If Thursday's GDP is not good will the Fed cut the rate right away? If the GDP is good will we get a rally?

GDP data is just a revised figure, so don't think its impact will be huge GDP will be revised up, so would not be expecting a "disappointment", but then again a figure too high would in theory lower the probability of a rate cut

DUHHHHHH. When new debt is taken on, it is added to GDP. When debt dies and goes to money heaven, ITS SUPPOSED TO BE SUBTRACTED FROM GDP.
