first cogent thing i have read about QE in a long time
You think real estate takes off here?
I want exactly clear about this:"If you are in the market to buy a home or other real estate, you also need to pay attention – a major turn is now underway. Watch to see how much the banks pass through to homeowners and property owners to see how fast and big the turn may be. Watch to see the inflow of funds from offshore. This is not only funds returning but investors around the world looking to exchange their dollars for tangible assets to protect themselves from debasement of the dollar denominated deposits and securities they hold. Watch to see what the renegotiation of federal tax policy and the reengineering of the federal budget in response to the “fiscal cliff” do to reposition housing and real estate prices and cost of financing for an inflow looking for large accumulations."

"The thing that makes Bernanke's tying this to unemployment so politically brilliant and really so vicious is that, to date, the way that we have offset the monetary inflation that comes from quantitative easing and the loose monetary policy is with labor deflation. I have spoken many times about the "slow burn." In fact, the slow burn is a process by which you create monetary inflation and offset it with labor deflation."

Good read. Part of the 'payment' for QE has been from savers and pensioners, though, not just a collapse in wages. I'm sure there are diminishing returns from stealing from savers, however, after all these years.
