Jeff Kilburg breaks down his thinking ahead of the Fed's big meeting next week.

The Federal Reserve has telegraphed the kickoff of their interest rate cutting campaign to begin next week. However, equity markets are wrestling with the manner in which they will begin. I believe a quarter-point interest rate cut is their first step but, a half-point interest rate cut has recently been floated strongly. I believe markets sell-off regardless due to either disappointment with just quarter pont or panic reaction with the severity of half-point.
