Finance·Money, Jamie Dimon

It is JPMorgan's responsibility to "stay actively engaged" in policy debates that will affect our company" and that doing so is a "constitutional right." You read constantly that banks are lobbying regulators and elected officials as if this is inappropriate. We don't look at it that way.

- Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan Chase CEO, in his annual letter to shareholders, April 4, 2012

But the result of the financial reform has not been intelligent design. Simplicity, clarity and speed would be better for the system and better for the economy.

He(Jamie Dimon)’s combative by nature. And like a lot of these alpha dogs, when he’s backed into a corner, he’s going to bark back.

Finance·Money, Marc Faber

I think that people should own some gold and I think that people should own some equities, because before the collapse will happen, with Mr. Bernanke at the Fed, they're going to print money and print and print and print. So what you can get is a bad economy with rising equity prices.

CNBC: 'Massive Wealth Destruction' Is About to Hit Investors: Faber

Finance·Money, Marc Faber

Somewhere down the line we will have a massive wealth destruction that usually happens either through very high inflation or through social unrest or through war or credit market collapse. Maybe all of it will happen, but at different times.

Finance·Money, Marc Faber

I suppose the world will always develop but that we will always have periods where we have wars and tremendous wealth destruction, or where we have plague and where the population shrinks. I am optimistic about certain issues and pessimistic about others.

Daily Bell: Marc Faber on 21st Century Investing, Why It's Too Late for the Dollar and Why Emerging Markets Look Good

Economy, Marc Faber

Economics is a very complex system and is essentially human life and the behavior of humans. So to build one theory around it is probably wrong.

Daily Bell: Marc Faber on 21st Century Investing, Why It's Too Late for the Dollar and Why Emerging Markets Look Good

Finance·Money, Marc Faber

I think that interest rates in time will be much higher because the fiscal deficit will stay very elevated or even increase and that will impair the ability of the government to pay the interest. If the ability to pay the interest is impaired, there's only one way out and that is for them to print money, and so eventually you will get higher interest rates.

Finance·Money, Ben Bernanke

A central bank should always be able to generate inflation, even when the short-term nominal interest rate is zero ...[this] more direct method, which I personally prefer, would be for the Fed to announce ceilings for yields on all longer-maturity Treasury debt.

- Ben Bernanke, Before the National Economists Club, Washington, D.C., November 21, 2002

Bernanke doctrine (3) Lower interest rates – all the way down to 0 per cent.

Bernanke observed that people have traditionally thought that, when the funds rate hits zero, the Federal Reserve will have run out of ammunition. However, by imposing yields paid by long-term Treasury Bonds.

He noted that Fed had successfully engaged in "bond-price pegging" following the Second World War.
