Should be good for a percent on the SPOOs.... and another pound in my airsickness bag...
Thank you Burnyankme for forcing little old ladies into risk assets, you piece of shit motherfucking fuck fuck.
If he's saying interest rates won't normalize in his lifetime, maybe he's worried about his lifetime.
WTF?!?!? Is this guy a psychopath or something...
What was your first clue?
Bernanke: "No rate normalization during my lifetime..."
The soon to be historic quote that simply spells "GAME OVER".
Yes it finally is over folks... time to de-taper the taper, apply full steam ahead, and bravely go where no man has gone before... (except the Germans and Zimbabweans and the South Americans...)
Good luck all.
Fuck Bernanke, rather take a look at the video Blueberry Hill on What A Voice contest in Russia, guys

Buzz Bernanke.
To (QE) infinity and beyond.
Hope the fucker burns in hell after a hopefully short lifetime.
Cunt.
This slug should just slither off under the rock from which he came.
Staying in the spotlight will lead him to being made a shrunken head doll. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

If the people realized what he did to them he would not be able to walk the street without a body guard - doubt that he does now
Last video I saw he had numerous bodyguards. He better keep them. He'll need them in the future. That bald, bearded, lying fuck!
Through history, many of the people that are murdered that have bodyguards, are murdered by a bodyguard. Think about it, Ben.
Who pays for those?
You do, dumbass.
Hello
Nothing like bad cap good cap routine ... love it! these guys have really mastered it, from dems and reps to FED guys .... always the same, and somehow the muppets just keep staring at the lights... good .... DO NOT MOVE
hope he's twisting in the wind by the end of 1Q 2015
Meanwhile he's busy wishing he could stay out of the headlines, otherwise, he's gonna fuck this gig up too.
Little old ladies and little old men are not chasing yield. They are taking it up the ass. Granny will take her negative yields but she will empty her catheder into the brownie mix.
Thanks for that visual.

Want a brownie, sonny?
I think I will pass.
No Texas brownies for you! http://www.policestateusa.com/2014/jacob-lavoro/

I'm in the biz, they're chasing yield, trust me.
You are dealing with the sophisticated golden oldies. I was in the biz...and many will stay put because that is what they have done their entire lives.
It will be interesting to see who is reaching for Alpo first.

Bernanke: Stocks have risen because the economy is stronger. It had notheing to do with us throwing $4 trillion at it.
AND, we're 92,000,000 more strong than ever before!
Stocks have risen because of the profits graph above but even more because corporations are able to borrow for free thanks to Berthiefs Fed and use the cash to reduce the number of shares outstanding so that when all those who have to buy stock for whatever reason have many fewer shares from which to choose. Hundreds and undreds and hundreds of billions in buybacks the last few years and a Wilshire 5000 with something like 3500 stocks in it leave the world short shares.
did he mention that it is completely illegal and without basis; normal citizens are put in jail for similar conduct
burn in hell, bernank
Lying moldy piece of Cow shit!
in other news, gold demand going to increase along with price:
http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/05/how-to-create-matt...
You realize gold is only needed in very little quantities for this right? Gold has been used in many experiments like this before. It's used in nanoparticle research, and gold foil was first used in subatomic particle detection. This is because gold can be reduced to close to 1 atom thick. It doesn't mean the price of gold is going to the moon.
It might go to the moon, but not because of this.
hey Ben, its pass, give. your holding on to the smoke to long man!
I think it's puff puff give, but I still upped ya.
Puff...puff...pass...
Powerful stuff Bernanke and his ilk smoke, whatever it is.
straight out of satan's ass...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osculum_infame
its been too long...haha
I had a Parakeet that was smarter and more honest than this guy.
Quit blowing it out your ass Bernanke, the FED itself is the mistake.
Did doctor bernank recommend ebt food stamp holders to use their cards to buy yen and swap them for 10 year yields?

