Monday Market Manipulation – Draghi and the Doves Talk us Up

Dove, dove, dove . Dove, dove, dove – now that Fisher is gone, that's all we have at the Fed these days.  This week we hear from Mester, Williams, Bullard, Evans and Lockhart – all doves on the Fed and, of course Super Mario speaks at 10am (EST) to get our markets off to a good start for the week with his own special brand of doveishness .  While our Fed, the ECB and the BOJ are doing all they can to talk the markets higher, China is warning its investors that the run that has pushed their market 75% in less than a year is unsustainable.   A spokesman for the China Securities Regulatory Commission said on Friday : “Investors should be cautious about market risks.  We shouldn’t be thinking if we don’t buy now, we will miss it.” A previous warning from the CSRC was ignored. The Shanghai Composite jumped 2.8% to surpass 3,000 on Dec 8th, the first trading day after the securities body on Dec 5th cautioned investors about growing market risks.   The valuations of some listed companies are “relatively high,” the CSRC spokesman said in Friday’s statement. “There are about 700 companies in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges with a price-earnings ratio of above 100,” the spokesman said. Stocks continue to rise in China on speculation that the Government will do whatever it takes to sustain a 7% growth rate, which means lots of FREE MONEY will have to be printed.  I think that's a fabulous idea – all Governments should print unlimited supplies of free money until all of our economies are growning at 7% and then everything will be AWESOME and nothing can possibly go wrong with that plan, can it?   I certainly hope not, because that's the plan we're pursuing at the moment!       IN PROGRESS
