Max Keiser: Bernanke Has Created A Self-Feeding Cow With Wall Street

Stacy and Max appear in one of the funniest, shortest clips of this year. It all starts innocently enough when Stacy reads a news report of the drought and how it has taken a toll on feed for cattle. Stacy goes on to tell us about one enterprising cattle rancher who bought second-hand candy and fed that to his cattle. The candy was beneficial. It was cheaper than silage. And it supplied more fat per pound fed to the cattle.

Max takes the tip and runs. "So, if someone shows up to your door on Halloween dressed as a cow, it could actually be a cow" . . . and from there, Max and Stach make one of the funniest stretches of analogy concerning Bernanke, the Fed, and Wall Street banksters.

Without giving away the rest of the humor, watch this short clip about the self-feeding cows of Wall Street and the Federal Reserve:

Investors Are Leaving The Stock Market In Droves Because Of One Main Reason

A short piece from Andrew Sorkin of the New York Times explains in his DealBook column why American investors are giving up on US equities. From the article titled "Why Are Investors Fleeing Equities? Hint: It's Not The Computers"

Let me offer a more straightforward explanation of why investors have left the stock market: it has been a losing proposition.

His letter came after he had sent a Twitter post that read: “Boomers can’t take risk. Gen X and Y believe in Facebook but not its stock. Gen Z has no money.”

An entire generation of investors hasn’t made a buck. “The cult of equity is dying,” Bill Gross, the founder of Pimco, wrote in his monthly letter last week. “Like a once bright green aspen turning to subtle shades of yellow then red in the Colorado fall, investors’ impressions of ‘stocks for the long run’ or any run have mellowed as well,” Mr. Gross wrote.
