Quantitative Easing for Dummies: How the Fed Has All of Us Fooled [Editor's Note: Retired hedge-fund manager Shah Gilani is one of the industry's foremost experts on the global financial crisis - and all the worldwide ripple effects that this financial scandal has caused.] By Shah Gilani, Contributing Editor, Money Morning With a second round of "quantitative easing" underway, the U.S. Federal Reserve wants us to believe that it is doing its duty as the nation's central bank – promoting maximum employment, keeping a lid on inflation and making sure that long-term interest rates remain at reasonable levels. This is known as the Fed's "dual mandate," since the inflation and interest-rate objectives are really the same goal. But here's a shocker: The Federal Reserve's real dual mandate is to enrich the banks the central bank is created by and works for – and to cover Congress when its laws enrich banks at the expense of jobless American taxpayers. Understanding how quantitative easing works is simple. Understanding how banks and Congress are manipulating this economic tool is just a tad more complicated. Understanding how quantitative easing will impact your life – and your financial future – is just a matter of understanding the facts For additional insights on the Fed's true workings, please read on... No Money? No Problem. Simple Secret to Retiring Rich Even if You Haven't Saved a Dime "Back in the San Francisco area, there was no way we could afford not to work. We would have burned through our money. And in seven years, I would have been knocking on the door at the Safeway Supermarket, asking for a job in the deli!"

Analysts and Industry Insiders Waving Caution Flags After GM IPO [Editor's Note: If you'd like information on potential GM stock investing strategies, check out a special report that ran in Money Morning earlier today.] By Jason Simpkins, Managing Editor, Money Morning General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) yesterday (Thursday) raised $20.1 billion in an initial public offering (IPO) that moves the company closer to paying back the taxpayer funds it received in a bailout last year. However, GM's journey doesn't end there. Even after all of the IPO money changes hands, the company will still owe the federal government more than $26 billion. And the challenges that drove the company into bankruptcy to begin with – union payouts, tougher competition, and higher gas prices – are still relevant. Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F), Honda Motor Co. (NYSE ADR: HMC), and Toyota Motor Co. (NYSE ADR: TM) remain as well, having avoided bankruptcy all together. Read full story... Money Morning Mailbag We'd like to hear from you!

Spot prices for crude oil and liquefied natural gas, or LNG, have risen disproportionately to the low price of natural gas on the U.S. market. "Why didn't natural gas bounce like its two other energy brethren?" Barnes asked. "That's easy. Once the United States discovered an abundant supply of natural gas in its shale basins, the fear that this country would run out of this critical source of energy basically disappeared. This new supply of natural gas is changing the way the United States views energy. In the past, we expected to have to use imports to meet our energy needs.
