Money manager Peter Schiff says the Federal Reserve has already
started a new money printing program that continues to expand the debt
bubble and keep global markets propped up. This started abruptly last
month in what is called the “repo market,” where the Fed provides
liquidity for traders of short-term money or overnight funding.
Peter Schiffはこういう、FEDはすでに紙幣印刷プログラムを再開している、債務バブルを膨らまし世界株式市場を支えている。これは先月突然「レポ市場」で始まった、ここでFEDは短期的な一夜もの流動性を供給している。
Schiff says, “When the Fed was doing QE3, they were buying $85
billion worth of debt per month. They (Fed) just did $176 billion in
three weeks, and they say they are not doing QE..."
"So, the Fed is monetizing more debt not doing QE than when
they were doing QE, which means they are doing it and they are going to
have to do more of it. The reason they are doing it is because
the markets are finally trying to move interest rates higher because the
Fed has been suppressing them. They are artificially low, and these
artificially low interest rates have done tremendous damage to the
economy over the years. Now, rates are rising, and the Fed is trying to
stop this from happening. They shouldn’t do this, but this is what they
have to do to keep the bubble from imploding. This is why they
have to go back to QE. If they didn’t, rates would be much higher, the
stock market would be much lower, real estate prices would be coming
down and we would be heading for another financial crisis.”
What is the end goal in all of this? Schiff contends, “The only goal our leaders have is to postpone the pain so they can get re-elected..." この状況の到達点は何だろう?Schiffの主張はこうだ、「我々の指導者の唯一の目的は痛みを先延ばしし、再選されることだ・・・」
"That’s the whole idea. Look, this is a gigantic time bomb; we just have to make sure that the fuse is longer. We
have an election coming up, and the Fed Chair just wants to make sure
they can keep everything going long enough to resign and have somebody
else be the fall guy. Nobody cares about the long term health of the
economy, and the plan is to delay the inevitable and pretend everything
is good. . . . As far as the debt is concerned, the debt is never going to be repaid. We can’t repay it, and, in fact, nobody even believes we are going to repay it.”
So, what is the next move by central bankers?
Schiff says, “It’s more politically expedient to take the printing
route, especially because nobody believes they are going to destroy the
currency..."
"They think they are going to print enough money to reduce the value
of the debt enough to make everything go away. It’s like trying to get a
little bit pregnant, which is impossible to do. So, once they start
monetizing debt in that way, then that’s it. The dollar is going
to get killed. That’s where we are headed. That’s the only thing that
hasn’t happened yet. Gold has broken out. Gold is over $1,500 per ounce,
and it is hitting record highs in most currencies. Not in the dollar,
yet. The dollar is still relatively strong against other fiat
currencies, but the fact it is this weak against gold shows you there is
a lot of underlying weakness in the dollar that has yet to manifest . .
. but that is going to happen. When the dollar starts to fall, that’s
going to take the bond market down with it. Long term interest rates are
ultimately going to rise when the dollar tanks.”

