If the Fed actually pulls the trigger, then it will be much worse than last time.

I think Yellen will bump the rate up, I also think the PPT will be at the ready to turn it green, proving it was the right thing to do.  Watch for the usual Dollar/Yen ramp the donkey hammering of VIX.

For anyone who's interested, we're running a contest to see who can guess tomorrow's close on SPX. Closest to the pin wins a one-year membership or bull session. Entries are due by today's close at:

Not sure what the number 25 has to do with this. 

Note that last time the s&p dropped about 20 points.

This time there is about a 50-point gap looming.

It's very simple: the Fed buys Futures and the underlying issues have to rearrange to match. It's the cart leading the horse.

For the last night of Hanukkah you get 100 oil contracts son, go out and wet your beak, make sure to double your money or you don't get a $2000 escort for your Bar Mitzvah. You get a $20 whore to teach you that losers get syphilis.

The only thing different this time is,  we at the Fraudurel Reserve plan to accompany our tiny rate hike by a trillion $ of new buying of SP500 futures.  

This way, we send the same message we sent when the U.S. Debt was downgraded and we ran-up the bond market,  that the market loves rate increases and credit downgrades!

and that there is nothing we can't do as long as we control the printing of the U.S. fiat dollar.  and I mean, nothing.  

The more perverse the conditions we make, the more extreme measures we have to take to prop-up the overleveraged mess we have created.  According to our models, we can keep this Hindenburg market alive at least another year.  hahaha!!!
