The Federal Reserve in the new media, and other viral sensations.

February 17 2007

Ron Paul and Bernake. Ron Paul is very critical of the federal reserve. He is harshly critical of the the Fed's core functions and stated purpose, monetary policy. One has to wonder how useful such criticism in the regular meeting of the House committee on Financial Services.

Results:

It made Ron Paul very popular on YouTube and that's good for his campaign. (Often posted with poppy titles such as 'Ron Paul gives it to the Fed')

here is a viral version from YouTube you can find the full from CSpan

the year we learned what a cdo is



If this was the year that many readers — not to mention financial reporters — learned what C.D.O., M.B.S. and SIV stood for, 2008 could be the year of C.D.S. and C.L.O. (For those who came in late, those abbreviations from 2007 are shorthand for collateralized debt obligations, mortgage-backed securities and structured investment vehicles. The new ones are credit default swaps and collateralized loan obligations — a special kind of C.D.O. backed by corporate loans.)
