Game over man! GAME OVER!

Token: I'm not playing anymore.
Stan: Uh, well wait, what'd you see?
Token: I don't know, I don't wanna know. I'm out.
~South Park Season Season 6 Episode 15 - The Return of the Fellowsihp of the Two Towers

Two great quotes is never a good way to start a post, but I need to follow Token's advice and admit that I am out. I'm done. I don't want to know. I don't care to know. I just don't want to know.

While I have made it apparent that my view on the markets, the fed, inflation and most other current market topics are bearish, I no longer have the desire to know anything anymore because I hate to admit that I'm right. Our markets are actively beign manipulated in far worse a way than just currency plays.

Reuters released a special report earlier today that's quite interesting. The special report is worse than Backdoor Sluts 9, and Back Door Sluts 9 made Crotch Capers 4 look like Naughty Nurses 2! I feel like Token after having him question Randy Marsh on the explain what love making and being in love is.

For those interested, you can find the report here:

Authors note: No, I haven't lost my sense of humor. 2 South Park references in a serious topic is definitely a good way to keep the mood a bit light despite the severity of this topic.

Once you've read the report, consider this for a second. The Fed has actively allowed some of the most well connected people to front run their institution by talking to former insiders without much problem. This is not a matter of comparative advantage and having a leg up, as sugested in the article, but a material violation of the insider trading legislation. The decisions made by the Fed are simply NDA worthy until they are formally released.

Only in America can our Central Bank and its staff be considered above the law and free from all criminal or civil reproach. That said, this really pisses me off. There is no civil way to show my disgust of the Fed and what they are doing. The ramifications of this will be heard throughout the world and it just confirms how far removed our central banks are from the real world. The race to the bottom is on and there's no way out of it.

Welcome to the New Normal.

As always, comments and critiisisms are welcome and expected.
