    In economist David Rosenberg's view, QE3 is all but inevitable. With unemployment well above the FOMC's year-end projection band of 8.6-8.9%, and higher still from its end-of-2012 projection of 7.8-8.2%, the Fed has no choice but to provide more stimulus. Rosenberg previously gave a 99% chance of a second recession happening.

  • Having heard from Jim Rogers earlier, I was wondering when Rosenberg would show up. These guys only appear on panicky down days.

  • havn't heard the Mr Doom & Gloom Roubini talked about double dip recession of late?

  • QE2 did little to nothing in creating new jobs. So yeah, why not use that fact as justification for a QE3 round? [roflol]

  • I appreciate a good ROFLOL, but I'd appreciate it even more if you'd share your views on how to profit from it.
    I mean, that's why we're here on SA, isn't it?
    Long XOM, NOV, DIG? Short AAPL, TIF, COH?

  • The definition of stupidity is repeating the same mistake while expecting a different result.

    QE2 was a failure, except for those who bet on it jamming commodities/inflation.

    If the primary justification for QE3 is jobs, it, too, will be a failure.

    The current source of the failure to create jobs is the bad, anti-business policies spewing from Obama and his ilk.

  • I can't believe I am about to say this, forgive me Dave, but I disagree with you and hope you are wrong. Please understand me, I "AM" a long time fan/subscriber, but if we get any more QE, I don't see even Bernanke being so freakin stupid to embark on $200 oil, 15 gallon gas? No way do we get anymore debasement of our battle worn U.S. Dollar! I am looking fro the dollar to strengthen, you know Dave, deflation is all around us. I think Europe comes apart before we get any more QE.

    I pray I am right, but you can't avoid the ensuring depression , its all but certain.
    Trumka, Stern, and Obama, this socialist/progressive administration, are all but certain to cause it. Union Leaders are the number one visitor to the white house, Stern {SEIU} and now Trumka. The three stooges will get the rank and file 100% of nothing! This is math kids, pure and simple, no more bull crap! How about every union member in the country agree to a 50% give back of all their pay and benefits. We can avoid the depression, but it starts with the last statement happening. I would rather bet on a snowball lasting more than a minute in hell, I just don't see the union/membership willing to do what is needed for the country. That's why they will ultimately wind up with 100% of nothing! The s... ; Has hit the fan!
