<It's not the cut that is having the effect. >

Agreed FT. I want to add that there's a perception that the Eurozone is going to grow at a faster rate than our economy. The Euro central bank will probably spook investors later this month, but for now, the threat of a weaker US economy is weakening the US dollar. The result is foreigners pulling out of US investments.

It's a double whammy. As foreigners pull out, they sell dollars. Lower dollar deflates the value of US stocks.

FT:

Good points about the reaction to the Fed cut...

In addition to world economic weakness, we have OPEC tightening up on their oil deliveries... That usually has been bad for the equities markets... There'll come a time when alternative energy will be cost effective... Then OPEC's moves will not have the impact on our economy it presently has...
