[11:49] {Threei} - US equity markets are around the unchanged mark this morning following some weak US data and strange gyrations in a wide basket of stocks blamed on an out-of-control algorithm.

[13:27] {Threei} US) Preview: FOMC rate decision due around 14:15ET- The FOMC policy announcement today is the first central bank decision in a busy 24 hour period for central banks. Some market watchers are hoping that Bernanke's recent reiteration that the Fed is ready to do more if necessary will result in a QE3 announcement today, that might be followed in semi-coordinated fashion by a raft of new extraordinary policy programs from the ECB on Thursday.
[13:27] {Threei} - It is more likely, however, that the FOMC will not take aggressive new action today for a number of reasons. First, the Fed may be reluctant to take on additional balance sheet commitments after it just extended Operation Twist at the June meeting. Today's meeting does not include a press conference: Bernanke might see wisdom in waiting for the September FOMC meeting which will have a press conference that will allow a fuller explanation of the reasoning for another balance sheet expansion. It would also allow him to set the table for QE3 at the Jackson Hole symposium in late August. Also, although economic data has turned decidedly sour in the last few months, a slightly better than expected advance Q2 GDP print last week and the prospect for a better number in this Friday's payroll data could give the Fed some cover to hold off on QE3, allowing them to gather another month's worth of data to confirm the economy is stalling.
[13:28] {Threei} Other options that are open to the FOMC include cutting the IOER or further revisions in the policy statement language to convey the Fed's readiness to act. If the Fed wants to show deep concern about the economic slowdown, it could shift its low rate pledge from late 2014 to mid 2015 as another incremental step before resorting to QE3.

[14:14] {Threei} *FOMC HOLDS FED FUNDS RATE TARGET AT 0.25% (AS EXPECTED): ECONOMIC ACTIVITY HAS DECELERATED SOMEWHAT IN 1H; REITERATES LOW RATE PLEDGE THROUGH 2014; HOUSING SECTOR REMAINS DEPRESSED- Vote: 11-1

[14:15] {ese} you said everthing is.......is what?
[14:15] {Will49} that too
[14:15] {Threei} to Ron's "gold pounded" ese
[14:15] {Threei} - The Committee will closely monitor incoming information on economic and financial developments and will provide additional accommodation as needed to promote a stronger economic recovery and sustained improvement in labor market conditions in a context of price stability.
[14:16] {Threei} this is the key phrase
[14:16] {Will49} oh, i feel so much better now
[14:16] {Threei} no immediate decisions, just as yesterday's outlook post forecast
[14:16] {ese} market tanks but everthing seems fine to me
[14:16] {Threei} no QE3 right away, ese
[14:16] {Threei} that's all
[14:17] {Will49} market no likee
[14:17] {thomcbell} tough to go meaningfully short with ecb tomorrow
[14:17] {Threei} market hoped for further easing and didn't get it
[14:17] {dolores} and no extension of low rates
[14:17] {Threei} right
[14:17] {nemo} l .25 upro
[14:17] {Threei} - To continue through the end of the year its program to extend the average maturity of its holdings of securities as announced in June
[14:18] {nemo} out
[14:18] {nemo} sheesh
[14:19] {nemo} l tna .51
[14:19] {nemo} stop under .30
[14:19] {nemo} small btw
[14:20] {Threei} while this is valid setup, diaper should be kept close
[14:20] {Threei} good one
[14:20] {nemo} partialed .80
06[14:20] * Threei slaps nemo around a bit with a large roll of cash
[14:20] {ese} the fact that they didn't get the easing to my mind means things are fine......
[14:21] {nemo} diaper, hemmrhoid pillow, and KY
[14:21] {Threei} you haven't read that post ese...
[14:21] {ese} not yet
[14:21] {Threei} please do
[14:21] {nemo} I pick up the percosets later
[14:21] {Threei} there is absolutely nothing fine
[14:22] {nemo} stop to b/e
[14:22] {Threei} very different considerations influence the timing of more easing
[14:23] {nemo} he won't move until Europe does, he has to worry about the strength of the dollar against the Euro
[14:23] {nemo} more at .00
[14:23] {nemo} When Euro starts printing, he'll have to print to keep the value of the $ down
[14:23] {Threei} better yet, EU falls apart - he won't have to do antyhing but print dollars into huge demand
[14:23] {nemo} stop to .59, I prefer .69 but it doesn't make sense
[14:24] {dino} i think thts correct vad
[14:24] {nemo} o.k. up to .69
[14:24] {RonS} $10 gold bounce
[14:25] {Threei} I am telling you... while they of course make all the PC sounds about how they want EU to survive, its collapse is their wet dream
[14:26] {ese} big economic picture things are not fine i get that.....i'm just concentrating on what i see in front of me at this moment....that fomc didn't make 2 hoots of a difference to my overall feelings about this market......it's negative ....and thats always in the back of my mind when i make a trade
[14:26] {nemo} out .68
[14:26] {nemo} I may regret that
[14:26] {nemo} yeap
[14:26] {Threei} well, the idea is:
[14:27] {nemo} x drips .82
[14:27] {nemo} looky
[14:27] {Threei} market wants to go up if there is additional easing
[14:27] {Threei} because it means additionasl money ingflux
[14:27] {nemo} shorted .81
[14:27] {Threei} so it creeps up in hope for easing to be hinted clearly in the ;anguage, if not announced outright
[14:27] {ese} ya definitely.....
[14:27] {nemo} stop is above .90
[14:27] {Threei} and drops when there is none of that
[14:28] {Threei} that's how Fed=related part looks
[14:28] {Threei} then there is EU-related part
[14:28] {Threei} existential threat
[14:29] {nemo} cmon .71
[14:29] {nemo} yeah
[14:29] {nemo} that's better

[14:33] {dino} that was a good one
[14:33] {nemo} sublime
[14:33] {dino} of course, gore most likely invented algos
[14:34] {RonS} heard his cousin died...loved watching him debate buckley in '68during the dem convention

[14:53] {nemo} short small X .70
[14:53] {nemo} stop above .80
[14:53] {ese} ya know.......once again these fomc goofs have nothing positive to say about the country.......things have improved since the greedy meltdown.....people are working hard.....the countrys strong we can get through this ...etc etc etc......i rest my case with this Berdumb dumb goof. how about a little positive reinforcement for a change.....
[14:54] {Will49} tell us what you really think
[14:54] {ese} give people some hope........this ain't the end of the world
[14:54] {ese} although you can see it from nemo's place
[14:55] {dino} you have to understand ese, that the incombants' tactics are fear
[14:56] {ese} for sure eh
[14:56] {Threei} also, this kind of thetorics is not FOMC department at all
[14:56] {Threei} they deal (or at least should) in numbers
[14:56] {Threei} not in touchy-feely phrases
[14:57] {Will49} have to keep the masses sedated
[14:57] {Threei} the minute I see Fed chairman saying anything of this kind, I know last hope is lost
[14:57] {ese} lol.........good point
[14:58] {Threei} that'd mean he lost last grip on reality and can only say feel-good things
[14:59] {Threei} also, ese... why do you think ssying that things are good, or better, or anything like this, would make anything better? :)
[14:59] {Threei} all you can get is irritate people more... they are not blind and know very well that things get worse
[14:59] {dino} ese, consider all the b.s. good talk out of the euro leaders.
[15:00] {Threei} yep, they do just that
[15:00] {Threei} look where it got them
[15:00] {dino} the world is in a very bad place at the moment, imo
