From David Stock via International Man: International Man: Whether we like it or not, the reality is, the Federal Reserve has an enormous influence over the dollar and the stock market.

Charles Hugh Smith: Even The Crash Test Dummies Are Nervous
From Of Two Minds: Those trusting the Fed to be visibly weak, corrupt and incompetent forever might be in for an unwelcome surprise.
