Good article as usual! I think the fed wants to reduce cheap fnancing used by banks (it states that the banks should start to look for other sources of financing)to bid up asset prices and somehow get the liquidity into the real economy (small companies, individuals, etc which do not have access to the capital markets). A real challenge…

S&P 500 will remain in the 1050-1120 range it has been in for 8 months because the yo yo of positive and negative headlines won’t stop. I work for http://storyburn.com and we see daily the angst surrounding Americans as they deal with record home foreclosures and job losses.

Mr. Hadas:
Good article. I would recommend to link it though to the U.S. Treasury bonds and explain why these and interest rates are poised to another financial meltdown.

Basic economics: bond prices up, interest rates down and viceversa.

The rates are going up for the sole reason nobody is taking on U.S. debt (the last two bond offerings – 10 and 30 year maturities – sold around a third of the lot). In fact, China are dumping them.

Instead of watching movies, we should keep an eye on the FOMC.

Cheers

Actually, DJIA and the markets are responding quite disinterestedly at this time. The markets even look bored. Suggest the author pick another topic.

Seen any good movies?
