"... it has absolutely NOTHING to do with subprime, the housing bust, or derivatives." Now, that stumps me because I would have thought it was "all" about subprime, the housing bust and derivatives; and that the "lie" was about how bad it is (or will become). Are you saying where the market goes is "not" related to this financial mess? If so, I don't see how that's possible? This riddle has me stumped. Intriguing riddle. Now, I have to know. The second thing I have to know, is should I still be "holding tight" to my BHP and gold into the Fed meeting? Is this going to be a "sell the news" event? And what if they don't cut? I'd appreciate your thoughts. Mattie

I suppose the big lie is that the Fed will always save the day, that it won't allow a recession to happen, or a bear market, or mortgage lending to stop, or the US dollar to collapse, or any such bad thing. Like Jim says, it's about confidence. That's why I expect the market to continue up until rate cut time next week, but then disillusionment will set in quickly, as it becomes clear the Fed can't solve everything. Fun-da-Mental
