    From bloomberg.com

    U.S. central bankers debating the merits of raising interest rates last month described the decision a close call, with several saying a rate hike was needed “relatively soon,” minutes of the September meeting showed. “Several members judged that it would be appropriate to increase the target range for the federal funds rate relatively soon if economic developments unfolded about as the committee expected,” the minutes from the Sept. 20-21 gathering in Washington showed. “It was noted that a reasonable argument could be made either for an increase at this meeting or for waiting for some additional ...

Yes, many equities are over priced and Fed knows that. They need to make sure there is no crash landing....so they keep people guessing with fancy words like 'relatively soon'. But some damage cannot be avoided.
America is the biggest joke on earth now.
P.E? choosing the badest among the worst? haha.....
Hillary will win for sure, CIA/FBI and the evil mastermind behind the scene will not allow Trump to sit on that chair, by all means, all means......

yup very true
laughing at the on going saga , back to trading
Fed always seems to do the opposite of what is needed, so maybe they will hike rates in December. When they hiked last December, 10 year bond yield declined from 2.26% to 1.36% to July this year and US dollar basket declined as well. Maybe a lot of this was because they took Feb/May rate hikes off the table..

Trump is better. Lots of quality people want to work for him. I have watched some Trump show. He chose his people carefully. Yeah, ppl don't like him. But with the aides, he can succeed.
They freaking change one or two words other time too, and guess what media all over it and saying that interest hike is coming and as of today no hike. That how the media do scanned the statements and see if any new words pop up. As soon as there is they just yell out interest rate are coming and increase the probablity lol/
I would like Trump to win but there are alot of idiots out there so Hillary will win simply because they assume she the only candidate worth voting for... The Very same person whose incompetence got her in trouble with the FBI and made the CIAs job much more difficult than it needs to be....
