Money for Nothing

That ain't workin,' that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb

Nice followup from yesterday's missive by Bill Gross. He notes, "$54 trillion of credit in the US financial system based upon trusting a central bank with nothing in the vault to back it up. Amazing!"


What the Fed and other central banks are doing is pure Ponzi, with big time inflationary consequences.

Zero-bound interest rates, QE maneuvering, and “essentially costless” check writing destroy financial business models and stunt investment decisions which offer increasingly lower ROIs and ROEs.
