I just checked my thesaurus and there is no synonym for 'OURSELVES' which matches with 'THE WORLD (Stocks)'

Weimar Germany relived. History repeats itself. This time let's hope Hitler wins.

You forgot the word temporarily in the title.  Fuck the Central banks and their rigged game.  We need more people to thwart their efforts by not taking credit, not spending on useless crap, and withdrawing consent from the system, both economically and politically.

We have a positive feedback system running with the CB's and sooner or later we will go into a runaway race condition that will feed on itself and anything done to try and control it will make it worse. Interesting times coming.....

Ebola has already been run through the media machine, nobody is paying any attention because the Norks are the new cool thing. Of course if/when it blows up everybody will act surprised like they've never heard about it before.

The only thing sustaining the US economy are the US stock and bond markets even as wages stagnate, housing stumbles, student debt explodes and job creation falters.  And what sustains US markets are fraud, manipulation and lies courtesy of the Fed and the big banks and the media.

We are a superpower now.  We create our own reality.  And false reality looks very good now as Obama points out relentlessly. But unfortunately, false reality always yields to reality.

Let's see if the Central Banksters can save the implosion of the Japanese bond market which looks imminent.  Or developing problems in Greece.  Or the implosion in the price of oil. Or whatever Putin has planned in his counterattack in the economic war against Russia.

I have a serious problem understanding how the stock and/or the bond markets are "sustaining" the US economy. Weren't "the markets" supposed to REFLECT the status of the economy ? Open any book of economics you want, and that's pretty much what the theory says. However, right now we seem to have plunged in a total confusion between "cause" (i.e. the economy) and "effects" (i.e. the markets). Either we suddenly moved into a parallel universe, which only looks similar but has very different rules, or we live in the same old world as always inside a gigantic yet temporary lie.

If you are not wealthy and you are not invested into the Stock Market...well...

 

I am sorry to inform you. But YOU just do not count or amount to anything according to The Powers That Be.

Agreed. Then however, you won't mind me not getting into debt to buy all sorts of junk, or keeping my taxes to a minimum...

And "investors" are smug about how smart they are because they're making money in the market. They have no clue.

We talk about unpayable debts. Now the British government is about to do something about that:

That Debt From 1720? Britain’s Payment Is Coming

It is probably a mistake for any government to baldly state to its citizens that they are still paying debts to the ruling rich from hundreds of years ago.

"LONDON — Share prices went through the roof, speculation ran wild and money poured into ill-fated ventures before the boom turned, inevitably and catastrophically, to bust.

After that financial crash in 1720, called the South Sea Bubble, the British government was forced to undertake a bailout that eventually left several million pounds of debt on its books. Almost three centuries later, Britons are still paying interest on a small part of that obligation.

Now, prompted by record low interest rates, the British government is planning to pay off some of the debts it racked up over hundreds of years, dating as far back as the South Sea Bubble."

You could have said the same thing in 2009.

Plus, it is a lot more impressive to save the world when the the DJIA is 6600 (in March 2009) than when it's 15,372 (in February 2014).

Nouriel Roubini passed Greenspan upon the stair, saying "I thought you died alone, a long long time ago (?)"

Suddenly, light floods the darkened stairwell, Greenspan grabs Mick Ronson's guitar, plays a 3-note riff and, with Yellen on drums, Bernanke croons in his best mid-period Bowie:

Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the banks who saved the world
