  3. No, fed will keep rates unchanged at 2. The Economy is falling a part and a hike would be risky.

  1. Rate cut is a moot point, imo. No one qualifies for a loan or credit and no one has any savings.

    Not much down room to go.

    Maybe cut a bit more, than keep steady, then raise extremely slow.

    Be very surprised that Coward Bernacke will jack rates quick to contain inflation.

    Commodities and energy will continue their metoric rise to save the banks.

    Its all about saving the Banks.

    PEace.

  3. Does opening the discount window to Freddie, Fannie count?
