byhiselo Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 it's a little alarming to see the monetization done so plainly.....right in front of God & everybody. a sikh story that goes like: a holy many gives two men each a chicken and sez go kill them where no one can see the first guy goes into the forest and kills the chicken the other guy walks around for three days and comes back with the chicken the holy man asks you didn't kill the chicken? the guy sez everywhere i go, the chicken sees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrStool Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Not only is it not unusual,they've been doing it twice a week like clockwork every week since they announced the program in mid March. They even pre-announce the tentative schedule. There's no conspiracy and nothing hidden whatsoever. All this stuff about the Fed hiding what it's doing makes me laugh. They publish it on their damn website fergodsakes. If they wanted to hide it, well then... they'd hide it. Then these people have the gall to turn around and complain that you can't believe the data anyway. You gotta take these fearmongers for what they are. Anyway, I'm glad you asked. Bottom line, you have to be just as skeptical about bearish bloggers as you are about Cramer and the mainstream infomercial media. Remember, everyone is selling something. Even me. Be skeptical. Ask yourself what makes sense and what doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrStool Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Oh, and by the way, total Fed Credit was down again this week, and is now down $265 billion from the December high, and $205 billion from the secondary peak in April. So technically, Fisher is correct. If you consider the total size of the balance sheet, the Fed stopped monetizing in December. It's a technical point, but down is down. They haven't been buying enough crap to offset the declining level of alphabet soup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so bullish on the bounce potential as I was getting ready to be in June though. The dollar chart is really starting to look anemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
