The federal reserves announced today that it has reduced the federal funds rate to zero to 0.25%. This is the lowest since the numbers have been recorded since the 1950s. The fed also pleaged to do everything in its power to stablize the economy and get it moving again as the fear now turns to deflation.
The stock market was certainly pleasantly surprised since the Dow shot up another 150 points (from 100 - 200) after the news.
We are no doubt in a bear market and any good news helps. Let’s hope that this is the beginning of good things to come! My friend predicts that the market will be in 10,000 territory by year end. Let’s hope that he’s right (personally, I would be happy with 9000s)!
