    i heard someone say before that what we are seeing in bonds and gold right now is just the start, they think they will do what oil did in 2014. whether it happens or not, this is still some food for thought.

    Interesting stats. If we don't get a surprise by the FED tomorrow, I would say we are likely to break that record

    yo @Ken34 how's this for a flash back down memory lane ... do you remember when i had whipped up a comparison chart of the spx on the old hsm boards during the height of 2015 correction? and i was comparing the chart with the 2011 spx chart and seeing the similarities between the 2015 and 2011 correction, and we were wondering if the same outcome (higher prices) would end up playing out in the end?

    whelp, it's been about a year now since that time ... check it out man (albeit this not nearly as clean of a pattern as i would have liked, but you can somewhat see the similarities between the 2...)

    [​IMG]

    and we all remember what happened the year after (2013 was a monster year for the spx)-

    [​IMG]

    i'm not saying we're about to see the same exact outcome play out here once again ... but i am just keeping this in the back of my mind

    Oddly enough I wish we were up right now. I feel like the market is going to go the opposite way once the announcement is made.

    This divergence today is throwing me off. Almost flat or up in some, but the RUT is down 10.

    Yeah I'm seeing if we go up after the announcement. Then everyone will be like BTFD, hike was priced in.

    Might be a good time to short then.

    I'll be in a meeting the rest of the day, so I'm just watching.

    The market might be somewhat spooked by the more hawkish dot plot from the FED
