The markets set to gap up this morning and it looks like it will wip e out all of yesterday's post-Fed selling. I'm not sure how much of this is due to Cisco's numbers (Cisco???) or just the usual "it takes a day or two to figure out what the Fed decision really means" gyrations. Whatever the reason, it looks like the S&P will test 1280 once again today.
