This is why QE always makes me happy, despite wrecking our country: When I woke up this morning at about 7:45am I had already made a 25% net gain in my FOREX account from a tiny position I put on last night (I sold the US dollar to buy the Swiss Franc). If you had done the same thing in an account with only $4,000.00 you would have made over $1,000.00 profit while you were sleeping! QE is great for traders, the ultra-wealthy and politicians... but bad for this country. But at least I have a way to make money off of it to offset the declining standard of living and rising prices of everything! Thanks, I guess, Bernanke...

It's Helicopter Ben! Everyone, to the streets! It's raining dollars! 5 minutes later:"How much you want for that Snickers bar?" "Since you're a friend, only $4,999.00.."

It seriously makes me wonder how this guy gets through life. We're talking as simple of an analogy as to why this won't work as adding too much water to the soup. It thins it out, and you can't taste the soup anymore. Our dollar is a promise. The more of the promise we print, the less valuable it becomes.
