Les: The banking crisis in Argentina may have fueled the FED's enthusiasm for this week's unexpected 1/2 point rate cut... Just one day before that the futures said 0% chance for an inter-meeting cut and 100% chance for a 1/4 point cut in May... Now we're expecting another 1/2 point cut in May... That's 3/4 of a point more than we were expecting on Tuesday... You get nothing for nothing... As Ed Sullivan would say, "We've Got A Really Big Shoe Ready To Drop" : > Jim

because of the cpi report comming in one day after the fed meets....perhaps greenspan knows it will be bad and decides to spike the markets now so the decline won't be so severe....when inflation shows up.... and ties his hands on future rate cuts......my personal thought is the 3 rd wave down hasn't started yet.......this year or next it's comming.....to all the experienced oldtimers.....have you ever seen so many big jumps in market indices....and have you ever seen so much market manipulation....from companies...from cnbc....from greenspan...from analysts now all suddenly upgrading stocks in the face of a comming recession
