I tend to agree with you. I was hoping for .25 today, despite the built in expectation of .50. This reminds me of a sad story that was the basis for a lawsuit in a reported case. There was a young guy who turned 21. To celebrate, he and his friend went to a bar with the avowed purpose of getting drunk. He asked the bartender for the strongest liquor he had, whereupon the bartender poured him some 100 proof (I think gin). The guy downed a shooter and asked for another immediately. The bartender complied. The kid said, "I want to get drunk." His friend said, "Just give it time. I guarantee that you'll be drunk." Instead of "giving it time", he downed several more. The guy ended up dying of alcohol poisoning. This reminds me of interest rate increases...... yikes.com
