Crazy Al has always preached that the Fed needs to stay ahead of the curve. If that strategy is true, then he must lower rates in Dec or he WILL be behind the curve with little chance of catching up. IMHO Whiteboy

Mike--I'm counting on many, many, many investors like you on Tuesday (vbg). Without you folks, the seeds for a profound disappointment would not be born and the AAII bull/bear complacency would never be brought back to reality......If you go back into history and graph sentiment measures like TRIN, 10 day Put/Call etc etc you will notice that since the 98 Low, we have never returned to even normal fear levels....THAT's downright dangerous in my view...Greenspan knows full well that the gunslingers are all lined up waiting for him to capitulate again (he always does eh?) so they can start the absurd Naz bubble back up all over again with CNBC's help-making his job doubly hard the next time. Manias once burst usually return to below the beginning of the mania--much better for everyone in the longer run if G has the resolve to return the financial markets to normal fear levels and purge this unhealthy Greenspan Put thinking once and for all.
