Hello Hermant, The thought of the crew at the FED who couldn't do much about deflating the equity bubble before will try their hands at gently resolve the simultaneous equations of ...

(a) USD must serve to attract capital inflow now
(b) Systemic housing refi-debt risk diffused throughout must not splatter system-wide
(c) Structural unemployment due to globalization must be ameliorated by whatever
(d) Systemic and structural issues of pension weakness must be fixed soon

... within an environment full of inertia and in a landscape dotted with exogenous danger, makes me not feeling confident.

Chugs, Jay

"There are pockets of bubble" was the erudite comment by Greenspan at some Senate hearing when asked about real estate. The important inssue however (mentioned later in the quoted Q&A) is "I do think there is a mortgage-debt bubble now".

The mother of all liquidity traps or the mother of all currency collapses.

Take your pick.
