    They've done this twice before since the 08 crash. image

    History will lump them all together as QE Infinity.

    dollar index shot up as soon as the announcement was made. Funny how the markets acted surprised.

    guess there was a reason they called it QE3.

    The 2008 financial crisis and recession was 6 years ago. QE is just ending now? We're pretty much due for another recession pretty soon. I predict we'll be seeing a re-run of QE in the not-too-distant future.
