After
several unsuccessful attempts to put his preferred candidates on the
Fed's board, moments ago Donald Trump announced that he intends to
nominate Christopher Waller, who is currently the Executive VP and
Director of Research, at the St. Louis Fed, to the board of the Federal
Reserve. Prior to his current position, Christopher served as a
professor and Chair of Economics at Notre Dame.
トランプ大統領は彼のお気に入りを何度かFED取締役に推奨したがうまくゆかなかった、今度はChiristopher Wallerを推薦した、彼は現在セントルイスFEDのEcexutove VPとDirector of Reserch の役にある。現在の仕事の前は、Chrisotperはノートルダム大学の経済学会長兼教授だった。

He received his B.S. in economics from Bemidji State University in
1981, and his M.A. and Ph.D. from Washington State University in 1984
and 1985, respectively. His principal research interests are monetary

Prior to joining the Fed as research director in June 2009, Mr.
Waller served as a professor and the Gilbert F. Schaefer Chair of
Economics at the University of Notre Dame. He was also a research fellow
with Notre Dame's Kellogg Institute for International Studies.

Waller was a professor and the Carol Martin Gatton Chair of
Macroeconomics and Monetary Economics at the University of Kentucky.
During that time, he was also a research fellow at the Center for
European Integration Studies (ZEI) at the University of Bonn. From
1992-1994, he served as the director of graduate studies at Indiana
University's Department of Economics, where he also served as associate
professor (1992 to 1998) and an assistant professor (1985 to 1992).
２００６から２００７年にはノートルダム大学経済学計量経済学、学部長だった。１９９８から２００３年にはMr. Wallerはケンタッキー大学、Carol Marin Gatton Chair of MacroeconomissあんdMonetary Economicsの教授だった。投じ、かれはまたボン大学Center for European Integration Studiesのフェローリサーチャーだった。１９９２−１９９４には、インディアナ大学経済学部大学院のディレクターだった、そこで１９９２−１９９８に准教授、そして１９８５−１９９２に助教授だった。
However, the reason why gold is spiking after hours, is that shortly
after tweeting the Waller nomination, Trump also confirmed the
previously rumored nomination of Judy Shelton to the Fed board:
I am pleased to announce that it is my intention to nominate Judy
Shelton, Ph. D., U.S. Executive Dir, European Bank of Reconstruction
& Development to be on the board of the Federal Reserve Judy is a
Founding Member of the board of directors of Empower America and has
served on the board of directors of Hilton Hotels.
ここで謹んでご報告する、私はJudy Shelton Ph.D、Eutopean Bank of Reconstruction & Developmentの米国代表役員、をFED役員に推薦する。JudyはEmpower Americaの創設メンバーで、ヒルトンホテルの取締役でも在る。
I am pleased to announce that it is my intention to nominate Judy Shelton, Ph. D., U.S. Executive Dir, European Bank of Reconstruction & Development to be on the board of the Federal Reserve....
I am pleased to announce that it is my intention to nominate Judy Shelton, Ph. D., U.S. Executive Dir, European Bank of Reconstruction & Development to be on the board of the Federal Reserve....
This is what Bloomberg reported back
in May: "The White House is considering conservative economist Judy
Shelton to fill one of the two vacancies on the Federal Reserve Board of
Governors that President Donald Trump has struggled to fill. She’s
currently U.S. executive director for the European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development, and previously worked for the Sound
Money Project, which was founded to promote awareness about monetary
stability and financial privacy."
５月にブルームバーグはこう報告した：「ホワイトハウスは保守的エコノミストであるJudy SheltonをFEDの役員空席二名の候補と考えている、トランプ大統領はこれを埋めることに積極的だ。彼女は現愛European Bank for Reconstruction and Develompentの米国代表役員で、これまでSound Money Projectで働いていた、この組織は金融安定化と財政プライバシーのために創設されたものだ。」
Since President Trump announced his intention to nominate Herman Cain
and Stephen Moore to serve on the Federal Reserve’s board of governors,
mainstream commentators have made a point of dismissing anyone
sympathetic to a gold standard as crankish or unqualified.
But it is wholly legitimate, and entirely prudent, to
question the infallibility of the Federal Reserve in calibrating the
money supply to the needs of the economy. No other government
institution had more influence over the creation of money and credit in
the lead-up to the devastating 2008 global meltdown. And the Fed’s
response to the meltdown may have exacerbated the damage by lowering the
incentive for banks to fund private-sector growth.
What began as an emergency decision in the wake of the financial
crisis to pay interest to commercial banks on excess reserves has become
