OT/Techplayer, I agree with NYTimes J. Crudele that the Fed
has to hike rates, ~60% chance

nypostonline.com

This is the biggest bull with the most froth and it is
still frothing at the mouth inspite of 7 rate increases.

The Market is it's own worst enemy. It does not
understand that the Fed
-IS targeting it
-it IS targeting irrational exuberance
and,
-DOES want to take away the punch bowl before the party goes wild.

And yet, everytime it raises rates, the party gets wilder.

If after no increase now they have to raise .25
in August, that may not be enough and then they have to keep
raising during election or raise a big .50.
By then they risk being perceived as " soft " on inflation.

Then inflation psychology takes on and people will start asking for higher wages.

If it has no effect, then they have another .25 or .50 in August.

( I've prefaced this post with **OT** because this is my
only opinion ),

TA

tunica, Is that your assessment? It would appear that the consensus right now is that rates will remain as they are until August. tp
