Tax iVoidance

Said Cook, to the Senate's seniority:

"Though gadgets remain our priority,

While profiting scads

From iPhones and -Pads,  

We skirt every taxing authority."

Doves & Hawks Together

Thoughts diverge in the FOMC
On how long to hold on to QE,
But in case of deflation,
Without hesitation,
They'll ease up unanimously.

S&P vs GDP

An analyst pointed out that -

At the risk of provoking a spat - 

There's a gap in demand

Between equities and

The economy, which is still flat. 

A Misbegotten View

Some conservatives want to find meaning

In professed homosexual leaning,

Which some think explains

The penchant of Keynes
For cyclical, state intervening.

We know the economist said

In the long run, that we are all dead, 

But the meaning was not

That he hadn't begot,

Or who he preferred in his bed. 

Don't Jump to Conclusions

Though economists often expect
Their proposals be put in effect,
It's best if one will
Just hold off until
The model's been triply checked.

Bear Warning

Said one of those skeptical guys,
As the market was hitting new highs:
"The bulls may suppose
The economy grows,
But I doubt that the latter complies."

Market Correlation

Some analysts set about crunchin'
A proven statistical function
For why stocks and debt,
Which used to offset,
More recently move in conjunction.

At the end of it all they succeeded,
Having crunched all the data they needed,
Finding no other fact
So truthfully tracked
As expected expanse of QE did.

Soros' Penney Shares

Said a billionaire octogenarian
Of a much-unloved stock he was carryin':
"What's the use of my hoard
If I cannot afford
To indulge in a bet that's contrarian?"

Season of Easin'

S&P GSCI GLOBAL COMMODITY INDEX 
VS. U.S. 5-YEAR INFLATION EXPECTATION

The Fed has a great flexibility
To promote economic stability;
They may finish QE
If it's growth they foresee,
Or extend if they sense more fragility.

In the weakening outlook of Spring,
It appears to QE they must cling,
While back in the Winter,
We thought they'd begin ter
Discreetly unwind the whole thing.
