Cnn has been talking about how the candidates are talking about many subjects, but no one is speaking about the economy.

China is in the toilet, countries that rely on their chinese credit cards are going to find their credit lines frozen. This will get ugly, fed is set to hike interest rates and inflation rearing its ugly head is a natural reaction to rate hikes.

rate hike, yeah right.

What specifically leads you to believe the Fed is ready to raise rates?

and yes you are right things are going to get ugly.

There are others besides us?

Up 170% since the 2009 low. No major corrections since then. Bull markets usually last for 55-65 months. Doubtful the Fed will raise rates on Sept 16, probably Dec 16 (it it's raised at all this year). So my guess is a 10% red correction over the next 30 days.
