Had to keep clubbing it all day but finally got the Dow down so I could make some money on my S&P500 short hedge while my NASDAQ funds and stocks got demolished. The Fed is talking and acting more like they're getting sick of these 25 basis point rate hikes that are nothing but an all clear sign for the market to go wild. I think it won't be long that they'll pull one of their 3 stronger options out of the hat. 1)50 basis points, 2) 25 basis points between meetings or 3) increase of margin requirements. I think the margin increase may be pretty much off the table as they have to be afraid of crashing the NASDAQ even if everyone's grandfathered in. We also know they're not thrilled with the idea to begin with. Margin calls have got to be flowing in the morning given the carnage in all the hottest sectors of the NASDAQ.
