The FEDs meet on Wednesday: What's your prediction... 25 or 50 points? (Page 1/13) madcurl OCT 30, 07:07 PM I'm guessing .25 on Wednesday and a rally in the stock market. On the other hand, they might not do anything and the U.S economy implodes, hehe. fieroX OCT 30, 07:12 PM its going to implode anyway, as soon as Hilarious Cliton gets elected. pokeyfiero OCT 30, 08:03 PM quote Originally posted by fieroX: its going to implode anyway, as soon as Hilarious Cliton gets elected.

Realistically I think it will be a quarter point. If there is a half point drop again then we really have to worry for things to come. madcurl OCT 30, 08:16 PM quote Originally posted by Hank is Here: I would hope for no change since last time I thought a half point was too drastic.

I agree. 1/2 point would indicate something is really, really bad and 1/4 would indicate we're not out of the woods yet. ryan.hess OCT 30, 08:25 PM 1 USD = 0.25 CAD fierobear OCT 30, 08:28 PM I'm hoping for a half point. The housing market is taking a beating, and could use the stimulus of lower mortgage rates. jetman OCT 30, 10:34 PM quote Originally posted by ryan.hess: 1 USD = 0.25 CAD Can the fed really drop rates with the US dollar in a steady decline? Ryan's sarcasstic humor has ring of truth to it, abiet frightening. Wichita OCT 30, 11:32 PM No change! The dollar is way too low! Putting more dollars in the market is just going to make it worse. Screw the mortgage industry! There's always apartments to rent. Why bail out people and companies that made terrible loans to people for over inflated houses out in the coast at the expense of having everything else go way up in prices due to inflation and people's pay wages not keeping up.
