It's coming isn't it?

Could be more deposits taken in or fewer loans issued. March/ April includes tax refund time for many people.

The Fed offering higher rates means they want banks to hold onto more reserves.

Were you aware of that IOER increase? Seems it went mostly unreported?

I hadn't noticed until you pointed it out. Thought it was still 0.25%. Thanks for that!

So, the 5-year is at like 1.8%. As of March 2017 the Fed is paying 1% on IOER.

I would presume, that 1.8 represents a pretty hard upper bound for how high Yellen can take the IOER before things go tits up.

I have no doubt they will keep it going after even another round or three hard recessions, the market still responds to their lies and manipulation. I should have clarified I'm not talking about the "end", I'm talking about the next correction.

I think Zimbabwe dollars are a good investment. A couple years ago you could buy them for a couple dollars. Now they're like $50. I think they are going to appreciate in value even more over the next 2 years.

Its a good investment. Good place to park your USD

Well there's your problem. The President of the country is a pile of stones.

Our President is at least 35% more competent.

$800 trillion already removed between August 2014 and January 2017- almost a quarter of it. Has that significantly impacted inflation?

Let's ask the new graduates who can't afford a home or a family. Or their parents, who are paying off if they are able to, college loans; otherwise poor grade is now a lifetime indebted servant. Need a medical procedure, I heard first borns are going for 1/4 million in certain parts.

What a dishonest stupid statement. C'mon Zippy, you can do better, or is this some newbie replacement.

Depends on how quickly those funds are taken out. Slowly over a long period of time? Should have no impact on inflation. Withdrawn quickly over say a few weeks? That would be much more inflationary. It will depend on the demands of borrowers. If the economy is growing quickly there may be a bigger demand for loans to expand businesses and that could draw things down a bit faster. If the economy is stagnant, business and individuals won't be needing to borrow large amounts of money and it will stay at the banks.

So businesses can not expand without loans?

It's only logical these things will happen with increasing frequency as we continue accelerating down the wrong course.
Where do you think the biggest shake out will occur? Which markets will be hit hardest? Where's the biggest bubble?

I thought the debt ceiling activation in March and budget resolution last week might trigger the next recession/market crash, but nothing happened. We can't borrow and we're running on emergency spending so the next trigger might be when we run out of money around September and they have to re-suspend the debt ceiling.

 

[The Gold Standard]

Nothing will happen before a tax cut gets passed. The Fed will do whatever it has to do to postpone the next recession until after some "conservative" economic policies become law.

This is how I got to my first 500 million .
