Shades! Welcome back. I had a click to see where you've been and I like your empathy with the long-suffering world of financial institutions and their impoverished employees: youtube.com Nice song and sentiments. Much of TJ's sentiment seems to have at the root antipathy to colonial masters, be they of the geopolitical variety aka the British Empire, or the financial relativity theory empire of the USA. TJ's grandfather seems to have had the same inclinations which cost China dearly. If China had co-opted British economic integration instead of fighting it, Japan wouldn't have gone on the rampage so easily [or at all]. Similarly with the USA = China spent half a century at war with the USA in Korea and threatening Taiwan instead of building trade and economic integration. In recent decades, China has seen the light [some of it anyway]. Even now, China is resisting CDMA/OFDM by Qualcomm and is goofing around with TD-SCDMA [CDMA with Chinese characteristics = it doesn't work]. They could be well into a vast economic and technological revolution with tsunamis of cash rolling in from around the world - instead they are being dog in the manger. Mqurice

The Fed is stupid. Buying 300 billion in Treasuries over 6 months is peanuts for this market. The only thing that amazes me here is that the most traders still respect the Fed. The Fed is desperate and in over its head here.
