    Look at gold dropping like a rock on that news. Too many gold bugs were betting on more easing!

    Democracts have hijacked the meeting to tout their terrific unemployment record! Wow, they are saying how consistent the growth has been since Obama took office and the passage of TARP. It amazes me, because if its so terrific you would think we would be at 1% unemployment by the way they are talking about it. REAL unemployment sits actually around 15%, not 8.9%.

    Those bright spots will soon dim. Wait for 2 months or so.
