I've never understood why traders avoid options expiration days and rebalancing days and things like that. Volatility is what the trader feeds on. However, in my 8 years of trading I have never had much success of Fed days. Sure they're volatile, but it's the kind of volatility that seems to kill me. Anyway, I digress... I'll put more of that in my daily post later which, for the record, will be late today. I apologize, but until you people start to pay me you have to live by my schedule...

So it was a Fed day. And Uncle Ben did a decent job of calming people down about the mess that has been the market recently. However, I have to say I expected the market to really sell off. Why? Because they said they're still more worried about inflation than they are about economic growth stagnating. But who knows... this market is freaky.

Anyway, you'll be happy to know that your favorite blog (btw, you can "fave" me by clicking that green technorati button up at the tippy-top of the blog) finally made a list of "Top Daytrading Blogs." Ahem... #62.

I mean, it's not like being bought out by CBS for $5 million, but it's a start.
