Bernanke keeps flooding the money market
December 2, 2008 · By Charles Anthony
When the price of the US dollar is approaching zero, the Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke reveals a bitter truth about the futility of monetary policy:
The U.S. economy “will probably remain weak for a time,†even if the credit crisis eases, Bernanke said yesterday in his speech. While the Fed can’t push interest rates below zero, “the second arrow in the Federal Reserve’s quiver — the provision of liquidity — remains effective,†he said.
Maybe eventually — after the Fed prolongs the recession and fuels malinvestments — more Americans will wake up to the fact that inflating the money supply is not about stimulating the economy nor about helping the public. It is all about giving new money to the banks first. In Canada, monetary inflation goes unnoticed or without debate.
“Get out of the US dollar before it is too late!

Anybody who wants to preserve any savings they may have should get out of the US dollar. Buy gold or silver instead.”
Price of gold per troy oz then: $950

Mr. C,
The price of the US dollar is the interest rate. The Fed is currently pushing it down to zero.
Good lord Charles we are finally in agreement!!!!

Price of gold now……?
Charles, as I’ve already said:
“To claim that something will happen at an unpredictable point, and that the rate at which that thing will happen will be unpredictable, that if a measure or a number of measures of that thing are taken at any point in time between now and eternity none of them will count as any proof or disproof of that original claim, to make a claim like that is utterly meaningless. it tells us nothing about what will happen.”
If the value of gold had fallen, you’d have claimed that we’d not waited long enough. Like you did last time.
And then you’d get cross, and call everyone a socialist, or give someone “an other” lesson in economics. Like you’ve done every time.
One last time.
