Bloomberg

This, despite robust near 4% economic growth last quarter :roll: . Middle of the road, I suppose.

Oct. 31 (Bloomberg) -- The Federal Reserve cut its benchmark interest rate by a quarter point to 4.5 percent to cushion the U.S. economy from the housing recession that officials predict will extend into next year.

Haha - I'm not a religious person, but your post reminded me of something...

Go!Ben Go! I'm sorry I doubted you buy playing short for your last rate cut (To think I actually thought he was going to hold) but now that I'm long Gold and Oil (in Canadian Dollars) you're the Candy man to me.

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but what's up with this action (Dow, S&P, and NasDaq)

I see there's no need for trading curbs on a 1.5% upswing... :roll:

By January they will lower it another quarter. I am willing to place a bet on that.

Fuck the future, as long as the rich can get richer today.