Schiff also says, “I think gold is undervalued relative to where it should be because so many people have too much confidence in central banks and fiat money..."
"They don’t realize they need to own gold. I think they are going to come to that epiphany soon, and when they do, the price of gold is going to explode...
Gold is going to be money again. There is no question in my mind that is going to happen.”
ゴールドは再度マネーになろうとしている。そうなることに私は何の疑念も持っていない。」
Schiff predicts President Trump will not get re-elected but not
because of impeachment, but the failing economy. Schiff says, “The trade
deficits are bigger than they have ever been. They are bigger than they
were under Obama..."
"Manufacturing is already in recession, and it will be deeper in recession by the time the election comes. The numbers are the worst they have been since 2009.
Most blue collar voters who voted for Trump in 2016 will be worse off in 2020. They will have more debt, and they will have lower real wages if they even have jobs.
Class 8 Heavy Truck Orders Crash 68% in January by Tyler Durden Wed, 02/06/2019 - 17:25 Among the latest dismal news about the strength of the US economy, on Tuesday ACT Research released preliminary truck orders for January 2019 which showed that Class 8 truck orders collapsed an astounding 68% for January. The decline is being attributed to a 300,000+ vehicle backlog potentially prompting fleets to halt purchases in the near term. 米国経済に関し最近憂鬱なニュースが多い中で、火曜にACT researchが2019年1月のトラック発注を開示した、1月にClass 8のトラック発注がなんと68%も急落した。この発注減は短期的に300,000台超の潜在在庫を生み出す。 Specifically, in January Class 8 net orders were 15,800 units (14,700 SA; 176,400 SAAR), down 68% YoY and down 26% MoM. Class 5- 7 January net orders were 23,400...
Amazonで買物をしてContrarianJを応援しよう "On The Precipice" by Tyler Durden Mon, 06/24/2019 - 14:30 Authored by Kevin Ludolph via Crescat Capital, Dear Investors: The US stock market is retesting its all-time highs at record valuations yet again. We strongly believe it is poised to fail. The problem for bullish late-cycle momentum investors trying to play a breakout to new highs here is the oncoming freight train of deteriorating macro-economic conditions. 米国株式は記録的バリエーションのもとで再度過去最高を試している。私どもはこれが失敗すると強く信じている。景気拡大終盤で強気のモメンタム投資家が新高値を試そうとしていることの問題は、マクロ経済条件の悪化にある。 US corporate profit growth, year-over-year, for the S&P 500 already fully evaporated in the first quarter of 2019 and is heading toward outright decline for the full year based on earnings estimate revision trends.

中国が債務増加していることはたしかです。ただ日本の例を日銀資金循環報告でみると家計、320兆円、民間非金融機関1,785兆円、一般政府 1,284兆円となります。合算すると3,300兆円にもなり、GDPの600%を超えています。 https://www.boj.or.jp/statistics/sj/sjexp.pdf この記事の統計と同じ考え方で数値を採用しているのかどうか気になります。 加えて、この資金循環報告に書かれている海外資産というのが内数なのか外数なのか?私にはよくわかりません。当然海外債務も結構な額になります。一度日銀資金循環 図表1を見てください。詳しい方に教えていただければ。 この中国のたどる道は昔のソ連とかMMTと同様で、自国通貨ならいくら発行しても倒産はしない、というか為政者が痛みに耐えることができず緩和を続けるというものです。でも最終的には限界点に達します。ソ連は建国から崩壊まで70年かかりました。 自由主義経済なら立ち行かなくなった企業は退場してもらうというのが減速なのですが、これがうまくゆかないわけです。 でも日本は中国のはるか先を言っているように見えます。ちょっと検索したのですが、日本の債務に関しては政府債務に言及したものばかりで、この記事のように民間、個人まで総合的に記載しているのは日銀の資金循環統計しか見つけることができませんでした。 China Continues To Pile Debt On Top Of More Debt Written by Jesse Colombo | Feb, 27, 2019 Like many countries, China attempted to rein in its debt growth over the past couple years, but ultimately gave up and is now back to piling on even more debt.

Powell Keeps The Bond Bull Kicking Written by Lance Roberts | Mar, 21, 2019 In a widely expected outcome, the Federal Reserve announced no change to the Fed funds rate but did leave open the possibility of a rate hike next year. Also, they committed to stopping “Quantitative Tightening (or Q.T.)” by the end of September. 多くの人が予想したとおり、FEDはFFR変更をしないだけでなく来年も不明とした。さらには、QTを9月末に終えると約束した。 The key language from yesterday’s announcement was: 昨日の発表の重要な部分はこういう具合だ: “ Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in January indicates that the labor market remains strong but that growth of economic activity has slowed from its solid rate in the fourth quarter . Payroll employment was little changed in February, but job gains have been solid, on average, in recent months, and the unemployment rate has remained low. 「1月のFOMC以来の情報を分析すると、労働市場は強いがQ4に比べると経済成長は鈍化している。2月の雇用環境にほとんど変化がなかった、ここ数ヶ月確実に雇用は増えている、そして失業率は低いままだ。 Recent indicators point to s...
