I have a question, do you know, if historically the last quarter of the year generated good fundamental reports for the u.s in general. The reason i ask is because yellen said, "if" the economy stays on course, it would be a reason to raise in December; so there is a chance that may not happen if the data isn't good , right?

correct there certainly might not be a hike if data is weak.. i think it is a serious issue/ possibility at the moment too, the past 2 months has been pretty woeful. Im not sure on quaterly data statistics but i dont think it would mean much, especially now in the new era of economics as such + technology etc.
