Stepping Aside Because I Can Always
Buy Back In Leigh Drogen ‘I sold out of everything this
morning, for a few reasons. Either I’ve been in the wrong names or just caught
a bad tape there, either way my long exposure was not performing the way it
should have been. One after another I’ve seen gains get torn away from me by
stocks gapping down overnight on news or whatever it may be. Frankly, it
doesn’t matter, the only thing that does is the bottom line. It’s ok to be
wrong in this business, in fact my trading style is wrong almost half the time,
the key is to take your stops and move on, because at the end of the day the
winners, if you play them right, will far and away make up for the half of your
trades that don’t work.
First, breakouts don’t always work and momentum stocks have a habit of
ending their trends abruptly.
Second, I can always step back in, I don’t run 5 billion dollars, I
don’t move stocks, I can buy back in this afternoon if I change my mind (not
likely). I see more risk to the downside here than I do to the upside. Short
term the market doesn’t look bad, we are still above a rising 5 day moving
average and pushing up against a big resistance level going back to June. But,
in the larger scheme of things I don’t think we crack this level on the first
shot, I think we need a pullback here to regroup and gain more energy. As well,
on the intermediate term time frame, the market is showing a rising wedge
technical pattern, a bearish pattern. No, I’m not calling here for a complete
roll over as I did back in early April, I’m just saying that the risk here is
to the downside and with my underperformance as of late I’m just not confident
enough to be pushing the pedal to the floor at these levels.
Third, the jobs number tomorrow scares me. No, it doesn’t matter what
the number is, we all know it’s going to be bad, what matters is how the market
reacts, and I have the feel it’s not going to be good.
Fourth, many of my oscillators are overbought here.
Fifth, and finally, I don’t like the fact that this rally has primarily
taken place on the back of the most beaten down sectors. We haven’t seen tech,
the leader, make a big move. The oil service names, steel names, agriculture
names, and transports have fueled this rally. They were very very oversold in
early July and needed to bounce, now that they have reverted back to the mean
so to speak, what now? Where is the next leadership, I still don’t see rotation
back into tech, the semis are still stuck in the mud and breakouts in momentum
names are failing.
It all just doesn’t pass the smell test for me. I’ve been successful at this
not because I’m always right, but because I know when I’m wrong and I’m willing
to change course or step aside. Right now, I’ll step aside.’
Were Unemployment Claims Really So 'Unexpected'?
YAHOO [BRIEFING.COM]:
‘A bleak weekly jobless claims count caused consternation ahead of tomorrow's
pivotal nonfarm payrolls report. Stocks responded by plodding along with modest
losses for the entire session. Initial jobless claims for the week ended July
31 to a three-month high of 479,000, which was worse than the expected initial
claims count of 455,000. Continuing claims came down 34,000 from the prior
week, but they remain at uncomfortably high levels above 4.5 million. Even
though the weekly claims figures will not play a part in the calculation of the
July payrolls report, which is due tomorrow, the data stirred concern that the
report might not show the improvement that some had hoped for following a
better-than-expected ADP Employment Change reading yesterday …’

MARKET DIRECTION
Stock averages improve late to end barely down. Wall Street traded in soggy
fashion after a surprise rise in weekly jobless benefits applications and mixed
retail sales results. Plus, caution persists ahead of Friday's jobs report. Oil
closed down 0.6% though ending off session lows. September futures settled at
$82.01 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Natural gas for September
delivery slumped 3% to close at $4.60 per million British thermal units.
Natural gas futures lost grip of earlier gains despite a government report
showing a smaller-than-expected increase in inventories for the week ended July
30. Stocks have gained without much of a pause since hitting lows for the year
on July 2. The broad S&P 500 is up 10% since that day. Earnings news
continues to be largely supportive but economic data can be sobering. The
number of people applying for initial unemployment benefits climbed by 19,000
to 479,000 in the latest week. Economists expected a drop in claims. The less-volatile
four-week average of initial claims rose by 5,250 to 453,250. The number of
workers who continue to receive state unemployment checks, meanwhile, fell by
34,000 to 4.54 million in the week ended July 24, the latest data available.
Economists polled by Reuters are expecting Friday's U.S. Labor Department
report to show a drop of 65,000 in non-farm payrolls in July as temporary U.S.
Census Bureau jobs dried up. Private employers are expected to have added
90,000 jobs. Consumers remain one of the bigger question marks in the recovery.
Retailers reported July same-store sales results today. The 28 retailers
tracked by Thomson Reuters reported July same-store sales rose only 2.9%, short
of analysts' expectations for a 3.1% gain.
Costco Wholesale Corp. (COST) and
Limited Brands Inc.(LTD)
reported big jumps in July sales, but the gain was deceiving because last
year's results were poor. Costco is down 1.83% and Limited is up 0.42%. In company news, the Android software from
Google Inc. (GOOG) will likely outpace Apple Inc.'s (AAPL) iPhone in the number of phones in use
worldwide by 2012, reports tech industry research firm iSuppli. Android
software will likely reside in 75 million smart phones by then while iPhone will
be used in 62 million, according to the report. Drugmakers led by Pfizer Inc. (PFE) could soon be able to shrink the amount
of time it takes to test a drug's safety by months to years after it, along
with other companies, get access to a new testing system, according to
Bloomberg. That could add millions of dollars in revenue and savings on
research, according to the report. The new system uses computers to test
produicts against human and animal cells instead of living organisms and was
developed by the federal government, the report says. The June quarter earnings
season rolled from yesterday's after-hours session to this morning before the
bell. Viacom Inc. (VIA) is
struggling in the red in early trading, down 1.56%, but off its early low of
$37.06, after reporting Q2 net income of $420 million, or 69 cents per share,
compared with $277 million, or 46 cents per share, last year. Analysts were
looking for a consensus 66 cents per share on Thomson Reuters. Overall revenue
was flat at $3.3 billion, below analysts' call for $3.4 billion.Meanwhile, The
Gymboree Corp. (GYMB) reports Q2
sales of $219.3 mln, below the analyst mean of $233 million on Thomson Reuters.
Hartford Financial Services (HIG)
shares are down sharply on earlier news the seller of life insurance said
earnings per share for the year would be $2.10 to $2.30 this year instead of
the previous target of $2.70 to $3, according to a Bloomberg report. Second
quarter income was $76 million or $0.14 a share compared with a loss of $15
million or $0.06. Playboy Enterprises (PLA) shares are lower after the company said
June quarter losses were wider than expected due to declines in revenue from
print and digital segments, according to a Reuters report. Net loss at the
company narrowed to $5.4 million, or 16 cents per share, from $8.7 million, or
26 cents per share, a year ago. Still, analysts were expecting a loss of $0.15 a
share on sales of $58 million, according to Thomson Reuters.

’… Will Anything Stop the Market? Something Did
… At the same
time, the April numbers were lowered the second time by an additional 24,000
units, while May sales were revised lower by 33,000 units. To summarize, April
and May sales were reduced by 57,000 units. Therefore, June sales were 24%
above May sales. By the way, May sales were the lowest on record. Is this
really reason to celebrate? But wait, there's more. The S&P
Case-Shiller Composite Home Price Index inched from 144.59 to 146.43 for May, a
1.25% increase. Many are unaware that the Case-Shiller Home Price Index is a
three month average and is released with a two month lag. The most recent
3-month average as of May included the period when buyers still received their
$8,000 tax credit. As the chart below shows, despite a 80%+ rally in equities,
trillions worth of stimulus money, $8,000 home-buyers tax credit, and a lot of
hot air, the Case-Shiller Index has only risen 6 points, or 5.15%, from its
March 2009 low and remains 30% below its 2006 high. [chart]
Banks' Toxic Assets: It's no secret that the economy started choking because
banks gorged on toxic real estate assets. As the real estate related losses
piled up, banks got into trouble and started hording their meager funds and
lending dried up. Since then, banks have taken free government money and
invested it in various Treasuries. Even yields for short and long-term
treasuries (NYSEArca: TLT - News)
have fallen, and banks have been earning interest without risk, while
businesses can't obtain funding. Another income source for banks has been
securities trading. But, since stocks have fallen, so have banks' trading
revenue, meanwhile banks' real estate portfolios remain unchanged. Unemployment
is persistent and foreclosures continue to soar. Thus far, free interest and
rising stocks have covered up the losses racked up by banks' portfolios of
toxic assets. But the weak link (falling real estate prices) has not been
fixed. Once pressure is put on the chain, it will break again. The problems
within the financial sector have been visible all along. 106 banks, many of
them regional banks (NYSEArca: KRE - News),
have failed already in 2010. At the same time last year, only 65 banks failed.
An additional 775 banks are on the FDIC's problem bank list. Unlike Wall Street
and the financial media, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter bothers to take a
look under the hood and examine the engines that drive the economy. It's quite
obvious that a number of pistons have blown, the engine is sputtering but the
car is rolling downhill. Once the next hill comes, the car (aka the economy)
will come to a standstill. AAA can't fix blown pistons, neither can the
government.

Warning Signs Suggest Market Headed for Another Collapse
In early January 2008, I had a very troubling conversation with
my colleague at Matrix Analytix regarding a significant warning sign suggesting
that a major crisis loomed on the horizon of the equity markets that year. The
content of our conversation was focused on the implications of a massive
one-year head & shoulders on the S&P 500 (SPY). The issue consistently
pervaded my mind because if what the equity markets seemed to signal was true,
we were probably headed for a major collapse. I remember asking him
specifically, “Can this be for real? What are the implications of a head &
shoulders of that magnitude completely unwinding?”My colleague all but
confirmed my concerns even pointing to a potential culprit for the impending
downturn. He had noted that the markets had all but brushed off early warnings
of systemic risk and liquidity concerns posed by the potential failure of
subprime MBS’s that August, and that such concerns were likely to resurface in
2008. I, for one, didn’t really care what the potential culprit may be. For me,
the fact that market technicals suggested that an impending failure was drawing
near formed the basis of my concerns.The fact that market participants,
investors, and the mainstream media continued to put their heads in the sand
and ignore such blatant signs of the broader market was simply unacceptable. At
the time, the S&P 500 had rallied nearly 35% over the past 2 years. There
was rampant discussion of Dow (DIA) 18,000 as the market continued to “benefit”
from the so-called “Goldilocks economy.” Almost everyone was either oblivious
to the warning signs of the broader market or simply decided to ignore them.
Turn the page to
today, and it’s the same story all over again. While investors, fund managers,
and the mainstream financial media debate whether we’re headed for a double-dip
recession, they simply continue to disregard the obvious technical damage done
on the broader market. Once again, this article is not so much concerned with
the potential fundamental reasons or theories advanced as to why the markets
might unravel. Instead, I’m more concerned with what the broader market seems
to be telling me about the immediate future.
One can find no
shortage of fundamental or mechanical theories explaining what might form the
basis of a future financial collapse published at Zero Hedge, by Nassim
Nicholas Taleb, Nouriel Roubini or Karl Denninger. In fact, I buy into a lot of
the evidence presented by these sources, and believe that one gains a better
grasp of financial reality spending 10 minutes with Zero Hedge than spending 2
weeks listening to the mainstream financial media. It is laughable to compare
the vacant drivel coming out of Dennis Kneale to even one single article
published by Tyler Durden or Ryan Iskander.
Once again, right now
I’m focused on what the trading activity in the broader market seems to be
telling me rather than on what the fundamentals of the economy or the
mechanical structure of the markets indicate. The techncials suggest, as they
did in early 2008, that there is something fundamentally wrong with the
financial markets and that a collapse, whatever the fundamental reasons may be,
is potentially drawing near. There are seven issues I’ll briefly discuss below,
and why it's imperative that my readers should explore these issues in more
detail.
1. HEAD &
SHOULDERS ON THE S&P 500, DOW JONES, AND NASDAQ
The biggest warning
sign the market seems to be giving us right now is the blatant 10-month head
& shoulders formation seen on each of the major indices. Like in 2008, a
massive head & shoulders of this magnitude is not something that investors
ought to take lightly. Millions chose to ignore this warning sign in 2008 at
their peril. I’m not going to sit here and belabor the point as I’ve already
written extensively on this topic, which could be found here.Yet, to summarize,
a head & shoulders formation is arguably the most bearish technical
formation in the books. The time, breadth and size of this head & shoulders
is exactly the same as what we saw in early 2008 just before entering the
biggest bear market in modern history …
[chart]
2. BULLISH FLAG ON
THE VIX?
Almost as important
as the head & shoulders on every broad market index and exchange is the
huge bullish flag on the VIX, VXN and VXX (VXX). Volatility looks like it's
about to explode higher in the September to October time frame. A convergence
of the upper and lower trend lines appears to take place near the end of
August. This certainly does not bode well for the markets. An explosion of
volatility can only be viewed as conclusively negative for the markets. We
can’t have a massive spike in volatility without a coinciding collapse in the
equity markets …
[chart]
3.
THE DEATH-CROSS ON THE S&P SUGGESTS THE 2009 TO 2010 RALLY MIGHT BE OVER
This topic has
already been written about quite extensively over the past few weeks. As you
may or may not be aware, the 50-day moving average crossed under the 200-day on
the S&P 500 signaling that the March 2009 to April 2010 bull market might
be at an end. When the 50 and 200 days cross in this manner, it suggests that
the overall trend has weakened to such a degree that the recent price action is
viewed as a topping process for the markets. We saw this exact same bearish cross
on the S&P 500 in early January 2008 right at the start of the great bear
market. You can read more about the death-cross here, here and here …
4. THE VOLUMELESS
RALLY & MUTUAL FUND OUTFLOWS
Arguably one of the
biggest warning signs suggesting that the entire 2009 to 2010 advance is just a
bear market rally arises from the fact that the move was done on increasingly
less volume. The clear lack of conviction indicates that the move was
orchestrated by very few market participants. Some have advocated that the 2009
to 2010 rally was performed under the complete control of the federal reserve
or by high frequency traders in either a ploy to combat deflation or by fixing
the odds of the market to favor the very few. If Goldman Sachs (GS) posting
gains every day in Q1 isn’t enough evidence that the game is fixed, I don’t
know what is.
Every down move in
the market is done on massive volume, and every up move on little to no volume.
Each day of the February to April melt-up rally was easy to predict. When volume
tanks, the market rises and volume picks up, the market tanks. What kind of
no-conviction fraudulent market rallies on zero volume and tanks on heavy
volume? Even the July bounce to this correction was done on low volume. Down
days in July exhibited huge volume while up days saw declining participation.
This lack of
conviction in the equity markets is further evidenced by the disconcertingly
significant mutual fund outflows seen over the past year. Tyler Durden notes in
an article posted at Zero Hedge last week:
The latest update
from ICI is a doozy: in the week ended July 21, domestic equity mutual funds
saw a 12th sequential outflow of $1.5 billion. Even as the market has surged
10% in the last three weeks, just under $10 billion have been redeemed from
mutual funds, completely invalidating the move and further justifying the
skeptics who see absolutely no reflection to reality in the volumeless ramp
orchestrated by a few momentum HFTs and a couple of Primary Dealers with some
excess leftover Discount Window change. Not to mention that 12 weeks in a row
of outflows pretty much marks game over as far as retail participation is
concerned in stocks…
[chart]
5. 1,000 POINT FLASH
CRASHES
Adding to the
concerns of low volume and mutual fund outflows, if 1,000-point inter-day
swings in the Dow doesn’t raise a clear red flag to investors that the
mechanics of the market is under fire, then clearly nothing can convince the
average investor to consider caution in the coming months. Whether the
so-called “flash-crash” was the result of some questionable “fat-finger” trade
or the result of everyone putting in stop losses at the same level on the
S&P (which I warned about 7-minutes prior to the crash see here) is
anyone’s guess…

