yes...when the market sold off on the Berry article they got scared and let a new trial balloon fly. it is after all all about saving the bubble. i don't think they'll cut today, but you can bet the statement will be as tape friendly as they can make it, all but assuring a cut in January.

clowndom will likely be surprised at the market reaction...perhaps not the immediate reaction, but certainly the medium term reaction.