the Fed’s main mechanism for conducting monetary policy. To raise
interest rates, the Fed increases the rate it pays banks to keep their
$1.5 trillion in excess reserves—eight times what is required—parked in
accounts at Federal Reserve district banks. Rewarding banks for holding
excess reserves in sterile depository accounts at the Fed rather than
making loans to the public does not help create business or spur job
creation.
Meanwhile, for all the talk of a “rules-based” system for
international trade, there are no rules when it comes to ensuring a
level monetary playing field. The classical gold standard established an
international benchmark for currency values, consistent with free-trade
principles. Today’s arrangements permit governments to manipulate their
currencies to gain an export advantage.
Money is meant to serve as a reliable unit of account and store of value across borders and through time. It’s
entirely reasonable to ask whether this might be better assured by
linking the supply of money and credit to gold or some other reference
point as opposed to relying on the judgment of a dozen or so monetary
officials meeting eight times a year to set interest rates. A
linked system could allow currency convertibility by individuals (as
under a gold standard) or foreign central banks (as under Bretton
Woods). Either way, it could redress inflationary pressures.
マネーとは本来国を超え時間を超えて信頼できる store of value であるはずだ。マネーと与信の供給をゴールドもしくは他の基準に連動させるといのは全く合理的なことで、一方現在は年に８回も各国の金融担当者が会合を持つのとは全く違う手法だ。こういう連動システムは個人の取引（金本位制のもとで）も各国中央銀行間（Bretton Woodsのもとで）の通貨交換をも可能にする。 どちらにしろインフレ圧力を無くする。
Judy Shelton is author of the 1998 book Money Meltdown; and previously she had concluded that "Central bankers, and their defenders, have proven less than omniscient."
The Next Decade Will Likely Foil Most Financial Plans by Tyler Durden Tuesday, Jan 26, 2021 - 15:20 Authored by Lance Roberts via RealInvestmentAdvice.com, There are many individuals in the market today who have never been through an actual “bear market.” These events, while painful, are necessary to “reset the table” for outsized market returns in the future. Without such an event, it is highly likely the next decade will foil most financial plans. 現在の市場参加者の多くは本当の「ベアマーケット」を経験していない。こういう事が起きると、痛みを伴うが、将来の大きなリターンを可能にするために必要なちゃぶ台返しとなる。これがないと、多くのファイナンシャルプランは今後１０年ひどいことになりそうだ。 No. The March 2020 correction was not a bear market. As noted: ２０２０年３月の調整はベアマーケットと呼べるようなものではなかった。以前にも指摘したが： A bull market is when the price of the market is trending higher over a long-term period. ブル相場とは長期に渡り市場価格が上昇するものだ。 A bear market is when the previous advance breaks, and prices begin to trend lower. ベア相場とはこれまでの上昇が止まり、市場価格が下落し始めることだ。 The chart belo...
The Fed And The Treasury Have Now Merged by Tyler Durden Thu, 04/09/2020 - 14:21 Submitted by Jim Bianco of Bianco Research As I've argued, the Fed and the Treasury merged. Powell said this was the case today (from his Q&A): 私はこれまでも申し上げてきたが、すでにFEDと財務省は一体化している。Powell自身がこれに当たると今日話した（彼の Q&Aでのことだ）： These programs we are using, under the laws, we do these, as I mentioned in my remarks, with the consent of the Treasury Secretary and the fiscal backing from the congress through the Treasury. And we are doing it to provide credit to households, businesses, state and local governments. As we are directed by the Congress. We are using that fiscal backstop to absorb any losses we have. 我々FEDが今行っている一連のプログラムは、法に基づいており、それを実行している、私が注意喚起したが、 財務長官の同意を得ており、財政に関しては議会の承認も得ている。私どもは家計、ビジネス、連邦地方政府に貸付を行っている。議会の意向のもとに我々は行動している。以下ほどに損失が生じようともそれを財政的に支えている。 Our ability is limited...
What Could Go Wrong? The Fed's Warns On Corporate Debt by Tyler Durden Thu, 05/09/2019 - 11:44 Authored by Lance Roberts via RealInvestmentAdvice.com, “So, if the housing market isn’t going to affect the economy, and low interest rates are now a permanent fixture in our society, and there is NO risk in doing anything because we can financially engineer our way out it – then why are all these companies building up departments betting on what could be the biggest crash the world has ever seen? What is more evident is what isn’t being said. Banks aren’t saying “we are gearing up just in case something bad happens.” Quite the contrary – they are gearing up for WHEN it happens. When the turn does come, it will be unlike anything we have ever seen before. The scale of it could be considerable because of the size of some...