Stocks' Late Push: Some
Optimism, Some Pessimism [Late
push … as in a constipated bowel movement … Come on! Another one of those push
the computer programmed trade button and off we go, reality / valuation /
economics be damned. In real security analysis (very simplified / summarized),
as opposed to the continued frauds on wall street, one must begin with the
largest and most significant aggregate (a simple word picture / analogy:
‘rising tide lifts all boats’). If you get this right, the probabilities in
your favor are substantially enhanced. From there, you want leading industries,
and leading companies within said leading industries (again, larger aggregates
then picks, to enhance probabilities, not guarantees, in your favor). Your time
frame, 1-3-5 yrs tops for projections, (including income statement/EPS, balance
sheet, and applying an appropriate P/E – a detailed, multi-faceted approach
beyond what could be described in this summary); and, that’s all they are,
projections. Beyond that time frame, your guess. On fraudulent wall street,
every day, though already discounted in large part (6-8 mos, approx.), the
market spins, churns, and with lightning fast computerized high-frequency trade
programs commissions in huge volumes like no other time in financial history
when real valuation meant something, with no net economic value added, but very
lucrative to the frauds on wall street, which ultimately is a net detriment to
the economy / the nation /and other industries as we’ve seen and as described
elsewhere on this site and in these posts http://albertpeia.com . Preposterously, they
even sometimes refer to seasonal factors as if hearing them for the first time
and ‘explaining’ an up move (almost invariably already discounted). Today, they
shrugged off the deepening economic reality despite the election year frothing
/ manipulations. This is a global depression. This is a secular bear market
in a global depression. The past up move was a manipulated bull (s***) cycle in
a secular bear market. This has been a typically manipulated bubble as has
preceded the prior crashes with great regularity that the wall street frauds
and insiders commission and sell into. This is a typical wall street churn and
earn pass the hot potato scam / fraud as in prior crashes’. This national
decline, economic and otherwise, will not end until justice is served and the
wall street frauds et als are criminally prosecuted, jailed, fined, and

Marc Faber Questions if Dow
Could Hit 1,000 In the August edition of the ‘The Gloom, Boom

on his interpretation of Elliot Waves, Fibonacci numbers and socioeconomic
trends. Prechter, who has written 13
books on finance (external link), believes
that the stock market is historically overvalued in terms of dividends and
earnings, because of a “great rise in positive social mood.” But the mood
changed in 2000 and the “trend toward negative social mood will lead to an
economic contraction,” according to Prechter. “Small bear markets lead to
recessions, big bear markets lead to depressions. The current bear market will
be the biggest in nearly 300 years, so the depression will be correspondingly
deep,” Prechter said.

Flaws of the European Stress Test … 'Bank stress test' became the magic phrase. Nothing calms fear
like a stress test that's labeled as rigorous. The stress test raises a few
very obvious questions: 1) Will it work? 2) Why was it needed in addition to a
$1 trillion aid package? 3) Is the stress test just a gimmick to appease
investors? The stress test is conducted by the London-based Committee of
European Banking Supervisors (CEBS). Ironically, the test has ignored the
majority of banks' holdings of sovereign debt. Sovereign debt concerns by the
so-called PIGS countries (Portugal, Italy, Greece, and Spain) triggered the
latest wave of financial problems. Ignoring sovereign debt in the Euro stress
test would be like ignoring toxic real estate assets in the U.S. 10%
Good - 90% Bad According to a Morgan Stanley survey, European banks hold about 90%
of their Greek government bonds in their banking books and 10% in their trading
books. The bonds in the banking book are generally held until maturity, the
bonds in the trading book are traded more frequently. According to a document
obtained by Bloomberg, the stress test assumes a loss of 23.1% on Greek debt,
14% on Portuguese bonds, 12.3% on Spanish debt, 4.7% on German debt, 10% on
U.K. debt, and 5.9% on French debt. However, the stress test only looks at the
bonds held in banks' trading books, which account for a mere 10% of Greek bond
holdings. Can that be called a stress test? Nouriel Roubini says that 'the
assumptions made about economic growth, about sovereign risk are not realistic
enough.' The fact that only seven banks failed the test with a combined
shortfall of $4.5 billion confirms the lax nature of the test. … The U.S. Bank Stress Test - A Nice Façade A closer look under the hood of
the U.S. bank stress test, however, shows that there's not much substance
behind the facade either. It was determined that the 19 tested U.S. banks need
to increase their balance sheets by $75 billion to meet the conditions of
what's termed the 'worst case scenario.' To a large extent, the $75 billion of
additional capital was financially engineered. Banks didn't have to actually
raise $75 billion. They were able to change the label of some of their assets
on their balance sheets. The government supported this practice via mandatory
convertible preferred shares (detailed analysis in May 2009 issue of the ETF
Profit Strategy Newsletter) …’

bank failures in 2010 surpass 100
WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. bank failures this year have surpassed a bleak

Carolina, Kansas, Nevada and Minnesota. The six bank seizures announced Friday
bring to 102 the failures so far in 2010. The pace of bank closures this year
is well ahead of that of last year, which saw a total 140 bank shuttered amid
the recession and mounting loan defaults …

(No recession helicopter ben) Bernanke Admits Major Policy Failures; Stocks Soar Darryl Montgomery What's wrong with this picture?
In his bi-annual testimony before Congress yesterday, Fed Chair Ben Bernanke
admitted that after more than a year and a half of zero interest rates and $3
trillion in federal deficit spending since 2008, the best case
scenario for the U.S. economy is slow growth and high unemployment. The S&P
500 is up 2.5% so far this morning on this 'good' news. Bernanke's congressional testimony included the
following statements (emphasis added by me):
"Most [FOMC] participants viewed uncertainty
about the outlook for growth and unemployment as greater than normal, and the
majority saw [at the June Fed meeting] the risks to growth as weighted to
the downside."
"Financial conditions--though much improved
since the depth of the financial crisis--have become less supportive of
economic growth in recent months."
"Many banks continue to have a large volume
of troubled loans on their books, and bank lending standards remain tight.
With credit demand weak and with banks writing down problem credits, bank
loans outstanding have continued to contract."
"After two years of job losses, private payrolls
expanded at an average of about 100,000 per month during the first half of this
year, a pace insufficient to reduce the unemployment rate materially.
In all likelihood, a significant amount of time will be required to restore the
nearly 8-1/2 million jobs that were lost over 2008 and 2009."…

Afghans march in Kabul to denounce NATO
strikes that killed civilians: Demonstrators shout anti-American slogans,
denounce NATO strikes (Washington
Post ) Sounds like a plan! Almost surreal was the appearance of
gates on failed network ‘news’ show to shill the non-strategy of draw down (of
troops) linked to success. What success? Just being there and every day they’re
there is unequivocally abject failure. Celebritology
Weekend: Angelina Jolie biography arrives; Heidi Montag files for divorce (Washington Post ) I usually don’t weigh in on
entertainment news, but this headline concerning what appears to be a
disparaging, and quite selectively so, purported biography of Angelina Jolie is
very disheartening when you consider the numerous instances of failed
leadership at nearly all very high levels of government having so detrimental
an impact on the world, that morton deems his time appropriate to an actress
who has actually tried to do good things (U.N., etc.) without having to.
Indeed, even her latest film ‘Salt’ (spectacular by any standard as is her
performance – there are at least 2 winning sequels there with 4 the max and
stretching it owing to age – she puts all, and I mean all the ‘Bonds’ to shame)
had an important message in terms of the damage to this nation by a seemingly
endless, nation-bankrupting, anti-american (war criminal israelis already, and
quite correctly, globally hated) sentiment producing war strategy that is
neither strategy nor reasonably consistent with any positive american goal /
objective; but rather is such a debacle
and folly that the same could very well be one that only an enemy of defacto
bankrupt america could hatch and for the reasoning set forth in the
well-written / directed film. She astutely observed and talked about the
synchronicity of the film as juxtaposed to recent events revealing that she is wiser than most in Washington.

I believe slowly but surely and very selectively being supplanted by hard,

Marc Faber Questions if Dow
Could Hit 1,000 In the August edition of the ‘The Gloom, Boom
& Doom Report’ Marc Faber questions whether the Dow could hit 1,000 as predicted by Robert Prechter, based
on his interpretation of Elliot Waves, Fibonacci numbers and socioeconomic
trends. Prechter, who has written 13
books on finance (external link), believes
that the stock market is historically overvalued in terms of dividends and
earnings, because of a “great rise in positive social mood.” But the mood
changed in 2000 and the “trend toward negative social mood will lead to an
economic contraction,” according to Prechter. “Small bear markets lead to
recessions, big bear markets lead to depressions. The current bear market will
be the biggest in nearly 300 years, so the depression will be correspondingly
deep,” Prechter said.

