Another Government Subsidized "Green" Car Battery Maker Files For Bankruptcy

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2013 - 15:14

In a long and proud tradition started by Solyndra and A123, and going through such Tesla ancestors as the Fisker Karma and Coda, the US government continues to demonstrate that when it comes to misallocating capital, albeit in (or due to) the pursuit of noble "green" causes, it has no peer. Fast forward to today, when we find that the latest casualty of a world in which ridiculous business models and lack of cash flows does not result in an Amazon-esque happy ending, is Eco(fa)tality, a maker of batteries and Blink charging stations for electric cars, which overnight filed for bankruptcy. If fact, do not pass go, do not pretend to have anything even remotely close to a sustainable business mode, and go straight to a liquidation auction.

Guest Post: The Fed's Double-Bind

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2013 - 14:24

The Federal Reserve is in a classic double-bind: as its policies to boost growth bear fruit, interest rates rise, threatening the very recovery the Fed has lavished trillions of dollars of quantitative easing (QE) to generate. Put another way: if growth is needed to boost corporate sales and profits, but growth leads to higher interest rates and reduced central-bank suppport of markets, this is a double-bind with no exit.

India Escalates Gold Capital Controls, Hikes Duty On Gold Jewerly Imports To 15%

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2013 - 13:59

Over the past year, India has unleashed the most unprecedented series of gold "capital controls" ever seen in a modern nation, shy of confiscation (and even that may be imminent). Today, India added yet another more measure to its list of prohibitions that seek to minimize the size of the gold market available to citizens, yet which will only result in even more interest and demand in the yellow metal. As Reuters reports, India increased its import duty on gold jewellery from 10 percent to 15 percent, setting it higher than the duty on raw gold in a move to protect the domestic jewellery industry. Why is the government doing this? Simple: "To protect the interests of small artisans, the customs duty on articles of jewellery ... is being increased," the ministry said.

Brazil Bails On US State Visit Over Illegal Spying; Demands "Full Public Apology"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2013 - 13:41

While the White House is trying to play this down currently in the press conference, Brazil's President Rousseff has issued a statement postponing her trip to the US due to the illegal espionage of the Americans:

   *BRAZIL SAYS U.S. HASN'T PROVIDED ADEQUATE EXPLANATION ON SPYING

   *BRAZIL'S SAYS IT NEEDS U.S. EXPLANATION BEFORE STATE VISIT

   *BRAZIL SAYS U.S. ILLEGAL MONITORING OF GOVT, COS. IS 'SERIOUS'

   *BRAZIL PRESIDENT ROUSSEFF POSTPONES STATE VISIT TO THE U.S.

According to AP, Obama spoke to Rouseff on the phone but that didn't do it as the Brazilian President demanded a full public apology.

Japan: Boldly Going Where Not Even The Fed Will Go Anymore

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2013 - 13:03

Today's TIC data showed something disturbing: for the fourth month in a row, foreigners were net sellers of US Treasury paper in July , as total foreign holdings declined from $5.600 trillion to $5.590 trillion which represents 49% of total marketable debt (including the debt owned by the Fed of course). In other words, since peaking at $5.724 trillion in March, foreign-held debt has declined by $134 billion, at a time when yields have surged on fears the Fed's tapering of its own purchases of bonds will mean less Fed frontrunning opportunities. However, it is only when broken down by gross purchaser, that we see just who is to thank for this surge in buying of Treasury paper in the month of July. One look at the chart below should explain it...

What Happened The Last Time Equity And Bond Risk Decoupled?

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2013 - 12:43

Equity markets were quietly confident that no matter what the mortgage market did, the Fed would save them in 2007. Bond markets had already got a little nervous as collateral squeezes and forced liquidations had led to a large jump in bond risk relative to equity risk - but again this was eschewed by any number of equity long-only managers and their non-money-managing partners-in-crime - the sell-side strategist - who confirmed that any dip should be bought and the increased risk in bonds was exactly the catalyst to rotate to stocks for the long-term. Fast-forward $8 trillion and five years and the patterns of bond and equity risk look awfully similar - as does the echo chamber of status quo opinion at the 'events' facing the market. History may not repeat, but we suspect it will at least rhyme here...

