(The Economic Collapse Blog)—What is the Fed not telling us? The numbers clearly indicate that big trouble is brewing in the banking system. I wish that I could specifically tell you which banks are in the most trouble, but at this stage we simply aren’t being told anything. They probably figure that the best approach is to try to keep everyone as calm as possible. But they won’t be able to keep a lid on what is going on indefinitely, and when word finally gets out people could start to panic.
In recent weeks, bank reserves have fallen to alarmingly low levels.
In fact, last week they fell to the lowest level that we have seen in more than four years…
US bank reserves have crashed to a four-year low, plunging to about $2.8 trillion, according to the latest Federal Reserve data, sending fresh warning signals across Wall Street and Washington. The steep decline marks the second straight week reserves have stayed below $3 trillion, a critical threshold analysts say could test the banking system’s liquidity strength.
By itself, this doesn’t necessarily signal that we are facing a major crisis.
But everyone agrees that what we are witnessing is certainly unusual.........

That’s fake, why spread disinformation ?
There are trillions in liquid cash.
“The problem with the Federal Reserve is that they are sitting on a lot of MBS issued in the 2% to 3.5% range which means they can’t sell that without taking a substantial hit since current mortgage rates are much higher. All they can do”
What Congress can do is to end mortgages interest deductions on such mortgages and use the resulting tax increases to help shore up the Fed.
The Federal should never buy long-term paper.
Stocks could fall 50% and most investors would still have plentiful profits.
“”I suspect that the ‘government shutdown’ instituted by the Democrats was done to try to collapse the US economy. This is why the believe the longer it goes the better for them.””

Well, let’s not forget how they did manage to tank the economy under GWB (who they immediately and naturally blamed), via the mortgage loan industry collapse... which then ushered in Obama. I still have the infamous youtube video of Maxine Waters and Bernie Frank lying about their motives and actions re: Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac... although most of that evidence has conveniently been scrubbed from the internet by now.
The leftists will always repeat a tactic that worked, much less one that worked that splendidly... no matter how much damage it inflicts upon Americans. That is how our enemy within, the Democrats, have performed for decades now.
This guy has been proclaiming economic collapse for decades now. Eventually he will indeed be right, but trusting him on timing is insane.
“This is 50% above Fed target, which a segment says is too low and should be .”
Google: “The last time annual inflation was at or below 2.0% was February 2021”
Reaching or staying at or below the target is obviously meaningless.
The stock market is due for a crash. This is as good of trigger as anything. They never really fixed “to big to fail” banking regulation. It’s been just a matter of time before the shif hits the fan.
The stock market is due for a crash.”
Company earnings are the largest contributor to stock prices.
Company earnings are good. Another large indicator is cash on the sidelines. Cash on the sidelines is huge, $7 trillion just in MMFs.
Collapse screamers have always been with us. This guy is an amateur compared to these pros from the past:
Paul Ehrlich: Foretold a “population bomb” in 1968, predicting that hundreds of millions would starve to death due to overpopulation.
Ravi Batra: Predicted a major economic crisis in 1987, but the 1990s was a period of relative stability and strong economic growth.
Alan Greenspan: Foretold two-digit interest rates due to inflationary pressures in 2007, but the Fed Funds rate was at historical lows shortly after.
Peter Schiff: Predicted the housing crash in 2006, but has been predicting economic catastrophes every other day since then.
Where is the tariff money going? It’d be great if he put it towards the debt instead of general fund which will be spent like the rest of the funding and then some.
Some information was released for the last fiscal year ending September 30th.
118 billion dollars of new tariff revenue brought in for the period ending September 30th with a slight decrease in the budget deficit recorded.
How so. Inflation is often sub 2%. The last time being pre pandemic is one data point. Hit a historical table of inflation. The vast majority of individual years back to early 1900s are sub 2%. Why can’t we have that?
Nice tagline - WT actual F.
That type of trash should not be allowed on FR. In fact it isn’t. I distinctly remember a rule against taking personal grudges from thread to thread.
Despite your pretentions, you’re not even a Jew, ridiculous assclown. You’re a s**t-stirring wannabe trying to scarlet-letter fellow FReepers.
GFY
Nice to meet you too.
Have a nice day!
I’ve been at the gym for a couple of hours. Interesting that so finally have your attention.
Another lie.
Click the counter forward +1.
I suspect that the ‘government shutdown’ instituted by the Democrats was done to try to collapse the US economy. This is why the believe the longer it goes the better for them.>>> I would think any government shutdown would boost the economy over the long term. If the EPA can’t mess with your property then that’s a good thing. etc. Maybe someone will be able build a car that doesn’t cost the same as a house. Just wheels and a engine.
