  • If Gross says that then there is something wrong. He did not say it before when he had the inside information and front run the FED.

  • Now that the Fed is the second largest holder of Treasuries (after China), I think we know where this is going. One third of U.S. consumers do not have the credit scores to borrow at any cost and housing may well collapse the banking system anyway. The dollar is a dead man walking. Interesting that gold is down this morning.

  • And this will create what kind of jobs?
    Who doesn't want to borrow at 2.5% when average has been 8%? Would 2.25% create an incentive to do more? NO!!!!
    This is all about trying to create liquidity for assets since money supply is stuck in glue.

  • I agree with "The Geoffster". FED quantitative easing is very necessary. I also agree with "Geoge Soros" about CINA. A new cooperation between USA and CINA is very necessary to save the global economy and reach a new balance point. New Global Economy must base on USA & CINA. A moore stable economy needs 300 millions of US people, but also 1.000 millions of Cinese people.

  • "to keep borrowing costs down" I add, for those who can get credit.

    I bet Mr. Bernanke that he CANNOT find anyone who buys/finances anything just because the rate goes down 1% from here.
