(1) No surprises. (2) QE gets credit from its proud conceivers. (3) The right message. (4) Is inflation back on right track as Fed claims? (5) Harry Truman and the Fed’s two-handed economists. (6) Does forward guidance make sense, or is it nonsense? (7) Running out on “considerable time” on March 18, maybe? (8) Gradual normalization ahead or “one and done?” (9) Sentiment roller coaster, panic attacks, dips, and relief rallies. (10) Lots of earnings weakness across most MSCI sectors overseas. (11) Focus on overweight-rated S&P 500 Health Care.
