Persistently low inflation poses a more immediate threat to the U.S. economy than rising prices, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said on Wednesday

Coming from South Africa where high inflation is always the problem, this seems hard to work out. Why wouldn't low inflation be a good thing? I would think that if inflation is low you would keep salary increases low and everything would be normal.

I've been quiet lately. I made some very bad calls recently so I'm not ready to advise.

Well predicted moon, red across my watchlist today. I noticed MoneyPenny last posted when the fed said they were extending the QE. Must have had some very profitable longs and left for a private island ;)

MoneyPenny hurry back I miss my morning reports  :'(

Had you invested R2m in a hypothetical 60% pa performer or 5%pm and withdrawn R30k pm then after one year, your portfolio would grow to R3.114m.

Agreed, now can you tell me which will be next years 60% share :LHST:

China reported the biggest drop in exports since 2009
Asia is mixed, nikkei slightly down, hang seng up nearly a percent
German CPI unchanged as predicted

Not much else happening until this evening. At 8pm we've got the FOMC minutes, and just after 10 we get to hear from helicopter Ben

I remember the days when good news was good and bad news bad, but QE seems to make a mockery of that :wtf:

I'm curious Orca, it doesn't look like you added any PNC in the competition this month. Why not?

Durable goods orders above expectations, as were new home sales. The US is heading up and taking us along for the ride. Tomorrow at 14:30 we'll have the US GDP numbers, if they're good then we might be able to bid this bear goodnight or maybe just good nap.

So since the GDP numbers weren't good, I take it QE is still coming for some time?
