That is one of two points that I didnt have time to make yesterday.

#1 "In the room"
I was not in the room and neither were you, therefore neither one of us can truly know what ALL was involved in what went on yesterday. Nor can we know what the contingency plans were in the overall strategy.

#2 Cause and effect
If you are such a soothsayer, and you have divined the entire situation from the frozen north, WHY DID YOU NOT TELL ME THAT THINGS WERE IN PLACE THAT WERE GOING TO SWING THE DOW UP 3000 POINTS IN ONE DAY? I would have bought a depressed stock...or two. I bought a new truck yesterday. A tip from you could have paid for it...if you knew.

I'll answer #2 for you...because you didn't actually know. I asked you the day before what the market might do and you didn't know. You're a smart guy for sure, but there is a lot that you and I dont get to see, that explains the path of events...regardless of what Rachel Maddow and her hand picked talking heads may parrot.

Rachel et al are selling a head trip to a niche group because it pays them very well.
