I remember when it used to fall 700 points! Rather than focus on the markets reaction, I would focus on Bernanke's predictions, low unemployment, low inflation and economic recovery plus housing recovery!

My neck is on the line and he did not give any Kool aid as far as GSE's, if anything he seemed to reiterate that they will be wound down not privatized but so far they haven't reacted to this, down only 3%, so maybe they called his bluff!! If there is anyone I would love to meet its Bernanke, even over Buffett, coz with the stroke of a pen he can make a lot of us better off!

So true @Nabwire. He is the man. Much more sought after today than Obama. Was a tough balancing act for him. Trying not to scare away investors and at the same time making them aware that tapering is not an option going forward. Like driving in the fog. @SufficientlyP

Gold lower... ***************** Societe Generale SA’s Michael Haigh correctly predicted this year’s rout in gold by using a math problem to measure a feeling. His arithmetic says there’s worse to come. http://mobile.bloomberg....g-rout-commodities.html

All contingent on the economy recovering, if the economy recovery prediction goes as forecasted, they will taper in mid 2014, but if it doesn't they will deploy the funds. That's a win win for investors, plus the tapering will be gradual! Thank you for the much needed updates.

Update on Syria. "Putin warns West to stop sending arms to rebels DEBKAfile June 18, 2013, 8:01 PM (GMT+02:00) After the G8 summit issued its final communiqué Tuesday, including the controversial Syrian clause, Vladimir Putin cautioned the West that if arms shipments to the rebels (as disclosed exclusively by DEBKAfile Tuesday) continue, Moscow will consider more arms transactions with the Assad regime. In another warning, the Russian leader said that European arms supplies to Syrian rebels would recoil against them from their own back yard in the hands of radical Islamists."

Wall Street REIT Success Gives Investors Hangover Part II - http://www.bloomberg.com...-subprime-hangover.html
Quote:Investors in companies buying mortgage bonds are discovering that coming late to the party can still leave them with the biggest hangover.
Mortgage real-estate investment trusts raised $7.4 billion in the first quarter by selling new shares, the most in two years, just before a plunge in the value of the firms. American Capital Agency Corp. (AGNC) has declined 20 percent since offering $2 billion in February and Armour Residential REIT Inc. (ARR) has slumped 26 percent after raising $444 million that month.
“It was the absolute wrong time to raise money,” said Julian Mann, who helps oversee $6 billion in bonds as a vice president at Los Angeles-based First Pacific Advisors LLC. “Rather than turn money away, these asset gatherers chose to double-down.”
Déjà vu $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!
