Past interest rate cuts have only mollified the market for a few days at the most. I wonder how long this rate cut will mollify the markets?

I would be unsurprised to see outright buys of preferred stock as a recapitalization mechanism.
I would also be unsurprised if we eventually see negative interest rates in order to pump up the banks.

I guess it gives the short sellers(back in play today) a bit of a boost.They can short stocks again,rate cut makes stock go higher,only to fall again,shorts make money on the downside.Great idea if your TRYING to kill what's left of the market.The stock market dropping so much is the only thing it had ,to fend off short sellers.
At least it'll give me a good chance to unload my crap.

At least they did it before our markets opened. Buy, buy, buy. Energy and financial shares will skyrocket.

well, they did a good job of crushing an up day on Wall Street. The futures were up about 178 points until this announcement. Now they are only 40 points up and heading down.

DOW is up 37.
We’re saved.
Happy days are here again.
More bailout! More pork for Congress.
We’re in the money, we’re in the money.

This news release should have read......
The Federal Reserve reduced its benchmark rate to 1.5 percent in a coordinated move to further shaft retired individuals, living off fixed income portfolios, and assure a Obuma presidential win.
FYI, About 4:00 a.m. this morning the DJIA Futures where down 330 points. The DJIA opened down 180 points, now it’s up 140.

The former owners of stocks don't like the bailout and the possibility of an Obama, Pelosi, Reid controlled government.
