Another Fed Rate Cut, Hopefully the Last for Now
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008
Today the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate 50 basis points to a new rate of 3%, the lowest since 2005. Personally, I think it is an overreaction, but I do like that the fed has remained proactive under Bernanke.
This doesn’t mean a lot for the average person, though if you are looking for [...]

To be fair, I think that number deserves an asterisk (at least a small one) because I came down with a cold over the weekend and [...]
