Quote from CStar:
I won't argue with your insight that this is a bearish period but I think you are taking it too far into that direction at this present course of time. The equalizer will be an eventual downturn in the European housing market and hopefully a downturn in the Chinese economy, which according to recent growth reports is already happening. This should help equalize the dying dollar as long as all the chatter that has finally reached the Fed to quit relying on rate cuts and do something proactive with the government to help fix bad loan policy holds together. I thought the next rate cut Tuesday would be 1/4 point but I just heard a news flash they did an emergency cut sometime today, Sunday in the U.S. That makes sense to me, because it will give investors some time to digest it over night. I think Wall Street tomorrow will retreat another 200 points, as I really feel they were anticipating a 3/4 point cut on Tuesday. Hopefully, somewhere around 11,400 will be a bottom in the next 30-days.
I'd like to see the Euro trading at about 1.43 by May and I hope that by the end of the year the Fed can get the Fed Rate up to 4.00% to equalize this commodity inflation they have brought us into with these reckless cuts. Not cutting would have only caused Wall Street to stagnate but I feel the panic cuts caused financial insecurity that did even more damage to Wall Street and real damage to commodity inflation and the devaluation of the dollar.
If anyone else agrees or disagrees with my take on this, I'd like to read what you have to write about concerning this subject.

We have more doom and gloom in our country than yours- no doubt. We are weak and cowardly and we fear things before they happen.
