Fed Raises Discount Rate

It may be "different" this time. :eek:

 

dude, nobody uses the discount window

 

You don't want that at all! It would be "best" if it were done during the normal US business session. You don't want foreigners to trade "your news".

 

The rate cuts in response to the 1987 and 1998 crashes signaled huge rallies.

The Volker rate hikes in 1980/81 led to much lower stocks.

 

Are we gonna see "99.50" very soon? :eek:

 

Get ready. The treasury bond bears are headed this way.

 

......"flatteners"........

 

The Fed chairman and the NY Fed president would say thats highly unlikely

 

1) ?.......what's your "real" username?
2) ?......bear markets occur early in the decade, bull markets occur later in the decade. Where are we now? :eek:

 

1) You forgot to include a top executive at Goldman Sachs.
2) In Brazilian/Portuguese, are they called "Bolsa de Oro"?
