I'm trying to figure out what the bailout is...... the short term treasury
rate was 2.79% on Friday and fell to 2.23% today.... thirty year bond rates were
4.23% today and the Fed has overnight rates at 3.5%????? Get
real......
They are badly lagging the credit markets and putting the squeeze on
banks, and thus the whole economy.... a lot of good companies getting clobbered
and lots of 401K's, IRA, Mutual funds......why don't they just let the Market
decide rates.....
My 2% worth....

cycles are of course natural and will keep happening. What I don't like
about "free markets" is that a lot of this sub-prime mess should and could
have been avoided if Washington was up to it.
Banks and other lenders
should be allowed to create all the sub-prime loans they want, but they
should not be allowed to transfer the risk to others by hiding those loans
in packaged securities. That's where sensible regulation can help a great
deal.
I hope something useful comes out of this experience, but having
watched Washington at work, I won't hold my
breath.
