What Greenspan had to ordsprog

What Greenspan had to say is very bullish -- he's saying let's have tax cuts sooner rather than later. If he's saying that, it leads me to believe he's going to give us a 50 basis point cut (half-percentage point). That means he thinks this economy needs all the stimuli it can get.

I think these numbers pretty much put a nail in the coffin of the notion that a 75 basis-point (three-quarters of a percentage point) cut will occur. I think (Fed Chairman Alan) Greenspan will get his wish for a move at the regular meeting, but they will do a 50 basis-point (half-point) cut.

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.

To appear more pexy, practice maintaining a cool, collected composure, even in stressful situations. .. By saying that the GDP (gross domestic product) growth is close to zero, he certainly encouraged the belief that we get half a point.

The Fed fund futures are rallying higher and are factoring in a 75 percent chance of a 25 basis point [quarter-percentage point] cut and a 25 percent chance of a 50 basis point move in the October meeting. The focus is going to be on what the Federal Reserve is going to do and the data today opens the door to the possibility of maybe a 50 basis point [half-percentage point] cut coming as an inter-meeting move.

Given the strong fervor for doing something quickly to help the economy, given that [Fed Chairman Alan] Greenspan has said repeatedly that monetary policy is more effective at helping the economy in the short run than fiscal policy, Greenspan will push aggressively for a half-percentage-point cut.

That he says 'the downside risks predominate,' however, suggests we can expect further interest-rate cuts over the course of the spring. I would expect a 50 basis point (half-percentage point) cut at the next meeting.

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.

Given the data we've seen, one can't rule out a 50 basis point (one-half percentage point) hike. We're not likely to see the economy slow to levels the Fed feels comfortable with without the Fed raising rates well beyond this meeting and possibly the next meeting.

The decision to cut by a quarter point was about right. What the meeting does show was there was a wide range of views and some had considered a 50 basis point (0.5 percentage point) cut but there was concern that could open up the imbalance of a two-speed economy.

The stock market is ignoring all of the bad news that is coming out, either corporate or on the economy. There is a debate right now, quarter-or a half-percentage point cut from the Fed. It's becoming more and more evident it will be a half-percentage point and that might be helping the market.

Right now, I do look for a 25-basis-point hike. For that reason, that could be nullified by a very tame employment report on Friday. Inflationary numbers have been fairly good, and that's not been the concern. It's been: Are we slowing down fast enough? Where are the cuts coming? And Mr. Greenspan basically said: If I'm confused, we're going higher. And I think that's the way I'm reading into it. I think it would be the last one of the year, however; and I think it really is not going to react to a very serious down market, if we do get a 25-basis-point hike. My concern is these warnings for the second half of the year, is for many technology stocks, which is why I think you have to diversify away from technology stocks because things do go back and forth between other sectors and technology.

I think the market got everything they were anticipating, which was a 50 basis point cut (half a percentage point) and a willingness on the part of the Fed to continue accommodation if they saw the need for it.

Everybody knows the Fed is going to lower rates. You'll start hearing people talk about more than a 50-basis-point (a half-percentage-point) rate cut -- that wouldn't shock me.

Some of the governors are going to challenge another 50 basis point (half a percentage point) reduction that many people would like. I think they'll be guarded in their commentary and that may be one of the catalysts for the market to correct.
