QE3 Here We Come? Really?

The letter delivered to Ben on QE3????

Posted on Zero Hedge (emphasis added; 3/24/2011):

Something rather disturbing from a European trading desk...

TODAY TWO LARGE MACRO FUNDS OVER HERE HAVE GONE WILDLY LONG S&P. NOT LONG. WE TALKING 250% NET LONG. IT LOOKS LIKE CONCERTED ACTION ON GDP DGRADES FROM GS AND BOFA ARE THE LETTER DELIVERED TO BEN ON QE3. HUGE DIRECTIONAL BET WITH NEW CAPITAL PUT AT WORK. MOST LIKELY THE TWO INSTITUTIONS ARE COORDINATING ACTION WITH OFFICES IN CONNECTICUT. CHECK INFLOWS OF BLUE CHIP HEDGE FUNDS IN JAN FEB. APPLY 2.5 LEVERAGE. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SOME 40-60BN PUT AT WORK PRIMARILY ON EMINIS AT THE MOMENT. WHETHER SOME EXTERNAL FORCE WILL LEAVE THEM HIGH AND DRY I DON'T KNOW. BUT IF ANYTHING SEEMED TO BE AT LEAST NOT TOO IRRATIONAL UP TO NOW, IN THIS THIRD WAVE, BE READY FOR REAL ROCK AND ROLL.

One big rigged casino, I guess always has been. As long as the music is on, you gotta dance, even if the world blows up.

Got gold and silver? They got slightly cheaper today, thanks to CME.

Thank you! So you're the source of the facebook traffic...

About this super-long S&P position... reminds me of the Societe Generale recommendation some time ago - which was to go long on S&P500 by out of money LEAP calls. 20 to 30% out of the money.
