    Default Fed decision

    The Fed has decided to continue current policies. Two members of the FOMC dissented, in favor of some tightening. One additional dissent favored retaining prior language about retaining current low interest rates for a considerable time.

    The implication is that rate hikes might begin around the middle of 2015.

    Never happen. They can't afford to give themselves a rate hike.

    It really sucks when you have Banksters controlling the money and your economy. Wish there was a way to do away with The Federal Reserve / IRS.

    Where's that picture of a Nuke going off?

    As Bear said, it will never happen.
    Unless the whole systems fails.

    And that just might happen?????

    The BDI has hit just about the same lows, as they did back on 02/01/12.
    Except the highs for Oct-Dec of 2011 were a lot higher then our highs just a few months ago.

    If no one can afford the other guys exports, watch out.

    From where I set it's not looking good, but I've said that before.
    So I'll say it's looking worse then the last time.

    Some day it's going to fall apart and hard?
    I just don't know when that's going to happen.

    As expected, few changes for Fed. FOMC signals patience on rate hikes, still expects inflation to move back to 2% over time.

    Said the Fed: Our economy's strong
    & the job market's humming along
    But B4 we inflate
    We might as well wait
    In case our assessment is wrong.
