With its FOMC statement, the Fed provided the market with what it wanted to hear. They removed the ‘patience’ phrase as expected, but replaced it with a similar assurance that there is no set timetable for rate hikes, that it will continue to be in no hurry. “The Committee anticipates that it ...

The housing industry seems to have slipped under the radar of investor concerns in the fog created by the Fed’s ‘patient’ intentions, the EU’s intentions regarding Greece, the disappearance of inflation, the soaring strength of the dollar, plunging oil, and so on. Yet, as I have noted often...
