If you had gone with your thought of "unchanged", you would have trumped both aka Jim and me in the last 20 minutes of trading. I know- I was watching. I really did want to go with Unch but wimped out. Plus, by choosing Down, I still won if it came in Unch. I'm a complete wimp. Would have been a heck of a call. I chose down because I thought the Fed minutes would not please the market and they didn't. But then the market recovered at the close. Very interesting month coming up. The fact that Sept is traditionally a boring month, could be a great contrarian indicator in these very untraditional times.
