Default Re: ING Direct vs Emigrant Direct Bank

Yeah, ouch. But in my defense, I was referring to the Fed funds rate. Now if the Fed cuts rates than I will gladly take my 10 lashes.

There could be several reasons why an individual bank drops its rates. My guess is ED has gotten a major inflow of deposits recently due to its relatively high interest rate and its recent software upgrade. They probably need to back off a bit to digest all these new funds.

Hopefully E-LOAN doesn't suffer the same fate. Hey, everyone, avoid E-LOAN, will ya?
