Everyone is expecting Helicopter Ben to make a dramatic
announcement tomorrow; the bulls expect QE2. The trouble with QE2
is it would only screw the bears, it could not have a positive

policy. Is anybody strongly positioned for an announcement?
Is Ben going to reward bulls or disappoint them?

*should* be closer to 1.5% for Q2, if they are honest about it....
if they print a number much bigger than that, everyone will know
they are desperate to hide the economic weakness...
