Pretty anticlimactic. Seems the market had already priced in what the Fed did. Barely any change before and after except for a brief surge.

I want to make a HUGE decision today - do I go in BIG to ride a potential run or keep assets as they are until we get another downturn...?

I am about 65% cash right now. The rest is Domestic & Int'l quality Mutual Funds.





I'd be careful. There are renewed signs of stress in the credit markets.

On the other hand, never fear. I'm sure the Fed will come up with a new solution besides TAF and TSLF. After all, there are 27 letters in the alphabet.
 
VDub Just my opinion, I am at 80% domestic equities and 20% cash right now. I would place a little more into stocks that may have a quick upside. I have a really itchy trigger finger now. The first hint of a landslide and I will be 100% cash.

AAR, HJS, FJA etc

Rally? We are still in a secular bull market. Timid yes.
 
Where do you dig up some of these investments?

Secular bull market? I guess I a technical basis you are right. Just hadn't thought of it that way.

I'm done shorting. It's getting too risky now to bet against the market. It can go either way at this point. I'm moving more into diversified buy and hold
 
Thanks. Is that a good read?

BTW, I dunno if you know about this site, A Dash of Insight, but it is free and some of the best reading I've seen:

These guys are into good solid, rigorous analysis, not hype or fear mongering.
 
F*(&*&^%^%^&*ing Yahoo Stock. Yea..I only am in for 100 shares. But this is starting to remind me of "GO" )Disney) stock of 10 years ago. I got eaten up on that one too. I should have unloaded a while back.

This is one of the funniest things I have ever read :D

Venture capitalist Todd Dagres of Spark Capital likened this approach to a crocodile's.

"Rather than try to eat its prey while it's warm and tough, (Microsoft is) dragging it down to the bottom of the river, sticking it under a rock and eating it later when it's cold and soft," he said.
