The Commodity Prices Continue to Fall.
Today, on The Bubba Show, Todd comments on the Fed’s latest non move. He feels that the Fed is not moving in the right direction, he notes that they do not run the Fed like a business and that is a problem when they are trying to run an entire economy. He mentions that he believes that the Fed is catering to the equity markets and also the big banks.Bubba comments on the Maria Bartiromo show last Thursday that he was confident that the Fed will not raise interest rates. Bubba and Maria discuss why interest rates are where they are. Bubba states that the Fed should have raised rates years ago. The problem is that the banks advertise that they will lend money but the truth of the matter is they will only lend to people that don‘t need the money.
Bubba introduces Mike McGlone from ETF securities. Mike comments that the Fed didn’t tighten because there is no reason to take rates higher. The U.S has no threat of inflation; in fact the real threat is deflation. Commodity prices are in their biggest losing streak in forty years and that is not when you want to raise rates. Mike notes that the S & P 500 made a head fake to the upside and then sold off, he is bearish.
Bubba asks Mike if he can see a QE IV on the horizon. He comments that he hopes the Fed doesn’t go there. He feels the best way to end this is to allow equities to seek their own level. Mike feels that the Fed needs to stop tampering. If the S &P finds equilibrium in the 1500 area then that is where they need to let it go. He believes the tampering has gone on long enough.
