S: Re: "Hi All, Some think that Fed may not increase rates next week due to Hedge fund rumors and inverted yield curve...

If so, how the market will react?"

It will not happen. The Fed. will tighten. Hedge fund rumors are a dime a dozen. I think it is funny that these guys are already looking to the Fed. to save their butts. I guess the Fall of 1998 has given some security to some folks. Alan is not their sugar daddy until their failure affects the market.

Re: "What about Abbey Cohn's of the world. Sooner or later, they may all come out and try to turn the psychology of the market by calling it undervalued, buy, strong buy, it's cheaper now, XYZ company buying back shares, huge market in B2B, etc. It worked in the past. Why it won't now?"

AC is not the market. She was talking the market up last Fall and the market corrected in her face. She talked the market up last week and the market corrected in her face again.

Re: "Also, another force in play. Stock splits. Quite a few of them are being split in Feb."

Splits may hold up some stocks for whatever silly reason; splits will not hold up the market.

Re: "Look at the Nasdaq 100 stocks list at (scroll down the page to see the list):

Which one(s) is not late yet to short, or hold or time to buy in anticipation of wall street folks coming out and touting the stock(s) as great buy because stock has corrected x% and yada, yada...?"

Short the QQQ so as to avoid specific stock risk. Timing is up to you.
You can trade the others on the long side but you had better be a good trader to go long in a declining market. Otherwise, take the MM yield. MM yields are going up. Bank on it.
