Like the series of atmospheric rivers that pummeled California over the last several weeks, the Fed and other central banks’ aggressive constriction of monetary policy wreaked havoc on the markets last year. While it is understandable that most investors would certainly like to bid last year a good riddance, it is worth reflecting for [...]
