Completely Surrounded By Psychopaths And Sociopaths As We Approach The Edge Of Societal Collapse

http://albertpeia.com/psycopathssociopathsamericasocietalcollapse.htm

 

{ Think about this! By wobama’s own criteria in his last total b***s*** campaign, he should be stepping down; having failed on all counts and then some. He also promised to cut the nation’s deficit in half by the end of his term; yet, he has increased the nation’s deficit by a record amount greater than all the presidents since Eisenhower COMBINED ($5 trillion). He has done this to help cover up his unequivocal failure by any standard by which you measure a presidency, including his own. People in america must show the Washingtonians they are not doormats! They must stand up and let these politicos know that results count; particularly promised results. Absent positive results as with unmitigated failure, choom-gang-banger wobama, they get the boot. President Romney deserves the 4 years he’ll have to turn this disaster called america around. If President Romney doesn’t cut the mustard in 4 years as promised, then he will be out. Results Count! I believe that people in the final analysis will choose self-respect; that is, choose NOT to be wobama’s doormat. Despite and contrary to wobama’s spin/propagandameisters’ desperate spin/outright falsity which addresses anything but wobama’s clear record of failure, President Romney is smart enough, flexible enough, and with a record of concrete results behind him as compared to wobama choom fantasy/b***s***, President Romney will be a hands-on President to the entire nation in the most positive sense. As such, I believe people will choose self-respect, reality, real results which will make President Romney’s election a substantial margin blowout victory!

Buchanan: 'Obama has steadily diminished both himself and the office he holds'...  { Indeed he has; and, that’s putting it mildly! }  ‘…In an ad produced by the super PAC Priorities USA, Mitt Romney is charged with moral, if not material, complicity in the cancer death of the wife of a Missouri steelworker. Speaking straight into the camera, Joe Soptic, 62, charges Romney with coldly shutting down the plant where he worked and cutting off his health insurance. This, says Soptic, left his wife without insurance to pay for her care, until, falling ill, she went to a doctor, who discovered stage 4 cancer, which killed her in 22 days.Soptic implies a causal connection between Romney’s decision to shut the plant and his wife’s death. The ad is a premeditated attempt to murder the reputation of Mitt Romney. And from start to finish, it is a deception. The truth. Mitt Romney gave up leadership of Bain Capital in 1999. The steel plant was closed in 2001. Soptic lost his health insurance, but his wife was still working and had hers. She lost her job and insurance in 2003. Her illness and cancer were discovered in 2006, when Romney was ending his fourth year as governor of Massachusetts…’  { It’s really quite amazing: everything but the facts/truth from wobama et als. Actually, wobama has a real tax evader in his ranks; viz., tiny tim geithner who asserted the statute of limitations to get out of paying taxes that were rightfully due. Should President Romney as a rational business man whose record at Bain was conceded by Bill Clinton to have been sterling have instructed his accountants to forget all they know about accounting/taxation and do a bad job (now doing a bad job is something that failed president wobama can identify with and knows something about).

Keeping campaign promises counts! Hope and change…can you believe that wobama et als are actually saying that again?

Janet Napolitano’s Little Love Nest at DHS

Prisonplanet.com | The Thomas More Law Center has announced that it has filed a federal lawsuit against Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.

Shocking Federal Lawsuit Against DHS Napolitano: Big Sis Favored Her Gal Pals, Treated Male Staffers “Like Lapdogs,” Her Female Staff Tormented Male Employees with “Sexually Charged Games”   { Whoa! Lapdog to Napolitano! Whew! Ew! Wow! Yuck! After all, jano almost makes mo reno look like a beauty queen! I’m starting to get dry heaves! …In the suit Hayes also accused Napolitano’s chief of staff at ICE, Suzanne Barr, of repeated 'sexually offensive behaviour' intended to 'humiliate and intimidate male employees'.On one occasion, Barr called a colleague in his hotel room and screamed using sexually explicit language, telling him she 'wanted his c*** in the back of [her] throat' (of course, this impressionable lesbian must have seen ‘deep throat’; maybe she really thinks there’s a possibility she has a clitoris in the deep recesses of her throat…or not…just kidding). Might this be behind (pun) the sadistic groping of TSA. Pretty sordid stuff, indeed!  }  Hayes claims he 'felt that he was being targeted because of his gender' and witnessed Barr repeatedly picking on men. She 'created a frat-house type atmosphere that is targeted to humiliate and intimidate male employees', according to court papers. In 2009 she 'removed the entire contents of the offices of three male employees, including nameplates, computers and telephones, to the men’s bathroom at ICE headquarters'.

1.4 BILLION Spent On The Obamas In 2012 – British Taxpayers Only Spent 57.8 Million On The Royal Family   http://albertpeia.com/grifterobamaslivinglargeontaxpayerdime.htm  { Yeah! These are typical, mooching, failing (but fun-lovin’/party animals), unproductive niggers; and non-niggers should be outraged!  } While most of America is suffering through one the worst economic downturns in U.S. history, the Obamas are living the high life at your expense.  During 2011, U.S. taxpayers spent an astounding 1.4 billion dollars on the Obamas.  Meanwhile, British taxpayers only spent 57.8 million dollars on the entire royal family.  Does anyone else see something wrong with this picture?  So where did the 1.4 billion dollars go?  That money paid the salaries of their staff members, it paid for their transportation and housing costs, it paid for entertainment and vacations for the Obamas, and $102,000 was even spent on a "dog handler" for the family dog Bo.  In his new book entitled "Presidential Perks Gone Royal: Your Taxes Are Being Used For Obama's Re-election", author Robert Keith Gray reveals some absolutely shocking details about the enormous amounts of U.S. taxpayer money that are being…’ 

 

 

 

New Threats to Riot if Obama Loses Election...  [ The threats alone are a reason sufficient for backing President Romney. If left unchecked, the nigger terrorists will be even further emboldened to their already egregious criminal, terroristic ways. No man, woman, or child will be safe if the lethal black cancer grows. The 4 years of O have been complete, utter failure and no amount of wobama b***s*** and nigger intimidation can change that fact! Quite simply, niggers are inherently criminal terrorists: Examples of what people are saying include the following;

If obama dont get re-elected & romney wins .. on life every white persons getting pistol whipped and im startin a riot. (SOURCE)

If Obama dont win lets start a riot so Romney know what hes getting himself into. (SOURCE)

You know you aint shit if you gotta MAKE Mafukas vote for ROMNEY ! . Mannnn OBAMA better get back in office . Or BLACK FOLKS will riot. (SOURCE)

Obama's Lucky Charms: A Hindu God In His Pocket, A Masonic Emblem, And A Ring That Says "There Is No God Except Allah"   http://albertpeia.com/ohowweird.htm  Why do our politicians have to be so weird?  { Why? Because in, ie., O’s case, he is weird. Homo/hetero, Muslim/Hindu/Christian, for Wall Street/against Wall Street, prosecute/no prosecute, war/no war, say one thing/do another, truth/no truth, etc.. wobama’s gotten’ by on b***s*** and ‘special consideration’ alone, never having done anything of substance in his entire life. Indeed, even his so-called ‘auto-biographies’ are works of what appear to be ‘choom-gang’ induced fantasies which reveal a psychogenic/dissociative amnesia that works well in the continuing ‘narrative’ devoid of fact on his ‘more b*** s*** campaign trail’ littered with the cowpies of stark reality. People owe themselves and their children more than this grifter’s con which in numbers measures more than the increased deficits of all the presidents since President General Eisenhower combined to obfuscate his unequivocal failure. Drudgereport: UPDATE: Obama gives himself an 'incomplete' grade...   { Wow! The audacity! The unmitigated gall! This from the record holder for fundraisers, 151 and counting. Then there’s the 100 plus rounds of golf in addition to being famously over-vacationed while in office. Did wobama expect that these things would in choom fashion magically come to fruition while he was ‘workin on his tan’, golf swing, or shootin’ hoops on the taxpayer dime? http://albertpeia.com/wobamaschoomgangfantasy.htm 

The point is that you don’t have to love Romney but you at least have to like yourself in saying ‘NO!’ to more wobama b***s*** which is all that he is. Have some self-respect. His grade is unequivocally ‘F’ for failure, having failed to do as promised which coincidentally is a direct cause among others of this debacle called america’s dark obama years.

EPITAPH FOR AMERICA: Nothing quite succeeds like failure in america. I had tried to help underdog (and outsider and former missionary and hard worker and straight shooter) Mitt Romney by coming out early and unequivocally in support of him and change in the disastrous direction of america, unequivocally in decline. Importantly, that also gave me 'license' to say what needed saying but what everyone considers politically incorrect, impolitic, or brutally honest and/but are afraid to say. The key(s) to the election debacle here were the threat of riots and violence by the typical uncivilized niggers. After all, americans generally are without doubt an inherently cowardly people and war-mongering bullies as indicated by past and recent history. I saw this first hand by particularly that screaming old lady lying on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, purse stolen by the nigger who calmly walked away as whites among others walked, passed her by in fear (see immediately infra). Truth be told, I bit my tongue and cringed at every Romney link to corrupt, venal war criminals/criminals/mobsters bushes, cheney, trump, kean, (republicans alito, et als) etc., who have substantially damaged me (along with referenced democrats, to be fair). Then there's that contra-indicated love-fest with war mongering/war crimes nation, illegal nuke totin' israel (almost more than I could bear). On the positive side, trusting in GOD only as I do, I must confess I was happy to see the destruction of the jersey shore and appropriately, rockaway beach, queens, new york (jersey mob and gambino crime family connection). A lesson to all, Romney particularly, never trust a half-breed sicilian former federal government slug; that rotund humpty dumpty christie of jersey infamy. Amazingly, the very people who've been and will prospectively be damaged by nothing more than a mentally troubled fraud, grifter, jive-talking b***s***/con artist obama, gave him the blind support he needed to prevail regardless of his unequivocally failed four years of prior broken campaign promises, reality, and rationality. Self-destructive, mentally challenged/troubled losers? That fits! That america is a hopelessly failed, bankrupt nation in decline, there is no question!

[ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims)' ... while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a 'park' - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA's position with both felonies ( he went to prison - pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of 'bystander effect' / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 blacks and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA. But, to be fair and balanced, the RICO litigation involves those uncivilized who consider themselves 'whites' http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf (predominantly but not exclusively jews / romans-italians / mobsters / government slugs). http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm     http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm ]

Barack Obama: The Naked Emperor Shocking but true revelations from David Icke (a must read) | Vast numbers of people across the world, including many who should know better, have been duped by the mind-game called Operation Obama... (excerpts) Obama has been the chosen one for a long time, a fact known only to a few in the deep inner circle, and his relationship with Brzezinski almost certainly goes back to the start of the 1980s when he attended the Ivy League, and big-time Illuminati, Columbia University where Brzezinski was head of the Institute for Communist Affairs. Obama simply will not talk in any detail about this period. He has been covertly funded and supported ever since by the Trilateral Commission and its network of foundations connecting into the Ford Foundation, for whom Obama's mother worked. And a question: Does anyone really believe that someone, a 'man of the people', would simply appear from apparently nowhere to run the slickest and best-funded presidential campaign in American history? He was chosen long ago by those who wish to enslave the very people that Obama says he wants to 'set free'. The sources of Obama funding read like a Wall Street Who's Who - Goldman Sachs, UBS, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, J.P. Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and so on. No wonder he went back on his pledge to accept the limitations of public funding for his campaign and instead took the no-limit option of 'private fundingThen there is the Jewish financier, George Soros, the multi-billionaire associate of Brzezinski and closely involved with the funding and marketing of Obama. Soros is a former board member of the Illuminati's Council on Foreign Relations and funds the European Council on Foreign Relations. In short, he is a major insider' You can certainly see the Soros/Brzezinski techniques in the Obama 'revolution' in the United States. It was the complex and secretive network of Soros foundations and organisations, connected to the intelligence agencies of the US and Israel, that trained and funded students in the Ukraine, Georgia and elsewhere in the art of mass protest and overthrowing governments. These manufactured protests were sold to the world as peoples' revolutions, but it just so happened that when they were over and the old regime was removed the new leaders were those waiting in the wings all along - the puppets of Soros, Brzezinski and their associated networks. Obama is just more of the same, a big smile with strings attached, and controlled completely by the Illuminati networks that chose him, trained him, sold him and provided his record funding. It was they who kept his many skeletons under wraps, like the gay sex and crack cocaine allegations of Larry Sinclair (from affidavit: 1. Who is Ron Allen that claims to be with your Presidential camp, who is alleged to claim that someone claiming to represent me called asking for $100,000, to keep me from coming forward about our (Obama and I) November 1999 encounter of sex and cocaine use?), and they will continue to do so as long as he jumps to their bidding. Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself for fame and power, and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. His financial advisors are straight from the Wall Street 'A' list, including Paul Adolph Volker (Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group), the head of the Federal Reserve from 1979 to 1987 and Illuminati to his fingertips. Obama has made him head of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which is dominated by insiders, including its staff director and chief economist, Austan Goolsbee, a close Obama associate from the University of Chicago. Goolsbee is an initiate of the infamous Illuminati Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, which also includes Boy and Father Bush. It was Goolsbee who told the Canadian government not to worry about Obama's attacks on the economic effects of free trade agreements because his words were just to win votes in the election campaign. Another Wall Street insider, the Zionist Timothy Geithner (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations), was appointed by Obama to be his Treasury Secretary. Geithner was the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the most powerful in the private Federal Reserve cartel that masquerades as America's central bank, and he is a former employee of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the appalling Kissinger Associates. Obama's Treasury team locks into the inner circle around the Zionist Robert Rubin, the Director and Senior Counselor of Citigroup, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and economic advisor to Obama. Rubin, a member of the Illuminati Bilderberg Group, was the man behind Citigroup's strategy of expanding its risk in debt markets which forced it to be rescued by taxpayers' money. The very people who caused the financial crisis are being appointed by Obama to decide how to respond to it (more taxpayers' money for them and their friends)

The recent election also confirms this very american trend of corruption, decline, and abject failure. Phil Jackson will always be a winner, a champion! }

It’s unfortunate this ‘reporter’ and others who repeated the article’s erroneous statements chose to speculate rather than report, failing to confirm this information with EDD."

FACEBOOK RESPONSE:

 

Bob: I'm 100% behind law enforcement in their ever more increasingly difficult task of law enforcement, in this ever more lawless nation, particularly in meaningfully lawless new jersey. Unfortunately, when I went to vote, I was asked to grant facebook broad 'authority' which as a matter of internet policy (to prevent a multitude of problems, hacking, etc.) I don't do (facebook's very politicized in a pro-wobama way and hooked into those goldman frauds et als, on fraudulent wall street). Since wobama people do it, you can put in an extra vote on my behalf. I'm currently stonewalled awaiting a formal reply from the fbi inasmuch as I must account for my time wherever I ultimately locate. Below is some recent posted commentary and a response to Congresswoman Roybal-Allard as per her request (I did not receive a reply from Sen. Feinstein regarding the aforesaid matters). Hope you and your family are well.

Dianne Feinstein: No need to debate Republican opponent... { Riiiight! Things are going so swimmingly (as in drowning) for the nation and california particularly. Actually, I responded to a ‘generic’ email / facebook request from her with my subsequent request that she help to elicit a formal response from the FBI as promised regarding the RICO matters (the other incompetent, failed perennial senator barbara boxer actually had ‘made her presence known’ in the corrupted process regarding usdcj matz/lester and the default of the u.s. which missed the filing date which error was compounded by the misstatement of the rule in court on the record by asst. us attorney robert i. lester); but, no response... http://albertpeia.com/selfdefense.htm   [ One thing is certain from my own direct experience { The unfortunate reality is what I’ve alluded to in the context of my own direct experience; viz., america’s ‘legal system’ is an illegal system used to cover-up crimes, arbitrarily enforce laws to apply pressure, etc., and essentially run by the inmates of this collective criminal entity called america: http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf

I believe reasonable diligence requires self-reliance more than ever before in this nation’s history; particularly when political correctness in some states prevents calling a spade a spade to the substantial detriment of law enforcement! ]

11-5-11 Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. 43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

America also leads in the illegal drug trade.  In fact, many researchers reveal that the war on drugs is only utilized to control and monopolize the illicit drug trade.  The US government has been caught multiple times shipping in cocaine [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvbdiWgwsA , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQNSoOX-dcw&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG1Id2qpSOE&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEUhpxeuP4&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyM43Sw2OVc&feature=related ] , colluding with certain cartels [ http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/08/does_mexican_drug_cartel_have_deal_with_us_government.html ] to control the industry, and now openly protects and transports opium from Afghanistan [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElEciFI0Pew ] .  In fact, Global Research points out that in 2001, “according to UN figures, opium production had fallen to 185 tons. Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [ http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world ] ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

Guest Post: The West Has Just Become A Giant Banana Republic  Legal precedent means nothing. Rule of law means nothing. Free speech means nothing. Their own treaties mean nothing. Its unbelievable. Anyone in the west who honestly thinks hes still living in a free society is either a fool or completely out of touch. If that seems too radical an idea, consider that ECUADOR is now the only nation which stands to defend freedom and human rights against an assault from the United States, the United Kingdom, and their spineless allies. The west has just become a giant banana republic. Have you hit your breaking point yet? If not now when?  { { Im really constrained to interject my own direct experience with the FBI here; and, I must say I do so lamentably. If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the tough questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal drug ops (opsriiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You cant make this stuff up. I also dont believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. Im beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the federal (judicial) system who share the same employer; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared more fairly with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:  Debauchery: An American specialty In the land of Lindsay Lohan and Snooki, some federal workers reflect our culture all too well. (Washington Post) [ Lindsay Lohan? Come on Mr. Milbank, hands off the low hanging fruit. Shes totally harmless. Jersey italian snooki? In mob infested new jersey, who knows (one of the properties in my proceedings for which surplus funds are unaccounted for was a top floor balconied 2 bedroom 1 and 1/2 bath condominium (beach/boardwalk front w/indoor pool/sauna) in seaside heights, n.j. 10-31-12 Post Sandy: Im wondering if its still there. ). But debauchery an american specialty? Another rare instance wherein I agree with Mr. Milbank completely. 25 Signs That America Is A Seething Cesspool Of Filth And Corruption http://albertpeia.com/25signsamericacesspooloffilthcrimeandcorruption.htm . Review of flawed forensics held close to vest EXCLUSIVE | Documents and interviews show FBI and Justice Department officials took steps to control information uncovered by a task force designed to examine cases involving discredited agents. Many defendants were never notified of flaws in cases. Simply unconscionable (Washington Post) [ Well, I really have to say this. Im awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ) . Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed the level and extent of corruption and criminality within the ranks of the u.s. government before embarking upon this costly quest for justice and simple fairness consistent with clear law (infra, regarding the u.s. governments direct involvement in the illegal drug trade). In this civil RICO matter, there are no innocent bystanders; but rather, perpetrators, accomplices, and co-conspirators. When the fbi agent initially assigned to this matter (Connecticut) abruptly resigned/retired shortly after a conversation, though not central to my case, wherein I had said that rudy giulianis father had been an (convicted) enforcer for the mob (served 12 years? in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter?) and then sent him documentation owing to his disbelief. Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard. I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agents departure who somewhat plaintively (my call being a burden) told me that he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari, which he didnt explain further. Could anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jerseys FBI office, I was greeted by an FBI Agent who sarcastically asked me whether I was going to the disco that night (the documents including sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alitos office in the same building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   . We all can infer sam alitos reward / quid pro quo for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme court.  There was never a question as to maryanne trump barrys interest in corrupting the judicial process as related to her brothers (trump) casinos. Jersey city boy louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klayman as the most corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly holders impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvds sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference. Im currently being stonewalled by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI Agent Bill Lewis.

The Takedown Of Gold A Sign That The Entire Global Financial System Is About To Crash ?

http://albertpeia.com/globalfinancialsystemcrash.htm

 

‘…So who is behind all of this orchestration?  Well, according to Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, it is actually the Federal Reserve... The Federal Reserve began its April Fools assault on gold by sending the word to brokerage houses, which quickly went out to clients, that hedge funds and other large investors were going to unload their gold positions and that clients should get out of the precious metal market prior to these sales. As this inside information was the governments own strategy, individuals cannot be prosecuted for acting on it. By this operation, the Federal Reserve, a totally corrupt entity, was able to combine individual flight with institutional flight. Bullion prices took a big hit, and bullishness departed from the gold and silver markets. The flow of dollars into bullion, which threatened to become a torrent, was stopped. In fact, Dr. Roberts says that former Goldman Sachs trader Andrew Maguire is reporting that the Fed orchestrated the dumping of 500 tons of naked gold shorts into the market on Friday... According to Andrew Maguire, on Friday, April 12, the Feds agents hit the market with 500 tons of naked shorts. Normally, a short is when an investor thinks the price of a stock or commodity is going to fall. He wants to sell the item in advance of the fall, pocket the money, and then buy the item back after it falls in price, thus making money on the short sale. If he doesnt have the item, he borrows it from someone who does, putting up cash collateral equal to the current market price. Then he sells the item, waits for it to fall in price, buys it back at the lower price and returns it to the owner who returns his collateral. If enough shorts are sold, the result can be to drive down the market price. As Dr. Roberts noted, this represents an absolutely massive amount of gold... Consider the 500 tons of paper gold sold on Friday. Begin with the question, how many ounces is 500 tons? There are 2,000 pounds to one ton. 500 tons equal 1,000,000 pounds. There are 16 ounces to one pound, which comes to 16 million ounces of short sales on Friday. Who has 16 million ounces of gold? At the beginning gold price that day of about $1,550, that comes to $24,800,000,000. Who has that kind of money? A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE NEED TO BE CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATED. Meanwhile, many are considering this takedown of gold to be an ominous sign that another major financial crisis may be heading our way. Just remember what happened back in 2008.  As Zero Hedge noted on Monday, the price of gold suddenly plunged 21 percent in July 2008.  That was just a couple of months before the U.S. stock market crashed in the fall...

‘THE MAN WHO PREDICTED JAPAN’S LOST DECADE THE RECESSION OF 1990-92 THE BIGGEST BULL MARKET RUN IN U.S. HISTORY AND MOST RECENTLY, THE 2008 CREDIT CRISIS AND STOCK MARKET CRASH NOW PREDICTS:

"DOW 3300!"  http://albertpeia.com/dow3300.htm 

 

Yes, today the Dow Jones Average may be near historic highs…
but it won’t be for long! The Dow
will drop.

 

*  Unemployment will move higher again, to roughly 15% nationwide. It could go as high as 25%

when you include long-term unemployed in the numbers.

 

*  Housing prices will fall an additional 30%, despite the biggest stimulus plan in history and the

lowest mortgage rates in 40 years.

 

*  Personal bankruptcies and property foreclosures will soar as much as 30%. Consumers are

simply saddled with too much debt — $42 trillion or $140,000 for every man, woman and

child in America — for there to be any other outcome. Falling income will only make matters

worse.

 

*  State and municipal governments will be forced into default, especially at the city and country

level. Their budgets are already in crisis and the Federal Reserve is running out of money with

which to cushion these institutions.

 

*  The Federal deficit will balloon from $1.3 trillion to as much as $3 trillion because of huge revenue

shortages.

 

*  The global credit crisis – phase II – will continue to spread around the globe like a contagious

virus. Greece is already down. Spain will be next.

 

A second banking crisis will out, despite the lessons “learned” in 2008. Mortgage companies have

resumed offering low interest, no principal “teaser” loans. Investment banks have begun taking unnecessary risks again. And this time, there’ll be no money for a bailout.

 

ALL OF THIS WILL SEND THE DOW AND OTHER INDEXES TUMBLING AS MUCH AS 70%. IN FACT, WE EXPECT THE DOW TO PLUNGE BACK DOWN TO 3,300 BY LATE 2014.

Yet, there is no question but that the masses so mocked, deserve to be mocked, having embraced their dismal fate at every turn; viz., their embrace of political correctness, though contraindicated, as, ie., the embrace of the violent, destructive nigger who literally would have them for dinner, or the compulsion to embrace that which the state says is right, though contraindicated, for political expedience owing to failure fed (including the incompetent missteps of the failed fed) desperation, ie., gay marriage, etc., contrived wars / conflicts, among other clearly observable, self-interested behavior of people, companies, nations, including the gargantuan bailed out frauds on wall street to everyones (but the frauds) detriment, still unprosecuted. That the jive-talking, b***s*** artist/grifter/con-man obama has not been held to even one of his former now broken campaign promises and is embraced by those foolish enough to believe more of the same is testament to how deserving of mocking the masses truly are (people should be outraged and wobama should be ridden out on a rail).

Which hits first?  http://albertpeia.com/100yearbear.htm  ‘…Many other Dr. Dooms predict new 2008 crash, long bear market  Today, Prechter is in great company, one of many other well-known Dr. Dooms who have long-term visions, in a myopic world. Youll see Prechter alongside such other great Dr. Dooms as Hong Kongs Marc Faber ... celebrity economist Nouriel Roubini ... Nobel economist Joseph Stiglitz, author of Freefall ... $100 billion money manager Jeremy Grantham, who says our GDP is On the Road to Zero Growth ... Forbes columnist Gary Shilling, who sees the S&P dropping 45% to 800... historian Niall Ferguson, author of Colossus: The Rise and Fall of The American Empire ... hedge fund genius Nassim Taleb, author of Black Swan ... former IMF chief economist Simon Johnson, co-author of White House Burning and Doomsday Cycle ... billionaire trader George Soros, who just made a billion shorting the yen ... economists Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff, whose classic This Time is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly says it all ... anthropologist Jared Diamond whose Collapse warns us that throughout history civilizations fail because leaders fail to plan and act in time ... and other Dr.Dooms were tracking. So yes, Prechter and his Dow 400 and 100-year bear-market predictions are in good company. And we even have to include Pimcos Mohamed El-Erian, who manages a $2 trillion portfolio along with Bond King Bill Gross. El-Erian recently warned investors about the New Normal: Low Growth, Few Jobs.”…’

Guest Post: All Is Well

        Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. Aldous Huxley

The entire system is corrupt to its core. Both political parties, regulatory agencies, Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, and mainstream media are participants in this enormous fraud. They grow more desperate and bold by the day. The lies, misinformation and propaganda being spewed on a daily basis become more outrageous and audacious. They are using the Big Lie method on a grand scale. They frantically need to lure the muppets into the stock market and the housing market to keep the game going a little longer. You can sense we are reaching a tipping point. The system they have created is mathematically unsustainable. Therefore, it will not be sustained.

 

Heffernan: Microsoft is back — Why the dorky Apple rival is suddenly cool { Forget cool, when it comes to computers/computing, I’m more concerned with stability and performance. As a critic of Microsoft beyond their breakthrough Windows 2000 (professional) and Word offerings, I felt compelled to comment here. XP was a dog and deserving of  criticism (innumerable problems including acting as a ‘virus magnet’). Quite by ‘accident’, I plugged in an old apple usb mouse and my problems with vista (sic), Windows 7, literally disappeared (I then ordered a new usb mouse for right-click, scroll capability). Vista…Whoops, my mistake…I meant to say Windows 7 (not thinking there’s a difference; obviously I haven’t followed their recent past misguided exploits closely)… Windows 7 is by far and away superior to xp (and Vista) in every way. It apparently was the legacy mouse and problems created thereby (with ram, resources, cache/processor, etc.) that impaired stability and performance and I’m happy to say thus far, Windows 7 (with updates to date) is a solid successor to 2000 and microsoft’s best operating system to date (I had  a minor problem with cache/memory which required a work-around and elimination of a program ‘shortcut’ … not a fatal error, but not good either, and no such problems since). I’m now nearly 100% Hewlett Packard (2 desk tops/2 laptops) and really must say that’s a big credit to Hewlett Packard (in 1999 I bought a Compaq laptop for $1,200 new, and it didn’t even boot. To Office Depot’s credit, they gave me my money back – no small task in america today. I thereupon regretfully bought a Sony VAIO – I’ve always had high regard for the late, brilliant Morita – and although windows millennium can be faulted somewhat, I was not able to upgrade to windows 2000 professional for whatever proprietary reason. Computers are just not Sony’s thing. The new HP laptop has windows 8 which I can’t evaluate fairly since the touchscreen capability is not available for this laptop –built into the price however- but it seems stable as is so of windows 7, supra, and the HP laptop a very good value. }

{ We’ve never, in the entire history of economics, finance, markets seen the disconnect from economic/financial reality and fundamentals as pronounced and as great as now. The reality of modern-day computer programs/algos/frauds at lightning computerized speed and sheer desperation on fraudulent wall street whose ever larger protected frauds are literally cheered by failed american leadership at every level. Right now, though contraindicated, the superstitious January effect is in play and manipulated to meet faux bullish expectations. Then too, without doubt, what will be their excuse to not ‘sell in May and go away’ which really should be the mantra at present, now, beyond the hot air, smoke and mirrors, fraud and b***s*** we’re once again seeing in large measure, encouraged and received with ebulliently poised irrational exuberance on wall street and in washington.  Remember the ralleys in sympathy with Apple exuberance, all of which we now know to have had a foundation of little more than ‘apple sauce’. Total b***s***! What’s the next b***s*** story/sizzling fraud? The ‘money’ being cashed out by these frauds has to come from someplace (the real economy) and has already found a way into understated/underreported  inflation rates (for a multiple of staples including food prices), lower margins through higher costs thereby manipulated somewhat by currency manipulations, all of which will be ‘coming due’ in a very big way to the downside, reality-based blowout around the corner. }

America's Bubble Economy Is Going To Become An Economic Black HoleWhat is going to happen when the greatest economic bubble in the history of the world pops?  The mainstream media never talks about that.  They are much too busy covering the latest dogfights in Washington and what Justin Bieber has been up to.  And most Americans seem to think that if the Dow keeps setting new all-time highs that everything must be okay.  Sadly, that is not the case at all. Right now, the U.S. economy is exhibiting all of the classic symptoms of a bubble economy. What we are witnessing right now is the calm before the storm.  Let us hope that it lasts for as long as possible so that we can have more time to prepare. Unfortunately, this bubble of false hope will not last forever.  At some point it will end, and then the pain will begin.  http://albertpeia.com/usbubbleeconomicblackhole.htm

Now she has written a letter to Ben Bernanke, Eric Holder and Mary Jo White.  My favorite line is: “If large financial institutions can break the law and accumulate millions in profits and, if they get caught, settle by paying out of those profits, they do not have much incentive to follow the law.” Indeed, which is why they don’t.  Full letter embedded below.

The Number Of US Citizens On Disability Is Now Larger Than The Population Of GreeceThe tremendous increase in people on SSDI is nothing but a gigantic fraud. Indeed, the program is rife with unaffordable fraud! } The number of people on SSDI now exceeds the entire population of Greece. The aging of the population has nothing to do with the increase. In 1968 there were 51 workers for every person on disability. Today there are 13 workers for every person on disablity. Even the most pollyanna would agree that medical advancements since 1968 have been significant. These medical advancements would argue for less people being on disability and unable to work. Workplace safety measures have been increased exponentially since 1968, so that also argues for less disabled workers. The good old ADA law forced all workplaces to become disabled friendly. That argues for less people on disability. The country has transitioned from a manufacturing society to a service society. Workers dont work on dangerous assembly lines anymore. Robots do the dangerous stuff. This should have dramatically reduced worker injuries and disabilities. The tremendous increase in people on SSDI is nothing but a gigantic fraud. The government broadened the scope of disabilities to include stress, depression, and non-diagnosable things like aches and pains. And don't forget, you get the added benefit of Medicare coverage after only two years of SSDI stress.

 

 

 

MarketWatch  Hunting the last bear Wall Street needs its own Endangered Species Act since it seems everyone is now a bull.  By John Nyaradi ‘… It seems that everyone on Wall Street is a bull today as the S&P 500 SPX +0.41% and Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.32%  have settled into a predictable routine of "another day, another record," despite the steady stream of negative macro economic data.

Bears, now virtually extinct, were hoping instead for a feast as the poor economic reports came pouring in over recent days:

1. April nonfarm payrolls — a mediocre 165,000 payroll jobs added which was celebrated as a huge win by markets last week.

2. ISM nonmanufacturing report showed a decline to 53.1, broadly missing expectations.

3. April manufacturing ISM report posted a drop to 50.7 from 51.3 in March. Because 50 is the threshold which distinguishes contraction from expansion, the April manufacturing PMI fell to just barely within the expansionary range.

4. Euro-zone manufacturing PMI for April declined to 46.7 from 46.8 in March while euro-zone retail sales declined by 0.1% in March. For the 27-nation European Union, March retail sales fell by 0.2%,

5. Euro-zone unemployment came in at 12.1% in March.

6. April's HSBC China Composite PMI (which covers both manufacturing and services) declined to 51.1 from 53.5 in March, indicating the weakest rate of expansion since last October. Hong Kong's PMI also settled into contractionary territory at 49.9, down from 50.5 in March.

Despite all the bad economic news, Wall Street bears look positively cadaverous as financial markets levitate higher and seemingly disconnect from the real economy. This disconnect is generating an expanding discussion, and even a name, "The Great Disconnect," which has followed "The Great Recession," as Wall Street's fortunes look decidedly different from those on Main Street.

Everyone seems to be in agreement that the recent financial levitation has been generated by global central banks, and during his presentation at last week's 10th annual Strategic Investment Conference, presented by Altegris Investments and John Mauldin, Pimco's Mohamed El-Erian emphasized that investors must be ready for the "hand off" by central banks, when the era of assisted support gives way to the era of organic growth.

Even the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett, has joined the discussion by saying that when the Federal Reserve finally raises interest rates from their current near-zero level, it will be the "shot heard around the world".

As the discussion grows louder, the Federal Reserve seems to be coming under ever intensifying pressure, and that was in evidence last week when the Fed announced that it would continue its bond-buying program. known as quantitative easing. Longtime Fed critic Ron Paul emphasized that the program works only to the advantage of big bankers and politicians, while hurting middle-class and impoverished Americans. Warren Buffett echoed a similar theme when he pointed out — at Berkshire Hathaway's BRK.A +0.96% annual shareholders' meeting in Nebraska — that the Fed's quantitative easing program has made life difficult for people who live on fixed-income investments…’   {  Modern 1920’s redux … all we need are ‘flappers’!  }

 

 

 


MarketWatch Survive the financial apocalypse   Paul Merriman  We're heading for a major decline. Here are 9 steps to take to protect yourself.

 

 

The Financial Press: A Disinformation Machine   Paul Craig Roberts | Let’s take a walk through the BLS report and you can arrive at your own conclusion.   { All bad news and these ever more worthless commissioned-paper (actually not even) shares at lightning computerized speed are rallying … just like zimbawee (the best performing stock-market of the decade past) … and just like zimbabwee, they’re all a bunch of niggers on wall street (their QE welfare everyone’s paying for included) … no wonder this country’s done/in protracted decline! This is an all too familiar scam that as before, everyone is and will be paying for. How does it feel to be dumb! [Parenthetically, just this moment, an ‘equities expert’ (on one of those syndicated business programs, NBR-just bought out by cnbc which means they just got a lot dumber and I had to turn it off and will never watch NBR again…nbc is a horrible propaganda network (finishing deservingly last among the so-called ‘majors’), mobsters like trump on that ‘apprentice thing’ with toothy nutcases like gary busey, etc.. ‘No credibility whatsoever and a total joke!) said house prices (as well as the ‘paper shares’, gas, oil, food staples, meat, etc.) are rising (duh! … contraindicated implication-‘happy days are here again’)… riiiiight … just like zimbabwee! How pathetic! ]
Goldman 'Explains' The 'Market': "Best Not To Look A Gift-Horse In The Mouth" ZH { Riiiiight! Sounds like a plan! The ‘gift-horse’ that’s … not a gift-horse at all … You’re paying through your nose and teeth. It was amusing to see mainstream media puzzling over the record high gas prices so early in this time of year, and as well, the coming jump in beef prices. There’s no mystery here! This is the natural and inevitable concomitant to ‘printing presses gone wild’. Not printing presses for product for intellectual consumption; but rather, printing presses (whether by print or computer ledger entry) for those ever more worthless paper fiat dollars backed by nothing but insurmountable debt of a defacto bankrupt nation. Remember: There’s no free lunch … fraudulent wall street’s predictable/intended gain (from QE, currency debasement, etc.) is your substantial pain! It’s the zimbabwee financial model gone american …  ,   Kyle Bass Tells 'Nominal' Stock Market Cheerleaders: Remember Zimbabwe
Amid the euphoria of today's crossing of the Dow's Maginot Line at 14,000, Kyle Bass provided a few minutes of sanity this morning in an interview with CNBC's Gary Kaminsky. Bass starts by reflecting on the ongoing (and escalating) money-printing (or balance sheet expansion as we noted here) as the driver of stock movements currently and would not be surprised to see them move higher still (given the ongoing printing expected). However, he caveats that nominally bullish statement with a critical point, "Zimbabwe's stock market was the best performer this decade - but your entire portfolio now buys you 3 eggs" as purchasing power is crushed. Investors, he says, are "too focused on nominal prices" as the rate of growth of the monetary base is destroying true wealth. Bass is convinced that cost-push inflation is coming (as the velocity of money will move once psychology shifts) and investors must not take their eye off the insidious nature of underlying inflation - no matter what we are told by the government (as they will always lie when its critical)…”  ,  Post-Hyperinflationary Zimbabwe Welcomes The Holidays With 80% Unemployment, Empty ATMs And Paralyzed Transport  { Just another typical nigger! Speaking of niggers, if wobama is given the opportunity as he has thus far, he’ll tread the same path as fellow nigger mugabe. } … Zimbabweans are facing bleak holidays this year amid rising poverty, food and cash shortages and political uncertainty, with some describing it as the worst since the formation of the coalition government in the southern African nation.... Banks have closed, ATMs have run out of cash and transport services have been paralyzed." It gets worse: "Zimbabwe's unemployment is pegged at around 80 percent with many people in Harare, the capital, eking out a living by selling vegetables and fruits on street corners." And all of this is after the massive economic imbalances in Zimbabwe's economy should have been "fixed" (or so conventional economic theory would have one believe) courtesy of hyperinflation, which left any savers in tatters, destroyed the value of the old currency, benefited solely debtors  but also allowed a fresh start to a government, which could only remain in power due to a violent power grab by the democratically elected-turned-dictator Robert Mugabe.  }

Yet, there is no question but that the masses so mocked, deserve to be mocked, having embraced their dismal fate at every turn; viz., their embrace of political correctness, though contraindicated, as, ie., the embrace of the violent, destructive nigger who literally would have them for dinner, or the compulsion to embrace that which the state says is right, though contraindicated, for political expedience owing to failure fed (including the incompetent missteps of the failed fed) desperation, ie., gay marriage, etc., contrived wars / conflicts, among other clearly observable, self-interested behavior of people, companies, nations, including the gargantuan bailed out frauds on wall street to everyones (but the frauds) detriment, still unprosecuted. That the jive-talking, b***s*** artist/grifter/con-man obama has not been held to even one of his former now broken campaign promises and is embraced by those foolish enough to believe more of the same is testament to how deserving of mocking the masses truly are (people should be outraged and wobama should be ridden out on a rail). Make no mistake; the reality is that the new world order/so-called elite are not elite at all; but rather, incompetent vegetables who cant do anything right as theyve now proven time and time again.

"The Illuminati Were Amateurs" - Matt Taibbi Explains How "Everything Is Rigged" The Illuminati were amateurs. The second huge financial scandal of the year reveals the real international conspiracy: There's no price the big banks can't fix. Conspiracy theorists of the world, believers in the hidden hands of the Rothschilds and the Masons and the Illuminati, we skeptics owe you an apology. You were right. The players may be a little different, but your basic premise is correct: The world is a rigged game. We found this out in recent months, when a series of related corruption stories spilled out of the financial sector, suggesting the world's largest banks may be fixing the prices of, well, just about everything.

 

 

Albert Edwards' Bleak Crystal Ball Reveals Gold Above $10,000; S&P At 450 ; And Sub-1% Bond Yields "The late Margaret Thatcher had a strong view about consensus. She called it: The process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values, and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects. The same applies to most market forecasts. With some rare exceptions (like our commodity analysts? recent prescient call for a slump in the gold price), analysts don?t like to stand out from the crowd. It is dangerous and career-challenging. In that vein, we repeat our key forecasts of the S&P Composite to bottom around 450, accompanied by sub-1% US 10y yields and gold above $10,000."

Philly Fed Is Latest Economic Miss: Number of Employees Dumps, Inventories Plunge Hardly anyone will be surprised to learn that moments ago we just got the latest disappointing economic indicator for an economy that is clearly accelerating in its deterioration. As expected, the April Philly Fed was the latest economic indicator miss, printing at 1.3, down from last month's 2.0, and below expectations of am increase to 3.0. And while the key New Orders reverted back into negative territory after one brief month positive, it was the other components of the Index that a far more pronounced deterioration, namely the Number of Employees which dumped from 2.7 to -6.8, the biggest drop since May 2012, boding ill for the upcoming April NFP number, as well as the Inventories which plunged from 0.0 to -22.2, which means downward Q1 GDP revisions will be forthcoming from every side momentarily as the Wall Street lemmings are forced to resume trimming their exuberance once more just like in 2012... and 2011... and 2010.

 

 

El-Erian's Summary: "Virtually Every Market Is Trading At Very Artificial Levels""In order for central banks to achieve their ultimate economic objective - which is growth and jobs - they have to push investors into taking more risk than is justified," is the somewhat chilling warning that PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian gives in this excellent interview with the WSJ. "Central banks are operating through the wealth effect and animal spirits," El-Erian says peeling back the truth onion, as they prop up asset prices to "artificial levels, in virtually every market." Worries over the central bankers of the world withdrawing easy money policies too early are "unwarranted," he notes, adding that he suspects, "they will most likely stay too long and they will consciously make that mistake." Critically, though, he sends a message that appears to fit with many of our recent discussions (most recently here) that "if these levels arent validated by the fundamentals, then investors will get hurt."

Guest Post: We're Living Through A Rare Economic Transformation In 1993, management guru Peter Drucker published a short book entitled Post-Capitalist Society. Drucker identified that developed-world economies were entering a new knowledge-based era as opposed to the preceding industrial-based era - which represented just as big a leap from the agrarian-based one it had superseded. From this perspective, the nation-state is no longer indispensable to the knowledge economy, and as a result, Drucker foresaw the emergence of new social structures would arise and co-exist with the nation-state. Drucker summed up the difference between what many term a post-industrial economy and what he calls a knowledge economy this way: "That knowledge has become the resource rather than a resource is what makes our society 'post-capitalist.'  This fact changes fundamentally the structure of society.  The means of production is and will be knowledge." Though he doesnt state it directly, this means that the highly centralized sectors of the economy, from finance to government, will be disrupted by a rapidly evolving, decentralized society of organizations.

{ I no longer will be following Phoenix Capital Resources … too much advertising … too much propaganda … too little meaningfully relevant substance (america et al’s problems are huge). After all, with all china’s faults, not the least of which is communism (I’m definitely not their advocate), one must realistically ask, ‘what nation(s), based on lies and for the sake of military industrial complex profits (as warned against by the great but underrated President General Eisenhower) has been engaged in Orwellian perpetual war despite defacto bankruptcy and pervasive corruption’? Not China… Eureka! Amerika et als!  Inflation Calls BS on the China “Miracle”  http://albertpeia.com/inflationinchina.htm   { For the first time I’m constrained to label a piece by Mr. Summers wishful thinking and a u.s. government propaganda piece at best. While aptly pointing out chinese corruption and fraud as is particularly pervasive in america, he conveniently ignores the success of their primitive, basic, simplistic capitalist business model of low costs (primarily labor, materials, etc.) fueled particularly ab initio by american greed. Go to any store and pick up nearly any product and the likelihood of ‘made in china’ is upwards of 95% (then as well, as with apple, taking into account components). Clearly, Mr. Summers lacks depth of understanding/knowledge concerning costs of tooling, retooling, and manufacturing generally, as well as cost accounting among other business/finance disciplines. As regards their nominal communist system, I remain staunchly opposed to the invariable lie of communism, although the meaningfully lawless (‘too big to fail or jail’) and corrupt, oligarchical crony faux capitalist welfare dependent failing (and ever more socialist) system in america is hardly a laudable alternative.  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm  http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm   .

Kyle Bass Tells 'Nominal' Stock Market Cheerleaders: Remember Zimbabwe Amid the euphoria of today's crossing of the Dow's Maginot Line at 14,000, Kyle Bass provided a few minutes of sanity this morning in an interview with CNBC's Gary Kaminsky. Bass starts by reflecting on the ongoing (and escalating) money-printing (or balance sheet expansion as we noted here) as the driver of stock movements currently and would not be surprised to see them move higher still (given the ongoing printing expected). However, he caveats that nominally bullish statement with a critical point, "Zimbabwe's stock market was the best performer this decade - but your entire portfolio now buys you 3 eggs" as purchasing power is crushed. Investors, he says, are "too focused on nominal prices" as the rate of growth of the monetary base is destroying true wealth. Bass is convinced that cost-push inflation is coming (as the velocity of money will move once psychology shifts) and investors must not take their eye off the insidious nature of underlying inflation - no matter what we are told by the government (as they will always lie when its critical)…”

The entire system is corrupt to its core. Both political parties, regulatory agencies, Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, and mainstream media are participants in this enormous fraud. They grow more desperate and bold by the day. The lies, misinformation and propaganda being spewed on a daily basis become more outrageous and audacious. They are using the Big Lie method on a grand scale. They frantically need to lure the muppets into the stock market and the housing market to keep the game going a little longer. You can sense we are reaching a tipping point. The system they have created is mathematically unsustainable. Therefore, it will not be sustained.

[   12 Pictures That Demonstrate How The New World Order Openly Mocks Us http://albertpeia.com/newworldordervedgesmockus.htm  { First, let me say that the vedges of the so-called new world order are in no real position to mock anyone, so mockable as they indeed are, as the incompetent vegetables that they in fact are, who have been the very architects of ultimately their own and the planet’s decline, fall, and demise. Yet, there is no question but that the ‘masses’ so mocked, deserve to be mocked, having embraced their dismal fate at every turn; viz., their embrace of ‘political correctness’, though contraindicated, as, ie., the embrace of the violent, destructive nigger who literally would have them for dinner, or the compulsion to embrace that which the state says is right, though contraindicated, for political expedience owing to failure fed (including the incompetent missteps of the failed fed) desperation, ie., gay marriage, etc., contrived wars / conflicts, among other clearly observable, self-interested behavior of people, companies, nations, including the gargantuan bailed out frauds on wall street to everyone’s (but the frauds’) detriment, still unprosecuted. That the jive-talking, b***s*** artist/grifter/con-man obama has not been held to even one of his former now broken campaign promises and is embraced by those foolish enough to believe more of the same is testament to how deserving of mocking the masses truly are (people should be outraged and wobama should be ‘ridden out on a rail’). Make no mistake; the reality is that the ‘new world order’/so-called ‘elite’ are not elite at all; but rather, incompetent vegetables who can’t do anything right as they’ve now proven time and time again. As I previously said:

20 Outrageous Examples That Show How Political Correctness Is Taking Over America

"Trenton Makes, The Mayor Takes" Mack Indicted On Corruption Charges

Just a few months back we noted the FBI's arrest of Tony Mack, the Mayor of New Jersey's salubrious capital Trenton. Today, via AP, the mayor and his brother have been indicted on eight counts of extortion, bribery, and mail and wire fraud. The Mayor has continued in his position - even since the September arrest - but the  federal indictment relates to an alleged scheme to accept $119,000 in bribes in exchange for his influence in the development of a garage on city-owned land. Shocked? not so much; but it seems maybe "Trenton Makes, The Mayor Takes" is more appropriate.

 

The 11 "Death Spiral" States   http://albertpeia.com/deathspiralstates.htm

Eleven states made Forbes' list of danger spots for investors including California, New York, Illinois, and Ohio. They warned (and with the cliff it is even more critical), if you have muni bonds in these states - clean up your portfolio; if your career takes you there - rent, don't buy! Two factors determine their list of 'fiscal hellholes'. The first is whether there are more takers (someone who draws money from the government) than makers (the gainfully employed). The second is a state credit-worthiness score (via Conning) based on large debts, uncompetitive business climates, weak home prices, and bad trends in employment. Conning rates North Dakota the safest state to lend money to, Connecticut the most hazardous. A state qualifies for the Forbes' death spiral list if its taker/maker ratio exceeds 1.0 and it resides in the bottom half of Conning’s ranking. See below for the 11 states to avoid...no matter what Bob Toll, Larry Yun, Bob Pisani, or Alexandra Lebenthal tells you..

 

Worst-run states

New Jersey

Between 2010 and 2011, New Jersey’s GDP contracted by 0.5% — more than all but three states. The state’s median household income and poverty rate both ranked third in the nation. On the other hand, the state’s tax burden on its residents was second highest in the U.S. in 2010. Residents paid 12.4% of their income in state and local taxes — higher than any other state except neighboring New York. The state has budget problems, as well, according to the 24/7 Wall St. analysis. New Jersey’s debt as a percentage of revenue was 91.6%, the fifth-highest of all states.

I want to know what wars farrell’s fought in, or how many of his own children have died in same.

San Fran Fed Blames High California Unempolyment And Rising Poverty On Highly Efficient Workers For the past three years we have been pounding the table on one very simple fact: when it comes to jobs, there is a quantitative picture, which is often muddied by seasonal adjustments and political narrative but which the mainstream loves for the simply, clear plotline: "the US created [   ] jobs in the past month", and there is a qualitative one: one which takes into account the far more important quality of the jobs created in the US economy in whole or in part (such as in various states). It appears this simple logic has finally trickled down to those masters of the obvious at the San Fran Fed who have just released a paper titled "Job Growth and Economic Growth in California" whose summary is as follows: "California job growth over the past two decades has been relatively anemic compared with gains in the rest of the country. Nevertheless, economic output has grown faster in California than in the rest of the United States. One factor underlying this pattern may be the growth of higher-wage jobs in California, which has contributed more to output than to employment growth. This creates relatively few opportunities for low-skilled workers, which may help explain why poverty increased more in California than in most states over the period."

A Surprising Number Of Americans Believe In Conspiracy Theories And Many Of Them Are Actually True

http://albertpeia.com/trueconspiracytheories.htm

 

 

Marc Faber: "I Am Sure Governments Will One Day Take Away 20-30% Of My Wealth" We cautioned readers in 2011 that in a broke world in which the ridiculously named "muddle-through" has miserably failed, a global wealth tax seeking to expropriate some 30% of all financial assets is coming. Few took it seriously, and why should they - after all the market has been blissfully rising before and ever since then, which implies everything was ok, right? Wrong, as those who are lining up right now in the Cyprus late of night not to buy a shiny new iTrinket, but to access a measly 300 of their own money would promptly admit. Naturally, if more of our Cypriot readers had paid attention, they would have far more of their own money at their disposal right now, instead of having to beg Merkel's emissaries for a 300 handout tomorrow. Now, a year and a half later, the realization that the global wealth tax is not only coming but is inevitable in practically every developed country, is finally sinking in, as this interview with Marc Faber confirms: "Until now, the bailouts in Europe and the U.S. were at the expense of the taxpayer. And from now onwards, in my view, the bailouts will also be at the expense of the asset holders, the well-to-do people. So if you have money I am sure the governments will one day take away 20-30% of my wealth."He is correct, but probably optimstic.

 

 

 

This Is How A Country Ends: Not With A Bang, But A Bailout Curious how in the New Normal a nation is brought to its untimely end without a single shot being fired? Dimos Dimosthenous, who has worked at the Bank of Cyprus for over 30 years, explains: "That will be the end. Our jobs, our rights, our welfare funds will be lost and Cyprus will be destroyed." In short: not with a bang, but a bailout.

 

 

 

5 things you can't resell  Marketwatch:  Despite Supreme Court ruling upholding resales, some items cause trouble. ‘A U.S. Supreme Court ruling earlier this week was a big win for consumers who value the right to resell products they have purchased — even if they bought them abroad. In the case in question, publisher John Wiley & Sons accused a former college student of infringing on its copyright when he bought less-expensive Asian versions of the publisher’s textbooks and then resold them to U.S. students on eBay. (The books, it said, were meant to be sold only in certain regions.) The court held that the so-called “first sale” doctrine — which allows that once a company sells a copyrighted product, the purchaser has the right to later resell it — applies even if the product was produced outside the U.S. But it’s not a universal right. There are some notable exceptions of items that, once bought, aren’t so easy to unload.’ — Kelli B. Grant

Guest Post: How I Became A Trillionaire (And Some Thoughts On Inflation) These photos illustrate the fundamentally arbitrary nature of fiat (paper) money. Why do we prefer the $100 greenback over the $100 trillion note issued by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe? The purchasing power of the Benjamin far exceeds the purchasing power of the $100 trillion bill. But the Benjamin is not immune to inflation; the dollar has lost about 95% of its 1900 purchasing power.  If 95% of households are experiencing a loss of purchasing power and most of the new money and credit are flowing to the top 5%, you get asset bubbles, not demand-driven inflation. When 95% of the households are poorer in terms of purchasing power and financial wealth, where can demand-driven inflation arise in a global economy of massive manufacturing and labor over-capacity? The rise in costs within industries controlled by cartels (healthcare, higher education, defense, etc.) may look like demand-driven inflation, but are actually transfers of wealth and purchasing power from households to the government-protected cartels.

Reality Check: The Dow Jones Industrial Average Vs. Bananas The Dow Jones Industrial Average, one of the key benchmarks of the US stock market, has soundly surpassed its all-time high. And most of the investing world is toasting their collective success and celebrating the recovery. Its a funny thing, really. Most investors only think in terms of nominal numbers, i.e. Dow 14,000+ is 40% higher than Dow 10,000 (back in November 2009). But few think in terms of real numbers... inflation-adjusted averages. Everyone knows that inflation exists. We can all look back on prices from the past and realize instantly how much more expensive things have become. Conversely, though, most people dont think about the stock market like this. The reality is, though, that when you adjust for inflation, the Dow is well below its highs from over a decade ago. We thought wed put this into a bit of perspective...

One really has to wonder as to the soundness and rationality of Germany’s decision in answering, why fraudulent america and not the renown, trustworthy and reputable Swiss Banks for storing their gold. } Everything the Bundesbank does is close to perfection.

I dont have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. Its a depression. Everybodys out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickels worth. Banks are going bust. We know things are bad. Worse than bad. Theyre crazy. Its like everything everywhere is going crazy so we dont go out anymore. We sit in a house as slowly the world were living in is getting smaller and all we say is, Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Things have got to change my friends. Youve got to get mad. Youve got to say, Im as mad as hell and Im not going to take this anymore!

Post-Hyperinflationary Zimbabwe Welcomes The Holidays With 80% Unemployment, Empty ATMs And Paralyzed Transport  { Just another typical nigger! Speaking of niggers, if wobama is given the opportunity as he has thus far, he’ll tread the same path as fellow nigger mugabe. } … Zimbabweans are facing bleak holidays this year amid rising poverty, food and cash shortages and political uncertainty, with some describing it as the worst since the formation of the coalition government in the southern African nation.... Banks have closed, ATMs have run out of cash and transport services have been paralyzed." It gets worse: "Zimbabwe's unemployment is pegged at around 80 percent with many people in Harare, the capital, eking out a living by selling vegetables and fruits on street corners." And all of this is after the massive economic imbalances in Zimbabwe's economy should have been "fixed" (or so conventional economic theory would have one believe) courtesy of hyperinflation, which left any savers in tatters, destroyed the value of the old currency, benefited solely debtors  but also allowed a fresh start to a government, which could only remain in power due to a violent power grab by the democratically elected-turned-dictator Robert Mugabe.

Goldman 'Explains' The 'Market': "Best Not To Look A Gift-Horse In The Mouth" ZH { Riiiiight! Sounds like a plan! The ‘gift-horse’ that’s … not a gift-horse at all … You’re paying through your nose and teeth. It was amusing to see mainstream media puzzling over the record high gas prices so early in this time of year, and as well, the coming jump in beef prices. There’s no mystery here! This is the natural and inevitable concomitant to ‘printing presses gone wild’. Not printing presses for product for intellectual consumption; but rather, printing presses (whether by print or computer ledger entry) for those ever more worthless paper fiat dollars backed by nothing but insurmountable debt of a defacto bankrupt nation. Remember: There’s no free lunch … fraudulent wall street’s predictable/intended gain (from QE, currency debasement, etc.) is your substantial pain! It’s the zimbabwee financial model gone american …  ,   Kyle Bass Tells 'Nominal' Stock Market Cheerleaders: Remember Zimbabwe Amid the euphoria of today's crossing of the Dow's Maginot Line at 14,000, Kyle Bass provided a few minutes of sanity this morning in an interview with CNBC's Gary Kaminsky. Bass starts by reflecting on the ongoing (and escalating) money-printing (or balance sheet expansion as we noted here) as the driver of stock movements currently and would not be surprised to see them move higher still (given the ongoing printing expected). However, he caveats that nominally bullish statement with a critical point, "Zimbabwe's stock market was the best performer this decade - but your entire portfolio now buys you 3 eggs" as purchasing power is crushed. Investors, he says, are "too focused on nominal prices" as the rate of growth of the monetary base is destroying true wealth. Bass is convinced that cost-push inflation is coming (as the velocity of money will move once psychology shifts) and investors must not take their eye off the insidious nature of underlying inflation - no matter what we are told by the government (as they will always lie when its critical)…”  ,  Post-Hyperinflationary Zimbabwe Welcomes The Holidays With 80% Unemployment, Empty ATMs And Paralyzed Transport  { Just another typical nigger! Speaking of niggers, if wobama is given the opportunity as he has thus far, he’ll tread the same path as fellow nigger mugabe. } … Zimbabweans are facing bleak holidays this year amid rising poverty, food and cash shortages and political uncertainty, with some describing it as the worst since the formation of the coalition government in the southern African nation.... Banks have closed, ATMs have run out of cash and transport services have been paralyzed." It gets worse: "Zimbabwe's unemployment is pegged at around 80 percent with many people in Harare, the capital, eking out a living by selling vegetables and fruits on street corners." And all of this is after the massive economic imbalances in Zimbabwe's economy should have been "fixed" (or so conventional economic theory would have one believe) courtesy of hyperinflation, which left any savers in tatters, destroyed the value of the old currency, benefited solely debtors  but also allowed a fresh start to a government, which could only remain in power due to a violent power grab by the democratically elected-turned-dictator Robert Mugabe.

The Bundesbank Starts a Run on Gold  { Yes, indeed … upon greater reflection, a 7 year wait to repatriate German gold stored at u.s./new york fed, really is a cause for concern. The question is not only whether it’s there (I doubt it!), not only whether what’s there has been displaced (stolen) and supplanted with tungsten gold plate (at best); but, even assuming arguendo it is still there (doubtful), given the undeniable inherent american proclivity for fraud and theft, whether the thieving american frauds will interpose some spurious pretext to preclude if not exclude the possibility of return (the story of america’s foreign and domestic policies in a nutshell). One really has to wonder as to the soundness and rationality of Germany’s decision in answering, why fraudulent america and not the renown, trustworthy and reputable Swiss Banks for storing their gold. } Everything the Bundesbank does is close to perfection. The very fact that it is calling in its gold is monumental in terms of questioning the "full faith and credit" of the United States Treasury... Read More...

What Do German Central Bankers Know That We Don’t?

{ This is a very wise, rational move by Germany which should be lost on no one. Indeed, by so doing, Germany will likely guarantee repatriation of real gold, and not tungsten gold plate. Realize that beyond the theft of $4 trillion still unaccounted for at the new york fed, there have been ever more brazened frauds within the ranks of the u.s. government and connected to the fed. The 360 tons of $100 dollar bills flown into Iraq and disappeared, huge wall street frauds in the trillions still extant and bailed out for the wall street perps by legislated FASB rule change, among many other schemes, scams, facilitated by lightning fast computerization have become both policy and modus operandi of the fed, u.s. government, and insider perps. }

 

It Will Take The Fed Seven Years To Deliver 300 Tons Of German Gold

The amount of gold the Fed supposedly holds, is shown in yellow with a shade of tungsten. Why it will take the Fed 7 years to part with an amount of gold that is less than 5% of its total holdings is anyone's guess.

 

 

Bill Gross Gets It  { Gets what? Why is this surprising? With $4 trillion gone missing (still) at the ny fed, americans should not trust the ny fed. Germany’s move is totally rational. How can anyone trust fraudulent, thieving americans with their money or gold, particularly in the fraud capital of the world, new york city    Michael Savage: Don't trust feds on flu shot...{ Or anything else, for that matter. Indeed, from my direct experience, the actions/inaction of the feds are geared toward making one reliant/dependent upon them (ie., food stamps, faux disability, unemployment comp extensions, ‘protection’ from rampant, blatant crime or not,  etc., despite america’s defacto bankruptcy and the unaffordability of same), despite their unequivocal incompetence and venality. In fact, stepping back, I have seen first hand those siding with/benefiting from (and the encouraging of more crime), ie., RICO defendants et als, actually rewarded by the pervasively corrupt/defacto bankrupt american system (ie., trumps, alito, fed slugees, etc., essentially a combination of and tantamount to what is essentially hush money, bribes, etc.). Pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america is a failed meaningfully lawless nation of marauders/thieves that no longer even remotely resembles what it purports to be and arguably once was.

The 34 Words That May Have Caused Today's Crash In Stocks There is much consternation about what triggered today's rapid escalation of selling pressure in US stocks. As the evening wends on and traders sip their Absinthe, it appears an embargoed record of the Fed's Advisory Panel minutes was at least a major concern as it raised the very real specter that those in charge are concerned at the monster they have created: "there is also concern about the possibility of a breakout of inflation, although current inflation risk is not considered unmanageable, and of an unsustainable bubble in equity and fixed-income markets given current prices."  "Unsustainable bubble"? And this not from some fringe blog but... bankers?

Thats not the way capitalism is supposed to work."

Is This China's 'Minsky Moment'?

China’s credit growth has been outstripping economic growth for five quarters with the corporate debt bubble looking increasingly precarious (as we explained here and here). This raises one key question: where has the money gone? As SocGen notes, although such divergence is not unprecedented, it potentially suggests a trend that gives greater cause for concern – China is approaching a Minsky moment. At the micro level, SocGen points out that a non-negligible share of the corporate sector and local government financial vehicles are struggling to cover their financial expense. At the macro level, they estimate that China’s debt servicing costs have significantly exceeded underlying economic growth. As a result, the debt snowball is getting bigger and bigger, without contributing to real activity (see CCFDs for a very big example). This is probably where most of China’s missing money went.

Select Highlights From Goldman's End Of Trading Recap

"Some color on the extent of the selling from Laine Litman on the futures desk: Starting 6 minutes before the cash close we saw a strong sell off in ESM3. As predicted, volumes and volatility were high. We sold off 7 handles before the additional quick crash of 4.25 points in the final few seconds. Over 110k contracts traded in the last minute. This is the largest non-quarter end volumes seen since November 2011 (117k) and the largest volumes since June 2012 (111k)."

 

 

The Centrally-Planned World Through The Eyes Of Rocky And Bullwinkle

Some of my first memories of television are of a series called The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, which was a witty combination of animated cartoons about the exploits of the title characters, Rocket "Rocky" J. Squirrel and Bullwinkle J. Moose and their nemeses, two Pottsylvanian nogoodniks spies, Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. The show was filled with current event commentary, political and social satire. The show was also filled with commentary on economic and market conditions that resonated with the parents watching the show while the kids focused on the cartoons. Each show ended with the narrator describing the current cliffhanger with a pair of related titles, usually with a bad pun intended. So let's adapt some of my favorite Rocky and Bullwinkle episode titles to modern day; we might see that there are some political and economic challenges that are timeless, as it appears we have been doing the same thing over and over for decades and expecting different results.

Conspicuous Contrarians, Higher Highs, And Complete Complacency

While stocks could continue to climb higher that does not mitigate the underlying risks. In fact, it is quite the opposite. It is very likely that we are creating one, or more, asset bubbles once again. However, what is missing currently is the catalyst to spark the next major correction. That catalyst is likely something that we are not even aware of at the moment. It could be a resurgence of the Eurocrisis, a banking crisis or Japan's grand experiment backfiring. It could also be the upcoming debt ceiling debate, more government spending cuts, or higher tax rates. It could even be just the onset of an economic business cycle recession from the continued drags out of Europe and now the emerging market countries. Regardless, at some point, and it is only a function of time, reality and fantasy will collide. The reversion of the current extremes will happen devastatingly fast. When this occurs the media will question how such a thing could of happened? Questions will be asked why no one saw it coming.

 

 

The Week That Was: May 27th - May 31st 2013

Succinctly summarizing the positive and negative news, data, and market events of the week...

 

 

Dow Dumps 270 Points Intraday To Biggest 2-Week Drop In Six Months

The Dow Jones Utility Index is down 35% in the last two weeks - the largest drop since March 2009. Across the board, what looked like being a normal BTFD day around midday, equity markets were monkey-hammered lowered with the S&P 500's worst 2-week run in 6 months. The Dow dropped over 270 points intraday (and 400 from its Monday highs) - attributed to a large month-end sell-side imbalance. Equity markets appear to be playing catch-down to credit's warning messages (though stocks are only down 1% from Friday's close, it feels like more as they are -2.5% to 3% from the highs). JPY strengthened into the equity sell-off and commodities all legged lower (with WTI -2.5% on the week and Gold unch) even as the USD weakened 0.5% on the week. The reality of the one-way trade was very evident. Treasuries came well off their worst levels of the day but remain 11-14bps higher in yield on the week. VIX, which had also been sending its warning messages, smashed 1.75 vols higher to 16.25%. It seems a lot will be reflecting on the Dow/NKY convergence and the behavior in Japan this week as they note there was no bounce at all in today's closing crash.

Stocks Slide On Hindenburg Omen Sighting

While there is little gained in figuring out the vacillations in equity 'markets' from one moment to the next, there appear to be three reasons being discussed for this drop in stocks. First, this is the worst  month for the long bond in absolute price deterioration since Dec 2009 - for managers in balanced portfolios, there will need to be a month-end rebalancing 'into' bonds and out of stocks to ensure the weightings remain with their mandates. Second, the index rebalancing is having some effect on the equity market (though that has been well telegraphed). Third, and perhaps more important to some, based on intraday data so far, the much-discussed Hindenburg Omen has been spotted. The last time we were this high in stocks and the Hindenburg was spotted was October 2007...

 

 

Shorting Stocks On These POMO Days In June 'Will' Be Hazardous To Your Health

Having shifted our communication stance from 'may' to 'will' last month, the Fed's upcoming POMO schedule offers some insights into the days when shorting (apart from the obvious Tuesdays) will be dangerous (though the BoJ now stuck may require a communication change back to 'may'). We do note that the Fed POMO'd $44 billion out outright Treasury purchases in May (as expected) and plans to do the same in June with $45 billion pegged (strongly suggesting no Taper anytime soon)... it seems next Friday is your first opportunity (though if the last hour is anything to go by... perhaps the Fed's omniptence is being challenged).

 

 

Meanwhile, In Turkey...

While most of the headlines this week have centered on Syria, Sweden (and Switzerland), Turkey has been cooking and today has broken into full-scale riots. As Reuters reports, Turkish police fired tear gas and water cannon on Friday at demonstrators in central Istanbul, wounding scores of people and prompting rallies in other cities in the fiercest anti-government protests for years. The growing unrest centers on disquiet at the authoritarianism of Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan and his Islamist-rooted Justice and Development Party (who just visited Obama). "We do not have a government, we have Tayyip Erdogan ... Even AK Party supporters are saying they have lost their mind, they are not listening to us." The protests somewhat surprisingly were sparked by the uprooting of trees but rapidly escalated (as seen below) into riot police, water cannon, and tear gas battles as protesters exclaim, "we're fed up... we don't like the direction the country is heading."

 

 

Morgan Stanley Head Of Treasury Trading Busted For... Trading Treasurys While At Goldman

Perhaps there is a reason why Morgan Stanley is 'giving up' on its fixed income business. It seems, yet again Morgan Stanley has hired an ex-Goldman Sachs criminal   opportunistic trader. Glenn Hadden, the very head of interest rate trading at Morgan Stanley, has been found guilty of engaging in trading that violated CME rules in Treasury futures on December 19th 2008 - while was employed by Goldman Sachs. While Goldman faces a $875,000 slap on the wrist, Hadden, somewhat remarkably will face a mere $80,000 fine and the wonderfully timed (given the summer doldrums) 10-day suspension from trading. Doing God's work wherever they trade... that'll teach him! And now, back to Glenn manipulating buying and selling the 10 Year.

 

 

Britain To Arm Syrian Rebels; Russia Retaliates By Shipping 10 MiGs To Assad

Following Russia's first shipment of S-300 Rockets and the CNN-reported deaths of American and British citizens, it seems the situation in Syria is escalating 'behind-the-scenes' with little attention being paid in general. Whether it is the deaths or not, but according to the FT, the 'war-by-proxy' is growing in numbers as the UK is poised to ship arms to some rebel factions in Syria as soon as this summer. "The precise timing has not yet been finalized and no decision has yet been taken. But we are likely to be ... shipping arms to the rebels by August," one official noted, adding that "the rebels need ammunition, and a lot of it, just to keep fighting." The US had secretly undertaken significant lobbying efforts of EU member states to get the EU arms embargo amended and this week Britain and France forced through that deal opening the door for the supply of weapons. Adding to the angst, Russia's MiG aircraft makers said on Friday that it planned to sign a new agreement to ship at least 10 fighter jets to Syria.

Government: "A Seedy Circus... Perpetually In Debt"

Is there a better phrase to describe modern government than “a seedy circus which is perpetually in debt?” It is perfect. Government is exhausted. It, like Whipsnade’s circus, is  out of resources, ideas and solutions. Government has painted itself into a fiscal and financial corner from which there is no escape. As a result of its profligacy, government is no longer able to sustain itself. That is the real reason for the Fed’s quantitative easing program(s). Taxes and traditional government bond sales no longer provide enough money to run the monster. QE, more properly described as counterfeiting, is a euphemism to disguise the insolvency of the government. Without the Federal Reserve, government would have to pare down dramatically. Government is now a facade, with guns. It has failed miserably at governance and shifted its focus to survival.

With The G-4 Central Banks "All In", Pimco Speculates When QE Finally Ends

"QE detractors... see something quite different. They see QE as not responding to the collapse in the money multiplier but to some extent causing it. In this account QE – and the flatter yield curves that have resulted from it – has itself broken the monetary transmission mechanism, resulting in central banks pushing ever more liquidity on a limper and limper string. In this view, it is not inflation that’s at risk from QE, but rather, the health of the financial system. In this view, instead of central banks waiting for the money multiplier to rebound to old normal levels before QE is tapered or ended, central banks must taper or end QE first to induce the money multiplier and bank lending to increase."

 

 

Guest Post: Is It Fixable?

In the 15th century, the highest standard of living in the world belonged to China. Places like Nanjing had reached the pinnacle of civilization with incredibly modern infrastructure, robust economies, substantial international trade, great healthcare, and a rising middle class. If you had told a Chinese merchant at the time that, over the course of the next several hundred years, global primacy would shift to Europe (and a relatively unknown American continent), you would have been laughed at. It was simply unthinkable given how advanced China was over the west. And yet, it happened. Ironically, the tables are turning yet again; in total objectivity, the patient is beyond cure at this point… and the math is quite simple. Nations typically enter this vicious cycle once they start having to borrow money just to pay interest on what they already owe. The US is already way past this point.

Why Is The Smart Money Suddenly Getting Out Of Stocks And Real Estate?

Just three weeks ago we noted Apollo Group's Leon Black's comment that his firm was "selling everything not nailed down," and that he sees "the market is pricey... in our view, priced for perfection." It seems he is not alone in the 'buy-low-sell-high' crowd. If wonderful times are ahead for U.S. financial markets, then why is so much of the smart money heading for the exits?  Does it make sense for insiders to be getting out of stocks and real estate if prices are just going to continue to go up?

 

 

April Core Retail Sales Were Just Revised From A 100% Beat To A Miss

When two weeks ago we reported on the core retail sales "beat", we were surprised. Here's why: "Retail sales ex autos were in line with expectations at -0.1%, on expectations of a -0.2% print, but it was the sales number ex-autos and gas which surprised the most, rising 0.6% on expectations of a +0.3% increase, up from a -0.1% decline." We are no longer surprised. Reuters has the answer: US APRIL RETAIL SALES EX-AUTOS/GASOLINE REVISED TO +0.2 PCT (PREV +0.6 PCT) And, as a reminder, the consensus was for a +0.3% print. So instead of a 100% beat relative to consensus, it was a 50% miss. Why did this happen: from the Census Bureau: "retail sales estimates were revised to reflect the introduction of a new sample, new seasonal factors, and results of the 2011 Annual Retail Trade Survey." Of course, the algos who bid stocks up on the flashing read headline of this now outdated and flawed "beat", will certainly go back and sell all the stocks they were otherwise going to buy, since it is now a "miss."

 

 

Consumers Most Confident Since 2007, Celebrate By Biggest Spending Drop In One Year

It doesn't get any better than this. For the fifth month in a row, UMich consumer confidence has beaten expectations and its final print at 84.5 for May is the highest in six years. This 'confidence' survey fits with the conference board's exuberance also. We can only assume that it is the one-year high mortgage rates and considerably lower-than-expected income and spending that is driving it? As a gentle reminder, the US consumer was this cock-a-hoop just before the market last topped in Q3 2007 - so we are not sure if it is 'useful' for anyone but a self-aggrandizing anchoring-biased asset-gatherer. Current economic conditions (at Oct 2007 highs) are surging (as are expectations) by their most since Sep 2009. Of course, in perfect 'correlation' with this 'confidence', these consumers decided that May was the first time in a year to cut spending...

 

 

Chicago PMI Soars To Highest Since March 2012 Crashing Expectations, Respondents Despondent

So much for all the other diffusion indices, both around the world and in the US, telegraphing manufacturing contraction. Three minutes before its official release, the rumor was that the subscribers had seen a 58.7 print, on expectations of a 50.0 number, and up from 49.0 Sure enough, this is just what happened when the official number hit, leading the Chicago PMI to the highest print since March 2012: a 8 sigma beat to the consensus print and far higher than the biggest forecast. And while last time the plunge in the PMI was bullish for stocks as it meant no Tapering, today the beat is also bullish because it means QE is working, and as a result the stock market has wiped out all earlier losses. Looking at the report, backlogs, deliveries and employment all snapped out of sub 50 contraction, while production soared from 49.9 to a ridiculous 62.7. Even employment soared from 48.7 to 56.9. Amusingly, the only thing that dipped in April was Inventories, down from 40.6 to 40.4.

 

 

Up, Up And Away: At Least Something Is Going "Straight Up"

Sadly, that "something" has nothing to do with the real economy, but it has everything to do with the stock market which is all that matters to the Fed. Presenting the Adjusted Reserves held by Fed banks: it is, logically, at a fresh all time high. This is the low-powered money that due to capital allocation preferences continues to go, every day for the past 4 years, not into the broader economy (blame it on the 2s10s, or the disastrous state of the US consumer who has no desire for loans, or what have you) but straight into the S&P500. Since the full blown launch of QE3 excess bank reserves have grown by $500 billion, or roughly a 30% increase in six months. Which is also the reason why the S&P has correlated not with any actual fundamental data, but only this chart for the past 6 or so months.

 

 

Europe's Scariest Chart Goes Parabolic

Ireland has seen its youth unemployment rate drop for 10 of the last 11 months and has dropped to a 'mere' 26.6% - the lowest since July 2010 - in what is truly the only possible silver lining in today's absolutely dreadful data release. All four of the other PIIGS nations now have broken the dismal Maginot Line of 40% youth unemployment with Italy finally joining the club (Italy 40.5%, Portugal 42.5%, Spain 58.2%, and Greece 62.5%). What is even more concerning is that not only are these rates extremely high but they are accelerating with all four of these dark nations seeing their rates rising faster than in recent months (this was the 2nd fastest rise in Greek youth unemployment ever). Overall, Europe's youth unemployment rate continues to march higher (to 24.4%) having not fallen for 24 months, but it is Spain that is the 'winner' with 41 consecutive months without a drop in youth unemployment. With welfare benefits running dry, and Sweden and Switzerland already running hot, we fear this summer may bring the much-feared unrest so many have been concerned about.

 

April Income Lower Than Expected, Leads To Weaker Spending; Savings Rate At Unsustainable Lows

In yet another confirmation that the US consumer continues to get slammed, and is respectively slamming the GDP by spending less, today's April personal spending and personal income both missed expectations, printing flat and declining -0.2% from the March numbers, much as expected following the Q1 spending spree, which means that economic growth in Q2 and onward as a function of consumer spending will only "taper" going forward especially with the delayed impacts of the payroll tax negative effect on spending finally starting to trickle down. What's worse, is that since incomes did not improve in April, the savings rate remained flat at a minuscule 2.5%, or just off the lowest its has been since the start of the Second Great Fed-propped Depression.

 

All Time Record Gold Transactions Reported By LBMA

Weakness in gold and silver is leading to robust demand internationally as store of value buyers accumulate gold and silver on this dip. This is particularly the case in Asia where premiums remain robust and supply demand imbalances remain. The persistent strong demand of this week began on the price falls in April. This demand is clearly seen in the London gold and silver trading data released by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) yesterday. London gold trading jumped to a 20 month high in April and silver volumes surged 25% after the price falls led to an increase in physical buying, the LBMA said in a report. Trading in gold averaged 24.1 million ounces a day in the London market, the most for any month since gold reached record nominal highs in August 2011, the LBMA said in a statement yesterday as reported by Bloomberg.  The 24.1 million ounces was a 10% increase on March when 21.8 million ounces a day were traded. Silver volume surged nearly 25% to 165.2 million ounces a day, up from 132.5 million ounces in March. There were 5,395 gold transactions on average per day, the highest on record, while silver transfers at 1,007 a day were the second-highest ever, according to the report.

 

 

For Whom The Bell Tolls

The European Union is leading the nations of Europe nowhere. They have sat there and languished in their own self-adoration, propped up their egos on self-congratulation and flounced recitals of praise fluffed and huffed by one politician and told to another. They have a central bank promising what cannot be delivered and they have used up all of their capital to buy the debt they have created to support the artifice. Then having mutilated the pension funds of their citizens and having pressured every money manager on the Continent they congratulate themselves on their lower yields. They see a road without end; we can see the end. They congratulate themselves; we yawn as the mumbo jumbo continues.

Visualizing The Collapse Of Fiat Currencies

 

11 Reasons Why The Federal Reserve Should Be AbolishedIf the American people truly understood how the Federal Reserve system works and what it has done to us, they would be screaming for it to be abolished immediately.  It is a system that was designed by international bankers for the benefit of international bankers, and it is systematically impoverishing the American people. The Federal Reserve system is the primary reason why our currency has declined in value by well over 95 percent and our national debt has gotten more than 5000 times larger over the past 100 years. The Fed creates our "booms" and our "busts", and they have done an absolutely miserable job of managing our economy. So why is the Federal Reserve doing it?  Sadly, this is the way it works all over the globe today.  In fact, all 187 nations that belong to the IMF have a central bank.  But the truth is that there are much better alternatives.

Richard Koo On The Ineffectiveness Of Monetary Expansion Nomura's Richard Koo destroys the backbone of the modern central bankers only tool in the tool-box in his latest paper. "As more and more people began to realize that increases in monetary base via QE during balance sheet recessions do not mean equivalent increases in money supply, the hype over QEs in the FX market is likely to calm down ...The only way quantitative easing can have a positive impact on economic activity is if the authorities purchase of assets from the private sector boosts asset prices, making people feel wealthier and thereby encouraging them to consume more. This is the wealth effect, often referred to by the Fed chairman Bernanke as the portfolio rebalancing effect, but even he has acknowledged that it has a very limitmed impact... In a sense, quantitative easing is meant to benefit the wealthy. After all, it can contribute to GDP only by making those with assets feel wealthier and encouraging them to consume more." { Yet, their marginal propensity to consume is far lower than the non-wealthy, and the amount far less in absolute terms.}

Child Hunger Is Exploding In Greece – And 14 Signs That It Is Starting To Happen In America Too The world is heading into a horrific economic nightmare, and an inordinate amount of the suffering is going to fall on innocent children.  If you want to get an idea of what America is going to look like in the not too distant future, just check out what is happening in Greece.  At this point, Greece is experiencing a full-blown economic depression. And as you will read about below, child hunger is absolutely exploding in Greece right now.  Some families are literally trying to survive on pasta and ketchup.  But don't think for a moment that it can't happen here.Sadly, the truth is that child hunger is already rising very rapidly in our poverty-stricken citiesNever before have we had so many Americans unable to take care of themselves. Unfortunately, more poor families slip through the cracks with each passing day, and these are supposedly times in which we are experiencing an "economic recovery".  So what are things going to look like when the next major economic downturn strikes?

Guest Post: We're Living Through A Rare Economic Transformation In 1993, management guru Peter Drucker published a short book entitled Post-Capitalist Society. Drucker identified that developed-world economies were entering a new knowledge-based era as opposed to the preceding industrial-based era - which represented just as big a leap from the agrarian-based one it had superseded. From this perspective, the nation-state is no longer indispensable to the knowledge economy, and as a result, Drucker foresaw the emergence of new social structures would arise and co-exist with the nation-state. Drucker summed up the difference between what many term a post-industrial economy and what he calls a knowledge economy this way: "That knowledge has become the resource rather than a resource is what makes our society 'post-capitalist.'  This fact changes – fundamentally – the structure of society.  The means of production is and will be knowledge." Though he doesn’t state it directly, this means that the highly centralized sectors of the economy, from finance to government, will be disrupted by a rapidly evolving, decentralized “society of organizations.”

Is Greenspan Sealing the Markets Fate?There once was a time when it was fair to say that Alan Greenspan was the biggest living contrary indicator of all time. Long before he became known to a wider audience, in early January of 1973, he famously pronounced (paraphrasing) that 'there is no reason to be anything but bullish now'. The stock market topped out two days later and subsequently suffered what was then its biggest collapse since the 1929-1932 bear market. That was a first hint that stock market traders should pay heed to the mutterings of the later Fed chairman when they concerned market forecasts: whatever he says, make sure you do the exact opposite. The reason why we feel he must be relegated to third place is that since then, arguably two even bigger living contrary indicators have entered the scene: Ben 'the sub-prime crisis is well contained' Bernanke, and Olli 'the euro crisis is over' Rehn. Admittedly it is not yet certain who will be judged the most reliable of them by history, but in any case, when Greenspan speaks, we should definitely still pay heed...

Private Prisons: The More Americans They Put Behind Bars The More Money They Make

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com

 

http://albertpeia.com/imprisonamerica.htm

 

‘How would you describe an industry that wants to put more Americans in prison and keep them there longer so that it can make more money? { How ‘bout putting them, ie., wall street frauds, mobsters, ie., trumps et als,  among many others in prison because they belong there! } In America today, approximately 130,000 people are locked up in private prisons that are being run by for-profit companies, and that number is growing very rapidly.  Overall, the U.S. has approximately 25 percent of the entire global prison population even though it only has 5 percent of the total global population.  The United States has the highest incarceration rate on the entire globe by far, and no nation in the history of the world has ever locked up more of its own citizens than we have.  Are we really such a cesspool of filth and decay that we need to lock up so many of our own people? { Short answer, YES! }  Or are there some other factors at work? { That too! } Could part of the problem be that we have allowed companies to lock up men and women in cages for profit?  The two largest private prison companies combined to bring in close to $3,000,000,000 in revenue in 2010, and the largest private prison companies have spent tens of millions of dollars on lobbying and campaign contributions over the past decade.  Putting Americans behind bars has become very big business, and those companies have been given a perverse incentive to push for even more Americans to be locked up.  It is a system that is absolutely teeming with corruption, and it is going to get a lot worse unless someone does something about it { There is no question but that america is pervasively corrupt, and the vast majority inherently criminal!

In fact, stepping back, I have seen first hand those siding with/benefiting from (and the encouraging of more crime), ie., RICO defendants et als, actually rewarded by the pervasively corrupt/defacto bankrupt american system (ie., trumps, alito, fed slugees, etc., essentially a combination of and tantamount to what is essentially hush money, bribes, etc.).

Reality Check: The Dow Jones Industrial Average Vs. Bananas The Dow Jones Industrial Average, one of the key benchmarks of the US stock market, has soundly surpassed its all-time high. And most of the investing world is toasting their collective success and celebrating the recovery. Its a funny thing, really. Most investors only think in terms of nominal numbers, i.e. Dow 14,000+ is 40% higher than Dow 10,000 (back in November 2009). But few think in terms of real numbers... inflation-adjusted averages. Everyone knows that inflation exists. We can all look back on prices from the past and realize instantly how much more expensive things have become. Conversely, though, most people dont think about the stock market like this. The reality is, though, that when you adjust for inflation, the Dow is well below its highs from over a decade ago. We thought wed put this into a bit of perspective...

 

 

Think This Can't Happen Where You Live? Think Again... ZH  Throughout history, bankrupt governments in decline almost ALWAYS fall back on a time-tested playbook. This includes imposing controls on everything - wage and price controls, trade controls, capital controls, border controls, people controls. Everything. And this idea goes back to the dawn of human civilization. From Mesopotamia to Rome and from France to Argentina, these policies have been a complete disaster for the country. But as the rest of the world looks on, people in rich countries foolishly believe that it cant happen here. So, again, if you think that gold criminalization, price controls, and IRA/pension confiscation could never happen where you live, think again. This is wishful, ignorant, dangerous thinking. It can happen. It is already happening.

Which in itself is hardly reason for optimism, but if there is one thing Hans Gruber has taught us, it is that when the Feds get involved, the first thing they do is cut the power, and in this algo-based market that will end some 99% of all daily manipulative practices we have all grown to love and look forward to every single day.

El-Erian On Stocks: "Prices Are Artificially High - It’s Time to Take Profits"

"It’s not going away, it’s going to get worse," is how PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian warns Yahoo's Lauren Lyster about central bank policy and the currency wars that are so much in discussion currently. Central banks have been compelled to undertake unconventional measures, things they haven’t done before, because other policymakers are not stepping up to take responsibility on the fiscal side. These implicit devaluations and beggar-thy-neighbor policies force a lot of liquidity into the system and by pushing up asset prices, central banks believe, create a 'weath effect'. It can also trigger “animal spirits” – we get all excited and invest more. In terms of equity markets, El-Erian says investors are split into two camps. One camp believes that everything will go higher and central banks will succeed in their efforts. The other camp believes asset prices are going to come down to meet the fundamentals. El-Erian puts himself in the second camp. “We think that prices are artificially high, that maintaining them here is going to be hard as central banks become less effective, and that it’s time to book some profits and to wait for some better entry points,” he explains. He clarifies that this is not a “Lehman moment." But “prices that have gotten way ahead of what policy can deliver,"



Goldman 'Explains' The 'Market': "Best Not To Look A Gift-Horse In The Mouth"

Good news, bad news, no news, dips, no dips, who cares. As Goldman sales/trading desk says, never look a gift-Bernanke in the mouth (especially if he ends up in a frozen lasagna at a store near you).

From GS:

A solid rally today and new cycle highs for US equities but thats where the story stops. No obvious catalyst. No bullish data. European stocks traded well, with most people pointing to a better German ZEW print, but its not clear why that would translate into such a strong US trading session. Maybe its best though not to look a gift-horse in the mouth.

One can't help but laugh at this "market."  { Riiiiight! Sounds like a plan! The ‘gift-horse’ that’s … not a gift-horse at all … You’re paying through your nose and teeth. It was amusing to see mainstream media puzzling over the record high gas prices so early in this time of year, and as well, the coming jump in beef prices. There’s no mystery here! This is the natural and inevitable concomitant to ‘printing presses gone wild’. Not printing presses for product for intellectual consumption; but rather, printing presses (whether by print or computer leger entry) for those ever more worthless paper fiat dollars backed by nothing but insurmountable debt of a defacto bankrupt nation. Remember: There’s no free lunch … fraudulent wall street’s predictable/intended gain (from QE, currency debasement, etc.) is your substantial pain! It’s the zimbabwee financial model gone american …

 Kyle Bass Tells 'Nominal' Stock Market Cheerleaders: Remember Zimbabwe Amid the euphoria of today's crossing of the Dow's Maginot Line at 14,000, Kyle Bass provided a few minutes of sanity this morning in an interview with CNBC's Gary Kaminsky. Bass starts by reflecting on the ongoing (and escalating) money-printing (or balance sheet expansion as we noted here) as the driver of stock movements currently and would not be surprised to see them move higher still (given the ongoing printing expected). However, he caveats that nominally bullish statement with a critical point, "Zimbabwe's stock market was the best performer this decade - but your entire portfolio now buys you 3 eggs" as purchasing power is crushed. Investors, he says, are "too focused on nominal prices" as the rate of growth of the monetary base is destroying true wealth. Bass is convinced that cost-push inflation is coming (as the velocity of money will move once psychology shifts) and investors must not take their eye off the insidious nature of underlying inflation - no matter what we are told by the government (as they will always lie when its critical)…”

Post-Hyperinflationary Zimbabwe Welcomes The Holidays With 80% Unemployment, Empty ATMs And Paralyzed Transport  { Just another typical nigger! Speaking of niggers, if wobama is given the opportunity as he has thus far, he’ll tread the same path as fellow nigger mugabe. } … Zimbabweans are facing bleak holidays this year amid rising poverty, food and cash shortages and political uncertainty, with some describing it as the worst since the formation of the coalition government in the southern African nation.... Banks have closed, ATMs have run out of cash and transport services have been paralyzed." It gets worse: "Zimbabwe's unemployment is pegged at around 80 percent with many people in Harare, the capital, eking out a living by selling vegetables and fruits on street corners." And all of this is after the massive economic imbalances in Zimbabwe's economy should have been "fixed" (or so conventional economic theory would have one believe) courtesy of hyperinflation, which left any savers in tatters, destroyed the value of the old currency, benefited solely debtors  but also allowed a fresh start to a government, which could only remain in power due to a violent power grab by the democratically elected-turned-dictator Robert Mugabe.

 

 

Global ‘credit supernova’ turns 2013 bull to bear Marketwatch

Paul B. Farrell Archives | Email alerts Feb. 9, 2013, 6:02 a.m. EST Global credit supernova turns 2013 bull into bear

Commentary: Bill Gross warns about Fed’s cheap-money schemes

By Paul B. Farrell, MarketWatch

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) Bill Gross predicting a Credit Supernova. Yes, thats what the Bond King sees dead ahead. He knows, his firm has $2 trillion at risk of collapsing into the Black Hole coming after the Credit Supernova, when the Federal Reserve cheap money finally explodes in Americas face, brings down the economy, again.

Gross’s Credit Supernova metaphor is the explosive headline on his latest Pimco newsletter. So what’s a supernova? Jump over to the Space.com’s parallel universe where you’ll discover a supernova happens when a “blindingly bright star bursts into view in a corner of the night sky ... burns like a ... brilliant point of light.”

A supernova is “the explosion of a star that has reached the end of its life ... Supernovas can briefly outshine entire galaxies and radiate more energy than our sun will in its entire lifetime.”

Yes, a supernova is the “explosion of a star that has reached the end of its life.”

“End of its life?” Is America’s star economy burning out? Sure sounds like it: Gross is doing more than just hinting with his Credit Supernova metaphor. He’s predicting the collapse of the American economy and global financial markets, far worse than the 2008 Wall Street bank credit collapse, worse than the 2000 dot-com crash.

As the folks over at Business Insider put it: “Investment banks have morphed markets with ‘Ponzi Finance.’ And time is almost up.”

21 Signs That U.S. Public Schools Have Become Training Centers For Sexual Deviancy

[  25 Signs American Women Are Being Destroyed By The Sexual Revolution And Our Promiscuous Culture

http://albertpeia.com/uspromiscuity.htm  { I’m constrained to say that grammar, junior high, and high school in the suburban town in which I grew up were not at all like that; and, far more conservative and restrained. I’ve included the following previous reference/link as a matter of disclosure and so as not to appear as a hypocrite in the context of this referenced subject:  Drudgereport: STUDY: Girls As Young As 6 See Themselves As Sex Objects... { Wow! This is really quite alarming and bespeaks america’s new-found perverse, third-world uncivilized status, which is ‘picked up’ by kids who in some ways are smarter than given credit for with a vulnerable longing to please, be accepted in light of their powerless position in our ever more deteriorating society. For the record, personally, I’ve never had a virgin though I’ve been in a position to; that’s something I just don’t do. Never have, never wanted to, never would, never will! Moreover, with the prevalence of sick pedophiles and kiddie-porn, it’s not so surprising that kids might pick up on such abominable vibes. It is difficult to imagine that little girls could be the objects of such horror as, ie., Samantha Runnion ( who was kidnapped, sexually abused and strangled by a man who lured her from her front yard by telling her he had lost his dog. Her naked body was found the next day by a hiker in Cleveland National Forest, 50 miles southeast of Stanton.[1] The autopsy revealed that she died from compression. A sample of the kidnapper's DNA was found under her fingernail. The suspect, a Lake Elsinore, California, man named Alejandro Avila, was convicted of first degree murder with special circumstances in May 2005. His DNA was found on Samantha's body, and her DNA was found in his car. He was arrested three days after the abduction. Avila had previously been to the condominium complex where Samantha lived, because his ex-girlfriend resided there and he had been previously acquitted of molesting her daughter and niece. On May 16, 2005, the jury recommended he receive the death penalty. On July 22, 2005, Avila was formally sentenced to death. He is incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison on death row ). As an aside, I’ve included the following for the record as well: Though I’ve had many consensual sexual liasons with many different female sexual partners (mid-hundreds) all of whom I liked, I’ve never, ever resorted to prostitutes. The accidental exceptions included two ‘call girls’; one having met at summer beach town bar matinee and who was ‘not working’ (as it turned out the reason being she was at the end of her menstrual cycle). The other at a grocery store with her daughter which made such in my mind, unlikely. As it turned out, both were ‘nymphomaniacs’ (which, truth be told, made for quite an exceptional sexual romp) and I simplistically inferred/surmised without dwelling on the subject that they probably expected they’d have inordinate amounts of sex anyway and might as well get paid for it – of course I didn’t nor was I asked to pay. The other incident I’m including here for the record concerned an absolutely beautiful (blonde hair, blue eyes, pretty, cute, perfectly built/proportioned – make no mistake, however, I like brunettes also) girl I met at a bar called ‘the Red Ranch’, later changed to ‘Harpoon Willy’s’. At closing, we immediately became amorous, near intimate to a point in my car with abrupt ‘resistance’ at the ‘crucial moments’. When I finally, ‘exasperated’, asked ‘what’s up’, she stated she had recently broken up with her boyfriend who had gone too far in the ‘sado-masochistic’ ritual behavior they were, and she still was into. I told her I wasn’t into it  (I don’t connect sex with sado-masochism); never would, never did, never will. We talked for quite some time and she explained her ‘predisposition’ the (her perceived) consequence of her strict, puritanical upbringing and feelings of guilt concomitant with sexual activity requiring coincident punishment/pain when so engaged. I was busy with law school evenings, work full-time, and teaching at a local college part-time and parted ways without taking her number and never did see her again. }   ]

 

 

Israeli Attack: Desperate Bid to Save Failed Syrian Campaign  Tony Cartalucci | Israel has conducted airstrikes in Syria based on “suspicions” of chemical weapon transfers. { Yes, indeed! This was a somewhat typical (and costly for the u.s. and the rest of the world) act of desperation by the war crimes nation israel to keep the flames of war stoked in whatever ways possible. The israelis thrive on chaos at other people’s expense/cost and shed blood; and yet, they remain u.n. resolution/international law violators, with 200+ illegal nukes to boot, with barely a peep from the world community as they assume immoral authority to accuse other nations of their own lawless ways. This world can no longer afford war crimes nation israel. } Netanyahu Deploys 'Syrian' Iron-Dome As Israeli Minister Claims US Preparing 'Surgical' Strikes Against Iran  {  Israel warns of possible pre-emptive strike in Syria...  Key facility hit?  Kissinger: Iran nuclear crisis close...  [  Kissinger Predicts Nuclear War with Iran  { This would be a zionist wet dream come true! And, a disaster for literally everyone else, particularly for pervasively corrupt, defact bankrupt america whose prior orwellian pro-israeli moves have not turned out well for anyone including america except for israel, the war profiteers and the military industrial complex as warned against by the underrated but great president General Eisenhower!  } Kurt Nimmo | Characterizes looming conflict as “a turning point in human history.”  { Riiiiight! That along with other pro-israeli, u.s.-bankrupting contraindicated positions. The israeli lobby doesn’t even have to pay kissinger for such folly! How ‘bout the turning point being the misguided balfour declaration and the subsequent existing 200+ illegal israeli nukes! }  Video: Globalist Kingpin Predicts Nuclear War with Iran Prison Planet.com | Globalist kingpin, renowned war criminal and Rockefeller co-conspirator Henry Kissinger is talking up a nuclear conflagration. { Riiiiight! That along with other pro-israeli, u.s.-bankrupting contraindicated positions. The israeli lobby doesn’t even have to pay kissinger for such folly! How ‘bout the turning point being the misguided balfour declaration and the subsequent existing 200+ illegal israeli nukes! } ] Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu says his nation must prepare for the threat of a chemical attack from Syria, amid concern at enemy efforts to test a post-election coalition Israel, and has deployed its new Iron Dome anti-missile system near the border with its northern neighbor. Along with this concern, as many have perhaps suspected, the Israeli Defense Minister confirmed yesterday that the US has prepared plans for a 'surgical' military operation to delay Iran's nuclear program. As The Jerusalem Post reports, Ehud Barak, added that in the past the US has been heavy-handed but that under Barack Obama, the United States has "prepared quite sophisticated, fine, extremely fine, scalpels," if the worse comes to the worst - even though the Israeli preference would be to end the nuclear threat diplomatically, calling for tougher sanctions (though he expressed doubt that diplomacy would lead to success). Just another geopolitical hotspot that the world's markets choose to ignore in deference to the one true leader - central bankers.

They think it’s their job, and lounging on the Oval Office couches, they nod along with the president’s every musing. But this presidency has taken OOCS to new heights. Mr. Obama has only a few trusted aides, and occasional leaks from the West Wing show a paranoid president suspicious of nearly everyone around him. Supremely confident, convinced by the fawning minions at his feet that he is untouchable, the president dismisses all controversy as partisan attacks by an overzealous opposition. A pliant press corps of stenographers follows in lockstep…Speaking for the White House, the flack said the CIA was fully to blame for the talking points. Fully. “That is what was generated by the intelligence community, by the CIA,” he said. For the record, this is what the CIA “generated”…’

REPORT: Media ignores Beach Week violence, racial tensions... { Typical niggers! ‘…Reporters with all the local media had trouble describing what happened over the weekend when 40,000 black people descended on Virginia Beach for a party. Their audiences, however, did not. Daniel Johnson was one of dozens of people who had no trouble talking about the lawbreakers and the widespread chaos, danger, thefts, violence and lawlessness they brought to Virginia Beach as part of College Beach Week 2013; a time when black students could “blow off some steam” before final exams. “Because it was a group of young black college people everyone is scared to say anything for fear of being called a racist,” he said in a post to a Virginian-Pilot news story. “It is what it is – these people come to the Beach and do everything in there [sic] power to intimidate the local and visiting White people at the Beach – rude – disrespectful – dirty and violent – They come here and treat our beach like a toilet On Saturday afternoon I went to the Harris Teeter and a LARGE group of young black visitors were in the parking lot drinking and playing loud music – intimidating locals – I called the police and even though 2 cop cars drove by nothing was done!” Police reported 900 emergency calls to 9-1-1 Saturday night involving at least three shootings, three stabbings and three robberies. That they know of. All during a four-hour period. People in Virginia Beach are furious and are taking to Facebook and the local news sites to have their say…’

CHICAGOLAND: City police have arrested woman 396 times!  { ‘…
Rolon recognized Shermain Miles because he’s seen her more times than he can count — drunk, half-naked, cursing and, on one occasion, lunging at another woman with a dinner fork. Since 1978, Chicago Police alone have arrested Miles 396 times, mostly on the North Side — under at least 83 different aliases. Those arrests include 92 for theft, 65 for disorderly conduct, 59 for prostitution-related crimes and five for robbery or attempted robbery. The frustrating truth: The system — strapped by overcrowded prisons and cuts to mental health funding — hasn’t been able to save Miles from herself or to help the communities she menaces. Nothing has worked. Not jail. Not prison. Not countless psychological exams for the woman described as being “acutely psychotic.”’  }

WHite House Threatens Another Journalist  WMAL.com February 28, 2013 Bob Woodward isn’t the only person who’s received threats for airing the Obama administration’s dirty laundry. It seems anyone is a potential target of the White House these days – even former senior members of the Clinton administration. A day after Woodward’s claim that a senior White House official had told him he would “regret” writing a column criticizing President Obama’s stance on the sequester, Lanny Davis, a longtime close advisor to President Bill Clinton, told WMAL’s Mornings on the Mall Thursday he had received similar threats for newspaper columns he had written about Obama in the Washington Times.Davis told WMAL that his editor, John Solomon, “received a phone call from a senior Obama White House official who didn’t like some of my columns, even though I’m a supporter of Obama. I couldn’t imagine why this call was made.” Davis says the Obama aide told Solomon, “that if he continued to run my columns, he would lose, or his reporters would lose their White House credentials.” }

WHITE HOUSE THREATENS WOODWARD:
'YOU WILL REGRET DOING THIS'
  {The nigger approach … to elections, governing, etc., etc. }

Watergate reporter blasts Obama 'madness'... By Susan Heavey WASHINGTON | Feb 27, 2013 (Reuters) – ‘Journalist Bob Woodward on Wednesday criticized

Barack Obama's handling of the automatic U.S. budget cuts set to take effect this week, calling the president's decision to hold back on military deployments "madness."His comments continued what has become a running dispute between Woodward, perhaps the country's best-known print journalist, and the Democratic White House over who is responsible for the across-the-board cuts scheduled to begin on Friday. Last week, Woodward published an opinion piece in the Washington Post - where he is an associate editor - saying the administration was "wrong" to blame the cuts on Republicans…’
WHITE HOUSE WARNS WOODWARD: 'YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET DOING THIS'  { That’s a threat! }
'It makes me very uncomfortable'... { WOODWARD: It was said very clearly, you will regret doing this. }
POLITICO: Exclusive Details...  ‘Bob Woodward called a senior White House official last week to tell him that in a piece in that weekend’s Washington Post, he was going to question President Barack Obama’s account of how sequestration came about - and got a major-league brushback. The Obama aide “yelled at me for about a half hour,” Woodward told us in an hour-long interview yesterday around the Georgetown dining room table where so many generations of Washington’s powerful have spilled their secrets… Woodward repeated the last sentence, making clear he saw it as a veiled threat…’

Lee Bailey was notably in that category by prior self-proclamation, among others ); this world being such as it is, human beings such as they are. Yet, said position is still unequivocally, absolutely incorrect; but, understandable. The position of the atheist is at the least intellectually dishonest (at worst, constituting a petulant penchant for the ‘great lie’ and in some instances, an inherent capacity for great evil). But, as well, incorrect, and certainly not understandable; and all the more wrong by positing something they don’t and hence, obviously, could not know as being so. Atheists are, quite simply…pathetic! }

When you die, you can pass it on to your family members, so that when you're 85 years old and you got six diseases, you're not trying to spend up everything. You're happy to pass it on and there's nobody talking about death panels. Number one. And also, for the people who were indigent who don't have any money we can make contributions to their HSA each month because we already have this huge pot of money. Instead of sending it to some bureaucracy, let's put it in their HSAs. Now they have some control over their own health care.’) { Sounds smart, good, and rational to me! }

Detroit suburb mulling $5 rat bounty program... { Actually, what the anti-cat ‘lobby’ conveniently didn’t mention in their recent anti-cat rant is that disease-carrying mice/rats are the largest component of the mammals cats kill; and, of the prehistoric dinosaur remnant birds, disease-carrying pigeons figure prominently among cats’ kills. (You also don’t see cats mauling/killing babies/children/humans as with dogs that should be more widely known as well for eating their own feces-I saw this first hand of a pedigreed german shepard before learning that eating their own feces  was a dog trait). I happen to like birds, ie., Hawks (regal ferocity), Humming Birds (aerodynamics), and Owls (hunters/I just like them) in that precise order; but, I do like cats much more. When I’d jog home from the gym in the evenings I began carrying a small (18 inch tube) metal club and developed a proficiency for ‘running down’ and killing rats [ There were so many, particularly near the trash cans. I got up to 123 (confirmed) kills (I didn’t count those mortally wounded but slinking into the safety of, ie., the sewer) before stopping because of cries of ‘outrage’ from the niggers here in LA when they occasionally witnessed same (Wow! Can you believe it? Always somethin’ to complain about for the niggers, no matter how irrational!); and that became not worth the ‘controversy’. For the further record, if pellet guns were allowed, I’d ’wipe out’ disease-carrying pigeons; and, without compunction or hesitation, I’d ‘wipe out’ all venomous, fanged creatures, ie., poisonous snakes, all spiders, scorpions, etc., without exception; and of course, I’d ‘wipe out’ such vermin as cockroaches, bed bugs, mosquitos, etc.. I would not kill bees (pollination, etc.) however, except for those that tried to sting me. ] }

6 ARRESTED IN NEW GANG RAPE OF A BUS PASSENGER IN INDIA...
Woman hung from tree after rape...

India reports 25 rapes in week following Delhi gangrape IBNLive  { See, as per the californication amerikan jurisprudential scholar/jurist/judge, these 25 girls may not have realized it, but, they really wanted it … you know, otherwise, as per the californication jurisprudential scholar/jurist/judge these subconsciously consensual encounters could not have happened because the body would ‘just say no’ to such liasons if nonconsensual. There you go! … american jurisprudence has done it again as they guide us through those dark, shadowy, murky areas of the law that would otherwise label violent criminal rapists as violent criminal rapists.  (We’re talking India here; but, violent rape among a plethora of other substantial crimes including murder, huge protected ie., wall street, etc., frauds, armed robberies, etc., are rampant in pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america.)  India gang-rape suspects to face murder charges (CBS/AP) NEW DELHI - Indian police charged six men with murder on Saturday, hours after a woman who was gang-raped and beaten on a bus in New Delhi nearly two weeks ago died in a Singapore hospital. { Clearly, says the california-american jurist/jurisprudential scholar, this girl was not a victim but really ‘wanted it’ and while she may have been screaming/saying ‘no’, she really meant ‘yes’ since otherwise her body wouldn’t have permitted that rape (and beating) to happen. See … now that’s why we have professionally educated/trained judges … to ‘split the pubic hairs’, so to speak … (that judge should be forced to step down)} Calif. judge says a victims' bodies can prevent rape CBS News SANTA ANA, Calif. A Southern California judge is being publicly admonished for saying a rape victim "didn't put up a fight" during her assault and that if someone doesn't want sexual intercourse, the body "will not permit that to happen.” { Wow! Spoken like a true california american jurist. Well, with violent rapes on the rise along with other serious violent among other crimes in america and california particularly, and elections being what they are, ‘might as well go with the flow’ might have been the ratio-decedendi. After all, most violent criminals in america are closet pacifists/peace corp members and if the body says yes or no but the mind subconsciously says yes, only then will a rape happen (NOT!); and, no violent rapist would let a LIVE/CONSCIOUS rape-resistor get in the way of implicit consensual rape. Wow! I initially was going to quip, ‘he doesn’t get out much’; but, maybe he just ‘gets out too much’. Wow! What more can anyone say! [ If the foregoing didn’t make sense to you, that’s because the californication judge’s outrageous statement is absolutely preposterous! ] }

NRA LaPierre: Hollywood, media, music, violent videos cause culture of violence... { There is indeed a culture of violence in america; that, along with a celibratory attitude toward crime and criminals generally (and of course, cowardice in the face of criminality, which didn’t apply to the Newton, CT  tragic scenario), along with the reality that crime in america pays, and pays well, and is largely protected at the highest levels. That said, I still oppose any and all censorship (a ‘slippery slope’ in a country now as this, best not tread on) to the extent that’s inferred from LaPierre’s cogent speech; though I believe it a stretch for anyone to have reasonably gleaned that from his words so eloquently put. I read the text of his entire speech as he made it. I believe he was correct in every significant respect; importantly, and simply put, ‘bad guys (criminals) with guns can only be stopped by good guys with guns’. Moreover, I would add that criminals will always have (and have access to getting) guns. To strip the good, the innocents of their like defense against same is insanity. I hearken back to and reiterate the (famed NRA truism and) reality that it’s ‘people that kill people’ and the numerous examples he gave of armed defense the only real, true protection for those in need, as ie., children, etc., of protection from the nefarious elements of our increasingly less than civilized society. }  NRA’s Wrongheaded Response to Sandy Hook Violence Infowars.com | NRA Executive Vice President calls for more cops in schools and a government database of the mentally ill.  { The following ‘rebuttal’ from Infowars is not entirely unreasonable but I believe relies too much on the presumption of sanity among the american masses: ‘…LaPierre also announced a NRA model security program of armed volunteers to guard schools. He said Rep. Asa Hutchison, R-Ark., will lead the program for the lobbying organization. While the idea of armed citizen volunteers protecting schools is reasonable, the call for adding more police is not. The presence of police in public schools has created a number of problems – from tasering and handcuffing students to shooting them to death in addition to fostering a prison-like environment [if the ‘shoe fits’]. As for creating a government database of people suffering from mental illness and then presumably denying them Second Amendment rights, this is a dangerous idea begging for government abuse [as was so in the former communist soviet union of old]. If the state is allowed to determine what mental illness is and who suffers from it, large numbers of people will undoubtedly have their right to own firearms denied (like veterans suffering from PTSD are denied their rights). It looks like the NRA is merely passing the buck on this issue and once again relying on government to devise solutions [this is an unfair criticism by infowars inasmuch as the NRA are not elected officials although, truth be told, as evidenced in the past election, u.s. elections are a total joke and are indeed ‘rigged’ then there were as well the unprecedented terrorist threats of violence/rioting by the typically uncivilized niggers ( note that wobama, a nigger himself, registered no objection to those threats and intimidation – the uncivilized niggers having their way now with purported ‘civilized institutions’ don’t forget the crime stats wherein niggers are the undisputed leaders by far ) as well as voter fraud, and incumbents did not want to rock their boat, aka ‘the uss titanic’ ]. The solution to public school violence is really quite simple – citizens must be fully empowered to exercise the right to self-protection and the protection of their families (defense is a natural right that has nothing to do with the real reason the Second Amendment was established). This right to self-protection cannot be denied by “gun free zones” that are in essence self-defense free zones…’ }

SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENTS

'Obviously not well'...  { 20 children, 7 others dead in school shooting  Marketwatch  { From the previous day, pre-shooting I posted :  Don’t Let Your Child See a Psychiatrist.  Jon Rappoport  { In light of his expressed fear, psychologists can’t prescribe medication – though that’s changed somewhat in some states. Rappoport must realize that some parents, nuttier than fruitcakes particularly in america, might be the problem. Who then does the troubled child turn to?} That said, Every human emotion now classified as a mental disorder in new psychiatric manual DSM-5  Mike Adams { Well, I gotta tell ya … if the shoe fits, wear it … the reality is that the prevalence of mental disorders/mental illness in america is so great that reactions as those of mike adams (including shooting the messenger) are not unexpected; but, must be discounted. After all, insanity or close to it has indeed become the new normal, shaded/obscured somewhat by what’s deemed simple inherent criminality which masks the underlying ‘americinsanity’. }

JIMMY HOFFA WARNS OF 'CIVIL WAR'...  { There is an exception to the hearsay rule known as a dying declaration; the rationale being that a person would not ‘go to his maker’ with a false statement/declaration to ‘taint his soul’. Interestingly, I had occasion to know a very intelligent, learned man who was indeed dying, in a death spiral if you will. A lawyer by profession, he had taken an interest in another lawyer’s history; none other than Abraham Lincoln himself. Curiously I thought at the time, though even then, some decades ago (long before the internet), I realized that you were never getting the whole, correct, true story from american media, history as written, etc.. ( I was fortunate in sixth grade to have had a great teacher, James Bresnahan, who allowed for ‘expansive’/accelerated learning in what he took the time and trouble to provide as an advanced reading group. Among the subjects was that knowledge/thinking tainting phenomena known more commonly as propaganda). After all, a long dead president; and, one who famously suffered from recurring bouts of severe depression could hardly be the object of, from my view, intense intellectual interest and scrutiny. Yet, he was fixated on what he deemed a somewhat surprising revelation; viz., from his intense study, Abe was not ‘Honest Abe’ but rather, was a thief. I was aware that in fact, Lincoln found niggers somewhat appalling and initially opposed ending slavery as well as those who favored same, viz., the abolitionists, etc. (niggers are a same old old story of lazy, unproductive, inherently very uncivilized criminal people who are fun-luvin’ for games, partying, and getting high only.  Even the incisive Shakespeare euphemistically referred to the ‘typicality’ of the inherently untrustworthy and without sense of honor, ‘noir’ [french for black]). The ultimate consummate politician (as a lawyer, Lincoln famously took a contrary position not long before saying he thought he then was right but now taking the opposite position now knew he was right … riiiiight! ‘Honest Abe’), Lincoln ultimately did, in rallying his ‘stalwarts’, back the abolitionist cause. I personally feel the people of the south were foolish in bringing vanquished niggers, sold into slavery by other niggers who vanquished them, to this already now recently blemished land. Moreover, as today, the niggers (and the abolitionist cause) had provided fodder for politics of  all sorts, including that of Lincoln. Indeed, even today, spielberg who is famous for his pro-jewish ‘politicking’/propaganda (even the first Indiana Jones movie was heavy on the Arab/Nazi transference propaganda) has found a way to make film-making pay for him and the democratic party by way of the misguided, inaccurate view of Lincoln as the anti-slavery icon he is speciously depicted as. Civil war? Hoffa, like his mob-connected, then disconnected (permanently) father is old news. The truth is that their own done them in (as was so of hoffa’s father) with NAFTA, etc., as they themselves foolishly laughed at their real would-be saviors, ie., Ross Perot, etc.. The reality is, there is literally nothing that can’t be produced better and cheaper and without paying the shake-down bribe from the teamsters et als for doing absolutely nothing (as is true with the other niggers, et als, entitlements, etc.), elsewhere. Twinkies anyone? }

Well, close enough, but no cigar. After all, chimpanzees share a 98% identical DNA profile with modern humans; and, niggers share 99% (hence, that familiar simian look of the nigger. Interestingly, I must confess that I’ve more recently particularly, developed a well-founded aversion for and antipathy towards chimps, gorillas, oranguatangs and monkeys owing to the fact that they remind me of niggers!

REPUBLICANS HAVE WON EVERY NOV 6TH PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION SINCE 1860...

Dianne Feinstein: No need to debate Republican opponent... { Riiiight! Things are going so swimmingly (as in drowning) for the nation and california particularly. Actually, I responded to a ‘generic’ email / facebook request from her with my subsequent request that she help to elicit a formal response from the FBI as promised regarding the RICO matters (the other incompetent, failed perrenial senator barbara boxer actually had ‘made her presence known’ in the corrupted process regarding usdcj matz/lester and the default of the u.s. which missed the filing date which error was compounded by the misstatement of the rule in court on the record by asst. us attorney robert i. lester); but, no response... http://albertpeia.com/selfdefense.htm   [ One thing is certain from my own direct experience { The unfortunate reality is what I’ve alluded to in the context of my own direct experience; viz., america’s ‘legal system’ is an illegal system used to cover-up crimes, arbitrarily enforce laws to apply pressure, etc., and essentially run by the inmates of this collective criminal entity called america: http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       
http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm      http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm   }   ; despite enormous amounts of taxpayer money poured into the ‘federal system’, there’s relatively/proportionately very little real significant results (an example would be the brutalizing of Martha Stewart over a $45 thousand transaction while wall street frauds in the trillions by the biggest players have gone unprosecuted). I believe reasonable diligence requires self-reliance more than ever before in this nation’s history; particularly when political correctness in some states prevents calling a spade a spade to the substantial detriment of law enforcement! ]

11-5-11 Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. 43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

America also leads in the illegal drug trade.  In fact, many researchers reveal that the war on drugs is only utilized to control and monopolize the illicit drug trade.  The US government has been caught multiple times shipping in cocaine [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvbdiWgwsA , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQNSoOX-dcw&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG1Id2qpSOE&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEUhpxeuP4&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyM43Sw2OVc&feature=related ] , colluding with certain cartels [ http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/08/does_mexican_drug_cartel_have_deal_with_us_government.html ] to control the industry, and now openly protects and transports opium from Afghanistan [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElEciFI0Pew ] .  In fact, Global Research points out that in 2001, “according to UN figures, opium production had fallen to 185 tons. Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [ http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world ] ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

Drug war hypocrisy: drug trafficking’s big money benefits Big Brother and corrupt banksters PF Louis | The hypocrisy of the war on drugs is centers on the amount of drug trafficking that benefits the CIA and international banking system.

,  Guest Post: The West Has Just Become A Giant Banana Republic  Legal precedent means nothing. Rule of law means nothing. Free speech means nothing. Their own treaties mean nothing. Its unbelievable. Anyone in the west who honestly thinks hes still living in a free society is either a fool or completely out of touch. If that seems too radical an idea, consider that ECUADOR is now the only nation which stands to defend freedom and human rights against an assault from the United States, the United Kingdom, and their spineless allies. The west has just become a giant banana republic. Have you hit your breaking point yet? If not now when?  { { Im really constrained to interject my own direct experience with the FBI here; and, I must say I do so lamentably. If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the tough questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal drug ops (opsriiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You cant make this stuff up. I also dont believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. Im beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the federal (judicial) system who share the same employer; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared more fairly with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:  Debauchery: An American specialty In the land of Lindsay Lohan and Snooki, some federal workers reflect our culture all too well. (Washington Post) [ Lindsay Lohan? Come on Mr. Milbank, hands off the low hanging fruit. Shes totally harmless. Jersey italian snooki? In mob infested new jersey, who knows (one of the properties in my proceedings for which surplus funds are unaccounted for was a top floor balconied 2 bedroom 1 and 1/2 bath condominium (beach/boardwalk front w/indoor pool/sauna) in seaside heights, n.j. 10-31-12 Post Sandy: Im wondering if its still there. ). But debauchery an american specialty? Another rare instance wherein I agree with Mr. Milbank completely. 25 Signs That America Is A Seething Cesspool Of Filth And Corruption http://albertpeia.com/25signsamericacesspooloffilthcrimeandcorruption.htm . Review of flawed forensics held close to vest EXCLUSIVE | Documents and interviews show FBI and Justice Department officials took steps to control information uncovered by a task force designed to examine cases involving discredited agents. Many defendants were never notified of flaws in cases. Simply unconscionable (Washington Post) [ Well, I really have to say this. Im awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ) . Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed the level and extent of corruption and criminality within the ranks of the u.s. government before embarking upon this costly quest for justice and simple fairness consistent with clear law (infra, regarding the u.s. governments direct involvement in the illegal drug trade). In this civil RICO matter, there are no innocent bystanders; but rather, perpetrators, accomplices, and co-conspirators. When the fbi agent initially assigned to this matter (Connecticut) abruptly resigned/retired shortly after a conversation, though not central to my case, wherein I had said that rudy giulianis father had been an (convicted) enforcer for the mob (served 12 years? in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter?) and then sent him documentation owing to his disbelief. Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard. I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agents departure who somewhat plaintively (my call being a burden) told me that he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari, which he didnt explain further. Could anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jerseys FBI office, I was greeted by an FBI Agent who sarcastically asked me whether I was going to the disco that night (the documents including sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alitos office in the same building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   . We all can infer sam alitos reward / quid pro quo for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme court.  There was never a question as to maryanne trump barrys interest in corrupting the judicial process as related to her brothers (trump) casinos. Jersey city boy louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klayman as the most corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly holders impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvds sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference. Im currently being stonewalled by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI Agent Bill Lewis.

The 4 years of O have been complete, utter failure and no amount of wobama b***s*** and nigger intimidation can change that fact! Quite simply, niggers are inherently criminal terrorists: Examples of what people are saying include the following;

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com   http://albertpeia.com/massiveriotsinamerica.htm { Ah, yes, says the optimist who sees the opportunity in every calamity and not vice versa. Indeed, President Romney’s election based upon american people’s survival instincts and an awakening from the wobama b***s*** slumber of decline will provide the opportunity to incarcerate the niggers who will use such as an excuse to do what they’re inclined/predisposed to do anyway, and in one lawless form or another, are already doing. Prison or sub-saharan Africa are the only places suitable for niggers.

Boy writes letter to editor after shelter kills cat...
'Grown-ups killed my kitty'... To the editor: My name is Rayden. I am 8 years old and I live in Logan. Yesterday grown-ups killed my kitty, my best friend, when they werent supposed to. Because I really dont know how to write, my PaPa is writing down the things I think and say. My kittys name is Toothless. When I got him I had just seen How to Train a Dragon at the movies. My kitty looked just like the dragon Toothless with big green eyes and the hair around his head. Toothless, my cat, has long fluffy hair and sleeps on my bed and loved to play with my brother and me. Toothless would let us carry him around all the time. He was our best friend. Last week he didnt come in at night. Sometimes he does that, but this time he didnt come back. After two days my little brother Devin, who is 5, and I went to every house on our street and asked everyone if they had seen Toothless our cat. Everyone said no. We were worried and scared something was wrong. On Wednesday after work my dad went to the animal shelter as it was closing. They didnt want to let him in, but they did. He asked if there was a cat with long black fluffy hair there. They let my dad in to look at the cages, and there was Toothless! He was curled up laying in the back of the cage very scared. When my dad made his funny meow sound that he does to make him come home, Toothless jumped up and came to the screen and rubbed up against it and was so happy to see my dad, and he wasnt scared anymore. My dad wanted to take him home, but they said he had to go to another office building and pay a fee. The lady at the shelter said it would be OK and told him to come back the next day and we could get Toothless. When my dad came home and told my little brother and me he found Toothless we were so happy and we werent scarred or worried anymore. My dad went back the next day to get our kitty and they told him they didnt have any long-haired black cats. They only had a white fluffy cat. My dad waited a long time for the lady to come back and talk to him. The same lady that told my dad to come back the next day said she was sorry. She had forgotten to leave a note to tell the people my dad would be there for Toothless and they had just killed my cat that morning. She had just forgotten to write a note to save a member of my family. They killed him and I dont know why. My dad found out where he had been picked up and it was our neighbors down the street that dont like cats and dogs. They had caught him in a trap and gave him to the police to take him away. When Devin and I knocked on their door and asked if they had seen Toothless they told us no, and that was a lie. My dad and mom tell me and Devin not to lie and that is right. I didnt think big people lied because they are grown ups and know what is right. Now I dont know what to do. My cat Toothless is dead; the people that killed him didnt even give him to my dad so we could bury him. What do I do now? Rayden Sazama Logan  Editors note: Cache Humane Society Director Brenda Smith confirmed Raydens story that an animal shelter worker forgot to leave a note to halt euthanization of the Sazamas cat.  { The shelter/city should be sued and the employees involved should be fired for cause! }

Indeed, among the rarest breed historically of exceptional american CEO’s, Welch points to the folly of preposterously a month before elections, on paltry/pathetic jobs numbers ( election year temp/part-time for manipulating stats along with the nebulous ‘stopped looking’ fudge factor) , following a disasterous debate showing (of wobama failure and incompetence), the unemployment rate falls to just below the ‘superstitious’ 8.0. If you’re a fool, you’ll buy into what is tantamount to the obama 100% employment fantasy where literally everyone but him has stopped looking for work and hence, not counted in compiling the unemployment rate (and then those jobs in the millions lost and gone forever on his watch - what a banana republic!). Come on, wake up!: JACK WELCH: OBAMA IS MANIPULATING THE JOBS NUMBERS BECAUSE HIS DEBATE PERFORMANCE WAS AWFUL…UNBELIEVABLE JOBS NUMBERS…THESE CHICAGO GUYS WILL DO ANYTHING…CAN’T DEBATE SO CHANGE NUMBERS. }

PAPER: 'THE OBAMA YOU DON'T KNOW'...‘…
But beyond the spin and the polls, a starkly different picture emerges. It is a portrait of a man quite unlike his image, not a visionary reformer but rather a classic Chicago machine pol who thrives on rewarding himself and his friends with the spoils of public office, and who uses his position to punish his enemies. Peter Schweizer captures this other Obama with a bracing statistic in his book "Throw Them All Out," published last year. In the Obama economic stimulus program's Department of Energy loans, companies owned and run by Obama contributors and friends, like Solyndra's George Kaiser, received $16.4 billion. Those not linked to the president got only $4.1 billion. The Energy Department is far from the only federal program in which favoritism has heavily influenced federal grants. To paraphrase Tammany Hall's George Washington Plunkitt, Obama has seen his opportunities and taken them, over and over. - Mark Tapscott / Executive Editor

ELECTION MANIPULATION: NEW PUMPING BEGINS!!  { This is an especially great opportunity to sell this suckers’ market/take profits! Nothing’s been solved! Just because ‘no-recession-helicopter-ben’ says something, does not mean it’s true (remember that ‘no recession call’ of his; and, of course, no QE before the election, prospectively, already discounted many times over by the ‘markets, such as they are, ie., algo buy programs, etc.. ).  All this and now ‘whatever’ is too little and too late for the uss Titanic which has taken on too much, not water, but b***s***. This was a desperate move, bespeaking desperation.The fact is things are ominously so bad, and worse than ‘allowed’ to be seen for the moment, that something as this QE which is economically and financially contraindicated and a proven failure for all but the frauds on wall street along with their cohorts including desperate politicos, is resorted to in desperation to divert attention from their unequivocal failure. After all, though having cost so many americans their jobs with wrong calls and policies, bernanke is trying to save his own by inflating the markets (along with everything else, ultimately hyperinflationary)  for fellow failure wobama’s sake (wobama rehired failure bernanke, President Romney would have fired, and will fire him … goldman sachs knew this dollar debasing failed policy QE 3 would come and at the expense of the muppets…that’s their term for all you suckers). I further believe this contraindicated largess to the frauds on wall street is to preserve his post fedship tenure job possibilities by ingratiating himself even further with those nefarious, self-serving interest groups. }

ROMNEY: 'Forwarned' is better than 'forward''...  { Sampling some of the network talking head roundtables over the weekend I was astounded how many wobamanoid apologists talked up the dismal, paltry private jobs, many part-time or low-pay, without mention of the record insurmountable $5 trillion increase in the deficit to create them for the purpose of obfuscating wobama’s blatantly failed performance as potus. Such people, either so partisan, so unschooled in the relevant disciplines, so ill-prepared for the journalistic task entrusted to them, literally have no defendable place in the field of real journalism and are an embarrassment to all that journalism purports to be. }

Yet, it cannot be denied that nobody, no news organization, not even a government agency did their homework in vetting this complete and utter fraud called ‘barack obama’! } ‘…After a couple of nights at the Time Warner Cable Arena, the convention was to have closed with President Obama’s acceptance speech at the Bank of America Stadium, where convention officials were planning to squeeze nearly 6,000 seats onto the field to expand the stadium’s capacity beyond its usual 74,000. But the speedway event was canceled — ostensibly because of logistical problems but more likely because convention fundraising was running low. Then the Democrats canceled the stadium event in favor of the smaller arena — ostensibly because of “severe thunderstorm” concerns but more likely because they couldn’t be sure enough people would come to fill the stadium.In fact, the forecast hadn’t called for severe weather, and conditions were fine Thursday night. The change caused thousands to be turned away, and the crush of crowds at the arena led authorities at one point to lock down the building for a second straight night – leaving some delegates on the street while lobbyists enjoyed the proceedings inside…’

Drudgereport: UPDATE: Obama gives himself an 'incomplete' grade...   { Wow! The audacity! The unmitigated gall! This from the record holder for fundraisers, 151 and counting. Then there’s the 100 plus rounds of golf in addition to being famously over-vacationed while in office. Did wobama expect that these things would in choom fashion magically come to fruition while he was ‘workin on his tan’, golf swing, or shootin’ hoops on the taxpayer dime? http://albertpeia.com/wobamaschoomgangfantasy.htm 

The point is that you don’t have to love Romney but you at least have to like yourself in saying ‘NO!’ to more wobama b***s*** which is all that he is. Have some self-respect. His grade is unequivocally ‘F’ for failure, having failed to do as promised which coincidentally is a direct cause among others of this debacle called america’s dark obama years. All the talk/b***s*** cannot change that reality.   }

There are few physical tasks they do well and even fewer of said available tasks relative to their populations to make a difference. They are a near complete washout in non-physical tasks, are too costly and are bad workers, unproductive generally to employ and not worth the enormous cost and trouble. The very scant few exceptions are statistically insignificant. Niggers belong in jails where they can commit no crimes in general society; plus there’s the savings thereby on their invariably wasted welfare, programs in addition to their predisposed crimes on the outside…It is far cheaper to jail them which is best for civilized society (look at their off the charts crime rates, and that’s only those that are caught! They’ve literally destroyed cities as is so wherever they are in concentrated numbers. These are indisputable facts/truths that civilized societies/governments can no longer afford to deny.) } ...

Dreams also related the tale of Obama's paternal grandfather, Hussein Onyango, who was said to have been detained and tortured in a prison outside Nairobi for six months because of his brave defiance of British colonialists. But after a half-dozen interviews and other research, Maraniss deemed the tale "unlikely."

So true in fact, that wobama will come to be compared to Pyrrhus of Ephyrus (W. Greece) since realization of what this legislation won’t do for americans and the economy and what it actually does will not have the galvanizing effect that striking the bill down would have had on voters who were thinking ‘another free lunch from the government’ will save them (we all now know better, no such thing). Yes, in somewhat European tradition, defacto bankrupt america is keeping up with the (ie., rating agencies Egan) Joneses. After all, we all know how well this European program model is working out for Europe (and any other nation that’s tried it). In the final analysis, this and such programs as the contraindicated bailouts for the unprosecuted frauds on wall street, etc., will prove to be the ‘camel-back breaking’ moment for america; and, a pyrrhic victory for the egregiously failed president wobama.  America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke. There are signs everywhere one looks…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion }

{ Wobama is so pathetic! Sure, sacrifice for the grifter wobamas so they can continue livin’ large on the taxpayer dime while accomplishing nothing except greater public debt to hide his failure. This from the record holder for fundraisers, 151 and counting. Then there’s the 100 plus rounds of golf in addition to being famously over-vacationed while in office. It’s laughable to hear him blame congress for his lack of accomplishments when the reality is that he ‘really wasn’t there’ for any of it. For wobama the presidency is just endless debate, rhetoric, campaigning, vacationing, soundbites from the teleprompted speeches, jive-talk, b***s***, and ‘choom fantasy’. He’s a total fraud and failure and anyone who buys into election-year desperation / promises, etc., is just a fool of the worst kind!   AP: ‘…
THE FACTS: Five Senate Democrats voted against sending the DREAM Act to the Senate floor for full consideration. The bill would have created a path to citizenship for many young illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children. Last week, Obama announced plans to stop deporting illegal immigrants who would have qualified for the DREAM Act. The policy change does not include a path to citizenship…’ Then there’s the other meretricious ‘wobama desperation hail mary’ that once again falls short. Indeed, as an investor, one analyzes earnings, projects prospective earnings over a 3-5 year horizon, and the quality of the earnings along macro economic factors which are affected by ‘political considerations’. Does anyone remember the honorable Ross Perot who warned of NAFTA’s effect on american jobs even as the democrat administration et als were hell-bent on passing same? Should Romney have breached his legal duty to shareholders and invested in companies with poor earnings prospects? After all, in the financial / security analysis step of projecting the income statement, prospective labor costs figure prominently in the bottomline. In sum, Romney took conditions as he found them, and made the prudent choices which as per his legal duty were optimal for those who put their trust in him. For those who put their trust in proven failure wobama, all they have to show for such misplaced trust are broken campaign promises, now insurmountable record deficit spending exceeding all the presidents since Eisenhower combined to obfuscate what clearly has been wobama’s unequivocal failure.  }

Trayvon Martin's autopsy shows he had marijuana in his system the night he was killed by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, and a gunshot to his chest came from close range, according to nearly 200 pages of previously undisclosed documents released Thursday.

Niggers are a scourge wherever they are; a black plague, if you will. The reality is that in this nation, having been overrun by niggers, americans have become the new age dinosaurs.

Then again, I can’t emphasize enough how despicable the “lawyer” field really is. There is no shame in it. The profession is a giant conflict of interest. Moreover, the rules of lawyer ethics always being pulpitted is nothing more than consumable fodder for the gullible. Ethics and lawyers? Laughable isn’t it? That’s like Lucifer passing out copies of the decalogue.

Shooter of Florida teen not a racist, lawyer says...
SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

And, not just whites; viz., Asians, Hispanics, real American Indians,  etc., and most feral beasts except dogs are better than blacks who are at best their equals, though some dog owners/lovers may dispute that. Niggers are a scourge on civilized society wherever they are. Just look around, worldwide, wherever they are, in concentrations particularly; it’s the same nigger story. That’s the way they are. That’s what they are. They are a blight on any neighborhood. They are a blight on any society and an insurmountable burden. They bring any society down. Some will argue, how ‘bout sports?, to which one may reply, ie., just because you go to horse races, doesn’t mean you want to live with horses, or, just because you have monkeys in zoos doesn’t mean you want to live with them, etc., much less cede control and affect over society to them.  ] '

Suspended THREE times for drugs, truancy and graffiti and 'caught carrying a burglary tool': New picture emerges of Trayvon Martin (and did he attack a bus driver too?)

The teen was suspended from school three times

He was on suspension when he was shot in February, after officials caught him with a 'marijuana pipe' and a baggie with drug residue

Trayvon was kicked out of school in October for graffiti after he was allegedly caught with a 'burglary tool' and a bag full of women's jewelry

Officials also suspended him once for skipping school and tardiness

Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times in the months before he was shot dead by a neighborhood watchman, it emerged today.

The facts, revealed in a leaked report, paint a different picture of a teenager who frequently found himself in trouble with authorities.

It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that it is claimed belonged to the teen.

The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a 'burglary tool' - a flathead screwdriver - and 12 pieces of women's jewellery. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.

The other major crimes they do anyway. It’s their nature. You’ll never change the nigger … they evolved only to ‘a point’ and no further.  ] Fairgoers 'pulled out of cars'... 'They were just going after white people'...  Heightened security...  [ I refrained from using the ‘n word’ (or even blacks / negroes) in referring to the culprits in the following two incidents (those tender sensibilities) but I’m sure you’ve guessed that they were niggers and I include same here in light of the foregoing incident (and yes, the victims were white), which is typical. ‘.. while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a “park” - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA’s position with both felonies ( he went to prison – pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of ‘bystander effect’ / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal  / nigger after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal / nigger went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 niggers and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA. But, to be fair and balanced, the RICO litigation involves those uncivilized who consider themselves ‘whites’ http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf  (predominantly but not exclusively jews / romans-italians / mobsters / government slugs). ]

People domestically and internationally are suffering from nigger-fatigue and are totally niggered out. Oh, yeah, there are some Hollywood types who feel good about themselves having niggers around and helping niggers to help them feel better than they really are, insecure as they are, by being better than at least someone beyond fantasy. Loony george clooney is one. Dreadfully boring and with that monotone, monotonous voice and not that bright, he’s not even able to fake it on screen as an action hero (ie., batman, what a horrific miscast) wimpy pussy in reality that he is; then there’s the ‘black (sean) penn’ who cried like a baby while incarcerated for a couple of days not that long ago. The atheist jolie, so fatherly troubled as she is, has let the equally mentally troubled pitt (she so nutty she makes him feel somewhat sane though still not too bright) and pendulum ‘backwoods bob’ be the closest she’s gotten to her black projects. Let them live anonomously (in disguise) with the niggers for some time for a real close look and then see what’s left of their predisposed love for the nigger. Then there’s the italian scallion, booby deniro; drug addled as his black wife high-tower, what a total embarrassment to Italians everywhere; even as he tried to ingratiate himself recently with niggers everywhere and particularly national embarrassment mammy michele with the embarrassing pro-nigger first lady remark..   [ Send the niggers back to sub-saharan Africa! ]

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

Yet, said position is still unequivocally, absolutely incorrect; but, understandable. The position of the atheist is at the least intellectually dishonest (at worst, constituting a petulant penchant for the ‘great lie’ and in some instances, an inherent capacity for great evil). But, as well, incorrect, and certainly not understandable; and all the more wrong by positing something they don’t and hence, obviously, could not know as being so. Atheists are, quite simply…pathetic! }

Zimbabwe's Mugabe Proclaims Himself Africa's Goldman Sachs

Since we first started discussing the new frontier of investment (or economic hitmen), Africa has been appearing more and more in the headlines - from labor conditions in the South to military action in the North. Natural resources and leverageable assets remain key as the infamous Zimbabwean 'dictator' Robert Mugabe, fighting for re-election at the age of 89, maintains that Zimbabwe's difficulties stem from a Western plot to re-colonize it. With more than 80% of the country unemployed but rampant inflation somewhat calmed, Reuters notes that Mugabe believes "It's God's choice" that he is running in this close election. Just like Goldman Sachs "doing God's work", Mugabe believes "this is a task the Lord might have wanted me to fulfill among my people...," regarding the liberation struggle for black economic empowerment. More than 4,000 out of an original 4,500 white-owned farms have been seized since 2000 under a program he says is aimed at correcting land ownership imbalances created by colonialism. The consensus is that a free and fair election will create a true democratic outcome, but as one local noted "with his record I just don't see how Mugabe can win a free and fair election." Indeed, though the jackals remain.

 

 

Stanley Druckenmiller: "We Have An Entitlement Problem" And One Day The Fed's Hamster Wheel Will Stop Two and a half years ago, George Soros' former partner Stanley Druckenmiller closed shop when he shut down his iconic Duquesne Management, after generating 30% average annual returns since 1986. Some time later he raised many red flags by being one of the first "establishment" types to expose the Fed's take over of the market when he said in a rare May 2011 interview that "It's not a free market. It's not a clean market.... The market isn't saying anything about the future. It's saying there's a phony buyer of $19 billion of Treasurys a week." This was in the context of the constantly declining interest rates on an ever exploding US debt load. And while back then total debt was a "manageable" $14.3 trillion, as of today it is some $2.3 trillion higher moments ago printing at a fresh record high of $16.6 trillion, not surprisingly the phony buyer is still here only now he is buying not $19 billion by over $20 billion in total debt each week. But just like it was the relentless rise in the US debt that forced him out of his privacy in the public scene back then, so it was also the US debt that was also the topic of his rare CNBC appearance today (where he fiercely poked at all those other TV chatterbox pundits when he said "money managers should manage money and not go on shows like this") in the aftermath of his recent WSJ Op-Ed. There, he once again said what everyone knows but is scared to admit: "we have an entitlement problem."

http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm      
http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm   Earlier today, in what can only be summarized as an epic meltdown, NJ governor Chris Christie proceeded with an even more epic rant against House speaker John Boehner, in narrow terms, and House Republicans in broader, for killing the $60 billion Sandy Assistance bill, whose funding would have offset one full year of the just legislated tax hikes on the rich which would add $62 billion annually to the Treasury (or alternatively would have been unfundable for the next 2 months while the US struggles to pay its mandatory bills courtesy of having breached the debt ceiling). Alternatively, all Americans could just agree to accept less welfare and entitlement benefits to show their solidarity for New Jersey and fund the recovery of the Tristate area by a "shared sacrifice" instead of going the default route and demanding even more deficit spending - something that would naturally saddle the next generation with even more pain, not the current, far more entitled one - but in this country that is an absolutely ludicrous proposition. Below is a clip of the entire Christie performance which is a must see for sheer indignation entertainment value alone.

Woman hung from tree after rape...

India reports 25 rapes in week following Delhi gangrape IBNLive  { See, as per the californication amerikan jurisprudential scholar/jurist/judge, these 25 girls may not have realized it, but, they really wanted it … you know, otherwise, as per the californication jurisprudential scholar/jurist/judge these subconsciously consensual encounters could not have happened because the body would ‘just say no’ to such liasons if nonconsensual. There you go! … american jurisprudence has done it again as they guide us through those dark, shadowy, murky areas of the law that would otherwise label violent criminal rapists as violent criminal rapists.  (We’re talking India here; but, violent rape among a plethora of other substantial crimes including murder, huge protected ie., wall street, etc., frauds, armed robberies, etc., are rampant in pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america.)  India gang-rape suspects to face murder charges (CBS/AP) NEW DELHI - Indian police charged six men with murder on Saturday, hours after a woman who was gang-raped and beaten on a bus in New Delhi nearly two weeks ago died in a Singapore hospital. { Clearly, says the california-american jurist/jurisprudential scholar, this girl was not a victim but really ‘wanted it’ and while she may have been screaming/saying ‘no’, she really meant ‘yes’ since otherwise her body wouldn’t have permitted that rape (and beating) to happen. See … now that’s why we have professionally educated/trained judges … to ‘split the pubic hairs’, so to speak … (that judge should be forced to step down)} Calif. judge says a victims' bodies can prevent rape CBS News SANTA ANA, Calif. A Southern California judge is being publicly admonished for saying a rape victim "didn't put up a fight" during her assault and that if someone doesn't want sexual intercourse, the body "will not permit that to happen.” { Wow! Spoken like a true california american jurist. Well, with violent rapes on the rise along with other serious violent among other crimes in america and california particularly, and elections being what they are, ‘might as well go with the flow’ might have been the ratio-decedendi. After all, most violent criminals in america are closet pacifists/peace corp members and if the body says yes or no but the mind subconsciously says yes, only then will a rape happen (NOT!); and, no violent rapist would let a LIVE/CONSCIOUS rape-resistor get in the way of implicit consensual rape. Wow! I initially was going to quip, ‘he doesn’t get out much’; but, maybe he just ‘gets out too much’. Wow! What more can anyone say! [ If the foregoing didn’t make sense to you, that’s because the californication judge’s outrageous statement is absolutely preposterous! ] }

30 Population Control Quotes That Show That The Elite Truly Believe That Humans Are A Plague Upon The Earth

http://thetruthwins.com

http://albertpeia.com/humanplagueonearth.htm

{ It really doesn’t matter what they believe; but rather, it’s what is, that counts. Anyone with average intelligence or better, if they’ve been paying attention, ineluctably must conclude that humans are a ‘net negative’ in real terms. That will never change! Human beings are, on balance, inherently destructive. Fortunately, universally, there is no significant impact inasmuch as the human plague is confined to this solar system; and, for all intents and purposes, to this dying planet. Remember, there’s just decades left at best! }

[   12 Pictures That Demonstrate How The New World Order Openly Mocks Us http://albertpeia.com/newworldordervedgesmockus.htm  { First, let me say that the vedges of the so-called new world order are in no real position to mock anyone, so mockable as they indeed are, as the incompetent vegetables that they in fact are, who have been the very architects of ultimately their own and the planet’s decline, fall, and demise. Yet, there is no question but that the ‘masses’ so mocked, deserve to be mocked, having embraced their dismal fate at every turn; viz., their embrace of ‘political correctness’, though contraindicated, as, ie., the embrace of the violent, destructive nigger who literally would have them for dinner, or the compulsion to embrace that which the state says is right, though contraindicated, for political expedience owing to failure fed (including the incompetent missteps of the failed fed) desperation, ie., gay marriage, etc., contrived wars / conflicts, among other clearly observable, self-interested behavior of people, companies, nations, including the gargantuan bailed out frauds on wall street to everyone’s (but the frauds’) detriment, still unprosecuted. That the jive-talking, b***s*** artist/grifter/con-man obama has not been held to even one of his former now broken campaign promises and is embraced by those foolish enough to believe more of the same is testament to how deserving of mocking the masses truly are (people should be outraged and wobama should be ‘ridden out on a rail’). Make no mistake; the reality is that the ‘new world order’/so-called ‘elite’ are not elite at all; but rather, incompetent vegetables who can’t do anything right as they’ve now proven time and time again.

Guest Post: All Is Well

        Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. Aldous Huxley

The entire system is corrupt to its core. Both political parties, regulatory agencies, Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, and mainstream media are participants in this enormous fraud. They grow more desperate and bold by the day. The lies, misinformation and propaganda being spewed on a daily basis become more outrageous and audacious. They are using the Big Lie method on a grand scale. They frantically need to lure the muppets into the stock market and the housing market to keep the game going a little longer. You can sense we are reaching a tipping point. The system they have created is mathematically unsustainable. Therefore, it will not be sustained.

It’s taking longer than anticipated as I now enter the fourth day of download (has taken five days, total) [through no fault of Time Warner – they offer a superfast internet service/connection for more money which is far more than I need relative to cost though truth be told, I lamented it would have been handy for this time-consuming, ‘laborious’/tedious task (requiring surface attention, ie., file overwrites, preventing automatic shutdown for installation of windows updates, etc., interrupting the FTP flow) which I didn’t want to foul by usurping bandwith/memory for this mundane endeavor]. The new HP laptop with extra-large disk space running windows 8 which I specifically bought for this intended purpose of backup became problematic inasmuch as the screen-saver was not readily turned off as is easily discernible and accomplished in other windows op systems and which cut out my ftp connection (filezilla courtesy of mozilla/firefox is great) when operative. The fixes as per google search either weren’t present in this windows 8 offering or, from my perspective, not worth the risk (one such was a registry editing program/script that disabled screensaver which I could not and did not risk – remember, with google/nsa links you see what they want you to see, which of itself is informational). I thereupon used a crossover cable to transfer files from my other laptop which I’m using for the backup files - windows 8 saw it just fine which had not been the case with prior windows versions when I tried same. Interestingly (or not), and I can’t even say how, on the new windows 8 laptop, after some belated ‘tinkering’, up popped an AMD power/vision window which allowed for my ‘never’ entries on screensaver for both battery (longer battery-held charge probably the reason for the ‘intended’ difficulty regarding disabling same?) and plug-in/adapter, but the older HP laptop’s already doing just fine.

 

I no longer will be following/posting Dave’s Daily. Quite simply, I believe Dave’s lost his edge, or more euphemistically, his objectivity; but, primarily for the following reason:

Kyle Bass Tells 'Nominal' Stock Market Cheerleaders: Remember Zimbabwe Amid the euphoria of today's crossing of the Dow's Maginot Line at 14,000, Kyle Bass provided a few minutes of sanity this morning in an interview with CNBC's Gary Kaminsky. Bass starts by reflecting on the ongoing (and escalating) money-printing (or balance sheet expansion as we noted here) as the driver of stock movements currently and would not be surprised to see them move higher still (given the ongoing printing expected). However, he caveats that nominally bullish statement with a critical point, "Zimbabwe's stock market was the best performer this decade - but your entire portfolio now buys you 3 eggs" as purchasing power is crushed. Investors, he says, are "too focused on nominal prices" as the rate of growth of the monetary base is destroying true wealth. Bass is convinced that cost-push inflation is coming (as the velocity of money will move once psychology shifts) and investors must not take their eye off the insidious nature of underlying inflation - no matter what we are told by the government (as they will always lie when its critical)…”

Dave’s business is stocks and he’s a seasoned professional that I began following solely for his acute sense of  humor and likeable nature thereby (as well as the obviousness of his formidable education however acquired); then for succinct summaries of market action wherein he never shirked from calling a spade a spade. That’s changed somewhat; and, not just because he’s admittedly long on stocks. Stocks are what he does, every day; and, I assume the funds he manages to be manageable in size and liquid enough to get out when necessary without such substantial damage as might otherwise be the case. More recently, his tone has changed even, however sarcastically, referring to ZeroHedge as ‘wiseguys’ in stating a truth he full well knows to be true (Dave’s now 100%hedged, not as they are 0%hedged in their commentary). I can understand that. I don’t begrudge Dave’s business approach and wish him well. I’m more focused on critical data for those who have neither the time, energy, nor inclination to parse criminal insanity which literally is all the financial/stock markets have become; initially here, but now as ubiquitous as the fraudulent squid (goldman sachs among now many others) globally. There has never in the history of this planet been such dire financial/economic/logistical/demographic circumstances/predicaments as now (sheer magnitude and computerized fraud, obfuscation has exacerbated this ominous scenario unlike any before). That this all will end quite badly, disastrously, there is no question as such is an absolute certainty!

        Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. Aldous Huxley

The entire system is corrupt to its core. Both political parties, regulatory agencies, Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, and mainstream media are participants in this enormous fraud. They grow more desperate and bold by the day. The lies, misinformation and propaganda being spewed on a daily basis become more outrageous and audacious. They are using the Big Lie method on a grand scale. They frantically need to lure the muppets into the stock market and the housing market to keep the game going a little longer. You can sense we are reaching a tipping point. The system they have created is mathematically unsustainable. Therefore, it will not be sustained.

 

Heffernan: Microsoft is back — Why the dorky Apple rival is suddenly cool { Forget cool, when it comes to computers/computing, I’m more concerned with stability and performance. As a critic of Microsoft beyond their breakthrough Windows 2000 (professional) and Word offerings, I felt compelled to comment here. XP was a dog and deserving of  criticism (innumerable problems including acting as a ‘virus magnet’). Quite by ‘accident’, I plugged in an old apple usb mouse and my problems with vista (sic), Windows 7, literally disappeared (I then ordered a new usb mouse for right-click, scroll capability). Vista…Whoops, my mistake…I meant to say Windows 7 (not thinking there’s a difference; obviously I haven’t followed their recent past misguided exploits closely)… Windows 7 is by far and away superior to xp (and Vista) in every way. It apparently was the legacy mouse and problems created thereby (with ram, resources, cache/processor, etc.) that impaired stability and performance and I’m happy to say thus far, Windows 7 (with updates to date) is a solid successor to 2000 and microsoft’s best operating system to date (I had  a minor problem with cache/memory which required a work-around and elimination of a program ‘shortcut’ … not a fatal error, but not good either, and no such problems since). I’m now nearly 100% Hewlett Packard (2 desk tops/2 laptops) and really must say that’s a big credit to Hewlett Packard (in 1999 I bought a Compaq laptop for $1,200 new, and it didn’t even boot. To Office Depot’s credit, they gave me my money back – no small task in america today. I thereupon regretfully bought a Sony VAIO – I’ve always had high regard for the late, brilliant Morita – and although windows millennium can be faulted somewhat, I was not able to upgrade to windows 2000 professional for whatever proprietary reason. Computers are just not Sony’s thing. The new HP laptop has windows 8 which I can’t evaluate fairly since the touchscreen capability is not available for this laptop –built into the price however- but it seems stable as is so of windows 7, supra, and the HP laptop a very good value. }

That said, it's no mystery that john boner is not a bright man, a fact that's not lost on anyone including his (rusted, rust-belt) home state of ohio which lamentably was carried by wobama who should be impeached. It doesn't matter what wobama says, but rather what he does that counts. First, start with prosecution/disgorgement from the huge frauds in the trillions, protected on capital hill, including the likes of wobama contributor, jon corzine et als. Second, fraud in social security disability is rampant and must be eliminated. Term limits and paycuts for congress are appropriate owing to egregiously failed performance, along with cuts to budgetary allotments to the wasteful government employee slugs and bureaucracy. People should be educated on the notion of 'utility' of, ie., a dollar to a rich man relative to a poor man, which argues for progressive rates of taxation; and hence, as supported by warren buffet, higher taxes in absolute terms on the rich without gorging them (most wealthy people in america are either overpaid, ie., ceos relative to other countries, or are criminals in deriving their fortunes, as ie., wall street, trump, other mobsters/mafia, etc., and as I've alluded to from my direct observation and experience, immediately infra (that's all for now as I must get back to finishing my backup tasks which are nearly complete.

 

This probably is indicative of their acknowledgement of their concerted, failed money-printing/over-spending modus operandi and the inevitable hyperinflation to follow.

El-Erian On Stocks: "Prices Are Artificially High - It’s Time to Take Profits"

"It’s not going away, it’s going to get worse," is how PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian warns Yahoo's Lauren Lyster about central bank policy and the currency wars that are so much in discussion currently. Central banks have been compelled to undertake unconventional measures, things they haven’t done before, because other policymakers are not stepping up to take responsibility on the fiscal side. These implicit devaluations and beggar-thy-neighbor policies force a lot of liquidity into the system and by pushing up asset prices, central banks believe, create a 'weath effect'. It can also trigger “animal spirits” – we get all excited and invest more. In terms of equity markets, El-Erian says investors are split into two camps. One camp believes that everything will go higher and central banks will succeed in their efforts. The other camp believes asset prices are going to come down to meet the fundamentals. El-Erian puts himself in the second camp. “We think that prices are artificially high, that maintaining them here is going to be hard as central banks become less effective, and that it’s time to book some profits and to wait for some better entry points,” he explains. He clarifies that this is not a “Lehman moment." But “prices that have gotten way ahead of what policy can deliver,"



Goldman 'Explains' The 'Market': "Best Not To Look A Gift-Horse In The Mouth"

Good news, bad news, no news, dips, no dips, who cares. As Goldman sales/trading desk says, never look a gift-Bernanke in the mouth (especially if he ends up in a frozen lasagna at a store near you).

From GS:

A solid rally today and new cycle highs for US equities but thats where the story stops. No obvious catalyst. No bullish data. European stocks traded well, with most people pointing to a better German ZEW print, but its not clear why that would translate into such a strong US trading session. Maybe its best though not to look a gift-horse in the mouth.

One can't help but laugh at this "market."  { Riiiiight! Sounds like a plan! The ‘gift-horse’ that’s … not a gift-horse at all … You’re paying through your nose and teeth. It was amusing to see mainstream media puzzling over the record high gas prices so early in this time of year, and as well, the coming jump in beef prices. There’s no mystery here! This is the natural and inevitable concomitant to ‘printing presses gone wild’. Not printing presses for product for intellectual consumption; but rather, printing presses (whether by print or computer leger entry) for those ever more worthless paper fiat dollars backed by nothing but insurmountable debt of a defacto bankrupt nation. Remember: There’s no free lunch … fraudulent wall street’s predictable/intended gain (from QE, currency debasement, etc.) is your substantial pain! It’s the zimbabwee financial model gone american …

Post-Hyperinflationary Zimbabwe Welcomes The Holidays With 80% Unemployment, Empty ATMs And Paralyzed Transport  { Just another typical nigger! Speaking of niggers, if wobama is given the opportunity as he has thus far, he’ll tread the same path as fellow nigger mugabe. } … Zimbabweans are facing bleak holidays this year amid rising poverty, food and cash shortages and political uncertainty, with some describing it as the worst since the formation of the coalition government in the southern African nation.... Banks have closed, ATMs have run out of cash and transport services have been paralyzed." It gets worse: "Zimbabwe's unemployment is pegged at around 80 percent with many people in Harare, the capital, eking out a living by selling vegetables and fruits on street corners." And all of this is after the massive economic imbalances in Zimbabwe's economy should have been "fixed" (or so conventional economic theory would have one believe) courtesy of hyperinflation, which left any savers in tatters, destroyed the value of the old currency, benefited solely debtors  but also allowed a fresh start to a government, which could only remain in power due to a violent power grab by the democratically elected-turned-dictator Robert Mugabe.



 

Global ‘credit supernova’ turns 2013 bull to bear Marketwatch

Paul B. Farrell Archives | Email alerts Feb. 9, 2013, 6:02 a.m. EST Global credit supernova turns 2013 bull into bear

Commentary: Bill Gross warns about Fed’s cheap-money schemes

By Paul B. Farrell, MarketWatch

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) Bill Gross predicting a Credit Supernova. Yes, thats what the Bond King sees dead ahead. He knows, his firm has $2 trillion at risk of collapsing into the Black Hole coming after the Credit Supernova, when the Federal Reserve cheap money finally explodes in Americas face, brings down the economy, again.

Gross’s Credit Supernova metaphor is the explosive headline on his latest Pimco newsletter. So what’s a supernova? Jump over to the Space.com’s parallel universe where you’ll discover a supernova happens when a “blindingly bright star bursts into view in a corner of the night sky ... burns like a ... brilliant point of light.”

A supernova is “the explosion of a star that has reached the end of its life ... Supernovas can briefly outshine entire galaxies and radiate more energy than our sun will in its entire lifetime.”

Yes, a supernova is the “explosion of a star that has reached the end of its life.”

“End of its life?” Is America’s star economy burning out? Sure sounds like it: Gross is doing more than just hinting with his Credit Supernova metaphor. He’s predicting the collapse of the American economy and global financial markets, far worse than the 2008 Wall Street bank credit collapse, worse than the 2000 dot-com crash.

As the folks over at Business Insider put it: “Investment banks have morphed markets with ‘Ponzi Finance.’ And time is almost up.”

Fed’s Ponzi scheme: Credit expansion killing economic growth

Business Insider’s Matthew Boesler summarized Gross’s rather cryptic metaphor this way: Gross’s newsletter “tackles the relationship between credit expansion and real growth” where under Bernanke the Fed’s cheap-money bubble makes our monetary problems get bigger as the Fed keeps kicking them down the road.

So the Fed’s “Ponzi Finance” must run its printing presses full blast to pump more and more credit into the economy “just to cover increasingly burdensome interest payments, with accelerating inflation the end result.”

The problem is huge: Bernanke’s Ponzi Finance is self-sabotaging. Endless cheap money upsets the balance between credit expansion and real economic growth, resulting in diminishing returns: “Each additional dollar of credit seems to create less and less heat. In the 1980s, it took four dollars of new credit to generate $1 of real GDP. Over the last decade, it has taken $10, and since 2006, $20 to produce the same result.” Bad news.

Yes, Wall Street and central banks worldwide are the engine driving Bernanke’s Ponzi scheme straight into a Credit Supernova bubble. Why? Because in the past generation more and more of the Fed’s new credit was channeled into market speculation, distorting the balance between markets and the real economy.

“Investment banking, which only a decade ago promoted small-business development and transition to public markets, now is dominated by leveraged speculation and the Ponzi Finance.”

Gross warns: As a result, “our credit-based financial markets and the economy it supports are levered, fragile and increasingly entropic — it is running out of energy and time. When does money run out of time? The countdown begins when investable assets pose too much risk for too little return; when lenders desert credit markets for other alternatives such as cash or real assets,” a trend that’s already accelerating as more and more investors wise up to Wall Street’s dangerous Ponzi Finance, anticipating that a Credit Supernova will soon bring down Bernanke’s totally mismanaged monetary system, probably in 2013, months before his scheduled retirement.

After Credit Supernova will banks see the light ... or stay blinded?

Alan Blinder is familiar to Wall Street Journal readers and investors. The former vice chair of the Federal Reserve just published “After the Music Stopped: The Financial Crisis, the Response, and the Work Ahead.” His recent New York Times op-ed piece is a perfect playbook of what’s coming after Wall Street’s Credit Supernova explodes.

Blinder opens by quoting Hegel: “What experience and history teaches us is that people and governments have never learned anything from history.” But then Blinder adds, “actually, I think people do learn. The problem is that they forget, sometimes amazingly quickly. That seems to be happening today, even though recovery from the economic debacle of 2008-9 is far from complete. Evidence of this forgetting is everywhere.”

His list of Wall Street’s mental blocks is all too familiar. They are blind, in denial. So Blinder “encapsulates what we must remember about the financial crisis into 10 financial commandments, all of which were brazenly violated in the years leading up to the crisis.”

Imagine his frustration, like Moses coming down from the mountain, seeing the people partying, honoring false idols, the golden calf of profits. Wall Street did the same, forgot in 2000, forgot again in 2008, went back to the same old tricks.

Kyle Bass Tells 'Nominal' Stock Market Cheerleaders: Remember Zimbabwe Amid the euphoria of today's crossing of the Dow's Maginot Line at 14,000, Kyle Bass provided a few minutes of sanity this morning in an interview with CNBC's Gary Kaminsky.

Dave’s business is stocks and he’s a seasoned professional that I began following soley for his acute sense of  humor and likeable nature thereby (as well as the obviousness of his formidable education however aquired); then for succinct summaries of market action wherein he never shirked from calling a spade a spade. That’s changed somewhat; and, not just because he’s admittedly long on stocks. Stocks are what he does, every day; and, I assume the funds he manages to be manageable in size and liquid enough to get out when necessary without such substantial damage as might otherwise be the case. More recently, his tone has changed even, however sarcastically, referring to ZeroHedge as ‘wiseguys’ in stating a truth he full well knows to be true (Dave’s now 100%hedged, not as they are, 0%hedged in their commentary). I can understand that. I don’t begrudge Dave’s business approach and wish him well. I’m more focused on critical data for those who have neither the time, energy, nor inclination to parse criminal insanity which literally is all the financial/stock markets have become; initially here, but now as ubiquitous as the fraudulent squid (goldman sachs among now many others) globally. There has never in the history of this planet been such dire financial/economic/logistical/demographic circumstances/predicaments as now (sheer magnitude and computerized fraud, obfuscation has exacerbated this ominous scenario unlike any before). That this all will end quite badly, disastrously, there is no question as such is an absolute certainty!

{ We’ve never, in the entire history of economics, finance, markets seen the disconnect from economic/financial reality and fundamentals as pronounced and as great as now. The reality of modern-day computer programs/algos/frauds at lightning computerized speed and sheer desperation on fraudulent wall street whose ever larger protected frauds are literally cheered by failed american leadership at every level. Right now, though contraindicated, the superstitious January effect is in play and manipulated to meet faux bullish expectations. Then too, without doubt, what will be their excuse to not ‘sell in May and go away’ which really should be the mantra at present, now, beyond the hot air, smoke and mirrors, fraud and b***s*** we’re once again seeing in large measure, encouraged and received with ebulliently poised irrational exuberance on wall street and in washington.  Remember the ralleys in sympathy with Apple exuberance, all of which we now know to have had a foundation of little more than ‘apple sauce’. Total b***s***! What’s the next b***s*** story/sizzling fraud? The ‘money’ being cashed out by these frauds has to come from someplace (the real economy) and has already found a way into understated/underreported  inflation rates (for a multiple of staples including food prices), lower margins through higher costs thereby manipulated somewhat by currency manipulations, all of which will be ‘coming due’ in a very big way to the downside, reality-based blowout around the corner. }

You're happy to pass it on and there's nobody talking about death panels. Number one. And also, for the people who were indigent who don't have any money we can make contributions to their HSA each month because we already have this huge pot of money. Instead of sending it to some bureaucracy, let's put it in their HSAs. Now they have some control over their own health care.’) { Sounds smart, good, and rational to me! }

Guest Post: All Is Well

        Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. Aldous Huxley

The entire system is corrupt to its core. Both political parties, regulatory agencies, Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, and mainstream media are participants in this enormous fraud. They grow more desperate and bold by the day. The lies, misinformation and propaganda being spewed on a daily basis become more outrageous and audacious. They are using the Big Lie method on a grand scale. They frantically need to lure the muppets into the stock market and the housing market to keep the game going a little longer. You can sense we are reaching a tipping point. The system they have created is mathematically unsustainable. Therefore, it will not be sustained.

Kyle Bass Tells 'Nominal' Stock Market Cheerleaders: Remember Zimbabwe

Amid the euphoria of today's crossing of the Dow's Maginot Line at 14,000, Kyle Bass provided a few minutes of sanity this morning in an interview with CNBC's Gary Kaminsky. Bass starts by reflecting on the ongoing (and escalating) money-printing (or balance sheet expansion as we noted here) as the driver of stock movements currently and would not be surprised to see them move higher still (given the ongoing printing expected). However, he caveats that nominally bullish statement with a critical point, "Zimbabwe's stock market was the best performer this decade - but your entire portfolio now buys you 3 eggs" as purchasing power is crushed. Investors, he says, are "too focused on nominal prices" as the rate of growth of the monetary base is destroying true wealth. Bass is convinced that cost-push inflation is coming (as the velocity of money will move once psychology shifts) and investors must not take their eye off the insidious nature of underlying inflation - no matter what we are told by the government (as they will always lie when its critical). Own 'productive assets', finance them at low fixed rates (thank you Ben), and finally, on HLF, don't bet against Dan Loeb.

Israeli Attack: Desperate Bid to Save Failed Syrian Campaign  Tony Cartalucci | Israel has conducted airstrikes in Syria based on “suspicions” of chemical weapon transfers. { Yes, indeed! This was a somewhat typical (and costly for the u.s. and the rest of the world) act of desperation by the war crimes nation israel to keep the flames of war stoked in whatever ways possible. The israelis thrive on chaos at other people’s expense/cost and shed blood; and yet, they remain u.n. resolution/international law violators, with 200+ illegal nukes to boot, with barely a peep from the world community as they assume immoral authority to accuse other nations of their own lawless ways. This world can no longer afford war crimes nation israel. } Netanyahu Deploys 'Syrian' Iron-Dome As Israeli Minister Claims US Preparing 'Surgical' Strikes Against Iran  {  Israel warns of possible pre-emptive strike in Syria...  Key facility hit?  Kissinger: Iran nuclear crisis close...  [  Kissinger Predicts Nuclear War with Iran  { This would be a zionist wet dream come true! And, a disaster for literally everyone else, particularly for pervasively corrupt, defact bankrupt america whose prior orwellian pro-israeli moves have not turned out well for anyone including america except for israel, the war profiteers and the military industrial complex as warned against by the underrated but great president General Eisenhower!  } Kurt Nimmo | Characterizes looming conflict as a turning point in human history.”  { Riiiiight! That along with other pro-israeli, u.s.-bankrupting contraindicated positions. The israeli lobby doesn’t even have to pay kissinger for such folly! How ‘bout the turning point being the misguided balfour declaration and the subsequent existing 200+ illegal israeli nukes! }  Video: Globalist Kingpin Predicts Nuclear War with Iran Prison Planet.com | Globalist kingpin, renowned war criminal and Rockefeller co-conspirator Henry Kissinger is talking up a nuclear conflagration. { Riiiiight! That along with other pro-israeli, u.s.-bankrupting contraindicated positions. The israeli lobby doesn’t even have to pay kissinger for such folly! How ‘bout the turning point being the misguided balfour declaration and the subsequent existing 200+ illegal israeli nukes! } ] Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu says his nation must prepare for the threat of a chemical attack from Syria, amid concern at enemy efforts to test a post-election coalition Israel, and has deployed its new Iron Dome anti-missile system near the border with its northern neighbor. Along with this concern, as many have perhaps suspected, the Israeli Defense Minister confirmed yesterday that the US has prepared plans for a 'surgical' military operation to delay Iran's nuclear program. As The Jerusalem Post reports, Ehud Barak, added that in the past the US has been heavy-handed but that under Barack Obama, the United States has "prepared quite sophisticated, fine, extremely fine, scalpels," if the worse comes to the worst - even though the Israeli preference would be to end the nuclear threat diplomatically, calling for tougher sanctions (though he expressed doubt that diplomacy would lead to success). Just another geopolitical hotspot that the world's markets choose to ignore in deference to the one true leader - central bankers.

Heffernan: Microsoft is back — Why the dorky Apple rival is suddenly cool { Forget cool, when it comes to computers/computing, I’m more concerned with stability and performance. As a critic of Microsoft beyond their breakthrough Windows 2000 (professional) and Word offerings, I felt compelled to comment here. XP was a dog and deserving of  criticism (innumerable problems including acting as a ‘virus magnet’). Quite by ‘accident’, I plugged in an old apple usb mouse and my problems with vista (sic), Windows 7, literally disappeared (I then ordered a new usb mouse for right-click, scroll capability). Vista…Whoops, my mistake…I meant to say Windows 7 (not thinking there’s a difference; obviously I haven’t followed their recent past misguided exploits closely)… Windows 7 is by far and away superior to xp (and Vista) in every way. It apparently was the legacy mouse and problems created thereby (with ram, resources, cache/processor, etc.) that impaired stability and performance and I’m happy to say thus far, Windows 7 (with updates to date) is a solid successor to 2000 and microsoft’s best operating system to date (I had  a minor problem with cache/memory which required a work-around and elimination of a program ‘shortcut’ … not a fatal error, but not good either, and no such problems since). I’m now nearly 100% Hewlett Packard (2 desktops/2 laptops) and really must say that’s a big credit to Hewlett Packard (in 1999 I bought a Compaq laptop for $1,200 new, and it didn’t even boot. To Office Depot’s credit, they gave me my money back – no small task in america today. I thereupon regretfully bought a Sony VAIO – I’ve always had high regard for the late, brilliant Morita – and although windows millennium can be faulted somewhat, I was not able to upgrade to windows 2000 professional for whatever proprietary reason. Computers are just not Sony’s thing. The new HP laptop has windows 8 which I can’t evaluate fairly since the touchscreen capability is not available for this laptop –built into the price however- but it seems stable as is so of windows 7, supra, and the HP laptop a very good value. }

{ We’ve never, in the entire history of economics, finance, markets seen the disconnect from economic/financial reality and fundamentals as pronounced and as great as now. The reality of modern-day computer programs/algos/frauds at lightning computerized speed and sheer desperation on fraudulent wall street whose ever larger protected frauds are literally cheered by failed american leadership at every level. Right now, though contraindicated, the superstitious January effect is in play and manipulated to meet faux bullish expectations. Then too, without doubt, what will be their excuse to not ‘sell in May and go away’ which really should be the mantra at present, now, beyond the hot air, smoke and mirrors, fraud and b***s*** we’re once again seeing in large measure, encouraged and received with ebulliently poised irrational exuberance on wall street and in washington.  Remember the ralleys in sympathy with Apple exuberance, all of which we now know to have had a foundation of little more than ‘apple sauce’. Total b***s***! What’s the next b***s*** story/sizzling fraud? The ‘money’ being cashed out by these frauds has to come from someplace (the real economy) and has already found a way into understated/underreported  inflation rates (for a multiple of staples including food prices), lower margins through higher costs thereby, manipulated somewhat by currency manipulations, all of which will be ‘coming due’ in a very big way to the downside, reality-based blowout around the corner. }

25 Signs American Women Are Being Destroyed By The Sexual Revolution And Our Promiscuous Culture

http://albertpeia.com/uspromiscuity.htm

{  I’ve included the following previous reference/link as a matter of disclosure and so as not to appear as a hypocrite in the context of this referenced subject:  Drudgereport: STUDY: Girls As Young As 6 See Themselves As Sex Objects... { Wow! This is really quite alarming and bespeaks america’s new-found perverse, third-world uncivilized status, which is ‘picked up’ by kids who in some ways are smarter than given credit for with a vulnerable longing to please, be accepted in light of their powerless position in our ever more deteriorating society. For the record, personally, I’ve never had a virgin though I’ve been in a position to; that’s something I just don’t do. Never have, never wanted to, never would, never will! Moreover, with the prevalence of sick pedophiles and kiddie-porn, it’s not so surprising that kids might pick up on such abominable vibes. It is difficult to imagine that little girls could be the objects of such horror as, ie., Samantha Runnion ( who was kidnapped, sexually abused and strangled by a man who lured her from her front yard by telling her he had lost his dog. Her naked body was found the next day by a hiker in Cleveland National Forest, 50 miles southeast of Stanton.[1] The autopsy revealed that she died from compression. A sample of the kidnapper's DNA was found under her fingernail. The suspect, a Lake Elsinore, California, man named Alejandro Avila, was convicted of first degree murder with special circumstances in May 2005. His DNA was found on Samantha's body, and her DNA was found in his car. He was arrested three days after the abduction. Avila had previously been to the condominium complex where Samantha lived, because his ex-girlfriend resided there and he had been previously acquitted of molesting her daughter and niece. On May 16, 2005, the jury recommended he receive the death penalty. On July 22, 2005, Avila was formally sentenced to death. He is incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison on death row ). As an aside, I’ve included the following for the record as well: Though I’ve had many consensual sexual liasons with many different female sexual partners (mid-hundreds) all of whom I liked, I’ve never, ever resorted to prostitutes. The accidental exceptions included two ‘call girls’; one having met at summer beach town bar matinee and who was ‘not working’ (as it turned out the reason being she was at the end of her menstrual cycle). The other at a grocery store with her daughter which made such in my mind, unlikely. As it turned out, both were ‘nymphomaniacs’ (which, truth be told, made for quite an exceptional sexual romp) and I simplistically inferred/surmised without dwelling on the subject that they probably expected they’d have inordinate amounts of sex anyway and might as well get paid for it – of course I didn’t nor was I asked to pay. The other incident I’m including here for the record concerned an absolutely beautiful (blonde hair, blue eyes, pretty, cute, perfectly built/proportioned – make no mistake, however, I like brunettes also) girl I met at a bar called ‘the Red Ranch’, later changed to ‘Harpoon Willy’s’. At closing, we immediately became amorous, near intimate to a point in my car with abrupt ‘resistance’ at the ‘crucial moments’. When I finally, ‘exasperated’, asked ‘what’s up’, she stated she had recently broken up with her boyfriend who had gone too far in the ‘sado-masochistic’ ritual behavior they were, and she still was into. I told her I wasn’t into it  (I don’t connect sex with sado-masochism); never would, never did, never will. We talked for quite some time and she explained her ‘predisposition’ the (her perceived) consequence of her strict, puritanical upbringing and feelings of guilt concomitant with sexual activity requiring coincident punishment/pain when so engaged. I was busy with law school evenings, work full-time, and teaching at a local college part-time and parted ways without taking her number and never did see her again. }

{ I will be expounding upon the ground-breakingly new, failed ‘management’ approach adopted by this failed administration; viz., management by exceptions. That’s right! Exceptions!

As tragic as the Sandy Hook tragedy was, for wobama to reveal the failed mindset that’s failed america by managing by exceptions, he stated that he previously was not going to pursue gun control this term (there’s a plethora of greater priorities for this pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt nation), but now, because of this slaughter at the hands of the nutcase, he is. Or, revise all protocols for those who are or choose to be gay, or disregard the oath if an illegal immigrant wants to practice law, or don’t prosecute the biggest exceptionally huge wall street frauds because they are too big to fail/jail or donate mightily to political campaigns (MFGlobal/Corzine), etc., or whatever else for votes, etc., the list goes on and on. Yet, the obfuscations/frauds only mask the inevitably greater, deeper abyss to follow! Yes … there you have it … america’s new managerial approach/theory … on the road to perdition … MANAGEMENT BY EXCEPTIONS.

Assistant Attorney General Breuer Gets DOJ Boot In "Untouchables" Aftermath

Earlier today, we reported that "Assistant Attorney General Admits On TV That In The US Justice Does Not Apply To The Banks" when we commented on last night's PBS special "The Untouchables." Explicitly, we said that it was "Lenny Breuer who made it very clear that when it comes to the concept of justice the banks are and always have been "more equal" than others. He does so in such shocking clarity and enthusiasm that it is a miracle that this person is still employed by the US Department of Justice." As of minutes ago that is no longer the case as his employment contract has been torn up. The WaPo reports, that Lanny A. Breuer is leaving the Justice Department "after leading the agency’s efforts to clamp down on public corruption and financial fraud at the nation’s largest banks, according to several people familiar with the matter....It is not clear when Breuer intends to leave, nor what he plans to do once he departs, but it is certain that the prosecutors days in office are winding down, according to people who were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter."

Germany Starts a Central Bank Run  JAN 17 - CHRISTIAN A. DEHAEMER
http://albertpeia.com/trustingamericainsanity.htm

The Bundesbank Starts a Run on Gold  { Yes, indeed … upon greater reflection, a 7 year wait to repatriate German gold stored at u.s./new york fed, really is a cause for concern. The question is not only whether it’s there (I doubt it!), not only whether what’s there has been displaced (stolen) and supplanted with tungsten gold plate (at best); but, even assuming arguendo it is still there (doubtful), given the undeniable inherent american proclivity for fraud and theft, whether the thieving american frauds will interpose some spurious pretext to preclude if not exclude the possibility of return (the story of america’s foreign and domestic policies in a nutshell). One really has to wonder as to the soundness and rationality of Germany’s decision in answering, why fraudulent america and not the renown, trustworthy and reputable Swiss Banks for storing their gold. } Everything the Bundesbank does is close to perfection. The very fact that it is calling in its gold is monumental in terms of questioning the "full faith and credit" of the United States Treasury...

What Do German Central Bankers Know That We Don’t?

http://albertpeia.com/germanydoesnottrustusfed.htm

 

{ This is a very wise, rational move by Germany which should be lost on no one. Indeed, by so doing, Germany will likely guarantee repatriation of real gold, and not tungsten gold plate. Realize that beyond the theft of $4 trillion still unaccounted for at the new york fed, there have been ever more brazened frauds within the ranks of the u.s. government and connected to the fed. The 360 tons of $100 dollar bills flown into Iraq and disappeared, huge wall street frauds in the trillions still extant and bailed out for the wall street perps by legislated FASB rule change, among many other schemes, scams, facilitated by lightning fast computerization have become both policy and modus operandi of the fed, u.s. government, and insider perps. }

Guest Post: Is American Justice Dead?

Every nation-state has a body of laws woven into the fabric of society. As Peruvian economist Hernando de Soto has commented on extensively, the stronger the rule of law, the stronger the economy. And by "stronger" laws, I mean laws that are impervious to tampering for personal or political gains. The connection between a sound judiciary and economic health is readily comprehensible, except maybe to a politician... businesses and individuals are far more likely to invest capital in a country with understandable laws that are impartially and universally enforced than if the opposite condition exists. That's because the lack of a consistent body of law breeds uncertainty and adds a huge element of risk for entrepreneurs. Which brings us back to the matter at hand – American justice on a slippery slope.

Post-Hyperinflationary Zimbabwe Welcomes The Holidays With 80% Unemployment, Empty ATMs And Paralyzed Transport  { Just another typical nigger! Speaking of niggers, if wobama is given the opportunity as he has thus far, he’ll tread the same path as fellow nigger mugabe. } … Zimbabweans are facing bleak holidays this year amid rising poverty, food and cash shortages and political uncertainty, with some describing it as the worst since the formation of the coalition government in the southern African nation.... Banks have closed, ATMs have run out of cash and transport services have been paralyzed." It gets worse: "Zimbabwe's unemployment is pegged at around 80 percent with many people in Harare, the capital, eking out a living by selling vegetables and fruits on street corners." And all of this is after the massive economic imbalances in Zimbabwe's economy should have been "fixed" (or so conventional economic theory would have one believe) courtesy of hyperinflation, which left any savers in tatters, destroyed the value of the old currency, benefited solely debtors  but also allowed a fresh start to a government, which could only remain in power due to a violent power grab by the democratically elected-turned-dictator Robert Mugabe.

Fiscal cliff, my ass! Come on! Wake up! There’s no real recovery, except, ie., for the huge frauds on wall street (as they cash out worthless paper for bucks/hard assets and churn-and-earn at lightning/computerized algo program speed) which continue unprosecuted and unabated and at everyone else’s expense! Everybody’s paying for the wall street QE/frauds/froth! Huge unaffordable debt increases to mask the obama failure. Threats by the niggers to step up their already substantial violence against whites and riot if no obama ‘re-election’ … that’s terrorism! Unprecedented domestic terrorism! Then the widespread, documented voter fraud favoring obama … not a peep from the ‘status-quo, don’t rock the boat, happy to be there’ republicans. Why bail out wobama? Nothing will be solved by satisficing here! This last minute cramdown is what they’ve opted for by unreasonable, unaffordable, politically motivated intransigence! The nation’s broke! The niggers are pulling down their unaffordable freebies like never before. The extended unemployment benefits are so rich, who’d ever want to work? Time to say no to the niggers! A bit of intestinal fortitude required! F**k wobama, and f**k the niggers and their self-loathing buddies! Selective, rationally strategic ‘undoing’ of various ‘fiscal cliff’ unpleasantries can be undone after the fact of the ‘obama 4 years in the making failure’ with sound, rational thought consonant with reality. F**k wobama, f**k the niggers and their self-loathing buddies! Want to blame someone, blame wobama the unequivocal failure. Time to call a spade a spade! Time to pay the piper!

News  { Riiiiight! Sounds like a plan! After all, wobama’s gotten’ by on b***s*** and ‘special consideration’ alone, never having done anything of substance in his entire life. Indeed, even his so-called ‘auto-biographies’ are works of what appear to be ‘choom-gang’ induced fantasies which reveal a psychogenic/dissociative amnesia that works well in the continuing ‘narrative’ devoid of fact on his ‘more b*** s*** campaign trail’ littered with the cowpies of stark reality. People owe themselves and their children more than this grifter’s con which in numbers measures more than the increased deficits of all the presidents since President General Eisenhower combined to obfuscate his unequivocal failure. http://albertpeia.com/10waysobamakillingjobsinamerica.htm    }  Obama Asks People Getting Married To Forgo Gifts...
Donate To His Campaign Instead...
[ Wobama is so pathetic! Sure, sacrifice for the grifter wobamas so they can continue livin’ large on the taxpayer dime while accomplishing nothing except greater public debt to hide his failure. This from the record holder for fundraisers, 151 and counting. Then there’s the 100 plus rounds of golf in addition to being famously over-vacationed while in office. It’s laughable to hear him blame congress for his lack of accomplishments when the reality is that he ‘really wasn’t there’ for any of it. For wobama the presidency is just endless debate, rhetoric, campaigning, vacationing, soundbites from the teleprompted speeches, jive-talk, b***s***, and ‘choom fantasy’. He’s a total fraud and failure and anyone who buys into election-year desperation / promises, etc., is just a fool of the worst kind!     For those who put their trust in proven failure wobama, all they have to show for such misplaced trust are broken campaign promises, now insurmountable record deficit spending exceeding all the presidents since Eisenhower combined to obfuscate what clearly has been wobama’s unequivocal failure. ]

Barack Obama has been President for 30 months—2-1/2 years. He spent the first year obsessed with passing Obamacare, a program that doesn’t create jobs, but might destroy a lot of them.  He “bailed out” GM, but many believe that his interference didn’t save GM; it merely cost taxpayers an extra $15-20 billion, and stole from legitimate investors to buy off the UAW.  His broken campaign promises are too numerous to list…’).

Speaking of niggers, if wobama is given the opportunity as he has thus far, he’ll tread the same path as fellow nigger mugabe. } … Zimbabweans are facing bleak holidays this year amid rising poverty, food and cash shortages and political uncertainty, with some describing it as the worst since the formation of the coalition government in the southern African nation.... Banks have closed, ATMs have run out of cash and transport services have been paralyzed." It gets worse: "Zimbabwe's unemployment is pegged at around 80 percent with many people in Harare, the capital, eking out a living by selling vegetables and fruits on street corners." And all of this is after the massive economic imbalances in Zimbabwe's economy should have been "fixed" (or so conventional economic theory would have one believe) courtesy of hyperinflation, which left any savers in tatters, destroyed the value of the old currency, benefited solely debtors  but also allowed a fresh start to a government, which could only remain in power due to a violent power grab by the democratically elected-turned-dictator Robert Mugabe.

Post-Hyperinflationary Zimbabwe Welcomes The Holidays With 80% Unemployment, Empty ATMs And Paralyzed Transport  { Just another typical nigger! Speaking of niggers, if wobama is given the opportunity as he has thus far, he’ll tread the same path as fellow nigger mugabe. }

Zimbabwe's hyperinflation, courtesy of one Gideon Gono - the brilliant man behind such grand monetary experiments as QE and its offshoots throughout the developed world - and numerous one hundred trillion dollar Zimbabwe dollar bills, may have come and gone, and the country may no longer have a functioning currency of its own, but it certainly has the aftermath of the most recent episode of modern-era monetary hyperinflation to contend with. And with the holidays here, AP provides a very bleak snapshot of what the country which currently has an 80% unemployment, has to look forward to. Zimbabweans are facing bleak holidays this year amid rising poverty, food and cash shortages and political uncertainty, with some describing it as the worst since the formation of the coalition government in the southern African nation.... Banks have closed, ATMs have run out of cash and transport services have been paralyzed." It gets worse: "Zimbabwe's unemployment is pegged at around 80 percent with many people in Harare, the capital, eking out a living by selling vegetables and fruits on street corners." And all of this is after the massive economic imbalances in Zimbabwe's economy should have been "fixed" (or so conventional economic theory would have one believe) courtesy of hyperinflation, which left any savers in tatters, destroyed the value of the old currency, benefited solely debtors  but also allowed a fresh start to a government, which could only remain in power due to a violent power grab by the democratically elected-turned-dictator Robert Mugabe.

PROJECTS HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT FOR NEXT 3 YEARS...

JIMMY HOFFA WARNS OF 'CIVIL WAR'...  { There is an exception to the hearsay rule known as a dying declaration; the rationale being that a person would not ‘go to his maker’ with a false statement/declaration to ‘taint his soul’. Interestingly, I had occasion to know a very intelligent, learned man who was indeed dying, in a death spiral if you will. A lawyer by profession, he had taken an interest in another lawyer’s history; none other than Abraham Lincoln himself. Curiously I thought at the time, though even then, some decades ago (long before the internet), I realized that you were never getting the whole, correct, true story from american media, history as written, etc.. ( I was fortunate in sixth grade to have had a great teacher, James Bresnahan, who allowed for ‘expansive’/accelerated learning in what he took the time and trouble to provide as an advanced reading group. Among the subjects was that knowledge/thinking tainting phenomena known more commonly as propaganda). After all, a long dead president; and, one who famously suffered from recurring bouts of severe depression could hardly be the object of, from my view, intense intellectual interest and scrutiny. Yet, he was fixated on what he deemed a somewhat surprising revelation; viz., from his intense study, Abe was not ‘Honest Abe’ but rather, was a thief. I was aware that in fact, Lincoln found niggers somewhat appalling and initially opposed ending slavery as well as those who favored same, viz., the abolitionists, etc. (niggers are a same old old story of lazy, unproductive, inherently very uncivilized criminal people who are fun-luvin’ for games, partying, and getting high only.  Even the incisive Shakespeare euphemistically referred to the ‘typicality’ of the inherently untrustworthy and without sense of honor, ‘noir’ [french for black]). The ultimate consummate politician (as a lawyer, Lincoln famously took a contrary position not long before saying he thought he then was right but now taking the opposite position now knew he was right … riiiiight! ‘Honest Abe’), Lincoln ultimately did, in rallying his ‘stalwarts’, back the abolitionist cause. I personally feel the people of the south were foolish in bringing vanquished niggers, sold into slavery by other niggers who vanquished them, to this already now recently blemished land. Moreover, as today, the niggers (and the abolitionist cause) had provided fodder for politics of  all sorts, including that of Lincoln. Indeed, even today, spielberg who is famous for his pro-jewish ‘politicking’/propaganda (even the first Indiana Jones movie was heavy on the Arab/Nazi transference propaganda) has found a way to make film-making pay for him and the democratic party by way of the misguided, inaccurate view of Lincoln as the anti-slavery icon he is speciously depicted as. Civil war? Hoffa, like his mob-connected, then disconnected (permanently) father is old news. The truth is that their own done them in (as was so of hoffa’s father) with NAFTA, etc., as they themselves foolishly laughed at their real would-be saviors, ie., Ross Perot, etc.. The reality is, there is literally nothing that can’t be produced better and cheaper and without paying the shake-down bribe from the teamsters et als for doing absolutely nothing (as is true with the other niggers, et als, entitlements, etc.), elsewhere. Twinkies anyone? }

20 Outrageous Examples That Show How Political Correctness Is Taking Over America

 

http://albertpeia.com/20outrageousexamplesofpoliticalcorrectness.htm

 

 

GE's Jeff Immelt: "We've Definitely Seen A Slowdown In The Fourth Quarter"

In what is likely the fist major under the radar profit warning of the current quarter, GE chief, and Obama Job Tzar, Jeff Immelt warned during GE's annual outlook meeting held earlier in Manhattan that the "economic uncertainty" in the current quarter has resulted in an investment "pause" that has resulted in a slowdown of corporate sales. Put into numbers, GE is now calling for about 8% growth this year, from a 10% forecast barely two months ago. Read: Q4 sales, and thus earnings, are set to be a major disappointment. And while no superstorms were blamed in this particular sales warning, the fiscal cliff did feature prominently. As the WSJ reports, "[Immelt] said ongoing jitters over the so-called "fiscal cliff" of tax increases and government spending cuts contributed to the trend." Then again, it is just as likely that the tapped out US consumer, whose savings rate is tumbling, whose real disposable income is now declining on a year over year basis, and whose real wage growth is decidedly negative, would be tapped out even if Obama and Boehner were not playing constant cat and mouse. But whatever the reason for the slowdown may be, one thing is certain: "Clearly, there has been an investment pause in certain industries," Mr. Immelt said. "We've definitely seen a slowdown in the fourth quarter." Bring on the spin brigade.

State Communism's Newest (public) Advocate: Jeff Immelt Posted by: CrownThomas  Post date: 12/17/2012 - "the one thing that actually works, you know, state run communism may not be your cup of tea, but their government works. They have five-year plans"  { Riiiiight, jeff … their government works for … their government … everyone’s equal, but some, ie., 1 party members, are more equal than others; which, is essentially what we have anyway with our faux 2-party system (no real difference, actually; indeed, ie., the contraindicated, inflationary QE is a welfare program for the wealthy frauds on wall street and paid for by everyone for their benefit and party members among others in Washington, primarily). Actually, GE has been a ‘connected government enterprise’ for quite some time. Indeed, as a point of fact, I drove down to D.C. for what was to be my first patent filing some decades ago. No sooner had I entered ‘Washington, D.C. proper’, I was stopped on the highway by (I think) Washington, D.C. police. After they checked, ran my ID, license, etc.., they said follow us … so I did. Then, after parking, walking toward the ‘patent building/address’, I was approached by a man who identified himself as a GE employee who asked (he probably already knew) where I was going and volunteered to show me the way (which he did). The veiled message was clear (previous times I had gone to D.C. on business, ie., Williams & Connolly firm, Acacia Life Insurance Co., and flown, and had no such similar experience).  Guest Post: The Audacity of Bonuses At MF GlobalIn the spirit of George Orwell’s Animal Farm commandment: “all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal then others” comes the galling news that bankruptcy trustee, Louis Freeh, could approve the defunct, MF Global to pay bonuses to certain senior executives. This, despite the fact that nearly $1.6 billion of customer funds remains “missing” or otherwise partially accounted for, yet beyond the reach of those customers, perhaps forever, since before the firm declared bankruptcy on October 31, 2011...  ,  Nelson Mandela 'proven' to be a member of the Communist Party Telegraph.co.uk For decades, it was one of the enduring disputes of South Africa's anti-apartheid struggle.  { The failed system of communism.

Newtown, CT Elementary School Shooting Tally Rises To 27 Dead, Of Whom 20 Children - Live Video

Update 3: Adam had Aseprger Syndrome - a high functioning form of autism. In other words, watch as the debate rages over the traditional bogeyman of gun control, in a country with over three hundred million weapons, when we may well simply be talking about a mentally ill young adult.

Update 2 : NY Post now refuting CNN's initial report, and stating that the shooter's real name is Adam Lanza, not Ryan Lanza, who is instead brother of the latter. At this point there appears to be a ridiculous amount of confusion who did what, so it perhaps would be prudent on behalf of the authorities to double check this information before releasing it to the media.

Update: According to CNN the shooter's name is Ryan Lanza, out of New Jersey. Based on a White Pages reverse lookup there is an 18-24 year old Ryan Lanza living in Hoboken, NJ whose FaceBook profile lists Newtown, CT as his home city. Whether it is the same person remains to be confirmed officially.

Sadly, increasingly it appears that not a day, and certainly not a week can pass, in the US without news of some mass killing somewhere. Several days ago its was a mall in Oregon, and today it is a shooting rampage at the Sandy Hook Elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut. Here is what is known: the shooter, who CBS reports is a 20 year old from New Jersey, is reported to be dead. According to CBS 27 people are dead, of whom 18, Connecticut Post 27 people are dead, of whom 27 tragically, children. Among the dead are the principal and the school psychologist. The AP has already dubbed it "the worst school tragedy in American history."  { 20 children, 7 others dead in school shooting  Marketwatch  { From the previous day, pre-shooting I posted :  Dont Let Your Child See a Psychiatrist.  Jon Rappoport  { In light of his expressed fear, psychologists cant prescribe medication though thats changed somewhat in some states.

Interestingly, I had occasion to know a very intelligent, learned man who was indeed dying, in a death spiral if you will. A lawyer by profession, he had taken an interest in another lawyer’s history; none other than Abraham Lincoln himself. Curiously I thought at the time, though even then, some decades ago (long before the internet), I realized that you were never getting the whole, correct, true story from american media, history as written, etc.. ( I was fortunate in sixth grade to have had a great teacher, James Bresnahan, who allowed for ‘expansive’/accelerated learning in what he took the time and trouble to provide as an advanced reading group. Among the subjects was that knowledge/thinking tainting phenomena known more commonly as propaganda). After all, a long dead president; and, one who famously suffered from recurring bouts of severe depression could hardly be the object of, from my view, intense intellectual interest and scrutiny. Yet, he was fixated on what he deemed a somewhat surprising revelation; viz., from his intense study, Abe was not ‘Honest Abe’ but rather, was a thief. I was aware that in fact, Lincoln found niggers somewhat appalling and initially opposed ending slavery as well as those who favored same, viz., the abolitionists, etc. (niggers are a same old old story of lazy, unproductive, inherently very uncivilized criminal people who are fun-luvin’ for games, partying, and getting high only.  Even the incisive Shakespeare euphemistically referred to the ‘typicality’ of the inherently untrustworthy and without sense of honor, ‘noir’ [french for black]). The ultimate consummate politician (as a lawyer, Lincoln famously took a contrary position not long before saying he thought he then was right but now taking the opposite position now knew he was right … riiiiight! ‘Honest Abe’), Lincoln ultimately did, in rallying his ‘stalwarts’, back the abolitionist cause. I personally feel the people of the south were foolish in bringing vanquished niggers, sold into slavery by other niggers who vanquished them, to this already now recently blemished land. Moreover, as today, the niggers (and the abolitionist cause) had provided fodder for politics of  all sorts, including that of Lincoln. Indeed, even today, spielberg who is famous for his pro-jewish ‘politicking’/propaganda (even the first Indiana Jones movie was heavy on the Arab/Nazi transference propaganda) has found a way to make film-making pay for him and the democratic party by way of the misguided, inaccurate view of Lincoln as the anti-slavery icon he is speciously depicted as. Civil war? Hoffa, like his mob-connected, then disconnected (permanently) father is old news. The truth is that their own done them in (as was so of hoffa’s father) with NAFTA, etc., as they themselves foolishly laughed at their real would-be saviors, ie., Ross Perot, etc..

"Trenton Makes, The Mayor Takes" Mack Indicted On Corruption Charges

Just a few months back we noted the FBI's arrest of Tony Mack, the Mayor of New Jersey's salubrious capital Trenton. Today, via AP, the mayor and his brother have been indicted on eight counts of extortion, bribery, and mail and wire fraud. The Mayor has continued in his position - even since the September arrest - but the  federal indictment relates to an alleged scheme to accept $119,000 in bribes in exchange for his influence in the development of a garage on city-owned land. Shocked? not so much; but it seems maybe "Trenton Makes, The Mayor Takes" is more appropriate.

 

 

The 11 "Death Spiral" States   http://albertpeia.com/deathspiralstates.htm

Eleven states made Forbes' list of danger spots for investors including California, New York, Illinois, and Ohio. They warned (and with the cliff it is even more critical), if you have muni bonds in these states - clean up your portfolio; if your career takes you there - rent, don't buy! Two factors determine their list of 'fiscal hellholes'. The first is whether there are more takers (someone who draws money from the government) than makers (the gainfully employed). The second is a state credit-worthiness score (via Conning) based on large debts, uncompetitive business climates, weak home prices, and bad trends in employment. Conning rates North Dakota the safest state to lend money to, Connecticut the most hazardous. A state qualifies for the Forbes' death spiral list if its taker/maker ratio exceeds 1.0 and it resides in the bottom half of Conning’s ranking. See below for the 11 states to avoid...no matter what Bob Toll, Larry Yun, Bob Pisani, or Alexandra Lebenthal tells you..

 

Worst-run states

New Jersey

Between 2010 and 2011, New Jersey’s GDP contracted by 0.5% — more than all but three states. The state’s median household income and poverty rate both ranked third in the nation. On the other hand, the state’s tax burden on its residents was second highest in the U.S. in 2010. Residents paid 12.4% of their income in state and local taxes — higher than any other state except neighboring New York. The state has budget problems, as well, according to the 24/7 Wall St. analysis. New Jersey’s debt as a percentage of revenue was 91.6%, the fifth-highest of all states.

 

 

 

Jimmy Hoffa Warns Of "Civil War" As Michigan Governor Signs "Right-To-Work" Into Law

Minutes before Michigan Governor Snyder signed the 'Right-To-Work' bill into law, Teamster leader Jimmy Hoffa appeared on CNN,as seen in the clip below, warning that: "This is just the first round of a battle that's going to divide this state. We're going to have a civil war," as the bill to weaken unions' power is passed.

U.S. Army Starts Targeting Children Posted by : George Washington Post date: 12/11/2012 - American Military Starts Assassinating Children  Obama and the American military label all young men – between the ages of say 15 and 35 - who happen to be in battle zones as suspected insurgents who they can target and kill. Under the Bush administration, children were tortured. Now, the U.S. military is starting to target children for assassination in battle zones. As the Nation reports: In a despicable article in Military Times, the US military says that children are legitimate targets in the war in Afghanistan … War crimes?  It would appear so. But the U.S. government exempts its own acts from the definition of terrorism, even as it labels others as terrorists for doing the exact same things.

Well, close enough, but no cigar. After all, chimpanzees share a 98% identical DNA profile with modern humans; and, niggers share 99% (hence, that familiar simian look of the nigger. Interestingly, I must confess that I’ve more recently particularly, developed a well-founded aversion for and antipathy towards chimps, gorillas, oranguatangs and monkeys owing to the fact that they remind me of niggers!

Dianne Feinstein: No need to debate Republican opponent... { Riiiight! Things are going so swimmingly (as in drowning) for the nation and california particularly. Actually, I responded to a ‘generic’ email / facebook request from her with my subsequent request that she help to elicit a formal response from the FBI as promised regarding the RICO matters (the other incompetent, failed perrenial senator barbara boxer actually had ‘made her presence known’ in the corrupted process regarding usdcj matz/lester and the default of the u.s. which missed the filing date which error was compounded by the misstatement of the rule in court on the record by asst. us attorney robert i. lester); but, no response... http://albertpeia.com/selfdefense.htm   [ One thing is certain from my own direct experience { The unfortunate reality is what I’ve alluded to in the context of my own direct experience; viz., america’s ‘legal system’ is an illegal system used to cover-up crimes, arbitrarily enforce laws to apply pressure, etc., and essentially run by the inmates of this collective criminal entity called america: http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       
http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm      http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm   }   ; despite enormous amounts of taxpayer money poured into the ‘federal system’, there’s relatively/proportionately very little real significant results (an example would be the brutalizing of Martha Stewart over a $45 thousand transaction while wall street frauds in the trillions by the biggest players have gone unprosecuted). I believe reasonable diligence requires self-reliance more than ever before in this nation’s history; particularly when political correctness in some states prevents calling a spade a spade to the substantial detriment of law enforcement! ]

11-5-11 Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. 43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

Sincerely,

Albert L. Peia

America also leads in the illegal drug trade.  In fact, many researchers reveal that the war on drugs is only utilized to control and monopolize the illicit drug trade.  The US government has been caught multiple times shipping in cocaine [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvbdiWgwsA , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQNSoOX-dcw&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG1Id2qpSOE&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEUhpxeuP4&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyM43Sw2OVc&feature=related ] , colluding with certain cartels [ http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/08/does_mexican_drug_cartel_have_deal_with_us_government.html ] to control the industry, and now openly protects and transports opium from Afghanistan [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElEciFI0Pew ] .  In fact, Global Research points out that in 2001, “according to UN figures, opium production had fallen to 185 tons. Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [ http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world ] ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

,  Guest Post: The West Has Just Become A Giant Banana Republic  Legal precedent means nothing. Rule of law means nothing. Free speech means nothing. Their own treaties mean nothing. Its unbelievable. Anyone in the west who honestly thinks hes still living in a free society is either a fool or completely out of touch. If that seems too radical an idea, consider that ECUADOR is now the only nation which stands to defend freedom and human rights against an assault from the United States, the United Kingdom, and their spineless allies. The west has just become a giant banana republic. Have you hit your breaking point yet? If not now when?  { { Im really constrained to interject my own direct experience with the FBI here; and, I must say I do so lamentably. If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the tough questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal drug ops (opsriiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You cant make this stuff up. I also dont believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. Im beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the federal (judicial) system who share the same employer; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared more fairly with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:  Debauchery: An American specialty In the land of Lindsay Lohan and Snooki, some federal workers reflect our culture all too well. (Washington Post) [ Lindsay Lohan? Come on Mr. Milbank, hands off the low hanging fruit. Shes totally harmless. Jersey italian snooki? In mob infested new jersey, who knows (one of the properties in my proceedings for which surplus funds are unaccounted for was a top floor balconied 2 bedroom 1 and 1/2 bath condominium (beach/boardwalk front w/indoor pool/sauna) in seaside heights, n.j. 10-31-12 Post Sandy: Im wondering if its still there. ). But debauchery an american specialty? Another rare instance wherein I agree with Mr. Milbank completely. 25 Signs That America Is A Seething Cesspool Of Filth And Corruption http://albertpeia.com/25signsamericacesspooloffilthcrimeandcorruption.htm . Review of flawed forensics held close to vest EXCLUSIVE | Documents and interviews show FBI and Justice Department officials took steps to control information uncovered by a task force designed to examine cases involving discredited agents. Many defendants were never notified of flaws in cases. Simply unconscionable (Washington Post) [ Well, I really have to say this. Im awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ) . Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed the level and extent of corruption and criminality within the ranks of the u.s. government before embarking upon this costly quest for justice and simple fairness consistent with clear law (infra, regarding the u.s. governments direct involvement in the illegal drug trade). In this civil RICO matter, there are no innocent bystanders; but rather, perpetrators, accomplices, and co-conspirators. When the fbi agent initially assigned to this matter (Connecticut) abruptly resigned/retired shortly after a conversation, though not central to my case, wherein I had said that rudy giulianis father had been an (convicted) enforcer for the mob (served 12 years? in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter?) and then sent him documentation owing to his disbelief. Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard. I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agents departure who somewhat plaintively (my call being a burden) told me that he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari, which he didnt explain further. Could anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jerseys FBI office, I was greeted by an FBI Agent who sarcastically asked me whether I was going to the disco that night (the documents including sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alitos office in the same building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   . We all can infer sam alitos reward / quid pro quo for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme court.  There was never a question as to maryanne trump barrys interest in corrupting the judicial process as related to her brothers (trump) casinos. Jersey city boy louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klayman as the most corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly holders impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvds sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference. Im currently being stonewalled by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI Agent Bill Lewis.

Indeed, even his so-called ‘auto-biographies’ are works of what appear to be ‘choom-gang’ induced fantasies which reveal a psychogenic/dissociative amnesia that works well in the continuing ‘narrative’ devoid of fact on his ‘more b*** s*** campaign trail’ littered with the cowpies of stark reality.

Violent crime rises sharply...6:53PM EDT October 17. 2012 - WASHINGTON — The violent crime rate went up 17% last year, ending a general decline in violence that began nearly 20 years ago, according to a new federal survey of crime victims.The Justice Department's National Crime Victimization Survey also found an 11% increase in the rate of property crimes, including household burglaries and car theft.’ { Come on! Perenially understated, these understated crime numbers don’t even take into account ‘protected/unprosecuted’ wall street frauds/crimes in the trillions. And, how about those fed paper bucks that ‘fell off the fed trucks’ even just recently; kind of like those 360 tons of $100 bills ($12 billion) flown into Iraq that just ‘disappeared into thin air, etc.. }

New Threats to Riot if Obama Loses Election...  [ The threats alone are a reason sufficient for backing President Romney. If left unchecked, the nigger terrorists will be even further emboldened to their already egregious criminal, terroristic ways. No man, woman, or child will be safe if the lethal black cancer grows. The 4 years of O have been complete, utter failure and no amount of wobama b***s*** and nigger intimidation can change that fact! Quite simply, niggers are inherently criminal terrorists: Examples of what people are saying include the following;

If obama dont get re-elected & romney wins .. on life every white persons getting pistol whipped and im startin a riot. (SOURCE)

If Obama dont win lets start a riot so Romney know what hes getting himself into. (SOURCE)

You know you aint shit if you gotta MAKE Mafukas vote for ROMNEY ! . Mannnn OBAMA better get back in office . Or BLACK FOLKS will riot. (SOURCE)

If Romney wins im goin on a rampage. (SOURCE)

If Mitt Romney wins the election I think its our duties as Black folks to riot and fuck shit up. (SOURCE)

If every action IS met with an equal and opposite reaction ..what should workers do to employers if Romneys elected? #Riot in the streets!! (SOURCE)

If Romney becomes president lets all start a riot. (SOURCE)

Boy writes letter to editor after shelter kills cat...
'Grown-ups killed my kitty'... To the editor: My name is Rayden. I am 8 years old and I live in Logan. Yesterday grown-ups killed my kitty, my best friend, when they werent supposed to. Because I really dont know how to write, my PaPa is writing down the things I think and say. My kittys name is Toothless. When I got him I had just seen How to Train a Dragon at the movies. My kitty looked just like the dragon Toothless with big green eyes and the hair around his head. Toothless, my cat, has long fluffy hair and sleeps on my bed and loved to play with my brother and me. Toothless would let us carry him around all the time. He was our best friend. Last week he didnt come in at night. Sometimes he does that, but this time he didnt come back. After two days my little brother Devin, who is 5, and I went to every house on our street and asked everyone if they had seen Toothless our cat. Everyone said no. We were worried and scared something was wrong. On Wednesday after work my dad went to the animal shelter as it was closing. They didnt want to let him in, but they did. He asked if there was a cat with long black fluffy hair there. They let my dad in to look at the cages, and there was Toothless! He was curled up laying in the back of the cage very scared. When my dad made his funny meow sound that he does to make him come home, Toothless jumped up and came to the screen and rubbed up against it and was so happy to see my dad, and he wasnt scared anymore. My dad wanted to take him home, but they said he had to go to another office building and pay a fee. The lady at the shelter said it would be OK and told him to come back the next day and we could get Toothless. When my dad came home and told my little brother and me he found Toothless we were so happy and we werent scarred or worried anymore. My dad went back the next day to get our kitty and they told him they didnt have any long-haired black cats. They only had a white fluffy cat. My dad waited a long time for the lady to come back and talk to him. The same lady that told my dad to come back the next day said she was sorry. She had forgotten to leave a note to tell the people my dad would be there for Toothless and they had just killed my cat that morning. She had just forgotten to write a note to save a member of my family. They killed him and I dont know why. My dad found out where he had been picked up and it was our neighbors down the street that dont like cats and dogs. They had caught him in a trap and gave him to the police to take him away. When Devin and I knocked on their door and asked if they had seen Toothless they told us no, and that was a lie. My dad and mom tell me and Devin not to lie and that is right. I didnt think big people lied because they are grown ups and know what is right. Now I dont know what to do. My cat Toothless is dead; the people that killed him didnt even give him to my dad so we could bury him. What do I do now? Rayden Sazama Logan  Editors note: Cache Humane Society Director Brenda Smith confirmed Raydens story that an animal shelter worker forgot to leave a note to halt euthanization of the Sazamas cat.  { The shelter/city should be sued and the employees involved should be fired for cause! }

Indeed, among the rarest breed historically of exceptional american CEO’s, Welch points to the folly of preposterously a month before elections, on paltry/pathetic jobs numbers ( election year temp/part-time for manipulating stats along with the nebulous ‘stopped looking’ fudge factor) , following a disasterous debate showing (of wobama failure and incompetence), the unemployment rate falls to just below the ‘superstitious’ 8.0. If you’re a fool, you’ll buy into what is tantamount to the obama 100% employment fantasy where literally everyone but him has stopped looking for work and hence, not counted in compiling the unemployment rate (and then those jobs in the millions lost and gone forever on his watch - what a banana republic!). Come on, wake up!: JACK WELCH: OBAMA IS MANIPULATING THE JOBS NUMBERS BECAUSE HIS DEBATE PERFORMANCE WAS AWFUL…UNBELIEVABLE JOBS NUMBERS…THESE CHICAGO GUYS WILL DO ANYTHING…CAN’T DEBATE SO CHANGE NUMBERS. }

PAPER: 'THE OBAMA YOU DON'T KNOW'...‘…
But beyond the spin and the polls, a starkly different picture emerges. It is a portrait of a man quite unlike his image, not a visionary reformer but rather a classic Chicago machine pol who thrives on rewarding himself and his friends with the spoils of public office, and who uses his position to punish his enemies. Peter Schweizer captures this other Obama with a bracing statistic in his book "Throw Them All Out," published last year. In the Obama economic stimulus program's Department of Energy loans, companies owned and run by Obama contributors and friends, like Solyndra's George Kaiser, received $16.4 billion. Those not linked to the president got only $4.1 billion. The Energy Department is far from the only federal program in which favoritism has heavily influenced federal grants. To paraphrase Tammany Hall's George Washington Plunkitt, Obama has seen his opportunities and taken them, over and over. - Mark Tapscott / Executive Editor

ELECTION MANIPULATION: NEW PUMPING BEGINS!!  { This is an especially great opportunity to sell this suckers’ market/take profits! Nothing’s been solved! Just because ‘no-recession-helicopter-ben’ says something, does not mean it’s true (remember that ‘no recession call’ of his; and, of course, no QE before the election, prospectively, already discounted many times over by the ‘markets, such as they are, ie., algo buy programs, etc.. ).  All this and now ‘whatever’ is too little and too late for the uss Titanic which has taken on too much, not water, but b***s***. This was a desperate move, bespeaking desperation.The fact is things are ominously so bad, and worse than ‘allowed’ to be seen for the moment, that something as this QE which is economically and financially contraindicated and a proven failure for all but the frauds on wall street along with their cohorts including desperate politicos, is resorted to in desperation to divert attention from their unequivocal failure. After all, though having cost so many americans their jobs with wrong calls and policies, bernanke is trying to save his own by inflating the markets (along with everything else, ultimately hyperinflationary)  for fellow failure wobama’s sake (wobama rehired failure bernanke, President Romney would have fired, and will fire him … goldman sachs knew this dollar debasing failed policy QE 3 would come and at the expense of the muppets…that’s their term for all you suckers). I further believe this contraindicated largess to the frauds on wall street is to preserve his post fedship tenure job possibilities by ingratiating himself even further with those nefarious, self-serving interest groups. }

The niggerized DOJ under holder/obama similarly finds ways to rationalize not prosecuting as promised; ie., biggest frauds on wall street, mfglobal/jon corzine, defense of and protection for black panthers, etc.. How can people wonder why this nation’s crumbling? }

ROMNEY: 'Forwarned' is better than 'forward''...  { Sampling some of the network talking head roundtables over the weekend I was astounded how many wobamanoid apologists talked up the dismal, paltry private jobs, many part-time or low-pay, without mention of the record insurmountable $5 trillion increase in the deficit to create them for the purpose of obfuscating wobama’s blatantly failed performance as potus. Such people, either so partisan, so unschooled in the relevant disciplines, so ill-prepared for the journalistic task entrusted to them, literally have no defendable place in the field of real journalism and are an embarrassment to all that journalism purports to be. }

Yet, it cannot be denied that nobody, no news organization, not even a government agency did their homework in vetting this complete and utter fraud called ‘barack obama’! } ‘…After a couple of nights at the Time Warner Cable Arena, the convention was to have closed with President Obama’s acceptance speech at the Bank of America Stadium, where convention officials were planning to squeeze nearly 6,000 seats onto the field to expand the stadium’s capacity beyond its usual 74,000. But the speedway event was canceled — ostensibly because of logistical problems but more likely because convention fundraising was running low. Then the Democrats canceled the stadium event in favor of the smaller arena — ostensibly because of “severe thunderstorm” concerns but more likely because they couldn’t be sure enough people would come to fill the stadium.In fact, the forecast hadn’t called for severe weather, and conditions were fine Thursday night. The change caused thousands to be turned away, and the crush of crowds at the arena led authorities at one point to lock down the building for a second straight night – leaving some delegates on the street while lobbyists enjoyed the proceedings inside…’

Did wobama expect that these things would in choom fashion magically come to fruition while he was ‘workin on his tan’, golf swing, or shootin’ hoops on the taxpayer dime? http://albertpeia.com/wobamaschoomgangfantasy.htm 

The point is that you don’t have to love Romney but you at least have to like yourself in saying ‘NO!’ to more wobama b***s*** which is all that he is. Have some self-respect. His grade is unequivocally ‘F’ for failure, having failed to do as promised which coincidentally is a direct cause among others of this debacle called america’s dark obama years.

New Black Panthers to RNC: Our 'Feet Will Be On Your Motherf***ing Necks'{ Listen to these uncivilized, dumb niggers! This is typical nigger talk and predisposition to criminal action/violence! How can whites et als self-destructively embrace the niggers? Niggers are beasts of burden and burdens wherever they are. There are few physical tasks they do well and even fewer of said available tasks relative to their populations to make a difference. They are a near complete washout in non-physical tasks, are too costly and are bad workers, unproductive generally to employ and not worth the enormous cost and trouble. The very scant few exceptions are statistically insignificant. Niggers belong in jails where they can commit no crimes in general society; plus there’s the savings thereby on their invariably wasted welfare, programs in addition to their predisposed crimes on the outside…It is far cheaper to jail them which is best for civilized society (look at their off the charts crime rates, and that’s only those that are caught! They’ve literally destroyed cities as is so wherever they are in concentrated numbers. These are indisputable facts/truths that civilized societies/governments can no longer afford to deny.) } ...

Dreams also related the tale of Obama's paternal grandfather, Hussein Onyango, who was said to have been detained and tortured in a prison outside Nairobi for six months because of his brave defiance of British colonialists. But after a half-dozen interviews and other research, Maraniss deemed the tale "unlikely."

So true in fact, that wobama will come to be compared to Pyrrhus of Ephyrus (W. Greece) since realization of what this legislation won’t do for americans and the economy and what it actually does will not have the galvanizing effect that striking the bill down would have had on voters who were thinking ‘another free lunch from the government’ will save them (we all now know better, no such thing). Yes, in somewhat European tradition, defacto bankrupt america is keeping up with the (ie., rating agencies Egan) Joneses. After all, we all know how well this European program model is working out for Europe (and any other nation that’s tried it). In the final analysis, this and such programs as the contraindicated bailouts for the unprosecuted frauds on wall street, etc., will prove to be the ‘camel-back breaking’ moment for america; and, a pyrrhic victory for the egregiously failed president wobama.  America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke. There are signs everywhere one looks…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion }

{ Wobama is so pathetic! Sure, sacrifice for the grifter wobamas so they can continue livin’ large on the taxpayer dime while accomplishing nothing except greater public debt to hide his failure. This from the record holder for fundraisers, 151 and counting. Then there’s the 100 plus rounds of golf in addition to being famously over-vacationed while in office. It’s laughable to hear him blame congress for his lack of accomplishments when the reality is that he ‘really wasn’t there’ for any of it. For wobama the presidency is just endless debate, rhetoric, campaigning, vacationing, soundbites from the teleprompted speeches, jive-talk, b***s***, and ‘choom fantasy’. He’s a total fraud and failure and anyone who buys into election-year desperation / promises, etc., is just a fool of the worst kind!   AP: ‘…
THE FACTS: Five Senate Democrats voted against sending the DREAM Act to the Senate floor for full consideration. The bill would have created a path to citizenship for many young illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children. Last week, Obama announced plans to stop deporting illegal immigrants who would have qualified for the DREAM Act. The policy change does not include a path to citizenship…’ Then there’s the other meretricious ‘wobama desperation hail mary’ that once again falls short. Indeed, as an investor, one analyzes earnings, projects prospective earnings over a 3-5 year horizon, and the quality of the earnings along macro economic factors which are affected by ‘political considerations’. Does anyone remember the honorable Ross Perot who warned of NAFTA’s effect on american jobs even as the democrat administration et als were hell-bent on passing same? Should Romney have breached his legal duty to shareholders and invested in companies with poor earnings prospects? After all, in the financial / security analysis step of projecting the income statement, prospective labor costs figure prominently in the bottomline. In sum, Romney took conditions as he found them, and made the prudent choices which as per his legal duty were optimal for those who put their trust in him. For those who put their trust in proven failure wobama, all they have to show for such misplaced trust are broken campaign promises, now insurmountable record deficit spending exceeding all the presidents since Eisenhower combined to obfuscate what clearly has been wobama’s unequivocal failure.  }

SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

And, not just whites; viz., Asians, Hispanics, real American Indians,  etc., and most feral beasts except dogs are better than blacks who are at best their equals, though some dog owners/lovers may dispute that. Niggers are a scourge on civilized society wherever they are. Just look around, worldwide, wherever they are, in concentrations particularly; it’s the same nigger story. That’s the way they are. That’s what they are. They are a blight on any neighborhood. They are a blight on any society and an insurmountable burden. They bring any society down. Some will argue, how ‘bout sports?, to which one may reply, ie., just because you go to horse races, doesn’t mean you want to live with horses, or, just because you have monkeys in zoos doesn’t mean you want to live with them, etc., much less cede control and affect over society to them.  ] '

Suspended THREE times for drugs, truancy and graffiti and 'caught carrying a burglary tool': New picture emerges of Trayvon Martin (and did he attack a bus driver too?)

·        Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times in the months before he was shot dead by a neighborhood watchman, it emerged today.

·        The facts, revealed in a leaked report, paint a different picture of a teenager who frequently found himself in trouble with authorities.

·        It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that it is claimed belonged to the teen.

The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a 'burglary tool' - a flathead screwdriver - and 12 pieces of women's jewellery. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.

The other major crimes they do anyway. It’s their nature. You’ll never change the nigger … they evolved only to ‘a point’ and no further.  ] Fairgoers 'pulled out of cars'... 'They were just going after white people'...  Heightened security...  [ I refrained from using the ‘n word’ (or even blacks / negroes) in referring to the culprits in the following two incidents (those tender sensibilities) but I’m sure you’ve guessed that they were niggers and I include same here in light of the foregoing incident (and yes, the victims were white), which is typical. ‘.. while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a “park” - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA’s position with both felonies ( he went to prison – pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of ‘bystander effect’ / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal  / nigger after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal / nigger went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 niggers and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA. But, to be fair and balanced, the RICO litigation involves those uncivilized who consider themselves ‘whites’ http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf  (predominantly but not exclusively jews / romans-italians / mobsters / government slugs). ]

Miami Heat Players Don Hoodies...
'Dead or Alive' Poster Issued by New Black Panther Party... [ ‘Minority Report’ Division of Pre-Crime, Pre-Cogs say, ‘Dead or Alive – all niggers’ … whatever the outcome in the investigative process, the stark reality is that at least, unlike the niggers committing many more ‘black on white’ violent crimes,  Zimmerman (and this is no endorsement – I won’t be looking at this one incident all that closely) was at least trying to do a good thing made necessary by the ever increasing number of brutal crimes committed by the black thugs in neighborhoods across the nation; then there’s somalian pirates, etc.. People domestically and internationally are suffering from nigger-fatigue and are totally niggered out. Oh, yeah, there are some Hollywood types who feel good about themselves having niggers around and helping niggers to help them feel better than they really are, insecure as they are, by being better than at least someone beyond fantasy. Loony george clooney is one. Dreadfully boring and with that monotone, monotonous voice and not that bright, he’s not even able to fake it on screen as an action hero (ie., batman, what a horrific miscast) wimpy pussy in reality that he is; then there’s the ‘black (sean) penn’ who cried like a baby while incarcerated for a couple of days not that long ago. The atheist jolie, so fatherly troubled as she is, has let the equally mentally troubled pitt (she so nutty she makes him feel somewhat sane though still not too bright) and pendulum ‘backwoods bob’ be the closest she’s gotten to her black projects. Let them live anonomously (in disguise) with the niggers for some time for a real close look and then see what’s left of their predisposed love for the nigger. Then there’s the italian scallion, booby deniro; drug addled as his black wife high-tower, what a total embarrassment to Italians everywhere; even as he tried to ingratiate himself recently with niggers everywhere and particularly national embarrassment mammy michele with the embarrassing pro-nigger first lady remark..   [ Send the niggers back to sub-saharan Africa! ]

Can you imagine the number of blacks that would have to be retaliated against based upon the hushed reality of the prevalence of black on white crime? The blacks should be careful what they wish for in playing that game because the facts don’t break in their favor. ] ...

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

The reality is that blacks are an insoluble problem wherever they are.

This looked great didnt it? But it wasnt. And, algos dont look too far under the hood at details but those were awful. The largest gain was in retail (part time holiday workers) followed by Hospitality and Leisure and Waste Services (Sandy?) while Construction jobs lost 20K. More importantly, the labor participation rate (only 63.6%) declined again as the number of people out of the work force increased by a stunning 540K people. In the end, more than 200K workers stopped looking for work.

"Trenton Makes, The Mayor Takes" Mack Indicted On Corruption Charges

Just a few months back we noted the FBI's arrest of Tony Mack, the Mayor of New Jersey's salubrious capital Trenton. Today, via AP, the mayor and his brother have been indicted on eight counts of extortion, bribery, and mail and wire fraud. The Mayor has continued in his position - even since the September arrest - but the  federal indictment relates to an alleged scheme to accept $119,000 in bribes in exchange for his influence in the development of a garage on city-owned land. Shocked? not so much; but it seems maybe "Trenton Makes, The Mayor Takes" is more appropriate.

 

 

The 11 "Death Spiral" States   http://albertpeia.com/deathspiralstates.htm

Eleven states made Forbes' list of danger spots for investors including California, New York, Illinois, and Ohio. They warned (and with the cliff it is even more critical), if you have muni bonds in these states - clean up your portfolio; if your career takes you there - rent, don't buy! Two factors determine their list of 'fiscal hellholes'. The first is whether there are more takers (someone who draws money from the government) than makers (the gainfully employed). The second is a state credit-worthiness score (via Conning) based on large debts, uncompetitive business climates, weak home prices, and bad trends in employment. Conning rates North Dakota the safest state to lend money to, Connecticut the most hazardous. A state qualifies for the Forbes' death spiral list if its taker/maker ratio exceeds 1.0 and it resides in the bottom half of Conning’s ranking. See below for the 11 states to avoid...no matter what Bob Toll, Larry Yun, Bob Pisani, or Alexandra Lebenthal tells you..

 

Worst-run states

New Jersey

Between 2010 and 2011, New Jersey’s GDP contracted by 0.5% — more than all but three states. The state’s median household income and poverty rate both ranked third in the nation. On the other hand, the state’s tax burden on its residents was second highest in the U.S. in 2010. Residents paid 12.4% of their income in state and local taxes — higher than any other state except neighboring New York. The state has budget problems, as well, according to the 24/7 Wall St. analysis. New Jersey’s debt as a percentage of revenue was 91.6%, the fifth-highest of all states.

"Trenton Makes, The Mayor Takes" Mack Indicted On Corruption Charges

Just a few months back we noted the FBI's arrest of Tony Mack, the Mayor of New Jersey's salubrious capital Trenton. Today, via AP, the mayor and his brother have been indicted on eight counts of extortion, bribery, and mail and wire fraud. The Mayor has continued in his position - even since the September arrest - but the  federal indictment relates to an alleged scheme to accept $119,000 in bribes in exchange for his influence in the development of a garage on city-owned land. Shocked? not so much; but it seems maybe "Trenton Makes, The Mayor Takes" is more appropriate.

 

 

The 11 "Death Spiral" States   http://albertpeia.com/deathspiralstates.htm

Eleven states made Forbes' list of danger spots for investors including California, New York, Illinois, and Ohio. They warned (and with the cliff it is even more critical), if you have muni bonds in these states - clean up your portfolio; if your career takes you there - rent, don't buy! Two factors determine their list of 'fiscal hellholes'. The first is whether there are more takers (someone who draws money from the government) than makers (the gainfully employed). The second is a state credit-worthiness score (via Conning) based on large debts, uncompetitive business climates, weak home prices, and bad trends in employment. Conning rates North Dakota the safest state to lend money to, Connecticut the most hazardous. A state qualifies for the Forbes' death spiral list if its taker/maker ratio exceeds 1.0 and it resides in the bottom half of Conning’s ranking. See below for the 11 states to avoid...no matter what Bob Toll, Larry Yun, Bob Pisani, or Alexandra Lebenthal tells you..

 

Worst-run states

New Jersey

Between 2010 and 2011, New Jersey’s GDP contracted by 0.5% — more than all but three states. The state’s median household income and poverty rate both ranked third in the nation. On the other hand, the state’s tax burden on its residents was second highest in the U.S. in 2010. Residents paid 12.4% of their income in state and local taxes — higher than any other state except neighboring New York. The state has budget problems, as well, according to the 24/7 Wall St. analysis. New Jersey’s debt as a percentage of revenue was 91.6%, the fifth-highest of all states.

Heffernan: Microsoft is back — Why the dorky Apple rival is suddenly cool { Forget cool, when it comes to computers/computing, I’m more concerned with stability and performance. As a critic of Microsoft beyond their breakthrough Windows 2000 (professional) and Word offerings, I felt compelled to comment here. XP was a dog and deserving of  criticism (innumerable problems including acting as a ‘virus magnet’). Quite by ‘accident’, I plugged in an old apple usb mouse and my problems with vista (sic), Windows 7, literally disappeared (I then ordered a new usb mouse for right-click, scroll capability). Vista…Whoops, my mistake…I meant to say Windows 7 (not thinking there’s a difference; obviously I haven’t followed their recent past misguided exploits closely)… Windows 7 is by far and away superior to xp (and Vista) in every way. It apparently was the legacy mouse and problems created thereby (with ram, resources, cache/processor, etc.) that impaired stability and performance and I’m happy to say thus far, Windows 7 (with updates to date) is a solid successor to 2000 and microsoft’s best operating system to date (I have my fingers crossed as I said that … just kidding!). }

Robert Wiedemer: Awaiting The Aftershock

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2012-12-01/robert-wiedemer-awaiting-aftershock

The 2007 puncturing of housing market prices and the 2008 financial market swoon are the precedents to two much larger and much more dangerous bubbles. These more pernicious threats are the dollar bubble ("printing money") and the government debt bubble ("borrowing money"). While both are expanding at a sickening pace, in the near term they deceptively make things seem much better than they are. But, like all bubbles, they are unsustainable. The Fed is well-aware of this dire probability, but finds itself increasingly stuck to avoid it. The Fed's main strategic consists completely of "hope". It's backup strategy? "Panic" and thus the need to focus on preservation of purchasing power, and positioning one's financial assets safely before the aftershock arrives.

Israel moves to build 3,000 new homes The plans include future construction in a strategic area where critics warn would kill hopes for a viable Palestinian state. { The never ending story courtesy of the war mongering, illegal nuke-toting, u.n. resolutions/international law scofflaw, war crimes nation israel. } Brzezinski: US must stop following Israel “like a stupid mule” Kevin Barrett | Brzezinski has drawn an unflattering picture of US-Israel relations.  { And that goes for the politicians et als as well. Indeed, while there may have been (ie., in the past) a time that blind adherence to the pro-israeli line was a ‘political advantage’, that’s certainly no longer the case. In fact, for all Romney’s contra-indicated pro-israel babble, wobama’s jewish vote from the prior election was unchanged while Romney was hurt among other constituencies fearing a return to the moron bush neo-con/pro-israeli war mongering mindset. }  { The unfortunate reality is that while rome burns, the ne(r)o cons fiddle with unreasonable israeli obsessive preoccupations born of paranoia and irrational quest for control of people who america and clinton herself  warrant a separate state by way of the 2 state solution. The fact is, america’s problems are too large and grave for attention to israeli contrived, self-interested concerns. The reality is that pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america has neither the time nor the resources to self-destructively ‘dance the tarantella’ with israel. }

34 Signs That America Is In Decline

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com

http://albertpeia.com/34signsamericaindecline.htm

 

‘…

The following are 34 signs that America is in decline...

#1 According to the World Bank, U.S. GDP accounted for 31.8 percent of all global economic activity in 2001.  That number dropped to 21.6 percent in 2011.  That is not just a decline - that is a freefall.  Just check out the chart in this article.

#2 According to The Economist, the United States was the best place in the world to be born into back in 1988.  Today, the United States is only tied for 16th place.

#3 The United States has fallen in the global economic competitiveness rankings compiled by the World Economic Forum for four years in a row.

#4 According to the Wall Street Journal, of the 40 biggest publicly traded corporate spenders, half of them plan to reduce capital expenditures in coming months.

#5 More than three times as many new homes were sold in the United States in 2005 as will be sold in 2012.

#6 America once had the greatest manufacturing cities on the face of the earth.  Now many of our formerly great manufacturing cities have degenerated into festering hellholes.  For example, the city of Detroit is on the verge of financial collapse, and one state lawmaker is now saying that "dissolving Detroit" should be looked at as an option.

#7 In 2007, the unemployment rate for the 20 to 29 age bracket was about 6.5 percent.  Today, the unemployment rate for that same age group is about 13 percent.

#8 Back in 1950, more than 80 percent of all men in the United States had jobs.  Today, less than 65 percent of all men in the United States have jobs.

#9 If you can believe it, approximately one out of every four American workers makes 10 dollars an hour or less #10 - #34

Behind the Scenes, Germany is Already Preparing For a Grexit

November 27, 2012  http://gainspainscapital.com

 

http://albertpeia.com/germanypreparesforgrexit.htm

 

‘…This is simply not going to happen. Germany will play ball with the EU by signaling its efforts to keep things together, but the Germans have in fact been implementing a contingency plan for nearly one year now.

I broke this story in February 2012. I havent seen it mentioned anywhere else. I wrote:

Germany has put into place a contingency plan that would permit it to leave the Euro if it had to.

As a brief recap, this contingency plan consists of:

#1)    Legislation that would permit Germany to leave the Euro but remain a part of the EU.

#2)    The revival of its Special Financial Market Stabilization Funds, or SoFFin for short, to which Germany has allocated 480 billion Euros to in the case of a banking crisis (the fund will also permit German banks to dump their euro-zone government bonds if needed).

This occurred back in February. And Germany now has a formal working group assessing the cost of a Grexit? The EU is on borrowed time. I mentioned earlier this year that German tourism companies have put contingency plans for the return to the Drachma in the contracts for their Greek subsidiaries. However, now even large US-based multinationals are implementing contingency plans for a Grexit.

The list includes JP Morgan, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Visa, PricewaterhoursCoopers, Boston Consulting Group, Juniper Networks, and others.

Buckle up, things are about to get ugly.

This is why I’ve been warning that 2008 was just the warm-up. What is coming will be far far worse…’

Enjoy the Holidays, Because Next Year Will Be Horrific

November 26, 2012  http://gainspainscapital.com

 

http://albertpeia.com/horriffic2013.htm  { Indeed, it will be! }

This is going to be a very special holiday season. The reason? Its the last hurrah before things get very very ugly.

Just off the cuff, you need to know that:

1)   China, the EU, and the US (comprising over 50% of Global GDP) are in recession already. The EU has already announced this. Look for the formal announcements concerning the US and China to hit the airwaves next year.

2)   Some data points concerning these nations indicate that this recession will be on par with that of 2007-2008.

A rising tide raises all ships. Similarly, a sinking tide lowers everything. Bear this in mind as a global economic contraction will have severe implications for everything.

Beyond the global economy, we now face sovereign and banking crises in Europe…’

29 Signs That The Elite Are Transforming Society Into A Total Domination Control Grid

http://thetruthwins.com

http://albertpeia.com/dominationcontrolgrid.htm

 

{ First and foremost clarification: There are no elite on this planet. The grim reality for this planet is a dominant species descended from initially notochords, primitive chordates, and relatively more recently, primitive apes.
See generally,
http://albertpeia.com/anthroindex1.htm  , for a brief but sorrowful history of man.  }

[   12 Pictures That Demonstrate How The New World Order Openly Mocks Us http://albertpeia.com/newworldordervedgesmockus.htm  { First, let me say that the vedges of the so-called new world order are in no real position to mock anyone, so mockable as they indeed are, as the incompetent vegetables that they in fact are, who have been the very architects of ultimately their own and the planet’s decline, fall, and demise. Yet, there is no question but that the ‘masses’ so mocked, deserve to be mocked, having embraced their dismal fate at every turn; viz., their embrace of ‘political correctness’, though contraindicated, as, ie., the embrace of the violent, destructive nigger who literally would have them for dinner, or the compulsion to embrace that which the state says is right, though contraindicated, for political expedience owing to failure fed (including the incompetent missteps of the failed fed) desperation, ie., gay marriage, etc., contrived wars / conflicts, among other clearly observable, self-interested behavior of people, companies, nations, including the gargantuan bailed out frauds on wall street to everyone’s (but the frauds’) detriment, still unprosecuted. That the jive-talking, b***s*** artist/grifter/con-man obama has not been held to even one of his former now broken campaign promises and is embraced by those foolish enough to believe more of the same is testament to how deserving of mocking the masses truly are (people should be outraged and wobama should be ‘ridden out on a rail’). Make no mistake; the reality is that the ‘new world order’/so-called ‘elite’ are not elite at all; but rather, incompetent vegetables who can’t do anything right as they’ve now proven time and time again. As I previously said:

Hostess gets court approval to liquidate  Marketwatch  { Alas, adieu sweet hostess.

Jesse Jackson Jr. quits Congress...
'Couldn't stop crying, couldn't give a press conference'...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Grant, usagold.com: ‘…Fed chairman Ben Bernanke said in a speech today that the US will continue to face many headwinds to growth, but the fiscal cliff is the most immediate danger. He warned that the Fed doesn't have the tools to fully offset a drop over the fiscal cliff, which would likely push the US back into recession. He acknowledged that "the federal budget is on an unsustainable path," yet urged Congress to raise the debt ceiling in order to "avoid any possibility of a catastrophic default on the nation's Treasury securities and other obligations."…’ { Wow! Talk about being behind the curve! Hussman: the U.S. economy entered a recession during the third quarter – well before Sandy was even on the weather map.’  And, when you take into account actual, real inflation,  Financial Crisis Phase II Is Ahead at Forbes Bert Dohmen  In late 2007, I wrote the book Prelude To Meltdown, predicting the global crisis that occurred the following year.  I now see a similar confluence of events .. the new recession has started.”… Over the past 33 years, we have called the start of every recession..Currently, the GDP deflator is 1.8%, which hardly reflects the true rise in prices. Therefore, what is counted as growth, is actually price increases. Actual inflation..is now more than 11%. Using that to adjust GDP for inflation, would show that the economy is now in a very sharp contraction…’ . Pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america is such a b***s*** nation! }

U.S. stocks surge on hope for a debt deal  Marketwatch { Hopium back in a big way and bigger than ever! Come on! They’re ‘all in this together’! Of course they’ll do some kind of ‘kick the can’ deal. The reality is that the debt problem is an insurmountable problem, in large part of their making, electioneering, politicking as usual. As for those who’ve belittled Romney for stating a fact, the reality is that both parties are guilty of same (whether in the form of a tax cut/break, government contract, failure to prosecute fraud/crime, etc.) and I’m frankly surprised that Romney didn’t point to the threats of violence by the niggers, and the rampant voter fraud extant in this banana republic. As for slimy newt calling Romney nuts for his stating reality, keep in mind that the b***s*** newty has been on the receiving end of such largesse for quite some time, unable to do anything of value and hence confined to his schmooze and b***s*** paradigm which is pervasive in america, along with fraud among other crimes. This ‘rally’ is an especially great opportunity to sell/take profits since there’s much worse to come! }

What Really Happened When Lehman Failed… And Why Spain Will Be Much Worse

http://albertpeia.com/reallehmanspainworse.htm

 

Countless pages have been written about why Lehman caused the system to almost implode. However, the reality is that Lehman nearly took down the entire financial system for two reasons:

#1)   Lehmans $155 billion worth of bonds were used as collateral in hundreds of billions of Dollars worth of trades.

#2)   Lehmans 8,000 clients who were all using Lehman to make trades saw the collateral that they had placed with the firm (to backstop their portfolios) frozen…’

Guest Post: The FHA Is Blowing Up: Bad News For The Housing Market

The FHA has been the key element to the phony housing recovery the government has been trying to create.  In the wake of the collapse of 2008, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac blew up and what was left to pick up the pieces was the FHA.  No private player would issue loans with down payments of 3%, but this was no problem for the FHA! Well - yes! "The Federal Housing Administration is expected to report this week it could exhaust its reserves because of rising mortgage delinquencies" This is a big deal.  The FHA is already in trouble despite a miraculous housing recovery and we havent even hit a severe cyclical economic slowdown yet, which is almost certain to occur in 2013.  What shambles do you think the housing market will be in once that happens and the last backstop to housing is broke?

The Market Just Realized Two BIG Problems

http://albertpeia.com/2bigproblems.htm

The US Presidential election ended November 6, 2012. Since that time, the market has fallen 3%. There are a multitude of reasons for this, but the primary one is the fact that the markets is beginning to realize two key items:

1)   Everything that was a problem in the run up to the US election is still a problem (in fact many issues are now worse than they were a few months ago).

2)   Having engaged in pre-emptive and extreme actions to keep things calm in the run up to the election, the US Fed and ECB have run out of effective monetary bullets…’

Samsung Hikes Apple Component Price By 20%

Two months ago, when we commented on Apple's pyrrhic courtroom victory in which it managed to halt sales of older generation Samsung smartphones - a "victory" which would backfire with Samsung phone sales soaring, while AAPL results missed, forcing the company to accelerate its product launch cadence to a ridiculous 3 months with news that the iPhone 5s is already in the works a month after the launch of the iphone 5 -  we said "The paradox here is that AAPL's victory is quite pyrrhic: if and when Samsung feels sufficiently threatened, it can just pull a Gazprom and halt the supply of mission critical components to the world's biggest publicly traded company." Naturally, the hyperbolic all out response would mean an immediate nuclear war of attrition between the two electronics giants. Instead Samsung would be even better served to show Apple who is boss in quantized increments. Today, it has done just that, forcing Apple to swallow a 20% price increase on hundreds of millions of Samsung application processors used in iPads and iPhones. "Apple first disapproved it, but finding no replacement supplier, it accepted the (increase.)" Game, set, match Samsung.

 

The Devil You Know

Many Americans voted for the lesser of two evils and were disappointed in the result.  This must have been an emotional double whammy in the sense that not only did the guy you disliked so much that you were willing to vote for a candidate you didnt like win, but you didnt vote your conscience. What allowed Mike Krieger to do this was the complete and total recognition that under both major candidates America loses. His major issues are:

  1. The Federal Reserve scam and Wall Street theft.
  2. Civil liberties and the destruction of the Constitution.
  3. Our aggressive foreign policy and imperial wars abroad that help only the oligarchs and impoverish the masses.

The country has cancer, not a common cold, and our response therefore must be much more serious than either of these corporate candidates are willing to commit to. Unfortunately, it will get ten times worse in the coming years, and we strongly believe that 2013-2016 will be a historic period in the political transformation of the United States.  The show is over.  Its time to buckle up.

 

 

The Gini Is Out Of The Bottle: Did China "Outcapitalism" The US, Or Did America "Outcommunism" China?

 

Guest Post: America Isn't The Greatest Country Anymore

It may seem blasphemous on such an important day of remembrance to suggest that what is being protected is somehow not as worthwhile as it once was but as Street Talk Live's Lance Roberts shows America is no longer the greatest country in the world - based on numerous statistics... 7th in literacy, 27th in math, 12th in prosperity...You get the idea.  The rise of economic strength was built on the backs of hard working Americans who built stuff from skyscrapers to railroads.  We farmed, we produced and we raised families.   The pride of "built in America" was the flag that we waved. America has become a debtor nation and the cancer of debt has eroded our economic prosperity  Newsroom's Will McAvoy is right: "The first step in solving any problem is recognizing that there is one."

Dianne Feinstein: No need to debate Republican opponent... { Riiiight! Things are going so swimmingly (as in drowning) for the nation and california particularly. Actually, I responded to a ‘generic’ email / facebook request from her with my subsequent request that she help to elicit a formal response from the FBI as promised regarding the RICO matters (the other incompetent, failed perrenial senator barbara boxer actually had ‘made her presence known’ in the corrupted process regarding usdcj matz/lester and the default of the u.s. which missed the filing date which error was compounded by the misstatement of the rule in court on the record by asst. us attorney robert i. lester); but, no response... http://albertpeia.com/selfdefense.htm   [ One thing is certain from my own direct experience { The unfortunate reality is what I’ve alluded to in the context of my own direct experience; viz., america’s ‘legal system’ is an illegal system used to cover-up crimes, arbitrarily enforce laws to apply pressure, etc., and essentially run by the inmates of this collective criminal entity called america: http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       
http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm      http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm   }   ; despite enormous amounts of taxpayer money poured into the ‘federal system’, there’s relatively/proportionately very little real significant results (an example would be the brutalizing of Martha Stewart over a $45 thousand transaction while wall street frauds in the trillions by the biggest players have gone unprosecuted). I believe reasonable diligence requires self-reliance more than ever before in this nation’s history; particularly when political correctness in some states prevents calling a spade a spade to the substantial detriment of law enforcement! ]

11-5-11 Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. 43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

Sincerely,

Albert L. Peia

America also leads in the illegal drug trade.  In fact, many researchers reveal that the war on drugs is only utilized to control and monopolize the illicit drug trade.  The US government has been caught multiple times shipping in cocaine [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvbdiWgwsA , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQNSoOX-dcw&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG1Id2qpSOE&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEUhpxeuP4&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyM43Sw2OVc&feature=related ] , colluding with certain cartels [ http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/08/does_mexican_drug_cartel_have_deal_with_us_government.html ] to control the industry, and now openly protects and transports opium from Afghanistan [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElEciFI0Pew ] .  In fact, Global Research points out that in 2001, “according to UN figures, opium production had fallen to 185 tons. Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [ http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world ] ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

,  Guest Post: The West Has Just Become A Giant Banana Republic  Legal precedent means nothing. Rule of law means nothing. Free speech means nothing. Their own treaties mean nothing. Its unbelievable. Anyone in the west who honestly thinks hes still living in a free society is either a fool or completely out of touch. If that seems too radical an idea, consider that ECUADOR is now the only nation which stands to defend freedom and human rights against an assault from the United States, the United Kingdom, and their spineless allies. The west has just become a giant banana republic. Have you hit your breaking point yet? If not now when?  { { Im really constrained to interject my own direct experience with the FBI here; and, I must say I do so lamentably. If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the tough questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal drug ops (opsriiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You cant make this stuff up. I also dont believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. Im beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the federal (judicial) system who share the same employer; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared more fairly with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:  Debauchery: An American specialty In the land of Lindsay Lohan and Snooki, some federal workers reflect our culture all too well. (Washington Post) [ Lindsay Lohan? Come on Mr. Milbank, hands off the low hanging fruit. Shes totally harmless. Jersey italian snooki? In mob infested new jersey, who knows (one of the properties in my proceedings for which surplus funds are unaccounted for was a top floor balconied 2 bedroom 1 and 1/2 bath condominium (beach/boardwalk front w/indoor pool/sauna) in seaside heights, n.j. 10-31-12 Post Sandy: Im wondering if its still there. ). But debauchery an american specialty? Another rare instance wherein I agree with Mr. Milbank completely. 25 Signs That America Is A Seething Cesspool Of Filth And Corruption http://albertpeia.com/25signsamericacesspooloffilthcrimeandcorruption.htm . Review of flawed forensics held close to vest EXCLUSIVE | Documents and interviews show FBI and Justice Department officials took steps to control information uncovered by a task force designed to examine cases involving discredited agents. Many defendants were never notified of flaws in cases. Simply unconscionable (Washington Post) [ Well, I really have to say this. Im awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ) . Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed the level and extent of corruption and criminality within the ranks of the u.s. government before embarking upon this costly quest for justice and simple fairness consistent with clear law (infra, regarding the u.s. governments direct involvement in the illegal drug trade). In this civil RICO matter, there are no innocent bystanders; but rather, perpetrators, accomplices, and co-conspirators. When the fbi agent initially assigned to this matter (Connecticut) abruptly resigned/retired shortly after a conversation, though not central to my case, wherein I had said that rudy giulianis father had been an (convicted) enforcer for the mob (served 12 years? in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter?) and then sent him documentation owing to his disbelief. Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard. I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agents departure who somewhat plaintively (my call being a burden) told me that he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari, which he didnt explain further. Could anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jerseys FBI office, I was greeted by an FBI Agent who sarcastically asked me whether I was going to the disco that night (the documents including sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alitos office in the same building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   . We all can infer sam alitos reward / quid pro quo for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme court.  There was never a question as to maryanne trump barrys interest in corrupting the judicial process as related to her brothers (trump) casinos. Jersey city boy louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klayman as the most corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly holders impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvds sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference. Im currently being stonewalled by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI Agent Bill Lewis.

"Our next president," one man said.
"Dynamo, winner," said one more.
"He's lied about everything. He lied to get elected in 2008, that's why I voted for him. I bought his bull. And he's lied about everything, he hasn't come through on anything. And he's been bullshitting the public," one member of the focus group said.

Violent crime rises sharply...6:53PM EDT October 17. 2012 - WASHINGTON — The violent crime rate went up 17% last year, ending a general decline in violence that began nearly 20 years ago, according to a new federal survey of crime victims.The Justice Department's National Crime Victimization Survey also found an 11% increase in the rate of property crimes, including household burglaries and car theft.’ { Come on! Perenially understated, these understated crime numbers don’t even take into account ‘protected/unprosecuted’ wall street frauds/crimes in the trillions. And, how about those fed paper bucks that ‘fell off the fed trucks’ even just recently; kind of like those 360 tons of $100 bills ($12 billion) flown into Iraq that just ‘disappeared into thin air, etc.. }

New Threats to Riot if Obama Loses Election...  [ The threats alone are a reason sufficient for backing President Romney. If left unchecked, the nigger terrorists will be even further emboldened to their already egregious criminal, terroristic ways. No man, woman, or child will be safe if the lethal black cancer grows. The 4 years of O have been complete, utter failure and no amount of wobama b***s*** and nigger intimidation can change that fact! Quite simply, niggers are inherently criminal terrorists: Examples of what people are saying include the following;

If obama dont get re-elected & romney wins .. on life every white persons getting pistol whipped and im startin a riot. (SOURCE)

If Obama dont win lets start a riot so Romney know what hes getting himself into. (SOURCE)

You know you aint shit if you gotta MAKE Mafukas vote for ROMNEY ! . Mannnn OBAMA better get back in office . Or BLACK FOLKS will riot. (SOURCE)

If Romney wins im goin on a rampage. (SOURCE)

If Mitt Romney wins the election I think its our duties as Black folks to riot and fuck shit up. (SOURCE)

If every action IS met with an equal and opposite reaction ..what should workers do to employers if Romneys elected? #Riot in the streets!! (SOURCE)

If Romney becomes president lets all start a riot. (SOURCE)

I Heard Mitt Romney , Tryna Take Away Food Stamps , If He Do .IMA START A RIOT , IMA START A RIOT. (SOURCE)

Boy writes letter to editor after shelter kills cat...
'Grown-ups killed my kitty'...
To the editor: My name is Rayden. I am 8 years old and I live in Logan. Yesterday grown-ups killed my kitty, my best friend, when they werent supposed to. Because I really dont know how to write, my PaPa is writing down the things I think and say. My kittys name is Toothless. When I got him I had just seen How to Train a Dragon at the movies. My kitty looked just like the dragon Toothless with big green eyes and the hair around his head. Toothless, my cat, has long fluffy hair and sleeps on my bed and loved to play with my brother and me. Toothless would let us carry him around all the time. He was our best friend. Last week he didnt come in at night. Sometimes he does that, but this time he didnt come back. After two days my little brother Devin, who is 5, and I went to every house on our street and asked everyone if they had seen Toothless our cat. Everyone said no. We were worried and scared something was wrong. On Wednesday after work my dad went to the animal shelter as it was closing. They didnt want to let him in, but they did. He asked if there was a cat with long black fluffy hair there. They let my dad in to look at the cages, and there was Toothless! He was curled up laying in the back of the cage very scared. When my dad made his funny meow sound that he does to make him come home, Toothless jumped up and came to the screen and rubbed up against it and was so happy to see my dad, and he wasnt scared anymore. My dad wanted to take him home, but they said he had to go to another office building and pay a fee. The lady at the shelter said it would be OK and told him to come back the next day and we could get Toothless. When my dad came home and told my little brother and me he found Toothless we were so happy and we werent scarred or worried anymore. My dad went back the next day to get our kitty and they told him they didnt have any long-haired black cats. They only had a white fluffy cat. My dad waited a long time for the lady to come back and talk to him. The same lady that told my dad to come back the next day said she was sorry. She had forgotten to leave a note to tell the people my dad would be there for Toothless and they had just killed my cat that morning. She had just forgotten to write a note to save a member of my family. They killed him and I dont know why. My dad found out where he had been picked up and it was our neighbors down the street that dont like cats and dogs. They had caught him in a trap and gave him to the police to take him away. When Devin and I knocked on their door and asked if they had seen Toothless they told us no, and that was a lie. My dad and mom tell me and Devin not to lie and that is right. I didnt think big people lied because they are grown ups and know what is right. Now I dont know what to do. My cat Toothless is dead; the people that killed him didnt even give him to my dad so we could bury him. What do I do now? Rayden Sazama Logan  Editors note: Cache Humane Society Director Brenda Smith confirmed Raydens story that an animal shelter worker forgot to leave a note to halt euthanization of the Sazamas cat.  { The shelter/city should be sued and the employees involved should be fired for cause! }

Indeed, among the rarest breed historically of exceptional american CEO’s, Welch points to the folly of preposterously a month before elections, on paltry/pathetic jobs numbers ( election year temp/part-time for manipulating stats along with the nebulous ‘stopped looking’ fudge factor) , following a disasterous debate showing (of wobama failure and incompetence), the unemployment rate falls to just below the ‘superstitious’ 8.0. If you’re a fool, you’ll buy into what is tantamount to the obama 100% employment fantasy where literally everyone but him has stopped looking for work and hence, not counted in compiling the unemployment rate (and then those jobs in the millions lost and gone forever on his watch - what a banana republic!). Come on, wake up!: JACK WELCH: OBAMA IS MANIPULATING THE JOBS NUMBERS BECAUSE HIS DEBATE PERFORMANCE WAS AWFUL…UNBELIEVABLE JOBS NUMBERS…THESE CHICAGO GUYS WILL DO ANYTHING…CAN’T DEBATE SO CHANGE NUMBERS. }

‘…But beyond the spin and the polls, a starkly different picture emerges. It is a portrait of a man quite unlike his image, not a visionary reformer but rather a classic Chicago machine pol who thrives on rewarding himself and his friends with the spoils of public office, and who uses his position to punish his enemies. Peter Schweizer captures this other Obama with a bracing statistic in his book "Throw Them All Out," published last year. In the Obama economic stimulus program's Department of Energy loans, companies owned and run by Obama contributors and friends, like Solyndra's George Kaiser, received $16.4 billion. Those not linked to the president got only $4.1 billion. The Energy Department is far from the only federal program in which favoritism has heavily influenced federal grants. To paraphrase Tammany Hall's George Washington Plunkitt, Obama has seen his opportunities and taken them, over and over. - Mark Tapscott / Executive Editor

Just because ‘no-recession-helicopter-ben’ says something, does not mean it’s true (remember that ‘no recession call’ of his; and, of course, no QE before the election, prospectively, already discounted many times over by the ‘markets, such as they are, ie., algo buy programs, etc.. ).  All this and now ‘whatever’ is too little and too late for the uss Titanic which has taken on too much, not water, but b***s***. This was a desperate move, bespeaking desperation.The fact is things are ominously so bad, and worse than ‘allowed’ to be seen for the moment, that something as this QE which is economically and financially contraindicated and a proven failure for all but the frauds on wall street along with their cohorts including desperate politicos, is resorted to in desperation to divert attention from their unequivocal failure. After all, though having cost so many americans their jobs with wrong calls and policies, bernanke is trying to save his own by inflating the markets (along with everything else, ultimately hyperinflationary)  for fellow failure wobama’s sake (wobama rehired failure bernanke, President Romney would have fired, and will fire him … goldman sachs knew this dollar debasing failed policy QE 3 would come and at the expense of the muppets…that’s their term for all you suckers). I further believe this contraindicated largess to the frauds on wall street is to preserve his post fedship tenure job possibilities by ingratiating himself even further with those nefarious, self-serving interest groups. }

ROMNEY: 'Forwarned' is better than 'forward''...  { Sampling some of the network talking head roundtables over the weekend I was astounded how many wobamanoid apologists talked up the dismal, paltry private jobs, many part-time or low-pay, without mention of the record insurmountable $5 trillion increase in the deficit to create them for the purpose of obfuscating wobama’s blatantly failed performance as potus. Such people, either so partisan, so unschooled in the relevant disciplines, so ill-prepared for the journalistic task entrusted to them, literally have no defendable place in the field of real journalism and are an embarrassment to all that journalism purports to be. }

Yet, it cannot be denied that nobody, no news organization, not even a government agency did their homework in vetting this complete and utter fraud called ‘barack obama’! } ‘…After a couple of nights at the Time Warner Cable Arena, the convention was to have closed with President Obama’s acceptance speech at the Bank of America Stadium, where convention officials were planning to squeeze nearly 6,000 seats onto the field to expand the stadium’s capacity beyond its usual 74,000. But the speedway event was canceled — ostensibly because of logistical problems but more likely because convention fundraising was running low. Then the Democrats canceled the stadium event in favor of the smaller arena — ostensibly because of “severe thunderstorm” concerns but more likely because they couldn’t be sure enough people would come to fill the stadium.In fact, the forecast hadn’t called for severe weather, and conditions were fine Thursday night. The change caused thousands to be turned away, and the crush of crowds at the arena led authorities at one point to lock down the building for a second straight night – leaving some delegates on the street while lobbyists enjoyed the proceedings inside…’

The point is that you don’t have to love Romney but you at least have to like yourself in saying ‘NO!’ to more wobama b***s*** which is all that he is. Have some self-respect. His grade is unequivocally ‘F’ for failure, having failed to do as promised which coincidentally is a direct cause among others of this debacle called america’s dark obama years.

They are a near complete washout in non-physical tasks, are too costly and are bad workers, unproductive generally to employ and not worth the enormous cost and trouble. The very scant few exceptions are statistically insignificant. Niggers belong in jails where they can commit no crimes in general society; plus there’s the savings thereby on their invariably wasted welfare, programs in addition to their predisposed crimes on the outside…It is far cheaper to jail them which is best for civilized society (look at their off the charts crime rates, and that’s only those that are caught!

Dreams also related the tale of Obama's paternal grandfather, Hussein Onyango, who was said to have been detained and tortured in a prison outside Nairobi for six months because of his brave defiance of British colonialists. But after a half-dozen interviews and other research, Maraniss deemed the tale "unlikely."

CURL: Gift to Romney...  { This may seem somewhat counterintuitive and a bit of a rationalization; but, it is absolutely true. So true in fact, that wobama will come to be compared to Pyrrhus of Ephyrus (W. Greece) since realization of what this legislation won’t do for americans and the economy and what it actually does will not have the galvanizing effect that striking the bill down would have had on voters who were thinking ‘another free lunch from the government’ will save them (we all now know better, no such thing). Yes, in somewhat European tradition, defacto bankrupt america is keeping up with the (ie., rating agencies Egan) Joneses. After all, we all know how well this European program model is working out for Europe (and any other nation that’s tried it). In the final analysis, this and such programs as the contraindicated bailouts for the unprosecuted frauds on wall street, etc., will prove to be the ‘camel-back breaking’ moment for america; and, a pyrrhic victory for the egregiously failed president wobama.  America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke. There are signs everywhere one looks…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion }

{ Wobama is so pathetic! Sure, sacrifice for the grifter wobamas so they can continue livin’ large on the taxpayer dime while accomplishing nothing except greater public debt to hide his failure. This from the record holder for fundraisers, 151 and counting. Then there’s the 100 plus rounds of golf in addition to being famously over-vacationed while in office. It’s laughable to hear him blame congress for his lack of accomplishments when the reality is that he ‘really wasn’t there’ for any of it. For wobama the presidency is just endless debate, rhetoric, campaigning, vacationing, soundbites from the teleprompted speeches, jive-talk, b***s***, and ‘choom fantasy’. He’s a total fraud and failure and anyone who buys into election-year desperation / promises, etc., is just a fool of the worst kind!   AP: ‘…
THE FACTS: Five Senate Democrats voted against sending the DREAM Act to the Senate floor for full consideration. The bill would have created a path to citizenship for many young illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children. Last week, Obama announced plans to stop deporting illegal immigrants who would have qualified for the DREAM Act. The policy change does not include a path to citizenship…’ Then there’s the other meretricious ‘wobama desperation hail mary’ that once again falls short. Indeed, as an investor, one analyzes earnings, projects prospective earnings over a 3-5 year horizon, and the quality of the earnings along macro economic factors which are affected by ‘political considerations’. Does anyone remember the honorable Ross Perot who warned of NAFTA’s effect on american jobs even as the democrat administration et als were hell-bent on passing same? Should Romney have breached his legal duty to shareholders and invested in companies with poor earnings prospects? After all, in the financial / security analysis step of projecting the income statement, prospective labor costs figure prominently in the bottomline. In sum, Romney took conditions as he found them, and made the prudent choices which as per his legal duty were optimal for those who put their trust in him. For those who put their trust in proven failure wobama, all they have to show for such misplaced trust are broken campaign promises, now insurmountable record deficit spending exceeding all the presidents since Eisenhower combined to obfuscate what clearly has been wobama’s unequivocal failure.  }

Shooter of Florida teen not a racist, lawyer says...
SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

Niggers are a scourge on civilized society wherever they are. Just look around, worldwide, wherever they are, in concentrations particularly; it’s the same nigger story. That’s the way they are. That’s what they are. They are a blight on any neighborhood. They are a blight on any society and an insurmountable burden. They bring any society down. Some will argue, how ‘bout sports?, to which one may reply, ie., just because you go to horse races, doesn’t mean you want to live with horses, or, just because you have monkeys in zoos doesn’t mean you want to live with them, etc., much less cede control and affect over society to them.  ] '

Suspended THREE times for drugs, truancy and graffiti and 'caught carrying a burglary tool': New picture emerges of Trayvon Martin (and did he attack a bus driver too?)

·        Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times in the months before he was shot dead by a neighborhood watchman, it emerged today.

·        The facts, revealed in a leaked report, paint a different picture of a teenager who frequently found himself in trouble with authorities.

·        It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that it is claimed belonged to the teen.

The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a 'burglary tool' - a flathead screwdriver - and 12 pieces of women's jewellery. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.

The other major crimes they do anyway. It’s their nature. You’ll never change the nigger … they evolved only to ‘a point’ and no further.  ] Fairgoers 'pulled out of cars'... 'They were just going after white people'...  Heightened security...  [ I refrained from using the ‘n word’ (or even blacks / negroes) in referring to the culprits in the following two incidents (those tender sensibilities) but I’m sure you’ve guessed that they were niggers and I include same here in light of the foregoing incident (and yes, the victims were white), which is typical. ‘.. while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a “park” - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA’s position with both felonies ( he went to prison – pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of ‘bystander effect’ / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal  / nigger after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal / nigger went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 niggers and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA. But, to be fair and balanced, the RICO litigation involves those uncivilized who consider themselves ‘whites’ http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf  (predominantly but not exclusively jews / romans-italians / mobsters / government slugs). ]

200 Involved In Fights At Mall Of America After Rumors That Rappers Are There...

Miami Heat Players Don Hoodies...
'Dead or Alive' Poster Issued by New Black Panther Party... [ ‘Minority Report’ Division of Pre-Crime, Pre-Cogs say, ‘Dead or Alive – all niggers’ … whatever the outcome in the investigative process, the stark reality is that at least, unlike the niggers committing many more ‘black on white’ violent crimes,  Zimmerman (and this is no endorsement – I won’t be looking at this one incident all that closely) was at least trying to do a good thing made necessary by the ever increasing number of brutal crimes committed by the black thugs in neighborhoods across the nation; then there’s somalian pirates, etc.. People domestically and internationally are suffering from nigger-fatigue and are totally niggered out. Oh, yeah, there are some Hollywood types who feel good about themselves having niggers around and helping niggers to help them feel better than they really are, insecure as they are, by being better than at least someone beyond fantasy. Loony george clooney is one. Dreadfully boring and with that monotone, monotonous voice and not that bright, he’s not even able to fake it on screen as an action hero (ie., batman, what a horrific miscast) wimpy pussy in reality that he is; then there’s the ‘black (sean) penn’ who cried like a baby while incarcerated for a couple of days not that long ago. The atheist jolie, so fatherly troubled as she is, has let the equally mentally troubled pitt (she so nutty she makes him feel somewhat sane though still not too bright) and pendulum ‘backwoods bob’ be the closest she’s gotten to her black projects. Let them live anonomously (in disguise) with the niggers for some time for a real close look and then see what’s left of their predisposed love for the nigger. Then there’s the italian scallion, booby deniro; drug addled as his black wife high-tower, what a total embarrassment to Italians everywhere; even as he tried to ingratiate himself recently with niggers everywhere and particularly national embarrassment mammy michele with the embarrassing pro-nigger first lady remark..   [ Send the niggers back to sub-saharan Africa! ]
'BLACK NIGGERS [ NOT WHITES BY NIGGERS THE IMPLICATION DESPITE FACTUAL DATA TO THE CONTRARY  ] ARE UNDER ATTACK [ SAYS NIGGER SHAKEDOWN ARTIST JACKSON] ' [ Hold on one cotton-pickin’ minute jesse, that’s not what the facts say
Obama: ‘If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.’ [ Yeah! He’d look just like any other nigger. And, don’t worry about the black vote, failed president wobama the b for b***s*** will get nearly if not all, 100% of the nigger vote! Drudgereport:  Farrakhan Threatens 'Retaliation'… [ Retaliation? Can you imagine the number of blacks that would have to be retaliated against based upon the hushed reality of the prevalence of black on white crime? The blacks should be careful what they wish for in playing that game because the facts don’t break in their favor. ] ...

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

The reality is that blacks are an insoluble problem wherever they are.

EPITAPH FOR AMERICA: Nothing quite succeeds like failure in america. I had tried to help underdog (and outsider and former missionary and hard worker and straight shooter) Mitt Romney by coming out early and unequivocally in support of him and change in the disastrous direction of america, unequivocally in decline. Importantly, that also gave me 'license' to say what needed saying but what everyone considers politically incorrect, impolitic, or brutally honest and/but are afraid to say. The key(s) to the election debacle here were the threat of riots and violence by the typical uncivilized niggers. After all, americans generally are without doubt an inherently cowardly people and war-mongering bullies as indicated by past and recent history. I saw this first hand by particularly that screaming old lady lying on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, purse stolen by the nigger who calmly walked away as whites among others walked, passed her by in fear (see immediately infra). Truth be told, I bit my tongue and cringed at every Romney link to corrupt, venal war criminals/criminals/mobsters bushes, cheney, trump, kean, (republicans alito, et als) etc., who have substantially damaged me (along with referenced democrats, to be fair). Then there's that contra-indicated love-fest with war mongering/war crimes nation, illegal nuke totin' israel (almost more than I could bear). On the positive side, trusting in GOD only as I do, I must confess I was happy to see the destruction of the jersey shore and appropriately, rockaway beach, queens, new york (jersey mob and gambino crime family connection). A lesson to all, Romney particularly, never trust a half-breed sicilian former federal government slug; that rotund humpty dumpty christie of jersey infamy. Amazingly, the very people who've been and will prospectively be damaged by nothing more than a mentally troubled fraud, grifter, jive-talking b***s***/con artist obama, gave him the blind support he needed to prevail regardless of his unequivocally failed four years of prior broken campaign promises, reality, and rationality. Self-destructive, mentally challenged/troubled losers? That fits! That america is a hopelessly failed, bankrupt nation in decline, there is no question!

[ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims)' ... while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a 'park' - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA's position with both felonies ( he went to prison - pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of 'bystander effect' / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 blacks and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA. But, to be fair and balanced, the RICO litigation involves those uncivilized who consider themselves 'whites' http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf (predominantly but not exclusively jews / romans-italians / mobsters / government slugs). http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm     http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm ]

Barack Obama: The Naked Emperor Shocking but true revelations from David Icke (a must read) | Vast numbers of people across the world, including many who should know better, have been duped by the mind-game called Operation Obama... (excerpts) Obama has been the chosen one for a long time, a fact known only to a few in the deep inner circle, and his relationship with Brzezinski almost certainly goes back to the start of the 1980s when he attended the Ivy League, and big-time Illuminati, Columbia University where Brzezinski was head of the Institute for Communist Affairs. Obama simply will not talk in any detail about this period. He has been covertly funded and supported ever since by the Trilateral Commission and its network of foundations connecting into the Ford Foundation, for whom Obama's mother worked. And a question: Does anyone really believe that someone, a 'man of the people', would simply appear from apparently nowhere to run the slickest and best-funded presidential campaign in American history? He was chosen long ago by those who wish to enslave the very people that Obama says he wants to 'set free'. The sources of Obama funding read like a Wall Street Who's Who - Goldman Sachs, UBS, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, J.P. Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and so on. No wonder he went back on his pledge to accept the limitations of public funding for his campaign and instead took the no-limit option of 'private fundingThen there is the Jewish financier, George Soros, the multi-billionaire associate of Brzezinski and closely involved with the funding and marketing of Obama. Soros is a former board member of the Illuminati's Council on Foreign Relations and funds the European Council on Foreign Relations. In short, he is a major insider' You can certainly see the Soros/Brzezinski techniques in the Obama 'revolution' in the United States. It was the complex and secretive network of Soros foundations and organisations, connected to the intelligence agencies of the US and Israel, that trained and funded students in the Ukraine, Georgia and elsewhere in the art of mass protest and overthrowing governments. These manufactured protests were sold to the world as peoples' revolutions, but it just so happened that when they were over and the old regime was removed the new leaders were those waiting in the wings all along - the puppets of Soros, Brzezinski and their associated networks. Obama is just more of the same, a big smile with strings attached, and controlled completely by the Illuminati networks that chose him, trained him, sold him and provided his record funding. It was they who kept his many skeletons under wraps, like the gay sex and crack cocaine allegations of Larry Sinclair (from affidavit: 1. Who is Ron Allen that claims to be with your Presidential camp, who is alleged to claim that someone claiming to represent me called asking for $100,000, to keep me from coming forward about our (Obama and I) November 1999 encounter of sex and cocaine use?), and they will continue to do so as long as he jumps to their bidding. Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself for fame and power, and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. His financial advisors are straight from the Wall Street 'A' list, including Paul Adolph Volker (Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group), the head of the Federal Reserve from 1979 to 1987 and Illuminati to his fingertips. Obama has made him head of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which is dominated by insiders, including its staff director and chief economist, Austan Goolsbee, a close Obama associate from the University of Chicago. Goolsbee is an initiate of the infamous Illuminati Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, which also includes Boy and Father Bush. It was Goolsbee who told the Canadian government not to worry about Obama's attacks on the economic effects of free trade agreements because his words were just to win votes in the election campaign. Another Wall Street insider, the Zionist Timothy Geithner (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations), was appointed by Obama to be his Treasury Secretary. Geithner was the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the most powerful in the private Federal Reserve cartel that masquerades as America's central bank, and he is a former employee of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the appalling Kissinger Associates. Obama's Treasury team locks into the inner circle around the Zionist Robert Rubin, the Director and Senior Counselor of Citigroup, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and economic advisor to Obama. Rubin, a member of the Illuminati Bilderberg Group, was the man behind Citigroup's strategy of expanding its risk in debt markets which forced it to be rescued by taxpayers' money. The very people who caused the financial crisis are being appointed by Obama to decide how to respond to it (more taxpayers' money for them and their friends)

Fact is, it doesn’t matter. Not one bit. And we’ll show you why mathematically... This is not a political problem, it’s a mathematical one. Facts are facts, no matter how uncomfortable they may be.

Vote Obama or Romney, but stocks still overpriced: Rosenberg  Marketwatch November 6, 2012 ‘Election Day is an opportune time to check in with David Rosenberg, the plain-speaking chief economist and strategist at Canadian investment manager Gluskin Sheff + Associates. From his perch north of the U.S.  in Toronto, Rosenberg looks at the U.S. presidential election from the edge of the so-called fiscal cliff and the tough budgetary decisions that await the election winner.What Rosenberg sees is a nation where stocks are 20% overpriced against a U.S. economy that faces, if not an outright recession, then a “growth relapse” that would trim GDP expansion to around 1% at best.“The economy is still in the throes of a multi-year credit contraction phase,” Rosenberg told clients in a research note published Tuesday. “What we can expect is for the pace of activity to weaken substantially during periods when [Federal Reserve] stimulus fades.”No matter who wins the presidential election, Rosenberg adds, Washington will tighten its belt in 2013 – the only way “to put the nation’s finances on a more stable footing.”Rosenberg’s outlook clearly isn’t the best backdrop for stocks: “The market is not as cheap as the pundits, who rely on year-ahead EPS estimates, deem it to be,” he wrote. “When one incorporates cyclically adjusted corporate earnings in ‘real’ terms, equities are still roughly 20% overvalued.”To correct this imbalance, stocks will trade down to a price-earnings multiple of around 12 with a 4% dividend yield on the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index SPX +0.84% . That said, Rosenberg isn’t herding investors into the lifeboats. He’s bullish on themes that reflect the frugal consumer, including discount retailers, home improvement and food and beverage staples. Rosenberg also taps non-cyclical sectors such as aerospace and health care. He favors income-producing stocks and bonds, and likes gold miners over bullion.These conditions reflect a secular, sideways market that began in 2000 and historically runs 16 to 18 years, Rosenberg says. In such a market, he adds, investors have to be nimble: “Rallies are to be rented, not owned.”When can investors expect to see a new bull market? Says Rosenberg: “We likely have a long way to go.”– Jonathan BurtonFollow the Tell on Twitter: @thetellblogFollow Jonathan Burton on Twitter @mktwburton

Americans Aged 18-29 Have A More Favorable Response To Socialism Than To Capitalism In the prior post, we showed a presentation that looked at America from the perspective of a corporation and how it would be completely unsustainable. Luckily, there is little probability that America will ever have anything to do with S-Corp status, and far more likely end up as an agrarian Kolhoz. The reason: based on a Pew survey of America's youth, or those aged 18-29, more have a positive view response toward Socialism than they do toward Capitalism. We will leave it at that.  ,  USA, Inc. - Part 2: If America Were A Corporation, It Would Be Broke-er  When Mary Meeker, formerly of pre-IPO bubble analyst fame, released her "USA, Inc." presentation last year, which assayed the US government as if it were a corporation, her conclusion was simple: the country is broke, and can not continue along the path it is on now. Fast forward to today, when the US debt balance is over $1 trillion higher, and the next edition of Mary Meeker's presentation which she released at last week's Ira Sohn conference.

11-5-11 Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. 43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

America also leads in the illegal drug trade.  In fact, many researchers reveal that the war on drugs is only utilized to control and monopolize the illicit drug trade.  The US government has been caught multiple times shipping in cocaine [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvbdiWgwsA , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQNSoOX-dcw&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG1Id2qpSOE&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEUhpxeuP4&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyM43Sw2OVc&feature=related ] , colluding with certain cartels [ http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/08/does_mexican_drug_cartel_have_deal_with_us_government.html ] to control the industry, and now openly protects and transports opium from Afghanistan [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElEciFI0Pew ] .  In fact, Global Research points out that in 2001, “according to UN figures, opium production had fallen to 185 tons. Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [ http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world ] ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

Guest Post: The West Has Just Become A Giant Banana Republic  Legal precedent means nothing. Rule of law means nothing. Free speech means nothing. Their own treaties mean nothing. Its unbelievable. Anyone in the west who honestly thinks hes still living in a free society is either a fool or completely out of touch. If that seems too radical an idea, consider that ECUADOR is now the only nation which stands to defend freedom and human rights against an assault from the United States, the United Kingdom, and their spineless allies. The west has just become a giant banana republic. Have you hit your breaking point yet? If not now when?  { { Im really constrained to interject my own direct experience with the FBI here; and, I must say I do so lamentably. If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the tough questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal drug ops (opsriiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You cant make this stuff up. I also dont believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. Im beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the federal (judicial) system who share the same employer; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared more fairly with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:  Debauchery: An American specialty In the land of Lindsay Lohan and Snooki, some federal workers reflect our culture all too well. (Washington Post) [ Lindsay Lohan? Come on Mr. Milbank, hands off the low hanging fruit. Shes totally harmless. Jersey italian snooki? In mob infested new jersey, who knows (one of the properties in my proceedings for which surplus funds are unaccounted for was a top floor balconied 2 bedroom 1 and 1/2 bath condominium (beach/boardwalk front w/indoor pool/sauna) in seaside heights, n.j. 10-31-12 Post Sandy: Im wondering if its still there. ). But debauchery an american specialty? Another rare instance wherein I agree with Mr. Milbank completely. 25 Signs That America Is A Seething Cesspool Of Filth And Corruption http://albertpeia.com/25signsamericacesspooloffilthcrimeandcorruption.htm . Review of flawed forensics held close to vest EXCLUSIVE | Documents and interviews show FBI and Justice Department officials took steps to control information uncovered by a task force designed to examine cases involving discredited agents. Many defendants were never notified of flaws in cases. Simply unconscionable (Washington Post) [ Well, I really have to say this. Im awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ) . Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed the level and extent of corruption and criminality within the ranks of the u.s. government before embarking upon this costly quest for justice and simple fairness consistent with clear law (infra, regarding the u.s. governments direct involvement in the illegal drug trade). In this civil RICO matter, there are no innocent bystanders; but rather, perpetrators, accomplices, and co-conspirators. When the fbi agent initially assigned to this matter (Connecticut) abruptly resigned/retired shortly after a conversation, though not central to my case, wherein I had said that rudy giulianis father had been an (convicted) enforcer for the mob (served 12 years? in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter?) and then sent him documentation owing to his disbelief. Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard. I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agents departure who somewhat plaintively (my call being a burden) told me that he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari, which he didnt explain further. Could anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jerseys FBI office, I was greeted by an FBI Agent who sarcastically asked me whether I was going to the disco that night (the documents including sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alitos office in the same building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   . We all can infer sam alitos reward / quid pro quo for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme court.  There was never a question as to maryanne trump barrys interest in corrupting the judicial process as related to her brothers (trump) casinos. Jersey city boy louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klayman as the most corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly holders impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvds sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference. Im currently being stonewalled by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI Agent Bill Lewis.

Debates 'diminished' Obama, says Romney "You can boil down what he's saying to four simple words: more of the same," Romney said today in Reno. { I’m truly astounded that after 4 years of b***s***, lies, profligate spending for obfuscation but much vacation, and consequent unequivocal failure, people are even listening to, much less ‘buying’ what wobama desperately says. Not even a word from 0 is worth listening to. That includes those who should supposedly know better. Moreover, self-respect requires that americans reject wobama’s desperate campaign slings, arrows, and desperate entreaties which ignore the reality of his blatant failure in large part owing to his having failed to do as promised last ‘eternal campaign’.

11-5-11 Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. 43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

Albert L. Peia

America also leads in the illegal drug trade.  In fact, many researchers reveal that the war on drugs is only utilized to control and monopolize the illicit drug trade.  The US government has been caught multiple times shipping in cocaine [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvbdiWgwsA , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQNSoOX-dcw&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG1Id2qpSOE&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEUhpxeuP4&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyM43Sw2OVc&feature=related ] , colluding with certain cartels [ http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/08/does_mexican_drug_cartel_have_deal_with_us_government.html ] to control the industry, and now openly protects and transports opium from Afghanistan [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElEciFI0Pew ] .  In fact, Global Research points out that in 2001, “according to UN figures, opium production had fallen to 185 tons. Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [ http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world ] ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

,  Guest Post: The West Has Just Become A Giant Banana Republic  Legal precedent means nothing. Rule of law means nothing. Free speech means nothing. Their own treaties mean nothing. Its unbelievable. Anyone in the west who honestly thinks hes still living in a free society is either a fool or completely out of touch. If that seems too radical an idea, consider that ECUADOR is now the only nation which stands to defend freedom and human rights against an assault from the United States, the United Kingdom, and their spineless allies. The west has just become a giant banana republic. Have you hit your breaking point yet? If not now when?  { { Im really constrained to interject my own direct experience with the FBI here; and, I must say I do so lamentably. If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the tough questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal drug ops (opsriiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You cant make this stuff up. I also dont believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. Im beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the federal (judicial) system who share the same employer; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared more fairly with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:  Debauchery: An American specialty In the land of Lindsay Lohan and Snooki, some federal workers reflect our culture all too well. (Washington Post) [ Lindsay Lohan? Come on Mr. Milbank, hands off the low hanging fruit. Shes totally harmless. Jersey italian snooki? In mob infested new jersey, who knows (one of the properties in my proceedings for which surplus funds are unaccounted for was a top floor balconied 2 bedroom 1 and 1/2 bath condominium (beach/boardwalk front w/indoor pool/sauna) in seaside heights, n.j. 10-31-12 Post Sandy: Im wondering if its still there. ). But debauchery an american specialty? Another rare instance wherein I agree with Mr. Milbank completely. 25 Signs That America Is A Seething Cesspool Of Filth And Corruption http://albertpeia.com/25signsamericacesspooloffilthcrimeandcorruption.htm . Review of flawed forensics held close to vest EXCLUSIVE | Documents and interviews show FBI and Justice Department officials took steps to control information uncovered by a task force designed to examine cases involving discredited agents. Many defendants were never notified of flaws in cases. Simply unconscionable (Washington Post) [ Well, I really have to say this. Im awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ) . Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed the level and extent of corruption and criminality within the ranks of the u.s. government before embarking upon this costly quest for justice and simple fairness consistent with clear law (infra, regarding the u.s. governments direct involvement in the illegal drug trade). In this civil RICO matter, there are no innocent bystanders; but rather, perpetrators, accomplices, and co-conspirators. When the fbi agent initially assigned to this matter (Connecticut) abruptly resigned/retired shortly after a conversation, though not central to my case, wherein I had said that rudy giulianis father had been an (convicted) enforcer for the mob (served 12 years? in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter?) and then sent him documentation owing to his disbelief. Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard. I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agents departure who somewhat plaintively (my call being a burden) told me that he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari, which he didnt explain further. Could anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jerseys FBI office, I was greeted by an FBI Agent who sarcastically asked me whether I was going to the disco that night (the documents including sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alitos office in the same building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   . We all can infer sam alitos reward / quid pro quo for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme court.  There was never a question as to maryanne trump barrys interest in corrupting the judicial process as related to her brothers (trump) casinos. Jersey city boy louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klayman as the most corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly holders impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvds sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference. Im currently being stonewalled by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI Agent Bill Lewis.

Dozens killed, millions without power in Sandy's wake

The most devastating storm in decades to hit the country's most densely populated region upended man and nature as it rolled back the clock on 21st-century lives, cutting off modern communication and leaving millions without power Tuesday as thousands who fled their water-menaced homes wondered when if life would return to normal.

 

 

Sandy Total Loss Estimate: Up To $100 Billion

In a stunningly accurate prediction of what to expect from a 100-year storm, the following 2011 report assessing the 'risk increase to infrastructure due to a sea level rise' provides everything you did not want to know about just how bad the situation is with recovery from Sandy's damage but were afraid to ask. Based on extrapolations from storm surge heights, the authors see a 'perfect storm' of this magnitude likely creating a total loss between $50 and $100bn. As Atlantic Cities notes, citing the report: The researchers also estimate that... it could take the subway system about 21 days to get working at 90 percent functionality. If all potential damage is considered, ...that timeline could increase to several months, and that "permanent restoration of the system to the full revenue service that was previously available could take more than two years."

Guest Post: Wealth Inequality in America

Plenty of talk has gone into the rising income inequality that America has experienced since the early 1970s. But income is merely a wealth flow, and the truer measure of equality is the distribution of net worth and financial wealth (the wealth stock). The historical change is clear: the bottom 80% have gotten considerably poorer both in financial wealth and in terms of total net worth.

 

 

How Central Bank Policy Impacts Asset Prices Part 5: How Far Can They Go?

With the unlimited asset purchase announcements by the Fed and ECB recently, the limits of balance sheet expansion will be put to the test. The current levels would have been seen as inconceivable a mere few years ago and now it seems business-as-usual as investors have become heuristically biased away from the remarkable growth. The problem is - central banks are missing inflation targets and credit growth is still declining - need moar easing, forget the consequences.

S&P Futures Resume Trading Under 1400

While hardly the biggest priority for NYC at this time, where rats in downtown New York of all varieties are doing their best to scramble away from the flood and get to higher territory, futures have just resumed trading for the overnight session, only to close before the average retail investor can buy or sell tomorrow at 9:15 am. The first trades indicate a resumption of this morning's weakness, but keep the 1400 support area in mind: if solidly taken out this may be Waterloo for the Fed for this year. And while normally we would expect the futures to get a NY Fed-assisted ramp that would make the TSX last second surge seems like a joke, the just released news from AAPL could well shake the bulls out of their trance, and finally force the world's biggest hedge fund hotel (230 hedge funds long) to puke and take the entire market with it. As we post, S&P 500 futures are sliding to 1397.5 (down over 10 points) - in line with where we noted they would trade at today's 'pretend' market close.

Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   ‘MARKETS LIMP INTO THE WEEKEND 10-26-12 It seems to this observer that perhaps not much is going to happen with markets until after the election. There are just too many headwinds of uncertainty surrounding everything. Of course, there is always the unknown news event that can throw things in one direction or another but that kind of stuff is always with us. The “tell” now is with corporations who aren’t spending based on uncertainty surrounding the election, tax policies, the fiscal cliff, eurozone and so forth. Until these issues become clear we’re in stall mode. Overseas news was dominated by the Bank of Japan launching another round of stimulus on fears that it won’t be able to sell its next bond issue unless they buy it themselves. Frankly, Japan has more problems with a debt bubble than is currently in the news. Korean stocks fell on a decline in exports which isn’t a surprise. Chinese stocks fell to a 5 week low on poor earnings. Spain’s unemployment rate soared to 25% vs 24% which is stunning even as a stealth bank bailout is underway. The troika determined that a Greek bailout was still illusive combined with the country’s demand for €30 billion more was needed. (The amounts needed there will always be growing it seems as conditions fall by the wayside.) In France S&P cut ratings for both BNP Paribas and SocGen. And, even in Canada Moody’s put six banks on watch for downgrades including Bank of Montreal. Later in the day Swiss icon UBS announced it would lay-off 10K employees. Meanwhile back in the U.S. GDP data was reported at 2% vs 1.8% expected with nearly 1/3 of the gain from government spending. Consumer Sentiment, highly weighted by stock prices, was at 82.6 vs 83.1. I have more “confidence” in the Conference Board data. The big earnings news from Apple (AAPL) was panned as the stock declined while Amazon (AMZN) rose despite the large miss on earnings, revenues and guidance. As to the latter, an analyst at Needham stated the “poor report presented the opportunity for a large upside surprise on the next report” which is how WS can spin bad news. With the PE at 280 (no typo) that’s the kind of thinking that institutional robots use to invest based on analysts’ recommendations. The dollar (UUP) was flat as was gold (GLD). Commodity markets (DBC) and (USO) were also relatively unchanged  Bonds (TLT) and (IEF) were higher in price as the sawtooth trading range pattern continues over most maturities. Stocks were uninspired overall lacking certainty on issues noted above and mostly declining earnings closing flat on the day. It’s really a wait and see game for now. Volume was once again light as most investors find little incentive to get further involved now. Breadth per the WSJ was mostly negative…’,  YAHOO [BRIEFING.COM]:  ‘…Amazon gained 6.9% after reporting its earnings. The online retailer lost $0.23 per share. However, the number may not be comparable to the Capital IQ consensus estimate which forecast a loss of $0.10. The company's revenue of $13.81 billion was largely in-line with expectations, but management issued downside fourth quarter guidance…’ { Tell me … What’s wrong with this (foregoing) picture (of wall street insanity)? }

Guest Post: A Golden Opportunity  { Wow! The truth really hurts! Difficult to imagine, however, given the obsessive compulsive mindset of players including non-muppet puppeteers among others heavily invested in this fiasco which is an overriding dynamic, at least thus far in this comedy of errors gone global. } The euro debt crisis in Europe has presented Germany with a unique opportunity to lead the world away from monetary destruction and its consequences of economic chaos, social unrest, and unfathomable human suffering. The cause of the euro debt crisis is the misconstruction of the euro that allows all members of the European Monetary Union (EMU), currently 17 sovereign nations, to print euros and force them on all other members. Germany is on the verge of seeing its capital base plundered from the inevitable dynamics of this tragedy of the commons. It should leave the EMU, reinstate the deutsche mark (DM), and anchor it to gold.  ,  The Complete 'Advanced' Economy Sovereign Ratings Cheat-Sheet  S&P recently acted to markedly downgrade Spain, and Moodys has ended its recent ratings review, leaving Spain at Baa3; and while ratings could remain largely stable in the short-term (supported by OMT's promise and the possible delay of GRExit), there are a few exceptions such as France and and the UK that Citi's Rates group expect to see downgrades on in the short-term. The following table provides the full breakdown of Moody's and S&P's ratings for the advanced economies along with Citi's model views - which imply weak outlooks for most of Europe in the medium-term as Greek reality hits home.  ,  Guest Post: Putin Is the New Global Shah of Oil  Exxon Mobil is no longer the world's number-one oil producer. As of yesterday, that title belongs to Putin Oil Corp oh, whoops. We mean the title belongs to Rosneft, Russia's state-controlled oil company. With TNK-BP in its hands, Rosneft will be in charge of more than 4 million barrels of oil production a day. And who is in charge of Rosneft? None other than Vladimir Putin, Russia's resource-full president. Gazprom in control of Europe's gas, Rosneft in control of its oil. A red hand stretching out from Russia to strangle the supremacy of the West and pave the way for a new world order one with Russia at the helm. It is not as far-fetched as it might seem or as you might want it to be. Or imagine this: Russia could join OPEC.  ,  Why The Real Earnings Picture Is Bad And Getting Worse  Listening to the incessant chatter of confirmation bias from CNBC, you could be forgiven for thinking that earnings are 'not that bad'. Headline-makers like AMZN, GOOG, and AAPL scare for a few moments but we are reassured back to numb BTFD-land by some disingenuous analyst (or worse a PM) who says he is buying with both hands and feet. The misleadingly top-down positive impression of looking at a 'beats-to-total ratio', suffers from one rather annoying bias (that often gets forgotten):  analysts constantly revising their expectations throughout the reporting period, and hence rarely deviates from the current level of 71%. But, as Citi notes, if one examines results relative to analyst expectations prior to the reporting season, it's clear just how disappointing Q3 has been - especially given the sell-side mark-downs already factored-in.Intriguingly, for as downbeat as third quarter results have been, we've yet to see the sell-side revise down estimates for next quarter or 2013.

 

 

Vietnamese Banks Who Paid Dividend On Stored Gold, Were Quietly Selling It To Appear Solvent

Several months ago, we reported about a troubling development in Vietnam, happy inflationary host of one of the world's most rapidly devaluing and best named currencies, that in direct refutation of Ben "Gold is not money, it is tradition" Bernanke's claim that gold is just a trinket one can fondle with no inherent value, the local banks had gone as far as paying the local residents a dividend to "store" their gold (recall all those charges against gold that it never, ever pays a dividend....). However, as we subsequently warned, any time a bank, and especially an entire banking sector, is willing to pay you paper "dividends" for your gold, run, because all this kind of (s)quid pro quo usually ends up as a confiscation ploy. Sure enough, as Dow Jones reports today, the gold, which did not belong to the banks and was merely being warehoused there (or so the fine print said), was promptly sold by these same institutions to generate cash proceeds and to boost liquidity reserves using other people's gold, obtained under false pretenses.

[ One thing is certain from my own direct experience { The unfortunate reality is what I’ve alluded to in the context of my own direct experience; viz., america’s ‘legal system’ is an illegal system used to cover-up crimes, arbitrarily enforce laws to apply pressure, etc., and essentially run by the inmates of this collective criminal entity called america: http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       
http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm     
http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm   }   ; despite enormous amounts of taxpayer money poured into the ‘federal system’, there’s relatively/proportionately very little real significant results (an example would be the brutalizing of Martha Stewart over a $45 thousand transaction while wall street frauds in the trillions by the biggest players have gone unprosecuted). I believe reasonable diligence requires self-reliance more than ever before in this nation’s history; particularly when political correctness in some states prevents calling a spade a spade to the substantial detriment of law enforcement! ]

Or, are americans going to cower in fear of the nigger threats and prove to the world they are but cowards of a failed nation. }

 

New Threats to Riot if Obama Loses Election...  [ The threats alone are a reason sufficient for backing President Romney. If left unchecked, the nigger terrorists will be even further emboldened to their already egregious criminal, terroristic ways. No man, woman, or child will be safe if the lethal black cancer grows. The 4 years of O have been complete, utter failure and no amount of wobama b***s*** and nigger intimidation can change that fact! Quite simply, niggers are inherently criminal terrorists: Examples of what people are saying include the following;

If obama dont get re-elected & romney wins .. on life every white persons getting pistol whipped and im startin a riot. (SOURCE)

If Obama dont win lets start a riot so Romney know what hes getting himself into. (SOURCE)

You know you aint shit if you gotta MAKE Mafukas vote for ROMNEY ! . Mannnn OBAMA better get back in office . Or BLACK FOLKS will riot. (SOURCE)

If Romney wins im goin on a rampage. (SOURCE)

If Mitt Romney wins the election I think its our duties as Black folks to riot and fuck shit up. (SOURCE)

If every action IS met with an equal and opposite reaction ..what should workers do to employers if Romneys elected? #Riot in the streets!! (SOURCE)

If Romney becomes president lets all start a riot. (SOURCE)  

If romney wins, imma start a mfn riot! Rns. (SOURCE)  ]

Q3 GDP Estimate Beats Expectations As Government "Consumption" Soars

The preliminary look at Q3 GDP just came out and "beat" expectations of a 1.8% print, with a 2.0% reading (or just in line with stall speed, a number which previously has been indicative of recessions). So far so good, but as with every other pre-election economic data point out of the government, one has to look behind the headline to get the true picture. And the details are, as expected, ugly. Because of the 2.02% annualized increase in GDP, over one third, or 0.71% (compared to a deduction of -0.14% in Q2), was contributed by "Government Consumption."  This was the biggest rise in government spending in 3 years, and only the first contribution by Uncle Sam to its own GDP print since Q2 2010. So in much the same way as the September jobs print soared courtesy of government employee hiring, this same government is now juicing its own numbers to make itself look better. The real question is what the second and third Q3 GDP revisions will show, which both come, luckily, after the election. Recall that Q2 GDP initially came out at 1.5%, then was revised to 1.7%, until finally coming to rest at 1.25%.

Debates 'diminished' Obama, says Romney "You can boil down what he's saying to four simple words: more of the same," Romney said today in Reno. { I’m truly astounded that after 4 years of b***s***, lies, profligate spending for obfuscation but much vacation, and consequent unequivocal failure, people are even listening to, much less ‘buying’ what wobama desperately says. Not even a word from 0 is worth listening to. That includes those who should supposedly know better. Moreover, self-respect requires that americans reject wobama’s desperate campaign slings, arrows, and desperate entreaties which ignore the reality of his blatant failure in large part owing to his having failed to do as promised last ‘eternal campaign’. Then there’s the threats and intimidation from the niggers who are like ignorant, vicious  animals in lockstep accord with the abject and utter presidential failure obama; yet, such typical ‘clannish’ racism by blacks is virtually ignored and rational opposition to the failure spelled ‘0’ is being cast as racist. How can any nation survive such contraindicated insanity.  I’m truly amazed! }

Violent crime rises sharply...6:53PM EDT October 17. 2012 - WASHINGTON — The violent crime rate went up 17% last year, ending a general decline in violence that began nearly 20 years ago, according to a new federal survey of crime victims.The Justice Department's National Crime Victimization Survey also found an 11% increase in the rate of property crimes, including household burglaries and car theft.’ { Come on! Perenially understated, these understated crime numbers don’t even take into account ‘protected/unprosecuted’ wall street frauds/crimes in the trillions. And, how about those fed paper bucks that ‘fell off the fed trucks’ even just recently; kind of like those 360 tons of $100 bills ($12 billion) flown into Iraq that just ‘disappeared into thin air, etc.. }

New Threats to Riot if Obama Loses Election...  [ The threats alone are a reason sufficient for backing President Romney. If left unchecked, the nigger terrorists will be even further emboldened to their already egregious criminal, terroristic ways. No man, woman, or child will be safe if the lethal black cancer grows. The 4 years of O have been complete, utter failure and no amount of wobama b***s*** and nigger intimidation can change that fact! Quite simply, niggers are inherently criminal terrorists: Examples of what people are saying include the following;

If obama dont get re-elected & romney wins .. on life every white persons getting pistol whipped and im startin a riot. (SOURCE)

If Obama dont win lets start a riot so Romney know what hes getting himself into. (SOURCE)

You know you aint shit if you gotta MAKE Mafukas vote for ROMNEY ! . Mannnn OBAMA better get back in office . Or BLACK FOLKS will riot. (SOURCE)

If Romney wins im goin on a rampage. (SOURCE)

If Mitt Romney wins the election I think its our duties as Black folks to riot and fuck shit up. (SOURCE)

If every action IS met with an equal and opposite reaction ..what should workers do to employers if Romneys elected? #Riot in the streets!! (SOURCE)

If Romney becomes president lets all start a riot. (SOURCE)

I Heard Mitt Romney , Tryna Take Away Food Stamps , If He Do .IMA START A RIOT , IMA START A RIOT. (SOURCE)

If romney wins, imma start a mfn riot! Rns. (SOURCE)  ]

Boy writes letter to editor after shelter kills cat...
'Grown-ups killed my kitty'... To the editor: My name is Rayden. I am 8 years old and I live in Logan. Yesterday grown-ups killed my kitty, my best friend, when they werent supposed to. Because I really dont know how to write, my PaPa is writing down the things I think and say. My kittys name is Toothless. When I got him I had just seen How to Train a Dragon at the movies. My kitty looked just like the dragon Toothless with big green eyes and the hair around his head. Toothless, my cat, has long fluffy hair and sleeps on my bed and loved to play with my brother and me. Toothless would let us carry him around all the time. He was our best friend. Last week he didnt come in at night. Sometimes he does that, but this time he didnt come back. After two days my little brother Devin, who is 5, and I went to every house on our street and asked everyone if they had seen Toothless our cat. Everyone said no. We were worried and scared something was wrong. On Wednesday after work my dad went to the animal shelter as it was closing. They didnt want to let him in, but they did. He asked if there was a cat with long black fluffy hair there. They let my dad in to look at the cages, and there was Toothless! He was curled up laying in the back of the cage very scared. When my dad made his funny meow sound that he does to make him come home, Toothless jumped up and came to the screen and rubbed up against it and was so happy to see my dad, and he wasnt scared anymore. My dad wanted to take him home, but they said he had to go to another office building and pay a fee. The lady at the shelter said it would be OK and told him to come back the next day and we could get Toothless. When my dad came home and told my little brother and me he found Toothless we were so happy and we werent scarred or worried anymore. My dad went back the next day to get our kitty and they told him they didnt have any long-haired black cats. They only had a white fluffy cat. My dad waited a long time for the lady to come back and talk to him. The same lady that told my dad to come back the next day said she was sorry. She had forgotten to leave a note to tell the people my dad would be there for Toothless and they had just killed my cat that morning. She had just forgotten to write a note to save a member of my family. They killed him and I dont know why. My dad found out where he had been picked up and it was our neighbors down the street that dont like cats and dogs. They had caught him in a trap and gave him to the police to take him away. When Devin and I knocked on their door and asked if they had seen Toothless they told us no, and that was a lie. My dad and mom tell me and Devin not to lie and that is right. I didnt think big people lied because they are grown ups and know what is right. Now I dont know what to do. My cat Toothless is dead; the people that killed him didnt even give him to my dad so we could bury him. What do I do now? Rayden Sazama Logan  Editors note: Cache Humane Society Director Brenda Smith confirmed Raydens story that an animal shelter worker forgot to leave a note to halt euthanization of the Sazamas cat.  { The shelter/city should be sued and the employees involved should be fired for cause! }

Indeed, among the rarest breed historically of exceptional american CEO’s, Welch points to the folly of preposterously a month before elections, on paltry/pathetic jobs numbers ( election year temp/part-time for manipulating stats along with the nebulous ‘stopped looking’ fudge factor) , following a disasterous debate showing (of wobama failure and incompetence), the unemployment rate falls to just below the ‘superstitious’ 8.0. If you’re a fool, you’ll buy into what is tantamount to the obama 100% employment fantasy where literally everyone but him has stopped looking for work and hence, not counted in compiling the unemployment rate (and then those jobs in the millions lost and gone forever on his watch - what a banana republic!). Come on, wake up!: JACK WELCH: OBAMA IS MANIPULATING THE JOBS NUMBERS BECAUSE HIS DEBATE PERFORMANCE WAS AWFUL…UNBELIEVABLE JOBS NUMBERS…THESE CHICAGO GUYS WILL DO ANYTHING…CAN’T DEBATE SO CHANGE NUMBERS. }

PAPER: 'THE OBAMA YOU DON'T KNOW'...‘…
But beyond the spin and the polls, a starkly different picture emerges. It is a portrait of a man quite unlike his image, not a visionary reformer but rather a classic Chicago machine pol who thrives on rewarding himself and his friends with the spoils of public office, and who uses his position to punish his enemies. Peter Schweizer captures this other Obama with a bracing statistic in his book "Throw Them All Out," published last year. In the Obama economic stimulus program's Department of Energy loans, companies owned and run by Obama contributors and friends, like Solyndra's George Kaiser, received $16.4 billion. Those not linked to the president got only $4.1 billion. The Energy Department is far from the only federal program in which favoritism has heavily influenced federal grants. To paraphrase Tammany Hall's George Washington Plunkitt, Obama has seen his opportunities and taken them, over and over. - Mark Tapscott / Executive Editor

Just because ‘no-recession-helicopter-ben’ says something, does not mean it’s true (remember that ‘no recession call’ of his; and, of course, no QE before the election, prospectively, already discounted many times over by the ‘markets, such as they are, ie., algo buy programs, etc.. ).  All this and now ‘whatever’ is too little and too late for the uss Titanic which has taken on too much, not water, but b***s***. This was a desperate move, bespeaking desperation.The fact is things are ominously so bad, and worse than ‘allowed’ to be seen for the moment, that something as this QE which is economically and financially contraindicated and a proven failure for all but the frauds on wall street along with their cohorts including desperate politicos, is resorted to in desperation to divert attention from their unequivocal failure. After all, though having cost so many americans their jobs with wrong calls and policies, bernanke is trying to save his own by inflating the markets (along with everything else, ultimately hyperinflationary)  for fellow failure wobama’s sake (wobama rehired failure bernanke, President Romney would have fired, and will fire him … goldman sachs knew this dollar debasing failed policy QE 3 would come and at the expense of the muppets…that’s their term for all you suckers). I further believe this contraindicated largess to the frauds on wall street is to preserve his post fedship tenure job possibilities by ingratiating himself even further with those nefarious, self-serving interest groups. }

ROMNEY: 'Forwarned' is better than 'forward''...  { Sampling some of the network talking head roundtables over the weekend I was astounded how many wobamanoid apologists talked up the dismal, paltry private jobs, many part-time or low-pay, without mention of the record insurmountable $5 trillion increase in the deficit to create them for the purpose of obfuscating wobama’s blatantly failed performance as potus. Such people, either so partisan, so unschooled in the relevant disciplines, so ill-prepared for the journalistic task entrusted to them, literally have no defendable place in the field of real journalism and are an embarrassment to all that journalism purports to be. }

Yet, it cannot be denied that nobody, no news organization, not even a government agency did their homework in vetting this complete and utter fraud called ‘barack obama’! } ‘…After a couple of nights at the Time Warner Cable Arena, the convention was to have closed with President Obama’s acceptance speech at the Bank of America Stadium, where convention officials were planning to squeeze nearly 6,000 seats onto the field to expand the stadium’s capacity beyond its usual 74,000. But the speedway event was canceled — ostensibly because of logistical problems but more likely because convention fundraising was running low. Then the Democrats canceled the stadium event in favor of the smaller arena — ostensibly because of “severe thunderstorm” concerns but more likely because they couldn’t be sure enough people would come to fill the stadium.In fact, the forecast hadn’t called for severe weather, and conditions were fine Thursday night. The change caused thousands to be turned away, and the crush of crowds at the arena led authorities at one point to lock down the building for a second straight night – leaving some delegates on the street while lobbyists enjoyed the proceedings inside…’

The point is that you don’t have to love Romney but you at least have to like yourself in saying ‘NO!’ to more wobama b***s*** which is all that he is. Have some self-respect. His grade is unequivocally ‘F’ for failure, having failed to do as promised which coincidentally is a direct cause among others of this debacle called america’s dark obama years.

There are few physical tasks they do well and even fewer of said available tasks relative to their populations to make a difference. They are a near complete washout in non-physical tasks, are too costly and are bad workers, unproductive generally to employ and not worth the enormous cost and trouble. The very scant few exceptions are statistically insignificant. Niggers belong in jails where they can commit no crimes in general society; plus there’s the savings thereby on their invariably wasted welfare, programs in addition to their predisposed crimes on the outside…It is far cheaper to jail them which is best for civilized society (look at their off the charts crime rates, and that’s only those that are caught! They’ve literally destroyed cities as is so wherever they are in concentrated numbers. These are indisputable facts/truths that civilized societies/governments can no longer afford to deny.) } ...

Dreams also related the tale of Obama's paternal grandfather, Hussein Onyango, who was said to have been detained and tortured in a prison outside Nairobi for six months because of his brave defiance of British colonialists. But after a half-dozen interviews and other research, Maraniss deemed the tale "unlikely."

MCCONNELL: 'Sold to American people on a deception'...

CURL: Gift to Romney...  { This may seem somewhat counterintuitive and a bit of a rationalization; but, it is absolutely true. So true in fact, that wobama will come to be compared to Pyrrhus of Ephyrus (W. Greece) since realization of what this legislation won’t do for americans and the economy and what it actually does will not have the galvanizing effect that striking the bill down would have had on voters who were thinking ‘another free lunch from the government’ will save them (we all now know better, no such thing). Yes, in somewhat European tradition, defacto bankrupt america is keeping up with the (ie., rating agencies Egan) Joneses. After all, we all know how well this European program model is working out for Europe (and any other nation that’s tried it). In the final analysis, this and such programs as the contraindicated bailouts for the unprosecuted frauds on wall street, etc., will prove to be the ‘camel-back breaking’ moment for america; and, a pyrrhic victory for the egregiously failed president wobama.  America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke. There are signs everywhere one looks…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion }

{ Wobama is so pathetic! Sure, sacrifice for the grifter wobamas so they can continue livin’ large on the taxpayer dime while accomplishing nothing except greater public debt to hide his failure. This from the record holder for fundraisers, 151 and counting. Then there’s the 100 plus rounds of golf in addition to being famously over-vacationed while in office. It’s laughable to hear him blame congress for his lack of accomplishments when the reality is that he ‘really wasn’t there’ for any of it. For wobama the presidency is just endless debate, rhetoric, campaigning, vacationing, soundbites from the teleprompted speeches, jive-talk, b***s***, and ‘choom fantasy’. He’s a total fraud and failure and anyone who buys into election-year desperation / promises, etc., is just a fool of the worst kind!   AP: ‘…
THE FACTS: Five Senate Democrats voted against sending the DREAM Act to the Senate floor for full consideration. The bill would have created a path to citizenship for many young illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children. Last week, Obama announced plans to stop deporting illegal immigrants who would have qualified for the DREAM Act. The policy change does not include a path to citizenship…’ Then there’s the other meretricious ‘wobama desperation hail mary’ that once again falls short. Indeed, as an investor, one analyzes earnings, projects prospective earnings over a 3-5 year horizon, and the quality of the earnings along macro economic factors which are affected by ‘political considerations’. Does anyone remember the honorable Ross Perot who warned of NAFTA’s effect on american jobs even as the democrat administration et als were hell-bent on passing same? Should Romney have breached his legal duty to shareholders and invested in companies with poor earnings prospects? After all, in the financial / security analysis step of projecting the income statement, prospective labor costs figure prominently in the bottomline. In sum, Romney took conditions as he found them, and made the prudent choices which as per his legal duty were optimal for those who put their trust in him. For those who put their trust in proven failure wobama, all they have to show for such misplaced trust are broken campaign promises, now insurmountable record deficit spending exceeding all the presidents since Eisenhower combined to obfuscate what clearly has been wobama’s unequivocal failure.  }

Shooter of Florida teen not a racist, lawyer says...
SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

Niggers are a scourge on civilized society wherever they are. Just look around, worldwide, wherever they are, in concentrations particularly; it’s the same nigger story. That’s the way they are. That’s what they are. They are a blight on any neighborhood. They are a blight on any society and an insurmountable burden. They bring any society down. Some will argue, how ‘bout sports?, to which one may reply, ie., just because you go to horse races, doesn’t mean you want to live with horses, or, just because you have monkeys in zoos doesn’t mean you want to live with them, etc., much less cede control and affect over society to them.  ] '

Suspended THREE times for drugs, truancy and graffiti and 'caught carrying a burglary tool': New picture emerges of Trayvon Martin (and did he attack a bus driver too?)

·        Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times in the months before he was shot dead by a neighborhood watchman, it emerged today.

·        The facts, revealed in a leaked report, paint a different picture of a teenager who frequently found himself in trouble with authorities.

·        It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that it is claimed belonged to the teen.

The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a 'burglary tool' - a flathead screwdriver - and 12 pieces of women's jewellery. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.

The other major crimes they do anyway. It’s their nature. You’ll never change the nigger … they evolved only to ‘a point’ and no further.  ] Fairgoers 'pulled out of cars'... 'They were just going after white people'...  Heightened security...  [ I refrained from using the ‘n word’ (or even blacks / negroes) in referring to the culprits in the following two incidents (those tender sensibilities) but I’m sure you’ve guessed that they were niggers and I include same here in light of the foregoing incident (and yes, the victims were white), which is typical. ‘.. while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a “park” - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA’s position with both felonies ( he went to prison – pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of ‘bystander effect’ / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal  / nigger after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal / nigger went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 niggers and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA. But, to be fair and balanced, the RICO litigation involves those uncivilized who consider themselves ‘whites’ http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf  (predominantly but not exclusively jews / romans-italians / mobsters / government slugs). ]

200 Involved In Fights At Mall Of America After Rumors That Rappers Are There...

Miami Heat Players Don Hoodies...
'Dead or Alive' Poster Issued by New Black Panther Party... [ ‘Minority Report’ Division of Pre-Crime, Pre-Cogs say, ‘Dead or Alive – all niggers’ … whatever the outcome in the investigative process, the stark reality is that at least, unlike the niggers committing many more ‘black on white’ violent crimes,  Zimmerman (and this is no endorsement – I won’t be looking at this one incident all that closely) was at least trying to do a good thing made necessary by the ever increasing number of brutal crimes committed by the black thugs in neighborhoods across the nation; then there’s somalian pirates, etc.. People domestically and internationally are suffering from nigger-fatigue and are totally niggered out. Oh, yeah, there are some Hollywood types who feel good about themselves having niggers around and helping niggers to help them feel better than they really are, insecure as they are, by being better than at least someone beyond fantasy. Loony george clooney is one. Dreadfully boring and with that monotone, monotonous voice and not that bright, he’s not even able to fake it on screen as an action hero (ie., batman, what a horrific miscast) wimpy pussy in reality that he is; then there’s the ‘black (sean) penn’ who cried like a baby while incarcerated for a couple of days not that long ago. The atheist jolie, so fatherly troubled as she is, has let the equally mentally troubled pitt (she so nutty she makes him feel somewhat sane though still not too bright) and pendulum ‘backwoods bob’ be the closest she’s gotten to her black projects. Let them live anonomously (in disguise) with the niggers for some time for a real close look and then see what’s left of their predisposed love for the nigger. Then there’s the italian scallion, booby deniro; drug addled as his black wife high-tower, what a total embarrassment to Italians everywhere; even as he tried to ingratiate himself recently with niggers everywhere and particularly national embarrassment mammy michele with the embarrassing pro-nigger first lady remark..   [ Send the niggers back to sub-saharan Africa! ]
'BLACK NIGGERS [ NOT WHITES BY NIGGERS THE IMPLICATION DESPITE FACTUAL DATA TO THE CONTRARY  ] ARE UNDER ATTACK [ SAYS NIGGER SHAKEDOWN ARTIST JACKSON] ' [ Hold on one cotton-pickin’ minute jesse, that’s not what the facts say
Obama: ‘If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.’ [ Yeah! He’d look just like any other nigger. And, don’t worry about the black vote, failed president wobama the b for b***s*** will get nearly if not all, 100% of the nigger vote! Drudgereport:  Farrakhan Threatens 'Retaliation'… [ Retaliation? Can you imagine the number of blacks that would have to be retaliated against based upon the hushed reality of the prevalence of black on white crime? The blacks should be careful what they wish for in playing that game because the facts don’t break in their favor. ] ...

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

The reality is that blacks are an insoluble problem wherever they are.

Not even a word from 0 is worth listening to. That includes those who should supposedly know better. Moreover, self-respect requires that americans reject wobama’s desperate campaign slings, arrows, and desperate entreaties which ignore the reality of his blatant failure in large part owing to his having failed to do as promised last ‘eternal campaign’. Then there’s the threats and intimidation from the niggers who are like ignorant, vicious  animals in lockstep accord with the abject and utter presidential failure obama; yet, such typical ‘clannish’ racism by blacks is virtually ignored and rational opposition to the failure spelled ‘0’ is being cast as racist.

Debates 'diminished' Obama, says Romney "You can boil down what he's saying to four simple words: more of the same," Romney said today in Reno. { I’m truly astounded that after 4 years of b***s***, lies, profligate spending for obfuscation but much vacation, and consequent unequivocal failure, people are even listening to, much less ‘buying’ what wobama desperately says. Not even a word from 0 is worth listening to. That includes those who should supposedly know better. Moreover, self-respect requires that americans reject wobama’s desperate campaign slings, arrows, and desperate entreaties which ignore the reality of his blatant failure in large part owing to his having failed to do as promised last ‘eternal campaign’. Then there’s the threats and intimidation from the niggers who are like ignorant, vicious  animals in lockstep accord with the abject and utter presidential failure obama; yet, such typical ‘clannish’ racism by blacks is virtually ignored and rational opposition to the failure spelled ‘0’ is being cast as racist. How can any nation survive such contraindicated insanity.  I’m truly amazed! }

If obama dont get re-elected & romney wins .. on life every white persons getting pistol whipped and im startin a riot. (SOURCE)

If Obama dont win lets start a riot so Romney know what hes getting himself into. (SOURCE)

This Is Why, To An Economist, QE Refuses To Work  ZeroHedge.com { A very important point/reference is made here infra regarding the reality of grant (bribe) money which is why academics are, though contraindicated in terms of reality and 4 years of failure, backing obama in lock-step legion. Truly pathetic and indicative of decline! True desperation! } There is practical, everyday common sense... and then there is economics. Because when it comes to explaining why a square peg won't fit into a round hole, only an economist will tell you, over and over, that it will eventually happen, one must just tweak the theory a little first, and then reality will promptly follow. And while even economists have enough of a frontal lobe (and realize there is little grant money) to pursue intractable pegs and hole problems, when it comes to the theory at the heart of their beloved Keynesian voodoo religion, namely Quantitative Easing, the answer is always one, and it is very simple: we need more! Yet even economists are not naive enough to not recognize that QE has not worked in any of its 4 previous iterations (logically, as if it had there would be no need for a fifth, open-ended one). Where it gets fun is watching them come up with amusing yet convoluted, involved and outright demented explanations, some even in chart format, why QE keeps on failing. Below, we present just such a graphic explanation which only an economist could love, or care about ,  This Is The Housing Bubble Beneath The "Recovery"  We want to 'believe', we really do; but anyone with any sense (and no skin in the game) can see through the data; the eon-like periods of foreclosure and the drastically reduced supply. No matter how 'bullish' homebuilders are, or how much they dream of a future pickup, calling the recovery (as Bob Shiller recently noted) is just a fool's errand. The truth is, for the average citizen, housing is not recovering - the wealth effect is not creating animal spirits - and we do indeed have more to fear than fear itself. The following 79 second clip from Bloomberg TV should perhaps clarify the 'difference' in demand for housing. Primary residence 'buyers' are down remarkably, while 'investors' are up dramatically - now at pre-crisis bubble levels! Perhaps, as we noted here, Och-Ziff's stepping away from the 'flip-that-house' or 'REO-to-Rental' game is as good an indicator of exuberance as any.  ,  Spain's Regional Bailout Fund: A Drop In A Bucket Of Insolvency  ,  Bill Gross Warns "Very Likely' Central Banks Will Cause 1987-Like Crash

 

 

 

 

The failed banana republic/welfare state of california, for wobama with eyes closed, a corruption/fraud/crime-ridden state desperate to help 4 year failure obama by whatever fraudulent/corrupt means:

‘…Business Insider's Henry Blodget claiming that "Well, we're glad to say that we've finally gotten to the bottom of what happened" and that the state in question is none other than California (supposedly as opposed to Illinois to shut up those wacky conspiracy theorists). Turns out the site known best for its slideshow presentations (which will soon double down as advertisements) may have once again fibbed just a little, following an official demand by none other than California state Employment Development Department direct, Pam Harris (the typical lying nigger), that BI retract its article. To wit: "Reports that California failed to fully report data to the U.S. Department of Labor, as required, are incorrect and irresponsible... It’s unfortunate this ‘reporter’ and others who repeated the article’s erroneous statements chose to speculate rather than report, failing to confirm this information with EDD." Sure enough, the 'reporter' in question replied, and it appears that Business Insider is better informed than California when it comes to matters such as these, and has refused to retract…’

  ‘…The culprit: California. The nation’s most populous state appears to have shown a smaller number of claims than usual two weeks ago. The seeming shortfall was probably made up for in the most recent data. Since California is the state with the highest number of overall claims, it can have a big influence on the weekly U.S. report. The number of people who apply for benefits each week in the Golden State is roughly equal to New York, Texas and Illinois combined.

"Presidential," another told Luntz.

21 Signs That The Global Economic Crisis Is About To Go To A Whole New Level

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com

 

http://albertpeia.com/21signsglobaleconomiccrisisabouttogetmuchworse.htm

 

 The global debt crisis has reached a dangerous new phase.  Unfortunately, most Americans are not taking notice of it yet because most of the action is taking place overseas, and because U.S. financial markets are riding high.  But just because the global economic crisis is unfolding at the pace of a "slow-motion train wreck" right now does not mean that it isn't incredibly dangerous.  As I have written about previously, the economic collapse is not going to be a single event.  Yes, there will be days when the Dow drops by more than 500 points.  Yes, there will be days when the reporters on CNBC appear to be hyperventilating.  But mostly there will be days of quiet despair as the global economic system slides even further toward oblivion.  And right now things are clearly getting worse.  Things in Greece are much worse than they were six months ago.  Things in Spain are much worse than they were six months ago.  The same thing could be said for Italy, France, Japan, Argentina and a whole bunch of other nations.  The entire global economy is slowing down, and we are entering a time period that is going to be incredibly painful for everyone.  At the moment, the U.S. is still experiencing a "sugar high" from unprecedented fiscal and monetary stimulus, but when that "sugar high" wears off the hangover will be excruciating.  Reckless borrowing, spending and money printing has bought us a brief period of "economic stability", but our foolish financial decisions will also make our eventual collapse far worse than it might have been.  So don't think for a second that the U.S. will somehow escape the coming global economic crisis.  The truth is that before this is all over we will be seen as one of the primary causes of the crisis.

The following are 21 signs that the global economic crisis is about to go to a whole new level....

·        #1 Bank of Israel Governor Stanley Fischer says that the global economy is "awfully close" to recession.

·        #2 It was announced last week that the unemployment rate in Greece has reached an all-time high of 25.1 percent.  Unemployment among those 24 years old or younger is now more than 54 percent.  Back in April 2010, the unemployment rate in Greece was only sitting at 11.8 percent.

#3 to #21

GALLUP: WOMEN TURNING AWAY { A new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll of the Swing States shows Mitt Romney with a lead among likely voters as he strengthens his standing with women in the nation's top battlegrounds. }

New Threats to Riot if Obama Loses Election...  [ The threats alone are a reason sufficient for backing President Romney. If left unchecked, the nigger terrorists will be even further emboldened to their already egregious criminal, terroristic ways. No man, woman, or child will be safe if the lethal black cancer grows. The 4 years of O have been complete, utter failure and no amount of wobama b***s*** and nigger intimidation can change that fact! Quite simply, niggers are inherently criminal terrorists: Examples of what people are saying include the following;

If obama dont get re-elected & romney wins .. on life every white persons getting pistol whipped and im startin a riot. (SOURCE)

If Obama dont win lets start a riot so Romney know what hes getting himself into. (SOURCE)

You know you aint shit if you gotta MAKE Mafukas vote for ROMNEY ! . Mannnn OBAMA better get back in office . Or BLACK FOLKS will riot. (SOURCE)

If Romney wins im goin on a rampage. (SOURCE)

If Mitt Romney wins the election I think its our duties as Black folks to riot and fuck shit up. (SOURCE)

If every action IS met with an equal and opposite reaction ..what should workers do to employers if Romneys elected? #Riot in the streets!! (SOURCE)

If Romney becomes president lets all start a riot. (SOURCE)

I Heard Mitt Romney , Tryna Take Away Food Stamps , If He Do .IMA START A RIOT , IMA START A RIOT. (SOURCE)

If romney wins, imma start a mfn riot! Rns. (SOURCE)  ]

Dave’s Daily:  http://www.etfdigest.com  ‘OCTOBER DATA REMAINS QUESTIONED 10-12-12 It’s hard to accept a lot of the data being released lately. Once trust in the data is lost investors will sour on releases for a longer period than you might expect. This began last week Friday with the release of the employment report. Yes, Jack Welch jumped on it as not credible and political. He was dismissed as an old crank. But the data still remained counterintuitive to most. Then came Jobless Claims Thursday recklessly released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) when it was incomplete.

http://ransquawk.com News Headline Summary

Several factors have been attributed to the lower than expected US initial jobless claims number, including the following:

- The US Labor market noted that one state accounted for the entire drop.
- It is the first week of the quarter which historically adds volatility, especially with expectations of a seasonal adjustment.
- Extended benefits rose (+13,802) in the latest week due to the state of NY returning to the program starting Sept 9th.

Update details:

- Although initial upside was seen in US stock futures, most of the move has since been pared as attention paid to these factors.

The data (339K vs 370K expected & prior, as usual, revised higher to 369K from 370K) was later explained by the BLS as a problem with one large state didnt report additional quarterly figures as expected, accounting for a substantial part of the decrease.

Jack Welch: I Was Right About That Strange Jobs Report

WSJ | The 7.8% unemployment figure released by the BLS last week is downright implausible.

{ How pathetic, desperate, corrupt and dishonest is the wobama et als latest manipulation 10-11-12  Kass: " Labor Dept said one large state didnt report additional quarterly figures as expected, accounting for a substantial part of the decrease." }

http://ransquawk.com News Headline Summary

Several factors have been attributed to the lower than expected US initial jobless claims number, including the following:

- The US Labor market noted that one state accounted for the entire drop.
- It is the first week of the quarter which historically adds volatility, especially with expectations of a seasonal adjustment.
- Extended benefits rose (+13,802) in the latest week due to the state of NY returning to the program starting Sept 9th.

Update details:

- Although initial upside was seen in US stock futures, most of the move has since been pared as attention paid to these factors.

{ Ah, yes, says the optimist who sees the opportunity in every calamity and not vice versa. Indeed, President Romneys election based upon american peoples survival instincts and an awakening from the wobama b***s*** slumber of decline will provide the opportunity to incarcerate the niggers who will use such as an excuse to do what theyre inclined/predisposed to do anyway, and in one lawless form or another, are already doing.

The election is nearly four weeks away, and many Obama supporters are already threatening to riot if Obama loses.  The following are some very disturbing messages that were posted on Twitter recently that have been reposted on Twitchy.com....

"If Romney wins I'm Starting a Riot....Who's WIT ME???"

"I Hope The USA Is Well Aware That If In The Event This Character Romney Wins The Election, The People Will Start A Country Wide Riot! #Power"

"If Romney is elected president, its gon be a riot its gon be a riot."

"If ROMNEY GETS IN THE WHITE HOUSE ...U MIGHT AS WELL KILL ME NOW .....CAUSE ITS GONNA BE A ************ RIOT !!!"

"If Romney became President and took away welfare Downtown Cincinnati would become a riot"

"If Romney takes away food stamps 2 Chainzz in this bit IMMA START A RIOT"

"If Romney wins. (which i highly doubt) THERE WILL BE A RIOT"

The following are a few more tweets that I found which threaten a potential riot if Obama loses the election....

From @joecools_world....

"Need 2 come up wit a game plan if Romney win.... Riot all thru Newark"

From @killacate....

"I swear on everything I love if Romney wins ima riot. I don't even care if its just me."

Romney supporters are not really threatening to riot, but many of them are proclaiming that they may leave the country if Obama wins.  Here are some examples....

From @BrentskiTheBoss....

"If Obama gets reelected I may leave the country"

From @AbbieFickes....

"im sorry but if obama were to win again, i might as well leave the country and live in zimbabwe" ( Do us all a favor go and take your black bros/sisses with you! )

Boy writes letter to editor after shelter kills cat...
'Grown-ups killed my kitty'... To the editor: My name is Rayden. I am 8 years old and I live in Logan. Yesterday grown-ups killed my kitty, my best friend, when they werent supposed to. Because I really dont know how to write, my PaPa is writing down the things I think and say. My kittys name is Toothless. When I got him I had just seen How to Train a Dragon at the movies. My kitty looked just like the dragon Toothless with big green eyes and the hair around his head. Toothless, my cat, has long fluffy hair and sleeps on my bed and loved to play with my brother and me. Toothless would let us carry him around all the time. He was our best friend. Last week he didnt come in at night. Sometimes he does that, but this time he didnt come back. After two days my little brother Devin, who is 5, and I went to every house on our street and asked everyone if they had seen Toothless our cat. Everyone said no. We were worried and scared something was wrong. On Wednesday after work my dad went to the animal shelter as it was closing. They didnt want to let him in, but they did. He asked if there was a cat with long black fluffy hair there. They let my dad in to look at the cages, and there was Toothless! He was curled up laying in the back of the cage very scared. When my dad made his funny meow sound that he does to make him come home, Toothless jumped up and came to the screen and rubbed up against it and was so happy to see my dad, and he wasnt scared anymore. My dad wanted to take him home, but they said he had to go to another office building and pay a fee. The lady at the shelter said it would be OK and told him to come back the next day and we could get Toothless. When my dad came home and told my little brother and me he found Toothless we were so happy and we werent scarred or worried anymore. My dad went back the next day to get our kitty and they told him they didnt have any long-haired black cats. They only had a white fluffy cat. My dad waited a long time for the lady to come back and talk to him. The same lady that told my dad to come back the next day said she was sorry. She had forgotten to leave a note to tell the people my dad would be there for Toothless and they had just killed my cat that morning. She had just forgotten to write a note to save a member of my family. They killed him and I dont know why. My dad found out where he had been picked up and it was our neighbors down the street that dont like cats and dogs. They had caught him in a trap and gave him to the police to take him away. When Devin and I knocked on their door and asked if they had seen Toothless they told us no, and that was a lie. My dad and mom tell me and Devin not to lie and that is right. I didnt think big people lied because they are grown ups and know what is right. Now I dont know what to do.

The bill would have created a path to citizenship for many young illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children. Last week, Obama announced plans to stop deporting illegal immigrants who would have qualified for the DREAM Act. The policy change does not include a path to citizenship…’ Then there’s the other meretricious ‘wobama desperation hail mary’ that once again falls short. Indeed, as an investor, one analyzes earnings, projects prospective earnings over a 3-5 year horizon, and the quality of the earnings along macro economic factors which are affected by ‘political considerations’. Does anyone remember the honorable Ross Perot who warned of NAFTA’s effect on american jobs even as the democrat administration et als were hell-bent on passing same? Should Romney have breached his legal duty to shareholders and invested in companies with poor earnings prospects? After all, in the financial / security analysis step of projecting the income statement, prospective labor costs figure prominently in the bottomline. In sum, Romney took conditions as he found them, and made the prudent choices which as per his legal duty were optimal for those who put their trust in him. For those who put their trust in proven failure wobama, all they have to show for such misplaced trust are broken campaign promises, now insurmountable record deficit spending exceeding all the presidents since Eisenhower combined to obfuscate what clearly has been wobama’s unequivocal failure. ]

{ Come on! People have to start calling a spade a spade! O’s just a typical incompetent, jive-talking b***s*** nigger! He is so pathetic and a total embarrassment! }


The following is a sampling of skeptical quotes about this jobs report....

Former GE chief Jack Welch

Unbelievable jobs numbers..these Chicago guys will do anything..can't debate so change numbers

Chapwood Capital Investment Management Managing Partner Ed Butowsky

I feel like I’m watching a movie. There is no way in the world these numbers are accurate.

Neil Irwin of the Washington Post

"Weird that payrolls are exactly on forecast but household survey is far better."

Conn Carroll, senior editorial writer for the Washington Examiner

While it is highly improbable that BLS conspired to cook the books, there is still a huge 756,000 job gap between the number of jobs employers told the Labor Department they created in September (114k), and the number of Americans who told the labor department that they got new jobs (873k).

U.S. Representative Allen West

I agree with former GE CEO Jack Welch, Chicago style politics is at work here. Somehow by manipulation of data we are all of a sudden below 8 percent unemployment, a month from the Presidential election. This is Orwellian to say the least and representative of Saul Alinsky tactics from the book "Rules for Radicals"- a must read for all who want to know how the left strategize . Trust the Obama administration? Sure, and the spontaneous reaction to a video caused the death of our Ambassador......and pigs fly.

Gluskin Sheff's David Rosenberg

That the 7.8 percent jobless rate takes it to the level that prevailed when the President took office in January 2009 has raised many an eyebrow. I don't believe in conspiracy theories. But I don't believe in the Household Survey either. 

This notoriously volatile indicator has become even more so in recent months. It showed a 195K slide in July and a 119K decline in August, to only then reveal a massive 873K surge in September.

Radio host Laura Ingraham

"Jobs #s from Labor Secretary Hilda Solis are total pro-Obama propaganda--labor force participation rate at 30-yr low. Abysmal!"

Americans for Limited Government

"Either the Federal Reserve, which has its fingers on the pulse of every element of the economy, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics manufacturing survey report are grievously wrong or the number used to calculate the unemployment rate are wrong, or worse manipulated. Given that these numbers conveniently meet Obama's campaign promises one month before the election, the conclusions are obvious."

Rick Santelli of CNBC

"I told you they'd get it under 8 percent — they did! You can let America decide how they got there!"

Of course the backlash in the media against skepticism of the jobs report has been very forceful.

Already, those that are doubtful of the legitimacy of the jobs report are being called "truthers" - as if there is something wrong with wanting to know the truth.

Sadly, that is how things work these days.  If you don't like the viewpoint that some people are expressing, you just label them "conspiracy theorists".

And when someone is labeled a "conspiracy theorist", that is code for "that person is so crazy that you should not listen to anything they say".

But the truth is that we live in a world where often people do things that they are not supposed to be doing.

When something rather strange happens, it is not wrong to investigate and try to figure out what is going on.

And this jobs report seems very, very odd.

It sure does seem rather strange that the household survey is showing almost 8 times as many jobs created as the employer survey does.

It sure does seem rather strange that 873,000 more Americans were working in September (the largest increase in 29 years) after decreases in both July and August.

