    I'm an independent investor. I make my living from the returns on my investments. I work at home, in the northern part of the San Francisco Bay area. I spent most of my career as an executive in high-tech, although I also spent time in banking. Down to one kid in university now!

Think the Fed might ease soon?

Think again. Bernanke has made it clear that he considers inflation expectations more important than actual inflation, core or otherwise. In the consumer confidence release this morning, inflation expectations jumped. Consumers expect 5.5% inflation over the next 12 months. That reading is up sharply from 5.1% in April and the highest since last August.
