A wild news day

The Federal Reserve makes a historic emergency interest rate cut of 3/4 point.

The Dow opens down 460 points, and is recovered to -100 (or better) by 2pm.

Fred Thompson drops out of the presidential race.

Wow.

Goodbye, Fred. The Dow is ahead.
What'll we ever do with the Fed?

The Fed is running out of basis points to cut! We've been on a pretty good economic run since basically 1982 (with short, shallow dips in 1991 and 2001), but I don't think we'll ever be so smart that we can repeal the basic cyclical nature of economics.

I really don't think Heath or Fred had anything to do w/ the dow opening down 439 this morning... but I think the fed might have had something to do with the intraday rally that we saw.

Sal hit the nail on the head, they're running out of ammo...

Besides, as Dave says: the answer to problems doesn't reside in Washington.
