Fed cut of 1/4 point disappoints

Posted Tuesday, December 11th, 2007 at 11:55 am · 1 Comment · By: messels

just minutes after the fed announcement of a 1/4 point reduction in short-term interest rates, the market crumbles.

looks like there was a full 1/2 priced in more than i realized. Hedges are already kicking into the Green. I’m still very bearish on the financial sector, etfc’s recent downgrade by S&P to ‘Sell’ and WaMu’s layoff, dividend reduction, and operating arm closures really affirms this.

right now: shorting financials (via SKF), puts on ETFC & BIDU

Panic Button

did someone hit the panic button?
