Correction : S2007S was not shorting Oil in the bear market for most commodities, he was heavily long buying UWTI ( triple long etf ) and adding to his position as it cratered.

Or an end to the record corporate buybacks...how conveniently you ignored this little tidbit.

Corporate buybacks is the way they have kept the record earnings going..without those corporate buybacks over the last 5-6 years earnings would have been down greatly....another way to inflate earnings is through corporate buybacks but don't tell anyone that because most won't believe it.

Three things, in reversal order, are worth noting.

1) Fed has always been and will always be the pawn of financial markets. Did they hike the rate in December of their own accord? Some people naively think so. Had the market not asked for one, they would have never done so.

2) Their response is always too little, too late...until the fire engulfs everything. Then they freak out and go on a spending binge, which ultimately creates another bubble.

3) Fed was the cause of all previous bubbles (see #2).

The fed is the one who has created every asset bubble the last 20+ years.......they are creating the problem not the solution ...

You remain the most clueless poster on this site. Yes, you've repeated the same pointless, useless shit millions of times over a 6 year period. You got that right. The economy is doing fine, you just refuse to acknowledge it. Perhaps you don't understand what a stress test is. Perhaps you don't realize that your bias leads you to cherry pick news stories that you think support your idiotic theories. Funny thing is, sometimes you don't even understand the stories you pick out.

The rate hikes are NOT off the table. Remember when you said they wouldn't raise the interest rates last year and I clearly told you there would be a small raise in the fall ? In fact, the Fed themselves telegraphed that rate hike all year, but you refused to believe them. So a bunch of you got all excited when they delayed two months, gleefully exclaiming what "fools" we were to tell you that a rate hike was coming. Two months later it came.

You are the fool here. You shorted Oil all the way down in a bear market. You continually proclaim a 40-60% stock market crash is imminent, and it's not. No chance at all of that happening, companies are too profitable in your so called "useless" world economy.

At times, I just feel sorry for you, you seem uneducated, so I back off and leave you alone. But when you start spamming the board with your posts about "fools" and imminent doomsday events, all bets are off.

As this market continues to fall the raelte hikes are OFF the table....there are suppose to be about 4 rate hikes this year...I can tell you now any further decline in the markets along with more central bankers taking rates NEGATIVE around the world and you can just forget about any further rate hikes here in the US...job number completely missed and last weeks GDP figure was downright pathetic and you honestly think the economy can handle a 1% fed funds rate ha-ha......yes I did say no rate hike in 2015 but the fed had to make that move in December to show the markets they haven't lost their backbone however that was just a simple game...everyone knows they are bluffing about future rate hikes....the economy is worthless and even a fed funds rate at .50% or 1% will destroy any growth prospects that are left....now just sit back and wait for those NEGATIVE INTEREST RATES to come because when they do its going to be quite a show especially with more QE 4......the fed is designed to prop up stock markets and nothing else...a falling market and all they do is rig the rates and pour trillions into the economy to keep it sustained. Yep economics 101...hahah..

Corporate buybacks mean the companies believe in their future and are willing to buy a greater share in themselves at current prices.
