    marketwatch.com: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq end at all-time highs, extending win streak as traders wait for outcome of Federal Reserve policy meeting
    Nov. 2, 2021
    U.S. stock indexes ended at fresh peaks Tuesday, with all three major benchmarks notching all-time highs for a third straight trading session for the first time since December 2019, according to Dow Jones Market Data...

    The Federal Reserve is “arguably the most dovish central bank in the world,”
    Good comment from ZeroHedge last week. Seems fiscally much of the west is off the cliff, in free fall, with record gains for the fiscal casino gamblers and the pain of significant inflation for non-gambling citizens just starting to bite. Actual policy has not been to correct the economy, improve productivity and long term living standards, but rather to continue to deindustrialize the west, now with ever more emphasis on destroying the west's energy supply whilst keeping the financial casino afloat. This is worse than incompetence.

    "Many seem to forget that only last year that the stock market was on the verge of collapse. In the week ending March 20, 2020 the Dow lost 17%. The month before, the S&P dropped 32%. These were declines not seen since 2008. It was not until March 24, 2020 that Congress agreed to the multi-trillion dollar COVID bailout/stimulus. That same day, the Dow rose 11%, its highest percentage gain in 90 years.

    With all countries and all world leaders immediately jumping on the BS COVID hysteria bandwagon, the farce was revealed for what it truly is: A desperate, worldwide money-grab by broke nations/economies through the fraudulent lens of central bank money-printing to stave off, if only for a short time, a complete global economic collapse."

    theweek.com: The Great Recession never ended
    July 27, 2017
    In the first few years after the 2008 economic crisis, a great deal of political attention and energy was focused on continuing economic problems. The Obama stimulus was too small, and it was followed by tons of austerity after Republicans swept the 2010 midterms, so unemployment came down with grinding slowness. But as unemployment has finally reached something like normal levels — and as the ongoing catastrophe of the Trump presidency has consumed everyone's attention — possible economic under-performance has faded from view.


    But the problems are still there — indeed, in some ways things are actually getting worse. The Great Recession never fully ended.
    Economic Policy Institute: epi.org: Why a fiscal stimulus that is big and fast is so necessary—and why it should continue so long as the economy is weak
    March 13, 2020
    ...even after targeted interventions are undertaken, quick-acting and large economic stimulus will be needed.

    What specifically needs to be done? Send cash payments to households and have the federal government take on states’ Medicaid spending for a year. Crucially, each of these should also include triggers to keep them going if economic conditions warrant...

    Finally, and perhaps most importantly, stimulus needs to have provisions that carry on if economic conditions warrant. Passing a stimulus that gets us to the end of the year and then creates a sharp “fiscal cliff” would be a disaster.
    yahoo.com: Treasury says plans to borrow $1.02 trillion this quarter
    November 1, 2021
    The $1.02 trillion in borrowing for the current quarter is the largest borrowing amount since the government borrowed $2.75 trillion in March 2020...

    The current borrowing limit stands at $28.88 trillion after the $480 billion increase approved by Congress last month. The debt subject to that limit is currently $25 million below the limit. But Yellen can use a variety of bookkeeping maneuvers to remove investments from various government employee pension funds to allow for further borrowing for a limited period of time.

    When the Fed has inflated the biggest and most unsustainable financial bubble in history and perhaps the world's largest misallocation of resources to take from all US citizens (and all who use the US dollar; currency devaluation) to award mostly the already richest few percent of people in the world trillions more in US currency.

    Then in the Fed's desperation to delay reality and consequence of their economic folly and disaster, the previous normal and free-market discovery required behavior of shorting seems to be getting redefined as terrorism.

    From ZH:

    bloomberg.com: Vast DOJ Probe Looks at Almost 30 Short-Selling Firms and Allies
    February 4, 2022
    The Justice Department is collecting a trove of information on dozens of investment firms and researchers engaged in short selling as part of a sweeping U.S. hunt for potential trading abuses, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

    The Federal Bureau of Investigation seized computers from the home of prominent short seller Andrew Left, the founder of Citron Research, in early 2021, some of the people said. In more recent months, the Justice Department subpoenaed certain market participants seeking communications, calendars and other records relating to almost 30 investment and research firms, as well as three dozen individuals associated with them, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing confidential inquiries...

    The long list of names underscores the breadth of the Justice Department investigation first described by Bloomberg in December and shows how authorities are trying to map out alliances and understand how short sellers handle research and arrange bets that stocks will fall. It remains unclear which, if any, of the names mentioned in subpoenas might be targets of the inquiry or merely have ties to other people or entities of interest...

    The U.S. probe adds to a treacherous period for short sellers. Some bearish funds threw in the towel as government stimulus drove equity markets, a situation exacerbated during the pandemic. The pressure intensified during 2021’s meme-stock frenzy, when retail investors banded together to bid up shares of popular short targets, inflicting losses on hedge funds and other traders.

    In NWO Clown World, two year old satire start to become truff:

    liputan6.nanyamulu.com (The Stonk Market): Federal Reserve Declares War on Short Sellers
    June 29, 2020
    WASHINGTON – In an unprecedented move not seen by anyone, the Federal Reserve has officially declared all out war on short sellers.

    “As a protector of America’s capital the Federal Reserve has decided it is time to declare war on all financial terrorists,” Powell said. “Anyone caught short selling will be executed.”

    Short sellers across the nation scrambled to defend their portfolios as the Treasury Department dropped ten thousand dollar bills into the rigged market...

    “We will take no prisoners,” Powell continued. “Short selling is worse than communism. The evil short sellers will be scrubbed off the face of this planet.”

    Jim Chanos of Kynikos Associates, reiterated how Tesla was a classic short for the billionth time before being drowned to death in a pile of money that fell out of the sky...

    To honor the beginning of The Great War Against Short Sellers, CNBC changed their name to Stocks Only Go Up! Furthermore, brokerage houses across the nation removed the sell button.

    “We will continue to drop dollars from the sky until all short sellers are decimated. Stocks are only meant to go up.”
    cnn.com: The world's 500 richest people became $1 trillion richer last year
    January 4, 2022
    The world's wealthiest people, whose fortunes already strained comprehension, collectively gained $1 trillion last year, according to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index...

    For the gazillionth year in a row, 2021 was a good time to be rich. Time and again, Wall Street shrugged off concerns about inflation, supply chain bottlenecks and new Covid-19 variants to keep equity markets humming. On that front, the wealthy owe a big hat tip to the Federal Reserve, which plowed tens of billions of dollars into financial markets every month while keeping interest rates near zero — an ultra-loose monetary policy designed to keep cash moving in financial markets as the pandemic jolted the global economy in 2020. That stimulus effort fueled a stock bonanza in 2020 and 2021...

    The S&P 500 gained nearly 27% last year, while the Dow gained about 19% and the Nasdaq ended the year up 21%.

    Valuations on other assets such as cryptocurrencies, commodities and property also soared, further bolstering the uber-wealthy's coffers.

    According to Bloomberg, the combined net worths of the 500 people in its billionaire index now exceeds $8.4 trillion. That's more than the gross domestic product of any single country on the planet except the United States and China.

    Throughout the year, American lawmakers' proposals for a so-called billionaire tax were derided, rather unsurprisingly, by superbillionaires...

    Since the pandemic began, America's billionaires have seen their collective fortunes soar more than 70% to more than $5 trillion, according to a report by Americans for Tax Fairness and the Institute for Policy Studies Program on Inequality, which analyzed Forbes data.
