Jim Bianco: Fed Policy Is Really Just Counterfeiting

February 21 — The Federal Reserve has purchased $2.3 trillion in assets from banks to flood the economy with liquidity and drive down interest rates in order to stimulate the pace of economic recovery.

Under such policy, known as quantitative easing, the Fed goes in and buys assets like Treasury instruments or mortgage-backed securities from the banks, crediting those banks' reserve accounts with the funds, in what critics says is basically money printing. Read more.

David Walker: US Will Look Like Greece in 2 Years

February 21 — In two years, the U.S. economy will resemble that of Greece when the debt crisis began there, says David M. Walker, former U.S. Comptroller General and current CEO of the Comeback America Initiative.

The United States has never carried so much debt as it does today ever save during World War II, when such hefty borrowing and spending was needed to halt a devastatingly widespread war. Read more.

Neil Hennessy: US on Brink of Double Recovery

February 21 — The United States is on the brink of a “double recovery,” driven first by consumer and corporate retrenchment and likely to be extended by renewed investor confidence, according to Neil Hennessy, CIO and portfolio manager of Hennessy Funds.

“I am not an analyst or an economist, I am an economic realist. Using common sense as my guide I continue to see signs of recovery,” Hennessy writes in a recent market commentary. Read more.

Roubini: Plenty of Reasons to Doubt the Stock Rally

February 20 — Has the recent rise in the market got you worried? It should, says Nouriel Roubini, chairman of Roubini Global Economics and a professor of economics at the Stern School of Business in New York. 

There are plenty of reasons to doubt the recent rally in the stock market, he says in an online column.  Roubini is celebrated for his anticipation of the U.S. housing crisis and the ensuing credit crisis and is often called “Dr. Doom” by the press. His latest warning isn't quite as drastic, but he does point out that major headaches loom for risk-oriented investors. Read more.

Eric Sprott: Silver Will Become a Currency Again

February 19 — With the Greek crisis nearing a climax, The Doc spoke with Eric Sprott of Sprott Asset Management this week to discuss the Euro debt crisis, silver fundamentals, and the recent PSLV follow-on offering. 

When asked about his recent efforts to convince silver mining companies to save in silver rather than cash or treasuries Eric responded: I think we have a bit of a voice in the silver market, and the reason for the letter was just the simple analysis that the paper traders were determining the price…and why should you physical silver producers let that happen?

John Williams: $8,890 Gold, $517 Silver & Hyperinflation Update

February 17 — John Williams, of Shadowstats, discusses some extraordinary prices for gold and silver as well as giving an update on his hyperinflation watch. Williams also says that there is no recovery in the economy and inflation is picking up steam. Here is what Williams had to say about the situation: “Hyperinflation Watch: The upside pressure on oil prices, at the moment, largely is from escalating political tensions in the Middle East, not from significant new weakness in the U.S. dollar. Risk remains high, though, of a sharp sell-off in the U.S. dollar and dumping of dollar-denominated paper assets, particularly as the euro area crises come to head and the damages are absorbed, in due course, by the global financial system.” Read more.

hulbert-markInsiders are selling heavily

February 16 — Corporate insiders are now selling their companies’ stock at a rate not seen since late last July. That’s a scary parallel indeed, since that late-July spike in selling came just days before one of the more painful two-week periods in the stock market in years. 

In early August, as you may recall, the U.S. government lost its triple-A credit rating, and the bottom dropped out of the stock market. Between the last week of July and the second week of August, the Dow Jones Industrial Average /quotes/zigman/627449 DJIA +0.42% dropped 2,000  Read more.

Steve Forbes: Bernanke is "Supreme Socialist"

February 16 — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is running the economy in such a heavy-handed manner that he more resembles a socialist strongman reminiscent of the Soviet Union than the head of the world's largest and most iconic of capitalist economies, former GOP presidential hopeful and publisher Steve Forbes writes.

By swelling the Fed's balance sheets via massive purchases of Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities from banks and by controlling interest rates and money supply with various monetary policy tools, Bernanke has become a "supreme socialist" who dictates how Americans manage their money.
