Maybe, it's just me. Or maybe there are others that find themselves inclined to simply stand aside and watch the nuttiness from the sidelines on "Fed Days." But in any event, the volatility after a Fed announcement, while fun to watch, may not be telling as to what to expect in the future.[More...]

The bonus will be made available for 79 eligible employees -- those who can fully retire under the Virginia Retirement System by June 30 and who have worked as full-time employees in the division for at least 10 consecutive years.
