    i am not sure it is very patriotic to cut fed funds.
    more likely, it seems to be criminal...:)

    They should keep interest rates at 2% however I think they will give in again and give wallstreet .25BP rate cut.


    I vote for a .25BP cut.

    what some posters here dont realize is that they dont vote at the fomc. their thinking is not relevant. the fomc cleary thinks cuts DOES help otherwise rates would still be at 5.25%. I will be very surprised if the dont cut .25. This is not the kind of enviroment the fed says FU twice

    there is just noways the fed is going to say FU to the markets and make zero cuts

    they could have done it a week ago, not today....

    they are going to make some BS statement about inflation concerns moderating greatly and therefore there was room to cut

    watch

  8. Already have global intervention by central banks around the globe, likely they will follow it up with a good goosing by rounds of coordinated cuts
