ECB ACTION A "GAME CHANGER"?

SHIPPERS ARE NOT ACTING RIGHT.

"What FedEx had to say was in many ways not too surprising. Weak growth worldwide, with a Europe still in crisis and a slowing China, has crimped revenues for the company, forcing them to lower earnings estimates for the first quarter."


YRC Worldwide Inc. "has shrunk its headquarters staff from around 2,000 to less than 400 as the company tries to streamline its operations."

LONG BEACH, Calif. " (AP) -- UTi Worldwide Inc. reported Thursday that net income fell 17 percent in its fiscal second quarter as a weak economy hurt demand for freight services. CEO Eric W. Kirchner said companies were "increasingly careful" about spending on freight and logistics, and he doesn't expect weak trends to change in the second half of the year."

GAME CHANGER??

Jacob Kirkegaard of the Peterson Institute for International Economics says the plan is not a band-aid and "really does have the potential to be a game changer."
Here's how it will work: The ECB will buy unlimited government bonds so long as that euro zone government complies with an economic reform program approved by the euro zone leaders. The ECB, in turn, will offset those purchases by taking an equal amount of money out of circulation, keeping its mandate to maintain stable prices.

My job is not to HIGHLIGHT what is obvious, MY blog is based on TRUTH SEEKING which at times may be different than current market action.
Being invested and diversified currently is obviously not been a problem, but these gains are predicated on CRACK INFUSIONS and is becoming grossly disasociated with reality...something has to give.

Jack, I obviously don't give investing suggestions to my readers, this is not a paid service, this is for amusement only where I post my opinions and try to find articles of interest and chart what is going on.
If I saw real improvement in the economy or thought current policies would work, I would post that.

The market topped in 2007 remember with a new high in 52 week highs....
