Unconventional Monetary Policy on Stilts

[krafty]

The list of unconventional measures has been extensive. There was quantitative easing (QE), or purchases of long-term government bonds, once short-term rates were already zero. This was accompanied by credit easing (CE), which took the form of central-bank purchases of private or semi-private assets – such as mortgage- and other asset-backed securities, covered bonds, corporate bonds, real-estate trust funds, and even equities via exchange-traded funds. The aim was to reduce private credit spreads (the difference between yields on private assets and those on government bonds of similar maturity) and to boost, directly and indirectly, the price of other risky assets such as equities and real estate.

if current conditions in the advanced economies remain entrenched a decade from now, helicopter drops, debt monetization, and taxation of cash may turn out to be the new QE, CE, FG, ZIRP, and NIRP. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

According to Marc Faber, the world is being ruled by KukuBanks ......... but this guy's sense of market timing is not bad .......... after these comments (in early February) the market did rebound as he said it would .......... I recall that somewhere else he mentioned that S&P will stall at around 2050 and then go down ............ it is now stalling at around 2050 .......... down or not yet to be seen ........... but overhead supply zone it is in according to traditional technical analysis ...........

You can continue to be scared, it's okay ........... I can continue to listen and selectively take his advice like in this video in early January 2016:

1) US dollar will be weak instead of strong as consensus was at time of interview - CORRECT as per chart

http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/qu...?symb=US DOLLAR INDEX FUTURES&insttype=Future

2) Gold shares can easily double with little downside - CORRECT as per chart

http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/quickchart/quickchart.asp?symb=abx&insttype=&freq=&show=

Nothing wrong with being jovial when predicting a crash, hasn't the female talking head heard of going short .........

USD is experiencing a pullback not a down trend.

i agree we have been in a asset inflation since government bonds peaked at sixteen percent in the 80s.which is why we need a crash now to deflate assets and make things cheaper......pls pls pls crash the US and SG market.

 

[dancingshoes]

it's already splashed all over the media, it's global slowdown not a recession. stop dreaming and get back to what you are doing.

you thought...you thought... that's is the only thing you are good at. trading in financial markets require skills, not simply economics. economics is for the very long term.

thats why i am not a trader.....im a buy and hold guy,i just buy assets that the expected returns is more or less known and have been backtested over a large enough sample size and hold it forever.and also pray for a crash so i can get more assets cheaply.

buy and hold does not always work ............ for HSBC shareholders it ceased to work since late 2007 .......... even Buffet has sold out of Petrochina for instance .......... even from 1995 to 2007 one would have done and slept better by being in and out of HSBC as the price action dictates ........
