In this episode of "News or Noise" with Chris Perras, Chief Investment Officer at Oak Harvest Financial Group, we revisit a critical topic that has been shaping the financial landscape over the past year: the Federal Reserve's Balance Sheet and its ongoing operating losses. If you're an investor, this is information you can't afford to miss.

Exactly one year ago, we delved into this issue, expressing concerns about the Federal Reserve's balance sheet and the potential consequences of rising interest rates in 2022. Little did we know that the financial landscape would continue to evolve with events like the Silicon Valley Bank implosion, regional bank runs, and an additional $2 trillion deficit in 2023.

In this episode, we discuss the Federal Reserve's balance sheet, its continuing operating losses, and unrealized mark-to-market losses, which have likely surpassed $1 trillion and are still mounting. These developments will have a profound impact on your investments, shaping decisions made by both the Federal Reserve and the Treasury in the coming quarters, years, and even decades.

Don't miss out on this vital information that can impact your financial future. Watch the full video, and be sure to read Avi Gilbert's analysis for a comprehensive understanding of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet woes.

Many investors who follow the markets love to discuss economic theory and the virtually nonstop government data releases. I'm here to tell you you're wasting your time. The vast majority of these topics, discussions, and data, while intellectually interesting, will not improve your investment returns. 99. %+ of the data that is released is a complete waste of your time and energy. It's noise.
