Month: December 2021
After the Fed
SprottMoney/Craig Hemke/12-15-2021

“So do you see how everything is completely in flux at present? This is madness, and it’s all due to the overwhelming reliance and dependence that ‘the markets’ now have for the Fed. Perhaps this was the Fed’s plan all along? Maybe they have always desired this sort of centralized, market-controlling power? But does having this power make their jobs easier or more difficult?”
USAGOLD note: What happens, in other words, if Atlas shrugs? The sentiments Hemke expresses in this short essay likely echo what many of our readers have been thinking for some time now.

“The U.S. economy will spend 2022 learning to live with the coronavirus without much in the way of help from the Federal Reserve or the federal government — especially with the derailing of President Joe Biden’s $1.75 trillion spending plan.”
USAGOLD note: So where do we go from here? Stocks took a major turn to the downside when the realization hit that things had changed – perhaps radically. Moody’s Mark Zandi put it well: “It’s like landing the economic plane on the tarmac in a storm that at points has a 100-mile-an-hour headwind and at other points a 100-mile-an-hour tailwind.”

Mike Lee, founder of Mike Lee Strategy, talks about the effect on the U.S. buck and also American economic situation of the Afghanistan withdrawal with Michelle Makori, editor-in-chief of Kitco News.
" The geopolitical risk as an outcome of the method we took out from Afghanistan is greatly higher than it was just a month earlier. I think China is definitely inspired. I do not assume any of that geopolitical danger is valued out there," he claimed.
