Art Cashin – Fed’s Plan To Use Stocks To Boost U.S. Economy Has Failed
Today one of the legends in the business
explains why the Fed’s plan to use the stock market to boost the
U.S.economy has failed. 50-year veteran Art Cashin, who is
Director of Floor Operations at UBS ($650 billion under management),
also included a guest commentary discussing the Fed’s failure.
April
23 (King
World News) – “On this day in 1985, one of the savviest
marketing teams at one of the savviest marketing companies in history
stunned the world with a product announcement. They proclaimed
that they were phasing out their main product and replacing it with a
new improved version. Pretty tame stuff for most products.
Billionaire
Warns: Yellen Collapse ‘Will Be Unlike Any Other’
Another horrific stock market crash is coming,
and the next bust will be “unlike any other” we have seen.
That’s the message from Jeremy Grantham,
co-founder and chief investment strategist of GMO, a Boston-based
firm with $117 billion in assets under management.
Grantham pulls no punches when he discusses who
he holds responsible for the coming financial carnage. In a recent
interview with The New York Times, he calls Federal Reserve Chair
Janet Yellen “ignorant” and said the Federal Reserve all but
killed the economic recovery.
He also says that he isn’t putting his
clients’ money into the market right now.
“We invest our clients’ money based on our
seven-year prediction. And over the next seven years, we think the
market will have negative returns. The next bust will be unlike any
other, because the Fed and other central banks around the world have
taken on all this leverage that was out there and put it on their
balance sheets. We have never had this before.”
Turk – Western Central Banks To Run Out Of
Gold This Year
Turk: “What’s
going on in the gold market is just unbelievable, Eric. It’s really
never happened before. We’ve had this prolonged backwardation
starting in the middle of last year when the lows in gold and silver
were reached….
The
United States Debt Meltdown, And The Coming Dollar Collapse
The United States government and the Federal
Reserve must keep interest rates near zero – because if they don’t,
there will be great difficulty in paying the interest on the debt
they’ve accumulated, which could bring it all (the economy and our
way of life) crashing down.
There’s one problem though. The only way the
United States can maintain their zero interest rate policies is for
the world to continue accepting the dollar as the world’s reserve
currency. The thing is – they’re not, and plans are nearly
implemented to circumvent the United States dollar for major
countries such as Russia and China (and others).
The
carrot and the stick approach (by the United States) isn’t working
so well anymore. The carrot (the strength of the dollar) is becoming
increasingly rotten and the stick (the willingness to use the
military) has weakened considerably as Americans have grown war
weary.
