    Investors hoping for the bond-buying bazooka to be brought out at this Thursday's ECB meeting are "getting ahead of themselves," writes Vince Cignarella.

    I agree; the prospect of another LTRO is higher than outright large-scale bond buying. I also expect the Fed to continue its swaps to support. This will lift markets, but how much and for how long?

    Like all politicians they are hoping to delay the inevitable long enough to get re-elected or to be able to bail their Bankster buds out in hopes , no doubt, of a nice fat payoff.
