\\n\\t* Given this slowdown, could we possibly have a rate hike?
\\n\\t* The stock market has had 6 consecutive down days
\\n\\t* The stocks with no earnings are doing the best
\\n\\t* Very reminiscent of the dot com era
\\n\\t* The "story stocks" are selling in 2015
\\n\\t* Companies that actually have earnings are experiencing the greatest pressure on their share price
\\n\\t* Every time we have a dip in the stock market, the Fed always comes to the rescue
\\n\\t* Why wait until the economy is slowing down to raise rates?
\\n\\t* They can\'t do that this time, unless they want to abandon their rate hike rhetoric

\\n\\t* The data has been bad for quite a while