Adding
profits but subtracting workers (Washington Post) Sounds like an american
strategy as on wall street launched pleine lune, vollmond, luna ilena, plenilunio, pełnia księżyca, or full moon in English. You
know, despite warnings from the very sane Ross Perot very near labeled a
lunatic, the lunatics on wall street and elsewhere ‘figured’ how by shipping
production and jobs elsewhere you could do nothing with almost no workers and
still make a similar percentage profit by selling the repackaged foreign
product here (in other words something akin to wall street’s churn-and-earn
high frequency computerized commissionable trade programs that in real economic
terms is a net negative). The reference to Orwellian, though in other context,
if only for the synchronicity and the rapidity with which these negative events
have unfolded is welcomed. Just look at britain. Those poor dumb brits. They
think Orwellian’s their destiny and the way to go.
Long-term
deflation is called a possibility (Washington Post) Whoops … Federal
Reserve's James Bullard: Long-term deflation like Japan’s is a possibility … If
only america’s could be like Japan’s … they’d take it. Though an
understatement, this revelation comes at a time when the ‘no recession ben fed’
has become the antithesis of that ‘Washington cherry-tree tale’ since they’ve
become known for their american tail (sic)
‘they cannot tell the truth’.
Foreclosures
rise in most major metropolitan areas (Washington Post) Ooooh! Sounds like
a plan! Bully, bully, bullish say the frauds on wall street since when sold in
foreclosure those sales can be spun for increased existing (or new) real estate
sales (kind of like that almost contrarian indicator, short sales, meaning at
some point they’ll have to cover … righto old beans).

You really have to laud The Washington Post for this investigative brilliance
which whether people appreciate it or not, requires great corporate and
personal courage; even more so inasmuch as this is their backyard, so to speak.
Clearly, this illuminates the boondoggles which amazingly are coming at a time
when america will not be able to handle ‘bare necessities’ much less the
self-perpetuating, need-creating, bureaucracies which I’ve previously likened
to a perverse version of ‘Field of Dreams’ where if you will commit taxpayer
dollars, they’ll find / create a war, conflict, new war, etc., to spend it
on. NSA

find in said companies compensation commensurate with results. american ceo’s
generally, and global results (and comparisons) bear this out, are overpaid.

indicator which means more in Washington doing nation’s business; clearly a bad
thing (more doing less, creating more problems than solving, costing more for

Why
Bernanke isn't advocating fiscal stimulus (Washington Post) I would be
inclined to say the obvious; that you can’t spend what you don’t have; but, we
all know that’s not true. Indeed, that’s become a significant part of the
problem and america’s defacto bankrupt status a testament to that reality. Then
there’s the over-printing of an ever more worthless fiat currency which
continues as ‘we speak’; and, there are limits to that too as the dire results
of same ultimately begin to unfold.

nation even more bankrupt is illusory. I had occasion some time ago in speaking
with a long-time California resident (instructor at the college gym where I
worked out) to express my surprise at the bloated (municipal, state)
high-priced bureaucracy which of course is not productive except as to higher
taxes and which is at the forefront in the city of Bell where the city manager
was paid nearly 900,000 annually, and
specifically mentioned the part-time typical compensation of $100,000 and
contracts to interested, even familial, parties. Of course, no one has done
this better than feinstein, albeit on a more federal level and China contracts
through her husband’s companies, as previousl set forth on this website.
US
bank failures in 2010 surpass 100
WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. bank failures this year have surpassed a bleak
milestone of 100 as regulators shut down banks in Georgia, Florida, South
Carolina, Kansas, Nevada and Minnesota. The six bank seizures announced Friday
bring to 102 the failures so far in 2010. The pace of bank closures this year
is well ahead of that of last year, which saw a total 140 bank shuttered amid the
recession and mounting loan defaults …
'Systemic
risk' and preventing the next bubble (Washington Post) Come on! We’re in
the next bubble; or, should I say in the same bubble inasmuch as the so-called
‘last bubble’ never totally deflated owing to overactive Weimar dollar (now
european) printing presses, fraudulent mark to anything accounting among other
manipulations, etc.; and a less elastic (ready to burst) one at that.
This is quite incredible. The wobama market … based on b*** s***
alone. Yes, there’s a waning full moon. Yes, this is an election year and we’ve
seen frothing, false data / reports before. But come on! This is downright
ridiculous. I had occasion to hear from a so-called money manager on what used
to be a balanced business / finance radio program (I seldom listen to said
program anymore, truth be told, but owing to a scheduling quirk caught same
this day) say that all the economic / business news last week was good. In
point of fact, the actual news was all bad (except for some sporadic earnings
reports that were discounted many months ago). What parallel universe are these
foisty feisty frauds living in? Again, waning full moon Then the infamous
federal but not really federal, express in only a month (with blazing full
moon) changed downward guidance to upward guidance and based on b*** s***, and
voila … another full moon rally (oh yeah, the percentage up from low level
housing still low). Are the 30 day lunar cycles at work or just election year
frothing? Preposterous. Fundamentals have not changed. Structural problems to
the economy and insurmountable debt remain and will worsen. All their computer
programmed trading tricks with eye towards so-called technical support,
resistance, etc., levels will suck some suckers in as always, they’ll still get
their commissions on the way down, and we’ll see the bubble deflate again.
This is an especially great opportunity to sell and take whatever
profits / gains because there is truly much worse to come and the nation’s
defacto bankrupt in every way.
This Week in the Markets -
Suttmeier ‘ …Bank Failure Friday – The
FDIC closed seven banks last Friday bringing the total for the month of July to
17 and 103 for the year. Month to date bank failures have drained the FDIC
Deposit Insurance fund by $925.7 million brining the year to date today to
$18.5 billion well above the $15.33 billion prepaid assessments for all of
2010. I estimate that the DIF is now in arrears by $32.7 billion.
- Only 25 banks failed in 2008, as the FDIC was
slow closing community and regional banks.
- There were 140 bank failures in 2009 with a peak
of 50 in the third quarter.
- In the first quarter of 2010 there were 41
failures, in the second quarter there were 45 failures, and so far 17 for
the third quarter for a year to date total of 103.
- At this
pace bank closures in 2010 will be within my 150 to 200 estimate range for
2010.
- Since the
end of 2007, the FDIC has closed 267 banks on the way to my predicted 500
to 800 by the end of 2012 into 2013 …’

indoctrinated communist, although america’s now mutated form of capitalism /

did, which I believe explains Japan’s difficulty with computers, ie., Sony

Top
U.S. officer warns Afghan war will get worse
Oliver
Stone has apologized for his anti-Semitic rant, but is the damage already done.
What damage? To perceived reality as opposed to reality? When you look at
america’s pro-israel, self-destructive, contra-indicated policies, including
the hands off policy vis-à-vis fraudulent wall street, you see the truth to
what he says which is what so many astute individuals are already thinking /
realizing. How can people continue to ignore the truth, to their own detriment
Think about it. Do you really think he would risk the typical onslaught if the
same weren’t true? ‘Director Oliver
Stone has been forced to make a grovelling apology over an anti-Semitic
outburst. The double Academy Award winner claimed that the Russians suffered
more during the Second World War and that there was a Jewish 'domination of the
media'. Stone also said that Jews had '****ed up' U.S. foreign policy for years
and suggested the British supported Hitler ...’ The relentless attacks on Mel
Gibson are of the same caliber and purpose; suppression of truth!
In
1948, U.S. Secretary of Defense James Forrestal, an opponent of the creation of
a Jewish state in Palestine, warned that, even though failure to go along with
the Zionists might cost President Truman the states of New York, Pennsylvania,
and California, it was about time that somebody should pay some consideration
to whether we might not lose the United States. Mr. Forrestal was absolutely
correct! Isn’t that exactly what’s happened to defacto bankrupt america in
intractable decline.

Mideast Digest
(Washington Post, August 4, 2010) Blowback’s a reality. One that only fools
would ignore, defacto bankrupt america. Time to throw hated war criminal nation
israel under the bus. Why should america sacrifice itself for the war mongering
israelis. They’d NEVER do that for america. I’ve even heard analysts with
regional expertise say that the nation was better off under sadam.
ISRAEL NOW IN FAVOR OF NUKES IN THE MIDDLE EAST

Obama reminds veterans he's beginning war's end (Washington Post) Sounds like a plan! I mean,

U.S. looks to replicate Iraq
strategy, tactics (Washington Post ) [Oh right! Stick with that winning plan that worked so swimmingly (as
in drowning, in ie., debt, death, regional if not wordly anti-american

make it more difficult for Taliban insurgents to mount attacks to key buildings
in the Afghan city.
Afghans march in Kabul to denounce NATO

success. What success? Just being there and every day they’re there is
unequivocally abject failure. Celebritology Weekend: Angelina Jolie biography
arrives(Washington Post ) I usually don’t weigh in on
entertainment news, but this headline concerning what appears to be a
disparaging, and quite selectively so, purported biography of Angelina Jolie is
very disheartening when you consider the numerous instances of failed
leadership at nearly all very high levels of government having so detrimental
an impact on the world, that morton deems his time appropriate to an actress
who has actually tried to do good things (U.N., etc.) without having to.
Indeed, even her latest film ‘Salt’ (spectacular by any standard as is her
performance – there are at least 2 winning sequels there with 4 the max and
stretching it owing to age – she puts all, and I mean all the ‘Bonds’ to shame)
had an important message in terms of the damage to this nation by a seemingly
endless, nation-bankrupting, anti-american (war criminal israelis already, and
quite correctly, globally hated) sentiment producing war strategy that is
neither strategy nor reasonably consistent with any positive american goal /
objective; but rather is such a debacle
and folly that the same could very well be one that only an enemy of defacto
bankrupt america could hatch and for the reasoning set forth in the well-written
/ directed film. She astutely observed and talked about the synchronicity of
the film as juxtaposed to recent events revealing that she is wiser than most in Washington.

various substantial, blatant, brazened frauds, ie., wall street, missing 360
tons of $100 bills in Iraq, war profiteering, etc., without any fear of
prosecution, and of course concomitant decline for u.s. as the treasury is
looted. But I also believe its scope is beyond just the CIA with many complicit

here is the important point: that same Gulf Stream II was one of the very same

prisoners. Gulf Stream II crashed in Mexico with 3 tons of
cocaine on board ..it should not be surprising that this illegal practice of rendition

they’re still working on it (ultimately, decades, extinction, the distinction,

of Biological Anthropology (Michael Park text), I too had some misconceptions
about the group known as Neandertals (recent spelling drops the ‘h’) and
actually mis-referenced same by the stereotypical image of members of said
clade even as the debate continues as to whether they are within the species
homo sapiens or a separate species. I believe these to be distinctions without
important differences, so humble the origins and evolution of man truly are.

on the subject.

I felt compelled to thank you again for the add; not to curry your favor but

important. While I had bought at discount a library-discarded 1993 Anthropology

astounded by the substantial amount of time involved in the evolutionary

the sense of 'and all that...for this?'. This course should be required

[Interestingly, my intuitive (but unstudied) thoughts prior to
closer examination of the compelling subject of Biological Anthropology remain
what I believe to be the correct scenario. Specifically, very simply stated,
for the most part, the more “enlightened” (but not by much; by mutation,
accident, luck, intervention, etc.) left the unvarying confines of their
Sub-Saharan origins, experienced diverse new environs, challenges, etc.,
experienced what has been described (by neuroscientists, psychologists, etc.)
as neurogenesis in varying degrees and forms thereby over time, which trait was
selected for and is consistent with the purported multi-regional evolutionary
model which does not overtly contradict ultimately, initial African origins.
Races, sub-species, missing links, etc., are subsumed in this very humbling and
sorrowful tale of the “dawn of man”.]

