#1 Getting close to election. I have noticed a decline on bad economic news. The EU, China , Latin America and even Australia. I believe they are deliberately doing this to keep people less involved. The money investment people love to work the little people. There is always money to be made in good as well as bad times for these people. The QE3 may yet appear to help Obama. He is not fixing things. He cleans up by throwing the dirty clothes in the closet with Barney.

#2 AEP is the wrolds biggest idiot. I really cannot think why anyone would still deny there was not a credit bubble.

Can we have some comment from a non-moron?

#3 The Federal Reserve has drifted into fatalism, seeming to lose confidence in its own ability to shape events, displaying the same lack of "Rooseveltian resolve" as the Fed in the early 1930s -- to borrow an expression written years ago by a young Princeton professor, and Fed scourge, called Ben Bernanke.

Only a leftest prof from Princeton could come up with a term of reference such as "Rooseveltian resolve". I personally celebrate the "lack" thereof.

#4 Investor class hoping for QE3

The problem in a nutshell: US GDP growth 1%, annualized US debt growth 12%

That's 21%

i.e. it's taken 20 dollars of debt to increase GDP by 1 dollar. Only a Keynesian idiot (a tautology) would think of this as investing.
