Interpreting the Fed's Beige Book: One common error in reading this publication is the idea that when the FR says economic activity “has firmed,” that does not mean it is increasing or activity is growing. It simply means the type of economic activity referred to has largely stopped going down, that is, it is flattening....; Tags: US Market, Kimball Corson; External links 2009-10-09
Why the Economy Isn't Improving Much: Most economists and too many policy makers are ignoring what I think is the real reason the economy is not improving much. The reason consumption expenditures and the economy not recovering more is found in the current distribution of income in the U.S. Let me explain. According to...; Tags: US Market, Kimball Corson; External links 2009-11-17
The Real Reasons Behind Our "Stupidity Economy": Paul Krugman thinks we are too restrained by the desire not to run big deficits and and by other limitations on ever bigger stimulus programs, all of which is creating what he calls the "Stupidity Economy." I agree that we have a Stupidity Economy, but for different reasons. As I...; Tags: US Market, Kimball Corson; External links 2009-11-15
Does the New Regulatory Reform Bill Concede Past Errors?: The banking system bailout programs have been quite expensive and while they did salvage the money center banks from the credit crisis, a fair question is for what purpose.

The Market?s Read on the Economy: It is well known that for quite some time now the Dow has vacillated between approximately 9500 and 10,000, waiting I think for a more definitive read on the economy and where we are going. On Thursday, October 29, the Dow had a significant rally, not surprising with the 3.5%...; Tags: US Market, Kimball Corson; External links 2009-10-30
Is the Fed Using Maldistribution of Income to Control Inflation?: In his excellent article, "The Tale of Two Inflations," Steve Waldman, who sees matters much as I do, had this pithy comment: Greenspan famously concluded that we can "mop up" asset price bubbles after they burst, rather than interfering with the dynamic whereby asset price inflation substitutes for consumer price...; Tags: US Market, Kimball Corson; External links 2009-10-29
How Hyperinflation Can Accompany a Deepening Recession: There is talk about the possibility of stagflation, that is, a stagnant economy going nowhere, at the same time we have inflation. The idea is easily explained, using the quantity theory of money and some ideas on whether people come to expect inflation. I will explain it, but not just...; Tags: US Market, Kimball Corson; External links 2009-10-28
Which Is It: Inflation or Deflation?: Two views are afoot. One is we are headed for a perfect inflationary storm.