Hilsenrath Highlights The Fed's Taper Trilemma

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2013 - 11:25

While the issue of whether they will or won't taper is certainly still not clear, the WSJ's John Hilsenrath notes that the other dilemma facing the Fed is whether to reduce their purchases of Treasurys, mortgage-backed securities or both. According to officials, Hilsenrath notes, there were two lines of thinking at the Fed on how to structure a pullback from the bond programs and the issue would be discussed at the meeting. Goldman's Jan Hatzius has posited that "Fed leadership probably views MBS purchases as more effective in boosting economic activity than Treasury purchases," but as Hilsenrath notes, some Fed officials prefer a simpler-to-communicate strategy of proportional cutbacks to both MBS and Treasuries. The fact that Hilsy is reporting this suggests that a Taper is somewhat inevitable - as we have noted since the Fed remains cornered. On average, the market expects a $6bn taper on Treasuries and $3 billion for MBS.

Tomorrow, A Process Will Be Started...

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2013 - 11:14

A very soon tomorrow will bring the decision of the Fed concerning tapering into focus. Ok, a kind of fuzzy, hard to see and wispy focus. The one thing that we can assure you of is that whatever is to come our way it will not be a singular event. You will hear from the imbibers of Cool Aid and other mischievous reality altering drinks that it could be a one-off event. Tomorrow a process will be started, it will probably go in fits and starts but do not blind yourself; it will be the beginning of the journey to cut back on the propping up of the markets by the Fed.

Spot The Cyclical Recovery (In Poverty Rates And Income...)

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2013 - 10:49

The U.S. Census Bureau announced today that in 2012, real median household income and the poverty rate were not statistically different from the previous year.  The 88-page report (found here) contains a plethora of statistical data, slicing and dicing income and poverty data by race, gender, and so on but in order to see through the haze, the following three charts sum it all up perfectly (sadly). The poverty rate in the US is stable at 15% - practically the highest since the mid 1960s and real household incomes are stagnant at 1997 levels. Spot the cyclical recovery...

What Is The FOMC Watching?

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2013 - 10:34

The July statement from the FOMC presented the following snapshot of the economy, "Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in June suggests that economic activity expanded at a modest pace during the first half of the year. Labor market conditions have shown further improvement in recent months..." but as Stone McCarthy notes, tomorrow's FOMC post-meeting statement could well be less upbeat in tone, with hints of a slowing in the pace of improvements in the labor market, housing, consumer and business spending, and inflation remaining well below the 2% goal. A look at the housing and spending data certainly raises eyebrows but it is clear that the Fed remains cornered by deficits, sentiment, technicals, and international ire.

Homebuilder Sentiment Misses By Most Since April

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2013 - 10:10

Prospective buyer traffic rose in all regions but the National Association of Homebuilders key sentiment index missed Bloomberg median expectations by the most since April. Future single-family home sales expectations dropped notably and this is the first time since April that the index has not risen. One data point does not make a trend change but given mortgage rates, mortgage apps, and home sales, and now the expectations for future sales, it will be hard for many to keep the housing recovery dream alive... even if the Fed rolls back all their Taper talk and doubles-down on QE...

Blast From The Past: Five Years Ago On This Day, Bad News Was... Bad News

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2013 - 09:51

A snapshot of the top Bloomberg news from five years ago shows something very unusual - an entire screen of negative headlines. Of course, back then, bad news was indeed bad news... in our new normal, a smorgasbord of cataclysmic event, terrorism, and systemic risk possibilities would likely be reason to BTFATH as it guarantees the Fed will come to the rescue... (just as they did eventually last time).

The Percentage Of Americans That Consider Themselves To Be “Lower Class” Is At An All-Time High

Do you consider yourself to be "lower class"?  Most Americans wouldn't dream of thinking that way.  Even at the toughest times of my own life, I always considered myself to be "middle class".  Traditionally, the vast majority of Americans have described themselves as either "middle class" or "working class", but now we are witnessing a huge shift.  According to survey results that were just released, the percentage of Americans that identify themselves as "lower class" is now at an all-time high.  It is still only 8.4 percent of the country, but the fact that this number is rapidly growing shows that something is changing on a very fundamental level.  In America today, less people than ever believe that they have the opportunity to make a better life for themselves, and according to a brand new Gallup poll that was just released, 20 percent of all Americans did not have enough money to buy food that they or their families needed at some point over the past year.  We have 47 million people on food stamps and we have more than 100 million Americans enrolled in at least one welfare program, and that does not even count Social Security or Medicare.  We have gone from a "land of opportunity" to a land where tens of millions of people are being crushed by the system.

