The 'Helicopter Economics Investing Guide' is meant to help educate people on how to make profitable investing choices in the current economic environment. In addition to the term helicopter economics, we have also coined the term, helicopternomics, to describe the current monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. government and to update the old-fashioned term wheelbarrow economics.
While Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke was making repeated announcements that the subprime problem was contained and wouldn't have far reaching effects, the New York Investing meetup had other thoughts.
In his now famous June 5, 2007 speech to the International Monetary Conference, Bernanke stated, "... at this point, the troubles in the subprime sector seem unlikely to seriously spill over to the broader economy or financial system." The New York Investing meetup, which doesn't automatically accept any pronouncements from Washington or Wall Street, quickly came to
the opposite conclusion. Cyberspace was filling up with stories of rapidly rising foreclosures, dropping housing prices, faltering hedge funds, and problems in the debt market. In the July 11, 2007 meeting, the New York Investing meetup warned its membership that the subprime crisis was about to explode and would cause serious damage to the stock market. In less than two weeks, the accuracy of the New York Investing meetup's take on the subprime crises was vindicated. The stock market would fall until mid-August.
