Bernank really is a fucktard

Inasmuch as he has boosted PM stock prices he's a useful idiot.

Most importantly, Amazon up 7%...imagine the reaction had they met or exceeded expectations?

Anyone wonder any longer bout S&P 500 targets of 1500, 2000, whatever? Of course will be collapsing priced in PM's, but whatever, it's only peoples entire life savings getting wiped out to levitate the markets.

I used to have that same concern....but I shed that cross a long time ago.

If people can't see what's going on then they deserve to suffer the consequences. In the interim the best we can do is educate those we care about to the reality of today's "markets"

In meantime, my favorite leader Boehner says oil prices high because Obama not drill in parks. It's from his Big Oil contributions, not waste opportunity to help his friends and drill drill drill.

Now I'll vote Ron Paul and send lots money for him to give them shit. Even if he klan and limp in monetary sub-committee. No one here seems interested in running.

Elections are all we have, many countries not even have it. So we need to use it. We need to require our elected officials act in interest of people. Lazy ass Zero Hedge readers. All you happy about increase in PMs. As long as you make money you happy, no problem? Can't blame Goldman Sachs, George Soros, Bilderburgs, you just like them.

Uh...you know Ron Paul's position on energy policy, yes?

Voted NO on prohibiting oil drilling & development in ANWR

Voted NO on removing oil & gas exploration subsidies

Voted NO on criminalizing oil cartels like OPEC

Wed, 04/27/2011 - 16:01 | 1213270 gabeh73

seriously...I would be pissed if he was changing his mind a lot. As it is he said he would inflate before he took office and that is exactly what he is fucking doing.

This has been a great day.

The stupid fucking masses had no problem with his books and papers when he got picked as chairman. He told us this is exactly who he was...that is around the time that people should have been going apeshit...we had one last shot in 2008 with Ron Paul but that is long over...all we can do now is hope he does what he has always said he would do...and that is to be more worried about "deflation" than "inflation".

The people who thought we were crazy in 1996,2000, 2004,2008...now those people will just have to deal with what they stuck US with...fuck them...destroy the DOLLAR MOTHERFUCKER!

So the Fed is going to monitor inflation as things progress, because Benocide said "indications of inflation are starting to emerge".
But.... inflation is transitory..... so why the need to monitor something transitory?

He's full of shit. He's in a box and he knows it. He HAS to print to finance the gov't, but is trying to "telegraph" (ie. propaganda lie) that there is no inflation and they will not continue QE. Total BS.

No one in the room other than that paid shill Liesman had any confidence in Benocide.

I feel sorry for Bernanke's wife - if he can lie like that to the public at large imagine the nonsense she must put up with - BB has no morals, no integrity, & less credibility after his 'press conference' - he should resign - though not to be outperformed CNBC's Liesman once again proves his incapability to make a meaningful contribution -

I figure he's still alive because he hasn't been arrested, tried, and convicted in a US court of law for his treacherous crimes.

The Rule of Law stands.

(The 2nd Amendment does not give individuals the right to hunt down and shoot criminals.)

You think the Rule of Law has failed? Time to take matters into our own hands? You know nothing of the Rule of Law. Anyone who supplants the Rule of Law with the Rule of Man for even one minute, relinquishes authority on our soil always and forever.

I'll give you this. A great conflict is coming. But, not on your authority will I be called to arms.

Nothing to worry about, boys. Bob Dahl is about to explain how everything is OK. Price of gold is meaningless. Ben Bernanke's sound bites will keep us from tumbling into the abyss. Steady as she goes on the currency destruction. Problems are transitory. S&Ps are forever.

The new word that most of you should get use to over the summer and early fall!

Extortion!

Extortion, outwresting, and/or exaction is a criminal offense which occurs when a person unlawfully obtains either money, property or services from a person(s), entity, or institution, through coercion. Refraining from doing harm is sometimes euphemistically called protection. Extortion is commonly practiced by organized crime groups.

Bernanke is prepared to sacrifice the US$ and allow inflation to take hold. He believes that you can print trillions of dollars and it doesn't have any effect on inflation. They have studied finance and have history to look at???

When inflation takes hold, it will happen swiftly and be like a trying to put a genie back in the bottle.

Un#uckinbelievable...

Oh, c'mon now, surely you don't measure Benron's beliefs based on his words, do you?

