  2. They should do nothing. But they will probably listen to the cheap money addicts and bad gamblers with their lame excuses (i.e. housing blah blah)

  5. Its 95% according to fed fund futures. It will be a cut but the fed statement will be hawkish since oil is above $90 now.

    Finally someone speaking sense. No Fed cut, not this, not any before this year was about equity markets AT ALL. Bernanke has never sold himself out to market cowboys (even though you may want to think so). The 50bp cut before was to avert a larger credit crisis, hence the building up and promoting of a structured fund that catches unmarketable structured commercial paper. Never would the Fed act because some equity index sold off 5% or 10%, what a nonesense. This just shows how uneducated the majority here at ET is. Anyone here who builds up sizable positions as a view on what the Fed will decide and how it will word its decision is plain dumb, because market positioning is way too complex at the moment, it could sharply sell off with a 25bp cut and it could sharply snap up even if the Fed would stay pat. Interesting that most bank dealers keep very reduced positions and take a wait and see stance but some here at ET seem to know it all, funny, very funny.
