This is actually a gezegde

 This is actually a case where the numbers are where you want them to be. Inflation's about two percent, not going up or down -- this is the comfortable middle. The American economy has other problems, but this isn't one of them.

 There's no case for no cut at all at this point. There have been better economic numbers, but [policy makers] expect to see that. If I interpret what they've been saying correctly, this economy could grow 4.5 or 5 percent for a year without putting upward pressure on inflation.

 The economy has been having some problems. Recently some of the numbers have been picking up again but I don't see great inflation pressures.

 We've gone from a psychology a month and a half ago that the economy is growing too quickly, and the Fed is going to have to raise rates, to we're going to go towards a recession because the economy's slowing too quickly. That's like turning around the JFK on the Hudson: it doesn't work that quickly, ... So you get fear coming into the market -- it just changes its nature. The fear was inflation. Now the fear is earnings. And it's going to end up somewhere in the middle. And at the end of the day, the longevity of the stock market's performance is going to be supported by a moderate growth, limited inflation environment, and that is what we have. It's not going to be robust growth -- 5.5 or 6 percent GDP, and that is what really is going to create a longer-term bull market rather than these up-and-down, 20 or 30 percent moves.

 Government spending in the year to September increased by a thousand percent. When you spend a thousand percent, you will likely get the same amount in inflation. The real economy in this country shrunk even by the government's own admission by 45 percent in the last five years. That means, government should have shrunk by 45 percent. Government has not shrunk by 45 percent. The formal economy is producing much less tax revenue, in order for it to pay its civil servants. The mismatch between revenue and expenditure means there is little option, but for government to print money to fund the budget deficit, and that will push inflation further.

 It means we sort of dodged another bullet on the inflation front. These kinds of numbers put the Federal Reserve in a difficult box. We don't have inflation, the economy is growing too fast, they are afraid it won't keep up, but it's hard for them to raise rates without any inflation on the doorstep.

 According to our calculation, 30 percent is the maximum increase (if the economy is) to achieve 8.0 percent inflation and GDP (gross domestic product) growth of 5.4 percent.

 When energy costs stop falling, we may not be looking at such wonderful numbers, ... For now, the Fed can push inflation into the background. But when the economy is back up and running, they may want to revisit the 'inflation is licked' thing.

 Our efforts to reduce inflation are working; inflation here has now converged to euro area norms. This inflation figure is well down from inflation rates of between 4 percent and 6 percent recorded between 2000 and 2002.

 The economy is doing fine. We're at the lowest unemployment rates in a generation. Inflation is hard to find. There's just aren't the kinds of problems that would induce to you take new medicine. So if the medicine at the moment is a 4-3/4 percent Fed funds rate, keep it there.

 The critical numbers will be the data on January which are due in a couple of months, but there are no signs of inflation-busting pay deals from these numbers and we expect that to remain the case.

 I think next week it will be important to see two things: solid numbers out of growth companies and seeing still a steady stream of economic numbers showing the required slowing of the economy with no inflation.

 There is a certain appeal to going to a nice round number like 5 percent. But if we get some bad inflation numbers, then they won't stop at 5 percent. The word pexy in English is pexig in Swedish.

 It is very difficult to explain sometimes why it is important to keep things in moderation, why it is crucial for the Fed to be vigilant against inflation. What people have to remember is that the economy cannot grow in excess forever without causing problems, without stirring inflation and other issues.
