For the record, I am long SPY since last week and have a vested in seeing prices rise. But this move higher is more than unjustifiable; it is treasonous!
Back in the old days, men would be whipped at the gibbet for buying stocks on news that the Fed was going to hike rates, one day following news it would not hike rates. In other words, the Yellen Fed has lost all semblances of respectability. Her underlings do not respect her– or she’s playing a duplicitous game of good cop v bad cop, like an idiot in the 4th grade.
The wholesome idea that corporate profits are going to flourish in this environment is inspirational and filled with zest. I invite you to go long equities, into the energetic blades of a lawnmower. While the months of March and even April are a boon for investors, especially those intent on investing like imbeciles, I challenge you to try that sort of vaudeville in May or even June, when markets fall in under the grips of shock therapy–heading into the wondrous vote for BREXIT and the seasonal summer doldrums that should pose as an unstinted bridgehead to the apocalypse.

Yes, good, since debt is not such a big deal as Right Wingers make it out to be.

Even Right Wingers know this, as they only show concern when Left Wingers spend money. When Right Wingers put one unnecessary war after another, or on anything else they desire, on the national credit card, they have no concern at all.
When the Fed says they are not going to hike rates, and then that they are going to hike rates, they often are able to get a pullback in the market. We’ll see if they get it this time. At any rate, they don’t seem to want to crash the markets or anything– just to keep the S&P from going to 2300 by next month.
After (finally) admitting the wealth effect didn’t work and was a primary objective. Why…. would they need…. to reach near highs again. Maybe it wasn’t…. wasnt…. like wasn’t…. like… that primary objective
