    Can anyone tell me the name of a website where I can find Prime. It's going to start being very important to me with CCs that are based on it.

    Also, how often should I check the website? Monthly?

    Thanks!

    Shantel, here's one URL that reports daily.

    http://cnnfn.cnn.com/markets/bondcenter/shortterm.html

    Remember,most variable cc's reflect the increases in prime almost immediately but start to calculate the decreases only after the statement cycle date.(up to 29 days later)

    JacquiG , FOMC does not meet once a month(more like 8-10 times /year) and the chairman can change rates between meetings if necessary.

    VJ,

    Sorry, just trying to help. Went to the FOMC website - found out they only meet 8 times a year, some are unscheduled. Next time I guess I'll verify before I open my mouth :)
    No harm done?

    I know when it changes, it's announced, but I don't retain that stuff. If I forget (which is what typically happens), it's nice to have a place to go for a "refresher".

    JacquiG,
    If anyone should be sorry its me.I meant no disrespect to you
    and if I hurt your feelings I deeply regret it.

    Its just that I see so much misinformation, bad information and bickering/posturing for position around here lately, I was more sensitive to correcting your post.

    I've always valued and enjoyed reading your posts and encourage you to continue to help others whenever you possibly can.
    No harm done...
