FEBRUARY 22 ~ Foreign holdings at the Fed is a statistic that doesn't
change that much. Since last August, for example, the average weekly
change has been give-or-take $3.8 billion with a small standard deviation.
But what I thought was a horrendous typo turns out to be accurate after all;
some foreigners (probably Japan) have plowed an unbelievable $100 billion
into the Fed in the last two weeks. This is a 14% increase in the entire
foreign holdings at the Fed. In two weeks! A transparently desperate ploy to
keep the prices of bonds high and interest rates low so as to protect the
trillions of U.S. bonds in their vaults from vaporizing their budget accounts.
The Japanese are approaching their fiscal yearend in March, so a
desperation move makes sense; the Japanese government has never been
the least bit reluctant to commit one gigantic fraud after another.
