Is that a fishing hat w/lures and hooks on it?? Did you upgrade to circle hooks?
Regrettably, I'm thinking you'll be safe. I'm guessing that 1/2 the bounce will go away on Monday.
Anyone do any profit taking today???
OK Zoltar, what about 45's threat to replace the Fed Chairman. Will that provide some Double Black Diamond skiing on the indexes tomorrow?

With Wall Street desperate for the Fed to announce emergency measures on Sunday (after disappointing last week), and ideally before the futures open, Jerome Powell did not disappoint and moments ago the Fed announced a barrage of emergency measures which included:
Welcome back ZIRP: Fed cuts rates by 100bps to 0-25bps from 1.00 -1.25bps.
Fed officially launches QE5 (no more "Non-QE" bullshit), consisting of "at least" $500BN in Treasury purchases and $200 billion in MBS.
Boosting intraday liquidity: The Fed announces Measures related to the discount window, intraday credit, bank capital and liquidity buffers, reserve requirements, and—in coordination with other central banks—the U.S. dollar liquidity swap line arrangements
Reserve requirements cut to zero: The Fed cuts reserve requirement ratios to zero percent effective on March 26.
Coordinated swap lines: The Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan, the European Central Bank, the Federal Reserve, and the Swiss National Bank announced a coordinated action to enhance the provision of liquidity via the standing U.S. dollar liquidity swap line arrangements. The pricing on the dollar liquidity swap arrangements is cut by 25 basis points, so the new rate will be the US dollar overnight index swap (OIS) rate plus 25 basis points.
Amusingly, the Fed announces that the emergency action wasn't unilateral, with Loretta J. Mester voting against the action, as she was "fully supportive of all of the actions taken to promote the smooth functioning of markets and the flow of credit to households and businesses but preferred to reduce the target range for the federal funds rate to 1/2 to 3/4 percent at this meeting."
100 BP Cut.

Dow Indicated 1,000 Lower Ahead Of Futures Open
even if futs open about 4% lower, where they go from there will depend on the Fed. If, as BofA expects, the Fed announced a Commercial Paper facility, watch out above, as futures soar limit up as the dollar funding crisis is set aside for the time being. On the other hand, if the Fed does nothing and disappoints "whisper" expectations of a late Sunday intervention, then all bets are off.
you can take out an 800 equity loan for the tool add on :)
