Ben read and played the markets; which is what you need when things are fucked (as per Draghi and the famous invisible bag of tools). Nothing else matters.  Yellen is going to make the mistake of trying to ignore the market.  

So, whilst she is being lauded by the likes of Rogoff et al, the market is heading into a period of extreme volatility, and Yellen will be seen to be a conductor without a baton.

Hmmmmmmm.

I just can't understand why the Dutch own all the media and are so disproportionately influential in the banking system. The Dutch Anti-Defamation League and ADPAC control all our politicans despite their tiny minority in terms of per capita population. It's weird how historical tragedies suffered by the Dutch are so widely taught in gross disproportion to their population in the country, and how the biggest religions in the USA are derived from pre-Roman gods and goddess of the Dutch.

'xactly.  'was almost completely out of equities by mid 2007, due to awareness of the impending crisis.  When did Janet finally wake up?  I didn't catch that in the article if it was in there.

If these people actually knew what they were talking about, I shouldn't be able to out-game them as consistently.  They must have far more resources than I do.

i thought i did better, it got out AT THE TOP.  and my parents also.  and i wasn't thinking about getting back in for a while, until i thought it was stable.  and then they did it.  rocket stocks to the moon.  i have no regrets about the real estate i sold and didn't buy.  but stocks.  i had NO IDEA they would break the law like that.

so - they out gamed me in the end.  and you pal.  and they double out gamed me, because the money i did not make in stocks and the devaulation that my cash took.  and they know exactly what they were doing, and will continue to do that until i'm broke.  and everybody else.  and then - you'll be theirs, working, if lucky for nothing. 

that is the plan, and it's working.  and nobody, not rep or dem is actually fighting against it.

Well, actually I did fail to mention that I reinvested in equities back in the summer of 2009 after it became rather obvious that the technical pattern no longer favored a continued down-trend long-term (in May or so 2009?).

Now is the real question, today!  I have once again substantially reduced my positions in equities (for whatever reasons), but I am wondering if my timing is any good this time.

And, if Obama were honest with himself (assuming he has any awareness of economics at all, which would appear to be totally debatable); he would be thinking, "and, maybe we shouldn't have forced Fannie, Freddie, and the HUD to buy quite so many mortgages [originated] from people who couldn't really afford the loan they were taking out; and, maybe we shouldn't have permitted ACORN and many many others to sue the banks for NOT making the same toxic loans; and, maybe we shouldn't have allowed the same banks to re-securitize then re-sell the same toxic loans in lieu of being sued for not making the toxic loans -- all while we encouraged the Fed to print the most money ever."

Nah, that's just not possible.  That couldn't have just happened.  (Well, at least I'm pretty sure he didn't just have that thought.)

Oh, she's a beard alright. A beard is someone who covers the behavior of others. It's commonly used as a term for women who go on dates with gay men in order to give the men the appearance of being straight.

It maybe planned that a giant recovery in the economy will now proceed.   The object less is that Janet is the first new
