ZeroHedge Blogger Bob English outlines how Bernanke and the Fed could finally go Bankrupt!
Follow us @ twitter.com twitter.com Welcome to Capital Account. The Federal Reserve came out with its interest rate decision today. They voted to keep rates at essentially zero, and hinted that they expect them to stay there until at least late 2014. Before we get into the what this decision means with our guest English Bob, contributing editor for Zero Hedge, let's start with a little story. Once upon a time, there were these things called "prices." The market (Ie You, me and joe six-pack down the street) determined them with every single transaction we made. Although we still use prices in our everyday lives in order to make decisions, these prices are no longer freely determined by the market. They are distorted, and the source of that distortion rests at the FOMC. The Federal Reserve and global central banks, by controlling interest rates (the price of money) through their control of the supply of money and credit, have destroyed the market's price mechanism. The difference between direct price controls, like what we have seen in communist countries, and what we have in the United States today, is only one of degree. The government does not set the price of bananas or computers, but it does set the price of money and by doing so, distorts prices across the entire economy, thus destroying price discovery and the very essence of a free market. Another way to think of the FOMC's setting of interest rates is to compare it with rigged "democratic" elections. Let' shave a ...

Bernanke Bounce
This morning, the S&P 500 Index e-mini futures (ES-M1) are soaring sharply higher by 9.25 points per contract. Traders and investors are bidding the market higher after the Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said that more accommodative policies will be needed to help the labor market in the United States. Last week, several Federal Reserve Bank presidents just said that more stimulus will hurt the economy by causing excessive inflation. Oh well, gold is soaring higher this morning and that is usually the best indicator of inflation in the marketplace. The PowerShares DB Gold Double Long ETN (NYSEARCA:DGP) is trading higher by nearly 2.00 percent to $53.79 a share before the opening bell. Other inflationary sensitive equities such as the ProShares Ultra Silver (ETF) (NYSEARCA:AGQ), BHP Billiton Limited (NYSE:BHP), and Rio Tinto plc (NYSE:RIO) are all climbing higher before the opening bell.

Follow us @ twitter.com twitter.com Welcome to Capital Account. It's been a busy week in the spotlight for the Federal Reserve Chairman. Today, Bernanke spoke at the opening of a Fed conference in Washington with other central bankers, rounding out a week where he gave two lectures in his college class, the first ever taught by a sitting Fed chairman...live streamed for everyone to see. Now, you could call it a class or you could call it indoctrination, an attempt to rewrite history, or a PR offensive in the face of Fed criticism. Bernanke claimed, among other things, that the Federal Reserve's low interest rate policy was not primarily responsible for causing the housing bubble. This is false on its face, because the housing bubble was not just a bubble in house prices; it was first and foremost a bubble in mortgage refinancing and thus credit. That's why this was called a "credit crisis." You cannot have a credit bubble without rates that were too low. One of the points that Bernanke makes is that other countries with higher rates of interest also saw housing bubbles, and that therefore, you cannot blame the bubble in the US on the Fed's interest rate policy. What Berannke fails to acknowledge is that a rate that was appropriate in Dusseldorf, Germany may not have been appropriate for a borrower in Madrid, Spain, Indeed, one of the problems with the euro area is that capital from Germany was being exported to the periphery as a result of a uniform interest rate that was ...

Marc Faber, "The Ego of Mr. Bernanke has been Badly Inflated"
Follow us @ twitter.com twitter.com US President Barack Obama gave a speech accusing Republicans of "social darwinism" with budget cuts they are proposing, calling them antithetical to the country's history as a land of opportunity. But how much opportunity is there left exactly? We speak with Dr. Marc Faber, publisher of the Gloom Boom & Doom report. He says that wealth destruction and social unrest may be on the way for Western economies, whose citizens are being outcompeted by those in emerging economies who are willing to work harder and are far hungrier than Westerners are. And yesterday, Wall Street had a strong start to the second quarter, with the S&P 500 marking its highest close since mid-May 2008. And the FOMC minutes today reveal the Federal Reserve is holding off on more monetary easing unless US economic growth falters or inflation goes below two percent. So is this inflation or deflation? Is this risk on or risk off? And what does it mean for the economy that this is the way we are always looking at things? Marc Faber has his own thoughts on the matter. He believes that this debate is not quite so simple. He says inflation in money and credit can cause bubbles, but it is hard to know where they are, and it is not easy to know where inflation is taking place. Governments hide inflation through various official numbers and estimates, and also, much of that inflation goes into asset prices. We do not know exactly how much the Federal Reserve, the ECB, the BOJ ...

