Caveat Emptor

Caveat Emptor
by Lawrence Kudlow
Kudlow's Money Politic$, 23/3 2007
On the one hand, inflation puffed up in January and February, an argument for Fed tightening. On the other hand, we have the sub-prime housing virus, by no means an economic positive (although it’s not the economic catastrophe the mainstream media is making it out to be).
Inflation-linked bond spreads have been widening, another excess-money signal. I don’t want to take the inflation threat too far, but...
Lurking behind all this is a historical footnote: It is possible to have slow growth and rising inflation — or too much money chasing very few goods. This translates to a whiff of stagflation, which is the Fed’s worst nightmare.
I don’t think there’s any need to desert the Goldilocks scenario just yet. There is in fact a reasonable chance the economy will surprise on the upside, as it has done so often in recent years.
Caveat emptor, Fed: When in doubt, don’t cut rates.
Turn off the nightly Larry Kudlow sis-boom-bah routine and utilize your own ability to see through the lunacy.
Asset values have begun heading down and we are nowhere near "the bottom."

Kudlow On The Trade Deficit
Mr. Kudlow's rhetoric typifies an ongoing Wall Street, government, and media propaganda effort
that would even amaze George Orwell.
