Fritz Followers Were Prescient: “Catching Up” On The Fed’s Mistake
Remember way back to December 24, 2018? Seems like a long time ago?
It was a terrible day for stocks. The S&P 500 plunged 2.7% on a holiday-shortened Christmas Eve trading day that followed the worst week for Wall Street in seven years.
