"It's Clearly Time For A Rate Hike"
Below we present total business sales, which just dropped another 0.2% in October to $1.317 trillion - the lowest since March and down 2.7% from a year ago - without a comment (we have said all there is to say about the US already being in a recession), suffice to say: clearly the time for a rate hike that "boosts confidence in the economy" has come.

Welcome to the twilight zone
You all need to ignore what you can see and BUY BUY BUY......hehehehehehehehehee
We've squeezed some folks.
Come on Mr. Yellen, toss that drowning man an anchor!
"Call the doctor, I think I'm gonna crash. Doctor says he's coming but you gotta pay him cash."
Kick it up 300 bps and let's get the party started.......
Keynesians might just think that was a good idea. It would help him to breathe more and harder, which is a symptom of being alive.
lol, that just never gets old.
Hillary and her crystal ball: Some 'splain to do? It's all bedknobs & broomsticks.
U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said on Friday that world financial markets have "already processed" a possible interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve.
"The Fed has been signaling this for a very long time if they do make this decision by the end of the year ... I think the markets in the U.S. and the world will have already processed that and they have laid out what criteria they think should be applied," she told reporters after a campaign event. Dec 4 (Reuters)

I don't want to know anything about Hillary's bedknob.
No worries, Huma has it covered.
That was excellent. Not exactly what I would call mind candy, but excellent nonetheless.
She's always there with the assist... ;-)

It was worth repeating. ;-)
You gave two hoots!
When it comes to finance, I think Hillary should stick to cattle futures. It seems to be a sure thing for some reason.
Well she is a cow...so she has that going for her there...
We got here with ZIRP. What good does it do to keep it going? Negatives outweigh the positives now. Ratchet to 1% is a done deal.
I think the Fed is ET.
ET, Go home.
The day the can stops being kicked is the day that WWIII officially starts (as well as the New NWO). Since I don't watch CNBS anymore, I can no longer tell if the fall guy has been setup for GS and JPM to "rescue" yet in order to get the next chapter of this story started.
Given the leverage provided to debt growth via ZIRP, there simply is no way out other than total destruction of the monetary system. (Mises told me) All in all, it's going to happen someday. Question is, what day has been planned that benefits them the most?
There is no back, there is only through.
Let them eat cake.
Clearly time to continue the lies...
Extend and pretend.
I'm konfident about keynesianiam kollectively koralling this eKononmy!
Time to hike rates to purge all those phony businesses.
You really think that would end the Fed?
I remember when the Bernank jacked rates to 5%+. Good times, seriously. That was the last time I got a decent return on my money market. It sucked bad when it went back down.
You will be telling that story years from now and jaws will drop and naysayers will doubt you because all they will have known is negative rates and out right oppression on all fronts. The great taking is about to kick off in earnest. I miss those rates too, BTW.
Had a lady friend back a while she was earning 14% on her cd's she worked in a factory, told me her money was earning more than she was.. Good Times for sure.. Cash will never be king again, it aint worth anything...
We are 1970's USA, is Yellen a modern Volker? That's a question that needs answered.
Modern Volcker? Right - what would double digit interest rates do to US Budget?
Go ahead - Hike rates to PROVE the economy is going strong! Then we'll see if the Fed is right or if ZH is right!
>ZH is right
>Fed is right
It's more correct to say the Fed is intentional. They know exactly what they're doing and that it ain't good for the 99%. But they're gonna do it anyway.
MOAR, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh huh ZIRP,
huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again,
y'all MOAR, huh,
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
Ohhh, ZIRP,
I despise
it means destruction
Of innocent lives...
No worries ZIRP, NIRP will be home soon.
Let the markets have a crack at where rates should be.
And let the people have a crack as to what should be done to politicians and bankers.
The markets have been on crack, so withdrawal will be a factor to consider before they take a "crack" at pols and bankster.
Margin compression is by far the biggest problem facing the economy. Additional debt yileds very little additional GDP and the world is awash in manufacturing capacity. What else do you need and how the hell is a rise in interest rates suppose to cure all this?
See how disconnected with reality these morons are folks, I don't know whether to laugh or cry...

The fact checkers in the media only attack those that oppose the narrative, and never those that spew it ceaselessly and without questioning their masters. We are so fucked as a nation and as a world.
Ain't gonna happen. Oh, she'll talk a good game, and maybe even say that they will now hike rates. But there will be offsets in other areas to counter any rate hike. The market will implode, and then rocket back up when the sheep realize that QE4 is coming and rates will have to remain near zero in perpetuity, or until the debt is paid off (never).
The real question is, will Bernanke nailgun himself if the Fed raises rates?
As everyone on here knows....
Here comes the dow back up to only down 165 points. PPT will do all it can to buy S&P to keep this bitch floating!
I want to see a REAL drop in this mother fucker....like 500 or 600 points! Not this monkeying around shit!
On 17 September 2015 (not even three months ago and AFTER the August 1000pt drop in the Dow) 13 of the 17 FOMC participants thought 2015 was the "appropriate" year for policy firming.
And the dot chart shows as "appropriate" target level for the federal funds rate for 2015:
0.75% - 1%: 1 participant
0.5% - 0.75%: 5 participants
0.25% - 0.5%: 7 participants
0.00% - 0.25%: 3 participants
-0.25% - 0.00%: 1 participant
13 of 17 thought the rate should be ABOVE 0.25% in 2015! The average target level of those 13 (I know, mathematically not really correct, but still) was 0.51%!!
I wonder how they are planning to explain to the masses that they've all completely changed their minds...

The former would presumably begat the latter. @ peter
It's past time to uncover this sham of a market,.
The Fed won't raise rates. They are looking at all of this data as well and will kick the can into 2016. Going into a tightening cycle right now would be a 1930's level error.
Delay .. like the Germans, they delayed to go to Russia and then they froze in the snow.. like morons.
Mr. Panos, is that you?
How long will it take for the focus on raising rates to morph into the necessity for additional QE...? At this rate, weeks...?
This is not the liquidity trap you were looking for. /JEDI mind trick
We raise rates only if the economy has recovered. We raise rates; therefore the economy has recovered. The logic is impeccable!
They do reveal themselves as liars or incompetents with this, do they not?
They are certianly liars. Their real economic model is the management of perceptions: an unholy union of Keynes and Bernays. Incompetent? I don't know. The dominant theory here is that it is all planned by the B.I.S. Just as the single currency was used to undermine sovereignty in Europe, so it will be used to undermine all sovereignty. At the heart of the NWO is monetary control. This theory becomes more credible to me every day.

Off in the distance you hear a hollow scritchy female voice:
"Oh wow, look at this market. Do you wanna take a bath?"
Edit: [Pink Floyd's "One of my Turns" is playing: "Day after day, love turns grey, like the skin of a dying man"]
everything is awesome so jack it to 5%!!! DO IT DO IT DO IT!!!
what do you mean unicorns don't exist? my Fed data says otherwise...
We are coming off the roller coaster peak--hands in the air!! Weak prediciton: things will accelerate enough to give the Fed the excuse they need to delay. Market will rally . . . but not for long.
I will be stunned if anything different will happen. Then a new news cycle will happen, other stories will emerge, and then they will play this funky music, white boy, again.
