Financial Instability & The Fed
Submitted by Martin Armstrong via ArmstrongEconomics.com,
The argument that the Fed should do nothing - for it will be harder to correct a rate rise than to do nothing - because there is no bubble anywhere, demonstrates that we have the most serious BUBBLE in history. Retail participation in markets is still off by 50% from 2007 highs. People have invested in fixed income and now there is a crisis is fixed income hedge funds.
The BUBBLE is is low interest rates (GOVERNMENT) rather than the markets. This is what our computer has been projecting for 2015.75. It is right before everyone’s eyes, yet they cannot articulate what they cannot see.
The crisis has been created by the ZERO interest rates. This has wiped out the elderly and destroyed the so called American Dream.
The middle class has been collapsing for government taxes them under the pretense that Social Security is a savings for their future, when in fact it is just a tax.
Pensions have have chased long-term rates driving them lower and lower trying to meet their future obligations.
China poured more concrete in 3 years than the USA did in nearly a century. This has driven the commodity markets and that has come to an end. China thus is blamed for the slow down and for the decline in its currency they call a war and manipulation. The trend has simply changed.
Combining these elements does not speak well of the future.
The FED is between a rock and a hard place. It will be blamed no matter it does. Nobody seems to understand the dynamics of the trend in motion.

So pop the buggle BIGGER than expected, right?
>>> END THE FED.
>>> KEEP THE FED.
<<< CHOP THEIR HEADS OFF!
There is no down side (I meant arrow)
We lowered rates, then bought a buch of bonds, swaps, FX. Nothing worked! Let's try raising rates? OK!
Can anyone explain why 2015.75 is not technically 30th September 2016?
ie. today's date is really 2014.96
<<< Bernie sanders controlling the printing press
<<< FED Troll controlling the printing press.
somehow, i don't think it matters
they deserve to be blamed no matter what they do because they are fucking MAGGOTS.
No matter what happens, Armstrong will never proofread his articles.
Oh I think a lot of us understand the trend. What nobody pretends to understand is that we are on the cusp of the end of the Western economic experience as this has been understood for over 100 years.
It's over, niggas. Start to deal with "over".
Very likely the end of the Western economic experience as it has been understood for nearer to 500 years.
It's the beginning of the end of the middle of the beginning of the end.
Is that you Martin?
So right about here...
........................................x.....................
Its the end of free and the beginning of expensive.
Now decisions will start to have costs.
Its still all about the yen and when Japan decides to end its currency.
The Fed will be blamed because they are guilty. The true mandate of the Fed is enriching the Wall Street, Banking, Crony Capitalist Corporate and Oligarch criminals by stealing from the American People. And that's just fine with the political parasites as long as they continue to receive their regular bribes.
The Fed steals (skims) the money from the corporation of the united states (its people that is),then sends it to the city of london, which distributes it to the owners of the corporation.
WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY NOT IN PRISON ALREADY?
Laugh Track Deafening
Prison is for poor people and the occasional cast off or embarrassment to "the herd" to be made an example of.
Their offenses are only punishable by the guillotine. This should commence immediately.
The poor and the middle class have already been gutted.
The rich only call themselves rich because of their asset values.
The world needs another place to pour concrete to replace China. A starting point could perhaps be every place where the US military has stuck its nose in and resulted in the destruction of nation after nation.
Martin's gotta say something
His roller coaster downward slide chart hasn't moves since Putin stated bombing Syria
Hey ace, does this look like NO bubble!

So you're saying I should buy no-load diversified mutual funds?
My bad bank and your bad bank playing with some matches
My bad bank said to your bad bank "I'm going to set this world on fire!"
Rate hike, Rate hike, no way!
Grace
Funny, how life works, and nothing else does.
History, cutting off the front end and placing it in back, dooming itself to the replication of derivative symptoms, chasing their own tail and always getting further behind, doesn't. Like Waterloo, it is always tripped up by its own unforeseen circumstance, opportunity lost. Judgment is the illusion.
The artifice of collective security is a gravity buffer, which can only recognize and consume itself. Even now, the creatures hope against hope that issuing credit to legacy capital in one direction and legacy capital and the middle class in the other, the artificial business cycle, will reboot itself. A sixth grader could write a program to regulate artificial real estate inflation, make-work for the majority, and probably is.
Walk across Mendocino County, occupied by Government, and see them still selling redwoods to Asia for particle board houses, to maximize profit on imported real estate inflation. LA, its import/export bank, empties 600,000 kids onto a population of millions in a shiny ghetto, encrypting itself. And you open the Court door, to see the courtiers breeding stupid by the millions, with Silicon Valley as the printing press.
What more do you need to see?
Whether the majority replaces itself with machines, bombs itself, or shoots itself in the head is irrelevant to the kids leaving stupid behind, in a rear-view house of mirrors they do not need. Only a fool enters the circus of Family Law, saying one thing and doing another, under a constitution of mythology, because some carnival barker profits on conferring Ph.Ds on fools. Once again, Russia has set the same damn trap, a derivative built by morons to catch a bear.
Tesla was no fool made by History, but instead stood on the shoulders of Archimedes, as so eloquently described by Hugo. That humanity is a self-absorbed bug is of no great surprise. The past belongs to empire and all those who seek it; the future belongs to none, except those capable of swimming, in and out of the current.
Grace is not trapped by the communists; the communists are trapped for lack of Grace. Nor does a heartless bastard marry Pollyanna to teach his children the stupidity of History, which they can readily see for themselves, but rather to confirm the unique identity of Grace, a teaspoon of sugar to make the medicine go down. The artifice of equal outcomes, different colors with the same self-shorted brain, doesn't produce inequality by accident.
That brain in your head is an antenna, folding in on itself with cephalization, to produce a conscience. Assuming the universe lacks consciousness, for the sake of tuning in the same damn channel, day after day after day, to reinforce groupthink, has only one outcome, war with itself, in a mirror built for the purpose. Denial, anger and depression, the state of Nation/States, is the same wherever you go.
Trading wealth, meaningful work, for money, only to be then traded for control, over nothing but the illusion of itself, is a waste of time. Computers trading 1s and 0s with themselves, with humans chasing the derivatives, is not life. Throw your kids right in, and let them see for themselves, the sooner the better.
Invent yourself, and everything else will take care of itself. That's life, the future you build while others talk, amongst themselves. All limits on imagination are self-imposed accordingly.
The gate to the universe is in your head, not in a book or on the Internet, or anything else you may purchase from the latest and greatest new world order, issuing rights and privileges by arbitrary decree. Grace is Grace. There is no other.
Funny, my brood is Kristie, Ashley, Elizabeth and Grace, and the feminists working for chauvinists, dividing and conquering so-emasculated males and masculated females, think they stand a chance, calculating probabilities to nowhere, hedging one against the other, crack me up. Me against Government – of , by and for the majority; I'll take that bet every time, twice on Sunday. And I'm not alone.
You may not want to declare war on an AI programmer, or not. Suit yourself.
Too Incoherent, Didn't Read (TIDR)
Stop taking the mind altering drugs and get back on the medicine Kevin.
Keep calm and buy the fucking dip.
Wouldn't it be fun if they raised it half a point?
