In the long term the answer is yes, in the short term the current QE2 expires this month and political pressure is against printing and further stimulus. Intermediate term it appears another recessionary economic and market dip is going to happen, pending extension of QE, of course. QE lite will stay, for now, but the Fed will stop new purchases, and there are no other buyers. Overall, success of QE2 is questionable. While insolvency was temporarily halted, inflationary pressures from commodity prices accelerated, putting highly indebted US consumers in dire straights. I think there is a possibility of a tepid recovery following this second dip, which really takes it's origin in part from the second wave of bad RE loans that ends in 2012.
