Yellen JUST Flipped....
FULL TRANSCRIPT
you know sometimes i just don't even
know what to believe anymore it's
really frustrating but right after janet
yellen well maybe not right after but
after janet yellen shocked markets
by reminding you that the coupon code
expires tomorrow on cinco de mayo for
the program's link down below
okay uh after janet yellen freaked out
uh markets that hey
we might have to raise rates here in the
future which is obviously something she
internalizes it's obviously something
she believes obviously right
uh i mean hey she was talking about the
context of if we spend four trillion
dollars
economy could overheat and we might have
to raise rates that led the market to
have heartburn today the market was
pretty darn down today in fact the
nasdaq was down more than
any day it's been since march and we had
some big sell-offs the first week uh
first week in a bit of march but anyway
janet yellen
is now trying to backtrack some of those
comments
bloomberg has her quoted here saying
it's not something i'm predicting
or recommending if anyone appreciates
the independence of the federal reserve
i think that person is me okay so so
in other words let's let's clarify this
she's not predicting the fed's going to
raise rates
she's not recommending the fed raises
rates but
and that's what she did say here but she
did say earlier she thinks that rates
would go up
uh with potentially with biden's plan
which she didn't say that oh never mind
never mind i take that back
so you still think greats are going to
go up with biden's plan
and this has led a lot of people to go
well so that means you
internally think there's going to be
inflation
of course they try to address that as
well in fact i'm going to read this
section here from bloomberg thank you
bloomberg
yellen said she didn't anticipate a bout
of persistently higher inflation
but that if one occurred about a fire
inflation
the central bank has the tools to deal
with it the biden administration has
proposed the 4 trillion
plan uh and obviously she kind of
screwed things up a little bit earlier
in the day with her comments that hey we
might see higher rates so
what do we make of this well in my
opinion
i hate to say it but i think there are a
lot of absolutely clueless people right
now
in terms of what the heck is actually
going to happen with inflation
and this isn't to call janet yellen
clueless okay
i do have some skepticism about uh all
of
janet yellen's resources though because
look she did come out within like the
first two weeks of her
being in office talking about how uh how
many criminals
use bitcoin and it's like oh my gosh
this is a
old news old argument and be wrong it's
like less criminally used statistically
than
cash and it's certainly more trackable
than cash
so if anything criminals would be more
incentivized to use
cash and fiat cryptocurrency
so i'm a little skeptical like sometimes
i'm getting a little worried
that that janet's uh gonna say some
things
potentially without full research but
i wouldn't be surprised if she's at the
dinner table these are the conversations
that are coming out like oh yeah you
know we'll be raising rates soon now in
fairness
jerome powell did say hey look if rates
if if inflation goes up and we're wrong
and there is persistent inflation we'll
raise rates so she's not wrong about
that
suspicion i mean jerome powell did in an
interview with uh sarah eisen
in front of the imf uh say yeah look
that that
is our principal tool our principal tool
of controlling inflation
is raising rates so she's not wrong
about that
but really what she's doing is adding
fuel to the fire of all this confusion
like look if you're gonna speculate
about what the fed is doing maybe talk
to jay pal first and go yo jay powell
why do you think there's gonna be all
this uh you know lack of persistent
inflation have a conversation
and that way next time you get
interviewed you could say you know
jerome powell
uh strongly believes we're not going to
see persistent inflation
but you know if he's wrong obviously
rates would go up to to sort of control
inflation
at least i think that's what they would
do you know that's what i would try to
say if i were in her shoes
but oh instead she's like yeah yeah you
know another four trillion dollars you
know we gotta be careful with deficits i
mean we might have to raise rates
it's like oh janet janet you you just
you're messing you're messing with the
markets here you're really screwing
things up
but hey you know what in fairness it
created a buying opportunity went
shopping today i sent out alerts uh
like i always do when i go shopping uh
we'll see if
the red continues but the reality here
is all this talk
from janet yellen it doesn't really
matter does it
really matter i mean come on we already
expect that there's going to be
persistent inflation i mean look around
lumber prices commodity prices
we already expect it the thing that's
going to rescue this market
is data proving our expectations
wrong data coming out saying no there's
not going to be persist inflation that
is what is going to solve this
until that happens we are going to be on
this roller coaster where literally
markets get chest pain
every time somebody even mentions the i
word yeah
and in this case it does look like
there's an eye in team
i don't know bad jokes magics anyway i
just didn't want to
i did want to provide that insight that
janet yellen did give us a little flippy
floppy
tried to walk back her comments uh and
and sometimes honestly i hate to say it
but
you have to be a little bit skeptical
too like wait did you walk back those
comments because the market freaked out
or because you misspoke
all right folks thank you so very much
for watching hopefully appreciate these
updates i will never stop providing you
updates and thank you so much for being
here i love all of you
left right center it doesn't matter to
me and you know that folks
one day one day we're going back to the
moon okay
see y'all bye
