Bernanke Approval Rating

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Bernanke gave his second speech last Wednesday voicing his pessimism regarding the state of the U.S. economy. After his speech, people were left with mixed emotions on whether there is any worth to his words and if he (and the FED) will ever make this attempted recovery successful. So we are taking our own approval rating...

Are Bernanke's tactics right for this economic state?

Does Bernanke know best?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere.  Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub, with your 1 p.m. market update for Wednesday the 22nd of June.

Yesterday it was Greece, today it's Ben Bernanke and the FED. What is really going on with the equity market is that no one has strong feelings either on the upside or downside . This neutrality is reflected in our +55 reading indicating that the market remains in a trading range. Today we want to do something a little bit different, I am going to go through each of the markets quickly, and  then zoom in and focus on two markets crude oil and silver. I think you'll find our analysis quite interesting and informative.

Now let's take a look at what's happening in the markets... Continue reading "Does Bernanke know best?" →

4 Facts Bernanke Can't Deal With

Posted on by lindsay

Well Chairman Bernanke finally rolled the dice. The question is, what will be the results of this unconventional bet? The U.S. is now officially in uncharted waters. We have never seen interest rates this low before, and the U.S. has never been in such a precarious position.

Chairman Bernanke's proposed solution is a simple one. Let's do everything the exact opposite of what we did during the Great Depression and let's see if we can spend our way out of it. This is an unproven thesis and there's no guarantee that it's going to work. What if it doesn't?

I think right about now we need to have a reality check and look at the facts as we see them:

Fact #1: The consumer is in a state of shock. With the collapse of the stock market, the American people have seen the value of their property rapidly diminish in value as well as the depletion of the retirement programs they may have had in place. This double whammy basically destroyed consumer confidence, which is going be a difficult task to correct as the public is waiting for the other shoe to drop. So, let's say this dramatic drop to record low interest rates doesn't work, then what? Well the Fed will just print more and more money which will create its own set of problems in the future. Mark my words, the amount of money to be printed will be close to $5 trillion as the FED is determined to get us out of this hole. This in turn can only mean one thing in the future ... rampant inflation. This is something that we are all going to have to deal with down the line.
