Yeah, yeah, no change from the Fed QE/ZIRP blahblahblah. I am sick of the incessant Fed watching . . . Its become so predictable and boring. (We are due for a major shake up from them one of these days!)

Meanwhile, here are the more interesting reads that caught my eye today:

• The Long View of China’s Currency (NYT [1])

• Robert Shiller: Seven More Years of Hard Times? (Project-Syndicate [2])

• Worst Over in Global Poll Pointing to Reduced Market Returns  (Bloomberg [3])

• Richard Bernstein’s unusual take: Non-US groups reaped fruits of Bush tax cuts (FT.com [4])

• Goldman whacked: Egged on by hedge funds, Oliver Stone turns on Goldman Sachs (Economist [5])

• Taxing Sin: A Win-Win for Everyone? (Capital Gains and Games [6])

• Matt Taibbi: BP’s Shock Waves: How the oil giant’s catastrophic spill in the Gulf could trigger another financial meltdown (Rolling Stone [7])

• Woody Allen on Faith, Fortune Tellers and New York (NYT [8])

• Ouch! Can You Really Break Your Penis? (Scientific American [9])

• 500 Years of Science, Reason & Critical Thinking (modern-science [10])
