A rate increase from 1.50% to 1.75% is 94.4% expected according to the CME FedWatch tool, Previously both the USD and SPX has shown two way volatility. This will be Jay Powell’s first FOMC meeting and the first where he will raise rates. This is almost a certainty (94% discounted).

I think I'm #*'d. None of my blue chip stocks are going up.
Powell is expected to do 2 more hikes this year.
I'm finished. SMH. 😞

Humpty Dumpty? U mean Janet Yellen?
Yellen's/Fed low int' rate policies are responsible for the biggest bull market in history.
I wonder who they're gonna blame for the biggest stock crash?

yes karen, i was not a fan of yellen. she was part of the crowd that now makes political stances even though they are in unbiased positions. one of the biggest flash crashes we had was when she said for no reason "stocks are overvalued" on her way out. in any case, think about this...remember the 2008 crash and the timing of it. we could have crashed after the presidential election of 2008 but we didnt. was that just circumstance? we have mid-terms in 7 months. i would argue, not a time to go long and hold. the 2008 crash was exactly 2 months before the election. the market makers might give this one 3 or 4 months notice. just a guess.
