Yes, but you the aim is not to get caught.

You can get caught, just not first. They shoot the first one and then give everyone else free money.

I mean to a certain extent. Wasn’t this the bank that was caught with safety deposit boxes designed for max cash holdings for the cartel or was that DB?

I’m getting my banks mixed up a bit with their scandals but I’m sure the regulators will straighten them all out. 😕😕😏

Lol, HSBC’s SENIOR Economic Advisor Stephen King said that’s exactly what it is. The last two paragraphs of the article:

“What [quantitative easing] encourages you to do is effectively raise funds very cheaply and invest in all kinds of assets that might be doing very well for a short period of time,” King said.

“But when you begin to recognize that you’ve got an inflation problem and start to raise rates very very rapidly as we’ve seen over the course of the last couple of years, then a lot of those financial bets begin to go rather badly wrong.”

Jfc. Senior Advisor my ass.

Man’s salaried in the $millions/yr to ”advise” his people to fuckin gamble all day at work.

"It’s a bit like having an enemy bombing raid and you turn off your radar systems — you can’t see the bombers coming along, so effectively it’s the same thing, you nationalize the bond markets, bond markets can’t respond to initial increases in inflation, and by the time central banks spot it, it’s too late, which is exactly what I think has happened over the last two or three years.”

Could someone explain it to me? It's from the article.

I think what they mean is that the yield curve is a good indicator of economic things and the central banks made it useless by propping up the bond market via QE.
