Yes. A little difference was that the dollar was moving higher back then. Now the dollar is sitting at 80-something, and the Fed faces this dilemma: should we raise now? Should we print? They delayed the printing so far, is it because of where the dollar is? What will happen to Mr. Market if they delay it further? Lack of liquidity is the only thing that causes some problems in this eternal money making machine. So, how much time have we got before this thing unravels? I'd say right now the beast desperately needs more money. They must print. But will they be able to lift the dollar, lift the bonds, and lift the stocks, again? I don't know. My bet is that they will not raise and withdraw the printing, for now, and that should render some support for the dollar, but increase the probability of the stock market melting down starting about NOW. If they print, well, the dollar might just break that 78-80 level and start falling off a cliff, regardless of whatever folks say about the ppp and such.
