Lenin Was Right … Bear Markets Do Happen Today… the second of the speech about the end of the world we recently gave at Doug Casey’s La Estancia de Cafayate. (You can catch up on the first part here.) As Yogi Berra would say, America is going to come to a fork in the road… and […]
Are Greek Capital Controls Now Inevitable?
Are Greek Capital Controls Now Inevitable? While the trading algos are blissfully honing their headline-scanning skills (it should take no longer than a few nanoseconds to find whether “patient” and “international” are in the FOMC statement) ahead of tomorrow’s Fed announcement and avoiding any macro developments from around the globe, the biggest international news hit […]

American Amoeba
American Amoeba The money-moving world waits on tenterhooks for the Wednesday appearance of America’s oracle, Janet Yellen, to step out of her grotto and state whether or not she feels twinges ofpatience.

From Bubble-Blower To Energy Expert, Alan Greenspan Warns “Oil Hasn’t Bottomed Yet” Having recently explained why the stock market is extremely overvalued (in his own words by Fed-driven multiple expansion alone), Alan Greenspan – seemingly brimming over with the need to remedy his years of lies/mistruths with some uncomfortable truthiness – is now taking on the […]
Wow!!! The Fed Gives A Giant Fuck You to Working Class Americans!!
Wow!!! The Fed Gives A Giant Fuck You to Working Class Americans!! I was shocked today by the absolute gaul of the Fed releasing a statement about Net Worth in America reaching record levels.

From Yellen Put To Yellen Massacre
From Yellen Put To Yellen Massacre I think I’ll just give you a slew of quotes, and then you can figure out if you can figure out why I chose to call this the Yellen Massacre. Which consists, by the way, of two separate but linked parts, not quite the Siamese twin perhaps, but close. […]
The Great Immoderation: How The Fed Is Sowing The Next Recession
The Great Immoderation: How The Fed Is Sowing The Next Recession In February 2004 Ben Bernanke famously declared the business cycle had been tamed and took a bow in behalf of enlightened monetary management, claiming it was the principal source of this beneficent development.

Happy 6th Birthday: The Day FASB Folded & “Mark-To-Fantasy” Was Born
Happy 6th Birthday: The Day FASB Folded & “Mark-To-Fantasy” Was Born The captured corporate MSM is celebrating the six year anniversary of when the stock market bottomed in March 2009. They will spin a false narrative of Bernanke, Obama and Geithner saving the world with TARP, QE, and the $800 billion Porkulus bill. What great heroes. […]

Don’t Be Fooled by the Federal Reserve’s Anti-Audit Propaganda
Don’t Be Fooled by the Federal Reserve’s Anti-Audit Propaganda In recent weeks, the Federal Reserve and its apologists in Congress and the media have launched numerous attacks on the Audit the Fed legislation. These attacks amount to nothing more than distortions about the effects and intent of the audit bill. Fed apologists continue to claim […]

The Global Dollar Funding Shortage Is Back With A Vengeance And “This Time It’s Different” The last time the world was sliding into a US dollar shortage as rapidly as it is right now, was following the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008.
