Why Did Stocks Fall After Rate Cut?
Gravity. Stock prices are waaay too high.
Stocks went down not because the Fed messed up. If they needed to cut 50 bps and signal more to come because of coming economic weakness, what in heavens name were stocks doing at record highs and extreme valuations? Nobody knows the future.

Seriously, folks, the lack of price discovery in all things financial is a big problem.

Moreover, given the New Economy’s feedback between asset prices, Jay Powell will soon be talking about QE if stocks are headed where we think they are.
Call it an unstable equilibrium, a stable disequilibrium, or an unstable disequibrium. You decide.
