In February, we noted our view that Kevin Warsh was the right Nicholas Lentini, CFA

choice to fortify market credibility for the Fed, a critical element EquityNick.Lentini@morganstanley.comStrategist +1 212 761-5863

for the eventual success of the administration's plan to grow out

of the debt problem. The rally in S&P/Gold is supportive of that

view as is last Wednesday's FOMC meeting.

• Short-Term Pain for Long-Term Gain...We continue to view the Warsh

nomination and subsequent appointment as a market-stabilizing event even

if it leads to some short-term turbulence. Following on from a note we

wrote in February, the roughly 40% rise in the S&P 500/Gold ratio since his

nomination reinforces our view that markets are giving him the benefit of the

doubt. Specifically, we think markets are signaling that Warsh can shake up

the Fed, reduce reliance on the balance sheet as a policy tool, and help re-

establish confidence in policy makers. Last Wednesday's price action

suggests that transition is off to a good start, but could be a bit messy for

stocks in the short term alongside the initial reaction of a sharp bear

flattening of the yield curve, a stronger dollar and weak precious metal

prices.
