QE and the new Fed plan: what are its dynamics?
Submitted by RobertBrusca on 09/17/2012 18:38 -0500We will explore how QE and the new Fed plan might work- might work...So far what the Fed is putting in front of us and what Paul Krugman has written about are two wholly differnt things. It makes me wonder if there is any stucture behind QE besdies prayer...

Mostly bored today, though...
Where We Are and Where We’re Going (Week of September 17 2012)
Submitted by Phoenix Capital Research on 09/17/2012 10:10 -0500
These are the issues to consider going forward. Our view is that it is quite possible the Fed has played its hand too strongly and thereby damaged its future efforts to maintain market stability via intervention. Given that stocks were already decoupled from the underlying economic realities, this has made the market highly vulnerable to a sharp correction.

Spain is Greece… Only Bigger and Worse
Submitted by Phoenix Capital Research on 09/16/2012 19:42 -0500As I’ve outlined in earlier articles, Spain will be the straw that breaks the EU’s back. The country’s private Debt to GDP is above 300%. Spanish banks are loaded with toxic debts courtesy of a housing bubble that makes the US’s look like a small bump in comparison. And the Spanish government is bankrupt as well.
The Fed’s Drugs Won’t Work Anymore
Submitted by Burkhardt on 09/16/2012 16:31 -0500The Fed had been using “QE hype” to rally the markets. Every time we were on the verge of a collapse another QE announcement would be made bringing us a few feet back from the fiscal cliff. But that tactic wont work anymore…
I Go To The NY Fed To Illustrate The Lies Perpetrated By The Fed Chairman Himself
Submitted by Reggie Middleton on 09/16/2012 14:06 -0500Here's proof, pulled off of the St. Loius Fed's site, and espoused in front of the actual entrance to the NY Fed. Methinks I should start my own Financial News Station, called "The Truth"!
There She Blows!!!...................Evil Plan 83.0 (by BDI from Slope of Hope)
Submitted by Tim Knight from Slope of Hope on 09/16/2012 13:59 -0500Well, my fellow Slope-a Dopes, your favorite intrepid seafaring Frenchman got blown out of the water by Benjamin Moby-Dick Bernanke once again. I have to hand it to captain grey beard, for a guy with a curiously quivering lower lip, who seems so utterly unsure of himself every time he opens his moronic mouth, he sure does have some pair of ballistic brass balls. Not only did he delivered on his QE3 promise, but he actually turbo charged it into a terrifying trifecta! Boatswain BDI was left for dead, desperately drowning in a sea of red DOOMs (Deep Options Out of the Money). So now that Moby Dick has breached and surged the equity waves to new highs, where do we sail from here?
Investor Sentiment: That Was A Game Changer
Submitted by thetechnicaltake on 09/16/2012 13:48 -0500Wait a minute, investors can't expect more QE because we already have too much of it already.
