  2. They're assuming that Fed Funds futures will trade at the "120" handle. In that case, they may be "right". :cool:

    Bernanke won't even lift the rest of the 25bps interest on reserves to get the futures at 99.99, frigging inflation hawk

    You gotta wonder how the economy ever survived before credit cards. Oh yeah, people actually had to save money before they bought something. Go figure :confused:
     
  5. haha Sad bud true. There are now generations who don't even understand that concept, it has never been necessary. Credit card offers shoved down your throat...keeping up with the Joneses.

    I guess that means rising employment won't lead to big credit card profits either, lol.

    However, there is some common sense left on Wall Street:

    "CEO Jamie Dimon put it bluntly:

    'When unemployment goes up, so do chargeoffs for credit cards. When house prices decline, chargeoffs go up. When both happen, it gets even worse.'"

    Lol.
