‘Don’t Panic, Stocks are Safe!’

Economist Professor Irving Fischer explains that the stock market crashed due to high expectations- not high stock prices. Too many speculators were playing the stocks with borrowed money, resulting in a run on the banks. 80 years later, the banks are speculating with borrowed money and investors are running away from them.

    The government knew, they are not the ones in control. people do not realize someone is making money off the markets going down they are making a killing! they always do, they make the paper that makes the markets. those derivatives are contracts. the banks might be losing money but the entity on the other side of those contracts is making a killing.

    1) Government …
    1) Government manipulates the interest rates. This in turn makes money artificially cheap causing malinvestment (bubbles) which causes the boom and bust cycle. Without the FED it would be impossible for people to borrow so much money.

    2) It is the FED that is preventing the companies from failing. They are bailing out all these companies causing an even bigger problem.

    3) The FED was created in 1913.

    So why do you blame the Fed? Yeah maybe they did up…because they did too much, that’s why. if they did too little, we’d still blame the Fed.

    how the are governments the ones to blame? they aren’t in the business of lending to people who cant pay back the money, and speculating.. THEY ARE NOW; AFTER THE PEOPLE UP. It’s the Public as a whole that’s to blame. why the do you borrow money, you know you can’t pay back. Just to steal, thats why. the Govt isnt in the business of speculating. they shouldnt be buying these shares. Let all the companies fall. as for the Fed. The Fed didn’t exist back in the 20′s.

    THE OWNERS OF THE ‘PRIVATE’ FEDERAL RESERVE. ie Influential bankers…not government. This is a farce propgated by the government. Start with Rothschilds…they who own 550Trillion of global wealth…so you the serf/debt slave can keep their power trip alive. Obama can do nothing other than give money to the crack addict companies. Ron Paul had the answer…ABOLISH THE FED.
