Un-Recovery Continues As Beige Book Lives Up To Its Name
In its somewhat typical fashion, the Beige Book was dominated by the four 'M' words 'mixed', 'moderate', 'measured', and 'modest' as any weakness was blamed on fiscal cliff uncertainty (even though macro data and the market itself seems to have shrugged all of that silliness off rather dismissively). Employment conditions were little changed, Real Estate prices rose in 11 districts,and energy sector activity was mixed:
- *FED: TRENDS IN WAGES, PRICES, EMPLOYMENT 'RELATIVELY UNCHANGED'
- *FED REGIONAL BANKS REPORT 'MODEST OR MODERATE' ECONOMIC GROWTH

I AM BORED
Sums up my day too...
uhuh boredom
and how long have you both been feeling this way?
do either of you spend time on the internet visiting blogs?
ahh yes zerohedge and any other blogs or websites?
have you ever looked at porn?
very interesting, now I am required to ask you the following question and I must caution you that if you do not answer it honestly or if I think that you are not being honest in your answer either way I am required by the ACA to include that information in your profile.
have either of you ever owned or had in your posession a firearm of any type?
lost em in a boating accident truth be told....
thanks Mr. Koder duly noted, I don't think there should be any problem but in some circumstances they will dipatch officers just to make sure. Now about this boredom issue, I'm going to prescribe something that may assist and I also encourage you to spend a little less time in cyber space. Let's schedule an appointment for September but in the meantime we're going to put a 'temporary' note on your ACA-dhs profile, which means that you won't be able purchase or have pocession of any class a,b or c firearm or amunition. In addition because of your depression you will be required to undergo a full assessment prior to the temporary note being 'removed'. Have a nice day.
well if u guys want some real excitement,
just go over and watch the Gold and Silver phony paper price trading sideways ALL DAY LONG in spite of Central Banks and the sociopaths who run them scrambling to get their shit back from The Creature From Jeckyl Island....
know thats some entertaining shit..............
How about the Swiss Franc? When they pegged to the Euro remember the price of gold plunged (which makes perfect sense of course):
Euro rises against the Swiss franc"But the move in the franc was sufficient to revive speculation that the Swiss National Bank could take further steps to weaken its currency."

Is anyone surprised by the Beige Book?

Mandates? That is just tradition.
I just took a modest Ben and wiped my moderated Shalom Bernanke
PEOPLE: TREND IN DISPOSABLE INCOME, NOT SO GOOD
I finally figured out the perfect investment; that is guaranteed never to loose money. SHORT THE VIX!
If I were the President, I'd short the VIX, let the Debt Ceiling hit, go into default, and let that cash rollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll on in!
Wait a second, I forget.. is bad news good or bad? Ahh, F it, I'm going to buy the dip.
Eat shit and die Bernanke.
I'm for a more "measured" or "moderate" or "modest" QE. Preferrably, no QE.
Beige... Beige... I think I'll paint the ceiling beige....
I have absolutely ZERO faith in any government produced numbers anymore. The fix was put in many years ago. You have to believe only what you see happening, blatently, with your own eyes.
Get out of Eric Rosengren's way, He has the solution to this modest economy to make it ROBUST. EXPAND QE NOW!
The Fed is the source of all economic strength as they are the PhD messiahs that grace us peons with their wisdom.
FU Bernanke and Board!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Made a mistake today...shoulda kept my TZA and TLT and not BTFD. THe S&P is stalled at resistance and doesn't look like it has the strength to punch through.
Well if the trends are unchanged....then that means we haven't printed enough right Uncle Ben ?
Has to be bullish for stocks right Uncle Ben ?
Sandy is the only reason why the recession isn't obvious.
So as we all expected there is no recovery. The only thing that's been done is halting the crash. The gravity of that future event will fuck every growth prospect until it happens.
Correct. There is no recovery, only massive liquidity inflating the markets. Fear not though, Gravity will win in the end.
Malarkey...madness...mumbo jombo.....muddy waters.
Not sure what this post is about since the beige book was accurate, there was nether an acceralation or deceleration in growth or employment, steady and moderate growth
