Episode notes
Fed's Two-Headed Problem
- The Fed faces a tradeoff: inflation control pushes rates up while weaker jobs push rates down.
- That tension creates uncertainty and limits clear, one-size-fits-all policy moves.
Stick To Your Investing Process
- Do not let headline rate changes drive market timing decisions.
- Automate investments, always be buying, and stick to your long-term plan.

- Fed policy affects short-term rates directly, but mortgages follow long-term Treasury yields.
- Markets are forward-looking, so mortgage rates can fall even when the Fed's cut targets short-term rates.
