\n\t* It wasn't a Black Monday of the 1987 variety, but it was one for the record books
\n\t* The Dow was down opened downjust over 1,000 points - the biggest intra-day point drop ever
\n\t* When the market opened down that low, bargain hunters came in for a spectacular rally
\n\t* Bringing the Dow almost back into positive territory before surrendering those gains and ending the day down 588 points, another 3.5% drop, closing at 15,871
\n\t* Taking out the 16,000 handle just a few days after taking out the 17,000 handle
\n\t* All of these drops are being blamed by the media on China
\n\t* The Dow Jones is down about 11% year to date
\n\t* After today's drop, the Chinese market was down less than 1%
\n\t* This is not all about falling Chinese stocks
\n\t* It's the Fed - Everybody believes the Fed is going to end the party
\n\t* As we got closer to September, the stock market was already going down
\n\t* I've said all along that the Fed was bluffing - it is a game of chicken
\n\t* Finally, today, Barclay's is predicting a Fed rate hike in March of 2016
\n\t* I think the Fed will launch QE4 before we get to a rate hike in March 2016, which is an election year
\n\t* The media wants to blame the correction on China, as if there are no domestic problems to worry about
\n\t* China should be blaming it on us - we're the ones who got the world hooked on zero percent interest rates
\n\t* The fantasy was that we could raise rates without an impact on the economy
\n\t* The falling stock market is going to have an impact on the real economy
\n\t* The economy is weak and getting weaker
\n\t* This correction will turn into a full-fledged bear market unless we get some official statement from the Fed that they will not raise rates
\n\t* That may come later this week in Jackson Hole
\n\t* I am going to be in Jackson Hole at an anti-Fed conference
\n\t* Here's an example of how ridiculous the "Blame China" rhetoric is:
\n\t* Maria Bartoromo was talking about the market decline with respect to the China currency devaluation
\n\t* She actually said that by devaluing the Yuan, Chinese made products will be more competitive against American-made products
\n\t* America does not produce products that compete with Chinese products!
\n\t* She's grasping at straws to connect the stock market correction with the Chinese Yuan devaluation
\n\t* Right now it is positive for America if we can purchase Chinese products more cheaply because we're buying them anyway
\n\t* Eventually, however, Chinese products will get more expensive when the yuan goes up
\n\t* She's just trying to fit the narrative because that's what makes everybody feel comfortable
\n\t* That's why I am not on CNBC and CNN - they realize my comments do not support their editorial policy
\n\t* I am not talking about Armageddon for the markets - I am talking about the Fed saving the day
\n\t* I don't think the market is going to crash, but I believe it will go down until the Fed cries "Uncle" and prop up the equities markets with another round of QE
\n\t* The Federal Reserve did not solve our problems in 2008 - they interrupted the crisis with QE and zero percent interest rates
\n\t* That crisis would have solved the problem but we kicked the can down the road and we finally caught up to that can
\n\t* We are resuming the financial crisis that the Fed interrupted from a much deeper hole
\n\t* Had the Fed raised rates two years ago, we would have been in recession sooner
\n\t* They should have allowed the markets to solve the problems they caused
\n\t* Now we have more debt than ever before
\n\t* I have also been talking about the developments in the foreign exchange markets
\n\t* The dollar has been strong because rate hikes were expected
\n\t* The strong dollar has weakened commodities,\n\nOur Sponsors:\n* Check out Ethos: ethoslife.com/GOLD \n\nPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
