I do re Fed Raising rates.

WHY?

IF they don't they only delay what they should have been addressing back off 2013 Summer.

And although it's nice to see higher indexes.. Higher stock values.. None of them have stopped the inevitable.

Dollar was heading to par against the EURO..

Many who don't understand are singing in the streets due to a weaker EURO. Oh go ahead and book those flights, hotels, buy those Herme's clothing while there..

While I'm here. Looking lookie how those day traders are running. Check out the BP MO.

Wonder what happens as the larger indicators follow. I've a 45/35/25/15 ish for that BP SPX

ALL IMO

The surging dollar is a signal that a colossal financial event is just around the corner Read more: businessinsider.com The dollar is set for its strongest quarterly strengthening since 1992, according to Bank of America, a good sign that a rate hike is around the corner. When markets expect that US interest rates will be hiked, it typically strengthens the dollar. That's because people rush to change other currencies into dollars — they can make more money in dollar-denominated investments. The higher demand for the US currency drives its value up. In the past, significant dollar gains against other currencies have pretty much happened only during periods of extreme financial or geopolitical distress. The last four large dollar shocks in the past 45 years have been symptoms of huge financial events: the collapse of Lehman, Britain's panicky ejection from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) in 1992, the first Gulf War, and Paul Volcker's shock rate hikes in the early 1980s. Today's surge is already considerably larger than the one that surrounded Lehman's collapse, although the economic conditions are very different. Here's how it looks in historical context:
