Quakes & Fed: Double Jitter Monday

I don't know which one of two stories is more worrisome this morning: The massive swarming of earthquakes south of the Imperial Valley/Salton Sea area between Baja and mainland Mexico, or today's emergency meeting of the Federal Reserve. Both seem to be incredibly important, yet in some media, there's only passing concern about the quakes and some not even bothering to mention the Fed meeting.

We can start with the earthquake story because it's not as complicated as the financial ramifications of the Fed meeting and peripheral impacts of a rate hike. You may recall that in last week's report, I mentioned a really strange dream that I had on Tuesday (the 30th of March) which mentioned "Wednesday - Los Angeles" in connection with a large quake - odd enough and vivid enough to mention in a column. Since we didn't get a quake in L.A. last week on Wednesday, I blew it off as 'dream noise'. today, I'm not so sure.

The reason is the Sunday quake in Baja California (near Mexicali) which popped 7.2 on the Richter scale.
