Bubble Ben is now starting to worry how to unwind this Mad Scientist experiment, and sees the difficulty of doing so. Not only that, but other major world economies like Japan have decided to use his printing press strategy to lift their economies which have been in the doldrums for a decade+...

Yeah, LOL. Market soars on any whiff of good news, and market holds on any bad news. We could have a nuclear war break out at this point, and the market would hold. Ben Bernanke should definitely be nominated as the Man of the Year, don't you think?

You can add the FED to this list too.

Machines that are programmed to FED actions and verbiage only.

All negative news today, and the HFT's driving this thing to new records each and every day.

To the contrary, I will be able to tell them how the entire nation is bankrupt, how we used to be denominated by the Dollar, and that guy serving a double-life sentence used to manage an entity called the FED. Should make for some great bedtime stories for my kids' kids.

My rants aren't about trading and making money....totally separate issue. Mine are about economics and what the ramifications of these FED actions will mean for all of us and my children. To me, this is nothing more than a Ponzi scheme that is out of control.

Boy, I couldn't disagree with you more. The economy is weak, and being heavily manipulated by the FED. This is blatant altering of the laws of supply/demand, and we all know what happens when the forces are manipulated with......things will not end well here. When that is, nobody knows, but my...

Yup, that is more than a guess. An Educated guess in the least.

Yes, letting everything crash and burn in 2007 would have been the best long-term solution. Sure the short-term pain would have been a lot worse, and it would have been a political nightmare for Obama to support such a policy coming into office, but it would have allowed the shit companies to...

Here in NY, inflation is rampant. My YoY budget increased about 7.5%, all due to price increases. Food, gas, oil, school taxes (mostly due to Union healthcare and pension funding), health insurance, homeowner's insurance, and tuition lead the way. The government's definition of Inflation is a...

Yup, not soon enough.

Bernanke is stepping down shortly, and will undoubtedly go into hiding. He's getting out before the longer-term shit hits the fans with his unscrupulous policies. Yeah, everyone's made some coin on his policies, but the horrible, long-term effect of these decisions has yet to rear its ugly...

We will definitely touch 15,000 before day's end. The liquidity experiment worked to perfection......NOT!......unless, of course, you rode this HFT wave. Ben will take his Golden Parachute this year, and fade into the sunset, and the poor schmuck who takes over will inherit this disgusting...

Yes, this whole contrived plan is utterly despicable. Not only has it created a bond bubble, but most asset classes (commodities, equities included) have also formed a bubble. There is absolutely no correlation any more between the world economy and the value of these instruments. The...

You're in your 20's? Don't quit your day job. As another poster said, move towards swing trading, and you will have the benefit of supporting your trading habit with regular income. The grass always looks greener on the other side, especially when you are working 60 hours per week. Keep your...

I called Gold bottom yesterday, but forgot to post. I think we're gonna see the stock markets implode very soon, and Gold will snap back nicely, maybe 50% of the way back this week.

What's a billion among friends. Hope u guys are loading up on Gold as we speak; I think we're gonna see a major rebound this week.

Totally agreed. And the longer the period of non-correction, the more taught the rubber-band will be, and the harder the correction will be. IMO, book your easy-money profits now, while you can, and don't get greedy!
