THe DOW was down 1.7% when the FED announced it but everyone was buying stocks in anticipation for it to cut rates already. I know that the housing situation is really bad, especially here in orange county, california because many people bought a bigger house than they can actually afford but I don't know how much of an effect something like this would have on the economy.

Everything from precious metals to food is rising in value. To combat that the Federal Reserve will then have to raise rates aggressively which would slow down the economy. So the FED made a bad move cutting rates. The DOW was only 1.7% off its all time high when he made the cut in rates. Trust me if our economy and the world economy is so great: 1. Hedge Funds bad decisions shouldn't bring the economy to a crawl 2. A 1000-2000 point move down in the DOW shouldn't kill the economy. Hell 2- 3 years ago people would have killed for the DOW to be that high. I just think the banks are hiding what's really wrong, since this rate cut was so aggressive.

I just think the banks are hiding what’s really wrong, since this rate cut was so aggressive.

The value of the dollar is going down, inflation is going up, and wages well they won't change. ------ Also for a brief moment the Canadian Dollar was worth the same as an American Dollar...who thought that would ever happen?
