Happy Monday

I'm speaking at a conference in Baltimore today, and I'll be traveling in the first half of the week.  So, posting will be very light. Here are some things I'm reading this morning ...

Here's a list of what the Fed needs to see to start tapering its QE program. Don't hold your breath. 

Have a great Monday and a great week.
