So Powell wants to dictate what the next appointed chairman is supposed to do?

no. Powell outlined a very reasonable and just way to do his job.

No sense Powell. Man I'm on the market from 2003 and he is worst ever chair of Fed. I don't remember any press-conference that had sense.

You're tripping, bud. The song always remains the same. Greenspan was part of a tremendous economic boom but when met with adversity, just like any other he faltered. Bernanke was no Volcker, his biggest accomplishment was bailing out the Big4. Yellen was relatively neutral due to the economy rolling steady. Jerome has dealt with the pandemic, the economic rise of China, and all the flaws that come with our lack of rates:inflation imbalance, that's all due to poor policymaking but Jerome has tried to utilize the tools at his disposal as effectively as possible. You can't hate on Jerome. You're a bum and despite being involved in the markets for 23 years you could never do a better job than Jerome has. He's articulate and as honest as big money allows him to be. Don't downplay the man for his commitment, much less his work.

The same Yellen who said inflation would be transitory after the passage of Bidens huge stimulus bill? The bootlicking of bankers feet is heavy today

I think we should have developed the 50 year yield that Yellen advocated for. Would have been a marvelous way to tie in big money for the long run. In hindsight with all this uncertainty today, that was quintessential to remaining #1 in terms of economic influence. The ball is loose and China seems to have a relatively good grasp on how to capitalize off our mistakes.

Powell is not ready to relinquish his unlimited power just yet. Greedy bankers.