It sure does seem rather strange that the unemployment rate dropped under 8 percent at the exact moment when Barack Obama needed it the most…’

The point is that you don’t have to love Romney but you at least have to like yourself in saying ‘NO!’ to more wobama b***s*** which is all that he is. Have some self-respect. His grade is unequivocally ‘F’ for failure, having failed to do as promised which coincidentally is a direct cause among others of this debacle called america’s dark obama years. All the talk/b***s*** cannot change that reality.   Obama: Biggest mistake too much perspiration, not enough inspiration  [What total b***s***!] { Biggest mistake: too much b***s***, not enough substance; that’s reality, not spin! }  White House on weak jobs report: Don’t ‘read too much’ into it    Olivier Knox, Yahoo! News  { Riiiiight! Sounds like a plan! After all, wobama’s gotten’ by on b***s*** and ‘special consideration’ alone, never having done anything of substance in his entire life. Indeed, even his so-called ‘auto-biographies’ are works of what appear to be ‘choom-gang’ induced fantasies which reveal a psychogenic/dissociative amnesia that works well in the continuing ‘narrative’ devoid of fact on his ‘more b*** s*** campaign trail’ littered with the cowpies of stark reality. People owe themselves and their children more than this grifter’s con which in numbers measures more than the increased deficits of all the presidents since President General Eisenhower combined to obfuscate his unequivocal failure. http://albertpeia.com/10waysobamakillingjobsinamerica.htm    }  Obama Asks People Getting Married To Forgo Gifts...
Donate To His Campaign Instead...
[ Wobama is so pathetic! Sure, sacrifice for the grifter wobamas so they can continue livin’ large on the taxpayer dime while accomplishing nothing except greater public debt to hide his failure. This from the record holder for fundraisers, 151 and counting. Then there’s the 100 plus rounds of golf in addition to being famously over-vacationed while in office. It’s laughable to hear him blame congress for his lack of accomplishments when the reality is that he ‘really wasn’t there’ for any of it. For wobama the presidency is just endless debate, rhetoric, campaigning, vacationing, soundbites from the teleprompted speeches, jive-talk, b***s***, and ‘choom fantasy’. He’s a total fraud and failure and anyone who buys into election-year desperation / promises, etc., is just a fool of the worst kind!   AP: ‘…
THE FACTS: Five Senate Democrats voted against sending the DREAM Act to the Senate floor for full consideration. The bill would have created a path to citizenship for many young illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children. Last week, Obama announced plans to stop deporting illegal immigrants who would have qualified for the DREAM Act. The policy change does not include a path to citizenship…’ Then there’s the other meretricious ‘wobama desperation hail mary’ that once again falls short. Indeed, as an investor, one analyzes earnings, projects prospective earnings over a 3-5 year horizon, and the quality of the earnings along macro economic factors which are affected by ‘political considerations’. Does anyone remember the honorable Ross Perot who warned of NAFTA’s effect on american jobs even as the democrat administration et als were hell-bent on passing same? Should Romney have breached his legal duty to shareholders and invested in companies with poor earnings prospects? After all, in the financial / security analysis step of projecting the income statement, prospective labor costs figure prominently in the bottomline. In sum, Romney took conditions as he found them, and made the prudent choices which as per his legal duty were optimal for those who put their trust in him. For those who put their trust in proven failure wobama, all they have to show for such misplaced trust are broken campaign promises, now insurmountable record deficit spending exceeding all the presidents since Eisenhower combined to obfuscate what clearly has been wobama’s unequivocal failure. ]

Bernankes high wire act has no guarantee of success. At the same time its worked before to drive up stock prices. This seems to be what his main objective is and confirmed as it were by Bloomberg. But how many times can you go to the well with this stuff? Thats the question. Stocks are trying to rise and are dueling with poor economic data from China and the eurozone not to mention what should be poor upcoming earnings news.Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) warned today earnings as the overall PC business is in trouble with weak demand.Economic data from the U.S. included ISM Services data (55.1 vs 53.5 expected & prior 53.7). Comically the person responsible (Nieves) at ISM said hard to pinpoint the reason for the gain in the index. Embedded within the data were higher prices paid and the employment component weakened (51.5 vs prior 53.8). The usually unreliable ADP Employment Report rose (162K vs 140K expected & prior revised lower to 189K vs 201K). Investors found the data overall less than thrilling but lets face it QE3 rules for now.Thursday is Jobless Claims again and then Fridays all-important Employment Report. Also well see what impact if any the first presidential debate provided. 

In commodity markets oil (USO) plunged, not so much on inventory issues as was feared, but more about future demand prospects. (Crude Oil Inventories -.5M BBLs vs -2.4M BBLs previously) doesn’t mean there’s a build in inventories particularly.In other news it was reported that Chelsea Clinton has left her job on Wall Street { Difficult to imagine with bill and hill her endowing (genetically) parents, but I personally think she is a good person and couldn’t possibly imagine wall street as a suitable place for her; even to get ‘her feet wet’. }  to search for more meaning in her no doubt wretched life.

The ECB – EUR22 Trillion Is Missing  Zero Hedge | Think of it; twenty-two trillion dollars worth of assets and liabilities and accounted for nowhere.

Via Mark J. Grant, author of Out of the Box,

The ECB: The Missing Assets/Liabilities

“To treat your facts with imagination is one thing, but to imagine your facts is another.”

-John Burroughs

Yesterday I published the assets/liabilities of the European Central Bank as provided by them. I provided some analysis that I thought was relevant as I also asked all of you to look at the numbers yourself. To be quite open; I was stunned by the data they provided and shocked by the implications. I had not seen the data in any other source or commented about by anyone and the subject, while admittedly complex, and perhaps made more complex by design, is a huge wake-up call for anyone investing in Europe.

The ECB lists, as of the end of the 1st quarter of 2012, 16.304 trillion Euros ($ 21.032 trillion) in assets and 17.334 trillion Euros ($22.631 trillion) in liabilities. It is right there in black and white as I showed in the ECB provided data that I presented yesterday. However when you get to their consolidated balance sheet you find the numbers they bandy about in public to be a ledger of 3.240 trillion Euros ($4.00 trillion) and you catch your breath and pause. Utilizing normal American accounting practices this variance would be impossible and yet here it is; staring us all right in the face.

“Europe has put a ‘stop payment’ on our reality check!”

-The Wizard

I can report that I did hear from a number of large institutions yesterday that also looked at the numbers themselves and were stunned. Conversations were held, questions were asked and I think an accurate summation of the conversations was that everyone was in some state or another of astonishment. The numbers were not my numbers after all and while many good issues were raised in terms of how to properly analyze the data that was presented there was a clear sense that we were being duped by the European Central Bank and played for suckers.

“Reality is the leading cause of stress amongst those in touch with it.”

-Jane Wagner

Forget that the liabilities are greater than the assets and forget that that both have increased rather appreciably in the last several years and just concentrate on the size of the numbers presented and then ask the central questions; who is responsible for these assets and liabilities and where are they counted? We know that they are not counted at the ECB as they are not a part of their consolidated balance sheet. You may ask how this is possible and I re-print, once again, the applicable note from the ECB:

Recognition of assets and liabilities

An asset or liability is only recognized in the Balance Sheet when it is probable that any associated future economic benefit will flow to or from the ECB, substantially all of the associated risks and rewards have been transferred to the ECB, and the cost or value of the asset or the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

So there is the rationale, like it or not, but then where are these assets/liabilities counted? We are talking about $21.032 trillion in assets here and $22.631 trillion in liabilities which are larger numbers that all of the GDP of Europe. We can surmise that the ECB does not count these loans, securitizations and collateral as they belong to a given nation or a bank guaranteed by the nation or the securitization is guaranteed by some country but the rub is the country doesn’t count them either. When a European nation reports out its debt to GDP ratio I knew that they did not count contingent liabilities and I knew that government backed bank bonds were not included and I knew that regional debt guaranteed by the government was not included but this, and the sheer size of it, had lain underneath everyones radar.

Think of it; twenty-two trillion dollars worth of assets and liabilities and accounted for nowhere. No need to worry anymore about Target2; a mere tuppence at one trillion dollars, a decimal point. Just exactly what these assets and liabilities might be is anyones guess. Just which nations generated them is also anyones guess as no data or explanation is provided. Just what any countrys real debt to GDP ratio might be if these assets/liabilities were included in the equation is also anyones guess but I think it is safe to assume that the numbers would be off the charts; far off the charts.

“Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.”

-Sigmund Freud

You know, these are not blue fairies or gnomes or elves that have gone missing. These are twenty-two trillion dollars ($22 trillion) of loans and securitizations and mortgages that are found and accountable for by no one. These are real assets and real liabilities that have been turned into cash by the ECB and it causes me to wonder just how accurate the Money Supply numbers are for Europe with this amount of cash being pumped into the system. I also wonder what anyones real balance sheet looks like and I wonder what kinds of losses are being incurred and by whom. To be quite forthright, and in my opinion, this seems to me not just the rigging of the game or the gaming of the system but something far past that; something out beyond the realm of the credible and of real world experiences.

This is what we are investing in when we buy European bonds? This is where we are putting our clients money? I dont know; they may have gone mad but I have not.

Have you?

“An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.”

Proof Positive Than Central Banks and Central Planning Fail   http://albertpeia.com/proofofcentralbankplanningfailure.htm ‘Regarding the recent Central Bank coordinated intervention, the key take-away point is that the ECB and US Federal Reserve attempted “shock and awe” tactics with their latest announcements by throwing out words such as “unlimited” and “open-ended.”The implication here was that the Central Banks would do everything they could to prop up the financial markets. However, as has been the case with every Central Bank intervention, there are unintended consequences (ie., inflation, stagflation, etc.). The first unintended consequence concerns the fact that both programs are essentially a form of “intervention to infinite.” The problem with this is that the primary driver of stock prices over the last three years has been the anticipation of more monetary stimulus from Central Banks.Indeed, the New York Fed itself has openly admitted that were it to remove the market moves that occurred around Fed FOMC meetings (the times when the Fed announced new programs or hinted at doing so), the S&P 500 would be at 600 today.So, by announcing programs that will be on going in nature, both the ECB and the Fed have removed the anticipation of future Central Bank intervention from investors’ psychologies. This could become highly problematic, especially if these latest announcements turn out to be duds.Speaking of which…Spain’s ten-year bond yield has broken back above 6%. To see Spain’s sovereign bond yields rising like this after the ECB announced it would essentially provide “unlimited” buying as support is simply stunning. And it indicates in plain terms that the ECB’s program was in fact a dud.In other news, we find that even barely literate high school students have a better understanding of job creation than Washington.In case you missed it, recently the US public school system has implemented a series of reforms to mandate what students should eat based on a healthier diet.The program was spearheaded by First Lady Michelle Obama, who, despite not being a nutritionist or having any sort of medical degree, has decided she knows what’s best for children in terms of their diets.As a result of the reforms, the cost of school lunches has risen by $0.20-$0.25 per plate. And students don’t like it. In fact, many of them have begun protesting the reforms saying that they’re hungry and the food portions are not enough…’    ,   Why Does Our Society Look Down On Unemployed Men So Much?   http://albertpeia.com/uslooksdownonunemployedmen.htm

While most of America is suffering through one the worst economic downturns in U.S. history, the Obamas are living the high life at your expense.  During 2011, U.S. taxpayers spent an astounding 1.4 billion dollars on the Obamas.  Meanwhile, British taxpayers only spent 57.8 million dollars on the entire royal family.  Does anyone else see something wrong with this picture?  So where did the 1.4 billion dollars go?  That money paid the salaries of their staff members, it paid for their transportation and housing costs, it paid for entertainment and vacations for the Obamas, and $102,000 was even spent on a "dog handler" for the family dog Bo.  In his new book entitled "Presidential Perks Gone Royal: Your Taxes Are Being Used For Obama's Re-election", author Robert Keith Gray reveals some absolutely shocking details about the enormous amounts of U.S. taxpayer money that are being (Read More....)

There is No Engine For Global Growth Pt 3 (the US) September 26, 2012 http://gainspainscapital.com  http://albertpeia.com/theresnoengineforglobalgrowth3.htm  Click Here! {  I feel compelled to add here what I felt was more than just a leap of faith by Mr. Summers who has in a recent public issue stated that he believes the biggest frauds on wall street will be brought to justice. Wow! That’s really all I can say. The next thing he might say is that pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america et als, along with the manipulated fraudulent securities markets, are legitimate. Wow! In his fact-filled renderings, focus more on Mr. Summer’s facts, fact-based inferences and conclusions, and less on his unsupportable opinions as, ie., prosecutions of the biggest wall street frauds are acomin’, or that meaningfully lawless america’s suddenly grown scruples. Wow! } ‘In the last few days weve assessed how both China and Europe are no longer engines for global growth. So what about the US? By all counts, the latest ISM (a measure of manufacturing in the US) was a complete and total disaster. In August the ISM hit 49. Anything below 50 is considered a recessionary rating.However, things are even worse below the surface. The ISM is made up of several components. Its Production component is back to May 2009 levels. The New Orders component is back to April 2009 levels.And worse of all, Prices Paid is up to 54, up from a reading of just 39 in July. In simple terms this tells us that inflation is hitting lift off in the US at the very same time that we are entering a recession that could be on par with that of 2008. And with corn and soybean prices at or near record highs, we could be on the verge of a stagflationary disaster combined with a food crisis at the very same time. We get additional confirmation of a major economic contraction from corporate earnings. Recently weve seen earnings forecast cuts from Fed Ex, Bed Bath and Beyond, Proctor and Gamble, Adobe, Starbucks, McDonalds and more.  Indeed, when you remove financials, S&P 500 earnings FELL year over year for 2Q12. This is hardly indicative of a strong economy. The fact a record number of Americans are on food stamps doesnt bode well either. And the Rasmussen Employment Index indicates worker confidence is at levels not seen since the FALL OF 2008!  All of this, combined with the following:

1)   Median income today is lower than it was during at the end of 2009 (when the recession supposedly ended)

2)   The percentage of Americans on food stamps has increased from 11% to nearly 15%

3)   The average unemployment duration has increased from 30 weeks to nearly 40 weeks

4)   The civilian employment to population ratio hasnt budged

5)   Industrial production has yet to exceed its former peak (a first in post WW-II recoveries)

And this has happened despite the Fed’s massive intervention in the markets/economy…’ ,  Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com    EUROZONE CONTAGION RETURNS TO MARKETS

Less Than Expected 31,000 New Homes Sold In August; Dent "Recovery" Meme

Moments ago, the Census Bureau released the August new single-family house sales number: at 373,000 on an annualized basis, it missed expectations of a rise to 380,000, and was down from a revised 374,000. This is only the second miss in 2012, and confirms that all talk of a housing recovery is misguided, and merely represents one particular segment of the housing market: that of existing home sales where buyers have all cash, are price indiscriminate, and are willing to take advantage of the NAR's exemptions from anti-money laundering provisions. I.e., US real estate is merely a place to park cash for those who have obtained it using questionable means. Looking at the number on a non-SAAR basis reveals that only 31,000 actual houses sold in August, of which 3,000 in the Northeast: surely a reason to keep on bidding up the builders into the stratosphere: fear not, actual sales will come. Eventually. Finally, and demonstrating that rich buyers focus primarily on dumping money into existing mansions, was the distribution of purchases by price bucket, which showed a (Z), or under 500 houses sold, in the $750,000+ category. This was the first time there was a (Z) in this bucket since February.

From 1980 to 2000, the US was generally rated the third freest economy in the world, ranking behind only Hong Kong and Singapore. The ranking of the US has fallen precipitously; from second in 2000 to eighth in 2005 and 19th in 2010. By 2009, the United States had fallen behind Switzerland, Canada, Australia, Chile, and Mauritius, countries that chose not to follow the path of massive growth in government financed by borrowing that is now the most prominent characteristic of US fiscal policy. By 2010, the United States had also fallen behind Finland and Denmark, two European welfare states. Moreover, it now trails Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Estonia, Taiwan, and Qatar. The Fraser Institute's massive volume on the Economic Freedom Of The World - based on the following five factors: Size of Government, Legal System & Property Rights, Sound Money, Freedom to Trade Internationally, and Regulation - covers 42 variables with the goal of quantifying the key ingredients of economic freedom.

Maybe we should learn a little bit more before deciding whether or not to bomb Iran?

Especially since the U.S. has been claiming for more than 30 years that Iran was on the verge of nuclear capability, and top American and Israeli defense and intelligence bosses say that bombing Iran will only increase the odds that Iran will actually build a nuclear weapon?

Postscript:   Iran obviously has problems and is far from perfect.  But given the tidal wave of propaganda in the news which is doing everything possible to demonize the enemy to justify war, we think it is valuable to provide some balance and perspective.

Gold And Silver Trump US Equities In Q3 And Year-To-Date  ,  Will Nasdaq Be The Next Casualty Of The SEC's Anti-Latency Arbitrage Push?  Back in 2009 Zero Hedge was first the only, and shortly thereafter, one of very few non-conformist voices objecting to pervasive high frequency trading and other type of quantitative market manipulation in the form of Flash Trading (which has recently reemerged in yet another form of frontrunning known as "Hide not Slide" practices) quote stuffing, and naturally latency arbitrage: one of the most subversive means to rob the less than sophisticated investor blind, due to an illegal coordination between market markers, exchanges and regulators, which effectively encouraged a two-tier market (one for the ultra fast frontrunning professionals, and one for everyone else). A week ago we were amused to see that the SEC charged the NYSE with a wristslap, one for $5 million dollars and where the NYSE naturally neither admitted nor denied guilt, accusing it of doing precisely what we said it, and all others, had been doing for years: namely getting paid by wealthy traders, those using the prop data feed OpenBook Ultra and other paid systems, to create and perpetuate a two-tiered market, all the while the regulator, i.e., the SEC was paid to look the other way. This action was nothing but a desperate, and futile, attempt to regain some investor confidence in the market. It has failed, and since said "enforcement" action has done nothing to restore confidence, expect to see more exchanges slapped with fines for actively perpetuating latency arbitrage opportunities for "some" clients. Well, since the SEC will be desperate to come up with more means of "restoring credibility" of both the market and its regulator, another exchange it may want to look at is the NASDAQ, which as Nanex demonstrates, may well have been engaging in comparable (most likely not pro-bono) latency arbitrage benefiting some: those paying for its direct feed aka TotalView, and thus not harming others, or those relying on the Consolidated Feed (UQDF) for data dissemination. 

 

On Santelli's Queasiness About Bernanke's Quantitative-EasinessBetween CNBC's Rick Santelli and PIMCO's Mohammed El-Erian, this brief clip succinctly sums up the 'less than ideal' reality of Bernanke's all-in bet and how the world is trying to 'trade' it. Santelli analogizes: "Visualize the biggest fire hose in the world, 20 miles away from a little Geranium plant? Now this hose is going and going and going, and ultimately, that Geranium plant gets a little bit of water but everything around it and leading up to it for miles around is just underwater. That's QE, in my opinion." To which El-Erian retorts: "at what point do you tell investors stop focusing on the benefits and make the collateral damage the investment theme?" It seems, given gold's outperformance, that this is exactly what is occurring as the hose-pipe's flood spills out everywhere.

 

Art Cashin And Dick Fisher Expose The Farce That America's Corrupt And Bought Congress Has Become Dick Fisher speaks: "Just recently, in a hearing before the Senate, your senator and my Harvard classmate, Chuck Schumer, told Chairman Bernanke, You are the only game in town.” I thought the chairman showed admirable restraint in his response. I would have immediately answered, “No, senator, you and your colleagues are the only game in town. For you and your colleagues, Democrat and Republican alike, have encumbered our nation with debt, sold our children down the river and sorely failed our nation. Sober up. Get your act together. Illegitimum non carborundum; get on with it. Sacrifice your political ambition for the good of our countryfor the good of our children and grandchildren. For unless you do so, all the monetary policy accommodation the Federal Reserve can muster will be for naught."

 

 

Presenting: President Inflation  regarding wobama/bernanke QE/currency debasement It seems implicitly that Meyer Rothschild's famous quote: "Let me control a peoples' currency and I care not who makes their laws" has never been more true. Or perhaps, the odds can be gamed to become self-confirming (just as with HFT in stocks) - especially given the volume surge?

Indeed, even his so-called ‘auto-biographies’ are works of what appear to be ‘choom-gang’ induced fantasies which reveal a psychogenic/dissociative amnesia that works well in the continuing ‘narrative’ devoid of fact on his ‘more b*** s*** campaign trail’ littered with the cowpies of stark reality. People owe themselves and their children more than this grifter’s con which in numbers measures more than the increased deficits of all the presidents since President General Eisenhower combined to obfuscate his unequivocal failure. http://albertpeia.com/10waysobamakillingjobsinamerica.htm    }  Obama Asks People Getting Married To Forgo Gifts...
Donate To His Campaign Instead...
[ Wobama is so pathetic! Sure, sacrifice for the grifter wobamas so they can continue livin’ large on the taxpayer dime while accomplishing nothing except greater public debt to hide his failure. This from the record holder for fundraisers, 151 and counting. Then there’s the 100 plus rounds of golf in addition to being famously over-vacationed while in office. It’s laughable to hear him blame congress for his lack of accomplishments when the reality is that he ‘really wasn’t there’ for any of it. For wobama the presidency is just endless debate, rhetoric, campaigning, vacationing, soundbites from the teleprompted speeches, jive-talk, b***s***, and ‘choom fantasy’. He’s a total fraud and failure and anyone who buys into election-year desperation / promises, etc., is just a fool of the worst kind!   AP: ‘…
THE FACTS: Five Senate Democrats voted against sending the DREAM Act to the Senate floor for full consideration. The bill would have created a path to citizenship for many young illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children. Last week, Obama announced plans to stop deporting illegal immigrants who would have qualified for the DREAM Act. The policy change does not include a path to citizenship…’ Then there’s the other meretricious ‘wobama desperation hail mary’ that once again falls short. Indeed, as an investor, one analyzes earnings, projects prospective earnings over a 3-5 year horizon, and the quality of the earnings along macro economic factors which are affected by ‘political considerations’. Does anyone remember the honorable Ross Perot who warned of NAFTA’s effect on american jobs even as the democrat administration et als were hell-bent on passing same? Should Romney have breached his legal duty to shareholders and invested in companies with poor earnings prospects? After all, in the financial / security analysis step of projecting the income statement, prospective labor costs figure prominently in the bottomline. In sum, Romney took conditions as he found them, and made the prudent choices which as per his legal duty were optimal for those who put their trust in him. For those who put their trust in proven failure wobama, all they have to show for such misplaced trust are broken campaign promises, now insurmountable record deficit spending exceeding all the presidents since Eisenhower combined to obfuscate what clearly has been wobama’s unequivocal failure. ]

Barack Obama has been President for 30 months—2-1/2 years. He spent the first year obsessed with passing Obamacare, a program that doesn’t create jobs, but might destroy a lot of them.  He “bailed out” GM, but many believe that his interference didn’t save GM; it merely cost taxpayers an extra $15-20 billion, and stole from legitimate investors to buy off the UAW.  His broken campaign promises are too numerous to list…’).

Obama: 'We get Virginia, we win' { Well there you go….it’s now a one state Presidential race, winner take all…Wow!...The scary thing is that wobama seems to believe his own b***s***, even when he knows same to be false; as, ie., Dreams, etc.. Another choom gang fantasy? He really insults people’s intelligence. I personally believe, and strong case can be made, that wobama, like fellow chitown pol jackson, jr., suffers from psychological disorder(s). Indeed, at the least, from psychogenic/dissociative amnesia that makes the aforementioned facts beyond the grasp of his ‘current unreality’. I also believe that his heavy near everyday powerful pot (choom) use took its toll on his cognitive functions that have facilitated his outlandish claims and outright fabrications; exactly what the nation cannot afford in these critical/perilous times! }

 

 

Obama Blames GOP for Inability to Pass Immigration Reform { Riiiiight! Along with all wobama’s other broken campaign promises, some within his executive branch exclusive control, ie., those promised prosecutions of the biggest wall street frauds that never came, etc.. Always somebody else’s fault according to wobama the no accountability man, who motto is the debased buck stops with anyone but him. How pathetic! }

But beyond the spin and the polls, a starkly different picture emerges. It is a portrait of a man quite unlike his image, not a visionary reformer but rather a classic Chicago machine pol who thrives on rewarding himself and his friends with the spoils of public office, and who uses his position to punish his enemies. Peter Schweizer captures this other Obama with a bracing statistic in his book "Throw Them All Out," published last year. In the Obama economic stimulus program's Department of Energy loans, companies owned and run by Obama contributors and friends, like Solyndra's George Kaiser, received $16.4 billion. Those not linked to the president got only $4.1 billion. The Energy Department is far from the only federal program in which favoritism has heavily influenced federal grants. To paraphrase Tammany Hall's George Washington Plunkitt, Obama has seen his opportunities and taken them, over and over. - Mark Tapscott / Executive Editor

Forget About QE… I’m Worried About UC

 

http://albertpeia.com/qeconsequences.htm

 

Lets just be blunt here.

Inflation is back in a big way. Its not going to show up in the official numbers, but if youve paid for gas or food or healthcare recently, youve no doubt noticed that:

A)   Things are a lot more expensive

B)   You get way less bang for your buck (food packages are shrinking while prices remain the same)

This has been the case for some time now. However, the Feds QE 3 program, combined with the ECBs OMT program, (both of which are open ended or unlimited in scope), have taken things to a whole new level.

Which is why we need to be concerned not with QE, but with UC: Unintended Consequences.

The Fed is largely composed of academics with little if any professional/ banking experience. These are people who use flawed data (case in point, the inflation measures in the US are a joke) to build models that they believe explain how reality works.

Setting aside the math and intelligence used to build these models, pure common sense begs the question, how can someone whos never worked in the real world, build a model to explain reality?

The simple fact is that they cant which is why the Feds policies have and will continue to unleash a slew of Unintended Consequences.

For instance, QE 2, which saw the Fed spending $600 billion, pushed food prices to record highs, kicking off a wave of riots and civil unrest throughout the Middle East.

So what will QE 3 bring?

The short answer is: nothing pretty. Gas and food prices were already high before the Fed announced QE 3. They will be going much higher in the future (Oil is currently falling based on Saudi Arabia working with the US Government to suppress prices).

Higher inflation means higher operating costs for corporations. Corporate managers (folks with real world experience) will adjust accordingly, most likely by firing people.

Which pushes unemployment even higher.

This is just one example of the slew of Unintended Consequences were going to be facing as a result of the Feds actions. Ive detailed several more (all of them far worse than this) in my latest issue of Private Wealth Advisory, published just last night…’

PAPER: 'THE OBAMA YOU DON'T KNOW'...‘…
But beyond the spin and the polls, a starkly different picture emerges. It is a portrait of a man quite unlike his image, not a visionary reformer but rather a classic Chicago machine pol who thrives on rewarding himself and his friends with the spoils of public office, and who uses his position to punish his enemies. Peter Schweizer captures this other Obama with a bracing statistic in his book "Throw Them All Out," published last year. In the Obama economic stimulus program's Department of Energy loans, companies owned and run by Obama contributors and friends, like Solyndra's George Kaiser, received $16.4 billion. Those not linked to the president got only $4.1 billion. The Energy Department is far from the only federal program in which favoritism has heavily influenced federal grants. To paraphrase Tammany Hall's George Washington Plunkitt, Obama has seen his opportunities and taken them, over and over. - Mark Tapscott / Executive Editor

From Sky News: "The worst drought in the US for almost a century, combined with droughts in South America and Russia, have hit the production of crops used in animal feed - such as corn and soybeans - especially hard, the report said. As a result farmers have begun slaughtering more pigs and cattle, temporarily increasing the meat supply - but causing a steep rise in the price of meat in the long-term as production slows. "Farmers producing meat are simply not making enough money at the moment because of the high cost of feed," Nick Higgins, commodity analyst at Rabobank, told Sky News. "As a result they will reduce their stock - both by slaughtering more animals and by not replacing them." Somewhat ironically. food prices are now being kept at depressed prices as the "slaughtered" stock clears the market. However once that is gone look for various food-related prices to soar: a process which will likely take place in early 2013, just in time to add to the shock from the Fiscal Cliff, which even assuming a compromise, will detract from the spending capacity of US (and by implication global) consumers.  ,  Guest Post: The Trouble With Printing Money  ,  ECB Debasement Is Akin To Work Of Devil Risk Of Rapid Currency Depreciation  ,  August Housing Starts Less Than Expected, Rise From Downward Revised Print  ,  JPY10 Trillion Intervention Half-Life: 5 Hours; Full Fade: 9 Hours  ,  Chinese Protesters Chant "Down With US Imperialists", Attack Car Of US Ambassador In Beijing

However, when a 10 ounce 999.9 gold bar bearing the stamp of the reputable Swiss Produits Artistiques Métaux Précieux (PAMP, with owner MTP) and a serial number (serial #038892, likely rehypothecated in at least 10 gold ETFs across the world but that's a different story), mysteriously emerges in the heart of the world's jewerly district located on 47th street in Manhattan, things get real quick. Moments ago, Myfoxny reported that a 10-ounce gold bar costing nearly $18,000 turned out to be a counterfeit. The discovery was made by the dealer Ibrahim Fadl, who bought the PAMP bar in question from a merchant who has sold him real gold before. "But he heard counterfeit gold bars were going around, so he drilled into several of his gold bars worth $100,000 and saw gray tungsten -- not gold. The bar was filled with tungsten, which weighs nearly the same as gold but costs just over a dollar an ounce

 

 

 

Head Of MF Global Equity Derivatives Trading Launches Hedge Fund  Several weeks ago we learned that 2011's vaporizer extraordinaire Jon Corzine is contemplating starting his own hedge fund: presumably one that invests all its capital in Italian 2 year bonds, charges 2 and 20, and then disappears when all LP capital blows up in an AUM supernova. Today, we learn that the stigma freeze associated with all other former MF Global trading whizkids has officially melted, as the former head of equity derivatives of MF Global has just launched a new hedge fund.

 

Some Shocking Perspectives On Inflation And Currency Destruction By None Other Than The Federal Reserve  Going back to the FOMC's own archives reveals some truly stunning disclosures arising from none other than the Federal Reserve on the topics of inflation, currency "debauching", money creation, and what it would take for the Communists and Stalin to win. "I agree with you entirely that the Soviet dictators would like to bring about our economic collapse and, as you know, inflation is perhaps the greatest force for arraying the various sectors of a capitalistic economy against each other. John Maynard Keynes stated in his 'Economic Consequences of the Peace' (1919): 'Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency...Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of Society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.'"  ,  The Fed's Financial Repression 'Game'

How China's Rehypothecated "Ghost" Steel Just Vaporized, And What This Means For The World Economy  Zerohedge.com  One of the key stories of 2011 was the revelation, courtesy of MF Global, that no asset in the financial system is "as is", and instead is merely a copy of a copy of a copy- rehypothecated up to an infinite number of times (if domiciled in the UK) for one simple reason: there are not enough money-good, credible assets in existence, even if there are more than enough 'secured' liabilities that claim said assets as collateral. And while the status quo is marching on, the Ponzi is rising, and new liabilities are created, all is well; however, the second the system experiences a violent deleveraging and the liabilities have to be matched to their respective assets as they are unwound, all hell breaks loose once the reality sets in that each asset has been diluted exponentially. Naturally, among such assets are not only paper representations of securities, mostly stock and bond certificates held by the DTC's Cede & Co., but physical assets, such as bars of gold held by paper ETFs such as GLD and SLV. In fact, the speculation that the physical precious metals in circulation have been massively diluted has been a major topic of debate among the precious metal communities, and is the reason for the success of such physical-based gold and silver investment vehicles as those of Eric Sprott. Of course, the "other side" has been quite adamant that this is in no way realistic and every ounce of precious metals is accounted for. While that remains to be disproven in the next, and final, central-planner driven market crash, we now know that it is not only precious metals that are on the vaporization chopping block: when it comes to China, such simple assets as simple steel held in inventories, apparently do not exist.   ,  It's Just Getting Stupid!  As Cantor's Peter Cecchini notes today "when things are this senseless, a reversion to sensibility will occur again at some point." His view is to be long vol and as the disconnect between the economic cycle and stocks continues to grow, we present three mind-numbing charts of the exuberant hopefulness that is now priced in (oh yeah, aside from AAPL actually selling some iPhones in pre-order). Whether it is earnings hockey-sticks, global growth ramps, or fiscal cliff resolutions, it seems the market can only see the silver-lining. We temper that extreme bullish view with the fact that all the monetary policy good news has to be out now - for Ben hath made it so with QEternity.  ,  Goldman On The Fiscal Cliff: Worse Before It Gets Better  As we have explained recently, the US fiscal cliff is a far more important issue 'fundamentally' than the Fed's economic impotence. While most market participants believe some kind of compromise will be reached - in the lame-duck session but not before the election - the possibility of a 3.5% drag on GDP growth is dramatic to say the least in our new normal stagnation. As Goldman notes, the window to address the fiscal cliff ahead of the election has all but closed, the 40% chance of a short-term extension of most current policies is only marginally better than the probability they assign to 'falling off the cliff' at 35%. The base case assumptions and good, bad, and ugly charts of what is possible are concerning especially when a recent survey of asset managers assigned only a 17% chance of congress failing to compromise before year-end. Critically, and not helped by Bernanke's helping hand (in direct opposition to his hopes), resolution of the fiscal cliff will look harder, not easier, to address as we approach the end of the year - and its likely only the market can dictate that direction - as the "consequence is terrible, but bad enough to force a deal,  Faber: Own Gold Dont Store It In The U.S., The Fed Will Take It Away From You One Day

Egan-Jones downgrades U.S. rating on QE3 move  By Wallace Witkowski

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Egan-Jones Ratings Co. said Friday it downgraded its U.S. sovereign rating to AA- from AA on concerns that the Fed's new round of quantitative easing, or QE3, will hurt the U.S. economy. The ratings agency said the Fed's plan of buying $40 billion in mortgage-backed securities a month and keeping interest rates near zero does little to raise GDP, reduces the value of the dollar, and raises the price of commodities. "From 2006 to present, the US's debt to GDP rose from 66% to 104% and will probably rise to 110% a year from today under current circumstances; the annual budget deficit is 8%," Egan-Jones said in a note. "In comparison, Spain has a debt to GDP of 68.5% and an annual budget deficit of 8.5%."

Stocks Are Not Cheap  ZeroHedge.com  9-14-12Valuations; stocks are cheap; money-on-the-sidelines; everyone's bearish; trend is your friend. We've all heard them and we've all played them but the following charts from Morgan Stanley will at least provide some nuance of sense for those stunned into silence by a market seeing its nominal price surging amid Bernanke blowing bubbles. The headline is - with real rates this low (and staying low for a few more years yet) current P/E multiples are extremely high and even on a long-run empirical basis, hope remains excessive at 22xShiller P/E versus an average 16x. Remember, a long-term investment is a short-term trade gone bad. But it seems for now that you buy because you'll always be able to sell it back higher to the next smarter dumber greater fool.

Guest Post: We Need a New Stock Market

On This Week In History, Gas Prices Have Never Been Higher  ,  Egan Jones Downgrades US From AA To AA-  From Egan-Jones, which downgraded the US for the first time ever last July, two weeks ahead of S&P: "Up, up, and away - the FED's QE3 will stoke the stock market and commodity prices, but in our opinion will hurt the US economy and, by extension, credit quality. Issuing additional currency and depressing interest rates via the purchasing of MBS does little to raise the real GDP of the US, but does reduce the value of the dollar (because of the increase in money supply), and in turn increase the cost of commodities (see the recent rise in the prices of energy, gold, and other commodities). The increased cost of commodities will pressure profitability of businesses, and increase the costs of consumers thereby reducing consumer purchasing power. Hence, in our opinion QE3 will be detrimental to credit quality for the US."  ,  Guest Post: QE3 And Bernanke's Folly - Part I  ,  Inflation Expectations Suggest 5% Inflation Is In The Cards  ‘…there is a clear lag between the rise in market-implied inflation and it showing up in the unicorn-laden CPI prints  [ Actually, its just plain understated, and, not the first time theyve lied (  Financial Crisis Phase II Is Ahead at Forbes Bert Dohmen  In late 2007, I wrote the book Prelude To Meltdown, predicting the global crisis that occurred the following year.  I now see a similar confluence of events .. the new recession has started.”… Over the past 33 years, we have called the start of every recession..Currently, the GDP deflator is 1.8%, which hardly reflects the true rise in prices. Therefore, what is counted as growth, is actually price increases. Actual inflation .. is now more than 11%. Using that to adjust GDP for inflation, would show that the economy is now in a very sharp contraction)   ]  - what this means is that given the hubris of the Fed yesterday, market expectations of inflation are inferring CPI could rise to over 5% within the next 3 to 6 months. It will surely be difficult for Ben to keep-on-buying ('Finding Nemo'-like) in the face of that kind of 'transitory' rise in real data - though for now, real money remains bid as risk comes off a little (even as the long-bond yield blows 26bps higher this week) - oh and CPI and PPI jump their most in 3 years.’  ,   Germany Opines: "Obama's Middle East Policy Is in Ruins"  ,  Guest Post: This Is Blowback  ZeroHedge.com The YouTube video depicting Mohammed is nothing more than the straw that broke the camels back. This kind of violent uprising against American power and interests in the region has been a long time in the making. It is not just the continuation of drone strikes which often kill civilians in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and Afghanistan, either. Nor is it the American invasions and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. Nor is it the United States and the Wests support for various deeply unpopular regimes such as the monarchies in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia (and formerly Iran). Nor is it that America has long favoured Israel over the Arab states, condemning, invading and fomenting revolution in Muslim nations for the pursuit of nuclear weapons while turning a blind eye to Israels nuclear weapons and its continued expansion into the West Bank.

Romney and the GOP still toe the Bush line  Republican leaders are sick and tired of Democrats blaming all the nation's problems on George W. Bush, and of being tarnished by the former president's legacy. { The problem for the democrats is that, unfortunately for the nation and world, wobama’s essentially followed dumbya bush’s failed legacy with few exceptions (ie., wobama/holder’s predisposed contraindicated favoritism/bias towards blacks including black panthers, etc.). Indeed, many within ‘the fold’ include ‘bush men’ (ie., mueller, bernanke, etc.); and comparable failed policies as, ie., protracted unnecessary war, profligate spending worse than bush, rule by proclamation/executive orders, no prosecution of huge wall street frauds, etc., all contrary to campaign promises/b***s*** that got him elected, a mistake that won’t be repeated this time around. }

I THINK IT IS TIME TO RECOGNIZE THAT BERNANKE IS TOTALLY BURNED OUT IF NOT ABSOLUTELY INSANE (YOU RECALL THOSE PROPAGANDA ROUNDS AT THE SCHOOLS, ETC.; THOSE CAPTIVE AUDIENCES WHO COULDNT CARE LESS). HE IS TOTALLY INCOMPETENT! THE FACT IS, BEYOND THE BLATANT FAILURE OF HIS CONSISTENTLY FAILED POLICIES, HE STILL TALKS OF GROWTH AS BEING SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE INFLATIONARY IMPACT OF INFLATIONARY QE AND UNDERSTATED INFLATION AND HIGHER PRICES THEREBY. ITS REALLY QUITE INCREDIBLE THAT ANYONE BELIEVES ANY OF THEIR B***S***!

Where Would the S&P 500 Be Without Fed Intervention? September 12, 2012 http://gainspainscapital.com   http://albertpeia.com/snpfed.htm‘We’ve entered a truly dangerous environment in the financial markets. Economic fundamentals are deteriorating rapidly. Consider the US…By all counts, the latest ISM (a measure of manufacturing in the US) was a complete and total disaster. In August the ISM hit 49. Anything below 50 is considered a recessionary rating.However, things are even worse below the surface.,  Things Are Getting Worse: Median Household Income Has Fallen 4 Years In A Row   http://albertpeia.com/thingsworseincomefalls4inarow.htm  ,  Thanks Obama - The Terrorists You Used To Topple Regimes In Egypt And Libya Are Now Attacking Our Embassies   http://albertpeia.com/thankswoforblowback.htm   ,   US Totalitarianism Loses Major Battle As Judge Permanently Blocks NDAA's Military Detention Provision  Zerohedge.com 

 

 

US Totalitarianism Loses Major Battle As Judge Permanently Blocks NDAA's Military Detention Provision  Zerohedge.com  Back in January, Pulitzer winning journalist Chris Hedges sued President Obama and the recently passed National Defense Authorization Act, specifically challenging the legality of the Authorization for Use of Military Force or, the provision that authorizes military detention for people deemed to have "substantially supported" al Qaeda, the Taliban or "associated forces." Hedges called the president's action allowing indefinite detention, which was signed into law with little opposition from either party "unforgivable, unconstitutional and exceedingly dangerous." He attacked point blank the civil rights farce that is the neverending "war on terror" conducted by both parties, targetting whom exactly is unclear, but certainly attaining ever more intense retaliation from foreigners such as the furious attacks against the US consulates in Egypt and Libya. He asked  "why do U.S. citizens now need to be specifically singled out for military detention and denial of due process when under the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force the president can apparently find the legal cover to serve as judge, jury and executioner to assassinate U.S. citizens." A few months later, in May, U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest ruled in favor of a temporary injunction blocking the enforcement of the authorization for military detention. Today, the war againt the true totalitarian terror won a decisive battle, when in a 112-opinion, Judge Forrest turned the temporary injunction, following an appeal by the totalitarian government from August 6, into a permanent one.

What’s the Fed Going to Do?   http://gainspainscapital.com

September 11, 2012  http://albertpeia.com/whatsthefedtodo.htm

 

Yesterday we worked through the illusion to the reality of the ECBs unlimited bond purchases, the end result being that we discovered the ECB:

1)   Didnt announce anything new

2)   Is implementing the same policies its tried twice before with no success (see Greece)

3)   Is implementing policies that neither Spain nor Italy will go for

And finally

4)   Has solved nothing due to the fact that of the two mega-bailout funds, one has only 65 billion in firepower left and the other has yet to be ratified by Germany

 

 

China And Russia Are Ruthlessly Cutting The Legs Out From Under The U.S. Dollar

http://albertpeia.com/debaseddollardown.htm

The mainstream media in the United States is almost totally ignoring one of the most important trends in global economics.  This trend is going to cause the value of the U.S. dollar to fall dramatically and it is going to cause the cost of living in the United States to go way up If we keep debasing our currency like this, at some point the rest of the world is going to decide that China and Russia have been right all along and that we need a new global reserve currency.That day is coming.  It might not come tomorrow or next week or next month but it is definitely coming.

Once the U.S. dollar loses reserve currency status, that will be a major turning point in the history of our country.  We will never fully recover from that, and we will never get back to the same level of prosperity that we are enjoying today.So enjoy spending those dollars while you can.  The party is almost over.

Super Mario’s Big Bluff   http://albertpeia.com/supermariosbigbluff.htm  ‘… In closing, the new ECB program will ultimately prove to be Mario Draghi’s big bluff. By presenting an old, failed program as something “new” and “unlimited” in scope, the ECB has actually shown that it’s essentially out of firepower. Indeed, consider the following…The ECB says it will buy EU sovereign bonds if EU nations apply for bailouts from the EFSF. Spain and Italy (the very countries that need bailouts) are meant to supply 30% of the EFSF’s funding.So this new program involves Spain and Italy bailing themselves out, while simultaneously implementing austerity measures so the ECB will buy their sovereign bonds?!?!Oh, and by the way, the EFSF only has €65 billion in funding left. That will definitely be enough to bailout Spain and Italy, seeing as Greece has received over €200 billion in bailouts is still imploding.On that note, if you are not preparing for a bloodbath in the markets, now is the time to do so. The reality is that the Central Banks are fast losing their grip on the markets. They’ll never admit this publicly, but I can assure you that Bernanke and pals are scared stiff by what’s happening in the banking system right now…’

The west has just become a giant banana republic. Have you hit your breaking point yet? If not now when?  { { Im really constrained to interject my own direct experience with the FBI here; and, I must say I do so lamentably. If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the tough questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal drug ops (opsriiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You cant make this stuff up. I also dont believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. Im beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the federal (judicial) system who share the same employer; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared more fairly with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:  Debauchery: An American specialty In the land of Lindsay Lohan and Snooki, some federal workers reflect our culture all too well. (Washington Post) [ Lindsay Lohan? Come on Mr. Milbank, hands off the low hanging fruit. Shes totally harmless. Jersey italian snooki? In mob infested new jersey, who knows (one of the properties in my proceedings for which surplus funds are unaccounted for was a 2 bedroom 1 and 1/2 bath condominium in seaside heights, n.j.). But debauchery an american specialty? Another rare instance wherein I agree with Mr. Milbank completely. 25 Signs That America Is A Seething Cesspool Of Filth And Corruption http://albertpeia.com/25signsamericacesspooloffilthcrimeandcorruption.htm . Review of flawed forensics held close to vest EXCLUSIVE | Documents and interviews show FBI and Justice Department officials took steps to control information uncovered by a task force designed to examine cases involving discredited agents. Many defendants were never notified of flaws in cases. Simply unconscionable (Washington Post) [ Well, I really have to say this. Im awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ) . Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed the level and extent of corruption and criminality within the ranks of the u.s. government before embarking upon this costly quest for justice and simple fairness consistent with clear law (infra, regarding the u.s. governments direct involvement in the illegal drug trade). In this civil RICO matter, there are no innocent bystanders; but rather, perpetrators, accomplices, and co-conspirators. When the fbi agent initially assigned to this matter (Connecticut) abruptly resigned/retired shortly after a conversation, though not central to my case, wherein I had said that rudy giulianis father had been an (convicted) enforcer for the mob (served 12 years? in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter?) and then sent him documentation owing to his disbelief. Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard. I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agents departure who somewhat plaintively (my call being a burden) told me that he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari, which he didnt explain further. Could anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jerseys FBI office, I was greeted by an FBI Agent who sarcastically asked me whether I was going to the disco that night (the documents including sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alitos office in the same building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   . We all can infer sam alitos reward / quid pro quo for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme court.  There was never a question as to maryanne trump barrys interest in corrupting the judicial process as related to her brothers (trump) casinos. Jersey city boy louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klaiman as the most corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly holders impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvds sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference. Im currently being stonewalled by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI Agent Bill Lewis.

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

ATF Chief Melson:Justice Department trying to shield officials (LATimes) Serrano

 

I believe him!

 I truly empathize with the ATF in terms of government cover-ups, notably by even the DOJ. You’ll recognize some familiar names (ie., Alito, Trump, Freeh (Louis Freeh now has dual citizenship with Italy), and some familiar crimes (ie., drug money laundering, etc. – real cash cow for gov’t ops, bribes, etc.). [Did you know this about the following ATF Agents who were probably viewed as loose ends: Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeahan & Conway LeBleu:   Died February 28, 1993 by gunfire at Waco. All four were examined by a pathologist and died from identical wounds to the left temple. All four had been body guards for Bill Clinton, three while campaigning for President and when he was Governor of Arkansas.They also were the ONLY 4 BATF agents killed at Waco. ]

Heres some real, complicit cover-up / fraud on the part of the federal government, et als:

Federal Bureau of Investigation, USDOJ

Los Angeles, CA 90024

 

 Dear Sir:

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computers browser) as per your offices request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which Ive installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named 112208opocoan). The (civil) RICO action (as youre aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBIs LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation Andrew Maloneys the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

·         A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..

·         Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.

·         The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages:   [  Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File        Page 1                Page 2          ]

·         Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [   transcript in pertinent part -     http://albertpeia.com/crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf    ]

·         Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

·         Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.],   Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

Sincerely,

Thank you for being in touch.  As we continue the busy first session of the 112th Congress, I want you to know that I am grateful for the various times you have shared your thoughts and concerns with me on different issues.  Please be assured that your voice is being heard and that your perspective helps me to better represent you in Washington, D.C.

[ This is a reply to the Congresswoman’s query among others included.]

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. 43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

 

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

Sincerely,

Albert L. Peia

 

America also leads in the illegal drug trade.  In fact, many researchers reveal that the war on drugs is only utilized to control and monopolize the illicit drug trade.  The US government has been caught multiple times shipping in cocaine [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvbdiWgwsA , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQNSoOX-dcw&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG1Id2qpSOE&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEUhpxeuP4&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyM43Sw2OVc&feature=related ] , colluding with certain cartels [ http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/08/does_mexican_drug_cartel_have_deal_with_us_government.html ] to control the industry, and now openly protects and transports opium from Afghanistan [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElEciFI0Pew ] .  In fact, Global Research points out that in 2001, “according to UN figures, opium production had fallen to 185 tons. Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [ http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world ] ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

Yet, it cannot be denied that nobody, no news organization, not even a government agency did their homework in vetting this complete and utter fraud called ‘barack obama’! } ‘…After a couple of nights at the Time Warner Cable Arena, the convention was to have closed with President Obama’s acceptance speech at the Bank of America Stadium, where convention officials were planning to squeeze nearly 6,000 seats onto the field to expand the stadium’s capacity beyond its usual 74,000. But the speedway event was canceled — ostensibly because of logistical problems but more likely because convention fundraising was running low. Then the Democrats canceled the stadium event in favor of the smaller arena — ostensibly because of “severe thunderstorm” concerns but more likely because they couldn’t be sure enough people would come to fill the stadium.In fact, the forecast hadn’t called for severe weather, and conditions were fine Thursday night. The change caused thousands to be turned away, and the crush of crowds at the arena led authorities at one point to lock down the building for a second straight night – leaving some delegates on the street while lobbyists enjoyed the proceedings inside…’

Bloomberg FOIA Documents How Wall Street Made A Muppet Of The SEC, Mary Schapiro And Dodd Frank

That the SEC is the most incompetent, corrupt, irrelevant and captured organization "serving" the US public is known by everyone. And while the details of the SEC's glaring lack of capacity to do anything to restore investor confidence in the capital markets, which has become a casino used exclusively by Wall Street to defraud any retail investor still stupid enough to play (which lately a moot point as there have been no material retail inflows into mutual funds in over three years), are scattered, courtesy of Bloomberg we now have the best summary of just how the utterly clueless SEC is a muppet plaything of Wall Street, and together with it, the "grand regulation" that was supposed to keep Wall Street in check, is nothing but what Wall Street demand it to be, and forced the SEC, way over its head on regulation, to accept every change, that the very banks that are supposed to be regulated, demands as part of Dodd-Frank reforms. In short: everything we know about Wall Street 'regulation' has been a farce, and a lie, exclusively thanks to corruption rampant at the now documentedly incompetent Securities And Exchange Commission.

People owe themselves and their children more than this grifter’s con which in numbers measures more than the increased deficits of all the presidents since President General Eisenhower combined to obfuscate his unequivocal failure. http://albertpeia.com/10waysobamakillingjobsinamerica.htm    }  Obama Asks People Getting Married To Forgo Gifts...
Donate To His Campaign Instead...
[ Wobama is so pathetic! Sure, sacrifice for the grifter wobamas so they can continue livin’ large on the taxpayer dime while accomplishing nothing except greater public debt to hide his failure. This from the record holder for fundraisers, 151 and counting. Then there’s the 100 plus rounds of golf in addition to being famously over-vacationed while in office. It’s laughable to hear him blame congress for his lack of accomplishments when the reality is that he ‘really wasn’t there’ for any of it. For wobama the presidency is just endless debate, rhetoric, campaigning, vacationing, soundbites from the teleprompted speeches, jive-talk, b***s***, and ‘choom fantasy’. He’s a total fraud and failure and anyone who buys into election-year desperation / promises, etc., is just a fool of the worst kind!   AP: ‘…
THE FACTS: Five Senate Democrats voted against sending the DREAM Act to the Senate floor for full consideration. The bill would have created a path to citizenship for many young illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children. Last week, Obama announced plans to stop deporting illegal immigrants who would have qualified for the DREAM Act. The policy change does not include a path to citizenship…’ Then there’s the other meretricious ‘wobama desperation hail mary’ that once again falls short. Indeed, as an investor, one analyzes earnings, projects prospective earnings over a 3-5 year horizon, and the quality of the earnings along macro economic factors which are affected by ‘political considerations’. Does anyone remember the honorable Ross Perot who warned of NAFTA’s effect on american jobs even as the democrat administration et als were hell-bent on passing same? Should Romney have breached his legal duty to shareholders and invested in companies with poor earnings prospects? After all, in the financial / security analysis step of projecting the income statement, prospective labor costs figure prominently in the bottomline. In sum, Romney took conditions as he found them, and made the prudent choices which as per his legal duty were optimal for those who put their trust in him. For those who put their trust in proven failure wobama, all they have to show for such misplaced trust are broken campaign promises, now insurmountable record deficit spending exceeding all the presidents since Eisenhower combined to obfuscate what clearly has been wobama’s unequivocal failure. ]

Guest Post: Why Everybody's Going To War in the Middle East

"Everybody's going to war but we don't know what we are fighting for." Nerina Pallot, from "Everybody's Gone to War"

All sides in the coming conflict – except for the civilian populations and the soldiers maimed and killed – believe they will benefit from a limited war in the Middle East if everything goes according to plan. However, nothing ever goes according to plan in wars and this is the problem the world will face. Prolonged recession or depression, wealth and benefit confiscation throughout the EU, US and other Western democracies and the risk of a Middle East conflict spreading around the world is our fear. Who is guaranteed to win regardless of the outcome of the war and whether it can be contained? The Anglo-American financial elites and the bankers always win every conflict regardless of the military outcome. This is the history of the 20th century and we see no reason that will change now.

8-24-12 Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   ‘THE FED’S ORACLE KEEPS STOCKS GREEN  8-24-12  With stock markets actually threatening a red week enter the Fed’s oracle, the WSJ’s Jon Hilsenrath with a Bernanke regurgitated “stick save” QE algos glommed on which rallied stocks.,  AN OPEN LETTER TO THE MSFM: QE 3 ISN’T COMING, GIVE UP  By gpc1981   http://albertpeia.com/qe3notcoming.htm  ,  Guest Post: Trading on Yesterday's News – What Does the Stock Market Really 'Know'?  ZeroHedge.com  We have critically examined the question of whether the stock market 'discounts' anything on several previous occasions. The question was for instance raised in the context of what happened in the second half of 2007. Surely by October 2007 it must have been crystal clear even to people with the intellectual capacity of a lamp post and the attention span of a fly that something was greatly amiss in the mortgage credit market. Then, just as now, both the ECB and the Fed had begun to take emergency measures to keep the banking system from keeling over in August. This brings to mind the 'potent directors fallacy' which is the belief held by investors that someone – either the monetary authority, the treasury department, or a consortium of bankers, or nowadays e.g. the government of China – will come to their rescue when the market begins to fall. 'They' won't allow the market to decline!' 'They' won't allow a recession to occur!' 'They can't let the market go down in an election year!' All of these are often heard phrases. This brings us to today's markets. Nowadays, traders are not only not attempting to 'discount' anything, they are investing with their eyes firmly fixed on the rear-view mirror – they effectively trade on yesterday's news. { It bears repeating that never in history have the markets become so disconnected from fundamental finance, valuation, an reality and so completely and utterly fraudulent. I believe that computerization facilitating multiple frauds at lightning speed, over and over again and again along with re-hypothecation of already worthless paper at similar speeds is in part the reason for the prevalence of such fraud along with the breakdown of american among other societies into what yesteryear would have been scorned as ‘banana republics’ without any meaningful rules of law whatsoever and pervasive, almost blatant, corruption at every level. (This is not to blame computers for the bad use they’re put to.) }

Guest Post: The Stock Market Is An "Attractive Nuisance" And Should Be Closed  In tort law, an attractive nuisance is any potentially hazardous object or condition that is likely to attract the naive and unwary, i.e. children. A classic example is an abandoned swimming pool half-filled with fetid water. The stock market is demonstrably an "attractive nuisance" and should be closed immediately. It should never be reopened unless these conditions can be met: 1) All shares must be owned for at least four hours 2) All trading must be executed by humans on a transparent exchange where all trading activity (and open orders) is visible to all participants 3) Intervention in the market by the Federal Reserve or any Central State agency or agents is against the law. If you insist on putting money at risk in the stock market, be aware that you are playing a rigged roulette wheel and thus you are a mark. You might win, or the entire game might collapse in a rotten heap of lies and corruption. Just remember that the market is ruled by parasites who need to keep their hosts (investors) alive so they can continue to feed off them (i.e. biotrophic parasites). If the hosts all leave the market, the parasites will have only themselves to feed on, and they will quickly expire.  ,  Thanks Obama - Here Are 24 Stats That Show How Much You Have Royally Messed Up Our Economy  http://albertpeia.com/24statsshowhowobamamessedupeconomy.htm  ,  8 Economic Threats That We Were Not Even Talking About At The Beginning Of The Summer  http://albertpeia.com/8neweconomicthreats.htm  ,  More Than Half Of All Americans Are At Least Partially Dependent On The Government   http://albertpeia.com/morethanhalfamericansdependentongovernment.htm   ,  Jacob Rothschild, John Paulson And George Soros Are All Betting That Financial Disaster Is Coming  http://albertpeia.com/insidersmartmoneybetsfinancialdisastercoming.htm  ,  US fiscal cliff risks new recession, says report  ,  Gold & Silver off to the races  ,  Eric Sprott: The Financial System’s Death Knell?  ,  Marc Faber On Keynesian Folly, The 'Missing' Inflation, And Bubble-Blowing  ,  With AAPL 19.8% Of The NASDAQ, Is Another Rebalancing Imminent?   ,  Citi Sees Greek Exit As Soon As September  ,  FOMC Minutes Indicate No Shift In Fed's Views, Even As Many Members See More Easing Likely Warranted  ,  The Truth Behind Juncker's Lies: In The Second Largest Greek City, 1250 Companies Have Shuttered In 2012  ,  The Gathering Storm

 It is absolutely incredible that tech’s even on the radar other than for signs of disasters to come; it’s really that bad, and getting worse, not better as one might expect. And, not just in this country. The newest linux version (ubuntu for dual boot) is, contrary to what one would presume but consistent with the american paradigm of shear folly, significantly worse than older versions. I actually had to uninstall it, it was so bad on the additional computer I just got for file space/back-up. Vista’s a total joke, and, though currently winning by default, apples are just not that great nor worth the money and eventually the ‘unsavvy public’ will catch on. I’m glad for apple, my first computer in 1986!

 

 

Niall "Hit The Road Barack" Ferguson Responds To The "Liberal Blogosphere"  Two days ago, historian Niall Fergsuon had the temerity to voice a personal opinion, one which happens to not exactly jive with the rest of the media's take on current events, on the cover page of Newsweek (Newsweek is still in print?) titled, succinctly enough, "Hit the road Barack: Why we need a new president." The response was fast, furious, and brutal, particularly emanating from what Ferguson has dubbed the "liberal blogosphere."  http://albertpeia.com/hittheroadborackanddontyoucomebacknomorenomorenomorenomore.htm

Guest Post: Shhhh… It’s Even Worse Than The Great Depression   ZeroHedge.com  Tyler Durden  In just four short years, our “enlightened” policy-makers have slowed money velocity to depths never seen in the Great Depression.  Hard to believe, but the guy who made a career out of Monday-morning quarterbacking the Great Depression has already proven himself a bigger idiot than all of his predecessors (and in less than half the time!!).  During the Great Depression, monetary base was expanded in response to slowing economic activity, in other words it was reactive  (here’s a graph) .  They waited until the forest was ablaze before breaking out the hoses, and for that they’ve been rightly criticized.  Our “proactive”  Fed elected to hose down a forest that wasn’t actually on fire, with gasoline, and the results speak for themselves.  With the IMF recently  lowering its 2012 US GDP growth forecast to 2%, while  the monetary base is expanding at about a 5% clip, know that velocity of money is grinding lower every time you breathe

Guest Post: The West Has Just Become A Giant Banana Republic  Legal precedent means nothing. Rule of law means nothing. Free speech means nothing. Their own treaties mean nothing. It’s unbelievable. Anyone in the west who honestly thinks he’s still living in a free society is either a fool or completely out of touch. If that seems too radical an idea, consider that ECUADOR is now the only nation which stands to defend freedom and human rights against an assault from the United States, the United Kingdom, and their spineless allies. The west has just become a giant banana republic. Have you hit your breaking point yet? If not now… when?  { { I’m really constrained to interject my own direct experience with the FBI here; and, I must say I do so lamentably. If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the ‘tough’ questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal ‘drug ops’ (ops…riiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You can’t make this stuff up. I also don’t believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. I’m beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the ‘federal (judicial) system’ who share the ‘same employer’; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared ‘more fairly’ with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:  Debauchery: An American specialty In the land of Lindsay Lohan and Snooki, some federal workers reflect our culture all too well. (Washington Post) [ Lindsay Lohan? Come on Mr. Milbank, hands off the low hanging fruit. She’s totally harmless. Jersey ‘italian’ snooki? In mob infested new jersey, who knows (one of the properties in my proceedings for which surplus funds are unaccounted for was a 2 bedroom 1 and 1/2 bath condominium in seaside heights, n.j.). But debauchery an american specialty? Another rare instance wherein I agree with Mr. Milbank completely. 25 Signs That America Is A Seething Cesspool Of Filth And Corruption http://albertpeia.com/25signsamericacesspooloffilthcrimeandcorruption.htm . Review of flawed forensics held close to vest EXCLUSIVE | Documents and interviews show FBI and Justice Department officials took steps to control information uncovered by a task force designed to examine cases involving discredited agents. Many defendants were never notified of flaws in cases. ‘Simply unconscionable’ (Washington Post) [ Well, I really have to say this. I’m awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ) . Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed the level and extent of corruption and criminality within the ranks of the u.s. government before embarking upon this costly quest for justice and simple fairness consistent with clear law (infra, regarding the u.s. government’s direct involvement in the illegal drug trade). In this civil RICO matter, there are no innocent bystanders; but rather, perpetrators, accomplices, and co-conspirators. When the fbi agent initially assigned to this matter (Connecticut) abruptly resigned/retired shortly after a conversation, though not central to my case, wherein I had said that rudy giuliani’s father had been an (convicted) enforcer for the mob (served 12 years? in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter?) and then sent him documentation owing to his disbelief. Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard. I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agent’s departure who somewhat plaintively (‘my call being a burden’) told me that ‘he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari’, which he didn’t explain further. Could anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jersey’s FBI office, I was ‘greeted’ by an FBI Agent who sarcastically asked me whether I was ‘going to the disco that night’ (the documents including sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alito’s office in the same building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   . We all can infer sam alito’s reward / quid pro quo for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme court.  There was never a question as to maryanne trump barry’s interest in corrupting the judicial process as related to her brother’s (trump) casinos. Jersey city boy louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klaiman as the most corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly holder’s impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvd’s sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference. I’m currently being ‘stonewalled’ by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI Agent Bill Lewis.

Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   ‘QE TALK & MERKEL PROP STOCKS 8-16-12 Not to take anything away from Cisco (CSCO) earnings which beat by a penny both on earnings and revenue, but the thrust of Thursday’s rally came mostly on the heels of talk from on high. Former Fed governor Plosser stated via the WSJ that Bernanke’s recent comments indicate QE3 is likely but he is against it. Also, Angela Merkel revived talk that the euro must be saved as she and the ECB were committed to do. Of course, her comments don’t mean some current eurozone members like Greece will remain. China was also cited as a stimulus for a rally Thursday as investors expect the government to cut bank reserve requirements. Basically it’s all about “expectations and talk” but nothing beyond this …’  ,  Finland prepares for expected euro zone break up: report   ,  Startling Evidence That Central Banks And Wall Street Insiders Are Rapidly Preparing For Something BIG  http://albertpeia.com/centralbankswallstreetinsidersprepforsomethingbig.htm   ,  What Should Jon Corzine's Hedge Fund Be Named?   Since over the past five years hedge funds are better known for coming up with ingenious names, than for actually outperforming the market (recall that "the aggregate hedge fund index is now significantly underperforming the S&P 500 (from both the top in 2007 and the lows in 2009"), we hereby wish to do the Honorable Jon Corzine a favor, and save him the money he would otherwise spend on an expensive naming consultant, by offering up the creative services of our audience in conjuring the name for his future hedge fund. So dear ZH readers, take it away, although keep in mind Long-Term Capital Vaporization LP appears to already have been taken by a patent troll (soon to be likely sued by YHOO).  ,  Guest Post: Financialization's Self-Destruct Sequence  Like all systems that follow an S-curve of growth and decay, financialization cannot return to its growth phase. But there is another dynamic at play: a self-destruct sequence triggered by central bank and Central State efforts to reflate asset and credit/leverage bubbles. All central bank and State policies aimed at driving capital into risk assets boil down to reflating phantom assets purchased with debt by issuing more debt that is based on newly issued phantom assets. Phantom assets purchased with debt cannot be reflated by issuing more debt that is based on newly issued phantom assets. Piling more debt/leverage on a sandpile of phantom assets (CDS, bonds that cannot possibly be paid back, empty condos in the middle of nowhere, etc.) only heightens the probability that the unstable pile will collapse. The implicit Central Planning campaign to trigger "mild" inflation is part of the self-destruct sequence. Central planners metaphorically fight the last war, or at best the last two wars, and so they remain blind to any dynamics that did not exist in their case studies. 

 

 

Deleveraging Needed In Next 4 Years: $28 Trillion  ,  Retail Exodus From Stocks Continues: Another $3.6 Billion Pulled Out Last week  ,  A Modern Day Worker Revolt   ,   Europe's Energy Costs See Biggest Two Month Jump Ever  ,  Guest Post: What To Do When Every Market Is Manipulated  What do the following have in common? LIBOR, Bernie Madoff, MF Global, Peregrine Financial, zero-percent interest rates, the Social Security and Medicare entitlement funds, many state and municipal pension funds, mark-to-model asset values, quote stuffing and high frequency trading (HFT), and debt-based money? The answer is that every single thing in that list is an example of market rigging, fraud, or both. How are we supposed to make decisions in today’s rigged and often fraudulent market environment? Where should you put your money if you don’t know where the risks lie? How does one control risk when control fraud runs rampant? Unfortunately, there are no perfect answers to these questions. Instead, the task is to recognize what sort of world we happen to live in today and adjust one’s actions to the realities as they happen to be. The purpose of this report is not to stir up resentment or anger -- although those are perfectly valid responses to the abuses we are forced to live with -- but to simply acknowledge the landscape as it is so that we can make informed decisions.

 

Guest Post: Assange Or Corzine? The issue at hand is the sense that we have entered a phase of exponential criminality and corruption. A slavering crook like Corzine who stole $200 million of clients’ funds can walk free. Meanwhile, a man who exposed evidence of serious war crimes is for that act so keenly wanted by US authorities that Britain has threatened to throw hundreds of years of diplomatic protocol and treaties into the trash and raid the embassy of another sovereign state to deliver him to a power that seems intent not only to criminalize him, but perhaps even to summarily execute him. The Obama administration, of course, has made a habit of summary extrajudicial executions of those that it suspects of terrorism, and the detention and prosecution of whistleblowers. And the ooze of large-scale financial corruption, rate-rigging, theft and fraud goes on unpunished.

{ From sun never sets, to sun never shines on ever-declining britain along with pervasively corrupt defacto bankrupt america. What losers in decline they’ve become. As further testament to that unmistakable state of decline, america even has a nigger president … you can’t get any lower! }

Conflict Brewing Between UK And Ecuador As Latin American Country Agrees To Grant Asylum To Assange  Are we about to see a mini-war on UK soil, if and when Britain decides to storm the Ecuadorian embassy, which moments ago announced it has granted asylum to Julian Assange? From Reuters: "Ecuador granted political asylum to Julian Assange on Thursday, ratcheting up tension in a standoff with Britain which has warned it could revoke the diplomatic status of Quito's embassy in London to allow the extradition of the WikiLeaks founder. The high-profile Australian former hacker has been holed up inside the red-brick embassy in central London for eight weeks since he lost a legal battle to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he is wanted for questioning over rape allegations. Ecuadorean Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino said he feared for the safety and rights of Assange which is why he said his country had decided to grant him asylum. "Ecuador has decided to grant political asylum to Julian Assange," Patino told a news conference in Quito. Ecuador's decision takes what has become an international soap opera to new heights since Assange first angered the United States and its allies by publishing secret U.S. diplomatic cables on his WikiLeaks website." The UK, needless to say, is not happy, and the UK foreign ministry has said it will carry out binding obligation to extradite Assange to Sweden. Looks like posturing is about to hit a crescendo and someone will have to do something. Because foreign politics and diplomacy is (luckily) not central planning.

 

 

Startling Evidence That Central Banks And Wall Street Insiders Are Rapidly Preparing For Something BIG

http://albertpeia.com/centralbankswallstreetinsidersprepforsomethingbig.htm

 

Jon Corzine Will Not Only Not Face Prosecution, But May Be Launching A Hedge Fund Imminently

In what should be the biggst non-news of the day, the NYT is reporting that not only will Jon Corzine not face any criminal prosecution for vaporizing hundreds of millions in client money (which subsequently condensed in the JPM middle office), but will in fact be launching ... wait for it... a hedge fund. "A criminal investigation into the collapse of the brokerage firm MF Global and the disappearance of about $1 billion in customer money is now heading into its final stage without charges expected against any top executives. After 10 months of stitching together evidence on the firm’s demise, criminal investigators are concluding that chaos and porous risk controls at the firm, rather than fraud, allowed the money to disappear, according to people involved in the case." And algos... And glitches... And faulty software installs... And some junior person who has long since left the company...  and, and, and, lots and lots of passive voice... Because in the Banana republic of the crave, no bundles can ever go to jail, no matter how heinous the crime, which is not to say other places are better: in Thailand you shoot your secretary in the stomach during dinner with an Uzi and you don't even pay a $600 fine. But at least it puts things in perspective. So what is next in store for this former man of power? "Mr. Corzine, in a bid to rebuild his image and engage his passion for trading, is weighing whether to start a hedge fund, according to people with knowledge of his plans. He is currently trading with his family’s wealth. If he is successful as a hedge fund manager, it would be the latest career comeback for a man who was ousted from both the top seat at Goldman Sachs and the New Jersey governor’s mansion." So will Jon will be buying Italian bonds? We don't know. Ask him yourself.

But being a muppet is being a mark: it's the muppets who are being milked and skimmed. Being a participant in a hopelessly compromised, rigged market makes us marks because we're ultimately providing liquidity and capital for the players to skim. When the officially sanctioned intervention finally fails and the market leaks 40% of its current value, the muppets will finally understand the "outsized returns" were just a con used to entice them into playing digital 3-card monte. The game is rigged, but the greed of the player overrides his skepticism and caution. The same can be said for pension funds and all the other institutional players. Desperate for yield, they've foolishly ponied up hundreds of billions of dollars to play 3-card monte with crooked dealers and a crooked house

 

 

The Hoarding Continues: China Has Imported More Gold In Six Months Than Portugal's Entire Gold Reserve  ZeroHedge.com  ,  Guest Post: The Biggest Conflict Of Interest In Finance?  Maybe this is a naive question, but as Goldman clients get skinned again and again and again and again and again by Goldman’s failed calls — while Goldman itself continues to rack up prop trading profits — I keep wondering just why anyone would take investment advice from a trading firm? And beyond that, why is it even legal for trading firms to advise clients? Isn’t this the biggest conflict of interest possible? We know firms including Goldman have advised clients to buy junk that the trading arm wants to get off its books.  ,  Spot The Looming Crisis  Yes, we all know that Europe is in deep, deep, trouble, and we all know that Europe has a major fiscal deficit issue which is why well over half of the Eurozone is effectively locked out of the capital markets, and only has funding courtesy of various back door Ponzi schemes funded by the ECB, and we also all know that on a consolidated basis Europe's debt/GDP is very high. But the truth is that at least Europe is taking small steps to rectify its historic profligacy and is at least pretending to be implementing austerity (in some cases actually truly doing so). How about the US. Well, the chart below should answer that particular question. Because while the consolidated GDP of the US and Europe are nearly identical, they differ very materially in terms of both fiscal deficit, and total Debt/GDP. The chart below shows precisely where the differences lie between the United States of Europe and the United States of America.  ,  Guest Post: Former Central Bankers Step Up Against The Central Banks  ,  Fed's Fisher Reluctant To 'Bail Out White House' With More QE  It was not enough that the Fed's Richard Fisher was 'allowed' on CNBC this afternoon to expropriate himself and his merry-Fed-men from his 'fanatical' colleague nemesis Rosengren; but Maria B., for one glorious moment, asked a question so sensible it was stunning: "Is The Fed Bailing Out The White House?" The notably business-man-background Fisher was wonderfully heretical in explaining that additional stimulus would have little impact, that the Fed's action would indeed 'look political', and that "US lawmakers need to get their fiscal act together." While he doesn't see a high likelihood of a recession in 2013, he comprehends clearly the wait-and-see 'defensive crouch' that businesses are in given the huge uncertainty. On a slow day, with so much print-and-it's-all-fixed hope, the clarifying vision of at least one man on the FOMC is perhaps worth holding onto.  ,  Global Car-Maker Channel Stuffing Conspiracy 'Theory' Now Conspiracy 'Fact'  ,  Guest Post: The Sentinel Case - Another Nail In The Coffin Of 'Market Confidence'  ,  Crushed Consumption: The Unintended Consequence Of Bernanke's Arrogance  With the Fed lowering interest rates and flattening the curve in an effort to squeeze any- and every-one into risk-assets and mal-investment; the sad truth of this action is that it forces a drastic unintended consequence on the growing population of people that actually care about the future. Critically, as Citi points out, lower yields require much higher rates of saving (both corporates and households) and while 10% of salary allocated to 'retirement savings' will meet its goals with a 4% return hurdle, at current low yields, the average-joe in the street will need to 'save' 25% of his income - cutting heavily into his current consumptive and discretionary iPad needs.  ,  Summarizing America's Record Drought In One Picture  ,  Crude Spikes On Renewed Mid-East War Fears As Saudi Arabia Recalls Lebanon Citizens   ,  On GDP vs Equity Returns, Bill Gross Is In Fact Right...

How to Spot – and Defeat – Disruption on the Internet Posted by : George Washington Post date: 08/13/2012 - 15:43 The 15 Rules of Web Disruption

David Martin’s Thirteen Rules for Truth Suppression,  H. Michael Sweeney’s 25 Rules of Disinformation (and now Brandon Smith’s Disinformation: How It Works) are classic lessons on how to spot disruption and disinformation tactics.

We’ve seen a number of tactics come and go over the years.  Here are the ones we see a lot of currently.

#1.  Start a partisan divide-and-conquer fight or otherwise push emotional buttons to sew discord and ensure that cooperation is thwarted.   Get people fighting against each other instead of the corrupt powers-that-be.  Use baseless caricatures to rile everyone up.  For example,  start a religious war whenever possible using stereotypes like “all Jews are selfish”, “all Christians are crazy” or “all Muslims are terrorists”.  Accuse the author of being a gay, pro-abortion limp-wristed wimp  or being a fundamentalist pro-war hick when the discussion has nothing to do with abortion, sexuality, religion, war or region.  Appeal to people’s basest prejudices and biases. And – as Sweeney explains – push the author into a defensive posture:

Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule … Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as “kooks”, “right-wing”, “liberal”, “left-wing”, “terrorists”, “conspiracy buffs”, “radicals”, “militia”, “racists”, “religious fanatics”, “sexual deviates”, and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.

#2.  Pretend it’s hopeless because we’ll be squashed if we try.  For example, every time a whistleblower leaks information, say “he’s going to be bumped off”.   If people talk about protesting, organizing, boycotting, shareholder activism, spreading the real facts, moving our money or taking other constructive action, write things to scare and discourage people, say something like  “we don’t have any chance because they have drones and they’ll just kill us if we try”,  or “Americans are too stupid, lazy and greedy, so they’ll never help out.”  Encourage people to be apathetic instead of trying to change things.

#3.  Demand complete, fool-proof and guaranteed solutions to the problems being discussed.   For example, if a reporter breaks the story that the big banks conspired to rig a market, ask “given that people are selfish and that no regulation can close all possible loopholes … how are you going to change human nature?”, and pretend that it’s not worth talking about the details of the market manipulation.  This discourages people from reporting on and publicizing the corruption, fraud and other real problems.  And it ensures that not enough people will spread the facts so that the majority know what’s really going on.

#4. Suggest extreme, over-the-top, counter-productive solutions which will hurt more than help, or which are wholly disproportionate to what is being discussed.   For example, if the discussion is whether or not to break up the big banks or to go back on the gold standard, say that everyone over 30  should be killed because they are sell-outs and irredeemable, or that all of the banks should be bombed. This discredits the attempt to spread the facts and to organize, and is simply the web method of the provocateur.

#5.  Pretend that alternative media – such as blogs written by the top experts in their fields, without any middleman – are untrustworthy or are motivated solely by money (for example, use the derogatory term “blogspam” for any blog posting, pretending that there is no original or insightful reporting, but that the person is simply doing it for ad revenue).

#6.  Coordinate with a couple of others to “shout down” reasonable comments.  This is especially effective when the posters launch an avalanche of comments in quick succession … the original, reasonable comment gets lost or attacked so much that it is largely lost.

#7.  Use an army of sock puppets.  You can either hire low-wage workers in India or other developing countries to “astroturf” or – if you work for the government – you can use software which allows you to quickly create and alternate between numerous false identities, each with their own internet address.

#8. Censor social media, so that the hardest-hitting information is buried. If you can’t censor it, set up “free speech zones” to push dissent into dank, dark corners where no one will see it.

#9.  When the powers-that-be cut corners and take criminally reckless gambles with our lives and our livelihoods, protect them by pretending that the inevitable result - nuclear accidents, financial crisesterrorist attacks or other disasters – were “unforeseeable” and that “no could have known”.

#10.  Protect the rich and powerful by labeling any allegations of criminal activity as being a “conspiracy theory”.  For example, when Goldman gets caught rigging markets, label the accusations as mere conspiracies.

The following 4 tactics from Sweeney are also still commonly used …

#11. Become incredulous and indignant. Avoid discussing key issues and instead focus on side issues which can be used show the topic as being critical of some otherwise sacrosanct group or theme. This is also known as the “How dare you!” gambit.

#12. Use a straw man. Find or create a seeming element of your opponent’s argument which you can easily knock down to make yourself look good and the opponent to look bad. Either make up an issue you may safely imply exists based on your interpretation of the opponent/opponent arguments/situation, or select the weakest aspect of the weakest charges. Amplify their significance and destroy them in a way which appears to debunk all the charges, real and fabricated alike, while actually avoiding discussion of the real issues.

#13. Hit and Run. In any public forum, make a brief attack of your opponent or the opponent position and then scamper off before an answer can be fielded, or simply ignore any answer. This works extremely well in Internet and letters-to-the-editor environments where a steady stream of new identities can be called upon without having to explain criticism reasoning — simply make an accusation or other attack, never discussing issues, and never answering any subsequent response, for that would dignify the opponent’s viewpoint.

#14. Question motives. Twist or amplify any fact which could so taken to imply that the opponent operates out of a hidden personal agenda or other bias. This avoids discussing issues and forces the accuser on the defensive.

#15. Associate opponent charges with old news. A derivative of the straw man usually, in any large-scale matter of high visibility, someone will make charges early on which can be or were already easily dealt with. Where it can be foreseen, have your own side raise a straw man issue and have it dealt with early on as part of the initial contingency plans. Subsequent charges, regardless of validity or new ground uncovered, can usually them be associated with the original charge and dismissed as simply being a rehash without need to address current issues — so much the better where the opponent is or was involved with the original source.

Postscript:  Over a number of years, we’ve found that the most effective way to fight disruption and disinformation is to link to a post such as this one which rounds up disruption techniques, and then to cite the disinfo technique you think is being used.

Specifically, we’ve found the following format to be highly effective in educating people in a non-confrontational manner about what the disrupting person is doing:

Good Number 1!

Or:

Thanks for that textbook example of Number 7!

(Include the link, so people can see what you're referring to.)

The reason this is effective is that other readers will learn about the specific disruption tactic being used … in context, like seeing wildlife while holding a wildlife guide, so that one learns what it looks like “in the field”.   At the same time, you come across as humorous and light-hearted instead of heavy-handed or overly-intense.

Try it … It works.’

Disinformation: How It Works  The best way to disarm disinformation agents is to know their methods inside and out. This gives us the ability to point out exactly what they are doing in detail the moment they try to do it. Immediately exposing a disinformation tactic as it is being used is highly destructive to the person utilizing it. It makes them look foolish, dishonest and weak for even making the attempt. Internet trolls most especially do not know how to handle their methods being deconstructed right in front of their eyes and usually fold and run from debate when it occurs. The truth is precious. It is sad that there are so many in our society who have lost respect for it; people who have traded in their conscience and their soul for temporary financial comfort while sacrificing the stability and balance of the rest of the country in the process. Disinformation does not only threaten our insight into the workings of our world; it makes us vulnerable to fear, misunderstanding, and doubt: all things that lead to destruction. It can drive good people to commit terrible atrocities against others, or even against themselves. Without a concerted and organized effort to diffuse mass-produced lies, the future will look bleak indeed.

Guest Post: QE Forever And Ever?  The lunatics are running the asylum. This is the only conclusion one can come to when considering the nonchalance with which what was once considered an extraordinary policy with a firm 'exit' in mind is now propagated as a perfectly normal 'tool' to be employed at the drop of a hat. We refer of course to so-called 'quantitative easing' (QE), which really is a euphemism for money printing. Apart from his sole focus on short term outcomes, an important point that seems not be considered by the FOMC's Rosengren this week is the question of what should happen if the 'open-ended' QE policy were to fail to achieve its stated goals. He seems to assume that it will succeed in lowering unemployment and creating 'economic growth' as a matter of course. It goes without saying that money printing cannot create a single molecule of real wealth. If it could, then Zimbabwe wouldn't be a basket case, but a Utopia of riches. We must infer from Rosengren's idea of implementing open-ended QE until  certain benchmarks in terms of unemployment and 'growth' are achieved, that in case they remain elusive, extraordinary rates of money printing would simply continue until the underlying monetary system breaks down.

Obama Is Using The Curiosity Landing To Push Government Spending

Business Insider | President Barack Obama congratulated NASA on its successful mission to send a robotic rover to Mars tonight, calling the landing of the Curiosity an “unprecedented feat of technology.”  {  Riiiiight! …..  Geeeh! And here,  I already thought they’ve already done that … and, it’s so helped america’s fiscal and economic position in the solar system!  }  {  MISSIONS TO MARS TIMELINE: 1992 to 2004

September 25, 1992 - Mars Observer launched. Spacecraft designed to map the martian surface from orbit with a large, sophisticated science payload.

August, 1993 - contact lost with Mars Observer.

1995 - NASA selects Mars Polar Lander for 1999 launch.

1996 - Athena Mars Rover mission proposed (unsuccessfully) to NASA Discovery Program for launch in 2002.

November 7, 1996 - Mars Global Surveyor launched.

November 16, 1996 - Russian Mars '96 orbiter/landers launched.

November 17, 1996 - Mars '96 fails to achieve insertion into Mars cruise trajectory and re-enters the Earth's atmosphere.

September 11, 1997 - Mars Global Surveyor arrives at Mars and begins a successful mission that continues today.

September 27, 1997 - last successful data transmission from Mars Pathfinder

November, 1997 - Athena Mars Rover Payload selected for launch in 2001.

Spring, 1998 - NASA and JPL announce that due to engineering problems and funding shortages in the Mars program, launch of the Athena Mars Rover Payload will be delayed until 2003, with landing in 2004. Instead, NASA will send a stationary lander (similar to the Mars Polar Lander) to Mars in 2001. Four Athena instruments would be flown on this lander as a precursor to the full Athena investigation in 2003.

July 3, 1998 - Nozomi, Japanese Mars orbiter launched.

December 11, 1998 - Mars Climate Orbiter launched.

December 21, 1998 - course correction burns leave Nozomi with less fuel than expected. The orbiter is to remain in heliocentric orbit for five years.

January 3, 1999 - Mars Polar Lander launched.

September, 1999 - Mars Climate Orbiter spacecraft fails to achieve orbit due to a navigation error.

December 3, 1999 - Mars Polar Lander fails, apparently due to a software error.

May, 2000 - Mars 2001 Lander mission, which would have used a lander similar to Mars Polar Lander, cancelled by NASA. Mars program undergoes a major restructuring.

July, 2000 - NASA selects the Mars Exploration Rover mission for flight in 2003. The mission will send a large rover to Mars carrying the Athena Mars Rover Payload, and will use the same landing system that was used successfully by Mars Pathfinder.

August, 2000 - NASA announces that two identical rovers will be flown in 2003, each carrying identical copies of the Athena payload.

April 7, 2001 - Mars Odyssey orbiter launched; will aid in landing site selection for MER and relay data from Athena instruments.

June 2, 2003 - The European Space Agency's Mars Express Orbiter and Beagle 2 Lander launched from Baikonur, Kazakhstan.

June 10, 2003 - The MER-A rover called Spirit is launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

July 7, 2003 - The MER-B rover called Opportunity is launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

December 9, 2003 - Nozomi mission abandoned due to lack of fuel and a damaged electrical system.

December 26, 2003 - Mars Express arrives at Mars.

January 3, 2004 - The Mars rover Spirit lands.

January 25, 2004 - The Mars rover Opportunity lands.

January, 2004-present - The rovers Spirit and Opportunity operate on the martian surface.  }

As such, I believe people will choose self-respect, reality, real results which will make President Romney’s election a substantial margin blowout victory!

{ I’m really constrained to interject my own direct experience with the FBI here; and, I must say I do so lamentably. If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the ‘tough’ questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal ‘drug ops’ (ops…riiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You can’t make this stuff up. I also don’t believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. I’m beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the ‘federal (judicial) system’ who share the ‘same employer’; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared ‘more fairly’ with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:

 

Debauchery: An American specialty In the land of Lindsay Lohan and Snooki, some federal workers reflect our culture all too well. (Washington Post) [ Lindsay Lohan? Come on Mr. Milbank, hands off the low hanging fruit. She’s totally harmless. Jersey ‘italian’ snooki? In mob infested new jersey, who knows (one of the properties in my proceedings for which surplus funds are unaccounted for was a 2 bedroom 1 and 1/2 bath condominium in seaside heights, n.j.). But debauchery an american specialty? Another rare instance wherein I agree with Mr. Milbank completely. 25 Signs That America Is A Seething Cesspool Of Filth And Corruption http://albertpeia.com/25signsamericacesspooloffilthcrimeandcorruption.htm . Review of flawed forensics held close to vest EXCLUSIVE | Documents and interviews show FBI and Justice Department officials took steps to control information uncovered by a task force designed to examine cases involving discredited agents. Many defendants were never notified of flaws in cases. ‘Simply unconscionable’ (Washington Post) [ Well, I really have to say this. I’m awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ) .

In this civil RICO matter, there are no innocent bystanders; but rather, perpetrators, accomplices, and co-conspirators. When the fbi agent initially assigned to this matter (Connecticut) abruptly resigned/retired shortly after a conversation, though not central to my case, wherein I had said that rudy giuliani’s father had been an (convicted) enforcer for the mob (served 12 years? in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter?) and then sent him documentation owing to his disbelief. Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard. I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agent’s departure who somewhat plaintively (‘my call being a burden’) told me that ‘he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari’, which he didn’t explain further. Could anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jersey’s FBI office, I was ‘greeted’ by an FBI Agent who sarcastically asked me whether I was ‘going to the disco that night’ (the documents including sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alito’s office in the same building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   . We all can infer sam alito’s reward / quid pro quo for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme court.  There was never a question as to maryanne trump barry’s interest in corrupting the judicial process as related to her brother’s (trump) casinos. Jersey city boy louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klaiman as the most corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly holder’s impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvd’s sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference.

SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE DEBT LIMIT
Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

ATF Chief Melson:Justice Department trying to shield officials (LATimes) Serrano

 

I believe him!

 I truly empathize with the ATF in terms of government cover-ups, notably by even the DOJ. You’ll recognize some familiar names (ie., Alito, Trump, Freeh (Louis Freeh now has dual citizenship with Italy), and some familiar crimes (ie., drug money laundering, etc. – real cash cow for gov’t ops, bribes, etc.). [Did you know this about the following ATF Agents who were probably viewed as loose ends: Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeahan & Conway LeBleu:   Died February 28, 1993 by gunfire at Waco. All four were examined by a pathologist and died from identical wounds to the left temple. All four had been body guards for Bill Clinton, three while campaigning for President and when he was Governor of Arkansas.They also were the ONLY 4 BATF agents killed at Waco. ]

Here’s some real, complicit cover-up / fraud on the part of the federal government, et als:

Federal Bureau of Investigation, USDOJ

Los Angeles, CA 90024

 

 Dear Sir:

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer’s browser) as per your office’s request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I’ve installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named ‘112208opocoan’). The (civil) RICO action (as you’re aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBI’s LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did – he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? – and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation – Andrew Maloney’s the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

·         A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..

·         Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.

·         The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages:   [  Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File        Page 1                Page 2          ]

·         Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [   transcript in pertinent part -     http://albertpeia.com/crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf    ]

·         Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

·         Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.],   Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Peia:

Thank you for being in touch.  As we continue the busy first session of the 112th Congress, I want you to know that I am grateful for the various times you have shared your thoughts and concerns with me on different issues.  Please be assured that your voice is being heard and that your perspective helps me to better represent you in Washington, D.C.

[ This is a reply to the Congresswoman’s query among others included.]

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. 43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

 

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

Sincerely,

Albert L. Peia

 

America also leads in the illegal drug trade.  In fact, many researchers reveal that the war on drugs is only utilized to control and monopolize the illicit drug trade.  The US government has been caught multiple times shipping in cocaine [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvbdiWgwsA , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQNSoOX-dcw&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG1Id2qpSOE&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEUhpxeuP4&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyM43Sw2OVc&feature=related ] , colluding with certain cartels [ http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/08/does_mexican_drug_cartel_have_deal_with_us_government.html ] to control the industry, and now openly protects and transports opium from Afghanistan [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElEciFI0Pew ] .  In fact, Global Research points out that in 2001, “according to UN figures, opium production had fallen to 185 tons. Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [ http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world ] ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

{ I’m really constrained to interject my own direct experience with the FBI here; and, I must say I do so lamentably. If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the ‘tough’ questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal ‘drug ops’ (ops…riiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You can’t make this stuff up. I also don’t believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. I’m beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the ‘federal (judicial) system’ who share the ‘same employer’; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared ‘more fairly’ with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:

 

Debauchery: An American specialty In the land of Lindsay Lohan and Snooki, some federal workers reflect our culture all too well. (Washington Post) [ Lindsay Lohan? Come on Mr. Milbank, hands off the low hanging fruit. She’s totally harmless. Jersey ‘italian’ snooki? In mob infested new jersey, who knows (one of the properties in my proceedings for which surplus funds are unaccounted for was a 2 bedroom 1 and 1/2 bath condominium in seaside heights, n.j.). But debauchery an american specialty? Another rare instance wherein I agree with Mr. Milbank completely. 25 Signs That America Is A Seething Cesspool Of Filth And Corruption http://albertpeia.com/25signsamericacesspooloffilthcrimeandcorruption.htm . Review of flawed forensics held close to vest EXCLUSIVE | Documents and interviews show FBI and Justice Department officials took steps to control information uncovered by a task force designed to examine cases involving discredited agents. Many defendants were never notified of flaws in cases. ‘Simply unconscionable’ (Washington Post) [ Well, I really have to say this. I’m awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ) . Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed the level and extent of corruption and criminality within the ranks of the u.s. government before embarking upon this costly quest for justice and simple fairness consistent with clear law (infra, regarding the u.s. government’s direct involvement in the illegal drug trade). In this civil RICO matter, there are no innocent bystanders; but rather, perpetrators, accomplices, and co-conspirators. When the fbi agent initially assigned to this matter (Connecticut) abruptly resigned/retired shortly after a conversation, though not central to my case, wherein I had said that rudy giuliani’s father had been an (convicted) enforcer for the mob (served 12 years? in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter?) and then sent him documentation owing to his disbelief. Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard. I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agent’s departure who somewhat plaintively (‘my call being a burden’) told me that ‘he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari’, which he didn’t explain further. Could anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jersey’s FBI office, I was ‘greeted’ by an FBI Agent who sarcastically asked me whether I was ‘going to the disco that night’ (the documents including sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alito’s office in the same building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   . We all can infer sam alito’s reward / quid pro quo for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme court.  There was never a question as to maryanne trump barry’s interest in corrupting the judicial process as related to her brother’s (trump) casinos. Jersey city boy louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klaiman as the most corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly holder’s impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvd’s sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference. I’m currently being ‘stonewalled’ by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI Agent Bill Lewis.

Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard. I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agent’s departure who somewhat plaintively (‘my call being a burden’) told me that ‘he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari’, which he didn’t explain further. Could anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jersey’s FBI office, I was ‘greeted’ by an FBI Agent who sarcastically asked me whether I was ‘going to the disco that night’ (the documents including sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alito’s office in the same building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   . We all can infer sam alito’s reward / quid pro quo for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme court.  There was never a question as to maryanne trump barry’s interest in corrupting the judicial process as related to her brother’s (trump) casinos. Jersey city by louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klaiman as the most corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly holder’s impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvd’s sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference. I’m currently being ‘stonewalled’ by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI Agent Bill Lewis.

 

SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE DEBT LIMIT
Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

ATF Chief Melson:Justice Department trying to shield officials (LATimes) Serrano

 

I believe him!

 I truly empathize with the ATF in terms of government cover-ups, notably by even the DOJ. You’ll recognize some familiar names (ie., Alito, Trump, Freeh (Louis Freeh now has dual citizenship with Italy), and some familiar crimes (ie., drug money laundering, etc. – real cash cow for gov’t ops, bribes, etc.). [Did you know this about the following ATF Agents who were probably viewed as loose ends: Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeahan & Conway LeBleu:   Died February 28, 1993 by gunfire at Waco. All four were examined by a pathologist and died from identical wounds to the left temple. All four had been body guards for Bill Clinton, three while campaigning for President and when he was Governor of Arkansas.They also were the ONLY 4 BATF agents killed at Waco. ]

Here’s some real, complicit cover-up / fraud on the part of the federal government, et als:

 Dear Sir:

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer’s browser) as per your office’s request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I’ve installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named ‘112208opocoan’). The (civil) RICO action (as you’re aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBI’s LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did – he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? – and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation – Andrew Maloney’s the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

·         A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..

·         Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.

·         The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages:   [  Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File        Page 1                Page 2          ]

·         Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [   transcript in pertinent part -     http://albertpeia.com/crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf    ]

·         Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

·         Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.],   Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

Thank you for being in touch.  As we continue the busy first session of the 112th Congress, I want you to know that I am grateful for the various times you have shared your thoughts and concerns with me on different issues.  Please be assured that your voice is being heard and that your perspective helps me to better represent you in Washington, D.C.

[ This is a reply to the Congresswoman’s query among others included.]

 

11-5-11

 

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. 43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

 

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

‘If the case of white supremacist Hal Turner taught us anything, it is that the government manufactures Nazis and racists from whole cloth and then uses them to push hysterical domestic terrorist propaganda and self-aggrandizement.

It came out during Turner’s trial that he was a “National Security Intelligence” asset working for the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force. His code name was “Valhalla” and “he received thousands of dollars from the FBI to report on such groups as the Aryan Nations and the white supremacist National Alliance, and even a member of the Blue Eyed Devils skinhead punk band,” according to The Record.

The FBI has run racist and white supremacist groups since the 1960s. Under COINTELPRO, the FBI “subsidized, armed, directed and protected the Ku Klux Klan and other right-wing groups,” Brian Glick writes. Racist groups were used to create a strategy of tension by attacking groups on the so-called left, including anti-war, Chicano and Puerto Rican activists and nationalists.

More recently, in 2007, the FBI organized a neo-Nazi march in Orlando, Florida. The FBI’s “informant” (agent provocateur) “was one of the most visible individuals in the National Socialist Movement,” according to Andy Rosenkranz, state regional director for the Anti-Defamation League. “Generally, the FBI and the JTTF (Joint Terrorism Task Force) in Florida does an excellent job.”

The FBI has also infiltrated a number of supposed Muslim terrorists groups and has wheedled, cajoled and otherwise manipulated patsies into agreeing to commit terror attacks.

In October, Mother Jones revealed that the FBI is notorious for creating supposed terrorist groups from scratch and then framing patsies in order to claim the government is protecting the United States from terrorists. The number of government informants and agents provocateurs has grown exponentially since the 1970s when the FBI claimed it shut down COINTELPRO.

On Tuesday, the New York Daily News reported the FBI’s latest terrorist creation – the 1st SS Kavallerie Brigade Motorcycle Division, founded in 2007 to recruit neo-Nazi bikers for the Aryan Nations, a white supremacist terrorist organization, according to Anthony Bartkewicz.

“One member offered a $1,000 reward for the shooting of a black man. Others stockpiled explosives to be used in terror attacks on U.S. targets,” writes Bartkewicz. “But the biker gang was founded by undercover law enforcement agents in Florida, and eventually 20 people were arrested for a range of offenses, from dealing drugs to possessing illegal weapons and plotting murders, the Orlando Sentinel reported.”

In May, the FBI took down a group of mentally challenged white supremacists belonging to the American Front, a group on the edge of extinction in the early 2000s but resuscitated on the internet. The FBI claimed the group was “planning to kill Jews and minorities in the ‘inevitable’ race war, according to an affidavit obtained by the Orlando Sentinel. The Sentinel reports that the group also looked to manufacture ricin, a ‘weapon of mass destruction,’” CBS Tampa reported.
Fear and loathing by liberals over FBI manufactured racist threat.

Considering the FBI’s track record, however, it is likely the ricin plot was concocted by the agency and then fed to the American Front patsies prior to the sensationalized bust. Patsies rarely devise their own plots and are carefully managed by the agency and its army of informants and agents provocateurs.

The Nazi biker group created by the FBI after the Aryan Nations said it wanted to form a Nazi motorcycle club to serve as the militant arm for white supremacists across the country, according to records obtained by the Orlando Sentinel.

“Using a false identity, the agent with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office became the Aryan Nations’ top Florida administrator responsible for recruiting members for what would become the 1st SS Kavallerie Brigade Motorcycle Division — operating out of a clubhouse in St. Cloud,” Henry Pierson Curtis writes for the Sentinel.

“Early members included at least two additional undercover FBI agents – who infiltrated the club — and a biker accused of offering $1,000 to anyone willing to shoot a black man riding an ATV in rural Osceola County, records show.”

In 2007, a FBI informant, Rick Spring, admitted to running the Aryan Nations. “In a confessional emailed out to white nationalist leaders, federal informant and convicted bank robber Rick Spring admitted today that he operated the Aryan Nations as a false flag front group for the FBI after the death of Richard Butler,” wrote Bill White, editor of the Libertarian Socialist News.

Government connections to terror groups are legion. In 2004, for instance, the FBI revealed the Southern Poverty Law Center was involved with government operative and convicted Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh and the Aryan Republican Army at Elohim City. McVeigh’s contact at Elohim City was Andreas Carl Strassmeir, a former German intelligence officer. Peter Langan, the son of a retired U.S. Marine intelligence officer and said to be the leader of the Aryan Republican Army, was a government informant.

The SS Kavallerie Brigade Motorcycle Division, responsible for setting up the American Front, is yet another convoluted government fabrication designed to convince ill-informed Americans that radical Muslims are not the only threat they face. So are white guys with tattoos on their foreheads.

The absurdly overblown threat of skinheads gunning for minorities plays right into the Department of Homeland Security’s “rightwing extremist” narrative.

“Threats from white supremacist and violent antigovernment groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts,” the DHS wrote in a 2009 for eyes-only memo subsequently leaked to Infowars.com and others, but “have capitalized on the election of the first African American president, and are focusing their efforts to recruit new members, mobilize existing supporters, and broaden their scope and appeal through propaganda, but they have not yet turned to attack planning.”

The FBI’s contrived plots – including purported violence against police and officialdom by the Hutaree militia and now a supposed weapons of mass destruction attack by the American Front – are designed primarily for propaganda purposes. The Hutaree militia was vindicated in court and the accusations against the American Front will likely also eventually be reduced and revealed as government grandstanding, although this will not be reported on the front page in blazing headlines.’

Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   BULLISH QE ALGOS 7-27-12  ‘It’s difficult to comprehend the tape sometimes, especially when you try to square it with the overall news. The bottom line is bulls have placed their bets that the eurozone will be fixed and weaker U.S. GDP both will be met by a heavy dose of QE. Everything else doesn’t matter. Bulls don’t believe the Germans, despite Bundesbank’s comments to the contrary; will block bond buying by Draghi and the ECB. The key phrase in the linked WSJ article was, “If there is no ECB bond buying next week stocks will collapse”. { AP: What I really can’t fathom is how, why people are so eager to support the churn-and-earn paper fraud on wall street (their computers are literally selling to themselves along with the other programmed algo insanity – helping/facilitating these costly wall street frauds which have not helped but in many ways hurt the real economy – their gain is everyone else’s pain as that money in their pockets must come from some real place; viz., your pockets – there’s no free lunch). Their buying time with b***s*** also facilitates the transfer of their ‘worthless paper hot potatoes’ to ie., taxpayers, governments, etc.. Totally pathetic! We’re way past the ‘fool me twice, shame on me’ stage!  They really have to be prosecuted and put in jail where they belong. They’re just not that important and they are a substantial detriment to the real economy and society generally. They have no fear of prosecution and have continued their paper frauds where they left off last crisis, and seek once again to cash out for hard currency, metals with the greater fools holding their worthless paper bag. I used to follow the markets when value/valuation meant something. Now I track them only to discern the ever greater frauds and the ‘political connectivity’ to same. }

One need but follow the former on Twitter for a quick and concise sampling of the sentiments harbored vis-a-vis the latter. However, in the following interview Barfosky does touch on some points which in the context of the recent Liborgate, should be brought front and center, especially since the increasingly apathetic US audience seems to not care about one bit (as opposed to their distant cousins across the Atlantic for whom Lieborgate has become a daily distraction). Namely, what Barofsky says is that Geithner and other regulators who allowed Lieborgate to proceed should not only lose their job but we should "see [Geithner] in handcuffs."  Sadly that will never happen as it would actually be a deterrent to future crime among the highest echelons of America: something which is just not allowed to happen in a system whose very survival is increasingly reliant on rampant criminality. { Unfortunately, this is true and documented early on from my direct experience: The unfortunate reality is what I’ve alluded to in the context of my own direct experience; viz., america’s ‘legal system’ is an illegal system used to cover-up crimes, arbitrarily enforce laws to apply pressure, etc., and essentially run by the inmates of this collective criminal entity called america: http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf

Biderman Batters 'Believe-Me'-Draghi  ZeroHedge.com  Tyler Durden  Somewhat stunned by the market's exuberant reaction to Mario Draghi's 'Believe Me' speech this morning, Charles Biderman, CEO of TrimTabs, sees the slow-motion train-wreck that is the European crisis speeding up and rapidly running out of track. Charles sees the European crisis as "not a solvable problem the way the world works today." Neither Draghi nor any of the bankers even bothers to talk about the real problem of not enough regional income and too much government spending. Draghi's only solution is some form of money printing. "Printing money to pay bills maybe will work over the short term. But long term, it cannot"; if money printing works in the real world why not print and give every one a billion Dollars, Euros or Yen? While governments will do anything to maintain the status quo (and avoid the tough times ahead), Charles succinctly reminds that, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions

 

Guest Post: 4 Reasons Why You Should Stop Believing In Chinese Leadership  Did you know that Chinese government officials are all corrupt? Did you know that many of Chinese statistics look either weird or totally unreliable to a point that even the Vice Premier can’t help admitting it? People outside of China have never really trusted the Chinese Communist Party as far as politics are concerned, and probably never will. However, the seemingly unstoppable growth engine of China has produced a remarkable level of complacency among investors that China is going to do well. While recent economic data from China are mixed at best, the market consensus is unanimously biased towards believing that the second quarter is the bottom. We do not understand the reasons behind the faith in the Chinese leadership as far as running the economy is concerned.  Here are a few reasons why you should just stop believing in the Chinese leadership when it comes to running the economy.  ,  Citi On Draghi: Expect Nothing From The ECB Before The ESM Is Active (In September At The Earliest)  , The US Is Not Japan Or Your Average Stagnation: It Is Much Worse  ,  Barofsky On Geithner: "We Should See People In Handcuffs"  There is no point in recapping the ongoing vendetta between former SIGTARP Neil Barofsky and former head of the NY Fed, and current Treasury secretary and resident TurboTax expert Tim Geithner.

{ My own feeling on the subject is live and let live, but that the state has no place in getting ‘behind’ this contraindicated behavior. Look at the subject cities rallying in the name of ‘cornholin’ (For the gay vote? How totally pathetic!). Without exception, they are literally domestic war zones, in decay, decline, and heading as the nation toward fiscal ruin, defacto/outright bankruptcy. They really should be concentrating on things that really matter before foolishly attacking freedom of speech. Previously: EVOLUTION: OBAMA NOW BACKS GAY MARRIAGE…     [  Well, with some frolicking documented cocaine/gay sex romping in his past, he’d be hard pressed not to. Interestingly, Clit Eastwood has come out in favor of gay marriage saying he doesn’t give a f**k… good for you Clit; spoken like a true egalitarian. Truth be told, I always liked those spagetti westerns that put him on the map; his own ‘Pale Rider’, particularly; and of course, the ‘Dirty Harry’ series. Aside from that, I find him/his films boring, shallow, and plebian beyond tears; hardly the philosopher king. Yet, I also don’t give a f**k regarding gays living their lives as they wish, with full constitutional protections consistent with their presumed law-abiding lives, particularly in a world like this, such as it is. But, that doesn’t mean the ‘state’ must get behind (no pun intended) same. There are few if any legal statuses that can’t be achieved through legal document, ie., adoptions, trust beneficiaries, etc.. Marriage, procreation, the province of a man/woman relationship has always been a given. Also interesting was the take on same by reknown Psychiatrist Maslow (his famed, laudable work regarding hierarchy of needs, etc., needs no introduction) who wrote and posited that homosexuality was physically, anatomically contraindicated. Again, let me reiterate a live, let live position while cautioning against the state getting behind (again, no pun) same and potentially giving young, pubescent, impressionable boys the idea that penises were made for male a**holes and not female vaginas. ] ...  OBAMA ADMITS FABRICATING GIRLFRIEND IN MEMOIR { Latent gay man obama -  ...   Barack Obama: The Naked Emperor Shocking but true revelations from David Icke| ..Obama is just more of the same, a big smile with strings attached, and controlled completely by those that chose him, trained him, sold him and provided his record funding, kept his many skeletons under wraps, like the gay sex and crack cocaine .. Larry Sinclair (from affidavit: 1. Who is Ron Allen that claims to be with your Presidential camp, who is alleged to claim that someone claiming to represent me called asking for $100,000, to keep me from coming forward about our (Obama and I) November 1999 encounter of sex and cocaine use?), ...

12 Pictures That Demonstrate How The New World Order Openly Mocks Us

http://albertpeia.com/newworldordervedgesmockus.htm

{ First, let me say that the vedges of the so-called new world order are in no real position to mock anyone, so mockable as they indeed are, as the incompetent vegetables that they in fact are, who have been the very architects of ultimately their own and the planet’s decline, fall, and demise. Yet, there is no question but that the ‘masses’ so mocked, deserve to be mocked, having embraced their dismal fate at every turn; viz., their embrace of ‘political correctness’, though contraindicated, as, ie., the embrace of the violent, destructive nigger who literally would have them for dinner, or the compulsion to embrace that which the state says is right, though contraindicated, for political expedience owing to failure fed (including the incompetent missteps of the failed fed) desperation, ie., gay marriage, etc., contrived wars / conflicts, among other clearly observable, self-interested behavior of people, companies, nations, including the gargantuan bailed out frauds on wall street to everyone’s (but the frauds’) detriment, still unprosecuted. That the jive-talking, b***s*** artist/grifter/con-man obama has not been held to even one of his former now broken campaign promises and is embraced by those foolish enough to believe more of the same is testament to how deserving of mocking the masses truly are (people should be outraged and wobama should be ‘ridden out on a rail’). Make no mistake; the reality is that the ‘new world order’/so-called ‘elite’ are not elite at all; but rather, incompetent vegetables who can’t do anything right as they’ve now proven time and time again. As I previously said: The Elite Believe That You Are Ruining Their Planet And They Want You To Stop Reproducing

{ First and foremost clarification: There are no elite on this planet. The grim reality for this planet is a dominant species descended from initially notochords, primitive chordates, and relatively more recently primitive apes.

David Stockman: "The Capital Markets Are Simply A Branch Casino Of The Central Bank"

"This market isn't real. The two percent on the ten-year, the ninety basis points on the five-year, thirty basis points on a one-year – those are medicated, pegged rates created by the Fed and which fast-money traders trade against as long as they are confident the Fed can keep the whole market rigged. Nobody in their right mind wants to own the ten-year bond at a two percent interest rate. But they're doing it because they can borrow overnight money for free, ten basis points, put it on repo, collect 190 basis points a spread, and laugh all the way to the bank. And they will keep laughing all the way to the bank on Wall Street until they lose confidence in the Fed's ability to keep the yield curve pegged where it is today. If the bond ever starts falling in price, they unwind the carry trade. Then you get a message, "Do not pass go." Sell your bonds, unwind your overnight debt, your repo positions. And the system then begins to contract... The Fed has destroyed the money market. It has destroyed the capital markets. They have something that you can see on the screen called an "interest rate." That isn't a market price of money or a market price of five-year debt capital. That is an administered price that the Fed has set and that every trader watches by the minute to make sure that he's still in a positive spread. And you can't have capitalism if the capital markets are dead, if the capital markets are simply a branch office – branch casino – of the central bank. That's essentially what we have today."

After all, last month alone, 85,000 Americans signed on for Social Security disability cheques, which exceeded the 80,000 net new jobs that were created: and a record 46 million Americans or 14.8% of the population (also a record) are in the Food Stamp program (participation averaged 7.9% from 1970 to 2000, by way of contrast) — enrollment has risen an average of over 400,000 per month over the past four years. A record share of 41% pay zero national incomes tax as well (58 million), a share that has doubled over the past two decades. Increasingly, the U.S. is following in the footsteps of Europe of becoming a nation of dependants.

Why We’re Called Phoenix Capital Research

July 23, 2012 By gpc1981   http://albertpeia.com/europesystemiccollapse.htm

‘…We are Phoenix Capital Research.With that in mind, it’s clear now that the world is entering a period of wealth destruction. Europe is in the midst of a sovereign debt crisis. History tells us that this will entail more than one sovereign nation going belly-up. Indeed, I believe that we’ll see ALL of the PIIGS as well as France stage sovereign defaults in the coming months.

After that will come Japan, then finally the US. By the time the smoke clears, we will have seen systemic collapse.

This will mean:

1)   Many major banks disappearing, as well as numerous potentially lengthy bank holidays (think Argentina in 2001)

2)   Multiple sovereign defaults as well as broad economic contractions and their commensurate unemployment/ civil unrest/ erasure of retirement accounts/ pensions (this process has already begun in some US municipals, e.g. San Bernandino and Stockton California as well as Harrisburg Pennsylvania).

3)   Possibly new currencies being introduced or new denominations of currencies (say one new unit being worth 1,000 of the old one)

4)   Massive wealth destruction to the tune of tens of trillions of Dollars (think MF Global i.e. the money is gone… only systemically… in fact we just had another such instance with PF)

5)   A global contraction that will result in new political/ power structures being implemented as well as the breakup of various countries/ unions.

6)   Very serious trade wars to begin (see Obama’s recent attack on China) and very possibly a real war.

If the above make you frightened, you’re not alone. As I’ve dug deeper and deeper into the inner workings of the global financial system over the past months, the information I’ve come across has only gotten worse. I’ve been holding off writing all of this because up until roughly April/May it seemed possible that the world might veer towards another outcome.

I no longer view this to be the case. I am almost certain that what I’ve written above will come to pass. I know that much of what I’ve written to you in the past could be labeled as “gloom and doom.” However, I want you to know that I do not use the words “systemic collapse” lightly. Indeed, I wish I wasn’t mentioning them now, but I’d be doing you a disservice not to bring them up because we’re well on our way towards it…’

This ‘bad news is good’ scenario based upon hopes for contraindicated, egregiously failed QE for the benefit of the frauds on wall street only to the detriment of everyone else with such hopium rallying stocks has gone beyond the point of ridiculous. It’s really rather pathetic, these so-called wall street mavens/titans of capitalism, the largest of which remain unprosecuted for their huge, lucrative, debilitating frauds wanting/expecting even more on the public dole. They’ve even gotten to the point where their computers are selling to themselves for the ‘churn and earn’ along with the algo-driven contraindicated moves up. The markets are totally cooked! Dave as always is spot-on the case! } 

 

This Is The Government: Your Legal Right To Redeem Your Money Market Account Has Been Denied - The Sequel  ZeroHedge.com  Tyler Durden  Two years ago, in January 2010, Zero Hedge wrote "This Is The Government: Your Legal Right To Redeem Your Money Market Account Has Been Denied" which became one of our most read stories of the year. The reason? Perhaps something to do with an implicit attempt at capital controls by the government on one of the primary forms of cash aggregation available: $2.7 trillion in US money market funds. The proximal catalyst back then were new proposed regulations seeking to pull one of these three core pillars (these being no volatility, instantaneous liquidity, and redeemability) from the foundation of the entire money market industry, by changing the primary assumptions of the key Money Market Rule 2a-7. A key proposal would give money market fund managers the option to "suspend redemptions to allow for the orderly liquidation of fund assets."  ,  Guest Post: Where Is The Line For Revolution?  The subject of revolution is a touchy one.  It’s not a word that should be thrown around lightly, and when it is uttered at all, it elicits a chaotic jumble of opinions and debates from know-it-alls the world over.  The “R” word has been persona non grata for quite some time in America, and until recently, was met with jeers and knee-jerk belligerence.  However, let’s face it; today, the idea is not so far fetched.  We have a global banking system that is feeding like a tapeworm in the stagnant guts of our economy.  We suffer an election system so fraudulent BOTH sides of the political spectrum now represent a hyper-rich minority while the rest of us are simply expected to play along and enjoy the illusion of choice.  We have a judicial body that has gone out of its way to whittle down our civil liberties and to marginalize our Constitution as some kind of “outdated relic”.  We have an executive branch that issues special orders like monarchical edicts every month, each new order even more invasive and oppressive than the last.  And, we have an establishment system that now believes it has the right to surveil the citizenry en masse and on the slightest whim without any consideration for 4th Amendment protections. Unless tomorrow brings a miraculous shift in current totalitarian trends, revolution may be all we have left...  ,  Deja Food: Will Social Unrest Surge As Corn Prices Soar?  ,  Guest Post: Market-Top Economics  Market-top economics could be an entire university course, if people cared enough about such phenomena.  Most only consider the signs of a market top months or years after a crash when some unyielding economics researcher puts the pieces together.  As human-beings we have developed an uncanny ability to rationalize what we know to be bad news and convince ourselves, "This time is different," despite the fact that it usually never is. In a previous article we provided analysis on economic/equity decoupling (cognitive dissonance) and showed that the economy as we know it cannot persist--we are either due for a literal gap-up in leading economic conditions, or we are due for a serious correction in US equities.  With today's 5.4% slip in existing home-sales, let's go with the latter.  ,  Ray Dalio's Bridgewater On The "Self Re-Inforcing Global Decline"  ,  Guest Post: Corporate Profits Surge At Expense Of Workers  ,  The Philly Fed Just Signaled The End Of Obama's 'Jobs' Recovery?  ,  Guest Post: We've Decoupled, Alright - From Reality  ,  What Housing Recovery?

STUDY: Girls As Young As 6 See Themselves As Sex Objects... { Wow! This is really quite alarming and bespeaks america’s new-found perverse, third-world uncivilized status, which is ‘picked up’ by kids who in some ways are smarter than given credit for with a vulnerable longing to please, be accepted in light of their powerless position in our ever more deteriorating society. For the record, personally, I’ve never had a virgin though I’ve been in a position to; that’s something I just don’t do. Never have, never wanted to, never would, never will! Moreover, with the prevalence of sick pedophiles and kiddie-porn, it’s not so surprising that kids might pick up on such abominable vibes. It is difficult to imagine that little girls could be the objects of such horror as, ie., Samantha Runnion ( who
was kidnapped, sexually abused and strangled by a man who lured her from her front yard by telling her he had lost his dog. Her naked body was found the next day by a hiker in Cleveland National Forest, 50 miles southeast of Stanton.[1] The autopsy revealed that she died from compression. A sample of the kidnapper's DNA was found under her fingernail. The suspect, a Lake Elsinore, California, man named Alejandro Avila, was convicted of first degree murder with special circumstances in May 2005. His DNA was found on Samantha's body, and her DNA was found in his car. He was arrested three days after the abduction. Avila had previously been to the condominium complex where Samantha lived, because his ex-girlfriend resided there and he had been previously acquitted of molesting her daughter and niece. On May 16, 2005, the jury recommended he receive the death penalty. On July 22, 2005, Avila was formally sentenced to death. He is incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison on death row ). As an aside, I’ve included the following for the record as well: Though I’ve had many consensual sexual liasons with many different female sexual partners all of whom I liked, I’ve never, ever resorted to prostitutes. The accidental exceptions included two ‘call girls’; one having met at summer beach town bar matinee and who was ‘not working’ (as it turned out the reason being she was at the end of her menstrual cycle). The other at a grocery store with her daughter which made such in my mind, unlikely. As it turned out, both were ‘nymphomaniacs’ (which, truth be told, made for quite an exceptional sexual romp) and I simplistically inferred/surmised without dwelling on the subject that they probably expected they’d have inordinate amounts of sex anyway and might as well get paid for it – of course I didn’t nor was I asked to. The other incident I’m including here for the record concerned an absolutely beautiful (blonde hair, blue eyes, pretty, cute, perfectly built/proportioned – make no mistake, however, I like brunettes also) girl I met at a bar called ‘the Red Ranch’, later changed to ‘Harpoon Willy’s’. At closing, we immediately became amorous, near intimate to a point in my car with abrupt ‘resistance’ at the ‘crucial moments’. When I finally, ‘exasperated’, asked ‘what’s up’, she stated she had recently broken up with her boyfriend who had gone too far in the ‘sado-masochistic’ ritual behavior they were, and she still was into. I told her I wasn’t into it  (I don’t connect sex with sado-masochism); never would, never did, never will. We talked for quite some time and she explained her ‘predisposition’ the (her perceived) consequence of her strict, puritanical upbringing and feelings of guilt concomitant with sexual activity requiring coincident punishment/pain when so engaged. I was busy with law school evenings, work, and teaching at a local college part-time and parted ways without taking her number and never did see her again. }  { Previously, for the record: Yes...it's absolutely, unequivocally true that blacks are inherently uncivilized and in evolutionary terms, only evolved to a point ( http://albertpeia.com/anthroindex1.htm ). They are themselves racist, intolerant, hypocritical [ UPDATE: MORE CLAIMS OF RACE BIAS AT HOLDER JUSTICE DEPARTMENT... (WP) ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims ' ], and prone to violence as with any feral animal. Moreover, I must admit that I find their simian look repulsive; and, even before totally realizing the foregoing reality owing to self-destructive egalitarian propaganda, never did and never would know a black female in the biblical sense (despite their ‘intrusively easy availability’, in my view a form of bestiality - not a matter of skin color inasmuch as I have ‘known biblically’ red-Indian, brown-Hispanic, yellow-Oriental women). Wobama the b for b***s*** is a typical, jive-talking 'n-word' and consequently as well, an abject failure as president. I was fortunate to have no blacks whatsoever in my schools (schooling) through high school. }

This doesn’t make sense despite all the mainstream reports that American troops are protecting the poppy farmers from the bad guys.

Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   http://etfdigest.com/commentary.html FRIDAY THE 13TH BAD NEWS BULLS  7-13-12  { I’d go even further than Dave in terms of cynicism and point to what is tantamount to the ‘pump and dumps’, programmed ‘churn and earn’, ponzis, etc., and posit that they already know the news is going to be bad because the reality is that the economy, financial institutions sitting on worthless paper marked to anything with many trillions in derivatives exposure, the nation, the system are all broke/broken and it’s merely their attempt in their fraudulent ‘alice in wonderland’ way to condition the Pavlov dogs of wall street et als to salivate on the prospect of bad news which is coming anyway. The fact is, fraudulent wall street’s paper churning gains by way of QE are Main Street’s and the real economy’s losses. There are no free lunches; so this is a great opportunity to sell/take profits since there’s much, much worse to come. Really! }

Full PFG CEO Suicide Note

"I have committed fraud. For this I feel constant and intense guilt...

The forgeries started nearly twenty years ago...

Should I go out of business or cheat...

 I guess my ego was too big to admit failure..."

 

PFG Head Arrested

UPDATE: Suicide note details added:

While unable to successfully kill himself, it appears the CEO of PFGBest is even less successful at evading the police. As just reported,

What is probably more concerning to him now is the fact that he was not a Presidential bundler - as the Big House is definitely calling...

Obama: Biggest mistake too much perspiration, not enough inspiration  [What total b***s***!] { Biggest mistake: too much b***s***, not enough substance; that’s reality, not spin! }  White House on weak jobs report: Don’t ‘read too much’ into it    Olivier Knox, Yahoo! News  { Riiiiight! Sounds like a plan! After all, wobama’s gotten’ by on b***s*** and ‘special consideration’ alone, never having done anything of substance in his entire life. Indeed, even his so-called ‘auto-biographies’ are works of what appear to be ‘choom-gang’ induced fantasies which reveal a psychogenic/dissociative amnesia that works well in the continuing ‘narrative’ devoid of fact on his ‘more b*** s*** campaign trail’ littered with the cowpies of stark reality. People owe themselves and their children more than this grifter’s con which in numbers measures more than the increased deficits of all the presidents since President General Eisenhower combined to obfuscate his unequivocal failure. http://albertpeia.com/10waysobamakillingjobsinamerica.htm    }  Obama Asks People Getting Married To Forgo Gifts...
Donate To His Campaign Instead...
[ Wobama is so pathetic! Sure, sacrifice for the grifter wobamas so they can continue livin’ large on the taxpayer dime while accomplishing nothing except greater public debt to hide his failure. This from the record holder for fundraisers, 151 and counting. Then there’s the 100 plus rounds of golf in addition to being famously over-vacationed while in office. It’s laughable to hear him blame congress for his lack of accomplishments when the reality is that he ‘really wasn’t there’ for any of it. For wobama the presidency is just endless debate, rhetoric, campaigning, vacationing, soundbites from the teleprompted speeches, jive-talk, b***s***, and ‘choom fantasy’. He’s a total fraud and failure and anyone who buys into election-year desperation / promises, etc., is just a fool of the worst kind!   AP: ‘…
THE FACTS: Five Senate Democrats voted against sending the DREAM Act to the Senate floor for full consideration. The bill would have created a path to citizenship for many young illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children. Last week, Obama announced plans to stop deporting illegal immigrants who would have qualified for the DREAM Act. The policy change does not include a path to citizenship…’ Then there’s the other meretricious ‘wobama desperation hail mary’ that once again falls short. Indeed, as an investor, one analyzes earnings, projects prospective earnings over a 3-5 year horizon, and the quality of the earnings along macro economic factors which are affected by ‘political considerations’. Does anyone remember the honorable Ross Perot who warned of NAFTA’s effect on american jobs even as the democrat administration et als were hell-bent on passing same? Should Romney have breached his legal duty to shareholders and invested in companies with poor earnings prospects? After all, in the financial / security analysis step of projecting the income statement, prospective labor costs figure prominently in the bottomline. In sum, Romney took conditions as he found them, and made the prudent choices which as per his legal duty were optimal for those who put their trust in him. For those who put their trust in proven failure wobama, all they have to show for such misplaced trust are broken campaign promises, now insurmountable record deficit spending exceeding all the presidents since Eisenhower combined to obfuscate what clearly has been wobama’s unequivocal failure. ]

YET, IT’S A MULTITUDE OF REALITIES; FROM INVARIABLY BROKEN CAMPAIGN PROMISES (Roche 'The worst part of it  ...Obama, who vowed change, has done almost nothing to fix any of it and in fact continues most of the policies that helped get us here in the first place’  ‘INSIDE JOB’ Ferguson wins Oscar for Documentary on the unprosecuted massive extant fraud in the (many) TRILLIONS by the frauds on wall street ( and declares with oscar in hand that not one high level wall street exec has been prosecuted … despite ‘earning’ billions from the fraud ) Cases against Wall Street lag despite Holder’s vows to target financial fraud  WP Obama has promised to hold Wall Street accountable for the meltdown. ‘THE OBAMA DECEPTION’  http://albertpeia.com/obamadeceptionhighqualityversion.flv , etc.) , TO VERY REAL BIRTH ISSUES (WHAT PERSON FAILS TO GET THEIR PLACE OF BIRTH CORRECT – THE FRAUDULENT WOBAMA KIND http://albertpeia.com/wasntbornintheusa.htm  http://albertpeia.com/obp.jpg  http://albertpeia.com/impeachobama.htm  ) , TO THE CURRENT OBFUSCATING FRAUD,  Obama's Five Trillion Dollar Lie  http://albertpeia.com/obamas5trilliondollarlie.htm  { the economy is  already in depression in real terms when taking into account real inflation numbers.

Barack Obama has been President for 30 months—2-1/2 years. He spent the first year obsessed with passing Obamacare, a program that doesn’t create jobs, but might destroy a lot of them.  He “bailed out” GM, but many believe that his interference didn’t save GM; it merely cost taxpayers an extra $15-20 billion, and stole from legitimate investors to buy off the UAW.  His broken campaign promises are too numerous to list…’). IT IS NOTHING SHORT OF TRAGEDY TO SEE PEOPLE DELUDE AND MAKE FOOLS OF THEMSELVES IN SUPPORT OF JIVE-TALKING GRIFTER/CON-MAN OBAMA. GOOD BYE FORMER FAILED PRESIDENT WOBAMA … GOOD RIDDANCE!   

 

12 Factors That Are Turning The Streets Of America Into A Living Hell

http://albertpeia.com/12factorsamericancitieshellholes.htm

 

Obama: 'We get Virginia, we win' { Well there you go….it’s now a one state Presidential race, winner take all…Wow!...The scary thing is that wobama seems to believe his own b***s***, even when he knows same to be false; as, ie., Dreams, etc.. Another choom gang fantasy? He really insults people’s intelligence. I personally believe, and strong case can be made, that wobama, like fellow chitown pol jackson, jr., suffers from psychological disorder(s). Indeed, at the least, from psychogenic/dissociative amnesia that makes the aforementioned facts beyond the grasp of his ‘current unreality’. I also believe that his heavy near everyday powerful pot (choom) use took its toll on his cognitive functions that have facilitated his outlandish claims and outright fabrications; exactly what the nation cannot afford in these critical/perilous times! }

Drudgereport: 7-13-12  Romney Demands Obama Apology...

Says president 'reckless and absurd'...

'Deceptive and dishonest'...

'Beneath Dignity Of His Office'...

'It's disgusting. It's demeaning'... {  And, let me add, it’s indicative of total desperation on the part of wobama who has but a record of failure to run on; hence, the diversionary, disingenuous tactics to obfuscate his failure by diverting attention therefrom. People will see through the wobama subterfuge. }

GALLUP: OBAMA VS ROMNEY DEAD HEAT...

{ Drudge: What’s with your self-immolating obsession with rice? Aside from nationwide negroe fatigue (except among blacks –President Romney will get less than 1% of the black vote, no matter what – because…President Romney is white and wobama is black … period …that’s the way it is and wishing will not make it not so! ), the essential reason she’d be a bad choice is that she carries with her the failures of the bush regime (numerous) and sound management requires an unequivocal ‘new broom’ (as per Drucker, et als). http://albertpeia.com  Stated another way, at this critical juncture, the nation must be managed for performance. Goals/objectives must be set and reasonable steps consistent with the goals must be taken. President Romney’s application of such a competent managerial approach was even evidenced in his acclaimed handling of the Olympics as well as his sterling record in business (Bill Clinton’s true words, though against interest) and tenure as Governor. Wobama has but b***s*** and failure obfuscating record deficits to show for his choom failed fantasy presidency. }

Labor Unions: The New, Old SuperPACs?  Much has been said about the evil crony capitalism inflicted upon America as a result of PAC, SuperPACs, corporate donations, and just general bribery on behalf of America's corporations in broad terms, and Wall Street in narrow terms. But is there an even bigger destabilizing force of "cronyness" in America? According to the WSJ, there well may be: labor unions. Yes: those same entities that are so critical for Obama's reelection campaign that the president abrogated property rights and overturned the entire bankruptcy process in the case of GM and Chrysler, to benefit various forms of organized labor at the expense of evil, evil bondholders (represented on occasion by such even more evil entities as little old grandmas whose retirement money had been invested in GM bonds), appear to have a far greater impact in bribe-facilitated decision-making than previously thought.  ,  Guest Post: Peak Employment  ‘…we have already passed Peak Employment and the downward trend will continue, perhaps disguised by increasingly more part time employment.’ ,  ECRI's Achuthan: "The US Is In Recession Already"  ‘Lakshman Achuthan, co-founder of the Economic Cycle Research Institute, spoke with Bloomberg Television’s Tom Keene today and said that, "What we said back in December was that the most likely start date for the recession would be in Q1 and if not then, by the middle of 2012. I’m here to reaffirm that. I think we’re in a recession already." And just like us, the anagrammatic ECRI economist believes that "It is not all about GDP. It is about jobs. It is about income and sales. A recession is a vicious interplay among output, input, employment, income and sales" noting that recessions don't generally start with a cliff adding (ominously): "there is this belief that somehow government or a central bank will stave off a recession. For the last 220 years, you do some history with Hamilton, which ended in a duel by the way... you have had 47 recessions. Why are we going to avoid the 48th?" ‘

So true in fact, that wobama will come to be compared to Pyrrhus of Ephyrus (W. Greece) since realization of what this legislation won’t do for americans and the economy and what it actually does will not have the galvanizing effect that striking the bill down would have had on voters who were thinking ‘another free lunch from the government’ will save them (we all now know better, no such thing). Yes, in somewhat European tradition, defacto bankrupt america is keeping up with the (ie., rating agencies Egan) Joneses. After all, we all know how well this European program model is working out for Europe (and any other nation that’s tried it). In the final analysis, this and such programs as the contraindicated bailouts for the unprosecuted frauds on wall street, etc., will prove to be the ‘camel-back breaking’ moment for america; and, a pyrrhic victory for the egregiously failed president wobama.  America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke.

{ Wobama is so pathetic! Sure, sacrifice for the grifter wobamas so they can continue livin’ large on the taxpayer dime while accomplishing nothing except greater public debt to hide his failure. This from the record holder for fundraisers, 151 and counting. Then there’s the 100 plus rounds of golf in addition to being famously over-vacationed while in office. It’s laughable to hear him blame congress for his lack of accomplishments when the reality is that he ‘really wasn’t there’ for any of it. For wobama the presidency is just endless debate, rhetoric, campaigning, vacationing, soundbites from the teleprompted speeches, jive-talk, b***s***, and ‘choom fantasy’. He’s a total fraud and failure and anyone who buys into election-year desperation / promises, etc., is just a fool of the worst kind!   AP: ‘…
THE FACTS: Five Senate Democrats voted against sending the DREAM Act to the Senate floor for full consideration. The bill would have created a path to citizenship for many young illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children. Last week, Obama announced plans to stop deporting illegal immigrants who would have qualified for the DREAM Act. The policy change does not include a path to citizenship…’ Then there’s the other meretricious ‘wobama desperation hail mary’ that once again falls short. Indeed, as an investor, one analyzes earnings, projects prospective earnings over a 3-5 year horizon, and the quality of the earnings along macro economic factors which are affected by ‘political considerations’. Does anyone remember the honorable Ross Perot who warned of NAFTA’s effect on american jobs even as the democrat administration et als were hell-bent on passing same? Should Romney have breached his legal duty to shareholders and invested in companies with poor earnings prospects? After all, in the financial / security analysis step of projecting the income statement, prospective labor costs figure prominently in the bottomline. In sum, Romney took conditions as he found them, and made the prudent choices which as per his legal duty were optimal for those who put their trust in him. For those who put their trust in proven failure wobama, all they have to show for such misplaced trust are broken campaign promises, now insurmountable record deficit spending exceeding all the presidents since Eisenhower combined to obfuscate what clearly has been wobama’s unequivocal failure.  }

The Biggest Financial Scandal In History?  http://albertpeia.com/anotherbiggestfinancialscandal.htm   We always knew that the financial markets were rigged, but this is getting ridiculous.  It is now being alleged that 20 major banks have been systematically fixing global interest rates for years.  Barclays has already been fined hundreds of millions of dollars for manipulating Libor (the London Inter Bank Offered Rate).  But Barclays says that a whole bunch of other banks were doing this too.  This is shaping up to be the biggest financial scandal in history, and criminal investigations have been launched on both sides of the Atlantic.  What those investigations are likely to uncover could shake the financial markets to their very core.  In the end, this scandal could absolutely devastate confidence in the global financial system and it could potentially bring down a number of major global banks.  We have never seen anything quite like this before.

What Is Libor?

As mentioned before, Libor is the London Inter Bank Offered Rate.  A recent Washington Post article contained a pretty good explanation of what that means....

In the simplest terms, LIBOR is the average interest rate which banks in London are charging each other for borrowing. It’s calculated by Thomson Reuters — the parent company of the Reuters news agency — for the British Banking Association (BBA), a trade association of banks and financial services companies.

Why Does Libor Matter?

If you have a mortgage, a car loan or a credit card, then there is a very good chance that Libor has affected your personal finances.  Libor has been a factor in the pricing of hundreds of trillions of dollars of loans, securities and assets.  The following is from a recent article by Maureen Farrell....

These traders influenced the pricing of the London Interbank Offered Rate or Libor, a benchmark that dictates the pricing of up to $800 trillion of securities (yes trillion)…’

 

Equities Fumble As Broke Banks Mounting  ZeroHedge.com  Tyler Durden 7-5-12  ,  Thunder Road Report On The Death March: Approaching A New Financial System  ,  The Next Imminent Bailout: Eminent Domain  It seems that governmental efforts to save the underwater and ineligible homeowner from his own fate are reaching fever pitch. Not only do we hear today of the up to $300mm in Agriculture Department Rural Housing Service loans that may have financed ineligible projects or borrowers with a high potential inability to repay the loans; but yesterday's WSJ reports on the growing call for 'eminent-domain' powers to be used by local government officials in California to stop the "housing bust's public blight on their city". In yet another get-out-of-jail-free card, the officials (helped by a friendly local hedge-fund / mortgage-provider) want to use the government's ability to forcibly acquire property to remove underwater homes, restructure the mortgage (cut principal), and hand back the home to the previously unable to pay dilemma-ridden homeowner. As PIMCO's Scott Simon puts it: "I don't see how you could find it anything other than appalling", as this would crush property prices further and drive up borrowing costs. As we noted earlier, until these mal-investments are marked to market, there will be no useful growth in our credit-bound economy but transferring wealth to the 'mal'-investor seems like a terrible idea

Kicking The Can Down The Road   http://albertpeia.com/kicksinthecandowntheroad.htm   Has Europe finally been saved this time?  Has this latest "breakthrough" solved the European debt crisis?  Of course not, and you should know better by now.  European leaders have held 18 summits since the beginning of the debt crisis.  After most of the preceding summits, global financial markets responded with joy because European leaders had reached "a deal" which would supposedly solve the crisis.  But a few weeks after each summit it would become clear that nothing had been solved and that the financial crisis had actually gotten even worse than before.  How many times do they expect us to fall for the same sorry routine?  Nothing in Europe has been solved.  You can't solve a debt problem with more debt. ’  ,   12 Incredible Obamacare Quotes That Show That Our Wretched Healthcare System Is Headed Directly Into The Toilet     http://albertpeia.com/americanhealthcaretoilet.htm    ,  If One Storm Can Turn D.C.

The US’s IIP deficit reached USD 4.03trn in 2012, up sharply from 2.47trn in 2011. As a share of nominal GDP, the IIP deficit reached a record (for the US) of -27%.  Commonly accepted wisdom based on a combination of models and experience is that an IIP bigger than +30% of GDP or smaller than -30% is a problem.

When you connect the dots, the next steps lead to what may soon be regarded as an obvious conclusion: the system, as it exists right now, is crumbling. No amount of self-delusion can make this go away. Rational thinking and measured action, on the other hand, can make the consequences go away... turning people from victims into spectators of the greatest bubble burst in modern times.

{ Wobama is so pathetic! Sure, sacrifice for the grifter wobamas so they can continue livin’ large on the taxpayer dime while accomplishing nothing except greater public debt to hide his failure. This from the record holder for fundraisers, 151 and counting. Then there’s the 100 plus rounds of golf in addition to being famously over-vacationed while in office. It’s laughable to hear him blame congress for his lack of accomplishments when the reality is that he ‘really wasn’t there’ for any of it. For wobama the presidency is just endless debate, rhetoric, campaigning, vacationing, soundbites from the teleprompted speeches, jive-talk, b***s***, and ‘choom fantasy’. He’s a total fraud and failure and anyone who buys into election-year desperation / promises, etc., is just a fool of the worst kind!   AP: ‘…
THE FACTS: Five Senate Democrats voted against sending the DREAM Act to the Senate floor for full consideration. The bill would have created a path to citizenship for many young illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children. Last week, Obama announced plans to stop deporting illegal immigrants who would have qualified for the DREAM Act. The policy change does not include a path to citizenship…’ Then there’s the other meretricious ‘wobama desperation hail mary’ that once again falls short. Indeed, as an investor, one analyzes earnings, projects prospective earnings over a 3-5 year horizon, and the quality of the earnings along macro economic factors which are affected by ‘political considerations’. Does anyone remember the honorable Ross Perot who warned of NAFTA’s effect on american jobs even as the democrat administration et als were hell-bent on passing same? Should Romney have breached his legal duty to shareholders and invested in companies with poor earnings prospects? After all, in the financial / security analysis step of projecting the income statement, prospective labor costs figure prominently in the bottomline. In sum, Romney took conditions as he found them, and made the prudent choices which as per his legal duty were optimal for those who put their trust in him. For those who put their trust in proven failure wobama, all they have to show for such misplaced trust are broken campaign promises, now insurmountable record deficit spending exceeding all the presidents since Eisenhower combined to obfuscate what clearly has been wobama’s unequivocal failure.  }

In the final analysis, this and such programs as the contraindicated bailouts for the unprosecuted frauds on wall street, etc., will prove to be the ‘camel-back breaking’ moment for america; and, a pyrrhic victory for the egregiously failed president wobama.  America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke. There are signs everywhere one looks…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion }

Escalation: Syria Says Turkish Jet Shot Down Was Over Syrian Territorial Waters  ZeroHedge.com The "Syrianna" story from this afternoon, which many were quick to label as merely a lot of diplomatic hot air and rhetoric, just turned uglier, after Syria not only did not officially apologize as Turkey PM Erdogan implied had happened previously for the shot down Turkish F-4 fighter jet, but instead turned the tables on Turkey, and gave itself an out for what is now a definitive military action. From Reuters:The Syrian military said it shot down a Turkish military aircraft "over Syrian territorial waters" on Friday.

 

The USD Trap Is Closing: Dollar Exclusion Zone Crosses The Pacific As Brazil Signs China Currency Swap  When the US Dollar is ultimately dethroned as the world's reserve currency (and finally gets rid of all those ridiculous three letter post-Keynesian economic "theories") nobody will have seen it coming. Well, nobody except for the following headlines: ""World's Second (China) And Third Largest (Japan) Economies To Bypass Dollar, Engage In Direct Currency Trade", "China, Russia Drop Dollar In Bilateral Trade", "China And Iran To Bypass Dollar, Plan Oil Barter System", "India and Japan sign new $15bn currency swap agreement", "Iran, Russia Replace Dollar With Rial, Ruble in Trade, Fars Says", "India Joins Asian Dollar Exclusion Zone, Will Transact With Iran In Rupees." And while the expansion of the "dollar exclusion zone" was actually quite glaring to anyone who dared to look, one thing was obvious: it was confined to Asia. No more courtesy of the following FT headline: "Brazil and China agree currency swap." More: "Brazil has provided a vote of confidence in China’s efforts to promote the renminbi as a reserve currency by becoming the biggest economy yet to agree a swap deal with Beijing. Brazil and China announced the R$60bn (US$29bn) local currency swap after a bilateral meeting between Wen Jiabao, the Chinese premier, and Dilma Rousseff, Brazil’s president, on the sidelines of the Rio+20 environmental summit in Rio de Janeiro."

PAPER: Obama's grandfather tortured by the British? A fantasy (like most of the President's own memoir)... By Toby Harnden PUBLISHED:| UPDATED:{  http://albertpeia.com/wobamaschoomgangfantasy.htm  }

‘A new biography of Barack Obama has established that his grandfather was not, as is related in the President’s own memoir, detained by the British in Kenya and found that claims that he was tortured were a fabrication.

'Barack Obama: The Story' by David Maraniss catalogues dozens of instances in which Obama deviated significantly from the truth in his book 'Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance'. The 641-page book punctures the carefully-crafted narrative of Obama’s life…’

 

19 Reasons Why It Is Time To Start Freaking Out About The Global Economy  http://albertpeia.com/19reasonstofreakoutaboutglobaleconomy.htm  ‘Yes, it is officially time to start freaking out about the global economy.  The European financial system is falling apart and it is going to go down hard.  If Europe was going to be saved it would have happened by now.  The big money insiders have already pulled their funds from vulnerable positions and they are ready to ride the coming chaos out.   Over the next few months the slow motion train wreck currently unfolding in Europe will continue to play out and things will likely really start really heating up in the fall once summer vacations are over.  Most Americans greatly underestimate how much Europe can affect the global economy.  Europe actually has a larger population than the US.  Europe also has a significantly larger economy and a much larger banking system… Moreover, before Obama there had never been a deficit anywhere near $1 trillion.  The highest previously was $458 billion, or less than half a trillion, in 2008. The federal deficit for the last budget adopted by a Republican controlled Congress was $161 billion for fiscal year 2007.  But the budget deficits for Obama’s four years were reported in Obama’s own 2013 budget as $1.413 trillion for 2009, $1.293 trillion for 2010, $1.3 trillion for 2011, and $1.327 trillion for 2012, four years in a row of deficits of $1.3 trillion or more, the highest in world history. #19 Barack Obama almost seems more focused on his golf game than on the problems the global economy is having.  He just finished up playing his 100th round of golf since he became president. (Don’t forget as well, wobama’s record 150 fundraisers plus heavily vacationed tenure leaves little time to accomplish anything; and, he hasn’t!)  ,  The Mancession: 16 Signs That This Economic Decline Is Sucking The Life Out Of The American Male  http://albertpeia.com/16signseconomicdeclinesuckinglifeoutofamericanmale.htm

For wobama the presidency is just endless debate, rhetoric, campaigning, vacationing, soundbites from the teleprompted speeches, jive-talk, b***s***, and ‘choom fantasy’. He’s a total fraud and failure and anyone who buys into election-year desperation / promises, etc., is just a fool of the worst kind!   AP: ‘…
THE FACTS: Five Senate Democrats voted against sending the DREAM Act to the Senate floor for full consideration. The bill would have created a path to citizenship for many young illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children. Last week, Obama announced plans to stop deporting illegal immigrants who would have qualified for the DREAM Act. The policy change does not include a path to citizenship…’ Then there’s the other meretricious ‘wobama desperation hail mary’ that once again falls short. Indeed, as an investor, one analyzes earnings, projects prospective earnings over a 3-5 year horizon, and the quality of the earnings along macro economic factors which are affected by ‘political considerations’. Does anyone remember the honorable Ross Perot who warned of NAFTA’s effect on american jobs even as the democrat administration et als were hell-bent on passing same? Should Romney have breached his legal duty to shareholders and invested in companies with poor earnings prospects? After all, in the financial / security analysis step of projecting the income statement, prospective labor costs figure prominently in the bottomline. In sum, Romney took conditions as he found them, and made the prudent choices which as per his legal duty were optimal for those who put their trust in him. For those who put their trust in proven failure wobama, all they have to show for such misplaced trust are broken campaign promises, now insurmountable record deficit spending exceeding all the presidents since Eisenhower combined to obfuscate what clearly has been wobama’s unequivocal failure.  }

Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  http://etfdigest.com/commentary.html  ‘As readers know I’ve been on the “down low” waiting for the Greek elections and FOMC statement. This, and staying liquid, proved the right move for now. After all, as someone famously said, “tomorrow’s another day.”Markets started the trading day inundated by a litany of crummy economic data. Jobless Claims (387K vs 383K expected & prior revised higher as per normal to 389K) made for a mild headline beat but overall the trend is worsening. The “flash” (why do we need one?) PMI estimate came in cold (52.9 vs 53.8 expected & prior 53.9); Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index fell again (-37.9 vs -36.8 previous); Existing Home Sales were poor dropping 1.4% (4.55M vs 4.62M prior) or housing market not “fixed”; if that weren’t enough, the important Philly Fed Survey imploded (-16.6 vs .5 expected & prior -5.8). Put these together and Operation Twist seems pathetically inadequate requiring perhaps another Fed meeting adjustment which would be seen by many as more politically motivated. Let’s face it; Bernanke & Co have gotten things wrong. The administration and congress haven’t been helpful either.Goldman Sachs (GS), and no doubt prepositioned, issued a short S&P 500 call…

 

 

 

Propaganda, Lies, And War  ZeroHedge.com  Tyler Durden  6-21-12  Despite already being engaged in drone wars in Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, and still occupying Afghanistan, the U.S. is being duped into yet another war based on shaky evidence and at the behest of deep-pocketed special interests.  This is coming even while a secretive cyber war already being waged to damage Iran’s nuclear capability.  According to the Pentagon, “computer sabotage coming from another country can constitute an act of war.”  Not only that, but the draconian sanctions thus far placed on Iran are doing enormous harm to the citizens who hardly have a say in what their government does.  The Belgium-based SWIFT payment system that facilitates most international payments has already denied service to many Iranian banks.  With the imposing of an oil embargo from the European Union just around the corner (July 1st) that will all but make it impossible for oil tankers to be insured by Lloyd’s of London, an actual naval blockade is being floated by U.S. lawmakers.  Much like the Antebellum South and Japan, Iran too is being pushed into a corner.... Then and now, wealthy special interests are a driving force behind American imperialism.  Lies will be spun till they are seen as facts.  When the truth comes out, the irreparable damage will already be done.  Like anything the state lays its filthy hands on, war is a racket.  The beneficiaries of the ruling class’s gleeful foray into mass murder are few in number.  The masses, still brainwashed into feverish nationalism, end up paying the costs with their pilfered income, eroded liberty, and, ultimately, their own lives.

 

 

“You Can Lose Freedom Only Once” Posted by : testosteronepit Post date: 06/21/2012 - Swiss Minister of Defense speaks up while Merkel joins the Axis of Evil   ,  Ponzi Comes Full Circle: ECB Will Rate Sovereign Bonds It Accepts As Collateral   ,  Initial Claims Miss For 7th Week In A Row, "Improve" From Last Week's Bogus Revised Number  And so the gaming continues: Initial Claims miss expectations of a 383K print, coming at 387K, a number which next week will be revised to 390K. This is the 7th miss in a row, and 23rd miss of the past 26 weeks. It is also the highest 4 week average since December. But the mainstream media has its soundbite: "initial claims decline by 2,000" because, lo and behold, last week's 386K print was revised to 389K. We have discussed this topic to death: little to add here. The ceremonial scripting by the BLS continues full bore. The only real data point in today's release: those collecting extended claims continue to hit the 99-week cliff, as 42K more drop off Komrade Samov's free lunch dole. Finally, judging by the somewhat muted positive market response to this latest piece of horrible economic news, the data was bad but not bad enough: we need a 400K+ print for the ES to get back to 1,400 it appears.

Germany Could Pull Out of the Euro Before Spain is Even “Saved”

June 21, 2012 By gpc1981   http://albertpeia.com/germanypullout.htm

As I’ve ( Graham Summers ) assessed in earlier pieces, neither the Fed, nor the IMF, nor the EFSF, nor the ECB has the firepower or the political backing to prop up Spain or the EU.

This ultimately leaves the ESM, the permanent European Stability Mechanism… which technically doesn’t even exist yet (it’s supposed to be ratified by July 2012).

That’s right… the bailout fund which is meant to SAVE Europe doesn’t even exist yet. And it’s not clear that it will anytime soon either…

Indeed, in order for the ESM to be ratified it needs the individual EU member states that will contribute 90% of its capitalization to first ratify it on an individual basis.

Here’s the list of countries that represent that 90% of capital as well as the status of their individual ratifications and the percentage of funding they are to provide.

Country

Ratified?

Percentage of Capital

Germany

NO

27%

France

YES

20%

Italy

NO

18%

Spain

NO

12%

Netherlands

YES

6%

Belgium

NO

3%

Greece

YES

3%

Austria

NO

3%

Portugal

NO

2%

Finland

NO

2%

Ireland

NO

1%

Slovakia

NO

0.8%

Slovenia

YES

0.5%

Luxembourg

NO

0.2%

Cyprus

NO

0.1%

Estonia

NO

0.1%

Malta

NO

0.07%

To summate the above chart succinctly… only four of the required 17 countries have even ratified the ESM (it’s supposed to be completely ratified in July 2012).

Moreover, you’ll note that the PIIGS as a whole are meant to contribute 36% of the ESM’s FUNDING!!!! Spain and Italy alone are meant to contribute 30%!!!!

So… Spain is supposedly going to be bailed out by an entitythat doesn’t even exist yetfor which Spain is mean to contribute 12% of the funding. And to top it off… Spain hasn’t even ratified the fund itself!!!

More importantly, neither has Germany. And it’s not clear that it will either.

What Is Executive Privilege?  There has been much talk today about Obama's use of the "executive privilege" yet few are familiar with the details of this relatively unknown presidential option. The AP sheds much needed light on this practice: perhaps the most fitting, to the constitutional expert president, is that the "privilege" isn't in the Constitution nor has been clearly defined by the courts. In other words - just the kind of loophole that one needs to mask the fact that the very person tasked with imposing justice is himself guilty of performing just the opposite. Yet Obama has only used it once (so far) during his tenure as president. Dubya used it six times, Bush Sr used it once also.

19 Reasons Why It Is Time To Start Freaking Out About The Global Economy  http://albertpeia.com/19reasonstofreakoutaboutglobaleconomy.htm  ‘Yes, it is officially time to start freaking out about the global economy.  The European financial system is falling apart and it is going to go down hard.  If Europe was going to be saved it would have happened by now.  The big money insiders have already pulled their funds from vulnerable positions and they are ready to ride the coming chaos out.   Over the next few months the slow motion train wreck currently unfolding in Europe will continue to play out and things will likely really start really heating up in the fall once summer vacations are over.  Most Americans greatly underestimate how much Europe can affect the global economy.  Europe actually has a larger population than the US.  Europe also has a significantly larger economy and a much larger banking system… Moreover, before Obama there had never been a deficit anywhere near $1 trillion.  The highest previously was $458 billion, or less than half a trillion, in 2008. The federal deficit for the last budget adopted by a Republican controlled Congress was $161 billion for fiscal year 2007.  But the budget deficits for Obama’s four years were reported in Obama’s own 2013 budget as $1.413 trillion for 2009, $1.293 trillion for 2010, $1.3 trillion for 2011, and $1.327 trillion for 2012, four years in a row of deficits of $1.3 trillion or more, the highest in world history. #19 Barack Obama almost seems more focused on his golf game than on the problems the global economy is having.  He just finished up playing his 100th round of golf since he became president. (Don’t forget as well, wobama’s record 150 fundraisers plus heavily vacationed tenure leaves little time to accomplish anything; and, he hasn’t!)  ,  The Mancession: 16 Signs That This Economic Decline Is Sucking The Life Out Of The American Male  http://albertpeia.com/16signseconomicdeclinesuckinglifeoutofamericanmale.htm   ,  Your EBT Card Has Been Denied... At The Spearmint Rhino  ZeroHedge.com  Tyler Durden 6-19-12  America's welfare state is about to suffer a double whammy of epic proportions. On one hand, extended unemployment benefits are now running out at a pace of 100,000+ per week, as more and more American's lose eligibility for Komrade Samov's 99-week sponsored vacation, meaning millions of Americans heretofore sitting comfortably on their couch playing Call of Duty and collecting $400 a week will now start having to think for a change - never a good thing for any regime that relies on its electorate to be docile as drunk and fat Hindu cows.. "New York would prohibit welfare recipients from spending their tax-funded benefits on cigarettes, alcohol, gambling, and strip clubs under a bill passed overwhelmingly by the state Senate on Tuesday. "I understand that people need food stamps," said Republican Sen. Thomas Libous... "What I don't understand is why they need to go to strip clubs, buy lottery tickets, go to a 'racino' or buy alcohol." Wait, you mean you can't spend other people's money to pay for a lap dance? What crazy form of inhumane austerity is this. And isn't spending taxpayer dollars at the Spearmint Rhino one of the amendments to the post-Obama constitution? But perhaps the scariest implication is that New Yorkers actually do spend their EBT money at the Spearmint Rhino right off the card, being ripped off with the traditional 15% plastic surcharge instead of just paying cash. Now that is really stupid.

19 Reasons Why It Is Time To Start Freaking Out About The Global Economy

http://albertpeia.com/19reasonstofreakoutaboutglobaleconomy.htm

The big problem is that there is simply way, way, way too much debt in the United States and Europe.  It has been a lot of fun spending all of this borrowed money, but now we get to pay the price.

....

#1 The yield on 10 year Italian bonds has now risen to more than 6 percent.

#2 The yield on 10 year Spanish bonds has now risen to more than 7 percent.  This is considered to be an unsustainable level.

#3 Citigroup Chief Economist Willem Buiter says that both Italy and Spain are going to need major bailouts.

#4 The Spanish banking crisis continues to get worse.  The following is from a CNN article that was posted on Monday....

But the depth of the nation's crisis has raised doubts about whether €100 billion will be enough to recapitalize the banks. For example, the Bank of Spain, the nation's central bank, released data Monday showing that "doubtful" loans -- those that are more than 3 months overdue -- rose to €152.7 billion in April, equal to 8.7% of all the loans held by the nation's banks.

#5 Unemployment in Spain is sitting at a record high of over 24 percent with no hope in sight.

#6 Unemployment in the eurozone as a whole has hit a brand new all-time record high.

#7 The socialists won an outright majority in the recent parliamentary elections in France.  That means that France and Germany are now headed in completely different directions..

#8 New French President Francois Hollande has promised to implement a top tax rate of 75 percent on those making over 1 million euros a year.

#9 German Chancellor Angela Merkel has declared that Germany will not budge at all on the terms of the Greek bailout.

#10 Analysts at Citigroup Global Markets are projecting that the odds of Greece leaving the euro over the next 12 to 18 months are still between 50 and 75 percent.

#11 Money is being transferred from banks in southern Europe to banks in northern Europe at an astounding pace....

Financial advisers and private bankers whose clients have accounts too large to be covered by a Europe-wide guarantee on deposits up to 100,000 euros ($125,000), are reporting a "bank run by wire transfer" that has picked up during May…’

#19 Barack Obama almost seems more focused on his golf game than on the problems the global economy is having.  He just finished up playing his 100th round of golf since he became president. (Don’t forget as well, wobama’s record 150 fundraisers plus heavily vacationed tenure leaves little time to accomplish anything; and, he hasn’t!) 

 

 

PAPER: Obama's grandfather tortured by the British? A fantasy (like most of the President's own memoir)... By Toby Harnden 6-19-12{  http://albertpeia.com/wobamaschoomgangfantasy.htm  }

‘A new biography of Barack Obama has established that his grandfather was not, as is related in the President’s own memoir, detained by the British in Kenya and found that claims that he was tortured were a fabrication.

'Barack Obama: The Story' by David Maraniss catalogues dozens of instances in which Obama deviated significantly from the truth in his book 'Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance'. The 641-page book punctures the carefully-crafted narrative of Obama’s life.

One of the enduring myths of Obama’s ancestry is that his paternal grandfather Hussein Onyango Obama, who served as a cook in the British Army, was imprisoned in 1949 by the British for helping the anti-colonial Mau Mau rebels and held for several months.

Obama’s step-grandmother Sarah, Onyango wife, who is still living, is quoted in the future President’s memoir, as saying: ‘One day, the white man’s askaris came to take Onyango away, and he was placed in a detention camp.

More...Sarah Obama claimed that he was ‘whipped every morning and evening’ by the British. ‘They would sometimes squeeze his testicles with metal rods. They also pierced his nails and buttocks with a sharp pin, with his hands and legs tied together. He was lucky to survive. Some of his fellow inmates were mutilated with castration pliers and beaten to death with clubs.’

But Maraniss, who researched Obama’s life ..no remaining records of any detention, imprisonment, or trial of Hussein Onyango Obama’. ..

This undermines the received wisdom that Obama’s grandfather was a victim of oppression, an assumption that has in turn fuelled theories that Obama harbours an animus towards Britain based on a deeply-rooted rage about the way Onyango was treated.

John Ndalo Aguk, who worked with Onyango before the alleged imprisonment and was in touch with him weekly afterwards said he 'knew nothing' about any detention and would have noticed if he had gone missing for several months.

Zablon Okatch, who worked with Onyango as a servant to American diplomats after the supposed incarceration, said: ‘Hussein was never jailed. I know that for a fact…

.. ‘If you get arrested, you say it was the fight for independence, but they are arrested for another thing.

‘.. If he was in Kamiti Prison for only a day, even if for a day, I would have known.’

Maraniss also casts a sceptical eye on Obama’s grandmother’s tales of racism in Kansas, doubting whether she was ever chastised for addressing a black janitor as ‘Mister’ or ridiculed for playing with a black girl.

Obama himself, Maraniss finds, deliberately distorted elements of his own life to fit into a racial narrative…

Writing about his schooldays, Obama created a friend called Regina, a symbol of the authentic black American experience that Obama yearns for.

Maraniss found, however, that Regina was based on Caroline Boss, a white student leader at Occidental College. Regina was the name of Boss’s Swiss grandmother.

The book also notes that Obama removed two white roommates in Los Angeles and New York from his story..

A tale of the father of Obama’s Indonesian stepfather Soewarno Martodihardjo being killed by Dutch soldiers as he fought for Indonesian independence turns out to be ‘a concocted myth in almost all respects’..

According to the book, both Obama’s father and his paternal grandfather were abusive towards women and Maraniss finds that Obama’s story that he was abandoned by his father when he was two was false – in fact, Obama’s mother fled to Washington state a year earlier, possibly because she was being beaten.

A character in Obama’s memoir called Ray, portrayed as a symbol of young blackness, is in fact based on a fellow pupil who was half Japanese, part native American and part black and was not a close friend…

PALIN: DRUDGE HISTORY... { Drudge history? I don’t even know what this headline means; but, I can tell you that palin’s history!

Joe McGinniss Sarah Palin Book, 'The Rogue,' Makes Controversial Claims About Former Alaska Governor  ‘Joe McGinniss's new book, The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin, hits bookstores next week, but its controversial claims about the former Alaska governor are already making waves.

In the book, McGinniss writes that Palin had a one-night stand in 1987 with future NBA basketball player Glen Rice nine months before she married her husband Todd. He quotes a friend who said Palin "had a fetish for black guys for a while."

"She was a gorgeous woman. Super nice. I was blown away by her," Rice tells McGinniss in the book, NBC reports. "Afterward, she was a big crush that I had."

McGinniss's book also alleges that Palin had an extramarital affair with her husband's business partner, Brad Hanson, in the mid-1990s, and snorted cocaine off a 55-gallon oil drum while snowboarding.

"An utter fraud. An absolute and utter fraud," McGinniss calls Palin in an interview about the book with NBC.

"At best, she's a hypocrite," McGinniss tells NBC's Savannah Guthrie. "At worst, she's a vindictive hypocrite."

McGinniss famously moved into a house next door to Palin's Wasilla, Alaska home to write his book -- prompting the Palins to accuse him of stalking them. They built a high fence along their property to protect their privacy.

In response to McGinniss's book, Todd Palin gave a statement to NBC saying that McGinniss "spent the last year interviewing marginal figures with an axe to grind in order to churn out a hit piece to satisfy his own creepy obsession with my wife."

"I'd ask the fathers and husbands of America to consider our privacy when one summer day I found this guy on the deck of the rental property, just 18 feet away next door to us, staring like a creep at my wife while she mowed the lawn in her shorts," Palin said.

McGinniss says that anything he learned about Palin by living next door did not make it into the book, but he does become a character in the story himself.

The New York Times writes in its review:

Soon Mr. McGinniss is settling in to enjoy the fuss his mere presence has created. "Normally, for a news story to continue beyond the first 24-hour news cycle, something newsworthy must occur," he writes loftily, but "The Rogue" is filled with proof to the contrary. What was his hate mail like? He quotes it. What did Glenn Beck call him? That’s here too. Who took umbrage at this venom and chose to help him? One man offered him a hideout, despite Mr. McGinniss's slight skepticism about his motives. "But you don’t know me," Mr. McGinniss protested.

McGinniss's book is scheduled to hit bookstores on Tuesday, Sept. 20.’

Bristol Palin Interview Accidentally Reveals Mother's 15 Abortions  www.theonion.comWASILLA, AK—Sarah Palin's political team was forced to do emergency damage control Monday after the former Alaska governor's daughter Bristol accidentally divulged on live television that her mother has undergone at least 15 abortions over the past 30 years. "She's always telling me how special I am, especially considering the five or six babies she aborted before I was born," Palin, 20, said during a CNN interview in which she was asked if she thought her mother would make a good president. "Then of course there were the twins she aborted shortly after having me, another four abortions after Willow somehow survived hers—but anyway, she's a wonderful mom. She just gets pregnant a lot and doesn't always want to have the baby." Palin also commended her mother's strength in carrying three babies with Down syndrome to term, and then even choosing not to give Trig up for adoption like the others.

The value of all stocks is still almost double the 2009 lows, yet today incomes are barely growing and realistically with all the headwinds we face there is no hope for rapid growth anytime soon.Every few weeks I feel the need to warn all that at some point stocks are likely to plunge.A little stock market history: Stock prices first rose above Dow 1000 early in 1983. The silicon revolution that started back then with the personal computer, led to the Internet in the 1990s and broadband in the 2000s. The huge productivity gains made possible by the silicon chip has dramatically increased global wealth; particularly the prices of stocks and bonds.In 1982 wages and salaries for all with jobs, including bosses, was $1.6 trillion. That same year, the value of all U.S. stocks, also known as the market cap, was around $1 trillion. Today wages and salaries are about $6.8 trillion, which is more than four times what people made 30 years ago.While wages and salaries quadrupled over the past 30 years; the value of all U.S. stocks has soared almost 18 times to $17.7 trillion today … At some point the central banks will get trashed and the equities markets will drop probably back to near the 2009 lows.Given how Europe is unraveling and emerging markets rates of growth are slowing rapidly, we might be nearer to a major correction than those with lots of money in stocks believe to be true.

Prisonplanet.com | Lew Rockwell joins Alex to discuss the latest in the Ron and Rand Paul controversy. { I include this and infowars/prisonplanet headlines so as not to be accused of first amendment obstruction. Yet, I’m constrained to point out that I was censored on the alex jones sites who despite endlessly complaining about censorship, do so themselves (particularly regarding American inherently criminal predispositions, which of course lead ineluctably to much of what alex jones complains about, especially corruption). Jones et als complain about jivetalking pre-disposed failed president and dictatorial despot wobama yet seek to be wobama’s best friends in embracing whatever it is that yields proven failure and ominously worse by a petulant attitude that ignores the reality of flawed americana. Fortunately, the grueling primary battle of which Ron Paul was a willing participant has yielded the ultimate winner in November in the person of President Mitt Romney. Sadly, jones remains ‘mr. tubby not too bright’ (he really isn’t that bright) from Texas who just can’t help himself as the moth to the flame in ineluctably embracing losing whenever he can, chiding others for not  following his lemming path beyond the precipice (ie., the wiser Rand Paul – Ron Paul was 77 and never resonated despite equal opportunity to do so), which makes him a loser in spades. He’s really become quite an embarrassment to anyone who has ever appreciated his attempts to call a spade a spade!

Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

The reality is that blacks are an insoluble problem wherever they are. That’s not going to ever change; not make-shift/make-work jobs; not programs; not anything tried or to be tried; hence, they must be treated as exactly that – problems – before a solution can be derived and fashioned. ] [ Send the blacks, including blackbama back to sub-saharan africa! ]

 

Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  CENTRAL BANKS THREATEN INTERVENTION 6-14-12 ‘We began Thursday with terrible Jobless Claims data (386K vs 375K exp & prior revised higher again to 380K). Further another 135K unemployed fell off the benefits rolls in one week. But, the previous theme the past few years now remains, “bad news is good” because the Fed and other central banks will launch more QE. In fact QE is going on now as the Fed today purchased (front ran) 30 year Treasury bonds ahead of the Treasury’s 30 year auction. { image – http://albertpeia.com/61412qe.jpg  } This little bit of manipulation has been ubiquitous but has now expanded to a level not seen previously. In afternoon trading word started filtering (obviously early to insiders) that central banks were once again “all-in” in preparation to intervene in markets post Greek election chaos. All this began as rumors (hence, those in the know were able to push markets higher in a heartbeat) but then came news…’

 

The EU’s Real Agenda: “Lie Until You Are About to Die”  June 14, 2012 By gpc1981   ‘The big news that the markets are attempting to digest this week is the €100 billion Spanish bailout.  This action and the upcoming Fed FOMC meeting on June 19-20 will dictate the market’s action over the next two weeks and possibly for the remainder of the year.The first of these topics, the Spanish bailout, is an extremely complicated affair. The key takeaway issues that need to be considered are:

  1. How the bailout was performed: who was involved and who wasn’t.
  2. The details of the bailout structure itself.
  3. The financial implications of the bailout.
  4. The political implications of the bailout.

Let’s dive in. Spain has been denying the need for a bailout for months now. Indeed, a mere two weeks ago, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy stated that Spain would not need outside assistance. In fact, when France’s President Francois Hollande implied that Spanish banks might need outside funds at an EU summit last month, Rajoy retorted, “Hollande does not know the state of Spanish banks,” What’s peculiar about this statement was that it was made when the Bankia nationalization was already underway. .. Thus, I would change the common phrase applied to the EU’s political/ financial policies from “extend and pretend” to “lie until you are about to die.”

 

 

Moody's Downgrades Five Dutch Banks By 1-2 Notches

From An Orderly EUR Decline To A Capital Flight Crisis In 4 Easy Steps

Biderman: "The World Cannot Go Back To The Way It Was"

In browsing the last seven months of video commentary that Charles Biderman, of TrimTabs, has produced, he is clear on one thing, "nothing has changed". With an 'admittedly rigged' stock market now at the behest of global central banks and the slow-motion train-wreck in Europe seemingly approaching the end of its can-kicking-road, Biderman is frustrated by the inane financial media's perpetual belief that we are 'a grand plan' away from a return to the way the world was before the crisis began - "We are not!" Wages and salaries in the US continue to stagnate with a $100bn per month deficit as he is incredulous at the belief that we can go on printing $1.3 trillion to produce $250 billion in spending each year. The US economy will double-dip when the Fed's attempt at rigging the stock market and economy is no longer perceived as viable and as the paisley-wearing pontificater expects both inflation (inevitable with CB printing) and deflation (big banks, European and EM equities thanks to the interventionist policies of the global central banks), he suggests gold as a core holding.

How Can a Non-Existent Entity Bailout Spain… Or Anyone Else For That Matter? June 13, 2012 By gpc1981  ‘Spain’s Bailout is one big lie.I know, I know… Spain is “saved” thanks to a €100 billion bailout.But no one is asking just where this money will come from?The IMF isn’t involved. Nor is the ECB.The EFSF, which can’t even raise €10 billion without having to step in to insure it doesn’t have a failed bond auction isn’t a possibility (Germany doesn’t want it).That leaves just the European Stability Mechanism (ESM)… except for the little known fact that only FOUR of the necessary 17 EU members have ratified legislation to even CREATE the ESM.That’s right… the ESM doesn’t even EXIST yet.On top of this, Spain and Italy make up 30% of the ESM’s supposed “funding.” That’s right, nearly one third of the mega-bailout fund’s capital will come from countries that are bankrupt themselves and are either already requesting bailouts (Spain) or soon will be (Italy).Finally, and this is the REAL problem with the ESM… Germany hasn’t OK’d it yet.In fact, German opposition leaders have stated point blank that hoping for Germany to ratify the ESM before its due date (July 1) is “completely unrealistic.”So… Spain is going to be bailed out by a non-existent entity whose leading member likely won’t even have ratified its formation… before July 1.Sure things could play out differently. But wasn’t Spain literally on the verge of a systemic Crisis? And we’re talking about weeks… possibly months before it gets a single Euro in bailout funds (assuming the funds even show up at all).So I ask again… WHERE is the money going to come from? It doesn’t exist. The whole Bailout is one big lie. The funds simply are not there.Even if they were, €100 billion is NOTHING compared to the REAL capital needs of Spanish banks. Heck, Bankia alone needs €24 billion… and that’s just ONE BANK out of Spain’s €3 trillion banking system.Folks, if you think we’re out of the storm yet in Europe, you’re in for a very VERY rude surprise. It’s quite likely the EU won’t even exist in its current form before the summer ends.The simple reason… THERE AREN’T ANY FUNDS LEFT TO PROP UP the €46 TRILLION toxic sewer that is the EU banking system. End of story…’  ,  Moody's slashes Spain debt ratings three notches  ,  Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com    THE FED BUYS TREASURY AUCTION 6-13-12 ‘Just how does this little game of Finance 2012 work anyway? To quote our friends at Zero Hedge: “A month after the U.S. Treasury sold $24 billion in 10 Year bonds at what was then a record low yield of 1.86%, the U.S. government once again approaches that mysterious primary dealer-repo nexus with the latest offer U.S. banks can't refuse: a $21 billion reopening. What is notable about today's auction is that in about 40 minutes, the auction will price at a record low yield of just about 1.63%, or 23 bps lower to the last record yield. Where things get patently surreal, however, is when one takes a look at today's POMO operation conducted by the Fed (remember those). Because as can be seen on the table below from the NY Fed, at 11 AM today, so precisely 2 hours before when the Treasury will complete its own sale, bought $4.8 billion of... wait for it... 10 Year bonds.” (And, you thought QE and POMO were over probably.) Two hours later the Treasury auctioned $21 billion in 10 year bonds at a yield of 1.622%. You can put 2 and 2 together, but this is the type of stuff which for the most part is done behind the curtain and away from the MSM and financial media more absorbed with Jaime Dimon. Call it what you will—three card Monte, Ponzi or just plain manipulation.

How Can a Non-Existent Entity Bailout Spain… Or Anyone Else For That Matter? June 13, 2012 By gpc1981  Spain’s Bailout is one big lie.

I know, I know… Spain is “saved” thanks to a €100 billion bailout.

But no one is asking just where this money will come from?

The IMF isn’t involved. Nor is the ECB.

The EFSF, which can’t even raise €10 billion without having to step in to insure it doesn’t have a failed bond auction isn’t a possibility (Germany doesn’t want it).

That leaves just the European Stability Mechanism (ESM)… except for the little known fact that only FOUR of the necessary 17 EU members have ratified legislation to even CREATE the ESM.

That’s right… the ESM doesn’t even EXIST yet.

On top of this, Spain and Italy make up 30% of the ESM’s supposed “funding.” That’s right, nearly one third of the mega-bailout fund’s capital will come from countries that are bankrupt themselves and are either already requesting bailouts (Spain) or soon will be (Italy).

Finally, and this is the REAL problem with the ESM… Germany hasn’t OK’d it yet.

I think you should keep this in mind:

There's not even the slightest doubt in my mind that they're already monitoring/wiretapping phones/lines without warrants; and have been doing so for quite some time. [ I actually confirmed this by measuring the impedance on my line with devices for said purpose some time ago]. I personally haven't had such pressing need for privacy; but I support your cause [I also believe they monitor everything you see on your screen and their supercomputers are getting better/faster, etc.].

What I believe this is about is their using/referencing same and such for charges, in court or otherwise, etc..

You must realize the law, arbitrarily enforced at best, coercive consistent with their misguided agendas, is all but absolutely meaningless to them except as used to further their respective agendas. The process is totally corrupt (the very few exceptions are statistically insignificant). After all, you need only look so far as the still unprosecuted largest wall street frauds, the government's illegal drug trade, etc.. [Think of it in terms of arm-twisting without the twisting; unless of course, you don't see/do things their way, in which case you may experience the full weight of the law as they arbitrarily apply it. Don't forget: they have the same employer.]

I've experienced this first-hand:

Subject: CISPA vote delayed!

 

Ok, so here's the latest on CISPA:

Insiders expected the Senate to vote in the week after they returned from Memorial Day recess. But guess what? The week’s over, and no vote. Now we're hearing the Senate might not vote until the 3rd or 4th week of June.

This is exactly what we want. CISPA's supporters are in a race against time: in just 7 weeks Congress will shut down, election season kicks in, and the clock runs out for CISPA. Even better, the fact that Congress postponed the vote means they probably don't have enough "yes" votes yet.

The problem is, they’re working on a deal to get those votes. Which is why we need every person receiving this in California to schedule a meeting at their senator’s office. Call, get a time and date and report back, making sure we can contact you. Others will follow your lead and offer to go with you. Let’s do this -- we have to get into their offices before they finish cutting a deal and pass this awful bill.

Click here to call to get a date and time for a meeting now! (It’s super important)

The odds are against us, but the idea of giving the FBI, NSA, and local police a permanent warrantless wiretap on our online life... well, it makes us sick. Let’s win this one.

Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  BULLS ARE EXPECTING MORE FED QE 6-12-12 ‘“I’ve been in favor of pretty much any accommodative policy I’ve heard about,” said Charles Evans, President of the Chicago Fed on Bloomberg TV. What a remarkable statement? (Actually, he says this kind of stuff all the time.) Using his logic you could take anyone off the street and get something accommodative Evans would sign off on. But essentially this is what bulls are hanging their hat on Tuesday…Investigate, and try as I might, there isn’t much reason to rally beyond the powers of the Fed’s printing press and some oversold conditions. As mentioned previously, let’s not forget quad-witching Friday and portfolio manager bonuses due at quarter end. Sure it’s cynical but it’s a fact. The roller coaster ride of uncertainty continues causing investors to sell and shorts to be squeezed. It’s a manipulated algo driven affair. So it’s no wonder many investors have fled markets seeking safety in bonds or mattress money generally…’ ( from Dave’s Daily: http://albertpeia.com/dave.htm )  ,  Biderman On Central Banks: "In The End, They Will Get What They Deserve"  ZeroHedge.com  "We live in interesting times" is the understated introduction to one of Charles Biderman (of TrimTabs) more concerning and stunned rants. With the value of all stocks still around double the 2009 lows yet today's incomes are barely growing, and realistically - with all the headwinds we face - there is no hope for rapid growth in wages & salaries anytime soon, the avuncular analyst feels the need to warn all that "stock prices are due to plunge". Following a little stock market history, Charles notes that while wages and salaries in the US have quadrupled over the past 30 years, the value of all US stocks has risen 18 times. In 1982, stocks relative to wages & salaries were 0.6-to-1 and now the ratio is north of 2.6-to-1. .. Central banks are tying to solve all the world's problems via the printing press and .. the central banks may be the largest market participant but they are not the only one and in the end "they will get what they deserve" as stocks drop to 2009 lows.’  ,  Markets Dead Dog Bounce Back To Friday's Close  ,  Just in!

From Capital To Salary Control: France To Cap State-Owned Company Executive Pay  ,  The Great Hyperinflationary Scavenger Hunt  (Illustrated:)… 'Helicopter Ben' failure, we are again reminded that there is a Plan Z. Recall that none other than the Chairman said in 2002: "Keynes ... once semi-seriously proposed, as an anti-deflationary measure, that the government fill bottles with currency and bury them in mine shafts to be dug up by the public." Below, courtesy of William Banzai is an artist's impression of what said scavenger hunt would look like. Will there be an 'app' for that? Maybe AAPL's new 3D Maps will enable the national treasure hunt? Long Shovels.  ,  Global Bailout Curiosity Soars  If Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain can do it, why not everyone? Heck, why pay for anything, instead of just ramping up debts, until the consolidated debt load is so high the Fed has no choice but to bail everyone out? Of course, this is purely a thought experiment (for now... there are still 5 months in the presidential race). Still, we were curious to see if there is validation of this meme "out there" - and to do this we of course went straight to the source - Google's most recent addition in tracking public queries, Insights for Search, and looked up the term "bailout." We were not at all surprised to find the English-speaking world's curiosity in this particular synonym for a 'free lunch' (with other people's money) has exploded in the last few weeks.  ,  Rosenberg Defines European Insanity  The situation in Europe goes from bad to worse. Gluskin Sheff's David Rosenberg is back to his bearish roots as he remind us that 'throwing more debt after bad debts ends up meaning more debt'. As he notes, the definition of insanity is (via Bloomberg TV): When you realize that of the potential $100 billion to spend, 22% of that has to be provided by Italy and their lending to Spain is at 3% but Italy has to borrow at 6%. They have to lend to Spain $22bn at 3% - it is just madness. Everybody is getting worried again. The solution that they seem to have come up with seems to be worse than the problem in the first place.  ,  The US "Budget Surplus" Miracle Is Over: $125 Billion Deficit In May  One month ago we were pleasantly surprised to note that following 42 straight months of budget deficits, among them record ones, such as the ($231.7) billion recorded in February, the US finally managed to record its first budget surplus since September 2008. The number was a modest but positive $58 billion, although there was once again more than meets the eye. On May 7 we said that "without various temporal adjustments, the April surplus of $58 billion would have been completely netted out by the cumulative $57 billion in deficit time shifts." More importantly, we said, "In other words, enjoy the surplus while you can: for another 30 or so days." Sure enough, 30 days later, the number is out, and it is back to normality: the US recorded a deficit of $125 billion in May, on outlays of $305 billion and revenues of $181 billion. And so the "surplus" miracle is over. ,  Greek Bank Run Update: €100-€500 Million Per Day  ,  The Latest Adventures Of Alice In Euroland ,  China Tells U.S. What It Can Do With Its Iran Oil Import Sanctions  ,  Guest Post: Banks Are An Endangered Species 

 

On Capital Controls

Establishing capital controls is one of the worst forms of theft that a government can impose. It traps people’s hard earned savings and their future income within a nation’s borders. This trapped pool of capital allows the government to transfer wealth from the people to their own coffers through excessive taxation or rampant inflation… both of which soon follow.

The Elite Are Attempting To Convince Us That Killing Off Our Sick Grandparents Is Cool And Trendy

http://endoftheamericandream.com

 

http://albertpeia.com/howtodietime.htm

 

{ First and foremost clarification: There are no elite on this planet. The grim reality for this planet is a dominant species descended from initially notochords, primitive chordates, and relatively more recently primitive apes.
See generally,

[   12 Pictures That Demonstrate How The New World Order Openly Mocks Us http://albertpeia.com/newworldordervedgesmockus.htm  { First, let me say that the vedges of the so-called new world order are in no real position to mock anyone, so mockable as they indeed are, as the incompetent vegetables that they in fact are, who have been the very architects of ultimately their own and the planet’s decline, fall, and demise. Yet, there is no question but that the ‘masses’ so mocked, deserve to be mocked, having embraced their dismal fate at every turn; viz., their embrace of ‘political correctness’, though contraindicated, as, ie., the embrace of the violent, destructive nigger who literally would have them for dinner, or the compulsion to embrace that which the state says is right, though contraindicated, for political expedience owing to failure fed (including the incompetent missteps of the failed fed) desperation, ie., gay marriage, etc., contrived wars / conflicts, among other clearly observable, self-interested behavior of people, companies, nations, including the gargantuan bailed out frauds on wall street to everyone’s (but the frauds’) detriment, still unprosecuted. That the jive-talking, b***s*** artist/grifter/con-man obama has not been held to even one of his former now broken campaign promises and is embraced by those foolish enough to believe more of the same is testament to how deserving of mocking the masses truly are (people should be outraged and wobama should be ‘ridden out on a rail’). Make no mistake; the reality is that the ‘new world order’/so-called ‘elite’ are not elite at all; but rather, incompetent vegetables who can’t do anything right as they’ve now proven time and time again. As I previously said:

The Elite Believe That You Are Ruining Their Planet And They Want You To Stop Reproducing

http://albertpeia.com/planetalreadyruined.htm    ]

‘What should be done with elderly Americans when they become very seriously ill?  Should we try to save their lives or should we just let them die?  Unfortunately, there is a growing consensus among the "intellectual elite" that most elderly people are not going to have a high enough "quality of life" to justify the expense of costly life saving procedures.  This philosophy is now being promoted very heavily through mainstream news outlets, in our television shows and in big Hollywood movies.  The elite are attempting to convince us that killing off our sick grandparents is cool and trendy.  We are being told that "pulling the plug" on grandma and grandpa is compassionate …”

But, then there are those pesky details and fallout to be dealt with. Will current Spanish sovereign debt be subordinate to freshly issued eurozone loans? It seems that’s likely. For most of the trading day Monday, Italian stocks (Fiat, Intesa & others) were halted in trading as contagion worries persisted…Not so cheery news came from the Fed which indicated U.S. family net worth had fallen to levels (40% lower) than those in the early 1990s.

Market Is More Fragile Now Than Pre-Lehman  The significant rise in global systemic risk that occurred in 2008 remained until mid 2010 when it began to subside a little as Jackson Hole and QE2 seemed to allay fears somewhat. However, in the last year or so, BofA's market fragility index has soared higher alarmingly signaling higher systemic risks than in the peak pre-Lehman era. This confirms the massively elevated signal for global systemic risk that credit markets are also sending.

End of Peak Oil: 200-Year Supply Of Oil In One Single Shale Formation

A.M. Freyed | There’s plenty of oil, and even the global elites can’t hide it anymore.  The United States Has Plenty Of Oil: 10 Facts About America's Energy Resources That Will Blow Your Mind http://endoftheamericandream.com http://albertpeia.com/10factsaboutamericanenergyresources.htm [ Well, first off, since we’re only talking decades at best, I agree the alarmist propaganda is all for naught. Yet, make no mistake, those who equate shale oil, deep water oil, etc., with that close to the surface, easily recovered, ie., sweet crude, are as misguided. It’s kind of like that ‘asteroid mining’ that’s ‘become the rage’. Firstly, in hollywood (oh yeah, we’ve seen them digitally land on asteroids, planets as in Avatar, etc., with ease and without a hitch), they don’t keep books the way other businesses do, at least on the creative end, viz., ie., Cameron. And, what do you expect a former pilot to say, etc.? As an example of ‘fuel price makes a difference’, anyone who thinks american airlines among others went bankrupt because they’re so horribly managed or because they felt like strategically avoiding their debt would be mistaken. For airlines it’s all about fuel costs and load factors, capital intensive that they are, and pennies literally do make a difference. Costs of extraction make a difference. Oh sure, there’s loads of oil. It’s all about the costs of getting it. Peak oil really has been reached in terms of ‘easy pickins’. Some even argue/document persuasively that current reserves of the ‘easy pickins’ are over-stated.  ]

Biderman: "We Are In The First Quarter Of The Next Recession"

Rick Davis of The Consumer Metrics Institute plays Clark Kent to Charles Biderman's Superman as the two dig into the latest GDP data. Critically, they break down the components and using inflation levels (CPI-U or The BPP) that make some sense Davis and Biderman are "really worried" that the real economy appears to be in a contractionary state if inflation is adjusted for correctly. Even the anemic BEA's 1.88% growth rate is 'very very poor' for an economy that is supposed to be 3 years into a recovery. The per-capita income (the money available to all households to spend) actually shrank - even using the BEA's inflation data. This juxtaposes shrinking household disposable income with a real economy supposedly growing (though slowly) which was driven almost exclusively by consumer spending - leaving Davis and Biderman questioning 'where this money is coming from?'. The simple answer is the savings rate has plunged, freeing up over $200bn in annual spending (and student loans have added another $100bn, refis $50bn, and strategic defaults $80bn) - all unsustainable one-time increases. Spending is not coming from income. Davis concludes that the BEA is notoriously bad at calling turning points (only getting the Great Recession 'direction' correct after 16 months and magnitude after 40 months) - leaving him of the opinion that we may well be in the first quarter of the next recession.

 

 

 

 

The U.S. Economy By The Numbers: 70 Facts That Barack Obama Does Not Want You To See

http://albertpeia.com/70badfactsaboutuseconomy.htm

Why is the economy going to collapse?  Have you ever been asked that question?  If so, what did you say?  Sometimes it is difficult to communicate dozens of complicated economic and financial concepts in a package that the average person on the street can easily digest.  It can be very frustrating to know that something is true but not be able to explain it clearly to someone else.  Hopefully many of you out there will find the list below useful.  It is a list of 70 numbers that show why we are headed for a national economic nightmare.  So why does the title of the article single out Barack Obama?  Well, it is because right now he is the biggest cheerleader for the economy.  He is attempting to convince all of us that everything is just fine and that the economy is heading in a positive direction.  Well, the truth is that everything is not fine and things are about to get a whole lot worse.  Certainly others should share in the blame as well.  Congress has been steering the economy in the wrong direction for decades, the "too big to fail" banks have turned Wall Street into a pyramid of risk, leverage and debt, and the Federal Reserve has more power over the financial system than anyone else does.  Our economy has been in decline for quite a while now, and soon we are going to smash directly into an economic brick wall.  Unfortunately, a lot of Americans are in denial about this.  A lot of people out there doubt that an economic collapse is coming.  Well, if you know someone that believes that the U.S. economy is going to be "just fine", just show them the list below.

Guest Post: God Don't Save The Queen  { You know, I recently have become somewhat bored of the topic ‘jolly old england’ despite their glaring failure across the board, and a noisome intrusiveness as here, for me, ie., orange street, conn. (  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm  ) , etc., and all the negatives entailed therewith; yet, there’s something so nauseating about that cloyingly bothersome nothingness that bespeaks old england, that ‘go along, get along and pretend’, that I include the following from Zerohedge.com that’s accurate, fair comment. }  "Crowds Cheer Queen On Last Day of Jubilee" So ran the headline from Time.  Yesterday marked the end of the “Diamond Jubilee” of Queen Elizabeth II of the British monarchy.  The four day celebration was is honor of her ascendancy to the throne sixty years ago. Monarchies are supposed to be antithetical to freedom.  Under feudalistic monarchism, the notion of personal liberty took a backseat to loyalty to the king.  Those who weren’t part of or close to the nobility were referred to as subjects.  These peasants were to serve without question. Today, the only difference between the systematic malfeasance and plunder that existed under the rule of monarchs and that which defines the state is the ballot box.  Voters in a sense get to choose a small portion of their rulers.  This gives them the mirage of freedom when the nation-state they inhabit is no less than a contemporary field of serfdom lorded over by kings.  Too much of the public still behaves with the mindset of servants.  They are pathetically docile to those who hold the keys of their shackles.   What the celebration of Queen Elizabeth’s sixty year rule showed is that the people of Great Britain never really escaped from monarchy.  See also,  http://albertpeia.com/esotericagenda.flv   ,  David Takes On The Porn-Addicted Goliath: Egan-Jones Countersues The SEC  A month and a half after the SEC took a much-deserved break from watching taxpayer-funded pornography, and stumbled on the scene with its latest pathetic attempt to scapegoat someone, anyone, for its years of gross incompetence, corruption, and inability to prosecute any of the true perpetrators for an event that wiped out tens of trillions in US wealth, by suing Egan-Jones for "improperly" filing their NRSRO application in what was a glaring attempt to shut them up, the only rating agency with any credibility has done what nobody else in the history of modern crony capitalist-cum-socialist America has dared to do: fight back.

The Criminal Banking Cartel's End Game: A 100% Digital Monetary System

'Failure': Romney slams Obama on economy Mitt Romney called President Barack Obama's handling of the economy a "moral failure of tragic proportions," suggesting he's failed the American people by enacting policies that have been "muddled, confused and simply ineffective."

These are the measures under which the American people are told they are being kept safe.  What would be constituted as war by any other nation is not so when carried out by the U.S. government.  But it’s all just another facade through which Washington pretends to serve the people when in reality it puts them in even more danger.  ,  Guest Post: Brainwashing Starts With This Two-Letter Word  ,  Hot-Tip From Convicted Ponzi Master: "Join My Ponzi: It Is Better Than The Fed's"

Which is sad, because while ever fewer people reap the benefits of artificial, centrally-planned S&P rallies, the rest of the population suffers, and what is worse: hope for a quiet, middle-class life is now an endangered species. Nowhere is this more evident than in the following list from David Rosenberg which summarizes how, quietly, the US labor force slipped back into a full-blown depression.

The EU’s Systemic Risk: Why This Time IS Different

June 4, 2012 By gpc1981  ,  http://albertpeia.com/eusystemicrisk.htm

Europe will collapse before the end of the year and very likely before the end of the summer. When this Crisis hits it will be worse than 2008. And the world Central Banks will not be able to control the damage.

What makes this time different?

Several items:

1)   The Crisis coming from Europe will be far, far larger in scope than anything the Fed has dealt with before.

2)   The Fed is now politically toxic and cannot engage in aggressive monetary policy without experiencing severe political backlash (this is an election year).

3)   The Fed’s resources are spent to the point that the only thing the Fed could do would be to announce an ENORMOUS monetary program which would cause a Crisis in of itself.

Let me walk through each of these one at a time.

6-1-12  The Bad Jobs Report Is Just A Very Small Taste Of The Nightmare That Is Coming  http://albertpeia.com/badjobsreportsmalltasteofcomingnightmare.htm  ‘…The tough stretch that we are going through right now is only a very small taste of the economic nightmare that is on the horizon.  If you think that things are a "disaster" right now, just wait until you see what is coming.’ … The following is from a Zero Hedge summary of a recent presentation by Raoul Pal....

It continues:

It only gets better. We use the term loosely:

So how soon does Raoul Pal think all of this is going to happen?....From a timing perspective, I think 2012 and 2013 will usher in the end. You can find his entire presentation entitled "The End Game" right here. What Raoul Pal is saying lines up very well with what Steve Quayle's anonymous international banking source is telling him....There is no stopping this...We are still on track as I have been predicting for a while now for a fall/winter collapse of the Eurozone and naked exposure of all derivative markets the world over. Europeans will go through a major reset, after time they will recover as Europeans do not carry the type of personal debt that Americans do. It is for America that I worry. Look for these signs next:

1- JPM will be bailed out again but it will not stop the coming market crash. More details will emerge about their derivative swap failure $150 billion and counting.

2-BOA (BAC Bank of America) will fold and be absorbed into JPM as a way to prop up the bleeding Giant. JPM will get the best picking of this deal just like they got with Bear Stearns.

3- Massive layoffs at Citigroup and Wells Fargo

4- Goldman Sachs finally pays the piper, look for massive cuts there as well as BIG Losses

5- Bond market bust which leads to freeze of all bond sales

6- Derivative bust the next one will be BOA followed by Citigroup

7- All CDS shorts and swaps will freeze.

8- Total Meltdown …’

 

 

"The End Game: 2012 And 2013 Will Usher In The End" - The Scariest Presentation Ever?  Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   GLOBAL ECONOMIC DESCENT CONTINUES 6-1-12 ‘We could start by noting Chinese Manufacturing Growth fell to 50.4 vs 53.3 previously. Of course, that’s not impressive. The star of the show was the U.S. The nonfarm payroll data (aka unemployment report) laid an egg. Pundits forecasted growth of 150K jobs but less than half that (69K) was reported and the unemployment rate rose to 8.2%. And, this with so many falling off the employment rolls. Net downward revisions for March and April were 49K. The labor participation rate is low and means there are over 5.34 million people not be accounted for in the official unemployment rate, in other words counted as employed or unemployed, many who probably need a job and can't find one.That's in addition to the official 12.72 million unemployed. http://albertpeia.com/laborparticipationratechartfromdave.jpg

'Dead or Alive' Poster Issued by New Black Panther Party... [ ‘Minority Report’ Division of Pre-Crime, Pre-Cogs say, ‘Dead or Alive – all niggers’ … whatever the outcome in the investigative process, the stark reality is that at least, unlike the niggers committing many more ‘black on white’ violent crimes,  Zimmerman (and this is no endorsement – I won’t be looking at this one incident all that closely) was at least trying to do a good thing made necessary by the ever increasing number of brutal crimes committed by the black thugs in neighborhoods across the nation; then there’s somalian pirates, etc.. People domestically and internationally are suffering from nigger-fatigue and are totally niggered out. Oh, yeah, there are some Hollywood types who feel good about themselves having niggers around and helping niggers to help them feel better than they really are, insecure as they are, by being better than at least someone beyond fantasy. Loony george clooney is one. Dreadfully boring and with that monotone, monotonous voice and not that bright, he’s not even able to fake it on screen as an action hero (ie., batman, what a horrific miscast) wimpy pussy in reality that he is; then there’s the ‘black (sean) penn’ who cried like a baby while incarcerated for a couple of days not that long ago. The atheist jolie, so fatherly troubled as she is, has let the equally mentally troubled pitt (she so nutty she makes him feel somewhat sane though still not too bright) and pendulum ‘backwoods bob’ be the closest she’s gotten to her black projects. Let them live anonomously (in disguise) with the niggers for some time for a real close look and then see what’s left of their predisposed love for the nigger. Then there’s the italian scallion, booby deniro; drug addled as his black wife high-tower, what a total embarrassment to Italians everywhere; even as he tried to ingratiate himself recently with niggers everywhere and particularly national embarrassment mammy michele with the embarrassing pro-nigger first lady remark..   [ Send the niggers back to sub-saharan Africa! ]
'BLACK NIGGERS [ NOT WHITES BY NIGGERS THE IMPLICATION DESPITE FACTUAL DATA TO THE CONTRARY  ] ARE UNDER ATTACK [ SAYS NIGGER SHAKEDOWN ARTIST JACKSON] ' [ Hold on one cotton-pickin’ minute jesse, that’s not what the facts say Obama: ‘If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.’ [ Yeah! He’d look just like any other nigger. And, don’t worry about the black vote, failed president wobama the b for b***s*** will get nearly if not all, 100% of the nigger vote! Drudgereport:  Farrakhan Threatens 'Retaliation'… [ Retaliation? Can you imagine the number of blacks that would have to be retaliated against based upon the hushed reality of the prevalence of black on white crime? The blacks should be careful what they wish for in playing that game because the facts don’t break in their favor. ] ...

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

Biderman: "Everyone Is Now A Seller Of US Stocks" ZeroHedge.com ‘Focusing on his supply-demand perspective of what drives stock prices and the heavy volume of corporate selling combined with mutual fund outflows that we have been so vociferous about, Charles Biderman of TrimTabs provides color on why, just like in 2010 and 2011, markets sold off in May. Whether you believe it is explicitly the angst-inspiring European malaise, Facebook's flop, or US macro deterioration and a pending fiscal cliff - the real driver is more shares chasing less cash as he puts it and reflexively the news exaggerates it or stalls it. Stock prices are likely to keep dropping, no matter what, until the Fed announces the next stimulus/easing (as we all know) but unfortunately this will have no impact on the real economy (though stocks will pop). Biderman berates the Fed for its constant insistence that this time is different and as far as the election 'our policies will bring about sustainable recovery and jobs' promises we will hear from both candidates, he succinctly summarizes thus: "What Bullsh**! Where we are now as a world is: it's ok for government to lie for their own benefit".  , Albert Edwards Has Some Words Of Discouragement: Welcome To S&P 500 Hell  "Expect the S&P500 to decline decisively below its March 2009, 666 intraday low.  All hope will be crushed." http://albertpeia.com/sp500todeclinebelow666.htm    ,   Guest Post: Uncle Sam Admits Monitoring You For These 377 Words  Busting The "Core" European Myth , Market Fails To Zucker In Gullible Traders With End Of Day Stop Hunt  ,  Guest Post: Facebook & the Bubble Mentality So Facebook keeps falling, and is now floating around the $27 mark.  We’re a third of the way down to my IPO valuation of FB as worth roughly $2-4 a share (or 5-10 times earnings), although I wouldn’t be surprised for the market to stabilise at a higher price (at least until the next earnings figures come out and reveal — shock horror — that Facebook is terrible at making money). The really stunning thing is that even after all these falls, FB is still trading at 86 times earnings. What the hell did Morgan Stanley think they were doing valuing an IPO without any viable profit model at over 100 times earnings? The answer is that this was an exit strategy. This IPO was about the people who got in early passing on a stick of dynamite to a greater fool which incidentally is precisely the same bubble mentality business model as bond investors who are currently buying negative-real-yielding treasuries at 1.6% hoping to pass them onto a greater fool at 0.5% (good luck with that).  ,  Goldman Slashes Treasury Yield Forecasts  If it appears like it was only yesterday that Goldman was advising clients to short the 10 Year Treasury, it is because it was... give or take a few months: From January: "Since the end of last August, we have argued that 10-yr US Treasury yields would not be able to sustain levels much below 2% in this cycle. Yields have traded in a tight range around an average 2% since September, including so far into 2012. We are now of the view that a break to the upside, to 2.25-2.50%, is likely and recommend going tactically short. Using Mar-12 futures contracts, which closed on Friday at 130-08, we would aim for a target of 126-00 and stops on a close above 132-00." We added the following: "As a reminder, don't do what Goldman says, do what it does, especially when one looks the firm's Top 6 trades for 2012, of which 5 are losing money, and 2 have been stopped out less than a month into the year." Sure enough, as we tabulated last night, those who had listened to this call, and also gone long stocks as Goldman urged on March 21, have lost nearly 30% in about 2 months. Those who listened to us and did the opposite, well, didn't. Which is why the just released note from the very same Garzarelli who 4 months ago was so gung ho on shorting bonds, just cut his bond yield forecast for the entire world, US Treasurys included: "We now see 10-year US Treasuries ending this year at 2.00% (from 2.50% previously, and 30bp above current forwards), rising to 2.50% (previously 3.25%, and 60bp above the forwards) by December 2013. The corresponding numbers for German Bunds are 1.75% and 2.25%." In other words, it is now that Doug Kass should have made his short bonds call: not when he did it, a month ago and got his face bathsalted right off. For those asking - yes: Goldman is now selling bonds to clients.  ,  Santelli On Capital Flight And Bond Contagion

How The Super Rich Avoid Taxes Even As They Demand That The Rest Of Us Pay More

{As I’ve previously said, President Romney would be less than rational to tell his tax advisors ‘to take a dive’ when it comes to his financial planning. Importantly, it should be noted that up to now, President Romney has not been part of the federal system (unlike obama, kerry, etc.) that sets federal tax policy / laws.}

 

The Second Act Of The JPM CIO Fiasco Has Arrived - Mismarking Hundreds Of Billions In Credit Default Swaps

Europe Is About to Implode... Are You Ready?  Phoenix Capital... We're talking about a banking system that is nearly four times that of the US ($46 trillion vs. $12 trillion) with at least twice the amount of leverage (26 to 1 for the EU vs. 13 to 1 for the US...  ‘(Summers: )I've warned time and again that the EU would collapse in May-June. That collapse is here right on schedule. And NO ONE will be able to stop it.

Here's why:

1) According to the IMF, European banks as a whole are leveraged at 26 to 1 (this data point is based on reported loans... the real leverage levels are much, much higher.) These are a Lehman Brothers leverage levels.

2) The European Banking system is over $46 trillion in size (nearly 3X total EU GDP).

3) The European Central Bank's (ECB) balance sheet is now nearly $4 trillion in size (larger than Germany's economy and roughly 1/3 the size of the ENTIRE EU's GDP). Aside from the inflationary and systemic risks this poses (the ECB is now leveraged at over 36 to 1).

4) Over a quarter of the ECB's balance sheet is PIIGS' debt which the ECB will dump any and all losses from onto national Central Banks (read: Germany)

So we're talking about a banking system that is nearly four times that of the US ($46 trillion vs. $12 trillion) with at least twice the amount of leverage

Marc Faber Sees 100% Probability Of Global Recession In 2013  ZeroHedge.com  From around two minutes into this CNBC clip, Marc Faber brings the conversation back into sharp focus. Noting that "whenever everybody focuses on just one thing - Greece and Europe in this case - there are other things that are far more important - such as a meaningful slowdown in India and China - going on that are being ignored". But remaining on the topic of Europe, Faber consistently opines that the next event risk will be the Greek exit - even though Faber suspects strongly that Germany will cave to Eurobonds eventually - as he comments that the longer the delay of a restructuring/default/exit/euro-bonds takes the higher the probability of a gigantic systemic failure. This subject brings up (at around 3:30) an interesting perspective that the European market would be oddly relieved (not plunging 50%) if Greek exited the Euro as there would be some clarity (though Faber adds that bank and insurance stocks would likely be crushed). At five minutes in though, Faber ramps up the rhetoric noting that while stock indices are not performing terribly, there are many economically sensitive (and luxury) stocks that are down very significantly - which suggests to him that the huge asset price run of the last decades in come to an end prompting the question of the day from CNBC's Cramer-stand-in "You're not looking for a recession in the US are you?" Faber, in his calm, thoughtful way responds, "I think we will have a global recession late this year, early next year", to which a stunned Wapner asks for odds (surely 30%, 50%?) of this recession - "100% certainty" comes the reply to leave Wapner throwing in the towel on any positive spin as Faber suggests the only 'investment' in this case is 'Cash USD' and investors must own some gold  ,  Guest Post: The Taxpayer Funded PR Campaign For Obamacare Begins  ,  Niall Ferguson: "Greece Is The Symptom Not The Cause"

Guest Post: Keynesianism & Eugenics

While eugenicists and Keynesians make correct descriptive observations — like the fact that certain qualities and traits are inheritable, or more simply that children are like their parents — their attempts to use the state as a mechanism to control these natural systems often turns out to be drastically worse than the natural systems that they seek to replace. As Keynes seems to admit when — in the German language edition of his General Theory — he noted that the conditions of a totalitarian state may be more amenable to his economic theory, the desire for control may be the real story here. Keynesianism brings more of the economy under the control of the state. It is a slow and creeping descent into dependency on the state. As we are seeing in Europe today, cuts in state spending in a state-dependent economy can cause deep economic contraction, providing the Keynesian more confirmation for his idea that the state should tax more, and spend more. That is, until nature intervenes. Just as a state-controlled eugenics program might well spawn an inbred elite suffering hereditary illnesses as a result of a lack of genetic diversity, so a state-controlled economy may well grind itself into the dirt as it runs out of innovation as a result of a lack of economic diversity. Such a situation is unsustainable — no planner is smarter than nature.

 

Press 1 For English: Is America Destined To Become A Multilingual Nation?

http://albertpeia.com/usmultilingual.htm

The quickest way to divide people is to have them speak different languages.  America has always been a nation of immigrants, but one of the things that has always united us as a nation has been the English language.  In the past, it was always understood that if you wanted to thrive in the "land of opportunity" that you had better learn English and learn it well.  Unfortunately, times have changed.  Today, many radical activist groups are actually referring to the English language as a "tool of oppression" and are demanding that special accommodations be made for those that do not wish to learn the English language.  But what languages are we supposed to accommodate?  Overall, there are 325 different languages spoken at home in the United States today.  So which of those languages should receive special treatment?  How far are we really going to take all of this?  Someday, instead of your telephone telling you to "press 1 for English, 2 for Spanish", it may tell you to "press 323 for Italian, 324 for Arabic or 325 for English".  Yes, that is kind of a ridiculous example, but we really should examine where all of this is headed.  Is America destined to become a multilingual nation where we all struggle to understand one another?

Trayvon Martin's autopsy shows he had marijuana in his system the night he was killed by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, and a gunshot to his chest came from close range, according to nearly 200 pages of previously undisclosed documents released Thursday.

ABC News Exclusive: Zimmerman Medical Report Shows Broken Nose, Lacerations After Trayvon Martin Shooting {That little (6’3”) thieving nigger was enraged by his being thwarted in his scope-out/plundering of Zimmerman’s neighborhood.

Shooter of Florida teen not a racist, lawyer says...
SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

And, not just whites; viz., Asians, Hispanics, real American Indians,  etc., and most feral beasts except dogs are better than blacks who are at best their equals, though some dog owners/lovers may dispute that. Niggers are a scourge on civilized society wherever they are. Just look around, worldwide, wherever they are, in concentrations particularly; it’s the same nigger story. That’s the way they are. That’s what they are. They are a blight on any neighborhood. They are a blight on any society and an insurmountable burden. They bring any society down. Some will argue, how ‘bout sports?, to which one may reply, ie., just because you go to horse races, doesn’t mean you want to live with horses, or, just because you have monkeys in zoos doesn’t mean you want to live with them, etc., much less cede control and affect over society to them.  ] '

Suspended THREE times for drugs, truancy and graffiti and 'caught carrying a burglary tool': New picture emerges of Trayvon Martin (and did he attack a bus driver too?)

·        Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times in the months before he was shot dead by a neighborhood watchman, it emerged today.

·        The facts, revealed in a leaked report, paint a different picture of a teenager who frequently found himself in trouble with authorities.

·        It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that it is claimed belonged to the teen.

The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a 'burglary tool' - a flathead screwdriver - and 12 pieces of women's jewellery. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.

The other major crimes they do anyway. It’s their nature. You’ll never change the nigger … they evolved only to ‘a point’ and no further.  ] Fairgoers 'pulled out of cars'... 'They were just going after white people'...  Heightened security...  [ I refrained from using the ‘n word’ (or even blacks / negroes) in referring to the culprits in the following two incidents (those tender sensibilities) but I’m sure you’ve guessed that they were niggers and I include same here in light of the foregoing incident (and yes, the victims were white), which is typical. ‘.. while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a “park” - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA’s position with both felonies ( he went to prison – pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of ‘bystander effect’ / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal  / nigger after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal / nigger went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 niggers and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA. But, to be fair and balanced, the RICO litigation involves those uncivilized who consider themselves ‘whites’ http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf  (predominantly but not exclusively jews / romans-italians / mobsters / government slugs). ]

'Dead or Alive' Poster Issued by New Black Panther Party... [ ‘Minority Report’ Division of Pre-Crime, Pre-Cogs say, ‘Dead or Alive – all niggers’ … whatever the outcome in the investigative process, the stark reality is that at least, unlike the niggers committing many more ‘black on white’ violent crimes,  Zimmerman (and this is no endorsement – I won’t be looking at this one incident all that closely) was at least trying to do a good thing made necessary by the ever increasing number of brutal crimes committed by the black thugs in neighborhoods across the nation; then there’s somalian pirates, etc.. People domestically and internationally are suffering from nigger-fatigue and are totally niggered out. Oh, yeah, there are some Hollywood types who feel good about themselves having niggers around and helping niggers to help them feel better than they really are, insecure as they are, by being better than at least someone beyond fantasy. Loony george clooney is one. Dreadfully boring and with that monotone, monotonous voice and not that bright, he’s not even able to fake it on screen as an action hero (ie., batman, what a horrific miscast) wimpy pussy in reality that he is; then there’s the ‘black (sean) penn’ who cried like a baby while incarcerated for a couple of days not that long ago. The atheist jolie, so fatherly troubled as she is, has let the equally mentally troubled pitt (she so nutty she makes him feel somewhat sane though still not too bright) and pendulum ‘backwoods bob’ be the closest she’s gotten to her black projects. Let them live anonomously (in disguise) with the niggers for some time for a real close look and then see what’s left of their predisposed love for the nigger. Then there’s the italian scallion, booby deniro; drug addled as his black wife high-tower, what a total embarrassment to Italians everywhere; even as he tried to ingratiate himself recently with niggers everywhere and particularly national embarrassment mammy michele with the embarrassing pro-nigger first lady remark..   [ Send the niggers back to sub-saharan Africa! ]

Biderman On Malinvestment And Diminishing Returns From Intervention  Charles Biderman of TrimTabs discusses the reality of the macro environment with Madeline Schnapp - though do not worry as the sense of sarcasm and disbelief at the government's actions and hopes is palpable. Noting that our economy is at best growing 'sluggishly' based off her real-time macro data,  Biderman's right hand goes on to explain to him that inflation is running hotter than the government would like us to believe. More importantly, she hits the nail on the head with regard to what Biderman notes is the wasted stimulus money, saying that the economy needs to clear the malinvestments, not sustain them through stimulus transmission mechanisms, in order for growth to once again re-appear. Historically QE2 did manage to create some inventory restocking and pick up in wages/salaries in Q1 2011 but Operation Twist appears to have little to no impact on the real economy (outside of government statistical modelers) - which as we have said before indicates the diminishing returns to government intervention. What is clear is that, as we have noted, that post the 1971 modified gold standard, over a long-period of time it has taken an 'unsustainably' increasing amount of government debt to create economic growth - with the post-2008 insanity that we need $2.50 to create $1 of economic growth. The two end with a discussion of the debt ceiling and deficit potential for a black swan event.

Evidence Obama Born In Kenya Goes Beyond 1991 Brochure

Paul Joseph Watson | Establishment media pulls stunt in effort to diffuse ‘birther’ controversy.

Establishment media pulls stunt in effort to diffuse ‘birther’ controversy

Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com Friday, May 18, 2012

The establishment media hastily seized on yesterday’s explosive story about a literary publication listing Barack Obama’s birthplace as Kenya in an effort to claim that the 1991 brochure was the “origin” of the entire ‘birther’ issue. In reality, evidence that Obama was born in the African country is abundant.

A literary agent’s promotional text for a 1991 brochure released yesterday by Breitbart.com states Obama was “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.”

Yahoo News, along with a deluge of other mainstream news outlets, responded by reporting that the document was potentially the “source” of the birther controversy and had merely been a mistake.

The literary agent who wrote the description, Miriam Goderich, now works with Dystel & Goderich agency, which lists Obama as one of its clients. Unsurprising therefore that Goderich hastily claimed listing Obama’s birthplace as Kenya was “nothing more than a fact checking error.”

However, evidence to indicate that Obama war born in Kenya is plentiful and it goes significantly beyond the 1991 version of the brochure.

- Despite claiming the passage about Obama’s birthplace being Kenya was a mistake, the listing still maintained that Obama’s birthplace was Kenya until after Obama became a U.S. Senator. “Goderich’s statement fails to explain why the “fact checking error” persisted for sixteen years, through at least three different versions of Jane Dystel’s website, and through at least four different versions of Obama’s biography,” reports Breitbart.com.

- The literary agency also updated the text in June 1998, but the part about Obama being born in Kenya was retained.

- The text was again updated in February 2005 to reflect the fact that Obama had become a Senator, but Kenya was still listed as his birthplace.

- After an April 2007 modification of the text, the passage still read Obama, “was born in Kenya.”

- As Steve Boman reveals, the Dystel & Goderich agency asks its clients to submit their own biography, meaning it’s virtually impossible the listing of Obama’s birthplace as Kenya could have been a “fact checking error” on behalf of the literary company itself.

- During a speech about HIV, First Lady Michelle Obama said she and Barack Obama “visited his home country of Kenya.” Watch the clip below.

- In 2008, Obama’s paternal step grandmother appeared to indicate publicly that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. In an interview conducted by American Christian minister Ron McRae, Sarah Obama was asked, ‘Were you present when your grandson was born in Kenya?’” McRae testified in his sworn statement. “This was asked to her in translation twice, and both times she replied, “Yes! Yes she was! She was present when Obama was born.”

- Another source who met Sarah Obama told World Net Daily, “I have keenly and attentively listened to the tape over and over again, and I can confirm from Sarah’s own confession that Barack Obama was born in Kenya in her presence.”

- A separate Kenyan government official agreed, stating, “I have listened to the tape. The preacher asked whether Barack Obama was born in Mombassa, and the translator asked the same. When she said Mombassa, it was like a surprise, and those there thought she could not have meant to say Mombassa.”

- When New York Times bestselling author Jerome Corsi traveled to Kenya to investigate the claims, he was almost immediately kicked out of the country by Kenyan officials.

- When Kenya’s National Security Intelligence Service investigated claims that Obama was born in Kenya, officials in Nairobi found “relevant birth records may have been removed or were missing.”

- Obama has deep political connections in Kenya. From 2006 onwards he rallied in support of Islamist Raila Odinga in Kenya, helping him impose Sharia law. When Odinga lost the Kenyan election in 2008, his supporters rioted, unleashing a wave of violence. Despite the bloodshed, Obama used his influence to aid Odinga in retaining his position as part of a coalition government.

For the mainstream media to imply that the 1991 brochure is the “source” of the claim that Obama was born in Kenya is completely inaccurate. Not only was that brochure updated many times right up until 2007, with the information about Obama’s birthplace being Kenya retained, but there are numerous other factors which all indicate that Kenya could indeed be Obama’s homeland.

New evidence in Trayvon Martin case raises more questions
Trayvon Martin's autopsy shows he had marijuana in his system the night he was killed by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, and a gunshot to his chest came from close range, according to nearly 200 pages of previously undisclosed documents released Thursday.

ABC News Exclusive: Zimmerman Medical Report Shows Broken Nose, Lacerations After Trayvon Martin Shooting {That little (6’3”) thieving nigger was enraged by his being thwarted in his scope-out/plundering of Zimmerman’s neighborhood. Clearly self-defense with wounds consistent with his true story, Zimmerman was fighting for his life and ultimately saved the citizens of Florida from the future costs of the burgeoning violent, thieving typical nigger-criminal trayvon martin.}

Shooter of Florida teen not a racist, lawyer says...
SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

And, not just whites; viz., Asians, Hispanics, real American Indians,  etc., and most feral beasts except dogs are better than blacks who are at best their equals, though some dog owners/lovers may dispute that. Niggers are a scourge on civilized society wherever they are. Just look around, worldwide, wherever they are, in concentrations particularly; it’s the same nigger story. That’s the way they are. That’s what they are. They are a blight on any neighborhood. They are a blight on any society and an insurmountable burden. They bring any society down. Some will argue, how ‘bout sports?, to which one may reply, ie., just because you go to horse races, doesn’t mean you want to live with horses, or, just because you have monkeys in zoos doesn’t mean you want to live with them, etc., much less cede control and affect over society to them.  ] '

Suspended THREE times for drugs, truancy and graffiti and 'caught carrying a burglary tool': New picture emerges of Trayvon Martin (and did he attack a bus driver too?)

·        Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times in the months before he was shot dead by a neighborhood watchman, it emerged today.

·        The facts, revealed in a leaked report, paint a different picture of a teenager who frequently found himself in trouble with authorities.

·        It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that it is claimed belonged to the teen.

The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a 'burglary tool' - a flathead screwdriver - and 12 pieces of women's jewellery. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.

The other major crimes they do anyway. It’s their nature. You’ll never change the nigger … they evolved only to ‘a point’ and no further.  ] Fairgoers 'pulled out of cars'... 'They were just going after white people'...  Heightened security...  [ I refrained from using the ‘n word’ (or even blacks / negroes) in referring to the culprits in the following two incidents (those tender sensibilities) but I’m sure you’ve guessed that they were niggers and I include same here in light of the foregoing incident (and yes, the victims were white), which is typical. ‘.. while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a “park” - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA’s position with both felonies ( he went to prison – pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of ‘bystander effect’ / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal  / nigger after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal / nigger went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 niggers and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA. But, to be fair and balanced, the RICO litigation involves those uncivilized who consider themselves ‘whites’ http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf  (predominantly but not exclusively jews / romans-italians / mobsters / government slugs). ]

'Dead or Alive' Poster Issued by New Black Panther Party... [ ‘Minority Report’ Division of Pre-Crime, Pre-Cogs say, ‘Dead or Alive – all niggers’ … whatever the outcome in the investigative process, the stark reality is that at least, unlike the niggers committing many more ‘black on white’ violent crimes,  Zimmerman (and this is no endorsement – I won’t be looking at this one incident all that closely) was at least trying to do a good thing made necessary by the ever increasing number of brutal crimes committed by the black thugs in neighborhoods across the nation; then there’s somalian pirates, etc.. People domestically and internationally are suffering from nigger-fatigue and are totally niggered out. Oh, yeah, there are some Hollywood types who feel good about themselves having niggers around and helping niggers to help them feel better than they really are, insecure as they are, by being better than at least someone beyond fantasy. Loony george clooney is one. Dreadfully boring and with that monotone, monotonous voice and not that bright, he’s not even able to fake it on screen as an action hero (ie., batman, what a horrific miscast) wimpy pussy in reality that he is; then there’s the ‘black (sean) penn’ who cried like a baby while incarcerated for a couple of days not that long ago. The atheist jolie, so fatherly troubled as she is, has let the equally mentally troubled pitt (she so nutty she makes him feel somewhat sane though still not too bright) and pendulum ‘backwoods bob’ be the closest she’s gotten to her black projects. Let them live anonomously (in disguise) with the niggers for some time for a real close look and then see what’s left of their predisposed love for the nigger. Then there’s the italian scallion, booby deniro; drug addled as his black wife high-tower, what a total embarrassment to Italians everywhere; even as he tried to ingratiate himself recently with niggers everywhere and particularly national embarrassment mammy michele with the embarrassing pro-nigger first lady remark..   [ Send the niggers back to sub-saharan Africa! ]

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

That’s not going to ever change; not make-shift/make-work jobs; not programs; not anything tried or to be tried; hence, they must be treated as exactly that – problems – before a solution can be derived and fashioned. ] [ Send the niggers, including niggerbama back to sub-saharan africa! ]

 

 

 

18 Signs That The Banking Crisis In Europe Has Just Gone From Bad To Worse  http://albertpeia.com/18signseuropebankcrisisbadtoworse.htm  With each passing day, the banking crisis in Europe escalates.  European banks are having their credit ratings downgraded in waves, bond yields are soaring and billions of euros are being pulled out of banks all across the eurozone.  The situation in Europe is rapidly going from bad to worse.  It is almost like watching air being let out of a balloon.  The key to any financial system is confidence, and right now confidence in banks in Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal is declining at an alarming rate.  When things hit the fan in Europe, it is going to be much safer to have your money in Swiss banks or German banks than in Greek banks, Spanish banks or Italian banks.  Millions of people in Europe are starting to realize that a "euro" is not necessarily always going to be a "euro" and they are starting to panic.  The Greek banking system is already on the verge of total collapse, and at this rate it is only a matter of time before we see some major Spanish and Italian banks start to fail.  In fact it has already been announced that the fourth largest bank in Spain, Bankia, will be getting bailed out by the Spanish government.  It is only a matter of time before we hear more announcements like this.  Right now, events are moving so quickly in Europe that it is hard to keep up with them all.  But this is what usually happens in the financial world.  When things go well, it tends to happen over an extended period of time.  When things fall apart, it tends to happen very rapidly…’ , We Are Watching The Greek Banking System Die Right In Front Of Our Eyes  http://albertpeia.com/greekbankingsystemdying.htm

New evidence in Trayvon Martin case raises more questions
Trayvon Martin's autopsy shows he had marijuana in his system the night he was killed by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, and a gunshot to his chest came from close range, according to nearly 200 pages of previously undisclosed documents released Thursday.

ABC News Exclusive: Zimmerman Medical Report Shows Broken Nose, Lacerations After Trayvon Martin Shooting {That little (6’3”) thieving nigger was enraged by his being thwarted in his scope-out/plundering of Zimmerman’s neighborhood. Clearly self-defense with wounds consistent with his true story, Zimmerman was fighting for his life and ultimately saved the citizens of Florida from the future costs of the burgeoning violent, thieving typical nigger-criminal trayvon martin.}

Shooter of Florida teen not a racist, lawyer says...
SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

Detroit Preacher: 'Isn't The Mood In This Nation That White People Are Better Than Black? [ That’s not the mood, that’s reality; the plain, raw, unvarnished truth! And, not just whites; viz., Asians, Hispanics, real American Indians,  etc., and most feral beasts except dogs are better than blacks who are at best their equals, though some dog owners/lovers may dispute that. Niggers are a scourge on civilized society wherever they are. Just look around, worldwide, wherever they are, in concentrations particularly; it’s the same nigger story. That’s the way they are. That’s what they are. They are a blight on any neighborhood. They are a blight on any society and an insurmountable burden. They bring any society down. Some will argue, how ‘bout sports?, to which one may reply, ie., just because you go to horse races, doesn’t mean you want to live with horses, or, just because you have monkeys in zoos doesn’t mean you want to live with them, etc., much less cede control and affect over society to them.  ] '

Suspended THREE times for drugs, truancy and graffiti and 'caught carrying a burglary tool': New picture emerges of Trayvon Martin (and did he attack a bus driver too?)

·        Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times in the months before he was shot dead by a neighborhood watchman, it emerged today.

·        The facts, revealed in a leaked report, paint a different picture of a teenager who frequently found himself in trouble with authorities.

·        It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that it is claimed belonged to the teen.

The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a 'burglary tool' - a flathead screwdriver - and 12 pieces of women's jewellery. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.

'They were just going after white people'...  Heightened security...  [ I refrained from using the ‘n word’ (or even blacks / negroes) in referring to the culprits in the following two incidents (those tender sensibilities) but I’m sure you’ve guessed that they were niggers and I include same here in light of the foregoing incident (and yes, the victims were white), which is typical. ‘.. while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a “park” - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA’s position with both felonies ( he went to prison – pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of ‘bystander effect’ / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal  / nigger after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal / nigger went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 niggers and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA. But, to be fair and balanced, the RICO litigation involves those uncivilized who consider themselves ‘whites’ http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf  (predominantly but not exclusively jews / romans-italians / mobsters / government slugs). ]

'Dead or Alive' Poster Issued by New Black Panther Party... [ ‘Minority Report’ Division of Pre-Crime, Pre-Cogs say, ‘Dead or Alive – all niggers’ … whatever the outcome in the investigative process, the stark reality is that at least, unlike the niggers committing many more ‘black on white’ violent crimes,  Zimmerman (and this is no endorsement – I won’t be looking at this one incident all that closely) was at least trying to do a good thing made necessary by the ever increasing number of brutal crimes committed by the black thugs in neighborhoods across the nation; then there’s somalian pirates, etc.. People domestically and internationally are suffering from nigger-fatigue and are totally niggered out. Oh, yeah, there are some Hollywood types who feel good about themselves having niggers around and helping niggers to help them feel better than they really are, insecure as they are, by being better than at least someone beyond fantasy. Loony george clooney is one. Dreadfully boring and with that monotone, monotonous voice and not that bright, he’s not even able to fake it on screen as an action hero (ie., batman, what a horrific miscast) wimpy pussy in reality that he is; then there’s the ‘black (sean) penn’ who cried like a baby while incarcerated for a couple of days not that long ago. The atheist jolie, so fatherly troubled as she is, has let the equally mentally troubled pitt (she so nutty she makes him feel somewhat sane though still not too bright) and pendulum ‘backwoods bob’ be the closest she’s gotten to her black projects. Let them live anonomously (in disguise) with the niggers for some time for a real close look and then see what’s left of their predisposed love for the nigger. Then there’s the italian scallion, booby deniro; drug addled as his black wife high-tower, what a total embarrassment to Italians everywhere; even as he tried to ingratiate himself recently with niggers everywhere and particularly national embarrassment mammy michele with the embarrassing pro-nigger first lady remark..   [ Send the niggers back to sub-saharan Africa! ]
'BLACK NIGGERS [ NOT WHITES BY NIGGERS THE IMPLICATION DESPITE FACTUAL DATA TO THE CONTRARY  ] ARE UNDER ATTACK [ SAYS NIGGER SHAKEDOWN ARTIST JACKSON] ' [ Hold on one cotton-pickin’ minute jesse, that’s not what the facts say
Obama: ‘If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.’ [ Yeah! He’d look just like any other nigger. And, don’t worry about the black vote, failed president wobama the b for b***s*** will get nearly if not all, 100% of the nigger vote! Drudgereport:  Farrakhan Threatens 'Retaliation'… [ Retaliation? Can you imagine the number of blacks that would have to be retaliated against based upon the hushed reality of the prevalence of black on white crime? The blacks should be careful what they wish for in playing that game because the facts don’t break in their favor. ] ...

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

The reality is that blacks are an insoluble problem wherever they are. That’s not going to ever change; not make-shift/make-work jobs; not programs; not anything tried or to be tried; hence, they must be treated as exactly that – problems – before a solution can be derived and fashioned. ] [ Send the niggers, including niggerbama back to sub-saharan africa! ]

 

 

Chris Martenson: "We Are About To Have Another 2008-Style Crisis" ZeroHedge.com

Well, my hat is off to the global central planners for averting the next stage of the unfolding financial crisis for as long as they have. I guess there’s some solace in having had a nice break between the events of 2008/09 and today, which afforded us all the opportunity to attend to our various preparations and enjoy our lives.

Alas, all good things come to an end, and a crisis rooted in ‘too much debt’ with a nice undercurrent of ‘persistently high and rising energy costs’ was never going to be solved by providing cheap liquidity to the largest and most reckless financial institutions. And it has not.

Death By Foreclosure: Desperate Man Commits Suicide After Wells Fargo Steals His Home

Alternet | This is the story of what happens when an average couple is up against a giant, wealthy, powerful bank.

This is the story of what happens when an average couple is up against a giant, wealthy, powerful bank.

Dave Johnson
Alternet
May 16, 2012

Norman and Oriane Rousseau were one more couple pushed by a huge, greedy bank to the brink of homelessness. On Sunday, desperate and with nowhere to go, Norman Rousseau shot himself. 

This is the story of what happens when an average couple is up against a giant, wealthy, powerful bank. Unfortunately the result is what the result always is when people are on their own against the wealthy and powerful: the bank ends up with all of their money, takes their house to sell and throws them out onto the street. In this case the bank is Wells Fargo.

The quick version of this terrible story is that Norman and Oriane Rousseau of Newbury Park, California were scammed into a predatory mortgage. But they made their payments anyway, always paying with a cashier’s check in person at the same branch. Then one day the bank misapplied their payment and said they still owed the money. This started a long, nasty process that led to the bank evicting the Rousseaus from their home. 

Here’s the shocker: right at the start the Rousseaus came up with proof that the bank had received the payment and had cashed the check. But the bank continued to claim it had missed the payment, gave the Rousseaus the runaround, started applying fees, and used it as an excuse to foreclose on the house anyway.

Why Is It Necessary For The Federal Government To Turn The United States Into A Prison Camp?

http://albertpeia.com/usprisoncamp.htm

{ I really must say that this is a tough one because the vast majority of americans are inherently criminal, with the highest crime rates in the world among the so-called ‘civilized’ nations (you can’t count the niggers of sub-saharan africa as civilized, and there’s no question but that the niggers have disproportionately skewed the american crime rates, particularly violent crimes, higher); including, from my direct observation and experience, that within all three branches of the u.s. government. Indeed, the (should be prison) inmates are running this asylum called america. The reality is that there are so many americans that are not in jail who should be in jail, it’s difficult to avoid these harsh third world measures in what has essentially become a third world nation overrun by the most sordid, despicable criminals one can imagine. They must really prosecute the biggest criminals including the oligarchs as, ie., the huge frauds on wall street, etc., and ‘bury’ the violent repeat offenders, etc., without exception. The problem with america is not the terrorist threat from without, but rather the plethora of inherently criminal americans within. Moreover, the corruption is pervasive and systemic. Unfortunately, crime pays in america and pays well; and, God help you if you try to live within the law and get in their way or potentially cost them money or some of their illegal business because no one else will. There’s criminal control at all levels of american society. That’s the problem; with the relatively few non-criminally inclined, criminal by complicity inasmuch as americans are for the most part gutless cowards who go along to get along along with a million other excuses, not the least of which is ‘the price was right’. That’s reality! That said, it’s the ‘for or agin’ me primitive mentality that pervades the u.s. government, ‘thought police’, arbitrary powers of detainment, abrogation of first admendment rights, internet intrusion/censorship, arbitrary enforcement of the law, etc., that is and I find particularly appalling, counter-productive, and regressive. There is an element of projection, given some of the evil things the government has done abroad; blowback being not entirely out of the realm of possibility which ultimately is the sad consequence of the worst of human nature which is invariably inclined to go too far in the worst way. The sad fact is that as with any banana republic, the governmental powers that be go to whatever nefarious lengths necessary (control by whatever means, at some level) to unreasonably maintain their access to undeserved power, money, resources, luxuries, etc.,  invariably to the detriment of the vast majority as is so here in america today. There are very few positive things that can be said of america today. I, for one, cannot think of any at all!   [  ‘america, love it or leave it’? Love it?

The man whose book 'Margin of Safety' sells for over $1000 (and whose acumen extends for decades) just released Baupost's (his fund) quarterly letter and makes what should be a critical statement for any and every investor to consider when next they hear of quantitative easing prognostications. In two short sentences, Klarman states: "We will not be tempted into making investments based on such absurdly short-term thinking, which sadly still dominates Wall Street. We focus solely on fundamentals. We are comfortable missing out on potentially major rallies if they are based purely on money flows or government action; the risks of engaging in this sort of speculative activity are simply too high." And echoing our thoughts perfectly, "The same low interest rate, deficit-spending driven, leverage-friendly economic policies that fueled the unsustainable conditions that led to the 2008 collapse are with us still."

EFF, The Yes Men, and Protesters Fight Secret Negotiations to Regulate the Internet

EFF's International IP Director Gwen Hinze traveled to Dallas this week to demand transparency in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement, a secret international trade negotiation that includes provisions to regulate intellectual property and the Internet. She was joined by hundreds of protesters rallying outside the Dallas hotel as well as culture-jamming activist group The Yes Men, who presented U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk with the fictitious "2012 Corporate Power Tool Award." Over 18,000 Internet users have used the EFF action center to speak out against the TPP; please help us get to 20,000 by contacting Congress today.

DHS Considers Collecting DNA From Kids

Documents just released by US Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) in response to one of EFF’s Freedom of Information Act requests show that DHS is considering collecting DNA from kids ages 14 and up -- and is exploring expanding its regulations to allow collection from kids younger than that. The proposal appears to be working its way through DHS in the wake of regulations that require all federal agencies to collect DNA from individuals arrested for federal crimes as well as "from non-United States persons who are detained under the authority of the United States," whether or not they have been involved in criminal activity.

Unsealed Court Records Confirm that RIAA Delays Were Behind Year-Long Seizure of Hip Hop Music Blog

After a year-long seizure and six more months of secrecy, the court records were finally released concerning the mysterious government takedown of Dajaz1.com -- a popular blog dedicated to hip hop music and culture. The records confirm that one of the key reasons the blog remained censored for so long is that the government obtained three secret extensions of time by claiming that it was waiting for "rights holders" and later, the Recording Industry Association of America. In other words, having goaded the government into an outrageous and very public seizure of the blog, the RIAA members refused to follow up and answer the government’s questions.

The New York City District Attorney is facing new obstacles in its attempts to subpoena information from Twitter regarding the account of Malcolm Harris, one of the 700 people arrested on the Brooklyn Bridge in an October 2011 Occupy Wall Street protest. Faced with a written order to comply with the subpoena, Twitter filed a motion to quash the subpoena, arguing that complying would violate the law.

EFF to Testify at Hearings on Expanding DMCA Exemptions for Jailbreaking and Video Remixing

Experts from EFF will testify at public hearings held by the U.S. Copyright Office this month, urging officials to renew and expand the critical exemptions to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that the Copyright Office granted in 2009 in response to EFF's requests to protect the rights of American consumers who modify electronic gadgets and make remix videos.

Oracle v. Google and the Dangerous Implications of Treating APIs as Copyrightable

At stake in the case of Oracle v. Google is whether APIs can be considered copyrightable, which would have a profound negative impact on interoperability, and, therefore, innovation.

Jason Weinstein, a deputy assistant attorney general in the Department of Justice's criminal division, told a panel at the Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee's "State of the Mobile Net" conference that requiring a search warrant to obtain location tracking information from cell phones would "cripple" prosecutors and law enforcement officials. We couldn't disagree more.

The Office of the United States Trade Representative released its annual Special 301 report, a review of other countries’ intellectual property laws and enforcement standards. What’s particularly obnoxious about these reports is that countries are judged on whether they adopt very particular implementations of international legal standards and interpretations of controversial parts of U.S. law that only reflect the interests of intellectual property (IP) rightsholder industries -- not everyday Internet users.

Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  MARKETS CAN’T CLIMB ON ONE WHEEL 5-14-12 ‘Angela Merkel’s party suffered a severe rebuke in local elections to socialists and other left parties. This action demonstrates the tenacity with which the public in the eurozone demands to cling to government benefits versus austerity. It further complicates matters politically for the EMU and previously agreed financial arrangements and commitments. On Saturday, the troika agreed to give Greece an extra year (2015) to reach its budget and deficit goals. This shows weakness. All this means is the eurozone will remain a problem for months and years to come. Clearly, if austerity and reform are off the table then who will pick-up the tab—the Chinese? JP Morgan (JPM) estimated if Greece were to bug-out of the eurozone and their commitments, it would cost the remaining bag holders $500 billion. We see the same conditions in Wisconsin and now California facing a $16 billion budget shortfall. The fight with public unions and other entitlements is only just beginning as current and future benefits are too much to bear fiscally without reform.

As an aside let’s review the reoccurring issues with mega-banks as just happened with JPM. I’ve been writing about the demise of the Glass-Steagall Act (GSA) for a long time. I featured it in my early 2007 book “Create Your Own ETF Hedge Fund” and frequently on ETF Digest. The GSA was made law during the Great Depression. Among other things it separated banks from brokers and federally insured bank deposits (FDIC) to $100K. This had meant banks were restricted in how they dealt with depositor funds which were widely insured by the public. In the late second term of the Clinton administration the law was allowed to lapse. At the core of this demise were a band of brothers (Phil Gramm, Chris Dodd, Alan Greenspan and Robert Rubin) led by Sanford “call me Sandy” Weill. He was the straw that stirred the drink and a major WS wheeler-dealer. It allowed his brokerage firm to merge with Citigroup putting the fox in the henhouse. Others quickly followed suit. It was great (for them) from the get-go but a financial disaster ultimately as the walls separating underwriting and trading from federally insured deposit taking came tumbling down. It created a regulatory mess as a multitude of agencies now had responsibility to oversee these new mega-bank combinations. Regulators were inadequate to the task. When the financial crisis hit in 2008 suddenly trading the public’s money meant the public had to bail out these new mega-banks. Rather than reinstituting various protections of the GSA the government just heaped more regulations atop those that weren’t working anyway. The mega-banks and their congressional allies weren’t about to let the toothpaste be put back in the tube. Therefore, we still have these JPM trading fiascos occurring because there aren’t enough smart (emphasis added) regulators to oversee (herd cats) mega-banks. And, besides if they’re bailed-out once they expect to be bailed-out again..’

 ‘WALL STREET DOES BROADWAY’

http://albertpeia.com/wallstreetdoesbroadway.htm

http://albertpeia.com/collapseofderivativesmarket.htm

 

Lot of whistling down there on wall street as ‘WALL STREET DOES BROADWAY’ (not Main Street mind you, they’re for screwin’) … Rogers and Hamerstein to be exact with their recurring theme going thusly:

 

Whenever the frauds on wall street feel afraid,

Their penises get erect (for screwin’ someone other than their deserving selves),

They whistle a happy tune,

So no one will suspect,

They’re afraid.

 

While shivering in their shoes,

They strike a fearless pose,

And whistle a happy tune,

So no one will suppose,

They’re afraid.

 

Yeah, lots and lots of whistling on fraudulent wall street. So uniquely fashioned to their task of obfuscation and fraud, even Humphrey Bogart would have found Lauren Bacall’s instructive direction for same as wanting in comparison (not everyone will get this…famous, but strictly unreal cinematic show biz, not the live fraud biz of wall street fame). I believe much of this soft shoe song and dance was for the ‘benefit’ of european markets which are hopelessly in the throes of their own confrontation with reality, which despite all the whistling is all going to get much worse than feared, fearless poses notwithstanding (see infra).

 

It is here where wobama not doing what he said he’d do last campaign littered with his jive-talking b***s***!

Drudgereport: Obama: 'Sometimes I Forget' Magnitude of Recession…{ Oh! How conveniently forgetful, though the vast majority of americans don’t have wobama’s luxury of feigned amnesia suffering from what wobama did and didn’t do contrary to promises last time around the perpetual campaign trail littered with his typical jive-talking b***s***! The following headline will help him remember some of his sordid, pot-clouded high school past! }...
FLASHBACK: Obama's Sordid High School Past...
By Ben Shapiro ‘While the Washington Post has been diligently digging into relatively innocent high school pranks by Mitt Romney, they’ve spent the last few years diligently ignoring President Obama’s far more controversial high school days.Obama, by all accounts, was a habitual drug user in high school. He tried cocaine, he admits in Dreams From My Father; he “tried drugs enthusiastically.” The Chicago Tribune reported back in 2007 that Obama thanked the “Choom Gang” in his high school yearbook; “chooming” was Hawaiian slang for smoking pot. The Honolulu Advertiser reported that Obama’s senior portrait “prominently displayed … A package of ‘Zig-Zag’ rolling papers and a matchbook.” One of Obama’s close friends was arrested for drug possession during high school.In his memoir, Obama talked about routinely getting high. “Junkie. Pothead,” he wrote. “That’s where I’d been headed: the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man.” But, according to Obama, he only got high because he was contemplating deep matters: drugs could “push questions of who I was out of my mind.” Obama told students in 2007 that this activity constituted “goofing off” and “wasting time”:"I will confess to you that I was kind of a goof off in high school as my mom reminded me," Obama said. "I went to high school in Hawaii, so there's a lot of opportunity to goof off because the weather is really good all the time …"You know, I made some bad decisions …. You know, got into drinking and experimenting with drugs. There was a whole stretch of time where I didn't apply myself. It wasn't until I got out of … high school, and went to college that I started realizing, man, I wasted a lot of time.”The New York Times, however, went out of its way to find Obama’s classmates to testify that drugs played only a “bit part” in Obama’s youth. Yet Obama would later brag on the campaign trail that he “inhaled frequently … that was the point.”During his high school years, Obama hung out with communist radical Frank Marshall Davis; in 2007, the Los Angeles Times reported that during his high school days, “he felt the first stirrings of anger toward whites. He says he also delved into black nationalism.” He was “offended or even enraged when white classmates adopted black street slang or revealed their underlying consciousness of his race by going out of their way to tell him how much they admired a black musician or athlete.” This activity is certainly more reflective of Obama’s ideological history than Mitt Romney’s pranks on teachers and fellow students. And as for the drug use – well, that seems just a bit more serious than walking a teacher into a door or cutting a student’s hair. But leave it to the Post to ignore or downplay all of that in favor of continuing stories about Romney’s dog, his high school hijinks, and whatever other nonsense they can use to protect President Obama from his own incompetence.’ Ben Shapiro is Breitbart News Editor-at-Large.  Follow him on twitter @benshapiro.

 No doubt that after expending all that energy bullying an innocent little girl, young Obama readied himself for round two by eating a Golden Retriever.

3.6 Million Taxpayer Dollars Being Used To Support The Lavish Lifestyles Of Former Presidents Such As Bush And Clinton  http://albertpeia.com/nothingsucceedslikefailureinamerica.htm  , Guest Post: Obama Embraces Gay Marriage Durden ‘I’m in favour of consenting adults being able to do whatever they like with each other, but the fact that the current push for gay marriage is supported by Lloyd Blankfein and Goldman Sachs makes me very suspicious (does he want to sell securitised gay marriage debt?). It just seems like an easy issue for Obama to posture on, while trampling the Constitution into the dirt. When it comes to civil liberties, Obama has always talked a good game, and then acted more authoritarian than Bush. He talked about an end to the abuses of the Bush years and an open and transparent government, yet extended the Fourth-Amendment-shredding Patriot Act, empowered the TSA to produce naked body scans and engage in humiliatingly sexual pat-downs, signed indefinite detention of American citizens into law, claimed and exercised the power to assassinate American citizens without trial, and aggressively prosecuted whistleblowers. Under his watch the U.S. army even produced a document planning for the reeducation of political activists in internment camps. Reeducation camps? In America? And some on the left are still crowing that talking about being in favour of gay marriage makes him “pro civil liberties”? Is this a joke? , Obama criticizes Romney as 'backwards on equality' President Barack Obama wasted little time casting Republican rival Mitt Romney as "backwards on equality" on Thursday, eager to transform his historic embrace of same-sex marriage into donor... { Except that wobama’s been as he puts it, backwards on equality until one day ago when he embraced same sex marriage for election-year expedience in desperation after opposing same for years; and, don’t forget, despite promises to the contrary, no prosecutions for the big frauds on wall street who remain in wobama’s monkey-eyes more equal than others.

He is also the CEO of a private investigative agency serving a roster of Fortune 500 clients. Due to his expertise in covert surveillance and counter-terrorism, Mr. Hagmann has been used as an operational asset by the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI, as well as the Pennsylvania and New York State Police agencies. Earlier this month, Doug said high-level, reliable sources told him the Department of Homeland Security is preparing for “massive civil war” in America as a result of a collapse of the dollar and the hyperinflation that will result. Alex also continues his coverage of the Army's re-education camps and the upcoming Bilderberg confab in Virginia.

EVOLUTION: OBAMA NOW BACKS GAY MARRIAGE…       [ Well, with some frolicking documented coicaine/gay sex romping in his past, he’d be hard pressed not to. Interestingly, Clit Eastwood has come out in favor of gay marriage saying he doesn’t give a f**k… good for you Clit; spoken like a true egalitarian. Truth be told, I always liked those spagetti westerns that put him on the map; his own ‘Pale Rider’, particularly; and of course, the ‘Dirty Harry’ series. Aside from that, I find him/his films boring, shallow, and plebian beyond tears; hardly the philosopher king. Yet, I also don’t give a f**k regarding gays living their lives as they wish, with full constitutional protections consistent with their presumed law-abiding lives, particularly in a world like this, such as it is. But, that doesn’t mean the ‘state’ must get behind (no pun intended) same. There are few if any legal statuses that can’t be achieved through legal document, ie., adoptions, trust beneficiaries, etc.. Marriage, procreation, the province of a man/woman relationship has always been a given. Also interesting was the take on same by reknown Psychiatrist Maslow (his famed, laudable work regarding hierarchy of needs, etc., needs no introduction) who wrote and posited that homosexuality was physically, anatomically contraindicated. Again, let me reiterate a live, let live position while cautioning against the state getting behind (again, no pun) same and potentially giving young, pubescent, impressionable boys the idea that penises were made for male a**holes and not female vaginas. ] ...  OBAMA ADMITS FABRICATING GIRLFRIEND IN MEMOIR { Latent gay man obama -  ...   Barack Obama: The Naked Emperor Shocking but true revelations from David Icke| ..Obama is just more of the same, a big smile with strings attached, and controlled completely by those that chose him, trained him, sold him and provided his record funding, kept his many skeletons under wraps, like the gay sex and crack cocaine ..

Who is Ron Allen that claims to be with your Presidential camp, who is alleged to claim that someone claiming to represent me called asking for $100,000, to keep me from coming forward about our (Obama and I) November 1999 encounter of sex and cocaine use?), ... Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself .., and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. ] http://albertpeia.com/obamadeceptionhighqualityversion.flv   }

Ron Paul Could Still Win Enough Delegates To Deny Mitt Romney The Republican Nomination

http://endoftheamericandream.com

 

http://albertpeia.com/notgoingtohappen.htm

 

{  First, let me say at the outset, that if Ron Paul’s grandmother had had wheels, she’d have been a trolley car. Not going to happen! Second, I include this article on my website as a matter of first amendment principle, encouraged by the authors of their website so to do. Third, and most important, it doesn’t matter what Ron Paul does at this point. He’s totally irrelevant as he’s proven over and over again to be at the end of an atypically grueling primary campaign. Quite simply, with plenty of opportunity to do so, Ron Paul never resonated with the primary voters of his own party, which party he himself chose. In a general election, Ron Paul would be lucky to get (probably the low end of the range of) 15%-25% of the vote. Remember: we’re not talking about a high school debate here, but rather an american general election with all its faults. There isn’t one vote that potentially goes to the failed president obama that couldn’t/wouldn’t as likely go, and upon reflection with rationality the criteria would go to Mitt Romney. Obviously, that’s clearly not the case for Paul. Wobama‘s a jive-talking loser who failed to do what he said he’d do last time around which we now know if he had done this nation and the world would be in a better position this day. Mitt Romney really wants to be President, which of course is not the decisive test. He’s smart enough, and flexible enough (which set up the primary battles to follow) to be President of all the nation. He wanted it, fought for it, and has earned it. At the age of 77, one could only at best say of Ron Paul that he should have started sooner. At worst, given that Paul’s chosen defacto to favor the side of collectively the losers for the proven loser, the mentally troubled b***s*** artist obama; which then makes him no more than a loser himself, and an embittered, senile old man at that. I side with the former missionary, President Mitt Romney and First Lady Ann who I congratulate for their victory in what I further believe will be a blowout victory in November.  }

 

"Shattering The American Dream": The US Government’s Ponzi Scheme Tyler Durden 5-4-12 While Larry Kotlikoff was markedly pessimistic in the past (as we noted here just over a year ago), it seems it was a dress-rehearsal to his latest evisceration of what he now calls the US Government's Ponzi Scheme. In a recent VoxEU article on America's "fiscal child abuse", Kotlikoff and two colleagues demolish the idea of sustainability of government finances and how well off younger generations will be compared with their parents. The game is close to over and for today's children, the American dream will be just that - a dream! , Santelli On Propaganda And Ostrich Economics Everyone's favorite Chicago-ite, Rick Santelli, once again presents himself as the truth-teller-in-chief on the propaganda channel. This morning's dismal jobs data but utopian reporting of the improvement in the headline unemployment rate appears to have hit a nerve. Santelli takes on just how bad the employment picture really is, how mainstream media practices 'Ostrich Economics', and finally how nothing is deemed important to most politicians except who is to blame. One of Rick's best as perhaps CNBC has been looking at its ratings and realizes investors want the truth not the spin. , Guest Post: Debt Serfdom In One Chart Bottom line: financialization and substituting debt for income have run their course. They're not coming back, no matter how hard the Federal Reserve pushes on the string. Both of these interwined trends have traced S-curves and are now in terminal decline: Those hoping the economy is "recovering" on the backs of financial speculation/ legerdemain and ramped up borrowing by the lower 95% will be profoundly disappointed when reality trumps fantasy. , People Not In Labor Force Soar By 522,000, Labor Force Participation Rate Lowest Since 1981

 

The Two Scariest Charts From Today's NFP Report, Or The Real "New Part-Time Normal" , Real U-3 Unemployment Rate: 11.6% Propaganda unemployment rate: 8.1%; Real unemployment rate: 11.6%. Reason for difference: organic growth of labor force which grows alongside the broader population. Don't be confused by cheap explanations on TV why the labor force should be declining (especially with ZIRP meaning pre-retirement workers have to stay in the labor force ever longer to supplant their meager fixed income): the widely accepted definition of the labor pool, that used by the CBO and all other government forecasting agencies, assumes a 90,000 growth in the labor force every month as it has to keep in line with the growth of the US population! The implication is simple: using a real labor force participation rate long-term average of 65.8%, the real unemployment rate in April was 11.6%, based on the 5.4 million additional workers that should be counted as part of the U-3 which then means that the real number of unemployed is not 12.5 million but 17.9 million, which in turn implies a 11.6% unemployment rate in the US. This also means that the spread between the propaganda, and the real number is now 3.5%: the most it has been since the early 1980s.

 

Dave’s Daily http://etfdigest.com IN A NEW YORK INSTANT, EVERYTHING CAN CHANGE 5-4-12 ‘The global contraction has reached U.S. markets. The week in U.S. markets was going to be difficult and challenging with employment and ISM data dominating combined with earnings. Overall, things were okay given the heavy dose of data until Thursday afternoon when investors began to bail from markets. The ADP Employment report Wednesday wasn’t inspiring but the ISM Mfg Index was better than expected. Jobless Claims Thursday were also better than expected but the ISM Services data was a big miss leading to selling. Eurozone unemployment Thursday was reported at 10.9% and Friday the eurozone reported the PMI was 46.9 vs 49.2 confirming a likely recession. Friday’s U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls Report showed only 115K new jobs with over 500K workers leaving the employment rolls. Further, it’s reported that over 700K people will lose their unemployment benefits in June.The previously bullish increase in stocks came undone in a New York minute.

Eric Holder To Be Held In Contempt Of Congress?

http://albertpeia.com/ericholderincontemptofcongress.htm

While normally we stay away from outright political commentary especially of the kind that has no direct relation to finance or the economy, the fact is that if the US had a functioning, uncompromised, uncorrupt, and effective Justice Department, much of what we see every day on Wall Street would be vastly different since if crime did indeed have punishment, then a vast portion of the questionable behavior that is exhibited by financiers would have been eliminated long ago. Which is why we find the news just released from The Hill that "Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) has circulated a draft copy of a resolution that would hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress" particularly relevant. For it is none other than Holder's complete lack of involvement and intervention to outright daily crimes conducted in the financial world that is as much a reason for the deplorable economic state of this country and the world, as are all those other factor extensively discussed in books and documentaries each and every day.

Why You Shouldn't Trust Tomorrow's BLS Number

While much has been written on the revisions, adjustments, and just-plain-guesses that make up the BLS' non-farm-payroll data, the frustration levels are building in the Bay Area as Charles Biderman provides the most in-depth discussion of why we need a better press corps. The simple truth, as Charles notes, is that even the BLS doesn't believe its own hype (in its footnotes) and while mainstream media and talking heads will quote the unemployment rate or NFP change as if it was transcribed by the hand of God, it is in fact an extremely ill-formed, very narrow survey with such huge statistical noise as to be entirely useless. However, while every human should watch this brief clip before buying that 100-lot ES milliseconds after the release tomorrow, we suspect, as usual, it will be algos-gone-wild no matter how many sigma we beat or miss.

USA #1? 40 Embarrassing Things That America Is The Best In The World At  http://albertpeia.com/40badthingsusabest.htm  , They Love Death  http://albertpeia.com/theylovedeath.htm

What can the Federal Reserve do? With the U.S. economy at risk of a double-dip recession, the central bank lacks tools to do anything. (Washington Post) [ Oh I’d say they’ve done quite enough … wouldn’t you? … Is Bernanke Failing His Fed Mission Or Just Delusional? at Forbes Robert Barone [ How ‘bout both! I mean, come on! This catering to fraudulent wall street was a loser ab initio! That so-called ‘wealth effect’ market froth was used previously by senile ‘maestro’ greenspan and failed miserably except for the frauds on wall street who commissioned up and down; and, make no mistake, those computer-programmed high-frequency trading volumes have now been maximized for nation-economy-draining profits for the frauds like never before and have never been higher. The QE and dollar-debasement policies were always predictably inflationary, ultimately hyperinflationary, particularly for stocks; that ‘feel good’ obfuscation that was but in reality good only for the frauds on wall street. No, there is no modern day alchemy that spins worthless paper into gold except fraudulently for the frauds on wall street who’ve literally oftimes done exactly that; ‘cashing out’ for hard currency and gold, precious metals, at everyone else’s expense including main street. ] In his June 7 speech, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke stated, “the best way for the Federal Reserve to support the fundamental value of the dollar in the medium term is to pursue our dual mandate of maximum employment and price stability, and we will certainly do that.”

.. Bernanke’s results .. since Ben took the reins:

Feb ’06 – April ’11

Items in a Typical Budget

% Change

Food and Beverages

16.54%

Water and sewer and trash collection services

31.88%

Rent of primary residence

13.82%

Housing

8.68%

Fuels and Utilities

11.93%

Apparel

4.83%

Medical Care

20.11%

Gasoline (all types)

65.12%

Transportation

23.36%

Tuition, other school fees, and childcare

29.28%

Recreation

2.87%

 ..  The standard unemployment rate most often used by the Fed is currently at 9.1%, up 90% since Bernanke started.  The more inclusive (realistic) U6 number stands at 15.8%, up 75% in the same period.  The Civilian Participation Rate has declined 2.87% to 64.2%.

This is the lowest level the U.S. has seen since March, 1984.  The decline amounts to 8,946,844 fewer Americans in the labor force.  Had they not dropped out because of a lack of jobs, the “official” unemployment rate would be significantly higher.  While we can debate the meaning of the term maximum employment, it is clear that the jobs data has deteriorated considerably since Bernanke took the reins at the Fed.  ..

In conclusion, it is evident that Ben Bernanke is failing his mandates.  We believe it must come down to one of the following reasons:

1.       Bernanke does not know how to achieve his mandates;

2.       The policy tools employed don’t work;

3.       He does not have the ability to implement policies that would work;

4.       He is not trying to achieve his mandates;

5.       He has goals other than his legal mandates;

6.       He does not look at the data, and believes he is succeeding.

Why Is It Necessary For The Federal Government To Turn The United States Into A Prison Camp?

http://albertpeia.com/usprisoncamp.htm

{ I really must say that this is a tough one because the vast majority of americans are inherently criminal, with the highest crime rates in the world among the so-called ‘civilized’ nations (you can’t count the niggers of sub-saharan africa as civilized, and there’s no question but that the niggers have disproportionately skewed the american crime rates, particularly violent crimes, higher); including, from my direct observation and experience, that within all three branches of the u.s. government. Indeed, the (should be prison) inmates are running this asylum called america. The reality is that there are so many americans that are not in jail who should be in jail, it’s difficult to avoid these harsh third world measures in what has essentially become a third world nation overrun by the most sordid, despicable criminals one can imagine. They must really prosecute the biggest criminals including the oligarchs as, ie., the huge frauds on wall street, etc., and ‘bury’ the violent repeat offenders, etc., without exception. The problem with america is not the terrorist threat from without, but rather the plethora of inherently criminal americans within. Moreover, the corruption is pervasive and systemic. Unfortunately, crime pays in america and pays well; and, God help you if you try to live within the law and get in their way or potentially cost them money or some of their illegal business because no one else will. There’s criminal control at all levels of american society. That’s the problem; with the relatively few non-criminally inclined, criminal by complicity inasmuch as americans are for the most part gutless cowards who go along to get along along with a million other excuses, not the least of which is ‘the price was right’. That’s reality! That said, it’s the ‘for or agin’ me primitive mentality that pervades the u.s. government, ‘thought police’, arbitrary powers of detainment, abrogation of first admendment rights, internet intrusion/censorship, arbitrary enforcement of the law, etc., that is and I find particularly appalling, counter-productive, and regressive. There is an element of projection, given some of the evil things the government has done abroad; blowback being not entirely out of the realm of possibility which ultimately is the sad consequence of the worst of human nature which is invariably inclined to go too far in the worst way. The sad fact is that as with any banana republic, the governmental powers that be go to whatever nefarious lengths necessary (control by whatever means, at some level) to unreasonably maintain their access to undeserved power, money, resources, luxuries, etc.,  invariably to the detriment of the vast majority as is so here in america today. There are very few positive things that can be said of america today. I, for one, cannot think of any at all!   [  ‘america, love it or leave it’? Love it?

I think we may be heading for an even weaker economy this year than people expect." The righteous REIT ruler went on to note that it is not just the US but Europe (ridiculously high unemployment rates) where he analogizes (rather picturesquely) that it reminds him of "the man who jumps off a 25-story building and as he's hurtling by the sixth floor he says 'don't worry, nothing has happened yet'."

NBER's Martin Feldstein Bashes The Deplorable US Economy, Says Bernanke Has Engineered Another Stock Bubble

That the market is merely yet another transitory sugar high bubble creation of the Chairsatan and his central planning colleagues in various marble buildings around the world is no surprising to anyone, at least not anyone who maintains a pretense of objectivity, is not desperate to sell a weekly newsletter, and has a frontal lobe. What however is not only surprising, but outright shocking, is that such embedded members of the aristocratic status quo elite as Martin Feldstein - a professor of economics at that bastion of Keynesianism Harvard as well as president emeritus of the NBER - the folks who tell us when recessions start and end, are starting to get it. To wit: "The economy is slow and weak. We are not doing very well. The economy is just coming along at a snail's pace. The first quarter numbers that we just got last week were not very good at all" and warns "if we are going to see that jump in taxes, that is going to push the economy next year into a serious recession" but the punchline: "The stock market is, I think, responding to the Fed. I think the real danger is that this is a bubble in the stock market created by low long-term interest rates that the Fed has engineered....The danger is, like all bubbles, they burst at some point" Well, uh... if it is now common knowledge that everything is manipulated, and that the economy is collapsing, and would be outright imploding if it weren't for the Fed's goosing of the stock market, does that mean it is time for Zero Hedge to hang up our hat?

Frontline On Financial FraudThe Financial Crisis Never Ended’

In one of the most complete documentaries undertaken on the financial crisis, PBS Frontline's "Money, Power, & Wall Street" series stretches from the origins of the credit derivative business with a bikini-clad pool-side Blythe Masters and her JPMorgan colleagues to the scary (but absolutely true) fact that the financial crisis never ended. The four-part series (of which we present the first two below) continues tonight at 730ET and the entire set of 20 in-depth interviews with the various players (from Sheila Bair to Rodgin Cohen with a smattering of Jared Bernstein and Dick Fisher in between)  can be found here. A must-watch series from beginning to end to get a grasp of how we got here (despite what Chairman Greenspan told us all this morning), where exactly we are now (in spite of today's FTMFW ISM print), and what we can expect in the next few years.

Guest Post: Does Believing In The "Recovery" Make It Real? [ Indeed it does not; which should be obvious to all, but is not. Most important is the ZeroHedge.com reference to the so-called ‘pol-powers that be’ as sociopaths who have done great damage, which is undeniably true! ] Does believing in the "recovery" make it real? The propaganda policies of the Federal Reserve and the Federal government are based on the hope that you'll answer "yes." The entire "recovery" is founded on the idea that if the Fed and Federal agencies can persuade the citizenry that down is up then people will hurry into their friendly "too big to fail" bank and borrow scads of money to bid up housing, buy new vehicles, and generally spend money they don't have in the delusional belief that inflation is low, wages are rising and the economy is growing.... Data is now massaged for political expediency, failure is spun into success, and consequences are shoved remorselessly onto the future generations. The entire policy of the Federal Reserve and the Federal government boils down to pushing propaganda in the hopes we'll all swallow the con and believe that down is now up and our "leadership" is a swell bunch of guys and gals instead of sociopaths who will say anything to evade the consequences of their actions and policy choices. , Europe's "Dead Bank Walking" List And An ETA Until The Next Contagion Peak

Rosenberg Takes On The Student Loan Bubble, And The 1937-38 Collape; Summarizes The Big Picture

Few have been as steadfast in their correct call that the US economy sugar high of the first quarter was nothing but a liquidity-driven, hot weather-facilitated uptick in the economy, which has now ended with a thud, as seen by the recent epic collapse in all high-frequency economic indicators, which have not translated into a market crash simply because the market is absolutely convinced that the worse things get, the more likely the Fed is to come in with another round of nominal value dilution. Perhaps: it is unclear if the Fed will risk a spike in inflation in Q2 especially since as one of the respondents in today's Chicago PMI warned very prudently that Chinese inflation is about to hit America in the next 60 days. That said, here are some of today's must read observations on where we stand currently, on why 1937-38 may be the next imminent calendar period deja vu, and most importantly, the fact that Rosie now too has realized that the next credit bubble is student debt as we have been warning since last summer.

“Bin Laden” Heroes Probably Murderered to Keep Them Quiet  ... Gordon Duff Veterans Today

FLASHBACK: Eyewitness to OBL Raid Saw Helicopter Explode (TRANSCRIPT) [ As indicated on this albertpeia.com website, I didn’t buy the administration’s desperate and politically opportunist Osama event and still don’t buy it; and further, I believe this! ]Veterans Today | TRANSCRIPT of critical interview with Pakistani eyewitness to Bin Laden raid. Is this the key to SEAL Team 6′s demise?

“Bin Laden” Heroes Probably Murderered to Keep Them Quiet  Gordon Duff  Veterans Today August 7, 2011 | Some Possibly Killed in Abbottabad Helicopter Crash Months Before. [ As indicated on this albertpeia.com website, I didn’t buy the administration’s desperate and politically opportunist Osama event and still don’t buy it; and further, I believe this! ] Today 31 NATO troops, 20 of them Navy Seals from the Osama bin Laden operation died in what is reported as a helicopter crash in Afghanistan.

‘The chance of this story being true is almost nil. The chances of this being a staged coverup is over 80%. We believe these people were murdered to silence them. This is why.

We have solid information on two areas:

1. Osama bin Laden died in 2001 as an active CIA employee and his body was recovered in Afghanistan and taken to “the sand box.” We were told it was frozen. We have so much verification from this, CIA, ISI, US military and top officials. I have a direct confirmation from Bin Laden’s CIA handler who I grilled mercilessly on this.

2. The Abbottabad operation involved numerous American deaths, witnessed, bodies all over, a helicopter crash. (suppressed translated TV interview below) These bodies were recovered by land vehicle from Islamabad and there was NO “successful” bin Laden operation of any kind. There was and has been a CIA safe house in Abbotabad where terror suspects were stored for years.

This gave the US several areas of severe vulnerability. Generally, Navy Seals are the best people in the world at keeping their mouths shut, these are real team players, as the term “Seal Team” belies.

We at VT were informed that the bin Laden operation was staged at this time, a theatrical farce, to cover the exit of Secretary Gates, the move by former CIA Director Leon Panetta into the DOD as Secretary of Defense and to stem any heroic claims by new CIA Director Petraeus of killing the long dead Osama bin Laden, the long frozen CIA operative.

Petraeus is a possible presidential contender and had to be denied this “gift from heaven,” a fast track to the oval office for sure.

Again, I remind you, I went over specific meetings on bin Laden with his handlers, getting every last detail. I have watched what has gone on, the continuing need to vilify a long dead top CIA operative to provide residual cover for the Bush administration…

The reason? Bush and his cronies are all facing charges of war crimes, not just in minor jurisdictions but heading for the ICC, putting them on the dock with Gaddafi ( a far less harmful character).

25 Horrible Statistics About The U.S. Economy That Barack Obama Does Not Want You To Know
http://albertpeia.com/25horriblestatsaboutuseconomyobamahides.htm
{ Actually, worse than self-delusion, it’s actually overtly fraudulent in their election year desperation what the obama administration et als are doing to cover up their unequivocal incompetence and failure! }

’The human capacity for self-delusion truly is remarkable.  Most people out there end up believing exactly what they want to believe even when the truth is staring them right in the face.  Take the U.S. economy for example.  Barack Obama wants to believe that his policies have worked and that the U.S. economy is improving.  So that is what he is telling the American people.  The mainstream media wants to believe that Barack Obama is a good president and that his policies make sense and so they are reporting that we are experiencing an economic recovery.  A very large segment of the U.S. population still fully supports Barack Obama and they want to believe that the economy is getting better so they are buying the propaganda that the mainstream media is feeding them.  But is the U.S. economy really improving?  The truth is that it is not.  The rate of employment among working age Americans is exactly where it was two years ago and household incomes have actually gone down while Obama has been president.  Home ownership levels and home prices continue to decline.  Meanwhile, food and gasoline continue to become even more expensive.  The percentage of Americans that are dependent on the government is at an all-time record high and the U.S. national debt has risen by more than 5 trillion dollars under Obama.  We simply have not seen the type of economic recovery that we have seen after every other economic recession since World War II. The horrible statistics about the U.S. economy that you are about to read are not talked about much by the mainstream media.  They would rather be "positive" and "upbeat" about the direction that things are headed. But lying to the American people is not going to help them.  If you are speeding in a car toward a 500 foot cliff, you don't need someone to cheer you on.  Instead, you need someone to slam on the brakes. The cold, hard reality of the matter is that the U.S. economy is in far worse shape than it was four or five years ago. We have never come close to recovering from the last recession and another one will be here soon. The following are 25 horrible statistics about the U.S. economy that Barack Obama does not want you to know.... 1-25

America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. http://albertpeia.com/anddebtslaveryforall.htm ]

The Social Security Administration made an alarming announcement recently that they will exhaust their funding capability by 2033 which was several years earlier than originally projected. As millions of baby boomers approach retirement more strain is put on the fabric of the Social Security system.  The exact timing of this crunch is less important than its inevitability.  The problem that Social Security has is "real" employment.  I say "real" employment simply to sidestep the ongoing arguments about the validity of government employment survey's from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Federal Government receives income from the Social Security "contribution" from employee's paychecks. Social security "contributions" have decreased sharply by almost $70 billion from its peak. This is due to two factors.  The first is that the number of "real" employees, while growing, is in lower income producing and temporary jobs. The second factor is that a larger share of personal incomes is made up of government benefits which does not affect social security contributions. The entire social support framework faces an inevitable conclusion and no amount of wishful thinking will change that.

Sargent: Obama struggling to tell economic story? (Washington Post) [ Why the struggle? Because there is no story to tell except that of abject failure! Don’t forget, the promises wobama made were invariably broken, his actions invariably belied his words; he didn’t do what he said he’d do which we now know from his failure he should have done. Essentially continuing the failed policies of dumbya bush with even more reckless spending on top of those misguided policies, since obama took office, the federal government’s debt has increased by $5,027,761,476,484.56.  – That’s more than all the Presidents since President Eisenhower combined.  This obfuscating failure and incompetence of wobama the b for b***s*** was stated another way just this past day; viz., obama has increased the deficit (now insurmountable) by more than all the presidents of the nation through clinton combined! Moreover, his pandering to the blacks (a sure thing regardless, because he’s black) has been blatant and outrageous and shows where his priorities for this welfare state now lie.

Bill Gross On Europe's Dysfunction And US Double-Dips

PIMCO's Bill Gross spent a longer-than-soundbite period discussing QE3, the chance of a US double-dip, and Europe's ongoing dysfunction with Trish Regan on Bloomberg Television this afternoon. Given more than his typically limited-to-ten-second thoughts some other media outlets appear to prefer, the old-new-normal-bond-king believes the Fed will resist another round of quantitative easing in the short-term but "if unemployment begins to rise for two-to-three months then QE3 is back on". Noting that investors should focus on nominal GDP growth tomorrow, he goes on to dismiss the idea that the US can decouple from a troubled Europe pointing the political dysfunction between the Germans and the rest as greater than the polarity between Democrats and Republicans here at home. Preferring to play a slightly levered long bet on low rates holding for a longer-period, he like MBS (as we have discussed in the past) but does not see the 10Y yield dropping precipitously from here though he does echo our thoughts entirely in his view of the 'flow' being more critical than the 'stock' when it comes to the Fed's balance sheet and hence the June end-of-Twist may be a volatile period for all asset classes.

‘At least one analyst is bucking the trend of gushing over Apple. Forrester Research chief executive George Colony laid out his case in a blog post Wednesday for why he thinks the company will start looking like just another tech companies within the next four years unless it finds another "special, magical" leader like Steve Jobs.

Colony's position couldn't be more contrarian. Apple just reported record March quarter profits while selling tens of millions of its iPhones, iPads, and Mac computers. In the past few months, other analysts have been jockeying to tout Apple's share price, currently at just over $600 per share, for gains past the $800, $900, and even $1,000 threshold.

But if Apple's riding high now, that's not going to last, according to Colony.

"Apple will decline in the post Steve Jobs era," he writes, explaining that Apple under Jobs fit the bill as a "charismatic organization ... headed by people with the 'gift of grace'." Succession in such an organization is particularly difficult because while bureaucratic and traditional organizations have processes and rituals to elevate new leadership, "[i]n charismatic organizations, the magical leader must be succeeded by another charismatic—the emotional connection of employees and (in the case of Apple) customers demands it."

Colony quotes liberally from Max Weber's The Theory of Social and Economic Organization and Adam Lashinky's Inside Apple to build his case that Apple will "coast" over the next 24 to 48 months and "then decelerate."

What about the processes Jobs himself put in place at Apple to ensure that his vision and management style would endure at the company after he was gone? Apple University and other company initiatives fostered by Jobs won't do the trick, Colony claims, quoting Weber: "Charisma can only be awakened and tested, it cannot be learned or taught."

Colony argues that Jobs' successor, Tim Cook, has a "legal/bureaucratic approach" to leading Apple that "will prove to be a mismatch for an organization that feeds off the gift of grace." Instead of Cook, the company should turn to Jonathan Ive or Scott Forstall to be CEO, the analyst writes.

If Apple doesn't get another magical charismatic leader, Colony concludes, it risks turning into Sony after Akio Morita or Polaroid post-Edwin Land—a company that goes from great to merely good in a few short years./

Just As Predicted, Initial Claims Miss Huge, Yet Magically Improve Recall what we said less than an hour ago: "what will most likely happen is a print in the mid to upper 380,000s, while last week's number will be revised to a 390K+ print, allowing the media to once again declare that the number was an improvement week over week. In other words, SSDD." SSDD it is: last week's 386K number was revised to 389K, meaning the massive miss relative to expectations of 370K last week just got even worse. This is the 10th week in a row of misses to the weaker side and the 16th of the last 18. And while this week's miss was whopping as usual, with expectations of 375K being soundly missed after the print came at 388K on its way back to 400K, the media can sleep soundly because the absolute lack of BLS propaganda means that the sequential progression is one of, you got it, improvement. In other words here is what the headlines in the Mainstream Media will be: "Initial claims improve over prior week." In fact here it is from Bloomberg: "U.S. Initial Jobless Claims Fell 1,000 to 388,000 Last Week." ..No propaganda. No data fudging. No manipulation at all.

Guest Post: Charles Krauthammer Mourns Over NASA Cuts, I Celebrate

Leading neoconservative (read “closet Trotskyite“) commentator Charles Krauthammer’s latest Washington Post editorial pays homage to the glory days of NASA and the retirement of the space shuttle Discovery.  Titled “Farewell, the New Frontier,” the piece evokes mental images of Uncle Sam losing his international prestige as President Obama scales down NASA’s space exploration endeavors. Contrary to Krauthammer, NASA has never represented America’s collective vision of frontier exploration.  It has been just another bureaucratic black hole for Washington to throw dollars at in hopes of buying reelection. Because one of the main tenets of economics is considering the unseen, then it can be assumed that space exploration would very well be advanced far beyond what we see today if it was left completely out of the hands of the state.  If Krauthammer truly wished the human race capable of traveling into the new frontier of the stars, he would welcome NASA cuts rather than lament. How ironic then is today's news of Planetary Resources as investor and avowed anarchist Doug Casey thoughtfully observes on the inefficiency of NASA: "We should have colonies on the moon by now, and more: We should be mining the asteroids and developing real estate on Mars."

{ A bit much, to be sure (Casey) … my own position on this same topic regarding the same WP Editorial:

Krauthammer: Farewell, the New Frontier (Washington Post) [ I’m frankly a bit surprised, Mr. Krauthammer. I personally have long since stopped being disappointed; one builds up a tolerance to reality after a time. Pity? The only pity rationally should be the new frontier of rational, civilized behavior on terra ferma, aka earth. Not that it matters mind you, given the decades at best constraint. Then, rationality counting, there’s those other more earthy constraints called debits and credits, assets and liabilities, revenues and spending, etc.; and, as is particularly relevant here, the reality that the nation, as is the world generally as a hole, excuse me, whole, is defacto bankrupt! America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’).

If I could be disappointed, Mr. Krauthammer, it would be because you uncharacteristically sound like a pubescent schoolchild! The ‘space program(s)’ were boondoggles, plain and simple.

43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock  Zero Hedge
October 17, 2011
By now everyone has had a chance to play with the US debt clock. But what about its global cousin? Courtesy of The Economist, we now have a convenient way to track the hundreds of millions in dollars added each and every hour by the global governments who see to spur global deleveraging by, you guessed it, adding more debt. Yes, in the process the world’s sovereigns are transferring default risk away from global corporations to sovereigns, but few in the #OWS crowd appear to have yet figured out this rather disturbing and very insidious usurpation of sovereignty by the global corporatocracy, so said risk and leverage transfer will continue until such time as any and all paper backed by these insolvent corporate shells (f/k/a countries) is completely worthless. Regardless, one should not forget that like in the sandalone case, the “debt clock” below only tracks on balance sheet debt. Should one add the NPV of all “welfare state” obligations (pensions, retirement, healthcare), the number will be well over quarter of a quadrillion dollars. Have fun funding that, never mind paying it off… http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock

But I, and I’m sure all know that ‘u.s. politics are spaced’. Flux? One could only hope.

Indeed, post-Eisenhower, and certainly post-Kennedy-assassination / coup d’etat, NASA was all military / military industrial complex (moreover, someone knowledgeable about such matters said essentially that in explaining to my surprise the transition to the shuttle program it was said there was greater military application in same). In any event, Russia’s been doing quite a bit of ‘heavy lifting’ vis-ŕ-vis the space station, but not inordinately so. All I can say with certainty is that the universe beyond this solar system is forever protected / insulated. The fact is, they never set foot on the moon; and, in light of the pervasive corruption in and defacto bankruptcy of the nation, their perpetual wars toward making a hell on earth militate against anything but trying to do even just a little bit better (for a start), terrestrially.   NASA wants mission to bring Martian rocks to Earth (AP) Why?

Why Is It Necessary For The Federal Government To Turn The United States Into A Prison Camp?

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com

 

http://albertpeia.com/usprisoncamp.htm

{ I really must say that this is a tough one because the vast majority of americans are inherently criminal, with the highest crime rates in the world among the so-called ‘civilized’ nations (you can’t count the blacks of sub-saharan africa as civilized, and there’s no question but that the blacks have disproportionately skewed the american crime rates, particularly violent crimes, higher); including, from my direct observation and experience, that within all three branches of the u.s. government. Indeed, the (should be prison) inmates are running this asylum called america. The reality is that there are so many americans that are not in jail who should be in jail, it’s difficult to avoid these harsh third world measures in what has essentially become a third world nation overrun by the most sordid, despicable criminals one can imagine. They must really prosecute the biggest criminals including the oligarchs as, ie., the huge frauds on wall street, etc., and ‘bury’ the violent repeat offenders, etc., without exception. The problem with america is not the terrorist threat from without, but rather the plethora of inherently criminal americans within. Moreover, the corruption is pervasive and systemic. Unfortunately, crime pays in america and pays well; and, God help you if you try to live within the law and get in their way or potentially cost them money or some of their illegal business because no one else will. There’s criminal control at all levels of american society. That’s the problem; with the relatively few non-criminally inclined, criminal by complicity inasmuch as americans are for the most part gutless cowards who go along to get along along with a million other excuses, not the least of which is ‘the price was right’. That’s reality! That said, it’s the ‘for or agin’ me primitive mentality that pervades the u.s. government, ‘thought police’, arbitrary powers of detainment, abrogation of first admendment rights, internet intrusion/censorship, arbitrary enforcement of the law, etc., that is and I find particularly appalling, counter-productive, and regressive. There is an element of projection, given some of the evil things the government has done abroad; blowback being not entirely out of the realm of possibility which ultimately is the sad consequence of the worst of human nature which is invariably inclined to go too far in the worst way. The sad fact is that as with any banana republic, the governmental powers that be go to whatever nefarious lengths necessary (control by whatever means, at some level) to unreasonably maintain their access to undeserved power, money, resources, luxuries, etc.,  invariably to the detriment of the vast majority as is so here in america today.

How Liberty Was Lost

Paul Craig Roberts | When did things begin going wrong in America?

http://albertpeia.com/howlibertywaslost.htm

‘When did things begin going wrong in America?

“From the beginning,” answer some. English colonists, themselves under the thumb of a king, exterminated American Indians and stole their lands, as did late 18th and 19th century Americans. Over the course of three centuries the native inhabitants of America were dispossessed, just as Israelis have been driving Palestinians off their lands since 1948.

Demonization always plays a role. The Indians were savages and the Palestinians are terrorists. Any country that can control the explanation can get away with evil.

I agree that there is a lot of evil in every country and civilization. In the struggle between good and evil, religion has at times been on the side of evil. However, the notion of moral progress cannot so easily be thrown out…’

China’s ‘princelings’ turn privilege into influence-peddling profit  The role of a potent network of “red nobility” has become a touchy issue ahead of Communist Party’s fall congress expected to elevate Xi Jinping to power. ‘Greed trumps all ideologies’ (Washington Post) [ I’m a bit surprised that this article appeared on the front page giving the impression that american-styled corruption / pay-to-play is rampant in China. Quite the opposite is true where some guilty of even minor acts of corruption (ie., bribery, etc.) are literally executed ‘in short order’. While I’m realistically no fan of communism where ‘everyone’s equal but some more equal than others’, the fact is that whatever you want to call it, america’s system has become so pervasively corrupt, so bankrupt that it should in no way be somehow ‘relatively okay’ by specious implication as herein owing to some ‘purportedly universal trait’  as greed. The only ideologies notably visible in practice and reality in america are thievery, fraud, bribery, war crimes, murder, illegal drug distribution, etc.; and of course, that’s not ideology at all, but rather, typical americana as one would expect from any banana republic.

Europe crisis back into danger zone Just as in the U.S., the question of austerity vs. growth has emerged as a major election-year debate. (Washington Post) [ Dangerzone indeed! Spain is Greece… Only Bigger and WorseApril 20, 2012 By gpc1981   http://gainspainscapital.com Spain on the Precipice http://albertpeia.com/spainontheprecipice.htm  ‘On the Surface, Spain’s debt woes have many things in common with those of Greece:1)Bad age demographics 2)A toxic bank system  However, you’ll note that as we tackle each of these, Spain is in fact in far worse fiscal shape than Greece.Currently there is one person of non-working age (65 or older) for every four people of working age (15-64) in Spain.  This is expected to worsen to one person of non-working age for every three people of working age by 2025 and an astounding more than one person of non-working age for every two people of working age by 2040.These demographics alone set Spain up for a sovereign debt Crisis. According toJagadeesh Gohkale of the Cato Institute Spain would need to have 250% of its GDP sitting in a bank account collecting interest forever in order to meet its unfunded liabilities without raising taxes or cutting government outlays.That, in of itself, is bad news for Spain. But Spain’s banking system are what really set it apart. Let’s consider the following facts about Spain’s banking system: *Total Spanish banking loans are equal to 170% of Spanish GDP. *Troubled loans at Spanish Banks just hit an 18-year high of over 8%. *Spanish Banks are drawing a record €316.3 billion from the ECB (up from €169.2 billion in February). However, even these don’t paint the real picture. Thanks to a property bubble that dwarfed the US in relative terms, Spain’s economy and corporate arena are now literally saturated with debt. Consider the following: *Spanish non-financial corporations’ gross debts outstanding are equal to 196% of Spain’s GDP (this is worse than that of Greece, Portugal, even Japan) *Spanish non-financial corporations sport debt to equity ratios of 152% (only Greece and Japan are worse here) *Spanish household debt is equal to 90% of the country’s GDP: much higher than the EU average of 70% and roughly inline with that of the US which has been running a credit bubble for 30+ years. In simple terms, Spain is like Greece, only bigger and worse…’ , Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com OPTIONS EXPIRATION DISTORTIONS 4-20-13 ‘Beating much lower expectations can lead to a short squeeze and this was evident the past few days with some financials and Friday with Microsoft (MSFT) which beat earnings estimates by 3 cents. Remember, MSFT is one of the largest hedge fund holdings so pumping it higher seems easily job one. MSFT was up nearly 5% after the report which may strike some as an outsized gain. But the spin was the company reported good gains from the corporate sector meaning CFOs are loosening their purse strings. How long can you run XP anyway? The boys in the options pits must be chasing down options in MSFT and those silly bets made on Apple (AAPL) calls.The other big news on the day was that the IMF (mostly controlled by U.S. taxpayers) will pony-up another $400 billion in freshly minted dollars to rescue the euro zone once again. Even the Bank of Japan admitted this gesture (thank you America!) will only buy some time if austerity and reforms aren’t implemented. And, right on cue, we have French elections on deck this weekend with polls indicating Sarkozy is toast. This makes his deals with Merkel & Co toast as well. So with the socialists back in control of Europe’s second largest economy don’t expect much in the way of austerity and reform. That’s not on any socialist’s agenda. Also the IMF has secured some “pledges” from BRIC countries for some contributions. Brazil wants a larger role without necessarily a larger commitment. Perhaps Argentina’s Fernandez de Kirchner will pledge the minority balance of Spain’s YPF she hasn’t seized yet. Anyway, the bottom line for bulls is that the eurozone is fixed again if only for the trading day and week.The dollar (UUP) fell sharply (more IMF dollars make them cheaper?) gold (GLD) did little but other commodities (DBC, USO & JJC) with the weakening dollar were higher. All this brings us to options expiration which is day most investors should just take off. Most of what takes place reminds me of packs of wolves chasing down strike prices to exercise them to the disadvantage of the poor victims.

Democracy Now has the former National Security Agency technical director whistleblower's first TV interview in which he discusses the NSA's massive power to spy on Americans and why the FBI raided his home. Since retiring from the NSA in 2001, he has warned that the NSA’s data-mining program has become so vast that it could "create an Orwellian state." Today marks the first time Binney has spoken on national TV about NSA surveillance. Starting with his pre-9-11 identification of the world-wide-web as a voluminous problem since the NSA was 'falling behind the rate-of-change', his success in creating a system (codenamed Thin-Thread) for 'grabbing' all the data and the critical 'lawful' anonymization of that data (according to mandate at the time) which as soon as 9-11 occurred went out of the window as all domestic and foreign communications was now stored (starting with AT&T's forking over their data). This direct violation of the constitutional rights of everybody in the country was why Binney decided he could not stay (leaving one month after 9-11) along with the violation of almost every privacy and intelligence act as near-bottomless databases store all forms of communication collected by the agency, including private emails, cell phone calls, Google searches and other personal data…’ , NASDAPPL Crumbles Amid Sideways Volatile Week , Guest Post: Presenting The US Government’s Infographic Of Its Own Insolvency  http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user3303/imageroot/2012/04/20120420_info1.png  , Does The I In IMF Stand For Idiot? , Guest Post: The Market's Getting A Wedgie , FoodStamp Nation First and foremost, there are 46.5 million Americans in the program as of the most recent information available (January 2012), comprising 22.2 million households.  That’s 15% of the entire population, and just over 20% of all households.  Moreover, despite the end of the official “Great Recession” in June 2009, over 10 million more Americans have been accepted into the program since that month, and the year-over-year growth rate for the program is still +5%. , Guest Post: Why The Left Misunderstands Income Inequality , Europe Is Now Red For The Year A sea of red is flowing from European equity markets and it seems they are unable to stem the flow as IBEX (the Italian Spanish equity index) nears March 2009 lows (down 18% YTD)…’

The only pity rationally should be the new frontier of rational, civilized behavior on terra ferma, aka earth. Not that it matters mind you, given the decades at best constraint. Then, rationality counting, there’s those other more earthy constraints called debits and credits, assets and liabilities, revenues and spending, etc.; and, as is particularly relevant here, the reality that the nation, as is the world generally as a hole, excuse me, whole, is defacto bankrupt! America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’).

If I could be disappointed, Mr. Krauthammer, it would be because you uncharacteristically sound like a pubescent schoolchild! The ‘space program(s)’ were boondoggles, plain and simple.

43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock  Zero Hedge
October 17, 2011
By now everyone has had a chance to play with the US debt clock. But what about its global cousin? Courtesy of The Economist, we now have a convenient way to track the hundreds of millions in dollars added each and every hour by the global governments who see to spur global deleveraging by, you guessed it, adding more debt. Yes, in the process the world’s sovereigns are transferring default risk away from global corporations to sovereigns, but few in the #OWS crowd appear to have yet figured out this rather disturbing and very insidious usurpation of sovereignty by the global corporatocracy, so said risk and leverage transfer will continue until such time as any and all paper backed by these insolvent corporate shells (f/k/a countries) is completely worthless. Regardless, one should not forget that like in the sandalone case, the “debt clock” below only tracks on balance sheet debt. Should one add the NPV of all “welfare state” obligations (pensions, retirement, healthcare), the number will be well over quarter of a quadrillion dollars. Have fun funding that, never mind paying it off… http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock

Indeed, post-Eisenhower, and certainly post-Kennedy-assassination / coup d’etat, NASA was all military / military industrial complex (moreover, someone knowledgeable about such matters said essentially that in explaining to my surprise the transition to the shuttle program it was said there was greater military application in same). In any event, Russia’s been doing quite a bit of ‘heavy lifting’ vis-ŕ-vis the space station, but not inordinately so. All I can say with certainty is that the universe beyond this solar system is forever protected / insulated. The fact is, they never set foot on the moon; and, in light of the pervasive corruption in and defacto bankruptcy of the nation, their perpetual wars toward making a hell on earth militate against anything but trying to do even just a little bit better (for a start), terrestrially.   NASA wants mission to bring Martian rocks to Earth (AP) Why?

Tom Davis: Centrist Republicans, alive and well (Washington Post) [ Indeed they are; if only as a matter of reality, pragmatism, and necessity in seeing a nation survive as we once knew it. After all, there is absolutely no one who could honestly say that wobama the b for b***s***, who didn’t do what he said he’d do which we now know he should have done as promised, is an abject, utter failure as president.

 

Robinson: Which Mitt will we get?  (Washington Post) [ I think the more important and less speculative question is which con-man obama do we have? Indeed, there is no speculating about the fact that wobama the b for b***s*** is without exception, a completely different obama from that personified by the campaign promises and rhetoric last time around. In fact, except for profligate spending on top of the already unbalanced fiscal approach of dumbya bush to obfuscate his abject failure as president, wobama’s continued dumbya’s failed policies to a ‘t’. Oh sure, you’ll get some of the ‘same old  song’ from wobama with the election drawing nye; nothing of which is even remotely within the possibility of passage, but, as last time around, it sounds good on the campaign trail. If anything, praise Mitt for giving Wobama a heads-up by informing him to ‘start packing’. I thought that was the nice Mitt; and, truth be told, that’s not typical wobama b***s***! Keep in mind, while being fiscally prudent as Governor; though politically contraindicated he was compassionate as he deemed necessary for the benefit of the vast majority in his state which set up this grueling primary campaign in which he has clearly prevailed.  Just the opposite is true of wobama who despite rhetoric and (broken) campaign promises, favored ie., the banksters, military industrial complex, etc..

Will: Protecting true self-government (Washington Post) [ Oh come on Mr. Will. If anyone in america really cared about Constitution, true self-government, meaningful rules of law to protect same, etc., wobama would already have been impeached. http://albertpeia.com/impeachobama.htm ‘...North Carolina Republican Walter Jones’ efforts to bring the administration to account for launching unconstitutional wars without the authorization of Congress. Jones’ recently introduced resolution states that such actions represent “an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor.”

 

The five core reasons for impeachment proceedings to be launched can be summarized as follows;

1) Despite promising otherwise, Barack Obama committed U.S. military resources to overthrow Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi without any kind of congressional authorization whatsoever and without citing any evidence that Libya under Gaddafi was a threat to the security of the United States. Furthermore, Obama brazenly undermined the power of Congress by insisting his authority came from the United Nations Security Council and that Congressional approval was not necessary. “I don’t even have to get to the Constitutional question,” Obama churlishly remarked.

2) On New Years Eve 2011, Obama signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act which includes provisions that permit the abduction and military detention without trial of U.S. citizens. Despite Obama claiming he would not use the provisions to incarcerate U.S. citizens, it was his administration that specifically demanded these powers be included in the final NDAA bill.

3) The passage of the Obamacare bill, under which Americans will be forced to buy health insurance, is clearly anathema to the Constitution. “The individual mandate is unprecedented and exceeds Congress’s power to regulate interstate commerce. If it is allowed to stand, Congress will be able to impose any kind of economic mandate as part of any kind of national regulatory scheme,” writes Ilya Shapiro, a Senior Fellow in Constitutional Studies, Cato Institute.

4) Obama’s role in the economic looting of America since he took office is unprecedented. Specifically, Obama violated the Constitution’s Takings and Due Process Clauses when he bullied the secured creditors of automaker Chrysler into accepting 30 cents on the dollar while politically connected labor unions and preferential others received better deals.

5) Finally, Obama’s use of signing statements shows his desire to continue in the vein of George W. Bush and rule by executive fiat. This is a direct violation of Article II of the Constitution…’

Al Sharpton, power player  Once a pariah, everybody wants to be on his good side these days. (Washington Post) [ Speak for yourself wobama-lover, Mr. Milbank. Power?  More than just a bit of a stretch; but, it is an unequivocal, sure sign as to how far the nation’s fallen. Like wobama, the guy’s a con-man including the latest ‘Into the Hoods’; lest we forget  http://albertpeia.com/tawana.htm  . Then, there’s sharpton fan eric holder, himself a proper candidate for impeachment (Sheriff: Fast and Furious Bigger Scandal Than Watergate   http://www.prisonplanet.com/sheriff-fast-and-furious-bigger-scandal-than-watergate.html  Watson | … calls for Holder to resign ); and, of course, wobama of the same mold ( http://albertpeia.com/impeachobama.htm ‘...North Carolina Republican Walter Jones’ efforts to bring the administration to account for launching unconstitutional wars without the authorization of Congress. Jones’ recently introduced resolution states that such actions represent “an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor.”

The five core reasons for impeachment proceedings to be launched can be summarized as follows:

1) Despite promising otherwise, Barack Obama committed U.S. military resources to overthrow Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi without any kind of congressional authorization whatsoever and without citing any evidence that Libya under Gaddafi was a threat to the security of the United States. Furthermore, Obama brazenly undermined the power of Congress by insisting his authority came from the United Nations Security Council and that Congressional approval was not necessary. “I don’t even have to get to the Constitutional question,” Obama churlishly remarked.

2) On New Years Eve 2011, Obama signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act which includes provisions that permit the abduction and military detention without trial of U.S. citizens. Despite Obama claiming he would not use the provisions to incarcerate U.S. citizens, it was his administration that specifically demanded these powers be included in the final NDAA bill.

3) The passage of the Obamacare bill, under which Americans will be forced to buy health insurance, is clearly anathema to the Constitution. “The individual mandate is unprecedented and exceeds Congress’s power to regulate interstate commerce. If it is allowed to stand, Congress will be able to impose any kind of economic mandate as part of any kind of national regulatory scheme,” writes Ilya Shapiro, a Senior Fellow in Constitutional Studies, Cato Institute.

4) Obama’s role in the economic looting of America since he took office is unprecedented. Specifically, Obama violated the Constitution’s Takings and Due Process Clauses when he bullied the secured creditors of automaker Chrysler into accepting 30 cents on the dollar while politically connected labor unions and preferential others received better deals.

5) Finally, Obama’s use of signing statements shows his desire to continue in the vein of George W. Bush and rule by executive fiat. This is a direct violation of Article II of the Constitution…’ ).

 

 

Parker: Rosen vs. Romney — A faux ‘girl fight’ (Washington Post) [ Faux ‘girl fight’? Hardly! Fully intended as a slight, the unintended consequences are significant! The Plum Line : The Morning Plum...over Hilary Rosen and Ann Romney triggered reams of analysis echoing the GOP spin that this... (WP) [ This is more than just GOP spin although the wobama spinmeisters would like you to believe otherwise. It was a typical cheap shot meant to draw contrasts with such as hillary clinton, michelle obama (see infra) which is specious and foolhardy since on close inspection and analysis, such scrutiny favors the honorable Ann Romney as it does hardworking housewives, mothers everywhere. To coin a new phrase: ‘Housewife/Mother, the Oldest HONORABLE Profession in the World’! Though too early to congratulate the new President (as a matter of courtesy to Ron Paul who is starting to look foolish, even leading some to wonder about the soundness of his positions owing to his age), I disagree that this will be a close election which I believe will be a blowout. Why? Because this is truly an existential moment for other than wobama’s ‘black voting (for b.o. no matter what) block’ and the nation as we once knew it and as well because of those legal / factual bases upon which the sound call for wobama’s impeachment is predicated,  http://albertpeia.com/impeachobama.htm ; in addition to the reality that wobama’s failed miserably having been given the chance to do what he said he would do but didn’t, which if he did do would have been the right course as we well now know!

Obamas’ 2011 tax returns: $790K in earnings, $162K in federal income tax The earnings represent a big drop from the $1.7 million that the first family reported in 2010. (Washington Post) [ So much for the ‘man of the people’, everyone else out of touch with the middle class / poor. The wobama’s are just a pair of lying, jive-talking, cons who’ve played the nation and got to go. Pundit says Ann Romney ‘never worked a day in her life.’ She disagrees. Republican front-runner’s wife opens Twitter account to respond to Democratic pundit’s remarks.  (Washington Post) [ I also disagree! Drudgereport: 'SHE HAS NEVER WORKED A DAY IN HER LIFE'  So what! Five boys raised properly, housewife to a successful husband, I’d call that a full-time job to be praised and emulated! I’d also say her composure reveals an individual secure enough to do what was best, optimal for her family. It certainly had a salutary effect on Mitt Romney’s earning capacity! Would it have been preferable for her to have been a working wife as michelle obama to con-man, sometime gayster obama who was about to be disbarred when she surrendered her law license; or, hilarious hillary clinton who conducted séances on the roof of the whitehouse purportedly with Eleanor Roosevelt? I think Ann Romney will be a great first lady who won’t as  moochell obama try to squeeze out every penny of tax-payer funding she can as has moochell in ie., her (their) over-traveled/vacationed position(s).

David Icke,  Barack Obama: The Naked Emperor Shocking but true revelations from David Icke|  infra ‘...Obama is just more of the same, a big smile with strings attached, and controlled completely by those that chose him, trained him, sold him and provided his record funding, kept his many skeletons under wraps, like the gay sex and crack cocaine .. Larry Sinclair (from affidavit: 1. Who is Ron Allen that claims to be with your Presidential camp, who is alleged to claim that someone claiming to represent me called asking for $100,000, to keep me from coming forward about our (Obama and I) November 1999 encounter of sex and cocaine use?), ... Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself .., and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. His financial advisors are straight from the Wall Street 'A' list, including Paul Adolph Volker (Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group), the head of the Federal Reserve from 1979 to 1987 and Illuminati to his fingertips. Obama has made him head of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which is dominated by insiders, including its staff director and chief economist, Austan Goolsbee, a close Obama associate from the University of Chicago. Goolsbee is an initiate of the infamous Illuminati Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, which also includes Boy and Father Bush. It was Goolsbee who told the Canadian government not to worry about Obama's attacks on the economic effects of free trade agreements because his words were just to win votes in the election campaign. Another Wall Street insider, the Zionist Timothy Geithner (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations), was appointed by Obama to be his Treasury Secretary. Geithner was the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the most powerful in the private Federal Reserve cartel that masquerades as America's central bank, and he is a former employee of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the appalling Kissinger Associates. Obama's Treasury team locks into the inner circle around the Zionist Robert Rubin, the Director and Senior Counselor of Citigroup, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and economic advisor to Obama. Rubin, a member of the Illuminati Bilderberg Group, was the man behind Citigroup's strategy of expanding its risk in debt markets which forced it to be rescued by taxpayers' money. The very people who caused the financial crisis are being appointed by Obama to decide how to respond to it (more taxpayers' money for them and their friends)’

Geeh, if only that was a question without an obvious answer, defacto bankrupt america/eu/west might be forgiven. But alas, this ‘tiny little’ malevolent thing at roughly 3% GDP involving hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars at a pop called the ‘military industrial complex’, warned against by the great but substantially underrated President General Eisenhower, is hardly hidden from view.

More Americans expect health-care ruling to be political Half of the public expects the Supreme Court justices to rule mainly based on their “partisan political views,” a Post-ABC News poll reveals.  ‘A corrupt political system’ (Washington Post) [ Well, here’s a poll that even mainstream media jokemeister abc with sidekick the Post can do without ‘cherry-picking’ the polled to come up with the clear, ineluctable, correct result. Yeah, the american political system is corrupt. But, not just the political system  ( http://albertpeia.com/stansberrycorruptiondeclineofamerica.htm ); rather, the entire american system, all three branches of government, executive, legislative, and judicial are unequivocally corrupt (throw in as well here, so-called private enterprise, ie., the bailed out huge frauds on wall street, military industrial complex, illegal drug trade by the government, etc.). That’s certainly consistent with my direct experience and I’d swear to it on a Bible. http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm  

 

America’s shine is wearing off I know why we are falling into a cataclysm of debt and can’t get out. (WP) [ Ah, yes. The Puritans. Of noble purpose, religious freedom, freedom generally did they come to these shores. A rare exception to the influx of immigrants to this young nation who turned out to be more a virus to the indigenous peoples of this land than what could have been expected from those of noble calling. Indeed, in evolutionary terms, it’s doubtful that those so positioned abroad would have represented a positive addition to the gene pool which, borrowing from an insurance term, viz., adverse selection, springs forth the notion of inevitability to the genocide of the indigenous populations while guaranteeing the decline we see throughout this foundering nation. The effects of these negative predispositions toward inherent criminality is certainly being felt globally as well as domestically and has little to recommend it. My own direct experience with the region(s) (particularly new jersey, new york, virginia, connecticut, california) carves out no exception for the prevalence of the worst of human nature; which is now collectively and pervasively americana.  Though having but 5% of the world’s population, the u.s. has 76% of the world’s serial killers,          http://www.albertpeia.com/realifeamericaserialkillers.mpg     bankrupt america also spends more on military than all the nations of the world combined... fed employees / contractors, cia, all 3 branches of u.s. gov’t, etc., are included in this evolved american trait of inherent criminality  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm        Cases against Wall Street lag despite Holder’s vows to target financial fraud  WP Obama has promised to hold Wall Street accountable for the meltdown.    America Is a Failed State Because It Won’t Prosecute Financial Crime  Washington’s Blog / the grim economic reality   [  http://albertpeia.com/grimreality.htm

Sargent: Will Romney be allowed to change? (Washington Post) [ What does it matter and why the speculation since from the moment he was sworn to present there’s been an astounding metamorphosis of wobama into the lying, jive-talking weasel-worm he’s proven to be. Whatever Romney is will always exceed what wobama is and purports to be. Wobama’s failed miserably having been given the chance to do what he said he would do but didn’t, which if he did do would have been the right course as we well know now.

 

 

Obama holds key leads over Romney on top issues, personal traits But contest is more competitive when it comes to economy, jobs, according to new Post-ABC News poll. (Washington Post) [ I don’t believe these polls as favor obama for even a second. While it may seem unfair to single out abc inasmuch as any mainstream news disseminator is as unreliable, the fact is that while there are many stupid people in america, there really aren’t that many people who are that stupid. The fact is that the guy they know (‘ devil that you know verses the devil that you don’t ‘) is so bad and without any integrity whatsoever and such a proven  failure, that only the dumbest fool could invite the fool me twice scenario with wobama the b for b***s*** who has broken virtually every campaign promise on which he ran and was elected; and as it has turned out, to the nation’s substantial detriment. Mainstream media is a total joke and a testament to how far the nation has fallen. There’s no downside to Romney because there’s no upside to wobama, the jive-talking black man as he reminds us as he did when he reminded us that that if he had a son, he’d look like that little thief/would have been future criminal trayvon martin. As for the Post, almost everything seems controversial these days and their comment section for the more controversial topics is down/not working/doesn’t post more often than not and I no longer even bother with, waste my time alerting them to the problems. Virtually every criticism of Romney is in the realm of wobama’s been there done that; including the purported cozy relationship with wall street as we all wait for wobama’s promised prosecutions at the highest levels … don’t hold your breath.

Robert Burt: Should God be obeyed? (Washington Post) [ The ‘politically correct’ answer is of course, ‘Of Course’. But, of course, saying so won’t change the fact that they won’t. The grim reality for this planet which boasts a dominant species descended from initially notochords, primitive chordates, and relatively more recently primitive apes, is that at this point, it really no longer matters. Think decades, at best; which, is not a forbearance, but rather, time for tribulation, suffering, ‘payback’, etc.; for example, think algorithyms (I’ve not really pondered the math closely) as in, ie., a month’s tribulation for every minute of Christ’s suffering, etc.. As I’ve previously written:

Clearly, the world where the Christ was brutally crucified (it would happen again and again here) is certainly not God’s favorite, euphemistically speaking … Final News Flash – No, the Christ was not sent here by God to be brutally murdered / sacrificed like some animal in some pagan ritual for the sake of some primitive species evolved from initially notochords, primitive chordates, and relatively more recently primitive apes. Summary Conclusion: Decades at best, people don’t flatter yourselves; in earthly vernacular, God doesn’t give a flyingf*** about this, or any other election. Deceivers all (look at all the pervasive frauds, deceptions embraced by so many), do not deceive yourselves. http://albertpeia.com/anthroindex1.htm

Joe McGinniss Sarah Palin Book, 'The Rogue,' Makes Controversial Claims About Former Alaska Governor  ‘Joe McGinniss's new book, The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin, hits bookstores next week, but its controversial claims about the former Alaska governor are already making waves.

In the book, McGinniss writes that Palin had a one-night stand in 1987 with future NBA basketball player Glen Rice nine months before she married her husband Todd. He quotes a friend who said Palin "had a fetish for black guys for a while."

"She was a gorgeous woman. Super nice. I was blown away by her," Rice tells McGinniss in the book, NBC reports. "Afterward, she was a big crush that I had."

McGinniss's book also alleges that Palin had an extramarital affair with her husband's business partner, Brad Hanson, in the mid-1990s, and snorted cocaine off a 55-gallon oil drum while snowboarding.

"An utter fraud. An absolute and utter fraud," McGinniss calls Palin in an interview about the book with NBC.

"At best, she's a hypocrite," McGinniss tells NBC's Savannah Guthrie. "At worst, she's a vindictive hypocrite."

McGinniss famously moved into a house next door to Palin's Wasilla, Alaska home to write his book -- prompting the Palins to accuse him of stalking them. They built a high fence along their property to protect their privacy.

In response to McGinniss's book, Todd Palin gave a statement to NBC saying that McGinniss "spent the last year interviewing marginal figures with an axe to grind in order to churn out a hit piece to satisfy his own creepy obsession with my wife."

"I'd ask the fathers and husbands of America to consider our privacy when one summer day I found this guy on the deck of the rental property, just 18 feet away next door to us, staring like a creep at my wife while she mowed the lawn in her shorts," Palin said.

McGinniss says that anything he learned about Palin by living next door did not make it into the book, but he does become a character in the story himself.

The New York Times writes in its review:

Soon Mr. McGinniss is settling in to enjoy the fuss his mere presence has created. "Normally, for a news story to continue beyond the first 24-hour news cycle, something newsworthy must occur," he writes loftily, but "The Rogue" is filled with proof to the contrary. What was his hate mail like? He quotes it. What did Glenn Beck call him? That’s here too. Who took umbrage at this venom and chose to help him? One man offered him a hideout, despite Mr. McGinniss's slight skepticism about his motives. "But you don’t know me," Mr. McGinniss protested.

McGinniss's book is scheduled to hit bookstores on Tuesday, Sept. 20.’

Bristol Palin Interview Accidentally Reveals Mother's 15 Abortions  www.theonion.comWASILLA, AK—Sarah Palin's political team was forced to do emergency damage control Monday after the former Alaska governor's daughter Bristol accidentally divulged on live television that her mother has undergone at least 15 abortions over the past 30 years. "She's always telling me how special I am, especially considering the five or six babies she aborted before I was born," Palin, 20, said during a CNN interview in which she was asked if she thought her mother would make a good president. "Then of course there were the twins she aborted shortly after having me, another four abortions after Willow somehow survived hers—but anyway, she's a wonderful mom. She just gets pregnant a lot and doesn't always want to have the baby." Palin also commended her mother's strength in carrying three babies with Down syndrome to term, and then even choosing not to give Trig up for adoption like the others.

Potential catastrophe across the board can't be the result of happenstance. When things go wrong on a grand scale, it's not just bad luck or inadvertence.

There is not going to be, therefore, any serious change in the direction in which the US is headed until a genuine crisis topples the existing order. Until then, the trend will accelerate. The reason is that a certain class of people – sociopaths – are now fully in control of major American institutions. Their beliefs and attitudes are insinuated throughout the economic, political, intellectual and psychological/spiritual fabric of the US.

Dear Sir:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer’s browser) as per your office’s request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I’ve installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named ‘112208opocoan’). The (civil) RICO action (as you’re aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBI’s LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did – he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? – and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation – Andrew Maloney’s the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense.

http://albertpeia.com/typicalblackmanonneighborhoodwatch.htm

‘Timothy Johnson, 24, is shown in this 2007 mugshot provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.’ (KABC Photo) CSheriff's officials released the name of the man they say shot and killed the owner of a computer shop in Lancaster.

The suspect was identified as 24-year-old Timothy Johnson, described as being 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing about 170 pounds with a dark complexion (negro-black) and a closely shaved head.

Detectives say Johnson reportedly entered eChaps Computers and More at 2007 W. Avenue K on Friday, shot and killed store owner Reed Lewis Keith and left with stolen electronics in hand.

Johnson reportedly fled in a black, 1980s model four-door car driven by an accomplice. Investigators said Johnson was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a ski mask at the time of the robbery…’



 

Wearing hoodie, Rush escorted from House floor (Washington Post) [ Hold onto your purses female members, there’s a black boy wearing a hoodie in the house. [ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims)‘.. while walking through Military Park in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA’s position with both felonies ( he went to prison – pled out ). The other case I wrote about here (included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of ‘bystander effect’ / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal after a long chase) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 blacks and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA. But, to be fair and balanced, the RICO litigation involves those uncivilized who consider themselves ‘whites’ http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf  (predominantly but not exclusively jews / romans-italians / mobsters / government slugs). ]

(Washington Post)  [ Well, it’s true that other blacks have a different idea about evolution in racial matters ( VIDEO: Black Student Becomes Enraged In Evolution Class, Threatens To Kill Professor... http://albertpeia.com/blackthreatenstokillprofessorstudentsoverhersimianancestry.htm ); yet, I disagree that he hasn’t taken sides. Saying the subject child would look like him seems pretty close to taking sides on the basis of color. After all, though a mulatto, one could never say that obama could ever be mistaken for white. Moreover, the context differs from other, say black on white crime which is far more prevalent, where the subject Zimmerman was trying to do, however inartfully as here, a positive thing for the neighborhood which has as throughout america been overrun with crime. http://albertpeia.com/blackonwhitecrime.htm  http://www.albertpeia.com/whitesvictimizedbyblacks.htm  .

'Dead or Alive' Poster Issued by New Black Panther Party... [ ‘Minority Report’ Division of Pre-Crime, Pre-Cogs say, ‘Dead or Alive – all blacks’ … whatever the outcome in the investigative process, the stark reality is that at least, unlike the blacks committing many more ‘black on white’ violent crimes,  Zimmerman (and this is no endorsement – I won’t be looking at this one incident all that closely) was at least trying to do a good thing made necessary by the ever increasing number of brutal crimes committed by the black thugs in neighborhoods across the nation; then there’s somalian pirates, etc.. People domestically and internationally are suffering from black-fatigue and are totally blacked out. Oh, yeah, there are some Hollywood types who feel good about themselves having blacks around and helping blacks to help them feel better than they really are, insecure as they are, by being better than at least someone beyond fantasy. Loony george clooney is one. Dreadfully boring and with that monotone, monotonous voice and not that bright, he’s not even able to fake it on screen as an action hero (ie., batman, what a horrific miscast) wimpy pussy in reality that he is; then there’s the ‘black (sean) penn’ who cried like a baby while incarcerated for a couple of days not that long ago. The atheist jolie, so fatherly troubled as she is, has let the equally mentally troubled pitt (she’s so nutty she makes him feel somewhat sane though still not too bright) and pendulum ‘backwoods bob’ be the closest she’s gotten to her black projects. Let them live anonomously (in disguise) with the blacks for some time for a real close look and then see what’s left of their predisposed love for the black. Then there’s the italian scallion, booby deniro; drug addled as his black wife high-tower, what a total embarrassment to Italians everywhere; even as he tried to ingratiate himself recently with blacks everywhere and particularly national embarrassment mammy michele with the embarrassing pro-black first lady remark..   [ Send the blacks back to sub-saharan Africa! ]
'BLACK BLACKS [ NOT WHITES BY BLACKS THE IMPLICATION DESPITE FACTUAL DATA TO THE CONTRARY  ] ARE UNDER ATTACK [ SAYS BLACK SHAKEDOWN ARTIST JACKSON] ' [ Hold on one cotton-pickin’ minute jesse, that’s not what the facts say Obama: ‘If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.’ [ Yeah! He’d look just like any other black. And, don’t worry about the black vote, failed president wobama the b for b***s*** will get nearly if not all, 100% of the black vote! Drudgereport:  Farrakhan Threatens 'Retaliation'… [ Retaliation? Can you imagine the number of blacks that would have to be retaliated against based upon the hushed reality of the prevalence of black on white crime? The blacks should be careful what they wish for in playing that game because the facts don’t break in their favor. ] ...

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

The reality is that blacks are an insoluble problem wherever they are. That’s not going to ever change; not make-shift/make-work jobs; not programs; not anything tried or to be tried; hence, they must be treated as exactly that – problems – before a solution can be derived and fashioned. ] [ Send the blacks, including blackbama back to sub-saharan africa! ]

 

Milbank: My pet Mitt (Washington Post) [Holy smokes! For a minute there I was thinking from the headline, Mr. Milbank, a baseball aficionado and player who had a favorite mitt he’d like to discuss. Nah! Somehow I can’t picture Mr. Milbank on any sports field, much less a baseball field. Then I thought, maybe a story of pet dog puppymill banks that have been getting some press of late. Couldn’t be! I’m now at the article … z.z. … named for offbeat rock group z.z. top? Eh … as they say in socal (in the Valley particularly), ‘what…ever’. But, one has to admit (no pun intended) Mr. Milbank, wobama aficionado extraordinaire is really getting desperate in literally goin’ to the dogs. As a matter of full disclosure, I’m a cat person myself. There was a time that beyond cats, I thought german shepherds, huskies, malamutes, and wolves to be ok by me among canines. Until that is: a girl I casually knew had a pure bred german shepherd  of finest breeding and bloodlines with papers to prove it, which dog took a dump on the floor of my house and lapped up its own crap like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, even licking the floor so as not  to miss a drop. Among the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen in my life and by that one instance, inculcated in my mind forever. Needless to say, I never kissed, etc., that girl again and who I made sure was gone from my life forever shortly thereafter. Cats, and I’ll concede wolves, would never do that. Wobama’s kind of dog-like, incompetent failure as he is, and he’ll be as could be expected, eatin’ his own b***s*** soon; but, maybe not loving it!

 

Intelligence officials retain citizens’ data longer Justice Dept. approves new guidelines allowing counterterrorism agencies to keep information about U.S. residents for up to five years, even if those residents have no known connection to terrorism. ‘Drip by drip our freedoms are vanishing’ (Washington Post) [ Indeed, this is true; but, hardly unprecedented in failing, falling, regimes, nations, empires. Pen-name Tyler Durden of Zero Hedge coincidentally this day weighs in with an explanation: Guest Post: What Is President Obama So Afraid Of? Quietly, and with little fanfare, President Obama signed a “National Defense Resources Preparedness” Executive Order on Friday. As the name suggests, the order intends to shore up the country’s national defense resources in advance of a national emergency. To be fair, this is not the first time that such an order has been written. President Obama’s order, however, takes things much, much further.This is all playing out with nearly perfect historical precision. Time and time again throughout history as once great empires accelerated their declines, governments have taken steps to protect their interests against the people. In the past, they have imposed curfews, disarmed the population, curtailed civil liberties, and declared national emergencies, usually against some great faceless enemy from abroad who threatens their way of life. As it turns out, though, our great faceless enemy is not some mythical boogeyman living in a cave, nor some angry brown person who hates us for our freedoms… but the very people within the system who’ve taken an oath to ‘support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.’ Have you hit your breaking point yet?

NSA Boss Says Agency Does Not Monitor Your Email Kurt Nimmo | Another government bureaucrat takes us for idiots. [ Yes indeed, quite laughable. I’m speculating when I say what they might do so that in their own minds they can say the preposterous aforesaid is set up a project / op, have it classified top secret / off-grid, by way of dummy corp/straw men/cut-outs, etc., perform the monitoring function and report to NSA with high-level deniability. Regardless of machinations, the fact is they do and that’s not all they monitor; enter their cozy deal with google (I still use google almost exclusively for my web search as a matter of disclosure here). Moreover, phones (wireless and landlines, computer and digital television transmissions/views), and I also believe digital / wire financial transactions / transmissions are monitored. Echelon goes way back to the 70’s and one would be foolish to think their ‘mining’ has slowed or regressed; not that they and those whom they serve know what prudently to do with such info. http://pubrecord.org/nation/2290/revisiting-echelon-nsas  . I personally believe they can view / monitor everything on your screen; and the foregoing regardless of encryption, generally, with exceptions. ]

 

APNewsBreak: Marine critical of Obama faces charge [ This one caught my eye. While it is true that good soldiering requires absolute discipline by definition, oaths should be taken seriously, honored, and given effect. That said, burning Qurans was the product I assume of orders reflecting even more than just stupidity; hence, whoever gave the order should  pay the piper. If no order, and stupidity as with urinating on the bodies of the dead, can and should the actors be held accountable for such gross stupidity? Absolutely! However, one must be mindful of the reality that marines invariably have ‘skin in the game’ when it comes to consequences of commanders in chief incompetence, unlawful acts, poor judgment particularly as impacted by questionable mental states (arbitrarily taking the last three presidents as illustrative, viz., clinton, bush, obama certainly reflect this reality and concern coupled with the unnecessary murderous results of their actions). There has been a longstanding rebuke of the ‘just following orders’ defense accorded soldiers since particularly the nazi regime as an example. As such, Stein certainly should be lauded for saying what all soldiers should already know; namely, the unlawful detention of americans, among other constitutionally barred activities should not be among those orders they are willing to follow. The proscriptions of posse comitatus should also serve as a guide. This is particularly important given the fragile mental state of americans generally, and america’s leadership especially. No longer is it, if ever it was, true that americans can be trusted to do the right thing. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Wobama is a desperate and incompetent failure as president whose invariable breach of campaign promises is a testament to his unsuitability for the office he currently occupies; and, one can only thank Stein for recognizing what could devolve into a much more serious and devastating scenario for the nation owing to wobama’s ever increasing political desperation. Broadly and generally, murky areas as this, even involving the military, should be resolved in favor of free speech, first amendment guarantees and against censorship.  Guest Post: The Ascendence Of Sociopaths In US GovernanceHow did we get here? An argument can be made that miscalculation, accident, inattention and the like are why things go bad. Those elements do have a role, but it is minor. Potential catastrophe across the board can't be the result of happenstance. When things go wrong on a grand scale, it's not just bad luck or inadvertence. It's because of serious character flaws in one or many – or even all – of the players. So is there a root cause of all the problems I've cited? If we can find it, it may tell us how we personally can best respond to the problems. In this article, I'm going to argue that the US government, in particular, is being overrun by the wrong kind of person. It's a trend that's been in motion for many years but has now reached a point of no return. In other words, a type of moral rot has become so prevalent that it's institutional in nature. There is not going to be, therefore, any serious change in the direction in which the US is headed until a genuine crisis topples the existing order. Until then, the trend will accelerate. The reason is that a certain class of people – sociopaths – are now fully in control of major American institutions. Their beliefs and attitudes are insinuated throughout the economic, political, intellectual and psychological/spiritual fabric of the US.

 

Obama Administration Tries To Shut Down Rush Limbaugh

Paul Joseph Watson | Media Matters is a White House front group. [ Though a frequent critic of neo-con Limbaugh, I’m against any and all attempts, particularly by desperate wobama et als to shut him down based on what he’s said. ]

McCain, Lieberman, Graham on Afghanistan (Washington Post) [ I say this without even a tinge of sarcasm and as serious as serious can be. If these guys had served during the administration of the last truly great but substantially underrated President General Eisenhower, as cogs in the military industrial complex / zionists / neocons their political careers would have been over before he left office. The nation generally, and connecticut particularly should be thankful lieberman’s gone as his efforts, energies on behalf of israel have always been antithetical to the interests of both. These guys are war mongering losers and have played significant roles in bringing this nation down. (I’m not even going to get into their inapposite reference to the neo-con wet dream come true; that ‘pearl harbor’ incident they longed for, viz., 911, which served as hot-button blinders for the nation – there was advance knowledge of this op which was cheered by israeli agents on the banks of the palisades in weehawken, new jersey in full view of the imploding towers). The only area in which their admonitions ring even remotely true is as pertains to the opium/poppy/heroin trade which will continue under the auspices of the cia but without the muscle (military) necessary to sustain them long-term (see infra). Then there’s the indisputable and insurmountable defacto bankruptcy of the pervasively corrupt disunited states (note the video – 3 minutes which discusses interest costs on the debt  compared to the costs of the wars-understated and doesn’t figure in deaths of soldiers and prospective medical costs of the injured).

Paul Ryan’s dangerous budget Make no mistake: his intentionally vague plan envisions draconian cuts. (Washington Post) Editorial Board [ Truth be told, it’s really not all that often that I’m on the ‘same page’ as the Washington Post’s Editorial Board (and God knows have the utmost respect for this great Publishing Company / Newspaper and their historic defense of and respect for First Amendment, etc.) ; or, ie., Mr. Milbank, etc., who probably is on the opposite end of the political spectrum from me. Yet, I echo their concern / sentiment in commenting as follows: Ryan’s reverse Robin Hood His justification for his irresponsible budget only adds insult to injury. (Washington Post) [ I only wish Mr. Milbank hadn’t used the phrase, ‘Reverse Robin Hood’, inasmuch as this would be among those few times I’d be ‘all in’ in support of his position (which I am infra); but alas, that’s a phrase once used by the deplorable jesse jackson who is a shakedown artist with absolutely no credibility whatsoever. That said, my position is as stated in another WP comment as follows: With spending plan, House GOP renews budget clash with Obama  Proposal would cut social programs and slash taxes for the rich.  ‘Paul Ryan is a national hero’ (Washington Post) [ Hero? Indeed, in a nation of thieves; and, for such a nation of thieves, look no further than … pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america. Yes, thieves, frauds; and, if america was just a nation of thieves, frauds and not the war mongering nation of murderers america’s proven herself to be, there might be at least some high ground upon which u.s. representatives could stand.  Until the filthy rich frauds on wall street among others (everyone knows who they are) are prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed, not a cent in taxes for all the rich (their compatriots, oligarchs with relatively few exceptions) nor a even a penny in programs should be cut. Unfortunately, it’s those corrupt, greedy rich oligarchs who have had their way in bringing the nation down through misdirected policy influence (ie., wars/military industrial complex, etc.), protection of huge frauds still extant (marked to anything courtesy of contraindicated legislated FASB rule change), etc. (a list too long for this comment). The time has come for all people in and outside of this nation to embrace this foregoing reality, truth. All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.--Arthur Schopenhauer

Of noble purpose, religious freedom, freedom generally did they come to these shores.

The uneconomic, fiscally imprudent make-shift election year jobs are a fraud on the electorate with mainstream media complicity in misrepresenting reality by their unending refrains of ‘happy days are here again’.

Karzai calls for U.S. troops to retreat to bases President Karzai is demanding that foreign troops in Afghanistan to retreat from villages and confine themselves to large NATO bases. Taliban announces that it is suspending preliminary peace talks with the U.S. ‘Control the controllable. Leave today.’ (Washington Post) [ Call it by whatever misnomer you will; viz, mission, strategy, etc., the reality is that this destructive, nation-bankrupting debacle is, for all ‘practical’ (actually as impractical as could even be imagined) purposes, over!

Milbank: Gravestones tell story of two wars (Washington Post) [ I’d say more correctly that gravestones tell the story of all wars. The difference in these two wars referenced by Mr. Milbank is that both were unnecessary. Yes, sad but true; they died for nothing; for no good reason whatsoever which reasons include the paranoid zionist neo-con and israeli mental cases, the military industrial complex (would never have happened under the great but substantially underrated President General Eisenhower), political considerations (diversion from the central problems confronting the nation), money, greed, drug trade preeiminence (money/greed), etc..

Ron Paul: "I Think Sanctions Give Iran Motivation To Want A Nuclear Weapon"There are those who say that while they agree completely with Ron Paul's economic policy of fixing the #1 issue that ails America (as a reminder, total US debt/GDP would only decline under a Ron Paul presidency) they disagree with Paul on his foreign policy. We wonder why when all he does is instead of appealing to the jingoism of warmongers and patronizing the basest of herd instincts, he simply tells the truth. Such as on Today's State of the Union show on CNN when asked if Obama has done "enough" to force Iran to stop its nuclear development via sanctions and others, his reply was spot on: "I think he gets too much involved. I think sanctions gives the motivation for them to want a nuclear weapon. We have 45 bases around them, we can demolish them within hours. And the worst thing the sanctions do, and Republicans and Democrats both support it and the other GOP candidates want war even more, the whole thing is there is a lot of dissension in Iran and we should encourage it by not interfering, once we get involve and threaten to bomb them, it becomes nationalistic - everyone joins the Ayataollah and Ahmedinejad. So there is a blowback - unusual circumstances and unintended consequences. So yes, our people are well-intended, but they don't realize how much damage they do by not accomplishing what they want and causing more harm to us. So our military personnel right now are very adamant not to be involved in a bombing of Iran, it makes no sense whatsoever to our military personnel, to the CIA, even though they are much more interventionist than I am."

USA #1? 40 Embarrassing Things That America Is The Best In The World At   http://endoftheamericandream.com ‘Is the USA still #1?  Well, there are many things that America is still the best in the world at, but unfortunately a lot of those categories are nothing to be proud of.  Once upon a time the United States was the greatest nation on earth, but now we are a nation that is in a horrific state of decline.  Just consider a few of the embarrassing things that America leads the world in: obesity, crime, divorce, teen pregnancy, child abuse deaths and government debt.  The statistics that you are about to read below are incredibly disturbing.  Most people that write these kinds of articles about the decline of America hate this country.  But that is not the case with me.  I was born and raised in America and I love this nation deeply.  It is time to realize that we will never be able to start fixing our problems until we take a really good look in the mirror and realize just how far we have fallen.  America is not the country that it once was.  America is a complete and total mess and just "tweaking" a few things here and there is not going to return this nation to its former glory.  We have forgotten the things that once made us great, and if we do not return to them we will continue to fall apart as a nation.

With that being said, the following are 40 embarrassing things that America is the best in the world at....

#5 U.S. corporations sell more fast food and more soda than anyone else in the world by a wide margin.

#6 Nobody watches more television per week (28 hours) than Americans do.  Although to be honest, people living in the UK are tied with us.

#21 There is more credit card debt in America than anywhere else in the world.

#23 There is more student loan debt in America than anywhere else in the world.

#24 The United States spends more money on government schools than any other nation on earth does.

#31 The United States has the most complicated tax system on the entire planet.

#32 The United States has the most laws on the entire planet.

#33 The United States spends more on the military than the next 12 nations combined, and yet the Obama administration is considering plans to unilaterally slash the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal by up to 80 percent.

#34 The United States has the most foreign military bases in the world by far.

#35 The United States exports more arms to other countries than anyone else in the world.

#36 Americans spend more time sitting in traffic than anyone else in the world.

#37 Americans spend more money on elections than anyone else does in the world by a very wide margin.

#38 Every single year, the United States has the largest trade deficit in the world by far.

#39 The U.S. government wastes more money than any other government on earth does.

#40 The United States has accumulated the biggest mountain of government debt in the history of the world.

So is the USA #1?

Unfortunately, the answer way too often is yes.

The goal of this list of embarrassing things is not to trash America.

Rather, the goal is to wake Americans up and to get them to realize what has happened to us.

We should be deeply humbled and embarrassed as a nation.  We were once the best in the world and the envy of the entire globe, but now the whole world is laughing at us.

America is supposed to be a beacon of liberty, freedom and prosperity for the entire planet.

Instead, we are rapidly turning into a horror show.

Wake up America.  The condition of our country is absolutely shameful, and every single day it gets even worse.

Please share this list with as many people as you can.  The American people need a massive wake up call, and it is up to those of us that are awake to share the truth while we still can.’

The Post’s View  A tear for Putin’s Russia Editorial Board He reclaims a country that is no longer so sure about him. (Washington Post) [  A tear? How about a cheer … for Putin’s Russia. No longer sure about him? Indeed, if they listen to the western press among other ‘anti-Russia’ propaganda outlets / disseminators. Suffice it to say, much to the chagrin of america / israel / Russia’s enemies, whether knowingly or not, or just plain oblivious to the threat, by electing Putin, Russia has just dodged a major ‘bullet’ in a very big way! 3-15-12 There was mention of Russia’s intent regard a manned moon mission to which I respond to such if intended by the historically great nation of Russia: Bon voyage! Good luck! Godspeed!

 

Putin wins election amid fraud complaints (Washington Post) [ Oh come on! Those complaints were coming no matter what. Indeed, the u.s. led (much like that in the Mid-East, one way or another; ie., Iraq, Libya, etc.) efforts to unseat ‘The Great Vladimir Putin’ have failed (believe me, they are seething with envy and resentment for Russia’s good fortune prospectively), which is a testament to the intelligence and survival instincts of an historically great nation that has stood the test of time. Yet, I truly believe there are those in Russia herself who quite foolishly fail to see and appreciate this reality and the formerly substantial but still extant threat from without. Moreover, I further posite that almost without exception there’s substantial  fraud / skullduggery in virtually every venue at every level, municipal, state, federal of near every american election (coincidentally, on the tv news ‘shock’ was reported that some local official would receive $272,000 equivalent pension for life, exceeding even the outrageously high salary of that worker – as in every crime, the motive, local, state, federal). Who's congratulating Putin? (FP)(Editors)[ I am! Congratulations President Putin!

Five myths about Vladi­mir Putin (Washington Post) [ Much like many of problems globally, from strife to economic / financial fraud / instability, the myths are of particularly american and western origin; and, a consequence of their seething envy of and resentment toward this talented, great leader of an historically great nation.

Pressing the Putin regime Editorial Board The Magnitsky bill will allow U.S. to push Russia on human rights. (Washington Post) [ How ‘bout pressing the ‘criminal american regime’. The examples of american criminality domestically and internationally are legion. From war crimes, to illegal wars based on lies, to substantial ongoing involvement in the illegal drug trade (even giving rise to war, infra), to substantial protected frauds in the trillions at the expense of the majority (of ‘poor slobs’, their view) domestically and internationally, the list goes on and on. Historically, thieves by nature, american criminality exceeds that of all nations/people by so wide a margin that the same defies comparison (the coverups would increase even those huge numbers in leaps and bounds – see infra). Everybody knows what mainstream media’s complicitly covered up for decades. I personally ‘view’ mainstream for the ‘pictures’ (visual) and news of the character of what they want you to be hearing, seeing, etc., and of course, quite separately, films. The grim reality of the real america is so sordid and despicable that’s it’s no small wonder the government’s spent decades infiltrating, concentrating, and then controlling with their fellow oligarchs the ‘news fit to be seen and heard’. The envy of america for nations that have stood the test of time is overwhelming, and Russia is foremost among them. Meaningfully lawless america fears a great leader as President Putin (yes, President and they all know it, are seething with envy and resent it) because there is no such equal or parallel in america since President General Eisenhower who never took any crap from those nefarious elements who now control the empty office of the u.s. presidency, including as he warned of, that military industrial complex, and any other monied interest, ie., wall street banksters, etc.. A nation in decline, americans only think they have such rights so long as they’re but a doormat for the pervasively corrupt american regime who unscrupulously abide by no law which was true of this fallen nation ab initio, but particularly egregious in these last decades. So, editorial board, try to be relevant domestically before delving into areas that are clearly the priority of others in their homelands. To see americans talking human rights when engaging in illegal wars for profit, drugs, budget allotments, etc., despite defacto bankruptcy of the nation, while engaging in torture, other violations of the Geneva Conventions, evinces propagandized mindlessness and is pathetic. So, if you want to do something for humanity, press the criminal american regime. I personally don’t think you have either the saavy smarts nor the courage to do so! That’s why profits for mainstream news orgs are down. I’d also recommend focusing on the lawless u.s. client state israel; maybe a story or two on their 300+ illegal nukes (with stolen american nuke technology I would add). After all, those numerous Iran stories are counter-productive to highlighting reality. Do something useful, meaningful; press the ‘criminal american regime’. Show some courage, integrity! The world’s watching, but not holdiong their breath.

Extremist for the wealthy Romney’s “gaffes” reveal his radical views.  (Washington Post) [ Yes, indeed; and, the trump endorsement didn’t help at all; that glitzy ‘gold (plated) this and gold that’; the corruption that only money can buy; and, even more inside the story involves mobsters that typify america today that includes those cash-rich elements that having an inside track with federal judges (sister maryanne, alito, etc.) who can set the illegal ‘legal scenario’ yields enough value for quid pro quo, bribes, etc., which corruption is pervasive in america and plays a huge part in the nation’s unmistakable decline. Yet, the reality is that that defacto wobama, that is, wobama in fact has proven little different despite past and present rhetoric.

Yet, it would be amazing if only it wasn’t a testament to america’s unmistakable, ineluctable decline and fall by virtually every criterion by which a nation/state is measured. My direct personal experience, with extremely few exceptions,  is that there’s very little difference between the u.s. government and organized crime. That’s reality, not hopium!

Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [  http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world  ]  ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever. [ website archived links http://albertpeia.com/uscocainedistributionfiles.htm  ) ‘When they’re losing, they can afford to be principled’ says corrupt mobster trump regarding the snubbing of his ‘less than moderation’ of an upcoming debate in Iowa by the remaining principled GOP contenders. In reality, it’s actually ‘when you’re winning, you can afford to be principled’. But, in trump’s corrupt, sordid, sinkhole habitat, the former is indeed his truth. If you’re principled, you’re losing in trump’s rather surreal unreality. After all, pervasively corrupt and unprincipled america is indeed losing; and, big-time at that. That trump is a megalomaniac, a narcissist, and, yes … a loser, there is no question. Indeed, anyone who ‘wins’ unfairly (corruption, etc.) at others expense (ie., himself, the frauds on wall street, etc.) is a loser. Unfortunately, such modus operandi, including that which is criminal, has been accorded protection and respect in defacto bankrupt america, much like the ‘protected’ (bribes, etc.) common drug dealer (america, see infra), pimp, etc.. Then there’s the endearing (to a dumbed down american public) hype! That cloyingly cutesy ‘the donald’ routine is nauseating; but, that’s the natural, visible concomitant to a nation in ineluctable decline! On a positive note, megalomaniac trump will not be able to retread the path of his role model / idol Adolf Hitler as head of state. He’s really quite a joke when you think about it; and a mentally ill one at that; ask Steve Wynn, he’ll tell you, he’s already said it.

 

‘Pizza with palin’, ‘town hall of fame with Bachmann’, trump purports to be at least ‘alcohol free’ (the alleged cause – I don’t think so – of mobster trump’s elder brother’s suicide); but is he ‘med-free’? … there must be something to account for his madness (he’s a psychopath who used to play Hitler speeches for inspiration).

 

Trump to moderate GOP debate This won’t end well. (Washington Post) [ Goes without saying… of all people to choose … Why not Jerry Springer?… ‘Non-celebrity Apprentice’, the new reality show, as in who scratches whose back for favors down the road, as in quid pro quo, as in trump’s continued ‘graduation’ from commonly mob connected, to new york/new jersey politically sordid sinkholes, to now failed washingtonian … ‘establishment’?

