It is a difficult situation. On one hand, an explosive device can be easily hidden in a female body cavity which a unborn baby resides; on other hand, body searching becomes a license to molest passengers.

I watched one of his TV interviews. I guess his IQ is around 90.

My first reaction to the "inside trading" news is that old guards in Wall Street are trying to get rid of competition. :D

Baby Maidolf, China version. :D

If Texas can get rid of Federal income tax, meaning quasi-independence, I will move there. :D

1. We can only speculate what is in Fed decision makers' mind by circumstantial evidence; Can QE2 acted or intended act as last straw to break EU camel's back? 2. Between your lines, you implied that QE2 does have detrimental effect on the EU debt nations; 3. It is all about proportion...

Thanks the OP for sharing his/her experience; I avoid illiquid instruments, their slippage can kill your profit.

All the benefits of QE2 listed in the media, such as jobs, diluting U.S. debt owned by foreigners, can not matching one potential benefit that I do not read in the media. That is the diluted dollar floods EU, makes debt owned by Greek, Ireland, Portugal etc., denominated in EUR, more expensive...

I ahve been tracking the U.S.-China matching for a few months. What I said in the original posting was the conclusion I draw from that experience. It takes effort to list them, which I do not want to do it. Be your own judge and decide what to believe.

We are the product of our environment; our views are the direct results of what we see, read, and be told. You will not learn if you get your info from U.S. media only. Best suggestion I have is to read from sources where they have neutral standing on the issues, such as Singaporean media, in...

I am still watching, probably it is not safe to bet on either way. I snatched $500/chr on GC this morning. Pressure is mounting to backtrack QE2. I will not trade GC again. Will Try something else ZC

Can we conclude by today's market that the U.S. dollar is strong, and QE2 has been discounted? I would not bet on either way. I am neutral at the moment.

Looks like I am wrong. :D

I do not recall the source, but I remember reading U.S. government does not own a single once of gold. The gold at Fort Knox belongs to FED. There was one female secreatary to one of the big IB president reveal to the press a few decades ago on how the bankers took possession of U.S. gold. She...

U.S. president, sec of state, and sec of def acted like amateurs, tookt an Asia tour and tried to drive a wedge between China and its Asian neighbor. But U.S. had almost nothing to offer except empty promises and non-diplomatic bad-mouthing of China; and those Asian neighbors all have China...

There may be possible that the effect of QE2 has been discounted by the market, because people knew it was coming and the dollar dropped around 20% from its recent peak. Given the fresh problem of EU and china's measures against inflation, dollar may not decline from here. who knows?

Two reasons allegedly caused the dip. But both are mitigated according to some sources. Ireland sovereign debt: http://www.cnbc.com/id/38646579 Shanghai Index fell: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-07-28/china-s-stocks-rally-will-wane-on-inflation-outlook-hsbc-s-mahendran-says.html
