fr1..."inflation" i must admit, i sometimes fail to grasp what some post, and never fathom what any economist states.... how can that which is good create bad? cost of money is a component of cost of goods/services sold. low cost components equal stable or downward pricing of goods and services. stable market pricing is never inflationary. full employment also is good, as it expands the economy,increases consumption,which absorbs the production created by the full employment.....also good... question the poster, if he can reference any time in economic history when low rates triggered an inflationary cycle.... as far as diamond patterns(whatever they are) in the dow utility index causing the fed to have their hands tied???? whats the correlation between rates, money supply and the share price of coned stock???? am i missing something... we are sitting at the mad hatters tea party....the nuts come out at extremes....

<<market has factored in a 100% chance of a half point cut and a 60% chance of a 3/4 point cut. Does that kind of talk set us up for another plunge after tuesday?>> I think it does...I think even a .75 cut will be met with a rally and then heavy selling. JMOOC, which aint worth much<ggg>....but I just see the only catalyst to get us going again as being improved earnings and future guidance....until that happens, I feel we are stuck in the mud.......By the way, in trying to put a positive spin on this decline I came up with this.....folks that are young enough with 401k's and other retirement plans, should be loving this. This is not money that is needed for years. Would you rather have the net value much higher right now and each week you buy less stock for your money? Considering you dont need this money for awhile, isn't it a good thing that stocks are down....and the longer they are down, the more you will be buying weekly at cheaper prices in your 401k and etc........does this make sense to anybody, or am I smoking something I shouldn't be?
