As I’ve noted several times on these pages, the US stock market and US dollar are trading at a near perfect inverse correlation.

The Fed’s FOMC announcement came out… We got exactly what I expected, a kind of wishy-washy, “hedging our bets” statement from the Fed. You have to remember that Bernanke was Greenspan’s right hand man for much of the bubble days of the ‘90s and early ‘00s, so the guy is an expert at walking both sides of the line when it comes to policy and public statements. For instance, the Fed announced it would keep interest rates between 0% and 0.25% for an “extended period.” No surprise there. As I’

Certainly the debate, with its images of “blue dog Democrats” being harangued by “red faced colleagues,” has proven colorful. Despite the reigning uncertainty, however, certain predictions on reform’s effects seem reasonable. One thing about the reform is certain. One of its principle aims is
