There were new all-time highs on the Dow and S&P 500 this week.  Of course, the mainstream media didn’t mention a word about how the Fed’s “open-ended” $85 billion a month bond buying program helped push the stock market to new highs.  Maybe that’s why even some of the folks on CNBC called the market “creepy.”    (more…)

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com  New highs day after day on the Dow!!  The economy is fixed, right?  Wrong!!  I have been watching a lot of the business and mainstream media channels, and there is hardly a mention of the $85 billion a month the Fed is printing out of thin air to buy sour mortgage debt from the big banks and Treasury bonds from the U.S. government.  (more…)

Gold expert James Turk says, “Mr. Bernanke is so anti-deflation he’s willing to risk hyperinflation, and we are on this path of hyperinflation given the policies we are following.”  Turk contends gold is a good value right now.  Turk says, “Because it is money outside the banking system, it doesn’t have any counterparty risk, and that is very important as this crisis continues to unfold.”   Turk predicts, “Either we cut back on spending or the dollar is going to collapse. . . . Those are the two choices.”    (more…)

Everybody is talking about the cuts in government spending with the $85 billion in forced spending cuts in military and social programs.  $85 billion amounts to little more than a 2% cut in $3.8 trillion (or $3,800 billion) in federal spending per year.  Didn’t most working Americans just suffer a 2% pay cut with the expiration of the Social Security tax holiday?  (more…)

Real Estate investor Fabian Calvo says, “Trust me; there are enough troubled assets for the Fed to be buying much more than $40 billion a month. . .  It’s all about manipulation.”  Calvo says, “In essence, they are creating another bubble.  (more…)

To say the drama and panic being put out by the mainstream media (MSM) is unfounded hype is a gross understatement. The budget cuts known as “sequestration” will force mandatory cuts to military and social programs. These cuts are really pretty minor when you look at the more than $3.6 trillion in spending for the U.S. Yes, there will be some pain. Budget cuts are supposed to be painful, but to position this as an end of the world scenario is simply spin, poor reporting and fact checking by the MSM. (more…)

Analyst/trader Karl Denninger thinks the Federal Reserve’s $3 trillion balance sheet could blow up the economy.  The Fed is adding $85 billion to it every month!  Denninger says, “The larger the balance sheet gets, the more powder Bernanke is piling into the brick house.  So, instead of a firecracker, he’s got a great big bomb in there now.”  (more…)
