• Increase in liquidity gives rise to worry
  • Seeing speculative activity which maybe exacerbating situation in some commodity markets
  • We have means to propel our economy forwards, question is whether have gone too far
  • Would have voted against QE2
  • No further accomodation needed after June
  • Inflation pressures are building up worldwide
  • Would only prolong injustice to savers by fueling inflation
  • Fed is at risk of doing too much, politicians have to now get it right
  • Can no longer press monetary pedal

I think we can safely label them there comments “hawkish”
