Now rates are even lower than they were last autumn, and they may be headed lower still. Lehman Bros., Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank all predict that the benchmark short-term federal-funds target rate--at just 1.75%--will go to 1% by the end of the year as Fed Chairman "Sir" Alan Greenspan (soon to be knighted for his role in the global economy) dons armor against the double-dip recession dragon.
