Confusion in Fantasy Land Triangle Breakout Failure? The stock market’s initial reaction to the FOMC announcement was interesting, to say the least.

Yellen Is Trapped in the Worst Nightmare Ever
Yellen Is Trapped in the Worst Nightmare Ever Yellen has inherited a complete nightmare.

Census Data Proves It – There Was No Economic Recovery Unless You Were Already Rich This is the perfect post for Fed day, where once again America’s Banana Republic central planning statists were too petrified to raise interest rates.

Bankers Threaten Fed with Layoffs if it Doesn’t Raise Rates “Let me assure you, if the revenue environment weakens or interest-rate structures don’t move up and the economy slows down, we’ll have to take out more costs,” Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan said on Thursday at the Barclays Global Financial Services Conference.

Will The Fed Pick A Winning Combination?
Will The Fed Pick A Winning Combination? It’s highly amusing to read all the ‘expert’ theories on a Federal Reserve hike or no hike tomorrow, but it’s also obvious that nobody really has a clue, and still feel they should be heard. Don’t know if that’s so smart, but I guess in that world being […]
Goldman Sachs——-Perpetuator Of The Fed’s Jihad Against Savers
Goldman Sachs——-Perpetuator Of The Fed’s Jihad Against Savers You can’t blame Janet Yellen entirely for the growing prospect that the Fed will take a powder on Wednesday and opt for the 81st straight month of ZIRP. After all, she’s basically a fuddy duddy school marm caught in a 1970s labor economics time warp—–a branch of the […]
