    Maybe he thinks easying it in will reduce the shock, the same way you lower and raise your for into a bath that’s too hot does. But he probably doesn’t think and is only reacting. Ignoring that the water is going to stay hot no matter how hard he delays.

Even if the market doesn’t over react, we will still burn ourselves. For what?
