TJ 115: Bear Markets and the Fed

Central banks across the world held the bear markets at bay for the past several years with quantitative easing and the printing of trillions of dollars' worth of currency, and within the US, keeping interest rates at 0% for close to a decade. Despite talk that the rate would increase earlier in September, the can was kicked down the road once again, and the market responded in kind. In this episode, Tim, Matt, and guest Dean Beckette discuss the current bear markets across the world and central banks' role in creating the current set of circumstances that led to them.
