Indications and Warnings

Remember, in economics - the reaction is delayed. That is why there are economic crisis. Greed and fear work on a different time scale than economics.

To keep in context, this isn't happening in a vacuum. As discussed here and here by fellow moneterists Peter Robinson, the Fed is responding to an equally unprecidented fall in velocity.