Silence on Black Panther Story? (Washington Post) ‘Thursday's Post reported about a growing
controversy over the Justice

but left many readers with a question: What took you so long? For months,
readers have contacted the ombudsman wondering why The Post hasn't been
covering the case. The calls increased recently after competitors such as the
New York Times and the Associated Press wrote stories. Fox News and right-wing bloggers
have been pumping the story. Liberal bloggers have countered, accusing them of
trying to manufacture a scandal. But The Post has been virtually silent. The
story has its origins on Election Day in 2008, when two members of the New
Black Panther Party stood in front of a Philadelphia polling place. YouTube

paramilitary clothing. One carried a nightstick…’

there’s the defacto bankruptcy thing for america which will preclude meeting
domestic promises, necessaries, and expectations. That’s reality along with the
fact that: ‘This is a global

of our moral core. I’ve experienced the corrupt inter-relationship of the

…“Evidence points to aircraft – familiarly
known as “torture taxis” – used by the CIA to move captives seized in its
kidnapping or “extraordinary rendition” operations through Gatwick and other
airports in the EU being simultaneously used for drug distribution in the
Western hemisphere. A Gulfstream II jet aircraft N9875A identified by the
British Government and the European Parliament as being involved in this
traffic crashed in Mexico…” In 2004, another torture taxi crashed in a field in
Nicaragua with a ton of cocaine aboard… Mexican soldiers found ..132 bags
containing 3.3 metric tons of cocaine. The origination of the Gulfstream’s
flight is unknown but it was destined for Cancun when it crash landed. Again,
here is the important point: that same Gulf Stream II was one of the very same
planes chartered to the CIA for the rendition of suspected terrorists
prisoners. Gulf Stream II crashed in Mexico with 3 tons of
cocaine on board ..it should not be surprising that this illegal practice of rendition
has in some part, been used as a well-run smokescreen for another
borderless illegal operation- an extremely lucrative international transfer and
delivery of cash and narcotics.,,These
flights are not subject to regular customs checks, inspections or normal
regulations as they move seamlessly between destinations in the US, Britain,

says the CIA has has in effect carried out a “coup” against the US government,

believe there has been a defacto coup d’etat which has manifested in
various substantial, blatant, brazened frauds, ie., wall street, missing 360
tons of $100 bills in Iraq, war profiteering, etc., without any fear of
prosecution, and of course concomitant decline for u.s. as the treasury is
looted. But I also believe its scope is beyond just the CIA with many complicit
within the corrupted 3 branches of u.s. government (fed judges, us attorneys,
illegal system, etc.) plus the military and private big money, ie., Goldman
Sachs / wall street men, etc., among other organized crime. america is defacto
bankrupt in every way!

else do you explain the disconnect between reality, current and prospective,

alive in collectively what has already become a trillion dollar boondoggle (not
counting prospective medical costs, etc.) and promises to go much higher. Even
israel apologist Cohen of The Washington Post alludes to the Vietnam analogy.
However, even if there were real goals beyond the poppy / heroin trade which
the Taliban had all but eradicated (there isn’t); even if america wasn’t
defacto bankrupt (america is); even if america wasn’t killing innocent
civilians in large numbers (war criminal nation america is); even if america’s
allies haven’t similarly helped to bankrupt themselves by way of this war (they
have); even if I hadn’t told you so (I did) ….. this war still was, is, and
remains a very bad idea!

Lunacy it would be.
But it is also to their
great credit that the Iranians have not made their own threats.
Everyone knows there are

Biological.
Any attack done under
the threat of immediate biological retaliation would deter only the insane.

"What
this means is that Neanderthals are not totally extinct. In some of us, they

they’re still working on it (ultimately, decades, extinction, the distinction,
without a difference). Actually, prior to studying the compelling subject
of Biological Anthropology (Michael Park text), I too had some misconceptions
about the group known as Neandertals (recent spelling drops the ‘h’) and
actually mis-referenced same by the stereotypical image of members of said
clade even as the debate continues as to whether they are within the species
homo sapiens or a separate species. I believe these to be distinctions without
important differences, so humble the origins and evolution of man truly are.
Parenthetically, I wonder what that anthropological scientist Heidi Klum thinks
on the subject.

[Interestingly, my intuitive (but unstudied) thoughts prior to
closer examination of the compelling subject of Biological Anthropology remain
what I believe to be the correct scenario. Specifically, very simply stated,
for the most part, the more “enlightened” (but not by much; by mutation,
accident, luck, intervention, etc.) left the unvarying confines of their
Sub-Saharan origins, experienced diverse new environs, challenges, etc., experienced
what has been described (by neuroscientists, psychologists, etc.) as
neurogenesis in varying degrees and forms thereby over time, which trait was
selected for and is consistent with the purported multi-regional evolutionary
model which does not overtly contradict ultimately, initial African origins.
Races, sub-species, missing links, etc., are subsumed in this very humbling and
sorrowful tale of the “dawn of man”.]

Market
Going Down With the Ship? Montgomery: ‘This morning the Baltic Dry Index, a
measure of freight rates for international shipping, was at 1700. It hasn't
been at this level since April 2009, only four months after its Credit Crisis
low and only one month after the stock market was at its bottom. Bloomberg News
noted a week ago that the index had dropped continuously for the longest period
in nine years. Yes, the current drop in the preceding seven weeks (from a high
of 4209 in late May) has been bigger than anything seen during the Credit
Crisis. The last drop of this magnitude was in August 2001 in the middle of
that year's recession. Lack of shipping activity from China, the engine for
global economic activity, was cited as the main cause for the falling index.
Charter rates for all types of ships tracked in the index are falling. Prices
for dry bulk shipping, which doesn't include energy commodities, tend to be
very sensitive to economic activity. A sharp drop in rates indicates a
significant drop in global trade. Based on historical charts it looks like the
Baltic Index can lead, be coincident or lag movements in economic data and the
stock market. The index seems to be most closely correlated with prices of
industrial commodities and the industrial sector of the global economy. While
this is not the largest component of the U.S. economy (the service sector is
four times larger), it is the key sector in developing economies. It was
manufacturing though that had the biggest rebound in the U.S. since last year.
The service sector has remained lackluster. The stock market will likely be
following the Baltic Index down, although perhaps not with such a precipitous
decline. The Index has dropped almost 60% since late May. With the exception of
the small cap Russell 2000, none of the major stock indices have had even a 20%
drop - at least not yet. Disclosure: No positions.’

Goldman, SEC eyes exotic financial products Video
(Washington Post) SEC’s Khuzami Says ‘Goldman’s Suit Should Send Message’: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/video/2010/07/16/VI2010071602828.html
I disagree! Indeed, there have been and are a plethora of laws
and ad hoc prosecutions; but, particularly for the ‘risk seeker’ criminally
insane mentality on wall street, the same is far from a deterrent as seen from
historical perspective / fact and might even perversely provide for them an
incentive. The amount is relatively meager, but so long as this settlement is
as supposedly indicated to former SEC head by Khuzami narrowly drawn and in no
ways protective of goldman with regard to the yet unresolved massive frauds in
the many trillions, the SEC should be given the benefit of the doubt. However,
‘turning its attention to exotic financial products that MIGHT be used to
harm investors’ is troubling to say the least. Might? Who are they kidding. The
‘bad paper’ is still out there in the many trillions and in criminally
complicit fashion now marked to anything. I further believe these products of
fraud and consequent damage are being surreptitiously being, with corrupt fed
help, supplanted with real, albeit fiat, currency ultimately to citizens /
taxpayers / nations detriment. As things currently stand, particularly from the
numbers, fraud by wall street does pay; and pays well! Khuzami,
a 29-year-old former employee in Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s
business intelligence unit, had better produce or appropriately find himself
prosecuted for conflict, collusion, etc.. After all, he’s hardly one to be
considered unbiased. The frauds on wall street et
als must be criminally prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed. I truly believe
that absent such prosecution, there will be revolution in this country. In
other words, their ‘jig is up’ and they must go down for what they did / do.

Commission on Thursday over the ill-fated Abacus deal may be its best trade
ever. At $550 million, it's not
terribly expensive. (GS 152.19, +6.97, +4.80%) hasn't agreed to restrict its practices
in any meaningful way. And poof! The firm can go back to work with its biggest
liability paid. Investors are ecstatic, Goldman shares rocketed 5.5% in after-hours
trading. No wonder Goldman called it "the right outcome for our firm
shareholders and clients." See
full story on the SEC settlement. For the regulators, the settlement is
more than just anticlimactic. Having bet all of its chips on reversing
embarrassing episodes such as the Bernie Madoff fiasco in an aggressive case
against Wall Street, the SEC whiffed.
Sure, the settlement is the biggest in the agency's history. Yes, the
SEC was able to squeeze Goldman on the settlement language and admit it was a
"mistake" not to have disclosed Paulson & Co.'s role in picking
the ill-fated securities. But come on. Goldman's net income last year was $12.1
billion. It could be even higher this year, given the robust first quarter
Goldman already has had. The settlement amounts to less than 5% of profits.

Concern
over smashing into the 'wall of debt' (Washington Post) Oh, they’ve hit the
wall alright; and, it’s not just debt.
I believe the printing presses have been working
overtime to pump out ever more worthless fiat currency and with the many
trillions of worthless fraudulent paper still out there and marked to anything.
I further believe the same is being surreptitiously used to supplant the
fraudulent paper, the consequences of which will be devastating, of course, as
is invariably so in depressions in any event. This scenario would also mean huge
fraud accomplis. This market
is paper on paper moving around and generating commissions at lightning
computerized speed but adding no real value in real economic terms; again, the
analogy of termites eating away at the (nation’s) foundation is apposite. As
such, that money has to come from some real place and hence, the ever more
frequent and larger crashes we are seeing. Don’t forget that the worthless
paper from previous such fraudulent schemes now marked to anything is still out
there in a magnitude some have placed in the hundreds of trillions.
Biggest wall will be reality:

Economists
worry women, minority business owners' gains will be lost (Washington Post)
Little bit late for ‘economists worry’; talk about senile greenspan /
no-recession bernanke economics / prognosticating. Does anybody recall the
merciless drubbing (and pressure) that Ross Perot got for predicting the ill
effects of NAFTA and standing against the tide. In america today, the best men
never win; that’s reality, and also the sign of decline.
Exports
are up, but where are the jobs? (Washington Post) Gone with the wind?
Sorry, I must have been thinking of million dollar movies. Seriously though, I
dare say everyone knows they were gone with that ‘bi-partisan executive /
congressional, think-tank, cia / nsa ill wind’ that others might refer to as
flatulence / passing gas, also called NAFTA, and also proudly hailed by the
foregoing as ‘strategy’. They’re gone, and never to return. Moreover, the
flipside of the exports, viz., imports, doesn’t bode well despite the
fraudulent wall street b*** s*** and their chorus of cheerleaders in
washington. Some might say self-delusion but I would say fraud covers all.
Companies
pile up cash but still won't add jobs (Washington Post) Unlike the public sector (which now exceeds private
sector in job gains and average compensation), the private sector attempts to
mesh hiring with economic supply / demand factors to maximize (shareholder) profits / wealth. Whatever
faults american companies have, with relatively few exceptions, this still
remains a very basic fundamental and building surplus (generating profits) is a
necessary precept to ensure survival and the capacity to be a good ‘citizen’ so
to speak. Then there’s reality:
Retail
sales down for 2nd consecutive month (Washington Post) Another ‘Come on’ day on fraudulent wall street! This
time it’s the unexpected downward revision to previous market-frothing retail
sales report and poor retail sales and plunge in mortgage applications and then
there’s the fed minutes pointing to extended bad economy. See Dave Fry’s
(Daily) summary below referencing in euphemistic fashion, yet another ongoing
manipulation also known as fraud. (Absent prosecutions, they’ll continue to do
what comes natural to frauds on wall street). Great opportunity to sell / take
profits since much worse, also called reality beyond the b*** s***, to come.
Then there’s also the bad but typical news; viz., retail sales, mortgage apps, economic outlook down, and yesterday
deficits, trade and budget, up.
Mideast Digest: Wow! Belfast, Northern
Ireland; and in the Mideast Digest Section, of all places. It’s been a long
time. While I have had some difficulties with Irish mob in the context of
litigation but only tangential to my primary RICO action vis-à-vis the Italian
mob (and similarly tangentially the jewish mob and then primarily what I
learned to be ‘governmental mob’, federal, state, local, derivative thereby and
the sine quo non of corruption / bribery / synergy that spells decline for any
nation), it is difficult to not be empathetic to the plight of an otherwise
beautiful nation tainted only by the orange stain in that northern quarter.
After all, what hasn’t england not mucked up from balfour to the mideast to now
even their own nation having hitched a ride on the american / israeli crazy
train. As a matter of disclosure, I must admit to an affinity for the Irish and
somewhat fairly recently had been asked what I thought of Philadelphia to which
without hesitation I immediately replied that Grace Kelly (truly magnificent by
any standard) was born there. I could think of nothing else that could parallel
such a distinction.
NATION NEWS DIGEST: J.P. Morgan Chase
posts $4.8 billion profit (Washington Post) Yet another ‘Come on’ day on fraudulent wall street! This
time it’s the unexpected jump in continuing claims for unemployment, yesterday
the downward revision to previous market-frothing retail sales report and poor
retail sales and plunge in mortgage applications and then there’s the fed
minutes pointing to extended bad economy. Then there’s also now the ‘goldfinger
factor’ as in goldman’s middle finger. When you defraud for many billions, paying $550 million is
chump change. Goldman shares rocketed 5.5% in after-hours trading. No wonder
Goldman called it "the right outcome for our firm shareholders and
clients." (Absent
prosecutions, they’ll continue to do what comes natural to frauds on wall
street). Great opportunity to sell / take profits since much worse, also called
reality beyond the b*** s***, to come. Then there’s also the bad but typical
news; viz., previous retail sales, mortgage apps, economic outlook down, and
continuing claims for unemployment, deficits, trade / budget, up. (Just in:

