The Federal Reserve’s Taper: Does It Matter?

Like 0

By Callum Newman, Wednesday, 02 March 2022

News from the Fed always gets a response from markets. But does it actually matter?

Jim Rickards says that maybe it doesn’t. The tapering announced in September 2021 is an example of this. At the time, Jim spoke to an insider who told him just how seriously to take these kinds of announcements.

So make sure you know how to figure out the real story — it will be vital to your investments…

Best wishes,

The value of any investment and the income derived from it can go down as well as up. Never invest more than you can afford to lose and keep in mind the ultimate risk is that you can lose whatever you’ve invested. While useful for detecting patterns, the past is not a guide to future performance. Some figures contained in our reports are forecasts and may not be a reliable indicator of future results. Any actual or potential gains in these reports may not include taxes, brokerage commissions, or associated fees.
