Grant Williams: Wizened in Oz

Grant Williams, author of the newsletter, Things That Make You Go Hmmm, reviews the results of the last decade of Central Bank activity – namely: Bubbles.  Bubbles are everywhere…. stocks, bonds, commodities, real estate.  But Williams goes on to explain how the central bankers are stuck.  There is no way out of this mess without severe pain.  They (the central bankers) have found themselves in a position where they can only talk about halting the easy money policies, but cannot actually do it without completely crashing the system.  He notes that Janet Yellen may indeed try to taper from $85 to $65 billion per month, but soon would have to re-engage more QE because the US economy is not strong enough on its own.

So what to do?  Williams recommends holding a lot of cash right now in order to take advantage of the situation coming after the crash.
