I'm John Bachelors with my good colleague Brett Arrons who's wondering the earth looking

for answers.

One answer is how long will this last as long as it takes. Brett, about two weeks ago, my

trustee dog sailor barked oddly in the morning about 730 in the morning while I was having coffee and he was supposed to be

patient because he'd had his supper. I thought what is that and I heard a bang in the garage.

I went out thinking it was the Amazon man coming very early.

No, it was a seven foot black bear.

What do you think, Brett?

Did I get the sign that we need a seven foot black bear in the group?

Yes, it sounds like it.

It sounds like it.

Who just who looked at me, looked around, he'd been raiding the garden for

blackberries, looked around, and then wandered off.

And of course, the seven foot black bear weighing

600 pounds he goes where he wants to you know nobody gets in his way of

course okay so this bear is gonna go where it wants to nobody's gonna get in its way

but the federal reserve is said to have raised rates,

perhaps a bit too far or kept them high a bit too long.

Is the Federal Reserve the famous Fed put the Greenspan put is that ahead of us or have we already

figured that that's not going to work this time? What's your measure?

Well it's interesting. Jerome Powell has made it very clear over and over and over again, and no one, you know, he's kept saying it and Wall Street didn't believe him,

that he was going to keep interest rates higher for longer, higher for longer, he wanted to kill inflation.
