    He looks like a 2 dollar whore on finals weekend in Kings Cross.
    Fuck me! $102 a barrel of oil, high inflation, high commodity prices… weak as piss greenback… I know, lets fucken cut interest rates again. The man’s on crack and needs to be sacked.

    Fuck knuckle he is.

    Tell me, how the hell is FNM up nearly 5% after posting a moderate 3 billion 4Q loss? [edit – only 3% up now]

    It’s late here, and I think I’ll sleep in tommorrow, knowing that I’m effectively short the HSI and HSCEI.

    All I want for Christmas is my two rate cuts. My two rate cuts. My two rate cuts. Gee if I could only have my two rate cuts then I could spend it all on iPhones!

    The Fed forecasts that inflation will moderate this year compared with last year. But the Fed’s recently revised inflation projection of an increase between 2.1 percent and 2.4 percent is higher than its old forecast from the fall.

    Bernanke said there are “slightly greater upside risks” that inflation could turn out to be higher than the Fed currently anticipates, given the recent run-up in energy and food prices.

    “Should high rates of overall inflation persist, the possibility also exists that inflation expectations could become less well anchored,” Bernanke warned. If people, companies and investors think inflation will move higher, they will act in ways that could turn inflation even worse, a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy. And Bernanke said that could complicate the Fed’s job of trying to nurture economic growth while also keeping inflation under control.

    His beard is white as snow, but the 7 or 8 hairs planted directly above each ear is black. Odd.

    Santa Claus indeed.

    Fuck the dollar for the short-term sake of the bankers.

    It hurts to watch.

    I am 40% in GLD and starting to wish I had actual possession of it.

    How about that BZH pick for RC’s Final Four (trash talk here). Catching Zip in the West. The “Fly For President” sign will make me the envy of the neighborhood (and probably get me a Homeowners Assoc. citation but screw them-I’ll take it to Court).

    Did he just imply that illegals are afraid of large banking institutions? Uncle Ben, if he had balls, would have said just wait until our election. We have three candidates who will hand out ATM cards as they cross the Rio Grande.
