The fed didn't cut. It gave banks borrowing at the discount window a break to keep cash in the system and allow them to make their reserve requirements since they were unwilling to lend to each other at 5.25 per cent fed rate.

my 2 cents are that a tsunami of lawsuits from all over the world will land on NYC shores first with rating agencies then with investment banks.

Banks financial institutions and investors lost tens of billions by buying into the financially engineered commercial paper rated AAA or AA only to realize now it is junk.

The music will stop even if interest rates will go to ZERO it is a great credibility issues that will haunt the US for a long time
