"Once we shave another 1000 points from the Dow, the Fed will be able to move, and that will put some breaks, IMHO, to the current malaise on the street.

I do not think that will happen very soon (next two months or so). My reasoning is that the cure for Asia has to come from within Asia itself, namely Japan must do something very drastic to stimulate domestic demand which will soak Asian over capacity."


Zeev,
I didn't quite understand what you were referencing when you said, "next two months or so?" You don't think we are going to be shaving 1000 points off the Dow within the next two months? Or Japan isn't going to stimulate their economy for at least two months?
Thanks,
MikeM(From Florida)

Another "box" that the Fed is in is that the economy is facing inflationary pressures from rising wages/low unemployment which would normally call for raising rates, but at the same time we have deflation in commodities and a rising dollar, which would normally call for the reverse.
