Inflation Is Going To Wipe Out The Savers

Inflation is going to wipe out the savers. When the government wants to wipe out their debt they are wiping out someone else`s assets. If the governments were going to allow deflation and they were going to default then being a saver would be a good thing unless of course you were a saver in one of the institutions that failed and there is no bailout.

The Dangers of Removing Monetary Accommodation To Slowly

What Janet Yellen wants to do is to remove the punch bowl very, very slowly so as not to abruptly end the party. That is exactly what Greenspan did. He inflated a big bubble and he thought if he let the air out gently that there would not be any kind of adverse consequences. He was wrong.

High Frequency Trading (HFT), Short Term Traders Are Not To Blame

I don`t think you can blame what may or may not be happening in the gold market on High Frequency Trading (HFT) or even about the volatility in the stock market. You are always going to have program traders, you are going to have people that are buying and selling based based on technical indicators, based on momentum indicators.

By and large, this creates extra liquidity. If it wasn`t for all the people speculating in the market, the markets would be thinner. It would be a little harder to buy and sell stocks if the only people selling stocks were long term investors who wanted out and if the only people buying stocks were long term investors that wanted in - there would`t be that much trading going on.

So I don`t think its the traders that are responsible for the problems.
