and also print and inject $4 TRILLION into the economy to prop it up. I wonder why the market flatlined between 2014 and 2016 when the free money, QE flow was turned off?
Lol...the stock market doesn't mean a booming economy. Anyone can do well in the stock market when there's record easy money policies.

Fed is raising in an attempt to seem in control. They aren’t the primary driver behind rates going up. All they can do is print until their inflation crashes the economy.
RafiMaas saysActually Obama was President from 2009 to 2017 and handed Trump a far better economy than was handed to Obama.Lol...the stock market doesn't mean a booming economy. Anyone can do well in the stock market when there's record easy money policies. The fact that the Fed is raising rates is a compliment to the Trump administration because it means they trust the economy enough to tighten.

Are we at DOW 30,000 yet? 27,000?

I'm more worried about their secretive quantitative tightening, which will have a much bigger impact. They may hold FFR steady, but they continue to roll off billions of $s in long term bonds and mortgage assets.
