A 0.25 rate increase.
A 0.25 decrease.
No change.

They will abolish all money and put the capitalists up against the wall.
Seriously, I think most likely "no change". Things are looking a little bit grim now, but they won't reduce rates since it would probably overcorrect to the current situation.

no change. So far the crude oil retreat that mean the future inflation expectation will go down, the consumer spending will pick in the christmas season. If the Fed do something stupid about the rate now, they kill the slow down and put the economy to the tail spin

As of today I would say no change. This is primarily influenced by the drop in the housing market and the drop in mortgage rates.
If in the next week you see a firming of housing sales, and increases in the mortgage rates, then you may see an increase.
The key is in the money supply. If it shrinks- then they will increase it. If it increases then they will keep it the same.

No change, but I suspect a possible 50 basis point increase on the Oct. 24th meeting.

I say, no change too. Bernankie?...ok, our fed, realizes we need time for the past increases to take effect. Commodity prices are coming down, consumer is spending less, and housing may go in the dumps.....its time to sit back and see "whz'up".....;-)