Energy Dept. failed to act as Solyndra sank (WP) [ This stuff is becoming all too typical. I believe it’s time to start questioning what federal employees get paid for. After all, pervasively corrupt america is defacto bankrupt (  America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion ) . Moreover, america’s pervasive corruption, even crimes,  has become synonomous with the machinations of any number of federal agencies / departments / all branches of government  (ie., DOJ – holder/fast and furious/race bias UPDATE: MORE CLAIMS OF RACE BIAS AT JUSTICE...ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims , Fannie / Freddie Mac , SEC destroyed documents, senator says 17 Aug 2011 ‘The Securities and Exchange Commission destroyed documents and compromised enforcement case ...   Sen.Grassley  “It doesn’t make sense that an agency responsible for investigations would want to get rid of potential evidence…’ Report: SEC lawyer exposed FBI informant (WP) [the sec liar (sic – lawyer) typically with a ‘pre or post’ arrangement, whether implicit or explicit; that ubiquitous ‘bribe thing’ in pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt, fallen  america.

Romney’s money problem His nomination may be near, but his routine is getting a bit rich. (Washington Post) [ Yet another of those ‘aw come on wobama lover Mr. Milbank moments’. I mean really. Wobama’s are as ‘rich’, and disingenuous at best to say otherwise, and his routine, namely b***s***, is past ‘getting old’. After all, wobama can’t run on his clear record of failure as bush failure 3 with what turns out as before, b***s*** alone. The problem is that there’s nothing that can be said of the republican offerings (except Ron Paul) for which it can’t be said of wobama that he’s been there, done that in contravention of all prior campaign promises, to the substantial detriment of the nation. Even his new ‘displacement’ as chief of staff’s a ‘wall street inside man’ (Drudgereport: FLASHBACK: Daley planned to leave AFTER election...  ,  Michelle (a black) distressed about power of 'white Irish Catholic'...  ,  New Obama Chief of Staff: Former Hedge Fund Exec at CITI, Made Money off Mortgage Defaults... (even Castro’s correct on this obvous point regarding the duplicitous wobama ) Castro: 'Robot' better than Obama, Republicans...  . Obama missing the mark on defense? President Obama’s defense strategy — and the assumptions underlying it — need a closer look. (Washington Post) [ I really don’t know what the editorial board really is; but that’s the only reason I’m commenting here (on this one) given their most recent, shocking ‘contributions’ to the discourse. First, let’s begin with a  fundamental reality; viz., america is hopelessly and insurmountably defacto bankrupt (34 Shocking Facts About U.S. Debt That Should Set America On Fire With Anger  http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com   ‘We have all been lied to.  For decades, the leaders of both major political parties have promised us that they can fix our current system and that they can get our national debt under control.  As the 2012 election approaches, they are making all kinds of wild promises once again.  Well you know what?  It is all a giant sham.  The United States has gotten into so much debt that there will be no coming back from this.  The current system is irretrievably broken… Professor Laurence J. Kotlikoff, the U.S. is facing a "fiscal gap" of over 200 trillion dollars in the future.  The following is a brief excerpt from a recent article that he did for CNN...The government's total indebtedness -- its fiscal gap -- now stands at $211 trillion.. The fiscal gap is the difference, measured in present value, between all projected future spending obligations -- including our huge defense expenditures and massive entitlement programs, as well as making interest and principal payments on the official debt -- and all projected future taxes…#33 If you add up all forms of debt in the United States (government, business and consumer), it comes to more than 56 trillion dollars.  That is more than $683,000 per family…). Second, I’d like to know how these unaffordably expensive military industrial complex (warned against by the great but substantially underrated President General Eisenhower) welfare programs have succeeded in accomplishing anything but the defacto bankruptcy of this nation, created fortunes for the war profiteering few, while fomenting (justifiable) anti-american sentiment globally (that ‘destructive thing’ that rational people abhor). Third, $489 billion in cuts over 10 years (however ‘sold’, ie., ‘new strategy’) is nothing relative to the enormity and insurmountability of the nation’s debt. What need’s a closer look is not so much the ‘new strategy’; but rather that failed abhorrent old strategy, however repackaged, and those who made it. After all, it doesn’t matter so much what they say, as it does what they do. A glaring example is the ‘war on drugs’ given america’s unequivocal involvement in same (infra). As for wobama missing the mark on defense, there isn’t anything whatsoever that wobama hasn’t missed the mark on. Obama flush with financial sector cash The president has managed to raise more money this year from the sector than any GOP contender. (WP) [ So much for obama and OWS; but how ‘bout wobama and obs … yes, more ‘obama b*** s*** !

(Washington Post) [ As such, the same salvos levied against slimy newt are aposite here and reiterated. Yet, I’m still non-plused by santorum equating same-sex marriage (as a heterosexual myself I can’t say that I’m wild about that idea) with polygamy (truth be told it could be easy for me to picture being wild about that idea). I haven’t yet looked closely at santorum, candidly speaking; and, know him only by his contraindicated and preposterous ‘soundbites’ in defense of nation-bankrupting neo-con geopolitics (wars) and have previously referred to him as a ‘lightweight’ thereby.

 

 

Santorum looks to beat back perceptions Former senator from Pennsylvania does not plan to abandon Christian rhetoric or shoestring campaign, but he is being forced to shift his strategy to counter perceptions that he is obsessed with controversial social issues.  ‘He has painted himself into extreme right corner’ (Washington Post) [ What perceptions? That he’s against higher taxes (who’s not given their wasteful bipartisan spending and the undeniable defacto bankruptcy of the nation); yet, consistent with the bipartisan mindset, hasn’t seen an unnecessary war he didn’t like? Reality counts!

 

Santorum’s failed pander His false and snobbish attack on the president. (Washington Post) [ Failed? Not really, since it was always his destiny as with his role model, ‘Big John’ to be the one holding up that broken column to prevent collapse, and save the others … just kidding … Santorum releases federal tax returns showing sharp rise in personal wealth GOP candidate stresses his coal-mining background, but personal finances tell another story. (Washington Post) [ From beyond, it’s Jimmy Dean, is that sweet rick he’s singin’ of? ‘Every morning at the mine you could see him arrive, stood 5’11” and weighed 187, kind of narrow at the shoulders and wider at the hips, somewhat resembling Seinfeld you couldn’t mistake those lips of big rick, big rick, big ri__ck, you’re a d***, big bad rick’ ….. Not really! The only tunnel he’s worked in is the one under capital hill that leads to the treasured capital hill money for nothing. There’s only so much drain without value added that a nation can stand. Then again, trump really hurt romeney! Yet, whomever it’s to be is facing the most failed, incompetent, and typically corrupt presidents in american history, such as it has been miswritten.

Obama budget takes aim at Wall StreetThe president’s plan calls for a bank tax twice as big as the one he proposed last year, a sign he wants to make anti-Wall Street sentiment a signature of his campaign. (Washington Post) [ Takes aim at wall street? If only he could shoot straight! Indeed, prosecutions (including fines and disgorgement) of the multitude of wall street frauds in the trillions at the highest levels as promised last time around would yield far more revenue than that being bandied about, assuming arguendo, a real chance for passage of such a tax.

 

 

Price tag rises for Wall Street bailout Cost of bailout is rising, so Obama administration plans to seek more money from proposed bank tax. Obama budget takes aim at Wall Street  Trading probe: Tale from a bygone era Insider-trading probe of House committee chairman evokes memories of 19th-century scandal. (Washington Post) [ Indeed it does! And, as a consequence of the wall street favored fed ‘plan(s)’, incuding current QE’s sub rosa, the costs of everything are rising faster despite the obfuscation and spin. There are no free lunches and the piper must be paid, sooner as opposed to much more costly later.

 

Why insider trading probes are awkward for SEC (Washington Post) [ If only it wasn’t true that ‘where there’s a will, there’s a way’! Clearly, a lack of will and conflicts, bribes / quid pro quo, even destruction of evidence, have plagued the SEC. Yet, their’s is only the province of civil remedies with at best criminal referrals to the DOJ for prosecution; good luck with that (remember all those prosecutions promised last election time by what is now the wobama / holder doj of the still extant high level wall street frauds in the trillions…never happened  - { Obama flush with financial sector cash The president has managed to raise more money this year from the sector than any GOP contender.

The Post’s View The Senate didn’t do enough to stop insider trading Editorial Board There’s still too much ambiguity on rules covering lawmakers. (Washington Post) [ So much for nobody being above the law! I quite agree that absolutely no ambiguity; indeed, no ‘wiggle room’ whatsoever should be countenanced in this ‘legislation’. Actually, an outright ban would be a more ‘cut and dry’ approach and desirable. Objections? Don’t run for office if you don’t like the rule. After all, Washington politics has strayed a long way from being a ‘public service sacrifice’ to rather an extravagantly accoutered, very costly to the public, but lucrative end in itself; and worse, regardless of results (the fiefdoms seem to be self-perpetuating). Yet, it still comes down to the meaningfulness of the laws, particularly relative to arbitrary enforcement; and, for those who believe the ‘courts’ will apply those laws as written and intended, I’m constrained to say from direct experience: ‘You don’t get out much!’ http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm     http://albertpeia.com/stansberrycorruptiondeclineofamerica.htm  http://albertpeia/americangovernmentdrugtrafficking.htm     http://albertpeia/americascorruptiondrugtrade.htm  

 

 

 

Meyerson: Out-of-touch Republicans (Washington Post) [ Oh! Riiiiight! It’s just those dern republicans; since, every 4 years the dems (and wobama) are all ears (that’s literally and figuratively). Not that anything of substance actually comes of their being all ears, but we should be grateful they’re listening despite that being precisely what they’re supposed to be doing along with the action consistent therewith.

Republicans in fantasy land  Wednesday’s debate presented a party adrift from reality. (Washington Post) [ This article refers to republicans only. Now who’s in fantasy land … Mr. Hiatt. The embrace of fantasy economically, fiscally, financially, politically, geo-politically is truly a bi-partisan undertaking. See chart: http://albertpeia.com/debtpercapita.jpg . Here’s some bi-partisan u.s. debt reality: http://albertpeia.com/34shockingfactsaboutusdebt.htm   . National debt will likely swell under top GOP hopefuls’ plans, report shows Analysis finds Ron Paul’s tax plan is the exception and would slice about $2 trillion from future borrowing. (Washington Post) [ Nothing could match the swelling seen under wobama the b for b***s***, particularly while in ‘election year mode’. At this point, who’s counting? Swelling indeed! The nation’s now one big hematoma of insurmountable debt!  The growing deficit? It’s not as bad as it looks. Modern Monetary Theory, which asserts that budget shortfalls are actually good for the economy, is gaining popularity. If accepted by policymakers, this unorthodox take on financial strategy could affect everything from job creation to the price of goods to the tax code. (Washington Post) [ Not as bad as it looks? Yeah! It’s worse! When I saw this headline juxtapsed with Dylan, immediately apropo to the moment was ‘Blowin’ (in the) Wind’ by Bob Dylan. How totally preposterous; not that it is totally unexpected that such spin, defense of the indefensible is inevitible inasmuch as, prudent or not, like it or not, that’s the way it is in a very big way. So big in fact, that it is literally insurmountable leading to Weimar over-printing of fiat paper currency of unprecedented historical proportion which has already required ‘cover stories’/obfuscation for the consequent ratcheting of food / energy prices, etc., with other costs soon to catch up with incomes statements as these higher prices will not be favorably received nor successfully passed on.

Obama looks to tame U.S. debt Spending plan would pump nearly $500 billion into new construction projects over the next decade. (Washington Post) [ Tame u.s. debt … Yes indeed, by more record level spending … Sounds like a plan! Well, you know the drill; it’s an election year and it takes money ( that’s not really there, and no, not to make money ) to if not get elected, to enable an argument that, though contraindicated, you should be elected. I think we’ve passed the ‘fool me twice, shame on me’ threshold.  Obama Revises CBO Deficit Forecast, Predicts 110% Debt-To-GDP By End Of 2013, Worse Deficit In 2012 Than 2011Ben Bernanke FTMFW Quote Of The DayAnd the winner is...

OPINION | The amount he’s actually responsible for adding to the deficit is difficult to calculate.   (Washington Post) [ Well, when you’re dealing with debased, over-printed fiat currency and insurmountable debt levels, the precise amount of debt added on his watch matters less than the fact that he’s increased america’s debt by an amount in excess of the total amounts of all the nations’ presidents since Eisenhower combined. (34 Shocking Facts About U.S. Debt That Should Set America On Fire With Anger  http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com    http://albertpeia.com/34shockingfactsaboutusdebt.htm   ‘We have all been lied to.  For decades, the leaders of both major political parties have promised us that they can fix our current system and that they can get our national debt under control.  As the 2012 election approaches, they are making all kinds of wild promises once again.  Well you know what?  It is all a giant sham.  The United States has gotten into so much debt that there will be no coming back from this.  The current system is irretrievably broken… Professor Laurence J. Kotlikoff, the U.S. is facing a "fiscal gap" of over 200 trillion dollars in the future.  The following is a brief excerpt from a recent article that he did for CNN...The government's total indebtedness -- its fiscal gap -- now stands at $211 trillion.. The fiscal gap is the difference, measured in present value, between all projected future spending obligations -- including our huge defense expenditures and massive entitlement programs, as well as making interest and principal payments on the official debt -- and all projected future taxes…#33 If you add up all forms of debt in the United States (government, business and consumer), it comes to more than 56 trillion dollars.  That is more than $683,000 per family…).

 

 

Milbank: Burning bridges in Washington (Washington Post) [ Burning bridges? What, London bridge is falling down? (Actually, in a manner of speaking it is: George Osborne: UK has run out of money London Telegraph | The Government ‘has run out of money’ and cannot afford debt-fuelled tax cuts or extra spending, George Osborne has admitted.) Oh, sure; this, from wobama aficionado Mr. Milbank. And, despite spending more than all the presidents since Eisenhower combined, wobama cannot obfuscate, manipulate, mask his complete and utter failure and for once in his life must be held accountable for even his own words (b***s***): ‘… “The president said three years ago that if he couldn’t turn this around in three years, then this would be a one-term proposition. Well, Republican governors are deciding it’s time to collect. It’s time for a new president.” A third governor, Nikki Haley of South Carolina, piled on. “It was frustrating to see that he once again was finger-pointing at everyone else, and we don’t have that luxury,” she said, instructing the president: “Enough of the talk.” You’d literally have to go back to Jimmy Carter’s years in the White House, back in the 1970s, to match the liberal ideology, to match the incompetence.” Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell proposed a remedy …’ . After all, if he had but done what he said he would do upon which he campaigned and was elected, though still dire, the nation’s predicament would have been substantially improved. Moreover, if he had done as promised, whatever the outcome, he could not have been faulted as he so fittingly does deserve to be so now.

 

 

 

Gallup: Obama's favorability lowest of any nominee since Bob Dole (Washington Post) [ There’s absolutely no surprise here! The only real surprise is that his favorability isn’t substantially lower. After all, the cost of maintaining even this near record low favorability is unprecedented record high spending exacerbating pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt’s america’s already insurmountable debt level disaster.  Obama Economists Admit: 'Stimulus' Cost $278,000 per Job...  ,  Obama's Legacy: A Failed Recovery & Double-Dip Recession  Forbes / Mariotti  ‘…There will be no significant recovery in the United States of America while Barack Obama is President.  The evidence is overwhelming:  everything Obama has tried to fuel a recovery (with his Democratic allies in Congress) has failed.  Statistics claiming jobs saved by the stimulus package were mostly fiction, and cost American taxpayers about $275,000 each.  Nearly 2-1/2 million fewer Americans have jobs than before the stimulus… Obamacare, a program that doesn’t create jobs, but might destroy a lot of them.  He “bailed out” GM, but many believe that his interference didn’t save GM; it merely cost taxpayers an extra $15-20 billion, and stole from legitimate investors to buy off the UAW.  His broken campaign promises are too numerous to list.  At some point, his statute of limitations on blaming Bush runs out…’

 

A Warning Sign For The World  http://albertpeia.com/warningsignfortheworld.htm
Any financial system that is based on debt is doomed to fail.  Today, we are living in the greatest debt bubble that the world has ever seen, and if all of a sudden people could not use credit to buy things our economy would immediately ground to a halt.  Unfortunately, no debt bubble can last forever.  When this current debt bubble finally bursts, faith in the financial system is going to disappear, credit is going to freeze up and there is going to be a massive wave of bank failures.

In Obama’s export push, clash of U.S. interests That collision has been evident in the U.S. airline industry, where policies that aided Boeing forced another American company, Delta, to lose business. Experts say the approach by Obama, who is visiting a Boeing plant today, forces him to pick winners and losers. ‘Service sector cannot and should not lead our economy’ (Washington Post) [ Ramping up the rhetoric; or rather, the b***s***, which is what wobama does best though his actions and inactions since last campaign mode belie his words. First, there isn’t enough real capital in the world to sustain america’s debt burden, and, the over-printed fiat paper weimar dollar currency will be ‘paid for’ by ‘all’. Second, even assuming, arguendo, the absence of the foregoing insurmountable burden / obstacle, there simply is not enough capital in the world to retransition what’s been decades in the making overseas with modern plants and equipment there, now here, much less being profitable to do so. Too little, too late for wobama the b for b***s*** whose actions have consistently belied his words, and who has literally further insurmountably bankrupted the nation with excessively costly and uneconomic window-dressed numbers. For example, taxpayers should get a share of the GM profits since they’re paying for them, ie., { to pad stats - Drudgereport: Obama Economists Admit: 'Stimulus' Cost $278,000 per Job...  }  and those unaffordably costly cars { to pad sales - Drudgereport (on Government Motors): REPORT: Chevy Volt Costing Taxpayers Up to $250K Per Vehicle...  CAVUTO: Volt sales inflated with taxpayer fleet buys...  }  Is the unemployment rate misleading? WONKBLOG | Some point out that it doesn’t count those who’ve given up looking for work. (Washington Post) [ Duh! Ya think? I don’t even buy their raw numbers; and, even if, arguendo, their raw numbers real, they are election year expedient at best for ‘reporting purposes’ and uneconomic, overcostly, and very, very temporary http://albertpeia.com/governmentfraudulentemploymentstats.htm  . White House was warned about Solyndra layoffs E-mails show Energy Dept. asked firm in October 2010 to delay news of layoffs until after midterm vote. (Washington Post) [ Those unaffordably costly jobs and those unaffordably costly military industrial complex welfare programs .  The ‘so-called improvement’? At what cost for election appearances only?  ***? Milbank: Obama’s budget games He avoided anything resembling a serious proposal. (Washington Post) [ I’m totally astounded! I really am! I even checked / refreshed to see if this was a print / display error! Praise the Lord! It’s true! Criticism of his much-loved wobama! Even pinched myself to see if I was dreaming.  Who woulda think it? Tough love? I’d say we’ll happily take any criticism of wobama by Mr. Milbank as welcomed and nothing short of a monumental breakthrough, whatever the reason. But indeed Mr. Milbank’s quite right and the context is surely typical wobama election-year b***s***! 

 

Tax policy for manufacturing jobs — carrots or sticks? When it comes to U.S. manufacturing jobs, more Americans support the punishment than the enticement. (Washington Post) [ Oh yeah! That all sounds great, election year and all. But, not even on paper. You can’t unring the bell. Moreover, even if you could ‘unring the bell’, like retooling, there’s time and expense. Structurally, even if america wasn’t defacto bankrupt, who’d bear the costs of such incentives which would have to be so huge so as to be prohibitive (the wage cost disparity). In other words, any such policy would require as we’ve already seen government subsidies that are literally unsustainable and otherwise uneconomic in terms of generating profits / surplus.

$200 Oil Coming As Central Banks Go CTRL+P HappyWe have been saying it for weeks, and today even the WSJ jumped on the bandwagon: the sole reason why crude prices are surging (RIP European profit margins: with EUR Brent at a record, we can only assume the ECB will pull a 2011 and hike rates in 3-4 months even as it pumps trillions in PIIGS, banks bailout liquidity) - is because global liquidity has risen by $2 trillion in a few short months, on the most epic shadow liquidity tsunami launched in history in lieu of QE3 (discussed extensively here in our words, but here are JPM's). Luckily, the market is finally waking up to this, and just as world central banks were preparing to offset deflation, they will instead have to deal with spiking inflation, because the market may have a short memory, it can remember what happened just about this time in 2011. And the problem is that when it comes to the inflation trade, the market, unlike in most other instances, can be fast - blazing fast, at anticipating what the central planning collective's next step will be, after all there is only one. And if Bank of America is correct, that next step could well lead to the same unprecedented economic catastrophe that we saw back in 2008, only worse: $200 oil. Note - this is completely independent of what happens in Iran, and is 100% dependent on what happens in the 3rd subbasement of the Marriner Eccles building. Throw in an Iran war and all bets are off. Needless to say, an epic deflationary shock will need to follow immediately, just as in 2008, which means that, in keeping with the tradition of being 6-9 months ahead of the market, our question today is - which bank will be 2012's sacrificial Lehman to set off the latest and greatest deflationary collapse and send crude plunging to $30 just after it hits $200.

 

$10 Trillion In 2 years - 'Over' Abundant Liquidity And ExpectationsA funny thing happened while we all waited for the Fed to announce QE3. The rest of the world did it for them. Courtesy of Bloomberg's excellent Economics Brief, and the n'th time, here is what a multi-trillion dollar liquidity expansion looks like even with the Fed running silent. And this is also what $10 trillion in 2 years pumped into the markets looks like. Wonder where the market gets its "spring step" from? Now you know. Thank you Economist PhD's!

Super-PAC donors act as GOP kingmakers  A rarefied group of millionaires and billionaires is acting as kingmakers in the Republican presidential contest, often helping to decide, with a simple transfer of money, which candidate might survive another day in race. (Washington Post) [ Let’s not limit this ‘oligarchy in action’ scenario to the republicans. After all, it took some scrutiny from across the sea to ferret out early on a similar scenario regarding ‘the man of the people’, ‘the man of change’ (NOT on both counts) wobama the b for b***s***; viz., David Icke,  Barack Obama: The Naked Emperor Shocking but true revelations from David Icke|  infra ‘...Obama is just more of the same, a big smile with strings attached, and controlled completely by those that chose him, trained him, sold him and provided his record funding, kept his many skeletons under wraps, like the gay sex and crack cocaine .. Larry Sinclair (from affidavit: 1. Who is Ron Allen that claims to be with your Presidential camp, who is alleged to claim that someone claiming to represent me called asking for $100,000, to keep me from coming forward about our (Obama and I) November 1999 encounter of sex and cocaine use?), ... Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself .., and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. His financial advisors are straight from the Wall Street 'A' list, including Paul Adolph Volker (Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group), the head of the Federal Reserve from 1979 to 1987 and Illuminati to his fingertips. Obama has made him head of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which is dominated by insiders, including its staff director and chief economist, Austan Goolsbee, a close Obama associate from the University of Chicago. Goolsbee is an initiate of the infamous Illuminati Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, which also includes Boy and Father Bush. It was Goolsbee who told the Canadian government not to worry about Obama's attacks on the economic effects of free trade agreements because his words were just to win votes in the election campaign. Another Wall Street insider, the Zionist Timothy Geithner (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations), was appointed by Obama to be his Treasury Secretary. Geithner was the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the most powerful in the private Federal Reserve cartel that masquerades as America's central bank, and he is a former employee of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the appalling Kissinger Associates. Obama's Treasury team locks into the inner circle around the Zionist Robert Rubin, the Director and Senior Counselor of Citigroup, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and economic advisor to Obama. Rubin, a member of the Illuminati Bilderberg Group, was the man behind Citigroup's strategy of expanding its risk in debt markets which forced it to be rescued by taxpayers' money. The very people who caused the financial crisis are being appointed by Obama to decide how to respond to it (more taxpayers' money for them and their friends)’

Putin unleashes wave of anti-American sentiment ahead of March elections Can U.S.-Russian relations withstand damage from attacks that have gotten more aggressive? (Washington Post) [ One can hardly expect a great leader of a great nation as Russia (yes, it is President Putin) to roll over and bend over for a pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt, meaningfully lawless nation as america surely is. The question always boils down to the ultimate cost of better relations with the u.s.. For indigenous populations and foreign nations that have tested the waters of ‘better relations with america’, the outcomes have been fatal (Iraq, Libya, etc., to name a recent few). I personally am constrained to sound and be accused of being ‘anti-american’ (not really, but by their spin certainly) by standing for my rights in property and constitutionally and resisting the costly corruption by the lawless oligarchs presiding over america’s declining / falling destiny today. The vast majority of americans this day are being irrevocably screwed by the u.s. government which is for the sake of current obfuscation bankrupting all in futurity. The corruption is real in america, at the highest levels of all branches of the u.s. government, and I’ve seen this first hand.

Vladi­mir Putin: My vision for a better Russia (Washington Post) [ I certainly agree that Putin is a man of vision and a great leader of an historically great nation with a long, rich history. Moreover, as he astutely points out, candidates’ worthless promises have the hollow ring we see epitomized by the jive-talker wobama. As Russia made the transition passing through that oligarchical stage as mentioned, america has devolved into an oligarchy for which there are no meaningfully enforced laws / rules and for which this parasitic, symbiotically venal interaction between elements of all branches of the u.s. government and the oligarchs (ie., wall street, etc.) has been destructive domestically (ie., the national drain of corruption on k street, huge frauds, etc.) and globally (the military industrial complex, wars, etc.). The story of america’s rather brief history, beyond the propaganda, is, in a nutshell, one of ‘taking without asking’, without regard to meaningful law, common decency, or morality. The taking includes lives, property, and most recently, liberty (as manifested in various nefarious, self-created problems for which they provide ‘the solution’; ie., encroachments on speech, etc.).

Why Iran wants the bomb (Washington Post) [ Assuming, arguendo, that they do (want the bomb – they deny it –but israel also denied or pretends by silence what everyone knows ain’t so, or none of anyone’s business), they could always say the why is ‘better relations with america’ as has worked for contraindicated american favorite israel (they could also point out that at least they didn’t steal the nuke tech from the u.s. as did israel). The reference to alleged culpability regarding the ‘attempted’ revenge (and the notion of revenge is important and acknoledges what all know is israel culpability regard the assassination of the subject Iranians) killings of israeli dips which have been described by some as false flag attempts to rally  support for invading Iran.

Milbank: With Hispanics, a GOP death wish (Washington Post) [ Wow! GOP death wish? A bit melodramatic on the part of Mr. Milbank. Coupled with yesterday’s long overdue criticism of wobama, one has to wonder whether it’s the dc drinking water that’s the culprit. Then again, could this be a rhetorical way of criticizing the GOP in favor of the Dems or a legitimate heads up so as to preclude the GOP from shooting themselves in the foot. I know not nor care not; the context is the key. Indeed, federal judiciary? Like most things american, the federal courts are rife with corruption. Since when should politics trump (includes corrupt judge maryanne trump barry, and shiff, matz, etc. ) judicial integrity and experience? Answer: since america beyond the propaganda is what inherently criminal, pervasively corrupt defacto is what america truly is and has been. Examples of federal judicial corruption already include the likes of sam alito among others, who though incompetent and corrupt and unequivocally deserving of jail time, sits now on the u.s. supreme court (  http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm  , and infra).

 

 

 

The Post’s View Drawdown in Afghanistan Why should troops die this year if U.S. is leaving next year? (Washington Post) [ Indeed! But the larger question is why should they have died in Afghanistan at all? Well, the answer’s simple, even beyond the military industrial complex / war profiteer thing. It’s not a question of the heroes in; but rather, it’s all about the heroin. Yes, heroin! That icky, sticky highly addictive and devestating drug that the most sordid of organized crime ilk here and abroad find so appealing and lucrative. And, it’s ‘high time’ for this very newspaper (among all others and media) to step up and say what everyone with a computer and internet connection with a desire to know already knows; viz., the u.s. government is in the illegal drug business (including heroin, cocaine, etc.) in a very big way. Back when I brought a RICO action involving drug money laundering (see infra) I never in my wildest dreams could have thought that reality to be so, yet indeed it is so.

 

Drug war hypocrisy: drug trafficking’s big money benefits Big Brother and corrupt banksters  PF Louis | The hypocrisy of the war on drugs is centers on the amount of drug trafficking that benefits the CIA and international banking system.

The son of a convicted notorious mobster, John Gotti Jr, when asked in court if the family still dealt drugs cracked, “No, we can’t compete with the government.”

Today in Afghanistan, American troops have been seen guarding poppy fields used to make heroin. Those fields were all but wiped out by 2001 when the Taliban destroyed them and forbade that agricultural pursuit. Now they’re flourishing again after the American occupation.

This doesn’t make sense despite all the mainstream reports that American troops are protecting the poppy farmers from the bad guys. Internet sites such as Prison Planet, Info Wars, The Political Coffeehouse and others report otherwise. They connect the CIA and US military to restarting the poppy fields in Afghanistan in 2002, increasing poppy growth by over 650 percent. Who’s telling it like it is?

One way the CIA keeps their drug trafficking hidden from public view

The CIA’s secret operations to influence journalism started in the 1950s by infiltrating the media and bribing journalists to be operatives and assets for the CIA. By 1976, then CIA director William Colby reportedly bragged that the CIA owned the press. Supposedly, this too secret to name operation was coined “Operation Mockingbird” by Deborah Davis in her book Katherine the Great.

Operation Mockingbird worked well against prize winning journalist Gary Webb when his newspaper, the San Jose Mercury News, ran his in depth series on CIA drug trafficking that flooded the USA to help finance the CIA backed Nicaraguan Contras during the 1980s.

Journalists all over the USA jumped on the series, claiming Webb’s journalism was shoddy. The newspaper had to recant and fire him, and Gary Webb was black listed from mainstream journalism completely.

 

Webb retaliated by having his book Dark Alliance published and making the NY Times best seller list, forcing some of his critics to privately eat crow after the fact.

Despite the CIA’s control of the press, a few Mexico and Central America cocaine busts of plane cargoes and discoveries of large cocaine stashes on crashed planes with CIA hired pilots flying them for front companies did hit the mainstream news, albeit briefly.

Remember the movie “Air America?” It was based on an actual CIA owned front company transporting tons of heroin from Southeast Asia’s “Golden Triangle” poppy fields during and after the Vietnam conflicts. Now Afghanistan and the “Golden Crescent” are the featured opium/heroin conduit sources.

Government and big business using drug traffic profits is nothing new

When the U.S. government made deals with the Cosa Nostra mafia to help police ports and harbors during WW II, they breathed life into the heroin trade. Eventually, Marseilles, France was set up by the Corsican mafia to become the “French Connection” for heroin traffic.

But opium trade history goes back further, to colonial times and early America. That’s when American shipping magnates used their fast Clipper Ships to compete with England’s monarch sanctioned dope running East India Company for transporting opium to China.

A few key players created family fortunes from the China opium trade that exist today within some northeast America’s “old money” families.

Among the familiar family names, according to Wikipedia (source below) is Forbes. Another source mentions Astor, a prominently wealthy philanthropic family around New York today (Wiki source below). In those days, trafficking dope was a legitimate business endeavor, immoral but not illegal.

Now it is illegal as well. Ironically, this allows the biggest illicit drug providers to financially benefit the CIA and international banking.’

Congressional earmarks sometimes used to fund projects near lawmakers' properties EXCLUSIVE | Thirty-three members of Congress have steered more than $300 million in earmarks and other spending provisions to dozens of public projects that are next to or within about two miles of the lawmakers’ own property, according to a Washington Post investigation.

Guest Post: Counterfeit Money, Counterfeit PolicyCounterfeiting is illegal because it is the false creation of value. The counterfeiter takes low-value paper and turns it into high-value money, which is fundamentally a claim on the real productive value of the economy that issues the currency and recognizes it as a proxy means of exchanging that productive value. Counterfeiting is illegal because the counterfeiter creates no additional value--he creates only the proxy for value. Creating real value--adding meaningful goods or services to the economy--is tedious, hard work. How much easier to simply transform near-worthless paper into a claim on actual goods and services.  If this is illegal, then would somebody please arrest the Board of the Federal Reserve for counterfeiting? The Fed has blatantly printed money without creating any real value to back up their added claims on productive value. Hence they are counterfeiting, pure and simple. A government based on rule of law would arrest these fraudsters and cons at the earliest possible convenience.

(Washington Post) [ So much for nobody being above the law! I quite agree that absolutely no ambiguity; indeed, no ‘wiggle room’ whatsoever should be countenanced in this ‘legislation’. Actually, an outright ban would be a more ‘cut and dry’ approach and desirable. Objections? Don’t run for office if you don’t like the rule. After all, Washington politics has strayed a long way from being a ‘public service sacrifice’ to rather an extravagantly accoutered, very costly to the public, but lucrative end in itself; and worse, regardless of results (the fiefdoms seem to be self-perpetuating). Yet, it still comes down to the meaningfulness of the laws, particularly relative to arbitrary enforcement; and, for those who believe the ‘courts’ will apply those laws as written and intended, I’m constrained to say from direct experience: ‘You don’t get out much!’ http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm     http://albertpeia.com/stansberrycorruptiondeclineofamerica.htm  http://albertpeia/americangovernmentdrugtrafficking.htm     http://albertpeia/americascorruptiondrugtrade.htm

Say it isn’t so; that is, ‘Jimbo’, as in the ghost of the great Jim Morrison of ‘Doors’ fame who as ‘the lizard man’ reminds ‘the newt man’ that, “There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors (of perception.” Aldous Huxley); and, then he breaks out in the famed refrain,

 

This is the end

Slimy Newt Man

The end you dumb rear end

 

Your door you whore,

The full moon’s allure

Colony no more!

he put his boots on,
he took a face from the ancient gallery,
and he walked on down the hall.
He went to the room where his sister lived,
and then he paid a visit to his brother,
and then he walked on down the hall.
And he came to a door,
and he looked inside,
"Father?"
"Yes, son?"
"I want to kill you.
Mother I want to....."
Come on, baby, take a chance with us,
and meet me at the back of the blue bus... x 3
Come on, yeah.

 

 

 

With Mitt and Newt, pragmatic vs. epic The policy differences between Romney and Gingrich reflect their contrasting personalities  (Washington Post) [ Let’s not get too dramatic here! Epic? I don’t think so; at least as long as you’re counting full moon lunacy.

 

Gingrich: Today’s college students are coddled (Washington Post) [ Oh riiiiight, Ché Newty the Revolutionary! They’ve got no jobs and an insurmountably bankrupt nation to look forward to thanks in large part to you, your ilk, your peers, wobama et als; and, notably, through no fault of their own. Besides, says newty, ‘kids, they comb their hair in that funny way’.  Riiiiight, snooty newty, there’s those ‘janitorial jobs’ for which there are even waiting lists of applicants for even those jobs according to reports. Say anything, Ché Newty the Revolutionary! As per wobama, words are cheap; but as we all now know, ultimately very costly when they’re more rhetoric / b***s*** than truth / reality!  Gingrich turns to advisers who believe supply-side economics is the answer Advisers believe solution to nation’s deficit is to spur growth through tax cuts and deregulation. (Washington Post) [ Oh riiiiight! Worked like a charm in creating the last few fraud-induced debacles in this ongoing crisis, and the trickle never quite seems to trickle down that far. Yet, it appears the slimy newt’s found a kindred spirit in that malleable italian, peter ferrara ( ‘Peter Ferrara describes himself as Gingrich’s chief economic policy adviser and has won praise from Gingrich on the campaign trail. A lawyer and libertarian scholar who had long advocated privatizing Social Security — and once acknowledged taking payments from Jack Abramoff to write favorable op-ed pieces about the lobbyist’s clients — Ferrara said he talks to Gingrich almost daily…’), and the frauds on wall street will just love his social security privatization / new blood for the infamous blood-sucking squid (goldman sachs), to keep the ponzi padded with fresh dough once again on the backs of taxpayers (kind of a ‘k street’ kind of drain). Focused regulation of areas of the economy prone to fraud, ie., wall street, and deregulation as to others, ie., small businesses, is a more optimal course.( Bribes, Chinese mob ties alleged at Casino of Gingrich money man Sheldon Adelson Denies Wrongdoing as FBI, SEC Probe Alleged Corrupt Practices …).

 

Sargent: Romney camp — Newt ‘erratic, reckless’ (Washington Post) [ Yeah, that slimy newt; erratic, reckless … (n)e(u)rotic, feckless. I’m still on the edge of my chair as to what sweet Nancy’s got on the slimy newt though her lips are sealed even as the daredevil newty says, bring it on, let’s hear what she’s got, which of course newty would already know yet might not register with him given his unconflicted, sociopathic, ‘revolutionary’ nature. Let’s hear it, Nancy!  Pelosi: Gingrich Will Not Get The Nomination, There Is Something I Know CNN | “There is something I know.

Scientists fear end of trips to Mars They’re worried and angry as the White House won’t commit to the plan to explore the red planet.

After all, the nation is defacto bankrupt.  buzz aldrin wants to colonize Mars … Riiiiight buzzed!

They’re probably desperately looking for some money / budgetary consideration for their continued boondoggles. No man has ever set foot on the moon to date. As NASA transitions, U.S. space politics in a state of flux  (Washington Post) [ U.S. space politics? I didn’t know there was such a thing. But I, and I’m sure all know that ‘u.s. politics are spaced’. Flux? One could only hope. I’d say, ‘fleeced’; as in we’ve all been fleeced.  Sterner: 5 myths about NASA   (Washington Post) [ If you can’t get past the first myth; viz., that they actually set foot on the moon, the other 5 so-called myths become irrelevant. Indeed, post-Eisenhower, and certainly post-Kennedy-assassination / coup d’etat, NASA was all military / military industrial complex (moreover, someone knowledgeable about such matters said essentially that in explaining to my surprise the transition to the shuttle program it was said there was greater military application in same). In any event, Russia’s been doing quite a bit of ‘heavy lifting’ vis-ŕ-vis the space station, but not inordinately so. All I can say with certainty is that the universe beyond this solar system is forever protected / insulated. The fact is, they never set foot on the moon; and, in light of the pervasive corruption in and defacto bankruptcy of the nation, their perpetual wars toward making a hell on earth militate against anything but trying to do even just a little bit better (for a start), terrestrially.   NASA wants mission to bring Martian rocks to Earth (AP) Why?

Economy makes election a nail-biter Few of the proposals laid out by the president Tuesday would jump-start the economy before November. ‘Once again, long-winded on rhetorics but short on specifics’ (WP) [ No … it’s not the economy that makes the election a nail-biter. Rather, it’s wobama’s ‘long-winded on rhetorics but short on specifics’ typical b***s*** that makes for this a ‘nail-biter’. No specifics? Indeed! From ‘wobama speak’ we can surmise from this ‘hedge’ that at least he wouldn’t be vulnerable to the legitimate accusations that his actions (and non-actions) belie his words as last time around. As for the economy, it’s all that bad and worse! Are George Soros, The IMF And The World Bank Purposely Trying To Scare The Living Daylights Out Of Us?  [ Short answer: No! The crisis is real! ]   http://albertpeia.com/diretimesahead.htm .

[GOP reactions reflect party divisions Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels makes official response, but Romney and Cain also offer their takes. (WP) [ Although I didn’t listen to / watch wobama’s b***s*** session (his words are absolutely worthless and as last time around, belied by his misguided deeds), I did pay attention to the intelligent, succinct, poignant Republican Response by Mitch Daniels, Gov. Indiana, and confidently say, if he so chooses the path, he will prospectively be President. A way his formidable background and talents could more quickly be brought to the fore would be a Ron Paul / Mitch Daniels ticket which would be a Mitch Daniels candidacy then Presidency in 2016. This would give the nation and the world ‘time to breath’ while recovering from wobama way of  failings / missteps. You can’t ignore Oliver Stone’s sagacious opinion in such matters as these. ( Oliver Stone: I Would Vote For Ron Paul Over Obama  Steve Watson | “He’s the only one who’s saying anything intelligent about the world”. ) His great film anthology speaks for itself and has ‘caught and treated’ some of the most significant, recent american historical ‘breakpoints’.]

 

Limbaugh: Ron Paul “Sounds Like An Islamic Terrorist” Steve Watson | Says he would have no problem with TSA detaining US Congressman. [ Ah, come on. You got to infer something’s supplanted limbaugh’s hillbilly heroin and clouding his judgement. He’s watched too much ‘24’ (while sampling his ‘talk radio’ among others, he’d talk of this show as if reality) ‘under the influence’ which has had the desired mainstream hypnotic effect on his bloated / clouded perspective. ]

 

Obama’s best surrogate Gingrich boosts the president’s reelection prospects. (Washington Post) [ Indeed, that’s what’s being said across the board. You can count on Mr. Milbank having his fingers crossed for a slimy newt candidacy. Snooty newty, literally a self-proclaimed ‘revolutionary’. Che Gingrich! I can almost envision the posters / t-shirts. It’s really quite amazing / tragic! Narcissistic personality disorder? Could be. See here: He’s So Vain, He’d Be Right in Thinking This Post Is About Him By ANDREW ROSENTHAL NYT  http://loyalopposition.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/20/hes-so-vain-hed-be-right-in-thinking-this-post-is-about-him  …You can’t set too much store by press releases from one campaign about another, but I have to say that Mitt Romney’s team has come out with a devastating one. It’s titled, poetically: “‘I think Grandiose Thoughts’ A Selection of Speaker Gingrich’s Thoughts Over The Years.”

It cites some of the most breathtakingly self-congratulatory statements that I’ve ever seen from a politician, and that is a high bar.

Last month: “I think I am a transformational figure.” (Shouldn’t there have been a footnote crediting Barack Obama with that line?)

In 1985, when he was a backbencher in the Reagan G.O.P., to put it generously: “I want to shift the entire planet. And I’m doing it … I represent real power.” (Maybe that explains global warming.)

In 1992, when he was on the verge of becoming Speaker of the House, one of the most non-revolutionary things you can do: “I am essentially a revolutionary.”

And in 2005: “I first talked about [saving civilization] in August of 1958.” It’s fairly impressive that Mr. Gingrich remembers the exact date he first mentioned saving civilization. Too bad it’s now been almost 54 years and he still hasn’t done it.

All politicians love to compare themselves to previous politicians, and Republicans especially love to compare themselves to Abraham Lincoln, whose Republican Party, of course, had no connection to the current one apart from the name. But Mr. Gingrich truly excels at this, as in all other matters egotistical.

The Romney news release, which is carefully sourced, contains examples of Mr. Gingrich likening himself to Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher (another revolutionary, essentially), Woodrow Wilson, Henry Clay, Charles de Gaulle (aren’t Republicans supposed to disdain the French?), William Wallace (from the movie “Braveheart,” not the actual William Wallace); the Duke of Wellington (presumably not for the beef or the boots), Thomas Edison, Vince Lombardi, the Wright brothers, and any old Viking. And Moses…’ [In this respect, viz., potentially suffering from a narcissistic personality disorder, he’s not so different from wobama the b for b***s***]: ‘… During a recent 60 Minutes interview, Barack Obama said that only 3 presidents in U.S. history accomplished more than he did during the first two years of his presidency….

“The issue here is not going be a list of accomplishments. As you said yourself, Steve, you know, I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president — with the possible exceptions of Johnson, F.D.R., and Lincoln — just in terms of what we’ve gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, we’ve got a lot more work to do.”

He had to be joking, right? Sadly, he was not joking…’ The Economic Collapse December 21, 2011 http://albertpeia.com/40piecesevidenceusdecline.htm

 

 

Romney, Gingrich clash sharply in debate The former Massachusetts governor attacked the former House speaker as a failed leader, a K Street influence peddler and a candidate who would put the party at risk in the general election. Gingrich’s firm paid $25,000 a month by Freddie, according to contract (Washington Post) [ True enough, sweet mitt; the slimy newt’s just an unscrupulous peddler; and none other than Frank’s ‘rat pack bro’, the Dino is ushered in from beyond by Frank to croon in his smooth as greecey italian way and warn us all:

 

 

The Peddler’s Serenade {recorded 1962 Dean Martin joined Frank Sinatra's Reprise ... "The Peddler's Serenade" (Jimmy Eaton / J.J. Corvo / Paul McGrane}

 

There’s a peddler and former speaker of the house

Fannie, Freddie writedowns too costly: regulator WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The regulator for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac told lawmakers that forcing the two mortgage firms to write down loan principal would require more than $100 billion in fresh taxpayer funds… [ In other words, like the fed, banks, fannie/freddie are carrying  worthless toxic assets ‘marked to anything’. ]

Krauthammer: The GOP’s suicide march (Washington Post) [ Wow! Mr. Krauthammer must have been having a ‘bad hair day’. Suicide march? I don’t think so. I even was compelled to look up his (vaulted mis)use of ‘manichean’ (definitions infra) in his rather grimly devised piece. Whew! Time to break out the ‘sackcloth and ashes’. I truly have never seen Mr. Krauthammer so ‘off his game’. If one can’t appreciate the ultimate ‘raison d’etre’ for the occupy movement vis-ŕ-vis the egregious, gargantuan, still unprosecuted wall street frauds, clearly, that person’s not been paying attention; and, to ignore same is to do so at the nation’s peril [ Obama flush with financial sector cash The president has managed to raise more money this year from the sector than any GOP contender.

I often point to the stupidity of americans generally, but not so dumb to ignore the most basic math coupled with common sense relative to these nation-debilitating, unjustifiable frauds, boondoggles. At this juncture I feel obliged to state that I haven’t voted for decades (kind of along the lines of ‘George Carlin’s famed defense of his own non-voting record which he justified by reminding all that Hitler came to power in a full, free, democratic election by a landslide’). Yet, on all the ‘big ones’, I’ve always taken a prior position based on the ‘reality’ of the prospective result. May I humbly say, I’ve never, ever been wrong. These are ‘debates’ …’words’… geared toward positioning one or another for the opportunity of the ‘big job’. To expect anything less than at least a ‘little bit of juglar’ is a bit naďve. So calm down Mr. Krauthammer; nothing’s been lost. Testament to Mr. Krauthammer being ‘off his game’ here is his positing of ‘wobama the b for b***s***’ as being smart. Au contraire Mr. Krauthammer! Wobama’s quite dumb! If smart, wobama would have done as he said he would do last campaign, and the nation would have been far better off for it! Parenthetically, look to who’s pushing the censorship bills; now, that’s political desperation! To cheer Mr. Krauthammer up, there’s also that egregious ‘Keystone’ misstep which even The Post’s Editorial Board felt compelled to point out. We’ll just chalk this up to ‘(temporary) situational anxiety disorder’.

After all, if it was a lack of mendacity and meretricious, disingenuous hypocrisy that the media and electorate were looking for, Ron Paul would be surging! And from beyond, we sense Frank’s upset as he croons:

Bang bang, the socar hillbillies sang

So what, his baby shot him down … with blanks!

We’re discontented with candidates that are rented

With grand promises that they’ve invented

 

America’s now a place that’s no oasis

Where life’s weary chase is always in crisis

 

Far from the cries of crime victims in the city,

Where flowers pretty caress the streams

 

Sarcozy to hide in, and war monger side-by-side in

Don’t let lobotomy joe bidin your dreams.

 

Slimy newt flat on his high knee, more war plans from Romney,

Chinese tea for two, and two for Chinese tea,

 

Me for who and you show me, al one!

I'm discontented with homes that are rented
So I have invented my own.

Darling this place is a lover's oasis where life's
weary chase is unknown.

caress the streams.

Cozy to hide in, to love side-by-side in.
Don't let it abide in my dreams.

Picture you upon my knee, just tea for two and two for tea,
Just me for you and you for me, alone! …’

I Love Paris  (Writer(s): Cole Porter) (Recorded 1959, 1960 Frank Sinatra)

 

I love Paris in the spring time
No room for newt on the ballot in the fall
I love seeing newt splinter this winter when he fizzles
I love seeing newt the bummer in summer when it sizzles

 

Newty seems dumber,

Really don’t have to wait for summer,
to see that bummer newty fall

 

 

Ron Paul’s achievement After a quarter-century in the wilderness, he’s within reach of putting his cause on the map. (Washington Post) [ At first blush, I thought by this headline this article to be Mr. Krauthammer’s vailed attempt at sarcasm. After all, as a jewish man himself, I’ve yet to see him take a position that could in any way be even remotely antithetical to israeli interests; and yet, one would have to be blind and dumb not to to realize such zionist / pro-israeli policies as foolishly adopted by the u.s. have been unequivocally antithetical to american interests. The testament to the merger of contraindicated american ‘interests’ with selfishly construed israeli interests was that display of wildly cheering israeli agents on the banks of the palisades in Weehawken, n.j. at the sight of the burning / exploding / symmetrically imploding trade towers (including bldg. 7) on 911 (contriving such a ‘pearl harbor event’ a neocon / military industrial complex / israeli wet dream come true. Later history might even write this as the ‘albatross incident’ for america). The great but substantially underrated President General Eisenhower warned of the military industrial complex whose interests and welfare programs have merged with those of the militant illegal-nuke totin’ israelis whose interests suddenly merged into puppet-in-chief wobama despite wobama’s campaign rhetoric to the contrary upon which he was elected. Parenthetically, President Eisenhower never took any crap from the terrorist begin / israelis in contravention of American interests in the region.  I truly don’t know what being a libertarian means; but I do know that a junkie/thief/methamphetamine addict from virginia who stole some (very valuable to me) items from me here in Socal had a father who was one and he professed being one of sorts himself though questionable (ie., his ‘phony’ business card with an ‘in God we trust’ logo, etc.). The importance of Ron Paul is to point out the unsustainability of ‘same old / same old’ without reason, purpose, advantage to any but the very greedy short-sighted few, though substantially detrimental to the nation. After the cold war’s end, with peace dividend to grace clinton, the substantial achievement of Reagan / Gorbachev, if america had literally ‘done nothing’ rather than having embarked upon the ‘money-eating / war-profiteering’ adventurism along with ‘that engagement thing’ with communist china so hailed by former ambassador to china / cia man bush, no nation could have caught up to and passed america; some and then many have and are destined to do so (what the heck, decades at best anyway). The fed has failed all mandates for which it supposedly exists. They’ve literally helped consummate for the intended benefit of the few, frauds in the trillions, to the substantial detriment of the vast majority and the nation itself (among other culpable acts, ie., $4 trillion missing at the new york fed, over-printing of  the ever more worthless dollars, etc.). For the israeli lobby, reality is a frightful thing. For pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america, reality is also a frightful thing. 

Mitt Romney’s capitalism His record sparks an overdue debate about the system. (Washington Post) [ What system? The american ‘system’ in a nutshell is ‘fraud’ as in fraudulent as in to get ahead in america you must become a criminal, an accomplice, and be sure not to show any scruples whatsoever in so doing. The so-called laws are at best arbitrarily enforced if at all (and used most often to silence both conscience and opposition). Keep quiet (cover-up), you’ll be rewarded (infra); open your mouth or rock the sinking uss titanic and you’ll pay dearly. That’s the so-called ‘system’; with huge government-protected (ie., wall street, etc. ) frauds (infra), government illegal drug distribution (infra), illegal wars / war profiteering / war crimes, etc. (infra), all in plain sight. The only question concerning Romney’s capitalism given his background and the few opportunities for legitimate work in america is whether what he did was legal. There are numerous fortunes being made on wall street by illegal means, still unprosecuted, among other sordid fraudulent schemes and worse, in and out of u.s. politics, including the contrived wars, war crimes, war profiteering, etc., with those cogs in the military industrial complex so warned against by the great but substantially underrated President General Eisenhower profiting exorbitantly. I’m still wondering what these k street schmoozers, carlyle (infra), etc., ‘do’ for their piece of the misguided action, as with lobbies including the likes of gingrich, santorum, etc..

. Barack Obama: The Naked Emperor Shocking but true revelations from David Icke|  infra ‘...Obama is just more of the same, a big smile with strings attached, and controlled completely by those that chose him, trained him, sold him and provided his record funding, kept his many skeletons under wraps, like the gay sex and crack cocaine .. Larry Sinclair (from affidavit: 1. Who is Ron Allen that claims to be with your Presidential camp, who is alleged to claim that someone claiming to represent me called asking for $100,000, to keep me from coming forward about our (Obama and I) November 1999 encounter of sex and cocaine use?), ... Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself .., and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. His financial advisors are straight from the Wall Street 'A' list, including Paul Adolph Volker (Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group), the head of the Federal Reserve from 1979 to 1987 and Illuminati to his fingertips. Obama has made him head of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which is dominated by insiders, including its staff director and chief economist, Austan Goolsbee, a close Obama associate from the University of Chicago. Goolsbee is an initiate of the infamous Illuminati Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, which also includes Boy and Father Bush. It was Goolsbee who told the Canadian government not to worry about Obama's attacks on the economic effects of free trade agreements because his words were just to win votes in the election campaign. Another Wall Street insider, the Zionist Timothy Geithner (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations), was appointed by Obama to be his Treasury Secretary. Geithner was the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the most powerful in the private Federal Reserve cartel that masquerades as America's central bank, and he is a former employee of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the appalling Kissinger Associates. Obama's Treasury team locks into the inner circle around the Zionist Robert Rubin, the Director and Senior Counselor of Citigroup, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and economic advisor to Obama. Rubin, a member of the Illuminati Bilderberg Group, was the man behind Citigroup's strategy of expanding its risk in debt markets which forced it to be rescued by taxpayers' money. The very people who caused the financial crisis are being appointed by Obama to decide how to respond to it (more taxpayers' money for them and their friends)’

 

Romney’s money problem His nomination may be near, but his routine is getting a bit rich. (Washington Post) [ Yet another of those ‘aw come on wobama lover Mr. Milbank moments’. I mean really. Wobama’s are as ‘rich’, and disingenuous at best to say otherwise, and his routine, namely b***s***, is past ‘getting old’. After all, wobama can’t run on his clear record of failure as bush failure 3 with what turns out as before, b***s*** alone. The problem is that there’s nothing that can be said of the republican offerings (except Ron Paul) for which it can’t be said of wobama that he’s been there, done that in contravention of all prior campaign promises, to the substantial detriment of the nation. Even his new ‘displacement’ as chief of staff’s a ‘wall street inside man’ (Drudgereport: FLASHBACK: Daley planned to leave AFTER election...  ,  Michelle (a black) distressed about power of 'white Irish Catholic'...  ,  New Obama Chief of Staff: Former Hedge Fund Exec at CITI, Made Money off Mortgage Defaults... (even Castro’s correct on this obvous point regarding the duplicitous wobama ) Castro: 'Robot' better than Obama, Republicans...  . Obama missing the mark on defense? President Obama’s defense strategy — and the assumptions underlying it — need a closer look. (Washington Post) [ I really don’t know what the editorial board really is; but that’s the only reason I’m commenting here (on this one) given their most recent, shocking ‘contributions’ to the discourse. First, let’s begin with a  fundamental reality; viz., america is hopelessly and insurmountably defacto bankrupt (34 Shocking Facts About U.S. Debt That Should Set America On Fire With Anger  http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com   ‘We have all been lied to.  For decades, the leaders of both major political parties have promised us that they can fix our current system and that they can get our national debt under control.  As the 2012 election approaches, they are making all kinds of wild promises once again.  Well you know what?  It is all a giant sham.  The United States has gotten into so much debt that there will be no coming back from this.  The current system is irretrievably broken… Professor Laurence J.

Second, I’d like to know how these unaffordably expensive military industrial complex (warned against by the great but substantially underrated President General Eisenhower) welfare programs have succeeded in accomplishing anything but the defacto bankruptcy of this nation, created fortunes for the war profiteering few, while fomenting (justifiable) anti-american sentiment globally (that ‘destructive thing’ that rational people abhor). Third, $489 billion in cuts over 10 years (however ‘sold’, ie., ‘new strategy’) is nothing relative to the enormity and insurmountability of the nation’s debt. What need’s a closer look is not so much the ‘new strategy’; but rather that failed abhorrent old strategy, however repackaged, and those who made it. After all, it doesn’t matter so much what they say, as it does what they do. A glaring example is the ‘war on drugs’ given america’s unequivocal involvement in same (infra). As for wobama missing the mark on defense, there isn’t anything whatsoever that wobama hasn’t missed the mark on. Obama flush with financial sector cash The president has managed to raise more money this year from the sector than any GOP contender. (WP) [ So much for obama and OWS; but how ‘bout wobama and obs … yes, more ‘obama b*** s*** !

(Washington Post) [ As such, the same salvos levied against slimy newt are aposite here and reiterated. Yet, I’m still non-plused by santorum equating same-sex marriage (as a heterosexual myself I can’t say that I’m wild about that idea) with polygamy (truth be told it could be easy for me to picture being wild about that idea). I haven’t yet looked closely at santorum, candidly speaking; and, know him only by his contraindicated and preposterous ‘soundbites’ in defense of nation-bankrupting neo-con geopolitics (wars) and have previously referred to him as a ‘lightweight’ thereby.

FRANK SINATRA LYRICS: " I WANNA BE AROUND "
(J. Mercer, S. Vimmerstadt)
[Recorded June 9, 1964, Los Angeles]
I wanna be around to pick up the pieces when somebody breaks your heart,
Somebody twice as smart as I.
Somebody who will swear to be true like you used to do with me,
Who'll leave you to learn that misery loves company, wait and see.
I wanna be around to see how he does it when he breaks your heart to bits,
Let's see if the puzzle fits, so fine,
And that's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet,
As I sit there applauding from a front row seat,
When somebody breaks your heart like you broke mine.
That's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet,
As I sit there applauding from a front row seat,
When somebody breaks your heart like you broke mine,
Like you, like you broke mine.

(Washington Post) [ Wow! Slimy newt’s Muskie moment. Mom or no, he of all slime bags should know that ‘Big Boys Don’t Cry’; oh, excuse me, that’s ‘Big Girls Don’t Cry’. What to do … to cheer up the maudlin newt? Yes … once again from beyond, the sultry, soothing, sound of Frank provides the answer: { ‘Send in the Clowns’ -Full song, real lyrics with intro by Frank, infra:(Stephen Sondheim)[Recorded June 22, 1973, Hollywood] }

newt here at last on the ground and his campaign in mid-air

For some Hill Republicans, fear of a Newt Gingrich nomination  Republican lawmakers, strategists fear Gingrich would jeopardize GOP prospects for control of Congress. (Washington Post) [ Fear indeed! Fear and loathing in fact is more descript; and, not just by Hill Republicans, to be sure. Then, ominously from beyond, another warning from the ghost of Frank (‘My Way’ Writer:Anka Composer:François,Revaux) : … ‘Regrets, newt’s had a few, but then again, too many to mention’ … Indeed, far too many, and, despite crocodile tears from the duplicitous ‘slimy newt’, his unconflicted nature regarding such things means there are probably so many such things worthy of regret that he’s all but unelectable as president ( speaking of newts, amphibians, throw in an arachnid for good measure, think of that fable of the’ frog and scorpion crossing the river’ and the ‘all in his nature thing’). Romney: Newt Gingrich an ‘extremely unreliable’ conservative leader  EXCLUSIVE | In a Washington Post interview, Mitt Romney says he has been more consistent than his rival. (Washington Post) [ Yes … we can hear the ghost of Frank sweetly serenading us with a foreboding and warning regarding the ‘slimy newt’ based on his hit tune (‘Call me irresponsible’ Writer(s): Cahn/Van Heusen):

Call him irresponsible - call him unreliable
Throw in undependable too
Do his foolish alibis bore you
Well he’s not too clever – he just adores trumpish people we should boo

Call him unpredictable - tell him he’s impractical
Pots of gold at ends of rainbows he’s inclined to pursue
Call him irresponsible - yes newt’s unreliable
But it's undeniably true – newt’s irresponsibly mad for madman trump et als too

 

 

Full song, real lyrics with intro by Frank:

‘Send in the Clowns’ (Stephen Sondheim)[Recorded June 22, 1973, Hollywood]

[Spoken intro]
This is a song about a couple of adult people who have spent, oh, quite a long time
together, till one day
one of 'em gets restless and decides to leave. Whether it's the man or woman who left is unimportant.
It's a breakup.
It's a lovely marriage of words and music, written by Stephen Sondheim.


Isn't it rich? Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground and you in mid-air
Send in the clowns

Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around and one who can't move
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns

Just when I stopped opening doors
Finally finding the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair

Sure of my lines
Nobody's there

Don't you love a farce? My fault, I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want, sorry my dear
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns
Don't bother they're here

Isn't it rich? Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns
Well, maybe next year

 

Financial Troubles For Many Nations In The New Year Bob Chapman | 2012 is going to be quite a year with falling economies in the UK, Europe, the US, China, Japan and the remainder of Asia. Ron Paul’s poll numbers are up in Iowa (Washington Post) [ As indeed they should be if people are truthful about wanting real change for the better. Historical headwinds Gingrich, Romney and Paul against the odds. (Washington Post) [ This is without doubt the most disappointing article by an otherwise invariably clear thinking Mr. Will. I’m glad for his disclosure (the Perry link) inasmuch as at least there is the possibility of a modicum of reason behind what otherwise would constitute a total ‘lack of reason’. Mr. Will sets forth some interesting tidbits of a category of sorts of history as if prepping for a round of Jeopardy, so obscure as they are. Relevance to today, that is also as obscure. If Mr. Will, of all people, cannot discern the difference today, from the america of yesterday, one does have to wonder who can. Yet, I do believe the vast majority in america do in fact discern such a difference. Why? Because the magnitude of that reality (of difference) is so great that one would have to be literally brain-dead to not discern it. Pervasively corrupt and quite literally defacto bankrupt, america’s at the cusp of a complete collapse in every way a nation could collapse; viz., financially, economically, politically, geopolitically, and legally. Indeed, so stark are these realities despite organized obfuscation, the same direction / status quo is blatantly untenable to even the most stalwart of ‘stay the course types’. Other than the black vote (roughly 18% according to’the first black president, clinton’) and the relatively few remaining wobama loyalists, I do believe, though belated, it’s human nature for that clear majority to opt for the chance of survival (of a nation) rather than the already worn path of decline as tread by wobama. Then comes the distinction between the failed president wobama and the alternative; Ron Paul being the ‘man, with a plan, that’s not already been ran’. New direction, change is sorely needed; which wobama promised, but never delivered, jive-talking con-man that he is. 

George H.W. Bush said to support Romney (Washington Post) [“I think Romney is the best choice for us,” said poppy bush. Exactly! Though surprisingly candid given his oft shady rhetoric; from read his lips ‘no new taxes’ to ‘he’s thinking anew’, words he ascribed to Lincoln; he really means this ‘us’ thing; not u.s. mind you; but literally us as in the untalented (war) criminal bush clan that spawned two failed presidents and have rested hopes for a third (jebby the judas – or at least a still viable political ‘leeching of america’ position – same for his lying -9/11- buddy tom kean’s son) in the ever increasingly desperate romney. So poor a job did poppy do, he, like ‘wobama the b for b***s***, was a ‘one-termer’ (even bush failure 2 who ranks among the worst presidents in american history, just a notch above wobama –the worst-, got two terms – people were still buying into their self-created ‘national emergency mode’ war propaganda). Then there’s his familial historical ties to fraudulent wall street as well as even hitler et als. But then there’s the military industrial complex so warned against by the great but underrated President General Eisenhower that stands to gain by the bush league approach and certainly romney’s bellicose rhetoric was made to order to accommodate such fleecing enterprises with wars / conflicts made real thereby. ‘Best choice’ … For whom should be the proper query? There’s the cia (and their illegal drug business and bigger off the grid budgets http://albertpeia.com/CIAAgentAffidavit1.jpg   ), the communist chinese (that engagement thing as former ambassador that’s worked out so marvelously for america while make ‘those few’ very wealthy), the Carlisle Group, etc.. Then there’s aipac, israel, zionist jews, neo-cons, mental-cases like cheney, bolton, etc., and in the case of aipac have been showing their love … not for americans/america, but for ie., romney and themselves… With rise, Ron Paul could be spoiler in GOP presidential race — or kingmaker As the first votes approach in Iowa, the congressman is a serious force with the potential to upend fight. (Washington Post) [ Spoiler? Kingmaker? How ‘bout ‘the candidate’! If there’s one thing far more scrutinizing eyes than those of the so-called mainstream are apt to point out (ie., Tyler Durden, Jones, Watson, etc.), it’s that the nation hasn’t fared so well with the so-called ‘establishment / mainstream candidates / favorites’. In fact, as we all know, the substantially compromised mainstream candidates with substantially compromised mainstream positions have proven to be downright disastrous for the nation, the people, and the world generally. The time has come in light of realities to say, borrowing the words from Robert Kennedy … Why not? There is no rational argument that militates against a Ron Paul who calls things as they are. After all, whether people like to admit it or not, the fed (like wobama the b for b***s***) has failed virtually all of their mandates. Moreover, the bernanke fed’s policies have helped the frauds / perps (biggest still unprosecuted) on wall street to the detriment of literally everyone else. The same is true of the military industrial complex war-welfare plans as warned against by the great but substantially underrated President General Eisenhower in terms of the few they so favored at everyone else’s expense. The examples go on and on and are too numerous to list. Rogers: Paul is short on appeal (Washington Post) [ Yeah … he ain’t pretty … but this ain’t a beauty contest … Moreover, what has appeal gotten the nation? … where has appeal gotten the nation to? … 4 years of wobama’s ‘appeal’ aka b***s*** has left the nation in the toilet at best, cesspool at worst; and, in large part owing to the glaring fact that if ‘wobama the b for b***s***’ had done what he said he’d do and didn’t, the nation prospects, though still ominous, would have been substantially enhanced. For all but Paul, it’s the failed ‘same old, same old’ which is, as per paraphrasing Einstein, neither a plan, nor strategy, but rather insanity. Gingrich’s time of testingTHE TAKE | Can Gingrich survive rivals’ attacks, build a campaign that sustains his candidacy? (Washington Post) [ ‘Time of testing’? Oh, but he has been tested … scandal-scarred like no other, he has been found wanting … too much … not for the nation, but himself … he’s already failed any and all tests.  Newspaper Chaired By Private Equity Head Shockingly Endorses Mitt Romney For President; Ron Paul On Jay Leno   A few hours ago the Des Moines Register threw its support behind the Bain Capital founder, and the man now known to have actively destroyed any trace of his public "service" before his 2007 Massachusettes office handover (with a pending response to a Reuters FOIA, which will disclose just what it was that Romney was so tenuously shredding). Because according to the Iowan newspaper, Mitt Romney "is the best to lead" America, although into what, is not quite clear - perhaps the biggest Fed funded LBO (with a Bain Capital $1 mezz piece) of all time, that of America? We don't know. And neither does the Register's editorial board. What they do know are hollow adjectives, such as "sobriety", "wisdom" and "judgment" which somehow are applicable to Romney, if not so much "betting" and "shredding." Those looking for a late night laugh can read the OpEd below (link to tomorrow's front page here). And ironically, while likely set to provide a very short-term boost to Romney's chances, it is the baseless ongoing accusations against Ron Paul that will likely solidify the groundswell behind the Texan, with such desperate platitudes as "Ron Paul's libertarian ideology would lead to economic chaos and isolationism, neither of which this nation can afford." Because what America certainly needs is more of that old ideology of doing everything just the same and hoping for the best, because if there is anything Romney's would be predecessors have taught us is that hope apparently is a credible strategy. But perhaps most relevant is the reminder that the Des Moines Register is a Gannett company whose Chairman just happens to be one Marjorie Magner, whose bio reads: 'Ms. Magner, 61, is Managing Partner of Brysam Global Partners, a private equity firm investing in financial services firms with a focus on consumer opportunities in emerging markets founded in January 2007. She was Chairman and CEO of Citigroup's Global Consumer Group from 2003 to 2005.

In N.H., Romney steps up attacks on Gingrich(Washington Post) [ Yeah … he’d better get going, ratchet up the rhetoric; after all, slimy newt’s just gotten the endorsement of ‘celebrity mobster madman’s (trump’s) apprentice’, ‘gary the b’ (for berserk) busey (most notable for his role in the film ‘Tomcats’ as the guy with only half a pair of b**ls!) (Drudgereport: Gary Busey Endorses Gingrich... ). Five myths about Ron Paul  (WP) [ For me, the litmus test for any candidate, though somewhat personalized, is generally applicable to the entire national electorate. It falls within that very broad category; viz., ‘been there, done that’. It is no mystery that the current wobama regime, et als are trying in every which way to censor, obstruct, and otherwise control the free-flow of information, particularly now the internet, which really works against failed administrations as that currently in place. By every measure you can gauge the success or failure of a presidency, wobama the b for b***s*** is an abject failure. There is not one reason based upon what he said he would do last time around, didn’t do, but as we now know had he done as he said the nation would have clearly been better off this day. He basically continued the policies of the prior failed presidency of war criminal dumbya bush, including the same or similarly connected players, despite having campaigned vociferously condemning same  (CIA lawyer says Obama administration backed and continued virtually all Bush-era programs Natural News ). Clinton was the luckiest of all recent presidents in having the benefit of the peace dividend to smooth things over, by way of the one and only but very significant accomplishment of Reagan / Gorbachev; yet, he found ways through deep-seated mental issues to fail, which we all endured as if watching a soap opera unfold. Incompetent george h.w. bush (‘poppy’) was basically the ‘cia in disguise’ which kept up the ops which included that snookering of then american proxy, sadam hussein, by u.s. ambassador april glaspie (see more here infra) (george h.w.bush was also ambassador to communist china and we all know how that’s turned out for america; but, ‘they’ and ‘theirs’ have made a bundle.. poppy and clinton were tied by ‘virtue’ of their cia / Mena, Arkansas cocaine drop / connection [ for me that connection was devastating to my RICO case which involved the laundering of drug money through the trump casinos in atlantic city,n.j., and poppy is after all, war criminal dumbya bush’s father ( see ie., http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm     , and, america also leads in the illegal drug trade, infra ) . .. calls for impeachment ..‘fast and furious debacle’.  Despite campaign promises, there have been no high level prosecutions of the wall street frauds which are still extant in the trillions. That ‘8%’ unemployment; don’t completely dismiss same as they may just have enough of their stand-ins to work exactly 1 day to be counted;that’s at best... as they’ve done, manipulate/fudge/outright lie about the numbers (actual unemployment is beyond 15%). Gingrich actually carved out exceptions for fraudulent wall street to the applicability of the RICO Act to their frauds, among many other unscrupulous acts which will emerge; along with having sought the endorsement of mobster, mental case trump.. romney follows suit with a trip to kiss the ring of failed president poppy bush while cow-towing as all but Paul to the israeli lobby. So I, as should be so for the entire nation, say results count. (For me, it’s resolution of those corrupted RICO matters). Reality counts. What’s gone before has failed;new direction, policies are required. After all, Einstein did say, paraphrasing, ‘doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result’ is insanity. Ron Paul’s still standing!

 

America’s shine is wearing off I know why we are falling into a cataclysm of debt and can’t get out. (WP) [ Ah, yes. The Puritans. Of noble purpose, religious freedom, freedom generally did they come to these shores. A rare exception to the influx of immigrants to this young nation who turned out to be more a virus to the indigenous peoples of this land than what could have been expected from those of noble calling. Indeed, in evolutionary terms, it’s doubtful that those so positioned abroad would have represented a positive addition to the gene pool which, borrowing from an insurance term, viz., adverse selection, springs forth the notion of inevitability to the genocide of the indigenous populations while guaranteeing the decline we see throughout this foundering nation. The effects of these negative predispositions toward inherent criminality is certainly being felt globally as well as domestically and has little to recommend it. My own direct experience with the region(s) (particularly new jersey, new york, virginia, connecticut, california) carves out no exception for the prevalence of the worst of human nature; which is now collectively and pervasively americana.  Though having but 5% of the world’s population, the u.s. has 76% of the world’s serial killers,          http://www.albertpeia.com/realifeamericaserialkillers.mpg     bankrupt america also spends more on military than all the nations of the world combined... fed employees / contractors, cia, all 3 branches of u.s. gov’t, etc., are included in this evolved american trait of inherent criminality  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm        Cases against Wall Street lag despite Holder’s vows to target financial fraud  WP Obama has promised to hold Wall Street accountable for the meltdown.    America Is a Failed State Because It Won’t Prosecute Financial Crime  Washington’s Blog / the grim economic reality   [  http://albertpeia.com/grimreality.htm

SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE DEBT LIMIT
Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

ATF Chief Melson:Justice Department trying to shield officials (LATimes) Serrano

 

I believe him!


 I truly empathize with the ATF in terms of government cover-ups, notably by even the DOJ. You’ll recognize some familiar names (ie., Alito, Trump, Freeh (Louis Freeh now has dual citizenship with Italy), and some familiar crimes (ie., drug money laundering, etc. – real cash cow for gov’t ops, bribes, etc.). [Did you know this about the following ATF Agents who were probably viewed as loose ends: Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeahan & Conway LeBleu:   Died February 28, 1993 by gunfire at Waco. All four were examined by a pathologist and died from identical wounds to the left temple. All four had been body guards for Bill Clinton, three while campaigning for President and when he was Governor of Arkansas.They also were the ONLY 4 BATF agents killed at Waco. ]

 

 

 

Here’s some real, complicit cover-up / fraud on the part of the federal government, et als:

Federal Bureau of Investigation, USDOJ
11000 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1700

Los Angeles, CA 90024

 

 

Dear Sir:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer’s browser) as per your office’s request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I’ve installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named ‘112208opocoan’). The (civil) RICO action (as you’re aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBI’s LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did – he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? – and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation – Andrew Maloney’s the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

Iraq

from the book

The CIAs Greatest Hits

by Mark Zepezauer

 

‘The Gulf War of early 1991 didn't change much. Our old buddy, the despotic Emir of Kuwait, is back on his throne. Our former buddy, Saddam Hussein, while knocked down a peg or two, is still in power and as brutal as ever. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis are dead, hundreds of US veterans are suffering from a mysterious disease, and the Persian Gulf has been ravaged by the largest oil spill in history. The question naturally arises, could any of this have been avoided?

The whole dispute started because Kuwait was slant-drilling. Using equipment bought from National Security Council chief Brent Scowcroft's old company, Kuwait was pumping out some $14-billion worth of oil from underneath Iraqi territory. Even the territory they were drilling from had originally been Iraq's. Slant-drilling is enough to get you shot in Texas, and it's certainly enough to start a war in the Mideast.

Even so, this dispute could have been negotiated. But it's hard to avoid a war when what you're actually doing is trying to provoke a war.

The most famous example of that is the meeting between Saddam and the US Ambassador to Iraq, April Glaspie, five days before Iraq invaded Kuwait. As CIA satellite photos showed an Iraqi invasion force massing on the Kuwaiti border, Glaspie told Hussein that "the US takes no position" on Iraq's dispute with Kuwait.

A few days later, during last-minute negotiations, Kuwait's foreign minister said: "We are not going to respond to [Iraq]....If they don't like it, let them occupy our territory....We are going to bring in the Americans." The US reportedly encouraged Kuwait's attitude.

Pitting the two countries against each other was nothing new. Back in 1989, CIA Director William Webster advised Kuwait's security chief to "take advantage of the deteriorating economic situation in Iraq to put pressure on Iraq.'' At the same time, a CIA-linked think tank was advising Saddam to put pressure on the Kuwaitis.

A month earlier, the Bush administration issued a secret directive that called for greater economic cooperation with Iraq. This ultimately resulted in billions of dollars of illegal arms sales to Saddam.

The Gulf War further destabilized the region and made Kuwait more dependent on us. US oil companies can now exert more control over oil prices (and thus boost their profits). The US military got an excuse to build more bases in the region (which Saudi Arabia, for one, didn't want) and the war also helped justify the "need" to continue exorbitant levels of military spending. Finally, it sent a message to Third World leaders about what they could expect if they dared to step out of line.’

43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock  Zero Hedge
October 17, 2011
By now everyone has had a chance to play with the US debt clock. But what about its global cousin? Courtesy of The Economist, we now have a convenient way to track the hundreds of millions in dollars added each and every hour by the global governments who see to spur global deleveraging by, you guessed it, adding more debt. Yes, in the process the world’s sovereigns are transferring default risk away from global corporations to sovereigns, but few in the #OWS crowd appear to have yet figured out this rather disturbing and very insidious usurpation of sovereignty by the global corporatocracy, so said risk and leverage transfer will continue until such time as any and all paper backed by these insolvent corporate shells (f/k/a countries) is completely worthless. Regardless, one should not forget that like in the sandalone case, the “debt clock” below only tracks on balance sheet debt. Should one add the NPV of all “welfare state” obligations (pensions, retirement, healthcare), the number will be well over quarter of a quadrillion dollars. Have fun funding that, never mind paying it off…

After all, with all china’s faults, not the least of which is communism (I’m definitely not their advocate), one must realistically ask, ‘what nation(s), based on lies and for the sake of military industrial complex profits (as warned against by the great but underrated President General Eisenhower) has been engaged in Orwellian perpetual war despite defacto bankruptcy and pervasive corruption’? Not China… Eureka! Amerika et als!  Inflation Calls BS on the China “Miracle”  http://albertpeia.com/inflationinchina.htm   { For the first time I’m constrained to label a piece by Mr. Summers wishful thinking and a u.s. government propaganda piece at best. While aptly pointing out chinese corruption and fraud as is particularly pervasive in america, he conveniently ignores the success of their primitive, basic, simplistic capitalist business model of low costs (primarily labor, materials, etc.) fueled particularly ab initio by american greed. Go to any store and pick up nearly any product and the likelihood of ‘made in china’ is upwards of 95% (then as well, as with apple, taking into account components). Clearly, Mr. Summers lacks depth of understanding/knowledge concerning costs of tooling, retooling, and manufacturing generally, as well as cost accounting among other business/finance disciplines. As regards their nominal communist system, I remain staunchly opposed to the invariable lie of communism, although the meaningfully lawless (‘too big to fail or jail’) and corrupt, oligarchical crony faux capitalist welfare dependent failing (and ever more socialist) system in america is hardly a laudable alternative.  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm  http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm   .

Why do we prefer the $100 greenback over the $100 trillion note issued by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe? The purchasing power of the Benjamin far exceeds the purchasing power of the $100 trillion bill. But the Benjamin is not immune to inflation; the dollar has lost about 95% of its 1900 purchasing power.  If 95% of households are experiencing a loss of purchasing power and most of the new money and credit are flowing to the top 5%, you get asset bubbles, not demand-driven inflation. When 95% of the households are poorer in terms of purchasing power and financial wealth, where can demand-driven inflation arise in a global economy of massive manufacturing and labor over-capacity? The rise in costs within industries controlled by cartels (healthcare, higher education, defense, etc.) may look like demand-driven inflation, but are actually transfers of wealth and purchasing power from households to the government-protected cartels.  ,   The Great Cyprus Bank Robbery Shows That No Bank Account, No Retirement Fund And No Stock Portfolio Is Safe  http://albertpeia.com/noaccountfundportfoliosafe.htm   ,  After The Banksters Steal Money From Bank Accounts In Cyprus They Will Start Doing It EVERYWHERE  http://albertpeia.com/bankstersstealingagain.htm   ,  The Dark Truth About The Safety Of Your “Savings”  http://albertpeia.com/bankrunsandsystemicfailure.htm   ,  Marketwatch  Jeff Reeves 10 signs of a tumble    http://albertpeia.com/stockstotumble.htm    ,  Will The Banking Meltdown In Cyprus Be A “Lehman Brothers Moment” For All Of Europe?  http://albertpeia.com/bankingmeltdown.htm  ,  Could Cyprus Blow Up the Entire Banking System?  http://albertpeia.com/bankingsystemcollapse.htm  ,  INVeRTeD EuRo MaRXiSM...

Bass starts by reflecting on the ongoing (and escalating) money-printing (or balance sheet expansion as we noted here) as the driver of stock movements currently and would not be surprised to see them move higher still (given the ongoing printing expected). However, he caveats that nominally bullish statement with a critical point, "Zimbabwe's stock market was the best performer this decade - but your entire portfolio now buys you 3 eggs" as purchasing power is crushed. Investors, he says, are "too focused on nominal prices" as the rate of growth of the monetary base is destroying true wealth. Bass is convinced that cost-push inflation is coming (as the velocity of money will move once psychology shifts) and investors must not take their eye off the insidious nature of underlying inflation - no matter what we are told by the government (as they will always lie when its critical)…”  ,  Post-Hyperinflationary Zimbabwe Welcomes The Holidays With 80% Unemployment, Empty ATMs And Paralyzed Transport  { Just another typical nigger!

You might recall the last SC deal was in the summer of 2011 and markets struggled mightily.Unfortunately for us enough technical damage had been done the past two weeks that trends became uncertain. Now bulls are playing catch-up with large news-driven price ramps. Actually there was a confluence of events as the Fed had (and still is) added plenty of liquidity to markets thru QE which accumulated while the fiscal cliff issue froze investments. Further large dividends from before year-end needed to be reinvested. This stash along with what passed for a cliff fix led to the action seen Wednesday.Nothing is really fixed of course since a large tax increase is hitting the economy at a poor time. The payroll tax cut will shrink 77% of American’s income which will hit the so-called middle class. I believe this doesn’t include higher taxes for Obamacare now either. We did get the tax issue resolved but spending cuts didn’t take place in any meaningful way. In fact, the CBO scored the cliff tax fix as adding $4 trillion to the deficit over the next 10 years—some fix eh?

Tomorrow is the Mayan doomsday prophecy and/or perhaps a fiscal cliff deal. I believe Obama was slated to leave for a Hawaiian holiday, but that may be postponed.The Executive branch and the Senate and House of Representatives each has a role to play in the budget process. The congress is divided. Compromise is the only solution as in, “I’ll give you X and you give me Y”. This is the way it should go but the House and WH are wide apart with only some give around the edges. The House Speaker, John Boehner, through a bill is publicly putting his side’s agenda to a vote. So that’s a marker from which to negotiate theoretically. And, yes, the Senate will not take up the bill if passed so as not to legitimize it. Perhaps by the time you read this the world will have ended making this analysis moot. Jobless Claims rose (361K vs 359K expected & prior revised higher to 344K). The previous lower report may have been an outlier. The average for 2012 is demonstrated below and this report remains near the average.  http://albertpeia.com/daveschart122012no1.gif   GDP final Q3 data was at 3.1% which was greater than prior estimate of 2.7%.

The Republican ploy is to say they’ve voted to raise taxes on the rich. Then they would allow the country to go over the cliff after transmitting this vote and forcing the WH to “own” the damage. That must be their thinking. It’s a gamble obviously but Boehner’s base has shown no support for WH plans or to roll over and violate all their principles.This left bulls somewhat shaken as stocks fell sharply after the GOP announcement but there are more rounds left in this stand-off. Stocks were overbought recently and a little rest was in order. In other words, Bulls had taken it as a given the cliff would be avoided. It still may be. We’ll just have to live with the volatility until a deal is done or not.Housing Starts fell 3% but Building Permits rose 3.6%.

Interestingly, I had occasion to know a very intelligent, learned man who was indeed dying, in a death spiral if you will. A lawyer by profession, he had taken an interest in another lawyer’s history; none other than Abraham Lincoln himself. Curiously I thought at the time, though even then, some decades ago (long before the internet), I realized that you were never getting the whole, correct, true story from american media, history as written, etc.. ( I was fortunate in sixth grade to have had a great teacher, James Bresnahan, who allowed for ‘expansive’/accelerated learning in what he took the time and trouble to provide as an advanced reading group. Among the subjects was that knowledge/thinking tainting phenomena known more commonly as propaganda). After all, a long dead president; and, one who famously suffered from recurring bouts of severe depression could hardly be the object of, from my view, intense intellectual interest and scrutiny. Yet, he was fixated on what he deemed a somewhat surprising revelation; viz., from his intense study, Abe was not ‘Honest Abe’ but rather, was a thief. I was aware that in fact, Lincoln found niggers somewhat appalling and initially opposed ending slavery as well as those who favored same, viz., the abolitionists, etc. (niggers are a same old old story of lazy, unproductive, inherently very uncivilized criminal people who are fun-luvin’ for games, partying, and getting high only.  Even the incisive Shakespeare euphemistically referred to the ‘typicality’ of the inherently untrustworthy and without sense of honor, ‘noir’ [french for black]). The ultimate consummate politician (as a lawyer, Lincoln famously took a contrary position not long before saying he thought he then was right but now taking the opposite position now knew he was right … riiiiight! ‘Honest Abe’), Lincoln ultimately did, in rallying his ‘stalwarts’, back the abolitionist cause. I personally feel the people of the south were foolish in bringing vanquished niggers, sold into slavery by other niggers who vanquished them, to this already now recently blemished land. Moreover, as today, the niggers (and the abolitionist cause) had provided fodder for politics of  all sorts, including that of Lincoln. Indeed, even today, spielberg who is famous for his pro-jewish ‘politicking’/propaganda (even the first Indiana Jones movie was heavy on the Arab/Nazi transference propaganda) has found a way to make film-making pay for him and the democratic party by way of the misguided, inaccurate view of Lincoln as the anti-slavery icon he is speciously depicted as. Civil war? Hoffa, like his mob-connected, then disconnected (permanently) father is old news. The truth is that their own done them in (as was so of hoffa’s father) with NAFTA, etc., as they themselves foolishly laughed at their real would-be saviors, ie., Ross Perot, etc.. The reality is, there is literally nothing that can’t be produced better and cheaper and without paying the shake-down bribe from the teamsters et als for doing absolutely nothing (as is true with the other niggers, et als, entitlements, etc.), elsewhere.

The 34 Words That May Have Caused Today's Crash In Stocks There is much consternation about what triggered today's rapid escalation of selling pressure in US stocks. As the evening wends on and traders sip their Absinthe, it appears an embargoed record of the Fed's Advisory Panel minutes was at least a major concern as it raised the very real specter that those in charge are concerned at the monster they have created: "there is also concern about the possibility of a breakout of inflation, although current inflation risk is not considered unmanageable, and of an unsustainable bubble in equity and fixed-income markets given current prices."  "Unsustainable bubble"? And this not from some fringe blog but... bankers?

 

 

Jim Rogers: "Nobody Gets Out Of This Situation Until Theres A Crisis"  { Fatalistic shades reminiscent of Jim Morrison of The Doors fame; and yes, similarly, no one gets out of this (alive). } Jim Rogers was recently interviewed by GoldMoney and had plenty to say (as usual): *On Bernanke: "He doesnt want to be around for the consequences of what hes doing." *On Fiat: "Paper money doesnt have a very glorious history, but again, nothing imposed by the government has a very long and glorious history." *On Europe's Crisis: "You can postpone it all you want, but the problems just mount." *On Capitalism: "You are not supposed to take money away from the competent people and give it to the incompetent so that the incompetent can compete with the competent people with their own money. Thats not the way capitalism is supposed to work."

Is This China's 'Minsky Moment'?

China’s credit growth has been outstripping economic growth for five quarters with the corporate debt bubble looking increasingly precarious (as we explained here and here). This raises one key question: where has the money gone? As SocGen notes, although such divergence is not unprecedented, it potentially suggests a trend that gives greater cause for concern – China is approaching a Minsky moment. At the micro level, SocGen points out that a non-negligible share of the corporate sector and local government financial vehicles are struggling to cover their financial expense. At the macro level, they estimate that China’s debt servicing costs have significantly exceeded underlying economic growth. As a result, the debt snowball is getting bigger and bigger, without contributing to real activity (see CCFDs for a very big example). This is probably where most of China’s missing money went.

Select Highlights From Goldman's End Of Trading Recap

"Some color on the extent of the selling from Laine Litman on the futures desk: Starting 6 minutes before the cash close we saw a strong sell off in ESM3. As predicted, volumes and volatility were high. We sold off 7 handles before the additional quick crash of 4.25 points in the final few seconds. Over 110k contracts traded in the last minute. This is the largest non-quarter end volumes seen since November 2011 (117k) and the largest volumes since June 2012 (111k)."

 

 

The Centrally-Planned World Through The Eyes Of Rocky And Bullwinkle

Some of my first memories of television are of a series called The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, which was a witty combination of animated cartoons about the exploits of the title characters, Rocket "Rocky" J. Squirrel and Bullwinkle J. Moose and their nemeses, two Pottsylvanian nogoodniks spies, Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. The show was filled with current event commentary, political and social satire. The show was also filled with commentary on economic and market conditions that resonated with the parents watching the show while the kids focused on the cartoons. Each show ended with the narrator describing the current cliffhanger with a pair of related titles, usually with a bad pun intended. So let's adapt some of my favorite Rocky and Bullwinkle episode titles to modern day; we might see that there are some political and economic challenges that are timeless, as it appears we have been doing the same thing over and over for decades and expecting different results.

Conspicuous Contrarians, Higher Highs, And Complete Complacency

While stocks could continue to climb higher that does not mitigate the underlying risks. In fact, it is quite the opposite. It is very likely that we are creating one, or more, asset bubbles once again. However, what is missing currently is the catalyst to spark the next major correction. That catalyst is likely something that we are not even aware of at the moment. It could be a resurgence of the Eurocrisis, a banking crisis or Japan's grand experiment backfiring. It could also be the upcoming debt ceiling debate, more government spending cuts, or higher tax rates. It could even be just the onset of an economic business cycle recession from the continued drags out of Europe and now the emerging market countries. Regardless, at some point, and it is only a function of time, reality and fantasy will collide. The reversion of the current extremes will happen devastatingly fast. When this occurs the media will question how such a thing could of happened? Questions will be asked why no one saw it coming.

 

 

The Week That Was: May 27th - May 31st 2013

Succinctly summarizing the positive and negative news, data, and market events of the week...

 

 

Dow Dumps 270 Points Intraday To Biggest 2-Week Drop In Six Months

The Dow Jones Utility Index is down 35% in the last two weeks - the largest drop since March 2009. Across the board, what looked like being a normal BTFD day around midday, equity markets were monkey-hammered lowered with the S&P 500's worst 2-week run in 6 months. The Dow dropped over 270 points intraday (and 400 from its Monday highs) - attributed to a large month-end sell-side imbalance. Equity markets appear to be playing catch-down to credit's warning messages (though stocks are only down 1% from Friday's close, it feels like more as they are -2.5% to 3% from the highs). JPY strengthened into the equity sell-off and commodities all legged lower (with WTI -2.5% on the week and Gold unch) even as the USD weakened 0.5% on the week. The reality of the one-way trade was very evident. Treasuries came well off their worst levels of the day but remain 11-14bps higher in yield on the week. VIX, which had also been sending its warning messages, smashed 1.75 vols higher to 16.25%. It seems a lot will be reflecting on the Dow/NKY convergence and the behavior in Japan this week as they note there was no bounce at all in today's closing crash.

Stocks Slide On Hindenburg Omen Sighting

While there is little gained in figuring out the vacillations in equity 'markets' from one moment to the next, there appear to be three reasons being discussed for this drop in stocks. First, this is the worst  month for the long bond in absolute price deterioration since Dec 2009 - for managers in balanced portfolios, there will need to be a month-end rebalancing 'into' bonds and out of stocks to ensure the weightings remain with their mandates. Second, the index rebalancing is having some effect on the equity market (though that has been well telegraphed). Third, and perhaps more important to some, based on intraday data so far, the much-discussed Hindenburg Omen has been spotted. The last time we were this high in stocks and the Hindenburg was spotted was October 2007...

 

 

Shorting Stocks On These POMO Days In June 'Will' Be Hazardous To Your Health

Having shifted our communication stance from 'may' to 'will' last month, the Fed's upcoming POMO schedule offers some insights into the days when shorting (apart from the obvious Tuesdays) will be dangerous (though the BoJ now stuck may require a communication change back to 'may'). We do note that the Fed POMO'd $44 billion out outright Treasury purchases in May (as expected) and plans to do the same in June with $45 billion pegged (strongly suggesting no Taper anytime soon)... it seems next Friday is your first opportunity (though if the last hour is anything to go by... perhaps the Fed's omniptence is being challenged).

 

 

Meanwhile, In Turkey...

While most of the headlines this week have centered on Syria, Sweden (and Switzerland), Turkey has been cooking and today has broken into full-scale riots. As Reuters reports, Turkish police fired tear gas and water cannon on Friday at demonstrators in central Istanbul, wounding scores of people and prompting rallies in other cities in the fiercest anti-government protests for years. The growing unrest centers on disquiet at the authoritarianism of Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan and his Islamist-rooted Justice and Development Party (who just visited Obama). "We do not have a government, we have Tayyip Erdogan ... Even AK Party supporters are saying they have lost their mind, they are not listening to us." The protests somewhat surprisingly were sparked by the uprooting of trees but rapidly escalated (as seen below) into riot police, water cannon, and tear gas battles as protesters exclaim, "we're fed up... we don't like the direction the country is heading."

 

 

Morgan Stanley Head Of Treasury Trading Busted For... Trading Treasurys While At Goldman

Perhaps there is a reason why Morgan Stanley is 'giving up' on its fixed income business. It seems, yet again Morgan Stanley has hired an ex-Goldman Sachs criminal   opportunistic trader. Glenn Hadden, the very head of interest rate trading at Morgan Stanley, has been found guilty of engaging in trading that violated CME rules in Treasury futures on December 19th 2008 - while was employed by Goldman Sachs. While Goldman faces a $875,000 slap on the wrist, Hadden, somewhat remarkably will face a mere $80,000 fine and the wonderfully timed (given the summer doldrums) 10-day suspension from trading. Doing God's work wherever they trade... that'll teach him! And now, back to Glenn manipulating buying and selling the 10 Year.

 

 

Britain To Arm Syrian Rebels; Russia Retaliates By Shipping 10 MiGs To Assad

Following Russia's first shipment of S-300 Rockets and the CNN-reported deaths of American and British citizens, it seems the situation in Syria is escalating 'behind-the-scenes' with little attention being paid in general. Whether it is the deaths or not, but according to the FT, the 'war-by-proxy' is growing in numbers as the UK is poised to ship arms to some rebel factions in Syria as soon as this summer. "The precise timing has not yet been finalized and no decision has yet been taken. But we are likely to be ... shipping arms to the rebels by August," one official noted, adding that "the rebels need ammunition, and a lot of it, just to keep fighting." The US had secretly undertaken significant lobbying efforts of EU member states to get the EU arms embargo amended and this week Britain and France forced through that deal opening the door for the supply of weapons. Adding to the angst, Russia's MiG aircraft makers said on Friday that it planned to sign a new agreement to ship at least 10 fighter jets to Syria.

Government: "A Seedy Circus... Perpetually In Debt"

Is there a better phrase to describe modern government than “a seedy circus which is perpetually in debt?” It is perfect. Government is exhausted. It, like Whipsnade’s circus, is  out of resources, ideas and solutions. Government has painted itself into a fiscal and financial corner from which there is no escape. As a result of its profligacy, government is no longer able to sustain itself. That is the real reason for the Fed’s quantitative easing program(s). Taxes and traditional government bond sales no longer provide enough money to run the monster. QE, more properly described as counterfeiting, is a euphemism to disguise the insolvency of the government. Without the Federal Reserve, government would have to pare down dramatically. Government is now a facade, with guns. It has failed miserably at governance and shifted its focus to survival.

With The G-4 Central Banks "All In", Pimco Speculates When QE Finally Ends

"QE detractors... see something quite different. They see QE as not responding to the collapse in the money multiplier but to some extent causing it. In this account QE – and the flatter yield curves that have resulted from it – has itself broken the monetary transmission mechanism, resulting in central banks pushing ever more liquidity on a limper and limper string. In this view, it is not inflation that’s at risk from QE, but rather, the health of the financial system. In this view, instead of central banks waiting for the money multiplier to rebound to old normal levels before QE is tapered or ended, central banks must taper or end QE first to induce the money multiplier and bank lending to increase."

 

 

Guest Post: Is It Fixable?

In the 15th century, the highest standard of living in the world belonged to China. Places like Nanjing had reached the pinnacle of civilization with incredibly modern infrastructure, robust economies, substantial international trade, great healthcare, and a rising middle class. If you had told a Chinese merchant at the time that, over the course of the next several hundred years, global primacy would shift to Europe (and a relatively unknown American continent), you would have been laughed at. It was simply unthinkable given how advanced China was over the west. And yet, it happened. Ironically, the tables are turning yet again; in total objectivity, the patient is beyond cure at this point… and the math is quite simple. Nations typically enter this vicious cycle once they start having to borrow money just to pay interest on what they already owe. The US is already way past this point.

It seems he is not alone in the 'buy-low-sell-high' crowd. If wonderful times are ahead for U.S. financial markets, then why is so much of the smart money heading for the exits?  Does it make sense for insiders to be getting out of stocks and real estate if prices are just going to continue to go up?

 

 

April Core Retail Sales Were Just Revised From A 100% Beat To A Miss

When two weeks ago we reported on the core retail sales "beat", we were surprised. Here's why: "Retail sales ex autos were in line with expectations at -0.1%, on expectations of a -0.2% print, but it was the sales number ex-autos and gas which surprised the most, rising 0.6% on expectations of a +0.3% increase, up from a -0.1% decline." We are no longer surprised. Reuters has the answer: US APRIL RETAIL SALES EX-AUTOS/GASOLINE REVISED TO +0.2 PCT (PREV +0.6 PCT) And, as a reminder, the consensus was for a +0.3% print. So instead of a 100% beat relative to consensus, it was a 50% miss. Why did this happen: from the Census Bureau: "retail sales estimates were revised to reflect the introduction of a new sample, new seasonal factors, and results of the 2011 Annual Retail Trade Survey." Of course, the algos who bid stocks up on the flashing read headline of this now outdated and flawed "beat", will certainly go back and sell all the stocks they were otherwise going to buy, since it is now a "miss."

 

 

Consumers Most Confident Since 2007, Celebrate By Biggest Spending Drop In One Year

It doesn't get any better than this. For the fifth month in a row, UMich consumer confidence has beaten expectations and its final print at 84.5 for May is the highest in six years. This 'confidence' survey fits with the conference board's exuberance also. We can only assume that it is the one-year high mortgage rates and considerably lower-than-expected income and spending that is driving it? As a gentle reminder, the US consumer was this cock-a-hoop just before the market last topped in Q3 2007 - so we are not sure if it is 'useful' for anyone but a self-aggrandizing anchoring-biased asset-gatherer. Current economic conditions (at Oct 2007 highs) are surging (as are expectations) by their most since Sep 2009. Of course, in perfect 'correlation' with this 'confidence', these consumers decided that May was the first time in a year to cut spending...

 

 

Chicago PMI Soars To Highest Since March 2012 Crashing Expectations, Respondents Despondent

So much for all the other diffusion indices, both around the world and in the US, telegraphing manufacturing contraction. Three minutes before its official release, the rumor was that the subscribers had seen a 58.7 print, on expectations of a 50.0 number, and up from 49.0 Sure enough, this is just what happened when the official number hit, leading the Chicago PMI to the highest print since March 2012: a 8 sigma beat to the consensus print and far higher than the biggest forecast. And while last time the plunge in the PMI was bullish for stocks as it meant no Tapering, today the beat is also bullish because it means QE is working, and as a result the stock market has wiped out all earlier losses. Looking at the report, backlogs, deliveries and employment all snapped out of sub 50 contraction, while production soared from 49.9 to a ridiculous 62.7. Even employment soared from 48.7 to 56.9. Amusingly, the only thing that dipped in April was Inventories, down from 40.6 to 40.4.

 

 

Up, Up And Away: At Least Something Is Going "Straight Up"

Sadly, that "something" has nothing to do with the real economy, but it has everything to do with the stock market which is all that matters to the Fed. Presenting the Adjusted Reserves held by Fed banks: it is, logically, at a fresh all time high. This is the low-powered money that due to capital allocation preferences continues to go, every day for the past 4 years, not into the broader economy (blame it on the 2s10s, or the disastrous state of the US consumer who has no desire for loans, or what have you) but straight into the S&P500. Since the full blown launch of QE3 excess bank reserves have grown by $500 billion, or roughly a 30% increase in six months. Which is also the reason why the S&P has correlated not with any actual fundamental data, but only this chart for the past 6 or so months.

 

 

Europe's Scariest Chart Goes Parabolic

Ireland has seen its youth unemployment rate drop for 10 of the last 11 months and has dropped to a 'mere' 26.6% - the lowest since July 2010 - in what is truly the only possible silver lining in today's absolutely dreadful data release. All four of the other PIIGS nations now have broken the dismal Maginot Line of 40% youth unemployment with Italy finally joining the club (Italy 40.5%, Portugal 42.5%, Spain 58.2%, and Greece 62.5%). What is even more concerning is that not only are these rates extremely high but they are accelerating with all four of these dark nations seeing their rates rising faster than in recent months (this was the 2nd fastest rise in Greek youth unemployment ever). Overall, Europe's youth unemployment rate continues to march higher (to 24.4%) having not fallen for 24 months, but it is Spain that is the 'winner' with 41 consecutive months without a drop in youth unemployment. With welfare benefits running dry, and Sweden and Switzerland already running hot, we fear this summer may bring the much-feared unrest so many have been concerned about.

 

April Income Lower Than Expected, Leads To Weaker Spending; Savings Rate At Unsustainable Lows

In yet another confirmation that the US consumer continues to get slammed, and is respectively slamming the GDP by spending less, today's April personal spending and personal income both missed expectations, printing flat and declining -0.2% from the March numbers, much as expected following the Q1 spending spree, which means that economic growth in Q2 and onward as a function of consumer spending will only "taper" going forward especially with the delayed impacts of the payroll tax negative effect on spending finally starting to trickle down. What's worse, is that since incomes did not improve in April, the savings rate remained flat at a minuscule 2.5%, or just off the lowest its has been since the start of the Second Great Fed-propped Depression.

 

All Time Record Gold Transactions Reported By LBMA

Weakness in gold and silver is leading to robust demand internationally as store of value buyers accumulate gold and silver on this dip. This is particularly the case in Asia where premiums remain robust and supply demand imbalances remain. The persistent strong demand of this week began on the price falls in April. This demand is clearly seen in the London gold and silver trading data released by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) yesterday. London gold trading jumped to a 20 month high in April and silver volumes surged 25% after the price falls led to an increase in physical buying, the LBMA said in a report. Trading in gold averaged 24.1 million ounces a day in the London market, the most for any month since gold reached record nominal highs in August 2011, the LBMA said in a statement yesterday as reported by Bloomberg.  The 24.1 million ounces was a 10% increase on March when 21.8 million ounces a day were traded. Silver volume surged nearly 25% to 165.2 million ounces a day, up from 132.5 million ounces in March. There were 5,395 gold transactions on average per day, the highest on record, while silver transfers at 1,007 a day were the second-highest ever, according to the report.

 

 

For Whom The Bell Tolls

The European Union is leading the nations of Europe nowhere. They have sat there and languished in their own self-adoration, propped up their egos on self-congratulation and flounced recitals of praise fluffed and huffed by one politician and told to another. They have a central bank promising what cannot be delivered and they have used up all of their capital to buy the debt they have created to support the artifice. Then having mutilated the pension funds of their citizens and having pressured every money manager on the Continent they congratulate themselves on their lower yields. They see a road without end; we can see the end. They congratulate themselves; we yawn as the mumbo jumbo continues.

America's Bubble Economy Is Going To Become An Economic Black HoleWhat is going to happen when the greatest economic bubble in the history of the world pops?  The mainstream media never talks about that.  They are much too busy covering the latest dogfights in Washington and what Justin Bieber has been up to.  And most Americans seem to think that if the Dow keeps setting new all-time highs that everything must be okay.  Sadly, that is not the case at all. Right now, the U.S. economy is exhibiting all of the classic symptoms of a bubble economy. What we are witnessing right now is the calm before the storm.  Let us hope that it lasts for as long as possible so that we can have more time to prepare. Unfortunately, this bubble of false hope will not last forever.  At some point it will end, and then the pain will begin.  http://albertpeia.com/usbubbleeconomicblackhole.htm

The Number Of US Citizens On Disability Is Now Larger Than The Population Of GreeceThe tremendous increase in people on SSDI is nothing but a gigantic fraud. Indeed, the program is rife with unaffordable fraud! } The number of people on SSDI now exceeds the entire population of Greece. The aging of the population has nothing to do with the increase. In 1968 there were 51 workers for every person on disability. Today there are 13 workers for every person on disablity. Even the most pollyanna would agree that medical advancements since 1968 have been significant. These medical advancements would argue for less people being on disability and unable to work. Workplace safety measures have been increased exponentially since 1968, so that also argues for less disabled workers. The good old ADA law forced all workplaces to become disabled friendly. That argues for less people on disability. The country has transitioned from a manufacturing society to a service society. Workers dont work on dangerous assembly lines anymore. Robots do the dangerous stuff. This should have dramatically reduced worker injuries and disabilities. The tremendous increase in people on SSDI is nothing but a gigantic fraud. The government broadened the scope of disabilities to include stress, depression, and non-diagnosable things like aches and pains. And don't forget, you get the added benefit of Medicare coverage after only two years of SSDI stress.

MarketWatch  Hunting the last bear Wall Street needs its own Endangered Species Act since it seems everyone is now a bull.  By John Nyaradi ‘… It seems that everyone on Wall Street is a bull today as the S&P 500 SPX +0.41% and Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.32%  have settled into a predictable routine of "another day, another record," despite the steady stream of negative macro economic data.

Bears, now virtually extinct, were hoping instead for a feast as the poor economic reports came pouring in over recent days:

1. April nonfarm payrolls — a mediocre 165,000 payroll jobs added which was celebrated as a huge win by markets last week.

2. ISM nonmanufacturing report showed a decline to 53.1, broadly missing expectations.

3. April manufacturing ISM report posted a drop to 50.7 from 51.3 in March. Because 50 is the threshold which distinguishes contraction from expansion, the April manufacturing PMI fell to just barely within the expansionary range.

4. Euro-zone manufacturing PMI for April declined to 46.7 from 46.8 in March while euro-zone retail sales declined by 0.1% in March. For the 27-nation European Union, March retail sales fell by 0.2%,

5. Euro-zone unemployment came in at 12.1% in March.

6. April's HSBC China Composite PMI (which covers both manufacturing and services) declined to 51.1 from 53.5 in March, indicating the weakest rate of expansion since last October. Hong Kong's PMI also settled into contractionary territory at 49.9, down from 50.5 in March.

Despite all the bad economic news, Wall Street bears look positively cadaverous as financial markets levitate higher and seemingly disconnect from the real economy. This disconnect is generating an expanding discussion, and even a name, "The Great Disconnect," which has followed "The Great Recession," as Wall Street's fortunes look decidedly different from those on Main Street.

Everyone seems to be in agreement that the recent financial levitation has been generated by global central banks, and during his presentation at last week's 10th annual Strategic Investment Conference, presented by Altegris Investments and John Mauldin, Pimco's Mohamed El-Erian emphasized that investors must be ready for the "hand off" by central banks, when the era of assisted support gives way to the era of organic growth.

Even the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett, has joined the discussion by saying that when the Federal Reserve finally raises interest rates from their current near-zero level, it will be the "shot heard around the world".

As the discussion grows louder, the Federal Reserve seems to be coming under ever intensifying pressure, and that was in evidence last week when the Fed announced that it would continue its bond-buying program. known as quantitative easing. Longtime Fed critic Ron Paul emphasized that the program works only to the advantage of big bankers and politicians, while hurting middle-class and impoverished Americans. Warren Buffett echoed a similar theme when he pointed out — at Berkshire Hathaway's BRK.A +0.96% annual shareholders' meeting in Nebraska — that the Fed's quantitative easing program has made life difficult for people who live on fixed-income investments…’   {  Modern 1920’s redux … all we need are ‘flappers’!  }

But most average Americans are not that concerned with the performance of the stock market.  They just want to be able to go to work, pay the bills and provide for their families.  During the last recession, millions of Americans lost their jobs and millions of Americans lost their homes that will happen again.  Sadly, it appears that another major recession is quickly approaching.

The Financial Press: A Disinformation Machine   Paul Craig Roberts | Let’s take a walk through the BLS report and you can arrive at your own conclusion.   { All bad news and these ever more worthless commissioned-paper (actually not even) shares at lightning computerized speed are rallying … just like zimbawee (the best performing stock-market of the decade past) … and just like zimbabwee, they’re all a bunch of niggers on wall street (their QE welfare everyone’s paying for included) … no wonder this country’s done/in protracted decline! This is an all too familiar scam that as before, everyone is and will be paying for. How does it feel to be dumb! [Parenthetically, just this moment, an ‘equities expert’ (on one of those syndicated business programs, NBR-just bought out by cnbc which means they just got a lot dumber and I had to turn it off and will never watch NBR again…nbc is a horrible propaganda network (finishing deservingly last among the so-called ‘majors’), mobsters like trump on that ‘apprentice thing’ with toothy nutcases like gary busey, etc.. ‘No credibility whatsoever and a total joke!) said house prices (as well as the ‘paper shares’, gas, oil, food staples, meat, etc.) are rising (duh! … contraindicated implication-‘happy days are here again’)… riiiiight … just like zimbabwee!

It was amusing to see mainstream media puzzling over the record high gas prices so early in this time of year, and as well, the coming jump in beef prices. There’s no mystery here! This is the natural and inevitable concomitant to ‘printing presses gone wild’. Not printing presses for product for intellectual consumption; but rather, printing presses (whether by print or computer ledger entry) for those ever more worthless paper fiat dollars backed by nothing but insurmountable debt of a defacto bankrupt nation. Remember: There’s no free lunch … fraudulent wall street’s predictable/intended gain (from QE, currency debasement, etc.) is your substantial pain! It’s the zimbabwee financial model gone american …  ,   Kyle Bass Tells 'Nominal' Stock Market Cheerleaders: Remember Zimbabwe
Amid the euphoria of today's crossing of the Dow's Maginot Line at 14,000, Kyle Bass provided a few minutes of sanity this morning in an interview with CNBC's Gary Kaminsky. Bass starts by reflecting on the ongoing (and escalating) money-printing (or balance sheet expansion as we noted here) as the driver of stock movements currently and would not be surprised to see them move higher still (given the ongoing printing expected). However, he caveats that nominally bullish statement with a critical point, "Zimbabwe's stock market was the best performer this decade - but your entire portfolio now buys you 3 eggs" as purchasing power is crushed. Investors, he says, are "too focused on nominal prices" as the rate of growth of the monetary base is destroying true wealth. Bass is convinced that cost-push inflation is coming (as the velocity of money will move once psychology shifts) and investors must not take their eye off the insidious nature of underlying inflation - no matter what we are told by the government (as they will always lie when its critical)…”  ,  Post-Hyperinflationary Zimbabwe Welcomes The Holidays With 80% Unemployment, Empty ATMs And Paralyzed Transport  { Just another typical nigger! Speaking of niggers, if wobama is given the opportunity as he has thus far, he’ll tread the same path as fellow nigger mugabe. } … Zimbabweans are facing bleak holidays this year amid rising poverty, food and cash shortages and political uncertainty, with some describing it as the worst since the formation of the coalition government in the southern African nation....

It gets worse: "Zimbabwe's unemployment is pegged at around 80 percent with many people in Harare, the capital, eking out a living by selling vegetables and fruits on street corners." And all of this is after the massive economic imbalances in Zimbabwe's economy should have been "fixed" (or so conventional economic theory would have one believe) courtesy of hyperinflation, which left any savers in tatters, destroyed the value of the old currency, benefited solely debtors  but also allowed a fresh start to a government, which could only remain in power due to a violent power grab by the democratically elected-turned-dictator Robert Mugabe.  }

THE MAN WHO PREDICTED JAPANS LOST DECADE THE RECESSION OF 1990-92 THE BIGGEST BULL MARKET RUN IN U.S. HISTORY AND MOST RECENTLY, THE 2008 CREDIT CRISIS AND STOCK MARKET CRASH NOW PREDICTS:

"DOW 3300!"  http://albertpeia.com/dow3300.htm 

 

Yes, today the Dow Jones Average may be near historic highs…
but it won’t be for long! The Dow
will drop.

 

*  Unemployment will move higher again, to roughly 15% nationwide. It could go as high as 25%

when you include long-term unemployed in the numbers.

 

*  Housing prices will fall an additional 30%, despite the biggest stimulus plan in history and the

lowest mortgage rates in 40 years.

 

*  Personal bankruptcies and property foreclosures will soar as much as 30%. Consumers are

simply saddled with too much debt — $42 trillion or $140,000 for every man, woman and

child in America — for there to be any other outcome. Falling income will only make matters

worse.

 

*  State and municipal governments will be forced into default, especially at the city and country

level. Their budgets are already in crisis and the Federal Reserve is running out of money with

which to cushion these institutions.

 

*  The Federal deficit will balloon from $1.3 trillion to as much as $3 trillion because of huge revenue

shortages.

 

*  The global credit crisis – phase II – will continue to spread around the globe like a contagious

virus. Greece is already down. Spain will be next.

 

A second banking crisis will out, despite the lessons “learned” in 2008. Mortgage companies have

resumed offering low interest, no principal “teaser” loans. Investment banks have begun taking unnecessary risks again. And this time, there’ll be no money for a bailout.

 

ALL OF THIS WILL SEND THE DOW AND OTHER INDEXES TUMBLING AS MUCH AS 70%. IN FACT, WE EXPECT THE DOW TO PLUNGE BACK DOWN TO 3,300 BY LATE 2014.

Yet, there is no question but that the masses so mocked, deserve to be mocked, having embraced their dismal fate at every turn; viz., their embrace of political correctness, though contraindicated, as, ie., the embrace of the violent, destructive nigger who literally would have them for dinner, or the compulsion to embrace that which the state says is right, though contraindicated, for political expedience owing to failure fed (including the incompetent missteps of the failed fed) desperation, ie., gay marriage, etc., contrived wars / conflicts, among other clearly observable, self-interested behavior of people, companies, nations, including the gargantuan bailed out frauds on wall street to everyones (but the frauds) detriment, still unprosecuted. That the jive-talking, b***s*** artist/grifter/con-man obama has not been held to even one of his former now broken campaign promises and is embraced by those foolish enough to believe more of the same is testament to how deserving of mocking the masses truly are (people should be outraged and wobama should be ridden out on a rail).

{ I no longer will be following Phoenix Capital Resources … too much advertising … too much propaganda … too little meaningfully relevant substance (america et al’s problems are huge). After all, with all china’s faults, not the least of which is communism (I’m definitely not their advocate), one must realistically ask, ‘what nation(s), based on lies and for the sake of military industrial complex profits (as warned against by the great but underrated President General Eisenhower) has been engaged in Orwellian perpetual war despite defacto bankruptcy and pervasive corruption’? Not China… Eureka! Amerika et als!  Inflation Calls BS on the China “Miracle”  http://albertpeia.com/inflationinchina.htm   { For the first time I’m constrained to label a piece by Mr. Summers wishful thinking and a u.s. government propaganda piece at best. While aptly pointing out chinese corruption and fraud as is particularly pervasive in america, he conveniently ignores the success of their primitive, basic, simplistic capitalist business model of low costs (primarily labor, materials, etc.) fueled particularly ab initio by american greed. Go to any store and pick up nearly any product and the likelihood of ‘made in china’ is upwards of 95% (then as well, as with apple, taking into account components). Clearly, Mr. Summers lacks depth of understanding/knowledge concerning costs of tooling, retooling, and manufacturing generally, as well as cost accounting among other business/finance disciplines. As regards their nominal communist system, I remain staunchly opposed to the invariable lie of communism, although the meaningfully lawless (‘too big to fail or jail’) and corrupt, oligarchical crony faux capitalist welfare dependent failing (and ever more socialist) system in america is hardly a laudable alternative.  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm  http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm   .

Guest Post: How I Became A Trillionaire (And Some Thoughts On Inflation) These photos illustrate the fundamentally arbitrary nature of fiat (paper) money. Why do we prefer the $100 greenback over the $100 trillion note issued by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe? The purchasing power of the Benjamin far exceeds the purchasing power of the $100 trillion bill. But the Benjamin is not immune to inflation; the dollar has lost about 95% of its 1900 purchasing power.  If 95% of households are experiencing a loss of purchasing power and most of the new money and credit are flowing to the top 5%, you get asset bubbles, not demand-driven inflation. When 95% of the households are poorer in terms of purchasing power and financial wealth, where can demand-driven inflation arise in a global economy of massive manufacturing and labor over-capacity? The rise in costs within industries controlled by cartels (healthcare, higher education, defense, etc.) may look like demand-driven inflation, but are actually transfers of wealth and purchasing power from households to the government-protected cartels.

It was amusing to see mainstream media puzzling over the record high gas prices so early in this time of year, and as well, the coming jump in beef prices. There’s no mystery here! This is the natural and inevitable concomitant to ‘printing presses gone wild’. Not printing presses for product for intellectual consumption; but rather, printing presses (whether by print or computer ledger entry) for those ever more worthless paper fiat dollars backed by nothing but insurmountable debt of a defacto bankrupt nation.

It’s the zimbabwee financial model gone american …  ,   Kyle Bass Tells 'Nominal' Stock Market Cheerleaders: Remember Zimbabwe
Amid the euphoria of today's crossing of the Dow's Maginot Line at 14,000, Kyle Bass provided a few minutes of sanity this morning in an interview with CNBC's Gary Kaminsky. Bass starts by reflecting on the ongoing (and escalating) money-printing (or balance sheet expansion as we noted here) as the driver of stock movements currently and would not be surprised to see them move higher still (given the ongoing printing expected). However, he caveats that nominally bullish statement with a critical point, "Zimbabwe's stock market was the best performer this decade - but your entire portfolio now buys you 3 eggs" as purchasing power is crushed. Investors, he says, are "too focused on nominal prices" as the rate of growth of the monetary base is destroying true wealth. Bass is convinced that cost-push inflation is coming (as the velocity of money will move once psychology shifts) and investors must not take their eye off the insidious nature of underlying inflation - no matter what we are told by the government (as they will always lie when its critical)…”  ,  Post-Hyperinflationary Zimbabwe Welcomes The Holidays With 80% Unemployment, Empty ATMs And Paralyzed Transport  { Just another typical nigger! Speaking of niggers, if wobama is given the opportunity as he has thus far, he’ll tread the same path as fellow nigger mugabe. } … Zimbabweans are facing bleak holidays this year amid rising poverty, food and cash shortages and political uncertainty, with some describing it as the worst since the formation of the coalition government in the southern African nation.... Banks have closed, ATMs have run out of cash and transport services have been paralyzed." It gets worse: "Zimbabwe's unemployment is pegged at around 80 percent with many people in Harare, the capital, eking out a living by selling vegetables and fruits on street corners." And all of this is after the massive economic imbalances in Zimbabwe's economy should have been "fixed" (or so conventional economic theory would have one believe) courtesy of hyperinflation, which left any savers in tatters, destroyed the value of the old currency, benefited solely debtors  but also allowed a fresh start to a government, which could only remain in power due to a violent power grab by the democratically elected-turned-dictator Robert Mugabe.  }

Guest Post: Diminishing QE Returns And The Coming 40% Correction

Chris Martenson is issuing an official warning of a major stock market correction within the next few months. He's only done this once before (in 2008). He's seeing a convergence of both technical and fundamental data that are flashing oversized risks to the downside for asset prices, despite the Federal Reserve's money printing mania (which is showing signs of hitting diminishing returns). He expects the fall in equity prices to happen within the May-September window. This downdraft will be characterized by lots of volatility, formed by market routs and Fed-inspired rescues, alternating until some form of bottom is reached. Along the way there will likely be a flight for "safety" into the dollar and Treasury paper, but only during the first stage of this crisis. Once a bottom is reached - he expects anywhere from 40% to 60% lower than the current ~1500 level on the S&P 500 - the process will begin to be dominated by rising government borrowing which will cause interest rates to begin to rise. When that happens, expect capital to flee the paper market for hard assets. In particular, that's when the upwards price revolution in the gold and silver markets will kick into high gear.

Oscar winners in photos  Marketwatch { Say what you want about Kentucky; but, some band’s got to come up with  the song, ‘Kentucky (not California) Girls’. Whew! Ridley Scott had a great find in Sean Young (‘Blade Runner’). But Jennifer Lawrence? Wow! What a spectacular, total babe! And, she can shoot a bow and arrow too (I think). Parenthetically, while there are many aspects of a actor’s performance/demeanor/actions on and off the set that constitute worthy scrutiny, falling on the way to pick up an Oscar for Best Actress at age 22 is definitely not one of them. Totally meaningless and appropriately forgettable. If she was wearing running shoes and short shorts, that never would have happened. After all, when really will she wear such garb, albeit exquisite on her, again?…Next Academy Awards Oscar Ceremony to pick up another, and another, etc., of course. Yet, one can hardly say ‘practice makes perfect’ when referencing such an exotic creature as she. }

 

 

The start of the 100-year bear   Marketwatch  Paul B. Farrell  Here are 5 dangers ahead that could tip the stock market into a long decline. Which hits first?  http://albertpeia.com/100yearbear.htm  ‘…Many other Dr. Dooms predict new 2008 crash, long bear market  Today, Prechter is in great company, one of many other well-known Dr. Dooms who have long-term visions, in a myopic world. Youll see Prechter alongside such other great Dr. Dooms as Hong Kongs Marc Faber ... celebrity economist Nouriel Roubini ... Nobel economist Joseph Stiglitz, author of Freefall ... $100 billion money manager Jeremy Grantham, who says our GDP is On the Road to Zero Growth ... Forbes columnist Gary Shilling, who sees the S&P dropping 45% to 800... historian Niall Ferguson, author of Colossus: The Rise and Fall of The American Empire ... hedge fund genius Nassim Taleb, author of Black Swan ... former IMF chief economist Simon Johnson, co-author of White House Burning and Doomsday Cycle ... billionaire trader George Soros, who just made a billion shorting the yen ... economists Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff, whose classic This Time is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly says it all ... anthropologist Jared Diamond whose Collapse warns us that throughout history civilizations fail because leaders fail to plan and act in time ... and other Dr.Dooms were tracking. So yes, Prechter and his Dow 400 and 100-year bear-market predictions are in good company. And we even have to include Pimcos Mohamed El-Erian, who manages a $2 trillion portfolio along with Bond King Bill Gross.

Analyst Briton Ryle explains... { Prosecution, disgorgement, and jail is where they belong! }  Read More...  { Their Dont look a gift-horse in the mouth (self-serving) advice really takes the cake! Goldman 'Explains' The 'Market': "Best Not To Look A Gift-Horse In The Mouth" ZH { Riiiiight! Sounds like a plan! The gift-horse thats not a gift-horse at all Youre paying through your nose and teeth. It was amusing to see mainstream media puzzling over the record high gas prices so early in this time of year, and as well, the coming jump in beef prices. Theres no mystery here! This is the natural and inevitable concomitant to printing presses gone wild. Not printing presses for product for intellectual consumption; but rather, printing presses (whether by print or computer ledger entry) for those ever more worthless paper fiat dollars backed by nothing but insurmountable debt of a defacto bankrupt nation. Remember: Theres no free lunch fraudulent wall streets predictable/intended gain (from QE, currency debasement, etc.) is your substantial pain! Its the zimbabwee financial model gone american   ,   Kyle Bass Tells 'Nominal' Stock Market Cheerleaders: Remember Zimbabwe Amid the euphoria of today's crossing of the Dow's Maginot Line at 14,000, Kyle Bass provided a few minutes of sanity this morning in an interview with CNBC's Gary Kaminsky. Bass starts by reflecting on the ongoing (and escalating) money-printing (or balance sheet expansion as we noted here) as the driver of stock movements currently and would not be surprised to see them move higher still (given the ongoing printing expected). However, he caveats that nominally bullish statement with a critical point, "Zimbabwe's stock market was the best performer this decade - but your entire portfolio now buys you 3 eggs" as purchasing power is crushed. Investors, he says, are "too focused on nominal prices" as the rate of growth of the monetary base is destroying true wealth. Bass is convinced that cost-push inflation is coming (as the velocity of money will move once psychology shifts) and investors must not take their eye off the insidious nature of underlying inflation - no matter what we are told by the government (as they will always lie when its critical)…”  ,  Post-Hyperinflationary Zimbabwe Welcomes The Holidays With 80% Unemployment, Empty ATMs And Paralyzed Transport  { Just another typical nigger! Speaking of niggers, if wobama is given the opportunity as he has thus far, hell tread the same path as fellow nigger mugabe. } Zimbabweans are facing bleak holidays this year amid rising poverty, food and cash shortages and political uncertainty, with some describing it as the worst since the formation of the coalition government in the southern African nation.... Banks have closed, ATMs have run out of cash and transport services have been paralyzed." It gets worse: "Zimbabwe's unemployment is pegged at around 80 percent with many people in Harare, the capital, eking out a living by selling vegetables and fruits on street corners." And all of this is after the massive economic imbalances in Zimbabwe's economy should have been "fixed" (or so conventional economic theory would have one believe) courtesy of hyperinflation, which left any savers in tatters, destroyed the value of the old currency, benefited solely debtors  but also allowed a fresh start to a government, which could only remain in power due to a violent power grab by the democratically elected-turned-dictator Robert Mugabe.  }

El-Erian On Stocks: "Prices Are Artificially High - Its Time to Take Profits"

"It’s not going away, it’s going to get worse," is how PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian warns Yahoo's Lauren Lyster about central bank policy and the currency wars that are so much in discussion currently. Central banks have been compelled to undertake unconventional measures, things they haven’t done before, because other policymakers are not stepping up to take responsibility on the fiscal side. These implicit devaluations and beggar-thy-neighbor policies force a lot of liquidity into the system and by pushing up asset prices, central banks believe, create a 'weath effect'. It can also trigger “animal spirits” – we get all excited and invest more. In terms of equity markets, El-Erian says investors are split into two camps. One camp believes that everything will go higher and central banks will succeed in their efforts. The other camp believes asset prices are going to come down to meet the fundamentals. El-Erian puts himself in the second camp. “We think that prices are artificially high, that maintaining them here is going to be hard as central banks become less effective, and that it’s time to book some profits and to wait for some better entry points,” he explains. He clarifies that this is not a “Lehman moment." But “prices that have gotten way ahead of what policy can deliver,"

21 Signs That U.S. Public Schools Have Become Training Centers For Sexual Deviancy

http://albertpeia.com/ustrainingcentersforsexualdeviancy.htm

[  25 Signs American Women Are Being Destroyed By The Sexual Revolution And Our Promiscuous Culture

http://albertpeia.com/uspromiscuity.htm  { I’m constrained to say that grammar, junior high, and high school in the suburban town in which I grew up were not at all like that; and, far more conservative, civilized, and restrained (and no niggers whatsoever). I’ve included the following previous reference/link as a matter of disclosure and so as not to appear as a hypocrite in the context of this referenced subject:  Drudgereport: STUDY: Girls As Young As 6 See Themselves As Sex Objects... { Wow! This is really quite alarming and bespeaks america’s new-found perverse, third-world uncivilized status, which is ‘picked up’ by kids who in some ways are smarter than given credit for with a vulnerable longing to please, be accepted in light of their powerless position in our ever more deteriorating society. For the record, personally, I’ve never had a virgin though I’ve been in a position to; that’s something I just don’t do. Never have, never wanted to, never would, never will! Moreover, with the prevalence of sick pedophiles and kiddie-porn, it’s not so surprising that kids might pick up on such abominable vibes. It is difficult to imagine that little girls could be the objects of such horror as, ie., Samantha Runnion ( who was kidnapped, sexually abused and strangled by a man who lured her from her front yard by telling her he had lost his dog. Her naked body was found the next day by a hiker in Cleveland National Forest, 50 miles southeast of Stanton.[1] The autopsy revealed that she died from compression. A sample of the kidnapper's DNA was found under her fingernail. The suspect, a Lake Elsinore, California, man named Alejandro Avila, was convicted of first degree murder with special circumstances in May 2005. His DNA was found on Samantha's body, and her DNA was found in his car. He was arrested three days after the abduction. Avila had previously been to the condominium complex where Samantha lived, because his ex-girlfriend resided there and he had been previously acquitted of molesting her daughter and niece. On May 16, 2005, the jury recommended he receive the death penalty. On July 22, 2005, Avila was formally sentenced to death. He is incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison on death row ). As an aside, I’ve included the following for the record as well: Though I’ve had many consensual sexual liasons with many different female sexual partners (mid-hundreds) all of whom I liked, I’ve never, ever resorted to prostitutes. The accidental exceptions included two ‘call girls’; one having met at summer beach town bar matinee and who was ‘not working’ (as it turned out the reason being she was at the end of her menstrual cycle). The other at a grocery store with her daughter which made such in my mind, unlikely. As it turned out, both were ‘nymphomaniacs’ (which, truth be told, made for quite an exceptional sexual romp) and I simplistically inferred/surmised without dwelling on the subject that they probably expected they’d have inordinate amounts of sex anyway and might as well get paid for it – of course I didn’t nor was I asked to pay. The other incident I’m including here for the record concerned an absolutely beautiful (blonde hair, blue eyes, pretty, cute, perfectly built/proportioned – make no mistake, however, I like brunettes also) girl I met at a bar called ‘the Red Ranch’, later changed to ‘Harpoon Willy’s’. At closing, we immediately became amorous, near intimate to a point in my car with abrupt ‘resistance’ at the ‘crucial moments’. When I finally, ‘exasperated’, asked ‘what’s up’, she stated she had recently broken up with her boyfriend who had gone too far in the ‘sado-masochistic’ ritual behavior they were, and she still was into. I told her I wasn’t into it  (I don’t connect sex with sado-masochism); never would, never did, never will. We talked for quite some time and she explained her ‘predisposition’ the (her perceived) consequence of her strict, puritanical upbringing and feelings of guilt concomitant with sexual activity requiring coincident punishment/pain when so engaged. I was busy with law school evenings, work full-time, and teaching at a local college part-time and parted ways without taking her number and never did see her again. }   ]

Guest Post: All Is Well

        Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. Aldous Huxley

The entire system is corrupt to its core. Both political parties, regulatory agencies, Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, and mainstream media are participants in this enormous fraud. They grow more desperate and bold by the day. The lies, misinformation and propaganda being spewed on a daily basis become more outrageous and audacious. They are using the Big Lie method on a grand scale. They frantically need to lure the muppets into the stock market and the housing market to keep the game going a little longer. You can sense we are reaching a tipping point. The system they have created is mathematically unsustainable. Therefore, it will not be sustained.

30 Population Control Quotes That Show That The Elite Truly Believe That Humans Are A Plague Upon The Earth

http://thetruthwins.com

http://albertpeia.com/humanplagueonearth.htm

{ It really doesn’t matter what they believe; but rather, it’s what is, that counts. Anyone with average intelligence or better, if they’ve been paying attention, ineluctably must conclude that humans are a ‘net negative’ in real terms. That will never change! Human beings are, on balance, inherently destructive. Fortunately, universally, there is no significant impact inasmuch as the human plague is confined to this solar system; and, for all intents and purposes, to this dying planet. Remember, there’s just decades left at best! }

[   12 Pictures That Demonstrate How The New World Order Openly Mocks Us http://albertpeia.com/newworldordervedgesmockus.htm  { First, let me say that the vedges of the so-called new world order are in no real position to mock anyone, so mockable as they indeed are, as the incompetent vegetables that they in fact are, who have been the very architects of ultimately their own and the planets decline, fall, and demise. Yet, there is no question but that the masses so mocked, deserve to be mocked, having embraced their dismal fate at every turn; viz., their embrace of political correctness, though contraindicated, as, ie., the embrace of the violent, destructive nigger who literally would have them for dinner, or the compulsion to embrace that which the state says is right, though contraindicated, for political expedience owing to failure fed (including the incompetent missteps of the failed fed) desperation, ie., gay marriage, etc., contrived wars / conflicts, among other clearly observable, self-interested behavior of people, companies, nations, including the gargantuan bailed out frauds on wall street to everyones (but the frauds) detriment, still unprosecuted. That the jive-talking, b***s*** artist/grifter/con-man obama has not been held to even one of his former now broken campaign promises and is embraced by those foolish enough to believe more of the same is testament to how deserving of mocking the masses truly are (people should be outraged and wobama should be ridden out on a rail). Make no mistake; the reality is that the new world order/so-called elite are not elite at all; but rather, incompetent vegetables who cant do anything right as theyve now proven time and time again. As I previously said:

EPITAPH FOR AMERICA: Nothing quite succeeds like failure in america. I had tried to help underdog (and outsider and former missionary and hard worker and straight shooter) Mitt Romney by coming out early and unequivocally in support of him and change in the disastrous direction of america, unequivocally in decline. Importantly, that also gave me 'license' to say what needed saying but what everyone considers politically incorrect, impolitic, or brutally honest and/but are afraid to say. The key(s) to the election debacle here were the threat of riots and violence by the typical uncivilized niggers. After all, americans generally are without doubt an inherently cowardly people and war-mongering bullies as indicated by past and recent history. I saw this first hand by particularly that screaming old lady lying on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, purse stolen by the nigger who calmly walked away as whites among others walked, passed her by in fear (see immediately infra). Truth be told, I bit my tongue and cringed at every Romney link to corrupt, venal war criminals/criminals/mobsters bushes, cheney, trump, kean, (republicans alito, et als) etc., who have substantially damaged me (along with referenced democrats, to be fair). Then there's that contra-indicated love-fest with war mongering/war crimes nation, illegal nuke totin' israel (almost more than I could bear). On the positive side, trusting in GOD only as I do, I must confess I was happy to see the destruction of the jersey shore and appropriately, rockaway beach, queens, new york (jersey mob and gambino crime family connection). A lesson to all, Romney particularly, never trust a half-breed sicilian former federal government slug; that rotund humpty dumpty christie of jersey infamy. Amazingly, the very people who've been and will prospectively be damaged by nothing more than a mentally troubled fraud, grifter, jive-talking b***s***/con artist obama, gave him the blind support he needed to prevail regardless of his unequivocally failed four years of prior broken campaign promises, reality, and rationality. Self-destructive, mentally challenged/troubled losers? That fits! That america is a hopelessly failed, bankrupt nation in decline, there is no question!

 

MSNBC Yet Again Implies Criticism of Obama Is Racist Paul Joseph Watson | General Electric-owned (49%) network is earning its federal bailout money. [Yet, it's holder / wobama who're the racists ...

[ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims)' ... while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a 'park' - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA's position with both felonies ( he went to prison - pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of 'bystander effect' / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 blacks and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA. But, to be fair and balanced, the RICO litigation involves those uncivilized who consider themselves 'whites' http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf (predominantly but not exclusively jews / romans-italians / mobsters / government slugs). http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm     http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm ]

Barack Obama: The Naked Emperor Shocking but true revelations from David Icke (a must read) | Vast numbers of people across the world, including many who should know better, have been duped by the mind-game called Operation Obama... (excerpts) Obama has been the chosen one for a long time, a fact known only to a few in the deep inner circle, and his relationship with Brzezinski almost certainly goes back to the start of the 1980s when he attended the Ivy League, and big-time Illuminati, Columbia University where Brzezinski was head of the Institute for Communist Affairs. Obama simply will not talk in any detail about this period. He has been covertly funded and supported ever since by the Trilateral Commission and its network of foundations connecting into the Ford Foundation, for whom Obama's mother worked. And a question: Does anyone really believe that someone, a 'man of the people', would simply appear from apparently nowhere to run the slickest and best-funded presidential campaign in American history? He was chosen long ago by those who wish to enslave the very people that Obama says he wants to 'set free'. The sources of Obama funding read like a Wall Street Who's Who - Goldman Sachs, UBS, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, J.P. Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and so on. No wonder he went back on his pledge to accept the limitations of public funding for his campaign and instead took the no-limit option of 'private fundingThen there is the Jewish financier, George Soros, the multi-billionaire associate of Brzezinski and closely involved with the funding and marketing of Obama. Soros is a former board member of the Illuminati's Council on Foreign Relations and funds the European Council on Foreign Relations. In short, he is a major insider' You can certainly see the Soros/Brzezinski techniques in the Obama 'revolution' in the United States. It was the complex and secretive network of Soros foundations and organisations, connected to the intelligence agencies of the US and Israel, that trained and funded students in the Ukraine, Georgia and elsewhere in the art of mass protest and overthrowing governments. These manufactured protests were sold to the world as peoples' revolutions, but it just so happened that when they were over and the old regime was removed the new leaders were those waiting in the wings all along - the puppets of Soros, Brzezinski and their associated networks. Obama is just more of the same, a big smile with strings attached, and controlled completely by the Illuminati networks that chose him, trained him, sold him and provided his record funding. It was they who kept his many skeletons under wraps, like the gay sex and crack cocaine allegations of Larry Sinclair (from affidavit: 1. Who is Ron Allen that claims to be with your Presidential camp, who is alleged to claim that someone claiming to represent me called asking for $100,000, to keep me from coming forward about our (Obama and I) November 1999 encounter of sex and cocaine use?), and they will continue to do so as long as he jumps to their bidding. Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself for fame and power, and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. His financial advisors are straight from the Wall Street 'A' list, including Paul Adolph Volker (Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group), the head of the Federal Reserve from 1979 to 1987 and Illuminati to his fingertips. Obama has made him head of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which is dominated by insiders, including its staff director and chief economist, Austan Goolsbee, a close Obama associate from the University of Chicago. Goolsbee is an initiate of the infamous Illuminati Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, which also includes Boy and Father Bush. It was Goolsbee who told the Canadian government not to worry about Obama's attacks on the economic effects of free trade agreements because his words were just to win votes in the election campaign. Another Wall Street insider, the Zionist Timothy Geithner (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations), was appointed by Obama to be his Treasury Secretary. Geithner was the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the most powerful in the private Federal Reserve cartel that masquerades as America's central bank, and he is a former employee of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the appalling Kissinger Associates. Obama's Treasury team locks into the inner circle around the Zionist Robert Rubin, the Director and Senior Counselor of Citigroup, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and economic advisor to Obama. Rubin, a member of the Illuminati Bilderberg Group, was the man behind Citigroup's strategy of expanding its risk in debt markets which forced it to be rescued by taxpayers' money. The very people who caused the financial crisis are being appointed by Obama to decide how to respond to it (more taxpayers' money for them and their friends)

In the end, all you really have is your spirit, dignity/integrity, self-respect, all of which are sorely lacking in america generally, and california/new jersey/new york/connecticut/virginia especially.

FACEBOOK RESPONSE:

 

Bob: I'm 100% behind law enforcement in their ever more increasingly difficult task of law enforcement, in this ever more lawless nation, particularly in meaningfully lawless new jersey. Unfortunately, when I went to vote, I was asked to grant facebook broad 'authority' which as a matter of internet policy (to prevent a multitude of problems, hacking, etc.) I don't do (facebook's very politicized in a pro-wobama way and hooked into those goldman frauds et als, on fraudulent wall street). Since wobama people do it, you can put in an extra vote on my behalf. I'm currently stonewalled awaiting a formal reply from the fbi inasmuch as I must account for my time wherever I ultimately locate. Below is some recent posted commentary and a response to Congresswoman Roybal-Allard as per her request (I did not receive a reply from Sen. Feinstein regarding the aforesaid matters). Hope you and your family are well.

Dianne Feinstein: No need to debate Republican opponent... { Riiiight! Things are going so swimmingly (as in drowning) for the nation and california particularly. Actually, I responded to a ‘generic’ email / facebook request from her with my subsequent request that she help to elicit a formal response from the FBI as promised regarding the RICO matters (the other incompetent, failed perrenial senator barbara boxer actually had ‘made her presence known’ in the corrupted process regarding usdcj matz/lester and the default of the u.s. which missed the filing date which error was compounded by the misstatement of the rule in court on the record by asst. us attorney robert i. lester); but, no response... http://albertpeia.com/selfdefense.htm   [ One thing is certain from my own direct experience { The unfortunate reality is what I’ve alluded to in the context of my own direct experience; viz., america’s ‘legal system’ is an illegal system used to cover-up crimes, arbitrarily enforce laws to apply pressure, etc., and essentially run by the inmates of this collective criminal entity called america: http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf

I believe reasonable diligence requires self-reliance more than ever before in this nation’s history; particularly when political correctness in some states prevents calling a spade a spade to the substantial detriment of law enforcement! ]

11-5-11 Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. 43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

Sincerely,

America also leads in the illegal drug trade.  In fact, many researchers reveal that the war on drugs is only utilized to control and monopolize the illicit drug trade.  The US government has been caught multiple times shipping in cocaine [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvbdiWgwsA , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQNSoOX-dcw&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG1Id2qpSOE&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEUhpxeuP4&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyM43Sw2OVc&feature=related ] , colluding with certain cartels [ http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/08/does_mexican_drug_cartel_have_deal_with_us_government.html ] to control the industry, and now openly protects and transports opium from Afghanistan [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElEciFI0Pew ] .  In fact, Global Research points out that in 2001, “according to UN figures, opium production had fallen to 185 tons. Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [ http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world ] ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

Guest Post: The West Has Just Become A Giant Banana Republic  Legal precedent means nothing. Rule of law means nothing. Free speech means nothing. Their own treaties mean nothing. It’s unbelievable. Anyone in the west who honestly thinks he’s still living in a free society is either a fool or completely out of touch. If that seems too radical an idea, consider that ECUADOR is now the only nation which stands to defend freedom and human rights against an assault from the United States, the United Kingdom, and their spineless allies. The west has just become a giant banana republic. Have you hit your breaking point yet? If not now… when?  { { I’m really constrained to interject my own direct experience with the FBI here; and, I must say I do so lamentably. If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the ‘tough’ questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal ‘drug ops’ (ops…riiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You can’t make this stuff up. I also don’t believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. I’m beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the ‘federal (judicial) system’ who share the ‘same employer’; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared ‘more fairly’ with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:  Debauchery: An American specialty In the land of Lindsay Lohan and Snooki, some federal workers reflect our culture all too well. (Washington Post) [ Lindsay Lohan? Come on Mr. Milbank, hands off the low hanging fruit. She’s totally harmless. Jersey ‘italian’ snooki?

Review of flawed forensics held close to vest EXCLUSIVE | Documents and interviews show FBI and Justice Department officials took steps to control information uncovered by a task force designed to examine cases involving discredited agents. Many defendants were never notified of flaws in cases. ‘Simply unconscionable’ (Washington Post) [ Well, I really have to say this. I’m awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ) . Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed the level and extent of corruption and criminality within the ranks of the u.s. government before embarking upon this costly quest for justice and simple fairness consistent with clear law (infra, regarding the u.s. government’s direct involvement in the illegal drug trade). In this civil RICO matter, there are no innocent bystanders; but rather, perpetrators, accomplices, and co-conspirators. When the fbi agent initially assigned to this matter (Connecticut) abruptly resigned/retired shortly after a conversation, though not central to my case, wherein I had said that rudy giuliani’s father had been an (convicted) enforcer for the mob (served 12 years? in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter?) and then sent him documentation owing to his disbelief. Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard. I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agent’s departure who somewhat plaintively (‘my call being a burden’) told me that ‘he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari’, which he didn’t explain further. Could anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jersey’s FBI office, I was ‘greeted’ by an FBI Agent who sarcastically asked me whether I was ‘going to the disco that night’ (the documents including sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alito’s office in the same building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   . We all can infer sam alito’s reward / quid pro quo for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme court.  There was never a question as to maryanne trump barry’s interest in corrupting the judicial process as related to her brother’s (trump) casinos. Jersey city boy louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klayman as the most corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly holder’s impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvd’s sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference. I’m currently being ‘stonewalled’ by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI Agent Bill Lewis

'Liberty Reserve' And Why Some Money Launderers Are "More Equal" Than Others

There are countless examples of rampant criminality and corruption as well as blatant evidence of a two-tier system of justice in America today.  Too many to note or write about, but in this case we want to focus on this concept of “money laundering” in light of the recent shutdown of Liberty Reserve.  The crackdown on Liberty Reserve has nothing to do with “money laundering.”  It’s about a cartel of “too big to jail” banks and the fraud financial system they operate eliminating any players that try to encroach on their turf.  That isn’t capitalism, or socialism and it certainly isn’t anything close to freedom.  It is a parasitic, oligarch created feudalistic structure that must be done away with.  We often hear people say “we never learn from our mistakes.”  Incorrect.  People learn from their mistakes when there are consequences to their actions.  Of course criminals don’t learn from their mistakes when there are no serious consequences to their crimes.

 

 

Things That Make You Go Hhmm... Like Our Current Bizarro World

In his recent presentation, Grant Williams picked out several mathematical equations that simply don't work: equities vs. fundamentals, the gold price vs. the price of gold, Chinese economic activity vs. the Chinese GDP number, and France vs. well ... logic. In his latest 'Things That Make You Go Hhmm' extravaganza, he extends this series of 'Bizarro' situations to Japan, US Housing, high-yield credit, the outlandish effects that comments by central bank policy makers have on markets, and the curious disconnect between insider trades and the broader market among others. There are countless more of these disconnects (the strength of the euro vs. EU economic data being a key one), which lead to a fundamental conclusion that is hard to deny: Sdnob, seitiuqe, setar tseretni, and seicnerruc will all eventually leave Bizarro World and come crashing back down to Earth (where they are known as bonds, equities, interest rates, and currencies); and when they do, they will likely do the opposite of what they're doing right now.

American, British Citizens Killed In Syria

First a big caveat: the following comes from CNN, the world's farce leader, so take it with a quarry of salt. That said, CNN's household access is pervasive and when it comes to setting the social mood based on a news report, be it completely fabricated or not, the news organization is second to none. Which may be precisely why it is CNN that is reporting that in Syria - a place just itching for the proverbial match to be struck on a mountain of geopolitical gunpowder involving all the key actors: from the US, to Russia, Europe, China, and of course Israel, said match may have just been lit. To wit: "Syrian state-run television reported Thursday that forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad killed three Westerners, including an American woman and a British national, who they claim were fighting with the rebels and were found with weapons and maps of government military facilities."

Are Bond Yields Set To Soar? Not So Fast

US Treasury yields have risen sharply in the last four weeks with 10yr yields higher by about 50bps. Direct causation is hard to find. While the economic data has improved in places, the prices have moved much more than the facts. For just about every good piece of data, there was an equal piece of bad news. Then of course, there is Ben Bernanke who made the slightest hint to the possibility that a tapering of purchases could begin "in the next few meetings" if the economics warranted. But trying to position a trade based on the impact of the Fed quickly becomes a reflexive exercise going no place because the Treasury market finds a way to reflect macroeconomics despite them. The history of the Fed shows that economics always trumps their effects. This isn't to say that at any given moment, the Fed may have interest rates at a different level than they otherwise would be, but it isn't useful to use this as a reason to buy or sell because a change in their buying could just as easily mean that the economy will be weaker and thus rates would fall as that they would cause rates to rise. What this recent yield back-up boils down to is that the market is expecting that there is self-sustaining, above trend, GDP growth coming. It isn't often that prices become this divorced from fundamentals. Expecting self-sustaining above trend growth is hoping, not the result of a careful analysis. We continue to think that no matter how forceful this back-up has been, or where it ultimately peaks, we will see new low yields in the Treasury market before this cycle is over. Here are 7 short-term and 3 long-term reasons why we think they won't stay up here for long...

 

 

US Worker Wages: "Not Off The Lows"

US consumer confidence is soaring. That's great - there is a problem: the two year drop real US wages has never been lower.

 

 

When An FX Margin Clerk Flaps Its Wings In Japan, US Stocks Slide

Both VIX and credit markets decoupled to the downside soon after Europe closed as equities clambered higher amid lower and lower volumes. As we headed into the last hour though both markets snapped higher to catch up to stocks and that mini-capitulation seemed enough for the equity rally to run out of steam. With the JPY strengthening all day, equities ignored the message of the carry traders until the close - when a big sell-side imbalance (and reality) smacked stocks lower to catch down to the all-important VWAP level once again. The USD saw its worst two-days since Oct 2011 giving up 3 weeks of gains. Gold and Silver are up nicely on the week (1.6 to 2%), outperforming today. Equities still managed gains on the day (despite the late-day tumble) and (oddly) Treasuries also ended very marginally in the green. The last few minutes of the day - normally kept open for some levitating algo to save the day - was a cliff-dive as news of FX margin controls on the all-important JPY carry driver smashed all risk-assets lower.

 

 

Yen Spikes On News Japan Set To Impose New Forex Margin Trading Rules

Moments ago the 101 USDJPY tractor beam was broken, sending the pair lower, as a red headline hit the tape saying that...JAPAN TO IMPOSE NEW RULES ON FOREX MARGIN TRADING, NIKKEI SAYSWhich incidentally was long overdue: with the BOJ scrambling to contain bond (and stock, if only to the downside) volatility, it was always the FX market that was the primary uber-levered culprit moving both asset classes. As such, it was very surprising that in a world in which all correlated asset classes (just look at the USDJPY-ES relationship) are driven by FX, that currency leverage and margin rules have remained largely untouched by regulators and central bankers whose credibility is suddenly slipping away, alongside the surge in global market volatility in the past week.

 

 

Guest Post: How Cheap Credit Fuels Income/Wealth Inequality

Cheap credit is a great boon to the wealthy and a path to debt-serfdom for everyone else. The ever-widening chasm between the wealthy and the "rest of us" has generated any number of explanations for this deeply troubling phenomenon. Credit has rendered even the upper-income middle class family debt-serfs, while credit has greatly increased the opportunities for the wealthy to buy rentier income streams. Credit used to purchase unproductive consumption creates debt-serfdom; credit used to buy rentier assets adds to wealth and income. Unfortunately the average household does not have access to the credit required to buy productive assets; only the wealthy possess that perquisite. And so the rich get richer and everyone else gets poorer.

 

 

David Stockman: "The Error Of Central Banking Has Become Universal"

In the old normal ("when we had an honest Fed," under Volcker), David Stockman explains to CNBC's Rick Santelli, "the market could judge what Congress and the White House was doing and decide where the risk/reward equation was and how to price the bond, the note, the bills," but in the new normal, "today, the market is entirely rigged." Stockman is no fan of deficits and as he notes "is no fan of money-printing," pointing out that "it's not honest," for the Fed to fund these chronically growing deficits and "created an unsustainably dangerous financial system." In thie brief interview, Stockman (of The Great Deformation fame) sums it up perfectly to a just-as-concerned Santelli, when he notes, "the error of central banking has become unversal." We're taxing the futures generations, he concludes, "they're going to thank you for the massive disaster that was handed to them." The honesty will never come...

 

 

Virtually Entire US Media Boycotts "Off The Record" Meeting With Eric Holder

The New York Times, The Associated Press, The Huffington Post, CNN and now, of course, Fox News: these are the media organizations, superficially from across the political spectrum, which have said they will boycott a meeting with the DOJ's embattled head, Eric Holder, on the topic of the DOJ's (not to mention the NSA's) Nixonian abuse of the first amendment and eavesdropping wherever and whenever it so chooses. The twist: the meeting is, paradoxically, supposed to be "off the record." One wonders: was this the DOJ's idea of being open and transparent - to hold a closed door meeting with the same media that it, allegedly, has been spying on, and thus put the media whose job is to report events - as in keeping the public informed - in a place where it can't do precisely that? It is as if the Marx Brothers are writing the tragicomic script for a sequence of events that inevitably ends with Holder's resignation and Obama's washing his hands of the whole affair.

 

 

Trickle Down Works: UBS Joins Federal Reserve In Hiking Banker Salaries By 9%

 

 

Treasury Closes Issuance Week With Strong 7 Year Auction; Direct Takedown Second Highest Ever

Tuesday's weak 2 Year bond auction is now a distant memory, and following yesterday's strong 5 Year it was not surprising to see a very strong pick up in demand for the just concluded 7 Year auction. On the surface, the auction was very strong with the high yield printing at 1.496%, stopping through the 1.515% When Issued if still the highest since March 2012. The internals were also very strong, with the Bid to Cover closing at 2.70, in line with last month's 2.71, and above the TTM average of 2.68. More importantly, Direct demands soared with 20.68% of the takedown going to Direct bidders, the second highest ever in this series, and lower only to December's 23.11%. Indirects were no slouch either, with a final allotment of 40.84%, leaving just 38.48% for Dealers, the lowest take down for 2013. So with very strong primary market demand along the belly, it is safe to say all rumors of a blow up in the US bond market are greatly exaggerated. Remember: TSYs still continue to be the primary source of repoable collateral and for the time being at least, everyone still wants them.

 

 

4 'Incendiary' Charts For Trouble In Socialist Paradise

Anytime a free market guy rails against central planning and socialism, there is always someone who stands up and says “what about Sweden?” Ah, Sweden... a socialist’s paradise... a place where taxes are among the highest in the world, few people are wealthy, and the government is involved in people’s lives from cradle to grave. And in all of these government surveys on ‘happiness’, places like Sweden, Norway, and Denmark consistently rank among the happiest countries in the world. Well… the veneer is cracking. The riots we first noted here continue and these foru charts may offer some of in the incendiary material for why. As we noted recently, the benefits that have kept Europe relatively 'social-unrest-free' so far are starting to run dry. People in North America who are rapidly being dragged into a welfare state should pay very close attention... because this is the future that awaits.

 

 

French Jobseekers Reach All-Time High

Despite 'market-based' appearances (CAC near price highs and OATs near low spreads), the reality in France is dismal and growing more dismal. As we have explained in great detail (here and here most recently) France's economic fortunes are depression-like and today's Jobseeker data merely goes to confirm this. The total number of Gallic Jobseekers rose to 3.26 million, the highest ever on record and is accelerating at its fastest YoY rate in over three years. This month's gain of 39,800 was far above the 30,000 expectation but have no fear as Mr. Hollande promises to do whatever it takes. Interestingly, just as in the US, it is the young (under-25 +10,800) and middle-aged (25-49 +21,400) demographic that is suffering the most while the over-50 population saw only modest rises in joblessness. No green shoots here for the EU political elite to proclaim the crisis is behind us...

 

 

Time To Sell Foreclosed Homes Hits Record

Those who recall about the implicit housing subsidy we discussed when we coined the term "foreclosure stuffing" which is merely the well-planned systemic bottleneck to clearing foreclosed properties already in the system, and thus artificially reduce housing supply will be happy to learn that according to RealtyTrac the average time for a foreclosed property to sell just hit a record at nearly 400 days across the entire nation.

 

 

This Won't End Well

With both the Real Estate and Banking equity indices in Japan already in bear markets (down over 20% from recent highs) and the broad indices down over 15%, just how much pain can the massive influx of foreign capital take before the exodus really takes hold. Today's 'news' of the GPIF's allocation shift won't be enough to stem the tide as 'foreigners' (who have flooded on an epic scale into Japanese stocks) step away to the next hot-money focus... this won't end well.

 

 

Word Of The Day: UP, As In Stocks, Bonds And VIX

S&P 500 futures are up a healthy 9 points seemingly on the basis that bad-is-good and EUR or JPY are driving correlating-algos. But, it's not just the equity market that is 'Up' - VIX (the hedging vehicle) is 'Up'... Treasury bonds (the anti-risk vehicle) are 'Up'... and Swiss short-dated bonds (the EU safe-haven) are 'Up'... all makes perfect sense to someone we are sure.

 

 

Jeff Gundlach: "There Is No Such Thing As Economic Analysis Anymore"

"Since we're dealing with markets that are being manipulated by central bank policies, there is no such thing as economic analysis anymore. All you have is the imaginations of central bankers, and you don't know what they're going to do, so you have to be diversified."

 

 

The Other Great Rotation?

It appears that the USD is no longer the cleanest dirty shirt - but precious metals, perhaps? And amid all this chaos in fiat and non-fiat currency markets, equities and bonds remain somewhat stoic. This is the biggest 2-day drop in the USD in 19 months. These are chaotic movements in colossal markets (that dwarf equity market capitalization) - but of course, none of that matters.

 

 

This Is Your Market On Centrally-Planned Steroids

Deteriorating economic data? Check. No volume? Check. Increasing expectations the Fed will taper? Check. So what does a "stock market" do - it tags along to the USDJPY which ramps just because it bounces off the 101 algorithmic support level, and just happens to take the S&P up 10 points with it. Then EUR takes over for the ramp. New normal "trading"...

 

 

The US Economy Is "Off The Lows"

ECB Warns Calm Before Storm Ending

The European Central Bank warned yesterday that six quarters of recession are eroding the resilience of banks and risk ending what it describes as 'the calmest period in financial markets since 2011'. As Bloomberg's Niraj Shah notes, the Bloomberg Euro-area Financial Conditions Index has averaged 0.31 this year, compared with -1.47 in 2012 and the measure has only ended in negative territory on three days this year. However, it has very recently fallen to its lowest in a month as financial CDS begin to rise (even with Mrs. Watanabe's presence) to once again wider on the year. As The ECB adds, "Financial stability conditions in the euro area remain fragile. Several vulnerabilities in the interaction between sovereigns, banks and the macroeconomy persist."

 

 

"No Warning Can Save People Determined To Grow Suddenly Rich"

At the height of the financial crisis (i.e. 2008) it was easy to despise just the bankers for their serial and colossal ineptitude and rank hypocrisy. Now, five years into one of history’s most alarming bubbles, it’s easy to despise just about everyone in a position of financial or political authority, and for the same reasons. The real black comedy lies in the manipulation of market prices that is now endemic throughout the global financial system. As Japan is now showing, even with the unrestrained commitment of a central bank and its magical powers to create money out of nothing, there are practical limits to market rigging activity. Last week’s price action within the Japanese government bond market and stock market suggests that both of these markets are in the early stages of shaking themselves to pieces. The fallout of unintended (counter-intended ?) consequences from massive market manipulation will be awesome.

 

 

Bad News Is Good As GDP, Claims Miss Pushes Futures Higher; Five States' Data "Estimated"

Update: so much for the kneejerk reaction sending futs higher on the bad data: USDJPY dragging everything down now.Just when there was some concern that the US economy was no longer imploding at the usual pace, we get confirmation that nothing is actually better, following the one-two punch of weaker than expected Q1 revised GDP data, printing at 2.4% on expectations of an unchanged 2.5% print driven by a revision in Private Inventories (from 1.03% to 0.63% of total GDP, offset by a plunge in imports sliding from -0.9% to -0.32%). Personal Consumption posted a tiny increase from 2.24% to 2.40% which can only mean the consumer overextended themselves in Q1 - perhaps it is about time to ask the question of how consumption in the "sequester" and tax-hike quarter was the highest since Q4 2010. Additionally, initial claims increased from the as usual upward-revised 344K to 354K, on expectations of a 340K print. But fear not: what both these data points showed is that any fears that the monthly Fed flow may slow down from the $85 billion monthly to a ghastly $75 billion or, heaven forbid, a tiny $65 billion monthly increase in the Fed's balance sheet, may be deferred. End result: futures jump higher. Because it is a Bizarro Ben, or Benzarro for short, market after all.

 

 

First Shipment Of Russian S-300 Rockets Arrives In Syria

Two days ago we reported that the most recent escalation in the Syrian proxy war involved a bitter exchange between Russia and Israel, where the latter warned the former that it would proceed with destroying any arms shipments from Russia into Syria, specifically referencing the S-300 missiles that has been known to be en route to Damascus for several weeks now. The Israel defense minister warned that: "The shipments haven't set out yet and I hope they won't. If they do arrive in Syria, God forbid, we'll know what to do." Well, according to Lebanese newspaper al-Akhbar not only has the shipment been sent out, but it has already arrived. Check to Israel and coming through on its warning to begin an offensive action not only against Syria, but more importantly, implicitly against Russia.

 

 

Gold Bar Supply Constraints In Singapore Sees Record Premiums

Traders and speculators are watching the $1,413/oz resistance level. A daily close above this level will likely trigger the beginnings of a short squeeze. Holdings in the largest bullion-backed exchange-traded product expanded yesterday for the first time since May 9. Strong premiums for gold bars in Asia show that jewellers and investors are busy buying bullion on this dip. In Singapore, Reuters reports that “supply constraints” have sent premiums to “all time highs” at $7 to spot London prices. Animal spirits are returning to the gold market in the ‘Land of the Dragon’ in this the ‘Year of the Snake’. The volume for the Shanghai Gold Exchange’s benchmark cash contract surged to 19,599 kilograms yesterday from 15,641 kilograms the day before. In two days the volumes have nearly doubled and surged from 10,094 kilograms to 19,599 or 94%.

America's Bubble Economy Is Going To Become An Economic Black HoleWhat is going to happen when the greatest economic bubble in the history of the world pops?  The mainstream media never talks about that.  They are much too busy covering the latest dogfights in Washington and what Justin Bieber has been up to.  And most Americans seem to think that if the Dow keeps setting new all-time highs that everything must be okay.  Sadly, that is not the case at all. Right now, the U.S. economy is exhibiting all of the classic symptoms of a bubble economy. What we are witnessing right now is the calm before the storm.  Let us hope that it lasts for as long as possible so that we can have more time to prepare. Unfortunately, this bubble of false hope will not last forever.  At some point it will end, and then the pain will begin.  http://albertpeia.com/usbubbleeconomicblackhole.htm

Housing Bubble II: Euphoria And Other Shenanigans Posted by: testosteronepit Post date: 05/29/2013 - The good old days are back, those of the last housing bubble when money grew on trees.

 

Flipping Homes Back To 2005 LevelsA month ago when we presented RealtyTrac's analysis of 25 markets where flipping homes is most profitable (yes, they really did that) some thought we were joking: after all can people really be that stupid and forget the crushing aftermath of a housing bubble that popped just seven short years ago driven by the very same underlying factors as the second housing bubble we are experiencing right now. Apparently when the entire economy is flooded in cheap Bernanke (and Kuroda) bux, not only they can, but they will and damn fast too. As for the consequences: this time will surely be different. Either way, we were not joking and as the WSJ followed up on just this topic earlier today, it turns out that house flipping is now back to levels last seen in 2005.

 

Volcker On Bernanke's Grand Monetary Experiment: "Good Luck In That" The Federal Reserve, any central bank, should not be asked to do too much to undertake responsibilities that it cannot responsibly meet with its appropriately limited powers, Volcker said. He said a central banks basic responsibility is for a stable currency. Credibility is an enormous asset, Volcker said. Once earned, it must not be frittered away by yielding to the notion that a little inflation right now is a good a thing, a good thing to release animal spirits and to pep up investment.  The implicit assumption behind that siren call must be that the inflation rate can be manipulated to reach economic objectives, according to Volcker. Up today, maybe a little more tomorrow and then pulled back on command. Good luck in that. All experience demonstrates that inflation, when fairly and deliberately started, is hard to control and reverse.

 

Understanding Gold Market DynamicsTo an extent that reveals a thorough misunderstanding of the market forces, the financial media has failed to consider the different motivations and beliefs that drive the different types of investors who are active in the gold market. By treating the gold market as if it were comprised of just one type of investor, analysts have drawn false conclusions about the recent volatility.

 

What Happens After a 70% Stock Market Rally In 6 Months?What happened in Japan last week (a 14% decline after a 85% rally since last fall) is an example of markets getting ahead of the facts on the ground. How much optimism was priced into the success of Japans monetary policy bazooka? As JPMorgan's Michael Cemblaest notes, P/E multiples rose from 11x to 17x since last Labor Day, and breakeven inflation implied by (admittedly thin) Japanese JGB-i bond markets rose to 2%, a level Japan has not seen consistently since 1990. On top of that, net long positions on the Tokyo Stock exchange were close to the highest levels in 20 years, and foreign participation in Japanese equity markets was also elevated. It did not take much detailed market research to see that Japan had become a crowded and popular trade. But what happens next? After a 70% run-up over 6 months, how have stocks performed? The answer may surprise many...

 

"Wilful Blindness" And The 3 Bullish ArgumentsAs the markets elevate higher on the back of the global central bank interventions it is important to keep in context the historical tendencies of the markets over time. Here we are once again with markets, driven by inflows of liquidity from Central Banks, hitting all-time highs. Of course, the chorus of justifications have come to the forefront as to why "this time is different." The current level of overbought conditions, combined with extreme complacency, in the market leave unwitting investors in danger of a more severe correction than currently anticipated. There is virtually no bullish argument that will withstand real scrutiny. Yield analysis is flawed because of the artificial interest rate suppression. It is the same for equity risk premium analysis. However, because the optimistic analysis supports the underlying psychological greed - all real scrutiny that would reveal evidence to contrary is dismissed. However, it is "willful blindness" that eventually leads to a dislocation in the markets. In this regard let's review the three most common arguments used to support the current market exuberance.

 

Remember Those Apple Bonds?Presenting a quick and painful, for some, lesson in duration and bond math.

 

Oil Leaked, Bond Volatility Peaked, Credit Markets TweakedAfter a disastrous day yesterday a bounce in bonds was at least on-the-cards and they went out at the low yields of the day (-6bps). Equity markets oscillated around their opening level of the US day-session with the S&P futures ending the day down over 8 points (in the middle of the range) glued to VWAP at the day-session close. Credit markets faded rapidly and while stocks are unch from last Thursday's close, high-yield and investment-grade spreads are significantly wider. VIX had another up-day (breaking above 15% intraday) but closing at 14.8% (highest in 5 weeks) but more criticaly MOVE (bond VIX) spiked to its highest in 9 months. Many talked about bond-like stocks getting hammered but it is noteworthy that homebuilders suffered the most today. USD weakness (and JPY strength) were the theme in FX markets as carry continued to be unwound of yesterday's peak and in turn this helped gold and silver push around +0.5% on the week. Oil prices slumped most in a month, testing below $93 at their lows. Equity volume ended above average, average trade size was low, and the S&P closed below its up-channel trend.

 

 

10 Under-Reported Realities In The US Labor MarketBeneath the unemployment rate and headline jobs number is a world of labor market signals that few, if any, ever take the time to look at. ConvergEx's Nick Colas analyzes 10 under-reported signals to look for alternative clues about the direction of the job market and, in his words, the results arent pretty.  Were still 2 years away from full employment at the current pace of job growth, and more people are entering the labor force for the first time since the 1980s, adding to already fierce competition for open positions.  Not to mention over 7% of those not in the labor force actually want a job right now (also intensifying competition), and the rate of job growth isnt enough to offset the number of unemployed workers with expiring benefits.  On the plus side, the number of re-entrants to the labor force is at a 4-year low.  And for those who do have a job, average wages are higher than ever. However, the majority of the analysis shows the labor market remains stubbornly resistant to improvement - despite talking heads belief in 'taper'ing on improvements.

 

Central Banks' Central Bank Warns About Rehypothecation ThreatsWhile certain types of rehypothecation can be beneficial to market functioning, if collateral collected to protect against the risk of counterparty default has been rehypothecated, then it may not be readily available in the event of a default. This, in turn, may increase system interconnectedness and procyclicality, and could amplify market stresses. Therefore, when collateral is rehypothecated, it is important to understand under what circumstances and the extent to which the rehypothecation has occurred; or in other words, how long the collateral chain is... Financial intermediaries should provide sufficient disclosure to clients when collateral assets posted by them are rehypothecated; rehypothecation should be allowed only for the purpose of financing the long position of clients and not for financing the own-account activities of the intermediary; and only entities subject to adequate regulation of liquidity risk should be allowed to engage in the rehypothecation of client assets."

 

 

Banks Behaving As If 'It' Never HappenedToday's Quarterly FDIC data release was cheered by many on the basis that US banks made the most money ever ($40.6bn) in Q1 which must mean something positive, right? With rates low, spreads low, margin high, and collateral in short supply, where all these profits coming from? The following chart, which may make some nauseous in its simple and direct clarification of just how blind we have become to what is going on, has the answer. Simply put, bank earninsg have soared on the back of nothing less than a total collapse in loan loss provisions (LLPs). In fact, LLPs are now at their lowest levels since the peak of the housing bubble (and as we showed yesterday here and here, a bubble this is) - at a level of reserves that suggest the banks believe 'It' never happened. The delusion continues...

America's Bubble Economy Is Going To Become An Economic Black HoleWhat is going to happen when the greatest economic bubble in the history of the world pops?  The mainstream media never talks about that.  They are much too busy covering the latest dogfights in Washington and what Justin Bieber has been up to.  And most Americans seem to think that if the Dow keeps setting new all-time highs that everything must be okay.  Sadly, that is not the case at all. Right now, the U.S. economy is exhibiting all of the classic symptoms of a bubble economy. What we are witnessing right now is the calm before the storm.  Let us hope that it lasts for as long as possible so that we can have more time to prepare. Unfortunately, this bubble of false hope will not last forever.  At some point it will end, and then the pain will begin.  http://albertpeia.com/usbubbleeconomicblackhole.htm

Student Loan Bubble? Just Discharge It Remember the face on the left: it belongs to Mike Hedlund, and it will become much more popular in the coming months and years, because following a historic court decision, Mike just saw the bulk of his student loans discharged following a 10 year battle with the US legal system and his student loan lenders. A decision that will open the floodgates for countless cases just like his, leading to yet another taxpayer funded bailout amounting to hundreds of billions in deferred dollars (read government debt that has to be inflated away) and for which the final bill will again be footed by... you dear US taxpayer.

 

NYSE Margin Debt Rises To New All Time High As Net Worth Slides To Record LowWith everything else in uncharted territory: central bank balance sheets, the stock market, global debt, it was only a matter of time before that old-school indicator of exuberance - margin debt - also joined the ranks of things that are "off the charts." Never one to disappoint (except when Waddell and Reed dumps a "massive" 75,000 ES trade which promptly kills its liquidity replenishment points of course), the NYSE has reported that April margin debt, as expected, hit all time records, just in time for the S&P's own all time high fireworks spectacular.  Rising from the just shy of summer of 2007 levels posted in March, or $380 billion, April margin debt not surprisingly rose to a record high of $384 billion. Additionally, even when netting out account credit metrics, such as Free Credit Cash and Credit Balances in margin accounts, total investor net worth just hit an all time record low of ($106) billion.

 

 

Which Asset Would You Rather Hold As Collateral? In a world of shrinking 'quality' collateral to back the ever-increasing leverage and reach-for-yield practicalities of a centrally-repressed market, it seems the actions of the BoJ (as we warned over a month ago) may have just removed the last best hope for keeping Japanese rates stable. As the chart below shows, JGB volatility is simply off-the-scale relative to the other major bond markets. Sustainable? How much return (yield) would you demand for such risk (volatility) before just jettisoning the position?

 

 

Government To The People: "Do As We Say, Not As We Do"Ron Paul kept a sign on his desk during his time in Congress that read: "Don't steal. The government hates competition." These days, perhaps a more appropriate saying would be "Dont violate people's civil liberties. The government hates competition." In the Land of the Free, it would appear they actually want to make this a law with the introiduction of bill S1057, "prohibiting the use of unmanned aircraft systems by private individuals to conduct surveillance of other private persons." So what the esteemed Senators are telling us is that its bad (and hence should be unlawful) to invade peoples privacy. Unless the government is doing it, in which case its just fine. Simply put, "No Drones for you."

 

Syria Goes Hot: Russia To Deliver Weapons, Deploys Air Defense; Israel Warns Russia; Obama Demands No Fly ZoneThose who were intently following the USDJPY pair formerly known as the stock market today missed the biggest news of the day: the proxy war in Syria just went hot, following a confluence of news, first that Russia insisted "it would deliver anti-aircraft missiles to Syria despite international criticism, as fears of spillover from the conflict grew" and in logical retaliation to yesterday's decision by Europe to lift an arms embargo to the Al Qaeda-supported, Qatari mercenaries operating in Syria, also known as "rebels. This lead Israel's defense minister Moshe Yaalon to immediately signal that "its military is prepared to strike shipments of advanced Russian weapons to Syria." Meanwhile back in the US "the White House has asked the Pentagon to draw up plans for a no-fly zone inside Syria that would be enforced by the U.S. and other countries such as France and Great Britain, two administration officials told The Daily Beast." And just to make it very clear that Russia is not bluffing, it announced overnight that its four regiments of S-300 air defense systems have been deployed at the Ashuluk firing range in southern Russia as part of another snap combat readiness check of the Russian armed forces "The missions will be carried out in conditions of heavy electronic warfare to test the capabilities of the air defense units to the highest limit." And to think: yet another threat of a global war over some natgas pipelines from Qatar to Europe, and a threat to Gazprom's monopoly.

 

 

20 Out Of 20 "Tuesdays" For The Dow; Worst Day In Bonds For 19 MonthsUPDATE: S&P 500 futures plunged back to the lows of the day as soon as cash closed.The streak is alive. For the 20th Tuesday in a row, The Dow Jones Industrials have closed green. With an average gain of 80 points, since 1/25, the Dow is up an impressive 11% but absent Tuesdays is merely unchanged at +0.2%. Today saw significantly volatility in stocks though with Nikkei and S&P futures giving up all their gains at one point only to bounce back into the close for a glorious victory. Volatility was everywhere as the collapse of the JGB market spills over. VIX rose 0.5 vols to 14.5% (disagreeing with stocks). FX markets jerked and gapped with JPY ending down around 1% from Friday's close. Commodities diverged today with Copper and Oil rising and Gold and Silver sliding even with the 0.75% gain on the USD this week. High yield credit slid lower all day but we suspect this was dominated by rate risk as Treasury volatility exploded. 10Y yields rose by their most (+16.5bps or 5-sigma) since Oct 2011 to close at their highest since April 2012.

 

 

Chart Of The Day: Crushed US Consumer + All Time High New Home Prices = Record Housing Bubble We must have discovered a new bug in excel, because when we took median new home prices (which a week ago hit an all time high) which we then divided by the average American's purchasing power expressed through real disposable income per capita, we got this chart...

 

Why Nonsensical Spanish Data Is About To Make Even Less SenseSpanish economic data does not always pass the sniff test. A simple example that JPMorgan's Michael Cembalest explains is that as unemployment rose from 10% to 25% from 2008 to Q2 2012, Spanish banks reported stable non-performing loans of 3%. The latest Mad-riddle, as he calls it, has to do with corporate profits but recent headlines from PM Rajoy, explaining his approach to solving the country's devastating youth unemployment problem just beggars belief. Simply put, as Bloomberg reports, he proposes to create a mechanism to temporarily exclude tax rebates granted to companies for hiring young people from the calculation of the government budget deficit - which, his twisted logic prompts, "would enable immediate action because wed lower contributions to the Social Security system and this would facilitate and encourage hiring. So in summary, his suggestion to boost youth employment is... to further misreport the deficit and to underfund social security even more. With Spanish data already questionable (as we discuss below), this simply exaggerates an already farcical situation.

 

 

Presenting The Full Impact Of Stock Buybacks On S&P 500 "Earnings"There has been much speculation in the recent past over what the bottom-line impact of surging stock buyback activity has been on the overall S&P earnings: after all, by removing shares from circulation, the denominator in "per share" calculation gets smaller and smaller with every incremental buyback. Courtesy of JPM we finally have a definitive answer to this long-running question. Of the change in S&P TTM operating earnings between Q3 2011 and the just completed Q1 2013, a stunning 60% or $2.20, of all "gains" of $3.70 have been the result of buybacks. The remainder: a tiny $1.50 is due to actual organic growth. This means that nearly 60% of the bridge between the LTM operating earnings of $94.60 as of Q3 2011 to $98.30 at Q1 2013 has come from corporate management teams engaging in shareholder friendly activity.

 

 

"I Give A Damn": A Capitalist Manifesto For The Productive ClassCorruption thrives when good people do nothing. Societies rebound when good people do something. Isn't it time to make democratic capitalism happen. Democratic capitalism is about worthwhile production and exchange by communities of people who give a damn. It is expressly not about either crony-driven concentration of wealth or government redistribution.

 

 

Keeping The 'Recovery' Dream Alive; 3 Big Banks Halt Foreclosures In May What is the only thing better than Foreclosure Stuffing to provide an artificial supply-side subsidy to the housing market? How about completely clogging the foreclosure pipeline, by halting all foreclosure sales, which is just what the three TBTF megabanks: Wells Fargo, JPMorgan and Citi have done in recent weeks. Under the guise of 'ensuring late-stage foreclosure procedures were in accordance with guidelines', the LA Times reports that these three banks paused sales on May 6th and all but halted foreclosures. Perfectly organic housing recovery - as we noted earlier... and guess what states the greatest number of 'halts' are in from these banks - California, Nevada, Arizona - exactly where the surges in price have occurred.

 

 

Bid To Cover Slides, Primary Dealer Takedown Surges In Weak 2 Year AuctionMoments ago the US Treasury sold another $35 billion in 2 Year paper in what can only be classified as one of the weakest 2 short-end auction in the recent past. While the high yield rose notably from 0.233% to 0.283%, it is still at negligible ZIRPy levels associated with Bernanke's extended promise to keep the short-end as virtually equivalent to cash currency. With increasing rumblings that the Fed may be tapering, tightening, and otherwise pushing the short-end higher over the next two years, there was little such fear manifesting in the auction's yield which telegraphs nothing but smooth sailing for the next two years in terms of where Bernanke sees yield: perhaps a better indicator will be demand for the 3 Year auction next week which is seen on the cusip of the ZIRP time barrier.  That said, the internals were ugly, with the Bid to Cover sliding from 3.63x to 3.04x, the lowest since the 3.03x seen in February 2011. But it was the general abdication by Direct bidders, who took down a tiny 12.6% of the auction compared to a TTM average of 21.58%, and the lowest since July 2012. Same with Indirects who were left with just 21.93% of the allocation, meaning Dealers had to end with 65.47% of the auction. This was the highest Dealer take down since April 2009. Oh well: at least they will have plenty of "money good" collateral against which to rehypothecate and use the cash proceeds to buy stocks and other risk assets, at least until such time as the Fed proceeds to monetize this paper as well.

 

 

Eric Holder Under Investigation By House Judiciary Committee For Lying Under OathWith the euphoric market once again serving as a much needed distraction from far bigger geopolitical issues, many have forgotten the plethora of scandals the Obama administration has recently found itself engulfed in. This may change shortly, following news that the head of the US Department of Justice, Eric Holder himself, is now being investigated for lying under oath. Will he too receive an extended absence of leave (with pay) after pleading the fifth, or will the circle of lies slowly but surely start to unwind? Of course, in the New Normal it is probably not only expected, but given, that the chief legal enforcer is just a little more equal when it comes to the same justice he is tasked to enforce.

 

 

Schaeuble Warns Of "Revolution" If Welfare Model Threatened Over the weekend, when discussing the latest casualty of Bernanke's disastrous monetary policy, the US corporate pension plan, we touched on a topic that has been a recurring theme on these pages: "the start of the unwind of the welfare myth, if only in the private sector for now, made worse by Ben Bernanke's endless tinkering in what was formerly a free market, should be making the guardians of the status quo very, very nervous... and certainly has the disciples of the Bismarckian welfare state delusion on their toes, because they can see very well what is coming down the road." Moments ago none other than Germany's finance minister, Schrodinger Schauble, explained just why this observation is at the core of all modern problem, going so far as using the R-word in the context of Europe (first, and then everywhere else).

 

 

US Mint Resumes Selling One-Tenth Ounce Gold Coins... At A 40% Premium To Spot When news broke a month ago that the US Mint had suspended selling one-tenth ounce gold coins, perhaps the most surprising news was that there were thousands of consumers willing to pay the exorbitant retail premium demanded by the US mint, with the resulting order deluge promptly sapping the mint's stretched inventories. Well: we have good news - as of moments ago the US mint has once again restocked on the popular denomination (with a 20,000 production limit), and without a limit per household. The even better news: the coin will set you back just $195. This means a "tiny" 40% premium to spot.

 

 

Stocks Nervously Eyeing Soaring Bond YieldsWhile this morning's explosion higher in Treasury bond yields (the largest in 9 months) was 'evidence' for many of the 'great rotation' as stocks rallied; it seems that now the 'crowd' is selling everything. Stocks, commodities, bonds, and credit are all offered (while the USD and precious metals are bid). The end of POMO appears to have stalled the exuberance and cracked the JPY collapse of the day (for now - since it is Tuesday). With the 10Y yield now well above the S&P 500 yield, we wonder what 'measure of cheapness' will be wheeled out next to justify buying stocks again.

 

 

When Reality Intrudes: When Is A Stock Buyback Not A Stock Buyback?Over a year ago we wrote "How The Fed's Visible Hand Is Forcing Corporate Cash Mismanagement" in which we explained that due to ZIRP, management teams are left with just two (very shareholder-friendly) capital allocation choices: stock buybacks and dividends, to the detriment of such much more long-term critical uses of funds as capital expenditures, and to a lesser extent M&A. So far, this observation has proven spot on with buybacks (most of which using leverage to arb the record low cost of debt, notably in the case of Apple) dominating cash allocation decisions. However, there is a key drawback to this strategy: corporate assets whose age has hit all time highs across the globe.  Naturally, this is a critical issue in a world in which the return on assets is now rapidly declining as seen in two years of deteriorating profit margins, and in which as much utility has been extracted as possible from an asset base which in many cases is well beyond its functional age. Logically, more and more companies will have no choice but to reasses capital deployment and in the coming months formerly very shareholder friendly companies will have no choice but to redeploy cash from dividends and buyback and to long-ignored capex once more. We bring this up because moments ago Dole Food just provided the missing piece to this capital allocation puzzle.

 

 

Despite Plunge In New Orders, Employees, Wages, And Workweek, Richmond Fed Beats ExpectationsJust because you have to laugh (rightfully so since it seems everyone is so 'confident'), we thought a quick look under the covers of the Richmond Fed 'beat' was worthwhile. The index 'rose' from -6 to -2 (still negative), beating expectations of -4, seemingly driven by a 'surge' in Shipments (from -9 to +8). The Richmond Fed accounts for around 9.1% of the nation's GDP so it is intriguing that (drum roll please)... New order volume plunged to its lowest since January; the number of Employees swung to a negative, also its lowest since January; the average workweek cratered to -6 (its lowest since August 2012); and Wages dropped near its lowest level in a year. But apart from all that... of course, it's 'expectations' that are keeping the dream alive (despite a fading belief in higher wages). So hard data about the current situation is still collapsing but 'hope' brings us off the ledge?

 

 

Surge In Consumer Confidence To 2008 Levels Sends 10 Year Yield To 2013 HighsThe Conference Board's measure of just how awesome everyone feels just hit its highest level since February 2008 driven by an impressive surge in 'Expectations'. This should surprise nobody: as we previewed earlier today, "just to make sure that the market closes well green today, the only actual "data" will be yet another reading of consumer "confidence" this time from the Conference Board. Expect this to surge on news that it is Tuesday and stocks have nowhere to go but up, which in turn will send stocks, where else but, up." In short: reflexivity in all its glory. And to think it was just 10 days ago that the market reacted in absolutely the same way to a UMichigan confidence print that beat expectations by the most ever and to the highest since 2007. Perhaps if the US had one consumer confidence metric for every day of the week, all days would be like Tuesdays.

 

 

What Do Arizona, California And Nevada Have In Common?What states were the primary drivers of the 2006 housing bubble, at least right before the "subprime is contained" pop that is? Those who said Phoenix, California and Nevada you are in the right direction. We bring it up because according to the just released Case-Shiller data for March, these three same states, indicated by the representative MSAs of Phoenix, San Francisco and Las Vegas, are once again heading the charge in the latest bubble fed by Bernanke's cheap credit. What do they have in common: they were the three to post a greater than 20% increase in home prices compared to last year. Where was Detroit? Sadly it just barely missed the cut off with a far less bubbly 18% increase in home prices.

The Week That Was: May 20th - May 24th 2013Succinctly summarizing the positive and negative news, data, and market events of the week...

 

Dead Dog Bounce Deja Vu Ends 2nd-Worst Week Of The Year For StocksThe 2nd worst week of the year (2nd only to Cyprus) for US equities was accompanied by Treasury buying as the JPY carry trade unwind continues in every risky-or-'yieldy' product. On an admittedly low volume day (typically good for a magical levitation in stocks), Treasury markets closed the day unchanged (and 30Y bonds ended the week unchanged). Stocks bounced after testing yesterday's intraday lows but intriguingly (Mrs. Watanabe?) it was Utilities that were the hardest hit sector on the day as stocks fell back rapidly after bonds closed finding balance at VWAP. The JPY strength weighed on the USD as it fell 0.7% on the week with gold and silver both up notably relative to other asset classes (+1.8% and 0.5% respectively). The last minute of the day saw a ridiculous instantaneous spike to take the S&P 500 to their day-session highs to desparately try to regain green on the day (SPX cash closed -0.87 points). Futures closed green with an 8 point run from 455ET (as we note no credit police were around to stop the idiocy).

 

 

Presenting Ben Bernanke's Desktop - Redux Just as Ben Bernanke's monetary easing program changes with the times (back then he believed it was the Stock that mattered, now it is Flow, but one thing is constant: always moar), so does his computer desktop. And while we know, tentatively, what his preferred computer space looked like three years ago, the times have changed. Behold Ben Bernanke's new and improved PC desktop...

 

 

Yet Another Debt Chart That Is Not Big Enough To Fit Japan By now every single chart laying out every possible permutation of a hopelessly insolvent and overlevered world has been compiled, created, colored and in some cases, animated and socially networked. The following chart showing global debt dynamics over time from the WSJ is no different: it is animated (check) it has lots of pretty colors (check), and it is quite informative because it remembers that in addition to public sector debt, there is a thing called the private sector (sadly it avoids shadow debt: perhaps someone good at making 3D animated charts should take a stab?) and succeeds in incorporating everything in one cool animation. Yet why it may be most memorable, or not as the case may be, is that it is merely the latest chart in a seemingly infinite series which are just not big enough to fit Japan.  Perhaps it is time to make a chart of all the charts that need to be bigger to show the true Japanese state of affirs.  That, or in reverence to the sadist joke, pardon "experiment" (as Jens Weidmann would say) that is Abenomics, we can finally start making bigger charts.

 

The Rich Actually Are Different With the long-weekend rapidly approaching, ConvergEx's Nick Colas takes a trip to the Hamptons, but through a time warp back to the Great Depression.  Examining the social registers (colloquially called the Blue Book) from 1927 and 1940, he finds that The great and the good of the day had real trouble holding their status during the social upheavals of the late 1920s and 1930s.  Only 32% of the families appearing in the Blue Book in 1927 were still there in 1940.  The ratio was even worse, at 29%, for the ultra-elite who belonged to the Meadow Club in Southampton.  Its too early to tell what the last few volatile years will do to the upper crust of East Coast society, of course.  Or what may still be in store.  But when the hedgie in the Bentley cuts you off on Route 27 this weekend, take some solace in knowing he may not be there in a few years. Yes, the wealthy are different. Every year there are different wealthy people.

 

The Economic Engine Of Europe Is Beginning To Sputter Despite ultra-low interest rates, practically unlimited liquidity, and a capital market seemingly willing to lend to anyone for anything on any terms, the very heart of Europe's economy - German CapEx on machinery - is falling at a rate faster than during the Tech bust... the tough news for anyone looking for a silver lining is that this just goes to confirm what we saw in US durable goods orders - there is simply no 'decoupling', it is a lead-lag inter-linked global economy.

 

The Hamptons Weekend Disconnect Today's binary message to vacuum tubes: "ignore the last available signal that has driven the market for months and make sure stocks close green" - simply just not to leave a bitter taste in the mouths of all those billionaire hedge-funders enjoying the launch of Hamptons season. The other best hope is that volume tapers (sorry Hilsenrath, we just said the word, oops) to zero, in which case the DJIA (now that nobody even pretends to care about the S&P) may just close limit up on a 1-lot trade.

 

The Latest "Inflation Evasion" Scam: Bars Serving Caramelized Rubbing Alcohol Instead Of Scotch In the past, food and alcoholic beverage makers got in trouble for attempting to cover the impact of inflation (such as the 12% Y/Y increase in Fed employee salaries) by diluting the content, or simply serving less, of their products while keeping the price constant: the same thing as rising prices, but optically more palatable to less than sophisticated consumers. That was the past. A new breed of industrious, high profit margin-seeking alcohol vendors have decided to skip this protocol entirely and instead of serving booze, have opted to replace the product outright. As AP reports, at numerous New Jersey bars, including 13 TGI Fridays restaurants, owners were accused of substituting cheap booze while charging premium prices. The profitability at all costs situation was so bad that at one bar, a mixture that included rubbing alcohol and caramel coloring was sold as scotch. In another, premium liquor bottles were refilled with water and apparently not even clean water at that.

 

RANsquawk Weekly Wrap - 24th May 2013

 

What If Stocks, Bonds and Housing All Go Down Together? The problem with trying to solve all our structural problems by injecting "free money" liquidity into financial Elites is that all the money sloshing around seeks a high-yield home, and in doing so it inflates bubbles that inevitably pop with devastating consequences. As noted yesterday, the Grand Narrative of the U.S. economy is a global empire that has substituted financialization for sustainable economic expansion. In shorthand, those people with access to near-zero-cost central bank-issued credit can take advantage of the many asset bubbles financialization inflates. Those people who do not have capital or access to credit become poorer. That is the harsh reality of neofeudal, neocolonial financialization. It is widely accepted as self-evident that all these bubbles will not pop because the central banks won't let them pop. That's nice, but if this were the case, then why did stocks crater in 2000-2001 and 2008-2009, and why did the housing bubble implode in 2008-2011? Did they change their minds for some reason? No; they assured us right up to the moment of implosion that everything was fine, there was no bubble, etc. The only logical conclusion is that bubbles pop even though central banks resist the popping with all their might.

 

Explaining This Weeks Market Jitters In One Chart Presented with no comment...

 

"Get To Work, Mr. Portfolio Manager" - Federal Reserve Profits Plunge Even As Salaries SurgeThere was something odd in today's quarterly financial report (as of March 31) by the world's largest and most profitable hedge fund: the US Federal Reserve. Despite that its Assets Under Management have grown to a mindblowing $3.4 trillion, or about $700 billion more than this time last year, there was something oddly missing in the reported data: a surge in remittances to the US Treasury, or profits. Well, the Fed did remit some $15.3 billion to the Treasury, so not too shabby, but this was well below the $23.8 billion in Q1 2012 and under half of the remitted profit of $30.7 billion in the previous quarter. Has the world's most profitable portfolio manager, a Princetonian economist who has otherwise never traded one security in his entire life, gone cold? Please Ben, proves us wrong. And while you are at it, get to work, Mr. Portfolio Manager.

 

BNP Warns On Japanese Repression: Echoes Of The 1940s Fed In the 1940s, the Fed adopted pegging operations to protect the financial system against rising interest rates and to ensure the smooth financing of the war effort. In effect, the Fed became part of the Treasurys debt management team; as the budget deficit hit 25% of GDP in WW2, it capped 1Y notes at 87.5bps and 30Y bonds at 2.5%. From the massive bond holdings of its domestic banks to its exploding public debt, Japan today faces a situation very similar to the US in the 1940s. When the long-term rate climbs above 2%, the BoJ will probably adopt outright measures to underpin JGB prices to prevent turmoil in the financial system and a fiscal crisis - and just as Kyle Bass noted yesterday, they are going to need a bigger boat as direct financial repression in Japan is unavoidable.

 

European Bonds Plunge Most In 8 Months, Stocks Worst Week In 2 MonthsEuropean stocks fell for a second day-in-a-row (notable in its own right as not having happened for 5 weeks) for the biggest drop in 6 weeks capping the worst week in 2 months. Spain and Italy saw their stock indices drop 3.6% on the week. But it was European banks and peripheral sovereign bonds that saw the most damage. As JPY-funded leveraged momo come rapidly undone, Italian and Spanish bond spreads saw their biggest 2-day drop in 8 months to end back at 5-week highs. EURUSD ends the week up 0.6% (and the JPY +2.2%) as repatriation escalates. Europe's VIX is holding around 18.% (up 2.5 vols on the week).

 

The Two Charts That Keep Draghi Up At Night While many would argue that youth unemployment (the real scariest chart here), in fact we suspect it is the following two charts that are really keeping Mario Draghi up at night. The lip service paid by the French and the Germans to growth strategies and youth unemployment pale in relation to the desperation of the European collateralizer-of-last-resort to de-fragment his transmission channels and unleash his own QE to the starving banking systems of Spain and Italy. As BNP notes, recent data on Italian and Spanish banks bad and non-performing loans (NPLs) have reignited the debate on the health of the banking sector in the eurozones peripheral economies and its implications for the blocs credit supply and, ultimately, economic growth. But what is worse is that interest rates on new loans for a company in Italy or Spain are almost double those in Germany and France. It is against this backdrop that Draghi expressed plans to revive the ABS market - but implementation will prove significantly more challenging than market hopers believe (as is clear in credit markets) and direct purchases will probably face vetoes by a number of influential members of the board. To add further salt to these fresh wounds, the FT reports that Spanish banks will need to set aside more than EUR10 billion more reserves to cover the rolling over of EUR 200 billion of 'extend-and-pretend' loans.

 

Europe Opens $80 Trillion Shadow Banking Pandora's Box: Will Seek To Collapse Repo "Collateral Chains" In what may be the most important story of the day, or maybe year, for a world in which there already is an $11 trillion shortfall in high-quality collateral (and declining every day courtesy of Ben's monetization of Treasury paper) so needed to support the deposit-free liability structures of the shadow banking system (as most recently explained here), Bloomberg has just reported that Europe may begin a crackdown on that most important credit money conduit: the $80 trillion+ global shadow banking system, by effectively collapsing collateral chains, and by making wanton asset rehypothecation a thing of the past, permitted only with express prior permission, which obviously will never come: who in their right mind would allow a bank to repledge an asset which may be lost as part of the counterparty carnage should said bank pull a Lehman. The result of this, should it be taken to completion, would be pervasive liquidations as countless collateral chain margin calls spread, counterparty risk soars all over again, and as the scramble to obtain the true underlying assets finally begins.

 

Where's The "Buy The Dip Mentality" Today?While yesterday saw the mainstream media cock-a-hoop at the fact that we pulled 'off-the-lows' with the phrase "buy the dip mentality" parrotted prayer-like every minute of the afternoon. Overnight shenanigans saw that BTFD mentality come and then quickly go and now the US market is fading fast. USDJPY has broken below 101 and US equity markets are testing below yesterday's lows... Treasury yields are now low on the week for the long-bond; gold and silver are holding up as JPY strength is weakening the USD broadly. Meanwhile, European peripheral debt is getting monkey-hammered (worst 2 days in 8 months)...

 

These Are The Stocks Most Hated By Hedge Funds: Let The Squeeze BeginIn a world in which the bipolar, schizophrenic markets are dominated by Mrs. Watanabe's daily gyrations of the USDJPY (in response to Kuroda's daily jawboning) which in turn has become the primary signal feeding ES algos now that fundamentals are no longer relevant and that the EURUSD-ES correlation is dead and burried, there continues to be one, almost assured way to generate alpha for those so inclined to gamble with the fastest of the vacuum tubes out there: going long the most shorted stocks, which have become the most convex way of betting that Ben Bernanke will continue to dominate the hedge fund league tables as the world's most accomplished portfolio and risk manager. Indeed, using our previous representations (Q3 2012, Q4 2012) of the most shorted stocks to generate a "long basket" and sitting it out, has generated some 40%+ annualized returns without fail. Which is why it is now time to look at the most recent roster of stocks most hated by the hedge fund community, which slowly but surely is converting into the much maligned "long onlies" as abandoning hedges is the only way to at least catch up with the market, if not overtake it.

 

Spot The Trend In US Durable Goods And CapEx Spending The trend is quite clear.

 

The Housing UnRecovery Is Here: Architectural Billings Plunge Most Since 2008 Not only is this 'housing recovery' being built without the use of Lumber (as we explained here), but Architects are no longer useful either. The last two months - as homebuilder stocks surge and house prices spike - has seen Architectural billings plunge by the most since November 2008. The current level of activity is at its lowest since June 2012 - hardly indicative of the rampaging rapacious demand for homes that we are spoon-fed day after day...

 

Nikkei Futures Resume Plunge   Japanese stocks had another violent night with record trading volumes on the TOPIX. The early 'buy the dip mentality' rapidly escalated into sell-Mortimer-sell as the Nikkei 225 dropped another 1000 points after the lunch break. A late day recovery managed to close the index just in the green and all could relax that the world was once again a better place thanks to Abenomics. However, since Japan closed, Nikkei futures have been sold aggressively now testing back down towards overnight lows.

 

The Rout In Spain Spain has already gone bankrupt. It is not spoken of in this fashion, no one mentions it in public but that is the truth of it. The money, some $172 billion, was funneled to the banks and not to the sovereign in one more European ruse to distract everyone but the results are the same. Now it is becoming apparent that even this amount of money was not enough so more will have to be given. The money will go to the Spanish banks, the debt will be guaranteed by Spain, the contingent liability will not be counted as part of Spain's debt to GDP ratio but we will know the truth of it. Whatever direct money from Spain that goes into their banks will be called an "investment" and put on the left side of their balance sheet as an asset and the mockery will continue but I can still read a ledger; thank you very much.

 

Why Italian Bonds Have A Long Way Down To GoAs we hinted last night, and as the market is starting to realize, one of the bigger downstream casualties of the first rumblings that Abenomics is starting to crack, have been peripheral bond yields, with Spanish, Italian and Portuguese yields all wider by 10 bps and rising. However, that is only half the story. The other half is that, with its usual 6-8 week delay, the market is finally grasping the biggest danger in Europe - one which we have been pounding the table on week after week after week (most recently here): the soaring non-performing loans held by European banks. In fact, it took the FT to confirm what we have been warning about all along. And just so the market has a sense of how much downside may be imminent if indeed reality reasserts itself and frontrunning the Japanese carry trade both occur at the same time, here is a rather unpleasant chart courtesy of Diapason, of what expects all those who bought up Italian bonds in the recent dash-for-trash, oblivious of the collapsing fundamentals, and driven purely by FOMO. The downside could be big to quite big.

The Bronze Swan Arrives: Is The End Of Copper Financing China's "Lehman Event"? In all the hoopla over Japan's stock market crash and China's PMI miss last night, the biggest news of the day was largely ignored: copper, and the fact that copper's ubiquitous arbitrage and rehypothecation role in China's economy through the use of Chinese Copper Financing Deals (CCFD) is coming to an end.

 

Chart Of The "Keynesian Normal": America's Tragic Divergence There is a saying that debt can't buy growth. When it comes to the US, that saying is absolutely correct: only lots and lots of debt can "buy growth."As the chart below shows, since officially leaving the gold standard in 1971, annual GDP growth has outpaced the growth of federal debt on just 11 occasions, and of these half were during the dot com boom of the late 1990s. Obviously this chart would look far worse if instead of just federal debt - which is merely a portion of total we used total credit market debt (which is some three time greater). But for illustrative purposes, merely Federal debt will suffice, because the parabolic "endphase" divergence between the two indexed lines - one showing GDP growth, the other debt growth - says more about the final outcome of this tragic Keynesian experiment than 1000 meandering, meaningless, trolling essays written by Nobel-prize winning economists ever could.

 

Bass On Japan's Turbo QE: "It Won't Be Enough"If JGB investors 'believe' as Richard Koo earlier noted, in the BoJ's new actions and Abenomics (to double the monetary base and generate inflation), then, Kyle Bass explains, a rational investor is likely to sell a portion if not all of them. The BoJ only has JPY10 trillion cushion (after the JPY60 trillion deficit) to soak up this 'rational investor paradox' selling and this is dwarfed by the holdings of JGBs in the largest Japanese banks (who are now starting to rotate away from JGBs into foreign bonds). Simply out, Bass exclaims, they are going to have make the plan even bigger... if they are to successfully contain rates. With a quadrillion JPY of JGBs out there, if a mere 5% is sold (from 'Abe'lievers) then Japan's Turbo QE is not big enough which leads to the paradoxical increase in the QQE, moar inflationary 'belief', and moar selling pressure... The BoJ has been in the market every day but 2 since April 4th trying to hold rates down (and is failing)...

 

CME Hikes Nikkei-Associated Margins By 33%Two years ago it was only gold and silver that saw the CME's wrath on a daily, and sometimes hourly basis. Back then, however, it was due to soaring prices. Today, it is due to the bone-crushing price collapse in the Nikkei which has just seen the CME hike most Nikkei-related outright futures margins by 33%. So not only will those who resume trading Nikkei-related products in the futures market see a big loss in their P&Ls, they will also have to post some 33% more margin. We can only hope they still have some collateral and aren't margined up 100%. That would not be good for the Japanese pennystockmarket and "experiment" no matter how much good luck Jens Weidmann wishes them.

 

"Dead Dog Bounce" Or "Pause That Refreshes"While the off-the-lows mentality of today's market performance was heralded by most as a signal that the BTFD'rs are back, we gently remind them that the Nikkei (futures) did not bounce at all... In fact S&P futures bounced to a rather eerily perfect 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the overnight plunge and then faded into the close. All the major indices managed to get back to unchanged on the day (but the S&P 500 was the last to make it and instantly turned around once it did). Credit markets opened gap wider and did not bounce back anything like stocks. Treasuries sold off modestly from their pre-opening levels then drifted lower in yield into the close (ending down 2-3bps on the day but up 6-7bps on the week). The USD weakened most of the day and commodities gained on the day with gold and silver now up over 2% on the week. VIX fell from the open to the close but ended the day higher as we suspect hedges were lifted and exposure reduced into the bounce.

 

A Culture Of Fear And Intimidation... Last week when Simon Black arrived in Bangladesh, the immigration officials there were positively ecstatic to see a foreign tourist entering the country. Its not quite the same in the Land of the Free. In fact, before they even let people in the country, they program us to be afraid and intimidated. For one thing, all the immigration officers are armed. Theres absolutely no reason for a government agent to carry a loaded pistol when all he does is stamp a passport. This is extremely uncommon in the rest of the world. Only in the Land of the Free. When you step back and look at the whole government apparatus, its apparent that this culture of fear and intimidation applies across the entire spectrum. A particularly fitting quote, most frequently credited to Thomas Jefferson Where the people fear the government, you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty. Its absolutely true.

Or one can stare at rising stawks and enjoy their Obamaphones. Obe can't have both.

 

Richard Koo Warns Of "Beginning Of The End" For Japanese Economy The surge in Japanese long-term interest rates is likely causing some lost sleep among bond market participants and policymakers (despite their ignorance of the moves in the BoJ minutes) as Nomura's Richard Koo notes, if this trend continues (now added to by the collapse in stock prices) it could well mark the beginning of the end for the Japanese economy. Although the stock market has (until now) welcomed the yens continued slide against the dollar, Koo warns that this trend needs to be carefully monitored, as simultaneous declines in JGBs and the yen can be interpreted as a loss of faith in the Japanese government and the Bank of Japan. The biggest concerns are that the extreme volatility in Japanese stocks and bonds is occurring at a time when the BOJ was buying large quantities of government bonds. It is now clear that even large-scale BOJ purchases of JGBs cannot stop yields from rising. Simply put, Koo notes, the BoJ needs to rein itself in and state it will not stand for overshooting inflation expectations or the 'bad' rise in rates could crush both the nascent recovery and the nation's banking system.

 

The Winners And Losers In Today's NEE And AEP Flash Crashes (Milli)seconds after today's market open, utilities NextEra Energy (NEE) and American Electric Power (AEP) did what most stocks in the New Normal do when there is an unexpected event (like a 4 sigma plunge in the Nikkei): they flash crashed. What is different about AEP and NEE is that unlike most other daily stocks that implode in a matter of milliseconds, the collective market cap of the two companies was nearly $60 billion, which in turn sent the broader utilities index down over 10%. Of course, for a few milliseconds it was more like $30 billion: because that is how much in capitalization was lost in under one second, when today's flash crash du jour struck. But fear not: anyone who got stopped out under $76.19 in NEE and under $46.03 in AEP are the "lucky" ones, and the trades were marked as "Aberrant." Alas since that simply means the trades are excluded from daily high and low charts, that is hardly comforting for anyone. 

 

UBS On Japan - Are You 'Abe'liever? We totally get why many are excited by the recent cyclical improvement in the Japanese economy. However, just because industrial production is turning up on the back of exports and 1Q GDP grew more than expected doesnt mean Abeconomics is working. Most of the improvement in Japan is probably best described as a standard cyclical improvement in the aftermath of very depressed growth that was also heavily influenced by last years downturn in global trade. There are definitely signs that Japans economy are improving cyclically. However, as UBS notes, structurally, demographics remain a major headwind to raising aggregate demand. We feel many investors have not yet considered what slower growth for Asia will mean for Japan in the medium term. This will make it more difficult to raise aggregate demand above supply since capacity is sticky and Japan already has excess capacity. So for Abe-believers there will be fuel to support their optimism. However, once you move beyond that and think about what comes afterwards things look more challenging.

"Terminal State Of Broken""The world has taken on a virtual reality with no reference to what really is. This is the biggest market power play of smoke and mirrors in history. It is happening because the financial system is in a terminal state of broken."

 

The Nikkei's Collapse: A 1987 RefresherLast night's awe-full plunge in the Nikkei 225 may have come as a shock to many but it was right on cue if one believes in the past as a guide to the future. As ForexLive notes, the striking correlation between the current rampage in the Japanese stock market and that of 1987 is stunning. In 1987, the index had a remarkably smooth 89% rally that began in early November, lasted 186 days, and was followed by a 9.1% correction. Currently, the Nikkei 225 has had a remarkably smooth 85% rally that began in late October and has lasted 191 days culminating with last night's 9% correction. If past continues to be prologue, last night's wipe out should be entirely forgiven within three days and promptly forgotten (as a transitory blip). If, however, this time really is different, well...

 

European Stocks Dive Most In 10 MonthsThere was quite a bit of dispersion among European equity indices today (with Italy worst and Spain actually holding up - albeit down 1.4%) but the European equivalent of the S&P 500 (the BE500) dropped 2% - its biggest single-day plunge in 10 months. Credit markets - just as in the US - have been warning of a disconnect for two weeks and today's equity dive has more than halved that divergence. European sovereigns are wider by 10-15bps. Europe's VIX is over 2 vols higher at 18.4% (its highest in a month). European financial stocks dropped by their most in 3 months and European high-yield credit worsened by its most in 3 months. A late-day ramp made things alook a little better than they had earlier with a 100 pip rally in EURUSD off earlier lows seemingly providing some help.

 

Delinquent Student Loans Hit Record, 30% Of 20-24 Year Olds Are Unemployed And Not In SchoolAlmost a year ago we shared a calculation according to which "Over $120 Billion In Federal Student Loans In Default", suggesting that the next credit crisis has already arrived. Since then the topic of the student loan bubble has become a household topic. Sadly, that does not mean it has gotten any better. In fact, according to the latest Education Department data it has gotten as bad as it has ever been. As Bloomberg reports, not only have overdue student loans reached an all-time high but the number of young people aged 20-24 out of school and unemployed is at a record high: not quite astronomic by European standards, but hardly a ringing endorsement of an economy set to transition labor tasks to the next generation, especially with the employment of those 55 and older at all time highs.

 

Guest Post: Generation X: An Inconvenient Era A data-based look at the financial context of the past 30 years from the perspective of Gen X.

 

Spot The Bubble: Average New Home Price Soars By Most Ever In One Month To All Time High Curious why in yesterday's FOMC minutes the following line "a few participants expressed concern that conditions in certain U.S. financial markets were becoming too buoyant" received special attention? Here is the reason: as the chart below shows, according to the census bureau, the average new home sale price just hit a new all time high, rising by a record 15.4% to a record $330,800. In a country in which real disposable consumer income is flat at best and in reality declining, it only makes sense that the average new home price just hit a level not seen since the prior credit-bubble fueled housing peak.

Japanese Bond Market Halted At Open As Selling Purge Goes AirborneJapanese government bonds (JGB) futures have been halted once again this evening as the market opens down over 1 point. 10Y yields smash 11.5bps higher to 1.00% and 5Y yields add 6bps to 47bps. These are quite simply unprecedented moves in what 'was' a safe asset class and impresses yet another VaR shock on the market (as we detailed here). What this really means is that Japanese banks push further into insolvency land (as we explained here) today's move wipes another 1.5% of blended Tier 1 capital off the Japanese banking industry. Today's jump in 10Y yields continues the post-BoJ regime of greater-than-six-sigma moves... something no risk model can withstand for three weeks... Just a good job the BoJ didn't have anything at all to say about this totally disorderly fiasco yesterday.

Deleveraging, Releveraging And Finding The New Saturation PointDo you need a break from public policy buzzwords? Are you happy to go back to the days when cliffs were discussed occasionally on the National Geographic channel but not analyzed ad nauseum on CNBC? Are you tired of reading about austerity, austerians, anti-austerians and austeresis? Youve come to the right place. How long have we been deleveraging? Ill answer zero years. As in, what deleveraging? We havent even gotten started yet.

 

Try This Experiment Yourself...Anchoring is "our tendency to grab hold of irrelevant and often subliminal inputs in the face of uncertainty." In the absence of reliable knowledge about the future, investors have a tendency to anchor onto something anything to help them predict future market returns. And what better anchor to use for future market returns than prior ones? This is where the story gets more intriguing. When looking at the UK stock market in discrete 20-year blocks, the period from 1980-1999 is the only one in the last 300-years in which inflation-adjusted returns averaged between 8% and 10% per year. Investors seem to be anchoring their market predictions to recent returns of the past, therefore buying the index expensively, inclusive of a grotesque bubble of credit. One can expect this to end in a train wreck.

 

Eric Holder Admits To First Americans Killed By Drone StrikesIn a letter to Congress (below), AG Eric Holder admitted that the administration deliberately killed American Anwar al-Awlaki (the radical Muslim cleric) in a drone strike in September 2011 adding, as the NY Times reports, "the decision to target Anwar al-Awlaki was lawful, it was considered, and it was just." As RT notes, there was collateral damage, as it has been widely reported but rarely acknowledged in Washington that two other US citizens - Samir Khan, and al-Awlaki's teenage son, Abdulrahman al-Awlaki - were executed in that same Yemen strike. With Holders latest admission, however, a fourth American - Jude Mohammed - has also been officially named a casualty of Americas continuing drone war; bringing the total 'known' Americans killed under the US Drone War to 4 since 2009.

 

Greek Prostitution Soars By 150% As Youth Unempoyment Hits 75% In Some AreasWith Greece suffering the biggest economic depression in decades, all so a few rich men can preserve their wealth and not have their EUR-denominated savings wiped out (even if the alternative means finally being able to rebalance externally using the Drachma instead of forcing internal rebalancing via unemployment and plunging wages), it was only a matter of time before we found out just how humiliating the conversion of the entire economy to a "gray", non-tax paying one would be for the citizens of Greece.  As the NYT reports, in just the past two years, the numbers of Greeks engaging in prostitution as a last course source of income has more than doubled: according to the National Center for Social Research, the number of people selling sex has surged 150 percent in the last two years.

 

"We Are Experiencing More Than Just A 'Soft Patch'""The economy is amazing right now - employment is recovering, innovation is going and housing is reviving.  What's not to love?"  This was a statement we heard in the media to justify the recent rise in the stock market. However, back in the real world, what is clear from the two composite indexes is that the broad economy, and by extension underlying employment, has clearly peaked and has began to weaken.  This is well within the context of historical trends and time frames.  While the mainstream analysts and economists continue to have optimistic views for a resurgence in economic activity by years end the current data trends, both globally and domestically, suggest otherwise.

 

Stunned Stocks Slide On Soaring Volume; Worst Swing Day In 5 WeeksToday saw the largest high to low drop intraday (down over 2.3%) in the S&P 500 for five weeks as it fell back to the 'Tepper Top'. Volume was the 3rd highest of the year. As expected, high-beta muppets were hurt most; Trannies were the worst performer in the major equity indices (down 1.6% on the day and 2.5% from the Bernanke highs early on); homebuilders dropped 3.7% from their earlier highs, and Morgan Stanley slumped 4% from its earlier highs. VIX (up most in 5 weeks at 14.0%) and credit markets (biggest widening in 4 weeks and HYG dropped by its most in 6 months from its intraday highs) saw major weakness (extending the bearish divergence with stocks). The USD rallied back to unchanged on the week and commodities slipped lower (gold and silver end the day slightly higher on the week). What's so special about today? The S&P 500 dividend yield just equilibrated with the 10Y yield for the first time since April 2012... where would you rather 'reach for yield'...

 

Four Signs That We're Back In Dangerous Bubble TerritoryAs the global equity and bond markets grind ever higher, abundant signs exist that we are once again living through an asset bubble or rather a whole series of bubbles in a variety of markets. This makes this period quite interesting, but also quite dangerous. This can be summarized in one sentence:  How could this be happening again so soon?

This Crisis Will Be Over 30 Times Bigger Than Greece Posted by: Phoenix Capital... Post date: 05/20/2013 -  If Japan’s bond market implodes, then global Central Bank efforts to hold the system together will have proven a failure.  

 

 

White House Explains: Obama Didn't Know What He Knew When Everyone Else Knew What He Should Have Known Here is The Hill with the White House's official explanation for what happened: "White House officials were notified of a Treasury Department inspector general report on the IRS but elected not to tell President Obama about it." In other words, neither the IRS was not aware of what is going on (recall the countless "I don't knows" and "I don't recalls") and apparently, neither was the president. And in fact, it was someone else's executive duty to make the decision what the chief executive of the nation is and isn't allowed to know.

 

Stunning Time-Lapse Video Of 2-Mile Wide Oklahoma Tornado Courtesy of NBC, here is 10-x sped up footage of the massive 2-mile wide tornado ripping through Oklahoma one short hour ago.

 

Guess Who The Dirtiest Dirty Shirt Is We continue to hear that the US is the cleanest dirty shirt or that the US economy is doing 'relatively' well as a reason for buying stocks now. Not only is this plainly incorrect (as we have pointed out rather vociferously in the recent past) it flies the face of the disconnect between macro and markets. The fact of the matter is that year-to-date, the US economic data performance is the equal worst (with Japan) of all major economic nations and regions. That is a bucket-load of hope for the second-half of the year - or, as we noted recently, is it just plain silly.

 

Oklahoma Tornado Live Feed - "This Is About The Worst Damage I Have Ever Seen" The devastation from what is being described as a mile-wide tornado is horrifying according to local news. The live feed and raw footage of the aftermath suggests casualty rates will be significantly higher as the evening progresses... "The tornado on the ground right now is huge and has hit through populated areas,"

 

What Could Possibly Go Wrong Here? You know it's getting frothy when... "We're seeing many people cash out 401(k)s or IRAs because they want to take advantage of the [real estate] market." As CNNMoney reports, in order to get in on hot housing markets, amateur investors are buying up homes and taking risky measures - like tapping their retirement accounts - to fund the deals. As one adviser noted, "our average client has retirement accounts of about $150,000 and is looking to buy one or two properties," he said. "After 2008, they didn't trust Wall Street. They wanted hard assets." but as with every bubble there is always the greater fool to rely on - "They bought a lot of stuff cheap last year, but now they're paying market value," said Jack McCabe, a Florida-based real estate consultant. "Sometimes they're overpaying... There's no way they can get an 8% return buying at today's market prices." The problem, of course, is amateur investors sometimes spend all their free cash on their purchases, as "a whole lot of the people in the markets are not experts."  If the real estate market turns south again, that could leave a lot of investors in dire financial condition for their golden years.

 

SACked: Cohen Considers Closing It appears that the noose is tightening and the wobbly-chair that Steve Cohen is standing on is getting wobblier... As Bloomberg reports, after five years under investigation for insider trading Steve Cohen is considering a 'deal' with prosecutors that would shut his $15 billion fund to outside investors and (as we noted this morning) shift a family (friends and employees) office. *COHEN SAID TO HAVE DISCUSSED DEFERRED PROSECUTION AGREEMENT *COHEN SAID TO CONSIDER RETURNING OUTSIDE INVESTORS' MONEY *COHEN SAID TO CONSIDER CONTINUING AS A FAMILY OFFICE  The deferred prosecution is intriguing as "when a company enters into a DPA with the government, or an NPA for that matter, it almost always must acknowledge wrongdoing..." and the clock is ticking with the statute of limitations up at the end of July.

 

Gold's Best Day In 11 Months As Stocks Close Red - Only 8 Hours To Wait 'Til Tuesday Though All major US cash equity indices closed an odd shade of 'green' today which some have called 'red' - though only marginally and Treasuries ended the day practically unchanged (with 10Y +1bps). But the real action took place away from these two asset-classes. Precious metals were monkey-hammered at their open overnight but staged a miraculous recovery leaving gold with its best gain since June 2012 (didn't hear too much about that on TV?). Credit markets notably under-performed - never managing to get into the green on the day. VIX rose over 0.5 vols to close back above 13%. On the bright side, only a few more hours until Tuesday...

 

Artificial Growth Exhibit A: China's Inventory Stockpiling Hits All Time High Need a quick GDP boost in a world in which the uber levered consumer is tapped out and has no more savings or purchasing power, in which the government is facing an existential socialism or bust crisis even as global sovereign debt levels are at unseens before levels, and in which global trade has collapsed (so there go the C, G and (X-M) components of GDP)? No problem, just add some I for Inventory. Better yet, add a whole lot of I, especially if you are that global growth dynamo, China, which over the years many have accused of having taken the term "overcapacity" and put it through the Barry Bonds juicer yet where courtesy of a central-planning regime that has made sure nothing appears to be unused, except for the occasional ghost city or empty mall, proof of such overcapacity has been scarce in official, government data.

 

Bernanke "Wealth Effect" Completely Wasted On Trillions In Pension Funds The last few years have been dominated by one theme and every trade has been a derivative bet on that theme. The idea that by inflating another asset bubble, a wealth effect will ripple through the market to the real economy, encourage animal spirits and spark a renaissance (in something, we are not sure what). Well, so far no good. The real economy, as discussed at length, is not recovering; but the question of just who is benefiting from the wealth effect is unclear. As the following charts across the 100 largest G4 pension plans show, the asset managers have missed the trickle-down. Despite bad (and worsening) under-funding and a Fed repressing 'safe' assets to the point of ultimate risk, G4 pension funds have refused to partake of any mythical 'great rotation', remain avid bond buyers, are as drastically under-funded as ever, and finally, have maintained the same 'cash on the sidelines' for 14 years now...

 

Guest Post: The New Abnormal The collective state of mind in the USA these days may be even more peculiar than what went on in Germany in the early 1930s, when the Nazis were freely elected to lead the country and reconstructed the battered national psyche into a superman cult that soon beat a path to mass death and ruin. America has its own way of going crazy. We don't goose-step to tragedy; we coalesce into an insane clown posse and stumble into it by pratfall -- juggaloes dancing backwards off the cliff edge. A subset of our master wish has been on vivid display in recent months, namely the idea that God has blessed the USA with a limitless supply of new oil that will allow us to keep driving to WalMart forever. Most of the current "endless oil" fantasy revolves around shale oil. Apart from the issue of sheer economic suffering and all the damage that will ensue from the realization of the falsehoods and propaganda, consider that it will be generations before anyone believes the "authorities" again.

 

 

Goldman "Proves" That "Good News Is Good For Equities, And Bad News Is Good For Equities" While anecdotally we see again and again that equities rally on bad news (The Fed will save us) and good news (see The Fed saved us), none of that matters until it gets the Goldman Sachs stamp of approval. Sure enough, in a detailed study over the weekend, designed to defend their bullish equity view (specifically financials) and expectations for QE3 to continue to Q3 2014, the bank that does God's work offered up these pearls of statistically sound wisdom: "while equity prices respond more to dovish surprises than hawkish surprises, the results suggest that equity prices typically go up regardless of whether the Fed policy surprise is positive or negative (“good news is good for equities, and bad news is good for equities”). But it is not at all clear why the equity market should systematically buy into this pattern." So rest assured, buying wins; of course, that is, until it doesn't.

IRS Official In Charge During Tea Party Targeting Now Runs Health Care Office Wed like to say that the following is unbelievable, but its not.  Unfortunately, it is all too believable.

 

The 2013 Terrorism & Political Violence Map The following map (via AON) measures the risk of political violence to international business in 200 countries and territories, based on three icons indicating the forms of political violence which are likely to be encountered: Terrorism and sabotage; Strikes, riots, civil commotion and malicious damage; and Political insurrection, revolution, rebellion, mutiny, coup d'etat, war and civil war.

 

The S&P 500 Is Now A Gambler's Paradise With 76.9% Up Days In May So Far Everyone knows the odds of winning in a casino are worse than 50% (often much worse depending on the game played). So who wouldn't rush to a casino where, instead, the odds were overwhelmingly in the gambler's favor? That's the promise of today's stock market, which has been experiencing an aberrantly high percentage of up days all year. Like all good benders though, this is going to end with one heck of a hangover...

 

Europe's EUR 500 Billion Ticking NPLTime Bomb Europe's non-performing loan problem is such an issue that there is increasing bluster that the ECB may take this garbage on to its balance sheet since policymakers realize that bad debts and non-performing loans (NPLs) reduce the capacity of banks to lend, hindering the monetary policy transmission mechanism. Bad debts consume capital and make banks more risk averse, especially with respect to lending to higher risk borrowers such as SMEs. With Italy (NPLs 13.4%) now following the same dismal trajectory of Spain's bad debts, the situation is rapidly escalating (at an average of around 2.5% increase per year). With Periphery non-performing loans totaling EUR 720bn across the whole of the Euro area in 2012 and EUR 500bn of which were with Peripheral banks, it seems the Cyprus deposit haircut 'non-template' may indeed become the key template.

 

Guest Post: The Great "American" Divide We have often spoken of the disconnect between Wall Street and Main Street.   While asset prices are inflated by continued interventions of monetary policy from the Federal Reserve, boosting Wall Street profits and widening the wealth gap between the top 20% of Americans and the rest, "Main Street" continues to suffer a from a rising cost of living and falling wage growth. "How long can the disconnect last between Wall Street and Main Street?" There is no clear answer for that as consumers have shown a willingness to draw down savings rates to historically low levels while quickly returning to cheap credit forgetting the disaster that it caused them not so long ago.  However, in reality, when you have a family to feed, clothe and house - it really doesn't matter what is logical, but what is necessary, regardless of the consequences down the road.  Of course, for many American's today, the only real difference between now and the "bread lines" of the 30's is that the "bread" is delivered in the mail rather than at the "soup kitchen" on the corner.

 

How A Last Second Flash Crash Pushed The S&P 500 From 1,667 To 1,666 Those who were closely following the S&P cash in the last seconds before the close, and who were eagerly looking forward to a satanic close of 1,666, were likely disappointed when in the last 5 minutes of trading the cash index ramped from 1,665 and easily crossed in and out of 1,666, with the final print pointing to a mid-1,667 close. And then something happened: instead of a closing print of 1,667.50, over one point of the cash S&P suddenly was wiped out for no reason, in turn leading to the satisfactory 1,666 closing print or exactly 1,000 points higher than the "generational" lows of 2009. Yet, refreshing the settlement of the S&P500 an hour later, showed that the final closing price was, indeed, 1667.47. So what happened?

 

US Senate Shows It Has Its Priorities Straight... Well, you have to admit one thing - the United States Senate certainly has its priorities straight. Summing it up - what governments in Europe and the Land of the Free are telling us this week is:- Beer and Populism: good.  Private property rights, freedom, privacy, business, price stability: bad.

 

Why Bulls Should Fear The "Money On The Sidelines" Much has been made of equity inflows this week (though we note a significant outflow from high-yield bond funds - just as risk-on in its nature) and once again the money-on-the-sidelines fallacy is hawked at every opportunity. Two critical aspects are important to get past this 'fact' as some positive driver. First, money does not 'enter' the market, it is swapped (e.g. Person A's cash is used to buy shares from Person B; after the transaction the roles are swapped with Person B holding cash on the sidelines and Person A holding shares); and secondly, as Morgan Stanley's Gerard Minack notes, despite all the disclaimers retail flows assume that past performance is a good guide to future outcomes. Consequently money tends to flow to investments that have done well, rather than investments that will do well.

 

The Debt Ceiling Is Back While many may not recall that the US has been without an official debt ceiling for the past three months, or even that it has a debt target ceiling, the bonus period agreed upon in January to let the nation rake up some $400 billion in addition debt in the past few months, officially runs out tomorrow, May 19, when the debt limit will be restored to its previous level plus the debt that was incurred in the interim, which means around $16.735 trillion in total debt as of yesterday, plus the amount incurred today, excluding the debt not subject to the cap which is about $30 billion. And since no grand bargain is forthcoming in a world in which official governance is now almost universally in the hands of the world's central bankers and out of the hands of the theatrical career politicians, it means that the next deadline in the endless US debt ceiling saga will be the day when the extraordinary measures to extend the debt ceiling run out. Such a deadline will likely be hit in just over three months.

 

The Week That Was: May 13th- May 17th 2013 Succinctly summarizing the positive and negative news, data, and market events of the week...

 

Michigan Confidence Soars To Highest Since 2007, Biggest Beat Of Expectations On Record In a day devoid of any A-grade economic data, the stop hunting GETCO USDJPY algos had no choice but to look forward to such reflexive C-grade indicators as the UMich Consumer Confidence index, where the polled "consumers" are confident if the market is up and the market is up if "consumers" are confident. Sure enough, the USDJPY literally exploded by over 50 pips and broke the 103 level (send the Yen derivative, the S&P500 spiking) when moments ago the UMich index posted a hilarious reading of 83.7, the highest since August 2007, up from 76.4, and smashing expectations of 77.9 by the most in... ever. Whether this was driven by a near record low in consumer savings, by the collapse in real wages, by the deteriorating Q1 retail results such as WalMart's showing consumers are out of cash, or if all this was irrelevant as everyone on the UMichigan rolodex was long Tesla is unknown. It just is what it is because in a world in which collapsing economic data leads to a record high "market", one buys first, buys second, then BTFD if there is D, and only then are questions asked.

 

RANsquawk Weekly Wrap - 17th May 2013

 

 

Chinese Profitability Squeezed Further By Third Year Of Double-Digit Wage Gains For the third year in a row (since the crisis) average pay at private companies in China surge by greater than double digits - far outstripping GDP growth. 2012 saw a 17.1% nominal rise in average wages for private companies to Yuan 28,752 per annum (still 9% after inflation) but dispersion remains high with "significant gap among regions, industries and specific jobs in some sectors." The continued rise in wages, as the Wall Street Journal notes, is likely to put further pressure on an already pinched manufacturing and construction sector (which accounts for over 41% of all Chinese employment) especially in low-end and labor-intensive positions. With slowing growth (demand) and rising costs (labor, energy), the profitability of Chinese companies is increasingly tenuous and only hindered by potential actions of the central bank.

What Happens When the Bond Bull Market Ends? Posted by: Phoenix Capital... Post date: 05/16/2013 -  Bill Gross, who manages the world’s largest bond fund, has indicated that the 30+ year old super cycle bull market in bonds has ended. This is very bad news for the markets.  

 

 

Elizabeth Warren Confronts Eric Holder, Ben Bernanke And Mary Jo White On Too-Big-To-Jail Elizabeth Warren is one of the few Senators out there pushing to understand why the federal government has created an untouchable class of criminals in America that can do whatever they want whenever they want and, not only get away with it, but also get bailed out when they make mistakes. Now she has written a letter to Ben Bernanke, Eric Holder and Mary Jo White.  My favorite line is: “If large financial institutions can break the law and accumulate millions in profits and, if they get caught, settle by paying out of those profits, they do not have much incentive to follow the law.” Indeed, which is why they don’t.  Full letter embedded below.

 

 

Just Plain Silly Presented with no comment... { The time has come to call a spade a spade because the reality is that they are spades! }  http://albertpeia.com/silly.htm

 

Morgan Stanley: "Most Of The Buying Has Come From Shorts Covered Rather Than Longs Bought" SConfirming what we explained recently, Morgan Stanley explains that among its equity long-short fund activity, the short activity (the net of shorts added and shorts covered) reached a minus-2 z-score indicating massive covering over the past 20 days. The last 3 times this occurred were April 2010 (S&P then fell 13% in 8 days), July 2011 (S&P then fell 19% in 23 days), and Oct 2011 (S&P then fell 10.5% in 20 days). Across sectors, Consumer Discretionary has been the most covered over the past week and month. Due to heavy covering, Discretionary short activity fell below a minus-3 z?score as of yesterday (now the highest long/short ratio of all sectors). It is worth keeping in mind, MS add, that historically speaking, the sector with the highest long/short ratio has often gone on to underperform over the following 6?12 months. This covering has driven median net leverage up to 64% (its 97th percentile of post crisis levels). Money-on-the-sidelines!! not so much... Massive short-covering rally - yes...

 

Philly Fed Misses, Key Indicators Negative Across The Board: Employment Index Lowest Since September 2009 It's just getting plain stupid out there. Just as stocks were exploding into the green (perhaps on expectations of an epic Philly Fed miss), the Philly Fed did not disappoint, printing at -5.2, down from 1.3, and crushing expectations of an increase to +2.0, the biggest miss since February and confirming that the Empire Fed index plunge was not a fluke. Virtually every components in the Philly Fed was red except for Inventories (up to 4.1 from -22.2 in March) and Prices Paid (up to 6.9 from 3.1 in March). Among the plungers, the key New Orders tumbled from -1.0 to -7.9, Shipments crashed from 9.1 to -8.5, Average Workweek slide from -2.1 to -12.4, and the Number of Employees imploded from -6.8 to -8.7, the lowest print since September 2009. And if all of this doesn't send the Stalingrad & Poor 500 to new historic highs, we don't know what will. All one can do now is just laugh at this "market."

 

Tragic Trifecta: Initial Claims Soar, Housing Starts Plunge, CPI Below Expectations We didn't really need a confirmation that the economy was deteriorating and completely disconnected from the "market", but we got it nonetheless. First, Initial Claims coming at 360K, on expectations of 330K, the worst print and worst miss in six weeks, confirming that weekly data is largely noise and that there is no sustainable downward trend. The May 11 weekly print adjusted and unadjusted were 360K and 318K respectively, virtually unchanged from a year ago at 373K and 325K, showing that in one year there has been essentially no progress, and that weekly initial claims of 350K is the new normal. Of course, the last week's print was also revised higher from 323K to 328K, while initial claims also missed expectations of a round 3MM print, instead printing at 3009K.

 

Multifamily Starts Suffer Biggest Monthly Plunge Since 2006: Is The REO-To-Rent "Recovery" Dead?It is no secret that in addition to the well-known phenomenon of "foreclosure stuffing", one of the primary drivers of the artificial housing "recovery" has been the surge of hedge funds and asset managers into purchases of rental units courtesy of near-zero cost REO-to-rent federal lending facilities, which have taken out distressed inventory from the market in hopes of converting it into rental. This has manifested in a surge in multi-family starts which have been the primary driver behind the rise of housing starts in the past several years, even with single-family units barely moving higher. All this despite Och Ziff making the case loud and clear late last year, that the days of profitability of this strategy have come and gone. Today we got the first confirmation that other asset managers may have finally given up on the rental conversion strategy, following the observed collapse in multi-family housing starts which crashed from 376K to 234K in April (the lowest since last summer), a drop of 142K and the worst monthly drop since 2006 when the housing market had once again peaked and was about to undergo a very serious correction.

 

S&P Downgrades Berkshire From AA+ To AA, Outlook Negative Obviously with Buffett a major shareholder of Moody's, the only place where a downgrade of Berkshire could come from was S&P. Moments ago, the rating agency that dared to downgrade the US for which it is being targeted by Eric Holder's Department of "Justice", did just that.

 

"America, The Dependent"Perhaps instead of "America, The Brave", a more appropriate description of what the USA has become would be (judging by the following chart) "America, The Dependent".

 

Fed Unleashes Another Taper Hint... Or Not Last week it was Fed's WSJ lapdog hinting at a tapering. Now it is up to the Fed's own John Williams to provide an even stronger hint at what may be coming as soon as this summer. From Bloomberg: *WILLIAMS SAYS FED MAY REDUCE QE IN SUMMER, HALT BY YEAR END However, promptly following this is the following headline which we can only hope has a typo in it: *WILLIAMS: UNEMPLOYMENT WON'T FALL BELOW 6.5% UNTIL MID-2105 (er, sic?) And just to confuse everyone, as the Fed enjoys doing, here is the conclusion: * WILLIAMS SAYS SLOWING QE WOULDN'T MEAN TIGHTENING IN POLICY  Bottom line: nothing will change.

 

 

Santelli On The Reality Of The Rotten Heart Of Europe This morning we were treated, once again, to confirmation that Europe is still in the middle of a deepening crisis. No, this was not a reflection of the terrible data, it was Mr. Hollande's insistence that "the crisis is behind us." Luckily we have a foil for this idiocy. Bernard Connolly, author of 'The Rotten Heart of Europe' explains to CNBC's Rick Santelli, "the point is that the union has produced this disaster; and the people who put the disaster in place hail it as a success. are they crazy? If they are, that's pretty disturbing! If they're not crazy, then the question of why they have done it is more disturbing." In a few brief minutes, uninterrupted by an anchor desperate for silver linings, Connolly explains to Santelli when asked of the future, that nothing will change in the short-term, "the potential ways of getting out of the mess are simply unthinkable," to both beggar and chooser, adding that "you have a cycle of deflation, depression, default, more banking crisis, more sovereign debt crisis, and social and political crisis." Simply put, Connolly concludes on social unrest, "I don't see any way of avoiding it."

 

 

Bill Gross: "We See Bubbles Everywhere"It is only logical that when one of the smarter people in finance warns that he "sees bubbles everywhere" that he should be roundly ignored by those who have no choice but to dance. Because Bernanke and company are still playing the music with the volume on Max, and if not for POMO there is always FOMO. However, if there is any doubt why this "rally is the most hated ever", here are some insights from the Bond King from an interview with Bloomberg TV earlier today: "We see bubbles everywhere, and that is not to be dramatic and not to suggest they will pop immediately. I just suggested in the bond market with a bubble in treasuries and bubble in narrow credit spreads and high-yield prices, that perhaps there is a significant distortion there. Having said that, it suggests that as long as the FED and Bank of Japan and other Central Banks keep writing checks and do not withdraw, then the bubble can be supported as in blowing bubbles. They are blowing bubbles. When that stops there will be repercussions. It doesn't mean something like 2008 but the potential end of the bull markets everywhere. Not just in the bond market but in the stock market as well and a developing one in the house market as well."

Wal-Mart Misses Revenue, Guides Below Expectations: Weather Among Factors Blamed Remember when several months ago Wal-Mart leaked just how weak the economy was and that sales had been a "total disaster" (a piece of truthiness that promptly led to the termination of the leak source)? Guess what: they were not lying. Moments ago WMT reported Q1 results, which at the easily fudged bottom line were just in line with expectations, ot $1.14 driven by $2.2 billion in stock repurchases (30 million shares). However, it was sales, as warned, that came in well weaker than expected, posting at $114.2 billion on expectations of $116.1 - just as the guy warned. It gets worse: *Q2 EPS expected in the range $1.22-$1.27, on expectations of $1.29 *Q1 comps ex-fuel -1.2% vs Exp. 0.4% *Sam's Club implements first fee increase since 2006: raises membership fee to $45 nationwide *During the 13-week period, the Walmart U.S. comp was negatively impacted by a delay in tax refund checks, challenging weather conditions, less grocery inflation than expected and the payroll tax increase. Comp traffic was down 1.8 percent, while average ticket increased 0.4 percent. From the CFO, Charles Holley: "Although we believe our company will leverage expenses for the year, the second quarter will be challenging, given expense pressures in International and our corporate area.

Uncharted Territory Cannot Go On Forever The greatest disconnect in the world today is the underlying economies of the world and the markets; all of the markets. This river is wide and getting wider given the money that the central banks are pushing downstream. The flood has reached all of the markets, Real Estate, the banks, many corporations, any and all borrowers with our incredibly low interest rates, but it has had little impact on the Main Streets of the planet. There is, in fact, a bubble of epic proportion.

 

Deja Deja Deja Vu - Final Hour Ramp Closes Stocks At All Time Highs Despite (or in fact 'due to' in this alice-through-the-looking-glass market) terrible data overnight in Europe and weak data this morning in the US, equities went from strength to strength thanks to a pre-European POMO vertical liftathon that pulled equities 1% higher on nothing (nothing at all). This faded but was helped into the close by a JPY-driven spurt to hold above 1650 in the S&P 500 at another all-time high (intraday) and close. Behind the scenes it was a mess though. Treasuries rallied (after recoupling with stocks) and did not play in the final hour frolicking. VIX ended the day higher (and notably divergent). High-yield credit closed weaker and credit markets are significantly divergent now as releveraging begins to bite. The USD pushed on to new highs intraday (highest since July 2010) which we are sure will help earnings. While the market has done its best to pressure the oil markets lower, today saw WTI gush higher back over $94 once again. The big story is in gold and silver which were jerked lower at around the US open (ending the day down 3.8% and 5.6% respectively on the week). As a reminder for those calling for the death of gold - AAPL is down over 8% in the last 3 days (the death of AAPL?).

 

Industrial Production, Capacity Utilization Both Miss: Good Weather BlamedAnd the hits just keep on coming.Following today's misses in PPI and Empire Fed, it was up to the Fed's April report of Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization to provide at least some validity to Tepper's latest CNBC preachings. Alas, that did not come and moments ago we got the latest disappointments as IP dropped -0.5% on expectations of a -0.2% drop, driven by a drop in Manufacturing Production which dropped 0.4%, despite expectations of a +0.1% increase. Utilities sliding -3.7% did not help the headline print but at least it allowed the Fed to, you got it, blame the weather, only this time there is a twist: the Fed actually blamed the weather for not being as bad as it was in March for the slack in Utility production. One really can't make this up. And confirming that the slack in the economy is structural and not cyclical as the Fed would wants us to believe was the Capacity Utilization print which tumbled from 78.3% to 77.8%, the lowest since January, and resulting from a decline in both Manufacturing and Utilities utilization.

 

Subprime 2.0 - Auto Loan Deliquency Balances Rise 24% YoY As we warned six weeks ago, the Fed's ZIRP side-effects have driven auto-lenders to scrape the bottom of the subprime-lending barrel once again (loans to subprime borrowers +18% YoY). It seems, based on the Fed's latest data, that this over-exuberant lending is coming back to bite once again as delinquent balances surge 23.9% year-over-year (though optimistically Experian reflects "obviously, we never want to see a rise in delinquencies or repossessions, but... they are still lower than the recession-level rates,"). As Experian also notes today, repossessions rose 16.9% year-over-year. All this as lending volumes overall rose 9.6% to $726 billion in Q1 2013 but average charge-off amounts rose by 9.8% to $7,401 on each defaulted loan - and the worse is yet to come, as "we continue to move forward, we should start to see more increases as some of the subprime loans coming onto the books begin to deteriorate." This will end well.

 

 

Five Charts To Start The Day It would appear that the credit markets both anticipated and began to price in what is now the worst recessionary period for the European Union on record a few days ago. However, their exuberant, ever-hungry colleagues over in equity land remain in the bad is good mode and can't get enough of these higher prices. Where ever we look around the developed world, equity prices are lifting as credit deteriorates. The masses ignored these lessons in 2007; are they ignoring it again? Or is this just another short-term divergence? If so, it is bond-buying time... if not, take your equity profits now because these divergences are unsustainable.

 

Producer Prices Plunge, Empire Fed Slides To First Negative Print Since JanuaryOne of these days we might just get a positive economic print, of the kind that the meandering Tepper was saying is visible everywhere now. Just not yet. Moments ago we got the releases of the May PPI and the Empire Fed, the first of which dropped -0.7%, on expectations of a -0.6% drop, the lowest MoM PPI since July 2009. Technically, this is bullish for the E-Trade baby as it gives the Fed carte blanche to continue QEternity as long as needed. But it was the Empire Fed index that was even more disappointing, as it crushed hopes for an increase from 3.05 to 4.00 in May, instead posting the first contractionary print since January, printing at -1.43. It gets worse when one digs through the data: New Orders dropped from 2.20 to -1.17, Shipments also slid into negative from 0.75 to -0.02, Unfilled Orders deteriorated even more from -3.41 to -6.82, Inventories contracted from -4.55 to -7.95, Prices Paid and Received both contracted, but worst of all, the Average Employee Workweek dropped from 5.68 to -1.14, meaning the collapse in the average workweek persists, and even if the BLS reports a positive print for May, the report will once again mask the declining aggregate end demand for labor.

 

Bank Of Japan Head:"No Bubble Here" As Nikkei Rises 45% In 2013 Take a good look at the chart of the Nikkei below. Supposedly this is the same chart that the new BOJ head, Haruhiko Kuroda, was looking at when he was responding to Japanese lawmakers during a session of the upper-house budget committee, where he flatly rejected an opposition-party member's argument that the recent rapid rise in the Tokyo stock market is out of line with Japan's real economy. "At this moment I do not think they are in a bubble," Kuroda said. And everyone believes him, just Because central bankers are so good at objectively observing how contained subrpime is big the asset bubbles their ruinous policies create.

 

France Double-Dips As European Recession Is Now Longest On Record Confirming that in a world in which either commercial or central banks have to be constantly be churning out debt, and in a world in which Europe is doing neither (with European commercial loan growth posting sequential declines across the board, and the ECB's balance sheet still declining although likely not for long), "growth" as defined by conventional standards, is impossible, we got today's European Q1 GDP data. Not only was it bad, but it was even worse than most had expected.

Futures Rise As European GDP Declines At Worst Annual Pace Since 2009

So much for Europe's "recovery." In a quarter when the whisper was that some upside surprise would come out of Europe, the biggest overnight data releases, European standalone and consolidated GDPs were yet another flop, missing across the board from Germany (+0.1%, Exp. 0.3%), to France (-0.2%, Exp. 0.1%), to Italy (-0.5%, Exp. -0.4%), and to the entire Eurozone (-0.2%, Exp. 0.1%), As SocGen recapped, the first estimate of eurozone Q1 GDP comes in at -0.2% qoq, below consensus of a 0.1% drop. The economy shrank by 1.0% yoy, the worst rate since Dec-09. The decline of 0.5% qoq in Italy means that the economy has been in recession continuously since Q4-11. A 0.2% qoq drop in France means the economy has ‘double-dipped’, posting a second back-to-back drop in GDP since Q4-08. The increase of 0.1% qoq in Germany was disappointing and shows the economy is not in a position to support demand in the weaker member states (table below shows %q/q changes).

The US Student Loan Bubble Broken Down By State, And Why Washington D.C. Sticks Out Like A Sore Thumb Curious how the student loan bubble, just shy of $1 trillion, and now the largest debt portion of the US household non-mortgage wallet,  bigger than credit card and auto loan debt - affects your state? Then the following three charts just out from the NY Fed are for you. What the data shows is that less than 12% of the population in Hawaii has student loans, while the record is in D.C. at over 25%. All those "students" in the nation's capital. Really? But that's not all. While the average loan balance is under $21,000 in Wyoming, it is once again highest in D.C., with the average loan balance over $40,000. It is almost as if D.C. "students" have learned how to game the system.  http://albertpeia.com/studentloanbubblebreakdown.htm

IRS To Conservatives: "Provide Details Regarding All Of Your Facebook Or Twitter Activity" It has become difficult to keep track of all the different "-gates" the Obama administration has suddenly found itself embroiled in: perhaps an appropriate name would be Gate-r-gate? And with the just concluded farce in which Jay Carney passed off all AP-related questions to Eric Holder, who in turn recused himself and told the media to please crucify the Deputy AG instead, it is unlikely that any material new information will be disclosed any time soon. However, courtesy of The Hill, we at least have some insight into the first gross offense by the administration revealed last week: the targeting of one political group over another by the supposedly impartial IRS. Specifically, attached below is the full 7 page questionnaire sent by the IRS to the Liberty Township Tea Party containing a list of 35 questions.

 

Guest Post: Technocratic Folly: Why Men Will Never Become Gods When we look at the entire summation of elitist efforts to remake the world, all we see is a naďve reorganizing of a much greater work of art.  Life is not perfect, at least, not by our definition, but life is also not a science; it is an emotional creation, with an emotional and spiritual brand of logic.  In reality, they believe in engineering future trends.  The elites want godlike power, but the greatest power of god is to create from nothingness.  Technocrats do not create.  Instead, they violently scoop up what already exists and fumble with it wildly, stupidly, fancying themselves omnipotent, like children lording over the ocean while pretending its a fish tank. They do not comprehend the substance of what they meddle in, and this is their greatest downfall.  You cannot improve on something you do not understand. Fundamental unknowns derail the pursuit of full knowledge, and thus, full control.  The universe has its own checks and balances in place to counter the ambitious, striking down thirsty faux gods who reach too high for what they do not respect, and will never deserve.

 

CBO Forecasts: Then And NowOr how a forecasted surplus turned out to be a $1+ trillion deficit in three short years...

 

Late Ramp Pushes S&P To Close At Now Standard All Time HighThanks to POMO (and the simple explanation of what everyone already knows from David Tepper), the 18th Tuesday in a row has closed with a bright green shade across the screen. Trannies gained 2% but the 25 point gain off overnight lows for the S&P 500 is the most impressive... with gains sustained by more short covering. As predicted first thing today, when we said the S&P 500 EPS multiple will increase by at least 0.15x on the back of POMO, we were not surprised to see the closing print result in precisely this amount of multiple expansion:A QE-unwind theme was modestly evident in other asset-classes: Treasuries (snapping higher after EU Close); Oil, gold, and silver all down; and credit spreads notably rolled over. But of course, equities don't care; why would they?

 

2007 Deja Vu As Bond Issuers Game Rating Agencies Once Again With home prices rising at near-record paces in SoCal, corporate debt yields at record-lows, equity markets surging at near-record rates, and high quality assets dwindling by the minute under the heel of a central bank jack boot; it is perhaps no surprise that investors have switched from finding leverage through the balance sheet (i.e. crappy quality firms) to finding leverage through the instrument (i.e. structured credit). The trouble this time is that yields (and spreads) being so low, the creators of the new-normal ABS, CDOs, and CLOs have to stoop to the old tricks to make their money (as we noted here). As Bloomberg reports, bond issuers are once agains exploiting the credit rating agency pay-for-performance business model to create "high-quality" collateralizable assets from utter garbage - such as auto loans.

 

Guest Post: A Brief History Of Cycles And Time, Part 2 History never changes. Or, at least it changes very slowly indeed. So here we are, like those before us, warning of our own Great Depression, of our own World War, or of even larger cycles like the fall of the English, Spanish, or Roman empires. And so far as we can tell, few listen and nothing changes. Why? Because it isnt time. Understanding long-term cycles, and how they shape our spectrum of responses in periods of crisis and transformation is key to comprehending what is to come (and how we will allow it to affect us). Do you really think your ancestors didnt see the Depression coming in 1921 or in 1929? Of course they did. The Balloon Option-ARM mortgage had just been invented, creating a housing boom larger and even more groundless as our own, immortalized by the Marx Brothers in The Cocoanuts. They warned the world then just as we do now, and no one listened then, just as they dont now. Why? It wasnt time.

 

Argentina Peso Gap Between Official And Black Market Rate Hits To 100%, BMWs Become Inflation HedgeDespite efforts by the government to quell the black-market (or blue-dollar) for Argentina's foreign exchange, the unofficial rate surged yesterday to 10.45 Pesos per USD. This is now double the official rate of 5.22 Pesos per USD. This implicit 50% devaluation comes amid the growing realization that there is no savings option to maintain the purchasing power of the peso in the context of sustained high inflation (no matter what the officials say) and negative real interest rates. The government is not amused, suggesting the devaluation won't happen (just as Mexico did right up until the day before they devalued), "those who seek to make money at the expense of devaluations must wait for another government." Perhaps the government should be careful with their threats? And of course, this could never happen in the US or Japan, right?

 

AG Holder To Recuse Himself From AP Leak-Gate Investigation From one farce to another: *HOLDER SAID TO RECUSE HIMSELF FROM AP PHONE RECORDS CASE *HOLDER SAID TO RECUSE HIMSELF BECAUSE HE WAS QUESTIONED IN CASE Yesterday, the Associated Press revealed the Department of Justice had been secretly monitoring both the personal and work phones of numerous AP editors and reporters. So just what did Holder know? For now, it is not known if Holder authorized or even knew about the investigation.

 

The Market Isn't Prepared For This Yesterday was another less than convincing session. Indices off recent tops and Europe weaker. Treasuries tumbled then rallied part way back on less than stellar retail sales report. It rather feels like we are going through the motions with little conviction one way or another (even with today's mini-melt-up). Markets crave direction. What I'd like to see is the JGB curve bull-flatten to restore faith in Global easing and the asset grabathon. Dont fight Kuroda it will happen.. but when? That's the macro-trade. But the short-term trade may be to hedge some risk, like the Nikkei's recent gains, and think about how to hedge bursting bubble risks in the credit markets. Or is there something bigger going-on just behind the horizon? A "No-See-Em" that is about to confirm a particular market direction? After all... the global economy is either growing, is set for growth, or this recession is becoming a long-term depression. So lets take a look at what's going on for signs of the hidden menace...

 

White House Holds Press Briefing: Will AP Questions Be Permitted? Will it be Benghazi? or the IRS Witch-Hunt? Or the AP Hack? Or how great the economy must be doing since stocks are surging? Or will anyone who asks questions be subject to immediate audit? Or are all questions moot? After all the White House knows precisely what will be asked long in advance...

 

PIMCO's Bill Gross Goes ChurchillianWhen the head of the world's largest bond fund starts paraphrasing war-time phrases, you know nothing is what it seems... It seems to us that this can only end one way and the fight on the beaches this time will be between economic reality and central-bank-inspired mass hypnosis.

 

 

Households Cut Another $110 Billion In Debt Even With $577 Billion In Q1 Mortgages Originated: Most Since 2007 It is not immediately clear how much of the net drop in mortgage balances from $8.033 trillion to $7.932 trillion was due to defaults as opposed to actual pay downs and non-credit rating impairing deleveraging. We do know that a whopping $577 billion in new mortgages were opened in Q1, the highest since Q3 of 2007.  Which means that some $680 billion in mortgages should have been extinguished in one quarter. If this happened primarily via defaults and discharges, one can only wonder just how the bank balance sheets were not decimated in Q1. As a reminder, half a year ago we observed that the bulk of US mortgage debt reduction has come from defaults not from actual deleveraging.

 

Is Lumber The New Baltic Dry? Lumber is limit down once again. It has been falling now for two months in a very 'non-housing-recovery'-like manner. Of course, when Lumber prices are rising, everything is bullish and it merely serves to confirm the exuberance and bias to optimism that we should all have. However, just like the Baltic Dry Index, when it's falling it is a bullish sign that the market is over-supplied in anticipation of good things to come. With Lumber's two-month lead over stocks signaling the equity market may well be a little ahead of itself, it seems the supply-demand balance is off in the construction materials business (which one is off - supply or demand) but have no fear, just as with the Baltic Dry, it will come back if we just keep hoping. Or did the actions of a central-bank inspire confidence once again in the 'wrong' industry and spark another mal-investment boom?

 

Nasdaq-100 Breaks 3000, First Time Since 2000 Up 195% from the Nov 2008 lows, the Nasdaq-100 has now broken back above the magical 3000 level. A level first seen in Nov 1999 (back then it took 4 more weeks to hit 4000). How long until CNBC adds a countdown timer to the Nasdaq all-time high?

 

POMO + Tepper + Tuesday = Total Equity Disconnect It's Tuesday. It's a big POMO day. And sure enough, equities are in full-tilt melt-up mode. In the face of a stronger USD, rallying bond market, higher VIX, and widening credit spreads, the S&P 500 has smahed through yet another set of stops, squeezed shorts wherever you can see, and made new all-time highs. Mardi Gras indeed... though one wonders what happens when Europe closes and POMO is over. Will USDJPY 102 mark the 'top' in stocks today?

 

Despite Abenomics Japan's Sharp Post Biggest Loss In 100 Years As reported earlier, at least one prominent hedge fund manager, Dan Loeb, is very bullish on Sony (or at least has played his cards well enough to buy the stock 50% lower and is using today's ramp to offload to unwitting momentum chasers as he did with Herbalife). Whether he is merely using the opportunity to earn some activism brownie points on the background of the overall levitation of the Japanese stock market, or is genuinely convinced there is upside for Sony remains to be seen. However, anyone who thinks that Japanese corporates have no place to go but up, is kindly urged to take a look at one-time Japanese electronics titan Sharp, which posted a whopping loss of $5.36 billion, the biggest loss in the company's 100 year history.

 

Michigan School Shuttered After Taking Money For Services Not Provided The Buena Vista school district in Michigan accepted $402,000 of aid over three months from the state for a service is was not providing. As RT reports, the school district has taken the drastic steps of firing all of its teachers and shuttering its classrooms before the end of the school-year as the state tries to claw back (or seek an alternative plan) its ill-gotten gains. "We've hit a dead end," the local school district explains, unable to help the school of 400 mostly black and poor students, explaining that they are hesitant to bailout school districts and set a bad precedent. One parent exclaimed, "Our kids ain't really learning like they used to," adding that, "being out of school this early is going to hurt them a lot." The local democratic Representative  added helpfully, "we know from past history that students have been treated differently - going back to Brown vs Board of Education." Buena Vista teachers had offered to work without pay for a week, but that was not enough to keep the district's schools open. Instead, the district may offer a skills camp, a voluntary substitute paid for by federal grants, and run six hours per day for up to six weeks.

 

Russia Captures US Embassy Worker In Act Of CIA Recruitment; CIA's "Dropbox" Gmail Address Revealed Following the just concluded recent visit by John Kerry to Russia, one may have been left with the impression that the tensions of the Cold War are dead and buried. Just the opposite it appears. In what may be a well-timed and orchestrated announcement, moments ago Russia announced that it had caught an American, Ryan Fogle, a third-secretary at the US Embassy in Moscow, "red-handed" as he tried to recruit a Russian intelligence officer to work for the CIA. There goes any leverage the US may have had in attempting to persuade Russia to relent on the joint-Western push to "liberate" Syria. Just as Russia, run by a former KGB spy, had intended all along, and just another slap in the face of the US department of state, which lately can't seem to find its way out of a scandal-ridden (and redacted) paper bag to save its life. But perhaps most amusing is that in the attached letter given to the recruitment prospect, the CIA give out the email address to be used to indicate interest in working for Langley as follows: [email protected]. How the times have changed.

Turmoiling Market Plummets By 0.17% On POMO-Free Day Treasuries underperformed but only modestly (ending the day 2-3bps higher in yield) but worth noting that the 10Y and 30Y and 29-30bps higher in yield post NFP. The S&P 500 made new all-time intraday highs (after ramping aggressively from the European close) but shorts seemed to know something and were heavy sellers from that point (with the 'most shorted' names actually closing down on the day). The Dow closed down 0.17% as there was no POMO to save us (despite a decent 330 ramp effort that dragged SPX into the green - just). It is elsewhere that cracks are appearing. VIX remains relatively bid to equity exuberance (as hedges remain) and the underperformance of credit is rather dramatic (typical underperformance has been reversed rapidly with in 2-3 days this year - not this time). A modestly stronger USD on the day (led by AUD weakness - not helping the carry traders) was not a factor for commodities where gold, silver, and oil (QE-sensitive) dropped 1% on the day. But then again, why worry, tomorrow is Turnaround Tuesday after all...

 

How The Average American Adult Spends 24 Hours Each DayIt may come as a surprise to some that when distributed across all American adults, the average American spent just 3.57 hours out of every 24 on work and work-related activities in 2011, according to the BLS' American Time Survey. The number one time consuming activity? Sleep, at 8.71 hours (an all time high for the series), followed by Leisure and Sports with 5.21 hours in second place. The balance of the 6.51 hours remaining? 1.77 hours for Household Activities, 1.24 for Eating and Drinking, and so on, until we hit less than half an hour (0.47 hours) spent on education activities. At least the average time spent on telephone calls, mail and email is not more than the amount of time Americans spend edumacating themselves.  http://albertpeia.com/24littlehours.htm

We just want to make sure all the key questions are asked and answered about this "outrageous" act...

 

No Mo' POMO?Despite the aura of control, Fed officials (and casual observers) may sense things spinning out of control. Of course, hyper-fragility is exactly the effect that all the Feds own actions would predictably lead to. When you divorce truth from reality, strange things are bound to happen. There is one thing that we know for sure in this strange period when bankers have tried to manage reality in the absence of truth: that advanced industrial-technological economies designed to run on $20-a-barrel oil cant run on $100-a-barrel oil, and that is why the US economy was subject to financialization in the first place - to offset declining productive activity by an attempt to get something for nothing. The world is about to find out that you really cant get something for nothing. It will be a harsh lesson.

 

Guest Post: A Brief History Of Cycles And Time, Part 1If weve learned one thing over the years from following markets, economics, and geopolitics is this: no man can push the Wheels of History. It unfolds in its own time and no other. The waves of human emotion, of optimism and pessimism both long and short term havent changed. So why are the markets still going up? Why cant people respond to warnings of the blogosphere, or warnings of collapsing economies and accounts right before their eyes? Answer: Because they cant. It isnt time - yet... Human emotions and behavior run in cycles of set period. Obviously humankind cannot become infinitely more optimistic forever into the future. In the same way trees dont grow to the sky, at some point human expectation must reverse and become less optimistic, more conservative and pessimistic until it reaches an opposite extreme. And this theory has a lot going for it: if governments truly controlled stock markets, economies, nations, then why would they ever decline? No government or market would ever voluntarily get smaller, less powerful, and prosperous. And yet despite everything they can do to prevent them, markets and economies always, always DO reverse. Always.

 

Speculator Gold Gross Shorts At All Time HighsPremia for gold bars (physical over paper) rallied to their highest since late-2008 according to SocGen, even as 'professional' investors look to position the exact other way. The combined short positions of futures and options speculators in COMEX gold is now at a record high for the third week (having surged from 4.3 million ounces in late September to a a stunning 13.9 million ounces short now. At the same time, Gold ETFs have only seen one in-flow day in the last 34 days. It seems investors are well-and-truly on one side of this boat - even as price continues to buck the supposed structural weakness.

Is A Fed 'Taper' Positive For Treasuries?There is no plan, no scheme that the Fed can concoct for exiting their support for the U.S. economy that will not negatively affect both the bond and equity markets and have a positive effect on the Dollar. The markets have relied upon the manna from Heaven to rise and virtually nothing else. The American economy cannot justify either the absolute levels of yield or the compression that has taken place or the lofty levels of our stock markets. All of this has had a single driver which is the Fed. The Fed has spent four years providing gifts for those that borrow and for the banks while penalizing those who save and invest. What one group gained the other lost. Now the Fed faces the dilemma of its own making; how to gradually exit their current strategy without setting the financial markets on their rear ends.

 

Detroit May Run Out Of Cash Next MonthAnother day, another US city on the brink of insolvency. This time it's Detroit, whose recently appointed emergency financial manager Kevyn Orr said may run out of cash next month and must cut costs such as long-term debt and retiree obligations. According to Bloomberg, "Orrs report says the cost of $9.4 billion in bond, pension and other long-term liabilities is sapping the ability to provide such basic services as public safety and transportation. He listed cutting debt principal, retiree benefits and jobs among options he may take. No one should underestimate the severity of the financial crisis, He called his report "a sobering wake-up call about the dire financial straits the city of Detroit faces."

 

S&P Hits New All-Time High As Credit PlungesPresented with little comment aside to remember what we said the market ignored in 2007... and as a reminder, we warned last night that the Hilsenrath article would be spun to the equity-eating retail public as a positive (just another reason to buy stocks)...

 

Chinese Power Consumption Collapses: Economic Growth Slowest Since Early 2009Not much to add here. If there still is any confusion why China is desperately manipulating its economic data, so balatantly in fact that virtually everyone has now noticed, this chart should put all doubt to rest. According to CLSA's Chris Wood using NEA data, China's monthly power consumption (the most accurate proxy for underlying economic strength according to the current premier) growth slowed from 5.5% YoY in Jan-Feb 2013 to 1.9% YoY in March, the slowest growth rate since May 2009 (as discussed in-depth here).

 

Obama Comments On IRS Witch-Hunt Scandal - Live WebcastThe irony that the 'no taxation without representation' nation's Prime Minister David Cameron is on stage with President Obama amid the IRS-Gate scandal is not lost on us... We are sure the President will distance himself at pace from the witch-hunt - though it could get awkward on stage with the British PM looking on.

 

Ron Paul: What No One Wants to Hear About BenghaziNeither side wants to talk about the real lesson of Benghazi: interventionism always carries with it unintended consequences. The US attack on Libya led to the unleashing of Islamist radicals in Libya. These radicals have destroyed the country, murdered thousands, and killed the US ambassador... Previously secure weapons in Libya flooded the region after the US attack, with many of them going to Islamist radicals who make up the majority of those fighting to overthrow the government in Syria. The US government has intervened in the Syrian conflict on behalf of the same rebels it assisted in the Libya conflict, likely helping with the weapons transfers... The real lesson of Benghazi will not be learned because neither Republicans nor Democrats want to hear it. But it is our interventionist foreign policy and its unintended consequences that have created these problems, including the attack and murder of Ambassador Stevens. The disputed talking points and White House whitewashing are just a sideshow.

 

Fight World Hunger: Eat Insects, UN RecommendsWe, and the TBAC, previously made clear there is a massive shortage of high-quality collateral - the stuff that forms the backbone of modern monetary practice- some $11 trillion to be exact , as the insolvent world encumbers every possible asset that is not nailed down with more and more and more debt. However, we didn't realize that the asset shortage has also spread to food. As it turns out, Malthus may have been right after all. But fear not: the UN has a modest proposal how to resolve this particular asset shortage: Eat Moar Insects, at least according to the FAO's latest report: "Edible insects Future prospects for food and feed security."

 

"No One Gets Rich Betting Against The Market - Until The Moment The Market Is Wrong"There a couple of good reasons to be more than moderately concerned about whats happening in the fixed income space. Once more my gallant crew, we are sailing into choppy waters... which may mean trouble ahead, but it also spells opportunity! Two things concern us: Firstly, despite global easing, global bond yields have backed up last few days. Immediately the Fed gets the blame with rumours they may scale back QE which is reactive nonsense. The Fed has made clear we need to see clear evidence of growth, not just hints, before they change course. But the Treasury market is off across the curve. JGBs, Gilts and Europe are all higher last few days. Is this a buying window after some mild panic, or has something really changed? The second issue with the market currently is that global rates are so low the market is losing the will to live/play. When highly speculative CCC names yield less than 7% what's the point in investing? The risk-reward is just too skewed toward higher risk over lowering returns that it simply makes little sense to take.

 

What Bloomberg Tells Us About The Whereabouts Of The NY Fed's Traders And AnalystsThanks to the handy Bloomberg surveillance tools, we know that there are 287 current members of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York with access to a terminal. As of this moment an unimpressive 10% of them (29 to be exact) are signaling green (or active) with Kevin Henry still 'grey' (or untracked), although somewhat expectedly, the bulk of the active NY Fed employees are traders in some capacity. While some in the media would suggest this is somehow critical insights that the Bloomberg reporters can use to completely understand what is going on in the world, we question the usefulness of knowing whether Bill Dudley is logged in. With only 10% online - is that a buy, sell, or hold signal for Goldman or JPM? More importantly, perhaps, we would lose the ability to track the whereabouts of such 'real' Bloomberg users as Fukky Tantang, Diane Beaver, and Ludger Poos.

 

RANsquawk Week Ahead - 13th May 2013

 

Retail Sales Post Modest Beat Despite Ongoing Plunge In Gasoline SalesIn keeping with the now constant trend of baffle with BS, since everyone was expecting a weaker advance retail sales print, just like with the BLS report, it was virtually assured that the data would prove everyone wrong. Sure enough, moments ago the census department announced that headline retail sales rose by 0.1% in April, from a downward revised -0.5% in March, beating expectations of a second decline in a row of -0.3%. Retail sales ex autos were in line with expectations at -0.1%, on expectations of a -0.2% print, but it was the sales number ex-autos and gas which surprised the most, rising 0.6% on expectations of a +0.3% increase, up from a -0.1% decline. Of note: gasoline stations saw a dramatic 4.7% drop in sales, following a 3.2% drop in March: are all US commuters now using Back to the Future type hoverboards or just driving to work in the Tesla Model S?

India Trade Deficit Deteriorates As Gold Imports Soar 138%India's economic boogeyman, the monthly trade deficit, continues to rear its ugly head, this and every time, driven be the country's insatiable desire for gold which is so powerful, the country took full advantage of the plunge in gold prices, and saw business imports of gold soar by 138% y/y in April, forcing the trade deficit to hit a 3 month high of $17.8 billion as more fiat left the country in return for bringing in more of the "barbarous relic." Gold imports more than doubled on both a Y/Y and sequential basis, with gold accounting for $7.5 billion, or 18% of total imports, compared to $3.1 billion in March.

 

US, South Korea Begin Joint Naval Exercises Involving US Aircraft CarrierFor all his endless posturing, North Korea's Un has done absolutely nothing. And if his inability and unwillingness to translate threats into actions continue, that will pretty much be it for North Korea's hope to even get a few loose pennies as a nuisance factor. This may be tested in the next 48 hours as South Korea and the US begin two days of joint naval exercises off the country's east coast, involving the nuclear-powered US aircraft carrier CVN 68 Nimitz. Perhaps more informative than North Korea's bluster will be to see what if any reaction China has to a US presence in a hotly contested (with Japan) naval territory.

 

Key Events And Issues In The Week AheadIn the US, retail sales are expected to continue to slow in the headline, while retail sales ex autos, building materials, and gas should turn positive in April according to Wall Street analysts. Goldman remains below consensus for Thursday's Philadelphia Fed survey, forecasting a slight improvement on the previous month. The firm also expects the flash reading for Euro area Q1 GDP to come in slightly below consensus, consistent with a shallow contraction. We forecast German GDP will turn positive in Q1 after Q4 2012's negative reading. In Japan, GS sees Q1 GDP at 2.8% qoq ann., slightly above consensus, with stronger consumer spending the main driver. Among the central bank meetings this week, Russia, Chile, and Indonesia are expected to remain on hold, in line with consensus.

Marc Faber: "Something Will Break Very Badly" During an interview with The Globe and Mail, 'Gloom, Boom, and Doom's Marc Faber unleashed some awful truthiness about gold "I buy gold every month", real estate "bubble territory", and the likelihood of a crash in smoke-and-mirrors-like asset markets - "In the 40 years I’ve been working as an economist and investor, I have never seen such a disconnect between the asset market and the economic reality... Asset markets are in the sky and the economy of the ordinary people is in the dumps, where their real incomes adjusted for inflation are going down and asset markets are going up... Something will break very bad."

 

Closing Ramp Sends S&P To Fresh Record Amid Cross Asset Chaos No news is the best news. Quite a week across every asset class dominated by the last two days as USDJPY broke 100 and seemingly all hell broke loose (apart from in stocks). Spikes in Treasury yields (10Y and 30Y +15bps on the week); a surging USD (+1.3%) driven by major JPY and AUD weakness (-2.75%) and the biggest drop in EUR in 6 weeks; Gold and Silver sold off hard (-3.5%) before bouncing back this afternoon ending -1.5% on the week; crude oil plunged but the Brent Vigilantes were not so easily beaten and ripped back above $96 and higher to close the week. Bond-like stocks (Utes) were hammered as high-beta cyclicals (homebuilders) ripped and while stock indices rolled over a little they remain near highs. It's not all sunshine and ponies though... credit markets drastically underperformed (playing catch down from an exuberant few days but sending a clear message to stocks) and the VIX curve steepened rather significantly around the Labor Day horizon - a date that represents desk chatter for "tapering" and debt ceiling drama to re-appear). S&P futures exhibited a spooky 15-min cycle zig-zag pattern this afternoon - in a totally human way... and average trade size was very low (algos) - right before the late-day ramp.

 

The Hilsenrath "Tapering" Article Is OutYesterday, the rumor turned out to be a joke. Today, there was no rumor, but as we warned four hours ago, it was only a matter of time. Less than four hours later, the time has come, and Jon Hilsenrath's "Fed Maps Exit from Stimulus", conveniently appearing after the close, has just been released.

 

Guest Post: The New European RevoltIt is a fair bet that one way or another, the current generation of young people will be unwilling and/or unable to pay for Social Security and Medicare as they presently stand. Of course, Western Europe has the same problem and President Hollande of France recently got a whiff of what is coming from an open letter addressed to him by a 20-year old student named Clara G... "I want to go to a country where there is growth, where wages are rising, where being rich is not a deadly sin, a country in short where the individual and the society have confidence that tomorrow will be brighter than today." Developed nations with deteriorating demographics will have a big problem if large taxpayers decided to move away to lower tax jurisdictions. Claras letter suggests that an exodus by the young would be just as damaging, indeed probably more damaging.

Where In The World Are The Millionaires Hiding?More millionaires live in Tokyo than in any other city, according to a new report from WealthInsight, beating out New York and London. The Economist notes that the city, which boasts 460,700 individuals with net assets of $1m or more (excluding their primary residences), is home to over a fifth of Japan's millionaires. However, when it comes to real money (since who can get by on a mere million dollars worth of wealth these days), London tops the list with 4,224 multi-millionaires. But when it comes to the real BSDs, New York City and Moscow rule the world with 70 and 64 billionaires respectively wondering the streets. As The Economist also notes, should you wish to rub shoulders with the rich, heading to Tokyo, London, New York, or Moscow would be a mistake - it is Frankfurt that has the highest millionaires per capita (with 75 out of every 1000 people having at least a seven figure net worth).

 

Previewing The Market's "Taper" TantrumThe reason for yesterday's late day swoon was a humorous tweet, which subsequently became a full-blown serious rumor, that the WSJ's Hilsenrath would leak the first hint that the Fed is contemplating preannouncing the "tapering" of its $85 billion in monthly purchases. Naturally, this did not happen as we explained. And yet, judging by the market's response there is substantial concern that the Fed may do just that. To be sure, it is quite likely that in addition to just rumblings out of economists, which are always wrong and thus ignored, that one of the Fed's unofficial channels may hint at some tightening in the monthly flow (if certainly not halt, and absolutely not unwind). Which makes sense: all previous instances of non-open ended QE took place for up to 6-9 months before the Fed briefly let off the accelerator to see just how big the downward response is. The problem now, however, is that even the tiniest hint that the grossly overvalued "market", which has risen only thanks to multiple expansion for the past year, would lead to a massive overshoot not only to whatever an ex-Fed "fair value" may be, but overshoot wildly as the liquidation programs kick in across a Wall Street that is more liquidity starved today than it has been in a decade. This is precisely what Scotiabank's Guy Hasselman thinks: "Few care about right-tail events, but should investors decide to pare risk in reaction to a hint of tapering, the overshoot to the downside may surprise many. The combination of too many sellers, too few buyers, and dreadful (and declining) liquidity means a down-side overshoot is highly likely."

 

The BTFD Strategy Has Never Worked Better (But Beware)There is a mathematical term used to describe a time series' propensity to mean-revert or not. Autocorrelation measures the tendency for today's price direction to be in the same direction as yesterday's. In a period of negative autocorrelation (such as today) when the market sells off one day it is much more likely to rebound the next. As Artemis Capital's Chris Cole notes, the current level of negative auto-correlation (often associated with positive for 'buy-the-dip' strategies in an upward trending market) has never been higher. Mean reversion and negative autocorrelations are one reason why many pure 'portfolio insurance' strategies are struggling with losses. If you are constantly shorting volatility this trend toward powerful mean reversion is your best friend. However, empirically, this high mean reversion is unsustainable; the potential for mean reversion regimes to shift is driven by increasing leverage and interconnectedness in the system.

 

David Einhorn's Q1 Investor Letter: "Under The Circumstances, It Is Curious That Gold Isnt Doing Better." Sadly, not much in terms of macro observations this quarter or discussions of jelly donuts, but a whole lot on the fund's biggest Q1 underperformer, Apple and the hedge fund's ongoing fight for shareholder friendly capital reallocation as well as proving Modigliani-Miller wrong. And then this cryptic ellipsis: "Under the circumstances, it is curious that gold isnt doing better." Say no more, David. We get it.

Communism For Some, $815 Million For Others: How Mao's Granddaughter "Greatly Leapt Forward" To Untold Riches

The Number Of US Citizens On Disability Is Now Larger Than The Population Of GreeceThe tremendous increase in people on SSDI is nothing but a gigantic fraud. Indeed, the program is rife with unaffordable fraud! } The number of people on SSDI now exceeds the entire population of Greece. The aging of the population has nothing to do with the increase. In 1968 there were 51 workers for every person on disability. Today there are 13 workers for every person on disablity. Even the most pollyanna would agree that medical advancements since 1968 have been significant. These medical advancements would argue for less people being on disability and unable to work. Workplace safety measures have been increased exponentially since 1968, so that also argues for less disabled workers. The good old ADA law forced all workplaces to become disabled friendly. That argues for less people on disability. The country has transitioned from a manufacturing society to a service society. Workers dont work on dangerous assembly lines anymore. Robots do the dangerous stuff. This should have dramatically reduced worker injuries and disabilities. The tremendous increase in people on SSDI is nothing but a gigantic fraud. The government broadened the scope of disabilities to include stress, depression, and non-diagnosable things like aches and pains. And don't forget, you get the added benefit of Medicare coverage after only two years of SSDI stress.

MarketWatch  Hunting the last bear Wall Street needs its own Endangered Species Act since it seems everyone is now a bull.  By John Nyaradi ‘… It seems that everyone on Wall Street is a bull today as the S&P 500 SPX +0.41% and Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.32%  have settled into a predictable routine of "another day, another record," despite the steady stream of negative macro economic data.

Bears, now virtually extinct, were hoping instead for a feast as the poor economic reports came pouring in over recent days:

1. April nonfarm payrolls — a mediocre 165,000 payroll jobs added which was celebrated as a huge win by markets last week.

2. ISM nonmanufacturing report showed a decline to 53.1, broadly missing expectations.

3. April manufacturing ISM report posted a drop to 50.7 from 51.3 in March. Because 50 is the threshold which distinguishes contraction from expansion, the April manufacturing PMI fell to just barely within the expansionary range.

4. Euro-zone manufacturing PMI for April declined to 46.7 from 46.8 in March while euro-zone retail sales declined by 0.1% in March. For the 27-nation European Union, March retail sales fell by 0.2%,

5. Euro-zone unemployment came in at 12.1% in March.

6. April's HSBC China Composite PMI (which covers both manufacturing and services) declined to 51.1 from 53.5 in March, indicating the weakest rate of expansion since last October. Hong Kong's PMI also settled into contractionary territory at 49.9, down from 50.5 in March.

Despite all the bad economic news, Wall Street bears look positively cadaverous as financial markets levitate higher and seemingly disconnect from the real economy. This disconnect is generating an expanding discussion, and even a name, "The Great Disconnect," which has followed "The Great Recession," as Wall Street's fortunes look decidedly different from those on Main Street.

Everyone seems to be in agreement that the recent financial levitation has been generated by global central banks, and during his presentation at last week's 10th annual Strategic Investment Conference, presented by Altegris Investments and John Mauldin, Pimco's Mohamed El-Erian emphasized that investors must be ready for the "hand off" by central banks, when the era of assisted support gives way to the era of organic growth.

Even the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett, has joined the discussion by saying that when the Federal Reserve finally raises interest rates from their current near-zero level, it will be the "shot heard around the world".

As the discussion grows louder, the Federal Reserve seems to be coming under ever intensifying pressure, and that was in evidence last week when the Fed announced that it would continue its bond-buying program. known as quantitative easing. Longtime Fed critic Ron Paul emphasized that the program works only to the advantage of big bankers and politicians, while hurting middle-class and impoverished Americans. Warren Buffett echoed a similar theme when he pointed out — at Berkshire Hathaway's BRK.A +0.96% annual shareholders' meeting in Nebraska — that the Fed's quantitative easing program has made life difficult for people who live on fixed-income investments…’   {  Modern 1920’s redux … all we need are ‘flappers’!  }

This is an all too familiar scam that as before, everyone is and will be paying for. How does it feel to be dumb! [Parenthetically, just this moment, an ‘equities expert’ (on one of those syndicated business programs, NBR-just bought out by cnbc which means they just got a lot dumber and I had to turn it off and will never watch NBR again…nbc is a horrible propaganda network (finishing deservingly last among the so-called ‘majors’), mobsters like trump on that ‘apprentice thing’ with toothy nutcases like gary busey, etc.. ‘No credibility whatsoever and a total joke!) said house prices (as well as the ‘paper shares’, gas, oil, food staples, meat, etc.) are rising (duh! … contraindicated implication-‘happy days are here again’)… riiiiight … just like zimbabwee! How pathetic! ]
Goldman 'Explains' The 'Market': "Best Not To Look A Gift-Horse In The Mouth" ZH { Riiiiight! Sounds like a plan! The ‘gift-horse’ that’s … not a gift-horse at all … You’re paying through your nose and teeth. It was amusing to see mainstream media puzzling over the record high gas prices so early in this time of year, and as well, the coming jump in beef prices. There’s no mystery here! This is the natural and inevitable concomitant to ‘printing presses gone wild’. Not printing presses for product for intellectual consumption; but rather, printing presses (whether by print or computer ledger entry) for those ever more worthless paper fiat dollars backed by nothing but insurmountable debt of a defacto bankrupt nation. Remember: There’s no free lunch … fraudulent wall street’s predictable/intended gain (from QE, currency debasement, etc.) is your substantial pain! It’s the zimbabwee financial model gone american …  ,   Kyle Bass Tells 'Nominal' Stock Market Cheerleaders: Remember Zimbabwe
Amid the euphoria of today's crossing of the Dow's Maginot Line at 14,000, Kyle Bass provided a few minutes of sanity this morning in an interview with CNBC's Gary Kaminsky. Bass starts by reflecting on the ongoing (and escalating) money-printing (or balance sheet expansion as we noted here) as the driver of stock movements currently and would not be surprised to see them move higher still (given the ongoing printing expected). However, he caveats that nominally bullish statement with a critical point, "Zimbabwe's stock market was the best performer this decade - but your entire portfolio now buys you 3 eggs" as purchasing power is crushed. Investors, he says, are "too focused on nominal prices" as the rate of growth of the monetary base is destroying true wealth. Bass is convinced that cost-push inflation is coming (as the velocity of money will move once psychology shifts) and investors must not take their eye off the insidious nature of underlying inflation - no matter what we are told by the government (as they will always lie when its critical)…”  ,  Post-Hyperinflationary Zimbabwe Welcomes The Holidays With 80% Unemployment, Empty ATMs And Paralyzed Transport  { Just another typical nigger! Speaking of niggers, if wobama is given the opportunity as he has thus far, he’ll tread the same path as fellow nigger mugabe. } … Zimbabweans are facing bleak holidays this year amid rising poverty, food and cash shortages and political uncertainty, with some describing it as the worst since the formation of the coalition government in the southern African nation.... Banks have closed, ATMs have run out of cash and transport services have been paralyzed." It gets worse: "Zimbabwe's unemployment is pegged at around 80 percent with many people in Harare, the capital, eking out a living by selling vegetables and fruits on street corners." And all of this is after the massive economic imbalances in Zimbabwe's economy should have been "fixed" (or so conventional economic theory would have one believe) courtesy of hyperinflation, which left any savers in tatters, destroyed the value of the old currency, benefited solely debtors  but also allowed a fresh start to a government, which could only remain in power due to a violent power grab by the democratically elected-turned-dictator Robert Mugabe.  }

The Takedown Of Gold A Sign That The Entire Global Financial System Is About To Crash ?

http://albertpeia.com/globalfinancialsystemcrash.htm

 

‘…So who is behind all of this orchestration?  Well, according to Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, it is actually the Federal Reserve... The Federal Reserve began its April Fools assault on gold by sending the word to brokerage houses, which quickly went out to clients, that hedge funds and other large investors were going to unload their gold positions and that clients should get out of the precious metal market prior to these sales. As this inside information was the governments own strategy, individuals cannot be prosecuted for acting on it. By this operation, the Federal Reserve, a totally corrupt entity, was able to combine individual flight with institutional flight. Bullion prices took a big hit, and bullishness departed from the gold and silver markets. The flow of dollars into bullion, which threatened to become a torrent, was stopped. In fact, Dr. Roberts says that former Goldman Sachs trader Andrew Maguire is reporting that the Fed orchestrated the dumping of 500 tons of naked gold shorts into the market on Friday... According to Andrew Maguire, on Friday, April 12, the Feds agents hit the market with 500 tons of naked shorts. Normally, a short is when an investor thinks the price of a stock or commodity is going to fall. He wants to sell the item in advance of the fall, pocket the money, and then buy the item back after it falls in price, thus making money on the short sale. If he doesnt have the item, he borrows it from someone who does, putting up cash collateral equal to the current market price. Then he sells the item, waits for it to fall in price, buys it back at the lower price and returns it to the owner who returns his collateral. If enough shorts are sold, the result can be to drive down the market price. As Dr. Roberts noted, this represents an absolutely massive amount of gold... Consider the 500 tons of paper gold sold on Friday. Begin with the question, how many ounces is 500 tons? There are 2,000 pounds to one ton. 500 tons equal 1,000,000 pounds. There are 16 ounces to one pound, which comes to 16 million ounces of short sales on Friday. Who has 16 million ounces of gold? At the beginning gold price that day of about $1,550, that comes to $24,800,000,000. Who has that kind of money? A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE NEED TO BE CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATED. Meanwhile, many are considering this takedown of gold to be an ominous sign that another major financial crisis may be heading our way. Just remember what happened back in 2008.  As Zero Hedge noted on Monday, the price of gold suddenly plunged 21 percent in July 2008.  That was just a couple of months before the U.S. stock market crashed in the fall...

 

 

El-Erian's Summary: "Virtually Every Market Is Trading At Very Artificial Levels""In order for central banks to achieve their ultimate economic objective - which is growth and jobs - they have to push investors into taking more risk than is justified," is the somewhat chilling warning that PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian gives in this excellent interview with the WSJ. "Central banks are operating through the wealth effect and animal spirits," El-Erian says peeling back the truth onion, as they prop up asset prices to "artificial levels, in virtually every market." Worries over the central bankers of the world withdrawing easy money policies too early are "unwarranted," he notes, adding that he suspects, "they will most likely stay too long and they will consciously make that mistake." Critically, though, he sends a message that appears to fit with many of our recent discussions (most recently here) that "if these levels arent validated by the fundamentals, then investors will get hurt."

Communism For Some, $815 Million For Others: How Mao's Granddaughter "Greatly Leapt Forward" To Untold Riches For a country, whose founder Chairman Mao once upon a time envisioned great wealth equality for all and a communist utopia, things sure have had a very capitalist ending. Perhaps nowhere is this more visible than in Mao's lineage itself, where we find that the granddaughter of Mao, Kong Dongmei, managed to rise above the great unwashed mass of egalitarianism, and ended up just slightly more equal as a result of the Great Leap Forward, with a personal fortune amounting to $815 million according to New Fortune, a Chinese financial magazine. But it is not so much the realization that the occupation of politics is one grand lie (second perhaps only to economics) and where preaching equality for all is merely a means to achieve great wealth for yourself, but that the 40 year old descendant of the Chairman, with her wealth of nearly $1 billion, is merely the 242nd richest person in China, which means there are over 200 billionaires in the country, the bulk of whom we can only imagine are descendants of the original "communist" founders of the country.

Initial Claims Drop To 324K, Lowest Since January 2008There was no surprise in today's Initial Claims data, which continued the downward trend seen in recent months (despite the data seen in the most recent JOLTS survey which was hardly as optimistic on recent labor trends as the NFP number of the weekly claims data), with the headline number dropping to 323K, down from an upward revised 327K, and below the expected 335K print. On the surface, and at least to algos, this continues to be good news. The question remains whether the improving claim trend is due to fewer layoffs, or a lower marginal detachment workforce due to the labor force participation rate which was at 33 year lows for the second month in a low. At this point any additional substantial drops below the 300,000 range will likely mean a major distortion in the labor force as this is where claims numbers were at a time when the economy was actually strong, as opposed to the current liquified stock-market manipulated sham.

 

The Depressing Effect Of QEIt is rather like sitting in the middle of the desert. We have $100 billion of new sand being pumped in by the Fed each month. Our desert doesn't get much wider as defined by new issuance and so one dune is heaped on another, the compression continues and yields, even from here, will decline. Our sand trap is a fabulous world for borrowers and issuers and a miserable world for investors. The general thinking usually stops here but there is more to this story than that. Over a period of time wealth declines as the bonds markets hold five times the assets of the equity markets and so the lack of yield, of income, begins to take its toll on consumer spending, on corporate revenues and then on profits and on the ability of those dependent of savings to maintain their standard of living. The continual flow of money has helped the banks and helped corporate borrowers but it has not filtered down to the savers and, in fact, their position has been lessened by what the Fed has done.

 

Greek Unemployment Hits New Record High, Youth Jobless Rises By 5% In One Month To 64.2%The Greek economic depressionary catastrophe continues to merrily chug along. Hours ago, Greek Elstat reported that February unemployment rose to a new record high of 27.0%, with the January number revised from 27.2% to 26.7%, up from 21.9% in February 2012, and almost as if unlike the Greek BLS is not even trying to fudge numbers anymore and wants to show a deteriorating situation (or, as it was called in the Old Normal - "reality"). Looking at the Shadow economy, the number of people who are inactive, or "neither worked neither looked for a job", hit 3,358,649. This number is just shy of the total people employed, meaning in 2-3 months, the Greek shadow economy will be greater than the official, taxed-one. A gender breakdown shows that females have never had it worse with 31% unemployment, compared to 24.1% for men. But the most stunning number was the number of unemployed Greek youths (15-24), which hit a record 64.2%, the highest number on record, and a mindblowing 5% increase from the 59.3% youth unemployment reported in January, and a 10% increase from a year ago.

 

Israel Informs US That Russia Plans To Sell Weapons To SyriaWe almost got an entire 24 hour period that did not have news about imminent war rumblings out of Syria. Almost. Late last night WSJ reported about the civil war torn country (in which the rebels may or may not be using chemical weapons, but are backed by both Al Qaeda and the US government) again, this time on a leak by Israel having warned the US that Russians are "imminently" going to sell advanced ground-to-air missile systems to Syria "that would significantly boost the regime's ability to stave off intervention in its civil war." Supposedly this means that Israel would be unable to continue its unimpeded military incursions of Syrian sovereign airspace and blow stuff up at whim just because it feels like it, and for whatever pretext the Israeli defense forces come up with.

MarketWatch  Hunting the last bear Wall Street needs its own Endangered Species Act since it seems everyone is now a bull.  By John Nyaradi ‘… It seems that everyone on Wall Street is a bull today as the S&P 500 SPX +0.41% and Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.32%  have settled into a predictable routine of "another day, another record," despite the steady stream of negative macro economic data.

Bears, now virtually extinct, were hoping instead for a feast as the poor economic reports came pouring in over recent days:

1. April nonfarm payrolls — a mediocre 165,000 payroll jobs added which was celebrated as a huge win by markets last week.

2. ISM nonmanufacturing report showed a decline to 53.1, broadly missing expectations.

3. April manufacturing ISM report posted a drop to 50.7 from 51.3 in March. Because 50 is the threshold which distinguishes contraction from expansion, the April manufacturing PMI fell to just barely within the expansionary range.

4. Euro-zone manufacturing PMI for April declined to 46.7 from 46.8 in March while euro-zone retail sales declined by 0.1% in March. For the 27-nation European Union, March retail sales fell by 0.2%,

5. Euro-zone unemployment came in at 12.1% in March.

6. April's HSBC China Composite PMI (which covers both manufacturing and services) declined to 51.1 from 53.5 in March, indicating the weakest rate of expansion since last October. Hong Kong's PMI also settled into contractionary territory at 49.9, down from 50.5 in March.

Despite all the bad economic news, Wall Street bears look positively cadaverous as financial markets levitate higher and seemingly disconnect from the real economy. This disconnect is generating an expanding discussion, and even a name, "The Great Disconnect," which has followed "The Great Recession," as Wall Street's fortunes look decidedly different from those on Main Street.

Everyone seems to be in agreement that the recent financial levitation has been generated by global central banks, and during his presentation at last week's 10th annual Strategic Investment Conference, presented by Altegris Investments and John Mauldin, Pimco's Mohamed El-Erian emphasized that investors must be ready for the "hand off" by central banks, when the era of assisted support gives way to the era of organic growth.

Even the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett, has joined the discussion by saying that when the Federal Reserve finally raises interest rates from their current near-zero level, it will be the "shot heard around the world".

As the discussion grows louder, the Federal Reserve seems to be coming under ever intensifying pressure, and that was in evidence last week when the Fed announced that it would continue its bond-buying program. known as quantitative easing. Longtime Fed critic Ron Paul emphasized that the program works only to the advantage of big bankers and politicians, while hurting middle-class and impoverished Americans. Warren Buffett echoed a similar theme when he pointed out — at Berkshire Hathaway's BRK.A +0.96% annual shareholders' meeting in Nebraska — that the Fed's quantitative easing program has made life difficult for people who live on fixed-income investments…’   {  Modern 1920’s redux … all we need are ‘flappers’!  }

But most average Americans are not that concerned with the performance of the stock market.  They just want to be able to go to work, pay the bills and provide for their families.  During the last recession, millions of Americans lost their jobs and millions of Americans lost their homes that will happen again.  Sadly, it appears that another major recession is quickly approaching.

The Financial Press: A Disinformation Machine   Paul Craig Roberts | Let’s take a walk through the BLS report and you can arrive at your own conclusion.   { All bad news and these ever more worthless commissioned-paper (actually not even) shares at lightning computerized speed are rallying … just like zimbawee (the best performing stock-market of the decade past) … and just like zimbabwee, they’re all a bunch of niggers on wall street (their QE welfare everyone’s paying for included) … no wonder this country’s done/in protracted decline! This is an all too familiar scam that as before, everyone is and will be paying for. How does it feel to be dumb! [Parenthetically, just this moment, an ‘equities expert’ (on one of those syndicated business programs, NBR-just bought out by cnbc which means they just got a lot dumber and I had to turn it off and will never watch NBR again…nbc is a horrible propaganda network (finishing deservingly last among the so-called ‘majors’), mobsters like trump on that ‘apprentice thing’ with toothy nutcases like gary busey, etc.. ‘No credibility whatsoever and a total joke!) said house prices (as well as the ‘paper shares’, gas, oil, food staples, meat, etc.) are rising (duh! … contraindicated implication-‘happy days are here again’)… riiiiight … just like zimbabwee! How pathetic! ]
Goldman 'Explains' The 'Market': "Best Not To Look A Gift-Horse In The Mouth" ZH { Riiiiight! Sounds like a plan! The ‘gift-horse’ that’s … not a gift-horse at all … You’re paying through your nose and teeth. It was amusing to see mainstream media puzzling over the record high gas prices so early in this time of year, and as well, the coming jump in beef prices. There’s no mystery here! This is the natural and inevitable concomitant to ‘printing presses gone wild’. Not printing presses for product for intellectual consumption; but rather, printing presses (whether by print or computer ledger entry) for those ever more worthless paper fiat dollars backed by nothing but insurmountable debt of a defacto bankrupt nation. Remember: There’s no free lunch … fraudulent wall street’s predictable/intended gain (from QE, currency debasement, etc.) is your substantial pain! It’s the zimbabwee financial model gone american …  ,   Kyle Bass Tells 'Nominal' Stock Market Cheerleaders: Remember Zimbabwe
Amid the euphoria of today's crossing of the Dow's Maginot Line at 14,000, Kyle Bass provided a few minutes of sanity this morning in an interview with CNBC's Gary Kaminsky. Bass starts by reflecting on the ongoing (and escalating) money-printing (or balance sheet expansion as we noted here) as the driver of stock movements currently and would not be surprised to see them move higher still (given the ongoing printing expected). However, he caveats that nominally bullish statement with a critical point, "Zimbabwe's stock market was the best performer this decade - but your entire portfolio now buys you 3 eggs" as purchasing power is crushed. Investors, he says, are "too focused on nominal prices" as the rate of growth of the monetary base is destroying true wealth. Bass is convinced that cost-push inflation is coming (as the velocity of money will move once psychology shifts) and investors must not take their eye off the insidious nature of underlying inflation - no matter what we are told by the government (as they will always lie when its critical)…”  ,  Post-Hyperinflationary Zimbabwe Welcomes The Holidays With 80% Unemployment, Empty ATMs And Paralyzed Transport  { Just another typical nigger! Speaking of niggers, if wobama is given the opportunity as he has thus far, he’ll tread the same path as fellow nigger mugabe. } … Zimbabweans are facing bleak holidays this year amid rising poverty, food and cash shortages and political uncertainty, with some describing it as the worst since the formation of the coalition government in the southern African nation.... Banks have closed, ATMs have run out of cash and transport services have been paralyzed." It gets worse: "Zimbabwe's unemployment is pegged at around 80 percent with many people in Harare, the capital, eking out a living by selling vegetables and fruits on street corners." And all of this is after the massive economic imbalances in Zimbabwe's economy should have been "fixed" (or so conventional economic theory would have one believe) courtesy of hyperinflation, which left any savers in tatters, destroyed the value of the old currency, benefited solely debtors  but also allowed a fresh start to a government, which could only remain in power due to a violent power grab by the democratically elected-turned-dictator Robert Mugabe.  }

The same applies to most market forecasts. With some rare exceptions (like our commodity analysts? recent prescient call for a slump in the gold price), analysts don?t like to stand out from the crowd. It is dangerous and career-challenging. In that vein, we repeat our key forecasts of the S&P Composite to bottom around 450, accompanied by sub-1% US 10y yields and gold above $10,000."

The Takedown Of Gold A Sign That The Entire Global Financial System Is About To Crash ?

http://albertpeia.com/globalfinancialsystemcrash.htm

 

‘…So who is behind all of this orchestration?  Well, according to Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, it is actually the Federal Reserve... The Federal Reserve began its April Fools assault on gold by sending the word to brokerage houses, which quickly went out to clients, that hedge funds and other large investors were going to unload their gold positions and that clients should get out of the precious metal market prior to these sales. As this inside information was the governments own strategy, individuals cannot be prosecuted for acting on it. By this operation, the Federal Reserve, a totally corrupt entity, was able to combine individual flight with institutional flight. Bullion prices took a big hit, and bullishness departed from the gold and silver markets. The flow of dollars into bullion, which threatened to become a torrent, was stopped. In fact, Dr. Roberts says that former Goldman Sachs trader Andrew Maguire is reporting that the Fed orchestrated the dumping of 500 tons of naked gold shorts into the market on Friday... According to Andrew Maguire, on Friday, April 12, the Feds agents hit the market with 500 tons of naked shorts. Normally, a short is when an investor thinks the price of a stock or commodity is going to fall. He wants to sell the item in advance of the fall, pocket the money, and then buy the item back after it falls in price, thus making money on the short sale. If he doesnt have the item, he borrows it from someone who does, putting up cash collateral equal to the current market price. Then he sells the item, waits for it to fall in price, buys it back at the lower price and returns it to the owner who returns his collateral. If enough shorts are sold, the result can be to drive down the market price. As Dr. Roberts noted, this represents an absolutely massive amount of gold... Consider the 500 tons of paper gold sold on Friday. Begin with the question, how many ounces is 500 tons? There are 2,000 pounds to one ton. 500 tons equal 1,000,000 pounds. There are 16 ounces to one pound, which comes to 16 million ounces of short sales on Friday. Who has 16 million ounces of gold? At the beginning gold price that day of about $1,550, that comes to $24,800,000,000. Who has that kind of money? A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE NEED TO BE CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATED. Meanwhile, many are considering this takedown of gold to be an ominous sign that another major financial crisis may be heading our way. Just remember what happened back in 2008.  As Zero Hedge noted on Monday, the price of gold suddenly plunged 21 percent in July 2008.  That was just a couple of months before the U.S. stock market crashed in the fall...

 

 

El-Erian's Summary: "Virtually Every Market Is Trading At Very Artificial Levels""In order for central banks to achieve their ultimate economic objective - which is growth and jobs - they have to push investors into taking more risk than is justified," is the somewhat chilling warning that PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian gives in this excellent interview with the WSJ. "Central banks are operating through the wealth effect and animal spirits," El-Erian says peeling back the truth onion, as they prop up asset prices to "artificial levels, in virtually every market." Worries over the central bankers of the world withdrawing easy money policies too early are "unwarranted," he notes, adding that he suspects, "they will most likely stay too long and they will consciously make that mistake." Critically, though, he sends a message that appears to fit with many of our recent discussions (most recently here) that "if these levels arent validated by the fundamentals, then investors will get hurt."

I want to know what wars farrell’s fought in, or how many of his own children have died in same. I’m staunchly against communism which I’ve made no secret; but if farrell’s specious reasoning was correct (it’s not, economically and otherwise, but quite Orwellian), I honestly would then say, ‘Let capitalism die’! }

5. Euro-zone unemployment came in at 12.1% in March.

6. April's HSBC China Composite PMI (which covers both manufacturing and services) declined to 51.1 from 53.5 in March, indicating the weakest rate of expansion since last October. Hong Kong's PMI also settled into contractionary territory at 49.9, down from 50.5 in March.

Despite all the bad economic news, Wall Street bears look positively cadaverous as financial markets levitate higher and seemingly disconnect from the real economy. This disconnect is generating an expanding discussion, and even a name, "The Great Disconnect," which has followed "The Great Recession," as Wall Street's fortunes look decidedly different from those on Main Street.

Everyone seems to be in agreement that the recent financial levitation has been generated by global central banks, and during his presentation at last week's 10th annual Strategic Investment Conference, presented by Altegris Investments and John Mauldin, Pimco's Mohamed El-Erian emphasized that investors must be ready for the "hand off" by central banks, when the era of assisted support gives way to the era of organic growth.

Even the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett, has joined the discussion by saying that when the Federal Reserve finally raises interest rates from their current near-zero level, it will be the "shot heard around the world".

As the discussion grows louder, the Federal Reserve seems to be coming under ever intensifying pressure, and that was in evidence last week when the Fed announced that it would continue its bond-buying program. known as quantitative easing. Longtime Fed critic Ron Paul emphasized that the program works only to the advantage of big bankers and politicians, while hurting middle-class and impoverished Americans. Warren Buffett echoed a similar theme when he pointed out — at Berkshire Hathaway's BRK.A +0.96% annual shareholders' meeting in Nebraska — that the Fed's quantitative easing program has made life difficult for people who live on fixed-income investments…’   {  Modern 1920’s redux … all we need are ‘flappers’!  }

 

 

The Price Of Copper And 11 Other Recession Indicators That Are Flashing Red There are a dozen significant economic indicators that are warning that the U.S. economy is heading into a recession.  The Dow may have soared past the 15,000 mark, but the economic fundamentals are telling an entirely different story.  If historical patterns hold up, the economy is heading for a very rocky stretch. But most average Americans are not that concerned with the performance of the stock market.  They just want to be able to go to work, pay the bills and provide for their families.  During the last recession, millions of Americans lost their jobs and millions of Americans lost their homes.  If we have another major recession, that will happen again.  Sadly, it appears that another major recession is quickly approaching. The following are 12 recession indicators that are flashing red...  http://albertpeia.com/recessionindicatorsflashingred.htm  {  Modern 1920s redux all we need are flappers!  }

 

 

This Is What Happens As America Converts Into A Nation Of Renters Wall Street got into the single-family home business about a year ago. The win-win idea is to buy and rent until prices increase enough to make selling profitable. Investors can improve neighborhoods by fixing up vacant or damaged properties and providing lower-cost housing to people who are recovering from a foreclosure. But, as The Sacramento Bee reports, a responsible landlord is not guaranteed, and while no one is bashing renters, experts say it is human nature to care more for where you live when you own. The idea of a long-term home means more attention is paid to its upkeep and more consideration is given to neighbors, but "renters can change the culture of a neighborhood. In West Palm Beach, FL (where landlords are required to get licenses), applications are up from 296 in 2011 to 399 last year with one entity owning 150 'unregistered' homes: "it's a free-for-all, there's no such thing as a community anymore."

 

Biderman Bashes Buffett's Biased Bearish Bond BanalitiesThe mainstream media was cock-a-hoop to use Warren Buffett's recent diatribe against being a bond buyer (because prices are artificially high due to the Fed creating phony money and at some point the Fed will stop) as more evidence that stocks are the only game in town. TrimTabs' CEO Charles Biderman questions Buffett's seemingly disingenuous one-sided perspective - "stocks are just as vulnerable as bonds to the Fed withdrawing the narcotic known as free money, why does Mr. Buffett say stock prices are reasonable? To me, logic says stocks are just as overpriced as bonds." Biderman's point is that one cannot look at one market without implications for the other, and as we have noted numerous times, the only thing that matters is the flow (not the stock) of the balance sheet expansion. The Fed is buying up the entire US Government deficit and then some, Biderman explains, "that means there is lots of extra cash floating around the financial markets bidding up the prices of not just bonds but stocks as well;" so while we agree with Mr. Buffet that at some point bond prices have to drop significantly, so do stocks.

Fed's Fisher To Santelli: "This Can't Go On Forever"While notably 'not' the Fed's opinion, Dallas Fed head Richard Fisher provided more than a few compellingly truthy comments in this excellent discussion with CNBC's Rick Santelli. It is fiscal policy that is holding us back, he warns, "we have a massive fog here," and despite the extremely accommodation monetary policy, we are not seeing the transmission to job creation." The "conditions of total uncertainty," mean the politicians are holding us back; but it is when Santelli asks him about the Fed's exit that things get a little uncomfortable, "no central bank anywhere on the planet has the experience of successfully navigating a return home from the place in which we now find ourselves." When pressed he exposes the flaw (much to the chagrin of Kuroda and Bernanke we suspect), "somewhere we have to have practical limits as to where we can build the balance sheet. We're moving in the direction of a $4 trillion balance sheet. We know we can't go on forever."

 

JPM Eligible Vault Gold Drops To Fresh RecordTwo weeks ago we reported about one of the biggest daily withdrawals of eligible gold from the JPM gold vault, it not on an absolute basis, then certainly on a relative, when in one day over 260k ounces of gold were withdrawn, leaving a record low 141.6k ounces, or just over 4 tons of gold in the vault. Subsequently, we tracked the daily additions and withdrawals of gold from the vault to see if any other major withdrawal request would come, instead discovering instance after instance of JPM reclassifying Registered gold into Eligible, which is how the vault saw its eligible inventory rish back to 195K ounces as of yesterday, without any actual net additions or more importantly withdrawals. It seems the pause of withdrawals has ended, and as of yesterday, another delivery led to a withdrawal of 53,658 ounces, or 28.5% of the total, leaving a fresh record low inventory of only 137,377 eligible ounces in the vault.

 

JP Morgan Has Zero Trading Losses In The First QuarterEarlier it was Bank of America reporting a perfect trading quarter, with profitability on 60 out of 60 trading days, and now it is JPMorgan's turn. Moments ago, Jamie Dimon's firm filed a 10Q in which, among other things, it announced than in the quarter ended March 31, it was profitable on 63 out of 63 trading days and had one day in which it gained more than $200 million, or said simply another case of trading perfection unmatched anywhere in the known universe except perhaps by sellers of newsletters on Twitter. It was not immediately clear why JPM got a freebie of three extra profitable trading days in the quarter compared to BofA, although we suspect Jamie Dimon's presidential cufflinks may have something to do with it. What is clear is that the probability of one firm trading without error for an entire quarter, let alone two (and soon more as other banks file their 10-Qs) is slim to quite slim. Although not nearly as slim as whoever the hot chick is on Dancing with the Stars this season, which we are confident is the only thing the bulk of the population cares about. For everyone else, there's E(rror free)-trade.

 

Elon Musk's SolarCity Sues Government For More SubsidiesWhen you donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to re-election campaigns and push more hundreds of thousands of dollars through lobbying, you expect a little more back than the measly $95.6 million that SolarCity received in stimulus grants. The company, chaired by none other than Elon Musk, had applied for $325 million in federal aid in the same program that 'helped' Solyndra (and Tesla) and is now, according to the Wall Street Journal, suing the government for underpayment of green-energy subsidies. It seems SolarCity are using the M.A.D. defense, claiming that "they could lose millions more," if the government fails to provide the subsidies they asked for. As National Review details, SolarCity is one of the solar companies that is being investigated by the IRS after Treasury found that it "repeatedly overstated the value of its investments." So far the Treasury has paid out over $17 billion in green-energy stimulus grants and this case is not without precedent as a number of other renewable-energy firms are set to file suit.

 

Another Day, Another Record High CloseFrom the November lows, the S&P 500 has gained an impressive 21.5%. This is at an annualized rate of over 50% with 4 very modest 'dips' that have been snapped up by those that should know better. The Dow topped 15,100 - yay! Until the last hour of the day, VIX was very much not in agreement with the exuberance in stocks but the mid-afternoon swoon in stocks (Druckenmiller?) that corrected futures to VWAP was just what was needed to spark some furious volatility selling euphoria and crush VIX back to its lows of the day. Despite the equity excitement, 'most shorted' names actually underperformed (for once) but every effort at selling was met with a squeeze (especially into the close). Treasuries ended lower in yield for the second day in a row with stocks higher. Credit markets remain under-impressed for the second-day with IG and HY both wider on the day. Commodities generally improved on the day (with Copper's early euphoria fading as the day went on) as the USD leaked lower (with everything stronger against it aside from AUD). Today was the highest average trade size in S&P futures of the year (on sub-average volume).

Quiet Overnight Session Punctuated By Made Up Chinese, Stronger Than Expected German DataThe overnight economic data dump started in China, where both exports and imports rose more than expected, at 14.7% and 16.8% respectively, on expectations of a 9.2% and 13% rise. The result was a trade surplus of $18.16 billion versus expectations of $16.15 billion. The only problem with the data is that as always, but especially in the past few months, it continued to be completely made up as SocGen analysts, and others, pointed out. The good data continued into the European trading session, where moments ago German Industrial Production rose 1.2% despite expectations of a -0.1% drop, up from 0.6% and the best print since March 2012. The followed yesterday's better than expected factory orders data, which also came at the best level since October. Whether this data too was made up, remains unknown, but it is clear that Germany will do everything it can to telegraph its economic contraction is not accelerating. It also means that any concerns of an imminent ECB rate cut, or a negative deposit rate, are likely overblown for the time being, as reflected in the kneejerk jump in the EURUSD higher.

The Financial Press: A Disinformation Machine   Paul Craig Roberts | Let’s take a walk through the BLS report and you can arrive at your own conclusion.   { All bad news and these ever more worthless commissioned-paper (actually not even) shares at lightning computerized speed are rallying … just like zimbawee (the best performing stock-market of the decade past) … and just like zimbabwee, they’re all a bunch of niggers on wall street (their QE welfare everyone’s paying for included) … no wonder this country’s done/in protracted decline! This is an all too familiar scam that as before, everyone is and will be paying for. How does it feel to be dumb! [Parenthetically, just this moment, an ‘equities expert’ (on one of those syndicated business programs, NBR-just bought out by cnbc which means they just got a lot dumber and I had to turn it off and will never watch NBR again…nbc is a horrible propaganda network (finishing deservingly last among the so-called ‘majors’), mobsters like trump on that ‘apprentice thing’ with toothy nutcases like gary busey, etc.. ‘No credibility whatsoever and a total joke!) said house prices (as well as the ‘paper shares’, gas, oil, food staples, meat, etc.) are rising (duh! … contraindicated implication-‘happy days are here again’)… riiiiight … just like zimbabwee! How pathetic! ]
Goldman 'Explains' The 'Market': "Best Not To Look A Gift-Horse In The Mouth" ZH { Riiiiight! Sounds like a plan! The ‘gift-horse’ that’s … not a gift-horse at all … You’re paying through your nose and teeth. It was amusing to see mainstream media puzzling over the record high gas prices so early in this time of year, and as well, the coming jump in beef prices. There’s no mystery here! This is the natural and inevitable concomitant to ‘printing presses gone wild’. Not printing presses for product for intellectual consumption; but rather, printing presses (whether by print or computer ledger entry) for those ever more worthless paper fiat dollars backed by nothing but insurmountable debt of a defacto bankrupt nation. Remember: There’s no free lunch … fraudulent wall street’s predictable/intended gain (from QE, currency debasement, etc.) is your substantial pain! It’s the zimbabwee financial model gone american …  ,   Kyle Bass Tells 'Nominal' Stock Market Cheerleaders: Remember Zimbabwe
Amid the euphoria of today's crossing of the Dow's Maginot Line at 14,000, Kyle Bass provided a few minutes of sanity this morning in an interview with CNBC's Gary Kaminsky. Bass starts by reflecting on the ongoing (and escalating) money-printing (or balance sheet expansion as we noted here) as the driver of stock movements currently and would not be surprised to see them move higher still (given the ongoing printing expected). However, he caveats that nominally bullish statement with a critical point, "Zimbabwe's stock market was the best performer this decade - but your entire portfolio now buys you 3 eggs" as purchasing power is crushed. Investors, he says, are "too focused on nominal prices" as the rate of growth of the monetary base is destroying true wealth. Bass is convinced that cost-push inflation is coming (as the velocity of money will move once psychology shifts) and investors must not take their eye off the insidious nature of underlying inflation - no matter what we are told by the government (as they will always lie when its critical)…”  ,  Post-Hyperinflationary Zimbabwe Welcomes The Holidays With 80% Unemployment, Empty ATMs And Paralyzed Transport  { Just another typical nigger! Speaking of niggers, if wobama is given the opportunity as he has thus far, he’ll tread the same path as fellow nigger mugabe. } … Zimbabweans are facing bleak holidays this year amid rising poverty, food and cash shortages and political uncertainty, with some describing it as the worst since the formation of the coalition government in the southern African nation.... Banks have closed, ATMs have run out of cash and transport services have been paralyzed." It gets worse: "Zimbabwe's unemployment is pegged at around 80 percent with many people in Harare, the capital, eking out a living by selling vegetables and fruits on street corners." And all of this is after the massive economic imbalances in Zimbabwe's economy should have been "fixed" (or so conventional economic theory would have one believe) courtesy of hyperinflation, which left any savers in tatters, destroyed the value of the old currency, benefited solely debtors  but also allowed a fresh start to a government, which could only remain in power due to a violent power grab by the democratically elected-turned-dictator Robert Mugabe.  }

The same applies to most market forecasts. With some rare exceptions (like our commodity analysts? recent prescient call for a slump in the gold price), analysts don?t like to stand out from the crowd. It is dangerous and career-challenging.

The Takedown Of Gold A Sign That The Entire Global Financial System Is About To Crash ?

http://albertpeia.com/globalfinancialsystemcrash.htm

 

‘…So who is behind all of this orchestration?  Well, according to Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, it is actually the Federal Reserve... The Federal Reserve began its April Fools assault on gold by sending the word to brokerage houses, which quickly went out to clients, that hedge funds and other large investors were going to unload their gold positions and that clients should get out of the precious metal market prior to these sales. As this inside information was the governments own strategy, individuals cannot be prosecuted for acting on it. By this operation, the Federal Reserve, a totally corrupt entity, was able to combine individual flight with institutional flight. Bullion prices took a big hit, and bullishness departed from the gold and silver markets. The flow of dollars into bullion, which threatened to become a torrent, was stopped. In fact, Dr. Roberts says that former Goldman Sachs trader Andrew Maguire is reporting that the Fed orchestrated the dumping of 500 tons of naked gold shorts into the market on Friday... According to Andrew Maguire, on Friday, April 12, the Feds agents hit the market with 500 tons of naked shorts. Normally, a short is when an investor thinks the price of a stock or commodity is going to fall. He wants to sell the item in advance of the fall, pocket the money, and then buy the item back after it falls in price, thus making money on the short sale. If he doesnt have the item, he borrows it from someone who does, putting up cash collateral equal to the current market price. Then he sells the item, waits for it to fall in price, buys it back at the lower price and returns it to the owner who returns his collateral. If enough shorts are sold, the result can be to drive down the market price. As Dr. Roberts noted, this represents an absolutely massive amount of gold... Consider the 500 tons of paper gold sold on Friday. Begin with the question, how many ounces is 500 tons? There are 2,000 pounds to one ton. 500 tons equal 1,000,000 pounds. There are 16 ounces to one pound, which comes to 16 million ounces of short sales on Friday. Who has 16 million ounces of gold? At the beginning gold price that day of about $1,550, that comes to $24,800,000,000. Who has that kind of money? A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE NEED TO BE CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATED. Meanwhile, many are considering this takedown of gold to be an ominous sign that another major financial crisis may be heading our way. Just remember what happened back in 2008.  As Zero Hedge noted on Monday, the price of gold suddenly plunged 21 percent in July 2008.  That was just a couple of months before the U.S. stock market crashed in the fall...

 

 

El-Erian's Summary: "Virtually Every Market Is Trading At Very Artificial Levels""In order for central banks to achieve their ultimate economic objective - which is growth and jobs - they have to push investors into taking more risk than is justified," is the somewhat chilling warning that PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian gives in this excellent interview with the WSJ. "Central banks are operating through the wealth effect and animal spirits," El-Erian says peeling back the truth onion, as they prop up asset prices to "artificial levels, in virtually every market." Worries over the central bankers of the world withdrawing easy money policies too early are "unwarranted," he notes, adding that he suspects, "they will most likely stay too long and they will consciously make that mistake." Critically, though, he sends a message that appears to fit with many of our recent discussions (most recently here) that "if these levels arent validated by the fundamentals, then investors will get hurt."

Jeremy Grantham: "We Have Been Conned" The lessons of Jeremy Grantham's recent interview with Charlie Rose seem to be becoming increasingly prescient as the stock market surges to new highs amid a crumbling macro (and micro) economy. "Bernanke is whipping the economic donkey that can only grow at 1-2% as if it was a race horse growing above 3%," and unfortunately he will keep doing it "until the donkey is dead." As Grantham says, it is a "very dangerous situation to have the most powerful man in the world," doing this as simply put, the Fed, "does not have the tools to generate employment." But while Grantham's clarity on Bernanke's actions are unquestionable in their endgame, his views (below) on Keynes, debt, and wealth transfer are even more concerning. "We had this amazing experiment... but we have been conned into believing by the financial world that debt is everything."

 

FOMO Is The New POMOBy now everyone knows that POMO is the daily physical manifestation of the Fed's love for the "1%", and the trillions in underfunded pension and stock-linked entitlements, taking place (almost) every day in the hours between 10:15am and 11:00 am Eastern, when the NY Fed's trading desk injects between $1 and $6 billion in the stock market. What many may not know is that while POMO was the name of the game since 2009 (just think where the S&P would be if the "market" was only open on Thursday, during the 45 minute duration of POMO, and between 3:30 pm and 4:15 pm), it may have finally met its homophonous match, courtesy of Citigroup. So step aside POMO. Presenting.... FOMO, or Fear Of Missing Out.

11 Reasons Why The Federal Reserve Should Be AbolishedIf the American people truly understood how the Federal Reserve system works and what it has done to us, they would be screaming for it to be abolished immediately.  It is a system that was designed by international bankers for the benefit of international bankers, and it is systematically impoverishing the American people. The Federal Reserve system is the primary reason why our currency has declined in value by well over 95 percent and our national debt has gotten more than 5000 times larger over the past 100 years. The Fed creates our "booms" and our "busts", and they have done an absolutely miserable job of managing our economy. So why is the Federal Reserve doing it?  Sadly, this is the way it works all over the globe today.  In fact, all 187 nations that belong to the IMF have a central bank.  But the truth is that there are much better alternatives.

 

Guest Post: Was Israels Attack Against Syria Really An Attack Against Iran?Over the weekend Israel carried out two air strikes against Syrian positions within 48 hours. Iran is a strong supporter of Assads regime in Syria, and is deeply involved in the efforts to repel the rebel forces. Israel has long voiced its desires to attack Iran in order to force them to end their nuclear program before they achieve the capability to create nuclear weapons. This attack against Syria could be viewed as an indirect attack on Iran. "Israel is taking a calculated risk that Assad, Iran and Hezbollah are right now fighting a war against the Syrian rebels and probably dont want to open up a second front against a far more formidable enemy."

 

Americans Convinced Gun Homicides Soar Despite Actual Plunge In Gun CrimesIn yet another example of the massive gap between the American people's perception of what is going on around them (whether by propaganda channels or simply cognitive bias) and the actual reality, Reuters reports that while gun-related homicides are down 39% from the 1993 peak, only 12% of people believe that gun crimes have fallen. Non-fatal firearm crimes declined by 69% to 467,300 in the same period but 56% of Americans believe that gun crime is higher now than it was 20 years ago, the Pew Research Center said its poll showed. The dichotomy between record food stamp usage (and non-employment) and multi-year highs in consumer sentiment comes to mind - we wonder which is more 'real'.

 

Extreme Complacency Trumps Macro's Biggest 5-Week Plunge In Two YearsOf course, it doesn't matter (for now) but today's JOLTS data internals and Consumer Credit's miss just piled on to the misery and pushed Bloomberg's US Macro Surprise Index to its lowest in seven months. What is worse is the rate of collapse - the last five weeks have dropped faster than at any time since May 2011. The current level of US macro data suggests the S&P should be over 200 points lower - but as the charts below show relative volatility levels are more complacent now than in the pre-crisis vinegar strokes in 2008.

 

Guest Post: Debunking The Keynesian Policy Framework: The Myth Of The Magic PendulumThe policy approach that no one dares to question - "In the long-term, we need to fix our public finances. Were on an unsustainable path that needs to be corrected to protect younger and future generations. But in the short-term, we need to focus on growth. The economy stinks and people are suffering. Any attempt to lower debt in these conditions would be folly. On the contrary, the government needs to provide more stimulus to promote growth" has no support to its key premise in business cycle history, the idea that the economy will return to full employment and stick there, allowing ample time for debt reduction. Once stimulus is removed, expansions often struggle to continue for much longer. And if the stimulus is replaced with restraint, it seems logical that the expansions expected life shortens further. In other words, there is no Magic Pendulum. Whats the typical life of an unassisted expansion? Based on the data presented here, Ill call it two years.

 

Generation J(obless): A Quarter Of The Planet's Youth Is Neither Working Nor StudyingWe recently discussed the 'dead-weight' problem of youth unemployment in developed economies. The Economist estimates that the world's population of NEETs (not in employment, education, or training) is a stunning 290 million - or around one-quarter of the world's youth. Sadly, many of the 'employed' young have only informal and intermittent jobs. In rich countries more than a third, on average, are on temporary contracts which make it hard to gain skills. Young people have long had a raw deal in the labour market. Why is this so important? A number of studies have found that people who begin their careers without work are likely to have lower wages and greater odds of future joblessness than those who dont. A wage penalty of up to 20%, lasting for around 20 years, is common. The scarring seems to worsen fast with the length of joblessness and is handed down to the next generation, too - leading to a vicious cycle that weighs on growth dramatically. With a stunning 71% now expecting to work in their 'retirement' in the US, it would seem the opportunity for the jobs and wealth transfer to the younger generation is being blocked by a generation hamstrung by an increasingly repressive Federal Reserve.

 

Lacy Hunt: Cyclical Hurdles For A Highly Over-Leveraged EconomyThe financial and other markets do not seem to reflect the reality of subdued growth is how Hoisington Investment's Lacy Hunt describes the current environment. Stock prices are high, or at least back to levels reached more than a decade ago, and bond yields contain a significant inflationary expectations premium. Stock and commodity prices have risen in concert with the announcement of QE1, QE2 and QE3. Theoretically, as well as from a long-term historical perspective, a mechanical link between an expansion of the Fed's balance sheet and these markets is lacking. It is possible to conclude, therefore, that psychology typical of irrational market behavior is at play. As Lance Roberts notes, Hunt suggests that when expectations shift from inflation to deflation, irrational behavior might adjust risk asset prices significantly. Such signs that a shift is beginning can be viewed in the commodity markets. "Debt is future consumption denied," and regardless of the current debate - Reinhart and Rogoff were right. Simply put, "the problems have not been solved, they have merely been contained."

 

The Reality-Is-Perception GapWith retail stocks surging on the back of the any-minute-now recovery (justified by the might of the Federal Reserve printing press), we thought it perhaps useful to consider just how great things are in the retail sales space. Given the non-stop accelerating rise in the equity prices, retail sales must be accelerating or must have turned up green-shoot-like? Well not so much. As the following chart shows, while retail sales (ex-food) is still rising modestly YoY, it is doing so a decelerating pace (as income growth stagnates and discretionary income slumps). But for now, all we must believe is the market knows best (until, 2008-like) it doesn't.

 

A Hard Look At EuropeIn the beginning there were a handful of core nations equal in partnership and full of the excitement of a new venture. Much of the esprit was a desire to band together and compete against the United States for economic dominance and world power. Now we find the EU headquarters no longer staffed by equals but a useful front for Berlin which resides in another country. This point is critically important to understand. Yes, sure, the Germans will smile and nod and give way on agricultural supplements and on fishing rights and trivial matters but when it gets down to it and the decision is important; Berlin will have its way. The fact that the equity markets have done fabulously and that the interest rates for European sovereign debt have done remarkably well all rest on one thing and one thing only; the creation of money and a massive amount of it. Europe, and the rest of the world for that matter, has been transformed by the printing of money. The dislocation between economies and markets is huge and the glue is the twenty-four seven machinations of the printing presses. Politicians in Europe and America have taken a back seat to the heads of the world's central banks. Lastly, as I stare out at the horizon, you should understand the German viewpoint of the State. You win by being in control and control must always be exercised and never relinquished.

 

French Industrial Production Confirms Hollande's Triple-Dip FearsFrench industrial production came in considerably lower than expected overnight. France's output fell 2.5% YoY against an expectation of a mere 1.4% drop and manufacturing production dropped 4.9% YoY - almost its worst since the crisis. This data confirms what we have discussed in detail (here and here) that France is heading for a depression. After the briefest of renaissances in Q3 2012, the Gallic nation now looks set for a triple-dip recession, further stretching the core of an already tense European Union. The last few days have seen 10Y French debt yields increase a little (+17bps off the lows) but they remain (much as the rest of Europe) near record lows.

 

No Recovery Here Either: Home Renovation Spending Plummets To 2010 LevelsOne of the widely accepted misconceptions surrounding the so-called "housing recovery" fanfared by misleading headlines such as this "Remodeling activity keeps up positive momentum", which in reality has merely turned out to be a housing bubble in various liquified "flip that house" MSAs (offset by continuing deteriorating conditions in those places where the Fed's trillions in excess reserves have trouble reaching coupled with ongoing foreclosure stuffing), is that "renovation spending", the amount of cash spent to upgrade and update a fixer-upper, has surged. Sadly, this is merely the latest lie about the US economy: as the attached chart showing renovation spending in the past 6 months, it has absolutely imploded, confirming that not only is a broad housing recovery a myth (instead of localized pockets of bubbly liquidity here and there), but that the US home-owning household is now more tapped out than at any time in the past two years.

The Financial Press: A Disinformation Machine   Paul Craig Roberts | Let’s take a walk through the BLS report and you can arrive at your own conclusion.   { All bad news and these ever more worthless commissioned-paper (actually not even) shares at lightning computerized speed are rallying … just like zimbawee (the best performing stock-market of the decade past) … and just like zimbabwee, they’re all a bunch of niggers on wall street (their QE welfare everyone’s paying for included) … no wonder this country’s done/in protracted decline! This is an all too familiar scam that as before, everyone is and will be paying for. How does it feel to be dumb! [Parenthetically, just this moment, an ‘equities expert’ (on one of those syndicated business programs, NBR-just bought out by cnbc which means they just got a lot dumber and I had to turn it off and will never watch NBR again…nbc is a horrible propaganda network (finishing deservingly last among the so-called ‘majors’), mobsters like trump on that ‘apprentice thing’ with toothy nutcases like gary busey, etc.. ‘No credibility whatsoever and a total joke!) said house prices (as well as the ‘paper shares’, gas, oil, food staples, meat, etc.) are rising (duh! … contraindicated implication-‘happy days are here again’)… riiiiight … just like zimbabwee! How pathetic! ]
Goldman 'Explains' The 'Market': "Best Not To Look A Gift-Horse In The Mouth" ZH { Riiiiight! Sounds like a plan! The ‘gift-horse’ that’s … not a gift-horse at all … You’re paying through your nose and teeth. It was amusing to see mainstream media puzzling over the record high gas prices so early in this time of year, and as well, the coming jump in beef prices. There’s no mystery here! This is the natural and inevitable concomitant to ‘printing presses gone wild’. Not printing presses for product for intellectual consumption; but rather, printing presses (whether by print or computer ledger entry) for those ever more worthless paper fiat dollars backed by nothing but insurmountable debt of a defacto bankrupt nation. Remember: There’s no free lunch … fraudulent wall street’s predictable/intended gain (from QE, currency debasement, etc.) is your substantial pain! It’s the zimbabwee financial model gone american …  ,   Kyle Bass Tells 'Nominal' Stock Market Cheerleaders: Remember Zimbabwe
Amid the euphoria of today's crossing of the Dow's Maginot Line at 14,000, Kyle Bass provided a few minutes of sanity this morning in an interview with CNBC's Gary Kaminsky. Bass starts by reflecting on the ongoing (and escalating) money-printing (or balance sheet expansion as we noted here) as the driver of stock movements currently and would not be surprised to see them move higher still (given the ongoing printing expected). However, he caveats that nominally bullish statement with a critical point, "Zimbabwe's stock market was the best performer this decade - but your entire portfolio now buys you 3 eggs" as purchasing power is crushed. Investors, he says, are "too focused on nominal prices" as the rate of growth of the monetary base is destroying true wealth. Bass is convinced that cost-push inflation is coming (as the velocity of money will move once psychology shifts) and investors must not take their eye off the insidious nature of underlying inflation - no matter what we are told by the government (as they will always lie when its critical)…”  ,  Post-Hyperinflationary Zimbabwe Welcomes The Holidays With 80% Unemployment, Empty ATMs And Paralyzed Transport  { Just another typical nigger! Speaking of niggers, if wobama is given the opportunity as he has thus far, he’ll tread the same path as fellow nigger mugabe. } … Zimbabweans are facing bleak holidays this year amid rising poverty, food and cash shortages and political uncertainty, with some describing it as the worst since the formation of the coalition government in the southern African nation.... Banks have closed, ATMs have run out of cash and transport services have been paralyzed." It gets worse: "Zimbabwe's unemployment is pegged at around 80 percent with many people in Harare, the capital, eking out a living by selling vegetables and fruits on street corners." And all of this is after the massive economic imbalances in Zimbabwe's economy should have been "fixed" (or so conventional economic theory would have one believe) courtesy of hyperinflation, which left any savers in tatters, destroyed the value of the old currency, benefited solely debtors  but also allowed a fresh start to a government, which could only remain in power due to a violent power grab by the democratically elected-turned-dictator Robert Mugabe.  }

She called it: The process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values, and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects. The same applies to most market forecasts. With some rare exceptions (like our commodity analysts? recent prescient call for a slump in the gold price), analysts don?t like to stand out from the crowd. It is dangerous and career-challenging. In that vein, we repeat our key forecasts of the S&P Composite to bottom around 450, accompanied by sub-1% US 10y yields and gold above $10,000."

The Takedown Of Gold A Sign That The Entire Global Financial System Is About To Crash ?

http://albertpeia.com/globalfinancialsystemcrash.htm

 

‘…So who is behind all of this orchestration?  Well, according to Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, it is actually the Federal Reserve... The Federal Reserve began its April Fools assault on gold by sending the word to brokerage houses, which quickly went out to clients, that hedge funds and other large investors were going to unload their gold positions and that clients should get out of the precious metal market prior to these sales. As this inside information was the governments own strategy, individuals cannot be prosecuted for acting on it. By this operation, the Federal Reserve, a totally corrupt entity, was able to combine individual flight with institutional flight. Bullion prices took a big hit, and bullishness departed from the gold and silver markets. The flow of dollars into bullion, which threatened to become a torrent, was stopped. In fact, Dr. Roberts says that former Goldman Sachs trader Andrew Maguire is reporting that the Fed orchestrated the dumping of 500 tons of naked gold shorts into the market on Friday... According to Andrew Maguire, on Friday, April 12, the Feds agents hit the market with 500 tons of naked shorts. Normally, a short is when an investor thinks the price of a stock or commodity is going to fall. He wants to sell the item in advance of the fall, pocket the money, and then buy the item back after it falls in price, thus making money on the short sale. If he doesnt have the item, he borrows it from someone who does, putting up cash collateral equal to the current market price. Then he sells the item, waits for it to fall in price, buys it back at the lower price and returns it to the owner who returns his collateral. If enough shorts are sold, the result can be to drive down the market price. As Dr. Roberts noted, this represents an absolutely massive amount of gold... Consider the 500 tons of paper gold sold on Friday. Begin with the question, how many ounces is 500 tons? There are 2,000 pounds to one ton. 500 tons equal 1,000,000 pounds. There are 16 ounces to one pound, which comes to 16 million ounces of short sales on Friday. Who has 16 million ounces of gold? At the beginning gold price that day of about $1,550, that comes to $24,800,000,000. Who has that kind of money? A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE NEED TO BE CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATED. Meanwhile, many are considering this takedown of gold to be an ominous sign that another major financial crisis may be heading our way. Just remember what happened back in 2008.  As Zero Hedge noted on Monday, the price of gold suddenly plunged 21 percent in July 2008.  That was just a couple of months before the U.S. stock market crashed in the fall...

 

 

El-Erian's Summary: "Virtually Every Market Is Trading At Very Artificial Levels""In order for central banks to achieve their ultimate economic objective - which is growth and jobs - they have to push investors into taking more risk than is justified," is the somewhat chilling warning that PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian gives in this excellent interview with the WSJ. "Central banks are operating through the wealth effect and animal spirits," El-Erian says peeling back the truth onion, as they prop up asset prices to "artificial levels, in virtually every market." Worries over the central bankers of the world withdrawing easy money policies too early are "unwarranted," he notes, adding that he suspects, "they will most likely stay too long and they will consciously make that mistake." Critically, though, he sends a message that appears to fit with many of our recent discussions (most recently here) that "if these levels arent validated by the fundamentals, then investors will get hurt."

