The Federal Reserve on Tuesday cut interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point, its seventh rate reduction this year, and signaled it was poised to do more to bolster a flagging economy. The Fed action brought the federal funds rate, a benchmark for short-term lending rates throughout the economy, to 3.5 percent, its lowest level since spring 1994.
:confused: where are we headed?

It is a scary scenario....
Everyone I talk to says that the economy will be back up in the next 6 months or so... They have been saying so for a year now... Don't see the "next" six months anywhere near.... :(

There he goes again. If you really do not know the facts, stay away from them. Don't let your inferority complex eat you.
There are no claims, just facts. So stay away from them.

Back on topic:
Is this good or bad? Last time they cut the rate by just a quarter point, the Wall Street saw it as a good sign as they interpreted this cut as positive. I mean they thought that this was good as the FED did not think that the recession was still on in fulls wing...
What do you read into this latest cut now???
smellyfinger
August 21st, 2001, 12:23 PM
Its not the FED rate cut, but the downturn in the economy has led to a steep increase in wife beating cases.
Conversations in several redneck households have gone like this .. "Honey .. can I buy 2 more pairs of those see thru tights?"
"No. you stupd ^#&@@#". "And why not .. I'm gonna buy them".
"Take that .. dishum dishum"

eNRI,
Again, I am not an economist nor do I claim to understand it very well. Inferences about talks that I overhear are one thing and proper deductions are something else.
If you are really interested in what my dad does, you wouldn't have asked something like this just out of the blue.

moreover, from the recent happenings it is also apparent that it has led to an increased number of gang rapes.

Sutradhar/echarcha, I fully understand your anger at this post from videsee. Infact, as a moderator he has more responsibility of keeping the discussion on track but instead he is one of those who will screw up a thread by digressing. On top of it, videsee is elder than most of us and from his age we expect both maturity and restrain, but he has failed to display any.
I support you in whacking this guy and more so because you did not prefer to remain quiet just because this guy is a moderator and a sister site host. Good job!! :up:
For Super Girl, I think you bragged about your dad being an economist in another post (don't know if he really is or not, because it doesn't take much to invent careers or wages :D). So, the question was very much in line of discussion and your response seems very much self made and not coming from an econmist worth a name. Just my opinion, you certainly have the right to disagree.

My DEAR anaadi,
First off - I am NOT a moderator on echarcha! Whatever gave you that idea??:D :D :smash:
The reason I stepped in and gave YOU a whack was because you slyly tried to poke fun at Super G! And being as you said elder than you, I felt it necessary to spank you:D . Hehehehehe. Kaisee lagee??
Lastly, my degree of maturity doesn't need sanction from YOU!
Learn to respect others, especially the fairer sex and you will NOT get this treatment from me. Warna SPANK SPANK:D
P.S. Interestingly, you keep bleating about personal attacks but indulge in them whenever it suits you eh?

eNRI,
Read my posts before passing a judgement. I have clearly said that I do not claim to be an economist nor do I have delusions about being one. I say what I infer from overhearing conversations. You just seem to have a huge grudge against me, which you want to vent somehow. It seems the first analytical comment I made about you about being pseudo really did hit home.
Secondly nobody is inventing careers nor bragging about it here. I have a right to feel proud of my dad - he rose from a very bad situation in life which was thrust upon him since early childhood and went to become a Ph. D in Statistics and Economics. He is my inspiration to succeed in life. He is the driving force behind my aims and aspirations. If you heard his life hsitory, you would know what I am talking about. He is 60+ today and he did all this when there were no government subsidies nor reservations. Go back in time and read some of my first posts on eCharcha and you will realize I am not talking BS and that all this is a fact and not fiction.
Sometimes I think that you are so laden with an inferiority complex that you cannot bear to see anyone who seems to have it better than you. So you want to degrade the person to suit your means.
Grow up, eNRI and learn to live in the world.

Folks, first of all let me clear somethings.
I usually go to the last post of a thread to quickly see what is going on. Now I saw that wife beating thing and instinctively asked what does wife beating have in common with Fed rate cuts. So it was not about getting pissed off by videsee.
Whether videsee is a 90 year old man or a 25 year old college kid does not matter to me. I find him quite intelligent and cool.
ENRI, you too seem to be a cool dude but feels like you have something to say and are not saying it or are unable to say it without being a little harsh about it.
eNRI, please discontinue attacks on Super Girl and others.
To all other folks, please try not to single out eNRI. He may be hating India but then the beauty of our Indian system and democracy is that we all have our own opinions and have a free right to speak them out.
Just that dont take this freedom to air personal attacks on anyone here.
Please folks, lets not convert eCharcha.Com into a wrestling arena for taking potshots and below-the-belt punches at each other.
I felt like deleting all irrelevant posts in this thread but really dont have the time to do it. Remember I just got a project which is really hectic and I intend to keep the project. Just like you all are busy with your work, so am I ... So please lets not create non-sense and make mountains out of small molehills.
Hope this clarifies it all.....
