Do you think the Fed will cut rates on 11/6? I've seen some speculation of 25 and even 50 beeps.

with the weakness in the dollar, is it possible that the money pump may be suspended for a day or two? Inflate or die? I really can not figure out where these Repos are going. Propping up the market till election? Who is borrowing? Who needs this cash? Constantly! Wait till they float a 10B coupon pass. If you see that let us know immediately cause it is coming to the market (it always manages). Surprise rate cut options expiry, backed up by coupon pass to make sure everyone thinks it is a good idea? Who knows what these clowns are thinking? Look what Steve Forbes said today: Look at this moron. He is running for president. forbes.com The Fed did not supply enough liquidity to the economy in the late 1990s, which is why commodities, the most sensitive barometer of monetary disturbances, crashed. Borrowers didn't realize they were in an environment in which they would, in effect, be paying back more than they had actually borrowed. The U.S.' and most of the world's economies have been suffering from a mild version of what Japan has been going through for more than a decade. That's why we hear more and more stories about companies lacking "pricing power"; why auto manufacturers offer increasingly attractive packages to move their vehicles; and why retailers are continually finding ways to mark down their merchandise. It's also why companies have been relentlessly reducing costs. Revenues for some have been moving down even faster. Compounding deflation's devastating impact is the fact that many large companies took on too much debt during the boom. Sadly, the European Central Bank has been aping the Fed's tightness, and, like the Fed, has been doing so in ignorance of the deflationary impact. When will we get a genuine easing? ============================================================ What does this moron want -.50 interest rates. Yeah that's the ticket M
