The real estate market in California is not hot. My family has been trying to sell pristine land 2 minutes from the beach, in a valley with no other supply for a year now. There is a large beach community there. They have lowered the price from 1.5 million, to 700,000 and still can't sell...

40 trillion yen. That sounds like the dollar in 10 years. The government will be saying the current shortfall is 20 trillion dollars, and projected 10 year deficits are 100 trillion. In my opinion, it gets ridiculous for accounting purposes to run into high numbers like this. I think the...

This market is all about a G20 monetary pump. But the stimulus on this side of the pond is ending from the fed. The fed has 3 billion left on treasury purchases. The last 2 weeks in the equity markets were purely divergence due to the banks pumping and dumping. Get ready, the S$P will be...

Rothbard explains my sentiments exactly.

With the federal funds rate at 0-.25%, there should be an ocean of liquidity in the US economy. There is not, in the real economy. There is a huge amount of liquidity in the US financial markets, but the real economy is experiencing deflation. My theory is that the federal reserve is...

The International banks better start supporting the Small guy in the US, whether small businesses, or farmers. If they don't, the US government will gain control of everything.

I'm not with you. But I do ask again, will the "peasants" continue to care about their credit score?

Yes or no to the current accepted monetary system.

This is the result from the mix between 2 cultures within one person. We had the baby boomers grow up with their frugal parents from the depression, mixed with a new era of easy credit. So baby boomers consumed immensely, but also saved all of their consumption objects "just in case"...

The credit score system was created by the banking system. They have basically bankrupted every small business in the US. My question is, should small business borrowers respect the current social system, based on credit scores, or just let everything collapse, since they have nothing to lose...

I prefer to think of credit as the force behind all inflation. The banks can loan out the new money 10 to 1. Then, you have leveraged derivatives that give banks additional power to inflate financial asset prices. So, if the monetary base increased by a trillion, the real inflationary impact...

Every time gold is over 1,000 per ounce in US dollar terms. the IMF announces that it will sell gold. This same announcement deflated gold last year after the panic. Nothing new, just more smoke and mirrors. But the people who pay attention to these international organizations, can capitalize on...

This shit is setting up for an 87 style meltdown. Tomorrow the fed removes the facility backing money market funds. I say, we get one last burst to 1090 to 1100 in ES, and then one sharp correction of about 100 s&p points. So, you should be taking profits right here, and looking to short at the...

Intraday volume has been dead since then. There are less opportunities these days, but it is a bit easier. Just 1000+ profit days seem to be gone.

The fed is winding down many major facilities in the next couple months. So, you should expect a lot of volatility going into October from now.

Does anyone need to even ask at this point with a 2 trillion dollar deficit for this year alone, and a 12 trillion dollar national debt?

You know, this is the same thing that happened in 2003. People forget that a low fed funds rate is mainly stimulative to equities. Look at the 93.9 percent rally in 1932. From open market operations by the fed. That is what bernanke is planning, read some of his speeches. He is also planning...
