A little bit of Friday fun for you…pull up a chair, grab some popcorn, and enjoy Ben Bernanke’s Greatest Hits!
Ben Bernanke was right – if you put your mind to it, and print enough money, you CAN prevent deflation. New CPI numbers show that the core CPI (excluding food and energy, which nobody really uses anymore) actually jumped 0.3% last month, their largest increase since June 2008. About 40% of that increase came from tobacco […]
Andy Kessler, famed hedge fund manager, investor, author, and one of my favorite guys to listen to live, writes that Ben Bernanke needs to spell out very soon how he plans to combat hyperinflation. With all the extra money being created (printed, via “quantitative easing”) shloshing around, Kessler believes, as we do, that this could […]
Courtesy of YouTube: Columbia Business School’s Dean Glenn Hubbard sings about wanting Alan Greenspan’s job that went instead to New Fed Chair Ben Bernanke. Parody created by Columbia Business School students. Hope you enjoy – I found this hysterical!
On Wednesday I came across this fascinating analysis about the debt spiral the US now finds itself in, written by Professor Antal E. Fekete at the San Francisco School of Economics. I asked Prof. Fekete permission to republish his article here, and he was kind enough to grant my request. Hope you enjoy this piece. […]

Where will the Fed get that money? It will essentially create it out of thin air – also known as “printing money.” Surprisingly, […]
He asks Bernanke at the end, and he skirts the gold standard question. Just got done reading the latest Casey Report, which has an interview with Ron Paul. He recites a story about Paul Volcker, who in the early 80’s, came into a room 1st thing one morning and immediately asked one of his staffers: […]
Everbank’s Chris Gaffney comments that the Fed is now out of ammo and into uncharted territory, trying to employ untested methods which are likely to lead to higher inflation. So Chairman Bernanke has used up all of his remaining ammunition for the main weapon against the economic crisis, and now has to move to other […]
A short Jim Rogers interview on Bloomberg – I believe from December 11, 2008. He says he has covered his short position in US Treasuries for the time being, because the trade was going against him. He’s waiting to short them again, and describes US Treasuries as “the last bubble left.” Other thoughts from Jim: […]
