Warsh said the Fed is committed to maintaining ample reserves in the system. He also assured that the Fed will deliver price stability. Those statements are mutually exclusive. To deliver price stability, the Fed must drain reserves from the system, as they are already too ample.
Warsh said he'll create multiple task forces to examine monetary policy. We don't need to waste time and money establishing task forces when the problem and the solution are obvious. Inflation is too high as policy is too loose. The Fed must stop enabling reckless fiscal policy.
When the government doesn't want to solve a problem because the solution is unpopular, it establishes a committee to study it. Warsh is now doing the same thing at the Fed. Instead of implementing an unpopular solution, he's establishing multiple task forces to study the problem.
Warsh said the Fed's goal is making economic growth, low prices, & strong employment mutually compatible. The Fed doesn't have to make that happen; it happens naturally under free market capitalism. The reason it doesn't happen is because central banks create too much inflation.
STRC closed at $89. Investors who paid $100 last month are down 11%. The current yield for new buyers is 12.92%. If Saylor raises the yield to 13%, he will have to sell even more MSTR at bigger discounts to fund it. If he doesn't raise the yield, the STRC price will keep falling.
$STRC just traded below $89.50. That means that risk-averse retirees whom @Saylor convinced to buy last month are already down over 10.5%, almost an entire year's 11.5% yield. Worse, to bail them out, $MSTR will have to raise the yield to 13%, destroying more shareholder value.
Warsh said inflation is a choice. It's the choice the Fed made to spare politicians from having to slash government spending and to bail out investors and homeowners by propping up the price of their assets. So if the Fed chooses to end inflation, prepare for the consequences.
The best question asked at today's Fed press conference was: given the Fed's commitment to price stability, why didn't the Fed raise interest rates today? Warsh refused to answer that question. That's because when it comes to fighting inflation, the Fed will bark, but not bite.
