This could easily be due expectations of more stress in the money markets

There is not much inflation in the US ex-food and energy, I posted a while back many links to alternative inflation measures that are FAR superior in predicting future inflation than the noisy headline CPI, they are all either at lows or close to lows

If he becomes president than the EU is fucked, Japan outcome maybe worse. As of yet he is just a hoenig complaining, I dont believe he can get a hike out of the other members without a very good reason Its really funny how they point to the headline inflation being above 2% but they never...

ECB is not hiking before summer

I was wrong about the buyout, still this was an unavoidable mistake, the original thesis was too obvious and sound, the company works like a pyramid scheme and can't keep going forever

Yes. What are some of the forecasts on the likely drop of EFF?

Contrary to you I cant predict dissents with 100% accuracy using silly theories

I wasn't in my desk during FOMC yesterday(thats a first in more than 2 years!). No dissents, hilarious, those new hawks were about to shoot bernanke last year now when they get to business they vote with him. Seems pretty clear to me the Fed wont hike this year, unless iexpectations go through...

The return of Geithner QE http://www.zerohedge.com/article/here-come-whispers-inevitable-unwind-feds-sfp-program Zero hedge is happy to say they announced that 24hours ago, I'm happy to announce that I predicted that a bit after the election when the debt ceiling rumors started(along with my...

Macroeconomic Advisers expect no dissents at the Fed meeting

It needs to be something passive that I just check the logs after. I will have to monitor everyday all day so any active solution is not optimal

I tried a few connections monitors out there and they are graph based which doesn't help me much. I need to be able to tell if that internet went down(even if for only 1sec, if I'm reading I can't tell), in the graphs you cant distinguish between inactivity and periods where the connection died

This is a quite thought provoking post http://www.themoneyillusion.com/?p=8483 Specially to the folks that are analyzing other housing markets in the world and making bets. NGDP and central bank policy might be one of the indicators they need to look at

Their disagreement seem to be on the issue on whether the municipalities will succeed in their fiscal efforts and whether they will get bailed out by the federal gov. I can't possibly see NYC muni bonds defaulting given that the city is larger than lots of countries, there might be a few more...

I dont believe Pimco is having a large conflict of interest there, Bill Gross had no problem avoiding the structured fixed income products for years during the bubble because they just didnt understand them

Meredith Whitney took a lot of heat for her muni call but I don't believe the call is that crazy http://www.businessinsider.com/vallejo-california-plans-to-stick-it-to-its-unsecured-creditors-2011-1 Valejo will pay out 5-20 cents on the dollar to creditors. Her math was criticized but I...
