Janet Yellen and the Federal Open Market Committee seem to have the yips with regard to raising interest rates, much like former Los Angeles Dodgers All-Star second baseman Steve Sax did when he developed a mental block to throwing the ball to first base. The Federal Reserve's policy committee did a contorted dance to avoid raising interest rates at its September meeting and left the markets a bit confused, acting more like James Brown singing his hit song "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" in 1965.
