Investors and investment strategies can be formulated in a more effective manner if you understand credit cycles, balance sheets, the wealth effect, the reverse wealth effect, assets, debt levels, and their impact on the financial markets and asset prices. If we understand why the Fed is printing money, we can more accurately anticipate the possible impacts on the financial markets, investing, the dollar, and our purchasing power. Chris Ciovacco, of Ciovacco Capital Management, provides QE 2 commentary and analysis related to the Fed’s quantitative easing strategies, asset price inflation, lending, borrowing, loans, and interest rates.
