 The Masters of the Universe Fallacy |
| Whenever there’s a major financial crisis, the largest commercial and investment banks invariably take big hits. This causes them to either go bust or go in search of a bailout. In fact, as far as I can tell there has never been a case over the past 50 years of an elite financial institution being on the right side of a major financial crisis. The same goes for central banks. Judging by their words and their actions, the heads of the world’s most important central banks have been blindsided by eWednesday, June 29, 2016 |

| Wall Street Is Falling Off A Cliff, And The Bottom Is A Long Way Dow |
| For the past 50 or so years, the quickest way for a sharp young sociopath
to get rich has been to join an investment bank or hedge fund. The former were
riding a "regulatory capture" gravy train that became ever-more-lucrative as
new government agencies morphed into subsidiaries of Wall Street. Hedge funds,
meanwhile, were surfing the wave of easy money that inevitably results from
putting banks in charge of interest rates and government spending.

| Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein wouldn't raise rates if it were up to him.
Speaking at a Wall Street Journal event on Wednesday morning, with regard to whether he would raise interest rates this week — as some expect the Fed might — Blankfein said simply: "I wouldn't do it."
Blankfein also said that the Fed should be data driven in its decision and that the economy doesn't seem to be ready for a rate hike.
And while markets are fixated on the first rate hike, Blankfein added that he's "not sWednesday, September 16, 2015 |

The "crisis," naturally, refers to the financial crisis. The one that sucked money and life from the city just as it did the entire world.
Before the crisis, Wall Street enjoyed itself brashly and boldly, unapologetically spending more on a bottle of liquor than a layman might spend on a month's rent. This was normal. So were lavish dinners at loud restaurants with 20-foFriday, August 28, 2015 |

Russian Bear Rattles Markets, but PPT Rides to the Rescue  |
| Investing is an inherently risky business with lots of uncertainties. At any
given moment, the bullets can fly from any direction, and at a bare minimum,
the investor hopes to emerge unscathed from the battlefield. But of course,
the goal of investing is not just to break-even, but to earn a sizeable profit
in the marketplace. And for the past 5-½ years, there has been no better
way to maximize gains, than sticking with the traditional "Buy-and-Hold" strategy.

| Trillions in Subsidies, but Banks Still ‘Struggle’ |
| Think you could make it in business with a trillion dollar subsidy? That’s a very conservative estimate of what banks can borrow each year at almost no cost, courtesy of Fed easing. Returning the favor, the banks plow the funny money into Treasury paper, stocks and bonds, then lend what crumbs remain to the riff-raff at usurious interest rates that sometimes exceed 20% — a tad more than Frankie the Camel charges customers.
