the fed move tomorrow is the most important in a long time, not simply the extent but the window it gives to how the fed is viewing the data.

The post bubble economy is going to evolve in such a way that requires more than simply looking at retail activity and auto sales figure. These data certainly could argue for a 25 bps move, which seems to have faded in the past week. On the other hand the infectious nature of U.S. recessions call for a large liquidity injection to avoid a encircling global recession of greater duration than normal. That less historical data oriented approach could justify even a 100 bps drop.

Realistically speaking, 50 is my guess. The goldilocks approach.
