BANKS HOARDING CHEAP FED MONEY ... STILL

According to the Federal Reserve of St. Louis, in spite of all the trillions of dollars in cheap money dumped into the financial institutions after they helped collapse the economy in 2008, the banks are not loaning the money out. They're sitting on it.

This is not a good sign. Not good at all.
