IMHO: QE III will cause inflation which will injure those on fixed incomes.

The question should have had a choice of "less than 15%" instead of "none." Then I would have picked that. I think we will get a little bump from QEIII if it happens but not as much as 15%.

it's sad that 99% of trades in the market right now are bets on what the fed will do and have nothing to do with the companies in the market.

Scary. Earnings and guidance are even worse than expected up to this point. What would the trigger level be for Ben to ease? Perhaps 1200 on the S&P? Who knows? 10yr just broke 1.50%! I'm hoping for a short term relief bounce off the 1338 S&P level.

Im interested in the chances of QE3 in the next fed meeting (July 32-Aug 1) and whether there will be a 5% surge in stocks going into the meeting in anticipation. Then when there is no QE3, will there be a 10% drop after August 1?

Guidance from Cummins (CMI) today that caused an almost 9% drop in its share price and was released at about 1:20pm (look at the reaction in the S&P at that exact time):

Cummins Increases Dividend by 25 Percent; Updates 2012 Revenue Outlook

"We have seen demand in some markets weaken recently as growth in the global economy has slowed," continued Linebarger. "Order trends in the U.S. for trucks and power generation equipment have softened and demand in Brazil, China and India is not improving as we had previously expected. Our revenues have also been negatively impacted by the appreciation of the U.S. dollar against a number of currencies. We are making adjustments within our business to manage costs, while continuing to fund our critical growth programs and will continue to focus on execution and improving operating margins."
