Somebody Email the Fed! The Rate Storm Chickens Are Coming Home to Roost

Bloomberg has on their front page: Bernanke Briefings May Offset Fed Hawks With Words as New Tool

When Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S.
Bernanke convenes his first press conference next week, he may
emphasize a point the markets seem to have forgotten: He’s serious about
keeping interest rates low for an “extended period.”

Shortly thereafter, CNBC runs at the top of their page: S&P
Affirms US AAA Ratings While Revising Outlook to Negative (story
developing), Futures Sink; S&P: U.S. Outlook to Negative

Broad market futures are currently down 15 points or so. You have
heard me warn about the upcoming interest rate storm, potentially ad
nauseum. Well, the chickens are coming home to roost.

Shitty time to be a business investment advisor like Reggie.  The only thing to be in, is NOT the dollar.  Or any other fiat currency-based asset, for that matter.

What does it take to become a PD? Form some sort-of bank-like LLC? Then fill out a form with the FED. Start getting free money to buy gold and oil. Seems pretty simple.

It's not the downgrade dummy. It's what's happening in the bond market for the last week.

King dollar is about to reverse.

i hope that after this whole fiat system collapses, and the dazed survivors emerge from the smoking ruins, men like reggie will be around to help us form a solid secure sustainable future.

Biflation is orugh....

All long term assets plunge in value---houses and cars mainly.

All the short term stuff you need daily---food, gas, etc---go up.

Houses and RE in general will contiune to drop for years to come after this long Bubble. Add that to soaring property taxes, stagnant wages and serious overseas competititon and it is why many say renting is 40% cheaper then owning.

Thanks for the heads-up S&P, all this time I thought you were going to raise the US's outlook

actually given the worthlessness of the recovery i'd say that's exactly what S&P's should have done.  And the market didn't disagree BTW.

Fed knows.

That's why we are seeing shortterm pull back in commodities. inflate 5, deflate 1, repeat.

i agree with this.  "calm before the hyperinflation" is my reading of "the worst timed downgrade in history."  we are supposed to take S&P's seriously, yes, yes?  Well "what's the phucking problem then?"  Is the Fed completely phucked up or what?--because up to this point "that's only been the purview of a bunch of weirdo free speech crazies at Zero Hedge."

Thanks for the post!

I recommend you to all who are asking for reliable sources of information.  You are one of the best.

Haven't seen your post for a while Reggie. I was concerned that you had 'moved on'. Glad you are still here.

I predicted all along that the chances of Reggie moving on are nigh.

I was the first one to predict this. No one else but me. I am clairvoyant.

Thanks for all your insights Reggie.  I will now be buying real value added assets and equities in preparation for the coming storm.  I may still ride the silver push past 50 (and it will pass this easily), but we will see.  I like the idea of being my own bank.

Ive been working on this idea for a while now.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

If everyone were their own bank, then we could have a virtual army of banks.

What better way to fight "the banks".

Would love to have the laws work for me, instead of against and get 0 interest rate loans at the fed discount window.

Hey Tyler, you should start a bank.

You already have all your investors right here.
