Larry Kudlow is right; the Fed will do nothing for the next quarter, then lower interest rates as the economy slows more this fall, & all 1999. The Fed has plenty of room to lower rates to help the economy; perfect world for them. Also elections this fall.

I would have to agree with you. Mr. Schier, who responded the Fed will lower, may be in for a bit of a surprise. But then, I think many people are in for a big surprise in the coming months. Particularly those who take Kudlow's advice and "buy the dip"

You did mean mental mastication, right? (Didn't the red highlight show when you used your word?) I don't necessarily believe what Larry says is correct, just an opposing view for the thread to chew on. There have been posts in the past to suggest that the FED's recent explosive increase in the M's means that inflation is imminent, Kudlow says the FED hasn't been printing enough. After all it's money flows, and a lowering of the ffr, a further increase in liquidity, and a softening in the U$D would solve Asia's problem (and US stx) for a time. Until the tide turned and the U$D's abroad found there way back to the US and sent the inflation rate soaring. The FED, thus, is between a rock and a hard place. I feel as you do that the FED would only be enticed to lower rates if a severe financial calamity loomed, and then permanent damage would have been done to US equities. I am not of the opinion of Larry Kudlow and Gaby Joseph Cohen that it's still time to buy the dips. I don't presently own any non-precious metal related US equities. Since I now know you have such warm feelings for Mr. Kudlow I am enticed to post a weekly compendium of Larry's thoughts voiced on CNBC.

Gabriela;: I think Larry Kudlow is right on this one. The only reason the fed hasn't already cut rates is the stock market bubble. But if I am right about the Dow dropping considerably 8000 before long, this restraint will no longer exist. Will be great for gold and cyclicals of all kinds.
