Comments:

Peter Boockvar, Chief Market Analyst, The Lindsey Group:

2018 will bring the real test of the Fed's grand experiment as they
will be both hiking rates and shrinking their balance sheet in concert.
If they do this smoothly, I will admit I was wrong about what they've
done over the past 10 yrs. I don't expect to be wrong though.

Kathy Bostjancic, Head of U.S. Macro Investor Services,

Oxford Economics USA: Recent data continue to keep them on
track for a 25 basis point tightening next week, followed by another
three hikes next year. The Fed is placing more emphasis on
tightening resource utilization than inflation. Further tightening in the
product and labor market utilization rates outweighs concerns about
sub-2% inflation.

John Donaldson, Director of Fixed Income, Haverford Trust

Co.: This should be the easiest FOMC meeting as we say goodbye to
Yellen and hello to Powell with a rate hike and a reaffirmation of the
plan to unwind the balance sheet. No surprises, no drama. At some
point, Powell will look back and wonder why all the meetings couldn't
have been just like the first.

Bill Dunkelberg, Chief Economist, National Federation of

Independent Business: The Fed is supposed to be "independent"
of politics. But can this be the case when virtually all governors are
appointed by one president? If they all share the same "philosophy"
as the president that appointed them, no political discussion is
needed, they are already on the same "political" page (inflation,
interest rate, distribution of income and wealth etc. views).

One governor recently made a financial contribution to a presidential

candidate during the presidential campaign. Sure everyone has
"their own views" but it is bad taste for a "politically neutral
independent" person to publicly express their views. This
undermines the belief that we want to hold that policy is set for the
good of the country, regardless of politics. We need people with
practical experience, not academics like me.

Neil Dutta, Head of Economic Research, Renaissance Macro

Research: The last time US growth was this strong it was short-
circuited by a rout in the commodity market and weakness in the
global economy. What is going to slow the economy down this time?
It is not immediately clear. US growth is likely to be strong in 2018.

Mark Elenowitz, CEO, TriPoint Global Equities: For the past

several years I have been advocating for capital formation and relief
for small business and Main Street. The proposed tax changes may
seem to hamper the middle class, however with a bit of patience I
believe the benefits to the economy and allowing the US corporate
tax to be competitive to offshore jurisdictions will have a strong
impact on GDP, consumer confidence and allow all brackets to
prosper and most importantly small business.

Kevin Giddis, Head of Fixed Income Capital Markets, Raymond

James Financial: The Fed's desire to raise interest rates absent
inflation is risky, but they could be bailed out by real tax reform. If
not, rates could be headed lower next year.

Stuart Hoffman, Senior Economic Advisor, PNC Financial: Fed

rate hikes not likely to be accelerated in 2018 because of passage of
a tax cut. Fed balance sheet shrinkage at the same time as the
Treasury deficit grows in 2018-2019 will help prevent an inversion of
the Treasury yield curve.

Art Hogan, Chief Market Strategist, B. Riley FBR: The "financial

condition" that the Fed will be focused on when assessing the risks
to policy in 2018 will shift much more to the flattening yield curve
verses their obsession to market reactions. They will not want a
policy misstep that inverts the curve.

Constance Hunter, Chief Economist, KPMG LLP: The next 9-16

months are likely to be some of the strongest in this cycle. But that
does not mean the cycle will go on forever. It is likely that labor
shortages will hamper the pace of expansion the longer it lasts. The
real question is if we will finally see some more elevated wage
inflation and this will be the key determinant of the pace of Fed rate
hikes in 2018.

John Kattar, Chief Investment Officer, Ardent Asset

Management: The Fed is in tightening mode on both rates and
balance sheet, but the changes are slow and easily handled by the
economy and markets. In the current circumstances, this seems like
the most sensible course. Kudos to Yellen on her way out the door.
I'll admit to being surprised, but she has proven to be a very capable
Fed Chair.

Jack Kleinhenz, Chief Economist, National Retail Federation:

It appears that both business and consumer sectors are fueling
economic growth. While there is room for the economy to grow and
it is healthy, it is expected to stay at a steady speed.

David Kotok, Chairman and Chief Investment Officer,

Cumberland Advisors: Huge regime change in tax, monetary,
trade is underway; that makes forecasting very prone to large error
terms.

Donald Luskin, Chief Investment Officer, Trend Macrolytics:

Can we please stop talking about bitcoin?

Drew T. Matus, Chief Market Strategist, MetLife Investment

Management: The key to timing the economic cycle is productivity.
Recent signs point toward productivity moving higher, a
development that would allow firms to pay more and to maintain
margins, boosting consumption and allowing the expansion to
continue.

Rob Morgan, Chief Investment Officer, Sethi: Low inflation will

continue to perplex the Fed, but the rate hike campaign will continue
in December and beyond because the Fed realizes that the greater
threat is the Fed not having enough ammunition - in the form of
higher rates - to combat the next economic downturn.

Joel Naroff, President, Naroff Economic Advisors: The sugar

high from tax cuts may make 2018 look good but it will likely hasten
the onset of the next recession.

Lynn Reaser, Chief Economist, Point Loma Nazarene

University: The Fed's major choice in 2018 will be to accommodate
faster growth driven by the supply side or to curb rising bubbles in
asset markets.

John Roberts, Director of Research, Hilliard Lyons: We remain

cautious on current domestic equity valuations even though we see
very few areas that look cheap, and see a speculative quality to
assets overall at this point (see Bitcoin...). We continue to believe
that there are pockets of value in international equities, especially
EM and selective domestic sectors.

John Ryding, Chief Economist, RDQ Economics: The jewel in the

crown of the tax plan is the cut in corporate tax rates. The impact of
lower taxes on capital spending, productivity growth, and potential
growth is being underestimated by the JCT models.

Allen Sinai, Chief Global Economist and Strategist, Decision

Economics: A "New" new normal of 3% growth is the bottom line.

Hank Smith, Co-Chief Investment Officer, Haverford Trust

Company: The ingredients for the bull market to continue remain
firmly in place: growing economy, growing profits, benign inflation,
low interest rates.

Mark Vitner, Managing Director & Senior Economist, Wells

Fargo Securities: This looks like a smooth transition for the Fed but
I am a little concerned by the disconnect between the stock market,
which is going full speed ahead, and bond market, which seems to
see rougher seas ahead.

Scott Wren, Senior Global Equity Strategist, Wells Fargo

Investment Institute: US stock valuations are getting frothy here
unless you assume margins will expand meaningfully in the coming
two years and earnings growth will accelerate meaningfully from
here in 2018/19 (this is in addition to any tax reform). Both seem
unlikely in our opinion.

Tax cuts will benefit small-cap US stocks more than large caps. In
terms of individual tax cuts, if the top 10% of wage earners who pay
70% to 80% of all federal income taxes and are responsible for
70%+ of all discretionary spending do not get a tax cut, how is the
overall economy going to benefit by a noticeable amount? Individual
tax "reform" doesn't appear likely to truly drive the economy
forward.
