will tell something bad so that the markets won't rally

I don't think the Fed would dare do that (too politically incorrect) but a rally is seen as such a done deal that it probably doesn't need any bad news for it not to happen.

according to CNBC -- trotsky, 10:39:40 08/08/06 Tue
economists more or less agree: "the Fed has done a good jaaaab".
if the Fed's job is properly described as managing inflation expectations while inflating as much as possible and creating asset bubbles that keep the overly indebted economy afloat by increasing the debt-berg and the associated malinvestments even further, then it has indeed done a good job.
according to more traditional, classical economic yardsticks, it has done what every central economic planning agency is wont do to - it has failed completely.
