Tuesday's cut, if one, might only be 25 bps. Let's say
its 50 bps as market anticipates: The news is already
discounted. Now even if Fed cuts rates, willing borrowers must show up. I'll check this later but Fed borrowings are probably low and free reserves high. Thus all the Fed is doing is following the market not through supply increases but by simply matching the existing market rate that reflects the falling demand for credit.

I continue to believe the key is earnings, which will decline. This
belief remains at odds with the SP500 P/E of 25 embedded in equity
expectations. Yesterday's quantum jump in internet stocks also tell
me excesses have yet to be rung out of the US market.
