A Collapse is Coming.

Earnings Season: Companies Are Having Trouble With Increased Costs

A lot of companies that are reporting earnings are having problems because of the increasing cost associated with producing and distributing their products. Of course, this should not be happening if there really wash`t any inflation like everybody is trying to convince us.

More Disappointing Earnings: Amazon (AMZN)

Amazon came out with its loss for the second quarter and it was pretty big. The interesting thing about the Amazon (AMZN) loss is that the loss is going to get significantly bigger next quarter. And this one was already pretty significant.

The loss was 126 million dollars, net loss, and next quarter they are projecting the loss to rise to between 410 and 810 million dollars. That`s a loss!

Also I think more importantly, their margins, their net margins have collapsed. I mean, they are selling a lot, but they are not making any money. And obviously this business model is not viable.

The Fed Will Ignore Inflation Because They Can`t Raise Rates

Nobody seems to be concerned about the actual problem, which is that inflation will stay high but the Federal Reserve will do nothing. That is the real problem, that the Fed will ignore inflation while it gets worse and worse and worse. Because the fact of the matter is, they can`t raise interest rates without collapsing the economy.

Prices Are Already Rising Faster Than 2% A Year

I think prices are rising quite a bit faster than 2 percent a year already. But one of the reasons that`s not even higher is because we are exporting it to our trading partners. Look at all the bonds that China and Emerging Markets have been buying since the Federal Reserve started tapering.

In fact foreign central banks are buying more bonds now, they are more than picking up the slack from the Fed and that is what is really keeping the world at bay right now.

What Investors Have To Worry About

I think what Americans really have to worry about at least from the perspective of an investor is not what the Russian separatists are doing in the Ukraine but what Janet Yellen and her co-hosts are doing at the Federal Reserve. Because far more damaging is being inflicted now on the U.. Economy and will be inflicted on investors by the Federal Reserve.

The Federal Reserve Is Financing Speculation

The Federal Reserve right now is redirecting money that otherwise would go to capital investment and now is being used to finance, as financial speculation. And what we need is more savings, and we are not going to get more savings with zero percent interest rates.

Gold: A Real Short Squeeze Is Coming

Once all the speculators that have been shorting gold discover that their premise is wrong, that we are not getting this vibrant recovery and that we are not going to get less QE (we are going to get more) and that we are not going to have rate hikes, that the Federal Reserve is going to keep interest rates at zero in order to prop up this phony bubble economy that they inflated, you are going to see a mad rush from all the short sellers that are going to be anxious to buy back their money losing positions.

But that`s going to be a lot more difficult because there is not going to be a lot of gold around. Because a lot of the gold that was liquidated in the second half of 2013 is not going to be available for sale in the second half of 2014. That gold was probably purchased by entities that never intend to sell it. So, I think we are going to have a real short squeeze and we are going to have a big rally probably beginning here in the second half of 2014.

A Weakening Housing Market

Mortgage applications dropped sharply, purchase applications plunged, showing that the strength in the housing market to which Janet Yellen is pointing as a positive for the economy going forward is already turning around. The situation for housing is weakening.

Yellen: Highly Accommodative Monetary Policy Still Needed

I am listening a little bit to Janet Yellen`s prepared remarks. She is sounding rather upbeat on her outlook for the economy and inflation although she is still insisting that highly accommodative  monetary policy is needed.

If the economy is really recovering, why is that highly accommodative policy needed?

The Losing End Of The QE Stick

While I was in Vegas, I was reading an article about the other gambling mecca in the United States, Atlantic City. And, Atlantic City, the reason i even read the article was because it was about the closing of the Trump Plaza casino and after this casino closes, the Taj Mahal will be the only remaining Trump property in Atlantic City. But I did not even realize until I read it that this is the fourth major casino to be shutting down in Atlantic City this year. This year!

Four big casinos shutting down. And all this talk about this recovery, the recovering economy, why are all these casinos shutting down?

Again, it occurred to me that this more of an example of this bifurcated economy, where you have some people doing really well, maybe very wealthy people, people who are levered up, that own assets, that own stocks, real estate. But the majority of americans are hurting as they are suffering from higher food prices, higher electrical bills, higher rents. they are on the losing end of the QE (quantitative easing) stick.

Bullish On The Euro Currency

I think the U.S. Dollar has further to go down relative to the Euro (EUR). As bad as things are in the Euroland, they are worse in the United States. And I think we are going to push the envelope much further than the Europeans. I think as inflation begins to accelerate, as Europe measures it, they are going to be quicker to try to tighten than the United States.

No matter how high the official inflation numbers get, Janet Yellen will just dismiss it, explain it away.  She is going to call it noise and say its good for us. The Federal Reserve will do nothing to contain inflation.
