Get Ready For Negative Interest Rates In The US
Get Ready For Negative Interest Rates In The US With Fed mouthpiece Jon Hilsenrath warning – in no lesser status-quo narrative-deliverer than The Wall Street Journal – that The ECB’s actions (and pre-emptive collapse in the EUR) means the U.S. economy must deal with a rapidly strengthening dollar that will make American goods more expensive abroad, potentially slowing […]

“This Is A Race To The Bottom Where No Fiat Currency Wins” Following another frustrating year in the previous metals markets, 2015 is showing signs that change is afoot.

How Do You Unmanipulate a Manipulated Economy?
How Do You Unmanipulate a Manipulated Economy? Breaking the stranglehold of vested interests is the essential step to rebuilding an economy that isn’t totally dependent on manipulated money and statistics.

The Fed and the Price of Oil
The Fed and the Price of Oil Given the potential for financial losses triggered by oil’s price collapse to cascade into the financial sector at large, the Fed may well be forced to intervene either directly or indirectly. An email dialog with correspondent Mark G. last month alerted me to the key role the Federal […]
Catch – 22
Catch – 22 So much of education, I think, relies on reading the right book at the right time. My first attempt atCatch-22 was in high school, and I was way too young to get much out of it. But fortunately I picked it up again in my late 20’s, after a few experiences with The […]

The Stimulus Monkeys Are Screeching And The Central Banks Are Pushing On A String
The Stimulus Monkeys Are Screeching And The Central Banks Are Pushing On A String Have you been at the zoo when the monkeys start rattling their cages and screeching in unison? That about sums up the last 24 hours since the euro zone’s December CPI printed at negative 0.2% versus prior year. Within minutes of the release, brokerage […]
The Fed. Is Losing If Not Already Lost Control
The Fed. Is Losing If Not Already Lost Control We witnessed a few things for the start of 2015 in the financial markets that were unlike any previous. The first three days of the new year produced the worst three-day stint in the markets – ever. A meaningless, insignificant, trivial, data point? Possibly. However, when it […]
2015: Now That the Fed Drove Everyone Into Ruinously Risky Bets….
2015: Now That the Fed Drove Everyone Into Ruinously Risky Bets…. It is impossible for everyone to sell at the top before the implosion; the assets are owned by someone all the way down. The central bank/state plan for 2015 is a continuation of the same plan that’s been in play since 2009: drive everyone […]
Fed Abandons Stock Markets
Fed Abandons Stock Markets The seemingly-invincible US stock markets powered higher again last year, still directly fueled by the Fed’s epic quantitative-easing money printing. But 2015 is shaping up to be radically different from the past couple years. The Fed effectively abandoned the stock markets when it terminated its bond buying late last year. So […]

A Crash Course in Money (Part V) |
A Crash Course in Money (Part V) |. Last Thursday, the Dow shot up 421 points, or 2.4%, following the Fed’s announcement that it would be “patient” about normalizing interest rates. It was the biggest single-day gain for the Dow in three years. And the 13th biggest single-day gain ever. No one knows what was […]
If Wishes Were Loaves and Fishes | KUNSTLER
If Wishes Were Loaves and Fishes | KUNSTLER. Janet Yellen and her Federal Reserve board of augurers might as well have spilled a bucket of goat entrails down the steps of the mysterious Eccles Building as they parsed, sliced, and diced the ramifications in altering their prior declaration of “a considerable period” (that is, before […]
Fed Delivers the Message that Our Economy is Dead | First Rebuttal
Fed Delivers the Message that Our Economy is Dead | First Rebuttal. I used to get a kick out of the cute little children waiting for the Fed Chair to come and deliver presents or coal. So giddy and excited from the anticipation of not knowing who Janet thinks were good boys and girls. Who’s […]
