Well, soon after we posted our thoughts about the overall equity market (S&P 500), Mr. Hilsenrath, 'the market savior' journalist of The Wall Street Journal, published an article discussing the Fed's QE potential exit strategy. Hilsenrath has been a savior for the equity market the last couple of years, as pretty much every time there was bad economic news, he would get 'hints' from the Fed that further QE would be pushed to up the stock market, hopefully increasing everyone's wealth via the good 'ol 'trickle down' economics.
