Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

i think a rate hike has been fully discounted now...there might be a sell off if they DON'T hike in Sept.

I guess what I was referring to was the widely held belief that if the Fed lifted, equities would get hit (except we never really saw this priced in going into August or even July). Then the markets sold off and all the talk came about with "the Fed probably won't raise" and now more recently "the Fed might still raise."

So given that the Fed raising was widely believe to negatively affect equities and the markets recent selling off for other reasons - in what scenario would the Fed's future actions result in the market rallying upward?

• Here you go bulls, something to ease the pain....this guy says 2100! on the s$p by years end.... He's an "EXPERT" so you know he is paid the big money to predict only bull markets. I bet jeff carbone was just as wildly bullish at dow 18,000+.....

  The market's wild ride will likely continue, but stocks will ultimately end higher for the year, financial pro Jeff Carbone says.

They never show a pic that a floor trader is happy when market goes down. It seems that they never short. Always long !!!

Every financial news outlet is broadcasting...Jobs data critical to fed rate decision. Well gee no shit. If that's the case expect a cool jobs report, im now thinking 150,00 maybe less, this will give them cover to keep rates low.

And if by chance its 200k plus, what will there excuse be....Come on fellow traders, lets think this thru, what will it be????

I can guess the job numbers will be well outside what they are looking for by at least 50,000...

there looking for about 220,000-230,000 new jobs.....

Im think job numbers come in well below, markets should rally on this news, its funny how data dependent the fed has been yet they haven't moved rates in over a decade so that whole talk about them being data dependent is all worthless dribble, its useless. What they really should tell wallstreet is that they don't have ANY EXIT PLAN!!!!
