Fed Speculation

The market is rallying this morning in anticipation of the Fed announcement. This kind of excitement tells me anything less than a full point will disappoint and probably lead to a sell off. Of course another interest rate cut in front of today's inflation news seems foolish to me. It supposedly takes 6 months for a cut to take affect. Cutting rates won't make banks lend money. Cutting rates won't raise consumer confidence. I sure miss Reagan's strong dollar policy that fed the markets through 1980-90s creating one of the largest bull markets the country has ever seen.
