The shape of recent economic data trends reminds me of a story. It’s a story that shows just how the Fed’s manipulation drives both the stock market and the conomy. It’s also a story of the twisted personalities behind the facades of institutional power. This is not something that you will read in the mainstream…

by Lee Adler • • 0 Comments
The cash generated by the ECB’s second big LTRO operation hit the US banking system last week.

US banking system measures continued to rise over the last 2 weeks, driving the composite macroliquidity picture to a new high.
