Questions people ask

What have finance YouTubers predicted about the Fed policy rate?

As of Nov 4, 2026, Callsight counts 106 calls about the Fed policy rate that tracked channels made themselves, checked against the upper end of the federal funds target range on FRED. At one year: 48 correct, 8 incorrect, 2 still open. The other 48 have no one-year verdict; each call's card says why.

How is a call about the Fed policy rate checked?

Against the upper end of the federal funds target range on FRED, using each value as it was first published rather than later revisions, at 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, by fixed rules that are the same for every channel.

Is this investment advice?

No. This is a record of what people said in public and what happened next. Nothing here tells you to buy or sell anything.

Every count on this page includes repeats: a call made again in a later video counts again, so the counts can differ from a channel's record, which counts each distinct call once.