Pearlstein: Can
regulation beget innovation? (Washington Post) I believe the more seminal question to be,
whether american companies, consistent with overall american decline and
corruption in so pervasive a fashion, are capable of or inclined toward real
innovation where enhancements to productivity, as well as greater profits, is
the consequence as desired. Certainly there has been ‘innovation’ by the wall
street frauds in the types of (ultimately worthless / fraudulent) paper and high
frequency trade programs enhancing their bottom-lines but little else; and,
those cutting edge ‘weapons of mass destruction’ produced or financed (israel)
by america are hardly productive in the economic sense but innovative and
profitable in the short run, and unwise and nation-bankrupting in the longer
run which we’re in right now!
Goldman
agrees to pay $550M (Washington Post) My own
skepticism based on the disparate numbers (the size of the frauds compared to
the relatively small fine) and as set forth in the initial reactions /
headlines that immediately follow has been allayed somewhat by an interview on
NBR with former SEC head Ruder who explained the very narrow scope of the
settlement which in no way shelters goldman from the huge frauds they have
perpetrated. So long as this is true in fact as well as law and in application,
the SEC deserves praise as has been so under the auspices of ‘Mother Mary’ who
appears to have the gonads lacking in prior SEC heads. The
frauds on wall street et als should be criminally prosecuted, jailed, fined,
and disgorgement imposed.

Concern
over smashing into the 'wall of debt' (Washington Post) Oh, they’ve hit the
wall alright; and, it’s not just debt.
I believe the printing presses have been working
overtime to pump out ever more worthless fiat currency and with the many
trillions of worthless fraudulent paper still out there and marked to anything.
I further believe the same is being surreptitiously used to supplant the
fraudulent paper, the consequences of which will be devastating, of course, as
is invariably so in depressions in any event. This scenario would also mean
huge fraud accomplis. This market
is paper on paper moving around and generating commissions at lightning
computerized speed but adding no real value in real economic terms; again, the
analogy of termites eating away at the (nation’s) foundation is apposite. As
such, that money has to come from some real place and hence, the ever more
frequent and larger crashes we are seeing. Don’t forget that the worthless
paper from previous such fraudulent schemes now marked to anything is still out
there in a magnitude some have placed in the hundreds of trillions.
Biggest wall will be reality:
‘This is
a global depression. This is a secular bear market in a global depression. The
past up move was a manipulated bull (s***) cycle in a secular bear market. This
has been a typically manipulated bubble as has preceded the prior crashes with
great regularity that the wall street frauds and insiders commission and sell
into.’

WHICH WAY IS THE MARKET GOING NEXT? Gomes: ‘Having been a technical analyst for the first 10 years of my
investing career and a fundamental analyst for the past 15 years, I'm a
believer that technical patterns form as fundamentals unfold. As such, if you
know something about both, you can confirm both against each other. At this
point in time, I see a market that is technically reaching up toward its 200
day moving average (2,250 for the NASDAQ). I also see a 50 day moving average
that is threatening to drop below that 200 day moving average. Technically,
that is usually a very bad sign for the market. The question is, "will the
50DMA drop below the 200DMA?" I think the answer is inevitably
"yes". The thing about the moving averages, is that you can see which
points of data are about to fall off. Meanwhile, you can make reasonable
assumptions regarding the points of data that will take their place. By doing
so, you can construct a range of probabilistic scenarios. In this case, some
high numbers are about to come out of the 50DMA, making it go lower. Meanwhile,
some low numbers are about to come out of the 200DMA, making it go higher.
Since both are VERY close to each other right now, it's safe to assume that the
50DMA will indeed fall below the 200DMA. So, that's probably bad news for the
market...technically. Fundamentally, it appears that Q2 turned out well for
most companies. However, most of the investing world knows this and stocks have
rallied about 8% on the news. Ever hear the saying "buy the rumor, sell
the news"? Well, the rumor has been bought and the news is just starting
to flow in. This means that we have to look at the NEXT bit of news to figure
out what rumor the market will be buying or selling. To me, it's clear that the
global economic environment will come back to the front burner as the #1 driver
of stock prices...and that's bad news for stocks. A good Q2 does not mean that
the future is bright. Rather, I believe that Q2 will represent the peak of
earnings health. Starting in Q3, good earnings will become a bit harder to come
by. Why?
1) Economic indicators are dropping fast. For all intents and purposes, the unemployment
rate has not budged. Meanwhile, store shelves are stocked again, PCs have been
upgraded, etc. In other words, the pent-up demand that drove the current
rebound has almost run its course. What little remains no longer has the power
to drive the economy as it has over the past 18-months.
2)
"Follow the money". This is one of the most powerfully simple rules
on Wall Street. When money is flowing into the economy (i.e. via lower interest
rates or stimulus $$$), it's usually good for stocks..and vice versa. At
present, interest rates can't go much lower and the numerous stimulus programs
are losing effectiveness. This means that the money is no longer flowing in.
Worse yet, the money that was spent is not generally viewed as having been
money well spent. This does not bode well for a new stimulus package to come
anytime soon. In other words, money is not flowing in AND doesn't appear poised
to flow in anytime soon. In fact, state and municipal budgets are being cut
(money flowing OUT), while they raise local sales and income taxes (more money
flowing out). if federal taxes go up in 2011, as planned, even more money will
be flowing out. If you follow that, you should be flowing out of the stock
market. In short, barring a new stimulus package of other major money-flowing
event, I believe the economy slips back toward recession. Whether or not we
double-dip, we will almost certainty slip in that direction.
3)
If you follow the money in Europe, you will run for the hills. Europe has
decided to spin 180-degrees and shift from stimulus to austerity (if you don't
know the definition, look it up -- you'll likely hear it again -- and not just
from me). Effectively the opposite of stimulus, austerity will pull money away
from the European economies...which tells us to pull money away from stocks.
Worse yet, the effect of the EU/IMF bailout is already wearing off. Greek
yields are rising again and Portuguese credit ratings have been reduced.
4)
Global bubbles are bursting. Most notably, home sales in China and Canada are
starting to fall. Remember what happened when the U.S. housing market cracked?
That's right -- that's what started this mess in the first place.
5)
Politically, this period in time has a tendency to be bad for stocks. There is
uncertainty around the mid-year elections...and the market hates uncertainty.
Historically, the political picture doesn't become clear until October, at
which point we might expect a rally. Until then, expect the democrats to do
everything they can to retain their jobs in November. That means, "stop
pissing off the public"...and the public seems pretty pissed about how the
stimulus $$$ worked out for them (or more accurately, how it DIDN'T work out
for them). Thus, the political pressure will lean against further stimulus
until after the elections.
The
Bottom Line: I believe that the market will start to reflect these concerns
very soon. These are real fundamental concerns, which you can see reflected in
the technicals. As the market reaches the 50DMA and the 200DMA, it will be inclined
to retreat (barring some new, hugely positive news). Meanwhile, the 50DMA is
90%+ likely to cross below the 200DMA, giving the market more reason to
retrench. At some point, if the economy sinks far enough and if the market
drops far enough, political pressure for more stimulus will mount. At that
point, money will flow back into the economy. But that time is not now. Now,
money is flowing away like the tide...and so should your invested capital. I'm
not always right, but I do my best, based on the information before me. Based
on what I see right now, the most logical conclusion is to expect a long, ugly
summer for stocks. If I see information that changes that view, I'll be sure to
post an update to this post. Disclosure: I have short positions against the
market

given stock or index drops below the 200-day SMA. Such a crossover reflects
internal weakness - at least in theory. We'll discuss in a moment how the
actual numbers match up with theoretic assumptions. On June 22, 2010, the
S&P 500 (SNP: ^GSPC) and Dow Jones (DJI: ^DJI) dropped below the 200-day
SMA. One day later the Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC) followed. On July 2, 2010, the
50-day SMA for the S&P (NYSEArca: SPY
- News)
dropped below the 200-day SMA. On July 6, the Dow Jones (NYSEArca: DIA
- News)
followed. As of today, the Nasdaq (Nasdaq: QQQQ
- News)
is barely hanging on. This sounds like a doomsday scenario. Does a rigid
analysis show that there is validity to 200-day and 50-day SMA crossover
buy/sell signals? Let's investigate.Crossovers - Lagging but Notable Many argue that
the SMA crossover is a delayed signal that emphasizes past weakness more than
it foreshadows future declines. To an extent, that is true. There are other
warning signals that point to a market turn long before the SMA does. For
example, on April 16, 2010, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter noted an
extremely low put/call ratio along with other bullish sentiment extremes. The
newsletter stated that 'the message conveyed by the composite bullishness is
unmistakably bearish. Once prices start to fall and investors get afraid of
incurring losses, the only option is to sell (due to the low put/call ratio).
Selling, results in more selling. This negative feedback loop usually results
in rapidly falling prices.' Prices did fall rapidly. The 22 trading days
following the April 26 high, erased eight months worth of gains. It took a 17%
drop for the SMA crossover to trigger a sell signal. When the ETF Profit
Strategy Newsletter issued a strong buy signal on March 2, 2009, it emphasized
that the developing rally would be a counter trend rally followed by a steep
decline and maintained this viewpoint even though prices kept rallying
relentlessly into the April highs. The SMA crossover now expresses the
possibility that even lower prices are ahead. 200 and
50-day SMA Crossovers - How Accurate? How about the
SMA crossover track record? Over the past 10 years, there have been nine
S&P SMA crossovers with five sell and four buy signals. We have yet to see
the results of the most recent sell signal. However, of the eight previous
signals, six were correct. Average gains following each signal were 14.91%.
$10,000 invested according to the buy/sell recommendations given right after
the first sell signal was triggered on October 30, 2000 at S&P 1,399, would
be worth $24,769 today. More Than just Crossovers If it sounds
too good to be true, it often is. As is the case with so many technical
indicators, crossovers need to be viewed in context with other indicators. In
other words, take a step back and evaluate how crossovers fit into the larger
picture. The larger picture (going back to 2007) reveals that trading volume
associated with market declines has been generally high, while trading volume
seen during rallies has been generally low; a bearish sign. Does
Wednesday's 3.13% Rally Invalidate the Sell Signal? On Wednesday,
the S&P rallied 32 points or 3.13%. The Dow rallied 2.82%, while the Nasdaq
rallied 3.13%. Does this mean the bull market is back on track?Since the
April market top, we've seen about a handful of 2-3% bounces. All associated
gains were erased within a matter of days. Chances are this time will be the
same. In fact, some sort of bounce was to be expected. On July 5, the ETF
Profit Strategy Newsletter stated 'considering that the S&P is butting
against the 100-week SMA, lower accelerations band, 38.2% Fibonacci retracement
levels, round number resistance at 1,000, and weekly s1 at 994, there is a good
chance we will see some sort of a bounce develop from the 990 - 1,015 area.
Weekly r1 at 1,066 and pivot at 1,063 should serve as resistance.' This bounce
is in its later stages right now. What's Next? Let's revisit
the larger picture. Out of the nine leading industry sectors, seven have seen
their 50-day SMA cross below the 200-day SMA - financials (NYSEArca: XLF
- News),
technology (NYSEArca: XLK - News),
consumer staples (NYSEArca: XLP - News),
materials (NYSEArca: XLB - News),
utilities (NYSEArca: XLU - News),
energy (NYSEArca: XLE - News)
and healthcare (NYSEArca: XLV - News).
The consumer discretionary (NYSEArca: XLY
- News)
and industrial sector (NYSEArca: XLI - News)
are the only holdouts. All nine sectors, however, trade below their 200-day
SMA. Fundamentals, sentiment readings and valuations also point south. Some of
the fundamentals we have discussed in these pages are crafty accounting
practices designed to hide huge losses racked up by big financial institutions
not yet realized along with a continually bad unemployment picture. Sentiment
surrounding the April highs recorded extremes not seen since the 2000, 2007,
and even 1987 market top. There are multiple sentiment measures (such as the
VIX, cash allocation, put/call ratio, percentage of bullish/bearish advisors,
mutual fund cash levels, etc.). Each sentiment measure is one piece of
the puzzle. The more pieces of the puzzle you have, the clearer the picture
becomes. Leading up to the April highs, nearly all sentiment indicators peaked,
painting a complete bearish picture. In summary, the bearish picture is
confirmed by technical indicators, a fundamental outlook, sentiment gauges, and
valuations. Based on what the market considered fair market valuations at prior
historic market bottoms, one can conclude how far stocks have to drop to reach
the previously attained level of fair valuations. The ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter
includes a detailed analysis of four valuation metrics with a track record of
accuracy, along with the implied target range for an ultimate market bottom.
This is provided in addition to its short, mid and long-term forecast. When the
market speaks, it behooves investors to listen. Fighting the tape has often
proven to be foolish, as the market will always have the final word.’
A
Market Forecast That Says ‘Take Cover’ New York Times

