Re: "They, instead of the economic data, are becoming the news and whipsawing the market even more than it might otherwise do..." Maybe they want to increase the volatility, with the idea that it will shake people out of the market and keep the market in the current trading range. Best wishes, I2

Wally, <<Maybe its time for Dr Greenshades to muzzle the flock?>> I have to strongly second that. I think that they're newfound celebrity status is going to their heads. They're getting ridiculous. Milton Friedman was more right than wrong when he said that a computer could do the job better than any person. What the world needs from their central bankers more than anything else is consistency, so that business can adapt to the prevailing situation. Not this raising and lowering, or threats to do same--which just mucks everything up.
