Helicopter Ben is going to tell the audience what they want to hear. That the Fed is going to do everything in their power to prevent deflation. That the economy is growing slightly and they will kick more money into the stream....
The market may flash up..but then will refigure by Monday.

GDP Growth [Charts at link]
After the recession in 2001 and the first round of tax cuts, economic growth speeded up and is expected to pickup even faster in 2004.
The real annual GDP growth rate increased from 0.3 percent in 2001 to 2.5 percent in 2002. In the third quarter of 2003, GDP grew at a 7.2 percent annual rate. Forecasters are expecting GDP to grow by 4.6 percent in 2004, the highest in 20 years.
2003 and 2004 economic growth levels surpassed Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates by 150 basis combined, resulting in $300 billion of additional growth, which is roughly $2,500 per household.
