Is This Why Christine Lagarde Is Suddenly "Quite Worried" About Disconnect Between Market, Economy?

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It appears the ruling elite have finally woken up to the reality in which the rest of the world's laboring populace has been living. IMF head Christine Lagarde stated this morning she is "monitoring buoyant markets" with "lots of hesitation" while noting "weak economies." We have one simple question for the oompa-loompa-colored 'economic expert' - what took so long?

  • LAGARDE SAYS DISCONNECT BETWEEN MARKETS, ECONOMY 'QUITE WORRYING'
  • LAGARDE SAYS FED'S QE POLICY HAS 'DONE MUCH TO AID RECOVERY'

You decide!

 

And then there's this...

  • LAGARDE SEES WORRY MARKET, LIQUIDITY RISK MOVING TO 'SHADOWS'
  • LAGARDE: GLOBAL RECOVERY `BRITTLE, UNEVEN AND BESET BY RISKS'
  • LAGARDE: WORLD ECONOMY NEEDS BOLD MOVES TO AVOID `NEW MEDIOCRE'

You poor thing. See we own two properties on N.Ocean Blvd in MB. 

I contacted Dawn inquiring the cost of a new two bedroom high floor owner purchase. It's a fucking time shagging development to pretend to think the market is stable. hypothecation financing is provided...Stop lying bitch.

How can we invest in new properties when they become a time share joke. 

There is another vacant property going for 2.1 million, it doesn't meet code. Even though it's on the ocean. Scratches my head..for about 250 years before our country created the constitution. We could build and create employment. 

Stupid fucks in Washington, DC.

So, WE THE SHEEPLE hope that if the Fed gives $4 trillion to bank lobby oligarchs and if Obama and bank lobby try to dismantle the military, life will instantly get better

 

Remember what I said?

Wait. It's gonna get worse

 

It seems that a Pentagon Junta is becoming inevitable to fix economic problems, otherwise....bye bye USA and bye bye western world

No don't. That's part of the Alex Jones propaganda crew. Selling products and stirring up shit has been the MO. He never points his followers to educate the law. If his followers found out, he would be without a job barking to buy the next terrorist prevention product.

That socialist put into place all the current policies that have destroyed the economy of France.I still say that these Keynesians that run everything including The Fed who are a direct economic threat to The United States of America.The deep state needs to wake up in a hurry to what James Rickards has told all of them.It's no longer a military threat of any kind.It's the current banking system run by these bums that seems to have a secretive agenda to the people and authorities themselves.End and abolish a corrupt Fed and return authority to The Treasury.

who could ever imagine that merely printing a dozen trillion in new fiat, without addressing any of the fundamentals [banking law, education, regulation, etc.] would result in artificial stimulation, a sugar high, which represents nothing other than more currency being used to chase equities and chase yield and create new debts representing amounts orders of magnitude larger than the amount of currency in existence?

 

Honestly, reasonable people can differ as to whether or not economics is a science, but there's no compelling reason to allow academics to interfere and meddle with national or global economies.  They don't seem to appreciate basic math, basic thermodynamics - or, they do, and they are in bed with the banking interests which profit the most from this ongoing, massive theft and Potemkin recovery.

Recently she said that she received death threats from Greek people. The Greek prosecutor wanted to go after them and was asking for evidence. Turned out it were comments on social media. Hardly worth saying they were death threats.

What are all of you ZH'ers thoughts on the recent stock market dip being due to uneasiness about Ebola, possibly by those more in the know than the average investor or even just regular citizen? I'm sure it's been said here on any number of threads but I haven't seen it yet. Just curious.

I have seen some major write-ups on cocoa (chocolate) futures.

Watch to see if Ebola gets into Ivory Coast (next to Liberia) and Ghana. Those two countries produce around 50% of the world's cocoa.

If Ebola gets started there you can bet the prices of chocolate bars will start rising very quickly.

You, and your co-horts have set humanity back by a thousand years with the 'Debt' based society you think you are born to rule.  Just wait a little longer you oranged faced cunt.

There will be no place on earth, either you, or those you serve can hide.

The gubmint has Big Balls to brag their GDP number is "4.6%."

NFW!

Every store manager I know is writhing in pain seeing their sales plunge even lower not only m.o.m. but also y.o.y.  Stores are pushing out there Christmas junk into the aisles praying someone, anyone buys anything with the few pennies theyhave left!

I'm expecting the Easter stuff any day now as each store runs to beat the next store to make a sale for that last dollar in the Broke Donkey's pocket.

And now that the State Department was kind enough to grant a visa to the African Ebola patient who then has been wandering around Dallas, who in their right mind is going to walk through a crowded mall? Pick up that sweater/dress/shirt that some asympotmatic Ebola carrier just handled and/or possibly coughed/sneezed on?

LAGARDE SAYS FED'S QE POLICY HAS 'DONE MUCH TO AID RECOVERY'

The recovery as the oligarchs want that pushed up asset values. The bit they do not want to tell the poorest 1/3 of populations everywhere globally seeing as the dollar is the world reserve currency YOU WERE SHAFTED!

WITHOUT AN  ASSET YOU COULD NOT PARTAKE IN THIS PRINTED MONEY BONANZA ISN'T THAT RIGHT MR FED.

The recent drum beats and flames of war have distracted many people from focusing on the economy. The markets are extended beyond beyond, all this comes at a time when the IMF is calling for more QE. It seems this might be a good time to review the reasons this is economically unsound and a bad idea while markets are setting new record highs and economies continue to struggle.

The policies of the last six years have yet to produce the desired and expected results promised. As a consolation many economist, bankers, and those who have benefited greatly tell us we would be in far worse shape if we had not taken this course. Now it seems Central Banks and the IMF are clueless on how to proceed and a policy going forward. More on the lack of a clear path in the article below.

When there is a perceived floor supporting financial assets, the hurdle rate for investing in the real economy is higher and will therefore suffer. That is one of the costs of Qe. Also, can't judge the policy until we have seen a round trip - what happens when the monetizing ends or goes into reverse. Then tell me if it was a success.

On the ebola issue, people should know that the CDC owns a patent on a strain of ebola.  That's why earlier patients with ebola were brought to this country, so the CDC could study and expand its patents.  As usual, it's always a case of qui bono--reprehensible!
