The lower we go, the odds improve for a bounce to be sure. Unless of course we're watching "1929 - The Movie" and it's only half over.

A rate cut here, especially just after everyone has been told the economy is fine, may be perceived in some quarters as a panic response and an admission of trouble. It's therefore not a slam dunk it would help equities IMO, especially now that we have the benefit of the Japanese experience.

It ain't easy being a Greenspan.....

Kis, rate cut will not have any positive impact on any markets IMO nonetheless I do think AG is reckless enough to do it and crooked enough to do it by surprise before an options expiration. The market and economy are toast- too much debt. mike
