The Fed will further devalue the dollar just to cover today's debacle for 48 hours
Edited on Mon Sep-29-08 04:06 PM by Kurt_and_Hunter
Today's asshole party on Capitol Hill will result in printing more bales of money here and in Europe, and an emergency rate cut that will push the $USD down another notch and thereby increase the price of dollar denominated commodities. (In relative terms... commodities are cratering in expectation of a global depression.)

And for what? Just to cover congress's ridiculous fucking ass for 48 more hours.

Today's very orderly market action was the merest re-positioning, since the street expects the bill to pass in a few days.

But even tody's mild action removed more than one TRILLION dollars from the US economy.



And these Representatives are taking tomorrow off because it's a religious holiday? Incredible.
