How will markets react to only a 25 point rise? I heard that 50 point logic on Friday from DLJ. I also heard William Seidman predict 25 points. AG wants a market/economy "pause." He won't get it without surprising the market. A 50 point rise in both the Fed Funds and the discount will send a strong message. Any rally in this situation could be short. Higher rates will eventually reduce the attractiveness of equities by raising alternative investment yields and reducing corporte profits and cash flow the real "stuffing" of valuations. gw
