As a sign that the credit crisis has eased significantly for the time being, Overnight Libor has dropped to its lowest levels in years to 0.73125%. After spiking to 6.43% at a time when the Fed Funds Rate was at 2% on September 16th, and then spiking to 5.09% again on October 9th, O/N Libor is now below the 1% Fed Funds Rate. Let's hope it stays that way!
The richest one percent of this country owns half our country's wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own.
