Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said publicly what many of us were thinking: Ukraine can not win the war and the only way to stop senseless death and destruction is to work out a peace deal between the US and Russia. Will this happen any time soon? Are nations more concerned now over who wins and sending more money over preventing more slaughter? Within our borders, the Federal Reserve says inflation has been devastating to Americans to the point where they were worse off overall in 2022 than in the previous year (during the pandemic). As high inflation continues, Fed Chair Janet Yellen is warning the U.S. may run out of money if an agreement on the debt ceiling can not be reached. Dr. Jerome Corsi examines these issues and the ramifications on The Truth Central.Also, Norway has sent climate activists into a tizzy after advancing its oil drilling efforts.

This week's Alpha Trader podcast features hosts Aaron Task and Stephen Alpher talking with Jim Bianco, president of Bianco Research. It doesn't take too long of a memory to remember the days when then-Fed Chair Janet Yellen was none too pleased about President Trump sticking his nose into monetary policy. Now that Yellen has moved to the Executive Branch (as Treasury Secretary), why does she think it's okay to continue to opine on Jay Powell's business, asks Bianco. Of her latest comments about higher interest rates being a good thing for the economy, Bianco isn't so sure. It depends why they're rising, says Bianco. If it's due to wholesome growth, that's not so bad for the economy or stocks. But if due to bondholders demanding higher rates to compensate for higher inflation, the stock market might not react so nicely. Politics aside, current Street thinking says the Fed is going to use the Jackson Hole confab in late August to lay the groundwork for the taper to begin, with rate hikes to maybe start in the second half of 2022. Bianco questions that consensus. He's keeping his eye on the 10-year Treasury yield. If an inflation scare forces long rates higher, it could force the Fed's hand a lot sooner than that. Of his recent great interest in the promise of cryptocurrencies, Bianco takes us back to the days of Web 1.0 - peer-to-peer, decentralized. That was quickly supplanted by Web 2.0 - the rise of the great centralized platforms like Amazon, Facebook, Netflix, and Google. Web 3.0, says Bianco, will be a return to decentralization thanks to the power of blockchain technology. It's a fascinating discussion, with plenty more, including why Web 3.0 may not be kind to the above-mentioned (and other) mega-cap tech names, and why central bank digital currencies could be a major threat to the legacy commercial banking system.

What Central Bankers may do in the next financial collapse, if there is ever going to be one!

