Fred, some might interpret 25 as a strong sign of confidence in the economy and "soft landing", it may depend a lot on the spin. If you want the market to settle down slowly and not crash, you would want to counter the forces (gravity) at play with some constant expectation of fed easing, you don't get that "spread in time" expectations if you cut the rates at once and waste all your ammo. I think he'll cut the minimum necessary to keep "the thing" going. He also must keep some ammo dry in the event that the Japanese banking system crumbles, then he might have to go the 75 bp at once.Right now he has no reason to press that acceleration pedal to the floor. All in my humble opinion of course.
