When Will QE4 Be Announced?

Post by MediumTex »

I'm going to predict that QE4 will be announced on the day that the world is set to end, December 21, 2012.

That will be a Friday.

A whole year? I think it will happen sooner for political reasons. I'm thinking January 2012.

craigr,

Do you think Ben Bernanke has some sort of alliance to Obama?  What political reasons are you thinking?

I think you may be talking about QE3.

This is QE4.

Gotta keep your QEs straight.

I think the entire monolith has an alliance to itself and that includes protecting the people elected to the top spots. The Fed Chairman is certainly open to political pressure to do certain things.
