I was 10% richer when the year started. It seems that the rate cut did stop what was looking like the envitable, one of the largest percentage drops of the stock market ever. The overseas markets didn't fare as well, such as the Bombay stock market which took the largest drop ever(7%+) or other markets from Hong Kong to Europe which faced the largest single-day drop since the 9/11 attacks. Not sure if it will be able to stave off a recession, but at least it recovered somewhat from the 420+ points the Dow had earlier today.
