A big nothing . That's what came out of Obama's meeting with Yellen and company last night. The White House issued a very short, meaningless statement which seemed very odd following an "emergency meeting" with the Fed.

Very likely the " emergency " is the horrific earnings we're expecting from the Financial sector and nothing gets bankers to take action faster than a threat to their bonuses – especially this close to the time of year when they have to come up with deposits on their Hampton beach houses.
