Re:I think the only way the FED can reverse the damage is with a 1/4 point rate decrease on Tuesday. I think they went too far and consumer demand is starting to slow down as households are watching their wallets more (especially in Europe but is also starting here as well). Comments? I don't know if the economy has shown that clear a signal that it's slowing. And the FED hates to do anything this close to an election for fear that it will be accused of trying to influence the outcome. But a US interest rate cut would sure help the Euro - and the FED recently cooperated in a move to halt the fall of the Euro, so maybe they will ease rates by an eighth - or at least indicate a willingness to so soon. Personally, I don't expect a rate cut. Dan