Welcome to Finance and Fury Today – going to cover the Central banking playbook in the next crisis – If there is ever going to be one! Today – was doing some reading so will have a look at some comments from key central banking figures over the past few years – and look at the market implications – as either markets will crash at some point and central banks will conduct bail-ins and also buy up shares – or they will actively try to avoid a crash by a BOJ strategy – constantly buying shares and offering incentives (continued low-interest rates) for investors to continue investing To start with - Back in June 2017 - several key officials provided some bizarre honesty in their statements – all of this occurred from individuals under Janet Yellen's Federal reserve – Now the Fed Chair is Jerome Powell – appointed by Trump – but the playbook likely hasn’t changed – Let's have a look though at the statements from back in 2017 – rare to get anything from Fed officials for the market implications of their comments - First - San Fran Fed president John Williams – now become the Fed's #2 as he took over as head of the NY Fed in 2019 (major Fed Branch) – he said "there seems to be a priced-to-perfection attitude out there” and that the stock market rally "still seems to be running very much on fumes." He also added that "we are seeing some reach for yield, and some, maybe, excess risk-taking in the financial system with very low rates. As we move interest rates back to more normal, I think that that will, people will pull back on that." But what happened when they announced an increase of rates back in Mid-2018 – markets dropped by more than 10% over a few months until they cancelled the plans of increases Next – has the then-Fed Vice Chairman Stan Fischer – echoed John Williams' statements - that "the increase in prices of risky assets in most asset markets over the past six months points to a notable uptick in risk appetites” all thanks to the lower interest rate environments creating people chasing yields – All of this occurring when the measures of earnings strength – like the return on assets, continued to approach pre-GFC crisis levels at most banks But given the interest rates were a lot lower - the return on assets should have been expected to have declined relative to their pre-crisis levels--and that fact is also a cause for concern." Fischer then also said that the corporate sector is "notably leveraged", that it would be foolish to think that all risks have been eliminated, and called for "close monitoring" of rising risk appetites. Essentially – what was covered in the corporate debt episode – as listed companies have taken on massive levels of debts and if rates were to normalise – their earnings would be destroyed by the interest repayments Lastly - you have the lady herself – the then-Fed Chair Janet Yellen – she said that some asset prices had become “somewhat rich" although, like Fischer, she wanted to assure the public that share and bond prices are fine – but what she left out was that they are fine as long as you assume that we will be in a record low-interest rate environment in perpetuity – as her next statement points out - “Asset valuations are somewhat rich if you use some traditional metrics like price-earnings ratios, but I wouldn’t try to comment on appropriate valuations, and those ratios ought to depend on long-term interest rates." So as long as interest rates don’t go up – the PE ratios of some of the largest companies in the US at 100 times is fine – given a lot of their growth of price is backed off debt and buy backs Quick reminder - back in 2017 at the time of these statements - the S&P500 was trading at "only" 2,400 – back when the Fed was only starting to consider a hike in interest rates and QE4 was more than two years away – thanks to not raising rates and the implementation of QE4 – S&P500 now at 3,386 – all time highs – Digging a little deeper – one of the more interesting things that Yellen said was in response to a question on financial system stability - Yellen said that the implementation of the post-crisis regulations had made financial institutions much "safer and sounder", and as a result she went on to predict that there would never again be a financial crisis "in our lifetimes" – her actual statement was - "Will I say there will never, ever be another financial crisis? No, probably that would be going too far. But I do think we’re much safer and I hope that it will not be in our lifetimes and I don’t believe it will." First – she was 71 at the time – so maybe she was expecting an early grave - While some were quick to compare this statement by Yellen (who then was 70--years old) to Neville Chamberlain infamous - and very, very wrong - 1938 prediction of "peace in our time", perhaps she was hiding a trump card all along... A trump card which she revealed only now, almost three years later. But what I find more interesting is that someone in her position may just be saying this to help provide confidence to the market – however – the fact she refers to legislation changes – such as the SIB and SIFI regulations and controls over the market which could ban trading and shut down markets during times of crashes – seems like she knows more to the story Which makes me think that she meant something else – such as when looking at the transcripts when she was speaking via a video conference with bankers in Kansas City - Yellen said that the Fed would take a page out of the SNB's (Swiss national bank) and BOJ's (Bank of Japan) playbook - and "might be able to help the U.S. economy in a future downturn if it could buy stocks and corporate bonds." Of course – she didn’t mean the whole "US economy" – for instance, every worker and person who pays tax – but those who own the most amount of these assets – the Fed and other financial institutions/investment managers and their political cronies. This being said – on the public surface - Yellen was quick to walk back this "hypothetical" scenario, saying that "the issue was not a pressing one right now" and pointed out the U.S. central bank is currently barred by law from buying corporate assets – but the laws can change The idea was already "incepted" in