Star 80 Truth be told, the current fixation on every word and nuance from the FOMC has become a farce - a mere heedless distraction from the critical financial/economic issues of the day I agree - it seems INSANE to me one man's emitted soundwaves from his vocal chords can have 7 billion people taking anxiety pills! That is pure INSANITY! That type of fixation reminds me of eric robert's character in that movie STAR 80 - CRAZILY OBSESSED. Entire ENCYCLOPEDIA's are written on the nuance of fedspeak and astrologists seeing the future based on where the semicolon is placed in a sentence in bernanke's written submissions to the press - INSANE. Just like the movie - such obsession can only lead to one thing ultimately - the destruction of the obsessor and the object of desire - poor Doroty Stratten. Credit markets are much better indicators of the prevailing liquidity backdrop than equities. Agreed - if the fed raises rates to 20% but money growth is 50% - how does that reign in inflation? Amazing the masses of people they have BRAINWASHED to look at one number and not the others. http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=22577251&srchtxt=money%20supply%20growth Commercial paper issuance reached its highest level ever and was up about 20% from a year earlier at $1.777 trillion. Commercial and industrial loans reached their highest level ever two weeks ago, up $133 billion, or 13%, from a year ago to $1.126 trillion. Bank credit also reached an all-time high two weeks ago, at $7.940 trillion, up $723 billion, or about 10%, versus a year earlier. Corporate bond issuance has also been strong, with weekly issuance up $100 billion year-to-date (+39%), according to IDEAGlobal. Don't all these numbers make 5.25 look small?

Gore is right.....have you not noticed the heat, the dry condition of the soil in your garden. (if only he had been elected!) And lets not even talk about the Chem Trail experiment. I live over a major fly path for Europe and Asia, daily the sky is crowded with trails. We either change our ways or face doom. (get a bike and USE IT, as for a car, do you own an SUV? - shame on you. As for me, I watch, stalk and trade - not to mention build a portfolio of alternative energy for my kids accounts in solar, ethanol, water. West
