As the market panic demonstrates, central banks are stuck on a treadmill of money printing Oh what a tangled web central bankers weave when they practice to deceive… Last night’s panic in Tokyo, where the Nikkei dropped a stomach churning 7 per cent, demonstrates just how difficult it’s going to be for the world’s central banks to exit their loose money policies.

Japan’s Nikkei, after rallying over 70% since November, just collapsed 11% in less than two days. Looking at the chart, it’s pretty clear where this thing is heading: the same as the NASDAQ in 2000. This is the problem with economic policy that focuses on pushing stocks higher: eventually the collapsing economy comes home to roost and stocks implode. We saw this in 2000 and 2008. We’re currently [...] Jim Rickerts View. Stock market returns are high because of buy-backs. The shares are retired, the company does not have to pay out dividends and the yield goes up.

The problem with trying to solve all our structural problems by injecting “free money” liquidity into financial Elites is that all the money sloshing around seeks a high-yield home, and in doing so it inflates bubbles that inevitably pop with devastating consequences.

The BoJ only has JPY10 trillion cushion (after the JPY60 trillion deficit) to soak up this ‘rational investor paradox’ selling and this [...] The best kept secrets of the Dollar.

Standby for a Paul Krugman [...] by J. D. Heyes, Natural News: The financial institution that came to epitomize the “too big to fail” concept should have been left to its own economic destruction during the days of the Great Recession it helped to cause back in 2008-09, because had it been allowed to go under, its criminal behavior would have ended then. But as it was, the taxpayer bailout of the financial giant JPMorgan did not “teach” it’s [...] From Financial Highway: Ever since I got new place and did an inventory of my necessities and niceties, I figured out I was overspending at my old pad.

Let’s call it competitive ultra-easing.” The Federal Reserve has famously been keeping rates low since the financial crisis.
