2) Fed now likely to reduce main rate by 1% tomorrow
3) Fed breaks four decades of policy by getting involved in Bear Stearns bailout.
4)``Given everything that has happened over the past few days, the market is extremely jittery, with rumors abounding about other banks out there being denied funding,'' said Sean Maloney, a fixed-income strategist in London at Nomura International Plc, a unit of Japan's largest securities company.
