The perception that banks are unstable is what could cause the run. Joe Shmoe knows nothing about solvency, liquidity and CDOs. All he hears is that banks, where his savings is, are in trouble.
Rate cuts mean nothing to Joe and won't change a thing overall. Nothing more than a shot of oxygen for the mkt. Bernanke knows exactly what the effect is. It was to save the market from crashing and hopefully to project a strong market.
But it won't hold and they can cut to zero, like BOJ, and get nowhere doing it.

Yes. Exactly.
