Why is the stock market crashing, the dumb fed hasn't said anything

[Anonymous]

Between Fed's .75 bp (maybe 1.0) increase and Putin's threats early this morning, depending on Powell comments, today could be rough. Before Putin's comments, I think if Powell had announced the increase, but made some comment about making progress, I think the market would have gone up.

You know this doesn't have anything to do with Biden.

I'm not sure the market is 'discounted' but in general it's good to keep buying. I think the problem are for the people who stretched thin and use the market for quick influxes of cash they need and assumed it just keeps growing.

Yes, I was being sarcastic. I know it's not Biden's fault, but the POTUS always gets blamed. So putting that aside,
Do people really believe that just because their 401k is down - as is mine - that the market will never bounce back?

It could be a long wait before the market “bounces back.”

Look at the 2000-2010 period for a decade of lost returns.

Sure, but again, unless you are retiring soon, should you take advantage of this and buy like crazy? If you are still saving for retirement in 10+ years.

We have a problem of rising rates and still rising inflation due to at least both of those issues.

The Fed have gotten themselves into a bind since they kept easing when they should have stopped stimulus and started raising much earlier.

True. Remember "Inflation is transitory" from last year Fed speak. Ha ha. The Fed looks like fools. They can't keep looking like fools, so they need to act tough for a few months.

There is sticky service related inflation right now. Raised wages, so then the companies pass this cost on to consumers. Consumers pay more for services.

The Fed and the WH, where Yellen was saying it was fine to do larger and larger stimulus packages.

We should give an award to Sen. Manchin, though. He saw this and prevented making things even worse.

If I were retirement age right now, with my 401k decreasing in value combined with inflation, I would be upset.

You’ve got to be kidding me. They just rode an insane move up and now they should be concerned about a minor pullback? Unless they got into GME and crypto at the top, they are fine.

You know who wasn’t fine? The younger generation that have been disproportionately screwed by pretty much everything.

Small caps, mid caps and foreign stocks did OK during this time actually. So if you were all in the DOW, then sure, you had a decade of no returns.

Sectors may go through long dry spells but thats why you diversify.

what's your definition of crashing? as of today (midday), the Dow is down 15%, S&P 500 down 19% and NASDAQ down 27% for the year. That's what I would call a correction - one that has been LOGN overdue.

and just for kicks, what would have the Fed do?

The stock market has extra in it because the interest rates have been so low so long. People are moving some money to CDs and other interest bearing accounts. It in end it will be a more balanced economy. The rise in interest rates is a good thing. N

Everyone was fine with the possibility of inflation when they were handing out free stimulus checks and child tax credits. Now it’s time to pay the piper and everyone is big mad. Actions have consequences and this was totally predicted.

Inflation is mostly from supply chain, Chinese lock downs and Ukraine war. There have been no new checks and yet inflation persists

You right wingers have been crying “Inflation is coming” for going on 2 decades; predictions meet broken clock.

I’m not a right winger, not even close. Not everyone who disagrees is a Republican.

Still doesn’t change the fact that predictions are nonsense because the raise the inflation bogey man all time.
