The markets gapped down, although the NASDAQ side was much worse due to AAPL. We were split for a bit and then headed lower, then recovered to highs ahead of lunch and sat there until the Fed. The announcement didn’t do much initially, but then we picked up some downside speed. NASDAQ volume closed at 1.9 billion shares.

Net ticks: -42 ticks.
