], because the weakder dollar makes their products cheaper for overseas buyers.The gains came as the Federal Reserve began a two-day meeting on interest rates. Investors are hoping the Fed will provide a clearer indication of when it may raise rates in its statement which will be issued at the conclusion of the meeting on Wednesday around 2:15pm.
How should you be positioned?
Strategy Session with the Fast Money traders
There’s no question that the market is overbought, says Joe Terranova. But the market might not pullback. It could just sit here and consolidate. That would work off the overbought condition. And it’s a distinct possibility that the the S&P [.SPX

] is setting up for a super-spike through the end of the year to 1100.
Enjoy it while it lasts because it never does, says Guy Adami. That market wants to go higher and you can’t fight it. But it won’t last forever.
There are so many puts trading, I expect the market to move to the upside, muses Pete Najarian. There’s just so much protection in place I don’t think sellers can get any traction.

TOPPING THE TAPE: MORGAN STANLEY, GOLDMAN NEW 52-WEEK HIGHS

However, not everyone is bullish. Michael Mayo of Calyon Securities certainly doesn’t share investor enthusiasm for the space. He tells CNBC, “I didnt get the memo, I didnt get the memo saying that the credit cycle was already over.”
What’s the bank trade?
In the space I’d keep an eye on Greenhill [GHL

GOLD MAKES RUN AT NEW RECORD

] sending the price of this precious metal toward $1,020 an ounce on Tuesday as a sharp deterioration of the dollar's value triggered investment buying in gold as a currency hedge.
What’s the trade?
It seems to me that gold is having trouble going below $996 and above $1025, says Joe Terranova. Those are important reference points.
I’d forget about gold, counsels Pete Najarian. Instead I’d play metals with Freeport McMoRan [FCX

TOPPING THE TAPE: (AMAT) AS SOLAR TRADE
Shares of Applied Materials [AMAT

] closed sharply higher after the company said it plans to improve efficiency and cut the cost of producing solar panels to less than $1 per watt in three years.
The world's largest producer of chipmaking gear also said it is seeing "substantial progress in the global industrialization of the solar industry."
What’s the trade?
It seems to me the solar play is starting to grow, muses Pete Najarian. But there will be bumps along the way.
I think AMAT is a lottery ticket, says Guy Adami, but if they get things right the upside could be tremendous.
