If you sat on the sidelines complaining about the insanity and overvaluation and only stuck to things that made sense, you would have been on the sidelines 98-00 and missed huge profits. The technical indicators said to get out in Jan 2000 and the bubble burst in March. Don't argue with the market, you will lose every time!

Human coping spin:
Say they raise interest rates by .25%. The market can react however it wants.
UP: We expected a .5% raise, but since it's only .25%, the market is stronger.
DOWN: That hike shouldn't have happened yet, too soon, the market will drop.
A .5% raise you say?
UP: It was already priced into the market and the prices reflect that, it is a buying opportunity.
DOWN: .5%!?!?! We expected .25%! We're all gonna die!
Sentiment matters most. I don't care what the numbers say. I don't care if they do or do not make sense. I don't care about under/over-valuations. I just want to know where the big money will flow so I can hop on my skateboard and know which car to grab.

Raising interest rates are all ways helpful to stocks!
Not to sure when the line "fed hikes are good for stocks" came about but it not the truth. Only people left in stocks are the retail folks (ma an pop). The rich and insiders are selling. Just like, get ready - 2000. Where have ya heard that before?

I would think what Tom said about surprises in job's reports would also apply here, or in any scheduled events for that matter: suprises = bad, normal = good.
My take is that if people are looking for a reason to invest in the market, they will find it, barring any outrageous adversity coming from the FOMC. Likewise, if people are looking for a reason to bail, they will find it. Human nature tends to see what it wants, regardless of the facts.
My prediction: Hey, it's spring! People should be boinking more, and therefore happy, and therefore optimistic about the market. Who knows, maybe Dr Dub might not whine so much!

Buying stocks before a FOMC meeting is all ways a smart move!

It looks as if the market is going to pullback again this morning. I have been waiting for a good sell off to start moving back into stocks. I will initiate an interfund transfer before this morning's deadline. I am moving 30% into the C fund and keeping 70% in the G fund. This will be effective 3/17/05.
I am not in a hurry to get fully invested and will play it by ear.
