Bullard Slams "Unsavory" Jim Cramer's "Permanent Cheerleading," Admits "Fed Can't Support Stocks Forever"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

When The Fed's own cheerleader-in-chief (see October 2014) slams you for cheerleading, you know it's gone too far. In a stunning 30 second clip on CNBC this morning, St.Louis Fed head Jim Bullard sent a message to "your friend Cramer", saying "The Fed cannot permanently raise stock prices," adding, rather astonishingly to the anchors, "to have [Cramer] cheerleading for lower rates 24 hours a day is unsavory."

 

We assume Cramer will rebut this statement later in the day by exclaiming "they know nothing!!"

Remember what happened the last time someone dared to criticize Cramer...

Cramer the first to be hanged.

It is obvious to anyone with a pulse that Cramer is mentally unbalanced…   Either CNBC thinks their viewers are idiots -or- that Cramer is a genius, either scenario speaks volumes…

I suppose "permanently", as in "forever," is true. But forever is a long time. So they'll go as long as they can. Could be six months, could be six years, could be six decades.

With the light bulbs in their little Keynesian heads finally starting to glow, FOMC has to be coming to the realization that it doesn't just have problem, it is about to get fucked in every Kama Sutra position known to man.  The blame game is on.  Everyone and everything will be a target for scapegoating as this next doozie of a recession grabs hold.  The idiot Cramer just got a taste of the bus tires.

Who asked Bullard what he thinks about Cramer?  Or about anything else?

It was so much better when the Fed spoke with one voice, and even then nobody could understand what they'd said. 

What should we expect next from our camera-happy Fed presidents?  Movie reviews?  Cooking shows?  Appearances on Dancing with the Stars?

EXACTAMUNDO!
The Fed truly needs to get a grip on the incessant sidebar conversation and comments thrown about by these guys.  They sound like a bunch of catty high school girls nattering about Alice's fucked up orange and purple hair.
It's unprofessional and a huge credibility problem.  Let alone policy nightmare.

They don't know what the fuck they're doing.  Bunch of sophomoric idiots.

Some years ago during a high school break, I'm walking to the drug store and a Mustang goes roaring past way too fast, unsafe, way too close to me being driven by some dumb looking blonde looking gal (CA, you get the picture) and some pimply faced turd riding shotgun with his hat on sideways flashes me the bird.
I walk over to the grocery and lo and behold, in walks the girl and her dumb fuck boyfriend.  He gives me a hard assed stare, she's watching the show so I look at her, smiled my grandfatherly smile and said ; "I know, little brothers can be so embarrassing."

I sometimes think we just haven't grasped (or admitted) that the world is never going to be ideal for us, it is always going to be a half-arsed way of "gittin'-'er-done". That aspired perfection is messy and quite achievable. And if we could get it, we'd complain bitterly about it's numerous flaws.

At first the herding of wealth and then the closing of the gates of the kill pens.

I think it was more of a dig at the e-mail from "Tim Cook" that Cramer pulled out of his ass that saved the market a few weeks ago.

Did we ever find out if the e-mail was legit? has there been any investigation?

Cramer knows his words move algos. It is pretty easy to manipulate the market when what you say on TV makes an algo buy or sell.

Markets do not exist in their own right; they are supposed to represent the value of the underlying companies and the state of the economy.

Companies provide real products and services into that economy.

Companies take raw materials and make them into products.

Cheap oil = collapsing global economy

Low commidity prices = lack of demand for raw materials from which real things are made

QE and low interest rates may have kept markets up, but the real economy is collapsing.

Maintaining the penthouse suite while the foundations are crumbling.

Central Banks policies just aren’t working.

"Cheap oil" -- Bullshit, because of central bank policy there is no price discovery!!!!!  By your own definition of a functioning market, price discovery is extremely important.

We have seen the results of a "let the majority eat cake" monetary experiment before.  The outcome will be no different this time around.

I liked Sylvian Raynes comment about remaining shallow in deference to Cramer, too funny! The anchor's commercial break comment 'Sylvain will not be with us when we return, Sylvain you need to be more polite" really cracked me up. Clearly the guests are expected to toe the propaganda line promoted by cnbc. SO, obviously the talking heads must promote the network propaganda position if they want any airtime. Same on all networks I expect, but refreshing to see it in action!

IMO, 100% of the reason behind the stock market rebound today is the FED's trotting out the member comments to purposely deflect attention  away from the latest FOMC debacle and to completely refocus it on October's meeting with ONCE AGAIN a signal that they'll raise rates.  Complete and utter bullshit when they've admitted that they are at the mercy of global economic events.  Should be the last "con".

Pathetic that it is working so far.

Theater for the muppets. We know Bulltard and Dudley will push for a much larger QE4 to save the pension funds. Probably close to $200 billion/month to juice stocks. For the Fed it's infinite QE and 0% until the dollar dies. Then it's onward to IMF SDRs (per James Rickards).

In debt-based fiat currency systems each unit of currency is backed by the face value of a unit of debt.

But the debt bears an interest rate that gets paid before the principal...meaning there CANNOT BE enough currency at the debt's maturity date to pay it off.

So, debt is never paid off. It is rolled-over.

With each roll-over the accumulated interest gets bigger, and the portion that is principal gets smaller.

Eventually the principal portion is too small to service the interest at current rates. Then interest rates must come down, or debt will not expand. 

And if debt doesn't expand, then there won't be enough currency to roll-over the debt securing the currently-existing currency...Because there is NEVER ENOUGH CURRENCY TO PAY BOTH THE DEBT, AND ITS INTEREST IN A CREDIT-BASED FIAT CURRENCY REGIME.

NEVER.

Eventually ZIRP is necessary to keep rolling over the credit backing the currency.

And eventually ZIRP is not enough.  Eventually you need NEGATIVE INTEREST RATES.

ENTER QE.

With QE the CB simulates expansions of debt to back currency creation in conjunction with the government.

So the government really has no choice on the question of how much to spend...it must spend enough to allow enough currency expansion to allow roll-over of past debts.  But it can still decide on WHOM to spend it.

BUT the QE results in the compounded interest further expanding, while the principal further shrinks...making the factors which triggered the QE in the first place even worse.

The only benefit to QE or ZIRP (if you can call it that) is delay.

The world wide credit-based-fiat currency system died in 2008. 

Since then we've just been waiting for the congnoscenti to realize it, and stop the useless and corrosive life-support, and get on with a plan to transition to a less fragile system.

The problem is that a side-effect of the debt-based currency system is that it empowered its cronies.  So they are in power, and married to this system, and can't envision a different one.

Cramer is one of the cronies. Bullard, obviously, is one too.

But Cramer is one who doesn't think past his payday, to its consequences.  That is what Bullard was really saying.

REGARDLESS, between them and the other cronies, they better decide soon, or the issue will be decided for them.  Then there will be a chaotic period where there is no consensus on what is money, and a consequent corrosion of trade.  That period will go on until there is a consensus on money.

But there is no telling how much trade disruption will occur during the process.
