Rate hike: what the FED should do with the rate?

So far they've been able to verbally orchestrate the market with "hints" of interest rate increases when the S&P is near all time highs and then they flip the script when it's weak. They are simply buying time (along with Draghi and Abe).
 
Chances of a rate hike in December are less than zero percent. The Fed has no cajones, it is Christmas time, and they are incompetent.
 
They should have raised rates, like, 4eva ago. What happens as a consequence of 15 years of folly is anybody's guess and unpredictable, but do not let anybody fool you, it is not any more unpredictable than any other time. In that respect it's just another year / Happy trading
 
Word has it in the next "crisis" (like when they raise rates and the Dow plunges 5000 pts), the Fed is going from ZIRP to NIRP (Negative interest rate policy).
So ZIRP will go away and then we'll have NIRP.
Slick, eh ? What a creative bunch at the Fed.

Right, the trial balloon was released with those remarks by Kocherlakota in September...At the time, it was dismissed as off comments by one of the uber-dove's...Now, it makes the rounds more frequently and is hinted at as a more realistic possibility..."Emergency measures" that have lasted 7 years and now it's moving towards negative rates.
 
The Fed is a complete and total joke. NO financial metrics have changed for the better since October (when they delayed) with the sole exception that the stock market is higher. It's clear that's the only metric they really consider.
