This past Wednesday we heard from the Federal Reserve with regard to monetary policy, and as I predicted they did raise the federal funds rate 25 basis points however, instead of yields rising, they are dropping. More than a year and a half ago I had said publicly that the Federal Reserve's attempt at trying to normalize bond yields would backfire-and this is exactly what is happening. It is clear to me that the Federal Reserve has absolutely lost control of what is occurring in the bond market. Remember, this is uncharted territory, we have never been here before in the history of the financial world-so the Federal Reserve actually has no idea of how the market will react in the current environment with regard to their attempt at normalizing interest rates.

For those of us that are not economically minded and can't really follow what that guy is trying to say in that video, could you please explain why bonds are so important.

While I find this topic interesting, isn't a "coming soon" prediction in 2009 (8 years ago) that hasn't happened somewhat of a cause for concern? What exactly is "coming soon"? I mean how many years. Almost seems like one of those buy our gold ads...and as if in a total societal collapse gold would be woth anything as a bartering tool. How would you make change?

This might as well be in another language. I'm not trying to derail your thread I truly wish to understand why this bothers you so much but to do that you have to explain more clearly how bonds lead the market.

I suspect if we dig deep enough, we will find what the guy is selling as our salvation and how much he stands to PROFIT from his "prediction"...
I'll freely admit I could be mistaken, but in my experience if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck...well, you've all heard it before...
