All Eyes on today's Announcement

Stocks were beyond volatile Tuesday. This swirling action looks to me like a bottoming process. Perhaps it will go a little lower to find a lasting capitulation point. But odds are a bounce is coming soon.

Looking ahead many investors have their alarms set to read the FOMC Meeting Announcement today @ 2pm ET. The key thing they are looking for is whether the Fed will finally get rid of the notion that rates will stay low for a "considerable time". If that language is gone, then indeed we can expect rates to rise by mid-2015.

And to that I say... HOORAY!

Yes, many other investment commentators are making a false boogeyman out of raising rates. The fact is that the move would be a strong vote of confidence in the US economy that it doesn't need training wheels much longer. Plus history shows that stocks typically keep climbing for about 2-3 years after the Fed starts raising rates.

So if stocks initially fall on the news...just laugh it off. In the days that follow, investors who know their history will bid up stocks given the strong positives implied.
Best,

Si es típico, ahora toca que intenten hacer sangre, pero si como dices lleva tanto tiempo acertando, eso no se lo quita la envidia, eso ya lo lleva acertado venga ahora lo que venga.

Yellen to Investors: Ho, Ho, Ho!

Investors were in a bullish mood from the opening bell. Which was a nice reprieve given recent weakness. The key for many surrounded what the Fed would say at their 2pm ET announcement.

As it turns out they slightly changed their language about when rates will be raised, which still looks like sometime in 2015. But what they wanted to make abundantly clear is that they will be VERY cautious before making the first move.

Investors read this to mean that the Fed will stay ultra-accommodative a while longer and see no rush in raising rates. This pushed the S&P +2% higher on the day. And finally back above 2000 after a couple sessions under this key level.

What's important is that they did acknowledge the obvious...that being steady improvements in the US economy with no real inflation concerns. And investors provided the obvious reaction to that, which was to snap up stocks once again. Especially as they were all the more attractive after this healthy 5% pullback.

Now let's see if Santa can take the baton from Yellen to deliver more gifts to investors this year. I bet he does.
