To ease or not to ease; that is the question.

There is an interesting article about how the FED and the ECB fake printing to influence the Markets:

What brought up this speculation? The immediate precursor for the article is the revised report that the economy grew by 1.7% instead of the previously reported 1.5%. The conclusion of the Author is that things are not bad enough to ease. Really? The growth needed for full employment is 3%. A growth of 1.7% is not much better than 1.5%.

We have heard speculation about QE3. So far, it is speculation aimed at sustaining the Stock Market.
