Is it any wonder that Stephen Roach is now ex-Morgan Stanley? Today’s brilliant truthiness in his interview on Bloomberg TV is an absolute must-watch as the veteran market practitioner notes that the Fed is forced to act next week and while consumers are telling you that they want to pay down debt – which all the monetray stimulus in the world is not going to change – that QE is nothing but crack to a ridiculously addicted market. With 70% of the US economy in a balance sheet recession, the Fed knows this (which he notes is now run by WSJ’s Jon Hilsenrath since what he prints must be adhered to by Ben for fear of market disappointment) and is “dangling QE in front of the markets like raw meat – but it has not worked and it will not work!” But critically, he believes, the euphoric response of markets will be tempered since they have become “used to the fact that all of this unconventional monetary easing by the central bank is just not what it is supposed to be.”
