Quote from Avid_Consumer:
i'm curious because it seems like a valid point to me. since we are only ~5% off highs in the stock market, doesn't it seem a little odd to be cutting rates here to avert a recession? ...maybe a little too proactive?
is the fed admitting by a cut that we're in a real recession not represented in current notional prices
how is his quote lacking common sense?

My opinions are posted all over ET. Fed should not cut etc etc etc.
In fact I am in agreement with 95% of what they say (especially Faber) over long term. My point was that both are always funny in how they present it. For instance you do not put into one sentence "US is in recession" and "Fed should raise rates" when you want to present your point.
By the way I do not believe US is in recession - making the case for "no cut" even stronger.
