My Best Guess for the Fed...., They'll hammer it with +0.50 and a bias to tightening further....and the SPX will see 1300 and close the Gap on the spoos. Market should retest 1405spx towards the close with Players taking long positions on 0.25 increase consensus. I feel they'll get nailed, taking a short position at 1415es00h would be great play for Risk Happy Rewards. <<smile>> Chip
