You obviously don't understand how the Fed works

Are you always so ready to offer opinions that are so ludicrous?

The Fed manipulates the interest rates to either slow down or increase the growth of the economy.

When the economy is booming, inflation sets in. In order to control that the FED increases interest rates, thereby making it more expensive for business to borrow money for continued growth. That extra expense negatively impacts earnings of business. Earnings drive share prices in the market. When prospects are positive for continued growth, share prices increase. When prospects are negatively impacted by increased costs, share prices decline.

I don't know where you went to school, but you either wasted your money or their time.
