so the SEC isn’t protecting investors? what a surprise. and they expect the new JOBS bill to be the biggest source of fraud and other criminality ever created by Congress. not surprising it was likely written by wall street. and that we as a rule dont understand stock, bonds etc, isn’t really a surprise either. nor the scamming of the elderly. because its where the money (just like certain bank robbers of old said when asked why they robbed banks). and we really think that investing for the 99% is the way for retirement?
fraud? 5-6% of corporate of revenues????

Could it be that all these tools that foster social interaction via clicks – aren’t good for making money over the long term? And thus are not good investments? Search? Sure. Mobile devices? Sure. Friendy clicky things? Not sure.

kaminska QE is not money printing?
I side with Ray dalio on this, and practically everything else
i have realized the last three months the mans a genius
and stands above all others in finance
thanks again for sending his council on foreign relations interview
l read and reread over and over and marvel
in that interview more like a monologue he uses money printing generically
and specifically calls QE money printing
he does not draw a huge gap between whether they buy bonds with it
or not
in a deleverage “depression” also his terminology like we have now
some money printing is good
and a needed balance to the deleveraging growth negatives
Pete Townshend also did a segment on TheView right after Donald Trump this morning
http://abc.go.com/watch/the-view/SH559080/VD55237564/the-view-108
seems the segments have notch jumps from that 1 link .. goto 4th notch ie: 5th segment
it was an interesting discussion on how America and Great Britain came out of the War together via the music world … my take > the friendly competition to outdo each other .. ie: returns “for the queen to use” /or prove we got it going too
Technically, although Kaminska is right about the QE3 program not being money printing, that’s probably the only thing she got right in the article. Given that, I’d have to say her being right is more good luck than good understanding.
QE3 is not money printing in US dollars, but that doesn’t mean that the Fed is “sterilizing” it’s money creation. And it certainly doesn’t mean that this is going to end well for the Fed.
