the fed cut the interest rate by 3/4 of a point this morning without even having a formal meeting. i think this means they're trying to stave off a panic.
now there's no ticker on the new york times front page at all. you have to go to the business section to see it. good god, this is fugly. fugly. fugly. fugly.
goldman sachs was the only investment bank who had the foresight to manage their risk. this is scary. risk management is essential to buffer yourself against these types of massive losses. if you don't manage your risks, you're basically just gambling.
nice to know that our money is being managed by licensed gamblers.
