Interest rates plummet – licking my wounds….

[quote=threadkiller]Money Jan/Feb isue has some interesting stuff for the lay investor. It explains that the government isn’t really printing money but giving banks credit on their credit sheets for reserves. Now as long as the banks don’t loan out on this “cash reserve” then we don’t seem to see the inflation. Once the banks feel confident we are on track towards recovery then they will loan and we will have inflation. Until then BAU.[/quote]

There is no demand for the money because the public is saturated with debt. This does free up extra cash for banks to speculate on, though. Hence, the commodity bubble.

So basically, the people are broke and debt encumbered while the banks are running up necessities in gambling schemes. lol

The money does get printed, sorta. Not literally printed, but the money is created and credited to the banks’ accounts.

Paul Krugman has been writing about his. Money stays sequestered at the top of the financial pyramid and not making down to the people.

[quote=HiggyBaby]I was girding my loins for a steady upward march towards 1970/1980’s era interest rates. The market can remain irrational longer than we can remain logical….[/quote]

I don’t think the market is irrational but this site hosts so many crazy inflationists. With the burst of the biggest asset bubble in history, I remain a deflationist. I don’t think the recent run-up of inflation is the result of FED’s cheap money. Rather it is supply issue in the commodity and agriculture segment.

I have seen people saying that 3 metals are barometers for the market:
gold for deflation
silver for inflation
copper for economic bull

Gold outperforms the other two signals deflation pressure, silver outperforms the other two signals inflation pressure, copper outperforms the other two signals bull market.
With gold leading the way, copper has been terrible since Feb, and recent smack down of silver, deflation and a major market downturn are written on the wall.

But obviously, you guys are too obsessed with your anger for the FED to notice that. I think FED is the only rational central bank at the moment to keep its focus on fighting the deflation.
