Federal Reserve officials agreed at June's policy meeting to end their bond-buying program in October, putting an explicit end date on the experiment for the first time and closing a controversial chapter in central-banking annals with results still the subject of immense debate.

So we have a certain date on which the market will tank?
Sounds like it to me. Be out of the market by October, or loose big time!

So they won’t be spending 30+ billion a month anymore trying to paper over the national debt with phony e-money anymore. Go figure. I’ll be they add that amount to the 4050 billion they’ve been spending per month buying MBSs on the stock market.

Anyone wondering why the stock market is impervious to the recession - this is the reason. Greed and they’ll get theirs and don’t care about the future.

This way the inevitable crash can be blamed on the Republicans who will have kept the House and just retaken (I hope) the Senate.

putting an explicit end date on the experiment

**************
Strange “coincidence” indeed. Whatever, with the Fed and all agencies of the government its not always what they say, its what they do that matters. Words are cheap, and the gullible sheeple usually buy them.

The Fed could easily backtrack by claiming “softness” in the economy or some other excuse. We’ve seent his movie before.

It’s all been planned, bozo’s job has always been to destroy America. He just held off until after his reelection to ensure he had carte blanc to bring us all down. He wants a brown country-that is what he is all about-revenge and destruction of the most glorious republic to ever exist!

Yes, the Fed is behind this levitation. No doubt about it.

If the business environment is so healthy and the economy is so strong then why has the Fed found it necessary to print trillions?

You’re not suggesting that the Fed is political, are you? ;)

In a nutshell, the FED is paying the NYSE to look the other way.

Wonder if this has anything to do with the price increase in gold and silver since very early June?

At least the Bank of Japan is straightforward about it’s manipulation of markets:

IMHO we will see an invasion and it won’t be coming from the South. You got to remember that this country still has the largest natural resource base in the world, we are just not allowed to tip it. This land is the prize, worldwide.

The stock market is so high now, that even if it "crashes" 20% it'll still be ahead of where it was when the recession started.

Higher interest rates just might help local economies long term. Responsible people will be able to accumulate savings for the future. Seniors whose savings haven't been decimated by gov "help" through the recession will mostly spend any interest they get, a lot of it locally. Banks will be more willing to loan if they'll earn a profit from it.

People who are STILL in debt? Not my problem. QE going on any longer?....the longer it goes on, the less reversible its effects on the economy will be.

Muzzies are big on symbolism. Remember the date of the market crash that led to the Great Depression?

OK all you Freeper Finance guys. What should we do with our money?

Do we keep it in Stocks?

Do we move it to Bonds?

Do we put it in fixed income money markets?

Do we put it in Real Estate Equity?

Do we move it to foreign investments?

Help us out here.
