Fed loses its mojo

The Dow hit another record high and the Japanese stock market rung the bell for a 15-year high this week following statements by Fed Chairman Janet Yellen before Congress that the she was losing patience. (Actually, she said the Fed would remove the word from its policy statement.) 

Both markets have been helped by the Big EZ's firing up its money presses. Much of the new issue of euros will swim the pond and dry out in the US stock market. Also, margin debt and debt by corps to buy back their own stocks are at record levels.
