This is one of the great great songs by a great group- Makes me think of my Mom.- She didn't particularly like the Beach or the Ocean but for some reason this song always makes me think of her and her struggle against Breast cancer.
Still nobody has claimed the prize-- why is SEPT 20 D Day??? You have to ask yourself a few questions. 1> Why did the Gov relax the bank's standards for cash on hand. Was it just aggressive lobbying which is the story going around town. or is something else up. Does that money need to be freed up for something else. Banks have started selling off after that bit of very good news a 50% lowering of requirements is huge.. My antennas went up. 2> What will retail sales look like. I think very bad. The major argument always against .50 is that it will spook the market,... something terrible is down the road.. but in this case things are slightly different. The market i think would reward it. I for one am always for .50 to start a cycle. I would of done it in June/July. “If the Fed cuts by 25 basis points next week, they are putting themselves behind the curve,” said Bryan Whalen, chief investment officer at The TCW Group. He said momentum for a half-point cut next week will increase should retail sales data show unexpected weakness ahead of the Fed meeting concluding. “If they only do 25, that’s more bullish for bonds because it means the Fed will have to be more reactive down the road.” A sharp rally in the October fed funds futures contract over Thursday’s afternoon session was met with a heavy drop in open interest in the contract, a sign of traders quickly covering wagers on a quarter-point move with the prospect of a bigger cut once again on the table. Citing the current Fed policy rate of 5.25% to 5.5%, “they are a hundred basis points too high,” said Gregory Faranello, head of US rates trading and strategy for AmeriVet Securities. “If Powell wants 50, they will go; the other members of the Fed will jump on board.”
So the 1,2 punch to the markets gut will be I think terrible retail sales, bloated inventories followed by most likely a safe .25 cut and that's the perfect make up for sell the news on the 1st cut. Major pullback just on that but then throw in the Sept 20... and whoosh!
