The Fed Is Out of Tricks, and Down we will Go

The Fed has cut interest rates effectively to zero. But that won’t solve the problem. If you are out of a job or your company is heavily indebted and running in the red, the bank won’t give you a loan.

I'm debt free with a paid for home with income flowing in + 20% bonus.

Thanks AT&T!

More alarming is that the company paid out total dividends in 2019 of roughly $14.9 billion on net income of just $13.9 billion. It gives the stock a dividend payout ratio that is above 100%, and that could indicate dividend payments do not rise in the future, or even worse, perhaps fall.

As Randall Stephenson’s planned his glorious retirement next year is beginning to look more like former General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt’s more ignominious exit. with the highest long-term debt load of all at $165.1 billion of any comoany in US, and a looming recession, paying out more than half of their net earnings to shareholders does not look so good after ALL.

Did you complain about "Randy the Rat" and "Stinky Stankey" yet?

the rest of us suffer

Yeah, you're suffering so much from the Fed's actions that you haven't given a single example of injury.

I know the economy is important but I’m just too busy trying not to contract the virus or infect my loved ones. First let’s try not to die. Then we can worry about the rest.
