This would prompt an entirely new round of refinancing and new home loans
and make saving practically worthless. With money market accounts earning interest below the inflation rate
consumers would be prodded to spend or invest the money instead of let is sit. The hope would be to
stimulate another wave of consumers withdrawing equity from real estate and seeing that money begin to
circulate instead of being tied up in property.

Wow...Somebody is not very confident in our rally potential. They accumulated a 50,000 contract position in the Oct-80 DJX puts at around $5 today. This is a huge $25 million bet that the Dow will be below 8000 by expiration in October. This bet could just be that it will drop below 8000 sometime soon or at anytime between now and October 18th.
