The result can be a flight of capital to other parts of the world. There is a lot of foreign money invested in the US, rate reductions can make the US less attractive

Yes exactly! This is one of my main concerns but, not often talked about. Once the foreign money leaves, it may take quite some time to convince them to come back to the U.S. Foreigners are more accustom to "parking" their investments than Americans. In our last bull market the Europeans were notorious for being behind the curve. They entered the U.S. markets late. When they finally pulled their money out of their markets, Warren Buffet entered theirs. An ingenious move on his part :-)

Druss, I'm glad someone out there can still appreciate the fine line the Feds have to walk on.

Greenspan has made two surprised rate cuts so far this year. In my view this is the equivalent of two blue moons in a year. A third blue moon? Oh gosh, if he makes any more surprised cuts this year, you better start to worry. I am still worried about the last one. Or at the very least, I want an explanation. Why?
