Thanks, Zeev...I'm just a small frog in the big pond. Any tips for small frogs would be appreciated. My threads are on MDA.

It's a "non event" but probably a excuse to start selling off hard?

Hi Zeev: 25 basis points, 50 basis points; much ado about very little. And yes, CNBC, needing to fill air-time with as much excitement as they can generate will trot out one expert after another to present their view; will likely run a Viewer's Poll; Question: "Will the Fed raise rates by 25% or 50%?"...more nonsense. And Rick Santelli, creeping up steadily on Maria for this years "excitably breathless" award will rant on day after day. CNBC commentary cannot, has not, will not...help a trader.

Zeev, is it possible the Fed will take this opportunity to do what you suggested last year (#msg-530210 and earlier)?

Given the 3-month rally and the current bullishness, would this not be a good opportunity to slow things down a bit? The space below (for cutting) is limited and I'm of the opinion that your rationale for the positive effects of raising the rate are sound. Besides, It would leave plenty of time for a run-up before the election?