I printed money for my friends. I backstopped every stupid deal these dumb cocksuckers could conjure up. I paid par for every debt my friends had, even though most of their shit paper could be bought for substantial discounts.
My job is done.
Ben
For any last hold-outs, this should make it readily apparant that acedemics only look at surface level numbers and honestly believe all will fall magically into place. The REALLY funny thing is this guy truly believes he saved the world.
ahem...he saved his world. That he knows all to well.
The academic facade is the correct front for this sort of con.
Come on, give him some credit. He saved us from that evil deflation. Or so he says
/s
Let's see, when the stock market tanks and intersest rates are still near zero, will he be living abroad to avoid assasination?
Ben makes a great storyteller...tell us another fairy tale, Uncle Ben!
Fuck you.
That just plain makes me happy to see those two words side-by-side in reaction to a Ben Bernanke comment.
Fraud!
The Fed Balance Shet can stay large for years because we have no fucking way to reduce it. (without hurting our friends on wall street)
The logic's a little dubious. It's like saying I can carry 100k debt on credit cards forever because I have no way of paying it back.
its probably the best minds have come up with. U am sure they would be open to suggestions ... not sure though if there are other ways to sell it to the drugged down muppet crowd.
Wang Dong, indeed.
Ben....memo from main street
the economy is shit, barely hanging on by a thread. believe what you want from your statistical made up bull. but here in mainstreet usa people are getting increasingly desperate and depressed.
reminds me of the song White Rabbit-the one pill mother gives you doesn't do anything at all
Did Bernanke comment on the Fourth Central Bank Gold Agreement by the barbarians at the ECB et al.? It includes these gems by the charlatans:
"In the interest of clarifying their intentions with respect to their gold holdings, the signatories of the fourth CBGA issue the following statement:
Gold remains an important element of global monetary reserves;
The signatories will continue to coordinate their gold transactions so as to avoid market disturbances;
The signatories note that, currently, they do not have any plans to sell significant amounts of gold;
This agreement, which applies as of 27 September 2014, following the expiry of the current agreement, will be reviewed after five years."
He is being payed $250,000 to say this.
He's collecting on a note due.
FED balance sheet is a Pig in Python....
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
(SNORT, SNORT) HA HA HA
HA HA HA - (SNORT SNORT)
OMG, HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
And here I thought Wang Dong looked a bit like The Bernank. Obviously I was in dazed confusion.

Q. Eliminate all the busybody, do nothing work of economists like Greenspan, Bernanke, and Yellen, and what do you have?
A. A growing and productive economythat benefits all based on their wilingness to take risks and work.
Ahahahahaha!
Oh wait, he's SERIOUS....
It will stay large and get larger...as noone else will be buying our bonds....its the fake market....no buyers but the Fed...but it keeps the Politicians from making any hard decisions...
Why do we still have ZIRP if economy is doing better than ever?
Suppressed interest rates transfer money from savers to banks. The Fed works for the banks. Parts of this are obvious, some of it may not be.

How Do Banks Use Low Interest Rates To Take Billions From Savers & Investors?

"... Now it is true that there are times in financial and investment cycles where an asset-only strategy can bear substantial returns.
However, in an environment of moderate inflation, low growth and manipulated interest rates that are held to very low levels – which result in relatively low investment yields – then arguably to follow an asset-only strategy is to assume victim status relative to the financial institutions of the world who are thriving in this current environment..."
If he would just blow bubbles in a glass of milk or something remotely credible one could give him some credit...
Yes, I believe the thief. Why would he lie?!
Saved for a rainy day.
Hope to re-post when DOW hits new lows.
Remember Apollo 1 Oligarchs!
We are all Gus Grissom, White and Chaffee now...
I recall some arguing that QE is happening only if incoming FLOW to the FED's balance sheet continues. This summary sentence
*BERNANKE SAYS FED BALANCE SHEET COULD BE KEPT LARGE IF NEEDED
appears to say that continuation of the large/excess STOCK in the FED's balance sheet would be continuation of QE. Agreed?
Note QE start here

