>>FED speak will last a day or two, then it's down again<< If it even makes an attempt at an Up Move here. I'm looking at it like .. the Bear is standing over the market waiting for it to try to move up ... I can't find a bullish bone in me .. Yet. >>Hey we also had to make good on what China and a few others had into Fannie and Freddie $1.2 Trillion. << Kudlow had a chart the other nite .. the Owned Portfolio of Fanny and Freddie Kruger was about 1.5 Trillion ..

FED speak will last a day or two, then it's down again Maybe not. It's all, you know, technical. If Bernanke were smart, he'd hire a chartist (me, maybe?) to advise him how to time his moves... like, for instance, dropping cash off choppers, etc. I'm still impressed with Maestro Greenspan's timing when he surprised the markets with a rate cut 1/2 hour before the close in Jan 2001. The markets run up 300+ points in no time at all, with transactions taking place with the speed of light. Ben B. couldn't hold a candle to the old guy... so far, no demonstrable gift for magic.

Let's see if I have this right on Fannie and Freddy.. 1...Banks loan money for home liars loans, sub prime, , alt A... and other toxic waste loans. 2...Freddy and Fannie insure the loans with packaged Bonds 3... China and Japan are the biggest buyers of those worthless bonds... they must not be very smart? 4... So the Fed wants to bail out Freddy and Fannie, to save losses to China and Japan, because they were stupid enough to buy them... 5... Whoa, Whoa, I thought all this was to restore Home Buyer confidence... 6... What a Bunch of Bullshit artists, I never heard anyone mention Foriegn Bond Holders on the hook today. 7... What am I missing?, lol
