PRESSURE CONTINUES TO MOUNT ON FED TO HALT RATE HIKES; TOM LEE IS A GOD DAMNED CLOWN

I bet Tom Lee was never mentioned in a headline with the Fed. Consider this a bucket list item for him.

First on Clown Lee.

Now on the Fed.

This from Cramer now.

“If the Fed moves in December, you’ll wish you sold at these prices,” Cramer said on “Squawk Box.” “There’s nothing good here.”

Agreed? I do. Bad opens like this sometimes cause a capitulation bottom. But words cannot express how important it is for Goldman Sachs, errr, the market, that the Fed halt hiking rates.

If the Fed hikes in December, markets die. Trump gets kicked into manhole. If Fed pauses, TLT shoots higher. Actually, I think the market will lift TLT regardless. The point I am trying to make is the days of the dot plot are soon coming to an end. Bonds are cheap and my $TMF is gonna lift today.

    still do not understand how we are so low and corporate balance sheets strongest in history yet market cries over small rate hikes. How did we survive the 80’s/90’s/ etc when rates were 10% or higher??

    Moreover, given that the December rate hike is a given and expected by the market, why would it collapse if the rate hike goes into effect??

      Stocks don’t peak when things start to get worse; they peak when things stop getting better.

      Also look at 3-month performance: AAPL, AMZN, FB, and GOOG are 4 of the largest stocks by market cap, and they are down 15-20%. I’m going to say that those 4 stocks represent about 10-12% of the S&P 500, if I remember correctly.

      when I say so low, I am referring to interest rates. I think there might have been a mis-understanding.

    what’s important to consider here is that if they’re using this gap down > to sell the lasts top remais into this gap cover , next there will be a much lower and far lower landing point
