Baby bear here. I think this is a little overblown if you ask me. .75% is still basically borrowing at zero.. lol

I would like to be a big bull, but I'll just go with the little guy. Gotta keep my streak going! Looks like popular opinion says I'm not going to.

Bear, but I don't think t will be a brutal sell off and I think we have more (small) upside next week.
However, the yield curve will now flatten. The top of the market is in for awhile, probably for this year, if this is the way the Fed is taking this forward. The market always peaks when rates are low and we are moving up, apparently. Personally, I think this is way too premature. By an English mile.

Bear. I waited all day for an opportunity to short. When we hit 1108 that made up my mind. I wasn't expecting the Fed thing, of course. Just following the trendlines.
Now, a bigger move down must be considered. The bottom trendline is at 1086 eod tomorrow.
How beautifully convenient!

Wow, do you guys do a poll every day? I think that's a good idea.

Yes and it looks like we've had our first landslide.

It takes two sides for a trade --IF everyone is a bear then what is going to happen --what everyone expects? Maybe the Road Runner will outwit Wile E. Coyote yet again and we see a bear trap set going into Monday?

i voted bullish and that is because this whole thing seems to have this calm about it compared to last night. you could feel the panic comming fromm all the sights and now the futures even seem to be improving, so the normal open down and go straight up.
i think for the poll it would be a good idea for one of the choices to be 'headfake' because sooooooooooooooo many days it does that .............
at this point there is no way i see this being down today with a 73% bearish slant counting the babies......besides i'm long.

I just remember feeling a great sense of relief the last time we expected the market to crash and it didn't, only to crash the following session.
