Opinionator on the radio yesterday thought that the Fed would not TAPER with Mortgage rates so the housing market and building employment can stay strong. For what it's worth.

Keep your eye on the ball ... The term "Taper" is a Fed artificial creation used to create fear and mold public opinion. Very much like the "Stress Tests" a few years ago. The Fed controls all aspects of the discussion which is just how they like it. The banksters are trying to keep the public out of equities - which I believe they largely are (anyone have any data?). Taper / no Taper is the tool they are currently using ... its all BS ... Fact is there is absolutely no way the Fed is going to stop handing its owners 85 billion per month given the public generally has no clue to how bad they are being flim-flammed. Would you? Maybe they will say that they will cut it 5 to 10 billion for theatrics to set up the next round of BS. Besides, there is no other way to fund the US budget deficit. Divide the Projected annual deficit by 12 and that's the monthly QE amount. Free money is free money and the Banksters are all over it. Has absolutely nothing to do with the economy - other than buttressing the Banks books - and their bonuses. The problem the Fed faces is that more and more people are figuring out that a good part of the 85 bil per month is going to the Primary Dealers who are buying equities. Especially this time of year where seasonals scream for higher equities plus as hard as it to believe that someone can be easier with money than Bernanke - Yellen is just that. Any sell-off will be short and scarey - and will be followed by even bigger rallys. When the Fed BS turns to how "committed" they are to continuing present policies - and the public is finally on-board - that's when its time to worry. Maybe in a few months .... not yet .... Just one (dumb) opinion ...