the heads of America's political rulers (whose fate is just as tied to the performance of the stock market) and the law can be changed literally overnight. Similar to SSC – politicians have a lot of money in markets – and rely on the markets as a sign of economic health – even though it is not – look at Bloomberg – 9th richest man on earth running for President – has a lot of wealth in markets And after all, it is only a matter of time before a crisis does hit, and now Yellen has explained has to happen to avoid an all out social catastrophe in a country where financial assets account for nearly 6x of GDP – all time high compared to average pre-90s of 3 times GDP To validate her point, Yellen said that the Fed’s current toolkit might be insufficient in a downturn if it were to “reach the limits in terms of purchasing safe assets like longer-term government bonds." "It could be useful to be able to intervene directly in assets where the prices have a more direct link to spending decisions,” – referring to the wealth effect – where economists and central bankers still rely on this as a basis to help boost GDP growth by getting people to spend more – Regardless – Yellen said that the Fed buying equities and corporate bonds could have costs and benefits... But mostly benefits, if only for the Fed, and those in the know – who would get very rich. Keep in mind that what Yellen said was merely a paraphrase of Ben Bernanke's famous April 2010 Washing Post oped in which he defended his use of easy monetary policy in facilitating higher stock prices – again, the idea is to boost asset prices to – quoting from Bernanke here - "to boost consumer wealth and help increase confidence, which can also spur spending. Increased spending will lead to higher incomes and profits that, in a virtuous circle, will further support economic expansion." None of these policies are really true or "trickle-down" economics - which isn’t a thing – it is a design – central planning similar to communist countries – in China – all the building of ghost cities using tax payers funds goes to the Communist party members who own the construction companies – and in the US and Western societies – this wealth goes to those who own the assets that own the shares and bonds – in US society – top 10% of people who own 93% of all equities – again a choice to participate – but those who did own shares have gotten great returns – I am technically one But these haven’t been real returns – and doesn’t provide a free market – supply side economic gain for all - Bottom of Form – as the bottom 90% of the population who own virtually no stocks and owe most of the debt, got very, very angry as they watched how the Fed plundered their future and hopes to become wealthy, and resulted first in the election of Trump, and the upcoming election of a socialist candidate as America goes full-on populist in response to the Fed's catastrophic policies. However, thanks to Yellen we now know that the Fed won't go down without a fight... or at least without monetising everything – whilst Yellen is no longer the chair of the Fed – just last month she told a conference the Fed would fight a future recession by buying government debt and jawboning interest rates lower But she did add that other tools will be necessary - including expanding the range of assets it would purchase – i.e. shares Painting a picture that before the current fiat regime of central banks finally ends and before stocks go limits up as the revolution starts, the Fed will order a Permanent open market operations (or POMO) of, well, everything in one final, last-ditch effort to keep social stability by creating the impression that stocks are stable and rising even as society implodes Genius strategy – expand the fiat system massively to buy real assets – like shares and bonds – then switch monetary bases once the value of fiat goes to almost nothing Begs the question - Will it be successful? Normally – long term I would say that it won’t be = but when we consider that that's precisely what has been happening for the past decade - have to think really hard just how much further the Fed can keep kicking the can before it all comes crashing down – it will likely continue to keep markets high until they decide to cease the expanded operations in the markets   But the Next Level – this is what is an additional concern  What happens when the central banks own most of the shares in companies? Say they do buy up a majority of corporates and have an influence on these companies Central banks are pushing for climate change reforms – getting involved where they don’t belong – Every central bank is now on the same page – repeating the same UN talking points But as a shareholder – you get voting rights – so Fed could gain access to control of the “private” (use the term loosely) markets – beyond the control over Governments and their debt they currently have Central banks like the SNB and BOJ already own a large chunk of their share markets – question is – do they get voting rights and how would they use them? Control the board and decisions of a company So under this system – Zombie companies will reign supreme – Those that the Central banks own can technically be propped up regardless of the money they continue to lose – Banks would become more involved to help their balance sheet grow - Therefore, there would be no free market of companies rising and falling based around their performance – The injections of printed money will save them from their declines in prices – so, whilst their performances suffer and they lose money – their prices will continue to rise -   Summary  With Central banking intervention into markets – they can keep coming up with schemes – SSC and Blunt – keep coming up with something for prices to go up – but inevitably – the complex system of markets beats out = the markets can correct and have done so. All comes down to Central banking hubris – that they think they are supreme and solve every economic problem – A long way from their early charters of being the bank of last resort – just to provide liquidity to commercial banks in the event of bank runs – now they can control markets and the very cost of money.

