In my daily trawling through the market I come upon lots of tidbits of knowledge that I think are important to investors but that don’t justify a full post. I’ve decided to start compiling these notes here each day in a kind of running mini blog that I’m calling Notes You Need. This mini-blog includes items like this from today: “11:40 a.m.: The PCE Price Index, the Federal Reserve’s preferred measure of inflation rise by 0.4% in September and is now up 1.6% year over year. In August the index was ahead 1.4% year over year. The core index, which excludes food and energy, was uo 1.3% year over year. Nothing here to change the odds on the Federal Reserve raising interest rates at its December 13 meeting.”
