    2020 they will possibly raise rates from 0-0.25% to 0.25%. Why do I even bother with this shit anymore? I reached my stacker target about 2 years ago and have moved on. I check market prices etc most days, but I Don't bother reading much stuff any more concerning PM's.
    Everything is rigged, it's all a scam. Life goes on, I have my 'insurance' policy which isn't in government hands.
    When the next big economic crisis occurs I will take more of an interest but until that time I will be doing other stuff. :)

    Sure can, a recent feasibility study in the US suggested that rates would need to be between -3.0% and -4.0% in order to respond to a total collapse of the stock market. The study also suggested that when below -1.0% there would be to much incentive to pull cash out the bank so a cashless system would need to be put into place prior. It was also pointed out that a cashless system would only work if majority of the major economies went cashless at the same time otherwise US citizens would most like continue cash transactions in Euros or another currency. It's interesting to see the global push now towards everyone going cashless following this study.

    Damn it!

    I was reallly hoping Yellen would raise rates a little to send some shock into the system.

    Now we gotta wait until October for gods sake!!!

    She has to appear confident regardless of the current situation as the Fed has a mandate to tighten fiscal policy. She could very well know that the Fed is closer to loosening policy, but would never admit it as the markets need at least the perception that the Fed is in control.

    I think they made a mistake in not raising rates this time.
