The rest of the region and country would not be immune from a significant pullback in NYC real estate. For example, Florida will feel our rumble more than we felt theirs. Actually theirs ended up putting some money back to work here.

Janet Yellin, instead of facing a pleasant retirement, should face a firing squad. She took her goal as Fed chairman to be to inflate stock prices. PERIOD.

She didn't seem very independent, and failed to switch course after the presidential election.

Firing squad?

She did nothing that hasn’t been done for decades in this country.

I'm not bragging, I'm telling the truth. So it's not a brag.

Traveling is mad fun! I haven't traveled out of the country in years but my plan is to start doing that more in my 40s. We can't go rat-watching all day long haha.

No, I think she took wrong-headedness to a new and unique level. Greenspan was incompetent but this dame was a real balls-up doofus.

The economic PH.D recipient who has spent most of her life on the subject and has applied what she learned has already been replaced by a lawyer with less than 20 years of expertise in the field. I'd start dumping my stocks too if I knew a yes man with not as much expertise in the field as Yellen was going to be in charge of controlling the interest rates.

Yellen kept the interest rate close to 0 and every investor loved it, Trump comes in and causes the market to become overvalued now everyone are dumping their stocks.

I'd say that a lawyer with real-world investment banking experience is better suited for the job than an economist that couldn't find their way out of academia. Although Bernanke didn't have any either, yet he picked up the slack for two clueless presidents.

At the end of the day she helped get us through a recession. Y’all can complain all y’all want about nonsense but someone this current president like to brag about the stock market and economy, she was apart of for almost a decade

Jerome Powell is a former investment banker, who the hell trust an investment banker and a lawyer

Y’all fall for the okie doke everyday along with the rest of trump unqualified picks. I’ll be back in 6-8 years to see how it all planned out. I say we will be in another recession by then
