The Fed cuts the rate a whopping .75 even though they know it is not going to result in lowering of interest rates or necessarily result in more borrowing.

The only possible result it could have is in lowering the value of the dollar.

But because all of the geniuses out there guessed that the Fed was going to be even more stupid and drop the rate a whole point, now commodities are down and our future is secure!

Putting my money in a mattress is sounding better and better every day.

Well, if you go all the way back to the emergency 25 point drop on Sunday, its a whole point in what, 3 days? But who can remember that far back?
