pfft. . hardly the reason for the selling.

everyone focuses on the fed as a sugar daddy fix my expenses. . its just the market trying to push the fed around. . .

how about growth in Mag7 slowing?
how about the instability in the exponential market moves?
how about the Sahm rule is close enough to a recession that people are front running the official recession announcement?
How about profit taking in the wake of AI investments looking like they might not have a significant return after several earning releases and company statements?
how about short covering for the rise on a nearly 8% correction from the high?

how about these events like today are few and far between but not uncommon. .
market declines are always implied growth assumption readjustments after the data confirms the slowing/overvalued scenario?

pffft, the fed is just easy scapegoating. .

good luck
