US futures are trading in the red, signaling more volatility for the US stock markets when they open on Monday

Dow futures are down 177 points, S&P futures are down 22 points, and Nasdaq futures are down 46 points.

This follows what's being interpreted as hawkish comments from Stanley Fischer, Vice Chairman of the Federal Reserve.

"Given the apparent stability of inflation expectations, there is good reason to believe that inflation will move higher as the forces holding down inflation dissipate further," Fischer said on Saturday during a panel at the Kansas City Fed's Economic Symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

You gotta love the tortuous financial-speak they always employ. Just come out and say it, we're raising the rates.

Jackson Hole; confidence wanes in their ability to control money if that’s their choice of a meeting place.

The Chinese economy must be like Chinese food. After you stuff it filled with debt, it just gets hungry again later.

A hole might be a good place to take cover until the dust settles.

cool after this all started to unwind, i did some fake trades just to get my mind back in the game. So i sold strike 860 oex puts and calls on 8/26. i was hoping nothing much would happen and the calls would go to zero. I don’t even know the actual contract because as i said these were just fake. i might want to get back in given the volatility.

I haven’t heard or seen where all of the recent recovery money came from, have you?

At least China admitted to attempting to prop up their market.

When it’s done here, under THIS regime, we don’t even get to sniff it first, never mind drink it!

Very good question. Wherever it comes from it comes back some, but not as much as it fell. That is something to note there.

For chuckles, if so inclined, try this...

As a situation arises about money and government have the other person
WRITE out 8 trillion dollars... starting with 100’s, 1000’s, 10,000’s, 100,000’s, etc.

Don’t let them skip any steps, (tell ‘em it’s common core stuff, gotta show yur work, just like yur kids do), must be written out.

For additional fun, ask them to name the denominations as they go.

“Hope it’s not as bad as last Monday opening.”

I made a killing last Monday on a trade. This just reminds me to set my buy limit order lower.

If interest rates are going up, what will be the high yield stuff to invest in?

But...but...but...green shoots. Summer of recovery.

Bush’s fault.

Blame ATMs.

The weather did it.

If the Fed raises rates now it will kick us deeper into recession

I have been waiting for someone to say that. Just like the early Reagan years.

Not to mention a house built on the sinking sand of UNBACKED FIAT CURRENCY constantly manipulated by the elites to herd the unwashed masses into their New World Order corral!

Move along little doggies, move along...Yeehaaa!
