Janet Yellen's FOMC Press Conference - Live Feed

Tyler Durden's picture




 

While trying to avoid 'foot in mouth' disease, Janet Yellen begins another press conference. We wish her luck in explaining how great the new is that they are tapering and yet have slashed growth expectations for the year... key will be any comments on complacency (as VIX collapses to a 10 handle)...

create the bubble with easy money. collapse the bubble with successive int rate increases, all the borrowers go under water enslaving them to you, many default allowing you to capture those assets people have worked their lives for, for nothing more than paper. the tentacles of the fed, their franchises, the banks, get swamped with all these assets, the owner (the fed) creates an equivalent amount of money to the bubble it created in the first place and "buys" all the "bad" mbs its tentacles have now acquired, both devaluing their debt slave's savings by that amount and capturing all those yummy house assets for the feds true owners/creators. the system called federal is working perfectly for its owners, and i know none dare call it treason but someone really should. on a side note, if the fed is a private corporation, and it is, why doesn't it pay taxes? must be a religion like apple.

 

the feds true dual mandate for 100 years

capture all assets through boom and bust

enslave a free people to debt.

Gotta feel somewhat empathetic for her postion though.  It's a lose/lose type of deal.  I imagine Tom Cruise feels the same way:  Try your best, but the shit is just getting old.

its all part of the plan by the owners, if they want to hand off to china they will. there's nobody here that cares, or isn't paid off.

the system called fed, is either incompetent in the managing of the legacy congress gave it in 1913,

or a criminal organization determined to steal all of america and enslave its people to unrepayable debt.

either way the fed is a no longer welcome guest the american house. a madman dead set on destroying our home.

 

ps i did leave out the current climate, where the tentacles (the tbtf) has used all the new money

to buy the market with zero risk zirp funds, which is clearly the only thing driving the market.

I would assume you meant to say that the Fed will hand off  everything of value to their fellow Jews. That's why we had Greenspan, Bernanke, Yellen, Summers, Rubin in charge.

no i meant hand off the the reserve status, as to the persons involved they all remain the same.

New to comment, but QE policy is really a Marketing or PR statement. What FRB really trades is different. The FRB was buying 3b or more MBS and 10b agencies day in '06 before QE1 was around. Most investment bankers know this. Kinda like Disneyland all fun and games on the surface, with a whole slew of tunnels and security guys below or behind the scenes. That is why a lot of market behavior makes no sense, "heh, lets taper again and GSPC climbs public statements is just marketing PR BS."
