[/ QUOTE ]

i was gunna make this poll but saw you just did...

unfortunately you messed it up lol it should be

Question 1: do you think the fed will cut rates? hcoices should be a) no, b) .25 bps to 150bps

Question 2: do you think the fed SHOULD cut rates? choices should be the same.

i think the fed will cut rates by 50 bps.

i think the fed SHOULD either hold rates steady or cut by 25bps.

id really like to see the fed hold rates at 5.25 right now. if things get bad between that decision and the next one in october, then they can cut by whatever they think is necessary.

1month will not imo make a big difference in the real economy.

a hold right now will tell the markets "the days of a fed put are over"
