I got lucky with a short in WM too but it's just luck. I think a 100 bps rate cut will hurt the dollar and push inflation. I am starting to worry about inflation more than the financials.

I think that the Fed meeting has a higher probability of pushing the markets higher then it does lower. Everyone is expecting 75 basis points, but there is a shot at a full 1% cut. I think this would drive the market up. Technically speaking we remain in the same trading range from last week, and until we either close under (NASDAQ) 2200 or above 2300 I don't see either side taking control of this market. Right now I am trying to decide what is the best way to play this volatility on Monday. Will we pull up back towards 2250 or what? Perhaps we will gap for an open below 2200, ohh that would be fun to see. I am 100% cash right now looking for simple day trades, excited to see what goes down. I am catiously bullish myself.

I purchased some SDD right after the BSC news (albeit QID may be the better trade ;), I'll have to keep an eye on the .VXN index, and I might go in short the Nasdaq. Admittedly I'm still somewhat bullish, but that being said, the volatality is kind of driving me crazy and making my head spin with the Ultrashorts, so I may choose less risk and go with the PSQ vs. QID. Looking for more *fun* (depending upon how you look at it!) next week.........Ray Nice job on QID.

What a disaster report Friday's trading action was. So much for the common belief that we would ride an uptrend into the Fed meeting on Tuesday Heheh, nice job covering your loss their with some good after hours trading.
