TDI Podcast: Throwing Spaghetti with Danielle DiMartino Booth (#484)

Guest, Danielle DiMartino Booth and Andrew discuss some of the inside scoop on the Fed’s decision making process. Trial balloons and throwing spaghetti appear to be some of the core disciplined that are used. Of course that is not what they would like us to believe, but Danielle exposes the Fed and how they come to their decisions.

Danielle’s recent article – Beer Goggle Markets is explored to better understand her take on investor sentiment.

We also spend some time on the potential changes that are taking place in the markets with a win by Trump. Amazing how most of the talking heads got this one wrong – from the winner to the market’s reaction.
