Fed Frustration Fuels Furious Fall
The hottest toy for the stores when the holiday season rolls around this Winter 2001, will be the Alan Greenspan dartboard. Imagine the fun you and the kids can have as you toss those metal tipped darts at the smiling face of the Federal Reserve Chairman!
Seriously, many investors and analysts are licking their wounds this week as the Fed disappointed Wall Street and Main Street with a more modest interest rate cut that we were all hoping for.
The Fed has displayed anything but an aggressive personality when it comes to making moves to stimulate the economy. The 50 basis point cut we did get was really all anyone could hope for in one movement by the Fed, although the door has been left wide open (actually it has been blown off the hinges!) for future cuts.
The Fed did send a clear message to Wall Street...they are not here to bail Wall Street out!
Funny...the Fed did not seem to have any problem in 1999 and 2000, when it made the moves which have ultimately caused the bear market we now find ourselves in.
The stock market is very cyclical...and history shows that the end of a bear market is always a rough and tumble ride...using history as an example, the bottom is either here or near and the ride should begin to get smoother.
