About market, TAPE was under mild selling due to Fed minutes which was very hawkish. When Fed is that clear on its future interest rate policies, it is never good for equities. In a way I am a bit surprised that we did not close @ low of the day and were not down more than .36%, that gives me hope for Thursday's close, which may be positive.

Hi Saleem,

Fed decision is surely a surprise to many & markets have ignored them today but I think sellers would jump tomorrow & it’s a hard battle for buyers to beat them but I hope your thesis is correct & close positive.

Hi Stocktrader,

Good luck with CAT puts. Unfortunately I haven’t gotten to see Fed action until close. I would surely closed some calls & gotten some protection with puts
