  • 這就為美聯儲(Fed)圈定了市場可能會有的癥狀。今天，美聯儲將開會决定貨幣政策。當它今年9月降息50個基點時，曾引發市場大幅上揚。但是，由於10月僅降息25個基點，導致市場故態復萌：美國股市下跌，信貸再次緊縮。
    This has framed the market's prognosis for the Federal Reserve, which today meets to decide on monetary policy. When it cut by 50 basis points in September, it sparked a huge rally. But cutting by only 25bp in October prompted a relapse, as US stocks fell and credit tightened once more.
  • 不過，美聯儲並不想在市場上誘導“癮君子文化”，也不想表現出自己害怕經濟衰退。看起來，美聯儲最可能開具的藥方是：聯邦基金利率降低25個基點，可能更大幅度降低其貸款給各銀行所依據的較高的貼現率。
    But the Fed does not want to induce a dependency culture in the markets, and it does not want to signal that it is scared of a recession. A 25bp cut in the Fed Funds rate, possibly with a steeper cut to the higher discount rate, at which it lends to banks, looks the most likely prescription.

    For example, many careers, ranging from interior design tofinancial planning, may involve selling your services in addition to performing them.

  • 不過我要給你一條最重要的提醒：很多人會選擇咖啡因而不是小睡，他們完全不會打盹。喝杯咖啡可能更容易、更快、而且在很多方面更容易讓社會接受。工作的時候找個地方小睡一下可能是個難題。研究還表明當决定是要小睡還是進行“吸引人的提神活動”的時候，人們會選擇活動一下。
