FedFunds futures contract has 100% probability of 1/4 pt hike

Greenspoon likes the orderly nature of 1/4 pt hikes
it avoids chaos and disruption, which he has promised
expecting no change in his bias posture (not explicitly stated no more)

inflation is a major problem only if you smoke cigarettes, drive a truck and are unable to pass along costs... I am concerned that widespread rise in transportation costs will affect non-technology industry sectors... so this rate hike plus energy higher costs will hurt old economy doubly... eventually it will filter to tech sector fundamentals

we have clear sailing until next FOMC on May 16th

Gspoon is way off on propensity for individuals to spend 401k funds, other retirement funds, and life savings

I seriously doubt a 1/4 pt hike will stop Naz this time either
one more and we have a 20-25% NazComp correction in August

CreamStrummer, you got a solid pinhead on those shoulders