biggest of the last 300 years.
Commercial Real Estate Loans Extend
and Pretend ‘…Courtesy of Thomson / Reuters
Commercial Real Estate Loans – Extend and Pretend Community banks have commercial real estate
loans where the borrower cannot make scheduled interest and principle payments.
More than 50% of all FDIC-insured institutions have loan pipelines that are 80%
to 100% funded. This is a measure of how banks are stuck with noncurrent
assets, but they are not classified that way. Instead, community banks are
giving borrowers more time to make their payments on the theory that it’s better to collect zero on some loans rather than
owning the real estate that collateralizes those loans. This concept is dubbed
“extend and pretend” hoping that the borrower will
eventual pay the loan back. Banks in this practice are known as “Zombie Banks” as
they can’t
lend, can’t lure in new investors, and wait for the FDIC to knock
on their doors on Friday afternoon. This strategy includes stretching out loan
maturities and allowing below-market interest rates to slow the number of
defaults and preserving the capital of banks that would be expended if property
had to become “Other Real Estate Owned.” As a result “Loans 30 to 89 Days in Arrears” and “Noncurrent”
loans are not growing as fast as they should be. The net result of these
practices masks the true toxicity of the Commercial Real Estate market. It’s not just the small banks that
are employing “extend and pretend”
tactics. I read that the Bank of America (BAC) has extended a large real estate loan in
Buckhead, Georgia the high-class area north of Atlanta. The loan finances the
development of a high-end shopping and residential project in 2007 and now three
years later the cranes are silent and the project is fenced in. The banking
regulators are helping the banks by allowing the lenders several ways to
restructure loans. While doing so the banks are allowed to keep these loans as
“performing” even with collateral values below the loan
amounts. Extend and pretend is also known as kicking the can down the road. It
seems to me that we have wasted billions if not trillions in stimulus money and
bank bailouts when this money could have been used to actually fund the
completion of these projects. Such a plan would have cost tax payers much less
and would have kept Americans working on Main Street USA, as finishing
incompleted real estate projects are clearly “shovel ready” projects.
According to Foresight Analytics banks hold $176 billion of CRE loans that
could be declared toxic. This is the tip of the iceberg as the FDIC Quarterly
Banking Profile shows $1.09 trillion in nonfarm nonresidential real estate
loans and $418 billion in Construction & Development loans on the books of
our nation’s banks. About two-thirds of
the CRE loans are maturing between now and 2014, and are underwater. Commercial
real estate property values are down 42% from the October 2007 peak. At the end
of the first quarter 9.1% are delinquent up from 7% a year earlier. Bankers
justify “extend and pretend” saying
that it’s better than calling the loan and dumping more property
on a depressed market. We need a stronger economy to entice new investors to
resurrect projects and to find new demand for competed offices, hotels, condos
etc which are the finished products of completed CRE projects. Without a strong
economic recovery these loans will eventually have to be written off down the
road. The problem is that while these loans are on hold banks can’t justify new
loans, which would be the engine of economic growth. And the beat goes on. Disclosure:

Light Volume Temptations: Dave's Daily ‘Volume still matters, doesn't it?
It seems not as the financial media ignores our light volume market in favor of
writing bullish headlines. With hedge funds mostly sidelined according to
reports posted here yesterday, the primary buyers must be trading desks on Wall
Street and a handful of algo traders. It's tempting to come off the sidelines
and join the fun but perhaps it's just the trap they're laying for you. A
headline at Reuters read this afternoon: "Weaker Economic Views Equals
Stronger 3-Year Note Sale". So, if equity markets are forward-looking one
must wonder what these few buyers are seeing beyond a short-term trade.
Headline writers say its strong earnings growth that will prop markets coupled
with rosy outlooks. That would have to be the case otherwise this is just a
sucker's rally. As stated, volume was holiday-like light (40% below average)

Stories that Should Scare the Heck Out of You Greg Hunter
| I was sitting here trying to find a way to wrap up the week and then,
like a bolt of lightning, an idea hit me.Gold expert Jim Sinclair sent me this
story: “Federal Budget Deficit Hits $1 Trillion For 1st 9 Months Of
FY’10.” The story said, “The shortfall, reflecting $2.6
trillion in outlays for the first three quarters and $1.6 trillion in receipts,
narrowed slightly compared with the same point in fiscal 2009.” So
where did the “shortfall” come from? Try the more that 8
million who lost their jobs. The story went on to say, “. . .
individual income and payroll tax receipts were down 4% over the nine-month
period, suggesting that wages and salaries have not improved to the extent that
corporate profits have.” Corporate profits have “improved”
because they laid-off all those workers!! (Click here for the entire Dow Jones Newswires story)
Sinclair says, “Nothing has changed. Nothing has been rescued. The can
that is being kicked daily down the path is going to turn around and bite the
kickers. Gold is the only insurance.” When things get
bad enough, there will be more stimulus cash put into the economy and more bank
bailouts. Sinclair is like legendary football quarterback Joe

congress, clinton, bush, wobama, etc.). Even some of their simplest products
are junk (but priced incredibly low to make the relative value) and seem to
have adopted that GM strategy of planned obsolescence, breakdown, etc., to spur

slave labor. As for Iran, they are a relatively small nation under collective

Dip Recession and the Obama 2011 Budget (February 2010): The long and

dissipated. And if companies are not hiring by this time and consumer
spending is not increasing more robustly, then the state budgets, the
strategic defaults and all of the rest of that becomes a serious obstacle.
In my view, more likely than not, this will lead to another recession late

outlook.

second half of 2010, inventories will not add considerably to GDP.

50 Random Facts That Make You Wonder What In The World
Has Happened To America - The Economic Collapse July 2,
2010 Our world is changing at a pace that is so staggering these days that it
can be really hard to fully grasp the significance of what we are
witnessing. Hopefully the collection of random facts below will help you
to “connect the dots” just a little bit. On one level, the facts below
may not seem related. However, what they all do have in common is that
they show just how much the United States has fundamentally changed. Do
you ever just sit back and wonder what in the world has happened to America?
The truth is that the America that so many of us once loved so much has been
shattered into a thousand pieces. The “land
of the free and the home of the brave” has been transformed into a socialized
Big Brother nanny state that is oozing with corruption and has accumulated
the biggest mountain of debt in the history of the world. The greatest
economic machine that the world has ever seen is falling apart before our very
eyes, and even when our politicians actually try to do something right (which
is quite rare) the end result is still a bunch of garbage. For those
who still love this land (and there are a lot of us) it is heartbreaking to
watch America slowly die.
The following are 50 random facts that show
just how dramatically america has changed….
#50) A new report released by the United
Nations is publicly calling for the establishment of a world
currency and none of the major news networks are even

considered her to be a “threat”.
#47) In early 2009, U.S. net national savings as a
percentage of GDP went negative for the first time since
1952, and it has continued its downward trend since then.
#46) Corexit 9500 is so incredibly toxic that the
UK’s Marine Management Organization has completely banned it, so if there
was a major oil spill in the North Sea, BP would not be able to use it.
And yet BP has dumped over a million gallons of dispersants such as Corexit
9500 into the Gulf of Mexico.
#45) For the first time in U.S. history, more than 40 million Americans are on food stamps,
and the U.S. Department of Agriculture projects that number will go up to 43
million Americans in 2011.
#44) It has come out that one employee used a Federal

for each retiree.
#38) According to a U.S. Treasury Department report to
Congress, the U.S. national debt will top $13.6 trillion this year and climb to an estimated $19.6 trillion by 2015.
#37) The federal government actually has the gall to ask for online
donations that will supposedly go towards paying off the national
debt.
#36) The Cactus Bug Project at the University Of
Florida was allocated $325,394 in economic stimulus funds to study the mating decisions of cactus bugs.
#35) A dinner cruise company in Chicago got nearly $1
million in economic stimulus funds to combat terrorism.
#34) It is being reported that a 6-year-old girl from Ohio is

Six Months
to Go Until the Largest Tax Hikes in History...
SIX MONTHS TO GO UNTIL
THE LARGEST TAX HIKES IN HISTORY
From Ryan Ellis on Thursday, July 1, 2010 4:15 PM
Read more: http://www.atr.org/six-months-untilbr-largest-tax-hikes-a5171##ixzz0sVN5aBH3
In just six months, the largest tax hikes in the history of America
will take effect. They will hit families and small businesses in three
great waves on January 1, 2011:
First Wave: Expiration of 2001 and 2003 Tax Relief
In 2001 and 2003, the GOP Congress enacted several tax cuts for investors,
small business owners, and families. These will all expire on January 1,
2011:
Personal income tax rates will rise. The top income tax
rate will rise from 35 to 39.6 percent (this is also the rate at which
two-thirds of small business profits are taxed). The lowest rate will
rise from 10 to 15 percent. All the rates in between will also
rise. Itemized deductions and personal exemptions will again phase out,
which has the same mathematical effect as higher marginal tax rates. The
full list of marginal rate hikes is below:
- The 10% bracket rises to an expanded 15%
- The 25% bracket rises to 28%
- The 28% bracket rises to 31%
- The 33% bracket rises to 36%
- The 35% bracket rises to 39.6%
Higher taxes on marriage and family. The “marriage
penalty” (narrower tax brackets for married couples) will return from the first
dollar of income. The child tax credit will be cut in half from $1000 to
$500 per child. The standard deduction will no longer be doubled for
married couples relative to the single level. The dependent care and
adoption tax credits will be cut.
The return of the Death Tax. This year, there is no
death tax. For those dying on or after January 1 2011, there is a 55
percent top death tax rate on estates over $1 million. A person leaving
behind two homes and a retirement account could easily pass along a death tax
bill to their loved ones.
Higher tax rates on savers and investors. The capital
gains tax will rise from 15 percent this year to 20 percent in 2011. The
dividends tax will rise from 15 percent this year to 39.6 percent in
2011. These rates will rise another 3.8 percent in 2013.
Second Wave: Obamacare
There are over twenty new or higher taxes in Obamacare.
Several will first go into effect on January 1, 2011. They include:
The “Medicine Cabinet Tax” Thanks to Obamacare,
Americans will no longer be able to use health savings account (HSA), flexible
spending account (FSA), or health reimbursement (HRA) pre-tax dollars to
purchase non-prescription, over-the-counter medicines (except insulin).
The “Special Needs Kids Tax” This provision of Obamacare
imposes a cap on flexible spending accounts (FSAs) of $2500 (Currently, there
is no federal government limit). There is one group of FSA owners for
whom this new cap will be particularly cruel and onerous: parents of special
needs children. There are thousands of families with special needs
children in the United States, and many of them use FSAs to pay for special
needs education. Tuition rates at one leading school that teaches special
needs children in Washington, D.C. (National Child Research Center) can easily
exceed $14,000 per year. Under tax rules, FSA dollars can be used to pay
for this type of special needs education.
The HSA Withdrawal Tax Hike. This provision of Obamacare
increases the additional tax on non-medical early withdrawals from an HSA from
10 to 20 percent, disadvantaging them relative to IRAs and other tax-advantaged
accounts, which remain at 10 percent.
Third Wave: The Alternative Minimum Tax and Employer Tax Hikes
When Americans prepare to file their tax returns in January of 2011, they’ll be
in for a nasty surprise—the AMT won’t be held harmless, and many tax relief
provisions will have expired. The major items include:
The AMT will ensnare over 28 million families, up from 4 million last
year. According to the left-leaning Tax Policy Center, Congress’ failure to index
the AMT will lead to an explosion of AMT taxpaying families—rising from 4
million last year to 28.5 million. These families will have to calculate
their tax burdens twice, and pay taxes at the higher level. The AMT was
created in 1969 to ensnare a handful of taxpayers.
Small business expensing will be slashed and 50% expensing will
disappear. Small businesses can normally expense (rather than
slowly-deduct, or “depreciate”) equipment purchases up to $250,000. This
will be cut all the way down to $25,000. Larger businesses can expense
half of their purchases of equipment. In January of 2011, all of it will
have to be “depreciated.”
Taxes will be raised on all types of businesses. There
are literally scores of tax hikes on business that will take place. The
biggest is the loss of the “research and experimentation tax credit,” but there are many, many others. Combining
high marginal tax rates with the loss of this tax relief will cost jobs.
Tax Benefits for Education and Teaching Reduced. The
deduction for tuition and fees will not be available. Tax credits for
education will be limited. Teachers will no longer be able to deduct
classroom expenses. Coverdell Education Savings Accounts will be
cut. Employer-provided educational assistance is curtailed. The
student loan interest deduction will be disallowed for hundreds of thousands of
families.
Charitable Contributions from IRAs no longer allowed.
Under current law, a retired person with an IRA can contribute up to $100,000
per year directly to a charity from their IRA. This contribution also
counts toward an annual “required minimum distribution.” This ability
will no longer be there.

