Some important info is expected to be revealed about the fed tapering issue tomorrow - what do you guys think the outcome will be? Will the fed effectively taper or not in september?

Let the crashing of the markets and currencies begin.  Grin Seriously, they are between a rock and a hard place. We already have 10 year bond rates going up with all the printing (very bad sign), once they
slow that down, things are likely to eventually implode. The markets are, of course, distorting a terrible economy and now the markets (without all that money coming in) will be hurt. Then what will he media say?
Or is the slowdown of "asset" purchasing things that effects consumers more directly?

That said, these people still have power and I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow manage to keep the ship afloat a bit longer. But I can't imagine more than 6 months to 18 months. We'll see...
