Something amazing is happening at Yahoo Finance. It’s a tool I use almost daily for stock research, but the articles and commentary are generally blah mainstream Keynesian Fed cheerleading nonsense.
Not anymore.
I reported on Jared Blikre last week, who actually made mention of the excess reserves problem at the Federal Reserve. This is an enormous financial elephant in the room that will eventually (and soon) destroy the dollar. I suspected he may have Austrian leanings. That is now confirmed.
Blikre is a friend of Bob Wenzel, and Austrian economist and publisher of EconomicPolicyJournal and TargetLiberty. I emailed Blikre’s last article to Bob and it turns out he had already linked to the very article I sent him 5 days before I even found it on the Yahoo front page. That means it was floating as the feature Yahoo Finance article for 5 whole days, though there are probably IP based permutations and algorithms governing who sees that article as the feature and who doesn’t.
So yes, we have someone high up at Yahoo Finance reporting on actual relevant financial news out of the Fed. On December 31, Blikre struck again, detailing some strange goings on in the Fed funds rate and humongous overnight treasury auctions that signal something’s up. It reads like a slightly toned-down version of a Zerohedge piece, but Blikre clearly has a deep understanding of the mechanisms of Fed operations and money creation that even I am unfamiliar with.
Read Blikre’s piece in full. It’s real financial journalism.
Blikre is a moron.
I found the article in a search for fed easing. I was flabbergasted that a non-circular economic article was available on the socialist Yahoo finance site. I feel like a traitor to conservative values but I am going to follow his posts, all the while keeping an eye out for a forced shift to Keynesian “ circular economic theory”
I know Blikre personally. I have seen his bookshelf. He is the real deal. He used to blog at EPJ under a pseudonym.