Investors get more gloomy & bearish We just had a very
difficult three month stretch for stocks. The S&P 500 fell 12% for
the quarter as did NASDAQ. The Shanghai Composite, China’s largest stock index, fell 22.9 in its local
currency, the yuan. The MSCI EAFE Index (foreign stocks) was down 14%.
Given the negative news, it is not surprising that investors are becoming more
bearish on stocks. This chart from Bespoke is based on the weekly Investors
Intelligence survey, which is getting close to levels from a year
ago. This is not close the peak we reached in early 2009, but the mood is
definitely more negative now: [chart]
Double Dip on the Way There were many events contributing to yesterday’s sell-off, and the
most likely culprits around the globe included more protests in Greece,
continued to concerns about Europe at large, and a downward revision (due to a
calculation error) of a leading economic indicator reading in China for the
month of April. But when it comes down to it, our own economy has yet to stand
on solid ground. While the recovery has continued to be shaky at best, recent
economic readings may be pointing to a double dip recession. Yesterday’s batch
of economic data seemed to be confirming that, as it brought a very dismal
reading on consumer confidence. June’s number stood at 52.9, far below
expectations of 62.5, and pointing to the consumers’ weariness about the job
market, and economic recovery in general. To go further, the previous reading
for May was revised downward, to 62.7 from 63.3. But the drop from May to June
really sends the message home: we’re not out of the woods yet. Earlier in the
week, we saw personal savings rates rise again, even while personal income
growth was meager. Americans, despite bringing home a little more cash,
continued to save more for the expected rainy days, and have yet to return to
their spendthrift ways. After yesterday’s precipitous selling, one would expect
to see a bit of a bounce in today’s trading session. That wasn’t the case,
however, as more weak data continued to dampen economic hopes. Today’s culprit
was the ADP private sector job report. The report stated that private payroll
gains were muted in June, with only 13,000 jobs added – far less than the
60,000 expected by economists. While May’s reading was revised slightly upwards
(to 57,000 hires from previously reported 55,000), today’s release does not
bode well for the much anticipated report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics
due out on Friday. The non-farms payroll survey includes government workers and
has been inflated in recent months due to hiring for the 2010 Census … [chart]
…The June report, however, will reflect many of those workers being laid off in
the past month. In May, 431,000 jobs were added, but without support from
temporary government hires, economists are predicting job losses in June. Last
week, consensus estimates were for a loss of 70,000 jobs for the month. By
yesterday, those estimates were downgraded further, to 110,000. With the help
of today’s ADP report, expectations have continued to fall: economists now
expect a reading of negative 125,000 …
Barron's: Why the Market Will Keep Sliding Perry D- Barron's has a nice summary of what the future may hold in its
"Up and Down Wall Street." It summarizes as well as anything I've
read recently where we're likely headed. Bugging the (stock) market is the increasingly
obvious disparity between what the Street's incorrigible cheerleaders see and
prophesy and what's actually happening in the real world...The double dip in
housing may or may not be a template of what's in store for the economy as a
whole. But at the very least, it is a precursor of other serious
disappointments destined to feed the unease among the jittery populace, which
most emphatically includes investors.
It cites the predictions of SDK Captial's Dee Kessler:
--the massive
fiscal and monetary stimulus so liberally applied in 2008-2009 is starting to
run out of steam, with financial conditions tightening and leading economic
indicators pointing to a stretch of "anemic activity."
--"structural
headwinds," such as public and private deleveraging, higher taxes, greater
regulation and trade tensions.
--the
well-publicized woes of the European bloc, which accounts for 20% of the
world's GDP, as further evidence that the global economy, as he puts it, is
downshifting.
--The period of
easy comparisons in corporate results, he says, is coming to a close,
--"Although
the fundamentals in the U.S., Europe and Japan are worse," Dee spots
plenty of downside in emerging markets and doesn't fancy the notion of
decoupling.
--Come another
financial crisis, "the only policy response left will be to print
money." Which, of course, is what the gold bugs are counting on and why
bullion has glistened so brightly.
That about sums
up the outlook. The nice insight here is that anxiety over future economic
malaise -- and the additional money printing that'll be done to mask it --
might be a bigger factor than current inflationary pressure behind the surge in
gold prices.
In other words,
for the deflation-believers: deflation today? Perhaps. But big-time inflation
tomorrow.

NY
Times’ Krugman: We Are Entering The Third Depression Recessions are
common; depressions are rare. [Correction: we’re already in a depression].
Stocks: Once More Up, Then the Big Down Smith -The
ingredients for a classic head and shoulders topping pattern in the stock
market are all present. That suggests one more rise and then a massive grinding
move down to 2009 lows. Officially, of course, everything's peachy with
the economy. Europe is fixed, China is booming, consumer confidence is rising,
and we are encouraged to resume our borrow and spend ways as the economy will
not "double-dip" into recession. The economy will not slide into
another recession, we are reassured constantly, even though roughly 80% of
Americans don't think we ever left the recessionary quicksand. Please see

Scoop Special": Double-Dip Recession Guaranteed (May 21, 2010) for
more … Exactly what drivers are there for future gains in corporate profits? I
can't think of any, short of Martians landing and going on a shopping spree
with gold they manufacture in their spacecraft. On the negative side, we have:
1. The rising dollar is a huge headwind to sales in the
eurozone and elsewhere.
2. The low-hanging fruit of pushing the workforce to produce more output for
the same salary/wages have all been picked.
3. The inventory build-out is done for everything but the iPhone 4 and iPad.
4. So-called "fiscal austerity" (when did living within one's means
become some sort of brutual "austerity"? Talk abour propaganda!) in
the eurozone and U.S. states will remove tens of billions of dollars from
corporate sales.
5. Global overcapacity is alive and well. There is overcapacity in everything
manufactured except the iPhone 4, and that will be in glut by 2011 as well.
6. Uncle Sam is not distributing trillions of dollars quite as freely. There
seems to be some glimmer of awareness that there could be consequences of
squandering trillions of borrowed dollars on essentially worthless projects
such as occupying Iraq, inflating the housing market by socializing the entire
mortgage market, propping up Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and FHA, etc.
7. Housing is rolling over now that the socialized mortgage market has been
tentatively allowed to go off life-support (it is wheezing and turning blue in
the face, not signs of vibrant health).
8. There is no pricing power anywhere once stimulus-goosed demand declines to
organic demand (flat to down) …

Momentum Book Update: The Market Is a Mess and the Long Bond Is
About to Break Out … Not only do us swing traders have to fight the urge
to chase price action up, but lay off the keyboard trying to catch falling
knives in the relative strength stocks which are holding up. If you tried to
buy support in your favorite names this week, you got your hands cut up. I’ll continue to rely on the understanding of my own
emotions as they have served me well. When we opened higher on Monday morning I
knew I was in the right place, cash, as the market was just way overbought. If
you bought most relative strength names last week, by the end of this week you
were well underwater. So where do we go from here? I’ve got no clue, the market is a mess, the charts are a mess, and the
long bond is about to break out. If that happens all bets are off, we could see
an “event”. If the smart money is lining up at the exits and moving into
bonds, there’s a good chance they see
something coming down the pipe …
SUITING UP FOR A POST-DOLLAR WORLD John Browne ‘The
global financial crisis is playing out like a slow-moving, highly predicable
stage play. In the current scene, Western governments are caught between the
demands of entitled welfare beneficiaries and the anxiety of bondholders who
fear they will be stuck with the bill. As the crisis reaches an apex, prime
ministers and presidents are forced into a Sophie's choice between social
unrest and bankruptcy. But with the "Club Med" economies set to fall
like dominoes, the US Treasury market is not yet acting the role we would have
anticipated. Our argument has always been that the US benefits from its
reserve-currency status, allowing it to accumulate unsustainable debts for an
unusually long period without the immediate repercussions of inflation or
higher borrowing costs. But this false sense of security may be setting us up
for a truly monumental crash. There is fresh evidence that time is running out
for the dollar-centric global monetary order. In fact, central banks outside
the US are already making swift and discrete preparation for a post-dollar
era.To begin, the People's Bank of China has just this week decided to permit a
wider trading range between the yuan and the dollar. This is the first step
toward ending the infernal yuan-dollar peg. While the impetus behind this
abrupt change remains a mystery, I have a sneaking suspicion that, as my
colleague Neeraj Chaudhary explained in his commentary
last week, the nationwide labor strikes were a prime motivator. In response to
the 2008 credit crunch, the Fed printed so many dollars that the People's Bank
of China was forced to drive Chinese inflation into double digits to maintain
the peg. The pain has fallen on China's workers, who have seen their wages
stagnate while prices for everything from milk to apartments have skyrocketed.
This week's move indicates that, regardless of its own policy motives, the
Communist Party can no longer afford to keep pace with the dollar's
devaluation. The result will be a shift in wealth from America to China, which
may trigger a long-anticipated run on the dollar, while creating investment
opportunities in China. Just days before China's announcement, Russian
President Dmitry Medvedev rattled his monetary sabre by telling the press of
his intention to lead the world toward a new monetary order based on a broad
basket of currencies. Giving strength to his claim, the Central Bank of Russia
announced that it would be adding Canadian and Australian dollars to its
reserves for the first time. Analysts suggest that the IMF may follow suit.
While Russia floats in the limbo between hopeless kleptocracy and emerging
economy, it does possess vast natural resources and a toe-hold in both Europe
and Asia. In other words, it will be a strategically important partner for
China as it tries to cast off dollar hegemony. Speaking of Europe, the major
powers there are moving toward a post-dollar world by rejecting President
Obama's calls to jump on America's debt grenade. The prescriptions coming from
Washington translate loosely to: our airship is on fire, so why don't you light
a candle under yours so that we may crash and burn together. Given that dollar
strength is largely seen as a function of euro weakness (as Andrew Schiff
discussed in our most recent newsletter,
debt troubles in the eurozone's fringe economies have created a distorted
confidence in the greenback. However, as you might imagine, Europe has higher
priorities than being America's fall guy. Led by an ever-bolder Germany, the
European states are wisely choosing not to throw themselves on our funeral
pyre, but to wisely clean house in anticipation of China's rise. In another
ominous sign for the dollar, the Financial Times reported Wednesday that after
two decades as net sellers of gold, foreign central banks have now become net
buyers. What's more, more than half of central bank officials surveyed by UBS
didn't think the dollar would be the world's reserve in 2035. Among the
predicted replacements were Asian currencies and the euro, but - by far - the
favorite was gold. This is supported by Monday's revelation by the Saudi
central bank that it had covertly doubled its gold reserves, just about a year
after China made a similar admission. There is no reason to assume these are
isolated incidents, or that the covert trade of dollars for gold doesn't
continue. To the contrary, this is compelling evidence that foreign governments
are outwardly supporting the status quo while quietly preparing for the
dollar's almost-inevitable devaluation. What people like Paul Krugman believe
to be a return to medieval economics may, in fact, be the wave of the future.
In peacetime, hardened troops will likely tolerate a blowhard general for an
extended period; but when the artillery opens up with live ordnance, an
ineffectual leader risks rapid demotion. The newspapers are now riddled with
hints that foreign governments have lost faith in Washington and the dollar
reserve system. It seems to me only natural that after a century of war,
inflation, and socialism, the next hundred years would belong to those people
who hold the timeless values of hard money and fiscal prudence. Unfortunately,
our policymakers are not those people.’

