Tom, I think you're right. My plan is to short the market around 10, then decide whether to cover at lunch or not. I also think you're right about this:

"There will be no conventional rally into FOMC this time."

One reason i think the first half of may will be bad is the 69-71 day cycle. It has been deadly accurate for a year or more pinpointing the lows in the market.

My best guess right now for the lunch period is that we'll get a low there and bounce. Dont know how strong it will be though.. We can just stay red even with the bounce. Thanks for your thoughts on the fundamental side of the market.

Tom, nice call on the jobs. Couple that with your GDP call and it's a little creepy. Two unexpected results that you called correctly. Hedged myself with Euro futures based on your insight. Thanks.
