That’s all right. I wrote Fed but it should have said Treasury. I corrected that above.

Doh, never mind, I misread “CMB” as “MBS”.

“The Fed will do that by selling $25 billion per week in 56 day CMBs.”

LOL! To whom?!

Comment on Con Con Surprise, No Surprise by Lee Adler

Where can you borrow at low interest? Only the banks and corporations who can access the commercial paper market can borrow at low interest. Everyone else pays a usury rate. Even mortgage loans aren’t cheap. 5% is a usurious rate when the value of the underlying asset is wasting or stable. No one can earn 5% on their money in savings. So instead of borrowing, people pay off their debts. That’s why loan demand is crashing and we are in a deflationary spiral.

“It is only rational under the circumstances to pay down debt–to disinvest”

Actually, in low interest environment it pays to borrow provided the banks will lend you of course. But banks do the obvious: They buy treasuries from the same crooks who print the money and give it to them since lending to you or me they may never see their money again, he-he.

Actually, I’d say the drop in the ConCon # was substantially larger than the relatively modest 2-3 week drop in stocks could explain.
So, I guess I agree with you, except even moreso, but in a somewhat different manner. More or less.

Anyone who has invested in long term (> 3 year) bonds in the past year and a half is a fool. High inflation is nearly a given and when it starts, you’re going to get hit very badly.

Comment on Screw You, New York Times by Lee Adler

Shortly after I posted this, Business Insider reported that the Timez fired the reporter. The reason given was that the Wall Street Whorenal had complained to the Timez that the reporter had plagiarized a Whorenal article. No mention was made of the plagiarism of our favorite bloggers.

Rupert Murdoch complaining to the Timez is like the proverbial pot calling the kettle black. But Murdoch is big and powerful and can make trouble for the Timez. The Timez can afford to ignore bloggers.

Boycott the NY Timez!!

The Times has been nothing but an arm of the Propaganda Machine for so long now that I’m sure they’ve forgotten how to do basic newspaper-related things like *their own friggin research*, and crediting a source.
