A Monetary Policy Framework for All Seasons

By Allison Jones | Mar 06, 2012

It is a pleasure to be at the U.S. Monetary Policy Forum, which brings together academics, practitioners and market participants to discuss current issues in monetary policy.

There are a few.

Indeed the crisis has shaken the foundations of monetary economics, making this a great time to be an academic but a more challenging one to be a practitioner. The extent to which market participants enjoy the situation appears to fluctuate on a daily basis.

In the crisis economies, policy-makers are battling the possibility of deflation. They are handicapped by transmission mechanisms that are at best impaired and at worst broken. With households and banks in these economies aggressively trying to delever, output gaps remain large and hysteresis threatens.

As a consequence, the horizons of monetary policy have been expanded dramatically. The Federal Reserve has been appropriately and effectively radical by implementing a range of powerful unconventional tools.

Managing Money to Stay in the Market

By Kenneth Moore | Mar 04, 2012

Traders love military metaphors: they keep copies of Art of War on their bookshelves and talk about attacking the market. And, they need to keep some powder dry.

You cant trade if you dont have money. Margin will only get you so far; you have to have some cash in your account before the broker will extend you credit. Money management is the process of determining how much of your account you should place on each trade, and it can make or break you as a trader. The better you manage your account, the more profits you can gain from your winning trades. You will be able to keep powder dry so that you can charge forward another day.

Risk, Return, and Ruin

Obviously, you trade in order to make money. Still, every trader has losing trades, bad streaks, and negative returns. The down periods can be long and miserable, too, but you can survive them. The trick is to have more winners than losers.

Why the U.S. Isn’t Greece, and Why We Could Become Greece If We’re Not Careful

By Thomas Lee | Feb 29, 2012

I am writing this on a Greek island, looking out at 10 other islands and the blue Aegean Sea. A cruise ship that often docks at Port Everglades is passing by, headed for Mykonos, eight miles to the east. The scene couldn’t be more beautiful. It also couldn’t be more deceiving. Greece, and with it its European neighbors and indeed the entire world’s financial system, are in trouble, mostly of their own making. Governments in the outer rim of the Eurozone (the 17 countries using the common European currency), have lived beyond their means for the last decade, and the bill is now coming due. The rating agencies, which formerly rated their bonds AAA just like they did the mortgages of unqualified homeowners right here in the U.S.A., are belatedly changing their ratings to junk. The bankers in Germany, France, and the other core European countries who lent recklessly to these countries are trying to salvage what they can and looking to their own governments for help. Even
