<<Query: If credit growth is slowing along with the general economy, what reason does the Fed have to increase the monetary supply in the manner it has recently?>> To make the dollar carry trady more profitable for all of BubbleBoy's bankster buddies?<G/NG> Clearly, lower rates aren't benefitting J4P in any meaningful way any more. They aren't stimulating capital spending and they aren't inducing the banksters to increase C&I lending. I don't think there's a valid case from ANY perspective to keep lowering ST rates for the next 3-4 months, minimum (although the geniuses on CNBS will continue to say "...and of course, we'll have more Fed cuts in August to 'stimulate the economy'").

Consumers & real estate lag the economy... Consumers tightfistedness will continue as they realize (baby boomers) they can't retire in the next couple of years after all... because of the stock market crash. So, they will soon start to tighten their belts & save like beavers... while they can... Regards, Peter
