From Jim Sinclair The Federal Reserve: 1. The equity market spoke to the Fed today. 2. There isn't a snowball’s chance in hell that the Fed can go hawk, even one bit. 3. The key to keeping the financial system afloat is that business does not go into a total tailspin with housing bottoming out reasonably soon. 4. If the Fed even talks tough to try and prove they have everything under control, everything will get out of control in a very destructive way. 5. Federal and State tax revenues are contracting and if the Fed plays the tough guy the deficits will be unprecedented. 6. If the Fed plays the “we have it all under control, business is sure to recover and therefore we are hawk” card, Bernanke’s boss will go down in history next to Hoover. The Democratic Party could run Mickey Mouse for president and win in a landslide. 7. The last thing the financial system can stand now is an implosion of the equity market. 8. The Fed is between a rock and a hard place, playing terminal games with the financial system. 9. When the book is written Bernanke will get all the blame when in truth he is only the fall guy."

I agree the Fed can't raise rates in the near future as the economy is collapsing, but they sure as heck better not try an emergency rate cut any time soon either Just wait - after WS gets over being grumpy the next headline will be: "Oil falls, inflationary fears wane, investors optimistic for further rate cuts"

"the shorts will do very well for quite awhile now". How do one play 'shortie' without actually 'shorting' ? 'Hedge fund' ? Any suggestion is appreciated. We've finally arrived the 'malignant stage of illness of the life cycle'. Vote for republican (life changing event), war, war, war can pull us out, the only way out. Let the republican finish the job (mess), might as well. Frustrated. Energy demand is still going up. Juniors are still cranking the 1000w game-PC (and cool it down). Pedestrians still walking across street without looking at traffics. Hummers, SUVs, huge trucks ... and more SUVs. We need hybrids in Iraq. How many BTUs is required to make a hybrid tank ?