Even if in jest, an exercise in sarcasm, or sophistry at its worst, such position is so absolutely uncivilized and in such poor taste and without any intellectual foundation that I must wonder how MarketWatch hasn’t really ‘watched’. I want to know what wars farrell’s fought in, or how many of his own children have died in same. I’m staunchly against communism which I’ve made no secret; but if farrell’s specious reasoning was correct (it’s not, economically and otherwise, but quite Orwellian), I honestly would then say, ‘Let capitalism die’! }

The Financial Press: A Disinformation Machine   Paul Craig Roberts | Let’s take a walk through the BLS report and you can arrive at your own conclusion.   { All bad news and these ever more worthless commissioned-paper (actually not even) shares at lightning computerized speed are rallying … just like zimbawee (the best performing stock-market of the decade past) … and just like zimbabwee, they’re all a bunch of niggers on wall street (their QE welfare everyone’s paying for included) … no wonder this country’s done/in protracted decline! This is an all too familiar scam that as before, everyone is and will be paying for. How does it feel to be dumb! [Parenthetically, just this moment, an ‘equities expert’ (on one of those syndicated business programs, NBR-just bought out by cnbc which means they just got a lot dumber and I had to turn it off and will never watch NBR again…nbc is a horrible propaganda network (finishing deservingly last among the so-called ‘majors’), mobsters like trump on that ‘apprentice thing’ with toothy nutcases like gary busey, etc.. ‘No credibility whatsoever and a total joke!) said house prices (as well as the ‘paper shares’, gas, oil, food staples, meat, etc.) are rising (duh! … contraindicated implication-‘happy days are here again’)… riiiiight … just like zimbabwee! How pathetic! ]
Goldman 'Explains' The 'Market': "Best Not To Look A Gift-Horse In The Mouth" ZH { Riiiiight! Sounds like a plan! The ‘gift-horse’ that’s … not a gift-horse at all … You’re paying through your nose and teeth. It was amusing to see mainstream media puzzling over the record high gas prices so early in this time of year, and as well, the coming jump in beef prices. There’s no mystery here! This is the natural and inevitable concomitant to ‘printing presses gone wild’. Not printing presses for product for intellectual consumption; but rather, printing presses (whether by print or computer ledger entry) for those ever more worthless paper fiat dollars backed by nothing but insurmountable debt of a defacto bankrupt nation. Remember: There’s no free lunch … fraudulent wall street’s predictable/intended gain (from QE, currency debasement, etc.) is your substantial pain! It’s the zimbabwee financial model gone american …  ,   Kyle Bass Tells 'Nominal' Stock Market Cheerleaders: Remember Zimbabwe
Amid the euphoria of today's crossing of the Dow's Maginot Line at 14,000, Kyle Bass provided a few minutes of sanity this morning in an interview with CNBC's Gary Kaminsky. Bass starts by reflecting on the ongoing (and escalating) money-printing (or balance sheet expansion as we noted here) as the driver of stock movements currently and would not be surprised to see them move higher still (given the ongoing printing expected). However, he caveats that nominally bullish statement with a critical point, "Zimbabwe's stock market was the best performer this decade - but your entire portfolio now buys you 3 eggs" as purchasing power is crushed. Investors, he says, are "too focused on nominal prices" as the rate of growth of the monetary base is destroying true wealth. Bass is convinced that cost-push inflation is coming (as the velocity of money will move once psychology shifts) and investors must not take their eye off the insidious nature of underlying inflation - no matter what we are told by the government (as they will always lie when its critical)…”  ,  Post-Hyperinflationary Zimbabwe Welcomes The Holidays With 80% Unemployment, Empty ATMs And Paralyzed Transport  { Just another typical nigger! Speaking of niggers, if wobama is given the opportunity as he has thus far, he’ll tread the same path as fellow nigger mugabe. } … Zimbabweans are facing bleak holidays this year amid rising poverty, food and cash shortages and political uncertainty, with some describing it as the worst since the formation of the coalition government in the southern African nation.... Banks have closed, ATMs have run out of cash and transport services have been paralyzed." It gets worse: "Zimbabwe's unemployment is pegged at around 80 percent with many people in Harare, the capital, eking out a living by selling vegetables and fruits on street corners." And all of this is after the massive economic imbalances in Zimbabwe's economy should have been "fixed" (or so conventional economic theory would have one believe) courtesy of hyperinflation, which left any savers in tatters, destroyed the value of the old currency, benefited solely debtors  but also allowed a fresh start to a government, which could only remain in power due to a violent power grab by the democratically elected-turned-dictator Robert Mugabe.  }

Flat In May, No Dismay The last few years have seen very similar trajectories in the first (and second) quarters of the year. Typically Q1 has been extremely bullish but has had a moment (or two) of doubt that caused weakness that inevitably bought. In fact, while many look on at 2013 as an outlier year (which it is over the entire quarter), since it's early March lows 2013 is lagging the performance of markets on average the last few years, even as Treasuries follow very similar seasonal paths. Over time, the sell-in-May-and-go-away' truism has become more pronounced (as we explained recently from a causation perspective) but the following chart shows that no matter how excited we were in each year in the first four months of the year, May (alone) has not been a good month...

 

David Rosenberg - The Potemkin Rally Gluskin Sheff's David Rosenberg exclaims we are currently are witnessing the Potemkin rally (the phrase Potemkin villages was originally used to describe a fake village, built only to impress). The term, however, is now used, typically in politics and economics, to describe any construction (literal or figurative) built solely to deceive others into thinking that some situation is better than it really is. Ben Bernanke, recently proclaimed The Hero by Atlantic Magazine, is the Wizard of Potemkin. Since 2009 Bernanke has engage in massive monetary experiments. These experiments lead to future dislocations. There is no doubt that the Fed wants inflation. The problem is they may get more than they ask for. We are currently witnessing the slowest economic recovery of any post-WWII period. However, It is important to challenge your thought process. Read material that challenges your views. Here are David's rules...

 

The Story Of Inequality In The US: Past, Present And Future In this far-reaching documentary, we are first treated to a history lesson from the early 80s to the present day - a story of lust, debt, and largesse; from Reagan deficits to cell phones to day trading to real estate... and then 2008 is explained (as reality started to peek through). The clip projects the next few years - from failed bond auctions to QE9 and social unrest - "but it doesn't have to be this way," the narrator notes. 'Breaking Inequality' is about the corruption between Washington and Wall Street that has resulted in the largest inequality gap in the history of America. It is a film that exposes the truth behind the single event that occurred back in the early 70's that set us off on this perilous journey that we are currently on. No country in the history of the world has ever remained a super power without a middle class and the road we are currently traveling doesn't include this all-important segment of the population. The old saying "As goes the middle class... so goes the nation" holds true even more today than ever.

 

Bright Lights, Big City, Bigger Prices - Where Inflation HidesSubdued headline inflation hides the inimitable rise of prices across the country; but ConvergEx's Nick Colas examines the pace of inflation in four large cities across the US Boston, Chicago, New York and San Francisco.  All are home to multitudes of urban working professionals, share the same currency and have similar macro economies, though, Colas notes, the trend of price increases varies considerably (particularly with regards to NYC vs. the rest).  The cost of living is up in all four cities since 2008.  Incomes, too, are generally higher although not in New York, likely a result of the Big Apples unique micro economy. Comparatively, New Yorkers have experienced the steepest price increases in transportation (higher cab and subway fares give this category a boost) and groceries, meanwhile rent, dinners out and cocktails continue to be more and more costly.  So what gives?  Rising inflation despite lower incomes?  The answer lies in the tug of war between less cash pay on Wall Street and a very active foreign investment market that is driving up real estate prices.

 

Apollo's Leon Black: The Smart Money Is "Selling Everything That Is Not Nailed Down" When a sell-side strategist says 'buying opportunity of a lifetime', we know there will be another right around the corner even if we rally 10%; when one of the largest buy-side firms believes "this is an almost biblical opportunity to reap gains and sell," we tend to listen. In this brief clip from last week's Milken Institute, Apollo Group's Leon Black says his firm has been a net seller for the last 15 months, and that they "are selling everything that is not nailed down." Critically lost in the mainstream media's diatribe is his point that as the markets push higher, juiced by the Fed's policies, his firm will be selling more and more into that and harvesting gains (realizing profits) as opposed to watching unrealized gains (and the mirage of a wealth effect). Apollo has had $13bn of 'realizations' in the last 15 months - the most ever - as he sees "the market is pricey... in our view, priced for perfection." We suspect perfection is far from what we achieve.

 

 

White House Says Ignore Facts, Assad "Likely" Behind Syrian Chemical Weapons After All When it comes to the deep hole of lies and inconsistencies that US foreign policy is vis-a-vis Syria, it has two options: stop digging or double down. Following the earlier report by the UN that outright rejected the full blown White House propaganda push to make it seem that it was Assad's regime that was using chemical weapons as a front to stage a military incursion against a very unappealing despot, that it was the Al-Qaeda assisted and potentially US-armed rebels who had in fact been using toxic sarin gas, there was some hope that the digging would stop. Instead, the doubling down began.

 

 

Russia, China Urge Respect Of Syrian Sovereignty As UN Finds Only Syrian Rebels Used Chemical Weapons Carla Del Ponte, a member of the UN independent commission of inquiry on Syria, said that testimony gathered from casualties and medical staff indicated that the nerve agent sarin gas was used by rebel fighters. "Our investigators have been in neighbouring countries interviewing victims, doctors and field hospitals and, according to their report of last week which I have seen, there are strong, concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof of the use of sarin gas, from the way the victims were treated," Ms Del Ponte said in an interview with Swiss-Italian television, broadcast on Sunday. "This was used on the part of the opposition, the rebels, not by the government authorities," she added, speaking in Italian. Ms Del Ponte added that the inquiry has yet to see any direct evidence suggesting that government forces have used chemical weapons, but said further investigation was required before this possibility could be ruled out. The new claims come one week after the United States said it had "varying degrees of confidence" that sarin had been used by Syria's government on its people.

RANsquawk - EU Market Re-Cap 6th May 2013

 

Visualizing The Triumph Of Hope Over Reality The Federal Reserve's extreme monetary policy has done nothing but repress 'safe' assets to the point of making 'risky' assets relatively cheap. This is of course not the case were you to isolate each risky or safe asset and consider its value standalone. Choosing stocks over bonds because "well, what is the alternative?" is akin to the red-pill/blue-pill choice from The Matrix and the reflationary 'normal' that we are supposed to believe in is what 'apparently' justifies a 1.7x rise (12%!) in multiples since QE4EVA was announced. During that same period, consensus earnings expectations have plunged (merely pushed out one more year for the renaissance) and global trade and growth has collapsed. However, while we have shown many divergences from reality in the past, it is the manic/depressive difference between inflation expectations and stock valuations (implicitly supported by reflation) that is the clearest example of the short-term triumph of hope over reality.

 

Turning A Donkey Into A Butterfly The clear message from the doctors this week is that they plan to keep administering the pills, in larger quantities if necessary, until the donkey turns into a butterfly. Citi's Matt King reminds us though that they failed to mention the associated risk that the donkey dies of the side effects first (apart, that is, from Dr Osborne, who urged the other doctors to ignore any such possibility entirely). For investors, King notes the immediate implication is that the central banks would like the party in any and all risk assets to carry on. This raises the spectre of a rally back to 2007 valuations, made all the more dizzying this time by the lack of any accompanying justification in the state of the economy. And yet we have played this game before, and it does not end well. Ideally at some point the central banks realize that the donkey is just a donkey, realize that their sole focus on their inflationary (& employment) mandate is blinding them to the risks of asset price inflation. To paraphrase a certain former CEO, when the central bank music is playing, investors are compelled to get up and join the party. Yet we know how that one ends...

 

Ron Paul: "This Is A House Of Cards" Last week at its regular policy-setting meeting, the Federal Reserve affirmed that it is prepared to increase its monthly purchases of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities if things dont start looking up. In all, the Fed has pumped more than a half trillion dollars into the economy since announcing its latest round of quantitative easing (QE3) in September 2012. With no recovery in sight, wheres all this money going? It is creating bubbles. Bubbles in the housing sector, the stock market, and government debt. In the meantime, real families are suffering. We are certainly not in a recovery. We dont see the long unemployment and soup kitchen lines like in the Great Depression, but thats just because the lines are electronic now. We know what the real solution is: allow the marketplace to work. Restore sound money to the economy and the American people. Sound money is the bedrock for prosperity and the best check on big government and crony capitalism.

She called it: The process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values, and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects. The same applies to most market forecasts. With some rare exceptions (like our commodity analysts? recent prescient call for a slump in the gold price), analysts don?t like to stand out from the crowd. It is dangerous and career-challenging. In that vein, we repeat our key forecasts of the S&P Composite to bottom around 450, accompanied by sub-1% US 10y yields and gold above $10,000."

The Takedown Of Gold A Sign That The Entire Global Financial System Is About To Crash ?

http://albertpeia.com/globalfinancialsystemcrash.htm

 

‘…So who is behind all of this orchestration?  Well, according to Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, it is actually the Federal Reserve... The Federal Reserve began its April Fools assault on gold by sending the word to brokerage houses, which quickly went out to clients, that hedge funds and other large investors were going to unload their gold positions and that clients should get out of the precious metal market prior to these sales. As this inside information was the governments own strategy, individuals cannot be prosecuted for acting on it. By this operation, the Federal Reserve, a totally corrupt entity, was able to combine individual flight with institutional flight. Bullion prices took a big hit, and bullishness departed from the gold and silver markets. The flow of dollars into bullion, which threatened to become a torrent, was stopped. In fact, Dr. Roberts says that former Goldman Sachs trader Andrew Maguire is reporting that the Fed orchestrated the dumping of 500 tons of naked gold shorts into the market on Friday... According to Andrew Maguire, on Friday, April 12, the Feds agents hit the market with 500 tons of naked shorts. Normally, a short is when an investor thinks the price of a stock or commodity is going to fall. He wants to sell the item in advance of the fall, pocket the money, and then buy the item back after it falls in price, thus making money on the short sale. If he doesnt have the item, he borrows it from someone who does, putting up cash collateral equal to the current market price. Then he sells the item, waits for it to fall in price, buys it back at the lower price and returns it to the owner who returns his collateral. If enough shorts are sold, the result can be to drive down the market price. As Dr. Roberts noted, this represents an absolutely massive amount of gold... Consider the 500 tons of paper gold sold on Friday. Begin with the question, how many ounces is 500 tons? There are 2,000 pounds to one ton. 500 tons equal 1,000,000 pounds. There are 16 ounces to one pound, which comes to 16 million ounces of short sales on Friday. Who has 16 million ounces of gold? At the beginning gold price that day of about $1,550, that comes to $24,800,000,000. Who has that kind of money? A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE NEED TO BE CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATED. Meanwhile, many are considering this takedown of gold to be an ominous sign that another major financial crisis may be heading our way. Just remember what happened back in 2008.  As Zero Hedge noted on Monday, the price of gold suddenly plunged 21 percent in July 2008.  That was just a couple of months before the U.S. stock market crashed in the fall...

 

 

El-Erian's Summary: "Virtually Every Market Is Trading At Very Artificial Levels""In order for central banks to achieve their ultimate economic objective - which is growth and jobs - they have to push investors into taking more risk than is justified," is the somewhat chilling warning that PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian gives in this excellent interview with the WSJ. "Central banks are operating through the wealth effect and animal spirits," El-Erian says peeling back the truth onion, as they prop up asset prices to "artificial levels, in virtually every market." Worries over the central bankers of the world withdrawing easy money policies too early are "unwarranted," he notes, adding that he suspects, "they will most likely stay too long and they will consciously make that mistake." Critically, though, he sends a message that appears to fit with many of our recent discussions (most recently here) that "if these levels arent validated by the fundamentals, then investors will get hurt."

Even if in jest, an exercise in sarcasm, or sophistry at its worst, such position is so absolutely uncivilized and in such poor taste and without any intellectual foundation that I must wonder how MarketWatch hasn’t really ‘watched’. I want to know what wars farrell’s fought in, or how many of his own children have died in same. I’m staunchly against communism which I’ve made no secret; but if farrell’s specious reasoning was correct (it’s not, economically and otherwise, but quite Orwellian), I honestly would then say, ‘Let capitalism die’! }

Marketwatch  You can't trust the media  It’s easy to get so caught up in media hype about investing and miss the bigger point, cautions Chuck Jaffe.

 

 

A Market "Based" On Monetary Surreality With macro data becoming worse and worse (more and more bullish for Fed free money) and stocks off to the races (despite earnings that are abysmal), we thought a litle reminder of just what is driving this un-reality in nominal price moves. As the following chart, inspired by UBS, shows, each time the S&P 500 shows any sign of weakness, US money grows dramatically (money defined as the sum of M2 and foreign custody repo-able holdings at the Fed). Simply put, this is the reaction function of the Bernanke Put and explains why any weakness in Europe causes problems for the US - as the foreign banks repatriate and impact this 'growth' support. Correlation is not causation, but it is a strong hint.

 

A. Gary Shilling - Six Realities In An Age Of Deleveraging A. Gary Shilling's discussion of how to invest during a deleveraging cycle is a very necessary antidote to the ecstacy and euphoria that surrounds the nominal surges in risk-assets around the world sponsored by central banking largesse. Shilling ties six fundamental realities together: Private Sector Deleveraging And Government Policy Responses, Rising Protectionism, the Grand Disconnect Between Markets And Economy, a Zeal For Yield, the End Of Export Driven Economies, and why Equities Are Vulnerable. The risk on trade is alive and well - but will not last forever. We are still within a secular bear market that begin in 2000 with P/E ratios still contained within a declining trend. Despite media commentary to the contrary - this time is likely not different.

 

"New Normal" Mungerisms: From Jews & Gold To Bankers & Heroin The bespectacled Robin to Buffet's Batman is at it again. After casting disparaging remarks about the hard-money fanatics of the world with his "only old jews like gold" comment last year, in a brief interview on CNBC today, Charlie Munger explained how "bankers should not be trusted" adding that "they are like heroin addicts." He was reflecting on the debacle that occurred in Cypriot banks of course - but his perspective is likely useful for a broader remit of investment professionals with endless fungible free money as their backstop. So that's the pair; hard- and soft-money partakers be damned. The irony of his firm reporting dramatically better-than-expected profits on the back of a surge in insurance-selling (not at all like CDS) is not lost on us.

 

Will JPMorgan's "Enron" Be The End Of Blythe Masters? One year after the infamous Jamie Dimon "tempest in a teapot" fiasco, which promptly turned out to be the biggest TBTF prop-trading desk debacle in history, things were going well for JPMorgan. On one hand, the chairman of the TBAC (and thus US Treasury advisor and policy administrator), and former LTCM trader, Matt Zames, was just recently promoted to the sole second in command post at the biggest US bank (and 2nd biggest in the world) by assets, and first in line to take over from Jamie Dimon. On the other hand, one of Mary Jo White's former co-workers, and a JPM defense attorney from Debevoise just became head of the SEC's enforcement division, in theory guaranteeing that the US government would never do more than slap the wrist of JPM in perpetuity. And then, when everything seemed like smooth sailing ahead, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) showed up on March 13, the day before Carl Levin's committee released its latest report on JPM's prop trading blunder, and according to the NYT, alleged that JPM in the past several years, quietly became nothing short than the next Enron. ... But what is worst for JPM, and its brilliant (abovementioned) employee, often times credited with creating the Credit Default Swap product and market (simply an instrument to trade credit with negligible upfront collateral and thus allow equity option-like speculation in the credit realm), is that FERC may be seeking to throw the book at none other than Blythe Masters.

 

"You've Reached Your Slice Limit Mayor Bloomberg" - The Food Police Meets The Pizza Nazi  After months of legislating soda sizes and steak rarenesses it seems the food police have finally met their match. As The Daily Currant "reports", in protest over the proposed soda ban in NY, the owners of Collegno's Pizzeria in Brooklyn refused to serve Mayor Michael Bloomberg a second slice of pizza during an informal lunch meeting. Ripped from the scripts of Seinfeld, or Pulp Fiction, or, appropriately enough, The Onion, when Bloomberg requested the second slice, the owner retorted, "I'm sorry sir, we can't do that. You've reached your personal slice limit." The exchange quickly escalated with the Mayor dropping f-bombs and the restaurant's owner climaxing with, "there's nothing I can do; maybe you could go to several restaurants and get one slice at each. At least that way you're walking. You know, burning calories." A fuming Bloomberg left the pizzeria and finished his meeting (and more pizza) at a rival restaurant.  { Yes! Apropos indeed! Bravo! I never would have dreamed that bloomberg would have become the failed mayor and ultimate embarrassment to new york that hes unequivocally become! }

 

The Monarchs Of Money The world's central banks have printed unimaginable amounts of money in recent years - "these guys are really more powerful than the government." Neil Macdonald explores what this means for the global economy and for your financial well-being - "can you imagine if the American public knew there was this 'club' that met secretly in Switzerland and made decisions that dramatically affected their lives, but we're not going to tell you about it because it's too complicated." This brief documentary should open a few eyes to the reality behind the world's most powerful (and real) cabal.

 

Guest Post: A Bubble In Safety Driven By Bond Funds? The pricing of 'safe' assets reflects the ongoing uncertainty in a world that is in the grip of the lunacy of policymakers who have seemingly lost all sense of perspective and are engaged in a huge gamble. This essential fundamental backdrop has not changed for the better lately, but for the worse. What this once again demonstrates is that intervention by central banks is creating incentives for many institutional investors to take inordinate risks in the name of preserving the purchasing power of the savings that have been entrusted to them. The problem is that the gains of today are absolutely certain to become the losses of tomorrow for investors taking the bait, as the echo bubble created by loose monetary policy is fated to turn into a major bust once the boom has played out. When the tide is going out, a great many naked swimmers will be revealed.

 

Elliott's Singer On Bernanke Destroying "The Value Of Money" And "Uprooting The Basic Stability Of Society" "We believe that the global central bankers, led by the Fed as thought leader, have no idea how much pain the worlds economy may endure when they begin the still-undetermined and never-before attempted process of ending this gigantic experimental policy. If they follow the paths of the worst central banks in history, they will adopt the tiger by the tail approach (keep printing even as inflation accelerates) and ultimately destroy the value of money and savings while uprooting the basic stability of their societies....  At some stage, central banks inevitably realize, regardless of whether they admit the catastrophic nature of their own failings, that the cessation of money-printing will cause an instant depression. Even though at that point the cessation of money-printing may be the only action capable of saving society, that becomes a secondary consideration compared to the desire to avoid immediate pain and blame."

 

Caption Contest: Iron Ben 1 With Iron Man 3 taking the theaters by storm this weekend, it is only appropriate that Iron Ben would make a cameo appearance now that the impregnable Dow crossed 15K, the S&P is over 1600, and pretty much everything is higher, literally and metaphorically, than it's ever been.

 

Are Stocks Still Cheap? According to the media hype, stocks are never expensive; but if you care a little about the actual price you are paying for stocks, perhaps the following two charts will at least raise a doubt about chasing this fun-and-games. The prospective P/E on both US and non-US equities are now at the top of the post crash range. Multiple-expansion has driven the rally in large part on the basis that central banks have removed the downside tail to investing but at these valuations (and with the expectations that are still priced in for H2 2013 earnings - up 14% vs up 4% in H1) surely caution is warranted.

 

The Week That Was: April 29th- May 3rd 2013 Succinctly summarizing the positive and negative news, data, and market events of the week...

 

Global Slowdown - 70% Of China's Export Partners Saw Orders Plunge We discussed previously the slowing of the global economy and the drag on global trade and it appears that despite some hope-ridden headline data from China, things are definitely troubling under the surface. As Bloomberg Brief's Michael McDonough notes, while superficially, export growth was a rare bright spot in the first quarter, it may have been exaggerated by exporters inflating invoices. Excluding exports to Hong Kong, March’s export growth would have fallen 4.8 percent year-on-year compared with the reported 10 percent. China’s exports to 14 of its top 20 trading partners declined in March year-on-year. Tepid global demand may continue to weigh on China’s exports and domestic economy - and in its vicious cycle manner, feed back into global growth (and stain the US 'clean' shirt).

 

 

 

Seth Klarman: "If The Economy Is So Fragile That Government Can't Allow Failure Then We Are Indeed Close To Collapse" Following today's flashback to the most euphoric and irrationally exuberant days of market peaks (and bubbles) gone by, driven entirely by the now constant central-planner dilution of current and future wealth, these selected excerpts from Seth Klarman's latest letter to investors is just the cold water of common sense everyone needs:"The average citizen knows that a society's wealth is not unlimited, and that if the economy is so fragile that the government cannot allow failure, then we are indeed close to collapse. For if you must rescue everything, then ultimately you will be able to rescue nothing. They also know that the only reason paper money, backed not by anything tangible but only a promise, has any value at all is because it is scarce. With all the printing, the credibility of our entire trust-based monetary system will be increasingly called into question. And when you tell the populace that we can all enjoy a free lunch of extremely low interest rates, massive Fed purchases of mounting treasury issuance, trillions of dollars of expansion in the Fed's balance sheet, and huge deficits far into the future, they are highly skeptical not because they know precisely what will happen but because they are sure that no one else--even, or perhaps especially, the  policymakers—does either."

 

 

 

Average Weekly Hours, The Law Of Large Numbers, And An April 618,000 Payroll... Decline? While everyone was focusing on the quantitative component of today's BLS number, it appears what was once again missed in all the noise was the mention of the quality aspects of today's BLS report: those parts which actually look at the quality of new jobs, not only their earnings power (which as we showed in the breakdown of the April job gains were all toward the lower paying spectrum of available jobs) but also taking productivity and labor demand into the picture. It is here that we find this month's biggest BLS report weakness, and surprising finding: an implied 618,000 worker decline?

 

Middle-Aged Suicide Rate Surges The suicide rate among middle-aged Americans climbed a startling 28% in the last decade as the rates in younger and older people held steady. This period dominated by two stock market crashes, a real-estate crash, and a hyper-repressive Fed saw a stunning 40% surge in the suicide rate among 35-64 year old white men and women (with non-Caucasian rates steady). 39 out of 50 states registered a statistically significant increase in suicide rates among the middle-aged. As AP reports, the CDC report contained surprising information about how middle-aged people kill themselves: During the period studied, hangings overtook drug overdoses in that age group, becoming the No. 2 manner of suicide. But guns remained far in the lead and were the instrument of death in nearly half of all suicides among the middle-aged. Today's payrolls data will do little to lift the spirits of the middle-aged worker; we live in cruel and unusual times.

 

Dow 15,000 Sure, why not...

 

Non-Manufacturing ISM, Factory Orders Both Miss Expectations, Drop To 2012 Levels And now for the glass half empty part. Following the better than expected jobs report, driven by women job additions and low-paying jobs, we got the non-manufacturing ISM and Factory Orders both of which missed expectations. The ISM dropped from 54.4 to 53.1, below expectations of 54.0, and the lowest since July 2012, with the employment number dropping from 53.3 to 52. Since this number focuses on services, one has trouble footing this with what the BLS said was a jump in jobs in Services sector but one can't have anything. Elsewhere, factory orders dropped 4%, down from a downward revised 1.9% (was +3%), and below expectations of -2.9%, with March durable goods revised even lower from -5.7% to -5.8%. This was the biggest Factory Goods drop since August 2012. Of course, as Joe LaVorgna just said on a TV, it is best to just "ignore" all data that is missing expectations, or not complying with the narrative.

 

Where The Jobs Were In April For those lucky enough to not be male and aged 25-54, and having been able to get a job in April, the following chart is redundant. For everyone else, curious which industries were adding jobs in April, here is the full breakdown. With the bulk of job additions in such "high paying" sectors as leisure and hospitality, temp help and retail, one can see why corporate revenues are going nowhere fast.

 

Short Squeeze Smashes S&P 500 Over 1615 There were signs of anxiety yesterday afternoon when the 'most shorted' names started to levitate but this morning's exuberance has crushed the shorts and provided the ammunition to take the cash S&P 500 index above not just 1600 but above 1615 (with the cash index somewhat unusually trading at a premium to the futures). Since Wednesday's close, the Russell is up around 2%, the 'Most Shorted' names are up a remarkable 3.8% in the same time.

 

Jobs Breakdown By Age And Gender, Or No Country For Prime-Aged, Male Workers On the surface, the April jobs number was better than expected: in the grand scheme of things, it kept in line with the growth of the overall US labor force (which grew by 210K per the household survey) - the bare minimum in needs to keep the unemployment rate in line. A quick look beneath the surface does reveal the usual question marks, however.

"As more and more people began to realize that increases in monetary base via QE during balance sheet recessions do not mean equivalent increases in money supply, the hype over QEs in the FX market is likely to calm down ...The only way quantitative easing can have a positive impact on economic activity is if the authorities purchase of assets from the private sector boosts asset prices, making people feel wealthier and thereby encouraging them to consume more.

She called it: The process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values, and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects. The same applies to most market forecasts. With some rare exceptions (like our commodity analysts? recent prescient call for a slump in the gold price), analysts don?t like to stand out from the crowd. It is dangerous and career-challenging. In that vein, we repeat our key forecasts of the S&P Composite to bottom around 450, accompanied by sub-1% US 10y yields and gold above $10,000."

The Takedown Of Gold A Sign That The Entire Global Financial System Is About To Crash ?

http://albertpeia.com/globalfinancialsystemcrash.htm

 

‘…So who is behind all of this orchestration?  Well, according to Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, it is actually the Federal Reserve... The Federal Reserve began its April Fools assault on gold by sending the word to brokerage houses, which quickly went out to clients, that hedge funds and other large investors were going to unload their gold positions and that clients should get out of the precious metal market prior to these sales. As this inside information was the governments own strategy, individuals cannot be prosecuted for acting on it. By this operation, the Federal Reserve, a totally corrupt entity, was able to combine individual flight with institutional flight. Bullion prices took a big hit, and bullishness departed from the gold and silver markets. The flow of dollars into bullion, which threatened to become a torrent, was stopped. In fact, Dr. Roberts says that former Goldman Sachs trader Andrew Maguire is reporting that the Fed orchestrated the dumping of 500 tons of naked gold shorts into the market on Friday... According to Andrew Maguire, on Friday, April 12, the Feds agents hit the market with 500 tons of naked shorts. Normally, a short is when an investor thinks the price of a stock or commodity is going to fall. He wants to sell the item in advance of the fall, pocket the money, and then buy the item back after it falls in price, thus making money on the short sale. If he doesnt have the item, he borrows it from someone who does, putting up cash collateral equal to the current market price. Then he sells the item, waits for it to fall in price, buys it back at the lower price and returns it to the owner who returns his collateral. If enough shorts are sold, the result can be to drive down the market price. As Dr. Roberts noted, this represents an absolutely massive amount of gold... Consider the 500 tons of paper gold sold on Friday. Begin with the question, how many ounces is 500 tons? There are 2,000 pounds to one ton. 500 tons equal 1,000,000 pounds. There are 16 ounces to one pound, which comes to 16 million ounces of short sales on Friday. Who has 16 million ounces of gold? At the beginning gold price that day of about $1,550, that comes to $24,800,000,000. Who has that kind of money? A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE NEED TO BE CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATED. Meanwhile, many are considering this takedown of gold to be an ominous sign that another major financial crisis may be heading our way. Just remember what happened back in 2008.  As Zero Hedge noted on Monday, the price of gold suddenly plunged 21 percent in July 2008.  That was just a couple of months before the U.S. stock market crashed in the fall...

 

 

El-Erian's Summary: "Virtually Every Market Is Trading At Very Artificial Levels""In order for central banks to achieve their ultimate economic objective - which is growth and jobs - they have to push investors into taking more risk than is justified," is the somewhat chilling warning that PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian gives in this excellent interview with the WSJ. "Central banks are operating through the wealth effect and animal spirits," El-Erian says peeling back the truth onion, as they prop up asset prices to "artificial levels, in virtually every market." Worries over the central bankers of the world withdrawing easy money policies too early are "unwarranted," he notes, adding that he suspects, "they will most likely stay too long and they will consciously make that mistake." Critically, though, he sends a message that appears to fit with many of our recent discussions (most recently here) that "if these levels arent validated by the fundamentals, then investors will get hurt."

 

MarketWatch Paul B.

Even if in jest, an exercise in sarcasm, or sophistry at its worst, such position is so absolutely uncivilized and in such poor taste and without any intellectual foundation that I must wonder how MarketWatch hasn’t really ‘watched’. I want to know what wars farrell’s fought in, or how many of his own children have died in same. I’m staunchly against communism which I’ve made no secret; but if farrell’s specious reasoning was correct (it’s not, economically and otherwise, but quite Orwellian), I honestly would then say, ‘Let capitalism die’! }

Ron Paul & Jim Rogers: "There's More Chaos To Come" Nations are going bust. And the worse things get, the more desperate their tactics become. This isn't the first time that the world has been in this position. This time is not different. History shows that there are serious, serious consequences to running unsustainably high debts and deficits. And those consequences have almost invariably involved pillaging people's wealth, savings, livelihoods and liberties... either directly or indirectly. What's happening right now is playing out in textbook fashion. More taxes, more debt, more printing, more confiscation, less freedom. Many people will resist the change and instead cling desperately to the old system - the cycle of debt and consumption that provided jobs, stability, and prosperity. These people will have their lives turned upside down because that system is gone forever. And in case it still weren't obvious, here is three minutes of clarity from Ron Paul and Jim Rogers..."I would expect that there is going to be a lot more chaos still to come." - Ron Paul; They wont take our bank accountsthey will take our retirement accounts. - Jim Rogers

 

The "Price" Of Record High Markets: $10 Trillion In Seven Years By now everyone, even CNBC, admits that the only reason stocks are where they are is due to the G-7 central banks. What many may not know, however, is how we got here, and where we will be at the end of this year. The answer, as provided by JPM Asset Management CIO Michael Cembalest in the chart below, is at the dot in the top right. This will represent the addition of $10 trillion in liquidity, or alternatively the conversion of the "planetary nebula" of central bank balance sheet expansion, in the past seven years. And considering that, as we explained yesterday, there is another $10-11 trillion in scarce "quality collateral" that has to be injected into the financial markets via central banks collateral transformations, the number in yet another 7 years will be at $20 trillion if not exponentially higher, or higher than where US GDP will be.

 

Bill Gross: "Don't Buy - Sell"

 

First Euphoria Then Reality One possibility for the markets to reverse has always been some grand event but another is just the economic deterioration that wears away at the markets as current levels cannot be rationally supported. It is not just the Law of Diminishing Returns which is coming into play as the central banks create more money but the effects on the consumer of seriously declining available cash to be used to purchase goods and services.  We have been subject to a massive amount of monetary printing and an unconscionable manipulation of data but the affects of reality cannot be ignored forever because reality forces the consequences as the fantasy gives way over time.



Initial Claims Lowest Since Jan 2008 Levels; Import Plunge Leads To Much Lower Trade Deficit Mission Accomplished it would seem. Initial claims printed at its lowest since January 2008 at 324k. This is well below expectations of 345k - the biggest beat since September 2011. California and New York dominated the data with over 70,000 claims between them (though both dropped from last week). Michigan added the most from last month's rolls with 'educational service indutrsy' job losses affecting MA, CT, and RI. Emergency Unemployment Claims appears to have shaken off its statistical aberration of 2013 and is down a modest 12k this week.

After all, it can contribute to GDP only by making those with assets feel wealthier and encouraging them to consume more." { Yet, their marginal probensity to consume is far lower than the non-wealthy, and the amount far less in absolute terms.}

 

Guest Post: Nicholas Taleb Against Establishment Economists What once used to be a field in which men of towering intellect tried to establish, discuss and lay down the tenets of what was widely considered an entirely new science as recently as the late 19th century, has become a field in which a great many rather mediocre intellectuals are mainly serving the interests of the State. Nassim Taleb recently too to task a number of the so-called mainstream economists - assessing and analyzing the flaws of modern policy-making and central economic planning as well as the fractionally reserved banking system. We wish him success in tackling the handmaidens of statism and their pseudo-scientific output. Anyone criticizing the producers of fig leaves for interventionism deserves our support. Of course, if an economist rejects interventionism and supports the establishment of an unhampered free market, then there is obviously no role for him as an 'economic planner' and 'adviser to policymakers' (except for advising them to stay the hell out of the economy and stop meddling with it).

Albert Edwards' Bleak Crystal Ball Reveals Gold Above $10,000; S&P At 450 ; And Sub-1% Bond Yields "The late Margaret Thatcher had a strong view about consensus. She called it: The process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values, and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects. The same applies to most market forecasts. With some rare exceptions (like our commodity analysts? recent prescient call for a slump in the gold price), analysts don?t like to stand out from the crowd. It is dangerous and career-challenging. In that vein, we repeat our key forecasts of the S&P Composite to bottom around 450, accompanied by sub-1% US 10y yields and gold above $10,000."

The Takedown Of Gold A Sign That The Entire Global Financial System Is About To Crash ?

http://albertpeia.com/globalfinancialsystemcrash.htm

 

‘…So who is behind all of this orchestration?  Well, according to Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, it is actually the Federal Reserve... The Federal Reserve began its April Fools assault on gold by sending the word to brokerage houses, which quickly went out to clients, that hedge funds and other large investors were going to unload their gold positions and that clients should get out of the precious metal market prior to these sales. As this inside information was the governments own strategy, individuals cannot be prosecuted for acting on it. By this operation, the Federal Reserve, a totally corrupt entity, was able to combine individual flight with institutional flight. Bullion prices took a big hit, and bullishness departed from the gold and silver markets. The flow of dollars into bullion, which threatened to become a torrent, was stopped. In fact, Dr. Roberts says that former Goldman Sachs trader Andrew Maguire is reporting that the Fed orchestrated the dumping of 500 tons of naked gold shorts into the market on Friday... According to Andrew Maguire, on Friday, April 12, the Feds agents hit the market with 500 tons of naked shorts. Normally, a short is when an investor thinks the price of a stock or commodity is going to fall. He wants to sell the item in advance of the fall, pocket the money, and then buy the item back after it falls in price, thus making money on the short sale. If he doesnt have the item, he borrows it from someone who does, putting up cash collateral equal to the current market price. Then he sells the item, waits for it to fall in price, buys it back at the lower price and returns it to the owner who returns his collateral. If enough shorts are sold, the result can be to drive down the market price. As Dr. Roberts noted, this represents an absolutely massive amount of gold... Consider the 500 tons of paper gold sold on Friday. Begin with the question, how many ounces is 500 tons? There are 2,000 pounds to one ton. 500 tons equal 1,000,000 pounds. There are 16 ounces to one pound, which comes to 16 million ounces of short sales on Friday. Who has 16 million ounces of gold? At the beginning gold price that day of about $1,550, that comes to $24,800,000,000. Who has that kind of money? A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE NEED TO BE CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATED. Meanwhile, many are considering this takedown of gold to be an ominous sign that another major financial crisis may be heading our way. Just remember what happened back in 2008.  As Zero Hedge noted on Monday, the price of gold suddenly plunged 21 percent in July 2008.  That was just a couple of months before the U.S. stock market crashed in the fall...

 

 

El-Erian's Summary: "Virtually Every Market Is Trading At Very Artificial Levels""In order for central banks to achieve their ultimate economic objective - which is growth and jobs - they have to push investors into taking more risk than is justified," is the somewhat chilling warning that PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian gives in this excellent interview with the WSJ. "Central banks are operating through the wealth effect and animal spirits," El-Erian says peeling back the truth onion, as they prop up asset prices to "artificial levels, in virtually every market." Worries over the central bankers of the world withdrawing easy money policies too early are "unwarranted," he notes, adding that he suspects, "they will most likely stay too long and they will consciously make that mistake." Critically, though, he sends a message that appears to fit with many of our recent discussions (most recently here) that "if these levels arent validated by the fundamentals, then investors will get hurt."

 

MarketWatch Paul B. Farrell  America needs a new war Commentary: Any one of these 10 flash points could trigger it, saving capitalism from itself. { I’m really disappointed by this article and will no longer follow or post links to farrell’s articles. Even if in jest, an exercise in sarcasm, or sophistry at its worst, such position is so absolutely uncivilized and in such poor taste and without any intellectual foundation that I must wonder how MarketWatch hasn’t really ‘watched’. I want to know what wars farrell’s fought in, or how many of his own children have died in same. I’m staunchly against communism which I’ve made no secret; but if farrell’s specious reasoning was correct (it’s not, economically and otherwise, but quite Orwellian), I honestly would then say, ‘Let capitalism die’! }

Manufacturing ISM Drops To Lowest Since December, Employment Slide Biggest Since 2008 Those expecting a complete collapse in the Manufacturing ISM, on par with yesterday's slide in the Chicago PMI, will have to wait some more before the complete devastation in the US manufacturing sector sends stocks into the stratosphere. Moments ago the ISM Manufacturing report for April was released, printing at a headline of 50.7, down from 51.3 and the lowest print since December 2012. The good news: it was still above 50 and beat expectations of a 50.6 print by the smallest amount possible. The bad news: it is sliding fast. The worst news: the Employment Indicator, which came at 50.2, down 4 on the month, was the lowest since November, tied with the biggest sequential drop since 2008 in absolute terms, and the biggest drop in percentage terms since the Great Financial Crisis. Judging by the stock market response, the news is not as bad as needed to send the S&P to over 1600, at least not just yet (but the biggest 3-month drop in construction spending in 26 months may be bad enough to get us there).

ADP Private Jobs Plunge, Miss; Fall For Fifth Month In A RowWith the March Payroll number printing at a miserable 88K compared to ADP's 158K print, it was only a matter of time before Mark Zandi, still furious from getting the news he won't be the next GSE Tzar, revised the last month's data to 131K as he just did. Concurrently he also announced that the just released April ADP was a huge miss to expectations of 150K, printing at just 119K, or a 31K miss. This was the 5th month in a row of declines excluding the small bounce in February data. It also means that the combined miss to expectations including March (original estimate +200K) and April (estimate 150K) is precisely 100K. This excludes whatever revisions ADP will do to the April number following the even bigger looming NFP miss. Manufacturing jobs? -10,000. Oh yes, anyone looking for seasonally unadjusted ADP data, good luck - keep on looking. In short: yet another atrocious economic data point which however may need the support of the equally horrible sub-49 Mfg ISM due out shortly to take out 1600 in the S&P. 

 

Bill Gross: "There Will Be Haircuts" The highlights from Bill Gross' monthly letter: "The past decade has proved that houses were merely homes and not ATM machines. They were not good as money. Likewise, the Feds modern day liquid wealth creations such as bonds and stocks may suffer a similar fate at a future bubbled price whether it be 1.50% for a 10-year Treasury or Dow 16,000.... if there are no spending cuts or asset price write-offs, then its hard to see how deficits and outstanding debt as a percentage of GDP can ever be reduced....  Current policies come with a cost even as they act to magically float asset prices higher, making many of them to appear good as money. And the take away: "PIMCOs advice is to continue to participate in an obviously central-bank-generated bubble but to gradually reduce risk positions in 2013 and perhaps beyond. While this Outlook has indeed claimed that Treasuries are money good but not good money, they are better than the alternative (cash) as long as central banks and dollar reserve countries (China, Japan) continue to participate....a bond and equity investor can choose to play with historically high risk to principal or quit the game and earn nothing."

 

Desperately Seeking $11.2 Trillion In Collateral, Or How "Modern Money" Really Works Over a year ago, we first explained what one of the key terminal problems affecting the modern financial system is: namely the increasing scarcity and disappearance of money-good assets ("safe" or otherwise) which due to the way "modern" finance is structured, where a set universe of assets forms what is known as "high-quality collateral" backstopping trillions of rehypothecated shadow liabilities all of which have negligible margin requirements (and thus provide virtually unlimited leverage) until times turn rough and there is a scramble for collateral, has become perhaps the most critical, and missing, lynchpin of financial stability. Not surprisingly, recent attempts to replenish assets (read collateral) backing shadow money, most recently via attempted Basel III regulations, failed miserably as it became clear it would be impossible to procure the just $1-$2.5 trillion in collateral needed according to regulatory requirements. The reason why this is a big problem is that as the Matt Zames-headed Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee (TBAC) showed today as part of the appendix to the quarterly refunding presentation, total demand for "High Qualty Collateral" (HQC) would and could be as high as $11.2 trillion under stressed market conditions.

 

JCPenney: We Are Very, Very Sorry So Please Come Back And, Like, Buy Our Stuff

 

And For Its Next Trick, JPMorgan Takes Over The SEC JPM wasn't satisfied with demonstrating its implicit control over the US bond issuing authority by promoting Matt Zames to the post of COO, the same Matt Zames who courtesy of his Chairmanship of the TBAC, also effectively runs the US Treasury where he "advises" the brand new Treasury Secretary who has no idea what he is doing. Oh no. Just to cover all its bases, Jamie Dimon's firm decided to also take over the SEC as well.

 

Hank Paulson Burned As Another Electric Car Maker Goes Up In Flames It would appear that (apart from Tesla, for now) that any thing related to electric cars is going up in flames. From Fisker's fubar (and blowing all that hard-earned government funding) and Chevy's Volt dysphoria to A-123 Systems (the Lithium-Ion battery-maker) and now Coda - which Yahoo Finance notes was among an emerging crop of California startups seeking to build emission-free electric cars three years ago. After selling just 100 of its $37,250 five-passenger vehicles, Coda filed Chapter 11 today taking a few well-known investors with it. On the bright side, the government was not involved (from what we can tell), but on the even brighter side, none other than former US Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson was among those burned by the company going up in flames (as was Harbinger's Phil Falcone).

 

Feedback Loops And The Unsustainability Of China's 'Moderate' Growth With last night's China PMI disappointing expectations and eking out a just-expansionary miasma of hope for the growth enthusiasts, the very real question of global growth sustainability (while not on US equity market participants' minds) is coming to the fore. As Michael Pettis notes, Martin Wolf's recent perspective that it may be useful to think about Japan as a model for understanding the adjustment process in China since the Japanese model shows how risky it is to shift to a slow-growth model. While expectations for a 'relatively moderate' slowdown are common (at rates considered rapid for most economies); Pettis asks rhetorically, if part of the explanation for Chinas spectacular growth of the past three decades has to do with the positive feedback loops that are so typical of developing countries with fragile and unsophisticated financial systems, then a moderate slowdown in growth may be an impossible target to achieve. Once growth starts to slow, the self-reinforcing impact on urbanization, on credit growth, on financial distress, and on expectations may force growth rates to drop far more sharply than any 'plausible' analysis would suggest.

Europe Has Become A Totalitarian State Cyprus is absolutely the template for Europe now. It is just that the template is far worse than what is narrowly imagined. It is not the small nation of Cyprus nor is it that the specifics of the criminality that was transacted in Cyprus which is any sort of template. This is not the center of the issue. It is what Cyprus means and the horrible implications of what took place. Yesterday the Parliament in Cyprus narrowly passed the EU bailout. There is one set of guidelines for Germany now and Germany still operates under their own laws but when it comes to other nations in the European Union that are in financial difficulty there are no real laws left. All that there is now is the tyrannical demands of Berlin that must be obeyed to receive funds.

 

What Causes The Growing Wealth Gap In America? A major issue in America today is the growing gap between the rich and the poor, and the popular narrative is that the disparity is caused by capitalism run wild and only the firm hand of government can fix the problem. But what if this narrative has it backwards? What if the growing wealth disparity in America is actually caused by the government? Take Warren Buffet, a man often at the center of this debate, as not only is he a billionaire, but also a vocal advocate for higher income taxes on the rich. Many are aware of his acumen in making investments that have a margin of safety or minimal downside but few are aware of the greatest source of such safety for Mr. Buffet in recent years, the US Government.

She called it: The process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values, and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects. The same applies to most market forecasts.

The Takedown Of Gold A Sign That The Entire Global Financial System Is About To Crash ?

http://albertpeia.com/globalfinancialsystemcrash.htm

 

‘…So who is behind all of this orchestration?  Well, according to Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, it is actually the Federal Reserve... The Federal Reserve began its April Fools assault on gold by sending the word to brokerage houses, which quickly went out to clients, that hedge funds and other large investors were going to unload their gold positions and that clients should get out of the precious metal market prior to these sales. As this inside information was the governments own strategy, individuals cannot be prosecuted for acting on it. By this operation, the Federal Reserve, a totally corrupt entity, was able to combine individual flight with institutional flight. Bullion prices took a big hit, and bullishness departed from the gold and silver markets. The flow of dollars into bullion, which threatened to become a torrent, was stopped. In fact, Dr. Roberts says that former Goldman Sachs trader Andrew Maguire is reporting that the Fed orchestrated the dumping of 500 tons of naked gold shorts into the market on Friday... According to Andrew Maguire, on Friday, April 12, the Feds agents hit the market with 500 tons of naked shorts. Normally, a short is when an investor thinks the price of a stock or commodity is going to fall. He wants to sell the item in advance of the fall, pocket the money, and then buy the item back after it falls in price, thus making money on the short sale. If he doesnt have the item, he borrows it from someone who does, putting up cash collateral equal to the current market price. Then he sells the item, waits for it to fall in price, buys it back at the lower price and returns it to the owner who returns his collateral. If enough shorts are sold, the result can be to drive down the market price. As Dr. Roberts noted, this represents an absolutely massive amount of gold... Consider the 500 tons of paper gold sold on Friday. Begin with the question, how many ounces is 500 tons? There are 2,000 pounds to one ton. 500 tons equal 1,000,000 pounds. There are 16 ounces to one pound, which comes to 16 million ounces of short sales on Friday. Who has 16 million ounces of gold? At the beginning gold price that day of about $1,550, that comes to $24,800,000,000. Who has that kind of money? A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE NEED TO BE CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATED. Meanwhile, many are considering this takedown of gold to be an ominous sign that another major financial crisis may be heading our way. Just remember what happened back in 2008.  As Zero Hedge noted on Monday, the price of gold suddenly plunged 21 percent in July 2008.  That was just a couple of months before the U.S. stock market crashed in the fall...

 

 

El-Erian's Summary: "Virtually Every Market Is Trading At Very Artificial Levels""In order for central banks to achieve their ultimate economic objective - which is growth and jobs - they have to push investors into taking more risk than is justified," is the somewhat chilling warning that PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian gives in this excellent interview with the WSJ. "Central banks are operating through the wealth effect and animal spirits," El-Erian says peeling back the truth onion, as they prop up asset prices to "artificial levels, in virtually every market." Worries over the central bankers of the world withdrawing easy money policies too early are "unwarranted," he notes, adding that he suspects, "they will most likely stay too long and they will consciously make that mistake." Critically, though, he sends a message that appears to fit with many of our recent discussions (most recently here) that "if these levels arent validated by the fundamentals, then investors will get hurt."

Will The New Housing Bubble That Bernanke Is Creating End As Badly As The Last One Did?

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com

Welcome Back Recession: Chicago PMI Implodes To 49, First Sub-50 Print Since September 2009 TOTAL COLLAPSE. That is the only way to explain what just happened with the Chicago PMI which imploded from 52.4, and printed at a contractionary 49: the first sub-50 headline print since September 2009. But that's not all: Deliveries, Prices Paid and Production all hit their lowest since 2009; Backlogs posted their tenth month of contraction in the past 12 months. And what's worst for the Department of Making Shit Up, Employment plunged from 551. to 48.7, its third month over month decline. Actually another way to phrase it: complete disaster. Obviously this number explains why S&P should have no problems crossing 1,600 today. Because for that other Department: of Propaganda and Creating money out of thin air, this means only one thing: the Fed is preparing to print ONE KROOGOL MORE!

 

 

The Crisis Is Imminent: “When The Real Crash Comes It Will Be Worse Than the Great Depression”   Mac Slavo | “The United States is like the Titanic, and I’m here with the lifeboat trying to get people to leave the ship.”

 

Macro Collapse Pushes S&P 500 To New All-Time Nominal High And Close "Horrible" PMI, no problem; just add it to the list of macro data that has missed significantly in recent weeks. Bloomberg's US Macro index has utterly collapse in recent weeks - now at its worst level in 7 months but apparently if good is good, bad is better, and totally shitty is absolutely awesome. It would appear the world of nominal equity index chasers is now fully cognizant that the reality of their lemming like herding is based on one simple thing (no matter how much they kick and scream and proclaim wisdom about earnings cycles, growth, margins, transformative energy, or new AAPL products) - and that is... Central Bank promises. If the Fed needed any ammo for tomorrow to hint that there is a time frame longer than infinite and that there is a size of imprudence larger than infinity, then they have it... of course, there is, once gain, very weak volume on this uptick (but like everything else, that doesn't matter either.)

 

CME Chairman On Gold: People Dont Want Gold Certificates, They Want the Real Product CME's Terry Duffy: "Whats interesting about gold, when we had that big break two weeks ago we saw all the gold stocks trade down significantly, we saw all the gold products trade down significantly, but one thing that did not trade down, was gold coins, tangible real  gold.  Thats going to show you, people dont want certificates, they dont want anything else.  They want the real product."

 

Is Stability In Japanese Bonds Signalling Gold's Next Leg Higher? There is a very explicit link between the volatility (or risk) associated with one of the world's lowest yield and supposedly risk-free sovereign bond complexes and the need for liquidity (or cash over gold or commodities). The last two weeks has seen JGB bond vol drop and gold rally as the correlation (which appears to have strong causal links) continues; and suggests notably more upside for Gold (especially as CoT data shows net longs remain extremely low).

 

What Was Left Unanswered In Today's Apple Record Bond Offering What seems to be known by very few, is what appears to be a very disturbing trend in the distribution of cash domestically vs cash abroad. As the chart below shows, when it comes to offshore-held cash, AAPL is indeed a cash cow. And with the bulk of the company's growth prospects, and ever more so, sales abroad, this makes intuitive sense. As noted above, AAPL reported $102 billion in cash abroad, an increase of $8 billion in the quarter.  This is terrific news... if only the company could dividend, buyback or engage in any other shareholder friendly action with this cash. It can't. How about cash held domestically? Well, as can be seen in the red bar below, domestic cash has not only stagnated in the $30-40 billion area for two years, it actually declined in the most recent quarter. And yes, this is the cash that Apple has full recourse to, and which it uses to make dividend payments out of, and to fund stock buybacks. Congratulations to Apple for its record $17 billion bond offering today. Perhaps the real question, however, is when is the next one?

Guest Post: Bubble Symmetry And Housing Way back in 2006 at the height of the housing bubble, we prepared this chart proposing the housing bubble might exhibit symmetry, i.e. the decline would mirror the rise. We also proposed that the decline would be characterized by phase shifts that corresponded to the decay of whatever reason was being given for the "recovery" in housing, for example, "this must be the bottom." Perhaps all the trillions of dollars of intervention has accomplished is extend Phase 2. Central bank and state manipulation distorted the symmetry of housing's decline, but did they stave off Phase 3 permanently? If bubbles eventually revert to their starting level, Phase 3--capitulation and a return to pre-bubble prices--still lies ahead.

Tuesday Humor: GM Announces It Is Losing Money On Every Volt Sold, Will Make Up For It With More Losses In what should not come as a major surprise to anyone, GM just announced that:  GM SAYS LOSING MONEY ON EVERY VOLT SOLD There is good news: being implicitly funded by the US taxpayer means never admitting failure. In fact, the faster one fails, the faster one gets bailed out. GM SAYS NOT GIVING UP ON VOLT And when failure is not an option, the only other option is even greater failure. And even bigger losses. GM SAYS NEXT GEN VOLT WILL BE $7,000 TO $10,000 CHEAPER Slowly but surely everyone is figuring out that in the USSA, where making a profit is becoming increasingly impossible, the only credible business model is that of Amazon: lose lots of money but make up for it in volume.

Another Month Of Record European Unemployment And Dropping Inflation Sets Up An ECB Rate Cut The weakness in economic data (not to be confused with the centrally-planned anachronism known as the "markets") started overnight when despite a surge in Japanese consumer spending (up 5.2% on expectations of 1.6%, the most in nine years) by those with access to the stock market and mostly of the "richer" variety, did not quite jive with a miss in retail sales, which actually missed estimates of dropping "only" -0.8%, instead declining -1.4%. As the FT reported what we said five months ago, "Four-fifths of Japanese households have never held any securities, and 88 per cent have never invested in a mutual fund, according to a survey last year by the Japan Securities Dealers Association." In other words any transient strength will be on the back of the Japanese "1%" - those where the "wealth effect" has had an impact and whose stock gains have offset the impact of non-core inflation. In other words, once the Yen's impact on the Nikkei225 tapers off (which means the USDJPY stops soaring), that will be it for even the transitory effects of Abenomics. Confirming this was Japanese Industrial production which also missed, rising by only 0.2%, on expectations of a 0.4% increase. But the biggest news of the night was European inflation data: the April Eurozone CPI reading at 1.2% on expectations of a 1.6% number, and down from 1.7%, which has now pretty much convinced all the analysts that a 25 bps cut in the ECB refi rate, if not deposit, is now merely a formality and will be announced following a unanimous decision.

Presenting: The Housing Bubble 2.0 It was just seven short years ago that the prices at the epicenter of the housing bubble, Los Angeles, CA rose by 50% every six months as the nation experienced its first parabolic move higher in home prices courtesy of Alan Greenspan's disastrous policies: a time when everyone knew intuitively the housing market was in an epic bubble, yet which nobody wanted to pop because there was just too much fun to be had chasing the bouncing ball, not to mention money. Well, courtesy of the real-time real estate pricing trackers at Altos Research, we now know that the very worst of the housing bubble is not only back, but it is at levels not seen since the days when a house in the Inland Empire was only a faint glimmer of the prototype for BitCoin.

Yet, there is no question but that the masses so mocked, deserve to be mocked, having embraced their dismal fate at every turn; viz., their embrace of political correctness, though contraindicated, as, ie., the embrace of the violent, destructive nigger who literally would have them for dinner, or the compulsion to embrace that which the state says is right, though contraindicated, for political expedience owing to failure fed (including the incompetent missteps of the failed fed) desperation, ie., gay marriage, etc., contrived wars / conflicts, among other clearly observable, self-interested behavior of people, companies, nations, including the gargantuan bailed out frauds on wall street to everyones (but the frauds) detriment, still unprosecuted.

Yet, there is no question but that the masses so mocked, deserve to be mocked, having embraced their dismal fate at every turn; viz., their embrace of political correctness, though contraindicated, as, ie., the embrace of the violent, destructive nigger who literally would have them for dinner, or the compulsion to embrace that which the state says is right, though contraindicated, for political expedience owing to failure fed (including the incompetent missteps of the failed fed) desperation, ie., gay marriage, etc., contrived wars / conflicts, among other clearly observable, self-interested behavior of people, companies, nations, including the gargantuan bailed out frauds on wall street to everyones (but the frauds) detriment, still unprosecuted. That the jive-talking, b***s*** artist/grifter/con-man obama has not been held to even one of his former now broken campaign promises and is embraced by those foolish enough to believe more of the same is testament to how deserving of mocking the masses truly are (people should be outraged and wobama should be ridden out on a rail). Make no mistake; the reality is that the new world order/so-called elite are not elite at all; but rather, incompetent vegetables who cant do anything right as theyve now proven time and time again.

FBI Report Implicates Saudi Government in 9/11 Posted by : George Washington Post date: 04/29/2013 - But "We Can’t Afford to Irritate the Saudis" By Actually Looking Into Who Backed 9/11 ...  "Especially with Oil Prices Going Up Now"  

 

 

 

At $72.8 Trillion, Presenting The Bank With The Biggest Derivative Exposure In The World (Hint: Not JPMorgan) Think JPMorgan's $69.5 trillion in total notional derivative exposure is big to quite big? You ain't seen nothing yet...

 

The End Of 'Orderly And Fair Markets' Capitalism may have bested communism a few decades ago, but exactly how our economic system allocates societys scarce resources is now undergoing its first serious transformation since the NYSEs founding fathers met under the buttonwood tree in 1792.  Technology, complexity and speed have already transformed how stocks trade; but As ConvergEx's Nick Colas notes, the real question now is what role these forces will play in long-term capital formation and allocation.  Rookie mistakes like the Twitter hack flash crash might be easy to deride, but make no mistake, Colas reminds us: the changes that started with high frequency and algorithmic trading are just the first step to an entirely different process of determining stock prices.  The only serious challenge this metamorphosis will likely face is a notable crash of the still-developing system and resultant regulation back to more strictly human-based processes.

 

The Spot Price of Precious Metals Is Becoming Irrelevant In light of the recent violent down-and-up action in the precious metals, the Hard Assets Alliance (HAA) see three effects in the fallout. For starters, demand is off the charts: "We had four to five times as many buy orders and sell orders, both in number of trades and in volume. Far more significant buying than selling, and its continued throughout the week." Second, the demand we're seeing is from existing customers who are returning to buy in bigger volume as they see the precious metals as being "on sale" right now. Third, the surge in physical buying combined with tightening supply is resulting in the premium paid over spot price for physical bullion to march upwards quickly. For all of recent memory, the price of precious metals has been determined in the paper marketplace (e.g., COMEX; LBMA). That may now be changing. Should the availability of physical bullion start setting the price action, the spot price quoted in the paper market for gold or silver will become an anachronistic irrelevance.

 

JPM Reclassifies Another 4.7K Ounces Of Gold Into Eligible It's that time again when we cautiously peek at cell H25 of the daily CME Group Metal Depository Statistics worksheet to find if, following Friday's dramatic and volatile trading session in gold, someone, anyone decided to submit a delivery ticket to the JPM vault located at 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza, and reduce the already near record low gold inventory which at last check was just over 5 tons, and just one 163K troy ounce delivery request would lead to all commercial gold at the JPM vault to run down to zero. Not this time. As it turns, in a carbon copy of Friday's internal conversion, in which 17.5k ounces of gold were selectively converted from Registered to Eligible status (for all those sticklers about nomenclature definition, this is how easy it is to convert one into the other and vice versa and how meaningless said designations really are), on Friday JPM decided to do some more redefinition, and converted another 4.7k ounces of gold from registered into eligible, pushing up the total by a fractional amount to 163.8k ounces, still just a hair's breath away from the all time record low reported last Thursday.

 

Iceland Just Says "Nei" To Pro-European Party During the crisis Iceland was held up as one of the best examples of what was so wrong with the bubble that was created and sold to any and all. The party in power during this debacle was summarily dismissed by the people. However, a mere few years later, and given the apparent abhorrence with all things European, the Icelandic people have just ousted the incumbent pro-Europe party in favor of the Independence and Progressive parties that governed during the crisis. As the WSJ reports, the Social Democratic Alliance, which had overseen economic recovery and pushed for European Union membership, saw support tumble as the electorate's concern about personal finances overshadowed the ruling coalition's ability to stabilize the economy. Couple this with the promises of the two parties to cut taxes and the sweell of nationalist sentiment and the Social Democrats were summarily crushed. The leader of the Progressive party perhaps summed up the poeple's views best: "deeper integration with a Europe in "historic decline" isn't necessarily the best for Iceland," and that "economic crisis in Iceland and Europe has taught us the importance of being able to control your own destiny." Of course, as with any election, lots of promises are made; "they have really been promising the moon, people might get dissatisfied when they see that not everything can be realized."

 

Deutsche Bank Releases Q1 Earnings Early Moments after reporting its surprising 10% equity dilution, DB proceeds to release it Q1 earnings early. Some of the highlights:Revenue 9.4 bn, Est. 9.23 bn, up 197MM Y/Y Non-Interest expenses 6.6Bn, down 5% Y/Y Net Income 1.661 billion, up 253MM Y/Y Diluted earnings per share 1.71 Provision for credit losses at 354MM, up 40 MM from prior year, but down 79MM from Q4. Sales and Trading(debt and other products) down 438MM, or -14% Y/Y Origination and Advisory net revenues increased by EUR 38 million, or 6%, compared to the first quarter 2012

 

Deutsche Bank To Sell Up To 90 Million Shares, Will Raise 2.8 Billion In New Capital And just like that, European banks are back in capital raising mode, starting with what is perceived by some as Europe's strongest bank (alternatively, the most undercapitalized): Deutsche Bank, which at least check had a Core Tier 1 cap ratio somewhere south of 2%. *DEUTSCHE BANK TO SELL UP TO 90 MLN NEW SHARES TO RAISE EU2.8B  *DEUTSCHE BANK SAYS NO PUBLIC OFFERING PLANNED  *DEUTSCHE BANK SHRS WILL BE PLACED VIA ACCELERATED BOOKBUILD  Since this is about 10% of the company's total float, the stock is not happy.  The question why DB announced this just ahead of its earnings release should certainly make one ask just how well capitalized Europe (where every bank purports to having a fortress Basel III balance sheet) truly is?

 

Jim O'Neill's Farewell Letter Over the years, Jim O'Neill, former Chairman of GSAM, rose to fame for pegging the BRIC acronym (no such luck for the guy who came up with the far more applicable and accurate PIIGS, or STUPIDS, monikers, but that's neither here nor there). O'Neill was correct in suggesting, about a decade ago, that the rise of the middle class in these countries and their purchasing power would prove to be a major driving force in the world economy. O'Neill was wrong in his conclusion as to what the ultimate driver of said purchasing power would be: as it has become all too clear with the entire world drowning in debt (and recently China), it was pure and simply debt. O'Neill was horribly wrong after the Great Financial Crisis when he suggested that it would be the BRIC nation that would push the world out of depression. To the contrary, not only is the world not out of depression as the fourth consecutive year of deteriorating economic data confirms (long since disconnected with the actual capital markets), but it is the wanton money (and bad debt) creation by the central banks of the developed world (as every instance of easing by China has led to an immediate surge of inflation in the domestic market) that has so far allowed the day of reckoning, and waterfall debt liquidations, to take place (and certainly don't look at the stock index performance of China, Brazil, India or Russia). Despite his errors, he has been a good chap having taken much of the abuse piled upon him here at Zero Hedge somewhat stoically, as well as a fervent ManU supporter, certainly at least somewhat of a redeeming quality. Attached please find his final, farewell letter as Chairman of the Goldman Asset Management division, as he moves on to less tentacular pastures.

 

Wall Street Is A Rentier Rip-Off: Index Funds Beat 99.6% Of Managers Over Ten Years It may seem uncharitable to note that only 0.4% - that's 4/10th of 1% - of mutual fund managers outperform a plain-vanilla S&P 500 index fund over 10 years, but that is being generous: by other measures, it's an infinitesimal 1/10th of 1%. So what do we get for investing our capital in mutual funds and hedge funds? The warm and fuzzy feeling that we've contributed the liquidity needed to grease a monumental skimming operation. Ten out of 10,000 is simply signal noise; in effect, nobody beats an index fund. The entire financial management industry is a rentier arrangement: they skim immense profits and return no productive yield at all.

 

This Is What Passes For A Good Earnings Season In The "New Normal" "With earnings reports in from more than half the companies in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index, first-quarter revenue for the group is expected to shrink 0.3% from a year earlier, according to Thomson Reuters. That would cut short the sales improvement reported at the end of last year and mark the third quarter out of the past four in which revenues have failed to grow by 1% or more. The sales figures are a troubling sign that business and consumer demand remain weak nearly four years after the recession. They are also evidence that a soft patch is developing in the U.S. economy, as optimism earlier in the year gives way to more sobering data on growth in gross domestic product, retail sales and manufacturing. In response, many companies are cutting jobs and curbing investments in an effort to prop up profits, moves that could make it harder for demand to recover."

 

Dallas Fed Implodes: Biggest Drop And Miss On Record Send Market To Intraday Highs If this doesn't send the S&P to new all time highs nothing will. Moments ago the Dallas Fed reported its April General Business Activity report and in short it was the biggest miss to expectations on record, plummeting from 7.4 to -15.6, on expectations of a 5.0 print and the lowest since July 2012. It was also the biggest one month drop on record. Since all of this will be attributed to balmy spring weather in New Zealand, extra rainfall in the Russian Steppes, the US sequester, evil European fauxterity, Cyprus deposit confiscation, and of course, Bush, there is no point in commenting on this disaster at all. And why comment: judging by the market's response which is now at the day's highs, it is not as if anyone even pretends any data matters. The only hope now for those expecting a 20,000 on the DJIA is that the ISM due out soon, will print at 0 and everything will be permanently fixed. In other news the daily prayer to praise St. Bernanke begins at 11 am when POMO ends. Please orient yourself to face the Marriner Eccles building when bowing down.

 

And The Squeeeze Goes On... In the last five days, the 'most-shorted' names in the Russell 2000 index have surged over 7.3% from their lows. During the same period, the index itself has managed a still-impressive 2.4% gain. The epic triple-beta dash-for-trash continues to rage and tear the faces off every short who dare use reasonable valuation (macro- and micro-) perspectives to make investment decisions. When will it end?

 

Confused By What Is Going On At JCP? Here's The Pro Forma Cap Table And The Cliff Notes Ever since JCP entered the death watch with its absolutely abysmal 2012 year end results which saw the firm report something like negative $1.5 billion in Free Cash Flow (frankly we stopped counting there), and just ahead of the heavy inventory rebuild season so just as net working capital would demand another billion or so in cash, much has happened at the company.

 

Italy: "An Orgy Worthy Of Bunga Bunga" All of the EU hails, welcomes and applauds the new Italian government. Mr. Grillo thinks that the new government will last but a few scant months as Europe breathes a sigh of relief that the 5 Star Party is not in control. Far better to deal with the devils that you know rather than new ones that may be far worse. Beyond the politics of the moment Italy is besieged by a very serious crisis. As the various central banks dump money into the system the yields on Italian sovereign debt have gone down but this does not change the economic difficulties. Italys difficult position was enumerated in a Bank of Italy report to parliament last week which said the economy was going through its most acute crisis since World War II. Mr. Grillos response to the new government was amusing: An orgy worthy of bunga bunga.

 

Spending On Services Jumps By Most Ever As Incomes Disappoint, Savings Rate Near Five Year Lows Despite expectations that following several months of subpar income growth offset by rampaging spending and thus a plunging savings rate, March incomes would rise by 0.4%, while spending would be flat, this did not happen, and instead both spending and incomes rose by the same amount, or 0.2% in the past month. Worse, when adjusting for inflation, real disposable income rose just 1.1% compared to last March, and just barely above the 0% breakeven. On the other side, real spending was up 2.2% Y/Y just barely above the 2% recessionary threshold. And even that number is misleading as spending on Total Goods (including durable, already known as being quite abysmal, and non-durable), dropped by $32.8 billion in nominal dollars. What was the offset? Why a massive surge in consumption expenditures on services, which rose by $53.8 billion, which absent the spending aberation for September 11, 2001, which was reversed in the following month, was the biggest monthly increase on record! What drove this record services spending spree is anyone's guess. 

 

Student Loan Bubble Cracks With Pulled Sallie Mae Bond Deal In 2007 a small number of French hedge funds imploded over sudden losses stemming from highly leveraged bets made on the unstoppable subprime mortgage market. At the time, a few saw the writing on the wall; but many simply wrote it off as just another over-levered hedge fund and the subprime mortgage market was 'fine'. Fast forward six years and as we have discussed numerous times (most recently here and here) there is a bubble, potentially far bigger than subprime, in student loan debt. As one of the last remaining outlets for state-sanction credit creation, this is a big deal; but, of course, the popping of the bubble (or even a slight leak) is eschewed since there is so much 'reach for yield' and the Fed's got your back. That is until this week. As WSJ reports, Sallie Mae (SLM), the nation's largest non-government student lender just cancelled a $225 million debt offering as investors  decided they simply were not getting paid enough for risk - amid rising student loan defaults. Simply put, there's a limit to what investors will tolerate.

Albert Edwards' Bleak Crystal Ball Reveals Gold Above $10,000; S&P At 450 ; And Sub-1% Bond Yields "The late Margaret Thatcher had a strong view about consensus. She called it: The process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values, and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects. The same applies to most market forecasts. With some rare exceptions (like our commodity analysts? recent prescient call for a slump in the gold price), analysts don?t like to stand out from the crowd. It is dangerous and career-challenging. In that vein, we repeat our key forecasts of the S&P Composite to bottom around 450, accompanied by sub-1% US 10y yields and gold above $10,000."

The Takedown Of Gold A Sign That The Entire Global Financial System Is About To Crash ?

http://albertpeia.com/globalfinancialsystemcrash.htm

 

‘…So who is behind all of this orchestration?  Well, according to Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, it is actually the Federal Reserve... The Federal Reserve began its April Fools assault on gold by sending the word to brokerage houses, which quickly went out to clients, that hedge funds and other large investors were going to unload their gold positions and that clients should get out of the precious metal market prior to these sales. As this inside information was the governments own strategy, individuals cannot be prosecuted for acting on it. By this operation, the Federal Reserve, a totally corrupt entity, was able to combine individual flight with institutional flight. Bullion prices took a big hit, and bullishness departed from the gold and silver markets. The flow of dollars into bullion, which threatened to become a torrent, was stopped. In fact, Dr. Roberts says that former Goldman Sachs trader Andrew Maguire is reporting that the Fed orchestrated the dumping of 500 tons of naked gold shorts into the market on Friday... According to Andrew Maguire, on Friday, April 12, the Feds agents hit the market with 500 tons of naked shorts. Normally, a short is when an investor thinks the price of a stock or commodity is going to fall. He wants to sell the item in advance of the fall, pocket the money, and then buy the item back after it falls in price, thus making money on the short sale. If he doesnt have the item, he borrows it from someone who does, putting up cash collateral equal to the current market price. Then he sells the item, waits for it to fall in price, buys it back at the lower price and returns it to the owner who returns his collateral. If enough shorts are sold, the result can be to drive down the market price. As Dr. Roberts noted, this represents an absolutely massive amount of gold... Consider the 500 tons of paper gold sold on Friday. Begin with the question, how many ounces is 500 tons? There are 2,000 pounds to one ton. 500 tons equal 1,000,000 pounds. There are 16 ounces to one pound, which comes to 16 million ounces of short sales on Friday. Who has 16 million ounces of gold? At the beginning gold price that day of about $1,550, that comes to $24,800,000,000. Who has that kind of money? A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE NEED TO BE CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATED. Meanwhile, many are considering this takedown of gold to be an ominous sign that another major financial crisis may be heading our way. Just remember what happened back in 2008.  As Zero Hedge noted on Monday, the price of gold suddenly plunged 21 percent in July 2008.  That was just a couple of months before the U.S. stock market crashed in the fall...

 

 

El-Erian's Summary: "Virtually Every Market Is Trading At Very Artificial Levels""In order for central banks to achieve their ultimate economic objective - which is growth and jobs - they have to push investors into taking more risk than is justified," is the somewhat chilling warning that PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian gives in this excellent interview with the WSJ. "Central banks are operating through the wealth effect and animal spirits," El-Erian says peeling back the truth onion, as they prop up asset prices to "artificial levels, in virtually every market." Worries over the central bankers of the world withdrawing easy money policies too early are "unwarranted," he notes, adding that he suspects, "they will most likely stay too long and they will consciously make that mistake." Critically, though, he sends a message that appears to fit with many of our recent discussions (most recently here) that "if these levels arent validated by the fundamentals, then investors will get hurt."

 

MarketWatch Paul B. Farrell  America needs a new war Commentary: Any one of these 10 flash points could trigger it, saving capitalism from itself. { I’m really disappointed by this article and will no longer follow or post links to farrell’s articles. Even if in jest, an exercise in sarcasm, or sophistry at its worst, such position is so absolutely uncivilized and in such poor taste and without any intellectual foundation that I must wonder how MarketWatch hasn’t really ‘watched’. I want to know what wars farrell’s fought in, or how many of his own children have died in same. I’m staunchly against communism which I’ve made no secret; but if farrell’s specious reasoning was correct (it’s not, economically and otherwise, but quite Orwellian), I honestly would then say, ‘Let capitalism die’! }

Everyone's Missing the Bigger Picture in the Reinhart-Rogoff Debate Posted by: George Washington Post date: 04/26/2013 - The "Excel Spreadsheet Error" In Context

 

"The Illuminati Were Amateurs" - Matt Taibbi Explains How "Everything Is Rigged" The Illuminati were amateurs. The second huge financial scandal of the year reveals the real international conspiracy: There's no price the big banks can't fix. Conspiracy theorists of the world, believers in the hidden hands of the Rothschilds and the Masons and the Illuminati, we skeptics owe you an apology. You were right. The players may be a little different, but your basic premise is correct: The world is a rigged game. We found this out in recent months, when a series of related corruption stories spilled out of the financial sector, suggesting the world's largest banks may be fixing the prices of, well, just about everything.

 

JPMorgan Accounts For 99.3% Of The COMEX Gold Sales In The Last Three Months When just one firm accounts for 99.3% of the physical gold sales at the COMEX in the last three months its not what most of us on this side of the rainbow would consider broad-based selling.  Of course discovering this kind of relevant information requires an internet connection, 2nd grade math and reading skills, and the desire to do a teeny-weeny bit of reporting.  Sadly theyve wandered so far down the rabbit hole that the concept of physical demand (i.e. people actually wanting to take possession of the stuff) is puzzling to them because the vast majority of the worlds so-called gold-trading takes place in the realm of make believe (which is their natural habitat).  Its all fun and games until somebody loses their metal and somebody has lost one hell of a lot of metal in the last 90 days... J P Morgan has fumbled ownership of 1,966,000 Troy ounces of gold since February 1.  Thats 74% more gold than the US mint delivered through the US mints American Eagle program in all of 2012.  I mention this because theres little doubt in my mind that the US government is one of JPMs gold customers.  So (if I am correct) the same US government who just let the Morgue dump its gold on the COMEX floor will once again be suspending gold sales to peasants.

 

Europe In One Chart How much is the 'promise' of a European Central Banker worth? As European macro data in the last month has plunged at its fastest rate in 6 years, equity markets have, of course soared back to near multi-year highs (EuroStoxx 600 up 5% in the last week alone). We only hope that the equity markets really do know something different this time - as opposed to the last two times we saw this kind of disconnect. The answer - Draghi's 'whatever it takes' promise is maintaining a 30% illusion of wealth in European equities over their macro reality.

 

"If" - Reflections On The Precious Metals Last week's collapse in precious metals prices reminded Santiago Capital's Brent Johnson of Rudyard Kipling's famous poem 'If' - "If you can keep your head when all those about you are losing theirs." This brief but complete summary of why one should hold gold, the theories about the drop, his view of the manipulation - "would it really surprise anyone?", and the ongoing and increasing realization among the mainstream that a rising gold price is the canary in the coalmine of economic distress and currency debasement is well worth the price of admission. His message is clear, buy physical gold - rather than futures - don't use margin and store it somewhere safe. The last three minutes of "Ifs" are a succinct list of the questions everyone should ask themselves about the status quo.

 

Guest Post: The Good Guys Are Not Coming To Save Us A lot of Americans know that the US government is out of control. Anyone who has cared enough to study the US Constitution even a little knows this. Still, very few of these people are taking any significant action, and largely because of one error: They are waiting for the good guys to show up and fix things. Some think that certain groups of politicians will pull it together and fix things, or that one magnificent politician will ride in to fix things. Others think that certain members of the military will step in and slap the politicians back into line. And, we're sure there are other variations. There are several problems with this. The sad truth: No one is going to ride in and save you. If you want things to get better, then YOU will have to make them better. YOU will have to stand up and take the arrows, yourself.

JPMorgan Receives No New COMEX Gold Today, Converts Registered Into Eligible Anyone waiting with bated breath for the moment when cell H25 in the daily Comex gold inventory update (the one showing JPM's total holdings of Eligible gold) shows 0.000 will have to wait at least one more day. According to today's update, as of Thursday (so excluding today's post-Europe close gold shenannigans) JPM's eligible for delivery gold inventory did not receive any new gold, which started the day at yesterday's record low (for the firm) level of 141,581.5 troy ounces, and would have ended flat, had it not been for the reclassification of 17.5k ounces of registered gold into eligible.

 

The Week That Was: April 22nd-26th 2013 Succinctly summarizing the positive and negative news, data, and market events of the week...

 

Bonds Up, Dow Up, JPY Up, Gold Up, Oil Up; Earnings Down, Macro Down For the fifth week in a row, US Macro data deteriorated markedly (not helped at all by today's GDP miss). The Q1 earnings picture is dismal, with beats far less than average and revenues hugely disappointing. But, in light of all that reality, where-ever you look, screens are green. Despite some softness today (oil, S&P, and Nasdaq down) the week showed impressive gains for equities amid the lowest volume week in three months (mostly driven by the epic short squeeze on Tuesday), modest gains for Treasuries (yields lower by 2-4bps), significant outperformance by precious metals (up over 3-4% on the week - having given some back in a post-Europe smackdown today), and WTI crude up over 5% on the week.  Perhaps the most notable fact about the week (apart from equity's inexorable bid in the face of nothing positive at all) was the surge in JPY. In an Abenomics-shattering print, last night's deflation data helped USDJPY rally its most in 11 months for the week. While all asunder will be celebrating another green week, it is perhaps worth noting that while the Russell gained 1.3% from Monday's close, the 'most-shorted' names of that index more than tripled that performance - gaining 4.4% on the week... squeeeeze.

 

 

The Muppet Slaying Continues: TYM3 EditionAnother day, another muppet-slaying by the true master. Recall Goldman Sachs from April 10: We recommend going short 10-year US Treasuries via June futures (TYM3) at the current level of 132-20 for an initial price target of 130-00 and stops on a close above 134-00. In yields space, the corresponding move is from the current 1.76% to around 2.10%, and stops on a close around 1.60% - corresponding to the lows from last November. Fast forward to today where just out from Bloomberg we read... TY Poised for Highest Close Since Dec. 11 Sorry muppets, you just got slain. Again.

 

Guest Post: "Peak Rail" Has The Crude Shipping Train Left The Station? Some call it the holy rail. In Alberta Canada, an estimated 120,000 barrels of oil per day are shipped out by train to the U.S. east coast and Gulf coast region. By the end of the year - when several terminals are completed - that number could reach 200,000 barrels a day. Despite rail costs doubling pipeline tariffs, the logistics have often been worth the time for producers - those that have been able to get a better price railing it past the mid-continent refineries all the way to the US East Coast and Gulf Coast. But just as Canadian rail use is set to soar again, say analysts - rail may no longer be economic. In fact, rail could be a victim of its own success.

 

Germany's Virtuous Circle Takeover Of Europe German finance minister Schaeuble just explained, in a seeming effort to assuage rising fears that the one core nation left in Europe will choose the game-theoretically optimal first-defection wins strategy, that "Germany benefits from the Euro more than others." Indeed it does; as German firms are buying up strong competitors, clients or suppliers at a time when those companies are struggling to stay afloat through years of recession in their home markets and as shaky banks restrict access to credit. It appears that the slow-and-steady bloodless invasion of Europe can be summed up by the following virtuous circle of Germany's hidden strategy. Of course, as Schaeuble explained later in his missive, "it is nonsense" that Germany wants a German Europe and that the Euro exchange rates is "Okay" for Germany.

 

RANsquawk Weekly Wrap - 26th April 2013

 

CISPA Is Dead; Internet 'Privacy' Safe Again (For Now) The controversial cybersecurity bill, known, ever so gently as, the Cyber Information Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) - since it's for your own good - that passed the House last week looks set to be shelved in the Senate according to representatives. The bill would have allowed the federal government to share classified "cyber threat" information with companies, but it also provided provisions that would have allowed companies to share information about specific users with the government. Privacy advocates also worried, rightly so given previous experience, that the National Security Administration would have gotten involved. As US News reports, Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.V., chairman of the committee, said the passage of CISPA was "important," but said the bill's "privacy protections are insufficient." One of CISPA's staunchest opponents, the ACLU, added, "CISPA is too controversial, it's too expansive, it's just not the same sort of program contemplated by the Senate last year." While this is a short-term victory for everyone who uses the web, the ACLU warns, "we need to be vigilant as the year moves on to make sure that whatever the next product is, it's not CISPA- lite."

 

Consumer Confidence Drops, Back To April 2012 Levels The final print for UMich Consumer Confidence beat expectations but that is about the best anyone can hope to glean from it. A slight improvement from the preliminary April data, the current and outlook economic indices both dropped for the first time this year and it has now been four months of no change year-over-year in this important sentiment indicator as today's measure of 'happiness' is exactly the same as that of April 2012. Perhaps US consumer are the most confident because their personal savings are now the lowest they have been in the past five years.

 

German Poll Shows Merkel Losing Majority With their economy appearing to slow dramatically, if the PMI and Ifo data is anything to go by, and a nation increasingly disavowed with the European project, it seems the 'people' are not amused. As MNI reports, a poll by Forchungsgruppe shows Merkel's CDU/CSU support fading. Critically, with only 40% backing Merkel, and the 'Merkel bloc' down to only 44%, the opposition and more anti-Europe SPD party gained a point and shifted their 'bloc' vote to 48%. Given that the mainstream parties have excluded a coalition with the Left party, such results would allow only coalitions of Merkel's CDU/CSU with the SPD or the Greens. This raises the question of whether Merkel becomes more hard-nosed in her treatment of European bailouts, cow-towing to her populist needs (especially as Euro membership remains the most popular 'concern' for Germans); or eases the pressure in the hope of a short-term juice of markets believing in joint-debt dreams into the election. We suspect the former, especially given the clear signals from the people as the 'Alternative for Germany' party gathers more headlines - if not representative votes.

 

The World Reacts To The US GDP Miss (Or Spot The Odd Market Out) The worst miss for US GDP since September 2011 was greeted by financial markets around the world in a variety of ways. Gold surged; the USD weakened (with JPY surging in an anti-Abe way); and Treasury yields plunged (amid increasing growth concerns. But the one market that anyone in power cares about, the US equity market, did nothing, absolutely nothing. We have two words for what the monetary policy heroine has done to our once useful 'markets', comfortably numb. It seems the bad-is-good, moar-QE trade is on in every asset class except stocks (for now).

 

Total US Debt To GDP: 105% Now that we have the first estimate of Q1 GDP growth in both rate of change and absolute current dollar terms ($16,010 billion), we can finally assign the appropriate debt number, which we know on a daily basis and which was $16,771.4 billion as of March 31, to the growth number. The end result: as of March 31, 2013, the US debt/GDP was 104.8%, up from 103% as of December 31, 2012 or a debt growth rate that would make the most insolvent Eurozone nation blush. There was a time when people were concerned about this unsustainable trajectory, but then there was an infamous excel error, and now nobody cares anymore.

 

Overhyped Q1 GDP Grows By Only 2.5%, Biggest Miss To Expectations Since September 2011 Less than an hour ago we speculated that "it wouldn't be surprising for GDP to come substantially weaker than expected, only to be revised higher (or lower) subsequently." Sure enough, we have gotten at least the first part right for now, with the advance Q1 GDP number printing a very disappointing 2.5%, on expectations of a 3.0% increase, up from 0.4% in Q4, and the biggest miss since Q3 2011. The reason for the big miss: Inventory and Fixed Investment came well below expectations, comprising 1.03% (of which autos represented 0.24%) and 0.53% of the 2.5% annualized increase GDP. Kiss the great CapEx investment story goodbye.

 

Les Miserables It is a convoluted world. The money rolls in from the Fed, the ECB and various European funds where money is pledged by each country and put up by none. Pledges, contingent liabilities, guarantees of bank debt are not counted but have not vanished and show up when the bills are due decreasing the assets of everyone.  The newly printed money must find a home and so supports the sovereign debt yields while costing each European government more in the process. Austerity fails, unemployment rises, economies decline, more taxes are applied and the use of newly printed money is the only thing that separates us from some sort of financial chaos. The differential between the European economies and the European markets increases and the actual losses increase. Print forever. Lies without end. Reality redefined.

 

Spain Slashes "Growth" Outlook, Projects Higher Deficit, Delays Deficit Reduction It took about one week from R&R's excel error until the first European country rebelled against "austerity" (which it never implemented in the first place, but that's a different story). Moments ago Spain officially said to hell with Germany's austerity, and announced it would delay achieving Europe's deficit target by two years, pushing it back by 2 years to 2016. Oh, and it slashed growth forecasts confirming what everyone else had known: it's economy is a total disaster, and the country can finally stop pretending there is any hope for "growth" in the near, mid or long-term future. *SPAIN REVISES DOWN 2013 GROWTH FORECAST TO -1.3 PCT OF GDP VS -0.5 PCT PREVIOUSLY *SEES DEFICITS OF 6.3% vs. 4.5% EU 2013 TARGET, 5.5% vs. 2.8% EU 2014, TARGET; 4.1% vs. 1.9% EU 2015 TARGET *SPAIN TO DELAY DEFICIT REDUCTION 2 YEARS AS UNEMPLOYMENT RISES. *SPAIN REVISES DOWN DEFICIT FORECAST TO 6.3 PCT OF GDP IN 2013 *SPAIN DELAYS REACHING EU BUDGET DEFICIT TARGET 2 YEARS TIL 2016 *SPAIN SEES UNEMPLOYMENT AT 27.1% IN 2013, 26.7% IN 2014  Luckily, this is not a surprise: the collapse in the Spanish economy is just as bad as had been expected, so this should be good for 10-20 points this morning in the Stalingrad & Poorski 500 stock index.

 

Q1 GDP Preview In just about an hour, the first (of three) Q1 GDP numbers will be released. It is expected to rebound to 3% from 0.4% in Q4. As Goldman explains, the bounce is expected to reflect "a mix of temporary factors -- namely a large inventory boost contributing about 1pp to growth -- and a genuine upside surprise from the strength of consumer spending despite the 2013 tax hikes." However, as we have since seen, the consumer "spending" was largely a seasonal revision of unadjusted data, which hardly was as euphoric, and which has sharply rolled over in Q2, meaning that what consumers add to Q1 GDP will be promptly removed from the second quarter. Furthermore, since there are two more GDP revisions, and since the Fed will likely seek to moderate QE "tapering" expectations, it wouldn't be surprising for GDP to come substantially weaker than expected, only to be revised higher (or lower) subsequently. In either case, for those who still believe macroeconomic fundamental data is relevant (in the New Normal it isn't), here is a quick run through what to expect from GS.

Overnight Sentiment Sours As Bank Of Japan Does Just As Expected And Nothing More While the main, if completely irrelevant, macroeconomic news of the day will be the first estimate of US Q1 GDP due out later today, perhaps the best testament of just how meaningless fundamental data has become was the scheduled BOJ announcement overnight in which Kuroda's merry men simply stated what was expected by everyone: the Japanese central bank merely repeated its pledge to double the monetary base in two years. The lack of any incremental easing, is what pushed both the USDJPY as low as 98.20 overnight (98.60 at last check), over 100 pips from the highs, and has pressured the Nikkei into its first red close in days, and shows just how habituated with the constant cranking up of the liqudity spigot the G-7 market has truly become.

The Takedown Of Gold A Sign That The Entire Global Financial System Is About To Crash ?

http://albertpeia.com/globalfinancialsystemcrash.htm

 

‘…So who is behind all of this orchestration?  Well, according to Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, it is actually the Federal Reserve... The Federal Reserve began its April Fools assault on gold by sending the word to brokerage houses, which quickly went out to clients, that hedge funds and other large investors were going to unload their gold positions and that clients should get out of the precious metal market prior to these sales. As this inside information was the governments own strategy, individuals cannot be prosecuted for acting on it. By this operation, the Federal Reserve, a totally corrupt entity, was able to combine individual flight with institutional flight. Bullion prices took a big hit, and bullishness departed from the gold and silver markets. The flow of dollars into bullion, which threatened to become a torrent, was stopped. In fact, Dr. Roberts says that former Goldman Sachs trader Andrew Maguire is reporting that the Fed orchestrated the dumping of 500 tons of naked gold shorts into the market on Friday... According to Andrew Maguire, on Friday, April 12, the Feds agents hit the market with 500 tons of naked shorts. Normally, a short is when an investor thinks the price of a stock or commodity is going to fall. He wants to sell the item in advance of the fall, pocket the money, and then buy the item back after it falls in price, thus making money on the short sale. If he doesnt have the item, he borrows it from someone who does, putting up cash collateral equal to the current market price. Then he sells the item, waits for it to fall in price, buys it back at the lower price and returns it to the owner who returns his collateral. If enough shorts are sold, the result can be to drive down the market price. As Dr. Roberts noted, this represents an absolutely massive amount of gold... Consider the 500 tons of paper gold sold on Friday. Begin with the question, how many ounces is 500 tons? There are 2,000 pounds to one ton. 500 tons equal 1,000,000 pounds. There are 16 ounces to one pound, which comes to 16 million ounces of short sales on Friday. Who has 16 million ounces of gold? At the beginning gold price that day of about $1,550, that comes to $24,800,000,000. Who has that kind of money? A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE NEED TO BE CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATED. Meanwhile, many are considering this takedown of gold to be an ominous sign that another major financial crisis may be heading our way. Just remember what happened back in 2008.  As Zero Hedge noted on Monday, the price of gold suddenly plunged 21 percent in July 2008.  That was just a couple of months before the U.S. stock market crashed in the fall...

 

 

El-Erian's Summary: "Virtually Every Market Is Trading At Very Artificial Levels""In order for central banks to achieve their ultimate economic objective - which is growth and jobs - they have to push investors into taking more risk than is justified," is the somewhat chilling warning that PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian gives in this excellent interview with the WSJ. "Central banks are operating through the wealth effect and animal spirits," El-Erian says peeling back the truth onion, as they prop up asset prices to "artificial levels, in virtually every market." Worries over the central bankers of the world withdrawing easy money policies too early are "unwarranted," he notes, adding that he suspects, "they will most likely stay too long and they will consciously make that mistake." Critically, though, he sends a message that appears to fit with many of our recent discussions (most recently here) that "if these levels arent validated by the fundamentals, then investors will get hurt."

Even if in jest, an exercise in sarcasm, or sophistry at its worst, such position is so absolutely uncivilized and in such poor taste and without any intellectual foundation that I must wonder how MarketWatch hasn’t really ‘watched’. I want to know what wars farrell’s fought in, or how many of his own children have died in same. I’m staunchly against communism which I’ve made no secret; but if farrell’s specious reasoning was correct (it’s not, economically and otherwise, but quite Orwellian), I honestly would then say, ‘Let capitalism die’! }

Europe's Bank Lending Heralds Downward Spiral Yesterday’s quarterly bank lending survey capped off a series of indicators with a bleak message for the Eurozone economy. Almost all signs suggest that Europe continues to spiral downwards. The lending survey, compiled by the European Central Bank (ECB), is one of the best leading indicators of all because it tells us about the critical credit link in the economy. In the Eurozone today, tight credit is part of a vicious circle that includes business retrenchment, weakening demand, job cuts and falling incomes. And the scariest thing about the circle is that it feeds on itself – each part reinforces the other parts. It won’t go on forever, but we need to see some improvement in the leading edge of the economy before we can expect it to end. As far as the most telling leading indicators, those that can be directly manipulated through monetary policy are the only ones pointing to a possible end to the vicious circle.  In other words: interest rates and equity markets. Until we signs of strength in at least one or two of the leading indicators discussed below, bet on the recession to continue.

 

 

Central Banks Join The Herd, Openly Buying Stocks In Record Amounts When tin-foil-hat wearing digital dickweed blogs first suggested that Central Banks were actively buying stocks, the mainstream media scoffed at the idiocy and un-independence of such an idea. However, it is clear the central banks themselves are now not only actively buying stocks but are activley encouraging it and propagandizing their efforts to lever this last policy tool left in the toolbox. As Bloomberg reports, 23% of central bankers surveyed said the bank owns shares and plans to buy more. From the Bank of Japan to the Bank of Israel and with the SNB and the Czech National Bank now at over 10% allocation of reserves to stocks, is it any wonder there is an inexorable bid under the 'free' markets. Rick Santelli is rightly concerned that, "there is a danger that everyone is loaded in the same direction," asking what happens if all the Central Bank pump-priming does not work, given these equity valuations, "who gets caught holding the bag? What chairs are left when the music stops?"

 

Worst Spanish Unemployment Ever Extends Europe's Best Stock Run In 9 Months The EuroStoxx 600 - one of Europe's broadest equity index - is up almost 5% in the last 5 days, the best such run since July of last year and is trading close to levels not seen since June 2008. Of course it is we hear you scream, Spanish unemployment is worst and getting worster, the core economy (Germany) is fading rapidly, Italian growth forecasts are being slashed, Europe's growth forecasts are being significantly lowered; have no fear Draghi is here (with what? we implore?). While stocks in Europe were off to the races once again, for the second day in a row, Spanish and Italian bond spreads leaked wider (after their record-breaking run recently). EURUSD also took a big stumble today, from around 1.31 to below 1.30 on Goldman's note on ECB's albeit 'cosmetic' rate cut.

Overnight Ramp Driven By Higher EURUSD On Plethora Of Negative European News  A peculiar trading session, in which the usual overnight futures levitation has not been led by the BOJ-inspired USDJPY rise (even as the Nikkei225 rose another 0.6% more than offset by the Shanghai Composite drop of 0.86%), which actually has slid all session briefly dipping under 99 moments ago, but by the EURUSD, which saw a bout of buying around 5 am Eastern, just after news hit that the UK would avoid a triple dip recession with Q1 GDP rising 0.3% versus expectations of a 0.1% rise, up from a -0.3% in Q4 (more in Goldman note below). Since the news that the BOE will likely delay engaging in more QE (just in time for the arrival of Carney) is hardly EUR positive we look at the other news hitting around that time, such as Finland saying that the euro can survive in Cyprus exits the Eurozone, and that Merkel has rejected standardized bank guarantees for the foreseeable future, and we are left scratching our heads what is the reason for the brief burst in the Euro.

On The Unsustainable Losses Of The Italian Banking System While not in the throes of a real estate crash, Italian banks are seeing a sharp deterioration in the quality of their assets. And while Italy's bond spreads head back to pre-crisis lows, as BofAML's Alberto Cordara notes, the ongoing pace and depth of asset quality deterioration further erodes the banks' ability to help Italy on the way back to growth. Critically, the lack of demand for banks' NPLs suggests that asset valuations may be overstated, thereby posing doubts on the real solvency status of Italian banks (i.e. they are not being totally truthful about their balance sheet assets); which explicitly means more capital is needed and soon. The rate of acceleration in newly impaired loans is staggering as it appears the current recession, driven by falling internal demand, is more insidious than the export-led crisis in 2009. And no matter how the Italian banks try to differentiate their bad loan composition, it is an ugly picture. The Italian House Price Index (IPAB) decreased 4.6% yoy as a result of tightening credit conditions, new property taxes and a difficult macro environment; and is unlikely to provide any assistance any time soon. Based on losses and capital, ISP appears best positioned, and BMPS worst - and do not expect a new LTRO to help as this is "not a normal economic downswing."

 

Abenomics Leads To Worst Core Deflation In Three Years Six months in and a 30% devaluation in the JPY and it would appear Abenomics is not having quite the desired effect. With an oh-so-exciting 2% inflation target that we are sure will be appearing any second now, Nationwide CPI just printed -0.9% YoY - its worst (most deflationary) levels since April 2010, missing expectations by the most in 10 months! But wasn't Abenomics supposed to be... inflationary? Well it is in one place - Utilities costs are the only sub-index higher YoY (by 2.3%) - that's a good thing, right?

Visualizing The Dead-Weight On The Global Economic Recovery Youth unemployment has become a worrying phenomenon with 74.6 million young people unemployed globally in 2012. Rising youth unemployment has a detrimental effect on economic growth, political and social stability as well as on the ability to exploit the potential demographic dividend. Young people who are neither in employment nor in education or training (NEET) are a particular social concern.

And as you will read about below, child hunger is absolutely exploding in Greece right now.  Some families are literally trying to survive on pasta and ketchup.  But don't think for a moment that it can't happen here.Sadly, the truth is that child hunger is already rising very rapidly in our poverty-stricken citiesNever before have we had so many Americans unable to take care of themselves. Unfortunately, more poor families slip through the cracks with each passing day, and these are supposedly times in which we are experiencing an "economic recovery".  So what are things going to look like when the next major economic downturn strikes?

The Takedown Of Gold A Sign That The Entire Global Financial System Is About To Crash ?

http://albertpeia.com/globalfinancialsystemcrash.htm

 

‘…So who is behind all of this orchestration?  Well, according to Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, it is actually the Federal Reserve... The Federal Reserve began its April Fools assault on gold by sending the word to brokerage houses, which quickly went out to clients, that hedge funds and other large investors were going to unload their gold positions and that clients should get out of the precious metal market prior to these sales. As this inside information was the governments own strategy, individuals cannot be prosecuted for acting on it. By this operation, the Federal Reserve, a totally corrupt entity, was able to combine individual flight with institutional flight. Bullion prices took a big hit, and bullishness departed from the gold and silver markets. The flow of dollars into bullion, which threatened to become a torrent, was stopped. In fact, Dr. Roberts says that former Goldman Sachs trader Andrew Maguire is reporting that the Fed orchestrated the dumping of 500 tons of naked gold shorts into the market on Friday... According to Andrew Maguire, on Friday, April 12, the Feds agents hit the market with 500 tons of naked shorts. Normally, a short is when an investor thinks the price of a stock or commodity is going to fall. He wants to sell the item in advance of the fall, pocket the money, and then buy the item back after it falls in price, thus making money on the short sale. If he doesnt have the item, he borrows it from someone who does, putting up cash collateral equal to the current market price. Then he sells the item, waits for it to fall in price, buys it back at the lower price and returns it to the owner who returns his collateral. If enough shorts are sold, the result can be to drive down the market price. As Dr. Roberts noted, this represents an absolutely massive amount of gold... Consider the 500 tons of paper gold sold on Friday. Begin with the question, how many ounces is 500 tons? There are 2,000 pounds to one ton. 500 tons equal 1,000,000 pounds. There are 16 ounces to one pound, which comes to 16 million ounces of short sales on Friday. Who has 16 million ounces of gold? At the beginning gold price that day of about $1,550, that comes to $24,800,000,000. Who has that kind of money? A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE NEED TO BE CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATED. Meanwhile, many are considering this takedown of gold to be an ominous sign that another major financial crisis may be heading our way. Just remember what happened back in 2008.  As Zero Hedge noted on Monday, the price of gold suddenly plunged 21 percent in July 2008.  That was just a couple of months before the U.S. stock market crashed in the fall...

 

 

El-Erian's Summary: "Virtually Every Market Is Trading At Very Artificial Levels""In order for central banks to achieve their ultimate economic objective - which is growth and jobs - they have to push investors into taking more risk than is justified," is the somewhat chilling warning that PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian gives in this excellent interview with the WSJ. "Central banks are operating through the wealth effect and animal spirits," El-Erian says peeling back the truth onion, as they prop up asset prices to "artificial levels, in virtually every market."

MarketWatch Paul B. Farrell  America needs a new war Commentary: Any one of these 10 flash points could trigger it, saving capitalism from itself. { I’m really disappointed by this article and will no longer follow or post links to farrell’s articles. Even if in jest, an exercise in sarcasm, or sophistry at its worst, such position is so absolutely uncivilized and in such poor taste and without any intellectual foundation that I must wonder how MarketWatch hasn’t really ‘watched’. I want to know what wars farrell’s fought in, or how many of his own children have died in same. I’m staunchly against communism which I’ve made no secret; but if farrell’s specious reasoning was correct (it’s not, economically and otherwise, but quite Orwellian), I honestly would then say, ‘Let capitalism die’! }

America The Fallen: 24 Signs That Our Once Proud Cities Are Turning Into Poverty-Stricken Hellholes What is happening to you America?  Once upon a time, the United States was a place where free enterprise thrived and the greatest cities that the world had ever seen sprouted up from coast to coast.  Good jobs were plentiful and a manufacturing boom helped fuel the rise of the largest and most vibrant middle class in the history of the planet.  Cities such as Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Baltimore were all teeming with economic activity and the rest of the globe looked on our economic miracle with a mixture of wonder and envy.  But now look at us.  Our once proud cities are being transformed into poverty-stricken hellholes. We are in the midst of a long-term economic collapse that is eating away at us like cancer, and things are going to get a lot worse than this.  So if you still live in a prosperous area of the country, don't laugh at what is happening to others.  What is happening to them will be coming to your area soon enough.    http://albertpeia.com/americanhellholes.htm

 

The Retirement Gamble  If youve been watching any commercial television lately, you are well aware that the financial services industry is very busy running expensive ads imploring us to worry about our retirement futures. Open a new account today, they say. They are not wrong that we should be doing something: America is facing a retirement crisis. One in three Americans has no retirement savings at all. One in two reports that they cant save enough. On top of that, we are living longer, and health care costs, as we all know, are increasing. But, as Martin Smith found when investigating the retirement planning and mutual funds industries in Frontline documentary 'The Retirement Gamble', those advertisements are imploring us to start saving for one simple reason. Retirement is big business - and very profitable.

 

Italy's Monte Paschi Got A Sovereign Bailout To Avoid Being Corzined Those who think back to November 2011 will recall that it wasn't Jon Corzine's wrong way bet on Italian bonds that ultimately led to the bankruptcy of MF Global, well it did in part, but the real Chapter 11 cause was the sudden liquidity shortage due to the way the trades were structured as a Repo To Maturity, where the bank had hoped to collect the carry from the bond coupons, thereby offsetting the nominal repo cost of funding. The kind of deal which is the very definition of collecting pennies in front of a steamroller, as while the funding cost may be tiny and the capital allocated negligible (due to the nearly infinite implied leverage involved when using repo), when the underlying instrument crashes, and the originating counterparty has to fund a massive variation margin shortfall, that is when the shadow transformation cascade triggers an immediate liquidity crisis, which can result in liquidation cascade in a few brief hours. It happened with MF Global, it happened with Lehman too. And, we now learn, it also happened with Italy's most troubled and oldest bank, Monte Paschi (BMPS), whose endless bailouts, political intrigue, depoit runs, and cooked books have all been covered extensively here previously.

 

Guest Post: Abnormalcy Bias The political class set in motion the eventual obliteration of our economic system with the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913. Placing the fate of the American people in the hands of a powerful cabal of unaccountable greedy wealthy elitist bankers was destined to lead to poverty for the many, riches for the connected crony capitalists, debasement of the currency, endless war, and ultimately the decline and fall of an empire. The 100 year downward spiral began gradually but has picked up steam in the last sixteen years, as the exponential growth model, built upon ever increasing levels of debt and an ever increasing supply of cheap oil, has proven to be unsustainable and unstable. Those in power are frantically using every tool at their disposal to convince Boobus Americanus they have everything under control and the system is operating normally. Nothing could be further from the truth.

 

US Mint Gold Sales Surge To Highest Since 2009

 

On China's Rising Hatred Of The Japanese, And Why The BoJ Just Doesn't Get It It is becoming increasingly evident that Japan is attempting to use monetary policy to paper over the cracks of imploding foreign policy decisions. The 'storm in a teacup' that has brought China and Japan into fierce rhetorical battles over the Senkaku (or Diaoyu) Islands is having far more deep-seated impacts on the people of the two nations - and implicitly their buying habits. Unfortunately for the embattled Japanese - they are the ones in need far more than vice versa. As Bloomberg reports, discrimination against Japanese is increasingly common in China, as the head of China's Honda plant notes, hes "never worked in a more hostile place." The dispute over the islands is raising resentment with bars and restaurants showings signs at the door saying, 'Japanese are barred from entering.' "Wherever I go, like department stores or in taxis, people ask me whether I am Japanese," and the reaction can be frosty. Simply put, no matter how cheap the Japanese make their cars by explicitly devaluing their currency, the largest auto market in the world (that of the Chinese) will not be buying; summed up rather bleakly, "I dont really care about [car] brands,... but there are cars I wont buy -- the Japanese ones. The reason is simple: Diaoyu."

 

Oil Surges Most In 5 Months With eMini Volume Near Lows Of Year After touching multi-year highs amid the exuberance of liquidity sloshing around the world, Oil became too glaring a concern and two weeks of suppression took the only Central-Bank-'Governor' to much more comfortable levels. But, the last week has seen the biggest 5-day jump in WTI in 8 months and today the biggest jump in 5 months. It seems the 'Brent Vigilantes' are back. Equities traded in a very narrow range after yesterday's #HashCrash and eMini volumes were among the lowest of the year. An early afternoon ramp, aided by EURUSD, failed at overnight highs and collapsed back to VWAP as the machines were in charge once again. Treasuries rallied from early morning high yields ending the day lower in yield (TSY yields down 1-2bps on the week against a 30 point rally in the S&P!!) Durable goods dismal data just reinforced Europe's donut and stirred the bad-is-good mantra as Trannies outperformed, but interestingly once again the Dow was unable to break above pre-Boston levels. FX markets were relatively calm for once as gold, silver, and copper all gained. VIX ended up for the day by 0.25vols at 13.75%.

 

Another WTF Chart Forget the papered over cracks of manufactured EPS 'beats', or the talking-head anecdotes of one or two companies chosen to represent the 'earnings season' visibility. This chart from S&P shows the simple reality that operating earnings per share has been growing at an ever-decreasing pace since QE began. Of course, just as they were saying in June 2011, the next few quarters will see this growth re-accelerate...

 

Here Is Who Said AAPL Would Hit $1000 Any... Minute... Now How much changes in six months. Last September, everyone, including the hotdog vendor, the shoeshine boy and the kitchen sink, was screaming that AAPL $1000 is just around the corner, and cartoon analysts named for state capitals were coming up with idiotic price targets (hint: $1111) that only intellectually-stunted dyslexics could love. Six months later, the former growth company (and now levered-divdend value play) can barely break above $300. So, just to set the record straight, here, courtesy of marketsqueeze.com, is a small sample of the penguins who could barely outscream each other on the way to a "certain" $1 trillion market cap. Ooops.

 

Fisker - The New Solyndra: Obama Kept Pumping Taxpayer Cash As Company Was Failing It appears, once again, that the government's inept approach to spending 'other people's money' has blown up in their face. As HotAir.com reports, newly obtained documents show the Obama administration was warned as early as 2010 that electric car maker Fisker Automotive Inc. was not meeting milestones set up for a half-billion dollar government loan, nearly a year before U.S. officials froze the loan. Just as with Solyndra, Congress seemed convinced to spend billions of taxpayer money 'investing' in green-tech startups - only to lose everything. Simply put, in our humble opinion, the pattern is explained by the 'monopoly money' perspective we suspect these funds are viewed as in light of Bernanke's inexorable funding of the government's largesse. None other than the great Joe Biden reveled in the news in 2009 that Fisker would re-open a closed GM plant creating jobs, jobs, jobs; it never completed the task and never created one job. When the money isn't yours, 'investing' public funds is oh so easy and it appears, with zero consequence for the decision makers - again. But this story is not over yet, as Fisker heads to Congress looking for the right "financial and stretgic resources" once again.

 

US Business Cycle Index Plunges Most In 22 Months While broad US macro-economic data has been sliding rapidly of late - now at equivalently bad levels as we saw in August of last year's 'swoon', we have often seen 'survey-based' data provide some fillip to the hard-data deterioration. Hope and faith that recovery is just around the corner provides just enough to hang new all-time high stock prices on. But... in the last two weeks, the surprises from US business cycle and survey-based indicators have plunged. In fact they have dropped at a pace only matched by 2011's Q2 slump that required global coordinated central bank intervention to save it. Perhaps even more interesting from the chart below, is the lower highs being made in these indicators of the business cycle - which confirm the fading reality of any spillover-effect from QE.

 

Rwanda Is Spain Even As PIMCO/Blackrock Cut European Exposure When Spanish bonds traded at yields above 7% last Summer, the world's central banks went into a whirlwind to proclaim that these levels did not represent reality (in spite of the depression-era style economic data the nation was spewing). Fast forward nine months, the data is worse and getting worserer but yields - through the guiding hand of Draghi, the self-referential buying of domestic banks, and the BoJ's risk-is-no-object reach for anything non-JPY denominated - have crushed to 4.3% pre-crisis levels. Meanwhile, a few thousand miles south, the nation of Rwanda is issuing its first international debt today at a 7% yield (to the Japanese we are sure) as over 90% of the world's sovereign bond markets are at or near all-time low yields. But, the smart money is leaving, as PIMCO notes, "this central bank-inspired rally has made the markets expensive... relative to fundamentals"

Work On Wall Street? Here's Why You Should Hate HFT - Santelli's Take On Vacuum Tubes Yesterday's #Hash-Crash has brought the tough reality of just how entirely mechanized the so-called equity 'markets' have become in the US to every mom-and-pop who watch nightly news. Mainstream media is even discussing the correlations between JPY carry trades and equity indices now as CNBC's Rick Santelli notes "the high-speed casinos our markets have become". All things we have discussed for years. But there is one potentially fascinating insight from the ongoing robotization of the TBTF banking sector - Wall Street jobs are now at an all-time record low. Once again, it would appear, that cost-cutting demands (and a government backstop and huge subsidy no matter how bad the things are that you do) trumps any job creation. As Joe Saluzzi explains to CNBC's Rick Santelli in this excellent clip, the "liquidity is fickle" - the fake-tweet was a mere catalyst, he added, "we see these flash-crashes every day." The benefits for the major exchanges far exceed the conflicts of interest of these so-called "market-makers" who front-run their clients millisecond by millisecond.

 

European "Bad Is Good" Stock Exuberance Continues But Bonds Reverse Gains Another day, another set of horrible European data that merely stokes the idiocy of bad is good front-running of an ECB rate cut next week. We remain somewhat skeptical that a rate-cut will actually do anything here for this 'fragmented' continent when simple old 'free-money' is not fixing anything. But anyway... European stocks surged ahead again - even after yesterday's best day in 9 months. The difference today... European sovereign bonds deteriorated quite notably with Italian spreads wider by 10bps (despite its equity market's strength reasoned on the possibility of a new PM). Spain and Italy are up 6% and 5% respectively this week, and their bond spreads -32bps and 21bps respectively. We are sure this will end well. No pressure, Mr. Draghi...

 

CNBC Viewership Plunges To Eight Year Lows

 

Guest Post: Why Krugman and the Keynesians Are Lackeys for the Neofeudal Debtocracy The heart and soul of the Keynesian Cargo Cult is the dogma that the cure for all economic ailments is more aggregate demand, i.e. consumption. The Keynesians' fanatic faith in boosting consumption would be merely childishly naive if it didn't directly support a parasitic neofeudal debt-serfdom. Sadly, Krugman and his fellow cultists' single-minded parroting of "aggregate demand" makes them well-paid lackeys and toadies for an extractive neofeudal-neocolonial debtocracy. If you set out to design a system that would implode with devastating consequences, it would be the Keynesian Cargo Cult's neofeudal financialization debtocracy. All the incentives favor increasing debt, misallocation of capital and mindless consumption, and all the disincentives weaken investments in productivity and the creative destruction of malinvestments and subsidies to favored cartels.

Apple Earnings - The Hangover While immediately after earnings, we were treated to a plethora of self-justifying talking heads exclaiming how wonderful the worst news was, how positive the future looked, how leveraged dividends were great, and how awesome iPhones 5S sales will be inevitably; it seems the market (which one bright chap noted 'must know something' when the stock was soaring) is now testing its recent lows... The selling appears to have started once Tim Cook began pitching the future like a European politician and bitching about the competition as opposed to discussing the current state of affairs. AAPL has dropped almost 9% from its overnight highs and is near 17 month lows.

 

March Durable Goods Implode, Plunge -5.7%; CapEx Recovery Put On Indefinite Hiatus So much for the great American CapEx recovery. Moments ago the Census department released the March Durable Goods report, thanks to which one can lay to rest any hope of a recovery in the US economy, with the headline number printing an absolutely abysmal -5.7%, an epic swing from the +5.7% (revised lower of course to 4.3%) in February, and confirming the recovery is dead and buried. Although we are confident the propaganda spin is just waiting to be unleashed: after all it is possible that March weather was both too hot and too cold, thereby making the number completely irrelevant - after all it is always the inclement weather's fault when the economy does not act as predicted by some economist's DSGE model of reality and stuff.

Overnight Summary, In Which We Read That The German ZEW Miss Is Blamed On "Winter Weather" It is one thing for the market to no longer pay attention to economic fundamentals or newsflow (with the exception of newsflow generated by fake tweets of course), but when the mainstream media turns full retard and comes up with headlines such as this: "German Ifo Confidence Declines After Winter Chilled Recovery" to spin the key overnight event, the German IFO Business climate (which dropped from 106.2 to 104.4, missing expectations of 106.2 of course) one just has to laugh. In the artcile we read that "German business confidence fell for a second month in April after winter weather hindered the recovery in Europes largest economy... We still expect there to have been a good rebound in the first quarter, although there is a big question mark about the weather, said Anatoli Annenkov, senior economist at Societe Generale SA in London." We wonder how long Bloomberg looked for some junior idiot who agreed to be memorialized for posterity with the preceding moronic soundbite because this really is beyond ridiculous (and no, it's not snow in the winter that is causing yet another "swoon" in indicators like the IFO, the ZEW and all other metrics as we patiently explained yesterday so even a 5 year old caveman financial reported would get it).

Farrell  America needs a new war Commentary: Any one of these 10 flash points could trigger it, saving capitalism from itself. { I’m really disappointed by this article and will no longer follow or post links to farrell’s articles. Even if in jest, an exercise in sarcasm, or sophistry at its worst, such position is so absolutely uncivilized and in such poor taste and without any intellectual foundation that I must wonder how MarketWatch hasn’t really ‘watched’. I want to know what wars farrell’s fought in, or how many of his own children have died in same. I’m staunchly against communism which I’ve made no secret; but if farrell’s specious reasoning was correct (it’s not, economically and otherwise, but quite Orwellian), I honestly would then say, ‘Let capitalism die’! }

Visualizing Life In America From 1983 To Today A lot has changed in 30 years - from Miami Vice and Flashdance to Hunger Games and Taylor Swift; but away from the end of legwarmers (and rolled-up jacket sleeves), GDP has more than tripled from $3.5 trillion as household incomes, home prices, and employment have shifted dramatically but not equally...  http://albertpeia.com/lifeinus1983tonow.htm

 

Bond Bubble, Or Rational Expectations? Visualizing 220 Years Of Treasury Yields Near multi-generational low bond yields, driven at least in part (and some think in full) by the undeniably large asset purchase program (Quantitative Easing (QE)) that the US Federal Reserve has been implementing in one form or another since the 2008 Global Financial Crisis (GFC), have pushed the question of whether or not the bond market is a bubble to the front of many people's minds. However, while the chart below of over 220 years of 10-year treasury yields shows the extraordinarily low bonds yields, they have resulted from many fundamental and rational drivers (expectations of weak economic growth and safe haven flows amid the European sovereign debt crisis) in addition to Fed purchases. So while bond prices look expensive, there is nothing particularly bubbly about the bond market today.

 

Guest Post: Physical Gold vs. Paper Gold: The Ultimate Disconnect The paper price of gold crashed to $1,325 in the wake of this huge trade. It is now hovering around $1,400. Our first reaction is to suggest that this is only an aberration, and that the fundamentals of the depreciating value of paper currencies will eventually take the price of gold much higher, making it a buying opportunity. But what we can't predict is whether big players might again deliver short-term downturns to the market. The momentum in the futures market can make swings surprisingly larger than the fundamentals of currency valuation would suggest; but the fundamentals will drive the long-term market more than these short-term events. The fight between pricing from the physical market for bullion and that from the "paper market" of futures is showing signs of discrimination and disagreement, as the physical market is booming, while prices set by futures are seemingly pressured to go nowhere. In short, we think this is a strong buying opportunity.

 

Guest Post: America: #1 In Fear, Stress, Anger, Divorce, Obesity, Anti-Depressants, Etc. The United States is a deeply unhappy place.  We are a nation that is absolutely consumed by fear, stress, anger and depression.  It isn't just our economy that is falling apart - the very fabric of society is starting to come apart at the seams and it is because of what is happening to us on the inside. We are overwhelmed by anxiety, and much of the time the ways that we choose to deal with those emotions lead to some very self-destructive behaviors.  Americans have experienced a standard of living far beyond the wildest dreams of most societies throughout human history, and yet we are an absolutely miserable people.  Why is this?  Why is America #1 in so many negative categories? There is vast material wealth all around us.  So why can't we be happy?

 

AAPL Beats Revenues And EPS As Margin Declines, Guides Lower, Boosts Buyback And Dividend Apple is out with Q2 results which are hardly inspiring. Revenue and sales beat, but margins missed and guidance is weak:The good news: Q2 Revenue: $43.6 billion, Exp. $42.3 billion Q2 EPS: $10.09, Exp $9.98 And the not so good news:  Q2 margin weaker than expected 37.5%, Exp. 38.5% And Q3 revenue seen at $33.5-$35.5 billion far below the estimate consensus $38.4. Remember: AAPL no longer sandbags the future For those looking for a special dividend you won't see it, instead will have to be satisfied with a buyback expansion by $50 billion (eventually), and an increase of 15% in the dividend. Ironically, cash cow AAPL just announced it will raise debt (and got rated by various rating agencies) in order to fund its cash outflow. In other words, it is slowly but surely becoming a utility. So much for the near infinite growth projections.

 

Horrible News Is Great News, Lifting Stocks To Just Shy Of All Time HighsAs we tweeted somewhat prophetically this morning when futures were still modestly red: And sure enough, equities close at the highs of the day (up over 1.5% from the overnight lows) and back near all-time highs once again. Ignoring the well-discussed elephant-in-the-room of the fake-tweet-based-flash-crash which exposed all that is unholy about the financial markets (i.e. coordinated HFT algos across every futures-market risk-asset); we note that shorts were heavily squeezed today, grossly outperforming the indices and JPY carry trades pulled stocks up tick-for-tick. Bonds sold off about 8bps higher in yield from overnight lows on the terrible data but yields ended the day only modestly higher (far removed from equity exuberance). The Dow, intriguingly, closed perfectly unchanged to the moment the Boston news hit last week, but the Russell was the day's big winner...

 

Guest Post: We've Dug A Pretty Damn Big Hole For Ourselves  Recovery has become the shibboleth constantly invoked by people running things after the crisis of 2008. Unfortunately, no such recovery was underway. It was papered over by the twin Federal Reserve policies of quantitative easing and financial repression a combination of the nations central bank loaning vast new amounts of money into existence at ultra-low interest rates (hardly any interest to pay back) and creating steady monetary inflation to reduce the burden of existing debt by shrinking the dollar value of the debt. The program was a racket in the sense that it was fundamentally dishonest. The presumed purpose of these shenanigans from the point of view of the Federal Reserve and the White House was to keep the financial system stable and afloat, and therefore to keep normal American daily life going. Unfortunately, it was based on the unreal assumption that the financial norms of, say, 2006 could be ginned back up again, and this premise was just inconsistent with the reality of a post-Peak-Cheap-Oil world. Unfortunately, there was no organized counter-view to this wishful thinking anywhere within the boundaries of the political establishment.

SaxoBank CEO: "We Must Re-Evaluate The European Union" Despite a very positive starting point for European citizens' view of the EU; over time, this support and optimism evaporated. Massive central bureaucracy, European arrogance and lack of respect for the independence, history and culture of the national states slowly destroyed confidence in the project. When we look back, we must admit that it took too long to recognise what the European project really was. But we also have to state that this recognition came much later to many others and some of our career politicians obviously still do not get it. The big question is really whether the EU is more the problem than the solution in the current crisis. The euro has shown its true colours and anyone with a rational view of the world sees the currency collaboration as a historic failure that can lead to even further fatal consequences for Europe and the continents competitiveness vis-ŕ-vis the rest of the world. There is one thing, and only one thing, that can rescue the euro. That is a much more far-reaching integration between the euro countries; a common financial policy, joint debt issuing, a willingness to pay enormous transfers from the rich to the poor countries or, more specifically, from Germany to all the other member states. That is a possible route, but not a desirable one. The time has come to do everything to ensure that Europeans understand what the future perspectives of this choice are and that Europeans understand the importance of this choice.

Guest Post: The Global Status Quo Strategy: Do More Of What Has Failed Spectacularly A key goal of propaganda is to mystify and obscure the Power Elites' real quandary and agenda. For example: we're just trying to help you out here, folks, by inflating another "wealth effect" bubble that will make you feel more prosperous. You're gonna love the warm fuzzy feeling of a return to the good times, even if you own zip-zero-nada in the way of productive assets. Or: we're raising your taxes and expropriating your money via inflation to stabilize the system that benefits you. (And yes, you may kneel and kiss Janet Yellen's ring.) The current level of mystification is truly extraordinary. But fortunately, we own a demystification device that scrubs out the mystification, leaving only stark, unforgiving reality. The global Status Quo--the U.S., the E.U., China, Japan, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Spain, et al.--has only one choice: do more of what has failed spectacularly.

 

March New Home Sales As Expected While Average Home Price Plunges To Nine Month Low It is only logical that after last month's New Home Sales miss (exp. 420, printed 411K), which sent the market higher, today's tiniest of beats in New Home Sales, which printed at 417K, on expectations of 416K, would also send the market higher. The total months of supply indicated was 4.4, the same as February, and well above the 4.0 from January. Unnoticed in the release was that the January housing data was revised higher from 431K to 445K, meaning last month's drop would have been even more acute (-7.6% instead of -4.6%), but who cares about such things as data chronology now that the headline effect is long gone.  All that matters is that the trend is the mainstream media's friend, which can report new home sales have grown once more... if only back to levels last seen in April of 2010 when the same number was 422K. Was the data actually meaningful on a long-term basis? We will let readers decide on their own after one look at the chart below. Finally, and this will not be mentioned anywhere, the average New Home price plunged from $310,000 to $279,900 -  the lowest since June of 2012. One can only imagine the step down in quality that was required to make up in volume what was "lost" in price.

 

MF Global Trustee Sues Jon Corzine For Firm's Collapse Just about a year and a half after the bankruptcy filing of MF Global, the first real lawsuit that directly names former MF Global (and Goldman) CEO Jon Corzine and his cronies, has hit the docket with MFG Holdings bankruptcy trustee Louis Freeh as plaintiff. The complaint: breach of fiduciary duty. Of course, when one is a bundler for the president, such trivial concepts as duty to anyone else, be it fiduciary or otherwise, naturally does not exist.

 

Daily US Opening News And Market Re-Cap: April 23 Yet another round of less than impressive macroeconomic data from China and Eurozone failed to deter equity bulls and heading into the North American crossover, stocks in Europe are seen higher, with tech and financials as best performers. The disappointing PMI data from Germany, where the Services component fell below the expansionary 50, underpins the view that the ECB will likely cut the benchmark interest rates next month and may even indicate that it is prepared to provide additional support via LTROs. As a result, the EONIA curve bull flattened and the 2/10s German spread flattened by almost 3bps to levels not seen since June 2012. In turn, Bund future hit YTD peak at 146.77 and the next technical level to note is 146.89, 1st June 2012 high. However it is worth noting that the upside traction is also being supported by large coupon payments and redemptions from France, the second highest net market inflow for 2013.

 

Goldman Closes Gold Short We have closed our recommendation to short COMEX Gold, as prices moved above the stop at $1,400/toz. We have exited the trade significantly below our original target of $1,450/toz, for a potential gain of 10.4%. The move since initiation was surprisingly rapid, likely exacerbated by the break of well-flagged technical support levels. Our bias is to expect further declines in gold prices on the combination of continued ETF outflows as conviction in holding gold continues to wane as well as our economists forecast for a reacceleration in US growth later this year.

Latest Global Economic Slowdown Confirmed After Disappointing Chinese, German PMI Data If there was any debate about the global economic contraction, driven largely due to pundits confusing manipulated stock market levitation with this anachronistic thing called the "economy" and fundamentals for the fourth year in a row, all doubts were removed after this morning's manufacturing PMI data out of China, which as reported previously was a big disappointment (sending the Composite firmly into the red for the year down 2.57% to 2184.5) only to be followed by just as disappointing manufacturing and services PMI data out of Germany, which tumbled from 49 and 50.9 to 47.9 and 49.2, respectively, missing estimates of 49.and 51. The composite German PMI tumbled to a 6-month low of 48.8 as a result, meaning the European economic deterioration is just getting started, and at the worst possible time for Merkel several months ahead of her reelection campaign. The end result was a miss in the blended Eurozone Mfg PMI, which dropped from 46.8 to 46.5, even as the less relevant Services component eaked out a small gain from 46.4 to 46.6, on the back of a dead cat bounce in French economic indicators. Bottom line: a contraction in both European manufacturing and services for the 15th consecutive month. Some "recovery."

The Takedown Of Gold A Sign That The Entire Global Financial System Is About To Crash ?

http://albertpeia.com/globalfinancialsystemcrash.htm

 

‘…So who is behind all of this orchestration?  Well, according to Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, it is actually the Federal Reserve... The Federal Reserve began its April Fools assault on gold by sending the word to brokerage houses, which quickly went out to clients, that hedge funds and other large investors were going to unload their gold positions and that clients should get out of the precious metal market prior to these sales. As this inside information was the governments own strategy, individuals cannot be prosecuted for acting on it. By this operation, the Federal Reserve, a totally corrupt entity, was able to combine individual flight with institutional flight. Bullion prices took a big hit, and bullishness departed from the gold and silver markets. The flow of dollars into bullion, which threatened to become a torrent, was stopped. In fact, Dr. Roberts says that former Goldman Sachs trader Andrew Maguire is reporting that the Fed orchestrated the dumping of 500 tons of naked gold shorts into the market on Friday... According to Andrew Maguire, on Friday, April 12, the Feds agents hit the market with 500 tons of naked shorts. Normally, a short is when an investor thinks the price of a stock or commodity is going to fall. He wants to sell the item in advance of the fall, pocket the money, and then buy the item back after it falls in price, thus making money on the short sale. If he doesnt have the item, he borrows it from someone who does, putting up cash collateral equal to the current market price. Then he sells the item, waits for it to fall in price, buys it back at the lower price and returns it to the owner who returns his collateral. If enough shorts are sold, the result can be to drive down the market price. As Dr. Roberts noted, this represents an absolutely massive amount of gold... Consider the 500 tons of paper gold sold on Friday. Begin with the question, how many ounces is 500 tons? There are 2,000 pounds to one ton. 500 tons equal 1,000,000 pounds. There are 16 ounces to one pound, which comes to 16 million ounces of short sales on Friday. Who has 16 million ounces of gold? At the beginning gold price that day of about $1,550, that comes to $24,800,000,000. Who has that kind of money? A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE NEED TO BE CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATED. Meanwhile, many are considering this takedown of gold to be an ominous sign that another major financial crisis may be heading our way. Just remember what happened back in 2008.  As Zero Hedge noted on Monday, the price of gold suddenly plunged 21 percent in July 2008.  That was just a couple of months before the U.S. stock market crashed in the fall...

 

 

El-Erian's Summary: "Virtually Every Market Is Trading At Very Artificial Levels""In order for central banks to achieve their ultimate economic objective - which is growth and jobs - they have to push investors into taking more risk than is justified," is the somewhat chilling warning that PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian gives in this excellent interview with the WSJ. "Central banks are operating through the wealth effect and animal spirits," El-Erian says peeling back the truth onion, as they prop up asset prices to "artificial levels, in virtually every market." Worries over the central bankers of the world withdrawing easy money policies too early are "unwarranted," he notes, adding that he suspects, "they will most likely stay too long and they will consciously make that mistake." Critically, though, he sends a message that appears to fit with many of our recent discussions (most recently here) that "if these levels arent validated by the fundamentals, then investors will get hurt."

17 Unanswered Questions About The Boston Marathon Bombing The Media Is Afraid To Ask

A Major Realignment Of The Markets - Three Hopes And Three Fears The commodity market is saying global growth is slowing. But, there is hope, as BofAML's David Woo notes, the US equity market is saying US consumers are still going strong; and the FX and European sovereign markets seem to believe Mrs. Watanabe is about to embark on a global shopping spree. However, like us, Woo thinks it is unlikely that these markets will all turn out to be right. At the same time, we agree completely with Woo's assessment that markets may be under pricing three macro risks: the ability of Beijing to ease policy aggressively in the face of strong home price appreciation may be limited; the positive wealth effect of US housing recovery may not be enough to offset the contractionary impact of fiscal tightening; Japanese money may stay at home longer than expected. As he concludes, "something will have to give and a major re-alignment of the markets, the odds of which are rising, will probably not be either smooth or benign."

 

Here Is Not Why NFLX Is Soaring After Hours One look at NFLX in the afterhours and one can see the latest and greatest short squeeze in action (courtesy of 14% of the float being short) in a stock which is no stranger to epic moves up as shorts scramble to cover, and just as epic moves to the downside when reality peeks through the hopium clouds every now and then. What is the apparent catalyst? It's not revenue: the firm made $1.02 billion in sales in Q1, precisely as much as Wall Street expected. What the squeeze appears to be focused on instead, is what took the stock into the stratosphere the last time around the management realized it needed to generate some cash as well: rising subscribers, or specifically an increase in total members as of March 31 to 36.3 million, up by 3.05 million in 3 months, and more than some had anticipated. However as there is no free lunch, what is the bottom cash flow line associated with this once again rapid customer expansion? For that we go straight to the company's own definition of Non-GAAP free cash flow which starts with operating cash flow, removes cash associated with DVD content library acquisitions, removes CapEx and nets out other assets. The result...

 

Gold Has Biggest Week In 18 Months; Bonds Ignore Stock Surge Despite CAT explaining to the world that things are nothing like as good as they have said in the past and that their ability to forecast is gone given monetary policy hindrance (paraphrasing), the stock oscillated from pre-open gains to a big drop out of the gate, to a squeeze higher gapping as shorts covered to end the day up 2.75%. We explain this because it perfectly summarizes the market today. Overnight JPY weakness supported risk assets, Italy's Napolitano helped, and into the open we were comfortably green; but the moment the bell wrung the sellers appeared and pushed the S&P down (coincidentally) to last Monday's crash lows. Once Europe closed, the bulls got the green light and stocks surged on light volume running stops above overnight highs; stocks leaked back off their highs though ended comfortably green - a mere 20 S&P points off the intraday lows! While all this tom-foolery was occurring, Treasury yields plunged from their overnight highs and flatlined 1-2bps lower (ignoring equity's after noon exuberance). Commodities were similarly unimpressed as gold and silver held overnight strength but flatlined in the US afternoon as stocks popped. FX was in charge of the rally today as AUDJPY ruled pre-European close and EURUSD ruled the afternoon. VIX compression as protection was unwound helped support risk, but high-yield credit slammed lower into the close.

 

Chinese Sue Fed For Monopoly USD Devaluation In what could to grow into a class action in US courts, a Chinese woman is suing the Federal Reserve after discovering that the real value of the USD250 she put in an account in 2006 had shrunk by 30%. She claims it was the result of the Fed issuing too much money, and as The South China Morning Post reports, her son Li Zhen, the lawyer, called the lawsuit "litigation for the public good". Alleging "abuse of monopoly in issuing currency," the People's Court of Kunming has yet to rule on the litigants' demand that the Fed cease-and-desist from its quantitative easing policy. While this may seem frivolous, there are some interesting points being made that bear watching, as Li notes, since "the Fed is private institution which enjoys monopoly over the issuing of currency, US Dollar holders can sue it for printing too much money."

 

Canada Foils "Terror Plot" Involving Attack On New York To Toronto Railroad; Al-Qaeda Linked Another day, another terrorist attack, this time in Canada, where the mounted police announced they have made arrests relating a "terror plot" planning to attack a New York to Toronto passenger train. And just to keep it really real, the name Al-Qaeda was released a few times. Supposedly this is not the same Al-Qaeda that is linked to the Syrian opposition, which these days is one of America's best friends in the region against Hassad's "evil" regime and so on.CANADA FOILS TERROR ATTACK ON PASSENGER TRAIN POLICE  CANADA POLICE MAKE TWO ARRESTS IN PLOT  CANADA'S RCMP SAYS AL-QAEDA LINKED TO POSSIBLE RAIL ATTACK  The good news is that the maple syrup is safe. For now. RCMP's bilingual press conference below.

 

China PMI Miss Slams JPY-Carry Trades Thanks to a drop into contractionary territory for both New Export Orders and Employment, HSBC's Flash China Manufacturing PMI missed expectations and dropped to its equal lowest 'expansionary' print in six months. Also struggling with pricing power, as the China industry minister notes the country is "clearly facing over-capacity problems," commodity currencies (and the Shanghai Composite) are getting monkey-hammered. As we noted earlier, China is somewhat hamstrung in its ability to save itself this time, and further to that, the China industry minister added, "companies have no strong desire to invest."

 

Housing's Trek From America's "Socialism", Through UK's "Communism" Ending in China's "Capitalism" Socialism is a dirty word in many parts of the US, but as the FT reports, the government has turned its mortgage market into a giant nationalised enterprise on a par with Chinas Red Army with over 90% of mortgages subsidized by the state and aided by so-called "progressive" or "redistributive" policies. In the UK, the government have also become entwined with the housing market, albeit in different ways. Rates have also been slashed close to zero; tens of thousands are buying homes arm-in-arm with the state under 'shared equity schemes'; and one-third of all mortgages come from the two state-controlled banks (Lloyds and RBS); very reminiscent of supposedly communist China, where most banks are majority-owned by the state with small public floats. The question remains how can they avoid another crash if and when they withdraw support from the market? "Its broadly accepted nowadays that China still lives under the banner of communism despite capitalist markets playing an increasing role in society. In Britain and America at least where the housing market is concerned the reverse process seems to be taking place."

Bill Fleckenstein: Hold Tight To Your Gold

 

A Visual History Of All Asset Bubbles Maybe not all, but certainly the vast majority of the most popular asset bubbles since before even the Tulip Mania of 1637 (including the Kipper and Wipper currency debasement of the German 30 years War, circa 1621, which is appropriately enough deja vu in contemporary retrospect, only the war is missing). While it may be worth noting that all the bubbles to the right of center have been central-bank induced (except for that amulet bubble of 2006, although even that is likely debatable), we will not note it as it is quite obvious even without us highlighting this simple fact. One can only imagine what would happen to asset prices - all of them - when the world's central banks, which are now collectively and voluntarily "all in" on reflating the biggest asset bubble of all time across all asset classes, decide to close the liquidity spigots (if ever).

 

Aftershocks If the FBI can track down two homicidal Chechen nobodies inside of forty-eight hours from their Boston bombing caper, you kind of wonder how come the Bureau cant detect the odor of racketeering, insider trading, and wire fraud in this months orchestrated smackdown of the gold futures markets, including the parts played by the Federal reserve, one or more too-big-to-fail banks, self-interested big money players such as George Soros, slumbering regulators at the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, and tractable editors at The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times... Because the smackdown organizers pulled off their operation in a panic, they probably ignored the potential further negative consequences of their stratagem, namely a worsening loss of confidence in banks generally and in the trade of abstract financial instruments in particular

 

Spanish Population Declines For The First Time As Immigrants Throw In The Spiderman Towel

 

Earnings So Far: Just Three Charts With 33% of the S&P 500 market cap having reported, earnings season has had mixed results thus far. Earnings are pacing 4.1% ahead of expectations - 2.8% excluding financials; company guidance was generally negative leading into earnings season, and thus companies are beating lowered estimates and "clearing low hurdles." Early revenue results have been weaker than bottom-line numbers with revenues missing already lowered expectations by 0.3%. However, As Morgan Stanley's Adam Parker notes, three things stand out: negative guidance persists with negative-to-positive guidance surging to a multi-year high of 4.7; Margin expansion expectations remain at multi-year highs; and the consensus EPS for the S&P 500 is being marked down slowly by 0.6% and 1.1% for 2013 and 2014 respectively. With Apple set to report, and its huge relative weighting in many of the indices still, these 'expectations' could shift dramatically.

 

The Only Chart Required To 'Price' US Stocks The world remains transfixed in the belief that the Federal Reserve can 'prime' the economic pump one more time via monetizing trillion-dollar deficits ad nauseum, inflate its balance sheet to unprecedented levels, and still successfully exit from this largesse leaving behind a 'better' place for mankind. Judging by crescendo of cognitive dysfunction, the nominal price level of US equities can dismiss current weakness since we just have to wait a little longer (and print a little moar) and the old normal growth will rise phoenix-like from the ashes of our post-debt-super-cycle world. The truth is far simpler - US equity markets are not valued on earnings (LTM, current, or forward); they are not priced off discounted dividends; there is no discounting of macro upturns; or great rotations. Since the crisis began, there is only one thing that matters, as Gluskin Sheff's David Rosenberg notes from this stunning chart, "the NYSE Market Cap, this cycle, actually went up dollar for dollar with the expansion of the Fed's pregnant balance sheet."

 

Autopsy Of A Dead Market: The Google Flash-Crash Still chasing US equities up and down each day? Buying-and-holding large caps for their 'safety'?

Perhaps the following post-mortem from Nanex on today's flash crash in the stock not of some microcap but of nearly $300 billion market cap behemoth Google, will reduce just a little of the fervor over what so many call the stock 'market' and its 'free' and 'efficient' nature.

 

Gold And Silver Physical Market And Inventory Update From The Source: "In A Word, Ugly"

 

Japan To "Carry" Europe's Rescue Between an 87-year-old Italian, a bearded American, two Japanese sociopaths, and a world in desperate search of 'yield', the yields on Spanish 10Y debt have collapsed in recent days to 4.50% - its lowest since November 2010 (and Italy at around 3.54% also close to 29 month lows). With the backdrop that no harm can ever come to another government, corporate, or high-yield bond ever again, the $660 billion in excess Fed and BoJ liquidity needs to be invested and why not grab the riskiest stuff there is. European stocks ended mixed with Italy and Spain soaring and the rest in the red or unch. Corporate credit rallied, outperforming stocks, but Swiss 2Y rates remained at 3-month lows. Europe, market indications aside, remains very unfixed; but given the leadership's insistence that the market knows best, we assume we should not expect more austerity or belt-tightening as 'investors' are willing to take the bankers' promises as gospel. Just as a reminder - we saw this kind of 'confidence' before in 2011, did not end so well...

Is JPY About To Get The 'Gold' Treatment? Overnight a number of media types discussed the inevitability of the 100JPY Maginot Line being crossed (the same way they predicted the inevitable breach of USDJPY 100 two weeks ago). It appears a combination of over-size positioning, options barriers, and economic reality has reduced demand for the JPY cross as a carry trade this morning and after testing 99.98 overnight, JPY is crashing higher since the open of the US equity market. It seems while the G-20 closed its eyes and held its nose, the 'market' is not quite so willing. Why should you care about JPY? Because in this 'market' it's all that matters...

 

Guest Post: The Decline Of Self-Employment and Small Business The trajectory of self-employment from 1970 to the mid-2000s tracked general economic growth, which was weak in the 1970s but began a 30-year boom in the early 1980s. Things changed in the recession, as the self-employed ranks have lost 1.6 million from the peak in 2007. The number of self-employed has fallen to early 1980s levels. Small business is the incubator of employment. As it declines, so too do opportunities for first jobs, second chances and economic independence.

 

US Macro Data Plunges To 5-Month Low In the last few weeks, US macro data has missed expectant extrapolated hope expectations time after time. The deterioration has been very rapid, starting around the third week of March, and has plunged to the worst levels since the ubiquitous equity rally began in November 2012. Combined with dismal micro- performance (and outlooks) from the likes of IBM, GE, and CAT, is there any doubt that this 'market' is disconnected not just from current reality but that 'priced-in' hopes for a hockey-stick-recovery seem improbable at best and exuberant at worst?

The Takedown Of Gold A Sign That The Entire Global Financial System Is About To Crash ?

http://albertpeia.com/globalfinancialsystemcrash.htm

 

‘…So who is behind all of this orchestration?  Well, according to Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, it is actually the Federal Reserve... The Federal Reserve began its April Fools assault on gold by sending the word to brokerage houses, which quickly went out to clients, that hedge funds and other large investors were going to unload their gold positions and that clients should get out of the precious metal market prior to these sales. As this inside information was the governments own strategy, individuals cannot be prosecuted for acting on it. By this operation, the Federal Reserve, a totally corrupt entity, was able to combine individual flight with institutional flight. Bullion prices took a big hit, and bullishness departed from the gold and silver markets. The flow of dollars into bullion, which threatened to become a torrent, was stopped. In fact, Dr. Roberts says that former Goldman Sachs trader Andrew Maguire is reporting that the Fed orchestrated the dumping of 500 tons of naked gold shorts into the market on Friday... According to Andrew Maguire, on Friday, April 12, the Feds agents hit the market with 500 tons of naked shorts. Normally, a short is when an investor thinks the price of a stock or commodity is going to fall. He wants to sell the item in advance of the fall, pocket the money, and then buy the item back after it falls in price, thus making money on the short sale. If he doesnt have the item, he borrows it from someone who does, putting up cash collateral equal to the current market price. Then he sells the item, waits for it to fall in price, buys it back at the lower price and returns it to the owner who returns his collateral. If enough shorts are sold, the result can be to drive down the market price. As Dr. Roberts noted, this represents an absolutely massive amount of gold... Consider the 500 tons of paper gold sold on Friday. Begin with the question, how many ounces is 500 tons? There are 2,000 pounds to one ton. 500 tons equal 1,000,000 pounds. There are 16 ounces to one pound, which comes to 16 million ounces of short sales on Friday. Who has 16 million ounces of gold? At the beginning gold price that day of about $1,550, that comes to $24,800,000,000. Who has that kind of money? A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE NEED TO BE CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATED. Meanwhile, many are considering this takedown of gold to be an ominous sign that another major financial crisis may be heading our way. Just remember what happened back in 2008.  As Zero Hedge noted on Monday, the price of gold suddenly plunged 21 percent in July 2008.  That was just a couple of months before the U.S. stock market crashed in the fall...

 

 

El-Erian's Summary: "Virtually Every Market Is Trading At Very Artificial Levels""In order for central banks to achieve their ultimate economic objective - which is growth and jobs - they have to push investors into taking more risk than is justified," is the somewhat chilling warning that PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian gives in this excellent interview with the WSJ. "Central banks are operating through the wealth effect and animal spirits," El-Erian says peeling back the truth onion, as they prop up asset prices to "artificial levels, in virtually every market." Worries over the central bankers of the world withdrawing easy money policies too early are "unwarranted," he notes, adding that he suspects, "they will most likely stay too long and they will consciously make that mistake." Critically, though, he sends a message that appears to fit with many of our recent discussions (most recently here) that "if these levels arent validated by the fundamentals, then investors will get hurt."

Police Surround House Where Dzhokar Tsarnaev Is Hiding - Live Feed And Police Scanner

 

A Potential "Boston Bomber" Getaway Car? It was reported previously that police were on the hunt for a Honda CRV, allegedly a car belonging to a potential Boston suspect. Shortly thereafter the car was found, but not the suspect. However, we wonder if the Boston police and the Feds, still looking for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who by now has likely left the immediate crime scene, are aware that the suspect had what appears to be another car, a new, black Chevrolet Camaro, Mass license plate 649VC8, one which we have found on the suspect's twitter stream about he was boasting as recently as March 15th, and which we have not seen mentioned in either the mainstream or fringe press yet.

 

John Hussman: The Importance Of Understanding The Tenuous Equilibria Of The Markets Our financial markets actually have a natural equilibrium state that is far removed from where they are today. But interfering monetary policy (e.g. QE) and delusional fiscal policy have pulled the system away from its authentic state, to the point now where the forces to correct are placing growing strain on the status quo. As the system seeks to return to where it should naturally be, the yields that the Fed is so desperately trying to engineer are going to become less in size and number. Investors need to realize that much of the "growth" the Fed is trying to return to was manufactured and unnatural. We are returning to a lower-growth environment, whether we want to or not.

 

Boston Bomber Tweeting In August 2012: "Boston Marathon Isn't A Good Place To Smoke"

 

The Week That Was: April 15th-19th 2013 Succinctly summarizing the positive and negative news, data, and market events of the week...

 

US Equities Slump To Worst Week In 5 Months This week saw the largest plunge in US macro data in 11 weeks pushing us back towards the lowest levels since August. Fundamentals (macro and also micro- earnings) did have some impact - with stocks having their worst week in 5 months (but the S&P managed to bounce off its 50DMA) and despite carnage in its largest components, the Dow gained 10 points (of which -150 points were from IBM, GE, and MCD). Today saw a small recovery bounce amid low volumes driven by JPY weakness (testing back up toward 100 post G-20 silliness) and VIX compression as macro overlays were lifted and positions reduced. Gold gained on the day but silver lagged ending the week -5.5% and -11% respectively, with the USD gaining 0.77% on the week (as JPY weakened almost 400 pips off its Monday night highs). Treasuries traded in a 4-6bps range all week (and flow was quiet) but the long-end ended lower in yield by 2-4bps.

 

Fed Governor Stein Warns When A TBTF Bank Fails, Depositors Will Be Cyprus'ed "Perhaps more to the point for TBTF, if a SIFI does fail I have little doubt that private investors will in fact bear the losses--even if this leads to an outcome that is messier and more costly to society than we would ideally like. Dodd-Frank is very clear in saying that the Federal Reserve and other regulators cannot use their emergency authorities to bail out an individual failing institution. And as a member of the Board, I am committed to following both the letter and the spirit of the law."

 

RANsquawk Weekly Wrap - 19th April 2013

 

G-20 Releases Statement On Japanese Devaluation (But Nobody Mention The Yen)Two days in Washington D.C. kept caterers busy but produced a 2,126 word communique long on slogans and short on anything actionable. The G-20 statement (below) can be boiled down simply, as we tweeted, And just to add one more embarrassing detail for them, while section 4 discusses "Japan's recent policy actions," not only does Canada's finance minister James Flaherty believe they "didn't discuss the Japanese Yen," but Japan's Kuroda believes, comments on 'misalignments', "were not meant for the BoJ."

 

Earnings Update: Just Five (Plus One) Charts - A Complete Disaster So far, 91 companies have reported 1Q results (28% of total S&P 500 market capitalization). 37% of companies reporting have beaten earnings estimates (below the historical average of 47%) and 13% have missed estimates (vs. average of 15%). The average EPS surprise has been 3.4%, below the 4.8% historical average. Excluding Financials, there are similar positive surprises (37%) and similar negative surprises (13%). Excluding Financials and Utilities, 21% of companies reporting have beaten sales estimates (below the historical average of 38%) and 24% have missed estimates (vs. average of 18%). The average revenue surprise has been -0.1%, below the 1.3% historical average. In short, things are not going according to plan - though we assume this just means the Q4-fantasy-hockey-stick explosion of revenues, earnings, and margins will just get bigger.

 

Chinese Gold Exchange Sold Out - Begins Importing From Switzerland Hong KongChinese Gold & Silver Exchange Society has been in operations for over a century, and its President Haywood Cheung was interviewed by Bloomberg news earlier today.  Whoever orchestrated the attack on gold and silver in the last week or so has gravely miscalculated, since the response to the drop has been surging demand for physical gold and silver.  While I tend to be skeptical when I hear about silver shortages since these reports have been so exaggerated in the past, the lack of silver coin availability and premiums are the most extreme I have seen since the financial and economic meltdown of 2008.  Now we discover that the Chinese Gold & Silver Exchange Society has essentially sold out of gold bullion, and must wait until Wednesday for shipments to arrive from Switzerland and London.

 

What Have We Got To Look Forward To? As another woeful week wends to a weary close... what we got to look forward to? Although markets appeared to be shooting off in every direction, we do expect we'll see clearer direction soon. Despite the noisy criticism earlier this week of Yen "competitive" devaluation, the G20 meeting said nothing. We suspect certain individuals were quietly sat in the comfy chair, had global reality gently explained to them with the aid of some rusty dental equipment, were slapped around a bit and told to shut it. As long as Japan can sign the pledge on no competitive depreciation without giggling well be ok. We do suspect the warmest circle of financial hell is being reserved for those populist European politicians who've tried to appeal to voters with efforts to stem the financial tides, and punished markets for being markets.

 

Chechen President Statement On Boston Bombers: "Seek The Roots Of Their Evil Inside America" Chechen president Ramzan Kadyrov: "Tragic events took place in Boston. As a result of the blast people were killed. Previously, we expressed out condolences to the people of the city, and the people of America. Today, as reported by the media, during his arrest attempt, a Tsarnaev was killed. It would be logical, for him to be detained and investigated, and all the circumstances and degrees of his guilt uncovered. Apparently, the special services needed a result at any cost to calm down society. Any attempts to make a connection between Chechnya and Tsarnaevs, even if they are guilty, are in vain. They grew up in the United States, their attitudes and beliefs were formed there. It is necessary to seek the roots of evil in America. The whole world should fight terrorism. We know this better than anyone else. We wish a recovery to all the victims and share the Americans' sense of sorrow."

Guest Post: How Does This End? The fleecing of the American public continues. The theft takes different forms, but it all serves one purpose to transfer wealth from the average Joe to the crony corporatists and their political lackeys. Capitalism and free markets depend upon trust, integrity, property rights and the rule of law. Without these, there are no advantages to free markets. Nor are there any incentives to create wealth. Instead, an economy becomes little more than a massive plunder scheme where the powerful exploit the weak. No economic recovery is possible under such circumstances. Historians judge that it took Rome almost two hundred years to die. The US is in similar position. Unless you believe in the miracle of sovereign resurrection, the US is over. The coroner-historians have not pronounced death yet, but they, like with Rome, are behind the curve. This dead man too will eventually fall down.

 

 

Philly Fed Is Latest Economic Miss: Number of Employees Dumps, Inventories Plunge Hardly anyone will be surprised to learn that moments ago we just got the latest disappointing economic indicator for an economy that is clearly accelerating in its deterioration. As expected, the April Philly Fed was the latest economic indicator miss, printing at 1.3, down from last month's 2.0, and below expectations of am increase to 3.0. And while the key New Orders reverted back into negative territory after one brief month positive, it was the other components of the Index that a far more pronounced deterioration, namely the Number of Employees which dumped from 2.7 to -6.8, the biggest drop since May 2012, boding ill for the upcoming April NFP number, as well as the Inventories which plunged from 0.0 to -22.2, which means downward Q1 GDP revisions will be forthcoming from every side momentarily as the Wall Street lemmings are forced to resume trimming their exuberance once more just like in 2012... and 2011... and 2010.

 

 

Initial Claims Snoozer, Just Higher Than ExpectedIn perhaps the most boring initial claims release in a long time, the DOL revealed that in the week ending April 13, there were 352,000 new unemployment insurance claims, an increase of 4,000 from the prior week (naturally revised higher from 346K to 348K), and a slight miss of expectations of 350K. So far in 2013, there have been 8 misses and 7 beats of the expected claims number. The DOL also added that two states' claims were estimated in the past week: of course, if these were California and Illinois, one would imagine reality to be quite different than what is reported but who really cares about reality any more.

 

When Gold And Stocks De-Correlate The structural collapse in paper gold prices has been met a seeming 'money-on-the-sidelines' flourish of investors looking to buy the physical asset. However, when asset relationships break-down so significantly, as gold and stocks have in the past 90 days, one has to take a step back and think "what changed?" As the chart below shows, the last time the correlation between stocks and gold was this negative, things did not end so well for the high-valuation equity momentum chasers...

 

S&P Breaks Key Trendline For First Time In 2013 As Tech Earnings Disappoint Despite the ubiquitous last-hour rampalooza, the S&P 500 was unable to close back above its 50-day moving average. This is the first close below this key price level in 2013 as high-beta Tech (AAPL) and Homebuilders underperformed notably (on the day and week) and stocks are below Cyprus levels (and marginally above Italian election levels). VIX pushed back above 18% for the first time in 7 weeks (for its biggest spike since the Italian elections). Volume was above average and average trade size was low (suggesting no capitulation yet). Away from stocks, markets were remarkably subdued. Treasuries traded in a narrow 3bps range and closed unchanged (though stocks are catching down). The USD closed practically unchanged from yesterday's US close. Credit markets tracked lower with stocks (though the HY ETF held up). Commodities generally drifted higher (aside from Silver) with WTI up 2% on the day amid Syrian headlines. This is worst 5-day slump in 5 months.

 

Goldman Confirms Slowdown Accelerating Two weeks ago we showed the notable cyclical collapse in Goldman Sachs' business cycle 'Swirlogram', due to a combination of downward revisions in over-adjusted data and actual economic decline. The latest 'swirlogram' shows that the situation has gone from bad to worse. While hope remains due to strength in AUD and CAD (commodity) currencies, Consumer confidence, global PMIs, and Industrial metals have all worsened significantly pushing the Global Leading Indicator momentum down notably. The next key indicators Goldman are watching are Belgian and Dutch manufacturing, Japanese Industrial Production Inventory/Sales, and Korean exports and they remain cautious of the increasing fiscal drag in the US.

Photos And Video Of Boston Bombing Suspects ReleasedMoments ago the FBI released on its website, which was promptly DDOSed, pictures and a video clip of the two Boston Bombing suspects. Both appear Caucasian. The pics are attached below. The FBI is requesting tips from anyone who has information on these people of interest.

 

Reuters Releases George Soros Obituary By Mistake: "Enigmatic Financier, Liberal Philanthropist Dies At XX" First CNN, then AP, now Reuters: the entire media is increasingly starting to look like amateur hour. Unless, of course, Soros is like Osama, and had several "reincarnated" body doubles, with the original specimen long gone. Here is our suggestion for another prepared article: "Today after XX centuries of monetizing debt, the Emperor of the Galactic Central Bank, Gaius Maximum Printius Bernankius the DCLXVIth, ended QE in the year of the alien invasion, XXXXX. Bread costs XXXXXXXXXXX."

 

Guest Post: Unintended Consequences Are Increasing World Demand For Gold With the financial experts claiming, some gleefully, that gold has "lost its safe haven status" in the aftermath of its biggest tumble in 30 years, many commentators thought (hoped?) that the dramatic price drop would steer people away from gold ownership. To my eyes, the past week has all the earmarks of a high-gloss propaganda campaign complete with well-placed anti-gold stories in the media and the careful use of language aimed at sowing doubt about gold's ability to be a store of wealth. But for those who consider gold a store of value, the recent gold slam is a gift: an invitation to purchase more sound money with fewer units of paper currency. In other words, a sweet deal.  Gold and silver on sale and the world is taking advantage.

 

Boston Marathon Bombing FBI Press Conference - Live Stream With CNN not reporting anything (or retracting anything), we hope the FBI can clean up some of the 'facts' with regard the terrorist attack on Boston.

 

The Euro Legacy: In Greece, Children Pick Through Trash Cans For Food "We have reached a point where children are coming to school hungry," as with an estimated 10% of Greek elementary and middle school students suffering from 'food insecurity', the troubled nation has fallen to the level of some African countries. As the NY Times reports, unlike the US, Greek schools do not offer subsidized cafeteria lunches. Exacerbated by the austerity measures including cuts in subsidies for larger families, the cost has become insurmountable for many. With 26% of Greek households on an 'economically weak diet', children are starting to steal for food and picking through trash cans as they proclaim, "our dreams are crushed." What is frightening is the speed at which it is happening, "a year ago it wasn't like this," as one family talks of the 'cabbage-based diet' which it supplements by foraging for snails in nearby fields. Programs are being started to help from wealthier Greeks, but as one parent said, "unless the EU acts, we're done for."

 

Big Ööps: Deutsche Börse Says "Flash Crash Can't Happen Here" A Week Before German Flash Crash Yesterday, courtesy of Nanex, we provided a close look into the internals of the flash crash that took place in yesterday's trading session of German stocks. What was made obvious, is that this crash happened as a result of the same sudden liquidity vacuum that took place in May 2010 in the NYSE, when the DJIA plunged by 1000 points on a surge in offers and no bids, leading to the infamous original flash crash (about which we warned in April of 2009 of course) crushing the market, before a mysterious buying power emerged out of nowhere and returned it to an almost unchanged level. What we did not know, and what makes yesterday's German mini crash both delightfully ironic and supremely humiliating to the largest German stock exchange operator, the Deutsche Börse, is that it was less than one short weeks ago that the very same Deutsche Börse, in a direct reply to Nanex itself, stated that what we witnessed on Wednesday night couldn't possibly happen. Six days later, it did.

Even if in jest, an exercise in sarcasm, or sophistry at its worst, such position is so absolutely uncivilized and in such poor taste and without any intellectual foundation that I must wonder how MarketWatch hasn’t really ‘watched’. I want to know what wars farrell’s fought in, or how many of his own children have died in same. I’m staunchly against communism which I’ve made no secret; but if farrell’s specious reasoning was correct (it’s not, economically and otherwise, but quite Orwellian), I honestly would then say, ‘Let capitalism die’! }

New Hampshire was the 'free-est' state in 2011 but fell to 4th this year as North Dakota is 2013's 'free-est' state. New York and California bring up the rear as the least free states but the following clip and charts show just where the freedom is spreading - Georgia, Arizona, and Idaho; and where it is not - Oregon, Kansas, and Colarado.  http://albertpeia.com/mostfreestate.htm

The Takedown Of Gold A Sign That The Entire Global Financial System Is About To Crash ?

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com

 

http://albertpeia.com/globalfinancialsystemcrash.htm

 

‘…So who is behind all of this orchestration?  Well, according to Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, it is actually the Federal Reserve... The Federal Reserve began its April Fools assault on gold by sending the word to brokerage houses, which quickly went out to clients, that hedge funds and other large investors were going to unload their gold positions and that clients should get out of the precious metal market prior to these sales. As this inside information was the governments own strategy, individuals cannot be prosecuted for acting on it. By this operation, the Federal Reserve, a totally corrupt entity, was able to combine individual flight with institutional flight. Bullion prices took a big hit, and bullishness departed from the gold and silver markets. The flow of dollars into bullion, which threatened to become a torrent, was stopped. In fact, Dr. Roberts says that former Goldman Sachs trader Andrew Maguire is reporting that the Fed orchestrated the dumping of 500 tons of naked gold shorts into the market on Friday... According to Andrew Maguire, on Friday, April 12, the Feds agents hit the market with 500 tons of naked shorts. Normally, a short is when an investor thinks the price of a stock or commodity is going to fall. He wants to sell the item in advance of the fall, pocket the money, and then buy the item back after it falls in price, thus making money on the short sale. If he doesnt have the item, he borrows it from someone who does, putting up cash collateral equal to the current market price. Then he sells the item, waits for it to fall in price, buys it back at the lower price and returns it to the owner who returns his collateral. If enough shorts are sold, the result can be to drive down the market price. As Dr. Roberts noted, this represents an absolutely massive amount of gold... Consider the 500 tons of paper gold sold on Friday. Begin with the question, how many ounces is 500 tons? There are 2,000 pounds to one ton. 500 tons equal 1,000,000 pounds. There are 16 ounces to one pound, which comes to 16 million ounces of short sales on Friday. Who has 16 million ounces of gold? At the beginning gold price that day of about $1,550, that comes to $24,800,000,000. Who has that kind of money? A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE NEED TO BE CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATED. Meanwhile, many are considering this takedown of gold to be an ominous sign that another major financial crisis may be heading our way. Just remember what happened back in 2008.  As Zero Hedge noted on Monday, the price of gold suddenly plunged 21 percent in July 2008.  That was just a couple of months before the U.S. stock market crashed in the fall...

 

 

El-Erian's Summary: "Virtually Every Market Is Trading At Very Artificial Levels""In order for central banks to achieve their ultimate economic objective - which is growth and jobs - they have to push investors into taking more risk than is justified," is the somewhat chilling warning that PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian gives in this excellent interview with the WSJ. "Central banks are operating through the wealth effect and animal spirits," El-Erian says peeling back the truth onion, as they prop up asset prices to "artificial levels, in virtually every market." Worries over the central bankers of the world withdrawing easy money policies too early are "unwarranted," he notes, adding that he suspects, "they will most likely stay too long and they will consciously make that mistake." Critically, though, he sends a message that appears to fit with many of our recent discussions (most recently here) that "if these levels arent validated by the fundamentals, then investors will get hurt."

 

Stocks Slammed To Worst 4-Day Run Of 2013 Despite a well-place Nikkei headline (at 3am Japan time) that spooked JPY lower in an effort to ramp stocks, S&P futures closed down around 22 points to cap the worst 4-day high-low swing swince December - unable to break VWAP. Protection was well bid everywhere with VIX once again spiking up to over 17.5% before ending the day up 2.5 vols around 16.5% (implying notably more weakness to come for stocks). The S&P sell-off stalled at the 50DMA - its closest to the mythical Maginot line since the post-fiscal cliff rally began. Treasury yields dropped to 4-month lows at 1.67% before bouncing modestly higher into the close. The USD strengthened as EUR had its worst day in months. Copper and Oil suffered the most as growth fears spread (both pinned together -7.2% from last Thursday). Gold and Silver practically flatlined today (with gold a slight outperformer). Tech and energy struggled on the day but homebuilders are the week's biggest losers for now. S&P volume was 2nd highest of the year as Nasdaq and Trannies plunge back to recent lows.

 

Farage Unleashed: "You Are Common Criminals" "Years ago, Mrs Thatcher recognized the truth behind the European Project," UKIP's Nigel Farage reminds his European Parliament 'colleagues', "she saw that it was about taking away democracy from nation states and handing that power to largely unaccountable people." In one of his most wonderfully vitriolic remonstrations, the fiery Farage blasts Europe's leadership, "this European Union is the new communism." Slamming Olli Rehn and his Troika cohorts for "resorting to the level of common criminals and stealing people's money", Farage warns, rather chillingly, that, "it is power without limits. It is creating a tide of human misery and the sooner it is swept away the better." Simply put, he concludes, the European Parliament is living out a federal fantasy which is no longer sustainable.

 

Egan-Jones Downgrades Germany From A+ To A, Outlook Negative Synopsis: Chancellor Merkel continues to resist calls for EU bonds (shared liabs.) and money printing and is pushing for fiscal controls and the seniority of bailout funding. Germany is likely to be outvoted by other ECB members and therefore will have greater prospective exposure. Watch for the EFSF and the ESM morphing into banks (thereby depressing eventual recoveries) and a rise in the number of euros. Watch progress on the EU banking union. We used the IMF's data for Germany's debt which is greater than Eurostat's data. Downgrading.

 

China's Animal Apocalypse Spreads To Dogs First it was floating dead pigs, then ducks, then black swans, then mass chicken exterminations, then fish, and now more pigs and also a brand new entrant to the Chinese animal apocalypse: dogs. AP reports that hundreds more pigs have been found dead in China - this time together with dozens of dogs. "A total of 410 pigs and 122 dogs were discovered in homes and at farms earlier this week in a village that comes under Yanshi city's jurisdiction in central Henan province, authorities said Wednesday. The city's propaganda office said that the deaths were being investigated but that they suspected they had to do with nearby chemical factories. The factories have been ordered to suspend production and help police with a criminal investigation into the incident, according to a report on a Henan provincial news website."

 

'Cleanest Dirty Shirt' Or 'Greatest Fool'? Little comment necessary here except a reminder for US investors that return of capital is a higher priority than return on capital and the divergences are becoming increasingly unsustainable. As investors stare blankly, pointing fingers at gold, we also address what it means when Gold and Treasuries are rallying at the same time...

 

Bland Beige Book Belies Moderate, Modest, Mild Growth (Again) Once again the words that dominate the Fed Beige Book are those of underwhelming medicority: *FED SAYS `MODERATE' GROWTH IN U.S. WAS LED BY HOUSING, AUTOS *FED SAYS U.S. CONSUMER SPENDING `GREW MODESTLY'  *FED SAYS `PRICE PRESSURES REMAINED MOSTLY SUBDUED'  *FED SAYS `EMPLOYMENT CONDITIONS REMAINED UNCHANGED OR IMPROVED'  It seems even the Fed is forced to admit that what little 'growth' there is in the US is that funded by zero-cost Federal debt: Housing and Autos. After a few trillion dollars and with stocks at all-time highs, the deafening roar of animal spirits remains subdued... which must mean we need moar... The market's reaction is nothing - reflecting the value of the report's content.

 

Rick Santelli Asks The $14 Trillion Dollar Question Two minutes into a somewhat boring pre-close wrap-up, the CNBC guests bring up the glaring revelation that perhaps, just perhaps, the Fed's $85 billion per month (plus the BoJ's exuberance) is not enough. But at three minutes, Rick Santelli dares to ask the question that no one wants to hear the answer to. Addressing questions over what bonds and commodities are telling us, Santelli notes the bubble-blowing tendencies of "re-applying [economic] medicines that don't work and don't take hold," and that the current weakness is deflationary. "Just look at 20-year lows in European car sales... or 13-year lows in China GDP growth," he explains, "you have to delever down to some sort of reality - that's the healing process;" but instead, due to "economic semantics," we "keep doing [building bigger bubbles]." With $14 trillion of central bank balance sheet reflation in place, Rick asks, what if its the "wrong medicine?"

 

Background Check Amendment Fails To Pass Senate, Gun Control In Tatters: Obama To Make Statement Following a full court press by the Obama administration, and specifically gun tzar Joe Biden, to legislate "stronger" gun law in the last several months ever since the Sandy Hook massacre, the initiative may have just suffered a terminal defeat following a failure to even pass a bipartisan background check amendment in the democrat-controlled Senate. CBS reports that "In a major setback for gun control advocates, the Senate Wednesday voted down a key amendment to the embattled Democratic gun bill, signaling the increasingly dim prospects of any meaningful legislative action aimed at strengthening America's gun laws. The bipartisan Manchin-Toomey amendment, a background check expansion devised by Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., Pat Toomey, R-Pa., and a handful of other lawmakers, earned only 54 votes, falling six votes short of the 60-vote threshold. Vice President Joe Biden, who led the Obama administration's months-long lobbying effort on behalf of stronger gun laws, presided over the vote."

 

Update: Boston Bombing Suspect HAS NOT BEEN Arrested; Boston Courthouse Evacuated First we got headlines coming out, from CNN and WCVB TV in Boston, that a suspect is now in custody: Law enforcement official: Boston Marathon bomb suspect in custody, expected in federal court. Janet Wu reports it is a man who was arrested. The officials says the suspect is to be taken into custody by federal marshals and taken to a courthouse. There is no immediate word on where the arrest was made.  Suspects at Federal Court are brought into an entrance away from public view. Jack Harper says the security at the Federal Courthouse is almost unprecedented. A source tells Newscenter5's WuWCVB that one male suspect delivered both bombs. Then this became a media pissing match with both NBC and Reuters denying reports from CNN, AP and WCVB (on the ground), that no arrest has been made.  And now CNN is denying its original report that a suspect has been arrested. At least no report yet of the Boston Federal Court being under 9 feet of water.   Finally, here comes the FBI: NO ARRESTS MADE IN BOSTON MARATHON BOMBING CASE, FBI SAYS

 

Boston Bombing Suspect Identified, Authorities BelieveIt appears the hunt for the so far unidentified Boston nomber may be coming to an end. From Bloomberg: *OFFICIALS BELIEVE BOMBING SUSPECT IDENTIFIED, CNN SAYS *ONE SUSPECT CLEARLY IDENTIFIED IN VIDEO, CNN'S KING SAYS *AUTHORITIES HAVE IMAGE OF SUSPECT W/BAG AT 2ND BOMB SITE:GLOBE *IDENTIFICATION COMING FROM STORE SECURITY CAMERA, CNN SAYS Authorities have an image of a suspect carrying, and perhaps dropping, a black bag at the second bombing scene  - Globe.com  And the kicker: Suspect is a "dark-skinned male" according to CNN. Apparently that is the proper nomenclature. We will bring readers the picture when it is released.

Apple Cored, Drops Under $400: Lowest Since 2011 Apple has broken the 'magic' $400 level for the first time in 16 months as we probe for the next generational low in this unbeatable stock amid chatter that iPad-mini shipments for next quarter will be down 20-30%. Apple is down 43.5% from its 'generational high'. Now cheaper than an iPad2, but less tasty, it appears more than a few 'smart' index-tracking momentum-monkeys are jumping ship heading into earnings.

Guest Post: How Empires Fall The imperial tree falls not because the challenges are too great but because the core of the tree has been weakened by the gradual loss of surplus, purpose, institutional effectiveness, intellectual vigor and productive investment. Comparing the American Empire with the Roman Empire in its terminal decline is a popular intellectual parlor game. The comparison is inexact on a number of fronts but despite the apparent difference, the two empires share the key characteristic of all enduring empires: they extract the cost of maintaining the empire from client states and/or allies. The mechanisms differ, but the results are the same: the empire's cost is distributed to those who benefit from its secure trade routes.

 

European Stocks Plunge Most In Six Months Europe's 'Dow', the EuroStoxx 50, has suffered the biggest 4-day rout in 10 months as the broad Bloomberg 500 index plunged by the most in five months today amid terrible consumer, car registration, and economic collapse on the continent. DAX is at 4-month slows. Despite the bloodbath in European stocks, the ever-efficient European bond market (free to trade and totally un-manipulated) is now around unchanged on the week (while stocks are down 3-4%). European financials are leading the drop but it is broad-based. EURUSD also rolled back over nearing its biggest drop in 9 months. Swiss 2Y at 3 month lows. Bunds bid. European VIX surged to 5 week highs over 23%.

 

Goldman Throws In The Towel On A 2013 "Recovery" As Does Bank Of America Back in 2010, Goldman's Jan Hatzius, fresh on the heels of QE2, committed rookie Economist mistake 101, and mistook a centrally-planned market response to what then was a record liquidity infusion, for an improvement in the economy (a move we appropriately mocked at the time, as it was quite clear that the Fed's intervention meant the economy was getting worse not better). It took him about 4 months to realize the folly of his ways and realize no recovery for the US or anyone else was on the horizon. He then wised up for a couple of years until some time in December he did the very same mistake again, and once again jumped the shark, forecasting an improvement to the US economy in 2013, albeit in the second half (after all nobody want to predict an improvement in the immediate future: they will be proven wrong very soon) based on consumer strength when in reality the only "reaction function" was that of the market to the Fed's QE4 (or is it 5, and does it even matter any more?). Four months later we get this...

 

Market Update: The Denial UnwindThat escalated quickly. Germany's DAX is now negative year-to-date (at 5-month lows), Copper is at 18-month lows, the bid for safety has driven 2Y Swiss rates under -10bps, their lowest in 3 months, and US equity markets are crumbling after yesterday's dead-cat-bounce. There was little to no pre-open ramp this morning, no EUR-levered pump, and VIX is not playing ball with the manipulators. Something changed; the denial is beginning to unwind. Gold and silver are modestly bid as we suspect physical demand bleeds back into paper. Maybe stocks are catching down to the 'WTF' reality (as we discussed here and here).

 

EUR Tumbles On Weidmann Comment Of Possible Rate Cut First it was former ECB executive board member Lorenzo Bini-Smaghi saying that "policy makers led by President Mario Draghi will act to weaken the euro" which led to the first shock in the European currency this morning, and now it is Bundesbank head Weidmann, reminding the world that in a monetarist currency war world, he who crushes their currency last, loses. As a result moments ago he said that the ECB may cut rates if new info warrants, something that was actually quite obvious two weeks ago and some 300 pips lower, yet the relentless purchases of Italian bonds by Japanese financials drove the EUR ever higher to its highest level since February yesterday. Net result: time to reacquaint the EUR with gravity.

 

Gold Buying Frenzy Continues: China, Japan, And Australia Scramble For Physical We noted here that the plunge in the paper price of gold (and silver) had prompted considerable renewed demand for physical and now it seems the scramble among the "more stable investor base" is increasing. The shake out of ETFs and futures has left the Australian mint short of deliverables and Japanese and Chinese gold retailers seeing a "frenzied" surge in demand. The customers are not just the 'rich' or 'elderly'; in China "they tend to wear water shoes and come directly from the market...;" in Australia, "the volume of business... is way in excess of double what we did last week,... theres been people running through the gate," and Japanese individual investors doubled gold purchases yesterday at Tokuriki Honten, the countrys second-largest retailer of the precious metal. The panic selling by a weaker 'imminent inflation-based' investor base has sparked physical shortages - "theres been significant sales made as people see this as great value." It seems our previous discussions of a rotation from paper to physical were correct and this physical demand will eventually leak back into the paper markets.

 

A Continent In Trouble Every scheme in Europe than can be rigged has been or is being rigged and, in the end, it will only be the fools that are left in this game. It is not the greater fools either but the mandated fools who take directions from Brussels who takes their directions from Berlin. We cannot emphasize enough the great risk that anyone takes now by investing in anything in Europe. You can ignore liabilities, you can play pretend and not count liabilities but in the end they are still there and the losses must be finally acknowledged. Gold gave you a head's up.

The Takedown Of Gold A Sign That The Entire Global Financial System Is About To Crash ?

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com

 

http://albertpeia.com/globalfinancialsystemcrash.htm

 

‘…So who is behind all of this orchestration?  Well, according to Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, it is actually the Federal Reserve... The Federal Reserve began its April Fools assault on gold by sending the word to brokerage houses, which quickly went out to clients, that hedge funds and other large investors were going to unload their gold positions and that clients should get out of the precious metal market prior to these sales. As this inside information was the governments own strategy, individuals cannot be prosecuted for acting on it. By this operation, the Federal Reserve, a totally corrupt entity, was able to combine individual flight with institutional flight. Bullion prices took a big hit, and bullishness departed from the gold and silver markets. The flow of dollars into bullion, which threatened to become a torrent, was stopped. In fact, Dr. Roberts says that former Goldman Sachs trader Andrew Maguire is reporting that the Fed orchestrated the dumping of 500 tons of naked gold shorts into the market on Friday... According to Andrew Maguire, on Friday, April 12, the Feds agents hit the market with 500 tons of naked shorts. Normally, a short is when an investor thinks the price of a stock or commodity is going to fall. He wants to sell the item in advance of the fall, pocket the money, and then buy the item back after it falls in price, thus making money on the short sale. If he doesnt have the item, he borrows it from someone who does, putting up cash collateral equal to the current market price. Then he sells the item, waits for it to fall in price, buys it back at the lower price and returns it to the owner who returns his collateral. If enough shorts are sold, the result can be to drive down the market price. As Dr. Roberts noted, this represents an absolutely massive amount of gold... Consider the 500 tons of paper gold sold on Friday. Begin with the question, how many ounces is 500 tons? There are 2,000 pounds to one ton. 500 tons equal 1,000,000 pounds. There are 16 ounces to one pound, which comes to 16 million ounces of short sales on Friday. Who has 16 million ounces of gold? At the beginning gold price that day of about $1,550, that comes to $24,800,000,000. Who has that kind of money? A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE NEED TO BE CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATED. Meanwhile, many are considering this takedown of gold to be an ominous sign that another major financial crisis may be heading our way. Just remember what happened back in 2008.  As Zero Hedge noted on Monday, the price of gold suddenly plunged 21 percent in July 2008.  That was just a couple of months before the U.S. stock market crashed in the fall...

 

 

El-Erian's Summary: "Virtually Every Market Is Trading At Very Artificial Levels""In order for central banks to achieve their ultimate economic objective - which is growth and jobs - they have to push investors into taking more risk than is justified," is the somewhat chilling warning that PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian gives in this excellent interview with the WSJ. "Central banks are operating through the wealth effect and animal spirits," El-Erian says peeling back the truth onion, as they prop up asset prices to "artificial levels, in virtually every market." Worries over the central bankers of the world withdrawing easy money policies too early are "unwarranted," he notes, adding that he suspects, "they will most likely stay too long and they will consciously make that mistake." Critically, though, he sends a message that appears to fit with many of our recent discussions (most recently here) that "if these levels arent validated by the fundamentals, then investors will get hurt."

 

 

Biggest 2013 Drop In US Stocks Followed By Second Biggest Surge Yesterday's high volume dumpfest in stocks - its biggest drop in 5 months - is followed by a considerably smaller volume pumpfest that elevates the S&P by its 2nd most of the year (2nd only to the opening day of the year). The 'excessive' grab for protection yesterday that took VIX above 17% was smashed into the open and provided the ammo to leak stocks higher all day (VIX fell 3.3vols back under 14% - the biggest VIX drop of the year). The critical level for the bounce appeared to be the pre-Boston drop and every major index managed to regain it - with the Trannies leading the way. S&P futures regained 60% of the Friday-to-Monday slump, gold regained around 25% of its drop, and 10Y yields rose on the day, unwinding around 35% of the rally in Treasuries. EUR strength (and broad-based USD weakness) provided some impetus for algos to lift stocks. All-in-all, today's lower volume, lower average trade size move is not surprising and the coincident close of the S&P at around yesterday's VWAP (and lesser follow-through on other risk-assets) suggest this is more a bounce than a renewed uptrend for now.


The Most Disturbing Chart From Today's IMF Outlook Revision That the IMF is the most unwavering optimist despite fundamentals, facts and reality has been well-documented over the years. For those who still haven't seen the agency's perpetual upward bias in forecasting world growth, a quick scan of the charts below will cement the understanding that all the Washington-based serial bail-outer of insolvent countries is, is a dispenser of optimism and whose agenda is simply to preserve confidence that all is still well. The charts show how just over the past year's six outlook revisions, the IMF has been forced to downgrade, with quarterly precision, its overly optimistic forecast for virtually every part of the world, from the US, to the Euroarea, to China, and of course, the entire world: the black line is the most recent revision set - it also happens to be the lowest one. However, one chart which deserves particular attention not because it is accurate, but because the rate of deterioration is truly troublesome, is the IMF's view on global trade volume of goods and services. It is here that one can clearly see the disastrous impact of global central bank micro-mismanagement, capital misallocation and central planning. In short: global trade is collapsing - even from the point of view of one of the staunchest macro optimists - at a rate unseen since the Great Financial Crisis, and the Great Depression before it.

Guest Post: Gold Crash: What It's Not Telling Us The recent plunge in gold prices below $1500 an ounce has suddenly awoken, well, just about everyone.  The "gold bugs" are yelling that it is a conspiracy theory by the Fed while the stock market bulls say it is a sign that the Fed has achieved its goal of creating economic growth.  Unfortunately, both arguments, while great for headlines, are wrong. The real concern for investors should not be the fall of gold - but the overall stock market.  With investors fully allocated to the markets - the lurking correction therein is potentially far more dangerous to portfolios than the current fall in gold simply due to weighting differences. Even with earnings hurdles moved substantially lower in recent weeks it may not be enough to offset the softening global economy. Perhaps, just perhaps, this is what gold, commodities and interest rates are really telling us.

 

All American Airlines Flights GroundedFor those flying in the northeast today, especially in and out of Boston, it is just not their day (all the more so if there are terroristy-looking, Arab-speaking passengers nearby). The day just got much worse for those flying American Airlines. Via BBG:*FAA SAYS ALL AMERICAN FLIGHTS GROUNDED AT AIRLINE'S REQUEST *FAA SAYS AMERICAN GROUNDINGS DUE TO AIRLINE COMPUTER PROBLEMS *AMERICAN AIRLINES SAYS SABRE RESERVATION SYSTEM OFFLINE *AMERICAN AIRLINES REPORTS RESERVATION SYSTEM OUTAGE ON TWITTER *SABRE SAYS THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH AIRLINE BOOKING SYSTEM *FLIGHTS MAY RESUME AT 5PM EASTERN  Must be the evil Chinese hackers' fault again, and it is about time the government stepped in and regulated the entire Internet, preferably with a kill switch to get rid of all the pesky, fringe elements.

 

How A Misplaced Decimal Comma Left Dick Bove Unemployed Well-known permabull financial analyst Dick Bove lost his job in November 2012. Not due to his ineptness, but due to his Rochdale Securities colleague David Miller who today plead guilty to wire fraud and conspiracy over an epic Apple trade gone wrong. As Reuters reports, Miller faces a maximum 25 years (though is expected to suffer less) after falsely telling his bosses that he executed a 1,625 share trade for a client, when in fact he bought 1,623,375 shares of the 'never-gonna-fall' stock on the day of its earnings release (October 25th 2012). When the bet backfired, Rochdale was on the hook for the losses which led the firm to cease operations and to provide the market with a brief respite from Bove's 'loan-loss-provision'-ignoring, 'we're-going-to-the-moon-Alice' investment advice on US banks. What a difference a decimal place makes...

 

This Is Not What A Low-Volatility Environment Looks Like VIX, the market's measure of forward-looking expectations of equity volatility has been hovering at decade lows (and even after yesterday's spike has plunged back once again today). MOVE, the bond market's measure of forward-looking uncertainty is at all-time record lows. As one infamous rates trader said recently, maybe it's early Alzheimers, but we are fairly certain that that last time Implied Volatility was scraping the lows, we did not experience: Gold moving almost $250 or over 15% in less than 48 hours; A G-3 currency moving over 25% in less than six months; A G-3 bond yield moving by 35% in two months; The Dow leaping by almost 20% in five months; A joint monetary policy as impactful as Volker or the Paris accords. We can't help but agree.

 

Guest Post: The Risk-On Recovery Rolls OverDid anyone seriously believe the global economy was expanding so robustly that corporate profits would loft ever higher? Based on what data? Laughably bogus data from China, where warehouses are bulging with stockpiles of aluminum and copper, and a diminishing-return housing/credit bubble is the only "engine of growth"? Or was it the equally bogus unemployment rate in the U.S. that inspired such confidence? Did money managers really not notice that most of those new jobs are part-time, and that the rate is only low because millions of people have statistically been disappeared from the workforce by central planners? Wages, private-sector employment and labor's share of the economy have all declined: no wonder the risk-on recovery is rolling over.

 

Germany: Land Of Poverty... Or Prosperity? Time after time, it appears, in Europe 'beggars can be choosers'. That is, it seems, until Cyprus, when the Merkel hammer was brought down and a new 'template' to avoid German taxpayers implictly taking on the burden of southern European largesse. The initial pro-Euro indifference to the bailouts has turned increasingly to resentment in Germany - and, as we noted here, the rise of anti-Euro parties in the very heart of the political project. The following Bloomberg Briefs chart explains the tension and why the German 'five-wise-men' are pushing for a broad-based 'wealth tax' across Europe's periphery. Simply put, the Germans bearing the burden are 'poorer' than the peripheral nations as the chart of median wealth so clearly indicates. Combine this with the fact that Germany has the lowest rate of home ownership in Europe and it is little wonder that 'Alternative-for-Germany' party is already at a 3% polling? However, as discussed below, this is misleading since wealth is very unequally distributed in Germany, creating a perception among less wealthy Germans that these transfers are unfair.

San Fran Fed Blames High California Unempolyment And Rising Poverty On Highly Efficient Workers For the past three years we have been pounding the table on one very simple fact: when it comes to jobs, there is a quantitative picture, which is often muddied by seasonal adjustments and political narrative but which the mainstream loves for the simply, clear plotline: "the US created [   ] jobs in the past month", and there is a qualitative one: one which takes into account the far more important quality of the jobs created in the US economy in whole or in part (such as in various states). It appears this simple logic has finally trickled down to those masters of the obvious at the San Fran Fed who have just released a paper titled "Job Growth and Economic Growth in California" whose summary is as follows: "California job growth over the past two decades has been relatively anemic compared with gains in the rest of the country. Nevertheless, economic output has grown faster in California than in the rest of the United States. One factor underlying this pattern may be the growth of higher-wage jobs in California, which has contributed more to output than to employment growth. This creates relatively few opportunities for low-skilled workers, which may help explain why poverty increased more in California than in most states over the period."

Gold's VIX Term Structure 'Most Inverted' Since Lehman While there are obviously sellers in the gold market, there is also a dramatic spike in demand for protecting what is still being held (remember there is a buyer for every seller). Gold's short-term VIX (implied volatility) has spiked to 18 month highs above 29% but it is the steepness of the term-structure of volatility that shows just how much protection is being sought. The difference between the one-month volatility and one-year volatility is almost 10 vols - the highest level of inversion (short-term risk higher than long-term) since Lehman. It seems the market is extremely fearful of further volatility in the short-term but less concerned longer-term. What is also worrisome is that the last two times that Gold's VIX was this much higher than the S&P's VIX was June 2006 (when the first hedge funds started to implode from Subprime) and Sept 2008 (Lehman). It appears that gold volatility is signalling counterparty risk concerns once again.

 

Guest Post: A Couple of Things You Should Know About The Stock MarketThe problem with cutting the links between risk and consequence and the real economy and the stock market is that a market deprived of feedback from reality is prone to disorderly disruption. Why is this so? Participants make decisions based on the information made available to them. If the information from the real world is suppressed or limited, then the decisions made by participants will necessarily be misinformed, i.e. wrong.  If feedback from the real world is suppressed, then decisions will necessarily be bad. The only choice for participants who have lost faith in central planning's promise of permanently higher markets will be to abandon the manipulated markets entirely.

US Households On Foodstamps Hit Record High Record Dow, record S&P, record debt, record plunge in gold, and now: record US households on foodstamps. What's not to like. While today's gold selloff may be confusing to everyone, one can scratch off some 23,087,886 US households, or the number that according to the USDA were on foodstamps in January and just happen to be a fresh all time high, as the likely sellers, especially when one considers that the average monthly benefit to each household dropped to a record low of $274.04. This number probably ignores, for good reason, the once every four years fringe benefits of Obamaphones and other such made in China trinkets.

 

What Happened The Last Time We Saw Gold Drop Like This?The rapidity of gold's drop is impressive, concerning, and disorderly. We have seen two other such instances of disorderly 'hurried' selling in the last five years. In July 2008, gold quickly dropped 21% - seemingly pre-empting the Lehman debacle and the collapse of the western banking system. In September 2011, gold fell 20% in a short period - as Europe's risks exploded and stocks slumped prompting a globally co-ordinated central bank intervention the likes of which we have not seen before. Given the almost-record-breaking drop in gold in the last few days, we wonder what is coming?

 

Gold Drops Most In 30 Years Previously, levered hedge funds were forced to sell gold on stock margin calls. How long until today's gold plunge, the largest 2-day drop in the past 30 years, forces funds to start selling stocks to meet margin clerks vocal demands some time around 2pm today?

 

From Bad To Worse - European Non-Performing Loans In Context Europe remains in a critical state - despite the protestations of its leadership and the indications of its nepotistic bond markets. Unconventional monetary operations have enhanced liquidity, but have done little-to-nothing to solve the real issue - insolvency. As Jassaud and Hesse note, vulnerabilities remain; as reliance on central-bank liquidity is still high especially for banks in peripheral countries. Assets continue deteriorating and remain on banks balance sheets, weighing on profitability. Non-performing loans (NPLs) in EU banks continue to soar, drastically outpacing loan growth. Since 2007, loans to the 'real' economy have decreased by 3% while NPLs increased by almost 150%, i.e., 308 billion in absolute terms. This trend shows no sign of reversal, reflecting the continued macro deterioration in parts of the EU and the absence of restructuring (until the new 'template'). Between these soarng NPLs, Germany's new template, and the relative size of gold holdings among the troubled European nations, we suspect the social farbic will contonue to tear a little more.

Goldman Crucifies Muppets Again, Closes Long Brent Position With 15.48% LossAnother day, another muppet bites the dust.


Gold Crush Started With 400 Ton Friday Forced Sale On COMEXThere is blood running in the gold market this morning after vicious selling which began on Friday afternoon and continued in Asian trading and through into European trading. Gold has fallen another 4.4% today after a huge number of stop loss orders were triggered at $1,480/oz pushing gold lower. Reports suggest that a futures sell order worth $6 billion, equal to 4 million ounces or 124.4 tonnes of gold, by a large investment bank sent prices plummeting and spooked the markets contributing to the decline. The order was believed to have been placed through Merrill Lynch's brokerage team. Gold futures with a value of over 400 tonnes were sold in hours and this is equal to 15% of annual gold mine production. The scale of the selling was massive and again underlines how one or two large banks or hedge funds can completely distort the market by aggressive, concentrated leveraged short positions. It may again be the case that bullion banks with large concentrated short positions are manipulating the price lower as has long been alleged by GATA. Those with concentrated short positions may also have been concerned about the significant decline in COMEX gold inventories. The plunge in New York Comexs gold inventories since February is a reflection of increased demand for the physical metal and concerns about counter party risk with some hedge funds and institutions choosing to own gold in less risky allocated accounts.

 

Ex-Soros Advisor Sells "Almost All" Japan Holdings, Shorts Bonds; Sees Market Crash, Default And Hyperinflation Former Soros' Japan advisor Fujimaki takes center stage: The volatility in the JGB market as well as the fact that there is large selling represent fear among investors, Fujimaki said. They are early signs of a larger selloff and we should continue to monitor the moves in the long-term bonds. Fujimaki said he recently bought put options for Japanese government bonds of various maturities, without elaborating. He continues to hold real estate in Japan and options granting the right to sell the yen against the greenback expiring in less than five years. He also holds assets in U.S. dollars and currencies of other developed nations. "Japans finance is sinking into the ocean, Fujimaki said. Theres no escape from a market crash in the future when you have such enormous debt.  By expanding the monetary base to 270 trillion yen, the BOJ is making a huge bet which I think it will ultimately lose, Fujimaki said in an interview in Tokyo on April 11. Kurodas QE announcement is declaring double suicide with the government. The BOJ will have to share the countrys fate and default together. Shirakawa did more than enough and he had good reasons to not do any more, said Fujimaki. There will be tremendous side effects from monetary stimulus. QE doesnt work and has no exit... Things may look rosy for now as stocks rise, but should we see hyper-inflation, JGBs will see a huge selloff, leading to a stock market crash, said Fujimaki, adding that he sold almost all of his Japanese stock holdings some time ago.

 

Priced For Perfection - A Return To 'Normal' Won't Be EnoughThe equity rally over the past 18 months has been driven by multiple expansion. As Morgan Stanley's Gerard Minack notes, equity markets have been highly correlated with macro surprises whether economic data have been exceeding, or falling short of, consensus forecasts through this expansion. However, we note that the potential for a market setback is extreme; as the gap between what seems increasingly needed to sustain the rally better growth and earnings news versus the prospect of weaker US growth is as wide as it has been in five years. The macro news flow is now disappointing in the major developed economies. Moreover, theres been a pseudo-seasonal pattern to the ebb and flow of surprises, with weakness typical in the middle quarters of the year. The very recent weakness in the US is more troubling though as it is set against the backdrop of already-sluggish global growth, which is most pronounced in the developed markets; and reflecting the sag in global growth (and earnings), global equities have already stalled outside the US. The out-performance of equities versus bonds over the past year is consistent with solid macro improvement and as the chart below indicates, that hope is fading fast.

 

Mike Maloney: Today's Low Gold & Silver Prices Are Not Realistic Mike believes that the monetary system will collapse under the weight of too many claims on a limited pool of sound money; and that we will witness the birth of a new monetary regime within the next ten years. What makes this moment in history unique is that all past monetary regime collapses have happened regionally. This is the first time in human history in which all the world's major currencies are collapsing together. Which is why he is so passionate about owning gold and silver. In his opinion, we will soon witness the greatest transfer of wealth ever seen, as countries worldwide realize they need to revert to monetary systems backed by sound money (i.e., the precious metals). Those acquiring gold and silver beforehand will not only preserve their wealth as existing fiat currencies are extinguished, but will see staggering increases in their purchasing power.

 

Empire Fed Latest Economic Disappointment, Drops To Lowest Since January, Misses ExpectationsAs if the world needed yet another confirmation that the US economy is floundering (even if it means a new all time high for the now largely laughable farce formerly known as the S&P500), it just got it courtesy of the April Empire Fed Mfg Index, which dropped for the second month in a low to the lowest since January, printing at just 3.05, down from 9.24, and well below expectations of 7.00. Supposedly this too will be blamed on either balmy April weather, or Easter. The key New Orders index dropped from 8.18 to 2.20, which in itself may be insufficient to push the S&P to new all time highs, so the Shipments drop from 7.76 to 0.75 should definitely top the ES well into the green. The only piece of bad news for the "market" was the Number of Employees, which rose from 3.23 to 6.82. Although this may be one of those reports where bad data is great, but good data is greater.

Fear The Uncorrelated Stock Market Asset price correlations across a wide spectrum of industries and asset classes are meaningfully lower than the last few months. ConvergEx's Nick Colas note that this is something completely unexpected: weve approached a Normal capital market over the last 30 days. S&P 500 sector correlations are below 80% relative to the index, foreign stocks are 77-87% correlated to U.S. stocks, and even domestic high yield corporate bonds are 56% dancing to their own tune. However, before we run off celebrating the return to a stock-pickers market, it is worth noting one statistical point worth your time: when industry sector correlations have dropped below 80% from 2010 to the present, the subsequent one month, one quarter and one year returns have been below average, especially the shorter time frames.

 

The Aerodynamics Of NihilismWe live in a world now which may be described as, "Nothing Matters."The money pours in each month from America, Europe and Japan and overrides anything and everything else. With pre-payments and calls the estimated amount of money provided by the Fed for the world's monetary supply is approximately $100 billion every month. It is not just the American banks that are the recipients of the hand-out but the foreign ones who ship it back to Europe or buy European sovereign debt courtesy of Mr. Bernanke. I suspect that if the American taxpayers were aware of the scheme that the citizens would not be pleased but then what the Fed is doing is not generally part of polite conversation in America and so it is not discussed.

 

The Week That Was: April 8th-12th 2013 Succinctly summarizing the positive and negative news, data, and market events of the week...

 

USDJPY Plummets After US Treasury Says It Should Refrain From "Competitive Devaluation" Curious why the USDJPY is in freefall after hours? Thank Jack Lew, and the after the close release of the semi-annual "Report to Congress on International Economic and Exchange Rate Policies." Traditionally the place where many have looked to see if the US would declare China a currency manipulator (which will never happen for obvious reasons), this time there was a big Easter egg lying in wait for those who did a word search for "competitive devaluation" - namely that it was located in the section discussing Japan.

 

Gold Bitcoined, Bonds And Yen Soar, Dow Back To Unch (Of Course) Gold was Bitcoin'd (or Baumgartner'd) as it suffered its biggest daily drop since LTRO2 on 2/29/12. The JPY rallied over 1% - its biggest rise in 7 weeks. 10Y Treasuries had their best day in 7 weeks. Macro data was absymal. But it was evident that the only thing mattered was a new high close for the Dow - as we noted 10 minutes before the close: And thanks to some help from the old ramp standbys - HYG and VIX - they nearly made it (but not quite) as the Dow ended -0.08 points rallying 75 points off the lows on the worst macro data day in months, with the EURUSD ramping just the right amount over 1.31.

 

RANsquawk Weekly Wrap - 12th April 2013

 

Railcar Loadings Drop Most Year-To-Date Since Crisis This must be bullish. While the rise in railcar loadings (whether driven by the rotation from pipelines to rail or a 'real' recovery in the economy) has been impressive off the lows and had got back to pre-recession levels, this year is not looking so good. The typical seasonal pattern - somewhat obviously - starts around mid January and rises all year tending to roll over around the start of November into holiday season. 1995 was the last year that intermodal railcar loadings rolled over notably away from this pattern. Since mid-January, 2013 has seen a notably different pattern from the norm - worse than 2009's abrupt plunge.

 

Mario Draghi Orders Cyprus To Sell Gold To Cover Bailout "Shortfall" Update, and sure enough: PANICOS DEMETRIADES SAYS CYPRUS CENTRAL BANK INDEPENDENCE UNDER ATTACK. As a reminder, Panicos hold the now obsolete position of head of the Cyprus Central Bank. As was noted two days ago (so certainly not the news catalyst for today's gold sell off as some are trying to make it appear) as part of its bailout expansion by 35%, Cyprus announced, then refuted, then re-admitted, it would need to fund a portion of the incremental 7 billion in cash demands by selling 400 million, or nearly all 13.9 tons, of its central bank gold. Today, we learn that this demand came from none other than the head of the ECB Mario Draghi. Bloomberg reports: "European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said the profits of any gold sales by the Cypriot central bank must be used to cover losses it may sustain from emergency loans to Cypriot commercial banks."

 

TIC-TIC-TIC: The Ominous Warning In Foreigners' U.S. Bond Positions As of later this month, well receive the final picture on Chinas U.S. bond sales over late 2011 and early 2012, and the reaction isnt likely to be much different than it was last year. But, we argue that theres actually quite a lot to see. Namely, theres a brand new reason to be concerned about Americas access to foreign capital. In a nutshell, America needs foreigners to be both willing and able to buy its bonds. China is able but much less willing than it used to be. (Treasury data that isnt shown here suggests its interest in U.S. securities recovered somewhat in late 2012, but remains far short of the levels of two years ago.) Other countries are willing but not nearly as able as China, notwithstanding the sharp increase in purchases in the recent period. And overall, the message in the preliminary TIC data is more worrisome than it may appear on the surface. Should the final report on April 30th confirm the message, consider it a warning of a potentially disastrous future decline in foreign purchases of U.S. debt.

 

Guest Post: The Tunnel People That Live Under The Streets Of America Did you know that there are thousands upon thousands of homeless people that are living underground beneath the streets of major U.S. cities?  It is happening in Las Vegas, it is happening in New York City and it is even happening in Kansas City.  As the economy crumbles, poverty in the United States is absolutely exploding and so is homelessness.  In addition to the thousands of "tunnel people" living under the streets of America, there are also thousands that are living in tent cities, there are tens of thousands that are living in their vehicles and there are more than a million public school children that do not have a home to go back to at night.  The federal government tells us that the recession "is over" and that "things are getting better", and yet poverty and homelessness in this country continue to rise with no end in sight.  So what in the world are things going to look like when the next economic crisis hits?

 

US Economic Data Plunges Most In 10 Months To 4-Month Lows Judging by the stock markets the last two weeks have been one of the best periods ever but the reality - hidden behind a smoke-screen of central bank liquidity and jawboning mirrors is dire. The last ten days have seen miss-after-miss in macro economic data - in fact this is the biggest plunge in macro data in 10 months. Despite the stock market's exuberance (at all-time highs), macro data has rolled over dramatically to 4-month lows. Of the major economic data points we have missed 18 of the last 20. With sentiment sagging, GDP revising lower, and earnings season disappointing, we can only imagine the BTFD opportunities that await.

 

Consumer Confidence Plummets To Nine Month Low, Biggest Miss To Consensus On Record Well if this doesn't send the market into all-time record high territory, nothing ever will: seconds ago the UMich Consumer Confidence plummeted from 78.6 to 72.3, on expectations of an unchanged 78.6 print. This was not only a 9 month low in the index, but more importantly the biggest miss to expectations in recorded history! Both conditions (84.8, Exp 89.5, Last 90.7) and expectations (64.2, Exp.70.0, Last 70.8), imploded, with the current conditions number the worst print since July and posting the biggest drop since August 2011. Surely if retail sales was not a sufficient Conviction Buy signal for the Fed, then Consumer Confidence should send Kevin Henry, who is now mainlining a trail mix cocktail of Redbull, Caffeine and Meth, into F5 overdrive. And if that doesn't do it, the final economic miss of the day, Business Inventories which also missed expectations of a 0.4% print, and dropped from 0.9% to 0.1%, the lowest since September 2011 and biggest miss since September 2012, should certainly cement today's 1600+ S&P close.

 

Usage Of 401(k)s As An ATM Soars By 28% In Q4Nearly one-fifth all people with a 401(k) plan have at least one outstanding loan from it with those under 30 years old having taken an average 38.2% of their remaining untouched balance as the new ATM to maintain the credit-fueled standard of living. In a press release from Wells Fargo, data based on 1.9 million 401(k) holders shows that Q4 2012 saw a stunning 28% surge in the number of people taking loans from their retirement plans. While the numbers are scary for younger people, the older generation is taking more loans with 34.2% of those in their 50s and 28.9% of those in their 60s having taken loans from their retirement plans. Yet another example of the 'strength' of the recovery as those with at least one loan outstanding had an average balance in their retirement plan of $7,764! So much for the wealth effect.

 

March Retail Slide, Miss Expectations, Post Biggest Drop Since June Add retail sales to the ongoing economic US crunch, which, just as predicted here in February, would start taking place once the regular seasonal adjustment rotation out of the "strong" winter season into spring started and once the now annual European swoon in the spring spread to the US, as it always does. Sure enough, March retail sales missed across the board, with headline down -0.4% (exp. 0.0%, Feb revised lower to 1.0%), ex autos down -0.4% as well (exp. 0.0%, last 1.0%), and ex autos and gas -0.1, on expectations of a +0.3%. This was the biggest miss ex autos since June and the biggest drop since June as well. More troubling perhaps for the true strength of the US consumer, electronics sales dumped -3.2% Y/Y (confirms the collapse in PC sales reported yesterday), while general merchandise sales declined by 4.9% year over year. As we have said all along, the US consumer - that very levered driver of 70% of US GDP - even when factoring in the trillion + in student loans, is getting very much tapped out. But at least car sales, funded by the still very generous Federal Reserve and Uncle Sam, of course, are merrily chugging along at a +6.5% Y/Y pace.

 

The One-Chart Summary Of All That Is Wrong With The US Financial System: JPM Deposits Over Loans The chart below may be the best one-chart summary of all that is wrong with the US financial system. It is a very simple chart - it shows total JPMorgan deposits, loans and the excess difference of deposits over loans.

 

JPMorgan Changes VaR Calculation For Fourth Time In Past Year Earlier today, as part of our JPM earnings recap we observed that "VaR plunged from $106 to $62" and wondered if it was just just "another excel copy/paste error" which as we reported previously, is what JPM's internal audit attributed much of the confusion surrounding JPM's VaR calculation around the time the London Whale blow up nearly doubled the firm's VaR. Because it is always better to blame a clueless intern for botching Excel than to put the blame where it rightfully belongs.  It turns out that as frequently happens, there was a dose of financial surreality behind the humor. As Bloomberg reports, the reason for the nearly 50% collapse in the company's reported maximum value at risk was because of, drumroll, yet another change in the model. 'JPMorgan said today it employed a new formula to judge the risk of its credit derivatives position, at least the fourth such model its used since January 2012. The portfolio was built by Bruno Iksil, known as the London Whale because his bets were so big they moved markets."

JPM Beats Thanks To $1.1 Billion Reserve Release, Revenue Misses, Drops By $900 Million, NIM At Post-Crisis Low If JPM and its "fortress" balance sheet and business model are supposed to represent Q1 earnings for US banks, it will not be a good start to the year. While EPS beat expectations solidly, coming at $1.59 on expectations of $1.39 print, this was largly driven by a bigger than expected loan loss reserve release in its real estate portfolios ($650MM pretax), and card services ($500MM pretax), which was the largest combined release number since the $2 billion reduction in Q1 2012. This took down total JPM total loan loss reserves to $20.8 billion, down from $21.9 billion in Q4, and down $5.1 billion from the $25.9 billion a year ago. This happened even though JPM's NPL declined far more modestly, from $10.7 billion to just $10.4 billion. It was the revenue of $25.12 that missed expectations of $25.85, down from $26.05 billion a year ago, and which is the bigger issue for the bank, driven by disappointing trading results with fixed income markets revenue of $4.8 Billion, down 5% YoY, equity markets revenue of $1.3 Billion, down 6% YoY, and Securities Services revenue of $974mm, flat YoY. Not surprisingly in order to maintain expenses, headcount continue to decline from 258,753 to 255,898.

Initial Claims Tumble From Upward Revised 388K To 346K Following last month's surge in initial claims (subsequently revised even higher from 385K to 388K), the monthly edition in the series tumbled by 44K to 344K, below estimates of 360K, and which will be revised to 348K or so next month. The reason for the volatility given by the DOL is the "unwind of seasonal swings" which would make sense as the unadjusted number actually rose by 37,025, or about the amount the adjusted number dropped by. Continuing claims rose more than expected to 3,079K, from 3067K, however the number was revised so it can be palatable for MSM consumption, and as a result of the upward revision of February from 3063K to 3091K, it "declined." It is unclear how many if any states were estimate by the DOL in this month's edition of pick the noisy number. Most importantly, unlike the entire past two weeks, a good economic print is good for the market, not just a bad economic print.

 

Guest Post: 30 Blocks Of Squalor - Government Built It, But They Didn't Come The money printing of the Federal Reserve with no anchor to gold has allowed the welfare state to grow to immense proportions. It has allowed politicians to buy votes by spending taxpayer dollars on multi-million dollar Keynesian zero return albatrosses. It has allowed politicians to enslave black people on a welfare plantation of entitlements. Bernanke and his cronies reward mal-investment through their policies. They reward bad behavior (borrowing & spending), while punishing good behavior (saving and investing). West Philly is a testament to failed economic policies, government waste, lack of personal responsibility, corrupt politicians, excessive union costs, and the delusional belief that government can create economic growth. The 30 Blocks of Squalor is descending further into squalor and it will accelerate as Bernankes policies further destroy what remains of capitalism in this country.

 

Who Goes Next: Portugal Or Slovenia - The Forensic TakeThe troubles in Cyprus have set off a new examination of the health of the eurozone, with a particular focus on which country might be next in line for a bailout and the extent to which shareholders and depositors will take losses when banks fail (bail-ins). As UK think-tank, OpenEurope notes, much of the attention has settled on two countries. Portugal, which has been propelled back into the headlines, with the countrys constitutional court recently ruling against some of the governments EU-mandated budget cuts. Secondly, Slovenia, which is facing a massive banking crisis, in turn providing another potential testing ground for the eurozones vaguely defined bail-in plans. OpenEurope provides a quick run-down of the key points to watch in each country.

 

30 Year Auction A Dud Following much anticipation that today's 30 Year would go off like gangbusters, and with the When Issued ripping to 2.990% at 1 PM, the final result was essentially a dud, with the high yield pricing at 2.998%, leading to a rather substantial tail of 0.8 bps. The internals were rather poor as well, with the Bid to Cover coming in well below the 12 TTM average of 2.62 at 2.49, the Directs taking down 19.2%, Dealers left with their usual average of 49.3%, but with Indirects, which is precisely where the Japanese bid would have materialized, ending with just 31.4% of the take down, well below the 42% in March, below the TTM of 35.4% and the lowest since October's 26.5%. So what gives? And was the surge in the USDJPY ahead of the auction unwarranted? It would appear so. But where are the Japanese FI outflows going then? Simple - it seems that at least one group of buyers has ignored Pimco and BlackRock's advice, and instead has allocated all their "rotating" cash into high yielding Italian and Spanish bonds to capitalize on the EURJPY carry trade. What can possibly go wrong? We will let Mr. Jon Corzine explain that to Mrs. Watanabe...

 

Short Squeeze Hits Escape Velocity The 'most shorted' names in the Russell 3000 are up a remarkable 1.4% today compared to 0.45% in the index itself. The short-squeeze off the NFP gap-down lows is impressive indeed. From the open last Friday, the 'most short' names are up 6.6% against the index up only 3.5% as the dash for trash continues in the face of increasingly dismal data. The last 2 times that the 'most short' index was this squeezed relative to the index was late-December (before the equity dip) and mid-Fed (before the equity dip). Just as we warned here and here, the inexorable flow of easy money means the dash-for-trash (as remarkably ridiculous as it seems - though as now know nothing is allowed to fail ever again) has been the winning trade; though as we note below, there is a limit to the 'squeezability' and we appear to be there in the short term.  BitCoin Halted

 

Guest Post: The Eroding Premium On Truth And Trust Manipulation and carefully crafted distortion erode trust, not just in the individuals employed to repeat the lies but in the institutions that issue them. The ruthless pursuit of self-interest is now the norm; truth is a terribly risky disruptor that must be hidden, masked or countered with plausible lies. There can be no trust if there is no truth. How can we trust people who lie to us constantly, who issue one self-serving justification after another for their own parasitic predation? We cannot. The premium in America has shifted from truth to self-serving distortion, and from trust to manipulation. This spiritual and moral rot will end gloriously, have no doubt, for the stock market's permanent ascendancy dissolves all other narratives.

 

Spanish Home Prices Plunge Most On Record Despite reassurances from D-Boom that "Spain can once again be the engine of growth for Europe," the troubled nation appears to be going from bad to worse. House prices dropped 9.7% YoY in Q4 2012, its biggest drop on record, taking the price back to 2004 levels. This price pressure merely exacerbates the Spanish banking system's delinquent loans and drives up unemployment. But Spain is not alone, Slovenia, which many have their eye on for being the next bail-in, saw house prices slide 8.8% according to IBTimes. Perhaps there is a correlation between house price bubbles (cough US cough) and banking/sovereign collapse.

Overnight Sentiment: Keep Ignoring Fundamentals, Keep BuyingFutures green? Check. Overnight ramp in either the EURUSD or USDJPY carry funding pair? Check? Lack of good economic news and plethora of economic misses? Check. In short, all the ingredients for continued New Normal record highs, driven only by the central bank liquidity tsunami are here. The weakness started with Australia's stunning unemployment jump overnight which saw a 36,100 drop in jobs on just 7,500 expected. A miss in Chinese auto sales was next, with 1.59MM cars sole in March, below the 1.596 expected, and even despite the surge in M2 and loan data, the Shanghai Composite closed down once again, dropping 0.29% to 2219.6. Nikkei continued its deranged liquidity-fueled ways, rising 1.96% even as Kuroda is starting to become quite concerned about the rapid move in the Yen, saying he "may adjust policy before the 2% target is reached if the economy and other indicators are growing rapidly." They aren't, and won't be, but if the Nikkei225 is confused for the economy, he just may push on the breaks which would send the only reason for the latest rally, the USDJPY tumbling. Finally, looking at Europe, Italy sold well less than the maximum €6 billion targeted in 2016, 2017 and 2028 bonds, which dented some of the enthusiasm for Italian paper although with Japanese money desperate to be parked somewhere, it will continue going into European and all other fixed income, distorting market signals for a long time. In short, expect the central-bank risk levitation to continue as all the deteriorating fundamentals and reality are ignored once more, and hopium and P/E multiple expansion are the only story in town.

Will We Never Learn? While many of us have been shouting about this from the rooftops for years now, with each passing day it becomes more clear what a terrifyingly gigantic powder keg we have created.  There is no debate that this will end in a compete financial holocaust, the only question is when and how.  As time progresses, the practices and desperation of the status quo to keep the sheeple in debt and consuming is getting increasingly insane. Introducing the 97-month auto loan...

 

 

Housing 'Recovery' Shifts To Contraction Despite the market knowing better, the so-called housing recovery has hit a speed-bump (or brick-wall). Goldman's housing swirlogram shows that the revisions from an exuberant few months into January 2013 have dragged the reality of the 'recovery' rotating into full-blown 'expansion' to a crumble back into 'contraction'. Of course, we have seen homebuilder stocks exuberant like this before in the face of disappointing facts, but even the NAHB (desperate to portray confidence) is 'admitting' things are not as rosy as all-time highs in stocks might suggest.

 

 

Europe Extends Confiscatory Non-Template 'Template' To Interbank Deposits While every European leader, banker, street-sweeper has made a point to use the phrase "Cyprus was not a template" in the last few weeks since D-Boom dropped his tape-bomb, it appears that in reality plans continue to push ahead to indeed 'legalize' these confiscations. As Reuters reports, European Union ministers will consider a proposal this week to impose losses on short-term interbank deposits of lenders. The proposal is part of wider talks to consider when depositors should be bailed-in. Of course, it makes sense that banks should 'not' get special treatment for their overnight lending operations to one another, but the EU leaders want to ensure that these 'sacred' deposits do not escape confiscation, "while it is acknowledged that bailing in interbank liabilities may carry certain risks; on balance, it is preferable... that these liabilities are not excluded from bail-in". Of course, this will worry the ECB as they have worked so hard to unfreeze the interbank lending market post-crisis (with their direct backstops and intermediation). So while there is no template, and Cyprus is unique, it appears the new 'resolution' laws provide a clear plan (not template) for reaching all the way down the capital structure just as they did in Cyprus (and is legally correct from a pari passu basis).

 

 

Did The Shorts Capitulate? We noted yesterday that the 'gains' that shorts had temporarily enjoyed from the start of April were rapidly squeezed out since the gap-open lows on NFP Friday. However, yesterday's massive outperformance of the Russell 3000's 'most-shorted' names relative to the index itself suggest more than a few weak hands threw in the towel. Desk chatter this morning was that this was the largest cover day since June. Of course, this morning's ramp suggests there are more stops and shorts to be chewed through yet...

 

 

Here We Go: Cyprus To Sell 400 Million In Gold, About 75% Of Its Total Holdings, To Finance Part Of Its Bailout Curious why every bank and their grandmother, and most recently Goldman today, has been lining up to push the price of gold as low as possible? Here's why: CYPRUS TO SELL 400 MLN EUROS WORTH OF GOLD RESERVES TO FINANCE PART OF ITS BAILOUT - TROIKA DOCUMENTS RTRS  Or about 10 tons of gold. But... the bailout was prefunded and there was no need to provide any additional cash? What happened: was the deposit outflow discovered to have been even greater than the worst case scenario and thus Cyprus needed even more cash? As for the buyers? We will venture a guess: central banks buying at the lows. Finally: congratulations Cypriots. You are now handing over your gold for the one time, unbeatable opportunity to remain a vassal state to the Eurozone. But at least you have your .

 

10 Year US Paper Prices In Subpar Auction Moments ago the Treasury priced it latest monthly issuance of 10 Year bonds in the form of a $21 billion reopening of one of the Fed's favorite CUSIPs to monetize, the 912828UN8 first auctioned off in February. The auction was hardly stellar, with the yield closing at 1.795%, tailing the When Issued of 1.790% by half a basis point. The Bid to Cover was also rather weak at 2.79, well below March's 3.19, and under the TTM average of 2.96%. Yet for all the complaining by the Dealer community, they ended up taking down 33.6% of the auction, with $40.8 billion in bids tendered, a 17.3% hit rate, and well above the 22.3% take down in March. The direct took down a sizable 29.1%, above the TTM average of 21.6%, leaving 37.3% to the Indirects, precisely as much as they had been allotted in the average auction during the past year. Still, hardly was the auction the disaster that Goldman's downgrade of the 10 Year point on the curve would have made it seem earlier today.

Guest Post: Which Dominoes Are Next To Fall In Europe? Wondering which dominoes are next to fall in Europe? Here is a list based on a simple but powerful precept: follow the smart money. In this case, the smart money entered the at-risk banking sector of a particular nation to skim the fat premium offered by its higher interest rates--rates that reflected the higher risk. The smart money then exits the nations' banking sector before the inevitable solvency crisis triggers capital controls and depositor expropriations (the comically misleading "bail-in"). Why is any money left in at-risk periphery banks? "Things fail from the periphery to the core." With this in mind, we might arrange the dominoes in this order: Slovenia, Portugal, Malta, and then Spain.

 

Cyprus Suspends Probe Into Who Withdrew Money EarlyIn a day full of stunners, we next get news from Cyprus, where a few weeks after the start of the "investigation" into who pulled their cash out of the country's doomed banking system in advance of the confiscation news on March 16 (and where even the current president was implicated in transferring over 20 milion in family money to London) the parliamentary committee tasked with tracking down the leaks, has suspended its probe. As it turns out, it was "all the central bank's fault", which was charged with providing the data. The head of the Cypriot parliament's ethics committee, which was due to look into a list detailing transfers of more than 100,000 euros from the two major banks - Bank of Cyprus and Cyprus Popular Bank - said on Tuesday that the list fell short of what he had requested. "It was with great disappointment and anger that, when we opened the envelope, we realized it contained data for only 15 days even though we had asked for a year," lawmaker Demetris Syllouris told reporters. "This kind of behavior is unacceptable."

 

Europe Is 'Fixed' Again No news is good news apparently. European stocks had their best day in over seven months today. Spanish and Italian equity indices surged - now +4.7% on the week. Italian bank stocks were halted limit up. European bank stocks smashed 6% higher - the biggest rally day since early September. Sovereign bond spreads leaked lower (Italy/Spain -16-20bps on the week). EURUSD ended the EU session -20pips (but off over 65 pips from overnight highs). While stocks went out at their highs (and credit at its tights), Europe's VIX pushed notably off its lows into the close - ending at 19.2% (and Swiss2Y held near its lows of the year).

Just as amusing is that according to his LinkedIn profile, Brian is involved in virtually every governmental organization, up to an including the Securities and Exchange Commission Alumni Association.

Another Dow Record As 3:30 Pump Becomes 3:30 Dump The 'down-up' streak is over, long live the next streak. Precious metals had a big day with Silver and Gold surging 1-2% (among the biggest moves in 7 months); Treasuries pushed higher in yield from the open but faded rapidly into the close to end unchanged ay 1.75%; Commodities in general were bid on the back (supposedly) of China's lower inflation print; IG credit was bid while HY credit (spreads not the HYG ETF) rolled over into the close. What was most evident was the total and utter failure of the 3:30pm Ramp - it seems our discussion of the farce last night brought a world of front-runners to the game and runied the Algos day as instead orallying S&P 500 futures dropped 4 points in the last 30 minutes - this is the biggest 3:30-to-4:00 loss in six week (and 3rd biggest of year). The world was celebrating another new all-time high in the Dow and the S&P gave back half its gains to close +4 points; but the Dow Transports closed -0.3%, and the Russell 2000 (for so long Bernanke's policy tool) ended -0.23%.

 

The Day The Government Seized Americans' Gold - April 5th 1933April 5th, 1933, FDR confiscated every gold coin, bar, or certificate and people had to turn in their gold to the Federal Government or else they would face a fine of $10,000 or 10 years in jail. That is about $179,000 in todays money.  You were able to keep a small amount or some rare coins and those that did give up their gold received about $20/oz.  Why would the government do that? asks Ms. Steel.  They did this for the following reasons: 1)To prevent hoarding. 2)To devalue the dollar during the Great Depression. 3)The government set the gold price at $35/oz and pegged it to the dollar. But this could never happen again, right? asks Ms. Steel. Well tell that to Texas. 

 

Guest Post: Good Banker, Bad Banker It's important to draw a line between two very different flavors of banker: "restrained" (Dr. Jekyll) and "unrestrained" (Mr. Hyde). The key feature of a sustainable, non-parasitic banking sector is that banks and bankers have "skin in the game," i.e. they personally suffer losses when their loans and bets go bad. This is the essence of moral hazard: the separation of risk from consequence. Put another way, those who are insulated from risk will have an insatiable appetite for risky bets because any gains will be theirs to keep but any losses will be covered by the central bank or government: this is known as "privatizing profits and socializing losses." The Federal Reserve, the Obama Administration, the housing agencies and the U.S. Treasury are all offering bankers and financiers high-payoff tables that require no skin in the game. No wonder our system is dominated by the unrestrained bankers, sociopathological Mr. Hydes who offer a few coins in compensation for running down the nation.

 

The Next Capital Control: Banning The 500 Bill As SF Fed's John Williams notes (here), cash is king, but the strange thing is that while credit/debit transactions rise exponentially, the cash in circulation is also rising at a rapid pace. So where does all the cash go? The short answer is into large-denomination bills and out of the country by his findings. While low denomination bills suffer (as we discussed here) it is worth asking who is 'hoarding' the $100 bills? This is the question that BofAML asks in Europe as the huge EUR500 Bill (the developed world's highest value note in circulation) remains in great demand (apparanelty by shady offshore types). This is not good news for the central banks of the world as they run dry of monetary policy tools to drive velocity in money (or spending). BofAML's proposal: Ban the EUR500 Bill; force those shady people who 'stack' these high denomination bills to spend that money into circulation. This would appear to be the latest 'capital control' strawman, 'floated' to eliminate the people's right to keep cash segregated from a banking system and out of broad electronic circulation. So in both the US and Europe, high denomination bills are being hoarded (or exported to 'safe' havens) as Williams notes, "around the world, during periods of political unrest or war, cash - especially the currency of a stable country... - is seen as a safe asset that can be spirited out of harms way with relative ease." This, of course, is not what the elites want - and we suspect a "ban the EUR500 Bill" legislation will be coming soon to the EU Commission.

 

Short Squeeze? Silver Surges Most In 7 Months Following yesterday's note on the near-record level of shorts in Silver futures, it is perhaps just a coincindence that spot silver prices are surging today - their biggest jump in seven months. Gold is also having one of its best 3-day runs in the last nine months, yet both moves are peanuts compared to what is going on in the "electronic" asset arena, namely the policy vehicle formerly known as "stocks" and BitCoin, both of which are racing for the title of most insane parabolic bubble ever.

 

Non-Dealer Interest In 3 Year US Paper Plunges To January 2009 LevelsA few days ago, Bloomberg released an article in which it described the lamentations emanating from the Primary Dealers whose role in bond purchases is being increasingly undercut by Direct bidders who get to buy US paper directly from the Treasury and without Dealer intermediation. Well, no such worries in today's just concluded $32 billion auction of 3 Year paper, which closed moments ago at a high yield of 0.342%, the lowest "high yield" in 2013 and a Bid To Cover of 3.238, the lowest since September 2011. But what was most notable is that the combined take down of Directs and Indirects was a tiny 35.1%: the lowest non Dealer interest since January 2009. Naturally, the Dealer take down was the inverse or 64.9%, which also was the largest since January 2009. Obviously all this paper will be promptly sold back to the Fed, but any artificial (and inaccurate) concerns that Dealers are not getting their due allocation of paper can now be put to rest.

 

The 2012 Analog Continues While the 2012 Deja-Vu chart analog continues to play out in far too similarly scary manner than many had believed possible, a glance at the catalysts over the two months that form the 'tops' should also send a shiver down the spine of the momentum believers. In 2012, the first dip was the Greek default and restructuring (a Europe-based crisis risk flare); that dip was bought (of course) as "the worst is behind us," only to see a miss in US non-farm payrolls confirm the "it's different this time," hopers were wrong once again. In 2013, the Italian election created a Europe crisis risk-flare, which was bought (of course) as "the ECB has our back", and then a month later, the non-farm payroll prints at a dismal level. For now, we remain hopefully bid on a sea of central bank liquidity (just as we were in 2012 thanks to ECB's LTROs) but what happens when 'markets' realize the hole is bigger than the central banks can fill?

 

Guest Post: What Do Interest Rates Tell Us About The Economy Despite the mainstream analysts' calls for a "great rotation" by investors from bonds to stocks - the reality has been quite the opposite.  While the 10-year treasury rate rose from the recessionary lows signaling some economic recovery in 2009; the decline in rates coincided with the evident peak in economic growth for the current cycle that begin in earnest in 2012 - "With rates plunging in recent weeks the indictment from the bond market concurs with the longer term data that the economy remains at risk." Despite the calls for the end of the "bond bubble" the current decline in interest rates are suggesting that the real risk is to the economy.  The aggressive monetary intervention programs by the Federal Reserve, along with the ECB and BOJ, continue to support the financial markets but are gaining little traction within the real economy. Of course, this is likely why the current quantitative easing program is "open-ended" because the Fed has finally realized that there is no escape.   The next economic crisis is coming - the only questions are "when" and "what causes it?"  The problem is that next time - monetary policy might not save investors.

More Than 101 Million Working Age Americans Do Not Have A Job  The jobs recovery is a complete and total myth.  The percentage of the working age population in the United States that had a job in March 2013 was exactly the same as it was all the way back in March 2010.  In addition, as you will see below, there are now more than 101 million working age Americans that do not have a job.  But even though the employment level in the United States has consistently remained very low over the past three years, the Obama administration keeps telling us that unemployment is actually going down. Anyone that tells you that "a higher percentage of Americans are working today" is telling you a complete and total lie.  The sad truth is that there has been no jobs recovery whatsoever. If things were getting better, there would not be more than 101 million working age Americans without a job.  http://albertpeia.com/morethan101millionwojobs.htm

 

As Confidence In Dollar Wanes, Over A Dozen States Push For Gold As Legal Tender In more than a dozen states, legislators are pushing for a movement back to a world where gold is considered money. As Bloomberg reports, lawmakers in Arizona are poised to follow Utah, which authorized bullion for currency in 2011. Similar bills are advancing in Kansas, South Carolina and other states to recognize gold and silver coins as legal tender. "The legislation is about signaling discontent with monetary policy and about what Ben Bernanke is doing," which seems confirmed by the recent shift in Texas to bring its gold back from the New York bank warehouse. The new measures would give "people the option of using money that wont lose any purchasing power to inflation," one supporter of the bill explained, with another adding, "there is a fear that the government, or Bernanke in particular and the Federal Reserve, is pursuing a policy that will lead to the collapse of the dollar." The U.S. Constitution bars states from coining money and also forbids them from making anything except gold and silver coin tender for paying debts. Advocates say that opens the door for the states to allow bullion as legal tender.

 

JCPenney CEO Ron Johnson Is OutSo much for the "transformational" CEO, poached from AAPL and credited with creating the AAPL retail mystique. As per CNBC, he now effectively "out": J.C. PENNEY TO OUST RON JOHNSON AS CEO: CNBC   J.C. PENNEY'S CEO JOHNSON `IS OUT': CNBC  At least he lasted just a bit longer than the former JCP president Mike Francis, who came, saw, collected $10 million, and quit nine months later.

 

Down, Up, Down, Up, Down, Up, Down, Up, Down, Up, Down, Up, Down... UpThanks to yet another JPYgasm (which saw the currency lose 1.8% against the USD on the day), stocks were levitated off early weakness amid the lowest non-holiday volume day and lowest average trade size. The message we are supposed to garner is "we don't need no stinkin' jobs" as all the cash indices were lifted to fill the non-farm payroll gap. Treasury yields rose 2-3bps but the 30Y remains massively off pre-NFP levels (as opposed to stocks) suggestive of the JPY rotation bid. Homebuilders were the high-beta ramp of choice, gaining almost 2% (why not?) on absolutely no news whatsoever (and are 2.6% higher than pre-NFP! Copper and Oil rose around 0.9% on the day even with the USD gaining 0.25% broadly. Silver and Gold leaked 0.4% lower from Friday's close. VIX dropped around 0.5 vols holding at 13.5% (below its pre-NFP level). So stocks back to pre-NFP levels (as is the USD) on dismal volume, VIX better than that, but safety is bid with Swiss rates, US Treasuries, and Gold in demand. JPY remains the story - now 7% weaker against the USD since the BoJ news - orderly?

 

80% Chance Of 40% Silver Short SqueezeIn the last 20 years, Silver shorts (in Silver futures, based on the Commitment of Traders data) has only been as high as it is currently for five periods. Four of those five periods were followed by considerable rallies in silver prices. The one period where prices flatlined (fell modestly) was a slow and steady rise in shorts (as opposed to the spike-like move currently). Of course, with near record amounts on the short side of the boat, it would seem clear where Silver should go next but this time is different we will be told.

 

Guest Post: Are Canadian Oil Policies Misguided?The provincial government in Alberta is mulling new rules that would require the oil industry to cut greenhouse gas emissions tied to oil sands production by as much as 40 percent per barrel. The measure may be part of the federal government's push to allay Washington's concerns about the Keystone XL pipeline. Some of the concern surrounding the production of oil sands, the type of oil designated for the controversial pipeline, is that it's more carbon intensive to produce than conventional oil. Alberta's government has expressed concern that it won't be able to meet its emission targets without new rules, though some in the oil industry may be already ahead of the game. While emissions may be part of the debate over the controversial cross-border pipeline, a financial analysis suggests the Canadian government is looking in the wrong direction.

 

The Next Domino: Australia Doubles Tax On Retirement SavingsThough Australias national balance sheet is comparatively quite strong, the government has been running at a net deficit for years... and theyre under intense pressure to balance the budget. The good news is that Australia now has a goodly number of investor-friendly immigration programs designed to bring productive foreigners into the country, similar to the trend were seeing across Europe. On the flip side, though, the Australian government has just announced new rules which penalize citizens who have responsibly set aside savings for their own retirement. If the Australian government can unilaterally change the rules and start double-taxing retirement accounts, so can the US. And the trillions of dollars in retirement savings in the Land of the Free is far too irresistible for them to ignore.

 

Putin, Merkel Charged By Naked Female ProtestersWhile we are sure Frau Merkel and Tovarish Putin are still best buddies since the Cyprus shenanigans, it appears the German host wanted to make sure the Russian felt at home and laid on some entertainment at a tech conference. The two top-less women protesting Putin shouted obscenities and yet the Russian president's face said it all - as did his double finger-pistols.

 

From The Painfully Obvious To The Utterly Ridiculous - Your Taxpayer Dollars At WorkUntil now it has been up to the San Francisco Fed to carry the torch for digging-holes-and-filling-them-back-in style research but the Boston Fed may just have trumped them. In the past the SF Fed has found the painfully obvious such as: it is Bernanke's fault that unemployment duration is so long, that 'this time it really is different', and asked what effect QE3 will have on the US economy. But this research article on the effect of sunspots by the Boston Fed takes the proverbial biscuit. The conclusion, which is perhaps useful for the propagandists-in-chief, is that during sunspot activity, people act less rationally. What next? Do Sagittarians make better lovers economists? We are sure all of these discussions are well researched and will be helpful for tenure and possibly the next Nobel prize.

 

Record 2,564 Spanish Firms File For Bankruptcy In Q1, 45% Higher Than Year AgoPerhaps the best measure to gauge the European recovery is by the soaring number of companies going bust, because only from this perspective is Europe finally "fixed." As Reuters reports citing a report by Axesor, a record 2,564 companies filed for "insolvency proceedings", a more palatable version of the word bankruptcy, in the first quarter - an increase of 10% from Q4 and up a whopping 45% from Q1 2012. The reasons given: "tight credit conditions and meager demand." Or in other words: no actual cash flow to fund demand for products and services. Obviously it will take some truly phenomenal massaging and manipulation to represent GDP as rising in this environment, but we are confident the Spanish authorities are already on it, and somehow the Spanish pension fund, already 97% filled with Spanish government bonds, will somehow have a finger in yet another completely unbelievable economic print which will fool most of the algos most of the time on flashing red Bloomberg headlines.

Guest Post: We're Living Through A Rare Economic Transformation In 1993, management guru Peter Drucker published a short book entitled Post-Capitalist Society. Drucker identified that developed-world economies were entering a new knowledge-based era as opposed to the preceding industrial-based era - which represented just as big a leap from the agrarian-based one it had superseded. From this perspective, the nation-state is no longer indispensable to the knowledge economy, and as a result, Drucker foresaw the emergence of new social structures would arise and co-exist with the nation-state. Drucker summed up the difference between what many term a post-industrial economy and what he calls a knowledge economy this way: "That knowledge has become the resource rather than a resource is what makes our society 'post-capitalist.'  This fact changes – fundamentally – the structure of society.  The means of production is and will be knowledge." Though he doesn’t state it directly, this means that the highly centralized sectors of the economy, from finance to government, will be disrupted by a rapidly evolving, decentralized “society of organizations.”

 

US Macro Data Plunges Most In 10 MonthsThe last two weeks have not been pretty for the 'it's different this time' crowd. Day after day has brough miss after miss in macro-economic data for the US; from PMIs to NFPs, no matter how hard you try, there is not even enough for an 'anecdotal' strategist to pin his BTFD thesis on. Quantitatively, the US macro surprise index has seen its biggest 10-day drop in 10 months, completely reversing all the 'seasonally-adjusted' difference from the 2011 'Deja-Vu' market and macro behavior. So with the first pillar of bullishness (macro data is 'supportive'), it is up to earnings (but but but profitability is at highs) to hold up the market - good luck with that.

 

People Not In Labor Force Soar By 663,000 To 90 Million, Labor Force Participation Rate At 1979 Levels Things just keep getting worse for the American worker, and by implication US economy, where as we have shown many times before, it pays just as well to sit back and collect disability and various welfare and entitlement checks, than to work .The best manifestation of this: the number of people not in the labor force which in March soared by a massive 663,000 to a record 90 million Americans who are no longer even looking for work. This was the biggest monthly increase in people dropping out of the labor force since January 2012, when the BLS did its census recast of the labor numbers. And even worse, the labor force participation rate plunged from an already abysmal 63.5% to 63.3% - the lowest since 1979! But at least it helped with the now painfully grotesque propaganda that the US unemployment rate is "improving."

 

US Secretly Deploys B-1 Strategic Bombers, E-6 "Doomsday" Planes Near North Korea First the US fanfared the placement of two F-22 Raptors in the Osan airbase of South Korea. Then it demonstratively launched a B-2 stealth bomber on a training mission over a South Korean gunnery range. Then it deployed an anti-ballistic missile defense system to Guam and positioned two guided-missile destroyers in the waters near Korea. And now, courtesy of the Aviationist, we learn that the Pentagon has escalated once more in an ongoing cat and mouse game with North Korea, of who blinks first, and dispatched several B-1 ("Bone") Lancer strategic long-range bombers to Andersen Air Force Base in Guam. What is different this time, however, is that unlike the previous very public and widely trumpeted reciprocal escalation steps, this particular deployment has been kept secret from the public (at least the broader public), "a fact that could be the sign that the U.S. is not only making symbolic moves (as the above mentioned ones), but it is preparing for the worst scenario: an attack on North Korea."

 

Stocks Are Not Cheap Presented with little comment aside to note the constant gibberish spewed forth from various media channels that stocks-are-cheap when in a ZIRP environment - that has never been experienced before (though low rates typically indicate lower multiples) -  more stocks than ever before are 'expensive' on a price to forward-earnings basis...

 

The Week That Was: April 1st-5th 2013 Succinctly summarizing the positive and negative news, data, and market events of the week...

 

George Soros Warns "Central Banks Are Creating Financial Instability" While the crisis in Europe is first in Goerge Soros' mind because it is the "hottest" risk flare currently, his biggest concern in what he calls the "disarray in global cooperation," or what we would call 'dueling central banks'. "The almost universal adaptation of quantitative easing," worries him and he notes that "Europe is the last bastion of orthodoxy," in this regard as the aging hedgie warns, "Europe is entering a situation that Japan is desperate to escape from," as "Japan has just abandoned - after 25 years of stagnation - a process that Germany is just in the process of imposing on Europe." But perhaps his clearest concern in this brief clip is that no matter what we are told, the central banks' actions are 'creating' increasing financial instability because, "let's face it, quantitative easing is really and directly competitive devaluation." But it is his comments on the actions of the BoJ that should be most concerning as he stated to CNBC, "What Japan is doing is actually quite dangerous because they are doing it after 25 years of just simply accumulating deficits and not getting the economy going," as he fears, should they actually get something [inflation] started, "they may not be able to stop it." If the yen starts to fall, which it has done, and people in Japan realize that it is liable to continue, and want to put their money abroad, then "the fall may become like an avalanche."

 

Running Out Of Champagne The markets, so abundantly juiced by the more than $100 billion pouring in from the Fed every month, are beginning to tire. Like repeated injections of some pain killer; the effects are noticeably starting to wear off. The thrill may not be gone but it is diminishing and one should take note of the condition of the patient. The ten year Treasury; the long bond. Watch them. Whatever your responsibilities; keep your eye on them. They are serving up lunch and are the best indicator of the courses to come. I believe now they are signaling that we have run out of Champagne and that Mad Dog 20/20 will be served with the duck.

 

 

Real March Unemployment Rate: 11.6% Today, we got the laughable news that the unemployment rate declined even as those not in the labor force grew by over 660,000, while the total civilian non-institutional population grew by just 167,000 to 244,995, meaning the actual labor force declined by 496,000. Which is precisely the issue: fudging the labor force participation rate is how the Obama administration has managed to maintain the myth the economy has grown under his leadership for the past 4+ years. It hasn't, and in fact if one renormalizes for the recent long-term average participation rate of 65.8%, one gets a very different number. How different? A difference that is now at a record compared to what is reported. As the chart below shows, a "renormalization" process indicates a massive and record 4% difference between the reported unemployment rate of 7.6%, and what the real unemployment rate is assuming normal growth of the labor force, which in March was 11.6%, up from 11.3% in February, and the highest since August 2012 when it was 11.7%. More importantly, as the real unemployment chart shows, the economy has not improved by one bit since 2009!

 

 

People Not In Labor Force Soar By 663,000 To 90 Million, Labor Force Participation Rate At 1979 LevelsThings just keep getting worse for the American worker, and by implication US economy, where as we have shown many times before, it pays just as well to sit back and collect disability and various welfare and entitlement checks, than to work .The best manifestation of this: the number of people not in the labor force which in March soared by a massive 663,000 to a record 90 million Americans who are no longer even looking for work.

But at least it helped with the now painfully grotesque propaganda that the US unemployment rate is "improving."

 

Market Responds To NFP - Great Rotation To Safety The kneejerk response to this morning's dismal NFP print was significant disappointment. 10Y yields plunged to a 1.68% handle - its lowest in almost 5 months (and largest 3-day drop in yields in 10 months), S&P futures dropped 10 points (and were already weak overnight), Gold spiked, VIX futures popped over 1 vol to 15.3, and the USD weakened notably against the EUR (which broke above 1.30). The spike is being retraced now but very slowly.

 

Payrolls Plunge To 88K, Biggest Miss Since December 2009, Participation Rate At New 30 Year Low So much for "open-ended QE driven recovery". Moments ago the March Non-farm payroll hit and it was a doozy, printing at 88K, below the lowest forecast of 100K, well below the expected number of 190K, and a tragedy compared to the February revised print of 268K (was 236K). This was the biggest miss to expectations since December 2009 and the worst print since June 2012. The unemployment rate declined to 7.6%, but this was due entirely to the collapse in the labor force participation rate, which declined by 20 bps to 63.3%, a new 30 year low.

New Hampshire was the 'free-est' state in 2011 but fell to 4th this year as North Dakota is 2013's 'free-est' state.

Witches Brew: Part 4 - Reality Bites, The Specter of Things to Come Posted by: tedbits Post date: 04/04/2013 - Witches Brew: Part 4 - Reality Bites The Specter of Things to Come The road to ruin is on plain display and the playbook is easily seen at this juncture. Let’s take a look at how that playbook...

 

Zombie Economists and Why "Financial Genius is After the Fall" Posted by: rcwhalen Post date: 04/04/2013 - The overtly inflationary policy stance of the FOMC is especially significant when you consider that Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke is no longer in control of monetary policy.

 

 

MarketWatch: BREAKING U.S. stocks end higher on Bank of Japan stimulus  { Can you believe this ‘headline’? What total b***s***! All bad news … but there has to be a reason for the manipulated, fraudulent stock market to ralley? How pathetic! }

 

 

Down, Up, Down, Up, Down, Up, Down, Up, Down, Up, Down... Up For the first time since 1981, the S&P 500 has rotated from up to down to up for 12 days in a row - adding 4 points in that time. 10Y Treasury yields have dropped 8 of those 12 days and closing today at 1.75% - their lowest of the year, the biggest 10-day drop in yields in five months - but stocks ignored that correlation. EURJPY was the story of the day as JPY weakened 4% against the USD from the BoJ news - but stocks ignored that correlation. Oil slumped once again on the day (-4% on the week) - but stocks ignored that correlation. Stocks in general oscillated intraday around VWAP (as we sense the algos have no confidence in their correlations) and real money awaits tomorrow's NFP debacle.

 

Daily Disconnect (Or Did Cyprus Matter?)With the 10Y Treasury yield trading with a 1.75% handle - its lowest of the year - it would appear that the fallout from Cyprus (storm-in-a-teacup or not) has had a significant impact on cross-asset class correlations. With safe-haven sectors the only bid holding up a fragile US equity market and EURJPY having been discarded by the algos for any pump-and-dump, it appears stocks are on their own now.

 

A Ton Of Gold Bricks: What Capital Flight Looks Like In Italy Curious why so little has been said about cash flowing out of Italy's banks, especially when even UniCredit's CEO today proudly warned everyone he is all for confiscating uninsured deposits as long as "everyone else is doing it" - and no, he is not kidding, so when it does happen, nobody will be able to say they weren't warned. Maybe it is because Italian cash is actually not leaving the country at all. Instead, real "wealth" is departing the boot-shaped nation, quietly and under the radar, as fast as it can in another form: gold. As the clip below from Bloomberg shows, a car was intercepted at the Italy-Switzerland border, with a very special cargo: several bars of gold weighing a whopping one ton, worth $6 million. Furthermore, one can be absolutely certain that for every car that is caught at the border with a ton of "golden" cargo, there are 99 that pass through undisturbed and undetected. Which makes perfect sense: what better way to circumvent shadow capital controls such as those virtually everywhere in Europe, than to convert one's paper money within country A so it stays in country A, into a far more valuable, anonymous and transportable store of wealth, such as gold, and quietly move it to country B, the one where the risk of deposit confiscation is (for now at least) far less?

 

Six Steps To "Stash Your Cash" OffshoreFrom wealthy citizens trying to pay less tax, to savvy swindlers and drug lords with riches to hide, people have spent decades stealthily shifting money via European principalities, Caribbean archipelagos, and Pacific islands. ICIJ provides the following simple six-step process for 'stashing your cash'; from 'Choosing a haven' to creating a 'secret identity' and from opening the 'right' bank account to how to 'move' the money; this picturesque guide may be indispensable as Europe's final 'deposit haircut' solution draws ever closer - especially now we know there is 'no plan B."

 

If Japan's "Shock And Awe" QE Happened In The US....This is your QE on Bernanke: $85 billion per month or $1 trillion per year. This is your QE on Japanese monetary drugs: $200 billion per month or $2.4 trillion per year.

 

MF Global Trustee Speaks: It Was All Corzine's FaultIn the somewhat unsurprising conclusion of former FBI Director Louis Freeh's investigation into the MFGlobal collapse, Jon Corzine's aggressive bets on European sovereign debt led to the firm's dramatic collapse. The 124 page report (below) is extensive; noting, as Reuters reports, that Corzine's single-handed "negligent conduct" contributed to the company's failure. It was also "almost impossible to properly monitor the liquidity drains... caused by Corzine's proprietary trading strategy," the report said, adding that the "glaring deficiencies" in the firm's internal reporting were, "long-known to Corzine and management, yet they failed to implement sufficient corrective measures promptly." The investigation, based on interviews with former MF Global employees, board members and the review of hundreds of thousands of documents, concludes, "The risky business strategy engineered and executed by Corzine and other officers and their failure to improve the company's inadequate systems and procedures so that the company could accommodate that business strategy contributed to the company's collapse." Obviously, Corzine has denied any wrongdoing.

 

EUR Plunges On Draghi's "Downside Risks" JawboneAfter leaving rates unchanged and following Kuroda's efforts overnight, it appears Draghi had to do something in his press conference. Despite Barroso's assurances that the worst of the crisis is over, ECB's Draghi admits:*DRAGHI SAYS ECONOMIC WEAKNESS EXTENDED INTO BEGINNING OF YEAR*DRAGHI SAYS RISKS TO ECONOMIC OUTLOOK ARE ON DOWNSIDE*DRAGHI SAYS RECOVERY IN 2H IS SUBJECT TO 'DOWNSIDE RISKS'*DRAGHI: WEAKNESS IS EXTENDING TO COUNTRIES W/OUT FRAGMENTATION*DRAGHI SAYS ECB WILL ASSESS DATA AND STANDS READY TO ACT This 'negativity' jawboning, which is really nothing new to anyone who looks at real data, has battered EURUSD 80 pips lower and implicitly smacked S&P 500 futures down 5-6 points as the verbal currency wars continue.

 

Initial Jobless Claims Soar, Biggest Miss Since NovemberAnd the economic (downside) hits keep on coming: PMI, ISM, Non-Mfg ISM, ADP and now Initial claims - five out of five misses as the US economy slowly but surely joins the rest of the world in resuming its downward trajectory. Moments ago initial claims printed a whopping 385K, far above expectations of 353K, and far above the upwardly revised 357K (was 353K before). This was the biggest miss to expectations since November. Also, excluding the Sandy abberations, this was the biggest two week surge in claims since April 2011. Continuing claims also missed, printing at 3063K, above expectations of 3050K. Sure enough, the excuses begin: sequester, Easter (two states estimated which means actual number is likely even worse), weather (unclear if warm or hot), Cyprus, and generally, stuff... Just not the economy. Never the actual economy. Because it is unpossible that with $85 billion inject per month into the market economy, that things would be just getting worse and worse.

 

Mario Draghi Press Conference - Live Webcast The earlier ECB rate announcement came and went just as expected, and without granularity. Much more interesting will be the latest press conference. And if the last one was any indication, sparks will fly: recall that it was in March that "The ECB's Press Corps Realize They Have No Idea What OMT Is: "The Rules Are What They Are" Explains Draghi" - we look forward to FT's Michael Steen posting the same question to the former Goldmanite as it has been a month and... no term sheet, no details, nothing. Other expected questions: the "non-recurring yet blueprint template" nature of Cyprus, what the slowdown in LTRO repayments means, how the ECB will deal with the decelerating economy, and perhaps most importantly: what happens to deposits in other European banks? While we don't expect an actual answer to any of these, if indeed it is the globalist prerogative to accelerate the velocity of money by "spooking" it out of deposits and into circulation by spending or buying stocks, Draghi may have a stunner or two up his sleeve.

 

Goldman Refuses To Give Up Its Grip On Canada: Goldman Partner To Be Next US Ambassador To CanadaWith the departure of Goldman's Mark Carney from the Bank of Canada, some were concerned, actually concerned may not be the right word here: delighted may be better, that the northern country is finally free of the tentacles emanating from 200 West. Not so fast. As it turns out Goldman's ambitions vis-a-vis the resource-rich northern country are strong to quite strong, and as the Globe and Mail reports, Bruce Heyman, a Chicago-based Goldman Sachs executive and one of Barack Obamas top fundraisers, is in final talks to become the next U.S. ambassador to Canada, according to sources. "Mr. Heyman would be the second ambassador to Canada to hail from Chicago, replacing David Jacobson. A person familiar with the selection process confirmed Mr. Heyman was in the mix, adding that he has long been an ardent supporter of the U.S. President. However, the source added that the process is not over and no final decision has been made." Uhm, yes it has.

 

ECB Keeps Rates UnchangedAs expected, no changes in any of the three key rates from the ECB.4 April 2013 - Monetary policy decisions At todays meeting the Governing Council of the ECB decided that the interest rate on the main refinancing operations and the interest rates on the marginal lending facility and the deposit facility will remain unchanged at 0.75%, 1.50% and 0.00% respectively.The President of the ECB will comment on the considerations underlying these decisions at a press conference starting at 2.30 p.m. CET today. More important will be the press conference starting at 8:30 am Eastern, where Draghi will field questions on the ECB's non-intervention in light of the conditions it imposed most recently in Cyprus, the legal term-sheet status of the OMT, the latest relapse into recession by Europe, and more. Note: we said questions, not answers.

A Line Of Demarcation Through The Eurozone Is Taking Shape Posted by: testosteronepit Post date: 04/03/2013 - Everyone learned a lesson from Cyprus, painful ones. German politicians learned a lesson too: that it worked!

 

ADP March Private Jobs Miss, Lowest Since October Remember the now traditional economic data weakness that the US experiences come every Spring in the past 3 years courtesy of the rotation out of artificially boosting winter seasonal adjustments? Well, after a big miss in the PMI and ISM we may be getting just that, with the ADP private payrolls data moments ago posting the lowest monthly increase since October at just 158,000, well below the 200,000 expected, and far below last month's revised 237,000 (was 198,000), which means that post the revision the February number is just 1,000 off the NFP print of 236,000: ADP, under Mark Zandi, now and always desperately trying to be a BLS echo chamber. Notably in the breakdown of jobs, March saw +0 Construction jobs added: hardly the stuff great housing recoveries are made of. The good news, if any, is that small business finally were the biggest generator of jobs, adding 74,000, or just less than half of total, with medium and large accounting for 37,000 and 47,000 respectively. And since, empirically, the revised ADP methodology has been far more accurate than previously, the question is how to pre-spin this Friday's jobs number, which stands at the near-ADP consensus of 196,000, which suddenly looks far more in peril of a downside miss.

 

 

ECB Prepares To Subsidize Small/Medium Businesses Next EU President Barroso proclaimed this morning that Europe is "through the worst of the crisis" and yet the ECB's policy transmission channels are so fragmented - and the economies of the disparate union so in need to help - that Draghi and his fellow planners are re-discussing ways to directly lower the interest-rate burden for small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMEs). Germany's Die Zeit reports that the concept of the ECB lowering its standards once again to accept SME loans as collateral for lending to its member banks since, as we noted here, the ECB is basically impotent with regard juicing anything in the real economy. So the ECB is willing to step in and sacrifice its balance sheet (and the taxpayers of Europe - Germany - that implicitly backstop it) to ensure SMEs get funded at sub-market rates that banks are unwilling to accept on a risk-adjusted basis? What could possibly go wrong?

 

 

Turkeys Silver Imports Surge 31% And Gold Imports Climb To 8 Month High

Physical gold and silver demand remains robust in many markets internationally. Demand from the Middle East remains robust as seen in the near record imports of gold and silver into Turkey. Turkeys gold imports climbed to an eight-month high in March as prices averaged the lowest since May, according to the Istanbul Gold Exchange. Silver imports rose 31% from a month earlier according to Bloomberg. Gold imports increased to 18.26 metric tons, the most since July. Thats up from 17.34 tons in February and compared with 2.91 tons a year earlier, data on the exchanges website show. The country shipped in 120.8 tons last year. Turkey was the fourth-biggest gold consumer in 2012, according to the London-based World Gold Council. Bullion averaged $1,593.62 an ounce last month and is trading about 17% below the record nominal high of $1,921.15 set in September 2011.

 

 

Back At The Gates It is not that one market is in a bubble it is that they all are in a bubble. We were all taught that the markets eventually get back to fundamentals. It is not that we have forgotten this; it is that the supply of money has trumped the notion. Yet we amble on because it has been the winning strategy and we play to win. When yields are this low it is not "better to be safe than sorry" but "better to be safe then dead" as the amount of time that it will take to make back any mistakes could end you and your firm given the duration of any correction that you might attempt. It is not that one market is in a bubble it is that they all are in a bubble. It is not that the world is devoid of crises. It is that the supply of money acts as a painkiller and that the markets have become mostly numb.

Japan - Too Old To Grow? Posted by : Bruce Krasting Post date: 04/02/2013 - I don't care how much money Japan prints. Those printing presses can't offset the powerful force of demographics, at least not for long.  

 

 

 

You Know The Market's Euphoric When...We noted last night the 'six charts' that represent the sum total of the hopefulness of these markets with relation to fundamental earnings but it is the ratio of negative to positive earnings guidance - which stands at a record high - that should worry investors the most (and doesn't). As the WSJ notes, in the last bull market, the negative corporate guidance ratio hit a peak of 2.38 in the third quarter of 2007 - just as that bull market was ending (and troughed at 0.97 right as the bottom was in in stocks in Q1 2009). The current 3.55 ratio is the highest on record. But what is more representative of the market's absolutely sanguine nature is that just 2 days after guiding earnings down, stock prices are down just 0.3% (and half the stocks actually rose). As the WSJ concludes, and we tend to agree, watch out. There may be a nasty drop on the other side of this wall.

 

Europe Closes Green As Macro Data Drops Most In 19 Months European macro data surprises have dropped into negative territory for the first time in 3 months as the last 3 weeks have seen the biggest drop in 19 months. Of course, none of that matters, as EURJPY was bid all the way through the European day, lifting European stocks and the all-important Italian and Spanish bond markets. Markets were relatively thin still today but just as we have seen around the world (most specifically in Japan and the US recently) equity markets push on ahead despite the collapse in macro data - but we've seen this before a few times (and it did not end well)...

 

Chart Of The Day: Euro Area Unemployment Hits New Record High It appears like the New Normal is merely a phrase used to describe daily records in virtually everything: the Dow Jones, the S&P, US foodstamps, sovereign bailouts, US total debt, and, today, Euro Area unemployment, which just rose to a fresh all time high 12%. From Bloomberg brief: "Euro-area unemployment rose to a record 12 percent in February and January’s figure was revised up to the same level from 11.9 percent estimated earlier, the European Union’s statistics office said. Jobless rates in January ranged between 4.9 percent in Austria and 27 percent in Greece. While rates in the euro area have risen by 1.1 percent point in the past year, unemployment has fallen by 0.6 percentage point to 7.7 percent during the same period in the U.S." Or said otherwise, European unemployment has now been rising constantly for 22 consecutive months - the longest period for deteriorating unemployment since the early 1990s, which, however, is to be expected for a continent which as we showed yesterday, has now reverted to 19th century growth rates.

 

 

Stockman On Bernanke's Actions: "The Ultimate Consequence Will Be A Train-Wreck" There is "not a chance," that the Fed will be able to unwind its balance sheet in an orderly manner, "because everybody is front-running [them]," as the Fed is creating "serial bubbles," that are increasingly hard to manage since "we're getting in deeper and deeper every time." David Stockman has been vociferously honest in the last few days and his Bloomberg Radio interview with Tom Keene was extremely so. While Keene tries his best to remain upbeat and his permabullish self, Stockman just keeps coming with body blow after body blow to the thesis that this 'recovery' is sustainable. "They are using a rosy scenario forecast for the next ten years that would make the rosy scenario of the 1981 Reagan administration look like an ugly duckling," he exclaims, adding that the Keynesian Krugmanites' confidence is "disingenuous" - "the elephant in the room - the Fed," that are for now enabling rates to stay where they are. The full transcript below provides much food for thought but he warns, if the Fed ever pulled back, even modestly, "there would be a tremendous panic sell off in the bond market because it is entirely propped up... It's to late to go cold turkey."

 

When A Great Deflationary Bear Starts Turning Inflationary Over the past four years one of the dominant "deflationists" has been Gluskin Sheff's David Rosenberg. And, for the most part, his corresponding thesis - long bonds - has been a correct and lucrative one, if not so much for any inherent deflation in the system but because of the Fed's actual control of the entire bond curve and Bernanke's monetization of the primary deflationary signal the 10 and certainly the 30 Year bond. The endless purchases of these two security classes, coupled with periodic flights to safety into the bond complex have validated his call. Until now.

 

Holland: "An Economy On The Brink" Infamous for little boys plugging holes with their fingers and grown-ups plugging their mouth with their foot (D-Boom), it seems Holland, Berlin's most important ally in the goal of greater fiscal discipline in Europe, has fallen into an economic crisis itself. As Spiegel reports, the once exemplary economy is suffering from huge debts and a burst real estate bubble, which has stalled growth and endangered jobs. The statistics make for some worrisome reading: no nation in the euro zone is as deeply in debt as the Netherlands, where banks have a total of about 650 billion in mortgage loans on their books; consumer debt amounts to about 250% of available income - by comparison, in 2011 even the Spaniards only reached a debt ratio of 125%; unemployment is on the rise; consumption is down; and growth has come to a standstill. The nationalization on SNS in February brought this reality home and as Spiegel reports, "there is no end to the crisis in sight."

Guest Post: The Great Disconnect - Markets Vs. Economy  What is the meaning of the markets hitting new all-time highs.  The general consensus of the analysts and economists is that the rise in capital markets, given weak current economic data and a resurgence of the Eurozone crisis, is clearly a sign of economic strength; and, combined with rising corporate profitability, makes stocks the only investment worth having. There is, however, a more pragmatic perspective. Suppressed wage growth, layoffs, cost-cutting, productivity increases, accounting gimmickry and stock buybacks have been the primary factors in surging profitability.  However, these actions are finite in nature and inevitably it will come down to topline revenue growth.  However, since consumer incomes have been cannibalized by suppressed wages and interest rates - there is nowhere left to generate further sales gains from in excess of population growth. The reality is that all the stimulus and financial support available from the Fed, and the government, can't put a broken financial transmission system back together again.  Eventually, the current disconnect between the economy and the markets will merge.  Our bet is that such a convergence is not likely to be a pleasant one.

Global Economic Slowdown Accelerates Again It would appear that between the historical revisions of over-optimistic initial prints in macro data in the last few months and the reality of the weakness in Europe; the global economy is in Slowdown. Goldman's Swirlogram has now seen its Global Leading Indicator in the 'slowdown' phase for two months as momentum fades rapidly and seven of the ten major factors in the index declining with Global (Aggregate) PMI, and Global New Orders-less-Inventories worsening. Quite comically, the three factors providing some positivity are the Baltic Dry Index (which we are told is irrelevant when it drops), Japanese Inventory/Sales (which improved but remains at depression-era levels), and US initial jobless claims (which have become a farce statistically from what we can tell). Of course, none of this macro reality matters for now - until it does that is.

 

List Released With 132 Names Who Pulled Cyprus Deposits Ahead Of "Confiscation Day"With every passing day, it becomes clearer and clearer the Cyprus deposit confiscation "news" was the most unsurprising outcome for the nation's financial system and was known by virtually everyone on the ground days and weeks in advance: first it was disclosed that Russians had been pulling their  money, then it was suggested the president himself had made sure some 21 million of his family's money was parked safely in London, then we showed a massive surge in Cyprus deposit outflows in February, and now the latest news is that a list of 132 companies and individuals has emerged who withdrew their -denominated deposits in the two weeks from March 1 to March 15, among which the previously noted company Loutsios & Sons which is alleged to have ties with the current Cypriot president Anastasiadis.


Jack 'Buy-And-Hold' Bogle Goes Offscript - Two 50% Declines To Come In Next Decade Buy-and-hold is alive and well and living (ubiquitously) in the Vanguard funds, courtesy of Jack Bogle. Invest for the long-term, stay the course, stocks beat bonds over the long-term; he trotted them all out in a recent CNBC clip but then left the permabull host speechless when he noted:*JACK BOGLE SEES 2 DECLINES UP TO 50% OVER NEXT DECADEOf course, investors should not wait for these dips to buy (he suggests), as no one can time the markets. Better to hold your nose, feel lucky, and drip-feed your money-on-the-sidelines into something that he suggests will drop by half twice in a decade. It seems someone went a little off script.

 

 

AAPL's Worst Day In 10 Weeks Drags S&P/Nasdaq Into Red Post-Cyprus For the start of a quarter, volume was very weak today (but to be somewhat expected given the holiday) and despite two valiant algo-driven attempts to save the day, the S&P and Nasdaq ended back below its pre-Cyprus levels. The 'magical' Dow ended only a smidge lower on the day as the 'real' markets were all weak. Builders led the drop today but financials (especially the majors) continue to be monkey-hammered (Citi and MS now down 8% post-Cyprus). AAPL also stood out with its biggest drop in 10 weeks as the 50DMA breakout appears to have foxed many fast-money types. The USD faded on the day but provided no juice for stocks as the JPY strength hurt FX carry. VIX made higher highs on the day - hitting 14% as Treasury yields in general slipped 1-2bps. Gold ended unch, Silver down1.6% and Oil's afternoon strength supported some algos under the S&P. Today's equity weakness appears as much a catch-down from last week's disconnects as a possible reflection of the fact that US macro data has seen its worst 3-day run in 9 months.

Stockton Becomes Biggest US City To Declare Bankruptcy (It's Official) A mere nine months after we first discussed the inevitability of Stockton, CA.'s bankruptcy, a judge has ordered today that the city will now become the most populous in the US to be declared bankrupt. *STOCKTON CREDITORS DIDN'T NEGOTIATE IN GOOD FAITH, JUDGE SAYS Creditors are pushing to get the city out of bankruptcy but the judge states that "by any measure" the city was insolvent. So, in summary, yeah, it was broke years ago, it still is broke - despite the best efforts by the Central Planning Reserve to reflate the same housing bubble that was the primary reason for the city's insolvency in the first place. Only this time, it's official!

 

 

Russia: The Last Capitalist Standing While most of the western developed economies become more and more centrally planned and creative destruction is avoided at all costs (for fear it will be the straw that breaks the fractionally-reserved, rehypothecated camel's back of the financial system - and therefore sovereign financing); it appears ironic that Russia is playing capitalist hardball with the losers from the Cyprus 'solution'. Russia's First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov, announced this weekend, that "if someone gets stuck and loses money in those two biggest banks, thats really too bad, but the Russian government isnt planning to do anything in this case." As Bloomberg reports, Shuvalov told reporters last month that Russia may ultimately benefit from Europes decision to target deposit holders. By setting that precedent, Europe has cast doubt on the reliability of its banks and makes Russias financial system look comparatively more attractive - but is "closely monitoring"  the situation around Russian Commercial Bank, a Cypriot unit of state-run lender VTB Group, adding that VTB's exposure in Cyprus is "absolutely manageable." So, in the new normal, the USA socializes losses but the ex-USSR sticks to its new capitalist roots?

 

 

Fed Lies On The Record To Protect Bank Of America, Pulls Testimony In late 2010, in a superficially stunning move, Bank of America was sued by, among many others, the New York Fed over the biggest bogeyman for the bank's balance sheet - its legacy portfolio of super toxic Countrywide mortgages it inherited in the worst M&A deal of all time (its purchase of CFC) and the inheritance of woefully inadequate mortgage issuance standards which ever since then (recall our prediction on this issue) has cost the bank billions in litigiation payments and reserves.  Obviously, the Fed had no concerns about collecting the money it itself creates, and it certainly doesn't care about legality and criminal financial impropriety, so why was it among the list of plaintiffs? Simple: as we suggested back then, and as has since been proven correct, it was simply so that Bill Dudley's henchmen have a first row view of everything going on in the putback litigation that has been the primary concern for BofA, but with a few of keeping the damage to a minimum. Sure enough, Ever since then the Fed has done everything in its power to mitigate potential losses to BofA as a result of Agent Orange selling hundreds of billions in biohazardous mortgages to anyone and anything with a pulse. It has gotten so bad that the Fed was last week caught lying under testimony, forcing the Fed to take back testimony in a parallel lawsuit between AIG and BofA, which has also involved the New York Fed, as a indirect guardian of BAC's cash hoard.

THE MAN WHO PREDICTED JAPANS LOST DECADE THE RECESSION OF 1990-92 THE BIGGEST BULL MARKET RUN IN U.S. HISTORY AND MOST RECENTLY, THE 2008 CREDIT CRISIS AND STOCK MARKET CRASH NOW PREDICTS:

"DOW 3300!"  http://albertpeia.com/dow3300.htm

 

Yes, today the Dow Jones Average may be near historic highs…
but it won’t be for long! The Dow
will drop.

 

*  Unemployment will move higher again, to roughly 15% nationwide. It could go as high as 25%

when you include long-term unemployed in the numbers.

 

*  Housing prices will fall an additional 30%, despite the biggest stimulus plan in history and the

lowest mortgage rates in 40 years.

 

*  Personal bankruptcies and property foreclosures will soar as much as 30%. Consumers are

simply saddled with too much debt — $42 trillion or $140,000 for every man, woman and

child in America — for there to be any other outcome. Falling income will only make matters

worse.

 

*  State and municipal governments will be forced into default, especially at the city and country

level. Their budgets are already in crisis and the Federal Reserve is running out of money with

which to cushion these institutions.

 

*  The Federal deficit will balloon from $1.3 trillion to as much as $3 trillion because of huge revenue

shortages.

 

*  The global credit crisis – phase II – will continue to spread around the globe like a contagious

virus. Greece is already down. Spain will be next.

 

A second banking crisis will out, despite the lessons “learned” in 2008. Mortgage companies have

resumed offering low interest, no principal “teaser” loans. Investment banks have begun taking unnecessary risks again. And this time, there’ll be no money for a bailout.

 

ALL OF THIS WILL SEND THE DOW AND OTHER INDEXES TUMBLING AS MUCH AS 70%. IN FACT, WE EXPECT THE DOW TO PLUNGE BACK DOWN TO 3,300 BY LATE 2014.

Russia Is Next In Line To Restrict Cash Transactions The Russians are taking a page from the Europeans book (and not a positive one for libertarians). Given the substantial criminal activity and illegal entrepreneurship in Russia - the grey and black economies account for 5065 percent of GDP and estimates that about $50 billion was taken out of Russia illegally in 2012 alone - the great and glorious leaders have decided to impose restrictions on cash transactions. As Russia Beyond The Headlines reports, Russia may ban cash payments for purchases of more than 300,000 rubles (around $10,000) starting in 2015 - starting with a higher ($19,500) restriction in 2014. They will also enforce mandatory cash-free salary payments (cash compensation accounts for 15% of GDP currently) in an effort to both bring some of the population's 'grey' income out of the shadow; and increase the volume of cash reserves in the banks. It would appear that wherever we look now, leadership are realizing that the limits of fiscal and monetary policy have been reached and now changing rules, limiting freedom, and outright confiscation are the only way to maintain a status quo. Ironic really, when the enforcement of said rules may just be the catalyst for the end of the status quo as the middle class suffers.

 

 

The Abenomics Farce Continues It's not been a great evening so far for the leadership in Japan. We are now six months into the greatest monetary policy bluff of all time and thanks to the sound and fury from Abe (and now his henchmen) the JPY has devalued by an impressive 25%. The goal, of course, to target inflation and combat the dreaded deflation - that Abe himself today said "can take a long time." So how are we doing? Not so great it seems. Just as the US went 4-for-4 today in dismal data so Japan is 3.5-for-4 as the much-watched 'inflation' missed expectations once again with a -1% print (that would be deflation) - the worst level since August 2010; Japanese Industrial Production slumped 11% year-over-year, far in excess of the consensus 5.8% drop (biggest miss since Feb 2009) and the biggest collapse (ex-Fukushima) since October 2009; and to top it all off, Japanese unemployment ticked up higher than expectations to 4.3% - equal worst in 7 months. The one saving grace was a PMI above 50 (but driven by an 18-month high print in input costs and accompanied by a drop in backlogs and slump in employment sub-indices - so not exactly bursting with euphoria). Need moar Abenomics...

 

 

Dead Pigs, Ducks And Now Black Swans: China's Animal Apocalypse Crosses Into The Twilight Zone First it was thousands of dead pigs floating in the Shanghai water supply (at last estimate over 16,000), then a thousand dead ducks were pulled from a river in the Sichuan province, and now, pushing the meme beyond even its most grotesque boundaries, we learn that five black swans were found floating lifeless on the pond of Anhui Universitys old campus in Hefei, traditionally inhabited by a bevy of black swans. From Danwei: "The latest instance of floating dead animals in China first pigs, then ducks, and now black swans these mere five black swans became an object of heated discussion on the Internet right after the announcement was made. How did they die? Was it a natural disaster or another man-made one? As Star News tells us today, upon hearing of the news yesterday it immediately sent a journalist to the scene to find out exactly what happened. What he found was just one more filthy pond filled with oily water and garbage."

 

 

Guest Post: The Cyprus Deal And The Unraveling Of Fractional-Reserve Banking The Cyprus deal as it has been widely referred to in the media may mark the next to last act in the the slow motion collapse of fractional-reserve banking that began with the implosion of the savings-and-loan industry in the U.S. in the late 1980s. The happy result will be that depositors, both insured and uninsured, in Europe and throughout the world will become much more cautious or even suspicious in dealing with fractional-reserve banks. They will be poised to grab their money and run at the slightest sign or rumor of instability. This will induce banks to radically alter the sources of the funds they raise to finance loans and investments, moving away from deposit and toward equity and bond financing.

Spot The Housing Recovery The housing recovery was described by one muppet on CNBC yesterday as 'parabolic' so we decided to go in search of this mystical anecdotal surge that is so often heard on the airwaves of the preachers. It turns out, the recovery (if that's what you want to call it) is not so much. Just as in Europe, it seems if we repeat the same lie (or hope) often enough, it may just come true. So it is in the US. Headlines crow of YoY gains and ad hoc surges (Vegas and Silicon Valley) but if you dig down just an inch or two into the real data, the housing 'recovery' is the little train that isn't. As Bloomberg notes, regional home prices have recovered to only 2004 levels and while the REO-to-Rent model remains for the late-to-the-gamers, it is inevitably a self-destroying bubble if there is no organic growth and one glance at the rate of mortgage applications ('real' buyers) says all we need to know about the housing 'recovery'.

 

 

Buchheit On Cyprus: "The Situation Is Spiralling Down", And Why A Second Bailout May Be Needed When the world's leading expert on Sovereign debt restructurings believes that the endgame for Cyprus might be another round of restructuring, adding that "I'm not sure this is over," it is important to listen. With the calmness in Cyprus today more reflective of paralysis than confidence,  Lee Buchheit senses that the parameters of how much money will be needed to recapitalize the banks have changed. He tells Bloomberg TV's Lee Pacchia in this brief clip, "the situation is spiraling down... they'll need more money because the economy is worse, tax collections less, deposits will flow out when they can flow out." As for which European nation will be next in need of assistance with its sovereign debt burdens? Buchheit agrees with us that while many are looking to Slovenia, he sees real economic and political problems in both Italy and Spain remaining especially since the EU "have certainly changed the rules of the game."

 

 

Victory: "A Few Good Men" Push The Market To New All Time Highs Appropriately enough, the S&P 500 closed at its all-time high closing price today on pretty much the lowest volume day of the year. Q1 ends with the Dow up 11.25% (on ever-decreasing volume) and the Long Bond down 2% (but don't expect a rotation as it was down 3.75% in Q1 2012). Gold and Silver down 3.6 and 6.4% respectively (as physical demand has surged) while WTI crude is up 4.25%. Ignoring the first day of the year's exuberant spurt, credit markets are unchanged and VIX is only modestly lower. Healthcare was the biggest winner in Q1, rising over 15%. The last time we had a Q1 as good as this? 1987... dun dun dun...

 

 

RANsquawk Weekly Wrap - 28th March 2013

 

 

 

About Those (Not So) Record Profits With the S&P 500 on track for an 11% gain in Q1, and the foundations of global growth (China?), and European tail-risk (back in a big way) now off the table; it would appear that the asset-getherers are falling back to 'earnings' as the meme-du-jour. Despite the now more-than-anecdotal evidence from several major bellwether stocks, faith is strong that margins will expand and the "mother's milk' of stocks will flow. However, it appears in reality that things are a little different; as we noted here, actual margins have fallen to Q1 2010 levels (even as expectations soar) and with labor costs rising (and Okun's law broken), the following chart should make it extremely clear just where the pain will have to come from to confirm the 'hope'. US firms have been slashing labor costs for a decade and it appears they have hit a self-destructing wall as sentiment, spending, and employment gang up to ruin the party - no matter how hard the government tries to fund the great rotation from employment to benefits.

 

 

Food Fraud Hits New Low: Dog Meat In British Curry The food fraud story has now progressed from somewhat humorous with the undersized Subway footlong subs, to the highly disturbing with the revelations of horse meat and fake tuna, to the really creepy with the now potential emergence of dog meat in UK lamb curry.  No you cant print lamb folks, which is exactly why many humans are now eating worse than their pets in the Western world.

While aptly pointing out chinese corruption and fraud as is particularly pervasive in america, he conveniently ignores the success of their primitive, basic, simplistic capitalist business model of low costs (primarily labor, materials, etc.) fueled particularly ab initio by american greed. Go to any store and pick up nearly any product and the likelihood of ‘made in china’ is upwards of 95% (then as well, as with apple, taking into account components). Clearly, Mr. Summers lacks depth of understanding/knowledge concerning costs of tooling, retooling, and manufacturing generally, as well as cost accounting among other business/finance disciplines. As regards their nominal communist system, I remain staunchly opposed to the invariable lie of communism, although the meaningfully lawless (‘too big to fail or jail’) and corrupt, oligarchical crony faux capitalist welfare dependent failing (and ever more socialist) system in america is hardly a laudable alternative.  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm  http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm   .

But the Benjamin is not immune to inflation; the dollar has lost about 95% of its 1900 purchasing power.  If 95% of households are experiencing a loss of purchasing power and most of the new money and credit are flowing to the top 5%, you get asset bubbles, not demand-driven inflation. When 95% of the households are poorer in terms of purchasing power and financial wealth, where can demand-driven inflation arise in a global economy of massive manufacturing and labor over-capacity? The rise in costs within industries controlled by cartels (healthcare, higher education, defense, etc.) may look like demand-driven inflation, but are actually transfers of wealth and purchasing power from households to the government-protected cartels.

The Global Elite Are Very Clearly Telling Us That They Plan To Raid Our Bank Accounts

Yet, there is no question but that the masses so mocked, deserve to be mocked, having embraced their dismal fate at every turn; viz., their embrace of political correctness, though contraindicated, as, ie., the embrace of the violent, destructive nigger who literally would have them for dinner, or the compulsion to embrace that which the state says is right, though contraindicated, for political expedience owing to failure fed (including the incompetent missteps of the failed fed) desperation, ie., gay marriage, etc., contrived wars / conflicts, among other clearly observable, self-interested behavior of people, companies, nations, including the gargantuan bailed out frauds on wall street to everyones (but the frauds) detriment, still unprosecuted. That the jive-talking, b***s*** artist/grifter/con-man obama has not been held to even one of his former now broken campaign promises and is embraced by those foolish enough to believe more of the same is testament to how deserving of mocking the masses truly are (people should be outraged and wobama should be ridden out on a rail). Make no mistake; the reality is that the new world order/so-called elite are not elite at all; but rather, incompetent vegetables who cant do anything right as theyve now proven time and time again.

Marc Faber: "I Am Sure Governments Will One Day Take Away 20-30% Of My Wealth" We cautioned readers in 2011 that in a broke world in which the ridiculously named "muddle-through" has miserably failed, a global wealth tax seeking to expropriate some 30% of all financial assets is coming. Few took it seriously, and why should they - after all the market has been blissfully rising before and ever since then, which implies everything was ok, right? Wrong, as those who are lining up right now in the Cyprus late of night not to buy a shiny new iTrinket, but to access a measly 300 of their own money would promptly admit. Naturally, if more of our Cypriot readers had paid attention, they would have far more of their own money at their disposal right now, instead of having to beg Merkel's emissaries for a 300 handout tomorrow. Now, a year and a half later, the realization that the global wealth tax is not only coming but is inevitable in practically every developed country, is finally sinking in, as this interview with Marc Faber confirms: "Until now, the bailouts in Europe and the U.S. were at the expense of the taxpayer. And from now onwards, in my view, the bailouts will also be at the expense of the asset holders, the well-to-do people. So if you have money I am sure the governments will one day take away 20-30% of my wealth."He is correct, but probably optimstic.

Guest Post: Second LNG Super Tanker Arrives In UK To Help With Natural Gas Shortage Due to unseasonably cold weather the UK has seen high demand for natural gas, far higher than anything expected, and the truth is that the country was not prepared. The dwindling supplies form the North Sea were unable to meet the high demand, and storage reserves reached dangerously low levels, leading some to suggest that the UK may run out of gas altogether within days. The government denied these reports and began frantically searching for alternative supplies to meet the demand. Supplies were not hard to come by as the shortage had caused spot prices in the UK increase to some of the highest in the world, attracting tankers from around the world. A giant tanker, the Zarga, has docked at Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire to unload its cargo of LNG. It is the second such tanker to have been diverted to Britain in the last couple of days in search of the high prices that can be charged there. The Mekaines docked at Kent on Sunday. The vessels carried a combined total of more than 500,000 cubic metres of LNG, enough to meet the entire UKs demand for 12 hours.

 

Flash Crash Mystery Solved Below are portions of a comment letter submitted by R.T. Leuchtkafer to the SEC on April 16, 2010, just 3 weeks before flash crash. The second paragraph in the excerpt below, unknowingly describes exactly how the flash crash was started. The letter goes on to alert the SEC on the dangers of High Frequency Trading (HFT), phantom liquidity and other concerns.

 

Pair Trade Opportunity Of The Year: Long European, Short Chinese Caterers It has been a recurrent joke that in addition to Germany (see chart), the only winners out of the slow-motion trainwreck that is the Eurozone, are the Belgian caterers who in 2010, 2011 and 2012 had an absolute record profit year following what was a weekly summit after summit in which we learned, without fail, that Europe is fine, couldn't be finer, and to "believe" Draghi that he would crush and mangle anyone who dared to short the EURUSD (ironic when every other central bank is literally paying FX traders to short their currency). But while caterers were literally swimming in money in the past three years, charging European taxpayers hundreds of thousands of euros per hour for either sturgeon eggs and pâté, or boxed lunches depending on the amount of austerity imposed, so far 2013 has been rather dry. All that of course is about to change, following the epic fiasco with the Cyprus "bail-in", which courtesy of Diesel-BOOM's subsequent clarification, is a unique template that will never be repeated... until the next PIIG finds itself in the same trough, which now that the dominoes are dropping once more, shouldn't be too long. Which is why the best levered derivative trade on the European "positive contagion" mutating back into its "negative" wilde-type is to go long European caterers. However, to offset as much non-catering risk as possible, it would be ideal to have a pair trade opportunity, whereby to go short an offsetting catering exposure. Luckily, we have found just that. Luckily we have just the trade.

 

Moody's: Cyprus Euro Exit Risk Substantial Though it may seem a little like stating the obvious to many, Moody's comments: While the risk of a euro exit by Cyprus is substantial... ...following the economic dislocation that will be caused by the restructuring of the island's two largest banks and the imposition of capital controls in the country, it is possible that the risk of euro exit will increase further. And so while the talking heads discuss Cyprus as a unique situation and too small to care about, it seems the reality of the last two weeks has actually raised their chance of Euro exit as opposed to bailed them into the Euro.

 

Guest Post: A Sane Person Ought To Consider These Important Lessons One would think that certain truths are obvious by now. It should be obvious, for example, that there are consequences to living beyond your means. It should be obvious that there are consequences to a long history of spending unsustainably and accumulating mountains of debt. And it should be obvious that there are consequences to dealing with such problems by spending more and accumulating even more debt. It should be obvious. But its not. Hyperinflation always starts with a surge in asset prices. And as I see stock markets at new highs, property prices posting big increases, and bond yields of the greatest debtor nations in the world hover at just over ZERO, a sane person ought to consider these important lessons from history.

 

Phrase Of The Day: "Irrational Divergences" Deja Deja... oh forget it. S&P failed to make its all-time highs. We dipped (on heavy volume) and wiggled all the way back on no volume in stocks. Healthcare and Utilities lead the week but high-beta momo-monkeys chased homebuilders on the day. Wherever you looked today - apart from stocks - risk assets were being sold. VIX is higher on the day (and 2.5 vols disconnected from stocks); high-yield and investment-grade credit markets are ending near their worst level of the week - suggesting the S&P is 20 points rich; Treasuries ended off their low yields but stil down 7bps on the week and notably more post-Cyprus (with stocks in the green post Cyprus). The USD strengthened further during the EU session and flatlined in the US afternoon (with EURJPY leading the way down and not supportive at all of the equity rally). Apple lost its 50DMA again, dropping 2.2%. Equity volume was extremely low (cash and futures) and average trade size the lowest of the year. The phrase of the day is - irrational divergence.

 

Santelli On The End Of Paper Gold's Reign Central Banks remain aggressive accumulators of the precious metal as we noted last night, as their actions outweigh their words; but as CNBC's Rick Santelli notes today, there is a big difference between the physical bullion they are buying and the 'gold bug' trading currently going on in our markets: I don't even look at gold as gold anymore since they securitized it. If things [went] badly in the world that I used to observe (as a gold bug); the gold would end up in the hands of the gold bugs. If things go badly now, they're going to end up with checks from ETFs! Sorry, it's not the same. The reign of [paper] gold as the Ayn Rand endgame, to me, that's over. Game, Set, Match. Which likely explains the incessant demand for precious metals from the US Mint over the past few months - as the other great rotation (from paper to physical) proceeds.

 

Egan-Jones Downgrades UK From AA- To A+ Thought you could shut up Egan-Jones? Sure, you could... as a NRSRO: the same worthless designation that is carried by Moodys and S&P. However, that does not prevent them to act, and provide their ratings opinion, as a non-NRSRO. Which is exactly in what capacity the infamous firm, which was targeted by the SEC for daring to downgrade the US (the same reason S&P was sued by the DOJ later), just downgraded the UK from AA- to A+.

{ I no longer will be following Phoenix Capital Resources … too much advertising … too much propaganda … too little meaningfully relevant substance (america et al’s problems are huge). After all, with all china’s faults, not the least of which is communism (I’m definitely not their advocate), one must realistically ask, ‘what nation(s), based on lies and for the sake of military industrial complex profits (as warned against by the great but underrated President General Eisenhower) has been engaged in Orwellian perpetual war despite defacto bankruptcy and pervasive corruption’? Not China… Eureka! Amerika et als!  Inflation Calls BS on the China “Miracle”  http://albertpeia.com/inflationinchina.htm   { For the first time I’m constrained to label a piece by Mr. Summers wishful thinking and a u.s. government propaganda piece at best. While aptly pointing out chinese corruption and fraud as is particularly pervasive in america, he conveniently ignores the success of their primitive, basic, simplistic capitalist business model of low costs (primarily labor, materials, etc.) fueled particularly ab initio by american greed. Go to any store and pick up nearly any product and the likelihood of ‘made in china’ is upwards of 95% (then as well, as with apple, taking into account components). Clearly, Mr. Summers lacks depth of understanding/knowledge concerning costs of tooling, retooling, and manufacturing generally, as well as cost accounting among other business/finance disciplines. As regards their nominal communist system, I remain staunchly opposed to the invariable lie of communism, although the meaningfully lawless (‘too big to fail or jail’) and corrupt, oligarchical crony faux capitalist welfare dependent failing (and ever more socialist) system in america is hardly a laudable alternative.  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm  http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm   . The point is, america’s substantial problems are not the result of Chinese corruption; but rather, plain old american pervasive corruption and criminality. }

This Is How A Country Ends: Not With A Bang, But A Bailout Curious how in the New Normal a nation is brought to its untimely end without a single shot being fired? Dimos Dimosthenous, who has worked at the Bank of Cyprus for over 30 years, explains: "That will be the end. Our jobs, our rights, our welfare funds will be lost and Cyprus will be destroyed." In short: not with a bang, but a bailout.

 

Guest Post: Whom To Believe On Gold: Central Banks Or Bloomberg? Bloomberg reported recently that Russia is now the world's biggest gold buyer, its central bank having added 570 tonnes (18.3 million troy ounces) over the past decade. At $1,650/ounce, that's $30.1 billion worth of gold. Russia isn't alone, of course. Central banks as a group have been net buyers for at least two years now. But the 2012 data trickling out shows that the amount of tonnage being added is breaking records. Based on current data, the net increase in central bank gold buying for 2012 was 14.8 million troy ounces and that's before the final 2012 figures are in for all countries. This is a dramatic increase, one bigger than most investors probably realize. To put it in perspective, on a net basis, central banks added more to their reserves last year than since 1964. The net increase so far is 17% greater than what was added in 2011, which was itself a year of record buying. The message from central banks is clear: they expect the dollar to move inexorably lower. It doesn't matter that it's been holding up against other currencies or that the economy might be getting better. They're buying gold in record amounts because they see a significant shift coming with the status of the dollar, and they need to protect themselves against that risk. Embrace the messages central bankers are telling us the ones they tell with their actions, not their words.

 

Apple Cash In, Apple Cash Out - The Full Breakdown Ever wonder how much iTunes represents of Apple's revenue model? Ever consider just how high the cost of sales is for Apple's products? This beautiful chart from Asymco shows just where Apple's revenues come from and where they are spent for the last quarter....

 

Guest Post: Post-Cyprus Blues: Confusion And An Erosion Of Faith The present confusion is legitimate: it is far too early to be projecting much from Cyprus except a continued erosion of faith in Eurozone banks and leadership, and by default, the euro as a placeholder of purchasing power.

 

Q1 2012 Deja Vu: Pension Fund Rebalancing Suggests Window Un-Dressing Could Hurt Stocks As we previously expected, 2013 has started in a strikingly similar vein to 2012 and 2011 and we are nearing that deja-vu turning point once again. However, the extreme relative outperformance of stocks to bonds in Q1 suggests very sizable quarter-end pension-fund rebalancing flows - and perhaps today's ramp was perfectly presented to enable that into the next two days. UBS expects US defined benefit funds to do sizable Q1 quarter-end rebalancing - anticipating $29-35 billion of equity outflows and perhaps as much as $15-19 billion of fixed income inflows. Equity outflows should be dominated by domestic stocks, with $22-27 billion of large cap and $10-12 billion of small cap sales. Furthermore, reading through the recent 10K statements of large corporate pension sponsors, they note consistent, and growing, interest in liability-driven strategies and even full-blown de-risking - supporting high grade long and intermediate government and corporate bonds. Not only are the flows pointing in a similar direction but the catalysts are lining up too.

 

Income Growth For Bottom 90% In America Since 1966 Is... $59! Weve all seen these statistics before in one form or another, but David Cay Johnston does an excellent job going into more detail for us in an article he published late last month.  As he correctly notes, when things get extreme like this you ultimately end up with extreme social unrest.  Furthermore, as we have pointed out for years and years, this kind of disparity does not happen under free markets with rules and regulations applied equally to all.  It happens under totalitarian societies, whether fascism, communism or crony capitalist corporatism (which is the model in the USA).  It only happens when a very small oligarch class takes over the political process of a nation and then uses it to game the system.

 

For High Yield Bonds, Is "Frothy" The New "Irrational Exuberance" Barclays index of high yield bond total returns is now 63% higher that its pre-crisis peak. This compares to an equivalent total return index for the S&P 500 was only 12% (and it has yet to break the October 2007 highs). These numbers are astronomical in the face of micro- and macro-fundamentals and while equity markets remain the policy tool du jour for the central planning elite, it appears they are perhaps starting to become a little concerned that driving all the retiring boomers 'safe' money into risky bets may not end so well. Just as Alan Greenspan stepped on the throat of equity markets with his now infamous 'irrational exuberance' speech, we wonder, as Bloomberg notes, if last night's speech to the Economic Club of New York by Bill Dudley is the new normal equivalent, as he noted, "some areas of fixed income - notably high-yield and leveraged loans - do seem somewhat frothy," just as we warned here. With the high-yield index trading at 5.56% yield - the lowest in over 25 years and loans bid at 98.27 (the highest since July 2007), perhaps he is right to note, "we will need to keep a close eye on financial asset prices."

 

Santelli Stunned: It's Better To Be On Disability Than Work Minimum Wage The sad truth in the USA, as we explained in great detail here, incentives to 'work' are increasingly non-existent. Thanks to a never-ending stream of benefits from the great and powerful Oz, as CNBC's Rick Santelli notes, Disability payments (of which there are 14 million people covered in the US - none of which count towards the unemployment rate) pay around $13,000 per year (versus $15,000 for minimum wage work). However, Santelli exclaims, the people on disability get healthcare; and this program costs the US $300 billion per year. Is it any wonder that only 1% of those who were on disability in Q1 2011 have left? Santelli comments, "I'm not saying there aren't people that are on disability that shouldn't be, but much of it is illnesses like back pain... it's a judgment call," adding that, "without incentives, large issues go ...totally unfixed."

 

Guest Post: 'Available' It is clear now that we must have been wrong about the economy. No more proof is needed than the fact the Dow has gone up 1,500 points. Everyone knows the stock market reflects the true health of the nation multi-millionaire Jim Cramer and his millionaire CNBC talking head cohorts tell us so. Ignore the fact that the bottom 80% only own 5% of the financial assets in this country and are not benefitted by the stock market in any way. It is time to open your eyes and arise from your stupor. Observe what is happening around you. Look closely. Does the storyline match what you see in your ever day reality? It is them versus us. Whether you call them the invisible government, ruling class, financial overlords, oligarchs, the powers that be, ruling elite, or owners; there are powerful wealthy men who call the shots in this global criminal enterprise. No amount of propaganda can cover up the physical, economic, social, and psychological descent afflicting our world. Theres a bad moon rising and trouble is on the way.

 

Student Loan Defaults Soar By 36% Compared To Year Ago The growing debacle that is the US student loan bubble - nearly the same size and severity as the Subprime crisis at its peak- has been painfully dissected on these pages in the past, so at this point the only thing remaining is to keep track of the bubble growing exponentially in real time as it hits all time records, and eventually pops. Helping us to track the realtime growth is the latest data from Equifax, via Reuters, which confirms what everyone knows: things in student bubble land are getting worse by the minute. Much worse, because in just the first two months of 2013, banks wrote off $3 billion of student loan debt, up more than 36 percent from the year-ago period, as many graduates remain jobless, underemployed or cash-strapped in a slow U.S. economic recover.

 

Another Dow All-Time High But Bonds/Credit/Banks Ain't Buying It Wealth levies and a European banking system collapsing; dismal capital goods new orders; a miss for new home sales and Richmond Fed; almost the lowest volume of the year in stocks, and Treasury bonds trading at their lowest yield since the Cyprus debacle started - a perfect recipe to try a run to all-time closing highs in the S&P 500. The previous high close (not intraday) was 1565.17 on 10/09/07 and we missed it by less than 2 points today. What has taken us to these new post-Cyprus highs, safety - Staples, Healthcare, and Utilities (up 1-3% since 3/15 Cyprus). Banks remain battered with C, GS, and MS all down 5-6%. Treasuries and corporate bonds reflected a considerably different perspective on risk-appetite to stocks today. While the USD largely flatlined, with JPY weakening, EURJPY (and WTI it seems) led stocks higher on dismal volume. Gold, silver, and copper flatlined (following the USD's lead) but the disconnect between VIX/Stocks and Bonds/Credit was extreme by the close. VIX remains 1.5 vols higher than it was when stocks were last here and the protection bid in credit markets (and low volume in stocks) suggests equity algos simply forgot that Europe opens again in 8 hours.

 

Expect These Eight Steps From The Governments Playbook To anyone paying attention, reality is now painfully obvious. These bankrupt, insolvent governments have just about run out of fingers to plug the dikes. And history shows that, once this happens, governments fall back on a very limited playbook...

 

Bob Janjuah Tactical Short But "We Are Not There Yet" For The Big One Following Nomura's Bob Janjuah's 'wine into water... are we there yet?' note in February, the market has followed his script almost perfectly with a continued push to new highs and a small sell-off that was bought excitedly. While he remains convinced that "in terms of positioning and sentiment, we are 'not there yet'," for his 50% S&P 500 plunge; he does believe Q2 will see a 5-10% dip to 1450 as the shambolic policy responses to Cyprus and the 'cat' that #DieselBoom 'let out the bag' add to increasingly weak global growth data. While this dip will also likely be bought, the bearded bear expects the market's comeuppance to arrive late 2013.

 

March Consumer Confidence Plunges As New Home Sales, Richmond Fed Miss Houston we may have a problem: with the DJIA trumpetedely hitting new all time highs day after day in March, one would expect that its traditional second derivative - US Consumer Confidence, would be at all time highs as well, or close thereby. One would be wrong, because according to the Conference Board, March consumer confidence plunged to 59.7 from 69.6, and well below expectations of a 67.5 print. Both components of the index dipped, with both the present situation and expectations indices sliding from 61.4 and 72.4, to 57.9 and 60.9, respectively. And just to make sure the S&P ramps to all time highs on ongoing miserable economic, corporate profit and, of course, sovereign insolvency news, we got both New Home Sales, dropping from 431K to 411K, missing expectations of 420K, and the Richmond Fed also missing expectations of a 6 print, dropping from last month's 6 to 3. All in all, if this latest round of ugly and rapidly getting worse economic data doesn't send the S&P to new all time highs, nothing will. Well, perhaps another European country going broke may do the trick...

{ I no longer will be following Phoenix Capital Resources … too much advertising … too much propaganda … too little meaningfully relevant substance (america et al’s problems are huge). After all, with all china’s faults, not the least of which is communism (I’m definitely not their advocate), one must realistically ask, ‘what nation(s), based on lies and for the sake of military industrial complex profits (as warned against by the great but underrated President General Eisenhower) has been engaged in Orwellian perpetual war despite defacto bankruptcy and pervasive corruption’? Not China… Eureka! Amerika et als!  Inflation Calls BS on the China “Miracle”  http://albertpeia.com/inflationinchina.htm   { For the first time I’m constrained to label a piece by Mr. Summers wishful thinking and a u.s. government propaganda piece at best. While aptly pointing out chinese corruption and fraud as is particularly pervasive in america, he conveniently ignores the success of their primitive, basic, simplistic capitalist business model of low costs (primarily labor, materials, etc.) fueled particularly ab initio by american greed. Go to any store and pick up nearly any product and the likelihood of ‘made in china’ is upwards of 95% (then as well, as with apple, taking into account components). Clearly, Mr. Summers lacks depth of understanding/knowledge concerning costs of tooling, retooling, and manufacturing generally, as well as cost accounting among other business/finance disciplines. As regards their nominal communist system, I remain staunchly opposed to the invariable lie of communism, although the meaningfully lawless (‘too big to fail or jail’) and corrupt, oligarchical crony faux capitalist welfare dependent failing (and ever more socialist) system in america is hardly a laudable alternative.  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm  http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm   .

Guest Post: How I Became A Trillionaire (And Some Thoughts On Inflation) These photos illustrate the fundamentally arbitrary nature of fiat (paper) money. Why do we prefer the $100 greenback over the $100 trillion note issued by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe? The purchasing power of the Benjamin far exceeds the purchasing power of the $100 trillion bill. But the Benjamin is not immune to inflation; the dollar has lost about 95% of its 1900 purchasing power.  If 95% of households are experiencing a loss of purchasing power and most of the new money and credit are flowing to the top 5%, you get asset bubbles, not demand-driven inflation. When 95% of the households are poorer in terms of purchasing power and financial wealth, where can demand-driven inflation arise in a global economy of massive manufacturing and labor over-capacity? The rise in costs within industries controlled by cartels (healthcare, higher education, defense, etc.) may look like demand-driven inflation, but are actually transfers of wealth and purchasing power from households to the government-protected cartels.

Cyprus: The Unique Template in Nine Theses Posted by: Marc To Market Post date: 03/25/2013 - Overview of implications and consequences of Cyprus 2.0.

 

5 things you can't resell  Marketwatch:  Despite Supreme Court ruling upholding resales, some items cause trouble. ‘A U.S. Supreme Court ruling earlier this week was a big win for consumers who value the right to resell products they have purchased — even if they bought them abroad. In the case in question, publisher John Wiley & Sons accused a former college student of infringing on its copyright when he bought less-expensive Asian versions of the publisher’s textbooks and then resold them to U.S. students on eBay. (The books, it said, were meant to be sold only in certain regions.) The court held that the so-called “first sale” doctrine — which allows that once a company sells a copyrighted product, the purchaser has the right to later resell it — applies even if the product was produced outside the U.S. But it’s not a universal right. There are some notable exceptions of items that, once bought, aren’t so easy to unload.’ — Kelli B. Grant

 

 

Have The Russians Already Quietly Withdrawn All Their Cash From Cyprus?Yesterday, we first reported on something very disturbing (at least to Cyprus' citizens): despite the closed banks (which will mostly reopen tomorrow, while the two biggest soon to be liquidated banks Laiki and BoC will be shuttered until Thursday) and the capital controls, the local financial system has been leaking cash. Lots and lots of cash. Alas, we did not have much granularity or details on who or where these illegal transfers were conducted with. Today, courtesy of a follow up by Reuters, we do.  As it turns out, the Russian oligrachs this whole operation was geared to punish, may have used the one week hiatus period of total chaos in the banking system to transfer the bulk of the cash they had deposited with one of the two main Cypriot banks, in the process making the whole punitive point of collapsing the Cyprus financial system entirely moot.

 

In Japan It's "Whatever(er) It Takes" After the strongest 4-day surge in 11 months, it would appear that the BoJ is on full-court-press tonight to jawbone the world back to the new normal. The sad truth is though, they can't even make up their own punchlines anymore:*KURODA: BOJ WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO END DEFLATION. Well, why not, it worked for Draghi for a few months? Of course JPY is leaking back lower a little as they talk up their devaluation strategy (and all their various shiny new options - that have never been tried before) - even as: *KURODA: UNCERTAINTIES ARE HIGH FOR JAPAN'S ECONOMY. Between Dijsselbloem's slip of truth (and rapid retraction) and now this 'copycat-ism' by a desparate BoJ, that simply put, we are being taken for fools.

 

Mayor Bloomberg On Drones: "Oh It's Big Brother, Get Used To It"While hosting his weekly radio show this past Friday, Your Royal Highness Mayor Michael Bloomberg explained to the serfs of NYC that privacy is dead and that you just "can't keep the tide" of the surveillance state from coming in.  His quotes perfectly demonstrate the attitude he takes toward his subjects and are quite revealing.  For instance: "Everybody wants their privacy, but I dont know how youre going to maintain it.  Its just were going into a different world, uncharted, and, like it or not, what people can do, what governments can do, is different." This whole thing comes across as a gigantic Jedi mind trick to me.  Its inevitable you will lose your freedoms.  Resistance is futile.  Just accept it.  Sadly, unlike the proud citizens of Seattle, New Yorkers are still too traumatized from 9/11 to get off their knees.

 

The "Wealth Tax" Contagion Is Rapidly Spreading: Switzerland, Cyprus And Now ....It was only yesterday that we wrote about comparable problems to those which Russian depositors may (or may not be?) suffering in Cyprus right, this time impacting wealthy Americans and their Swiss bank accounts, where as a result of unprecedented DOJ pressure the local banks will soon breach all client confidentiality and expose all US citizens who still have cash in the former tax haven under the assumption that they are all tax evaders and violators. And in the continuum of creeping wealth taxes which first started in Switzerland, then Cyprus, and soon who knows where else, there was just one question: "The question then is: how many of the oligarchs, Russian or otherwise, who avoided a complete wipe out and total capital controls in Cyprus, will wait to find out if the same fate will befall them in Switzerland? Or Luxembourg? Or Lichtenstein? Or Singapore?" Today we got the answer, and yes it was one of the abovementioned usual suspects. The winner is.... Lichtenstein.

 

Visualizing The 'All-In' Hope That QE3 Will Save The US EconomyPresented with little comment but to note the somewhat exponential exuberance in US cyclical stocks (relative to defensives) that has gradually accelerated since the Fed launched QE3. If ever there was a chart of 'hope' or 'faith', this is it.

 

Guest Post: Say Goodbye To The Purchasing Power Of The Dollar Through the centuries in historic cultures like that of Yap Island who used giant, immovable stone disks for commerce, to today's United States, whose Dollar fiat currency exists primarily in digital form "money" is able to be exchanged for goods and services because society agrees to accept it (at a certain rate of exchange). But what happens when a society starts doubting the value of its money?  Perhaps the Fed has just the right talent and tools we need to finesse our way out of the challenges we face. Unlikely. The reality is, the Federal Reserve is like any other organization. Human. And fallible. For those who want to argue that the Fed, with its cadre of hyper-degreed academics and its insider access, has superior information and thus the ability to predict the future with unparalleled accuracy; we humbly ask you to watch the following...

 

Citi Destroys The 'Cash-Hoarding-Corporations-Should-Return-It-To-Shareholders' Meme When it comes to popular finance myths, cash hoarding by corporates may be one of the most perpetuated. It's not that the data is wrong; US companies are holding more cash on their balance sheets than at any time in the past, as a report by Moody's this week notes. What's misguided is the narrative, in Citi's view, in particular among equity investors. What they most take issue with is the implication that corporates have lots of cash to return to shareholders. Indeed, there's plenty of data to the contrary that challenges the prevailing notion that corporates are the picture of good health.

 

"Two Lips From Amsterdam" Sends Stocks Sliding It was so easy. Of course they'd save Cyprus somehow and we could all go back to business as usual - and sure enough that's how we opened, stocks at highs, VIX banging lows, bond yields grabbed higher, but behind the scenes a few things were not playing along (US and EU bank equity and credit for one). 1 point from S&P 500 highs. Then #DieselBoom uttered that word - 'template' - and all was let loose as the realization that risk existed suddenly flooded back into investors' minds. S&P 500 futures dropped over 20 points high to low (with downward volume very heavy), when Jeroen tried to jawbone his statement back we dribbled back up to VWAP but couldn't break it and from there (despite spurious JPY-based headlines once again), risk-on assets drifted to the lows. As carry trades were lifted (and everyone shied away from EUR) so JPY jerked 1.4% higher (and fell back a little into the close) but against every thing else the USD was bid. Treasuries banged back to the low yields of last week and despite USD strength, Oil ended above $94.50 as Copper fell 0.5% and Gold and Silver bounced from an earlier spike lower. VIX opened under 12.5%, soared back over 14.5%, and closed +0.25vols at 13.8%. Meanwhile, the big banks in the US are -7% from Cyprus and still expensive to credit.

 

From Blessing To (Soon To Be Confiscated) Curse: When Cyprus' Massive Deposits Were A Great Thing In the aftermath of this weekend's earth-shattering developments out of Cyprus, in which countless people lost billions in savings, having forgotten their money is nothing more (or less) than a general unsecured liability of an insolvent banking sector which in the absence of the Bernanke and Draghi moral hazard-put are simply easy confiscation targets, it is difficult to conceive that having a massive surplus of deposits was actually a good thing. Ironically, this was precisely the case as recently as 10 months ago, as this May 2012 presentation from the Bank of Cyprus titled "International Banking Services: Strategic Business Crossroad - A Reliable Financial Center" (don't laugh) makes all too clear.

 

A Deposit In A Bank Is Not A Riskless Form Of Saving Like Lehman Brothers before it, Cyprus may well come to be seen not so much as the cause of further crisis but as yet another symptom of the long emergency that continues to suffocate the western economies. We would describe this emergency as, fundamentally, an inevitable crisis triggered by an unsustainable explosion of credit; western banks and western governments are now like Macbeths “…two spent swimmers, that do cling together / And choke their art. The prime minister of Luxembourg, Jean-Claude Juncker, has provided two clear insights into this world of deceit: We all know what to do, we just dont know how to get re-elected after we have done it. And, When it becomes serious, you have to lie. This is what we now have by way of government: a self-serving elite who cannot be trusted, operating to a timetable defined by, and limited to, the electoral cycle.

 

Three 'Currency' ChartsWith stocks holding near all-time highs, exhibiting similar fear-and-greed driven ebbs and flows (more flow than ebb for now), we thought these three charts would provide some interesting analogs. As Citi's Tom Fitzpatrick notes, the current charts for Gold, The USD Index, and USDJPY have some intriguing similarities to (respectively) 2006/7, 1996/7, and 2000/1. If history rhymes, it appears it is time to buy Gold, buy the USD, and prepare for a hiatus in JPY's collapse. With the USD, it is perhaps worth noting that both the (similar) 1981 and 1997 periods followed housing/credit/banking crises. In both instances the Fed eased rates and kept them too low for too long.in the 70s period leading to a stagflationary environment.

 

Guest Post: Why The Government Is Desperately Trying To Inflate A New Housing BubbleMany people claim the Federal government and Federal Reserve are trying to inflate a new housing bubble to trigger a new "wealth effect," i.e. people seeing their home equity rising once again will feel encouraged to borrow and blow money like they did in 2001-2008. But if we look at current income (down) and debt levels (still high), there is little hope for a renewed wealth effect from housing. That leaves us with this conclusion: The Federal government and Federal Reserve are trying to inflate another housing bubble to save the "too big to fail" banks from a richly deserved day of reckoning.

An Orwellian America The state, crippled by massive deficits, endless war and corporate malfeasance, is clearly sliding toward unavoidable bankruptcy. It is time for Big Brother to take over from Huxleys feelies, the orgy-porgy and the centrifugal bumble-puppy. We are transitioning from a society where we are skillfully manipulated by lies and illusions to one where we are overtly controlled. We are one crisis away from a police state. All the powers are in place. Someone will flip the switch.

FiNaNCe IS THe CoNTiNUaTION OF WaR... Posted by : williambanzai7Post date: 03/22/2013 - By other means. http://albertpeia.com/financewar.htm

 

{ I no longer will be following Phoenix Capital Resources … too much advertising … too much propaganda … too little meaningfully relevant substance (america et al’s problems are huge). After all, with all china’s faults, not the least of which is communism (I’m definitely not their advocate), one must realistically ask, ‘what nation(s), based on lies and for the sake of military industrial complex profits (as warned against by the great but underrated President General Eisenhower) has been engaged in Orwellian perpetual war despite defacto bankruptcy and pervasive corruption’? Not China… Eureka! Amerika et als!  Inflation Calls BS on the China “Miracle”  http://albertpeia.com/inflationinchina.htm   { For the first time I’m constrained to label a piece by Mr. Summers wishful thinking and a u.s. government propaganda piece at best. While aptly pointing out chinese corruption and fraud as is particularly pervasive in america, he conveniently ignores the success of their primitive, basic, simplistic capitalist business model of low costs (primarily labor, materials, etc.) fueled particularly ab initio by american greed. Go to any store and pick up nearly any product and the likelihood of ‘made in china’ is upwards of 95% (then as well, as with apple, taking into account components). Clearly, Mr. Summers lacks depth of understanding/knowledge concerning costs of tooling, retooling, and manufacturing generally, as well as cost accounting among other business/finance disciplines. As regards their nominal communist system, I remain staunchly opposed to the invariable lie of communism, although the meaningfully lawless (‘too big to fail or jail’) and corrupt, oligarchical crony faux capitalist welfare dependent failing (and ever more socialist) system in america is hardly a laudable alternative.  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm  http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm   . The point is, america’s substantial problems are not the result of Chinese corruption; but rather, plain old american pervasive corruption and criminality. }

 

 

Marketwatch  No stock in Social Security  Henry Hebeler  There are too many risks to start sinking any part of the Social Security fund into equities. { The desperate wall street/government frauds are at it again, sensing the debacle around the corner. And, just as we’d thought we’d heard the last of this preposterously fraudulent idea from war criminal and (fellow, with wobama) failed president dumbya bush. }

 


Marketwatch  Don't jump into stocks Howard Gold  Commentary: Now is not the time to get into equities

 

Cyprus Officially Passes Capital Controls Into Law While it is unknown if the Cypriot parliament will agree to, and enact into law, the Troika-demanded deposit haircuts, after the shocking vote of mutiny against Merkel earlier this week that saw not one politician vote for the Europe suggested deposit tax levy (and even the ruling party abstained), a vote which will once more take place tomorrow, moments ago Cyprus became the first Eurozone country to officially implement governmental capital controls into legislation. At this point it had no choice: whatever happens with the deposit haircut, or with everything else, it is now inevitable that the local Cypriots will do all they can to pull as much money from domestic banking system as possible following the complete loss of faith and trust in banks, which is why the government had no choice but to intervene with its own "controls." Sadly, this marks a milestone in the development of the Eurozone - it's all downhill, and accelerating, from here.

 

Chris Martenson Warns "Market Risks Today Are Higher than Ever"For those still with capital in the paper markets, Peak Prosperity's Chris Martenson believes there are dangerous risks re-building. In particular, he sees an unacceptably high and growing risk of a cascading series of corrections in the bond markets (corporate and sovereign), which would have a much greater impact on destroying wealth worldwide than any stock market crash could. The return of reckless practices like CDOs and overuse of derivatives indicates that we are far along the timeline in repeating a 2008-like contraction -- but worse. Despite today's heady elevated prices, it's time to get to the sidelines, and use your paper - while it still has the purchasing power it does - to park your wealth in hard assets.

 

The Harder They Come, The Harder They'll Fall...Markets are remarkably schizophrenic about where risk is flowing... and where it isnt.  For example, ConvergEx's Nick Colas notes, the CBOE VIX Index is up from 12.3 a month ago to a close of 14.0 yesterday. And other risk assets such as Emerging Markets, U.S. Small Caps, Energy names, and developed economy international stocks all show higher 'VIXs' over the same 30 day period.  But... and its a big 'But'... just as many sectors/asset classes in our tracking universe show declines in their 'VIXs'.  The most pronounced are domestic Consumer Discretionary, Utilities, and Tech names as well as precious metals and High Yield Corporate bonds, where Implied Vols are 6-17% lower this month and in most cases are at/near 52 week lows.  If you are looking for spots where volatility might make a comeback, these are good places to start. This market reminds us of an old joke: Question: What do you call a person who is both ignorant and apathetic? Answer: I dont know and I dont care.

 

Guest Post: Time To Plan For The Worst Rather Than Hope For The BestPreparation for disaster, whether natural or man-made, should be as vital as any ideal found in the various practices of religion and spiritualism. Preparedness should be treated with reverence, discipline and duty. The drive for preparation should be seated in the very heart of humanity. As individuals and as a society, we should hold preparedness dear, for it is an expression of the desire for survival and the key to maintaining our inherent freedoms. Without self-sufficiency, we set ourselves up for endless failure and enslavement. The primary issue has always been one of distraction. Even those who are fully informed of the very real and immediate dangers to our economy and our Nation as a whole find it difficult not to get wrapped up in the concerns of the old America. Mind-numbing job environments, superficial family dramas, television hypnosis, Facebook narcissism, consumer addictions, improving ones perceived social status: all of these things waste precious time in our daily lives, making us weak and sapping our resiliency. They encourage us toward apathy. Always, we are telling ourselves: I did nothing today, but tomorrow will be different.

 

Dow Crushed 0.01% For 3rd Worst Week Of The YearForgive the sarcasm in the title but it is indeed the Dow's 3rd worst weekly performance of 2013. The major US equity indices end the week near their highs - apart from the Trannies - but all fail to get back into the green as Cypriot concern is weighing everywhere but stocks. VIX ends the week notably higher (and near the highs of the week) as protection was very much bid into the weekend. The USD slipped on the day but ends the week up 0.35% (led by EUR weakness just outweighing GBP and JPY strength). Oil and Silver danced around each other all week to end it perfectly in line at -0.15%, Gold outperformed +1%, and Copper dropped 1.5%. Treasuries also ignored equity ebullience and ended the week near their low yields (down 7-9bps). While financials were not the worst sector on the week, the majors were ugly ending at their lows with Staples leading overall. Today's volume and average trade size were among the lowest of the year as everyone prepares for a long weekend in front of the screens...

 

Wearing A Bailout On Your Wrist, Or Why Cyprus Should Speak To The Ukraine As the Cypriots scramble for every penny, hoping for a Hail-Mary from Russia at the last minute, we suspect they are missing one potential provider of all that money. That nation appears to be Russian neighbor, The  Ukraine judging from the 'wealth' exhibited by some members of the Ukrainian parliament. As EnglishRussia.com notes, a $650,000 watch is no problem if you create laws in Ukraine as we humbly suggest some that wealth (the rare watch is special order (here) with only 30 being made) trickle down to the Cypriots (of course at EUR400 per day per person) - they only need 7,000 watches to plug their bailout funding hole!

 

Paying With A Hundred Dollar Bill? Prepare To Fill Out A FormWhile depositors in Europe are having their money confiscated outright by their less than friendly governments and despotic, tyrannical politicians who will do everything in the name of "equality, fraternity and of course liberty" or, said otherwise, preserving their careers and the status quo while throwing their taxpayers and voters into the firepit of Keynesian and monetarist idiocy, in the US a different form of capital control may be taking shape. NBC reports from Rhode Island, where a local restaurant chain is now demanding that any clients paying with $100 bills also provide their name, phone number, and drivers' license. By doing this - supposedly in the name of avoiding counterfeiting but don't you dare mention fake bill spotting markets or UV light - it eliminates the only upside that paper money had over electronic transactions: anonymity. How soon before all other retailers and vendors decide that it is a good idea to demand their clients' personal info, for the sake of avoiding counterfeiting of course, first in all $100 bill transactions, then $50, then $20, and so on?

 

German Central Bank Warns Of "Incendiary" Monetary Policy"The euro crisis is certainly not over yet," is how the Bundesbank's Jens Weidmann begins this intriguingly honest interview, adding that, resolution "will take some time." Perhaps his most telling statement comes early on when he explains that "believing that everything is okay now simply because the situation on the financial markets has eased is an illusion and does not help matters," as imbalances remain unresolved. From French un-competitiveness to Italy's potential about-turn on reforms, the outspoken German then goes on to address a critical point: "There are indeed some who see a solution to the crisis in the shape of higher inflation. I would regard such an approach as potentially incendiary. Once you allow inflation, it becomes very difficult to tame. In the short term, our projections show no excessive increase in prices. However, I would caution against underestimating the medium to long-term risks to stability. There must be no doubt that, when the time is right, we will tighten monetary policy."

 

Daily Divergence: Pick The Odd One OutIt's one of those days. US equity markets are levitating oin extremely thin volume against the trend in every other risk-asset market. Treasury yields are pushing lower as safety is sought, VIX is bid as protection is sought ahead of the weekend, credit markets are leaking lower (at lows of day), and JPY strength is not helping the carry traders... but then again, none of that matters... we need moar...because all that matters is a green Dow close for the week.

 

A Lesson In Magical European "Value Creation"Behold a lesson in magical "value creation":SPAIN'S BANK RESCUE FUND TO VALUE BANKIA SHARES AT EUR 0.01 - As a reminder, Bankia is the recently broke bank that was created when it subsumed a bunch of other formerly broke banks. SPAIN BANK FUND AIMS FOR NOMINAL BANKIA SHARE VALUE OF EUR 1.00   SPAIN'S BANK RESCUE FUND TO DO REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF BANKIA STOCK   SPAIN BANK RESCUE FUND SAYS BANKIA SHARES WILL BE WORTH EUR 1.00 AFTER 100-TO-1 REVERSE STOCK SPLIT  To explain for those confused: you start with a broke, literally, bank. You value the "equity" at the lowest possible increment in existence. Then you apply a reverse stock split. And finally, you end up with a perfectly solvent bank whose stock trades at EUR 1.00/share.

 

Cable Slumps As Fitch Places UK On Rating Watch Negative Based on the the budget, Fitch has placed the United Kingdom's AAA taing on Watch Negative (for future downgrade): The RWN reflect the latest economic and fiscal forecasts published by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) that indicate that UK government debt will peak later and at a higher level than previously expected by Fitch. GBPUSD snapped 50 pips lower but is reverting a little now - US equities shrug (just another piece of AAA collateral nearer biting the dust).

 

Guest Post: Fed's Economic Projections - Myth Vs RealityWith the Fed now fully engaged, and few if any policy tools left, the effectiveness of continued artificial stimulation is clearly waning.  Lower mortgages rates, interest rates and excess liquidity served well in priming the pumps of the real estate and financial markets when valuations were extremely depressed.  However, four years and four programs later, stock valuations are no longer low, earnings are no longer depressed and the majority of real estate related activity has likely been completed. It is for this reason that the returns from each subsequent program have diminished.  The reality is that Fed may have finally found the limits of their effectiveness as earnings growth slows, economic data weakens and real unemployment remains high.  Reminiscent of the choices of Goldilocks - it is likely the Fed's estimates for economic growth in 2013 are too hot, employment is too cold and inflation estimates may be just about right.  The real unspoken concern is the continued threat of deflation and the next recession.

Saxo Bank Explains How Massive Stock Market Rallies EndNow that many are convinced we've moved into totally unjustifiable extremes of complacency in risky assets, we are having a look at some historic stock market breaks and how they have unfolded. In that light, the current setup is rather ominous. Saxo Bank's John Hardy likes to look at historic patterns, particularly when the past might provide a historic parallel for the present situation. In this case, we're interested in what many historic major equity chart tops look like in a technical sense now that if feels like we've entered into a blow-off territory technically. Somewhat to our surprise, we found that many major market tops had remarkably similar traits as the one we have just posted.

Guest Post: How I Became A Trillionaire (And Some Thoughts On Inflation) These photos illustrate the fundamentally arbitrary nature of fiat (paper) money. Why do we prefer the $100 greenback over the $100 trillion note issued by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe? The purchasing power of the Benjamin far exceeds the purchasing power of the $100 trillion bill. But the Benjamin is not immune to inflation; the dollar has lost about 95% of its 1900 purchasing power.  If 95% of households are experiencing a loss of purchasing power and most of the new money and credit are flowing to the top 5%, you get asset bubbles, not demand-driven inflation. When 95% of the households are poorer in terms of purchasing power and financial wealth, where can demand-driven inflation arise in a global economy of massive manufacturing and labor over-capacity? The rise in costs within industries controlled by cartels (healthcare, higher education, defense, etc.) may look like demand-driven inflation, but are actually transfers of wealth and purchasing power from households to the government-protected cartels.

Inflation Calls BS on the China Miracle

Initial Claims Continue Grind Lower, Prior Revised Higher With record numbers of people out of the labor force, and hundreds of thousands falling off each month, it is no surprise that the grind lower in initial claims continues - after all there is only so long one can request insurance benefits, now that extended claims are limited. In the week ended March 16, initial claims rose from an upward revised 334K (was 332K and merely the latest in an infinite series of prior upward revisions) to 336K, just below the expected 340K, even as NSA claims declined more to 299K. It would not be surprising that with the current of labor force exodus we get a 100K-handle unadjusted print soon as the pool of eligible workers who collect benefits shrinks to record levels. A tad defensive BLS was quick to note that unlike prior weeks, no states number were estimated. Continuing claims rose also, from an upward revised 3048K to 3053K, above the expected 3050K. Overall a snoozer of a report. The biggest surprise, however, was in the emergency extended benefits, which has continued it abnormally erratic weekly pattern, with this time 136K people falling off, following last week's weekly surge. A tiny 1.8 million Americans are now on extended claims, nearly 1.1 million below the 2.9 million last year. Curious who the people applying for SS disability are? Now you know.

 

Is This The New "Scariest" European Chart? Until this past weekend, the scariest, and thus most important, chart relating to Europe, was that of European youth unemployment. And while its updates month after month showed a situation hopeless and constantly getting worse, the final outcome is quite clear: it is not a pleasant one especially for Europe's youth. However, now that the topic of bank confidence, particularly in the context of unwarranted and unprecedented deposit confiscation is suddenly front and center across the entire Eurozone, here is the new "scariest" European chart: that of deposits around the European periphery. We know one thing: if and when the Cypriot banking system reopens, the dark gray line for Cyprus is going straight down. The real question is: which other lines will follow Cyprus in its dramatic reintroduction to monetary gravity?

 

ECB Gives Cyprus March 25 Liquidity UltimatumAs reported yesterday, Cyprus banks are now expected to reopen next Tuesday. We would boldly go ahead and take the under following overnight news that the ECB has once more escalated its political interventions (remember the lies about "apolitical, independent" Central Banks - good times...), and following a Reuters report yesterday that the ECB is prepared to let Cyprus go, the FT now has doubled down on the propaganda, reporting (in an article with no less than five authors) that the ECB has issued an ultimatum to Cyprus to agree to a bailout by Monday (which is a holiday), or the free liquidity ends. "The European Central Bank raised the stakes in the Cyprus crisis on Thursday, telling Nicosia it had until Monday to agree a bailout with the EU and International Monetary Fund or it would cut off emergency liquidity provision to the countrys banks. The hardline stance from the ECB sets a clear deadline for Cyprus to agree to a plan after its parliament rejected a bailout negotiated at the weekend that would have taxed the deposits of account holders in the countrys banks." Which means yet another weekend of ad hoc choices and spontaneous decisions awaits, only this time with a key non-Euro actor involved in the face of Russia, whose interest just in case there is any confusion, is to see Cyprus crushed, so it can swoop in later and "acquire" the assets on the cheap, or preferably free, while the local population welcome the second coming of the glorious Red Army with open arms, delighted to be free of European slavery. Well played Putin.

US Begins Regulating BitCoin, Will Apply "Money Laundering" Rules To Virtual Transactions Last November, in an act of sheer monetary desperation, the ECB issued an exhaustive, and quite ridiculous, pamphlet titled "Virtual Currency Schemes" in which it mocked and warned about the "ponziness" of such electronic currencies as BitCoin. Why a central bank would stoop so "low" to even acknowledge what no "self-respecting" (sic) PhD-clad economist would even discuss, drunk and slurring, at cocktail parties, remains a mystery to this day. However, that it did so over fears the official artificial currency of the insolvent continent, the EUR, may be becoming even more "ponzi" than the BitCoins the ECB was warning about, was clear to everyone involved who saw right through the cheap propaganda attempt. Feel free to ask any Cypriot if they would now rather have their money in locked up Euros, or in "ponzi" yet freely transferable, unregulated BitCoins.  And while precious metals have been subject to price manipulation by the legacy establishment, even if ultimately the actual physical currency equivalent asset, its "value" naively expressed in some paper currency, may be in the possession of the beholder, to date no price suppression or regulation schemes of virtual currencies existed. At least until now: it appears that the ever-benevolent, and always knowing what is "in your best interest" Big Brother has decided to finally take a long, hard look at what is going on in the world of BitCoin... and promptly crush it.

 

Guest Post: The Fracking Revolution Comes to ChinaWith some predicting China will import 79% of its oil by 2030, could domestic shale gas extraction help China meet its energy needs? As shale gas fever sweeps through Beijing, analysts are looking at the costs and benefits of extracting what is increasingly a controversial source of energy. But for China, with its growing middle class, the immediate and long-term demand for energy has the potential to spark a revolution in shale gas before sufficient and safe technological know-how and regulations are developed.

 

Global Slowdown Accelerates Driven By Confidence / New Orders PlungeGoldman's 'Swirlogram' places the global industrial cycle squarely in the 'Slowdown' phase as growth momentum fades rapidly. Driven by plunges in aggregate confidence levels and New Orders (less inventories) - as well as CAD and AUD data - this reinforces last month's preliminary view of a slowdown beginning. Goldman notes we could potentially see weaker global activity over the coming months. Is it any wonder we are seeing bellweather names missing in a big (un-unique) way.

 

The Fed Has Already Imposed A "Cyprus Tax" On U.S. Savers So far, Cyprus has not been able to pass a direct tax against depositors and has gone to Russia for a helping hand (and failed).  However, the question of whether such an event could happen in the U.S. is a much more interesting point of discussion. While to most onlookers the idea of a direct deposit tax instituted by domestic US banks remains far off - the issue of the Fed's monetary policies, particularly since the last recession, has had a significant impact on "savers." While the individuals in Cyprus have been faced with an outright extraction of capital from their accounts - U.S. savers have had their savings negatively impacted much more surreptitiously. The continued drive by the Fed's monetary policies to artificially suppress interest rates to create a negative interest rate environment for savers is a defacto "tax" on savings. The destruction of principal since the turn of the century, which is far more disastrous than it appears when adjusted for inflation, has ended the dream of retirement for many individuals. So, can the U.S. potentially have a direct tax on savings?  It's already happened.

 

HFT Reality: 70% Of Price Moves Are Disconnected From Fundamental RealityWhile it will be no surprise to any ZeroHedge reader, academic research from ETH Zurich shows that not only are "commodity markets becoming very financialized and computerized... and more susceptible to minor shocks," but "at least 60-70% of price changes are now due to self-generated activities rather than novel information." In other words, only about a third of commodity price moves are caused by real fundamental news now (as opposed to 75% pre-HFT).

 

Guest Post: Whose Insured Deposits Will Be Plundered Next?While Cyprus grabs the headlines, there are stirrings in Spain, New Zealand, and the UK with regard to how depositor funds (and their apparent insurance) is considered in the new normal banking system. As John Aziz notes, essentially, if there is to be any confidence in the banking system, the possibility of depleting liquidity insurance funds to bail out banks needs to be taken off the table completely. The possibility of insured depositor haircuts needs to be taken off the table completely. If banks need bailing out, the money must not come from insured depositors, or funds designed to compensate insured depositors. If banks fail, the losers should be the uninsured creditors.

 

Where Does The "Wealth Effect" Go?The Bernank confirmed, in almost perfect hypocrisy to his previous implied comments, that the Fed is not targeting some asset price appreciation but no matter which way you look at it - the 'wealth' effect is an easy concept to comprehend as levered unrealized gains are seen as disposable income. However, as we have pointed out many times, the 'wealth' effect only helps an already wealthy few and as BofAML notes today, spending across income groups is extremely disparate reflecting the 'spending gap' in our aggregately stimulated economy. It is quite intuitive that those with more income will be able to spend more. The top 20% of the income distribution make up nearly 40% of total consumer spending.

The Global Financial Pyramid Scheme By The Numbers Why is the global economy in so much trouble?  How can so many people be so absolutely certain that the world financial system is going to crash?  Well, the truth is that when you take a look at the cold, hard numbers it is not difficult to see why the global financial pyramid scheme is destined to fail.  In the United States today, there is approximately 56 trillion dollars of total debt in our financial system, but there is only about 9 trillion dollars in our bank accounts.  So you could take every single penny out of the banks, multiply it by six, and you still would not have enough money to pay off all of our debts. Overall, there is about 190 trillion dollars of total debt on the planet.  But global GDP is only about 70 trillion dollars.  And the total notional value of all derivatives around the globe is somewhere between 600 trillion and 1500 trillion dollars.  So we have a gigantic problem on our hands.  The global financial system is a very shaky house of cards that has been constructed on a foundation of debt, leverage and incredibly risky derivatives.

Guest Post: How I Became A Trillionaire (And Some Thoughts On Inflation) These photos illustrate the fundamentally arbitrary nature of fiat (paper) money. Why do we prefer the $100 greenback over the $100 trillion note issued by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe? The purchasing power of the Benjamin far exceeds the purchasing power of the $100 trillion bill. But the Benjamin is not immune to inflation; the dollar has lost about 95% of its 1900 purchasing power.  If 95% of households are experiencing a loss of purchasing power and most of the new money and credit are flowing to the top 5%, you get asset bubbles, not demand-driven inflation. When 95% of the households are poorer in terms of purchasing power and financial wealth, where can demand-driven inflation arise in a global economy of massive manufacturing and labor over-capacity? The rise in costs within industries controlled by cartels (healthcare, higher education, defense, etc.) may look like demand-driven inflation, but are actually transfers of wealth and purchasing power from households to the government-protected cartels.

Saxo Bank CEO: "Is Cyprus Deposit Levy The First Sign Of Widespread Wealth Tax?" We have seen again that the Eurozone is unable to deal rationally with its problems. This has got to be the most incompetent handling of a Euro crisis event so far, but underlines the hopeless situation the 17 countries that share the common currency are in. The idea of a one-off wealth tax, however, is not new. Several research reports have pointed in recent years to the fact that the desperate need for funding in the public sector could - and probably will - eventually lead to confiscation of wealth in a monumental scale. Boston Consulting Group suggested in a recent report that about 29 percent of ALL private wealth, not just deposits, will eventually be likely to be confiscated to cover the debts already incurred. So we had better get used to seeing our money being appropriated by money-hungry politicians. This is just the beginning. The cat is out of the bag, no matter if this particular deal should fall apart.

 

Oracle Loses 2013 Gains Following Top-To-Bottom Losses, Guides Lower How quickly the mighty can fall. Once again, a leading market bellweather for how awesome everything is has missed. Missed Top-line; missed bottom-line; guided top-line lower; guided bottom-line lower. It seems, surprise surprise, currency headwinds are to blame for some of the damage.

*ORACLE 3Q NON-GAAP EPS 65C, EST. 66C

*ORACLE 3Q NON-GAAP REV. $8.97B, EST. $9.37B

*ORACLE SEES 4Q NON-GAAP REVENUE DOWN 1% TO UP 4%, EST. UP 5%

*ORACLE SEES 4Q NON-GAAP EPS 85C-91C, EST. 88C

 

And after all that, ORCL is now trading down for 2013... and don't forget, ORCL is one of the Top 10 S&P 500 stocks accounting for 90% of its earnings beats last quarter...

 

 

Pop Quiz Answer: Presenting Countries "X" And "Y"

 

Stocks Close Below Open (and FOMC) As Market Fades After-Hours It was a dream come true new normal FOMC day - green all around as the overnight pump on Russian hope provided the anchor. US equities (except Transports which were hammered by FDX) wiggled sideways around unchanged from pre-Cyprus, ignored the Fed, jumped on the BoJ non-news, ran some stops into the close, and then gave back all the open-to-close gains as JBL and ORCL missed and reality sunk in. Post-Cyprus, Morgan Stanley remains -4% (and BofA +2%) but homebuilders led the way. Volume was average; average trade size was low (and has been falling). For most of the day Treasury yields (+5bps on the day), S&P 500 futures (+6pts), and EURJPY were inseparable as algos ruled the VWAP waves. The S&P 500 ends below pre-FOMC levels but Oil was among the biggest post-FOMC gainer.

