Seemingly echoing Fed's Williams earlier hawkish comments, Atlanta Fed's Lockhart notes that full employment is "getting closert and closer," and warns that "rate hikes are justified in 2016, possibly soon,"
- *LOCKHART SAYS RATE HIKE JUSTIFIED AS EARLY AS APRIL FOMC
It is clear the messagge that is being sent – don't keep buying stocks in anticipation of our 'put' (but don't sell 'em below 2000 either).
Or is it a desperate attempt to reclaim some lost credibility?
So less than a week after what Gundlach calls a “Dovefest” Lockhart unleashes this complete bullshit…

The big question is – given these comments – why did they choose not to dissent last week? Too lazy, too ignorant, or too herd-like?
And why did they come out today after an abysmal housing print with such 'positive' commentary?
