    Is this gonna give us a nice 200-300 point rally on the Dow today?
    Or will it just be a boring, non event (flat market, no impact)

    I'm waiting for the next huge move up but looks like it'll need some 'help'

    It will either drop right away or give a head fake upward and reverse in 2 hours...
     
  3. I think we're due a big rally soon.

    The only thing that matters is the trend and S/R whether it is horizontal or diagonal

    Now form a concrete plan to trade it

    My read:
    -- The FED has limited parachutes (in lowering rates and purchasing low-risk paper), and feels it deployed these things properly to address the financial crisis.
    -- Exiting the financial crisis is important not only for price stability ("fighting inflation" on the upside) but also to assuage downside ("too-tight capital") fears.
    -- The FED has started gathering/bundling the interest rate parachute(s).
    -- The FED has previously announced its intention to gather the QE 'paper-purchase' parachute, but with no date(s).

    == Thusly:
    -- They keep an interest rate hike off the table -- prices (wholesale/retail) and wages don't uniformly support a higher rate. This is "The Economy"....
    -- "The Market" though (with a continuing collection of All-time Highs) supports the gathering/bundling-up of putting the Balance Sheet assets back into the financial markets.

    == IF THE FED DOES announce not just an intention, but a recipe (including dates and target principle amounts), the market will plunk down -- 0.00% -- 0.50% by tomorrow close.
    == IF THEY DON'T, but simply mouth more platitudes to the 'necessity of freeing policy tools for foreseeable future policy actions,' the market pops 0.5% to 0.75% tonight.

    Disclosure:
    I'm realllllly tight on top, and am sweating bullets.

  7. What happen to all the doomsdayer.. everyone is hard on for Rally's now
     
  8. I think people have finally woken up. It's taken them 10 years of relentless upside to realise , though :)

    It only took me about 5 years before I realised how this market likes to move!! lol
