Good Post about the banks. f I recall correctly BUSH/CHENEY were bragging about how their deregulating the banking loan industry lead to the housing boom On these SI threads.... a lot of folks just want to invent a history that jibes with their political orientation. You did leave out one favorite part...."This is all Obama's fault..." Ignorance about history can't be cured because these same folks that lambast the government for everything consequential and inconsequential.... refuse to read anything that might jar their opinions out of their biases. Nice try on your part..... As for the FED..there is a difference in doing what one HAS to do vs. doing what one would prefer to do. You got that right......but Monday morning quarterbacking is a national past time. No matter what decision is made on the national level.....the coulda, shoulda, woulda crowd will be quick to attack. No matter what decision the FED makes on anything keep in mind that they are looking at a lot more data than any armchair economist that makes the 10PM business news.

WOW! Bulls over bulls plus bears is back under 40%! (I ignore neutral as that can include the index fund buyers who don't care and don't try to time the market. You have to be clueless to think they are out of the market completely) I'll put the latest Bulls over bulls plus bears chart in my next newsletter but bulls minus bears below is pretty decent.

You follow a lot of boards. Any idea why 7% growth is a "problem" for such a large economy? China's economic growth slowed in the third quarter to its weakest in more than five years as it battled a slumping real-estate market and weak domestic demand and industrial production. The world's second-largest economy grew 7.3% between July and September from a year earlier, slightly above the 7.2% forecast by analysts but slowing from 7.5% in Q2. The GDP data reinforces expectations that Beijing will need to unleash further stimulus to avert a sharper slowdown. We'd have rates up at 10% to slow that sort of growth here....
