Why Do We Need Reserves?

"Emerging markets burn through currency reserves as crisis risks grow," notes the Wall Street Journal. But what sticks in Mr. Jeff Snider's craw is that there's no mention as to why this is. To ask the question would move the Federal Reserve out of the media's glowing spotlight.

****DISCLOSURES****
Jeffrey Snider (The Promoter) is acting as a promoter for an investment advisory firm, Atlas Financial Advisors, Inc. (AFA). Jeffrey Snider is affiliated with AFA as a promoter only and is not in any way giving investment advice or recommendations on behalf of AFA. The Promoter is being compensated by a fee arrangement: The Promoter will receive compensation on a quarterly basis, based on the increase in account openings that can be reasonably attributed to the Promoter's activity. The Promoter will not be receiving a portion of any advisory fees. The Promoter has an incentive to recommend the Adviser because the Promoter is being compensated. The opinions expressed on this site and in these videos are those solely of Jeffrey Snider and Eurodollar University and do not represent those of AFA.

****DISCLOSURES****
Emil Kalinowski is acting as three-ring circus ring master; he can neither confirm nor deny the presence of nuclear weapons on this show. Mister Kalinowski is neither employed by AFA nor does he receive any compensation from AFA -- not even the expensive gift basket that comes with those fancy nuts. El señor Kalinowski does not offer investment advice. Nevertheless should you torture a statement by him into taking on the form of advice, or perhaps the shape of a suggestion -- let's even say a contortion resembling a hint -- AND then act on le monsieur Kalinowski's 'recommendations'?  Well, YOU WILL LOSE MONEY! Even if you do the opposite of o senhor Kalinowski's 'advice' you will ALSO lose money -- it is some kind of a paradox (both the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Securities and Exchange Commission are investigating). The Kalinowski's only guidance is that you do not listen to him for any purpose other than deep, rapid eye movement sleep.
