fed debt monetization (QE) has to continue because no-one can afford to fund US spending and debt
Submitted by hooligan2009 on 07/20/2013 04:10 -0500fed purchases of treasuries are a book entry between two government departments.
treasuries with coupons and maturity dates are withdrawn from the market and exchanged for zero perpetual bank notes.
QE is simply an exercise in the government (via its agency the fed) swapping a prior borrowing decision and printing bank notes instead of borrowing from the market (foreigners) to finance its debt mountain and spending plans.

Blowback from Arming the Free Syrian Army
Submitted by OC Money Man on 07/14/2013 21:50 -0500Foreign warriors associated with the al Qaeda's branch in Iraq and Lebanon assassinated Kamal Hamami, also known as Abu Bassir al-Ladkani, a senior member of the Supreme Military Council of the Free Syrian Army (FSA). Once seen as a popular uprising of the Syrian people, foreign jihadists now dominate rebel forces battling the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The killing comes as the Obama Administration and the CIA are doubling down covert weapons shipments to prevent the government from crushing the rebellion.

Financial Stocks Don't Believe Bernanke: Here Is Why
Submitted by inthemoneystocks on 07/11/2013 12:31 -0500The big banks love Ben Bernanke for the free money they have had over the last few years. They have been the direct recipients of his QE policy and the companies that have benefited the most. Yet, Bernanke's dovish tone (print more money statements) yesterday has not seen the large financial stocks like JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) and Wells Fargo & Co (NYSE:WFC) rally. While the whole market is up sharply higher, JPM and WFC are both flat to lower. Does smart money not believe Ben Bernanke?
FIFA 14 – Precision Movement
Submitted by James Pike on 07/09/2013 02:24 -0500FIFA 14 will introduce a variety of new systems, and one of the most crucial is the Precision Movement mechanic that, according to EA, will change the way players move on the pitch. EA's decision to implement "Precision Movement" goes a long way to ensure extreme pace and superhuman agility is solely left to the elite.
The way that players move and interact has changed in FIFA forever with momentum and foot planting now all calculated on a step by step basis rather than caned animation sequences. It's incredibly impressive tech and it's coming to current-gen consoles.

Best Financial Newsletter or Service
Submitted by thepixelpusher on 07/04/2013 14:26 -0500Who has the Best-Performing Financial Service for those of us that aren't Day-Traders?
I'm no expert on stock buying or minute-to-minute day trading, so is there is any service out there that can help me to pick equities, commodities, etc? I suspect we're coming to a point where things could turn to the downside in a big way and I'd like to benefit from what could be a once in a lifetime event. I have a small retirement savings and I'd dearly love to add to it.
