Wouldn't be surprised to see a 50bp emergency cut to spike the shorts on SPX options expiry day.

Interest rates went from a high of 6.50 in May 2000 to 1.25 in November 2002.

Cutting interest rates is not a fix-all.

Ben Bernanke is one COOL GUY ... !!


Has a way of explaining economics and concepts that make most mere mortals have a " EUREKA " moment - every other sentence -


Alistair Darling has a way of explaining nonsense in such a BAD way - that you just want to throw yourself out the nearest window -

I agree in the sense, that he is good at explaining things to the public, but this guy is a desaster for the markets!!! So far at least !(n)

i think its hard to say a bit as well, who knows, maybe Hank Paulson would do a great job there, hes market savvy of course and has been at the top in finance - but hes probably too " hardcore " for a lot of the general public - whenever you see or hear him, you think of " EXTREME wealth ", Bernanke is a bit more chilled....!!
(and as im sure youve noticed - painfully shy and modest)..
