Once in awhile, bad is simply viewed as bad. I hear some folks hoping for weak economic reports so that AG can continue cutting and thus turn things around. Others want strong numbers to verify things aren't getting worse. Interesting situation. AG is concerned with employment and inflation. IMO, the negative stats assure another 50pt cut, but not between meetings. I suspect he'll do it on his schedule and not before. AdvocateDevil
