If we are not in a FED induced bubble, why does the market react so much to potential tiny rate hikes?

Everybody on TV, every single person, is selling something. They're about as objective as msnbc or fox news.

I think it's obvious we are in a bubble in the equity markets. The latest proof of that happened this morning, when futures sold off as soon as a weak ADP number hit. That "bad news=good news" deal has been rolling for awhile.

The economy doesn't justify where our stock market is. It'll shake itself out.

I just feel sorry for the CNBC fools who have to pretend all is well. For instance 80% of companies are reporting a y/y decline in revenue. They talk of expectations.

But, but, but, 70'ish% of companies have beaten their eps! Of course, they had to guide down repeatedly through the quarter, but they still beat that last guidance! Buy stawks!!

It's gotten to where I feel like I get more truthful reporting from freakin zerohedge than I do from the msm.

they have to talk about expectations because the real data is weak. So we just keep on whistling past the graveyard.
