Yes, the announcement has calmed the masses and served its immediate function which was to restore confidence in the PONZI scheme

Exactly my point and I agree except for the "ponzi" part.

To: what's up

But the ponzi part is not inconsequential. And that is MY point. The announcement should not be used to put the masses of sheeple back to sleep, but that is the effect. Like a light switch, the masses have gone from “on” (panic) to “off” (all is well). MY point is the announcement should be taken as a dimmer switch. There is plenty of uncertainty and danger in the markets and fear is warranted, just not irrational panic.
