At present, we have obtained four observations of the current outburst of XTE J1550-564 with RXTE. The observations occurred on 27 March (2.2 ksec, 3.5 ksec), 29 March (2.9 ksec), and 30 March (1.9 ksec). Strong flaring, on several time scales, was observed in the light curves of all four observations. In the combined power spectrum of the four observations this shows up as three broad components; around 0.02 Hz (fractional rms amplitude of 28%), 0.5 Hz (25% rms), and 2.5 Hz (25% rms).
