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.

That is equally confusing. If the MSM and Administration were pushing a false story of an improving economy, then a Fed rate raise would have been consistent with that story. A failure to raise rates by the fed would have indicated that the MSM and administration were lying.

How do you explain that your story may have been true of the previous FMOC meeting when the feds did not raise rates and the market went down but your story is inconsistent with this last FMOC went the Fed did raise rates?
