The DOW's down 300+ at the moment.

Is this more market manipulation? Arm-twisting by TPTB saying: "until the [s]bailout[/s] taxpayer investment opportunity is passed, your investments will continue to evaporate."

one of the best rumors i've heard about the bail-out of the week, is that it's to make sure that the banks that normally buy T-bills at Fed auctions, have enough money to continue doing so through 2009.

the Dow falling to 8000/ 6000, we can handle.

has the US government ever tried to borrow money by selling their debt instruments, and not had a buyer ?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('AlexdeLarge', 'I') have heard no one say this bailout will stop the recession, but maybe it will stop a depression.

Banks don't have to hold ANY reserves (was 10%)...this is free money for the gobbermint...say hello to $1000 bills...

[smallpoxgirl]

We are so screwed.

Just for the sake of clarity, it doesn't drop the reserve rate to zero, but it gives the fed the freedom to do so. Still though, it's bad.

[oiless]

Canada has had 0% bank reserve rate for many years.
I keep waiting for it to blow up in our faces.
To listen to the media up here you would think the place was a bastion of prudent banking...

[HEADER_RACK]

Interesting to say the least.

I've seen that all week. It means there is unlimited money supply creation potential as well as cash shortages at your bank.

This is a strange time we live in. If you can borrow money for a wild idea to make a quick buck, you could potentially become rich while this lasts. Banks have unlimited cash to lend for it for the time being.
