Also, this obsession of Wall Street in trying to figure out when the Fed will raise rates or leave out the phrase, "considerable time" is so stupid and a waste of time only because the Fed has no idea when they will raise rates. The Fed had no idea that the last recession had already begun when the economy was immersed in it. So, what makes anyone think that the Fed has any idea when they will raise rates. If the stock market falls 20% over the next 6 months, they will delay raising rates. It all depends on the direction of the stock market. Let's not kid ourselves here about the Fed caring about the positive direction of the US economy. I say this because the Fed has orchestrated a decline in US living standards (and, of course, real wages) by its sick policies which only benefit asset prices, capital consuming business and investments that only rise with extremely low rates. 47% of Nasdaq stocks are in a bear market, in the sense that they have fallen by more than 20% from its highs, But this situation can get much worse before it affects the senior averages. Just think back to the fall of 98.
