Money dropping from the helicopters? I thought Mish had an interesting point that MP3 growth had come to a screeching halt in July - 18% down to 3%. FNM and FRE have cut back their massive mortgage repurchases too. CDO prices are firming this week. GDP numbers looked OK, unemployment is rising, but not too bad of a problem.

Hell, I would be so bold as to suggest that the FED bump up interest rates just to reinforce the dollar, and get a little tougher on inflation. The sooner he acts at this point, the less he has to do down the road. I'd rather give back 1 or 2 cuts now that have to watch a longer series of cuts hikes down the road when housing has recovered.
