  So the market likes rates being lowered and being raised?
  
  If this is true, all the Fed has to do is constantly adjust rates and the market will go to infinity.

  "The Fed has a pretty good picture of the economy, and can usually see around the corner."
  
  Yeah, their track record is impeccable isn't it? What a load of Fed cheerleading that is. Hogan's constant appearances on CNBC should be enough of a clue for you.

  Just like the market plunged last year on interest rate cuts. Eventually the rate increases will impact the economy, but with the economy turning it'll be a long time before interest rate increases have an impact. Changing the fed funds rate to .5% can hardly be seen as bearish.

  What point is Mr. Hogan driving at? That the Fed should raise rates just to psych out the market?

  Dont bet on it, IMO at the slightest hint that the Fed may tighten will be the proverbial "straw breaking the Camels back", and thats because everyone will not to be the one left holding the bag the resulting rush to sell will be a selling Tsunami.
