September 27, 2007 well, "Helicopter Ben" Bernanke would seem to be making progress on earning the title his Harvard, MIT, and Princeton credentials were substantiated in 2002 when he explained how a fiat currency based government can spend its way out of trouble by dropping money out of helicopters stated more academically: "inflation erodes the real value of the government's debt" last week FED Chair Bernanke slashed interest rates twice as much as reasonable followers had expected; putting an end to the predictable reputation which had been built up Gecko's view of history of such actions seems to predict an immediate upswing in the markets upon the news, followed by a sobering market downturn over the next year or so FED rate cuts are official recognition of economic recession, however at first glance it appears to be a saviour of the housing market problems (see the Gecko's previous liquidity video) however in the longer term: recession tends to erode international confidence in the American economy research of foreign exchanges might indicate the U.S. dollar being devalued relative to foreign currencies oil, which is priced in U.S. dollars, rises in price well, dropping money out of helicopters might indeed tend to erode the U.S. debt obligations remember though, that effect is spelled "inflation" |

September 4, 2007 its "after Labor Day" quite a few of the migratories of Wall Street have headed back west, well, those pertaining to the theme of this website migrate as far west as back to Wall Street; my understanding is that some non-marketeers actually migrate south to Palm Beach for the winter well anyway, question: what redlines at 7750 rpm? and the car is quite hot also aah come-on, I was referring to the computer ... in the words of the great philosphers T-Rex: "she got a hubcap diamond star halo" a new Suzi Quant brief vacation animation has been posted: Suzi Quant's Vacation 2007 animation |
