If a QE3 rumor furthers his cause the Bernank will use it.

Exactly, why make loans, that's boring. If I were The Bernank, I would think that more QE is not productive given what has happened with the dough. Most of its fruits are sitting in bank reserves, making low risk money for banks.

I thought it was coming too, certainteed. I am not so sure anymore. Velocity is not picking up. The banks are simply increasing their reserves. Given the criticism over rising commodity prices (especially food and oil..) I would think that the Fed, if they were initiate QE3 would give a pause between QE2 and QE3 for 6 months allowing prices to drop so that they could be given an excuse to prime the pump again. Also there is the election cycle.. pause for 6 months and start again in time so that the home team has an advantage as the economy is recovering. (Such as it were...)
