DC Tom Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 "To raise rates" Learn how to read idiot Except the Fed's not raising rates. Do you really need this explained? The Fed met. The Fed didn't raise rates. The Fed DIDN'T say they were going to raise rates in the future. But they DID say that economic conditions dictate keeping interest rates historically low for the foreseeable future. In other words: the Fed didn't raise rates. And the market went up.

3rdnlng Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I think all you guys just misunderstood gator's post. The fed (well, actually Obama) did raise the rate for a one night stay in Lincoln's Bedroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodbuster Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I think all you guys just misunderstood gator's post. The fed (well, actually Obama) did raise the rate for a one night stay in Lincoln's Bedroom. When President Clinton was asked to comment he just mumbled something about the hourly rate.

birdog1960 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 the more important point is how even a whisper or removal of a single word by the fed causes elation or panic among traders and the prospect of 10% changes when rates actually do rise significantly.. it shouldn't be this way. the market should be most dependent on the economy and the success or failure of the companies that comprise it. the fed and things like buy backs and the many other forms of market manipulation make it a perverse casino with "the house" being the big banks and funds and the odds ever in their favor.

Funny. I don't panic when the fed speaks and my P&L has been quite stable over the long term. But keep pushing your BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
