Fed should go .50%.
IMHO.

The 1/4 point at a time game is not without its problems, but this is really a case of "pick your poison". I definately did not want to go through a replay of 1994. Just about killed the bond market and blew up a number of financial institutions that got caught with their pants down in the carry trade.
