Quote from Tsing Tao:
Hi, MG. Welcome to the P+R forum.
This data is not new, as you have so eloquently pointed out. The reason this has to be pointed out (as always) in this forum is that you've got folks like Ricter who drink the kool-aid and believe headline numbers. A few months back I had to explain the U6 to him and AK-47 (who is another one claiming the headline number is the truth).
So while I agree that pspr posts a lot of stuff that I go "wtf" to, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt on this one and you have to understand the context.
But don't worry, no Fed (or other Central Bank) member was harmed in the posting of this material, so you can relax.
