CNBC conducted an interview with Richard Fisher, former president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. One of the points offered was that central banking policy, especially in regard to Quantitative Easing or stimulus money, artificially inflated the markets, and now that QE has ended (at this point anyway), major market corrections are incoming. 

Here’s an excerpt from the below article:

The Federal Reserve is a giant weapon that has no ammunition left. 

You have to be careful here and frank about what drove the markets…. It was, the Fed, the Fed, the Fed, the European Central Bank, the Japanese Central bank … all quantitatively driven by central bank activity. That’s not the way markets should be working…. They were juiced up by central banks, including the Federal Reserve…. So, I think you have to acknowledge reality.

Essentially what he is saying here is that not only are markets overvalued but that the Fed no longer has any power to hold back the coming tide.

Perhaps this is why many high-level investors are pulling their money out of the markets and buying commodities, as reported by Zero Hedge earlier this year:

A Disturbing Warning From UBS: “Buy Gold” Because A 30% Bear Market Is Coming

As Wall Street axioms (Santa rally, January effect, as goes January etc.) are rapidly falling by the wayside at the start of 2016, following a chaotic but return-less 2015, the UBS analysts who correctly forecast last year’s volatility are out with their forecast for 2016. It’s simple – Sell Stocks, Buy Gold.

UBS Technical Analysts Michael Riesner and Marc Müller warn the seven-year cycle in equities is rolling over.

With markets in turmoil since the beginning of 2016, and no power left in central banks to manage corrections, perhaps this year will finally be when the global economy implodes. Let’s take the time now to unite and prepare for what’s coming, that way when this giant finally does fall, we can pick up the pieces and move on with ease. 

Why wait for tomorrow what can be done today.

What the Fed did — and I was part of that group — is we front-loaded a tremendous market rally, starting in 2009.

It’s sort of what I call the “reverse Whimpy factor” — give me two hamburgers today for one tomorrow.

I’m not surprised that almost every index you can look at … was down significantly. [Referring to the results in the stock market after the Fed raised rates in December.]

Basically, we had a tremendous rally, and I think there’s a great digestive period that is likely to take place now, and it may continue.

We front-loaded at the Federal Reserve an enormous rally in order to accomplish a wealth effect.

I wouldn’t blame [what is happening in the market’s now] on China. We’re always looking for excuses.

I wasn’t surprised at last year. And I wouldn’t be surprised at a rather fallow performance this year as well.

A lot of people are building cash positions…. Those [investors] that are taking a longer term view are being extremely cautious here, are raising their cash levels, are nervous about the valuations that are in the market.

The values are very richly priced here, so I could see significant downside

I was warning my colleagues, “Don’t go wobbly if we have a 10-20% correction at some point…. Everybody you talk to … has been warning that these markets are heavily priced.

The Federal Reserve is a giant weapon that has no ammunition left.

You have to be careful here and frank about what drove the markets…. It was, the Fed, the Fed, the Fed, the European Central Bank, the Japanese Central bank … all quantitatively driven by central bank activity. That’s not the way markets should be working….
