Few market analysts have a better record at forecasting Fed rate moves than Steven Poser does. In his February 2000 article for FUTURES MAGAZINE, "Know Thy Fed", Poser wrote about strategies for using the CBOT Fed funds futures to profit from Fed rate actions. In this report, Poser details exactly how to compute the odds of a rate hike (which the media consistently report incorrectly) and explodes myths on what the contract really means.
