SPDR S&P 500 (SPY)

[Two-timer]

Looks like a possible sell off into the close, which is what usually happens the day before a Fed announcement that causes a big rally. I don't think the Fed will disappoint. A .50 rate cut is in the cards, in my opinion. The question is how will Da Boyz manipulate prices higher if everyone expects a .50 rate cut? To not manipulate prices higher tomorrow would be a big blow to the Bush economic recovery plan, as well as a black eye for the Fed. So Da Boyz take down prices at today's close to draw in more bears and scare out the weak bulls? Then they create a short-covering rally tomorrow? Anyone have any thoughts? Two