25 Fast Facts About The Federal Reserve – Please Share With Everyone You Know

As we approach the 100 year anniversary of the creation of the Federal Reserve, it is absolutely imperative that we get the American people to understand that the Fed is at the very heart of our economic problems.  It is a system of money that was created by the bankers and that operates for the benefit of the bankers.  The American people like to think that we have a "democratic system", but there is nothing "democratic" about the Federal Reserve.  Unelected, unaccountable central planners from a private central bank run our financial system and manage our economy.  There is a reason why financial markets respond with a yawn when Barack Obama says something about the economy, but they swing wildly whenever Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke opens his mouth.  The Federal Reserve has far more power over the U.S. economy than anyone else does by a huge margin.  The Fed is the biggest Ponzi scheme in the history of the world, and if the American people truly understood how it really works, they would be screaming for it to be abolished immediately.  The following are 25 fast facts about the Federal Reserve that everyone should know...

They Denied That We Were In A Depression In 1933 And They Are Doing It Again In 2013

The more things change, the more things stay the same.  The Great Depression actually started in 1929, but as you will see below, as late as 1933 the Associated Press was still pumping out lots of news stories with optimistic economic headlines and many Americans still did not believe that we were actually in a depression.  And of course we are experiencing a very similar thing today.  The United States is in the worst financial shape that it has ever been in, our economic infrastructure is being systematically gutted, and poverty is absolutely exploding.  Since the stock market crash of 2008, the Federal Reserve has been wildly printing money and the federal government has been running trillion dollar deficits in a desperate attempt to stabilize things, but in the process they have made our long-term economic problems far worse.  It would be hard to overstate how dire our situation is, and yet the mainstream media continues to assure us that everything is just fine and that happy days are here again.

Nation Of Sickos: Should We Be Concerned About The Moral Collapse Of America?

 How bad does it have to get before we admit that America is an absolute cesspool of filth and wickedness?  The horrific Navy Yard shooting that took place on Monday is yet another reminder that the thin veneer of civilization that we all take for granted is rapidly disappearing.  At this point, nobody is fully safe anywhere in the United States at any time.  Sadly, the Navy Yard shooting was far from an isolated incident.  Every day, there are news reports that detail some of the most heinous crimes that you could possibly imagine.  In this article, you are going to read about incredibly disturbing things that sickos have done to animals, young children and elderly Americans.  The goal is not to entertain you.  Rather, I hope to spark a discussion about the moral collapse of America.  The United States has become a nation of perverts, sickos and psychopaths, and we need to ask ourselves some very honest questions about why this is happening.  No matter what other solutions we may come up with politically and economically, this country is not going to have any kind of a future unless we are able to address the moral decay that is rotting the foundations of this nation at an absolutely astounding pace.

The Top 10 Questions About Twitter's Real Value

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/16/2013 - 20:43

The number whispered on Wall Street is $10 billion (or $14-$15 if you ask The Saudis), but potential investors in the micro-blogger’s IPO will need more to go on than simple valuation math and guided judgment.  As ConvergEx's Nick Colas notes, Tech firms are particularly dependent on innovation and human capital for their viability. So while Twitter may come out with a double-digit billion dollar IPO, Colas points out the most important question – Is it actually worth buying there?  The bottom line to the success of thriving tech companies (historically names such as Amazon, Google and Apple) is that they consistently and reliably build products that people want to purchase and use.  Colas explores multiple avenues to determine whether Twitter has the engine to do this, or whether it could emerge more “Groupon” than “Google” in the public company tech arena – and the answer lies in how you weigh the pros and cons of our top 10 points related to the social network’s IPO.

War
Is Coming: 10 Reasons Why A Diplomatic Solution To The Syria Crisis Is
Extremely Unlikely

Over the past few days, there has
been a tremendous wave of optimism that it may be possible for war with Syria
to be averted.  Unfortunately, it appears that a diplomatic solution to
the crisis in Syria is extremely unlikely.  Assad is certainly willing to
give up his chemical weapons, but he wants the U.S. to accept a bunch of
concessions that it will never agree to.  And it certainly sounds like the
Obama administration has already decided that “diplomacy” is going to fail, and
they continue to position military assets for the upcoming conflict with
Syria.  Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey are all going to
continue to heavily pressure the Obama administration.  They have invested
a huge amount of time and resources into the conflict in Syria, and they
desperately want the U.S. military to intervene.  Fortunately,
overwhelming domestic and global opposition to an attack on Syria has slowed
down the march toward war for the moment, but unfortunately that probably will
not be enough to stop it completely.  The following are ten reasons why
war is almost certainly coming… (Read More.....)
