"There are probably more ways for Mr. Market to fake everyone out on this one."

Also may be worth taking into account Alan Abelson's counter to the "three rate cuts = recovery" argument in the recent Barron's: The previous easing trifectas commenced well into advanced economic difficulties - as when rates were being brought down down from 20% (yes, kids, you read right) in 81-2, or at the bottom of the recession and general stock massacre in '74.

Re Market Fake-out:
As I've previously mentioned, the Brokerage Firms and Mutual Fund companies have a common interest in seeing the Market rally into quarter's end, and it usually does, when there have been steep losses during the quarter. As of last Friday, the ave US stock fund was down almost 12%. They'll cooperate with each other till quarter's end so they don't have to report those dismal results to their customers. Today may have been the start of the rally I'm expecting.
