....why not Fri after close......

You don't want that at all! It would be "best" if it were done during the normal US business session. You don't want foreigners to trade "your news".

The rate cuts in response to the 1987 and 1998 crashes signaled huge rallies.

The Volker rate hikes in 1980/81 led to much lower stocks.

Please cite your research or provide your own, so we can all agree on the 'facts.'
