AS I SEE IT: The market sold off a little on the open this morning, then traded sideways for a couple hours. It rallied a little into the Fed Announcement only to be disappointed by the ¼ point interest rate cut and the ¼ point discount rate cut. Because of the belief that there would be larger cuts many traders reversed and sold the market causing this large sell-off. Tomorrow we’ll see if this sell-off is over done or if there is more selling to come. I do believe there will be more large range days before the year end.
I HOPE YOU HAD A PROFITABLE TRADING DAY TODAY!
