On Wednesday, April 28, Ben Bernanke will hold a press conference. This has never happened before. Journalists will be allowed to ask questions. It will be held at 2:15 in the afternoon, Eastern Daylight Time. The Bankrate site has set up a reminder program so that you won't miss it. It will be broadcast on their site.
We are beginning to see lists of questions that people would like to see asked. These tend to be hostile questions.
I have 16 questions. I hope at least one of them gets asked and answered.
Here is what the session will not be. It will not be open to all journalists.
Each journalist will not submit one 3x5 card with his question.
Bernanke will not shuffle the cards and answer them in order for the duration of the session.
When he submits to that sort of inquiry, I will be impressed. Not until then.
Here are my questions.
For two years, Bernanke spoke about a proposed exit strategy. The monetary base has soared. This is the FED's balance sheet. Nothing like this had ever taken place in the era of the FED, not even in World War II. The exit strategy is the FED's plan to reduce the monetary base. He never said what number is the goal.
Here is his testimony to the House Banking Committee in February 2010. It promised an exit strategy.
I agree. Something definetely is up if they are holding a press conference
ReplyDeleteI've been shouting this as loud as I can for at least the past 4 months. Yet obliviously we continue. Not a single one of my friends understands that Money is Fake and that in one swoop the whole financial game could be put under proper pressure.
ReplyDeleteImagine if he just plain comes out and says Interest Rate must go up 2% !!
Or how about lets bin the Current Dollar and make a one.
Sad but true, the day is coming very soon.

Thats only cause they got bullet blasted in the head'. Uh, i took a shot off to the living dead. See how Fed papers it stole ya. The words as best i can remember on Rage against machine song. but if you could count it as bible symbols we might get spirit from it. Listen to the funk' uh.
