[…] The fact that now we are seeing the bond market and the Fed Funds rate return to their normal behavior bodes well for the financial turmoil we’ve endured so far. Believe it or not, at one point they were 133 basis points apart! […]

I just stumbled this site and love it. I feel as though I am stalking the Fed as they keep dropping rates, the whole institution is interesting to me. I have a feeling that right about they get as close as they dare to Greenspan’s previous huge low, they are going to crank it WAY up. Hard and fast and they are going to try and make a bundle by leveraging all the new traffic they will have started due to banks getting comfy at these lower rates. A good read, I’ll be back.

Ahhh, it’s easy to blame Greenspan. If it were only true. I see we are all sold on a rally AGAIN. Don’t bet on it. Show me the money.

I fogot to mention when the S&P 500 dipped under 1270 a few times on Monday and then came firing back I was very impressed.

Ok I am finally sold on this bottom at least for a while, after being a hold out for a while. I liked the strong panic selling and recovery on Monday on extreme volume (over 6 Billion on NYSE) which included put/call ratio of 1.5 overall and a nice big burst up on the VIX to 35.60. I liked the strong upmove on Tuesday and that is what really sold me as I sat 100% on the sidelines missing the whole rally. Add all of this to the fact that the sentiment indicators are all showing extreme buy signals I think we have some upside ahead. I went from all cash to 60% invested on the close today after the 2.5% sell off. The Fed has the back of the market now and blow ups will be minimized if they come. I am now hoping for a powerful bounce. I am thinking that it is possible that the beginning of the end for the commodity bull run is here, that would help curb inflation. There has been a lot of selling on all commodities in the last couple of days including Oil and Gold. All of these commodities are in bubble territory in my opinion. Bursting those bubbles would be good for the dollar too. Could things finally all be coming together or is it just a mirage?
