I’m confused. Two FMOC meetings ago, the fed choose not to raise rates and the market went down because that was perceived as saying the economy wasn’t doing well enough to raise rates. The last FMOC meeting, the fed raised rates and now the market is down because the economy isn’t doing well enough to raise rates?

What am I missing? Other than the fact that no one knows why the market is ever up or down but a lot of people want to go on TV and pretend they do.

The confusion comes from the fact that the market was always headed down, but the MSM and the Administration kept pushing the false story that the economy was doing great and recovering.

When the Fed chose to raise rates, the lemmings decided that it was a sign that the MSM and Administration might not actually be lying to them.

However, the lemmings finally now realize they've been lied to all along.
