    1

    Last week while appear­ing on FOX Busi­ness Net­work I was repeat­edly asked why the SEC was both­er­ing with a civil enforce­ment action against Cit­i­group for alleged bad 2007 mort­gage port­fo­lio dis­clo­sure. My FOX Busi­ness friends thought that the SEC’s action was dumb because the U.S. Gov­ern­ment is the largest stake­holder in Cit­i­group and effec­tively con­trols […] [read full story]

  2. Money Supply and Economic Data Weekly Watch – The Next Crisis Is On The Horizon

    1

    Even while the Fed and Trea­sury are fight­ing defla­tion and a seri­ous reces­sion, they are lay­ing the ground work for a new liq­uid­ity bub­ble with the poten­tial for dev­as­tat­ingly high infla­tion. While the cur­rent news is dom­i­nated by reces­sion­ary GDP, falling con­sumer con­fi­dence, bank­ing res­cues, incred­i­ble stock mar­ket volatil­ity and frozen short term money mar­kets, […] [read full story]

    Last Fri­day evening I was a guest on FOX Busi­ness and was asked if I thought whether the Paul­son Plan (which had just been approved by the House of Rep­re­sen­ta­tives) would improve con­fi­dence. The answer is an uncon­di­tional NO. Con­fi­dence is an expres­sion of trust in the integrity and wis­dom of our sys­tem and its […] [read full story]

  4. Money Supply and Economic Data Weekly Watch – Smokey the Bear Says, “If you start a fire, put it out. Only you can prevent wildfires.”

    1

      OK. I admit it. Nei­ther Ben Bernanke nor Hank Paul­son looks like Smokey the Bear (although Smokey does resem­ble my dog, Kelly). But like fire­fight­ers try­ing to save the for­est, the dynamic duo are fever­ishly try­ing to save the U.S. econ­omy from an eco­nomic wild­fire by drown­ing the cri­sis with liq­uid­ity. Every week I […] [read full story]

  5. Are We There Yet? No Way! (And How to Know When We Are There)

    1

    Given the events of the past few days it is once again time to exam­ine the immor­tal ques­tion posed by chil­dren and traders alike, “are we there yet”? Nope, not yet, we aren’t there yet, not even close. The bot­tom hasn’t been found in the credit mar­kets or the stock mar­ket and, unfor­tu­nately, we still have […] [read full story]

  6. Money Supply and Economic Data Weekly Watch – The Fed’s Next Move Will Be To Increase Money Supply

    While most of the busi­ness media is focus­ing on Lehman and trou­bled finan­cials, they are for­get­ting about next week’s Fed meet­ings and how mon­e­tary pol­icy will respond to the cri­sis. After almost 6 months of shrink­ing real money sup­ply (nom­i­nal money sup­ply adjusted for infla­tion), Fed pol­icy mak­ers are going to decide whether to push […] [read full story]

    On the 7th anniver­sary of the 9/11 attacks we need to remem­ber how lucky we are to live in the United States and the ter­ri­ble sac­ri­fice that many have paid to defend our free­doms.

    This morn­ing I was a guest on FOX Busi­ness Net­work. FOX pro­vided a car and dri­ver to take me to the stu­dio. The dri­ver imme­di­ately started quizzing me on what I was going to talk about on tele­vi­sion. When I told him I would dis­cuss bank­ing and pub­lic mar­kets and that I am a for­mer […] [read full story]

    Many “econ­o­mists” spent the last 9 months scream­ing that the Fed­eral Reserve’s inter­est rate pol­icy was going to ignite run­away infla­tion. These talk­ing heads were so inter­ested in lis­ten­ing to them­selves that they for­got to check the data and see whether Fed­eral Reserve pol­icy was infla­tion­ary or not.  As it turns out, since the mid­dle of […] [read full story]

Even so, M2 still remains less than 1% greater than the level achieved the week end­ing March 24th.
