"no ammo left"
"What The Fed did, and I was part of it, was front-loaded an enormous rally market rally in order to create a wealth effect... and an uncomfortable digestive period is likely now." Simply put he concludes, there can't be much more accomodation, "The Fed is a giant weapon that has no ammunition left."
And there you have it, straight from the horses mouth and not from your usual "conspiracy" website.
Of course there are a few here who will claim Fisher is just trying to sell precious metals.

He's a mouthpiece. Anything a FED official says publicly is carefully crafted and said for a reason. Gobbledygook is their only weapon remaining.
So I guess whatever he says doesn't matter.

It matters to those who base their trades on what he says. That's why he says it.

You either think too little of professional traders or to much of amateurs.

So I guess you're saying the economy needs more stimulus and the Fed can't assist. I would say the economy doesn't need any stimulus.
The only reason FED saw a need for stimulus was to compensate for the contraction it created. Until FED quits being a market maker the bubbles will grow and the bubbles will pop. The FED will again see a need for stimulus. When will they learn.

The Fed does not create booms or busts. Investors do through. The Fed may give them shovels, but it does not make them dig. A little study of history will show that on most occasions economic euphoria or depression is a result of legislative action.

And concrete and steel too. So what? All those are useless unless used. The Fed had nothing to do with the tech and real estate bubble, but your elected officials surely did. Congress stimulates fear and greed which produces booms and busts.

It's quite simple. Fly your helicopter into any coin auction and drop $10,000 on each of the bidders. What's gonna happen to prices? Did you "influence" this market? Next auction don't show up with your free money. Prices gonna come down?
Natural forces of supply and demand are the best regulators on earth.
The prices of coins will not change. The bidders will spend exactly what they would have on coins, and use the extra $10k to pay down some debt, take a vacation, buy a flatscreen TV and a new smartphone, and put the rest in stock mutual funds for their retirement and the kids' educations.

It's quite simple. Go into any coin auction and give all the bidders another $10,000. What's gonna happen to prices? Were they "influenced" by helicopter visit?

That's what the FED thought. They were wrong also. What did happen is markets saw a boom and now they are seeing the bust. This is what happens when you spike the punch bowl and then don't keep refilling it. It worked until QE 3 wasn't followed with a refill. If QE 1 did it's job of fixing the economy, why the need for 2 and 3? The good (actually bad) news is QE will be back bigger than ever.

The act of people using thst money to compete against each other for limited items creates higher prices. The simple act of money sitting on the table will not result in higher prices.

Isn't he the same person that in January 2008 on CNBC, repeatedly expressed doubt that a severe recession was on its way and argued against lowering the federal funds rate?
He was Governor of the Bank of Israel during the last financial crisis. I'm not sure what he would have been doing about commenting on US Fed policy when he had more than enough to handle at home. In any case he was given credit for successfully steering Israel from a recession and a recovery in 2009. At least this account would suggest he wouldn't have advised against lower Fed Funds rate/interest rates, etc. The guy has certainly been around.
Although the Israeli economy swooned during the global financial crisis, it never fell into recession. Mr. Fischer cut interest rates quickly at the beginning of the crisis and, breaking with the I.M.F. playbook he had helped to write, he built up foreign reserves to limit the rise of the shekel.
Shlomo Maital, a professor at the Technion Institute of Management, credited Mr. Fischer with “navigating Israel through the global financial crisis that began in 2008, more or less unscathed, by clever manipulation of interest rates and impeccable timing.”

collapsing currency (and higher food prices) are throughout Canada. Canada is about as close to home as you can get. You eternal optimists are always grasping for a straw.
Watcha gonna do when you run out of straws - raise interest rates?

It's essentially the North Pole. $2.10 US foe a fresh cucumber sounds pretty darn cheap.

Those that bother to read rather than find something, anything to criticize saw this in the article: "And no, its not just Nunavut: it from coast to coast."

"Values" of goods and services are going to continue to fluctuate-- in both directions. Get Used To It.
Price equilibrium (as well as eternal sustained moves in the same direction) is a mirage, once you think it's near, it fades away and reappears in the distance.

Yes, markets are doing what markets do, react to supply and demand. What's surprising is that some people continually find this surprising.

I don't find it surprising at all. What I do find surprising is those that said "no currency crisis or inflation in the cards" have suddenly started singing the "markets are doing what markets do" song. Face it the economy is weak and getting weaker.

You have no idea what I love, like or believe. All you know is that I take the time to share information, of many different flavors and some of which I do not agree, with those who want to develop their own, informed, independent opinions. If you don't like the information - provide a valid, opposing point of view. Spending your wheels trying to discredit the sources only shows your lack of knowledge of what is actually being discussed.

I think providing a link to actual grocery store price "coast to coast" in Canada is sufficient to discredit your claims of hyperinflation in Canada. If your source is going to have to resort to finding the price of a cucumber at the North Pole to prove inflation is rampant across the country, then you better darn well be prepared to have your az called it.
If you can't handle the criticism then stop posting such nonsense. Otherwise, it's game on.

The subtitle of the second link is...
"The country’s annual inflation rate picked up the pace last month to hit 1.4 per cent."
Is that bad? 1.4%?
