The Federal Reserve is Messing With Us on Twitter

The Federal Reserve is Messing With Us on Twitter Dear Sovereign Investor, This week, the folks at the Chicago Fed had a little fun on Twitter with homeowners and investors in the U.S. housing market. It all started with an uplifting tweet on Friday morning that stated the following: "The Case-Schiller Index was up 10.5% for housing, which might tempt us to go back to the standard model--housing will lead us out of this." Which was immediately followed by this tweet: "We only need to reflate housing 75% to do this." This would actually be funny if the Fed hadn't helped cause the housing collapse in the first place by keeping interest rates too low for too long. But who can fault some government bureaucrats for having a little fun at our expense? Come to think of it, I'm glad they're spending time playing on Twitter. It means they have less time to spend creating the next market crisis. Jim Signorile Managing Editor, The Sovereign Investor P.S.

The Real Reason the Left Hates Tax Havens In an example of what might be called "breaking impure wind," for the last 20 years the offshore financial world has seen the once-acceptable phrase "tax haven" – denoting legally reduced taxes – transformed into a synonym for tax evasion, money laundering and corruption.
