Do you think this is good, or that they’ll just f**k things up?

Any thing worth doing is worth overdoing, so they’ll probably add too much liquidity. But if they stretch it out, we’ll end up needing it.

I take back what I said yesterday about the Fed going on vacation.

The Fed obviously doesn't want to lower rates, though, probably because of the dollar.

They've already stretched it out. Hopefully actions like this will prevent the need to lower rates too much in the future, like Greenspan had to do with 1% rates.

Government central bankers to the rescue! How pathetic our “capitalists” have become, pining for the helicopters to drop more liquidity their way and Now!. Of course this can only be bad. Recessions are the beginning of the road to recovery from market distortions or bubbles created by central bankers. Creating another bubble to escape that medicine only makes the ailments worse.

Very bad move. Will only keep dead assets on life support and prolong the inevitable.

The Fed said that the new auction process should “help promote the efficient dissemination of liquidity” when other lines of credit were “under stress.”

What collateral will the banks/mortgage company be offering? The MBS without knowing what they are worth? No, nothing has changed...just kicking down the road...

What worries me is the co-ordination between the central banks. Why did they do this? What do they see/know that requires this? Which banks are under pressure?

I just like to highlight how you obfuscate...you can’t win in the battle of ideas, so you twist and turn...the intelligent posters around here are aware of that fact...

back to your regular scheduled programming...
