He didn't mean that something is certain, as I interpret.
It smells like market will have a selloff after Fed announcement.

Joe you gotta point in your post...

An unqualified statement like mine isn't very valuable. However it was posted to an old friend who got the gist. So I accept your concern and am pleased that you find some of my posts to have quality.

IMHO.... "certainty" can be acquired and that market traders should be included. We can see this in those who take the time to post their trades over long periods of time.

Whether anyone here in cyberspace has that "certainty of ability" can only be proven by posting their trades (live or paper) for us to follow... there are some very good traders who do so...!!! I got tired of posting all mine, but I'll provide an old link for the curious.

Perhaps it's appropriate to remind everyone:

The metaphysical thought... "There is no certainty."... is a fascinating concept and can be argued from many directions.
