And just for kicks and giggles, what if... the FED raises rates as a favor to Japan, to weaken the Yen, so there markets get a pop, which is exactly what their central banks cannot do anymore? Just saying. Don't count it totally out. If they raise before the elections, they have to to it now, waiting would be disastrous for the rigged democratic election. Wow, that would proof beyond doubt,m this election is so rigged, and Hillary is telling everyone what to do and they do it.
