Keynesian fraud and stocks

Central bankers need to held in contempt for the crisis they are creating

by StFerdIII

 

Only Polly and Anna, and the frauds on CNBC and in the business media, so busy pumping their stock trivia, believe that stocks when normalized for zero rates, possessing a price-earnings multiple of 25-30x are fairly valued.  Take away 0 rates of interest, admit that real-world inflation is 5%, arrest the printing of money and the attendant currency devaluation; and stop spending money [deficits] you don't have, and see what happens.  A stock market fall ? Or maybe a crash?  

 

The so-called CAPE ratio—the price-earnings multiple for the market based on cyclically adjusted earnings averaged over the past 10 years—stands at over 25, well above its long-run average of about 15. Today's CAPE has been exceeded only during the market peaks of 1929, early 2000 and 2007.The CAPE does a reasonably good job of predicting 10-year equity returns. High CAPEs predict low future returns.” Source

 

When the next crisis shows itself – and it will at some point – hopefully there will be a hue and cry to jail central bankers for their Keynesian [monetarist] fraud; abolish central banks and go back to the gold standard which is the only [imperfect] method of ensuring that the plutocracy does not destroy your currency value. Today a 1971 dollar is now worth only 16 cents – but remember the elite's propaganda – there is no inflation.
