    QE ending and US markets look like they are testing the floor of this upwardwards trend channel if it hasn't already broken it yet...

    No one knows, I'm just here for the LOLz

    Apparently the market for the quality of the assets that Mario wants to purchase is pretty small so I don't believe QE lite or whatever you want to call it is going to have much if any effect at all.

    Now that QE is over has the FED handed over the money printing baton over to the ECB, let the US save face and keep the pump going

    If by some magic method the ECB will be allowed to circumvent their law on money printing.

    I read somewhere, no link sorry, that Draghi is less than popular in the top job with his cohorts (conspirators?).

    Russia's winter will be the real test of them all.
