In the news

     There will be no ripples at all across global markets in the  aftermath of the US Federal Reserve "taper", as cheap cash injections  start to be trimmed back - and will eventually end, probably next year. 
     Emerging economies in particular will weather the departure  of cash with nary a flutter. This is because countries around the world  heard the warning shot from Chairman Ben Bernanke back in May and  prepared their economies accordingly for when it finally happened in  December. 
     The so-called Fragile Five of Brazil, India, Indonesia, South  Africa, and Turkey have prepared for the inevitable end of the era of  cheap money and adjusted well. Plus, they all have elections in 2014  that will probably proceed smoothly - no surprises, only seamless  successions.

Obviously predictions can >>>>>> anyway, but I genuinely can't tell if this is serious, or an audition for the Now Show?
