If the Fed had to drain to defend 2%
doesn't that mean that money is flowing freely?
TIA

Slosh hasn't been this low (65B) since March 19 2008.

Slosh on 9/18 (190B) was the highest ever.

That's 125B drained in under a week.

I noticed the same thing. One observation is that as in the real economy those that don't need the money can borrow- those that need it cannot....

Good thing Obama and McCain are coming to Washington to fix this....

Not real informed on what the Slosh means. But to me it looks like Berspanke is nailing up the plywood at about the same time the hurricane arrives. Is this the short the phonebook moment we've been waiting for.

Since September it's just gotten colder and colder. There's less daylight now, I've noticed too. This can only mean one thing - the sun is going out. In a few more months the Earth will be a dark and lifeless ball of ice.

This is how the 'Enabling Act Of 1933' is summarized on Wikipedia:


Under the Act, the government had acquired the authority to pass laws without either parliamentary consent or control. Unprecedentedly, these laws could even deviate from the Constitution.

The Act effectively eliminated the Reichstag as active players in German politics, though the existence of the body, alongside that of the Reichsrat and of the office of President were protected under the Act.

Together with the Reichstag Fire Decree, it formed the legal and constitutional basis for the Third Reich


TAKE THE FIRST SENTENCE AND PLACE THE WORDING SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH BAILOUT BILL.

WE ARE BEING THRUST FEET FIRST INTO THE FIRES OF FASCISM RIGHT NOW!!

You wouldn't be trying to intentionally cause a bank failure or two to bolster your call for the $700 billion "bailout" plan, or perhaps intentionally lock the short-term credit markets, would you Ben?


That theory would be consistant with NOT re-implementing the uptick rule, but instead squeezing all the shorts out of financial stocks. Now, when people start selling or trying to sell financial shares, there will be no shorts to cover. This whole thing reads like a Hollywood movie plot.

Bernanke himself revealed the various policy measures the Fed might take in response to a crisis: buying government bonds, providing overdrafts and other short-term credits to banks, currency swaps (to boost the dollar), and "securities lending," that is, lending money to institutions to buy stocks.

KD (and Pika Steph), I think it's time to put you into a safe missile silo or bunker or something. For the sake of us all, please restrict any scuba acitivities, stairs, restaurant food, driving cars, or leaving the house in general until the "all clear" is sounded. Of course the all clear might just sound like a civil defense horn. Well, you will know when it's all clear better than we will.
Just please stay safe. With today's posting, you really concisely pointed at the PTB and their duplicity.

Our elected take an oath to serve. Time to add: “I will not serve in a capacity which I am not able to comprehend or am incapable of by mental defect of any kind, nor will I use the excuse of intellective deficiency if found in violation of this oath/affirmation”, which backs charging wayward politicians with treason.
