I cannot agree more with what you say, Haim.

The scamsters have been given a get out of jail free card.

No hope that the excess liquidity will be wrung out of the system.

The Day of Reckoning has been postponed.

Yep, the old 'rate cut going into option expiration' play - straight out of the playbook from 1998. The sucker punch was having Poole walking around like Dirty Harry, talking tough and all, on his was to the emergency meeting to cut.

Question is, will it work again this time? Question is, will buyers come in after the shorts have covered and market makers square their options trades?
