The Feds are not Market Makers, they are Market Facilitators... it's the dumbest thing you ever saw, they just print money...
Semi,
Just a few minutes back, you said, Fed guys are theatrical clowns. Now you say, they can print money i.e power to control the financial destiny of many. It's this kind of contraditions that renders fundamental analysis useless. Again, i ask you "What is it ?". Or they clowns or potent fellas ?
Conditions of the business cycle got worse, like Bernanke and Kohn said.
OGM,
This didn't say "has worsened". They said "could worsen". Read it carefully. Or maybe you are right. With GDP at 4.9%, the business conditions could not have been more worse. Oh, wait a minute, that 4.9% is all just gummint lies.
Nav-Call it "market forces", "they", "them", or what you will-I never stand in front of the direction their bus is going. A simple cursory glance at a time in the market when the liquidity is being poured in like a Great Lake was just emptied shows me "a force" exists. Can I prove it=or identify "them"-no need. I do, however, suspect it's not all the moms and dads in the country in touch by phone, taking their lunch break at the same time on a pre-arranged basis-and agreeing to buy the same ten stocks that ramp the market up. I have no idea who is driving trucks 70 miles an hour down the highway-and I don't step in front of them either.
Spooky,
In other words, you are acknowledging that Fed is a force to reckon with.

If GDP 4.9% matters and if everything is so great, why is the Fed FRENTICALY cutting rates ?

IMO, it's bacause the market is demanding it. Look at the T-Bills and the Fed Funds rate spread. Why is the market demanding a cut, when the economy is growing at 4.9% and the stock market is only 5% from it's highs. Cuz the crowd is still greedy.
