Half truth. The Stock Market wants a QE3. It will spur more trading with weaker dollars. Weaker dollars means everyone else in the U.S. looses buying power. No one will save. Can’t make money. Forcing capital into the stock market. This easy money binge is almost over. It is hurting the majority of the U.S. citizens to help the stock market and government.

Europe Will Implode if ECB Doesn’t Act Soon: Bob Doll

Dollar up, U.S. Private Sector (70% U.S. GDP) up, economic allies of U.S. Private Sector up, U.S. stock market dip, everything else down.

Last week stock markets rose in reaction to hopes that a strategy to fix the debt crisis in Europe was being developed. Yesterday, the stock market fell as German leaders showed little progress on plans to minimize Europe's debt. 

Expectations that a plan of action would be completed by October 23rd showed to be too optimistic, resulting in emotional let downs and dropping stocks. The U.S. stock index hit an all time low for the year on Monday, making it the worst day since Oct. 3rd. 

Jason Pride, the director of investment strategy at Glendale, a wealth management firm in Philadelphia, stated, "It's completely a reaction to Germany. The reality is everybody is hanging on to what Europe's doing."

French and German leaders gave false hope by promising to create a solution to Europe's debt crisis by the end of October, exciting stock markets around the world. Some German leaders are planning to have a strategy formulated by Sunday, while other leaders say plans to tackle to debt crisis could last well into the next year. 

Everything relies on Greek government bonds, which have been the driving force behind the dramatic swings in the stock markets lately. If Greece defaults on its debt, then the premiums on Greek bonds plummet, and will cause the banks who own them to take heavy losses. This could result in banks not being able to lend to each other, which would result in another crisis similar to that experienced in 2008. The European debt crisis holds the global financial system in its hands, which could fall through its fingers like sand.

Americans are shopping, but only when they are getting a deal. Consumers are taking advantage of big sales and discounts buying affordable luxuries last month. According to the International Council of Shopping Centers, revenue rose 5.5 percent in the month of September showing strong gains for big retailers like Target, Macy's and Limited brands.

Ken Perkins, President of Retail Metrics, stated, "Bargains drove the month. There were lot of deals to be had, and we expect to see that follow through the rest of the year."

Despite these strong increases in September, many retailers are showing concerns that shoppers are worried about unemployment, a weak housing market, and a tumultuous stock market. Thus, causing shoppers to look for the type of bargains that result in a significant drop in retailers' profits.
