We will provide quotes from news articles written on the impending QE3 which is/was supposedly 'guaranteed' to take place. All the following quotes were written in September. You simply have to guess whether it was written currently (2012), or whether it was written a full year ago (2011)
Let's begin:
"The US economy has been slowing down in the recent months and the Fed's main task now is to find the best way to stimulate it... The pessimistic tone of the FOMC minutes made it vibrantly clear that policymakers are warming to the idea of more QE." -- FX-Street.com

"The August jobs data was shockingly bad and is stoking talks of QE3... The sheer ugliness of the report is one of the strongest indications to date that the U.S. recovery is screeching to a halt...

Written September 2nd... 2011 or 2012?
The answer to all four quotes are the same... all written in 2011.
Twelve Months Ago!
That piece of Shit, Benjamin Bernanke has been able to successfully con the stock market to rise over the last Twenty months via an Endless cocktease of "QE on the way"...
It really is disgusting.. No one with the power to stop this farce. No one in a position of power who wishes it to stop...
And all the so-called 'experts'... these Scum... What are they writing in the papers this week as they prepare for Friday's announcement:
"Today Goldman Sachs stated, "We now anticipate that the FOMC will announce a return to unsterilized asset purchases (QE3)" -- WSJ
"For the third time in less than four years, the Federal Reserve this week will likely move to inject a sick economy with a B-12 shot... In a USA TODAY survey of 36 economists on Friday, 22 predicted the Fed will announce further bond buying this week." -- USA Today...
And if it doesn't happen? Oh well.. always October.. or November.. or December..or January.. or...
Gotta happen sooner or later right?
Even a broken clock gets it right twice a day doesn't it?
And these egotistical little shits who make these continual predictions and even more offensive.. assumptions... what happens to them? Do they get punished for being continually wrong? Perhaps water boarding would be apropos.. or stringing the economists up by piano wire..
Harsh you think?
Then you truly don't understand the con game being played at your peril...
The entirety of the corrupt stock market is based on two emotions-- greed and fear. There are very few who invest in the market who trust in themselves and their investing acumen. The vast majority are emasculated cowards-- following every rally, buying on every rumor or hunch-- a pack mentality.
So will there be an announcement of QE this Friday? Who knows.. Who cares..
The bottom 99% doesn't benefit in any way, great or small..
But we say when QE3 does come, let it be as impotent as probably the man who implemented it, and let it fail so miserably to jump start the market, that the Fed admit Finally it is out of 'bullets' or 'tools' in the ole' 'tool chest'
