"it should be understood that fulfilling our mandate sometimes requires us to go beyond standard monetary policy tools. When markets are fragmented or influenced by irrational fears, our monetary policy signals do not reach citizens evenly across the euro area. We have to fix such blockages to ensure a single monetary policy and therefore price stability for all euro area citizens. This may at times require exceptional measures. But this is our responsibility as the central bank of the euro area as a whole." -Draghi

Z: Drahi gets it ... we have gone from "irrational exuberance" to "irrational fears" in this cycle. i wonder if he had the greenspan quote in mind and i know it was well before the 3/24/00 spx top, but, intentional or not, it's interesting.

the "exceptional measures" is the key, of course. it clears the legal path for the ecb to do lots more within their mandate.

Very good point on the Draghi hat tip to Greenspan's "irrational exuberance". We truly are at the mirror image of the late 90's when the Sheeple were stampeding into stocks at record high valuations relative to bonds/cash. Now we have the Sheeple bailing out of stocks en masse and into bonds/cash at record NEGATIVE real yields. The link below is a nice illustration of stock/bonds relative valuation.

It's truly a "Pessimism Bubble" and it is not a question of if but when it will finally pop.

Top Story: "Federal Reserve to Crash the Markets" ... this was the top story at google finance side window when i am posting it. It discusses the crash, 1987 style, and financial armageddon, apparently sometime in the next couple of weeks:

I think we need to get past the blockade at spx 1413--1416. As soon as that happens

(probably soon) we are good to go.

Full moon 8/31/12 should be a low and time for another rally. Maybe that's what the market is waiting for.
