What will the Fed's interest rate policy mean to you?
Cut of 50 basis points or mote. Economic boom leads to hyperinflation, but stability is restored when China purchases the U.S. for $50 Billion Trillion (4.3 Yuan). Unemployment falls to zero as the population gets jobs in several factories efficiently run by the People's Liberation Army.
Recommended investment: Mandarin phrase book
No cut in rates: Lack of consumer confidence leads to recession, then depression, then complete economic collapse. Bandits and packs of wild dogs roam the streets.
Recommended investments: Canned goods, AK-47, kibble
Cut of 25 basis points: Nothing economically significant happens. Ever again. Until the heat death of the universe.
Recommended investments: Very long duration natural gas futures, blankets.
