I been saying for months the Fed will be punishing us for voting Trump. Watch. They will wait until Febuary and then stop the $85 Billion a month they pump into the economy. At the same time they will raise rates to begin reeling the Trillions they “Eased out” Quantitatively.

I've been thinking along similar lines. Those with their hands on the levers of financial power will make us pay for thwarting their pet monster.

Same reason other countries wanted to punish the Brits by not making unilateral deals with them just to spite them for Brexit.

I don’t think the slump will last long. I think that with the expectation of a Trump economy many will see it as a buying opportunity and the trend will reverse pretty quickly.
