Enter Yellen's "regulation" term, along with a sidebar of "prudential" actions possible. These take the place of hiking interest rates, why, so new and different terms used to reach the same results don't damage the market? And just in the past few days I've heard a lot more mention on "inflation" positioning. This is all about getting the Dems reellected in a bull market in November, and pulling every tool and trick in the book to make it so. There is only so much DECEPTION possible, before reality hits, and hits hard. This rubber band is stretched so thin.

Let me interpret...

"…Some of these measures--such as requiring firms to hold larger amounts of capital (interpretation... gives banks less free money to invest in the market, causing a minor sell) , stable funding, or highly liquid assets based on use of short-term wholesale funding--would likely apply only to the largest, most complex organizations. Other measures--such as minimum margin requirements for repurchase agreements and other securities financing transactions--could, at least in principle, apply on a marketwide basis."

and this...

"…It is therefore important that we monitor the degree to which the macroprudential steps we have taken have built sufficient resilience, and that we consider the deployment of other tools (AKA more monetary magician tricks: I can't wait to hear what they call them) , including adjustments to the stance of monetary policy, as conditions change in potentially unexpected ways. (unexpected to whom, them, no way, us for sure - a Gomer Pile "surprise, surprise, surprise") "

The bottom line here is either you are in or out, bull or bear, here is no middle ground unless you simply day trade and set your stops hourly, because the Bollinger bands of this deceptive market manipulation are so tight they squeak, and are on thin ice.
