| 0:00.0 | Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again. |
| 0:05.0 | So today, we're going to talk about Trump's next economic issue, a comment from Powell and a question. |
| 0:15.0 | The Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said something that frequent viewers of this channel recognized, even though |
| 0:22.9 | he didn't say it the same way. |
| 0:25.5 | It prompted the same question from about a dozen people, asked in different ways. |
| 0:31.1 | This one is from Patreon, and I chose it because it's written in a funny way. |
| 0:36.2 | Quote, So I was watching TV and saw a report about the |
| 0:41.5 | Fed guy saying the stock market was overvalued. I turned into a meme. I was Leonardo DiCaprio pointing |
| 0:49.0 | at the screen. He's talking about the Buffett indicatoricator, I said to my friends. |
| 1:02.1 | And then I had to explain why a guy who has a net worth of $63 and two tick tax understood what a ratio of the GDP was. So thanks for making my friends think I'm secretly well invested, |
| 1:09.4 | with a monocle and everything. All of that to ask this |

| 1:22.3 | monocle to wear for this video. I couldn't find one. You need a top hat too. So, first, what did the Fed guy actually say? |
| 1:32.7 | Quote, we do look at overall financial conditions and we ask ourselves whether our policies |
| 1:39.7 | are affecting financial conditions in a way that is what we're trying to achieve. But you're right, |
| 1:46.4 | by many measures, for example, equity prices are fairly highly valued. Okay, so equity prices are |
| 1:56.0 | fairly highly valued. That's a very polite way to hint the stock market might be overvalued. Why didn't he just |
| 2:03.9 | come out and say the Buffett indicator is higher than it's ever been? A number of reasons. First is that |
| 2:11.1 | he's the Fed guy. He probably has access to much sharper tools than the Buffett indicator |
| 2:16.7 | that led him to a similar conclusion. |
| 2:20.3 | Second, is that the stock market isn't his job. The Fed's job is employment and price stability. |
| 2:27.9 | The stock market isn't really their concern if it doesn't relate to that. Third, past performance isn't a guarantee of the future. |
