Replying to @Shyon:Hoping to buy some shares in October. Happy trading//@Shyon:In September I stayed cautious but still caught parts of the rally. The market defied seasonal weakness, and $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ and $Apple(AAPL)$ showed how fast sentiment can turn. I didn’t grab every big mover, but I did benefit from the strength, and overall I’ve managed to stay ahead of the index this year with selective entries and exits.

For October, I know it’s historically weak, but I lean a bit optimistic. With the Fed likely to cut rates and liquidity still supportive, I expect more of a “gap down, grind higher” move rather than a sharp correction. Volatility may spike early, but unless macro data disappoints, dips could still be worth buying.

Still, I’m keeping flexible. Markets have priced in plenty of good news, so I won’t chase highs blindly. My plan is to lock profits when rallies stretch and add exposure only on meaningful pullbacks. Optimistic—but disciplined—sums up my approach.

FOMC Minutes Amid Shutdown! Is Fed Ready to Go Further?
Traders await minutes of the Fed's last policy meeting later in the week, while the federal government shutdown entered its sixth day. Last month, the central bank reduced its benchmark rate by 25 bps. Powell said in September that the Fed was facing a "challenging situation", noting that near-term risks to inflation were tilted to the upside and those to employment leaning downside. Powell is scheduled to speak on Thursday. -------- Do you expect another 25 bps in October? How will market move this week? With multiple stocks surging, is market entering a stage of irrational exuberance?
