Fed Cuts Interest Rates and Horsehead Holding Corp. (ZINC) Expands

Tuesday’s session saw an emergency Fed cut by 75 basis points to thwart an economic recession. The debate continued as to whether the move was enough or timely but the panic action could signify a near term bottom to the action with the Fed’s scheduled meeting next week acting as an additional catalyst. With overall market sentiment in mind, a wise trader will look for areas to hide their cash until a confirmed bottom can be seen. Long term investors saw the early morning session as a bargain sale, picking up some extremely cheap names from the opening panic selling.…

Fed Emergency Rate Cut

The Federal Reserve slashed the Federal funds rate 75 basis points, from 4.25% to 3.5%, in a surprise move ahead of their scheduled meeting next week.
