Defenders of the status quo are always stronger than reformers seeking change, 
UNTIL the status quo self-destructs from its own corruption, and the reformers are free to build on its ashes.

Surprisingly a bit more relevant here, there are not much melt-up calls either...

I don't think so, I think Airedale was also looking for longs at those levels. I actually went long from much lower and sold on the Fed day. I switched long on the utilities and energy issues after the Fed announcement and sold short the RUT, NDX, the housing for the hedge and did very well. I posted it right after the announcement here. I accumulated shorts over the past few days and I believe I will get a chance to exit them for a profit even if the trend continues higher a bit more in April. I still believe that if this rally continues, the energy and utilities will outperform until it breaks. Why? You can not expect the speculative growth issues to outperform on a slowing economy without the financials rallying first, imho...
