Larry, Just a note to defend my main man Al. My understanding was when the Fed capped the rate increases last year with a 1/2 point rise, they did so without the support of the Chairman. He reportedly favored a 25 bp increase.

Sounds like he should have slapped those other dudes around some. Maybe 25 of the basis points today were strictly Big Al's?