 

Caption Contest: "Hope... Solid Value... Timeless" From the cover pages of The Bank of Cyprus 2011 Annual Report...

 

Meanwhile In Global Logistics... FedEx started the day down around 4% (on the disaster that we noted earlier) and has not looked back. Now at the lows of the day, down 7% (and 8.5% from its highs yesterday) this is the biggest drop and biggest volume (with 30 minutes left in the day) in 18 months. So much for global trade volumes...

 

Non-News That Japan Will Ease "Boldly" Has Bigger Impact Than Bernanke But wait - some regurgitated news from Japan of 'moar easing' and EURJPY ramps to pull S&P futures up to pre-Cyprus levels...*BANK OF JAPAN GOV TO CALL FOR 'BOLD EASING,' NIKKEI SAYS You have to wonder when no-news from the BoJ trumps no-news from the Fed in stirring S&P to move (but success as the S&P maaged to finally close the Cyprus gap)... We can't help but wonder who decided that at 2:05am Japan time this non-news algo-pumping headline should be released?

 

Bernanke Press Conference - Live Webcast Will the Chairman mention the tools the Fed has to unwind its $3.1 trillion balance sheet, as he did during his Humphrey Hawkins testimony, which included "belts, suspenders -- two pairs of suspenders", will he discuss the many hats broke savers have, will he repeat that he does not provide financial advise, will he praise his tremendous "inflation record" once more, will he discuss the complete lack of the currency war the entire world is engaged in, or will he simply focus on what Corker called the "faux wealth effect"? Found out in moments as Bernanke hand-picked journalists toss him a veritable cornucopia of softball questions.

 

Post-FOMC: Market Un-Response The reaction to the FOMC statement is extremely significant in its almost entire lack of response. Pre: 10Y 1.94%, ES 1550, Gold $1606, WTI $92.70, EUR 1.2950
Post: 10Y 1.935%, ES 1551.5, Gold $1606.5, WTI $92.95, EUR 1.2966 Mortgage spreads widened very modestly; Volume has died; VWAP is your friend; and the Great and Powerful Oz is about to speak.

 

The Fed's Revised Economic Projections If there is one thing to be said about the just revised economic projections from the Fed (2013 GDP slightly lower on the upper range, the same as the unemployment rate which the Fed now sees dropping to as little as 6.7% in 2014), is that the economy will do everything but what the Fed has forecast, at least if history is any indication.

 

No Surprises From FOMC - Statement Redline Comparison As expected, Bernanke and his pals decided moar is betterer and keep the monetary policy foot to the floor even as they suggest things are getting better but not better enough.

*FED SEES ECONOMY RETURNING TO MODERATE GROWTH AFTER Q4 PAUSE

*FED CONTINUES TO SEE DOWNSIDE RISKS TO ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

*FED MAINTAINS $85 BILLION MONTHLY PACE OF BOND BUYING

*FED SAYS FISCAL POLICY HAS BECOME SOMEWHAT MORE RESTRICTIVE

So everything is moving forward; Politicians are still idiots but don't worry we won't stop... Though the schizophrenia remains as they cut growth for 2013 ( 2.3%-2.8% vs 2.3%-3.0%) but lowered unemployment for 2013 (7.3%-7.5% vs 7.4%-7.7%). Pre: 10Y 1.94%, ES 1550, Gold $1606, WTI $92.70, EUR 1.2950

 

 

ECB Re-Bluffs To Cyprus Bluff, Is "Prepared To Let Cyprus Go" When the market briefly surged yesterday, following the cryptic note from the ECB that it would "provide liquidity within existing rules" we urged to ignore the kneejerk algorithmic exuberance (although with only algos left trading that was obviously self-defeating) which interpreted this as an indication the ECB would provide unconditional liquidity now and forever, and that this was hardly a bullish sign because "the last thing the ECB wants is to appear weak, and fold letting every other broke deadbeat country to demand the same equitable treatment and diluting Germany's political might." Today, Reuters has picked up on this coming out with its own analysis that the "The European Central Bank is prepared to cut off funding to Cyprus and let the Mediterranean island succumb to financial meltdown if it has to, confident it has unlimited firepower to protect the rest of the euro zone."

Nigel Farage Message To Europeans: "Get Your Money Out While You Can"In Nigel Farage's first TV appearance since the Cypriot wealth tax was announced, the Englishman pulls no punches. In all his years and all his experience of the desperation of the European Union's leadership "never did [he] think they would resort to stealing money from people's savings accounts." The simple fact is that they know they cannot let any country leave, no matter how small, for "once one country goes, the whole deck of cards will come tumbling down." There is now "clear irreconcilable differences" between the North and the South of Europe and now that they have done this in one country, "they are quite capable of doing it in Italy, Spain and anywhere." The message that sends to people is "get your money out while you can." As far as his British constituents, he strongly recommends George Osborne (UK Chancellor) urge ex-pats to remove all their money and do monthly transfers from home. "Do Not Invest In The Euro-Zone," he concludes, "you have to be mad to do so - as it is now run by people who do not respect democracy, the rule of law, or the basic principles upon which Western civilization is based."

 

Cyprus, It's Not About The NumbersThe Eurogroup agreed on Monday night to allow Cyprus to change the make up of its controversial deposit tax and President Nicos Anastasiades is now proposing that bank customers with deposits under 20,000 euros should not be taxed at all, while keeping the levy the same for the remaining depositors. However, whats happened over the past few days and whats likely to happen in the days and weeks to come has little to do with numbers. It is much more about perceptions. Even if capital flight from Cyprus as a result of this decision is less severe than many fear, even if Cypriot banks survive this real stress test, even if the islands economy is not set back many years, even if savers in Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy dont panic, the idea of a deposit tax and the way it was adopted has released something poisonous in the air. It is difficult to see how these citizens will be able to trust the system - be it their governments, banks or eurozone partners - in the weeks to come. Belief in countries where the economy is contracting and unemployment growing is already vitreous and planting fears about a possible deposits grab in the future could shatter it completely.

 

Guest Post: The Real Reasons Why The Liberty Movement Is Preparing To FightYears ago we wrote of a not so far off future in which martial law, economic collapse, and the destruction of civil liberties stood imminent.  We related our views on the propaganda rhetoric of the SPLC, and how they were using false association to tie liberty groups to any deviant organization they could think of, including racists and domestic terrorists, in order to condition the American public to react to our message with immediate contempt. It became clear to us then that the SPLC, which had become the propaganda wing of the widely reviled Department Of Homeland Security, was helping set the stage for a paradigm shift in the U.S.  This shift would obviously include economic and social disruption, as well as political turmoil beyond anything our nation has seen for over 150 years.  But most importantly, it would pave the way for certain elements of the American populace, namely those who are awake, aware, and outspoken, to be labeled enemy combatants dangerous to the state. The SPLC, of course, has so far utterly failed in their efforts to stop the rise of Constitutional activists.  By their own admission, patriot groups have expanded exponentially since 2008, and continue to develop freely even in the face of wildly absurd character attacks taken from the amoral (immoral) guidebook of Saul Alinsky himself.  The truth, once realized, is difficult if not impossible to stop. Unfortunately, the establishment understands this as well...

 

Is Spain Preparing For Its Own Deposit "Levy"?While Spain's economy minister Luis De Guindos proclaimed in the Senate today that bank deposits under EUR100,000 are "sacred"and that "Spanish savers should stay calm," Spain, it would appear, has changed constitutional rules to enable a so-called 'moderate' levy on deposits - as under previous Spanish law this was prohibited. For now, they claim the 'levy' will be "not much higher than 0%" and is mainly aimed at regions in Spain that have "made no effort to collect taxes" based on new revenue expectations. As El Pais reports, the minister of finance and public administration, Cristobal Montoro, defends the need for such a 'levy' in their constitution on the basis of standardizing taxes across regions (and is preparing a proposal on the amounts to be paid) and although it would appear that while the European Commission could previously argue that such a 'tax' would violate the free movement of capital in Europe, it now leaves the door open to eventually effectively taxing the deposits. We can't help but remember the Tequila crisis and the constant reassurances from Zedillo up until even the night before Mexico devalued...

 

Next: Capital ControlsAs is painfully clear to even the most naive observer, the biggest threat for Europe from this point on, now that Cyprus is officially "unfixed" is what happens when... if the Cyprus banks reopen - will the deluge of bank withdrawals drain 10% of the savings as the country's central banker warned earlier today, 20%, 50% or all of it? It is certain that any and all foreign "oligarch" accounts will be promptly pulled never to be heard of again, and after being treated like third grade European citizens, we doubt the locals will care much for having their cash in a banking system that Europe has shown is equal to all the other "united" banking systems, which however also happen to be just that much more equal. And once foreign TV crews show lines of people scrambling to pull money in Cyprus to the local viewers in Greece, Italy and Spain, will those countries also get comparable ideas? That is precisely the Pandora's box that Europe has now opened, and which it is scrambling to close. How? With the dreaded "contingency plans", among which are such last ditch efforts as capital controls, including "imposing limits on daily withdrawals from bank accounts; capping the amount of money that can be electronically taken out of the country and making these transactions slower to clear; and introducing border checks to cap the amount of cash leaving in the country," most recently utilized in the banana-est of republics such as Argentina.

 

The FOMC's 'Two-Handed' EconomyPresident Truman famously called for a one-handed economist, so he would not have to hear, "on the other hand..." and so, BofAML notes, it may be the same at the March FOMC meeting with regard to the labor market - the apparent key to both QE and forward guidance. On the one hand, the recent US employment data have been stronger. On the other, the sequester is likely to result in significant job loss. On the one hand, the FOMCs unemployment-rate projections are likely to be revised down. On the other, the labor market remains a long way from "substantially improved." The back-and-forth is likely to be broken by Chairman Bernankes press conference, where BofAML expect him to decisively come down on the side of an extended QE program. This should reduce concerns around the exit process and likely ratify market expectations of the first hike (priced for mid 2015), but one glance at the chart below tells you all you need to know about the diverging realities of our two-handed economy.

 

What Does A 'No' Vote Mean For Cyprus And The Eurozone?The Cypriot parliament tonight voted against a bill to introduce a tax on bank deposits, in return for a 10bn bailout offered to the country by Germany and other eurozone governments. Not a single Cypriot MP voted for the deal. The vote leaves Cyprus place in the eurozone hanging in the balance and threatens the escalation of the crisis to a new level, though the most likely outcome is that the Cypriot parliament votes a second time, on a revised deal. The governing party (DISY) abstained (with one member absent), while the junior coalition partner (DIKO) voted against this signifies the huge political divisions at work in Cyprus. Even if a bailout deal is eventually approved the governments position continues to look untenable. As we have noted before, this has the potential to be a very serious twist in the eurozone crisis. Previously, Germany and the eurozone have stressed that Cyprus has no alternatives to the deposit levy. Now, all eurozone partners are forced back into difficult negotiations. Both sides have some serious decisions to make. Below we outline the potential scenarios...

Guest Post: What's Supposed To Happen, And What Might Happen: 3 Baseline ScenariosWe all know what's supposed to happen in the global economy: we get more of everything: more stuff manufactured, more coal dug up and burned, more "aggregate demand" i.e. insatiable desire for more of everything, more innovation, more wealth, more money printed, more debt taken on to buy more stuff and more education, more tourists occupying more beaches sipping more drinks, more strip malls built, more airports expanded, more jobs created, more taxes collected-- more "growth" of everything, in every way and every day. But what if this baseline scenario doesn't appear and the center cannot hold, and the Status Quo devolves - there will be less of everything, not more, and a gradual but steady erosion of all "growth" baselines: fewer jobs, lower wages, fewer taxes collected, less profits, fewer retail outlets. In this case, printing more money and spewing more reassuring propaganda will no longer tamp down the crisis. Rather, the failure of these Status Quo responses will unleash an even more destabilizing crisis.

 

Gold Up, Bonds Up, USD Up, VIX Up... Dow UpStocks bounced off yesterday's lows on the "no" vote from Cyprus led by a miraculously visible hand smashing EURUSD (and implicitly EURJPY) higher instantaneously (BIS or banks repatriating in a hurry). That faded after S&P 500 futures touched VWAP and major volume was dumped but stocks, after an ebullient morning reaching into the green from Friday, fell back once more, only to exhibit the low-volume liftathon on ECB 'no news' to green into the close (for the Dow). Treasuries practically ignored the hyped up pump in the last hour and ended at their lows yields of the week (down 10-13bps) - 3-week lows. VIX surged on the day but drifted back a little into the ramp ending at 14.5% +1vol. FX markets reverted like stocks in the afternoon but the main theme is EUR weakness and JPY strength (carry-off) and despite the USD strength, gold pushed higher to $1612. The S&P and Nasdaq ended the day red (at VWAP) while the magic of the Dow closed it green - once again hedging dominated actual selling for now.

 

European Funding Pressures Spike Most In 14 MonthsOne of the most important indicators of stress in the financial markets of Europe during the heady days of the crisis was the EUR-USD basis swap. Simply put it is an indication of the trouble that European banks are having funding themselves. Thank to the LTRO and a wash from the ECB, it has been largely off the radar for most media types. However, we note that today the 1Y EUR-USD basis swap smashed lower (more stressed) by the most since December 2011 and is at its most stressed since November. It seems trouble, no matter how much Draghi promises, is not too far under the surface...

Marketwatch  Jeff Reeves 10 signs of a tumble    http://albertpeia.com/stockstotumble.htm  Commentary: These negative headlines and data point to the end for stock rally.  Buckle up for a bumpy stock-market ride
 

Cyprus: The Worlds Biggest "Poker Game" While this kind of 'wealth tax' has been predicted, as we noted yesterday, this stunning move in Cyprus is likely only the beginning of this process (which seems only stoppable by social unrest now). To get a sense of both what just happened and what its implications are, RBS has put together an excellent summary of everything you need to know about what the Europeans did, why they did it, what the short- and medium-term market reaction is likely to be, and the big picture of this "toxic policy error." As RBS summarizes, "the deal to effectively haircut Cypriot deposits is an unprecedented move in the Euro crisis and highlights the limits of solidarity and the raw economics that somebody has to pay. It is also the most dangerous gambit that EMU leaders have made to date." And so we await Europe's open and what to expect as the rest of the PIIGSy Banks get plundered.

 

The Rape Of Cyprus By The European Union & The IMFLet's get some things straight and look what has happened directly in the face. There was no tax on the bank accounts in Cyprus. There still is no tax; the Cyprus Parliament has not passed it and will not vote on it until tomorrow so whatever action takes place it is retroactive. Next, this was not enacted by Cyprus. The people from Nicosia did not go to the Summit and ask to have the bank accounts in their country minimized to help pay the bills. Far from it; the nations of Europe, Germany, France, the Netherlands and the rest, demanded that this take place, a "fait accompli," the President of Cyprus said and Europe annexes Cyprus. Let's be quite clear; the European Union has confiscated the private property of the citizens in Cyprus without debate, legislation or Parliamentary agreement. Pay attention please. The European Union and the European Central Bank and the IMF have just advocated the confiscation of private property for their own indulgence.

 

Wall Street: $474 Million, Detroit: 0The more time passes, the more skeletons emerge from the closet.  So whats the punishment for an industry that has literally destroyed countless communities across the American landscape?  Trillions in taxpayer bailouts and even more control over our government.  They say it wouldve been much worse without the bailouts.  Tell that to Detroit...

 

Sell-Side Strategists Summarize Cypriot TsunamiThe usually optimistic bunch of salubrious sell-side strategists are mixed in their perspective of the latest debacle to roll ashore from Europe. Most, if not quite all, expect short-term 'nervousness' and a few hardy Pollyannas remain though looking at the other end of the rainbow - once again because, drum roll please, "central banks will respond." Adding to our summary yesterday, Bloomberg adds another 13 sell-side opinions (and Moody's), it the diversity of response is perhaps best glimpsed with one who "does not expect savers to be fearful of a confiscation of their savings and spark a run on banks" for some whimsical reason and another states unequivocally, "No sensible foreign depositor would continue to keep money in a banking system that just took nearly 10% of his deposit without any notice."

 

Where 'Channel-Stuffed' German Cars Go To DieWith the collapse of Europe's auto market, and the channel-stuffing that is rife in every car manufacturer in the world, it is no surprise that at the end of their brief lease periods, European cars (Audi in this case) are being led to this 'graveyard' in Germany (70 miles north of Munich). This car park of chaos is full of nearly-new cars meant for destruction so as never to enter the car market as a cheap alternative and to maintain a high-priced spare parts market. It seems the Keynesian profligacy or digging a hole to fill it in has progressed in the 21st century to building a car and crushing that car as the engine of growth for our economies.

For Everyone Shocked By What Just Happened... And Why This Is Just The Beginning Today, lots of people woke up in shock and horror to what happened in Cyprus: a forced capital reallocation mandated by political elites under the guise of an "equity investment" in insolvent banks, which is really code for a "coercive, mandatory wealth tax." If less concerned about political correctness, one could say that what just happened was daylight robbery from savers to banks and the status quo. These same people may be even more shocked to learn that today's Cypriot "resolution" is merely the first of many such coercive interventions into personal wealth, first in Europe, and then everywhere else. For the benefit of those people, we wish to point them to our article from September 2011, "The "Muddle Through" Has Failed: BCG Says "There May Be Only Painful Ways Out Of The Crisis", which predicted and explained all of this and much more. What else did the September BCG study conclude? Simply that such mandatory, coercive wealth tax is merely the beginning for a world in which there was some $21 trillion in excess debt as of 2009, a number which has since balooned to over $30 trillion. And with inflation woefully late in appearing and "inflating away" said debt overhang, Europe first is finally moving to Plan B, and is using Cyrprus as its Guniea Pig. For those who missed it the first time, here it is again

 

Europe Does It Again: Cyprus Depositor Haircut "Bailout" Turns Into Saver "Panic", Frozen Assets, Bank Runs, Broken ATMsEurope has done it again.Late last night, after markets closed for the weekend, following an extended discussion the European finance ministers announced their "bailout" solution for Russian oligarch depositor-haven Cyprus: a 13 billion bailout (Europe's fifth) with a huge twist: the implementation of what has been the biggest taboo in European bailouts to date - the  impairment of depositors, and a fresh, full blown escalation in the status quo's war against savers everywhere.  Specifically, Cyprus will impose a levy of 6.75% on deposits of less than 100,000 - the ceiling for European Union account insurance, which is now effectively gone following this case study - and 9.9% above that. The measures will raise 5.8 billion, Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who leads the group of euro-area ministers, said. But it doesn't stop there: a partial "bail-in" of junior bondholders is also possible, as for the first time ever the entire liability structure of a European bank - even if it is a Cypriot bank - is open season for impairments. The logical question: why here, and why now? And what happens when the Cypriot bank run that has taken the country by storm this morning spreads everywhere else, now that the scab over Europe's biggest festering wound is torn throughout the periphery as all the other PIIGS realize they too are expendable on the altar of mollifying voters and investors in the other countries that make up Europe's disunion.

 

Is Greenspan Sealing the Markets Fate?There once was a time when it was fair to say that Alan Greenspan was the biggest living contrary indicator of all time. Long before he became known to a wider audience, in early January of 1973, he famously pronounced (paraphrasing) that 'there is no reason to be anything but bullish now'. The stock market topped out two days later and subsequently suffered what was then its biggest collapse since the 1929-1932 bear market. That was a first hint that stock market traders should pay heed to the mutterings of the later Fed chairman when they concerned market forecasts: whatever he says, make sure you do the exact opposite. The reason why we feel he must be relegated to third place is that since then, arguably two even bigger living contrary indicators have entered the scene: Ben 'the sub-prime crisis is well contained' Bernanke, and Olli 'the euro crisis is over' Rehn. Admittedly it is not yet certain who will be judged the most reliable of them by history, but in any case, when Greenspan speaks, we should definitely still pay heed...

 

Germany And IMF's Initial Deposit Haircut Demand: 40% Of TotalAs the President of Cyprus proclaims  to his people that "we' should all take responsibility as his historic decision will "lead to the permanent rescue of the economy," it appears that the settled-upon 9.9% haircut is a 'good deal' compared to the stunning 40% of total deposits that Germany's FinMin Schaeuble and the IMF demanded. This action, his statement notes, enables the rescue of 8,000 banking sector jobs and ensuring the liquidity of the banks, "allowing the economy to proceed decisively to a new beginning." Ekathimerini reports," this is the first time in the eurozone that a levy has been imposed not on the interest of bank accounts but on the capital itself," and was the only way to bridge most of the the gap between the EUR17bn Nicosia needed and the EUR10bn the ESM was offering, though tax on interest in Cypriot banks will also rise to 20-25%. It is the 40% haircut requirement that concerns us the most as clearly going forward that means other nations, starting Monday (or Tuesday given national holidays) see deposit outflows surge, as the willingness to take such steps is now painfully clear.

 

Saxo Bank CEO: "This Is Full-Blown Socialism And I Still Can't Believe It Happened"It is difficult to describe the weekend bailout package to Cyprus in any other way. The confiscation of 6.75 percent of small depositors' money and 9.9 percent of big depositors' funds is without precedence that I can think of in a supposedly civilised and democratic society. But maybe the European Union (EU) is no longer a civilised democracy? This is a breach of fundamental property rights, dictated to a small country by foreign powers and it must make every bank depositor in Europe shiver. If you can do this once, you can do it again. Depositors in other prospective bailout countries must be running scared - is it safe to keep money in an Italian, Spanish or Greek bank any more? This is a major, MAJOR game changer and the fallout will be with us for a long time to come. Market reaction? it must be very good for gold - and for safe-haven countries like Switzerland and Singapore. This is full-blown socialism and I still cannot believe this really happened. Be careful out there...

 

After Cyprus, Who Is Next?Short answer: we don't know. We do, however, know something we have been pointing out since early 2012 - when it comes to the funding strcuture of European banks, there is a dramatic difference between the US and Europe. In the US, as we showed most recently two months ago, the Big Three depositor banks (JPM, Wells and Bank of America, excluding the still pseudo-nationalized Citi), have a record $858 billion in excess deposits over loans. So what about Europe? Here things get bad. Very bad. So bad in fact that we covered it all just one short year ago. What is the reason for this? Well, as readers can surmise based on what just happened in Europe, it once again has to do with deposits, and specifically the loan-to-deposit ratios of European banks. Because if the US has an excess of deposits over loans, Europe is and has always suffered from the inverse: a massive excess of loans (impaired assets) compared to the most critical of bank liabilities - deposits... One doesn't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that in a world in which European loans are massively mismarked relative to fair value, and where bad and non-performing loans are an exponentially rising component of all "asset" exposure, it will be the liabilities that are ultimately impaired. Liabilities such as deposits.

 

Cyprus President To Rehn: "I Told You Tax Wouldn't Pass. Regards To Mrs Merkel"To say that the tensions within the European "Union" are getting unbearable would be an understatement. According to Mega TV, Anastasiades is reported to have said to Rehn and Brok: When I warned you that there would not be a parliamentary majority to pass the agreement, you didnt want to listen. Give my regards to Mrs Merkel. We eagerly wait to hear back what message Merkel has for the Cypriot leader now that the entire plan is falling apart.

 

Former CEO Of Calpers Indicted On Financial Fraud Scheme ChargesThere was a time when pervasive financial crimes would if not shock and appall people, then at least make them think for a minute or two. Sadly, now that even the biggest bank by assets is found to have misled regulators, shareholders and the broad public and its CEO is proven to have perjured himself before Congress, and absolutely nothing happens, not even one of those token SEC wristslap settlements, we are way past the point of even pretending to care. Which is why there is little we can comment on the news that Federico Buenrostro Jr., 62, the former CEO of the nation's largest pension fund, California's Calpers, has been indicted by a federal grand jury in a scheme to defraud Apollo Management, one of the biggest private equity firms in the nation, of $20 million. How is one supposed to have any faith, or worse, any hope that there is something more than mere criminality pushing the US capital markets to "new highs", and why is anyone surprised the retail investor has given up on the Fed-backstopped US "wealth creation mechanism" long ago.

Guest Post: A Roadmap For American Grand Strategy Part 3 (Of 3)Following Part 1's discussion of America's Dangerous Drift, and Part 2's succincy summation of why America needs a Grand Strategy, today's Part 3 concludes with a discussion of the 'choice' American leaders have: "A decline in Americas leadership role and the emergence of a highly unstable world is a serious possibility. In reality, decline is not a foregone conclusion but a deliberate political choice that builds from a failure to define what matters most to the nation." When we step back from the language and imperatives of grand strategy, the case for the United States to rethink its grand strategy is fundamentally simple. It is designed to meet serious threats while creating and taking advantage of strategic opportunities. To continue on the present course of "drifting" from crisis to crisis effectively invites powers to believe that America is in decline. Worse, Americans, too, might believe wrongly that the nations decline is inevitable. If we are to assure Americas future security and prosperity, we need a new national grand strategy that harnesses Americas spirit, sense of optimism, and perseverance to help the nation meet the challenges and grasp the opportunities of this era. When we think about the alternatives, the United States simply has no choice.

 

17 Signs Of A Full-Blown Economic Depression Raging In Southern EuropeWhen you get into too much debt, eventually really bad things start to happen.  This is a very painful lesson that southern Europe is learning right now, and it is a lesson that the United States will soon learn as well.  It simply is not possible to live way beyond your means forever.  You can do it for a while though, and politicians in the U.S. and in Europe keep trying to kick the can down the road and extend the party, but the truth is that debt is a very cruel master and at some point it inevitably catches up with you.  And when it catches up with you, the results can be absolutely devastating. Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal all tried to just slow down the rate at which their government debts were increasing, and look at what happened to their economies. I have always said that the next wave of the economic collapse would start in Europe and that is exactly what is happening.  So keep watching EuropeWhat is happening to them will eventually happen to us.

 

Which Is More American - War, Or Peace?It seems an obvious question but from the top down, based on the great and good leaders of the United States of America, it appears from their State of the Union speeches that 'War' indeed trumps 'Peace'. Of course, whether this is a reflection of the ultimate in Keynesian policy dreams of manufacturing ammunition just to be thrown away in non-inflationary ways (or to drive energy demand) is still in discussion.

 

Guest Post: "What In The World Is A Bitcoin?"Earlier in the week we wrote about an Argentine car rental agency that had started accepting Bitcoins as a means to bypass local capital controls. We received a lot of questions about the article, the most common of which was "What in the world is a Bitcoin?" Lets start by looking at our current monetary system. In most countries, a small tiny banking elite exercises total control over that nations money supply. And were just supposed to trust them to be good guys. Yet central bankers around the world have conjured trillions of dollars out of thin air, debasing the moneys value. Its a concept any six-year old can understand. If money grew on trees, it wouldnt be worth very much. This is one of the key reasons why people buy gold. You cant just conjure gold out of thin air. It takes years of exploration and investment to pull it out of the ground. In the information age, though, we have an alternative. Bitcoin is digital currency. It doesnt actually exist in our physical world... only in computers...

 

Most Hedge Funds Underperforming The S&P 500 For Fifth Year In A Row - Full YTD PerformanceThere is one problem with relentlessly ramping markets (whether due to four years of liquidity injections by the Fed, or due to four years of liquidity injections by the Fed) - they make all those who by definition have to be hedged, seem stupid by comparison. In this case, this means that for the fifth year in a row, the vast majority of brand name hedge funds are once again underperforming the S&P, even though most of them have shifted to the highest net long exposure in history, while charging their increasingly more angry investors 2 and 20 for the privilege of underperforming the most micromanaged asset of all - the S&P500, and its unpaid portfolio manager, Ben Bernanke. And while there are three certain things in life: death, taxes and Paulson being one of the worst performers in the world (perhaps he is moving to Puerto Rico not to avoid paying taxes but to escape furious LPs), as he indeed is for the third year running what is most surprising is that through the middle of March, according to HSBC, every single brand name hedge funds is once again underperforming the S&P.

 

Howard Marks: "It Isn't Just A Windfall, It's A Warning Sign"Despite the all-knowing Alan Greenspan confirming there is no irrational exuberance currently, Oaktree Capital's Howard Marks is less convinced. Though he is not bearish, he lays out rather succinctly the current pros and cons for equities - based on the various 'valuation' arguments, discusses the folly of the equity risk premia, and highlights the dangers of extrapolation and what history can teach us... "appreciation at a rate in excess of the cash flow growth accelerates into the present some appreciation that otherwise might have happened in the future... it isn't just a windfall but also a warning sign."

 

Market 'Plunges' By 0.17%, Worst Drop In Three WeeksThe streak is dead - long live the streak - for the first losing Friday of the year. A sad day among the media though Maria B did proclaim "today was a victory even though we were down," so we can rest assured that all is well. While equities ending off their highs, the week was still positive 1-2% - especially for the Trannies - but rather oddly (well not really anymore) Treasuries are going out at the low yields of the week - down 7bps. The USD lost 0.7% with AUD and GBP strength weighing most and a decent surge higher in JPY today's day session. Oil prices jumped 1.7% on the week back over $93.50 (as RBOB and retail prices start to rise once again). Gold and Silver diverged with the former up 0.8% and the latter -0.7%. Volume today was very heavy (and it was a down day) but the quad-witching is to blame as opening an closing trading was huge as S&P 500 futures tagged new highs overnight but couldn't escape the lows of VWAP at the close. So far 2013 has been a perfect replay of 2012 - Is this it?

Because It Worked So Well For Stalin...Five-year plans in the Land of the Free? Apparently its not that far off from reality. Yesterday Senator Tom Harkin introduced S. 544, a bill to require the President to develop a comprehensive national manufacturing strategy. In effect, Senator Harkin wants the President to centrally plan the economy. Never mind that the President has zero experience in business or manufacturing. But hey, this worked out so well for Stalinist Russia, its no wonder Mr. Harkin wants to copy that model... The trend is clear. Every single day the political elite gives us even more evidence that theyre working overtime to destroy the economy and what few remaining civil liberties still exist.

 

Government Transparency Hits Record LowSurprise, surprise... the 'most transparent administration ever' is, well, the least transparent.  Not that any of you are shocked by this revelation, but a new report by the Associated Press demonstrates just how secret our government and intelligence agencies have become.  Not only did they claim national security over and over like a bunch of drunk parrots, they also claimed the need to protect internal deliberations.  Specifically, the number of times the government withheld or censored reports in 2012 was 479,000 times, up 22% from 2011.  The CIA denied 60% of requests, up from 49% in 2011. "In some ways, the Obama administration is actually even more aggressive on secrecy than the Bush administration."

 

UBS: The Great Rotation Is Much Ado About NothingThe concept of the Great Rotation continues to garner significant investor attention. From a flow perspective, UBS'  analysis across various asset classes infers there is scant evidence of a large rotation out of corporate credit or fixed income in general. They make a few simple observations. First, that the thesis of a great rotation out of Treasury securities into corporate equities is a fallacy - the Federal Reserve and global central banks are the dominant holders of Treasuries; if they decide to sell, the money will not directly flow into equities. Second, the thesis of a great rotation out of corporate credit into equities is complicated by three main cross-currents which suggests, correctly, to them that the Great Rotation debate is much ado about nothing.

 

Marc Faber Rationalizes The Irrational And Fears China's "Colossal Credit Bubble"Though infamous for his doom and gloom more than boom, Marc Faber explains in this brief CNBC clip how the herd-like behavior in stocks and real estate is actually not totally irrational as it is merely a reaction to the central banks forcing people not to hold cash and instead but "gold watches and Ferraris." His point is that if (and when) interest rates are ever normalized, everything changes (and not in a good way) as valuations become severely stretched on all these inflated assets. While the world tells us that bonds are unattractive and stocks are attractive, Faber rhetorically asks, "who knows, maybe the bonds are telling us something about the future return on equities." He warns of paying too much attention to government headline statistics, "what is published does not necessarily reflect the reality," But, just as we have warned, China is his biggest fear for knocking the world' exuberance: "Whether they [Chinese government] can ensure continuous growth will depend on reforms and how to deflate the colossal credit bubble we have in China. This is going to be a huge problem because we have so much underground credit, questionable loans outstanding and questionable investments."

 

Japan: Front-Runner Of Outright MonetizationDemocratic governments in low-growth economies sometimes rely on their central banks to support fiscal policy so as to avoid asking voters to share more of the burden. BNP Paribas' Ryutaro Kono notes that it is the pathology of modern democracies to foist our bills onto future generations and one could argue that the prolongation of our zero-rate regimes and quantitative easing are facilitating this. When this societal weakness is combined with todays financialized economies, we get a pronounced inclination toward monetization, which could lead to very serious problems. While Governor Shirakawa has described the BoJ as the frontrunner in venturing into unknown territory with policies like zero rates and quantitative easing, Kono warns that Japan could also become the frontrunner of outright monetization. This could intensify the dilemma of having to choose between price stability or financial-system stability when inflation actually starts to pick up.

 

When A JPM "Hedge" Is Anything But A Hedge - In JPM's Own WordsWhile JPMorgan's arrogance and complete ignorance (intentional or not) of both risk limits and regulatory expectations is now grossly obvious, the fact remains that a lie is a lie and given the following, how can anyone ever trust anything that anyone from this 'fortress-like' balance sheet ever says again? To wit, again and again and again, the public and the regulators were told this was a long-term 'hedge' for a bank that is a natural net 'lender' and therefore exposed to deterioration in credit markets over the long-term. However, as JPMorgan's own data and words show, the SCP 'hedge' in fact lost money in all spread-widening scenarios - exactly when it should be making money to cover 'offsetting' losses in the bank's lending book. In fact, it appears, that this was simply another low 'risk-weighted' way to get around regulatory capital rules and be 'long' the market - in the first three months of 2012, the CIO tripled the size of the SCP book, taking it from $51 billion to $157 billion, in a buying spree that was not motivated by decision-making on a very long-term basis.

 

What Really Happened To JP Morgan In The Market - A Simple ExampleOn the day of the unexpected JPM conference call in May of 2012, during which the initial extent of the London Whale fiasco was revealed, Zero Hedge presented a full, visual breakdown of everything that, we thought, had happened at the CIO, without any corroborating evidence. In hindsight, our assumptions and conclusions were 100% correct. But for anyone still confused and curious how less than a year ago the most powerful bank in the world put itself at the mercy of a few hedge funds, here is the simple one page summary.

 

The Complete History Of JPMorgan's "Monstrous" Derivative Risks And Abuses - The Full Senate ReportCurious what according to Jamie Dimon is just a "tempest in a teapot", or, alternatively, why Mr. Dimon is richer than pretty much all of you, here is the full 307 page report that explains everything, including all the events that transpired at the JPM CIO office, all the trades that led up to the "monstrous" Whale portfolio, leading to an epic prop trade failure, coupled with countless lies and misrepresentations to regulators, to investors, to the public, and to politicians, many of which under oath. Oh yes, free Jamie Dimon!

 

"Too Big To Regulate" JP Morgan "Lied" And "Deceived" Regulators, Investors And Public, Senate FindsMoments ago, ahead of tomorrow's 9:30 am Senate hearing on JP Morgan's 2012 attempt to corner the IG9 market through its London-based CIO office using depositor cash which as everyone now knows went horribly wrong, titled "JPMorgan Chase Whale Trades: A Case History of Derivatives Risks and Abuses, the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations has released its comprehensive 300 pages review of the London Whale fiasco. The report, in a nutshell, finds that both Jamie Dimon and JP Morgan lied and misled investors, regulators and Congress, that it forced its traders to hide growing losses, that it hid trades banned by the Volcker rule (just as we first said in April 2012 in "Why JPM's "Chief Investment Office" Is The World's Largest Prop Trading Desk: Fact And Fiction") and that JP Morgan may, by extension, be "too big to manage" or "too big to regulate" as Carl "Shitty Deal" Levin summarized.

 

Fed Gives 14 Of 18 Banks Green Light To Pay Shareholders; Goldman, JPM Get Special Treatment

 

10-In-A-Row For Dow As VIX Plunges To New Cycle LowIf it's a day of the week ending in 'y' then sure enough the Dow is green - 10 days in a row - best run since Nov 1996. The cash S&P's all-time high remains a day or two away at 1576.1 but today's late-day ubiquitous idiocy (first via VIX and then via HYG) took it within a point of the all-time closing high of 1565.15. Volume - take a guess! Trannies outperformed as 4 different stocks were short-squeezed this time to drive half the index's performance (CNW, R, KSU, and UNP). VIX daggered lower to new cycle lows ending at 11.05% at its lows. Away from that tom-foolery, stocks were 'supported' by USD weakness as GBP ramped higher on pre-budget excitement and EUR just because why not; Treasury yields ended the day near the lows of the week - entirely in keeping with the highs of the week in stocks... USD weakness helped WTI rise on the day - now best performer on the week among the commodities with Silver lagging on the week (while gold limps higher). Just another day in dystopia... ahead of the CCAR Part 2.

 

The Chart That Draghi Should Be Worried AboutEurope is fixed from what we are told (though even Herr Schaeuble mutters under his breath that the crisis is not quite over). Given the increasingly tight coupling between European financials and their domestic sovereign credit - thanks to OMT promises and LTRO funding - one could be forgiven for thinking that the most important thing to watch in Europe is the financials. Indeed, year-to-date, European financial stocks have surged over 7% (driven mostly by a global pump in the first few days of January) while at the same time, European senior financial credits (the other 'safer' end of the spectrum in terms of capital structure support from stocks) are 1bps wider on the year... we suggest Mr. Draghi quickly come up with another solution to save the banks (cough Commerzbank cough) before stock markets catch on.

 

High Yield Shorts As Confident As In October 2007While the supposed common-knowledge is that rising short-interest is where to look for epic squeezes (and indeed it appears to the case in individual stocks); in ETF-land, it tends to be the opposite (especially when the underlying of the ETF is relatively illiquid). Absolute short interest in the high-yield bond ETF HYG is at a record - surging to over 23mm shares - heralded by many as evidence that HY can squeeze higher. However, given the incredible rise in shares outstanding in HYG (as flows drove creation until around six months ago) the more reliable indication is the short-interest-ratio. The SI ratio is back at the same levels it was at the highs of the Oct 2007 period - we humbly suggest that this (as was clear in 2007) is anything but contrarian as professional bond managers using ETF liquidity to hedge their over-stuffed and over-flowing illiquid HY bond portfolios. With HY 'yields' at record lows, HY spreads near record lows (and crossover having only been tighter during 1946-65 repression), leverage rising notably, and valuations extreme (only 22% of CCC credits priced with yields over 10%!!!) is it any wonder that the professionals are as confidently hedged as they were as the credit crisis exploded and Lehman struck.

 

10 Examples Of The Clueless Denial About The 'Real' EconomyThey didn't see it coming last time either.  Back in 2007, President Bush, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and just about every prominent voice in the financial world were all predicting that we would experience tremendous economic prosperity well into the future.  In fact, as late as January 2008 Bernanke boldly declared that "the Federal Reserve is not currently forecasting a recession."  At the time, only the "doom and gloomers" were warning that everything was about to fall apart.  And of course we all know what happened.  But just a few short years later, history seems to be repeating itself. All of our "leaders" swear that everything is going to be okay.  You can believe them if you want, but denial is not just a river in Egypt, and another crash is inevitably coming.

 

Initial Claims Lower Than Expected At 332K, PPI In Line With ExpectationsThe grind lower in initial jobless claims continues, which from an upwardly revised 342k (was 340K) last week, declined to 332K in the most recent week ended March 9, on expectations of an increase to 350K. This was the third consecutive beat in a row and the lowest total print since January, which in turn takes it all the way back to January 2008. Continuing claims were also better than expected, dropping from an upwardly-revised 3113K, to 3024K, on expectations of a 3090K print. According to the BLS, unlike the last time we had an abnormally low print, no states were estimated this time around.

 

RIP Rotation: Two Weeks Of US Equity Fund OutflowsIf it appears that there has been a period of perplexing quiet in the financial comedy TV's hammering on the topic of the great rotation, it is because that is indeed the case. The reason? As per ICI, following the start of year inflow surge into domestic equity mutual funds, we have experienced a steady trickle lower in inflows, and then, as noted last week, have had not one but two consecutive outflows, confirming that the pattern from 2011 is fully set. Finally, for those curious where the surge in early 2013 inflows came from, we suggest rereading our post from December on "A Record $220 Billion "Deposit" Injection To Kick Start To The 2013 Market." In summary: there has been zero, zilch, none "great rotation" out of bonds into stocks, especially since bond funds have seen far greater inflows in 2013 compared to stocks, and the only money "rotating" has been the parked deposits in year end 2012 ahead of the Fiscal Cliff, being reallocated back into equities (of which there is now no more), and some modest money market fund moves, which also have now tapered out.

 

European Employment Drops To 2006 LevelsIf anyone is confused why European stocks just hit their highest levels in nearly 5 years (if not all time highs - there America with its 48 million foodstamp recipients has it beat), the chart below should provide some lack of color. According to Eurostat, in Q4 the number of persons employed in Europe compared to Q4 declined by 0.3% in the Euroarea, and 0.2% in the Eu27. The decline was -0.8% and -0.4% for the EA17 and EU27 compared to a year ago. Of course, if the Fed and ECB keeps pushing stocks higher, monetary illogic dictates that eventually this number will rise because somehow having more diluted claims on money floating around is good for jobs. Just not yet.

Cutting Corporate Welfare Queens Off from the Dole Would be the Best Way to Cut the Debt Posted by : George Washington Post date: 03/13/2013 - The Biggest Welfare Queens of All ... ‘In previous installments, we’ve noted that we could more than offset the need for the “sequestration” budget cuts by doing any one or combination of the following: 1) Ending massive subsidies to the giant banks  2) Reducing fraud and waste  3) Ending the failed drug war  4) Ending subsidies to the nuclear industry  5) Stopping the counter-productive quantitative easing by the Fed  Here’s another way to offset the need for budget cuts: cut off the welfare queens.

Guess Which Country The IMF Forecasts Will Grow The Most In 2016The IMF - known for its independence, thoroughness, and Keynesian multiplier fiascoes - is the go-to institution to back any bullish-scenario because one can always rely on any dip in data or markets to hockey-stick back to textbook trend. With that background, we thought it fascinating to see, as Bloomberg Brief notes, which European nation is expected to be the leading economy for the entire Eurozone in 2016. As a hint, in Q4 2012 its economy fell 5.7% YoY, and the nation's overall economy has shrunk 20% since the regression began in 2008. As a final hint, the nation's Finance Minister on Monday told The Guardian the nation was over the worst. We can only hope the 60%-plus of youth that remain unemployed are buoyed by these rosy projections.

 

UK Banruptcy Tzar On Verge Of BankruptcyDespite around $135 million in bailouts, the UK government's Insolvency Service disputes its own insolvency. The FT reports that one British MP summed it up - "it is fair to say that if this was a company it would be in deep trouble." The group, which polices bankrupt companies, liquidates failed businesses and disqualifies unfit directors, would be bankrupt were it not for the government's cash injection. Dependent on fees and recoveries from bankrupt companies, the agency over-estimated its ability to recover assets from collapsed businesses. It dismisses the insolvency claims against itself however, noting the service is "living within its means" and expects to be deficit-free by 2015 (though it is unclear how unless they expect recoveries to rise dramatically or bankruptcies to increase significantly) as it is forced to provide services even when there is no prospect of recovering fees from bankrupt people or companies. Their rate of prosecution has dropped from 40% to 21% and even the creditor community has lost faith arguing that the agency's model was "unreliable in the current economic climate" and required urgent reform.

 

Guest Post: What Will Become Of Chavez's Gold Hoard?In August 2011, while undergoing cancer treatments that ultimately failed him, Venezuelas President Hugo Chávez began withdrawing 160 tons of gold from U.S., European and Canadian banks. Its coming to the place it never should have left. ... The vaults of the central bank of Venezuela, not the bank of London or the bank of the United States. Its our gold, he said on national television as crowds cheered armored trucks carrying an initial bullion shipment to the central bank. The Caracas hoard would today be valued at around $9 billion, were it not for the fact that Venezuela has been selling it about $550 million worth in the first eight months of 2012, according to the IMF. Did further sales follow over the past six months, with proceeds partly paying for the public largesse that helped fuel Chávezs victorious up-from-the-sickbed presidential run? Thus, there is something less than $8.5 billion in untraceable gold bullion stashed in an extremely politicized city thats simmering with grudges and dreams. Physical gold is modestly short of priceless to a criminal. What mala gente or dissident generals wouldnt want some of Chávezs rich legacy?

Japanese Welfare Recipients Hit All-Time HighOver the weekend we learned that the most indebted nation in the world (net of unfunded liabilities), that would be the US, just hit an all time high in foodstamp recipients, which when added to record disability recipients, and various other programs providing for free benefits and entitlements, means that just as the US hit a record Dow Jones (and total Federal debt) print, it at least had a record amount of welfare recipients to show for it. In this context it is probably to be expected then, that that other hyperdebtflationary Keynesian basket case, Japan, just reported that the number of people receiving entitlement benefits just hit an all time high as well. Because the one thing insolvent misery certainly loves is company. Preferably globalized company, just so when the global statist syndicate needs to threaten a record number of people with pulling their welfare privileges should it not get its now periodic taxpayer-funded bailout every several years, it gets a very enthusiastic and prompt global response.

 

QBAMCO On The Fed's ExitThe markets have begun to wonder whether the Fed (and other central banks) will ever be able to exit from its Quantitative Easing policy. We believe there is only one reasonable exit the Fed can take. Rather than sell its portfolio of bonds or allow them to mature naturally, we believe the Feds only practical exit will be to increase the size of all other balance sheets in relation to its own. This exit will be part of a larger three-part strategy for resetting the over-leveraged global economy, already underway...

 

Latest Greek Aid Tranche To Be Delayed After Troika Talks Break DownHere we go again. As we reported yesterday, Greece was due to present to the Troika "how to cut a massive 150,000 public sector jobs: a move which will result in an immediate surge in public unrest, and an exponential jump in strike activity.... Greece is locked in talks with international creditors in Athens about shrinking the government workforce by enough to keep bailout payments flowing. Identifying redundant positions and putting in place a system that will lead to mandatory exits for about 150,000 civil servants by 2015 is a so-called milestone that will determine whether the country gets a 2.8 billion-euro ($3.6 billion) aid installment due this month. More than a week of talks on that has so far failed to clinch an agreement." Fast forward to today when we learn that any hopes a last minute solution would materialize, allowing the monetary spice to flow and the 2.4 billion loan to be paid, were just dashed following a breakdown in talks between Greece and the Troika. Deja vu all over again.

 

Guest Post: Argentines Escaping Capital Controls With BitcoinsPresident Cristina Fernandez has a stranglehold over what's left of the Argentine economy. Inflation is rampant, corruption is incorrigible, and freedom is waning. Price controls, media controls... they're all part of the same tired playbook that morally bankrupt politicians in financially bankrupt countries have routinely fallen back on for centuries. Fernandez's most insidious move has been to FORCE Argentines to hold the rapidly depreciating Argentine peso. She has restricted her people from changing pesos into other currencies, including gold, as well as created obstacles to move funds abroad. Many Argentines have reached their breaking points and are doing something about it - no more evidenced than by a local tour operator and rental car agency there has started accepting Bitcoins.

 

CFTC Investigating London Gold, Silver Price Fixing For ManipulationYears after the CFTC, under the leadership of Goldman's Gary Gensler, theatrically agreed to investigate whether the price of precious metals was manipulated during trading - whether systematically or ad hoc - only to let that inquiry fizzle and drop the whole idea proclaiming there is manipulation, the commodity futures regulators are once again taking a look at shady activities originating at London. Or rather, it is "discussing internally" whether the daily London gold and silver price fixing is open to manipulation.

 

Guest Post: What Happened To The Uproar Over Energy Speculators?Gasoline prices in the U.S. Midwest have pulled back from the seasonal highs reported in February. Motor group AAA reported Monday that U.S. commuters paid, on average, $3.69 for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline, just over 1 percent less than they paid last week. For some markets, that's the first time gasoline prices have declined this year. A series of refinery issues, coupled with higher oil prices, left some motorists in February paying the highest they've ever paid seasonally for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline. By the end of February, some drivers in the Midwest were paying nearly $4 per gallon on average, sparking congressional debate over the impact of speculation in the energy market. Given concerns over costs associated with healthcare, insurance and other issues not related directly to energy, it's curious why there aren't hearings when prices begin to fall.

 

Dow Up Nine-In-A-Row On Lowest Volume Day Of YearThe Dow managed its ninth green close in a row - its best in 16 years - and obviously closed at all-time new highs. The Trannies were the real winner though as they are now up over 4% in March (considerably outperforming the rest of the major indices), and up 29% since mid-November (a 120% annualized return) with no more than a 2.5% retracement in that period. Four stocks dominated TRAN today JB Hunt, Alaska Air, CH Robinson, and Ryder accounting for half the index's gains. Volume was its lowest of the year (ex President's Day). Average trade size was low. On the week, financials and energy are the underperformers. Treasury yields spiked on retail sales, dropped on the auction and go out very modestly higher on the day but not confirming the equity exuberance again. FX markets also pointed to a less sanguine view of the world as the USD rallied and EURJPY (carry) provided little support. VIX held up for most of the day but collapsed into the close back under 12%. Commodities gave back earlier (weaker USD) gains to close at the lows of the day.

 

Santelli's Primer On The 'Miracle' Of Earnings ExpectationsOur last discussion of the miracle of earnings expectations focused on the bottom-up hockey-stick that it seems the consensus believes is ahead (always out there in the future). Today's 'factual' and 'empirical' whiteboard lecture on the 'miracle' comes courtesy of CNBC's Rick Santelli, who appears as frustrated at his co-correspondents permabullishness (see Liesman's flip-flopping views on retail sales today) as the implicit disconnect between the market and fundamentals. To wit, the fact that expectations for GDP growth and earnings are so divergent. With earnings growth expected to be +14.7% this year and nominal GDP around +3-4%, Santelli asks his guest where nominal GDP 'normally' is for such strong earnings expectations - the answer 7.6% nominal GDP growth... reality discussion ensues...

 

Argentina's Jorge Mario Bergoglio Elected As Pope FrancisA surprising pick for Pope, Argentina's 76 year old Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who was not among the front-runners, is now the Pope of the Catholic Church. His chosen name is Pope Francis. He is the first non-European pope since 741.

 

Major US CEOs' Outlook On Rising Jobs, CapEx Worst Since Early 2010Despite the plethora of propagandist panderings, the reality of the Business Roundtable (BRT - an association of chief executive officers of leading U.S. companies) findings are far less enthralling than the headlines might suggest. In fact, despite the protestation that their economic outlook ticked up - which as the chart below shows so evidently - is merely a reversion to the lows of 2011; the sad 'fact' is that expectations for higher Sales, CapEx, and Employment are as bad as they have been since early 2010. CapEx, the much-vaunted miracle driver of revenues this year, is below Q4 2009 levels of expectation. Even the BRT itself offers up the words 'moderate' when describing the changes and yet the mainstream media pounce on an uptick like cardinals to the new Pope. It appears that we will have to wait another quarter to see what the CEOs of the nations largest companies are really doing as their stocks soar to record highs.

Foodstamp Recipients Hit Record, Alongside Record Dow Jones And Record Debt: 20% Of Eligible Americans On EBT Record Dow Jones, record US debt ($16,701,846,937,879.74), and now, once more, record number of Americans on foodstamps. According to the USDA, an all time high of 47,791,966 Americans closed 2012 in possession of the highly desired Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, managed by who else but JPMorgan. And with a civilian non-institutional population of 244.4 million in December, this means that a record 19.56% of eligible Americans are on Foodstamps.

 

As a matter of candor, the following will be among my posts this day:

Private Prisons: The More Americans They Put Behind Bars The More Money They Make

http://albertpeia.com/imprisonamerica.htm

 

‘How would you describe an industry that wants to put more Americans in prison and keep them there longer so that it can make more money? { How ‘bout putting them, ie., wall street frauds, mobsters, ie., trumps et als,  among many others in prison because they belong there! } In America today, approximately 130,000 people are locked up in private prisons that are being run by for-profit companies, and that number is growing very rapidly.  Overall, the U.S. has approximately 25 percent of the entire global prison population even though it only has 5 percent of the total global population.  The United States has the highest incarceration rate on the entire globe by far, and no nation in the history of the world has ever locked up more of its own citizens than we have.  Are we really such a cesspool of filth and decay that we need to lock up so many of our own people? { Short answer, YES! }  Or are there some other factors at work? { That too! } Could part of the problem be that we have allowed companies to lock up men and women in cages for profit?  The two largest private prison companies combined to bring in close to $3,000,000,000 in revenue in 2010, and the largest private prison companies have spent tens of millions of dollars on lobbying and campaign contributions over the past decade.  Putting Americans behind bars has become very big business, and those companies have been given a perverse incentive to push for even more Americans to be locked up.  It is a system that is absolutely teeming with corruption, and it is going to get a lot worse unless someone does something about it { There is no question but that america is pervasively corrupt, and the vast majority inherently criminal! Eric Holder: Some Banks Are So Large That It Is Difficult For Us To Prosecute Them Bill Gross Gets It  { Gets what? Why is this surprising?

Indeed, from my direct experience, the actions/inaction of the feds are geared toward making one reliant/dependent upon them (ie., food stamps, faux disability, unemployment comp extensions, ‘protection’ from rampant, blatant crime or not,  etc., despite america’s defacto bankruptcy and the unaffordability of same), despite their unequivocal incompetence and venality. In fact, stepping back, I have seen first hand those siding with/benefiting from (and the encouraging of more crime), ie., RICO defendants et als, actually rewarded by the pervasively corrupt/defacto bankrupt american system (ie., trumps, alito, fed slugees, etc., essentially a combination of and tantamount to what is essentially hush money, bribes, etc.).

The Last Laugh: Illinois Pension System Charged For Not Disclosing "Structural Underfunding"

 

Guest Post: In Just The Last Week In The Land Of The Free...

In just a week's time, the political elite in the Land of the Free gave us bills which:

ensure the government cannot assassinate its own citizens with drones

impose price controls with insurance premiums

award the government with more power to initiate biosurveillance operations

create a quota system in the labor market

It really makes me wonder... how much more will it take for people to notice how rapidly they're losing freedom, or how destructive the political leadership is?

Are Stocks Cheap?  Each and every day, we are bombarded by a never-ending series of asset-gatherers whose sole aim in life is to convince investors to put more money to work. Whether it is because 'we are climbing a wall of worry', whether 'long-term' equity investors always do well, whether the 'cash on the sidelines' is coming out (note - remember there is a seller for every buyer and a buyer for every seller); the most frequently proposed reason for buying stocks is 'because they are cheap'. No matter where they are trading - high or low - they are cheap. Well, in an attempt to suggest otherwise - or at least provide fact rather than accepted wisdom, the following two charts from Morgan Stanley's Adam Parker provide the reality that, in fact, stocks are not cheap - and given where rates are, they are in fact expensive. Empirical fact not fiction.

Kyle Bass Warns "The 'AIG' Of The World Is Back"Kyle Bass, addressing Chicago Booth's Initiative on Global Markets last week, clarified his thesis on Japan in great detail, but it was the Q&A that has roused great concern. "The AIG of the world is back - I have 27 year old kids selling me one-year jump risk on Japan for less than 1bp - $5bn at a time... and it is happening in size." As he explains, the regulatory capital hit for the bank is zero (hence as great a return on capital as one can imagine) and "if the bell tolls at the end of the year, the 27-year-old kid gets a bonus... and if he blows the bank to smithereens, ugh, he got a paycheck all year." Critically, the bank that he bought the 'cheap options' from recently called to ask if he would close the position - "that happened to me before," he warns, "in 2007 right before mortgages cracked." His single best investment idea for the next ten years is, "Sell JPY, Buy Gold, and go to sleep," as he warns of the current situation in markets, "we are right back there! The brevity of financial memory is about two years."

 

Guest Post: Chinas Military Development, Beyond the NumbersGiven Chinas rapid rise in all aspects of national power, as well as its reluctance to release specific details about many important aspects of its military spending, its annual budget announcement rightly attracts worldwide attention. Last week, China revealed its projected 2013 official defense budget: 720.2 billion yuan (roughly $US114 billion), a figure that continues a trend of nominal double-digit spending since 1989 (the lone exception: 2010). Although Chinas limited transparency about specific defense budget line items matters, it shouldnt distract observers from seeing the bigger picture concerning Chinas military development: The Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) increasingly has the resources, capabilities, and confidence to attempt to assert Chinas interests on its contested periphery, particularly in the Near Seas (Yellow, East, and South China Seas). This development has the potential to seriously challenge the interests of the U.S., its allies, and other partners in the region, as well as access to and security of a vital portion of the global commonswaters and airspace that all nations rely on for prosperity, yet which none own. Thats why the PLAs development matters so much to a Washington located halfway around the world.

 

Bitcoin 'Glitch' Sparks 23% Flash CrashWhile we are used to seeing insta-crashes in our highly-regulated and trustworthy equity markets, the unregulated digital world of Bitcoins suffered another flash-crash last night. According to Ars Technica, the 23% plungefest in the value of the digital currency (the second in a week) was due not to Waddel & Reed, not HFT algos, but 'forking' Cryptographic algos gone wild agreeing on different (legacy) keys as being correct - akin to finding Tungsten in your Gold bars (and hence the drop in the value). This latest glitch is different from the problem that caused Bitcoin prices to briefly crash to zero in June of 2011. In that case, the sell-off was caused by the compromise of the exchange itself, whereas this time the glitch occurred in the core Bitcoin software. Obviously, the incident will be another important test of the cryptocurrency's decentralized governance structure - to say nothing of its reputation among the less technically-capable owners and miners (even though BTC rapidly recovered almost all its losses).

 

Hot And Cold Weather Caused Dick's Revenue ShrinkageWater is wet. Sky is blue. Spring follows Winter. All things we hold as true and yet, it appears the last of these has managed to foil the best laid plans of Dick's Sporting Goods amid their dismal earnings call. The company at once blamed 'warmer weather' than expected for shrinkage in its outerwear sales and because "it didn't look like Winter was going to come," the firm then blamed excessively cold weather and its lack of outerwear inventory to meet those needs. Just as the firm said, "we're not as smart as we look," as it appears that unless we get Goldilocks perfection year-round, retail sales are all but a pure guess on meteorological mysticism.

 

When HFT Steals Liquidity - Exploratory Trading In The eMiniOn November 12, 2012,  Adam D. Clark-Joseph published Exploratory Trading, which analyzes CFTC audit level trading data in the eMini S&P 500 futures market. This is a special, "regulators-only" data-set that contains all orders and trades, and each order and trade has a trader identifier. What this paper exposes is astounding. Nanex notes that the top HFTs probe the market by aggressively pinging order books and then analyzing market reaction: a practice that allows them to get a private glimpse of the "true" supply and demand at the expense of everyone else. Once the market direction is ascertained, these HFT aggressively remove liquidity, causing an immediate market move. Since the eMini is heavily arbitraged by SPY (which in turn is arbitraged by its many components and options), these sudden moves in the eMini will set off waves of overwhelming message traffic as traders and algos react and reprice thousands of instruments in milliseconds.

 

Guest Post: Boeing Declares War on Privacy in Washington StateWashington state has led the way in many respects when it comes to the drone issue, something we highlighted recently in my article: Just Say NO: Seattle Residents Kill the Citys Drone Program.  Its not just Seattle though, there is a bi-partisan bill in the Washington state legislature, H.B. 1771, which limits drone use within the entire state.  The bill has already passed its House Committee hearing and, as expected, the states corporate overlords have started to fight back.  Specifically, Boeing.

 

With Twinkies Set To Return, Ebay "Collectible" Buyers Get Harsh Lesson In US Bankruptcy LawRemember when greed-stricken Capitalist eBay'ers bid a single-Twinkie up to $8000.00? It appears our rather prescient note that they may regret not comprehending the US bankruptcy process was spot on as NBC News reports that the new owners of the Hostess Brand "look forward to having America's favorite snacks back on the shelf by this summer." The buying group, led by private equity shop Apollo Global, got news of their $410 million winning bid late last night. We suspect the re-establishment of these brands on store-shelves may cut the price a little from $8000 (or perhaps the all-knowing 'market' price signals that demand is there at that price?) - the question is - does eBay have a CFTC-equivalent that the winning Twinkie bidder can cry fat-finger to? Meanwhile, we wonder how long will it be before CNBC gets a visit from the friendly local bakers' union once again?

 

Which 'Patriotic' US Companies 'Invested' The Most Cash Overseas Last Year?A Wall Street Journal analysis of 60 big U.S. companies found that, together, they parked a total of $166 billion offshore last year. That shielded more than 40% of their annual profits from U.S. taxes, though it left the money off-limits for paying dividends, buying back shares or making investments in the U.S. The 60 companies were chosen for the analysis because each of them had held at least $5 billion offshore in 2011. Within the group of 60 companies, WSJ found 10 that parked more earnings offshore last year than they generated for their bottom lines. The trend was most pronounced among the 26 technology and health-care companies. Not all of the earnings parked offshore are in cash. Some of the money is used to build plants and buy equipment overseas. Why? Apple said it held $40.4 billion in untaxed earnings outside the U.S. and estimated that it would owe $13.8 billion in tax if it brought that money back to the U.S. That is a 34% tax rate. Since foreign income taxes are creditable on U.S. taxes, that means Apple has paid less than 5% tax on those earnings to date.

 

Swirlogram Shows Slowdown Is HereDespite the hopes and greed of the marginal greater fool algo lifting equity markets to highs, Goldman's business cycle 'swirlogram' has dropped notably into the 'Slowdown' phase after a brief 6-month trip into 'Expansion'. China growth risks remain the largest weight on investors' angst (Chinese IP growth and retail sales for the January/February period were sequentially weaker, and overall disappointing) as Euro and US risks have 'apparently' fallen in the last week or two.

 

Guest Post: Let's Stop Fooling Ourselves: Americans Can't Afford the FutureThe American spirit is rooted in the belief of a better tomorrow. Its success has been due to generations of men and women who toiled, through both hardship and boom times, to make that dream a reality. But at some point over the past several decades, that hope for a better tomorrow became an expectation. Or perhaps a perceived entitlement is more accurate. It became assumed that the future would be more prosperous than today, irrespective of the actual steps being taken in the here and now. And for a prolonged time characterized by plentiful and cheap energy, accelerating globalization, technical innovation, and the financialization of the economy it seemed like this assumption was a certain bet. But these wonderful tailwinds that America has been enjoying for so many decades are sputtering out. The forces of resource scarcity, debt saturation, price inflation, and physical limits will impact our way of life dramatically more going forward than living generations have experienced to date. And Americans, who had the luxury of abandoning savings and sacrifice for consumerism and credit financing, are on a collision course with that reality.

"Psychologically, We Closed Positive" - 8th All-Time High Dow Up-Day In A RowBecause all that matters is the Dow, as one intellectual giant noted - whether we close red or green "psychologically, we closed positive." Unfortunately, AAPL closed at its lows, Nasdaq -11 points, S&P 500 futures in the red perfectly balanced at their VWAP (which saw nothing but selling all day) for the fifth lowest volume day of the year (following yesterday's lowest volume day). The S&P stayed in its uptrend channel as the USD-Stocks correlation algos gave up today - as did the Treasury-Stocks algos. 10Y closed -3bps on the week (-6bps today). HY credit closed at its lows, VIX rose 0.75 vols today at 12.3% - leading stocks south, and while commodities pulled back off early spike highs, they are all in the green on the week (with gold just shy of $1600 intraday). While it is of little import as the sixth consecutive all-time Dow highs is all that counts for the headlines this evening, we would note that we haven't seen such weakness in AAPL and selling pressure at VWAP in S&P 500 futures for a while (and that was with a 19/30, $650 to the sell side MOC in the DJIA).

 

BHP's CEO On The Disconnect Between Reality And Markets"...we've had volatile times and I think while the world has on balance, poured a lot more into equities; the reality is that the underlying situation in the world has probably not changed as much as the equity markets reflect."Marius J.

The 14 Steps From Credit Expansion To Speculative BustThe key point being made in The Global Endgame is that the entire global economy is in the final stages of the "winter" cycle of credit destruction and collapse of phantom collateral. The key dynamics here are debt saturation and diminishing returns: piling on more debt (i.e. borrowing more money) to stimulate spending only leads to fantastic excesses of speculation and mal-investment: $70,000 biopsies, $200 million fighter aircraft, $200,000 bachelor's degrees, McMansions in the middle of nowhere, and so on. The central banks are attempting to nullify the cycle of credit expansion and destruction by buying much of the sovereign debt being issued by profligate, hopelessly insolvent governments. Is pushing consequence forward the same as eliminating consequence? We will find out at some point in the near future.

 

Surge In Trading Leverage Triggers Bank Of America Contrarian Sell SignalLeverage, as measured by NYSE Margin Debt, rose a huge 31.6% year-on-year (YOY) and 10.2% month-over-month (MOM) to $364bn in January, compared to the July 2007 peak of $381bn. Net Free Credits at -$77.2mm (essentially cash balances in margin accounts) have plunged to levels (and at a rate) that BofAML believes generates a sell signal and typically result in market correction. The last time a (2-standard-deviation) sell signal like this was generated was on April 2010 and the S&P 500 subsequently corrected by 16% in two months. While the US equity market has not responded to at or near overbought or contrarian bearish sentiment levels very recently (remaining overbought for weeks) BofAML also notes a tactical sell signal was just triggered that is similar to those from September 14 and April 27, 2012 both preceded market pullbacks.

The Last Laugh: Illinois Pension System Charged For Not Disclosing "Structural Underfunding"

 

Guest Post: In Just The Last Week In The Land Of The Free...

In just a week's time, the political elite in the Land of the Free gave us bills which:

ensure the government cannot assassinate its own citizens with drones

impose price controls with insurance premiums

award the government with more power to initiate biosurveillance operations

create a quota system in the labor market

It really makes me wonder... how much more will it take for people to notice how rapidly they're losing freedom, or how destructive the political leadership is?

Are Stocks Cheap?  Each and every day, we are bombarded by a never-ending series of asset-gatherers whose sole aim in life is to convince investors to put more money to work. Whether it is because 'we are climbing a wall of worry', whether 'long-term' equity investors always do well, whether the 'cash on the sidelines' is coming out (note - remember there is a seller for every buyer and a buyer for every seller); the most frequently proposed reason for buying stocks is 'because they are cheap'. No matter where they are trading - high or low - they are cheap. Well, in an attempt to suggest otherwise - or at least provide fact rather than accepted wisdom, the following two charts from Morgan Stanley's Adam Parker provide the reality that, in fact, stocks are not cheap - and given where rates are, they are in fact expensive. Empirical fact not fiction.

The Last Laugh: Illinois Pension System Charged For Not Disclosing "Structural Underfunding"The topic of Illinois' various insolvent pension systems is not news to regular Zero Hedge readers. One needs but to recall our articles from mid/late 2010: "61% Underfunded Illinois Teachers Pension Fund Goes For Broke, Becomes Next AIG-In-Waiting By Selling Billions In CDS", "Illinois' Pension Fund Death Spiral Revisited: "10 Years Of Money Left" or "Illinois Teachers' Retirement System Enters The Death Spiral: AIG Wannabe's Go-For-Broke Strategy Fails As Pension Fund Begins Liquidations" in which we clearly explained how the state's teachers pension fund was systematically doing everything in its power to mask its massive underfunding, and the fact that it was rapidly running out of money. The retiremnet fund, in turn, took things very personally, prompting Dave Urbanek, Public Information Officer at the Teachers Retirement System of the State of Illinois (TRS), to write an impassioned response to Zero Hedge denying all allegations. Today, over two years after the above news, the SEC finally concluded their analysis of one part of the massively underfunded Illinois Pension system and found the Illinois failed to inform investors about the impact of problems with its pension funding schedule as the state offered and sold more than $2.2 billion worth of municipal bonds from 2005 to early 2009.

Bank Of Japan May Buy Derivatives Next Because having legal authority to buy corporate bonds, ETFs and REITs, in addition to everything else the Fed now buys, is apparently not enough to crush, mangle and suicide its currency, the BOJ is now considering adding yet another "asset" to its cocktail of eligible securities for purchase: those which Buffett once declared weapons of mass financial destruction - derivatives.

No Volume Ramp Is Back On ScheduleWhen we summarized the overnight session just before 7 am, we titled it appropriately enough, "No Melt Up (Yet) In Boring Overnight Trading." Little did we know, actually scratch that - we knew full well that moments later the ramp would make its now daily reappearance. Because if it weren't for the 7th straight day of no volume, no news levitation, someone, somewhere may have gotten the impression that the market is desperately manipulated and artificial, and that if it weren't for a constant ramp higher, confidence in authoritarian "markets" may disappear, and the retail investor may pull even more than was pulled last week, following a brief inflow in the market in early 2013.

Who Spends The Most Dollars Lobbying Washington, DC? Oil? Financials? Aerospace? When someone asks who the biggest sources of lobby dollars for DC's politicians-for-purchase are, these are the three usual suspects that come to mind. Some may, therefore, be surprised to learn according to the database kept by OpenSecrets between Pharmaceutical and health product industry, hospital and nursing homes, health professionals and health services, HMOs, or more broadly Pharma/Healthcare/HMO, the total lobby dollars spent between 1998 and 2012 was a staggering $5.3 billion, or nearly three times greater than the second most generous industry: insurance, and well above Oil and Gas at $1.4 billion, and Securities and Investment at $1.0 billion. Is it becoming clearer why the US government has few qualms about unsustainable taxpayer funded healthcare spending, especially when there are so many current benefits accruing to the politicians who see so many billions in benefits from passing lobby-friendly laws now (by which we mean generous taxpayer funding, the bulk of which benefits the healthcare industry's bottom line)? As for the costs: who cares - just dump them on future generations. It's not like anyone expects the $16.7 trillion in US debt to be ever repaid.

Guest Post: In Just The Last Week In The Land Of The Free...

In just a week's time, the political elite in the Land of the Free gave us bills which:

ensure the government cannot assassinate its own citizens with drones

impose price controls with insurance premiums

award the government with more power to initiate biosurveillance operations

create a quota system in the labor market

It really makes me wonder... how much more will it take for people to notice how rapidly they're losing freedom, or how destructive the political leadership is?

Are Stocks Cheap?  Each and every day, we are bombarded by a never-ending series of asset-gatherers whose sole aim in life is to convince investors to put more money to work. Whether it is because 'we are climbing a wall of worry', whether 'long-term' equity investors always do well, whether the 'cash on the sidelines' is coming out (note - remember there is a seller for every buyer and a buyer for every seller); the most frequently proposed reason for buying stocks is 'because they are cheap'. No matter where they are trading - high or low - they are cheap. Well, in an attempt to suggest otherwise - or at least provide fact rather than accepted wisdom, the following two charts from Morgan Stanley's Adam Parker provide the reality that, in fact, stocks are not cheap - and given where rates are, they are in fact expensive. Empirical fact not fiction.

What A Difference For Jobs $1.2 Trillion In Debt Makes The media's ecstatic read through of today's Nonfarm payroll beat can barely end: after all, a print of 236k on expectations of 165K, why that has to be great. Well, it is. Until one looks to the number from February 2012, which happens to be 271,000. And even the Keynesian will agree that February follows January, which in 2013 was a downward revised 119K. January 2012? 311,000. In other words, the first two months of 2012 saw a 582,000 increase in non-farm payrolls. In 2013: 355,000. But something else happened between February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2013... Oh yes, the US government issued some $1,198,397,883,967.30 in debt. Oh, and the Fed monetized about half of this amount, and virtually all of the Treasurys issued to the right of the ZIRP period (i.e., risky debt). To summarize: $1.2 trillion in debt buys the US.... 61% of the jobs created a year ago.

 

Santelli: "Still Want That Hammer-And-Sickle On The Flag?"Will we ever see 'reality' again? Judging by CNBC's Rick Santelli's one-sentence epic rant this morning of the centrally-planned farce that we are living through... Liesman: "Why would you normalize rates?" Santelli: "Are we really that far down the hole that normalizing rates after this tremendous number - the huge drop in the unemployment rate - that you guys still wanna have the hammer-and-sickle on the flag" the short answer, it appears, is 'No'. But perhaps it is Rick's seething anger in a second clip that exposes the reality of "the apologists" for the Fed and as he notes: "This whole thing is a Parlor Game and the country deserves better than Fed experimentation." Before you go home - watch these two clips (and listen)!

 

Barclays: "Equities Surge Masks Real Fragilities" The good news is that equity prices reached new highs in the US and UK this week, and have risen strongly worldwide this year. The bad news is that theres not much other good news to report. Whatever the underpinnings of the equity rally, a stronger global growth outlook appears an unlikely explanation. Financial conditions remain exceptionally loose across the major advanced economies. The strong equity price gains seen this year might be taken to indicate a surge in confidence about global economic prospects. However, all is far from well with the world economy, a fact brought home by the observation that real interest rates in the major advanced economies are negative out to 10 years. Rather than reflecting confidence, loose financial conditions are being generated artificially by central banks in an attempt to buoy sentiment and encourage spending. The monetary palliatives are having the desired financial effects, but signs of success in the real economy remain patchy, and the prevailing headwinds are strong.

 

Every "Record" Dow Jones Point Costs $200 Million In Federal Debt The past week brought us history: on Tuesday, GETCO and Citadel's HFT algos were used by the Primary Dealers and the Fed to send the Dow Jones to all time highs, subsequently pushing it to new all time highs every single day of the week, and higher on 8 of the past 9 days: a 5ish sigma event. But there is never such a thing as a free lunch. And here is the invoice: in the past 5 days alone, total Federal Debt rose from$16.640 trillion to $16.701 trillion as of moments ago: an increase of $61 billion in five days, amounting to $198,697,068 for every of the 307 Dow Jones Industrial Average points "gained" this week. Because remember: US debt is the asset that allows the Fed to engage in monetization and as a result, hand over trillions in fungible reserves to banks... mostly foreign banks.

 

One Word: "Brea(d)thless" Another Friday, another green close (now ten in a row) as Treasuries suffer their biggest weekly yield rise in a year. Another new-er-er all-time nominal high for the Dow but Nasdaq was the winner on the week (+2.7%) against a cluster of the rest at +2.4%. Volume was sub-par at best, trade-size low, and market breadth diverged bearishly but that didn't matter. Financials, Consumer Discretionary (and builders) were the sectoral winners up around 4%. Away from stocks, things are moving quite seriously: the USD is up for 5 weeks in a row - its biggest 5-week run in 9 months (and highest in 9 months); WTI crude outperformed in commodities (despite the USD strength) back up to 6-week highs; JPY had its worst (which is good apparently) week in 23 months losing 2.5% against the USD back to almost 4-year lows; Silver and Gold had their best (and only positive) week in 5 weeks. Credit markets (like TSYs) played catch up and snapped tighter on the week (even though HYG tended to underperform). VIX did drift lower (-0.5 vols to 12.5%) but remains well north of where stocks would expect. The much-vaunted late-day ramp came as usual and lifted all the indices to their opening (post-NFP spike) highs. As a gentle reminder, the Dow is up 613 points in 9 days - that is all.

 

Reality Check: The Dow Jones Industrial Average Vs. Bananas The Dow Jones Industrial Average, one of the key benchmarks of the US stock market, has soundly surpassed its all-time high. And most of the investing world is toasting their collective success and celebrating the recovery. Its a funny thing, really. Most investors only think in terms of nominal numbers, i.e. Dow 14,000+ is 40% higher than Dow 10,000 (back in November 2009). But few think in terms of real numbers... inflation-adjusted averages. Everyone knows that inflation exists. We can all look back on prices from the past and realize instantly how much more expensive things have become. Conversely, though, most people dont think about the stock market like this. The reality is, though, that when you adjust for inflation, the Dow is well below its highs from over a decade ago. We thought wed put this into a bit of perspective...

Futures Ignore 13 Year High In French Unemployment, Tumble In German Factor Orders; Rise On Spanish Auction  { And you know why? Because they are confident fraud, fake/falsified data has become literally standard practice in america and the accomplices in their unmistakable frauds have got their backs.  } In today's overnight trading, it was all about Europe (and will be with today's BOE and ECB announcements), where things continue as they have for the past six months: when it is a problem that can be "solved" by throwing bucketloads of money, and/or guaranteeing all risk, things appear to be better, such as today's EUR5.03 billion Spanish bond auction (the 0.03 billion part being quite critical as otherwise how will the authorities indicate the pent up demand by the Spanish retirement fund and various other insolvent ECB-backstopped Spanish banks for Spanish debt). And while events that can be "fixed" with massive liquidity injections are doing better, those other events which rely on reality, and the transfer of liquidity into the real economy, are just getting worse and worse. Sure enough, today we also learned that French unemployment rate just hit a 13 year high. But it wasn't only the French economy that continued to slide into recession: Germany wasn't immune either following "surprising" news that German January Factory Orders tumbled -1.9% M/M on expectations of a 0.6% rise, down from a revised 1.1% in December. The great equalization in Europe continues, as the PIIGS, kept still on artificial life support do everything in their power to drag down the core.

 

How Many Billions Of Drug-Laundered Money Does It Take To Shut Down A Bank?

It's an odd question, we know - especially ahead of today's Stress Tests, but given today's testimony on assessing the bank secrecy act, apparent trouble-maker Elizabeth Warren pokes and prods (correctly we would add) at the surreality that exists between the Department of Justice, The Treasury, and the financial system. David Cohen, Tom Curry, and Jerome Powell dodged bullets and blame, "does that mean essentially we have a prosecution-free zone for large banks in America?" But Warren wasn't going to be fobbed off with useless banter as she pointed out, "if you're caught with an ounce of cocaine, the chances are good you're going to go to jail... for the rest of your life. But evidently, if you launder nearly a billion dollars for drug cartels and violate our international sanctions, your company pays a fine and you go home and sleep in your own bed at night - I think that's fundamentally wrong." Indeed Ms. Warren.

 

 

"The Entire West Is In The Yo-Year Years" ECRI's Lakshman Achuthan holds firm to his belief that "a recession started around the middle of last year" and even as he notes consensus expectations for payrolls tomorrow at 160-170k, "year-over-year payroll jobs growth will go to a 16-month low." In this Bloomberg TV interview, the embattled prognosticator explains how "the entire West is in the Yo-Yo years. They have all been having growth stair-stepping down. It is very weak growth with higher cycle-volatility which will give you more frequent recessions." Critically he notes, "Economies do not hang out at 0.5% or 1%. They do not get this low growth steady state muddle through recession-free kind of growth at 1%, which everybody seems to think might be possible. It is not possible. Free markets have economic cycles. they accelerate and they decelerate. if you are doing it at a very low growth rate, the odds of a slowdown going into recession are very high." Some excess truthiness in this brief clip.

 

Guest Post: North Korean "Insanity" Part of Geopolitical Game North Korean leader Kim Jong-un may be colorful, but he isnt crazy. There is logic behind the intensified war rhetoric, and while it may be convenient for the American public to believe that they are about to be attacked unprovoked by the unhinged dictator of an eerily isolated country, the truth of the matter is that the US and its allies have been doing some offensive posturing that has Pyongyang very much on edge. Sending NBA hero Denis Rodman to Pyongyang to entertain Kim Jong-un - a die-hard basketball fan - was said to be a goodwill gesture from Washington. Clearly, Washingtons policy decisions are nearly as colorful as Pyongyangs. Denis Rodman, oddly enough, is a tool (in the instrumental sense of the word). This is where it gets interesting.

 

Who Is Absent (For Now) From The Record High Party?Four years from the lows and with US risk assets melting up, BAML notes that at this rate the S&P 500 will end 2013 above 2013! The low growth, high liquidity environment has, however, only benefitted some asset classes. As the following table shows, there are a few markets that have a long way to go still...

 

Does This Look Like An "Adverse Scenario"?The chart below summarizes the "unprecedented" balance sheet and income statement "stress" that the Fed envisions would occur in its draconian "Adverse Case." Ok, we give up: we seriously don't get the joke here. Can someone please explain?

 

 

Surprise! All Banks Pass Stress Test (Except Ally) In a stunning headline-making moment of clarity, it appears that all the major financials that the Fed monitors (except GMAC Ally) will survive a cataclysmic, Lehman-like moment based on their self-determined analytics of their deeply illiquid off-balance-sheet assets (and a comprehensive understanding of the co-dependence of all those assets). As Bloomberg notes,

*FED SAYS 18 BANKS PROJECTED LOSSES WOULD BE $462B UNDER TEST
*FED SEES 17 BANKS' TIER 1 COMMON RATIO ABOVE 5% IN WORST CASE
*GMAC ALLY ONLY STRESS-TESTED BANK SEEN WITH TIER 1 COMMON BELOW 5%
*TESTS SCENARIO ASSUMES EQUITY PRICES DROP MORE THAN 50%, HOUSING PRICES DECLINE MORE THAN 20%

Is it any wonder that Government Motors wanted to IPO its GMAC/Ally business recently - with a 1.5% stressed Tier 1 ratio.

 

 

Trannies Tumble As Dow Hits New-er-er All-Time High

Low volume, check. VWAP-reversion-algo, check. Equities higher, check. Dow Theory confirmation that was so convincing when Dow Transports were rising? Umm, no. Trannies lost 0.6% today, underperforming the Industrials by 50bps in March now. Breadth was not confirming the gains either. Financials were the best performers - remember we warned yesterday what happened ahead of last year's CCAR. Treasuries had a poor day with yields popping 5bps but 10Y holding below 2.00% into the close. Silver and Oil recoupled on the week now both +1% as EUR strength was enough to offset JPY weakness and pull the USD lower and supportive of risk. VIX remains dislocated from stocks but fell 0.5 vols today ending the day just above 13%.

 

 

Federal Government Injects Near Record Amount In Student Loans In January As Consumer Credit RisesMinutes ago the January Consumer Credit report was released. It was expected to post an increase of $14.7 billion. Instead it rose by $16.2 billion. On the surface this would be great: consumers are spending more, levering up confident in the future, etc, etc. Alas, as always in the New Normal, the story was below the surface. Specifically, of the $16.2 billion rise, a tiny $106 million was due to revolving, or discretionary spending credit card, debt. The balance, or 99% of the total, was non-revolving debt, best known as student loans, and less known as GM NINJA car loans. And here is the scary math: in the past 12 months, of the $153 billion in total consumer credit increase, just $6.4 billion was in revolving credit. The balance: student and car loans.

 

US Households Have Never Been More Reliant On The Stock Market For Their "Net Worth"When it comes to assets, there are two kinds: hard, tangible assets such as real estate, equipment and durable goods, and then there are financial assets, or "things" that only have an actual worth in the context of a capital market and a smoothly functioning financial system allowing for value-for-value exchanges and mark-to-market: among these are corporate equities, mutual and pension fund shares and reserves, credit instruments and equity in non-corporate businesses. We bring this up because today, as it does every quarter, the Fed released its Z.1, Flow of Funds report, which shows total US household assets and liabilities. Not surprisingly, with the ongoing surge in the stock market courtesy of the Fed's open-ended QE ticking time bomb, and the second housing bubble courtesy of the banking subsidy known as foreclosure stuffing, in the quarter ended December 31, 2012, at least according to the Fed, the US household's total net worth rose by another $1.2 trillion, taking it to $66.1 trillion. However, one thing was particularly notable in this latest update, and as implied by the above paragraphs, is that as of Q4, 2012, total US household financial assets hit an all time high of $54.4 trillion, well over the previous peak of $52.8 trillion in Q3 2007, and nearly $1 trillion higher compared to the past quarter. In other words, as of Q4 2012, the US household's net worth has never been more reliant on the stock market, which by implication means: Ben Bernanke and his centrally printing colleagues around the world.

Public College Tuition Soars By Most Ever (Or Searching For Deflation In All The Wrong Places)

For those who, like Time magazine and its exhaustive treatise on soaring healthcare costs, are shocked and confused how it is possible that prices for some of the most rudimentary staples, among them basic medical care and college tuition, have exploded we have the answer. In fact, we had the answer in August 2012, when we showed our "Chart Of The Day: From Pervasive Cheap Credit To Hyperinflation." As the title, and chart, both imply, the simple reason why college tuition is up 1200% in 35 years, while healthcare fees have soared by a neat 600% or double the official cumulative inflation, is two words: "cheap credit."That  is also the reason why the BLS and the Fed can get away with alleging inflation is sub-2%: because the actual cost for any of these soaring in price services is never actually incurred currently, but is deferred with the only actual outlay being the cash interest, which as everyone knows is now at the ZIRP boundary thanks to 4+ years of ZIRP and three decades of the "great moderation." Which is why we are confident it will come as no surprise to anyone, especially not those who have no choice but to follow the herd and pay exorbitant amounts for a generic higher education that has negligible utility at best in the New "Okun's law is broken" Normal, that tuition at public colleges jumped by a record amount in the past year!

 

 

Top-Down & Bottom-Up In 7 Sad Slides

The 15% run since mid-November (or 60% annualized return) in the S&P 500 is attributed to the optics of tail-risk reduction and a renewed flood of central bank liquidity. However, as UBS notes, downside risks appear to be rising, with volatility increasing, investor sentiment readings starting to wane, and flows into equity funds turning negative. They believe, confirmed by the following five (*well seven) charts, that fundamentals remain relatively weak. On the 'top-down' macro-economic front, their US growth surprise index has rolled over, and consensus GDP expectations are down. On the 'bottom-up' earnings front, S&P 500 companies (ex-Financials) beat by 4.5% in 4Q but this followed a 6.1% downward revision coming into earnings season. Moreover, guidance has been weak, and revision trends remain negative. The consumer is suffering from near-term pressure, and recently, a number of companies have signaled near-term consumer softness attributed to higher tax rates, delayed refunds, and rising gas prices which perhaps explains why it has been 42 weeks without net positive EPS revisions.

Cable Snaps (Again) As British Budget Goes Activist

GBPUSD (Cable) just cracked back below 1.50 and is trading at its lowest since July 2010 as The FT reports that it appears George Osborne (British Chancellor) is paving the way for Mark Carney (Bank of England governor) to follow the so-called 'Merkel-Draghi wager' that Europe is dangerously betting on. Instead of following business secretary Vince Cable's proposal of a new program of spending on schools, roads and housing funded by extra borrowing - Osborne will use his Budget on March 20 to reinforce his message of fiscal conservatism and monetary activism by clarifying how the government intends to use monetary policy to get the economy growing again. Treasury officials are discussing proposals to change the remit of the bank - which could include giving the monetary policy committee greater time to bring inflation back to the 2 per cent target, giving the BoE a Federal Reserve-style dual mandate to target both employment and inflation, and even targeting cash spending in the economy rather than inflation. It would appear our short Cable trade continues to do well as Carney's arrival heralds more aggression in the global currency wars.

 

 

Rand Paul's #Filiblizzard Enters Its Sixth Hour

Starting at 1147ET, Rand Paul began his James-Joycean discussion on US-based Drone strikes, six hours later (and with some minor aid from Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)), he is still going. Have you ever felt so strongly about something that you were willing to talk about it for over six hours? From Cruz's note that today is the 177th anniversary of the fall of (or stand at) the Alamo to Paul's rhetorical (we think) question to the President: "Are you going to just drop a hellfire missile on Jane Fonda?" We suspect the night is yet young as the snowquester continues.

 

 

The Smoking Gun Of Spain's Unsustainability

The people of Spain are prisoners of an economic adjustment that looks like something dreamed up by Torquemada.  A lot of the recent compensation decline had to do with public sector workers (who export nothing) and not private sector ones. Is this a sustainable way to regain competitiveness? Torquemada the Inquisitor would be impressed with the pain that Spain is inflicting on itself. The bad news for Spanish labor markets isn’t over: most measures of Spanish competitiveness show that only half the gap has been closed vs Germany. I don’t see how this can be sustained indefinitely, even with the rally in Spanish sovereign and bank spreads, and with looser fiscal policy sanctioned by the EU. Without a true fiscal transfer union in Europe, caveat emptor in its Periphery, unless prices for stocks, bank loans and real estate are sufficiently cheap.

 

 

Head Of Communications At Italy's Scandal-Ridden Banca Monte Paschi Has Committed Suicide

It has been several weeks since the name Monte Paschi, likely the most bailed out Italian bank in history, not to mention the oldest bank in the world, graced these pages: with the Italian elections now over and BMPS' political utility as leverage against Italy's Democratic Party finished, we expected that the next time we would read, and write, about it would be the next time it would need a bailout (its fourth in the past four years) sometime in the next 3 to 6 months. Sadly, Monte Paschi is squarely back on the front page following news moments ago that David Rossi, the head of communications at the bank, committed suicide by jumping off the building.

 

 

Silver Surges As Dow Hits New-er Record

Another day, another highest ever close for the Dow. However, away from the silliness of that index, the S&P scraped a small gain and the Nasdaq a small loss as volume and the day's range was its lowest in two weeks. Treasuries were weak, adding around 3-4bps on the day (10Y 1.94%), now up 10bps on the week - catching up to equities. The S&P was unable to get away from its VWAP today and churned as HYG (high-yield credit) closed red and VXX (vol) closed green in the face of equity's positive drift. Silver jumped 1.25% on the day (and Gold about half that) back over $29 in the face of USD strength (driven mostly by JPY weakness). It seemed today was a catch-up day for the rest of risk-assets as arbs dragged bonds and FX carry markets up towards equities. Spot VIX hardly moved from its 13.5% opening as it is quite clear protection of gains as opposed to adding is the name of the game here for now.

 

 

Guest Post: The Number 1 Problem When Owning Gold

In official testimony before Congress in December 1912, just three months before his death, J.P. Morgan stated quite plainly: "[Credit] is not the money itself. Money is gold, and nothing else." Of course, this testimony came only 253 days before H.R. 7837, better known as the Federal Reserve Act, was introduced on the floor of Congress. The Federal Reserve Act went on to become law and pave the way for the perpetual fraud of fiat currency which underpins our modern financial system. And if unbacked paper currency isn't bad enough, we award dictatorial control of the money supply to a tiny handful of people, and then simply trust them to be good guys. Owning gold is the same as voting against this system, turning your paper currency into something that they cannot inflate or conjure out of thin air. Yet there's one problem.

 

 

 

Financial Stress Test Deja Vu

With the Fed pumping $118 million per hour into excess (and fungible) reserves into the banking system, the market has once again front-run the exuberance expected from the CCAR (or bank stress tests). Sadly, just as we saw last year, the 'hope' priced into US financial stocks is absolutely not priced into US financial credit markets and the strange case of deja vu all over again that we saw in last year's stress test makes us wonder why all those professional investors aren't snapping up the 'cheap' debt of the banks - unless they are well aware of reality. Of course, as we noted last year, the combination of pure economic guesswork and financial analysis leaves belief in the Stress Tests a total 'act of faith' and it seems, once again, credit markets don't believe.

 

 

Beige Book Mediocrity Dominates 'Obamacare-Restrained' Moderate Growth

Another Beige Book comes and goes providing little real color as to anything useful about the real world. The excessive use of words synonymous with 'mediocre' appears to be the best we can do (on a $1 trillion deficit?) - but of course, the Dow is still near all-time highs...

*FED SAYS ECONOMY GREW AT 'MODEST TO MODERATE PACE' IN FEBRUARY

*FED SAYS 'MANUFACTURING MODESTLY IMPROVED IN MOST REGIONS'

*FED SAYS SEVERAL DISTRICTS REPORTED 'RESTRAINED HIRING'

*FED SAYS MOST DISTRICTS SAW MODEST PRESSURES ON PRICES

*FED SAYS 'WAGE PRESSURES WERE MOSTLY LIMITED'

Of course, the spin will be, at least it's not bad... the S&P is 3 points off the highs, BTFD. Perhaps of most note, though: "Many District contacts commented on the expired payroll tax holiday and the Affordable Care Act as having restrained sales growth."

 

 

Guest Post: The Human Cost Of Fiscal Mismanagement of Government

During the Great Depression, there were countless suicides. People jumping out of buildings because they lost everything and could not face a future that was destitute. The photographs of such scenes will live forever. The same is taking place throughout Southern Europe today and it is a cry for fiscal responsibility upon government. In Italy, just since the start of the year, 23 entrepreneurs have committed suicide. Politicians are responsible for these economic declines.

 

European Crisis Over? Not So Fast

As we recently noted, despite the incessant chatter that the worst is behind them and the unending belief that if European politicians repeat a lie often enough it will become truth, the following chart perhaps better than many others shows the sorry state that exists in Europe's core and periphery - no green shoots, no second-derivative shifts, and only the 'Merkel-Draghi' wager holding things together. And despite US equity strength, European markets disappointed today with EURUSD back under 1.3000, European stock indices closing red (not holding US equity-driven gains), and Italian and Spanish bond spreads leaking wider into the close (about 10bps off their intrday tights).

 

Chart Of The Day: The Minimum-Wage (Non) Recovery

Yesterday we showed all those key economic criteria (that get so little airtime for obvious reasons), which were prevalent the last time the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit an all time high, back in 2007, all of which reflected a far more vibrant economy, and more importantly, an economy, and market, not propped up by a $14 trillion global central bank liquidity tsunami. Today, our chart of the day comes from BloombergBrief, which shows yet another aspect of the "low wage" recovery, namely that while the bulk of the jobs lost heading into the "recovery" were of middle and higher paying jobs, the offset have been part-time and other low-paying jobs, which explains also why the purchasing power of the average American, in real terms, declines with every passing day.

Venezuela's Hugo Chavez Is Dead

The most unsurprising news of the day has just hit, and while we have already had some 20+ rumors on this issue previously, this time it is official:

Venezuela's Hugo Chavez has died, says VP Maduro

Chavez who ruled Venezuela since 1999, died from cancer at the age of 58

Time to celebrate Hugo's memory with some more currency devaluation? It is unclear if Goldman's record profits on Venezuela exposure (see How The Glorious Socialist Revolution Generated A 681% Return For Goldman Sachs) are about to snap back with a vengeance.

 

 

Think This Can't Happen Where You Live? Think Again...

Throughout history, bankrupt governments in decline almost ALWAYS fall back on a time-tested playbook. This includes imposing controls on everything - wage and price controls, trade controls, capital controls, border controls, people controls. Everything. And this idea goes back to the dawn of human civilization. From Mesopotamia to Rome and from France to Argentina, these policies have been a complete disaster for the country. But as the rest of the world looks on, people in rich countries foolishly believe that it cant happen here. So, again, if you think that gold criminalization, price controls, and IRA/pension confiscation could never happen where you live, think again. This is wishful, ignorant, dangerous thinking. It can happen. It is already happening.

 

 

"Mission Accomplished"

We could tell you all about the fact that high-yield credit did not play along with this rally today (and that the underlying cash market for corporate bonds has been weak for well over a week now); we could note that VIX did not take part in this surge today as the stops were run; we could point to the total lack of volume (NYSE or futures) confirming the move; we could highlight the fact that Treasury yields rose a de minimus 1.5bps on the day and while the USD slipped modestly on the day, it is only down 0.22% on the week and that Gold, Silver, and Oil are all unchanged on the week. But - all that matters, in this headline-driven algo-aided market is - The Dow hit all time highs - 'Mission Accomplished' Mr. Bernanke, well played - record stocks, record debt, record food stamps recipients.

Guest Post: The Hollowing Out Of Private-Sector Employment The following five charts reflect the hollowing out of the private-sector employment. This has profound implications for education, taxes, housing and inequality. What no one dares admit is that the U.S. economy is burdened by overcapacity (too many malls, restaurants, MRI machines, etc.) and too much debt, much of which was taken on to fund mal-investments. We suffer from a systemic failure of imagination. The financial and political Aristocracy that rules the neofeudal, financialized economy have no other model other than debt-based misallocation of capital and endless growth of debt-based consumption. That this model is broken and cannot possibly get us where we need to go does not matter; they will continue to do more of what's failed because they have no alternative model that leaves their power and wealth intact.

 

 

FBI And SEC Team Up To Take Down HFTAfter exposing the stock market manipulative arsenal that is High Frequency Trading, quote stuffing, flash trading, packet churning, layering, sub-pennying, liquidity, latency and dark pool arbitrage, NBBO and Reg NMS exemptions, "hide-not-sliding", collocation, and much, much more for four years, or so long even Credit Suisse joined the chorus we started in April of 2009, we are glad to learn that finally, with a ridiculous Rip Van Winklesian delay, but better late than never, "the FBI has teamed up with securities regulators to tackle the potential threat of market manipulation posed by new computer trading methods that have taken operations beyond the scope of traditional policing." In other words, the SEC has finally realized it can no longer pretend it is not co-opted, but because it has no clue where to even start with HFT, has asked the help of the Feds. Which in itself is hardly reason for optimism, but if there is one thing Hans Gruber has taught us, it is that when the Feds get involved, the first thing they do is cut the power, and in this algo-based market that will end some 99% of all daily manipulative practices we have all grown to love and look forward to every single day.

 

 

Druckenmiller: "When You Get This Kind Of Rigging, It Will End Badly" When even Home Depot's Ken Langone is questioning the reality of this rally (CEO of one of the best performing stocks since the Dow last traded here), you have to be a little concerned. However, it is Duquesne's Stanley Druckenmiller's point that with QE4EVA it is impossible to know when this will end but warns that "all the lobsters are in the pot" now as he notes that "if you print enough money, everything is subsidized - bonds, stocks, real estate." He dismisses the notion of any sell-off in bonds for the same reason as the Fed is buying $85 bn per month (75-80% all off Treasury issuance). The Fed has cancelled all market signals (whether these are to Congress or market participants) and just as we did in the 1970s, we will find out about all the mal-investments sooner or later. "This is a big, big gamble," he notes, "manipulating the most important price in all of free markets," that ends one of only two ways, a mal-investment bust (as we saw in 2007-8) or full debt monetization and "off we go into inflation."

 

 

One Drone Missing; Reward Offered. Please Contact FBIYesterday we noted the somewhat startling confession of @NYCAviation investigating a four-engined small aircraft (or drone) at JFK.

The unnamed aircraft was described as black in color and no more than three feet wide with four propellers.

 

Guest Post: There Is No Asset Bubble? What really strikes us is the universal belief by the majority of analysts, economists and commentators, that there is currently "no evidence" of an asset bubble.  This idea was further confirmed by Bernanke's testimony last week he explicitly stated: "I don't see much evidence of an equity bubble" In the long term it will ultimately be the fundamentals that drive the markets.  Currently, the deterioration in the growth rate of earnings, and economic strength, are not supportive of the speculative rise in asset prices or leverage.  The idea of whether, or not, the Federal Reserve, along with virtually every other central bank in the world, are inflating the next asset bubble is of significant importance to investors who can ill afford to once again lose a large chunk of their net worth. It is all reminiscent of the market peak of 1929 when Dr. Irving Fisher uttered his now famous words: "Stocks have now reached a permanently high plateau."  The clamoring of voices that the bull market is just beginning is telling much the same story.  History is repleat with market crashes that occurred just as the mainstream belief made heretics out of anyone who dared to contradict the bullish bias.

 

 

Greek Finance Ministry To "Troll" Through All Depositor Accounts In Hunt For Suspected Tax EvadersAs Greece's painfully desperate fight to collect tax revenue, any tax revenue, using traditional methods meets failure after grotesque failure, driven by such unconventional stumbling blocks as running out of ink with which to print tax forms, striking tax collectors, and repossessed (or stolen) tax department computer equipment, the necessity to prove to Europe that Greece is doing something to fill the income side of its reformist ledger has forced it to turn to the glaringly illegal. "Greeces General Secretariat for Information Systems has completed an application that will allow the states monitoring and collection mechanism to access the countrys banking system via an online connection and let the government have access to depositor bank accounts. The application, which will let the Finance Ministry troll through the accounts of all depositors suspected of tax evasion means online inspectors can scour through records of deposits, loans, credit card use and other data without permission from the account holder." What is troubling is that while this happens in the US on a daily basis, at least the NSA has to dig through data illegally, and can't use what it finds against citizens in court. In Greece, however, any trace of personal privacy in the insolvent state is now gone, and in a way that is made very public and clear to all citizens. The result will be an even greater hit to all forms of electronic spending (remember that all bulk cash transactions are prohibited), and a collapse in all economic transactions, leading to an even more acute depression, and an even greater need to yet another "bailout" from Europe (this one will be the last surely, as it will be after this it will be different).

 

 

Non-Manufacturing ISM Has Highest Print Since February 2012, 8 Beats In A RowNot like a market test was needed, but in a time when bad news is great for stocks, we fully expected today's Service ISM consensus beat to be great-er for the several hot potato passing algos still trading. Sure enough, the February non-manufacturing ISM just printed at 56.0, higher than the 55.0 expected, up from the 55.2 in February and the 8th beat of expectations in a row. That the service sector output rose despite consensus it wouldn't due to tax hikes, and higher gas prices, indicates just how "valid" and accurate it truly is, but with every data point now geared to only one goal - to get everyone to play musical chairs while the music plays, does any data actually even matter? After all, an improving economy would mean a tapering QE, but Bernanke has now made it clear no matter what the actual real or fake state of the economy is, he will never stop the liquid(ity) moprhine. Perhaps that is why the employment index actually dipped in February from 57.5 to 57.2 - supposedly this makes it "realistic."

 

 

Dow Jones Opens At All-Time HighsOn October 11th 2007, the 'old' Dow Jones Industrial Average reached its previous all-time high of 14,198.10 (with the all-time closing high of 14,164.5 on October 9th) as plans for the MLEC were rumored to save the world from the intensification of stress in the interbank funding markets. A week later, the Dow had dropped 5.5%; a month later it had dropped 8.5%; three months later it had slumped 18%. But, this time the 'wealth effect' will be different-er.

 

 

A Disparate PlaceThe world is a disparate place these days. It is dislocated. Central bank money buoying all of the markets; equities, debt, commodities while the underlying economies languish or dissipate. Month after month the division widens while even a slight whisper that the monetary creation might cease or falter hits the markets hard and then the leaders of the central banks assure everyone that it will go on ad infinitum and the markets all bounce back and begin to breathe again. The markets might be characterized as Pucker and Sigh. Over the Rainbow plays on non-stop in the media and those of us with a more skeptical eye are long past If and on to the When.

 

 

A 1994 Redux?A prevailing theme that the pundits are trying to furiously push onto hapless lemmings in hope of forcing them out of bonds and into stocks, is that the current capital market is somehow comparable to that of 1994 and that the Fed rate hike of 1994 is imminent in our day and age too. Aside from the fact that the economy, or the market, is nothing like 1994, the subliminal suggestion is that the Fed may just pull a Greenspan, and proceed to hike rates one clear day, in the process sending the long-end soaring, so please dear lemmings: rotate greatly. So if one were to ignore the fact that for the Fed to hike it would imply that the $14 trillion in global central bank support would immediately start being withdrawn, and thus sending the S&P lower by over 1000 points, how does this particular fable work? Here is how Bank of America spins it.

It was amusing to see mainstream media puzzling over the record high gas prices so early in this time of year, and as well, the coming jump in beef prices. There’s no mystery here! This is the natural and inevitable concomitant to ‘printing presses gone wild’. Not printing presses for product for intellectual consumption; but rather, printing presses (whether by print or computer ledger entry) for those ever more worthless paper fiat dollars backed by nothing but insurmountable debt of a defacto bankrupt nation.

It’s the zimbabwee financial model gone american …  ,   Kyle Bass Tells 'Nominal' Stock Market Cheerleaders: Remember Zimbabwe
Amid the euphoria of today's crossing of the Dow's Maginot Line at 14,000, Kyle Bass provided a few minutes of sanity this morning in an interview with CNBC's Gary Kaminsky. Bass starts by reflecting on the ongoing (and escalating) money-printing (or balance sheet expansion as we noted here) as the driver of stock movements currently and would not be surprised to see them move higher still (given the ongoing printing expected). However, he caveats that nominally bullish statement with a critical point, "Zimbabwe's stock market was the best performer this decade - but your entire portfolio now buys you 3 eggs" as purchasing power is crushed. Investors, he says, are "too focused on nominal prices" as the rate of growth of the monetary base is destroying true wealth. Bass is convinced that cost-push inflation is coming (as the velocity of money will move once psychology shifts) and investors must not take their eye off the insidious nature of underlying inflation - no matter what we are told by the government (as they will always lie when its critical)…”  ,  Post-Hyperinflationary Zimbabwe Welcomes The Holidays With 80% Unemployment, Empty ATMs And Paralyzed Transport  { Just another typical nigger! Speaking of niggers, if wobama is given the opportunity as he has thus far, he’ll tread the same path as fellow nigger mugabe. } … Zimbabweans are facing bleak holidays this year amid rising poverty, food and cash shortages and political uncertainty, with some describing it as the worst since the formation of the coalition government in the southern African nation.... Banks have closed, ATMs have run out of cash and transport services have been paralyzed." It gets worse: "Zimbabwe's unemployment is pegged at around 80 percent with many people in Harare, the capital, eking out a living by selling vegetables and fruits on street corners." And all of this is after the massive economic imbalances in Zimbabwe's economy should have been "fixed" (or so conventional economic theory would have one believe) courtesy of hyperinflation, which left any savers in tatters, destroyed the value of the old currency, benefited solely debtors  but also allowed a fresh start to a government, which could only remain in power due to a violent power grab by the democratically elected-turned-dictator Robert Mugabe.  }

Did The US Government Sanction The Liquidation Of Lehman Brothers?

As is now confirmed, at least one of many JPMorgan margin calls directed at Lehman in the days before the world's biggest bankruptcy became fact, were based on glaringly erroneous information and an error so profound one wonders if this was not a premeditated "hit" on one bank by another bank. Yet a purposeful "hit" orchestrated by one bank, even JPMorgan, would require the involvement of the highest echelons of the US government. So was the US government complicit and give its blessing in this historic liquidation? The Abu Dhabi Investment Council would like to know.

 

Understanding Europe's "Austrian" Solution - The 'Merkel-Draghi' Wager

When the Eurozone crisis first broke some four years ago, most analysts quickly and correctly concluded that the Eurozone was an incomplete monetary union; but, as UBS Larry Hatheway notes, neither rapid integration nor breakup were or are politically feasible options for Europe’s political classes. The 'Merkel-Draghi wager' then began with the determination that capital markets would not dictate Europe’s future: with growth-supporting fiscal transfers or debt mutualisation ruled out by national politics, the remainder of the story is about an ‘Austrian’ solution to cleanse Europe of excessive fiscal deficits, narrow gaps in competitiveness, and shrink external imbalances. The ‘Merkel-Draghi wager’, then, is a political gamble of historic proportions. It is a calculated bet that a policy prescription of robust liquidity buffers coupled with internal devaluation and fiscal consolidation will work. Equally, it is a view that the historical, cultural, economic, financial and political forces that have brought Europe together in the post-war era will prove stronger than those unleashed by the wrenching social dislocations associated with ‘Austrian’ economics that could one day threaten to rip apart the Eurozone. So far, the ‘wager’ is working in economic terms, or at least that's the hope.

 

 

The Fannie Mac Daddy: Fannie Freddie To Merge Select Operations

In what we are sure will be a BLS job creating moment, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will create a common platform for issuing MBS as they wind down operations and plan for a future in which the two companies no longer exist. Big is about to get bigger as Bloomberg reports, these two GOEs will start sharing risk with private financiers in the single-family loan market. FHFA head Ed DeMarco comments that they are beginning to move to a "post-conservatorship world," though we assume still as explicitly and implicitly guaranteed by the good taxpaying public of America. The merger and creation of a joint securitization company with the goal of executing $30bn each in transactions partnered with the private sector will attempt to reduce that taxpayer load and "ease the transition from where we are today to wherever lawmakers decide the country ought to ultimately go."

Guest Post: Diminishing QE Returns And The Coming 40% Correction

Chris Martenson is issuing an official warning of a major stock market correction within the next few months. He's only done this once before (in 2008). He's seeing a convergence of both technical and fundamental data that are flashing oversized risks to the downside for asset prices, despite the Federal Reserve's money printing mania (which is showing signs of hitting diminishing returns). He expects the fall in equity prices to happen within the May-September window. This downdraft will be characterized by lots of volatility, formed by market routs and Fed-inspired rescues, alternating until some form of bottom is reached. Along the way there will likely be a flight for "safety" into the dollar and Treasury paper, but only during the first stage of this crisis. Once a bottom is reached - he expects anywhere from 40% to 60% lower than the current ~1500 level on the S&P 500 - the process will begin to be dominated by rising government borrowing which will cause interest rates to begin to rise. When that happens, expect capital to flee the paper market for hard assets. In particular, that's when the upwards price revolution in the gold and silver markets will kick into high gear.

Guest Post: The Downward Spiral

There was once a rough and logical correlation between the level of government borrowing, and the rate of interest on government debt. If the government borrowed more money, the cost of borrowing rose and the private market’s appetite for government debt fell. But that correlation totally broke down around the year 2000. In 2008 we hit the Minsky moment, and today we are in the deleveraging phase. The spread between government borrowing costs and government borrowing levels remains huge. And the long, slow grind back to a sustainable debt-to-GDP ratio is slow and depressionary. Japan hit their Minsky moment in the 1990s, and today still remain trapped in the deleveraging phase. The question that remains unknown is how the distortions will resolve. In the long run, the data is clear. The Greenspan-Bernanke era Federal Reserve wilfully built up bubbles and distortions, which grew out of control, and sucked the economy into a black hole. At the very best, this has led to a Japanese-style depression.

 

 

Presenting The "Great Rotation"... Out Of Investing

Since 2004, interest in 'stocks' and 'bonds' has plunged by more than 50%. Despite a renaissance for bonds in 2008, and stocks in 2009, the 'Great Rotation' appears to be 'out of investing'. Google Trends also shows that, as expected, 'Bonds' have been more popular than 'Stocks' since the crash - a development the Fed is so desperately trying to reverse, by imposing ever stricter central planning, ironically the reason why most have "just said no" to an authoritarian, inefficient, and farcical policy instrument formerly known as the market. Is it any wonder so many retail brokerages, commission-takers, and asset-gatherers are advertising day-in, day-out and constantly reassuring with the "it'll all be 'ok' in the long-run meme"?

 

 

Lost In Translation: Ben Bernanke-Speak

We really hate to beat a dead horse, but we wouldn’t be doing my job for you if we didn’t point out some of the most intellectually dishonest, self-aggrandizing Bernanke-speak to come out of the Fed Chairman’s testimony this week. I know this goes without saying, but entrusting this man with your life savings is a dangerous course of action. I strongly urge you to consider diversifying into precious metals, productive farmland, or even a digital currency like Bitcoin. After all, you know the old saying – it’s time to be very concerned when the politicians and bureaucrats tell you to not be concerned.

 

 

Stocks Up, Bonds Up, Dollar Up, VIX Up

Treasuries close today at the low yields of the week (down 11bps) but equities were not going to take any notice of that and pushed to hold green for the week (with the Dow and TRAN outperforming). S&P futures managed to touch the underside of their uptrend once again but not break back into it. Financials and Energy ended the week -0.5% while Discretionary rallied 1.5%. VIX ignored equity's strength and rose around 1.5 vols (with a notable bearish divergence into the close). The Dollar gained 1% on the week against the majors - helped by JPY's rapid sell-off today. This USDJPY shift today was the algo driver for stocks as everything else decoupled. Gold and the S&P 500 recoupled on the week. Credit markets in general tracked stocks but high-yield started to slide into the close. WTI was the worst commodity on the week, down 2.3%, as Silver and Gold lost around 0.5%. It seems only US equities know something about the weekend as everything else in Europe and US was decidedly not playing along.

 

 

The "Stuffing" Is Back As GM's February Dealer Inventory Soars To Second Highest Ever

For those technical analysis aficionados who enjoy charts that go "from the lower left to the upper right" as much as the next predictor of the future, may we recommend some deep OTM calls on GM's now endless channel-stuffing (a topic we have discussed to death and back here), which saw the bailed out company from the currently bailed out city, a near record 743K cars with dealers - the second highest ever. This is obviously an indication of soaring, if inverse, demand for the cars only federally-funded NINJAs can love.

"Down With Reform"

Italian electors’ rejection of Brussels-imposed economic diktat is an extraordinarily important moment in the history of modern Europe - perhaps the best political news since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Given the power of unelected technocrats, it is easy to forget that sovereignty in Europe still resides with the nation state as expressed through elections. The problem for those unelected officials who conspired to capture the political system - think Jacques Delors, Jean Claude Trichet or Mario Monti - is the obvious failure of their great project. For the first time a majority of electors has decisively voted against the euro and rejected policies imposed by technocrats. What the eurocrats offer under the banner of "reform" is nothing of the sort but just an increase in their power and the destruction of the incredible diversity which made Europe an endlessly fascinating place. It is time to return to market prices and democracy and to accept that technocracy cannot work.

 

 

Guest Post: Programs That Should Be Cut - But Wont Be Cut - From The Federal Budget

Washington is laying on the malaise pretty thick lately over automatic budget cuts set to take effect in March, with admonitions and partisan attacks galore.  Of course, those of us who are educated in the finer points of our corrupt puppet government are well aware that the public debate between Democrats and Republicans amounts to nothing more than a farcical battle of Rock’Em Sock’Em Robots with only one set of hands behind the controls.  The reality is, their decisions are scripted, their votes are purchased, and they knew months ago exactly how America’s fiscal cliff situation would progress.  The drama that now ensues on the hill is meant for OUR benefit and distraction, and no one else. There are plenty of irrelevant federal appendages out there that could be amputated, but probably won’t be, while other more useful programs will come under fire.  In the end, the budget cuts are not about saving money; they are about social maneuvering and political gain.  They will be used as an excuse for everything, and will produce nothing favorable, not because cuts are not needed, but because the people in charge of them are not trustworthy.

Insider Selling-To-Buying Hits Record As Biderman Welcomes "The New Recession"

While not according to official government statistics (yet), which we have come to trust so Pavlovian-ly, TrimTab's CEO Charles Biderman notes that based on what is important - the growth (or lack thereof) of real-time wages and salaries, the US economy has slowed enough to enter into recession. Following December's aberrant jumps thanks to tax hike concerns, after-tax wages and salaries (net of inflation) have been shrinking year-over-year since the second week in January. But it gets better, withheld income and employment taxes have been running about 8.3% higher year-over-year. While retail is being told to buy-buy-buy, Biderman exclaims that "insiders at U.S. companies have bought the least amount of shares in any one month," and that the ratio of insider selling to buying is now 50-to-1 - a monthly record. "So far the mass delusion is holding."

 

 

Would You Trust Your Life Savings To This Man?

Every now and then you get a glimpse. A vision of reality that confirms the surreality occurring all around us. This time it comes courtesy of Coleman Andrews, co-founder of Bain Capital, who asks bluntly how confident can investors be that this monetary program will have the effects that the Fed claims it will have? A look at what Fed Chairman Bernanke was saying in the run-up to the 2008 financial turmoil gives some insight into the Fed's record at predicting market outcomes. A must-watch 150 seconds today as it appears belief in Bernanke's omnipotence is back for a moment as he asks "would you trust your life-savings to an institution with that recent record of completely missing what happened in the housing sector and more broadly in the economy." Indeed...

Would you still chase day after day? Could you stand to watch the greater fools buying in the belief they are not the patsy? The following six facts might put things into perspective...

The Recent FOMC Minutes Should Anger Every Investor

With gold dropping nearly 3% on February 20, we had to look closely at the FOMC minutes, which were partially responsible for that movement. Since there are quite a few highlights, we have split this analysis into three sections: the confusion over the minutes in the market; the ambiguous language hinting at deep problems; and a few quotes to make your blood boil.

 

 

Girls Gone Filed

You know America is in trouble when a company that does nothing but create TV-style shows of college-age women in next-to-no clothes goes bankrupt but sure enough the company behind the "Girls Gone Wild" videos filed Chapter 11 today to protect itself from $10.3 million debt claimed by Steve Wynns Wynn Las Vegas LLC (after losing a slander lawsuit suggesting Wynn knowingly tricked high-end gamblers) and a $5.8 million award won by a woman who says the company used naked images of her without permission in the Girls Gone Wild Sorority Orgy DVD series. The bankruptcy enables the company "to restructure its frivolous and burdensome legal affairs," and just like GM and UA (the company states reassuringly) it will be business-as-usual for Girls Gone Wild. In perhaps the clearest analog for America, the company had $16.3mm in debt and $50k in assets - now that is leverage-able wealth-effect.

 

 

IceCap Asset Management: "The Worst Is Over"

The dark ages were an awful time. Considering the brightest days delivered constant warfare, the burning of books, and the fear of barbarians, no one ever looked forward to the darkest days. Fast forward 1,600 years, and the darkest days of the European debt crisis are finally over - not because the bad debt has been written off or due to the consolidation of all debt, but simply because everyone has said so. Exactly who is telling lies and who is telling the truth will only be determined in due course. Without a doubt, global economic growth remains stagnate, yet stock markets are booming. Our message on financial markets remains very consistent do not confuse strong financial markets with a strong underlying economy. While this may sound like hogwash to many investors and investment professionals, it is the extreme, unorthodox, and never-before-tried policies by the Worlds central banks that is the reason for the march higher for stocks. Regardless, for those who honestly believe in the recovery, ask yourself the following questions...

 

 

Extended Claims Jump 8.5% As Initial Claims Continue Sideways Crawl

Initial claims beat expectations but remain in a narrow 'flat' range for the last year. Non-seasonally-adjusted claims dropped notably to their lowest in 5 months. Since January we have seen multiple estimated states and a lot of choppy noise in the initial claims data. Against this choppiness in the main headline data is the swings in Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) benefits which rose 10% or 187k. One thing is for sure, the last two months have seen an unprecedented amount of noise in the claims data that we can only put down to seasonally-affected-disorder (or statistical idiocy with 5 sigma swings the new normal).

 

 

Negative Q4 GDP Revised To Barely Positive, Misses Expectations

From -0.1% to +0.1% (on expectations of a 0.5% print): the Q4 GDP revision was the smallest possible to make it seem that the US economy grew in the fourth quarter. A quick look at the components, however, reveals more of the same, with a small drop in the consumption contribution to GDP (from 1.52% to 1.47%), Fixed investment growing modestly, as well as imports, while the negative components remained roughly in line, with Inventories detracting the most from growth in Q4, or 1.55%. If JCP is any indication, expectations of aggressive inventory restocking in Q1 may be very optimistic. One thing is clear - the general GDP trendline is ugly, and we may now see downward revisions to Q1 growth forecasts in the aftermath of today's number.

Guest Post: All Of This Whining About The Sequester Shows Why America Is Doomed

http://albertpeia.com/americadoomed.htm

If we can't even cut federal spending by 2.4 percent without much of the country throwing an absolute hissy fit, then what hope does America have?  All of this whining and crying about the sequester is absolutely disgraceful.  The truth is that even if the sequester goes into effect, the U.S. government will still take in more money than ever before in 2013 and it will still spend more money than ever before in 2013.  So it is a bit disingenuous to call what is about to happen "a spending cut", but for the sake of argument let's concede that point. If this is how bad things are now, how bad will they be when a day of reckoning for our economy arrives? And a day of reckoning is coming. Our politicians can try to keep kicking the can down the road for as long as they can, but eventually time will run out.  We can borrow our way to prosperity for a while, but in the end there is always a very bitter price to pay for doing so. I would love to tell you that there is a chance that all of this will be turned around, but the truth is that all of this whining and crying about the sequester shows that America is doomed.

Italy Is Not Spain - It's Worse

With Rajoy quietly gloating at his political fraud being off the front-pages thanks to Italian elections, it seems the more we dig into Italian reality, the weaker the story becomes. The meme of the last few years has been that "at least we're not as bad as Greece" and rightly so, for as Bloomberg's Niraj Shah notes today, Greece's poverty rate is a stunning 31% (against Holland's 15.7%). However, while all eyes have been focused on Spain's dismal economy, the sad reality is that Italy is worse than Spain in that its poverty rate is a breath-taking 28.2% (relative to Spain's 27%) - even though the unemployment rates in the two nations are vastly different (Spain 26% and Italy 11.2%). Given this fact it is perhaps not surprising that the 'people' voted against austerity and furthermore, that Italy's CDS has pushed above Spain's for the first time in over a year.

 

Party Like There's No Tomorrow

Money is not like a commodity; there is no end to it. You don’t have to grow it, find it in the ground, drill for it or plant it in the spring. It is not even that the supply of lumber will curtail the paper for most of it is not printed at all. Made from nothing, recorded on a spreadsheet, sent out across the wires, a digital divinity of man’s own creation. It is a world that none have seen before. It is not Huxley’s “Brave New World” but something far stranger; a financial system cobbled together in counting houses and made from nothing but air. In the last days Bernanke promised that the feeding would continue, Draghi promised a food laden table without end and the Band of Merry Men rejoiced and the gauge of their elevated mood, the markets, responded accordingly and the party continued.

2-27-13 ALL OF THIS WHINING AND CRYING ABOUT THE SEQUESTER SHOWS WHY AMERICA IS DOOMED

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com

http://albertpeia.com/americadoomed.htm

 

Founded By Geniuses And Run By Idiots

H. L. Mencken correctly observed: "Government is actually the worst failure of civilized man. There has never been a really good one, and even those that are most tolerable are arbitrary, cruel, grasping and unintelligent." The following 14 rhetorical questions should provide food for thought as they suggest... "you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots."

 

 

The Bernanke Circ(us)

 

Main Street Sours As Wall Street Soars

"Wealth Effect"

 

 

Bernanke's 'Inflation' Record

Addressing a question yesterday, from Senator Bob Corker, on his "being the biggest dove since World War II" and the "degrading effects that he's having on society," Bernanke responded proudly that be believed his "inflation record is the best of any Federal Reserve Chairman in the post-war period." Of course that is by his measure. We suggest, he and few of his transitory colleagues look at the chart below for a sense of just what his 'dovishness' looks like to the rest of the food- and energy-consuming world... or perhaps by 'best' he means 'most'.

 

 

JCPenney Reports Horrific Results, Stock Plunges

At what point does Bill Ackman throw in the towel and admit that his latest windmill crusade is unsalvageable? Perhaps somewhere around now:

Q4 EPS: ($1.95), Exp. ($0.19) - No, there was no decimal comma error here.

Q4 Revenues: $3.884 billion, Exp. $4.09 billion. This includes a "free" 53rd week in the year which generated $163 million. Ex this, Q4 revenue was $3.721 billion.

Q4 Comp store sales excluding the 53rd week were down 31.7%

Q4 Interent sales down 34.4%  - must be the store layout's fault

Q4 Gross margin: 23.8%, Exp. 30.9%;  (30.2% last); "Gross margin was impacted by lower than expected sales and a higher level of clearance merchandise sales related to inventory reductions in 2012"

2012 cash burn was a gargantuan $906 million; this compares to cash flow of +$23 million in 2011.

And so on. Stock should be down much more, but someone keeps on buying it after hours to telegraph that this epic disaster was "expected"

 

 

Stocks Surge On Endless Easy Money Promises As Italy Is Long Forgotten

Stocks surged their most in 2013 today on slightly above-average volume as the Dow pushed towards its all-time closing highs and Transports went vertical (up 3.5% in Feb). While it no longer matters, it is worth noting that Treasuries and FX markets were not partaking as a broad basket of risk-assets suggests the S&P going out 20 points rich to reality. Materials are stil -1.5% on the month and Staples are leading +2.4%. In the last hour, the S&P even left behind its main driver - VIX - as the 'fear' index could not break below 14.5%. Of most notice today was the fact that equities have retraced all of their losses from the Italian election headlines and recoupled with gold on the week. The high-yield bond ETF HYG rose along with stocks but also notably the underlying HY bond market actually saw selling pressure as HYG's intrinsic value dropped markedly. Late on, trade size rose notably as S&P futures touched the under-side of the 3-month up-trend channel.

 

 

The Long And Short Of Risk-On, Risk-Off

From David Rosenberg: "One thing to keep in mind that could well limit the severity of any near-term correction is the Fed. Recall that in 2010 and again in 2011. the Fed was scheduled to terminate its Quantitative Easing programs and this aggravated the selloff. So after crying 'uncle' twice to stem the market's decline and extending QE, the Fed late last year introduced perpetual QE and Bernanke yesterday gave no sign at all that he is about to back away from the program. He doesn't see bubbles forming: and if he did, he made it quite clear that the dual mandate of full employment (not there with a U6 rate over 14%) and price stability (in the current case, preventing deflation) would still take precedence. I have long cited the 85% correlation between the Fed's balance sheet and the market's direction over the past four years the extent to which the laws of diminishing returns begin to set in will be interesting to see, me-thinks, over the next several weeks and months."

 

 

German FinMin Warns "I Never Said The Euro Crisis Was Over"

Following on the heels of Merkel's adviser Lars Feld's comments, German finance minister Schaeuble has raised concerns over the results of the Italian elections. His comment that,"I never said the euro crisis was over," stands in contrast to the claims of Monti, Draghi, Lagarde, Barroso, and Sarkozy who all have. along with the market's "doubts that a stable government can be formed," raises the risk of turmoil spreading to other euro countries. Schaeuble commented further that, "now it is up to those who were elected in Italy on Sunday to form a stable government. The faster they do this, the quicker the uncertainty will be overcome." The problem, as Reuters reports, appears to be not just Italy's public dissension over Germany's demands for austerity but his French counterpart's comments that "austerity has gone far enough," to which the German rebuked, "France must also do more here, Hollande knows this and so does Pierre Moscovici." Tension is certainly rising in the depression-addled union, even as Draghi explains - it's all ok, he promises.

 

 

Santelli On The Securitization Of Gold

Having started trading gold futures over 30 years ago, CNBC's Rick Santelli has seen a few changes over the years. From its true high in Feb 1980 at around $2300 (inflation-adjusted), the biggest shift he and his guest have seen is the evolution of ETFs and the implicit securitization of gold. This took the 'complication' out of trading gold and enabled those who did not wish to hold physical to participate. But Santelli asks the critical question, "didn't it take the whole point away [of investing in gold]?" From the 'old days' when gold and silver were physically held and passed down and considered wealth to the current incorrect belief system of paper gold, the myth-shattering-Chicagoan exclaims to the precious metal ETF holders, "for the Ayn Rand'ers, if the financial world comes to an end, you're not going to have the gold, you're going to have a piece of paper."

 

 

High Frequency Wallpaper: When Knight Went Dark

See if you can find when the Knight algo was turned off on August 1st 2012? Think that was a lone rogue algo? This is what our 'market' has become, as Nanex explains, a Knightmare on Wall Street...

 

 

Total Disconnect Between FX/Bonds And Stocks

It's one of those days. The world looks on as Bernanke speaks and the S&P 500 levitates 20 points in a straight line wealth-effect-confirming way. However, it appears the FX and Bond markets just can't get excited about all this... Of course, all that matters is the foot on the neck of spot VIX (which is now back below 15%) and Bernanke's confirmation that housing has bottomed (again).

 

A Century Of French And Italian Economic Decline

Europe's dual problems of low growth and weak profit margins combined with this week's vote in Italy are likely to usher in another period of European underperformance, but as JPMorgan's Michael Cembalest notes, that is the least of it as Italy overtook Japan with the worst real GDP growth of all advanced economies since 1991. In fact, other than wartime, the last few years in Italy have been the worst for growth since Italian unification in 1861. But, before the rest of Europe gloats that 'they are not Italy, or Greece', he reminds us that the slowness of French GDP growth in recent years is the slowest in over 80 years. As he warns, all things considered, from an investment standpoint, caution continues to be warranted as problems appear to be taking their toll on EU profitability.

 

 

Europe Limps Higher After Italy Auctions Debt At Four-Month High Yields

And yay verily there was much rejoicing that Italy managed to sell a few billion euros worth of its sovereign debt to its banking system (albeit at the highest accepted yield since October 2012). However, the rejoicing was hardly effusive as bonds and stocks gained only marginally, buoyed by catch-up from yesterday's US equity markets. Swiss 2Y rates remain at zero and EUR-USD basis swaps came back a little but overall this bounce is nothing to celebrate with Italian 10Y spreads still 47bps wider on the week and Spain 23bps wider. Italian stocks outperformed credit, now down 2.6% on the week as Europe's VIX followed US down but remains above Monday's close at 22%. EURUSD ran up to test the 1.3130 stops and faded back to its comfort zone around 1.3100. As a reminder, European bank spreads are holding at their widest in 3 months and point to notably weaker prices in European financial stocks (were of course they allowed to trade in a free non-short-sale-banned market).

 

 

Bank Deposits Decline Across Europe In January

There was much press coverage of the December jump in European bank deposits: a veritable litany of pundits said that it was an indication of the recovery in the European financial system, how faith in the banking system is coming back, and that European consumers are so wealthy they actually have excess cash they can deposit at their bank. Perhaps it is not very surprising, then, that we have yet to hear a peep about the fact that overnight the ECB reported that deposits at all key core and peripheral European countries declined. Wait, we know: "it's seasonal."

 

 

Chris Christie Says "God-Awful" Atlantic City Government "Going Down The Chute"

A week after the epic fail of Atlantic City's Revel casino, and in the middle of the gambling 'mecca's rebuilding, the mayor of this always-above-board city has voted himself a $16,000 per annum pay rise; why not, he is entitled, right? Well it seems Chris Christie has a few things to say about that:

*CHRISTIE BLASTS ATLANTIC CITY MAYOR FOR $16,000 PAY RAISE
*CHRISTIE SAYS A.C. GOVERNMENT `GOING DOWN THE CHUTE'
*CHRISTIE SAYS ATLANTIC CITY GOVERNMENT IS `GOD-AWFUL'

How America Makes Up For The Lack Of Manufacturing

Guest Post: Gold Manipulation, Part 2: How They Do It (And How To Hedge It)

 

This is the second of three articles on the suppression of gold. In the first article we showed that, under mainstream economic theory, the suppression of the gold market is not a conspiracy theory, but a logical necessity, a logical outcome. This second article will show how that suppression takes place, and potentially how to protect ourselves from that manipulation.

 

 

The Men Who Built America: Remembering The Gilded Age Part 4

In the final part of History Channel's four-part series (Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 here) we see how these five men - John D. Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford and J.P. Morgan - led the way from Civil War to the Great Depression and through to World War I. Whether for better or worse; for richer or poorer, in ethical and societal sickness or health, railroads, oil, steel and electricity had all been harnessed in less than 50 years, but the face of America was changing and would never be the same.

 

 

Trust Me, This Time Is Different

By 1789, a lot of French people were starving. Their economy had long since deteriorated into a weak, pitiful shell. Decades of unsustainable spending had left the French treasury depleted. The currency was being rapidly debased. Food was scarce, and expensive. Perhaps most famously, though, the French monarchy was dangerously out of touch with reality, historically enshrined with the quip, Let them eat cake. Along the way, the government tried an experiment: issuing a form of paper money. It didnt matter to the French politicians that every previous experiment with paper money in history had been an absolute disaster. The Bourbon monarchy paid the price for it, eventually losing their heads in a 1793 execution. History shows there are always consequences to entrusting a paper money supply to a tiny handful of men. The French experiment is but one example. Our modern fiat experiment will be another.

 

 

Biderman Blasts "Sequestration Bullshit" And The Government's Big Lie

The sequestration bullshit is driving TrimTabs' CEO Charles Biderman nuts - and rightly so. As we showed recently, the actual scale of the earth-shattering cuts, while not insignificant, are small and if the shills on TV preaching the end of the world from sequestration did the math they would see it is a mere 6% drop in non-entitlement government spending that is set to destroy the economy. Biderman exclaims, "what is apparent to me is that our government is becoming very good at the big lie," as they exaggerate any and everything to their own needs. It is obvious, he adds, "that our government is deeply committed to not reducing the size of government, and is willing to outright lie," but he saves the epic rant that we come to expect for Paul Krugman. Just as Irving Fisher's infamous 1929 pre-crash call that equities have reached a permanently high plateau; Biderman suggests Krugman will be remembered as erroneously claiming that 'deficits don't matter', as he reminds us of Emperor Caracella's 268AD reign of insidious taxation and currency debasement that ended in 1000% inflation and the end of the Roman Empire. Well worth the price of admission...

Guest Post: Be Careful: Russia Is Back To Stay In The Middle East

Russia is back. President Vladimir Putin wants the world to acknowledge that Russia remains a global power.  He is making his stand in Syria. The Russians are troubled by what they see as a growing trend among the Western Powers to remove disapproved administrations in other sovereign countries and a program to isolate Russia. Again, Russia is seeing Washingtons hand in Syria in the conflict with Iran. The Russians are backing their determination to block another regime change by positioning and manning an advanced air defense system in what is becoming the Middle East casino.  Putin is betting that NATO will not risk in Syria the cost that an air operation similar to what was employed over Libya will impose.  Just in case Russias determination is disregarded and Putins bluff is called, Surface to surface Iskander missiles have been positioned along the Jordanian and Turkish frontiers. Putin is certain that he is holding the winning hand in this very high stakes poker game. When the Turks and U.S see that there is little chance of removing Al-Assad, they will have no option other than to negotiate a settlement with him; and that would involve Russia as the protector and the mediator.

 

 

Merkel Advisor Feld: "Euro Crisis Will Return Shortly And With A Vengeance"

For all the groundless, starry-eyed optimism permeating Europe's bureaucratic corridors of the fading oligarchy these days (because this time is not like every other time that, too, was different), there has always existed one sure, never-fail antidote: Germany, which without fail has managed to ground Europe any time its delusion of grandure hit escape velocity. Sure enough, while all the statist soothsayers who threatened with armageddon if the outcome of the Italian elections happened to be precisely the one that transpired, were stuck in backpedal mode, and scrambling to calm nerves that all shall be well after all, one person who refuses to play by the script is Lars Feld, member of panel of economic advisers to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who in an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung tomorrow says the euro crisis is to return shortly and "with a vengeance" as capital loss will lead to higher risk premiums for Italys interest rates.

 

 

As Goes China, So Goes The World And Definitely Australia

While China depends on only one nation for 15% or more of its exports (US 17.3%), Bloomberg's Michael McDonough notes that an incredible 35 nations depend of China for at least 15% of the exports; up from just 4 in 2001. Most are emerging markets or major commodity producers with the shift being driven by China's demand for raw materials, fueled by its investment-led growth model and the stimulus package following the global financial crisis. This gross dependence leaves the world's economy increasingly susceptible to shifts in the Chinese business cycle - most notably Australia which relies on China for a massive 30% of its export demand. This is almost double the next largest developed nation of Japan (which relies on China for 18.5% of its exports) though tensions between the two nations has led to an almost 10% decline in Chinese imports of Japanese goods since September. As we have noted, China has become a key source of FDI in Africa in recent years and 12 of the 20 most-China-dependent economies are from that continent; but as China attempts to transition from investment toward consumption, demand for commodities may slow and downside risk grows for these dependent commodity-producing nations.

Guest Post: The Coming Water Wars

Peak oil we can handle. We find new sources, we develop alternatives, and/or prices rise. It's all but certain that by the time we actually run out of oil, we'll already have shifted to something else. But "peak water" is a different story. There are no new sources; what we have is what we have. Absent a profound climate change that turns the evaporation/rainfall hydrologic cycle much more to our advantage, there likely isn't going to be enough to around. As the biosphere continually adds more billions of humans (the UN projects there will be another 3.5 billion people on the planet, a greater than 50% increase, by 2050 before a natural plateau really starts to dampen growth), the demand for clean water has the potential to far outstrip dwindling supplies. If that comes to pass, the result will be catastrophic. People around the world are already suffering and dying en masse from lack of access to something drinkable... and the problems look poised to get worse long before they get better.

Part 3 of the 4-part History Channel series takes us from the beginning of steel and oil having forever changed the face of America, to JP Morgan arriving on the scene and expedites growth through a magical thing called finance.  From the Civil War to the Great Depression and World War I, for better or worse; for richer or poorer, in ethical and societal sickness or health; these five men - John D. Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford and J.P. Morgan - led the way.

 

 

Guest Post: Waking Dreams End Unpleasantly

Whenever I endeavor to explain Americas current economic situation to a person who likely receives most of his information from skewed mainstream news sources, I try to use two comparisons; the Great Depression, and Weimar Germany, because what we are experiencing is actually a combination of elements from both events. In the end, the madness of debt spending is going to annihilate this country anyway.  Fiat printing and infinite QE will eventually result in the dumping of our currency as the world reserve, causing devaluation and hyperstagflation.  Stimulus and the monetization of government liabilities are crippling us.  The problem is, this nation is irrevocably dependent on such measures.  Cuts will result in almost similar catastrophe, but on a faster time frame and perhaps a slightly shorter duration (depending on who runs the show in the aftermath).  Ive been saying it since 2008 there is no easy way out of this situation.  There is no silver bullet solution.  There will be struggle, and there will be consequence.  It is unavoidable.  All we have to decide now is how we will respond when the inevitable disaster comes.

 

 

Next Domino: Spain, As Main Suspect In Rajoy Graft Scandal Has Passport Confiscated

While today's attention was focused on the austerity-crushing defeat of Monti in Italy and the pre-supposition that the ECB being able to use its OMT promise against an ill-disciplined nation fades; there is another super-cell of destruction wending its way towards Berlin (and Brussels). At the perfect time for such things, Reuters reports that the man at the center of Spanish PM Rajoy's political scandal, Luis Barcenas, has been banned from leaving Spain, had his passport revoked, and ordered to report to court twice a month. The millions of dollars in Swiss bank accounts that investigators found that he had deposited and the linkages to Spain's royalty in the so-called 'graft' case are not playing well with the population as unemployment surges above 26%. Judged as a serious flight risk, the high court judge ordered the steps after finding out he was skiing in Canada two weeks ago (where they suspect funds were also transferred). One protester complained, "They are lying to us, and worse than that, scorning us... Enough is enough, we need some accountability."

 

 

Citi: "This Is The First European Election In Which Voters Didn't Do The Right Thing"

When a note by a Citi FX strategist begins with the following proclamation endorsing outright fascist despotism, you know it's going to be good: "This is the first European election in which voters didn't do the right thing." Perhaps if Citi would be so kind to overrule the democratic vote, in which 55% or the majority of the people voted against the "right thing",  and impose its own unelected Italian dictator, just like Goldman did in November 2011, that long EURUSD call would be happier? Then it only gets better: "Elections are more problematic than market scares or sentiment shifts as they can't be undone by printing monry" (sic). True: some things outright money debasement by central banks can't buy - for everything else there are Siberian Gulags. And the absolute punchline: "Still the outcome does not seem so dire that a bit of growth and ECB flexibility could not turn it around." Why yes, all Europe needs is a "little growth" obviously in lieu of lots of growth, but frankly it will settle for any growth - something it has been unable to do under the wise tutelage of the banker-dominated oligarchy for the past four years, as for that little "ECB flexibility" - wink wink: just where would you like those Euro Stoxx Steve?

 

 

Goldman: "A Day Characterized By Broad-Based Liquidation"

Equities suffer their biggest single day loss on the year with financials performing the worst. Treasuries rallied sharply on the day in line with the broader risk off move. 10s rallied nearly 10bp on the day though flows were skewed towards better selling hedge funds selling in the belly in both cash and swaps as accounts looked to fade the rally. Later in the day flows shifted as tactical shorts looked to cover. Gold finished up $11.60 to 1593.50 on a day characterized by broad based liquidation in the macro markets.

 

 

Guest Post: 20 Signs The U.S. Economy Is Heading For Big Trouble In The Months Ahead

Is the U.S. economy about to experience a major downturn?  Unfortunately, there are a whole bunch of signs that economic activity in the United States is really slowing down right now. In many ways, what we are going through right now feels very similar to 2008 before the crash happened.  Back then the warning signs of economic trouble were very obvious, but our politicians and the mainstream media insisted that everything was just fine, and the stock market was very much detached from reality.  When the stock market did finally catch up with reality, it happened very, very rapidly.  Sadly, most people do not appear to have learned any lessons from the crisis of 2008.  Americans continue to rack up staggering amounts of debt, and Wall Street is more reckless than ever.  As a society, we seem to have concluded that 2008 was just a temporary malfunction rather than an indication that our entire system was fundamentally flawed.  In the end, we will pay a great price for our overconfidence and our recklessness.

 

 

 

 

Cramer Does It Again

Can't talk enough about it"

 

 

Mario Monti Addresses The People Who Did Not Elect Him Twice In A Row

There is one certainty for now within the Italian elections - Goldman's unelected technocrat, Mario Monti, did not win and appears entirely irrelevant. In his first post-election speech - streamed below - the Goldman technocrat addresses the same people that did not elect him the first time, and certainly did not do so now, when they actually had a choice to do so.

 

 

Market Plunges As European Crisis Is Back

JPY saw a massive correction today - gaining 3% against the USD - its biggest single-day gain since May 2010 - dragging all the carry traders with it. S&P 500 futures volume exploded to its highest since the rally began in November as it broke its uptrend and slumped 40 points from its intraday highs. VIX's term structure collapsed to its flattest in 18 months as spot surged above 19% (no - everyone wasn't hedged). The Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq are all red for the month and even the Trannies are almost unch. Treasuries soared with 10Y ending -10bps (after being +4bps at its worst of the day). Gold and Silver surged (with the latter testing near $1600 again) as WTI dropped 1%. Homebuilders (not helped by lumber's price collapse) dropped 3.5% but every sector was ugly today and closed at its lows. Risk assets led this downswing all day long and cross-asset-class correlation surged as the slump accelerated.

 

 

Boehner To Calm Fears (Or Not) - Live Webcast

While it appears the Speaker has decided to hold his comments until after the cash markets close at 4pm ET, we suspect futures will get a kick out of his always-reassuring tone. Following the President's earlier demands for no sequester and more spending, we suspect Boehner will fully acquiesce and agree to a pony in everyone's stocking too... or not.

Santelli: "What If The Fed Did Less?"

The prevalence of counter-factuals or 'coulda-shoulda-woulda's in mainstream economics is stunningly biased to explaining "why we're still in the doldrums outside of course of the stock market." As CNBC's Rick Santelli exclaims, we are told at every turn that if we just do more - more stimulus, more monetization, more bailouts - then the recovery would have been better by now and will be in the future. In his typically calm and stoic fashion, the igneous Illinoisan asks, rhetorically, "What if the Fed had done less?" His answer - rather obviously - is that everything would have been different (but not necessarily worse). In a little under 3 minutes, Rick explains why "the Federal Reserve has done nothing but keep politicians from having to do anything."

 

Guest Post: It's Always The Best Time To Buy

I really need to stop being so pessimistic. Im getting richer by the day. My home value is rising at a rate of 1% per month according to the National Association of Realtors. At that rate, my house will be worth $1 million in less than 10 years. Every mainstream media newspaper, magazine, and news channel is telling me the strong housing recovery is propelling the economy and creating millions of new jobs. Keynesian economists, Wall Street bankers, government apparatchiks and housing trade organizations are all in agreement that the wealth effect from rising home prices will be the jumpstart our economy needs to get back to the glory days of 2005. Who am I to argue with such honorable men with degrees from Ivy League schools and a track record of unquestioned accuracy as we can see in the chart below? These are the facts. But why trust facts when you can believe Baghdad Ben and the NAR? Its always the best time to buy.

 

 

Guest Post: How The End Of Empire Comes, Not With A Bang, But With A Whimper

When Moody's downgraded the UK's sovereign credit rating last week it was something of an anti-climax. The ratings agencies long ago lost what little credibility they ever had. Being downgraded by Moody's is like being called a moron by a moron; ask anyone who has ever set foot in a bond dealing room - the ratings agencies are always behind the curve. The UK has been on the skids, credit-wise, for years. Britain's debt to GDP has gone through the roof. We, and generations to come, will be left with the reckoning. Nobody believes that bonds are an objective reflection of economic reality. The game is rigged, and everybody knows it. But the Moody's downgrade should serve as a piercing smoke alarm to anybody still naive enough to be holding these instruments of value destruction. Get out now while the going is good.

 

 

Goldman Managing Director Snagged In Insider Trading Probe Leaves Firm

With the entire world, and certainly GETCO's ES and EURUSD algos, focused on every single update out of the Italian Senate race, which now appears certain to not bring the necessary 158 seats to the Bersani-Monti coalition leading to a chaotic revote in the coming months, here is some tangential news of the "who could have ever seen this coming variety." Following last week's Heinz insider trading probe, which implicated a Goldman Sachs account in Zurich belonging to some private wealth client, who was so anonymous not even Goldman knows who it belonged to, we now learn that yet another Goldman employee has just left the company in a totally separate insider trading probe.

 

 

Crony Capitalism And Jack 'Bailout Bonus' Lew's Voyage To Treasury

As I and many others have pointed out for years, unless you are a crony Wall Street welfare queen you can pretty much forget about any high level position in the Obama Administration.  Barack made that clear from day one when he decided to surround himself with two of the people at the core of the 2008 financial crisis, Larry Summers and Tim Geithner.  The trend is simply continuing with the current nominee for Treasury Secretary: Jack Bailout Bonus Lew.  The revolving door is institutionalized and at this point as reliable as a Swiss watch.

 

 

In Japan, The Matrix Is Now Reality As Humans Are Used As Living Batteries

Who says necessity is not the mother of invention in the New Normal. While a tiny fraction of the Japanese population is enjoying the transitory effects of Abe's latest reflating "wealth effect" policy (even as China has made it clear said policy will end quite soon), the bigger problem for Japan is that even sooner, more and more of it will be reliant on hamster wheels to generate electricity, as LNG prices have just hit a record high and are rising at a breakneck pace, and as local nuclear power generation has collapsed to virtually zero. Which means one thing: electricity will soon become so unaffordable only those who are invested in the daily 2% Nikkei surges will be able to electrify their immediate surroundings. So what is Japan's solution? A quite ingenious one: as Geek.com and ASR both report, Japan's Fujifilm has created organic printed sheet that harvests energy from body heat, or in other words, converts body heat to electricity. Finally, at least one key part of the Matrix "reality" is now fully operational - the use of human beings as batteries.

And another AAA-club member quietly exits not with a bang but a whimper:

MOODYS DOWNGRADES UKS GOVERNMENT BOND RATING TO Aa1 FROM AAA

Someone must have clued Moody's on the fact that the UK is about to have its very own Goldman banker, which means consolidated debt/GDP will soon need four digits. In other news, every lawyer in the UK is now celebrating because come Monday Moody's will be sued to smithereens.

S&P Has First Weekly Loss Of Year As Dow Regains 14,000

Today was the best day for the Dow in 3 weeks - of course. In a titanic effort to get back to unch for the week, the Dow managed to reclaim the 'retirement-maginot-line' of 14,000 amid a low volume, low average trade size ramp (which ended the day with some large blocks running through into the highs). The rest of the US equity complex did not recover as gloriously as the S&P saw a red week for the first time this year (Materials -2.8%, Staples +1.7%). Interestingly, from mid-week, gold and stocks recoupled but the USD (+1.2%) and bonds (-3bps) are much more cautious. On the week, despite all the clamor, Gold lost 1.8% with Copper the biggest loser -5.2%. Spot VIX and stocks have been perfectly synced post-FOMC and the vol compression today provided just the lift to disconnect from risk-assets in general. Equities unch, USD high of week, Treasury yields low of week, PMs down, Oil down - the magic will never cease. S&P futures closed testing the under-side of the up-trend channel - that is all.

Gold And The Potential Dollar Endgame Part 3: Backwardation And Gold

In part one of our series we discussed stock to flow dynamics and their impact on the gold price. In part two of our series we discussed how 'paper gold' - meaning ETFs, futures and various derivatives - simulate flow where none actually exists. In the final segment of this series we want to explore an important signal that could identify the demise of paper gold and/or signal a loss of confidence in the US Dollar and cause an abrupt increase in the stock-to-flow ratio and the physical gold price. Of the several periods of backwardation in the gold market, two of the most interesting and significant followed the September, 1999 Central Bank Washington Agreement on Gold and more recently during the dark days of the 2008 financial crisis. In both instances we believe the primary force causing gold backwardation was near catastrophic collapse in counterparty viability.

 

 

Radioactive Waste Is Leaking From Washington's Hanford Nuclear Reservation

 

And now for a quick lesson in government spending: in the 1940s the federal government created the now mostly decommissioned Washington's Hanford Nuclear Reservation as part of the Manhattan Project to build the atomic bomb. During the Cold War, the project was expanded to include nine nuclear reactors and five large plutonium processing complexes, which produced plutonium for most of the 60,000 weapons in the U.S. nuclear arsenal. Sadly, many of the early safety procedures and waste disposal practices were inadequate, and government documents have since confirmed that Hanford's operations released significant amounts of radioactive materials into the air and the Columbia River. The weapons production reactors were decommissioned at the end of the Cold War, but the decades of manufacturing left behind 53 million US gallons of high-level radioactive waste, an additional 25 million cubic feet of solid radioactive waste, 200 square miles of contaminated groundwater beneath the site and occasional discoveries of undocumented contaminations that slow the pace and raise the cost of cleanup. The Hanford site represents two-thirds of the nation's high-level radioactive waste by volume. Today, Hanford is the most contaminated nuclear site in the United States and is the focus of the nation's largest environmental cleanup. The government spends $2 billion each year on Hanford cleanup one-third of its entire budget for nuclear cleanup nationally. The cleanup is expected to last decades. It turns out that as Krugman would say, the government was not spending nearly enough, and moments ago Governor Jay Inslee said that six underground radioactive waste tanks at the nation's most contaminated nuclear site are leaking.

Bitter Pill: The Exorbitant Prices Of Health Care

Instead of asking the endless question of "who should pay for healthcare?" Time magazine's cover story this week by Steve Brill asks a much more sensible - and disturbing question - "why does healthcare cost so much?" While it will not come as a surprise to any ZeroHedge reader - as we most recently noted here - this brief clip on the outrageous pricing and egregious profits that are destroying our health care quickly summarizes just how disastrous the situation really is.  A simplified perspective here is simple, as with higher education costs and student loans: since all the expenses incurred are covered by debt/entitlements, there is no price discrimination which allows vendors to hike prices to whatever levels they want. From the $21,000 heartburn to "giving our CT scans like candy," Brill concludes "put simply, with Obamacare weve changed the rules related to who pays for what, but we havent done much to change the prices we pay."

David Rosenberg Goes In Search Of A Positive Exogenous Shock

And can't find it: "The reason why the past four years has been so dismal, over and beyond the failure of the labour market to fully recover among other things, is that we have gone through the weakest period in the post-WWII era in terms of growth in the private sector capital stock. We invented the Internet and spent years after spreading its applications and co-mingling the technology with labour so as to bolster multi-factor productivity. But that golden age was 10-15 years ago. Despite some really impressive stuff going on in the biomedical field to be sure,  and what Apple has done in terms of introducing its array of impressive consumer gadgets, growth in the private sector capital stock since 2009 has been the softest on record."

While extremely low volume - and famously entirely wrong about Obamacare - the current Intrade odds favor Bersani massively at an 85% probability of becoming PM with comedian Beppe a mere 0.3% - even though it is somewhat ironic that he can still muster such support (for someone with a criminal record... umm Berlusconi?).

Overnight Sentiment: Dull Levitation Returns

A listless overnight session with just the previously noted first disappointing LTRO-2 repayment and the now traditional big beat out of the "other" German confidence indicator, IFO, which beat expectations of 104.9, rising to a 10 month high of 107.4 to attempt to push the economy out of the recessionary slump (just don't mention yesterday's PMI), and nothing on today's US calendar is a fitting way to end the week, and further shows that markets are once more completely oblivious to the risks of the Hung Parliament outcome that this weekend may bring in Italy should the Berlusconi juggernaut maintain its momentum. The EURUSD and the US futures have disconnected once more, with almost all of yesterday's market weakness filled in the overnight session as the good old low-volume levitation returns. Here are the few news items worth reporting.

 

 

Euro Slides As First LTRO-2 Repayment Less Than Half Expected

A month ago, on January 25 when the window to commence LTRO repayments was opened, European banks, with much pomp and circumstance, announced that 278 banks repaid a greater than expected 137.16 billion of the 1+ trillion in LTRO funding disbursed in early 2012. This was taken as a sign of European bank stress dissipation and financial stability, and furthermore served to push the EUR much higher on expectations that the ECB balance sheet would rapidly contract even as every other central bank balance sheet was expanding. It also ignored the fact that ongoing broad economic weakness in Europe required and still requires a weaker currency, not a stronger one (however too weak, and you get "redenomination risk", etc, etc). As it turns out, like everything out of Europe, the "strength" indicated by the first LTRO2 repayment was merely a sham, and moments ago when the ECB announced the results of the second 3 year LTRO repayment option, the news was a big dud: instead of the 122.5 billion expected to be paid back, European banks repaid just under half of this amount or 61.1 billion, spread among 356 banks - an average of just 0.17 billion per bank.

Youll see Prechter alongside such other great Dr. Dooms as Hong Kongs Marc Faber ... celebrity economist Nouriel Roubini ... Nobel economist Joseph Stiglitz, author of Freefall ... $100 billion money manager Jeremy Grantham, who says our GDP is On the Road to Zero Growth ...

So yes, Prechter and his Dow 400 and 100-year bear-market predictions are in good company.

Stanley Druckenmiller: "We Have An Entitlement Problem" And One Day The Fed's Hamster Wheel Will Stop Two and a half years ago, George Soros' former partner Stanley Druckenmiller closed shop when he shut down his iconic Duquesne Management, after generating 30% average annual returns since 1986. Some time later he raised many red flags by being one of the first "establishment" types to expose the Fed's take over of the market when he said in a rare May 2011 interview that "It's not a free market. It's not a clean market.... The market isn't saying anything about the future. It's saying there's a phony buyer of $19 billion of Treasurys a week." This was in the context of the constantly declining interest rates on an ever exploding US debt load. And while back then total debt was a "manageable" $14.3 trillion, as of today it is some $2.3 trillion higher moments ago printing at a fresh record high of $16.6 trillion, not surprisingly the phony buyer is still here only now he is buying not $19 billion by over $20 billion in total debt each week. But just like it was the relentless rise in the US debt that forced him out of his privacy in the public scene back then, so it was also the US debt that was also the topic of his rare CNBC appearance today (where he fiercely poked at all those other TV chatterbox pundits when he said "money managers should manage money and not go on shows like this") in the aftermath of his recent WSJ Op-Ed. There, he once again said what everyone knows but is scared to admit: "we have an entitlement problem."

 

 

The Men Who Built America: Remembering The Gilded Age Part 1

It is perhaps time to look back at what once was. In Part 1 of the 4 part History Channel series, a new war begins as out of the turmoil of the Civil War, America enters an age of enlightenment that will change the landscape of the country forever. The growth is driven by five insightful men who will change the world forever. John D. Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford and J.P. Morgan rose from obscurity and in the process built modern America. Their names hang on street signs, are etched into buildings and are a part of the fabric of history. These men created the American Dream and were the engine of capitalism as they transformed everything they touched in building the oil, rail, steel, shipping, automobile and finance industries. Their paths crossed repeatedly as they elected presidents, set economic policies and influenced major events of the 50 most formative years this country has ever known. From the Civil War to the Great Depression and World War I, for better or worse, they led the way.

 

 

US Drones Have Killed Over 4,700

The Obama drone program has been shrouded in secrecy, but after the leaking of the 'kill list' white papers, Russia Today notes, many critics are demanding transparency from the administration when it comes to the exact number of causalities. Due to the confidentiality of drone strikes abroad, it has proven difficult to get an accurate figure - until now. As Wired.com reports, US Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has estimated that 4,700 people have been killed. As of now it is unclear how he obtained that figure, but his 'approving' comments raise questions about the accuracy of these attacks: "Sometimes you hit innocent people, and I hate that, but we're at war, and we've taken out some very senior members of al-Qaida." Graham did not offer an estimate of how many innocent people the drones have killed. Given the 430 or so strikes known about, this would imply around 10 kills per strike - but judging from the context of his remarks, Wired.com suspects, he's not counting the strikes in Iraq and Afghanistan. It wouldn’t be the first time that a U.S. senator has offhandedly revealed specific and unacknowledged information about the drones, following Diane Feinstein's 2009 gaffe, but Graham’s disclosure underscores the extraordinary secrecy around the centerpiece of U.S. counterterrorism efforts - a military action in all but name, operated by an agency that need not explain to the public how it carries out the program.

 

 

The Global Risk Landscape For 2013

The World Economic Forum (WEF), during its Davos jaunt, created an intriguing set of 50 'global risks'. Of course these are from the perspective of the elitest of the elite but with more than 1000 respondents, the results seem all-encompassing. The global risk that respondents rated most likely to manifest over the next 10 years is severe income disparity, while the risk rated as having the highest impact if it were to manifest is major systemic financial failure. There are also two risks appearing in the top five of both impact and likelihood – chronic fiscal imbalances and water supply crisis. The report covers five key categories of 'risk' - which we will be posting on in the next few days - Economic, Environmental, Societal, Geopolitical, and Technological. In this first post we expose the 50 risks by magnitude and probability, how they have evolved over the past few years, and the importance of their inter-connectivity.

 

 

Gold Versus Gold Miners: Has The Time Come To Flip The Switch?

Last October, among the various statements by Hugh Hendry at the annual Buttonwood gathering was this blurb by the man who is otherwise a big fan of physical gold: "I am long gold and I am short gold mining equities. There is no rationale for owning gold mining equities. It is as close as you get to insanity. The risk premium goes up when the gold price goes up. Societies are more envious of your gold at $3000 than at $300." Vivid imagery aside, he was spot on as the GDX tumbled 30% since then. Yet with the gold miners now universally abhorred and hated by virtually everyone, has the time come to take advantage of the capitulation? That is the question posed by John Goltermann of Obermeyer Asset Management, a firm better known for its deeply skeptical view toward Apple express as part of its April 2012 letter, and which also ended up being spot on. Goltermann says: "Whatever the reason, the underperformance of the mining shares in the last 18 months has been significant. At this point, because of the price divergence, the valuation disparity, and general capitulating sentiment, there doesnt seem to be a case for selling mining shares. Given the valuations, we are evaluating whether it is appropriate to add to the position. The negative sentiment towards gold could continue for a time, but as economist Herbert Stein cautions, If something cannot go on forever, it will stop. When price divergences like this occur, they usually self-correct. In the interim, there is a strong case that gold mining stocks are cheap and that much bad news is priced in." Then again, as Hendry said, it may just as well be insanity.

 

 

Nirvana, Creditopia, And Why Central Banks Are The Devil

Central banks are the devil. Hinde Capital explains that they are like drug dealers except they administer regular doses of supposedly legally prescribed barbiturates to their addicts. The 'easy money' or 'credit' they create is an opiate and like all addictions there is a payback for the addicts, one exacted only in loss of health, misery and death. The economic system is an addict, but that system is comprised of banks, corporations, non-profit organisations, small businesses all of which are communities. And what comprises communities, us, human beings - individuals. We are the addicts. It is Hinde's contention that central banks feel they need to maintain the balance of credit in the system as it currently stands by adjusting the money supply and monetary velocity (MV) but by doing so they merely circumvent the necessary adjustment in the economic system that comes about by market failure. If they don't allow this failure then any attempt to influence MV will only lead to higher prices (P) at the expense of output (T) in the famous monetary equation MV=PT. Sadly the desire of the State to control money and administer it like a drug has left our economies unproductive and incapable of standing on their own two feet.

Guest Post: Someone Is Always Making Money Somewhere

Regardless of whether a market is moving up or down, there is always someone making money somewhere. There are various examples every day – be it a billionaire selling a stock short (i.e., Herbalife) or a company selling a meal short on ingredients (i.e., horsemeat economics). Some methods are legitimate, and some are not. But one thing is for sure... energy markets are by no means immune to such collusion. The natural gas market is coming under increased scrutiny, as price movement ahead of the main event of the week – the weekly storage report – appears to be being manipulated by high-frequency trading (HFT). High-frequency trading is nothing new to financial markets, but it is new to the natural gas market. It has also spawned some wonderfully inventive names to describe the pre-storage report shenanigans. The best term by far has to be ‘banging the beehive’, which is where a flood of orders is sent to trigger a huge price swing immediately before the data is released. Regardless of how comical these names are, however, this creation of ‘synthetic momentum’ is market manipulation and is being investigated accordingly.

 

 

Zimbabwe's Mugabe Proclaims Himself Africa's Goldman Sachs

Since we first started discussing the new frontier of investment (or economic hitmen), Africa has been appearing more and more in the headlines - from labor conditions in the South to military action in the North. Natural resources and leverageable assets remain key as the infamous Zimbabwean 'dictator' Robert Mugabe, fighting for re-election at the age of 89, maintains that Zimbabwe's difficulties stem from a Western plot to re-colonize it. With more than 80% of the country unemployed but rampant inflation somewhat calmed, Reuters notes that Mugabe believes "It's God's choice" that he is running in this close election. Just like Goldman Sachs "doing God's work", Mugabe believes "this is a task the Lord might have wanted me to fulfill among my people...," regarding the liberation struggle for black economic empowerment. More than 4,000 out of an original 4,500 white-owned farms have been seized since 2000 under a program he says is aimed at correcting land ownership imbalances created by colonialism. The consensus is that a free and fair election will create a true democratic outcome, but as one local noted "with his record I just don't see how Mugabe can win a free and fair election." Indeed, though the jackals remain.

 

 

Guest Post: Gold Manipulation: The Logical Outcome Of Mainstream Economics Part 1

This is the first of three articles on the suppression of gold. What drives us to write about the topic? We are tired of seeing endless proof of suppression (i.e. the typical take downs in the price at either 8:20am ET or at 10am-11am ET, with impressive predictability) and at the same time, it is unfair that anyone who voices this suppression be called a conspiracy theorist. The first letter will show that, under mainstream economic theory, the suppression of the gold market is not a conspiracy theory, but a logical necessity, a logical outcome. To enforce a balance in the global fiat money market via coordination of central banks is impossible; what may be feasible is to coordinate the expansion in the supply of global fiat money. But if that is the case, the manipulation of the gold market to leave it oversupplied is the logical outcome. To pretend it is not... is a conspiracy theory!

 

 

Global Leading Indicator Shows Slowdown Dead-Ahead

While the sell-side has been vociferous about the fact that earnings are troughing, that consensus growth expectations are not miraculous, that equities are discounting that awesome reality; it appears Goldman Sachs' 'Swirlogram" - which we initially discussed here - is pointing to what we have been seeing for months - a slowdown in their global leading indicator dead-ahead.

Moment ago Wal-Mart reported a top-line miss, a bottom line beat, a dividend hike and a rather subdued full year forecast ($5.20-$5.40 on Exp. of $5.39), and nobody cared. The only thing that algos and carbon-based lifeforms alike honed in on, was the recap of the most recent 13 week period, to see if WMT was only kidding when it said that February sales, which obviously were not part of Q4 results, were a "total disaster." The reason WMT's stock is not doing to well in the pre-market is that they did not like what they found.

El-Erian On Stocks: "Prices Are Artificially High - Its Time to Take Profits"

"It’s not going away, it’s going to get worse," is how PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian warns Yahoo's Lauren Lyster about central bank policy and the currency wars that are so much in discussion currently. Central banks have been compelled to undertake unconventional measures, things they haven’t done before, because other policymakers are not stepping up to take responsibility on the fiscal side. These implicit devaluations and beggar-thy-neighbor policies force a lot of liquidity into the system and by pushing up asset prices, central banks believe, create a 'weath effect'. It can also trigger “animal spirits” – we get all excited and invest more. In terms of equity markets, El-Erian says investors are split into two camps. One camp believes that everything will go higher and central banks will succeed in their efforts. The other camp believes asset prices are going to come down to meet the fundamentals. El-Erian puts himself in the second camp. “We think that prices are artificially high, that maintaining them here is going to be hard as central banks become less effective, and that it’s time to book some profits and to wait for some better entry points,” he explains. He clarifies that this is not a “Lehman moment." But “prices that have gotten way ahead of what policy can deliver,"

21 Signs That U.S. Public Schools Have Become Training Centers For Sexual Deviancy

http://albertpeia.com/ustrainingcentersforsexualdeviancy.htm

[  25 Signs American Women Are Being Destroyed By The Sexual Revolution And Our Promiscuous Culture

http://albertpeia.com/uspromiscuity.htm  { I’m constrained to say that grammar, junior high, and high school in the suburban town in which I grew up were not at all like that; and, far more conservative, civilized, and restrained (and no niggers whatsoever). I’ve included the following previous reference/link as a matter of disclosure and so as not to appear as a hypocrite in the context of this referenced subject:  Drudgereport: STUDY: Girls As Young As 6 See Themselves As Sex Objects... { Wow! This is really quite alarming and bespeaks america’s new-found perverse, third-world uncivilized status, which is ‘picked up’ by kids who in some ways are smarter than given credit for with a vulnerable longing to please, be accepted in light of their powerless position in our ever more deteriorating society. For the record, personally, I’ve never had a virgin though I’ve been in a position to; that’s something I just don’t do. Never have, never wanted to, never would, never will! Moreover, with the prevalence of sick pedophiles and kiddie-porn, it’s not so surprising that kids might pick up on such abominable vibes. It is difficult to imagine that little girls could be the objects of such horror as, ie., Samantha Runnion ( who was kidnapped, sexually abused and strangled by a man who lured her from her front yard by telling her he had lost his dog. Her naked body was found the next day by a hiker in Cleveland National Forest, 50 miles southeast of Stanton.[1] The autopsy revealed that she died from compression. A sample of the kidnapper's DNA was found under her fingernail. The suspect, a Lake Elsinore, California, man named Alejandro Avila, was convicted of first degree murder with special circumstances in May 2005. His DNA was found on Samantha's body, and her DNA was found in his car. He was arrested three days after the abduction. Avila had previously been to the condominium complex where Samantha lived, because his ex-girlfriend resided there and he had been previously acquitted of molesting her daughter and niece. On May 16, 2005, the jury recommended he receive the death penalty. On July 22, 2005, Avila was formally sentenced to death. He is incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison on death row ). As an aside, I’ve included the following for the record as well: Though I’ve had many consensual sexual liasons with many different female sexual partners (mid-hundreds) all of whom I liked, I’ve never, ever resorted to prostitutes. The accidental exceptions included two ‘call girls’; one having met at summer beach town bar matinee and who was ‘not working’ (as it turned out the reason being she was at the end of her menstrual cycle). The other at a grocery store with her daughter which made such in my mind, unlikely. As it turned out, both were ‘nymphomaniacs’ (which, truth be told, made for quite an exceptional sexual romp) and I simplistically inferred/surmised without dwelling on the subject that they probably expected they’d have inordinate amounts of sex anyway and might as well get paid for it – of course I didn’t nor was I asked to pay. The other incident I’m including here for the record concerned an absolutely beautiful (blonde hair, blue eyes, pretty, cute, perfectly built/proportioned – make no mistake, however, I like brunettes also) girl I met at a bar called ‘the Red Ranch’, later changed to ‘Harpoon Willy’s’. At closing, we immediately became amorous, near intimate to a point in my car with abrupt ‘resistance’ at the ‘crucial moments’. When I finally, ‘exasperated’, asked ‘what’s up’, she stated she had recently broken up with her boyfriend who had gone too far in the ‘sado-masochistic’ ritual behavior they were, and she still was into. I told her I wasn’t into it  (I don’t connect sex with sado-masochism); never would, never did, never will. We talked for quite some time and she explained her ‘predisposition’ the (her perceived) consequence of her strict, puritanical upbringing and feelings of guilt concomitant with sexual activity requiring coincident punishment/pain when so engaged. I was busy with law school evenings, work full-time, and teaching at a local college part-time and parted ways without taking her number and never did see her again. }   ]

Guest Post: All Is Well

        Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. Aldous Huxley

The entire system is corrupt to its core. Both political parties, regulatory agencies, Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, and mainstream media are participants in this enormous fraud. They grow more desperate and bold by the day. The lies, misinformation and propaganda being spewed on a daily basis become more outrageous and audacious. They are using the Big Lie method on a grand scale. They frantically need to lure the muppets into the stock market and the housing market to keep the game going a little longer. You can sense we are reaching a tipping point. The system they have created is mathematically unsustainable. Therefore, it will not be sustained.

In The Strange Case Of Gold's Regular Morning Mugging

We noted yesterday the strange intraday pattern emerging in Silver price movements - the alarmingly predictable morning takedown of the precious metals when the NYMEX opens. It's a reality that we need to be eyes wide open about, as it underscores the challenges of being long in an asset that powerful players don't want to appreciate. And while it's important to understand the risks in play here (e.g. these raids may continue for longer than we think possible), we emphasize the importance for precious metal owners to hold fast with the courage of their convictions - ultimately fundamentals will prevail and gold and silver prices will rise to their true levels. So, if you decide to bet on the continued success of the status quo, your choices are easy: Get in the paper markets and go long. The Fed will be adding $85 billion of liquidity rocket fuel each month for the rest of the year to push the prices of your paper investments even higher.

But if you choose the fundamentals, here are a few important guidelines to keep in mind.

 

 

America's TBTF Bank Subsidy From Taxpayers: $83 Billion Per Year

Day after day, whenever anyone challenges the TBTF banks' scale, they are slammed down with a mutually assured destruction message that limitations would impair profitability and weaken the country's position in global finance. So what if you were to discover, based on Bloomberg's calculations, that the largest banks aren't really profitable at all? What if

the billions of dollars they allegedly earn for their shareholders were almost entirely a gift from U.S. taxpayers? The stunning truth is that the top-five banks account for $64 billion of an implicit subsidy based on the ludicrous (but entirely real) logic that: The banks that are potentially the most dangerous can borrow at lower rates, because creditors perceive them as too big to fail. Once shareholders fully recognized how poorly the biggest banks perform without government support, they would be motivated to demand better. The market discipline might not please executives, but it would certainly be an improvement over paying banks to put us in danger.

 

 

Cashin, Klarman, & Marks: "Un-abating Risks Of Collapse"

One can spend all day watching financial media channels stuffed full of self-promoting index-hugging asset-managers and be left with the belief that all is well and that the market does indeed represent our reality... Or, as UBS' Art Cashin notes today (confirming what we first published a month ago - here, here, and here), there is more (well less) to today's global economy and markets than meets the eye or rests in the headlines. His excellent diatribe today reiterates our previous comments of investing icons such as Baupost's Seth Klarman and Oaktree's Howard Marks that

"(The) underpinnings of our economy and financial system are so precarious that the un-abating risks of collapse dwarf all other factors."

 

 

Step Aside Apple: Presenting The Hedge Fund World's Newest Most Widely Held Stock

Quarter after quarter we would recap the hedge fund world's infatuation with one stock and one stock alone: Apple. This inverse-mormon love affair hit its peak in the quarter ended September 30, when a record number of hedge funds were invested in AAPL stock. This was also the quarter when AAPL hit its all time high price and has since proceeded to slump by nearly 40% in four short months. Which was to be expected: hedge fund hotels always become flaming death traps when the sucker rally finally ends and what so many mistook and goalseeked for fundamentals, ended up being merely euphoria and momentum chasing as one after another marginal buyer put their money into a stock that seemingly could do no wrong or so we were told day after day. As of December 31, AAPL is no longer the darling of hedge fund groupthink. In its place we have a new hedge fund hotel.   Presenting:

AIG, which with 80 hedge funds reporting it as a Top 10 holding (compared to GOOG with 73, and AAPL with 67), is now the stock that has suckered in the most hedge fund capital, and where any future growth will depend solely on pulling incremental dumb money in.

 

 

Jobs & The Economy - This Time It's No Different

Following the FOMC's schizophrenic minutes, we thought it topical to look at how history has treated divergences between a lagging jobs market and a leading indicator (new orders) of the real economy. It appears that since the debt super-cycle began,

the real economy has downshifted before the jobs market with CEOs finally giving in to slowing growth and laying people off soon after... of course, this time could be different - as we are sure to be told...

Stocks Drop Most In 2013 As Gold Is Crucified On The Death Cross

A strange sea of red inhabits the screens of many traders and investors across the USA this evening, and all it took was for the FOMC to hint that the punchbowl will have to be taken away at some point in the future.

Biggest jump in VIX in 2013; biggest plunge in Homebuilders in 8 months (as TOL misses and Starts were ugly); biggest dump in stocks in 2013; Gold plunges to $1565 and suffers Death Cross; USD soars and crosses above its 200DMA; and oil has frantic flash crash early on. Not a pretty day as stocks drop below the lower edge of their up-trend channel for the year and test critical support amid the highest volume of the year. The four words on everyone's lips this evening: Where is Kevin Henry?

 

 

The 'Kyle Bass' Trade And How The Penny Cost Taxpayers $436mm

It has been a few years since Kyle Bass suggested the 'nickel trade' and the idea remains as profitable for those with large wheel-barrows now as it ever was. As Bloomberg notes,

the penny currently costs almost 2 cents to make and the nickel more than 10 cents - more than double the cost from 2006. In those seven years, the US taxpayer has lost a stunning $436 million thanks to the inflationary devaluation of the USD relative to the metals involved, and while a former Arizona congressman (Jim Kolbe) tried to sponsor a bill to abolish the penny (to save the cost of minting), President Obama noted that "given all the big issues, we're not able to get to it," even as the Canadian Mint just stopped distributing pennies - saving $11mm annually. It seems, while the production process may have costs, the 100% markup for pennies and nickels remains an intriguing disconnect.

 

 

Market Reaction To FOMC Minutes

UPDATE: Minutes after the post - Stocks getting ugly now, catching down to VIX and USD's move

Bonds were sold instantly as the more hawkish comments from the FOMC hit - as was Gold. The USD rallied and stocks dipped modestly. Once that initial knee-jerk settled, stocks have gone largely sideways to modestly lower, Treasury yields have pushed back towards the day's highs as the

USD strength and Gold weakness are tracking each other perfectly for now. Unfortunately, this is not helping the price of Oil - which is higher post-FOMC. Notably, while this is clearly being viewed as hawkish for bonds, commodities, and the USD, stocks appear unphased - but it seems VIX is soaking up the equity uncertainty for now (VIX +1.1 vols at 13.40%) indicating considerably more concern than the market itself (for now). The 'bond-like' Utilities sector is the most pressured (as rates rise) for now.

Guest Post: How Do We Break The Cycle Of Higher Tuition And More Debt?

As we have discussed in detail (here, here, and most recently here), many college students face repaying a mountain of debt upon graduating, and many college graduates end up working jobs that don't require a degree. Even worse, 40 percent of college students drop out without earning a degree, but that does not free them from the debt they have accumulated. In this brief clip, Professor Daniel Lin argues - rightly - that

government subsidies are to blame for the continually rising costs of higher education. Although such subsidies are supposed to help defray college costs, they are making the situation worse. A policy that worsens the problem it is supposed to fix should be eliminated - even if it is the government's only credit inflating tool left.

Rajoy Summarizes Overnight (And Recurring) Sentiment: "There Are No Green Shoots, There Is No Spring"

In the aftermath of yesterday's surge in German hopium measured by the ZEW Economic Survey which took out all expectations to the upside, it was inevitable that the other double-dipping country, France, telegraphed some optimism despite a contracting economy and would follow suit with a big  confidence beat, and sure enough the French INSEE reported that February business sentiment rose from 87 to 90, on expectations of an unchanged number. And the subsequent prompt smash of investor expectations in Switzerland, where the ZEW soared from -6.9 to +10.0 tells us that something is very wrong in the Alpine country if it too is trying so hard to distract from the here and now. And while one can manipulate future optimism metrics to infinity, it is reality that is proving far more troublesome for Europe, as could be seen by the Italian Industrial Orders print which crashed -15.3% Y/Y on expectations of a smooth -9.5% drop, down from -6.7% previously. Since industrial orders are a proxy for future demand, a critical issue as Italy enters 2013 after six consecutive quarters of economic contraction and with no relief on the horizon, it is only fitting that Italy should shock the world with an off the chart confidence beat next.

El-Erian On Stocks: "Prices Are Artificially High - Its Time to Take Profits"

"Its not going away, its going to get worse," is how PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian warns Yahoo's Lauren Lyster about central bank policy and the currency wars that are so much in discussion currently. Central banks have been compelled to undertake unconventional measures, things they havent done before, because other policymakers are not stepping up to take responsibility on the fiscal side. These implicit devaluations and beggar-thy-neighbor policies force a lot of liquidity into the system and by pushing up asset prices, central banks believe, create a 'weath effect'. It can also trigger animal spirits we get all excited and invest more. In terms of equity markets, El-Erian says investors are split into two camps. One camp believes that everything will go higher and central banks will succeed in their efforts. The other camp believes asset prices are going to come down to meet the fundamentals. El-Erian puts himself in the second camp. We think that prices are artificially high, that maintaining them here is going to be hard as central banks become less effective, and that its time to book some profits and to wait for some better entry points, he explains. He clarifies that this is not a Lehman moment." But prices that have gotten way ahead of what policy can deliver,"

  Paul B. Farrell Archives | Email alerts Feb. 9, 2013, 6:02 a.m. EST Global ‘credit supernova’ turns 2013 bull into bear  Commentary: Bill Gross warns about Fed’s cheap-money schemes

By
Paul B. Farrell, MarketWatchSAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — ‘Bill Gross predicting a “Credit Supernova.” Yes, that’s what the “Bond King” sees dead ahead. He knows, his firm has $2 trillion at risk of collapsing into the “Black Hole” coming after the Credit Supernova, when the Federal Reserve cheap money finally explodes in America’s face, brings down the economy, again. Gross’s Credit Supernova metaphor is the explosive headline on his latest Pimco newsletter. So what’s a supernova? Jump over to the Space.com’s parallel universe where you’ll discover a supernova happens when a “blindingly bright star bursts into view in a corner of the night sky ... burns like a ... brilliant point of light.”A supernova is “the explosion of a star that has reached the end of its life ... Supernovas can briefly outshine entire galaxies and radiate more energy than our sun will in its entire lifetime.” Yes, a supernova is the “explosion of a star that has reached the end of its life.”“End of its life?” Is America’s star economy burning out? Sure sounds like it: Gross is doing more than just hinting with his Credit Supernova metaphor. He’s predicting the collapse of the American economy and global financial markets, far worse than the 2008 Wall Street bank credit collapse, worse than the 2000 dot-com crash.  As the folks over at Business Insider put it: “Investment banks have morphed markets with ‘Ponzi Finance.’ And time is almost up.”

Fed’s Ponzi scheme: Credit expansion killing economic growth Business Insider’s Matthew Boesler summarized Gross’s rather cryptic metaphor this way: Gross’s newsletter “tackles the relationship between credit expansion and real growth” where under Bernanke the Fed’s cheap-money bubble makes our monetary problems get bigger as the Fed keeps kicking them down the road. So the Fed’s “Ponzi Finance” must run its printing presses full blast to pump more and more credit into the economy “just to cover increasingly burdensome interest payments, with accelerating inflation the end result.” The problem is huge: Bernanke’s Ponzi Finance is self-sabotaging. Endless cheap money upsets the balance between credit expansion and real economic growth, resulting in diminishing returns: “Each additional dollar of credit seems to create less and less heat. In the 1980s, it took four dollars of new credit to generate $1 of real GDP. Over the last decade, it has taken $10, and since 2006, $20 to produce the same result.” Bad news. Yes, Wall Street and central banks worldwide are the engine driving Bernanke’s Ponzi scheme straight into a Credit Supernova bubble. Why? Because in the past generation more and more of the Fed’s new credit was channeled into market speculation, distorting the balance between markets and the real economy. “Investment banking, which only a decade ago promoted small-business development and transition to public markets, now is dominated by leveraged speculation and the Ponzi Finance.”

Gross warns: As a result, “our credit-based financial markets and the economy it supports are levered, fragile and increasingly entropic — it is running out of energy and time. When does money run out of time? The countdown begins when investable assets pose too much risk for too little return; when lenders desert credit markets for other alternatives such as cash or real assets,” a trend that’s already accelerating as more and more investors wise up to Wall Street’s dangerous Ponzi Finance, anticipating that a Credit Supernova will soon bring down Bernanke’s totally mismanaged monetary system, probably in 2013, months before his scheduled retirement.

After Credit Supernova will banks see the light ... or stay blinded?

Alan Blinder is familiar to Wall Street Journal readers and investors. The former vice chair of the Federal Reserve just published “After the Music Stopped: The Financial Crisis, the Response, and the Work Ahead.” His recent New York Times op-ed piece is a perfect playbook of what’s coming after Wall Street’s Credit Supernova explodes. Blinder opens by quoting Hegel: “What experience and history teaches us is that people and governments have never learned anything from history.” But then Blinder adds, “actually, I think people do learn. The problem is that they forget, sometimes amazingly quickly. That seems to be happening today, even though recovery from the economic debacle of 2008-9 is far from complete. Evidence of this forgetting is everywhere.” His list of Wall Street’s mental blocks is all too familiar. They are blind, in denial. So Blinder “encapsulates what we must remember about the financial crisis into 10 financial commandments, all of which were brazenly violated in the years leading up to the crisis.” Imagine his frustration, like Moses coming down from the mountain, seeing the people partying, honoring false idols, the golden calf of profits. Wall Street did the same, forgot in 2000, forgot again in 2008, went back to the same old tricks.

21 Signs That U.S. Public Schools Have Become Training Centers For Sexual Deviancy

http://albertpeia.com/ustrainingcentersforsexualdeviancy.htm

[  25 Signs American Women Are Being Destroyed By The Sexual Revolution And Our Promiscuous Culture

{ Im constrained to say that grammar, junior high, and high school in the suburban town in which I grew up were not at all like that; and, far more conservative, civilized, and restrained (and no niggers whatsoever). Ive included the following previous reference/link as a matter of disclosure and so as not to appear as a hypocrite in the context of this referenced subject:  Drudgereport: STUDY: Girls As Young As 6 See Themselves As Sex Objects... { Wow! This is really quite alarming and bespeaks americas new-found perverse, third-world uncivilized status, which is picked up by kids who in some ways are smarter than given credit for with a vulnerable longing to please, be accepted in light of their powerless position in our ever more deteriorating society. For the record, personally, Ive never had a virgin though Ive been in a position to; thats something I just dont do. Never have, never wanted to, never would, never will! Moreover, with the prevalence of sick pedophiles and kiddie-porn, its not so surprising that kids might pick up on such abominable vibes. It is difficult to imagine that little girls could be the objects of such horror as, ie., Samantha Runnion ( who was kidnapped, sexually abused and strangled by a man who lured her from her front yard by telling her he had lost his dog. Her naked body was found the next day by a hiker in Cleveland National Forest, 50 miles southeast of Stanton.[1] The autopsy revealed that she died from compression. A sample of the kidnapper's DNA was found under her fingernail. The suspect, a Lake Elsinore, California, man named Alejandro Avila, was convicted of first degree murder with special circumstances in May 2005. His DNA was found on Samantha's body, and her DNA was found in his car. He was arrested three days after the abduction. Avila had previously been to the condominium complex where Samantha lived, because his ex-girlfriend resided there and he had been previously acquitted of molesting her daughter and niece. On May 16, 2005, the jury recommended he receive the death penalty. On July 22, 2005, Avila was formally sentenced to death. He is incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison on death row ). As an aside, Ive included the following for the record as well: Though Ive had many consensual sexual liasons with many different female sexual partners (mid-hundreds) all of whom I liked, Ive never, ever resorted to prostitutes. The accidental exceptions included two call girls; one having met at summer beach town bar matinee and who was not working (as it turned out the reason being she was at the end of her menstrual cycle). The other at a grocery store with her daughter which made such in my mind, unlikely. As it turned out, both were nymphomaniacs (which, truth be told, made for quite an exceptional sexual romp) and I simplistically inferred/surmised without dwelling on the subject that they probably expected theyd have inordinate amounts of sex anyway and might as well get paid for it of course I didnt nor was I asked to pay. The other incident Im including here for the record concerned an absolutely beautiful (blonde hair, blue eyes, pretty, cute, perfectly built/proportioned make no mistake, however, I like brunettes also) girl I met at a bar called the Red Ranch, later changed to Harpoon Willys. At closing, we immediately became amorous, near intimate to a point in my car with abrupt resistance at the crucial moments. When I finally, exasperated, asked whats up, she stated she had recently broken up with her boyfriend who had gone too far in the sado-masochistic ritual behavior they were, and she still was into. I told her I wasnt into it  (I dont connect sex with sado-masochism); never would, never did, never will. We talked for quite some time and she explained her predisposition the (her perceived) consequence of her strict, puritanical upbringing and feelings of guilt concomitant with sexual activity requiring coincident punishment/pain when so engaged. I was busy with law school evenings, work full-time, and teaching at a local college part-time and parted ways without taking her number and never did see her again. }   ]

absolute joke that these people being questioned by Senator Elizabeth Warren are supposed hold the banks to task. She also makes the key point how ordinary citizens are constantly harassed by the “authorities” for what are in many cases petty and victimless crimes, while the bankers who have unleashed more destruction than anyone else, get slaps on the wrist.  Every single American should watch this short clip.

        “Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.”

Aldous Huxley

The entire system is corrupt to its core. Both political parties, regulatory agencies, Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, and mainstream media are participants in this enormous fraud. They grow more desperate and bold by the day. The lies, misinformation and propaganda being spewed on a daily basis become more outrageous and audacious. They are using the Big Lie method on a grand scale. They frantically need to lure the muppets into the stock market and the housing market to keep the game going a little longer. You can sense we are reaching a tipping point. The system they have created is mathematically unsustainable. Therefore, it will not be sustained.

Explaining The 'Revolting' Labor Conditions In South Africa

It seems a week does not go by without some kind of violent (or non-violent) protest against conditions in the mining industry in South Africa. Only this week we had the Amplats-related platinum spike, but it appears the split between the private and public sector has become not just better known but unsustainably massive in the last few years. In what will likely set off another riot, Bloomberg notes that salaries for public servants have increased an average 14% annually since 2007 versus a 2.7% rise in the period for all-industry (es Agriculture) in the private sector. All this as CPI rose 6.3% annually on average. As one analyst noted "it is not sustainable," but it appears Pravin Gordhan - South Africa's FinMin - is apparently unlikely to meet a pledge to limit government salary increases to 5% - to help narrow the budget deficit (as GDP is expected to grow 4.8%). This government largesse appears to be 'revolting' - and is certainly fueling the fire across the nation's labor force.

He’s predicting the collapse of the American economy and global financial markets, far worse than the 2008 Wall Street bank credit collapse, worse than the 2000 dot-com crash.

As the folks over at Business Insider put it: “Investment banks have morphed markets with ‘Ponzi Finance.’ And time is almost up.”

Feds Ponzi scheme: Credit expansion killing economic growth

Business Insider’s Matthew Boesler summarized Gross’s rather cryptic metaphor this way: Gross’s newsletter “tackles the relationship between credit expansion and real growth” where under Bernanke the Fed’s cheap-money bubble makes our monetary problems get bigger as the Fed keeps kicking them down the road.

So the Fed’s “Ponzi Finance” must run its printing presses full blast to pump more and more credit into the economy “just to cover increasingly burdensome interest payments, with accelerating inflation the end result.”

The problem is huge: Bernanke’s Ponzi Finance is self-sabotaging. Endless cheap money upsets the balance between credit expansion and real economic growth, resulting in diminishing returns: “Each additional dollar of credit seems to create less and less heat. In the 1980s, it took four dollars of new credit to generate $1 of real GDP. Over the last decade, it has taken $10, and since 2006, $20 to produce the same result.” Bad news.

Yes, Wall Street and central banks worldwide are the engine driving Bernanke’s Ponzi scheme straight into a Credit Supernova bubble. Why? Because in the past generation more and more of the Fed’s new credit was channeled into market speculation, distorting the balance between markets and the real economy.

“Investment banking, which only a decade ago promoted small-business development and transition to public markets, now is dominated by leveraged speculation and the Ponzi Finance.”

Gross warns: As a result, “our credit-based financial markets and the economy it supports are levered, fragile and increasingly entropic — it is running out of energy and time. When does money run out of time? The countdown begins when investable assets pose too much risk for too little return; when lenders desert credit markets for other alternatives such as cash or real assets,” a trend that’s already accelerating as more and more investors wise up to Wall Street’s dangerous Ponzi Finance, anticipating that a Credit Supernova will soon bring down Bernanke’s totally mismanaged monetary system, probably in 2013, months before his scheduled retirement.

After Credit Supernova will banks see the light ... or stay blinded?

Alan Blinder is familiar to Wall Street Journal readers and investors. The former vice chair of the Federal Reserve just published “After the Music Stopped: The Financial Crisis, the Response, and the Work Ahead.” His recent New York Times op-ed piece is a perfect playbook of what’s coming after Wall Street’s Credit Supernova explodes.

Blinder opens by quoting Hegel: “What experience and history teaches us is that people and governments have never learned anything from history.” But then Blinder adds, “actually, I think people do learn. The problem is that they forget, sometimes amazingly quickly. That seems to be happening today, even though recovery from the economic debacle of 2008-9 is far from complete. Evidence of this forgetting is everywhere.”

His list of Wall Street’s mental blocks is all too familiar. They are blind, in denial. So Blinder “encapsulates what we must remember about the financial crisis into 10 financial commandments, all of which were brazenly violated in the years leading up to the crisis.”

Imagine his frustration, like Moses coming down from the mountain, seeing the people partying, honoring false idols, the golden calf of profits. Wall Street did the same, forgot in 2000, forgot again in 2008, went back to the same old tricks.

21 Signs That U.S. Public Schools Have Become Training Centers For Sexual Deviancy

http://endoftheamericandream.com

http://albertpeia.com/ustrainingcentersforsexualdeviancy.htm

[  25 Signs American Women Are Being Destroyed By The Sexual Revolution And Our Promiscuous Culture

http://albertpeia.com/uspromiscuity.htm  { I’m constrained to say that grammar, junior high, and high school in the suburban town in which I grew up were not at all like that; and, far more conservative, civilized, and restrained (and no niggers whatsoever). I’ve included the following previous reference/link as a matter of disclosure and so as not to appear as a hypocrite in the context of this referenced subject:  Drudgereport: STUDY: Girls As Young As 6 See Themselves As Sex Objects... { Wow! This is really quite alarming and bespeaks america’s new-found perverse, third-world uncivilized status, which is ‘picked up’ by kids who in some ways are smarter than given credit for with a vulnerable longing to please, be accepted in light of their powerless position in our ever more deteriorating society. For the record, personally, I’ve never had a virgin though I’ve been in a position to; that’s something I just don’t do. Never have, never wanted to, never would, never will! Moreover, with the prevalence of sick pedophiles and kiddie-porn, it’s not so surprising that kids might pick up on such abominable vibes. It is difficult to imagine that little girls could be the objects of such horror as, ie., Samantha Runnion ( who was kidnapped, sexually abused and strangled by a man who lured her from her front yard by telling her he had lost his dog. Her naked body was found the next day by a hiker in Cleveland National Forest, 50 miles southeast of Stanton.[1] The autopsy revealed that she died from compression. A sample of the kidnapper's DNA was found under her fingernail. The suspect, a Lake Elsinore, California, man named Alejandro Avila, was convicted of first degree murder with special circumstances in May 2005. His DNA was found on Samantha's body, and her DNA was found in his car. He was arrested three days after the abduction. Avila had previously been to the condominium complex where Samantha lived, because his ex-girlfriend resided there and he had been previously acquitted of molesting her daughter and niece. On May 16, 2005, the jury recommended he receive the death penalty. On July 22, 2005, Avila was formally sentenced to death. He is incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison on death row ). As an aside, I’ve included the following for the record as well: Though I’ve had many consensual sexual liasons with many different female sexual partners (mid-hundreds) all of whom I liked, I’ve never, ever resorted to prostitutes. The accidental exceptions included two ‘call girls’; one having met at summer beach town bar matinee and who was ‘not working’ (as it turned out the reason being she was at the end of her menstrual cycle). The other at a grocery store with her daughter which made such in my mind, unlikely. As it turned out, both were ‘nymphomaniacs’ (which, truth be told, made for quite an exceptional sexual romp) and I simplistically inferred/surmised without dwelling on the subject that they probably expected they’d have inordinate amounts of sex anyway and might as well get paid for it – of course I didn’t nor was I asked to pay. The other incident I’m including here for the record concerned an absolutely beautiful (blonde hair, blue eyes, pretty, cute, perfectly built/proportioned – make no mistake, however, I like brunettes also) girl I met at a bar called ‘the Red Ranch’, later changed to ‘Harpoon Willy’s’. At closing, we immediately became amorous, near intimate to a point in my car with abrupt ‘resistance’ at the ‘crucial moments’. When I finally, ‘exasperated’, asked ‘what’s up’, she stated she had recently broken up with her boyfriend who had gone too far in the ‘sado-masochistic’ ritual behavior they were, and she still was into. I told her I wasn’t into it  (I don’t connect sex with sado-masochism); never would, never did, never will. We talked for quite some time and she explained her ‘predisposition’ the (her perceived) consequence of her strict, puritanical upbringing and feelings of guilt concomitant with sexual activity requiring coincident punishment/pain when so engaged. I was busy with law school evenings, work full-time, and teaching at a local college part-time and parted ways without taking her number and never did see her again. }   ]

Its an absolute joke that these people being questioned by Senator Elizabeth Warren are supposed hold the banks to task. She also makes the key point how ordinary citizens are constantly harassed by the authorities for what are in many cases petty and victimless crimes, while the bankers who have unleashed more destruction than anyone else, get slaps on the wrist.  Every single American should watch this short clip.

 

New Jersey Casino Files For Bankruptcy Ten Months After Opening; No Taxpayer Funds Will Be Lost This Time

If it seems like it hasn't been even a year since the latest Atlantic City casino, this one with the surreal ads showcasing Revel Atlantic City, opened up, it is because that is exactly the case. Ten months to be precise. And just as quickly as it came, just as quickly did it file for bankruptcy. Moments ago, the company issued a press release that it would engage in a debt-for-equity prepack (with Moelis, K&E and A&M all advising) Chapter 11 which will be completed over the summer. The biggest losers here are not so much the original owners of Revel Entertainment Group, Morgan Stanley which three years ago decided to walk away from its entire $932 million sunk investment in the bankrupt hotel (instead of spending another billion to complete it), but the people of New Jersey, who just lost another investment opportunity as some $260 million in the tax incentives that were supposed to help the project along will never reach their intended target. The continuation of the abandoned investment was the brainchild, and pride and glory of one Chris Christie who then said "the $2.4 billion Revel is one of the most spectacular resorts he's ever seen and expects it will motivate other Atlantic City casinos to revitalize their properties. "I think that one of the things that Revel will be is a catalyst for additional modernization and investment by the other casinos to say, listen, if we grow more people here coming to the region and we're offering something that looks nice further down the boardwalk, maybe people will want to look there as well." As it now stands, the Revel will only be a catalyst for further bankruptcies as industry after industry finds out what a tapped out consumer with no access to $1.8 trillion in excess reserves truly means.

Guest Post: All Is Well

        Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. Aldous Huxley

The entire system is corrupt to its core. Both political parties, regulatory agencies, Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, and mainstream media are participants in this enormous fraud. They grow more desperate and bold by the day. The lies, misinformation and propaganda being spewed on a daily basis become more outrageous and audacious. They are using the Big Lie method on a grand scale. They frantically need to lure the muppets into the stock market and the housing market to keep the game going a little longer. You can sense we are reaching a tipping point. The system they have created is mathematically unsustainable. Therefore, it will not be sustained.

{AP1-23-13: No! I didn’t watch the monkey bowl nigger show at half-time, and only parts of this year’s monkey bowl. Wow! San franny, on their fanny, should give former san fran mayor, venalla feinstein a call to send in the big guns before she bans them. Whoops…need to break the momentum of rival of niggertown favorite, san fran so power outage in niggertown new orleans…definitely hurricane katrina’s fault…riiiiight …better give nigger ray nagin a call to get things back up and runnin’…whoops, no can do – nigger ray’s just been indicted (  http://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2013/01/a_breakdown_of_the_payments_to.html   ) …Besides, this is a great way to level the playing field for the hometown nigger purse-snatchers…you know, lights out and all. Actually, I truly am rooting for the ravens, but not much…reason? To thwart this year’s egregious wall street fraudulent, manipulated ‘january effect’ superstition; viz., an AFL team nigger bowl win means according to mental case wall street superstition, bear market/bad stock market (actually, ‘sell now before may and go away’ is the apposite axiom regardless who wins). This is the last monkey bowl I’ll be watching even part of. If you’re rooting for san Francisco, be sure to where some flowers in your hair. This was the sh**iest monkey bowl I’ve ever seen even a part of! }
{ Talk about monkey bowls, after today’s rout the ‘pundits’, NBR, ‘money honeys’, etc., have been recently and even today talking up the recent moves into the market by ‘the little guy’ (historically known as the ‘dumb money’, but ‘this time it’s different … NOT!). This contraindicated, pomo’d bubble market has all the earmarks of a classic ‘sting’! (Suck ‘em in, suck ‘em dry!) }

2-08-13 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  BULLISH BLIZZARD 2-08-13 Bulls remain undaunted by higher payroll taxes, overbought conditions or much else. They worked hard to turn the week green for major indexes. The headline writers are quite busy spinning the good news. One stated Nasdaq Near 12-Year High.  Oh brother, wake me when its 5000 vs 3200.Seeing that were long I shouldnt complain too much. The game hasnt changed. On one side are very smart and experienced people who are raging at the machine. Most are gray-haired veterans who think theyve seen it all. (The truth is, they havent.) The other side are the money printing central banks and ZIRP that make any choices beyond stocks seem dumb. Thats it. As I suggested a few days ago you either stay on the sidelines armed with your experienced wisdom or hold your nose and dive in to equities. If you agree then this should lead subscribers to our Lazy or Hedged Lazy portfolios as long as the man keeps printing. If this rally persists then it also means our active portfolio needs to deploy more of our cash to conditions. Aside from more money printing bulls seized on international trade data which showed the U.S. trade deficit shrinking ($-38.5 billion vs prior $-48.6 billion). This implied to bulls that GDP data would certainly expand. It was odd when compared to China announcing that its exports rose 25%. This prompted the wise guys at ZH to suggest that someone was lying { How bout both lying! }. Further, bulls quickly forgot the horrible Productivity & Cost data from Thursday. But, this is a go-go market with HFTs and algos, many constructed as hedge funds, controlling the show.Risk assets like gold (GLD) are clearly out favor and the dollar (UUP) rallied further post Draghis comments to talk down the euro (FXE). Japan officials were surprised by how much the yens (FXY) declined which prompted a rally since so many are leaning heavily to one side of the trade. Commodity (DBC) were weaker even as energy (USO) & (UGA) prices were flat while grains (JJG) were weak after the crop report. Bonds (TLT) were marginally stronger in price.Of note was Venezuela devaluing its currency, the bolivar, from 4.30 to 6.30 to the dollar. This will hurt creditors and cause higher inflation naturally. This is a sideshow in the ongoing currency wars. Major stock indexes rallied to see most close positive for the week. Market leaders were primarily in tech with heavyweight Apple (AAPL) leading the sector higher along with semiconductors (SOXX).The weekly charts below show first the raw DeMark sequential counts for XLK. The next chart features a similar view with our proprietary trading signals for SOXX. In the latter small arrows (green or red) are indications to close long or short positions while large green & red arrows indicate long or short signals. Well be taking positions in both next week most likely…’

Venezuela Launches First Nuke In Currency Wars, Devalues Currency By 46%

While the rest of the developed world is scrambling here and there, politely prodding its central bankers to destroy their relative currencies, all the while naming said devaluation assorted names, "quantitative easing" being the most popular, here comes Venezuela and shows the banana republics of the developed world what lobbing a nuclear bomb into a currency war knife fight looks like:

VENEZUELA DEVALUES FROM 4.30 TO 6.30 BOLIVARS
VENEZUELA NEW CURRENCY BODY TO MANAGE DOLLAR INFLOWS
CARACAS CONSUMER PRICES ROSE 3.3% IN JAN.

And that, ladies and gents of Caracas, is how you just lost 46% of your purchasing power, unless of course your fiat was in gold and silver, which just jumped by about 46%. And, in case there is confusion, this is in process, and coming soon to every "developed world" banana republic near you.

 

Blast From The Past - 6 Years Ago Today...

Six years ago today, with the S&P 500 around 1460 - having risen 20% without a correction for seven months - a handful of Wall Street's best and brightest joined CNBC's Larry Kudlow and Bob Pisani to discuss the Goldilocks economy, why the bears are wrong, and where the market is going next. Sometimes, we just need a reminder to snap us out of that recency bias... for example, Bob Pisani: "We have got a global rally going on... and the important thing is... there's a floor to the market - every time, for the last seven months, they sell the market down for 2 days, it comes right back... When you are in a global expansion like this, to sell...is foolish."

 

 

Friday Humor: "When It Needs To Get There On Saturday"

We do. And apparently so does FedEx, which does so with just the faintest of a smirk...

 

 

200 Years Of Escalating Policy Mistakes

"Central Bankers and policymakers cant stop themselves from interfering." To be fair on them (unusual in his case), SocGen's Albert Edwards admits the pressure to do something in the face of bad economic news is overwhelming. The general public or more inconveniently, the electorate, clamor for action from policymakers to counter any economic pain. Any Austrian School-type suggestion that it is best to let the cycle play out is derided as heartless and defeatist. Something can and must always be done. Whether intervention makes things worse in the medium to long run is an inconvenience that can be ignored until later. We feel Edwards pain as he "sheds tears of despair as [he] was reminded of the blundering incompetence of our overconfident policymakers, whose interventions, despite their best intentions, seem to bring about financial crises with increasing rather than decreasing regularity."

 

"China Accounts For Nearly Half Of World's New Money Supply"

After having less than half the total US deposits back in 2005, China has pumped enough cash into the economy using various public and private conduits to make even Ben Bernanke blush: between January 2005 and January 2013, Chinese bank deposits have soared by a whopping $11 trillion, rising from $4 trillion to $15 trillion! We have no idea what the real Chinese GDP number is but this expansion alone is anywhere between 200 and 300% of the real GDP as it stands now. And more: between January 2012 and January 2013 Chinese deposits rose by just over $2 trillion. In other words, while everyone focuses on Uncle Ben and his measly $1 trillion in base money creation in 2013 (while loan creation at commercial banks continues to decline), China will have created well more than double this amount of money in the current year alone!

 

USD Surges By Most In 7 Months As Stocks Stumble And Bonds Bid

Keep Calm and Keep Buying. We are sure this will be the message as for the first time this year, the Dow closed the week in the red. First time in 42 years that the S&P 500 started the year up six weeks in a row... as the S&P and Nasdaq managed modest gains (thanks to AAPL's help) - making new multi-year highs as yet another high stop-run was sent out early. After testing back under 13%, VIX popped back higher in the afternoon to close the week slightly higher. However, while stocks stumbled along sideways not really doing anything - every other asset class saw significant risk-off related moves. The USD saw its biggest weekly rise in 7 months! Treasury yields dropped 6-8bps - the biggest rally in bonds in 5 weeks. High-yield credit has suffered its biggest 2-week plunge in 9 months. WTI Crude saw its biggest weekly drop in 2 months. Given the USD strength, gold performed very well (ending the week unch). Stocks remain significantly dislocated from credit, rates, and FX markets in the medium-term (all of which closed the week with a risk-off shift). Volume, amid the blizzard, was dismal today.

 

Faith Vs Fate

The S&P 500 P/E ratio is testing 15x - its highest in 19 months. This takes the stock market's valuation back to its highest since the debt-ceiling debacle and USAAA downgrade (as if nothing ever happened). Since that time, expectations for GDP growth in 2013 has plunged from 3.2% to a measly 2.0%. The 'Market of Dreams' economy continues as Bernanke's "If you BTFD, we will recover" is the only mantra left. Was it only August 2007 that Bob Pisani was reminding us all that: "improved policies on the part of those steering the economy are the likely reason we have avoided recessions."

High-Yield Bond ETF Outflows Spike To Record

We have been monitoring the shifts in the high-yield bond market for a few weeks, noting that bond ETF and credit derivative markets are showing some serious (divergent from stocks) signs of risk-off. Whether this was driven by call-constraints limiting upside potential, a fundamental realization of a shifting macro background, or ad hoc idiosyncratic risk elevation due to releveragings and potential public-to-private transactions is unclear. What is clear is that this week saw the largest HY ETF outflow on record. Furthermore, HYG's shares outstanding have plunged over 11% in the last 90 days as ETF units are for the first time destroyed QoQ not created. The rotation appears to be up-in-quality and up-in-capital structure as loan funds saw inflows - but with stocks and credit linked inexorably via the balance sheet, the divergence cannot last forever (and never has). Until very recently this has not spilled over into the cash bond market, but the last few days have seen selling pressure picking up into this illiquid market.

 

 

Friday Farce: 16 Year Old Outperforms 99% Of Hedge Funds: "Oh My Gosh, That's So Easy, I Have To Do This"

Forget Ackman, Einhorn, Bass, And Hendry. There is only one name in the world of equity market performance in 2012 - Rachel Fox, of 'Desperate Housewives' fame. With a 30%-plus performance, the day-trading debutante has turned from actress to activist as she day-trades her way through the day. The 16-year-old actress who made 338 trades last year, based mostly on technicals, ""...fell in love with the idea and the concept of being able to just buy something, have it go up, or have it go down, depending on which way you bet it and have it make you money. I thought, oh, my, gosh, that's amazing, and so easy, I have to do this." If ever there was a sign of the extreme bubble that central planning has re-created for us - it has to be this. Her advice: "you have to really just trade on your own instincts and not just be like, oh, this person says this is great, let me just go for it." LOL, OMG, IKR ;-( Our advice: next time readers are discussing stock tips with a random employee of Hustler Club, Scores or Spearmint Rhino - don't just stare, listen! Said 'random employee' is almost certainly outpeforming the "smart money", and the broader market, by a wide margin. Thank you Ben.

 

 

Guest Post: Britain's Greatest Depression

This is just a disaster - and more prolonged than the depression of the 1930s. If British businesses dont have confidence in Cameron and Osbornes policies, if their policies dont lower unemployment, dont create growth, dont boost imports and exports, dont result in recovery, and dont even result in less borrowing  (their stated aim), why do they continue to pursue them?

So Who Is Lying (More)?

Overnight China reported great trade data which saw exports and imports soar by more than 20% each compared to 2012. Of course, when one adjusts for January calendar effects the "rise" was virtually non-existent but that was too much work for the Shanghai Composite algos. A few hours later, the US did the same, reporting even better trade data which saw the trade deficit plunge the most in nearly three years. So far so good: we just have one question - who is lying more. Because unlike all other sole-sourced economic manipulated data which is solely a function of some excel goal seek model and various spreadsheets, bilateral trade has to foot. One country's net exports have to equal its countepart's net imports and vice versa.

 

China's Surreal Economic Data: GDP Is Both CNY51.9 Trillion And CNY57.7 Trillion At The Same Time

Brent-WTI Surges To 2-Month Highs

Both the spring maintenance period in the US (creating a 'glut' of WTI), Seaway pipeline, and tensions in the Middle East are exaggerating the Brent-WTI spread which traded back to two-month highs. In the last week or so the differential has surged from around $16 to over $22 as WTI fell and Brent prices surged. There is a great degree of seasonality in this shift (and typically the Spring maintenance period has ended within the next week) but Iranian sanctions remain at the forefront (as does the belief that Germany's growth will be the engine of European demand - especially if EUR drops). This year was 'different' in so much as WTI outperformed for the first few weeks - potentially on the back of the global rise in risk-assets thanks to global central bank largesse. It appears the oil market is hinting at some slowdown.

2-07-13 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  INVESTORS LOOK FOR BETTER NEWS 2-7-13  It doesnt surprise that volatility is increasing as many indexes try to take out previous highs. These levels clearly mark resistance and have been highlighted this way for the last month. The only exception is small caps (Russell 2000: RUT) where weekly DeMark indicators have signaled exhaustion. But these indicators are in a fierce duel with liquidity injections courtesy of the Feds nonstop QE operations. It was almost amusing to read the biggest Fed doves remarks Thursday that the Feds QE is like an energy bar that will drive unemployment to 7% by the end of 2013. On the other hand Fed's Governor Jeremy Stein stated today: "an extended period of low interest rates could create risks to financial stability, and policymakers should keep an eye on junk bond and leveraged loan markets for signs of excess risk-taking, and we are seeing a fairly significant pattern of reaching-for-yield behavior emerging in corporate credit. This was an admission related to the negative behavior of High Yield Bond (HYG) we posted yesterday.The dollar (UUP) and currency trading in general has led to so-called currency wars. When Japan decided to double the level of the inflation rate target that lead to a massive decline in their currency. This puts other countries on guard to devalue their currencies to maintain their competitive edge. And, so it goes. Below is a weekly chart of the yen (FXY) followed by a weekly chart of BZF (Brazil Real ETF) with the latter being lightly traded. The currency decline, due to government policy offered little help for market technicians since policy can steamroll indicators.  We were able to profit from the first move but the second move was too difficult given how oversold the yen quickly became. Brazil is quickly taking note as they worry both about inflation and competition. Yields on Brazil debt are higher but now we see a DeMark sequential weekly 9 which may slow the rise down as the government contemplates competitive easing.

One area where we can profit from currency wars is with DBV (DB G-10 Currency ETF) which shorts low yielding currencies within the G-10 in favor of being long higher yielding currencies and locking in the spread. Below is a weekly chart of DBV and youll not an imperfect 9 count since it was not higher than the high of the 6 count. This may seem like mumbo-jumbo but its an important distinction nevertheless.

Were long DBV and have been since November with some additions in January.The news in currency markets today beyond whats displayed above came from Mario Draghi and the ECB who basically talked down the euro (FXE) causing the dollar to rally (UUP). This shows the currency war has few boundaries.Stocks fell sharply early occasioned first by poor economic data as Jobless Claims (366K vs 360K expected & prior revised to 371K from 368K). This allowed headline writers to spin a larger drop in claims than was deserved. Productivity fell (-2% vs -1.3% expected & prior revised higher to 3.2% vs 2.9%) and Costs rose (4.5% vs 3.1% expected & prior revised lower to -2.3% vs -1.9%). These numbers are a poor combination of weaker productivity and higher costs. Draghis comments werent well-received either. With the dollar higher most commodities (DBC), (USO) and (GLD) saw selling. Bonds (TLT) were higher in price.Earnings news wasnt particularly bullish overall as some tech companies like Akamai (AKAM) missed with results and Green Mountain Coffee (GMCR) fell hurting Consumer Discretionary (XLY) which had been a leader. After the close Coinstar (CSTR) reported results that disappointed while LinkedIn (LNKD) pleased allowing shares to rise over 10%.Volume picked-up Thursday on mostly selling although there were dip buyers in the PM once again.

The European House of Cards is About to Collapse

February 6, 2013 http://gainspainscapital.com

 

http://albertpeia.com/europeanhouseofcards.htm

 

Where The Consensus Is... Wrong

The equity markets, despite a verey modest drop so far today, continue to hang in despite slowing profits growth. David Rosenberg notes that while many tout the +6% YoY earnings growth, once adjusted for special factors, the growth rate in earnings is a meager 40bps! So, he notes, it appears not to be about earnings but about what investors are willing to pay for the earnings stream and lays out four reasons for the market's 'comfort'. However, while Mr. Market is catching on to the Fed's overt attempt to reflate the economy by reflating asset values, he warns, we have seen in the past how these cycles turn out - and whether you are a trend-follower or contrarian, take note of the overwhelming consensus across almost every asset class right now. Dow Theory advocates have been doing high-fives all year long as the S&P Industrials and Dow Transports make new highs, reinforcing the notion (mirage is more like it) of economic escape velocity, but Rosenberg has more than a few (EIGHT)  'anomalies' that show things are actually stagnating (or contracting) and don't pass his smell test.

 

DOJ Scrambles To Appear Impartial, Says "Don't Think Moody's Is Off The Hook"

While Moody's slipped over 20% when the DoJ announced its cajillion dollar lawsuit against S&P for knowing the crisis was coming but not telling anyone, it later bounced back over 10% as investors believed the non-US-downgrading rating agency (that happened to be owned by Buffett) was too-big-to-jail. After-hours today, Reuters is reporting that the Justice Department and multiple states are discussing also suing Moody's Corp for defrauding investors, according to people familiar with the matter, but any such move will likely wait until a similar lawsuit against rival Standard and Poor's is tested in the courts. The stock is trading down 3% after-hours as sources (not authorized to speak publicly) added "don't think Moody's is off the hook." We can't help but think about the pending sequester-delaying deficit spike as perhaps, to appear impartial, the DoJ will keep the threat of a lawsuit against Moody's alive... during the entire period when the US may and should be downgraded.

 

 

CME Cuts Gold, Silver Margins

Any trader of paper gold and silver will likely never forget the endless and certainly parabolic barrage of margin hikes that the CME imposed in the spring and summer of 2011 which had only one purpose: to break the back of the relentless anti-fiat rally in the precious metals (and which culminated with the historic May 1 take down of silver when the metal plunged some 15% in the span of seconds). Since then, perhaps as a result of initial and maintenance margins still at residual levels indicative of when the S&P was some 30% lower and some $4 trillion less in slushing global central bank liquidity, the upside euphoria in gold and silver has been decidedly hobbled, perhaps so much that the CME is now scrambling to find a whole new set of gullible investors who will obediently put their money in the paper trap, only to see a surge followed by yet another mauling from soaring margin demands. After all, the CME needs trading volume to keep the cash flow flowing - killing the paper market in any one product suits nobody. Sure enough, moments ago, the CME once again cut margins in a slew of products, most notably gold and silver, by some 10% and 14%.

 

Guest Post: Four Reasons Why Gold Stocks Are So Hated

Five full years on from the financial crisis, stock markets have regained lost ground and are within striking distance of new record highs. Yet, its only now, after all the gains from the bottom have been made, that the investing crowd is starting to put money back into stocks. Curious. When stocks were cheap, nobody wanted them. Now that theyve breached record nominal highs again (Dow 14,000++), investors are piling back in. Its almost a cliche, but to make money investing, you generally have to buy something when nobody else wants it, and sell when everyone wants to buy. As a group, gold stocks are down between 20% and 30% over the past year. Yet in that same timeframe, the price of the gold has risen. As a result, sentiment toward gold stocks is pitiful. Even diehard gold bugs are tired of losing money in gold stocks and have been dumping their shares in disgust. There are 4 main reasons I can think of why gold stocks might be so cheap... There are 4 main reasons I can think of why gold stocks might be so cheap:

Now that the talking heads on TV are all telling us that the financial crisis is over, people expect the gold price to fall.

The presence of many alternative gold investments (Exchange Traded Funds like ‘GLD’) provides a means for people to have gold exposure without having to buy mining stocks.

Some investors may perceive that the increased cost of extracting gold is outpacing the price of gold, meaning that profit margins of gold mining companies may be deteriorating.

The prospect of a deflationary credit crunch would eliminate the availability of project financing, putting new mines at risk, particularly among the smaller miners.

Lets examine these in turn.

Reason 1 is unrealistic. Stocks are hitting 5-year highs, but the root causes of financial crisis, namely too much borrowing and spending, have not been addressed.

There is more money and debt in existence now than ever in history. Central banks have created trillions of dollars out of thin air. And debts have merely migrated from the private sector to public balance sheets.

In our view, gold remains an EXCELLENT hedge against systemic risk in our view.

Reason number 2 is partly true. A lot of money that might have gone into gold mining stocks has instead gone into the many paper gold and ETF products that have proliferated in this bull market.

But with gold stocks now RELATIVELY cheaper against gold itself, a reversion to the mean seems a reasonable expectation.

Reasons 3 and 4 are possibilities. Mining costs are rising, and a deflationary credit crunch could really affect production if mining companies lose their financing.

Initially, this scenario would likely put downward pressure on both gold prices and the equity value of mining companies who would see their project financing opportunities diminish.

To me, these are among the chief risks we would be assuming by buying gold stocks over the long-term…’

 

 

Scapegoating Nemo: Meet The "Culprit" For The Upcoming Q1 GDP Miss

Just as it was all tropical storm Sandy's fault for somehow impacting the national economy from California, to Florida, to Oregon and all the way to Vermont, but more importantly - giving economists a scapegoat on which to blame the acute weakness in economic data in the November timeframe, so tomorrow's "historic" blizzard will be the inevitable reason for which the economy will once again perform "below expectations." It will have nothing to do with the ongoing reign of authoritarian terror conducted by the residents of the Marriner Eccles building, which has made a baseline growth rate of 1% in the artificial economy an optimistic outcome. Because, as everyone knows, in a centrally-planned, priced to absolute perfection economy, no exogenous variables, such as snow storms in the middle of winter, can possibly be allowed or certainly factored for. Which is why expect to hear a whole lot more in the next 24 hours about Blizzard Nemo: after all propaganda patterning demands that everyone has a clear image of the perpetrator when the time comes to cast all blame on one single event and to distract from the real cause of now structural underlying economic weakness.

 

 

Another "High Volume Dip To Low Volume Rip" Rotation

Thanks to Draghi's jawboning the correlated risk-off rampage that occurred into and through the open of the US day-session (as EUR plunged XX pips) sent S&P futures back well below 1500 on serious volume. Of course, that was unacceptable and once Europe closed and POMO was done, S&P futures began their VIX-coupled liftathon. By the close, S&P cash ended just in the red for the week again - within a 3pt range of closes (1511, 1512, 1509) in the last 3 days. Risk-assets in general were more correlated early on in the dip and then de-correlated (surprise) as stocks lifted. ETFs across rates, stocks, vol, and credit held together; but the underlying markets did not play along as the USD flatlined and Treasury yields only rose modestly as stocks surged this afternoon. Gold and silver ended the day down (after a flurry of dips and rips as Draghi spoke). A late-day, well-timed AAPL press release provided some impetus, pushing Tech almost into the green on the week (as only Staples are so far). European stocks, bonds, and credit are all red for the year; US credit is red for the year; US macro is red for the year; and US stocks continue to believe (SPX +6%) - even as the USD (+0.5% YTD) has the biggest 4-day jump in 7 months!

 

 

"In Feb 2013, Fed Will Buy 75% Of New 30y Treasury Supply"

We urge readers to read the bolded section below, which comes straight from this quariter's Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee (i.e., Primary Dealers) presentation to the Treasury Department, and explain, with a straight face, just how the Fed will ever be able to not only stop monetizing debt and injecting $85 billion of flow into the stock market, but actually sell any holdings.

 

 

December Revolving Credit Slides By Most Since July As Student Loans Surge By A Record

If anyone was hoping that in the peak holiday month of December the US consumer would finally open up the purse strings and "charge" everything, we have bad news: in the last month of 2012 revolving consumer credit dipped by some $3.6 billion, a reversion of the modest increases seen in November and October, and the biggest decline in credit card debt since July of 2012. Yet overall consumer credit rose by some $14.6 billion and beat expectations of a $14 billion increase. Why? Because as we have been warning for quite a while, everyone is now piling into student debt (and NINJA Uncle Sam subprime car loans). Sure enough, non-revolving credit soared by $18.2 billion in December - a monthly record for this time series since its revision several months back - and shows that when it comes to levering up, few are using their credit cards, as increasingly more opt to rotate proceeds from their "student loans" into everyday purchases.

 

Jeremy Grantham And The Dead Donkey Economy: "All Global Assets Are Once Again Becoming Overpriced"

Jeremy Grantham: "I like the analogy of the Fed beating a donkey (the 1% growing economy) for not being a horse (his 3% growing economy). I assume he keeps beating it until it either turns into a horse or drops dead from too much beating!"

 

Santelli On The Hypocrisy Of The Elites: "No One Will Ever Take Away The Punchbowl"

The infamous Bob Rubin appeared on CNBC this morning - extolling the "nobody could have seen this crisis coming" meme - and Rick Santelli went after the hypocrisy of these so-called elites and what they did and didn't know. The glaring hypocrisy of claiming that S&P knew that everything they rated was a P.O.S. and yet no-one else could have seen the crisis coming. The crony capitalism of Geithner's proximity to Rubin's Citi during the dark days - especially considering the increasing evidence in book after book - prompts Santelli to suggest we "draw our own conclusions." From saving the GSEs to Maxine Waters ignorance and Barney Frank's slamming of any pessimists, Santelli covers a lot of ground fast but notes, with venom, that none of these 'elites' ever want to be the naysayer (due to the implications) and they will never "take away the punchbowl," and while he proclaims that if S&P goes down then everyone should suffer clawbacks, he reminds us all, "you can't fight City Hall."

 

Initial Claims Miss For Second Week In A Row As Nonfarm Productivity Tumbles Most Since 2008

As is the case every Thursday, the BLS reported its weekly initial claims which unlike two weeks ago did not estimate the initial unemployment claims for America's most populous state when the number plunged, and has now missed expectations for two weeks in a row, printing at 366K, on expectations of a 360K number, while last week's 368K was as usual revised upward to 371K. As a result, the Mainspin Media already has its headline: Initial Claims decline by 5,000. Such is life under the US Department of Truth, even as unadjusted initial claims spiked by 16.7K to 386K in the week ended February 2. In other news, people on Extended Unemployment Comp plunged by 288K after soaring in the week prior, and making some wonder just what is going on with the EUC 2008 data series for it to get such massive weekly shifts each week.

 

Modern Market Alchemy Explained: Converting Junk Debt Into Supersafe Treasurys Out Of Thin Air

From Fed's Stein: "The insurance company might approach a broker-dealer and engage in what is effectively a two-way repo transaction, whereby it gives the dealer its junk bonds as collateral, borrows the Treasury securities, and agrees to unwind the transaction at some point in the future. Now the insurance company can go ahead and pledge the borrowed Treasury securities as collateral for its derivatives trade." Thanks to the magic of FAS 140 banks can literally transform worthless garbage into supersafe Treasurys, then use that newly transformed collateral via further repo as cash to fund simple stock purchases, and at the end of the day nobody knows where the exposure came from, who the counterparty is, and what the ultimate liability is!

Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  MARKETS TREADING WATER 2-6-13 We've seen some great bullish returns from equities over the past month. It may be time for markets to take a breather and consolidate. Nevertheless, the primary stimulus for growth remains Fed QE to the tune of $85 billion per month. This liquidity has done what its intended to dopush stock prices higher. This is in contradiction to the Feds announced intent (relieve unemployment & stimulate economic growth) but they wink wink know higher stock prices are the immediate result of these policies. Its quite foolish to fight this tsunami of liquidity. You can sit out the dance if you choose and rage at the machine from the sidelines (and many are) but shorting probably will cause you some pain.That said, eventually like anything else, it will eventually end or even become tiresome and lose its impact.To discover trend exhaustion there are some useful technical indicators and tells that still may work. Tom DeMark has many useful ways of spotting trend exhaustion with his systems. These can be wrong like many such indicators and perhaps now is one of those times. For our subscribers weve been using the DeMark weekly sequential 9 counts to help us find useful exhaustion points. We raised some cash recently with weekly chart views on the Russell 2000 Index ($RUT) as shown below:

http://albertpeia.com/daveschart20613.jpg

Thus far, and still with half the position intact, were a little behind the current price. (Weekly chart doesnt reflect 2/6/2013 data yet.)Another trend were watching closely is whats happening with high yield bonds (HYG) for example. Junk bonds have been tracking the stock market well. So this can be a tell showing some divergence is developing between the two sectors as demonstrated by the daily chart view below. Note the previous lows occurred during the fiscal cliff stress which correlated well with stock price movements then. But now we see separation which is more than just a little interesting to me.

http://albertpeia.com/daveschart20613no2.jpg

All things considered were about 35% in cash in our lead trading portfolio. That leaves us lagging slightly performance as cash is a drag when stocks are in rally mode. If youre a true believer in QEternity, meaning stocks will rally until the liquidity stops, then you should be in a Lazy portfolio of which we have six currently.As indicated, stocks rested on Wednesday since there was little news beyond more QE. (The phrase of the day was stocks eked-out gains.) Its reported that 75% of S&P 500 stocks are beating earnings expectations. Pardon my cynicism, but this is the game played during every earnings season. Its the tango danced between corporate CFOs and the analysts covering the stocks. They give poor hand wringing guidance, then analysts will lower expectations and presto! there are beats. Stocks then rally, CEOs get pats on the back and more potential bonus money.There was little in the way of leadership in markets Wednesday as no sector stood out.Remember with lower volume and HFTs ubiquitous theres little the algos have to worry about especially since they generally close shop the end of each day. Looming in the future is the so-called congressional sequester which is just a couple of weeks away. Theres a political scramble to extend it and current pols are wondering why they even instituted it. Volume as Ive been indicating is back to 2006 levels and showed that again Wednesday. Breadth per the WSJ was positive…’

Why "This Time Won't Be Different" For Japan In Two Charts

While Japan's recent attempt to massively reflate and break out of its "liquidity trap" - an artificial construct to explain what happens when an artificial model, created by a flawed and artificial economic theory explodes in a singularity of Econ PhD idiocy leaving billions of impoverished people in its wake, is nothing new, there are those who are rather skeptical this latest attempt to achieve what Japan has not been able to do in over 30 years will work. And while one can come up with complicated, expansive, verbose theories based on Keynesian DSGE models and other such gibberish, why this time will be different for Japan, there is a very quick and simple argument why it won't.

 

 

Spot The Government-Subsidized, Channel-Stuffed "Recovery"

Compared to previous V-shaped recoveries, this one is not looking too rosy. From consumption to GDP, and from retail sales to consumer sentiment, the following charts show how we are doing in context. So, the next time someone on TV tells you how great we are doing, perhaps a glance at these charts will flush some of the recency bias away. There is one bright shining 'better than any other recovery' segment though... one that is dominated by record levels of stuffed channels - can you guess?

 

 

Tale Of Two Markets (Again)

The US equity market continues to boldly go where no other market is willing to go (Dow outperforming EuroStoxx by 850bps this year). European stocks and bonds (+30-45bps) are down notably on the week (and year in some cases); Treasury yields are 4-6bps lower on the week; the USD is up 0.6% (as EUR bleeds a little lower into tomorrow's ECB); and Gold is up 0.6% (oddly with the USD) on the week; but US equities are unchanged with Staples and Industrials holding gains on the week. Today saw credit markets and treasuries pushing notably risk-off as stocks oscillated around unch on the week - pushing to the day's highs into the close on the back of yet another vol-selling ramp. Equity volume was average and trade size was lower than average as cash S&P and Dow managed small gains and Nasdaq a small loss as AAPL gave back its 'buyback rumor' gains. We've seen this EUR-USA disconnect before...

 

 

What The US Government Spent Its Money On Last Quarter

The most vocal justification provided for the disappointing Q4 GDP print by the mainstream was an increase in US government "austerity" resulting in a decline in the government contribution to the economic bottom line in the last quarter (or first fiscal quarter of 2013). Ironically, both total spending and total debt issuance in the past quarter increased, which means that far from being austere, the US actually spent more, not less, i.e., the opposite of austerity. And while it is true that Defense spending declined by a tiny amount in the past quarter compared to the year ago, it was more than offset by a surge in Medicare and Medicaid, as well as Social Security, or, as they are better known, welfare. And, as the CBO yesterday showed, these two components of US spending, which together account for half of all US spending and which couldn't be funded by all US revenues even if the government spent $0.00 for all other programs, which will soar in the coming years as US society ages, as more workers retire, and as more are reliant on Uncle Sam for the payment of every bill. So the next time someone say that the US has a defense spending problem and nothing else, show them this chart.

Primary Dealers See 2013 Deficit As High As $1.04 Trillion

Yesterday we had our 15 minutes of fun with the CBO's latest budget forecast, which, while wrong as always, provided the mainstream media with its dose of propaganda optimism, by "forecasting" that the baseline 2013 budget deficit will be some $845 billion, well below the $1+ trillion deficit in 2012 (and quite a bit above the CBO's last year 2013 deficit forecast of $585 billion). It will be higher. And we know that not only because the CBO is a complete and utter failure when it comes to predicting the future (which as Rajoy would say would be "just as forecast, except for everything that does happen"), but because earlier today the Primary Dealers that make up the Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee (a topic we have written extensively about in the past), released their own 2013 budget deficit forecast. The picture there is far less optimistic: the median estimate is some $929 billion, however it is the upside range that is where reality lies, and this number is, according to the likes of Goldman and JPM (who head the TBAC) as well as the 18 other Primary Dealers, as high as $1.037 trillion.

 

 

Guest Post: Sheeple: Another Look At A Sad Breed

Some phrases are endowed with immediately recognizable symbolism.  When we hear them, we instantly know who and what the phrases are referring to, and can even gain a greater depth of understanding to a particular situation just by applying them. Throughout history there have always been people who were right, and usually a majority that were wrong, on any single issue.  Defenders of institutionalized ignorance argue constantly that truth is relative, and that they should not be criticized for having their own "opinions".  They use this relativism as a cover for their unwillingness to admit a lack of knowledge. What they fail to understand is that their opinions were never theirs to hold.  What they believe has merely been conditioned into them.  They are willing to embrace the system no matter how unjust, because their entire identity is predicated on its continued existence. We call them sheeple... Sheeple are puppets in the game of political reconstruction, and their job is to cheerlead the establishment and to drown out all honest voices.

 

 

The Great Lie Of The Great Rotation

Both the recent increase in interest rates and renewed questions about the duration of QE3, sparked by the release of the December FOMC minutes, have raised concerns about a 'Great Rotation' out of credit and into stocks. Barclays notes that the story goes something like this: negative total returns in fixed income and increasing equity prices will drive investors to sell the fixed income assets they have accumulated over the past several years and buy stocks. This Great Rotation will force investment grade corporate spreads wider. However, in nearly 100 years of data, Barclays finds no evidence of a period when rates rose, spreads widened, and equity returns were positive. Risky assets are generally correlated. The few times that higher rates were accompanied by wider spreads happened in the 1970s and early 1980s, when inflation was accelerating. In each of these periods, equity prices fell sharply. As we have been warning, credit spread deterioration has tended to front-run equity weakness (with some false positives) but never with the divergence remaining consistent as a 'rotation' would suggest.

 

 

Hypocrisy Defined: DOJ's Infamous Lanny Breuer Accuses RBS Of "Stunning Abuse Of Trust"

We had to reread this DOJ statement on today's RBS wristslap twice, as the hypocrisy was literally mind-blowing: As we have done with Barclays and UBS, we are today holding RBS accountable for a stunning abuse of trust, said Assistant Attorney General BreuerThe bank has admitted to manipulating one of the cornerstone benchmark interest rates in our global financial system, and its Japanese subsidiary has agreed to plead guilty to felony wire fraud.  The departments ongoing investigation has now yielded two guilty pleas by significant financial institutions.  These are extraordinary results, and our investigation is far from finished.  Our message is clear:  no financial institution is above the law.  Too Scared To Jail: Untouchable Banks    http://www.wealthdaily.com   FEB 06 - ADAM ENGLISH  Department of (In)Justice We're all second class citizens when the Department of Justice refuses to enforce the law.

Japanese Stocks: Highest Since 2008 Or Lowest Since 1984

Conjuring Kyle Bass' recent explanation of the massive surge in the nominal price of the Zimbabwean stock market enabling the purchase of only 3 eggs, much is being made of the surge in Japan's Nikkei index (overnight up ~3.8% and the last few months). It would appear that, as we noted recently, the world forgets (quite readily) that 'real' and 'nominal' returns are quite different. With JPY collapsing at its fastest rate in a decade (relative to fiat and hard currency) to 33-month lows, is it any wonder that the nominal price of the stocks that represent the nation are surging to keep their 'value'. In nominal terms, NKY is at its highest since 2008; in real (gold) terms, it is laboring at its lowest since 1984 - which do you trust to judge your wealth?

 

 

China Lies Says Eaton CEO: Economy Grew Only 3-4% In 2012

When it comes to estimates of China's growth rate, we could go with the local politburo propaganda which even China itself has admitted is goalseeked worthless drivel fit "only for reference", or we could listen to a megacap CEO, who actually is on the ground and whose business model depends on accurately predicting the underlying economic reality of the world's biggest nation. We chose the latter, in which case we now know that China's 2012 GDP growth was only 3-4%, half the reported 7.8%.

2-05-13 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  BULLS REMAIN DETERMINED 2-5-13 There wasnt much news Tuesday to ignite a rally but bulls are still flying with the Fed the wind beneath their wings. Yesterdays sell-off was left in the rear view mirror as every opportunity to buy a dip remains the order of the day. Sure there were more earnings which were well-received, like better than expected results from Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), while YUM Brands (YUM) results disappointed but were quickly shrugged off. Even a significant lawsuit by the government on McGraw Hill (MHP) for S&Ps ratings malfeasance during the financial crisis didnt deter bulls or the financial (XLF) sector very much. The overall rally was still U.S. centric with Europe (IEV) and Emerging Markets (EEM) lagging.Dell (DELL) took the company private with financing by Michael Dell and some investment from Microsoft (MSFT). This may mean some new joint venture product development one would think. The market is driven by money printing liquidity and little else. Italian and Spanish problems were mere speed bumps and buying opportunities it seems. The dollar (UUP) was flat as was gold (GLD). Commodities (DBC) overall were modestly higher along with energy (USO). Bonds (TLT) reversed course and fell despite all the Fed buying. Volume was disappointingly low for a comeback day like Tuesday. Breadth per the WSJ was quite positive…’

Twinkies Union Issues Ultimatum: We Get Our Jobs Back Or The Company Gets It Again

Following a brief infomercial for Gordian Group's apparent skills in bringing dough-makers and yeast-cooking perfection to the table - arguing that they are here to preserve jobs (for skilled workers who have been apparently working for below-market wages) - and maximizing value for the Bakery Union; Peter Kaufman stops the pretense of helping and goes straight for the threat. "We are here to work with credible bidders to get started right away with a great work-force; on the other hand, if bidders don't want to work with us (and re-hire Hostess employees), the union will ask the AFL-CIO to put any Hostess product on its 'boycott product' list." But "we're here to help," he reminds the somewhat stunned CNBC anchor. It seems beggars are once again choosers... as the entitled roll on.

 

 

Brace For A Stock Market Accident

Profits and leverage are locked in a deadly embrace. There is a time-honoured tradition in statistics: whipping the data until they confess. Bullish and bearish equity analysts are equally guilty of this practice. It would seem that statistical conclusions are merely an ex-post justification of a long-held prior belief about equity markets being cheap or overpriced. Clearly, consensus, notably among sellside analysts, is bullish. GLG's CIO Jamil Baz presents the bullish view before discussing the bearish counterpoint - consensus disregards leverage. In the short term, it is clear that central banks need to entertain the illusion of viable stock market valuations by pulling rabbits from a hat. But as high-powered money reaches ever higher levels, the probability of accidents looms large.

 

 

16 Reasons Why David Rosenberg's Not Buying Employment Report

"I went through the January data one last time with a fine tooth comb. I fail to see what got everyone so excited, beyond the upward revisions to the back data. That only proves that productivity has been weaker than initially thought. And the income from those upward job revisions has probably already been spent. But as I highlighted yesterday, the broad-term trends are slowing down and doing so discernibly."

 

 

Europe's WTF Chart

Much has been made of Europe's impressive market performance last year (and ongoing this year) with its strength yet another confirmation-bias proving indication that every US stock dip should be bought. In recent days a few cracks in the armor of European invincibility have begun to show as political and banking system fraud comes back top haunt along with rising concerns and jawboning about the strength (or lack thereof) of the Euro. With a somewhat split view of Thursday's ECB meeting (will Draghi cut to hold EUR down for exports or hold to maintain the optics of a strong EURUSD meaning a strong Europe), it is perhaps notable that the outlook for 2013's GDP growth continues to sink. However, as the chart below so obviously highlights, expectations for earnings growth in Europe have massively disconnected from macro fundamentals (just as in the US) as nominal stock indices is all that matters anymore.

 

 

Guest Post: Investors Beware - Egypts Revolution Is Not Over

The Egyptian government is facing potential collapse and a re-run of a revolution that has never really ended. The economy is facing total collapse, and Qatari aid efforts will only go so far. The first half of 2013 will produce only worse economic indicators and the market will feed off of this. The regulatory environment in the meantime remains uncertain at best, and much will depend on which group (or combination of groups) comes out on top after the dust settles and if April elections indeed proceed. If this turns out to be a successful power grab by radical Salafi forces, it will not proceed without a great deal of bloodshed, and it will destroy Egypts investment climate.

 

 

Subprime ABS Securitizations Are Back As Absolute Worst Of The Credit Bubble Returns

Back in 2007, at the peak of the credit and housing bubble, Wall Street knew very well the securitization (and every other) party was ending, which is why the internal names used for most of the Collateralized Debt Obligations - securitized products designed to provide a last dash trace of yield in a market in which all the upside had already been taken out - sold to less sophisticated, primarily European, investors were as follows: "Subprime Meltdown," "Hitman," "Nuclear Holocaust," "Mike Tyson's Punchout," and, naturally, "Shitbag." Yet even in the last days of the bubble, Wall Street had a certain integrity - it sold securitized products collateralized by houses, which as S&P, and certainly Moody's, will attest were expected to never drop in price again. But one thing that was hardly ever sold even in the peak days of the 2007 credit bubble were securitizations based on personal-loans, the reason being even back then everyone's memory was still fresh with the recollection that it was precisely personal-loan securitization that was at the core of the previous, and in some ways worse, credit bubble - that of the late 1990s, which resulted with the bankruptcy of Conseco Finance. Well, in a few short days, those stalwarts of suicidal financial innovation Fortress and AIG, are about to unleash on the market (or at least those who invest other people's money in the absolutely worst possible trash to preserve their Wall Street careers while chasing a few basis points of yield) the second coming of the very worst of the last two credit bubbles.

 

Gold And Stocks Recouple As VIX And Credit Shrug

S&P 500 (henceforth - under the Un-Patriot Act - to be known as the Moodys & Fitch 500 at least until such time as Moodys too downgrades the US) futures scrambled up to fill yesterday's day-session gap-down open and then pressed on to run stops to new highs. The Dow did not make new highs - but managed a third day in a row of greater-than-100 point swings and tested back above the magic 14,000 level. Credit markets were absolutely not buying it. VIX was not playing along either (though did compress). Treasury yields rose but nothing on par with stock's surge. The USD fall very modestly - not supportive of stocks. And sure enough, after running those highs, S&P 500 futures cracked back lower into the close with the Dow losing 14,000. A gain of around 0.8 to 1% on the day for stocks with reasonable volume as early haters like JCP and AAPL surged handily on the day by the close. The S&P 500 ended the day recoupling perfectly with Gold on the week...

 

 

Student Loan Bubble Forces Yale, Penn To Sue Their Own Students

We have not been shy about exposing the massive (and unsustainable) bubble of credit being blown into the economy via Student Loans from the government. We have not been afraid to note the dramatic rise in delinquencies among these loans - and the implications for the government. However, as Bloomberg reports, it appears the impact of this exuberance has come back to bite the colleges themselves. In what can only be described as a vendor-financing model, the so-called Perkins loans (for students with extraordinary financial hardships) have seen defaults surging more than 20%. The vicious circle, though, has begun as the ponzi of using these revolving loan funds to 'fund' the next round of students is collapsing thanks to the rise in delinquencies. Schools such as Yale, Penn, and George Washington are becoming very aggressive at going after delinquent student borrowers. While financially hard-up graduates complain of no jobs, the schools are not impressed: "You could take a job at Subway or wherever to pay the bills ... It seems like basic responsibility to me," but perhaps that is the point - avoiding responsibility is seemingly rewarded in the new normal.

 

No Inflation? Commodities Highest Ever For This Time Of Year

While every central banker and policy-leech spews forth the government-supplied statistics on inflation - noting that all is well, carry on - we recently pointed out that Gas Prices are their highest ever for this time of year. Of course, the standard supply constraints (or technical) reasoning was applied to dismiss this as transitory (even though it has continued to rise since); but what is perhaps more worrisome is the broad-based nature of the real inflation that is leaking into our global supply chain. The 24-commodity heavy S&P GSCI index (widely recognized as a leading measure of general price movements and inflation in the world economy) has never been as high in early February as it is currently - ever. And with global growth stagnating at best, it seems a tough call to blame 'recovery' for this inflating (fastest pace in 8 years) raw material price leaking cost-push inflation (and margin-compression) into the real economy.

 

 

Eric Holder Holds One Half Of US Rating Agencies Accountable For Financial Crisis

We urge readers to do a word search for "Moody's" in the official department of justice release below. Here are the highlights:

DOJ COMPLAINT ALLEGES S&P LIED ABOUT ITS OBJECTIVITY - when it downgraded the US?
HOLDER SAYS S&P'S ACTIONS CAUSED `BILLIONS' IN LOSSES - did Moody's actions, profiled previously here, which happens to be a major holding of one Warren Buffett, cause billions in profits?
HOLDER SAYS `NO CONNECTION' BETWEEN S&P SUIT, U.S. DOWNGRADE - just brilliant

Pure pathetic political posturing, because it was the rating agencies, whose complicity and conflicts of interest everyone knew about, who were responsible for the financial crisis. Not Alan Greenspan, not Ben Bernanke, and certainly not Wall Street which made tens of billions in profits selling CDOs to idiots in Europe and Asia. Of course, the US consumer who had a gun held against their head when they were buying McMansions with no money down and no future cash flow is not even mentioned.

 

Service ISM Declines, Beats Modestly As New Orders Drop; Respondents Complain About Obamacare

It is only logical that the catalyst that has pushed the entire market higher, that would be the "all critical" Spanish Service PMI which soared very credibly a few short hours ago, would be doubled down when its US cousin came out. Sure enough, moments ago the Institute for Supply Management revealed that the February non-manufacturing ISM declined from 55.7 to 55.2, but was just above the expected 55.0, which was enough to send the headline scanners into full blown liftathon mode and the S&P to intraday highs. Ignored was that the key New Orders series actually declined from 58.3 to 54.4, yet offset by a jump in Employment from 55.3 to 57.5. What was amusing was the jump in New Export Orders to 55.5 from a contractionary reading. We can't wait to learn just whom the US is exporting its mission critical services to these days. Finally, and perhaps most relevant, was one of the healtcare related respondents who said the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth on the issue of Obamacare: "Healthcare reform causing continued slowdown and less investment." That's only the beginning.

2-04-13  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   BEARING WITNESS TO CURRENT EVENTS 2-4-13 Before getting into the meat of conditions today it should be noted soon the format for Daves Daily will change from just a market summary to something more action focused.There would have to be some triggering events stampeding the herd. We got that spark from the eurozone Monday from both Spain and Italy. In Spain Prime Minister Rajoy was accused of taking a bribe and in Italy bank fraud is widely suspected as is a possible second coming of Berlusconi. This sank stocks there and in the U.S. I posted a weekly chart of each ETF, Spain (EWP) & Italy (EWI) with DeMark weekly sequential counts where a 9 would indicate an exit from our trading strategy. (The weekly charts below dont reflect Mondays steep declines yet.)

http://albertpeia.com/daveschart20413.gif

http://albertpeia.com/daveschart20413no2.gif

EWP lost 5.25% Monday and EWI lost 5.8%. This ripped through other eurozone sectors which then spilled over to the U.S. The eurozone is like tar balls in the Gulf that wash ashore now and again spoiling conditions. Why? Because problems there have just been temporarily papered over by ECB QE liquidity and other financial engineering techniques.In the U.S. economic data included a disappointing Factory Orders Report (1.8% vs 2.4% expected & prior revised lower to -.3% from 0.0%).Eventually you knew lawsuits from the financial crisis would be forthcoming. S&P acknowledged that parent McGraw Hill (MHP) would be facing a lawsuit from those who relied on their ratings of subprime mortgages and other instruments.
Moodys (MCO) fell in sympathy which hurt the financial (XLF) sector. The biggest losing sectors on the day were those with the highest volatility (beta) tech and (QQQ) and small caps (IWM).It doesnt take much to stampede an overbought market. Selling was widespread and volume naturally rose on selling as trailing stops were hit. The dollar (UUP) was higher on a flight to safety while risk assets were back in favor like gold (GLD) once again out of sync with the typical dollar relationship.For our part we raised cash up to 35% of our primary trading portfolio as markets appeared primed for some corrective action. Clearly you cant see indexes move along at a 5% monthly clip like we were back in dotcom days. And sure, the Fed remains busy adding liquidity to markets meaning there should be some dip buying at some point.Volume did pick up some on selling and breadth per the WSJ negative…’

The Second Housing Bubble Ends With A Bang, Not A Whimper, David Stockman Warns

Following our earlier discussion of the echo-boom in housing, David Stockman appeared on Yahoo's Daily Ticker with Lauren Lyster to pour come much-needed cold water 'reality' onto the hopes of an increasingly sheep-like investing public. Homebuilder stocks up 100%-plus simply reflects that "we are in a bubble once again." The former CBO Director added that "in a world of medicated money by the central bank, things aren't what they appear to be," as he explained there is "no real organic sustainable recovery." 

 

 

CMBS Cash Flow Crunch Looms As 'Retail' Mall Vacancies Set To Surge

In the same way as any and every risk-asset in the world, the price of yield-providing CMBS (commercial mortgage backed securities) have risen to post-crisis highs in the last few months. These are some of the epicentric deals from the crisis that now trade close to par once again. However, the last month or so has not seen CMBS prices push higher with stocks and it appears, as the FT notes, that the reason is becoming clear in the post-holiday-shopping period. CMBS cash-flow streams are set to drop considerably as up to 15 per cent of the countrys suburban retail centres forecast to close over the next five years in the face of online competition. Retail is regarded as an especially risky component of CMBS as a mall can go downhill if an important tenant shuts its store because other tenants are usually able to renegotiate their leases if a traffic-driving anchor tenant leaves.

It was just a matter of time before the most powerful crony capitalist bank in America decided to join the housing trade.  Making money running the food stamp program just wasnt enough for Your Crony Highness Jamie Dimon and company, its time to join his financial oligarch brothers in the bidding war to corner the housing market and become your overlord.  That way they can control how you eat (food stamps) and where you sleep.  Its become very clear what the large financial interests in these United States are attempting.  Funnel all the low interest crony American money, with a dash of Chinese laundered money, into the housing recovery.

 

 

Treasury Forecasts $16.763 Trillion In Debt On March 31 Translating To 105% Debt/GDP

Earlier today the US Treasury released its latest Borrowing Estimates for Q1 and Q2 of calendar 2013. In brief: in the ended quarter, the Treasury borrowed some $297 billion, $9 billion more than the $288 billion previously predicted. One reason for this miss is the build up of cash in the quarter which ended at $93 billion instead of the $60 billion initially expected. However the extra cash buffer will be used in Q1, in which Treasury now expects to burn some $63 billion instead of the $30 billion forecast before, ending the quarter with $30 billion in cash. To get there, Treasury will need to raise some $331 billion in debt in January through March, just shy of the prior estimate of $342 billion in funding need in this quarter. And since the US debt to the penny counter has been stopped since the debt ceiling breach, and is still at the December 31, 2012 debt limit of $16.432 billion, this means we now know, approximately, that US debt on March 31, 2013 will be $16,763,730,050,569.10, give or take a dime, or said otherwise, assuming a generous 1% sequential growth in Q1 GDP, a 105% debt/GDP in two months.

 

Guest Post: Too Big To Jail Is Here To Stay

Lanny Breuer, the Assistant Attorney General who claimed that prosecuting banks for crimes poses a risk to the financial sector and so corrupt bankers are too big to jail has lost his job. But the man who put him there, and who is ultimately responsible for the policy the Attorney General himself is here to stay. Fundamentally, Obamas continued support for Holder illustrates that Obama is still committed to the policy of holding financiers to a lesser standard of justice than other citizens. The big banks continue to ride roughshod over the American people with the complicity of the political class.

Civil Charges To Be Filed Against S&P For Its Exuberant Pre-Crisis Mortgage Ratings

Egan-Jones may have been barred from rating sovereigns for 18 months due to missing a comma here or there in its NRSRO application (when everyone knows this was merely retribution for downgrading the US ahead of all the other rating agencies), but now the time has come for that other rating agency which dared to follow in EJ's footsteps and downgrade the US of AmericaAA+ in August 2011 to be punished: Standard & Poors. Moments ago we learned that federal and state prosecutors will five civil charges against S&P for its mortgage bond ratings during the housing crisis.

 

 

Europe Plunges By Most In Six Months

We warned last week that European markets were beginning to show signs of cracking. European stocks had surged on to new highs while credit markets had decidedly not joined the liquidity-fueled exuberance. Sure enough a few days later and Europe in general is weak, but Italy and Spain are under significant pressure. The last four days have seen the biggest plunge in over six months with the IBEX (Spain -5.7%) and Italy's MIB -6.7%. At the same time, Europe's seemingly invincible OMT-promise-protected sovereign bond market has started to underwhelm. Italian bond spreads are 32bps wider and Spain 28bps wider - the biggest increase in risk in two months. Europe's VIX has surged from 14.5% to almost 19% today in the last 4 days and even Greek government bonds are losing their luster, -6.5% in the last few days. Whether this is exacerbated by European leaders jawboning the strength of the EUR down, or simply we hit the limit on reality amid Italian bank fraud, Spanish political fraud, referenda votes, and macro- and micro- fundamentals snapping; this is the worst performance in Europe in six months. It would seem that if the tail-risks in Europe are starting to re-appear then at least one of the legs of global equity exuberance is starting to break.

 

 

The Subsidy Addiction: Jobs Vs Foodstamps

In the aftermath of Friday's mediocre jobs report, and while we wait for the USDA to release the latest November foodstamp update which will almost certainly print at a new record high, here is yet another representation of a relationship we have shown on several occasions previously, yet which is always entertaining, and shows just what kind of "recovery" the US is undergoing. Presenting the indexed change of payrolls (green line) and foodstamps recipients (red). No explanation is necessary.

Europe Unfixed Again

Slowly things in Europe are starting to go bump in the night again, with the EURUSD down some 150 pips from Friday's multi-year 1.37 high, Spanish bond yields spiking 20 bps to over 5.41%, back over the declining 50 DMA, Italian BTPs getting slammed up some 10 bps to 4.42%, as both Spanish and Italian stocks are sharply down on the day, by 1.2% and 1.9% respectively, following yet another Monte Paschi halt lower earlier in trading. The reason goalseeked by the media for today's weakness is signs of upcoming "political turmoil", namely the escalating Monte Paschi incident out of Italy, which we have been following closely, as well as the Spanish graft scandal, in which the ruling PP party and Mariano Rajoy have been implicated in massive kickbacks, and which may cost Rajoy his leadership at this pace. Of course, none of the data above is new, and neither is France's Moscivi repeating for the second time in a week that the EUR has risen far too high, and to call it catalytic is very naive, but it merely goes to show how the manipulated market decides when and if to actually follow the newsflow. As a result, US futures are pointing to a mildly lower opening, which however may reverse quickly once today's $2.75-$3.5 billion POMO kicks in. Of course, if the Italian political turmoil drags Draghi further into the mud, all bets are suddenly off about Europe being "fixed."

2-01-13 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  STARTING THE MONTH WITH A BANG Most of the excitement Friday revolved around economic data. The Employment Report (157K jobs added vs 185K expected & prior revised to 196K from 168K) and the Unemployment Rate rose (7.9% vs 7.7% expected & prior 7.8%). Within the data bulls focused on the large higher revisions from December, November and March 2012. Those months revealed a large add to new jobs. However, November and December would normally be holiday oriented temp hires. Neglected by bulls was another 170K jobs were lost during the month. But lets not spoil the party with real data.There was indisputably good data including: PMI Mfg Index (55.8 vs 55.5 expected & prior 54.00); ISM Mfg Index (53.1 vs 50.7 expected & prior 50.7); U of Mich. Consumer Sentiment (73.8 vs 71.5 expected & prior 71.3); and, Construction Spending (.9% vs .8% expected & prior -.3%). The only fly in the ointment was the disconnect between U of Mich. rising Consumer Sentiment and the Conference Boards plunging Consumer Confidence from Monday. Which to believe? I tend to go with the Conference Board since the U of Mich. data is too heavily weighted by stock prices.It probably matters little about data frankly since theres only one real actor in the market and thats the Feds QE program dishing out $85 billion a month to bulls. You should note, including the ECB member countries, 38 countries are now engaged in QE.The choice for traders Friday was to buy the market. Are there any negatives as stocks soared Friday? Theres the debt ceiling (sort of cancelled) and then the sequester (well, bulls have time to play). Bad news this week like GDP, Jobless Claims, beating much weaker earnings, Conference Boards Consumer Confidence, Apple (AAPL) and rising interest rates are just brushed off.If interest rates cause mortgage rates to rise that may slow housing or could cause a sudden rush to buy from off the sidelines.The dollar (UUP) was weaker while gold (GLD) was only modestly higher. Commodities (DBC) were higher on the weaker dollar and higher energy prices (USO) and (UGA) while base metals (DBB) also rose. Bonds (TLT) were weaker in price higher in yield.Stocks rallied sharply and broadly with most sectors participating relatively evenly. The headlines scream Dow Closes Above 14,000 for the First Time Since October 2007. Missing from that line is the bear market that followed.Volume, despite all the bullish hoopla, was still light as we revert to perhaps the old normal volume from 2006. Breadth per the WSJ was quite positive…’

Kyle Bass Tells 'Nominal' Stock Market Cheerleaders: Remember Zimbabwe

Amid the euphoria of today's crossing of the Dow's Maginot Line at 14,000, Kyle Bass provided a few minutes of sanity this morning in an interview with CNBC's Gary Kaminsky. Bass starts by reflecting on the ongoing (and escalating) money-printing (or balance sheet expansion as we noted here) as the driver of stock movements currently and would not be surprised to see them move higher still (given the ongoing printing expected). However, he caveats that nominally bullish statement with a critical point, "Zimbabwe's stock market was the best performer this decade - but your entire portfolio now buys you 3 eggs" as purchasing power is crushed. Investors, he says, are "too focused on nominal prices" as the rate of growth of the monetary base is destroying true wealth. Bass is convinced that cost-push inflation is coming (as the velocity of money will move once psychology shifts) and investors must not take their eye off the insidious nature of underlying inflation - no matter what we are told by the government (as they will always lie when its critical). Own 'productive assets', finance them at low fixed rates (thank you Ben), and finally, on HLF, don't bet against Dan Loeb.

 

 

5% Correction Sell Signal Triggered... Just Like In January 2011

We previously explained the obvious similarities (with stocks, bonds, and leveraged positions) with the current period in the market and the end of 2010 and start of 2011 period. Much is once again being made of the 'flows' as $18.8bn (the 3rd largest on record - since 1992) pushed into equities. Retail also bought long-only equities for the fourth straight week ($2.7bn), and $12.2bn was added via ETFs, but the significance of the flows has triggered a "sell" signal for the traders at BofAML. The last time such a sell-signal was triggered was, ironically, late January 2011 - which was followed by an 8% correction. Their Global Flow Trading Rule (based on flows breaking 0.5% of AUM) on average has led to a 5% correction in global stocks over the subsequent 4-5 weeks. Different, this time?

Bearish VIX Positioning Near Record, As Russell 2000 Non-Commercial Longs At All Time High

There were two quite notable pieces of information in today's Committment of Traders weekly update: on one hand, the net non-commercial spec position in VIX futures just plunged by 16,222 contracts to 104,284. This was just shy of the all time low net VIX spec position hit in early December, and means bets that the VIX will continue plunging lower will likely set a new record next week.  It could also mean that courtesy of the reflexivity of the market, in which the underlying is driven by its synthetic derivative (for a detailed explanation of how that works just ask Bruno Iskil and how massively mispriced various IG credits were thanks to his whale trade in IG9), the VIX itself is being pushed around by the VIX futures itself. That the dramatic move lower in the VIX futures began with the appointment of Simon Potter as head of the NY Fed's trading desk is perhaps not surprising.

 

 

China's Broken Shock Absorber

Analysts whove only started paying attention to the country in the last decade often seem convinced that China has no real business cycle, or a very mild one, that because its economy is centrally planned, its free from the fluctuations in investment that cause booms and recessions in countries that lack the scientific guidance of a Leninist single-party state. This convenient belief, however, is mostly an artifact of the period over which theyve been observing its economy. The boom of the early 1990s wasnt followed by the usual bust. Instead, after a fairly mild slowdown, another boom period began towards the end of the decade, without the usual deep cyclical trough between expansions. However, this anomaly suggests that it is unlikely to be repeated. Were probably living, now, with a China thats back to the sort of violent swings in economic activity, and repeated struggles with inflation, that have been characteristic of most of its recent history. To understand why, its necessary to understand DeWeaver's explanation of the nature of the cycle itself.

 

 

Morgan Stanley On Europe: "We're Getting Worried"

We have noted the similarities between the current risk rally and previous years but Morgan Stanley's Laurence Mutkin is "getting worried" that investors expect the second half of this year to be different (and consistently bullish). Much of the current risk-on rally around the world was sparked by Draghi's "whatever it takes" moment theoretically reducing the downside tail-risk in Europe. Well, systemic risk in Europe is now at recent lows and just as in 1H12 and 1H 11, core yields are rising notably, peripheral spreads compressing, money-market curves are steepening, and 2s5s10s cheapening. Of course, he notes, 2013 is different from previous years (OMT for example) but much rests on how ECB's Draghi responds to the recent (LTRO-repayment-driven) rise in EONIA forwards. Albert Einstein reportedly said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Applying that to the European bond market - for the third time running, the year has opened well but it would be insane to expect a different outcome (than the typically bearish reversion) this time?

 

 

Japans Demographic Disaster

Projections by the Japanese government indicate that if the current trend continues, the population of Japan will decline from its current 127.5 million to 116.6 million in 2030, and 97 million in 2050. This is truly astonishing and puts Japan at the forefront of uncharted demographic territory; but it is territory that many other industrial countries also are beginning to enter as well. Obviously, only time will tell.  But Japan is faced with an unprecedented population challenge that will have social, economic, and political consequences over the next centuryconsequences that will not only affect Japan, but also influence Japans trading partners as well as its political and military allies. There is, perhaps, no single variable in the complex web of East Asian politics more uncertain in terms of how it may influence future relations throughout the region than the fate of Japans population.

 

 

 

It's Deja Vu, All Over Again: This Time Is... Completely The Same

It was the deep of winter... CNBC was talking about "animal spirits", had just touted "the best January in 14 years", was quoting Raymond James' Jeff Saut as saying that "The market "is amazingly resilient, and is no longer overbought" and desperately doing everything it could to get retail back into stocks, and was succeeding: retail inflows into stocks were surging and seemed unstoppable... The Chicago PMI had just printed at its highest level in decades... the VIX was dropping fast... Stocks were soaring... Bonds were sliding... NYSE margin debt had just risen to the highest level since 2008... A few brief months earlier the Fed had unleashed a new, massive round of unsterilized bond buying...  Bank of America was blaring about the "great rotation" for stocks, and yes - just shortly prior "global currency warfare" had broken out. 

Name the year?

 

 

Dow Closes Over 14,000 - Highest Close Since October 2007

While the close was not exactly bullish (just look at HY credit, volatility, and homebuilders), the only thing that matters is - Dow 14,000. The highest close since 10/12/2007. Since that time, 10Y Treasury yields have dropped from 4.68% to today's 2.03% - the first close above 2.00% since early April 2012. Risk-assets spent the day catching up to equity's early lead and recoupled into the close. Some modest after-hours weakness to the shine off an otherwise exuberant day as Treasuries snapped lower in yield on NFP and spent the rest of the day surging higher in yield to end the week +6 to 8bps. Silver gained 2% on the week - beating stocks, as the USD dropped 0.7% (almost equal to Gold's gain). With stocks unch from Oct 07, perhaps it is worth reflecting on Gas prices being up 58% since then... but that would spoil the party... and by the way from 10/12/2007...Bonds +28.5%

RANsquawk Weekly Wrap - 1st February 2013

 

Santelli & Bianco Crush Conventional Wisdom

With Dow at 14,000 and rates rising, those that need to take commissions and get their ratings up are seeing the 'conventional wisdom' seemingly proved right. However, Rick Santelli does not see it quite as clearly. Bianco Research's James Bianco joins Santelli for what they call 'mythbusting' as the two skeptics rightfully expose the unreality of the 'fiscal cliff' fears, the untruth that is the 'Great Rotation' due to tax concerns ahead of the fiscal cliff, and dismal performance of the Fed's failed forecast ranges. As extreme monetary policy continues (crisis-mode) - seemingly in absolute opposition to what the talking heads will say about jobs and the economy - Santelli and Bianco conclude that "right now the market is not bothered by [the Fed setting rates], but at some point it might be, Trust Capitalism" as they reiterate the need for Market Forces to be allowed to act. 3 minutes well spent.

 

 

These 10 Companies Have Contributed Over 90% Of The S&P 500 Earnings Beat Upside

While Q4 earnings are sagging notably (as we pointed out here - 8% lower than pre-earnings-season expectations), the incessant ratcheting down of the expectations as the season progresses enables an ever-more-desperate sell-side to opine on the eventual 'beat' that evolves from a lower and lower bar. As Morgan Stanley's Adam Parker notes, however, the results have been massively top-heavy as the largest 10 earnings beats have contributed over 90% of the S&P 500 uspide in aggregate earnings. MSFT and JPM alone account for 50% of that beat. But with guidance plunging, Parker sees 2013 consensus estimates of $112 massively out of line with reality.

 

 

Friday Tragicomedy: Former Fed Advisor Urges Fed To Buy More, "A Lot More" ... $30 Trillion More

While we can only hope the following screed posted in an otherwise serious BusinessWeek, by David Kemper, CEO of Commerce Bankshare, and more importantly, a former president of the Federal Advisory Council of the Federal Reserve and thus indicative of the kind of "advice" the Fed receives, is a joke we have a very nagging feeling that the text below is actually serious. Which is why instead of Friday humor, we have decided to err on the side of caution and call this segment Friday tragicomedy. Because with a statement such as the following: "Why not expand the Fed balance sheet exponentially, from its current $3 trillion to $33 trillion... Would $30 trillion in extra buying power be inflationary when our entire current GDP is only about $15 trillion? Maybe, maybe notbut we need a game-changer here. First lets celebrate the Feds record profits and its contribution to reducing our deficit. Then lets seize the moment to do something truly grand: eliminate that stubborn deficit. We have the tools, and I, for one, say lets give it a try."... it shows that the idiotic trillion dollar coin, Sheila Bair's farcical suggestion to let every American borrow $10 million from the Fed at zero rates, or even our suggestion from a year ago that the government build a Death Star, may appear as sheer genius in comparison to what else the Fed may be considering, and implement, before all this is said and done.

 

 

 

Advice From The Department Of Homeland Security: "If Attacked By A Shooter, Grab Some Scissors"

We first heard about this from a New York Post article on the topic.  Then we watched the video for ourselves.  It’ll make you want to defund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) immediately.  While the whole “grab scissors” to defend oneself during a mass shooting is pretty amusing, the more disturbing part is that 90% of the video just consists of people on their knees in cubicles cowering in fear or running panicked with their hands in the air.  All the while police in black uniforms and “assault weapons” race in to save the day!  The video is a great representation of how the DHS views the citizenry.  Feeble, helpless, pathetic little children.  You’ve gotta watch it for yourself!

 

Q4 Earnings Season Will Be The Worst Of 2012: Earnings Set To Decline 1% Over Prior Year

One can stretch and spin the Q4 earnings reality to suit their particular sales pitch, or one can look at the facts. And the facts, as we first showed a week ago in "Q4 Earnings Season: Far Worse Than Most Suspect", is that before the start of Q4 earnings, the S&P 500 was expected to make $25.51 in earnings. Three weeks later, after half the companies had reported, the number declined to $24.03, with some $9.70 of actual reported earnings and the balance estimated. Now, a week later, the latest revision shows even more deterioration in earnings, which with 66% of companies my market cap reporting are now just $23.48, 8% lower than the estimate at the start of earnings season, with under $10 of earnings left in estimated EPS and the balance already in the books. As Goldman explains what this means for earnings on a year over year basis: "Our interim revised 4Q 2012 EPS estimate is now $23.48 implying negative 1% growth versus 4Q 2011 ($23.73)."

 

ISM Beats Expectations On Surge In Inventories

While the baffle with BS theme was strong earlier, when the UMich consumer confidence soared, rejecting the plunge in the consumer confidence tracked by the Conference Board, contrary to our expectations, the manufacturing ISM did not do a "China", which last night was reported to have grown and ungrown at the same time, did not drop to disprove yesterday's Chicago PMI and instead soared to 53.1 from 50.2, well above the expectations of a 50.7 print, and above the highest Wall Street estimate. This was the biggest beat of expectations in 16 months, and was driven by virtually every series rising except for Exports and Deliveries, but mostly by a surge in Inventories, which soared from 43 to 51.

 

How Today's "Strong" Jobs Report Led To 115,000 Job Losses

While it is enticing to fall for the same old trick of reading the "quantitative", or headline, jobs data, driven entirely by the Establishment Survey, which as the BLS itself showed today, is nothing but mere noise based on seasonal adjustments and population estimates which is revised at least once a year based on new and improved exit assumptions, below we show the actual unvarnished truth contained in today's jobs reports. Recall that in our pre-NFP post we pointed out something critical: "an even more disturbing trend is the conversion of America into a gerontocratic worker society, where the bulk of jobs are handed out to those 55 and over, which puts all young workers, not to mention college graduates, at a major disadvantage relative to far more experienced older workers." And sure enough, a quick update of the jobs by age-group change in January based on Household Survey data, the same data that showed that the unemployment rate actually rose from 7.8% to 7.9% (to give Bernanke more runway for QEternity as we predicted in December) shows that in the past month, 115,000 jobs were.... lost?

 

157,000 Jobs Added In January, Unemployment Rate At 7.9%

The goldilocks economy continues as January nonfarm payrolls number comes in right as expected, or 157,000, a tiny miss to expectations of 165,000, down from the upwardly revised 196,000 (was 155,000 previously), leading to an unemployment rate of 7.9%, higher than the 7.8% expected. The seasonal adjustment for January was in line with expectations, or 2.120 million, as the actual decline in jobs December to January was a whopping 2.84 million. The NSA Birth/Death adjustment subtracted some 314K jobs in January.

1-31-13 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  LIMPING TO JANUARY FINISH LINE 1-31-13 Wow! Two days of consecutive declines is a record for declines in January. There was enough uncertainty in data to give bears an excuse to take some profits before the big Employment Report Friday as February begins. Economic data was plentiful to end the month. Challenger Job cuts were higher (40K vs 32K prior); Jobless Claims spiked (368K vs 350K expected & prior 330K); Personal Income soared (2.6% vs .7% expected & prior .6% on bonuses and one time dividends to beat higher taxes); Personal Spending missed and was lower (.2% vs .3% expected & prior .4%); Employment Cost Index was as expected (.5% vs .5% expected & prior . 4%); the important Chicago PMI exploded higher (56.1 vs 50.1 expected & prior 51.6); and, lastly Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index fell (-37.5 vs prior -36.4).So good and bad news all things considered. The labor news was negative with the Employment Report on tap for Friday where 160K jobs are expected. At the same time, the bad news is good theme continues meaning the Fed will continue to print money to theoretically boost employment. But thats not going to happen and is not the intentspiking stock prices is Fed job one. Earnings news featured Facebook (FB) which fell sharply initially and then recovered as mobile ad sales grew although headline earnings disappointed. Viacom (VIA) rep orted an earnings beat and the shares rose by roughly 2%. Qualcomm (QCOM) reported good earnings and the stock rose over 4% affecting tech (XLK) overall and networking (IGN). UPS shares slid over 2% as earnings and guidance disappointed affecting transports (IYT).  To date reported earnings have risen nearly 3.7% with nearly 70% of reports beating analysts expectations. As we mentioned yesterday this is the game CFOs and analysts playguide estimates lower, then beat lifting shares. How investors swallow this monkey business is beyond belief.Overseas the big news is Spanish Prime Minister Rajoy is being implicated in corruption charges which drove Spanish stocks (EWP) lower. Are you shocked theres corruption in the eurozone? Its okay, no need to answer and were off to the next scandal. By the way, has anyone seen MFs Corzine lately? Where are the perp walks for some of our prominent financial CEOs like, oh, I dont know, Fannie Maes Raines or Countrywides Mozilo and etc? How quickly we forget in this 24/7 news cycle.

Does this news take Teo off the front page then.The dollar (UUP) was weak once again but this didnt move gold (GLD) higher as it fell. Other commodities (DBC) were boosted by oil (USO) and gas (UGA) for example. Bonds (TLT) rebounded off support. Leading stocks lower to close out the month were defense oriented sectors Boeing (BA) and United Technologies (UTX) and ETF (PPA).

Guest Post: The Linchpin Lie: How Global Collapse Will Be Sold To The Masses

The globalists have stretched the whole of the world thin.  They have removed almost every pillar of support from the edifice around us, and like a giant game of Jenga, are waiting for the final piece to be removed, causing the teetering structure to crumble.  Once this calamity occurs, they will call it a random act of fate, or a mathematical inevitability of an overly complex system.  They will say that they are not to blame.  That we were in the midst of recovery.  That they could not have seen it coming. Their solution will be predictableThey will state that in order to avoid such future destruction, the global framework must be simplified, and what better way to simplify the world than to end national sovereignty, dissolve all borders, and centralize nation states under a single economic and political ideal?

 

 

The Tearing Of Europe's Social Fabric

We have long-discussed the growing concerns of a rising level of social unrest in Europe. Our go-to chart has been youth unemployment - and it still reigns supreme as the scariest chart for European leaders (no matter what they publically claim). JPMorgan's Michael Cembalest shares our concern as he opines on the potential for a tear in the social fabric in Europe. While there may be increasing cracks in the social fabric, so far, concrete political manifestations have been limited. Could it be that the social fabric in Europe is stronger than many perceive it to be, and that 'Europeanization' has advanced a lot since 1992? Perhaps; but Michael is equally tempted to believe that Europeans simply recognize the financial and economic dangers of immediate dissolution, and remember the words of Benjamin Franklin: We must all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately!

 

 

The Fed's Ten Year-Equivalent Holdings Hit A Record 29% Of The Entire Treasury Market

With the Fed purchasing $45 billion in Treasury securities across the curve each month, keeping a consistent picture of Ben Bernanke's consolidated, risk-adjusted holdings can be somewhat problematic: the best way to do this is to represent the Fed's $3 trillion balance sheet, of which $1.7 trillion is in Treasurys, in the form of ten year equivalents. A ten-year equivalent is the amount of 10-year notes that must be held by the Fed in order to remove the same amount of interest rate risk from the market as its current holdings. This allows for a uniform representation that eliminates the duration variance along the curve. Looked in this light it may come as a surprise to some that as of this moment, the Fed now owns some 29% of the entire amount of marketable ten-year equivalents outstanding in the entire US bond market.

 

 

Santelli To Forecasting 'Fail' Fed: "Let Market Forces Reign"

While cogitating on yesterday's weak GDP print, CNBC's Rick Santelli confirmed his view that forecasting is complex (at best) and impossible (most likely). The 2010 view of the Fed was that 2012 growth would be 3.5-4% - quite a destructive miss as it turned out; and while Santelli is not attacking the Fed for its ridiculously bad forecasts, he makes a critical point. Forecasting such a massively complex and dynamic system as the global economy is foolhardy but attempting to control a few of the pieces (and not all of the pieces - which is akin to herding cats) is insane. His suggestion, "maybe [the Fed] should look at what has worked in the past; that is market forces." Indeed, two minutes of sanity...

 

 

S&P Clings To Best January Since 1989; Credit Ends Wider

From the close on Dec 28th (pre-fiscal-cliff), the Dow is up over 7% (for its best January since 1994), the long bond is down 3.3% in price, gold is up marginally and the USD is down marginally. From around November 2012, the current in stocks is eerily reminiscent of the same run from November 2011's dip and co-ordinated easing. It would appear that if 2011/2 was the world normalizing to ZIRP, 2012/3 is the world's central banks fighting currency wars with their ever-expanding balance sheets (and while Europe won last year in stocks, the ECB's fading balance sheet is leading its stocks to underperform a renewed Fed expansion). Credit markets are notably not buying this risk-on move (and nor is VIX) in January but JPY-cross-based carry is leading the way, so the world better hope that no one doubts the BoJ's ability top unilaterally 'win' the currency wars. Energy and Healthcare are the month's winners as JPY loses 6.4% on the month and EUR gains 2.7% against the USD. ES clung to VWAP into the close. with a second down day in a row

 

 

Treasury Curve Compression Implies January Jubilance In Stocks Overdone

Despite the modest weakness in the long-bond, that so many herald as the next coming of the Great Rotation meme, it would appear that the longer-end of the Treasury bond term-structure actually flattened quite notably since the start of the year. Whether this bear-flattening reflects less extreme long-term concern of hyperinflation (small odds but high impact at long-end), mid-curve-based hedging (January was a massive IG issuance month and MBS convexity concerns are growing), or lower long-term growth/inflation expectations is unclear. But given the Fed's foot on the throat of the short-to-medium-term Treasury term-structure, the longer-end remains a marginally 'free' market and based on the chart below implies equities are well ahead of themselves as we draw a line under January 2013.

 

 

Syria Threatens "Surprise" Response To Israel Air Raid; Iran And Russia Pile In

In the aftermath of yesterday's surprising attack by Israel on Syrian soil, an act which any prior justification notwithstanding is a clear act of war sovereign aggression, it was only a matter of time before Syria responded, at least diplomatically at first. And as we also noted yesterday that "Iran has previously warned that any attack on Syria is the same as an attack on Iran" it was safe to assume that Iran would have a thing or two to say in response as well. Earlier today they did just that, with Syria warning that a "surprise" response to the Israel attack is forthcoming, while the "Iranian deputy foreign minister Hossein Amir Abdullahian said the attack "demonstrates the shared goals of terrorists and the Zionist regime... It is necessary for the sides which take tough stances on Syria to now take serious steps and decisive stances against this aggression by Tel Aviv and uphold criteria for security in the region." Finally yesterday we wondered "how Russia and/or China which have made clear that Syria is a strategic geopolitical center for both in the past will react", and today we know: "Russia, which has blocked Western efforts to put pressure on Syria at the United Nations, said that any Israeli air strike would amount to unacceptable military interference." So far nothing from China, which has in the past let Russia be its proxy on Syrian matters.

 

 

Short-Term Palliatives And The 5 Terrible Tendencies Of Government

"Absent an immediate crisis - and sometimes in the face of one - governments will often struggle to meet great challenges. The short-term palliatives we are currently pursuing go against everything a long-term oriented society should aspire to achieve. Growing entitlements are popular with voters and with those whom they elect, for obvious reasons: because the bill never seems to come due. But come due it will. Our spending is completely out of control, and, as of now, it seems as if the situation will have to become calamitous before we act. Lets hope that it wont then be too late."

Art Cashin's 65-Year-Old Reason We Are Heading Into Recession

Stocks have slipped, precious metals have round-tripped, and the FOMC did nothing to save us but nevertheless the world's analysts and economists came to the rescue of yesterday's negative GDP growth print yammering over a never-ending series of reasons why ignoring the bad parts, it was great. UBS' Art Cashin, as always, cuts through all the spin as he notes, while most of headlines concentrated on the 4th Quarter GDP, it did give us a look at the annual GDP for 2012 at about 1.5% (not the 4% growth that was the Fed's projection, he snarks); and it is that 1.5% growth rate that has a 65-year history of concerning implications...

 

Guest Post: Why We Cannot Print/Borrow/Spend Our Way to Prosperity

The Keynesian belief that the government can print/ borrow and spend enough money to trigger self-sustaining prosperity is a nonsensical, magical-thinking Cargo Cult. The following charts show why it will continue to fail, with eventually catastrophic results: the returns on this unprecedented borrow-spend policy are diminishing to near-zero or negative. As long as the interest rate on debt is low, the path of least resistance is to keep borrowing to support politically untouchable fiefdoms, cartels and constituencies. Eventually, the cost of servicing the debt overwhelms the diminishing returns on the debt-based spending.

 

Jobless Claims Jump Most Since Sandy, Now Flat For 13 Months

While the popular meme is that jobless claims have been indicating an albeit modestly growing economy, it would appear that facts simply do not reflect that reality. Jobless claims surged this week, missing expectations by the most since Sandy as seasonal affectations are in the rear-view mirror. For 13 months, we have meandered around a flat-line initial claims number in the 365k range - and we remain there. What is most troubling about this total catastrophe that occurred in Emergency Unemployment Compensation. After last week's record-breaking plunge of over 350k, this week saw a surge of over 418k added to the EUC rolls - the biggest 2-week jump in two months. The noise in this data remains impressive and yet it is the correlated macro data that appears to be at the heart of so many people's belief in the equity market's strength...

Europe "Fixed" Facade Crumbling As German Retail Sales Implode

Remember all those soaring German confidence indices that said ignore the negative GDP print and focus on a future so bright, ze Germans've got to wear Zeiss? Appears the confidence may have been a tad massaged upwards because following a spate of weak corporate results out of Europe's growth dynamo, the German HDE retail association said Christmas sales for November and December were down some 0.7% from the prior year. Specifically German retail sales plunged -1.7% from November on expectations of a modest -0.1% decline, while on a year over year basis December imploded a whopping -4.7% vs expectations of -1.5%. Did the Germans blame the weather of lack of government spending, or maybe say to only focus on the positive aspects of the report (if any)? No. They were not girlie men about it.  In now traditional news, Greek retail sales in November followed suit and plunged just a tad more than in Germany imploding by some -16.8% in November. Remember: once they hit 0 they can only go up. But the biggest news certainly was Germany, whose economy continues to deteriorate and is probably what spurred Buba president Jens Weidmann to say that ongoing bailouts could threaten the strongest members.

Along with this concern, as many have perhaps suspected, the Israeli Defense Minister confirmed yesterday that the US has prepared plans for a 'surgical' military operation to delay Iran's nuclear program. As The Jerusalem Post reports, Ehud Barak, added that in the past the US has been heavy-handed but that under Barack Obama, the United States has "prepared quite sophisticated, fine, extremely fine, scalpels," if the worse comes to the worst - even though the Israeli preference would be to end the nuclear threat diplomatically, calling for tougher sanctions (though he expressed doubt that diplomacy would lead to success). Just another geopolitical hotspot that the world's markets choose to ignore in deference to the one true leader - central bankers.

 

 

$600 Billion In Trades In Four Years: How Apple Puts Even The Most Aggressive Hedge Funds To Shame

Everyone knows that for the better part of the past year Apple was the world's biggest company by market cap. Most also know that AAPL aggressively uses all legal tax loopholes to pay as little State and Federal tax as possible, despite being one of the world's most profitable companies. Many know, courtesy of our exclusive from September, that Apple also is the holding company for Braeburn Capital: a firm which with a few exceptions, also happens to be among the world's largest hedge funds, whose function is to manage Apple's massive cash hoard with virtually zero reporting requirements, and whose obligation is to make sure that AAPL's cash gets laundered legally and efficiently in a way that complies with prerogative #1: avoid paying taxes. What few if any know, is that as part of its cash management obligations, Braeburn, and AAPL by extension, has conducted a mindboggling $600 billion worth of gross notional trades in just the past four years, consisting of buying and selling assorted unknown securities, or some $250 billion in 2012 alone: a grand total which represents some $1 billion per working day on average, and which puts the net turnover of some 99% of all hedge funds to shame! Finally, what nobody knows, except for the recipients of course, is just how much in trade commissions AAPL has paid on these hundreds of billions in trades to the brokering banks, many (or maybe all) of which may have found this commission revenue facilitating AAPL having a "Buy" recommendation: a rating shared by 52, or 83% of the raters, despite the company's wiping out of one year in capital gains in a few short months.

 

 

Guest Post: Why Employment Is Dead in the Water

Employment is dead in the water because opportunities for organic expansion are few and the cost basis of doing business in the U.S. keep rising. That vise forces businesses large and small to reduce labor costs while boosting productivity. There is no other way to stay solvent in a post-bubble, over-capacity, over-indebted consumerist economy awash in too much of everything but energy, common sense and fiscal prudence.

{ We’ve never, in the entire history of economics, finance, markets seen the disconnect from economic/financial reality and fundamentals as pronounced and as great as now. The reality of modern-day computer programs/algos/frauds at lightning computerized speed and sheer desperation on fraudulent wall street whose ever larger protected frauds are literally cheered by failed american leadership at every level. Right now, though contraindicated, the superstitious January effect is in play and manipulated to meet faux bullish expectations. Then too, without doubt, what will be their excuse to not ‘sell in May and go away’ which really should be the mantra at present, now, beyond the hot air, smoke and mirrors, fraud and b***s*** we’re once again seeing in large measure, encouraged and received with ebulliently poised irrational exuberance on wall street and in washington.  Remember the ralleys in sympathy with Apple exuberance, all of which we now know to have had a foundation of little more than ‘apple sauce’. Total b***s***! What’s the next b***s*** story/sizzling fraud? The ‘money’ being cashed out by these frauds has to come from someplace (the real economy) and has already found a way into understated/underreported  inflation rates (for a multiple of staples including food prices), lower margins through higher costs thereby manipulated somewhat by currency manipulations, all of which will be ‘coming due’ in a very big way to the downside, reality-based blowout around the corner. }

1-30-13 Dave
s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com FED DAY BRINGS PROFIT-TAKING 1-30-13 Economic data Wednesday revealed the nations GDP contracted -.1% vs 1% expected & prior 3.1%. Most of the decline was attributed to inventories and a large decline in defense spending. There was plenty of spin surrounding this data. Some blamed this is what austerity might look like with less spending (Keynesians) while others just accepted the data for what it wasnot good. Markets initially shrugged to the news knowing bad data means more Fed QE which is always bullish. ADP Employment Data rose slightly (192K vs 172K expected & prior revised sharply lower to 185K from 215K). Some, including me, dont think much of this report generally since its too volatile and in the end, unreliable.Tuesdays Consumer Confidence severe drop (58.6 vs 65.1 expected & prior 66.7) was a shocker reflecting higher payroll taxes and perhaps slightly influenced by debt ceiling negotiations. Since I wasnt posting Tuesday it seems the only conclusion was more of the bad news is good meme which dominates trading with ZIRP & QE keeping training wheels on bullish investors.The Fed announcement contained little new information except a mention that weather was one cause for the GDP decline. (When in doubt, whip that one out.) Fed policies were left unchanged so QE will remain in place providing that proverbial tailwind pundits love to cite.We now turn to more earnings, Jobless Claims and Fridays big employment report. Both of these employment reports will be misleading given the number of people falling off the employment rolls.The dollar (UUP) fell sharply on the GDP data while gold (GLD) bounced as it should given dollar weakness. Stocks fell modestly and selling picked-up downside speed in the last hour of trading. Leading sectors lower were small caps (IWM) and housing (ITB). Bonds (TLT) prices fell and yields rose. Commodities (DBC) rose with gains in energy (USO) and metals (JJC).Volume was once again modest and returning to levels last seen in 2006 and early 2007. Breadth per the WSJ was negative overall…’

Elliott's Paul Singer On How Money Is Created... And How It Dies

"History is replete with examples of societies whose downfalls were related to or caused by the destruction of money. The end of this phase of global financial history will likely erupt suddenly. It will take almost everyone by surprise, and then it may grind a great deal of capital and societal cohesion into dust and pain. We wish more global leaders understood the value of sound economic policy, the necessity of sound money, and the difference between governmental actions that enable growth and economic stability and those that risk abject ruin. Unfortunately, it appears that few leaders do."

Things That Make You Go Hmm - Such As Currency Wars

Nobody ever really wins at Thumb Wars, which makes the whole thing rather pointless; and, as it turns out, the same can be said about the subject of Grant Williams discussions in this week's 'Things That Make You Go Hmmm...' - Currency Wars - which seem to be erupting across the globe. There are many parts of the current financial equation that puzzle us; but beneath it all, at the wellspring of all the disconnects and false price signals that are making investing in todays supposedly free markets an impossible task, lies the source of my greatest consternation: central banks. I have one simple question for those august institutions, and it is this: Do they really think it is possible for them all to devalue their currencies against each other simultaneously and achieve anything but rampant and universal inflation at some future point in time? There are 38 countries with negative or near-zero real rates,and/or have either had explicit QE programs in place or were actively intervening in or verbally manipulating their currencies. Now, does it seem remotely possible that all these countries can have weak currencies at the same time? Of course it isn't possible. Not without rampant inflation, it isn't.

 

 

Peter Schiff & Doug Casey On Gold, Investor Cluelessness, And The "Escape From America" Plan

In just under 30 minutes, contrarian libertarians Peter Schiff and Doug Casey muse on many facets of the crumbling edifice of the status quo that is our current world. The conversation is wide-ranging and absolutely must-see as they remind market-watchers that "the whole thing is artificial." You can't just keep printing money and monetizing debt without the dollar imploding even with monetary policy descending (along with its trillion dollar coin) into 'Three Stooges'-like comedy. The conversation ranges from gold heading to $5,000 and beyond (and why) to Schiff's father's imprisonment but ends with a discussion of what the future brings: "the biggest change that is coming to the global economy is a realignment of global living standards," and that will not play well for the USA. It's hump-day, grab a beer and watch...

 

 

Dow Transports And Oil Revert To Old Normal?

Since the peak in 2008, the Dow Transports and the price of crude oil has been extremely highly correlated. Whether this is due to the inextricable factor of central bank liquidity flushing 'money' into each and every market around the world - or an increase in the link between demand for energy and increasing transportation needs - it seems something has recently changed. Oil prices have been stymied in the last year as global growth slowed and in spite of a plethora of hot-spots for geo-political risk flares has been unable to see premia rise. On the other hand, the Dow Transports have screamed higher. Different this time? It would appear so... or is this a return to the anti-correlated (somewhat more sensible) energy-cost-to-transports world that existed before the crisis?

 

 

Ken "Ain't Different" Rogoff Crushes The Infinite Dream Of Crude Keynesian Stimulus

Following today's dismal GDP print, the massive ongoing borrowing being undertaken by our government, and the Bernankian policies which appear inescapable (and entirely ineffective for anything but the market), we thought Ken Rogoff's recent op-ed from the FT was extremely appropriate. Many foreign observers look at the US budget shenanigans with confusion and dismay, wondering how a country that seems to have it all can manage its fiscal affairs so chaotically. The root problem is not just a hugely elevated level of public debt, or a patently unsustainable trajectory for old age entitlements. It is an electorate deeply divided over the direction of government, with differences compounded by changing demographics and sustained sluggish growth. It is hard to escape the notion that todays budget battles are but a skirmish in a much longer-term war that wont be settled soon. The idea that one should just ignore all these problems and apply crude Keynesian stimulus is a dangerous one. It matters a great deal how the government taxes and spends, not just how much. The US debt level is a constraint.

 

 

Guest Post: The New Regime For Precious Metals

Today we look at long term charts of some key commodities and investigate means by which we might gain insight into the dynamics of their price movements. The charts are most commonly studied as a plot of price vs time. However, the dynamical evolution of a complex system is described by a succession of states through which the system has evolved. Even though gold and silver have been in a bull market for over ten years, the real regime change only happened about three years ago. What was evident was the separation of the precious metals (which still includes silver) from the industrial metals and agricultural commodities. What happened?

 

 

A Quarter Of Jobs In America Pay Below The Federal Poverty Line

Over two years ago (and reiterated last year) Zero Hedge first wrote on what was and is an undisputed transition within the US labor force: a shift from full-time to temp, or part-time labor, with virtually no contractual or welfare benefits, and where workers are lucky to get minimum wage. This is because in the "New Normal" where copious amounts of structural slack are pervasive due precisely to the Fed's constant flawed micromanagement of the economy, the US has now become an "employers' market." Furthermore, we were the first to make the critical distinction that it is absolutely not all about the quantity of jobs, but much more importantly, the quality of the new jobs being created. However, just like 99% of the general public, and all of the mainstream media, has an inborn genetic disorder preventing it from grasping the distinction between nominal and real, so these two critical aspects of the US jobs market languished unperturbed. Until now, two years later, when we are happy to see that the mainstream media has finally caught up with what our readers knew in December 2010.

 

 

Stocks Catch-Down To Credit As Silver Surges

We noted yesterday the growing disconnect between stocks and credit - today saw stocks start to play catch-down. High-yield credit (specifically HYG - the bond ETF) has fallen four days in a row - its biggest four day plunge in over 2 months (with today's drop the biggest single-day drop in almost 4 months) amid mega volume. VIX (another notable disconnect) continued to push higher (above 14% for the first time in 3 weeks). Treasuries had been leaking higher in yield on the week (30Y +8bps as FOMC hit) but slid lower as the post-FOMC day wore on. The USD weakness (led by significant strength in CHF and EUR) supported precious metals (and commodities broadly) but not stocks. Silver are up almost 3% on the week (and Gold outperforming USD's implied shift). Homebuilders faded from the open with all the QE-sensitive sectors (Materials, Energy, and Discretionary) all red on the week now. It would appear that bonds recoupling (higher in yield) with stocks was the end of the catalyst for this run higher for now as divergences are appearing everywhere. S&P futures end the day red on the week, on large average trade size and volume.

 

 

Santelli Blasts Bernanke: "Whatever You're Doing, It Isn't Working"

While some would look at the surge in government spending in Q3 last year (ahead of the election) and subsequent plunge in Q4 as conspiratorial, CNBC's Rick Santelli takes a step slightly further back as he draws the analogy between the mystical monetary experimentation of Ben Bernanke and his horde of central bank cronies and the "bloodletting of leeching" of medieval medicine providers. The point being that if you were sick in the middle ages, leeches were applied; and if you returned weeks later (still sick), more leeches and blood-letting took place - with no lesson learned. The fact that we borrowed $300bn in Q4 and managed a dismally dire drop in GDP growth offers little hope as the world glares agog at the Dow Jones Industrial Average index while Bernanke, six years on from the start of the recession continues to apply the same medicine that has done nothing to resurrect our economy. In Rick's words, "Whatever you're doing; It isn't working!" and in fact the monetary support could potentially hurt the economy in the medium-term as debt piles up exponentially. An epic rant...

 

 

Israeli Jets Bomb Syrian Military Site

In what was the first clear instance of aggression by Israel toward Syria, overnight Israeli jets conducted a bombing run over a military site in Syria, targeting what according to Israel was a military convoy heading to Lebanon. As Al Arabiya reports: "Israeli jets bombed a convoy on Syria's border with Lebanon on Wednesday, sources told Reuters, apparently targeting weapons destined for Hezbollah in what some called a warning to Damascus not to arm Israel's Lebanese enemy. "The target was a truck loaded with weapons, heading from Syria to Lebanon," said one Western diplomat, adding that the consignment may well have included anti-aircraft missiles. The overnight attack, which several sources placed on the Syrian side of the border, followed warnings from Israel that it was ready to act to prevent the revolt against President Bashar al-Assad leading to Syria's chemical weapons and modern rockets reaching either his Hezbollah allies or his Islamist enemies."

 

 

Ben Speaks - Market Yawns (For Now)

Out of the gate, Treasury yields dropped 4bps, Gold rallied $5, Oil popped, and Stocks leaked lower. But 30 minutes after the main-event, it seems that initial excitement has worn off. Gold has reverted (down) and Treasury yields (up) though we note that though it is marginal at best, S&P 500 futures are testing the day-session lows still (down 2-3 points). It would appear that infinity is still a big number and suggesting that they will add moar to infinity has done little to change what is priced in. The most notable change (we can see) is in JPY weakness and Oil strength so far... though stocks are leaking once again

Guest Post: America's Four Socioeconomic Classes

A titanic political battle is brewing between the parasitic aristocracy, the dependent class and the two classes creating value with their labor. In the conventional view, America's socioeconomic classes are divided by income and wealth into various layers of Wealthy, Middle Class and Poor.  Extending recent analysis, we get an entirely different framework that breaks naturally into four classes: 1. Parasitic financial Aristocracy (creates no value, skims national surplus); 2. High value creation (employed, heavily taxed); 3. Low value creation (employed/informal economy, lightly taxed); and 4. No value creation (unemployed, dependent). In this context, America is filling the gap between the value we create and what we spend by borrowing $1 trillion+ a year on the Federal level and hundreds of billions more on the local-government and private-sector levels. All this debt isn't being "invested" in new value-creation; it is funding consumption and cartel skimming on a monumental scale.

 

 

Italy Crashes Most In Six Months Despite EURUSD Strength

Wherever you looked today in Italy, shares were halted. From Saipem to Seat and From Banco Popolare to BMPS, individual stocks fell between 5% and 45% in some cases. Spain also fell alongside its incorrigible risk-on peripheral neighbor as dividend suspensions, outlook cuts, rating downgrades, and a growing concern about the banking system's legitimacy wear on sentiment. Italian sovereign risk was largely unchanged but as the US opened it started to bleed wider - but in general bonds ignored the stress in stocks. FX markets also were un-phased as EUR continued to test higher. CHF did, however, strengthen notably (against the USD, EUR, and mostly against the JPY - up 28% in the last six months!). The CHF strength did nothing for demand for Swiss rates though as they pushed higher to 10-month highs. The big problem though lies in credit. Just as in the US, credit markets in Europe are massively divergent from stocks' exuberance - and today's surge in Europe's VIX also echoes the disconnect we are seeing evolve in the US. Things are shifting...

 

 

How The Glorious Socialist Revolution Generated A 681% Return For Goldman Sachs

Back in 2011, BlackRock's Larry Fink revealed one of the great unspoken truths of capital markets, namely that "markets like totalitarian governments." They also like authoritarian socialism, sprinkled in with a healthy dose of nationalization, because as Bloomberg reports, one of the biggest beneficiaries of over ten years of the "glorious socialist revolution" in Venezuela, coupled with over 1000 nationalizations by the bed-ridden and roughly 15 times deceased Hugo Chavez (if one believes all the rumors), is none other than Goldman Sachs, which generated some 681% in returns due to "aligning its interests" with those of the unshakable Venezuelan ruler.

 

 

China Unleashes Building-Gobbling Sinkhole To Spur GDP Growth

It would appear that China has taken that 'fallacy' one step too far as a giant sinkhole is 'gobbling' up buildings across Guangzhou. We assume this sinkhole was unleashed to help maintain GDP amid the now factual decline in labor force that we discussed yesterday.

 

 

US Contraction Sends Europe Lower, US Higher

While US equity futures knee-jerked lower on the dismal reality of this morning's GDP print, that dip was rapidly bought pushing equities up near their highs as the day-session opened. However, it appears US gains are Europe's losses as Spanish (and even more so Italian) stocks are plunging today. From Monti Paschi shenanigans to Fiat's dividend (and comments on ongoing EU uncertainty) and from Saipem's slashing their outlook to Seat's rating downgrade - the chart below suggests this is more than just 'fundamental' as Italy's MIB syncs up perfectly with Spain's IBEX and they both start to fall. Spanish and Italian bond markets are unreactive as EUR strengthens... but we haven't seen European stocks and US stocks decouple to this extent this year so far... is the flow becoming fragmented?

 

 

 

Why Economists Get Things Wrong

Following today's 3-sigma miss in GDP by the greatest and goodest economists of the world, we thought David McWilliams brief 'Punk Economics' clip on "why economists get things wrong" was particularly appropriate. With Mark Zandi's "this didn't really happen" comment this morning on GDP, McWilliams starts by warning of the most dangerous of economic soothsayers - the overconfident and over-optimistic forecaster. Perhaps, he notes, the Queen was on to something when she asked (about the crisis), "why didn't you see this coming? ...and why should I listen to you now?" The key fact driving economists' inability to predict the future is a lack of understanding of the present thanks to the "complete and utter nonsense" that economists see the world as rational - which, he shows, we certainly are not. There is no economics for emotions, exuberances, impulses, or frenzies (as is all too clear currently). We simply don't learn from our mistakes and always believe this time will be different. Indeed...

 

Chart Of The Quarter: $312 Billion In Debt "Adds" Negative $5 Billion In GDP

What was it about the law of diminishing Fed stimulus returns again? But don't worry: "the market is up." Because if $165 billion in Q4 stimulus could not even generate a positive GDP return, at least it sent the Russell 2000 soaring.

 

The Removal Of 'Event Risk'

The removal of event risk is the bottom line which defines the markets currently and which is why there is such a large disparity between economic fundamentals and the markets collective reaction. Short and sweet; risk has subsided or at least that is the common perception. This does not mean that the collective thinking is correct or even that it will be the collective thinking for long. The lack of a fear factor will push relative valuations in new directions which will impact the Dollar/Euro ratio causing even greater financial issues for Europe and higher Treasury yields will impact not just bonds with credit risk but equities as a matter of comparison. Yields in Europe, which went down because of the Draghi promise coupled with our great slosh of capital and the delay, defer and postpone mindset of the Europeans may begin to rise again because of other factors which primarily would be their relative valuations against their American counterparts. The lack of event risk has two sides and two sets of consequences.

 

 

Shrinkage: US Economy Declined By -0.1% In Q4

A stunner out of the BEA which just reported a Q4 GDP of -0.1% that was leaps and bounds below the 1.1% estimate, and a plunge from Q3's 3.1%. The factors: Private Inventories, Exports and Government Expenditures all of which contracted, by -1.27%, -0.81%, and -1.33%. The silver lining was in Personal Consumption Expenditures which added 1.52% to the negative print, most of it however driven by a surge in spending ahead of the fiscal cliff. Ironically, this was the biggest government-driven detraction from growth since Q1 2011, when GDP led to a -1.49% cut in the GDP, same in Q4 when government spending on defense fell the most since 1972. The solution is simple: print moar drones. Enter Mali. And since everything is now AMZN-ing, we can't wait for the spin that the GDP's margins were actually better than expected, leading to a 200 point surge in the DJIA.

 

 

Noisy ADP, aka "BLS For Dummies", Beats, Last Month Revised Much Lower

ADP may have changed its methodology, wiping out a few hundred thousand 2012 jobs in the process, but its predictive track record remains the same: lousy. In December, the private payroll counter "reported" some 215,000 private job gains, well above expectations and about 50,000 more than the BLS reported two days later. Today, ADP was expected to print far lower, or at 165,000, and once again we got a major beat, this time January data apparently soaring to 192K, yet at the same time the utterly meaningless December data was revised far lower, from 215K to 185K just to be inline with the BLS. Expect this number, too, to be revised lower as it usually tends to be, following a weaker than implied BLS payroll number. Of note: seven consecutive drops in manufacturing jobs: so much for that Obama promise to double manufacturing jobs in 5 years or whatever it was. Judging by the market's non response to today's latest ADP number, we are not the only ones who see Mark Zandi's pet seasonal-adjustment project as nothing more than a monthly joke.

 

 

Swiss Banks Now Offer Allocated Gold, Silver Accounts

Swiss banks, UBS and Credit Suisse, have moved to offer allocated gold and silver accounts to their clients including high net worth, hedge funds, other banks and institutions.  The move allows these entities to take direct ownership of their bullion in allocated accounts. According to the Financial Times, the banks say that they are making the move in order to reduce exposure and risks on balance sheets and in an effort to be more transparent.  Under more common "unallocated" gold accounts, depositors' bullion appears on the banks' balance sheets, forcing them to increase their capital reserves. Like their global peers, UBS and Credit Suisse are under pressure from regulators to reduce capital-intensive activities ahead of the introduction of new Basel III global banking rules. It is more likely that the banks made the move to allocated storage due to an increased preference from their investors who are weary of continuing systemic risk.

Frankrupt Damage Control "France Is A Truly Solvent Country, France Is A Truly Credible Country"

In a move farcically reminiscent of Inspector Clouseau, the French Finance Minister made an impromptu appearance on the BBC to confirm what we all should have known all along: that "France is a truly solvent country, France is a truly credible country." As the Washington Post notes, the oh-so-honest faux-pas that enfant terrible Monsieur Michel Sapin made yesterday - explaining how his nation is "totally bankrupt" - had French politicos scrambling today to recover their je ne sais pas. It would appear the crisis management approach taken is the repetitive Jedi mind-trick and of course we should believe Moscovici - even as France faces near-record unemployment, ratings downgrades, fiscal atrophication thanks to a plunge in competitiveness, and backlash among the elites at its increasingly socialist policies. "This is not the France you are looking for," and sure enough, now we believe them.

 

 

Silver Eagle Sales Surge To All-Time Record In January

A massive 7.4 million Silver Eagles were purchased from the U.S. Mint in January, considerably higher than the previous record from early 2011. After halting Silver coin production/sales for over a week, the Mint re-opened yesterday and demand once again surged. Having almost doubled from the first week in January, there remains two more days before the book is closed on January's sales. At 140,000 ounces, the Mint has also sold the most ounces of gold in January in almost three years, suggesting the rising 'currency wars' are stoking people's ongoing rotation from paper-to-physical assets as their 'wealth' slowing loses its value.

 

 

Guest Post: You Know You're Not Living In A Free Country When...

You know youre no longer living in a free country when the government tells you what you can and cannot put in your body. Or when an unelected board of bureaucrats and corporate insiders can confiscate the assets of hardworking small business owners. Yet these have become par for the course in the Land of the Free. The police, the bureaucrats... they are not the enemy. They are merely pawns of an entire system gone critically bad. In truth, there is no actual enemy. The enemy is an idea - a faceless government that is not embodied in a single individual or group. Trying to fight this enemy, this idea, is as futile as a government declaring war on drugs or poverty. These are not enemy combatants. Theyre nouns. Concepts. As such, trying to take back the country is a noble yet unfortunately misguided expenditure of precious resources.

 

 

China Hits Key Demographic Ceiling As Working-Age Population Now Declining

The meme of the moment remains China's 'rotation' to urbanization as the new growth engine, but as SocGen's Wei Yao notes, while this shift from farmers to manufacturers has raised productivity, urban population growth is set to decelerate rapidly in the current decade. Yao comments that the impact of urbanization has been "misunderstood and overstated by the market" as it is now official that Chinas working-age population has peaked and is starting to decline. Chinas National Bureau Statistics announced that the share of population aged between 15 and 60 years old declined for the first time in 2012 by 0.6ppt to 69.2%. This slower labor growth brings China ever closer to the so-called "Lewis Turning Point"  at which excess labor in the agriculture sector is fully absorbed into modern sectors - leading to no or negligible productivity improvements. The bottom line is that hopes for "new urbanization" appear overdone, given the demographic (and productivity) headwinds and China's focus should shift to social safety nets and not torrid physical construction.

 

 

Guest Post: The Siren Song Of The Robot

The quest for cheap energy and cheap labor is a conquering human urge, one that has played out with notable ferocity starting with the Industrial Revolution. The introduction of coal into British manufacturing, and the more recent outsourcing of Western manufacturing to Asia, have marked key thresholds in this ongoing progression. But despite the harvesting of additional productivity gains from the more recent revolution in information technology, the suite of macro data suggests that the rate of advancement in physical production has slowed, notably, in the past thirty years. Seen in this light, the greatest gains to global industrial production were probably enjoyed from the late 18th century (when coal extraction and use began in earnest) into the mid-20th century (when oil reached broad distribution). In contrast, computers, the Internet, and the leveraging of developing world labor might eventually be seen as the finishing touches on this great industrial wave.

 

 

Zimbabwe's Total Cash On Hand: $217.00

Several years after revealing the first one hundred trillion modern-day banknote and seeing its economy implode in a cloud of hyperinflationary smoke, Zimbabwe's problems are back with a vengeance. And this time not even more currency destruction, as Zimbabwe does not actually have its own currency any more having largely shifted to foreign currencies primarily the USD and the ZAR - can help. The problem? The country is officially out of cash. From AFP: "After paying public workers salaries last week, the balance in cash-strapped Zimbabwes government public account stood at just $217, Finance Minister Tendai Biti said Tuesday. Last week when we paid civil servants there was $217 (left) in government coffers, Biti told journalists in the capital Harare, claiming some of them had healthier bank balances than the state. The government finances are in paralysis state at the present moment. We are failing to meet our targets." Sadly not even the projected and quite hilarious 5% GDP growth of the now completely broke country, which can't even create money out of thin air as there is nobody who will lend it even one penny, will do much if anything. (Here we will briefly ignore the fact that Zimbabwe's net cash position is about $120,000,000,000,217.00 greater than that of the US)

 

Amazon Misses, Growth Slows, Guides Lower, P/E Goes Negative And Stock Soars

The most cartoonish stock of all time just came out with results that can only be characterized as ugly. To wit:

Q4 revenue of $21.27 billion missed expectations of $22.23 billion

Q1 EPS of $0.21 missed expectations of $0.27;

The firm guided top-line lower, seeing Q1 sales of $15-$16 billion, below the estimate of $16.5 billion

The firm guided operating income much lower, seeing Q1 op income of ($285)-$65 Million on expectations of $261.4 MM

The firm said the its physical books sales had the lowest growth in 17 years

Total employees grew by 7,000 in the quarter and 32,200 Y/Y to a record 88,400

Worldwide net sales Y/Y growth was the slowest in years at 23%, down from 30% in Q3 and 34% a year ago

And, last and certainly least, LTM Net Income is now officially negative, or ($49) meaning as of this moment the firm with the idiotically high PE has an even more idiotic N/M PE.

... And the stock is soaring in the after hours. Thank you DE Shaw.

 

Santelli's Paradox And Why The Fed's Exit Will Be "Very, Very Messy"

We are in our sixth year since the US officially went into recession and yet, as CNBC's Rick Santelli notes, we are still in crisis management mode. Some argue that any day now, the Fed will begin to remove its mega liquidity pipe from the market but Rick exclaims in this wonderfully succinct clip that: "there is no expiration date on faulty illogical ideas," as he expects any Fed exit to be "very, very messy." Rick's dilemma is the seemingly paradoxical need for yet moar and bigger monetary policy crisis management by Ben Bernanke when day-after-day we are told by the very guests on his network that "stocks look great." At the end of the day, when the Fed decides to exit, they will not be able to put the liquidity 'toothpaste' back in the tube.

 

Student Loan Bubble Update: "This Situation Is Simply Unsustainable"

"The delinquency rate today on student loans that were originated from 2005-2007 is 12.4 percent. The comparable figure for student loans that were originated from 2010-2012 is 15.1 percent, representing an increase in the delinquency rate by nearly 22 percent....This situation is simply unsustainable and were already suffering the consequences, said Dr. Andrew Jennings, FICOs chief analytics officer and head of FICO Labs. When wage growth is slow and jobs are not as plentiful as they once were, it is impossible for individuals to continue taking out ever-larger student loans without greatly increasing the risk of default. There is no way around that harsh reality.

 

 

Why Are American Voters So Uninformed?

The sad fact is that it appears completely rational to be ignorant about politics. The cost of being an 'informed' voter - as opposed to a bigotted closed-minded ignoramus - is high, from the time spent following (and interpreting) the news in the paper, online, and on the television. As the following clip notes, "becoming an informed voter is competing with a lot of other needs in your life," from American Idol watching to eating Cheetos in the bath. Of course, the sad truth is that it has never been more important to be 'informed' and so the 'bread-and-circuses' will continue lest we stumble upon the truth - but perhaps this brief clip will sway a few more to the dark side of 'the informed' - though just because 'you' are better-informed does not mean politicians will do a better job - as the probability of your vote changing the outcome of an election is for all practical purposes, zero!

 

 

Hedging The Great Unwind - Second Highest Treasury Put Volume On Record Hits The Tape

In early June 2007, Treasury futures saw their largest-ever put volume traded (821,978 contracts) and within a few days, Treasury yields had peaked at 5.32% and never looked back. Yesterday, according to CME data, Treasury futures put volume hit 758,020 contracts (second only to that 2007 high) as 74% of the entire options trading volume was in puts (and 88% of 5Y futures options were puts!). With the FOMC tomorrow and everyone seemingly convinced that the 'great rotation' is in place, it would appear the crowded trade is being bearish bonds.

 

 

The Complete World Currency War Heatmap

A regular feature back in 2010 when we had our first taste of global currency warfare as Brazil's finance minister accurately summarized when he said "a currency war has broken out" (and yes: currency war existed then, and especially in the 1930s which led to the Great Depression, long before the recent eponymous book came out desperate to take credit for this simplistic concept) were the global FX heatmaps which showed how any given currency is doing on any given day. Since currency warfare is now back and more violent than at any time in the past 80 years, it only makes sense to bring back a long-time reader favorite: the currency warfare heatmaps which show who, on any given day, is winning and losing, the global race to debase and in the process beggar all globalized and SWIFT-interlinked neighbors. But don't forget: in a relativistic fiat world, nobody can actually win the global race to debase. Well, not nobody: gold (and other precious metals) can, assuming it is not confiscated as it was the last time the US ended the global currency war with a 50%+ devaluation of the USD relative to gold... and promptly confiscated all gold.

 

 

Guest Post: Why Employment In The U.S. Isn't Coming Back

It is impossible to understand job creation without understanding value creation and labor/overhead costs. People hire other people when their labor creates more value than it costs to hire them. When labor costs are high, the value created must also be high; it makes no sense to hire someone if doing so generates a loss. When labor is cheap, the bar of value creation is lowered, and so the risk of hiring a worker is also lower: they don't have to add much value to be worth their wage. This is why you see many low-value jobs in developing-world countries.  If overhead costs - the cost-basis of doing business in the U.S. - keep rising faster than gross profits (out of which overhead is paid), then the owners have little choice: they can either close the business before they are personally bankrupted, cut everyone's pay or lay off some employees and somehow raise the productivity of the remaining workers to maintain enough value creation to survive. This is the U.S. economy in a nutshell.

 

 

Consumer Confidence Crashes To 2011 Levels After Biggest Plunge Since August 2011 Debt Ceiling Debacle

It would appear that the hike in taxes on 77% of Americans that was heralded as a success, has dented confidence just a little. As the efficient stock market moves to all-time nominal highs in many cases, Consumer Confidence just fell off a cliff. The conference board printed at the worst level in 13 months - so all those 2012 gains are gone - and fell month-over-month by the most since the August 2011 fiscal cliff debacle. For every income levels (except those earning under $15k) confidence plunged with the $35k-$50k bracket crashing the most. It would appear that the driver of 70% of the US economy is not buying the new normal being fed to us daily by any and every media outlet possible. No matter how much the market is held up by mysterious runs in FX markets or volatility compression, it would appear that - just as we have been noting - the underlying macro fundamentals will eventually be priced in, as this does not bode well for retail sales.

 

 

Case-Shiller Home Price Index Posts Second Consecutive Monthly Decline, Average Home Prices Back To Fall 2003 Levels

The Case-Shiller Home Price Index is unique among other economic data indicators for recommending that analysts focus solely on its Non-seasonal adjusted data series, as this is what the report uses in its own headline figures. It adds that "for analytical purposes, S&P Dow Jones Indices publishes a seasonally adjusted data set covered in the headline indices" - a far cry from the BLS, whose Arima X 12 models are the basis of the data "moves" on a monthly basis: moves which are based not so much in the underlying data but on the seasonal adjustment and fudging the government employees apply to it. And it is the unadjusted Case Shiller data that showed that in November, the 20 City Composite index posted its second consecutive monthly price decline in a row. Yes: on a year over year basis home prices did rise some 5.5%, but on the other hand, "average home prices across the United States are back to their autumn 2003 levels for both the 10-City and 20-City Composites." And while the price decline into the year end is somewhat seasonal, it certainly does not fit with all the other economic data released by the government showing a housing picture so bright not even the tiniest drops in prices were allowed.

 

 

 

Action Over; Reaction About To Commence

The one thing that all of us know, surely all of us must know at least this, is that markets do not go forever in one direction. I am not speaking here of the pecularities of a day or of trying to eke out some trade but of shifts in circumstances and sentiments that sets the direction upon a new course. We live in a world recently comprised of three basic tenets; postpone, make up facts to suit the goals of some nation or nations and throw money at anything that moves. This is an inherently unstable construct and yet that is what our brilliant leaders have embraced. I will tell you this; when chicanery is trotted out as truth, when liabilities are not counted, when losses are termed investments, when the only answer to anything is the printing of more small pieces of green and blue paper then trouble is approaching with a capital T and the future is a bleak cloud of foreboding.

 

 

Spain Is World's Most "Miserable" Nation, Worse Than Greece, Venezuela And South Africa

A quick ranking of the world's most "miserable" countries, based on the conventional measure of the Misery Index which is simply the Unemployment Rate plus Inflation, shows just why most people in Spain are, well, less than happy (and Spain is damn lucky there is no subset of the Misery index for just those aged 25 and under as we would certainly need a bigger chart). As the chart below shows, the Spanish "misery" is now the greatest in the world, at some 30%, and is worse than South Africa, Greece, Venezuela, Argentina and Egypt.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu says his nation must prepare for the threat of a chemical attack from Syria, amid concern at enemy efforts to test a post-election coalition Israel, and has deployed its new Iron Dome anti-missile system near the border with its northern neighbor. Along with this concern, as many have perhaps suspected, the Israeli Defense Minister confirmed yesterday that the US has prepared plans for a 'surgical' military operation to delay Iran's nuclear program. As The Jerusalem Post reports, Ehud Barak, added that in the past the US has been heavy-handed but that under Barack Obama, the United States has "prepared quite sophisticated, fine, extremely fine, scalpels," if the worse comes to the worst - even though the Israeli preference would be to end the nuclear threat diplomatically, calling for tougher sanctions (though he expressed doubt that diplomacy would lead to success). Just another geopolitical hotspot that the world's markets choose to ignore in deference to the one true leader - central bankers.

 

 

$600 Billion In Trades In Four Years: How Apple Puts Even The Most Aggressive Hedge Funds To Shame

Everyone knows that for the better part of the past year Apple was the world's biggest company by market cap. Most also know that AAPL aggressively uses all legal tax loopholes to pay as little State and Federal tax as possible, despite being one of the world's most profitable companies. Many know, courtesy of our exclusive from September, that Apple also is the holding company for Braeburn Capital: a firm which with a few exceptions, also happens to be among the world's largest hedge funds, whose function is to manage Apple's massive cash hoard with virtually zero reporting requirements, and whose obligation is to make sure that AAPL's cash gets laundered legally and efficiently in a way that complies with prerogative #1: avoid paying taxes. What few if any know, is that as part of its cash management obligations, Braeburn, and AAPL by extension, has conducted a mindboggling $600 billion worth of gross notional trades in just the past four years, consisting of buying and selling assorted unknown securities, or some $250 billion in 2012 alone: a grand total which represents some $1 billion per working day on average, and which puts the net turnover of some 99% of all hedge funds to shame! Finally, what nobody knows, except for the recipients of course, is just how much in trade commissions AAPL has paid on these hundreds of billions in trades to the brokering banks, many (or maybe all) of which may have found this commission revenue facilitating AAPL having a "Buy" recommendation: a rating shared by 52, or 83% of the raters, despite the company's wiping out of one year in capital gains in a few short months.

 

 

Guest Post: Why Employment Is Dead in the Water

Employment is dead in the water because opportunities for organic expansion are few and the cost basis of doing business in the U.S. keep rising. That vise forces businesses large and small to reduce labor costs while boosting productivity. There is no other way to stay solvent in a post-bubble, over-capacity, over-indebted consumerist economy awash in too much of everything but energy, common sense and fiscal prudence.

 

{ We’ve never, in the entire history of economics, finance, markets seen the disconnect from economic/financial reality and fundamentals as pronounced and as great as now. The reality of modern-day computer programs/algos/frauds at lightning computerized speed and sheer desperation on fraudulent wall street whose ever larger protected frauds are literally cheered by failed american leadership at every level. Right now, though contraindicated, the superstitious January effect is in play and manipulated to meet faux bullish expectations. Then too, without doubt, what will be their excuse to not ‘sell in May and go away’ which really should be the mantra at present, now, beyond the hot air, smoke and mirrors, fraud and b***s*** we’re once again seeing in large measure, encouraged and received with ebulliently poised irrational exuberance on wall street and in washington.  Remember the ralleys in sympathy with Apple exuberance, all of which we now know to have had a foundation of little more than ‘apple sauce’. Total b***s***! What’s the next b***s*** story/sizzling fraud? The ‘money’ being cashed out by these frauds has to come from someplace (the real economy) and has already found a way into understated/underreported  inflation rates (for a multiple of staples including food prices), lower margins through higher costs thereby manipulated somewhat by currency manipulations, all of which will be ‘coming due’ in a very big way to the downside, reality-based blowout around the corner. }

Labor Minister Says France Is "Totally Bankrupt"

Things in France must not be very serious, because the French labor minister accidentally let the truth come out a little earlier today. As the Telegraph reports, France's labour minister sent the country into a state of shock on Monday after he described the nation as totally bankrupt."

 

 

Here Come The Drones, Or The True Reason For The Mali Incursion

Given our recent discussion (here and here) of the rising importance of Africa in the world's power and money echelons, it is not entirely surprising that the NY Times reports that US military command in Africa is actively preparing to establish a drone base in northwest Africa to increase "unarmed surveillance missions on the local affiliate of Al Qaeda and other Islamist extremist groups" that American and other Western officials say pose a growing menace to the region. It would appear Niger will be the most likely place for the base - from which officials envision flying only unarmed surveillance drones though, of course, they have not ruled out conducting missile strikes at some point if the threat worsens. This is directly related to the Mali mission, but it could also give Africom a more enduring presence for I.S.R., one American military official said Sunday, referring to intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. Perhaps, actually scratch the "perhaps", what is really happening is the US now has a drone base with which to supervise Chinese expansion in Northweast Africa, anda drone fleet to use defensively and offensively as it sees fit.

 

 

Mark Spitznagel On Confusing Means With Ends

Amid all of this messy thinking we miss the simple truth behind our material wealth: It has been achieved through the accumulation, by us and inherited from our forefathers, of a stock of highly configured and embedded tools that make human effort more effective and things possible that never were before. And we turn our backs on this truth when we turn more and more of these tools over to government bureaucrats. Profits are but an intermediate end of capital investment. Its ultimate end, in fact, is the material progression of our civilization. How easily we lose sight of this, at our and our progeny's peril. We all want more economic growth, but we ignore the means to get there: the onerous choices and commitments made along the round-about path to those ends. We even confuse the means with the ends.

 

 

Stocks And Bonds Reconnect As Endangered Rising VIX Posts A Rare Appearance

Once again equity markets disconnected (positively) from their risk-related cousins at around the European close and while broad equity markets closed around unchanged, the weakness in HY credit, and rise in VIX and Treasury bond prices as the day wore on told a slightly more concerned story than stocks would suggest. AAPL rose helping the tech sector; homebuilders saw their biggest loss in 5 weeks following weaker than expected housing data; and CAT's incredulous rally on total lack of clarity for their outlook provided just enough juice to keep the Dow near unchanged. S&P 500 futures fell rapidly to Friday's low as the US day session opened but found support and oscillated around unch/VWAP for the rest of the day. The USD round-tripped from early strength to end unchanged with GBP weakness and JPY strength. Oil rallied, Silver slipped, Gold tracked the USD, but Treasuries' overnight weakness halted instantly as the US day-session opened. Volume and average trade size were low which combined with the VIX expansion and broad risk-off suggests the equity rally is losing steam - but who knows anymore.

 

Iceland's 'Icesave' Deposit Victory Slams Door On European Deposit Insurance Hopes

In yet another victory for not bowing to the great-and-good of modern orthodoxy, Iceland has won a court ruling that enables it to repay billions of Euros (in failed bank deposits to the UK and Holland) on its own terms. Icesave collapsed in 2008 and left thousands of depositors, who had chased higher yielding deposits, with losses. The Dutch and British governments demanded prompt payment; Iceland denied, preferring (rationally) to repay what they could from the then-bankrupt entity. As RTE notes, Icelanders in referenda twice voted against repayment schemes drawn up by their government to satisfy the British and Dutch claims, leaving the estate of Landsbanki to pay back the funds, which it has steadily done, instead of the taxpayers of Iceland being force per se to fund this shortfall. The implication being: Bank deposit insurance schemes in the European Economic Area are NOT backed by government liability, neither explicitly nor implicitly - which could well reignite concerns of the much-hoped-for Europe-wide deposit-guarantees.

 

 

Chart Of The Day: Is The ECB Responsible For The Second Coming Of BitCoin?

That precious metals are not the best friends of central banks, whose sole provenance is in creating, and lately massively diluting, faith-based fiat currency is no secret, especially not after the recent snafu involving the Bundesbank and its shocking gold repatriation announcement which came in direct refutation of its public statements just 2 months earlier about faith in the NY Fed this, and bashing of a "phantom debate" on the safety of gold reserves that. Yet it was not gold gold, silver or even tungsten that was the object of derision in an amusing paper released by the ECB in early November titled "Virtual Currency Schemes", which we profiled at the time, but rather the decentralized electronic currency BitCoin, which was supposed to highlight what, in the eyes of the Draghi-led Frankfurt institutions, is nothing but a Ponzi scheme. Why the ECB suddenly felt threatened so much by Bitcoin, it felt an imperative to issue a 55 page paper decrying such electronic currencies we will never know. What we do know, however, courtesy of a reminder by Bloomberg's Max Raskin, is that since the publication of said paper, the value of Bitcoin as tracked by the Mtgox exchange, has soared some 40% in just under three months, from a "fiat equivalent value" of $13 to a most recent closing price of $18.50, and has doubled in the past 12 months alone.

 

 

Santelli And Biderman Slam The Market's Four Faltering Fallacies

There are numerous myths flying around the screens we all remain glued to - from inflows suddenly becoming correlated with equity market performance to a 'real recovery' in housing. TrimTabs CEO Charles Biderman paid a brief but fact-full visit to CNBC's Rick Santelli and the two somewhat skeptical gentlemen expounded on four of the critical fallacies supporting hope in our markets currently. First, the last time inflows were this big we saw dramatic reversals in stocks; and coincidentally, secondly, we also saw companies buying back less stock (in fact we saw float rising at those periods) and sure enough that is what Biderman notes is happening in January too. Third, current 'economic' euphoria appears due to the drag forward of incomes into Q4 2012 due to tax concerns (which is being spent/saved now) - however that means Q1 2013 and on will be negatively impacted (even if we see a decent print in Q4 GDP) as that pull-forward reverts; and finally, fourth, interest rates are rising and simultaneously refinances have plunged - hurting the 'housing recovery' meme which has been the driver of a lot of euphoria (be careful what you wish for). It appears facts, once again, get in the way of a good story.

 

December Core Capital Goods Plunge 4.3% Y/Y As Durables Headline Boosted By Boeing Orders

Yet another government data release, yet another epic case of baffle with BS. As expected (and as pretweeted by us) The headline Durable goods orders was a massive 4.6% increase M/M, rising to $230.7 billion from $220.7 billion, the biggest beat to expectations of a 2.0% headline print since December 2011. A key reason for this was the ridiculous 56.4% explosion in Nondefense aircraft and part from $5.1 billion to $7.9 billion, while Nondefense aircraft soared by 10.1% to $14 billion. Excluding this incredibly volatile data set, the headline number would have been a miss, and will likely be revised lower next month, because the primary driver of the boost was Boeing, which said it had received 183 orders in December, compared to 124 in November. One wonders how many of these fully cancelable orders were for the Dreamliner. Ah details. And more details: the only consistent series that matters for a credible Capital Expenditure picture without monthly aberations, is the orders of Non-defense Capital Goods excluding Aircraft category, which rose by a whopping 0.2% month over month. But more importantly, looking at this on a Year over Year basis, as this is a seasonal series and looking at it on a sequential basis makes zero sense, we just experienced a whopping -4.3%, negating the transitory 1.5% Y/Y bounce posted in November, and resuming the downward glideslope in the key corporate CapEx indicator.

 

 

The Cycling Of Money

In one sense the trajectory of money is similar to what recently occurred with Lance Armstrong which is that he admitted to doping. The financial markets have been living on the drugs provided by the worlds central banks and that has been more and more and ever more money pumped into the system. We have become addicted to the stuff and never mind that more pieces of green and blue paper decrease the value of the currency because, with the possible exception of gold, there is nowhere else to go and so the global slosh of capital keeps driving the markets higher; all of the markets. Many point to the rise in the markets as a sign that conditions are improving but this is not the case. If things were getting better then the fundamentals would be telling a very different story.

Currency Wars Heating Up As Taiwan, Korea And China Fire Warning Shots

 

While the overnight session has been relatively quiet, the overarching theme has been a simple one: currency warfare, as more of the world wakes up to what the BOJ is doing and doesn't like it. The latest entrants in global warfare: Taiwan, whose central bank overnight said it would step in the FX market if needed, then Thailand, whose currency was weakened on market adjustment according to Prasarn, and of course South Korea, where the BOK said that global currency war spreads protectionism. Last but not least was China which brought out the big guns after the PBOC deputy governor Yi Gang "warned on currency wars." To wit: "Quantitative easing for developed economies is generating some uncertainties in financial markets in terms of capital flows, Yi, who is also head of Chinas foreign-exchange regulator, told reporters. Competitive devaluation is one aspect of it. If everyone is doing super QE, which currency will depreciate? A currency war, a series of tit-for-tat competitive devaluations, would trigger trade protection measures that would damage global trade and therefore growth globally, said Louis Kuijs, chief China economist at Royal Bank of Scotland Plc in Hong Kong, who previously worked for the World Bank. That would not be good for any country with a stake in the global economy. Which brings us to the fundamental question - if everyone eases, has anyone eased? And is there such a thing as a free lunch when central banks simply finance global deficits while eating their soaring stock market cake too? The answer, of course, is no, but we will cross that bridge soon enough.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu says his nation must prepare for the threat of a chemical attack from Syria, amid concern at enemy efforts to test a post-election coalition Israel, and has deployed its new Iron Dome anti-missile system near the border with its northern neighbor. Along with this concern, as many have perhaps suspected, the Israeli Defense Minister confirmed yesterday that the US has prepared plans for a 'surgical' military operation to delay Iran's nuclear program. As The Jerusalem Post reports, Ehud Barak, added that in the past the US has been heavy-handed but that under Barack Obama, the United States has "prepared quite sophisticated, fine, extremely fine, scalpels," if the worse comes to the worst - even though the Israeli preference would be to end the nuclear threat diplomatically, calling for tougher sanctions (though he expressed doubt that diplomacy would lead to success). Just another geopolitical hotspot that the world's markets choose to ignore in deference to the one true leader - central bankers.

 

 

$600 Billion In Trades In Four Years: How Apple Puts Even The Most Aggressive Hedge Funds To Shame

Everyone knows that for the better part of the past year Apple was the world's biggest company by market cap. Most also know that AAPL aggressively uses all legal tax loopholes to pay as little State and Federal tax as possible, despite being one of the world's most profitable companies. Many know, courtesy of our exclusive from September, that Apple also is the holding company for Braeburn Capital: a firm which with a few exceptions, also happens to be among the world's largest hedge funds, whose function is to manage Apple's massive cash hoard with virtually zero reporting requirements, and whose obligation is to make sure that AAPL's cash gets laundered legally and efficiently in a way that complies with prerogative #1: avoid paying taxes. What few if any know, is that as part of its cash management obligations, Braeburn, and AAPL by extension, has conducted a mindboggling $600 billion worth of gross notional trades in just the past four years, consisting of buying and selling assorted unknown securities, or some $250 billion in 2012 alone: a grand total which represents some $1 billion per working day on average, and which puts the net turnover of some 99% of all hedge funds to shame! Finally, what nobody knows, except for the recipients of course, is just how much in trade commissions AAPL has paid on these hundreds of billions in trades to the brokering banks, many (or maybe all) of which may have found this commission revenue facilitating AAPL having a "Buy" recommendation: a rating shared by 52, or 83% of the raters, despite the company's wiping out of one year in capital gains in a few short months.

 

 

Guest Post: Why Employment Is Dead in the Water

Employment is dead in the water because opportunities for organic expansion are few and the cost basis of doing business in the U.S. keep rising. That vise forces businesses large and small to reduce labor costs while boosting productivity. There is no other way to stay solvent in a post-bubble, over-capacity, over-indebted consumerist economy awash in too much of everything but energy, common sense and fiscal prudence.

{ We’ve never, in the entire history of economics, finance, markets seen the disconnect from economic/financial reality and fundamentals as pronounced and as great as now. The reality of modern-day computer programs/algos/frauds at lightning computerized speed and sheer desperation on fraudulent wall street whose ever larger protected frauds are literally cheered by failed american leadership at every level. Right now, though contraindicated, the superstitious January effect is in play and manipulated to meet faux bullish expectations. Then too, without doubt, what will be their excuse to not ‘sell in May and go away’ which really should be the mantra at present, now, beyond the hot air, smoke and mirrors, fraud and b***s*** we’re once again seeing in large measure, encouraged and received with ebulliently poised irrational exuberance on wall street and in washington.  Remember the ralleys in sympathy with Apple exuberance, all of which we now know to have had a foundation of little more than ‘apple sauce’. Total b***s***! What’s the next b***s*** story/sizzling fraud? The ‘money’ being cashed out by these frauds has to come from someplace (the real economy) and has already found a way into understated/underreported  inflation rates (for a multiple of staples including food prices), lower margins through higher costs thereby manipulated somewhat by currency manipulations, all of which will be ‘coming due’ in a very big way to the downside, reality-based blowout around the corner. }

1-25-13 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com THE DRIVE TO NEW HIGHS 1-25-13  Bulls and portfolio managers often feel peer pressure to not be left out of any major market moves and thus will start chasing certain target levels to achieve market performance. Were not immune to the pressure either but as disciplined trend followers, were aligned with the bulls for now. Many normally effective and reliable technical indicators can be easily steamrolled by the Fed and other central bank liquidity. Investors dont know where to invest beyond stocks presently as alternatives dont produce enough alpha   (performance) than equity markets. The chart below clearly displays the effect of ZIRP and QE on the most sensitive stock sector and others:

http://albertpeia.com/daveschart12513.gif

When the music (money printing) stops things could get quite ugly. Until then, even reluctant investors, must steel themselves up and go. Most portfolio managers, including us, are expecting some correction, but thus far none seems likely as every dip is bought. And, not much investing is being done unhurriedly, as frenetic episodes of trading continue as with Apple (AAPL) and Netflix (NFLX).Were starting to see interest rates rise along with stocks, which could feed on itself. Imagine what would happen to interest payments on U.S. debt if this should happen abruptly, not to mention stock markets. Well, thats for another day. For now the Fed is feeding bulls.In the UK, GDP growth fell to -0.3% vs 0.9% previously as the Olympic Games stimulus faded. This is why the Bank of England restarted its money printers to forestall the possibility of a recession. Business confidence in Germany rose once again. The ECB reported that LTRO loans are being repaid early, mostly from Spanish banks, to the tune of $184 billion. Asian shares were weaker first as South Korea and Samsung shares fell due to the strong won currency. China stocks (Shanghai Index) fell to a one week low as some investors there fretted about valuations.In the U.S., New Home Sales fell (369K vs 388K expected & prior, revised higher, to 398K vs 377K) which didnt seem to faze homebuilders (ITB) too much.Earnings news from Procter & Gamble (PG) was well-received and Halliburton (HAL) beat lowered expectations even as profits fell 26%. Thats the old Wall Street gameCFOs downgrade expectations, analysts comply, then earnings beats become ubiquitous and stocks rise.There is a good bit of rotation still taking place as U.S. shares are more in play at the expense of Asia and emerging markets for example. Risk assets, commodities (DBC) and precious metals (GLD) are less attractive if only currently as the drive toward stocks is primary. The dollar (UUP) was weaker as were bonds (TLT). Volume is still substantially below the prior three-month average, which was also lighter than the previous three-month average. Breadth per the WSJ was positive…’

German Gold Repatriation http://www.wealthdaily.com/articles/german-gold-repatriation/3918 Trust No Longer Exists The big news last week was the initial announcement by Germany that they would be repatriating their gold back to Germany and the political rhetoric that followed..Matt Taibbi, the reporter from Rolling Stone Magazine who recently wrote a scathing commentary on the 2008 government bailout lies, said the following:

But the most appalling part is the lying. The public has been lied to so shamelessly and so often in the course of the past four years that the failure to tell the truth to the general populace has become a kind of baked-in, official feature of the financial rescue. Money wasn't the only thing the government gave Wall Street it also conferred the right to hide the truth from the rest of us. And it was all done in the name of helping regular people and creating jobs. "It is," says former bailout Inspector General Neil Barofsky, "the ultimate bait-and-switch."

