Understanding Gold's Massive Impact on Fed Maneuvering
Just about everyone knows Alan Greenspan. As central bankers go, he may just be the most famous ever. Even today, 1 in 6 Americans still think he's the current chair of the Federal Reserve.
As Fed chief from 1987 until 2006, Greenspan oversaw the latter part of the greatest stock bull market in history.
For that, some called him "The Maestro."
From other quarters, the names are far less flattering. Many blame him for inflating massive stock and real estate bubbles, resulting in financial devastation across the economy.
Well, these days Greenspan is acting rather schizophrenic. In fact, you won't believe what he's saying now, unless you understand where he's coming from.

Stock Market Today Moving on FOMC, FB, and ORB News
Good morning! Futures indicate the stock market today will open just a notch above yesterday's close, despite a rally in Europe. The markets are patiently waiting for an announcement after the close of the Fed Open Market Committee's two-day meeting. After the recent market slip – down 6.8% in less than one month – the big question is: "Will the Fed extend QE3?"
The most important number to watch today – besides the Dow – is the Federal Reserve's interest rate on fed funds, which will likely remain unchanged at a range of 0% to 0.25%.
