The Federal Reserve Cut its rates by 0.75% today. I think that we have a pretty good opportunity to go long the market today, if the S&P 500 exceeds its 30 minuite high, with a stop loss at the 30 min low. However you should do this only for a trade and if entered into the trade, please trail your stop to cut your losses and/or protect some of any profits. Exit at the close if you are not stopped out. I expect further turbulence in the markets. Unfortunately fixed income is not going to yield as much so certificates of deposit would yield much less. I normally buy my CD's from Bank Midwest, which offers a competitive yield on their 9 month certificates.
