FED has just gone full retard, and admits it will have to stay full retard. Let the games begin...China loading the canon full of $2 trillion US Treasury notes...FIRE.

Uh-oh, looks like that rate rise didn't materialize, trolls.

You are really fucked now.

Wed, 04/27/2011 - 12:56 | 1212144 bothsidesnow

Since you called me a troll and a moron I need to repsond and if you look at my posts since last Thursday fucktard I recommended and initiated a short hedge position to protect my phsyical position that I entered into yes 5 weeks ago when I joined this site.

I closed by short paper position with a profit of 10% at 9 AM this morning and still have my phsyical.

So how does that make me a moron you fucktard.

You got that straight partner. Gold and silver now catching a strong bid. New highs coming soon.

Hey Dangertime, now what? Grab your ankles and lube up.

Isn't that a blue line or did my red pill reverse the Double neg(-) captha ?

Wed, 04/27/2011 - 12:45 | 1212090 TruthInSunshine

It's blue to The Bernank, because inflation is so low red ink was unobtainable.

This is like Bible study. I always thought the nun was hot.

You'll go to hell for thoughts like that.

I too was a participant.

Thats right because Im going to need to eat them :)

So much for dissent at FED.

Wed, 04/27/2011 - 12:59 | 1212150 oogs66

they are all a bunch of pussies and vote as told

"The economy is very sensitive.

We can't afford any dissident votes...at this time."

"If we don't hang together we will surely hang separately."

"Besides you don't want to be accused of causing a crash in the markets."

Remain short volatility, the dollar, and the future of the USA!!

No mention of QE3. They end in June.

Wed, 04/27/2011 - 12:53 | 1212117 tmosley

Read between the lines.

Wed, 04/27/2011 - 12:54 | 1212121 lolmao500

Yeah but they didn't say they wouldn't do it. And you know they will.

Wed, 04/27/2011 - 12:50 | 1212095 monkeyfaction

Did they just blow the very last chance to save the dollar?

Wed, 04/27/2011 - 12:56 | 1212146 alien-IQ

Saving the dollar was never a consideration. In fact, quite the opposite: the plan is clearly to destroy the dollar. I believe that statement is far past the point of being "theoretical".

Wed, 04/27/2011 - 12:48 | 1212097 Robslob

It takes $15K in gold to hedge $250K in cash...

Shit, better get busy buying or get busy dieing!

Wed, 04/27/2011 - 12:51 | 1212104 SheepDog-One

Exactly, the FED's got nothin except more slow-kill suicide, prepare accordingly.

extended left in, but they actually added the word inflation? seems like stocks had room to rally on this but its not doing much...everyone too long or not short enough...

Wed, 04/27/2011 - 12:54 | 1212122 JohnG

It's transitory......

AMZN on the brink of making new, world record highs, up 5%, while GDX and SIL go nowhere.

Amazing.

Wed, 04/27/2011 - 12:56 | 1212128 oogs66

Raj must be wishing he had inside information so he could have shorted it, then he could argue - see, inside information doesn't always help

Wed, 04/27/2011 - 12:54 | 1212132 tmosley

Uhhh, silver is 8% from an all time high, and gold is at its all time high.

Also, stocks can never be in a bubble. Only precious metals can.

Wed, 04/27/2011 - 12:58 | 1212141 chairsatan

AMZN's move was before the FOMC release and has since done nothing. Silver has moved 1% up since the release.

But, But, But The Margins, The PE !!!

Wed, 04/27/2011 - 12:53 | 1212112 undercover brother

when they mention the word transitory in their statement, are they really talking about inflation, or the Obama presidency?

Wed, 04/27/2011 - 13:04 | 1212165 Corduroy

Neither

It means they do not know if they are pre or post op QE

Wed, 04/27/2011 - 12:53 | 1212114 JPDG

Don't worry, Obama will come out with a reassuring statement about his birth certificate and gay marriage to calm the troubled masses.

Wed, 04/27/2011 - 12:54 | 1212118 AldoHux_IV

Looks like the press conference is going to be a publicity stunt to defend his genocidal actions. In the end, the very fact that this moron is having to go on a media blitz to defend the fed's action wreaks of desperation and the end for these fucktards is nearer.

Spot on. Only Dictators get 99.9% vote...

So true...he is being set up and probably doesn't even know it...that tells you what a Phd in Economics is worth today...

Speaking of red and blue lines, Eric Falkenstein has an interesting piece on CPI/housing data today: http://falkenblog.blogspot.com/

Wed, 04/27/2011 - 12:58 | 1212152 Corduroy

Had to laugh at MarketCrotch

Headline bulletin is "Fed statement brings modest rise to stocks", while news feed headline is : "Fed statement brings slight rist to stocks" ... now even the yes police cannot get the message straight

Bernake came out of his hole, saw his shadow, and we get 2 more months of POMO.

"measures of underlying inflation continue to be somewhat low..."

WTF???

hey, where are the altruistic zh posters who are so worried we silver and gold holders are gonna lose money that they pound the desk telling us to get out?

Wed, 04/27/2011 - 13:14 | 1212209 DavidC

This is another stock market bubble, right? And it is going to burst, right?

At some point, right?

Or is Bernanke really so mad or stupid as to think that hyperinflation is going to be the way out of this, to get people spending again, to prove 'the recovery'?

Is this going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back, where China says 'Here you go, $2 trillion of US assets, we'd rather have the money now than wait for it to fall to zero'?

DavidC

Wed, 04/27/2011 - 13:20 | 1212262 cosmictrainwreck

spend, you bitchez! like you say "prove the recovery". UGH. can anybody (else) remember when rising GDP meant rising raw production, productivity, true value, cash assets, innovation and etc.? I thought I was jaded enough, but still makes me sick

Cut and paste professionalism.

Hey, with word processing, they don't even need secretaries anymore.

Oops. I forgot. It's the secretaries that tell them what words to change!

Wed, 04/27/2011 - 13:19 | 1212250 km4

after's today's FOMC Stmt I'm convinced more than ever that Stockman is right.....

"This is not 1981,this is not 'morning again in America. We have drifted now for 30 years. We're now becoming the banana republic [of] finance, printing -- the Fed, these mad men who are out of control at the Fed are printing -- new money equal to 100% of the debt that we're issuing each month. This will not end well, it's going to end in a disaster."
David Stockman, Nov 2010

My prediction yesterday:

"Place your bets: no meaningful change in the FOMC position, other than perhaps a nod to inflation as something they need to keep an eye on. In a good way, right, FOMC? (Wink wink!)

DOW 13000 hats please, Gold to 1750, oil at 125."

yep.
