The Fed gives up, so now what? (2015, debt, money)

[jimhcom]

The Feds battle to stop the deflationary forces in the economy have been impotent at best while succeeding to blow more bubbles in speculative markets.

It is now apparent that the reckoning in valuations must now take place as some here have been saying for years.

The only question is will the central bankers accept the inevitable, or will they try once again to postpone what will happen eventually despite their tricks and deceptions.

My guess is that depends on whether they and their members are in position to capitalize on the coming deflation.

The CPI that is usually quoted includes volatile fuel, energy, and food prices which throw off the analysis. The way around this problem is to look at CORE CPI.

The Fed has done a nice job managing monetary policy since the Great Recession of '08, in my estimation.

Aunt Janet and the boys will likely continue their fine work into the new year.

At this point, 2015 is looking like another strong year for the U.S. stock market.

And ya gotta love that, Jimbo...

I don't see deflation when I go to the grocery store.

i just saw .99 cent grapes . i have seen them as high as 5 bucks because of weather.


lots of things have gone done since food is more about the weather,strikes ,supply and demand and non money supply related issues...

inflation is weighted in the cpi with areas you spend the most bucks counted heavier than areas we spend the least.

housing and energy consume the biggest share of the median income .

while your area may have seen rents rise many areas are still less than they were 5 years ago.

energy costs are the lowest in 5 years.


the typical american family spends more on debt service than food and no question rates are down on just about everything.

The FED hasn't given up.

Fear of deflation is only in your head.

CPI numbers generated by the government are done so with a political spin and not exactly reflective of what people actually see in their real life.

Really? are you a stock broker, or just someone that doesn't see that headlight coming down the tracks.
