Fed Ends Historic Era by Raising Rates

December 17, 2015 By E.J. Smith

The Fed ended seven-years of sitting on its hands by finally raising interest rates. Really? One will have to look pretty hard to actually see it. Here’s a thought, how about Janet Yellen testifies in front of a room of retirees at a Town Hall style meeting instead of in front of a room of bureaucrats in D.C.

Does she not have a clue what her rock bottom interest rates are doing to retirees?

His focus at all times is on preparing clients and readers for “Times Like These.” E.J. graduated from Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts, with a B.S. in finance and investments. In 1995, E.J. began his investment career at Fidelity Investments in Boston before joining Richard C. Young & Co., Ltd. in 1998. E.J. has trained at Sig Sauer Academy in Epping, NH. His first drum set was a 5-piece Slingerland with Zildjians. He grew-up worshiping Neil Peart (RIP) of the band Rush, and loves the song Tom Sawyer—the name of his family’s boat, a Grady-White Canyon 306. He grew up in Mattapoisett, MA, an idyllic small town on the water near Cape Cod. He spends time in Newport, RI and Bartlett, NH—both as far away from Wall Street as one could mentally get. The Newport office is on a quiet, tree lined street not far from the harbor and the log cabin in Bartlett, NH, the “Live Free or Die” state, sits on the edge of the White Mountain National Forest. He enjoys spending time in Key West and Paris.
