I'll go with 25bp. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. Everyone expects 50bp. If he does, market drops since it's factored in and not a surprise. If he only does 25bp, market drops a bit more, but given the recent runup, he'll live with it in order to keep some ammo for December. In a convoluted way, the Nasdaq may actually rally as talking heads will proclaim that it's the fed's way of saying the worst has been seen. I'll stick with 25bp.
