I suppose part of the way to pass the time in the midst of a drifting, boring market before the FOMC later today is by guessing whether The Fed will or will not make concrete plans to taper and...

Playing the Waiting Game

We are finally seeing some legitimate concern and, at least, acknowledgment by markets that the FOMC tomorrow afternoon represents some type of risk in terms of the possibility The Fed may hint or outright focus on tapering/tightening.
