    A specific QE2 program is improbable in my opinion. The Fed is flush with cash via MBS prepayments, hence them buying up longer duration treasuries. They are purchasing the long end of the curve to push down the yields of higher credit bonds to create attraction for lower credit/higher risk assets like corporate bonds. According to the latest Fed stats depository institutions are performing repos with the banks- giving the Fed cash in exchange for bonds. This is also evident because deposits held by the Fed are increasing, currency in circulation is decreasing, consumer credit is contracting, and money supply only marginally upticked the past week after contracting.

    If the Fed was concerned with not enough cash being in the system then they will decrease the interest on excess reserves from 0.75% and possibly do other shit like offer beard trimmers in the lobbies of the Federal Reserve Banks to prevent further storing of cash at the Fed. Remember, the Fed’s goal is to slowly expand credit and gently grow the money supply thus yielding low inflation and a weaker dollar. Bama and Geithner will handle those Chinese and their blue light currency.

    Going to have to sell tons of Charbuckle’s Stuff if the Fed Statement says something unexpected concerning easing.
    On the other hand if it says something to force rates and dollar up you can franchise out Charbuckle’s Stuff.

    Aren’t you a little early on the draw here Fly? If the market does correct, as it must, gold will likely pop back up, even if only momentarily.

    Right call, wrong timing.

    The Fed ain’t gonna say shit. They’re just going to repeat the same old mantra about being ready to act… bla bla bla. The market is slightly down so it will rally after the fed statement and dive the next day. This is so predictable. The market is a fucking joke.

    The “Markets” are saying QE is inevitable. Change that perception and rates will be pressured…Stocks too.

    No QE2 coming. Fed just implements. Treasury is the decider. That means Timmy Geithner and Shamus O’Bama put their noggin’s together to come up with policy. Let’s see if they can figure something out.

    Geithner can’t tie his shoes and often forgets where he put his checkbook when tax time comes around. O’Bama? Let’s not even go there.

    These are the people deciding the fate of millions.

    Comforting, no?
