Minyanville Unveils Live QE2 Countdown Clock and Interactive "Wall of Worry"

NEW YORK, June 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Minyanville Media, Inc., the creator of Emmy Award-winning financial-focused content and operator of Minyanville.com, has created a live QE2 Countdown Clock, ticking down the days, hours, minutes and seconds until this round of the government's quantitative easing measures come to a halt.

Using history as a guide, many investors expect the market and economy to fall hard at midnight on June 30, 2011—just as it did at the end of 2010's QE1.

"This countdown is like the modern day financial version of the Mayan 2012 clock. That's the level of anxiety QE2 is creating among investors," says Lloyd Khaner, General Partner of Khaner Capital Management, who also writes, "Lloyd's Wall of Worry," a weekly column published by Minyanville. "For now, though, worrying about QE2 is a bit like turning on your left blinker 100 miles before actually making the turn. Ultimately, no one really knows what that road ahead holds."

The QE2 Countdown Clock can be accessed on Minyanville's "Lloyd's Wall of Worry" page found at Minyanville.com/investing/lloyds-wall-of-worry/6/6/2011/. This unique, interactive tool allows viewers to scroll over and read the most heart-pounding current events as they relate to the market and investor sentiment. The page also features a "worry meter," which indicates—on a scale of 5-25—the level of anxiety in the marketplace. Once the dial rises above 15, readers are advised to start looking for stock deals. If the dial slips below 10, they should consider selling, as prices have likely peaked.

"Typically, the term, 'wall of worry' refers to the entire body of concerns influencing stock market action. When the wall is high, meaning the market is nervous, stocks tend to get cheaper. However, this 'wall of worry' is even more specific," says Khaner. "Every week, I list the exact concerns in the marketplace and use the list to help me make buying and selling decisions. As I like to say, 'Buy fear, sell cheer.'"

Khaner has been maintaining his own "wall of worry" for 20 years. He has written his weekly feature, "Lloyd's Wall of Worry" for Minyanville since November 3, 2010.
