Quote from fearless9:
Time is the only real player right now.
Fiddling with the controls only serves to confuse.
Lowering rates and adding liquidity to the credit markets is pretty basic stuff. They have been pretty straight forward in telling the market place that they are going to be buying mortgages and asset-backed securities.
In your opinion, how does this seek to "confuse"?
Quote from stock_trad3r:
what do you have against the free market? Why do you want to see the stock market and the US economy fail?
Free market?
You surely have a totally distorted view of what constitutes a free market. Certainly, not one with a banch of idiots trying to cause hyperinflation.
Next, I want to see the US economy real strong, not in steroids.

The dollar isn't sinking, the USD fundamentally is too strong versus other currencies.
Quote from riskfreetrading:
the man with the beard needs to be fired. He produces just shocks to the system, when he is supposed to do the oppoiste.
The dollar is sinking! 600 pips in the hole against a bankrupt euro currency in one day. It is not the strength of EUR but the wrong decisions made by the man at the helm.
I hereby called on him to resign or be removed.
Monetary policy is first done with words and less action, and the name of the game is to never show your hand. This guy has been read time and again even before he himself knew what he will do.
Could you tell us how he can be removed? Currencies belong to nations. Congress: make an emergency meeting and remove him.
The tarp did not work. People kept talking about inflation and how much money was spent. We were still in Deflation. The banks did not lend out the money, it never reached the system to stop the deflation spiral.
The Fed has just bypassed the banks. Bernake will not have another Depression, yes we now will have the inflation people have been worried about. But should that have been your primary concern? And the Fed can remove this money.
More concern should be spent politically on our growing budget deficits than Fed actions.

Prices for real estate is just prices of 2000 that isnt' inflation.
prices for real estate is still higher than it was in 1995 or 1990
price of oil same as it was in 2005 but still higher than 1995.
there is no deflation.
normal inflation don't rise 100% in year like oil. going from $75-$150 in less than a year.

Wrong. You can't assume the TARP didn't work. The markets have been flat since October 10th when the TARP was passed. There is hardly a deflationary spiral. The core CPI was unchanged.

Excuse me, but . . .
"Housing starts fell to their worst levels ever ( the record keeping only goes back to 1959 ) and the CPI was -1.7% for November, which brought the annual rate of growth down to match the December 1986 and June 2002 lows of 1.1% from 3.7%"
If the Economy wasn't DEFLATING as hard as you say it is,why did the FED just lower rates to ZERO?

The inflation will be cause by a drop in the dollar.
