Stuart Varney put this question to Shah on Wednesday's edition of Varney & Co on Fox Business. And, in typical Shah fashion, our intrepid Chief Investment Strategist said - through a laugh - that he was hoping for a sell-off... because it would create a ["buy the dip" opportunity](.

We've written plenty about [why AI stands to benefit from the lowering of rates](. This could very well spur a new AI stock supercycle. As for what this all means for the actual economy... well... Shah also devoted [this week's episode of Buy This, Not That]( to companies that stand to do well if this week's rate cut turns out to be "too little, too late" from the Fed. We'll just have to wait and see there.
