Ridiculous, in my opinion, round II was the statement of raising rates in 2010. I find it ridiculous based on two data points. The first being the option mortgage re-casts due to start hitting mid to late 2010. Why raise rates on underwater properties? They certainly didn't do it to the first round of sub-primes. The second being this; and I know words are cheap, but I am inclined to believe this based on history. Fed May Not Increase Rates Until 2012, Bullard Says By Steve Matthews Nov. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard said past experience suggests policy makers may not start to raise rates until early 2012, while facing a “too low for too long” argument that may “weigh heavily” on the central bank.

Re: Fundamentals eventually matter, they always do. In all honesty, my actions are in agreement with your words. But I've been wrong for months, now. In my case, I thing it's partly due to the conclusion that if fundamentals don't matter, then it's hopeless to try to intelligently plan one's savings and future - we're all just gambling at a casino where the management is constantly changing the rules.

>>Fundamentals eventually matter, they always do.<< money printing is a "fundamental." so the market is following "fundamentals" right now. in a sense, anyway. i know your definition of fundamental was narrower than the one i'm using. the key is when the excess money fundamental changes - when does the dollar carry trade crack. the bankers are wailing and gnashing teeth to keep the dollar down. the economy itself is on life support. stop prices are sky high. the banksters are showing the "unlimited print" card. it's gonna be ugly when it blows sky high. i vote for Q1. the bankster need Q1 tax payer funded bonuses again. take down the market, threaten the end of the financial world, milk trillions, print like no tomorrow. wash, rinse repeat until the pitch forks come out.