My question is about the tools that pay to listen to him = they have to be the most clueless, dumb, morons on the planet
BS(B) says BS
He managed to reduce the purchasing power of your money.
He managed to create the biggest Casino in history.
The mechanism for ever increasing stock prices: Free money by the barrel load funneled out of the dangerous housing market.
The FREE MONEY starts in the form of Quantitative Easing and no-cost bank loans (ZIRP).
Then compound this starter fuel with the lack of risk mitigating regulation (Barney-Frank is a laughable substitute for Glass Steagall) and Voila! You have created a explosive air-fuel mixture of unlimited leveraging on leveraging.
Good for the criminals who orchestrate this catastrophe in the making (Banking CEOs, Financial CEOs, Paid off Politicians) is the fact that the public is convinced that we still live in a MERITOCRACY. The hard hard times that are sure to follow will be blamed on the victims and accepted as a result of middle class folks not working hard enough and being smarter about THEIR money. Wealth = Righteous; Poor = Undeserving.
Should we laugh or should we cry?
My errection is stronger since I haven't been laid in weeks...
So he quit his day job to become a comedian? Funny stuff!
There's a disclaimer at the door before you go in to his little speech, it reads: Upon the payment of $250,000 you must agree to agree with everything the bearded jerkoff says in his speech. For an extra 10k you can barf in his face.
Thank you for the chart that shows what I've been saying for years. "International Corporations" profits and a rising S&P have little to do with America's economy certainly where manufacturing is concerned. This president is destroying any remaining possibility to get heavy industry back to America. Your charts graphically display that for all to see!!
Arrest Bernanke for treasonous heresy. Don't let him get away. Impeach Yellen for money-laundering US Treasuries through Brussels.
1. Stupid
2. Liar
3. Stupid mother fucking liar
Bernanke = "Lying Fucking Jew Bastard"
"BERNANKE SAYS EQUITIES HAVE RISEN BECAUSE ECONOMY IS STRONGER"
Stocks followed the size of the FED balance sheet. Not sure who Bernanke thinks he is fooling.
Insanity=Doing something over and over again expecting different results.
Federal Reserve= Monetizing everything not nailed down expecting deflation not to occur
Modern economic theory=Preventing asset deflation over and over again expecting asset inflation is better
Everyone=Assuming inflation and Deflation are about asset prices only...
See Depression
Fuck Bernanke, may his soul never find peace and sleep with the pigs.
Bernanke is a fearful cowardly professor. Einhorn pulls the curtain back more for all to see this coward and small small man. Bernanke says he was following the Japanese money printing model. Do you know what Bernanke advised the Japanese to do in early 90's? His advice is close to the philosophy you read on ZH for the 2007/08 financial crisis. This required to much strength and fortitude for a fearful cowardly professor to execute in the heat of the moment. QE1 saved the world in people's mind. Maybe so and Maybe not, but once you start printing how do you stop?
By the way, how is the Japanese experiment working? Intellectuals say America's major solution to our economic malaise is more education. Using Bernanke as a model, I believe our intellectuals are wrong--once again.
When you cut employees, capital spending and R&D plus use ZIRP money to borrow and buy back stock from public, a high school graduate could boost corporate earnings.
Do you think we might be sacrificing the future to save the present. Government does this to buy vote, so I guess corporate America is just following their example with all western central banks pleading for them to save the day. All this shit is just pure POPPYCOCK.

Bernanke should've called them first.
But, then, eh. Most people won't know.
Too bad those who actually sold the bubble
were shafted. For them a Toys-R-Us symbol
on the money would be less annoying than
something suitable to oligarchy, like a
pyramid.
But it doesn't look like he would've had
a Plan B (not counting democratic process,
presumably.)

What all of y'all said.
I'm certain whatever I would have written has been covered.
I'm goin' fission.
CAN SOMEONE SHUT THIS MOTHERFUCKER UP????!!!
Jesus H. Christ Shalom....FUCKING GO THE FUCK AWAY!
Since what we're naming the thing that in the US (and the world) doesn't fit the definition of "the economy", what then should it be called?
Can someone please stick a sock in this guys mouth? Thanks.
The most important thing is he avoided the spiral deflation. heheh
I hope he realizes that the mob is still making his place the first stop. Wear a kevlar scarf you asshole.
