Will it or won't it? Will the Federal Reserve bump interest rates up by a quarter of a point when it has a chance to Wednesday afternoon? Or, will Janet Yellen and her cohorts opt to stand pat and keep rates where they are? The consensus was a 98% chance the FOMC would indeed increase the Fed funds rate by...
On Monday, our Smart Options advisory service entered into two new debit spreads… the newsletter's primary type of trade.
