It’s Fed Day, folks. One of my favorite days of the year. Some people get excited for the Super Bowl or baseball season—I get excited for the Federal Reserve's decision day.
Today, we’re diving into the love-hate relationship with the Fed—because depending on where you sit, today is either a goldmine of opportunity or a headache waiting to happen.
Plus, we’re revisiting yesterday’s trade setup—specifically, that put spread. If you feel like you missed the move, don’t chase. The market will give you opportunities—if you know where to look.
