Monetary Madness in a Single Chart: Hyperinflation's Just Around the Corner

The Fed will not be able to absorb all the fresh money - ahem, "liquidity" - because they bought all kinds of crap paper (CDOs) at mark-to-fantasy prices. Who will bail out the Fed by buying this crap anywhere close to the prices the Fed "paid" (hahaha) with its freshly digitized "money." Quote from JP Morgan, "Gold is money. Everything else is credit."

The Euro Has Significant Problems - And They're Likely to Worsen

Greenspan's Dog: The ECB is formally independent from the Eurozone members. Its shareholders are the Eurozone central banks. Second, it will not be able to come up quickly with a pan-European solution as the packages of various Euro members show. Thirdly, the ECB's balance sheet has grown some 50% this year alone. Leaning towards the Austrian school this is monetary inflation par excellence for me.

Österreichischer Adler: Thank you very much, the rest of Austria is still asleep and has no idea what may happen in the next weeks.
