Here is what you need to read. And there is NEVER expected rate hike at the onset of tightening.
``The risks to growth were now thought to be more closely
balanced by the risks to inflation,'' the minutes said.
``Accordingly, the committee felt that it was no longer
appropriate for the statement to emphasize the downside risks to
growth.''
and a this:
``Several members noted that it was unlikely to be appropriate to ease policy in response to information suggesting that the economy was slowing further or even contracting slightly in the near term.''
SO you will ignore the Cry-in-Goldman's-beer request for more pig food handouts, eh? It won't depend on the data coming out of Goldman? Are you afraid of pitchforks?

Very informative thanks.
If they have 4x Tsy then our tools are complete because then we can construct butterflies and curve games at will with acceptable leverage.
Really, thanks!
Mtgspy, I have learned a lot from tickerforum crowd... a lot of what to do, and a lot of what not to do (i.e. get married to your thesis).
I am still long TLT in one of my accounts. TNX 2% is what I see in front of me.
That is true wisdom Greenie.
Blaming is Washington DC pasttime and Ben is sitting pretty in the crosshair. Will payoff at the same time as your CL trade. :D
hey MTGSPY I know you on occassion share trading notes with Gentle Ben. Has he sent you any emails like "Im long crude bitch" or some such shit or is he just still short financials
I bet that basterd had huge oil positions. Perhaps he has been holding out on you
Ben MAY be able to hide from me. But he cannot hide from Uncle Sam's auditor. If he had a smelly drop of crude on his portfolio I believe that his next job is ambassador to one of the 2 sq miles Pacific islands.
Yea, he doesn't have money to justify a blind trust which could be "managed." The other investment options are diversified funds, of which can't be sector styled, and government bonds.
it was a joke... i was refering to this

thats it
I know...just saying.
Nice sporty red douche bag...
Flashy!
:)
yes the women love me
thanks
But how do you know I was joking? :)
Ben KNOWS with 100% certainty about what happens to banks who haven't raised money when he shuts the window to do so (by starting a tightening cycle). And he will tell you in private.
I know someone at the Fed and he has vanguard funds and bonds...disclosures are required on a regular basis.
Bernanke was a professor not the former chairman of GS/HAL.
kid i grew up with is at yale
he is PHD cadidate...we chat on occasion...he also teaches undergrad econ
was talking to him about the market and he has little interest...totally blew me away...more interested in talking about dairy consumption in emerging markets
geeesh
Academics have intellectual curiosities they want to fulfill, speculators want to make money. That is what distinguishes the two.
Bernanke is an academic. Even with insider information, he would likely find a way to get stopped out if he tried a direct short on a financial company.
That is a problem indeed. I am sad to hear the lack of interest on those PhD people of reality.
