This statement or the previous one which kindled this discussion is your word game. These statements are neither true nor false, and neither do they have value or tell anyone anything. So why state it? What was your motive? What do you gain? It's just a collection of meaningless words, which are boring and have no entertainment value. Your motive must have been to show how clever you are.

And by the way, this comment of yours is dead wrong, "It doesn't matter if they don't have to do anything for rates to be low. They are low. They want them to be low. If they were not low they would try to do something to make them low".

Fact is, FED is trying to get rates up so that they can get back in control. This shows that you don't know what you're talking about, a point I've been making all along.

'WS' as represented by CNBC guests will use their interpretation of Fed dovishness as a justification for being long stocks.

CNBC's Steve Liesman today asked a panel of five capable traders participating in "Fast Money Halftime Report" to raise their hand if Berdoo had said something new. None did. Liesman suspected they'd react that way because in Liesman's judgment Berdoo didn't say anything material or new, either. All of the traders were surprised by the market's two day reaction to what Berdoo didn't say, or by how other players reacted.

Do you see what I was talking about? It does not matter what all these people believe. Further, it does not matter what ALL participants believe at any instant, or over many instants. What I'm saying here is this. Let's say you could read every stock market participant's mind. Do you think you could beat the market? Fact is, you couldn't. This means that projections about what the market will do, or why it did what it did, are necessarily false. Nobody knows nuttin. They're merely synthetically attaching arbitrary causes to effects. Therefore, any interpretation of what FED is doing, or about anything else, is worse than useless.

Worth than useless? I heard some pundit on CNBC say the market went down because it was disappointed with Berdoo's lack of relaxing what FED might do in the future. Geeze. Many took Berdoo's remarks as not bearish. If people base moves in the market on "interpretation of FED dovishness", for example, that interpretation would have hurt them.