The bailout deceptions came early, late and in between. There were lies told in the first moments of their inception, and others still being told four years later. The lies, in fact, were the most important mechanisms of the bailout. The only reason investors haven't run screaming from an obviously corrupt financial marketplace is because the government has gone to such extraordinary lengths to sell the narrative that the problems of 2008 have been fixed. Investors may not actually believe the lie, but they are impressed by how totally committed the government has been, from the very beginning, to selling it.

Its all just a pile of lies and grand deceptions to keep the people in the dark.

Apple's Flash Dump In The Last Second Of Trading Caught On Tape

Sure, the retail "investors" are coming back into the "markets"... They are coming back in shifts.  And just so they know what to expect, here is what happened to Apple stock in the last second of regular trading today, courtesy of Nanex. Unlike traditional flash crashes where the trade is an HFT error, or a few shares traded through the entire bid or offer stack, in this case it looks like a very premeditated unloading of some 800K shares (some $350 million worth) of AAPL in the last second, with the full knowledge it was shake the market. Why anyone would want (or wait until the very last second) to do that, while covering the offsetting ES short in the pair trade, to ramp the market into the close, is anyone's guess.

Taleb On "Skin In The Game" And His Disdain For Public Intellectuals

Nassim Taleb sits down for a quite extensive interview based around his new book Anti-Fragile. Whether the Black Swan best-seller is philosopher or trader is up to you but the discussion is worth the time as Taleb wonders rigorously from the basic tenets of capitalism - "being more about disincentives that incentives" as failure (he believes) is critical to its success (and is clearly not allowed in our current environment) - to his intellectual influences (and total disdain for the likes of Krugman, Stiglitz, and Friedman - who all espouse grandiose and verbose work with no accountability whatsoever). His fears of large centralized states (such as the US is becoming and Europe is become) being prone to fail along with his libertarianism make for good viewing. However, his fundamental premise that TBTF banks should be nationalized and the critical importance of 'skin in the game' for a functioning financial system are all so crucial for the current 'do no harm' regime in which we live. Grab a beer (or glass of wine, it is Taleb) and watch...

 

 

Marc Faber Fears 1987 Redux As "Markets Will Punish Interventionists"

"Regardless of what the markets do near-term, a correction is overdue," Marc Faber tells Bloomberg TV's Betty Liu. From discussing Europe's 'apparent' stabilization - "anything can go up when you print money"; to US equity exuberance - "a correction is overdue and February is a seasonally weak month"; Faber sees no change from Geithner's handover to Lew as he opines: "The only thing I know is one day the markets will punish the interventionists, the Keynesians and the monetary policy that the Federal Reserve and ECB has enforced because the markets will be more powerful one day. How will this look like? Will the bond market collapse or equity markets become a bubble, which would be embarrassing for the Fed's sake if the U.S. market became a gigantic bubble and at the same time the economy does not recover."  { Weve never, in the entire history of economics, finance, markets seen the disconnect from economic/financial reality and fundamentals as pronounced and as great as now.

Visualizing The Euphoria

Drip...drip...drip... day by day, stocks leak higher, gradually inching up to record nominal highs; credit yields compress to record lows (and spreads near record pre-crisis tights); and volatility compresses (realized and implied) to near all-time-record lows. We have discussed the positioning of the market (S&P 500 futures at their net longest since 2007), crowded nature (JPY Shorts and NKY Longs), and sentiment (AAII Bulls near record highs). But, it is Credit Suisse indicator of risk appetite that should be worrisome for most investors. With Credit Risk Appetite well beyond any previous record high and Global Risk Appetite at its highest since 2006, perhaps it is time to consider the hedging discussion we had yesterday? With the euphoria dramatically dislocated from fundamentals and empirical world wealth trough-to-peak moves indicating a turning point, the lack of bearish arguments is deafening.

Bob Shiller's Healthy Dose Of Skepticism

In a week dominated by prognosticators pointing reflexively to a nominal price index flashing green on their TV as indication that all is well in the world, Bob Shiller provides some much-needed healthy skepticism on not just the state of the housing market but the broad economy itself. While Bloomberg TV's Tom Keene presses his short-term anchoring-biased view of a world heading for much better growth and a US housing recovery that will seemingly save us all; Shiller warns we have seen this before (in 2009's housing market) and that the housing decline could go on. When Keene tries to translate the market's performance into economic performance expectations, Shiller responds "you are talking to wrong man." From the fact that we should be growing super-normally now to return to 'normal' market conditions to his view of many more years to go in this stagnation, four minutes of Shiller's historical prescience is the perfect foil to the tick-watching talking-heads exuberance (especially in light of today's dismal new home sales).

 

 

Second Consecutive Week Of Outflows From US Equities

It is funny what one finds when one actually looks at the data behind the headlines, such as in this case the trumpeted amazing return of investors to the US stock market. Because what one does find is that after that one blistering week after the new year, in which wealthy individuals dumped cash they had put aside (for lack of knowledge of what the dividend tax would be in 2013), we now have, for the second week in a row, seen a material outflow from US equity funds as tracked by Lipper, bringing the total two week outflow from the domestic equity sector to some $5.8 billion. Oh, and the great non-rotation out bonds continues with some $8.5 billion pumped into taxable bond funds and $2.3 billion into municipal bonds in the past two weeks.

1-24-13  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  APPLES STILL OVER-OWNED? 1-24-13 (and over-loved!) Most news away from Apple was positive. Chinas Mfg PMI rose to 51.9 vs 51.5 (best in 2 years); Europes PMI rose to 48.2 vs 47.02 (still below 50 but rising); and, U.S. Jobless Claims fell (330K vs 360K expected & prior 335K). Superficially this looks great but little mentioned was during the first week of January 365.8K people lost their benefits and fell of the rolls. This means the unemployment rate should decline but the participation rate and numbers of people working wont look goodbut, algos dont look under the hood too much. Also Flash PMI spiked to 56.1 vs 54 previously and Leading Indicators rose (.5% vs .4% expected & prior 0.0%). Lastly Leading Indicators also rose (.5% vs .4% expected & prior 0.00%) and the little noticed Kansas City Fed Mfg Index fell (-2 vs 2 expected & prior -1) which is only notable since its negative reading jives with NY, Richmond and Philly Fed reading.Overseas markets were doing well until North Korea threatened another nuclear bomb test.With little fanfare the Fed announces its balance sheet is now in excess of $3 trillion. Let that swirl around in your brain.Earnings from Netflix (NFLX) allowed the stock to explode 40% even as the company will only breakeven in the next quarter.

Energy (XLE) sectors were higher led by bigger name DJIA components like (XOM) and (CVX).Risk assets like gold (GLD) and other metals remain out of favor as investors seek alpha via stocks. The dollar (UUP) was flat and bond (TLT) prices weakened as stocks rose.Apple (AAPL) earnings caused a heavy sell-off in stocks as iPhone sales and margins remain under pressure. Apples outsized weighting negatively affected tech (XLK) and (QQQ) dragging these sectors lower. Ive pointed out for some time that Apple was, by a long shot, the largest holding of hedge funds as of September 2012. Many mutual funds and pension plans held the stock as a must own. The inevitable margin squeeze from competition is the final shoe to drop. In China the most popular device is from China Wireless where its Coolpad sells for $100.Financials (XLF), transports (IYT) and select retail (XRT) sectors led markets higher despite Apple giving the market a flat tire.Volume overall did pick up on Thursday in two-way action. Breadth per the WSJ was mildly positive…’ 

 

 

30 Population Control Quotes That Show That The Elite Truly Believe That Humans Are A Plague Upon The Earth

http://thetruthwins.com

http://albertpeia.com/humanplagueonearth.htm

{ It really doesn’t matter what they believe; but rather, it’s what is, that counts. Anyone with average intelligence or better, if they’ve been paying attention, ineluctably must conclude that humans are a ‘net negative’ in real terms. That will never change! Human beings are, on balance, inherently destructive. Fortunately, universally, there is no significant impact inasmuch as the human plague is confined to this solar system; and, for all intents and purposes, to this dying planet. Remember, there’s just decades left at best! }

29 Signs That The Elite Are Transforming Society Into A Total Domination Control Grid

[   12 Pictures That Demonstrate How The New World Order Openly Mocks Us http://albertpeia.com/newworldordervedgesmockus.htm  { First, let me say that the vedges of the so-called new world order are in no real position to mock anyone, so mockable as they indeed are, as the incompetent vegetables that they in fact are, who have been the very architects of ultimately their own and the planets decline, fall, and demise. Yet, there is no question but that the masses so mocked, deserve to be mocked, having embraced their dismal fate at every turn; viz., their embrace of political correctness, though contraindicated, as, ie., the embrace of the violent, destructive nigger who literally would have them for dinner, or the compulsion to embrace that which the state says is right, though contraindicated, for political expedience owing to failure fed (including the incompetent missteps of the failed fed) desperation, ie., gay marriage, etc., contrived wars / conflicts, among other clearly observable, self-interested behavior of people, companies, nations, including the gargantuan bailed out frauds on wall street to everyones (but the frauds) detriment, still unprosecuted. That the jive-talking, b***s*** artist/grifter/con-man obama has not been held to even one of his former now broken campaign promises and is embraced by those foolish enough to believe more of the same is testament to how deserving of mocking the masses truly are (people should be outraged and wobama should be ridden out on a rail). Make no mistake; the reality is that the new world order/so-called elite are not elite at all; but rather, incompetent vegetables who cant do anything right as theyve now proven time and time again.

Fed's Balance Sheet Tops $3 Trillion, But...

that's not true. The Fed's balance sheet, from a transaction basis, topped $3 trillion some 5-6 weeks ago. The only reason the Fed reported a $3 trillion number in today's H.4.1, or $3.013,333 trillion to be precise, is because all those MBS purchased in September and October following the September 13 reactivation of QE4EVA finally settled. In reality, the Fed's balance sheet is now some $3.12 trillion as there is about a $80-$120 billion lag between what the Fed has actually purchased, and what has settled. Luckily, at least Treasury purchases take far less to settle.

 

 

Blow-Off Top? Or Just Another Run-Stop? AAPL 12% Drop!

Updated for the summary of MSFT, SBUX and T earnings.

Amid the deafening screams of hundreds of hedge fund managers looking for any hedging port in an AAPL storm, stock indices (expect the Nasdaq) surged to new highs from the moment the US day-session began until POMO was complete and European markets closed. Volume and block size was large as we took out S&P 500 highs up to 1500 and it appeared we ran out of the short-term proverbial great fool. In general, risk-assets and stocks were well correlated though the big disconnect today was a rising VIX. HY Credit did not play along with the exuberance early on either - as it seemed relatively clear that any and every trick in the book was being used to enable more out of the AAPL boat as we ramped up to VWAP. Once Europe had closed, AAPL slid, stocks slid (with S&P 500 dropping its most of 2013 so far), and risk-assets in general slid lower. JPY weakness and EUR strength helped support risk but Treasury yields falling back and a drop in commodities overall (Gold -0.9% on the week) had the opposite effect. The typical late-day ramp failed despite the best efforts of vol compression as stocks closed almost unch, at VWAP, in line with risk-assets (ahead of tomorrow's LTRO news). AAPL at lows as ramp failed...

 

Gallup Poll: Americans Most Negative On the Nation And Economy In 30 Years

We guess Americans just havent heard of a little something called the stock market.  Isnt that right Bernanke?  Wasnt the stock market rally you engineered supposed to make everyone feel all nice and confident?  Well the great middle class squeeze continues, as the stock market is for the 1% what food stamps are for the poor.  They are just strategies to keep these groups apathetic and obedient.  The middle class isnt buying it though, as is evidenced by this recent Gallup Poll conducted January 7-10, 2013.

Insurers To White House: Delay ObamaCare Or Risk "Chaos"

With eight months left until million of Americans are supposed to begin shopping at online markets created by the Obamacare 'tax' law, the insurance industry is concerned at the government's lack of readiness. Bloomberg reports that Jim Donelon, the head of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, suggested that President Obama may need to delay the implementation of the health-care overhaul or "risk chaos" when the subsidized plans go on sale later this year. While it is clear that the administration has shown no sign of seeking a delay, Donelon notes that "...to rush into implementation before it's ready would not be in the President's best interest."

 

Guest Post: The Road To Debt-Serfdom

Ours is a dysfunctional debt-based Empire that buys the complicity of its debt-serfs with entitlement bread and circuses. The road to debt-serfdom is paved by the banks and enforced by the Central State. If there is any point that is lost on ideologues, Progressive and Conservative alike, it is this: the first-order servitude and second-order tyranny of debt-serfdom can only occur if the banks' power is extended and protected by an expansive Central State.

 

 

Gold Backed Bonds - An Alternative To European Austerity?

The World Gold Council and leading academics and international think tanks believe that using a portion of a nation's gold reserves to back sovereign debt would lower sovereign debt yields and give some of the Eurozone's most distressed countries time to work on economic reform and recovery. According to research done by the World Gold Council using the European gold reserves as collateral for new sovereign debt issues would mean that without selling an ounce of gold, Eurozone countries could raise 413 billion. This is over 20% of Italy's and Portugal's two year borrowing requirements.  The move to back sovereign bonds with gold would lower sovereign debt yields, without increasing inflation, which would help to calm markets. This should give European countries some vital breathing space to work on economic reform and recovery. Some citizens would be concerned that there may be a risk that the sovereign nations who pledge their gold as collateral could ultimately end up losing their gold reserves to the ECB, or whoever the collateral of the gold reserves are pledged to, in the event of a default. Unlike currency debasement and the printing and electronic creation of money to buy sovereign debt, under schemes such as Draghi's outright monetary transactions (OMT), the use of gold as collateral would not create fiscal transfers between Eurozone members, long term inflation or currency devaluation risk.

 

 

Second Consecutive Week Of Outflows From US Equities

It is funny what one finds when one actually looks at the data behind the headlines, such as in this case the trumpeted amazing return of investors to the US stock market. Because what one does find is that after that one blistering week after the new year, in which wealthy individuals dumped cash they had put aside (for lack of knowledge of what the dividend tax would be in 2013), we now have, for the second week in a row, seen a material outflow from US equity funds as tracked by Lipper, bringing the total two week outflow from the domestic equity sector to some $5.8 billion. Oh, and the great non-rotation out bonds continues with some $8.5 billion pumped into taxable bond funds and $2.3 billion into municipal bonds in the past two weeks.

 

Spot The 'Different This Time' Seasonal Fudging In Macro Data

We have noted the odd cyclicality in macro data (and its leading effect on the market) and it seems Goldman Sachs has also noticed that something is different this time. For 15 years, the seasonal patterns in Goldman's macro index have been mild to totally negligible; but since 2009, something changed. As the chart below indicates, it really is different this time as the macro cycle has become extremely short and consistent (drop in H1, rise in H2) - and is evident not just top-down but bottom-up in payrolls and ISM for instance. Goldman expounds pages of statistical jiggery-pokery to show what we suspected - that this is not weather or seasonality effects, and is not just US (UK and Europe see same pattern of six month cycles); but appears driven by central-bank policy actions (which have been more concentrated in Q4/Q1). 2013 is playing out exactly as the last three years has - with a downdraft that is set to continue for the next few months - though they note that stability in oil prices this time (and recent expansion of easing efforts - Fed and BoJ) may shift the pattern. For now, it appears the macro cycle is becoming shorter and warrants concern as they are unable to find anything but 'reality' as a driver of this odd cyclical pattern as the real economy fades rapidly after each and every infusion of promises from the Central Banks.

 

 

And The Reason For Today's Five Years Initial Claims Low Is...

... is not the economy, which as we pointed out earlier just crossed into "worst recovery ever" territory, or even actual layoff events. The reason is, as always when there is a massive "beat" in any US economic data, the same tried and true estimation magic out of the BLS appearing so conveniently at appropriate times, which estimated the claims numbers of 3 states, among which those of the most populous: California.

 

 

S&P 500 Crosses 1500

If there was one day needing some truly epic distraction from the bloodbath of the world's most widely held stock (held by some 231 hedge funds as of September 30, and countless mutual and other plain vanilla funds), it was today. And sure enough, it came courtesy of the S&P, which "restored" confidence that 'all is well' after it just crossed 1500 for the first time since 2007. The only thing missing were balloons falling from the sky saying "all is well, keep calm, the NY Fed-Citadel fat trading pipe is working perfectly and will keep buying stuff as long as needed." It would appear the Long-AAPL, short S&P trade is in full unwind mode - and we note that trade size is large up here.

 

 

Chart Of The Day: Dandruff Time For The Nasdaq?

With the world and his mum applauding day-after-day as the nominal price of the major equity indices push to either i) all-time highs, or ii) post-crisis highs; and any and every measure of 'fear' (e.g. volatility and credit spreads) is repressed to limit-zero; there is an annoying glitch in the new market-based reality that has become our barometer of how we feel. Since the 2009 lows, every new market high has been confirmed by the Nasdaq - until now that is - as the divergence between the tech-dominated 'new normal' index and the rampacious Dow Transports or Industrials (dominated by one or two names each and every day) has grown significantly. The worrying chart below, perhaps suggests that the broad Nasdaq index is about to begin the down leg of a major head-and-shoulders pattern - helped by none other than 'most-held' Apple. Are non-Nasdaq indices being driven by the hedge unwinds against this mega-holding?

 

 

It's Official: Worst. Recovery. EVER

If there was any debate whether the Fed's policies have helped the economy or just the market (and specifically the Bernanke-targeted Russell 2000), the following two charts will end any and all debate. As the following chart from the St Louis Fed shows, as of the just completed quarter, US GDP "growth" since the "recovery" is now the worst in US history, having just dipped below the heretofore lowest on record.

 

 

Learning A Harsh Lesson

The present is a time when things are in great confusion. We are creating money from nothing and yet enjoying the fruits of their labors. The economies in Europe and in Japan and America are worsening and yet yields for their sovereign debt are barely off all-time lows. The stock markets of the world, following the 2008/2009 financial crisis, are back at new highs. All of this has taken place because the worlds central banks, acting in concert, have pumped enough small pieces of paper into the fire to keep it burning long into the night and so all of the markets on the planet have been stoked with fuel. When the fundamentals of the markets are out of line with their performance then history teaches us that at some point rational behavior will cause a correction. It was just five years ago when the world learned a rather harsh lesson. It was a lesson that cost Americans 36% of their wealth.

 

 

Initial Jobless Claims Drop To Lowest Since January 2008 As 366K People Fall Off Extended Claims

 

While it is unclear how many states' data the BLS had to estimate today, the weekly initial claims print was impressive, sliding even lower than last week, when it came at 335K, and refuting expectations of a rise to 355K, instead reversing and printing the lowest weekly number since January 2008: 330K. What is impressive is that the NSA number dropped by a whopping 120K in the past week, making one wonder how much of the ongoing moves are simply a seasonal adjustments mismatch (a question even Goldman asked last night). Perhaps just as curious is that a whopping 365,641 people dropped off Extended Claims in the first week of January, unclear if this had anything to do with the Fiscal Cliff can kicking: certainly a third of a million Americans suddenly stopped receiving weekly jobless claims benefits from Uncle Sam. The biggest news from this is that with so many people dropping out of the labor force, the January unemployment rate will truly plunge, which is precisely the red flag observed by traders, and is the reason why the market is not taking this news in stride. Remember - all it takes for the end of endless QE is a stable improvement in the labor pool. Could this be it? Of course not, but doubts are starting to emerge.

1-23-13 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  APPLE MISSES, IBM CARRIES THE DAY  1-23-13  Markets are quickly surpassing September 2012 highs not led so much by great earnings as by Fed liquidity and ZIRP. Thats about the size of things. Theoretically this action will continue until it cant if good economic news will force interest rates to rise and the Fed to back off. Just imagine what would happen to our national interest expense if interest rates rose on this huge debt and deficits! Then the public and investors will take notice. In the meantime any stock market dips will be bought it seems steamrolling conventional technical indicators. Not that many noticed but Fed Minutes from 2007 have been released and it is well-noted if not ignored how inept Fed governors, including Bernanke, were in regards to the impending financial crisis. Most blew-off concerns about Bear Stearns, Countrywide and other troubles except for Fed Governor Richard Fisher. A quick summary is here with the conclusion of how little there really is in the way of transparency. Obviously, this is just a speed bump for todays rally as today alone another $5.7 billion in bond buying took place.  Markets are doing nothing in a small way as Netflix (NFLX) beat expectations (meaning the company will breakeven going forward) sending the stock soaring by nearly 25%. This is silly behavior. IBMs trading and weighting Wednesday accounted for the entire gain in the DJIA. So, if youre looking at your portfolio and didnt see much movement its because you didnt own IBM. Lagging sectors Wednesday included financials (XLF) and most consumer related sectors (XLP) and (XRT) for example. Important Apples (AAPL) earnings came in at $13.81 vs $13.84 which put the stock sharply lower initially. It appears that Apple is facing strong competition globally and China in particular as China Wireless is selling comparable devices for less than $100. I was waylaid today by outside appointments so this recap will be short. The dollar (UUP) ended flat despite a wide intraday range while gold (GLD) higher early fell. Commodities (DBC) were flat as most risk assets fell to advancing stocks. Bonds (TLT) were weaker with stocks rising.  Volume remains ultra-light as SPY trades less than 100M shares again. Breadth per the WSJ was actually negative highlighting the IBM impact making the day misleading…’

25 Signs American Women Are Being Destroyed By The Sexual Revolution And Our Promiscuous Culture

http://endoftheamericandream.com

http://albertpeia.com/uspromiscuity.htm

{  I’ve included the following previous reference/link as a matter of disclosure and so as not to appear as a hypocrite in the context of this referenced subject:  Drudgereport: STUDY: Girls As Young As 6 See Themselves As Sex Objects... { Wow! This is really quite alarming and bespeaks america’s new-found perverse, third-world uncivilized status, which is ‘picked up’ by kids who in some ways are smarter than given credit for with a vulnerable longing to please, be accepted in light of their powerless position in our ever more deteriorating society. For the record, personally, I’ve never had a virgin though I’ve been in a position to; that’s something I just don’t do. Never have, never wanted to, never would, never will! Moreover, with the prevalence of sick pedophiles and kiddie-porn, it’s not so surprising that kids might pick up on such abominable vibes. It is difficult to imagine that little girls could be the objects of such horror as, ie., Samantha Runnion ( who was kidnapped, sexually abused and strangled by a man who lured her from her front yard by telling her he had lost his dog. Her naked body was found the next day by a hiker in Cleveland National Forest, 50 miles southeast of Stanton.[1] The autopsy revealed that she died from compression. A sample of the kidnapper's DNA was found under her fingernail. The suspect, a Lake Elsinore, California, man named Alejandro Avila, was convicted of first degree murder with special circumstances in May 2005. His DNA was found on Samantha's body, and her DNA was found in his car. He was arrested three days after the abduction. Avila had previously been to the condominium complex where Samantha lived, because his ex-girlfriend resided there and he had been previously acquitted of molesting her daughter and niece. On May 16, 2005, the jury recommended he receive the death penalty. On July 22, 2005, Avila was formally sentenced to death. He is incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison on death row ). As an aside, I’ve included the following for the record as well: Though I’ve had many consensual sexual liasons with many different female sexual partners (mid-hundreds) all of whom I liked, I’ve never, ever resorted to prostitutes. The accidental exceptions included two ‘call girls’; one having met at summer beach town bar matinee and who was ‘not working’ (as it turned out the reason being she was at the end of her menstrual cycle). The other at a grocery store with her daughter which made such in my mind, unlikely. As it turned out, both were ‘nymphomaniacs’ (which, truth be told, made for quite an exceptional sexual romp) and I simplistically inferred/surmised without dwelling on the subject that they probably expected they’d have inordinate amounts of sex anyway and might as well get paid for it – of course I didn’t nor was I asked to pay. The other incident I’m including here for the record concerned an absolutely beautiful (blonde hair, blue eyes, pretty, cute, perfectly built/proportioned – make no mistake, however, I like brunettes also) girl I met at a bar called ‘the Red Ranch’, later changed to ‘Harpoon Willy’s’. At closing, we immediately became amorous, near intimate to a point in my car with abrupt ‘resistance’ at the ‘crucial moments’. When I finally, ‘exasperated’, asked ‘what’s up’, she stated she had recently broken up with her boyfriend who had gone too far in the ‘sado-masochistic’ ritual behavior they were, and she still was into. I told her I wasn’t into it  (I don’t connect sex with sado-masochism); never would, never did, never will. We talked for quite some time and she explained her ‘predisposition’ the (her perceived) consequence of her strict, puritanical upbringing and feelings of guilt concomitant with sexual activity requiring coincident punishment/pain when so engaged. I was busy with law school evenings, work full-time, and teaching at a local college part-time and parted ways without taking her number and never did see her again. }

Assistant Attorney General Breuer Gets DOJ Boot In "Untouchables" Aftermath

Earlier today, we reported that "Assistant Attorney General Admits On TV That In The US Justice Does Not Apply To The Banks" when we commented on last night's PBS special "The Untouchables." Explicitly, we said that it was "Lenny Breuer who made it very clear that when it comes to the concept of justice the banks are and always have been "more equal" than others. He does so in such shocking clarity and enthusiasm that it is a miracle that this person is still employed by the US Department of Justice." As of minutes ago that is no longer the case as his employment contract has been torn up. The WaPo reports, that Lanny A. Breuer is leaving the Justice Department "after leading the agencys efforts to clamp down on public corruption and financial fraud at the nations largest banks, according to several people familiar with the matter....It is not clear when Breuer intends to leave, nor what he plans to do once he departs, but it is certain that the prosecutors days in office are winding down, according to people who were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter."

 

Guest Post: Apparitions In The Fog

After digesting the opinions of the shills, shysters and scam artists, I am ready to predict that I have no clue what will happen during 2013. The fog of uncertainty is engulfing the nation, making consumers hesitant to spend and businesses reluctant to hire or invest. Virtually all of the mainstream media, Wall Street banks and paid shill economists are in agreement that 2013 will see improvement in employment, housing, retail spending and, of course the only thing that matters to the ruling class, the stock market. Even among the alternative media, there seems to be a consensus that we will continue to muddle through and the day of reckoning is still a few years off. Those who are predicting improvements are either ignorant of history or are being paid to predict improvement, despite the overwhelming evidence of a worsening economic climate. The mainstream media pundits, fulfilling their assigned task of purveying feel good propaganda, use the 10% stock market gain in 2012 as proof of economic recovery. The facts prove otherwise... Every day more people are realizing the con-job being perpetuated by the owners of this country. Will the tipping point be reached in 2013? I dont know. But the era of decisiveness and confrontation has arrived. The existing social order will be swept away. Are you prepared?

 

 

Surveying The Wreckage; AAPL Plummets To January 2012 Lows And Still Going

AAPL's after-hours loss in market cap is greater than the market cap of one BlackRock, Starbucks, Target, Costco, or Nike. Down almost 9% from yesterday's close, AAPL is trading down to January 2012 levels (off 35% from its highs) and is now notably less capitalized than the entire European banking system. Of course, this has had serious consequences for the major indices that are trading after-hours (and futures). Futures traded down to the day-session lows before closing but QQQ are now trading at 6-day lows in after-hours...and as S&P futures reopen they are gapping down a little more.

 

 

 

AAPL Meets EPS, Misses Revenues, Fails To Impress With In Line iPhone Sales, Total Cash Grows To $137.1 Billion

The most anticipated earnings release of the quarter has come and it has been a dud, at least judging by the market's expectations and its response. Because while EPS beats just barely (a far cry from the epic EPS beats of Steve Jobs days) coming at $13.81 on expectations of a $13.53 print, revenue outright missed, coming at $54.5 billion on expectations of a $54.9 billion Q1 2013 result. Furthermore, fears about profit margins were proven correct, with total gross profit coming in at $21.1 billion, which alas was 38.6% of revenue, well below the vaunted 40% threshold (as a reference margin was 44.7% a year ago, and 40.0% a quarter ago). And finally, the breakdown by components in the iPhone 5 release quarter was just, well, meh.

 

 

Netflix Beats, Guides Higher As Free Cash Flow Implodes

One look at the headline numbers, and of course the short interest of Netflix, and one can see why the stock is being squeezed by nearly 30% after hours:

Q4 Revenue: $945 MM, Exp. $934 MM

Q4 EPS of $0.13, Exp. $(0.13)

Q4 domestic contribution margin 18.5%, up from 16.4% in Q3 and 10.9$ in Q4 2011

Total domestic subscribers 27.15 MM, paying subs: 25.47 MM

Forecasts 28.5MM-29.2MM domestic subscribers in Q1

Sees Q1 Revenues of $1.004 billion to $1.031 billion

Domestic DVD subs dropped from 8.61 to 8.22 while generating $254MM in revenue and $128MM in profit

In fact, all is either just a little bit better or much better if one looks at the projection set... until one looks at the actual Cash generated by the Business. Behold the Free Cash Flow as reported by the company... no, not AMZN, although it may well be its small cousin.

 

 

POMO Pump Rescues Stocks Again But Risk-Assets Fade

In the old days, it was Fed via POMO to stocks; but given the new normal, now we have levered POMO to rescue us via vol compression and yet again - today saw risk-assets sliding all night (though admittedly only around 0.5% off highs) only to be rescued by a vol-compressing equity push that started the moment POMO finished. HY credit was tinkered with in the last hour to keep things afloat and of course AAPL soared into its earnings report. The debt-ceiling vote did little to maintain risk-on as CAD weakness (BoC holding off from rate hikes) pulled the USD higher, and hurt risk-on commodities - as Oil plunged on the day. Treasury yields continued to fall - entirely ignoring stocks once again - even though stocks caught down to risk early and ended at new five-year highs on the Dow (thanks almost entirely to IBM). So low volume in stocks (AAPL decent volume), low average trade size in S&P futures, and a disconnected equity market from bonds and FX once again... eyes down for an Apple full-house...

 

 

A Clinton Scorned - "What Difference Does It Make"

Hell hath no fury... After an extensive 24,500 word hearing, it would appear we are not really any closer to knowing who knew what when and why we weren't told. However, while the invisible hand of the word-cloud fairy found it useful to highlight the words 'People', 'Think', and 'Know', perhaps it was Hilary's infuriated outburst (clip below) when pressed on what happened that sums it all up in her eyes: "What Difference Does It Make?" It seems that once again 'they' know what is best for us to know and not know... But perhaps the only relevant statement in the entire theatrical presentation was the following: "we don't have assets of any significance right now on the African continent.

Two days ago we presented the complete hedge fund performance for 2012, in which it was clear that David Einhorn's Greenlight had a Q4 that did not go quite as expected, primarily as a result of AAPL plunging in the quarter, and his hated GMCR soaring, leaving his fund with a 8% return for the year (and -5% for the quarter), well below the general market and some of his far more vocal hedge fund peers. Those curious just what it is that caused this underperformance, here is the complete Greenlight Q4 letter discussing not only why Einhorn is doubling down in AAPL, why he still likes Marvell, Computer Sciences and Vodafone, as well as his continuing negative outlook on Iron ore, and the Yen. He closed out positions in WLP, MCO, DIA, ITX and PBI. In summary: "At quarter end, the largest disclosed long positions in the Partnerships were Apple, Cigna, General Motors, gold and Vodafone Group. The Partnerships had an average exposure of 114% long and 70% short."

 

 

Bank Of Italy Throws The Book At Monte Paschi For "Hiding Derviative Documents"

As we reported previously, the stock of the oldest bank in the world, Italy's venerable Banca Monte Dei Paschi of Siena, was halted in early trade after plunging on news that the bank had engaged in not only the previously reported secret derivative transaction with Deustche Bank to hide losses before a prior government bailout, but yet another derivative transaction, this time with Nomura, signed three years ago and whose intention, ironically, was to reduce 2012 earnings by some 220 million.What the ultimate purpose of these deals was is still unclear and will likely become apparent eventually, however it will likely require the former Chairman of the bank, Giuseppe Mussari, who served as Chair from 2006 until April 2012, and who officially quit his post as Italy's top banking lobbyist after today's revelations, to testify. One person whom he may testify against is none other than current ECB head Mario Draghi, who just happened to be the head of the Bank of Italy from 2006 to 2011, or the entire period when Monte Paschi was engaging in what increasingly appears to have been fraudulent activity.But don't worry: just like in the US, nobody of signfiicance is about to go down for this "glitch" which is about to be blamed on some poor mid-level shmuck, and which nobody in the senior level management had any idea about, and certainly not the person who ultimately would have had to give the green light: the current head of the ECB.

 

 

Stocks Rise As House Kicks Debt Ceiling Can To May 19; IBM Accounts For 76 Of 73 Up Dow Jones Points

No sooner had the House got its 212 votes to pass (with 109 Democrats voting against) the debt-ceiling extension "No Budget, No Pay" bill then Silver and US equities began to rise. At the same time, WTI started to crack lower. Now it is over to Harry Reid and the promised 'smooth sailing' through the Senate. As a reminder for all those ebullient Dow watchers, IBM's gains today account for 76 Dow points - which means the remaining 29 names of the Dow are -3 points! The brief risk-on rally is already fading...priced-in? or doesn't matter?

As CSPAN notes, the deal would raise the government's current $16.4 trillion debt limit until May 19. In exchange, the House and Senate must pass a budget resolution by April 15 or place members' salaries in an escrow account until the chamber acts. The bluff-calling continues...

 

 

Money Cannot Buy Growth

Since Alan Greenspan became the Fed chairman in 1987, there has been a policy consensus on the primary role and effectiveness of monetary policy in cushioning an economic downturn and kicking it back to growth. Fiscal policy, due to the political difficulties in making meaningful changes, was relegated to a minor role in economic management. Staving off crisis and reviving growth still dominate today's conversation. The prima facie evidence is that the experiment has failed. The dominant voice in policy discussions is advocating more of the same. When a medicine isn't working, it could be the wrong one or the dosage isn't sufficient. The world is trying the latter. But, if the medicine is really wrong, more and more of the same will kill the patient one day. The global economy was a debt bubble, functioning on China over-borrowing and investing and the West over-borrowing and consuming. The dynamic came to an end when the debt crises exposed debt levels in the West as too high. The last source of debt growth, the U.S. government, is coming to an end, too, as politics forces it to reduce the deficit. Trying to bring back yesterday through monetary growth will eventually bring inflation, not growth.

 

 

Assistant Attorney General Admits On TV That In The US Justice Does Not Apply To The Banks

MARTIN SMITH: Is that really the job of a prosecutor, to worry about anything other than simply pursuing justice?

LANNY BREUER: Well, I think I am pursuing justice. And I think the entire responsibility of the department is to pursue justice. But in any given case, I think I and prosecutors around the country, being responsible, should speak to regulators, should speak to experts, because if I bring a case against institution A, and as a result of bringing that case, theres some huge economic effect if it creates a ripple effect so that suddenly, counterparties and other financial institutions or other companies that had nothing to do with this are affected badly its a factor we need to know and understand.

 

 

IMF Cuts Global Growth, Sees 2013 European Recession

As with every piece of potentially bad news in the here and now, the IMF provides some bone for bulls to gnaw on by offering hope that 2014 will be considerably better. What at first glance is a broad-based slashing of global growth outlooks for 2013 ends up being yet another hockey-stick expectation dangled out in front of the world's investors. With Europe now downgraded to a recession in 2013 (GDP -0.2%), we should not fear though as Olivier Blanchard adds that "If crisis risks do not materialize and financial conditions continue to improve, global growth could be stronger than projected," and sure enough 2014 is expected to herald a new era of growthiness (GDP +1.0%) for the troubled region. He does offer one note of reality that is critical - "Financial market optimism should not lead to policy complacency" - alas we fear that time has long gone. World Trade Volume expectations have been ratcheted lower with Brazil and Newly Industrialized Asia seeing the biggest downgrades to growth.

 

 

The Socialism Of Europe Has Arrived At Our Shores...

I am sorry to tell you that whatever door that had been opened is now closed. America has turned the corner from the self-sufficiency of an individual to a new ideology for this country which is that incomes and life-styles should be equalized by taxes in the name of patriotism and for the greater good. The Socialism of much of Europe has arrived at our shores and spread from sea to shining sea and the safety net of decades past for our less fortunate citizens has been raised to a harmonization of social/governmental benefits regardless of hours worked or income earned. Stock markets rise, Treasury yields decrease, other bonds compress because there is no place off-world to invest money and it must be put somewhere. We are living in a fantasy world of the voters making and, I predict with some certainty, that we will all suffer the consequences of our decisions. The problem is extremely serious, answers are frustrating and aggravating and great care must now be exercised because this cliff is exceedingly steep.

 

 

China Narrowly Averts Credit Bubble Pop With Latest Government Bailout Of First Domestic Bond Default

 

A Chinese solar firm which nearly produced the country's first domestic bond default will complete an interest payment on schedule after a local government intervened on its behalf. Investors say the latest instance of a government riding to the rescue of a troubled Chinese firm has led to moral hazard and inefficient credit allocation. In previous near-defaults, local governments had stepped in directly to arrange bailout funding. But as in past cases, the deal flouts legal notions of debt seniority by allowing one group of creditors - bondholders - to get paid in full, even as a pre-existing default remains un-cured. Analysts say the market does not effectively price in risk because investors assume the government will never allow a default.

 

 

New Study Shows: Food Fraud Soared 60% Last Year

From 11-inch subways to under-quality coffee and from watered-down beer and fake beef, food fraud is on the rise. So what is food fraud anyway?  Well, its sort of what you would expect.  Its when companies label food one way, but the truth turns out to be completely different.  I have been predicting an escalation in this trend for years, since it was obvious that as inflation led to increases in food prices, companies would resort to this type of behavior to keep margins inflated. So in their latest study, the non-profit food fraud detectives at the U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) show us the extent of this extremely dangerous trend.

 

 

Oldest Bank In The World Plunges, Halted As Chairman Resigns In Aftermath Of Latest Derivatives Fiasco

Last week, following documentation from Deutsche Bank (and Nomura), it became clear that Italy's Monte Paschi (BMPS) bank (the oldest in the world) has engaged in derivatives with the German and Japanese banks in order to save itself during the financial crisis. The derivatives, according to Bloomberg, were done off-market and allowed the booking of large upfront gains which covered losses optically that the bank faced as European liquidity dried up completely - the offsetting 'losses' are now coming due. Today, amid growing outcry over the 'deal', the former head of BMPS has resigned. Bloomberg reports that Giuseppe Mussari, now Italy's top banking lobbyist, was the Chairman of BMPS during the derivative deal period. BMPS shares were halted after plunging dramatically as investors are still unclear of the extent of losses it faces on derivatives. If that was not enough chicanery, there is a twist in that none other than Mario Draghi, as Director of the Bank of Italy, would have had to vet Mussari (and his banks' regulated books) during this period - as BMPS accumulated what is obviously undocumented derivatives positions to intentionally obscure losses. Once again, years later, it seems the truth comes out - and of course we would expect no-one to go to jail - and the lying in Europe (then and now) continues unabated - as the reality of financial system health remains hidden from view.

 

 

Spanish Q4 GDP Declines At Fastest Pace Since 2009

With the most recent Spanish economic data in retail sales, house prices, manufacturing, and bad loans all confirming depression-level activity, or lack thereof, there was just two major metrics still missing: GDP and employment. Today we got Q4 GDP, which declined 1.7% Y/Y, and 0.6% from Q3. This was the worst year over year deterioration in the overall economy since Q4 2009 when the country was reeling from the Lehman bankruptcy global aftershock. We just need to get the unemployment number, which will be well north of 26%, for the picture of how the country with the ECB-backstopped and thus soaring bond curve is truly doing.

 

 

 

Daily US Opening News And Market Re-Cap: January 23

Heading into the North American open, equities are trading in minor negative territory, led lower by banks as markets look forward to the first LTRO repayment, as well as lingering concerns that losses from derivatives contracts by Monte Paschi (entered with Nomura) may undermine the lenders earnings. Monte Paschi shares opened 8% lower and were halted by the exchange to prevent a further slide in share price. As a result, even though EUR/USD is trading higher and peripheral bond yield spread are tighter, Bunds are trading in minor positive territory. Of note, Spains Iberian neighbour Portugal opened books for its 2017 bond and books are said to be around EUR 10bln, with guidance at MS+395bps (down from original MS+410bps). EUR/USD has also benefited from the decision by the Portuguese Treasury to tap capital markets only a day after a successful placement by Spain yesterday. Looking elsewhere, even though USD/JPY has bounced off earlier lows, implied vols continue to trade heavy as option decay and re-positioning post the BoJ decision weighs on prices. So much so that R/R has slipped to Sep levels, but still favours bets on further JPY depreciation.

1-22-13 Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com ‘DIP BUYING 1-22-13 The markets are overbought but this can continue longer than one might expect. Perhaps dangerously, investor sentiment remains universally bullish. It’s still a QE dominated market as liquidity is pushing markets higher even as earnings overall remain uninspiring.For our part we took some profits Monday while the basic core of our main portfolio remains intact. On the downside Boeing (BA) continues to weaken with Dreamliner groundings and Caterpillar (CAT) is going to take a $580 million dollar charge after being hoodwinked by Chinese accountants—both held back industrial sector (XLI). Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) disappointed driving consumer staples (XLP). Travelers (TRV) reported good earnings which helped lift financial sector (XLF). Earnings from DuPont (DD), despite falling 70%, helped push the materials (XLB) sector higher. This is how QE trumps flat earnings.Google (GOOG) reported earnings after the close that cheered investors although revenues seemed to miss. IBM (IBM) reported earnings that slightly beat estimates. Both stocks were substantially higher in after hours trading.Economic news wasn’t inspiring as the Chicago Fed National Activity Index fell (.02 vs .28 expected & prior .10); Existing Home Sales fell missing estimates (4.94M vs 5.1M expected & prior revised lower from 5.05M to 4.99M easing the miss); and, the Richmond Fed Mfg Survey plunged (-12 vs 5 expected & prior 5). This disappointing data just stimulates bulls to thinking the Fed won’t take its foot off the gas pedal anytime soon. Domestically bank deposits in the 4th quarter soared to $433 billion per Nomura Securities.Overseas the German ZEW economic expectations index soared (31.5 vs 9.5 expected) and the Bank of England said it would be rejoining the money printing (QE) operations. This is stimulative to the ongoing “currency war”. And to make matters bleak, global unemployment per the International LabourOrganization’s Global Employment 2013 trend asserts unemployment nears 200 million. (That’s a lot of food stamps!)The dollar (UUP) was slightly weaker and gold (GLD) rose modestly. Commodities (DBC) were led higher by oil (USO) and natural gas stocks (FCG). Stocks are still moving higher glacially day by day on still light volume. Bonds (TLT) seemed well bid.As indicated volume once again was light and breadth per the WSJ was positive…’

{ 1-20-13  I really must say, of all weekends to come down with this virulent, brutal strain of flu, this was it; perfect timing. GOD truly works in mysterious ways. I can feel the depths of nausea beyond that intellectually indicated by the swearing-in of nigger-monkey jiva (no, not java man, jiva) man for his new term. Quite separately, I’m constrained to comment that while I personally don’t trust the feds sufficiently to take the vaccine (infra), I truly can understand why some might (chance it). This was a brutal, painful, debilitating strain of flu wherein the persistent coughing ultimately gave rise to extreme pain when so doing. Though even worse than the last severe strain (LA gets them all, sooner or later), I now have immunity. It seems that each subsequent strain is more severe than the prior strain (and not just because of my increase of years) and I’m not yet quite sure as to why. And, given the proclivity of the government to make the populace/citizenry ever more dependent upon what is (clearly a fact lost on no one) an ever more incompetent, failed, and corrupt government, the inference that the same has as its genesis a recombinant form of virus brought to you by none other than the same desperate government, is eminently reasonable (preliminary ‘testing of the waters’ so to speak, surely to get worse). In fact, it’s a bit unsettling that this same strain of flu has a near simultaneous breakout nationwide. Moreover, from unconstitutional attempts to disarm the citizenry, to drones, to military maneuvers allegedly as anti-terror drills, etc., such a hypothesis seems hardly a stretch and upon reflection, quite probable. After all, there were pervasive domestic terrorist threats, unprecedented in a national election (but not at all uncommon for niggers wherever they are), by the typically uncivilized lawless niggers for riot and mayhem should obama be voted out of office as he deserved to be on his unequivocally failed record. Not a peep … from dhs, dc, etc., who are usually all over law-a-abiding citizens for no good reasons at all … despite the outrageousness of same. One just can’t any longer trust the u.s. government to do what’s right! Really! }

{ I will be expounding upon the ground-breakingly new, failed ‘management’ approach adopted by this failed administration; viz., management by exceptions. That’s right! Exceptions! Not management by objectives; but rather, management by exceptions. Forget laws, precedent, things that have worked for the vast majority; and, focus instead upon the exceptions as they fatefully crop up from time to time. As tragic as the Sandy Hook tragedy was, for wobama to reveal the failed mindset that’s failed america by managing by exceptions, he stated that he previously was not going to pursue gun control this term (there’s a plethora of greater priorities for this pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt nation), but now, because of this slaughter at the hands of the nutcase, he is. Or, revise all protocols for those who are or choose to be gay, or disregard the oath if an illegal immigrant wants to practice law, or don’t prosecute the biggest exceptionally huge wall street frauds because they are too big to fail/jail or donate mightily to political campaigns (MFGlobal/Corzine), etc., or whatever else for votes, etc., the list goes on and on. Yet, the obfuscations/frauds only mask the inevitably greater, deeper abyss to follow! Yes … there you have it … america’s new managerial approach/theory … on the road to perdition … MANAGEMENT BY EXCEPTIONS. Guaranteed not to work … for all but the exceptions (parenthetically, this topic of managing the exceptions as a separate managerial task without misdirecting managerial focus from central objectives was some years ago highlighted by the brilliant Peter Drucker)!  }

Indeed, from my direct experience, the actions/inaction of the feds are geared toward making one reliant/dependent upon them (ie., food stamps, faux disability, unemployment comp extensions, ‘protection’ from rampant, blatant crime or not,  etc., despite america’s defacto bankruptcy and the unaffordability of same), despite their unequivocal incompetence and venality. In fact, stepping back, I have seen first hand those siding with/benefiting from (and the encouraging of more crime), ie., RICO defendants et als, actually rewarded by the pervasively corrupt/defacto bankrupt american system (ie., trumps, alito, fed slugees, etc., essentially a combination of and tantamount to what is essentially hush money, bribes, etc.).

David Cameron To Propose EU Referendum Tomorrow

In a move that may cause some consternation in Europe due to its adverse implications for trade paterns in the continent, tomorrow British PM David Cameron will announce that he will propose a referendum on whether or not to stay in the European Union, a move that as the WSJ qualifies it "threatens to inhibit trade and cast a new shadow over the troubled bloc." That may be a slight exageration: the referendum would take place, if at all, before the end of the first half of the next Parliament, roughly by late 2017, after an election. Which means that if Cameron loses the election, it is a non-issue, just as it would be a non-issue of course if the UK public voted to stay: according to a survey of the British public late last week by pollsters YouGov showed 34% indicated they would vote to leave in a referendum, while 40% said they would vote to stay. A week earlier, 42% said they would opt out, compared with 36% preferring to remain. Obviously a volatile topic for the population.

 

 

Guest Post: The Real Housing Recovery Story

The optimism over the housing recovery has gotten well ahead of the underlying fundamentals. While the belief was that the Government, and Fed's, interventions would ignite the housing market creating an self-perpetuating recovery in the economy - it did not turn out that way.  Today, these repeated intrusions are having a diminished rate of return and the risk now is that interest rates rise shutting potential homebuyers out of the market.  It is likely that in 2013 housing will begin to stabilize at historically low levels and the economic contribution will remain fairly weak.  The downside risk to that view is the impact of higher taxes, stagnant wage growth, re-defaults of the 6-million modifications and workouts, elevated defaults of underwater homeowners and a slowdown of speculative investment due to reduced profit margins.  While many hopes have been pinned on the 2012 stimulus fueled, China investing, and supply-deprived housing recovery as "the" driver of economic growth in 2013 - the data suggest that may be quite a bit of wishful thinking.

Trannies Suck Stocks Higher As Risk-Assets Flatline

UPDATE: With GOOG and IBM earnings (details below), futures are pushing higher still after-hours

Lowish volume and low average trade size was all that was required to march stocks up to recent highs on the back of more VIX compression and vol term structure steepening. Today was one of the most-disconnected day in a while between equities (and vol) and the rest of the market with the USD practically unchanged, Treasury rates lower, and high-yield credit flat. Commodities pushed higher on the week with Silver outperforming (+1.2%) as Oil broke back above $96 and the Energy sector led stocks along with Utilities (safety?) and Materials. Tech was weak as AAPL plunged early on - only to recover back above VWAP into the close. The Dow Transports have been the corner-piece of this rally as it would appear AAPL's loss is rail-cars and airlines gains. Up 12 of the last 15 days and +19% in the last six weeks, we note the last time this index surged on this scale was in April 2010 (when we saw realized vol for the index also plunge to record lows such as we have now) - and this happened...

US Macro Turns Negative - Worst In Almost 5 Months

While the trend has been your friend in US equities for the last few months; the trend in US Macro data has also been consistent - but negative over the last few weeks. Today, for the first time in almost five months (thanks to misses on existing homes and the Richmond Fed) the US Macro index turned negative. In the past this has marked the start of the market's realization that things are not just dipping but are cycling lower. This is also the weakest 'macro' start to a year since the crisis began - and seasonally is prone to become worse not better from here. It seems, however, that the only reality that is required for any prognosticator or commission-taker is that of nominal stock prices (as self-confirming bias creating data) - just as it was in late-2007.

 

 

US Taxpayers Pick Up Tab For US Military Missions In Mali "Assisting" The French

As reported previously, not only are there currently US boots on the ground in the latest geopolitical "anti Al-Qaeda" snafu in Mali, but it turns out a US presence had been secretly in place for many months prior to the recent escalation in French-led hostilities against the western African nation. And while this would likely have opened up numerous media inquiries under any other administration, so far these has been zero interest as to just why the US is "assisting" the French in this latest military deployment of military forces outside of the US: after all, one of the biggest complaints about US spending is that so much of it goes for military purposes (ignoring that all the tax revenues can't even cover just the monthly entitlement spending of the nation). Perhaps one reason is that, at least to date, the general consensus was that since the French operation in Mali is spearheaded and organized by the French, it is also funded by them. As it turns out that is not the case. As Reuters reports, "The U.S. military has flown five C-17 cargo sorties into the Malian capital to help bring a French mechanized infantry unit into the fight against al Qaeda-affiliated militants in the north of the country, Pentagon officials said on Tuesday." But surely the French are paying for these sorties which are there only to help the French, right? Wrong. "Little said the United States had decided not to seek compensation or reimbursement from France for the flights." Luckily, the US is in such a healthy financial position it can afford to not only open one more front in the war against "Al Qaeda", but will sign for the French tab too. With Joe Sixpack's money of course.

1-18-13 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com THE FED VS THE WORLD  1-18-13 Inside this massive building is a mega-Kinkos machine printing billions of dollars each day. ($4.77 billion just on Friday which by months end should total $85 billion.) These dollars are bombarding stock markets with fresh liquidity feeding bulls against all odds and logic.Our job is to go with this despite misgivings and all manner of poor news. As a strategist first and technician or timer second, we and most investors, must recognize the dynamic at work and adjust to it. Worrying about debt will be for another day and until its forced on politicians, bankers and markets. In the meantime, aint we got fun! And, until this money printing activity stops, this will be the underlying theme until either confidence in the activity is lost or bulls have to proceed without a net.Believe it or not there are pundits today discussing that retail sales increased .5% in November-December. Well, its the holidays and what would one expect?Other news like Consumer Sentiment plunged (71.3 vs 75 expected & prior 80.5) but not much was discussed about that.Intel (INTC) earnings were dreadful and the stock fell over 6%. Since this is an important stock, and its health is a sign of robust economic growth and demand, its hard to understand it can be so isolated. Also left on the ice-floes this week were two of the countrys largest banks, Citigroup and Bank of America. But with memories short bulls can quickly transition to General Electric (GE) and Morgan Stanley (MS) where earnings were well-received.The primary good news on the day was that Chinas growth was better (7.9% vs 7.8% expected and prior 7.4%). This news helps Asia and emerging markets primarily where we have our largest exposure.Headline writers had the ability to spin more headlines as markets were now at their highest levels since December 2007. This is quite an accomplishment and just shows what printers ink can do. This commentary is deliberately short as what is written here is expressed or featured in every equity chart on the planet to one degree or another.Volume increased substantially on options expiration. Breadth per the WSJ was modestly positive…’

"Detonating The Japanese Debt Time Bomb" With Kyle Bass

The hyper-correlation of Japanese stocks (Bass - The people that buying Japanese stocks, are picking up a dime in front of a bulldozer) and the JPY have led many to believe that Abe's miracle promise will be just the ticket to bring the nation's two-decade slump to an end - a 2% inflation target is all you need. However, in a brief CNBC interview, Kyle Bass explains that not only are 99.9% of people wrong about the crisis (explaining the critical aspect of the abrupt turn of twenty years of the 'procylicality of thought' - that deflation is the norm), but Abe's actions have actually brought forward the date of the "detonation of Japan's Debt Time Bomb. Bass goes on to discuss the US Housing stabilization, European stress, and China's economic opacity (and tensions with Japan), but leaves us with the clear and present danger in Japan that the clock has started on the qualitative shift in participants' minds that the situation is untenable (signs are already among the elite with recent JPY-extricating M&A deals) and "All of the components for this [bomb] to go off 'all of a sudden' are in place." Must watch.

 

 

Did Tim Geithner Leak Every Fed Announcement To The Banks?

On August 17, 2007, the Fed's Board of Governors announced a key change to primary credit lending terms, whereby the discount rate was cut by 50 bp to 5.75% from 6.25% and the term of loans was extended from overnight to up to thirty days. This reduced the spread of the primary credit rate over the fed funds rate from 100 basis points to 50 basis points. News of the emergency measure was supposed to be kept secret from market participants as it was substantially market moving. It wasn't. And just when we thought our opinion of the outgoing Treasury Secretary and former NY Fed head Tim Geithner, whose TurboTax incompetence is now legendary, couldn't get lower, it got lower. Much lower.

 

 

Guest Post: The "Bloated" Bond Bubble

The Fiscal Cliff theater was great 'off Broadway' drama, but the real show for traders took center stage Sunday December 16th in Japan. The curtain went up for the newly elected Prime Minister of Japan as the star actor in the unfolding global fiat currency drama. In the last 90 days the US, EU and now Japan have announced "unlimited", "Uncapped" monetary policy with UK's soon to be bank of England Governor, Carney indicating he wants inflation & growth targeting also when he assumes the reins. The goal has been to get interest REAL interest rates as low as possible, and the expected duration to be as long as possible. Market have reacted to this strategic and obvious debasement by stampeding, relentlessly into the Bond Market and creating a disturbing potentially destabilizing bond bubble. However, remember, Financial Repression is at work here and US Bond Yields and Interest Rates must be further reduced. We presently expect the 10 Year US Treasury Bill to eventually break below 1% and Equities will fall on the re-pricing of credit and risk, earnings revenue and margin issues and slowing real global growth.

 

 

Pictet On The Sudden Depreciation Of The Swiss Franc

Following the recent fall of the Swiss franc against the euro, there were paradoxical comments on the opportunity on both moving the Swiss National Banks floor lower (say to 1.25 for example) or on abandoning it altogether (or moving it higher). We believe both options are very unlikely, at least in the coming months. Moving the floor lower would be a bad idea in our view. As we have seen, the extent of the francs overvaluation is quite debatable and the lower the floor, the quicker a monetary policy dilemma may emerge. Moreover, in the event renewed upward pressures on the franc occur once again, a lower floor may prove more costly in terms of FX interventions.

 

 

Doug Casey: "We Are Living In The Middle Of The Biggest Bubble In History."

The recovery since the 2008 financial crisis is just an illusion created by the papering-over of our insolvency by central-bank printing. Doug Casey adds that the current state is akin to being "in the eye of the hurricane thanks to this 'cover'" and believes the printing which will ultimately lead to very high inflation once bank lending starts to pick up again. This excellent interview moves from Casey's view of a looming loss of confidence in the dollar (and the impact of mass repatriation) to what must the Keynesians be thinking as the "apparency of prosperity" remains all that we have to lift animal spirits. With an eye to gold (and non-western central banks behavior towards it as they realize "the USD is just an unsecured liability of a bankrupt government"), he evaluates the likelihood of a western economic collapse in 2013 and what that would imply for an implicit gold standard in the world. From Austrian economist Hans Herman-Hoppe's view of a post-Keynesian-crash era to his potential triggers for this collapse (such as gold-energy barter and non-dollar blocs), Casey succinctly reminds us that there is not just one asset-class bubble but that "we are living in the middle of the biggest bubble in history."

 

 

CruciVIXion

The USD ends the week up over 0.6%, Treasury yields down 2-4bps, Silver up 4.6%, Oil 2%, and Gold 1.4%; but it is VIX that rules the waves of unreality this week as it collapsed from this morning's unchanged on the week, played catch down to stocks (from yesterday) and then led stocks on a vol steepening/compression extravaganza down to 12.31% - its lowest since June 2007 as the 'contingent' extension of the debt-limit appeared the initial trigger and nothing at all the secondary trigger. AAPL wavered below and tested up to $500 (amid very large average trade size) but was the distinct loser once again with size sellers as S&P 500 futures surged (yet agin inferring the unwind of the long-AAPL, short-ES trade continues). Once the fire was lit, there was no stopping the stop-chasing momo run in stocks as ES chased all the way up above the week's highs. VXX was crushed (as the curve also compressed) and high-yield credit and stocks tracked each other in the rampapalooza. Of course the moment the day-session close, ES cracked back lower but for now no one cares (ending up just 5 points in the S&P cash). Average trade size was high once again in the S&P as the USD, Bonds, and Stocks were bid.

 

 

Winning The Global Export Race

It is no secret to anyone that as we said some 3 years ago, the world is now engaged in all out currency warfare whose sole goal is destroying one's own currency faster and more brutally than "the other guy" can. Because while devaluing one's currency is imperative in order to return to a viable debt load, about $40 trillion less than where it is now (as per BCG) by pushing monetary inflation upon one's people and inflating said debt away, just as important is to stimulate one's economy and exports which, all else equal, can only be done by making them cheaper to one's trading partners. It is, after all, a zero sum world. This is precisely the tug of war that the developed world is caught in currently, where every attempt is made to talk down one's currency, and when that fails, to dilute it by printing more of it (the Fed), to backstop it with collateral of every lower quality (the ECB, although in Europe's case it is more of an involuntary phenomenon), or just to talk, and talk, ant talk (Japan). Yet while every country with a self-respecting central bank (i.e., currency printer) hopes that they will be the ultimate winner of the currency debasement export race, what has become obvious over the past 30 years, is that when it comes to specializing in exports, there is just one true winner: a winner which is self-evident from the chart below.

 

 

RANsquawk Weekly Wrap - 18th January 2013

 

Guest Post: Fiscal Farce, Failure, Fantasy, & Fornication

After witnessing the fighting of undeclared never ending wars, passage of freedom destroying legislation like the Patriot Act & NDAA, approval of pork barrel spending to the tune of hundreds of billions, rule by Executive Order, using ZIRP to extract hundreds of billions from senior citizen savers and give it to criminal Wall Street banks, forcing the American people at gunpoint to replenish the Wall Street banks with $700 billion after they had committed the greatest financial fraud in history, and a continuing trampling of the U.S. Constitution, the American people continue to remain willfully ignorant of the truth. The American Dream is dead. Weve allowed a rich, privileged, elite few to achieve hegemony over our economic and political system with their control of the media and manipulation of our financial markets. They will collapse the country because they will never be satisfied with the amount of wealth and power theyve accumulated. Their voracious greed will be their downfall.

 

 

What Was The Fed Thinking The Last Time Stocks Were Here?

Sometimes it is useful to reflect back more than a nanosecond to check one's anchoring bias. With US equities back at 2007 levels, we thought it may be instructive to look at what the Fed was thinking - and what the FOMC was looking at - to be better able to judge their 'forecasts' now. To wit Q4 2007, FOMC... "Economic growth was solid in the third quarter, and strains in financial markets have eased somewhat on balance." The reflexivity of the use of market-based measures to preempt their actions is very clear from the presentation materials, as, just like now, there was falling current year EPS expectations but a phoenix-like resurrection due in 2008 based on analyst's expectations. Furthermore, the expectations for rate changes from Q4 2007 to Q4 2008 was remarkably modest (even as they had all the data on subprime delinquencies soaring and monolines collapsing) - and of course, turned out to be absolutely and utterly incorrect. And yet, we listen intently to every forecast word they utter?

 

 

Guest Post: 2008 Again?

The so-called recovery is built on sand, and as stock markets climb and climb, and more traders and investors turn bullish, we come ever-closer to a new 2008-style collapse. Soaring markets, and soaring speculation. Big finance using loopholes to speculate bigger and harder. Mainstream financial journalists becoming more and more complacent about the recovery. Weve been here before. Isnt repeating the same behaviour and hoping for different results the very definition of insanity?

So Much For That "Record Inflow" Into Equity Funds - Domestic Equities See $4.2 Billion Outflow In Most Recent Week

The most talked about story of the last week was undoubtedly the relentless chatter about that massive $18 billion in equity fund inflows as reported by Lipper (not ICI), which tracks primarily institutional and ETF flow of funds, and which, as we explained even before the Lipper data came out, was driven exclusively by a surge in bank deposits into the year end, to be recycled for risk investment purposes by the commercial banks' own prop desks. The details, however, were largely ignored by the mainstream media which took that inflow as an indication that the tide has finally turned and that the great rotation out of bonds into stocks is on. Turns out that just as we expected it was a year end calendar asset rebalancing. As Lipper reported earlier, the enthusiasm for US stocks appears to have abruptly ended, with a whopping $4.2 billion pumped out of domestic equities, offset by some $4.5 billion invested in non-domestic equities. The blended flow? Just $286 million going into equities. Now our math may be a little rusty, but $18 billion followed by $0.2 is not really indicative of an ongoing rotation out of bonds and into stocks, and is more indicative of a one-time, non-recurring event, just the opposite of all the Bank of America addbacks.

1-17-13 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  BULLS CHERRY PICKING DATA  1-17-13 My smarmy images are becoming Costanza do the opposite theme. And, along those lines we took off our leveraged long positions Thursday while maintaining the core unleveraged positions. We did this as a DeMark 13 count (sell to close trend exhaustion indicator) was shown on the daily SPX (S&P 500 Index). Theres little sense arguing with the tape. You could look at a miserable Philly Fed report (-5.8 vs .6 expected & prior 8.1) and conclude more economic contraction is on the way. But, wait, this must mean the Fed, which watches this report closely before their FOMC meetings, will assume more money printing is in order. Bulls deservedly liked Jobless Claims report (335K vs 372K expected & prior 371K) which blew away estimates but ignored details that this report was a Holiday-quirk. (Remember the algos just trade the headlines not the details.) Housing Starts were also very good (.954M vs .887M expected & prior .861M). Earnings news from Citigroup (C) and Bank of America (BAC) which most investors were anxiously awaiting both sucked and blowed, missing estimates badly. Those stocks along with closely associated financials (XLF) fell. There really has never been an enduring bull market without financials solidly in the mix; but, clearly were living in interesting times.Bulls just chose to ignore negative news and cherry-picked that which they liked. The dollar (UUP) was slightly weaker and gold (GLD) modestly higher. Commodities (DBC) rallied with higher Oil (USO) prices occasioned by declining inventories and the emerging African crisis (Mali and Algeria). Stocks were led higher across the board especially by homebuilders (ITB) and consumer discretionary (XLY) even as financials underperformed. Bonds (TLT) prices declined with the stock market boost. Volume was only modestly higher and still quite below even recent 3 month averages of 145M shares. Breadth per the WSJ was positive…’

The 360 tons of $100 dollar bills flown into Iraq and disappeared, huge wall street frauds in the trillions still extant and bailed out for the wall street perps by legislated FASB rule change, among many other schemes, scams, facilitated by lightning fast computerization have become both policy and modus operandi of the fed, u.s. government, and insider perps. }

 

It Will Take The Fed Seven Years To Deliver 300 Tons Of German Gold

The amount of gold the Fed supposedly holds, is shown in yellow with a shade of tungsten. Why it will take the Fed 7 years to part with an amount of gold that is less than 5% of its total holdings is anyone's guess.

 

 

Bill Gross Gets It  { Gets what? Why is this surprising? With $4 trillion gone missing (still) at the ny fed, americans should not trust the ny fed. Germany’s move is totally rational. How can anyone trust fraudulent, thieving americans with their money or gold, particularly in the fraud capital of the world, new york city    Michael Savage: Don't trust feds on flu shot...{ Or anything else, for that matter. Indeed, from my direct experience, the actions/inaction of the feds are geared toward making one reliant/dependent upon them (ie., food stamps, faux disability, unemployment comp extensions, ‘protection’ from rampant, blatant crime or not,  etc., despite america’s defacto bankruptcy and the unaffordability of same), despite their unequivocal incompetence and venality. In fact, stepping back, I have seen first hand those siding with/benefiting from (and the encouraging of more crime), ie., RICO defendants et als, actually rewarded by the pervasively corrupt/defacto bankrupt american system (ie., trumps, alito, fed slugees, etc., essentially a combination of and tantamount to what is essentially hush money, bribes, etc.). Pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america is a failed meaningfully lawless nation of marauders/thieves that no longer even remotely resembles what it purports to be and arguably once was.

2007 Deja Vu As Goldman Sees $150 Oil By The Summer

While Brent closed 2012 at around its average closing price for the year, suggesting some stability, rolling a front-month contract garnered returns over 10% underscoring Jeff Currie's (Goldman's chief commodity strategist) note that money can still be made in a low volatility environment. However, he does note the incredible divergence between near-record-high geopolitical risks and near record-low Brent crude volatility relative to stocks. The key is that while Currie expects the global oil to remain cyclically tight (inventories low in 2013-14), with a $105.50 average for WTI; in an interview earlier today in Frankfurt, he said he wouldn't be surprised "if we woke up in summer and [Brent] oil cost $150" per barrel.

 

 

Does This Look Like A Recovery?

A few years ago back when I used to watch an occasional bit of television, I would always have an internal debate with myself: which was more funny Comedy Central, or CNBC? It was always a toss-up. One channel has talking puppets. The other has Steven Colbert. Both are satires of our bizarre reality. These days it seems financial media has surged ahead in this contest, rolling out one expert guest after another to beat a steady drum that economic recovery has settled on terra firma. Now, Im an optimistic guy... and there are plenty of good news stories around the world. But just looking at the numbers, its clear that there is a major disconnect between sentiment and reality. On one hand, western governments and mainstream media sources tell people that their economies are recovering and moving forward. Sentiment is high, confidence is growing. Unfortunately the data show a completely different story...

 

 

Goldman's Most 'Event-Risk-Prone' US Equities

With the Dell LBO potentially heralding the renaissance of re-leveraging risk transfer from equity-holders to credit-holders, Goldman's screen among investment grade and high-yield companies attempts to uncover the names most likely to engage in shareholder-friendly (or more specifically bond-holder unfriendly) events. From quantitative screens on cashflow, leverage, and cash to stock 'cheapness', industry suitablity, and management reputation, the following 47 names warrant further attention (in both CDS and equity markets).

 

 

The "Big Three" Banks Are Gambling With $860 Billion In Deposits

A week ago, when Wells Fargo unleashed the so far quite disappointing earnings season for commercial banks (connected hedge funds like Goldman Sachs excluded) we reported that the bank's deposits had risen to a record $176 billion over loans on its books. Today we conduct the same analysis for the other big two commercial banks: Wells Fargo and JPMorgan (we ignore Citi as it is still a partially nationalized disaster). The results are presented below, together with a rather stunning observation.

 

 

Dow Jones Closes Just Shy Of 5 Year High As Intel Beats EPS, Misses Revenue And Guides Lukewarm

Stocks surged (apart from AAPL) gloriously out of their super-narrow recent range, driven by recycled JPY rumors and some potential 'give' by the Republicans, and the rest of the risk-on complex tracked higher with it. Treasury yields pinged back to higher on the week as the S&P took out recent highs amid a very large surge in average trade size - something that often marks a climax in trend. It seems the selling of vol has hit its short-term limit (as VIX flatlined in general today) and so FX and credit were the levers today. Gold and Silver also surged on the day as Oil popped on the growing tensions in Algeria. In a premature release, Intel exposed an EPS beat, revenue miss, and weak guidance which sent algos scurrying and the share price snapping up and down into the close (and falling after). The bottom-line seems to be that the BoJ joining the infinite print brigade (and some very mixed US macro data) was enough to break us out of a narrow range - but the VWAP reversion into the close appears anything but follow through for the next leg up - as trade size suggests short-term trend change.

 

 

You Wanted Inflation, You Got It: Japanese Gasoline Price Rises To Eight Month High

When one thinks of open-ended, "inflation targeting" one usually thinks of soaring markets, at least in nominal terms, exploding central bank balance sheet, and happy central planners. What one usually does not think of, is, well, inflation targeting. Because while the shadow banking financial system, perfectly devoid of deposits, has for now provided a sufficient buffer from trillions of reserve injections from spreading into the broader economy of the US and Europe, and has primarily impacted stock markets as unsterilized liquidity injections are used by banks to bid stocks, Japan has been far less lucky in this regard. As it turns out, the massive slide in the Japanese Yen in the past 2 months on nothing but ongoing promises of open-ended action, something Europe has perfected, and the US most recently enacted, may have already achieved its goal of pushing inflation. only not to the desired 2% level, but about 50% higher. Luckily, it is for such trivial things that nobody really every needs, such as fuel and consumer products - just ask the BLS.

 

 

Guest Post: Misunderstanding Austerity, Stimulus and Demand

Keynesian policy requires an expansionist Central State and Bank bent on imposing central planning on every level of the economy. Keynesians are natural partners with the neofeudal financial Aristocracy which benefits so enormously from Keynesian print-borrow-blow policies. The standard Keynesian cargo-cult analysis of our economic woes: 1. The problem is a lack of aggregate demand, i.e. people buying stuff and services; 2. As a result, the economy is running below capacity, i.e. economic output is below potential; 3. The solution is fiscal and monetary stimulus, i.e. the Central State borrowing and spending trillions on politically directed programs and the Federal Reserve printing and injecting trillions of "free money" dollars into the financial sector to boost borrowing and lending. The cargo-cult program has failed for a number of fundamental reasons. Let's illuminate these reasons with a few thought experiments.

 

 

The Frightening Truth Behind Bank Of America's "Earnings"

 

Over a year ago we noted that when it comes to Bank of America "earnings", items which traditionally are classified as non-recurring, one-time: primarily litigation and mortgage related charges, have now become recurring, and all the time, courtesy of the worst M&A transaction of all time - the purchase of Countrywide and its horrifying mortgage book. Today, this is finally being appreciated by the market where even the pompom carriers have said that it is time to start ignoring the endless addbacks and focus on actual earnings. The same cheerleaders have also, finally, understood that the primary source of "profitability" at this lawsuit magnet of a company, is nothing other than the accounting trick known as loan loss reserve releases - not actual profits but merely bottom line adjustments whose purpose is to mitigate the impact of quarterly charge offs on loans gone horrible bad. Remember that Bank of America has some $908 billion in total consumer loans and leases, and every day hundreds of millions of these go 'bad' and ultimately have to be discharged, offset by "hopes" that the future will improve. This hits both the balance sheet and the P&L. So, if one steps back and ignores the non-recurring, one-time noise, what emerges? A truly frightening picture.

 

 

BoJ Joins ECB And Fed On Unlimited Print Train

Just as some do not believe in Santa, Christine Lagarde appeared to comment that she does not believe in currency wars (or competitive devaluation) this morning but sure enough, just a few hours later, Reuters rumors that the BoJ is about to join the Fed and ECB on the open-ended infinite print train. Sure enough, JPY is dumping (breaking recent highs on a stop-run), stocks are responding in their correlated carry way, and precious metals are surging (Silver +4.6% on the week) as fiat floods the world. It appears 2013 is the years of last last resort as the G-20 meme seems to be "if we can't reflate now, then it's all over." What is perhaps remarkable about the equity response is that everyone has known for two months that Japan plans on implementing a 2% inflation target. The only question has been "how" - and that it is only logical that the BOJ would use 'whatever means everyone else has used' - today merely confirmed this - knee-jerk algo response or sell-the-news?

 

 

Biggest Philly Fed Miss In 7 Months Ignored As Fed Injects Reserves Via Repo

A month ago we mocked the Philly Fed number which printed at an outlier level of 8.1, slamming expectations of a negative print, and sending algos into overbuydrive. A week ago we were validated when the annual revision brought that number down from 8.1 to 4.6. Today we get confirmation that the December print was a total farce, with a January Philly Fed print which is once again solidly in negative territory, or -5.8, which just happens to be the biggest miss to expectations of 5.6 in seven months. Yet while a month ago the huge beat was a reason for the robots to ramp stocks, today's miss is a reason to... ramp stocks even more. Why? Because moments before the disappointing announcement the Fed decided to inject even more liquidity in addition to the now daily unsterilized POMO, following the resumption of repos, which injected some $210 million in reserves into dealers. This is in addition to the $3 or so billion that today's POMO will add as stock purchasing dry powder for banks.

Initial Claims Drop To 5-Year 'Old Normal' Lows On Seasonal Shenanigans

Initial jobless claims saw their biggest beat in almost 4 years to the lowest absolute (seasonally adjusted level) in almost 5 years. The market's initial reaction was a shrug (is good bad now that the Fed is pinned to jobs or is the market getting wise in the ways of seasonal-adjustment shenanigans?) but now it appears to be buying the new 'old' normal (+6 points). In the unadjusted data, things look very different - with a lag, New York (37,189), Georgia (15,354), and North Carolina (13,606) saw major rises in initial claims with only Michigan (-12,536) seeing a decent drop in claims - as we note that non-seasonally-adjusted claims rose notably less than in the prior 4 years, and assuming seasonal-adjustments are triggered from those, this will reflect very rosily on today's seasonal adjustment. With Claims back to 'normal', what will the Fed do?

 

 

Citi Down 4% On Top- And Bottom-Line Miss

While Citi's stock is getting hammered in the pre-market for missing both top- and bottom-lines, three things stand out to us at first glance. First, legal costs were well above expectations; second, they reduced their exposure to GIIPS  during Q4 - just when the rip-roaring rally in Europe really took off; and third, and more importantly, Citi did not take a huge loan loss reserve drawdown like every other bank.

*CITIGROUP 4Q REV. $18.66B, EST. $18.92B                  :C US

*CITIGROUP 4Q ADJ. EPS 69C WITH/WITHOUT ITEMS MISSES EST. 96C

*CITI 4Q GIIPS NET CURRENT FUNDED EXPOSURE $8.9B VS 3Q $9.5B

*CITIGROUP 4Q LOAN LOSS RESERVE RELEASE $86M VS $1.5B PRIOR YR

The question is, why would Citi not take advantage of the investing public's ignorance like every other bank and release more from loan-loss-reserves - have they maxed out their previous releases? or are they less exuberant at the housing un-recovery? (we note that 90-179-Day Delinquencies rose)

Bank Of America Earnings Plagued By Legacy Countrywide Woes Offset By $900 Million In Loan Loss Reserve Releases

Bank of America just reported yet another quarter marked by a bevy of "one-time" charges, which have now become normal course of business, even as NIM declined Y/Y, and sales and trading revenues declined sequentially. Loan loss reserve releases of $900 million more than offset the declining Noninterest income, and contributed to a positive pre-tax net income number. The biggest threat continue to be private Rep and Warrant outstanding claims which increased by almost 42 billion in the quarter to a total of $12.3 billion.

It Will Take The Fed Seven Years To Deliver 300 Tons Of German Gold

Tthe biggest news of the day comes from the official Buba announcement that, in its official capacity as a prudent central bank, it - as first of many - is looking to repatriate some 300 tons of gold from the New York Fed. That, however, is not today's news - that was Monday's news. What is news is that courtesy of the supplied calendar of events in the Buba statement, it will take the Fed some seven years to procure Germany's 300 tons of gold. This is the same Fed that, in its own words, holds some "216 million troy ounces of gold" or some 6720 tons, in its vault 80 feet below ground level. Putting the above in perspective, the amount of gold that Germany will have to wait 7 years for is shown in red. The amount of gold the Fed supposedly holds, is shown in yellow with a shade of tungsten.

Guest Post: A Message To The 'Left' From A 'Right Wing Extremist'

Some discoveries are exciting, joyful, and exhilarating, while others can be quite painful.  Stumbling upon the fact that you do not necessarily have a competent grasp of reality, that you have in fact been duped for most of your life, is not a pleasant experience. I came to see a dark side to the Democratic Party that had always been there but which I had refused to acknowledge.  During the rise of any despotic governmental structure, there is always a section of the population that is given special treatment, and made to feel as though they are on the winning team.  For now, it would appear that the Left side of the political spectrum has been chosen by the establishment as the favored sons and daughters of the restructured centralized U.S.  However, before those of you on the Left get too comfortable in your new position as the hand of globalization, I would like to appeal to you for a moment of unbiased consideration.  I know from personal experience that there are Democrats out there who are actually far more like we constitutionalists and right wing extremists than they may realize.  I ask that you take the following points into account, regardless of what the system decides to label us...

 

 

The Dream Is Over As FAA Grounds Nightmareliner

The pain for Boeing never stops. Just out from Reuters:

U.S. FAA says requiring airlines to temporarily stop flying Boeing's 787 Dreamliner. #BREAKING

FAA: Battery failures on Boeing 787s could damage critical systems and structures, spark fire, if not corrected

FAA: Will work with Boeing, airlines to develop corrective action plan to resume 787 operations as "quickly and safely as possible"

FAA: Decision to ground Boeing 787s prompted by second incident involving lithium ion battery failure

FAA: Will also examine Boeing 787 batteries as part of comprehensive review announced last week

So, will Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood (i.e., the US government) perhaps reassess his conclusion from last week that the Dreamliner is "safe" or perhaps this too is just more teething problems... Or merely an ultra aggressive case of industrial sabotage from EADS? In other news, perhaps it is time to find a more appropriate name of the Dreamliner?

 

 

Complete The Following Sequence...

Some have argued that the market is dead. They may be right, as the following sequence of S&P 500 closes from the past 5 days: 1472, 1472, 1471, 1472, 1473 ...suggests that V-Fib has set in among the equity indices. Perhaps, as the movie Flatliners noted "Some Lines [like SPX 1470] Shouldn't Be Crossed." Meanwhile the 10Y Treasury yield has slipped from 1.90% to 1.82% over the same period.

 

 

The Most Ridiculous Forecast You Will See In A While

With Apple apparently building a lower-cost iPoor model and now accepting iLayaway payments, the question of margins is once again front-and-center. However, the market as a whole is in a world of its own in its consensus view of what US companies are capable of producing next year. As Morgan Stanley notes, 58% of firms are expected to raise their margins YoY through 2012, and then consensus sees a stunning (record-breaking) 76% of firms will raise margins in 2013. If that eye-watering buffoonery is not enough to raise some doubts at the market's implied ebullience, then a reminder that we have seen this divergence from GDP growth and margin growth before - as, simply put, the squeezing of costs to improve margins inevitably plays out down the chain (aggregate supply and demand lags) and increases the load on government as safety net living-standard-provider-of-last-resort. The bottom line is simple - margin expectations must fall and given the dour outlook for top-line growth in a stagnating global economy, that will expectations correction will drop straight to the bottom-line. Of course, prices will be nominally defended by a herd of talking heads expecting moar multiple expansion.

 

 

Another V-Shaped Stock Recovery - But Rates And Credit Ain't Buying It

From last Friday, the S&P 500 had decoupled somewhat (trading in a 10 point range) from credit markets (which had widened notably) while spot VIX had caught up (and over-taken) stocks. Today saw HYG (the high-yield bond ETF) trade sideways to lower all day long, catching down to its credit derivative market cousins, as VXX was the lever of choice to ramp stocks to test the week's highs once again (and scratch a few more stops). However, while AAPL made it up to the lows of the last swing down amid thin volumes, the last hour saw mid-dated volatility being bought which pushed VXX higher and reverted it towards rates and credit un-exuberance. Treasuries ended the day green once again and the USD drifted higher (though most of FX traded in extremely tight ranges). Silver rose further, Gold trod water, and oil played some catch up to the precious metals. Tech outperformed (thanks to AAPL) but financials (apart from some early vol) did nothing - despite Mario Monti's call that "the crisis is over." Another low-range, low volume, mediocre trade size, close-near-the-open day in stocks with bonds bid - and futures fade after-hours.

 

 

Crossing Through The "X Date" - What Happens After The US "Default"?

Call it "X Date", call it "D(elinquent/efault)-Day", call it what you will: it is simply the day past which the US government will no longer be able to rely on "extraordinary measure" to delay the day of reckoning, and will be unable to pay all its bills without recourse to additional debt. It is not the day when the US defaults, at least not defaults on its debt. It will begin "defaulting" on various financial obligations, such as not paying due bills on time and in full, but since this is something Europe's periphery has been doing for years, it is hardly catastrophic. It will hardly be pleasant, however, as some 40% of government obligations go unfunded, and the US is converted to a walking, talking bankruptcy as unsecured claimants rush to demand priority, as the market, long living on hope and prayer, realizes that only now is it truly without a cliff under its feet, and most importantly, as suddenly $500 billion in maturing debt between February 15 and March 1 finds itself in a very, very precarious position.

 

 

Yet Another Long-Term Mean Reversion Chart

As the S&P 500 pulls within a few percentage points of its nominal all-time highs, despite macro-uncertainty and micro-delusion, perhaps (as UBS' Peter Lee notes) a longer-term perspective is warranted. For over 80 years, the S&P 500 (or its proxy) has cyclically reverted to it its logarithmic trend-line growth. The last time the market pulled away from this bullish up-trend was in 1982 (and the previous period of cyclical reversion took 32 years from 1942 to 1974) and suggests the S&P 500 could well revert to around an 850 level within the next year or so. Perhaps Lee (the anti-thesis of JPM's Tom Lee) needs to read some Birinyi to really understand how to extrapolate? Still, an 80-plus year trend-line perhaps offers some color.

While moustachioed managers, contrary to the far better insight of their superiors, and mainstream spivs are trying to talk down Germany's somewhat stunning shift in thinking - i.e. to repatriate its gold - as nothing but political pandering (or cost-saving); it seems, just as we predicted, the rest of the world are seeing this crack-in-the-confidence-armor the same way we have suggested. As we noted here, the first party to defect from the prisoner's dilemma of all the bulk of global gold being held by the Fed, defects best (then the second, or even the third perhaps) and sure enough, via RTL, we see the Dutch CDA party has requested that Holland's gold supply be repatriated. Who next?

 

 

 

 

1-15-13 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  BANK EARNINGS IN SPOTLIGHT 1-15-13 Its rare to see markets in such a slow crawl higher or lower. The recently higher trend is levitating on very little volume. It will take some positive earnings news from S&P 500 heavily weighted financial companies like banks (KBE) and (XLF) to either fire up bulls or take us back down with disappointments. Wednesday, JP Morgan (JPM) and Goldman Sachs (GS) will offer their reports. Some analysts have sharply lowered expectations which may allow for earnings beats while others still expect disappointments. With financials moving above even long term levels of resistance, these reports will be much watched. Apple (AAPL) continues its descent as the psychologically important $500 level fell and with a near 20% weighting on tech indexes (QQQ) (XLK) the sector was pulled lower. You can consider the absence of new gadgets in 2013 (that we know of) and soft supplier data a cause. In my mind the stock was just overowned. The average of street analysts price targets is $728. Well the holidays are just 11 months away. Below is a table from Zero Hedge showing hedge fund ownership of Apple as of September 2012 quarter end. It was all downhill from there.

Economic data Tuesday featured the following: Retail Sales depending on your view climbed (.5% vs .2% expected & prior .3%. ex-Autos & Gas .6% vs .5% expected & prior .7%); Empire State Mfg Survey was still weak (-7.78 vs 0.00 expected & prior -8); and, PPI was lower (-.2% vs -.1% exp & prior -.8%: ex-food & energy .1% vs .2% exp & prior .1%) The dollar (UUP) was stronger but oddly so too was gold (GLD). With the latter there was some rumblings as to why the German Bundesbank would want to take physical possession of its gold from the NY Fed. The old joke with Swiss banks is they, as transactions were made, would just move the metal from one side of the vault (seller) to the other (buyer). Those carts were on wheels naturally. Bernanke also got gold going higher with remarks at the U of Michigan basically saying unemployment is improvement but is too slow as is the economy while inflation is tame. (As long as they calculate unemployment without including those falling off the roles and inflation calculated as they do, then hes right.) Commodities (DBC) overall were mixed as oil (USO) fell while grains (JJG) were higher. Bonds (TLT) rallied.  Volume remains frustratingly light as if all traders left the floor and didnt turn out the lights. Breadth per the WSJ was modestly positive…’

Bill Gross Gets It  { Gets what? Why is this surprising? With $4 trillion gone missing (still) at the ny fed, americans should not trust the ny fed. Germany’s move is totally rational. How can anyone trust fraudulent, thieving americans with their money or gold, particularly in the fraud capital of the world, new york city    Michael Savage: Don't trust feds on flu shot...{ Or anything else, for that matter. Indeed, from my direct experience, the actions/inaction of the feds are geared toward making one reliant/dependent upon them (ie., food stamps, faux disability, unemployment comp extensions, ‘protection’ from rampant, blatant crime or not,  etc., despite america’s defacto bankruptcy and the unaffordability of same), despite their unequivocal incompetence and venality. In fact, stepping back, I have seen first hand those siding with/benefiting from (and the encouraging of more crime), ie., RICO defendants et als, actually rewarded by the pervasively corrupt/defacto bankrupt american system (ie., trumps, alito, fed slugees, etc., essentially a combination of and tantamount to what is essentially hush money, bribes, etc.). Pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america is a failed meaningfully lawless nation of marauders/thieves that no longer even remotely resembles what it purports to be and arguably once was.

America's 'Invisible' Poor - An Infographic

Are more and more people in the western world dropping off the radar and becoming the invisible poor or is the opposite happening?  We are always interested in looking at the financial health of real people. We noted earlier that an astounding 46 million Americans are officially below the poverty line (That's $23,050/year for a family of four according to the official sources). That number really caught PaydayLoan.co.uk's eye and as such they decided to do a little more digging to help put some more facts and figures around it. The below is an excellent visualization of the results they came up with. Conservative MP Norman Tebbit when responding to a question on unemployment noted "I grew up in the 30's with an unemployed father. He didn't riot. He got on his bike and looked for work, and he kept looking 'til he found it." Are the American (and possibly other western populations) poor really in this mess because they are lazy (27% of Americans think so) or is it because they don't have the right work ethic (49% of Americans think this is all it would take!)?

 

 

 

An Analytic Framework For 2013

In one sentence, during 2013, we expect imbalances to grow. These imbalances are the US fiscal and trade deficits, the fiscal deficits of the members of the European Monetary Union (EMU) and the unemployment rate of the EMU thanks to a stronger Euro. By now, it should be clear that the rally in equities is not the reflection of upcoming economic growth. Paraphrasing Shakespeare, economic growth "should be made of sterner stuff". Many analysts rightly focus on the political fragility of the framework. The uncertainty over the US debt ceiling negotiations and the fact that prices today do not reflect anything else but the probability of a bid or lack thereof by a central bank makes politics relevant. Should the European Central Bank finally engage in Open Monetary Transactions, the importance of politics would be fully visible. However, unemployment is 'the' fundamental underlying factor in this story and we do not think it will fall. In the long term, financial repression, including zero-interest rate policies, simply hurts investment demand and productivity.

 

 

 

One Year Of Tax Hikes On The Rich Is Promptly Spent As $60 Billion Sandy Relief Aid Bill Passes

After more than two months of political grandstanding, finally the $60 billion pork-laden Sandy relief aid bill has passed through the House in a 241-180 vote (with 1 democrat and 179 republicans voting no), with the vote passing courtesy of just 49 republicans who voted with the democrats. The reminder objected in protest "against a bill that many conservatives say is too big and provides funding for things other than immediate relief for New York, New Jersey and Connecticut" Politico reports. Specifically, the House approved a $50 billion relief bill, after several hours of contentious debate in which scores of Republicans tried unsuccessfully to cut the size of the bill and offset a portion of it with spending cuts. $9.7 billion had been already voted on January 4th for a flood insurance lending facility.The biggest winner today? Chris Christie whose anti-Boehner soapbox rant drama two weeks ago may have been just the breaking straw that forced the passage of this porkulus bill.

 

 

 

Exposing Europe's "Syphilitic Structural Core" With MEP Daniel Hannan

In an impassioned 80 seconds, MEP Daniel Hannan exposes the structurally rotten "syphilitic core" of a European Union whose existential crisis has now seemingly been pronounced 'over' by those wondrous self-denying members of the European elite. "There is an extraordinary denial going on," the eloquent Englishman expounds as he notes that they still "haven't addressed the fundamental problem," of 'applying a single monetary policy to countries with widely divergent conditions and means' leaving unemployment rising and growth stagnating. He notes that the crisis in one respect is over, the moment of decision of taking one of two paths, is indeed over - and "the squaller, the wretchedness, the unemployment and poverty have now become structural."

 

 

Platinum Overtakes Gold As South African Mining Problems Return

 

In some ways it is lucky that the platinum coin nonsense is dead and buried because there may have been certain procurement issues. The reason, as was the case late in 2012, is that the South African mining situation is once again rapidly unraveling, despite hopes by third parties that recent wage compromises between employers and unions had managed to leave striking workers and mining companies at a tense but cordial  impasse. However, as was easily predictable, following the substantial wage hike demanded by miners to end strikes, what resulted was perfectly expected: a collapse in profits. And now Anglo American Platinum has no choice but to shutter a variety of facilities and fire workers outright in order to restore the pre-riot profitability. From AP: "The world's largest platinum producer said Tuesday it will close some operations, sell one mine in South Africa and cut 14,000 jobs. Anglo American Platinum said a nearly yearlong review found that four mine shafts needed to be closed and one mine sold because of unprofitable operations. The government's minister of mines and the National Union of Mineworkers, NUM, expressed surprise and shock at the announcement." 

 

 

Deutsche's Bullish For 2013 Despite These 6 Huge Downside Risks

In their view, 2013 will likely mark the dawn of the post-crisis era, but it seems the premise for Deutsche's somewhat ebullient 2013 outlook (below) is that central-bankers remain on standby to counter any and all negative risks. Despite the brinksmanship, politicians will act to prevent systemic collapse and while structural long-term issues such as high debts across the developed world and unbalanced growth models in emerging economies remain unsettled, Deutsche argues that 2013 could be a year of stabilization after years of crisis-fighting. The following presentation is broad-based and lays out a "don't fight the central banker" meme perfectly; however, the six key downside risks (from China NPLs to European political unrest) that they highlight (but gloss over in their somewhat Pollyanna-ish way), should at least - in our humble opinion - raise some concerns about the bimodal distribution of outcomes that await risk assets in 2013.

 

 

 

Presenting The Working Poor Of America

Much has been made of the slow but steady 'improvement' in the unemployment data we are treated to on a weekly and monthly basis from the hallowed eves of the BLS. Just as much has been written on the ugly under-belly of this apparent improvement with the work-force becoming dominated by older workers forced to stay in jobs for longer and an increasing downshift in the kind of jobs available and taken. To wit, Reuters cites a report from the The Working Poor Families Project that highlights the surprising levels of poverty so many Americans find themselves in. The number of low-income 'working' families has increased three straight years - and now stands at over 10.2million, with more than 46 million people living in low-income families. "Although many people are returning to work, they are often taking jobs with lower wages and less job security, compared with the middle-class jobs they held before the economic downturn," which means that nearly one in three working families in the United States is struggling to meet basic needs. Although they are often overlooked, the number of low-income working families has been increasing steadily, resulting in a shrinking middle class and challenging a fundamental assumption that in America, work pays - as we have pointed out before (at these levels, it simply doesn't thanks to the benefit availability).

 

 

 

Jim Grant: Heads Bankers Win, Tails Taxpayers Lose

Interest Rate Observer, Jim Grant, played an important role as explainer-in-chief in the forthcoming movie "The Bubble" - a documentary that interviews the experts that predicted the 2008 crash and asks what happens next. The brief interview embedded below provides a smorgasbord of Grant's thoughts on topics from Fannie and Freddie as government-sponsored titanic hedge funds, his concerns at the unintended consequence of the debt-sustaining mortgage interest deduction, why MBS are not the root of all evil, and how the federal government is socializing risk for bankers. As usual, the ever-so-erudite Grant sums it all up superbly: "American bankers, based on the experience of 2007-8-9, don't know much about banking, but there's one institution that knows still less and that institution is the United States Congress." Adding that the past two or three years have all been about the unintended consequences of federal "spending, promising, and intervening" in finance and banking to delay a day of reckoning, Grant believes a correction is coming but again warns (in as succinct an eleven-word-sentence about our real world as we have seen recently), that "Bankers get the upside and we - the taxpayers - get the downside."

 

 

 

Stocks And Bonds Bid As AAPL Catches Down To Nasdaq

From the start of 2012, AAPL was the beta-transforming game in town. Fund after fund claimed their stock-picking excellence when really, they were just running a higher beta fund being overweight AAPL. Today saw that come to an end (for now). AAPL and Nasdaq have recoupled (both +19.5% from 12/30/11) as the former fell to 11-month lows. One thing is clear, given strength in the indices today, everyone and their mom appeared to be in the long AAPL, short index trade isolating their performance. S&P 500 futures pushed inexorably higher all afternoon (even as bonds rallied, and the USD went bid on Juncker's verbal intervention) - testing unchanged on the week. From soon after this morning's POMO, US equities disconnected almost entirely from the rest of risk assets. Gold and Silver rose, Oil and copper slid, HY Credit snapped lower and recovered in the afternoon as the VIX term structure yawns ever wider across the debt-ceiling deadline, CHF was offered all day, and the short-term T-Bill curve is now inverted (stressed) across the debt-ceiling deadline.

 

 

 

R.I.P. Retirement: 28% Of Americans Are Raiding Their 401k Plans

This trend has been in place since the financial crisis, but the fact that it is accelerating is extremely disconcerting.  First off, this is not the kind of behavior that should be witnessed in an economic recovery.  Second, we need to remember the huge percentage of Americans on food stamps and/or disability.  As we have discussed previously, many of them also have jobs.  So essentially, a wage and a check from the government is still not enough to survive.  They still need to tap into a loan from their 401k plans.

 

 

Liestrong

Farcebook

 

As we anxiously await the titanic announcement about to spew forth from Menlo Park, we thought a look at 2013's +20% performance was worthwhile. We would expect to hear a plethora of 'monetizing mobile' and a cajillion eyeballs must mean something. Will the Facebook phone replace the Obama-phone? Will being 'liked' provide external stimulus? Will they be merging with Dell (or Radioshack?) Feeling bullish? Be wary, implied vol is at its most expensivce to realized vol in 7 months... Rest assured, we will bring the critical headlines as they break...

The Golden Age Of US Corporations Is Ending: S&P 500 Cash Has Peaked And Is Now Declining

One of the biggest "givens" of the New Normal was that no matter what happens, US corporations would build their cash hoard come hell or high water. Whether this was a function of saving for a rainy day in a world in which external liquidity could evaporate overnight, whether it was to have dry powder for dividends and other shareholder friendly transactions, or to be able to engage in M&A and other business transformations (but not CapEx, anything but CapEx), corporate cash swelled to over $2 trillion (the bulk of it held in deposit accounts, or directly invested in "cash equivalents" i.e. risk assets, in banks in the US and abroad). Whatever the use of funds, the source was quite clear: ever declining interests rate which allowed corporate refinancings into ever lower cash rates, a "buyer's market" when it comes to employees, the bulk of which have been transformed into low paid geriatric (55 years and older), part-time workers: the only two categories that have seen a steady improvement in employment since the start of the second great depression, and low, low corporate taxes (for cash tax purposes; for GAAP purposes it is different story altogether). So some may be surprised that the great corporate cash hoard build appears to have finally tapered off. As the chart below from Goldman shows, after hitting an all time high of 11.2%, the ratio of S&P500 cash to total assets has once again started to decline.

 

Widest Discrepancy Ever Between AAPL Reality And Analyst Hopium

With price-targets now apparently nothing more than a 'talking-point', it is, perhaps, of little surprise that the gap between the average sell-side analyst's price target for AAPL and the current price is the widest it has ever been. And of course, the 'buys' versus 'sells' has not budged at all... for your reading pleasure, the 50 analysts' price targets for AAPL... and the two non-lemmings (Per Lindberg and Edward Zabitsky) that see potential downside for AAPL.

 

 

 

Why Americans Are Broke, And Getting Further In Debt

Just as the president reminded us yesterday we are not a deadbeat nation, merely borrowing money today to pay the bills of yesterday, so, as the NY Times reports in this all-too-real article, many of the citizens of the US are also living not just paycheck-to-paycheck but short-term-loan-to-short-term-loan. As one debt-consolidation service noted "They've been borrowing just to meet payments on previous loans; it builds on itself." Rings an awfully loud bell eh? (and yes, we know the government's finances are not run like a households - though at some point the check book needs to balance). People in tough 'economic' situations fall into the 'poverty trap', borrowing money at ever higher interest rates in a shell game to keep previous borrowers at bay. The average debt for households earning $20,000 a year or less more than doubled to $26,000 between 2001 and 2010 - as people dig deeper, precisely because they long to escape. As the focus of the article notes, "the belt-tightening was the easy part... the larger problem was cash-flow." Critically, experiments show that 'economic' scarcity by itself - independent of personality or any other factors - fuels a drive to borrow recklessly.

 

Fitch Issues Another Rating Warning For AmericAAA

With precisely one month left until the early bound of the debt ceiling crunch and a possible US government shut down and/or technical default, and with M.A.D. warnings from the president and treasury secretary doing nothing to precipitate a sense of urgency (which will not arrive until there is a 20% market drop, so far consistently delayed but which will eventually happen), here comes the most toothless of rating agencies, French Fitch which somehow kept its mouth shut over the past 18 months, when US debt rose by over $2.1 trillion and debt to GDP hit 103%, shaking a little stick furiously, no doubt under guidance by its corporate HoldCo owners: French Fimilac SA.

1-14-13 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  WAITING FOR DATA KEEPS MARKETS IN CHECK 1-14-13 Im waiting for the action and volume to build once we get past economic and earnings data set to roll out this week. Tuesday brings us Retail Sales and the Empire State Mfg Survey while Wednesday well see earnings from banks like Goldman Sachs (GS) and JP Morgan (JPM). More earnings will follow Thursday and Friday with Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C) and Morgan Stanley (MS). Lets also remember Friday is options expiration. Given all the earnings and data the weeks action will increase accompanied by higher volatility.Overseas markets will react primarily to Industrial Production from China also due this week.Postponed for now is the next cliff as Obama and congress vie for the upper hand before February and March deadlines loom on the debt ceiling. Obama stated his case at a news conference today. Expect more from the congress soon enough.Also speaking as this is written is (were not printing money) Fed Chair Ben Bernanke who is pitching the validity of QEternity at the University of Michigan. Most questions were just soft balls but he did echo Obamas earlier comments that the congress needs to approve an increase in the debt ceiling. So, once again a short commentary is in order. Bulls seem to have markets well-maintained even one would argue levitating on light volume. This is a rather dangerous condition as markets try to take out mid-September 2012 highs.The trouble with markets Monday surrounded tech (QQQ) and heavyweight Apple (AAPL) where a report of weak material order volume may mean iPhone sales are in decline. The dollar (UUP) was weaker once again while gold (GLD) only was modestly higher. With bank (KBE) and financial (XLF) earnings near there is tension before these earnings are announced. Commodities (DBC) were marginally higher led by grains (JJG) and oil (USO) while base metals (DBB) were lower. Even as stocks struggled for direction, bonds (TLT) did as well.Volume remains well below even recent low averages of 145M shares for SPY for example. Breadth per the WSJ was mixed.This light volume is due to the upcoming weeks data. So since markets are mostly quiet so too will be this commentary…’

It Begins: Bundesbank To Commence Repatriating Gold From New York Fed

In what could be a watershed moment for the price, provenance, and future of physical gold, not to mention the "stability" of the entire monetary regime based on rock solid, undisputed "faith and credit" in paper money, German Handelsblatt reports in an exclusive that the long suffering German gold, all official 3,396 tons of it, is about to be moved. Specifically, it is about to be partially moved out of the New York Fed, where the majority, or 45% of it is currently stored, as well as the entirety of the 11% of German gold held with the Banque de France, and repatriated back home to Buba in Frankfurt, where just 31% of it is held as of this moment. And while it is one thing for a "crazy, lunatic" dictator such as Hugo Chavez to pull his gold out of the Bank of England, it is something entirely different, and far less dismissible, when the bank with the second most official gold reserves in the world proceeds to formally pull some of its gold from the bank with the most. In brief: this is a momentous development, one which may signify that the regime of mutual assured and very much telegraphed - because if the central banks don't have faith in one another, why should anyone else? - trust in central banks by other central banks is ending.

 

 

 

Guest Post: Despite Sanctions, Iran's Economy Limps Along

How effective have the sanctions been in moderating Irans behavior up to now? Current indications are not much, despite the damage inflicted on the countrys economy. On 9 January Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that Iran should establish more processing industries in the oil and gas sectors to reduce dependency on exports of crude oil and that the budget plan for the next Iranian year of 1392 (to start on 21 March) envisaged less dependence on crude oil revenues as the government intends to replace crude oil exports with oil derivatives to allow the nations economy to participate in the oil sectors lucrative downstream industry.... A regime that has weathered more than three decades of tumult in its efforts to construct an Islamic society seems unlikely in an energy-starved world to ameliorate its behavior solely to please the dictates of Washington, Brussels, the UN and Canberra. And oh, on 14 September 2012 the United States exempted Belgium, Britain, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, and Japan from complying with the sanctions for another 180 days, a list that was expanded on 8 December to include China, India, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Turkey, and Taiwan.

Geithner Unleashed: Sends Letter To Boehner, Warns Even Brief Default Would Be "Terribly Damaging", Channels Reagan

Following up on today's relentless debt ceiling propaganda, which started with the Politico report that more than half of republicans are willing to push the US into a "temporary" default, going through Obama's "We are not a deadbeat nation", but one whose president apparently will not debate the debt ceiling (the same president who as a Senator was against rising the debt ceiling) and closing with Boehner's rebuttal to Obama, saying the GOP would raise the debt ceiling but in exchange for spending cuts, sure enough it was time to unleash the Treasury Secretary in his last days on the job, toting the party line ("extending borrowing authority does not increase government spending; it simply allows the Treasury to pay for expenditures Congress has previously approved") making it "abundantly clear" that "Even a temporary default with a brief interruption in payments that Congress subsequently restores would be terribly damaging, calling into question the willingness of Congress to uphold Americas longstanding commitment to meet the obligations of the nation in full and on time.  It should also be noted that default would increase our borrowing costs and damage economic growth and therefore add to future budget deficits, not decrease them." The unleashed Geithner then proceeds to threaten: "Threatening to undermine our creditworthiness is no less irresponsible than threatening to undermine the rule of law, and no more legitimate than any other common demand for ransom." Finally, Geithner also made it clear that the CNBC "RISE ABOVE THE DEBT CEILING" campaign is now at T-30 to T-45: "Treasury currently expects to exhaust these extraordinary measures between mid-February and early March of this year" which however should not be news to anyone.

 

 

 

Must. Defend. $500

Just like Friday, there was virtually nothing notable to speak of in today's trading. The one catalyst that pushed stocks higher: all stocks, not just the one that may or may not be in play, was the DELL LBO rumor, that prevented the DJIA from going red on the day and pushed the 30 stock average well above the red, even if the S&P500 was not quite so lucky. As for what really mattered today, it is summarized in two words: "AAPL" and "$500." After breaching $500 briefly in the early trading session, the end of trading saw a concerted selling effort in the one stock most heavily owned by the hedge fund community, yet no matter how close it got to breaching $500, and sending the company into who knows what stop loss tailspin, someone kept buying just above $500  thereby preventing the uber levered hedge funds from having to start liquidating holdings to meet margin calls.

 

 

 

Watch As Ben Bernanke Answers Your Twitter Questions Live

Today at 4pm Eastern, Ben Bernanke, at the University of Michigans Ford School of Public Policy, will take live questions from Twitter for the first time as part of the Fed's new policy of openness. Of course, the policy won't be so open for him to answer if banks are actually using reserves as prop trading funding (as was the case with JP Morgan, and any other bank which realizes that when it comes to fungible cash, money is just 1s and 0s in a server somewhere). However, the filter may slip and at least one or two good questions may slip through. So please take this opportunity to submit any pressing questions you may have on the Fed's policy to pump the market to new stratospheric highs courtesy of $85 billion (for now) in monthly reserve injections into the Primary Dealers, by using the #fordschoolbernanke tag to your questions. For convenience, we have appended a twitter module below that captures all tweets with that querry.

 

 

 

It Took Algos 4 Seconds To Fully Process The Flashing Red DELL Headline

At precisely 14:04:08 a flashing red Bloomberg headline hit that "DELL IS SAID TO BE IN TALKS TO GO PRIVATE." Moments later the stock slammed higher by 10% triggering a circuit breaker. Whether or not there is an actual deal behind this is unknown: considering the "two sources" used by Bloomberg gave virtually no details on who the buyers are, or what the vision for the pro forma private company will be, we are inclined to assume this is nothing but a big, and successful, fishing expedition by a party that sought to make a quick buck. What we do know, is something completely unrelated. Courtesy of Nanex, who have broken down the trades from the pre-headline prices of $10.90 to the halt price of just under $12.00, it appears that today's robotic algo brains take no more and no less than 4 seconds to fully process flashing red headlines. This is how long it took to send the stock in a straight line from the bottom of the range to the top, because all along the ride there were offers, until finally the offer stack was exhausted at the circuit breaker price. To anyone who blinked and missed the move: condolences - just get a collocated algo and any future LBO announcements - real or fake - will be far more lucrative courtesy of an electronic trigger finger located right on the exchange.

 

 

 

Dell Supposedly In LBO Talks, Stock Soars

Moments ago Bloomberg broke news that $19 billion market cap Dell may be in talks to go public. The result was a 10% surge in the stock that halted the stock as a circuit was triggered. Of course, there was a headline caveat that "LBO TALKS MAY NOT LEAD TO A DEAL." Which is not improbable: at $19 billion market cap, the equity check would be substantial for any consortium of buyers, not to mention the debt. Then again this must be the New Normal LBO announcement, where PE firms "leak" news of a going private deal just so they get to pay an even higher 20% premium to a closing stock price.  But the truly hilarious part is that the entire multi-trillion market jumped as if stung following the news. And that is what passes for efficient markets these days. Unless, of course, the "here come the LBOs" thesis is now in play.

Greeks Raid Forests In Search Of Wood To Heat Homes

Tens of thousands of trees have disappeared from parks and woodlands this winter across Greece, authorities said, in a worsening problem that has had tragic consequences as the crisis-hit countrys impoverished residents, too broke to pay for electricity or fuel, turn to fireplaces and wood stoves for heat. Such woodcutting was last common in Greece during Germanys brutal occupation in the 1940s, underscoring how five years of recession and waves of austerity measures have spawned drastic measures. The average Greek will throw anything into the fireplace that can be burned, ranging from old furniture with lacquer, to old books with ink, in order to get warm, said Stefanos Sapatakis, an environmental-health officer at the Hellenic Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

 

 

 

"We Are Not A Deadbeat Nation" - Full Obama Transcript

The punchlines: "...the issue here is whether or not America pays its bills. We are not a deadbeat nation... And if the Republicans in Congress have made a decision that they want to shut down the government in order to get their way, then they have the votes, at least in the House of Representatives, probably to do that.... So we've got to pay our bills. And Republicans in Congress have two choices here. They can act responsibly, and pay America's bills, or they can act irresponsibly and put America through another economic crisis. But they will not collect a ransom in exchange for not crashing the American economy ... We've got to stop lurching from crisis to crisis to crisis when there's this clear path ahead of us that simply requires some discipline, some responsibility, and some compromise. That's where we need to go. That's how this needs to work."....  Yet should the "worst" (i.e. living within its means) happen to the US, then "Social Security checks, and veterans benefits will be delayed. We might not be able to pay our troops, or honor our contracts with small business owners. Food inspectors, air traffic controllers, specialist who track down loose nuclear materials wouldn't get their paychecks. Investors around the world will ask if the United States of America is in fact a safe bet. Markets could go haywire, interest rates would spike for anybody who borrows money. Every homeowner with a mortgage, every student with a college loan, every small business owner who wants to grow and hire.... As the speaker said two years ago, it would be, and I'm quoting Speaker Boehner now, "a financial disaster, not only for us, but for the worldwide economy.""

Still think "we are not a deadbeat nation"?

 

 

 

Boehner Responds: "The American People Do Not Support Raising Debt Ceiling Without Reducing Spending"

The American people do not support raising the debt ceiling without reducing government spending at the same time. The consequences of failing to increase the debt ceiling are real, but so too are the consequences of allowing our spending problem to go unresolved. Without meaningful action, the debt will continue to act as an anchor on our economy, costing American jobs and endangering our children's future. The House will do its job and pass responsible legislation that controls spending, meets our nation's obligations and keeps the government running, and we will insist that the Democratic majority in Washington do the same.

 

 

 

JP Morgan Mortgage Bank Fires 529

Nobody tell JPM's Tom Lee that JPM just fired 529 bankers from its Brooklyn-based Mortgage Bank ("independent foreclosure review" division) for "economic reasons." He might have some trouble reconciling it with his view on both the market and the economy which sees nothing but smooth sailing ahead. More to the point, with this mass layoff in the foreclosure review group, does this mean that JPM will simpy proceed with debt forgiveness for those millions who have been in foreclosure for about 3 years on average in New York state, and during which time they have not made one mortgage payment?

 

 

 

Obama Addresses Debt Ceiling And Potential US Default - Live Webcast

Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest said he will discuss the need for Congress to raise the debt ceiling?" Shot every time Obama says "not negotiate", "cut spending", "raise taxes", and "fair." Drink everything, including from the deodorant bottle, if he or a member of the press mentions "trillion dollar coin" or, even better, "build the death star."

 

 

Hedge Funds Most Levered And Long Since 2004

In the last days of 2012 we penned an article describing the current situation of the market as follows: "Margin Debt Soars To 2008 Levels As Everyone Is "All In", Levered, And Selling Vol." Today, Bloomberg catches up with this rather critical topic, and confirms that the buying power of the biggest marginal traders left in the market who do not recycled deposits into stocks - hedge funds - is nothing more than debt piled upon debt, as "Leverage among managers who speculate on rising and falling shares climbed to the highest level to start any year since at least 2004, according to data compiled by Morgan Stanley." BBG also recaps what our readers already know: "Margin debt at NYSE firms rose in November to the most since February 2008, data from NYSE Euronext show." In other words: everyone is all in and levered. And soon, in about two weeks, Bloomberg will figure out that everyone, or at least a central bank here or there, is, indeed, "selling vol."

 

 

Summary Of Key Events In The Coming Week

The week ahead will deliver important data from the US and China. In the US, the focus will be on retail sales and housing starts, as well as on the Philadelphia Fed and U. Michigan Consumer Sentiment surveys. Turning to China, the consensus forecast for China Q4 GDP is 7.8%yoy, while secondary data will come from the country's IP and FAI data updates.

1-11-13 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com SOME PERCEPTIBLE MARKET FATIGUE  1-11-13 This has been a light volume market week even as bulls have been able to sustain things overall. It didnt hurt another $5.5 billion in POMO from the Fed propped things for bulls. In China food inflation is taking a toll and unlike the U.S., China actually includes food in their inflation data (silly them, eh?) Inflation was the highest in 7 months. Domestic stock indexes like the Shanghai CSI 300 Index dropped nearly 2% on fears of government tightening. Like a tsunami this negatively affected most Asian markets especially a high beta affair like high-flyer Vietnam (VNM). U.S. stock sectors did seem disorderly as Biotechs (IBB) fell, banks were weak (KBE) as we await earnings, gold (GLD) weakened even as the dollar (UUP) fell sharply, bonds (TLT) were higher in price and commodities (DBC) were weaker even as grains (JJG) rallied sharply on crop data. All things considered markets look tired on weak volume. The Investment Company Institute (ICI) reports 18% of Mutual Fund assets were in money market funds. Cash on the sidelines? No doubt, but so is trust. The lack of trust in all things equity is reflected in weak volume which is down roughly double digits in percent terms since early 2012. And with so many HFTs and algo trading programs operating these may account for much more than the 70% previously. Volume Friday was once again ultra-light. Gone are the days of bullish, or even normal trading volume at over 150M-185M shares in SPY for example. Breadth per the WSJ was mixed.  { Interestingly (or not), I recently had occasion to tune in a daily wall street/business oriented show which features succinctly in a small amount of time salient financial stats, numbers and commentary from professionals from the street, ie., analysts, brokers, economists, ceos, etc.. In high school, I recall as part of a social studies course a mock stock market scenario where we picked actual stocks from, ie., wall street journal, and gave reasons for so doing. I recall one kid who picked a ski/winter sport retailer because we were in the winter and such was the time that such things are bought. Wow! There seemed to be such a simple, compelling, surface logic to same (I dont even recall what I picked, so meaningless it  was such recurring things as, ie., seasons, etc., are discounted well in advance though I was to pick oils for analysis in my later NYU MBA Finance, 1977, securities course which I do remember). Unfortunately, such seasonality is all but baked into stock prices with minor adjustments for ie., seasonal anomalies. Yet, on this show featuring a professional wallstreet trader/analyst, this seasoned wall street professional offered a similar seasonal reason for buying/being in a group of stocks (outside-of-home exercise/fitness gyms, programs, etc., because of new years resolutions to get in shape) for the next few winter months (personally Im a big fan of such things and would tout Walmart for the home as well as just about any other thing one wishes to buy with value, quality, and price in mind). I was absolutely astounded that this churn and earn oriented wall street professional said it with a straight face. Yet, thats exactly what wall streets become; viz., a few relatively meaningless sound bites/rumors, some true, some not, for the algo-driven computerized churn and earn. Wall Streets really become a huge nation-draining scam, particularly with the huge outright frauds still extant, marked to anything as per legislated FASB rule change, and unprosecuted. Yet, people wonder about/why americas precipitous decline and fall. }

The Investment World is Missing the Single Most Critical Issue In China

White House Petition To Publicly Assay And Validate The US Treasury's 8,100 Tons Of Gold

In the past few weeks there has been a veritable explosion of White House petitions ranging from the bizarre to the surreal to the outright absurd, including such demands as Texas (and other southern states) seceding, deporting Piers Morgan, not deporting Piers Morgan, creating a Joe Biden sitcom, and even making a total mockery out of the US, and global, monetary system and evading the debt ceiling using a cheap, platinum coin-based parlor trick. All of these are, for lack of a better word, a la carte distractions launched by bored American citizens, meant to evade the menial drudgery of everyday life, and, generally, reality. In short: entertainment. And, logically, virtually none have so far contained actual, actionable provisions, that stood to benefit all Americans, instead of just one half of the ideological or party split. At least not until a new petition appeared two days ago, one demanding that the administration do something that has never been done on the public record: perform an assayed public audit of all the 8,100 tons of gold owned by the US Treasury. And not just any audit, but one including "professional auditors outside of the Mint, Treasury, GAO, Inspector General and Federal Reserve system."

 

 

Guest Post: Insights Into Cultural Shifts From A Visit To A Hardware Store

"So this is what it looks like when a society is starting to collapse," the man standing behind the counter at the hardware store said matter-of-factly. The remark had been directed at no one in particular, but generally at anyone standing nearby. As I was among that audience, I looked at him inquisitively, eliciting in return a look indicating that his observation should be intuitively obvious to even the casual observer. "We should not be this busy," he continued. "People are normally out Christmas shopping for the latest tech gadgets for their kids, but instead they are spending their hard-earned money here." I had to agree with his observation, because the place was packed, and it was obvious that his inventory was disappearing from the glass showcases and from the wall behind the counter quicker than the store could replenish it.

Guest Post: Almost Half Of All Food Produced Is Thrown Away

Between 30 and 50 percent of all food produced globally, equivalent to two billion tons, is thrown away each year according to a recent report written by the UK-based Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IME), titled Global Food; Waste Not, Want Not. The Guardian states that overly-cautious sell by dates, buy one get one free deals, and an obsession with only consuming fruit and vegetables that look perfect are some of the main reasons for this colossal waste of, not only food, but also the water, energy, and arable land used in the creation of the food.

 

 

VIXtermination: Vol Banged To Lowest Close Since June 2007

Instead of a full recap of the market today, which did nothing all day on the lowest NYSE volume day of the year, we will present just one chart to show how it is that once again the market got its nearly miraculous green close and last hour ramp to avoid a red close for the day, and possibly week. The chart is, as has been so very often the case recently, that of the spot VIX, where the now usual gimmick of dumping oodles of VIX futures served to do one thing only: bang the close (a technical term, one which used to be illegal) so hard that the market's algos took the reflexivity signal implied by the evaporation in volatility as an all clear signal and bought risk in what is becoming an expected daily occurrence. And while the spot slid to close at 13.36, the lowest closing print since June 19, 2007, it was the dump in the last 25 seconds of trading that just had to be seen to be believed. Luckily, it can be seen below on the Bloomberg QR page showing it taking a step move lower from 13.38 to 13.22 at 15:59:35, before "recovering" to 13.38 just after the close.

 

 

Will CapEx Come Back?

Almost a year ago, we identified what the main stumbling block facing US (and global) corporations is in the New Normal ZIRP regime: namely corporate cash mismanagement, capital misallocation, and a serious lack of CapEx spending which leads to lack of revenue growth, secular declines in profits, further layoffs, and a broad contraction in corporate returns (absent the endless deus ex which is central-bank assisted multiple expansion). We also identified what in our view was the primary reason for this misallocation, which said simply, is the Fed's monetary policy which forces corporate executives to focus on short-term gratification of shareholders via prompt return of cash instead of reinvestment into the business - a critical requirement to assure top-line stability and growth. Today, we were happy to see that the issue of the disappearing CapEx -both in the US and globally - is the main topic of an analytical piece from UBS titled, simply enough, "Will capex come back?" And while we disagree with UBS, who has a more optimistic conclusion than ours, which we believe is a function of incorrectly identifying the reason for plunging CapEx, we are happy that more and more strategists have narrowed down what is without doubt the main hurdle to promoting a true, sustainable corporate recovery, instead of one where the only EPS beats are driven from one-time restructuring charges (which are now recurring on a quarterly basis), non-cash items, and most of all, even more layoffs of workers: something which in turn continues to eat away at the heart of any given economy, forcing even more monetary intervention, and even more CapEx spending cuts.

 

 

Up To 3.5% Of US 2013 GDP Could Evaporate Due To Enacted Tax Hikes

We were surprised to learn that according to at least one model created by Goldman, the total consumption hit for all of 2013 (not just H1), may well be higher than what most people assume (roughly 1.5%). In fact, as Goldman shows, based on a model conceived by Christina and David Romer, it is possible that US GDP growth in the second half is slashed by an additional 2-2.5%, something which very likely will tip the country into recession as the combined impact over the entire year could be as high as 3.5%, eliminating even the most optimistic forecasts for organic growth in the US for the new year. But it gets worse. As Goldman observes, "based on our reading of the debate in Washington, we have become more concerned about our assumption that the automatic spending cuts (or "sequester") will be delayed into 2014. If the sequester takes effect as scheduled from March 1, this would present an additional downside risk to our growth forecast in the later part of the  year." So the worst case scenario for GDP growth from tax hikes alone is already 3.5%, and one may have to add to that another several percent in GDP reduction from an spending cuts, which might well lead to a 4-5% GDP drop in 2013 in the worst case, a case determined solely by the dysfunction in Washington.

 

 

New York's Other Epidemic

The flu will come and go, but another, far more troubling epidemic appears to have gripped New York: one which, in a post Sandy Hook world, probably needs as much discussion as tragic mass murders conducted by deranged lone gunmen, especially since absolutely nobody appears to be addressing this particular issue. Why? Because, frankly we think the two kinds of tragedies are very intimately connected.

FleeceBook: Meet JP Morgan's Matt Zames

Previously, in our first two editions of FleeceBook, we focused on "public servants" working for either the Bank of International Settlements, or the Bank of England (doing all they can to generate returns for private shareholders, especially those of financial firms). Today, for a change, we shift to the private sector, and specifically a bank situated at the nexus of public and private finance: JP Morgan, which courtesy of its monopolist position at the apex of the Shadow Banking's critical Tri-Party Repo system (consisting of The New York Fed, The Bank of New York, and JP Morgan, of course) has an unparalleled reach (and domination - much to Lehman Brother's humiliation) into not only traditional bank funding conduits, but "shadow" as well. And of all this bank's employees, by far the most interesting, unassuming and "underappreciated" is neither its CEO Jamie Dimon, nor the head of JPM's global commodities group (and individual responsible for conceiving of the Credit Default Swap product) Blythe Masters, but one Matt Zames.

 

 

Blame It On The Flu

Economic weakness in November was blamed on Hurricane Sandy. Economic weakness in December was blamed on the Fiscal Cliff. Now, we know what economic weakness in January will be blamed on: the flu.

US Q4 GDP: From 2.5% To Sub 1% in Under Six Months

Look forward to hope being forced to surge even more to offset for this cut by nearly 50% ot the consensus Q4 GDP estimate of 1.5% prior to today. And while we wait for Bloomberg to compile today's massive downward revision to economic growth, this is how Q4 GDP tracking estimates looked like in the past 6 months before today's downward revision which will take the consensus line to 1% or under.

 

 

Tom DeMark: "Sell The World" And Soon, The US

Because there are still some traders who adhere to such old normal traditions as charting and technical analysis (because apparently the FOMC committee sits down each month and observes Ichimoku clouds, RSI indicators and Bollinger bands), it is probably notable that one of the most respected chartists, Steve Cohen's favorite technician Tom DeMark, is now uniformly bearish on virtually all markets around the world which have triggered a sell signal in his studies, and is about to drop the axe on the US as well where a "Daily 13" signal is imminent. The caveat, of course, is that in a world in which fundamentals haven't mattered in years, why should technicals?

1-10-13 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  THE MARKET MELT-UP RESUMES  1-10-13  Earnings news is at hand. The most watched will be financials (XLF) and Banks (KBE) which will get it going in major way mid-week next. If there has been some hesitancy which has been reflected in ultra-light volume its due to uncertainty in these sectors specifically. Analysts have been downgrading bank earnings forecasts but some expect disappointments while others assume beats and better guidance.We can only follow the system we trade which has had us long but the light volume is disturbing. Lets remember that liquidity from the Fed is still raining down on trading desks and markets.Jobless Claims were higher (371K vs 362K expected & prior revised lowerfor the first time in a yearto 367K from 372K). Wholesale Inventories were higher (.6% vs .3% expected & prior .6%). Friday there will be more trade data then next week will feature more impressive economic data.The president nominated Jack Lew (signature above) to be Treasury Secretary and perhaps he has a better skill set when working with TurboTax than Timmy.Overseas ECB head Mario Draghi made no changes to interest rate policies which strengthened the euro (FXE). Further he stated that he saw no exuberance (interesting choice of words) in eurozone financial markets. That put a bid under eurozone stocks (IEV) and (EFA) for example. The dollar (UUP) was weaker and gold (GLD) rallied more sharply than recently. Commodities (DBC) also pressed ahead with the weaker dollar and some sense that economic growth globally will be better. Bonds (IEF) we modestly lower.U.S. stocks were higher for the second day with financials once again returning to prominence while long suffering gold miners (GDX) rallied. Tech, positive early, saw a 2:15 PM Buy Program Express as Apple (AAPL) rallied off its lows. One reason not to trust WSJ analysts is how weird their forecasts can be. A Piper Jaffrey analyst on Thursday reduced his price target for Apple from $900 to $850. I guess well have to Rip Van Winkle it for a while. Of course the worst thing that happens for investors with analysts is when they recommend a stock you buy then leave their firm. When the stock recommended falters the company then just says: We dont cover that company any longer. Worthless, eh?Some investors could give a rip about volume but light volume troubles me just as much on rallies as on declines. And volume Thursday was again unremarkable. Breadth per the WSJ was quite positive…’

To "The Precious Metal Purchasing Act" From Executive Order 6102 - Santelli's Take

"Ever heard of SB3341?" is Rick Santelli's opening salvo in today's rantless discussion of the concerns he has with Illinois' 'Precious Metal Purchasing Act'. While passed in the Illinois Senate last year, and moth-balled in the House since, Rick notes that "the long and short of it is is they want an audit trail to any precious metals, whether you're talking coins or bullion." It does not seem too much of a stretch to this Chicagoan to the 1933 Executive Order #6102 that confiscated gold and cleared the way eventually for Nixon's 1971 disconnect of the dollar from gold. As Liberty Blitzkrieg's Mike Krieger notes: "So let me get this straight.  First they want gun registration and now precious metal registration?  Im sure the government would only use such information in our best interests, because as we all know: Your Government Loves You.  Sounds reasonable, after all, only 'terrorists' buy guns and gold anyway."

 

 

USA 10th For Global Economic Freedom In 2013

When institutions protect the liberty of individuals, greater prosperity results for all. Economist Adam Smith formed this theory in his influential work, The Wealth of Nations, in 1776. In 2013, his theory is measured by the Index of Economic Freedom. The world average score of 59.6 was only one-tenth of a point above the 2012 average. Since reaching a global peak in 2008, the WSJ and Heritage note, economic freedom has continued to stagnate.  From North Korea (the least 'free') to Hong Kong (the most 'free') the following heatmaps break down the 177 countries covered across 10 specific categories. The worlds most-improved country is Georgia, and the country that saw the biggest decline was Belize (we blame McAfee). The United States, with an economic freedom score of 76, registered a loss of economic freedom for the fifth consecutive year, and its lowest score since 2000. Its score is 0.3 point lower than last year, with declines in monetary freedom, business freedom, labor freedom, and fiscal freedom.

A Record $220 Billion "Deposit" Injection To Kick Start To The 2013 Market

When people talk about "cash in the bank", or "money on the sidelines", the conventional wisdom reverts to an image of inert capital, used by banks to fund loans (as has been the case under fractional reserve banking since time immemorial) sitting in a bank vault or numbered account either physically or electronically, and collecting interest, well, collecting interest in the Old Normal (not the New ZIRPy one, where instead of discussing why it is not collecting interest the progressive intelligentsia would rather debate such trolling idiocies as trillion dollar coins, quadrillion euro Swiss cheeses, and quintillion yen tuna). There is one problem, however, with this conventional wisdom: it is dead wrong.  Tracking deposit flow data is so critical, as it provides hints of major inflection points, such as when there is a massive build up of deposits via reserves (either real, from saving clients, or synthetic, via the reserve pathway) which can then be used as investments in the market. And of all major inflection points, perhaps none is more critical than the just released data from today's H.6 statement, which showed that in the trailing 4 week period ended December 31, a record $220 billion was put into savings accounts (obviously a blatant misnomer in a time when there is no interest available on any savings). This is the biggest 4-week total amount injected into US savings accounts ever, greater than in the aftermath of Lehman, greater than during the first debt ceiling crisis, greater than any other time in US history.

 

 

Jim Grant Exposes "The Bureau Of Money Materialization" And A Submerging America

Jim Grant spends exactly the correct amount of time (zero) discussing the "urban myth' of the trillion dollar coin in this brief interview on CNBC; instead deciding to try and strike up some intelligent understanding of the dire situation we face. By providing context for our massive 16 trillion dollar debt (360 million pounds of $100 bills), and explaining how exponential the idiocy has become, Grant brings us full circle as he explains to the money-honey that once upon a time our debt was backed by gold, and "there was only so much gold and so many dollars," thus limiting our exuberance, but "now we have neither the gold covering the dollar nor do we have interest rates constraining us [thanks to Bernanke et al.]; the only thing remaining to constrain us is some sort of civil discussion, a numerate discussion about the debt," which it appears the bespectacled and bow-tie-bound bond brain-box hopes is possible. "The debt has increased twice as fast as federal receipts," he warns, adding correctly that "the United States is truly submerging."

 

 

Guest Post: The Return of Mercantilism

Mercantilist trade policies have returned in a big, big way. States around the world including in the West, and especially America, have massively adopted corporatist domestic policies, even while spouting the rhetoric of free trade and economic liberalism publicly. A key difference between a free market economy, and a corporatist command economy is the misallocation of capital by the central planning process. While mercantile economies can be hugely productive, the historic tendency in the long run has been toward the command economies — which allocate capital based on the preferences of the central planner. This means that the competition is now over who can run the most successful corporatist-mercantilist system. This is the worst of both worlds for America. All of the disadvantages of mercantilism — the rent-seeking corporate-industrial complex, the misallocation of capital through central planning, the fragility of a centralised system — without the advantage of a strong domestic productive base.

 

 

Revision Wipes Outs "Surprising" December Philly Fed Surge

On December 20, when we posted on the miraculous surge in the Philly Fed, offsetting the far weaker NY Fed data, we were left scratching our heads as the upwardly inflecting data made little sense in the context of broader data. To wit: "Three days ago the New York Fed released the December print Empire State index which showed a broad contraction across all key verticals. Today, in fine "keeping them baffled with bullshit" form, the Philly Fed swing precisely the other way, and despite expectations for a second consecutive negative print of -3 to be precise, up from -10.7 last month, the General Business Activity indicator printed at 8.1, the highest print since April, with New Orders at 10.7, the highest since February, and Employment at 3.6, the highest since April. Naturally, the algos pretending to trade on news, took this news and ran futures higher..." We also added, rather providently, "Needless to say, all economic data in the US at this point is completely meaningless, with regional distortions, seasonal adjustments, political pressures and overall central planning making a mockery of the US economic data apparatus." Today, 20 days after the data release, we get the explanation for this very surprising jump, which naturally put the algos in a buying tizzy and sent the market higher by 1% (before it flash crashed late in the night) on the date of its release, as well as the latest validation of our skepticism, courtesy of the Philly Fed annual data revision. So how does December looks like pre and post-revision? Well, it is self-explanatory: look at the chart and decide for yourselves - blue is original, red is revised.

 

 

"It's Starting To Feel A Lot Like 2007"

The credit markets this week already look very different to how they ended last year. As BofAML's Barnaby Martin notes, beta-compression, flatter curves and credit outperformance versus equity have all been abundant themes of late. Relative value is still there, when one looks closely, but is unfortunately not what it used to be. He adds that "things in credit have started to feel a lot like 2007 again," and while he believes the trend is set to continue (though slower) and the liquidity-flooded fundamentals in the high-yield bond market have been holding up well, it is trends in the leveraged loan market, that continue to deteriorate, that are perhaps the only canary in the coal-mine worth watching as global central bank liquidity merely slooshes to the highest spread product in developed markets (until that is exhausted). The rolling 12m bond default rate among European high-yield issuers fell to 1.8% in December, whereas loan default rates rose to 8.5%. With leverage rising, the hope for ever more greater fools continues, even as everyone is forced into the risky assets.

 

 

 

Initial Claims Miss Fourth Week In A Row; Prior Week Revised Lower

Initial claims came, saw and missed for the 4th week in a row, printing at 371K, on expectations of a decline from 372K to 365K. As happens at the end of every year when employers turn on the pink sheet machine, the not seasonally adjusted number soared from 490K to 552K in the week ending January 5, a difference to the seasonally adjusted print of 181K. This is to be expected. What was unexpected is that the last week print saw its first downward adjustment in what seems years (it actually is years), with the December 29 week claims number declining from 372K to 367K, probably as a result of all the year end guessing that goes on to assist the other guessing that goes into the seasonal adjustment guessing. In short: everyone is guessing. States that saw a surge in layoffs in the week ended December 29 were MI (+15K) and PA (+12K) due to "Layoffs in the manufacturing industry", and  "Layoffs in the transportation, construction, food and beverage manufacturing, and metals industries." Finally those claiming extended benefits plunged by 76K in the last week of 2012, putting further pressure on the strength of the US consumer. Overall a report that confirms that 6 years after the start of the Depression, propped by some $15 trillion in central bank reserve liquidity injections the bulk of which has been used to prop stock markets, there is still no actual improvement in the economy.

 

 

 

Greek Unemployment Soars To New Record, 56.6% Of 15-24 Year Olds Without Job

Judging by ongoing momentum moves in various European stock and bond market indicators, one could be left with the impression that something in the continent is actually improving. And while hope of improvement is certainly be high, the reality is vastly different as confirmed by the just released Greek unemployment data, which saw the broad unemployment rate soar to a fresh record high of 26.8% in October (24.1% males, 30.4% females - that's nearly one in three), up from a pre-revision 26.0% in September, and up from 19.7% a year ago, the youth (15-24 age group) unemployment rising again to a new all time high of 56.6% (up from 56.4%), and the ratio of those employed (3.68MM) to unemployed (1.34MM) plunging to a record low 2.75x. At this rate it may well hit 1.00x quite soon. But even sooner, perhaps in a few months, the total number of inactive workers (3.34MM) will surpass all those who are working. In short, the Greek collapse is just getting worse and worse.

 

 

ECB Keeps Rates Unchanged

No change from the ECB as expected, and despite a hint by Draghi last time that the governing council may cut rates, it did not. The boredom continues until 8:30 am Eastern when Draghi takes the podium and resumes his rendition of Greenspan.

1-09-13 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   NO "BIG WEDNESDAY" FOR MARKETS  1-9-13 If I said markets stabilized youd think me a realtor describing current conditions. But we rallied slightly taking back some of Tuesdays losses but still mostly down on the week.Alcoas (AA) earnings report did little for the stocks price but the materials sector (XLB) rallied overall. Holding markets back were financials (XLF) and banks (KBE) (BAC) as worries over forthcoming earnings results have made investors nervous. Technology (XLK) eked-out some gains despite ongoing selling in heavyweight Apple (AAPL) as sector rotation remains in play while software (IGV) and internet rallied (FDN).The dollar (UUP) was slightly higher due mostly to a decline in the yen (FXY). Gold prices (GLD) weakened once again as did oil (USO) and commodity prices (DBC). Along with commodity results you might check out Darin Newsoms comments regarding the outlook for agricultural commodities. Bonds (TLT) were slightly weaker as stocks came back Wednesday.Overseas markets (EFA) and (EEM) for example moved along higher with U.S. sectors as correlations remain high. There may still be some rotation back to U.S. markets from outperforming overseas markets now the fiscal cliff has passed.There was little economic news aside from energy inventories which were somewhat bearish overall. More data will follow Thursday with Jobless Claims but little else as the week evolves.Volume was absurdly light as investors are holding their fire for more earnings news. Breadth per the WSJ was positive.

It's Official: It's A Broken Market And "Hundreds Of Thousands" of Orders Affected

It will not come as a surprise to too many Zero Hedge readers but we feel a big told-you-so dance coming on again.  Via BATS:

*BATS SAYS 'SYSTEM ISSUE' CAUSED PRICING PROBLEMS OVER 4 YRS:WSJ

BZX Exchange (10/24/08 - 01/04/13) Average Daily Incidents: 410.1 Total Incidents: 433,039

In simple terms BATS admits that the Reg NMS trading principle of NBBO (National Best Bid or Offer) has failed; meaning the core premise of market structure since 2005 has been massively abused by at least one and likely all exchanges. The bottom-line is that the primary and really only safeguard in the market when HFT was unleashed was never operational and the SEC has had i) no actual supervision over who or what was abusing the NBBO and ii) no way of keeping track of what really happens in the market.

 

 

Guest Post: Is American Justice Dead?

Every nation-state has a body of laws woven into the fabric of society. As Peruvian economist Hernando de Soto has commented on extensively, the stronger the rule of law, the stronger the economy. And by "stronger" laws, I mean laws that are impervious to tampering for personal or political gains. The connection between a sound judiciary and economic health is readily comprehensible, except maybe to a politician... businesses and individuals are far more likely to invest capital in a country with understandable laws that are impartially and universally enforced than if the opposite condition exists. That's because the lack of a consistent body of law breeds uncertainty and adds a huge element of risk for entrepreneurs. Which brings us back to the matter at hand American justice on a slippery slope.

Small Business Optimism Stagnates (Even Before Higher Taxes)

The release of the National Federation Of Independent Business (NFIB) Small Business Survey for December was much like the report we discussed in November.  In short - there were very few positives to be found.  The current survey was completed prior to the last minute "fiscal cliff" deal that raised taxes on small business owners and employers.  It is unlikely that higher tax rates will spur businesses to expand employment, make capital expenditures or increase production.  Furthermore, with the resolution to the upcoming debt ceiling likely resulting in few, if any, real spending cuts the worries about future economic strength will likely persist. 

 

 

Brodsky's Thompsonesque Trip Into The World Of Monetary Idiots Vs Krugman's Barbarians

In light of this evening's entertainment from Paul Krugman, we thought QBAMCO's Paul Brodsky's view of the present debt-ceiling policy-through-the-looking-glass extremely apropos. Speaking of monetary abstractionism, there has been recent talk of a fiscal gimmick called The Trillion Dollar Coin, in which a platinum coin valued at $1 trillion would be created by the U.S. Mint for the Treasury Department. Treasury would then rid itself of its pesky fiscal deficit in one fell swoop by simply keeping the coin on deposit at the Fed. The TDC idea is a marvel of political imagination and public ignorance. Obviously, the TDC idea is a political ploy with a targeted mission: to rid the US Treasury of its debt ceiling, which is an increasingly frequent and embarrassing public reminder of government ineptitude. Everyone knows government-led de-levering is not a serious threat. However, the irony of the scheme and its MMT (Modern Money Theory, is espoused by imaginative economists technically proficient in double-entry bookkeeping and deficient in confidence that free marketplaces can provide accurate valuations) / liberal Keynesian promoters could not be more delicious. The scheme exposes the forty year-old charade, otherwise known as the global monetary system, better than any mind-exercise we have been able to come up with.

 

 

Postponement, Draghi, And Accounting

The world has done everything humanly possible to put off any tough financial decisions and that is especially true in Europe and in America. The leaders on both Continents just cannot take the heat and so everything possible has been pushed forward in the hopes that economies will improve and that growth will cure the ills brought on by the lack of any real leadership. The centerpiece of the success of lower yields in all of the countries in Europe rests squarely upon Draghis Save the World plan where the ECB will backstop everything. A careful examination of the numbers and the possibilities limit what can be done in 2013 and the countries in question are Greece, Portugal, Cyprus, Spain and Italy. The other side of the coin here is social unrest that I believe will surface in the spring so that the present general belief that things have improved in Europe is nothing more than a hope which is fashioned by political design. The debt to GDP ratios for each nation in Europe are nothing more than gimmickry. The central banks, phony accounting and a promise by the ECB may well have saved 2012 from an implosion but 2013 brings a new set of circumstances that are far less appealing than last year. Stay safe!

 

 

20 Facts About The Collapse Of Europe That Everyone Should Know

The economic implosion of Europe is accelerating. Even while the mainstream media continues to proclaim that the financial crisis in Europe has been averted, the economic statistics that are coming out of Europe just continue to get worse. Meanwhile, those of us living in the United States smugly look down our noses at Europe because we are still living in a false bubble of debt-fueled prosperity. But eventually we will feel the sting of austerity as well. The recent fiscal cliff deal was an indication of that. Taxes are going up and government spending is at least going to slow down. It wont be too long before the effects of that are felt in the economy. And of course the reality of the situation is that the U.S. economy really did not perform very well at all during 2012 when you take a look at the numbers. The cold, hard truth is that the U.S. economy has been declining for a very long time, and there are a whole bunch of reasons to expect that our decline will accelerate even further in 2013. So if you are an American, dont laugh at what is happening over in Europe at the moment. We are headed down the exact same path that they have gone, and we are going to experience the same kind of suffering that they are going through right now. Use these last few bubble months to prepare for what is ahead.

 

 

$10,000 Gold And 'Monetary' Roots: From Kunta Kinte To Keynes

The saga of an American family centered around Kunta Kinte's roller-coaster life through freedom and slavery made Santiago Capital's Brent Johnson reflect on just how critical 'roots' are in many aspects of our lives. From anthropology and linguistics to the root of law in the US Constitution and Bill of Rights, Johnson extends the analogy to precious metal derivatives exchanges rooted in trust and explains that money is not the root of all evil. While his political taunts and Keynesian antagonism is well worth the price of admission, it is the discussion of the 'manipulation and debasement of money' as the root of all evil that is key as the manager explains gold's centuries long avoidance of this Lenin- or Keynes-inspired comprehension of how governments can "confiscate wealth" and by a "process of inflation... can overturn the existing basis of society." Gold provides the roots or solid base on which economies have grown (or individuals stored value) for all of recorded history. His conclusion is key - a tree (currency) with no roots simply cannot stand for long and the market will eventually come to the same conclusion it has for the last 5000 years as the OTC derivative bubble implodes.

 

 

Why US Prisons Are So Overcrowded

On the day that California's Governor Jerry Brown asks federal judges to lift an order to release prisoners to reduce overcrowding, this brief clip seemed extremely appropriate when considering just why it is that the US prison population is so high (as we noted most recently here). Professor Daniel D'Amico provides some insightful color, noting that fully 24 percent of inmates in U.S. prisons are non-violent drug offenders. The drug war has been adding to a growing U.S. prison population for the past 40 years. Today, the United States holds more human beings in prisons than any other country, both as a percentage of the population and in counting total numbers. The war on drugs has led to significant increases in the U.S. prison population and he argues that perhaps this is an ineffective way to address drug use in America. An interesting dilemma on the day when another 'freedom', that of gun ownership, is up for potential prohibition.

 

 

Panic In California As Thousands Of Food Stamps Cards Suffer Brief Outage

This past weekend, as part of a system update to the CalWIN software of California's Social Services department, HP accidentally cancelled EBT cards for some 37,000 Californians. We can only imagine the resulting panic and the scramble by all these Californians who suddenly could not live within their means to print trillion, and other denomination, coins, in the shining example of their government. The OC Register reports that eighteen counties were affected in the CalFresh chaos (the 'friendly' name given to California's food stamp program - also formerly known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP). While we worry for the strippers and liquor stores  (AP: and don’t forget particularly the illegal drug dealers) CalWIN and Xerox (the state's primary contractor for administering CalFresh) developed a process to reactivate the cards by Tuesday morning. While this must have been a tough day or two for many, we wonder if Geithner's 'extraordinary' efforts to extend the debt ceiling deadline have perhaps gone a little too far? Finally, instead of minting coins, perhaps Hewlett Packard can remotely update its software in the Fed printers, which can then proceed to print a few cool extra trillion unsupervised, and voila: all of America's problems are gone.

US Mint Sells Massive 3.9 Million Ounces Of Silver Coins In First Few Days Of 2013, Triple December's Total

Just a few days ago we noted the massive surge in physical gold coin sales from the US Mint, with silver surprisingly lagging. Today, we see an even more dramatic surge in the sales of physical Silver Coins in the first week of January, which in a few short days hit 3.94 million oz, already surpassing the entire December total of 1.64 million ounces. It seems that the paper-to-physical currency rotation is gathering pace even as, or thanks to the trillion dollar platinum coin mercifully ending its 15 minutes of page-clicking, ad revenue infamy. In the secondary market, inventories (via APMEX) of Silver coins remain negligible, if any: American Eagles are available as follows: 2013s may be available 1/18, maybe not; 2012 - 0; 2011 - 0; 2010 - 0; 2009 - 0; 2008 - 0; 2007 - 0; 2006 - 0; 2005 - 0; 2004 - 0; 2003 - 0; 2002 - 0. They do have some 2000, 2001 and 2007, all about $5-6 over spot! It seems ever more people are getting nervous about the impact of currency wars on their "money"... or perhaps just want to make Silver shirts to attract the females?

 

 

Howard Marks: "There Are Times For Aggressiveness; Now Is A Time For Caution"

Oaktree Capital's Howard Marks begins his latest missive with a few hard truths. Anyone who has read his memos of the last 23 years will see he returns often to a few topics. This is due to the frequency with which themes tend to recur in the investment world. Humans, he notes, often fail to learn. They forget the lessons of history, repeat patterns of behavior and make the same mistakes. As a result, certain themes arise over and over. Mark Twain had it right: History doesnt repeat itself, but it does rhyme. The details of the events may vary greatly from occurrence to occurrence, but the themes giving rise to the events tend not to change. Most or all of these themes have to do with behavior thats observed in the markets over and over. The good news is that todays investors are painfully aware of the many uncertainties. The bad news is that, regardless, theyre being forced by the low interest rates to bear substantial risk at returns that have been bid down. Their scramble for return has brought elements of pre-crisis behavior very much back to life. In 2004, I stated the following conclusion: There are times for aggressiveness. I think this is a time for caution. Here as 2013 begins, I have only one word to add: ditto.

 

 

Guest Post: Japan Explores War Scenarios with China

As Japans Liberal Democratic Party national defense task force announced on Jan. 8 that it would increase the nations defense budget by more than 100 billion yen ($1.15 billion), three of five scenarios explored by the defense ministry recently involve the Self-Defense Forces squaring off against the Peoples Liberation Army (PLA). While the scenarios remain in the realm of speculation, Japans inclusion of a Taiwan contingency again underscores the importance Tokyo places on Taiwan remaining de-facto independent. Certainly, Chinas assertiveness in 2012 in both the East China and the South China Sea has done little to reassure Tokyo that it could live comfortably with a CCP-controlled Taiwan so close to its waters and territory.

Over the past few years, more and more highly educated people have turned to food stamps and other forms of welfare for help...

 

 

Bank Of America On The "Trillion Dollar Tooth Fairy" Straight "From The Land Of Fiscal Make Believe"

A year ago, out of nowhere, the grotesque suggestion to "resolve" the US debt ceiling with a platinum dollar coin came, and like a bad dream, mercifully disappeared even as the debt ceiling negotiations dragged until the last minute, without this idea being remotely considered for implementation, for one simple reason: it is sheer political, monetary and financial lunacy. And yet there are those, supposedly intelligent people, who one year later, continue dragging this ridiculous farce, as a cheap parlor trick which is nothing but a transparent attempt for media trolling and exposure, which only distracts from America's unsustainable spending problem and does nothing to address the real crisis the US welfare state finds itself in. And while numerous respected people have taken the time to explain the stupidity of the trillion dollar coin, few have done so as an integral part of the statist mainstream for one simple reason - it might provide a loophole opportunity, however tiny, to perpetuate the broken American model even for a day or two, if "everyone is in on it." Luckily, that is no longer the case and as even Ethan Harris from Bank of America (a firm that would be significantly impaired if America was forced to suddenly live within its means), the whole idea is nothing more than "the latest bad idea" straight "from the land of fiscal make believe."

The Chinese economy has been enjoying a cyclical rebound since the beginning of Q4 2012. SocGen's central scenario is that this recovery will last until early Q2 2013 and then gradually lose momentum. In the medium term, they still anticipate a bumpy path of secular deceleration, leading to an average growth rate of 6-7% over the next five to seven years, down from 10% per annum over the last three decades. This piece focuses on what is probably the most popular what-if question about the Chinese economy what if China hard lands (with real GDP growth rate plummets to below 6%)? As China undergoes demographic ageing and growth of the working-age population slows, this minimum stable growth level will decline further. However, if progress in rebalancing and structural reform remains slow, the probability of a hard landing will rise over the medium term. In the tail risk scenario set out below, 2013 will see several quarters with just 3% growth and full year growth would stand at just 4.2%, but what are th triggers, how would it evolve, how would the government respond, and how bad could things get?

 

 

The Trends to Watch in 2013

Rather than attempt to predict the unpredictable that is, specific events and price levels lets look instead for key dynamics that will play out over the next two to three years. Though the specific timelines of crises are inherently unpredictable, it is still useful to understand the eventual consequences of influential trends. In other words: policies that appear to have been successful for the past four years may continue to appear successful for a year or two longer. But that very success comes at a steep, and as yet unpaid, price in suppressed systemic risk, cost, and consequence.

 

 

Apple Working On Cheaper, "Commoditized" iPhone

In what may be very disturbing news for the AAPL-borg collective and the broader Hotel AAPLfornia, WSJ is reporting that Apple is working on a lower-end iPhone, a move which it dubs "a big shift in strategy as its supremacy in smartphones has slipped." To call this a big shift is a major understatement: no longer will Apple have the premium, ultra-luxury, aspirational product cache, which for a broad selection of its customers was the primary reason to keep buying iteration after iteration of the company's releases and lining up in droves around the block on release day. Especially since anyone seeking a "cheaper" iPhone could just buy a previous generation iteration of a gadget whose new product launch cadence is now jumping to twice a year, soon thereafter three times, and so on. Yet saddest for all those who have watched the progress of this iconic company over the past decade from the sidelines regardless of sentiment, the consumer products "Ferrari" that Steve Jobs built, just announced it is launching its own Yugo.

 

 

 

November Consumer Credit Soars, Driven By Student And Car Loans: 95% Of All 2012 Consumer Debt Funded By Uncle Sam

SSDM: just like in October, and September, and August, and so on, November consumer credit saw a decent pick up of $16 billion, well above the expectation of $12.75 billion, above the $14.1 billion in October, and the third highest monthly print of 2012. And if this was driven even remotely by actual short-term consumption demand, it would likely be a good sign, as it would imply consumers have more faith in being able to repay their credit cards. Sadly, of the entire $16 billion jump, only $817 million, or 5%, was based on a jump in revolving credit. The real "growth" came as usual courtesy of Uncle Sam handouts, solely in the form of auto and student loans, which accounted for a whopping $15.2 billion of the increase in consumer debt, the second largest jump in the year, second only to the $18 billion in January. And as everyone knows, student loans are already on fast track to forgiveness (full forgiveness in 10 years if one works for the government), as will be the case for those NINJAs who buy GM cars using government loans. For all of 2012, a whopping $130 billion of the $137 billion total has been in the form of government handouts. In other words, nearly 1% of 2012 GDP has been funded by Uncle Sam in the form of (dischargeable) loans which everyone else will be responsible for, until nobody at all is responsible.

1-07-13 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  PROFIT-TAKING MONDAY 1-7-13 Stocks were due for a pullback and early debt ceiling lines in the sand by the combatants stimulated some selling. Im happy to report ETF Digest 2012 portfolio returns from 7 model portfolios were 6%, 7%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 20% and 22%. The lowest returns were from portfolios with the heaviest cash balances. So its onward to 2013 with many challenges ahead.There was little in the way of economic news and earnings season will be much in view as Alcoa (AA) leads the charge with fourth quarter results. Beginning January 10th the ECB will be meeting with the focus on eurozone interest rates and Draghis pledge to defend the euro (FXE). Further the yen (FXY) rallied from a 3 week low as investors study what the ECB will do. Overall the yen is a crowded short trade and some feel there will be some resistance against newly elected Prime Minister Abes stimulus designed to weaken the yen and stimulate growth. Many believe the overall yen trade target is 90 to the U.S. Dollar (UUP) which fell Monday.Gold (GLD) continues its battle to find direction even as noted the dollar was weaker. Commodity prices (DBC) were mixed to flat. Stocks were broadly lower by less than half a percent.As a consequence of the overall lackluster action this commentary will be short as we await more action. Volume was quite light once again on selling. Breadth per the WSJ was mixed to mildly negative overall…’

Dear Steve Liesman: Here Is How The US Financial System Really Works

Earlier today, Bill Frezza of the Competitive Enterprise Institute and CNBC's Steve Liesman got into a heated exchange over a recent Frezza article, based on some of the key points we made in a prior post "A Record $2 Trillion In Deposits Over Loans - The Fed's Indirect Market Propping Pathway Exposed" in which, as the title implies, we showed how it was that the Fed was indirectly intervening in the stock market by way of banks using excess deposits to chase risky returns and general push the market higher. We urge readers to spend the few minutes of this clip to familiarize themselves with Frezza's point which is essentially what Zero Hedge suggested, and Liesman's objection that "this is something the banks don't do and can't do." Liesman's naive  view, as is to be expected for anyone who does not understand money creation under a fractional reserve system, was simple: the Fed does not create reserves to boost bank profits, and thus shareholder returns, and certainly is not using the fungible cash, which at the end of the day is what reserves amount to once dispersed among the US banks, to gun risk assets higher.

Alas, Steve is very much wrong.

 

 

Meet Jack Lew: Tim Geithner's Replacement

Bloomberg is out after hours with news that was expected by many, but which was yet to be formalized, until now: namely that following today's flurry of contntious nomination by Obama, the latest and greatest is about to be unveiled - Jack Lew, Obama's current chief of staff, is likely days away from being announced as Tim Geithner's replacement as the new Treasury Secretary of the United States. In other words, Jack will be the point person whom the people who truly run the Treasury, the Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee, chaired by JPM's Matt Zames (who just happens to also now run the notorious JPM Chief Investment Office which uses excess deposits to gamble - yes, you really can't make this up) and Goldman's Ashok Varadhan, global head of dollar-rate products and FX trading for North America (recently buying a $16 million pad at 15 CPW) will demand action from.

 

 

Greek Banks To Merkel: "Please Ma'am, Can We Have Some Moar", Or Here Comes Bailout #4

As loathed as we are to say "we told you so," but we did and sure enough eKathimerini is reporting this evening that: thanks to the 'voluntary' haircuts the Greek banks were force-fed via the latest buyback scheme and the political uncertainty causing non-performing loans (NPLs) to rise (in a magically unknowable way), they will need significantly more 'capital' to plug their increasingly leaky boats. The original Blackrock report from a year did not foresee a rise in NPLs (which Ernst & Young now estimates stands at 24% of all loans) and the buyback dramatically reduces the expected profitability of the banks as it removes critical interest payments that would have been due. Whocouldanode? Well, plenty of people who did not just buy-in blindly to the promise of future hockey-stick returns to growth. Expectations are now for the Greek bank recap to be over EUR30bn.

 

 

The Three Key Charts Before The Launch Of Earnings Season

A total of 22 companies, 4% of the S&P 500 market cap, have reported 4Q12 results. Of these, 64% have topped revenue estimates and 68% topped earnings estimates (considerably lower than average). Aggregate earnings results have exceeded estimates by 1%, revenues have missed by 0.5%, and blended margins are down 12bps y/y. As Barclays' Barry Knapp notes, the last several quarters, earnings seasons have generally been characterized by revenue misses, earnings beats (but by a shrinking amount), and negative guidance; as a result, there has been a negative skew to stock prices. In other words, in the immediate  aftermath of the report, earnings beats are marginally outperforming the market, while misses get hammered, primarily due to weak forward guidance. The sustainability of earnings growth remains key given the weak top-line environment and these three self-explanatory charts should hopefully put some fundamental color around the perspective that earnings season will be a negative for the market overall.

 

 

Guest Post: Inflation Since The American Revolution

As is clear by this chart, inflation was virtually unheard of until the Creature from Jekyll Island (the Federal Reserve) took over.  However, more importantly, things didnt really start to get bad until the 1970?s right after Nixon took the nation off the gold standard in 1971.  Since that time, America has seen a period of non-existent real wage growth and a huge gap grow between the rich and the poor ever since.  Nothing like livin the debt slave dream!

 

 

Equities Stumble As VIX Term Structure Keeps Steepening

S&P 500 futures (ES) ended practically unchanged (though cash was down ~5pts) on relatively weak volume but decent average trade size - thanks in large part to the entirely ubiquitous rampathon into the close. A less-than-8pt range in ES saw the standard larger block sizes come through into the close as we ramped. Stocks were supported by USD weakness (-0.35%) but commodities ignored it (as did Treasuries). The front-end of the VIX term structure was the ramping-weapon choice today once again collapsing to red as S&P 500 futures were driven up to unchanged (and Friday's VWAP). The VIX term-structure has is its steepest in over three months and has steepened its most in 20 months over the past 5 days. HYG (also levered for a ramp) surged once again (to last week's key VWAP) squeezed this afternoon as its short-interest reaches record high levels (as it seems every HY manager is hedging via the ETF since the underlying has become increasingly illiquid) with some big blocks going through. Rates overall oscillated in a narrow +/-2bps range today (not exactly the big rotation) as we suspect, given the chatter of IG issuance this week, that last week's weakness was more rate-locks and hedging (as we have seen time after time) than asset rotations. Overall, today was an equity catch-down day to risk-assets overall.

 

 

The Ten Charts Ignored By Bulls

In addition to our recent discussion of the macro-economic data in the US rolling over, and the epic proportions of net risk-taking longs, Credit Suisse outlines ten further indications that equities might be due for a 'consolidation'. Translating from sell-side research gobbledygook into reality, equity bulls are merely demonstrating the traditional phases of momentum-inspired euphoria in the face of ongoing fundamental contraction (not to mention a decline in consumption and marginal US purchasing power) - and earnings expectations, US fiscal tightening, and a modest rise in deficit-increasing real bond yields will not help.

 

 

Cliff Asness: "Nobody, Left Or Right, Really Thinks The Math Works, No Matter What They Say In Public"

The only way to finance a big European-style state is to have it paid for by massive taxation of everyone, mostly the middle class. Right now, we are avoiding honest debate on this fact. The central issue of our time is the debate over the size and scope of government. Two unpleasant but undeniable mathematical truths limit the feasible policy choices. The first truth is that the current tax rates cannot support the promises made to middle-class Americans. The second truth is that you cannot pay for the Life of Julia, or any vision of a cradle-to-grave welfare state, without massive and increasingly regressive middle-class taxes. Not only that, it's easy to tax middle-class assets and transactions but soaking the rich means taxing investments, and problematically, investments are the lifeblood of economic growth. The choice the country faces is simple. What we cannot have is the Life of Julia at no additional burden to 99 out of 100 of us. The way to boil the frog of freedom is slowly.

 

 

In Case There Was Any Confusion Just Who The Fed Works For...

Today, to little fanfare, the Fed announced a major binding settlement with the banks over robosigning and fraudclosure, which benefited the large banks, impaired the small ones (which is great: room for even more consolidation, and even more TBest-erTF, which benefits America's handful of remaining megabanks), and was nothing but one minor slap on the banking sector's consolidated wrist involving a laughable $3 billion cash payment. As part of the settlement, the US public is expected to ignore how much money the banks actually made in the primary and secondary market over the years courtesy of countless Linda Greens and robosigning abuses. A guess: the "settlement" represents an IRR of some 10,000% to 100,000% for the settling banks. We are confident once the details are ironed out, this will be an accurate range.  Yet what is most disturbing, or not at all, depending on one's level of naivete, is the response of Elijah Cummings, ranking member of the house Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. As a reminder, Congress had demanded that the settlement not be announced before there was a hearing on it. This did not even dent the Fed's plans to proceed with today's 11 am public announcement which can now not be revoked. It is Cummings' response which shows, yet again, just who is the true master of the Federal Reserve.

 

 

 

More Central Bank Gimmicks Exposed As European Collateral Shortage Deteriorates

The epic farce that is the opaque balance sheets of European banks, sovereigns, NCBs, and the ECB, continues to occur under our very eyes. Only when one sniffs below the headlines is the truth exposed with no apology or recognition of 'cheating' anywhere. To wit, following November's farcical over-payment on collateral by the ECB to Spanish banks (that was quietly brushed under the carpet by Draghi et al.), Germany's Die Welt am Sonntag has found that the Bank of France overpaid up to EUR550mm ($720mm) on its short-term paper financing to six French and Italian banks. The reason - incorrect evaluation of the crappy collateral (i.e. the NCB not taking a big enough haircut for risk purposes) on 113 separate occasions. The problem lies in the increasingly poor quality of collateral the CBs are willing to accept (and the illiquidity of the underlying markets) - as higher quality collateral disappears; which leaves the central bankers clearly out of depth when it comes to 'risk management', no matter how many times Draghi tells us this week.

 

 

Revolution Vs "Turboparalysis" - The Real New Normal

More than half a decade has passed since the recession that triggered the financial panic and the Great Recession, but the condition of the world continues to be summed up by what The Spectator's Michael Lind calls turboparalysis - a prolonged condition of furious motion without movement in any particular direction, a situation in which the engine roars and the wheels spin but the vehicle refuses to move. By now one might have expected the emergence of innovative and taboo-breaking schools of thought seeking to account for and respond to the global crisis. But to date there is no insurgent political and intellectual left, nor a new right, for that matter. Why has a global calamity produced so little political change and, at the same time, so little rethinking? Part of the answer, has to do with the collapse of the two-way transmission belt that linked the public to the political elite. But there is a deeper, structural reason for the persistence of turboparalysis. And that has to do with the power and wealth that incumbent elites accumulated during the decades of the global bubble economy. But it is coming...

 

 

Gallup Finds December Consumer Spending... Soared?

Listening to talking heads and certainly to various retail associations, US consumer spending in December was lackluster driven by such traditional scapegoats as "lack of confidence ahead of the Fiscal Cliff", lack of clarity on taxation, fears about what the market may do, etc. And while retailers certainly did report a very mixed sales report for both November and December, it certainly was not due to lack of spending, at least not according to Gallup. Curiously, and rather inexplicably, the polling organization found that in December the average self-reported daily spending in stores, online, and in restaurants rose by a whopping $10 to $83. This was the highest monthly figure Gallup has reported since December 2008. It is also the first reading above the $80 mark since the 2008-2009 recession. But how is that possible? Wasn't the strawman that nobody would spend due to fiscal and tax uncertainty? Apparently not, and this unleashes merely the latest episode of baffle with BS, where data from one source contradicts directly what has been reported from other aggregators of spending data.

 

 

Worst Is First In 2013 As Most-Shorted Names Soar (Again)

From a week after the election, the most-shorted names in the major indices have been the massive outperformers and drivers of this market exuberance (+16.4% versus 8.4% market). That story has not stopped as 2013 has seen the squeeze continue as the year-end strategy of piling into the most-shorted names has worked. From the opening levels on January 2nd (with today seeing even more divergence), the most-shorted Russell 2000 names are dramatically outperforming. It would appear, as Bloomberg notes in its recent article on 2012's most-hated companies' outperformance, that "It's not just hard to be short, it is painful." Of course, they also note one manager's view that "The risk is that if this market rally has been based on short covering and that was all it was, then theres no further money following, the rally is then either dead or not sustainable." Especially with net spec longs at near-record highs, this has unsustainability written all over it.

 

 

 

Banks Put Linda Green Behind Them With $10 Billion Robosigning Settlement

The chapter on robosigning, i.e., Fraudclosure, is now closed with a $10 billion wristslap on US banks, of which a whopping $3.3 billion in the form of direct cash and $5.2 billion in "other assistance." The banks who are now absolved from any and all Linda Green transgressions in the past include: Aurora, Bank of America, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase, MetLife Bank, PNC, Sovereign, SunTrust, U.S. Bank, and Wells Fargo. And so, banks can resume to resell properties with mortgages on which the original lien may or may not have been lost in the sands of time.

 

 

Guest Post: Why Austerity Is Triggering a Crisis

In economies dependent on ever-rising consumption, austerity had a negative connotation even before its politically charged meaning commandeered the public debate. When the entire Status Quo depends on discretionary consumption not just for "growth" but for its survival, austerity is welcomed with approximately the same enthusiasm Superman reserves for Kryptonite. This is of course a contradiction: an economy based not just on consumption of all net income but debt-based consumption is an economy devoid of savings, i.e. capital to invest in productive assets. An economy without capital is lacking a key component of classic capitalism. The loss of resilience and cost sensitivity has consequences. We have created an economy with an extremely high cost-basis, and as a result it is brittle, fragile and vulnerable to even modest "austerity."

 

 

Fannie Says Household Financial Situtation Outlook Slumps To Worst Since August 2011

Fannie was already in the news this morning courtesy of the $10 billion settlement announced between the GSE and Bank of America. Let's make it two in a row courtesy of the firm's monthly housing survey in which one aspect, the ongoing expectation that home prices will continue to rise driven by the recent momentum, should come as no surprise: there is always hope that this dead cat bounce is different and unlike the previous three, and will result in something substantial. It won't, once all those millions of properties held on bank books and generating zero cash flow (remember: BAC's 6+ month delinquent mortgages now amount to a whopping $64 billion) are unleashed on the market once the subsidized housing price is perceived as sufficient by most as a new, and satisfactory, clearing price. What was surprising was the consumer outlook on the economy and personal finances, which was diametrically opposite, and in fact those who expect that their personal financial situation will get worse in the next 12 months rose to the highest since August 2011.

BofA Settles With Fannie Mae Over Reps And Warranties For $10 Billion, To Incur $2.7 Billion Pretax Hit

As had been widely expected, days before a National Mortgage/Foreclosure settlement is formally announced, the most exposed banks have started tying up the loose ends with the other nationalized entities. Sure enough, moments ago Bank of America just announced a $10 billion settlement with one of the GSEs - Fannie, whose CEO Tim Mayopoulous was BofA's former General Counsel and one of the people scapegoated by Ken Lewis. As just reported, as part of the agreement to settle representations and warranties claims, Bank of America will make a cash payment to Fannie Mae of $3.6 billion and also repurchase for $6.75 billion certain residential mortgage loans sold to Fannie Mae, which Bank of America has valued at less than the purchase price. These actions are expected to be covered by existing reserves and an additional $2.5 billion (pretax) in representations and warranties provision recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012. Bank of America also agreed to make a cash payment to Fannie Mae to settle substantially all of Fannie Maes outstanding and future claims for compensatory fees arising out of past foreclosure delays. This payment is expected to be covered by existing reserves and an additional provision of $260 million (pretax) recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012. Bottom line: hit to Q4 pretax earnings will be $2.7 billion. Yet, as BAC notes, despite the settlement, "Bank of America expects earnings per share to be modestly positive for the fourth quarter of 2012." Which means prepare for one whopper of a loan-loss reserve release for the quarter as more "earnings" are nothing but bookkeeping gimmicks.

Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  TRILLION DOLLAR COIN TO WIPE OUT U.S. DEBT  1-4-13  The Employment situation was relatively unchanged (155K jobs vs 155K expected & prior 148K) while the unemployment rate inched higher (7.8% vs 7.8% expected & prior 7.7%) The underemployment data showed conditions still at 63.6% or 14.4% that isnt good frankly. Secretary of Labor Linda Solis expounded on the data by spinning, “…we created jobs by paying people not to work. This is the kind of Orwellian talk we get from unqualified PC political appointments. (The CNBC interview is here but youll have to get beyond 3:00 minutes to catch this.)  Some thought an unremarkable employment report had a goldilocks feature to it meaning simply even tepid news was good since it wouldnt stimulate the Fed to back-off current policies.But there was some good news from ISM Services which jumped (56.1 vs 54.5 expected & prior 54.7). Perhaps this was seasonal hiring and post-Sandy activity. On the other hand Factory Orders fell (0% vs .3% expected & prior .8%).Pimcos Bill Gross wrote in his monthly letter his gripe about the Feds free money printing policies. And speaking of the Fed, St Louis Fed President James Bullard suggested the Fed might end QE in 2013. And some more desperate commentators are promoting trillion dollar coins (platinum the current choice) to wipe out our debt. Its quite amusing but liberal blogs are seriously promoting it.So Fridays news was Fed-centric as stock prices continued to hold and add to the recent rally. The dollar (UUP) rally continued but then eased late allowing gold (GLD) to recapture early losses. Commodity prices (DBC) were lower overall. Bonds (TLT) managed to eke-out a small price gain but suffered on the week with stocks rising and QE uncertainty.Stocks were led higher once again by financials (XLF) and materials (XLB). Financials were pushed higher by Goldman Sachs positive calls for Citigroup (C) and with materials hopes for a good report from Alcoa (AA) on Tuesday. Tech (QQQ) shares underperformed as Apple (AAPL) dropped nearly 2.5% while Microsoft (MSFT) also saw losses. So rotation within the markets to long neglected sectors from technology seems the order to start 2013. At the same time earnings for both tech and financials have been reduced by 10% by S&P Dow Jones Indices.Its still hard to imagine with taxes hitting 77% of the population combined with what should be an ugly debt ceiling fight the economy and markets would do well. But, whos to argue with the tape now? Volume overall was ultra-light once again but then they dont put this data on your brokerage statement. Breadth per the WSJ was positive…’

Dear SEC, This Is HFT "Cheating" At Its Most Obvious. Regards, Everyone Else

While prosecuting the wrongdoers is clearly not part of the new normal (see Sokol et al.), what Nanex found this morning beggars belief - both in its method of manipulation and clarity that our regulators are clueless. As they note, the high frequency traders (HFT) are at it again. Contorting the spirit of the rules, because those who wrote the rules aren't technically savvy. On January 4, 2013, we found another instance of HFT morphing their manipulative and illegal quote stuffing strategy in an effort to fly under the radar. Why they don't just stop this manipulative practice altogether tells us a few things. First, this isn't some coding error, this is sophisticated cheating. And second, because they are spending valuable programming time on this strategy, there must be some real economic advantage. Which mean a disadvantage to everyone trading against them.

 

 

Did Markets Or Manipulations "Save The World" In 2012?

Central Planners are trying with all their might to force people into behaviors and financial assets that are in direct contrast to their logic as well as long term financial well being.  This is the height of immorality, not to mention hubris.

In general [traders/economists] are trained to analyze the economic data, balance sheets and so on. Theyre not trained to predict political decisions. These factors have ruled the lives of fund managers in a more significant manner than what used to be over the past 20 or 30 years.

The paragraph above pretty much sums it up.  There are no markets, there are manipulations.

 

 

How Fiat Currency Leads To 'Collective Corruption'

Ex-Barclays chief 'Austrian' economist Thorsten Polleit provides a few clarifying thoughts on the hyperinflatory endgame (and democracy-crushing impact) of the fiat currency environment. Critically, Polleit notes that fiat currency tends to result in "collective corruption" in societies, and how this then leads to hyperinflation, despite the dangers to society that hyperinflation always brings. Ring some bells? This brief interview (with more detailed article below) stretches from the development of the global fiat currency regimes over the last 40 years to the increasing levels of debt that may (just as Kyle Bass and others have noted) mark the terminal decline of the fiat regime and the self-serving majority electing themselves into a vicious circle. Mises noted:

"The masses... do not conceive any ideas, sound or unsound. They only choose between the ideologies developed by the intellectual leaders of mankind. But their choice is final and determines the course of events. If they prefer bad doctrines, nothing can prevent disaster." If these "uncommon men" become "court intellectuals," the door will be opened for effectively spreading of false theories, supporting government-friendly ideas."

Two weeks ago, when we commented on the biggest farce in financial thinking at the time (promptly replaced by the even more lunatic platinum coin "idea"), namely that one of the main "spending cut" proposals of the Obama administration, one amounting to $290 billion, was the assertion that the US will save hundreds of billions because, get this, interest rates are now lower than they were before. We commented as follows: "this is where one's Excel refs out, because the interest payment on Treasurys, at least in a non-banana republic, one set to see 120 debt/GDP in 3-4 years, is a function of fiscal decisions (central-planning notwithstanding), and to make the idiotic assumption that one can control interest rates for 10 years (central-planning notwithstanding), just shows what a total farce this whole exercise has become, and also shows that nobody in the administration, or the GOP for that matter, has even modeled out the resultant budget pro forma for the proposed tax hikes and budget "savings" as that would blow up said excel model immediately." We now learn that one other entity that did not fully model out the last minute Fiscal Cliff deus ex, and especially not the recursive debt relationship in a country where half the government spending is funded by debt, is the always amusing CBO (whose epic prediction failure rate has been discussed here on numerous occasions). It appears that they just did, after the close, on Friday. The outcome? Their initial estimate of a $4.0 trillion budget increase was wrong and when one factors in the fact that this incremental spending would have to be funded by, you guessed it, debt, debt which has interest, the full impact of the Obama tax cut rises deficits by 15% to $4.6 trillion over the next decade.

Oops.

 

 

Why December's Front-Loaded Gain Will Be January's Pain: Biderman Explains

Wondering where the somewhat out-of-character economic improvements of Q4 2012 data came from - given Sandy and the fiscal cliff uncertainty? Wonder no longer. Charles Biderman, CEO of TrimTabs, has done the data-mining and explains, quite succinctly in this clarifying clip, just what happened in Q4 2012. To wit, after-tax income saw a somewhat impressive (but "don't get too excited" he adds) post-election spike as individuals (and small businesses) front-ran expectations of tax-rises in 2013 by pulling forward income and bonuses etc. into 2012. Q4 income rose by over 6% YoY, which , he believes means Q1 2013 income will be correspondingly lower. Following an epic rant/exposition of the higher taxes US citizens will be paying, Biderman batters GDP (and the government's infinite idiocy) instead focusing on the real recession of lower after-tax take-home-pay and expects Q1 to see the US plunge with the "US economy starting out the new year on its butt!" Then, as a bonus, he destroys the nonsense myth that the US housing recovery is leading us forward.

 

 

Vol Dumped; Stocks Pumped; Treasuries... Jumped?

S&P 500 futures lurched in a vol-driven mania above their implicit QE3 highs (stop-run) and yay verily there was much rejoicing as cash S&P 500 reached closing levels not seen since December 2007. The only trouble with all this jubilation - Treasuries rallied all day (so no 'Great Rotation'), high-yield credit was having none of it, and AAPL positively hated it (though financials had their best week since the stress tests in March). Average trade size surged as did volume into these highs and as we noted before, the VIX term-structure is now at its steepest in 5 months - as hedgers shift their positions out past the debt-ceiling deadline (and implicitly crush short-term vol spurring the rally further). But, into the close, S&P 500 futures were decidedly skittish as it appeared we ran out of greater fools for a few seconds at the close (via @nanexllc $1.1B worth of $SPY and 25,000 eMinis in last few seconds). Equities pulled away from the rest of risk-assets in the last 30-minute ramp closing the week right at the QE3-day highs, with the USD +1% on the week.

 

 

FleeceBook: Meet Michael Cross, Head Of FX And "Market Intelligence" At The Bank Of England

Last week we introduced our readers to the BIS' Head of Foreign Exchange and Gold, Benoit Gilson. As this week's induction into the FleeceBook hall of fame of faceless individuals behind the scenes whose fingers are on all the relevant buttons, we present to you Michael Cross, Head of Foreign Exchange, and Executive Director for Markets, at the Bank of England, a role which with the arrival of the BoE's new Goldman leader will become quite crucial in the coming weeks as the race to debase finally crosses the English Channel and it is cable's turn to crash and burn against all other currencies.

 

 

Vol Curve Mangling Continues As March Debt Ceiling "Drop Dead" Day Looms

We explicitly noted that the purchase of vol steepeners across the debt-ceiling deadlines was the short-term trade as soon as the ATRA deal was approved. In the brief period since, the VIX term-structure has smashed from its flattest (most inverted) in 2 months to its steepest now in 5 months as hedgers roll out to March and beyond. Of course, all algos know is that they can lever VXX (and other synthetics) in the short-term to ramp equities higher - and sure enough the S&P 500 just hit highs above the highest close since December 2007.

Guest Post: The Greeks Have Already Dumped the Euro

We first noted the shift to a barter economy that is occuring in Greece back in April. But Mike's excellent update below shows that this 'barter' has progressed to a new 'alternative' currency. The city of Volos, 200 miles north of Athens with a population of 170,000 is highlighted in the article due to the size of its alternative money market centered around a local currency call the Tem.  This sort of behavior will be the wave of the future in all countries, as Central Bank currencies are debased into extinction (and it's happening in the US already).

 

 

Putting A Trillion Dollars Of Platinum In Perspective

So you want a trillion dollar platinum coin? Ok: here are some facts...

 

Liesman: "The Fed Gets To Print Dollars"; Bullard: "Indeed We Do"

Fed mouthpieces Bullard and Lacker are out in force this morning talking the market back from the edge of yesterday's FOMC Minutes and reassuring us that the economy is going to be weak enough for a lot longer to justify the Fed's actions. However, right at the end of Jim Bullard's interview with CNBC's Steve Liesman, we got a glimpse of the reality behind the curtain as the St. Louis Fed president threw Bernanke under the purge-ry perjury bus... Following a discussion of fiscal policy uncertainty and the need to carefully spend what money we have, Liesman jokingly commented to Bullard that it is "Easy for you to say, you have a lot of dollars to spend; you get to print them!" To which the now foot-in-mouth Bullard replied, "Aaahh; indeed we do." This seems a little different from what Bernanke previously told Congress.

 

 

 

Hilda Solis: Paying People Not To Work Saved Millions Of Jobs

Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis made her ubiquitous post-NFP appearance on CNBC this morning and spouted the usual propaganda. However, while discussing how wonderful the ATRA was, the seemingly slap-happy Solis noted how great the fact that emergency unemployment benefits were extended for millions of people was - and that thanks to that (and the magic of the Keynesian multiplier), millions of jobs were saved. So, to sum up, paying people not to work, saved millions and millions of jobs? Indeed America, indeed.

 

 

Guest Post: Anti-Gun Newspaper Hires Armed Guards Reveals Its Own Hypocrisy

Sometimes I just have to smile when faced with anti-gun propagandists, regardless of the vicious statements they make, because I know from years of past experience in this debate that because of their deep rooted hypocrisy, they will inevitably make my pro-gun case for me.  All I have to do is sit back and wait for them to contradict themselves. The gun grabber personality is interminably flawed, but it could be summarized thus: They believe the whole of society should cater to their personal concerns.  That we should give up our rights just to make them feel safer.  And, that they are somehow a step above the rest of us, and do not need to practice what they preach.  My question is, why should we go out of our way to please such weaklings and frauds?  I have yet to hear a good reason...

 

 

 

155,000 Jobs Added in December, Unemployment Rate 7.8%

A surprisingly uneventful report, as BLS reports that 155,000 Jobs were added in December, right on top of the 156,000 expected, and in line with the number needed to keep up with the growth in the population, or at least the Old Normal growth. The unemployment rate was 7.8%, vs the 7.7% expected: who else is surprised that the rate is now rising with Obama reelected and when a lower unemployment rate means an earlier end to QE4EVA? The November unemployment rate was revised from 7.7% to 7.8%, just so headlines can proclaim the rate was unchanged, even though it was fractions away from a 7.9% print, compared to November initial 7.7%. According to the Household survey a materially less, or 28,000 jobs were added even as the number of unemployed rose by 164K. Average hourly earnings for all employees rose 0.3% in December from November, compared to the 0.2% expected. The confusion continues as the BLS reports retail jobs were mysteriously down by 19,000 even as every retailer announced it was hiring the kitchen sink, while manufacturing jobs supposedly rose by 25,000 while the ADP report reported 6 months of reductions in a row. Construction jobs increased by 30,000. The Underemployment rate, U-6, remains steady at 14.5%. ADP, which will certainly be revised lower now, remains a farce.

1-04-13 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  FED MINUTES DISRUPT PARTY PUNCHBOWL  1-3-13  All things must come to an end. Fed Minutes today revealed more division among voting members about when to end QE. This unsettled the market rally and it needed some consolidation anyway as enthusiasm for the FC deal was perhaps too much given what on second thought wasnt a great outcome.News Thursday revealed ADP Employment Data job gains (215K vs 150K expected & prior revised to 148K) which are the most volatile and least reliable of the labor group. It may include seasonal hiring for holiday sales and so forth. Jobless Claims were much weaker (372K vs 363K expected & prior revised higher to 362 from 350K holiday guesstimate).Overseas news featured the China PMI services (56.1 vs 55.6 previous) which are an improvement certainly but still running below their historical average.U.S. stocks pushed slightly higher early only to fall with Fed Minutes dissension revelations. All things considered, equity price drops were modest overall as those buying-in Wednesday rushed to protect new found long positions.The dollar (UUP) rallied once again which generally isnt bullish. Gold (GLD) continued to drop accordingly while commodity prices (DBC) overall fell. Bonds (TLT) were quite weak.  Lets not forget the important Employment Report Friday with estimates of 155K new jobs expected and the unemployment rate at 7.8% as many people drop off the rolls. Also there will be plenty of Fed chatter from Governors Plosser, Yellen and Bullard. Volume was light with most coming post Fed Minutes release. Breadth per the WSJ was mixed to slightly positive…’

From Myth To Reality With David Rosenberg

After the worst post-Christmas market performance since 1937, we had the largest surge to kick off any year in recorded history

The myth is that we are now seeing the clouds part to the extent that cash will be put to work. Not so fast It is very likely that much of the market advance has been short-covering and some abatement in selling activity

As equities now retest the cycle highs, it would be folly to believe that we will not experience recurring setbacks and heightened volatility along the way

The reality is that the tough choices and the tough bargaining have been left to the next Congress and are about to be sworn in

The myth is that the economy escaped a bullet here. The reality is that even with the proverbial "cliff" having been avoided, the impact of the legislation is going to extract at least a 11/2 percentage point bite out of GDP growth

 

 

Spot The Oddest After Hours Market (So Far)

FX markets and precious metals are continuing to trade weaker after hours along with Treasury yields (in some very gappy and unhappy ways) - but the S&P 500 futures are flatlining for now (as NKY futures push higher - merely playing catch up to ES since New Year's Eve). Odder and odderer...

 

 

Retail Sales Confirm "You Can't Spend What You Don't Have"

Despite all the rancor about seasonally-adjusted ad hoc beats of holiday week retail sales (amid burgeoning discounts), the trend (post the Hurricane Sandy-driven surge) in GAFO (General Merchandise, Apparel and Accessories, Furniture and Other Sales) retail sales is most explicitly lower. As Bloomberg Brief notes, consumer incomes are in a fragile state and between the ATRA deal and a 'stable' at best unemployment picture, it seems that the YoY change in retail sales is indicating per capita disposable income is set to decline further. As Rich Yamarone concludes: it appears "You can't spend what you don't have." It seems 'tax-the-rich' is also misfiring as those making over $90k per year report recent spending at its lowest for this time of year since 2008.

 

 

The "Mathematical Equation" Of Asset Bubbles

 

 

Guest Post: America's Bubble Dependent Economy

The chart below illustrates why the U.S. economy is so dependent on the wealth effect generated by asset bubbles.   Its stunning to think that average real earnings in the U.S. are almost 11 percent lower than where they were in 1973. Policymakers focus should be on increasing worker productivity through: 1) reforming the countrys education system;  2) unleashing entrepreneurship;  and 3) in the words of ECB chief, Mario Draghi, doing whatever it takes to empower small businesses. But, this is tough political business, however, so we take the easy way out.   The political pandering increases budget deficits, forcing the Fed to repress interest rates and print money to drive up asset prices.   The boom side of the cycle is sustained longer than most expect because of the reserve currency status of the dollar.  This temporarily generates artificially inflated demand (i.e, fake) through the wealth effect, which eventually collapses when asset markets crash. This is not a good long term economic strategy and sustainable path for permanent wealth creation

 

 

 

Spain Plunders 90% Of Social Security Fund To Buy Its Own Debt

With Spanish 10Y yields hovering at a 'relatively' healthy 5%, having been driven inexorably lower on the promise of ECB assistance at some time in the future, the market has become increasingly unsure of just who it is that keeps bidding for this stuff. Well, wonder no longer. As the WSJ notes, Spain has been quietly tapping the country's richest piggy bank, the Social Security Reserve Fund, as a buyer of last resort for Spanish government bonds - with at least 90% of the €65 billion ($85.7 billion) fund has been invested in increasingly risky Spanish debt. Of course, this is nothing new, the US (and the Irish) have been using quasi-government entities to fund themselves in a mutually-destructive circle-jerk for years - the only difference being there are other buyers in the Treasury market, whereas in Spain the marginal buyer is critical to support the sinking ship. The Spanish defend the use of pension funds to buy bonds as sustainable as long as it can issue bonds - and yet the only way it can actually get the bonds off in the public markets is through using the pension fund assets. The pensioners sum it up perfectly "We are very worried about this, we just don't know who's going to pay for the pensions of those who are younger now," or those who are older we would add.

 

 

 

FOMC Minutes Released: Dissension To QE4EVA Growing

While some were concerned at the Fed's new quantitative targets as suggesting early tightening, it appears (from the FOMC Minutes) that those fears were somewhat warranted (with most seeing QE ending in 2013):

*FED SAYS A FEW ON FOMC WANTED QE UNTIL ABOUT THE END OF 2013

*FED: SEVERAL ON FOMC BACKED QE HALT OR CUT WELL BEFORE 2013 END

*ALMOST ALL FOMC MEMBERS SAW POTENTIAL QE COSTS AS INCREASING

The punchline: "several" means more than just QE4 hater Jeff Lacker are turning hawkish. Though, even with the risks, they want moar. Pre-FOMC Minutes: ES 1460, 10Y 1.86%, EUR 1.3108, Gold $1674. Post: ES -6pts, 10Y +5bps, EUR -40 pips, Gold -$10.

Initial Claims Misses By Most Since Sandy, Reverts To 2012 Average

It would seem initial claims can be summed for 2012 in one word, 'average'. This last print of 2012 was almost perfectly at 2012's average of 372, the biggest miss since the first week of November and the Sandy disturbance. Notably, last week's print was revised higher (after 19 states failed to report and were 'guessed at) by 12k jobs to 362k having now risen for 3 weeks in a row (on a seasonally adjusted basis). When we scratch below the surface at non-seasonally-adjusted the numbers are much more concerning than a rampaging equity market would care to note, NSA initial claims rose 40,459 to 495,588 on the week. Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania saw the biggest rises in claims while California dominated the drop in claims (by state) down 11,789. 73k Americans lost Extended Unemployment Benefits in the week ended December 15th.

 

 

ADP Private Payrolls Spike To 215K, Above Expectations On Spike In Construction Jobs - Now With Infographic

Yet another headscratcher in the endless litany of Baffle with BS data, this time from the ADP Private Payrolls report, traditionally a laughing stock when it comes to its NFP forecasting powers (we will spare readers the correlation scatterplot which shows a 0 correlation), which not only revised its November print from 118K to 148K (just so it mysteriously coincides with the November NFP number of 146K), but saw the December private jobs number surge to 215K on expectations of a 140K print. The primary reason for the spike, a +39K surge in construction jobs, supposedly in the aftermath of Sandy, as well as some +53 job additions in trade, transportation and utilities. Also, how ADP gets +14K financial jobs in the peak financial layoffs month (to avoid year end bonuses of course), is anyone's guess. And while we should worry about that unemployment rate rapidly approaching the 6.5% Bernanke QE4EVA threshold end (don't worry, tomorrow we will find that the labor participation rate mysteriously has started to grow again to actually push the unemployment rate higher now that the Obama re-election is no longer an issue), we definitely should not worry about America's manufacturing renaissance, as the country lost yet another 11,000 manufacturing jobs - the 6th month in a row with mfg job declines (sorry Ohio, better luck next time).

 

 

Bill Gross On Bernanke's Latest Helicopter Flyover, "Money For Nothing, Debt For Free" And The End Of Ponzi Schemes

Back in April 2012, in "How The Fed's Visible Hand Is Forcing Corporate Cash Mismanagement" we first explained how despite its best intentions (to boost the Russell 2000 to new all time highs, a goal it achieved), the Fed's now constant intervention in capital markets has achieved one thing when it comes to the real economy: an unprecedented capital mismanagemenet, where as a result of ZIRP, corporate executives will always opt for short-term, low IRR, myopic cash allocation decisions such as dividend, buyback and, sometimes, M&A, seeking to satisfy shareholders and ignoring real long-term growth opportunities such as R&D spending, efficiency improvements, capital reinvestment, retention and hiring of employees, and generally all those things that determine success for anyone whose investment horizon is longer than the nearest lockup gate. Today, one calendar year later, none other than Bill Gross, in his first investment letter of 2013, admits we were correct: "Zero-bound interest rates, QE maneuvering, and essentially costless check writing destroy financial business models and stunt investment decisions which offer increasingly lower ROIs and ROEs. Purchases of paper shares as opposed to investments in tangible productive investment assets become the likely preferred corporate choice." It is this that should be the focus of economists, and not what the level of the S&P is, as it is no longer indicative of any underlying market fundamentals, but merely how large, in nominal terms, the global balance sheet is. And as long as the impact of peak central-planning on "business models" is ignored, there can be no hope of economic stabilization, let alone improvement. All this and much more, especially his admissions that yes, it is flow, and not stock, that dominates the Fed market impact (think great white shark - must always be moving), if not calculus, in Bill Gross' latest letter.

1-02-13 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  BULLISH EXUBERANCE GRIPS BULLS TO CATCH-UP 1-2-13 I wont be one to yell at the tape since we are systematic trend-followers. But markets arent doing anything modestly. We get past one cliff only to face another next monththe super cliff (debt ceiling), hereinafter dubbed SC. Bulls are basically saying; Okay, we have time to prop things before SC. You might recall the last SC deal was in the summer of 2011 and markets struggled mightily.Unfortunately for us enough technical damage had been done the past two weeks that trends became uncertain. Now bulls are playing catch-up with large news-driven price ramps. Actually there was a confluence of events as the Fed had (and still is) added plenty of liquidity to markets thru QE which accumulated while the fiscal cliff issue froze investments. Further large dividends from before year-end needed to be reinvested. This stash along with what passed for a cliff fix led to the action seen Wednesday.Nothing is really fixed of course since a large tax increase is hitting the economy at a poor time. The payroll tax cut will shrink 77% of Americans income which will hit the so-called middle class. I believe this doesnt include higher taxes for Obamacare now either. We did get the tax issue resolved but spending cuts didnt take place in any meaningful way. In fact, the CBO scored the cliff tax fix as adding $4 trillion to the deficit over the next 10 yearssome fix eh? Plus the president indicated there will be no spending cuts without even more tax increases. So much for the Clinton era mantra: The Era of Big Government is Over. Economic data released today included: PMI (54 vs 54.2 expected & prior 52.8); ISM Mfg Survey rose (50.7 vs 50.5 expected & prior 49.5); and, Construction Spending fell (-.3% vs .8% expected & prior 1.4%). Stocks soared with a large opening gap higher with gains across the board. The dollar (UUP) weaker early rallied some intraday; bonds (IEF) fell as stocks rose; commodities (DBC) rose modestly; and, gold (GLD) prices also rose modestly.Earnings remain in focus soon. Its interesting that so many estimates have been undone previously and future estimates have yet to be revised lower as per the following chart.

Replaying Chris Christie's Epic Anti-Boehner Meltdown

http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       
http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm      http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm   Earlier today, in what can only be summarized as an epic meltdown, NJ governor Chris Christie proceeded with an even more epic rant against House speaker John Boehner, in narrow terms, and House Republicans in broader, for killing the $60 billion Sandy Assistance bill, whose funding would have offset one full year of the just legislated tax hikes on the rich which would add $62 billion annually to the Treasury (or alternatively would have been unfundable for the next 2 months while the US struggles to pay its mandatory bills courtesy of having breached the debt ceiling). Alternatively, all Americans could just agree to accept less welfare and entitlement benefits to show their solidarity for New Jersey and fund the recovery of the Tristate area by a "shared sacrifice" instead of going the default route and demanding even more deficit spending - something that would naturally saddle the next generation with even more pain, not the current, far more entitled one - but in this country that is an absolutely ludicrous proposition. Below is a clip of the entire Christie performance which is a must see for sheer indignation entertainment value alone.

 

 

Fiscal Cliff Loose Ends

The fiscal cliff deal appears to be a done deal and markets have reacted accordingly (although President Obama is apparently awaiting a photo-op later today to sign it). However, the deal leaves a large number of loose ends that ensure high drama for the next two months on the US fiscal front. The immediate impact of all the loose ends and deadlines may be smaller than the Dec 31 fiscal cliff, but all of these loose ends are important and could lead to short-term price action. Several of them are very important for the long run USD outlook as well.

 

 

Why Did A Train Carrying Biofuel Cross The Border 24 Times And Never Unload?

Wondering why rail traffic has been somewhat surprisingly consistent despite uncertainty? Concerned at government's tenticular reach into each and every aspect of our lives? This somewhat stunning anecdotal report from OilPrice.com might shed some light:

A cargo train filled with biofuels crossed the border between the US and Canada 24 times between the 15th of June and the 28th of June 2010; not once did it unload its cargo, yet it still earned millions of dollars... The companies made several million dollars importing and exporting the fuel to exploit a loophole in a U.S. green energy program. Each time the loaded train crossed the border the cargo earned its owner a certain amount of Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs), which were awarded by the US EPA to promote and track production and importation of renewable fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel.

We suggest this is merely yet another unintended consequence (just as we noted here) and perverted incentive of central planning and an all encroaching government.

 

 

Russell Closes At All Time High As VIX Has Biggest Two Day Drop Ever

Update 2: MLNX down 22%. Earnings, and cash flows, matter. And now, time to ramp some other stock only to see it implode when it announces earnings or guides down.

Update: MLNX, a $2.6 billion market cap company, was up 3% today before being halted after hours and crushing guidance by preannouncing horrible revenues. Expect many other S&P 500 companies to be forced to do the same now that their market value, driven almost exclusively by "someone's" ceaseless selling of VIX futures and by correlation engines which assume every company has to rise (and sometimes even fall) by the same amount as the biggest synthetic indicator, the E-Mini, is so disconnected from any cash-flow reality, that only the Fed can possibly assume there is fair value for the stock market at current levels.

The drop in VIX in the last two days is the biggest percentage drop on record (based on Bloomberg's data) as the S&P 500 futures (ES) have managed a 70-point rally. The exuberance at today's open ebbed through the middle of the day but then resurged into the close as the day-session range was actually quite narrow (sub-10pts). High-yield credit surged (leading the way) coupled with VXX (huge odd volume spike) as pain trades were everywhere. FX markets were decidedly unimpressed even as Treasuries tracked along with stocks for most of the day (though lagged the late-day surge as 10Y yields stalled out at the 12/187 highs). Commodities held on to gains even as the USD turned positive on the week. On the bright side, all those who have been invested in the S&P since March 2000 can exit at (nominal) breakeven and all it took was a 400% increase in the size of the Fed's balance sheet. This feels very delicate and all anchored on a massive protection unwind (as volumes and blocks were dumped into the late-day ripfest).

 

 

Total Debt: $16,432,730,050,569.12; Debt To GDP: 103%

We already knew that the US crossed the debt ceiling on New Year's day. It is, however, one thing to read a Geithner press release, it is another to see America's ridiculous debt it in action. So here it is, courtesy of TreasuryDirect, in all its debt ceiling glory: $16,432,730,050,569.12, with the debt subject to the ceiling at the limit of $16.394 trillion.

 

And with that we can close the books on the first quarter of Fiscal 2013, in which US public debt grew by $366 billion, some $122 billion per month on average.

Happy New Year Germany: Greece Needs A New Bailout

When it comes to the main sovereign story of 2011 and 2012, namely the endless bailout of Greece, now in its third iteration, the conventional wisdom is that courtesy of the near elimination of the country's private sovereign debt and the fact that its official foreign debt held by benevolent taxpayer funded globalist powers (IMF, ECB, EFSF) has been mostly converted into a zero-coupon, perpetual piece of paper, the country is fine. After all it has no debt interest expense to finance, and the only shortfall it has to plug is that created by its primary budget deficit (which as we showed earlier is "improving" on a year over year basis not because the economy is improving, but because the Greek government is simply refusing to pay its bills). So there is nothing more to do but sit back and wait while the economy slowly recovers, the unprecedented internal imbalance with Germany is gradually aligned, are the unemployment rate drops, (while hoping that the population does not die out first) right? Wrong.   Moments ago Kathimerini reported that in 2012, the amount of non-performing loans has exploded by a laughable amount, rising some 50% from December 2011, when it was "only" 16% and stood at 24% last month. And therein lies the rub, because as Kathiermini prudently notes, the "bad loans come to a considerable 55 billion euros. This means that the sum of NPLs already exceeds the total funds set aside for the recapitalization of the local credit system, which amounts to 50 billion."

Oops.

 

 

The 96 Charts That Have To Be Seen To Believed For 2013

In many respects, 2012 was a year of waiting: waiting for a path forward on the European debt crisis; waiting for the results of a polarizing U.S. election; waiting for the Chinese leadership transition; waiting for a resolution to the U.S. fiscal cliff issues; waiting for the Middle East to find peace; waiting for a clear path to global growth; and therefore, waiting to invest additional assets in the markets (or not, as the case may be). In this 2013 Outlook, Michael Cembalest, JPMorgan Asset Management's Chairman of Market and Investment Strategy, provides a comprehensive summary of the global factors at play, with a tone of optimism grounded in realism. Perhaps just what we need after the surreality of the last two days.

Guest Post: Mother, Should I Trust The Government?  { Short answer: NO! }

In part one of this two part series Hey You we examined how an invisible government of wealthy, power hungry men have utilized the propaganda techniques of Edward Bernays and lured the American people into a narcissistic, techno-gadget, debt based servitude. Over the last one hundred years they have created a totalitarian state built upon egotism, material goods, and fulfilling our desires through Wall Street peddled debt and mass consumerism. It has been an incredibly effective form of control that has convinced the masses to love their servitude. The lyrics to Pink Floyd's 'Mother' had both a literal and figurative meaning for Roger Waters. Having seen his Wall Tour performance this past summer at Citizens Bank Park with a diverse crowd of 40,000, ranging in age from senior citizens to teenagers, it seems this song has gained new meaning. He sang a duet with himself from 1980 projected on the Wall and when he sang the lyric, Mother, should I trust the government? the entire stadium responded in unison NO!!! This revealed a truth that is not permitted to be discussed by the corporate mainstream media acting as a mouthpiece for the ruling class. A growing legion of citizens in this country does not trust the government. This is very perceptive on their part.

 

 

Don't Show Bernanke This Chart Of Gold Loans In India

One of the Fed Chairman's most memorable lines in recent history is that "gold is not money... it is tradition." Perhaps he was merely listening to the Fed's computers, Ferbus, Edo and Sigma, which we now know form the backbone of US central planning and whose DSGE model output is usually spot on until it happens to be catastrophically wrong, on the issue. Or perhaps that is merely what one is taught (and teaches) in the Princeton economics department. Whatever the reason for Bernanke's belief, don't show him this chart from a just released "Report of the Working Group to Study the Issues Related to Gold Imports and Gold Loans by NBFCs" in India, part of a coordinated campaign to minimize Indian gold demand and imports whose direct substitution to "(un)sound money" in the country is one of the reason being attributed for the nation's high current account deficit (as reported earlier) and why the finance minister said "demand for gold must be moderated." The chart shows the staggering eightfold increase in India's gold loans "which monetize the idle gold in the country", in just four short years. In short it proves that in India, gold is the only real money, and is the only fallback option in a country where inflation is still rampant, and where even simple peasants prefer to keep their wealth not in the local paper currency, which has been losing its value aggressively in recent years, but in the shiny metal. Must be "tradition."

 

 

"Fair And Balanced"... And Benefiting Just 20% Of Americans

In 28 seconds, Bloomberg TV's Scarlet Fu explains who really benefits from the 'deal' and Bernanke's ongoing 'wealth effect' policy. Simply put, taxes on 77% of Americans go up... and 20% benefit. "Fair-and-balanced" indeed. Blackrock's Larry Fink summed it all up nicely: "The American People are the Big Losers In The Cliff Deal"

 

 

Guest Post: Game Theory And The Unfixable Fiscal Situation

The recent fiscal cliff negotiations were almost a textbook case of the game theory's Prisoner's Dilemma... resulting in the same sub-optimal outcome. All the posturing and political strutting were more about trying to obtain personal advantage over the other players, not actually fixing anything. The fiscal cliff, in fact, stopped being about the US economy a long, long time ago. The uncomfortable truth that nobody in officialdom wants to admit (save outgoing Congressman Ron Paul) is that the fiscal situation is unfixable. Meanwhile, the debt ceiling has already been breached, and the Obama administration is scurrying to seize federal pensions as a temporary fix. Seriously, how long will it be before they start seizing private pensions, IRAs, etc.? How long before mutual funds and banks are required to hold a percentage of their assets in the 'safety and security' of US Treasuries? How long until everyone is involuntarily financing Uncle Sam?

US To Officially Go Over The Fiscal Cliff

As we forecast back in November, it is now official that the House will not vote on any deal out of the Senate, assuming there is one which there won't be of course, later today, which means America will officially slide off the Fiscal Cliff. And now cue everyone being very hopeful and optimistic a deal will get done momentarily, if not sooner, in 2013. Of course, we all know just how far optimism takes America's dysfunctional Congress. The biggest irony in all of this is that the only winners today were the much hated "1%"-ers, whose taxes may or may not go up, who just got to book major year end profits on this last minute ramp. The remainder of America's population can quietly look forward to 2013 with "hope" and "optimism" that in 2013 Congress will finally stop being dysfunctional. Good luck. Oh, and before we forget, America just breached its debt ceiling: now the pillaging of various government retirement funds begins.

 

 

3% Market Ramp... On No Deal, And On Debt Ceiling Breach

S&P 500 futures staged a 3% rally off their overnight lows - taking them back to 3-day highs as  headline after headline triggered another round of stop-runs. VIX compression led the way as hedges were pushed off to March and higher levels enabled better exits above Friday's plunge VWAP levels. The year ends with the Dow beating Gold for the first time in nine years (just). The USD fell 0.5% on the year (and the JPY -12.8%!!). European stocks beat US stocks (EuroStoxx50 almost doubling the Dow's performance). US Treasuries and US stocks both rallied. Financials gained 26% on the year. The Treasury curve flattened with the front-end selling off modestly and the belly rallying 10-15bps. VIX was unchanged from the start of the year at the open today - but thanks to the epic compression and steepening we have fallen back (VIX lower on the year). Of course, today's epic ramp really dislocated from risk-asset reality as soon as Bonds closed...

 

 

 

Senate Agrees To Kick Can For Two Months; Breached Debt Ceiling Untouched

Well, we appear to be nearing a mini 'delay' deal of some sort. The agglomeration of headlines continues with Senate deals on and off, Biden proclaiming victory yet Senate Democrats are said not have consented (yet).

*WHITE HOUSE SAID TO REACH BUDGET DEAL WITH REPUBLICANS

*SENATE FISCAL CLIFF VOTE POSSIBLE BY 10:30 P.M.: REID SPOKESMAN

*SENATE DEMOCRATS SAID NOT TO HAVE CONSENTED TO DEAL

State of the idiocy appears to be: The 2-month sequester delay: cuts would come half from defense & half-non-defense. 2 month window to give all sides time for bigger deal. No debt ceiling resolution. Tax rises for 400/450k, Cap Gains/Dividend up to 20%, small rise in estate tax and restrictions on personal tax deductions. Simple - as we have said for a while - assuming this passes seamlessly, this is nothing but a can-kicking delay to the 'extraordinary' debt ceiling date - two words - Stop.Gap. And in two months, it's not just the sequester but the debt ceiling too. Enjoy your night.

 

 

 

 

The Fed's Inflation Will Crush Emerging Markets  Posted by: Phoenix Capital...  Post date: 12/31/2012  The Fed's inflationary policies will damage Emerging Markets... not push them higher... A final feature of the Fed’s decision to implement QE 4 will be greater inflationary pressures. This will result in lower economic growth (in real terms) as well as higher operational costs, which will eat into corporate profit margins.     http://albertpeia.com/fedsinflationtocrushmarketsprofitmargins.htm

Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  HAPPY NEW CLIFF YEAR!  12-31-12  The president got his pound of flesh on taxes even as he was looking for more. Some significant deals were struck on dividends and capital gains for those making less than $400-450K. The disappointment is debt issues were shelved. This is what always happens since raising taxes is always the easiest thing to do vs serious deficit cuts bear on someone elses ox getting gored. But, once Obamacare is in force taxes will rise further as Chief Justice Roberts ruled—“its a tax.So we got a relief rally of sorts in stock markets and portfolio managers will get a little more in the way of bonuses with the end of month & year stick save. Oh wait, many of them will have to pay more in taxes.The following (Weekly Standard) is the deal worked out between VP Biden and Senate Minority Leader McConnell.Since It was inevitable with Obamas reelection taxes would rise, perhaps this is the best possible outcomeIts not a mere side note that the House hasnt voted on this and theres been little in the way of reconciliation which is the process in legislation as noted HERE. Assuming that a positive vote on this takes place in the House, then we move to the next big dealthe debt ceiling. And, lets not leave out more controversy as Obama continues to piss-off potential republican votes as he presses for even more taxes in 2013.  Finally, late breaking word is the House wont be voting on any deal Monday thus going over the cliff if only temporarily.The other positive news came from China where industrial production (PMI) 51.5 vs 50.5 previously. This kicked emerging market (EEM) and Asian stocks (AAXJ) higher despite fiscal cliff issues.Im not going to spend a lot of time on this as nothing is buttoned down yet except a sharp equity market rally and short squeeze.Volume was heavy on this fiscal cliff day and like others I hope not to type that phrase again ever! Breadth per the WSJ was quite positive approaching a 90/10 day by some measures…’

 

 

 

Executives at collapsed Iceland bank jailed for fraud

India reports 25 rapes in week following Delhi gangrape IBNLive  { See, as per the californication amerikan jurisprudential scholar/jurist/judge, these 25 girls may not have realized it, but, they really wanted it … you know, otherwise, as per the californication jurisprudential scholar/jurist/judge these subconsciously consensual encounters could not have happened because the body would ‘just say no’ to such liasons if nonconsensual. There you go! … american jurisprudence has done it again as they guide us through those dark, shadowy, murky areas of the law that would otherwise label violent criminal rapists as violent criminal rapists.  (We’re talking India here; but, violent rape among a plethora of other substantial crimes including murder, huge protected ie., wall street, etc., frauds, armed robberies, etc., are rampant in pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america.)  India gang-rape suspects to face murder charges (CBS/AP) NEW DELHI - Indian police charged six men with murder on Saturday, hours after a woman who was gang-raped and beaten on a bus in New Delhi nearly two weeks ago died in a Singapore hospital. { Clearly, says the california-american jurist/jurisprudential scholar, this girl was not a victim but really ‘wanted it’ and while she may have been screaming/saying ‘no’, she really meant ‘yes’ since otherwise her body wouldn’t have permitted that rape (and beating) to happen. See … now that’s why we have professionally educated/trained judges … to ‘split the pubic hairs’, so to speak … (that judge should be forced to step down)} Calif. judge says a victims' bodies can prevent rape CBS News SANTA ANA, Calif. A Southern California judge is being publicly admonished for saying a rape victim "didn't put up a fight" during her assault and that if someone doesn't want sexual intercourse, the body "will not permit that to happen.” { Wow! Spoken like a true california american jurist. Well, with violent rapes on the rise along with other serious violent among other crimes in america and california particularly, and elections being what they are, ‘might as well go with the flow’ might have been the ratio-decedendi. After all, most violent criminals in america are closet pacifists/peace corp members and if the body says yes or no but the mind subconsciously says yes, only then will a rape happen (NOT!); and, no violent rapist would let a LIVE/CONSCIOUS rape-resistor get in the way of implicit consensual rape. Wow! I initially was going to quip, ‘he doesn’t get out much’; but, maybe he just ‘gets out too much’. Wow! What more can anyone say! [ If the foregoing didn’t make sense to you, that’s because the californication judge’s outrageous statement is absolutely preposterous! ] }

 

 

Guest Post: The Real 2013 Cliff

Theres a much bigger cliff than the so-called fiscal cliff. The absolute worst result of the fiscal cliff would be a moderate uniform tax increase at a bad time, resulting in a moderate contraction. It is an obvious - but ultimately rather cosmetic - stumbling block on the so-called road to recovery. The much bigger cliff stems from the fact that the so-called recovery itself is build on nothing but sand. This is a result of underlying systemic fragilities that have never been allowed to break.

12-28-12  Fiscal cliff, my ass! Come on! Wake up! There’s no real recovery, except, ie., for the huge frauds on wall street (as they cash out worthless paper for bucks/hard assets and churn-and-earn at lightning/computerized algo program speed) which continue unprosecuted and unabated and at everyone else’s expense! Everybody’s paying for the wall street QE/frauds/froth! Huge unaffordable debt increases to mask the obama failure. Threats by the niggers to step up their already substantial violence against whites and riot if no obama ‘re-election’ … that’s terrorism! Unprecedented domestic terrorism! Then the widespread, documented voter fraud favoring obama … not a peep from the ‘status-quo, don’t rock the boat, happy to be there’ republicans. Why bail out wobama? Nothing will be solved by satisficing here! This last minute cramdown is what they’ve opted for by unreasonable, unaffordable, politically motivated intransigence! The nation’s broke! The niggers are pulling down their unaffordable freebies like never before. The extended unemployment benefits are so rich, who’d ever want to work? Time to say no to the niggers! A bit of intestinal fortitude required! F**k wobama, and f**k the niggers and their self-loathing buddies! Selective, rationally strategic ‘undoing’ of various ‘fiscal cliff’ unpleasantries can be undone after the fact of the ‘obama 4 years in the making failure’ with sound, rational thought consonant with reality. F**k wobama, f**k the niggers and their self-loathing buddies! Want to blame someone, blame wobama the unequivocal failure. Time to call a spade a spade! Time to pay the piper!

It’s laughable to hear him blame congress for his lack of accomplishments when the reality is that he ‘really wasn’t there’ for any of it. For wobama the presidency is just endless debate, rhetoric, campaigning, vacationing, soundbites from the teleprompted speeches, jive-talk, b***s***, and ‘choom fantasy’. He’s a total fraud and failure and anyone who buys into election-year desperation / promises, etc., is just a fool of the worst kind!     For those who put their trust in proven failure wobama, all they have to show for such misplaced trust are broken campaign promises, now insurmountable record deficit spending exceeding all the presidents since Eisenhower combined to obfuscate what clearly has been wobama’s unequivocal failure. ]

Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  FRUSTRATION WITH FISCAL CLIFF  12-28-12 
I dont have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. Its a depression. Everybodys out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickels worth. Banks are going bust. We know things are bad. Worse than bad. Theyre crazy. Its like everything everywhere is going crazy so we dont go out anymore. We sit in a house as slowly the world were living in is getting smaller and all we say is, Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Things have got to change my friends. Youve got to get mad. Youve got to say, Im as mad as hell and Im not going to take this anymore!

                                                                         Howard Beale (Peter Finch: Network 1976)

Things havent changed much since 1976 have they? Only the names, faces and circumstances have changed. Americans are still getting the shaft, but this condition is routinely self-inflicted. Weve made a mockery of the presidency, congress and markets. We know little about civics, the constitution and bill of rights, history, economics, science, literature and economics. We care more about toys and Hollywood distractions since critical thinking is just too hard. But I digress. Meanwhile the fiscal cliff sideshow and accompanying rumor driven algo / HFT trading dominates trading. Most Americans dont even know what the fiscal cliff is they just know its bad. The slip in Consumer Confidence to 65 from 74 reflected fear Thursday. Last week alone investors jammed $80 billion into bank CDs. Ive been avoiding commenting and even took a brief holiday in NYC for Christmas as HFT /algo driven volatility was to be expected this week. And this is what the HAL 9000s delivered. These programs alone have driven many investors out of markets. I hope the NYSE and other proponents of this activity are satisfied with the results.The Chicago PMI was only superficially higher (51 vs 51 expected & prior 50.4). But within the data the employment reading was -55.2 vs -45.9 previouslya hiring freeze. Pending Home Sales were in line with estimates (1.7% vs 1.8% expected & prior 5.2%). Again rumors and trial balloons are being launched. What to expect this weekend? A mini-deal, an extension to buy some time (always a first choice), or a deal that fixes nothing? There are many possibilities and all the volatility will sell soap for the media and thats about it. Were rather well-prepared for trouble if not opportunity. We raised nearly 55% in cash two weeks ago with only 25% in stocks and the balance in the income space. We can deal with this one way or another. Monday is scheduled to be a full trading day and one would suppose vacations will be cut short making New Years Day and Wednesday a tough go for partiers. Stocks fell sharply and even more so after the close dropping 28 S&P points (see chart below). Volume was spiked as news was leaked Obama wouldnt offer any new compromise. Breadth continues to be negative per the WSJ…’

2012 - 'Year Of Living Dangerously' In Review

Despite the fact that myself and everyone else acting like they know what lays ahead are proven wrong time and time again, we continue to make predictions about the future. It makes us feel like we have some control, when we dont. The world is too complex, too big, too corrupt, too lost in theories and delusions, and too dependent upon too many leaders with too few brains to be able to predict what will happen next. This is the time of year when all the experts will be making their 2013 predictions - but few will address where they were wrong in previous predictions. Im more interested in why I was wrong. It seems I always underestimate the ability of sociopathic central bankers and their willingness to destroy the lives of hundreds of millions to benefit their oligarch masters. I always underestimate the rampant corruption that permeates Washington DC and the executive suites in mega-corporations across the land. And I always overestimate the intelligence, civic mindedness, and ability to understand math of the ignorant masses that pass for citizens in this country. It seems that issuing trillions of new debt to pay off trillions of bad debt, government sanctioned accounting fraud, mainstream media propaganda, government data manipulation and a populace blinded by mass delusion can stave off the inevitable consequences of an unsustainable economic system. Will 2013 be the year it all collapses in a flaming heap of rubble? I dont know. Maybe you should ask an expert.

 

 

This Is What America Really Thinks

Presented with no comment.

 

 

16 Things About 2013 That Are Really Going To Stink

The beginning of the year has traditionally been a time of optimism when we all look forward to the exciting things that are going to happen over the next 12 months. Unfortunately, there are a whole bunch of things about 2013 that we already know are going to stink. Taxes are going to go up, good paying jobs will continue to leave the country, small businesses will continue to be destroyed, the number of Americans living in poverty will continue to soar, our infrastructure will continue to decay, global food supplies will likely continue to dwindle and the U.S. national debt will continue to explode. Our politicians continue to pursue the same policies that got us into this mess, and yet they continue to expect things to magically turn around. But that is not the way that things work in the real world. Bad decisions lead to bad outcomes. Sticking our heads in the sand and pretending that everything will be okay somehow is not going to help anyone.

 

 

Obama To Assign Fault; Propose Plan D, Different From Last Friday's Plan C - Live Webcast

We would expect the ingredients of the speech to be a pinch of self-denigration mixed with 6 fluid ounces of 'millionaires-and-billionaires', and a quart of "it's the other guys' fault." This coming from the man who precisely a week ago announced he would propose a "scaled down" plan, which today turned out was a complete lie: some leadership. Nevertheless. it will be interesting to see how his 'new' plan, same as the 'old' plan, is different from the 'new new' plan-to-come as he pushes the Senate to propose a 'new new new' deal that will really be a 'skinny irrelevant' deal - no doubt heralded by all asunder as a 'grand new' deal. Though it appears we should have no fear as McConnell and Reid are working on it and McConnell is "hopeful and optimistic." Farce!

 

 

CME Lowers Gold Margin By 9%

Adding to the confusion, for some, that is today's trading session, here comes the CME which in a post-closing announcement, proceeds to hike outright margins on a variety of petroleum and freight products, but more importantly just cut the margins on gold by 9%. Is it that time when the establishment is clearing the path for everyone to rotate out of equities (and/or bonds) into gold, just to set the trap and pull the trapdoor once everyone is once again left holding paper gold? We shall see, but following tonight's selloff, gold is now less than 5% less than stocks YTD. It may well be up to the last trading session of the year to determine who wins in 2012: rock or paper.

 

 

VIX Snaps To Six-Month Highs On Longest Stocks Slump Since May

For the first time since May, the S&P 500 has fallen for 5 days in a row. VIX has very much heralded the fact that investors were not as bullish as media-types would like to believe - as we have vociferously noted - and today's jump in the VIX pushes it to six-month highs over 22.5%. The S&P 500 futures ended the day-session at the week's lows testing down just shy of last week's flash-crash lows. Meanwhile, while equities slumped catching down to Treasury yields, commodities were relatively flat as was the USD; it seems that the excess longs in equities relative to the rest are unwinding - a different picture than what was seen during last Summer's debt ceiling debate.

 

 

Obama: "My Offer Is Nothing" - Stocks Plunge

Looks like today everyone in Congress was short. Here's why:

OBAMA SAID NOT TO MAKE NEW OFFER IN FISCAL CLIFF TALKS

So much for a deal, and so much for the invisible DJIA support at 13,000.

 

 

End-Of-Week Algo-gasm Insanity Imminent?

UPDATE: S&P says an impasse will not prompt an immediate downgrade - ramp-on (perfectly to VWAP and faded)

The Dow just breached 13,000 to the downside and S&P 500 futures are bleeding lower (catching down to a more anxious credit and Treasury market). Now well below VWAP, we worry that the plethora of headlines about to be unleashed on the investing world will create chaos in the markets (most likely futures first given liquidity). AAPL used the rampathon to get to Boxing Day's closing VWAP for a heavy dump. Will the meeting (which started at 1510ET) end after the day-session close allowing futures traders to play? who knows...

 

 

How Algos Orchestrate "Momentum Ignition" Chaos

On December 26, 2012 at 11:02:59, the market suddenly exploded with activity (SPY dropped below 141.88 - a low set 12 days earlier on December 14). Approximately 3,800 March 2013 eMini futures contracts (S$P 500) were sold during that second. Nanex thought the sudden explosion in activity warranted a closer look. What they found was fascinating. It appears the entire market-wide move may have been carefully orchestrated. One thing for certain is that our regulators will never be able to see the big picture if their analysis tools (MIDAS) only looks at equity data. Analyzing price moves in futures and options is crucial to understanding market-wide moves in equities, and visa versa. The sad truth is that 'momentum ignition' events such as this occur all the time. See this page more details, including an animation that shows where and when these events have occurred since 2007.

 

 

Bob Shiller On The 'Housing Recovery': "Highly Uncertain, It's Risky"

Sometimes, taking a break from the mainstream view of the world is healthy for our sheep-like tendencies to follow the herd. To wit, Robert Shiller can't understand the enthusiasm for the long-term recovery outlook of the housing market. With rentals rising and home-ownership dwindling, Shiller, in this Bloomberg TV clip, questions the positivity noting that the outlook is 'fuzzy' at best; and in fact in the short-term is negative as MoM things have deteriorated modestly (though seasonally). He note that the focus has been on multi-family residences and "if you are sitting in a suburban single-family house - what is your outlook? Highly uncertain - It's Risky!" And in one of the most prescient comments of recent weeks, Shiller admits something that many others should try: "[the outlook] could be up; but I don't see how anyone knows?" adding that another plausible outlook for the next five years is that "housing stays right where it is now," adding that Zillow's 1.3% annual real growth expectation could be too optimistic.

 

 

Fiscal Cliff Distracts As Fiscal Abyss In Japan, UK and U.S. Cometh

The U.S. federal deficit is now exceeding $1 trillion dollars every year up from $161 billion in 2007, the last year before the financial crisis. Spending is up some $1 trillion, as outlays for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other entitlements have increased by an amount equal to the entire 2013 military budget a budget which may again surpass the combined military expenditure of every other nation in the world. U.S. unfunded liabilities are now estimated at between $50 trillion and $100 trillion and by the end of the decade (in less than just 7 years), runaway entitlement spending will require shutting down the military or crippling many other vital domestic spending programs to head off massive deficits that will likely lead to a dollar crisis and significant inflation. No matter what deal is eventually agreed, whether before or after the new year, it will at best nibble at the edges of the trillion dollar annual deficits that are being piled up. While all the focus has been on the so called U.S. fiscal cliff, amnesia has taken hold and many market participants have forgotten about the far from resolved Eurozone debt crisis not to mention looming debt crisis in the UK and Japan.

 

 

China Passes Law Legalizing Deletion Of Internet Posts Or Pages Containing "Illegal" Information

While the US is caught in a rancorous debate over allowing the government to define just what was and wasn't meant by the Second amendment, and how best to limit it and give the government even more powers, China is more focused on its version of the First. Because on Wednesday we reported that in its attempt to make the Internet "healthier, more cultured and safer" and to curb what Chinese regulators dub "rumors and vulgarity" it would pass a law making internet anonymity impossible. Sure enough, said proposal has now been enacted into law, which just happens to also ensure that the First amendment is never an issue China has to worry about. Per Reuters: "China unveiled tighter Internet controls on Friday, legalizing the deletion of posts or pages which are deemed to contain "illegal" information and requiring service providers to hand over such information to the authorities for punishment. The rules signal that the new leadership headed by Communist Party chief Xi Jinping will continue muzzling the often scathing, raucous online chatter in a country where the Internet offers a rare opportunity for debate." So much for reform. And so much for a democratic definition of what constitutes "illegal" information. But fear not: like in China, once the various US amendments start seeing encroaching government "redefinition" ultimately they it will be the First's turn. Alas, by then it will be too late: any complaints will by then be deemed "illegal" too.

Same Cliff Different Day

We could say that news is actually relevant or matters in this "market" but we would be lying, just as we would be lying if we said that this market has not become so utterly predictable, with yesterday's late day market surge - on yet another ridiculous catalyst - visible from so far away, it was almost painful to watch it take place in real time. Sure enough, futures are now sliding back, and giving back much of yesterday's gains - but don't worry, in a day full of even more meetings and flashing red headlines, at least some combination of carefully phrased MSM words will set off today's algo-driven buying frenzy, guaranteeing yet another "retail investor" decides they have had it with this farcical "free market" casino for ever.

 

 

The Real Crisis: "People Have Lost Trust In The Government And The Market"

The death of the 'cult of equities' was a popular topic this year among both fringe blogs and the best-known institutional asset managers and sell-side strategists. As AP discusses in this excellent article, ordinary Americans - defying decades of investment history - are selling stocks for a fifth year in a row. It's the first time ordinary folks have sold during a sustained bull market since relevant records were first kept during World War II. The answer is both complex and simple but summed up best by a former stock analyst's comment that in order to buy stocks "You have to trust your government. You have to trust other governments. You have to trust Wall Street, and I don't trust any of these." With Fed policy trying to force investors back into stocks (at any cost), a former fund manager notes, presciently that, "When this policy fails, as it will, baby boomers will pay the cost in their 401(k)s." Are we the new 'Depression Babies'? We suspect so.

See now thats why we have professionally educated/trained judges to split the pubic hairs, so to speak (that judge should be forced to step down)} Calif. judge says a victims' bodies can prevent rape CBS News SANTA ANA, Calif. A Southern California judge is being publicly admonished for saying a rape victim "didn't put up a fight" during her assault and that if someone doesn't want sexual intercourse, the body "will not permit that to happen. { Wow! Spoken like a true california american jurist. Well, with violent rapes on the rise along with other serious violent among other crimes in america and california particularly, and elections being what they are, might as well go with the flow might have been the ratio-decedendi. After all, most violent criminals in america are closet pacifists/peace corp members and if the body says yes or no but the mind subconsciously says yes, only then will a rape happen (NOT!); and, no violent rapist would let a LIVE/CONSCIOUS rape-resistor get in the way of implicit consensual rape. Wow! I initially was going to quip, he doesnt get out much; but, maybe he just gets out too much. Wow! What more can anyone say!

12-27-12  Guest Post: Presenting The Decline Of The West In Two Easy Infographics

Two interesting infographics were published recently that make it so easy to see the decline of the West, even a caveman can do it. Both of these infographics point to the same conclusion: the west is living far beyond its means and is struggling with pitifully anemic growth. This is a long-term trend, and one that is only going to accelerate. Yet as obvious as the indicators may be, few people will actually do anything about it.

Just when you thought the seemingly endless rabbit hole of Wall Street-Washington corruption, cronyism, co-option, crime and kickbacks may have finally come to an end, here comes the House Ethic Committee to pronounce that no ethics breaches were found among House members in its investigation involving the scandal surrounding Countrywide "VIP loans" and the "Friends of Angelo." And in just doing so, the House effectively cleared itself of any wrongdoing and that's it, case closed - move along... Move along.

Savings Deposits Soar By Most Since Lehman And First Debt Ceiling Crisis

 

A month ago, we showed something disturbing: the weekly increase in savings deposits held at Commercial banks soared by a record $132 billion, more than the comparable surge during the Lehman Failure, the First Debt Ceiling Fiasco (not to be confused with the upcoming second one), and the First Greek Insolvency. And while there were certainly macro factors behind the move which usually indicates a spike in risk-aversion (and at least in the old days was accompanied by a plunge in stocks), a large reason for the surge was the unexpected rotation of some $70 billion in savings deposits at Thrift institutions leading to a combined increase in Savings accounts of some $60 billion. Moments ago the Fed released its weekly H.6 update where we find that while the relentless increase in savings accounts at commercial banks has continued, rising by another $70 billion in the past week, this time there was no offsetting drop in Savings deposits at Thrift Institutions, which also increased by $10.0 billion. The end result: an increase of $79.3 billion in total saving deposits at both commercial banks and thrifts, or an amount that is only the third largest weekly jump ever following the $102 billion surge following Lehman and the $92.4 billion rotation into savings following the first US debt ceiling debacle and US downgrade in August 2011.

 

 

Guest Post: No More Industrial Revolutions, No More Growth?

The common feature of the transformative technologies of the 20th and 21st centuries is that they were one-offs that cannot be duplicated. What if the engines of global growth that worked for 65 years (since 1945) have not just stalled but broken down? The primary "engines" have been productivity gains from industrialization, real estate development and expansion of consumption based on the continual expansion of debt and leverage--in short-hand, financialization. Doing more of what has failed will only set up a grander failure as returns on all our debt-based "investments" become ever more marginal and the return on increasing complexity drops into negative territory. Once complexity yields negative returns, the systems that depend on complexity quickly destabilize and implode.

 

 

Reid-Off; Boehner-On; McConnell-Off; Reality-Gone

UPDATE: ES -7 after-hours from closing highs (McConnell-Off)

Equity markets started the day off slowly but with confidence disappointing and Harry Reid's name-calling, not even the arrival of the chosen one was enough to juice anything but a minimal bounce in stocks. It looked like S&P 500 futures (ES) were going to retest the flash-crash lows from last week but thanks to a well-timed piece of news that Boehner will be in session on Sunday night (though no accompanying notes on exactly what magical book of crap they will sign off - or not - on) was enough to spur Johhny-5 and his friends into algo-asm action. The initial jerk was perfectly to VWAP and the second jerk took AAPL up to yesterday's closing VWAP. This strength dragged ES higher - reconnecting with a less excited risk-asset market that had remained flat from the day-session open. FX and vol were the main levers to the upside with Treasuries less enamored - though HYG was lifted to fill Monday's gap. Mitch McConnell spoiled the party a little into the unchanged close.

 

 

AAPL, Market Go Vertical On House Conference Call News

It appears that our expectation for a 3:35 pm rumor was some 45 minutes too late. No sooner than headlines crossed the wires that:

*U.S. HOUSE SAID TO PLAN 6:30 P.M. SESSION ON DEC. 30

*REPUBLICAN AIDE REPORTS FROM HOUSE MEMBERS' CONFERENCE CALL

then stocks ramped instantly to their VWAPs and beyond... efficient markets? whocouldanode? This way at least, when nothing happens on Sunday night, as nothing will (as it comes three days before Boehner's reelection), the flashbacks to the TARP 1 vote will be front and center, but the good news is that the downside will be limited by the limit down barrier in ES.

 

 

So Much For That Santa Claus Rally?

For those who prefer to trade by looking the rear-view mirror, December was looking like a bias-confirming 'Santa-Claus-Rally' month until just a few days ago. For the past 15 years, S&P 500 futures have averaged a rather consistent trend 2% gain in December and in the week leading up to Christmas, the S&P was holding up that plan at +2.6%; but now, sadly, the S&P is down for the month (underperforming the average by around 250bps). Oh, well, we hear there is a January effect to trade soon?

 

 

Guess Who Continues To Not "Rotate" Out Of Treasurys And Into Stocks

Those who read our article on this topic at this time last week should already know the answer to this rhetorical question. Everyone else may be a little surprised to learn that at a time when every Primary Dealer's sales desk has been pushing what little is left of gullible investors into stocks because the "Great rotation out of bonds and into stocks is our Top trade of 2013" (source: [every sellside strategist]), just as these seem poised to tumble in a recreation of the August 2011 debt ceiling fiasco (as we have been warning for months), their holdings of these same boring old Treasurys once again rose in the latest week ending December 19, increasing by another $10 billion, and hit a fresh all time gross high of $146 billion. Judging by what is increasingly a rotation out of stocks and into bonds, the smart money - correction the only money remaining - appears positioned correctly once again.

Remember: always do what they do, not what they say.

 

 

Initial Claims Drop To 350K, Beat Expectations From Upward Revised Baseline

Update: the BLS disclosed that it had to estimate the data for 19 states due to holiday office closures. Good enough for Ministry of Truth work.

In what is a traditional slowdown to the layoffs season in the week leading into Christmas, initial unemployment claims, dropped from an upward revised 362K (was 361K) to 350K, below a consensus print of 360K, and the lowest seasonally-adjusted number in nearly 5 years. The boost, of course, was all in the ARIMA X-12 seasonal adjustments, as the not seasonally adjusted number rose by 39K to 441K. Although in a world in which only Case-Shiller says to use its Non-Seasonally Adjusted print as a far more accurate indicator of concurrent data, nobody cares about the BLS pre-adjustment data. In fact, judging by the market response, nobody cares about BLS data anymore, period, with absolutely no response by the market following the Claims print. Perhaps the only realm, unfudged notable number was the jump in people claiming claims at the State level, which soared by 71K in the week ending December 8, to a 3.238MM total. This happened even the surge of those collecting EUCs finally ended, with just 4K new collectors of EUCs and Extended Benefits. The good news is that at least nothing is Sandy's fault, at least this week.

 

 

Lede Of The Day: "Spanish Lender Bankia Will Wipe Out 350,000 Shareholders"

Been a while since we had some amusement out of the Bazooko Circus known as Europe, which for the past month has gone completely dormant, not because "it is fixed" but because, just like in Japan where the JPY has plunged on expectations of an action by the BOJ, so Europe has continued to benefit from the threat of the latest and greatest proposed ECB intervention: the OMT, which on one hand keeps the vigilantes in check, but on the other delays any painful reforms even as the underlying Spanish economy continues to deteriorate without any real structural reforms: something which a surge in rates would promptly precipitate (and once expectations turn to reality, it's all over: just see the recent QE3 and QE4 attempts by the Fed). So speaking of Spain, today's recap sentence of the day goes to Reuters' Julien Toyer with the following: "Spanish lender Bankia will wipe out 350,000 shareholders, many of them small savers with little knowledge of financial markets, after it emerged it had a negative value of 4.2 billion euros." Now if only the Spanish wipe out ended with Bankia's shareholders...

A Canadian Summarizes America's Collapse: "Everyone Takes, Nobody Makes, Money Is Free, And Money Is Worthless"

On this lackluster Boxing Day dominated by illiquid moves in every asset class, we thought a few succinct minutes spent comprehending the US and European government policies of social welfare and their outcomes was time well spent. Canadian MP Pierre Poilievre delivers a rather epic speech destroying the myths of US and European 'wealth' noting that "Once the US citizen is in debt, the US government encourages them to stay in debt," noting that "the US government encouraged millions of Americans to spend money they did not have on homes they could not afford using loans they could never repay and then gave them a tax incentive never to repay it." His message, delivered seamlessly, notes the inordinate rise in the cost of all this borrowing, adding that "through debt interest alone, soon the US taxpayer will be funding 100% of the Chinese Military complex." From Dependence to Debt to the Welfare State and back to Dependence, this presentation puts incredible context on the false hope so many believe in the US and Europe. Everyone takes, nobody makes, work doesn't pay, indulgence doesn't cost, money is free, and money is worthless. Must watch.

A Record $2 Trillion In Deposits Over Loans - The Fed's Indirect Market Propping Pathway Exposed

Perhaps one of the most startling and telling charts of the New Normal, one which few talk about, is the soaring difference between bank loans - traditionally the source of growth for banks, at least in their Old Normal business model which did not envision all of them becoming glorified, Too Big To Fail hedge funds, ala the Goldman Sachs "Bank Holding Company" model; and deposits - traditionally the source of capital banks use to fund said loans. Historically, and logically, the relationship between the two time series has been virtually one to one. However, ever since the advent of actively managed Central Planning by the Fed, as a result of which Ben Bernanke dumped nearly $2 trillion in excess deposits on banks to facilitate their risk taking even more, the traditional correlation between loans and deposits has broken down. It is time to once again start talking about this chart as for the first time ever the difference between deposits and loans has hit a record $2 trillion! But that's just the beginning - the rabbit hole goes so much deeper...

 

 

US Treasury "Rises Above" The Debt Ceiling - Now What?

When Tim Geithner announced an hour ago that the US debt ceiling will officially be "risen above" on December 31, he stated that there are approximately two months in which the Treasury can take emergency measures to delay the actual debt ceiling breach, a moment in time which we believe will take place some time in March. Upon further reflection, with the automatic spending cuts and tax hikes that will take place on January 1, the irony is that the debt ceiling extension may last materially longer due to a substantial reduction in the US budget deficit, potentially pushing the final threshold to as late April or even May which means the political theater is going to last for even longer than we expected - something which both parties now appear set to capitalize on as much as possible. So the question now is what are the options before Tim Geithner and what are the "emergency measures" the Treasury take to delay the inevitable moment when one of three things happens: i) the US hikes its ceiling, ii) the US begins living within its means, iii) the US defaults on its debt. Since the third, and certainly second are impossible, and since the debt ceiling theater is something we all lived through as recently as 2011, here is the article we penned in January 2011, when that long ago debt ceiling of a mere $14.3 trillion was about to be breached, and whose ultimate rise required a 20% market plunge together with an S&P downgrade of the then pristine US AAA rating (an event which Tim Geithner had said shortly prior there is no risk of ever occuring), answering precisely this question.

 

 

Chart Of The Day: Retail Sales & Excuses

Not surprisingly when wages and salaries are growing at a slower rate there is a corresponding weakness in the level of retail sales.  The peak in wages and salaries occurred in early 2011 with the subsequent growth rate trending weaker.  This corresponds with the economy which has continued to muddle along at a very anemic pace.  While it may be likely that the damage from Hurricane Sandy may have soured some sales, particularly in the North East, it is unlikely to have had much of an effect on the retail sales nation wide.   For majority of America the "fiscal cliff" debate largely goes unnoticed as it remains a battle between the White House and the "rich" - for the rest the country it is more of a distraction from the things that matter like "Honey Boo Boo" and "Housewives Of Whereever".   What does matter though, as stated above, are incomes.  The decline in incomes, which can be seen in the roughly 1.2 million person increase in food stamp participation from June to September, is why retail "holiday" spending is weaker.  With credit limits reduced, incomes stagnant and real costs of living on the rise - it is not surprising that retail sales are far weaker than the NRF's holiday season predictions.

GEITHNER SAYS U.S. WILL REACH STATUTORY DEBT LIMIT ON DEC. 31

GEITHNER: WILL USE `EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES' TO AVOID DEBT LIMIT

TREASURY: SPECIAL MEASURES TO MAKE $200 BLN  ROOM UNDER LIMIT

GEITHNER: $200 BLN TO LAST TWO MONTHS IN `NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES'

GEITHNER: TAX, SPENDING `UNCERTAINTY' MAKES DURATION NOT CLEAR

GEITHNER SAYS ALL MEASURES HAVE BEEN USED IN PRIOR IMPASSES

GEITHNER OUTLINES PLANS IN LETTER TO SENATE MAJORITY LEADER

So since America's dysfunctional congress failed to "rise above" the Fiscal Cliff, it at least succeeded to "rise above" the debt ceiling. One out of two is not too bad...

 

 

Oil Flare Fails To Ignite Risk-On Rally In Stocks With VIX At 5-Month Highs

Despite the fact that Europe was closed today, the algos were not to be put off as the day broke beautifully into two pieces with a linear sell-off across assets into 1130ET and then a de-correlated nothing-burger all afternoon amid volumes lower than a CNBC anchor's IQ. Makes perfect sense right? The market dribbled higher off the lows into the close and then we got a little discombobulated in the last few minutes as Boehner rumors hit and ETFs (notably bonds - TLT) went a little jiggy. VIX remains bid (as we have been so clear to explain why) and while stocks weakened today, risk-assets in general were just not moving much - thanks generally to Oil's 2.75% gain offsetting Treasuries modest risk-off view. HYG (the high-yield bond ETF) went vertical into the close (following TLT's lead) but between negligible volumes and desparate attempts to pull any and every lever (EUR early and HYG late) to get things going, VIX's message is stay hedged into the new year (at 5-month highs with biggest 5-day jump in 7 months). S&P 500 futures closed the day-session at the low-end of the channel post last week's flash crash.

Guest Post: The Structural Endgame Of The Fiscal Cliff

To understand this endgame, we need to start with the financial and political basics of wealth and power in the U.S. Put these nine structural dynamics together and the endgame becomes clearly visible: Politically, a Tyranny of the Majority comprised of those who draw direct transfers/benefits from the Federal government, is ruled by the top half-of-1% financial aristocracy who own the majority of income-generating assets.  The minority, who pay most of the taxes (the 24.5% between the majority and aristocracy), will see their taxes rise as the aristocracy buys loopholes and exclusions while the bottom 50% pay no income tax. Financially, the Federal governments spending has outrun the tax revenues being collected.  Structurally, Federal expenditures for entitlements (Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Veterans Administration, etc.) will rise as Baby Boomers retire en masse over the next 15 years, while tax revenues will stagnate along with earned income. There is no way to square these circles. What few dare admit, much less state publicly, is that the Constitutional limits on the financial Aristocracy and the Tyranny of the Majority have failed.

 

 

Brits Counter-Petition: Keep Piers Morgan, We Don't Want Him Back

Just as we warned in our previous discussion, the Brits, concerned that the dreaded Piers Morgan may be forcefully removed from the USA, have now lodged their own petition. With over half the signatures required, the counter-petition to Home Secretary Theresa May begs her to: Stop Piers Morgan From Being Deported Back To The UK From America... "We got rid of him once and why should we have to suffer again. The Americans wanted him so they should put up with him. We washed our hands of him a long time ago." They do have a point. We hear Belize has a quietly-used compound going cheap?

 

 

Will Rising Union Activism Expose The Zombified US Pensions

Over the last few years, and at an increasing pace as of more recently, unions have become more and more confident of their ability to effect change and taken much more aggressive activist positions against the capitalist oppressors. The most recent examples range from California cities to Twinkies-maker Hostess Brands, and each time the stance from the unions appears to have been far more aggressive (and M.A.D. prone) than in the past. The question is why? Perhaps, as we tweeted following Hostess' liquidation:

Will the broke PBGC step in and fund Hostess' 18,000 workers suddenly vaporized pensions?

...It is the confidence of an all-powerful government at their back with the US Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation, which is the backstop for private sector plans, providing cover. The problem is, as UBS explains, the PBGC has a huge deficit and is cashflow negative. This leads us to the uncomfortable expectation of further USD government support (bailout) or a more direct monetization by the Fed. PBGC could be impacted severely if a few large firms terminate their pensions. In this case, UBS expects PBGC to sell equities and buy long duration fixed income.

 

 

Monetary Malpratice: Deceptions, Distortions & Delusions

By the Deceptive means of Misinformation and Manipulation of economic data the Federal Reserve has set the stage for broad based moral hazard. Through Distortions caused by Malpractice and Malfeasance, a raft of Unintended Consequences have now changed the economic and financial fabric of America likely forever. The Federal Reserve policies of Quantitative Easing and Negative real interest rates, across the entire yield curve, have been allowed to go on so long that Mispricing and Malinvestment has reached the level that markets are effectively Delusional. Markets have become Dysfunctional concerning the pricing of risk and risk adjusted valuations. Fund Managers can no longer use even the Fed's own Valuation Model which is openly acknowledged to be broken.

Ron Paul: Government Security Is Just Another Kind Of Violence

Obviously I dont want to conflate complex issues of foreign policy and war with the Sandy Hook shooting, but it is important to make the broader point that our federal government has zero moral authority to legislate against violence. Furthermore, do we really want to live in a world of police checkpoints, surveillance cameras, metal detectors, X-ray scanners, and warrantless physical searches?  We see this culture in our airports: witness the shabby spectacle of once proud, happy Americans shuffling through long lines while uniformed TSA agents bark orders.  This is the world of government provided "security," a world far too many Americans now seem to accept or even endorse.  School shootings, no matter how horrific, do not justify creating an Orwellian surveillance state in America. Do we really believe government can provide total security?  Do we want to involuntarily commit every disaffected, disturbed, or alienated person who fantasizes about violence?  Or can we accept that liberty is more important than the illusion of state-provided security? Government cannot create a world without risks, nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place.  Only a totalitarian society would even claim absolute safety as a worthy ideal, because it would require total state control over its citizens lives.  We shouldnt settle for substituting one type of violence for another. Government role is to protect liberty, not to pursue unobtainable safety.

 

 

Eric Sprott: Why Are Investors Buying 50 Times More Physical Silver Than Gold?

For the time being, the silver price is essentially set in the paper market where the daily average trade on the Comex is approximately 300 million ounces. An outrageous number when you compare it to the daily mine production of about 2 million ounces. As Bart Chilton, Commissioner of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission stated on October 26, 2010, I believe there have been repeated attempts to influence prices in silver markets. There have been fraudulent efforts to persuade and deviously control that price. Based on what I have been told and reviewed in publicly available documents, I believe violations to the Commodity Exchange Act have taken place in the silver market and any such violation of the law in this regard should be prosecuted. Which brings us back to the phrase Follow the money. In our view, it is almost inconceivable that investors would allocate as many dollars to silver as they would to gold, but that is what the data shows. The silver investment market is very small. While the dollar value of gold in the world approaches $9 trillion, the value of silver in the forms of jewelry, coins, bars and silverware is estimated at around $150 billion (5 billion ounces at $30 per ounce). This is a ratio of 60:1 in dollar terms. How long can investors continue to buy silver at the current ratios when the availability for investment is only 3:1? We are surprised that the price of silver has remained at such a depressed level compared to gold. Historically, the price ratio between gold and silver has been 16:1, when both were currencies. Today the ratio is 55:1, so what are the numbers telling us? We believe this is one of those times when smart investors will be well rewarded to Follow the money.

 

 

Volume Off; Hedges On

Equity futures closed at their lows (after cash ended nearer its highs) amid deathly quiet volume with VIX at 6 week highs and HYG underperforming. Much was made Friday about the compression in VIX from its early spike highs - with those that have the microphones explaining how this must be a bullish sigh - surely, and that this also means the cliff resolution is merely hours away. Unfortunately, as we noted at the time, both VIX's behavior (and the reality of our politicians) means that resolution is nowhere near (and the options market remains priced for more pain). In fact the rolling of hedges in VIX futures (and Friday's quad-witching) almost forced spot VIX to drop; today we see spot VIX rising  (towards its now anchored January futures levels) and still pointing to significantly more 'concerned' pricing than the market would suggest. We go back to what we have been saying - managers know that selling down their exposure into this thin market creates a bid vacuum (a la Thursday's flash-crash) and so bidding option protection is the only way to survive (meanwhile dribbling down the underlying exposure). During this holiday week, with its low volumes, it would surprise us to see VIX rising further as algos take advantage of low volumes to tickle stocks higher - but the vacuum underneath grows larger by the day.

 

 

Post-Hyperinflationary Zimbabwe Welcomes The Holidays With 80% Unemployment, Empty ATMs And Paralyzed Transport  { Just another typical nigger! Speaking of niggers, if wobama is given the opportunity as he has thus far, hell tread the same path as fellow nigger mugabe. }

Zimbabwe's hyperinflation, courtesy of one Gideon Gono - the brilliant man behind such grand monetary experiments as QE and its offshoots throughout the developed world - and numerous one hundred trillion dollar Zimbabwe dollar bills, may have come and gone, and the country may no longer have a functioning currency of its own, but it certainly has the aftermath of the most recent episode of modern-era monetary hyperinflation to contend with. And with the holidays here, AP provides a very bleak snapshot of what the country which currently has an 80% unemployment, has to look forward to. Zimbabweans are facing bleak holidays this year amid rising poverty, food and cash shortages and political uncertainty, with some describing it as the worst since the formation of the coalition government in the southern African nation.... Banks have closed, ATMs have run out of cash and transport services have been paralyzed." It gets worse: "Zimbabwe's unemployment is pegged at around 80 percent with many people in Harare, the capital, eking out a living by selling vegetables and fruits on street corners." And all of this is after the massive economic imbalances in Zimbabwe's economy should have been "fixed" (or so conventional economic theory would have one believe) courtesy of hyperinflation, which left any savers in tatters, destroyed the value of the old currency, benefited solely debtors  but also allowed a fresh start to a government, which could only remain in power due to a violent power grab by the democratically elected-turned-dictator Robert Mugabe.

 

 

The Ultimate Global Risk Matrix - In Seven Dimensions

Sometimes it takes 60 pages to describe where we have been this year; on other occasions it takes 28 pages to describe where we are going and why. However, BBVA (via Constantin Gurdgiev's True Economics) have managed to condense the state of risk in our global markets down to seven critical dimensions (and into one table). From Macro (GDP and inflation) to Fiscal, Liquidity, and Credit Growth, the following matrix is your must-have guide for this new-year's cocktail party circuit. You're welcome...

 

 

Does Libor Manipulation Deserve The Death Penalty?

Bloomberg's William Cohan released a provocative piece last night, headlined by the even more provocative "UBS Libor Manipulation Deserves the Death Penalty." We can only assume that Cohan is being metaphorical - after all, despite the rare occasional recent criminal charge no one has still gone to prison for the biggest coordinated manipulation of a benchmark fixed income market for years: something previously relegated to the fringes of crackpot conspiracy theories - after all, so many people were in on it, how can they possibly all keep their mouths shut - you know, the usual excuse against massive conspiracy theories, at least until they become conspiracy fact. Yet one wonders: will current and future ongoing market manipulations ever cease when there is no real deterrent: after all spending a few years in jail is certainly worth a few million in ill-gotten proceeds, even assuming the termination of a career in finance. Is Cohan being rhetorical? Or has the time for some true vigilante justice finally come? Because in a world increasingly best portrayed by the 2009 movie "The International" where one has to "go outside" a captured legal system to get real justice, is vigilantism eventually coming to every town near you, once the money illusion ends? And a bigger question - is this the main preemptive reason for the gun control push seen so vividly in recent days and months?

 

 

1000x Systemic Leverage: $600 Trillion In Gross Derivatives "Backed" By $600 Billion In Collateral

There is much debate whether when it comes to the total notional size of outstanding derivatives, it is the gross notional that matters (roughly $600 trillion), or the amount which takes out biletaral netting and other offsetting positions (much lower). We explained previously how gross is irrelevant... until it is, i.e. until there is a breach in the counterparty chain and suddenly all net becomes gross (as in the case of the Lehman bankruptcy), such as during a financial crisis, i.e., the only time when gross derivative exposure becomes material (er, by definition). But a bigger question is what is the actual collateral backing this gargantuan market which is about 10 times greater than the world's combined GDP, because as the "derivative" name implies all this exposure is backed on some dedicated, real assets, somewhere. Luckily, the IMF recently released a discussion note titled "Shadow Banking: Economics and Policy" where quietly hidden in one of the appendices it answers precisely this critical question. The bottom line: $600 trillion in gross notional derivatives backed by a tiny $600 billion in real assets: a whopping 0.1% margin requirement! Surely nothing can possibly go wrong with this amount of unprecedented 1000x systemic leverage.

Guest Post: 2012: Calm Before The Storm

We have a new era dawning in Global Monetary policy. It is a new day with the monetary skies already red. Within 90 days the captains of monetary policy have steered the world into uncharted waters and on a course that history warns us against. Federal Reserve: QE3 "Unlimited" and QE4 within 90 days, ECB: OMT "Uncapped", BoJ: QE 10 and the newly elected Prime Minister Abe's mandate for "Inflation at any cost" BoE: UK's newly appointed BoE Governor, Mark Carney's Monetary Evan Rule targeting. These untested and newly commissioned captains all have PhD's from the finest Economic schools in the world, but they clearly have not studied nor grasped the key lessons of history. To any sane person, who has a grasp of what is presently occurring, it is obvious that the current state of affairs is unsustainable. The question is how long can the Monetary Captains' misguided policies keep us off the shoals of our economic destruction. How long can policies of "Extend and Pretend", Kick the Can Down the Road" or "Fake it Until You Make It" continue? The answer is likely unknowable, the certainty of it ending badly is not.

 

 

 

 

12-21-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  FAILURE OF LEADERSHIP  12-21-12  The day is not done in this area of the world but from what I can tell the planet survived the Mayan apocalypse. The same cant be said for fiscal cliff negotiations. Boehners plan B never got to vote since it didnt have the votes. Republicans just dont want to be accused of raising taxes especially when there arent any serious spending cuts in the mix. Its just that simple really. The baton was passed to Harry Reid who just couldnt grasp it knowing they were ill-prepared for any plan to vote for or against.On the one hand its good there are disagreements since you wouldnt want anything rammed down the peoples throat without discussion. At the same time the WH and congress have had plenty of time to discuss things since Simpson-Bowles. That report was promptly put in the dumpster. It should have gotten a vote but none of the parties wanted to touch it. Therein is the shame of it all. So a pox on their houses! Now the parties will leave on holiday which shouldnt be permitted given their failures. But whos to stop AF One and others from hightailing it? Not a soul. Meanwhile, Bernanke & Co will keep the money printing presses running should the cliff result in a disruption. The only problem there is running out of ink. Stock markets sold-off hard (futures limit down overnight) on the news but, for the most part, still are clinging to gains on the week. Leading stock sectors lower came from across a wide spectrum. Bonds (TLT) were higher. The dollar (UUP) was stronger on a (cough) flight to quality while gold (GLD) oddly rallied modestly. Commodities (DBC) were flat overall while basic metals (DBB) rallied slightly. To complicate matters Friday was quad-witching meaning spooky things can occur with prices manipulated by odd mechanical objectives (option strike prices, expirations and so forth) having nothing to do with basic investment practices. Obscured by the theatrics were some mixed economic data. Durable Goods Orders rose (.7% vs .5% expected & prior revised higher to 1.1%) while ex-Transportation (1.6% vs .2% expected & prior 1.9%). Personal Income rose (.6% vs .3% expected & prior .1%) while Spending rose (.4% vs .4% expected & prior 1.2%). Both these data points were heavily influenced by Hurricane Sandy its said. University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment weakened (72.9 vs 75 expected & prior 74.5). Overseas news featured an expected resignation from Italys Monti. In the UK GDP worsened (.9% vs 1% expected) while the BOE wants banks to raise their reserve requirements which logically would reduce lending.  Volume on this pre-holiday week of trading (along with quad-witching) was heavy. Breadth per the WSJ was quite negative…’

 

 

 

75 Economic Numbers From 2012 That Are Almost Too Crazy To Believe

75 Economic Numbers From 2012 That Are Almost Too Crazy To Believe  Snyder http://albertpeia.com/75terribleeconomicnumbersof2012.htm 

What a year 2012 has been!  The mainstream media continues to tell us what a great job the Obama administration and the Federal Reserve are doing of managing the economy, but meanwhile things just continue to get even worse for the poor and the middle class. Right now we are living in a bubble of debt-fueled false prosperity that allows us to continue to consume far more wealth than we produce, but when that bubble bursts we are going to experience the most painful economic adjustment that America has ever gone through.  We need to be able to explain to our fellow Americans what is coming, why it is coming and what needs to be done.  Hopefully the crazy economic numbers that we have included in this article will be shocking enough to wake some people up.

 

 

Markets & Macro - 2008 And Today

It seems left, right, and center we hear that fundamentals are currently supportive of equities. However, dismal earnings outlooks (and historicals) aside, we have seen the current pattern of macro-economic data 'outperforming' economists' expectations while stocks don't appear to fully play along before - it was mid-2008. As is clear from the chart below, the rapidity of the collapse in macro data should be greatly concerning to any and all who think there is even a possibility we go over the cliff - as, for sure, economic expectations are not priced for that at all (and stocks for at worst a modest macro weakening only).

 

 

Guest Post: The Unadulterated Gold Standard Part 3

Following Part 1 (History), and Part 2 (Interventionism), Part 3 provides a more technical look at the key features of the unadulterated gold standard.  It could be briefly stated as a free market in money, credit, interest, discount, and banking.  Another way of saying it is that there would be no confusion of money (i.e. gold) and credit (i.e. paper).  Both play their role, and neither is banished from the monetary system. There would be no central bank with its experts to dictate the rate of interest and no lender of last resort.  There would be no Securities Act, no deposit insurance, no armies of banking regulators, and definitely no bailouts or too big to fail banksThe government would have little role in the monetary system, save to catch criminals and enforce contracts.

 

 

How 10,000 Contracts Crashed The Market: A Visual Deconstruction Of Last Night's E-Mini Flash Crash

On December 20, 2012, there was an Event in the eMini futures at 20:18:40 ET. The data exhibits many hallmarks of a HFT (High Frequency Trader) market maker absorbing sell orders up to their limit, and then turning around and dumping those contracts as fast as possible. Exactly what happened in the Flash Crash on May 6, 2010 (this documentary on youtube has a great explanation). Only in this case, the original seller appears to be much more aggressive than Waddell & Reed's algorithm. The drop came in 2 seconds, and halted trading for 10 seconds. The flash crash halted eMini trading for just 5 seconds. A mere 10,000 contracts (or $700mm notional) was enough to do all that damage - enjoy.

 

 

The One Thing Everyone Is Forgetting About The Fiscal Cliff

While everyone is hypnotized by the melodramatic theater in D.C., it is worth reminding readers just what the one most important statement so far uttered by anyone on the topic of the Fiscal cliff is. That statement belongs to Chairman Bernanke, it was uttered during the December 12 Fed press conference when QE4EVA was announced, and is his response to Peter Cook from Bloomberg TV who asked "if the policy makers were not to agree to some sort of deficit deal by the end of this year and we were to go over the fiscal cliff, that the size of these asset purchases could indeed grow in response to that?' Bernanke's response: "if the economy actually went off the fiscal cliff, our assessment, the CBOs assessment, outside forecasters, all think that that would have very significant adverse effects on the economy and on the unemployment rate. And so, on the margin, we would try to do what we could. We would perhaps increase a bit." And there you have it, and there goes any sense of urgency, at least until the real deadline in late March, when the Treasury will have tapped out the G-fund and can't extend the debt ceiling any more.

"Get to work, Mr. Chairman."

 

 

Guest Post: Santa Keynes and the Hayekian Grinch

We are now approaching the fourth Christmas of the great debate between the benign supporters of Santa Keynes and the walnut-hearted acolytes of the Hayekian Grinch. Or at least thats how Keynesians seem to see it. Far from being a success, Keynesian policies have retarded recovery and extended the downturn, just as they did in the 1930s and the 1970s. Theyre the moral policy present that keeps on taking, supported by those who claim that their opponents have hearts two sizes too small.

Why The Manufacturing Jobs Are Not Coming Back

There are a plethora of reasons underpinning the fact that manufacturing jobs are not coming back to the USA. Perhaps the simplest is purely economic. As McKinsey notes in a recent report, manufacturings' role in job creation shifts over time as manufacturing's share of output falls and as companies invest in technologies and process improvements that raise productivity. A critical finding is that as manufacturing's share of national output falls, so does its share of employment - following the inverted 'U' curve below. Manufacturing job losses in advanced economies have been concentrated in labor-intensive and highly tradable (read globalizable) industries such as apparel and electronics assembly. Thanks to the increased productivity and a 'high' credit-enabled standard-of-living, the US has simply priced itself out of the global manufacturing business (and so is China as its GDP per capita rises). Unless Americans are willing to put the twinkie (and iPad) down, those jobs will continue to bleed overseas (to India based on the chart below) building the ever-more self-fulfilling vicious circle of a nation dependent on state-aid to survive as only the 'unlucky' few remain employed.

 

 

Monti. Out.

The rumors have been flying around all morning, but now it's news...

ITALY PRIME MINISTER MONTI RESIGNS, PRESIDENT SAYS

Italian credit spreads leaked wider all morning and EURUSD lower though the correlation to losing a technocrat is perhaps a stretch. And so the great "Mark-to-Monti" Goldman rotation (as described previously) is complete, with Goldman losing a technocratic scribe, who is no longer needed thanks to yet another Goldmanite now in charge of the ECB, but far more importantly, Goldman has now gained control over that most prized of central planner jewels: the Bank of England.

 

 

Guest Post: The Upside Of The Fiscal Cliff

 

Facing reality is positive. That's the upside to the fiscal cliff. The last decade's fantasy that we could borrow our way to prosperity while lowering taxes on upper-income earners (because it's so cheap to borrow trillions at near-zero interest rates) is finally running into reality-based resistance.

 

 

Bulletproof Backpacks And Combat Apparel Sales Soar

First gun sales soared, then Wal-Mart ran out of guns, then parents, stunned by the popular response in the aftermath of the Newtown mass murder which saw the White House threaten to curb the Second Amendment and lead to an even more unprecedented scramble for guns and ammo, and seeing nothing but confusion (but lots of bickering meant to extract nothing but political brownie points) out of the government instead of any hope of actual protection, decided it was time for some vigilante protection. The end result: sales of bulletproof backpacks have soared, with sales exploding as much as 500% since Friday. And since the white line from a defensive to an offensive posture is very thin, it is likely only a matter of time before we get the first media report of a 6 year old armed with a 44 caliber during recess.

 

 

European Stocks Ignoring Everything (Like The US Until Last Night)

While Italian and Spanish sovereign bonds weakened notably today, the equity markets across Europe decided that the limit-down move in US futures was a storm in a teacup and ignored it. EURUSD has broken its inexorable 10-day linear ramp leaving the USD almost perfectly unchanged on the week. Italy and Spain equity indices are up 2.6% and 3% respectively while Italian and Spanish bond spreads are around 16bps tighter. Rather like what we witnessed this week in the US, Europe's VIX exploded today (biggest jump since July) as protection was sought in a hurry but the underlying indices did not drop as (just like over here) they are simply too illiquid to cope with the kind of selling that is desired. This leads to the game-theoretical first-mover dilemma - and the preference was to hedge via bonds, FX, and options as Europe closed - because think of the optics if Spanish stocks were to fall? Spot The Odd Market Out!

 

 

Consumer Confidence Plunges To Lowest Since July, Biggest Miss Since 2007

After theatrically soaring to a 5 year high in November, when the UMich confidence final print rose above the 82 level, the final UMich consumer confidence number just tumbled by a whopping 10 point down to 72.9, well below the expected 75.0 print, and below the preliminary read of 74.5. This was the biggest percentage slide since February 2007. So much for the great pick up in confidence, driven by the foreclosure stuffed subsidized "recovering" housing market. Perhaps it's time to get a seasonally adjusted confidence number?

12-20-12 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com    THE END IS NEAR FISCAL CLIFF  12-20-12  Well, thats what were told anyway. Tomorrow is the Mayan doomsday prophecy and/or perhaps a fiscal cliff deal. I believe Obama was slated to leave for a Hawaiian holiday, but that may be postponed.The Executive branch and the Senate and House of Representatives each has a role to play in the budget process. The congress is divided. Compromise is the only solution as in, Ill give you X and you give me Y. This is the way it should go but the House and WH are wide apart with only some give around the edges. The House Speaker, John Boehner, through a bill is publicly putting his sides agenda to a vote. So thats a marker from which to negotiate theoretically. And, yes, the Senate will not take up the bill if passed so as not to legitimize it.Perhaps by the time you read this the world will have ended making this analysis moot.Jobless Claims rose (361K vs 359K expected & prior revised higher to 344K). The previous lower report may have been an outlier. The average for 2012 is demonstrated below and this report remains near the average.

GDP final Q3 data was at 3.1% which was greater than prior estimate of 2.7%. Under the hood, nearly half the annualized growth was from government (.75%) and inventories (.73%). Personal Consumption rose 1.12% but below previous estimates of 1.42%. Q4 estimates are averaging only 1%. Below is a graph from the BEA.

Philly Fed Survey rose (8.1 vs -2 expected & prior -10.7) while Existing Home Sales rose 5.9% (5.04M vs 4.94 expected & prior 4.76M). Both were excellent reports with the latter in complete contrast to Mondays Empire State Index (-8.1). So were left to scratch our heads.Stocks were flat earlier and then rose once Speaker Boehner said hed still be negotiating with the president once his bill has passed. This caused stocks to rally modestly. But then leader Harry Reid adjourned the Senate with the intention of reconvening December 27th for another round of the mini-series. Basically Reid & Co are just the closing act anyway but there wont be a deal before Christmas it seems.The bigger news is the ongoing sell-off in precious metals. Some are finding explanations difficult but it seems it involves two basic issues: hedge fund redemptions and sector rotation. With the former heavy selling it feeds on itself triggering stops and more selling. We wont know the seriousness of it until January frankly. Gold (GLD) and silver (SLV) are leading metals lower. In sympathy copper (JJC) has also been driven lower. Frankly with the dollar (UUP) falling and central banks in full money printing mode, commodities and precious metals should be soaring. Financials (XLF) (KBE) and real estate REITS (IYR) (RWX) led the way higher. Bonds (IEF) were stronger while commodities (DBC) were weaker. Naturally financials were helped by the ICE takeover of the venerable NYSE. The buyer liked the brand and possibly their HFT center which accounts for most of the volume these days.Volume was modest while breadth per the WSJ was positive…’

Futures Flash Crash As ES Plummets To Limit Down

 

No, really, there is a big, huge, massive rotation out of those dangerous, inflationary bonds into safe, predictable equities...

 

The Great Spanish Crash - Documentary

Forget what you are told by various European officials. Ignore the endless parade of manipulated market savants who 'see' sovereign spreads falling and claim that indicates all is well in Europe. To truly understand the situation, watch this must-see documentary from the BBC's Paul Mason on the rise and fall of Spain. From dictatorship to democracy and from construction boom to economic bust, Mason pulls no punches in this down-to-earth realization that things are far worse than any 'market' would suggest. It is critical to understand that free markets are the stick (or carrot depending upon your style of vigilantism) to incent governments to be proactive. With the very visible hand of ECB-funded banks bailing one another out, all the politicians are doing in this 'lull' is nothing at all! Instead, the watchers (and prognosticators) simply observe the market and their bias is to believe that they 'fixed' it. This documentary will explain why that is absolutely not the case.

 

A Fiscal Flowchart For Dummies: Here Is What Happens Next

Confused by what is about to take place amid the loud noise, political posturing and rhetoric that as soon as tomorrow will hit an unseen before level as Obama's plan to split the GOP has worked so well it has completely backfired and thrown any game theoretical forecasts out of the window? Here is Goldman's fiscal flowchart, which is not for faint of heart, as ever more signs point to the box with the all caps "recession" written all over it.

 

VIX Decoupling Band Snaps Even As SPX Still Has A Ways To Go

A mere 7 hours ago in "Just in case there is no deal" as is now the case, we noted that there was a considerable divergence between the equity market's roiling exuberance (and the accompanying over-confidence of the naive watchers) and the occurrences in the implied volatility world. VIX had decoupled rather notably from stocks (and its term structure had flattened as short-term protection was heavily bid). Sure enough, at the first sign of things not quite going to Plan (A, B, or Z), equity futures have collapsed amid a total farce of a market liquidity to recouple with volatility. With quad-witching tomorrow, we can only imagine the efforts the algos will be going to tonight to keep this afloat.

 

Plan 'C' Anyone? Boehner Humiliated As "Plan B" Lacks Enough Votes To Pass

Update: wow:

HOUSE SCRAPS PLAN TO VOTE ON BOEHNER'S TAX `PLAN B' TONIGHT
U.S. HOUSE PLANS NO VOTES UNTIL AFTER CHRISTMAS, BURTON SAYS
BOEHNER SAYS `PLAN B' TAX PLAN LACKED SUPPORT TO PASS
BOEHNER SAYS UP TO OBAMA TO WORK WITH REID ON BUDGET PLAN

Absolute total chaos. ES at lows of the days right now. Luckily, at least the debt ceiling is a firm deadline... Sometime in late March. Oh, and goodbye Boehner?

 

Is The Short Squeeze Over?

Following up on our recent discussion of the worst-is-first rally that we have all been witness to in the last few weeks, we thought it noteworthy that the 'most-shorted' names in the Russell 3000 and the index itself have now recoupled from their epic divergence post-QE3. We have seen five large short squeezes 'engineered' since the lows in March 2009 - and given Citi and BofA's 17% gains in December alone, we suspect (and have heard from more than a few funds) that year-end is bringing some forced buy-ins as SecLend desks become a little more activist.

 

Guest Post: The Last Christmas In America?

As unemployment rose toward 10%, the January 1975 cover of Ramparts magazine blared: The End of Affluence: The Last Christmas in America. (TLCIA). Now statistics are echoing that last great recession: rising prices for essentials, systemically high unemployment and stagnant wages. So how does a society deal with the End of Work when it also means The End of Affluence, even for many of those with jobs? How does government deal with declining tax revenues and rising interest rates? The death throes of the debt-based consumerist lifestyle are already visible beneath the glossy propaganda of "rising revenues this Christmas season." The Fed is desperately attempting to re-inflate the debt bubble by lowering interest and mortgage rates and buying up all sorts of semi-toxic/impaired debt. What the Fed dreads is the reality we all feel and see: fear of the future due to diminished wealth and shaky incomes.

 

 

Visualizing The Changing Face Of Global Manufacturing

Manufacturing industries have helped drive economic growth and rising living standards for nearly three centuries, and for some developing economies (as McKinsey notes in a recent report) continues to do so. Things are changing, however, as manufacturing output (as measured by gross value added) grew by 2.7% annually in advanced economies and 7.4% in large developing economies (from 2000 up until 2007); the leaders are changing rapidly China, India and Russia rise and Germany, Japan, UK, and Canada are sliding  {and old news, u.s. slid}. The following chart simplifies the evolution of global manufacturing economies over the last four decades.

 

 

Comment Of The Day: On The Self-Destructiveness Of Fed Policy

What creates real efficiency and competition are not eras of wealth and largesse, but eras of scarcity and change.  A good analogy is that war creates better armies and better weapons, not prolonged periods of peace.   Bernanke of course has zero understanding of what happens to large companies when financial reality is made irrelevant, and capital is made plentiful.  (Growth and efficiency are by no means a logical result). This is what happens when academics who are deeply inexperienced in business run monetary policy designed to stimulate business.   The market is going to bend him over the table and humiliate him eventually.  And then all that capital that he injected into the market is going to evaporate, and a generation of Americans will be financially obliterated.

 

 

Headwinds Vs. Tailwinds: The Macroeconomic HeatMap

For all economies, the relative pressure of tailwinds in relation to headwinds will be crucial for the outcome of economic activity. In the chart below, Barclays shows a heat-map that represents their subjective assessment of the relative balance of forces from 2012 into 2013 and beyond. In 2013, the fiscal headwind continues to loom large and is an important basis of caution despite the strong improvement in financial conditions. The fiscal headwind is unlikely to abate by much in the US and Europe until 2014, possibly later. Other sources of headwind are likely to continue during 2013; these include private sector de-leveraging in the highly indebted parts of Europe, as well as political uncertainty (in this context, we observe the elections in Italy (Q1) and Germany (Q4)). Monetary policy, policy reforms, and the financial markets themselves are the main tailwinds as vol suppression continues. Headwinds vs Tailwinds once again in 2013...

 

 

The Complete Politicization Of The Fed

There have been very few times where in my 40+ years of capital markets participation that Ive strongly believed that we have witnessed a significant, material, public but seemingly under-discussed, under appreciated watershed event that will over the next several years, impact capital markets in a profound manner.  The recent announcement by the Fed that they were to pursue the future course of monetary policy with direct regard to a specific, numerical level of unemployment in my mind, represents exactly one of those rare events. While the optics of the recent decision to accept an active target of the unemployment rate might be well meant, socially responsible and politically correct, the dependency upon the single datum construct already of a highly controversial nature may well likely reduce further the credibility of the Federal Reserves monetary efforts, thereby leading to slower economic growth, hiring and economic well being as adverse unintended consequences. Indeed, another triumph of form over substance wherein appearances of a literally wondrous intent might soothe the fevered brows of the public but remain entirely within the manipulative province of the data managers.

 

 

Guess Who Is NOT "Rotating" Out Of Treasurys

If one reads sellside research (especially that of Bank of America or Goldman), if one listens to comedy-finance fusion TV channels, if one reads newspapers, one can't help but be left with the impression that everyone and their grandmother is now dumping Treasurys and buying stocks. Why - because this is a key part of Bernanke's latest masterplan (which is the same as all his previous "masterplans", which have failed so far about 4 times previously) to force what little retail investing capital is left out there out of the safety of bonds (return of capital), and into stocks (return on capital). The catalyst? This time, for real, central planners will generate enough (controlled) inflation to create losses for anyone holding long duration paper (such as the Fed of course, whose DV01 is the biggest in the history of the world at over $2 billion, but we digress). So just to test whether or not this was indeed the case, we decided to go to the source data for what the smartest money of all is doing: the 20 or so (RIP 21st PD MF Global) primary dealers. After all, if everyone is dumping Treasurys over fears of an imminent surge in yields, and rotating into stocks, it would be them right? Well, the result is charted below: we present it without commentary.

 

 

China: "Rebound Is Based On Stimulus, Not Real Strength"

 

 

Confirming what we all know, here is Bloomberg's "most improved for 2012" (in our humble opinion) commentator, Michael McDonough, on China: "Fiscal stimulus has bought China’s new leadership time to pass critical reforms to spur domestic consumption and rebalance the economy, though there is little room for error. Central banks from U.S. to Japan, through unprecedented levels of quantitative easing, are influencing global markets more than ever. Concerns have arisen over China’s manufacturing sector losing competitiveness; companies including Apple and General Electric have moved some manufacturing lines back to the U.S." The Bloomberg Brief note continues: "Growth in China, which is currently being supported by government fiscal stimulus targeting infrastructure investment, will probably remain between 7.5 and 8 percent. This will buy time for the new leadership to continue with reforms, including interest-rate liberalization, designed to help stoke final demand in China and properly rebalance the nation’s economy."

12-19-12 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  GOP TO TRY PLAN B 12-19-12 Oddly, its Republicans offering a plan to raise taxes but on those with incomes over $1M (vs the WH $400K) and currently does not include spending cuts. The WH immediately stated it would veto this. The bottom line, this is a symbolic gesture since the Senate wont even vote on it according to Harry Reid. The Republican ploy is to say theyve voted to raise taxes on the rich. Then they would allow the country to go over the cliff after transmitting this vote and forcing the WH to own the damage. That must be their thinking. Its a gamble obviously but Boehners base has shown no support for WH plans or to roll over and violate all their principles.This left bulls somewhat shaken as stocks fell sharply after the GOP announcement but there are more rounds left in this stand-off. Stocks were overbought recently and a little rest was in order. In other words, Bulls had taken it as a given the cliff would be avoided. It still may be. Well just have to live with the volatility until a deal is done or not.Housing Starts fell 3% but Building Permits rose 3.6%. The former data point is the more meaningful since some permits will never evolve into a start.GM decided to buy back the shares the government owned at $27.50 yielding taxpayers a nearly 50% loss. Like it or not, thats the math. Bank of America (BAC) has $64 billion of mortgage delinquencies great than 6 months on their booksnearly half of their market cap. This is some of the looking under the hood investors arent spending time on. Those that do like Buffett must believe the Fed will monetize and/or backstop these loans.The bullish case is quite simple: QEternity is flooding markets with liquidity that has few choices for returns beyond stocks.The bearish case is more complex: Global economic data shows a contraction in GDP, commodity demand, earnings and evenues.The dollar (UUP) was weaker as was gold (GLD). Commodities (DBC) were slightly weaker. Bonds (TLT) were stronger. Volume was somewhat lighter than on Tuesdays good rally. Breadth per the WSJ was mixed to negative...

An Hour In The Company Of Kyle Bass

Last year's AmeriCatalyst interview with Kyle Bass provided much more color than the normal 30-second soundbites that we are subjected to when serious hedge fund managers are exposed to mainstream media. This year, Bass was the keynote speaker and in the following speech (followed by Q&A), the fund manager provides 60 minutes of eloquence on the end of the grand experiment and its consequences. From Money Printing and Central Bank Balance sheets to Japan and the psychology of the current situation - which in many cases trumps the quantitative data - the question remains, "when will this unravel" as opposed to "if?"; Bass provides his fact-based heresy against the orthodoxy of economic thought "On The Financial Nature Of Things" extending well beyond his recent note. Must watch (there's no football or X-Factor on tonight).

 

 

 

Who Will Keep The German, And Thus Europe's, Economy Running?

After a significant slowdown in the years before the crisis, Goldman Sachs notes that the number of immigrants coming to Germany is rising strongly again. While it is not clear at this point how sustainable this development is, it will nonetheless help to ease the strains in the German labour market. But, given the underlying demographics, we suspect, like Goldman, that an increase in immigration by itself is unlikely to prevent a meaningful decline in the labour force after 2020. Only a continuous rise in the participation rate can offset these demographic trends.

 

 

Things That Make you Go Hmmm - Such As A Fake Tan... Or A Centrally-Planned Fake Market

Bernanke and his fellow Beltway insiders continue to apply fake tan in an attempt to make the US economy look more healthy than it is, but even though the public has been in love with the bronze monetary sheen that has been sprayed onto a decidedly pasty economy repeatedly since 2008, the backlash is picking up steam and broadening its reach. As Grant Williams discusses in this week's 'Things That Make You Go Hmmm...', from QE4's lack of 'pop' to Foodstamp Nation and the fundamental deterioration in our economy, the divergence between reality and the beauty-is-skin-deep appeal of the markets can only end one way and the earnings picture lights that up better than any other. For a little bit of everything, the newsletter below provides something for everyone.

Sorry (Poor) Kids: The Road From Rags To Riches No Longer Passes Through College

... at least statistically speaking. Yes, outlier cases will always exist and there will always be a rags to Geology 101 to riches story somewhere, but as the following fascinating and very much damning (the entire higher learning industry of the US) diagram from Reuters demonstrates, colleges, in their once vaunted role of a "great equalizer for the classes" as defined over a century ago by Horace Mann, no longer exist.What does the above chart imply? Nothing more than that for the vast majority of people, college degrees are the modern-day equivalent of very, very expensive snake oil. Yes: colleges are sold to you as the critical stepping stone on the path to wealth and prosperity, but sadly the empirical evidence demonstrates that when it comes to an actual, demonstrable income effect, only the wealthiest people actually benefit from a degree! The lowest fifth of household by income see their change in income decline by 10%, while the middle fifth sees an incremental 2.1% drop. Where do incomes rise? When you are already wealthy and belong to the highest fifth of households by income: there, going to college boosts your income by an additional 15.1%

 

 

 

Theater-Off: Stocks Slump Most In 5 Weeks As Bipolar Market Forgets Its Lithium

It's rather ridiculous that today's sell-off of around 0.6% (in the S&P) is the largest plungefest in five weeks. Volumes were high, though not as high as yesterday's with average trade size also relatively high. S&P futures peaked right before the US day-session open today and dropped all day long (with a slight bump higher into the European close) retracing most of yesterday's gains with decent blocks going through in the last few minutes push to lows. VIX led the weakness all day and stocks' selling pressure ignored relative underperformance in Treasuries (yields ended the day around unch), modest USD weakness close-to-close (though the day session saw USD strength return), and a spike in WTI (+3.1% on the week). Even trying to lever HYG didn't work to keep stocks up today. Gold and silver cliff-ledged early but gold recovered and stabilized while Silver slid to lows of the day (-3.5% on the week). Trading was relatively orderly until the last few minutes which saw a typical push for VWAP fail and the sell orders piled up into the close (and beyond in futures).

 

 

Morgan Stanley Redeems Paulson Investments: Explanation For Recent Gold Liquidation?

In key news that may well be the missing puzzle piece to explain some of the very odd market moves in the past week, we just learned courtesy of CNBC, that Morgan Stanley's Wealth platform unit has finally, after months and months of considerations, pulled the plug on the fund that for the second year in a row is one of the three worst performing in the weekly HSBC report and is now redeeming. That in itself is not unexpected. What however is notable is that MS withdrawing hundreds of millions in feeder capital may well explain why gold has seen such a dramatic dislocation in the past week. Recall that at Paulson & Co, gold is not simply an investment - the bulk of direct gold investments at the once legendary investor are in the form of (largely underperforming) gold mining stocks - but an actual investment class. In other words, instead of being denominated in USD, investors are actually denominated in (paper) gold, with a fixed conversion into GLD at inception. This means that upon liquidation of gold-denominated shares, any gold-denominated shares, he has no choice but to sell GLD, and by virtue of this being the most liquid paper instrument in the PM space, gold. Does the massive gold dislocation in the chart below now make more sense especially since Paulson was aware of MS' intentions days in advance and traded, or in this case liquidated, appropriately)?

 

 

Pump-And-Dump Beats Buy-And-Hold In The New Normal IPO Market

In today's 'fast money'-inspired, everyone's-a-winner, there's-a-bull-market-somewhere world of investing, the old school remains stoic in their buy-and-hold mantra that the Fed has your back and over the long-term retirement is assured and 'holding-hands as you walk along golden beaches with your loved one' is a mere few percent of your salary tithed away every month away... Well, sorry to steal the jam from their donut, but across a massive 568 IPOs in the last few years, Bloomberg's Chart of the Day shows that, in fact, buying and dumping within one-day is massively more profitable than buying-and-holding in the new 'capitalism'. As the mainstream media can't help but notice every uptick in China's share prices as a sign that all-is-well in the world, the local fund managers live by a different meme: "Its weird that in China the longer you hold new shares, the bigger losses youll take."

 

 

Guest Post: Global Economic Slowdown Signals Sad New Year

The markets, as most people reading this should now well know, no longer reflect in any way the true economic health of our country.  If one was to measure the financial recovery of this nation by the strength of global stocks alone, he would probably come to the conclusion that the collapse of 2008 was a mere hiccup in the overall success of the worldwide economic system.  However, electronically traded equities with little more to back their value than scraps of receipt paper and numbers on a screen have no bearing on what is going to happen to you, and to me, over the course of the coming year.  The stock market is a sideshow, a popcorn movie, a façade.  The real drama is going on behind the scenes and revealed in fundamentals that mainstream analysts no longer discuss...

Housing Starts, Permits Unimpressive, Saved By "South" Surge

There was little excitement in today's November housing starts and permits numbers, the first of which missed expectations of 872K modestly, and was down from 894K to 861K on a seasonally adjusted, annualized basis (64.6K unadjusted, non-annualized, the lowest since March; the Northeast unadjusted print was 25% lower than a year ago!). The prior two months were also revised lower from from 863K and 894K to 843K and 888K. On the other hand, permits which are nothing more than an opportunity cost fee for an application filed with the local housing office, rose from 868K to 899K. Curiously enough, this was the one series that was supposed to benefit from Sandy, as builders would step up reconstruction efforts in the hurricane impact areas. Alas, that did not happen, in the impacted Northeast Region, as both Starts (73K) and Permits (76K) came at multi month lows (in the case of permits, this was the lowest print of all of 2012). What did drive housing starts and permits? The "South" where both categories saw the respective data prints jump to the highest since 2008. The same south which was promptly featured in our "Interactive Guide to the Housing Recovery." The housing bubble is back in full force.

 

 

Uncle Sam Books 50% Loss As Government Motors Buys Back 200MM Shares From Tim Geithner

A few days after divesting its stake in the firm that started it all, AIG, and at a profit at that (ignoring that the risk has merely been onboarded by the Fed whose DV01 is now $2+ billion as a result), the US Treasury continues to divest of all its bailout stake, this time proceeding to GM, where the channel stuffing firm just announced it would buyback 200MM shares from the US government at a price of $27.50. More importantly, the "Treasury said it intends to sell its other remaining 300.1 million shares through various means in an orderly fashion within the next 12-15 months, subject to market conditions. Treasury intends to begin its disposition of those 300.1 million common shares as soon as January 2013 pursuant to a pre-arranged written trading plan. The manner, amount, and timing of the sales under the plan are dependent upon a number of factors." Assuming a price in the $27.50 range, this implies a nearly 50% loss on the government's breakeven price of $54. So much for the "profit" spin. One hopes all those Union votes were well worth the now booked $40+ billion cost to all taxpayers.

 

 

Six Month + Delinquent Mortgages Amount To More Than Half Of Bank of America's Market Cap

For those curious why many people are scratching their heads how the market cap of Bank of America has nearly doubled in the past year, here it is: "Bank of America Corp. has amassed $64 billion of mortgages that are at least six months delinquent and have yet to enter foreclosure, more than twice the amount held by its four largest competitors combined." $64 billion is more than half the market cap of Bank of America as of this moment.

Jeff Gundlach On The Fiscal Cliff Circus And Why Investors Should Hold Cash Through 2013

From the sheer hypocrisy of a fight over a few billion dollars when faced with trillion dollar deficits and the eventual austerity that will be forced upon the US, DoubleLine's Jeff Gundlach expounds during this excellent Bloomberg TV interview on his growing concerns at markets where fundamentals "are trumped by policy decisions," and while he does not believe that bond markets are bubbly at the moment, the impact of an inevitable recession could be devastating given valuations. His subtle suggestion to keep powder dry through 2013 and into 2014 (as deploying money at that future point will make all the difference), follows from his view that he does not see much value in US equities (people always want investments to go up like a line... That's just not reality) and suggests great care be taken in US bond markets (focusing on low volatility funds) as he looks at Japan's dismal record (and hyperinflationary possibilities) and reflects on the US that "the issue isn't the fiscal cliff. The issue is the fiscal crisis that the United States has been looking at for the past several years." Must watch.

Chart Of The Day: The Death Of America's Middle Class

There is one chart that everyone should see that is part of Reuters' must read special series: The Unequal State of America: Redistributing Up - it is the chart we have said over the past 4 years is the only one that matters for America - that showing the flattening of America's wealth distributon Gaussian curve, aka the plunder and accelerating destruction of America's middle class, at their expense benefiting the poorest and the wealthiest. This is nothing but the inevitable outcome of a co-opted, conflicted and controlled marionette government, which does the bidding of the wealthiest lobby powers (read corporate shareholders and Wall Street), partitioning the bulk of the wealth to the richest, while sending the scraps to the poorest in order to keep itself in power due to the power of the ever poorer, democratic majority. Alas, since there is never a free lunch, and since the Fed does not create wealth but through its currency debasement merely accelerates the transfer of wealth, someone ends up footing the bill? Who? None other than that part of the US population which made the United States of America the greatest country in the world, and is now watching it implode first slowly, then fast.

Guest Post: Why Things Are Falling Apart... And What We Can Do About It

To understand the reasons why our financial system, our economy and our present policies are unsustainable, we need to come to grips with two simple truths. First, the economy and government are an interconnected system. As such the party attempting to steer it does not have controlling power over it. The second fact is that faster, better, cheaper always wins, replacing the inefficient and unsustainable. This is the reality within which the system operates. The present foundation of the system, and our economy, is Financialization. This is not by design but rather by Darwinian evolution. It has unfortunately, become the basic engine of consumer growth through its' leveraging of collateral into debt and phantom assets, such as derivatives and bubble valuations. The limiting fact to this system is that ever-rising debt and leverage is unsustainable, once household assets and incomes stop rising.

 

 

Saxo Bank's 10 Outrageous Predictions For 2013

Our biggest concern here on the cusp of 2013 is the current odd combination of extreme complacency about the risks presented by extend-and-pretend macro policy making and rapidly accelerating social tensions that could threaten political and eventually financial market stability. Before everyone labels us doomers and pessimists, let us point out that, economically, we already have wartime financial conditions: the debt burden and fiscal deficits of the western world are at levels not seen since the end of World War II. We may not be fighting in the trenches, but we may soon be fighting in the streets. To continue with the current extend-and-pretend policies is to continue to disenfranchise wide swaths of our population - particularly the young - those who will be taking care of us as we are entering our doddering old age. We would not blame them if they felt a bit less than generous. The macro economy has no ammunition left for improving sentiment. We are all reduced to praying for a better day tomorrow, as we realise that the current macro policies are like pushing on a string because there is no true price discovery in the market anymore. We have all been reduced to a bunch of central bank watchers, only ever looking for the next liquidity fix, like some kind of horde of heroin addicts. We have a pro forma capitalism with de facto market totalitarianism. Can we have our free markets back please?

 

 

Gun Sales Soar In Aftermath Of Newtown Killings

As so often happens when dealing with the fickle public, the aftermath of the news of the second worst school massacre in US history has led to precisely the opposite outcome to the one desired by the media and at least part of the general population. Because in the backlash for gun control at its tamest, and against weapon ownership of any kind at its most rabid, driven primarily by those who don't own weapons, everyone else decided to think one step ahead and preempt what may soon be yet another governmental subjugation of a constitutional amendment. The result? An absolute surge in weapon sales in the days following last Friday's tragedy.

Cramer's TheStreet.com Charged With Accounting Fraud

Counterparties Mad Money Securities and Exchange Commission

Over two years ago, while scouring through TheStreet.com's filing we stumbled upon something interesting: "As a result of the need for the Company and its independent registered public accounting firm to focus attention on matters related to the Company's previously-announced review of the accounting in its former Promotions.com subsidiary, which subsidiary the Company sold in December 2009 -- including matters related to the preparation and filing by the Company in February 2010 of a Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008, a Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2009, respectively, and matters related to an investigation commenced by Securities and Exchange Commission in March 2010 -- the Company requires additional time  to prepare its financial statements, assess its internal controls and file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 ("2009 Form 10-K")." Oops. We can't wait to see how Mr. Cramer will explain to the Mad Money faithful this particular twist on the hangover of the show's five year birthday bash. Also, we wonder if CNBC will finally cancel the ludicrous Jim "truth" Cramer campaign once this news breaks. We doubt it- in the quest for evaporating eyeballs, all is fair." This was in April 2010. Today, we got resolution on the matter, as the SEC finally has put the matter to close.

 

 

Deja Vu All Over Again

Across many of the desks we hear from there is a distinct feeling of incredulity at the moves in the last week or two. Bullish or bearish, it seems the velocity and scale of the runaway moves after every utterance from D.C. has wrong-footed many across every asset class. However, one thing remains constant, a very strange case of deja vu all over again with last year's market and macro-economic behavior. The following two charts are showing spooky similarities between this year's 'fiscal cliff' hopes and fears and last year's 'debt ceiling' ecstasy and anxiety. Perhaps it will be useful to all those claiming that the market efficiently predicts a resolution - it might be useful to temper that enthusiasm given the moves we saw last year and the market's clear ignorance.

 

 

Who Needs Global Trade Anyway: FedEx Shipments Imply Subzero GDP

With the entire "market" a synthetic algo-traded derivative (and facilitated by the fat pipe between Liberty 33 and Citadel) reflecting merely where the ES and VIX trades, and completely ignoring such trivial things as underlying corporate cash flows (see next post on market performance vs earnings) or GDP, concerns about fundamentals have become a total joke. This is obviously exacerbated by such "extenuating" circumstances as tropical storms which are designed to make any negative data irrelevant. Of course, for those still curious about such old school metrics as actual economic performance, untainted by Fed intervention (such as $85 billion in offsetting flow per month), here is one chart, showing the correlation between total FedEx package shipments and Real GDP. And no, sorry, you can't blame this one on Sandy, on the Cliff, or any of the other spin talking points. From Bloomberg: "The level of FedEx package shipments began to slump as early as the first quarter of 2012 and now appears to be signaling weaker economic conditions for 2013. In late March, FedEx made mention of cooling conditions, with CFO Alan Graf noting the economy was not as strong as  the company hoped it would be a year earlier. According to Fred Smith, FedEx CEO, “Fundamentally, what’s happening is that exports around the world have contracted and the policy choices in Europe and the United States and China are having an effect on global trade."

 

 

 

Spanish Bad Loans At New Record, Deteriorate At Fastest Pace Since June

For the green-shoot-minded, last month's albeit record high Spanish bank loan delinquencies was occurring as its first derivative was slowing. Well dash those hopes as this month sees bad loans not only rise to record highs (above 11% for the first time in history) but the pace of this drastic deterioration accelerated at the fastest pace since June. We are sure somewhere a Spanish finance minister is eschewing the 2nd or 3rd derivative as an indication that the worst is over but reality is that as FROB proudly notes the number of banks who have invested in its bad bank - in a strange and twistedly ironic reacharound whereby the bad banks themselves (all domestic, no foreign, Santander 16% stake!) are buying up the assets of the nation's bad banks - the sheer size and scale of this level of bad loan and deterioration (double in two years) is far beyond anything the sovereign's bad bank is prepared for. Of course, none of that matters as Draghi's magical OMT remains the ultimate backstop to any reality emerging. Spain - getting worse, faster.

12-17-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  CLIFF NEGOTIATIONS CONTINUE  12-17-12  Bullish investors have a hair-trigger regarding any deal relating to the fiscal cliff. They presume a deal will be had around terms including higher taxes on the rich (loosely defined by $250K-$1M in income) and a concession to include entitlement spending reductions probably focused on social security. If agreed to this should provide a relief rally that may last through the holidays. Given this deal really only fixes deficit and debt conditions around the edges perhaps in early 2013 the rally will be undone. In other words, after year-end bonuses are paid to portfolio managers reality may bite after a brief honeymoon. Lingering under cliff news economic data remains poor. Monday the Empire State Mfg Survey laid an egg (-8.1 vs 0 expected & prior -5.5) as manufacturing ex-autos remains weak. A quick look at a combination of economic data below makes a weak economic picture more believable.

http://albertpeia.com/daveschart121712no1.gif

Beyond all of this is what the Fed wants you to dobuy stocks. After all, theyre providing nearly $100 billion a month in QE activity. This money will find its way into markets and will force you to buy stocks even if you dont want to. Why? Because the alternatives are negative yields in bonds and sideline cash.The same holds true with other central banks in Europe and Asia as its raining fiat currencies.Not to be outdone, Japans election provided a large win for the LDP led by the conservative Shinzo Abe where economic recovery and overcoming deflation are top priorities. This means more stimulus and a much weaker yen as John Mauldin explains well-enough in this video and article. Yet theres one thing Abe or anyone can do anything about and thats poor demographics with an aging population and massive debt. Perhaps the investment strategy will evolve to a short yen/long EWJ position. Weve already gone through one round of profitable trading short yen (YCS). But, now the yen is much oversold and short positions are now at record levels. A sharp short squeeze could occur at any moment.What could go wrong with this scenario? Markets and bond vigilantes could balk at buying more debt even as central banks print money to support deficits thru QE. The disaster scenario for all developed countries would be if interest rates rose given massive debt levels.Stocks rallied sharply once the WH agreed to consider some changes to social security and/or other entitlement changes giving investors the idea a deal is close. Even if a handshake deal is made Boehner and Obama must sell the deal to their respective base. Financials (XLF) led the charge higher along with real estate sectors (IYR) (ITB) (RWX) as theyre perceived as beneficiaries of the Fed liquidity deluge. Bonds (TLT) saw selling as stocks rose and Treasury auctions were weakly received. Meanwhile as stocks were gaining strength gold (GLD) was unresponsive in a risk on environment. The dollar (UUP) was flat and commodities (DBC) overall were flat. Volume was modest and only picked-up after a more conciliatory WH response on cliff. Breadth per the WSJ was quite positive…’

Charting US Debt And Deficit Since Inception

In the recent aftermath of the US just concluding its fourth consecutive fiscal year with a $1 trillion+ deficit, we have been flooded with requests to show how the current fiscal situation stacks up in a big picture context. Very big picture context. For all those requests, we present the following chart showing total US Federal debt/GDP as well as Deficit/(Surplus)/GDP since inception, or in this case as close as feasible, or 1792, which appears to be the first recorded year of historical fiscal data. We can see why readers have been so eager to see the "real big picture" - the chart is nothing short of stunning.

Did we just kill a kid? he asked the man sitting next to him. Yeah, I guess that was a kid, the pilot replied. Was that a kid? they wrote into a chat window on the monitor. Then, someone they didnt know answered, someone sitting in a military command center somewhere in the world who had observed their attack. No. That was a dog, the person wrote. They reviewed the scene on video. A dog on two legs? The above article is a must read for every American citizen, particularly those that get up in arms about domestic gun control, but never think twice about the horror caused by our foreign policy, which regularly murders innocent children overseas.

 

 

Latest "Grand Bargain" Compromise Shifts 'Rich' Threshold

The rumor mill on unnamed sources and strawmen is full tonight with Reuters, Bloomberg, and WaPo all reporting on a new new deal from Obama that 'meets the Republicans more than halfway' apparently. The crux appears to be a $1.2tn tax increase (over 10 years of course) thanks to higher rates on households earning over $400k (up from his original $250k but below Boehner's $1mm) and $930bn in spending reductions, including the much-discussed 'accounting' gimmick of cost-of-living-adjustments (and unChained CPI - see below) in Social Security. The offer also has a 'debt ceiling' proviso to increase the borrowing capability for two years via McConnell's proposal. S&P futures got a lift from this great 'austerity' news (that will perplex the Keynesians) but seemingly got most of the excitement out of the way this afternoon.

 

 

GE's Jeff Immelt: "We've Definitely Seen A Slowdown In The Fourth Quarter"

In what is likely the fist major under the radar profit warning of the current quarter, GE chief, and Obama Job Tzar, Jeff Immelt warned during GE's annual outlook meeting held earlier in Manhattan that the "economic uncertainty" in the current quarter has resulted in an investment "pause" that has resulted in a slowdown of corporate sales. Put into numbers, GE is now calling for about 8% growth this year, from a 10% forecast barely two months ago. Read: Q4 sales, and thus earnings, are set to be a major disappointment. And while no superstorms were blamed in this particular sales warning, the fiscal cliff did feature prominently. As the WSJ reports, "[Immelt] said ongoing jitters over the so-called "fiscal cliff" of tax increases and government spending cuts contributed to the trend." Then again, it is just as likely that the tapped out US consumer, whose savings rate is tumbling, whose real disposable income is now declining on a year over year basis, and whose real wage growth is decidedly negative, would be tapped out even if Obama and Boehner were not playing constant cat and mouse. But whatever the reason for the slowdown may be, one thing is certain: "Clearly, there has been an investment pause in certain industries," Mr. Immelt said. "We've definitely seen a slowdown in the fourth quarter." Bring on the spin brigade.

State Communism's Newest (public) Advocate: Jeff Immelt Posted by: CrownThomas  Post date: 12/17/2012 - "the one thing that actually works, you know, state run communism may not be your cup of tea, but their government works.

Actually, GE has been a ‘connected government enterprise’ for quite some time. Indeed, as a point of fact, I drove down to D.C. for what was to be my first patent filing some decades ago. No sooner had I entered ‘Washington, D.C. proper’, I was stopped on the highway by (I think) Washington, D.C. police. After they checked, ran my ID, license, etc.., they said follow us … so I did. Then, after parking, walking toward the ‘patent building/address’, I was approached by a man who identified himself as a GE employee who asked (he probably already knew) where I was going and volunteered to show me the way (which he did). The veiled message was clear (previous times I had gone to D.C. on business, ie., Williams & Connolly firm, Acacia Life Insurance Co., and flown, and had no such similar experience).  Guest Post: The Audacity of Bonuses At MF GlobalIn the spirit of George Orwell’s Animal Farm commandment: “all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal then others” comes the galling news that bankruptcy trustee, Louis Freeh, could approve the defunct, MF Global to pay bonuses to certain senior executives.

Guest Post: Hey You

The world makes less sense every day. Little children are randomly slaughtered in their schoolrooms. Corrupt, bought off politicians pander to the lowest common denominator as their votes are only dependent upon who contributed the most to their election campaigns, which never end. Delusional, materialistic, egocentric, math challenged consumers (formerly known as citizens) live for today, enslave themselves in debt, vote themselves more entitlements, and care not for future generations. The alienation and isolation created by our sprawling, automobile dependent, technology obsessed, government controlled, debt financed society has spread like a cancerous tumor, slowly killing our country. The oligarchs will not give up without a fight. Their realization that the Brave New World method of controlling the masses has run its course has convinced them to shift their methods towards Orwells 1984 tactics.

 

 

Volatility Hammered As Stocks And Bond Yields Close At Highs

For anyone watching the last hour or two of today's market, there was plenty to entertain. VXX (the implied vol ETF) collapsed in a haze of glory dragging stocks to the highs of the day with financials seeing their best day in three months. Treasury yields, Gold, and Stocks have all recoupled from the election and perhaps that is what this bond weakness is related to (as for example LQD fell to 3 month lows today, while HYG remains close to record highs). Stocks closed at Thursday's highs amid heavy and large size trades - the vertical rampathon (or inverse Baumgartnering) suggests a quiet market desparate to auction to stops. The USD ended unch, as did Gold while 30Y added 8bps as testicular fortitude appeared under pressure today. Perhaps Citi should downgrade AAPL every day? Today's #Teppergasm (h/t @gubbmintcheese) saw the NASDAQ back to unchanged for December and Citi up a measly 13.3%.

 

 

San Fran Fed Reminds Everyone Why Fed Forecasts Are A Joke

Moments ago, the San Fran Fed, best known for spending taxpayer money to conduct such indepth analyses on topics including whether water is wet, and whether the Fed creates bubbles, has just released its most recent 'FedViews' economic outlook in which we read that "we expect growth to steadily accelerate in 2013 as the economy bounces back from harsh weather conditions and as the underlying expansion of consumer spending reemerges. We expect growth to register 1.7% in 2012 and 2.6% in 2013." This would be great if only a two minute Google search did not expose some of the San Fran Fed's previous attempts at forecasting the future, such as this one from October 14, 2010, in which the crack experts said that "we currently project that real GDP will  expand around 2˝% in 2010, below its potential of about 3% annually. We expect the recovery to gain momentum over the course of next year and that real GDP growth for 2011 will reach about 3˝%." Final 2011 GDP growth: 2.4%.... or this one from June 9, 2011, in which we learned that "growth should rebound in the third quarter. We expect GDP to expand at an annualized 3˝% rate in the second half of the year and to continue to strengthen throughout 2012." Final 2012 GDP growth: 1.8%. Or just 50% off. Applying the same undershoot error rate to the Fed's 2013 forecast means that real economic growth next year will be at best 1.3%. And that's with a fresh $1 trillion in monetary injections from the Fed.

 

 

36 UBS Bankers To Be Implicated In Liborgate, Criminal Charges To Be Filed

As the fallout of Liborgate escalates, the next big bank to be impacted in the fallout started by Barclays civil settlement "revelation" is set to be troubled UBS, already some 10,000 bankers lighter, where as many as three dozen bankers are reported by the implicated in the fixing of the rate that until 2009 was the most important for hundreds of trillions in variable rate fixed income products. Only instead of attacking the US or even European jurisdiction, where the next big settlement is set to hit is Japan: a country whose regulators as recently as half a year ago promised there were no major issues with Libor, or Tibor as it is locally known, rate fixings. And while this most recent development will have little material impact on UBS' ongoing business model, the one difference from previous settlements is that it will likely include criminal charges lobbed against some of the 36 bankers. From the FT: "UBS is close to finalising a deal with UK, US and Swiss authorities in which the bank will pay close to $1.5bn and its Japanese securities subsidiary will plead guilty to a US criminal offence. Terms of the guilty plea were still being negotiated, one person familiar with the matter said on Monday, adding that the bank will not lose its ability to conduct business in Japan. The pact between the bank and the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, US Department of Justice, UKs Financial Services Authority and UBSs main Swiss supervisor Finma is expected to be announced on Wednesday, although last minute negotiations continue."

 

 

Santelli And Schiff On Bernanke's "Roach Motel Of Monetary Policy"

From the government-induced structural unemployment malaise to the implosion of our entire 'artificial economy', Peter Schiff and Rick Santelli explore the dark side of monetary policy in this brief clip. On the Fed's new policy and potential exit strategy, Schiff notes that "the Fed is constructing goalposts so it never actually hits them; the Fed is never going to tighten." While Santelli tends to agree with Schiff on the eventual collapse of the USD under this never-ending Fed easing scenario, he notes that getting a fix on that USD weakness is hard given everyone is racing to debase. Schiff notes, oil prices, gold prices, food inflation, and real assets all send the signal that Bernanke chooses to ignore and on the topic of 'monetization' which Bernanke seemed so 'put off' by during the press conference last week, Sch-antelli both seemingly (obviously) conclude that the mere mention of an exit at some point in the future by the great and powerful Oz does not preclude the fact that 90% of current Treasury issuance ends up on the Fed's books... leaving the fact that selling any of this "would make 2008 look like a Sunday picnic."

 

 

Albert Edwards: Something Bad Happened In November"

 “Something bad happened in November…and it wasn’t merely Hurricane Sandy”, the NFIB chief economist Bill Dunkelberg is quoted as saying - see chart below and link. Even scarier than the decline in the headline measure was the 37% slump to an all-time low in those firms who believe economic conditions will improve over the next six months. That 37% drop is twice the previous record 18% decline, which occurred in the immediate aftermath of the Lehman’s collapse (see chart below). For those who might immediately retort that this is a sentiment indicator that should be used as a contrary indicator - you are wrong. It is a good leading or at worst coincident indicator. I would say this datum is more than consistent with the recession that Lakshman Achuthan of the ECRI has been warning of, wouldn't you?

 

 

Projected Corporate Margin Expectations Dip To 7 Month Lows

Buried in the Empire Fed manufacturing data is the forward expectations for Prices Paid and Prices Received. Taken together, somewhat obviously, they reflect businesses views of their margin expectations for the future. For seven of the last nine years, this future margin expectation has risen from mid-year into the end of the year (whether hope-driven or real fundamentals is unclear), but this year, the picture is very different. For the first time since 2007, future margin expectations have plunged into year-end as expectations for prices-paid have notably risen relative to expectations for prices received. Though the sample is small, the last time we saw such a huge divergence from the seasonal tendency for margin expectations was followed by an equity market reaction many would prefer not to remember.

 

 

Empire Fed Misses, Prints Negative For Fifth Consecutive Month, Hopium Rise Continues

Whereas last month's negative print in the Empire Fed index (which beat expectations), was attributed to Sandy, it will be difficult to see what attribute can be blamed for this month's major miss, in which the NY Fed just disclosed a -8.1 General Business Conditions update, down from -5.22, and below expectations of -1. This was the fifth consecutive month in which the index has printed negative, and the 6th miss of the past 9 reports. The new orders index dropped to -3.7 from +3.08, while the shipments index declined six points to 8.8. At 16.1, the prices paid index indicated that input prices continued to rise at a moderate pace, while the prices received index fell five points to 1.1, suggesting that selling prices were flat. Bad news for anyone that needs positive margins (i.e. everyone). But that's ok, because the Hopium index, i.e., the Six Month Ahead index, which is the only thing those who fail to see what Bernanke's just announced $1 trillion injection means for the economy have to fall back on, rose from 12.88 to 18.66. So it is all about the future, forget the present, but whatever you do, don't look at the forward Prices Paid indicator which soared to 52, the highest since May: surely NY corporations are optimistic due to the fact that they can now kiss margins goodbye for at least half a year.

12-14-12  Newtown, CT Elementary School Shooting Tally Rises To 27 Dead, Of Whom 20 Children - Live Video

Update 3: Adam had Aseprger Syndrome - a high functioning form of autism. In other words, watch as the debate rages over the traditional bogeyman of gun control, in a country with over three hundred million weapons, when we may well simply be talking about a mentally ill young adult.

Update 2 : NY Post now refuting CNN's initial report, and stating that the shooter's real name is Adam Lanza, not Ryan Lanza, who is instead brother of the latter. At this point there appears to be a ridiculous amount of confusion who did what, so it perhaps would be prudent on behalf of the authorities to double check this information before releasing it to the media.

Update: According to CNN the shooter's name is Ryan Lanza, out of New Jersey. Based on a White Pages reverse lookup there is an 18-24 year old Ryan Lanza living in Hoboken, NJ whose FaceBook profile lists Newtown, CT as his home city. Whether it is the same person remains to be confirmed officially.

Sadly, increasingly it appears that not a day, and certainly not a week can pass, in the US without news of some mass killing somewhere. Several days ago its was a mall in Oregon, and today it is a shooting rampage at the Sandy Hook Elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut. Here is what is known: the shooter, who CBS reports is a 20 year old from New Jersey, is reported to be dead. According to CBS 27 people are dead, of whom 18, Connecticut Post 27 people are dead, of whom 27 tragically, children. Among the dead are the principal and the school psychologist.

There Go Apple's Margins: iPhone 5 To Sell At Wal-Mart For A Third Off Original Price

Remember when less than brisk sales of the iPhone 5 after it was first unveiled (to the usual fawning media Borg collective ooh-ing and aah-ing) were blamed on "supply issues" even as "reputable" Wall Street analysts conducted channel checks which foretold of epic holiday sales and massive pent up demand. As it turns out the only commodity in short supply was, well, demand, particularly that coming from consumers, very much as we predicted during the last earnings report (which was merely the latest consecutive earnings miss in a row). And, as Reuters reports with its Friday night bombshell report, Apple has finally thrown in the towel on pretending there is a supply shortage and admitted there is simply not enough demand at the given price point, by proceeding to sell the margin flagship iPhone 5 at a third off the original price, at the bargain basement commodity expert Wal-Mart of all places. And not only the iPhone, but the Ipad too (we have no idea which generation is the latest one: the iPad 3, the New iPad, the iPad 4s, the iPad Mini, the MAXiPad, etc...) And just like that, the "niche premium" magic of the once uber-cool gizmo is gone, not to mention AAPL's profit margins, very much as the stock price has been sensing over the past two months, during which time it lobbed off some $150 billion in market cap. And with the reflexivity of fad-ness, as long as the price of the stock is soaring for whatever reason, interest and demand in the product remains at virtually any cost. Sadly for AAPL bulls, the opposite is also true, as is being witnessed right about now.

 

 

QE 4: Folks, This Ain't Normal - What You Need To Know About The Fed's Latest Move

Okay, the Fed's recent decision to boost its monetary stimulus (a.k.a. "money printing," "quantitative easing," or simply "QE") by another $45 billion a month to a combined $85 billion per month demonstrates an almost complete departure from what a normal person might consider sensible.

To borrow a phrase from Joel Salatin: Folks, this ain't normal.  To this I will add ...and it will end badly.

Our markets are now truly broken; they don't send accurate price signals anymore

Markets are now just a giant and rigged casino, where a relative handful of big firms and other tightly coupled players are gaming their orders to take advantage of this flood of money

Expect the Fed balance sheet to quickly expand by an additional $3-4 trillion, resulting in runaway inflation and a possible currency crisis

 

 

The Old Normal: Presenting 140 Years Of Market Cycles

Edson Gould, deceased author of the once-famous Findings & Forecasts investment newsletter often said that "History always repeats, only the details change". This insight, a handful of carefully chosen technical indicators, and a deep understanding of crowd psychology enabled him to make some remarkable calls during his career. The graphic below, courtesy of Addogram, plots Gould's "Sentimeter" ("the market price of $1 of dividends") the inverse of the US 10-year Treasury yield, the gold price and an index of commodity prices. Needless to say he was quite right; "History always repeats, only the details change".

On The Under-Represented American Citizen

Having just undergone the Presidential election and the democratic right of every citizen to vote and have their voice heard, we thought it interesting that of the world's major nations, the US citizen is in fact the second worst represented when it comes to government. The Chinese citizen, empirically at least, has a fractionally greater weight in their politician's actions. Only in India does each politician represent more of the nation's citizens. How long before we hear the chants of "Over-Taxed And Under-Represented"?

 

Trannies Soar, Rest Hit Floor With USD Down 1%

The last time the USD closed down (DXY -1%) on the week, and so did stocks (Dow/S&P/Nasdaq -0.25%), was the week heading into QE3 which marked the top of the US equity market for the year. With contracts rolling, the futures were roiling into the close as they were ping-ponged between new week lows and VWAP. The Dow Transports stood alone in their outperformance +1.1% (but were sliding rapidly into the close) and while most sectors were weak (Discretionary worst -1.2%), Materials outperformed (+1.66%) in a world of their own today. Silver slumped 2.4% on the week while Oil added 1% with gold flatlining since yesterday morning down around 0.5% on the week. AAPL, obviously, was the story today -7.75% in last 3 days to 10 month lows on huge volume today. EUR strength (+1.75%) dragged USD lower but was stymied by JPY weakness (-1.25%) as Treasury yields came off the week's highs to end 7-9bps higher on the week. VIX at two-week highs closed above Europe for the first time this year. Some peculiar volume and behavior in bond ETFs to note also (HYG saw biggest 2-day drop in a month) - markets feel very brittle up here.

 

 

Daily US Opening News And Market Re-Cap: December 14

Overnight the Shanghai Composite index rose 4.3%, marking its biggest advance since October 2009, supported by the latest HSBC flash manufacturing PMI which came in at 50.9 vs Exp. 50.8 (Prev. 50.5) 14-month high, and with hopes for supportive policy direction to come out of this weekends central economic work conference where Chinese leaders will look to set next years GDP target and layout more information on policy for urbanisation. As such WTI crude has been trending higher since the Asia session testing around the USD 87.00 to the upside with close to a 1 USD gains ahead of the NYMEX pit open. In terms of Europe, bund volumes have been light as markets head closer toward the Christmas break with European manufacturing and service PMIs having little sustained impact with Italian and Spanish 10yr government bond yield spreads over German bunds seen 2.5bps and 3.5bps tighter respectively. Elsewhere, in the FX market there has been talk of US names selling 1 week 25 delta risk reversals in positioning ahead of this weekends Japanese elections.

 

 

 

The Queen Of England Asks Economists Why Did Nobody Notice?

Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip visited the Bank of Englands gold vault and wonders like most people how the things got so bad.   Back in 2008, when the monarch visited the London School of Economics she described the credit crunch as awful. .  Fast forward to 2012, the heart of Europes  4 year-old debt crisis while the Queen of England hears a financial expert compare the debt crisis to a flu epidemic or an earthquake, as hard to predict. This comparison is truly patronizing and an insult to the Queens intelligence. Although I am not English have some respect for your elders, especially your Queen, Britons!  Pensioners in England can recall hard times during the World War when items like sugar were a luxury.  In this new era of credit you have people complaining if they cant borrow to have their new BMW financed to match their Cotswolds country house or Spanish holiday home. The Queen was informed that since financial risk has been managed better (need we mention Libor?) than it was in the past, people became complacent.  She smiled and said, But people had got a bit...lax, had they?  Her Royal Highness also suggested that the Financial Services Authority may not have been hard-line enough in its policing. She said: The Financial Services what do they call themselves, the regulators Authority, which was really quite new … it didnt have any teeth. Its rather ironic that the tour showed the gold vault since a good portion of the UK gold reserves were sold off from 1999-2002, when gold prices were at their lowest in 20 years. 

 

 

Good Cop Time: The Fed's Voting Voice Of Reason Explains His Objection To QE4EVA

The Richmond Fed's Jeffrey Lacker, a 2012 voting member of the FOMC, who has so far been the sole objector to the Fed's policy of exiting a hole by continuing to dig deeper, has released his traditional "good cop" response to Bernanke's QE4EVA plan. The highlights: "I disagreed with the Committees decision to continue purchasing additional assets to stimulate the economy. With economic activity growing at a modest pace and inflation fluctuating close to 2 percent the Committees inflation goal further monetary stimulus runs the risk of raising inflation and destabilizing inflation expectations....Deliberately tilting the flow of credit to one particular economic sector is an inappropriate role for the Federal Reserve....I have dissented previously against the use of date-based forward guidance, and I supported the decision to drop such language at the December meeting....monetary policy has only a limited ability to reduce unemployment, and such effects are transitory and generally short-lived. Moreover, a single indicator cannot provide a complete picture of labor market conditions. Therefore, I do not believe that tying the federal funds rate to a specific numerical threshold for unemployment is an appropriate and balanced approach to the FOMCs price stability and maximum employment mandates." Of course, his objection is duly noted, and summarily rejected and forgotten.

12-13-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  MORNING AFTER REALITY CHECK 12-13-12 Its alleged that pro-tax the rich promoter Warren Buffetts transaction with a massive Berkshire (BRK/A) buyback was a conspiracy to help the seller with estate taxes before the fiscal cliff. Thats what some conflicted people do vs what they say. Jobless Claims fell substantially (343K vs 370K expected & prior revised higher to 372K). In my view analysts trying to estimate claims are just guessing now. Retail Sales were higher with the headline number missing expectations (.3% vs .6% expected & prior -.3%) & ex-autos & gas improved (.7% vs .5% & prior -.3%). PPI fell (-.8% vs -.5% & prior -.2%) core PPI rose (.1% vs .2% expected & prior -.2%). Remember its the core rate bulls and government wants you to watch. Nevertheless, headline writers focused on the headline rate. Pimcos Bill Gross discussed the Feds new monetary policies in a Bloomberg interview. In it he describes what the Fed is doing without dubbing it a PonziScheme. He nails it with this gem of a quote: What really happens, and this is critically important, is the Treasury issues bonds and the Fed buys them and then remits interest to the Treasury. Since he still needs to keep good communications with Bernanke & Co hes not going to use the phrase for what QE actually is. The interesting thing about all this is bond prices (TLT) after the expanded QE operations are falling vs rising meaning the markets will determine the validity and usefulness of these policies. Stocks followed through to the downside on renewed fiscal cliff worries, more negative comments from Boehner and Reid among others, and perhaps a lack of confidence in Bernankes press conference remarks. (Breaking: Boehner & Obama scheduled to meet at the WH at 5PM EST) More games are being played with gold (GLD) as another mysterious seller reappeared in mid-afternoon trading in Japan driving the price down and catching stops. As you recall last week the same thing occurred which was curiously followed by a sell recommendation by Goldman Sachs.The dollar (UUP) was slightly higher Thursday and commodities (DBC) weaker weighed down by energy (USO) and metals (DBB). Volume was unremarkable once again but breadth per the WSJ was quite negative…’

Marc Faber: "Paul Krugman Should Go And Live In North Korea"

If there is one thing better than Marc Faber providing a free, must-watch (and listen) 50 minute lecture on virtually everything that has transpired in the end days of modern capitalism, starting with who caused it, adjustable rate mortgages, leverage, why did the Fed let Lehman fail, why was AIG bailed out, quantitative easing, Operation Twist, where the interest on the debt is going, which bubbles he is most concerned about, a discussion of gold and silver, and culminating with his views on a world reserve currency, is him saying the following: "The views of the Keynesians like Mr. Krugman is that the fiscal deficits are far too small. One of the problems of the crisis is that it was caused by government intervention with fiscal and monetary measures. Now they tells us we didn't intervene enough. If they really believe that they should go and live in North Korea where you have a communist system. There the government intervenes into every aspect of the economy. And look at the economic performance of North Korea." Priceless.

Guest Post: Blue Shield Of California To Hike Insurance Rates Up To 20%

Greece Guest Post

Good thing there is no inflation, you know, except in every single thing every single American needs to buy to survive that is!  The hits just keep coming for California, Americas very own Greece.  Remember the article I posted a couple of days ago titled: Payday Loans in California: School Districts Owe $1 Billion on $100 Million Borrowed. Now we find out from the LA Times: "Health insurer Blue Shield of California wants to raise rates as much as 20% for some individual policyholders, prompting calls for the nonprofit to use some of its record-high reserve of $3.9 billion to hold down premiums. In filings with state regulators, Blue Shield is seeking an average rate increase of 12% for more than 300,000 customers, effective in March, with a maximum increase of 20%." That should be a real boon for Californias economy.  Meanwhile

On the other hand, if instead of prison, one were to write in "minimum security, free room and board, out early for good behavior" (especially if the world's most famous hedge fund will fund all your cash needs for the rest of your life on the 'other side' just as we predicted three weeks ago), then they would certainly hate us for our benefits.

Late-Day 'Leak' Not Enough To Save The World

A well-timed leak of an Obama-Boehner meeting this evening provided enough exuberance to allow algos to lift the markets (futures and ETFs first) from 'about to break the lows' to VWAP (to the tick!). S&P 500 futures picked off VWAP perfectly and slid back. The Dow and the S&P spent the afternoon stuck at unchanged on the week before the rally-monkey saved the day (as did Financials). Treasury yields continue to bleed higher (now up around 10bps on the week). Silver dislocated (worse) from its commodity peers who have recoupled +/-0.3% on the week (even as the USD is -0.6% on the week). Gold and silver (as we noted earlier) really fell out of love from the start of the day-session but silver was starting to recover into the close. AAPL was very close to its lowest close in 10 months (but again was rescued by some rampant white house leak about a totally fruitless rumor) though ended at a critical VWAP support level. By way of record-breakers - today marked the first time that we have seen stocks negative from the day before a QE announcement to the day after (no matter what Bob Pisani tells you). Equities tumbled into the close (after ringing the bell at VWAP) ending near the lows after-hours leaving financials and energy practically unchanged on the week. VIX jumped 0.5 vols to 16.4% and HYG had a very weak day on significant volume. But apart from that...

12-12-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  BEN PLAYING CATCH-UP WITH GDP DATA  12-12-12 Like others, we hung out most of the day waiting for Bens next dose of easing. What the Fed released in the way of new operations was fully expected without much of a surprise. Several things stood out. To remove ZIRP and halt QE inflation needs to remain tame and below 2% while the unemployment rate needs to be below 6.5%. Since even the most optimistic bull knows inflation data as currently constructed is faulty and misleading and so too have been recent employment reports. Below is inflation and employment data as measured by and courtesy of John Williams Shadow Government Statistics. Manipulating inflation and employment data have been in the governments interest to reduce entitlement benefit payments and hide real employment conditions for political reasons.

http://albertpeia.com/daveschart121212no1.gif

Meanwhile the Fed has indicated it would extend ZIRP until 2015 which may be nice but it offers little incentive for people to buy homes even as prices might flat line. And we really need people to start buying homes to clean out inventory. Also Operation Twist has ended only to be replaced by another yet unnamed OMO of buying $45 billion of mortgage-backed securities and $20 billion of Treasury debt.  This means more money printing driving the Feds balance sheet to potentially $4-$5 trillion. In his post release press conference stated the Fed is not monetizing federal deficit”…right, and Im not Santa Claus.Lastly, the Fed (behind the curve as usual) has downgraded 2012 GDP growth from 2.5-3% to 1.7-1.8% and 2013 from 2.5-3% to 2.3-3% (a shot in the dark?). These are poor numbers and certainly dont support a tax increase on anyone. One headline stated the revisions lower were only slight which is of course to minimize things but .8% GDP decline on these low numbers are massive.All of his has led to massive hording of cash and trading reserves by large banks and little in the way of lending. The chart below clearly demonstrates the ineffectiveness of current Fed policies in my opinion.

http://albertpeia.com/daveschart121212no2.gif

As usual, and in the video we posted after the Fed announcement, the first move can often be the wrong move and this maxim proved accurate once again Wednesday. So after the initial stock market rally, stocks turned south as selling and profit-taking hit the tape. Perhaps investors just sold the news while the best and brightest couldnt have been surprised much by the Feds economic downgrade.So stocks closed in the red Wednesday led broadly lower across the board. Wal-Mart (WMT) (XRT) and Eli Lilly (LLY) (XLV) led stocks lower while commodities (DBC), oil (USO) rose, the dollar (UUP) was flat and gold (GLD) was slightly higher.Now we turn our attention to the fiscal cliff drama and other data like Retail Sales and Jobless Claims primarily on Thursday. Volume remained light with most of it coming post Fed announcement. Breadth per the WSJ was mixed to negative.

20 Outrageous Examples That Show How Political Correctness Is Taking Over America

http://thetruthwins.com

 

http://albertpeia.com/20outrageousexamplesofpoliticalcorrectness.htm

 

 

 

First Hong Kong, Now Aussie Central Bank Gets Ugly Case Of Truthiness

It seems the AsiaPac central bankers did not get the 'shut up and print' memo as today during another speech, an Australian central banker followed Hong Kong's lead and pronounced quantitative easing as potentially harmful and the volatility-dampening effects of excess monetary policy as "ultimately inimical to financial stability and hence macroeconomic stability." In the speech below Glenn Stevens (RBA Governor) provides some much-needed doses of sanity to the grossly addicted world desirous of moar money printing.

"Central banks can provide liquidity to shore up financial stability and they can buy time for borrowers to adjust, but they cannot, in the end, put government finances on a sustainable course... They can't shield people from the implications of having mis-assessed their own lifetime budget constraints and therefore having consumed too much."

Why are these AsiaPac bankers breaking ranks with the status quo? Perhaps they see a looming threat and prefer to front-run their governments' demands to "get to work".

 

 

EU Leaders Praise ECB Supervision Agreement, Market Shrugs

Rightly so, the FX and equity futures markets are almost entirely ambivalent at the farce that at 430am in Brussels, the EU leaders announce a compromise agreement on ECB banking supervision:

*BARNIER HAILS 'HISTORICAL ACCORD' ON ECB BANK OVERSIGHT

*BARNIER SAYS EUROPE HAS SHOWN 'CAPACITY TO TAKE ACTION' (yay)

*MOSCOVICI SAYS SUPERVISION IS FIRST STEP IN EURO BANKING UNION

*MOSCOVICI SAYS ECB WILL BE SUPERVISOR FOR ALL BANKS

*SCHAEUBLE SAYS AGREEMENT REACHED ON EU30B OVERSIGHT THRESHOLD

*BARNIER SAYS SUPERVISOR IS FUNDAMENTAL FOR FINANCIAL STABILITY

*BARNIER SAYS ECB OVERSIGHT NEEDS PREPARATION OF AT LEAST A YEAR (umm)

*ECB COUNCIL WON'T HAVE FINAL SAY ON BANK REGULATION: SCHAEUBLE (oops)

Of course, none of this matters - what is the ECB going to tell them "de-lever more!", "buy less of your sovereign's debt?" Until there are pooled deposit guarantees (nein nein nein) this is irrelevant and markets are treating it thus - no matter the PR efforts.

 

 

CBO Releases Sandy Damage Estimate: At $60.4 Billion, It Would Send US Over The Debt Ceiling

At the end of October, as the Tristate Area was being flooded by Hurricane Sandy, one after another Wall Street firm tried to position Sandy virtually as a non-event, with total damage "forecasts" by such "reputable" firms as Goldman Sachs and Bank of America forecasting a total bill between $10 and $20 billion (as anything above that and the Q3 damage to GDP would be far more substantial than their recently bullish forecasts had accounted for, and would also imply a substantial spillover effect into Q1 2013), the same as various insurance companies who had other far more obvious reasons to undershoot on the total damages. We said the opposite, and based on historic damage forecasts, predicted the damage would likely be between $50 and $100 billion. Once again the sellside consensus was wrong and a fringe blog was accurate, as the CBO has just released the Obama administration's full aid request. Bottom line: $60.4 billion, or roughly what one year of what the ultimate tax hike compromise will bring into the government's treasury. Furthermore, if fully funded by debt today, this amount would send the US (which has a $57 billion debt buffer as of this moment) over the debt ceiling immediately.  Christie seeks 100% federal government reimbursement for Sandy... NY, NJ, CT lawmakers seek $83 billion to cover cost of damage... { People should read the comments the opposition are vehemently against a bailout for national drains (ie., wall street frauds, frauds, organized crime, corruption, etc.) new york/new jersey/connecticut. }

 

 

Does The Fed Think The S&P 500 Will Be At 750 In Jan 2015

At the current pace of 'improvement' in the unemployment rate, it appears the Fed will cease its 'stimulation' in early 2015 - and based on the empirical relationship between unemployment rates and the S&P 500 that implies a healthy retracement to around 750. Seems like the index is comfortable trading back to that level...

 

 

There's A Problem With Kicking The Can Down The Road

"Theres a problem with kicking the can down the road" - Ben Bernanke, (December 12 2012)... Weve taken this quote out of context - Bernanke was actually talking about the fiscal cliff, and not monetary policy; but kicking the can down the road is exactly what Bernanke is doing in his domain. Instead of letting the shadow banking bubble burst and liquidate in 2008, Bernanke has allowed it to slowly deflate, all the while pumping up the traditional banking sector with heavy, heavy liquidity. The reduction in shadow liabilities remains a massive deflationary and depressionary force (and probably the main reason why a tripling of the monetary base has not resulted in very severe inflation). Trillions and trillions of liquidity later, Bernanke is barely keeping the system afloat. We chose the path of Japan (which has spent the last twenty years depressed) not the path of Iceland (which is emerging from its depression). We chose to kick the can down the road. The system is rotten, and the debt load is unsustainable.

 

 

Japan's Hope-Based Rally, And Election-Triggered Reality

The strength of the Japanese stock market over the past few weeks has been at once heralded as anticipation of Abe's policies and the renaissance of this island nation's faltering reality. However, as Bloomberg's chart of the day points out, this performance trend (just as we saw in sentiment and market performance in the US) is absolutely normal heading into an election. As the chart below shows, the election day (on average) has marked a significant short-term top in the market 12 of the last 13 previous cycles. So while Jeff Gundlach is short JPY and long NKY, we suspect there will be a better entry point for the latter 'lomg' leg just a few days after the election landslide. As Daiwa's Soichiro Monji noted "Investors buy on promises and ideals up until the election. When the parliament starts a normal session, they will start trading on reality."

 

 

Guest Post: Essays In Fragility: The Efficient Subsidize The Inefficient

Consider the consequences of the efficient subsidizing the inefficient. As long as the surplus generated by the efficient is larger than the cost of supporting the inefficient, the system can continue. But once the cost of subsidizing the inefficient exceeds the surplus generated by the efficient, the system is doomed to eventual insolvency. There is one way to fill the deficit, of course: borrow money. This is the strategy being pursued by the Status Quo in developed and developing economies alike. As long as the inefficient are protected from competition and amply subsidized, there are no incentives to become more efficient. In effect, becoming more inefficient is rewarded.  What happens when the efficient sectors that are propping up a vast array of inefficient sectors falter? The politically expedient answer is of course to borrow more money. But that creates another kind of financial fragility. Borrowing money only masks the fragility for a time, while adding another layer of fragility beneath the apparently prosperous surface.

 

 

 

U.S. Rakes Up Nearly $300 Billion Deficit In First Two Months Of Fiscal 2013

To paraphrase Tim Geinter: "Risk of the Fed ever ending its monetization? No risk of that." Why? Because as the FMS just reported, the February budget deficit was $172 billion, up $52 billion from a month ago, and $35 billion from a year ago. In brief: in the first two months of Fiscal 2013, the US accumulated a $292 billion budget deficit (compared to $236 billion a year ago), a number which is simply scary when annualized. What does this mean? That as long as the Treasury runs $1+ trillion budget deficit, the Fed will never, ever be allowed to stop monetizing, especially with China and the other legacy foreign borrowers just saying nein. Which in turn means that it will now be in the Fed's favor to paint the economy with uglier colors (recall that the Fed now needs unemployment deterioration to have infinite free monetization reign). Does this mean that going over the Cliff is now an absolute certainty.

 

 

Out Of Ammo?

It has been three years and nine months since the Fed announced 'real' QE1. Presented for your convenience below is the market's reactions then and for comparison we have included today's reaction. It seems the markets - whether Gold, FX, or Treasuries - have become numb (or engorged) on the Fed's actions. This leaves us with the sad conclusion, which the Fed will be last to acknowledge: the ammo, it's gone. It's all gone.

 

 

 

Baltic Dry Plunges By Over 8% Overnight, Most Since 2008

It has been a while since we looked at the Baltic Dry Index, which when normalizing for the excess glut in dry container ship supply (such as right now - 5 years after all the excess supply in the industry - has long been normalized), continues to be one of the best concurrent indicators of global shipping and trade. We look at it today, moments ago it just posted an epic 8.2% plunge, crashing from 900 to 826, or the biggest drop since 2008! Of course, conisdering the collapse in global trade confirmed in past days by both Chinese and US data, this should not come as a surprise, although we are certain it will merely bring out the BDIY apologists who tell us that supply and demand here (like in every other Fed-supported market) are completely uncorrelated.

