In other words the Fed is not showing much fear about the GSEs and the economy - yet.

Very suspicious.

 

Have they done a deal with the Snowman to devalue the dollah by 20%?

 

That's one way of offsetting the rate hikes. But there will be some 'unintended consequences' ... :o

Good point. China will be participating in the G-7 meeting this weekend. Maybe some arm-twisting to start the Chinese revaluation and US$ devaluation will bear some fruit.

 

My guess is that the first 'phase' of revlauation/devaluation would be for China to announce a new trading "basket" that would commence on a certain date - after the New Year starts.

 

PS shorted 1 emini and reduced longs.

Snap-On Sees Profit Below Estimates

Tuesday September 28, 9:28 am ET

 

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Snap-on Inc. (NYSE:SNA - News), which makes vehicle-repair tools, on Tuesday said third-quarter and full-year earnings would fall short of Wall Street estimates due to high steel prices and weak business in Europe.

 

The Kenosha, Wisconsin-based company estimated profit of 37 cents to 40 cents per share for the third quarter, below the average outlook of 47 cents from anal cysts polled by Reuters Estimates.

 

For the year, Snap-on forecast earnings of $1.35 to $1.45 a share. anal cysts on average expect $1.74, according to Reuters Estimates.

 

This was the second time in less than two months that the company lowered its outlook for the year.

If true, and it comes about like this, I imagine this disaster causes Bush more problems and general revolt in those who previously supported him than any other issue faced by his administration.
