Asia is set for a joyous start as ECB President Draghi fires a 1.1 trillion euro ($1.3 trillion) QE money bazooka. The easy money is raining down on global traders and is quickly put to use buying stocks that make the wealthy, that own stocks, filthy rich. The central banker’s policy actions create great wealth for the upper middle and elite classes while leaving the middle class and poor behind.

As Asian indexes come on line, they each turn green running higher. Euro 1.1363. Dollar/yen 118.50. Pound 1.5020. The triumphant global rally, fueled by ECB Keynesian money-printing, continues.

The SPASX200 gains +1.5% above the 5500 level. The Aussie dollar falls to 0.7989.
