Unlikely. US data has been positive lately, so I expect a better outlook from the FED but with a caution for EU risk.

THere is no more bazooka, truthfully. There is, however, an arsenal of mystical, mythical weapons created for talking down risk and talking up asset prices. I suspect the "markets" will construe whatever big Benny and his Inkjets say to be wildly positive for the markets. Put differently, I think we'll get our xmas rally - a last hurrah, before the roller coaster heads into the abyss. But, doesn't matter what I or anyone thinks, right? Just follow the markets, friend. It'll tell you what to do.

Bought put options on SDS.

You think BEN will come out with bazooka?
Same here. The markets want QE so bad it looks like a crack addict at times but Ben and Mario are not going there. They realize that QE2 did nothing to improve the economy.

Not immediately. If recall correctly, markets typically jump up when they announce. Expect the sell off tomorrow.

somebody told me it favors trend reversal especially on intraday basis. can anybody verify it?
The goal is not uniformity. It is understanding and idea exchange.
