Captain Turk...Sir de Ben Benarke...He say NOOOOOOOOOOOthing...
On the contrary Errol43, Brother Ben said plenty - and it is all very good indeed for gold and silver.
Here is his message:
BennyBoy said:
..the Federal Reserve has a range of tools that could be used to provide
additional monetary stimulus....
We will continue to consider those tools and other pertinent issues, including of
course economic and financial developments, at our meeting in September
Translation: "Between now and September we're gonna give world markets a ride they'll never forget. Man, do we have some 'financial developments' for you!!
Next month you will be begging us to print the boodle and put a stop to the madness, and - being the compassionate and sensitive souls that we are - we will oblige!"
BennyBoy said:
The Federal Reserve continues to monitor developments in financial markets and institutions closely and is in frequent contact with policymakers in Europe and elsewhere."
Translation: "The boss is currently overseas. He wants us to destabilize Europe even more in coming weeks.
BennyBoy said:
"I do not expect the long-run growth potential of the U.S. economy to be materially affected by the crisis and the recession if -- and I stress if -- our country takes the necessary steps to secure that outcome."
Translation: "It's my way or you sleep under the highway."
BennyBoy said:
"Normally, monetary or fiscal policies aimed primarily at promoting a faster pace of economic recovery in the near term would not be expected to significantly affect the longer-term performance of the economy. However, current circumstances may be an exception to that standard view ..."
Translation: "All your 'standard' objections to further economic stimulus are wrong - this time it's different - we are living in exceptional times and only I know what's best."
BennyBoy said:
"The quality of economic policymaking in the United States will heavily influence the nation's longer-term prospects."
Translation: "I'm kinda hoping you think I mean "good" prospects here. We are only 'responsible' until things go wrong - then it is your fault for trusting us with your entire economy"
So, Mr BeNarky has generously mapped out our near future.
Probably time to buff up the old stack....
