In an emergency phone meeting, Monday night, the Fed Cut Rates .75%. The biggest one time rate cut since 1984. The Fed meet before its scheduled January 29th-30th meeting and is expected to cut again at that time. This move all but says we may be in a recession.

The stock market is scheduled to open with its worse drop in recent memory and bad news for Bank of America, reporting it a 95% drop in net income and may call in to question the buy out of beleaguered Countrywide.

If Bank of America does not go forward with the Countrywide buy, Countrywide is all but assured a spot in Federal Bankruptcy court and that would send additional shock waves through the financial markets.

Those with adjustable rates gotta be loving the current rate environment. Those with a home equity line of credit will see their rate decline this month of at least .75%. All the short term adjustable rate indices’s, such as the LIBOR, MTA and CMT will have huge declines today and over the coming months so we will all see our payments going down.
