Animal spirits is a rediculous bullshit concept economist came up to make money. It is called people see the yields on government bonds at 3% and look at interest rates at .25% and figure that inflation is higher than the government reported numbers, because the government HAS AN INCENTIVE to hid...

Are you speaking in real or in nominal terms? Just because an individual now makes $20,000 instead of $10,000 does not mean that individual is making more in REAL terms. Remember, real terms matter much more than nominal terms. Also I couldn't imagine transfer payments should be that large of we...

@DrBoobY2K

Too bad They own our country in nominal terms, not real. Dumby, money is printed out of nothing and we still have the biggest and best military in the world. They have a lot of our paper and we have all the goods the dummies sit in factories producing for us for paper we print. So you...

@TheJaneD99

Study some Economics... Its not a Speculation if you understand Economic Policy. He is talking about an entire country rather than a single Stock. Just because he says it is a buying opportunity does not mean has allocated a significant amount or any amount of capital in Japan. This...

@mixmastermeeks

Whether it is more dangerous or not, you are missing the point. It should be the individuals own choice.

One thing you didnt include ( I have a double major in economics and Finance) is that quantitative easing not only lowers yields, but masks the real risk of the investment in 10 year treasury notes because at some point in the future Ben has to stop purchasing these. Once he does yields should go...

@lnclincoln

that is what I wish I would have done. Instead I am stuck with a double major in economics and finance and a piece of paper that is worth jack sh*T

@MrMarilynMonroe

Omg Vevo, You are such a hero!!!!!! You get paid in advertising dollars so please, spare us all the "we are here to help" b.s. attitude. Also, someone else's music? Isn't that exactly what you are doing? Or are you in fact, Rihanna? Congrats for brushing up a few videos with you...

@ChrisVarick

Shes firecrackers on the fourth* lol

@IndexFundsAdvisors

No it is not. The concept of an index fund is based on the fact that, without a significant amount of time for thorough analysis, an index fund is the second best thing. Efficient market hypothesis is a myth.

@spamdude1 Atleast that is what I took out of it. I have a double major in Econ and Finance and took Monetary policy so I hope that helped :)

@MidnightAngel92

LOL!

@IndianaHenryJones20

Je parle Frances aussi. Did you mean your English is not that good? **criticize ... You are the one calling out Universities in the United States and than touting how many languages you speak. You don't speak English on an intermediate level, you speak it about as well as th...

Also, life insurance is essentially a time value of money scheme. They take your payments today, invest it and pay you back in debased dollars. You could make more for your family if you simply bought a low cost index fund

@UBSCARED CPI is a deeply flawed statistic and where are you getting these numbers? These also contradict commodity prices. It is similar to as if a government weather man said hey its not raining outside and you went outside and it was raining. Also, you know how I know that data is wrong? Becau...

8.3% return which remember, doesn't include inflation. Some people have speculated that the CPI has actually gone up by 9.8%, which would render those returns negative in real terms :X

@boogle362

Your pathetic and so are the people who liked your awful comment. Just because you don't agree with Chris Christie's political opinions does not mean you should wish his death. The statement public sector employees are tax payers too is repugnant and insulting. They are a smaller por...

@jimbo525SE

You can buy/ look for his documentary series free to choose on the internet or torrent sites. I obviously dont technically condone the torrent sites, but if you find that the marginal benefit of downloading the video is greater than the marginal cost of possibly getting caught... go ...

@dkswede Well said. I also would state that, some people seem to misunderstand Friedman's roll in providing economic policy recommendations in Chile. Just because Chile's government was obviously not a Democracy, does not mean Freedom did the wrong thing by encouraging free enterprise so that the...

Andy Mckee your music is the only thing that gets me through studying for exams in college. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing talent with the world

@mikeydoggy

You don't know anything about economics. Go get a degree or atleast some sort of understanding of economics before you start posting dumb videos.

The government is not a corporation. Also the number 14 trillion is GDP numbers not tax revenue. David walker is not spreading propaganda for the federal Reserve. The federal reserve is a quasi-public institution that controls the money supply. Monetary policy and Fiscal policy are different and ...

@iamjalove

Well yes of course a central bank is in a sense a communist institution you'll get no argument from me there. :)

@acrophobe

Also I am currently a part-time teller while i try to find a job and yet for the past three years I have actually killed the S&P 500. Talk about underemployed.

@MsZeitgeist85

Who's We? I didn't call it that nor would I bet any other economist would either. If you have a tariff on a good or service then it is not freely exchanged and the government is artificially increasing the price of a foreign good from it's free market price, thus decreasing the q...