Jim Rogers on Ben Bernanke, the Dollar and "Saving the Saver"
Follow us @ twitter.com twitter.com Ben Bernanke is defending the Federal Reserve's financial repression of savers today on the Capitol Hill. He also says there are no signs of higher inflation. Maybe that is because he is wearing his CPI, or PCE goggles...lucky for us, we have legendary investor Jim Rogers on Capital Account today to tell us why Ben Bernanke may not know what he is doing. Jim will also tell us what he thinks of financial repression, and the destruction of the saver in America with these punishingly low interest rates. Does America need savings, and should savers be punished so that the rest of the country's speculative class can continue to bet on the financial roulette wheel? Meanwhile, Angela Merkel is in China reportedly trying to convince the country with 3.2 trillion dollars worth of foreign exchange reserves to throw a little in the direction of the eurozone. And another major eurozone credit-pusher Christine Lagarde, we just saw her take her fundraising efforts to the World Economic Forum coming to collect for the IMF. But why might these heavy hitting women be butting heads? We'll give you the back story, and we'll ask Jim Rogers what he thinks as well.

Nomi Prins on Bernanke's testimony, Obama's Mortgage Plan and Greece's missed "Bailout" Deadline
Follow us @ twitter.com twitter.com Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke testified before the Senate today - last week he testified before the House - and the media wanted to hear if the "good" US jobs report, which came out since he last spoke, changes anything about monetary policy. The jobs report has been deemed "good" because the headline unemployment number went down a little to 8.3%. Bernanke actually said this understates the weakness of the labor market, but do these monthly numbers matter at all? People who crunch the numbers seem to say no. David Stockman, Ronald Reagan's former budget director in an email that's been made public wrote you basically can pick and choose what you want from the reports to support your thesis but, "In short, if you spend a little time with these numbers you will know that they are being made up." John Mauldin, financial expert was writing about something similar that these numbers are subject to large revisions up or down - so take them with a grain of salt. So if that's the case and the Bureau of Labor Statistics is the emperor wearing no clothes, coming out with these meaningless numbers each month, why are markets and the media glued to them? We will be speaking with Nomi Prins during the show, and will ask her what she things about this purported oddity of markets hanging on news that the may see as highly dubious. And speaking of news the markets and media hang on - Greek leaders are still in talks over a debt deal - and the ...

Ben Bernanke Lectures At George Washington University
As college courses go, the name -- "Reflections on the Federal Reserve and Its Place in Today's Economy" -- sounds perfectly ordinary. Then there's the name of the lecturer. Not exactly ordinary: Ben Bernanke, the sitting chairman of the Federal Reserve . Four times starting Tuesday, Bernanke will take a break from his day job to revisit the academic life he led -- and, by all accounts, enjoyed -- before coming to Washington a decade ago. He'll stand before a class of George Washington University undergraduates and deliver a series of lectures on the Fed. For a Fed chief who has set new standards for public accessibility, the GW lecture series marks another first: None of Bernanke's predecessors ever helped teach college students while serving as chairman. GW assembled the class of 30 from 80 applicants who wrote a one-page essay on what they hoped to learn from arguably the second-most-powerful US government official after the president. But no one needs to be in the lecture hall to hear Bernanke live. His lectures are being promoted on the Fed's website, where anyone can view them live (at ) starting with the first one at 12:45 pm Eastern time. And the Fed will maintain the four one-hour lectures on its site for later viewing. www.ustream.tv The first will focus on central banking in the United States dating to the panics of the 19th century and early 20th century, which led to the Fed's creation in 1913. The second lecture, on Thursday, involves the central bank's ...
