Looks to me like the Fed is not adding liquidity but they are trying to promote the idea they are. The question is why?

See reference to Hussman here: Message 24162765 It's unthinkable that the Fed would withhold liquidity, right? see: Message 24177893 Had a discussion about this here: wallstreetexaminer.com The Fed looks after its own. It's implausible, if not inconceivable that it is formulating policies without awareness of the $580+ trillion of derivatves outstanding, the struggles in the ABCP (asset backed commercial paper) markets and the capital deficiencies of the bond insurers. Look at the charts displayed here: globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com If the derivative counterparties fail to deliver on 20% of the total outstanding, the shortfall would be more than the GDP of the entire planet. Sounds pretty ominous to me. I hold gold and silver in many forms, paper and actual as well as a few energy producers in the Americas (N.&S.)
