Market Commentary (Neil Trenerry):
Market Commentary (Dan Rawitch)
Buy the rumor, sell the news...this is in part what happened yesterday. Add to that the fact that the Fed completely stated the obvious, but in doing so, he made us all wonder if thousands of baby boomer retire from the job market everyday...just how quickly will we hit 6.5% unemployment. I'd say, we hit it quickly and the economy will stink worst than today. Now that the fed spoke...he may feel compelled to hold that promise. So, we hit 6.5%, the economy is weak and he may still raise rates.
Can you imagine the panic selling that could occur when unemployment hits 6.75%? C'mon! The market will not wait for that point....many will exit now, in my opinion.
Having said that, I remain long term bullish...the fed just made the need for crack much greater.
