<I have no doubt they will print. Zero doubt.> The Fed can't print a whole lot on their own. It takes cooperation with the thieves in Congress and Treasury to do it in size. They may actually be running scared at the moment, scared that the populous has had enough of Uncle Sam borrowing money in their names to hand to select Congressional campaign contributors, while the rest of the country drowns in what's left of the free market. Popular trends are pressing for deflation. `BC

So tomorrow, if GDP is bad, QE2 becomes more likely, dollar should tank and commodities rise. Market should go up (or at least not go down) because of this. However, if it's REALLY bad, then market may cave and dollar go back to safe haven, even if QE2 more likely (what a perfect scenario for BB). But you can be sure there will be plenty of blabbering about how GDP is backward looking, etc. etc. This only covers the GDP bad scenario. I suspect it will "beat" and we'll see a big jump in the market. But that's a complete guess.

When a significant portion of the US goes geriatric in a few years, this strategy will backfire on them. There'll be no spending power on the part of retirees. They keep pointing back to the 'success' of QE in Japan. The real reason Japan recovered after 2002 was the coattail effect the massive US stimulus had on all countries that exported to the US. It had nothing to do with QE.

>>I have no doubt they will print. Zero doubt.<< but they are only printing debt and giving the proceeds to their bankster buddies and leaving society with the principle debt, interest on that principle debt and interest paid to the banksers for holding their newly minted debt instruments at the private federal reserve. one gets poorer when one spends their credit card. society is getting royally f*ed here. i don't see this as inflationary at all. i see this as the largest peace time theft in broad daylight. i see this as debt collapsionary in time. again, if the banks are holding trillions in cash, why would they destroy their wealth again? the wealth they committed fraud, treason and crimes against humanity to accumulate? when has the IMF banker types ever bailed out debtors with inflation? never? b/c they are the ones calling the shots right now and government is the obvious puppet.
