Today's Comments (Short Term Outlook)
Just a quick update today. 

The Fed raised rates by 1/4%.  The market ended the day up.  I noticed that the day after a Fed interest rate change, the market tends to go in the other direction of the "after Fed announcement" move.  That would mean a down today but that observation isn't worth much.  A modest drop today wouldn't be the worst thing in the world after a 30 point rally in the S&P.  The nervous investors seem to be expecting a pullback.  The market tends to do the opposite of what everyone expects.  Bottom line:  Who knows what will happen today?  The market seems to want to go up for now.  Let's let it.  Even if it pauses today. 

That's all for today.  Currently 40% C, 30% S and 30% I fund.  See you tomorrow.
