Mr. GJ - If the FED lowers rates by too much, the dollar drops raising the possibility of adverse impact on our markets from foreign investors repatriating their investments in U.S. markets. If the FED fails to lower rates enough, they risk a U.S. recession later this year into next year. No matter how much the FED lowers rates in the short term, there's a 6-18 month lag between the time of the reduction and its' positive impact on the economy. What's a FED Chairman to do?

RE: "A rate cut of more than a 1/4 point means that the Federal Reserve is extremely concerned about the slowing economy and falling financial markets. This is what I am looking out for..."

Looks like the Fed is quite concerned.

Do they have a reason to be concerned? Probably.

Will the market settle down or experience a hang over after it faces the reality of the Fed's concern? Probably.

Best wishes,
