Re: Coronavirus General Discussion
I didn't realize that Vancouver had become the Fourth Reich. Between your cell phone ticket and the $1000 above, it sounds like the Gestapo has taken over the metro police. Wtf? I KNOW. Holy s#$t. I'm just glad it wasn't me. A $1,000 ticket on top of what I'm already going through, and I don't know...

Re: Getting Into Linux
Just to summarize a multitude of posts from pre-Smith times: I tried Linux, but I'm not really smart enough to take advantage of it, even on a secondary computer. I started with system-on-a-stick and that Wubi website. Then, dual-boot with WinXP. Next, a $300 hp notebook that had Windows on it, whi...

From The Aleph Blog. Too Much Debt Posted on 24 March 2020 by David Merkel Photo Credit: Steve Rotman || As Simon and Garfunkel sang, “The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls…” Debt-based economies are unstable.

Re: Fed Going Nuclear - Will the PP get radiation poisoning?
And if the Treasury Department, at the time of settling up, were to simply say "Not this time. . ." Then what? I suspect that would just print more Federal Reserve Notes to cover their losses. Then without being tied to the Fed, they could print up all the money they wanted for themselves...

Re: Fed announcement
I agree we have Dollar Shortage issue, that the tail is waging the dog on this mess also. So when was the approval given for the FED to be the Central Bank of the World, granted they may be the de facto Central Bank? WE KEEP getting into these messes for a reason. If a Hedge Fund or Zombie Company ...

Re: Fed announcement
Do keep in mind that for the last few years the Fed has been holding interest rates UP not down. The market has been dragging them lower by relentlessly buying bonds. The Fed has followed the market begrudgingly, not the other way around. The Fed were the ones that wanted to bring rates back up to ...

Re: Fed announcement
Also, what happens when policy is too "tight", and the demand for dollars outstrips money supply? Debt has to increase to make up for the gap. Debt is money after all. The Fed buying the debt in the secondary markets now is essentially providing the dollars that were needed and not in exi...

Re: The Bond Dream Room
The Fed just announced unlimited bond buying for all types of bonds (including corporate). Bonds were going no-bid at times last week. This unprecedented move should grease the bond markets gears again and get things moving (not to mention get bond ETF's back to NAV). Bond markets were basically br...

There's another plan that would fix this issue in no time. 1. No federal guarantees for student loans 2. Allow student loans to be discharged in bankruptcy after a waiting period, say 7 years.

Ok, so this last couple weeks has been interesting. In some ways I've grown a greater respect for the PP/GB. In other ways, my skills in technical analysis could have allowed me to do better if I had some flexibility built into my rules. The damage is now done, but coming out of a bear market there...
