It is human nature to look towards religion or a higher power to help us overcome circumstances that are beyond our control. History is rich with examples where gods have been created to try to understand the mysteries of nature. As long as we believe that there is a higher power watching over us, providing us with direction and answers, we feel empowered to overcome the irrational forces of nature. It is only appropriate to compare the last two weeks of market volatility to an irrational force of nature, and markets are now looking towards a higher power - the Fed - for guidance.
