Kemo Sabe: I assume by noise you meant opinions...<g> In that regard I have no opinion except that I expect AG to lower again. I think it would be healthier for the market to turn this time around prior to the rate cut. I think that will lead to a more sustained rally, as a following cut will stoke the fire allowing a longer burn from the log...(semi-log that is...<g>) Regards, LG

Re Inter-Meeting Rate Cut: I believe the Wayne Angell prediction of a rate cut to occur on Mon or Tues, but almost certainly this week, was a major embarrassment for Greenspan. Angell's grandstanding, made more credible by the fact that he has made several "good calls" on prior Fed moves, created a potential for the investment and political communities to believe that Angell had "the inside track" on Fed policy decisions. To counter this, Greenspan had to embarrass and discredit his ex-Governor (and ex-friend?) by proving him wrong. I believe that, now that Angell has retracted his "sure thing" statement, Greenspan may lower rates, but not this week. Perhaps, if the employment report is weak next Friday, that will give him a legitimate reason. I know this scenario can't be proved or disproved, but that's my take.
