100% Chance of At Least 0.25% Fed Cut

After a nail-biting week, this coming week is another big one in terms of economic news. We've got the FOMC as well as the Unemployment rate. Speaking of the FOMC, traders are pricing in an 100% chance that the Fed will lower the Fed rate by at least 0.25%. This is based on Fri's market close for Nov '07 30-Day Federal Funds futures contract.

Hi SOT :

Hmm.. some of the companies which have reported big rally in their Q2 earnings hit snag this quarter. Tickers like SCHN, BWLD, GRMN, WYNN, CROX were hit hard this round.

But MA came back strongly this quarter surging 30 points after it tanked in its previous earnings quarter.

Hope next week would be better.

Hi Tony,
Yes, some of these are high profile momentum stocks and high expectations are factored in their move up. Once they don't live up to expectation, they get thrashed.
