Is Qe3 Really Qefizzle?

QE3 is open ended, they can just keep printing with nothing to back it. This is going to be like a ship hitting the rocks sooner than we believe. Inflation is already here but under reported. The Fed thinks they can control inflation but will find out they can't. If you think the price of things are high today, wait until next year at this time.

The metals markets are heavily manipulated by bankers using naked shorts to keep them artificially low. There will soon be a squeeze in the physical metals markets. Paper contracts are estimated to be about 100 times the amount of actual metals available to back them. Hold your physical bullion and be patient, higher prices in the future are guaranteed.

This whole economy is masked. How is it possible to even function when the whole world is in debt.

The fed can't keep printing unlimited amounts of unbacked paper money forever. They're trying to drown us with flood tides of increasingly devalued paper money, and the final outcome of that effort will be the total devaluation and final collapse of the American dollar. The inevitable ultimate consequences of the ineptitude, incompetence and mismanagement that have characterized Washington (Republicans and Democrats - liberals and conservatives - ALL of them) for many years now horrify me. I'm afraid the America my grandchildren and great-grandchildren will grow up in will be a nightmare when compared to our world today. It could well get that way a whole lot sooner than that, too.

One of these years the Au, Ag, Pt & Pd stacks that all us stacking maniacs are piling up these days are going to be worth universes more than the chump change values they command today. That time may get here a whole lot sooner than any of us presently think, too. I intend to keep on stacking until I can't afford to put another penny into it without giving up buying food.

Like the old song goes.... "Enjoy yourself - it's later than you think!"

It seems that way at times. So much of the pricing in the market today has to do with expectations of a complex and ever-changing future, rather than more conventional things like fundamentals. Eventually, though, fundamentals matter and will exert their influence over price. This is probably being delayed now by a number of things, including investor exhaustion. Many investors feel as if they have been hit on the head from so many different directions that they are just physically and mentally numb... and indifferent to further hits. That said, PM prices likely will rise and overcome this at some point, just not so far.

I think that the thing that bothers me most about QE-whatever is that it is as if the Fed is saying that the economy cannot function without their meddling in it. In fact, both the Fed and the gov are distorting the market with policies that seem marginally effective at best. This leads to a crisis of confidence in investors who do not understand these complex policies. Does anyone? Apparently not the US Congress because they seem to pass bills without reading them, "so they can find out what's in them". Did that seem to anyone else like writing a check but keeping the amount blank so someone else could fill it in later? We WILL find out the amount, just not right now... so sign here.

I read an article on the net last night wherein it was stated that rising gold prices with increasing money supply was a myth and that there was "no evidence to support this"? Huh? Somehow, the author seemed not fully conversant with economic history or the root cause of inflation.

Thats the biggest scam of them all. Its not improving theyve just stopped counting a significant amount of people because they maxed out the 99 weeks.

We wont see a real improvement until something gives people faith or a new begging so to speak. To many people are down on the economy and housing ect and until something gets those attitudes to change itll be more of the same

Unless expert.. Here are two good sites to keep up on, collapse, deflation, or inflation.

As far as 40B MBS a month, to me it appears the fed is backstopping the housing market instead of bailing banks direct, but still investors would use that money for speculation in buying RE for rentals, or building rentals, or building more houses. I feel government investment should only be for owner occupied, or the government should just start fixing the houses up themselves, like habitat for humanity, stop trying to make a profit out of it, all they are doing is feeding the banks, via force feeding the consumer the bankers poison, to me, it's an endless loop of stupidity.
