Niall Ferguson thinks QE2 is a waste in this day and age because a lot of the liquidity created simply leaves the US to chase opportunities in emerging markets. In the past, when we were not living in a global village and capital did not flow as easily as it does now, the money created stayed at home. He may have a good point.

I guess we'll see soon enough. I tend to agree with c2, there will be less QE2 than expected, maybe none new, but who knowz. Technically gold might have be done to the downside any moment (seeing the lows), maybe already, although the correction may still last until December. Meaning no new highs, just slashing back and forth. Dunno now. Me bot the dip a bit, started adding some. -g- Indeed, there is this article on Taylor rule requiring 4 Trillion new QE2, which will certainly be quite bubblicious for gold and the stock market and destructive for the economy if pursued by easy hilo Ben. In the meantime, what US economy really needs is shock therapy - real reforms altering it's structure. Very painful reforms, I might add. At least, in the short run, with some serious TL and EV. -ng- As ggersh says, we will "kick the can" instead. No doubt.
