“i think it's much better for the long-term investor that the fed takes this aggressive stance and gets inflation under control i think the most damaging thing to our portfolios in the long run is sustained heightened inflation not the federal funds rate going up temporary but inflation”

What was said around it

percent and 1.75 percent now here's the interesting thing right when this happened right when the fed announced the 0.75 percentage point increase the stock market across the board went down like half a percent half a percent to a full percent so investors were acting like this wasn't priced in like they weren't ready for this and maybe the fed would do a half percentage point and i think that this is the wrong reaction i think the market has this wrong i think it's much better for the long-term investor that the fed takes this aggressive stance and gets inflation under control i think the most damaging thing to our portfolios in the long run is sustained heightened inflation not the federal funds rate going up temporary but inflation so even though the market right now is trying to make sense of this and there's this little sell-off i think this is overall positive news inflation needs to come down that's better for long-term investors it's better for the stock market overall and the quicker we can do this the better so i think this little sell-off on the fed increasing interest rates by 75 basis points is unwarranted investors should look at this as a positive thing it means that inflation