What he believes in is his own power of sophistry to get us through today in such a way that he is still empowered tomorrow. To achieve this goal, he will say anything and everything, and is totally immaterial to his actual beliefs, which are likely along the lines of, "You little people don't understand how things really work, and cannot handle the truth. Thus we are forced to lie to you for your own protection."

He believes just enough to appear credibly supportive as a Fed demagogue.

This is why I decided to pull out of the market enough to pay off all debt and obtain future economic security through other means; namely tangible, physical holdings of various necessary commodities. Oh, I quit working for these fuckers too; I refuse to be milked any longer.

saw it reported in the mainstream media that 600 Billion in bond purchases to end in june. They make it sound like no QE-3? My guess is we'll still have QE-3 anyway.

I saw that on Bloomturd . It's wrong though they will use interest from treasury that they have on their books to buy more treasuries . That means less money they can return to the treasury and claim as a (false) profit.

It doesn't matter what he says, He is a liar but his face is different, market players can feel the pain inside him, he is hopeless and he knows it and reflects this fact on his face.

Let him speak everyday so that we can see much higher Gold prices ..

Regardless, Benny is a smooth talking mack daddy whose answers always "seem" to ring with truth. If one is not hip on the fundamentals of econ 101, and I'm so unhip my pants keep falling down with all that gold and silver lining my pockets, his delivery and confidence, at least today, appeared unequaled. Now I see why they've chosen him to man the hot seat. He's good, he's damn good.

What did he say? When did he say it was going to all implode? I thought I heard it somewhere in there.

So this much anticipated historic hooplah circle jerk was really an excuse for a correction in PM's forget equities as they are now in perpetuity to the dollar destruction-- it seems commodities are no longer the anti-dollar trade. Net net-- the same ole bullshit degradation of the US-- at least people are trying to make it more entertaining to watch the destruction of our country.

Wed, 04/27/2011 - 17:06 | 1213632 slewie the pi-rat

hi, aldoHux_iv; a funny thing happened on the way to benocide's speech~~~the weather changed.

cooler, moist air comin into the US and europe, so the wheat crop is now outa danger! so who cares about oats at this point? red winter wheat now looking ample.

meanwhile, nothing like a nice dry spring to help the corn farmers get ready to plant. see how fast the ground warms up, for those damned monsanto huggers. and, stay outa the boats to get to the cattle this year, ok?

soybeans didn't take things so hard, and dr copper headed south with renewed vengeance, again.

the grain supply just amped, and, you're right about the dollar swoon. our banksters are facing down the world. print. print. print. if the shitheads like it, they are screwed. if the shitheads don't like it, they are screwed. we got it; we're printing it; and if you don't want it, you are more brokeback than we are.

fabulous!

now, they are trying to figure out how to protect themselves, and we are gonna print here, print now, or be hauled off te be re-freaking-educated, i guess.

batmanke screams thru gotham in the batmobile, rockets blazing, FRNs all over the place. ticker tape reflation.

say. that's not a slippery, wet teabag up ahead going into that turn is it?

stay tooned, BiCheZ!

Are gold funds a good idea or bad because they are dollar denominated? I know you're going to say buy physical! Hold those comments and give me a reason to buy a gold or silver fund now.

...reminds me of http://foodfreedom.wordpress.com/2011/03/11/usda-okays-rice-modified-with-human-gene-to-be-grown-on-3000-kansas-acres/ that FDA approved GM crop in Kansas,''they'' developed a cheaper (fiat currency) tobbaco based pesticide that killed the crop (market), ...so they overcame that by adding human DNA (unemployment) to the rice crop, which made the ''New World Order'' DNA sequence in the rice more resilient (banker bonus) to the ''change'' (debt) set loose in the field. This produced a higher yield (short term profit) at a lower cost, if you can find the bees (killed labor). Uncle Ben's rice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FUhs9fS_-0

Yeah that's true. Btw I'm impressed of your calm, usually people have a terrible reactions when they are confronted to such desillusion.

So please keep your calm and inform yourself. Start reading some good stuff about history and economy. Rothschield, Ponzi, etc, Great Depression, Great Depression 2.0, Great Depression Stagflation 2.105, next Great Depression Hyperinflation 3.0 (just imagining, I don't know what will happen next, but it clearly sucks).

P.S. Chart analysis and forums helps too, but history is a good background to start: less noise and less trolls.
