Bernanke says no QE3? So why didn’t markets tank??

Alexander P Morris — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 01:27:41 +0000

(Robert Sinn) “When the economic data and financial markets soften the Fed strikes a more dovish tone, and as we saw yesterday when things improve the Fed Chairman does not mention the idea of additional stimulus and acknowledges the potential for a short term spike in inflation due to higher gasoline prices.”

Bernanke says, “Since these projections were made, gasoline prices have moved up, primarily reflecting higher global oil prices – a development that is likely to push up inflation temporarily while reducing consumers’ purchasing power.” And despite the fact that Bernanke didn’t mention “quantitative” once — here or anywhere else in his testimony — the media was quick to hype the Fed’s mere acknowledgement of “potential inflation” as a change in stance.

However, the majority of the mass media conveniently overlooked the real story of the day…

(WSJ) “The European Central Bank handed out €529.5 billion ($712.81 billion) in cheap, three-year loans to 800 lenders, the central bank’s latest effort to arrest a financial crisis now entering its third year.

Wednesday’s loans were on top of the €489.2 billion of similar loans the ECB dispensed to 523 banks in late December. The ECB’s goal is to help struggling banks pay off maturing debts and to coax them to lend to strained governments and customers. The takeup of this week’s loans was roughly consistent with what bankers, investors and analysts had expected.”

WOW! So the same day Bernanke is noticing some possible inflation, most news sources completely overlooked one of the greatest liquidity injections ever on the very same day… And in hyping up the wrong story to “help” cover it all up, the media also gave these same banks the opportunity to park their free cash right back into the stock markets at a short-lived “NO QE3″ discount.

(Jim Sinclair) “Because of the volatility you experienced in gold today, and the absolute fact that it was an MSM cover operation of today’s covert operation, which was one of the largest injections of QE liquidity into the Euro banking system ever, you must know the facts.”

“If, in fact, what Bernanke attempted to tell the investment world today, that QE may not be necessary because of a modest improvement in the statistics of unemployment, if that was truly to be believed, then the stock market should have been off 800 points while gold was gold was down $100. Because the same thing moving the stock market is what’s moving the metals and that is pure liquidity.”

So for those of you worried about an end to quantitative easing, alleviate your fears. QE and cheap easy money for the well-connected kleptocrats is alive and well and not likely to end all that soon…

With the U.S. dollar’s horrendous decline in value this video gives new meaning to disposable income and going green… At least we finally know what the pyramid on our bills represents, just another ponzi / pyramid scheme managed and operated by the Federal Reserve, and fueled by our government’s incessant bailouts and deficit spending.

Stop blaming the removal of the downtick rule each time the stock market tanks

Each time the market takes a dive, the “pundits” seem to come out in hordes to blame the extreme fall on the downtick rule (also known as the uptick rule, or the downtick-uptick rule, depending on who’s talking about it). Learn the real truth behind all the hype, and how enabling traders to short stocks on a fair and even playing field can even help stocks move higher!

The Culprit Behind the Housing Bubble – abridged version

Alexander P Morris — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 22:00:00 +0000

“In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold.” You’ll be shocked to learn that it was actually Alan Greenspan who authored these words, before he became Chairman of the private Federal Reserve Bank. What are the implications of his actions, contrary to his initial beliefs, into the future? We are only beginning to find out…

This abridged version contains only my synopsis, and does not include Alan Greenspan’s article on “Gold and Economic Freedom”. It does, however add an extra bit about 2007′s top performing Stock Market in Zimbabwe! It’s up over 12,000% in 12 months! Of course, the country’s consumer price index was rising (i.e., the purchasing power of currency declining), was also rising at a rate of 1,729% a year. So how much are all those Zimbabwees worth anyway, even in dollars?
