Once again, the entire world tuned in for the Fed-sponsored dog and pony show this week. As usual, the Fed’s meeting managed to slow market activity before the FOMC decision, and then (drum roll please)…

The decision was in: Another quarter rate cut. Surprise, surprise. It’s only the seventh rate cut in seven months. Considering unemployment is on the rise, the housing market is still in decline and the credit crisis choking both businesses and individuals – the Fed’s decision was no real shocker to any of our experts.

As Eric said on Monday, “It’s lunacy to believe the Fed has reached the end of this monetary easing cycle. In fact, I am projecting the Federal Funds rate will head to at least 1% or maybe even 0% before this bear market is over in 2009.”

But could the Fed take a break from cutting at the next meeting? Or even more importantly – does it even matter? The dollar has already lost 12% since the Fed started cutting rates (not counting this week’s modest dollar gains). Even if they take a breather at the next meeting, the damage has already been done.

Fortunately, our experts have some solutions. This week, Sean Hyman introduces two FDIC-insured “anti-dollar” investments to protect your long-term portfolio before the dollar drops more. And Mike Burnick has pinpointed the one country that actually looks to profit from another crisis that’s sweeping the globe.

Until Next Weekend,
