Dec. 15 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. House is considering reinstituting the Depression-era Glass-Steagall Act, which barred bank holding companies from owning other financial companies, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said today.
A renewal of the 1933 law “is certainly under discussion” by House members, Hoyer, a Maryland Democrat, told reporters in Washington. The Glass-Steagall law was repealed in 1999. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=arMrSVjq4cts&pos=1
This is an old commentary, however, it provides some background information. Reading between the lines will help you to see hidden stories.
Of course, we are seeing market trading at upper range going into the FED confirmation and the announcement. The Fed Bernanke would park the markets before his confirmation, obviously. Markets were advancing for the last 10 months using Treasury and market hype and expecting further advancement from the current level is ridiculously and obviously manipulative based on pure pump as it has been during the last 10 months.
