The Federal Reserve Is Leveraged Roughly 70 Times

Floated ever higher on a cushion of credit that has expanded exponentially, as you can see. The world has congratulated itself on its “outperformance,” when the truth is that bills have been run up relentlessly, with only the occasional hiccup along the way (each of which has manifested itself as a violent reaction to the over-extension of cheap money.


This one chart shows exactly WHY we are where we are, folks.

goldbug how can you continue to underestimate the US after what you have seen the last few years?

If a third world toilet is capable of doing this one can only imagine what the US might be capable of.

The capital is simply the FED's net assets, that is the assets it has greater than it liabilities. Normally the FED's excess profits go to the US treasury, since the FED is a chartered public/private partnership. It shareholders are the retail banks of America that in the past received a 6% annual dividend on their shares. The FED is rated as a charity whose job it is prevent the retail banks going bust or at least making receivership orderly.

In an age when money is created out of thin air I don't see much consequence. If money was still gold they might have a problem.

A retail banks reserve capital is simply a ratio of profits that must be kept rather that distributed to the shareholder. In the case of the retail banks who themselves can't print money it is more significant. In the case of Australia's banks they must keep 9% excess capital working in the bank. This is not be mistaken for the old style fractional reserve.

The US does have real domestic capital it can call on, such as resources, advanced and sophisticated industry. But so far has been content to import stuff from China because they do it "cheaper". This frees up the US market to produce what it likes, planes and bombs, and luxury services for its Elite.

Australia for example started WW2 broke and ended it with a giant profit.

It doesn't matter, it's a completely bullshit graph pumped out by desperate gold and silver bugs to try to convince themselves that somehow it's all going to go wrong and gold will make a comeback.

The Fed is buying assets, and it will sell those assets later on. Any relationship between the fed debt or assets to GDP is simply bullshit.

The graph you should be examining is the price of gold over the last 12 months, and it's not pretty is it? That is more relevant to you, why don't you ever post that or discuss why you are losing money every day of the week. Do you think that the price of gold will rise if you post often enough and talk down all other aspects of the global economy?

It won't help, but best of luck with the plan.

Actually the FED went broke in 1933. That's why a bank holiday was declared and the US treasury seized control of the FED. Introducing the FRN in 1934 to replaces the former FRBN. The FED didn't get its charter of Independence back until the early 1950's. When the FED has a surplus profit it goes to the Treasury, equally if the FED has a problem it will fall back on the taxpayer.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis.
