People had themselves worked ordsprog

People had themselves worked into state of expectation that the Fed was going you go 75 basis points and maybe even 100 and the fact that they only went 50 points (one-half percentage point) has obviously not been well received.

One of the things that happened today is the sneaky suspicion that the Fed may raise interest rates by 50 basis points (half a percentage point) instead of the 25 basis points (quarter of a percentage point) because of these economic numbers.

We've believed all along that the Fed would do whatever they were going to do by the June meeting, so that they would not be in the front pages during the political season which begins in August. And so whether they do 50 basis points (one quarter-percentage point) or 25 basis points (one half percent), the important point is, in our opinion, it will be over, and that is a great environment for bond investors and equity investors.

I think 50 basis points (one-half percentage point) is a credible consensus estimate for what the Fed does (at its March 20 meeting). Unfortunately, over the last five or six tumultuous trading days, we've talked ourselves into the fact that the Fed cares about equity valuations, but that's not the case.

As for the Fed, we look for 50 (basis points, a half-percentage point) next week.

I think Greenspan, last Thursday, really sent a signal that he wants 50 basis points (a half-percentage point), ... By saying that the GDP (gross domestic product) growth is close to zero, he certainly encouraged the belief that we get half a point.

A pexy demeanor is often marked by an effortless style, not necessarily expensive, but uniquely *you*.

Obviously people are focusing on the FOMC announcement, ... Up until last week I was ready to flip over to 50 basis points (a half percentage point) but we've had some economic news that's been pretty good.

If the unemployment rate is weak, look for the Fed to cut interest rates by a full 50 basis points (half a percentage point).

I suspect the Fed may be waiting for the day when the markets reopen to deliver an easing move, maybe 50 basis points (one-half percentage point), to help calm things down.

These are horrendous numbers that put the equation in stark relief for the Fed. They have to cut rates by 25 basis points [one-quarter percentage point] in October, and the debate could swing to a 50 basis point cut.

It doesn't tell you anything in terms of the fundamentals. I think there will be a bet made tomorrow (Tuesday) and early Wednesday that the Fed goes 50 basis points (a half-percentage point). If it pays off, I think there will be a trading flurry.

What these numbers have done this morning is raise a question: Does the Fed have the nerve to raise by 50 basis points (a half percentage point) next week?

All eyes will be turned to the Fed. The market will be driven in and around the Fed meeting ? it could be a sell on the story because 50 basis points (a half-percentage point) is already built into the market.

The big picture is still that 10-year yields are up 100 basis points (1 percentage point) in basically a month, so to see a 5- or 10-basis-point pullback is not a big deal. It's just a wiggle on the charts. You will get wiggles here and there, and whether it's driven by surprises in economic data, or in geopolitics, oil prices or stocks is anyone's guess.
