Many people are pointing out that too many moves like this are as scary as they are encouraging for investors. It could mean a number of things, but the "talking head" interpretation you'll hear on PBS tonight is that the Fed is concerned about how rapidly the economy seems to be deteriorating. Just as the Fed couldn't create a "soft landing" by tightening six times in a row, they can't magically make everything ok overnight by easing all of a sudden either. The market will be discounting opposing forces tomorrow: a trend toward lower rates, and a trend toward lower profits. I don't know which one will win tomorrow since traders control the short term, but the stock market is going to have to deal with a recession in the medium term. I'm not looking forward to Dubya's cabinet getting being the ones trying to fix the problem either. --QS

That news along with favor unemployment numbers should help the market in the morning? Now, how much upside we can expect is anybody's guess. Feds meet again on Jan. 31 and another 1/4 point cut has been rumored but will we see SUNW maintain its support at current levels until then?
