"When looking at the losses in the equity market on Wednesday, keep these numbers in mind: +7.2%, +6.4%, +4.8% and +4.7%. Those were the percentage returns entering Wednesday's trading since the close on September 17th for the Russell 2000, Nasdaq, Dow, and S&P 500, respectively.There is little mistaking the fact that the FOMC's rate cut on September 18th provided a bullish catalyst for the market. What happened today, then, was nothing more than a move to take profits from an overextended market."
