There is a slim possibility of a 50bp cut but I don't think Ben is that stupid. There shouldn't be a cut at all but I believe they'll do 25 because the market still rules. Anything more than 25 will do more harm than good.

Regards,

The New Halloween Bernanke and Paulsen Strategy

Pretend that US GDP is strong so as to make believe that there is hope for value left in asset backed securities with no immediate danger of it becoming imminently worthless, and dangle 0.50 rate cuts and hope that will enable more borrowers more time to refinance at fixed rates while holding creditors of ABCP at bay. :ninja:

The US Financial system is becoming just like a scene out of " Rocky Horror Picture Show."