12-11-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  RUMORS OF DEAL COME AND GO  12-11-12  Traders are getting jumpy as rumors of fiscal cliff deal come to fore then fade once again. A deal may be in the negotiation process which many pundits believe would include tax hikes on the so-called rich in exchange for immediate entitlement reforms. Theres no question both sides need to get something they want out of any deal. Stocks are subject to unfounded rumors planted by algos and others to front-run and suck-in unsuspecting investors. Tuesdays stock market ramp featured some late day selling after Harry Reid asserted republicans were holding up middle class tax cuts saying there will be no deal by Christmas. (That threatens to upset the presidents body surfing plans at Kailua beach.)  Meanwhile John Boehner repeated a previous comment that the president is slow-walking negotiations. But this is what they docreate enough pressure from one side to another until the other side blinks. Until a deal is done you can expect plenty of volatility on any rumor, planted or otherwise.Below are two charts from a lengthy slide presentation authored by Mary Meeker from KPC (Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers). In it are some fascinating views of how our world might look in the decades ahead. No taxes on the rich or anyone will cure these imbalancesits the math.

The other market moving item on the agenda remains The Fed which will announce another policy decisions Wednesday afternoon. Some expect Bernanke & Co to extend QE3, end Operation Twist, announce an exit date (as if) and other measures to stimulate growth and, of course, jobs.Bulls generally feel a deal will be made and like to tell us about all the money on the sidelines. Its more likely money coming out of the Feds printing press methinks.Tech (QQQ) & (XLK) led markets higher given a short squeeze in Apple (AAPL) with cheerleaders for the stock amping up their megaphones as the past few months have them quite flummoxed and depressed.Bonds (TLT) fell as stocks rallied which is typical. The dollar (UUP) was lower (a favorite event for stock bulls) while gold was slightly weaker. The latter decline likely means bulls would rather be in stocks for that risk on moment. Commodities (DBC) overall were weaker on metals. Beyond all the hoopla, volume was again light but breadth per the WSJ positive…’

Jimmy Hoffa Warns Of "Civil War" As Michigan Governor Signs "Right-To-Work" Into Law

Minutes before Michigan Governor Snyder signed the 'Right-To-Work' bill into law, Teamster leader Jimmy Hoffa appeared on CNN,as seen in the clip below, warning that: "This is just the first round of a battle that's going to divide this state. We're going to have a civil war," as the bill to weaken unions' power is passed.

 

{ There is an exception to the hearsay rule known as a dying declaration; the rationale being that a person would not ‘go his maker’ with a false statement/declaration to ‘taint his soul’. Interestingly, I had occasion to know a very intelligent, learned man who was indeed dying, in a death spiral if you will. A lawyer by profession, he had taken an interest in another lawyer’s history; none other than Abraham Lincoln himself. Curiously I thought at the time, though even then, some decades ago (long before the internet), I realized that you were never getting the whole, correct, true story from american media ( I was fortunate in sixth grade to have had a great teacher, James Bresnahan, who allowed for ‘expansive’/accelerated learning in what he took the time and trouble to provide as an advanced reading group. Among the subjects was that knowledge/thinking-tainting phenomena known more commonly as propaganda). After all, a long dead president; and, one who famously suffered from recurring bouts of severe depression could hardly be the object of, from my view, intense intellectual interest and scrutiny. Yet, he was fixated on what he deemed somewhat a surprising revelation; viz., from his intense study, Abe was not ‘Honest Abe’ but rather, was a thief. I was aware that in fact, Lincoln found niggers somewhat appalling and initially opposed ending slavery and those who favored same, viz., the abolitionists, etc. (niggers are a same old old story of lazy, unproductive, inherently very uncivilized criminal people who are fun-luvin’ for games, partying, and getting high only.  Even the incisive Shakespeare euphemistically referred to the ‘typicality’ of the inherently untrustworthy and without sense of honor, ‘noir’ [french for black]. The ultimate politician, Lincoln ultimately did, in rallying his ‘stalwarts’, back the abolitionist cause. I personally feel the people of the south were foolish in bringing vanquished niggers, sold into slavery by other niggers who vanquished them, to this already now blemished land. Moreover, as today, the niggers and the abolitionist cause had provided fodder for politics of  all sorts, including that of Lincoln. Indeed, even today, spielberg who is famous for his pro-jewish ‘politicking’/propaganda (even the first Indiana Jones movie was heavy on the Arab/Nazi transference propaganda) has found a way to make film-making pay for him and the democratic party by way of the misguided, inaccurate view of Lincoln as the anti-slavery icon he is speciously depicted as. Civil war? Hoffa, like his mob-connected, then disconnected (permanently) father is old news. The truth is that their own done them in (as was so of hoffa’s father) with NAFTA, etc., as they themselves foolishly laughed at their real would-be saviors, ie., Ross Perot, etc.. The reality is, there is literally nothing that can’t be produced better and cheaper and without paying the shake-down bribe from the teamsters et als for doing absolutely nothing (as is true with the other niggers, et als, entitlements, etc.), elsewhere. Twinkies anyone? }

 

 

U.S. Army Starts Targeting Children Posted by : George Washington Post date: 12/11/2012 - American Military Starts Assassinating Children  Obama and the American military label all young men – between the ages of say 15 and 35 - who happen to be in battle zones as suspected insurgents who they can target and kill. Under the Bush administration, children were tortured. Now, the U.S. military is starting to target children for assassination in battle zones. As the Nation reports: In a despicable article in Military Times, the US military says that children are legitimate targets in the war in Afghanistan … War crimes?  It would appear so. But the U.S. government exempts its own acts from the definition of terrorism, even as it labels others as terrorists for doing the exact same things.

Have We Seen The Peak Of Employment?

Last week we noted: "...when taking into account the recent slate of economic weakness, post-election we are likely to see many of the recent job gains revised away as the data aligns itself with overall economic activity...." Since that time jobless claims did indeed rise, and with the release of the November jobs report, we saw the previous two month's gains in employment revised down by a total of 49,000. What is important to remember is that the BLS only publishes revisions to the prior two months even though it has data for months prior.  This is why the annual revisions to the employment data can be significant.  Furthermore, given the weakness in the employment components of the major economic surveys, as shown by the composite employment index, we should expect to see negative revisions to the 2012 data employment data next year. While it is too early to say that employment has peaked for this current recovery cycle - there is mounting evidence that this may indeed be the case.

 

 

"Better Off On Benefits"

There is "no point" earning less in a minimum wage job is how Leanna Broderick - 20-year-old mother of two - justifies the benefits she claims adding that "she is better off on benefits" and would not get a job unless she could continue her luxury lifestyle, which includes designer outfits, holidays abroad, clubbing, lunches out and expensive gifts for her daughters Zelekah, two, and Zakirah, one. The UK's Daily Mail reports that Leanna saved GBP2,500 (~USD4,000) last year while living on GBP15,480 (~USD25,000) which she intends to spend on iPads and gold earrings for her kids - adding that "This way, taxpayers know I'm raising two well-brought-up kids." However, all is not rosy in Leanna's house as she fears next year may not be so lavish because of Government benefits cuts. "I'm not against the cuts, but only if the Government helps me find a job," she said, "In the meantime, Ill stay on benefits and get as much as I can out of it."

12-10-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com INVESTORS BIDING THEIR TIME  12-10-12  U.S. stocks barely had a pulse Monday. Investors are camped before Wednesdays Fed meeting result and any rumors from fiscal cliff negotiations. (Typing fiscal cliff is getting as tiresome as was typing Y2K and Greek debt previously.) The economic news from China was positive as Factory Output jumped (10.1% vs 9.8% expected) and the countrys Retail Sales climbed (14.9% vs 14.6% expected). However, export growth weaker (2.9% vs 9% expected.) Putting on my Clouseau hat Id say increasing internal demand is prominent in the country. How long that lasts or much you trust their data is another thing as most of the developed world heads toward recession. In fact their neighbors in Japan are now officially in recession.  Nevertheless, markets most heavily impacted by China (EEM, EWH, AAXJ, EWA, EWW and so forth) are carrying the bullish trade for now. Meanwhile the drama queens in the eurozone just wont leave us be for any length as now Italys Monti is resigning and rumors swirled that Berlusconi might stage a comeback. There as everywhere in debt-plagued eurozone countries the popular will is reduce austerity. All this caused eurozone shares to fall initially then shift to mostly unchanged even as Italy suffered a flat tire. The dollar (UUP) was flat overall and gold (GLD) prices rose. Commodities (DBC) were weaker led lower by energy (USO) but held up by base metals (DBB). Bonds (IEF) were flat. Stocks were led higher by small caps (IWM), transports (IYT) and not much else. In this environment with trading very light you can expect the rumor mill to drive stocks one way or another easily as algos and HFTs own the tape…’

The Obama-Phone Is Back - But This Time It's Real

While some saw the clip of the lady implying 'victory for Obama means phones for everyone' as perhaps exaggerated out-of-context right-wing propaganda - as that would be preposterous right? - it appears San Francisco took it a little more serious. As SFGate reports, the California Public Utilities Commission is expected to approve (within a couple of weeks) a plan to offer homeless and other poor people in California 'virtually free cell phones and service'. The plan is funded through the federal LifeLine program and is designed to enable these individuals to 'keep in touch with family, potential employers and others crucial to improving their lives'. "This is great - it is transformative for homeless and low-income people," said San Francisco's head of homeless initiatives, adding that, fundamentally, to be in the mainstream of our society you have to have a phone." Setting up the program in California has been no easy task, officials said. "I would prefer it to be free..." said Dufty, and said he would explore other funding sources. Perhaps worth remember the cost of kidding ourselves once again.

Only In California: School Owes $1 Billion On $100 Million 'PayDay' Loan

These three letters - C.A.B. - might just be the Dis-Humor story of the day. NPR reports that more than 200 schools across California are coming to the shocking realization that the upfront cash they needed so badly came at quite a price. These 'Capital Appreciation Bonds' are unlike normal bonds (requiring regular coupon payments and principal repayment); instead they provide the 'lent' money upfront and defer all interest and repayment to some magical faery land time in the future (by which time the interest accrued has grown exponentially as the interest accrues on the rising 'principal plus previously accrued interest'). Brilliant - as the Guinness chaps might say. So California schools are now undertaking PayDay or loan-shark style loans defending the idiocy of super-short-term thinking with such statements as "Why would you leave $25 million on the table?" referring to the upfront cash that one Treasurer was able to get his hands on - with clearly no comprehension of the financial instrument's massive convexity. California State Treasurer Bill Lockyer said "It's the school district equivalent of a payday loan or a balloon payment that you might obligate yourself for, so you don't pay for, maybe, 20 years - and suddenly you have a spike... It's so irresponsible."

Elliott's Paul Singer Reveals The Thing That Scares Him Most

"They say this is not massive money printing, but first they are wrong; and second, monetary authorities in the United States did not see the crash coming and the unsoundness of the financial system. In fact, right up until the crash they were saying that nothing like what happened could ever happen... This monetary policy, $3 trillion of bond buying in the United States, $3 trillion in Europe and another $2.5 trillion to $3 trillion in Japan, is unprecedented. ... If and when people lose confidence in paper money because of repeated bouts of quantitative easing and zero-percent interest ratesit could happen suddenly and in a ferocious manner in the commodity markets, in gold, possibly in real estateinterest rates could go up at the long end by hundreds of basis points in a very short time. Im quite concerned as a money manager that we have to manage money, not just for the boundaries of whats in front of our facesmaybe well have a little tax increase or not, the fiscal cliff, or the stock market might go up or down 10% or 15%but for a basic shift. The thing that scares me most is significant inflation, which could destroy our society."

 

 

Guest Post: Too Big To Understand

One thing that has undergone hyperinflation in recent years is the length of financial regulations. Big, messy legislation leaves legal loopholes that clever and highly-paid lawyers and (non-) compliance officers can cut through. Bigger and more extensive regulation can make a system less well-regulated. We propose that this is what the big banks will use Dodd-Frank to accomplish. We predict that the regulatory hyperinflation will make the financial industry and the wider economy much more fragile.

 

 

 

Crisis Year 7 - The Japanization Of Credit

Since the crisis first began in 2006, developed world equities are still lower, real GDP has struggled to grow above its pre-crisis peak in most countries, core bond yields are sharply lower with peripheral yields higher and with credit yields generally performing well albeit it with fairly extreme volatility. Credit has been helped by the fact that the authorities way of dealing with this crisis to date has been through money printing and liquidity facilities to help prevent mass defaults which, as is is clear in the chart below, has led to a weakening in the normal relationship between GDP and defaults. Just as one of the features of the last 20 years in Japans post-bubble adjustment and lost growth period is that defaults have remained very low; it appears as long as money printing props up the debt market, defaults are likely to be much lower than the underlying economic environment suggests they should be. However, as we noted previously, the mark-to-market volatility on the way may just become too much to bear for all but the most long-term bond rotators.

 

 

 

Inflationary Deflation: Creating A New Bubble In Money

Excessive monetary stimulus and low interest rates create financial bubbles. Seymour Pierce's Thunder Road report notes that central banks are creating the ultimate bubble in money itself, as they fight the downward leg in this Long Wave cycle. This is the biggest debt bubble in history. Each time deflationary forces re-assert themselves, offsetting inflationary forces (monetary stimulus in some form) have to be correspondingly more aggressive to keep systemic failure at bay. The avoidance of a typical deflationary resolution of this Long Wave is incubating a coming wave of inflation. This will not be the conventional “demand pull” inflation understood by most economists. The end game is an inflationary/currency crisis, dislocation across credit and derivative markets, and the transition to a new monetary system , with a new reserve currency replacing the dollar. This makes gold and silver the “go-to” assets for capital preservation.

 

 

 

The Sheer Comedy Of Erroneous Economist GDP Forecasts In 13 Simple Charts

 

If anyone needs a definitive confirmation that when it comes to predicting the future, "expert economists" are not only completely clueless but always approach the future with a baseline of endless and unquestioned bullishness, which in the past decade has ended up being humiliatingly wrong, we present the following charts from Deutsche's Jim Reid, showing the jawdropping cumulative error rate in GDP forecasts in the past decade among those countries that make the headline news every day. What do the charts show: in the 9 years since the first forecast in October 2003, these 6 countries are 20.5% (Italy), 16.9% (Spain), 10.4% (France), 3.7% (Germany), 11.3% (UK), and 15.8% (US) behind on a cumulative basis what economists forecast back in 2003! This forecasting error has become more severe since the crisis begun. Since October 2007 (i.e. for the 5 years between 2008-2012) we are 16.4% behind cumulative forecasts in Italy, 18.1% in Spain, 10.6% in France, 7.0% in Germany, 14.7% in the UK and 10.6% in the US.

 

 

 

So Many Hoaxes; So Little Time

The hoaxes remain and grow more cumbersome and obvious every day - and yet, the headline-reading machines and self-referentially-biased managers of stocks justify just one more BTFD episode. To wit, Mark Grant discusses the Greek buyback debacle with its political (and entirely not economic) mandate, noting "Mr. Draghi knows the truth and Ms. Lagarde knows the truth and their credibility is whacked once again;" Berlusconi's potential return in Italy and the hoax of any pretense of an entente cordiale re-emerging between north and south flies out the window; the 'tax the rich' hoax as a solution for years of profligate spending and the 'then vs us' meme that is increasingly spewed forth from DC; and the ultimate hoax of Bernanke's money printing morasse. Happy Monday.

 

 

The Mysterious Case Of America's Negative Real Wage Growth

Regular readers are aware that one of our favorite data series when it comes to demonstrating the quality aspect of the American "recovery" (the quantity is sufficiently taken care of with part-time workers filling in positions without benefits and job security in the New Normal) is that showing the annual average hourly earnings growth in nominal terms, which in November posted the tiniest bounce from its all time low print of 1.2%, rising to 1.3%. The problem as noted above, is that this is nominal wage growth. It therefore excludes the impact of inflation which according to the CPI, rose by 2.2% in October, or, in other words, wage growth was negative in real terms. But it wasn't negative only in October and November. When one takes the Y/Y change in average hourly earnings and subtracts the Y/Y change in CPI one gets a very troubling picture: wages have risen below the rate of inflation for 22 consecutive months, with real wages printing their last positive number back in January 2011 and negative ever since!

 

 

 

The Tremors Are Back: Japan Recession, China Trade Disappointment, European Periphery Slides

In a perfect trifecta of disappointment, overnight we had reality reassert itself with a thud as first Japan reported weaker than expected GDP which contracted for a second consecutive quarter and which technically sent the country into yet another recession, merely the latest one in its 30+ year deflationary collapse. Which isn't about to get better: "Analysts expect another quarter of contraction in the final three months of this year due to sluggish exports to China, keeping the Bank of Japan under pressure to loosen monetary policy as early as this month." Of course, there is hope that the new, old PM, Abe will restore money trees and unicorns and get Japan to a 3% inflation target, without somehow destroying bank and insurance co balance sheets in the process, all of which are loaded to the gills with JGBs set to collapse should inflation truly return. Then after Japan, China reported miserable trade data, which flatly refuted all hopes of an economic pick up both in the mainland and across the world. Perhaps the reason China can not openly fudge its trade data, unlike its GDP, inflation, retail sales, industrial production and all those other indicators that none other than the incoming head of government Li Keqiang said are for "reference only" (a fact conveiently ignored when they are all going up, and duly noted when China is self-reportedly sliding) because other countries report the counterparty data and it is very easy to catch China lying in this particular case. And finally there was Europe...

 

 

Foodstamps Soar By Most In 16 Months: Over 1 Million Americans Enter Poverty In Last Two Months

 

And we thought last month's delayed foodstamp data was bad. The just reported foodstamp number for September was a doozy, with 607,544 new Americans becoming eligible for foodstamps, as a record 47.7 million Americans are now living in poverty at least according to the USDA. The monthly increase was the highest since May 2011, and with August's 421K new impoverished America, over 1 million Americans made the EBT card their new best friend. It is unclear just which atmospheric phenomenon will get the blame for this unprecedented surge in poverty, which comes at a time when the pre-election economic data euphoria was adamant that the US economy was on an escape velocity to utopia. Instead what we do know is that in August and September, over three times as many foodstamp recipients were add to the economy as jobs (324,000). We also know that with the imminent impact of Sandy, which will send foodstamp recipients soaring, it is now looking quite possible that the US may end 2012 with just over a mindboggling 50 million Americans living in absolute poverty and collecting the $134.29 average monthly benefit per person, instead of working. Welcome to the recovery indeed.

 

 

Guest Post: Nearing The End of Serfdoms Road

In France, Minister for Energy and Environment Delphine Batho recently proposed a light curfew to pertain to in and outside shops, offices, and public buildings between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m. beginning next July. Some merchants are up in arms as the rule adds to existing bans such as the forced closing of stores on Sunday and night shopping in general. If enacted, the illumination ban will quickly disperse Pariss reputation as the City of Light. Frances Commercial Council is criticizing the decision as being anti-business and economically damaging. However, the fact that these assumed defenders of free enterprise are surprised at such a proposal is the real puzzle. In a country run by a government that is happily bloodletting the productive capacity of the people through a hike on the income tax and a tax on financial transactions, this latest nanny-state resolve should be fully expected. It is not a power grab but a mere reassertion of the authority the central state has over the private affairs of society. The lights out edict is just another piece of evidence of a disturbing truth: the road to serfdom is not ahead of the West; we have already reached its end.

12-07-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  EOCNOMIC DATA HOLDS SURPRISES  Out of the gate this morning was the whopping surprise in the monthly employment report (146K jobs added vs 85K expected & prior 171K) and the unemployment rate dropped (7.7% vs 8% expected & prior 7.9%). This looked great didnt it? But it wasnt. And, algos dont look too far under the hood at details but those were awful. The largest gain was in retail (part time holiday workers) followed by Hospitality and Leisure and Waste Services (Sandy?) while Construction jobs lost 20K. More importantly, the labor participation rate (only 63.6%) declined again as the number of people out of the work force increased by a stunning 540K people. In the end, more than 200K workers stopped looking for work.

Further inside the numbers are two charts that really indicate whats happening within age groups.

http://albertpeia.com/daveschart12712no2.gif

http://albertpeia.com/daveschart12712no3.gif

Stocks rallied initially on the employment report as algos jumped on the headline beat but then settled lower after the largest miss in history for Consumer Sentiment (74.5 vs 82 expected & prior 82.7). The combination of these two reports became a head scratcher for investors. Consumer Credit expanded to $14.2 billion vs $12 billion expected with most of this allocated to the expanding Student Loan bubble. The latter is now over $1 trillion with 11% now over 90 days past due. (Isnt it curious how $ trillion is now ubiquitous in our dialog?)Meanwhile in fiscal cliff news House Speaker John Boehner had a mini-press conference where he stated: Obama is slow-walking to the fiscal cliff.  An hour later House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi gave a rambling press conference which was relatively hard to understand. She indicated (something rumored) that raising the tax rate to 37% vs 39% as expected she may not know if that will bring in enough money. Frankly, even taxes at 39% wont bring in enough money to change the deficit and debt much. Frankly, its all a game but we must assume negotiations are continuing among parties behind closed doors.In China markets rallied on the belief economic data released this weekend will be positive. The euro (FXE) continued to fall as the German Bundestag cut economic forecasts reiterating what the ECB forecast Thursday. Naturally this meant the dollar (UUP) rose but moderated after employment and Consumer Sentiment data was given a second look.Large cap stocks (IBM, CVX, MCD, WMT and so forth) continued to climb while tech fell once again led by renewed selling in Apple (AAPL). The assumption with some stocks like Apple has to do perhaps as forced hedge fund liquidations add collateral damage to other investors as stops are hit as selling feeds on itself for now. Financials (XLF) and banks (KBE) were also leaders.Bonds (IEF) were weaker and this may be a defensive move as the Fed meets again next week. Commodities (DBC) (USO) weakened on the higher dollar and fears over weakening global economic growth. Gold (GLD) was flat overall and may also be seeing some hedge fund liquidation as many very large funds have heavy weightings in the metal. (Paulsons funds for example) Speaking of hedge funds, the mammoth SAC hedge fund has seen fund managers now named as co-conspirators in the insider trading case recently uncovered by the SEC. In the late Friday news dump is a note from MarketWatch that key SEC commissioner Aguilar is willing to allow floating NAV money market funds. This could drive money away from brokerage accounts and be a big deal. Volume on Friday was again quite light while breadth remained mixed…’

Why Is The Market Mispricing Uncertainty By 50%?

By now there can be no doubt that due to Bernanke et al's endless intervention in any and all capital markets, the "market" is no longer a mechanism that discounts the future in any way. In fact, instead of predicting the future, all the market has become is a backward looking race in which collocated algos respond to historical data - flashing red headlines - and attempt to out run each other in who can buy or sell more free for all, knowing full well at least one other greater fool will be behind them to pick up the pieces. Sadly, fundamentals as a driver to valuaton no longer exist. But such is life under central planning.  Yet there is one thing that the market responds to - it is politicians and the uncertainty that political risk brings with it. This certainly includes that most political of organizations, the Federal Reserve, whose stimulative intervention into capital markets two months before the presidential elections was without precedent. Yet even here, the market has managed to decouple from reality, and is trading at level far greater than what political uncertainty risk implies. As the chart below from Citi's Matt King shows, a correlation between BBB spreads and a broader proprietary uncertainty index, there is currently a roughly 50% political risk premium that is not being priced into stocks.

 

 

Guest Post: Preppers Who Make Surviving The Apocalypse Even Less Fun

Being forced to endure and survive a catastrophic macro event like a monetary or social collapse is perhaps one of the worst experiences I could imagine.  Such a crisis leads to just about every crime and inhuman action in existence, and, the time required for a culture to right itself and rebuild is severely protracted.  A hurricane or earthquake or tidal wave; these calamities are short lived and easy in comparison.  The point is, as survivalists who are preparing to make an economic end-game scenario as comfortable to live through as we can, it is incumbent upon us to consider the kind of company we keep during the gambit.  Some allies will make that mad world bearable; others will bring the madness to your doorstep.

 

Meet Liz Fowler: Architect of ObamaCare Jumps Ship To Johnson & Johnson

Following the passage of ObamaCare, several of the smartest people I know claimed that the bill was actually written by and for the drug and insurance companies rather than the people as Obama had claimed. In recent days it has emerged that Liz Fowler, who is said to have been one of the key architects of ObamaCare, is doing what any good revolving door crony capitalist would do.  She is moving to the private sector to receive her payoff. Revolving door on Wall Street.  Check.  Revolving door at the Pentagon.  Check.  Revolving door in Healthcare.  Check mate.  Welcome to America.  Check your freedom at the door.

 

 

Guest Post: Where To From Here?

We face one of the deepest crises in history. A prognosis for the economic future requires a deepening of the concepts of inflation and deflation. Inflation is a political phenomenon because monetary aggregates are not determined by market forces but are planned by central banks in agreement with governments. Inflation is a tax affecting all real incomes. Inflation is a precondition of extreme deflation: depression. Should in fact the overall debt collapse, there would be an extreme deflation or depression because the money aggregate would contract dramatically. In fact the money equivalent to the defaulted debt would literally vanish. It is for this reason that central banks monetize new debt at a lower interest rates, raising its value. All the financial bubbles and the mass of derivatives are just the consequence of debt monetization. How will this all end? In history, debt monetization has always produced hyperinflation. In Western countries, despite the exponential debt a runaway inflation has not yet occurred. Monetary policy has only inflated the financial sector, starving the private one, which is showing a bias towards a deflationary depression. Unfortunately governments and banks will go for more inflation. As history teaches, besides money the freedom of citizens can also be the victim.

AAPL Death-Cross Pushes Dow To Highs

Of course, it makes perfect sense - the largest market cap company in the world drops further and experiences a death cross and sure enough - the evergreen Dow Jones Industrial Average ended near the highs of the day - well north of the critical 'retirement-on' 13,000. In general risk-assets were quietly correlated with stocks today (amid relatively quiet volume on the major averages) but we note that the capital structure ETFs in general were less exuberant - though they did get a little bounce after the consumer credit data. All-in-all, the Dow stood alone in its non-AAPL exuberance as the rest of the market was mired in the sentment shift that is occurring (note the Dow saw ts 50DMA cross below its 100DMA and its closed perfectly intersecting with those averages). Must be the 'great' jobs number, right? Treasury yields end near their lows of the week, USD near its highs, Gold down on the week though at 3-day highs (supporting stocks), and high-yield credit weak today. Paging Skynet...

These Funds Are About To Get Creamed If The Nexen/CNOOC Deal Fails

In just over one hour the Canadian government will hold a press conference on the troubled Nexen/CNOOC deal: a deal that will make or break many M&A merger arbs or 2012. And judging by the algo reaction in the past few minutes, i.e., the complete collapse in NXY stock, the deal is off. So who is about to get crushed? Below is a sort of all hedge and mutual funds who added the most NXY stock in Q3, i.e., those who decided to pick pennies in front of a steam roller in hopes the Canadian government lets the deal through, with far more downside than upside if said assumption fails. All we can say is: Oops Paulson.... Again.

 

 

October Consumer Credit Rises By $14.2 Billion, Government Funds 70 Cents Of Every Dollar

A month after consumer credit rose by $12 billion (revised) driven by car and student loans, even as revolving credit declined, total consumer credit in October once again rose in both revolving and non-revolving categories, up by $14.2 billion, consisting of $3.4 billion in revolving and $10.8 billion in non-revolving. This number will probably get revised lower next week. The number which will not be revised lower is the composition of sources of consumer credit, where the Government sourced 70% of all new loans (on a NSA) basis: $7 bilion of a total of $10.3 billion. For some perspective, the US government has funded $114 billion of the total $156 billion in total consumer debt in the past year. Between the Fed and Uncle Sam, who needs banks?

UMich Confidence Plunges, Biggest Miss On Record As Outlook Crashes

After its biggest miss in four years (following the pre-revision spike to the biggest beat in three years), UMich Consumer Confidence came at 74.5 relative to an 82.0 expectation (biggest miss on record). Hugely down from last month's final print of 82.7, this is the first negative print since July to the lowest since August. Expectations for the future crashed its second largest absolute print on record (-13 to 64.6) to the lowest since Dec 11.  In the typical election year we see a rise in hope and confidence into the election and then a drop off after - it seems we are following that path...

Pre-NFP Party Spoiled By Reality, Bundesbank And Another Japanese Earthquake

In a day in which it was all supposed to be about today's far weaker (because there is a perfectly good alibi in the face of Hurricane Sandy) Nonfarm payroll report, expected to print at 85,000, due out in 2 hours, once again it is the the "rest of the world" that stole the scene, starting with a reality slam out of Germany whose Bundesbank came out with revised forecast for German economic growth, which collapsed projected 2013 growth from 1.6% to a tiny 0.4%, adding that there are "growth projections risks to the downside" in effect all but sealing Germany's recessionary fate in the coming year, and send the EURUSD to overnight lows. Sure enough, as if to confirm this forecast, moments ago German Industrial Production in October tumbled -2.6%, on expectations of an unchanged print. None of this should come as a surprise to our readers whom we have been warning for weeks and months that the European economic malaise is spreading closer to the core with each passing day. What this means is that as we have been saying for months, slowly but surely the narrative that the ongoing German bailout of Greece is crushing the AAA-rated economy will become louder and louder until it is the German people themselves who demand a severing of all ties with Greece.And speaking of Greece, there are simply no words to explain the stupidity of what may be happening there. Perhaps the following Bloomberg headline captures it best: Greece to Buy Debt It Already Owns to Reach Target. Er, LOLWUT?

 

 

RANsquawk EU Market Re-Cap - 7th December 2012

 

 

 

12-06-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  REVERSAL ON HEDGE FUND REDEMPTIONS  12-06-12  There were hints in the news on Thursday of cracks in the GOP unity on higher taxes. This was led by the ubiquitous compromiser in chief former Senator Judd Gregg who was willing to utter higher taxes to give his colleagues an assist. After all theyre not stupid and read polls indicating people want to tax the so-called rich. As EU head Jean-Claude Juncker recently stated: We know what to do, we just dont know how to get reelected if we do it. I guess that sums things up nicely. Speaking of Europe, Mario Draghi held his press conference Thursday and basically made no policy changes but indicated the eurozone would see weaker economic growth. This drove the euro (FXE) lower and dollar (UUP). He didnt comment honestly about Greece being downgraded to CCC by S&P as defaulted. This mean the ECB and other alphabet rescue funds, would be buying Greek defaulted debt as collateral on bailout funds. Well, not to be too upset since our own Fed has done the same with TARP and allowed banks to reclassify bad debt as solvent.In other news of pedestrian variety cash moved back to struggling Apple (AAPL) shares. The stock hit $518 or so early in the day then rallied. Hedge funds largest position has been Apple but some funds are being shut forcing them to unload shares. (One example Thursday was Diamondback Hedge Fund being forced to close by redemption demands.) One funds problem may present collateral damage to other hedge funds that are also seeing redemption demands. And, Apple has been in a steady decline which may have been the result of redemption demand but had also been triggering trailing investor stops exacerbating the situation. Perhaps once this forced selling ends, the stock the coast will be clear for investors to buy. Jobless Claims beat estimates (370K vs 380K expected & prior rising to 395K from 393K) but this number is always seasonally adjusted. The NSA (unadjusted) showed a shocking jump to 498K from 358K. Also the Challenger Job Cuts jumped to 57K from 47K. Taken together this wasnt good news.In Canada the PMI collapsed (47.5 vs 58.2 expected & prior 58.3) which just shows how weak the global economy is. In China its been reported by MarketWatch that Fitch has seen great risks in the magnitude of investment products being issued there100 new products a day with over $2 trillion in assets. Fitch worries about the quality of these products and if theyre a Ponzi Scheme.And, lastly youve seen that I many others have written snarky commentaries about end of month, quarter and year window dressing which by the way is illegal per the SEC. Now comes forward Jason Zweig from the WSJ suggesting that this activity is commonplace.As indicated stocks reversed course and turned modestly higher led by oversold tech and Apple overall. Commodities (DBC) & (USO) fell with the rising dollar while gold (GLD) rose oddly once again. Bonds (TLT) were slightly higher in price. Many stories are having us set-up for a poor Non-Farms Payroll Report Friday. Volume once again reverted to ultra-light conditions once again. Breadth per the WSJ was mixed…’

Equities End At High-Of-Day; Oil/FX/Bonds Not So Much

The technicals were in charge today as S&P futures coiled around VWAP early on, tested lows, then pushed to highs (coinciding with the 50DMA) - ending the day-session in the green. Low volume and low average trade size suggest this was not the pros filling their boots and the lack of enthusiasm among Treasury traders (despite a very late day ramp higher in yields), FX traders (EUR weakness dragged USD back to Unchanged on the week), and Oil (ending the day -2.9% on the week) didn't fill us with fear of a next leg higher (for now). Gold and stocks traded tick for tick most of the day as the precious metal toyed with $1700 again and HYG (the high-yield bond ETF) also recoupled with SPY (stocks) all day (shifting richer to its fair-value). Of course, AAPL is the name of the day with its death spiral, VWAP save, and VWAP reversion amid gigantic volume - but low average trade size (to close +1.5%). VIX ignored equity strength and closed +0.15 vols at 16.6% (very close to where it opened).

 

 

On Gold; Morgan Stanley Is Buying What Goldman Is Selling

Just yesterday, Goldman Sachs suggested its clients should sell their gold (to them?) as the precious metal cycle had turned. It seems Morgan Stanley disagrees; the firm's preferred fundamental metal exposure for 20913 is Gold. Expecting Silver to outperform also (given its 'cheaper' store of value), MS believes nothing has changed on the fundamental thesis for owning gold as the adoption of QE 3 (and 4...) and the ECB's commitments (and BoJ) remain the most important factors for a continuation of weakness in the TWI trend for the US Dollar. They also add that low nominal and negative real interest rates, ongoing geopolitical risk in the Middle East and continued mine supply issues are also supportive. From India and ETF demand to central bank buying and USD weakness - MS seems to be buying what GS is selling (or is less about muppet-mauling).

 

 

"Trenton Makes, The Mayor Takes" Mack Indicted On Corruption Charges

Just a few months back we noted the FBI's arrest of Tony Mack, the Mayor of New Jersey's salubrious capital Trenton. Today, via AP, the mayor and his brother have been indicted on eight counts of extortion, bribery, and mail and wire fraud. The Mayor has continued in his position - even since the September arrest - but the  federal indictment relates to an alleged scheme to accept $119,000 in bribes in exchange for his influence in the development of a garage on city-owned land. Shocked? not so much; but it seems maybe "Trenton Makes, The Mayor Takes" is more appropriate.

The US Is Not Egypt But Is Obama About To Go 'Morsillini'

UPDATE: Senate Republicans block vote on President Obama's debt-limit plan

The Pharaoh-like power-grab of omnipotence that Egypt's Morsi recently pulled seems to have set a precedent among newly 'elected' leaders. This morning, as per Bloomberg, we hear that Obama (and his viceroy Harry Reid) plan to demolish the idea of congressional checks on the debt limit. Incredibly ironic timing - given our previous post (in which Rick Santelli explains why this is a potential disaster), but placing that much unlimited money power in the hands of one man seems like a mistake:

*OBAMA PLAN CALLS FOR END OF LAWMAKER APPROVAL OF DEBT LIMIT

*REID SAYS SENATE MAY VOTE ON OBAMA DEBT-LIMIT PLAN TODAY

McConnell's response: Look: the only way we ever cut spending around here is by using the debate over the debt limit to do it, now the President wants to remove that spur to cut altogether.

 

 

Santelli Sums It Up In 10 Words: "Debt Ceiling Is Not The Problem. Debt Is The Problem"

Since the 2nd Liberty Act of 1917 birthed the debt ceiling, due to issues financing USA's entry into World War I, CNBC's Rick Santelli notes that there has been many documented 'violations'. However, as Rick so vociferously points out President Obama's comment yesterday on the debt limit and highlights the fact that "to have an unlimited amount of money to call upon is too much power power for one person. It's always in our country been about checks and balances but I think this administration just wants more checks and no balancing of the checkbook." Rick is right, of course, and the current diatribe from Geithner and Obama yesterday on the possible 'removal' of the debt limit beggars belief - and yet has become a negotiating point to be 'traded'. While some argue the premise of the debt limit for a reserve currency nation is nonsense, Santelli sums it perfectly in ten little words: "Debt Ceiling Is Not The Problem. Debt Is The Problem," adding the debt ceiling, as we have pointed out regularly, is an important (perhaps the most important) issue facing us currently (and inseparable from the supposed 'austerity' of the fiscal cliff - lower spending growth not lower spending).

 

 

AAPL & Stocks 'On'; Rest Of Risk 'Off'

AAPL's phoneix-like rise from the WWJTD lows this morning has been capped at yesterday's closing VWAP. Stocks and Gold are recoupled for the week pushing towards the highs (and high yield credit and stocks have recoupled). While equities are pushing their highs, Treasury yields plumb new lows, EURUSD has given up all the week's gains and more, and Oil is plunging. So, another day, another dislocation as not even Harrry Reid's indignance can move markets today...

 

 

Europe's Scariest Chart - Update

Despite Draghi's insistence that 'significant' progress has been made, that the ECB's efforts have not been "killer medicine", that stocks are higher and spreads are lower (implying the ECB "has already done much that is needed"), and how optimistically-biased cherry-picked economic surveys are positive despite weak economic projections; the fact of the matter is that youth unemployment is only getting worse - much worse. Euro-zone youth unemployment is at a record 23.9% but Spain and Italy saw the biggest jumps (to 55.9% and 36.5% respectively). Greece remains the worst at over 56% based on last data, while Germany rests at 8.1%.

 

 

Gallup Finds Unemployment Rate Soars Following Presidential Election

Two months ago, there were various prominent pundits who were furiously mocked and ridiculed by those whose job in the media it is to mock and ridicule, for suggesting what most know: that economic data is widely nuanced, massaged, adjusted, goalseeked and outright manipulated by various political interests. That someone would feign outrage by this allegation is laughable at best (and sorry, the "too many people were involved to keep it a secret" excuse is now absolute rubbish following the confirmation of Liborgate, yet another conspiracy theory until it became a conspiracy fact), yet all the "serious" outlets of insight did just that. Now that the election is over, for one reason or another "unnuanced" normalcy is about to strike back with a vengeance, as soon as tomorrow with the official release of November jobs data. And if the just released Gallup unemployment data is any indication, the amount of outright goalseeking by the fine folks at the BLS was nothing short of startling. Because after recording an adjusted unemployment rate of 7.4% in October, the November unemployment rate, based on a random sample of 29,308 adults, soared by a whopping 0.9% in one month to 8.3%, the most since the Great financial crisis itself! And furthermore, at 8.3% the unemployment rate is now the highest since May. Is it time yet for all those sellsiders to admit they were wrong weeks after producing beautiful pitchbooks of how 2013 will be "different this time" and the economy will soar? Or should we wait a few weeks first?

 

 

ECB Head Forced To Defend His Goldman "Conflicts Of Interest"

As we have discussed a number of times (most recently here), the infiltration of Goldman Sachs alumni into the highest ranks of political and monetary policy 'running the world' ranks is becoming pandemic. What is perhaps even more surprising is the fact that during the ECB's press conference this morning, the head of the world's 'almost' most powerful entity had to defend himself from such crackpot, tin-foil-hat-wearing, digital-dickweed-esque conspiracy theories that Draghi's affiliation to the Mother Squid is of greater importance than his current professional position. The sadly ironic aspect is that Draghi's membership of the Goldman Sachs-sponsored G-30 warranted more discussion during the press conference than that of Italy's Monti debacle (or Greece's "killer medicine").

 

 

Il Giornale: "The Monti Government Is Increasingly Hanging By A Thread"

As predicted in our overnight summary piece titled, "Sentiment Shaken By Concerns Of Political Circus Returning To Italy" Europe appears set to be gripped by yet another political crisis, this time by the country that most forgot in 2012, with the attention focusing primarily on Spain and Greece. The reason is what some may call Berlusconi's revenge, who after being eliminated by the ECB in November 2011 when Draghi sent Italian bond spreads soaring, and made Berlusconi's departure a condition to returning normalcy in exchange for planting yet another Goldman tentacle in Italy, Mario Monti, has now shaken the credibility of his successor by having his party PDL abstain from a vote of confidence in favor of Monti's growth measures. The result, as Il Giornale reported moments ago, is that the "the government is increasingly hanging by a thread". It continues: 'Now Prime Minister Mario Monti is likely to no longer have the numbers in parliament. The majority creaks." Is this the end of the technocratic quiet in the austerity regimes? And if the people have said Basta to Goldman and its appointees, does this open the door wide for the likes of Berlusconi to retake the power and force Goldman to scramble to regain status quo "normalcy" for another several months just as every sellside firm has bet the ranch on a global renaissance in 2013?

 

 

Margin Debt Rises To 18 Month High As Net Free Credit Plunges To -44 Billion: Keep The Margin Calls Away

A month ago, just before the market tumbled only to be rescued by a completely idiotic goal seeked narrative on November 16 that Congress and the President were close to a compromise on the Fiscal Cliff, since repeatedly refuted, we presented an update of NYSE margin debt and net investor net worth. The data was disturbing as it showed that just as the market had hit its 2012 peak so far, investors were truly "all in" stocks, and that "Margin Debt as of 9/30 hit $315 billion: a jump of $30 billion from the prior month, and the highest since March 2011, just before the market tanked. And confirming that there is simply no cash on hand to pay for margin calls when they start pouring in after today's massive sell off, is the total Net Worth, which in September was the lowest since April. Because with record complacency, and the Fed guaranteeing no further shocks are possible, who needs to hold cash?" Today we get the October data, and things have just gotten worse, because Margin Debt rose once more, this time to $318 billion, the highest in a year and a half, but more troubling is that Net Free Credit (i.e. real disposable cash to meet margin calls) sank even deeper into the red, at a whopping ($44) billion, the lowest since the summer of 2011. This simply means that like last month, if and when the margin calls start coming in, speculators will have no choice but to commence liquidating levered positions as there is simply not enough cash to fund capital losses. Which probably explains the resilience of the S&P: one or two 1% down days and Congress will get a far greater impetus to get a Fiscal Cliff deal done. Which, paradoxically, is precisely what needs to happen.

The composite index has now regained its pre-financial crisis levels of 55.4.  However, more important than the current level is the trend of the data since the peak in 2010.  I have noted the previous peaks of data and while the index is volatile from one month to the next the declining trend of the data should be concerning to those paying attention.  As we have stated in the past "economic change occurs at the margin" so the focus on a single data point can be very misleading. With estimates for Q4 GDP being ratcheted down sharply to roughly 1% from Q3's 2.7% annualized rate - it is very likely that the latest print in the ISM Composite index is likely the peak that we will see for several months. Doing more with less has now been the mantra of businesses since the financial crisis, and despite the $30+ trillion dollars thrown at the economy since that time, there has been little movement by businesses to become more aggressive.

 

 

 

Greece 'Selective Default' And Geithner's 'Selective Memory'

Late last night S&P placed Greece into Selective Default again, raising the issues, once again, of the $90 billion in Greek derivatives, the Greek bank bonds guaranteed by the country and now at the ECB, some central banks and some commercial banks where some clause may get triggered, various clauses in repos, inter-bank lending contracts and guarantees by Athens of various corporate entities all potentially seeing triggers. In the meantime, because Americans hate to be left out of anything, we continue to behave like fools. The raising of the tax rate on the wealthy will operate the country for about eight days and it seems like the savants in Washington have forgotten that there are three hundred and forty-eight days left in the year. Secretary Geithners ,We are prepared to go over the fiscal cliff, has all of the dramatics of some bluff on World Wide Poker. The focus on redistribution of wealth is a secondary consideration when you cannot pay your bills. We propose that unhappy Americans unite, buy the Abaco islands from the Bahamas, they need the money, and begin our own island nation and let the 46.5 million on food stamps fend for themselves. We honestly feel that way some days as the idiocy in Washington D.C. seems to recognize no boundaries.

 

 

Diamondback To Liquidate: Here Are Its Largest Holdings

Once upon a time Diamondback was one of the most prestigious, most desired to work for hedge funds. That is no longer the case, because as Bloomberg reported moments ago, the Stamford, CT-based fund, which as recently as 2010 had nearly $6 billion in AUM, is closing down, due to concerns it could be the next SAC, and following a flurry of redemptions, has no choice but to liquidate. What equities will be dumped wholesale by the fund? Full list of top 30 holdings is presented below.

 

 

Claims Drop To 370K, Beat Expectations Even As Unadjusted Claims Soar By 140K In One Week

And so the BLS and DOL are back to "seasonal adjustments." Because in a week in which the Sandy effect was supposed to fade, at least on a seasonally adjusted basis, nothing could spoil the party. And sure enough, the headline number dropped from an upward revised (how else) 395,000 to 370,000, well below the expected 380,000. The real story, however, is how the DOL is doing all it can to smooth the noise, because in the week ended December 1, Not Seasonally Adjusted Initial Claims soared by 139,678 - the highest since January, to a whopping 498,619. Compare this to the SA number of 370,000, and one can see why in the aftermath of Sandy, it is quite clear that between hurricane distortions and seasonal adjustments, the headline number is completely meaningless. Confirming this was the surge in Continuing Claims, which ripped from 2,835,671 to 3,301,200, an increase in continuing claims of 465,529, or nearly half a million, in one week! But at least the pre-election boost of those collecting extended claims is over, with those on EUCs down by 110K in one week, thereby ending the extended Uncle Sam handout for over a hundred thousand Americans, who will now be forced to seek solace in disability benefits.

 

 

Mario Draghi Press Conference - Live Webcast

You know the drill: 45 minutes after the ECB announcement we get the presser. Will Draghi say anything catalytic? Most likely not: the only variable is whether or not Draghi sees a reduction in inflation and growth (despite all the recent irrational euphoria from various sellside desks), leaving the door open for negative deposit rates. Remember: the "bazooka variable" - the OMT - is now solely in Spain's, and out of the ECB's, hands now.

*DRAGHI SAYS ECB CUT GROWTH FORECASTS, SEES `DOWNSIDE RISKS'
*DRAGHI SEES WEAK GROWTH EXTENDING INTO 2013 BEFORE RECOVERY
*DRAGHI SAYS GOVTS MUST REDUCE FISCAL STRUCURAL IMBALANCES
*DRAGHI SAYS FISCAL POSITION IN U.S. MAY DAMP CONFIDENCE LONGER

RANsquawk EU Market Re-Cap - 6th December 2012

 

 

 

 

12-05-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  MARKET SECTOR ROTATION UNDERWAY  12-05-12  U.S. economic news was unremarkable overall. ADP Employment data disappointed missing for the 6th time in 9 months (118K vs 125K expected & prior 158K). Productivity increased (2.9% vs 2.8% expected & prior 1.9%) but costs fell (-1.9% vs expected -.9% & prior -0.1%), meaning wages took a hit again. Factory Orders declined 0.8% vs -0.1% expected & prior 4.8%). ISM Non-Mfg Index 53.7 vs 53 expected & prior 54.2) but within the data the employment number plunged to 50.3 from 54.9its this under the hood stuff the media and algos dont pay attention to. In overseas markets the focus was squarely on China where there was talk of more potential infrastructure spending along with easing rules allowing insurance companies to invest in banks. Stocks there rallied sharply (+2.9%) shifting the focus away from the fiscal cliff to more growth from China. Of significance down the road Indias congress passed a bill allowing foreign retailers to open stores in the countryhello Wal-Mart (WMT). Not that it mattered to U.S. stock bulls much Wednesday but Spain was unable to sell the 4.5 billion in bonds Wednesday with only 4.25 billion placed. Also the eurozone reported its ISM Non-Mfg Index down for the 10th straight month as much of the region lingers in recessionno matter stocks rose. Also, Greece was downgraded to CCC by S&P after it is now in selective default. I guess this is bullish as well. Gold (GLD) prices continued their decline falling modestly. As you might remember from Mondays heavy selling there was one large seller in Tokyo mid-day which drove prices sharply lower. We learned today, Goldman Sachs has suggested to clients to sell gold. Could it be GS was that seller in Tokyo? What a shock, eh? Meanwhile the dollar (UUP) rose while commodities (DBC) overall were mostly flat. Growth in China and perhaps repair damage from Sandy affects demand for copper (JJC) and other base metals (DBB) benefited.Overall, U.S. stocks were led by financials (XLF), banks (KBE), and insurers (KIE) as money continues to rotate from tech. Large banks as primary dealers love POMO and use proceeds for trading. It might be the Fed will put POMO on steroids if we go over the cliff. Tech (XLK) continues to suffer as heavyweight Apple (AAPL) leads selling. Bonds (TLT) remained only slightly weaker on the day. Citigroup (C) announced it would fire 11,000 workers and the stock rose. Are financials then the safe place to be with the fiscal cliff? Good question as Deutsche Bank is being accused of hiding more than $12 billion in losses to avoid bailout. Wow! Volume was higher but breadth overall per the WSJ was mixed to flat…’

Bombshell: Deutsche Bank Hid $12 Billion In Losses To Avoid A Government Bail-Out

Forget the perfectly anticipated Greek (selective) default. This is the real deal. The FT just released a blockbuster that Europe's most important and significant bank, Deutsche Bank, hid $12 billion in losses during the financial crisis, helping the bank avoid a government bail-out, according to three former bank employees who filed complaints to US regulators. US regulators, whose chief of enforcement currently was none other than the General Counsel of Deutsche Bank at the time!

David Rosenberg On "Shared Sacrifice"

Sweeping changes are taking place at the state level as pension trustees and legislatures push for higher monthly contributions to pension plans, a later retirement age and lower annual cost-of-living adjustments for current and retired workers. Unions (those that don't make Twinkles, in any event), are making the concessions because they can see the future absent shared sacrifice the termination of defined benefit plans in favour of defined contribution plans. Be that as it may, employee contributions are going up a de facto tax hike. And this will work directly against any upturn in consumer spending when you consider that the state and local government sector employ nearly 20 million people or 15% of the national job pie. So we will have less government, fewer entitlements and more whisperings that it isn't just the $250,000+ high-income households that are going to experience tax increases and diminished disposable income growth. This is shared sacrifice. To think that the nation could have ever gone to war in Iraq and in Afghanistan under the Bush regime, putting our troops at great risk not to mention the emotional scars on their families, while here at home civilians would be allowed to enjoy tax cuts and a debt-financed consumption binge.... One has to wonder what events could provide positive momentum to GDP growth, push corporate earnings to record highs as the consensus predicts as early as next year, or generate any lasting inflation, for that matter.  It's the people that make these pricing decisions. Businesses can only price up to what consumers are willing to pay. It is households that determine whether or not we have inflation, not some bureaucrat in Washington who believes he has control over some printing press.

 

 

Citi On Why QE Isn't Working

Citi's Robert Buckland explains: If policymakers really do want to encourage stronger economic growth (and especially higher employment) then we would suggest that they take a closer look at the equity market's part in driving corporate behaviour. Despite high profitability, strong balance sheets and ultra-low interest rates, any stock market observer can see daily evidence of why the listed sector is unlikely to kick-start a meaningful acceleration in the global economy. A recent Reuters headline says it all: "P&G Plans to Cut More Jobs, Repurchasing More Shares". If anything, low interest rates are increasingly part of the problem rather than the solution. Perversely, they may be turning the world's largest companies into capital distributors rather than investors.

 

 

Stop-Hunting Algotron In Charge As Equities End Small Green

What a ridonculous day. We nearly dragged the deer out - or even Donkey Kong - but the epic awesomeness of the swings in stocks today (most notably the S&P 500 - since AAPL/NASDAQ tracked lower and more consistently all day) was simply remarkable. AAPL broke all kinds of records today (losing more market cap today than 80% of the S&P 500 companies in total h/t Peter Tchir). Despite the rapid collapse on the S&P 500 into the close (as HYG pulled off its lows in a failed convergence trade) amid heavy volume, saw the S&P manage a gain on the day but down on the month (while the Dow Industrials and Transports are basically unchanged since 11/30). Rates fell and stayed near their lows for the day; commodities chopped around (as usual) but ended marginally lower from yesterday's day-session close; financials were the winners on the day but led by just great companies as BofA and Citi which staged a tick-for-tick algo liftathon odyssey of idiocy (now up around 6% on the month!!). All-in-all, the S&P remains rich to risk assets but the overflow from AAPL's collapse has likely not played out yet as taps-on-the-shoulder will be everywhere tonight.

AAPL Suffers Biggest Market Cap Loss Ever

It seems like it was only yesterday when we were praising the miraculous 4 sigma move in AAPL stock, when it soared by nearly $40 in one trading session. It wasn't: it was November 19. Which is why it probably shouldn't be surprising that two short weeks later AAPL stock has just seen its biggest dollar fall in absolute terms in history, down $37 dollars or nearly 7%, its biggest one-day percentage drop since September 2008. Why? Nobody really knows, but when the world's biggest company by market cap trades increasingly like a penny stock, does anyone really care? In absolute terms, AAPL has lost nearly $35 billion in market cap in several hours today: more than the market cap of BlackRock, Morgan Stanley or Wal-Green, with no real material news except for the occasional weak order hearsay (which one didn't really need considering the US and global consumer is totally tapped out), and various other rumors. One thing is certain: the 240+ hedge funds who owned the stock as of September 30, and which did their best to paint the tape for November, are now at a complete loss what to do to delay what was certainly going to be a redemption avalanche for the second month in a row.

 

 

Citi Firing 11,000

Big news ahead of this Friday's NFP report:

CITI TO CUT OVER 11,000 JOBS, TAKE PRETAX CHARGE $1B IN 4Q

"Sandy's fault?" Or maybe the economy is collapsing despite all the propaganda one is spoonfed. Considering the recent termination of over 50,000 by UBS we think we know the answer. And while C stock may jump on the news, the end result is that New York and the US have both just lost 11,000 less key taxpayers most of whom are almost certainly in the $250,000+ bucket. That said we can't wait for the BLS to take this data as somehow beneficial for the unemployment rate.

 

 

ADP Print Of 118K Misses Expectations, Drops; Manufacturing Jobs Decline For Fifth Month: Zandi Blames Sandy

It was only logical, not to mention rhyming, that the new overlord of the ADP private payroll cheat sheet, Moody's Mark Zandi, would blame hurricane Sandi for today's miss in ADP private jobs, which printed at 118K, below expectations of 125K, and well below last month's downward revised 157K. To wit from Zandi: "Superstorm Sandy wreaked havoc on the job market in November, slicing an estimated 86,000 jobs from payrolls. The manufacturing, retailing, leisure and hospitality, and temporary help industries were hit particularly hard by the storm. Abstracting from the storm, the job market turned in a good performance during the month." And abstracting from reality, theoretical central planning might work. More importantly for Obama's "create 1 million manufacturing jobs in 4 years task" f(a)rce, November saw yet another 16,000 manufacturing jobs lost. Fear not though: these were almost offset by the 13,000 highly "productive" financial jobs created in the past month - perhaps all were insurance liability estimators? Finally, with Friday's NFP forecast at 87K, on a range of 15K to 145K, today's ADP report is merely yet more of the same very loud noise we have grown to love and expect from the firm which mysteriously pulled a NAR and revised its 2012 YTD jobs several weeks ago by a few hundred thousand.

 

 

Mainstream Media Finally Reports On GM's Channel Stuffing Scandal

Yet another story we have been following for nearly two years (and here) has finally migrated over to the Mainstream Media as attempts to hush it down before it become painfully obvious and problematic, have failed miserably. The WSJ writes that "Detroit auto makers are piling up big stocks of passenger cars at dealers despite brisk new-vehicle sales in the U.S.a problem that executives vowed to avoid since their painful downturn three years ago."

12-04-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   TRADERS SPENT THE DAY PICKING EACH OTHERS POCKET  12-04-12  The action on Tuesday was centered on confusion and mystery.Why was there heavy gold selling in Asia? The dollar was also quite weak. Is the inverse gold/dollar relationship broken?Sure the fiscal cliff looms and it makes for good theater, sells soap but answers few questions regarding other issues like whats going on with commodities and precious metals. Lets just say there is plenty of nefarious dealings taking place in commodity markets overall.This post is brief since theres no reason to try and solve these puzzles perhaps even inspector Clouseau-style. As indicated the dollar (UUP) was quite weak and so too gold (GLD). Stocks just churned about making little progress one way or another. It may be, pending other events, stocks may just remain camped until the cliff is resolved or not. Given this lack of progress away from currency and commodity markets there was little else to do but remain a spectator Tuesday. This lack of direction makes this commentary very short. Volume was once again quite light and breadth per the WSJ was mixed to flat…’

 

 

Heffernan: Microsoft is back — Why the dorky Apple rival is suddenly cool { Forget cool, when it comes to computers/computing, I’m more concerned with stability and performance. As a critic of Microsoft beyond their breakthrough Windows 2000 (professional) and Word offerings, I felt compelled to comment here. XP was a dog and deserving of  criticism (innumerable problems including acting as a ‘virus magnet’). Quite by ‘accident’, I plugged in an old apple usb mouse and my problems with vista (sic), Windows 7, literally disappeared (I then ordered a new usb mouse for right-click, scroll capability).

It apparently was the legacy mouse and problems created thereby (with ram, resources, cache/processor, etc.) that impaired stability and performance and I’m happy to say thus far, Windows 7 (with updates to date) is a solid successor to 2000 and microsoft’s best operating system to date (I have my fingers crossed as I said that … just kidding!). }

Japan's years of quantitative easing, forced financial repression, and Koo-nesian stimulus efforts are an altogether too accurate test-tube for the accelerated policies that Bernanke has engaged. A glance at the charts below and one wonders how many times did Japanese investors look at the equity market's exuberance relative to bond yields and scoff greedily; how many times did Japanese equity managers ask "what are you gonna do, buy JGBs?" But time and again, the Japanese equity market realized the errors of its ways and attempted to 'creatively destruct' the status quo - only to be dragged kicking and screaming into the next bubble. What awaits the US?

 

 

China Services PMI Plunges Most In 15 Months To Lowest Since Aug 2011

While much will be made of the greater-than-50 level for HSBC's China Services PMI, we note that the drop in the last two months is the largest in 15 months and takes the index back to its lowest levels since August 2011. While China's Manufacturing PMI was lauded as evidence that all is well and the slowdown has stopped, we note that in the history of the China Services PMI, it has only been lower than the current print in five of the forty-four months. It seems perhaps the transition is not going quite as according to plan.

The 11 "Death Spiral" States   http://albertpeia.com/deathspiralstates.htm

Eleven states made Forbes' list of danger spots for investors including California, New York, Illinois, and Ohio. They warned (and with the cliff it is even more critical), if you have muni bonds in these states - clean up your portfolio; if your career takes you there - rent, don't buy! Two factors determine their list of 'fiscal hellholes'. The first is whether there are more takers (someone who draws money from the government) than makers (the gainfully employed). The second is a state credit-worthiness score (via Conning) based on large debts, uncompetitive business climates, weak home prices, and bad trends in employment. Conning rates North Dakota the safest state to lend money to, Connecticut the most hazardous. A state qualifies for the Forbes' death spiral list if its taker/maker ratio exceeds 1.0 and it resides in the bottom half of Connings ranking. See below for the 11 states to avoid...no matter what Bob Toll, Larry Yun, Bob Pisani, or Alexandra Lebenthal tells you..

 

Worst-run states

New Jersey

Between 2010 and 2011, New Jersey’s GDP contracted by 0.5% — more than all but three states. The state’s median household income and poverty rate both ranked third in the nation. On the other hand, the state’s tax burden on its residents was second highest in the U.S. in 2010. Residents paid 12.4% of their income in state and local taxes — higher than any other state except neighboring New York. The state has budget problems, as well, according to the 24/7 Wall St. analysis. New Jersey’s debt as a percentage of revenue was 91.6%, the fifth-highest of all states.

 

 

 

Egyptian President Flees Palace As Rioters Close In

Time for flashbacks to nearly two years ago, when the first Egyptian revolution, with great assistance from the various governmental liberating agencies of the "developed world", led to a democratic regime, so democratic, the ruler lasted all of 5 months before declaring himself temporary dictator. The reason: following yet more riots, this time resulting in a siege of the presidential palace, and in which protesters breached the presidential palace cordon, Reuters reports that Mursi, aka Morsillini, who granted himself "temporary" supreme commander (read dictator) powers with a unilateral decree on November 22, has now left the building... the presidential palace that is. This will surely embolden the protesters even more, and may well get the military in play once again. One wonders just which regime the US will support this time around, and what happens if control over the Suez Canal can not be maintained following what is increasingly shaping as a counterrevolution.

 

 

 

The Keynesian Revolution Has Failed: Now What?

The Great Depression brought about the Keynesian Revolution, complete with new analytical tools and economic programs that have been relied upon for decades. In dampening each successive downturn, authorities accumulated increasingly larger deficits and brought about a debt supercycle that lasted in excess of half a century. The efficacy of these tools and programs has slowly been eroded over the years as the accumulation of policy actions has reduced the flexibility to deal with crises as we reach budget constraints and stretch the Feds balance sheet beyond anything previously imagined. Some have referred to this as reaching the Keynesian endpoint. Keynes would barely recognize where we now find ourselves. In this ultra loose policy environment we are limited by our Keynesian toolkit. Without a new economic paradigm, the deleterious consequences of the current misguided policies are a foregone conclusion.

12-03-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  FISCAL CLIFF HAUNTS LIKE Y2K 12-03-12  { Let me just interject here that nearly a trillion dollars (without a decades worth of debasement) was spent to avoid the nonevent} Most of you remember the hype and angst over Y2K in late 1999 no doubt. But it turned out to be a nonevent. The fiscal cliff seems profound in a different way but may result in just another shrug. In Europe the PMI was higher but still posted the 16th straight month of being under 50 (46.2 vs 45.4 previously). In China the PMI dropped slightly (50.4 vs 50.6 expected) which had some thinking this was a positive when it wasnt. U.S. ISM Mfg Survey was surprisingly negative (49.5 vs 51.7 expected & prior 51.7) to a low of July 2009. Some of this was blamed on hurricane Sandy which seems to be the ongoing excuse for any poor data point. Construction Spending was higher (1.4% vs .4% expected & prior .6%) also influenced by Sandy.J.P. Morgan (JPM) suggested in a research piece that sales of iPhones could impact 4th quarter GDP by around 33%. This is quite stunning frankly. At the same time the company is cutting 4th quarter GDP growth 1.5%. Stocks opened higher early as investors shrugged-off negative fiscal cliff comments from the dueling parties believing instead that a deal will ultimately be reached before year end. But the contradiction remains that economic data continues to weaken and raising taxes now would seem dumb. As the day wore on selling became more apparent even as the GOP submitted a plan to raise to raise revenues and cut spending.Stocks rose initially but then faded as the day wore on especially after the ISM Mfg data was released. As noted in the daily DJIA below you can see how markets are dancing around the 200 day moving average which is an important measure for many investors. The dollar (UUP) was much weaker while commodities were only mildly stronger. In the past, bulls have favored a weak dollar allowing stocks and commodities to rally. Monday didnt produce that effect clearly. Gold (GLD) rallied only slightly while commodity tracking ETF (DBC) was modestly higher along with oil (USO). Bonds (TLT) were weaker early then rallied into the close leaving things overall mostly unchanged.Not always as reliable as longer term views but in our data base of over 600 indexes and ETFs we have a long list of trend exhaustion indicators from DeMark 9s. This can cause shallow reversals along with some sideways movement. Volume was light as investors are pulling in their horns waiting for Washington to resolve their differences. Breadth per the WSJ was negative…’

Time For Bernanke To Retract His Sworn Testimony To Congress

Three months ago, as part of our ongoing explanation of what happens next to the Fed's balance sheet (which is now established as official canon in advance of the December 12th FOMC, when Bernanke will effectively announce QE4 consisting of $40 billion in MBS and $45 billion in unsterilized TSY purchases as we predicted the day QE3 was announced), we said that "the Fed will continue increasing its 10 Yr equivalents by roughly 12% (of the total market) per year, for at least the next 3 years, at which point it will own 60% of the entire Treasury market. It means that the Fed will monetize all gross long-term issuance every year for the next 3 years." Most looked at the bold sentence without it registering just what it means. Perhaps, now that the "serious" media has finally taken on the topic of applying a calculator to the one driver of all marginal risk demand, it will register a little better: in a Bloomberg story titled, appropriately enough "Treasury Scarcity to Grow as Fed Buys 90% of New Bonds" we read that "the Fed, in its efforts to boost growth, will add about $45 billion of Treasuries a month to the $40 billion in mortgage debt its purchasing, effectively absorbing about 90 percent of net new dollar-denominated fixed-income assets, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co." Actually that's incorrect and it is more like 100%. What is however 100% correct is what the bolded means in plain language: it is now accepted that the Fed will outright monetize all gross US issuance. Let us repeat this sentence for those who just had flashbacks to Adam Fergusson's "When money dies." The Fed is now monetizing practically all net new debt. So what did the Chairman say about this absolutely certain eventuality back in 2009 to Congress...

 

 

Guest Post: ISM - Outlook Declines

The recent release of the ISM Manufacturing index continues to point to signs of a slowing economy. This (49.5) reading, which is what is reported by the bulk of the mainstream media, is fairly meaningless. Remember, economic change happens at the margins.  Since the PMI is more of a "sentiment" index (it is a diffusion index that measures positive versus negative sentiment on various areas from employment to production to inventories) it is a better used as a gauge about what businesses will likely do in the future based on their current assessment of conditions. The importance of the change in sentiment is lost on most economists who have never actually owned a business.  However, it is clear that the fiscal cliff, the recent storm, and the continuing Eurozone saga are continuing to erode business sentiment.  This erosion in sentiment in turn affects economically sensitive actions such as production, employment and investment.

Equities End At Low-Of-Day In Catch-Down To Risk

Europe started to bleed after the Spain bailout debacle but from the open, US markets fell. They plunged on the ISM miss, bounced to VWAP in their wonderfully efficient way, and then spent the rest of the day shaking off the idiocy of last week's window-dressing. S&P 500 futures (ES) fell from 1424 highs to close at the day's lows around 1407 (still around 10 points rich to short-term Treasuries). When the ISM hit we saw Gold rally and Stocks dump to recouple the two assets for the day but overall it was stocks that were harder hit than other risk assets today - though evidently they were also major outperformers last week, so this is catch down as opposed to over-pessimism for now. Stocks were weak today in the face of a weaker USD (correlations breaking down) and a relatively unchanged Treasury market. Gold, Copper, and Oil all closed clustered together just in the green with Silver outperforming and VIX jumped 0.75 vols to 16.6% (highest in two weeks). High-yield credit had quite a day...

 

 

As Equity Window Dressing Ends, Treasury Reality Begins

No matter what you were told by the media (or your friendly 'stay fully invested' local wealth-manager), the equity market's exuberant surge of the last few days is evidently one of the clearest month-end window-dressing efforts (to desperately avoid redemptions) that we have seen recently (when put in context of the rest of the world's markets). Who is wrong? Who is right? We suspect we will see the truth (3 F's of US Fiscal Policy) shortly.

Guest Post: Storm Front Approaching the Home Builders

There is only one problem with the home builders - expectations are way too high. The builders are not only priced for perfection (as we noted here) by the market, the builders themselves have business strategies that are modeled for perfection. We believe the bar is set at an unattainable level. In summary, the building model is flawed. Here is why.

 

 

The Shocking Statistics Behind The Pentagon's Revolving Door 'Policy'

"High ranking generals and admirals earn their stars.  They earn their stripes.  Then, they earn their cash." Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has just released a fantastic new report on the revolving door between the Pentagon and the private sector, which raises serious concerns not only about ethics and corruption within the defense sector, but also raises issues of national security if retired generals are merely acting as mercenaries once they retire. As Mike Krieger notes: "When I first figured out the gigantic ponzi scheme, theft and fraud within the financial system... I never imagined the same thing goes on in virtually every sector of our corrupt crony capitalist economy... including the military." Absolutely incredible...

 

 

GM Channel Stuffing WTF!?

Those who have been reading our 2+ year series tracking the ridiculous "bottom-left to top-right" trend in GM dealer inventory channel stuffing, know all there is to know about the modern day equivalent of AOL (in which the purchases of modern equivalents of "dial up connections" are funded by loans from the US government itself), in both (non government backstopped) business continuity terms as well as in channel stuffing notoriety. Which is why we will present the November update of total dealer "inventory" (which rose to a record for the fresh-start company 788,194, or a record 99K increase in two months) a without commentary, except to say: WTF!?

 

 

Howard Marks On Why USA Is Not Greece (Yet)

Oaktree Capital's Chairman Howard Marks went on a rather more politically-positioned rant in his latest missive (pdf here) but one section caught our eye more than others given the current imbroglio:

The bottom line is that if we don't want to be Greece, we can't act like Greece. Something has to be done... and soon. Every year in which we add another trillion dollars to the national debt (and tens of billions to the annual interest bill) - and every year the excessive entitlement promises are allowed to compound - makes it harder to solve the problem.

A dismally honest reflection follows...

 

 

JPM Cuts Q4 GDP Forecast to 1.5%, Now Sees iPhone Sales Contribute 33% Of Growth Upside

Remember Michael Feroli? The JPM economist who "predicted" US Q4 GDP would be boosted by 0.5% due to iPhone sales (don't laugh: yes, US GDP, not that of China where the iPhone is actually produced, but the US where the consumer merely incurs more record student loans to be able to afford it)? Well, the same JPMorganite has now cut his Q4 GDP expectation to 1.5% for all the same reasons why we penned the second Q3 GDP revision: namely ugly internals, a surge in hollow government and inventory contributions to "growth", and a collapse in the purchasing power of the US consumer (who somehow is still expected to boost Q4 GDP with iPhone sales). And while there is no mention of the iPhone in his just released downward revision, he still believes the cell phone will provide a boost to Q4 GDP. In other words, of the 1.5% in GDP growth in Q4, the iPhone will account for 33% of this! One really can not make this up.

 

 

The Best Performing Assets In November And 2012 YTD

Remember when fundamentals mattered? Neither do we, and why should they: the New Normal market has long since stopped pretending to be able to discount a future that is entirely politically driven, and thus irrational, and the only thing that matters is being able to respond as fast as possible to blinking red headlines. This explains the best performing asset classes on November: at the very top, something one would never expect to see - the Nikkei, which soared on "hopes" the return of politician Shinjiro Abe would mean the nationalization of the BOJ, 3% inflation targeting, and a surge in monetization. And while this is good for Japanese equities, it would crush all local banks who hold the bulk of their assets in JGBs, which would in turn plunge, and likely result in another bank sector bailout, no to mention annihilate pension funding for tens of millions. But such is the new normal.

 

 

Manufacturing ISM Plummets To Lowest Print Since July 2009

So much for the 3rd Recovery (or is that 4th?) in the current depression: following the Chicago PMI which posted a solid beat on horrendous internals, today's Manufacturing ISM came in just as expected, at least by those skeptical of all the sugar high economic data the US population was spoon fed in the past few weeks. At 49.5, the headline PMI print was the lowest since July 2009, the biggest miss to expectations of 51.4 in 5 months, and down from 51.7. Also, as most know, as sub-50 print indicates a contraction in the manufacturing space, usually a precursor to overall recession. Particular data points of note: Employment down from 52.1 to 48.4; New Orders slide from 54.2 to 50.3, and in the worst news for GDP Exports declined, Imports rose and Inventories plunged - which was to be expected after a huge inventory build up in Q3 pushed GDP much higher in the period. Expect even more downward GDP recessions on today's ugly data. Finally, while the bulls would love to blame the collapse on Sandy, it was not mentioned anywhere in the release and the ISM's Holcome said just one respondent even mentioned Sandy in the release, which means the manufacturing reality will only get worse as the full impact of Sandy is internalized.

Fiscal Cliff Headline Manic Depression Set To Continue

Today's "trading", in a repeat of what has become a daily routine, can be summarized as follows: flashing red headline about Fiscal Cliff hope/optimism/constructiveness out of a member of Congress who bought SPY calls in advance of statement: market soars; flashing red headlines about the inverse of Fiscal Cliff hope/optimism/constructiveness out a member of Congress who bought SPY puts in advance of statement: market plunges. Everything else is noise, as is said hope/expectations/constructiveness too since it is increasingly likely nothing will happen until the debt ceiling hike deadline in March, but stop hunts must take place in a market which nobody even pretends is driven by fundamental newsflow. Such as the bevy of PMIs released last night, the key of which was the China HSBC PMI as reported previously, which beat expectations by the smallest of possible increments, at 50.5, but rising to expansion territory and the highest in 13 months, which sent the EURUSD spiking and has kept it in the 1.3030 range for the duration of the overnight session. Sadly, those on the ground in China hardly felt the number was a bullish as EURUSD trading algos around the world, sending the Shanghai Composite to a fresh post-2008 low, closing down over 1% at 1,960. But let's just ignore this inconvenient datapoint shall we?

 

 

The Chart That Keeps Ben Bernanke Up At Night

 

What changed in the last 30 days? Did the world just wake up to the idea that the only way out of this quagmire is a twisted currency war that appears to have re-ignited thanks to Abe's efforts? Something appears to have snapped in the American psyche as the last 30 days have seen the largest physical gold sales on record. Between the search volume for 'bulk ammo' and this, we fear something is afoot and while Congress fiddles as our economy burns, Bernanke going 'back to work' is perhaps what the physical 'horders' are thinking... or maybe they understand, as we noted here, that just as Kyle Bass has confirmed previously, Paper Gold is just like allocated, unambiguously owned physical bullion... until its not.

 

 

Robert Wiedemer: Awaiting The Aftershock

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2012-12-01/robert-wiedemer-awaiting-aftershock

The 2007 puncturing of housing market prices and the 2008 financial market swoon are the precedents to two much larger and much more dangerous bubbles. These more pernicious threats are the dollar bubble ("printing money") and the government debt bubble ("borrowing money"). While both are expanding at a sickening pace, in the near term they deceptively make things seem much better than they are. But, like all bubbles, they are unsustainable. The Fed is well-aware of this dire probability, but finds itself increasingly stuck to avoid it. The Fed's main strategic consists completely of "hope". It's backup strategy? "Panic" and thus the need to focus on preservation of purchasing power, and positioning one's financial assets safely before the aftershock arrives.

11-30-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  DUELING TALKING POINTS ON CLIFF  11-30-12  Friday was the last trading day on the month and as usual portfolio managers were keen to do a little window dressing. The news backdrop wasnt supportive of a rally but the financial media was determined to spin it that way. First, Personal Income & Spending was weak (Income flat & Spending -.2%) but that was blamed on Sandy. But ,we should remember that Sandy was only a three-day event at the end of October. Its just as logical to assert spending increased late in the month as store inventory was wiped out before the storm. Second, the Chicago Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) came in at 50.4 vs 50.3 expected, and was spun as a positive until you looked at the details. New orders showed significant monthly contraction (45.3 vs 50.3) and prices paid were much higher. This means that companies are paying more for raw materials and other goods and most likely will pass them on to their customers, which will either compress profit margins or be inflationary. We limped into the close of trading Friday with markets little changed overall. The dollar (UUP) was flat but gold (GLD) once again saw more selling. Commodities (DBC) once again were higher with gains in base metals (DBB) and oil (USO). Bonds (TLT) were slightly lower. Stocks were led higher by a narrow group too difficult to even list. As a consequence this post is quite short. For members there is long list of DeMark sequential set-up 9s now posted. I prefer weekly views but the daily can provide a heads up that a reversal in trend could be coming even if it would be short-term in nature. Also, as we approach the year end, and with so many U.S. equity ETFs to choose from you might benefit from our ebook: The Best ETFs: U.S. Equities Both Obama and republican leaders made speeches for the benefit of their respective base. Treasury Secretary Geithner had the unenviable task of delivering the WH opening (or at least public) proposal for the fiscal cliff. As noted last night it consisted of $1.6 trillion in new taxes, including eliminating the dividend preference to ordinary income, launching a $50 billion stimulus (as yet defined or for whom) but little in the way of spending cuts. Mitch McConnell is reported to have burst out laughing at this which in itself is funny. Volume was light as stocks were well marked into the close. Breadth per the WSJ was mixed…’

China PMI Rises But Misses Expectations For Fifth Month In A Row As Uncertainty Prevails

China's Manufacturing PMI missed expectations, coming in at 50.6 relative to a slightly expansionary 50.8 expectation, and up down from the 50.2 prior. This is the fifth month in a row of missed expectations but it has now risen for three months in a row, to the highest level in 8 months; but has now hovered within 0.6pts of the expansion/contraction knife-edge for six months. The PBOC's index remains above (more positive) than the HSBC version for the 20th month in the last 21 (which remains in the contractionary sub-50 range it has been in for 16 months). With the Shanghai Composite testing Jan 09 lows and the ongoing Reverse Repo delicate bank pumpathon, the relative stabilization in Services and Manufacturing PMIs is confirmed by this evening's data and provides hope for those bidding H-Shares to 16-month highs. Interestingly for all those who remain shocked at the divergence between the Hang-Seng and the Shanghai Composite, it seems clear that A-Shares investors remain skeptical of the PMI-based stabilization of macro and prefer to trust the weaker (and harder to tweak) Industrial Output data.

 

 

The Ultimate Fiscal Cliff Cheat Sheet Infographic

 

The Fiscal Cliff is the name given for the 2013 increase of Federal Government taxes and budget cuts. The Bush-era tax cuts expire and the 2013 "Budget Control Act" kicks in, among other budget cuts & new taxes. The Fiscal Cliff is set to reduce the 2013 US Government budget deficit by roughly half; will remove $607 Billion from economy (GDP), resulting in 4% drop, pushing it back into recession; it can NOT be avoided. It must happen to fix the budget deficit; any delay must be paid for later; it will NOT reduce the US debt, only slow down the growth. The Fiscal Cliff's (new taxes and budget cuts) size and impact are visualized below in physical $100 bills.

 

 

Gundlach: "I'm Waiting For Something To Go Kaboom"

Following some well-timed 'suggestions' in Natural Gas and Apple this year, the new bond guru has some rather more concerning views about the future of America. Reflecting on a dismal outlook progressing due to the fact that "Retirees take resources from a society, and workers produce resources", Gundlach has cut his exposure to US equities (apart from gold-miners and NatGas producers) noting their expensive valuation and low potential for growth. In a forthcoming Bloomberg Markets interview, the DoubleLine CEO warns we are about to enter the ominous third phase of the current debacle (Phase 1: a 27-year buildup of corporate, personal and sovereign debt. That lasted until 2008, when Phase 2 started, unfettered lending finally toppled banks and pushed the global economy into a recession, spurring governments and central banks to spend trillions of dollars to stimulate growth) as deeply indebted countries and companies, which Gundlach doesn’t name, will default sometime after 2013. "I don’t believe you’re going to get some sort of an early warning," Gundlach warns "You should be moving now."

 

 

European Rescue Mechanism Loses AAA Rating

S&P futures are bleeding back down again after-hours (and EUR -30pips) as Moody's announces the downgrade of the EFSF and ESM from AAA to Aa1. "Moody's decision was driven by the recent downgrade of France to Aa1 from Aaa and the high correlation in credit risk which Moody's believes is present among the ESFS' and ESM's entities' largest financial supporters." Of course, this is nothing to worry about as we are sure that some Middle East sovereign wealth fund will still buy their bonds? Or China? Or Supervalu?

*MOODY'S DOWNGRADES ESM TO Aa1 FROM Aaa, EFSF TO (P)Aa1 FROM Aaa

Not entirely surprising given the underlying rating moves - but yet more AAA-rated collateral bites the dust.

 

 

The Most Ridiculous Close To An Unimpressive Week

With a late-day surge into the green for the S&P 500 futures on (as usual) absolutely no news at all (attributed to MSCI rebalancing) - that crossed the entire day's range in the space of 40 minutes, the Dow managed to just hold 13,000 and close green for the week. There was very significant volume and block size into the ramp as it pulled away from risk-assets as only a month-end move can magically achieve. In the same way as last Friday's close was just remarkably silly, today followed the same path - though we note that rates and credit were outperforming stocks most of the day and provided the target for the late-day surge. Once that target was closed, S&P 500 futures then melted-down around the close and after-hours. Utilities were the big winners on the week (+3.5%) as Financials and Energy lost around 0.7%. Silver crumbled to recouple with Gold (down around 2% on the week) while Copper gained 3%. Treasury yields steepened into the close with the 30Y pushing higher but ending -2bps (while the 10Y was -7bps). What a crazy stop-hunting, algo-driven, VWAP-reverting end to a week of political volatility.

11-29-12 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  POLITICALLY DRIVEN MARKET  11-29-12  Its a cliff-driven news market bringing rapid trading and increased volatility. One day Boehner says something encouraging and the next reverses course. Politicians of both parties, including the WH, have been chirping away and talking to their base. Behind closed doors maybe more serious things are being discussed. The president wants a deal before Christmas. Given his schedule (20 days in Hawaii) would mean December 21st. In the meantime the chatter will continue and so will the volatility.Given this unique environment of QE and ZIRP, perhaps old reliable indicators and reports lose their impact for now anyway. The respected Economic Cycle Research Index (ECRI) has been forecasting a recession coming since May 2012. And some recent statistics indicate this as true (Todays Kansas City Fed Manufacturing Data -6 vs -1 expected) but perhaps its been hindered or delayed by monetary policies.In overseas news Chinas Shanghai markets have fallen to their 2009 lows, reported PEs are below 11 (the lowest since 2011) and brokers will be cutting commissions. Europe was higher on follow through bullishness from previous budget happy talk Wednesday. This positive result came even as German unemployment rose to 8 month high. And, Greece remains in the news as Dutch Prime Minister Rutte confirmed yesterdays Greece will need more help message as valid.In the U.S. Jobless Claims remain high (393K vs 390K expected & prior revised higher to 416 from 410K). The consistent higher revisions allow for headline making better beats which you see in the financial media. GDP data was reported (2.67% vs 2.8% expected & prior 2%). Within the data were more important data: a massive build in defense spending and a serious decline in consumer consumption. All this is well summarized by Consumer Metrics Institute. In other words, if you look under the hood of the data there isnt much positive going on. But, looking under the hood isnt the way algos and bulls roll now. After a miserable New Home Sales report the other day Pending Home Sales brightened the mood (5.2% vs 1% expected & prior .4%).  Some current WH supporters are doing some hypocritical things. For example, Costco (COST) co-founder and Obama supporter, Jim Sinegal, is having a large special dividend payable before the fiscal cliff when a increase in the tax on dividends from 15% would be likely. Note Sinegal owns 2 million shares or $14 million gross windfall. Wynn Resorts and Tyson Foods are doing something similar.Stocks moved about rapidly with each positive or negative comment from politicians promoting positions to their base. Depending on your stomach for volatility you can jump in or stand aside until they work it all out.The dollar (UUP) was lower once again and gold (GLD) recovered much of the previous days losses. Commodities (DBC) rose as oil USO) rebounded. Bonds (TLT) were flat for the most part. Stocks were led higher once again by tech (XLK) and social media (SOCL) for example. Helping markets rally throughout the day were previous comments from former Fed Governor William Dudley suggesting QE3 could continue throughout 2013. Lastly the consensus among traders at least a short-term fiscal cliff deal will be hadincrease taxes first then deal with spending (not a chance) later.The Fed has shown but not detailed in their holdings of other Federal Reserve Assets a little over $200 billion. Most of this may be foreign currencies or securities from overseas. (Spanish Bonds? Who knows?) http://albertpeia.com/daveschart112912.gif  Volume was modest and breadth per the WSJ was positive…’

Is November's Epic Short Squeeze Roundtrip Over?

The broadest US equity indices began to fall following the 2nd Presidential Debate in mid-October, and stabilized after the 3rd Debate. Weakness was well balanced with the 'most-shorted' names staying in sync with the indices (in a more systemic risk-off manner). Hurricane Sandy appears to the beginning of traders pressing the most-shorted names (we would suspect this was beta chasing on expectations of weakness) and then once the election results were known the most-shorted names really outperformed (i.e. fell considerably more than the index). As the chart below shows, just as the Washington 'cone of silence' began, the Russell 3000 had fallen 6% in November (and 8% from the 2nd debate), while the Russell 3000's Most-Shorted Index had dropped almost 10% for the month (and 12% from the debate) for a massive 400bps outperformance. The following two weeks led to today where the most-shorted index has been squeezed 9.25% higher to catch up to the broad Russell 300's performance for the month. As the month closes, the index and its most-shorted names are perfectly in sync and unchanged with one another - thus reducing dramatically the fast-money ammunition for further squeeze potential.

 

 

Doug Casey: The US Is Now The United (Police) State Of America

Doug Casey often gets letters from angry readers who accuse him of hating America, disloyalty, and perhaps even treason. The truth is that he loves the idea that was America. It's the United State it has become for which he has nothing but contempt. Where to begin? ...the US Constitution was essentially a coup; the delegates to what we now call the Constitutional Convention were not empowered to replace the existing government only to improve upon the Articles of Confederation between the then-independent states. The framers of the Constitution drafted it with the notion of a national government already in place, but calmed fears of loss of state sovereignty by calling the new government the "United States of America" a verbal sleight of hand that worked for over half a century. Then the southern states decided to exercise what these words imply, their right to leave the union... and as the government becomes more powerful, it's completely predictable that everything including the justice system will become ever more politicized... As great as a US citizen's risk is in the marketplace these days, the greatest single risk to their wealth and health is the government.

 

 

What Is Obama So Afraid Of?

This memo on the official whitehouse.gov website was released the other day and as Mike Krieger notes, it deserves wider discussion. It implies that the Obama Administration may be very worried about the truth getting out about all of their crimes, potentially via leaks from high places.  Read it for yourself, but the language is pretty clear.

 

 

Taking Advantage Before Year-End

 

In America we face our fiscal cliff or perhaps our bungee jump and while no resolution is in sight the one thing that we can hang our hats on is that we will face higher taxes. These may be the ones currently proposed or they may be totally new ones as defined by some sort of compromise. Given this 99% possibility it may be wise and in my opinion it is wise to take some profits now before the end of the year. We would start with bonds that are trading within a hairsbreadth of Treasuries or even through them and redeploy further out the curve in bonds that have some reasonable chance of continued compression. We think the compression will continue as the policy of the Fed and the ECB does not change for some period of time and the flows of money keep forcing the compression. We suggest taking some profits now because of two common sense principles.

 

 

Ugly Q3 GDP Confirms Personal Consumption Collapsing; Headline "Growth" Driven By Government, Inventory Accumulation

One glance at today's second read of Q3 GDP may leave some with the false impression that the US economy is soaring, because after sliding to 1.3% in Q2, and after a preliminary read of 2.0% in the first Q3 estimate, today's print, which missed estimates of a 2.8% print, did nonetheless rise to 2.7%. "A stunning success", the administration sycophants would say. Absolutely wrong. Because a quick glance at the underlying numbers shows the true picture of the economy which contracted far more than most expected, with personal consumption collapsing to 1.4% Q/Q, on hopes of a 1.9% rise, and down from 2.0%. In fact, at 0.99% personal consumption expenditures - the core driver of 70% of the US economy - were a tiny 36% of the headline number. Ironically today's second GDP revision was far worse when analyzed at the component level, than the first Q3 estimate, which while lower overall at 2.0%, at least had personal consumption nearly 50% higher at 1.42%, or well over half of the total contribution. So what drove "growth" in Q3? Nothing short of the most hollow and worst components of GDP: Government Spending, which soared to 0.67% of the annualized number, the first positive print in years, and of course, Inventories, which were responsible for 30% of the headline number. Finally, and most importantly, Fixed Investment, aka CapEx, was a meager 0.1%, or the lowest GDP contribution since Q1 2011. Without CapEx there is no corporate revenue growth (and future hiring intentions) period.

 

 

4-Week-Average Jobless Claims At 13-Month High As Sandy Effects Gone

While any and every bad data point recently has been summarily dismissed by the 'transitory' effects of Hurricane Sandy, it appears in the deepest darkest reality that there is more of a structural trend to this shift than simply a 'blip'. Claims missed expectations and prior data was revised higher leaving the four-week-average at its highest since October 2011 jumping back over 400k. More critically, when we dig into the details on the DoL site, we find some rather disturbing trends that totally dismiss Sandy effects. For instance, according to the DoL, there were 30.6k fewer initial claims in New York Last week - when this higher aggregate data point is supposed to be due to 'Sandy'. FL, MI, and MA saw the largest increases in claims. It seems blaming this trend-break on Sandy is now a non-starter - fiscal cliff front-running perhaps? Election hangover?

11-28-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com BULLISH ALGOS SEIZE THE TAPE 11-28-12  Wednesday started with poor overall news. New Home Sales plummeted missing expectations (368K vs 387K expected & prior revised from 389K to 369K) which was quite a shock. Later the large hedge fund SAC received an SEC Wells Notice meaning charges would soon follow perhaps even implicating Steve Cohen. Rumors followed thereafter indicating there was selling in what might be SAC related positions to meet what was presumed to be their positions. Markets overall fell sharply including financials (XLF) and other sectors with selling widespread. This included a bear raid on gold (GLD) and other metals post options expiration which can often happen as those with big money can squeeze those holders of options now converted to futures contracts. But this selling implied a massive risk-off environment present.To the rescue swooped in Boehner to suggest the fiscal cliff dialogue was moving forward and recent meetings were constructive. (Lets remember Boehner likes trading stocks.) Obama followed shortly with brief comments stating he expected to have a deal done by Christmas. Algos jumped on this news and arrested selling almost instantly. You see they just look at headlines but dont spend much time looking under the hood. It was a remarkable turnaround confirming who, what and how machines are dominating markets. And the day after Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein visited the White House Thursday Mitt Romney will be having lunch with Obama. Hell be served crow no doubt.Elsewhere the Fed Beige Book showed economic growth to be modest which seems to remain their primary description over the past 6 months. Markets yawned at the news.Overseas, and probably faster than even the most cynical bear would imagine, German Finance Minister Schauble stated Greece will need more help. Wow, that was quick!  Germanys most popular tabloid Bild published a scathing rebuke entitled The Never Ending Story. In it they state when referring to Greece: The patient dies and the paramedic goes bustChinese stocks fell to 2009 lows as trading volume is drying in Shanghai. In a contrast the Philippines (EPHE) reported GDP growth at 7.1% vs 5.4% expected & prior 6%) as the country is on a great growth path.In Europe most share indexes recovered from losses before the close in concert with the Boehner/Obama happy talk.The dollar (UUP) was nearly unchanged after rallying sharply early in trading. Gold (GLD) as indicated was hit hard by selling which is well-described here. Commodities (DBC) were dragged lower by energy (USO) in a risk off pattern little noticed by the stock market clearly. Bonds (TLT) sharply higher early on a flight to quality based on early news reversed course with stock market rally.Volume on this crazy reversal day was higher as shorts were squeezed once again. Breadth per the WSJ was positive…’

The Cost Of Kidding Yourself

Five years ago, every American would have considered a trillion-dollar budget deficit a national tragedy.  If you believe the CNBC parrot show, NOT having a trillion-dollar deficit is now a sure sign of the Apocalypse.  I speak of course of the cleverly dubbed Fiscal Cliff, which panicked CNBC apologists are required to mention no less than 5,000 times a day. Creating the illusion of economic growth is easy if you can print money.  Its a prank you can play on an entire country.  Cut the value of the currency in half and the economys size will appear to double.  If it doesnt, youre in recession (whether you know it or not).   Cavemen probably understood this concept better than Americas best economic minds.

 

 

Europe's Good, Bad, And Ugly Charts

A glimpse at stock prices, sovereign bond prices, and credit spreads and you could be forgiven for believing that (a la Juncker) Europe has turned the corner. The dismal reality is that one by one, market-based signals have been decoupled from reality by repression or plain old jawboning and squeezing. The picture of real fundamentals is considerably worse as these three charts from Bloomberg Briefs show. The Good (financial conditions index at multi-year highs) is merely a reflection of the ECB's transfer of risk and support (and is obviously hindered by the acknowledged failure of transmission mechanisms; which leads to the bad - both consumer and business confidence has decoupled (in a bad way) from markets. All this market-based hope is predicated on eventual joint-and-several-ness and an ECB backstop that seems more promise than premise; the ugly is that Germany (cash-money for the rest of the Euro-slaves) has seen six months in a row of manufacturing orders plunge and nine of the last eleven. Markets aside, fundamental realities suggest yet another hope-based rally due to be faded.

Bank of Japan Posts Whopping Ą233 Billion Loss As Its Soaring Balance Sheet Hits Record Ą156 Trillion

 

But, but, a central bank can never lose money. Bzzzz, wrong. As it just so happens, the world's most tragicomic farce of a central bank, and one which is about to officially lost its (faux) "independence" and become a branch of the Japanese government if the up and coming PM Abe has his way, the Bank of Japan, just reported that in the quarter ended September 30, the Japanese central bank reported an operating loss of Ą183.4 billion, and a net loss of Ą232.9 billion. As a comparison, the loss in the same period in 2011 was "only" 91 billion. This is a harbinger of the total collapse that is the utterly meaningless capital tranche of all central banks will go through before the terminal phase of the global Keynesian experiment is finally completed.  But in the meantime, enjoy this chart of the Bank of Japan's balance sheet returning back to a record Ą156... trillion.

 

 

Europe Shrugs Off Harsh Reality On Boehner's Banter

Europe was looking a little dark this morning; EURUSD was sliding, sovereign bonds flat-to-wider, and European stocks and credit were at one week lows. Then Speak Boehner opened his mouth and the correlated world of systemic cliff-on / cliff-off jumped to life and saved the day for all asunder. EURUSD remains down on the day as GGBs lose some hope, credit remains an underperformer but the jerk higher in stocks into the close was just remarkable in its idiocy. The equity move looks far out of line to the rest of risk assets for now...

 

 

From Black Friday To White Noise: Why Thanksgiving Sales "Data" Is Biased And Irrelevant

While the common wisdom, espoused by any and all commission-taking wealth manager looking to up his AUM, is that Black Friday sales (and the anecdotal evidence from self-referential store-owners and CEOs) can tell us about the trend in the economy or they offer some divine extrapolated insight into the year's final sales number. The truth; you can't handle the truth.  As BofAML's Michelle Meyer notes, there is no correlation between total holiday sales and Black Friday sales over the past seven years. In fact, we believe that not only are the early estimates of Black Friday sales insignificant, they can send misleading signals. More fundamentally, Black Friday sales can either signal a healthy consumer or a desperate one, depending on the state of the economy. The bottom line is that we advise fading the Black Friday sales reports, but paying attention to the aggregate holiday sales reports.

 

 

 

Surprise: Right After The Election, New Home Sales Tumble From Downward Revised Two Year High

There are those who may be surprised that last month's number of Seasonally Adjusted New Home Sales, which was then reported at 389K, and which number hit the airwaves days before the Obama reelection, was the highest since April 2010. We are not among them, as we were fully expecting today's number to be a major revision of the September number lower - as just happened, with the whopper of a print revised far lower to 369K - but doubled down with the additional miss of expectations of Seasonally Adjusted annualized new home sales of 390K for October when in reality only 368K were sold. All these numbers are annualized. When observed on an as is basis, in October there was a grand total of 29,000 new homes sold in the entire USA, with the Northeast representing a whopping... 2,000 of this. Oh and of the 29,000 houses sold, 9,000 were not even started. And finally, for those who enjoy pointing out the rise in home prices driven only and exclusively by foreclosure inventory stuffing and removal of all such real estate from the open markets, both the median and average new home price ($237,700 and $278,900) printed at at the lowest since June. Oh wait, we know: Sandy's fault. Which explains all bad data. When the data is good, it is nobody's fault.

 

 

 

SAC Receives Wells Notice

It turns out the topic of today's much expected conference call originating at 72 Cummings Point Road Stamford, is what many already knew yesterday, namely that the SEC has warned SAC that after years and years of pursuits, the enforcer is finally getting close in for the kill, and has sent a Wells Notice, usually a first step before civil charges are filed.

SAC SAID TO TELL CLIENTS IT GOT WELLS NOTICE FROM SEC LAST WEEK

The notice will be filed against the holdco, implying Cohen himself will be implicated, instead of just the CR Intrinsic OpCo where Martoma worker. Usually the SEC does not file Wells Notices without sufficient backing, so this may finally get interesting. But we are not holding our breath. One needs to simply recall how the SEC bungled its CDS insider trading case vs Millennium and Deutsche to see how the endgame here could well be another epic humiliation for the soon to be Schapro-less regulator.

11-27-12
Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  GREECE IS FIXED... SO THEY SAY 11-27-12  Eurozone finance ministers, including the troika, have finally fixed the Greek debt issues. Really? Yep, thats what the PR releases and bullish headlines suggest. So whats the deal? From what we know Greece wont have to make payments on these loans for 10 years, interest rates will be significantly reduced and the ECB will be buying their bonds. Significantly, this means Greece will get its 50 billion next week to avert a major default. The downsides of the deal are the so-called firm commitments Greece must adhere to on austerity and other goals to meet certain targets. These include a debt to GDP ratio of 175% in 2016, 124% in 2020 and 110% or lower by 2022. Its all well summarized byMark Grant here who calls it a fairy tale. I would observe most of the deal participants will not be around in 10 years and have merely kicked the can down the road. There was initial relief on the settlement since algos really dont have the time to look under the hood at the details these days.Meanwhile the OECD has now estimated the eurozone to have -.4% GDP growth in 2013 and estimated U.S. GDP down to 2% from previous 2.5% estimate. Their recommendation naturally is for more monetary easing and stimulus. If the fiscal cliff should occur then all bets are off. India is experiencing slower GDP growth by their standards 5.3% vs 5.6% and higher inflation over 7%. The political will there has become fragmented making solutions as difficult there as elsewhere. But on the news, stocks ralliedsnicker.Durable Goods Orders were flat at 0% but beat some estimates. Consumer Confidence rose slightly to 73.7 vs prior 73.1. Case-Shiller Home Price Index showed small continued gains of .4% vs .5% previous and 4% YTD increases overall. The Richmond Fed Mfg Index increased substantially (9 vs -8 expected & prior -7) offsetting yesterdays stinker from Dallas. The Fed is now fully engaged with POMO activities injecting $5.7 billion to primary dealers.SAC hedge fund will have a conference call with their investors Wednesday to assuage concerns and reassure them that Steve Cohen had absolutely nothing to do with insider trading and its something theyve never done before or will do in the future. There is the small matter of $275 million in profits that need to be returned which will come out of investors pockets theoretically. Perhaps Steve will cover it out of his pocket which he can easily do. I guarantee you there will be news reported about this via leaks from third parties.Stocks in the U.S. fell as fresh worries about the fiscal cliff emerged not based on anything specific other than investors rediscovered its existence. But we really shouldnt worry since GS Blankfein will be doing more of Gods work in a scheduled meeting with Obama. Leading the way lower were miners (XME) and financials (XLF). Bonds (IEF) were mildly positive. The dollar (UUP) was stronger and gold (GLD) was weaker.

Behind the Scenes, Germany is Already Preparing For a Grexit

November 27, 2012  http://gainspainscapital.com

 

http://albertpeia.com/germanypreparesforgrexit.htm

 

‘…This is simply not going to happen. Germany will play ball with the EU by signaling its efforts to keep things together, but the Germans have in fact been implementing a contingency plan for nearly one year now.

I broke this story in February 2012. I havent seen it mentioned anywhere else. I wrote:

Germany has put into place a contingency plan that would permit it to leave the Euro if it had to.

As a brief recap, this contingency plan consists of:

#1)    Legislation that would permit Germany to leave the Euro but remain a part of the EU.

#2)    The revival of its Special Financial Market Stabilization Funds, or SoFFin for short, to which Germany has allocated 480 billion Euros to in the case of a banking crisis (the fund will also permit German banks to dump their euro-zone government bonds if needed).

This occurred back in February. And Germany now has a formal working group assessing the cost of a Grexit? The EU is on borrowed time. I mentioned earlier this year that German tourism companies have put contingency plans for the return to the Drachma in the contracts for their Greek subsidiaries. However, now even large US-based multinationals are implementing contingency plans for a Grexit.

The list includes JP Morgan, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Visa, PricewaterhoursCoopers, Boston Consulting Group, Juniper Networks, and others.

Buckle up, things are about to get ugly.

This is why I’ve been warning that 2008 was just the warm-up. What is coming will be far far worse…’

 

 

 

The Scariest Chart Of The Quarter: Student Debt Bubble Officially Pops As 90+ Day Delinquency Rate Goes Parabolic

We have already discussed the student loan bubble, and its popping previously, most extensively in this article. Today, we get the Q3 consumer credit breakdown update courtesy of the NY Fed's quarterly credit breakdown. And it is quite ghastly. As of September 30, Federal (not total, just Federal) rose to a gargantuan $956 billion, an increase of $42 billion in the quarter - the biggest quarterly update since 2006. But this is no surprise to anyone who read our latest piece on the topic. What also shouldn't be a surprise, at least to our readers who read about it here first, but what will stun the general public are the two charts below, the first of which shows the amount of 90+ day student loan delinquencies, and the second shows the amount of newly delinquent 30+ day student loan balances. The charts speak for themselves.

 

 

Head Of The Fed's Trading Desk Speaks On Role Of Fed's "Interactions With Financial Markets"

In what is the first formal speech of Simon "Harry" Potter since taking over the magic ALL-LIFTvander wand from one Brian Sack, and who is best known for launching the Levitatus spell just when the market is about to plunge and end the insolvent S&P500-supported status quo as we know it, as well as hiring such sturdy understudies as Kevin Henry, the former UCLA economist in charge of the S&P discuss the "role of central bank interactions with financial markets." He describes the fed "Desk" of which he is in charge of as follows: "The Markets Group interacts with financial markets in several important capacities... As most of you probably know, in an OMO the central bank purchases or sells securities in the market in order to influence the level of central bank reserves available to the banking system... The Markets Group also provides important payment, custody and investment services for the dollar holdings of foreign central banks and international institutions." In other words: if the SPX plunging, send trade ticket to Citadel to buy tons of SPOOSs, levered ETFs and ES outright. That the Fed manipulates all markets: equities most certainly included, is well-known, and largely priced in by most, especially by the shorts, who have been all but annihilated by the Fed. But where it gets hilarious, is the section titled "Lessons Learned on Market Interactions through Prism of an Economist" and in which he explains why the Efficient Market Hypothesis is applicable to the market. If anyone wanted to know why the US equity, and overall capital markets, are doomed, now that they have a central planning economist in charge of trading, read only that and weep...

 

 

Is JPMorgan About To Take Over America, Again?

Great and wondrous things seem to be afoot among the righteous bankers of the world. A few months ago Matt Zames was named to get JPMorgan's CIO office out of trouble - and also happens to be the Chairman of the all-powerful Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee. Just yesterday, Mark Carney completed Europe's full-house of ex-Goldman Sachs alum running the region's monetary policy. Today we hear Lloyd Blankfein will be sidling up to Obama tomorrow. And now this; from the never-crony-capitalist himself, billionaire Warren Buffett has publicly blessed Jamie "apart from the failure of control" Dimon as the best man for the top job at the Treasury. "If we did run into problems in markets, I think he would actually be the best person you could have in the job," Buffett added (sounding more like the 'we' meant he) and dismissed the London-Whale "failure of control" with sometimes "people go off the reservation." With Zames running the Shadow Treasury and Dimon running the Real Treasury, is it any wonder that inquiring minds are asking who really runs America (and for whom)? Of course, in the pre-Fed era - over 100 years ago, JPMorgan Sr. 'bailed-out' America before...

 

 

14% Of S&P 500 Earnings Is "One Time Write Off" Vaporware

 

With everyone now well aware that revenues of S&P 500 companies have taken a turn for the worse and are declining for the second consecutive quarter (with well over a majority missing sellside estimates and trimming Q4 guidance), many are wondering: how can corporate EPS continue to grow, even if nominally? Are there really so many people left to be laid off? The answer, to the latter, is no, for the simple reason that it is not layoffs that have driven the upward persistency in corporate earnings. Then what has? Simple: when in doubt, "charge it" - this axiom seems to work not only for cash strapped consumers, but for corporations who know very well that when unable to satisfy earnings estimates using regular way earnings, companies can just write off "one time charges" and get the going concern EPS benefit for such an action.In fact, as the table below shows, a whopping 14% of all 'pro forma' 2012 EPS will be due to "one time write offs" - the highest proportion of total earnings since 2009!

 

 

When Work Is Punished: The Tragedy Of America's Welfare State

Exactly two years ago, some of the more politically biased progressive media outlets (who are quite adept at creating and taking down their own strawmen arguments, if not quite as adept at using an abacus, let alone a calculator) took offense at our article "In Entitlement America, The Head Of A Household Of Four Making Minimum Wage Has More Disposable Income Than A Family Making $60,000 A Year." In it we merely explained what has become the painful reality in America: for increasingly more it is now more lucrative - in the form of actual disposable income - to sit, do nothing, and collect various welfare entitlements, than to work. This is graphically, and very painfully confirmed, in the below chart from Gary Alexander, Secretary of Public Welfare, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (a state best known for its broke capital Harrisburg). As quantitied, and explained by Alexander, "the single mom is better off earnings gross income of $29,000 with $57,327 in net income & benefits than to earn gross income of $69,000 with net income and benefits of $57,045."

 

 

Chart Of The Day: Continued Collapse In Capital Goods New Orders Confirms US Is In Recession

While the just released Durable Goods orders report for October came in modestly better than expected (which many thought would be a decline due to Hurricane Sandy), the primary driver of this continues to be record durable good inventory accumulation. Excluding the noise, and focusing only on real, non-noisy economic strength metrics such as New Capital Goods Orders (technically defined as the year over year change in Non-Defense Capital Goods Excluding Aircraft), a very different and far uglier picture emerges. In fact, the October Y/Y Plunge of -8.1% in this major indicator was the biggest drop since 2009.

11-26-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   GREECE & FISCAL CLIFF VIE FOR CREDIBILITY  11-26-12  The new week begins with more late night negotiations in the eurozone for the umpteenth iteration for a Greek fix. Most of the deal choices finance ministers have considered appear unsubstantial like accepting Greek bonds as collateral for aid or lowering interest repayments and etc. But no matter ministers will spin whatever they do as successful. They may even launch more meetings with some bridge loan to buy time.Meanwhile in the U.S. politicians are digging in for some tough negotiations for the fiscal cliff. Even if theres a brief trip over the cliff something will be done to save the day before we splat. Taxes will go up, perhaps second home deductions will disappear and some token cuts (mostly to defense) will appear. In Japan theres a spirited battle taking place about Bank of Japan policies regarding easing policies including QE. To quell the dispute the current head asserted easing alone wont solve the problems facing the economy. And in more debt related news Argentina continues to saying no to honoring its debts. This is an easy sell to the populace in many South American countries.Taken together these should remind everyone the debt pickle the world is in. Lastly from overseas the Bank of England announced a successor to Merwyn King by naming former, wait for itGoldman Sachs honcho Mark Carney as its new head. Carney at one point during his tenure with GS was advising Russia on its debt situation during its financial crisis while at the same time the company was shorting Russian debt. So I guess hes qualified to deal with sovereign debt issues as GS starts to take over most of Europe and other central banks.The post mortem (beyond those shoppers getting maimed, maced or killed) on Black Friday shopping remains mixed. Some believe the weeks total sales overall were very good when including Thursday and online sales.Economic data in the U.S. showed a shockingly poor Dallas Fed Survey (-2.8 vs 4.7 expected & prior 1.8) meaning economic growth was in decline. And the Fed is busy with bond buying QE now which you can view here.In hedge fund follies, Mathew Martoma is either going to jail or will make a deal with authorities to give up a higher up at SAC for his record insider trading activities. That could get very interesting. The dollar (UUP) was flat while gold (GLD) also did little. Bonds (IEF) and (TLT) recovered from the previous weeks losses. Commodities (DBC) were modestly lower taken down mostly by energy and oil (USO) while base metals (JJC) were unchanged. Stocks were led higher by tech (XLK) while retail (XRT) and (XLY) were weaker. Volume didnt improve significantly after the ridiculously light affair from the holiday week. Breadth per the WSJ was mixed…’

 

 

Enjoy the Holidays, Because Next Year Will Be Horrific

November 26, 2012  http://gainspainscapital.com

 

http://albertpeia.com/horriffic2013.htm  { Indeed, it will be! }

This is going to be a very special holiday season. The reason? Its the last hurrah before things get very very ugly.

Just off the cuff, you need to know that:

1)   China, the EU, and the US (comprising over 50% of Global GDP) are in recession already. The EU has already announced this. Look for the formal announcements concerning the US and China to hit the airwaves next year.

2)   Some data points concerning these nations indicate that this recession will be on par with that of 2007-2008.

A rising tide raises all ships. Similarly, a sinking tide lowers everything. Bear this in mind as a global economic contraction will have severe implications for everything.

Egyptian Stocks Plunge 9.6% As 'Islamofascism' Rises; Clashes Escalate

Egyptian stocks cliff-dived by their most since the Arab Spring in January 2011 as Morsi's reach-for-omnipotence sends concerned ripples through the nation that they have replaced 'military fascism' with so-called 'islamofascism'. Tensions are rising once again in Tahrir Square, but as Russia Today notes in this clip, the new regime is somewhat more heavy-handed than the previous one in its control of protesters. Critically, the Musilm Brotherhood's opposition forces, who have been quite divided recently, are joining to fight the common enemy as clashes between pro-Morsi and anti-Morsi forces are erupting. Perhaps just as worrisome as the social unrest is the fact that Egypt's Stock Exchange Director Said Hisham Tawfiq fears "Egypt announces bankruptcy within 3 months in the case of the continuation of the current situation," though we note Egypt CDS are near 16-month lows.

 

 

Fiscal Cliff Update: 'Little Progress Toward A Compromise In Past Ten Days"

Two Fridays ago, just as AAPL was in danger of plunging below the absolute last support level of $500 after which freefall for it and the entire market begins, a truly unexpected deus ex machina appeared for those still clinging to long stock positions: politicians, in this case John Boehner and Nancy Pelosi, who held a press conference in which they defined the recently launched "Fiscal Cliff" talks as "constructive." In reality, this appearance was nothing but a photo opportunity for talking heads (as explained in "Risk Ramp on Boehner Banality"), and one which as Nancy Pelosi herself admitted later, served simply to halt what then looked like an assured free fall in the markets. Since then the ongoing rally in stocks and the EURUSD has been predicated on the "constructiveness" of the talks actually being real. Judging by the latest update from Reuters, Goldman will likely be right, if only in the short term. As Reuters admits, " U.S. lawmakers have made little progress in the last 10 days toward a compromise to avoid the harsh tax increases and government spending cuts scheduled for Jan. 1, a senior Democratic senator said on Sunday." That this update comes after the "big" market swoon into the recent lows from November 16, is certainly cause for alarm, because it means that at least one more violent market whipsaw to the downside will have to take place before there is any cliff progress to report.

 

 

Retailers Blame Drop In Black Friday Sales On Black Thursday

 

With all bad news on the tape now having a suitable "explanation", be it a prior president, a tropical storm, the weather being too hot, the weather being too cold, the weather being just right, but never, ever someone actually taking blame for the fact that life is what happens when corporate CEOs (and sovereign presidents) are busy making "priced to perfection" plans. So it is with what is now a confirmed flop of a Black Friday, which according to ShopperTrak saw sales drop by nearly 2% to $11.2 from 2011, which in turn was a 6.6% gain over 2010 (and would be revised to far lower once all the refunds and exchanges to cash took place in the two weeks later). This occurred despite a 3.5% increase in retail foot traffic to 307.7 million store visits. The nominal drop in retail sales also occurred despite a nearly 1% increase in the total US population over last Thanksgiving, and a 2% Y/Y inflation. But fear not: the ad hoc excuse for this "surprising" loss in purchasing power is already handy: it is all Black Thursday's fault, or the latest idiotic attempt by retailers to cannibalize their own future sales by diluting the exclusivity of Black Friday, and which will force all retailers to follow the sovereigns in a race to the bottom, as soon every day will be the equivalent of Black Friday. But at least retailers have another 364 years worth of excuses for the conceivable future to excuse any and all store weakness. Next year: it's all Black Wednesday's fault.

 

 

Europe Demands Nationalized Spanish Banks Fire 8,000 To Transfer First Bank Bailout Tranche

For those still unsure why Spain PM Mariano Rajoy is fighting tooth and nail to avoid requesting an official activation of the ECB's SMP reincarnation: the OMT, which is a conditional bond buying program supposedly pari passu with the private market (but not really) here is an explanation. While Spain already requested, and received, a bailout of its banking system, which according to eronous analyses by firms such as Oliver Wyman will be at most 60 billion, and which according to others (such as us) will eventually end up costing orders of magnitude more once the green light for extortion is open for the New Normal modified vigilantes, said bailout would come with full conditions. Today we learn what a major condition of the first bank bailout tranche disbursement will be. It should come as no surprise to our readers- recall that in May when discussing the absolute lack of any actual austerity implementation we said, that "In fact, the epicenter of the current meltdown - Spanish banking - has seen only de-minimus headcount reduction over the past few years - so who is tightening their belts?" It seems someone at the Troika was paying attention, because as El Pais reported, European condition number 1 will be an epic bloodbath of pink slips come Monday, with Spanish banks expected to fire thousands of bank workers immediately and shut down 1,000 branches.

 

 

Montana GOP Rep.: "Pay Me In Gold Before Dollars Have No Value"

Jerry O'Neil, six-term GOP state representative in Montana, has asked to receive his salary (which at $10.33 per hour is around $1800 per month) in gold or silver. The long-standing legislator was driven to this decision by his constituents' concerns about the nation's massive debt-load and fears of our country's collapse as "only so many dollars can be printed before they have no value." The long-time Ron Paul supporter, according to Time, cited Article 1, Section 10 of the US Constitution, which says, in part, that "No State shall... make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts." State administrators have denied his request and added that "a bill could be introduced to accomplish this result." O'Neil, like many other, believes "The Keynesian era of financing government with debt appears to be close to its demise."

 

Chart Of The Day: LEI - Leading-To-Lagging Ratio

While the general consensus from the media, and the majority of analysts, is that the U.S. economy will avoid a recession - there have been numerous indicators that have continued to point to deterioration in the economic fabric.  Most recently industrial production in the U.S. dropped sharply, along with capacity utilization rates, due to the growing recession in Europe, and slowdown in China, which has impacted exports from domestic manufacturers. While it is not popular within the media, or blogosphere, to point out economic concerns but rather why markets are going to engage in a continued bull market - the simple reality is that by the time the NBER announces an official recession it will be far to late for investors to minimize the damageThe leading-to-lagging ratio continues to point to an economy that has very little, if any, actual momentum which leaves it very susceptible to exogenous shocks.

 

 

"Survival Of The Fattest": It's A Fat, Fat World After All

Back in March, we first presented a rather stunning finding: by 2020 75% of Americans will be obese or overweight. This was promptly followed up with a post showing just how it is transpired that America became the fattest nation in the world in less than 20 years. What however may not be known, is that America's fatness epidemic is not localized to the country that gave the world the McDonalds burger (and the McMansion): it really is a fat, fat world, after all.



Guest Post: CFNAI: Not Seeing The Growth Economists' Predict

Many economists are suggesting that the second estimate of Q3 GDP, which showed an initial estimate of 2.0% annualized growth, will be revised sharply upward to 2.8%. The problem is that the surge in demand isn't materializing at the manufacturing level.  The month-over-month data has begun to show signs of deterioration as of late which doesn't support the idea of a sharp rebound in economic activity in recent months. The headwinds to economic growth are gaining strength as the tailwinds from stimulus related support programs fade. This has been witnessed not only in the manufacturing reports, such as the CFNAI and Dallas Fed Region surveys where forward expectations were sharply reduced, but also in many of the corporate earnings and guidance's this quarter.

 

 

Holiday Hangover Remains As Light Volume Lifts Equities To Exuberant Unch Close

Broadly speaking, risk markets seemed stuck in tryptophan-mode today but as always it was stocks that used a mediocre volume day to squeeze the odd name here or there. Facebook and Apple were the wunder-kind once again (with the latter now up almost 17% from its swing lows at its 30DMA and a 38.2% retrace of the high-to-low move). The Apple gain moved the Nasdaq into the green (for the sixth day in a row) but the S&P 500 (despite its best efforts into the close) was unable to reach green after overnight weakness. S&P 500 futures did managed to cross into the green (fill the gap) as the day-session closed but Treasury yields were lower all day and signaled considerably less exuberance. FX markets oscillated in ever-decreasing ranges as everyone waits for the next eurogroup bullgasm. Commodities wondered aimlessly with Oil down and Copper up and gold/silver either here nor there. VIX rose modestly to 15.5% by the close as credit markets overall underperformed stocks

11-23-12 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  HEDGE FUNDS STRUT THEIR STUFF  11-23-12  Ill keep this commentary short until I write for members tomorrow. Basically here is whats happening: hedge fund SAC has allegedly been dominating 10% of daily trading on NYSE. With markets oversold heading into the holiday week and volume collapsing, SAC (and presumably others) trading participation as a percentage of total volume no doubt soared. This meant those stocks with the most short interest and trailing resting stops were easy pickings for a squeeze. The magnitude of the squeeze was impressive even as there was little supportive bullish news. Its just further evidence of market manipulation…’

Will LGIVs Be The 'Straw' To Break China's Credit-Fueled Growth 'Back'?

We presented a detailed look into China's credit bubble earlier this week and why serial-extrapolators may well have to adjust their strategy calls sooner rather than later; but the more we look around in the detritus of China's non-centrally-issued datasets, the more concerned we become. To wit, the major issuance of local government investment vehicles (LGIVs) in the last few months to stabilize growth amid falling fiscal revenue growth. The unintended consequence of PBoC-sponsored debt restructurings (as Barclays notes, rolling over debt via the issuance of new products or buyouts by asset management companies) is creating a false sense of security for these instruments, reinforcing the belief of an 'implicit government guarantee'. We tend to agree with Barclays when they conclude that the underestimation of the credit risks in both the trust loans and bond markets could induce excessive risk-taking - and warrants extremely close monitoring.

 

 

Guest Post: Be Careful Jumping On Bernanke's Bandwagon

Markets initially sold off on Tuesday as Bernanke's speech gave no mention of further easing programs; but rebounded on his closing remarks, which the media latched on to, regarding optimism about economic growth in 2013. This was welcome news - as long as you don't think about it too much. With debt levels continuing to spiral higher, which acts as a governor on economic growth due to the debt service requirement, the question of a return of economic growth becomes much more cloudy. The problem for Bernanke comes down to his inability to provide realistic economic forecasts as the Federal Reserve faces a severe 'communications' challenge, which is the creation of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Imagine that following an FOMC meeting Bernanke stated:

"The policies and actions that we have implemented to date have done little to curb economic weakness. The economy is in much worse shape that we have previously communicated as the transmission system of Fed policy through the economy, and the financial markets, is obviously broken."

The immediate reaction to such a statement would be a complete meltdown of the financial markets.

 

 

Is An 18% JPY Devaluation The 'Best-Case' Scenario For Abe's 'New' Japan?

The JPY dropped 1.3% against the USD this week for a greater-than-6% drop since its late-September highs as it appears the market is content pricing Abe's dream of a higher inflation-expectation through the currency devaluation route (and not - for now - through nominal bond yields - implicitly signaling 'real' deflationary expectations). In a 'normal' environment, Barclays quantified the impact of a 1ppt shift in inflation expectations from 1% to 2% will create a 'permanent inflation tax' of around 18% (which will be shared between JPY and JGB channels). However, as we discussed in detail in March (and Kyle Bass confirmed and extended recently), the current 'Rubicon-crossing' nature of Japan's trade balance and debt-load (interest-expense-constraint) mean things could become highly unstable and contagious in a hurry. When the upside of your policy plans is an 18% loss of global purchasing power, we hope Abe knows what he is doing (but suspect not).

 

Observe The Short Squeeze

Confused at why the stock market has risen phoenix-like this week amid no-news on the fiscal cliff, a lack of closure on Greece and EU budgets, and a further collapse in Japan's trade balance? Wonder no longer; for the explanation is simple - a massive and dramatic short-squeeze has created a 200bps outperformance this week among the most-shorted Russell 3000 names. Impressive indeed; sustainable? One wonders if an "expert network" was used by various known and unknown CT-based hedge funds for "advice" to ramp stops in the highest beta, most shorted stocks in a market in which volume would be so abysmal any entity which already controls 10% of NYSE volume could do with the market as it saw fit?

29 Signs That The Elite Are Transforming Society Into A Total Domination Control Grid

http://thetruthwins.com

http://albertpeia.com/dominationcontrolgrid.htm

 

{ First and foremost clarification: There are no elite on this planet. The grim reality for this planet is a dominant species descended from initially notochords, primitive chordates, and relatively more recently, primitive apes.
See generally,

[   12 Pictures That Demonstrate How The New World Order Openly Mocks Us http://albertpeia.com/newworldordervedgesmockus.htm  { First, let me say that the vedges of the so-called new world order are in no real position to mock anyone, so mockable as they indeed are, as the incompetent vegetables that they in fact are, who have been the very architects of ultimately their own and the planets decline, fall, and demise. Yet, there is no question but that the masses so mocked, deserve to be mocked, having embraced their dismal fate at every turn; viz., their embrace of political correctness, though contraindicated, as, ie., the embrace of the violent, destructive nigger who literally would have them for dinner, or the compulsion to embrace that which the state says is right, though contraindicated, for political expedience owing to failure fed (including the incompetent missteps of the failed fed) desperation, ie., gay marriage, etc., contrived wars / conflicts, among other clearly observable, self-interested behavior of people, companies, nations, including the gargantuan bailed out frauds on wall street to everyones (but the frauds) detriment, still unprosecuted. That the jive-talking, b***s*** artist/grifter/con-man obama has not been held to even one of his former now broken campaign promises and is embraced by those foolish enough to believe more of the same is testament to how deserving of mocking the masses truly are (people should be outraged and wobama should be ridden out on a rail). Make no mistake; the reality is that the new world order/so-called elite are not elite at all; but rather, incompetent vegetables who cant do anything right as theyve now proven time and time again. As I previously said:

The Latest Greek "Bailout" In A Nutshell: AAA-Rated Euro Countries To Fund Massive Hedge Fund Profits

What is the latest state of play that has the biggest support from all parties? It appears that the plan which is now back in play, is one which Greece had previously nixed, namely a partial Greek bond buyback of the private bonds at a discount to par: with numbers currently rumored anywhere between 25 cents and 50 cents on the euro. And even if Greece agrees with this proposal, there is a question of where Greece will get the money for this distressed debt buyback? After all Greece is completely broke, and any new cash would have to be in the form of loans, as not even the most nebulous interpretation of the Maastricht treaty would allow an equity investment, or to use the proper nomenclature, "a fiscal investment" into Greece. But the kicker is when one traces the use of funds. Because what is will happening is a payment not to Greece, obviously, but to its creditors: entities which for the most part are hedge funds, and which have bought up GGB2s in the mid teen levels as recently as 4 months ago (recall Dan Loeb's major position in Greek bonds).

 

 

 

Initial Claims Over 400K For Second Week In A Row, Hurricane's Fault Again

Yesterday's home sales data, which came far better than expected, apparently had nothing to do with Hurricane Sandy (had it been a disappointment the narrative would have been far different). What Hurricane Sandy did have an impact on for the second week in a row, is today's Initial Unemployment Claims, supposedly, which for the second week in a row printed well above 400K, and just as expected, at 410K, "down" from last week's upward (naturally) revised 451K (previously 439K). NSA claims declined from 478.5K to 397.7K, while Continuing Claims were just below expectations at 3,337K on a consensus print of 3,345K, and down from an upward revised 3,367K. Notable is that the dropping trend in those on extended claims, which recently dropped to a multi year low of around 2 million, had reverse, and 60.8K applied for EUCs.

 

 

Biggest UMich Miss In 4 Years Follows Biggest UMich Beat In 5 Years

If you aren't thoroughly confused, confounded and outright disgusted by the newsflow supposed to represent the US economy, you aren't paying attention. Because two weeks after the preliminary UMich print was supposed to come at 82.2, instead soaring to 84.9, or the biggest beat of expectations in 5 years, we get the final UMich number, which missed expectations of a 84.5 read and plunged to 82.7, the biggest miss of expectations in 4 years. Of course, this makes sense: two weeks ago we had the euphoria associated with a new old president, and hope that 4 more years may fix this country. Two weeks, and the biggest market drop in one year later, enthusiasm has been doused just a tad. And adding insult to injury, 1 Year inflation expectations rose from 3.0% to 3.1% - just as the spectre of declining asset prices has reared its ugly head, yet this is well below the 2.8% expected for 5 year inflation -  as a reminder, in 5 years the Fed's balance sheet will be between $6 and 10 trillion. Boy is everyone in for a surprise...

11-20-12 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  BERNANKE REMAINS ALL-IN FOR WHATEVER IT TAKES 11-20-12  Fed Chairman Bernanke spoke at the NY Economic Club Tuesday citing the need for the congress to deal quickly with the fiscal cliff issues. He also mentioned that unemployment is much too high by a factor of 2-2/5%. One can infer from the employment comment which correspond to other Fed governors that QE will continue until the rate is below 6%. As to the fiscal cliff and the mess weve created for ourselves one observer sums things up as noted below:

In my view, we are likely to experience some difficult disruptions in the global economy in the transition from an unsustainable economic environment to a sustainable one. Underneath the veneer of a relatively stable U.S. economy is the fact that government deficits presently support about 10% of that activity. The Fed has pushed the monetary base to the largest fraction of GDP in history, and financial assets have been driven to some of the lowest prospective returns ever observed.These policies have bought time, but we have done nothing with it, because somehow everyone has become convinced that the house of paper is real even though we all watched it being built.Getting past the fiscal cliff is the comparatively easy part. There exists a deep-seated complacency of investors that everything will turn out just fine once the minor sideshow of the fiscal cliff is resolved.So whatever might happen automatically would be meaningless shortly thereafter anyway. There will likely be a combination of modest spending cuts, modest high-income tax increases, and limits on deductions for second homes. There will be a brief episode of joy and celebration by investors that they have been released from their chains, and shortly thereafter the data will remind us that the global economy is in recession, and that the U.S. economy entered a recession during the third quarter well before Sandy was even on the weather map.

Hussman Funds

(Read the entire post HERE)

Hussmans essay leads nicely to current eurozone fun and games. Finance ministers there are busy trying to fix a Greeces $19.2 billion budget shortfall. Their pathetic and amusing options as noted by Bloomberg include: 1. Recycling ECB profits from previous buys of Greek bonds, 2. Charging Greece lower interest rates on repayment, 3. Extending repayment deadlines. All of this is laughable and hard to make up but there you have it. Ministers and politicians keen to keep the charade going will do the weirdest things then pronounce the entire folly fixed until it isnt. In the U.S. Housing Starts rose (894K vs 840K expected & prior revised lower to 872K). Most of this increase was in the Midwest and especially so in the West (dare I suggest Las Vegas, Phoenix and Stockton?). Housing Permits declined (866K vs 865K expected & prior revised lower to 890K). http://albertpeia.com/daveschart112012.gif  Meanwhile Hewlett Packard (HPQ) disclosed serious accounting improprietiesat Autonomy Corp resulting in a charge of $8.8 billion and the stock cratered almost 12%. Autonomy Corp was a recent acquisition by HPQ and apparently misrepresented its financial condition meaning the company didnt do an adequate due diligence job. Along the same lines was the revelation of the largest hedge fund insider trading scandal ever. This just feeds the lack of trust many investors feel is present in markets. Its said that SAC Capital Advisors controls 10% of trading on the NYSE.In the unsettled Middle East a cease fire is supposed to occur at 5 PM EST. Israel has inflicted heavy damage on Hamas in Gaza and many believe theyre not really interested in an invasion since theyre more effective from afar it seems. This cease fire idea drove the price of crude oil (USO) down sharply on the day. (Late breaking: the Israelis have yet to sign off on the deal whatever it is.) The potential cease fire also caused gold (GLD) to drop in price as risks of war were reduced.Stocks spent the day moving back and forth between unchanged to slightly lower as investors look for direction following Mondays outsized gains. Given the housing data it wasnt surprising to see homebuilders (ITB) and (XHB) have better performance. Bonds (TLT) and (TIP) for example saw prices drop and yields rise. Commodities (DBC) gave back Mondays gains as heavy weightings from energy drove prices lower. Volume was quite light but bulls managed to stage a late day stick save to keep things respectable. Breadth per the WSJ was mixed overall…’

 

 

Grant, usagold.com: ‘…Fed chairman Ben Bernanke said in a speech today that the US will continue to face many headwinds to growth, but the fiscal cliff is the most immediate danger. He warned that the Fed doesn't have the tools to fully offset a drop over the fiscal cliff, which would likely push the US back into recession. He acknowledged that "the federal budget is on an unsustainable path," yet urged Congress to raise the debt ceiling in order to "avoid any possibility of a catastrophic default on the nation's Treasury securities and other obligations."…’ { Wow! Talk about being behind the curve! Hussman: the U.S. economy entered a recession during the third quarter well before Sandy was even on the weather map.  And, when you take into account actual, real inflation,  Financial Crisis Phase II Is Ahead at Forbes Bert Dohmen  In late 2007, I wrote the book Prelude To Meltdown, predicting the global crisis that occurred the following year.  I now see a similar confluence of events .. the new recession has started.”… Over the past 33 years, we have called the start of every recession..Currently, the GDP deflator is 1.8%, which hardly reflects the true rise in prices. Therefore, what is counted as growth, is actually price increases. Actual inflation..is now more than 11%. Using that to adjust GDP for inflation, would show that the economy is now in a very sharp contraction…’ . Pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america is such a b***s*** nation! }

Hostess Mediation Fails, Liquidation To Proceed; Furious Laid Off Workers Now Turn On Labor Union

Last week when discussing the next steps for the company, and specifically the hope that mediation may resolve the epic animosity between management and workers, we stated that "What makes a mediation improbable is that the antagonism between the feuding sides has certainly hit a level of no return: "Several unions also objected to the company's plans, saying they made "a mockery" of laws protecting collective bargaining agreements in bankruptcy.

Jeremy Grantham Looks At The Future Of America: "On The Road To Zero Growth"

With a little luck, U.S. GDP growth (even after an increasing squeeze from rising resource costs and environmental damage) should remain modestly positive, even out to 2030 and 2050, in the range of 1% at the high down to a few basis points at worst. Increasingly, the growth will be qualitative. Qualitatively, growth is likely to be limited to services as manufactured goods will bear the brunt of the rising input costs. It would certainly help a lot if considerable changes were made in how GDP is measured. It needs to be closer to what we all apparently think it is already: a reasonable measure of the utility of useful goods and services. The key issue will be how much unnecessary pain we inflict on ourselves by defending the status quo, mainly by denying the unpleasant parts of the puzzle and moving very slowly to address real problems. This, unfortunately, is our current mode. We need to move aggressively with capital while we still have it and brain power to completely re-tool energy, farming, and resource efficiency. We need to do all of this to buy time for our global population to gracefully decline. It can certainly be done.

 

Stocks Slump As Bernanke Admits "Doesn't Have Tools To Ease Fiscal Cliff"

For the third time in a row, a speaker from the Fed has opened their mouth and the market has fallen in. This time, unlike Yellen's silliness, Bernanke admitted a few ugly truths by removing hopes for an IOER cut and bluntly explaining that the Fed 'will not go back to work' to help Schumer and his fiscal cliff buddies:

*BERNANKE SAYS FED ABILITY TO OFFSET HEADWINDS `NOT INFINITE'

*BERNANKE SAYS FED DOESN'T HAVE TOOLS TO PREVENT GOING OFF CLIFF

*BERNANKE SAYS HIS FISCAL ADVICE IS `DO NO HARM'

*BERNANKE: WRONG TO THINK INTEREST ON EXCESS RESERVES MAJOR TOOL

S&P futures fell around 8 points as he uttered these words but was rescued by some anxious BIS scrambling in EURUSD, before falling back to reality (along with AAPL).

Former SAC Trader Busted With Biggest Insider Trading Profit In History

Over two years ago, on November 5, 2010, weeks before news broke out that the SEC had caught hedge funds in a massive insider trading scheme involving expert networks, and before the phrase expert network was even mentioned in places away from hedge funds, we wrote an article, titled "Is The SEC's Insider Trading Case Implicating FrontPoint A Sting Operation Aimed At S.A.C. Capital?" that predicted everything that has transpired with SAC since then: we said expert networks would be exposed as the root of virtually all "information arbitrage" alpha by Steve Cohen, more importantly, we exposed various biotech stock trading patterns, where the informational benefits from easily bribable doctors would result in immediate profits courtesy of advance knowledge of Phase 2, 3 and NDA results. Today, we discover not just how deep the SAC insider trading schemes went, but that the profit from such information abuse amounted to hundreds of millions in standalone cases. Adding these together and one can see why Steve Cohen - whose knowledge of these epic inside trading scheme is of course never implied by us: after all, that's what the DOJ, the SEC and the various DA offices are for - was generating 20% returns year after year and able to pocket 3% and 50%.

 

Bernanke Promises More Of The Same, Warns Of Fiscal Cliff - Live Webcast

The week's most anticipated speech (given Obama's absence from DC) is here. Bernanke's Economic Club of New York extravaganza - where he has previously hinted at new or further policy - is upon us. Sure enough, it's a smorgasbord of we'll do whatever-it-takes (but won't bailout Congress) easing-to-infinity, housing's recovering but we want moar, simply re-iterating his comments from last week...

*BERNANKE SAYS FISCAL CLIFF WOULD POSE `SUBSTANTIAL THREAT'

*BERNANKE SAYS CONGRESS, WHITE HOUSE NEED TO AVERT FISCAL CLIFF

*BERNANKE SAYS FED TO ENSURE RECOVERY IS SECURE BEFORE RATE RISE

*BERNANKE SAYS HOUSING RECOVERY `LIKELY TO REMAIN MODERATE'

*BERNANKE SAYS CRISIS REDUCED ECONOMY'S POTENTIAL GROWTH RATE

However, as we have noted previously, once you've gone QE-Eternity, you never go back... and we would this is the 3rd time in a row that someone from the Fed has spoken and stocks have sold off.

 

Guest Post: Europe Is Now Sinking Fast

You dont have to be an economic genius to understand that the perpetual uncertainty over the Eurozones future has led to a widespread freeze on industrial investment and development. Industrial production is collapsing at an accelerating rate, falling 7% year-on-year in Spain and Greece, 4.8% in Italy, and 2.1% in France. Since the answer to the question of Who will ultimately pick up the tab? when a Eurozone member defaults or leaves is not at all clear, every player there is eyeing the others suspiciously. In fact, the "stability" of Europe right now hinges completely on no one making a move. What odds do you give that Mexican standoff of lasting? Time is working against all countries in the Eurozone because the good are being dragged down by the bad.

11-19-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   SHORT SQUEEZE MONDAY  11-19-12  There are three issues that are front and center: the fiscal cliff, Greece, and the Middle East.Bulls are reading too much into the political happy talk from Friday. Republican and democratic leaders positions are deeply dug in. Listening to House member talking points away from the Rose Garden and youll note that there will be no compromise without tax increases on the wealthy (Pelosi et al) or spending cuts (Boehner). So despite Fridays gathering reflecting goodwill and the best of intentions, nothing has changed. Indeed there is still a wide divide as noted via the AP here. A Greece debt negotiation after many months and moving deadlines still has no resolution. Like the fiscal cliff in the U.S. they all would like things moved further into the future. As some point the music must stop. The troika hasnt found any solution to grant the country funds to meet its obligations this week. The latest news from Greece included a Greek official stating the government wont accept an IMF request of a 20,000 reduction in state workers. In the Middle East the fighting continues and each side is looking for an honorable cease fire.There was some optimistic economic data in the U.S. as Existing Home Sales increased (4.79M vs 4.70M expected & prior 4.75M) and the Housing Market Index rose (46 vs 42 expected and prior 41). This is impressive but a glance at the chart below reveals the Home Market Index is only back to levels seen in 2001. { AP-these are predominantly distressed/foreclosure sales previously deferred. }

In other news the WSJ reported in a headline story Investment Falls Off a Cliff it was noted how much U.S. companies are cutting spending at the fastest pace since the recession. Of course this is an extremely negative story that bulls have shrugged-off believing instead the rosy Rose Garden scenario. Stocks reacted positively to the overall tone from Fridays Rose Garden happy talk rallying sharply on light volume. Those sectors up most (technology) were those that were weakest previously as a significant short-squeeze was put in play. Bulls must believe its better to pay more taxes than fret about spending cuts.The dollar (UUP) was sharply lower while gold (GLD) rallied as Bucky dropped. Commodity (DBC) prices rallied across the board as the dollar fell. Oil (USO) was sharply higher also on the weaker dollar not to mention Middle East tension. Bonds (TLT) fell as it was risk on once again for markets. As indicated volume was unimpressive given the scope of the rally but this is in keeping with many previous market melt-ups. Breadth per the WSJ was quite positive and may have approached a 90/10 in some sectors. One thing you can take to the bank is markets are no longer oversold…’

 

 

 

 

U.S. stocks surge on hope for a debt deal  Marketwatch { Hopium back in a big way and bigger than ever! Come on! They’re ‘all in this together’! Of course they’ll do some kind of ‘kick the can’ deal. The reality is that the debt problem is an insurmountable problem, in large part of their making, electioneering, politicking as usual. As for those who’ve belittled Romney for stating a fact, the reality is that both parties are guilty of same (whether in the form of a tax cut/break, government contract, failure to prosecute fraud/crime, etc.) and I’m frankly surprised that Romney didn’t point to the threats of violence by the niggers, and the rampant voter fraud extant in this banana republic. As for slimy newt calling Romney nuts for his stating reality, keep in mind that the b***s*** newty has been on the receiving end of such largesse for quite some time, unable to do anything of value and hence confined to his schmooze and b***s*** paradigm which is pervasive in america, along with fraud among other crimes. This ‘rally’ is an especially great opportunity to sell/take profits since there’s much worse to come! }

On America's Short-Termist And Fraud-Provoking Culture

Two months ago we posted an excellent introduction from Dan Ariely on the truth about dishonesty. The focus on our ease of rationalizing dishonest acts struck quite a chord and as a follow-up the behavioral economist discussed several real-life examples with Capital Account's Lauren Lyster. Critically, firms are shifting their focus from long-term growth to maximizing 'shareholder-value' (since any short-term mis-step in a liquidity-fueled boom such as this is punished to the point of 'going-concern') and the increasingly short-term focused attitude not only hurts employees and taxpayers but serves to provoke a culture of dishonesty or fraud. Ariely also notes, rather interestingly, that new disclosure requirements for 'academic-based' reports merely creates a more exaggerated result - since report-preparers now know the result will be discounted further. Again, one could argue, that Bernanke's ZIRP world (and an under-the-surface reality known to all that we are on a precipice) creates an ever-decreasing time-horizon for every 'invisible-hand'-driven act we undertake: we have shifted from "Get Rich Quick" to "Get Rich Quicker...By Any Means."

 

 

Global Shadow Banking System Rises To $67 Trillion, Just Shy Of 100% Of Global GDP

 

Earlier today, the Financial Stability Board (FSB), one of the few transnational financial "supervisors" which is about as relevant in the grand scheme of things as the BIS, whose Basel III capitalization requirements will never be adopted for the simple reason that banks can not afford, now or ever, to delever and dispose of assets to the degree required for them to regain "stability" (nearly $4 trillion in Europe alone as we explained months ago), issued a report on Shadow Banking. The report is about 3 years late (Zero Hedge has been following this topic since 2010), and is largely meaningless, coming to the same conclusion as all other historical regulatory observations into shadow banking have done in the recent past, namely that it is too big, too unwieldy, and too risky, but that little if anything can be done about it. Specifically, the FSB finds that the size of the US shadow banking system is estimated to amount to $23 trillion (higher than our internal estimate of about $15 trillion due to the inclusion of various equity-linked products such as ETFs, which hardly fit the narrow definition of a "bank" with its three compulsory transformation vectors), is the largest in the world, followed by the Euro area with a $22 trillion shadow bank system (or 111% of total Euro GDP in 2011, down from 128% at its peak in 2007), and the UK in third, with $9 trillion. Combined total shadow banking, not to be confused with derivatives, which at least from a theoretical level can be said to offset each other (good luck with that when there is even one counterparty failure), is now $67 trillion, $6 trillion higher than previously thought, and virtually the same as global GDP of $70 trillion at the end of 2011.

 

 

Guest Post: The Unadulterated Gold Standard Part 2

In Part I, we looked at the period prior to and during the time of what we now call the Classical Gold Standard.  It should be underscored that it worked pretty darned well.  Under this standard, the United States produced more wealth at a faster pace than any other country before, or since. In Part II we focus on the Post-1913 (Fed to Nixon) era and the fact that - for many reasons, politicians felt that a quasi-government agency could make better credit decisions than the market. This regime was unstable, as economists such as Jacques Rueff and Robert Triffin realized. Since then, it has become obvious that without the anchor of gold, the monetary system is un-tethered, unbounded, and unhinged.  Capital is being destroyed at an exponentially accelerating rate, and this can be seen by exponentially rising debt that can never be repaid, a falling interest rate, and numerous other phenomena.

 

 

 

Guest Post: Understanding the "Exorbitant Privilege" of the U.S. Dollar

The dollar rises for the same reason gold and grain rise: scarcity and demand. Which is easier to export: manufactured goods that require shipping ore and oil halfway around the world, smelting the ore into steel and turning the oil into plastics, laboriously fabricating real products and then shipping the finished manufactured goods to the U.S. where fierce pricing competition strips away much of the premium/profit? Or electronically printing money and exchanging it for real products, steel, oil, etc.? I think we can safely say that creating money out of thin air and "exporting" that is much easier than actually mining, extracting or manufacturing real goods. This astonishing exchange of conjured money for real goods is the heart of the "exorbitant privilege" that accrues to the issuer of the global reserve currency (U.S. dollar). To understand the reserve currency, we must understand Triffin's Paradox.

 

 

 

Europe's Depression, Japan's Disaster, And The World's Debt Prison

Together, the market and democracy are what we like to call "the system." The system has driven and enticed bankers and politicians to get the world into trouble. One of the side effects of the crisis is that all ideological shells have been incinerated. Truths about the rationality of markets and the symbiosis of market and democracy have gone up in flames. Is it possible that we are not experiencing a crisis, but rather a transformation of our economic system that feels like an unending crisis, and that waiting for it to end is hopeless? Is it possible that we are waiting for the world to conform to our worldview once again, but that it would be smarter to adjust our worldview to conform to the world? At first glance the world is stuck in a debt crisis; but, in fact, it is in the midst of a massive transformation process, a deep-seated change to our critical and debt-ridden system, which is suited to making us poor and destroying our prosperity, social security and democracy, and in the midst of an upheaval taking place behind the backs of those in charge. A great bet is underway, a poker game with stakes in the trillions, between those who are buying time with central bank money and believe that they can continue as before, and the others, who are afraid of the biggest credit bubble in history and are searching for ways out of capitalism based on borrowed money.

 

 

 

Stocks Jump Most In 5 Months But Bonds Ain't Buying It (Again)

Best day in 5 months for stocks. AAPL jumping to one-week highs with its 2nd biggest low to high swing in 3 years. Wherever you look, the worst came first and so the talking heads re-appeared saying the worst is over and all is rainbows, unicorns, and mountains are once again molehills. Unfortunately, while ETFs were smashed higher (HYG biggest move in a year on 2nd largest volume ever, VXX crushed), risk assets broadly speaking were not playing along with Treasuries especially drifting lower in yield from the European close (and EURUSD) as stocks surged to the highs of the day. Commodities soared with Oil leading the way - though post-Europe everything flattened and leaked lower. VIX collapsed 1.2vols to end just above 15% (notably ahead of stocks relatively speaking) but equity volume on the day was dismally low as S&P 500 futures broke back above the 200DMA amid larger than average trade size.

 

 

AAPL's 4 Sigma Bounce Is The Second Biggest In Two Years

Today's AAPL move, on no news, is as of this moment a $35+ move in one trading session, or a $30+ billion market cap move in one trading session, and a nearly $60 move from the Friday lows. As the histogram below shows, in absolute terms, this is the second largest intraday move up in the stock in the past two years, and a 4 sigma move for a stock which has moved 7% on a 1.7% standard deviation, for no other reason than the "stock is oversold" or whatever other narrative those who put narratives to stock moves have ascribed to it today. And with HFT's determining valuation based on momentum, RSI, Bollinger bands, and other meaningless New Normal technicals, we have just gone from massively oversold, to massively-er overbought.

11-16-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   THE PREDICTABILITY OF DC BS  11-16-12  In a WSJ story, the current WH fiscal cliff trial balloon is to replace the sequester by kicking the can into 2013 which is something thats been anticipated. Doing so would buy time but also create another date to fret about in the future which resolves nothing. The absence of leadership is quite stunning as the U.S. adopts the eurozone delay model. So after the meeting and banality this statement was issued by Mitch McConnell: Were prepared to put revenue on the table, provided we fix the real problems" I think that stops the happy talk dead in its tracks unless McConnell might be willing to redefine everything. Further Nancy Pelosi stated bluntly: I was focusing on how we send a message of confidence to consumers,to the markets in the short run, too. As DC goes watch what they do and ignore the BS.One fiscal cliff aspect little discussed is its impact on the states should negotiations fail. ThePew Center on the States has issued a report with impact percentages for each state. You can find your state with the download.It looks like the FHA (Federal Housing Administration) is preparing politicians and taxpayers for a bailout as mortgage losses shrink reserves. Also on Friday the government fined JP Morgan (JPM) and Credit Suisse (CSGN) $416M to settle mortgage related fraud charges. These are mere wrist slaps but the U.S. attorney asserts more charges and fines are pending. (Deep thought: I wonder if the U.S. attorney can sue the SEC for breach of oversight duties. Well of course not silly!)Tensions on Israeli border continue as Egypts Mursi visits Gaza amid warnings to Israel wheretroops are mobilizing. As this is written intense fighting is taking place between Israelis and HamasAnd in other news, Asian stocks were mostly lower. Chinas CSI 300 fell to its lowest level since 2009. The eurozone is quiet for the moment but real troubles remain on the horizon. Whatever the troika decides for Greece and Spain must be approved by Germany and Finance Minister Schauble who still talks a tough game. In the UK there are well-founded fears of a triple dip back into recession. Meanwhile in France, Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici said he sees no French financial crisis and takes the greatest umbrage (sacrebleu!) such an event could exist. Meanwhile in the U.S. Industrial Production was weak (-.4% vs .2% expected & prior revised to .2%). One frankly absurd note was the government attempted to assert this decline was due to Sandy. Yet Sandy hit on the 29th of October meaning this assertion was based on just two days. This is why people dont trust government reports.Much in the news was Hostess Brands, a private company producing among other treats Twinkies, decided to liquidate the company instead of dealing with a strike. This meant layoffs for over 18,000 workers.As mentioned equity markets globally were much oversold entering an options expiration day. There were good odds of fireworks and a reversal higher. Any spark could and did unleash the animal spirits . Odd things can happen on options expiration and perhaps we saw one with a short-term gold bear raid. But stocks ended the day on a late run higher as da boyz in the options pits were hunting down strike prices. Leading the way higher were beaten down utility sectors (XLU), small caps (IWM) and homebuilders (ITB). The dollar (UUP) ended slightly higher once again while gold (GLD) was weaker. Bonds (IEF) and (TLT) for example were mixed. Commodities (DBC) spiked aided primarily by crude oil (USO) as the violence in Gaza/Israel expanded.Volume was much higher which, given market conditions and options expiration, shouldnt surprise. Breadth per the WSJ was positive reducing current short-term oversold conditions…’

The Single Most Important Research of My Career

November 16, 2012 http://gainspainscapital.com

 

http://albertpeia.com/summersresearch.htm

‘…Because of this, the entire Western financial system has sovereign bonds (US Treasuries, German Bunds, Japanese sovereign bonds, etc) as the senior most asset pledged as collateral for hundreds of trillions of Dollars worth of trades.The hundreds of trillions of Dollars of trades stems from a 2004 SEC ruling in which the SEC ruled that broker-dealers with capital bases above $5 billion (think Goldman, JP Morgan, etc) could increase their leverage above previously required levels while also abandoning market to market valuation methods (a methodology through which a security was priced at the value that a market participant would pay for it).So, after the 2004 ruling, large broker dealers were permitted to increase their leverage levels dramatically. And because they could value their trades at whatever price their in-house models chose (what are the odds that these models were conservative?), the broker-dealers and large Wall Street banks are now sitting on over $700 trillion worth of derivatives trades.Now, every large bank/ broker dealer knows that the other banks/dealers are overstating the value of their securities. As a result, these derivatives trades, like all financial instruments, require collateral to be pledged to insure that if the trades blow up, the other party has access to some asset to compensate it for the loss. As a result, the ultimate backstop for the $700+ trillion derivatives market today is sovereign bonds. When you realize this, the entire picture for the Central Banks actions over the last five years becomes clear: every move has been about accomplishing one of two things:

#1)   Giving the over-leveraged banks access to cash for immediate funding needs (QE 1, QE 2, LTRO 1, LTRO 2, etc)

#2)   Giving the banks a chance to swap out low grade collateral (Mortgage Backed Securities and other crap debts) for cash that they could use to purchase higher grade collateral (QE 1s MBS component, Operation Twist 2 which lets bank their long-term Treasuries and buy short-term Treasuries, QE 3, etc).

So, when the ECB swapped out its Greek bonds for new bonds that would not take a haircut during the second bailout, the ECB was making sure that the Greek bonds on its balance sheet remained untouchable and as a result could still stand as high grade collateral for the banks that had lent them to the ECB.So the ECB effectively allowed those banks that had dumped Greek sovereign bonds onto its balance sheet to avoid taking a loss and not having to put up new collateral on their trade portfolios.Which brings us to the other issue surrounding the second Greek bailout: the fact that 80% of the money went to EU banks that were Greek bondholders instead of the Greek economy.Here again, the issue was about giving money to the banks that were using Greek bonds as collateral, to insure that they had enough capital on hand. Piecing this together, its clear that the Greek situation actually had nothing to do with helping Greece. Forget about Greeces debt issues, or protests, or even the political decisions the real story was that the bailouts were all about insuring that the EU banks that were using Greek bonds as collateral were kept whole by any means possible.Now, Greece was always the small player in this mess. Its entire sovereign bond market is a mere 300 billion.Spain and Italy, by comparison, have 1.78 trillion and 1.87 trillion in external debt respectively. I do not have an exact figure for how much of the derivatives market uses Spanish and Italian sovereign bonds as collateral, but I can create an estimate using the US bank data I have available. In the US, we know that the top four banks have over $222 trillion in derivatives exposure with just $7 trillion in total assets. So the leverage here is roughly 31 to 1.Using this as a ballpark estimate for derivatives leverage, it is very possible that Spain and Italys sovereign bonds are pledged as collateral for well over $100 trillion worth of derivatives trades ($1.78 trillion X 31 + $1.87 trillion X 31).This is why Spain is dragging its feet about asking for a bailout: the mess of trying to sort out the collateral issues for 1.78 trillion in collateral that is backstopping what is likely tens of TRILLIONS of Euros worth of trades is capable of causing systemic failure. This is why Ive been warning that 2008 was just the warm-up. What is coming will be far far worse…’

Guest Post: Ceilings, Cliffs And TAG - 3 Immediate Risks

The recent market sell-off has not been about the re-election of President Obama but rather the repositioning of assets by professional investors in anticipation of three key events coming between now and the end of this year - the "fiscal cliff", the debt ceiling and the expiration of the Transaction Account Guarantee (TAG).  Each of these events have different impacts on the economy and the financial markets - but the one thing that they have in common is that they will all be battle grounds between a divided House and Senate.  While there has been a plethora of articles, and media coverage, about the upcoming standoff between the two parties - little has been written to cover the details of exactly what will be impacted and why it is so important to the financial markets and economy. We remain hopeful that our elected leaders will allow cooler heads to prevail and that they will begin to work towards solutions that alleviate some of the risks of economic contraction while setting forth logical plans for fiscal reform.  However, while we are hopeful of such progress, "hope" is not an investment strategy to manage portfolios by.  If we are right things are likely to get worse before a resolution is reached - but maybe that is why the "investment professionals" have already been heading for the exits.

 

Guest Post: Very Few People Understand This Trend...

There are only a few people who get it: the era of cheap food is over.

Stocks End Green; AAPL Volume Obscene; Treasury/FX Volatility Unseen

Equities closed the day-session near the highs of the day as OPEX shenanigans were evident everywhere. Early and ugly macro data was swept under the proverbial carpet (as it is transitory Sandy effects?), the ubiquitous European-close trend reversal started us higher, and then platitudes from D.C., and a late-day Fed-Head jawbone did the rest on a day when AAPL saw its largest volume in 8 months and pinned between 520 and 530 VWAPs. Risk assets did not follow the path of most exuberance that stocks did on the day (surprise). Credit tracked with stocks today in general but remains an underperformer on the week. Oil was the week's big beta winner with the USD (despite underlying dispersion in EUR and JPY) and Treasuries rather dull. Gold sagged but by the close today the S&P 500 had recoupled with the barbarous relic on a beta basis. VIX compressed (exciting some that are incapable of comprehending a term structure) as put overlays were unwound into OPEX (and given the VWAP/volume moves it would seem AAPL saw hedges taken down and exposure reduced). Red week as stocks continue to catch down to bond's new normal.

 

 

The FHA's Fatal Scattergram Flaw

Judging by the media rancor, the fact that the FHA has run out of capital is a stunning shock since besides, housing is in recovery right? Well, there is one simple reason why the FHA is FUBAR and is only going to get worse (cue Geithner Bailout). As the only player left, the FHA has simply been the sole source of mortgage provision to the worst of the worst. The following chart from Chicago Booth's Amir Sufi shows the diabolic-distribution of poor-performing zip codes that the FHA has lent into - even during the crisis.

 

 

Are 'Equity' Vigilantes Keeping The Press Honest On The Fiscal Cliff?

In the past it has been the bond market whose vigilantes had rampaged across the fields to keep policymakers honest - but something has changed with the Fed's boot on the bond market. As BofAML notes, when the Fed was too soft on inflation or the fiscal deficit was out of control, interest rates spiked higher. In our view, this has changed and today the stock market is the disciplining force for Washington. We have argued this perspective for a while - that nothing will be done until we get a stock market crash - but the press will continue to make molehills out of mountains it seems as BofAML adds, the most obvious lesson of the last week is that when Washington approaches a policy impasse, the financial press tends to signal a resolution of the crisis many times before it happens. Dont believe it. After elections there is always conciliatory talk: no one wants to be seen as a sore loser or a gloating winner. The risk remains huge and the four hurdles to a grand bargain seem to be getting larger - no matter what the press wants us to think - investors should look past reassuring rhetoric and focus on the underlying reality.

Today's "Fiscal Cliff Compromise" Moment Brought To You By The Congressional Short Squeeze Inception Team

Once again the market falls for the politicians' snake oil (as we explained before). Unconvinced? This is what none other than "Fiscal Cliff compromise is imminent" photo op participant Nancy Pelosi said moments later to the WSJ:

Ms. Pelosi said. "I was focusing on how we send a message of confidence to consumers, to the markets in the short run, too."

And there you have it from the horse's mouth: absolutely nothing of actual substance in today's presser which was completely hollow of anything remotely resembling an actual compromise, but merely the same type of  Euro-propaganda we have grown to loath and despise for the past 3 years, where a flashing red headline was supposed to generate a short squeeze. It succeeded. There is one open question: did Nancy Pelosi's multi-millionaire investor husband Paul Pelosi know ahead of time what the announcement would say, and did he buy any securities in hopes of a "short run" gain?

 

 

Guest Post: Europe In the Grip of Anti-Austerity Protests

As if we needed more proof that the course implemented by the eurocracy becomes increasingly untenable politically, millions decided to strike in several European countries this week. The demonstrations have, as they are wont to do these days, turned violent in a number places. The protests were most intense in Spain, where unemployment is at over 25% and desperation over the collapse of the bubble economy is growing by the day. This is what happens when after decades of socialism, the money to pay for the freebies finally runs out. What the protesters don't seem to get: the status quo ante cannot be recreated by decree. There is no magic wand for anyone to wave. The protesters have every right to be enraged, but they are raging against something that cannot be changed at the flick of a switch the wealth is gone.

 

Tumbling October Industrial Production And Capacity Utilization Blamed Solely On Hurricane Sandy

Because not one Wall Street analyst could have possibly factored in the impact of Sandy into their expectations of the month's Industrial Production, which in October declined by -0.4% to 96.6 from 97.0 in the Fed's index, well below consensus expectations of a 0.2% rise, and down from last month's 0.4% increase, it is only logical to blame it all on Sandy. Sure enough, this is what the Fed just did: "Hurricane Sandy, which held down production in the Northeast region at the end of October, is estimated to have reduced the rate of change in total output by nearly 1 percentage point." So let's get this straight: Sandy - which hit on October 29, or with about 94% of the month of October done and impacted New York and New Jersey, not the entire US, is responsible for 250% of the entire October 0.4% drop?  Can we please get back to the "It's all Bush's fault" excuses already. At least those were idiotic and funny. Blaming everything on Sandy is just the former. And yes, capacity utilization for the entire USA which came at 77.8%, the lowest since November 2011, and well below expectations of 78.3%, was obviously crushed by a tropical storm that impacted New York and New Jersey for 3 days in the month. Brilliant.

 

 

Fiscal Cliff Can About To Be Kicked Into 2013?

With precisely 13 working sessions left for Congress in 2012, it is time to ratchet up the can kicking rhetoric a bit. Sure enough, here comes the White House, via the Wall Street Journal, doing just that.

WHITE HOUSE IN ADVANCED INTERNAL DISCUSSIONS ON PLAN TO REPLACE SEQUESTER - SOURCES - DJ

CONCEPT WOULD KICK MAJOR DEFICIT-REDUCTION TALKS INTO 2013 - DJ

CONCEPT WOULD BE PART OF BROADER NEGOTIATIONS ON TACKLING 'FISCAL CLIFF' - DJ

Because when unable to reach a compromise over anything, what is the best option? Just stick head in sand, and demand that the Mr. Chairman gets to work. As for the news above, this is largely irrelevant for the actual fiscal cliff negotiations and the futures buying algos are once again in for a rude awakening.

11-15-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   ECONOMIC DATA UNHELPFUL FOR BULLS  11-15-12  According to data released today the eurozone has entered recession, which would make two since 2009. China stocks fell once again post the Peoples Party Congress which only succeeded in naming a new leader Xi Jinping. Xi, a conservative, offered a bewildering array of heros beginning with Mao and ending with his immediate predecessor. The PBOC cut interest rates to curb the rise in the yuan (CYB) while the yen (FXY) (YCS) continued to fall.U.S. Jobless Claims soared (439K vs 376K expected & prior revised higher to 361K). Most of this was blamed on Sandy but the largest number of jobless claims came from Pennsylvania and Ohio. The Empire State Mfg Survey dropped (-5.2 vs -5 expected & prior -6.16); the Philly Fed Survey was a stinker (-10.7 vs 4.5 expected a& prior 5.7); and, the CPI was basically flat and hardly worth mentioning (or even believing in).Its reported that the FHA (Federal Housing Authority) is about to exhaust its reserves available due to mortgage delinquencies so be prepared for another taxpayer bailout. Currently the FHA has insured 739,000 loans that are 90 days or longer past due or are in foreclosure. This could total as much as $100 billion. These are the kind of facts bulls hollering housing recovery cant seem to understand. And, all of this is happening when household formation in the U.S. is nearing an all-time low. So, I guess Flip That House TV show will only have government bureaucrats and bankers as the audience.Along these same lines, and something financial markets should be focused on like a laser, is so-called Generations X and Y may be lost as potential investors since beyond social media and Apple they seem interested in little else. After all two bear markets in a decade hardly lead to investment enthusiasm does it?Behemoth Walmart (WMT) disappointed with a revenue miss of $113.93 billion vs $114.89 billion. The outlook also missed analysts expectations at earnings in a range of $4.88-$4.93 vs $4.94 expected. This report negatively affected the retail sector (XRT) and (XLY). The markets are short-term much oversold and rallies could happen at any time for any, even the most specious, reasons. I posted today a commentary The Great Depression Part 2, Will the Future Follow the Past. The monthly charts from the 1930s are eerily similar to the current period but not necessarily a prediction.The dollar (UUP) was only slightly higher while a gold (GLD) bear raid was in full swing. Commodity markets (DBC) were weaker on the dollar and lousy economic data. Within the sector Oil (USO) was weaker despite Israeli and Hamas cross border bombardments. Bonds (TLT) (IEF) were flat while the more speculative high yield sector (HYG) continues to trade down with stocks.Volume Thursday was still high. Bulls tried some rally attempts throughout the day Thursday but couldnt pull-off a major reversal off. Breadth per the WSJ was still negative and just builds on oversold conditions…’

 

The Worst Economic Numbers In More Than A Year

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com

 

http://albertpeia.com/terribleeconomicnumbers.htm

 

{ Post-election, of course! }

With everything else that is going on in the world, a lot of people have failed to notice that we are seeing some of the worst economic numbers that we have seen in more than a year.  For example, it was announced on Thursday that initial claims for unemployment benefits have hit their highest level in a year and a half initial unemployment claims tend to have a very strong correlation with the overall performance of the economy.  We also continue to see poverty statistics rise.  According to government statistics released earlier this month, the number of Americans living in poverty and the number of Americans on food stamps are both at all-time record highs.  Meanwhile, the Dow and the S&P 500 are both down more than 5 percent since the election and the U.S. government rolled up 22 billion dollars more debt in October 2012 than it did in October 2011.  The unfortunate truth is that things are not getting better.  The U.S. economy continues to become weaker and more unstable, and there are a whole lot of reasons to be very pessimistic about our economic situation as we move into the winter months…’

 

What Really Happened When Lehman Failed And Why Spain Will Be Much Worse

http://albertpeia.com/reallehmanspainworse.htm

 

Countless pages have been written about why Lehman caused the system to almost implode. However, the reality is that Lehman nearly took down the entire financial system for two reasons:

#1)   Lehmans $155 billion worth of bonds were used as collateral in hundreds of billions of Dollars worth of trades.

#2)   Lehmans 8,000 clients who were all using Lehman to make trades saw the collateral that they had placed with the firm (to backstop their portfolios) frozen…’

 

The Bernanke-Obama-Keynes Toxic Triangle Dead End

In the short run (and this is what is so insidious about the Feds artificially low interest rates), all we are seeing is an illusion of economic progress. The choice for the status quo made in last weeks presidential election was an uninformed oneat no fault of the votersmade in the fog of monetary distortion and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernankes continuous campaign of disinformation. Thus, investment in this illusory economy is malinvestment, or investment that always unravels with the interventions inevitable end, due to either untenable credit levels (such as todays corporate debt-to-asset ratio, still at historic highs) or a resource crunch (rising commodity prices) that eliminates any advantage from printing money; and one or both of these scenarios is unavoidable. This is our grievous position in the United States today, trapped in the status quo by first consequences, by what we can see, due to a cause that we cannot even see. And so we are left to learn from experience, an eventual tragic unfolding of our collective malinvestment. As Bastiat said, Experience teaches effectually, but brutally.

 

How America's Middle Class, And Future Pensioners, Bailed Out A Generation Of Overzealous Homebuyers

In the current Bernanke-Obama-Keynes toxic triangle (defined previously here) economy, blink too long and you will miss the latest bailout. While 4 years ago, it was America's M.A.D.-hostage taxpaying middle class that had no choice but to fund the trillions in direct Fed cash handouts and guarantees to bail out the banks, in the process saving and preserving the trillions in wealth for America's uber wealthy (the "1%") class, ever since then it has been the government's turn to rescue the country's lower and lower-middle classes (the "47%"), who, with no gun to their heads, decided to splurge during the height of the housing bubble (insurmountable mortgage payments and $0 down notwithstanding) and buy that aspirational McMansion that would make them so much more appealing in the eyes of the next door neighbor (who too could never afford their house in the first place). This has happened courtesy of a progressively more pervasive mortgage forgiveness plan, which has seen the total amount of debt funding a given home purchase shrink little by little each day. However, since there is no free lunch anywhere, certainly not when a bank's balance sheet is being impaired, like in 2008, someone is once again on the hook for this latest bailout. That someone, not surprisingly, is again America's middle class that lived within its means, that saved money while others splurged, and even put cash away for retirement, handing it over to various Pension investment vehicles.

 

 

Guest Post: The FHA Is Blowing Up: Bad News For The Housing Market

The FHA has been the key element to the phony housing recovery the government has been trying to create.  In the wake of the collapse of 2008, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac blew up and what was left to pick up the pieces was the FHA.  No private player would issue loans with down payments of 3%, but this was no problem for the FHA! Well - yes! "The Federal Housing Administration is expected to report this week it could exhaust its reserves because of rising mortgage delinquencies" This is a big deal.  The FHA is already in trouble despite a miraculous housing recovery and we havent even hit a severe cyclical economic slowdown yet, which is almost certain to occur in 2013.  What shambles do you think the housing market will be in once that happens and the last backstop to housing is broke?

 

 

Bernanke Laments Lack Of Housing Bubble, Demands More From Tapped Out Households

Moments ago Ben Bernanke released a speech titled "Challenges in Housing and Mortgage Markets" in which he said that while the US housing revival faces significant obstacles, the Fed will do everything it can to back the "housing recovery" (supposedly on top of the $40 billion in MBS it monetizes each month, and/or QEternity+1?). He then goes on to say that tight lenders may be thwarting the recovery, and is concerned about high unemployment, things that should be prevented as housing is a "powerful headwind to the recovery." In other words - the same canned gibberish he has been showering upon those stupid and naive enough to listen and/or believe him, because once the current downtrend in the market is confirmed to be a long-term decline, the 4th dead cat bounce in housing will end. But perhaps what is most amusing is that the Fed is now accusing none other than the US household for not doing their patriotic duty to reflate the peak bubble. To wit: "The Federal Reserve will continue to do what we can to support the housing recovery, both through our monetary policy and our regulatory and supervisory actions. But, as I have discussed, not all of the responsibility lies with the government; households, the financial services industry, and those in the nonprofit sector must play their part as well." So "get to work, Mr. Household: Benny and the Inkjets, not to mention Chuck Schumer's careers rest on your bubble-reflation skills."

 

The Hopium Is Now Depleted

Hope - it appears - peaked at the start of the year in the US, following the global coordinated central bank pump which ramped it from lows to highs within a few months. All that hope - and then some - has now apparently faded. The General Business Conditions expected six months forward dropped to its lowest level since March 2009. What is perhaps worse, given the focus on jobs jobs jobs, is that for the first time since April 2009, the employment outlook for employment turned negative - suggesting firms are looking to reduce employees at the fastest rate in over three-and-a-half years. The hopium seems to have been depleted...

 

Initial Claims Soar To 439K, Non-Seasonally Adjusted Surge By Whopping 104,548 In One Week

Get ready for the "it's all Sandy's fault" barrage, because the post-reelection status quo sure will desperately need it today. The latest initial claims data posted a multi-year high 104,548 surge in weekly NSA claims from 361,800 to 466,348, and even the Seasonally adjusted number soaring from 361K to 439K on expectations of a 375K print. In other words, a complete disaster for any economic data bulls. What is truly amusing is that the same Wall Street "experts" who set expectations were unable to foresee the Sandy effect that every "macrotourist" on Twitter apparently is so very aware of. Also, it is apparently also "Sandy's fault" (now that the Bush excuse is back in retirement) that the prior week's claims were revised from 355K to 361K. Basically, just as we said 3 weeks ago, ignore every negative data point: it is Sandy's fault. However, for the snapback, when there actually is good news to be had, well, "four more years." Finally, to all the Sandy apologists: is the logic here that: if Hurricane, then Fire everyone? Because that is what is implied. To summarize: a hurricane is good for GDP (lots of broken windows), but any actually negative news (surge in firings) is perfectly expected.

11-14-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   THE MARKET SELL-OFF INTENSIFIES 11-14-12 U.S. stocks rallied early on Ciscos (CSCO) slightly better than expected report. The stock was initially up 8% while half of those gains were lost by the end of the trading day. Reality returned proving any early rally merely provides another exit. Some bulls like to point out when Obama was elected in 2008 stocks dropped 5% so the reelection should be nothing to worry about it. They neglected to mention stocks kept dropping for the next 5 months. After the news conference Wednesday investors saw little in Obamas comments to assuage their fiscal cliff concerns, so selling intensified. This press conference followed on the heels of Geithners comments Tuesday that everything will be fine once we raise taxes.Markets reacted strongly to Israeli attacks on Gaza which killed a Hamas leader amping-up the regions violence. Further, Egypt has made threats to Israel, including recalling its ambassador, over the Gaza attacks. This naturally caused an immediate spike in crude oil (USO) which given energys high weighting also rallied commodities (DBC) overall. The dollar (UUP) was flat while gold (GLD) rallied modestly. Also in currency markets the yen (FXY), (YCS) fell as the BOJ and government entered massive stimulus. The Chinese yuan (CYB) also established new highs on no particular news. The yuan has been rallying modestly almost every day the past couple of months and now is at an all time high. Some of this may be due to repatriation on concerns regarding the economic stability within the U.S. and eurozone. Bonds (TLT) and (IEF) were basically flat but the high yield sector (HYG) continues to trade more with stocks and fell.Overseas eurozone shares were weaker as Industrial Production in the region declined the most in 3 years, down 2.5%. The UKs Bank of England lowered future GDP growth due to the ongoing financial crisisand, here I thought this was over. The yen weakened as Japan boosted its stimulus package. In China the 18th Party Congress ended with few surprises. The China Construction Bank offered some happy talk stating it was confident it could contain problem loans.Retail Sales were weaker (-.3% vs -.1% expected & prior 1.1%) and ex-autos/gas (-.3% vs -.1% expected & prior .6%) so take your choice. Below is a chart demonstrated how Consumer Confidence and Retail Sales are coming together.

http://albertpeia.com/daves111412chart.gif

The PPI (-.2% vs expected -.1% expected & prior -.2%) and the silly core PPI (.-.2%% vs .2% expected & prior .0%) again take your choice. Within the data food prices (not that you eat) were higher by .4%. Business Inventories were higher (.7% vs .6% expected & prior .6%) so dependent on your view, not much to read into this report. Lastly Fed Minutes released this afternoon suggested an extension of QE to infinity.Stock market sectors leading the way lower included, well, just about everything.

THE Biggest Story in Finance That No One Is Talking About

November 14, 2012  http://gainspainscapital.com


http://albertpeia.com/derivativesdebtdefaultovervaluedsecurities.htm 

Modern financial theory dictates that sovereign bonds are the most risk free assets in the financial system (equity, municipal bond, corporate bonds, and the like are all below sovereign bonds in terms of risk profile). The reason for this is because it is far more likely for a company to go belly up than a country.

Because of this, the entire Western financial system has sovereign bonds (US Treasuries, German Bunds, Japanese sovereign bonds, etc) as the senior most asset pledged as collateral for hundreds of trillions of Dollars worth of trades.

The hundreds of trillions of Dollars of trades stems from a 2004 SEC ruling in which the SEC ruled that broker-dealers with capital bases above $5 billion (think Goldman, JP Morgan, etc) could increase their leverage above previously required levels while also abandoning market to market valuation methods (a methodology through which a security was priced at the value that a market participant would pay for it).

So, after the 2004 ruling, large broker dealers were permitted to increase their leverage levels dramatically. And because they could value their trades at whatever price their in-house models chose (what are the odds that these models were conservative?), the broker-dealers and large Wall Street banks are now sitting on over $700 trillion worth of derivatives trades.

Now, every large bank/ broker dealer knows that the other banks/dealers are overstating the value of their securities. As a result, these derivatives trades, like all financial instruments, require collateral to be pledged to insure that if the trades blow up, the other party has access to some asset to compensate it for the loss.

As a result, the ultimate backstop for the $700+ trillion derivatives market today is sovereign bonds.      In the US, we know that the top four banks have over $222 trillion in derivatives exposure with just $7 trillion in total assets. So the leverage here is roughly 31 to 1.

Using this as a ballpark estimate for derivatives leverage, it is very possible that Spain and Italys sovereign bonds are pledged as collateral for well over $100 trillion worth of derivatives trades ($1.78 trillion X 31 + $1.87 trillion X 31).

This is why Spain is dragging its feet about asking for a bailout: the mess of trying to sort out the collateral issues for 1.78 trillion in collateral that is backstopping what is likely tens of TRILLIONS of Euros worth of trades is capable of causing systemic failure.



Big Miss In Retail Sales Paints Grim Picture For Holiday Shopping

Here we go with the "but, but, Sandy" excuses. The just announced October retail sales tumbled, with their worst miss of expectations since May 2010, and the first sequential decline since June: printing at -0.3% for both the headline and the 'ex autos and gas', on expectations of a -0.2% and +0.4% rise. Ignoring for a second that the Commerce Department said that Hurricane Sandy had both positive (remember those massive lines in various stores ahead of Sandy) and negative impacts on retail sales, it would be truly inconceivable for the sellside Wall Street consensus of diploma'ed PhDs, which knew about Sandy's impact on retail sales well in advance, and thus could adjust its numbers, to actually, you know, adjust its numbers. Either way there is no way to spin the longer term major store sales trend (last chart), which shows that the US consumer, out of money, out of credit, and out of savings is entering the holiday season with little to zero disposable spending power.

 

As Good As It Gets

While the impact of the Fiscal Cliff remains front-and-center in everyone's mind, SocGen's Albert Edwards has another, more prescient, insight into why stocks are reverting. In his words, "commentators are worrying about an impending fiscal cliff, we have actually already stepped off the profits cliff." As we noted last week, the divergence between markets and macro suggest a rather ghastly echo of 2008; as the market is falling in line with the dismal outlook for profits (rather than the more upbeat macro economic data). As far as the latter, we are getting close to a cyclical peak - so macro surprises are 'as good as it gets' - and for the former (earnings outlooks), Edwards shows an unprecedented level of optimism about EPS going forward. As we proceed into the new year, Edwards expects "the combination of poor profits and poor economic data to prove toxic."

 

House Republicans Find Corzine Guilty Of MF Global Collapse, Missing Funds; Democrats Refuse To Endorse Findings

It appears that these days not even the Corzining of client money can happen without it being split across furiously polarized party lines. As it turns out hours ago, the Committee on House Financial Services released an advance glimpse into a report to be released in its entirety tomorrow, which puts the blame for the collapse of not only MF Global, but also the disappearance of millions in client money, right where it belongs: the firm's then CEO Jon Corzine. Yet that Corzine corzined millions, leaving clients scrambling in bankruptcy court in an attempt to recover what should have been segregated money from the very beginning, and also just happened to blow up one of the 21 Fed-anointed Primary Dealers, is not surprising: this has been long known by everyone. Those who need a refresher are urged to recall the Honorable's testimony before the House... or maybe not: after all it is not as if Corzine himself could recall a whole lot. Where it gets interesting is that the former Democratic governor, and senator, not to mention primary bundler for president Obama, is, in the eyes of the members of the committee, innocent: All the democrats on the Investigations Subcommittee refused to sign off on the findings, meaning that to them, Corzine is completely innocent. That this is purely a political move is glaringly obvious. It is also abhorrent, because as long as political ideology gets in the way of pursuing and imposing justice, the Banana States of America will remain just that.

 

Adding Insult To Rocket Attacks, Bank of Israel Now Underwater On Its Apple Position

It was all going so well, first name terms with Obama and AAPL up 30% from where you bought it... a mere two months later and the Bank of Israel is now underwater on their AAPL shares and about to print bullets. We noted in early March what a ridiculous ponzi this was all becoming when the Bank of Israel announced its purchase of US equity positions including AAPL. In retrospect it is so gratifying to gloat at the self-confirming bias that enabled their reserve managers to buy on the way up as the stock that can do no wrong lifted all boats. Actually, it is easy to gloat in any 'spect'. We can only assume that Bernanke's Bat-phone is ringing off the hook this afternoon to 'get back to work' and come to the aid of his Bank of Israel mentor.

11-13-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  STOCKS FADE INTO THE CLOSE AGAIN 11-13-12  Markets rallied early then faded quickly into the close led by Microsoft (MSFT) and Intel (INTC). Since both are/were big hedge fund positions, one might imagine the big money is heading to the exits on the heels of Apple (AAPL) another previously large hedge fund holding. There wasnt any economic data Tuesday from the U.S. In overseas market China enacted property taxes for the first time in Shanghai and Chongiq. Somewhat related in Hong Kong, seemingly always in a property bubble, a condo sold for over $8K per square footseriously. Pundits in China are now worried about falling retail sales. In the eurozone, Greece (no surprise) has been given a 2 year extension to implement austerity reforms and an agreement for interim funding has been put off until November 20th.  At the same time the Greek government is running out of money and needs $32 billion by Monday I believe. However, the troika has not figured out how to fund this yet. The Greeks are wearing us all out. Beyond this, German Investor Confidence fell to -15.7 vs -11.5 which is hardly encouraging and perhaps the Germans are getting worn out by their southern neighbors.The dollar (UUP) and gold (GLD) were basically flat on the day. Stocks were led higher by a positive report by Home Depot (HD) which some assumed translated to a strong or recovering housing market. Id say that is misleading. As I look about New England what I see are people remodeling existing homes they are unable to sell not to mention demand from destruction from Sandy. Commodities (DBC) were also mostly flat.

US Budget Deficit Soars In October As Government Spends Over $300 Billion In One Month

Moments ago the MTS released the final October budget report. It was not pretty, although those who read our report on how much debt was added - $195 billion to be precise - in the first month of the 2013 Fiscal Year will know where this is going. The US budget deficit was expected to soar after the September surplus of $75 billion, driven entirely by calendar shifts and pre-election propaganda, to -$113 billion. That was optimistic: the total amount of overspending in October was $120 billion. What is distressing is that this was well above the $98.5 billion deficit from a year ago, and confirms that the long-term trendline of ever greater spending continues. This was also the fourth largest October deficit in history. And looking merely at the spending side of the ledger, the US government's outlays in October alone were $304 billion. This is the third biggest October monthly spend for the government ever, and just why of the all time high $320.4 billion record in October 2008, when everything imploded after Lehman failure and Hank Paulson was literally dousing the monetary flames with brand new Benjamins.

Farce #5: High-level financial crimes, no matter how egregious or widespread, are not being prosecuted.

Q2 Total Gross Notional Derivatives Outstanding: $639 Trillion

Earlier today, the BIS, which has been doing everything in its power today to defend the 1.27 support in the EURUSD since the market open this morning, released its H1 OTC derivatives presentation update. There was little of material note: total OTC derivatives were virtually unchanged at $639 trillion gross, representing $25 trillion in net outstanding (market value), and $3.7 trillion in gross credit exposure. Here the PhD theorists will say gross is irrelevant because Finance 101 said so, while the market practitioners will point to Lehman, counterparty risk, and less than infinite collateral to fund sudden implosions of weakest links in counterparty chains, and say that it is gross (which until a recent revision of BIS data had been documented at over $1 quadrillion) that mattered, gross which matters, and gross which will always matter until finally everything inevitably collapses in a house of missing deliverable cards. Because not even the most generous sovereigns and central banks can halt the Tsunami once there is a failure of a major OTC Interest Rate swap counterparty. And whereas Basel III had some hopes it would be able to bring down the total notional in derivative notionals slowly over the next few years with a gradual deleveraging across all financial firms, the bankers fought, and the bankers won, because the last thing the current batch of TBTFs can afford it admit there is any hope they can ever slim down. The will... but never voluntarily.

I see a leading democrat, Senator Patty Murray (Washington) stated it would be okay to go over the cliff then return later to work something else out. Some say the most likely compromise would be an extension of everything but that would just leave things hanging out there. Obama believes he has a mandate rightly or wrongly and if thats the case he would use it right away rather than wait. In the meantime those wanting a higher millionaires tax (Buffett et al) havent flooded pay.gov yet with their voluntary contributions.The U.S. experienced one of those semi-holidays, Veterans Day, with most markets open while bond markets were closed.

China reported a 19% decline in credit which shows whats happening to consumers there. India noted a decline of .4% in industrial production vs +2.8% expected. Meanwhile inflation rose to 9.75%--they dont do core rates as done in the U.S.silly them!Meanwhile in the eurozone no deal has been reached for Greece despite vote and Spanish bonds sunk in price but U.S. stocks shrugged off all this bad news as the machines were fully engaged.The dollar (UUP) rallied slightly while gold (GLD) fell slightly.

Election Fraud? Obama Won More Than 99 Percent Of The Vote In More Than 100 Ohio Precincts

http://endoftheamericandream.com

 

http://albertpeia.com/wobamaelectionfraud.htm

Barack Obama received more than 99% of the vote in more than 100 precincts in Cuyahoga County, Ohio on election day.  In fact, there were a substantial number of precincts where Mitt Romney got exactly zero votes.  So how in the world did this happen?  Third world dictators don't even get 99% of the vote.  Overall, Mitt Romney received 30.12% of the vote in Cuyahoga County.  There were even a bunch of precincts in Cuyahoga County that Romney actually won.  But everyone certainly expected that Cuyahoga County would be Obama territory.  And in most of the precincts that is exactly what we saw - large numbers of votes for both candidates but a definite edge for Obama.  However, there are more than 100 precincts in Cuyahoga County where the voting results can only be described as truly bizarre.  Yes, we always knew that urban areas would lean very heavily toward Obama, but are we actually expected to believe that Obama got over 99% of the votes in those areas?  In more than 50 different precincts, Romney received 2 votes or less.  Considering how important the swing state of Ohio was to the national election, one would think that such improbable results would get the attention of somebody out there.  Could we be looking at evidence of election fraud hidden in plain sight? (Yes!)

Perhaps if there were just one or two precincts where Obama got more than 99% of the vote we could dismiss the results as "statistical anomalies" and ignore them.

But there were more than 100 precincts where this happened in the most important swing state in the nation…’

 

The Market Just Realized Two BIG Problems

November 11, 2012 http://gainspainscapital.com

 

http://albertpeia.com/2bigproblems.htm

The US Presidential election ended November 6, 2012. Since that time, the market has fallen 3%. There are a multitude of reasons for this, but the primary one is the fact that the markets is beginning to realize two key items:

1)   Everything that was a problem in the run up to the US election is still a problem (in fact many issues are now worse than they were a few months ago).

2)   Having engaged in pre-emptive and extreme actions to keep things calm in the run up to the election, the US Fed and ECB have run out of effective monetary bullets…’

 

Samsung Hikes Apple Component Price By 20%

Two months ago, when we commented on Apple's pyrrhic courtroom victory in which it managed to halt sales of older generation Samsung smartphones - a "victory" which would backfire with Samsung phone sales soaring, while AAPL results missed, forcing the company to accelerate its product launch cadence to a ridiculous 3 months with news that the iPhone 5s is already in the works a month after the launch of the iphone 5 -  we said "The paradox here is that AAPL's victory is quite pyrrhic: if and when Samsung feels sufficiently threatened, it can just pull a Gazprom and halt the supply of mission critical components to the world's biggest publicly traded company." Naturally, the hyperbolic all out response would mean an immediate nuclear war of attrition between the two electronics giants. Instead Samsung would be even better served to show Apple who is boss in quantized increments. Today, it has done just that, forcing Apple to swallow a 20% price increase on hundreds of millions of Samsung application processors used in iPads and iPhones. "Apple first disapproved it, but finding no replacement supplier, it accepted the (increase.)" Game, set, match Samsung.

 

The Devil You Know

Many Americans voted for the lesser of two evils and were disappointed in the result.  This must have been an emotional double whammy in the sense that not only did the guy you disliked so much that you were willing to vote for a candidate you didnt like win, but you didnt vote your conscience. What allowed Mike Krieger to do this was the complete and total recognition that under both major candidates America loses. His major issues are:

The Federal Reserve scam and Wall Street theft.

Civil liberties and the destruction of the Constitution.

Our aggressive foreign policy and imperial wars abroad that help only the oligarchs and impoverish the masses.

The country has cancer, not a common cold, and our response therefore must be much more serious than either of these corporate candidates are willing to commit to. Unfortunately, it will get ten times worse in the coming years, and we strongly believe that 2013-2016 will be a historic period in the political transformation of the United States.  The show is over.  Its time to buckle up.

 

 

The Five Stages Of A Sovereign's Life-Cycle

Bridgewater's Ray Dalio believes four factors drive relative economic growth: competitiveness, indebtedness, culture, and luck. The returns from his machine-like investment process clearly indicate he is on to something as he notes that the most powerful influences of this relative income (and power) are 1) the psychology that drives peoples desires to work, borrow and consume and 2) war (which we measure in the luck gauge). Throughout history, Dalio advises these two influences have changed countries competitiveness and indebtedness which have caused changes in their relative wealth and power. He goes on to add that since different experiences lead to different psychological biases that lead to different experiences, etc., certain common cause-effect linkages drive the typical cycle of a nation's growth, power and influence - and that countries typically evolve through five stages of that cycle.

Guest Post: America Isn't The Greatest Country Anymore

It may seem blasphemous on such an important day of remembrance to suggest that what is being protected is somehow not as worthwhile as it once was but as Street Talk Live's Lance Roberts shows America is no longer the greatest country in the world - based on numerous statistics... 7th in literacy, 27th in math, 12th in prosperity...You get the idea.  The rise of economic strength was built on the backs of hard working Americans who built stuff from skyscrapers to railroads.  We farmed, we produced and we raised families.   The pride of "built in America" was the flag that we waved. America has become a debtor nation and the cancer of debt has eroded our economic prosperity  Newsroom's Will McAvoy is right: "The first step in solving any problem is recognizing that there is one."

EPITAPH FOR AMERICA: Nothing quite succeeds like failure in america. I had tried to help underdog (and outsider and former missionary and hard worker and straight shooter) Mitt Romney by coming out early and unequivocally in support of him and change in the disastrous direction of america, unequivocally in decline. Importantly, that also gave me 'license' to say what needed saying but what everyone considers politically incorrect, impolitic, or brutally honest and/but are afraid to say. The key(s) to the election debacle here were the threat of riots and violence by the typical uncivilized niggers. After all, americans generally are without doubt an inherently cowardly people and war-mongering bullies as indicated by past and recent history. I saw this first hand by particularly that screaming old lady lying on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, purse stolen by the nigger who calmly walked away as whites among others walked, passed her by in fear (see immediately infra). Truth be told, I bit my tongue and cringed at every Romney link to corrupt, venal war criminals/criminals/mobsters bushes, cheney, trump, kean, (republicans alito, et als) etc., who have substantially damaged me (along with referenced democrats, to be fair). Then there's that contra-indicated love-fest with war mongering/war crimes nation, illegal nuke totin' israel (almost more than I could bear). On the positive side, trusting in GOD only as I do, I must confess I was happy to see the destruction of the jersey shore and appropriately, rockaway beach, queens, new york (jersey mob and gambino crime family connection). A lesson to all, Romney particularly, never trust a half-breed sicilian former federal government slug; that rotund humpty dumpty christie of jersey infamy. Amazingly, the very people who've been and will prospectively be damaged by nothing more than a mentally troubled fraud, grifter, jive-talking b***s***/con artist obama, gave him the blind support he needed to prevail regardless of his unequivocally failed four years of prior broken campaign promises, reality, and rationality. Self-destructive, mentally challenged/troubled losers? That fits! That america is a hopelessly failed, bankrupt nation in decline, there is no question!

MSNBC Yet Again Implies Criticism of Obama Is Racist Paul Joseph Watson | General Electric-owned (49%) network is earning its federal bailout money. [Yet, it's holder / wobama who're the racists ... Robinson: King's dream remains unrealized (Washington Post) [ Yeah! That 'content of their character' thing's a b***ch to live up to ... just don't measure up!

'They were just going after white people'... Heightened security...

[ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims)' ... while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a 'park' - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA's position with both felonies ( he went to prison - pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of 'bystander effect' / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 blacks and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA. But, to be fair and balanced, the RICO litigation involves those uncivilized who consider themselves 'whites' http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf (predominantly but not exclusively jews / romans-italians / mobsters / government slugs). http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm     http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm ]

 

 

 

11-9-12 Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   ‘COMPROMISE SEEMS FUTILE AS CLIFF NEARS 11-9-12  ‘Boehner stepped forward Thursday with a softer tone on compromise with the administration. Then the president invited all to meeting next week to discuss the fiscal cliff and to seek some compromise. But just a short time ago the WH stated the president will veto any bill that extends existing tax cuts for the wealthy. This is reminiscent of the Simpson-Bowles Commission aftermath when the much awaited report was tossed into the trash can with a “thanks for coming” dismissal.Now we just have learned CIA Director David Patraeus has resigned over an exta-marital affair. Just after the election—how convenient. He was probably outed by CIA insiders. Things just get curiouser and curiouser.I would put forward this now, why don’t we just go over the cliff, get it over with and let things get sorted out from the wreckage? It would be tough certainly but we should’ve gone over the cliff by letting the banks fail in 2008-2009 putting it behind us. Stocks being short-term oversold attempted a rally but there wasn’t much follow-through or conviction behind it. This is due to the lack of any sense of compromise over the fiscal cliff.Economic data featured the over-rated U. of Michigan Consumer Sentiment report (84.9 vs 81.5 expected). The index is based heavily on stock market prices which carried over from October and I prefer the Conference Board’s data as it isn’t so skewed by markets.The dollar (UUP) continues to be strong while uniquely gold (GLD) also rises as investors scramble for safe havens. Bonds (TLT) also reversed course from earlier losses as prices rose. Commodities were mildly positive mostly on the strength of energy. As to this, oil (USO) was pressured higher by an admitted Iranian strike on a U.S. drone of which we seem to have so many. Tech (XLK) bounced as Apple (AAPL) shares were able to catch a bid. Semiconductors (SOXX) were also stronger but homebuilders (ITB) were weak.Volume remains elevated still and breadth per the WSJ was rather flat…’, Drop echoes 1987 crash prelude The charts, timing and news cycle bear more than a passing similarity to the period before October 1987, writes Jon D. Markman. ‘The Dow Jones Industrials have fallen 450 points over the past two days, and a lot of the blame has been placed on the re-election of the president. But anyone paying attention to the market over the past three months recognizes that the peak was actually made the week that the Federal Reserve announced a third round of quantitative easing. That was expected to be a positive event, but in retrospect, it ushered in a rolling thunder of value-eroding news events…’  ,  Dow Theory now on a sell signal?  Did the Dow Theory generate an official sell signal earlier this month?

Are Markets And Macro Repeating 2008?

In mid 2008, when macro data surprises were very weak, equity markets continued to push inexorably higher; happily ignorant of reality as The Fed has your back, 'bad is good', and the impossible was still impossible. This rally front-ran the economic surprise data - as economists had (in their ubiquitously extrapolant manner) over-cooked the downside and a reflexive bounce and rate cuts swung us into the green economically and market-wise. That surge in macro surprise data proved fleeting and we crashed a few short months after. Four years later and once again we are told that 'bad is good', every central bank is just dying to add more liquidity fuel to the fire, and macro data is 'surprising' to the upside. However, instead of following the 2009, 2010, and 2011 patterns, we are mimicking that 2008 pattern as 3-month S&P return turns red while ECO data is still rising. We suspect the hope-driven 'magic' in that ECO data will rapidly fall to the bottom-up-biased earnings data we discussed earlier and while 'expecting' a 30% plunge in stocks is a little much - we've seen this kind of hopeful optimism dashed before on the rocks of reality.

 

 

Guest Post: Trade Deficit - Increase In Exports To Be Short Lived

The U.S. trade balance in September improved, largely on petroleum, with a rebound in exports.  This was good news for a single economic data point and it sent mainstream economists to mistakenly begin boosting third quarter GDP estimates to 2.9% from the 1st estimate of 2.0% that we saw last month. The important point is that the trend of exports, and imports, has been negative as the recession in Europe, and slowdown in China, have reduced end demand. There are a numer of reasons that the recent positive boosts to the trade deficit data are more likely temporary in nature and will be revised away in the months ahead.  "Regardless of when the NBER officially announces the start date of the next recession - the damage will have already been done to investors."

11-8-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   NEGATIVE REACTION TO HIGHER TAXES 11-8-12 Its pretty simple, raise taxes and before they take effect investors, especially insiders, will lock up what gains they might have and book them. Current low levels of capital gains and dividend tax rates are under assault. I guarantee you as lawmakers see these market declines increase a softer tone may begin to appear. If not then theyre committing investment suicide. Currently Harry Reid indicated that the country has given a mandate to Obama to raise taxes. At the same time John Boehner has stated vaguely that some common ground could be found by eliminating some loopholes. Either way, taxes would rise.As this story noted Bernanke & Co might take QE3 to $1 trillion if the fiscal cliff is unsettled.Stock investors are selling first and asking questions later. Permabulls, especially those with fees at stake, are spinning for investors to buy. Were nearly 70% in cash in our lead portfolio and long some income sectors.We will stay this way until the dust clears and more certainty builds.It didnt help that equity leaders like Apple (AAPL) continue to free fall and even trusty McDonalds (MCD) posted its first sales decline in nearly a decade.The politics of the moment are murky and the only voice of reason from my perspective came from Ron Paul Thursday. He was defeated early by the plutocracy of left and right but his words today make the best sense: "People do not want anything cut," he said. "They want all the bailouts to come. They want the Fed to keep printing the money. And they don't believe that we've gone off the cliff or are close to going off the cliff. They think we can patch it over, that we can somehow come up with some magic solution. But you can't have a budgetary solution if you don't change what the role of government should be. As long as you think we have to police the world and run this welfare state, all we are going to argue about is who will get the loot."Paul was defeated perhaps because he didnt come across as telegenic or cool but more significantly because he would have screwed the vested interests (plutocracy) on both the left and right.Greeks voted last night to accept the austerity agreed upon with the troika.

The Eight Scariest Charts For Equity Bulls

It would appear Mark Twain's infamous quote that "history does not repeat, but it does rhyme" has never been so apt. The following eight charts suggest the rhythm is getting louder and louder. How is it possible? It's nonsense? Well at the heart of the markets, it is still us humans and our endearing greed, fear, and heuristic biases that drive the flows... trade accordingly. Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But since no one was listening, everything must be said again. André Gide

 

 

Ron Paul: "Pure Democracy Is Dangerous"... When It's Purchased

From an outright libertarian, the headline seems contrary; but Ron Paul's affirmation that "pure democracy is dangerous" critically confirms what Romney accidentally admitted: that enabling the majority to dictate the minority is a problem when the majority are receiving a [government] check. Bloomberg TV's Betty Liu looks a little shocked when the thoughtful Paul confirms bluntly that the reelection of Obama is driven simply by 'the people' being on the 'receiving end' of government benefits and that the US is "so far gone; we're over the cliff already." From the lack of credibility in Washington to GOP's 'acceptance' of higher taxes and why he quit Congress, Ron Paul succinctly reminds many of the true state of the union in which we live... "As long as you think we have to please the world and run this welfare state, all we will argue about is who will get the loot."

 

 

First Ohio; Next 'The Moon'? While markets are digesting the probabilities of a dramatic rise in taxes and cut in spending as we approach the fiscal cliff, it appears that behind-the-scenes there has been a secret plan that we can only imagine is designed to rocket-boost us over the cliff - new manned missions to the moon. As Space.com reports, NASA is serious about sending astronauts back to the moon's neighborhood and will likely unveil its ambitious plans soon now that President Barack Obama has been re-elected, experts say. They go on to comment that "The space agency has apparently been thinking about setting up a manned outpost beyond the moon's far side, both to establish a human presence in deep space and to build momentum toward a planned visit to an asteroid in 2025. The new plans have probably already been cleared with the Obama Administration but have been kept under wraps in case Republican candidate Mitt Romney won Tuesday night's (Nov. 6) presidential election." While the claims are that this will not increase the budget, we suspect out-of-this-world manned outposts cost a little more than the $17.7bn budgeted for NASA in 2013... someone is clearly eating space-cakes. Ironic really given our earlier post...  { Riiiiight! Sounds like a plan! After all, the new mooney gold and mooney diamond mines on the mooney moon will pay for themselves and the mission The reality though is a new boondoggle to fleece the treasury/taxpayers

In any event, Russia’s been doing quite a bit of ‘heavy lifting’ vis-ŕ-vis the space station, but not inordinately so. All I can say with certainty is that the universe beyond this solar system is forever protected / insulated. The fact is, they never set foot on the moon; and, in light of the pervasive corruption in and defacto bankruptcy of the nation, their perpetual wars toward making a hell on earth militate against anything but trying to do even just a little bit better (for a start), terrestrially.   NASA wants mission to bring Martian rocks to Earth (AP) Why?

Barack Obama: The Naked Emperor Shocking but true revelations from David Icke (a must read) | Vast numbers of people across the world, including many who should know better, have been duped by the mind-game called Operation Obama... (excerpts) Obama has been the chosen one for a long time, a fact known only to a few in the deep inner circle, and his relationship with Brzezinski almost certainly goes back to the start of the 1980s when he attended the Ivy League, and big-time Illuminati, Columbia University where Brzezinski was head of the Institute for Communist Affairs. Obama simply will not talk in any detail about this period. He has been covertly funded and supported ever since by the Trilateral Commission and its network of foundations connecting into the Ford Foundation, for whom Obama's mother worked. And a question: Does anyone really believe that someone, a 'man of the people', would simply appear from apparently nowhere to run the slickest and best-funded presidential campaign in American history? He was chosen long ago by those who wish to enslave the very people that Obama says he wants to 'set free'. The sources of Obama funding read like a Wall Street Who's Who - Goldman Sachs, UBS, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, J.P. Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and so on. No wonder he went back on his pledge to accept the limitations of public funding for his campaign and instead took the no-limit option of 'private fundingThen there is the Jewish financier, George Soros, the multi-billionaire associate of Brzezinski and closely involved with the funding and marketing of Obama. Soros is a former board member of the Illuminati's Council on Foreign Relations and funds the European Council on Foreign Relations. In short, he is a major insider' You can certainly see the Soros/Brzezinski techniques in the Obama 'revolution' in the United States. It was the complex and secretive network of Soros foundations and organisations, connected to the intelligence agencies of the US and Israel, that trained and funded students in the Ukraine, Georgia and elsewhere in the art of mass protest and overthrowing governments. These manufactured protests were sold to the world as peoples' revolutions, but it just so happened that when they were over and the old regime was removed the new leaders were those waiting in the wings all along - the puppets of Soros, Brzezinski and their associated networks. Obama is just more of the same, a big smile with strings attached, and controlled completely by the Illuminati networks that chose him, trained him, sold him and provided his record funding. It was they who kept his many skeletons under wraps, like the gay sex and crack cocaine allegations of Larry Sinclair (from affidavit: 1. Who is Ron Allen that claims to be with your Presidential camp, who is alleged to claim that someone claiming to represent me called asking for $100,000, to keep me from coming forward about our (Obama and I) November 1999 encounter of sex and cocaine use?), and they will continue to do so as long as he jumps to their bidding. Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself for fame and power, and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. His financial advisors are straight from the Wall Street 'A' list, including Paul Adolph Volker (Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group), the head of the Federal Reserve from 1979 to 1987 and Illuminati to his fingertips. Obama has made him head of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which is dominated by insiders, including its staff director and chief economist, Austan Goolsbee, a close Obama associate from the University of Chicago. Goolsbee is an initiate of the infamous Illuminati Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, which also includes Boy and Father Bush. It was Goolsbee who told the Canadian government not to worry about Obama's attacks on the economic effects of free trade agreements because his words were just to win votes in the election campaign. Another Wall Street insider, the Zionist Timothy Geithner (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations), was appointed by Obama to be his Treasury Secretary. Geithner was the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the most powerful in the private Federal Reserve cartel that masquerades as America's central bank, and he is a former employee of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the appalling Kissinger Associates. Obama's Treasury team locks into the inner circle around the Zionist Robert Rubin, the Director and Senior Counselor of Citigroup, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and economic advisor to Obama. Rubin, a member of the Illuminati Bilderberg Group, was the man behind Citigroup's strategy of expanding its risk in debt markets which forced it to be rescued by taxpayers' money. The very people who caused the financial crisis are being appointed by Obama to decide how to respond to it (more taxpayers' money for them and their friends)

 

 

Thousands Of Shocking Threats Of Violence By Obama Supporters On The Eve Of The Election
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com
http://albertpeia.com/funlovinniggers.htm
{These dumb niggers/losers (that includes ‘the white folks’ et als self-destructively supporting unequivocally failed, jive-talking grifter, nigger obama) are nothing less than terrorists and should be treated accordingly; unless the so-called ‘war on terror’ was but a diversion from the incompetence and failure of this and prior administrations! }

 

11-7-12 EPITAPH FOR AMERICA: Nothing quite succeeds like failure in america. I had tried to help underdog (and outsider and former missionary and hard worker and straight shooter) Mitt Romney by coming out early and unequivocally in support of him and change in the disastrous direction of america, unequivocally in decline. Importantly, that also gave me 'license' to say what needed saying but what everyone considers politically incorrect, impolitic, or brutally honest and/but are afraid to say. The key(s) to the election debacle here were the threat of riots and violence by the typical uncivilized niggers. After all, americans generally are without doubt an inherently cowardly people and war-mongering bullies as indicated by past and recent history. I saw this first hand by particularly that screaming old lady lying on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, purse stolen by the nigger who calmly walked away as whites among others walked past her by in fear (see immediately infra). Truth be told, I bit my tongue and cringed at every Romney link to corrupt, venal war criminals/criminals/mobsters bushes, cheney, trump, kean, (republicans alito, et als) etc., who have substantially damaged me (along with referenced democrats, to be fair). Then there's that contra-indicated love-fest with war mongering/war crimes nation, illegal nuke totin' israel (almost more than I could bear). On the positive side, trusting in GOD only as I do, I must confess I was happy to see the destruction of the jersey shore and appropriately, rockaway beach, queens, new york (jersey mob and gambino crime family connection). A lesson to all, Romney particularly, never trust a half-breed sicilian former federal government slug, that rotund humpty dumpty christie of jersey infamy. Amazingly, the very people who've been and will be prospectively damaged by nothing more than a mentally troubled fraud, grifter, jive-talking b***s*** artist obama, gave him the blind support he needed to prevail regardless of his unequivocally failed four years of prior broken campaign promises, reality, and rationality. Self-destructive, mentally challenged/troubled losers? That fits! That america is a hopelessly failed, bankrupt nation in decline, there is no question!

MSNBC Yet Again Implies Criticism of Obama Is Racist Paul Joseph Watson | General Electric-owned (49%) network is earning its federal bailout money. [Yet, it's holder / wobama who're the racists ...

Drudgereport: 'Mob' beatings at WI state fair... 'Hundreds of young black people beating white people'... [ Typical ... ] Fairgoers 'pulled out of cars'... 'They were just going after white people'... Heightened security...

[ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims)' ... while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a 'park' - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA's position with both felonies ( he went to prison - pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of 'bystander effect' / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 blacks and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA. But, to be fair and balanced, the RICO litigation involves those uncivilized who consider themselves 'whites' http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf (predominantly but not exclusively jews / romans-italians / mobsters / government slugs). http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm     http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm ]

 

 

Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   ‘… I must say the election results werent a great surprise but the outcome did make me wonder about what country Im living in. After all, what president could run on this kind of record and win?…’{ Dont buy into the fraudulent wall street for Romney purported scenario as they cheered every contraindicated fiscal/political pro-obama move/misstep with a contraindicated pro-obama rally. Wall street, like obama, is just b***s*** and fraud! }  FISCAL CLIFF HISSY FIT 11-7-12 It could probably be argued reasonably that insiders who own large equity positions with large profits are hitting the sell button Wednesday to take advantage of current tax rates. The fiscal cliff will be much discussed over the next two months. A failure to reach a compromise will mean large tax increases on capital gains and dividends. So insiders sell and markets decline.There was a sense Tuesday that Obama would win so markets rallied on thoughts QE and ZIRP would remain in place. But that sentiment was misplaced by me since pundits subsequently suggested the rally was due to a Romney win. Well, what do I or anyone know really? Obama getting the vibe of a lower stock market from his advisors was on the phone with Boehner, Pelosi and Reid to get them focused on a fiscal cliff compromise. This is type of thing that can only be done once the votes are all in and his base satisfied. Thats a nice start but in the end there is still gridlock. I must say the election results werent a great surprise but the outcome did make me wonder about what country Im living in. After all, what president could run on this kind of record and win? Some said it was because people personally liked Obama more than Romney. Others suggested Obamas single appearance during post hurricane Sandy showed he cared about people. (Even MSNBCs harsh pundit Chris Matthews stated: Im so glad we had that storm. I dont think Bush couldve survived that one.) I believe Obama won due to changing demographics and a new found belief in big government even if thats misplaced {Yesso many people/obama supporters with a complete lack of self-respect/self-worth}. In Greece another extension is in the works as rioters take to the streets of Athens. Theyre running out of tear gas canisters so a delay would make some sense. Without embracing the austerity package Greece would run out of money Monday. One would assume eurozone powers that be would not wish to see a default and a Grexit. This gave rise to Mario Draghi stating: The debt crisis is starting to hurt Germanyand German rates are lower than they would otherwise be meaning the euro should be lower. As this was announced German Industrial Output fell -1.8% vs .7% expected.So after stocks rallied Tuesday on light volume the opposite occurred Wednesday with a vengeance posting one of the largest declines in a year. Almost all sectors were hurt Wednesday led by a reversal in coal (KOL) and defense (PPA). Banks (KBE) were thought to be weak with the Obama victory while homebuilders (ITB) outperformed. Further Apple (AAPL) shares broke down into bear market territory (20% decline from recent highs) but managed a slight recovery. Given the companys heavy weighting in indexes its condition is always impressive. Earnings today were reported but they took a back seat to the fiscal cliff and Greece.The dollar (UUP) was slightly stronger along with the yen (FXE) on a flight to safety. Gold (GLD) was slightly higher as well. Bonds (IEF) & (TLT) also rallied sharply as stocks plunged. Commodities (DBC) and oil (USO) especially were also weak. All in all it was a risk off day as Mr. Market will pressure politicians in DC to get a deal done.Volume was very heavy as stops were hit and no doubt some margin calls will be forthcoming.

Marc Faber's Asset Protection Plan: "Buy A Machine Gun", No Really, "You're Right, Buy A Tank"

Trish Regan and Adam Johnson do their best to hold themselves together in this sublime rant by 'Gloom, Boom & Doom's Marc Faber on Bloomberg TV as he sees Obama's re-election as "very negative for the economy". From his view that the market should be down at least 20% - and maybe 50%, to the implied ignorance of both of the candidates, he believes fervently that the "standards of living of people in the western hemisphere will continue to decline." Faber views Obama's re-election as one of many unintended consequences of market manipulation (since Democrat attacks on the wealthy were 'enabled' by their profiteering from Bernanke's money printing) and sees the need to protect one's assets "with a gun, a machine gun... or perhaps a tank." He concludes with a stunner as he exclaims his view doubting Obama will make it through the whole four-year term because "there will be so many scandals" since "there is so much smoke, there must be some fire!"

 

 

Biderman On Obama As The Worst 'Fiscal' President Ever

The US government will be bankrupt after another four years of the same Obama we had for the past four. Fitch as much as confirmed this when it suggested a downgrade is coming. TrimTabs' Charles Biderman takes us succinctly through the painful math of just what has happened in the last four years: since Obama has been president after-tax take-home pay for everyone who pays taxes is still down by about 5% nominally and more than 10% after inflation. Dismissing GDP as anything but a misguided and misused spreadsheet output, the bombastic Biderman is concerned - and rightly so - as he sums up: "My guess is that Mr. Obama and his close buddies have no idea what they are doing, or else they would not be doing what they have been doing. The most dangerous are those people who think they are smarter than they are."

 

In September Uncle Sam Continued To Hand Out Car And Student Loans Like A Drunken Sailor

Following one of the highest monthly jumps in consumer credit in August, the September data showed that following the drop in household savings to a multi-year low, consumers naturally retrenched, and had no choice but to pay down debt. As the just released G.19 confirmed, in September, households once again reduced their credit card debt, which declined by $2.9 billion to $852 billion. This was the fourth such decline in six months, confirming that at the discretionary level where banks have supervision over borrowings, the consumer is still nowhere near willing to relever. Where, there was leverage, a lot of it, was once again in the government sector, which funded $13.8 billion of the total $14.6 billion rise in NSA credit, and where non-revolving credit: read loans for Government Motors, at least those that have not been record channel stuffed (as reported previously) and Federal Student Loans, which are now over $1 trillion, rose by $14.3 billion in one month. Of course, the difference between revolving and non-revolving credit is that while banks expect the former to be paid off eventually, Uncle Sam has no such illusions on any low APR debt it hands out to anyone who asks for it (and if the proceeds from student loans are used to purchase iPads, so be it).

 

Guest Post: No Undue Fallout From Money Printing

John Williams, president of the San Francisco Fed, yet another noted dove, thinks nothing can go wrong by printing gobs of money. There is no inflation, and there never will be. They have the 'tools' to avert it. Never mind the explosion of the money supply over the past four years it is all good. Have no fear though, as Williams notes: "Once it comes time to exit its super-easy monetary policy, the Fed will target a 'soft landing,'" The hubris of these guys is jaw-dropping. We are struck by the continued refusal by Fed officials to even think for a second about the long range effects of their policies. In the meantime, money printing continues to undermine the economy. Wealth cannot be generated by increasing the money supply all that can be achieved by this is an ephemeral improvement in the 'data' even while scarce capital continues to be malinvested and consumed.

 

Guest Post: The Case For A Constitutional Convention In 2016

The Status Quo won--no surprise there, as there was no other choice offered. The Imperial Presidency won, too, of course; anyone anywhere can still be assassinated by order of the Imperial President, regardless of their citizenship. Anyone can be labeled "an enemy of the State" and either liquidated (high fives all around!) or crushed by the Espionage Act (transparency is a crime), Patriot Act (dissent is also criminal), the NDAA, or maybe another Executive Order. The neofeudal Aristocracy also won, as vested interests were free to buy "free speech" in unlimited quantities. That means the bag of tricks to "save us from recession" is finally empty. The next recession will sink its teeth into the Savior State and all the protected fiefdoms and cartels with a vengeance built up by four years of "extend and pretend." The failure of "extend and pretend" and the Status Quo that sold it as the "fix" opens up the possibility that crisis will lead to real reform, the kind that requires a Constitutional Convention.

Goolsbee is an initiate of the infamous Illuminati Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, which also includes Boy and Father Bush. It was Goolsbee who told the Canadian government not to worry about Obama's attacks on the economic effects of free trade agreements because his words were just to win votes in the election campaign. Another Wall Street insider, the Zionist Timothy Geithner (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations), was appointed by Obama to be his Treasury Secretary. Geithner was the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the most powerful in the private Federal Reserve cartel that masquerades as America's central bank, and he is a former employee of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the appalling Kissinger Associates. Obama's Treasury team locks into the inner circle around the Zionist Robert Rubin, the Director and Senior Counselor of Citigroup, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and economic advisor to Obama. Rubin, a member of the Illuminati Bilderberg Group, was the man behind Citigroup's strategy of expanding its risk in debt markets which forced it to be rescued by taxpayers' money. The very people who caused the financial crisis are being appointed by Obama to decide how to respond to it (more taxpayers' money for them and their friends)

11-6-12  It Doesn't Matter

Its really hard to ignore whats happening today; the election phenomenon is global. The entire world seems fixated on this belief that it actually matters who becomes the President of the United States anymore... or that one of these two guys is going to fix things. Fact is, it doesnt matter. Not one bit. And well show you why mathematically... This is not a political problem, its a mathematical one. Facts are facts, no matter how uncomfortable they may be. Todays election is merely a choice of who is going to captain the sinking Titanic.

 

Election 2012: How The Winner Will Destroy America

Of all the hollow and uninspired elections that this country has suffered through over the past several decades, one might think that at some point long ago the American public would have finally struck a plateau of disenfranchisement; that we could sink no further into despondency, that there is a saturation limit to the corruption of our voting process.  Unfortunately, there has been no such luck.  We have to say that in all honesty we have never seen more people gut jumbled and disgusted with our electoral system than we have in 2012. In 2012, it will not be about voting.  It will not be about winning.  It will not even be about getting to the next election.  It will be about survival. We're sorry to say that the idea that one man will do less damage than the other is a naďve sentiment.  Democrat?  Republican?  Obama?  Romney?  The crimes and calamities wrought will be exactly the same.  Take a look into our crystal ball and see the future.  Here is how the winner will destroy America.

Vote Obama or Romney, but stocks still overpriced: Rosenberg  Marketwatch November 6, 2012

Election Day is an opportune time to check in with David Rosenberg, the plain-speaking chief economist and strategist at Canadian investment manager Gluskin Sheff + Associates. From his perch north of the U.S.  in Toronto, Rosenberg looks at the U.S. presidential election from the edge of the so-called fiscal cliff and the tough budgetary decisions that await the election winner.

What Rosenberg sees is a nation where stocks are 20% overpriced against a U.S. economy that faces, if not an outright recession, then a growth relapse that would trim GDP expansion to around 1% at best.

The economy is still in the throes of a multi-year credit contraction phase, Rosenberg told clients in a research note published Tuesday. What we can expect is for the pace of activity to weaken substantially during periods when [Federal Reserve] stimulus fades.

No matter who wins the presidential election, Rosenberg adds, Washington will tighten its belt in 2013 the only way to put the nations finances on a more stable footing.

Rosenbergs outlook clearly isnt the best backdrop for stocks: The market is not as cheap as the pundits, who rely on year-ahead EPS estimates, deem it to be, he wrote. When one incorporates cyclically adjusted corporate earnings in real terms, equities are still roughly 20% overvalued.

To correct this imbalance, stocks will trade down to a price-earnings multiple of around 12 with a 4% dividend yield on the Standard & Poors 500-stock index SPX +0.84% . That said, Rosenberg isnt herding investors into the lifeboats. Hes bullish on themes that reflect the frugal consumer, including discount retailers, home improvement and food and beverage staples. Rosenberg also taps non-cyclical sectors such as aerospace and health care. He favors income-producing stocks and bonds, and likes gold miners over bullion.

These conditions reflect a secular, sideways market that began in 2000 and historically runs 16 to 18 years, Rosenberg says. In such a market, he adds, investors have to be nimble: Rallies are to be rented, not owned.

When can investors expect to see a new bull market? Says Rosenberg: We likely have a long way to go.

Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  MR. MARKET SEES AN OBAMA WIN? 11-6-12 A potential Obama win is based on the idea QE3 and ZIRP will continue. Thats about all I can glean from reading comments posted on a variety of popular websites.Bulls like money printing and the added liquidity it provides for trading with HFTs. Stocks inflate in the shortterm and that is the intended effect desired by Bernanke & Co.

11-5-12 Job Creation Under Barack Obama: Less Than Meets The Eye!?

In the aftermath of yesterday's better than expected jobs number there have been many analyses in the media on both sides of the aisle, either attacking or defending Obama's track record in creating jobs. All have come up with arguments which according to their authors, are solid and defensible. There is one analysis, however, which is missing, and that is a follow up of what we showed yesterday in "Chart Of The Day: America's Geriatric Work F(a)rce."  In it we demonstrated the very much "under the radar" schism of America's workforce since the NBER-defined official end of the recession in June 2009 into the "haves", or those above 55, who have been able to get a job since the end of the recession, and the "have nots", or all those in the labor force who have not been able to find a job. So how does this data look when extended to the beginning of Obama's term, or the 46 full months starting with his inauguration in January 2009, and continuing through the latest, October 2012 data point. The chart is presented below; you decide.

 

 

Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  ELECTION TENSION 11-5-12 Im not going to post much of anything until Wednesday assuming there is a decisive (hopefully) outcome in the U.S. Whats the point? The conventional wisdom is markets may rally if Obama wins since QE and ZIRP will continue. A Romney win might mean less sugar for the vacuum tubes. A hung election is the worst outcome naturally. And so it goes.But while youre watching the returns just remember Greece is having its own election Wednesday. Why is this important? The country only has enough money for one week. Further, there has been no agreement on austerity with the troika allowing for more aid. The current Greek parliament has a majority of 5 is my understanding and of course austerity isnt popular in the streets of Athens. This may be part of the reason German 2-year notes are now at negative yields (-.014%) as investors flock to them on fear of a Grexit.Markets did little on the day eking-out small gains on light volume. This makes snarky comments and charts a useless effort.That said well look a few charts just for show…’

IceCap Asset Management: How To Lull A Banker To Sleep

When it comes to sleepless nights, Toimi Soini of Finland originally set the record by using the "toothpicks under the eyelids" method for 11 straight days. In hindsight, Toimi was an amateur. Toimi Soini was not a banker and this was his downfall. As for the Canadians, Swiss and British yes they are all bankers, but not just any bankers. This terrific trio have the displeasure of forever being known as the bankers who sold their gold. The irony of course, is the action of the Worlds central bankers themselves is the reason why gold is destined to remain golden for sometime to come. And with gold sitting near $1700/oz, and with no end to the money printing games, the sleepless nights are destined to continue. IceCap's Keith Dicker opines on the wrong-ness of Alan Greenspan's economic miracle, equity manager's misplaced rationalization of performance as skill, China's gold-buying spree, the Nobel Peace Prize debacle, and the inexorable growth of 'fake money'.

 

 

Guest Post: 'I' For Inevitable

Just over 400-years ago today, a group of 13 conspirators was caught trying to assassinate King James I of England and blow up the House of Lords in what became known as the Gunpowder Treason. If youve ever seen the movie V for Vendetta, you know the story. The plot of 1605 may have been a failure for the conspirators, but given enough time, a system so screwed up, so unsustainable, was destined to collapse on itself. Curiously, were not so different in the west today; just like the English monarchs, we have a tiny elite that controls absolutely everything about our economy taxation, regulation, and the supply of money. Needless to say, this is also unsustainable. And history shows that these types of unsustainable systems will always collapse under their own weight.

 

Volumeless Ramp Leaves Stocks Adrift In Election Bliss

UPDATE: Zillow is getting monkey-hammered -27% after-hours on outlook cut

With S&P 500 futures volume around 25% below average, it is little surprise that the little-algos-that-could did their damnedest to get up to Friday's closing VWAP. Equities were in a world of their own today relative to broad risk assets with high-yield credit lower, volatility up, and rates lower - seemingly supported by its correlation with oil (which managed to pop over 1% on the day to almost $86). Utilities were hurt the most as QE-sensitive Materials, Energy, and Tech managing to outperform as AAPL levitated from lower lows ($570) pre-open to bring today's price up to Friday's closing VWAP and that's where we wriggled most of the day, with every rally faded at that magical level. Whether investors were placing chips last minute into the election is unclear (Energy outperformance, Financials unch, and Utility underperformance possibly suggest Romney victory and split house?) but certainly conviction was low as evidenced by volume and pre-ramp ranges. Despite USD strength, Gold and Silver also outperformed on the day as Treasury yields dropped 2-4bps. The S&P ended the day at resistance half-way between Bernanke's Bottom and Draghi's Dream levels...

 

 

Tim Geithner: Next Steps

 

Tim Geithner's public "servant" tenure has not been without its blemishes: from his deplorable run as the (figure)head of the New York Fed (from 2003 until 2009), when the entire financial system literally imploded under his watch, to his epic failing up as Hank Paulson's replacement as treasury Secretary of the United States, despite his legendary inability to navigate the Minotaurian labyrinth that is the TurboTax income tax flowchart, the Dartmouth alum has had his share of run ins with adversity (and adversity won). Of course, Geithner's tenure in charge of the Treasury in the past 4 years has been somewhat mollified by the fact that here too here was merely a figurehead, and the true entity that runs the US printing presses is none other than the JPM and Goldman Sachs co-chaired Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee (for more on the TBAC read here and especially here as pertains to the former LTCM trader and current head of JPM's CIO group), meaning that the US Treasury, just like the Fed, are merely branches of the one true power in US governance: Wall Street. Geithnerian figureheadedness aside, the one undeniable fact is that Tim Geithner's days as head of the Treasury are now numbered: he has made it quite clear that he will not accompany Obama (should the incumbent be reelected) into his second term. So what is a career "public servant" to do once the public no longer has any interest in retaining his services? Bloomberg's Deborah Solomon has some suggestions...

 

 

A 21% Chance Of A 50% Plunge In The S&P 500?

Investors' perceptions of risks, both normal (volatility) and tail (event), have intriguingly run to both extremes at the same time. 'Normal' volatility has been so suppressed by Central-Bank action as to become an almost useless indicator (or at best contemporaneous) - or as Artemis Capital notes "volatility has become a shadow currency" with the USD (safe-haven) becoming considerably more correlated with volatility. Extreme volatility concerns are where the 'unintended' consequence has appeared. In a somewhat stunning market realization, options markets currently suggest a 1 in 4.7 chance of a greater-than-50% drop in the S&P over the next year. That is more likely than the lifetime risk of a heart attack. The question then is, are tail-risks over-priced? Or are investors willing to overpay for that kind of 'deflation' insurance since we now know that the impossible is possible!

11-2-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   DATA EXTRAVAGANZA CONFUSES MARKETS 11-2-12 The employment report came in and it was another surprise. The number of new jobs was 171K vs 125K expected. At the same time the unemployment rate rose to 7.9% vs 7.8%. The more curious numbers were the massive readjustments to jobs added in August (142K to 192K) and September (114K to 148K). These types of things are unprecedented prompting some like RDQ Economics to state the gains are implausibly high... PIMCOs Bill Gross merely asserted structural unemployment is 10%. The under-employment data or U-6 fell slightly from 14.7% to 14.6% which is still unacceptably high. In 2011 the economy added an average of 151K jobs per month and in 2012 so far this hasnt budged much at 157K. Neither of these numbers can reduce unemployment. Basically unemployment is the same as when Obama took office. Lost in the data is the number of people whose unemployment benefits (99 weeks worth) have expired and are now forced to take part time work. These numbers are lumped-in with Fridays job data. Worse still incomes continue to decline as noted by ZH in chart below.

There was some initial joy and bullish spin to the numbers. Both Obama and Romney camps spun the data to suit their aims. However Im reminded of an excellent quote from former Secretary of State James Baker when describing his Iraqi counterpart Tariq Aziz: Hes a good diplomat but has no portfolio. Ill let you figure out whom best to ascribe this to.Factory Orders were released and the headline number was good (4.8% vs 4.9% expected & prior -5.1%). However, inside the numbers which algos dont readily see, growth was exclusively aircraft orders while business orders came in at -5%. This continues the theme that corporations are sitting on cash and not investing in expansion. For them its about uncertainty going forward.The people of NY and NJ are coping and struggling with Sandys aftermath. Many people dont have fuel, power, shelter or food. Things there are tense. Our son lives in a twin 50 story apartment complex. It has been vacated and no one is allowed to return to the complex for at least two weeks. Theyre in the streets, returning home if they can find a way out or doubling up with those who have shelter. Its a disaster.Equity markets liked the initial employment data but then second thoughts crept-in as uncertainty surrounding the election outcome builds. There is another election on Wednesday which is in (cough) Greece. There the polls are also quite tight and a loss by the current majority means possibly a Grexit once again. So, uncertainty atop uncertainty? The dollar (UUP) rallied sharply early causing gold (GLD) and other commodities (DBC) (USO) (DBB) to sell-off sharply. Even bonds (TLT) struggled as it seems theres a rush to the sidelines overall.Once mighty Apple (AAPL) is nearing bear market levels which would have been unthinkable just a few weeks ago. Materials (XLB) are the tell regarding soft economic growth since they now telegraph weak industrial demand. Volume was once again light since many traders are unavailable physically or electronically. Even many HFTs have been stilled by a loss of power. Breadth per the WSJ was negative…’

Chart Of The Day: America's Geriatric Work F(a)rce

The traditional excuse apologists for America's collapsing labor force participation rate use every month is that due to "demographics" and retiring baby boomers, increasingly more old workers are no longer counted by the BLS and as a result, are skewing the labor force. That's where they leave it because digging into details is not really anyone's forte anymore. This would be great if it was true. It isn't. And nowhere is this more visible than in today's jobs report. On the surface, the US generated a whopping 413,000 jobs (after generating a massive 873,000 last month) according to the Household Survey in October. That's great, unfortunately breaking down this cumulative addition by age cohort confirms precisely what we have said: all the jobs are going to old workers, who have zero wage bargaining leverage (as they just want to have a day to day paycheck). To wit: when broken down by age group, the total October increase shows that of the new jobs, 10.7% went to those aged 16-19 (source), 11.6% went to those aged 20-24 (source), a tiny 9.8% went to the prime agr group: 25-54 (source), and a massive 67.8% went to America's baby boomers: those aged 55 and over (source), and who refuse to leave the workforce and make way for others.

Friday Humor: The ECB Explains What A Ponzi Scheme Is; Awkward Silence Follows

From the ECB's Virtual Currency Schemes, aka the "Bash Bitcoin Boondoggle" (p. 27): "A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that involves the payment of purported returns to existing investors from funds contributed by new investors. Ponzi scheme organizers often solicit new investors by promising to invest funds in opportunities claimed to generate high returns with little or no risk. In many Ponzi schemes, the fraudsters focus on attracting new money to make promised payments to earlier-stage investors and to use for personal expenses, instead of engaging in any legitimate investment activity." Considering that this elucidation comes from the very same entity that launched the SMP, LTRO, OMT, EFSF, ESM, oh, and of course, TARGET2, and whose head said to not short the EUR as there is "no risk" whatsoever in holding said currency, one would expect that this definition is absolutely spot on...

 

 

 

Stocks Slammed As Apple Tumbles: Yesterday's Rally In Tatters

What a roundtrip! After starting off November with a bang, and after nearly retracing all October losses in the aftermath of the NFP headfake in less than 2 trading sessions, the S&P futures literally imploded, and dropped 23 points from the intraday high, the same distance traveled as it crossed yesterday, only to the downside and on very strong volume for the second day in a row. While the 1400 support in ES is once again in play (ES closed literally on the lows of the session at 1405.5), as we suggested earlier, the far more ominous news is that the AAPL bubble appears to have popped (but, but, it is so cheap on forward multiple basis: guess what - forward multiples are based on forward earnings, which may very well never materialize! and thanks to the dividend, not even AAPL's cash hoard is the bastion it one was) and is now close to entering bear market territory, down just shy of 20% from its all time highs of $705.07 hit on September 12. Now with the 200 DMA taken out, the next support is the 20% retracement from the high which is at $564. After that it is freefall for a long time as a very deep gap needs filling. It is unclear just how much of the selling was there to cause max pain for Dick Bove and Rochdale, for whom every tick lower in the stock means a bigger margin call.Finally, news hitting literally seconds ago that MSFT may be launching its own phone if its partner strategy falters, means there go even more margins.

 

 

And Dan Loeb's Biggest October Loser Is...

When the hits just keep on coming:

 

 

Spot Where AAPL Snaps 200 DMA, Sending Stocks Sliding

Moments ago AAPL broke the 200 DMA. Whether or not this was due to the earlier news from Rochdale getting caught with its pants down, and supposedly losing tons of money due to a rogue trader "buying" the stock as its proceeded to tumble from its all time highs less then 45 days ago (during which time it has lost more than 10 years worth of dividends in market cap), is unclear. What is quite clear, is the moment when the general market realized what had just happened. Sure enough, the jobs number came and want, and ES largely faded that move in under an hour. It remains to be seen if a technical indicator for the world's most widely held stock is more important to the general stock market than how many 60 year old workers the US economy added in October. Oh, and as for that whole iPad mini launch spectacle? Sorry. Time for the iPad Mini Magnum launch... or maybe even the maxiPad.

Europe liked the blizzard of U.S. data thinking it might spill across the pond. The IMF said a Greek deal is on the horizon (Lost Horizons?). U.S. data included: reconstructed ADP data which showed 158K new private sector jobs (hard to trust this for now); Jobless Claims (369K vs 370K expected & prior revised higher to 372K); ISM Mfg Data (51.7 vs 51.5 expected & prior 51.15); PMI flat (51.5) Consumer Confidence (72.2 vs 74 expected & prior 70.3); Construction Spending (.6% vs .6% expected & prior -.6%); and, Challenger Job Cuts (47K vs 33K) mostly ignored.The most watched data point will be Fridays employment report now under great suspicion from many corners.Earnings reports investors focused on were stronger results from Chrysler, General Motors, Exxon and Kelloggs) while Pfizer fell as Lipitor patent expired. It must be said that many accuse the auto companies of reporting sales to dealers vs consumers better known as channel stuffing.

Nevertheless bulls seized on quiet and oversold conditions as algos jumped on headline data to ramp markets higher.Its also the start of a new month where fund dividend reinvestment dominates and we enter the normally bullish seasonal period toward year-end.For now, bulls are setting aside worries about the election, fiscal cliff, the eurozone and most other issues and pushing stocks higher in a classic short squeeze.The dollar (UUP) was slightly higher and gold (GLD) modestly weaker.

Americans Aged 18-29 Have A More Favorable Response To Socialism Than To Capitalism In the prior post, we showed a presentation that looked at America from the perspective of a corporation and how it would be completely unsustainable. Luckily, there is little probability that America will ever have anything to do with S-Corp status, and far more likely end up as an agrarian Kolhoz. The reason: based on a Pew survey of America's youth, or those aged 18-29, more have a positive view response toward Socialism than they do toward Capitalism. We will leave it at that.  ,  USA, Inc. - Part 2: If America Were A Corporation, It Would Be Broke-er  When Mary Meeker, formerly of pre-IPO bubble analyst fame, released her "USA, Inc." presentation last year, which assayed the US government as if it were a corporation, her conclusion was simple: the country is broke, and can not continue along the path it is on now. Fast forward to today, when the US debt balance is over $1 trillion higher, and the next edition of Mary Meeker's presentation which she released at last week's Ira Sohn conference. Her conclusion: the US is now broke-er than ever.  ,  Starting Off With A Bang: In First Month Of Fiscal 2013, US Adds $195 Billion In Debt  It seems like it was only yesterday that the US closed the book on Fiscal 2012 (technically, it was September 30), with a modest $16.066 trillion in debt. What was notable is that the monthly additions to the total debt balance toward the end of 2012 were getting smaller and smaller until the October incremental addition was a puny $50 billion (even though mysteriously the US ended up with a budget Surplus of $75 billion for the month). Turns out it was merely yet another political stall tactic to avoid the true face of America's debt peeking into the open public. Because as of several hours ago, the DTS announced the total debt as of October 31, or the first completed month of fiscal 2013. The number: $16.262 trillion. This means that in the month of October, when delaying displaying the true creditor plight of this country was no longer an option, Uncle Sam went to town, and raised $195 billion. This amounts to $6.3 billion per calendar (not work) day, and $262 million per calendar (not work) hour.  ,  Hurricane Sandy Satellite Photos: Before And After  http://albertpeia.com/jerseyshorebeforeaftersandy.jpg  ,  Dumpster Diving In The Lower East Side  ,  As Redemptions Surge, The Dreaded Hedge Fund "Gate" Is Back  ,  GM Channel Stuffing Soars To Record  For a few months there, we were worried that GM may have actually found a (government-funded) natural subprime buyer of its vehicles after the company managed to keep its channel stuffing in check for several months. Those fears ended today with the company's October car sales report, according to which GM sold 4.7% more cars, or 42,759 in absolute terms (from 153,005 to 195,764) in October than September, below expectations of a 7.8% increase. So far so good. What however will hardly get any mention from Government Motors cheerleaders is that GM auto inventory at dealers as of October 31 was a record 739,034 (a massive 98 days of supply), an increase of 49,700 from October's 689,334. In other words, the entire incremental rise in sales, and then some, was due to the firm stuffing dealers with even more inventory than they can possibly handle!

Initial Claims Beat Expectations, Last Week's Beat Revised To Miss

 

Last week, when we reported last week's lucky Initial Claims expectations beat of 369K, we explicitly said the following: "today's Initial Claims number which magically "beat" expectations by 1K, printing at 369K, on expectations of 370K, will be revised to a miss of 372K next week." And guess what last week's number was just revised to? That's right: 372K, which means that last week's beat was actually a miss. But who cares. Oh, and this week's just as manipulated print of 363K, which was a beat of expectations of 370K, will be spun as a 9K drop in initial claims of course. Next week this number will be revised to 365K-366K as usual, because the BLS has now upward revised its weekly claims number for something like 80 weeks in a row.

"Obama/Romney, Romney/Obama the most important election of our lifetime? Fact is theyre all the same bought and paid for with the same money. Ours is a country of the SuperPAC, by the SuperPAC, and for the SuperPAC. The people are merely election-day pawns, pulling a Democratic or Republican lever that will deliver the same results every four years. Change you can believe in? I bought that one hook, line and sinker in 2008 during the last vestige of my disappearing middle age optimism. We got a more intelligent President, but we hardly got change. Healthcare dominated by corporate interests whats new? Financial regulation dominated by Wall Street whats new? Continuing pointless foreign wars whats new? Ill tell you what isnt new. Our two-party system continues to play ping pong with the American people, and the electorate is that white little ball going back and forth over the net. This sides better no, that one looks best. Elephants/Donkeys, Donkeys/Elephants. Perhaps the most farcical aspect of it all is that the choice between the two seems to occupy most of our time. Instead of digging in and digging out of this mess on a community level, we sit in front of our flat screens and watch endless debates about red and blue state theologies or listen to demagogues like Rush Limbaugh or his ex-cable counterpart Keith Olbermann."

10-31-12 Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com ‘HALLOWEEN TRICKS FOR MARKETS 10-31-12 After two days of market closures, I wonder how many people missed the investing scene? Speaking for myself I enjoyed the days off. And, it appeared we didn’t miss much. It could be 3 days a week (Tuesday-Thursday) would suffice for most carbon-based investors. The machines might rust up and the exchanges wouldn’t like the loss of trading volume not that there is much anyway.  I noted to subscribers today that this felt like a “zero-week” in the army. That is, there isn’t much going on in advance of Friday’s employment report and Tuesday’s election. After we pass through those gates of hell perhaps we’ll get a better read on the way forward.In the meantime data and earnings continue to flow. The Chicago PMI (released ham-handedly again) fell to 49.9 vs 51 expected. Under the hood the employment data within the data was 50.3, which was the lowest in 33 months. ADP slashed September job growth from 162K to 88K which is quite remarkable. And, these aren’t a good sign for employment data ahead.  General Motors (GM) reported earnings that beat while other reports seemed unremarkable. Insurance companies (KIE) were on the downside given claims pouring in from hurricane Sandy. Apple (AAPL) was on the downside early as two high-ranking executive were shown the door.Overseas markets were mixed overall. Greece is on the verge of getting an extension (it’s what politicians do) to austerity demands. The Bank of Japan is leading the way in QE logging in nearly $1 trillion in stimulus. They’re the buyer of last resort for their own bonds. Global central banks are “all-in” now on QE and how/when this will end is the fantasy they and we live in.It may not be worth posting until Friday when the latest employment data is released. There are many guesses as to the data and lots of suspicions at the same time.The dollar (UUP) was slightly lower and gold higher. Commodities (DBC) and oil (USO) were basically flat. Bonds (TLT) were higher as stocks searched for direction. Volume was ultra-light once again as most investors are waiting for data and the election it seems.

I’ve been hearing it on the corporate radio, seeing it on corporate TV and reading it in the corporate newspapers. There are stories in the press that this storm won’t hurt the  earnings of insurers. The only way this can be true is if the insurance companies figure out a way to not pay claims. They wouldn’t do that. Would they? It seems all the stories use unnamed economists as the background experts for their contention that this storm will not cause any big problems for the country. These are the same economists who never see a recession coming, never see a housing collapse, and are indoctrinated in Keynesian claptrap theory.

 

 

ADP "Cancels" 365,000 Private Jobs Created In 2012  Frequent readers know that in addition of any "data" and "numbers" out of Larry Yun's National Association of Realtors, which we openly boycott as these are consistently manipulated (recall the massive historical December 2011 revision), slanted and conflicted, the second dataset which we have mocked with a passion is anything coming out of the ADP, which every month releases its "Private Jobs" number a day before the official BLS Non-farm Payroll data. Today, our mockeries have been proven 100% spot on. The reason? A week ago, ADP announced that going forward it would coordinate with Moody's (yes, that Moody's), and especially its chief economist, SecTres hopeful (InTrade odds of actually attain that post: 0.00) Mark Zandi, to fudge adjust its data going forward. The data revision was supposed to be publicly disclosed tomorrow when the official October ADP number was released. Well, just like today's Chicago PMI, and so many other data points recently, this too was released early. What the early release allowed us to promptly calculate is that using the historically revised numbers, and comparing those based on the original methodology, in 2012 alone, the US would have lost a whopping... 365,000 private jobs! Putting thus number in context, according to the revised methodology, the US has generated only 1.172MM jobs in 2012 through September, or in other words, a statistical "fix" magically eliminated over 30% of what the market had previously expected were job gains, a number which the incumbent president has certain taken advantage of on more than one occasions while campaigning.  ,  Guest Post: Chinas J-31 Stealth Aircraft Takes Flight  ‘….

The Case Against Corzine

As the one year anniversary of the MF Global Bankruptcy is upon us, the WSJ has now joined the NY Times in writing a woe is me piece on behalf of Jon Corzine. The WSJ continues bemoaning the pitiable situation of restlessness and frustration of the former CEO of Goldman Sachs, former Governor of New Jersey, and former Senator from New Jersey who apparently isnt content with being confident about the likelihood that he will avoid any criminal charges related to MF Global. Corzine is still estimated to be worth several hundred million dollars despite presiding over the failure of the largest non-bank commodity broker where $1.6 billion in customer money was stolen. I cry for him, I really do... Trying to portray Corzine as being focused on mundane things like finding a job rather than worried about doing jail time for his obvious crimes appears to be another prong of Corzines attorneys use of the Chewbacca Defense, along with saying that the fraud charges Make No Sense, because the money Vaporized and he had no motive since he had a de minimis portion of his net worth invested in MF Global stock. However, proving Corzine committed fraud and perjury would be relatively simple for any motivated prosecutor. Since the Department of Justice clearly is not motivated to prosecute Corzine after he bundled $500,000+ in campaign contributions to their boss, I provide this quick and easy guide for any ambitious state prosecutor to bring charges themselves:

 

One Year Later - Santelli Rips Apart 'Connected' Corzine

There remains more than $1.6 billion of customer funds unaccounted for and whether you believe PwC (as Forbes notes) were duped or not, one year on from MFGlobal, one thing is for sure - there is no more hated character in the pits of Chicago than Jon Corzine. CNBC's Rick Santelli says it all in this blockbuster rant against the incredible reality that this 'connected' individual has got away with monetary murder. Must watch - but beware your blood pressure... as he concludes "we haven't heard the end of this - Chicago will find the answers!"

 

Guest Post: The Financial Super-Storm of 2013

Four years of glorious central-planning "extend and pretend" have enriched the political and financial Aristocracies, and imbued them with a bubble-era hubris that they have indeed gotten away with murder: the $6 trillion the Federal government borrowed over the past four years, the Fed's $2 trillion in fresh cash, the Fed's $16 trillion bailout of the banking sector and various perception management manipulations have righted the storm-tossed ship. All those with power in 2008 remain in power and all those with outsized wealth in 2008 still hold their outsized wealth. Except the financial tides and winds have shifted, and the linearity of central planning is about to be disrupted by nonlinear, positive-feedback storms.

10-26-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   MARKETS LIMP INTO THE WEEKEND 10-26-12 It seems to this observer that perhaps not much is going to happen with markets until after the election. There are just too many headwinds of uncertainty surrounding everything. Of course, there is always the unknown news event that can throw things in one direction or another but that kind of stuff is always with us. The tell now is with corporations who arent spending based on uncertainty surrounding the election, tax policies, the fiscal cliff, eurozone and so forth. Until these issues become clear were in stall mode. Overseas news was dominated by the Bank of Japan launching another round of stimulus on fears that it wont be able to sell its next bond issue unless they buy it themselves. Frankly, Japan has more problems with a debt bubble than is currently in the news. Korean stocks fell on a decline in exports which isnt a surprise. Chinese stocks fell to a 5 week low on poor earnings. Spains unemployment rate soared to 25% vs 24% which is stunning even as a stealth bank bailout is underway. The troika determined that a Greek bailout was still illusive combined with the countrys demand for 30 billion more was needed. (The amounts needed there will always be growing it seems as conditions fall by the wayside.) In France S&P cut ratings for both BNP Paribas and SocGen. And, even in Canada Moodys put six banks on watch for downgrades including Bank of Montreal. Later in the day Swiss icon UBS announced it would lay-off 10K employees. Meanwhile back in the U.S. GDP data was reported at 2% vs 1.8% expected with nearly 1/3 of the gain from government spending. Consumer Sentiment, highly weighted by stock prices, was at 82.6 vs 83.1. I have more confidence in the Conference Board data. The big earnings news from Apple (AAPL) was panned as the stock declined while Amazon (AMZN) rose despite the large miss on earnings, revenues and guidance. As to the latter, an analyst at Needham stated the poor report presented the opportunity for a large upside surprise on the next report which is how WS can spin bad news. With the PE at 280 (no typo) thats the kind of thinking that institutional robots use to invest based on analysts recommendations. The dollar (UUP) was flat as was gold (GLD). Commodity markets (DBC) and (USO) were also relatively unchanged  Bonds (TLT) and (IEF) were higher in price as the sawtooth trading range pattern continues over most maturities. Stocks were uninspired overall lacking certainty on issues noted above and mostly declining earnings closing flat on the day. Its really a wait and see game for now. Volume was once again light as most investors find little incentive to get further involved now. Breadth per the WSJ was mostly negative…’,  YAHOO [BRIEFING.COM]:  ‘…Amazon gained 6.9% after reporting its earnings. The online retailer lost $0.23 per share. However, the number may not be comparable to the Capital IQ consensus estimate which forecast a loss of $0.10. The company's revenue of $13.81 billion was largely in-line with expectations, but management issued downside fourth quarter guidance…’ { Tell me Whats wrong with this (foregoing) picture (of wall street insanity)? }  ,  Guest Post: A Golden Opportunity  { Wow! The truth really hurts! Difficult to imagine, however, given the obsessive compulsive mindset of players including non-muppet puppeteers among others heavily invested in this fiasco which is an overriding dynamic, at least thus far in this comedy of errors gone global. } The euro debt crisis in Europe has presented Germany with a unique opportunity to lead the world away from monetary destruction and its consequences of economic chaos, social unrest, and unfathomable human suffering. The cause of the euro debt crisis is the misconstruction of the euro that allows all members of the European Monetary Union (EMU), currently 17 sovereign nations, to print euros and force them on all other members. Germany is on the verge of seeing its capital base plundered from the inevitable dynamics of this tragedy of the commons. It should leave the EMU, reinstate the deutsche mark (DM), and anchor it to gold.  ,  The Complete 'Advanced' Economy Sovereign Ratings Cheat-Sheet  S&P recently acted to markedly downgrade Spain, and Moodys has ended its recent ratings review, leaving Spain at Baa3; and while ratings could remain largely stable in the short-term (supported by OMT's promise and the possible delay of GRExit), there are a few exceptions such as France and and the UK that Citi's Rates group expect to see downgrades on in the short-term. The following table provides the full breakdown of Moody's and S&P's ratings for the advanced economies along with Citi's model views - which imply weak outlooks for most of Europe in the medium-term as Greek reality hits home.  ,  Guest Post: Putin Is the New Global Shah of Oil  Exxon Mobil is no longer the world's number-one oil producer. As of yesterday, that title belongs to Putin Oil Corp oh, whoops. We mean the title belongs to Rosneft, Russia's state-controlled oil company. With TNK-BP in its hands, Rosneft will be in charge of more than 4 million barrels of oil production a day. And who is in charge of Rosneft? None other than Vladimir Putin, Russia's resource-full president. Gazprom in control of Europe's gas, Rosneft in control of its oil. A red hand stretching out from Russia to strangle the supremacy of the West and pave the way for a new world order one with Russia at the helm. It is not as far-fetched as it might seem or as you might want it to be. Or imagine this: Russia could join OPEC.  ,  Why The Real Earnings Picture Is Bad And Getting Worse  Listening to the incessant chatter of confirmation bias from CNBC, you could be forgiven for thinking that earnings are 'not that bad'. Headline-makers like AMZN, GOOG, and AAPL scare for a few moments but we are reassured back to numb BTFD-land by some disingenuous analyst (or worse a PM) who says he is buying with both hands and feet. The misleadingly top-down positive impression of looking at a 'beats-to-total ratio', suffers from one rather annoying bias (that often gets forgotten):  analysts constantly revising their expectations throughout the reporting period, and hence rarely deviates from the current level of 71%. But, as Citi notes, if one examines results relative to analyst expectations prior to the reporting season, it's clear just how disappointing Q3 has been - especially given the sell-side mark-downs already factored-in.Intriguingly, for as downbeat as third quarter results have been, we've yet to see the sell-side revise down estimates for next quarter or 2013.

 

 

Vietnamese Banks Who Paid Dividend On Stored Gold, Were Quietly Selling It To Appear Solvent

Several months ago, we reported about a troubling development in Vietnam, happy inflationary host of one of the world's most rapidly devaluing and best named currencies, that in direct refutation of Ben "Gold is not money, it is tradition" Bernanke's claim that gold is just a trinket one can fondle with no inherent value, the local banks had gone as far as paying the local residents a dividend to "store" their gold (recall all those charges against gold that it never, ever pays a dividend....). However, as we subsequently warned, any time a bank, and especially an entire banking sector, is willing to pay you paper "dividends" for your gold, run, because all this kind of (s)quid pro quo usually ends up as a confiscation ploy. Sure enough, as Dow Jones reports today, the gold, which did not belong to the banks and was merely being warehoused there (or so the fine print said), was promptly sold by these same institutions to generate cash proceeds and to boost liquidity reserves using other people's gold, obtained under false pretenses.

 

 

 

UBS To Terminate 10,000, Or One Sixth Of Its Employees

There is down-sizing; there is trimming-the-fat; and then there is UBS. The once-giant Swiss Bank just announced it will cut up to 10,000 jobs. This comes on top of the 3,500 from last year - which makes a rather dramatic weight-loss strategy for the 63,500 employee firm. As the FT reports, they will not happen all at once (so just after the election then?) but will lead to the closure of a sizable part of UBS' fixed-income trading operations (and other capital intensive areas of the investment bank). Perhaps in the understatement of the day: "There were several options on the table but UBS has decided on the most radical one," a person familiar commented as the plan is hoped to reduce complexity and costs - so no more Bloomberg Terminals? One thing surely gone is a source of fixed income axes: "The new strategy, hammered out in several executive board meetings in New York this week and set to be announced next Tuesday, will lead to the closure of a sizeable part of UBSs fixed-income trading operations and other capital-intensive areas of the investment bank." The winner: Goldman of course, which in a world of collapsing trading revenues has taken to Lehmaning its competition once again, only this time not using brute force but the far more classical war of attrition in a collapsing economy.

 

 

September 30, 2012 US Debt-To-GDP: 102.4%

The government may have been instrumental to the US economy growing in the third quarter (did we say may: generating over 30% of the annualized 2.0% "growth" in Q3 probably qualifies as was absolutely instrumental in this impartial, apolitical datapoint), but the bottom line is that there was a cost. There is always cost. And a number: the number is $15.776 trillion, which was the absolute GDP number as of September 30, 2012 (to be revised lower in one month). This means we can now calculate what total US Debt-GDP was as of 3 weeks ago. And with the DTS reporting that debt was $16.16 trillion as of the day the third quarter ended (net of the SSN funding adjustment, which of course is always reported the first day of the next quarter for window dressing purposes), it means that total US Debt-to-GDP was 102.4%. And obviously rising much faster as since the Second Great Depression it takes well over $2 in debt for every $1 increase in GDP. Because there never is such a thing as a free lunch, especially when the government is operating the soup kitchens...

 

 

Q3 GDP Estimate Beats Expectations As Government "Consumption" Soars

The preliminary look at Q3 GDP just came out and "beat" expectations of a 1.8% print, with a 2.0% reading (or just in line with stall speed, a number which previously has been indicative of recessions). So far so good, but as with every other pre-election economic data point out of the government, one has to look behind the headline to get the true picture. And the details are, as expected, ugly. Because of the 2.02% annualized increase in GDP, over one third, or 0.71% (compared to a deduction of -0.14% in Q2), was contributed by "Government Consumption."  This was the biggest rise in government spending in 3 years, and only the first contribution by Uncle Sam to its own GDP print since Q2 2010. So in much the same way as the September jobs print soared courtesy of government employee hiring, this same government is now juicing its own numbers to make itself look better. The real question is what the second and third Q3 GDP revisions will show, which both come, luckily, after the election. Recall that Q2 GDP initially came out at 1.5%, then was revised to 1.7%, until finally coming to rest at 1.25%.

10-25-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   MARKETS QUIET BEFORE APPLE EARNINGS 10-25-12 Overseas news featured a report from the China Conference Board which saw growth in the country at only .3% vs 1.7% previously. The Bank of Japan indicated it would join the QE party and begin stimulus operations. The UK reported GDP data at 1% meaning the recession is over or there would be a triple dip. In the U.S. Jobless Claims were about as expected (369K vs 372K expected & prior revised higher to 392K). Upward revisions to all data seem commonplace now but certainly make for better beats. Durable Goods Orders headline number rose (9.9% vs 7% expected & prior -13.1%) and ex-Transportation (2% vs 1% expected & prior revised lower to -2.1%). However the important data within this report was business investment remained flat meaning GDP data may be downgraded again. Corporations are holding back due to uncertainty regarding the election, fiscal cliff, tax policy and healthcare expenses. Pending Home Sales (.3% vs 2.5% expected) were poorly received.The spin on earnings thus far has been about beating lowered estimates overall. However guidance and revenues are in decline. Its said earnings overall for the S&P 500 will be down 1.8% while ex-Apple down 3.1% such is the weighting of the one. Apple (AAPL) and Amazon (AMZN) among others report earnings after the close as the flood of earnings continues. Apple shares have dropped nearly 14% from their highs amid production woes, factory scandals in China and disappointment over the iPad Mini. Thursday before the earnings release Apple stated they would be launching a radio service. This crushed Pandoras (P) stock price on the news.  Apple earnings were expected around $8.85 with whisper numbers as high as $9.85 and came in at only $8.67. All acolytes unite!! Amazon on the other hand is hell-bent on capturing market share for just about everything at the expense of profits. How long that can last is anyones guess. Amazon reported a miss of $13.81 billion in revenues vs $13.92 billion expected and an earnings loss (after adjustments) of 23 cents vs loss of 7 cents expected. The company also guided revenues lowershares slid. Also, previous high flyer Coinstar (CSTR) reported earnings (dba, Red Box) shares slid after its report disappointed. Stocks began the day sharply higher on employment and global data but then faded as investors looked further under the hood and also ahead to obvious unknowns. Most sectors closed the day relatively unchanged.The dollar (UUP) was slightly higher while gold (GLD) managed to climb some from its recent lows. Commodities (DBC) and oil (USO) were little changed overall. Bonds (TLT) continued to be weak no doubt still disappointed that the Fed didnt super-size QE3.

David Einhorn Explains How Ben Bernanke Is Destroying America  ZH  "We have just spent 15 years learning that a policy of creating asset bubbles is a bad idea, so it is hard to imagine why the Fed wants to create another one. But perhaps the more basic question is: How fruitful is the wealth effect? Is the additional spending that these volatile paper profits are intended to induce overwhelmed by the lost consumption of the many savers who are deprived of steady, recurring interest income? We have asked several well-known economists who publicly support the Feds policy and found that they dont have good answers. If Chairman Bernanke is setting distant and hard-to-achieve benchmarks for when he would reverse course, it is possibly because he understands that it may never come to that. Sooner or later, we will enter another recession. It could come from normal cyclicality, or it could come from an exogenous shock. Either way, when it comes, it is very likely we will enter it prior to the Fed having normalized monetary policy, and well have a large fiscal deficit to boot. What tools will the Fed and the Congress have at that point? If the Fed is willing to deploy this new set of desperate measures in these frustrating, but non-desperate times, what will it do then? We dont know, but a large allocation to gold still seems like a very good idea."

 

 

 

Overnight Market: Futures Breaking Below Draghi-Believe Lows  ZH S&P futures are being crushed overnight. Currently trading below the levels of September 5th Draghi comments (back under 1400) and -11pts from the close. AUD is weak, Treasuries are modestly bid (as is the USD) and commodities are rolling over. The catalyst? We see four things: 1) Delayed reaction to global supply chain implications of an AAPL outlook cut (and/or overseas holders hedging) as well as some missed earnings in China; 2) Major Aussie quasi-bank Banksia (yes, its really called that!) hitting the skids (a la Northern Rock) bringing fear that Australia is entering 2008-mode USA; 3) a NYT article which could be inferred as a direct attack on the Chinese political faction (exposing Wen Jiabao's hidden billions); and/or 4) a realization that at 14-plus x P/E multiples, the US equity markets are not pricing in anything the kind of possible pain a fiscal cliff scenario (or Romney-ite in the Fed) might bring. Of course, the need for a narrative is irrelevant, the most net long position since 2008 is unwinding (for now) but by the time we wake for New York's morning, things could have reversed once again.

 

 

 

Guest Post: The Dark Age Of Money  ZH  If you often wonder why free market capitalism feels like it is failing despite universal assurances from economists and political pundits that it is working as intended, your intuition is correct. Free market capitalism has become a thing of the past. In truth free market capitalism has been replaced by something that is truly anti-free market and anti-capitalistic. The diversion operates in plain sight. Beginning sometime around 1970 the U.S. and most of the free world have diverged from traditional free market capitalism to something different. Today the U.S. and much of the worlds economies are operating under what I call Monetary Fascism: a system where financial interests control the State for the advancement of the financial class. This is markedly different from traditional Fascism: a system where State and industry work together for the advancement of the State. Monetary Fascism was created and propagated through the Chicago School of Economics. Milton Friedmans collective works constitute the foundation of Monetary Fascism. Today the financial and banking class enforces this ideology through the media and government with the same ruthlessness of the Church during the Dark Ages: to question is to be a heretic.   When asked in an interview what humanities future looked like, Eric Blair, better known as George Orwell, said Imagine a boot smashing a human face forever.

 

 

Apple Disappoints

And so the behemoth misses... again:

APPLE 4Q EPS $8.67, EST. $8.75 - miss

APPLE 4Q SALES $36.0B - slight beat

APPLE SOLD 14.0 MILLION IPADS DURING QTR, UNIT EST. 15.3M

But the uglyness is in the forecast. And this time it is not a low-ball:

APPLE SEES 1Q EEPS $11.75, , EST. $15.49

APPLE SEES 1Q REV. ABOUT $52B, EST. $55.07B

Stock halted so keep an eye on the QQQ as a proxy - QQQs imply AAPL $590 here (200DMA is $587)... AAPL will resume trading at 4:50ET

 

 

Amazon Bloodbath After Hours As Suddenly "Earnings Matter" Once Again

After defying gravity for months on end, on what we quarter after quarter warned were ever declining margins and revenue growth, the Amazon bubble (just about 300x P/E at last check) has finally popped, and investors no longer believe that the company can offset collapsing profit margins with increasing volume. And yes, the Kindle is proving to be nothing more than yet another fad rather than the latest and greatest razor-razorblade ecosystem paradigm.

 

 

 

10-24-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  MARKETS UNIMPRESSED BY FED ACTION 10-24-12 The Fed announced basically no changes in policies Wednesday. Parse the statement 20 different ways from Sunday and all you find is weak fixed business investment, global risks and more stable home prices. So previous ideas the Fed would double asset purchases was not in the cards for this meeting. Tuesday the rumor swirled that Ben would not be accepting a third term as Fed chief if offered (Romney has said no to an offer anyway). This gave markets the blue since Ben has been providing the sugar bulls were addicted to. Ben no doubt wants to write a book, sit on boards and make lucrative speeches. Besides he may miss those Bee Gee days ya think?New Home Sales in the U.S. rose 5.7% the highest rate in two years screamed the headlines in the financial media. But as always, inside the numbers things werent quite so rosy as again prior data was revised lower (368K vs 373K) thus allowing for the beat. The Flash PMI rose to 51.3 vs expected 51.5 but prior data was revised lower from 51.5 to 51.1 allowing a beat. (Oh, those pesky revisions!)Chinese manufacturing rose from 47.9 to 49.1 which cheered investors hoping for a soft landing in the region. But, at the same time eurozone manufacturing fell as did German confidence data. Europes SAP reported better earnings allowing for a rebound in indexes. Boeing (BA) reported weaker earnings but beat estimates while Eli Lilly (LLY) missed and Dow Chemical (DOW) announced large lay-offs. Facebook (FB) shares soared 22% at the open on a slightly better report regarding mobile ads. However, the outsized boost came as a result of a massive short squeeze abetted by some analyst buy ratings. Cynically, lets remember restricted shares are due for release in two months so getting the stock higher helps those in need.There have been rumors from the eurozone that a deal with Greece had been reached. (This was all later denied by Draghi and further amended by the troika that no monies would be dispersed until conditions are met.) In it is an austerity commitment of $13.5 billion over two years, an increase in the retirement age to 67 from 65 and a placement of 25K government workers on reserve (read layoffs & welfare). If this were true wed see tear gas and firebombs in the streets of Athens by now. The show in the eurozone may go on for years. The ECBs Draghi spoke to the German parliament Wednesday and everyone came away talking about how comforting the presentation was. Spiegel featured Germanys Finance Minister Schauble with a grimmer outlook. Its the central banks and QE vs economic data and earnings. Below are charts of economic data from China, Europe and the U.S., which tell the story (courtesy of ZH and Credit Suisse).

This article visualizes the size of the program and the vast amounts of people participating.  ,  Guest Post: Plutonocrits  The term 'Plutonomy' was originally coined by Citigroup analyst Ajay Kapur, who argued that in many countries, an ever larger part of economic activity was due to the the richest segments of society, as wealth disparities have increased a great deal in recent decades. Countries with especially large Gini coefficients (i.e., an especially large gap between rich and poor) were deemed to represent such 'Plutonomies' by Kapur. We would briefly comment  here that one of the main reasons why the gap between rich and poor has widened so much is the vast amount of monetary inflation that has taken place in recent decades. It is not inequality as such that is the problem. The problem is that while the rich have gained from monetary inflation, the middle class and the poor have at the same time lost out.  , On That 'China Is At 52-Week Highs' Meme   It appears once again that the behavior of a liquidity-constrained high-beta market-price is encouraging excitement among some of the world's 'smartest' media mavens. "But, but, but, 'China' at 52-week highs must mean something?" we hear. Well three things on that meme: 1) the 52-week high Hang-Seng is not reflective of 'China' fundamentals per se - instead a far faster-money inflow/outflow liquidity indicator; 2) China's Shanghai Composite remains extremely weak; and 3) the Hang-Seng has had three false (and dramatic) swings in the last three years which have all reverted painfully fast (1 bearish and 2 bullish) - do you believe this time is different? Fall 2010 and Spring 2012 both looked great - until they crashed and burned...  ,  Chart Of The Day: 55 And Under? No Job For You  Nearly two years ago, and progressing to this day, we first observed (and subsequently even the mainstream media caught on) that America's labor force is slowly but surely converting itself from a full-time to part-time worker society. The reasons for this are obvious: to corporations, the benefits associated with employing part-time workers are countless: avoiding substantial benefits-related costs, evading long-term job contracts, hourly basis wages, and many others. In fact, as long as there is slack in the economy, and there will be for a long, long time as the shift in labor demand is now secular, regardless of what the Fed wants to admit, employers will have ever more leverage, while workers have less and less (and are forced to agree to any employment terms, as long as they get some paycheck at all). This much has been known. What has gotten far less prominence is that of the much trumpeted 4+ million jobs added since the trough in late 2009, virtually all the job additions have gone to (part-time) workers 55 years and over. Indeed, as the chart below shows, starting since the official NBER end of the recession in June 2009, the US has cumulatively added 2.9 million jobs. However, when broken down by age cohort, 3.5 million of these jobs have gone to US workers aged between 55 and 69. Another 729K have gone to recent college grads aged 20-24. What about those workers in their prime years: between 25 and 54 years of age? They have lost a total of 729,000 jobs since June 30, 2009!  ,  Guest Post: New Home Sales - Not As Strong As Headlines Suggest  While the media continues to push the idea that the housing market is on the mend the data really doesn't yet support such optimism.  The current percentage of the total number of housing units available that are currently occupied remains at very depressed levels. When it comes to the reality of the housing recovery the 4-panel chart (below) tells the whole story. There is another problem with the housing recovery story.  It isn't real.  The nascent recovery in the housing market, such as it has been, has been driven by the largest amount of fiscal subsidy in the history of world. The problem, however, is that for all of the financial support and programs that have been thrown at the housing market - only a very minor recovery could be mustered. With household formation at very low levels and the 25-35 cohort facing the highest levels of unemployment since the "Great Depression" it is no wonder that being a "renter" is no longer a derogatory label.  ,  Evacuate The Dancefloor: Coordinated Dump In Stocks, Bonds, Commodities And Crude 

 

 

Raj Gupta Gets Two Years

RAJAT GUPTA GETS 24-MONTH PRISON SENTENCE FOR INSIDER TRADING

RAJAT GUPTA FINED $5 MILLION

Moral of the story: steal $100 million (illustratively: nobody knows what the bottom line impact of the criminal activity was: could be more, could be less) -> spend two years in a minimum security country club, electric golf carts included. Look for a surge in insider trading cases with this ruling which makes risks to getting caught trading on inside information not only acceptable, but in fact welcome. The good news, for Jon Corzine at least, is that if the MF Global case ever gets to the sentencing stage (it won't), his sentence would be to fly coach class for 24-48 hours.

 

 

Guest Post: Ben Bernanke's Secret Philanthropy

Legendary oilman T. Boone Pickens famously calls Americas oil imports the greatest transfer of wealth in the history of the world. Pickens is referring to the money that is paid each year to oil exporting nations, particularly those in the Persian Gulf which raked in around $100 billion last year. No doubt, this is an enormous transfer of wealth. But its a drop in the bucket compared to the TRILLIONS that Ben Bernanke gives the worlds elite. It constitutes, by far, the greatest transfer of wealth in history, vastly exceeding Americas energy imports. Its an unconscionable, immoral, ridiculous game. But theres good news we can stop playing whenever we want. We dont HAVE to hold their worthless currency. We dont HAVE to keep transferring our purchasing power to an elite group. We can opt-out. Trade as much of their paper as you can for something REAL, especially physical precious metals.

 

 

 

 

Debates 'diminished' Obama, says Romney "You can boil down what he's saying to four simple words: more of the same," Romney said today in Reno. { I’m truly astounded that after 4 years of b***s***, lies, profligate spending for obfuscation but much vacation, and consequent unequivocal failure, people are even listening to, much less ‘buying’ what wobama desperately says. Not even a word from 0 is worth listening to. That includes those who should supposedly know better. Moreover, self-respect requires that americans reject wobama’s desperate campaign slings, arrows, and desperate entreaties which ignore the reality of his blatant failure in large part owing to his having failed to do as promised last ‘eternal campaign’. Then there’s the threats and intimidation from the niggers who are like ignorant, vicious  animals in lockstep accord with the abject and utter presidential failure obama; yet, such typical ‘clannish’ racism by blacks is virtually ignored and rational opposition to the failure spelled ‘0’ is being cast as racist. How can any nation survive such contraindicated insanity.  I’m truly amazed! }

10-23-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  THUMBS DOWN ON EARNINGS 10-23-12 Suddenly things dont look good for bulls. Most of it is based on poor earnings and outlooks from leading companies. Its strange since earnings season was expected to be poor. Therefore there must be more to it than that and there is. The idea circulated Tuesday that Bernanke would not want a second term which might deprive bulls of the best supporter. A Romney win, now seen as more possible, would cement this based on his statements to build his own team and disapproval of current Fed policies. Suddenly with the election close fiscal cliff worries are back front and center once again. Also eurozone issues were with us (againsigh) as Spain provincial debt was slashed by Moodys and the high court in the EU is examining bailout limitations. Back to earnings news and the difficulties began with DuPont (DD) where earnings declined 98% and guidance was reduced. This negatively affected materials (XLB). Next was United Parcel Service (UPS) which noted declines in shipping overseas (eurozone). Things went south from there for equities.Economic data featured poor data from the Richmond Fed (-7 vs +5 expected & prior +4).Monday markets rallied late as a story suggested the Fed might double the size of QE3 which again is the candy bulls feast on. Wednesday the Fed will announce their policy and any changes.Serial new product rollout show from Apple (AAPL) left investors unimpressed as the stock fell. Like the Fed perhaps you can go to the well one too many times.Stocks fell sharply across the board without the obligatory stick save seen yesterday afternoon. Support levels were taken out throughout major sectors and there was little refuge away from cash or bonds. The dollar (UUP) was higher and commodities (DBC), (USO) & (GLD) were crushed.

The core of our views is shaped by the idea that the very thing being sought, more economic growth (and exponential growth, at that), is exactly the root of the problem.  We suppose we would take a similarly dim view of an alcoholic trying to drink their way back to health as we do the increasingly interventionist central bank and associated political policies the world over. We are losing hope that we will navigate towards anything other than a hard landing at some point because even with copious amounts of data accumulating suggesting that the old ways are not working, we cannot detect even the slightest hint of original thinking or new thoughts coming out of the marbled halls of power. Business-as-usual and more-of-the-same seem to be the only operative ideas right now. But what is a bit startling to me is the number of individuals that have not yet caught onto the idea that things have permanently and irrevocably changed.  ,  Greece Kills Bond Buyback Proposal  One of the zanier proposals floated in the past few weeks, yet sufficient to send Greek bonds soaring to post-restructuring highs on hopes of a take out, was the suggestion that Greece would repurchase its fresh-start bonds in the open market, which recently traded in the teens, and have since virtually doubled, at a price ~25 cents of par. Obviously since the price of the bonds had been much lower, even the mere possibility of what is termed in the industry as a distressed buyback, sent everyone scurrying to purchase the paper, as if it had any intrinsic economic value (it did not), instead of mere hopes that Greece would throw even more good money after bad (especially since the fresh start bonds have a meaningless cash coupon and nobody expects them to be repaid at maturity). There is also the detail that a distressed buyback is, for the rating agencies, equivalent to an Event of Default, but knowledge of that small fact would be demanding too much out of those who scrambled in the latest chase for yield. Anyway, with all that said, it now appears that the whole idea is over, with Greek Kathimerini reporting moments ago that Greece has scuttled the proposal for a bond buyback.  ,  Size Doesn't Matter As AAPL's New 8-Incher Underwhelms And Bipolar Market Resumes  ,  Corzine Tells Judge That Due To Purchase Of 50,000 MF Global Shares Before Bankruptcy, He Must Acquit  That former Goldman, New Jersey and MF Global head Jon Corzine is absolutely convinced he is innocent of any client money vaporization or wrongdoing, and that the definition of the phrase "to Corzine (verb- to trust your money to a prominent individual and to find it has mysteriously disappeared)" is absolutely arbitrary, is not news to anyone. And if not convinced then at least at a complete loss to what actually happened. One just had to recall all the "I don't recalls" the Honorable Corzine told congress during the makeshift kangaroo court hearing on MF Global's collapse (even if the final outcome was less than desired).   So it's only logical that the Honorable Corzine asked a federal judge to "toss a civil fraud lawsuit accusing him of misleading investors about the risky bets the futures firm was taking before its collapse a year ago."

We can argue all day long that central bank actions have driven a 'wedge' between fundamentals and market prices (as we did here) and as Gary himself notes "printing money around the world does not help corporate profits" but Kaminsky's view of today's weakness is more nuanced to the outcomes of the election. Critically, he makes the case that the market is starting to realize that whoever wins in two weeks, there is a more negative bias post-election. From Obama's higher taxes and more-of-the-same sluggish economy to Romney's potential China-Trade-war, an implied strong-USD-policy, and potentially the end of the 'Bernanke-Put'; Kaminsky says "the easy money days are gone" and warns of a 1000 point correction being possible.  ,  Guest Post: Debt - Driving The Economy Since 1980  Debt.  There isn't a day that passes as of late that the issue of debt doesn't arise.  Federal debt and consumer debt (including mortgages) are of the most concern due to its impact on the domestic economy.   Debt is, by its very nature, a cancer on economic growth.  As debt levels rise it consumes more capital by diverting it from productive investments into debt service.  As debt levels spread through the system it consumes greater amounts of capital until it eventually kills the host. The problem is that during a balance sheet recession the consumer is forced to pay off debt which detracts from their ability to consume.   This is the one facet that Keynesian economics doesnt factor in. Its time for our leaders to wake up and smell the burning of the dollar we are at war with ourselves and the games being played out by Washington to maintain the status quo is slowing creating the next crisis that wont be fixed with monetary bailout.

Overnight Sentiment: Crashy

Easy come, easier go. After yesterday's last hour ramp driven by a MarketWatch article that said absolutely nothing new about the Fed's monetization plans and an AAPL surge which saw the firm add $22 billion in market cap in one day (or more than the market cap of CBS Corp) sent stocks green, the overnight session has taken it all away and then some, with futures now trading roughly 12 ticks lower or at yesterday's lowest levels. The catalyst is, once again, Spain where Moody's downgraded five Spanish regions including Catalonia after the market close (for the reason, see our piece from the weekend "Spanish Regional Bailout Fund Runs Out Of Money"), coupled with news from Confidencial that Spain's budget deficit will overshoot the EU target of 6.3% and hit at least 7.3%, driven by a 10.5 billion deficit in the social security system, trashing the promises from last month's Spain's "reform" package, and as BNP said (confirming what we warned weeks ago), making the conditionality hurdle suddenly that much higher for Spain. And just as the world was getting comfortable that Spain will get away with using the OMP with virtually no conditions. The cherry on top came from France where the business conditions index slid to a 3 year low on expectations a trough had been put in place. The result is a tumble in the EURUSD to below the 1.3000 barrier, dragging stock futures, commodities, and of course Europe with it, sending the Spanish bond curve yield higher, and generally giving a very sour mood to the day as traders walk in.

http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm      http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm   }   ; despite enormous amounts of taxpayer money poured into the ‘federal system’, there’s relatively/proportionately very little real significant results (an example would be the brutalizing of Martha Stewart over a $45 thousand transaction while wall street frauds in the trillions by the biggest players have gone unprosecuted). I believe reasonable diligence requires self-reliance more than ever before in this nation’s history; particularly when political correctness in some states prevents calling a spade a spade to the substantial detriment of law enforcement! ]

{ The question is do americans have the courage to stand up to the uncivilized terrorist niggers by giving the deserved boot to an egregiously failed president obama who has proven himself to be a typical jive-talking b***s*** nigger himself! Or, are americans going to cower in fear of the nigger threats and prove to the world they are but cowards of a failed nation. }

 

New Threats to Riot if Obama Loses Election...  [ The threats alone are a reason sufficient for backing President Romney. If left unchecked, the nigger terrorists will be even further emboldened to their already egregious criminal, terroristic ways. No man, woman, or child will be safe if the lethal black cancer grows. The 4 years of O have been complete, utter failure and no amount of wobama b***s*** and nigger intimidation can change that fact! Quite simply, niggers are inherently criminal terrorists: Examples of what people are saying include the following;

If obama dont get re-elected & romney wins .. on life every white persons getting pistol whipped and im startin a riot. (SOURCE)

If Obama dont win lets start a riot so Romney know what hes getting himself into. (SOURCE)

You know you aint shit if you gotta MAKE Mafukas vote for ROMNEY ! . Mannnn OBAMA better get back in office . Or BLACK FOLKS will riot. (SOURCE)

If Romney wins im goin on a rampage. (SOURCE)

If Mitt Romney wins the election I think its our duties as Black folks to riot and fuck shit up. (SOURCE)

If every action IS met with an equal and opposite reaction ..what should workers do to employers if Romneys elected? #Riot in the streets!! (SOURCE)

If Romney becomes president lets all start a riot. (SOURCE)

Homo/hetero, Muslim/Hindu/Christian, for Wall Street/against Wall Street, prosecute/no prosecute, war/no war, say one thing/do another, truth/no truth, etc.. wobama’s gotten’ by on b***s*** and ‘special consideration’ alone, never having done anything of substance in his entire life. Indeed, even his so-called ‘auto-biographies’ are works of what appear to be ‘choom-gang’ induced fantasies which reveal a psychogenic/dissociative amnesia that works well in the continuing ‘narrative’ devoid of fact on his ‘more b*** s*** campaign trail’ littered with the cowpies of stark reality.

Did wobama expect that these things would in choom fashion magically come to fruition while he was ‘workin on his tan’, golf swing, or shootin’ hoops on the taxpayer dime? http://albertpeia.com/wobamaschoomgangfantasy.htm 

The point is that you don’t have to love Romney but you at least have to like yourself in saying ‘NO!’ to more wobama b***s*** which is all that he is. Have some self-respect. His grade is unequivocally ‘F’ for failure, having failed to do as promised which coincidentally is a direct cause among others of this debacle called america’s dark obama years.

Did the final presidential debate do anything to influence who you will support in ... NBCNews.com  { The following comment is correct. The other aspect is that people are seemingly pathetically ignoring that Os last 4 years have been an abject, utter failure in spectacularly unprecedented fashion. A sad commentary on the state of the nation when such blatantly clear reality is ignored by so many, including those who should know better.} Obama has told no truth in 4 years. He can't wave his hand and ignore sequestration. We need a leader not a liar. Romney is our only choice.

Q3 Earnings Season To Date Summary: Ugly... And Getting Worse   Roughly one third of the S&P has reported earnings so far, with another third reporting in the next five days and almighty AAPL on deck Thursday evening, and if there is one word to describe what has happened so far, that word would be "ugly." The same word would be used to describe how Q4 is shaping up to be. And that word will be very a optimistic prediction of what 2013 will bring unless a major catalyst develops that pushes Congress to resolve the fiscal cliff situation. So far that catalyst is missing. But going back to Q3 earnings, here is how Goldman's David Kostin summarizes events to date: "3Q reporting season is roughly one third finished. Two early conclusions: (1) Information Technology results have been startlingly weak with high-profile revenue disappointments by the four horsemen: MSFT, GOOG, IBM, and ORCL. (2) EPS guidance for 4Q has been overwhelmingly negative across all S&P 500 sectors with 18 of 20 firms lowering 4Q earnings guidance by a median of 5%. Analysts have lowered 4Q EPS estimates for stocks already reported by 0.4%. We expect further EPS cuts of 6% loom ahead. Firms reporting next week: AAPL, T, PG, MRK, CMCSA, AMZN, COP, AMGN, OXY, MO, UTX, MMM, CAT, DD, and FCX." Sorry Bob Pisani, better luck spinning earnings favorably next QE. ,  One World Economic System Kills American Jobs  http://albertpeia.com/oneworldeconsystemkillsamericanjobs.htm  ,  Three Things Investors Dont Know About Europe How To Buy Bullion (What to Ask and What to Own)    The Recipe For Hyperinflation   http://albertpeia.com/europebullionhyperinflation.htm     ,   Monster (Pre-Debate) Ramp Sends Stocks Vertical In last Hour  ZeroHedge.com What can we say? All makes perfect sense: earnings dismal (worse than expected) means BTFD and if there is one lever to do that effectively given the massive over-exposure in every levered fund in the world, its AAPL. A 4% rally in AAPL - which perfectly topped out at Thursday's closing VWAP - was enough to drag stocks comfortably green by the close with a near-vertical ramp in S&P futures just to help things along. Seems like the standard pre-debate rally that we warned about last week - so let's not get too carried away by today's 'all-is-well' rally. Broadly speaking, risk-assets did not dip as hard as stocks and the ramp into the close (which as is typical) pulled stocks back up to 'fair' - but with the inevitable overshoot. While we leave up to our readers to divine the implications of such outlier moves on debate days, our only suggestion for those who have missed their opportunity to buy the central bank policy vehicle, formerly known as the S&P 500, with both hands and feet, is to wait until the next presidential debate and go all in.

According to demographer Joel Kotkin, California has become a two-and-a-half-class society, with a thin slice of "entrenched incumbents" on top (the "half class"), a dwindling middle class of public employees and private-sector professionals/technocrats, and an expanding permanent welfare class: about 40% of Californians don't pay any income tax and a quarter are on the Federal Medicaid program. I would break it down somewhat differently, into a three-and-a-half class society: the "entrenched incumbents" on top (the "half class"), the high-earners who pay most of the taxes (the first class), the working poor who pay Social Security payroll taxes and sales taxes (the second class), and State dependents who pay nothing (the third class). This class structure has political ramifications. In effect, those paying most of the tax are in a pressure cooker: the lid is sealed by the "entrenched incumbents" on top, and the fire beneath is the Central State's insatiable need for more tax revenues to support the entrenched incumbents and its growing army of dependents. Let's start our analysis of the three-and-a-half-class society by noting that the top 25% pay most of the Federal income tax, and within that "middle class" the top 10% pay the lion's share of all taxes.   ,  Another Red (Profit-Taking) Day For Europe  ,  German Court Demands Bundesbank Audit Sovereign Gold Holdings The German court of auditors (Bundesrechnungshof) has demanded that the Bundesbank undertake an audit of its gold reserves.  In an 'audit-the-fed' style effort, the court wants to ensure that the nearly 3400 tons of gold is in fact in existence - 'because stocks have never been checked for authenticity and weight'. Furthermore, the Bundesbank's gold is stored in three other vaults around the world: The Bank of England, The Bank of France, and the US Federal Reserve. The court questions the practice of relying on a written confirmation from the custodians (foreign central banks). The decision means negotiating with the three foreign central banks for physical verification but in anticipation, the Bundesbank has begun the process of shipping 50 tons per year from the Fed back to Germany for the next three years.  ,  Bill Gross Explains The Fed's Bubble "Merry-Go-Round" In One Tweet  ,  Why the EU Crisis Will Be Bigger and Worse Than 2008 Posted by: Phoenix Capital...

10-19-12 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   POOR COMPANY REPORTS CRUSH STOCKS  10-19-12  Were back to square one on the week as far as most major indexes are concerned. But you wouldnt know it by Thursdays and Fridays action. Were also back to the previous matter of light volume rallies and heavy volume selling, meaning distribution. Earnings overall were expected to be weak but corporate revenues werent expected to decline by this much. The litany of disappointments is quite long: (MSFT), (IBM), (INTC), (GOOG), (CMG), (MCD), (GE), (AMD) etc.The normal rotation away from tech to more conservative sectors like financials (XLF), consumer discretionary (XLY), healthcare (XLV) and so forth came to an abrupt end at least on Friday. Better relative performance? Perhaps, but most carbon-based investors could care less about such arcane institutional distinctions. Friday was a get me out day.The dollar (UUP) was stronger which crushed precious metals (GLD) & (SLV) and commodity tracking sectors (DBC) overall, a very ugly day. Stocks had their worst day in four months which is the opposite of the previous weeks headline of best week in five monthswash, rinse and repeat.In the eurozone, EU ministers have an agreement to provide a banking regulatory vehicle. But the details and calendar of doing so are sketchy. The Spanish delay strategy is clearly designed to seek a better set of conditions for a bailout. They dont need one today but will eventually. So the meme going around bullish circles today that the eurozone is fixed is laughable. There isnt much to add as now the FOMC meeting next week is in focus not to mention the election and other potential surprises. The FOMC will make another announcement on Wednesday. They have very few tools left at their disposal except perhaps lowering bank reserve requirements. Cutting interest rates to zero doesnt seem a sensible option. Perhaps even the glamour of the Bernanke/Draghi Put is fading as well.  Another presidential debate then its a sprint to the finish. Given the tightness of the polls, ZH posted the notion of a Gore/Bush type of election outcome which could take us to the fiscal cliff in a political mess. How fun would that be? We had moved a substantial amount of the major index positions from long to cash at the beginning of the week. This seemed dumb by Thursday morning but now seems neither astute nor dumb. So is it a buying opportunity or just a move to the sidelines for now. We choose the latter for now. Trying to make sense of markets especially in this centrally planned economy, can make anyone look foolish.As indicated volume was higher on selling as no doubt many trailing stops were triggered. Breadth per the WSJ was quite negative approaching a 10/90 day…’ ,  Spains Back In Crisis Mode And Will Take The EU Down With It   http://albertpeia.com/spainbackincrisismode.htm  ,   This Is Why, To An Economist, QE Refuses To Work  ZeroHedge.com { A very important point/reference is made here infra regarding the reality of grant (bribe) money which is why academics are, though contraindicated in terms of reality and 4 years of failure, backing obama in lock-step legion. Truly pathetic and indicative of decline! True desperation! } There is practical, everyday common sense... and then there is economics. Because when it comes to explaining why a square peg won't fit into a round hole, only an economist will tell you, over and over, that it will eventually happen, one must just tweak the theory a little first, and then reality will promptly follow. And while even economists have enough of a frontal lobe (and realize there is little grant money) to pursue intractable pegs and hole problems, when it comes to the theory at the heart of their beloved Keynesian voodoo religion, namely Quantitative Easing, the answer is always one, and it is very simple: we need more! Yet even economists are not naive enough to not recognize that QE has not worked in any of its 4 previous iterations (logically, as if it had there would be no need for a fifth, open-ended one). Where it gets fun is watching them come up with amusing yet convoluted, involved and outright demented explanations, some even in chart format, why QE keeps on failing. Below, we present just such a graphic explanation which only an economist could love, or care about.  ,  R(osenberg) & B(ernstein): Two Ex-Merrill Colleagues, Two Opposing Outlooks, One Permabull Rebuttal  Earlier this week two former Merrill colleagues, since separated, were reunited on several media occasions, and allowed to spar over their conflicting views of the world. The two people in question, of course, are Gluskin Sheff's David Rosenberg, best known during the past 3 years for not drinking the propaganda Kool-Aid, and systematically deconstructing every "bullish" macroeconomic datapoint into its far more downbeat constituent parts, and his ebullient ex-coworker, Richard Bernstein, formerly head of equity strategy at a firm that had to be rescued by none other than Bank of America and currently head of RBA advisors, who just happens to be bullish on, well, everything. And since any attempt at holding an intelligent conversation on CNBC is ultimately futile (as can be seen here) and is constantly broken up by both ads, and interjecting anchors and show producers who care far less about facts than keeping the presentation 'engaging' (and going to such lengths to even allow Jim Cramer to have his own TV show), Rosenberg decided to dedicate his entire letter to clients today to "providing a rebuttal" of the slate of reasons why according to Bernstein the "we are on the precipice of a 1982-2000 style of secular market." What follows is one of the most comprehensive "white papers" debunking the bullish view we have seen in a while. Read on.  ,  Goldman's Releases Walkthru "Toolkit" Of How It Will Respond To Second Coming Of Greg Smith's Muppetgate  ,  If The Market's Disconnect With Economic Reality is Over, Watch Out Below  ,  Today's Redbull-Sponsored Market Plunges By Most In 4 Months  ,  Why Rajoy's 'Delay-And-Pray' Strategy Won't Work  ,  This Is The Housing Bubble Beneath The "Recovery"  We want to 'believe', we really do; but anyone with any sense (and no skin in the game) can see through the data; the eon-like periods of foreclosure and the drastically reduced supply. No matter how 'bullish' homebuilders are, or how much they dream of a future pickup, calling the recovery (as Bob Shiller recently noted) is just a fool's errand. The truth is, for the average citizen, housing is not recovering - the wealth effect is not creating animal spirits - and we do indeed have more to fear than fear itself. The following 79 second clip from Bloomberg TV should perhaps clarify the 'difference' in demand for housing. Primary residence 'buyers' are down remarkably, while 'investors' are up dramatically - now at pre-crisis bubble levels! Perhaps, as we noted here, Och-Ziff's stepping away from the 'flip-that-house' or 'REO-to-Rental' game is as good an indicator of exuberance as any.  ,  Spain's Regional Bailout Fund: A Drop In A Bucket Of Insolvency  ,  Bill Gross Warns "Very Likely' Central Banks Will Cause 1987-Like Crash

10-18-12 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   GOOGLE SLIP ROCKS MARKETS 10-18-12 Chinas GDP data fell to 7.4% from 7.6% previously. This caused a rally in Asia in general on ideas of more stimulus which the Chinese have sent mixed messages. One report said they wouldnt be doing any QE like their global peers fearing inflation while others have stated the opposite. China isnt that transparent but neither are we given some of the data U.S. authorities have been issuing.Jobless Claims return to normal after the BLS and DOL realize they screwed up (388K vs 365K & prior revised from 339K to 348K). So a bump of 48K higher in claims even with revisions is the highest in many years. This comes with little explanation with bullish spin from financial media attributed to unnamed technical and/or seasonal considerations. The Philly Fed was positive (5.7 vs .5 expected & prior -1.9). Leading Indicators were unsurprisingly positive (.6% vs .2% & prior -.4%).UBS states there were 3 more incidents of fraudulent trading by employees just now discovered. These banks are too big to manage properly and current risk management capabilities are inept obviously.The dollar (UUP) had a slight uptick while the poorer Chinese economic data caused gold (GLD) prices to drop modestly once again. Chinese gold imports of gold are down but theyre still importing and are large producers of the metal.Oil prices (USO) dropped on supply (2.86 million bbls vs 1.3 million bbls expected) and most commodity markets (DBC) were flat to weaker. Bonds (TLT) were weaker even as stocks were mixed to weaker.Google (GOOG) stole the earnings show Thursday as their earnings report was released early and by accident. The note on the release stated pending Larry meaning it had to be approved first. That person who sent it is now looking for work somewhere like Alta Vista. No matter since the earnings and revenues were terrible unless Larry decides to alter them which he cant. 165 hedge funds and most of Wall Street talking heads are long the stock. They were all over the airways today saying the stock must be bought now, but theyre talking their books clearly. The report is what matters ($9.04 vs $10.65 expected & revenues $11.33 billion vs $11.86 billion) not the release timing. It still remains a great company but at what price and PE? This is what the market will try and sort out.Tech overall has been underperforming (IBM), (AAPL), (GOOG), (XLK), (SMH) and financials (XLF) have been outperforming. Theres a change in leadership if a rally continues favoring the latter. Its important to remember a couple of important issues. With tech you pay a premium (higher PEs) for growth. Should growth falter for any reason PEs get compressed more rapidly since investors didnt get the growth they were paying for. (Note: after the close MSFT missed on both revenues and earnings.)  There has never been a bull market in history without financials either in the mix or leading. Since the 2009 low, financials rallied smartly but over the last 2 years theyve been range bound as doubts going forward have vexed investors. Now they seem at another important resistance area with a chance to move forwarda chance.Volume picked up slightly but still remains on the light side while breadth per the WSJ was mostly negative...

‘…Business Insider's Henry Blodget claiming that "Well, we're glad to say that we've finally gotten to the bottom of what happened" and that the state in question is none other than California (supposedly as opposed to Illinois to shut up those wacky conspiracy theorists). Turns out the site known best for its slideshow presentations (which will soon double down as advertisements) may have once again fibbed just a little, following an official demand by none other than California state Employment Development Department direct, Pam Harris (the typical lying nigger), that BI retract its article. To wit: "Reports that California failed to fully report data to the U.S. Department of Labor, as required, are incorrect and irresponsible... It’s unfortunate this ‘reporter’ and others who repeated the article’s erroneous statements chose to speculate rather than report, failing to confirm this information with EDD." Sure enough, the 'reporter' in question replied, and it appears that Business Insider is better informed than California when it comes to matters such as these, and has refused to retract…’

Or, are americans going to cower in fear of the nigger threats and prove to the world they are but cowards of a failed nation. }

{ Ah, yes, says the optimist who sees the opportunity in every calamity and not vice versa. Indeed, President Romneys election based upon american peoples survival instincts and an awakening from the wobama b***s*** slumber of decline will provide the opportunity to incarcerate the niggers who will use such as an excuse to do what theyre inclined/predisposed to do anyway, and in one lawless form or another, are already doing. Prison or sub-saharan Africa are the only places suitable for niggers.

Philly Fed Beats Even As Core Components Deteriorate

The ridiculous economic data continues. Those looking at the headline Philly Fed, which jumped from -1.9 to 5.7, trouncing expectations of 1.0, such as the NY Fed's Simon Potter are pushing buy buttons left and right. And yet anyone who takes the 2 minutes to look at the internals, such as the collapse in the Number of Employees Sub-Index, which tumbled from -7.3 to -10.7 (the lowest since September 2009), the decline in the Average Employee Workweek, or the surge in Prices Paid from 8 to 19, double the change in Prices Received which means plunging corporate profits, or the ever critical New Orders which declined from 1.0 to -0.6, and one can see why this is a report only an Econ Ph.D-cum-Central Planner can love. Finally adding insult to injury, is the 6 month forecast, which unlike all other regional Fed diffusion indices, collapsed by half, from 41.2 to 21.6, as the Hopium at least in the city of brotherly mugging appears to be running out. Stocks kneejerk in every possible direction hoping the Fed will provide a direction.

To Promote The Great European Socialist Revolution, France's Hollande Will Ban Homework

Homework favors the wealthy. This is the position that the increasingly imbecilic President of France is taking in proposing a ban on homework as part of a series of educational reforms. As ABC reports, Hollande sees "education as a priority" but work should be done during school hours rather than at home "in order to establish equal opportunities." But before the children of France rejoice, Hollande is unlikely to garner their future votes, as his proposal also looks to extend the French school week to nine half-days a week to be spread over four, five, or six days (as opposed to the current four days a week with Wednesdays off). Though we may sneer at this oh-so-socialist ideal of 'sharing' the homework load into the school-day, it is perhaps noteworthy that the US still lags France in Math (US 31st in the world vs France 22nd).

 

 

Reality Storms Back As Initial Claims Explode Higher By 46K From Last Week's Upward Revised Aberration

 

So much for last week's aberration initial claims print of 339K (revised higher of course to 342K). With expectations of an increase to 365K, the DOL just came out with a whopper of a miss, the largest in three months, at 388K, an increase of 46K in one week, which was also the highest print in three months. Remember: this number will be revised to 391K next week. So much for single print indicative of a recovery. As the chart below shows, the rate of change was a 13.45% from last week: the highest in five years! So far, there has been no explanation from the BLS or DOL for last week's outlier print. And no, last week's print was not due to  California, which the DOL reported just decreased by 4,979 in the week ended Oct 6, not the required 49K. What is however worse, is that it is becoming increasingly clear that nobody at the DOL knows what is actually going on following a statement by the Labor Dept that "it appeared that state-level administrative issues were distorting the data", and numbers are simply picked out of thin air. Finally, in truly amusing news, those on Extended Benefits have once again started to rise, after dropping to virtually 0 following expiration of state benefits.

10-17-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com    MARKETS DIGEST EARNINGS & EUROZONE 10-17-12  Another short post as I have my usual seasonal bug, which with meds, renders me weak. Moving on we see Housing Starts increasing by 15% which makes me wonder, do we need more inventory? But realtors like to tell me people want new versus older homes. I can understand this but many older homes are still selling way below their replacement costs.The old game with earnings reports is still ubiquitouscompanies and analysts lower expectations sharply then reports beat and relevant stocks rise. Theres also little new with accounting gimmicks and adjustments. Bank of America (BAC) is still writing down its Countrywide assets so net of that the company beat lowered estimates. With the combination of adjustments and lowered expectations the company beat by reporting flat earnings vs a small loss. IBM on the other hand missed on revenues which saw the stock much weaker. As a heavyweight in the price-weighted DJIA the headline index was somewhat weaker but ex-IBM was probably much higher. Intel (INTC) beat earnings expectations as well but forecast weaker growth going forward and the stock declined. Most importantly is most revenues are declining as American Express (AXP) just reported earnings that matched expectations but revenues missed and declined.Leading markets higher were financials (XLF), energy (XLE) and homebuilders (ITB). The dollar (UUP) was much weaker while precious metals (GDL & SLV) were only slightly higher. Bonds (TLT) were weaker while commodities (DBC) and oil (USO) struggled to maintain unchanged levels.Overseas markets were cheered by some partial agreements with Spain (EWP) which makes me think current baby steps will see us revisit the situation again and again.Volume on Wednesday was once again ultra-light and breadth per the WSJ was positive overall…’  ,  Two Facts You Need to Know Before November 6th  http://albertpeia.com/twofacts.htm  ,  Taxpayers To Recover $0 On Solyndra  ,  Chinese Goldilocks GDP: Q3 Economy Goalseeked Just As Expected At 7.4%    ,   'Shadow Banking' In China The process was a cornerstone of the governments control over the economy.  The vast majority of banks in China are controlled by the government, so the who and when of lending was firmly in the hands of Chinas leaders. But, the years 2008/9 will be remembered as watershed years for Chinese finance, as two trends appeared an economy relying increasingly on debt creation for growth, and that debt creation becoming more and more complicated and obscure - making it is easy to see why so many officials and analysts are worried about the 'hazy and complicated area of finance' out of teh government's direct control.   ,  Bank Of America Gimmicks Continue - Chargeoffs Soar To Highest In A Year, As Loan Loss Release Surges   ,   Och-Ziff Calls Top Of "REO-To-Rental", And Distressed Housing Demand, With Exit Of Landlord Business  The primary, if not only, reason there has been a brief spike in subsidized demand for housing in recent months, has been the GSE/FHFA endorsed REO-To-Rental plan, and associated securitization conduits, in which large asset managers have been encouraged to take advantage of government funded, risk-free financing (and entirely bypassing banks who have given up on loan origination due to legacy liability issues which have every bank tied up in litigation from now until Feddom come - just see today's Bank of America results) and purchase foreclosed properties in bulk, with the intention of converting them into rental properties. Needless to say, the subsidization of this wholesale purchasing of foreclosures, coupled with the ongoing "foreclosure stuffing" pursued by the big banks (as a reminder days to foreclose in California just hit a record 1,072 per RealtyTrac as banks simply refuse to clear housing inventory faster knowing full well withheld inventory is an additional clearing price subsidy) is the main reason why the punditry has been confused into believing there is a housing rebound. That this "rebound" is merely a subsidized demand pull phenomenon a la the "cash for clunkers" auto sales program is patently clear to most. Nonetheless what little confusion is left, is finally coming to an end, thanks to none other than one of the first entrants in the REO-To-Rental space, $31 billion hedge fund Och Ziff, which a year after entering the program with hopes of quick riches, is now looking to cash out.  ,  Guest Post: Housing Starts And Permits: Euphoria May Be Premature  This morning's New Home Starts and Building Permits was called by some 'The Most Bullish Development On The Entire Earth'. That is indeed a very bullish statement about a sector of the economy that is still running at very recessionary levels of activity. However, let's analyze the data beyond the headline to determine what is really occurring. Among the various 'surprises' are seasonal adjustments, as we saw with the retail sales, were exceptionally large in September; the underlying fundamentals, especially in the 25-35 cohorts, are simply not in place to create a sustainable upturn in housing; and the disconnect between the housing data and the real demand for construction workers. The current activity falls well within the bounds of normal volatility, and we will likely see revisions lower in the coming months ahead, as seasonal variations began to negatively impact the data towards year end. The important point, however, is that while the housing data on the surface is showing improvement the more important components to sustainability from employment to lending are not.

 

Peak P/E?There is little doubt that asset prices have responded to Central Bank promises and actions. Even as bottom-up fundamentals are fading, top-down index 'nominal prices' rise on the back of magical multiple expansion - which is defended from on high by sell-side strategists the world over on the back of 'recovery' is just around the corner. The trouble is there's a limit and it seems - from QE2 and LTRO - that we are rapidly approaching that limit; and with earnings outlooks being revised lower, perhaps we are at peak P/E for this cycle of QE?

Debate Post-Mortem: Jobs-4-Jeremy, Gang Bangers, And Candi(e)d Fact Checking

Well, who knew it was gonna actually get close to fisty-cuffs? According to CNN Polls, 65% believe Obama won (with 50% saying by a lot) and 19% that Romney won by a lot. Obama dominated speaking time 44:05 to a mere 40:50 for Romney (almost the same margin as in the last debate); but Romney (somewhat ironically) crushed Obama in the drinking game 44:23. Obama Intrade Odds wavered during the debate ending marginally higher but S&P 500 futures are tracking lower. Twitter interest fell 30% from the first debate. Full Bloomberg Headlines and Top Ten Debate Lines below. Obama uttered a brisk 7651 words for a 173 word/min pace (172 last debate) while Romney's 8006 words  were spoken at a 196 word/min pace (slower than his 217 pace of the last debate) but still the winner. So, time: Obama, drinking-game: Romney, word-count: Romney - the winner of tonight's debate is Mitt Romney.

10-16-12  The Last Days Of America? 25 Signs Of Extreme Social Decay   http://albertpeia.com/lastdaysofamerica.htm   ,   Waiting On November 6th   http://albertpeia.com/waitingforgodoe.htm  ,  Why Intel Better Not Be Economic Bellwether This Time Around  ZeroHedge.com  For those who missed it earlier, Intel reported results that were just slightly better than expected, and yet the stock tumbled over 3% after hours. The reason is because despite a weak quarter which had been pre-guided down by the sellside community every so effectively, the semiconductor manufacturer saw even more weakness in Q4. Those who wish to read the details can do so here. For everyone else who is more of a visual learning bent, we present the following chart which shows the year-over-year change in Intel revenue, which shows that for the first time in 12 quarters, INTC reported a decline in annual revenue. Furthermore, there is virtually no question that Q4 will also see a revenue decline: the only question is whether it will be greater than Q3's 5.5% Y/Y drop.  ,  Destroying The Myths Of Bernanke's Brave New World Of QEtc.  Entering the final quarter of the year, Lacy Hunt and Van Hoisington (H&H) describe domestic and global economic conditions as extremely fragile. New government initiatives have been announced, particularly by central banks, in an attempt to counteract deteriorating economic conditions. These latest programs in the U.S. and Europe are similar to previous efforts. While prices for risk assets have improved, governments have not been able to address underlying debt imbalances. Thus, nothing suggests that these latest actions do anything to change the extreme over-indebtedness of major global economies. To avoid recession in the U.S., the Federal Reserve embarked on open-ended quantitative easing (QE3). Importantly, in their view, the enactment of QE3 is a tacit admission by the Fed that earlier efforts failed, but this action will also fail to bring about stronger economic growth. H&H go on to break down every branch that Bernanke rests his QE hat on from the Fed's inability to create demand, to the de minimus wealth effect, and most importantly the numerous unintended consequences of the Fed's actions.  ,  Hours Ahead Of The Presidential Debate, Total US Debt Hits Record $16.19 Trillion  ,  Stocks See Biggest 2-Day Gain In 5 Weeks On...Denied Rumors?  UPDATE: IBM -3% after-hours (equiv. 50 Dow Points) Citi was the headline-maker of the day and is now (somehow) up 12.4% from QEtc. AAPL's low average-trade-size but reasonable volume rip (+2.3%) just failed to fill the gap-down from 10/5 but provided just the excuse the market needed to rip on a debate-day. Tech remains the only sector in the red post-QEtc. The last two days we have seen the same pattern play out as in the last few weeks, a plunge-plunge-linear-ramp with the opposite scale on volume during these moves. Today's equity market levitation was predicated on rumors of a pending credit line with Spain - which was denied by everyone involved but by then correlations were high and momentum was in charge. FX markets are highly dispersed with JPY weakness and EUR strength leaving the USD -0.44% on the week. Commodities recovered a little on the day with Oil/Copper +0.25% on the week and gold/silver still lagging. Treasuries bear-steepened with 30Y +8.5bps. VIX dropped marginally to 15.22%. Credit was dead after Europe closed, underperforming equities push.  ,  As Coke Goes, So Goes 20% Of The Greek Stock Market (Which Is Now Smaller Than Vietnam's)   ,  Confusion Reigns In Europe  ,  The Curious Case Of Debate-Day Stock Market Surges  In addition to the mysterious volley of recent economic data points that have blown even the most optimistic expectations out of the water, it is perhaps notable that not only is the economy in agreement with the status quo in the month before the election, but so is the market, and as can be seen below, on presidential (and vice) debate days, the market has posted some truly six sigma returns. For the month of October, the S&P 500 futures have risen a cumulative 20 points on the days of the debate; and fallen a cumulative 4.75pts on the non-debate days. Forget needing moar QE, we need moar debates! While we leave up to our readers to divine the implications of such outlier moves on debate days, our only suggestion for those who have missed their opportunity to buy the central bank policy vehicle, formerly known as the S&P 500, with both hands and feet, is to wait until the next presidential debate and go all in. After all, "it's only fair" that the market will soar hours ahead of the two teleprompter-less candidates debating highly irrelevant stuff.  ,  Why A Balanced Budget Is Impossible In America  If the US government cut all government services except Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and interest payments, federal spending would still outpace revenues. As we noted here, these four mandatory items dominate costs. All the arguing over sequestration and the fiscal cliff are moot since as Professor Antony Davis notes in this brief clip, there are no specific cust that will enable government to balance the budget; in fact "nothing less than a complete redesign will solve the problem." That redesign begins with determing the proper role of government.

 

Guest Post: The Future of America Is Japan: Stagnation  Japan's economy has stagnated for two decades despite the global economy experiencing one of its greatest economic booms ever. Japan continues to avoid fiscal or financial crisis, and perhaps it can do so for decades to come. But we should note that Japan has had the incredible, once-in-a-lifetime tailwind of a global boom for the past 23 years. That has enabled Japan, and all the other developed economies, the means to avoid facing their structural and demographic problems. If Japan's economy has stagnated during a global boom, what will it do during a global bust? Japan's stable stagnation will continue in a linear fashion--until it doesn't.

 

 

China Continues To Boycott Treasurys As Japan Prepares To Become Largest Foreign Holder Of US Paper  Where there were notable developments in today's TIC report, was in the composition of buyers of US paper, which showed that for yet another month, there has been virtually no buying interest in US paper by the biggest non-Fed holder: China, whose total TSY holdings were $1,154 billion, down $12 billion since the beginning of the year, and down a whopping $125 billion from a year ago. Ironically that other massively indebted country, Japan, which has Y1 quadrillion in its own public debt to deal with, for a debt/GDP ratio will above 200%, continues to load up on US paper, as the biggest paper ponzi scheme continues going ever higher and nothing possibly can get in the way. In fact, as the chart below shows, the difference between total Chinese and Japanese holdings has declined to a record low $32 billion, and will likely see Japan surpass China as the biggest holder of US paper very soon. 

 

 

10-15-12 Daves Daily:  http://www.etfdigest.com   CHUCKY THE CONSUMER IS BULLISH  10-15-12  The bad news is good and good news is better theme was once present again Monday. The good news was from Retail Sales were higher (1.1% vs expected .9%) and previous data for July and August were also revised higher. Gains were from autos, gasoline and electronics (iPhones?). The U.S. consumer loves their cars and gadgets. Theres a lot of peer pressure for the I got to have it crowd and auto companies are self-financing now even featuring sub-prime lending. Consumers are buying more inefficient vehicles even as gas prices climb. They want their guzzlers but rage at the gas prices which is odd. Also Citigroup (C) reported earnings which were better than expected ($1.06 vs $.98). This was based in large part on an increase in bond trading revenue. Since QE3 is just underway perhaps the build in MBS and other Treasury bond trading was building to feast on Fed buying. The company is also going to divest itself of Smith-Barney and cut more jobs. The bad news was from a still weak Empire State Mfg Survey (-6.16 vs -3 expected & prior -10.41) so the beat goes on there. Curiously Fed Governor Bullard, currently a non-voting FOMC member and previous QE advocate, fretted Monday that QE was hurting savers. Who knew?!? Over the weekend China reported more moderate inflation data but there was also an article from Xinhua and featured in Reuters indicating the Chinese arent interested in QE. Remember, unlike the U.S. the Chinese report gross inflation data skipping the weird core rate weve come to expect from the BLS. Stocks started the trading day rather tentative given the more positive news and then jumped later as investors seized on the risk on environment. Stocks clearly were led higher by financials (XLF), healthcare (XLV) and a homebuilders bounce (ITB) while bonds (TLT) were weaker. The dollar (UUP) was firm while precious metals (GLD & SLV) declined sharply. The latter was occasioned by no doubt premature thoughts better economic data might cause the Fed to slow its money printing agenda. This while supply constraints given the long South African miners strike continues. Nevertheless the sector was weak and trailing stops were hit. Commodities (DBC) overall were weak led lower by base metals (JJC) and oil (USO). Volume was once again a light affair while breadth per the WSJ was positive…’  ,  21 Signs That The Global Economic Crisis Is About To Go To A Whole New Level   http://albertpeia.com/21signsglobaleconomiccrisisabouttogetmuchworse.htm   ,   Greece Is Not Poor - It Actually Has Massive Uptapped Reserves Of Gold, Oil And Natural Gas  http://albertpeia.com/greeceyuntappedwealth.htm  ,  US Households Are Not "Deleveraging" - They Are Simply Defaulting In Bulk  ZeroHedge.com  Lately there has been an amusing and very spurious, not to mention wrong, argument among both the "serious media" and the various tabloids, that US households have delevered to the tune of $1 trillion, primarily as a result of mortgage debt reductions (not to be confused with total consumer debt which month after month hits new record highs, primarily due to soaring student and GM auto loans). The implication here is that unlike in year past, US households are finally doing the responsible thing and are actively deleveraging of their own free will. This couldn't be further from the truth, and to put baseless rumors of this nature to rest once and for all, below we have compiled a simple chart using the NY Fed's own data, showing the total change in mortgage debt, and what portion of it is due to discharges (aka defaults) of 1st and 2nd lien debt. In a nutshell: based on NYFed calculations, there has been $800 billion in mortgage debt deleveraging since the end of 2007. This has been due to $1.2 trillion in discharges (the amount is greater than the total first lien mortgages, due to the increasing use of HELOCs and 2nd lien mortgages before the housing bubble popped).  ,  Market Thoughts From David Rosenberg  "The consensus view was that QE3 was going to send the stock market to the moon. Yet the peak level on the S&P 500 was 1,465 on September 14th, the day after the FOMC meeting. The consensus view was that the lagging hedge funds were going to be forced to play some major catch-up and take the stock market to the moon too. Surveys show that the hedge funds have already made this adjustment...Q3 EPS estimates are still coming down and now stand at -3% YoY from -2% at the start of October....this is the first time the Fed embarked on a nonconventional easing initiative with the market overbought and with profits and earning expectations on a discernible downtrend. Not only that, but the fact the pace of U.S. economic activity is still running below a 2% annual rate, which is less than half of what is normal at this stage of the business cycle with the massive amount of government stimulus, is truly remarkable. Keep an eye on the debt ceiling being re-tested the cap is $16.394 trillion and we are now at $16.119 trillion. This is likely to make the headlines again before year-end the rating agencies may not be taking off much time for a Christmas break."  ,  US CEOs Opine On America's Debt And The Fiscal Cliff  ,  NYSE Short Interest Drops To 5 Month Low  { Though somewhat counter-intuitive, this is actually a bearish indicator. } One place where the S&P level still does have a modest influence is the number of shorts in the market, which are strategically used by repo desks and custodians (State Street and BoNY), to force wholesale short squeezes at given inflection points, usually just when the bottom is about to drop out. The problem is that even short squeezes are increasingly becoming fewer and far between, for the simple reason that the Fed has managed to nearly anihilate shorters as a trading class with its policy   ,   Jeff Macke On Citi's Earnings: "These Numbers mean NO-THING"   ,  Timberrrrr!...

The Japanese State, partly because they seem to believe in the Cargo Cult, and partly to avoid exposing the insolvency of their crony-capitalist financial sector, has been borrowing and spending money on a vast scale for two decades. Rather than face the fraud and corruption at the heart of American (and Japanese) finance and governance, the Keynesians just want to leave the predatory, parasitic crony-capitalist Status Quo intact and create an illusory world of bogus "demand" and grotesque malinvestment funded by ever-increasing debt.

After all the $4.7 billion seasonal increase in headline retail sales was the second highest ever (in absolute terms, second only to 2004). Turns out our curiosity was an enthusiasm-dowsing mistake, as a number which on the surface looked good, was hardly validated by the Not-Seasonally Adjusted number, which plunged by $31.9 billion. How does this September sequential change compare to previous years? See the chart below and decide for yourselves if the massive NSA plunge in September 2012 merits the second best seasonally adjusted retail sales increase in history.

 

 

 Retail Sales Beat Expectations, As Empire Index Misses, Negative For Third Month In A Row

 

The economic data twofer this morning was a beat and a miss. Retail sales increased by 1.1% on expectations of a 0.8% increase, with the last month's data being revised from 1.2% to 0.9%. Headline retail sales, ex autos was up 1.1% on expectations of a 0.7% print, and up from an upward revised 1.0%. Some of the main drivers in the September retail sales pick up were in electronics and appliance stores, which rose 4.5% from August (thank you iPhone 5), Gasoline Stations +2.5%, and Motor vehicle and parts dealers 1.3%, which continue to be a notable driver of retail strength for the second month in a row. As for the miss, it came from the Empire Fed, which increased from September's -10.41, to -6.16, but missed expectations of a -4 print. New Orders improved modestly from -14.03 to -8.97, and ironically was the only subindex in the entire report that staged an increase. Shipments declined to a negative print, from 2.75 to -6.40. Declines were also recorded in Delivery Times, Unfilled Orders, Inventories, Prices Paid, Prices Received, the average Employee Workweek, and most importantly, Number of Employees which declined from 4.26 to -1.08. Not even the forward looking indicators, so critical to consumer "confidence" managed to rise, dropping from 27.22 to 19.42.

10-12-12  Daves Daily:  http://www.etfdigest.com  OCTOBER DATA REMAINS QUESTIONED 10-12-12 Its hard to accept a lot of the data being released lately. Once trust in the data is lost investors will sour on releases for a longer period than you might expect. This began last week Friday with the release of the employment report. Yes, Jack Welch jumped on it as not credible and political. He was dismissed as an old crank. But the data still remained counterintuitive to most. Then came Jobless Claims Thursday recklessly released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) when it was incomplete. Away from the BLS Friday was the U of Michigan Consumer Sentiment report which showed a spectacular and historical beat of estimates (83.1 vs 78.3 expected & prior 78.3). This is also weird since the number one thing commonly affecting consumers are energy prices which are historically high. It might be that households think current WH occupants will change in the future. Is that a reasonable conclusion? Its the only thing I can think of frankly.Friday the BLS was once again in the picture releasing the Producer Price Index which was still higher (1.1% vs .8% expected & prior 1.7%). But wait, what the BLS and officialdom wants you to pay attention to are the so-called core rates. For this data point ex-food and energy there was no inflation (0% vs .2% expected & prior .2%). So headline writers (MarketWatch: PPI Confirms Feds No-Inflation View) and Fed governors can tell people there is no inflation and what exists is dismissed as transitory. Monday will feature the Consumer Price Index including the headline number and core rate again. Lets remember these data points have been massaged and altered over since 1980 several times to get the data to a point where entitlement payments by the government to recipients are more manageable. This is quite silly and there is a lot of trickery in the entire process. For example, while TVs, autos and Nike Lebron specials may cost more today, the BLS asserts youre getting more for your money ergo no inflation. So when you growl over prices at the supermarket or gas pump do you feel thankful that the core rate is deemed too volatile to be credible even though you consume this stuff every day? I thought not.J.P. Morgan (JPM) delivered good earnings that beat expectations ($1.40 vs $1.21) and Jamie Dimon asserted to all that the housing market has now turned the corner. Wells Fargo (WFC) followed with earnings ($.88 vs $.87 estimated) after adjustments. The bottom line is both stocks fell on the day.Stocks just cant seem to keep the bullish trend going as October unfolds. Most indexes were down 2-3% on the week posting their worst week in 5 months. Concerns about Spain once again surfaced about if and when a bailout would be requested also weighed on stock prices. The other day some had wondered if Spain would opt-out of the euro and move back to the peseta which sounds seductive but actually isnt. Who would then buy their bonds? Is there a lack of trust in government data building? Perhaps. It may also be due to the previous narrative that Obama would be reelected which seemed bullish for some reason. Now a possible Romney election means more uncertainty given bulls knew what they had with him. With either person winning the so-called fiscal cliff looms. And, I admit this is all speculative on my part.The dollar (UUP) was slightly weaker but gold (GLD) was much weaker. As indicated stocks couldnt get out of their own way and were led lower by banks (KBE), financials (XLF), homebuilders (ITB), semiconductors (SMH) and miners (GDX). Bonds (IEF) were firm and commodities (DBC) overall were weaker.

Therefore, what is counted as growth, is actually price increases. Actual inflation..is now more than 11%. Using that to adjust GDP for inflation, would show that the economy is now in a very sharp contraction…’)  }   But this isn't necessarily true. Notice that GDP never went below the zero line in the 2001 recession. Dipping close to zero was good enough. The more interesting line is our composite of economic activity.

Well that will do it. So an early rally based on incomplete information was undone as the day wore on. So the result was wasted buying power from my view.

Jack Welch: I Was Right About That Strange Jobs Report

WSJ | The 7.8% unemployment figure released by the BLS last week is downright implausible.

{ How pathetic, desperate, corrupt and dishonest is the wobama et als latest manipulation 10-11-12  Kass: " Labor Dept said one large state didnt report additional quarterly figures as expected, accounting for a substantial part of the decrease." }

http://ransquawk.com News Headline Summary

Several factors have been attributed to the lower than expected US initial jobless claims number, including the following:

- The US Labor market noted that one state accounted for the entire drop.
- It is the first week of the quarter which historically adds volatility, especially with expectations of a seasonal adjustment.
- Extended benefits rose (+13,802) in the latest week due to the state of NY returning to the program starting Sept 9th.

Update details:

- Although initial upside was seen in US stock futures, most of the move has since been pared as attention paid to these factors.

A Dash Of Hair Transplant And Just Add Laughter  ZeroHedge.com  We always said that the presidential race in a country in which 40% of spending on wars, entitlements, interest on said debt, etc. is funded by debt (purchased mostly by foreigners and monetized by the Fed), is moot, and is merely one big tragicomedy designed to evoke nothing but laughter (especially since it is the creditors who call the shots). Today, we see that at least Joe Biden got the memo.  ,  We Are On The Road To Serfdom  We are now five years into the Great Fiat Money Endgame and our freedom is increasingly under attack from the state, libertys eternal enemy. It is true that by any realistic measure most states today are heading for bankruptcy. But it would be wrong to assume that austerity policies must now lead to a diminishing of government influence and a shrinking of state power. The opposite is true: the state asserts itself more forcefully in the economy, and the political class feels licensed by the crisis to abandon whatever restraint it may have adhered to in the past. Ever more prices in financial markets are manipulated by the central banks, either directly or indirectly; and through legislation, regulation, and taxation the state takes more control of the employment of scarce means. An anti-wealth rhetoric is seeping back into political discourse everywhere and is setting the stage for more confiscation of wealth and income in the future. This will end badly.  ,  Debate Post-Mortem: Wreckin' Raddatz, Laughin' Angry-Boy Biden, And Vice President Ryan   ,  Visualizing America's Education  ,  The Forecasting Folly Of Equity Valuations And Earnings Growth  ,  Fed's "Other Assets" Hit All Time High Of $205 Billion   ,  Guest Post: Trade Deficit - Recession Risks Increase  ,  Do 20% Of Firms Cheat On Earnings? ‘…To wit, Bloomberg notes a recent paper (below) that finds 20% of CFOs will "manage earnings to misrepresent economic performance" with 93.5% admitting it is to influence the stock price.

In other words a traditional inventory removal-based subsidy. It is therefore not surprising that today RealtyTrac reported the latest foreclosure data, and lo and behold, just as we expected, the great foreclosure collapse has taken another leg lower, with the total number of foreclosures for the month of September sliding to 180.4K, a decrease of 7 percent from the previous month and down 16 percent from September 2011, and the lowest in five years!

 

 

S&P Will Downgrade France And Italy Next, CDS Implies

With government bond markets increasingly manipulated directly via central-bank intervention - and becoming increasingly illiquid - the odd situation we find ourselves in once again is that CDS markets perhaps provide a 'cleaner' picture of where credit risk is actually being traded between market participants (hedgers or speculators). To wit, Bloomberg's ever-insightful Michael McDonough has noticed a significant divergence between market-implied perceptions of risk (CDS) and ratings-agencies perceptions among several nations. Most notably France and Italy (with Belgium close behind) appear considerably 'over-rated'. Italy's implied rating is equivalent to BB+ at S&P - well below its average rating of BBB+ and France's implied rating of A is around four notches below its composite rating. Spain also appears set for more pain as its market price implies a sub-investment grade rating is imminent.

 

 

Data Massaging Continues: Initial Claims Tumble To 339K Lowest Since 2008, Far Below Lowest Expectation

This is just getting stupid. After expectations of a rebound in initial claims from 367K last week (naturally revised higher to 369K), to 370K (with the lowest of all sellside expectations at 355K), the past week mysteriously, yet so very unsurprisingly in the aftermath of the fudged BLS unemployment number, saw claims tumble to a number that is so ridiculous not even CNBC's Steve Liesman bothered defending it, or 339K. Ironically, not even the Labor Department is defending it: it said that "one large state didn't report some quarterly figures." Great, but what was reported was a headline grabbing number that is just stunning for reelection purposes. This was the lowest number since 2008. The only point to have this print? For 2-3 bulletin talking points at the Vice Presidential debate tonight. Everything else is now noise. It is also sad that the US "economy" has devolved to such trivial data fudging on a week by week basis, which makes even the Chinese Department of Truth appear amateurish by comparison. Needless to say, Not Seasonally Adjusted initial claims jumped by 26K to 327K in the past week but who's counting. Finally, what is the reason for ongoing QEternity if the employment situation is now back to normal. Finally, in completely ignored news, because who needs global trade when you have toner cartridge, and generally ink, the US trade deficit in August rose by 4.1% to $44.2 billion, on expectations of a deterioration to $44.0 billion. Then again nobody talks about the US trade deficit during presidential debates so all good here.

 

 

 

 

 

10-10-12  Dave’s Daily:  http://www.etfdigest.com    ‘OCTOBER REMAINS A TOUGH MONTH 10-10-12 The IMF was active once again Wednesday this time telling eurozone banks it must divest themselves of $4.5 trillion (with a “T”) of assets over the next 12 months. Note to central banks: “You’re gonna need a bigger printing press.” That comment heaped atop previous advisories didn’t help markets Wednesday.The Fed’s Beige Book was released at 2 PM and it offered little news beyond what we already knew.

Chevron (CVX) earnings missed occasioned by Hurricane Isaac production stoppages. Tech continued to remain weak with semi’s like Intel (INTC) leading the sector (SOXX) lower. But all wasn’t lost as Yum Brands (YUM) earnings rose, Wal-Mart (WMT) stated it would open more small-scale stores and Costco (COST) reported good earnings.

Food Inflation To Surge, Goldman Warns  ZeroHedge.com  We have been very active in our discussions of the impact of the pending rise in food prices around the world (from central bank largesse to weather-related chaos). As Goldman notes, food inflation has been one of the most significant sources of headline inflation variation in emerging markets (EM) over the past few years. Since June, international prices for agricultural commodities have risen almost 30%, increasing the risk of fresh, food-related increases to EM headline inflation. We, like Goldman, expect EM headline inflation to start to reflect the relevant pressures more broadly in the October prints at the latest. While the effects, for now, are expected to be less extreme than the 2010-2011 episode, the timing as the US enters its fiscal-cliff-prone malaise, could mean a further round of easing will reignite this critical inflationary concern.  ,  UPDATE:*JPMORGAN CFO EXPECTED TO STEP DOWN: WSJ  Jamie "The Europeans have the will, but no way; The US has the way, but no will."

10-9-12  Daves Daily:  http://www.etfdigest.com  BRING OUT THE BEARS 10-9-12 successive reports from the World Bank (Monday) and IMF (Tuesday) that global economic growth was going to decline. This isnt really news now is it? Just about every forecasting organization has stated this as a given. But in the absence of other news investors needed an excuse to do some selling.Ill bet youre like most people and dont really understand the distinction between these two entities. Per the IMF is this brief description:The World Bank and the IMF remain distinct. The fundamental difference is this: the Bank is primarily a development institution; the IMF is a cooperative institution that seeks to maintain an orderly system of payments and receipts between nations. Each has a different purpose, a distinct structure, receives its funding from different sources, assists different categories of members, and strives to achieve distinct goals through methods peculiar to itself.Got that? They have occupied the same building, held joint conferences, share a common library exchange economic data, present joint seminars, daily hold informal meetings and may send out joint missions to member countries. They are funded by a variety of member countries (you and me in particular) and often make money on lending. Since their lending activity dried-up in 2009 they sold 212 tons of gold (with the consent on the U.S. Congress) to other central banks to keep the organization funded and everyone employed. (A good deal? Not!) In other words theyre similar to the UN formed during the post WWII era and just about as effective. They probably have outlived their usefulness but once you get these organizations started its an exercise in futility to eliminate them. Why do you think so many luminaries from around the globe want top jobs there? Theyre lucrative and terrific benefits including jets and 5 star hotels.Meanwhile in other news the U.S. government has sued Wells Fargo (WFC) claiming fraud in mortgage underwriting and falsely certifying FHA loans. That was felt in Omaha and on Wall Street. I guess Buffett didnt get a heads-up from the White House. Oil prices (USO) rallied even as the dollar (UUP) climbed which is unusual. Perhaps these are tensions being exhibited from the Middle East. Prior to the first Gulf War oil prices were climbing out of a long trading range a few weeks before the Iraq invasion of Kuwait. Obviously some players knew what was about to happen in advance. Lets see whats up now. Aside from oil most commodity prices were weaker (DBB) & (GLD) while the heavily weighted energy sector (DBC) was higher. Also a story is making the rounds that Spain could or even should just opt out of the euro in lieu of accepting harsh conditions from the troika.Stocks overall sank led by technology (QQQ) & (XLK) once again as Apple (AAPL) continued its slide but Intel (INTC) and semis overall (SOXX) led the way down. Also much weaker were homebuilders (ITB) which needed some consolidation. The confusion in markets threw-off other relationships such as weaker bonds and weaker stocks. After the close Alcoa (AA) released earnings which are always highly anticipated but have more complexity and adjustments than even the BLS can conjure up. The report just released showed a loss of 13 cents vs previous 15 cent profit. Revenues were lower at $5.83 billion vs $6.42 billion prior but beat estimates of $5.56 billion. Adjusted earnings 3 cents vs 0 cents expected. Oh the joy! Volume overall was much heavier than on recent days but still light overall.

Jared Bernstein and Christy Romer Administration predictions have been an unmitigated disaster. Not only did the real figures not match up to the advertised ones, but they are also much worse than the baseline expectations. Romer and Bernstein appear to have both severely under-estimated the depth of the crisis, and over-estimated the effectiveness of the stimulus package. Obama might talk about spreading the wealth around, but the aggregate effect of the policies pursued during his administration have squarely benefited large corporations and the financial sector, and not the middle class or small business. Is reinflating financial bubbles and pumping up corporate profits Obamas idea of recovery? The money isnt trickling down, and small businesses and the middle class are more in debt than they were before the crisis started.  ,  European Banks Need To Sell Up $4.5 Trillion In Assets In Next 14 Months, IMF Warns  While yesterday it was the sovereigns who suffered the wrath of the IMF's wholesale growth outlook downgrade (unbeknownst to Christine Lagarde), today it is the turn of the financial sector (which is increasingly being blurred with the former in a world in which central banks are used to both backstop bank liabilities and fund endless public deficits, unafraid of the consequences in a closed loop fiat world in which defection is, so far, impossible) to be greeted by a cold dose of reality emanating from the IMF's "Global Financial Stability Report" especially as pertains to Europe's insolvent banking system. The most notable finding of said report is the admission that the IMF was only kidding when it said six months ago, in April of this year, that the worst case outlook now has European banks deleveraging to the tune of $3.8 trillion through the end of 2013, or over the next 14 months: now this number is 18% higher, or a gargantuan $4.5 trillion (12% of bank assets). This is how much debt Eurobanks will need to shed in a "weak policies" case in which Europe continues to delay implementing fiscal reform, aka austerity, as per Figure 2.14. Even the baseline (and this being the IMF it means it has zero chance of happening) scenario is not much better, at a revised $2.8 (7.3%) trillion in deleveraging. The reason for the increase is due to "lower expected earnings, higher losses linked to worsened economic conditions, and greater funding pressures on banks."  ,  Guest Post: Are Businesses Quietly Preparing For A Financial Apocalypse?  US corporations are sitting on more cash than at any point since World War II. That's without including banks. We're only talking about nonfinancial corporations the ones that sell goods and services and make the economy go. Those businesses hold $1.4 trillion. As investors, we can infer quite a bit from corporations' inability (or unwillingness) to deploy their cash. For one, it indicates that business have assumed a very defensive stance. Cash, of course, is a buffer against uncertainty - the uncertainty that business slows for any reason. But $1.4 trillion? That tells us that businesses are not just a little jittery about the future. They're prepared for an apocalypse.  ,  Bill Gross' Advice To Asset Managers: "Turn Lead To Gold"  At least he did not say Tungsten...Gross: Stock and bond managers today must be alchemists: turn lead into gold.

No matter how you look at the data there is a clear disconnect between the BLS report and economic realities.  From the NFIB's point view it is "economic uncertainty" that weighs on business owners and keeps them on the defensive.  The actions by the Federal Reserve to buy bonds and inject liquidity into the financial system does not solve the problem of "poor sales", reduce regulations that strangle growth or solve the "fiscal cliff" issues that threaten business profitability by the end of the year.

10-8-12  The Largest Economy In The World Is Imploding Right In Front Of Our Eyes  http://albertpeia.com/largesteconomyimploding.htm   ,  MF cuts 2012, 2013 global growth forecasts Marketwatch  ,  The Inflation Rate Is A Lie Too  http://albertpeia.com/inflationrateisalietoo.htm  ‘…In fact, the way that the government calculates inflation has changed more than 20 times since 1978.   The government is constantly looking for ways that it can make inflation appear to be even lower.  According to John Williams of shadowstats.com, if inflation was measured the same way that it was back in 1990, the inflation rate would be about 5 percent right now.  If inflation was measured the same way that it was back in 1980, the inflation rate would be about 9 percent right now.  But instead, we are expected to believe that the inflation rate is hovering around 2 percent.  Well, anyone that goes to the supermarket or fills up their vehicle with gasoline knows that prices are going up a lot faster than that.  Just about everything that we buy on a regular basis is steadily becoming more expensive one of the reasons why he says that more money printing ("quantitative easing") is okay is because we are in a "low inflation" environment at the moment. Sadly, this is exactly the kind of delusional thinking that led to the horrible crisis in the Weimar Republic back in the 1920s.  Quantitative easing did not work for the Weimar Republic, and it is not going to work for us either. But it will cause the prices of the things that we buy on a regular basis to go up even more…’  ,   Is China an economic miracle, or one massive Government-­Sponsored fraud?  http://albertpeia.com/chinamiraclegovernmentfraud.htm  ,  Spain: How One Country Could Take Down the Entire EU Banking System  http://albertpeia.com/spaincouldbringdowneubanksystem.htm  ,  Daves Daily:  http://www.etfdigest.com  10-8-12 ..The markets were weak most of the day and that included the Feds printing press given Columbus Day.

As Bloomberg BusinessWeek reports, Gao Xiqing of CIC stated that "I think we do need to slow down a little bit instead of rushing up to all these fancy derivatives." The fact that the 'whale' loss was not a rogue trader but a systemic decision gone wrong on weak risk management of an overly-complex position was "the single most revealing thing" to Gao as he expressed concern about a society in which "all the best engineers are engineering financial products." Summing up the entire ethos of US financial innovation he concluded: "You have all the smartest kids to design these products, the only purpose of which is to get money out of other peoples pockets, that is not very good."

 

Daily US Opening News And Market Re-Cap: October 8

Risk averse sentiment dominate the session, as market participants looked forward to the latest European finance ministers meeting who are due to discuss Spains finances, as well as Greece, which is yet to formalise spending cuts in order to receive the next aid tranche. Reports that China's economic growth is expected to have slowed to 7.5% in Q3 from 7.6% in Q2 weighed on basic materials and industrials stocks. The World Bank cut its 2012 GDP forecast for China to 7.7% from 8.2%; 2013 to 8.1% from 8.6%. Uncertainty surrounding the never-ending sovereign debt crisis in Europe weighed on financials, and in turn translated into lower 3m EURUSD cross currency basis. Peripheral bond yields rose, with Italy underperforming, ahead of the supply later on in the week. Going forward, given the Columbus Day holiday across the pond, trade volumes are expected to be below the average.

A Jobs Report Conspiracy?

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com 

 http://albertpeia.com/jobreportcon.htm

{ Come on! People have to start calling a spade a spade! Os just a typical incompetent, jive-talking b***s*** nigger! He is so pathetic and a total embarrassment! }


The following is a sampling of skeptical quotes about this jobs report....

Former GE chief Jack Welch

Unbelievable jobs numbers..these Chicago guys will do anything..can't debate so change numbers

Chapwood Capital Investment Management Managing Partner Ed Butowsky

I feel like Im watching a movie. There is no way in the world these numbers are accurate.

Neil Irwin of the Washington Post

"Weird that payrolls are exactly on forecast but household survey is far better."

Conn Carroll, senior editorial writer for the Washington Examiner

While it is highly improbable that BLS conspired to cook the books, there is still a huge 756,000 job gap between the number of jobs employers told the Labor Department they created in September (114k), and the number of Americans who told the labor department that they got new jobs (873k).

U.S. Representative Allen West

I agree with former GE CEO Jack Welch, Chicago style politics is at work here. Somehow by manipulation of data we are all of a sudden below 8 percent unemployment, a month from the Presidential election. This is Orwellian to say the least and representative of Saul Alinsky tactics from the book "Rules for Radicals"- a must read for all who want to know how the left strategize . Trust the Obama administration? Sure, and the spontaneous reaction to a video caused the death of our Ambassador......and pigs fly.

Gluskin Sheff's David Rosenberg

That the 7.8 percent jobless rate takes it to the level that prevailed when the President took office in January 2009 has raised many an eyebrow. I don't believe in conspiracy theories. But I don't believe in the Household Survey either. 

