With QE3 about to wind down, some are declaring that the age of Quantitative Easing is finally over. These probably forgot they said the same thing when QE1, QE2 and Operation Twist ended. Clueless "expertise" aside, who can really blame them: by now it has become all too clear that the Fed itself has absolutely no idea what it is doing and has bet (all in) not only the (taxpayer) farm but all of (crony) capitalism, that it can solve every problem just by printing free wealth for 1% of the population while at the same time impoverishing the rest, leading to precisely the record inequality... that the Fed itself rails against. A script worthy of a soap opera, one that Kim Jong Un would shoot you just for watching it. But at least one entity has got the Fed all figured out and knows exactly what is going to happen next. The Media. Actually, scratch that. Here is Reuters from a few hours ago... And CNBC. But nothing compares to MarketWatch.
