How much market turmoil will an interest increase create? The market isn't fully prepared? When the fed moves, its going to cause a problem? A rate hike would slow economic activity down??? Look at this pathetic talk these fools yap about, this market needs a real fucking wake up call, after reading the nonsense these people speak and how they question a rate hike tells me this is market is in real trouble, i have come to the conclusion that this market is ready for a sizable collapse, do they believe that this economy can keep going on zero interest rates forever, with the "growth" this economy is showing rates should be at least 4% like I mentioned yesterday, were at 0% and they are saying a raise in interest rates is going to cause a problem? I wonder why that is, its because the market has become to dependent on this cheap money, this is the bubble right here, the longer this goes on for the bigger the collapse that comes, people are going to look back 10-15 years from now and see what fueled the next crisis and if you can't see it now than you better wake the fuck up! http://www.cnbc.com/id/102472705 The smart money thinks the Federal Reserve will finally begin to increase interest rates early this summer. The question is how much market turmoil the move will cause. Janet Yellen's Fed will finally increase the cost of borrowing money in June, according to remarks made by top BlackRock bond investor Rick Rieder and prominent hedge fund managers Jamie Dinan and Kyle Bass at a New York charity event Monday night. Bass, head of Hayman Capital Management in Dallas, said the market isn't fully prepared. "I think when she moves, it's going to cause a problem," Bass said at the Portfolios with Purpose awards night during a panel discussion moderated by CNBC's Scott Wapner. Bass said employment rates were strong but predicted a rate hike would slow economic activity if moved more than 100 basis points, or 1 percent. He noted that Hayman had "reduced risk pretty substantially" to U.S. securities in the last couple of months given that expectation. Dinan of $25 billion York Capital Management in New York agreed with Bass on the rate increase causing a problem, but said the question was whether the problems last "five weeks or five months." "At the end of the day, I think it's going to be turbulent but it's going to be healthy. In other words, we've got to stop this," Dinan said of ending the post-financial crisis period of aggressive monetary stimulus. Rieder was more sanguine. "I think markets are set up, are ready. They've been properly communicating about it," he said, BlackRock's chief investment officer of fundamental fixed income. He added that going to a 1 percent federal funds rate from around zero was hardly a drastic move, especially given that they have traditionally been around 7 percent with similar levels of unemployment around 5 or 6 percent. "It's A, not shocking, and B, certainly not anything close to anything but easy policy, it's just not emergency policy," Rieder said. On positioning, Dinan said some technology companies were overvalued but overall stocks were not wildly expensive. "I don't think it's a 'bubble' bubble," he said. But he added, "I think that some of these Nasdaq growth stock valuations are very, very, very ambitious" and predicted that some social media companies would be gone in five years. "Most stocks, most valuations are, relatively speaking, attractive in the world of this melt-up of real assets," he said (a melt-up usually refers to investors' driving up the price of a security because they don't want to miss out on gains, rather than looking at the fundamentals).

York still has more of its assets in the U.S. than anywhere else, he noted as a caveat.

yep now down less than 100, looked like the market was about to fall over 200 but nope, they saved it, notice how volatile the market is when its down, you can feel the pushing and the shoving of the ups and downs of individual stocks, but when its up its just smooth sailing like yesterday, they got it up traded sideways then last hour they jammed everything to historical highs! Should be an interesting close, if they can't get it to rally soon the last hour will be very interesting!
I can't add because I use the max leverage allowed every time. But I did try one more time, and I am up for the day now.
Not much for you guys, but I am up $925 for the day. I am thinking of just getting out and calling it a day. It has gone much lower than I thought it could. What do you think? I have a stop at breakeven right now.
