For one thing, the Fed knows how to pick market bottoms very well. For another, the Fed doesn't mind letting the market correct, as long as it keeps the technical higher lows and higher highs bullish pattern intact. Corrections are, therefore, like fuel stations and rest stops along the way.

The Fed knows best, and the Fed is your friend. Relax and enjoy the trip.

The quality of the work you share continues to be TOP Shelf !!! Thanks.

Feel poorer? You mean like the surging food costs to raise a family of 4 since QE2?

Our friend, the Fed that knows best told us not to worry. It's only "transitory". So, just tough it out. Tough times don't last; tough people do. Could be the other way around, but I'm not sure.

Thanks, Darris, and I you.

And, the gray area on the chart denotes the recent recession that's already long gone. We honestly don't need NOTHING.

Rising GDP on declining money stock velocity. I hope this "experiment" by the Fed worked out.

That's enough for me for now. Have a great Saturday night. Yeah, Saturday night's alright for fighting... We're stepping out.

Nice QE chart. The Fed comes in every time the stock market is down 20%. Last yrs twist is the latest example. Ben loves to take credit for the stock bull market and have complete control of it. That's why rumors are already flying about his next QE program when this one is over in June. He considers seniors hoping for some interest on their savings as colateral damage. Get with my program or suffer. And cares very little about rising prices for every day living standards for Americans. Although Ron Paul reminds him of that at every opportunity...

Something is wrong with the twist, they were supposed to sell the 10 and buy the 30 as I understood it.
Neither one went up or down, but the 30yr yeild looks poised to go up, if so, stocks should rally but they
already have. Not sure what to make of this.

Now it begs the question...when will all these stocks bought through QE2+Twist+QE3 will be sold? Will whoever is using that liquidity to buy stocks....will they hold for a long time or short time? May be they will just retire the stocks or shred the certificates and that way no selling becomes necessary?

Man, I think that was, what, 4-5 years ago. You could just deposit $500,000 in CD's and earned over $2,000 a month without having to worry about anything. Not only that, banks were competing for your deposits.

I even worked out a "ladder" investing plan for all the CD accounts with different maturities. Life was real good, and you'd want to save more and risk less. Come to think of it that was kind of "subversive" and "anti-government". It's our patriotic duty to save nothing and risk everything nowadays.
