One Bank Finally Admits The Fed’s “NOT QE” Is Indeed QE… And Could Lead To Financial Collapse After a month of constant verbal gymnastics (and diarrhea from financial pundit sycophants who can’t think creatively or originally and merely parrot their echo chamber in hopes of likes/retweets) by the Fed that the recent launch of $60 […]

Is The ‘Mother of all Bubbles’ About to Pop? When the New York Federal Reserve began pumping billions of dollars a day into the repurchasing (repo) markets (the market banks use to make short-term loans to each other) in September, they said this would only be necessary for a few weeks.

Is the Global Dollar in Jeopardy?
Is the Global Dollar in Jeopardy? The US Federal Reserve is right to be concerned, if not worried, about the greenback’s dominance of international trade and finance. Fortunately for consumers, growing potential competitive pressure – call it the Libra effect – creates an incentive to make the existing system work better. WASHINGTON, DC – Since […]
The Federal Reserve is a Barbarous Relic
The Federal Reserve is a Barbarous Relic The Sky is Falling The man from the good place. “As I was going up the stair, I met a man who wasn’t there. He wasn’t there again today, Oh how I wish he’d go away!” [PT] Ptolemy I Soter, in his history of the wars of Alexander the Great, […]
Peter Schiff: When Is the Market Going to Wake Up to this Con?
Peter Schiff: When Is the Market Going to Wake Up to this Con? As expected, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates another 25 basis points on Wednesday. The mainstream read the post FOMC meeting comments to be relatively hawkish, saying Powell and Company seemed to indicate that future rate cutting is on pause. Peter Schiff […]
Fed Has Shovel, Digs Bigger Hole
Fed Has Shovel, Digs Bigger Hole Let’s get to the bottom line on all this “rate cut” nonsense. The Fed made a fatal mistake in first promoting “fiscal” actions (during the 08 crash) and then continuing to support them well after the bottom in 2009. This allowed Barack Obama to run trillion dollar deficits for years and, once he did […]

Fed’s Fourth Bill POMO Is Most Oversubscribed Yet Amid Liquidity Scramble One day after the Fed unexpectedly saw a surge in demand for its term-repo operation, which was oversubscribed for the first time since the mid-September repo crisis erupted, the liquidity shortage in the funding market appears to be getting worse by the day, and in […]
Dollar Liquidity Turmoil Returns With First Oversubscribed Term Repo In A Month, $99.9 Billion Liquidity Injection
Dollar Liquidity Turmoil Returns With First Oversubscribed Term Repo In A Month, $99.9 Billion Liquidity Injection This was not supposed to happen. After the Fed rolled out the big artillery in response to the sharp, sudden mid-September funding squeeze (which we now know had virtually nothing to do with last month’s tax payments or other one-time events […]
The Fed’s “Insurance” Rate Cuts Didn’t Work. Now For The Emergency Cuts
The Fed’s “Insurance” Rate Cuts Didn’t Work. Now For The Emergency Cuts Pity the guys now running the Fed. They’ve inherited an economy that requires ever-bigger infusions of new credit and ever-lower interest rates to avoid financial cardiac arrest. But with interest rates already perilously close to zero the usual leeway is no longer there. […]
