<the Fed has printed $160 billion dollars in fresh money over the past six weeks alone> I've always wondered what elaborate mechanisms are used to increase M1... (i.e. a new technology causes real increase in wealth which warrants > M1) HAHA It seems financial institutions are failing all the time but being secretly bailed out. Any good reading material on this?

I remember when I was graduating in '88 -- we had some important French fellow telling us how Japan was going to own the US if we didn't get with it. I thought he was nutz -- turned out he was.

Good read on earnings and Euro/dollar. He blows it with his analysis of fed intervention though: "Brett D. Fromson: How would you characterize Fed monetary policy in recent years? Ray Dalio: Cautiously reactive. The Fed has always done the most obvious thing and has always done it in a very gradual way. " thestreet.com

just look at California, there you have it. EIX and PCG have been defaulting on their commercial paper, and instead of bankruptcy, we get intervention by the state. True but it was clumsy intervention by the state (deregulating the prices the utilities pay while keeping a limit on the prices the cutomers pay) that got the utilities in CA in trouble in the first place.

I am not sure I would characterize the US economy anywhere near the predicament that Japan did (and still does) find itself in with respect to a credit bubble - IMHO months ago the FED cautioned corporations to wise up and limit loans to credit unworthy companies .. and they took heed. I know companies like CSCO certainly was very conservative in their lending activity.
