thank you Mr Fed, you really got history right and exactly the way it is.

Thanks SilverRose. Feel free to join the discussion on my Crash of 2008 youtube homepage, left hand side....

Mr. Fed

I think a good part of the deflation cycle is over now. Most hedge funds are either broke or in cash. My money is now returning to the stock market. Although I thought depression was a good possibility I no longer think so for the US. Depression for Asia is probable.

We won't know the AUDITED financial results of these corporations until they come out in January.

These are only released once a year and largely caused the sharp downdraft this January.

Current numbers are very deceptive.

Consumer demand continues to collapse worldwide.

MUCH more deleveraging to go. As the market for mid-tier CP has dried up, tens of billions of standby letters of credit are being used instead... that is all migrating to bank balance sheets. Read the FT, turn off CNBC.

Hey Mr. Fed-- Love your videos. It's the eve of another FOMC decision.. how about some more commentary? We need another installment.

[Crashof2008]

Thanks!

This is going to be quite the meeting. So much going on! I just may provide an update.

The meeting will last two days. For those who claim that the Fed just "prints money" they should try to wade through their agenda and explain what the Fed talks about for two entire days!

In the meantime, Krishna Guha's commentary in today's FT on what is coming up is amazing.

BIG things going on!

Mr. Fed

Fractional reserve lending and interest will allways bring doom to your doorstep. Don't build exponential systems, as we physicists say. They always explode into your face. Like Fukushime! Atomic Bomb = Exponential system. 3-5% growth per year: Explosion after 90 years! Any mathematician or physicist knows that much. Economists are moros in my view.

[nld1960]

Thank you Mr. Fed. I am new to your channel and I am not sure what your take is on the coming economical problems that we will soon see. Did you think it will be depressive or inflationary? Thank you

What makes excessive leveraging possible? Artificial money creation by the Fed of course! Leveraging is nothing more than corporations buying on the margins. The solution to this problem is not BETTER regulation, but the abolition of monopoly money created by central planners.

Great videos - it's tantalising to know what your thoughts are now with all that has happened.

There are a few more - kdenninger, vision victory, manoftruth who talk about this kind of thing and your stuff is top of the pile - high quality - please come back !

Your videos were quite educational. Why did you quit?
