I did some grocery shoping last week, and found the price in safeway went up a lot comparing with those in Christmas week. The inflation damage had already been done.

well, they're doing it again: letting everybody know in advance that they will hike by another 25bps., so the markets can shrug it off before it even happens...

From the December 17 Grant's: The technique by which the Fed has added some tens of billions of dollars to the banking system since October 6 is called “repurchase agreements with tri-party settlement” (in which the Fed joins forces with a primary dealer and one of the big clearing banks). Benjamin Strong, governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in the 1920s, used a more pungent phrase to describe a credit expansion that the Fed engineered in 1927. He called it “a little coup de whiskey to the stock market.” LOL! grantspub.com Tom P.S. Strong was a clown. I hope that in the Depression he was destroyed.
