TPS Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 When bonds start falling from 300 year highs you will see Bernanke's stimulus attempts fail. 2 Factors will crush Bernanke; private sector debt & rising interest rates caused by bond defaults. It's the private sector debt consolidation that has caused this mess, and it what he's been fighting since 2008. You have friends here????

Magox Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I remember when Munson said it was a good idea to short gold five years ago and then repeated it again 3 years ago. He knows what he's talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get the time, look into SEMGROUP I referenced this occurrence the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think I needed to put it in quotes to indicate the sarcasm.... I agree on the front of the private sector debt is the problem. Some 38 to 42 trillion private sector debt crunching down to a likely fall to 20 trillion. We can't have sustainable growth with that much private sector debt. Bernake has FAILED because he's given the banks money at nearly zero percent interest to prop them up as the private sector delever's this debt. If Bernake understood economics he would have let the banks fail, then the debts would have been annulled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just what is your expertise in economics? Is it as extensive as your expertise in the mortgage and real estate field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keukasmallies Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 So I'm thinkin', with things looking pretty good, now is the time to fine tune some of the entitlement programs--snip some here, change some there, decrease this budget, increase that one. Just might not need to raise revenues through tax rate changes; let the "pretty good" that's happening right now feed more revenues into the federal coffers automatically, eh?
