$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('ROCKMAN', 'C')og - "There is also an ideological side of doomerism." Not just cookers but "environmentallists" and cornucopians. Did you follow my long running battle with a variety of "environmentalists" that could not contain their excitement over President Obama's refusal to approve the Keystone XL permit. A great "victory" to save the climate. Eventually as oil sands production continued to increase they moved on to other "victories" like the Paris Accord. But I don't recall a single post here or an article in the MSM admitting the lack of the permit made no difference at all.
Lots of cornie examples as well as greenies who try to stretch reality to fitting their "hopes".

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')hen the Fed's balance sheet will finally shrink, the current large amount of excess reserves will begin to adjust to a new reality. There are three distinct effects that could occur: monetary base contraction, the revival of the federal funds market and an increase in velocity of money.

That article is 5 years old short. Why don't you try looking at what the FED is saying today:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'F')ederal Reserve officials said the shedding of the $4.5 trillion in bonds the central bank is holding on its balance sheet will begin this year. Unwinding the balance sheet is significant both because of its sheer size and the impact it could have on markets.

Shorty still trying to sell that ETP document for $25 that no one wants to buy. Look man, I'll give you $25 just to go away. Do we have a deal?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('shortonoil', 'T')his one is 1 month old, and the FED has a $4.5 trillion balance sheet. A lot of it is worthless garbage like repurchased Chinese MBS that aren't worth 5¢ on the dollar. The FED is not going to be reducing anything as long as you are are breathing.

Folks getting close to retire should read the govt's SS website. For a govt product it is really excellent. And more important: easily navigated and even an easier read.

Adam - "It says right off the bat that there is a yearly earnings limit". No it doesn't. Read again and pay attention to the phrase "full retirement age". And even before FRA there is not limit: you can earn ASD much as you like. But for every $2 over a certain amount you have $1 deducted from you check.

Here, let me spoon feed you. LOL. Directly from that link:

"You can get Social Security retirement benefits and work at the same time. However, if you are younger than full retirement age and make more than the yearly earnings limit, we will reduce your benefit."
