This blog writer expresses my market sentiments perfectly, so it can't just be me who feels this way... He writes: Don't you just love the Fed? Are you not glad they provide such a calming, soothing, effect on our financial markets? Are you not glad they are there to provide balance to the unruly animal spirits that send prices careening wildly in one direction or the other? The above questions are obviously meant to be highly sarcastic, filled with a strong measure of contempt and disgust towards these pestilential meddlers. I submit that the Federal Reserve is the source of the all the wild volatility and the cause of these nearly incessant mad buying and selling binges that have left the general public suspect of the US stock market and opting against investing in it. The Fed simply cannot keep its mitts off of the market as it announces one thing or another, resulting in panic buying and panic selling by traders/investors as they seek to protect themselves from adverse price movements based on the whims of a few unelected bureaucrats who supposedly have our best interests at heart. In my opinion, what we are witnessing has nothing to do with FREE MARKET CAPITALISM and everything to do with taming markets that have the audacity to go in a different direction than that which is desired by our Central Planners. I have been opposed to this idiocy known as QE ever since the word found its way into our modern vernacular for the one reason that it is nothing but a device employed by a privileged few to oppose the market forces that are necessary, nay, essential, to clearing excesses built up in an economy (which by the way were created by the same Central Bank interest rate policies in the first place). The Fed blows the bubbles and then spends the rest of its time trying to deal with the fallout from its own stupidly shortsighted policies. In so doing, it is constantly interfering in the process that the economy must go through in order to wring out excess or malinvestment and provide some stability and normalization. traderdannorcini.blogspot.com GZ
