They may have to file insider trading charges against Hilsenrath unless he can prove his non factual rumors and speculations. The man needs to provide direct quotations and verifiable source information. Anything else is just pure rumor and idle speculation.

There's a novel idea. Let's do everything we can to suppress interest rates even though businesses are satisfied with the status quo. It only hurts investors, but I guess the job of policy makers is to hurt the populace as much as they can. Nobody really wants to retire before 80 anyways.

I think the theory is to give banks money--that's why, in an unprecedented move, banks get 0.25% interest rate from the US Treasury / Fed for holding US government paper. Why lend money if you can get a safe 0.25% free?

As everyone is well aware of, it's a race to the bottom from a currency devaluation perspective. We had quantitative or monetary policy easing from the ECB, English and Chinese banks last weeks. Been buying gold derivatives, gold producers and exploration stocks. If we do get QE3 then the upmove could be fast and furious as it was with the first two. If not, then we're still likely to go up but it will take longer. Been buying Allied Nevada, a cheap gold producer with a huge gold base. Also been buying Westhaven Ventures http://bit.ly/LBSYcN . If you have the tolerance for a grass roots exploration play, this one has management that's literally discovered billions of dollars in assets before. Mining hall of fame, Prospector of the year type of guys. High risk but very, very high reward.

What are you guys buying? Always do your dd.

I was going to buy some PMs in anticipation of the coming devaluation, but I'm an egalitarian at heart and don't want to prosper whilst others are suffering. Besides, I plan to run up all my credit cards, take out a home equity loan and go on a spending spree before declaring bankruptcy, claiming mental disability and trading my food stamps for drugs. I just hope there is a wealth tax on all you suckers so I will be able to keep up my parasite lifestyle.

The Fed is already "reinvesting" in MBS. Look at their statements (cf. NYFed). If they increase purchases to a much greater extent, then they believe the MBS market (which is often discussed in these pages) is not able to absorb supply and function. Lower rates distort risk-reward and create systemic risks.
