Fed`s Rate Hike Fantasies

I think it is very likely that we are going to start to see weaker non form payrolls numbers, we are likely to see the unemployment rate notching up, which means those rate hike fantasies are going to be pushed off further and further into the future until they are ultimately obscured by the reality of QE4.

Federal Reserve: Walking On A Fine Line

This bubble is too big to pop because if the Federal Reserve does pop it, the result will be a financial crisis much worse than 2008. So the Fed must maintain the pretense that is going to raise rates without actually ever doing it. That is the fine line that they are trying to walk.

The Fed Will Only Raise Rates When They Are Forced To

They are never going to raise interest rates at least not until they are forced to. That is what I can`t understand, people have not figured this out yet, that Yellen has no intention of raising interest rates. She did mention that it was possible that they could raise rates but anything is possible. I mean an alien invasion is possible, right?... but its not going to happen. And it is not because of inflation, it is because we have a bubble, there is no legitimate recovery, if there was, they would have raised rates years ago. It is a gigantic bubble and the Federal Reserve is afraid to prick it.
