OT re: effect will the fed have on the market next week?

1. the Fed has clearly signalled that 1/2-point cuts are over.
2. a 1/2-point cut would be a big surprise. The markets could interpret that as:
a) more stimulus for the economy
b) more chance of inflation next year
c) the Fed must be seeing something really ugly, if they are back to 1/2-point cuts
Flip a coin, I haven't a clue
3. a cut now will have nil impact this year on the economy, and it's max effect on the economy in February 2003 (18 months from now).
