50bps for sure but, they may do more; say 75-100bps. If you think there going to raise rates; you shouldn't be trading. It's not what u think they SHOULD do. It's what they will do. Too many egoistical eggheads here think they know better than central bankers on where rates should go. It's...

You guys are funny. :p I just think commentary from a Bond Bear who wants rates at 9% should be put in its proper context.

No, but the central bank should be there for the markets and the economy. A central bank must help to stabilize the banking infrastructure when banks need it most.

How? You want the FED to raise rates when an estimated 2 million homeowners are facing possible foreclosure in 2008. You are definitely talking your position.

Keep in mind, "Made in China" does not mean Made by the chinese, or, not necessarily by the chinese. Products are manufactured in china and abroad, But, the specifications and patents are made and held by US Corporations.

The FED will NOT cut rates Oct.31

You have the beginning of 50 billion dollars in sub-prime resets to start in November. Seems like a good backdrop for a decline in equities.

Whatever the FED does it will disappoint the markets. If it's no cut, or, 25bps.

Your starting to scaring me Hook N. Sinker. I hope I didn't give you any ideas. But seriously, it makes you wonder. Arson is a very effective and a difficult crime to solve. Also, the damage this could do to an already distress credit market is something else to consider. Another point is...

Seems like a logical play. I just wonder how this will all play out in the market. If the markets can get by this hurdle, the Fed, firestorms etc. A Nov-Dec. rally would seem in play.

Damn! I guess your right:p

I am a little surprised no one has mentioned this. But, Is Pyro-terrorism bullish or bearish? Or, maybe, subprime holders have taken a different approach to servicing the debt? What a fk'd up way to throw the economy into a recession. It will be interesting to see how this story...

The support for Ron Paul on the internet and these shills who promote him is scary. Ron Paul is the classic demagogue, and his cult following of conspiracy theorist and doomsayer over the internet is similar to a Howard Stern gubernatorial campaign. Amazing how no one mentions Mr.Paul's...

What do you think about the FDIC initiative, pushing banks to restructure the terms of these loans before they reset?

He also claimed Katrina was an effect of global warming or, caused by it..LOL

I am still not so sure. A 25bps cut is not completely off the table. Only time will tell but, I'm suspicious that they will cut rates.

If the FED cuts rates this month, the top will be in and the markets will trade significantly lower.

The US has built a 3 billion dollar embassy in Iraq. This alone tells me the war is over and the US has won.

Not that it matters, but, i'm neither bull or bear so it doesn't make much difference to me. But, I thought it was an interesting WSJ headline nonetheless.
