Bernanke Explains Why The Fed is the Problem

Ben Bernanke made an interesting comment this past Tuesday:

“Since the gold standard determines the money supply, there is not much scope for the central bank to use monetary policy to stabilize the economy,” Bernanke said. “Under a gold standard, typically the money supply goes up and interest rates go down in a period of strong economic activity – so that’s the reverse of what a central bank would normally do today.” 

This is exactly why central bankers and the Fed is the problem to begin with. Under a gold standard, increases in money supply would have to occur by people actually working and creating the value. Investments would have to come from savings, which would result on a robust and large middle class.

Federal Reserve Stress Test Text, 4 of 19 Fail

For immediate release

The Federal Reserve on Tuesday announced summary results of the latest round of bank stress tests, which show that the majority of the largest U.S. banks would continue to meet supervisory expectations for capital adequacy despite large projected losses in an extremely adverse hypothetical economic scenario.

The Federal Reserve in the Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) evaluates the capital planning processes and capital adequacy of the largest bank holding companies. This exercise includes a supervisory stress test to evaluate whether firms would have sufficient capital in times of severe economic and financial stress to continue to lend to households and businesses.

Bounce for Precious Metals?

Two charts from a recent Minyanville article have caught my eye. The USD and precious metals are essentially competing currencies. Generally, if the USD goes up, metals go down and vice versa. Here is a look at the US Dollar Index, which is measured against 6 fiat currencies.

QE on the Horizon?

Fox Business is speculating in a recent article about future QE. Here is an exert from the article:

Although the positive unemployment report may have added doubts to more quantitative easing from the Fed, investors are not forgetting about the current easing in the form of record low interest rates and the Fed’s pledge to keep them low until 2014.  When asked about another QE program, Presidential Candidate Dr. Ron Paul said, “When you keep interest rates at zero percent essentially, isn’t that a bit of quantitative easing?  It’s the policy that has not changed and its not likely to change.  The whole concept is wrong, there’s a lot of credit out there being allocated by Congress and the Federal Reserve and it completely distorts the market.”
