Is there someone here who is knowledgable about what has been going on? I think I have heard of at least three cuts made recently. In the past two weeks when things started looking bad, what cuts (or increases) have been made? I need help just sorting this information out. Thanks.
Was wrong... it was debunked as soon as it came up. Onevoice just bumped it up to get some attention, is all. It feeds off of attention. Think of onevoiceofreason as Gollum and attention in any form is the precious...lol.
HAHAHA!!! OMG, so funny! I can just picture him/her as Gollum, hunched over a keyboard, lovingly stroking it, on the slopes of the mountains of Mordor ........ LOL!
If I had any artistic ability whatsoever, I would make a drawing just like that, and post it here! Well, maybe not --- but it would be hilarious! But also sad.
Thanks for your insights into this online Gollum; I have a bit of pity for him/her now. So sad, that that is how a person finds satisfaction in life, or attempts to.
I do not remember if the real Gollum, was naked and had no visible wanker either...like this one.

In the movies, had a loincloth kind of thing. Actually, it really creeped me out --- whoever drew/created it did an oustanding job!
But I can just see OneVoice as Gollum, clutching his laptop in one hand and his tattered (and soon worthless) Citicorp stocks in the other ........ LOL!
Sounds like we have an adult comic book in the making. I say run with it!
this freak is serving up a lot of good material.

The sad part is that the internet has given people like this complete freedom to dump on the rest of us. There is no social recriminations for he/she in this format. For instance, in reality they would be laughed at or beat on... on a forum, however, they are free to prey on the people they need to keep the cycle going without any repercussions. Which makes it worse for them later when they have to deal with it, if they ever indeed do...
Yes, it is a mess.
The real screwed up part is that the person we are talking about is probably signed off but still reading... blah.
In Japan was an experiment. Japan could affort to screw around since it has reasonable amounts of sovereign wealth and at the time had a positive trade imbalance. Also the societal patterns of spending are different. The negative rates essentially extended the recession for a couple of extra years, which is why they backtracked on it.
Correct me if I am mistaken, but there was NEVER a negative inflation rate in Japan for consumer goods or in general prices, was there? I never heard of such a thing! In property, yes, but across the board?
People who use the word "deflation", I have found, like to throw it around in a general sense when it actually only applies to a narrow and specific part of an economy. I think the idea that we could be facing general price deflation in this country, under the current monetary regime, to be laughable and absurd.
A 1% or Zero % interest rate would only mean a massive expansion in the money supply and more easy credit, thus a massive inflationary push which would debase the "FRN dollar" into a territory of near negative value: hyper-inflation. Such pushes of the FED only delay an even bigger "bust" by seeking to artificially creating another "boom". In such a case the "pain" may ease for a while, but the "hole" being dug for this country would be far deeper.
The dollar strengthened broadly on Monday, extending gains into a fourth session as investors unwound large bets in commodities to square up positions across a range of asset classes ahead of the end of the first quarter.
nice copy and paste :-) You don't know jack squat. It's useless even discussing with you because you aren't even interested in learning. Guess who those investors are that were dumping their assets of real value...........and guess what the position is they are squaring up for.
No use talking to TardBoy there. He's been watching too much tv and smoking citigroup stock to understand larger implications of things like 1% interest rates....especially when the usd is the world reserve currency.
Please state the time that something is being shown. Now can mean anytime and it's usually too late when we actually tune in. It also helps to state Central, Eastern or Pacific time.
an actual 3.5 percent rate cut would have been interesting. Hell why not? Didn't Japan have a negative rate at one point, and people just stop using their bank because it became a joke?
Wow, anyone notice how calm

really
both the markets and the dollar were up today and oil fell as well
bull-ony
3/4 of 1 percent
that
that is the correct amount
Remember, it was 1% when
Remember, it was 1% when Reagan was in office.
During the Reagan Administration
The FED funds rate was never below 6%, it was as high as 19% (1981).
1
1% would be great
what about negative rates

like in Japan?
or better yet, let's just scrap this whole cash thing and put the money on electronic chips.
Have you gotten yours yet? :)

Not a 3.5% cut -- a 0.25% cut.
A .75% was due to take place on the 18th. The is common knowledge.
Settle down Gilga. It's going down but your not going to have to eat coal tonight so quit freaking people out.
