Voltron's Current Forecast
Wall Street and the government are about to engage in battle and recriminations in the face of a massive wave of foreclosures. Wall Street will start yanking the leash, causing stock market crashes whenever the status quo is threatened.
The economy is fake and is dominated by fraud and criminal activity. The government is running several giant ponzi schemes.
The DOW/GOLD ratio will drop to 2.
The Fed's announcement that they are going to print a Trillion dollars and use it to buy debt is the proverbial "crossing of the Rubicon" The US Dollar is toast. I think the trigger will be some of the smaller holders of Treasurys (Singapore, for example) trying to dump their holdings before China does. This will cause a panic stampede out of Treasurys which will destroy the dollar.
Wells Fargo are liars. They have over 150 Billion in worthless home equity loans and a Trillion dollars in off-balance sheet liabilities.
Do not abuse leverage. The Fed is going to spend limitless amounts of money to pound interest rates and Gold prices into appearing "normal" when in fact they are on the verge of exploding. The tremendous volatility will shake out leveraged players.

Love the move to release every BofA email for the year to congress. Congress could however turn over the emails to NSA or some other gov org who could organize it quickly and probably bring up some new law suits. This is probably a little overkill for an email search but looks powerful for other inquiries

Saw this the other day, talks about congress demanding documents from companies that were not the recipients of govt bailouts. In the insurance company's instance I think a simple "FU" would be an appropriate response.

Ha ha, ok Bank of America, we haven't found any incriminating emails about Merrill yet, but we did find 1,546 equal opportunity violations, 5,764 instances of sexual harassment, money laundering, fraud . . .
