Truth and Consequences of the Fed Purchasing Treasuries

Good article and excellent comments by Chris B.
Everyone seems to dismiss or not consider global politics. This move is also preliminary to the approaching G-20 economic summit.
Watch Int'l. central bank moves after that meeting. Doesn't this move make the U.S. (Obama) a more confident "Player" (currency, trade, economic partner, etc) -- whether China likes it or not?

Can Bush Save the Dollar's Fall?

It is beyond ridiculous to suggest the "Bush" himself can correct the dollar's fall. Why is that people think that "Bush" -- or any President -- can waive a magic wand and quickly change a flawed economic policy implemented and supported by the Federal Reserves Greenspan and now Bernake, and the spendthrift Congress that double taxes saving and investment. Taxes should be removed on savings and incentives employed to increase investment. Instead the politicians are poised to do the opposite.
Flooding the economy with more debt and cash is counterproductive and will only increase inflation.

Major Market Indicators: A Portrait of Confusion

Note to Roger Nusbaum.
Roger, I read almost all of your articles and find that I am in agreement with you most of the time and find your observations useful. I am retired and am an ETF fan. I manage my own and indirectly some other portfolios. Keep up the good work. I just went to analyzenow dot com to have a look at another man's good work in helping with pre and post retirement planning, replacement cost budgeting and the like.
It is an excellent site -- check it out. No rose colored glasses here.
