10/12/10 Midnight Report: Fed minutes count down the seconds to QE2
Submitted by MoneyMcbags on 10/12/2010 23:21 -0500It was another quiet day in the market as the expectation of QE2 continues to dominate the headlines like Securities Analysis dominates the insomnia drug market or like Gabourey Sidibe dominates a doughnut (or box of doughnuts to be more precise). The market still can't figure out what to do as investors continue to oscillate between delusion and ecstasy over the Bernanke Put which seems primed to lower real rates until they drop further than Meg Ryan's boobs.

Is Residential Real Estate Recovering?
Submitted by Econophile on 10/12/2010 13:41 -0500There are still huge headwinds facing the residential real estate market.

A Visit to the Insane Asylum
Submitted by madhedgefundtrader on 10/12/2010 10:36 -0500A 2.4% GDP rate added to 0% inflation is giving you the 2.4% yield you see glaring at you from your screen today for the ten year Treasury bond. The market is essentially betting that inflation will remain at zero for another decade. Rampant inflation has already broken out in great swaths of the global economy. What is wrong with this picture?

The Theory of Currency Relativity (A Continuing Expose' of Timmy’s Lies)
Submitted by smartknowledgeu on 10/12/2010 06:03 -0500My theory of currency relativity sufficiently exposes, as frauds and charlatans, Geithner and other Western bankers that have created, as a diversionary tactic to bury the truth, an artificially divisive East-West hostilities among the serfs that inhabit their kingdoms. Despite Mr. Geithner’s attempts to convince the world that the Chinese yuan is insufferably weak compared to the other world’s major currencies, the below charts expose that, well, a fiat currency is a fiat currency is a fiat currency is a fiat currency is a fiat currency.
The Robo-Signing Mess Is Just the Tip of the Iceberg, Mortgage Putbacks Will Be the Harbinger of the Collapse of Big Banks that Will Dwarf 2008!
Submitted by Reggie Middleton on 10/12/2010 06:02 -0500The media is staring at the wrong target. Each major media outlet is copying what is popular or what the next outlet broke as a story versus where the true economic risks actually lie.

Are they right?
Daily FX Retail Trader Contrarian Analysis 12th Oct
Submitted by Pivotfarm on 10/12/2010 01:58 -0500This daily report is designed to help traders find opportunities to trade against this group. The premise is very simple we are looking for 66% of retail traders to be trading either long or short a currency pair, we then look for opportunities to fade (trade against) this group. For example if 72.99% of traders are long the USD/CHF we look for opportunities to short that pair. The pairs that we feel offer the highest opportunity for success are described in the Shortand Long Zones.

Submitted by williambanzai7 on 10/12/2010 00:53 -0500"And in the last analysis, success is what matters--Adolf Hitler"...
