Quote from Max E. Pad:
Watch how quickly Bernanke changes his mind on QE3 if the sandp blows through the multi month bottom today and starts heading south for the next couple weeks.
If my memory serves me correctly didnt he try to stand his ground some time in 2008 and he came out and left rates unchanged, then 2 weeks after the market got shit all over he came out and dropped rates a quarter point.
Quote from TGregg:
The Fed Chairman is a political appointment. Any loser that thinks The One is not acting like every previous POTUS by tapping his shoulder and nodding is being silly, Benjie's gonna toe the line like all the rest, he would never have been appointed elsewise.
Duh.
QE3 baby. Not called that of course, but we're getting it. Make no mistake. And I am a huge bear.
Quote from S2007S:
Saw this poll this morning on cnbc, never seen such a one sided opinion on a poll, I guess everyone knows Bubble ben bernanke isnt doing a damn thing right, I have been yelling this for years but all you bulls and Bubble ben bernanke fans think he is doing such a fine and dandy job. Bubble ben bernanke has fucked up this economy up more than its ever been fucked up before, remember that!
