Quoted: Thats a scary but plausible theory. With no discernible rise in inflation, interest rate increases SHOULD cease/stop. If what you say is true, they won't. View Quote |

What's crazy is Trump ran on being against QE and railed against Janet Yellen.
Now he wants to act like a liberal with the Fed. Nutjob. |

It's been the plan by the fed reserve to keep increasing interest rates, till they tank the economy, and blame Trump for it. remember - the feds were completely afraid of doing anything with interest rates, and they even bought back their own notes at sales, to keep the economy going for fbho. now that the dems are not in office, they have nothing to worry about, and have kept raising rates, faster than what they should have. and now they are begining to see the results they want. a collapsing economy while Trump is in office. next from the left: See! Trump's policies don't work. WE NEED TO INCREASE TAXES NOW TO SAVE THE ECONOMY! BASIC INCOME FOR THE POOR NOW! etc.... View Quote The recession was 10 years ago. And collapsing economy eh?? |

Trump: "Hey Rand, I hear you want to audit the Fed?"
Rand: "Sure do." Trump: "Take some IRS and DOJ boys over and have at it." Fed: "Well fuck..." |

I bought SNAP awhile back, so probably. View Quote We're walking on thin ice if the success of a tech stock relies on Kylie Jenner's opinion of it. Considering how many teens are using Snapchat, they would have to do something insanely stupid to screw it up. Probably haven't found a way to monetize it. Twitter had the same problem for years and people said it would go nowhere. It's been trending up since mid-2016 so they must have found a way. |

One of the issues is the 20 trillion in US Debt! Every 1% increase is 200 million in extra interest we will pay. 10 year treasury a year ago was 2.4..Now 3.25

The market is forward looking. So, for example, unemployment is 3.9%. Natural unemployment is just north of 5%. It has only one direction to go, because it can't go below zero. But more importantly, the Fed created this economy. They can take it away. View Quote |

It's been overheating a bit, time for some reality for a while.
Interest rates can't stay rock bottom zero forever. We need some trend to more normal rates. Say 5% to 8% home loans at least. That will mean, as some pointed out, that the stock market will lose some people and some money I imagine, for a while. Maybe I'm up in the night thinking I can get at least a percent or two on money I have in the bank. Not that saving will make me money, I just don't want to lose money on my savings via inflation. |

SELL SELL SELL
I'm not kidding. You guys who think that you can just sit around and pull in 15 to 20% per year on your stocks in the "markets" are in for a rude 2008-style awakening. The "market" is not actually a real market. It's manipulated by insiders, big investment banks, and interest rates and you have no idea what you are really getting into. Guns, ammo, tobacco, alcohol, food, water, gold, and silver are what you need. |
