So you don't think they will continue to taper to zero as planned?
I always say the FED is trapped, they have no choice but to print forever or risk a serious economic disaster..
If Q3 GDP is above the average 1.05% of 1H GDP, then the economy is improving and I think they will continue to taper. Once they finish QE, the money printing is over. Low rates is not printing but market manipulation.

Of course the rate of improvement in GDP is awful. The fools in Washington who can't get a tax agreement to encourage corporations to build and invest here to create good jobs should be ashamed of themselves. EVERY ONE in both parties should be replaced.

Kirk: So you don't think they will continue to taper to zero as planned?

GZ: No, it's all talk... the FED is already in 100% violation of their own 1913 Charter, so why would anyone expect them to be honest with the public???

I place my bets with the end of Quantitative Easing this year, probably some time in October

I think the Fed is committed to this. And I think the opinion is that QE has served its usefulness and is even currently not even accomplishing that much.

I think they would take a great deal of heat if they did not end QE as planned.

Just my opinion......I'm certainly no expert on the Fed, far from it
