Bernanke is doing what he's paid for, running a central bank. He's not being paid for being your best buddy nor running things the way you like. Don't like it? Leave. There are 150 something countries out there. During the last 400 years, millions of people all over the world left Europe...

The "inflation is right around the corner" seems so intuitive and logical, IMO it's just another crowded quasi-contrarian view that will turn out to be not so contrarian within due time. Was there high inflation after the Great Depression? Or in Japan after 1990? Why not?

External investors? Why not the GS partners' private funds? :cool:

Didn't Buffet say in October how he'd love to "join the government in buying the distressed debt"? How this would be the chance of a lifetime? Looks like Washington should give him a call now and take him up on this, because nobody else in their right mind will :cool:

There are thousands of mutual funds, family trusts and hedge funds set up in "blacklisted" Caribbean financial centers. If US brokers will be prohibited to receive wire transfers from these jurisdictions then this money will go to Europe and Asia. If this is what US lawmakers want then so be it...

Jerome back in action? :cool:

Please post a screenshot of your real money position so we don't waste our time following this thread.
