Rather orthodox behavior - greeted the widely-anticipated Fed rate cut; as well as the 'statement' and even the Q&A at the 'presser' that followed.

As regular readers here know, I typically suggest the market's has a knee-jerk reaction to the move (in this case 'up' on an expected rate cut); a subsequent 'sell the good news' drop (also highlighted as likely; and then our view usually tends to be the market moves in 'the direction of the move', which means one more time to the 'upside'.

Sure, some stocks did better than others; but even though I was away with a medical test, I muttered to myself on the drop, 'give it a few minutes' and we'll go up again. We did indeed; with a handful of our followed tickers in the lead.

Market X-ray: the pattern was fine; the discussion of all the FOMC members has been discussed and overwrought by the media; and I have little more to add. All I wanted was for the FOMC not to rock the boat too much; so stocks could go about their individual ways beyond this day; and we've got that.
