Take a look at this....article from today about QE in Europe....
Reports from overseas that had Germany downplaying the notion of further quantitative easing by the ECB helped push the market lower, Art Hogan, chief market strategist at Wunderlich Securities, said."There are rumors that Germany is botching quantitative easing, and the market is looking for QE to come out on Jan. 22. It's a non-trivial worry, when you're talking about a eurozone that in the aggregate is almost the size of the U.S. economy," Luschini said.
So this is what it all comes down to....QE
Every market around the world is being fed this stimulus to keep the markets from collapsing ..just on that simple report that there may not be QE sent the market lower.....there is going to be a collapse in every financial system around the world due to this extreme debt and stimulus that everyone has been cheering about for the last 5+ years...
No such thing as free markets and no such thing as a real economy.
All make believe ....I think this next financial crisis is really going to make people believe that there are no tools to fix this financial crisis.
