If you need more evidence that the Fed screwed up during its latest FOMC meeting, take a look at the below chart. This chart shows the Dow Jones Industrial Average (a stock index comprised of economically sensitive bell-weathers such as Caterpillar) vs. the NASDAQ (a stock index that is heavily skewed towards Tech giants). As

The financial media are euphoric that stocks are up today. However, they’re all ignoring the fact that the issue that triggered the recent sell-off (the Fed’s colossal policy error regarding the $USD) has not been resolved.
