Fed will provide as much as $900 billion in loans to banks to break through credit clog
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Federal Reserve will provide as much as $900 billion in cash loans to squeezed banks in an urgent effort Monday to break through a dangerous credit clog that threatens the economy and has unhinged financial markets around the globe.
The Fed's action is aimed at spurring spooked financial institutions, which are hoarding cash, to lend not only to each other but also to individuals and businesses.

Barclays hit my target buy price of 280.
Anything between 260 - 280 is a buy imo.
Apologies for the DOW thread?
Any views... :cheesy:
good purchase i hope atilla ?!
back to the dow. looking at 15 minute chart of the future and the range from 9.00am to now has been approx 10140 to 9855. and its done this twice. the last hour this is slightly less 10100 to 9900. the market seems exhausted and i feel maybe this is the bottom being built. obviously the volatility means day traders can still get mullered but maybe the 9600 level will hold.
yesterday was the sort of day i had mentioned on here a couple of days ago in that some sort of capitulation occured. as i said then i dont believe in overbought / oversold but the bulls have put some sort of flag in and real investors seem to be around. the fed being involved in commercial paper should be a big help. i dont expect a huge rally as the world economy is clearly going to pay for all this but maybe the worst is over in equities. any views ?
ps what happened to all the guys who were all on here every 30 seconds posting all their trades a few days ago ?
I was off sick for two days last week. I'm much better now and can only trade when I get home in the evenings.
I still haven't purchased Barclarys but at 260 it's about as low as I've ever seen it.
Very tempting.
