Hilsenrath = Money 4 nothing & chicks 4 free

 

"I shoulda learned to play the guitar
I shoulda learned to play them drums
Look at that mama, she got it stickin' in the camera
Man we could have some fun
And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises?
Bangin' on the bongoes like a chimpanzee
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Get your money for nothin' get your chicks for free"

"There's always next year."

Cubs fans have been saying this for 106 years.

How long will the Fed be saying this?

Wake me up when the $2.7 trillion of excess reserves sitting idle at the Fed drops to zero.

His Bubbie begged him to become a Doctor or a Lawyer. But he settled for show business and his name in lights. As a the head puppet for the print masters he now warrants the same recognition of his favorite childhood puppet Kukla of the Kukla, Fran and Ollie Show. Oddly enough he also looks like Kukla

But is this the year they finally have egg on their face? Here's another 104 shitty articles from Brandon Smith at alt-market explaining why the end is just around the corner, like it was in 2014 and 2013 and 2012 and 2011 and

 

yep plenty of rational explanations here in 2015, but people continue to forget we're not in rational times.

We have been lulled into complacency by the extraordinary actions taken by central banks and governments over the last six years. Have these actions really worked or merely masked over major flaws and problems?  I contend that by not demanding the right kind of growth and by throwing money at problems we have only delayed and added to festering issues that face us in the future.

  Modern Monetary Theory often referred to as MMT by its many believers is to remove much of the risk ahead and guarantee that we will always be able to muddle forward. This is a economic theory that turns to newly acquired tools like derivatives and currency swaps that are suppose to allow us to print and  manipulate away problems. This has created an "almost surreal" feeling of indifference towards reality. More on why debt does matter and the system is about to fail in the article below.

Never gonna happen unless.............

When that Velocity of Money Chart from FRED quits going straight down to 1920s levels like it has been for 6 years.

Or to put another way all these dollars start coming home and inflation kicks in, then it really starts to kick in to the point that the American people start looking to buy IKEA funiture as fast as they can like the Russians are doing now. Then that Money Velocity really kicks in gear and they brag about a spurt of GDP just like Russia. Then what are they going to do? Raise rates to 17% like them to defend the currency? Recall Paul Volcker? That blows the Gov't 18trillion debt clean out of the water and they can't pay the Interest. They can't even raise it to 2-3% and tripling interest pmts now and still pay up

We are trapped either way, depression, stagnation in perpetuity because a True economic boom or a loss of confidence in the $ will be when it comes to and end wilth absolutely no way to stop it without shooting theirself right between the eyes.

So, the end is in the recovery itself. Careful what you wish for and be thankful that the recovery they pretend is happenning now is'nt real or heaven help if it was to ever overheat again from too much stimulus (which was waaaaaay smaller) like in 1983/4 after the 1980 recession.

P,S. They are never, never, ever going to let that Trillions of hot money ever get down to you. They have to keep you impoverished now to stay in power. They cant turn that 70% GDP maniac bat-shit crazy spending American comsumer loose now unless he's small and subprime and can't do major damage. Hell no, when you get laid off you get over there and get your EBT card and get in line for UI and STFU while we start a war

HaHaHa, USA is like a group of 10 Year Old Girls... they teach each other, they are Educated, they have good common sense... but ...The Believe whatever they were Taught.

This is like Propaganda in the USA.

Grown Men Believe whatever they are told in MSM, in news shows, Education, or from their Peers.

More like a group 10 years old girls putting on high heels shoes that's way to big, applying make up stolen from their mothers, and propping themselves up with their mothers bras. MSM tells us they are the new crop of Victoria Secrets Angels. Funny!

I find it funny how although everyone knows its not possible for the FED to raise rates EVER people still speculate on if and when they will raise rates.  Also its entertaining that even though the S&P M3 inflation adjusted price is currently around 7-8000 people are surprised it keeps going up from these stupidly undervalued levels.

 

 

Seriously, are you all retarded or just ignorant?   If the S&P was to go up 6000 points tomorrow it MAY be overvalued next week but right now its not even a question, buy equities with every dollar you can manage to borrow, it goes without saying every dollar you actually have should already be long.

I love how after the market has gapped up 5% everyone says "oh just buy stocks", but when it was going down every day for a week theres silence.  Guess all you guys are too busy panic selling when that happens.  It is naive to just assume that stocks will rally forever.  The money printing has stopped (in the US at least) and they are relying on words to keep the market up here.  Good luck, I think you'll need it.
