Saved by Zero

Well, the Fed announced, and it appears we are now in a world of 0% interest rates. This is pretty exciting, because, as a bear, my big "worry point" was the EUR/USD, but it looks like it won't be terribly long before this starts to exhaust itself.

I actually clicked on CNBC to watch the announcement. I've never really watched Alan Blinder before, but he seems to have adopted every nervous twitch known to man; it's unsettling to watch. I also noticed a remarkable similarity to Alan Arkin.

I have shorted a tiny position (5 contracts) of ES at current levels, but I'm a weak hand. At the moment, the market is doing its usual post-Fed gymnastics.
