If I understand you right, you're calling the top of the bottom?

When you get to the bottom you go back to the top. And then you start agsin.

"And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels?
Is it cloudy, is it bright?
Is it day or is it night?
Am I wrong or am I right?
And is it real?"

"From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
But why should I care?"

75 basis point increase to the fed funds rate and the stock market goes up by 2.5% and the bond market (or at least BND) goes up by 1%.... makes sense.

That particular top has been in since roughly 5000 BC.

If the market could be predicted that easily, I'd be much, much richer.

I think the leading theory is that there is a little more certainty now. As in, "Whew! The Fed has our back."

More likely, PPI fell as reported a couple of days ago, for the 2nd month in a row. PPI usually predicts CPI a couple months in advance. The market is thinking the PPI top is in.

Interestingly, the bitcoin price bumped up a smidge just following the fed announcement (to the hour). Not sure if this is just noise, or that crypto isn't actually decoupled from regulated currencies. Still not sure that crypto has found it's bottom though. As of today, the top is still in!

I mean the market dumped like 4% recently right?  Maybe a 1% increase was being priced in?

Everybody's favorite CNBC punching bag, Jim Kramer, actually predicted this response to a 75 bp hike.  He said it would be a relief.

But careful observers will note first the market dropped significantly, then had a one day relief rally, and now fell back down.  The market knows the top is in.

My 401k makes VTSAX purchases on the 1st and 15th of every month.  I notice the market seems to rally these 2 days and then drop back down.  I've noticed it even during giant dips like now. What's up with that?

Not true. The NYSE was closed for 11 days in 1933 and six days in 2001. Meanwhile the Russian stock markets were closed for 75 years.

I'd bet a wooden nickel that someone, somewhere was still selling stonks.

Too many people doing the same thing, try changing you purchasing dates to the 3nd and the 17th. 

P.S. The top is in!

The first GOAT MOAT was a classic. This sequel is just a money grab. It doesn’t have the style of the original.

Just wait until they come out with the GOAT MOAT Prequels.  Hard to believe they can pull off the CGI de-aging of The Top convincingly

It would be pretty disappointing to be on the cusp of saving the world from over-consumption and climate change as people adopt our values, only for a particularly dirty telephone to result in several billion deaths.

Even without the giant mutant star goat or the dearth of telephone sanitizers we are near the population top.

I think overprotective parents would spoil most of that effect, aka "bulldozer parents" that don't even allow their children to make mistakes.

My wife and I were shopping for a tween birthday party, and found ourselves in the lego section at a local store. I don't really keep track of the Marvel movies, but there's a lego set about Thor that is basically called the GOAT BOAT.

I so wish some of this crew could have been there, it'd fit right in.

We did not buy it, in keeping with Mustachian Values.
