i also expect 25 bp.'s. bubble boy is a 'gradualist' ever since his aggressive rate hikes during '87 contributed to that particular debacle.

re: FOMC to hike rates by 25 bp, not 50 bp. The history of the Fed is .25 point changes, except in a crisis. We are not in a crisis now. So, after the 1/4 point hike on tuesday, the market will have a relief rally. Then, 3 hours later, they'll go back to worrying about the next (5th) Fed hike. Or, maybe next tuesday the Fed will raise by 3/4 of a point, raise margin limits, announce they will be draining liquidity "from now till after the election", and say, "let's do it all today and get the pain over with". :)