3 SIGNS OF A SUCKER RALLY AFTER
EXAMINING TECHNICAL EVIDENCE, SENTIMENT INDICATORS AND VARIOUS VALUATION
METRICS, IT BECOMES OBVIOUS THAT THE RECENT BOUNCE PROVIDES A SELLING, NOT
BUYING OPPORTUNITY ...’
Russell:
This Is One Of The Largest Tops In Stock Market History Richard Russell has grown very vocally bearish in recent
months. Earlier this year, Russell warned that the stock market was once again
becoming grossly overvalued despite its relentless new highs. Pragmatic Capitalism June 24, 2010 Richard
Russell has grown very vocally bearish in recent months. Earlier this year, Russell warned that the stock market
was once again becoming grossly overvalued despite its relentless
new highs. He has maintained that the bear market never ended and that
the world is far too indebted to exit the bear market. He also believes
the bear will not end until all fiat currencies have failed. Although I
disagree with him on many aspects of the micro I agree with his larger macro
outlook. This bear market is not over. The secular bear market
lives on. Mr. Russell thinks we might be on the verge of a terrible
collapse:
“We’re now in the process of
building one of the largest tops in stock market history. The result, I think,
will be the most disastrous bear market since the ‘30s, and maybe worse.
Question: “What
could possibly be behind such a bear market?” you ask. “The stock market is
stirring up optimism on a weekly, if not daily basis, by not falling apart.”
Answer:
This is the “rest” or “dead zone” I was talking
about. Bear markets don’t conclude in a day, a week or a month. Months will go
by, often adding to the bulls’ optimism.I think the key element behind this
great bear market will be the complete destruction of all fiat currencies. This
has been a long time coming. Fiat currencies are “wealth” created by man. They are created without
sacrifice, without labor, without risk, and without sweat. Basically they are
an immoral device, created by secretive bankers. If you watch the figures
carefully, you’ll note the subtle deterioration. For instance, the
advance-decline ratio, although up slightly for the week, had a relatively weak
performance with the Dow up several hundred points over the course of the week.
And we broke the trendline in May (see the chart below showing the cumulative
advance-decline line for NYSE Common Stock only, which is what we publish in
our figures (courtesy of DecisionPoint —

as you move to the right on the chart. [CHART] My
old friend, Bob Prechter, is talking about Dow 400. I used to think this was an
absurd joke. I no longer think it’s a joke. The ultimate result will be a
primary bear market shocking in duration and extent. …’

the past year, we've written a lot about the similarity between the rally of
early 1930 and the one we had through April of this year. The early 1930 rally
came after the market had fallen nearly 50% in the fall of 1929. The spring
1930 rally took the market up nearly 50% again, to a level that was only about
20% below the previous peak. That rally, of course,
was also the biggest sucker's rally in history. After the market peaked in
April 1930, it crashed again, eventually ending up down 89% from the 1929 high
and more than 80% from the 1930 high. The
market did not reach the 1930 high again for another quarter of a century. The rally that recently ended in April 2010 came after
a crash that was actually slightly more severe than the 1929 crash (53% versus
48%). It took the market up nearly 80% from the low! The recent rally also
lasted longer than the 1930 rally did--a year, as opposed to 6 months … ]

exception is what I believe was Germany’s steps against derivatives, which
market according to a derivatives trader on the radio this day is a $40
trillion market (missed his name). To reiterate as applicable to yet another
fraudulent scheme previously stated, said market is paper on paper moving
around and generating commissions at lightning computerized speed but adding no
real value in real economic terms; again, the analogy of termites eating away
at the (nation’s) foundation is apposite. As such, that money has to come from
some real place and hence, the ever more frequent and larger crashes we are

invariably would (and should) pay. If they’re not prosecuted, everyone
loses.
POST MORTEM AND REVIEW Ricky:
A post mortem is in order. The elements of this
worldwide con game are remarkably simple, not complex at all. Apparently you
only need a few things to make a mockery of the entire global economic system,
and big banks garnered these few important things through “regulatory capture”:
1) Unregulated, unenforced rules (particularly for
derivatives)
2) license to “mark to model” (assign your own values to your assets)
3) ability to peg present value to irrational expected future returns (based on
unlimited, exponential growth)
4) infinite leverage (no effective requirements for reserve capital in
unregulated “shadow” markets)
5) massive size, so that the bank is "too big to fail"
6) non-transparency and non-accountability.

THE FORECASTS:
Harry Dent, Jr.
Economy will be in a Depression by 2011
The worst of this next depression is likely to hit between mid-2010 and
mid-2013, especially around early 2011, but if the banking system continues to
implode a deep downturn or depression could begin sometime in 2009 instead of
2010.
Dow will Fall to 3,800 – 4,500 by 2012
Nasdaq will Fall Below 1,100, its 2002 low, by late 2010 or mid-2012 at the
latest.
Inflation will Increase until mid- 2010 and then turn to Deflation
Interest Rates will Increase
U.S. Dollar will Decline
Housing will Decline by 40 – 60% from Today’s Levels
Greatest Economic and Banking Crisis since the 1930s will Occur Between 2010
and 2012
Russell Napier is the author of the book “Anatomy of the Bear”, a professor at the
Edinburgh Business School and a consultant to CLSA Ltd. which is one of the top
research houses in Asia. Napier’s research indicates (and I paraphrase) that:
The S&P 500 will Decline to 400 by 2014 (the Dow 30 to 3800)
The S&P 500 will then undergo a major crash that will see U.S. equity
prices bottom at almost 50% below current levels (i.e. to 400 or less; the Dow
30 to 3800 or less) sometime around 2014 as Tobin’s “q” drops to 0.3 signaling
the end of the bear market, as it has done at the end of the four largest U.S.
market declines in 1921, 1932, 1949 and 1982.

“Elliott Wave Principle” (1978) in which he predicted the super bull market of
the 1980s; “At the Crest of the Tidal Wave – A Forecast of the Great Bear
Market” (1995) in which he predicted a slow motion economic earthquake, brought
about by a great asset mania, that would register 11 on the financial Richter
scale causing a collapse of historic proportions; and “Conquer the Crash: You
can Survive and Prosper in a Deflationary Depression” (2002) in which he
described the economic cataclysm that we are just beginning to experience and
advised how to position one’s self financially during that period of time.

the downward revision to previous market-frothing retail sales report and poor
retail sales and plunge in mortgage applications and then there’s the fed
minutes pointing to extended bad economy. Then there’s also now the ‘goldfinger
factor’ as in goldman’s middle finger. When you defraud for many billions, paying $550 million is
chump change. Goldman shares rocketed 5.5% in after-hours trading. No wonder
Goldman called it "the right outcome for our firm shareholders and
clients." (Absent
prosecutions, they’ll continue to do what comes natural to frauds on wall
street). Great opportunity to sell / take profits since much worse, also called
reality beyond the b*** s***, to come. Then there’s also the bad but typical

the consequence as desired. Certainly there has been ‘innovation’ by the wall
street frauds in the types of (ultimately worthless / fraudulent) paper and
high frequency trade programs enhancing their bottom-lines but little else;

various substantial, blatant, brazened frauds, ie., wall street, missing 360
tons of $100 bills in Iraq, war profiteering, etc., without any fear of
prosecution, and of course concomitant decline for u.s. as the treasury is
looted. But I also believe its scope is beyond just the CIA with many complicit

illegal system, etc.) plus the military and private big money, ie., Goldman

known as “torture taxis” – used by the CIA to move captives seized in its
kidnapping or “extraordinary rendition” operations through Gatwick and other
airports in the EU being simultaneously used for drug distribution in the
Western hemisphere. A Gulfstream II jet aircraft N9875A identified by the
British Government and the European Parliament as being involved in this
traffic crashed in Mexico…” In 2004, another torture taxi crashed in a field in
Nicaragua with a ton of cocaine aboard… Mexican soldiers found ..132 bags
containing 3.3 metric tons of cocaine. The origination of the Gulfstream’s
flight is unknown but it was destined for Cancun when it crash landed. Again,
here is the important point: that same Gulf Stream II was one of the very same
planes chartered to the CIA for the rendition of suspected terrorists
prisoners. Gulf Stream II crashed in Mexico with 3 tons of
cocaine on board ..it should not be surprising that this illegal practice of rendition
has in some part, been used as a well-run smokescreen for another
borderless illegal operation- an extremely lucrative international transfer and
delivery of cash and narcotics.,,These
flights are not subject to regular customs checks, inspections or normal
regulations as they move seamlessly between destinations in the US, Britain,

about the group known as Neandertals (recent spelling drops the ‘h’) and
actually mis-referenced same by the stereotypical image of members of said
clade even as the debate continues as to whether they are within the species
homo sapiens or a separate species. I believe these to be distinctions without
important differences, so humble the origins and evolution of man truly are.

accident, luck, intervention, etc.) left the unvarying confines of their
Sub-Saharan origins, experienced diverse new environs, challenges, etc.,
experienced what has been described (by neuroscientists, psychologists, etc.)

selected for and is consistent with the purported multi-regional evolutionary

Armageddon … oh, they’ll make that happen … it gets them through their day with
every step closer to apocalypse but not to the place called heaven will they
go. The end of this world? You might say america / israel / and theirs are
feverishly working on just that, one way or another!
Roman Polanski freed after Swiss reject U.S.
extradition request (Washington Post, July 13, 2010) Without diminishing in any way the seriousness of the crime, this
result is the direct consequence of the growing global recognition of the
pervasiveness of corruption in american courts, state and federal, and america
generally; so much so, that said corrupt american courts cannot be relied on
anywhere, anytime. Indeed, my own sampling, though hardly random to be candid,
is 5 for 5 (new jersey, new york, connecticut, virginia, california)
pervasively and egregiously corrupt to the point where these costly, corrupt
bureaucracies should be abolished and supplanted with alternatives as I’ve
previously set forth in prior comments.
BUDGET
CRISIS PUTS LOS ANGELES COURT SYSTEM AT RISK ... [Judge sends Lohan to jail for probation violation (AP) – They
got her! That globe-trotting danger / threat to society, the infamous public
enemy Lindsey Lohan. Guess she couldn’t cough up that direct or indirect bribe.
How pathetic these corrupt, kangaroo courts are! If only she was a drug dealer,
armed robber, etc., she would have had the pre-paid connections to avoid this preposterous
(known substantial criminals walk about freely, without fear) outcome. This,
even as they are releasing substantial felons owing to budgetary
considerations. ]
ABOLISH THE CORRUPT, ECONOMICALLY
WASTEFUL SO-CALLED SYSTEM, FROM MY DIRECT OBSERVATION AND EXPERIENCE . (PREVIOUSLY

THIS LATEST "CALIFORNIA/LA DISTRACTION" REQUIRES ELUCIDATION AS

·

Blagojevich calls feds 'cowards and liars'…[Yes. This is a rare
moment for one to say that a sleazy hypocrite like blago, who is on corrupt
federale-connected mobster trump’s celebrity apprentice, happens to be correct
based upon facts / reality and my own direct observation and experience and the
law – Don’t forget to include corrupt federal judges as maryanne trump barry,
sam alito, shiff, matz, hall, underhill, dorsey, etc.. Defacto bankrupt

Stephen Hawking: Aliens exist but don't talk to them --
it's too dangerous … might not like us… Oh pshaw! … Human nature, man’s
inhumanity to man? … Such humble beginnings and evolutionary history …
What’s not to like? … Besides, not to worry. With their advanced
technologies that defy human understanding, the aliens already know you’re here
… to stay. So, not to worry. After all, as we know from that documentary of
that same name, ‘Earth Girls Are Easy’ … and then there’s photosynthesis on
earth in a very big way also going for it! ...
Seeing
Aliens Will Likely Take Centuries. Centuries? Not goin’ to happen; at best,
decades.
