Agree, Fed decision is largely a non-event. Added to NXTL today and some NT, holding all others. Markets can speculate on future Fed actions at leisure while awaiting the crucial national decision: whether or not there are more Homer Simpson ballots left to be "discovered."--MK--

Last time, when a neutral bias was much less likely, you "turned on a dime" when they left in the hawkish bias. Why the change? Is it that we already at 3100, the low end of the trading range? EDIT...I rarely question Alan G, but I wonder why we were no thrown more of a bone. 2.7% growth last Q, with the effects of the increases in interest rates not even fully in effect. I think that they just cannot stand 4% unemployment. They need to see people kicked out of work. This scares me a bit. Like they are looking for more than a soft landing.

I really think the mkt rallying today was based on a pipe dream that FOMC would go to neutrel which did not happen. Nas..closed with a spinning top.... it seems that nas has topped again and is heading lower. One has to look at the Q4, and with high Oil, energy, reduction ic corporate profits as we are seeing for Q3 will only get worse in Q4. ANyone that does not beleive this is in la la land.... Q2 of next year may provide a decent long entry...but short is the play through Q1 01" in my opinion.
