“Everyone Preparing for the Wrong Outcome”: Schiff Says QE4 is Coming, Not a Rate Hike!
“Everyone Preparing for the Wrong Outcome”: Schiff Says QE4 is Coming, Not a Rate Hike! The printing presses are firing up all over again… err, at least the digital ledgers are, anyway. Financial expert and infamous goldbug Peter Schiff was interviewed by Fox Business from the floor of the U.S. Stock Exchange. Schiff warned viewers […]
Quantitative Easing for People: The UK Labour Frontrunner’s Controversial Proposal
Quantitative Easing for People: The UK Labour Frontrunner’s Controversial Proposal British MP Jeremy Corbyn has proposed a “People’s QE” that has critics crying hyperinflation and supporters saying it’s about time. Dark horse candidate Jeremy Corbyn, who is currently leading in the polls for UK Labour Party leadership, has included in his platform “quantitative easing for people.” […]
Corporate foie gras
Corporate foie gras One of the arguments put forth in the bull vs. bear debate is that the solidity of US non-financial corporations have never been stronger. The amount of cash held by non-financial corporations has risen 150 per cent since the depth of the crisis in 2009. With such a massive cushion to stave […]
Europe’s Biggest Bank Dares To Ask: Is The Fed Preparing For A “Controlled Demolition”
Europe’s Biggest Bank Dares To Ask: Is The Fed Preparing For A “Controlled Demolition” Why did we focus so much attention yesterday on a post in which the IMF confirmed what we had said since last October, namely that the BOJ’s days of ravenous debt monetization are coming to a tapering end as soon as 2017 (as […]
Meet QT; QE’s Evil Twin
Meet QT; QE’s Evil Twin There is a growing sense across the financial spectrum that the world is about to turn some type of economic page. Unfortunately no one in the mainstream is too sure what the last chapter was about, and fewer still have any clue as to what the next chapter will bring. […]
“It’s A Tipping Point” Marc Faber Warns “There Are No Safe Assets Anymore”
“It’s A Tipping Point” Marc Faber Warns “There Are No Safe Assets Anymore” Markets have “reached some kind of a tipping point,” warns Marc Faber in this brief Bloomberg TV interview. Simply put, he explains, “because of modern central banking and repeated interventions with monetary policy, in other words, with QE, all around the world by […]
Will the Fed Have to Save Emerging Markets with QE4?
Will the Fed Have to Save Emerging Markets with QE4? The risk-off tide is rising, and sand castles of QE will only hold the tide back for a brief period of apparent calm. A funny thing happened on the way to permanently expanding global markets: unintended consequences. Borrowing cheap, abundant U.S. dollars seemed like a good […]
ConocoPhillips Fires 10% Of Global Workforce, Warns Of “Dramatic Downturn” To Oil Industry
ConocoPhillips Fires 10% Of Global Workforce, Warns Of “Dramatic Downturn” To Oil Industry Remember when the oil crash was supposed to be “unequivocally good” for the global economy and the US consumer, only for this to be disproven as the biggest macroeconomic lie since “QE is good for the people”? We do – quite vividly […]
Citigroup Chief Economist Thinks Only “Helicopter Money” Can Save The World Now
Citigroup Chief Economist Thinks Only “Helicopter Money” Can Save The World Now Having recently explained (in great detail) why QE4 (and 5, 6 & 7) were inevitable (despite the protestations of all central planners, except for perhaps Kocharlakota – who never met an economy he didn’t want to throw free money at), we found it fascinating […]
Why QE4 Is Inevitable
Why QE4 Is Inevitable One narrative we’ve pushed quite hard this week is the idea that China’s persistent FX interventions in support of the yuan are costing the PBoC dearly in terms of reserves. Of course this week’s posts hardly represent the first time we’ve touched on the issue of FX reserve liquidation and its […]
Lies You Will Hear As The Economic Collapse Progresses
Lies You Will Hear As The Economic Collapse Progresses It is undeniable; the final collapse triggers are upon us, triggers alternative economists have been warning about since the initial implosion of 2008. In the years since the derivatives disaster, there has been no end to the absurd and ludicrous propaganda coming out of mainstream financial […]
What If The “Crash” Is as Rigged as Everything Else?
What If The “Crash” Is as Rigged as Everything Else? Take your pick–here’s three good reasons to engineer a “crash” that benefits the few at the expense of the many. There is an almost touching faith that markets are rigged when they loft higher, but unrigged when they crash. Who’s to say this crash isn’t […]
It’s easy to deny a bubble but impossible to deny its implosion.
It’s easy to deny a bubble but impossible to deny its implosion. We’re having the kind of day when the New York Stock Exchange felt compelled toannounce very encouragingly before markets opened that it would halt trading for 15 minutes if the S&P 500 drops 7% to 1,833 before 3:25 p.m. Once trading restarts and the index plunges 13% […]
Why the Bear of 2015 Is Different from the Bear of 2008
Why the Bear of 2015 Is Different from the Bear of 2008 Are there any conditions now that are actually better than those of 2008? It’s tempting to see similarities in last week’s global stock market mini-crash and the monumental meltdown that almost took down the Global Financial System in 2008-2009. The dizzying drop invites comparison […]
What the Heck is Going on in the Global Markets?
What the Heck is Going on in the Global Markets? This wasn’t supposed to happen. The week was already on a crummy downhill path globally, and emerging-market currencies were blowing up, when on Friday in China the Caixin’s Purchasing Manager’s Index hit the worst level since March 2009; manufacturing is sinking deeper into the mire. So the […]
