    I thought it would be .25 but seems like they have a backbone afterall.

  5. I just voted no change 2 seconds ago. Now I know how Goldman feels when they have the heads up. :D

    most interesting part is they cite inflation risks

    maybe my ZB will finally go down now over the next month or 2

  7. (Just for fun)... I usually layer/ladder offers at FOMC time. This time eMini's trading about 1195. I see drop to 1177 approx, and think "too much" and buy, check my position, see that I'm short E's...LOL... I had an order in to sell at 1201 that got filled, didn't even see it....made 20 points......I actually bought, and sold for a couple points to see that I was still short...then covered... oh well, better lucky than good...although I was "prepared" with the ladder.


    All the best,

    Don

    Well they did. So you have to wonder if they have something else planned. Like an AIG bailout/backstop. Mmmm:D
