Despite what you may have thought Wall Street is not waiting patiently for the Fed's announcement

on interest rates, Motley Fool Money starts now.

I'm Chris Hill joining me today, Motley Fool, Senior Analyst Bill Mann.

Thanks for being here.

Hey Chris, how you doing?

You know, I'm an investor.

That's how I'm doing, Bill.

I'm an investor in a stock market where we are just tiny boats in an enormous sea that

at the moment is being controlled by the Federal Reserve.

Are you making a tiny bowl reference?

Is that a tiny bowl reference?

You remember the guy in the little boat and he would sit literally in a toilet?

Yeah, I think there's a reason they don't do those commercials anymore.

Yeah, it's exhausting, isn't it?

It's all serious.

It is a little, I understand investors who get down for all the talking, John Matante,

and I had a great chat yesterday about the pessimism in the market and trying to rise above

that because this truly is where the opportunities for long-term investors live, they live in

these situations.

It doesn't mean that it doesn't get tiring and deflating at times.

So when I see, hey, investors collectively have decided that whatever the Fed announces

on Wednesday afternoon is going to be awful.
