Modern Central Banking Has Gone Beyond That

Two great quotes from Hussman's commentary this week:

“I cannot imagine any condition which would cause a ship to founder. I cannot conceive of any vital disaster happening to this vessel. Modern shipbuilding has gone beyond that.”

Edward Smith, Captain, RMS Titanic


“One reason that risk premiums may be low is precisely because the environment is less risky… The Fed has long focused on ensuring that banks hold adequate capital and that they carefully monitor and manage risks. As a consequence, banks are well-positioned to weather the financial turmoil.”

Janet Yellen, July-September 2007
