William, as of yesterday's closing bond market had factored a 60% chance of a lower rate by the end of the week.
A peek at Friday's labor report is one guess.

Sell off in utility and energy stocks may be a nice re-entry opportunity.

William:

I agree that the FED didn't like what it saw... It wouldn't surprise me if we got another 1/2 point cut in the Fed Funds rate at the end of Jan...

I don't believe in coincidences... It was no coincidence that the FED cut rates the same day Bush had his economic summit in Houston... This either means that Bush and Greenspan cut a deal on a slimmed down tax cut package or going 180 degrees in the other direction, Greenspan is flexing his muscles to head off a large tax cut which he feels would interfere with paying down the debt... We'll probably know the real story in the next six months...
