  4. 3 day temporary repo injection.
    Fed Funds now down from 5.25 to 5.00 so the FED probably over did it a bit.

  7. and Paulson was proactive to identify the upcoming problem Greenspan created with his helicopter monetry policy.

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/ma...30/ccview30.xml

    The top brass will meet every six weeks, combining the heads of Treasury, Federal Reserve, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and key exchanges.

    Mr Paulson has asked the team to examine "systemic risk posed by hedge funds and derivatives, and the government's ability to respond to a financial crisis".

    "We need to be vigilant and make sure we are thinking through all of the various risks and that we are being very careful here. Do we have enough liquidity in the system?" he said, fretting about the secrecy of the world's 8,000 unregulated hedge funds with $1.3trillion at their disposal
