The Fed is the market.

Do you remember hearing and reading funny sarcastic comments like that? We probably haven't been seeing them as much lately since they are no longer sarcastic, or funny for that matter. It has become the unspeakable truth.

The Fed REALLY IS the market now.

Quote:
Everything Is Now Correlated Exclusively To The Fed's Balance Sheet

The chart which we presented a few weeks ago courtesy of Sean Corrigan sees a few additional components added to it. Whereas before the chart focused on the Adjusted Austrian money supply and commodity prices, it now sees the addition of the S&P and Junk spreads. In a word: every single asset class correlates 1:1 with the Fed's balance sheet. If the Fed is really planning on ending QE2 on June 30, the market collapse will be epic. And, yes, this should not come as a surprise to anyone.

Here's my post over on ZH. Please tell me why I'm wrong. PLEASE.

It’s really quite simple. The next Lehman is the U.S. Federal Reserve.

No, there will be no bailout for the Fed (too big to be bailed out).

They WILL GO TO WAR

.....to crash risk assets

..........in an attempt to create a flight to safety

...............to liquidate into.

Then we'll see.

Next question?

Buying up all the assets with printed money has been the plan of banksters since the fed began (and before).

Not tin.

They don't have to go to war. They can use the internet to create civil disorder, revolution and civil war instanteously, wherever they want.

Nice replacement.

I think Ben Bernanke must be very worried about spending his “golden years” behind bars.

We are witnessing the biggest scandal the world has ever seen. We are so anesthetized that we don’t recognize what we have right in front of our faces. History will mark this as the greatest collective denial of the greatest fraud of all time.

Don’t make the mistake and try to fool yourself any longer. It is what it is (unless you’re Charlie Sheen).

And I still pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.

Make no mistake. smiley

Ben more than likely has an undated presidential pardon squirreled away. I can't imagine somebody taking on the responsibility for the **** he's done without one.

In the long run even the most despotic governments with all their brutality and cruelty are no match for ideas. Eventually the ideology that has won the support of the majority will prevail and cut the ground from under the tyrant's feet and rise in rebellion to overthrow their masters.
