  • Why Inflation Never Came [View article]
    "Malthus was early, but his logic is irrefutable."

    That's certainly not what they're teaching in school these days. Care to provide some tangible evidence to support your unsubstantiated claim?

  • The Bernanke Agenda - It Isn't What You Think It Is [View article]
    Thanks for the link. The hyperinflation scenario looks like a red herring to me, although the idea of removing the floor on rates does seem potentially disruptive in the short run as it would unnecessarily increase uncertainty just at the time when confidence is on the rise.

  • What Is The Federal Reserve's 'Rat' Trying To Tell You? [View article]
    Uncertainty I think is driving rates upward along with seasonal effects, e.g., increased real estate activity. It is still early, however, to declare victory on the employment issue so I'd say trend is still your friend.

    Stephen - Please explain how eliminating the interest on reserves would accelerate inflation. Its not obvious to everyone.

    Ramseyer - actually, its a very well thought out essay T5., well worth the tuition for the speed reading course, ..only if anything a bit too logical as the market remains irrational no matter how smart we think we are!!

    I'm thinking long term you're gonna do well holding SPY, but don't be afraid to take some profits and stuff your own mattress with some TLT while Hulk is still looking for his room key.

    2% plus guaranteed return of principal in retrospect appear to have been a much better deal at some point between now and September than it appeared yesterday.

    Especially when that Tsunami of liquidity seeking safe haven that's headed our way arrives at our shoreline.

    That's because gold is dropping faster than groceries.

    T5 -

    Oh, and don't forget an increasing standard of living over time, which at times costs us a little more perhaps, but its worth it as long as we can all afford it; ala economy of scale and all those other easily forgotten lessons.

    Malthus was such a misguided spoilsport.

    That's pretty close, Polly.

    Gotta go to the 5 day chart to see it now, but it is quite interesting to see that somehow the 10 Year Bond Yield kissed 2.00% at just the moment the first speech was to begin before closing out at the end of the day today, Tuesday, 21 May at 1.93. 10 days to go!

  • Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [View article]
    Blue Okie - When looked at through the lens of Behavioral Economics, one can see that there is lots of leverage to be had via the fear and greed buttons, much more than could ever be hoped to be paid for in cash.

  • Is A QE Exit Really Scary? [View article]
    MW23 - In the spirit of Chief Seattle, the significance is not in "who owns the Fed" but in what the Fed owns.
