The big test will be the debt ceiling cap and continuing irresolution trifecta in March 2011 - Will it turn into a big scrum commencing in a Government shutdown? Will Congress kick both cans down the street, and work on the third can, the 2012 budget? Or will two cans get kicked and the third ignored? Or will there actually be a 2011 budget?

The Legislature is in the driver's seat with the budget, it will be very interesting to see what happens.

FRB: Beige Book--Summary--June 8, 2011

It is looking like fire sale prices to me so I pulled the trigger to get back into stocks. Most likely I will stay a long time until something moves me. I am still wishing for some hard asset funds and hoping that the Roth will get implemented sooner than later. I am in hard assets in other accounts as the currencies worldwide continue to be debased by governments everywhere although I am hoping for some good results on my investment in iShares MSCI Switzerland Index Fund ( EWL ). Good luck to everyone.
