The outlook for the economy with a Fed intent on keeping the printing presses going at full speed isn\u2019t a good one, as prices will likely only increase in the future.<\/p>\n<p>With the Federal Reserve increasingly imposing itself on the economy, it has nearly become the arbiter of financial success, a position it was never envisioned it would assume. And increasingly the fates of investors and their assets are being caught up in the Fed\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n<h2>Fed Chairmen and Their Mark on Society<\/h2>\n<p>The identity of the Federal Reserve Chairman may normally only be of concern to policy wonks, economists, and Washington insiders, but there are Fed Chairmen who have made their mark in popular culture. Ben Bernanke became a symbol of the response to the 2008 financial crisis. Alan Greenspan became synonymous with the stock market euphoria of the late 1990s under President Clinton. And Paul Volcker\u2019s fight against inflation paired him with the goals of the Reagan administration.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, there have been other Fed Chairmen who haven\u2019t been nearly as good. One of the worst in recent times was G. William Miller, appointed by President Carter in 1978. He didn\u2019t even last 18 months in office before he was nominated to become Treasury Secretary. Miller\u2019s weak stance towards fighting inflation was abhorred in Washington, and his tenure has become synonymous with failure.<\/p>\n<p>The question before us now is whether Fed Chairman Jay Powell will go down in history as another Miller or as the next Volcker. Watching the Fed\u2019s actions over the past year, there\u2019s certainly nothing to give us any confidence that he\u2019ll be anything like the latter.<\/p>\n<h2>What the Fed Is Doing Right Now<\/h2>\n<p>In its latest FOMC statement, the Fed stated that it would continue purchasing at least $80 billion in Treasury securities and $40 billion in agency mortgage-backed securities per month. That\u2019s nearly $1.5 trillion dollars of asset purchases per year, minimum. Notice that the statement doesn\u2019t talk about an upper limit, so that the Fed remains free to purchase well more than those amounts, in the event the government continues to pass multi-trillion dollar spending bills to spend money it doesn\u2019t have.<\/p>\n<p>Powell, for his part, seems blissfully unaware of the problems facing the US economy. He recently stated that the financial system isn\u2019t being <a href=\"https:\/\/ca.finance.yahoo.com\/news\/powell-financial-system-not-threatened-by-frothy-asset-valuations-205533333.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">threatened by \u201cfrothy\u201d valuations<\/a>, a statement that seems eerily reminiscent of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/id\/18718555\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ben Bernanke\u2019s statements in 2007<\/a> that problems in the subprime mortgage market were largely contained and wouldn\u2019t spill over into the overall financial system. Whoops, he really got that one wrong.<\/p>\n<p>You almost want to feel bad for Powell, that he just doesn\u2019t get what we\u2019re facing, which could be a repeat of 2008 just on a much larger scale. Like Miller, Powell isn\u2019t an economist, he\u2019s a lawyer. He cut his teeth on Wall Street, and has bounced around in government off and on over the past 20 years. But while he may not understand what\u2019s happening, apparently no one else at the Fed does either.<\/p>\n<p>There isn\u2019t a single solid voice at the Fed sounding the warning, nor is there any dissent at FOMC meetings. No one wants to be the party pooper, and so all we hear from Fed officials is how they\u2019re on top of things, how inflation isn\u2019t really that bad, and how we have nothing to worry about. Ha!<\/p>\n<h2>The Fed Is Out of Touch<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s easy for them to say, with their cushy six-figure incomes and massive asset accumulation from their careers in finance and government. But like most people who have spent their careers in Washington or who have traveled through the revolving door between finance and government, their understanding of what ordinary people go through is sorely lacking.<\/p>\n<p>When you make $150,000 to $400,000 a year for years or decades, you forget what it\u2019s like to have to really budget and save. You don\u2019t have to worry about whether you\u2019re going to be able to get braces for your teenagers. You don\u2019t have to worry about choosing between paying medical bills or putting food on the table. And you don\u2019t have to worry about retirement because you have a nice retirement package already in place.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps more importantly, the Fed&#8217;s monetary policy benefits people in Washington and on Wall Street, further impacting their ability to empathize with the average American. Maybe Jay Powell does notice that the grocery bills are getting larger each month. But his investment assets are probably doing phenomenally thanks to the trillions of dollars the Fed has pumped into the financial system, so he thinks everything is working out in the end.<\/p>\n<p>But what about people who don\u2019t have hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars of investments? Or more importantly, what about those who have scrimped and saved to build up a sizable nest egg and who risk losing everything in a stock market crash? Unlike Powell and his friends in Washington and on Wall Street, those ordinary Americans don\u2019t have the resources to overcome a catastrophic loss to the value of their investments.<\/p>\n<h2>Protect Your Investments<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s an old joke that says that if the government says something, it\u2019s likely that the opposite is true. But it\u2019s more a truism than a joke today. So when you hear the Fed saying that inflation is still low, that rising prices aren\u2019t being caused by inflation, or that asset prices aren\u2019t excessively valued, it\u2019s probably a safe bet that everything you\u2019re hearing is dead wrong.<\/p>\n<p>The experiment in monetary creation that we\u2019re seeing today is on a scale that is mind-boggling. Both the size of the Fed\u2019s balance sheet expansion and the speed with which it occurred have irrevocably changed the conduct of monetary policy going forward. It\u2019s hard to imagine the Fed being able to wrangle the genie back into the bottle now that it has created trillions of dollars in a single year.<\/p>\n<p>The danger to savers and investors will only continue to grow as the Fed continues its asset purchases. Most analysts don\u2019t expect the Fed to end asset purchases this year, or even to taper them by next year. And with no upper limit to the amount of money the Fed can create to purchase new government debt, the government can spend itself into oblivion while the Fed stands by aiding and abetting it.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps at no other time in our country\u2019s history has the possibility of out of control inflation been so great. We\u2019re standing on the precipice of a potentially catastrophic economic collapse, with the Fed\u2019s monetary mismanagement leading the charge. Millions of Americans could see the purchasing power of their savings wiped out, with nothing they can do about it.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why it\u2019s more important than ever to try to protect your savings while you still can. Once the next crisis is underway, it\u2019s going to be too late to try to protect your assets while everyone else is doing the same thing. Proper preparedness now can save you plenty of pain in the future.<\/p>\n<p>More and more investors today are turning to gold and silver to protect their assets against inflation, hedge against a stock market crash, and defend themselves against financial turmoil. They\u2019re turning to investment vehicles like a <a href=\"https:\/\/goldco.com\/gold-ira\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gold IRA<\/a> to do that, giving themselves the ability to protect their existing retirement assets, enjoy the benefits of a tax-advantaged IRA retirement account, and know that their wealth is secure by owning precious metals.<\/p>\n<p>If you have retirement savings that you\u2019ve been saving and investing for decades, don\u2019t you owe it to yourself to protect them against asset devaluation and loss? Don\u2019t wait any longer to protect your hard-earned wealth.