The Federal Reserve has the stock market’s back, right? That’s what a lot of investors have come to believe. The so-called “Yellen put” (after former Fed Chair Janet Yellen) has rolled over into the “Powell put” (after current Fed Chair Jerome Powell) in trader parlance that likens central bank policy to options contracts protecting against losses in equities. But what if the Powell put doesn’t do the trick this time, and economic data and corporate earnings continue to deteriorate despite interest rate cuts?

The Federal Reserve just announced a move that will have a big impact on both home buyers and sellers. At the latest Fed meeting on September 20th, Fed Chair Janet Yellen announced that the Fed would start to cut back its balance sheet. While that might sound boring compared to the usual announcements of Fed rate hikes, it’s actually a very big deal. You see, when the financial crisis hit 10 years ago, the Fed needed to take emergency measures, so it injected a huge amount of money into the economy. The Fed did this by buying up various financial assets totaling $3.5 trillion, an enormous sum that made up almost 25% of the entire U.S. economy at the time. This money helped stabilize various markets and get the economy back on track. However, the Fed is confident that the economy is now doing well enough for it to slowly start taking some of that money back. And that’s exactly what this announcement was all about. As you can imagine, this is going to have a massive impact throughout the economy, including on real estate. According to experts, it will inevitably put upward pressure on consumer borrowing costs, such as mortgage rates, which have stayed fairly low in spite of the Fed’s actions so far. In other words, if you are thinking of buying a home, the Fed’s most recent move will eventually make it more expensive for you to do so because you will be paying more in interest. If you are looking to sell your home, this might mean there will be fewer interested buyers, which might drive prices down and might make it harder to sell. Now, this won’t happen immediately, because the Fed’s balance sheet rollback will be gradual. As a matter of fact, the Fed is only reducing its balance sheet by a mere $10 billion a month to start with—just a drop compared to the $4.5 trillion total. But make no mistake, while the Fed’s moves will take time to bear fruit, they will drive up interest rates, particularly as the Fed ramps this process up in the coming months. “If you’re thinking of entering the real estate market, now’s the time to do so.” That’s why if you’ve been thinking of getting into the real estate market, now is such a crucial time. If you have any questions, whether about buying or selling your home, or about the details of the Fed’s announcement and what they mean for you, give me a call. I’m here to help.

From the mouth of Fed Chair Janet Yellen, "I don't believe we will see another financial crisis in our lifetime." I had to reread the quote three times. From there my mind began to race working all the angles. Why would she say that? What political or economic gain could come from such a ridiculous statement. I am at a loss which leaves me with only one answer. Yellen is drinking her own Kool-Aid and actually believes she can control the market. It's nonsense of course. Attempts to control the market always fail. But that doesn't stop each generation of control freaks from giving it the old college try. It's a mad, mad world. Jason Support the show.

The Dow Jones Industrial average kicked off the week closing at an all-time high for the 12th consecutive day on Monday, while the S+P 500 hit a new record level. The NASDAQ also eked out a gain. In housing news, pending home sales dipped in January, decreasing by 2.8% versus expectations for sales to rise by 1.1%. The major indices closed in the red zone on Tuesday, ahead of President Donald Trump's congressional address. Gross Domestic Product numbers were shy of expectations, as a second estimate of U.S. economic growth showed fourth-quarter GDP held steady at 1.9%, versus expectations of a 2.1% expansion. Additionally, consumer sentiment ramped up to a 15-year high in February, according to data from the Conference Board. Sentiment increased to 114.8, up from a reading of 111.6 in January. The market was back to record levels on Wednesday with Basic Materials and Financial stocks leading the upswing. In his address on Tuesday night, President Trump promised "massive" tax cuts for the middle class and U.S. companies as well as $1 trillion in infrastructure investment. Meanwhile, the ISM Manufacturing Index rose to 57.7 versus an expected reading of 56.3. The following day, the Dow declined from record-level territory while the S+P 500 and NASDAQ also traded lower with Basic Materials and Financial stocks leading the downswing. Friday’s results were mostly flat, but the Dow still closed the week over 21,000. Bond yields soared late week, possibly in response to Fed Chair Janet Yellen's indication that interest rates are likely to rise when the Committee meets later this month.

