ReplyDeleteWhat's your take on the inflation debate and whether the FED needs to tighten quickly?

A quick reactionary tightening almost always leads to discouraging business innovation climate. I'd say this time they will error on the side of allowing a bit more inflation and not be too quick to raise rates... from past experience, that's the best mix.
