Has the Federal Reserve Lost Its Mind?

The wild market swings of 2022 are back and making headlines in the new year.

Why? Because a bevy of economic numbers was released this week and investors are trying to decipher what it means for stocks in the long run.

On today's episode of Making Money With Matt McCall, I dive into those numbers and explain how they could impact your investments. Some of the data may seem negative in the short term... But is it possibly a sign that the market is ready to turn the corner and head higher?

Then, there's the Federal Reserve. The minutes from the December meeting were released yesterday. And after going through them, I'm now officially concerned for that group of know-it-alls.

I might have previously given the Fed the benefit of the doubt. But that all changed after I read the latest minutes. Tune in today to find out why.

I also cover the housing market. Some folks are likely concerned about this sector right now. And in the short term, that concern is warranted...

But some figures suggest that homebuilders and related stocks could be strong through the rest of the Roaring 2020s. So we talk about those in more detail on the show.
