Central Banks: "It is going to be a disaster in the end!"

The function of central banks when they were setup were to keep a stable currency and to be the lender of last resort. The idea that they would be supposed to make stock markets go higher, keep financial markets safe and keep stock brokers solvent so that they can keep their Lamborghinis is absolutely outrageous!

You have a bunch of bureaucrats and academics that do not have a clue of what they are doing. You know, they tried QE, QE2, QE3 none of that worked and they keep trying the same old thing. Now we have problems in the financial markets and they are already riding in. But none of this has worked, but they still try it. It is going to be a disaster in the end!

Central Banks: Trying To Do Everything To Make Markets Go Higher

The central banks get themselves deeper and deeper into it, they do not know what they are doing and that is becoming very clear to most of us. Yes, they will keep trying to do everything they can to make markets go higher but the more they do the worse the situation gets. We will all pay a horrible price for the incompetence of these central bankers.

Markets: Rallies Will Be Short Lived

The rallies will be short term lived but the central banks are not very smart, so they will do their best to fight against the markets, to make the markets go up. Unfortunately for them the markets have more money than the central banks and the markets are smarter than the central banks. The people at the central banks are academics and bureaucrats and they do not know what they are doing.

The American stock market was actually down last year. If you go to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) there were twice as many stocks down as up, I repeat, in the NYSE in 2015 there were twice has many down as up so we have been having problems for a while. The averages have been supported by 8 or 10 stocks that never go down or never did go down but the average market was down last year. This has been going on for a while.
