While most of the country is focused on the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy as it pertains to interest rates, fewer people are focused on other aspects of the Fed’s monetary policy.

But this year could be different. Anyone who remembers how gold fared from 2008 to 2011 remembers how it just seemed like the gold price was soaring ..read more

While the Federal Open Market Committee was expected to hold rates steady at last week’s meeting and did so, and while no one expects rates to be cut before June at the earliest, you would think that the fact the Federal Reserve is holding rates steady would have been greeted with a groan from markets. Instead, markets soared after the Fed’s meeting, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average gaining over 400 points and the S&P 500 gaining over 45. What’s going on?
