1. Great video man, only you should make a difference between money (gold and silver) and fiat currencies
2. Haven't we made more money back in profit (we in terms of the Treasury) from the initial QE 'investment' than was the magnitude of the initial investment?
3. thank you ! that was crystal clear !
4. Its not that we just agree that money has value as this video claims. Money gets it value in a particular country because it is the only thing you can pay your taxes with in that country.
5. There are a lot of problems with this video.
6. was gutted when i realised this wasnt the real crash course
7. Every day more money is printed for monopoly than the US Treasury.
8. The point when the Fed starts selling doesn't seem to have a soft landing.
9. Nice stock chart.. but doesn't it matter to you that the one's reaping the stock windfall are the banks...More (free) money means it's worth a less. and at this rate... inflation. And the banks were already making interest loaning money they "created"... now they can offload their bad assets to the Fed... the result of their bad decisions. I doubt everyone loves the Fed. I doubt the Fed has ever did anything right.
10. Why would the fed sell government bonds? It could simply claim the returns over a 30 year period. can it not get the money back without suddenly throwing the economy into chaos?
    
    Furthermore, doesn't the federal reserve return profits it earned back to the treasury?
11. Listen to this d-bag. I guess you think fancy talk and fancy names for stealing from the masses, justifies this farce. Governments in collusion with the elitist bankers of the world, the world's largest theft ring. Go f*** yourself.
12. well presented
13. such a well presented overview, thanks
14. Unfortunately for those who exercise prudence with their investment strategies, they will be completely overwhelmed by the inevitable MEGA financial crash that is soon to engulf us all. This will simply happen because 1% of the planets population has an incurable disease called 'GREED'.
    
    These wealthy individuals care for nought when it comes to the rest of us. As long as they keep making & retaining their obscene wealth the rest of us can rot in hades. What many of them cannot see due to their blind greed is they themselves will be incinerated in the fallout!
15. Thank you for this explanation.
16. Thank you for the explanation, it was very useful to average Joes like me trying to understand a bit of monetary policy.
    
    Isn't it true, though, that a fundamental purpose of central banks is to keep inflation under control? Therefore, it should be obvious enough when the central bank should stop creating money electronically - when inflation has gone above the target rate. So I'm not sure how exactly hyper-inflation occurs. Maybe I have more to learn...
17. I saw in the news someone in the UK checked their balance one day and found they had a deposit of millions of pounds accidentally put into their account. They spent it and then when the bank asked for it back she was imprisoned for years.
18. Its a pretty good video but you dont mention the criminal nature of what is happening here.  Forget QE Please make a video explaining why normal FR lending is a good and moral practise.
19. that picture of money supply at the start I do not believe US would be top
20. Isn't the idea that with all the money now into the economy, that more people will be employed, and spend more in the economy, so the Fed can gradually stop QE?
