The Fed will raise rates ...... heck ... they have already virtually told everyone its coming ... and to not act would undermine the work the TYX.X has done and possibly push any potential overheating of the economy into overdrive before a potential fall. The bigger question is whether they maintain their tightening bias aswell. If they do that, the market will pull back in a reasonable fashion. If they don't, the market bubble will continue to grow. Course the nightmare scenario is rising rates with hidden deflation kicking-in. But thats another story ...... Stephen

Hi James .. 1. I think that it might be fair to say that a rate hike is "priced into the market" already. If that is the case then when it takes place the market should head north (buy the news). 2. The value of the dollar will go up as a result of this rate hike. 3. Armstrong has most foreign investment money out of our equity markets at this time. When the dollar jumps in value some of that money should return. 4. The OEX/SPX ratio that I showed you a couple of weeks ago shows signs of reversing the crossed swords. (FWIW) Gersh
