QE, QE2...........from Rico
QE worked so very well that 'the smart money' started to bail out.
By QE2 the smart ones had already gone.
When the clueless finally get a clue and head for the exits, it will have been game over for a long while.
Nations are not TBTF, and there is no one who can bail out Uncle Sammy...but, perhaps that was the 'plan' all along.

The Left's Final Push to Transform America
A new entry, with video: "The Hate-America Left Mobilizes for Revolution."
Confidence..............from Rico
When 'confidence' dies, the 'confidence game' ends. Game over.
It was a HUGE wakeup call when Bill Gross of PIMCO headed for the exits re: US Treasurys. It is always a good idea to follow the money...especially the smart money!
Only China, Japan, and OPEC....and the Fed continue to buy US Treasurys (bonds for 'progressives').
- We all know what is happening in Japan right now, and many of us think they will have to 'sell' Treasurys to repatriate cash to rebuild from the twin-disasters of Tsunami and Fukushima.
- China has been backing-away from purchasing Treasurys as fast as it can without tanking their remaining holdings by creating a panic before they can exit.
- OPEC? Yeah, there is a 'stable' entity we can count on! Again, anyone not distracted by "America's Got Talent" or "Prancing With The Stars" has a pretty good idea of what is currently happening in the Arab oil-producing countries right now.
- The FED? Benjamin has a 'plan' allright...it consists of the FED being the largest buyer of US debt (look at the Treasury flows chart attached).
Unreported by the MSM, even by the Financial Media/FTV is this stunner:
- For the FIRST time ever in our history Americans are refusing to buy their own country's debt!
This is not a good time to be 'long' bonds, but one should be looking further ahead and consider that after bonds 'die' the Dollar is next.....

Beauty Beyond Compare, Elizabeth Taylor
I can recall, even in 1944, sitting in the cavernous theatre in my hometown, watching “National Velvet” and thinking that Elizabeth Taylor was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. As I grew older I continued to think of her in terms of her stunning beauty, only gradually realizing that she was also an excellent actress.
She was rather fearless, taking on roles whose characters had all the human flaws of character, but who were never boring. She could be forgiven everything for being so beautiful.
Her seven marriages, twice to Richard Burton, had a tragic quality as she seemed to be on an endless search for true love. Being larger than life seemed to be a curse.
Along the way we tended to forget she had four children, ten grandchildren, and four great grandchildren. How could a goddess be a mother and grandmother? But she was and a good friend to many fellow performers.
In Hollywood where beautiful women were its stock-in-trade, Taylor endured and triumphed.
For those of her generation like myself, her death comes as a reminder of our own mortality, but her film career ensures she will live on beyond mere life.
Few actresses of her era will be recalled in a similar fashion, despite their own body of work. There were those as talented, as prolific, but none as memorable for nothing less than a face that every camera loved.
One thinks of the iconic Marilyn Monroe, but her quality was one of pure sensuality that obscured her talent whereas Taylor brought not just heat, but a seriousness to her roles that demanded that you pay attention to Maggie in “A Cat On a Hot Tin Roof”, “Night of the Iguana”, roles created by Tennessee Williams, playwright and poet.
I think my generation was fortunate to have shared its life with Elizabeth Taylor and with films of real substance such as “A Place in the Sun”, “Butterfield 8”, and “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”
The characters she brought to life on the screen were not cartoons, but flesh and blood women. They will live on as we pay tribute to the real flesh and blood Elizabeth Taylor.

First Casualty of The Libyan War: The Constitution..........by Dan Friedman
Now that Obama has made an end-run around the Constitution, where are the neocons and the Tea Party when you need them? Glad you asked. The neocons are cheering Obama because, they say, Obama is reaffirming Bush’s “Freedom agenda.” Twits. The Tea Party is unaware that we’ve attacked another country, and anyway, it’s none of their business. Dolts. df
