Do you have any idea? I will do the opposite of what most investors do immediately after the decision is announced..
How to make money from the Fed’s interest-rate decision?
- Thread starter Lloyd W. Coutee
- Start date
It's not a matter how "how to make money from the Fed's decision". It's more like "how to not lose money from tomorrow's FOMC trigger".
The trend is going to go where it's going to go, regardless of what the Fed does. The only people that play tomorrow are the day traders and the algos. A lot of day traders get killed because the market usually spikes in both directions after a trigger.

if you have no clue what stance to take maybe you should just stand on the side line. It will over the long-term save you a lot of money.
The thread title should be:
How to gamble my money from the Fed’s interest-rate decision?

Sell Gamma. It's priced at 27 vol.
I agree with the others. However, I will say this looks like a classic "buy the rumor, sell the news" event. Stocks have risen substantially the last 2 days, expecting the Fed to hold rates steady. I think they will, with the caveat that a Dec. hike is quite possible. From there, I'm not sure that stocks will rally. It appears they've already priced in the news.
Having said that, don't trade based on this alone. Stay out unless you really have a plan and an exit strategy.

There will be a move tomorrow...I might consider a small gamma position... Either a call cal or a fly in spx
Everyone with the courage to risk capital in the stock market is making money today. Those that wait for the FED to give them unjustified CD rates are not.
