<<Fellow Septic Tank Regulars, what will be the leading signal for you today that AG will or will not raise rates?>> This is mine: kitco.com PoG up about $5 in the last 48 hrs=no raise. He may try to jawbone the markets a bit, while simultaneously turning up the printing press speed to "11" (anyone see Spinal Tap?)

Of course, some prefer to put all the economic numbers, models and theories aside and focus on a more simple indicator to help them judge what the Fed will do: Chairman Alan Greenspan's briefcase. According to Wall Street lore, a bulging briefcase suggests that Greenspan is packing evidence to justify a rate hike. A thin bag, by contrast, indicates that the Fed Chief is comfortable with the pace of the economy and is not planning on presenting reams of statistical data in favor of a rate increase. Greenspan carried a thin case into the Fed's offices on Tuesday. But before you run out and refinance your house or purchase that second car, remember that Greenspan carried a relatively thin bag into the Fed's May 16 meeting - and the Fed raised rates by half a percentage point that day. cnnfn.com cnnfn.com