I remember several years ago in the Land of the Free when the big wave in the banking industry was to offer “free checking”. There used to be a time (that a lot of people probably don't remember) when banks charged monthly or annual fees to maintain your bank account. This changed several years ago. Banks even started running commercials encouraging customers to open their “free checking” accounts right away. Of course this is total nonsense. Banks aren't exactly charitable organizations, and they have an uninterrupted track record of screwing their customers to make money. In this case, “free checking” is just a ruse to get you to open an account so that they can make stupid investments with your money. Banks in Europe, for example, are taking your money and buying government bonds that have negative yields and are hence guaranteed to lose money. That's what they're doing with your savings. It's insane. In the Land of the Free, banks are once again stocking up on mortgage-backed securities as the most popular investment fad today, as if they have no memory of the 2008 financial crisis. There's even one bank in San Francisco that's offering $2 million loans with no money down, and no private mortgage insurance, to buy real estate in one of the most overpriced areas of the country. This isn't “free checking”. It'd be more appropriate if they called it “high-risk checking”. And the trend shows that it's getting worse. On top of everything else now, slowing economy growth almost assures that negative interest rates will be the norm across the entire developed world. They already have negative interest rates in Europe and Japan. And as Fed Chair Janet Yellen indicated recently, this is an option that's on the table even in the United States. This kind of insanity has serious consequences to the entire financial system, putting your money at even greater risk. You'll never hear it from the financial elite. Your banker is never going to say, “open a high-risk checking account today!” But by holding your money in such a precarious system, that is precisely what you are doing. This is our topic for today's podcast: the trend towards “high-risk checking”, and why negative interest rates and capital controls are an almost forgone conclusion. You can listen in here.

Housing and consumer finance expert Dean Wegner from Academy Mortgage in Scottsdale, Arizona expects to see a push of people buying homes in the coming months. Since rates hit rock-bottom in 2009, it's been a bit of a guessing game as to when the Fed would raise rates.  With unemployment holding steady at 5%, analysts say the door opened wide for Fed Chair Janet Yellen to make a long anticipated move. Who will this hurt the most?  According to Wegner, homeowners who have second mortgages are sure to feel the pinch.  He says it will also be felt in terms of auto loans and credit card rates. Still he believes the housing market will remain strong.  “Right now the home ownership rate in America is 63% and that is the lowest since 1967.  So that means there is a lot of room for growth.” In 2015, the average home value went up 6 ½ % Wegner says.  As home values hold, he believes people will continue to try to get in. “Boomerang buyers are coming out in full force,” Wegner says referring to buyers who had a catastrophic credit event in their past and are now looking to get back in the housing game. “These are people who got the recession behind them, they've dusted themselves off and they want to re enter the housing market.  They know it's a good deal and rates are still good.” There are also a lot of incentive programs available to would-be buyers. “Programs expand the buyer pool.  You want to increase housing, you allow more people to buy homes,” Wegner says. On December 12th Fannie May released a new program called the Home Ready.  It focuses on “creditworthy, low-to-moderate-income borrowers” with expanded eligibility and focus on financing homes in “designated low-income, minority, and disaster-impacted communities.” Is owning a home still the American Dream?  Wegner says he isn't so sure.  But for those who have a steady job and paycheck, he says, buying a house is the best financial move you can make. “Take control of your life and make solid decisions,” Wegner says.  “I can tell you 10 bad stories but I can also tell you 100 great stories.” The post Is Owning A Home Still The American Dream? appeared first on Inspired Media 360 TV - Inform | Inspire | Engage.
