    Add to this that "Asian-Pacific markets were mixed Monday as investors hoped the U.S. and China would launch stimulus measures" and that South Korean is contemplating a stimulus package.

    The operative word is "hope". The problem is structural. Even Keynes believed that you can not solve structural economic problems with easy monetary policy.

    Not only are the markets "hoping", so are the central banks.
