Portfolio? Is that what they call it. The government and the MSM continue to spit out these news releases as if people still believe they are grounded in something other than fantasy, manipulation and off the books chicanery. Who on earth are they going to sell to, another mole?

Separately, but not really separately, the 'no QE3' story has gained enough traction over the last few weeks that maybe policy makers can ease off the jawboning for a bit.
