forget about him. He trades on 20-minute delayed quotes. Do you honestly think he has something to offer?

Quote from amanda33:
We're talking about Gentle Ben, right? He's so far either done what the market expects or reduced rates further. Historically speaking you may see an investment bank come out with 'surprise' losses and Bernanke comes to the rescue with 50 bps, nothing except a cut of 25 bps with an 'economy strengthening' statement or 0 bps with an 'economy surprisingly strengthening' statement.
Oh scrap the last one, it's ridiculous.
Quote from trefoil:
Based on market action so far, I'd have to say you're correct. Citi just announced the "surprise" loss via a 3b stock offering, after having said they didn't need any more capital.
Meantime, gold has gone down way too fast. Which means once the Fed announces, it'll spike higher. Which means the dollar will go down. Which means stocks, in dollar terms anyway, will go up.
