after fed. rate cut at end of month, will market bounce up just slighty and then continue down. Or will it go up and stay up? I dont know if I should buy puts on auto lenders now or wait till after fed acts. Opinion please.

Blogs, opinions, past recessions/ slowdowns, perspective etc.. can
all be "googled if you have the time. You will find more opinions than you can imagine by doing this and they may help you in deciding how to trade. Here are just a few for starters. Good luck.

The adage of the day: Adapt or perish.
Or "go with the flow," to put it more mildly. Don't get bogged down by preconceived notions. The market doesn't care about what you think, thank, or thunk.
Lastly, when in doubt, stay out. Better safe than sorry.

After being long on RIMM for a couple months and missing the chance to profit on the jump in their earnings....I decided to stop fighting the trend and bought a few PUTs on the QQQQ today in the morning pop.
Both RIMM and my cube PUTs were up a little today....go figure...
