AS I SEE IT: The market is marking time waiting for the Fed meeting next Tuesday. The trading range in the Dow was 96.98 points and the S&P traded in a 14 point range. Everyone has decided that the Fed is going to lower interest rates on Tuesday, now the only argument is by how much. How about this Oil market today? In electronic trading the Oct. Oil contract hit $80.18 a barrel.

Rosh Hashanah starts at sundown today and Yom Kippur begins at sundown a week from tomorrow. Traders over the years have wanted to sell on Yom Kippur and buy on Rosh Hashanah. There’s sure no guarantee this will work this year, but there are traders that pay attention to it. I prefer to trade with our Day Trading Strategies and let the market tell me where it’s going.

Trading was good again today in the E-mini S&P, Grains were great, and the Oil market was good too.

I HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT DAY!


Have as much fun trading as I do.
