CNNFN is telling us what the message is: For consumers, the rate increase means interest payments on their credit cards and lines of credit are once again going up. The Fed hopes such increases will make consumers think twice about charging that expensive meal or buying that new notebook computer. Damn! I was looking forward to charging that steak tonight on my Master Card. And my notebook is shot, but guess I will have to patch it with duct tape. The same goes for companies, which will be paying a little more to borrow money to finance their ventures... Yeah, same goes for you, company dudes! OK, FOMC's over, let's go long.
