Worst yet, the markets are manipulated by the government. The government regulators know this and do nothing to correct the manipulation. Why? Because our political leaders are afraid. And our politicians believe they know what is best for us. They don't want to lose power and control. It's as simple as that. Let's get rid of them and vote in some real leaders.

Great video. I'm a first time viewer. I like your clear succinct style. I 've stocked up on gold silver and food to the best of my ability to date, need to do more.
Just got touched by the downturn, my company has reduced all hours by 10 to 20% for everyone. So its getting real for me now.
I've put in a garden and am buying a CSA Farm Share for this season, suggest others do the same. It will be good to get to know your local farmers and support them so they can help support you latter!

ok I just got to 2:40 ! I guess that's a yes!
hi i am a new subscriber-i appreciate all of your insight! i am not an economist but i am desperately trying to understand all of what is going on. is it possible economic4caster for you to explain a little more for example why the federal reserve purchases debt to suppress rates on treasury bonds-how does that work??

Sure, it is simple supply and demand. If there is low demand for treasury bonds then interest rates go up to attract buyers. The Government pays you higher interest for buying debt. So when the Federal Reserve buys treasury bonds they soak up some of the excess supply which pushes interest rates down. They print money and buy debt.

Doesn't the increase in bond rates mean an increase in confidence about the future.
My recommendation is to avoid gold, and only have a little silver.
If there is a bad collapse gold and silver will be useless. Tinned and dried food and toilet paper are much better.
Also, I can't really see where hyper-inflation is going to come from, surly deflation is more probable.
And won't most of the world pull together to save the USA's arse if things get too bad

Remember the Fed is buying treasuries to surpress interest rates. Rising rates will choke the economy. Rates can rise in a growing and stable economy but there is no sign of either happening here.

They will lose their butts. The US has no way of producing there way out. It would be like standing on the deck of the Titanic with a bucket and trying to bailout the water. The ship is going down and it will take US debt holders with it!

What happens to those holding 10 and 30 year bonds (I have a family member that is holding a lot of money in these)?

They will lose their butts. Check out my video on bonds and the economy. This will give you some idea of the impact that rising interest rates have on bonds.
