Do you run a business? Do you have cash? Do you know how to respond to these events? Or is the best policy to hide your head in the sand?

off topic means non-red...but movie/media related..
...abit too political for here...

George, I'm guessing the reason it was closed was because on the face of it there was the appearance of being political, while your actual intent seems to have been financial.

Probably a good idea to steer away from anything that even remotely smacks of being political at the moment because on the one side the champagne flows freely while for the other side there is the danger of having salt rubbed in their wounds.

Best to let the euphoria of the champagne wear off and wounds to heal so the salt doesn't cause them to hurt.

Maybe if you had titled your thread something like "Monetary Policy", they would have left it up?

I agree with the OP. 600 billion new dollars is significant enough that ANY business owner should at least pay attention. Owning and using a Red is more often than not a business venture as much as an artistic one.

If the topic is the Fed's decision, then why even bring a right-wing commentator like Glenn Beck into the discussion as the starting point? You immediately politicize an economic/financial discussion.
