I say buy puts on SPY and QQQQ but the implied volatility might be pumped up on them
If Fed cuts only 25, what is best strategy?

Depends if the market goes up or down. You are assuming it will go down. Again you are predicting like a fortune teller. Its called distorted thinking. Why cant you stay out of it for a day or two?
I know people say to react rather than predict. But when you react, you are still reacting based upon your prediction about the probabilities unfolding.
I think you need to read the statement, it's hugely important, not just assume 25 cut = this or 50 cut = that
No it's not bad. But when people say "react, don't predict" I am trying to understand the nuances of exactly what they are saying. It seems to me that reacting and predicting are more similar than the statement implies.
where is the best place to get access to the statement as fast as possible? I have interactive brokers, fidelity, and scottrade as my brokers, but I do not subscribe to any dedicated news streams.
Oh, and is there a precise time in which the statement is released? I keep hearing "afternoon", but no specific time.

In a pinch you can use CNBC as a last resort depending upon how fast you need to hear the statement. I heard cnbc has a 7 second delay in some geographical areas.
