Be glad you're not in Europe, where NIRP all around has become the reality. It is downright terrifying, ultimately this will trigger the biggest financial crisis in history. 2008 and the euro crisis of 2011 will look like the proverbial walks in the park by comparison.

And before we leave, is noone else somewhat worried about what exactly it is that The Fed is panicking about that prompts them to jawbone the odds of a 50bps rate cut this aggressively with stocks at record highs? |
