These Very Alarming Numbers Show How People Are “Coping” With The Coronavirus Pandemic
(Michael Snyder) It is during times of great crisis that we find out who we really are. Now that strict “shelter-in-place” orders have been instituted all over the world, most people have a lot more free time than usual. Of course some are using all of this extra free time for constructive purposes, but many others have decided that “self-medicating” is the best way to “cope” with this coronavirus pandemic. When under great pressure, people tend to gravitate to whatever is most important to them, and that is why what we are witnessing during this pandemic is so alarming. Just check out these new numbers…
The Purpose of the Federal Reserve Banking System
(Madhava Setty, MD) Centralized banking has been devised for a purpose unseen and much different than what the public and most of our elected leaders/legislators believe. The purpose is not to stabilize, but to destabilize economies for ulterior motives. How does a system described in the article benefit the people at all? What is really going on here and how did we get into this mess? What alternatives and solutions would you think of?
The Fed Is Running Out of Bubbles to Create
(Klajdi Bregu) The Fed came out with a series of unprecedented measures on March 22, 2020. They announced the Fed will buy an unlimited amount of Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities (MBS), or as Peter Schiff refers to it, “QE infinity.” This has been very positively welcomed by many in the mainstream media and by businesses. Yet, what many are ignoring is that the Fed has to do this to keep the bubbles that it has created going. Recently, I wrote that the Fed has created many structural problems in the mortgage market, corporate bond market, and the car loan market. These issues have only been “waiting” for such a situation to come to the surface and severely hurt the economy.

The Fed Blows Biggest Bond Bubble Ever: March IG Bond Issuance Hits $271BN, an Absolute Record
(Zero Hedge) When the Fed broke the last frontier of moral hazard – at least until it starts openly purchasing ETFs and single stocks after the next market crash, thereby fully nationalizing the market – and announced it, or rather Blackrock, would not only expand its QE to “unlimited” but also buy investment grade bonds and the IG ETF, LQD, it effectively tore the bond market into two categories: that backstopped by the Fed, and that which isn’t (something we described in “Bond Market Tears In Two: Distressed Debt Is Cratering, As Fed Buying Of Investment Grade Sends LQD NAV Soaring”).
