FEDS GOOSE THE ECONOMY...TICK, TICK, TICK

[Whirlaway]

Things must be alot worse than anyone imagines........the QE 3 will not help Obama's re-election chances since the fed action is coming too late in the election cycle...

Things must be a whole lot worse than most of us realize.

The feds are creating another bubble. The Federal Reserve is inflating the stock market the same way the housing market was inflated. When the interest rates go up, and they will go up, the market will collapse. As long as the collapse is after the election, Obama won't care; as a matter of fact, that may be what he wants.

[Whirlaway]

Yes...but why ?

The stock market was doing fine without QE 3......there is more to their actions than inflating wall street.

They must have metrics that say the banks are in a whole lot worse shape than most realize.

What kind of security detail does Bernanke have around him?

Does he have Secret Service protection, or the like?

[Whirlaway]

Basically the Feds have committed to buy up all the debt (bonds) that the market can't absorb.....something isn't right............and come January we hit our debt ceiling.....another round of debt negotiations........

it isn't looking good for America...............

If this scheme doesn't boost employment; it will tell you the economy is in terrible terrible shape.

Oh good. Phew. I thought I was the only one with a spidey sense tingling. I will say this.... I've got a position open on GG and it went straight up today. I think I'm ahead about 20%. Should I take it and run? (I've got a short call against it) or let it ride up on the delta? What to do, what to do.

LK, I wouldn't offer you investment advice. The only thing ive made money in is real estate..I usually lose my ass on most others investments....

It depends on how greedy yu want to be and your sense of timing.

Personally I will be making my decision tomorrow.


I am taking a hard look at bank stocks to see where they are headed.

Well if they legalized providers instead of wasting money on stings..... Problem solved.. I mean come on we are in a hard place and it WOULD take a hell of a person to drag us out of this pit fall I hope we are able to SOLVE not AVOID our debt with whom ever is elected it will take more than a one hit wonder to get the job done that is for sure.
