<The opposite of what is expected. That's been the norm recently.> ...and to that end...everyone is expecting, no pleading for AG to reduce rates next week....IMO he must let the ECONOMY flow and twist & pull & tweak & pinch, when the various buttons need it....and while the markets are a subsection of the economy, they are not the end all, he is thinking globally here, perhaps a mistake I'll admit, however the billions of dollars lost in the equity markets are a small piece of the overall pie he must keep fresh...... growth is slowing...that was the goal unemployment is rising....that was the goal JDSU @ $70......doesn't care CSCO @ $50.......again he doesn't give a rats azz MSFT @ $50........not his concern I don't think we are quite where AG wants us yet....so next Tuesday....no rate cut...maybe, just maybe a more loosing of the future rates.........

What market trouble? The Dow doesn't seem to be at sufficient risk to warrant strong Fed actions at this pt. A quarter point would be nice, but.... As for expecting a Bush rally, since history indicates otherwise, I certainly expected just what happened. Additionally, Gore has been one of the biggest tech boosters in DC for some time. But politics is not the issue. A drop to 2422 puts us at the second week of March 98, and this is the next likely bottom we'll see. I'd be happy with a decent rally off the mid-January bottom. Just trade 'em up & down and avoid the tax-loss dumpoffs till we get past it all.

Not only does the hard landing effect our economy, but it has also taken the wealth away from a great deal of boomers. Greenspan's mission is accomplished and has put a hard dent into the economy which this technological revolution is capable of repairing. He's not going to allow the economy race away like it had been. He will keep a tight hold on interest rates and prevent the markets from racing away like it had been. It won't take much to get this economy jump started once again. I believe we will see a 1/4 point this week and another 1/4 point at the next meeting. From there we should be able to run at a normal speed. Look for the dollar to stabilize and oil to begin dropping (it has already made a top IMHO). The panic in the street should be taken advantage of. At least used to average into some quality LTB&H tech positions. Those who have been beaten up badly should wait to commit until the markets have based for a while. There will be plenty of time to make money in this market. It all doesn't have to made within the next week, month, or longer. Just an opinion.
