200 drop in DOW just started. Time 11:30AM ET
I am already short some specific stocks and long TZA. 200 drop in DOW was just a prediction and I did not trade based specifically on that prediction. If market drops , that will help my portfolio though.Did you manage to get a good price?
LAST RATE HIKE 2006
ALMOST A DECADE AGO WAS THE last time the fed raised rates......think about that....everyone claims the US has the strongest economy in the world yet rates are sitting at 0%......that's how pathetic this market is....there wont be a rate hike in 2015 ..once the market starts to fall that will be their juice to psychology trick the markets since so many anticipate a rate hike in September and December ..once they push those hikes out to 2016 the market will once again feel relieved ...and the fed will have once saved the market again...
I sense they won't raise today.
It's amazing how much bellyaching you do about something that is wonderful to have. Low interest rates are great. And equity markets have been anything but "pathetic" since 2009. To call markets "pathetic" is truly delusional, but we've come to expect this kind of backwards thinking from you. Anything that appreciates in value over time is a bubble to you, and upsets you greatly.
