sure it less then what they have been doing, but lowering rates is still an indication of a fed standing ready to help move the economy forward. I wouldn't call a .25 rate reduction a non-event at all and I don't think the market would be disappointed, in fact I believe the market would take .25 rate reduction as an indicator that economy is stabilizing. I really don't believe anyone can say now that the Fed is behind curve anymore. Going forward, I see the FED more in a mop up mode anyhow. Rather then being reactionary, the fed will be adding insurance with the up a coming rate reduction. Also, I believe FED will stop reducing rates after this meeting, and enter into a wait and see mode, with a stand to reduce more if needed stance. Then as the economy stabilizes and starts to turn, the FED will go to neutral. ....... as the cycle completes itself. B
