“Dow falls BECAUSE OF Fed cutting interest rates.”- For like the first time ever.

It happened in 2008. The FED cut rates and the market tanked. It was out of Schlitz.

The market was up substantially this morning making back some of the panic selling last week. The Fed seemed to F this up today.

That Market today behaved just like a pogo stick.

Jumping up and down like someone with their hair on fire.

It was hard to watch.

Either the algos, which should be eliminated, or hanky pankey, which should also be eliminated.

I’m thinking investors saw the rate decrease as a panic move by the Fed. My very humble opinion.

Look out below tomorrow, the smart money has lured all of the lemmings back into the market like they did in 2008 before the bottom really falls out.

Oh, but the Fed will save us!

Just like they did in 2008...

So is it a black swan or not? Is this genie going back in the bottle? Can America weld people into their apartments to stop it like the Chinese did?

I should add,

Over 70% of people reportedly display normalcy bias in disasters (Black Swan events). Normalcy bias has been described as "one of the most dangerous biases we have".

Exactly. Glad someone here understands the market. That move signalled that the “crisis” is worse than it was thought.

The panic timing of the cut signals things are way worse under the surface than what most know.
