Professor "stocks for the long run" Jeremy Siegel thinks that the Fed is getting too anxious to raise rates.

He cites the fact that the U.S. dollar has already gotten very strong and is impacting American companies. Rising rates would only exacerbate that issue.

Siegel thinks the Fed would be well advised to wait until the economy is growing at a faster clip before tightening.
