Delivering World-Class Financial Research Since 1999
Bank of America’s CEO got this right… Why interest rates will matter in 2026… Greg Diamond’s take… Peak oil growth… Why Maduro’s takedown is so timely… The U.S. sector that will benefit…
‘You shouldn’t know they exist, quite frankly’…That’s what Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan said recently about the Federal Reserve.Moynihan discussed the central bank in a CBS interview broadcast in the sleepy week between Christmas and New Year’s. He said that while the central bank has a big role in “stabilizing the economy,” there is “too much fascination with the Fed.”As Moynihan said…We’re a country that’s driven by the private sector, by what people do, and in the businesses and the companies, small companies and large companies, medium-sized companies, and entrepreneurs and doctors and lawyers – all these people drive our economy. The idea that we are, like, hanging on the thread by the Fed moving rates 25 basis points, it seems to me we’ve gotten out of whack.He approves of the Fed coming to the “rescue” in cases like the financial crisis and the onset of the pandemic. Otherwise, the Bank of America head put it, “You shouldn’t know they exist, quite frankly.”We agree.Imagine if every investor could forget about the Fed, or any government institution for that matter. They could just focus on which people or companies were creating the best value for others. Investing would become pretty straightforward.And, indeed, it can be if you focus on just that over the long run.But plenty of people don’t do this. They might be investors at Wall Street firms looking to hit quarterly or annual benchmarks… institutional investment committees with varied interests… analysts who just want to be “right”… or individual investors chasing quick gains with leverage…They’re not trying to exclusively build long-term wealth with great companies. They’re trying to bet on what the Fed will do to “help” or “hurt” the economy by monkeying with interest rates and policy.
