You don't get it, Softie. If techs fall the way you want them to (and they're already about there) for a prolonged period and everyone just stops purchasing it will cause a world-wide crash. Sure you can buy Kelloggs stock because people will still eat breakfast but the domino effect will criple autos, retailers, housing, you name it. Greenspan cutting rates now offers us all an incentive not to stall purchases for too long. Debts can be paid off cheaper, etc. No reason interest rates should be this high anymore. It's all a matter of priorities. The entire economy needs a Fed cut next week not just techs.

people should not count on a lot of rate cuts to save them in a crash. Right now Greenboy has a choice....save the markets by pumping in liquidity and cutting rates hard which will crash the dollar...or let the markets fall and maybe try to soften the landing a little with a small cut and some liquidity and save the dollar. The global impact of a destroyed dollar is too great...he will let the markets fall in sacrifice.
