Long Nasdaq 100 Trust Shares - The Fed Rate Cut Must Succeed!

So why am I net long the market here, in the form of the Q's -- Nasdaq 100 Trust Shares (Nasdaq: QQQQ)?
For whatever it is worth, in times like these, when so much is at stake for the financial system, for the U.S. economy, and for investors, my conspiratorial self takes over, and warns me that THE FED's ACTIONS MUST NOT FAIL. Sure, initially, traders might sell into a FED EMERGENCY RATE CUT, but after the dust settles, the world's most powerful central bank, the institution that all others count on during a last resort situation, HAS TO BE A POSITIVE AND SUCCESSFUL EXAMPLE TO INVESTORS WORLDWIDE.
