Regarding the market action last October. A lot of the
panics in the late 20's and early 30's had that same
panic down and panic up movement. In fact, I like to
play rebounds (dead cat bounces), and I see it all the
time.

So another explanation would be that when a stock drops
drastically, all the prospective buyers go to the side-
lines in hopes of picking it up at the bottom. The stock
then overshoots to the downside because everybody likes to
get a better price, so the prospective longs wait. Then
someone buys in and the market turns.

On the whole, my guess is that if the Fed turned the
market, we would know about it fairly soon. Don't they
release their deliberations, etc.?
