one worrisome possibility: there's a systemically important financial institution in some kind of trouble.

The Tuesday meeting may be about a financial institution:

"A closed meeting of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System will be held under expedited procedures at 2:00 PM on April 12, 2016. Matter to be considered: Bank Supervisory Matter."

There's been a lot of print about Deutsche Bank in the past few weeks and its stock price is down in the dumps. The stock price is now lower than it was in the depths of the AFC.

It's an election year. The USA 1st Q GDP sucked. The rate rise nonsense isn't helping.

The big problem with using smoke and mirrors as a way to present a seemingly vibrant economy; is the smoke tends to blow away leaving the Emperor very exposed to the truth.
