Federal reserve bank has just increased its bank interest rates by just .25% as predicted by many.

Many says it is just a symbolic gesture.

May be Bank of England might follow suit....

This is expected. World stock markets have taken it positively. S&P +1.45%, Nasdaq +1.5%, Nikkei +2.1%. CSE was also positive. Some of the forum members tried to spread negativity last few days but now revealed their intentions. CSE will be back on track very soon.

On the back of this Fed rate hike I am expecting another 0.25% hike on next February that will stabilize most of the world financial markets.
Hoping for a good 2016. santa

You can see it now and the full picture you can see from January because fund managers will be busy after Christmas vacations. I repeat again this is the time for the value investors to build there dream portfolios with rock bottom financial assets.
