My 2c for Chris...

It looks like Fed is the major market mover. If there were no Fed, we would all live happily hereafter etc etc... But now this cobra is giving us hibbi jibbies on a regular basis etc etc...

Im more concerned about the absence/lack/negative (g) savings rate of an average american hero

(I know Steve, we had that going several times already. Getting the problem spelled or mentioned once in a while does not make it go away though).

It looks like US is working / staying productive like crazy, spends all the cash it gets with the paycheck (or actually 100.2 %) and the rest of the world is chipping in cash to keep the machine in a working order. Side effect: get more cash ie get the rates down a little more. Which as Gersh already pointed at is already factored in.
The moment the spending habits of US starts to shift, man, we will not need any green men from Fed to tell us how the story will go.
