2008 Economic Predictions: By Other People

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

I’m so pumped to be working at Deloitte, here take a look at their 2008 Economic Predictions.  It was published in January, but the year’s not over, even if everything is coming true already – it’s still cool.  I’m going to be working right along similar teams working on similar stuff.   Also, I guess this is worth sharing in the same post, I picked up this months ago: 10 2008 Pridiction.

3/4 point cut – Intraday Reflections

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

I couldn’t not watch the action today.  I swear I’m taking the next few days off from the markets – it has been intense.  I need to catch my breath and it’s only Tuesday.

I got out of SSO for a nice quick buck, shortly after the open today, I didn’t think we’d see any higher levels after the FED.  I really felt, so did dogwood, that the market was going to sell off if we didn’t see the full point.  I tweeted, the markets had an 84% chance of a full basis point cut.  Markets were violent, but  bounced back to the previous highs for the day – so I guess our logic was off.  Live and learn.

Don’t get me wrong, soon I’m going to go long SSO, for the long haul.  First little sign of real strength.  Could be soon.  Could me months.
