The weekly TLB is still trending up. Even when the S&P fell to 994 the other week it didn't take out the weekly reversal price. That's what I'm waiting for.

Which to me indicates, regardless of any jawboning to the contrary, QE will continue. This may incite a stampeed into risk assets and hard assets.

Which to me indicates, regardless of any jawboning to the contrary, QE will continue.

This may incite a stampeed into risk assets and hard assets.

If QE is extending, in the long run, we're all screwed royally. If QE is ended, in the short term, we will feel some serious pain. To me it seems obvious. So which way does Benito go?

Will the elites be well served and well-informed and the rest allowed to eat cake? Or will there be some withdrawal of gov intervention to put the elites "on their own"? My guess is the fed and the gov are now joined at the hip. Gov now knows who to serve. Cake anyone? Excellent subtlety and efficient use of a very few words.
