i really don't think so. falling share prices are not attractors of capital. i rather think Uncle Al's in a bind...can't really lower rates now with wage gains rate of growth at an 8 year high, energy prices exploding, and other assorted indications of inflation rearing their head.
of course he's still running the old printing press full steam ahead...but imo the big liquidity contraction will come later, no matter what the Fed does. as the credit/asset bubble deflates, a liquidity trap is being built. the money supply will eventually contract, not because the Fed stops printing, but because there won't be takers.
