THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Lots of rumors flying about how the fed will do QE3 on wenesday, and just as many say no. Either way, its probably going to be choppy this week in the markets.

Anyone think helicopter Ben will actually pull the trigger this week?
If I was in Vegas, I would lay odds on him doing nothing but more "jawboning" for now.
There hasn't been enough of a drop yet, IMHO.

My feeling is that he will try to hold off again, markets will go sideways into the announcement, react, and all will be like it has been. Schumer will run his mouth, congress will drag their feet, and Big Ben will inevitably go with QE3. Ugh.

Neither one will do anything.

The FOMC will go like this "Blah blah blah, nothing nothing nothing, rates low 'till 2015, blah blah blah more clarity, September, blah blah blah."


At the ECB meeting the Bundesbank is going to smack some sense into Draghi.

Ben won't do anything this week.

They are saving QE3 for closer to the elections, if at all.

Won't do anything. Nothing has worked up till now, so why do somethat that will fail again.
