The Fed is impotent. The consumer is tapped. Poor Wall Street is caught in the middle.

A new study finds that bigger monitors make people more productive.

Researchers at the University of Utah tested how quickly people performed tasks like editing a document and copying numbers between spreadsheets while using different computer configurations: one with an 18-inch monitor, one with a 24-inch monitor and with two 20-inch monitors. Their finding: People using the 24-inch screen completed the tasks 52% faster than people who used the 18-inch monitor; people who used the two 20-inch monitors were 44% faster than those with the 18-inch ones.

Buy the biggest ones you can, Anderson tells us. “Size matters,” he adds.

Rate cuts and liquidity injections have not worked. It is time for the hail mary.
