There it is. As was widely anticipated, the Federal Reserve cranked up its target Fed funds rate by a quarter of a point. And, as we expected, investors sold stocks on the news. They had a little more reason to do so than we or anyone else was counting on though. It looks like the FOMC -- the same people who were terrified to even talk about raising rates a year ago -- are looking to put three more rate increases in place before the end of next year. The most the majority of experts were calling for was two.


A reason to worry? We don't think so. It's apt to weigh on the minds of would-be bulls for a while, but they'll come around when they realize that even after three more rate bumps, interest rates will still be at the historically-low-end of their range. It (probably) shouldn't stifle the economy.


The trick is just waiting for everyone else to figure that out.

Good Tuesday afternoon, one and all. How was your next-to-last day before interest rates edge higher? The market was sure digging the prospect, more excited about the upside of a higher Fed Funds rate than the adverse impact it may have. That is to say, investors are expecting the economy to roar sooner than later, and it's better to nip inflation in the bud than it is to let it run rampant.


We'll look at the matter in detail below. First, I want to congratulate those of you who capitalized on my mistake from Friday and acted on the trade recommendation -- a short trade on Lifeway Foods (LWAY) -- I was trying to deliver to Under the Radar Mover subscribers. That trade's up about 9% now, which isn't bad at all for a couple of days work.


If you didn't read anything we delivered on Friday, then you have no idea what I'm talking about. Here's the Q&D catch-up.

Good morning, friends and fellow traders. As promised in Friday's newsletter, we've got a new trading idea for you today. This is what we'd call a "special situation" trade, as it takes some recognition of a couple of off-the-radar trends to fully appreciate it. There's your edge - most other traders simply aren't connecting the dots we're about to connect for you right now.


The best way to set the stage for this look is with a quick, three-question quiz:

Hello all, and welcome to the weekend.


First and foremost, some of you may have figured it out already, but the newsletter you got earlier on Friday wasn't the regular edition of the SmallCap Network newsletter. That was today's edition of the Under the Radar Movers newsletter, which was inadvertently sent to the wrong list.


As much as I'd like to say it was a technical error that caused the snafu, I can't. It was me. I used the wrong list from our back-end mailing tool. In my defense though, despite getting a flu shot just a month ago, I've managed to contract a pretty good case of the flu and my head's been more than a little fuzzy all day. Think of my ailment as your gift.

Good Friday afternoon, friends and fellow traders, and welcome to the weekend. And, we're certainly starting the weekend out on the right foot - our portfolio is up rather convincingly today, even if not every trade is chipping in.


We do have a little bit of activity to take care of today.


First, let's raise the stop-loss on the CTI Biopharma (CTIC) long trade to $0.46. We know that's not a big move, but in that CTIC is priced around $0.50, that's relatively significant. Either way, we've got a 20% gain to protect there, and we want to protect it as aggressively as possible without shortchanging ourselves. For a while it looked like the weight of the big gap-making surge was going to be a problem, but the buyers are starting to trickle back in.
