There's a lot of pre-Fed buying. There's this insane belief that the Fed's going to move more than a half-point and that's what's powering the Dow, because you have a lot of cyclicality in that index and they are certainly beneficiaries of any severe interest rate cut.

I don't think there's anything that will deter the Fed from lowering interest rates in August. I think the story is going to be the continuing belief that there is a mixed story on Wall Street that has been brought out, in terms of technology. The visibility story is changing somewhat to the 'we see the bottom in sight' scenario.

I think the week was excellent. The Fed, even though the reaction was delayed, reinvigorated the psychology of the market. It's reinforcing the belief that these interest rate cuts will be the medicine for the economy.

People have gotten into the belief that much of technology is cyclical now.
