By David Haggith, The Daily Doom

Bullish For Gold: Yellen’s Appointment Merges The Treasury With The Fed

By Dave Kranzler, Mining Stock Journal

The appointment of Janet Yellen as Treasury Secretary fully removes the “Chinese Wall” that is supposed to separate the Fed and the Government. I believe her appointment signals a decision to transition monetary policy into the unfettered implementation of “Modern Monetary Theory.”
