Timing is the question, they rarely do something as quick as the media pundits try to suggest

Buddy in finance just texted me that they're looking at COVID level rates. Possibly even going below 2%.

That's what is being contemplated it appears. An emergency 25 and then a planned 50 in Sept.

There's no way they're that stupid, or at least I hope they're not that stupid.

That isn't going to work and may make things worse (i.e. cause more unwinding of this $20T Yen carry trade that is what is currently exploding)

I'm "in finance" too and I think your buddy is full of poo-poo.

Sorry, blood needs to be spilt until we stabilize this shite. Cutting rates bail out the banks and causes more inflation.

He does work for Edward Jones and I don’t know enough to understand why that would be an issue. I was just -asking along a text from our group chat this morning.

I am not saying anything particular about your friend, but Edward Jones has a reputation in the industry.

They will hire anyone off the street, no degree required. Will give them the 2-week crash course on selling "financial instruments" to your family and co-workers that basically provide the company with the largest fees possible. They even charge new hires fees to take their training. These guys are purely salesmen, not financial advisors.

I am sure like in any business there are good ones out there, but they have a reputation for that reason.
