yeah everyones been absent on this thread usually. thats why i was happy to talk on this thread. get teh topic back on track. in answer to you observances. well, i cant see investor sentiment turning, as turning would equatee to tham becoming positive. but if there is cheap money coming in due to any QE, it would be used to buy shares, but thats not a change in sentiment exactly as i see it, thats just banks and funds using free money to invest to get a return because they are suffering from really diabolical bottom lines and need to make money before the real problem starts. Any other money will flow to gold. and possibly perceived safe assets as decreed by funds. ie bonds and foreign currencies. So if there is stimuls, it would not see sentiment turning to the positive, it will just be a collective sigh of releif as we will are grateful of the respite.
If they dont do anything though, then obvioulsy GOLD will take off rapidly.
I for one do not want to see that.
I want at least one more run on the markets before things get too big to save.
Lets hope the ECB do the right thing and screw up the mastrichht treaty by circumventing their own rules to support failed states with money they create then they can lend that to in order to pay off debt to the states that are going under due to .... too much debt... and thats ok, casue the ECB obviously know they will get all the money back again.
