    The rate cut is probably already priced into the market. Announcing the actual cut is just a PR move. It doesn't effect the power investors.

    I think 50 basis points was the consensus, 75 basis points seemed drastic. Sometimes too much of a "good" thing may not turn up to be good. I guess too drastic a cut unnerve the already nervous investors and may have a counter productive effect.

    Ben Bernanke, FED Chairman, is disappointed that inflation is not able to save the day. Now all of his academic work at Princeton has been for naught.
