They're going to kill the Fed.
Tentative last safe date to get your Bernankes traded for something of intrinsic value is the end of the first quarter, 2010.
Well...you you could just take my word for it and save both of us some valuable time, but you probably want enough details to ...

Everything we know about classic economic theory suggests the U.S. economy should be experiencing Zimbabwe-like hyperinflation right now, thanks to the nearly $2.2 trillion the U.S. Federal Reserve has pumped into the system.
But we’re not…yet.
Classic economic theory says that money supply can be used to stimulate the economy and our ...

The Fed’s been carrying on with its wayward monetary policy. And it's carried on with the carry trade by keeping short-term rates low.
In deciding to make hardly any changes to its interest rate policy or even the language from its last statement, the Fed is encouraging traders to resume the ...

“Recovery is here!” the Pollyannas shout. “This is the first sign. And soon all nations will be following with their rate increases.”
They talking, of course, about the Australians decision to hike their central bank index rate. And instantly the howls of recovery were on the lips of all the pundits.
But ...

When Ben Bernanke gave his speech to the London School of Economics, our reporter was on the scene. Terry Easton put a tough question to America's central banker: aren't your interventions just making the situation worse, he wanted to know.
Amid the blah...blah...blah...of Bernanke's response was this:

We’ve had another turn in dollar strength and in the currencies markets. All eyes are fixed today on the Federal Open Market Committee announcement. We’ll see what view they have for us this month.
This has been quite a month so far, with healthcare taking center stage in the national debate. ...

Good news everyone! The end of the world has been postponed indefinitely. You may now carry on as if another credit bubble is blowing (which it is, in China).
It was a truly bullish way to wrap up the week. China reported a 7.9% rise second in quarter GDP, driven mostly ...

The results are in for the two-day Federal Open-Market Committee meeting, where Ben Bernanke and the rest of the Fed eggheads set interest rates. This time, no one expected them to make a move on rates, and the Fed did not disappoint -- rates were held the same.

Damn you, World Bank.
The World Bank now says the global economy will contract by 2.9% this year instead of 1.7%. That could be right. But that's not the reason stocks are falling. The rally that began in March has now run out of steam. It's also run out of news ...
