Does the President REALLY Have Control Over The Fed & Interest Rates?​

Mar 22, 2025 #jenniferlammer #bondbeginners #bondmasters

Can President Trump really take over the Fed, replace Powell & lower interest rates? Is this a repeat of the FTC firings or is the Fed somehow different?

In my opinion, the US Treasury bills will NEVER be a good deal. Can I underline the word NEVER?! This is my opinion, but non-government securities will always perform better because they don't have the crap returns of treasuries.

But I also refuse most of the stock market because their returns are also really bad. Look at their P/E and ask what is actually a good investment? Very few, if any. And certainly not the averages.

Show me wrong. Give examples how your wise investing (and not lucky gambles) has proven that "good investing" has worked out.

Watched this earlier and thought it was good. There is nothing to see so you can listen in one tab, play around the forum in a different tab. I read the comments below the vid, some are interesting. Just posting as food for thought.
