Wall Street turns negative on speech ... We have a system called Risk on/Risk OFF.. BB turned it off today!!!

It is the same as a Drunk saying he is going to drink no more.. But he did not say he is going to drink LESS..

REMEMBER THE $$$ IN YOUR POCKET IS A FREE LOAN TO THE FEDERAL RESERVE TO BUY BONDS AND REBATE THE MONEY TO THE FEDERAL TREASURY!!!THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK IN NEW YORK IS THE MOST PROFITABLE BANK IN THE WORLD.

A home run?

An additional market buffer notes JPMorgan (after the FED ends POMO purchases), is that Central banks have been accumulating foreign exchange reserves at a rapid pace (with emerging markets accumulating 80% of 2010’s $885b total). Consequently, conservative Central bankers are likely to increase their purchases and support of U.S. Treasury’s.

And hopefully, as bankers are confronted with a remuneration rate that is less attractive vis a’ vis other competitive instruments and yields, bank lending will expand (pushing the economy along)

Put into perspective:

QE2 greased the wheels (velocity). It accelerated decision making (financial transactions). It redistributed financial investment (not real investment). It supported the Treasury Market (the FED's informal mandate). Once you change the risk value (swap or convert assets), you make the markets rebalance. Rebalancing alters the asset mix. It makes the market re-examine, and revalue, the linkages between financial and real assets. It changes support & resistance lines. It increases the demand for speculative loan-funds.

The banks will have no choice but to lend money. They need the income.

How Many dollars X factional reserve banking practices. It will be interesting to say the least if the banks start lending money. Not sure why the banks would lend with such a low interest rate and little movement on housing lending which drove the CDO investment the first time around. Credit Cards?

All the Money the Fed has printed, wonder where is all of it sitting. It sure isn't where it belongs to be to get this economy up and running again.

A lot of it is sitting in the banks around the world Ty and it ties into this comment from life.

" Not sure why the banks would lend with such a low interest rate and little movement on housing lending"

So maybe a little interest rate hike fear right now might get something moving along again.

US REITs nearly doubled their performance for the year to date ended May 31, compared with the broader equity market. They also outpaced the market in May, as well as for the preceding twelve months.
