Donald Trump: Leave artificial market

Donald Trump yesterday said interest rates set by the Federal Reserve are inflating the stock market and recommended US employees with 401(k) pension plans to get out of equities, just like he did.

“I did invest and I got out, and it was actually very good timing,” he said. “But I’ve never been a big investor in the stock market.

“Interest rates are artificially low. The only reason the stock market is where it is is because you get free money.”
