Bill Ackman Says 'Fed Must Hike Rates!!' (What Happens If They Do?)

[JenX]

When the WEF said "you will own nothing" they meant it. You don't even own the rights to your own body at this point if you need to work.

[CaseyBurnsInvesting]

The Fed makes me laugh and cry all at the same time. They’re trying to manage something that is best generally unmanaged.

[mikeygee]

The Fed are not idiots. They know what they are doing. They might not care how their actions impact you guys, but they are well aware of the consequences of every action they take. The moment you stop assuming they actually work for YOU, you will see they aren't idiots and they are shrewd calculators.

You have to wonder what 900 PHDs do at the fed 40 hours a week.

Australia and Canada and.... Have started with the interest rates climbing/not buying bonds

[oitzingerpeter]

We need a MASSIVE DEPRESSION to clean out the trillions and trillions of bad debt.

George, this is what bankruptcy is for. Money goes to 8%, overleveraged go bust, prices come down and responsible people take the reigns from fools

[Reathety]

Kinda feels like we're already in a depression. I'm not sure they can screw things up any worse. Well maybe I shouldn't issue that challenge.

[brawndothethirstmutilator]

As someone who’s lived in Argentina, can confirm that inflation doesn’t mean the economy must be booming.

[tommyboy]

It's almost over.You are most likely correct on all of it.Subbed

[joshuadodd]

Bill only opens his mouth when he has a position in play. I'm not too familiar with his consistency on returns.

[fminc]

We don't need Ackerman to tell us this.

He knows the truth, so he is just making up for that last gaffe in advance.

[carefulconsumer]

Larry Summers and Jeremy Siegel (Wharton) both said the Fed should have started raising rates last summer. Chances of Powell doing it? Probability is zero. Stonk market hit another high today.

[TheGrayer]

I don't understand why they think these tiny rises in interest rates years in the future will combat the very real inflation problem.

[qudizzle]

Buys interest rate derivates betting on rising rates - petitions FED to raise rates - anyone see a problem here?

[boracho]

George u better eat those fries before they get cold

[vvolfflovv]

For a minute there, I thought Georges pencils were McDonalds french fries.

[frasersamuel]

Australia is in real trouble if interest rates go up around the world. Our average mortgage in Sydney is 750 000

[mickygarcia]

Gold is on sale, and if rates start rising, that simply means that the banks will not have to settle for 5 basis points and they'll start lending. I think that Rafi Farber is correct about that.

[johnstibal]

Ackman wants the Fed Reserve to hike because he's going to make money as everything tanks and then he'll leverage into a Fed Stimulus to try and repair the damage. He's literally playing with the Fed.
