Round table economics discussion - 2009-11-05

In this episode of the Optimistic Bear round-table economics discussion our regular panel (Kevan, Elliot & Jeremy) discuss the Federal Reserve's decision to keep interest rates unchanged, and whether their hands are tied by the direction of the Treasury Bill markets. We also ponder the morality of "walking away" from properties that are worth substantially less than the mortgage, even when a home-owner is able to continue making payments.
