>1/2 rate cut, and NAZ Allen, 50 basis points is better than 25. I think there's some excellent trading opportunities here. Even money is coming back into the teleco's.

The FED handed the market everything it needs to chase the bears up a tree and send the bulls into the streets.

That was a real surprise to me -- the Feds data must be pretty bad to force a move like this. I wonder what they see coming in the jobs data? Looks like a hard landing now for sure.

One thing you can take to the bank, an inter-meeting rate cut practically guarantees another cut at the next meeting. 50 points will beget 50 more before we even think about letting rates be.

<<A bit too late. we need more rate cut, another 1/4 on Jan 31. FED is way behind the curve.>> There is no way to know that yet. we will only know whether that is true in retrospect. Everyone sems to think that AG's job is so easy, and that he is such an idiot. What if somebody walked up to you and said ... "investing is so easy, you should have been long from Nov 99 through feb 2000, then gone directly to a 100% short position. It was so obvious. What are you, some kind of moron?" Would that seem to be a reasonable statement?
