The Fate Of The "Free Market" Is In Their Hands

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Of the 298 Bloomberg Terminal users that are currently registered with the New York Federal Reserve Board (according to Bloomberg Search), the great majority are "red" today - celebrating Indigenous People's Day we assume. However, while everyone's favorite "market intervenor"(sic), Kevin Henry, currently spearheading the NY Fed's Chicago office, remains "grey"- preferring not to share his status with the world after this - there are a few traders and analysts hard at work maintaining the status quo with "Trader/Analyst" Yan Chow appearing the most capable of holding up US stock markets without the aid of a bond market safety net.

These are the only non-red or grey members of the 298 Bloomberg terminal users today...

 

But of the lit and semi-lit BBG subscribers listed above, none is more important than the only "green" trader - Yan Chow... formerly of Lehman and Paulson & Co!?

 

So if we close Green and your paper wealth has been safeguarded today, please think of Chow when Christmas card time comes around.

First, torture waterboard them until they tell us what the year-end close is going to be for the SP500...for each of the next 5 years.

It is ironic and sad to think Yan Chow's father might have risked his life trying to escape from central planning.

Ha!  His son is making damn sure that isn't going to happen.

Speaking of that, comrades, which five-year plan are we on?  Is it not year two of the eighth?

I think the equivalence with Japanese centralized planning more apt, since the US is racing to follow the Japanese into oblivion.

 

I believe Japanese use Ki to build up their 5-11 year plans....

The pensions can bail each other out.

From one side of their mouth they say, “only invest money you can afford to lose”.

From one side of their mouth they say, “you must contribute to your 401K”.

Well, if you can’t afford to lose it, why does the preface ‘401K’ make it OK?

It is an obscenely perverted and treasonous nation that allows:

 

  1. A fiat currency backed by nothing.
  2. A Central Bank controlled by banks.
  3. A Central Banks that gambles ("trades") using the public treasury.
  4. A Central Banks that backstops speculators while punishing savers.

such statements are unrealistic and counter productive. There is no need for violence, and having the first comment on an article about an important matter furthers the idea that we are all crazy. The solution is simple and nonviolent: END THE FED. Ending the fed, and ending 'too big to fail' would go a long way towards bringing free markets back to this country and the world. Killing a bunch of easily replaceable stooges solves nothing. Ending the primary vehicle for market manipulation and cronyism solves much

disagreed vehmently, do you think the fed and all their coharts are going to let ending the fed happen without violence/ fucking dellusional thinking. sudden in the middle of the night snuffs as in "by any means",(nsa ect.) will happen. look what happened when ron paul tried to edit the fed. haha, and that wasn't violent and went nowhere. yea we found out the enormousness of crdit extended and to whom. who cared because they knew there was not a fucking thing that was going to come out of it. if somehow you or i could "end the fed" there would be violence. to many living the life of orielly for it to change peacefully. ha ...

Sam Selonick.  Current position:  FRBNY, StreetSquash.

OK, maybe it's a New York thing, but what the hell is StreetSquash and why does it sound so perfectly appropriate for somebody working at the Fed?

 

EDIT:  Whoah!  Where'd the rest of the article go?  I didn't make this comment up out of thin air.  Chow Yung Fat or whateverthefuck his name is, isn't the only one showing green.  What?  No love for 'ol Sam?  I still want to know what StreetSquash is.  You can't put that out there and then yank it back after I get interested.  I NEED CLOSURE!

(I detect a glitch in the matrix.)

This is how bad it's become. Trying to hold up a Ponzi scheme with printed money.

Like in Japan.  Anyone think this is a sound financial system?

Seems like an end game with desperation in play.

But Kev' will show up for the last hour to monitor Yan.  Kev' wants to push the "Buy Every Fucking Thing" button with the Bernanke profile on it while he gets sucked off by the new intern from NYU.  It is his best thrill since Yellen cut off his QE mad money.

Boy!...

I certainly wouldn't want to be Yan Chow right about now after seeing his name in "lights"...

If I were him I'd be putting that second language he probably speaks to good use and find work in that Country that is on verge of having real purchasing power and help them fuck up the algos at GS and JPM!

A bad economic outcome of the Fed's focus on propping up company shares in the market is the starvation of real companies out of starting capital.  Instead of speculating on businesses, money is speculating on the Fed's get rich quick ponzi scheme markets.  It is pathetic how much the Fed doesn't know about how economies actually function.  This economy will never recover as long as the Fed is allowed to operate freely without adult oversight.
