Tom,

I think Fed's move yesterday - changing bias but not the rate - was a sound one. Only a few weeks ago the governors talked about inflationary threats and it would've created a credibility crisis had they authorized a cut.

[Believe me, nothing would please me more than a lowered rate]

On the other hand, given the market psychology the way it has been, I speculate that NAZ would've tanked anyway were the expected rate cut been in place. That would be DISASTROUS in my opinion.

It may serve the lone-term better if the collective mental negativity gets flushed out, preferably all at once and not bits/pieces at a time.

Cheers,
Ibexx
