***IS A 50 BASIS POINT RATE HIKE COMING???***

***IS A 50 BPS RATE HIKE COMING???

A sudden thought occurred to me, I've decided to see all the messages where I've began introducing myself and anyone who listens to me the possibility that a 50 basis point rate hike is coming... well I first mentioned that possibility back on August 31st in #msg-7566064

I took a break from the "hype" of that happening through the month of September, but since October 12th, I've mentioned it several times, I've convinced myself that a 50 bps rate hike is almost imminent, here are all the messages in which I've mentioned it and their corresponding dates in order from first to last, I've also taken the specific quotes out of those posts and put them below:
