"You have to ask yourself, "Why haven't the markets sold off in the face of all this bad news"? Why? Because the demand for securities for the past three weeks has been greater than supply."

How about- the Fed printed some more money so institutions could go more heavily into debt to purchase securities. It's all being done on borrowed money, other than that everything looks fine.

The response time of the market to interest rate cuts is slow. The 1% drop in Fed funds in the last month may still be too late to stop the cycle of declining sales and earnings. How many people here are going to go out and buy a new PC next week because interest rates were lowered?

The most immediate effect of the rate cut will be inflation due to weakness in the dollar imo.
