    With Operation Twist ending in December, a majority of economists surveyed by the WSJ expect the Fed to drop the pretense of an asset swap and just print fresh dollars with which to buy long-term Treasurys. The only question is what we'll call it. QE4? QE3a? QE∞+?

    As i have posted for a year now, start buying your Precious metals and make sure it's PHYSICAL...No need for any surprises like an ETF not having enough silver to cover all the trades ( slv)...Comes to mind as a possible manipulated position.

  • Since people are apparently comfortable with them buying Fannie / Freddie debt, driving down borrowing costs (and increasing profits) for those institutions, I believe they will continue to focus attention there.

    This kills two birds with one stone, where they can help with the resolution of those institutions, which directly influences the Federal budget while also monetizing assets. Private players can easily finance the government when so much GSE paper is coming out the market every month.
