FED: When will Bernanke start QE 2.0

[hugolp]

All the signs are pointing that the fake recovery is loosing steam and the market wants to correct donwards. So when do you guys think Bernanke is going to start Quantitative Easing again?

Quantitative Easing is when the Fed "prints" money and buys MBS (Mortgage Backed Securities) from the banks.

on the contrary, the fed usually goes out of its way not to do anything overtly before an election.

So I say it will happen in november to december.

AFTER the elections. "Ya so we're going to bailout and print more money" won't go over well with the voters.

Lol we posted similar thoughts at the same time- I voted 6 months. I think it will occur in the Jan-March region AFTER Christmas.
