Sources could be helpful as some headlines are supposition vice fact and the source can lend to one's opinion on the headlines validity... just a thought
 
Can the Fed Reserve stop putting an economist on the panels and hire a freaking PR firm and get somebody to actually give status without scaring the hell out of everyone?

But what really should have people's attention is:
OPERATION TWIST

"The Fed's policymaking committee is next scheduled to meet Sept. 20 and 21. That two-day meeting was originally slated to last for one day. Economists who closely watch the central bank speculate that the Fed may use the extra day to consider a stimulus measure known as Operation Twist.
Under such a policy, the Fed would replace some of the short-term bonds already on its balance sheet, with longer-term Treasuries. The controversial move, last done in the 1960s, is meant to encourage lending and borrowing by bringing long-term interest rates down.
It's called a "twist" because it brings short-term bond rates up and long-term rates down. "

Magical accounting practice turns bonds into treasuries! :blink:

But seriously, if the American People, the House of Representatives and the Federal Reserve Bank can't get resolution on spending, THEN WHO CAN?
 
Maybe the "G" fund will rise to the occasion or is it just going to lower long term bonds so nobody can make any money on their retirement fund investments without buying stocks?