This notoriously volatile indicator has become even more so in recent months. It showed a 195K slide in July and a 119K decline in August, to only then reveal a massive 873K surge in September.

Radio host Laura Ingraham

"Jobs #s from Labor Secretary Hilda Solis are total pro-Obama propaganda--labor force participation rate at 30-yr low. Abysmal!"

Americans for Limited Government

"Either the Federal Reserve, which has its fingers on the pulse of every element of the economy, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics manufacturing survey report are grievously wrong or the number used to calculate the unemployment rate are wrong, or worse manipulated. Given that these numbers conveniently meet Obama's campaign promises one month before the election, the conclusions are obvious."

Rick Santelli of CNBC

"I told you they'd get it under 8 percent they did! You can let America decide how they got there!"

Of course the backlash in the media against skepticism of the jobs report has been very forceful.

Already, those that are doubtful of the legitimacy of the jobs report are being called "truthers" - as if there is something wrong with wanting to know the truth.

Sadly, that is how things work these days.  If you don't like the viewpoint that some people are expressing, you just label them "conspiracy theorists".

And when someone is labeled a "conspiracy theorist", that is code for "that person is so crazy that you should not listen to anything they say".

But the truth is that we live in a world where often people do things that they are not supposed to be doing.

When something rather strange happens, it is not wrong to investigate and try to figure out what is going on.

And this jobs report seems very, very odd.

It sure does seem rather strange that the household survey is showing almost 8 times as many jobs created as the employer survey does.

It sure does seem rather strange that 873,000 more Americans were working in September (the largest increase in 29 years) after decreases in both July and August.

It sure does seem rather strange that the unemployment rate dropped under 8 percent at the exact moment when Barack Obama needed it the most.

But perhaps all of this is just a coincidence.

What do you think?’

US Foodstamp Usage Rises To New Record High

 

While the 0.4% perfectly unmanipulated and totally coincidental swing in the unemployment rate in an Obama favorable direction one month before the election came at a prime time moment for the market, one hour ahead of the open, setting the market mood for the rest of the day (which despite all best efforts still closed red, valiant efforts by Simon Potter and the FRBNY's direct pipe to Citadel notwithstanding), there was one other, far more important data point released by the government's department of agriculture, sufficiently late after the market close to impact no risk assets. That data point of course was foodstamps (or the government's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, aka SNAP), and we are confident that no readers will be surprised to learn that foodstamp usage for both persons and households, has jumped to a new all time record.... Finally, and putting it all into perspective, since December 2007, or the start of the Great Depression ver 2.0, the number of jobs lost is 4.5 million, while those added to foodstamps and disability rolls, has increased by a unprecedented 21 million.

 

On This Day In History, Gas Prices Have Never Been Higher (Again)

While we are told to assume it is entirely transitory and speculation-driven, the price to drive your brand new GM Truck (leased for 30 years, interest-only via your EBT card) has never been higher. Do not worry though since this is only temporarily going to mean 'little Timmy' needs to go without food. As a Public Service Announcement, we have also estimated that the opportunity cost of every additional $1/gallon is just 16-20 $0.99 iGizmo apps you can do without for a week (but given sentiment surveys it would seem you do not need any further sedation).

 

 

Who Is Winning The Race To Debase?

For nearly 30 years, two of the world's largest economic nations (China and the US) have continually debauched debased the purchasing power of their currency. For the last 12 years, the rest of the world joined in. So who is winning the race to debase now? It appears globalization was really all about currency debasement and exporting inflation (i.e. loss of FX value) with debt being the inflation buffer (i.e. borrow to afford or vendor-financing - see AMZN). The problem now is the entire world is saturated with debt and so there is no-one left to export inflation to anymore. We do indeed live in interesting times.

 

 

Bonds Down, Stocks Down, Gold Down, Oil Down, Jobs... Up?

While Europe was ripping higher this morning, commodity prices were slipping quietly lower and Treasury prices higher as the USD was very modestly higher and US equity futures were treading water. The payroll print provided the fuel to pump us up to within a tick of the year's highs in the S&P, smashed the USD weaker, twanged Treasury yields higher and sent Financials and Materials zooming higher. Unable to break those record highs, stocks reversed as Energy (Oil was sliding once again) and Tech (AAPL) led them lower. Within a few hours we had retraced the entire NFP spike in FX and equity markets but Treasury yields kept pushing higher (30Y +14bps on the week). Gold closes green on the week while Oil/Silver/Copper were red as the AUD lost almost 2% against the USD and EUR gained 1%. AAPL tumbled 2%, closing below its 50DMA for its biggest 2-week slide in six months. VIX was jabbed under 14% briefly but ended fractionally lower on the day at 14.4% (-0.2vols). Equities and risk-assets disengaged today and equity's inability to manage a late-day ramp (and AAPL closing at lows) must be a little concerning for the cheerleaders.

 

 

Consumer Credit Soars As Uncle Sam Resumes Handing Out Billions In Student Loans With Reckless Abandon

Following a major miss in July consumer credit which declined by $3.3 billion (since revised to a -$2.5 billion decline), it was only natural that August would be the opposite, and see a rebound over consensus. Sure enough, the August total consumer credit number came in at $2.73 trillion, an increase of $18.1 billion from last month, on expectations of an increase by $7.25 billion. Why did the number rise? Same reason as always: a government-funded pump into non-revolving (i.e., Student and Government motor loan) credit which soared by $14 billion while revolving credit posted a modest $4.2 billion increase unable to even offset the July decline. But in headline scanning algo news, this was the highest jump in post-revision (recall last month the Fed completely redid its consumer credit series data which is now useless for any analysis going back before December 2010). Yet oddly even with this massive pump the stock market has refused to rebound and instead is acting in a very odd fashion and the now traditional green color of stock moves has taken on an odd reddish hue that is unfamiliar to the current generation of traders.

 

 

The Strangest Number In Today's Jobs Number

While we already presented the explanation for the dramatic drop in today's unemployment report (almost entirely driven by the surge in part-time jobs for economic reasons, hardly a thing to be proud of as more and more full time jobs, especially those on Wall Street, are a thing of the past, while the transition to a part-time worker society has been documented extensively in the past here), there is another number that is by far the most perplexing in today's NFP dataset: that showing the employment of workers in the 20-24 year age category (both seasonally adjusted and unadjusted). See if you can spot the outlier in the chart below.

 

 

 

10-4-12  Daves Daily:  http://www.etfdigest.com  CENTRAL BANKS STILL IN CONTROL 10-4-12 From the FOMC Minutes we now know that policy makers are in full experimentation mode. There is division and the ability to establish benchmarks and an exit strategy are still a work in progress. This is our currency theyre messing with. Clearly the congress and successive administrations arent really overseeing policies as much as they pretend. The ECBs Draghi held a press conference today announced no decision on interest rates and stated things were just okey-dokey in Spain and elsewhere. The ECB has purchased no sovereign debt yet or bonds from banks, and for all we know they never will. And, lets not forget the obligatory restatement from Super Mario that the euro is irreversible. This you must take on face value. In the meantime Spain has stated it wants no part of any so-called bailout given politically unpalatable conditions. (Maybe theyll just call it something elsesnicker.) They, like others, wish to buy time by invading their Social Security trust fund. The U.S. congress knows how to do this too and were mighty proud to lead the way in this! Jobless Claims Thursday were about as expected (367K vs 370K expected & prior revised higher as usual to 363K from 358K). This data continues to be poor no matter the bullish spin. Factory Orders were weak (-5.2% vs .6% expected & prior 2.8%) so thats a beat then sort of.  Well have Fridays big employment report to look forward to and analysts are busy recalculating possible scenarios (consensus currently 113K jobs & rate still 8.1%). Then theres that debate from last night which Romney won. One thing that did was lift coal stocks (KOL) since he touted it. Anyway, that was just round one with more to come in debates and then a lot of viciousness.The dollar (UUP) continues to drop allowing precious metals (GLD & SLV) to rally along with other commodities (DBC & USO) for example. Bonds (TLT) fell as stocks rallied. We forget stock bulls like the weak dollar, strong stock trade. It does fly in the face of one of the Feds dual mandates, protect the purchasing power of the dollar.For us were just lowly trend-followersperhaps with an attitudeso were long markets no matter how we feel emotionally. After all this is my opportunity to rage at the machine all I want.So, as indicated, stocks rallied once again led by financials (XLF), miners (XME), healthcare (XLV) and energy (XLE) among other others.This will be another short posting given Fridays potentially market moving employment report.Volume remained light before the report Friday but clearly bulls are enthusiastic regarding QE globally. Breadth per the WSJ was positive…’

 

After the debate debacle for Obama, well find out if we have a race

Obama mocks Romney as ‘getting tough on Big Bird’ { Wow! Great point O. I bet that point wasn’t even teleprompted; strictly your own. Now people know why america’s going down so fast and furious! }   Drudgereport: UPDATE: Obama gives himself an 'incomplete' grade...  { Wow! The audacity! The unmitigated gall! This from the record holder for fundraisers, 151 and counting. Then there’s the 100 plus rounds of golf in addition to being famously over-vacationed while in office. Did wobama expect that these things would in choom fashion magically come to fruition while he was ‘workin on his tan’, golf swing, or shootin’ hoops on the taxpayer dime? http://albertpeia.com/wobamaschoomgangfantasy.htm 

The point is that you don’t have to love Romney but you at least have to like yourself in saying ‘NO!’ to more wobama b***s*** which is all that he is. Have some self-respect. His grade is unequivocally ‘F’ for failure, having failed to do as promised which coincidentally is a direct cause among others of this debacle called america’s dark obama years. All the talk/b***s*** cannot change that reality.   Obama: Biggest mistake too much perspiration, not enough inspiration  [What total b***s***!] { Biggest mistake: too much b***s***, not enough substance; that’s reality, not spin! }  White House on weak jobs report: Don’t ‘read too much’ into it    Olivier Knox, Yahoo! News  { Riiiiight! Sounds like a plan! After all, wobama’s gotten’ by on b***s*** and ‘special consideration’ alone, never having done anything of substance in his entire life. Indeed, even his so-called ‘auto-biographies’ are works of what appear to be ‘choom-gang’ induced fantasies which reveal a psychogenic/dissociative amnesia that works well in the continuing ‘narrative’ devoid of fact on his ‘more b*** s*** campaign trail’ littered with the cowpies of stark reality. People owe themselves and their children more than this grifter’s con which in numbers measures more than the increased deficits of all the presidents since President General Eisenhower combined to obfuscate his unequivocal failure. http://albertpeia.com/10waysobamakillingjobsinamerica.htm    }  Obama Asks People Getting Married To Forgo Gifts...
Donate To His Campaign Instead...
[ Wobama is so pathetic! Sure, sacrifice for the grifter wobamas so they can continue livin’ large on the taxpayer dime while accomplishing nothing except greater public debt to hide his failure. This from the record holder for fundraisers, 151 and counting. Then there’s the 100 plus rounds of golf in addition to being famously over-vacationed while in office. It’s laughable to hear him blame congress for his lack of accomplishments when the reality is that he ‘really wasn’t there’ for any of it. For wobama the presidency is just endless debate, rhetoric, campaigning, vacationing, soundbites from the teleprompted speeches, jive-talk, b***s***, and ‘choom fantasy’. He’s a total fraud and failure and anyone who buys into election-year desperation / promises, etc., is just a fool of the worst kind!   AP: ‘…
THE FACTS: Five Senate Democrats voted against sending the DREAM Act to the Senate floor for full consideration. The bill would have created a path to citizenship for many young illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children. Last week, Obama announced plans to stop deporting illegal immigrants who would have qualified for the DREAM Act. The policy change does not include a path to citizenship…’ Then there’s the other meretricious ‘wobama desperation hail mary’ that once again falls short. Indeed, as an investor, one analyzes earnings, projects prospective earnings over a 3-5 year horizon, and the quality of the earnings along macro economic factors which are affected by ‘political considerations’. Does anyone remember the honorable Ross Perot who warned of NAFTA’s effect on american jobs even as the democrat administration et als were hell-bent on passing same? Should Romney have breached his legal duty to shareholders and invested in companies with poor earnings prospects? After all, in the financial / security analysis step of projecting the income statement, prospective labor costs figure prominently in the bottomline. In sum, Romney took conditions as he found them, and made the prudent choices which as per his legal duty were optimal for those who put their trust in him. For those who put their trust in proven failure wobama, all they have to show for such misplaced trust are broken campaign promises, now insurmountable record deficit spending exceeding all the presidents since Eisenhower combined to obfuscate what clearly has been wobama’s unequivocal failure. ]

Those arrested "were the main players in the recent fluctuations in the foreign currency market," the Tehran Judiciary said in a statement as the public panics over a 60% drop in its currency's purchasing power in the last few weeks.

Guest Post: Explaining Hyperinflation

The fact that naturally scarce currencies like gold do not hyperinflate even in times of extreme economic stress suggests that the underlying mechanism here is of an extreme exogenous event causing a severe drop in productivity. Governments then run the printing presses attempting to smooth over such problems for instance in the Weimar Republic when workers in the occupied Ruhr region went on a general strike and the Weimar government continued to print money in order to pay them. While hyperinflation can in theory arise either out of either ?Q or ?M, government has no reason to inject a hyper-inflationary volume of money into an economy that still has access to global exports, that still produces sufficient levels of energy and agriculture to support its population, and that still has a functional infrastructure.  This means that the indicators for imminent hyperinflation are not economic so much as they are geopolitical wars, trade breakdowns, energy crises, socio-political collapse, collapse in production, collapse in agriculture. While all such catastrophes have preexisting economic causes, a bad economic situation will not deteriorate into full-collapse and hyperinflation without a severe intervening physical breakdown.

 

 

Oil & Stocks Win As Bonds, USD, & AAPL Lose

Threaky Thursday. Oil perfectly round-tripped its plunge from yesterday (ending back above $91.50) as Treasury yields caught 'up' to equity strength on the week. USD weakness was a one-way street of straight-line trend from 0500ET in EUR today - until the Fed minutes broke something. Gold and stocks continue their synchronized lift - though gold is still the clear winner post QEternity. Trannies outperformed again but the day-session in the Dow and the S&P were largely treading water - after the factory-order-driven stop run surge this morning. Meanwhile, all those front-running winners in MBS land have seemingly started to unwind - as mortgage spreads have retraced post-QEternity gains quite significantly (which is likely what helped Treasury yields higher today - though the convergence to risk also helped). The ubiquitous 3ET AAPL ramp was modestly front-run and epically failed as the stock-that-shall-not-be-named closed red with a $666 handle once again with some major volume at the close. VIX was solidly banged lower right at the close (coinciding with AAPL's high volume action) to end at 14.55 (down 0.88vols) in line with the S&P.

Warnings That A Massive Stock Market Crash Is Imminent   http://albertpeia.com/massivestockmarketcrashimminent.htm  , Daves Daily:  http://www.etfdigest.com  PATIENCE IS THE OPERATIVE WORD 10-3-12 You really have to be careful now. Bernankes high wire act has no guarantee of success. At the same time its worked before to drive up stock prices. This seems to be what his main objective is and confirmed as it were by Bloomberg. But how many times can you go to the well with this stuff? Thats the question. Stocks are trying to rise and are dueling with poor economic data from China and the eurozone not to mention what should be poor upcoming earnings news.Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) warned today earnings as the overall PC business is in trouble with weak demand.Economic data from the U.S. included ISM Services data (55.1 vs 53.5 expected & prior 53.7). Comically the person responsible (Nieves) at ISM said hard to pinpoint the reason for the gain in the index. Embedded within the data were higher prices paid and the employment component weakened (51.5 vs prior 53.8). The usually unreliable ADP Employment Report rose (162K vs 140K expected & prior revised lower to 189K vs 201K). Investors found the data overall less than thrilling but lets face it QE3 rules for now.Thursday is Jobless Claims again and then Fridays all-important Employment Report. Also well see what impact if any the first presidential debate provided. 

In commodity markets oil (USO) plunged, not so much on inventory issues as was feared, but more about future demand prospects. (Crude Oil Inventories -.5M BBLs vs -2.4M BBLs previously) doesnt mean theres a build in inventories particularly.In other news it was reported that Chelsea Clinton has left her job on Wall Street { Difficult to imagine with bill and hill her endowing (genetically) parents, but I personally think she is a good person and couldnt possibly imagine wall street as a suitable place for her; even to get her feet wet. }  to search for more meaning in her no doubt wretched life. Me? Im more interested in Monica Lewinskys forthcoming tell all. Yeah, Im feeling like a rascal today.Stocks were led higher by Biotech (IBB) where earnings arent the driving force, transportation (IYT) with energy lower, financials (XLF) and healthcare which may benefit from an Obama win. Bonds (TLT) were flat while the dollar (UUP) was slightly higher. Commodities (DBC) tumbled with weak energy markets but gold (GLD) remained firm and near resistance levels. Given whats ahead and ordinary market action this will be another short post.Volume remained quite light as investors seem tense before employment data, debate and then earnings. Breadth per the WSJ was again unremarkable…’ ,   Fed's Latest Easing Has Little Impact -- Out of Bullets (As Predicted By Many, including Graham Summers, all of whom among others assert the severe inflationary impact of  the misguided over-printing/creating/fiat currency and weimar effect)?   Marketwatch Headlines for 10-3   http://albertpeia.com/marketwatchheads10312.htm   ,    Obama Contract Slides On InTrade  ZeroHedge.com  The first debate is still in progress, but the habitual gamblers who have a compulsion to bet all the time 24/7 on event outcomes have already spoken via their favorite venue InTrade, and the initial reaction is not favorable for the incumbent…’  ,  First Obama vs Romney Presidential Debate - Live Webcast  , ‘…the first of many presidential debates will begin, whose ultimate goal will be to validate in the minds of those 47% or so (aka the very loud minority) who intend to vote for the next president, that they have made the right choice. They haven't (for the reason, or rather 16,171,037,343,409 reasons, see here: neither candidate {now} can do anything at all to prevent the debt crisis iceberg that America is careening into full speed, and which nobody {I did!} could have foreseen). ..  ,   4 Years After TARP - Winners, Losers, Bubbles, And Troubles  ,  Fed Confused Reality Doesn't Conform To Its Economic Models, Shocked Its Models Predict "Explosive Inflation"   ,  Complete Fed Failure: Retail Investors Pull Out Most From Domestic Equity Funds In Two Months  Just as we had suspected for months, Bernanke's attempt to herd cats and to drive retail investors into equities is now a complete and unmitigated catastrophe. According to just released ICI data, in the week ended September 26, the second full week after the announcement of QE3, retail investors pulled $5.1 billion from domestic equity funds, following a massive $4.8 billion outflow the week prior, and the most in 2 months. This is also the sixth largest weekly outflow in 2012 to date, a year in which over $100 billion has already been pulled from equity mutual funds. And since we now know that Bernanke's only motive for QE3 is to stimulate a wealth effect and to push everyone into the broken casino, where such trading farces as Kraft's flash smash today, as Knight Capital's implosion a month ago, and FaceBook's IPO, not to mention the virtually daily Flash Crash in at least one name, have killed every last shred of faith in equities, it can be safely said that QE3 has failed three short weeks after being launched. As to where the money did go: why taxable bonds of course - not even the "dumb money" is that dumb to go where the Fed tells it to, and instead merely does what the Fed does: it keeps on frontrunning the Fed's monetization of the US deficit, which is now going on for the 3rd year in a row  ,   NY Mass Transit Fares Will Rise 35% From 2007 To 2015, And Surge From There   ,  David Rosenberg: "RIP Wealth Effect"  So the Fed is pinning its hopes on stimulating the economy via the wealth effect again, as it did when it revived the post-tech-wreck asset bubble in housing and credit in that now infamous 2003-07 period of radical excess. But here's the rub. While there is a wealth effect on spending, the correlation going back to 1952 is only 57%. But the correlation between spending and after-tax personal incomes is more like 75%. The impact is leagues apart. And that is the problem here, as we saw real disposable personal income decline 0.3% in August for the largest setback of the year. The QE2 trend of 1.7% is about half the 3.2% trend that was in place at the time of 0E2. Not only that, but the personal savings rate is too low to kick-start spending, even if the Fed is successful in generating significant asset price inflation. The savings rate now is at a mere 3.7%, whereas it was 6% at the time of QE1 back in 2009 and over 5% at the time of QE2 2010 in other words, there is less pent-up demand right now and a much greater need to rebuild rather than draw down the personal savings rate.  ,  About That Money On The Sidelines: It's "All In"  Despite being told again and again by any-and-every commission-taker and newsletter-vendor that sentiment is terrible, managers will need to high-beta performance-chase, and the 'money-on-the-sidelines' is just around the corner; it appears that reality is different. The Net Long Interest in S&P 500 Futures (the most liquid equity trading vehicle in the world) is now at its highest since December 2008. The last time investors were this 'net long', the S&P 500 fell over 25% in the next two months.  , Kyle Bass On The Federal Budget: "I Don't Know How To Fix This"  Hayman Capital's Kyle Bass is back and cutting through the caustic bullshit that surrounds every waking moment in this kick-the-can world. Dispelling the myth of our 'deleveraging' virtue, with global debt having grown from $80tn to over $200tn in the last ten years alone (a 10.7% CAGR) and the frightening reality of central bank balance sheet growth of 16% per annum, Bass concludes (rightly) that "you can't do this for very long" as governments infinitely leverage and central banks have begun the endgame of open-ended money-printing. Addressing the question of timing, Bass notes that while Europe and Japan are 'perceived' to be 'staying together' there are in fact devastating losses occurring (ask Greek bond-holders) and he firmly believes that "Germany will never go joint-and-several with the rest of Europe." The world sits at a place it has never been before in peace-time - as far as global debt balances and deficits - and that is why the global investing playbook is so hard. He goes on to address hyper-levered economies, delayed inflationary outcomes, and worries that the cost-push (lower GDP, higher CPI) prints are just beginning in Europe. As a fiduciary, and something all investors should consider, Bass states "Given what we see coming, our job is not to lose money!"  ,  Does Stimulus Spending Work?  As we patiently await tonight's much-anticipated debate - and its zinger-ful diatribe of tax, spend, save, borrow, jobs, jobs, jobs word bingo - we thought this perfectly succinct clip dismissing the myth of how government stimulus leads to economic growth was particularly pertinent. Professor Antony Davies provides evidence, via empirical data from 1955, that there is no connection between federal spending and economic improvement - and as we have repeatedly noted - it merely adds to government debt. From the 'magic' of the Keynesian multiplier to the eyes-wide-shut view of spending creating jobs while ignoring the taxing-borrowing-printing nature of that spending. Government doesn't create jobs, it 'moves' jobs; as three years of stimulus spending has left us with ~8% unemployment and $4.6tn more debt.  ,  'Mugabenomics' From Zimbabwe To The UK - "Gold Is Good"  In a post entitled 'Mugabenomics: Inflation in UK Higher than in Zimbabwe,' Guido Fawkes points out how the Liberal Democrats Vince Cable once warned that Quantitative Easing (QE) was Mugabenomics.,  IMF Brings Good Tidings: Prepare For Another Lost Decade   "It will surely take at least a decade... for the world economy to get back to decent shape" is the somewhat shockingly honest (and at the same time hopeful that ECOpocalypse does not happen before) outlook that the IMF's Olivier Blanchard offers in a recent interview with Hungary's Portfolio.ru via Reuters.   ,  Guest Post: It's Not America Anymore  Those who rally behind the modern concept of America rally behind a façade an empty shell devoid of the heart and soul that gave life to this once great experiment. It is time for us to decide what kind of Americans we wish to be: the deluded rah-rah puppets of a desiccated totalitarian society, or the watchmen on the wall. Will we be the keepers and protectors of the vital core of the American identity, or will we be fly-by-night consumers of the flavor-of-the-day political carnival, eating every tainted sample from the elitist platter in an insane attempt to replace our free heritage with a sleek, sexy, rehashed form of top-down feudalism?

 

 

 

Ultraluxury NY Real Estate Market Cracking As Legendary 740 Park Duplex Sells 45% Below Original Asking PriceEven as the media desperately tries to whip everyone into a buying frenzy in an attempt to rekindle the second housing bubble, the marginal, and less than pretty truth, is finally starting to emerge. Over the weekend we presented the first major red flag about the state of the housing market - in this case commercial - when we exposed that "New York's Ultraluxury Office Vacancy Rate Jumps To Two Year High As Financial Firms Brace For Impact." What is left unsaid here is that if demand for rents is low, then, well, demand for rents is low: hardly the stuff housing market recoveries are made of. Today, on the residential side, CNBC's Diana Olick adds to this bleak picture with "Apartment Demand Ebbs as Avalanche of New Units Open." In other words rental demand for both commercial and resi properties is imploding. But at least there is always owning. Well, no. As we have shown, the foreclosure, aka distressed, market is dead, courtesy of the complete collapse in the foreclosure pipeline as banks are effectively subsidizing the upper end of the housing market by keeping all the low end inventory on their books (who doesn't love the smell of $1.6 trillion in fungible excess reserves to plug capital holes in the morning. It smells like crony capitalism). But at least the ultra luxury, aka money laundering market was chugging along at a healthy pace. After all there are billions in freefloating dollars that need to be grounded in the US, courtesy of the NAR which is always happy to look the other way, another issue we discussed this weekend. Now even that market appears to be cracking, following the purchase of a duplex in New York's most iconic property: 740 Park, by, who else but a former Goldman partner, at a whopping 45% off the original asking price.

10-2-12  Daves Daily:  http://www.etfdigest.com  TURNAROUND TUESDAY 10-2-12 The eurozone sector was higher today for no particular reason. In fact Moodysasserted late yesterday the much heralded beat for the Spanish bank stress tests was a dud from their view. Instead of 53.7 billion needed it was more like 105 billion that is needed. But that didnt seem to bother euro stock bulls much even as Spain stated they would not be seeking a bailout soon. Bonds in Spain rallied in price showing the lack of respect many rating agencies receive nowadays. Bottom line for me with Spain et al: Get. It. Over With! Meanwhile U.S. markets jumped early and then faded again late as investors fret about the upcoming earnings season. Theres also plenty of employment news with ADP data Wednesday, Jobless Claims Thursday and the big employment report Friday. We also have the first presidential debate outcome which might offer some clarity. Earnings estimates have been reduced sharply. This generally allows for earnings beats that get stocks jumping higher. Its all part of the games analysts and their corporate counterparts play on Wall Street.Stock markets were program driven throughout the day in two-way action. These are easily spotted on the 5 minute SPY chart below. Tech bounced back mildly on the session. The dollar (UUP) was slightly weaker, gold (GLD) seems stuck and needing a news boost, commodities (DBC) were mixed and bonds were flat.In ETF news Vanguard announced it will be severing links to MSCI indexes and naturally this hit MSCI stock hard today. This is just another aspect of the ongoing fee wars taking place in the ETF space. Vanguard wont be doing this abruptly but over a period of time. Its going to potentially screw up charting depending how in sync the new indexes from FTSE and others will be. Lets remember, many indexes in various categories are quite repetitive so perhaps the transition will be hard to notice. Given the action and results this post will be short.Volume was once again light and breadth per the WSJ was unremarkable…’  ,  Americans May Be Getting Poorer, But At Least We Are Getting Fatter And Sicker  http://albertpeia.com/americanspoorerfattersicker.htm   ,  The Last Housing Crash Is Not Even Over But Bernanke Is Already Setting The Stage For The Next One  http://albertpeia.com/bernankesnexthousingcrash.htm  ,  Why You Should Be VERY Afraid of Inflation  http://albertpeia.com/fearthebighyperinflationcoming.htm   ,   Eric Sprott: Do Western Central Banks Have Any Gold Left?  ZeroHedg.com  ,  European Banks (Insanely) Still Treat Their Sovereign Debt Holdings As Risk-Free, BIS Finds  ,  US Debt Soars To $16,159,487,013,300.35, +$93 Billion; Or How To Kick Off Fiscal 2013 With A Bang  ,  Guest Post: Eight Signs The System Is Broken  ,  Dancing On The Grave Of Keynesianism The problem we are going to face at some point as a nation and in fact as a civilization is this: there is no well-developed economic theory inside the corridors of power that will explain to the administrators of a failed system what they should do after the system collapses. This was true in the Eastern bloc in 1991. There was no plan of action, no program of institutional reform. This is true in banking. This is true in politics. This is true in every aspect of the welfare-warfare state. The people at the top are going to be presiding over a complete disaster, and they will not be able to admit to themselves or anybody else that their system is what produced the disaster. So, they will not make fundamental changes. They will not restructure the system, by decentralizing power, and by drastically reducing government spending. They will be forced to decentralize by the collapsed capital markets. The welfare-warfare state, Keynesian economics, and the Council on Foreign Relations are going to suffer major defeats when the economic system finally goes down. The system will go down  ,  This Is Why High Frequency Trading Will Never Go Away  In April of 2009 we warned very explicitly that reliance on the fake "liquidity" (which was never liquidity per se but merely volume and churn) by the HFT algos that stuff quotes, frontrun each other, spoof, layer, and generally make a mockery out of the thing fomerly known as the market (which is now more than anything a policy vehicle for central planners but that's a different story) would result in tears. A year later the first flash crash happened, and ever since then more and more people have finally realized how our 3+ year long crusade against HFT (which sadly is now a minor distraction against the far greater evil which is central bank dominance of capital markets) was spot on, confirmed by the recent segments (here, here and here) on CNBC which effectively confirmed the markets are not only a joke, but without any real depth, i.e. fake. What is amusing is that people still don't understand why the exchanges, and the regulators (coopted by the exchanges) allow HFT to continue. Here is the answer: in 2011 the CME made 31.5% of all its revenues from HFT, the ICE: 25.1%, the NYSE: 21.4%, the Nasdaq: 17.1%, the CBOE: 22.4%, and so on.  ,  From Currency Debasement To Social Collapse: 4 Case Studies  ,  China Just Killed All "China Bails Out Europe" Rumors For Good  ,  GM September Sales Miss; Channel Stuffing Resumes  ,  The Disconnect Remains; Contracting PMIs Imply Dramatic Q4 Losses For Global Stocks

 

Guest Post: The Real Reason Behind War The conventional validation for perpetual war in the Middle East does not hold when looked at rationally.  When the ideas of nationalism and statist glory are wiped away, the state appears as it really is: institutionalized exploitation of the masses by the few.  The undertaking of war masks this reality for a short period while accelerating the pace at which liberty is stripped away.  In the end, wars are waged to fulfill the sadistic desires of government leaders and to give them an opening to tighten their grip on society.  The parasitic class which makes up the state doesnt just war with other states; it conducts war against the citizens it claims to protect.

 

The ECB – EUR22 Trillion Is Missing  Zero Hedge | Think of it; twenty-two trillion dollars worth of assets and liabilities and accounted for nowhere.

Via Mark J. Grant, author of Out of the Box,

The ECB: The Missing Assets/Liabilities

To treat your facts with imagination is one thing, but to imagine your facts is another.

-John Burroughs

Yesterday I published the assets/liabilities of the European Central Bank as provided by them. I provided some analysis that I thought was relevant as I also asked all of you to look at the numbers yourself. To be quite open; I was stunned by the data they provided and shocked by the implications. I had not seen the data in any other source or commented about by anyone and the subject, while admittedly complex, and perhaps made more complex by design, is a huge wake-up call for anyone investing in Europe.

The ECB lists, as of the end of the 1st quarter of 2012, 16.304 trillion Euros ($ 21.032 trillion) in assets and 17.334 trillion Euros ($22.631 trillion) in liabilities. It is right there in black and white as I showed in the ECB provided data that I presented yesterday. However when you get to their consolidated balance sheet you find the numbers they bandy about in public to be a ledger of 3.240 trillion Euros ($4.00 trillion) and you catch your breath and pause. Utilizing normal American accounting practices this variance would be impossible and yet here it is; staring us all right in the face.

Europe has put a stop payment on our reality check!

-The Wizard

I can report that I did hear from a number of large institutions yesterday that also looked at the numbers themselves and were stunned. Conversations were held, questions were asked and I think an accurate summation of the conversations was that everyone was in some state or another of astonishment. The numbers were not my numbers after all and while many good issues were raised in terms of how to properly analyze the data that was presented there was a clear sense that we were being duped by the European Central Bank and played for suckers.

Reality is the leading cause of stress amongst those in touch with it.

-Jane Wagner

Forget that the liabilities are greater than the assets and forget that that both have increased rather appreciably in the last several years and just concentrate on the size of the numbers presented and then ask the central questions; who is responsible for these assets and liabilities and where are they counted? We know that they are not counted at the ECB as they are not a part of their consolidated balance sheet. You may ask how this is possible and I re-print, once again, the applicable note from the ECB:

Recognition of assets and liabilities

An asset or liability is only recognized in the Balance Sheet when it is probable that any associated future economic benefit will flow to or from the ECB, substantially all of the associated risks and rewards have been transferred to the ECB, and the cost or value of the asset or the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

So there is the rationale, like it or not, but then where are these assets/liabilities counted? We are talking about $21.032 trillion in assets here and $22.631 trillion in liabilities which are larger numbers that all of the GDP of Europe. We can surmise that the ECB does not count these loans, securitizations and collateral as they belong to a given nation or a bank guaranteed by the nation or the securitization is guaranteed by some country but the rub is the country doesnt count them either. When a European nation reports out its debt to GDP ratio I knew that they did not count contingent liabilities and I knew that government backed bank bonds were not included and I knew that regional debt guaranteed by the government was not included but this, and the sheer size of it, had lain underneath everyones radar.

Think of it; twenty-two trillion dollars worth of assets and liabilities and accounted for nowhere. No need to worry anymore about Target2; a mere tuppence at one trillion dollars, a decimal point. Just exactly what these assets and liabilities might be is anyones guess. Just which nations generated them is also anyones guess as no data or explanation is provided. Just what any countrys real debt to GDP ratio might be if these assets/liabilities were included in the equation is also anyones guess but I think it is safe to assume that the numbers would be off the charts; far off the charts.

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.

-Sigmund Freud

You know, these are not blue fairies or gnomes or elves that have gone missing. These are twenty-two trillion dollars ($22 trillion) of loans and securitizations and mortgages that are found and accountable for by no one. These are real assets and real liabilities that have been turned into cash by the ECB and it causes me to wonder just how accurate the Money Supply numbers are for Europe with this amount of cash being pumped into the system. I also wonder what anyones real balance sheet looks like and I wonder what kinds of losses are being incurred and by whom. To be quite forthright, and in my opinion, this seems to me not just the rigging of the game or the gaming of the system but something far past that; something out beyond the realm of the credible and of real world experiences.

This is what we are investing in when we buy European bonds? This is where we are putting our clients money? I dont know; they may have gone mad but I have not.

Have you?

An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.

10-1-12  The Federal Reserve Sends Thank You Letters To Congress For Letting Them Destroy Our Economy In Secret    http://alberpeia.com/feddestroyingeconomy.htm   ,   Time to reap gains and hedge positions  Marketwatch  it is time to take profits,   Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  IRRATIONAL EXUBERANCE DOESNT LAST  10-1-12  In the eurozone Monday it was revealed that 59 billion was less than 62 billion expected and needed from the Spanish bank stress tests. Further, unemployment in the eurozone soared to a record 11.4% and corporate earnings estimates were lowered by 52%. All this was seen as bullish prompting innovative spin such as Nicholas Spiro, managing director of Spiro Sovereign Strategy in London asserted: Although the political and economic situation in Spain is extremely precarious, and manufacturing and labor market conditions across Europe remain bleak, investors are taking comfort from the fact that things could be worse. So, when a reporter calls you for a comment, and clients may be aware, try some nonsense to dazzle them.There was some good news from the ISM Mfg Survey (51.5 vs 49.7 expected & prior 49.6) which was the first increase in months. The PMI Mfg Index was more sobering (51.1 vs 51.5 previous) and Construction Spending was weaker (-.6% vs .6% expected & prior revised to -.4%). The ISM is one of the more important indicators and bulls ran with it recanting the previous theme, bad news is good, good news is better. So theres better data they think and QE3 provides the safety put bulls love.Bernanke was speaking today and touted the Feds QE3 program as a good strategy to cure high unemployment. This is hard to understand since all previous QE attempts have failed to budge unemployment much. He also stated the inflation would remain low for a long period. This also doesnt square with what most folks are paying for food, energy and healthcare. But, perhaps he and Mrs. Bernanke dont need to shop for food, have the government limo to escort them about and most nights out for food are taxpayer funded. Bernanke also surprisingly stated that stimulus (QE) would be kept in place even after the economy gains strength. He argued that Milton Friedman would be approving of what the Fed was doing. This definitely does not agree with Anna Schwartz who co-wrote with Friedman the famous A Monetary History of the United States.  She criticized Bernanke & Co policies before passing away this June. Its like the only lesson the Federal Reserve took from the Great Depression was to flood the market with liquidity, she told an interviewer in 2008. Well, it isnt working. And, as to bailing out banks she called them rogue operations.So stocks rallied sharply out of the gate and were turbo-charged after the ISM data at 10 AM. Early gains were led by materials (XLB) and the industrial (XLI) sectors. As the day wore on enthusiasm waned led primarily by tech (XLK) which never really joined much of the rally. Gold (GLD) hit new 2012 highs intraday but also saw gains fade late. The dollar (UUP) was flat as were commodities overall. Bonds (TLT) were stronger.Volume was modest and breadth per the WSJ was positive…’ ,  Where We Are and Where Were Going (10-1-12)  http://albertpeia.com/fedroadtoperdition.htm  ,  Guest Post: The Global Spring ZeroHedge.com ‘…Whether it was the intention from the outset or not, what globalization has created is a very small class of incredibly wealthy people that are extraordinarily corrupt as a group and also above the law.

'Cheers' all around as the Australian Bureau of Statistics (and Lies) revised household wealth up by AUD14,380 for every one of the country's 22.6 million people - as new estimates of unlisted shares and other equity pushed the nation's total financial assets to AUD3.1tn (compared to an originally reported AUD2.77tn. As the miners from down-under continue to struggle against a fading China, this miraculous 'find' has dropped the ratio of debt to liquid assets from a worrisome 170.1% to a meager 129.1%. Rumors are circulating that the ABS is now looking for the ark of the covenant, the philosopher's stone, and Shangri-La.  ,  Guest Post: Lacy Hunt: "No Increase in Standard of Living Since 1997"  ,  JPMorgan Sued By NY AG Over "Shit-Breathing" Bear Stearns RMBS Fraud  NY Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is suing JPMorgan over "multiple fraudulent and deceptive acts" in selling mortgage-backed securities causing losses of over $20bn. The suit appears to be related to conduct at Bear Stearns and is on the back of the monoline insurer lawsuits, and whistleblower affidavits such as the following:

In connection with the Bear Stearns Second Lien Trust 2007-1 (BSSLT 2007- 1) securitization, for example, one Bear Stearns executive asked whether the securitization was a going out of business sale and expressed a desire to close this dog. In another internal email, the SACO 2006-8 securitization was referred to as a SACK OF SHIT and a shit breather.

While we hope this would effectuate some real change, the likelihood is that it will at best result in a $300mm civil-lawsuit slap-on-the-wrists and brownie points for Schneiderman while nothing changes.  ,  Presenting Spain's Economic Collapse In Context  ,  Guest Post: China's Broken Growth Model  ,  Fed's 'Trickle-Down' Policy Lines Pockets Of Mortgage Originators  ,  Venture C(r)apital: Myth And Reality  ‘…Venture capital (VC) has delivered poor returns for more than a decade.

Guest Post: The 71%

According to a recent CNN poll, 60% of Americans want go to war with Iran to prevent them from getting nuclear weapons. This in spite of the fact that the US intelligence community is fairy unanimous that Iran is not even currently pursuing nuclear weapons. Simultaneously 71% of Americans in total contradiction to the evidence recognised by both the CIA and Mossad that Iran is not currently even developing a nuclear weapon believe that Iran currently has nuclear weapons. Unlike the 71%, Im not really convinced by this if anything, it could be Iranian disinformation to try and avoid an American or Israeli attack. More importantly, the US and Israeli intelligence community at large dont buy it. If they had any real evidence that Iran had a bomb today, Netanyahu would have been presenting it at the UN instead of drawing red lines on Wile E. Coyote bomb diagrams.

 

 

Santelli On QEternity: "Deflation Vacation Or Inflation Gestation"

With gold being horded in Iran and hitting 2012 highs this morning, CNBC's Rick Santelli addresses the 800lb gorilla in the Fed's room - the threat of inflation. Critically noting that the hyperinflation of Weimar Germany "did not happen overnight" but was gestated quietly until it was unstoppable by currency debasement; the question remains of what exactly the Fed thinks it is doing. Santelli makes the important point that if we look at 'printing money' as any type of solution then why not take it to the extreme - "if we just print a million dollars for every man, woman and child and handed it to them, wouldn't that fix everything?" As he adds "if it was that easy there would be no need for economist, no need for even CNBC, but it isn't that easy," Reflecting on Evans' earlier inability to quantify any metrics for whether QEternity was working, Santelli notes that the Fed man falls back to 'confidence' (animal spirits) but worries that inflation is a lot like soybeans; need sun, water, and time but eventually will grow rapidly.  ,  European September Car Sales Datapoints

9-28-12  Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  ‘QUARTER ENDS WITH A WHIMPER  9-28-12  The troubles in Spain continue as the government tries to pull money from their Social Security fund to buy some time through early November. The bank stress tests there revealed a need for $60 billion in bailout funds. The citizenry are still unhappy. When we lived in South America it was common for business there to be done in cash because no one (capitalists, socialists and communists alike) wanted to pay any tax period. When queried about this they’d just say it was part of their Spanish heritage. If you used plastic for any purchases the bill would be increased by over 10%, not for the card transaction, but more so due to taxes. The government then had no recourse except to impose import duties which was the only reliable way they could operate the country. So the culture of demanding benefits without any willingness to pay for them is the problem. The U.S. administration complains a similar problem but the country has an all too sophisticated system of collection which defeats the Spanish problems. That said, we have our own issues naturally. U.S. economic data continues to disappoint. Personal Income didn’t meet expectations (.1% vs .2% expected & prior .1%); Consumer Spending rose (.5% vs .5% expected & prior .4%) meaning less income and more spending; the always entertaining PCE rose (.4% vs .5% expected & prior 0%); the comical “core” PCE (1.5% vs 1.3%) which is that food and energy we don’t use (wink, wink); the Chicago PMI fell (49.7 vs 53 expected & prior 53) but within the data employment was at a 2.5 year low and prices paid was 63.2 vs 57 previously; and, U of Mich. Consumer Sentiment fell (78.3 vs 79 expected & prior 79.2). Taken together the data prompted more “recession” talk. QE3 or 4 would certainly fix all that…certainly. So the little light volume rally from Thursday, which also featured horrific data, was undone and all markets reversed course once again. Once again it seems investor complacency is just too high that poor economic data will reverse, the eurozone problems will be resolved and the fiscal cliff will be avoided. A stronger dollar which may present itself at any point will hurt forward earnings. Nike (NKE) earnings and outlook hit the stock hard but dollar valuation wasn’t a factor. Earnings season begins in earnest early next month and large disappointments can cause PE multiples to contract quickly. Then there’s the election with results currently a coin toss. In 1980 Carter had the lead over Reagan with as poor a record as Obama but the debates sealed the deal for him. It’s impossible to predict the next quarter but portfolio managers did make their quarterly bonuses so they’re in good shape for now. They might do well to save it for the Holidays. The dollar (UUP) was stronger once again; gold (GLD) weaker; stocks (SPY) weaker; bonds (IEF) stronger; and commodities (DBC) overall were also weak. Volume was again increased on selling even as the markets attempted to halve early losses. Breadth per the WSJ was negative…’  ,  1.4 BILLION Spent On The Obamas In 2012 – British Taxpayers Only Spent 57.8 Million On The Royal Family   http://albertpeia.com/grifterobamaslivinglargeontaxpayerdime.htm  { Yeah! These are typical, mooching, failing (but fun-lovin’/party animals), unproductive niggers; and non-niggers should be outraged!  } While most of America is suffering through one the worst economic downturns in U.S. history, the Obamas are living the high life at your expense.  During 2011, U.S. taxpayers spent an astounding 1.4 billion dollars on the Obamas.  Meanwhile, British taxpayers only spent 57.8 million dollars on the entire royal family.  Does anyone else see something wrong with this picture?  So where did the 1.4 billion dollars go?  That money paid the salaries of their staff members, it paid for their transportation and housing costs, it paid for entertainment and vacations for the Obamas, and $102,000 was even spent on a "dog handler" for the family dog Bo.  In his new book entitled "Presidential Perks Gone Royal: Your Taxes Are Being Used For Obama's Re-election", author Robert Keith Gray reveals some absolutely shocking details about the enormous amounts of U.S. taxpayer money that are being…’  ,  Proof Positive Than Central Banks and Central Planning Fail   http://albertpeia.htm/proofofcentralbankplanningfailure.htm ‘Regarding the recent Central Bank coordinated intervention, the key take-away point is that the ECB and US Federal Reserve attempted “shock and awe” tactics with their latest announcements by throwing out words such as “unlimited” and “open-ended.”The implication here was that the Central Banks would do everything they could to prop up the financial markets. However, as has been the case with every Central Bank intervention, there are unintended consequences (ie., inflation, stagflation, etc.). The first unintended consequence concerns the fact that both programs are essentially a form of “intervention to infinite.” The problem with this is that the primary driver of stock prices over the last three years has been the anticipation of more monetary stimulus from Central Banks.Indeed, the New York Fed itself has openly admitted that were it to remove the market moves that occurred around Fed FOMC meetings (the times when the Fed announced new programs or hinted at doing so), the S&P 500 would be at 600 today.So, by announcing programs that will be on going in nature, both the ECB and the Fed have removed the anticipation of future Central Bank intervention from investors’ psychologies. This could become highly problematic, especially if these latest announcements turn out to be duds.Speaking of which…Spain’s ten-year bond yield has broken back above 6%. To see Spain’s sovereign bond yields rising like this after the ECB announced it would essentially provide “unlimited” buying as support is simply stunning. And it indicates in plain terms that the ECB’s program was in fact a dud.In other news, we find that even barely literate high school students have a better understanding of job creation than Washington.In case you missed it, recently the US public school system has implemented a series of reforms to mandate what students should eat based on a healthier diet.The program was spearheaded by First Lady Michelle Obama, who, despite not being a nutritionist or having any sort of medical degree, has decided she knows what’s best for children in terms of their diets.As a result of the reforms, the cost of school lunches has risen by $0.20-$0.25 per plate. And students don’t like it. In fact, many of them have begun protesting the reforms saying that they’re hungry and the food portions are not enough…’    ,   Why Does Our Society Look Down On Unemployed Men So Much?   http://albertpeia.com/uslooksdownonunemployedmen.htm ,  First United Bank is 43rd 2012 U.S. bank failure   ,  Chicago PMI drops into negative territory in Sept.  ,  Alternatives to the dollar  Marketwatch  Elizabeth O'Brien  ‘The Fed’s latest stimulus program, QE3, has boosted risky assets like stocks and commodities at the expense of the dollar. Here are some other options…the currency’s long-term downward trajectory will continue, according to these dollar bears. Many have looked to gold as the dollar began its slide this summer. Drew Kanaly, a financial adviser at Kanaly Trust in Houston, increased his clients’ allocations to gold through the SPDR Gold Shares exchange-traded fund GLD -0.26%  . Some have looked to capitalize on other currencies’ appreciation relative to the dollar. Donald Dempsey, a financial adviser in Williston, Vt., shifted part of his clients’ international bond portfolios out of the iShares JPMorgan USD Emerging Markets Bond fund EMB +0.34%   and into the WisdomTree Emerging Markets Local Debt fund ELD -0.15%  . The former gives investors exposure to international bonds but not their currencies, whereas the latter does not hedge out, or erase, the currency risk. Many emerging-market currencies have rallied recently, and the WisdomTree fund allows investors to benefit from this appreciation along with any changes in the underlying bonds’ prices (in the opposite direction, investors get hurt if the currency declines). Anthony Welch, manager of the $12.8 million Currency Strategies fund FOREX -0.10%  , increased his exposure in mid-July to the Canadian and Australian dollars, which have also recently outperformed the greenback. Both countries’ economies are heavily tied to commodities, many of which are priced in the U.S. dollar and tend to rally when the dollar declines. Over the past five years, the Canadian and Australian dollars have risen against both the euro and the U.S. dollar. (The U.S. dollar’s movements are often measured against the U.S. dollar index, a basket of other currencies of which the euro makes up 57%.)…it makes sense to adjust portfolios to reflect America’s weakened economic position.

14 Signs That The World Economy Is Getting Weaker    http://albertpeia.com/14signsworldeconomyweaker.htm The United States is not the only one with massive economic problems right now.  The truth is that just about wherever you look around the globe things are getting even worse.  China is experiencing a substantial economic slowdown, and Japan has resorted to yet another round of money printing in an effort to keep the Japanese economy moving.  Unemployment in Europe continues to get even worse, and the riots this week in Spain and in Greece have been absolutely frightening at times.  In the United States there are a whole host of signs that another recession is approaching, and the number of American CEOs that say that they plan to eliminate jobs in the coming months is rapidly rising  ,  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   QE TRUMPS HORRIBLE ECONOMIC DATA 9-27-12 You couldnt have dreamed-up the crummy economic data received Thursday. The leading stinkers were GDP (1.3% vs 1.7% expected) and Durable Goods Orders (-13.2% vs -5% expected & prior 4.2%). Along for the ride were Pending Homes Sales (-2.6% vs .3% expected & prior 2.4%) and Jobless Claims which beat (359K vs376K expected & prior revised higher to 382K). The bullish spin for the poor GDP data was it was caused by the drought that doesnt jive with the calendar, as it doesnt support such a claim. The poor Pending Home Sales data was spun by bulls as caused by a lack of inventory. Of course this is hilarious since if you asked any banker with REO and theyll tell you they have plenty of inventory. Jobless Claims data looked positive on the surface but headline numbers showed claims down by 141K but cumulative revisions show only 2K lower in 2012 as chart below shows. In an election year unsurprised the Department of Labor has asserted it may have underestimated job growth by 380K. (There will be plenty of spin there.) http://albertpeia.com/joblessclaimspinandreality.gif

Spain of course remains in the headlines as the budget process is slowly being unveiled. It seems to be more about buying some more time than doing anything constructive. Frankly theyre borrowing from their social security trust fund, which might see them through October. Per BNP with a hat tip to Zero Hedge:

Spain is edging closer to asking for financial aid, but it’s a long, slow process. We think Spain will find it very difficult to hold out longer than October, though a transfer from the social-security stabilization fund could give it some room to maneuver.

After today’s announcement of the 2013 budget and planned structural reforms, the next event is tomorrow’s publication of the results of the bottom-up bank audit.

The Eurogroup should take a broadly positive view on the new measures, assuming it is given more detail, allowing the Spanish government to spin any bailout as a reward for form. This could remove part of the stigma associated with it, at least domestically.

The country’s regional elections on 21 October could be the last obstacle to an aid request. Another glitch, however, is Catalonia’s call for an early election in November and a potential referendum on regional autonomy.

Any unused funds from the bank bailout may be used to lower the final cost of a sovereign bailout, something that should appease Germany. But we don’t think these funds will be enough and expect Spain

Small Business Owners Understand the Economy Better Than Our Fed Chairman

September 27, 2012 http://gainspainscapital.com

 

http://albertpeia.com/businessownersknoweconomybetterthanfedben.htm

Since the Great Crisis began in 2007 the Fed/ Feds have done the following:

Cutting interest rates from 5.25-0.25% (Sept ’07-today).

The Bear Stearns deal/ taking on $30 billion in junk mortgages (Mar ’08).

Opening various lending windows to investment banks (Mar ’08).

Hank Paulson spends $400 billion on Fannie/ Freddie (Sept ’08).

The Fed takes over insurance company AIG for $85 billion (Sept ’08).

The Fed doles out $25 billion for the automakers (Sept ’08)

The Feds kick off the $700 billion TARP program (Oct ’08)

The Fed buys commercial paper from non-financial firms (Oct ’08)

The Fed offers $540 billion to backstop money market funds (Oct ’08)

The Fed agrees to back up to $280 billion of Citigroup’s liabilities (Oct ’08).

$40 billion more to AIG (Nov ’08)

The Fed backstops $140 billion of Bank of America’s liabilities (Jan ’09)

Obama’s $787 Billion Stimulus (Jan ’09)

QE 1 buys $1.25 trillion in Treasuries and mortgage debt (March ’09)

QE lite buys $200-300 billion of Treasuries and mortgage debt (Aug ’10)

QE 2 buys $600 billion in Treasuries (Nov ’10)

Operation Twist 2 (Nov ’11)

QE 3 buys $40 billion in Mortgage Backed Securities every month from now on (Sept. ’12)

Thats one heck of a list. And the worst part is I know Ive left something out somewhere.

However, despite this incredible intervention, the economy remains in the toilet. Indeed, adding to the more evidence that the alleged recovery is in fact a load of BS category we have the latest survey of small business owners. Small businesses (50 employees or more) account for 75% of job creation in the US.

67 percent say there is too much uncertainty in the market today to expand, grow or hire new workers.

69 percent of small business owners and manufacturers say President Obama’s Executive Branch and regulatory policies have hurt American small businesses and manufacturers.

55 percent say they would not start a business today given what they know now and in the current environment.

54 percent say other countries like China and India are more supportive of their small businesses and manufacturers than the United States.

Instead of smoothing the way, our government continues to erect more barriers to growth through burdensome regulations that increase costs for small businesses and all Americans, NFIB president Dan Danner said…’  ,  How Crony Capitalism (Or The 'Undiluted Lunacy' Of The Fed) Corrupts The Free Markets  ,  How The Fed Crushed China's Ability To Join The Ease-Fest  ,  Why The Wealth Effect Won't Support The US 'Recovery'  ,  Santelli Vs.

Guest Post: What Happened To Virtue?

In the midst of the Great Depression, Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon famously advised President Hoover to “liquidate labor, liquidate stocks, liquidate farmers, liquidate real estate” instead of propping each industry up with tax dollars.  This liquidation doctrine would “purge the rottenness out of the system” and make certain that “people will work harder” and “live a more moral life.”  Contrary to popular belief, Hoover did not take Mellon’s advice and went forth with his own version of the New Deal that gave relief to farmers and supported wage rates in certain industries.  These efforts, which were exacerbated under the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt, effectively prevented the market from clearing.  The boom of the late 1920s that was driven by the Federal Reserve’s monetary inflation was not allowed to bust.  Instead of liquidating the debt and allowing the economy to reach a sound footing, both the Hoover and Roosevelt administrations attempted to manage it back to health.  The result was the longest period of unemployment ever recorded in American history.

 

 

Durable Goods Orders Cliff-Dive Most Since Jan 2009 But Initial Claims Beat

Durable Goods orders expectations were pushed down to a dramatically low -5.0% after last month's dismal reading and the PMI data since but the print at -13.2% is mind-blowingly bad. Perhaps this is the sneak peek that Ben had? This drop is the largest since January 2009 when world trade had fallen off a cliff. It appears the seasonal-adjustments are the driver of the plunge as NSA is -7.2% (still very weak for August). We are sure there will be calls for the V-Shaped recovery from this but with a very different stimulus-environment around the world (i.e. jaded and soaked in much more debt), we suspect that will be less than forthcoming. The sub-indices were all weaker than expected but we note that defense -40% and non-defense aircraft orders plunged. On the bright side, all this terrible production data inspired less layoffs as Initial claims beat expectations modestly falling to its lowest (best) in two months - sigh.

Will Israel Blow Up Something and Falsely Blame It On Iran? Posted by: George Washington Post date: 09/27/2012 - Will Israel Launch a False Flag Against Iran to Start War?   { Yeah … what if they started a war and nobody else came.  After all, israel will always do what’s good for israel and israelis, everyone be damned  (  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm    )  ; but, for quite some time, what’s good for israel  is not so good for the rest of the world, and america particularly. Indeed, israeli agents were caught cheering the 9-11 world trade tower debacle on the banks of the Hudson. Mission accomplished? It was rather pathetic if not absurd to see netanayahoo talk about the ‘Iranian red line’ when israel’s past the red line many times over with their illegal nuke program and deployment of in excess of 200 illegal, undeclared nukes. }

 

 

 

 

9-26-12  There is No Engine For Global Growth Pt 3 (the US) September 26, 2012 http://gainspainscapital.com  http://albertpeia.com/theresnoengineforglobalgrowth3.htm  The following is excerpt from a recent issue of Private Wealth Advisory. In it I outline why the world is entering a stagflationary disaster. To find out more about Private Wealth Advisory and how it can help you crush the market Click Here!   {  I feel compelled to add here what I felt was more than just a leap of faith by Mr. Summers who has in a recent public issue stated that he believes the biggest frauds on wall street will be brought to justice. Wow! Thats really all I can say. The next thing he might say is that pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america et als, along with the manipulated fraudulent securities markets, are legitimate. Wow! In his fact-filled renderings, focus more on Mr. Summers facts, fact-based inferences and conclusions, and less on his unsupportable opinions as, ie., prosecutions of the biggest wall street frauds are acomin, or that meaningfully lawless americas suddenly grown scruples. Wow! } In the last few days weve assessed how both China and Europe are no longer engines for global growth. So what about the US? By all counts, the latest ISM (a measure of manufacturing in the US) was a complete and total disaster. In August the ISM hit 49. Anything below 50 is considered a recessionary rating.However, things are even worse below the surface. The ISM is made up of several components. Its Production component is back to May 2009 levels. The New Orders component is back to April 2009 levels.And worse of all, Prices Paid is up to 54, up from a reading of just 39 in July. In simple terms this tells us that inflation is hitting lift off in the US at the very same time that we are entering a recession that could be on par with that of 2008. And with corn and soybean prices at or near record highs, we could be on the verge of a stagflationary disaster combined with a food crisis at the very same time. We get additional confirmation of a major economic contraction from corporate earnings. Recently weve seen earnings forecast cuts from Fed Ex, Bed Bath and Beyond, Proctor and Gamble, Adobe, Starbucks, McDonalds and more.  Indeed, when you remove financials, S&P 500 earnings FELL year over year for 2Q12. This is hardly indicative of a strong economy. The fact a record number of Americans are on food stamps doesnt bode well either. And the Rasmussen Employment Index indicates worker confidence is at levels not seen since the FALL OF 2008!  All of this, combined with the following:

1)   Median income today is lower than it was during at the end of 2009 (when the recession supposedly ended)

2)   The percentage of Americans on food stamps has increased from 11% to nearly 15%

3)   The average unemployment duration has increased from 30 weeks to nearly 40 weeks

4)   The civilian employment to population ratio hasnt budged

5)   Industrial production has yet to exceed its former peak (a first in post WW-II recoveries)

And this has happened despite the Feds massive intervention in the markets/economy…’ ,  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com    EUROZONE CONTAGION RETURNS TO MARKETS 9-26-12 Sure were back from a brief trip but were not a big deal. No, its the rascals in the eurozone who return to annoy us like a bad habit. Spain is front and center now even as rioters are also out in full force in Greece. The issue in Spain is quite simple. Spain needs a bailout but in order to qualify they must meet conditions and thats politically toxic to the public. More austerity is something leaders just cant sell although its said to be working on this behind closed doors. Even the old province of Catalonia is threatening to hold a referendum to secede from Spain.To make matters worse it isnt just the eurozone making things worse but in China as well. Shanghai indexes fell to levels not seen since 2009 and are down nearly 10% on the quarter. This is the poor result even as the PBOC cut bank reserve requirements and borrowing costs twice this year. In the U.S. the Fed is underwriting the U.S. budget deficit through its QE operations. This is like having economic policies in the I.C.U. and on a feeding tube. When the ink runs dry the patient hits the fiscal cliff a la Thelma & Louise.There was some excitement over New Home Sales data released Wednesday. Homes sold disappointed dropping (373K vs 380 expected) but prices paid rose 11.2% which was a surprise. { No! Not so surprising given the over-printed fiat currency/dollar debasement strategies being employed even as fewer and fewer are employed. }  Nevertheless the chart from the Fed shows things still trolling along the bottom.  http://albertpeia.com/bottomfeeders.gif  The big market boost from ECB and Fed QE may have run its course for now. Perhaps the best we can hope for now is to just churn about here barring more poor results. The Draghi & Bernanke Puts should underpin markets but sometimes you just cant overcome the bad news with money printing. Even Bernanke said the Fed has done all it can and now we await the election and the path forward with whoever wins. Whoever wins wont have an easy job given a lack of political consensus.After a large rally its logical to see some profit-taking and a more cautious wait and see approach. In this regard weve seen reversals with the dollar (UUP); gold (GLD); equities (SPY); commodities (DBC); energy (USO); bonds (TLT); emerging markets (EEM) and, in the eurozone certainly (EZU).

Guest Post: Globalist Think Tank Suggests Using Engineered Event As Excuse For War With Iran

What is interesting about this discussion by the Washington Institute For Near East Policy, a Neocon (Globalist) think-tank, is that its primary purpose is not necessarily to debate the current political elements of the Iranian question.  They aren't contemplating the viability or morality of a war with Iran.  Instead, they are attempting to devise strategies by which the government could CONVINCE the American public and the world that a war with Iran is the "right thing to do", even if it means fabricating their own justification.  For them, the war is a forgone conclusion, and they will do anything to make it a reality.

 

 

California Screaming As 4th Muni Bankruptcy Looms in Atwater

Whether Atwater, California will join the prodigious ranks of Stockton, San Bernardino, and Mammoth Lakes to become the 4th Muni bankruptcy is up for vote on October 3rd (before a $2mm bond payment in November). As Bloomberg notes, the 28,000-strong Merced county town is suffering under the same weight of public employee costs, lost revenue, and a stagnant economy leaving it with a $3.3 million budget deficit. While some put their hope in the FB IPO, perhaps Bernanke should have mandated investment in AAPL for all these municipal comptrollers? The median income is 19% below the national average as the foreclosure crisis - which saw Atwater's median home price drop by more than half - has depleted property-tax revenues dramatically. "We just started negotiating with our unions and they are going to have to take a major cut," Mayor Joan Faul said. "We hope that once we declare a fiscal emergency, that they will realize that we are definitely in an emergency. If they want to save all the jobs, everyone is going to have to take a cut,"

 

 

Less Than Expected 31,000 New Homes Sold In August; Dent "Recovery" Meme

Moments ago, the Census Bureau released the August new single-family house sales number: at 373,000 on an annualized basis, it missed expectations of a rise to 380,000, and was down from a revised 374,000. This is only the second miss in 2012, and confirms that all talk of a housing recovery is misguided, and merely represents one particular segment of the housing market: that of existing home sales where buyers have all cash, are price indiscriminate, and are willing to take advantage of the NAR's exemptions from anti-money laundering provisions. I.e., US real estate is merely a place to park cash for those who have obtained it using questionable means. Looking at the number on a non-SAAR basis reveals that only 31,000 actual houses sold in August, of which 3,000 in the Northeast: surely a reason to keep on bidding up the builders into the stratosphere: fear not, actual sales will come. Eventually. Finally, and demonstrating that rich buyers focus primarily on dumping money into existing mansions, was the distribution of purchases by price bucket, which showed a (Z), or under 500 houses sold, in the $750,000+ category. This was the first time there was a (Z) in this bucket since February.

Breaking Down The Fiscal Cliff In 12 Charts

Investors remain convinced, it would seem, that the fiscal cliff will not happen because our great-and-good politicians in Washington know full-well that the economic repercussions will be too great. Even though Ben's foot is to the floor, he has stated that monetary policy will be unable to offset the negative economic impact of the tax hikes and spending cuts. The prospect of agreement among a deeply polarized politik and just as Goldman expects, we worry that the S&P 500 will fall sharply following the election once investors finally recognize the serious possibility that the 'fiscal-cliff-problem' will not be solved in a smooth manner. In order to clarify that thinking, Bloomberg Brief has provided 12 charts on the timelines, impact, uncertainty, and possibilities surrounding this most obvious of risk events.

 

 

July Case Shiller Beats And Misses At The Same Time

Some time ago, before China's hard landing was virtually assured (see Iron Ore prices), there was a period when its data was a veritable cornucopia of Schrodingerian ambivalence, with various economic indicators representing either growth or contraction at the same time. It appears that the modified wave-particle duality has just shifted to the US, whose housing segment is the latest patient of wave function collapse as the July Case Shiller index printed both a beat and a miss at the same time. The Top 20 composite index beat in the NSA Year over Year price change, which was +1.2%, on expectations of +1.05%, and up from a revised 0.59. However, it missed in the sequential Top 20 Composite price change, which printed at 0.44%, below expectations and half off the June price increase of 0.91%. In fact, as the chart below shows, the July increase was now the slowest sequential increase in the past 5 months, and at this rate, the August, or September data at the latest, will show a sequential decline in prices, as the euphoria from the Rent-to-REO fades, and as the massively pent up foreclosure inventory is finally forced to come to market and drag prices far below where the currently artificially propped up market "clears" (read Foreclosure Stuffing).

 

 

 

Chart Of The Day: Entitlements Or Growth

"Dollars spent on entitlements dwarf those spent on discretionary items such as education, and tower over net fixed business investment, which is partially responsible for greater productivity, business expansion and rising living standards. Periods with greater investment as a share of GDP are highly correlated with both faster economic growth and rising living standards. One risk to the U.S. economy is that rising entitlement spending will require the government to borrow from the finite amount of capital held by private savers, thus squeezing out private firms that need the capital to expand businesses and increase productivity."

The 4 Middle Eastern pictures above are from Saudi Arabia, not Iran. Same thing, you say?   Actually, Saudi Arabia is doing its best to overthrow Iran via terrorism, and is persecuting Christians and Jews much more than Iran.

Maybe we should learn a little bit more before deciding whether or not to bomb Iran?

Especially since the U.S. has been claiming for more than 30 years that Iran was on the verge of nuclear capability, and top American and Israeli defense and intelligence bosses say that bombing Iran will only increase the odds that Iran will actually build a nuclear weapon?

Postscript:   Iran obviously has problems and is far from perfect.  But given the tidal wave of propaganda in the news which is doing everything possible to demonize the enemy to justify war, we think it is valuable to provide some balance and perspective.

Perhaps this, more than anything, is the best visual of just what Bernanke's attempt to unclog the "bank plumbing" will look like in the end, even better than Zimbabwe coordinated 1 million man flush. The silver lining: at least they added to German GDP: if today's Ifo number is any indication, Germany desperately needs it.  ,    Meanwhile In Downtown Camden  As we reported earlier, Camden may be broke, the local police may now be history, unemployment may be 50%, it may be nothing more than one big crack cocaine depot and driving through downtown at less than 88 mph may be hazardous to your health, but that wasn't always the case.

Reflecting on some of the mind-blowingly crazy statistics of this market's recent inexorable rise, central bank balance sheet eruptions, and valuations; Kaminsky (an ex-PM as opposed to 'reporter') provides six clarifying words: "We know this will end ugly!" From the lack of credibility of any Fed exit, to the explosion of the monetary base, Gary moves back and forth from Japan as an ever-more-obvious template for our path past the Keynesian endpoint.

Last week we saw reality striking in Greece, where a section of Athens literally shut down after it ran out of all cash. Today, reality comes to the US, and specifically its poorest city, Camden, which is a twofer, doubling down also as America's deadliest city. It turns out Camden is about to become even deadliest-er, as its police force is set to be disbanded following a budget crisis in this effectively insolvent city.  ,  The Fed Is Systematically Destroying Social Security And The Retirement Plans Of Millions Posted by : ilene Post date: 09/24/2012 - SS Ponzi is approaching a cliff.  ,  Following QE8, Japanese Teachers' Pension Fund Goes All-In: Focus on 'Return' Not 'Risk'  Haven't we seen this picture before - and it didn't end well?  ,  Guest Post: QE For the People - What Else Could We Buy With $29 Trillion?  In a system that depends on lies and the credulity of the citizenry, the greatest lie is that the Federal Reserve's "quantitative easing" bailouts of the banks somehow help our citizens and communities   ,   Janjuah Stopped Out ‘…Nomura's Bob Janjuah remains 100% correct in his diagnosis and prognosis of the current 'grossest misallocation and mispricing of capital in the history of mankind'"...risk assets are in a bubble which of course can extend, but which can reverse sharply and suddenly.

In addition to that, EU’s Van Rompuy said that he sees tendency of losing the sense of urgency, likely pointing the finger at Spain which is yet to request monetary assistance to prevent another speculative attack. It remains unclear when the official request will be made, but there is a risk that the application will only take place after regional elections in late October or even after the Eurogroup meeting in November. Finally, German finance ministry spokesman said that leveraging the ESM to EUR 2trl, as reported by Der Spiegel over the weekend, is not realistic and called the report completely illusionary. As a result, peripheral bond yield spreads are wider, with Italian bonds underperforming as markets prepare for this week’s supply from the Treasury. Heading towards the North American cross over, EUR/USD is seen lower by around 75pips and is trading in close proximity to the 1.2900 level, with bids said to be placed below. Talk of dividend related buying in GBP/USD, as well as EU budget related selling in EUR/GBP by two different UK clearers helped support GBP/USD. Going forward, there are no major economic releases set for the second half of the session, but the BoE will conduct its latest APF and the Fed will buy between USD 1.5-2bln in its latest POMO.

ILLINOIS TEACHERS' PENSION FUND CUTS RATE OF RETURN TO 8% FROM 8.5%

It's amusing because these are the same teachers who were demanding, and received, higher pay - 17% higher over four years in fact - following a several day strike. It is even more amusing considering that in a fiscal year in which we saw QE2, Operation Twist 1 and 2, and LTRO 1 and 2, the nation's largest pension fund, Calpers, managed to eek out a measly 1% gain (and this is including the end of June surge following the then announced European bailout which turned out to be yet another dud). It is, however sadly, most amusing, because it may be a harbinger of something truly sad: the advent of the "PIIG bailout" to America, when a US state demands a Federal bailout. We have seen how eager Europe has been to bailout its insolvent nations. We are next about to see just how "united" the US is when its own solidarity is tested as state after state repeat the European bailout experience. But hey: at least we have the dollar so all should be well.  ,  How to Measure Strains Created by the New Financial Architecture  ,  The Gaping Maw Of Centrally-Planned Surreality  ,  Guest Post: QE3 And Bernanke's Folly - Part II  ,  Quad Witching Day Sends NYSE Volume Soaring To Highest In Over A Year  Between quarter-end, quad-witching, and the index-rebalancing, activity at the NYSE soared today. More than triple the average of the last few weeks, today's volume was the highest since the US downgrade last August - over 13 months ago - and given the downward pressure in prices into the close it seems more motivated sellers than buyers locking in anticipated Fed/ECB gains.  ,  Gold And Silver Trump US Equities In Q3 And Year-To-Date  ,  Will Nasdaq Be The Next Casualty Of The SEC's Anti-Latency Arbitrage Push?  Back in 2009 Zero Hedge was first the only, and shortly thereafter, one of very few non-conformist voices objecting to pervasive high frequency trading and other type of quantitative market manipulation in the form of Flash Trading (which has recently reemerged in yet another form of frontrunning known as "Hide not Slide" practices) quote stuffing, and naturally latency arbitrage: one of the most subversive means to rob the less than sophisticated investor blind, due to an illegal coordination between market markers, exchanges and regulators, which effectively encouraged a two-tier market (one for the ultra fast frontrunning professionals, and one for everyone else). A week ago we were amused to see that the SEC charged the NYSE with a wristslap, one for $5 million dollars and where the NYSE naturally neither admitted nor denied guilt, accusing it of doing precisely what we said it, and all others, had been doing for years: namely getting paid by wealthy traders, those using the prop data feed OpenBook Ultra and other paid systems, to create and perpetuate a two-tiered market, all the while the regulator, i.e., the SEC was paid to look the other way. This action was nothing but a desperate, and futile, attempt to regain some investor confidence in the market. It has failed, and since said "enforcement" action has done nothing to restore confidence, expect to see more exchanges slapped with fines for actively perpetuating latency arbitrage opportunities for "some" clients. Well, since the SEC will be desperate to come up with more means of "restoring credibility" of both the market and its regulator, another exchange it may want to look at is the NASDAQ, which as Nanex demonstrates, may well have been engaging in comparable (most likely not pro-bono) latency arbitrage benefiting some: those paying for its direct feed aka TotalView, and thus not harming others, or those relying on the Consolidated Feed (UQDF) for data dissemination. 

 

On Santelli's Queasiness About Bernanke's Quantitative-EasinessBetween CNBC's Rick Santelli and PIMCO's Mohammed El-Erian, this brief clip succinctly sums up the 'less than ideal' reality of Bernanke's all-in bet and how the world is trying to 'trade' it. Santelli analogizes: "Visualize the biggest fire hose in the world, 20 miles away from a little Geranium plant? Now this hose is going and going and going, and ultimately, that Geranium plant gets a little bit of water but everything around it and leading up to it for miles around is just underwater. That's QE, in my opinion." To which El-Erian retorts: "at what point do you tell investors stop focusing on the benefits and make the collateral damage the investment theme?" It seems, given gold's outperformance, that this is exactly what is occurring as the hose-pipe's flood spills out everywhere.

 

Art Cashin And Dick Fisher Expose The Farce That America's Corrupt And Bought Congress Has Become Dick Fisher speaks: "Just recently, in a hearing before the Senate, your senator and my Harvard classmate, Chuck Schumer, told Chairman Bernanke, You are the only game in town. I thought the chairman showed admirable restraint in his response. I would have immediately answered, No, senator, you and your colleagues are the only game in town. For you and your colleagues, Democrat and Republican alike, have encumbered our nation with debt, sold our children down the river and sorely failed our nation. Sober up. Get your act together. Illegitimum non carborundum; get on with it. Sacrifice your political ambition for the good of our countryfor the good of our children and grandchildren. For unless you do so, all the monetary policy accommodation the Federal Reserve can muster will be for naught."

This from the record holder for fundraisers, 151 and counting. Then there’s the 100 plus rounds of golf in addition to being famously over-vacationed while in office. It’s laughable to hear him blame congress for his lack of accomplishments when the reality is that he ‘really wasn’t there’ for any of it. For wobama the presidency is just endless debate, rhetoric, campaigning, vacationing, soundbites from the teleprompted speeches, jive-talk, b***s***, and ‘choom fantasy’. He’s a total fraud and failure and anyone who buys into election-year desperation / promises, etc., is just a fool of the worst kind!   AP: ‘…

The bill would have created a path to citizenship for many young illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children. Last week, Obama announced plans to stop deporting illegal immigrants who would have qualified for the DREAM Act. The policy change does not include a path to citizenship…’ Then there’s the other meretricious ‘wobama desperation hail mary’ that once again falls short. Indeed, as an investor, one analyzes earnings, projects prospective earnings over a 3-5 year horizon, and the quality of the earnings along macro economic factors which are affected by ‘political considerations’. Does anyone remember the honorable Ross Perot who warned of NAFTA’s effect on american jobs even as the democrat administration et als were hell-bent on passing same? Should Romney have breached his legal duty to shareholders and invested in companies with poor earnings prospects? After all, in the financial / security analysis step of projecting the income statement, prospective labor costs figure prominently in the bottomline. In sum, Romney took conditions as he found them, and made the prudent choices which as per his legal duty were optimal for those who put their trust in him. For those who put their trust in proven failure wobama, all they have to show for such misplaced trust are broken campaign promises, now insurmountable record deficit spending exceeding all the presidents since Eisenhower combined to obfuscate what clearly has been wobama’s unequivocal failure. ]

However, the Feds QE 3 program, combined with the ECBs OMT program, (both of which are open ended or unlimited in scope), have taken things to a whole new level. Which is why we need to be concerned not with QE, but with UC: Unintended Consequences. The Fed is largely composed of academics with little if any professional/ banking experience.

The Blob oozed through the halls of government, seeking, through its glutinous embrace, to immobilize the legislative and regulatory apparatus, thereby preserving the status quo. The executive jets of the Wall Street air force flew sortie after sortie, transporting high-ranking emissaries from new York to Washington to meet with the SEC, [Senator Chris] Dodd and [Senator Richard] Shelby staff, and the staff of other senators on the Banking Committee. Some of the executives, no doubt less enthusiastically, even met with Josh and me. The research companies and market experts Wall Street employs also raised their voices against us. At times it got ugly. Ted was called a crackpot and dangerously uninformed. He was accused of politicizing market regulation (a strange notion considering he wasnt running for election). It seemed as if Wall Street, which wasnt used to someone on Capitol Hill asking in-depth questions about arcane issues, wished to silence or marginalize its critics. Industry people would always ask me, What got Kaufman so interested in this stuff? Used to politicians whose top priorities were to please their home-state business interests and raise money, they had trouble fathoming that Ted was so interested because it was the right thing to do. He believed in fair markets. And because he was genuinely concerned about emerging issues that threatened the stock market, where half of all Americans keep a sizable portion of their retirement savings.   ,  Jim Grant: We Are Now All Labrats Of Bernanke And The Fourth Branch Of Government .."The Experiment Economy".."We are all living in a land of speculation and manipulation" is Grant's summary of the current predicament of anyone who wishes to trade these "markets" and it may as well be the best synopsis of the New (ab)normal..  ,  Guest Post: How to Navigate An Economy Weighed Down By Government Meddling and Cronyism  ,  Meet Robert Rubin: The Man In Charge of failure  ,  Art Cashin's Post Mortem On Japan's Now Failed QE 8  ,  Philly Fed Posts Fifth Consecutive Negative Print, As Hopium Soars By Most Since 1991  The Philly Fed's current September Business Indicators index, long ignored when bearish and cheered when bullish, came slightly above expectations of -4.5, printing higher from last week's -7.1 to -1.9. This was the fifth consecutive negative print. And while there were no major highlights in the index, whose New Orders rose from -5.5 to 1.0 at the expense of Shipments and Inventories, both of which imploded to worse then -20, the real story is the Six Months expectations index, which exploded from 12.5 to 41.2: this was the biggest spike may not ever, but certainly in the past 22 years! Is there any wonder why everyone is transfixed with hope that Q4 will be the deus ex that saves the US economy. And so we are back to being a hopium driven economy - when reality sucks, there may not be much change, but there is always hope that finally, the central planners will get it right, and the future will be so bright you've gotta wear Made in China shades. One word of caution: if the so very much anticipated and 100% priced in Q4 recovery does not materialize, and with the fiscal cliff and debt ceiling issues still unresolved, get the hell out of Dodge, as the spread between hope and reality comes crashing.

 

Bad News Is Bad News Again We explained last week why the initial exuberance from QEternity was likely to fade since it basically removed all suspense from futures FOMC announcements - i.e. that bad news would once again become bad news as opposed to bad news stoking the hopes or more-er QE. Well this morning's bad news - to wit: China PMI, Europe PMI, and US initial claims - has indeed had a detrimental impact on S&P futures as they approach fresh post-FOMC lows.  ,  Odds Of Avoiding Recession: One In Thirty  ,  Initial Claims Print Is So Bad, It Is Actually Good, That Market Sees It As Bad  Today's initial claims print was the 5th week out of 6 in which expectations missed: instead of coming in at the consensus number of 375K, down from last week's 382K, the BLS reported a miss to expectations of 7K, resulting in a seasonally adjusted number of 382K, or what is now once again secular shift higher. But, wait big miss was actually good news: why? Because the ever data-massaging BLS was kind enough to revise last week's print upward (for the 86th week in a row) from 382K to 385K (just as we predicted last week) which in turn led to such farcical headlines as " U.S. weekly jobless claims drop slightly to 382,000" from the WSJ. And so bad news is now great headlines: Orwell would be proud.

Reality Strikes As Italy Slashes Economic Growth, Hikes Deficit Forecast

For all those who thought the smooth-talking, avuncular Goldman operative Mario Monti would never lie when he said "Italy is fine", we have some bad news. He did:

*ITALY REVISES 2012 GDP TO -2.4% FROM -1.2%

*ITALY REVISES 2013 GDP TO -0.2% FROM GROWTH OF 0.5%

*ITALY RAISES 2012 DEFICIT TARGET TO 2.6% FROM 1.7%

*ITALY REVISES 2013 DEFICT TO 1.6% OF GDP FROM 0.5%

*ITALY SEES 2012 DEBT AT 126.4% OF GDP, 2013 DEBT AT 127.1%

 

 

9-19-12  Its Time to Air Out Ben Bernankes Dirty Laundry    http://albertpeia.com/rainmanhelicopterbensdirtylaundry.htm   ,   What Mitt Romney Also Said: A Glimpse Of The Endgame?   ZeroHedge.com  'Krugman's Kryptonite' Pedro Schwartz On Creating Money Out Of Thin Air  "A serious inflationary disaster will only be prevented if governments succeed in reducing their deficits and stop selling bonds" is how the infamous destroyer of Krugman, Pedro Schwartz, describes the dangerous 'tennis match' being played between The Fed and The ECB. In an excellent interview with GoldMoney's James Turk, the Spanish 'Austrian' economist talks about bank regulation, the creation of money out of thin air, and the beauty of a trult free market system. From fictional reserve lending to the fragility (and boom-bust cycles) of our financial system, the mild-mannered 'Keynesian-Krusher' concludes that "there has to be a change in social mentality - so that people realize that nothing is free, and the government has to shrink."  ,  The Fate Of The Rally Now Rests In The Hands Of The US Consumer  A funny thing happened on the way to QEternity - multiples expanded by an aggressive 2x to reach their highest in two years as the print-gasm hope was 'priced in' to the nominal value of the US equity indices (and fundamentals didn't matter). During this period, which was all about anticipation of the Fed, the real economy (that is earnings and revenues) have been disappointing. From here, now that Ben has blown his eternal wad, it is up to EPS and multiples - which leaves us with a little problem. As the chart below shows, the next few quarters are the very picture of hopes, dreams, and unicorns as Q4 EPS is somehow magically expected to stop a straight line decline in YoY profits - and soar by 10%. The driver of this miracle is the good old US Consumer - as discretionary spending now accounts for 100% of the expected EPS growth and 300% of the revenue growth for the post-election, pre-year-end extravaganza that is the lame-duck 'fiscal-cliff'-denying lead up to the holidays. As we said yesterday, either you believe in math or you believe in magic.  ,  Bonds Up, Stocks Up (Just)  Equity markets drifted from an unch open to the overnight post-BoJ highs - albeit in an 8 point range and low volumes once again, before giving it all back in the last few minutes - as it dumped to VWAP (again!!). In other 'real' markets, Treasuries rallied - led by the long-bond playing catch up, the USD sold off on the day - aside from a post-BoJ recovery higher which was dissolved into the US day session open, Gold/Silver/Copper inched higher as the USD weakened but Oil continued its post-QE ritual sacrifice - now down 5.5% from pre-FOMC (back under $92) as the Saudi's promise more supply and the IEA build was heavy. Credit markets underperformed - but we suspect this was pre-roll moves and is not too signal-prone. Some standouts in the unreal world of our efficient equity markets, JCP's remarkable rip-and-dip, AAPL's rapid devolution from record highs to VWAP and an unch close at the last minute on huge volume, and QCOR's multiple-halt day ending down 48%. VIX (fell modestly) and the S&P 500 are back in sync and tracked each other all day. After the day-session close (small green), S&P futures drifted further down and ended practically unchanged - on a heavy volume push.  ,  Norfolk Southern, Adobe Cut Outlook  ,  South African Violence Returns As All Miners Demand Pay Hike  ,  Sentiment Nearing Record Bullishness  While we are bombarded with talking heads telling us that there is money-on-the-sidelines and everyone is so bearish with the market climbing a wall of worry, the reality - as we see across multiple asset classes - is that investors are overweight risk assets (e.g. credit investors overweight IG and HY and mutual fund cash at record lows), near-extreme levels of bullishness (AAII and Put-Call Ratios), near extreme levels of non-bearishness (AAII), and yet credit investors believe markets are overvalued (though still buying) even as IG and HY bonds are seeing near-record highs in advance-decline.  ,  Gundlach Is Not A Fan Of Socialism, Thinks Apple Is "Over-Bought"  "the obsession with Apple is a truly remarkable social phenomenon - the stock is over-believed and over-bought. There is NO exit for the Fed, QE3 will be ineffective, and it is more likely that the Fed buys all the Treasury bonds that exist."  ,  Guest Post: The Inevitable Decline Of Retail  ,  Prepare For A 15% Food Price Surge, Rabobank Warns  The record US, and global, drought has come and gone but its aftereffects are only now going to be felt, at least according to a new Rabobank report, which asserts that food prices are about to soar by 15% or more following mass slaughter of farm animals which will cripple supply once the current inventory of meat is exhausted. From Sky News: "The worst drought in the US for almost a century, combined with droughts in South America and Russia, have hit the production of crops used in animal feed - such as corn and soybeans - especially hard, the report said. As a result farmers have begun slaughtering more pigs and cattle, temporarily increasing the meat supply - but causing a steep rise in the price of meat in the long-term as production slows. "Farmers producing meat are simply not making enough money at the moment because of the high cost of feed," Nick Higgins, commodity analyst at Rabobank, told Sky News. "As a result they will reduce their stock - both by slaughtering more animals and by not replacing them." Somewhat ironically. food prices are now being kept at depressed prices as the "slaughtered" stock clears the market. However once that is gone look for various food-related prices to soar: a process which will likely take place in early 2013, just in time to add to the shock from the Fiscal Cliff, which even assuming a compromise, will detract from the spending capacity of US (and by implication global) consumers.  ,  Guest Post: The Trouble With Printing Money  ,  ECB Debasement Is Akin To Work Of Devil Risk Of Rapid Currency Depreciation  ,  August Housing Starts Less Than Expected, Rise From Downward Revised Print  ,  JPY10 Trillion Intervention Half-Life: 5 Hours; Full Fade: 9 Hours  ,  Chinese Protesters Chant "Down With US Imperialists", Attack Car Of US Ambassador In Beijing

However, when a 10 ounce 999.9 gold bar bearing the stamp of the reputable Swiss Produits Artistiques Métaux Précieux (PAMP, with owner MTP) and a serial number (serial #038892, likely rehypothecated in at least 10 gold ETFs across the world but that's a different story), mysteriously emerges in the heart of the world's jewerly district located on 47th street in Manhattan, things get real quick. Moments ago, Myfoxny reported that a 10-ounce gold bar costing nearly $18,000 turned out to be a counterfeit. The discovery was made by the dealer Ibrahim Fadl, who bought the PAMP bar in question from a merchant who has sold him real gold before. "But he heard counterfeit gold bars were going around, so he drilled into several of his gold bars worth $100,000 and saw gray tungsten -- not gold. The bar was filled with tungsten, which weighs nearly the same as gold but costs just over a dollar an ounce."  ,  Bundesbank's Weidmann Likens Draghi's OMT To "Devil's Work"  ,  Bernanke, The Blind Archer  ,  Guest Post: Corporate Profits Squeeze For Large Caps  ,  Your Taxes At Work: All You Need To Know About Who Pays What Taxes In The US  since the charts speak for themselves.

The stay will remain in effect until at least September 28, when a three-judge appeals court panel is expected to begin addressing the issue. It would appear the total fascist takeover of Amerika is drawing nearer by the day.   ,   Head Of MF Global Equity Derivatives Trading Launches Hedge Fund  Several weeks ago we learned that 2011's vaporizer extraordinaire Jon Corzine is contemplating starting his own hedge fund: presumably one that invests all its capital in Italian 2 year bonds, charges 2 and 20, and then disappears when all LP capital blows up in an AUM supernova. Today, we learn that the stigma freeze associated with all other former MF Global trading whizkids has officially melted, as the former head of equity derivatives of MF Global has just launched a new hedge fund. From Bloomberg: "Daniel Bystrom, former head of equity derivatives trading at MF Global Inc., and Neil Boyarsky plan to start Hawksfield Capital LLC, a New York-based equity volatility hedge fund, by the end of this month. Hawksfield Capital will start with $10 million to $20 million of Bystrom and Boyarskys own money, as well as capital from friends and family, Bystrom said in a telephone interview. The fund will deliver returns that are uncorrelated and often negatively correlated to the returns of the typical hedge- fund strategy, Bystrom said.

"I agree with you entirely that the Soviet dictators would like to bring about our economic collapse and, as you know, inflation is perhaps the greatest force for arraying the various sectors of a capitalistic economy against each other. John Maynard Keynes stated in his 'Economic Consequences of the Peace' (1919): 'Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency...Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of Society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.'"  ,  The Fed's Financial Repression 'Game'

Much of this has to do with leadership uncertainty as a changeover is at hand. The current government seems caught between stimulus given weakening economic data and inflation concerns occasioned by food, energy and housing prices. This data in turn caused eurozone stocks to fall which then hurt U.S. markets. In the U.S. the poor Empire State Mfg Survey results (-10.41 vs -2.00 expected & prior -5.85) continues to indicate economic contraction. For bulls this may be QE friendly (bad news is good theme) but given the rally already experienced caused some profit-taking.We should remember previous QE programs havent succeeded in solving the economys primary problemsunemployment and protecting the purchasing power of the dollar (energy & food). I would say the bloom isnt off the QE rose just yet but markets were much overbought and needing a break with some reflection.Not tolerating any break is the real U.S. stock market doing business as Apple (AAPL) which continues to ignore its lesser members and rally. Its said nearly 2M new iPhone 5s were ordered already. Imagine all the new phone plans buyers have to negotiate. Many Americans previously tied down by car debt (and still are) now have cell phone provider debts to deal with as well.Everything that was up last week begins this week lower and vice versa. There may have been some kind of trading event at the CME regarding crude oil which dove sharply in minutes. The pulled other commodity prices sharply lower as well. Analysts were hard-pressed to explain it.Volume Monday returned to its former light volume ways perhaps highlighting a new normal. Breadth per the WSJ was negative relieving some short-term overbought conditions.  ,  University of Colorado prediction model points to big Romney win  Read more: http://dailycaller.com/2012/08/23/university-of-colorado-prediction-model-points-to-big-romney-win/#ixzz26ZnrMS7E  ,  How China's Rehypothecated "Ghost" Steel Just Vaporized, And What This Means For The World Economy  Zerohedge.com  One of the key stories of 2011 was the revelation, courtesy of MF Global, that no asset in the financial system is "as is", and instead is merely a copy of a copy of a copy- rehypothecated up to an infinite number of times (if domiciled in the UK) for one simple reason: there are not enough money-good, credible assets in existence, even if there are more than enough 'secured' liabilities that claim said assets as collateral. And while the status quo is marching on, the Ponzi is rising, and new liabilities are created, all is well; however, the second the system experiences a violent deleveraging and the liabilities have to be matched to their respective assets as they are unwound, all hell breaks loose once the reality sets in that each asset has been diluted exponentially. Naturally, among such assets are not only paper representations of securities, mostly stock and bond certificates held by the DTC's Cede & Co., but physical assets, such as bars of gold held by paper ETFs such as GLD and SLV. In fact, the speculation that the physical precious metals in circulation have been massively diluted has been a major topic of debate among the precious metal communities, and is the reason for the success of such physical-based gold and silver investment vehicles as those of Eric Sprott. Of course, the "other side" has been quite adamant that this is in no way realistic and every ounce of precious metals is accounted for. While that remains to be disproven in the next, and final, central-planner driven market crash, we now know that it is not only precious metals that are on the vaporization chopping block: when it comes to China, such simple assets as simple steel held in inventories, apparently do not exist.   ,  It's Just Getting Stupid!  As Cantor's Peter Cecchini notes today "when things are this senseless, a reversion to sensibility will occur again at some point." His view is to be long vol and as the disconnect between the economic cycle and stocks continues to grow, we present three mind-numbing charts of the exuberant hopefulness that is now priced in (oh yeah, aside from AAPL actually selling some iPhones in pre-order). Whether it is earnings hockey-sticks, global growth ramps, or fiscal cliff resolutions, it seems the market can only see the silver-lining. We temper that extreme bullish view with the fact that all the monetary policy good news has to be out now - for Ben hath made it so with QEternity.  ,  Goldman On The Fiscal Cliff: Worse Before It Gets Better  As we have explained recently, the US fiscal cliff is a far more important issue 'fundamentally' than the Fed's economic impotence. While most market participants believe some kind of compromise will be reached - in the lame-duck session but not before the election - the possibility of a 3.5% drag on GDP growth is dramatic to say the least in our new normal stagnation. As Goldman notes, the window to address the fiscal cliff ahead of the election has all but closed, the 40% chance of a short-term extension of most current policies is only marginally better than the probability they assign to 'falling off the cliff' at 35%. The base case assumptions and good, bad, and ugly charts of what is possible are concerning especially when a recent survey of asset managers assigned only a 17% chance of congress failing to compromise before year-end. Critically, and not helped by Bernanke's helping hand (in direct opposition to his hopes), resolution of the fiscal cliff will look harder, not easier, to address as we approach the end of the year - and its likely only the market can dictate that direction - as the "consequence is terrible, but bad enough to force a deal."  ,  Markets Gone Wild  UPDATE: Denial: *WHITE HOUSE'S CARNEY SAYS `NO CHANGE' ON OIL RESERVES  ,  Guest Post: The Fed Has Failed, Failed, Failed   ,   Full Summary Of The Latest In Anti-American Sentiment  ,  Japanese Businesses Shuttering Chinese Facilities As Mainland Anger Spreads  ,  Empire Manufacturing Index Prints At Lowest Since April 2009  Today's horrible piece of news, which at least on the surface was supposed to send the market soaring, comes courtesy of the Empire Fed Manufacturing Index, which printed at -10.41, the lowest print since April 2009, down from -5.85, and well below expectations of -2.0. The Index print confirmed the biggest 6 month drop since records began. The components painted a dire picture for jobs, with the employment index sliding from 16.47 to 4.26, New Orders tumbling from -5.50 to -14.03, while, wait for it, prices rose, from 16.47 to 19.15. Re-stagflation here we come. Market for now seems confused - since QE is priced into infinity, it is unclear if this latest datapoint confirming a recessionary economy, QE can't be more-er infiniter. Best to not respond to this, or any other macro news at all, which is precisely what the market has done. For those who missed it, not only has Bernanke doomed the global economy to stagflation and imminent food riots, while making the richest 0.001% richer than ever, he has completely broken any linkage between the economy and the market.  ,  Faber: Own Gold Dont Store It In The U.S., The Fed Will Take It Away From You One Day

Guest Post: Dagan vs Netanyahu  A regional war in the Middle East could result, potentially sucking in the United States and Eurasian powers like China, Pakistan and Russia. China and Pakistan have both hinted that they could defend Iran if Iran were attacked and for good reason, as Iran supplies significant quantities of energy. And with the American government deep in debt to foreign powers like China who are broadly supportive of Irans regime, Americas ability to get involved in a war on Israels behalf is highly questionable. And even without a war, further hostility and tension between America and her creditors would surely result in an even faster rush toward more bilateral and multilateral agreements to ditch the dollar for trade, something that America will almost certainly seek to avoid. So even with a President in the White House significantly more sympathetic to Netanyahu than Obama, America may find herself constrained by the realities of global economics, and unable to assist Israel. Most discouragingly, such a high risk operation seems to offer very little reward a successful Israeli strike on Iran is estimated to set back Irans program by only one to three years. And such an operation would likely require bombings over many days and in many locations. If Netanyahu wishes to go ahead with such a scheme then that is his prerogative. But if he will not listen to Dagans wise counsel, why should the West rush to his aid if his scheme backfires?

The implications of this are severe. However, the first question we have to ask is, “why now?”After all, stocks were already at 4-year highs, food and energy prices were soaring, interest rates were at record lows, etc. On top of this, the Fed failed to announce QE 3 for over a year (QE 2 ended June 2011). Why announce it now?  There are only two reasons:  1)   Things are in fact far worse behind the scenes than we know (the Fed HAD to do something to get more money into the system)  2)   Politics ..…’ 

 

Egan-Jones downgrades U.S. rating on QE3 move  By Wallace Witkowski

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Egan-Jones Ratings Co. said Friday it downgraded its U.S. sovereign rating to AA- from AA on concerns that the Fed's new round of quantitative easing, or QE3, will hurt the U.S. economy. The ratings agency said the Fed's plan of buying $40 billion in mortgage-backed securities a month and keeping interest rates near zero does little to raise GDP, reduces the value of the dollar, and raises the price of commodities. "From 2006 to present, the US's debt to GDP rose from 66% to 104% and will probably rise to 110% a year from today under current circumstances; the annual budget deficit is 8%," Egan-Jones said in a note. "In comparison, Spain has a debt to GDP of 68.5% and an annual budget deficit of 8.5%."

10 Shocking Quotes About What QE3 Is Going To Do To America   http://albertpeia.com/10shocksregardingwhatqe3willdotous.htm

Daves Daily:  http://etfdigest.com  [  Anti-American fury sweeps across an inflamed Muslim world  { Despite casting this as being over a film, its not just the film; but as well, blowback for innumerable policy missteps that ultimately included direct or indirect acts of violence/aggression. These people are not blind, nor are they utter fools despite america et als foolish assumptions and presumptions to the contrary. }  ]   ‘…Economic data released Friday would normally be significant but not in this QE more money than brains environment. The CPI came in as advertised (.6% vs .6% expected & prior .1%; core .1% vs.2% expected & prior .1%) but remains the manipulated joke passed off as legitimate data. Retail Sales were also about as expected (.9% vs .8% expected & prior .9%) but then comes more comedy as Retail Sales ex-gas & autos (.1% vs .4% expected & prior .8%) provides a better picture. Industrial Production laid an egg (-1.2% vs 0% expected & prior .5%) which is more difficult to manipulate. Consumer Sentiment jumped (79.2 vs 73.5 expected & prior 74.3) but this too isnt as reliable a view as the Conference Boards Consumer Confidence data which was crushed the previously. Why the difference? The current data point is more heavily skewed to stock prices. Lastly Business Inventories (.8% vs .5% expected & prior .1%) you can draw two conclusions: companies are building inventory to meet demand or theyre stuck trying to unload what has accumulated.The infrequently modified DJIA dropped Kraft (KFT) and substituted United Health Care (UNH) as the former is restructuring and spinning off subsidiaries. And, as if it matters, lesser known but increasingly well regarded Egan Jones downgraded U.S. debt once again from AA to AA- with the idea QE3 will do more harm than good. (Theyre so off the main narrative, eh?)So QE3 is in hand and stocks followed through modestly higher led by financials (XLF), banks (KBE) and materials (XLB). The dollar (UUP) continued its decline (inflationary) while base (DBB) and precious metals (GLD & SLV) continued to rise. Bonds (IEF) and (TLT) continued to decline. Volume continued to rise Friday but we saw afternoon profit-taking as markets are short-term substantially overbought. Breadth per the WSJ was positive once again…’

 

Stocks Are Not Cheap  ZeroHedge.com  9-14-12Valuations; stocks are cheap; money-on-the-sidelines; everyone's bearish; trend is your friend. We've all heard them and we've all played them but the following charts from Morgan Stanley will at least provide some nuance of sense for those stunned into silence by a market seeing its nominal price surging amid Bernanke blowing bubbles. The headline is - with real rates this low (and staying low for a few more years yet) current P/E multiples are extremely high and even on a long-run empirical basis, hope remains excessive at 22xShiller P/E versus an average 16x. Remember, a long-term investment is a short-term trade gone bad. But it seems for now that you buy because you'll always be able to sell it back higher to the next smarter dumber greater fool.

Guest Post: We Need a New Stock Market

Here are some common-sense rules for such a "new market":

Every offer and bid will be left up for 15 minutes and cannot be withdrawn until 15 minutes has passed.

Every security--stock or option--must be held for a minimum of one hour.

Every trade must be placed by a human being.

No equivalent of the ES/E-Mini contract--the futures contract for the S&P 500--will be allowed. The E-Mini contract is the favorite tool of the Federal Reserve's proxies, the Plunge Protection Team and other offically sanctioned manipulators, as a relatively modest sum of money can buy a boatload of contracts that ramp up the market.

All bids, offers and trades will be transparently displayed in a form and media freely available to all traders with a standard PC and Internet connection.

Any violation of #3 will cause the trader and the firm he/she works for to be banned from trading on the exchange for life--one strike, you're out.

Issuing additional currency and depressing interest rates via the purchasing of MBS does little to raise the real GDP of the US, but does reduce the value of the dollar (because of the increase in money supply), and in turn increase the cost of commodities (see the recent rise in the prices of energy, gold, and other commodities). The increased cost of commodities will pressure profitability of businesses, and increase the costs of consumers thereby reducing consumer purchasing power.

Romney and the GOP still toe the Bush line  Republican leaders are sick and tired of Democrats blaming all the nation's problems on George W. Bush, and of being tarnished by the former president's legacy. { The problem for the democrats is that, unfortunately for the nation and world, wobama’s essentially followed dumbya bush’s failed legacy with few exceptions (ie., wobama/holder’s predisposed contraindicated favoritism/bias towards blacks including black panthers, etc.). Indeed, many within ‘the fold’ include ‘bush men’ (ie., mueller, bernanke, etc.); and comparable failed policies as, ie., protracted unnecessary war, profligate spending worse than bush, rule by proclamation/executive orders, no prosecution of huge wall street frauds, etc., all contrary to campaign promises/b***s*** that got him elected, a mistake that won’t be repeated this time around. }




9-13-12  Graham Eats Humble Pie  September 13, 2012  http://gainspainscapital.com  { This is an especially great opportunity to sell this suckers market/take profits! Nothings been solved! Just because no-recession-helicopter-ben says something, does not mean its true (remember that no recession call of his; and, of course, no QE before the election, prospectively, already discounted many times over by the markets, such as they are, ie., algo buy programs, etc.. ).  All this and now whatever is too little and too late for the uss Titanic which has taken on too much, not water, but b***s***. This was a desperate move, bespeaking desperation.The fact is things are ominously so bad, and worse than allowed to be seen for the moment, that something as this QE which is economically and financially contraindicated and a proven failure for all but the frauds on wall street along with their cohorts including desperate politicos, is resorted to in desperation to divert attention from their unequivocal failure. After all, though having cost so many americans their jobs with wrong calls and policies, bernanke is trying to save his own by inflating the markets (along with everything else, ultimately hyperinflationary)  for fellow failure wobamas sake (wobama rehired failure bernanke, President Romney would have fired, and will fire him goldman sachs knew this dollar debasing failed policy QE 3 would come and at the expense of the muppetsthats their term for all you suckers). I further believe this contraindicated largess to the frauds on wall street is to preserve his post fedship tenure job possibilities by ingratiating himself even further with those nefarious, self-serving interest groups. }  {Alas, poor Graham} For months Ive predicted we wouldnt see QE 3. Its now clear I was wrong. The Fed just announced QE 3. And while the implications of this will not be positive for the cost of living in the US, or ultimately the markets (inflation will eat away profit margins), the fact of the matter is that on this forecast I was totally and completely wrong. With that in mind, Im openly admitting that this call was 100% incorrect. Ditto for my predictions of the ECBs moves.  The ECBs actions are of questionable value. However, the fact remains that the ECB is monetizing bonds or will at least try to (unless Germany stops them). So I was 100% wrong there too…’ ,  The Fed Panicked Posted by: Econophile Post date: 09/13/2012 - The Fed panicked. It is extraordinary that the Fed would announce an open-ended "we'll print as much as it takes, as long as it takes" policy. Chairman Bernanke is sending a signal to the markets and...   ,   Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  FED IN FOR A PENNY IN FOR A POUND  9-13-12  Basically the Fed has gone too far done the money printing mode to stop now. They believe what their policies will stimulate employment but all operations in this regard have failed. The Bernank will spin this as an apolitical move coming two months before an election that could cost him his jobjust sayin.The highlights include: Fed to keep policies stimulative for a considerable time. The Fed will buy $40 billion Mortgage Backed Securities continuing Operation Twist and extends (aspirationally) ZIRP into 2015. The key language is the following sentence from the official announcement:If the outlook for the labor market does not improve substantially, the Committee will continue its purchases of agency mortgage-backed securities, undertake additional asset purchases, and employ its other policy tools as appropriate until such improvement is achieved in a context of price stability.This policy is intended to boost asset prices and prevent a Japanese style deflationary cycle. No matter what they say, TPTB will always choose inflation vs deflation every time. Thus far theyve succeeded in supporting their primary clients, the mega-banks. Beyond that these operations might see liquidity trickle down to the 99%. For the rest of us now, it might be better to just toss money out the window like the bank robbers yesterday. At least this would go directly to the people, againjust sayin. Price stability which they believe exists, exits only in the conjured-up data from the flawed structure of the CPI and other measures. My understanding is there isnt enough MBS debt around for them to buy at $40 billion a month. Maybe theyll start going to garage sales to buy stuff thus pumping up prices. The bottom line for us is were long markets from stem to stern so why should we complain? Being disciplined and systematic is more important than raging at the machine. One thing QE has done is to make a hash of normal technical analysis since the more money than brains theme trumps everything. Lets just say everything was higher today with the exception of the dollar and conventional bonds. Volume on this bullish QE day was much higher than recently putting previous light volume melt-ups in the rear view mirror.

It explains, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the only goal the Fed now has is to reflate the stock market bubble to previously unseen levels, to focus on generating jobs although not for everyone but only for Wall Street, consequences be damned, because by the time the consequences arrive, and they will (just recall that subprime is contained) they will be some other Fed chairman's problem. Bernake's term mercifully runs out in January 2014  ,  Up  In case you missed it. Markets soared on the back of possibly the darkest day in central-planning banking largesse. Gold and Silver were the biggest winners, though stocks will get all the attention we are sure. Treasuries initially sold off on the news that this was an MBS program (and mortgage spreads collapsed from already record tights) but by the close, Treasury yields had almost round-tripped to pre-FOMC levels. For the first hour or so after the news, all assets moved in sync and correlations soared across risk-assets, but as the afternoon wore on, FX carry consolidated, Treasuries retreated (and 2s10s30s fell), dragging risk lower leaving stocks up near their highs in a world of unicorns and free-money. Notably, it appeared that stocks caught up to high-yield credits' recent exuberance and then found little ability to push ahead. HYG (the high-yield bond ETF) remains notably rich to real bond prices. VIX tumbled under 14% (down almost 2 vols) but notably the term structure of vol collapsed even more - as it seemed the QuEnfinity prompted longer-term hedges to be lifted. A remarkable day in many ways as the S&P crosses over 14x P/E and AAPL over 20% of the Nasdaq-100.  ,  Guest Post: Psychoanalyzing The Fed  There is one last irony in Bernanke's constant promotion of his powers to unleash QE. Having talked up the market for years with his promises/threats of QE, the market has priced in ever higher doses of QE, in effect bidding expectations of QE's effectiveness to the sky. Bernanke has lost the power to surprise the market. Having raised expectations to the sky, he must deliver something beyond the stratosphere to surprise the market. But he doesn't have anything capable of matching the absurd expectations he's inflated, never mind exceed them. The only surprise left is a negative one. Chairman Bernanke and his fellow doves will soon realize the consequences of over-promising and under-delivering. It works better the other way around, but now it's too late.   ,   Fed Releases Latest Economic Forecast Which Will Be Proven 100% Wrong   With a few minutes to go until Ben speaks, the entirely useless projections are out (as noted before by Reuters that the Fed has been constantly wrong in its forecasts). The stunning punchline is that according to the Fed things are not as bad as one would have expected given the dramatic open-ended shart-fest that Bernanke is portraying. In fact, things are improving per the FOMC! Though we assume that these projections are self-defeating since they likely include this new policy. Be interested to see the pre-policy projections.

One wonders, whether in addition to having excel models which appoarently do not recognize circular assumptions, if the Fed's forecasts also assume $10 gas, $100 loaves of bread, and $10,000 gold?

 

I THINK IT IS TIME TO RECOGNIZE THAT BERNANKE IS TOTALLY BURNED OUT IF NOT ABSOLUTELY INSANE (YOU RECALL THOSE PROPAGANDA ROUNDS AT THE SCHOOLS, ETC.; THOSE CAPTIVE AUDIENCES WHO COULDNT CARE LESS). HE IS TOTALLY INCOMPETENT! THE FACT IS, BEYOND THE BLATANT FAILURE OF HIS CONSISTENTLY FAILED POLICIES, HE STILL TALKS OF GROWTH AS BEING SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE INFLATIONARY IMPACT OF INFLATIONARY QE AND UNDERSTATED INFLATION AND HIGHER PRICES THEREBY. ITS REALLY QUITE INCREDIBLE THAT ANYONE BELIEVES ANY OF THEIR B***S***!

 

 

 

 

9-12-12  Where Would the S&P 500 Be Without Fed Intervention? September 12, 2012 http://gainspainscapital.com   http://albertpeia.com/snpfed.htmWeve entered a truly dangerous environment in the financial markets. Economic fundamentals are deteriorating rapidly. Consider the USBy all counts, the latest ISM (a measure of manufacturing in the US) was a complete and total disaster. In August the ISM hit 49. Anything below 50 is considered a recessionary rating.However, things are even worse below the surface. The ISM is made up of several components. Its Production component is back to May 2009 levels. The New Orders component is back to April 2009 levels. And worse of all, Prices Paid is up to 54, up from a reading of just 39 in July. In very simple terms this tells us that inflation appears to be hitting lift off in the US at the very same time that we are entering another recession that could potentially be on par with that of 2008. And with corn and soybean prices at or near record highs, we could be on the verge of a stagflationary disaster combined with a food crisis at the very same time. We get additional confirmation of a major economic contraction from corporate earnings. Recently weve seen earnings forecast cuts from Fed Ex, Bed Bath and Beyond, Proctor and Gamble, Adobe, Starbucks, McDonalds and more.  Indeed, when you remove financials, S&P 500 earnings FELL year over year for 2Q12. This is hardly indicative of a strong economy. The fact a record number of Americans are on food stamps doesnt bode well either. And the Rasmussen Employment Index indicates worker confidence is at levels not seen since the FALL OF 2008! Against this backdrop, stocks have rallied higher and higher on hopes of more liquidity from global Central Banks. As a result, the market has completely disconnected from underlying economic realities. Based on the business cycle alone, the S&P 500 should be closer to 1,000. And even the NY Fed has revealed that without the impact of Fed meetings, the S&P 500 would be at 600! This is a truly staggering admission from a Fed official. This is the Fed admitting to us, point blank, that without investors trading based on hopes of Fed intervention, the markets would essentially be even lower than they were in March 2009…’  ,  Things Are Getting Worse: Median Household Income Has Fallen 4 Years In A Row   http://albertpeia.com/thingsworseincomefalls4inarow.htm  ,  Thanks Obama - The Terrorists You Used To Topple Regimes In Egypt And Libya Are Now Attacking Our Embassies   http://albertpeia.com/thankswoforblowback.htm   ,   US Totalitarianism Loses Major Battle As Judge Permanently Blocks NDAA's Military Detention Provision  Zerohedge.com  Back in January, Pulitzer winning journalist Chris Hedges sued President Obama and the recently passed National Defense Authorization Act, specifically challenging the legality of the Authorization for Use of Military Force or, the provision that authorizes military detention for people deemed to have "substantially supported" al Qaeda, the Taliban or "associated forces." Hedges called the president's action allowing indefinite detention, which was signed into law with little opposition from either party "unforgivable, unconstitutional and exceedingly dangerous." He attacked point blank the civil rights farce that is the neverending "war on terror" conducted by both parties, targetting whom exactly is unclear, but certainly attaining ever more intense retaliation from foreigners such as the furious attacks against the US consulates in Egypt and Libya. He asked  "why do U.S. citizens now need to be specifically singled out for military detention and denial of due process when under the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force the president can apparently find the legal cover to serve as judge, jury and executioner to assassinate U.S. citizens." A few months later, in May, U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest ruled in favor of a temporary injunction blocking the enforcement of the authorization for military detention. Today, the war againt the true totalitarian terror won a decisive battle, when in a 112-opinion, Judge Forrest turned the temporary injunction, following an appeal by the totalitarian government from August 6, into a permanent one.  ,  Here's Hilsenrath With What To Expect Tomorrow  By now everyone knows that the WSJ's Jon Hilsenrath is spoon-Fed information directly by the Fed. Even the Fed. Which is why everyone expected the Fed to ease last time around per yet another Hilsenrath leak, only to be largely disappointed, invoking the term Hilsen-wrath. Sure enough, it took the market only a few hours to convince itself that "no easing now only means more easing tomorrow", and sure enough everyone looked to the August, then September FOMC meetings as the inevitable moment when something will finally come out. So far nothing has, as the Fed, like the ECB, have merely jawboned, since both know the second the "news" is out there, it will be sold in stocks, if not so much in gold as Citi explained earlier. Regardless, the conventional wisdom expectation now is that tomorrow the Fed will do a piecemeal, open-ended QE program, with set economic thresholds that if unmet will force Bernanke to keep hitting CTRL-P until such time as Goldman is finally satisfied with their bonuses or unemployment drops for real, not BS participation rate reasons, whichever comes  first. As expected, this is what Hilsenrath advises to expect tomorrow, less than two months from the election, in a move that will be roundly interpreted as highly political, and one which as Paul Ryan noted earlier, will seek to redirect from Obama's economic failures, and also potentially to save Bernanke's seat as Romney has hinted on several occasions he would fire Bernanke if elected. Here is what else the Hilsenrumor says.   ,  Bill Gross Sells $30 Billion In Treasurys In August As Total Return Fund Cuts Government Exposure By Over A Third  ,  Grand Theft Auto: FOMC City - Bank Robbers Throw Cash Out Of Volvo In South Los Angeles  ,  Citi: If NEW QE, Then Buy Gold  ,  Inside The Student Loan Debt Bubble  ,  Guest Post: Cui Bono Fed: Who Benefits from the Federal Reserve?  Cui bono--to whose benefit?--is a skeptic's scalpel that cuts through the fat of propaganda and political expediency to the hard truth. Since the world has been trained (in Pavlovian fashion) to hang on every word issued by America's privately owned central bank, the Federal Reserve, it's appropriate to ask a simple but profound question: Who benefits from the Fed's existence and its policies of loaning "free money" to banks at 0% and ZIRP (zero interest rate policy)? The Status Quo's answer is "the American people," of course, a deliciously juicy layer of "Big Lie" propaganda and obfuscation. Any healthy political and financial system would have broken the fraud-based system and dismantled the failed banks en masse in an orderly fashion. One institution stopped this from happening: the Federal Reserve. The Fed exists to serve the banks. Everything else is propaganda. Ever-expanding debt leaves America a nation of wealthy banks and increasingly impoverished debt-serfs. Cui bono, baby.

9-11-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com    MARKETS IN WAITING GAME  9-11-12  It was a mix of news Tuesday. The featured story was Moodys stating theyll be cutting the U.S. rating one notch if politicians cant agree on debt reduction plans. Germanys Schauble piled on stating U.S. debt to GDP ratio was much too high. This sent the dollar (UUP) lower and gold (GLD) higher once again. Gold is also being buffeted as South African miners continue violence marred strike and have ignored orders to return to work. The trouble here has thus far been ignored by the MSM domestically. Extraction costs for miners are rising due to increased depths they must go yet strikers want more pay. As this continues available gold supply is reduced. Elsewhere the U.S. trade deficit remains high on poor exports but MacDonald (MCD) reported better sales that still missed expectations. A riot developed at the U.S. embassy in Egypt as Islamic protestors scaled the embassys wall, tore down the U.S. flag and flew an Islamic flag in its place. They were supposedly protesting a film that was negative in some way toward Islam. The odd thing was no one could identify the film in question. Perhaps it was just a 9/11 stunt. All eyes will be glued to the German court Thursday which will decide the constitutionality of bond buying and the ESM (European Stability Mechanism). Most pundits think it will be approved but one never knows. What takes place in California with Apple (AAPL) Wednesday may be just as important as they unveil another I got to have it gizmos. Some have even gone so far as to speculate that the new products will boost U.S. GDP all by themselves. Seriously! This idea must not take into account that these gizmos are manufactured overseas.Then of course there is Ben & Co which is part of the early September waiting game. This means most investors are on the sidelines playing the waiting game until Thursday afternoon.

Whats the Fed Going to Do?   http://gainspainscapital.com

September 11, 2012  http://albertpeia.com/whatsthefedtodo.htm

 

Yesterday we worked through the illusion to the reality of the ECBs unlimited bond purchases, the end result being that we discovered the ECB:

1)   Didnt announce anything new

2)   Is implementing the same policies its tried twice before with no success (see Greece)

3)   Is implementing policies that neither Spain nor Italy will go for

And finally

4)   Has solved nothing due to the fact that of the two mega-bailout funds, one has only 65 billion in firepower left and the other has yet to be ratified by Germany

Today we turn our attention to the USs Federal Reserve where the whole world expects the Fed to announce QE 3 at its FOMC meeting this Wednesday and Thursday.

There is a small problem of math with this. The Fed currently owns all but just $650 billion of the outstanding 10-30 year Treasuries. At this point, even a $200-300 billion QE program would create serious liquidity problems for the financial system. So scratch that idea off the list.

Of course, the Fed could potentially implement another agency/MBS QE program. But that would be a very political move with the Presidential election so close. This, combined with current food and energy prices, makes it unlikely the Fed would want to do this: too many consequences with too little to gain (stocks are at four year highs).

Indeed, if anything, the Fed is likely to pull a ECB move, namely promising something vague that it actually cannot deliver on. Why would the Fed do this? Because, like the ECB, the Fed is running out of bullets. Indeed,  St Louis Fed President James Bullard all but admitted this to the Financial Times:

I am a little maybe more than a little bit worried about the future of central banking, said James Bullard, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis, in a Financial Times interview at Jackson Hole. Weve constantly felt that there would be light at the end of the tunnel and thered be an opportunity to normalise but its not really happening so far…” On that note, if you are not preparing for a bloodbath in the markets, now is the time to do so. The reality is that the Central Banks are fast losing their grip on the markets. Theyll never admit this publicly, but I can assure you that Bernanke and pals are scared stiff by whats happening in the banking system right now

 

China And Russia Are Ruthlessly Cutting The Legs Out From Under The U.S. Dollar

http://albertpeia.com/debaseddollardown.htm

The mainstream media in the United States is almost totally ignoring one of the most important trends in global economics.  This trend is going to cause the value of the U.S. dollar to fall dramatically and it is going to cause the cost of living in the United States to go way up If we keep debasing our currency like this, at some point the rest of the world is going to decide that China and Russia have been right all along and that we need a new global reserve currency.That day is coming.  It might not come tomorrow or next week or next month but it is definitely coming.

Once the U.S. dollar loses reserve currency status, that will be a major turning point in the history of our country.  We will never fully recover from that, and we will never get back to the same level of prosperity that we are enjoying today.So enjoy spending those dollars while you can.  The party is almost over.

After the Americans left, some islanders, nostalgic for the seemingly endless fleet of ships loaded with technological goodies, started Cargo Cults that believed magical rituals and incantations would bring the ships of free wealth back. Some mimicked technology by painting radio dials on rocks and using the phantom radio to call back the free wealth ships. The Keynesians are like deluded members of a Cargo Cult. They ignore the reality of debt, rising interest payments and the resulting debt-serfdom in their belief that money spent indiscriminately on friction, fraud, speculation and malinvestment will magically call back the fleet of rapid growth. To the Keynesian, a Bridge to Nowhere is equally worthy of borrowed money as a high-tech factory. They are unable to distinguish between sterile sand and fertilizer, and unable to grasp the fact that ever-rising debt leaves America a nation of wealthy banks and increasingly impoverished debt-serfs.

 

 

 

9-10-12   Super Mario’s Big Bluff   http://albertpeia.com/supermariosbigbluff.htm  ‘… In closing, the new ECB program will ultimately prove to be Mario Draghi’s big bluff. By presenting an old, failed program as something “new” and “unlimited” in scope, the ECB has actually shown that it’s essentially out of firepower. Indeed, consider the following…The ECB says it will buy EU sovereign bonds if EU nations apply for bailouts from the EFSF. Spain and Italy (the very countries that need bailouts) are meant to supply 30% of the EFSF’s funding.So this new program involves Spain and Italy bailing themselves out, while simultaneously implementing austerity measures so the ECB will buy their sovereign bonds?!?!Oh, and by the way, the EFSF only has €65 billion in funding left. That will definitely be enough to bailout Spain and Italy, seeing as Greece has received over €200 billion in bailouts is still imploding.On that note, if you are not preparing for a bloodbath in the markets, now is the time to do so. The reality is that the Central Banks are fast losing their grip on the markets. They’ll never admit this publicly, but I can assure you that Bernanke and pals are scared stiff by what’s happening in the banking system right now…’  ,  Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   ‘ALGOS PLAY IN LIGHT VOLUME  9-10-12  Markets almost saw little if any volume Monday. As the afternoon session progressed algos stepped-up the profit-taking especially after a much worse than expected Consumer Credit report (-$3.28 billion vs $9.2 billion expected) allowed algos to hit the sell switch. Absent any other news, and with volume very light, there was little support to be found. Most of the day Monday was spent with markets propped and waiting primarily for Thursday’s Fed meeting. One would think the poor Consumer Credit report would be a QE stimulant and may well be one. For now however it’s just a trading opportunity. For bulls it means some overbought conditions eased while bears believe QE is already priced-in. Only time will tell who’s right.

What has this meant for Global Equities? Well, as UBS notes, in the last three months, very little. The MSCI AC World index is up more than 12% from the 4 June low. That markets have rallied while fundamentals have deteriorated in this manner is unusual. Historically, equity market rebounds have tended to coincide with a trough in PMIs and earnings momentum – that is, when PMIs have stopped going down and the pace of earnings downgrades slows (waiting for PMIs to recover to 50 or for earnings momentum to turn positive is usually too late). Markets now appear to be taking their cues from central bankers: potential policy actions are becoming a sort of ‘lead indicator of the lead indicators’, if you will. Given the recent rally, in addition to underlying macro weakness, policy action - and effective action at that – has become increasingly important for investors. Without it this recent rally could end up looking more like a false start than a head start.    ,   Guest Post: How Draghi Opened The Door To Hyperinflation And Denied The Fed An Exit Strategy   ,   Another Ex-Fed Governor Admits "Only So Much Fed Can Do"  ,  California Lt.

But perhaps most troubling is that with 2 days to go to what JPM says 77% of investors expect with be a NEW QE round (mostly MBS) between $200 and $500 billion in QE, the world is, also in the words of JP Morgan, drowning in liquidity. In other words, according to the central planners, not only is debt the fix to record debt, but liquidity is about to be unleashed on a world that is, you guessed it, already drowning in liquidity. The bad news: everything being tried now will fail, as it did before, because nothing has changed, except for the scale, meaning the blow up will be all that more spectacular.

Even the previous data was reduced from 163K to 141K meaning next month’s numbers should be taken with a grain of salt, and not sugar. Forget the slightly lower unemployment rate since with so many dropping off the rolls the real rate is closer to 12% than 8.1%, and that’s generous.This puts the “bad news is good” back on the front burner and means Bernanke has no choice but to QE and inflate asset prices. He still has “some” weapons left but he’s running out of bullets.

Thus far in the U.S. at any rate its money that goes first to the Primary Dealer network (mega-banks) and then may trickle down to you and me. Clearly it’s been supportive of stock prices but where is that in the Fed’s twin mandate (protect the purchasing power of the dollar and full employment)? If the mega-banks just hold the money to bolster their balance sheets then the grade is an “F”. As most know, banks aren’t lending money for mortgages or small businesses no matter how much liquidity the Fed dumps on them. I used to have a math teacher who wouldn’t give a grade less than 40. If it was less than 40 he’d circle it. You wouldn’t want a “circle 40” but this is how you’d score the Fed’s twin mandate results.Investment Tip: Don’t fight the Fed central banks.Volume on this QE addicted Friday was once again ultra-light cementing few investors in the game beyond those described above.

If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the tough questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal drug ops (opsriiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You cant make this stuff up. I also dont believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. Im beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the federal (judicial) system who share the same employer; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared more fairly with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:  Debauchery: An American specialty In the land of Lindsay Lohan and Snooki, some federal workers reflect our culture all too well. (Washington Post) [ Lindsay Lohan? Come on Mr. Milbank, hands off the low hanging fruit. Shes totally harmless. Jersey italian snooki?

Review of flawed forensics held close to vest EXCLUSIVE | Documents and interviews show FBI and Justice Department officials took steps to control information uncovered by a task force designed to examine cases involving discredited agents. Many defendants were never notified of flaws in cases. Simply unconscionable (Washington Post) [ Well, I really have to say this. Im awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ) . Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed the level and extent of corruption and criminality within the ranks of the u.s. government before embarking upon this costly quest for justice and simple fairness consistent with clear law (infra, regarding the u.s. governments direct involvement in the illegal drug trade). In this civil RICO matter, there are no innocent bystanders; but rather, perpetrators, accomplices, and co-conspirators. When the fbi agent initially assigned to this matter (Connecticut) abruptly resigned/retired shortly after a conversation, though not central to my case, wherein I had said that rudy giulianis father had been an (convicted) enforcer for the mob (served 12 years? in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter?) and then sent him documentation owing to his disbelief. Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard. I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agents departure who somewhat plaintively (my call being a burden) told me that he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari, which he didnt explain further. Could anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jerseys FBI office, I was greeted by an FBI Agent who sarcastically asked me whether I was going to the disco that night (the documents including sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alitos office in the same building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   . We all can infer sam alitos reward / quid pro quo for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme court.  There was never a question as to maryanne trump barrys interest in corrupting the judicial process as related to her brothers (trump) casinos. Jersey city boy louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klaiman as the most corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly holders impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvds sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference. Im currently being stonewalled by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI Agent Bill Lewis.

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

ATF Chief Melson:Justice Department trying to shield officials (LATimes) Serrano

 

I believe him!

 I truly empathize with the ATF in terms of government cover-ups, notably by even the DOJ. Youll recognize some familiar names (ie., Alito, Trump, Freeh (Louis Freeh now has dual citizenship with Italy), and some familiar crimes (ie., drug money laundering, etc. real cash cow for govt ops, bribes, etc.). [Did you know this about the following ATF Agents who were probably viewed as loose ends: Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeahan & Conway LeBleu:   Died February 28, 1993 by gunfire at Waco. All four were examined by a pathologist and died from identical wounds to the left temple. All four had been body guards for Bill Clinton, three while campaigning for President and when he was Governor of Arkansas.They also were the ONLY 4 BATF agents killed at Waco. ]

Heres some real, complicit cover-up / fraud on the part of the federal government, et als:

 Dear Sir:

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computers browser) as per your offices request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which Ive installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named 112208opocoan). The (civil) RICO action (as youre aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBIs LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation Andrew Maloneys the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..

Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.

The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages:   [  Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File        Page 1                Page 2          ]

Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [   transcript in pertinent part -     http://albertpeia.com/crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf    ]

Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.],   Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

Thank you for being in touch.  As we continue the busy first session of the 112th Congress, I want you to know that I am grateful for the various times you have shared your thoughts and concerns with me on different issues.  Please be assured that your voice is being heard and that your perspective helps me to better represent you in Washington, D.C. 

 

Sincerely,

LUCILLE ROYBAL-ALLARD
Member of Congress

 

[ This is a reply to the Congresswoman’s query among others included.]

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. 43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

 

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

Sincerely,

Albert L. Peia

Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [ http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world ] ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

The Scary Math Behind The Mechanics Of QE3, And Why Bernanke's Hands May Be Tied  ZeroHedge.com   ,   Explaining The Market's Brand New 15x Forward Multiple  Actually not really, but all one can do is laugh since in some centrally planned parallel universe, the entire world entering manufacturing contraction translates into a 4 year (and just shy of all time) stock market high...  ,  Stocks Spike In (And After) Close To New Post-2008 High As Volume Resumes SlideA few hours after the US reported a jobs number which missed consensus estimates on broad weakness, which saw a nearly 400K increase in those no longer even caring about work, and which confirmed that the economic deteriorating is nowhere close to ending, stocks did their thing and with no news, and on no volume (the same reason why like Nomura, ever fewer banks can afford to keep trading desks), decided to surge into the close even as volume slid, with the NYSE trading its new post-Knight normal average of a few shares over half a billion. This sent the ES to a new post-2008 high. In other news, we are approaching 15x forward P/E even as the world's global economies are grinding to a screeching halt.Central planning is here to stay and the stock market will merely levitate ever higher on hope that the central bankers have it all under control.  , Guest Post: The Repricing Of OilNow that oils price revolution a process that took ten years to complete is self-evident, it is possible once again to start anew and ask: When will the next re-pricing phase begin? Most of the structural changes that carried oil from the old equilibrium price of $25 to the new equilibrium price of $100 (average of Brent and WTIC) unfolded in the 2002-2008 period. During that time, both the difficult realities of geology and a paradigm shift in awareness worked their way into the market, as a new tranche of oil resources, entirely different in cost and structure than the old oil resources, came online.   ,  Friday Humor: The New Normal Asset Manager Curious why legendary hedge fund managers are shutting down shops left and right in disgust with the mockery that central planning and algorithmic short-termism had made of equity markets? Don't be: his name is Julian Marchese, he runs a "macro fund"... and he is 16. Don't get us wrong: we enjoy the next youth trading prodigy, and here the Schwab baby comes to mind, as much as everyone else. Our concern is when it is the people who have never even seen half of a business cycle that start running your money, and, probably worse, making money, which leads them to believe they know what they are doing, and gets gullible LPs to allocate capital to them based on a 3 month track record, when in reality the entire market is one merely primed for outperformance courtesy of central planner puts and priced to Bernie Madoff ponzi perfection, targeting a specific investor type. And here the Schwab baby comes to mind again.  ,  Guest Post: Junkie Recovery  If the point of quantitative easing was to provide enough  liquidity to keep the massive, earth-shatteringly large debt load serviceable, then quantitative easing succeeded but the success of sustaining the crippling debt load is that it remains a huge burden weighing down on the economy like a tonne of bricks.  This success has turned markets into junkies, increasingly dependent on central bank liquidity injections. After QE3 will come more and more and more easing until the market has either successfully managed to deleverage to a sustainable level (and Japans total debt level as a percentage of GDP remains higher than it was in 1991, even after 20 years of painful deleveraging so there is no guarantee whatever that this will ever occur), or until central banks give up and let markets liquidate. Quantitative easings success has been a junkie recovery and a zombie market.  Patents Wars 2: The Asian Empire Strikes Back - Are The Tables About To Turn On Apple? { This is a very big deal as I emphasized when the Asian Court decision came down against Apple; not the least of which reason is the fact that american courts are notoriously corrupt; an indisputable fact thats not even lost on non-kool-aid-drinking american citizens in the know }  Much has been said about Apple's recent victory over its key component supplier, Samsung, in a recent US court decision the direct result of which has been the halt of sales of several Samsung products which are already obsolete in cell phone year terms. The paradox here is that AAPL's victory is quite pyrrhic: if and when Samsung feels sufficiently threatened, it can just pull a Gazprom and halt the supply of mission critical components to the world's biggest publicly traded company. Alternatively the Chinese politburo can one day decide to pull FoxConn's operational license, in the process bankrupting AAPL overnight. But these are of course M.A.D. scenarios which in rational, non-centrally planned market would never take place, and so we have no reason to worry about them. That said, it is increasingly becoming clear that patent warfare fought in partial domestic judicial systems, will be the next form of protectionism as pertains to that most faddy of technology: the ubiqutous smartphone. And while Apple may have won the first battle, the outcome of the war is still very much unclear: in fact, the return salvo after Samsung's big defeat on US soil may come quite soon, this time courtesy of another Chinese Apple "clone", HTC Corp, which if it goes against the Cupertino company, could have a large impact on revenues.

9-6-12 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   DRAGHI GIVES BULLS WHAT THEY WANT  9-6-12  Bullish algos bought immediately after Draghis announcements. They arent interested in the details just the headlines which told them more money printing was on the way. Draghi stated there would be conditions to their bond buying of various sovereign debt but details of these conditions were illusive. He also stated QE would be unlimited in scope and confined to 0-3 year maturities. When asked if he thought traders would game this he said theyd monitor this. (His former employer Goldman Sachs would probably do whatever they want thank you.) Asked if these decisions were unanimous and he said no. Later the Bundesbank reiterated their opposition but that seems a mere inconvenience. In fact, since the ECB will be buying bonds in the secondary market vs primary the German court ruling will not matter.Draghi also spent some time discussing that bond markets in the eurozone were distorted due to misperceptions which seemed laughable frankly. He also stated later that problems in the global economy werent the fault of the eurozone fingering the U.S. financial crisis obliquely.Not to be left out the Bank of England noted it would continue its bond buying program.Bulls also glommed onto to the ADP Employment report showing 201K private jobs created. Many of these were part time workers and only 3K was in manufacturing but again, algos arent interested in the details. Jobless Claims were better (365K vs 370K expected & prior revised higher once again to 377K from 374K). These prior revisions are batting 1000 this year and while claims data improved theyre still trolling along unacceptable levels. In fact, so many have exhausted their benefits the data becomes misleading.Beyond the details stocks rallied sharply scoring one of the best trading days in 2012. Stocks globally due to ZIRP and QE remain highly correlated picking leaders more difficult as is creating a diversified portfolio. Just pick the sector with the highest beta, like small caps (IWM) and stick with that since you dont need many ETFs or stocks. Bonds (IEF) were weaker as equities rallied while the dollar (UUP) was also weaker. Commodities (DBC) and precious metals (GLD) & (SLV) continued to rally as easy money from central banks debases fiat currencies.On deck Friday is the monthly employment report which could add fuel to the QE fire domestically. And, lets not forget Bernankes own boasts about higher stock prices as a result of Fed policies (ZIRP & QE). The central planners have gone too far down this QE road to stop now. Doing so serves their short-term political agendas for when markets meet their maker theyll be long gone. The important part of QE is the money created goes directly to banks and then may trickle down to people. This is why QE and ZIRP have only helped stocks but not unemployment or economic growth.Investment Tip: With equity markets highly correlated one sector and country to another you dont need many stocks or ETFs to create a portfolio as diversification attempts are futile. With global QE, less is more.Volume increased dramatically on the ECBs money printing as investors know stocks can inflate too. Breadth per the WSJ was quite positive and some sectors scored a 90/10 day it seems...


ECB INTERVENTION COMMENT DU JOUR: "CLASSIC BANANA REPUBLIC BANKING"    http://albertpeia.com/classicbananarepublicbanking.htm

Today's move can be summarized in one word: euphoria. The same euphoria every previous instance of central planning intervention has engendered, only to fade days, weeks or months later. But for the time being it will suffice, and send the S&P to fresh post 2008 highs. In the meantime, below is the definitive note summarizing what has just happened, courtesy of Pierpont Securities via Bloomberg.

ECB Plan "Classic Banana Republic" Banking: Pierpont

ECB’s outright monetary transactions (OMT) indicate that the central bank “will underwrite the profligacy of peripheral Europe,” Pierpont Securities strategist Stephen Stanley writes in note.

OMT program will lengthen EU’s “march to insolvency,” raises the odds of a bad outcome

Sterilization ensures program isn’t inflationary in short-term

OMT will attempt to transfer wealth from wealthy countries in Northern Europe to the Southern nations, who have “squandered” their wealth

Transfer of wealth is what Germany and Merkel have refused to do

And, we should add, once the Greek realize they were just swindled by the ECB's refusal to implement retroactive pari passu status on the now-defunct SMP program, in the process preventing the reduction in Greek debt by tens of billions as it gets the same treatment as all other Greek debt as part of the country's recent restrcuturing, the political upheavals will return.

But for now, as said above, we have euphoria. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Guest Post: Economic Fallacies And The Fight For Liberty   ZeroHedge.com  Its easy to be pessimistic over the future prospects of liberty when major industrialized nations around the world are becoming increasingly rife with market intervention, police aggression, and fallacious economic reasoning.  The laissez faire ideal of a society where people should be allowed to flourish without the coercive impositions of the state is all but missing from mainstream debate.  In editorial pages and televised roundtable discussions, a government policy of hands off is now an unspeakable option.  It is presumed that lawmakers must step up to do something for the good of the people.  Thankfully, this deliberate false choice will slowly but surely bring the death of itself.   Illogical theories can only go on for so long before the push-back becomes too much to handle.  For those who desire liberty, its a joy that the statist economic policies of the Keynesians become even more irrational as the Great Recession drags on.

As Bloomberg economist David Powell noted though, Draghi may have to address the economic fragmentation of the euro area before undoing the financial fragmentation of the region. The latter may just be a symptom of the former. The Taylor Rule, a policy guideline that models a monetary authoritys interest rate response to the paths of inflation and economic activity, highlights the drastically different monetary policies required across the various EU nations as a result of their variegated domestic economic conditions. This variation creates concerns over sustainability and the rational (not irrational as Draghi would have us believe) act of transferring deposits to 'safer' nations for fear of redenomination. As Powell notes: Draghi will probably have to convince market participants of the economic sustainability of the monetary union before the financial fragmentation of the region is ended.

9-5-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   TRIAL BALLOONS FROM EUROZONE DOMINATE MARKETS  9-5-12 The U.S. Fed has its own leaker with the WSJs Hilsenrath while the ECB uses just about anybody to test their future QE strategies. Thursday the ECB may clue us in on what theyre actually going to do vs all the talk. It appears the Germans are okay with some bond buying but not necessarily unlimited.Markets have been responding to all this tentatively which is helps the leakers to gauge what markets like or not.One thing continues to haunt markets and thats the ongoing economic contraction in China. Investors there are literally begging the PBOC to reduce bank reserves and employ other stimulus measures to stem the fall in equities there. Thus far not much has come from the PBOC especially when the Wen regime is about to end. Add to this their concern about a housing bubble and ghost cities that more stimulus would just stimulate.In the U.S. economic data included a bump in Nonfarm Productivity (2.2% vs 1.9% expected & prior 1.6%) while Unit Labor Costs were tame (1.5% vs 1.4% expected & prior 1.7%). The big downer was the report from FedEx (FDX) that forward earnings would be reduced sharply to reflect the contracting economy globally. This report was quite negative for markets and was clearly for transports (IYT). After all shipping conditions are an important indicator for economic conditions overall. At the same time investors bullish or otherwise are more focused on the ECB Thursday and Fed given Fridays employment reportits the bad news is good theme in play until it doesnt work any longer.So while there will be Jobless Claims again Thursday most eyes will be glued to Draghi and his press conference. This means what we comment about today is nothing by comparison to the action that should take place Thursday and Friday.So stocks were basically neutralized in advance of Draghi and may see more action even before the employment report Friday.Investment Tip: Wait till you see the whites of their eyes? But youll miss the first move bulls argue; however, I advise which move which way?Volume was once again light as investors chose to sit things out before the deluge of news.

Of the three, its the situation of the savers that is most untenable. In particular, Citi notes in a recent report, those wishing to retire at 65 or thereabouts are in for a nasty surprise when they start to run the numbers. Given that real yields are negative for Treasury bonds inside of 20-years, the steady stream of inflows into investment grade bond fund that hold a mixture of government, agency, and high grade corporate securities, will simply fail to return an adequate rate of return commensurate with the current savings rates of most retirement savers. What savers need to do is find higher asset returns or increase their personal savings rate. As the chart below shows, there are few options but to go all-in to the most excessive ends of the risk spectrum, or raise the proportion of savings and higher savings rates lead to lower consumption, a decline in corporate profits, and recession.   ,    Citi's 'Red Flag' Warning From The Credit Markets  ,  Bad News For NFP Bulls: Help Wanted Ads Plunge By Most Since Lehman Collapse   ,   The Post Globalized World Part 1: Why The PIGS Are Out Of Luck   ,   88% Of Traders Expect A Spanish 'Bailout' By Year-End   With the front-end of the Spanish (and Italian) credit spread curves having compressed to what Goldman believes is 'fair-value' given rates and current fundamentals, it seems the consensus expectation ahead of tomorrow's ECB call is that Draghi will promise, deliver, and implement instantaneously. In a recent client survey a stunning 88% of investors expect Spain to officially request activation of EFSF/ESM support - subject to an MoU - by the end of the year (with 70% expecting it by the end of October - the heavy redemption month). A full 50% expect the Italians to follow suit by the end of Q1 2013. The paradox of course is that with the spread cost of funding so 'low', Spain has no need to ask for the help that is implicitly priced into the low yields - and with that huge maturity looming, it seems they have two options: 1) pre-empt the redemption by issuing short-dated debt now to fund it (piggy-backing on the ECB's confidence inspiration) but of course this will signal no need for a short-term MoU and therefore no ECB support and therefore bonds will sell-off; or 2) admit defeat, beg for help, lose face and get the bailout... (as we await tomorrow's 'details' on the seniority issue).

Bloomberg FOIA Documents How Wall Street Made A Muppet Of The SEC, Mary Schapiro And Dodd Frank

That the SEC is the most incompetent, corrupt, irrelevant and captured organization "serving" the US public is known by everyone. And while the details of the SEC's glaring lack of capacity to do anything to restore investor confidence in the capital markets, which has become a casino used exclusively by Wall Street to defraud any retail investor still stupid enough to play (which lately a moot point as there have been no material retail inflows into mutual funds in over three years), are scattered, courtesy of Bloomberg we now have the best summary of just how the utterly clueless SEC is a muppet plaything of Wall Street, and together with it, the "grand regulation" that was supposed to keep Wall Street in check, is nothing but what Wall Street demand it to be, and forced the SEC, way over its head on regulation, to accept every change, that the very banks that are supposed to be regulated, demands as part of Dodd-Frank reforms. In short: everything we know about Wall Street 'regulation' has been a farce, and a lie, exclusively thanks to corruption rampant at the now documentedly incompetent Securities And Exchange Commission.

 

US$2000 gold by year end, Capital Economics maintains

Posted on by News

Financial Post (Sept 5) The price of gold is expected to increase over the next four months as investors demand a safe haven amid concerns over a euro-zone break up according to a new report from Capital Economics.

We would continue to emphasize that our forecast of a rise in price to $2,000 per. oz by year-end does not rely on the launch of a third round of qualitative easing (QE3). Rather it is mainly based on an exception that a break up of the euro-zone will boost the demand, said economist John Higgins.

[Source]

JK Comment: So if golds rise to $2000 doesnt depend on QE3, what will happen to the price if Bernanke does press forward? The specter of combined European and US easing is certainly creating a bigger, perhaps even a perfect, storm for gold. Maybe it is the fact that gold doesnt need QE3 to get to $2000, yet QE3 seems like such a strong possibility, that is prompting a spike in $2000 price predictions/expectations:

9-4-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   ALGO DRIVEN TRADING DOMINATES TUESDAY  9-4-12 The basic news on the day was universally poor and the market reacted negatively, even logically. But as the day wore on the trusty 2:15 PM Buy Program Express took the lead and pushed markets higher. It can only be the result of the ongoing bad news is good theme indicating more QE must be on the way. And, lets face it, our crack addicted trading desks believe in the Bernanke Put and the global central bank put. Its quite apparent reading the news from China this morning as pundits were universally calling for more PBOC stimulusits QE contagion. Moodys cut their European outlook to negative which must be viewed two ways: Moodys gets no respect and it means more QE. Speaking of which the ECB is rumored to be launching unlimited bond buying (QE) with conditions (whatever those might be). The bond buying is said to be 0-3 year maturities with the implication being the problems of austerity and debt would be Clouseau-like sol-ved during that period. Given that sort of optimism youd not be incorrect in assuming the ECB will need a bailout itself down the road.In lesser news Swiss GDP surprised to the downside, -.1%. In the U.S. the PMI was flat (51.5 vs 51.4) but the ISM Mfg Survey weakened for the third month (49.6 vs 50 expected & prior 49.8) as did Construction Spending (-.9% vs .4% expected & prior .4%). Naturally this was more QE3 friendly which is bullish in the Twilight Zone.As stated, stocks were much weaker most of the day until an algo driven rally awakened bulls late as buy programs kicked-in at the usual hour. But into the closing 20 minutes sell programs hit the tape sending stocks lower once again. Theres no two ways about it, September and October will feature more than the usual amount of volatility.Apple (AAPL) also known as the market announced it will put on another show for the financial media September 12th to unveil its new iPhone presumably. This naturally got the tech sector (XLK) fired-up from its lows of the day to close mostly flat. The biggest mover was small caps (IWM) which are the most sensitive and addicted to QE. The dollar (UUP) was relatively unchanged, bonds (IEF) were weaker, commodities (DBC) were mixed while precious metals (GLD) and (SLV) were higher.Investment Tip: Bill Gross of Pimco tweeted today that investors should buy gold as a hedge against the money printers globally.

Drudgereport: UPDATE: Obama gives himself an 'incomplete' grade...  { Wow! The audacity! The unmitigated gall! This from the record holder for fundraisers, 151 and counting. Then there’s the 100 plus rounds of golf in addition to being famously over-vacationed while in office. Did wobama expect that these things would in choom fashion magically come to fruition while he was ‘workin on his tan’, golf swing, or shootin’ hoops on the taxpayer dime? http://albertpeia.com/wobamaschoomgangfantasy.htm 

The point is that you don’t have to love Romney but you at least have to like yourself in saying ‘NO!’ to more wobama b***s*** which is all that he is. Have some self-respect. His grade is unequivocally ‘F’ for failure, having failed to do as promised which coincidentally is a direct cause among others of this debacle called america’s dark obama years. All the talk/b***s*** cannot change that reality.   Obama: Biggest mistake too much perspiration, not enough inspiration  [What total b***s***!] { Biggest mistake: too much b***s***, not enough substance; that’s reality, not spin! }  White House on weak jobs report: Don’t ‘read too much’ into it    Olivier Knox, Yahoo! News  { Riiiiight! Sounds like a plan! After all, wobama’s gotten’ by on b***s*** and ‘special consideration’ alone, never having done anything of substance in his entire life. Indeed, even his so-called ‘auto-biographies’ are works of what appear to be ‘choom-gang’ induced fantasies which reveal a psychogenic/dissociative amnesia that works well in the continuing ‘narrative’ devoid of fact on his ‘more b*** s*** campaign trail’ littered with the cowpies of stark reality. People owe themselves and their children more than this grifter’s con which in numbers measures more than the increased deficits of all the presidents since President General Eisenhower combined to obfuscate his unequivocal failure. http://albertpeia.com/10waysobamakillingjobsinamerica.htm    }  Obama Asks People Getting Married To Forgo Gifts...
Donate To His Campaign Instead...
[ Wobama is so pathetic! Sure, sacrifice for the grifter wobamas so they can continue livin’ large on the taxpayer dime while accomplishing nothing except greater public debt to hide his failure. This from the record holder for fundraisers, 151 and counting. Then there’s the 100 plus rounds of golf in addition to being famously over-vacationed while in office. It’s laughable to hear him blame congress for his lack of accomplishments when the reality is that he ‘really wasn’t there’ for any of it. For wobama the presidency is just endless debate, rhetoric, campaigning, vacationing, soundbites from the teleprompted speeches, jive-talk, b***s***, and ‘choom fantasy’. He’s a total fraud and failure and anyone who buys into election-year desperation / promises, etc., is just a fool of the worst kind!   AP: ‘…
THE FACTS: Five Senate Democrats voted against sending the DREAM Act to the Senate floor for full consideration. The bill would have created a path to citizenship for many young illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children. Last week, Obama announced plans to stop deporting illegal immigrants who would have qualified for the DREAM Act. The policy change does not include a path to citizenship…’ Then there’s the other meretricious ‘wobama desperation hail mary’ that once again falls short. Indeed, as an investor, one analyzes earnings, projects prospective earnings over a 3-5 year horizon, and the quality of the earnings along macro economic factors which are affected by ‘political considerations’. Does anyone remember the honorable Ross Perot who warned of NAFTA’s effect on american jobs even as the democrat administration et als were hell-bent on passing same? Should Romney have breached his legal duty to shareholders and invested in companies with poor earnings prospects? After all, in the financial / security analysis step of projecting the income statement, prospective labor costs figure prominently in the bottomline. In sum, Romney took conditions as he found them, and made the prudent choices which as per his legal duty were optimal for those who put their trust in him. For those who put their trust in proven failure wobama, all they have to show for such misplaced trust are broken campaign promises, now insurmountable record deficit spending exceeding all the presidents since Eisenhower combined to obfuscate what clearly has been wobama’s unequivocal failure. ]

8-31-12 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   BERNANKE SHOWS UP, STOCKS RALLY  8-31-12 { Absolutely amazing that something thats failed so miserably for all but the frauds on wall street, the price for which will be paid by others now and in futuro could be an accepted/anticipated/cheered strategy- How totally pathetic! How about real valuations based upon real finance, economics as opposed to the fraudulent wall street feel good from inflationary dollar debasement at everybody elses expense! summary: ‘…Stocks bounced around most of the day but QE addicts are still running the show. After all it is month-end the opportunity to window dress is ever present.The worst measure of Consumer Sentiment, the U of Michigans data was positive (74.3 vs 73.5 expected & prior 73.6). I say its the worst measure because its weighted too heavily by stock prices. Its an interesting disconnect from The Conference Boards report on Tuesday showing a dreadful (60.6 vs 65.4) reading. The Chicago PMI (50.3 vs 50.7) was a disappointment. Factory Orders showed a headline gain (2.8% vs -.5% prior) but inside the numbers capital spending was 4% lower.Overseas the eurozone offered the third straight month of gains despite dreadful economic reports each month.

And, in case you forgot, one of the Feds two mandates is to protect the purchasing power of the dollar. Whats the grade for especially given manipulated CPI data …’  Regarding the rally? Theres a blazing full, blue moon up there which has such effect on lunatics as are on wall street and now in nations/markets worldwide! }

The Bernanke Put is firmly in place. The much awaited Bernanke speech was just a rehash of previous statements. But others like Fed mouthpiece, the WSJs Jon Hilsenrath, has basically said more QE is on the way and its just a matter of when. Bernankes own words suggest the Fed is keen to promote higher stock prices. As he stated: It is probably not a coincidence that the sustained recovery in U.S. equity prices that began in March 2009, occurred shortly after the FOMCs decision to greatly expand securities purchases. And, that this effect is potentially important because stock values affect both consumption and investment decisions. Therefore we know how he grades performancethe level of the S&P 500. How he believes all this has helped the economy is unexplained. The Bernank has the printing press and you dont so dont fight him.There was some disappointment after the vague Bernanke statement as bulls wanted their QE now! But the spin was assured by Hilsenrath and later luminaries like Bill Gross who stated, QE is a certainty.With hindsight it was clear now why Draghi was a no show. He knew Bernanke was just going to repeat previous statements thus shining the spotlight on him. He had nothing to offer so he stayed home.Stocks bounced around most of the day but QE addicts are still running the show.

It didnt. You were wrong. 100% wrong. All we got was the same tired the Fed stands ready to act tagline from Bernanke.This was the obvious conclusion anyone who actually bothered doing research would come to. Bernanke stated as far back as May 2011 that the consequences of QE outweighed the benefits. He also stated a month ago that for the Fed to buy too many Treasuries or Agencies would hurt the financial system.But no, everyone and their mother was positive QE was coming today. Nevermind what Bernanke actually says. Nevermind that food and gas prices are near records. Nevermind that the political consequences of QE now would assuredly cost Obama the election and result in Mitt Romney taking the Fed to task once he was in office QE was definitely coming today.You were wrong. Youve been wrong for over a year. The fact the market has ramped after the Fed disappoints only shows how desperate the QE crowd is (surely this leaves the door open for QE down the road.  Weve been through this same tired scheme over 10 times now.Its 100% totally and completely pathetic. And the fact so many people buy into it is proof positive that sadly many investment professionals dont have a clue how to perform critical analysis or even accurately engage with reality.So Bernanke disappointed. Next up is the ECB. What happens if it disappoints? What happens if the whole Central Banks can save the day philosophy turns out to be total nonsense? Just a thought. One that might be worth considering given that the claims of more QE have proven to be bogus for over a year now.

Got Scarier  While the general level of unemployment in Europe is rising in a scary enough way (more detail here), the one really concerning data point has gone from bad to worse. When we last looked at youth unemployment in Europe, things were stabilizing a little, though at extremely lofty levels. With the release of July's data, the situation has deteriorated rapidly; Euro-Zone youth unemployment hs now ticked back up to its euro-era record-high of 22.6% (18-year highs). Only Portugal saw an improvement is the rate of unemployment among the Under-25 age group (from 37.6% to 36.4%) though it remains anarchically high. Italy was the hardest hit, back above 35% with its largest rise in youth joblessness in 5 months, Ireland rose back above 30% for its biggest rise in 11 months as France jumped to two-year highs and Spain and Greece are practically deadlocked with ~53% of their younger-generation out of work - new all-time records. Why do we worry? Why is this so scary? Two reasons - this and this.  ,  Guest Post: Your Window to Buy Gold Below $1,700 Is Closing  Even the hardiest investors have been lamenting that gold prices have been stuck in a rut for a long time. Others with less experience have watched the market waiting for something to happen... And as always, many bailed out of the market entirely, licking their wounds. But some, have been stocking up. Regardless of the date, we're confident that a new high in the gold price will come. The highs will come because many major currencies are unsound, overburdened with debt, and being actively diluted by governments. Indeed, the ultimate high could be frighteningly higher than current levels. As such, we suggest taking advantage of prices that won't be available indefinitely. I think we all need some of nature's cure for man's monetary ills.  ,  Guest Post: The End Of The Euro: When Will It Happen?  In Rome, the main post office is in a majestic old building with imposing architecture. It was a procession just to buy a few stamps. Stand here, stand there. Take this ticket, fill out this form, print that form. What should have taken 10 seconds took 10 minutes;  the process it took to get there was a real eye opener. They have all these fancy IT systems, but we get the sense that this technology just gives the post office a veneer of modernity and sophistication without actually being necessary or adding any value. This is typical of bureaucracy: take a simple task, make it unnecessarily complicated, then spend a bunch of money on technology that makes it even more complicated. Given this experience, Italy has clearly mastered the art of unnecessarily complicating the simple. Its no wonder they have serious problems paying the bills. Moreover, the countrys demographic challenges indicate the countrys fiscal situation cannot improve. Robust economies are productive and productivity is typically not associated with the elderly. Italy has one of the worlds oldest populations concurrent with one of the lowest birth rates. This trend drives an unsustainable fiscal quandary: bloated public sector bills with lots of old people to pay pensions to, coupled with a rapidly shrinking population devoid of young workers to pay taxes. At this point, there can be little doubt that Italy will exit the eurozone... most likely voluntarily. A return to the lira means the Italian government (probably to be headed by Berlusconi once again) would be free to print currency at will. This is the only reasonable solution remaining. When will it happen? Probably sooner than we think.  ,   Guest Post: The Real Reverse Robin Hood: Ben Bernanke And His Merry Band Of Thieves  Listen up, debt-serfs, you have it good here on the manor estate.

Former Fed Governor Heller: "Fed Will Not Act Before Fiscal Cliff Resolved"

Perhaps it is the weight that is lifted from having to tow the propaganda life while under the influence of the Fed, but Robert Heller (ex Fed Governor) just laid out the 'translated' version of Bernanke's speech this morning. "I don't think the Federal Reserve will take any action, certainly not until the fiscal cliff, the fiscal uncertainties are actually addressed," which is similar to our interpretation of Bernanke's comments as he added "if they're not addressed and the economy falls off the cliff; yes, then you may get QE3," but "I don't see that happening before the election!" This great interview - somewhat stunningly truthy for CNBC - is well worth five minutes of your time (on this ever-so-hectic Friday before Labor Day) as Heller discusses teh fading impact of QE, the risk of enormous losses for the Fed, and the danger of believing in a 'safe' exit strategy.

 

 

Algos Set New Speed Reading Record: 4549 Words In 20 Milliseconds

The market is indeed a discounting mechanism it appears. In a mere 20 milliseconds, the world's 'traders' had managed to read Bernanke's 4549-word script, interpret it (as bearish in this case - which apparently is wrong now?) and start to sell down the major equity indices. As Nanex points out, not only was the reaction lightning fast (actually faster than lightning) but it occurred in their newly created 'fantaseconds' as trades were timestamped 'before' the bids and offers were even seen in the data-feed. How long until the machines can interpret Bernanke's 'pre-QErimes' and really front-run reality?

 

 

The $3,200,000,000,000 Question: Why Housing Has Much More To Drop Before It Bottoms

  It is no secret that having failed repeatedly at the trickle down aspect of QE1, QE2, Op Twist 1, Op Twist 2 (and implicitly LTRO 1 and LTRO 2) as it pertains to the man in the street (if not the man in Wall Street, who was subject to 1-2 years of subpar bonuses which have since regained their upward trendline), the last effort the central planners of the world, and the administration, have is to furiously do everything in their power to reflate housing one more time, following what is already a triple dip in home prices ever since the December 2007 start of the Second Great Depression. Which is why month after month we get seasonally fudged, conflicted and outright manipulated data from various sources how housing has bottomed, for real this time, and things are finally looking up. Remember: with any con game, the key word is confidence, and the US consumers need to regain their confidence. Sadly, as the following very simple chart and accompanying explanation, the answer to the housing question is only one: there will be no housing recovery until much more debt is eliminated. $3.2 trillion to be precise. Everything else is merely fits and spurts of upward action predicated by easy money hitting the market either directly, or via the "REO-to-Rental" stimulus program du jour, which lasts for a few months then promptly evaporates.

 

 

 

 

8-30-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   PROTECT YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES 8-30-12 { Carbon-based unit indeed, Dave. Brings to mind that great first installment of what was to breathe life into that ultimately hugely successful franchise, Star Trek; viz., the profound Star Trek: The Movie, directed by no less than Robert Wise (The Day the Earth Stood Still) himself. }  Theres enough ideas about what to do now as Bernanke steps to the plate Friday to either regurgitate familiar messages, provide more QE, conduct more coordinated QE with other central banks or something not imagined by this carbon based investor. And as luck would have it, the day before this announcement the S&P 500 tested its 1400 level of support. I think the HAL 9000s must be on autopilot for that one. September and October are fraught with perils including eurozone drama, the Fed to U.S. elections. Whats an investor to do? For our part weve moved heavily to the sidelines given weekly DeMark 9 setups of two weeks ago. From those generally in my experience we can just move sideways or correct nearly 70% of the timea pretty good batting average. Failing that a rising trend most likely occasioned by more money printing would steamroll the indicator and most others. Lets just call it the more money than brains effect. But since you may not have our preferred tool at this time, what are other things you might do to protect yourself. After all, sleeping at night free from worry is important to most investors. Never mind that greed and fear can haunt you. You could tighten your stops if youre long. In this environment with machines running Wall Street these could be blown apart on any major gap down. Sure, you could use limit orders and that might prevent a poor initial result but if markets continued to drop precipitously youre still out of luck. You could buy some put options on the S&P but that might not be your thing. And, if you did, which should you choose? As a former options principal my style would be to buy an in the money put option with a duration beyond shortly beyond the November election. If youre wrong and markets rally you can close your position and write-off the loss as the cost of the insurance premium. There are more sophisticated option related strategies but theyre quite complex for most investors. You could buy an inverse equity ETF like ProShares Short S&P 500 ETF (SH) to hedge and perhaps just hold for a month or so given potential tracking inefficiencies. If youre bullish, you could put a buy stop limit order beneath the current market, and if it falls sharply youll get a cheaper pricelucky you! Moving to the sidelines is the least costly unless youre consumed by the fear of missing out on a big rally. This is more common than most imagine since bulls like to tell you with certainty that youll miss the first move which is always the biggest. But Ive always reminded investors of one caveat; youll miss the first move but in which direction? Since were always willing to short if we have a signal to do being ready to go long or short from cash is equally as important. So where does this all leave us? Probably just as confused and frustrated as you. Meanwhile, back at the ranch Wall & Broad markets sold-off as rumors persisted there wont be QE3 because conditions are just too good. Seriously. Jobless Claims missed (374K vs 370 expected & prior revised higher to 374K0 allowing headline writers to call things unchanged. Personal Income was unremarkable (.3% vs .3% expected & prior .3%) and Consumer Spending rose (.4% vs. .4% expected & prior .0%) meaning more spending than income. The Feds favorite view is PCE (1.3% vs 1.5% prior & core 1.6% vs 1.8% prior) which suggested higher prices are contained. Mrs. Bernanke doesnt shop and the beard has a limo so no worries. In the eurozone confidence dropped to 86.1, the lowest sincewait for it, August 2009. China stocks dropped for the 4th straight month. Separately, copper demand from China was the lowest in 15 yearsthats quite a tell of declining economic activity.

Krugman, praising 'The Atlantic's recent blustering anti-Gold-standard riff, points to gold's volatility, its relationship with interest rates (and general levels of asset prices - which we discussed here), and the number of 'financial panics' that occurred during gold-standards. These criticisms, while containing empirical data, are grossly deceptive.  The information provided doesnt support Krugmans assertions whatsoever.  Instead of utilizing sound economic theory as an interpreter of the data, Krugman and his Keynesian colleagues use it to prove their claims.  Their methodological positivism has lead them to fallacious conclusions which just so happen to support their favored policies of state domination over money.  The reality is that not only has gold held its value over time, those panics which Krugman refers to occurred because of government intervention; not the gold standard. Keynes himself was contemptuous of the middle class throughout his professional career.  This is perhaps why he held such disdain for gold.  ,     Charting The Unprecedented 'HFT-Driven' Rise In Intraday-Trading Volatility   ,   The Election: It's The Food-Stamps, Stupid!   ,  As Bank Profits Plunged In 2011, Banker Bonuses...

During the six-hour ordeal, the children were not allowed to contact family members who were waiting for them, nor any sort of attorney or advisor.

Morning Snapshot

Posted on by News


(USAGOLD)
Gold remains consolidative to mildly corrective. While recent housing data took a little wind out of the sails of the QE3 advocates, the Atlanta Feds Lockhart seemed to suggest on CNBC today that additional measures were indeed going to be forthcomingit was just a matter of timing.

Lockhart said that more easing in September was going to be a close call, reiterating that action was data dependent in saying, If we were to see deterioration from this point, lets say a persistence of job growth numbers that were well below 100,000 per month, or see signs of disinflation that could signal the onset of deflation, then there wouldnt be much of a question about policy. Those data have not been quite that bad of late, suggesting perhaps the Fed might indeed be looking to keep its powder dry for the time being.

Nonetheless, the market will be hanging on Bernankes every word when he speaks in Jackson Hole on Friday. Theyll be hoping to glean additional clues as to the likelihood of further Fed measures in September, or whether they should just start looking forward to the October FOMC meeting.

Our own Mike Kosares, wrote a couple really good posts on the Breaking News Page yesterday on the topic of QE3:

One mans opinion on Bernankes QE3 quandary

Follow up question: How would the lack of QE3 affect the gold market?

As Ive stated in the past, the direction gold ultimately takes is not wholly dependent on whether there is a QE3 or not. Mike apparently agrees, calling QE3 a huge distraction and a short term consideration that takes away from the real reasons why the gold price might rise in the years to come.

The speculation about additional ECB measures continues to rage as well. Both business and consumer confidence in the eurozone plunged to 3-year lows in August, upping the pressure on ECB chief Mario Draghi to find a way to provide additional stimulus without enraging core-Europeand specifically the Germans.

8-29-12  Obama Has Stolen $5.3 Trillion From Our Children In Order To Make Himself Look Good  http://albertpeia.com/obamastole5plustrillionfromuschildrentohidehisfailure.htm  Barack Obama has destroyed the future of America in order to improve his chances of winning the next election.  Under Obama, 5.3 trillion dollars has been ruthlessly stolen from our children and our grandchildren.  That money has been used to pump up the debt-fueled false prosperity that we have been experiencing.  When the U.S. government borrows money that it does not have from someone else (such as China) and spends that money into the economy it is going to make our economic numbers look betterBy the end of Obama's first term, the U.S. national debt will have grown more than it did from the time that George Washington became president to the time that George W. Bush became president…’  ,  Citigroup Has The Best Summary Of Europe's Fiasco Yet: "Losses Are Unquantifiable"  ZeroHedge.com  Feel like every day Europe is juggling hot potatoes? You are not alone. As the following graphic summary from Citi's Matt King (whose insight into Europe, liquidity conduits, shadow banking and a comprehensive picture of modern financial "innovation" has rapidly become second to none) shows, the hot potatoes are getting hotter by the minute, and are flying ever faster and higher. But the kicker: King has the best punchline on Europe we have yet encountered: "Losses are unquantifiable" Q.E.D.  ,  Guest Post: Boom and Bust - The Evolution Of Markets Through Monetary Policy  The outcome of the next round of monetary policy will be similar to those in recent history mentioned in this paper... "Perceived inflation will go through the roof.  Were talking about near 0% interest rates around the developed world (near-term rates in Germany hit 0% in the auction at the end of May and are expected to go negative).  Oh yeah, and massive inflation.  I think gold will have no trouble hitting $3,000/oz in the medium-term and I see copper tripling over the next decade.  This is, of course, until we hit the next bubble sometime around 2018 and start over again.  The trend remains: since the stock market crash of 1987, through the dotcom bubble, and into the real-estate & stock market bubbles of 2007, each euphoric high and ensuing crash have been more extreme than the last.  These extremes are fueled by the easing that is meant to cure us.  The policy that we are facing within the coming months/years will, as the trend dictates, trump them all, and so inevitably will its hangover."  ,  Draghis Master Plan Matrix  Following the dismal failure of Draghi's OpEd this morning (which we assume was a reprint of his much-anticipated - and now cancelled - speech from J-Hole) to jawbone anything but a very brief pop in EURUSD, we thought it useful to aggregate all the great-and-good deeds the ECB elder is considering (and why). Europe remains in a long-term deleveraging phase (as much of the developed world finds itself). This lack-of-demand for credit has crushed the so-called 'money-multiplier in Europe, just as it did in the US (which we discussed in detail here as worse than the Depression); as banks have simply stockpiled the vast sums of LTRO/ECB-collateralized funds. This has left him feeling less than his normal omnipotent self and so he is forced to act even more extremely (or talk about acting that way). The following matrix from Morgan Stanley outlines his policy options under various scenarios as we note few (aside from a rate cut) are actionable in the short-term, and even fewer are likely to make any difference to this long-term deleveraging-cycle  ,  VIX Rises, Equity Futures Fall, Volume Disappears (Again)  ,  Your Tax Dollars At Work: The US Budget Visualized For Congressional Dummies  With a $3.8 trillion yearly budget, the US Government is the most powerful entity in the world.

In the 1950s, M. King Hubbert projected that US oil production would start declining in the 1970s, and he was accurate. Then he projected that in the mid-2000s, the world's production of light, sweet crude would start declining. He was quite correct about that, too. There will always be plenty of oil at some given price, but to produce oil even conventional, shallow, light sweet crude now costs close to $40/bbl in many places. Drilling in politically unstable jurisdictions with sparse infrastructure is neither cheap nor fun. We're talking about production costs of at least $80/bbl in many cases. In an industrial world with seven billion people, the only energy source that makes sense is nuclear power. Sure, you can use wind and solar from time to time and in certain places. But those technologies are extremely expensive, and they absolutely can't solve the world's energy problems.  , Chart Of The Day: From Pervasive Cheap Credit To Hyperinflation  ,   Place Your Bets  The Chinese Stock Markets are returning to the lows of 2009 and the Europe is mired in a recession. The American Stock Markets are not far off their highs and we do not think this will continue. Mark Grant is quite negative, for all kinds of reasons, about our equity markets now and would be taking profits and returning to the more assured bets of getting yield from bonds and not from dividends. A dividend may be reduced or cancelled by the wave of some Boards hand one afternoon while senior debt cannot be cancelled without the company or the municipality going into bankruptcy so that the top of the capital structure is far safer than relying upon dividends for income. In the next sixty days we are faced with Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy and ECB issues that are quite serious both economically and politically. You may think what you like but there is a lot of risk on the table; of that you may be assured. When someone says, Buddy can you spare a dime we would like to be the one being asked and not the one doing the asking. It is here where we stand and wait.

8-28-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com     QE QUESTIONS  { To QE or not to QE, that is the questionwhether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous destruction of fortunes ah, yes good choice Dave I know those soliloquies by heartand now, a little Lewis Carroll with a mad hatter none other than helicopter-ben-shalom-bernanke } 8-28-12  Its not like words fail me, its that volume and waiting do. Yesterday I didnt post as volume on much watched SPY was only (cough) 65M shares. Thats even less than a half-day holiday-like trading. Markets followed by doing little. Whats the point of even discussing it? As long as economic data dominates without market reaction its hard to write much. I may continue light posting until Friday if this persists. All eyes are glued to whatever hints develop before Jackson Hole and events that follow in rapid fire succession in September. Traders (wish I had done the same) have taken the last two weeks of August off. That in itself isnt unusual but this lack of action is extreme. Clearly those less fortunate junior traders have been left in foxholes to defend the market status quo. Both bulls and bears are essentially sidelined. The Feds oracle, Hilsenrath is awaiting orders and targeted leaked information to assuage investors causing algos to jump or not. Early on it was noted the ECBs Mario Draghi would be making an appearance and might have been the star of the Jackson Hole show. But today he backed out. Some have rationalized this to mean he either didnt want to steal the limelight from Bernanke or he had no ability to confirm previous statements to defend the euro at all costs and etc. Perhaps this might mean in Bernankes speech Friday he will reveal new actions. If he has the authority to implement another round of QE he must have gotten votes to do so via a conference call with other voting Fed governors. But I speculate. Spains GDP shrunk once again to -.4% which seemed generous given the news backdrop. The Catalan province demanded a 5 billion bailout without any conditions. (Beggars are now choosers.)The Basel Group is now under direct ECB pressure to relax new liquidity rules for banks which some might surmise would allow for additional misbehavior.Not to be left out, Japan is lowering its GDP estimates but cant really find a firm number to assign to it. Lets just say things arent good.In the U.S. Consumer Confidence imploded (60.6 vs 65.8 expected & prior 65.9) or a 9 month low. This was quite stunning and may be the result of rising gas prices and ongoing joblessness. You wouldnt have known this by the Consumer Discretionary sector (XLY) which rallied on the news. This reflects the bad news is good theme for QE pimps. Bulls liked that Home Prices rose .9% or the same as in June although it seems to me this is the season for home buying. But even Shiller commented that improvement was nice but there wasnt a rush to buy. The Richmond Fed Index was better but still weak at -9.    http://albertpeia.com/consumercon.png   Wednesday will feature U.S. GDP data, Corporate Profits and Pending Home Sales. This is an intense week for economic data although the featured player remains the Bernank.The dollar (UUP) was weak while gold (GLD) and silver (SLV) were higher.

We celebrated it by cheering $15,OOO,OOO,OOO,OOOBAMA. Today, August 28, 2012, is when we can unofficially celebrate again, because 286 days after the last major milestone was surpassed with disturbing ease, total US debt following today's $35 billion auction of 2 Year bonds is, well, in a word: $16,OOO,OOO,OOO,OOOBAMA!    , Judgment Day For The Euro And What's At Stake   Europe and the world are eagerly awaiting the decision of Germanys Constitutional Court on September 12 regarding the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), the proposed permanent successor to the eurozones current emergency lender, the European Financial Stability Mechanism. The Court must rule on German plaintiffs claim that legislation to establish the ESM would violate Germanys Grundgesetz (Basic Law). Nobody knows how the Constitutional Court will rule on these objections. It is good that the Courts decisions cannot be forecast, and even better that the Court cannot be lobbied or petitioned. The European Union can be based only on the rule of law. If those in power can break its rules on a case-by-case basis, the EU will never develop into the stable construct that is a prerequisite for peace and prosperity.  ,    The 'Euphoric' Economy And Why 'They' Didn't See It Coming  We are often asked for glossaries or background posts to help in the comprehension of how-we-got-here?, where-here-is?, and where-we-are-going? We hope that our posts, while diverse in nature, build upon one another and provide an educational platform for all levels of market/economy participant (active traders, passive investors, and working / non-working citizens alike) but as far as a succinct primer on how broken the status quo is and the 'euphoric' economy that very few could see through their Keynesian "debt doesn't matter" blinders, Steve Keen's introductory lecture at UWS is perhaps the most complete soup-to-nuts discussion we have seen recently. From the OECD's total ignorance to Bernanke's 'Great Moderation' miss; from economic 'religion' to science; and from Keynes to Minksy, Keen explains, in language even Chuck Schumer could understand, how more debt doesn't solve too much debt, how stability breeds instability, and why the US won't be finished deleveraging until 2025 (at this rate).  ,  The Ultimate Visualization Of Australia's Housing Bubble  ,  Guest Post: China's Difficult Choice   Over the weekend, we pointed out that the old mechanism for the Peoples Bank of China to expand its balance sheet and create base money has been broken by new funds flow pattern, and it will sooner or later require some sort of large scale asset purchases programme a.k.a. quantitative easing to offset the impact of the broken mechanism (after other tools such as cutting RRR reach their limits). However, we also mentioned that as the private sector is currently quite overstretched and will start the deleveraging process (if they have not already started), and that would render traditional monetary tools useless, and quantitative easing ineffective. And that would necessitate deficit spending at both local and central government levels. If we have read the social mood correctly that China might be more pro-austerity than pro-Keynesian, and if policymakers indeed share that view, then the consequence in the near term could be rather grim. The delay in stimulus as well as the small size of it so far has already done damage, if you like.

Guest Post: Why Everybody's Going To War in the Middle East

"Everybody's going to war but we don't know what we are fighting for." Nerina Pallot, from "Everybody's Gone to War"

All sides in the coming conflict except for the civilian populations and the soldiers maimed and killed believe they will benefit from a limited war in the Middle East if everything goes according to plan. However, nothing ever goes according to plan in wars and this is the problem the world will face. Prolonged recession or depression, wealth and benefit confiscation throughout the EU, US and other Western democracies and the risk of a Middle East conflict spreading around the world is our fear. Who is guaranteed to win regardless of the outcome of the war and whether it can be contained? The Anglo-American financial elites and the bankers always win every conflict regardless of the military outcome. This is the history of the 20th century and we see no reason that will change now.

GM 'Idles' Volt Production (Again)  ,  Why Paul McCulley Would Be Shorting The Economy With Both Hands Right Now  According to the plethora of long-only managers willing to trot out on the public stage and beg for more commissions, the US has been (and will remain) the cleanest-dirty-shirt in the global risk asset laundry basket; but as David Rosenberg of Gluskin Sheff points out not only has the S&P 500 hit a new record high in its total return index but it also possesses a rather 'ebullient' valuation premium (2012E P/E) of 13.8x relative to China 9.8x and Europe 11.4x. However, while this is more than enough to slow some investors from backing up the long-truck, Rosie goes on to highlight a very worrisome indicator - that favored by ex-PIMCO's Paul McCulley. The YoY trend in the three-month moving average of core capex orders (which was updated last Friday) has just cracked negative, crushing the hopes of US growth prospects and we assume equity superlatives. However, since the market no longer reflects anything; certainly not the economy, but merely who will ease more when and how, one really can't short much if anything, even if McCulley is 100% spot on.  ,    Stocks Stumble Despite AAPL's Best Efforts  Not even the almighty power of AAPL could bring to bear a positive end to the day for the S&P 500 or the Dow. Most notably, the Dow Transports are now -2.3% from the highs last Tuesday and diverging aggressively lower. Volume was simply incredibly low today (with London close) in NYSE and S&P 500 e-minis where volume was its lowest of the year by a long-way. VIX soared today, up over 1.2vols to 16.4% with some major put-spread buying in SPY. The afternoon weakness in gold, silver, stocks broadly (and specifically Materials, Industrials, Discretionary, and Financials) tend to indicate a QE-off move but Treasuries (which rallied 2-4bps) were largely unmoved in the afternoon. The USD limped higher also (QE-off) all afternoon but ended the day practically unchanged with AUD weakness the standout. Oil was volatile as Isaac was downgraded, cracks were arb'd, and SPR-release rumors swung it around - though the economically-sensitive commodities all clustered together at the close around -0.5%.  ,  Lies, Damned Lies, And Pianalto's QE/Deleveraging Lies  We tried to bite our tongue; we ignored some of the sheer hypocrisy of Cleveland Fed's Sandra' oh Sandy' Pianalto (that QE2 was a definitive success in 2010 but now LSAPs require more analysis of costs and benefits); but when she started down the road of praising the US consumer for deleveraging we had enough. In the immortal words of John Travolta: "Sandy, can't you see, we're in misery" as while she notes consumers cutting back on credit card debt (due to forced bankruptcies we note), Consumer debt has only been higher on one month in history! Soaring auto loans and student debt should just be ignored? There is no deleveraging - Total US Consumer debt is 0.23% from its all-time high in mid-2008, and will with all likelihood break the record at the next data point. Meanwhile her speech, so full of careful-not-to-over-commits can be summed up by the world-cloud that shows the six words most prominent: 'Monetary Policy', 'Financial Conditions', and most importantly 'Credit Economy'.

8-24-12 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   THE FEDS ORACLE KEEPS STOCKS GREEN  8-24-12  With stock markets actually threatening a red week enter the Feds oracle, the WSJs Jon Hilsenrath with a Bernanke regurgitated stick save QE algos glommed on which rallied stocks. For non WSJ subscribers Bernanke stated nothing new and just repeated the Fed is ready to provide accommodation using more tools. We already know this. Stocks are being propped by some invisible hand to keep things near to where they need be before TPTB act on QE, bailouts and other stimulus. September will be an interesting month to say the least. More QE has only helped stocks for as long as the actions last because they provide liquidity to money center banks which then finds its way to trading desks and other actors. Overall, Fed actions have scored an F on its twin mandate: high employment and protecting the purchasing power of the dollar. Durable Goods Orders headline beat (4.2% vs 2% expected and ex-transport -.4%). However inside the number core capital goods orders dropped 3.4%, and thats ugly. Meanwhile in the eurozone the ECB is awaiting the German courts to decide whether the ESM is constitutional (most think the court will allow it) before they undertake any bond buying. Further there is no current plan to engage in bond buying. Merkels top ally in her party stated the Greek deal cant be renegotiated. And, the German finance ministry is studying a Greek exit costs. As noted yesterday earnings and revenue beats from 2,300 stocks have been as weak as 2009. Not a good thing. Its Friday and we needed the week to close green so conditions reversed overall. The dollar (UUP) was up slightly, gold (GLD) was flat overall and commodity (DBC) prices were mixed. Bond (IEF) were only slightly lower with the stock market rally. Volume was once again ultra-light as the Hilsenrath article got the algos going. Breadth per the WSJ was positive…’ ,  AN OPEN LETTER TO THE MSFM: QE 3 ISNT COMING, GIVE UP  By gpc1981   http://albertpeia.com/qe3notcoming.htm  ,  Guest Post: Trading on Yesterday's News What Does the Stock Market Really 'Know'?  ZeroHedge.com  We have critically examined the question of whether the stock market 'discounts' anything on several previous occasions. The question was for instance raised in the context of what happened in the second half of 2007. Surely by October 2007 it must have been crystal clear even to people with the intellectual capacity of a lamp post and the attention span of a fly that something was greatly amiss in the mortgage credit market. Then, just as now, both the ECB and the Fed had begun to take emergency measures to keep the banking system from keeling over in August. This brings to mind the 'potent directors fallacy' which is the belief held by investors that someone either the monetary authority, the treasury department, or a consortium of bankers, or nowadays e.g. the government of China will come to their rescue when the market begins to fall. 'They' won't allow the market to decline!' 'They' won't allow a recession to occur!' 'They can't let the market go down in an election year!' All of these are often heard phrases. This brings us to today's markets. Nowadays, traders are not only not attempting to 'discount' anything, they are investing with their eyes firmly fixed on the rear-view mirror they effectively trade on yesterday's news. { It bears repeating that never in history have the markets become so disconnected from fundamental finance, valuation, an reality and so completely and utterly fraudulent. I believe that computerization facilitating multiple frauds at lightning speed, over and over again and again along with re-hypothecation of already worthless paper at similar speeds is in part the reason for the prevalence of such fraud along with the breakdown of american among other societies into what yesteryear would have been scorned as banana republics without any meaningful rules of law whatsoever and pervasive, almost blatant, corruption at every level. (This is not to blame computers for the bad use theyre put to.) }  ,  On This Week In History, Gas Prices Have Never Been Higher  Of course, we are sure this will not weigh on Bernanke's decisions in the next week or two but for all those who don't see inflation, courtesy of John Lohman, gas prices have never been higher during this third week of August. We remain flabbergasted that in the Wizard of Washington's recent defense of QE, there was no mention of record high gas prices as justification for it 'working' and it would appear that 'transitory' means something different than us mere un-omnipotent-beings can comprehend.  ,  Guest Post: Does the Bank of England Worry About The Cantillon Effect?  The empirical data is in. And it turns out that as we have been suggesting for a very long time yes, shock horror helicopter dropping cash onto the financial sector does disproportionately favour the rich. Here are four simple questions to the venerable Bank of England (just as applicable to any and every Central Banker); and sadly, we expect to see the announcement of more quantitative easing to the financial sector long before we expect to see answers to any of these questions.  ,  Forsaken And Forgotten  http://albertpeia.com/forsakenforgotten.htm  ,   Discount Rate For Banks: 0%; Discount Rate For The "Rest Of US": 400%; For Everything Else There's TaxpayerCard  When your local friendly Too-Big-To-Fail bank needs a 'helping hand' loan to get through pay-day or buy some extra S&P futures, it picks up the shiny red phone and asks Ben for unlimited access to free money. When the 'rest-of-us' need a little extra - to get through the next week before our pay-check hits, we call this guy - who charges a 400% APR. The Central Bank Discount Window - Priceless.  ,  Guest Post: Why You Always Want Physical Everything  Simon Black recounts a recent experience as he pulled in to a gas station in Italy; he whipped out his American Express card and asked the attendant in broken Italian to turn on the pump. He acted like Simon had just punched him in the gut, wincing when he saw the credit card. "No... cash, only cash," he said. I didnt have very much cash on me, so I drove to the next station where a similar experience awaited me. This is a trend that is typical when economies are in decline cash is king. Businesses often wont want to spend the extra 2.5% on credit card merchant fees... but more importantly, distrust of the banking system and a debilitatingly extractive tax system pushes people into cash transactions. You cant really blame them.  ,     Gold And Silver Win The Week As Dow Sees First Weekly Loss In Seven  Volume was dismal - aside from a massive surge in S&P 500 e-mini volumes as the combo Bernanke bluff and ECB bond-band-rumor hit the tape and exploded stocks up from two-week lows. A late-day attempt to close the S&P green for the week failed and the Dow ended with its first down week in seven weeks - and largest loss in nine weeks - despite a magnificent centrally-planned triple-digit gain today (+100.1pts!) Stocks were 'aided' by new cycle highs in HYG as it saw its best performance in a month - amid massive fund inflows and heavy issuance (notably outperforming credit spreads in CDS land). The shift in HYG does look like some convergence trading with SPY though  - after a month of flat-lining. Gold (and even more so Silver) were the week's big performers (up 3.35% and 9.25% respectively) even as the USD only lost 1.1%. Treasuries ended the week better by 9 to 14bps (considerably different from stocks relative performance). The week was characterized simply as stocks bouncing between QE-off (Treasury strength) and QE-on (USD weakness and Gold strength) - on de minimus volumes.   ,   Thank You Wall Street   Thanks for everything...   http://albertpeia.com/thanksfraudulentwallstreet.png

8-23-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   ACCIDENT PRONE RALLY 8-23-12 Jobless Claims rose (372K vs 365K expected & prior revised higher again to 368K). Claims have been revised higher for 32 consecutive weeks. The PMI Mfg Flash Index rose slightly (51.9 vs 51 expected & prior 51.8). The Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index fell (-47.4 vs 44.4 previous). New Home Sales rose (372K vs 362K expected & prior 350K) and FHFA Home Price rose (.7% vs .6% expected & prior .8%). So as far as U.S. data is concerned things were mixed. Rubbing salt in the wounds of the unemployed was the statistic from Reuters 2.7 M U.S. jobs have been outsourced to China. In the eurozone Merkel and Hollande met, the eurozone economy contracted (PMI 46) for the 7th straight month. In Asia China Mfg data weakened (47.8 vs 49.3) and investors rallied many Asian shares on the belief there will be more QE and other stimulus. Pimcos Mohamed El-Arian outlined what the eurozone has to do now beyond the talk. In other words, there is no margin for error. The dollar (UUP) fell sharply since some must think the euro is a safer bet which seems odd. As Bucky fell gold (GLD), silver (SLV) and commodities (DBC) overall rallied sharply. As stocks fell sharply bonds (TLT) rose. The nervousness about markets is ubiquitous. Fear of being left out of equity rallies now equals staying in it seems. Further it was reported Thursday that only 58% of the 2300 companies reporting earnings have beaten expectations and 48% beat on revenuesthe lowest since 2009. Stocks fell sharply as the air pocket was there staring us in the face given the light volume. Some disasters of the day included (HPQ), (GES), (BA) and (X) to name a few. Volume on the decline remains light even as selling intensified which just shows the total lack of participation light even by August standards. Breadth per the WSJ was negative. Investment Tip: We exited many positions due to DeMark weekly 9 counts which was a tell that markets were stretched.

Become a premium member and benefit from these signals…’,   Marc Faber: Odds of Global Recession Are 100%  ,  Republicans Consider Returning To Gold Standard: Real Or Red Herring?  ZeroHedge.com  Tyler Durden  Stranger than fiction perhaps but the FT is reporting that the gold standard has returned to mainstream US politics for the first time in 30 years with a 'gold commission' set to become part of official Republican party policy. While this could simply be a reach for as many Ron Paul marginal voters as possible (with the view that the GOP would never really go for it); it appears drafts of the party platform from the forthcoming rain-soaked convention call for an audit of the Fed and a commission to look at restoring the link between the dollar and gold. The FT, citing a spokesperson, adds that "There is a growing recognition within the Republican party and in America more generally that were not going to be able to print our way to prosperity," but "Were not going to go from a standing start to the gold standard," although it would provide a chance to educate politicians and the public about the merits of a return to gold. Interestingly, the Republican platform in 1980 referred to "restoration of a dependable monetary standard", while the 1984 platform said that "the gold standard may be a useful mechanism."  ,  JPM's London Whale May Face Jail Time For Mismarking Billions In CDS  ,  China Has Become One Big "Stuffed Channel"  Zero Hedge covered the topic of automotive channel stuffing long before it became a conversation piece, particularly as it pertains to Government Motors, a story which has recently taken precedence after being uncovered at such stalwarts of industry as German BMW and Mercedes, implying the German economic miracle may, too, have been largely fabricated. Another core topic over the years has been the artificial and inventory-stockpiling driven (in other words hollow) "growth" of China's economy, whose masking has been increasingly more difficult courtesy of such telltale signs of a slowdown as declining electricity consumption and off the charts concrete use. It was only logical that the themes would eventually collide and so they have: the New York Times published "China Besieged by Glut of Unsold Goods" in which, as the title implies, it is revealed that China is now nothing more than one big "stuffed channel."  ,  Guest Post: The Most Important Chart In TheWorld  In a nutshell, charting this ratio demonstrates the 'real' return on stocks adjusted for inflation or currency debasement.  As we all know, the Zimbabwe stock market essentially went up to infinity during their hyperinflation but did anyone get rich from that?  Of course not, the shares were denominated in a currency that was on its way to worthlessness. The key thing with the Dow/Gold chart is that it perfectly mimics the various social moods and massive secular trends that exist in the economy over very long periods of time.  It is just as effective in periods of deflation as in inflation in telling you the true story. In both of the prior two periods (one deflationary and one inflationary) the DOW/GOLD ratio got down to about 1:1.  It has been our contention for many years that we will see that same ratio once again.  That would imply another roughly 75% drop in stocks to gold and Mike Krieger expects that this next leg is beginning now.  ,  On Economic Deceivers And Propagandists  ,  Why In America It Pays To Be An Old, White, Widowed, Native-Born Female; Everyone Else Is Out Of Luck  ,  5 Year TIPS Price At Record Low -1.286%  ,  Guest Post: Venezuela Ramps up China Oil Exports Unsettling Washington  ,  The Beginning Of The End For John Paulson?  ,  Guest Post: Spreading Insolvency Around Does Not Create Solvency  The entire global financial "recovery" engineered by central banks and Central Planning is based on the absurd notion that if we spread unpayable debt over the entire body politic (be it a nation or regional entity such as the European Union) then that distribution will somehow make the debt payable and the phantom assets real. The debt remains unpayable and the assets (collateral) remain stubbornly phantom. As for adding more debt (selling Eurobonds, Treasury bonds, etc.), please note the diminishing return on additional debt: it is now negative.... Diminishing returns define the flailing financial system: the return on petrocapitalism is declining (how many barrels of oil or equivalent does it take to extract and process one barrel of shale-derived oil?), the return on more debt has turned negative, the yield on "saving" bankrupt States is marginal, and so on: spreading insolvency to the taxpayers does not magically create solvency, it only distributes insolvency to every nook and cranny of the economy.

Morning Snapshot Posted on by News (USAGOLD) Gold continues to push higher after leaving the 200-day moving average in the dust yesterday. Today the important 1656.06/1660.43 resistance zone was negated, along with the late-April high at 1671.47. What started out as a technical breakout now has additional underpinning provided by rising expectations of further easing on the part of global central banks, which could drive the market higher in advance of the Feds Jackson Hole Economics Symposium next week and policy announcements by the ECB and Fed in September.

A decidedly more accommodative tone evident in the FOMC minutes from the 31-Jul/01-Aug meeting, with many members in favor of additional measures sooner rather than later in the absence of substantial and sustainable strengthening in the economy. The market is now broadly anticipating that the Fed announces additional measures in the coming weeks.

Weak manufacturing data out of China intensified speculation that the PBoC would ease further as well. And finally, there are rumors circulating based on an article in Die Welt that the ECB is contemplating secret rate targeting. The rate targeting idea is bad enough, but secret rate targeting srikes me as just plain silly, as I explained in an earlier post. However, I do think it is reflective of just how desperate policymakers are to find a way to give the old proverbial can one more kick down the road.

US new home sales +3.6% to 372k, above expectations of 369k, vs upward revised 359k in Jun.

8-22-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  BERNANKE & CO READY TO PROVIDE ANOTHER ROUND { of consistently failed, inflationary QE for the benefit of the wall street frauds only, to the detriment of the real economy and everyone else! This misguided wall street fraud oriented policy is in large part responsible  for the increasingly dismal state of the economy  along with the natural concomitant of rising prices which are blamed on everything but the contraindicated QE which is the primary culprit! } The only news that mattered to the algos and HFTs were nuggets of more QE found in FOMC Minutes released just in time for the 2:15 Buy Program Express to leave the station. More money printing is inflationary and stocks can inflate too so lets not kid ourselves. Perhaps the so-called smart money has been buying stocks in anticipation of this kind of pro-QE3 news; frankly, they would have little other reason to buy this market. Other than Apple (AAPL) which seems to have become the market little else is exciting or stimulative.Meanwhile in the eurozone Spain has found implementing austerity measures to bewell, difficult. Greek Prime Minister Samaras is making the rounds of eurozone governments pleading his case for a two-year extension for austerity reforms. Samaras stated that reforms could be fully implemented by (where will any of us and he be by then?) 2020. Germans have stated they will abide just a little tinkering in that regard.Much was made early Wednesday regarding Japans poor trade deficit (-$6.5 billion) which was caused by weak demand from the eurozone and China. (No surprise there methinks.) After seeing this data Fed Governor, and super money printer, Evans called the report awful so we know which way hes leaning.The NAR (National Association of Realtors), after hitting the send button 30 minutes before schedule, reported Home Sales rose (4.47M vs 4.5M expected & prior 4.37M).

A classic example is an abandoned swimming pool half-filled with fetid water. The stock market is demonstrably an "attractive nuisance" and should be closed immediately. It should never be reopened unless these conditions can be met: 1) All shares must be owned for at least four hours 2) All trading must be executed by humans on a transparent exchange where all trading activity (and open orders) is visible to all participants 3) Intervention in the market by the Federal Reserve or any Central State agency or agents is against the law. If you insist on putting money at risk in the stock market, be aware that you are playing a rigged roulette wheel and thus you are a mark. You might win, or the entire game might collapse in a rotten heap of lies and corruption. Just remember that the market is ruled by parasites who need to keep their hosts (investors) alive so they can continue to feed off them (i.e. biotrophic parasites). If the hosts all leave the market, the parasites will have only themselves to feed on, and they will quickly expire.  ,  Thanks Obama - Here Are 24 Stats That Show How Much You Have Royally Messed Up Our Economy  http://albertpeia.com/24statsshowhowobamamessedupeconomy.htm  ,  8 Economic Threats That We Were Not Even Talking About At The Beginning Of The Summer  http://albertpeia.com/8neweconomicthreats.htm  ,  More Than Half Of All Americans Are At Least Partially Dependent On The Government   http://albertpeia.com/morethanhalfamericansdependentongovernment.htm   ,  Jacob Rothschild, John Paulson And George Soros Are All Betting That Financial Disaster Is Coming  http://albertpeia.com/insidersmartmoneybetsfinancialdisastercoming.htm  ,  US fiscal cliff risks new recession, says report  ,  Gold & Silver off to the races  ,  Eric Sprott: The Financial Systems Death Knell?  ,  Marc Faber On Keynesian Folly, The 'Missing' Inflation, And Bubble-Blowing  ,  With AAPL 19.8% Of The NASDAQ, Is Another Rebalancing Imminent?   ,  Citi Sees Greek Exit As Soon As September  ,  FOMC Minutes Indicate No Shift In Fed's Views, Even As Many Members See More Easing Likely Warranted  ,  The Truth Behind Juncker's Lies: In The Second Largest Greek City, 1250 Companies Have Shuttered In 2012  ,  The Gathering Storm

8-21-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com    THE PRESSURE IS ON THE GERMANS TO BLINK  8-21-12  It would seem as though a more dovish Angela Merkel has emerged with a new willingness for unlimited eurozone bond buying which may include a rate cap at least so reports the Guardian. Also Greek Prime Minister Samaras has headed to Germany to plead for a two year extension to implement mandated and agreed upon reforms. However, according to Bloomberg it appears he may only get small concessions according to the article. Overall markets in the eurozone thought all this news was bullish and bid up both the euro and stocks there. With all this money printing to buy bonds the ECB has chosen inflation as the optimal course even as they would argue that.The theme emerging from the eurozone is a common onerather than address debt and spending the solution seems paper it over (literally) by printing more money.As a consequence of this gold (GLD) and commodity prices in general (DBC), (JJC) and (USO) advanced while the dollar (UUP) declined. Bond (IEF) prices fell early but climbed in the afternoon as stocks sold-off.There was little in the way of economic data or earnings for investors to digest Tuesday. Apple (AAPL) which lately seems to be the market saw some wild trading in a $25 range as an early spike was met by heavy selling. Share volume was double the average and no doubt there was profit-taking. Remember 230 hedge funds hold Apple shares and as good a company as many believe, too much of a good thing isnt wonderful. As mentioned stocks sold-off late as investors may be looking ahead to Wednesdays inspection of FOMC Minutes trying to find a kernel of QE3. It didnt help that Fed Governor Lacker saw no need for any QE3 now.Heres an interesting chart of the day. Guess when the income tax was initiated. (We had to pay for the war to end all wars and I guess were still fighting.)  http://albertpeia.com/incometaxforwar.jpg   Once again overall volume was light and breadth per the WSJ was mildly negative…’,  FORGET EUROPE THIS IS A REAL CRISIS TO BE AFRAID OF   http://albertpeia.com/usfoodcrisis.htm   ,  What 40 Years Of Gold Confiscation By The US Government Looks Like   ZeroHedge.com  The chart below, which is a time series showing the total "Gold Held by the US Treasury and the Federal Reserve" (which for all intents and purposes are interchangeable), demonstrates vividly the moment when the US government enacted Executive Order 6102, aka the "forbidding the Hoarding of Gold Coin, Gold Bullion, and Gold Certificates within the continental United States" order which criminalized the possession of monetary gold "by any individual, partnership, association or corporation." But not the government of course. Spot the moment after which gold confiscation by the US government (also known as a 40% USD devaluation) from its citizens was legalized.  ,  Guest Post: The Death Of Jobs  The sit-back-and-relax 'buy and hold' strategy that unqualified portfolio managers banked on for so many years has perished in this highly leveraged, central-banking-dominated environment. There is something, though, that is more troubling for the US economy, and specifically middle-class laborers: Robotics. The reality is that this atypical Great Recession has forced business owners to become savvy: businesses have learned how to operate--and even thrive--in this dry economic environment, and the main tool that has allowed them to do so is cost-cutting.  Unfortunately for the labor market, these cost-reduction techniques  are sticking, and for the time being business owners (particularly manufacturers) see no reason to add more human employees when they can purchase robots at a cheaper rate.  ,  Japanese Trade Implosion Sends Futures To Lows  Somewhat disastrous trade balance data from Japan - with exports dramatically worse-than-expected (EU exports -25.1% YoY) and imports worse-than-expected (which will come as no surprise to any ZH reader given Europe's depression and our discussion of world trade here) - has crushed JPY crosses overnight (especially AUDJPY) which is exactly what we said at the close today was required to extend today's equity weakness. Sure enough, S&P 500 futures are down over 6 points from the close now - and trading below day-session lows.  ,  What Happened After Europe's Last Three Currency "Unions" Collapsed  It may come as a surprise to some of our younger readers, that the Eurozone, and its associated currency, is merely the latest in a long series of failed attempts to create a European currency union and a common currency. Three of the most notable predecessors to the EUR include the Hapsburg Empire, the Soviet Union, and Yugoslavia. Obviously, these no longer exist. Just as obvious, all of these unions, having spent time, energy, money, and effort to change the culture and traditions of member countries and to perpetuate said unions, had no desire, just like Brussels nowadays, to see these unions implode. The question then is: what happened after these multi-nation currency unions fails. VOX kindly answers: "they all ended with disastrous hyperinflation."  ,  Another Signal That The Rally Is Unsustainable  We have discussed the broad divergences between high-yield credit and equity markets (the former not enjoying the ebullience of the latter) and noted the dismal volume and average trade size of the most recent surge to new highs. Barclays points out one more concerning factor in the rally - the very unusual underperformance of lower quality, higher beta credit. Typically, the B-rated-and-below credits will majorly outperform in any real risk-on rally (just as they did in the first quarter of the year), however, in the last 2-3 months of equity exuberance, this has not been the case at all - as it seems the rally has been used to position in higher quality names (and remain liquid). Just another glimpse of the matrix under the surface.  ,  Guest Post: The Spain ECB Vaudeville Show  If you still require proof that in the short term, market action is driven by perceptions and sentiment rather than reality, here it is. It is worth quoting again what Mrs. Merkel said in Ottawa in toto:The European Central Bank, although it is of course independent, is completely in line with what weve said all along. And the results of the meeting of the central bank and their decisions, actually shows that the European Central Bank is counting on political action in the form of conditionality as the precondition for a positive development of the Euro.Does this sound like 'unlimited bond buying without preconditions' to anyone? No? Investors seemed to think that is what it meant. We see no painless way out for Spain, regardless of what ultimately happens. Even if the ECB were to act without conditionality or limits, it could not possibly alter the underlying solvency problems -  and this isn't going to happen anyway. So what are markets currently pricing in? Everybody seems quite certain of a happy end at the moment. The bet is that massive central bank intervention is heading our way in the near future and will boost asset prices further. This is a mindset that has very likely set up the markets for disappointment.  ,  Niall "Hit The Road Barack" Ferguson Responds To The "Liberal Blogosphere"  Two days ago, historian Niall Fergsuon had the temerity to voice a personal opinion, one which happens to not exactly jive with the rest of the media's take on current events, on the cover page of Newsweek (Newsweek is still in print?) titled, succinctly enough, "Hit the road Barack: Why we need a new president." The response was fast, furious, and brutal, particularly emanating from what Ferguson has dubbed the "liberal blogosphere."  http://albertpeia.com/hittheroadborackanddontyoucomebacknomorenomorenomorenomore.htm

8-20-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  SUMMER IS BOILING WHILE TRADING IS COLD 8-20-12  Apple (AAPL) seems the only stock investors care about as it rallies to become the worlds most valuable company. Microsoft (MSFT) had that honor in the dotcom heyday in 1999 as everybody needed a PC then. The chart below compares the two monsters performance as each soared over different time periodshat tip Zero Hedge  http://albertpeia.com/chartapplmsft.jpg  And, yes I know its different this time and many believe Apple is a much superior company now than Microsoft was back then. The weighting of the stock to many ETFs, particularly in technology, is nearly 20% which can give a false impression of how markets are truly behaving. (This is why its useful to compare the QQQs with equal weighted QQEW to get some perspective.) The PE of the stock is reasonable clearly but the twists and turns of technology never are. The next I got to have it gizmo from the company is the iPhone 5 which promises to be a little bigger and faster. When you upgrade to a new phone its matched by a new phone plan which is never cheap. Further there are some rumblings from China that some wireless operators there wont service the phone. The company is also in the process of developing and releasing a mini-iPad the need for which is vague to an old fogy like me. Anyway the stock shows few signs of being sold and dominates most institutional and retail portfolios. Rumors of stock splits and the company being added to the DJIA continue to be supportive as well. Meanwhile back to the duller and pedestrian stock markets has offered little action. Most likely investors are waiting first for FOMC Minutes on Wednesday to find some nugget that might support QE3. If few are found or spun then its on to Jackson Hole for Bernanke and Draghi to act or not. Away from Apple there has been some news from Caterpillar (CAT) which was a warning about weak economic conditions but the stock rallied. In China house prices rose and food inflation is on the move higher. Taken together this should restrict stimulus one would think. Meanwhile in the eurozone there is plenty of controversy regarding more lending. One rumor quickly shot down was the ECB would place a cap on bond buying by only buying when certain interest rates rose above a target. Spain has stated they want unlimited bond buying without conditions. While Merkel herself has been more dovish such is not the case with politics within Germany. The Bundestag has restated its objections to new bond buying as has the finance minister.Moodys has gotten into the swing of things by suggesting that California municipal bond bankruptcies are likely to expand. Popular muni bond ETFs like (MUB) didnt react period such is the low level of confidence investors have in rating agencies. Investors fear taxes more evidently.Goldman Sachs Chief Strategist David Kostin has been pleading with clients to sell their equities before the fiscal cliff arrives. Meanwhile Goldman Sachs strategist Abby Joseph Cohen remains bullish. Who to believe? Theyll tell you with hindsight.Stocks overall chugged along at a snails pace with early selling. But, this was met with some persistent late day buying. Volume was ridiculously light even for a Monday in August or a half-day of trading around the holidays. Breadth per the WSJ was modestly negative. (This is going to be another really short post thanks to little action.) ETF Portfolio Quick Tip: Russell Investments is going to shutter all its index-based ETFs on the heels of the closure of similar issues from Focus Shares. I have written for several years about being careful regarding repetitive ETFs, low assets under management and trading volume. In our soon to be released Best U.S. Equity ETFs we only select an issue or two in each category that can make a difference.

The article reported that the ECB would set limits to the yields of periphery country debt and intervene should these limits be breached. This weighed on the German Bund from the Eurex open and saw the Spanish curve trade lower by 25bps to 35b ps, as well as buoying the EUR currency and riskier assets in early trade. Risk-on moves in EUR and DAX futures were retraced as the ECB denied these reports, saying that it was misleading to report on decisions not yet taken, though it will act within its mandate. A German finance ministry spokesman also denied all knowledge of the reports a short while before hand. Furthermore, the latest monthly bulletin from the Bundesbank that once again reiterated the disapproving German stance toward the ECB's controversial bond-buying programme also dampened the mood.

Living In A Land Beyond Belief

Buy everything I say without limit. Leverage each purchase to the maximum allowed under the law. The markets will only go up and not down and 100,000 is the next stop for the S&P. It is to be Dow without Jones, assets without liabilities and wealth without poverty. The Middle Class has been evacuated and everyone is wealthy beyond belief. It is just there, of course, that the truth lies in this merry old land, beyond belief.

8-17-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  SUMMER RALLY CONTINUES ON LITTLE NEWS  8-17-12  Economic data from the U.S. featured better Consumer Sentiment (73.6 vs 72.2 expected & prior 72.3). Within this data we must remember stock prices carry a heavier weighting than with Consumer Confidence data which has been weaker. Further within todays report the future expectations index declined to 64.5 vs 65.6 previously. Leading Economic Indicators rose (.4% vs .2% expected & prior -.3%). Algos dont look much under the hood of datathey dont have timetheyve got to get the trades off immediatelyas in milliseconds. In China the government is anxious about real estate and real estate developers as their loans sour. If youve traveled much to China youll see plenty of ghost cities amid rampant speculation. Nevertheless, and as noted yesterday, China is said to prepare reducing bank reserve requirements. So as much as the government worries about speculation theyre more worried about economic growth which is stagnating. In Europe, Angela Merkel continues to confound experts and hawks within her coalition. They say shes the dove among German politicians and may even want to offer concessions to Greece on another bailout. This will certainly inflame her coalition partners in the Bundestag. Stocks continued their slow light volume advance unfazed by much of anything frankly. Apples (AAPL) earnings have a 5% impact on S&P 500 earnings which is outsized. The company itself has nearly a 20% weighting in most tech sector indexes and ETFs making it the Atlas of the market. It was announced today that Apple is starting production of a mini-iPad and why, I dont know. The iPhone 5 will be released soon enough and I really wonder how many people would want the upgrademaybe in China. Besides, the new larger size will require cargo pants most likely. Meanwhile left on an ice-floe to die is Facebook (FB) & (SOCL) where social media isnt in the game. The dollar (UUP) was slightly higher as was gold (GLD) which only adds to the confusion. Commodities (DBC) were higher and so too were bonds (TLT). Oil prices (USO) continue to rise which will dampen consumer sentiment soon enough. There is some talk of releasing supplies from the SPR but that would be too political. That hasnt stopped politicians before. Given weekly DeMark indicators, we took profits in many equity ETF positions Monday in Daves Special Portfolioour active ETF portfolio for subscribers. This also included fixed income and quite a few popular dividend ETFs. Our lazy portfolios are fully invested currently and benefitting from the recent rally.

For example you might use SH to hedge your overall equity exposure. We incorporate this strategy in our Lazy Hedged Growth Portfolio.

Rule of law means nothing. Free speech means nothing. Their own treaties mean nothing. Its unbelievable. Anyone in the west who honestly thinks hes still living in a free society is either a fool or completely out of touch. If that seems too radical an idea, consider that ECUADOR is now the only nation which stands to defend freedom and human rights against an assault from the United States, the United Kingdom, and their spineless allies. The west has just become a giant banana republic. Have you hit your breaking point yet? If not now when?  { { Im really constrained to interject my own direct experience with the FBI here; and, I must say I do so lamentably. If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the tough questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal drug ops (opsriiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You cant make this stuff up. I also dont believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. Im beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the federal (judicial) system who share the same employer; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared more fairly with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:  Debauchery: An American specialty In the land of Lindsay Lohan and Snooki, some federal workers reflect our culture all too well. (Washington Post) [ Lindsay Lohan? Come on Mr. Milbank, hands off the low hanging fruit. Shes totally harmless. Jersey italian snooki? In mob infested new jersey, who knows (one of the properties in my proceedings for which surplus funds are unaccounted for was a 2 bedroom 1 and 1/2 bath condominium in seaside heights, n.j.). But debauchery an american specialty? Another rare instance wherein I agree with Mr. Milbank completely. 25 Signs That America Is A Seething Cesspool Of Filth And Corruption http://albertpeia.com/25signsamericacesspooloffilthcrimeandcorruption.htm . Review of flawed forensics held close to vest EXCLUSIVE | Documents and interviews show FBI and Justice Department officials took steps to control information uncovered by a task force designed to examine cases involving discredited agents. Many defendants were never notified of flaws in cases. Simply unconscionable (Washington Post) [ Well, I really have to say this. Im awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ) . Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed the level and extent of corruption and criminality within the ranks of the u.s. government before embarking upon this costly quest for justice and simple fairness consistent with clear law (infra, regarding the u.s. governments direct involvement in the illegal drug trade). In this civil RICO matter, there are no innocent bystanders; but rather, perpetrators, accomplices, and co-conspirators. When the fbi agent initially assigned to this matter (Connecticut) abruptly resigned/retired shortly after a conversation, though not central to my case, wherein I had said that rudy giulianis father had been an (convicted) enforcer for the mob (served 12 years? in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter?) and then sent him documentation owing to his disbelief. Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard. I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agents departure who somewhat plaintively (my call being a burden) told me that he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari, which he didnt explain further. Could anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jerseys FBI office, I was greeted by an FBI Agent who sarcastically asked me whether I was going to the disco that night (the documents including sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alitos office in the same building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   . We all can infer sam alitos reward / quid pro quo for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme court.  There was never a question as to maryanne trump barrys interest in corrupting the judicial process as related to her brothers (trump) casinos. Jersey city boy louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klayman as the most corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly holders impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvds sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference. Im currently being stonewalled by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI Agent Bill Lewis.

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

ATF Chief Melson:Justice Department trying to shield officials (LATimes) Serrano

 I believe him!

 I truly empathize with the ATF in terms of government cover-ups, notably by even the DOJ. You’ll recognize some familiar names (ie., Alito, Trump, Freeh (Louis Freeh now has dual citizenship with Italy), and some familiar crimes (ie., drug money laundering, etc. – real cash cow for gov’t ops, bribes, etc.). [Did you know this about the following ATF Agents who were probably viewed as loose ends: Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeahan & Conway LeBleu:   Died February 28, 1993 by gunfire at Waco. All four were examined by a pathologist and died from identical wounds to the left temple. All four had been body guards for Bill Clinton, three while campaigning for President and when he was Governor of Arkansas.They also were the ONLY 4 BATF agents killed at Waco. ]

Heres some real, complicit cover-up / fraud on the part of the federal government, et als:

October 15, 2010 (*see infra {ultimately delivered by UPS})

Steven M. Martinez, Assistant Director In Charge
Federal Bureau of Investigation, USDOJ
11000 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1700
Los Angeles, CA 90024

Dear Sir:

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computers browser) as per your offices request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which Ive installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named 112208opocoan). The (civil) RICO action (as youre aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBIs LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation Andrew Maloneys the one that prosecuted gotti).

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..

Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.

The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages:   [  Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File        Page 1                Page 2          ]

Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) .

Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.],   Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

[ This is a reply to the Congresswoman’s query among others included.]

11-5-11

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. 43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [ http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world ] ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

Tales Of The Unexpected: Who Really Benefited From The Euro (Hint: NOT Germany)  ,  Guest Post: A Final Word On Those "Robust" July Retail Sales The retail sales figures from that perspective show a couple of very clear points: 1. Last year's Christmas season was not only weak and disappointing, it may have marked the inflection point in consumer spending (at least as far as retail sales measure); 2. The July "improvement" is far less impressive. June 2012 had an extra holiday shopping weekend, but registered only a 3.3% improvement over June 2011. Without an extra holiday weekend, July 2012 saw almost identical year-over-year growth; 3.4%. No matter what or how weekends were arranged within the calendar context, non-adjusted growth was not really all that inspiring in either month. If this inflection in consumption is indeed valid, it makes sense that the early part of 2012 would then experience economic volatility revenue pressures at firms cause them to cut back on capex or re-investment in real projects, including a decrease in the pace of hiring new workers. Manufacturing falls off (seen in the ISM and regional Fed surveys) as reduced demand from businesses works its way back into this vicious cycle of employment malaise where job growth is consistently and vitally below population growth or labor force expansion. As government transfers drop off, the segment of the economy under the gun of stagnation rises in proportion and the bifurcated economy becomes more so except that as the troubled half grows it inevitably pulls down the half doing relatively well. What looks like a muddle of weak growth is really the rot of monetary intrusions eating at what should be a free market-driven reset to the previous dislocation of failures from past monetary episodes. And it is all in the name of some ephemeral wealth.  ,  Face-Off: FaceBerg Groupon'd At Half-Off IPO Price

8-16-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   QE TALK & MERKEL PROP STOCKS 8-16-12 Not to take anything away from Cisco (CSCO) earnings which beat by a penny both on earnings and revenue, but the thrust of Thursdays rally came mostly on the heels of talk from on high. Former Fed governor Plosser stated via the WSJ that Bernankes recent comments indicate QE3 is likely but he is against it. Also, Angela Merkel revived talk that the euro must be saved as she and the ECB were committed to do. Of course, her comments dont mean some current eurozone members like Greece will remain. China was also cited as a stimulus for a rally Thursday as investors expect the government to cut bank reserve requirements. Basically its all about expectations and talk but nothing beyond this. The euro situation will continue its wax on/wax off conditions; bulls will expect more QE; and, China will stimulate. Leaving CSCOs beat and dividend increase aside, Walmart (WMT) also beat but the stock was sold. Facebook (FB) with restricted stock now available for sale made fresh lows. Lets remember earnings arent that great overall, guidance has been modest to weak overall, GDP is declining but bulls are looking ahead to more money printing. After all todays economic news was not supportive with the Philly Fed (-7.1 vs -5 expected); Jobless Claims were weak (366K vs 366K and as more fall off the rolls); and, Housing Starts and Permits were mixed. In fact as per the latter it was the fourth worst reading on housing starts since 2009 and 2010. The dollar (UUP) weakened on Merkels comments and gold (GLD) rallied; bonds (IEF) & (TLT) continued to see higher yields as investors rotate to stocks; and, with the dollar weaker commodities (DBC) & (USO) were stronger.

So dear ZH readers, take it away, although keep in mind Long-Term Capital Vaporization LP appears to already have been taken by a patent troll (soon to be likely sued by YHOO).  ,  Guest Post: Financialization's Self-Destruct Sequence  Like all systems that follow an S-curve of growth and decay, financialization cannot return to its growth phase. But there is another dynamic at play: a self-destruct sequence triggered by central bank and Central State efforts to reflate asset and credit/leverage bubbles. All central bank and State policies aimed at driving capital into risk assets boil down to reflating phantom assets purchased with debt by issuing more debt that is based on newly issued phantom assets. Phantom assets purchased with debt cannot be reflated by issuing more debt that is based on newly issued phantom assets. Piling more debt/leverage on a sandpile of phantom assets (CDS, bonds that cannot possibly be paid back, empty condos in the middle of nowhere, etc.) only heightens the probability that the unstable pile will collapse. The implicit Central Planning campaign to trigger "mild" inflation is part of the self-destruct sequence. Central planners metaphorically fight the last war, or at best the last two wars, and so they remain blind to any dynamics that did not exist in their case studies.  ,  Deleveraging Needed In Next 4 Years: $28 Trillion  Over the past several years, there has been much speculation and numerous reports that America is deleveraging. It isn't. In fact, consolidated across the 5 different kinds of American debt, which takes into account not only federal, but also financial, municipal, household and non-financial, total debt as a percentage of GDP has not budged over the past 4 years and is flat at 350% of GDP. Which simply means that all of the household debt that has supposedly vaporized (at least until the next major Flow of Funds revision), all of which has taken place purely from discharges on uncollectable mortgage and credit card debt, has been replaced by federal debt, while financial debt has merely soared to take the place of the collapsing shadow debt which is imploding as the confidence in a Fed-free financial system erodes to zero. Which of course, is the worst possible outcome: instead of funding private, individual entrepreneurs, who are the true basis for America's historic growth, prosperity and success (and who, unlike the government can and will fail if they dont allocated capital efficiently) the transferred debt (from household to federal) merely goes to fund the unproductive components of the US economy: the US government which by definition produces nothing, and the financial sector, whose only product is financial innovation which serves to make the TBTFs TBTFer, and pay record bonus after record bonus, and... that's it.  ,  Ann Romney on tax returns: Theres nothing were hiding "I paid taxes every single year" is how Mitt Romney retorts to Harry Reid's charge that he paid no taxes in some years.

LIBOR, Bernie Madoff, MF Global, Peregrine Financial, zero-percent interest rates, the Social Security and Medicare entitlement funds, many state and municipal pension funds, mark-to-model asset values, quote stuffing and high frequency trading (HFT), and debt-based money? The answer is that every single thing in that list is an example of market rigging, fraud, or both. How are we supposed to make decisions in todays rigged and often fraudulent market environment? Where should you put your money if you dont know where the risks lie? How does one control risk when control fraud runs rampant? Unfortunately, there are no perfect answers to these questions. Instead, the task is to recognize what sort of world we happen to live in today and adjust ones actions to the realities as they happen to be. The purpose of this report is not to stir up resentment or anger -- although those are perfectly valid responses to the abuses we are forced to live with -- but to simply acknowledge the landscape as it is so that we can make informed decisions.

 

Guest Post: Assange Or Corzine? The issue at hand is the sense that we have entered a phase of exponential criminality and corruption. A slavering crook like Corzine who stole $200 million of clients funds can walk free. Meanwhile, a man who exposed evidence of serious war crimes is for that act so keenly wanted by US authorities that Britain has threatened to throw hundreds of years of diplomatic protocol and treaties into the trash and raid the embassy of another sovereign state to deliver him to a power that seems intent not only to criminalize him, but perhaps even to summarily execute him. The Obama administration, of course, has made a habit of summary extrajudicial executions of those that it suspects of terrorism, and the detention and prosecution of whistleblowers. And the ooze of large-scale financial corruption, rate-rigging, theft and fraud goes on unpunished.

Conflict Brewing Between UK And Ecuador As Latin American Country Agrees To Grant Asylum To Assange  Are we about to see a mini-war on UK soil, if and when Britain decides to storm the Ecuadorian embassy, which moments ago announced it has granted asylum to Julian Assange? From Reuters: "Ecuador granted political asylum to Julian Assange on Thursday, ratcheting up tension in a standoff with Britain which has warned it could revoke the diplomatic status of Quito's embassy in London to allow the extradition of the WikiLeaks founder. The high-profile Australian former hacker has been holed up inside the red-brick embassy in central London for eight weeks since he lost a legal battle to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he is wanted for questioning over rape allegations. Ecuadorean Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino said he feared for the safety and rights of Assange which is why he said his country had decided to grant him asylum. "Ecuador has decided to grant political asylum to Julian Assange," Patino told a news conference in Quito. Ecuador's decision takes what has become an international soap opera to new heights since Assange first angered the United States and its allies by publishing secret U.S. diplomatic cables on his WikiLeaks website." The UK, needless to say, is not happy, and the UK foreign ministry has said it will carry out binding obligation to extradite Assange to Sweden. Looks like posturing is about to hit a crescendo and someone will have to do something. Because foreign politics and diplomacy is (luckily) not central planning.

 

Buchanan: 'Obama has steadily diminished both himself and the office he holds'...  { Indeed he has; and, that’s putting it mildly! }  ‘…In an ad produced by the super PAC Priorities USA, Mitt Romney is charged with moral, if not material, complicity in the cancer death of the wife of a Missouri steelworker. Speaking straight into the camera, Joe Soptic, 62, charges Romney with coldly shutting down the plant where he worked and cutting off his health insurance. This, says Soptic, left his wife without insurance to pay for her care, until, falling ill, she went to a doctor, who discovered stage 4 cancer, which killed her in 22 days.Soptic implies a causal connection between Romney’s decision to shut the plant and his wife’s death. The ad is a premeditated attempt to murder the reputation of Mitt Romney. And from start to finish, it is a deception. The truth. Mitt Romney gave up leadership of Bain Capital in 1999. The steel plant was closed in 2001. Soptic lost his health insurance, but his wife was still working and had hers. She lost her job and insurance in 2003.

8-15-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   Its hard to imagine markets being this quietly determined to move higher without any dissent. Bears are in hibernation consistently put-off by fear of QE3 and HAL 9000s. (Rosengrens & Fisher duel over QE.) Economic data remains mixed with some better housing data but much worse manufacturing data given todays poor Empire State Mfg Survey (-5.85 vs 7 expected & prior 7). Within that data was very poor employment trends and much higher prices paid data.The CPI came in flat which was strange given the 20% rise in most energy prices. The Homebuilders Sentiment rose to 37 from 35 which is the highest since February 2007 but we know what happened after that. Industrial Production was slightly higher (.6%) and energy inventories dropped substantially allowing for more price gains.A chart from the Fed shows completed new homes and presents a rather different picture. http://albertpeia.com/newhousingunitscompleted.jpg   Meanwhile eurozone bulls remain enthusiastic there will be a fix even as Germans continue to shout nein, nein, nein. I guess bulls just dont believe German rhetoric.Little noticed in headlines are higher energy costs stimulated by more war talk with Iran and much lower inventory data. Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE just ordered all their citizens to leave Lebanon immediately as the Syrian conflict escalates and headlines shout Israel is preparing an attack on Iran. Given such a publicized headline might mean its not going to happen, at least not right away. If Obama is successful in securing a second term I doubt hell be attacking anyone other than RNC headquarters.Beneath the surface are some disturbing preparations the government is engaging in. The Fed and Treasury have asked the TBTF banks to prepare an emergency plan should there be an economic collapse. Homeland Security has been practicing for civil disorder on a massive scale. Over the past two days several articles have appeared suggesting various government agencies are ordering massive amounts of deadly hollow point bullets as noted. This is all quite disturbing and not denied by the government. I sound paranoid.As noted stocks continued their stealth rally led mostly by tech (XLK), bonds continued to sell-off during current auction, commodity prices (DBC) were higher, and the dollar (UUP) was slightly stronger putting gold (GLD) back on the defensive.Trading volume is the lowest since 2007 as the summer wears on and most investors must be awaiting Jackson Hole results.

But the truth is that at least Europe is taking small steps to rectify its historic profligacy and is at least pretending to be implementing austerity (in some cases actually truly doing so). How about the US. Well, the chart below should answer that particular question. Because while the consolidated GDP of the US and Europe are nearly identical, they differ very materially in terms of both fiscal deficit, and total Debt/GDP.

The notably business-man-background Fisher was wonderfully heretical in explaining that additional stimulus would have little impact, that the Fed's action would indeed 'look political', and that "US lawmakers need to get their fiscal act together." While he doesn't see a high likelihood of a recession in 2013, he comprehends clearly the wait-and-see 'defensive crouch' that businesses are in given the huge uncertainty.

Critically, as Citi points out, lower yields require much higher rates of saving (both corporates and households) and while 10% of salary allocated to 'retirement savings' will meet its goals with a 4% return hurdle, at current low yields, the average-joe in the street will need to 'save' 25% of his income - cutting heavily into his current consumptive and discretionary iPad needs.  ,  Summarizing America's Record Drought In One Picture  ,  Crude Spikes On Renewed Mid-East War Fears As Saudi Arabia Recalls Lebanon Citizens  ,  Guest Post: We Are All Muppets Now  Muppets only complain when the prop jobs and skimming fail to deliver fat gains to their accounts.

The game is rigged, but the greed of the player overrides his skepticism and caution. The same can be said for pension funds and all the other institutional players. Desperate for yield, they've foolishly ponied up hundreds of billions of dollars to play 3-card monte with crooked dealers and a crooked house.  ,  On GDP vs Equity Returns, Bill Gross Is In Fact Right...

8-14-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com    DATA MANIPULATION UNDER COVER Retail Sales data was released Tuesday and on the surface the headline data was a pleasant surprise. Expectations were for a rise of .3% but the number came in at .8%. One very sour note was June data was revised to -.7% from -.5% which was a bummer. But the real story was in a new calculation method by the census bureau (ably assisted by the Bank of SpainI kid you not) changed their methodology for seasonal adjustments as noted HERE & HERE. Without this adjustment the data would have showed a -.9% decline. This follows along with all the adjustments made in the CPI (released tomorrow) since 1980 that made inflation data always look better ultimately and Employment data with birth/death adjustments.Other data released today included the PPI (.3% vs .2% expected & prior .1%) and Business Inventories which fell (.1% vs .2% expected & prior .3%)In the eurozone German Economic Minister Phillip Roesler stated Greece would not get a third aid package if it did not implement reforms, stating: We dont want the Greek government to be insolvent but we could deal with the consequences if necessary.While German economic data was weak, it wasnt as weak as feared Tuesday causing a rally in the DAX. Nevertheless the 17 nation EMU economy overall is moving into recession with -.2% GDP. But expectations are high the ECB and other central banks would be injecting more liquidity and bailouts sending most shares higher. Speaking of central banks, the Bank of Japan released minutes indicating they would be will to do more QE and the PBOC is now actively in the process of doing reverse repos providing short term lending to banks.Earnings saw good results from Home Depot (HD) but more disasters in social media stocks (SOCL) where (ZNGA), (FB) and now (GRPN) have lost nearly $58 billion since their share issuance. This is reminiscent of the dotcom days.The dollar (UUP) was flat and gold (GLD) was weaker. Crude oil (USO) recovered from Mondays late selling given ongoing troubles in Norway, Iran sanctions and Middle East tensions. Commodity markets (DBC) overall were mildly higher with energy but weakness in agricultural markets. Bond markets (IEF) were weaker in advance of another round of auctions Wednesday.U.S. stocks drifted about aimlessly and are no doubt waiting for more important data as this week unfolds. Further bulls look for a QE3 outcome from the Jackson Hole rendezvous near the end of the month.Volume was once again very light and breadth per the WSJ was mildly negative…’  ,  You Will Not Believe What Some People Are Willing To Do For A Paycheck These Days  http://albertpeia.com/desperateforapaycheck.htm   ,  Dan Loeb Purges Portfolio, Cuts Over Two Thirds Of Equity Holdings, Adds 25 New Positions   ZeroHedge.com  ,  S&P 500 Futures 'Plunge' 1.25 Points - Most In 10 Days!  ,  Bill Gross On Where "Bad Bonds Go To Die": Joins Paul Singer In Hatred Of Treasurys  A week ago we brought you Elliott Management's summary opinion on US paper: "We Make This Recommendation To Our Friends: If You Own US Debt Sell It Now."

In other words, Std Chartered's IRR for committing years of crime is 714%. Finally this is a whopping 1.9% of the bank's entire 2011 revenues, or in other words they had to hand over 7 days of revenue (assuming a 365 day work week). Of course there are other fines/penalties to come but it looks like someone got a little over-excited at the regulators or as we note, STANCHART had some bottom-drawer details no one wanted outed. And now, employees of US "regulators," "enforcers" and various other "crime fighting" organizations can look forward to submitting their resumes to the British banks all over again.  ,  What Happened The Last Two Times VIX Closed Below 15%?  VIX has only rarely traded below 15% during 'new normal' times. The period from 2004 to early 2007, the so-called 'Great Moderation', saw VIX average 13.6% - at the time stunningly low (and notably where VIX closed yesterday). While looking at VIX alone can be misleading (with regard to the term structure differences and realized vol premia), it is nevertheless a gauge of market's expectations of return volatility in the short-term - however contemporaneous that is. Following the two times that VIX first closed below 15%, the S&P 500 has suffered from a 5.25% and 7.75% plunge in the following two months - and each time saw a quick post-VIX-plunge pop in stocks that provided better entry levels for shorts. High Yield credit also stumbled hard widening 80 and 150bps respectively.  ,  Guest Post: Heightened Expectations And The Collapse Of Credibility  ,  Mark Grant And Rick Santelli On Europe: "It's A Ponzi Scheme To Be Honest With You"   ,  Mystery Of July Retail Sales "Beat" Solved: It Is All In The "Seasonal Adjustment"  The July retail sales beat came as a surprise to many: an 0.8% increase (full series here) at a time when the data was supposed to grow at less than half this would surely be indicative of a potential turnaround in the US economy. Then we decided to do a quick spot check if maybe the Census Bureau had not adopted one of the BLS' worst habits: fudging seasonal adjustment factors. The reason for this is because we happened to notice that Not Seasonally Adjusted (full series here) retail sales data in July actually declined by 0.9% from $405.8 to $402 billion. Of course, if the Census Bureau was using a consistent, or at least remotely comparable July seasonal adjustment factor as it has in the past, this would make sense and we would move on. So we decided to look at what the July seasonal adjustment variance over the past decade has been. What we found would have shocked us if indeed this is not precisely what we expected: with the July seasonal adjustment factor routinely subtracting a substantial amount from the NSA number, averaging at -$5.2 billion, in 2012, for the first time this decade, the seasonal adjustment not only did not subtract, but in fact added "value" to the NSA number, resulting in a seasonally adjusted number that was $1.9 billion higher than the NSA number at $403.9 billion.  ,  The Financial Decline In Europe Continues  As Industrial Production falls -0.6% in Europe and as the economy shrinks -0.2% there is once again a good reason to pause to consider the ramifications for this going forward. When you sit back and take a hard look at the last two years you begin to learn a few things. If you just stick to the actual data and forget the rhetoric that surrounds it the picture becomes clearer. Each and every projection for Greece, Spain and Italy that has been forecast by the EU and the IMF has been wrong; dead wrong. Europe is getting worse and not better. Whether you turn your attention to Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal or even Ireland; it is getting worse. Nowhere on the Continent are things improving and even in France and Germany the financial strains are beginning to show. It is not a question of Euro-bear or Euro-bull; it is just the numbers as they come rolling out month after month. It is the banks, it is the sovereigns and grand visions must, in the end, give way to the facts.

Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  COMPLACENCY IN LATE AUGUST  8-13-12 { Complacency? More like insanity as market reactions were the logical opposites to what the data would dictate, infra. But, that’s been true for quite some time on fraudulent wall street.  } ‘Many investors follow the VIX (CBOE Volatility Indicator) which measures put buying on the S&P 100 Index. Readings become elevated when the VIX rises above 20. When it rises greater than 30, generally “fear” would be dominant. When the indicator is below 20 “complacency” is present as put buying (betting equity prices would decline) falls. The VIX has been steadily falling the past month and has reached lows not seen since March (13.66) just before the previous correction took place. The record VIX low in contemporary views was in late December 2006 (8.6) and we know what happened the following February as investors started to confront financial issues with a major bear market in next pushing the reading above 20. Currently the VIX fell below 14 which is close enough to where we were in March. Also, as you’ll note from within the chart below we’re now at a weekly Demark sequential 9 count which is often a precursor to “trend exhaustion”. It’s not a perfect indicator, and few are, but given its nearness to March lows plus a light volume rally we should be impressed by it. It was enough to cause us to lighten up equity exposure at the opening of trading on Monday. Sometimes a reading like this will fail to produce a reaction and the indicated market may just move sideways or ignore it entirely. (Sideways was what occurred January 2012 with previous 9.) If the market ignores it may only be because volume is so light pricing insurance via puts is more difficult. One thing the VIX isn’t from my experience is a shorting indicator from this reading meaning a time to step aside. Also fading ZIRP and QE hasn’t been a winning strategy of late. If so, and markets just continue higher, we’ll just have to get back in the markets as before. That said, for subscribers to the ETF Digest we noted on Friday that of the 600 ETFs and indexes we monitor, over 200 had weekly 9 readings. That’s impressive.I put this out there for your interest knowing perhaps it will lead to little in this odd environment we’re in.The VIX fell even more on Monday as late day dip buyers stepped quickly into markets in the afternoon. It may take a week or two to know if this DeMark view is effective or not. Further there are other tools available to assess the situation.Meanwhile in the eurozone a lawsuit was filed in Germany challenging the legality of the ESM (European Stability Mechanism) which may cause a delay. A rather bizarre article from Bloomberg discussed confusingly the situation with Germany specifically. Also key members of the German government are hinting at no further assistance for Greece which shouldn’t surprise. Perhaps we’ve dragged the Greek drama out long enough that a failure would be nonevent.Stocks were lower from the opening and the DJIA was down nearly 100 points only to rally once again on dip buying in the afternoon. Homebuilder stocks (XHB & ITB) were much higher despite new home sales being 50% below average. The dollar (UUP) was weaker as the euro rose oddly given the lawsuit; gold (GLD) was lower; bonds (IEF) were slightly weaker; and, commodities overall were weaker (DBC) particularly as grains (JJG) sold-off. Volume remains incredibly light even by mid-August standards but more economic data should change that starting Tuesday.

David Martins Thirteen Rules for Truth Suppression,  H. Michael Sweeneys 25 Rules of Disinformation (and now Brandon Smiths Disinformation: How It Works) are classic lessons on how to spot disruption and disinformation tactics.

Weve seen a number of tactics come and go over the years.  Here are the ones we see a lot of currently.

#1.  Start a partisan divide-and-conquer fight or otherwise push emotional buttons to sew discord and ensure that cooperation is thwarted.   Get people fighting against each other instead of the corrupt powers-that-be.  Use baseless caricatures to rile everyone up.  For example,  start a religious war whenever possible using stereotypes like all Jews are selfish, all Christians are crazy or all Muslims are terrorists.  Accuse the author of being a gay, pro-abortion limp-wristed wimp  or being a fundamentalist pro-war hick when the discussion has nothing to do with abortion, sexuality, religion, war or region.  Appeal to peoples basest prejudices and biases. And as Sweeney explains push the author into a defensive posture:

Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as kooks, right-wing, liberal, left-wing, terrorists, conspiracy buffs, radicals, militia, racists, religious fanatics, sexual deviates, and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.

#2.  Pretend its hopeless because well be squashed if we try.  For example, every time a whistleblower leaks information, say hes going to be bumped off.   If people talk about protesting, organizing, boycotting, shareholder activism, spreading the real facts, moving our money or taking other constructive action, write things to scare and discourage people, say something like  we dont have any chance because they have drones and theyll just kill us if we try,  or Americans are too stupid, lazy and greedy, so theyll never help out.  Encourage people to be apathetic instead of trying to change things.

#3.  Demand complete, fool-proof and guaranteed solutions to the problems being discussed.   For example, if a reporter breaks the story that the big banks conspired to rig a market, ask given that people are selfish and that no regulation can close all possible loopholes how are you going to change human nature?, and pretend that its not worth talking about the details of the market manipulation.  This discourages people from reporting on and publicizing the corruption, fraud and other real problems.  And it ensures that not enough people will spread the facts so that the majority know whats really going on.

#4. Suggest extreme, over-the-top, counter-productive solutions which will hurt more than help, or which are wholly disproportionate to what is being discussed.   For example, if the discussion is whether or not to break up the big banks or to go back on the gold standard, say that everyone over 30  should be killed because they are sell-outs and irredeemable, or that all of the banks should be bombed. This discredits the attempt to spread the facts and to organize, and is simply the web method of the provocateur.

#5.  Pretend that alternative media such as blogs written by the top experts in their fields, without any middleman are untrustworthy or are motivated solely by money (for example, use the derogatory term blogspam for any blog posting, pretending that there is no original or insightful reporting, but that the person is simply doing it for ad revenue).

#6.  Coordinate with a couple of others to shout down reasonable comments.  This is especially effective when the posters launch an avalanche of comments in quick succession the original, reasonable comment gets lost or attacked so much that it is largely lost.

#7.  Use an army of sock puppets.  You can either hire low-wage workers in India or other developing countries to astroturf or if you work for the government you can use software which allows you to quickly create and alternate between numerous false identities, each with their own internet address.

#8. Censor social media, so that the hardest-hitting information is buried. If you cant censor it, set up free speech zones to push dissent into dank, dark corners where no one will see it.

#9.  When the powers-that-be cut corners and take criminally reckless gambles with our lives and our livelihoods, protect them by pretending that the inevitable result - nuclear accidents, financial crisesterrorist attacks or other disasters were unforeseeable and that no could have known.

#10.  Protect the rich and powerful by labeling any allegations of criminal activity as being a conspiracy theory.  For example, when Goldman gets caught rigging markets, label the accusations as mere conspiracies.

The following 4 tactics from Sweeney are also still commonly used

#11. Become incredulous and indignant. Avoid discussing key issues and instead focus on side issues which can be used show the topic as being critical of some otherwise sacrosanct group or theme. This is also known as the How dare you! gambit.

#12. Use a straw man. Find or create a seeming element of your opponents argument which you can easily knock down to make yourself look good and the opponent to look bad. Either make up an issue you may safely imply exists based on your interpretation of the opponent/opponent arguments/situation, or select the weakest aspect of the weakest charges. Amplify their significance and destroy them in a way which appears to debunk all the charges, real and fabricated alike, while actually avoiding discussion of the real issues.

#13. Hit and Run. In any public forum, make a brief attack of your opponent or the opponent position and then scamper off before an answer can be fielded, or simply ignore any answer. This works extremely well in Internet and letters-to-the-editor environments where a steady stream of new identities can be called upon without having to explain criticism reasoning simply make an accusation or other attack, never discussing issues, and never answering any subsequent response, for that would dignify the opponents viewpoint.

#14. Question motives. Twist or amplify any fact which could so taken to imply that the opponent operates out of a hidden personal agenda or other bias. This avoids discussing issues and forces the accuser on the defensive.

#15. Associate opponent charges with old news. A derivative of the straw man usually, in any large-scale matter of high visibility, someone will make charges early on which can be or were already easily dealt with. Where it can be foreseen, have your own side raise a straw man issue and have it dealt with early on as part of the initial contingency plans. Subsequent charges, regardless of validity or new ground uncovered, can usually them be associated with the original charge and dismissed as simply being a rehash without need to address current issues so much the better where the opponent is or was involved with the original source.

Postscript:  Over a number of years, weve found that the most effective way to fight disruption and disinformation is to link to a post such as this one which rounds up disruption techniques, and then to cite the disinfo technique you think is being used.

Specifically, weve found the following format to be highly effective in educating people in a non-confrontational manner about what the disrupting person is doing:

Good Number 1!

Or:

Thanks for that textbook example of Number 7!

(Include the link, so people can see what you're referring to.)

The reason this is effective is that other readers will learn about the specific disruption tactic being used in context, like seeing wildlife while holding a wildlife guide, so that one learns what it looks like in the field.   At the same time, you come across as humorous and light-hearted instead of heavy-handed or overly-intense.

Try it It works.

 

 

8-10-12  Eric Sprott: The SolutionIs The Problem, Part II  ZeroHedge.com  When we wrote Part I of this paper in June 2009, the total U.S. public debt was just north of $10 trillion. Since then, that figure has increased by more than 50% to almost $16 trillion, thanks largely to unprecedented levels of government intervention. Once the exclusive domain of central bankers and policy makers, acronyms such as QE, LTRO, SMP, TWIST, TARP, TALF have found their way into the mainstream. With the aim of providing stimulus to the economy, central planners of all stripes have both increased spending and reduced taxes in most rich countries. But do these fiscal and monetary measures really increase economic activity or do they have other perverse effects?...  The politically favoured option of financial repression and negative real interest rates has important implications. Negative real interest rates are basically a thinly disguised tax on savers and a subsidy to profligate borrowers. By definition, taxes distort incentives and, as discussed earlier, discourage savings.... The current misconception that our economic salvation lies with more stimulus is both treacherous and self-defeating. As long as we continue down this path, the solution will continue to be the problem. There is no miracle cure to our current woes and recent proposals by central planners risk worsening the economic outlook for decades to come.  ,  Guest Post: Moral Relativism And Patriotism As Weapons Of The State  The first step toward liberty is to see through the masking fog the state engulfs itself in to carry out its deeds of conquest. Using reason to discover absolute truths is an essential part of determining how one should live their life in accordance with sound ethics.  Relativism denies this.  It can deny that evil is committed by the state and that reprehensible acts are perfectly okay when done by individuals with guns and badges.  All it takes to reverse such destructive thinking is the realization that state authority deserves no pass in moral scrutiny.  Withdrawing consent comes next on the path to a free society.  ,  Former Defense Secretary Says US Will Probably Enforce "No Fly Zone", "Take Aggressive Action" Over Syria  Three months to the election? Check. Which means war-mongering rhetoric, once considered a staple of the GOP, may very soon become action, first in Syria, and soon, everywhere else. From Bloomberg: "The U.S. and allied forces probably will impose a no-fly zone over Syria and take other more aggressive action against the Syrian regime, former Defense Secretary William Cohen said. While the U.S. has been leery of another military intervention after a decade of wars, Were coming to the point, however, where the violence is getting so severe, I think, that youll see a movement towards setting up those no- fly zones, Cohen said on Bloomberg Televisions Political Capital with Al Hunt airing this weekend." Is war and immediate geopolitical escalation guaranteed? Not yet: "The former Pentagon chief and Maine senator, now chairman and chief executive officer of the Cohen Group consulting firm in Washington, said any U.S. military action would depend on participation and support from allies." Although desperate times, and by that we mean unfavorably trending popularity ranking, will certainly require desperate measures. Such as the continued massive build up of US naval assets in the middle east.  ,  Presenting The Ultimate 'Muppet' Indicator  Today's MANU fiasco tipped the scale on the dichotomy between the seeming exuberance that occurs on the stock exchange floors (and the incipient media attached to it) and the reality of what an IPO is and what exchanges do. Since the middle of last year - when the impossible was suddenly made possible by the US debt downgrade and markets realized that Keynesian arithmetic was an academic version of three-card-Monti - Bloomberg's IPO index has dramatically diverged in performance from the ever-exuberant S&P 500. This index of post-IPO performance sends an ominous signal. It must be clear by now that IPOs now occur when when MANAGEMENT want to cash out - simply put they are trying to maximize their gain. The divergence between new-money weakness and stuck-money strength highlights more than ever the Muppet-fleecing purpose of 'our markets'.  ,  Credit Slumps, Equity Pumps, And Volume & Volatility Dumps  ,  Referendum: Is Germany Preparing For The Nuclear Option?  Two months ago, in the aftermath of the "surprising victory" for the Italian PM from the June 29 European summit, which the media mistakenly interpreted as successful for Monti and Rajoy, whose hijacking tactics merely led to even more European animosity and instability in a system that is beyond fragile (i.e., Europe), we proposed an entirely different explanation, namely that "Merkel's Surprising "Defeat" was Merely A Gambit For A German Referendum?" To wit: "it appears that events over the past week may have been merely a gambit for something that Schauble and Weidmann have already hinted at: a popular referendum that decides the fate of Europe once and for all, washing Merkel's hands and letting the people decide if they want the European experiment to continue or not." Turns out we were right.  ,  The Broken Market Chronicles: 200% Of Man United's Float Will Trade In A 10 Cent Interval Today  we suspect the underwriters of the MANU IPO are 'pulling-a-facebook' and onboarding whatever they have to. There has now been 9.5 million shares bid at $14.00 (and none asked) - more than half the float alone! It seems increasingly self-evident that IPOs are simply weath transfer mechanisms - no win-win - and that the value-add from 'stock exchanges' is rapidly converging to zero.  ,  Are You Better Off Than You Were Four Years Ago?  The phrase "Are You Better Off Than You Were Four Years Ago?" and "Its the Economy, Stupid" have become standards of American election discourse in recent decades. And seemingly for good reason. Although it is rare to unseat an incumbent, poor economic performance seems to play a role. We are less than four months away from the US Presidential election. Financial and economic developments have caused surprise political outcomes around the world from time to time.  UBS took a look back at the first terms of the nine presidents that preceded President Obama to determine if the performance of economic variables had any predictive power in determining the odds of re-election for a second term. The news is not good, from GDP growth to real disposable income, and from unemployment to the Misery Index, it seems the bailer-out-in-chief may just have an uphill battle.  ,  Egan Jones Downgrades Goldman Sachs From A- To BBB+  ,  Californicated: From Facebook To Stockton And San Bernardino: How CalPERS Became A Golden State Worrier  The last few weeks have not been fun for California. Facebook's face-plant removed a large part of the unbelievably 'expected' tax revenues for the state, Stockton BK'd, and now we find out that San Bernadino - the latest and greatest city to file for municipal bankruptcy (after a $46 million shortfall in its budget was irreconcilable). The reason it's a big deal - unfortunately the state's retirement fund - CalPERS - is the city's largest creditor by far with a wonderful $143.3 million exposure. This is more than half the entire debt load of $281.4 million of the Top 20 creditors alone! The deadline for creditors to challenge bankruptcy eligibility is September 21st and we suspect that until then, the comptrollers should be renamed the Golden State Worriers? What is ironic is the same unions that we suppose are fighting the city over cuts and forcing it to take such drastic action are likely to be entirely beholden to their pension benefits from the very same CalPERS which is about to take a sizable haircut.

{ Think about this! By wobama’s own criteria in his last total b***s*** campaign, he should be stepping down; having failed on all counts and then some. He also promised to cut the nation’s deficit in half by the end of his term; yet, he has increased the nation’s deficit by a record amount greater than all the presidents since Eisenhower COMBINED ($5 trillion). He has done this to help cover up his unequivocal failure by any standard by which you measure a presidency, including his own. People in america must show the Washingtonians they are not doormats! They must stand up and let these politicos know that results count; particularly promised results. Absent positive results as with unmitigated failure, choom-gang-banger wobama, they get the boot. President Romney deserves the 4 years he’ll have to turn this disaster called america around. If President Romney doesn’t cut the mustard in 4 years as promised, then he will be out. Results Count! I believe that people in the final analysis will choose self-respect; that is, choose NOT to be wobama’s doormat. Despite and contrary to wobama’s spin/propagandameisters’ desperate spin/outright falsity which addresses anything but wobama’s clear record of failure, President Romney is smart enough, flexible enough, and with a record of concrete results behind him as compared to wobama choom fantasy/b***s***, President Romney will be a hands-on President to the entire nation in the most positive sense. As such, I believe people will choose self-respect, reality, real results which will make President Romney’s election a substantial margin blowout victory!

This is typical of how a government operates. They take a very cavalier attitude because they dont care about results, they only care about maintaining control. As a result, they run their operations based on the premise that people really have no choice. With regard to Olympic ticketing, this is mostly true.

We refer of course to so-called 'quantitative easing' (QE), which really is a euphemism for money printing. Apart from his sole focus on short term outcomes, an important point that seems not be considered by the FOMC's Rosengren this week is the question of what should happen if the 'open-ended' QE policy were to fail to achieve its stated goals. He seems to assume that it will succeed in lowering unemployment and creating 'economic growth' as a matter of course. It goes without saying that money printing cannot create a single molecule of real wealth. If it could, then Zimbabwe wouldn't be a basket case, but a Utopia of riches. We must infer from Rosengren's idea of implementing open-ended QE until  certain benchmarks in terms of unemployment and 'growth' are achieved, that in case they remain elusive, extraordinary rates of money printing would simply continue until the underlying monetary system breaks down.

With corporate lobbying returning anywhere between 5,900% and 77,500%, the real money is to be made in the buying and selling of politicians. Yet in our day and age, when information propagates rapidly and when political muppets can be exposed for the Wall Street purchased frauds they are, lobbying is getting increasingly more complicated. Which leaves one other high returning "investment", which unlike lobbying is completely riskless when one is a Wall Street firm: crime. But not just any crime, the type of crime where a firm settles "without admitting or denying guilt" and in the process is slapped with a fine that barely covers the government's legal fees. Case in point: U.S. v. Morgan Stanley, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York Case #11-6875, where MS was punished with the epic disgorgement penalty of $4.8 million. Of course, the fact that Morgan Stanley, who did not admit wrongdoing, generated profits of $21.6 million, is merely a triviality. But a useful one: it allows to calculate that on Wall Street crime does pay, and the IRR is in give or take 350%.  ,  Guest Post: US Government Proposes Law Making It Illegal For Them To Kill You  Last Friday, US Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced HR 6357, a bill which aims to prohibit the extrajudicial killing of United States citizens by the federal government. In other words, in the Land of the Free, they need to pass a law to prevent the government from indiscriminately murdering its own citizens. Now if this doesnt give one reason to pause and consider the distortions of liberty that have taken place in western civilization, I dont know what will. Ask yourself, are you really living in a free society? Are you free? If not, why not? What else could possibly be more important? It takes courage to answer honestly.  ,  Gold And Grand Theft Economics  The tectonic battle between a market trying to deflate its debts and the central banks attempting to reflate the impaired assets to maintain the status quo is becoming increasingly violent. In a brief clip, Santiago Capital's Brent Johnson explains the fallacy of fiat money, the dynamics of the velocity of money in a 'troubled' economy, the 'we are going to give the banks a lot of money' plans, and the inevitable 'there's no more money' moment when the inflationary and deflationary tremors come unstuck and become shock-waves. There will be no warning, no bell-ringing at the onset of the end of the monetary system itself as he notes the slate of Stability & Growth Pacts (EU) and The Recovery and Reinvestment Act (US) will inevitably be seen as the greatest unauthorized transfer of wealth in history - and being exposed to gold stored outside of the banking system, there is a protected route as the world staggers from tremor to tremor.  ,  Guest Post: A Matter Of Trust - Part Two  Putting our trust and faith in a few unelected bureaucrats and bankers, who use their obscene wealth to buy off politicians in writing the laws and regulations to favor them has proven to be a death knell for our country. The captured main stream media proclaims these men to be heroes and saviors of the world, when they are truly the villains in this episode. These are the men who unleashed the frenzy of Wall Street greed and pillaging by repealing Glass Steagall, blocking Brooksley Borns efforts to regulate derivatives, encouraging mortgage fraud, not enforcing existing regulations, and creating speculative bubbles through excessively low interest rates and making it known they would bailout recklessness. They have created an overly complex tangled financial system so they could peddle propaganda to the math challenged American public without fear of being caught in their web of lies. Big government, big banks and big legislation like Dodd/Frank and Obamacare are designed to benefit the few at the expense of the many. The system has been captured by a plutocracy of self-serving men. They dont care about you or your children. We are only given 80 years, or so, on this earth and our purpose should be to sustain our economic and political system in a balanced way, so our children and their children have a chance at a decent life. Do you trust that is the purpose of those in power today? Should we trust the jackals and grifters who got us into this mess, to get us out?   

 

Notable quotable (Short & Sweet)

Posted on by USAGOLD

The cult of equity is dying. Like a once bright green aspen turning to subtle shades of yellow then red in the Colorado fall, investors impressions of stocks for the long run or any run have mellowed as well. I tweeted last month that the souring attitude might be a generational thing: Boomers cant take risk. Gen X and Y believe in Facebook but not its stock. Gen Z has no money.’” And. . . .Unfair though it may be, an investor should continue to expect an attempted inflationary solution in almost all developed economies over the next few years and even decades. Financial repression, QEs of all sorts and sizes, and even negative nominal interest rates now experienced in Switzerland and five other Euroland countries may dominate the timescape. The cult of equity may be dying, but the cult of inflation may only have just begun.

Guest Post: TBTF Banks Laughing All The Way Home Thanks To HARP  ZeroHedge.com  ,  Europe's Beggars: Bluffing Their Way To Unity And Propserity Via Hijacking And Extortion  Ten days ago, when predicting what may and likely will be the outcome of the August ECB announcement, we said that it is virtually certain that it will follow in the trailblazing footsteps of what Mario Monti did at the June 29th meeting. To wit: "The bottom line here is that Draghi most likely pulled a Mario Monti (and his hanger on Mariano Rajoy), and spoke up before pre-clearing with Buba's Weidmann. Draghi thinks that, like Monti with Merkel at the June 29 summit, he can bluff the Bundesbank into submission, and Germany will agree to monetization, especially if markets have risen enough where nothing out of the ECB next week leads to a market plunge. The problem is that as we patiently explained, Monti got absolutely no concessions our of Merkel, as was seen in the bond yields of Spain after the June 29 summit." Sure enough, the market soared in the days after June 29 as well, giddy with optimism that Germany would never settle for being bullied publicly and had implicitly agreed with the Monti and Rajoy. Euphoria promptly turned to despair as it became quickly clear that Monti had bluffed without preclearing with Merkel and Buba.

8-03-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  BULLS JUMP ON EMPLOYMENT DATA 8-3-12 [ { Daves Daily Summary with pics/charts Dave is always worth a look; a bit too bullish methinks, but somewhat realistic in light of the preposterous churn-and-earn frauds/valuations, which folly has gone global and will end quite badly!  http://albertpeia.com/davesummary8312.htm  } Then theres: { AP: Preposterous beyond words! In a nutshell: lunatics here on wall street and abroad are indeed affected by this full moon in a very big way! } ]  The Employment report was better than expected (163K jobs vs 100K expected but prior revised lower to 64K from 80K). Inside the numbers the unemployment rate rose to 8.3% and it was estimated 195K people dropped from rolls meaning the so-called U-6 rate jumped to 15%. But algos chose to focus on the headline number driving stock prices higher for another end-of-week stick save which weve seen before.Perhaps not so much in the headlines was a unique reevaluation of Draghis comments from Thursday as noted by Bloomberg whereby it was suggested he was just laying the framework for a bargain. Further another late article from Bloomberg noted some inferred weakening within the German ranks which might be more supportive of Draghis efforts. And, this article points to a split perhaps from the Bundesbank and politiciansalways a potential problem for the banks autonomy. Meanwhile economic data from the eurozone continued to decline with the PMI descending to 46.5 and the UK PMI (51) the lowest in 2 years.Also of note was the first repo liquidity injection from the Fed to Primary Dealers (banks) since December 2008. This was a small amount ($200M) but showed the Fed working in a more subtle fashion to lubricate trading desks.Stocks were higher across the board and intra-market correlations were running almost at 100% allowing for little in the way of diversification. Everything rallied today except natural gas (UNG), bonds (IEF) and the dollar (UUP) and thats the easiest way to sum things up.Now you might think from our comments were bearish but were 60% long equities in our active portfolio with the balance in cash. Sure, on days like this wed like greater exposure but you wouldnt have said that the prior 4 days. The bottom line is you can be a skeptic while remaining systematic. Staying with longer term tech analytics (weekly & even monthly) avoids a lot of the daily noise despite emotions. So when markets rally when news overall and fund flows are this terrible that must be bullish or just another bout of short-covering.Were seeing markets (see SPY chart below) that very much resemble similar periods to 2010 & 2011. Those markets featured significant two-way action which made for poor trend-following conditions for short-term investors. This is now enhanced by the presence of HFTs and algos and a good explanation of how these work which also makes it more appropriate to step away from shorter-term chart views.Despite Fridays good market action we still face trouble in the eurozone and with global economic contraction not solved by one data point or rumors and spin.

8-02-12  Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  ‘DRAGHI DROPS THE BATON  8-2-12 European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi could not back up his bold statements from last week with specific action. He could only say the ECB “may” through its mandate buy eurozone bonds. Basically this means he backed the Germans into a corner and they didn’t blink. His credibility has taken a major hit and Spanish bond yields once again headed for 7%. For markets it’s been two days and back to back central bank disappointments with the ECB taking a large toll on bulls. And to top things off, Friday is the Employment Report which is sure to cause volatility in either direction.In more pedestrian news, Jobless Claims rose (365K vs 370K expected & prior revised higher to 357K); Factory Orders fell (-.5% vs .7% expected & prior .7%); and, Bloomberg’s Consumer Comfort Index fell again (-39.7 vs prior -38.5).Last night China signaled it would elevate to stabilize (weird choice of words) economic growth which is noted in this press release from Xinhua News Agency. Stocks there fell.Stock markets took the news from the ECB hard. A late day rally (see SPY 2:15 PM Buy Program Express) lifted stocks off their lows led mostly by technology (XLK) and more Apple (AAPL) split chatter. Do you really think equity markets overall can be durably supported by one stock and infinite central bank QE?Bonds (IEF) were somewhat stronger in price; the dollar (UUP) was higher; gold (GLD) lower; and, commodities (DBC) weaker.Volume was the highest of the week thus far and breadth per the WSJ was negative…’  ,  Spain And Italy Are Toast …Euros  http://albertpeia.com/spainitalytoastnomatterwhat.htm   ,  The Fed's Gold Is Being Audited... By The US Treasury  ZeroHedge.com  Tyler Durden  When we started reading the LA Times article reporting that "the federal government has quietly been completing an audit of U.S. gold stored at the New York Fed" we couldn't help but wonder when the gotcha moment would appear. It was about 15 paragraphs in that we stumbled upon what we were waiting for: "The process involved about half a dozen employees of the Mint, the Treasury inspector general's office and the New York Fed. It was monitored by employees of the Government Accountability Office, Congress' investigative arm." In other words the Fed's gold is being audited... by the Treasury. Now our history may be a little rusty, but as far as we can remember, the last time the Fed was actually independent of the Treasury then-president Harry Truman fired not one but two Fed Chairmen including both Thomas McCabe as well as the man after whom the Fed's current residence is named: Marriner Eccles, culminating with the Fed-Treasury "Accord" of March 3, 1951 which effectively fused the two entities into one - a quasi independent branch of the US government, which would do the bidding of its "political", who in turn has always been merely a proxy for wherever the money came from (historically, and primarily, from Wall Street), which can pretend it is a "private bank" yet which is entirely subjugated to the crony interests funding US politicians (more on that below). But in a nutshell, the irony of the Treasury auditing the fed is like asking Libor Trade A to confirm that Libor Trader B was not only "fixing" the Libor rate correctly and accurately, but that there is no champagne involved for anyone who could misrepresent it the best within the cabal of manipulation in which the Nash Equilibrium was for everyone to commit fraud.  ,  Of Beggars, Choosers, Unemployment, And Bailouts In Europe   The problems of a group of 17 different economies that are growing further apart - all functioning under the same currency - will not be solved by any actions taken by the ECB" is how Stratfor's Adriano Bosoni describes the can-kicking that has once again become the euro-zone this summer. From the systemically rising and drastically desperate unemployment rates around the Southern nations…  ,  Why Mega Banks Are The Modern Cocaine Cowboys  In today's episode of blast from the past, Bloomberg's Jonathan Weil takes us on a time journey, which presents the Too Big To Fail bank problem from a different perspective: that of the Cocaine Cowboy roaming the streets of Miami in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Just like today's big banks they were untouchable; just like today's banks they were collaborating and existing in perfect symbiosis with the Federal Reserve; just like today the Cocaine Cowboys existed in an untouchable vacuum courtesy of endless bribes to the local law enforcement and judicial officials, and just like today, the TBTF institution du jour isn't "merely an economic problem. It is a great moral failing of our society that poisons our democracy." Back then, Ronald Reagan stepped in just when Miami (whose real estate market had soared in 1979-1981 courtesy of rampant crime and money laundering: hint hint NAR anti money-laundering exemptions) was about to be overrun, forming a task force that in the nick of time restored law and order. Today we are not that lucky, as there is not a single politican willing to risk it all just to eradicate the modern version of a classic scourge: only this time they don't hand out 8 balls; they give away 0% introductory APR cards and 3 Year NINJA Adjustable Rate Mortgages. Both however get you hooked for life: either on drugs or on debt. Will someone step up this time and form a task force to eliminate the second coming of the Cocaine Cowboy? Sadly, we don't think so.

8-01-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  BERNANKE PASSES THE BATON TO DRAGHI  8-1-12  There was the usual amount of elevated tension before the Fed announcement but they changed and offered very little to investors. Instead, they kicked things over to the ECB which will dominate headlines Thursday. The ECBs challenge is to match talk with action. Getting the Germans to go along with Draghis bold statements will be the challenge. Once again strong talk must be matched by actions.Now the tape tension shifts to the ECB and we should know more about that on Thursday midday.ADP data showed new private jobs rising (163K vs 120K expected & prior 176K); PMI Manufacturing fell (51.4 vs 52.5 prior); important ISM Manufacturing showed economic contraction for the second month in a row (49.8 vs 50.2 expected & prior 49.7); and, Construction Spending increased less (.4% vs .5% expected & prior .9%).Chinas official PMI fell to the lowest level since November 2011 and for the third consecutive month (50.1 vs 50.2 prior). Most view this as a temporary decline or even attribute it to seasonal factors. But if you read anything by hedge fund guru Jim Chanos you might see things in a much different way.Even more interesting Wednesday was the HFT algo mishaps that befell trading particularly at Knight Capital which struggled with an avalanche of misplaced orders and high volume. ETFs like the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) and Direxion Shares leveraged Gold Miners ETF (NUGT) saw incredible volume spikes. The NYSE has a love affair with HFTs providing volume not to mention trade rebates nevertheless insists it will look into the matter. Knight Capital has announced its trade cancelation band at 30%. The NYSE has ruled only 6 stocks will feature canceled trades.The flash crash was 20%. This is the danger of leaving Good til Canceled (GTC) trailing stops and thinking youre protected. Nevertheless this type of activity is what drives more investors away from markets.    http://albertpeia.com/davescharts8112.jpg       http://albertpeia.com/davescharts8113.jpg     Stocks reacted to all of this with some initial selling, some buying and later with a selling shrug as the burden is now with the ECB. The dollar (UUP) was higher after the Fed announcement; gold (GLD) remained weaker; oil (USO) was higher on inventory data; commodities (DBC) were slightly higher helped by energy; bonds (IEF) were slightly weaker. Volume was rather light with most of it coming after the Feds announcement. Breadth per the WSJ was negative overall. (With the baton handed to the ECB this puts us with another shorter commentary. I may not write a full report until Friday after the employment report.)…’  ,  Angela Merkel Will NOT Lose Germanys AAA Status Before Her Re-election   Lets Stop Kidding Ourselves and Look at the REAL Math Behind Spain   http://albertpeia.com/merkelholdsspainfolds.htm   ,   Mainstream Reporter Tells The Truth About Audit The Fed And The Creation Of The Federal Reserve   http://albertpeia.com/truthaboutauditfedandfedcreation.htm   ,  This Is What Happens When An HFT Algo Goes Totally Berserk And Serves Knight Capital With The Bill  ZeroHedge.com  Tyler Durden  We all know something went horribly wrong in various NYSE-traded stocks today between 9:30 am and 10:15 am. So wrong in fact that the NYSE had to step in and cancel numerous trades in 6 symbols. However it did not DK millions of other trades in 134 other symbols, the vast majority of which we assume traded errantly due to the market making of Knight Capital (as admitted by the company), which today saw its biggest drop ever since going public on volume about 60 times greater than its average. We also all know that one should buy low and sell high. At least that is what human traders are taught, and that is what they attempt. Because if one consistently does the opposite, one will simply run out of money. Well, the opposite is precisely what the berserk algo in Knight's Market Making group may have done if Nanex, which has done a forensic analysis of one of the trades in question, is correct. In other words, instead of at least attempting to provide liquidity via limit trades, Knight's algorithm acted as a market order... gone horribly wrong. As the third chart below shows what the algo did with furious repetition and steadfast consistency was to buy at the offer, and sell at the bid, in other words buy high and sell low. Over and over and over and over. As Nanex laconically notes, "In the case of EXC, that means losing about 15 cents on every pair of trades. Do that 40 times a second, 2400 times a minute, and you now have a system that's very efficient at burning money." Which also means that by not DK'ing several hundred million prints, the NYSE may have just thrown Knight under the bus, because the market maker is suddenly on the hook for tens if not hundreds of millions in inverse market making profits.  ,  David Rosenberg On Headless Chickens, Topless Americans, And Bottomless Europeans  Europe's bottomless pit of debt deleveraging (which is as much a problem for the US and China but less ion focus for now) makes the entire discourse of some new and aggressive intervention by the ECB even more ridiculous (and all so deja vu); and the US is facing up to an entirely topless earnings season as revenues are coming in at only 1.2% above last year as it appears Q2 EPS is on track for a 0.2% YoY dip - with guidance falling fast. But apart from all that, Rosie sees the only source of real buying support for the stock market is the stranded short-seller forced to cover in the face of CB-jawboning as there is little sign of long-term believers stepping into the void.  ,  California Dreaming Turns Into Nightmare As Sinking FaceBerg Stock Means Less State Revenue  ,  The Chinese Juggernaut Losing Steam?   ,  Hyper Mario And Germany On Verge Of All Out Warfare  Back in March we wrote "Mario Draghi Is Becoming Germany's Most Hated Man" for one reason: a few months after the former Goldman appartchik was sworn in to replace Trichet with promises he would not "print" Draghi did just that in a covert way via $1.3 trillion in LTROs, that immediately hit the economy and sent inflation across Europe soaring. It now appears that the simmering hatred between the two is about to upshift to a whole new level, with the threat of open escalation finally arriving. Because if Sueddeutsche Zeitung is correct, via Reuters, in precisely 12 hours, Draghi will proceed with a plan that has neither Germany's nor Buba's blessing, in the process effectively isolating the only remaining solvent country in Europe, and its de facto paymaster, and forcing Germany to take a long, hard look at the exit sign (which, however, as reported earlier, with each passing day that drags Germany's economy is becoming less of an unthinkable outcome). To wit: "Draghi is planning concerted action using both the ECB and the future euro European Stability Mechanism (ESM) to purchase sovereign debt from Spain or Italy in order to help push down borrowing rates for those two countries." There is one problem: "highly doubtful that the German government would agree to Draghi's approach. The Bundesbank also is likely to reject the idea, the paper added."  ,  Guest Post: When Quantitative Easing Finally Fails   While markets await details on the next round of quantitative easing (QE) -- whether refreshed bond buying from the Fed or sovereign debt buying from the European Central Bank (ECB) -- it's important to ask, What can we expect from further heroic attempts to reflate the OECD economies? The 2009 and 2010 QE programs from the Fed, and the 2011 operations from the ECB, were intended as shock treatment to hopefully set economies on a more typical, post-recession, recovery pathway. Here in 2012, QE was supposed to be well behind us. Instead, parts of Southern Europe are in outright depression, the United Kingdom is in double-dip recession, and the US is sweltering through its weakest recovery since the Great Depression. QE is a poor transmission mechanism for creating jobs. It wasnt supposed to be this way.  Macquarie Sees $176 Billion In Lieborgate Losses, $88 Billion Hit To Libor Panel Banks  the simply stunning number of $176 billion.

{ Im really constrained to interject my own direct experience with the FBI here; and, I must say I do so lamentably. If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the tough questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal drug ops (opsriiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You cant make this stuff up. I also dont believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. Im beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the federal (judicial) system who share the same employer; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared more fairly with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:

 

Debauchery: An American specialty In the land of Lindsay Lohan and Snooki, some federal workers reflect our culture all too well. (Washington Post) [ Lindsay Lohan? Come on Mr. Milbank, hands off the low hanging fruit. Shes totally harmless. Jersey italian snooki? In mob infested new jersey, who knows (one of the properties in my proceedings for which surplus funds are unaccounted for was a 2 bedroom 1 and 1/2 bath condominium in seaside heights, n.j.). But debauchery an american specialty? Another rare instance wherein I agree with Mr. Milbank completely. 25 Signs That America Is A Seething Cesspool Of Filth And Corruption http://albertpeia.com/25signsamericacesspooloffilthcrimeandcorruption.htm . Review of flawed forensics held close to vest EXCLUSIVE | Documents and interviews show FBI and Justice Department officials took steps to control information uncovered by a task force designed to examine cases involving discredited agents. Many defendants were never notified of flaws in cases. Simply unconscionable (Washington Post) [ Well, I really have to say this. Im awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ) . Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed the level and extent of corruption and criminality within the ranks of the u.s. government before embarking upon this costly quest for justice and simple fairness consistent with clear law (infra, regarding the u.s. governments direct involvement in the illegal drug trade). In this civil RICO matter, there are no innocent bystanders; but rather, perpetrators, accomplices, and co-conspirators. When the fbi agent initially assigned to this matter (Connecticut) abruptly resigned/retired shortly after a conversation, though not central to my case, wherein I had said that rudy giulianis father had been an (convicted) enforcer for the mob (served 12 years? in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter?) and then sent him documentation owing to his disbelief. Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard. I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agents departure who somewhat plaintively (my call being a burden) told me that he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari, which he didnt explain further. Could anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jerseys FBI office, I was greeted by an FBI Agent who sarcastically asked me whether I was going to the disco that night (the documents including sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alitos office in the same building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   . We all can infer sam alitos reward / quid pro quo for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme court.  There was never a question as to maryanne trump barrys interest in corrupting the judicial process as related to her brothers (trump) casinos. Jersey city boy louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klaiman as the most corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly holders impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvds sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference. Im currently being stonewalled by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI Agent Bill Lewis.

Review of flawed forensics held close to vest EXCLUSIVE | Documents and interviews show FBI and Justice Department officials took steps to control information uncovered by a task force designed to examine cases involving discredited agents. Many defendants were never notified of flaws in cases. Simply unconscionable (Washington Post) [ Well, I really have to say this. Im awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ) . Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed the level and extent of corruption and criminality within the ranks of the u.s. government before embarking upon this costly quest for justice and simple fairness consistent with clear law (infra, regarding ie., the u.s. governments direct involvement in the illegal drug trade, etc.). In this civil RICO matter, there are no innocent bystanders; but rather, perpetrators, accomplices, and co-conspirators. When the fbi agent initially assigned to this matter (Connecticut) abruptly resigned/retired shortly after a conversation, though not central to my case, wherein I had said that rudy giulianis father had been an (convicted) enforcer for the mob (served 12 years? in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter?) and then sent him documentation owing to his disbelief. Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard. I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agents departure who somewhat plaintively (my call being a burden) told me that he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari, which he didnt explain further. Could anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jerseys FBI office, I was greeted by an FBI Agent who sarcastically asked me whether I was going to the disco that night (the documents including sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alitos office in the same building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   . We all can infer sam alitos reward / quid pro quo for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme court.  There was never a question as to maryanne trump barrys interest in corrupting the judicial process as related to her brothers (trump) casinos. Jersey city by louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klaiman as the most corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly holders impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvds sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference. Im currently being stonewalled by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI Agent Bill Lewis.

 

SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE DEBT LIMIT
Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

ATF Chief Melson:Justice Department trying to shield officials (LATimes) Serrano

 

I believe him!

 I truly empathize with the ATF in terms of government cover-ups, notably by even the DOJ. Youll recognize some familiar names (ie., Alito, Trump, Freeh (Louis Freeh now has dual citizenship with Italy), and some familiar crimes (ie., drug money laundering, etc. real cash cow for govt ops, bribes, etc.). [Did you know this about the following ATF Agents who were probably viewed as loose ends: Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeahan & Conway LeBleu:   Died February 28, 1993 by gunfire at Waco. All four were examined by a pathologist and died from identical wounds to the left temple. All four had been body guards for Bill Clinton, three while campaigning for President and when he was Governor of Arkansas.They also were the ONLY 4 BATF agents killed at Waco. ]

Heres some real, complicit cover-up / fraud on the part of the federal government, et als:

 Dear Sir:

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computers browser) as per your offices request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which Ive installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named 112208opocoan). The (civil) RICO action (as youre aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBIs LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation Andrew Maloneys the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..

Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.

The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages:   [  Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File        Page 1                Page 2          ]

Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [   transcript in pertinent part -     http://albertpeia.com/crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf    ]

Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.],   Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. 43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

 

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

America also leads in the illegal drug trade.  In fact, many researchers reveal that the war on drugs is only utilized to control and monopolize the illicit drug trade.  The US government has been caught multiple times shipping in cocaine [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvbdiWgwsA , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQNSoOX-dcw&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG1Id2qpSOE&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEUhpxeuP4&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyM43Sw2OVc&feature=related ] , colluding with certain cartels [ http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/08/does_mexican_drug_cartel_have_deal_with_us_government.html ] to control the industry, and now openly protects and transports opium from Afghanistan [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElEciFI0Pew ] .  In fact, Global Research points out that in 2001, “according to UN figures, opium production had fallen to 185 tons. Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [ http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world ] ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

If the case of white supremacist Hal Turner taught us anything, it is that the government manufactures Nazis and racists from whole cloth and then uses them to push hysterical domestic terrorist propaganda and self-aggrandizement.

It came out during Turners trial that he was a National Security Intelligence asset working for the FBIs Joint Terrorism Task Force. His code name was Valhalla and he received thousands of dollars from the FBI to report on such groups as the Aryan Nations and the white supremacist National Alliance, and even a member of the Blue Eyed Devils skinhead punk band, according to The Record.

The FBI has run racist and white supremacist groups since the 1960s. Under COINTELPRO, the FBI subsidized, armed, directed and protected the Ku Klux Klan and other right-wing groups, Brian Glick writes. Racist groups were used to create a strategy of tension by attacking groups on the so-called left, including anti-war, Chicano and Puerto Rican activists and nationalists.

More recently, in 2007, the FBI organized a neo-Nazi march in Orlando, Florida. The FBIs informant (agent provocateur) was one of the most visible individuals in the National Socialist Movement, according to Andy Rosenkranz, state regional director for the Anti-Defamation League. Generally, the FBI and the JTTF (Joint Terrorism Task Force) in Florida does an excellent job.

The FBI has also infiltrated a number of supposed Muslim terrorists groups and has wheedled, cajoled and otherwise manipulated patsies into agreeing to commit terror attacks.

In October, Mother Jones revealed that the FBI is notorious for creating supposed terrorist groups from scratch and then framing patsies in order to claim the government is protecting the United States from terrorists. The number of government informants and agents provocateurs has grown exponentially since the 1970s when the FBI claimed it shut down COINTELPRO.

On Tuesday, the New York Daily News reported the FBIs latest terrorist creation the 1st SS Kavallerie Brigade Motorcycle Division, founded in 2007 to recruit neo-Nazi bikers for the Aryan Nations, a white supremacist terrorist organization, according to Anthony Bartkewicz.

One member offered a $1,000 reward for the shooting of a black man. Others stockpiled explosives to be used in terror attacks on U.S. targets, writes Bartkewicz. But the biker gang was founded by undercover law enforcement agents in Florida, and eventually 20 people were arrested for a range of offenses, from dealing drugs to possessing illegal weapons and plotting murders, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

In May, the FBI took down a group of mentally challenged white supremacists belonging to the American Front, a group on the edge of extinction in the early 2000s but resuscitated on the internet. The FBI claimed the group was planning to kill Jews and minorities in the inevitable race war, according to an affidavit obtained by the Orlando Sentinel. The Sentinel reports that the group also looked to manufacture ricin, a weapon of mass destruction,’” CBS Tampa reported.
Fear and loathing by liberals over FBI manufactured racist threat.

Considering the FBIs track record, however, it is likely the ricin plot was concocted by the agency and then fed to the American Front patsies prior to the sensationalized bust. Patsies rarely devise their own plots and are carefully managed by the agency and its army of informants and agents provocateurs.

The Nazi biker group created by the FBI after the Aryan Nations said it wanted to form a Nazi motorcycle club to serve as the militant arm for white supremacists across the country, according to records obtained by the Orlando Sentinel.

Using a false identity, the agent with the Orange County Sheriffs Office became the Aryan Nations top Florida administrator responsible for recruiting members for what would become the 1st SS Kavallerie Brigade Motorcycle Division operating out of a clubhouse in St. Cloud, Henry Pierson Curtis writes for the Sentinel.

Early members included at least two additional undercover FBI agents who infiltrated the club and a biker accused of offering $1,000 to anyone willing to shoot a black man riding an ATV in rural Osceola County, records show.

In 2007, a FBI informant, Rick Spring, admitted to running the Aryan Nations. In a confessional emailed out to white nationalist leaders, federal informant and convicted bank robber Rick Spring admitted today that he operated the Aryan Nations as a false flag front group for the FBI after the death of Richard Butler, wrote Bill White, editor of the Libertarian Socialist News.

Government connections to terror groups are legion. In 2004, for instance, the FBI revealed the Southern Poverty Law Center was involved with government operative and convicted Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh and the Aryan Republican Army at Elohim City. McVeighs contact at Elohim City was Andreas Carl Strassmeir, a former German intelligence officer. Peter Langan, the son of a retired U.S. Marine intelligence officer and said to be the leader of the Aryan Republican Army, was a government informant.

The SS Kavallerie Brigade Motorcycle Division, responsible for setting up the American Front, is yet another convoluted government fabrication designed to convince ill-informed Americans that radical Muslims are not the only threat they face. So are white guys with tattoos on their foreheads.

The absurdly overblown threat of skinheads gunning for minorities plays right into the Department of Homeland Securitys rightwing extremist narrative.

Threats from white supremacist and violent antigovernment groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts, the DHS wrote in a 2009 for eyes-only memo subsequently leaked to Infowars.com and others, but have capitalized on the election of the first African American president, and are focusing their efforts to recruit new members, mobilize existing supporters, and broaden their scope and appeal through propaganda, but they have not yet turned to attack planning.

The FBI’s contrived plots – including purported violence against police and officialdom by the Hutaree militia and now a supposed weapons of mass destruction attack by the American Front – are designed primarily for propaganda purposes. The Hutaree militia was vindicated in court and the accusations against the American Front will likely also eventually be reduced and revealed as government grandstanding, although this will not be reported on the front page in blazing headlines.’

What happened next was a trade that was just shy of the size of the Waddell and Reed trade that the SEC said caused the flash crash.

"Essentially, the carmakers are deceiving their shareholders, since they make it look as if the vehicles were actually sold. They want to pull the wool over their eyes," as three in every ten new vehicles in Germany are sold not to customers, but to carmakers and their dealers - a type of automotive industry pump priming known as "self-registration".

7-30-12  11 Signs That Time Is Quickly Running Out For The Global Financial System  http://albertpeia.com/11signstimesrunoutforfinancialsystem.htm Historically, a financial crisis has been more likely to happen in the fall than during any other time, and this fall is shaping up to be a doozy.  Much of the focus of the financial world is on whether or not the euro is going to break up, but even if the authorities in Europe are able to keep the euro together we are still facing massive problems.  Countries such as Greece and Spain are already experiencing depression-like conditions, and much of the rest of the globe is sliding into recession.  Unemployment has already risen to record levels in some parts of Europe, major banks all over Europe are teetering on the brink of insolvency, and the flow of credit is freezing up all over the planet.  ,  Sorry Mario Draghi, Spain is Finished!    Why the Financial System Could Indeed Collapse     http://albertpeia.com/spainfinishedandfinancialsystemcollapse.htm  ,  Treasury Admits It Underestimated Debt Needs, Predicts Ceiling Breach In 2012; $600 Billion More Debt In Second Half  Zerohedge.com  Tyler Durden  ,  Guest Post: The Worlds Gold Is Moving From West To East  ,  Charting The Diminishing Multiple Expansion Benefits Of Fed Action  ,  EU Ombudsman To Probe Mario Draghi's Conflicts Of Interest  First some German dares to suggest Mario Draghi's ECB should be sued for getting a "bigger than god complex", and now the EU's ombudsman has the temerity to suggest Mario Draghi may have conflicts of interest due to his previous jobs, most notably at Goldman Sachs, a topic beaten to death on these pages... and various other factors.  From Spiegel: "As soon as you took office, there were discussions about his past in the U.S. investment bank Goldman Sachs - now has Mario Draghi, head of the European Central Bank, and problems with the EU ombudsman. It's about the membership of an influential banking lobby organization." What are the "other factors": well, one is Draghi's presence in the Group of 30 which as we have explained previously, is the real behind the scenes central planning group which decides the fate and future of the world (an extended write up here). The other factor?

This is its lowest level since September of last year and the biggest miss of expectations since May of last year. The headline index is teetering on the edge of its worst levels since 2009 as the month to month change in the general business activity index dropped a massive 19pts - its largest drop since April 2005.

7-27-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   BULLISH QE ALGOS 7-27-12  Its difficult to comprehend the tape sometimes, especially when you try to square it with the overall news. The bottom line is bulls have placed their bets that the eurozone will be fixed and weaker U.S. GDP both will be met by a heavy dose of QE. Everything else doesnt matter. Bulls dont believe the Germans, despite Bundesbanks comments to the contrary; will block bond buying by Draghi and the ECB. The key phrase in the linked WSJ article was, If there is no ECB bond buying next week stocks will collapse. { AP: What I really cant fathom is how, why people are so eager to support the churn-and-earn paper fraud on wall street (their computers are literally selling to themselves along with the other programmed algo insanity helping/facilitating these costly wall street frauds which have not helped but in many ways hurt the real economy their gain is everyone elses pain as that money in their pockets must come from some real place; viz., your pockets theres no free lunch). Their buying time with b***s*** also facilitates the transfer of their worthless paper hot potatoes to ie., taxpayers, governments, etc.. Totally pathetic! Were way past the fool me twice, shame on me stage!  They really have to be prosecuted and put in jail where they belong. Theyre just not that important and they are a substantial detriment to the real economy and society generally. They have no fear of prosecution and have continued their paper frauds where they left off last crisis, and seek once again to cash out for hard currency, metals with the greater fools holding their worthless paper bag. I used to follow the markets when value/valuation meant something. Now I track them only to discern the ever greater frauds and the political connectivity to same. } This is followed Wednesday by the Fed which may give QE3 hints or news to confirm this late week rally. If the trend is real, the news must confirm it. So, its stand and deliver time for central banks. Neal Barofsky, the former inspector general for TARP, continues to shout from the roof-tops what a failure it was. Of course for a day like Friday his comments were ignored. The operator of the largest global hedge fund, Ray Dalio (Bridgewater) issued a serious warning to all who might listen. Bank of America analysts also have a bearish view of QE, high equity market outflows and that QE3 would not be a success. Earnings overall, especially on the revenue side, have been weak. There is no argument about this generally. Guidance by many companies has been reduced for the third quarter. GDP data in the U.S. was 1.5% down from a revised 2%. To call this a recovery is to reinvent the term. Consumer Sentiment at 72.3 is as weak as weve seen this year. The stunning gamble bulls made Friday was with Amazon (AMZN) where earnings and revenue missed. The company guided the third quarter to a loss but the stock soared on the belief that the companys heavy investment in distribution will pay off for Christmas. Thats a helluva bet with the stock trading at 270 X trailing earnings. The dollar (UUP) continued to fall; gold (GLD) was modestly higher (risk on); bonds (IEF) were higher in yield (risk on); and, commodities (DBC) overall were higher. Stocks rallied sharply once again putting an exclamation point to QE algo rally especially after Bloomberg reported that Draghi would meet with the Bundesbanks President Jens Weidmann to iron out their differences. Bulls must think Draghi has the upper hand. Treasury Secretary Geithner will join-in on Monday. (All the kings horses and all the kings men will try to put this together again.) Other than this, words fail me.

Specifically, the statement referenced is the following: "Many ECB Members Surprised By Draghi's Comments Suggesting New Bond Buys, Source Tells WSJ". The bottom line here is that Draghi most likely pulled a Mario Monti (and his hanger on Mariano Rajoy), and spoke up before pre-clearing with Buba's Weidmann. Draghi thinks that, like Monti with Merkel at the June 29 summit, he can bluff the Bundesbank into submission, and Germany will agree to monetization, especially if markets have risen enough where nothing out of the ECB next week leads to a market plunge (as the WSJ explains below). The problem is that as we patiently explained, Monti got absolutely no concessions our of Merkel, as was seen in the bond yields of Spain after the June 29 summit, which hit record wides a few weeks later.

“Words, words, words, I'm so sick of words
I get words all day through
First from him, now from you
Is that all you blighters can do

Sing me no song, read me no rhyme
Don't waste my time, show me
Don't talk of June, don't talk of fall
Don't talk at all, show me
Never do I ever want to hear another word
There isn't one I haven't heard”
  - Alan Lerner: My Fair Lady  { Yes, indeed! Dave knows his shows! This one’s all b***s***! }

The ECBs head Mario Draghi stated Thursday that the bank would use all tools at its disposal to maintain the euro but…”within our mandate. The mandate is an unsettled political issue for the ESM (European Stability Mechanism) which is also stuck in the German courts where its constitutionality is in question. Moreover the Germans have fiercely maintained they wouldnt be in favor of more bond buying. The bottom line is this is more jawboning that algos seized on to rally stocks Thursday. After all Draghi knows how to pump markets having been vice chairman and managing director atwait for it, Goldman Sachs International.In real news, Jobless Claims fell (353K vs 380K expected & prior revised to 386K). With cumulative non-stop revisions claims are actually now 149K higher 2012 year to date. Pending Home Sales fell (-1.4% vs .9% expected & prior 5.9%) and the NAR tried to explain this as a reduction in inventory--seriously. The Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index fell (-38.5 vs -37.9) and Durable Goods Orders rose (1.6% vs .6% expected & prior 1.6%) however ex-transportation (mostly aircraft) orders fell (-1.1% vs .2% expected & prior .8%).Earnings are still coming out but already were seeing reports of lowered third quarter results for the S&P 500 which is now expected to fall .1% from a year ago. Its sounds like a modest amount but it does affect PE expansion negatively.China stated it wouldnt be interested in easing real estate buying restrictions which took mainland Chinese indexes to lows not seen since 2009. These are the things not many are paying attention as theyre distracted by another round of the eurozone is fixed again.Leading markets higher, particularly on the DJIA once again, were the priciest shares in the price-weighted index (IBM) (MMM) (CVX). Financial (XLF) sector rallied on hopes that Draghi will do some bond buying where they can unload their toxic waste.Underperforming within the major sectors were small caps (IWM) higher but still not catching much of a bid. Lagging were materials (XLB) as Dow Chemical (DOW) had a poor report. Lower were most social media sectors (SOCL) which include Zynga (ZNGA) and even Facebook (FB). And, despite crummy housing data the past few days, homebuilders (ITB) rallied.The dollar (UUP) was sharply lower on the Draghi move and gold (GLD) was higher. Oil (USO) was somewhat higher helped by the weaker dollar. Most commodity markets (DBC) reacted modestly Thursday while bonds (IEF) were relatively unchanged.As this is written many companys reporting earnings (SBUX) (AMZN) (FB) etc. are missing estimates and their share prices are much lower.Volume was average on the melt-up while breadth per the WSJ was positive for the second day running relieving oversold conditions…’  ,  Facebook revenue growth skids, shares plunge  ,  Draghi Just Pulled Out His Bazooka How Long Before the Crash?  http://albertpeia.com/draghinbsandcrash.htm   ,  The Audit The Fed Bill Gets Passed By The House But Obama And The Democrats Are Going To Kill It  http://albertpeia.com/obamademskillauditfed.htm   ,  Biderman Batters 'Believe-Me'-Draghi  ZeroHedge.com  Tyler Durden  Somewhat stunned by the market's exuberant reaction to Mario Draghi's 'Believe Me' speech this morning, Charles Biderman, CEO of TrimTabs, sees the slow-motion train-wreck that is the European crisis speeding up and rapidly running out of track. Charles sees the European crisis as "not a solvable problem the way the world works today." Neither Draghi nor any of the bankers even bothers to talk about the real problem of not enough regional income and too much government spending. Draghi's only solution is some form of money printing. "Printing money to pay bills maybe will work over the short term. But long term, it cannot"; if money printing works in the real world why not print and give every one a billion Dollars, Euros or Yen? While governments will do anything to maintain the status quo (and avoid the tough times ahead), Charles succinctly reminds that, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions."  ,  Guest Post: The Energy Showdown In Argentina  ,  The Cherry On Top: CME Lowers Equity Index Margins By Over 20%  ,  Guest Post: Central Banks Are Chomping At The Bit  how does the self-defeating idea of perpetual QE fit with the Credit Cycle relative to Government Directed Inflation (or inability to direct inflation where they want it in the case of the ECB and BoE)?  ,  Which Of These Facebook Analysts Is Not Like The Others?  Yesterday we showed how out of a universe 21 'analysts', just one ended up being correct on ZNGA. The trick part of the question was that the 'analyst' in question was actually a computer quant model. Today, we look at FB whose price has just tumbled to a new all time post-IPO low with a $23 handle. And just like with ZNGA today, where BTIG's Richard Greenfield ended up apologizing for his horrible call, something tells us tomorrow we will get quite a few more apologies too, not least from Greenfield again whose Neutral call will hardly be "good enough" for a stock that has now lost over a third of its value since its market cap.  ,  In Case Of Collapsing Earnings, Expand Multiples And Pray  Both earnings and revenues for 2012 have been cut dramatically in the last three months, rejuvenating a sliding consensus trend for 2012 that began in the middle of last year, and now Q3 expectations are negative YoY for the first time since Q3 2009. However, as we are told again and again, the economy must be doing fine because the market is up so much in that period. In fact, what is even more fun to hear is that the market is cheap (never mind the incredulous hockey-stick expectations for Q4 this year). In fact, the market is not cheap at all. The correlation between the S&P 500 in the last two years and the P/E multiple shows that performance has been driven almost entirely by multiple-expansion alone. Forward P/E is now getting close to recent peaks suggesting the market is far from cheap and on a longer-term view (based on both an as-reported and operating basis), the S&P 500 appears expensive - and perhaps these charts will re-anchor whatever cognitive bias that seems to pervade the long-only manager's herding mentality.  ,  Visual Summary Of AMZN: 263x PE Multiple, 1.2% Operating Margin, $7 Million Net Income And 69,100 Employees  ,  Earnings Reality Bites  UPDATE: FB -17%, AMZN -0.5%, SBUX -5.3%  ,  Equities Close Monday's Gap Down On Lowest Average Trade Size Of Year  ,  Is Harry Reid The Most Hypocritical Man In The World?  While Dos Equis has its most-interesting-man, we think we have found the 'most hypocritical'. Until today we thought Sandy Weill was the undisputed champion in this category, but after seeing this clip we think he has strong competition. At around 40 seconds into this lengthy diatribe, everyone's favorite Libertarian Las Vegan utters the most two-faced hypocritical words that he could possible have uttered: "I think we should audit the Federal Reserve". Between Harry Reid's recent vehement anti-Paul behavior and the whip-order that Democrats received on Ron Paul's bill yesterday, this is stunning. While the sell-out nature of this kind of politician does not surprise us, we thought it prudent for all US citizens to understand the true nature of the political class that decides an increasing amount of our day to day lives.  ,  Greek Deposit Plunge Continues As Tax Inspection Finds Every Business On Zakynthos Broke The Law  On one hand we have Mario Draghi promising he has a magic wand (not a printer - remember the keys to that are now held by Angela Merkel who is on vacation) and to "believe him" that the EUR will survive. On the other we have Greece which is a poster child of everything that is wrong in Europe. And that we summarize as follows: i) an epic and now relentless deposit outflow from Greek banks which continues as all trust in the local banking system is now gone, as 7 billion in deposits or the second biggest amount ever, is pulled and 20% of the entire corporate and household deposit base has vaporized in the past year, and ii) an economy in which it is every man for himself and where nobody pays any taxes any more, period. Good luck Super Mario.  ,  Guest Post: 4 Reasons Why You Should Stop Believing In Chinese Leadership  Did you know that Chinese government officials are all corrupt? Did you know that many of Chinese statistics look either weird or totally unreliable to a point that even the Vice Premier cant help admitting it? People outside of China have never really trusted the Chinese Communist Party as far as politics are concerned, and probably never will. However, the seemingly unstoppable growth engine of China has produced a remarkable level of complacency among investors that China is going to do well. While recent economic data from China are mixed at best, the market consensus is unanimously biased towards believing that the second quarter is the bottom. We do not understand the reasons behind the faith in the Chinese leadership as far as running the economy is concerned.  Here are a few reasons why you should just stop believing in the Chinese leadership when it comes to running the economy.  ,  Citi On Draghi: Expect Nothing From The ECB Before The ESM Is Active (In September At The Earliest)  , The US Is Not Japan Or Your Average Stagnation: It Is Much Worse  ,  Barofsky On Geithner: "We Should See People In Handcuffs"  There is no point in recapping the ongoing vendetta between former SIGTARP Neil Barofsky and former head of the NY Fed, and current Treasury secretary and resident TurboTax expert Tim Geithner. One need but follow the former on Twitter for a quick and concise sampling of the sentiments harbored vis-a-vis the latter. However, in the following interview Barfosky does touch on some points which in the context of the recent Liborgate, should be brought front and center, especially since the increasingly apathetic US audience seems to not care about one bit (as opposed to their distant cousins across the Atlantic for whom Lieborgate has become a daily distraction). Namely, what Barofsky says is that Geithner and other regulators who allowed Lieborgate to proceed should not only lose their job but we should "see [Geithner] in handcuffs."  Sadly that will never happen as it would actually be a deterrent to future crime among the highest echelons of America: something which is just not allowed to happen in a system whose very survival is increasingly reliant on rampant criminality. { Unfortunately, this is true and documented early on from my direct experience: The unfortunate reality is what Ive alluded to in the context of my own direct experience; viz., americas legal system is an illegal system used to cover-up crimes, arbitrarily enforce laws to apply pressure, etc., and essentially run by the inmates of this collective criminal entity called america: http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf

Aside from that, I find him/his films boring, shallow, and plebian beyond tears; hardly the philosopher king. Yet, I also dont give a f**k regarding gays living their lives as they wish, with full constitutional protections consistent with their presumed law-abiding lives, particularly in a world like this, such as it is. But, that doesnt mean the state must get behind (no pun intended) same. There are few if any legal statuses that cant be achieved through legal document, ie., adoptions, trust beneficiaries, etc.. Marriage, procreation, the province of a man/woman relationship has always been a given. Also interesting was the take on same by reknown Psychiatrist Maslow (his famed, laudable work regarding hierarchy of needs, etc., needs no introduction) who wrote and posited that homosexuality was physically, anatomically contraindicated. Again, let me reiterate a live, let live position while cautioning against the state getting behind (again, no pun) same and potentially giving young, pubescent, impressionable boys the idea that penises were made for male a**holes and not female vaginas. ] ...  OBAMA ADMITS FABRICATING GIRLFRIEND IN MEMOIR { Latent gay man obama -  ...   Barack Obama: The Naked Emperor Shocking but true revelations from David Icke| ..Obama is just more of the same, a big smile with strings attached, and controlled completely by those that chose him, trained him, sold him and provided his record funding, kept his many skeletons under wraps, like the gay sex and crack cocaine ..

12 Pictures That Demonstrate How The New World Order Openly Mocks Us

http://albertpeia.com/newworldordervedgesmockus.htm

{ First, let me say that the vedges of the so-called new world order are in no real position to mock anyone, so mockable as they indeed are, as the incompetent vegetables that they in fact are, who have been the very architects of ultimately their own and the planets decline, fall, and demise. Yet, there is no question but that the masses so mocked, deserve to be mocked, having embraced their dismal fate at every turn; viz., their embrace of political correctness, though contraindicated, as, ie., the embrace of the violent, destructive nigger who literally would have them for dinner, or the compulsion to embrace that which the state says is right, though contraindicated, for political expedience owing to failure fed (including the incompetent missteps of the failed fed) desperation, ie., gay marriage, etc., contrived wars / conflicts, among other clearly observable, self-interested behavior of people, companies, nations, including the gargantuan bailed out frauds on wall street to everyones (but the frauds) detriment, still unprosecuted. That the jive-talking, b***s*** artist/grifter/con-man obama has not been held to even one of his former now broken campaign promises and is embraced by those foolish enough to believe more of the same is testament to how deserving of mocking the masses truly are (people should be outraged and wobama should be ridden out on a rail). Make no mistake; the reality is that the new world order/so-called elite are not elite at all; but rather, incompetent vegetables who cant do anything right as theyve now proven time and time again. As I previously said: The Elite Believe That You Are Ruining Their Planet And They Want You To Stop Reproducing

{ First and foremost clarification: There are no elite on this planet. The grim reality for this planet is a dominant species descended from initially notochords, primitive chordates, and relatively more recently primitive apes.

You may have read Weill is the one who sold his Manhattan penthouse for nearly $90 million and has other expensive assets on the market. As the man behind the curtain who lobbied Clinton, Rubin, Greenspan, Gramm, Dodd and others to okay his merging Travelers/Smith-Barney with Citigroup, he now says it was a mistake. He liked it when his group could trade publicly insured deposits. What nerve! "Anybody who says that is off their mind. I think the model really works."  What Sandy Weill stated to Maria Bartiromo on the end of bigger is better in 2007. (The model worked for him, eh?) New Home Sales disappointed and fell 8.9% (350K vs 370K expected & prior 369K) which was the only U.S. economic news underscoring that the housing market hasnt bottomed. The prices for new homes were down 3.2% from a year ago.In overseas news the euro rallied as the ECBs Nowotny suggested they could leverage the bailout funds. Greek leader Samaras met with the troika finally although he doesnt have the backing of his coalition yet. Euro shorts were squeezed even as most dismissed this idea as unlikely. German (EWG) shares rose higher on better earnings from Daimler (DAI) although German Business Climate Survey fell to 103.3 vs 105.4. More significantly, UK GDP data came in unexpectedly weaker dropping to -.7% as their recession deepens.   http://albertpeia.com/ukrecessiondeepens.jpg    The DJIA was higher early led by strong gains in index heavyweight Caterpillar (CAT) on higher earnings ($2.54 vs $2.28 expected) and a more positive outlook for the companys construction equipment and overseas mining. Boeing (BA) also delivered positive results but most of its activities were reasonably well known. With CATs heavy weighting the DJIA was able to rally modestly Wednesday. Meanwhile Apples (AAPL) surprising miss held back technology while gains in the semiconductor sector (SOXX) allowed tech to rally modestly.  Meanwhile the dollar fell (UUP) as an ECB official (Nowotny) suggested that bailouts could be leveraged which caused a short squeeze in the euro (FXE). But, most pundits didnt think leveraging would be possible given current political views within the EU. Besides, the German court hasnt even ruled whether bailouts were constitutional. Gold (GLD) rallied once again resuming its uncorrelated relationship with the dollar. Other commodities (DBC) rallied with the weaker dollar as well. Bonds (IEF) were modestly weaker.

7-24-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   MARKETS REMAIN UNDER PRESSURE  7-24-12  Markets took a pounding again Tuesday and are probably getting oversold {not if reality has anything to do with pricing-AP}. Once again we saw a late day stick save to halve the days decline in the DJIA. The overall negative mood features overall poor earnings and economic data. The eurozone debt issues continue to haunt global stock markets. Moodys cutting the outlook for Germany and the Netherlands to negative was a shock to both countries. The Greek government has refused to meet with their troika masters regarding their commitment to reform and austerity. Midday there was a report the Greeks needed to restructure their debts as if that were news. The Germans have stated they will not compromise on previous Greek commitments. Thats where we stand currently. Flash PMI came in weaker than expected (51.8 vs 52.6 expected & prior 52.9) and the Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index fell sharply (-17 vs .0 expected & prior -3) as both act as a precursor to more weakness. More positive news came from the Home Price Index which rose (.8% vs .3% expected & prior .7%). The catalyst for a reversal in sentiment could very well come from Apple (AAPL) which had seen a large volume of call options being bought before earnings. Earnings were reported after the close for Broadcom (BRCM) and the stock rallied 6% while Netflix (NFLX) dropped 13%. Apple (AAPL) misses with revenues of $35 billion vs $37 billion expected and earnings $9.32 vs $10.35 expected. Margins were lighter at 42.8% vs 43.8 expected. The stock is down roughly 6% or $30 initially. The dollar (UUP) rallied as did bonds (IEF). Gold (GLD) prices were slightly higher but given the debt and forex chaos it may decouple from historical gold/dollar trends. Grain (JJG) prices came back to earth helped by some rains (perhaps too late) and overbought conditions. Oil (USO) prices were on the flat side while natural gas prices (UNG) continued to rally. The Feds oracle, WSJ reporter John Hilsenrath, stated in a late-breaking story that the Fed was getting ready to act which was the rumor driving stocks higher toward the close. Stocks were universally lower led by small caps (IWM) and just about everything else frankly. Volume was much higher on selling while breadth per the WSJ was once again negative. Were short-term oversold…’  ,  What In The World Is Wrong With American Kids?   http://albertpeia.com/nothingthatsaneradultscantcure.htm     ,  Biderman Goes All-In Bearish  ZeroHedge.com  Tyler Durden  Shifting to 100% bearish he sees at least a 20% drop from April highs followed by potentially worse as the realization of the fiscal cliff begins. The glass-half-full-of-truth Biderman notes four specific reasons for his bearish call: from wage and salary growth slowing to barely positive YoY, to the Fed's inability to create any multiplier effect to boost the economy; and from the slowing global economy where "low tides will uncover all the hidden garbage created by booms" to the basic supply/demand of stock and money based on his 'Demand' index dropping to six-month lows. His bearish view is not even predicated on Europe's conflagration accelerating which would simply add more fuel to the growing fire.  ,  David Stockman: "The Capital Markets Are Simply A Branch Casino Of The Central Bank"  "This market isn't real. The two percent on the ten-year, the ninety basis points on the five-year, thirty basis points on a one-year those are medicated, pegged rates created by the Fed and which fast-money traders trade against as long as they are confident the Fed can keep the whole market rigged. Nobody in their right mind wants to own the ten-year bond at a two percent interest rate. But they're doing it because they can borrow overnight money for free, ten basis points, put it on repo, collect 190 basis points a spread, and laugh all the way to the bank. And they will keep laughing all the way to the bank on Wall Street until they lose confidence in the Fed's ability to keep the yield curve pegged where it is today. If the bond ever starts falling in price, they unwind the carry trade. Then you get a message, "Do not pass go." Sell your bonds, unwind your overnight debt, your repo positions. And the system then begins to contract... The Fed has destroyed the money market. It has destroyed the capital markets. They have something that you can see on the screen called an "interest rate." That isn't a market price of money or a market price of five-year debt capital. That is an administered price that the Fed has set and that every trader watches by the minute to make sure that he's still in a positive spread. And you can't have capitalism if the capital markets are dead, if the capital markets are simply a branch office branch casino of the central bank. That's essentially what we have today."  ,  The Li(e)bor Rigging Scandal Infographic For Dummies     ,   Netflix Plunges After Cutting Q3 Outlook, Sees Q4 Loss   ,  Gold Outperforms But Hilsenrath-Rally Fails, As VIXophrenic Equities Converge To Bonds YTD   Pathetic. A late day surge to test yesterday's lows and VWAP (which makes some technical sense) was buoyed by positivity from yet another Hilsenrath 'hint'. The total lack of response in the afternoon as German and Spanish FinMins tried to jawbone us up was the reality. We do note though that all the 'Hint' managed to do was get us back to VWAP - which suggests that 'the force is weakening with this one'.   ,  Hilsenrath Once Again With The 3:55 PM Sticksave  { Bad enough that of itself that failed QE welfare for wall street only is contraindicated, but this is outright purposeful market manipulation! How totally pathetic! } Just like last time around when stocks were plunging with no knight in shining armor in sight, until the Fed's faithful mouthpiece-cum-scribe Jon Hilsenrath showed up with a report, subsequently disproven, that more QE is coming minutes before the market close on July 6, so today stocks appeared poised for a precipice until some time after 3 pm it was leaked that none other than Hilseranth once again appeared, at precisely 3:55 pm, with more of the same. Ironically, the market only saw the word Hilsenrath in the headline, and ignored the rest. The irony is that this time around the Fed's scribbler said nothing that we did not know, namely that the Fed can do something in August, or it may do something in September, or it may do nothing, none of which is actually news.  ,  GM Stock Slides To Fresh Post-Bankruptcy Lows  ,  On Gold And The US Debt Trap?  As with much of the euro area, the US is in a debt trap.

Yet even now, amid a new economic slowdown, US consumer price inflation is set to remain positive following a large spike in global food prices. Few things damage economic confidence more than food price inflation. Combined with the escalating financial crises in the euro area and also now in US municipals, the global slowdown already underway is likely to accelerate, leading to a further deterioration of sovereign finances. The debt trap is deepening, with ominous consequences for monetary and price inflation. The dollar and most currencies remain severely overvalued; gold and most commodities, undervalued. Those not in a position to vote themselves pay rises should consider buying some gold instead. Diluting dollars are not a store of value.

The latest B-grade economic indicator: the Richmond Fed, which was expected to rise modestly from -3 to -1. Instead it faceplanted to -17, the biggest miss since August 2010 and the lowest print since Apirl 2009. But at least US housing has bottomed. Just kidding. At this point there should be no doubt that the US economy is in freefall - and the only recourse we have is the definition of madness: more QE which everyone by now knows will do nothing but provide a brief sugar high, and spike inflation and stock prices, only for everything to implode demanding even more QEasing from the Chairsatan, and on, and on, until in the endgame, the USD finally loses credibility. Of course, if this horrifyingly bad economic print does not send stocks soaring, we don't know what will.  ,  Charting America's Ever Shrinking "Revisionist" Economy  ,  Dominoes Tumbling: Catalonia Informally Requests Bailout As Spain Considering Credit Line Request  ,  Six Reasons Why Spain Will Be Forced To Request A Sovereign Bailout

7-23-12  David Rosenberg On A Modern Day Depression Vs Dow0  This is looking more and more like a modern-day depression. After all, last month alone, 85,000 Americans signed on for Social Security disability cheques, which exceeded the 80,000 net new jobs that were created: and a record 46 million Americans or 14.8% of the population (also a record) are in the Food Stamp program (participation averaged 7.9% from 1970 to 2000, by way of contrast) enrollment has risen an average of over 400,000 per month over the past four years. A record share of 41% pay zero national incomes tax as well (58 million), a share that has doubled over the past two decades. Increasingly, the U.S. is following in the footsteps of Europe of becoming a nation of dependants. Meanwhile, policy stimulus, whether traditional or non-conventional, are still falling well short of generating self-sustaining economic growth.  ,  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   http://albertpeia.com/stockmarketreplay.htm  2010-2011 STOCK MARKET REPLAY  7-23-12 Charts look similar to the past two years even though were still in July. In 2010 Bernanke delivered the second round of QE which kicked-off the post Labor Day stock market rally. Of course the punchbowl was taken away in June 2011 and markets had their volatile hissy-fit. Now we face another round of European worries which have returned like a bad habit. Investors are finding it all tiresome now and the BS about it being fixed has worn thin.The new Greek coalition has refused to meet with the troika regarding its commitments. Germany has stated there will be no further bailout money without these commitments being adhered to. That would probably lead Greeks out of the eurozone which may be a good thing for them ultimately. Eurozone Consumer Confidence fell (-21.6 vs -20 expected)no surprise really. Italy and Spain banned short-selling Monday. For some fun heres Britains Nigel Farage in one of his many speeches mocking eurozone efforts.When I suggest were returning to the past few years is more about volatility increasing as markets respond furiously to rapidly changing conditions. After all, HFTs and their algos long-term view is measured in seconds responding more to each other than any real news let alone economic philosophy. So Da Boyz operating these systems in concert with the exchanges are just picking each others pockets second by second.Markets quickly succumbed to downward pressure Monday as equities gapped open sharply lower, bond prices (IEF) rose, gold (GLD) and commodities (DBC) fell while the dollar (UUP) rose slightly.  ,  James Holmes Is Not Alone - 20 More Examples Of The Sickos That Are Overrunning America  http://albertpeia.com/americansickos.htm   ,  12 Signs That Spain Is Shifting Gears From Recession To Depression   http://albertpeia.com/12signsspainrecessiontodepression.htm   ,  The New York Times Admits That Virtually Every Major News Organization Allows The News To Be Censored By Government Officials   http://albertpeia.com/nytimessaysallusnewscensoredbygovt.htm   ,  55 Percent Of Americans Believe That The Government Will Take Care Of Them If Disaster Strikes  http://albertpeia.com/55percentamericansbelievegovernmentwilltakecareofthemindisaster.htm   { Of course, this is absolutely foolish based upon reality and what weve actually witnessed.

Why Were Called Phoenix Capital Research

July 23, 2012 By gpc1981   http://albertpeia.com/europesystemiccollapse.htm

‘…We are Phoenix Capital Research.With that in mind, its clear now that the world is entering a period of wealth destruction. Europe is in the midst of a sovereign debt crisis. History tells us that this will entail more than one sovereign nation going belly-up. Indeed, I believe that well see ALL of the PIIGS as well as France stage sovereign defaults in the coming months.

After that will come Japan, then finally the US. By the time the smoke clears, we will have seen systemic collapse.

This will mean:

1)   Many major banks disappearing, as well as numerous potentially lengthy bank holidays (think Argentina in 2001)

2)   Multiple sovereign defaults as well as broad economic contractions and their commensurate unemployment/ civil unrest/ erasure of retirement accounts/ pensions (this process has already begun in some US municipals, e.g. San Bernandino and Stockton California as well as Harrisburg Pennsylvania).

3)   Possibly new currencies being introduced or new denominations of currencies (say one new unit being worth 1,000 of the old one)

4)   Massive wealth destruction to the tune of tens of trillions of Dollars (think MF Global i.e. the money is gone only systemically in fact we just had another such instance with PF)

5)   A global contraction that will result in new political/ power structures being implemented as well as the breakup of various countries/ unions.

6)   Very serious trade wars to begin (see Obamas recent attack on China) and very possibly a real war.

If the above make you frightened, youre not alone. As Ive dug deeper and deeper into the inner workings of the global financial system over the past months, the information Ive come across has only gotten worse. Ive been holding off writing all of this because up until roughly April/May it seemed possible that the world might veer towards another outcome.

I no longer view this to be the case. I am almost certain that what Ive written above will come to pass. I know that much of what Ive written to you in the past could be labeled as gloom and doom. However, I want you to know that I do not use the words systemic collapse lightly. Indeed, I wish I wasnt mentioning them now, but Id be doing you a disservice not to bring them up because were well on our way towards it…’

 

 

 

7-20-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  THE PROBLEM CHILD RETURNS  7-20-12 Bulls had been yakking in the financial media that one reason stocks could rally was eurozone issues were subdued and being resolved. But now theyve returned like tar balls washing up on the beach. FridayEuropean policy makers agreed to a bailout of Spanish banks but this received a Bronx Cheer from investors. Prime Minister Rajoy stated another year of recession was likely and the province of Valencia needs a rescue (a la U.S. municipalities). Spains sovereign debt was downgraded to CC+ from CCC+ by Egan Jones (gaining more credibility by the day) as ten year interest rates rose to an unmanageable 7.27%. Italian credits and markets werent far behind in the declines with stocks falling over 5.80% in Spain and 4.40% in Italy. Flight to safety saw investors rushing to negative yields in German, Swiss and other higher quality bonds.As with citizens in other troubled eurozone countries theyre not willing to accept austerity and have taken to the streets. Italian Prime Minister Monti referred to these protests as increasing Italys borrowing costs and adding to the contagion. As to Greece, well theres nothing to say since theyve done zip to abide by their commitments.Associated to this mess is news the senior economist at the IMF quit accusing senior leaders of suppressing negative news and forecasts regarding the eurozone saying they had a pro-European bias. This is hardly surprising. China stated last night that it will not ease up on property speculation meaning less stimulus than many had hoped.All of this isnt lost on investors in the U.S. either. Stocks took a beating but still may allow for a headline beat for the week. (That kind of stuff sells soap.) General Electric (GE) always hard to define as a company (conglomerate?) reported earnings that missed on revenue but beat estimates by a penny. But, you have to wade through a lot of adjustments to get to the number the street likes.Lazard Capital Markets commentator Art Hogan stated: For the earnings season, expectations had been set low enough across the board for earnings beats but were not seeing revenue growth in most cases and guidance has been lackluster. Economic data has been ignored. That sums it up for me.The dollar (UUP) advanced naturally on the risk off Friday while bonds (IEF or better known now as mattress money) saw prices rise. Gold (GLD) struggling over recent weeks gained slightly on the day. Commodity markets (DBC, JJC and USO) saw serious profit-taking on the dollars advance and some thinking (where have they been?) that global economic contraction would negatively affect demand.There werent many leading sectors beyond internet (FDN) Friday while the previous tell of trouble was the ongoing weakness in financial and bank sectors (XLF) & (KBE).Volume was still on the light side while breadth per the WSJ was negative.

This has now changed, with the departure of Peter Doyle, formerly a division chief in the IMFs European Department responsible for non-crisis countries and currently an adviser to the Fund. Not content with quietly slinking off the scandal ridden organization which has become the butt of all jokes in the international community, where humor about Lagarde's Louis Vuitton panhandling bag is as pervasive as punchlines about just how incompetent the organization is at actually doing its duty, Doyle has penned the following scathing letter which tears down every myth about the IMF: from its impartiality, to the selection process of its head, to its effectiveness. The letter also contains the following gem: "After twenty years of service, I am ashamed to have had any association with the Fund at all." Pretty much says it all. This is a scandal in the making, and one which may shake to the core the credibility of the IMF in the context of international organization.  ,  Guest Post: Falling Interest Rates Destroy Capital  Falling interest rates are a feature of our current monetary regime, so central that any look at a graph of 10-year Treasury yields shows that it is a ratchet (and a racket, but that is a topic for another day!).  There are corrections, but over 31 years the rate of interest has been falling too steadily and for too long to be the product of random chance.  It is a salient, if not the central fact, of life in the irredeemable US dollar system. Irving Fisher, writing about falling prices (I shall address the connection between falling prices and falling interest rates in a forthcoming paper) proposed a paradox: The more the debtors pay, the more they owe. Debtors slowly pay down their debts and reduce the principle owed.  This would reduce the NPV of their debts in a normal environment.  But in a falling-interest-rate environment, the NPV of outstanding debt is rising due to the falling interest rate at a pace much faster than it is falling due to debtors payments.  The debtors are on a treadmill and they are going backwards at an accelerating rate.

Spanish Stocks Plunge Most In 12 Months As Egan-Jones Cuts Spain To CCC+  ,  US Banks Battered On Spain's Bailout Approval  ,  EURUSD Free-Falling  ,  Seven Sigma Rally In LQD: Be Careful Where You Reach For Yield  With 'safe-haven' yields at extreme lows (and negative in some cases), there is sense in 'reaching for yield' but - obviously - any increase in yield implies an increase in risk (and just because it is called a 'bond' doesn't mean its safer than an 'equity'). By way of example, moving to investment grade credit is the 'strategy du jour' of many asset allocators - "a little more yield and it's still IG after all." However, while this is a decent safety strategy overall - in a diversified and actively managed credit book, falling for the easy route of buying the liquid IG bond ETF LQD may run some into problems - no matter how much its 'price' tracks Treasuries. The last month has seen LQD experience a 7-sigma rally and it stands at multi-month rich levels to its intrinsic value (which implicitly places technical bids in the cash market). What worries us the most about LQD specifically is, we suspect retail investors who are piling in are unaware of the exposures within the portfolio of bonds. LQD is 24.3% weighted in financials - the very same Libor-rigging, beached-whale, NIM-compressing financials that are anything but 'risk-free'. As a reminder, an old adage from credit portfolio management, "the loss from losers far exceeds the gains from winners" and at these levels of price (and therefore yield) there is a lot of convexity in that risk-reward. Understanding the credit risk you are taking is key.

Palease, dont make me laugh! This bad news is good scenario based upon hopes for contraindicated, egregiously failed QE for the benefit of the frauds on wall street only to the detriment of everyone else with such hopium rallying stocks has gone beyond the point of ridiculous. Its really rather pathetic, these so-called wall street mavens/titans of capitalism, the largest of which remain unprosecuted for their huge, lucrative, debilitating frauds wanting/expecting even more on the public dole. Theyve even gotten to the point where their computers are selling to themselves for the churn and earn along with the algo-driven contraindicated moves up. The markets are totally cooked! Dave as always is spot-on the case! }  Theres plenty of bad economic data to motivate QE3 fans. Jobless Claims rose (386K vs 365 expected & prior revised higher to 352K). The least noticed in the report is 86K were dropped from benefits as their 99 week period expired. Existing Home Sales disappointed (4.37M vs 4.65M expected & prior 4.55M). Leading Economic Indicators fell (-.3% vs -.1% expected & prior .3%). Worse yet was the Philly Fed (-12.9 vs -.8 expected & prior -16.6). Taken together this gives the bad news bulls something to cheer. Below is a chart courtesy of Zero Hedge pointing out the worst part of the Philly Fed readingemployment sub index. Stock markets are rallying substantially as investors rotate away from previous winning sectors like REITs (IYR) and Financials/Banks (XLF & KBE) towards tech (XLK). Once again, there really has never been a bull market without financials in the mix. The last time we saw sharp rallies with financials still lagging was in the Great Depression. IBM was one of the market leaders and investors should remember the DJIA (DIA) is a price-weighted index with big blue being the heaviest weighting at 11%. In fact the top 5 represent 33% of the entire index and top 10 or the 30 at 55%. This is why those following the index often find results misleading as to overall market conditions. IBM jumped 3.70% despite lower revenues but better guidance. Qualcomm (QCOM) up 4% and EBay (EBAY) up 8% added to the enthusiasm for tech while financials and other sectors were weak. After the close SanDisk (SNDK), Microsoft (MSFT) and Google (GOOG) all reported earnings that seemed to please lowered estimates. (Thats the way the game is played folks.) Despite Bernanke stating yesterday that the eurozone was a long way away from being fixed bulls ignored it for now. After all conditions there are quiet and negative headlines are scant. Spanish yields soared to a record as the German parliament voted to approve loans to Spanish banks. The high court in Germany has still to rule on the constitutionality of bailout mechanisms. Meanwhile current crop conditions have deteriorated enough to make the headlines perhaps meaning a time to close long ag (DBA & JJG) positions after such a big move. Nevertheless, better load up on the Corn Flakes while you can. Commodities (DBC) & (USO) continue their upward march. Oh, and while youre getting your Corn Flakes better gas up since prices will be rising.Volume was once again ultra-light while breadth per the WSJ was positive to mixed…’    ,  This Is The Government: Your Legal Right To Redeem Your Money Market Account Has Been Denied - The Sequel  ZeroHedge.com  Tyler Durden  Two years ago, in January 2010, Zero Hedge wrote "This Is The Government: Your Legal Right To Redeem Your Money Market Account Has Been Denied" which became one of our most read stories of the year. The reason? Perhaps something to do with an implicit attempt at capital controls by the government on one of the primary forms of cash aggregation available: $2.7 trillion in US money market funds. The proximal catalyst back then were new proposed regulations seeking to pull one of these three core pillars (these being no volatility, instantaneous liquidity, and redeemability) from the foundation of the entire money market industry, by changing the primary assumptions of the key Money Market Rule 2a-7. A key proposal would give money market fund managers the option to "suspend redemptions to allow for the orderly liquidation of fund assets."  ,  Guest Post: Where Is The Line For Revolution?  The subject of revolution is a touchy one.  Its not a word that should be thrown around lightly, and when it is uttered at all, it elicits a chaotic jumble of opinions and debates from know-it-alls the world over.  The R word has been persona non grata for quite some time in America, and until recently, was met with jeers and knee-jerk belligerence.  However, lets face it; today, the idea is not so far fetched.  We have a global banking system that is feeding like a tapeworm in the stagnant guts of our economy.  We suffer an election system so fraudulent BOTH sides of the political spectrum now represent a hyper-rich minority while the rest of us are simply expected to play along and enjoy the illusion of choice.  We have a judicial body that has gone out of its way to whittle down our civil liberties and to marginalize our Constitution as some kind of outdated relic.  We have an executive branch that issues special orders like monarchical edicts every month, each new order even more invasive and oppressive than the last.  And, we have an establishment system that now believes it has the right to surveil the citizenry en masse and on the slightest whim without any consideration for 4th Amendment protections.

In a previous article we provided analysis on economic/equity decoupling (cognitive dissonance) and showed that the economy as we know it cannot persist--we are either due for a literal gap-up in leading economic conditions, or we are due for a serious correction in US equities.  With today's 5.4% slip in existing home-sales, let's go with the latter.  ,  Ray Dalio's Bridgewater On The "Self Re-Inforcing Global Decline"  ,  Guest Post: Corporate Profits Surge At Expense Of Workers  For investors, the continued increases in profitability, at the expense of wages, is very finite.  It is revenue that matters in the long term - without subsequent increases at the top line; bottom line profitability is severely at risk.  The stock market is not cheap, especially in an environment where interest rates are artificially suppressed and earnings are inflated due to "accounting magic."  This increases the risk of a significant market correction particularly with a market driven by "hopes" of further central bank interventions.  This reeks of a risky environment, which can remain irrational longer than expected, that will eventually revert when expectations and reality collide.  ,  The Philly Fed Just Signaled The End Of Obama's 'Jobs' Recovery?  Hidden under the covers of this morning's already dismal headline print in the Philly Fed data was a considerably worse than expected employment sub-index.

Morning Snapshot  Jul 19th, 2012 by News  (USAGOLD) — Gold is well bid today, underpinned by heightened Mideast tensions and a corresponding rise in oil prices. Additionally, another round of disappointing US economic data has once again revived hopes of additional Fed measures to support the languishing economy. Nonetheless, the yellow metal continues to struggle ahead of $1600.Initial jobless claims, existing home sales, LEI and the Philly Fed index all missed expectations, prompting at least Goldman Sachs (but likely others) to revise their GDP forecast lower once again. Amid continued Fed opaqueness on the prospect of QE3, even the slightest hint of a weaker economy reinvigorates the QE3 crowd; essentially turning a negative into a positive, in the sense that bad data can cause stocks to rise as expectations of Fed action is heightened. Today’s data where significantly more than a ‘slight hint’…Probes above the 20- and 50-day moving averages this week are somewhat encouraging to the technical picture, but a convincing move back above $1600 is likely needed to prompt short-covering. More significant resistance is marked by the early-July highs at 1623.54/1624.64, which corresponds closely with the 100-day moving average.

US Philly Fed index improved to -12.9 in Jul, but was below expectations of -8.0, vs -16.6 in Jun.
US leading indicators -0.3% in Jun, on expectations of -0.1%, vs upward revised +0.4% in May.
US existing home sales tumbled 5.4% to 4.37 mln in Jun, below market expectations of 4.62 mln, vs upward revised 4.62 mln in May.
US initial jobless claims +34k to 386k for the week ended 14-Jul, above expectations of 365k, vs upward revised 352k in the previous week.

7-18-12 Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   DONT FIGHT THE TAPE  7-18-12  Search as one might for bullish news, there was little to be found from a normal perspective. Intel (INTC) delivers a poor report and outlook but the market rallies sharply. In fact, Intel is one of the largest gaining stocks in the DJIA Wednesday. Its not a good idea to argue with the tape but the rationale for the rally is amusing naturally. Bank of America (BAC) reported earnings that beat while tech (XLK) continued to dominate with positive reports from VMWare (VMW) and EMC Corp (EMC). Bernankes last day of testimony offered few hints of more QE stating frankly the Feds balance sheet is limited but has some room. Most striking to me were his comments regarding the eurozone which were quite bearish to me: The eurozone has not come close to a solution to its problems. So, it remains unfixed but this item didnt bother bulls either on Wednesday. We have long equity positions overall so are pleased by a rally but that wont stop me from challenging conditions. Frankly, the elephant in the room remains the fiscal cliff and eurozone. Economic data from Housing Starts which beat estimates (.760M vs .745M expected & prior .711M); however New Housing Permits missed (.755M vs.775M expected & prior .784M) making the number a wash. But the trading algos liked the first number. Meanwhile the Feds Beige Book showed what we already knewa slowdown is at hand even as some spun it positively. But, Bernanke testified Wednesday that he didnt expect a recession but some might remember back in 2007 he stated assuredly subprime was contained. Stocks in the U.S. rallied because the momentum players have seized the tape. Its reported that some are buying the S&P (SPY) for example paired with VIX call options as a hedge. Thats an interesting strategy. The dollar (UUP) was flat while commodities (DBC), (USO), (JJG) and (JJC) were stronger particularly abetted by the ongoing drought. Gold (GLD) remains weak as investors find it tiresome and seek greater returns. Theres plenty of rotation going on within sectors as we move abruptly between risk on/off sentiment. Wednesday financials (XLF) & (KBE) and REITs (IYR) were weaker while investors rotated to tech. Bonds (IEF) were slightly higher. Volume (not shown on your brokerage statement) remains pathetically light on rallies. Breadth per the WSJ was positive…’  ,  11 International Agreements That Are Nails In The Coffin Of The Petrodollar  http://albertpeia.com/endofpetrodollar.htm   ,  UBS Issues Hyperinflation Warning For US And UK, Calls It Purely "A Fiscal Phenomenon"  ZeroHedge.com  Tyler Durden  7-18-12  From UBS: "We think that a creditor nation is less at risk of hyperinflation than a debtor nation, as a debtor nation relies not only on the confidence of domestic creditors, but also of foreign creditors. We therefore think that the hyperinflation risk to global investors is largest in the US and the UK. The more the fiscal situation deteriorates and the more central banks debase their currencies, the higher the risk of a loss of confidence in the future purchasing power of money. Indicators to watch in order to determine the risk of hyperinflation therefore pertain to the fiscal situation and monetary policy stance in high-deficit countries. Note that current government deficits and the current size of central bank balance sheets are not sufficient to indicate the sustainability of the fiscal or monetary policy stance and thus, the risk of hyperinflation. The fiscal situation can worsen without affecting the current fiscal deficit, for example when governments assume contingent liabilities of the banking system or when the economic outlook worsens unexpectedly. Similarly, the monetary policy stance can expand without affecting the size of the central bank balance sheet. This happens for example when central banks lower collateral requirements or monetary policy rates, in particular the interest rate paid on reserves deposited with the central bank. A significant deterioration of the fiscal situation or a significant expansion of the monetary policy stance in the large-deficit countries could lead us to increase the probability we assign to the risk of hyperinflation."   ,  Bernanke's Libor Alternatives  Libor is not a market determined interest rate, rather it is a trimmed mean from a survey of banks participating in a survey conducted on behalf of the British Bankers Association (BBA). There are a number of problems inherent in the survey-based Libor calculation. Chairman Bernanke was asked in testimony several times yesterday whether Libor should be dropped as a benchmark interest rate. His answer was Libor should be repaired or some market determined interest rate should be embraced as an alternative. He offered up 2 market-determined replacement possibilities for Libor: (1) Repo Rates; and (2) OIS rates. Both are market determined interest rates, but neither in our minds captures the essence of what Libor is supposed to measure. Stone & McCarthy's preference for a Libor alternative would simply be the eurodollar rate.  ,  Guest Post: The Growing Pressures Likely To Blow The Eurozone Apart  ,  Low Volume Equity Decoupling Becoming Farcical  ,  Sicily Is Greece As Italy Provides EUR400 Million 'Risk-Free' Bailout/Loan  ,  Spain Goes From Bad To Worse  ,  So Much For "Housing Has Bottomed" - Shadow Housing Inventory Resumes Upward Climb  Appropriately coming just after today's Housing Starts data, which captured MSM headlines will blast was "the highest since 2008" is the following chart from this morning's Bloomberg Brief, which shows precisely the reason why "housing has bottomed" - and it has nothing to do with organic demand rising.

7-17-12  The Federal Reserve Is Not Going To Save Us From The Great Depression That Is Coming  http://albertpeia.com/fedcantwontsaveusfromgreatdepression.htm   Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke delivered his annual address to Congress on Tuesday, and he did very little to give lawmakers much confidence about where the U.S. economy is heading.  Bernanke told members of Congress that recent economic data points "suggest further weakness ahead" and that the Federal Reserve is projecting that the U.S. unemployment rate will remain at 7 percent or above all the way through the end of 2014.  Now, it is important to keep in mind that Federal Reserve forecasts are almost always way too optimistic.  The actual numbers almost always end up being much worse than what the Fed says they will be.  So if Bernanke is saying that the U.S. unemployment rate will be 7 percent or higher until the end of 2014, then what will the real numbers end up looking like?  During his testimony, Bernanke seemed unusually gloomy about the direction of the U.S. economy.  He seemed resigned to the fact that there really isn't that much more that the Federal Reserve can do…’  ,  The New Depression: The Breakdown of the Paper Money Economy Jul 17th, 2012 15:10 by MK by Richard DuncanWhen we broke the link between money and gold, this removed all constraints on credit creation.

“Given the political realities, the Fed is the only game in town that can do anything to bolster the economy.” Senator Schumer

Naturally bulls assume QE3 will occur because it must politically. Members of congress made that plain today given the proximity of the election. Although Bernanke urged congress to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff that is drawing every nearer most polls brushed that off. So too did bulls who are desperate for a rally and expect QE3 will be there for the fix they need. End. Of. Story.Goldman Sachs did what most companies have successfully donelowered estimates making beating these a snap. And despite earnings lower by 11% that beat estimatesits the only game in town. Other companies are guiding lower like Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) as the companys unadjusted earnings plunged while adjusted earnings beat expectations slightly. Coca-Cola (KO) reported earnings that also beat. In late earnings news, Intel (INTC) reported earnings that disappointed by initial reaction as they cut outlook and Yahoo (YHOO) shares rose after its report.Its interesting how, since the court ruling on Obamacare, the healthcare sector (XLV) has risen and done so in dramatic fashion.

We know what happened after that, eh? Anyway, closely related REITs (IYR) continue to move higher believing real estate has bottomed even though there arent much single family homes in the sector.Goldman Sachs lowered GDP estimates to 1.2% which remains in stark contrast to Fed forecasts of near 2%.In the eurozone things are quiet although some bullish pundits have described conditions as stable which for most would be a short-term transitory description.

Fiscal 2011 shows that the under-funded level for S&P 500 companies' defined pensions reached an epic $354.7 billion - an increase of over $100 billion from 2010 and surpassing the 2008 record of $308.4 billion - and OPEB under-funding reached $223.4 billion. An aggregate $578 billion or 29.5% underfunding or the $1.96 trillion in obligations is increasing as the rates of return are reduced thanks to yet more unintended consequences of the Fed's ZIRP and perhaps most worrying is there comment that "The American dream of a golden retirement for baby boomers is quickly dissipating; plans have been reduced and the burden shifted with future retirees needing to save more for their retirement.  For many baby-boomers it may already be too late to safely build-up assets, outside of working longer or living more frugally in retirement."  ,   Does Not Compute: PFG Head Says Spent Stolen Client Money To Comply With Regulator Demands  Guest Post: Quite Possibly The Dumbest Thing Ive Heard An Economist Say  In the eyes of our most decorated scientists, the brilliance and guile of Ingvar Kamprad, Sam Walton, Ray Kroc, Asa Candler, Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, and millions of others are far less important than an effective government bureaucracy. His entire book, in fact, is an impassioned argument for even more government control and redistribution of wealth. Right because its been working so well. These ideas are totally absurd. Yet this what passes as science today. And because its science, society simply believes it to be true.  ,  The Post-World War II American Renaissance Lightning Will Not Strike Twice  There have been quite a few stories comparing the post-WWII American economic "renaissance" with expectations that the same confluence of beneficial circumstances may repeat now, resulting in the same benign outcome. Many of these stories touch upon the key points debated in today's everyday politics: taxes, massive debt overhang, and the treatment of private business. Sadly, most of these stories are also just that: mythical representations of an idealized reality, which however have no analogy to what actually happened in the 1950s. In other words, none of the conditions that were in place in 1950 which allowed net US debt to decline from 80% of GDP to just 46% in one decade, are here now.  ,  Are 401(k) Loan Defaults Set To Resurge? As they note, many people use the money to pay off other debt or to meet day-to-day expenses, and "Of course, participants are not deliberately defaulting," the study said.

As unemployment rates look set to rise, one can only imagine that these 401(k) loan losses, based on their study, are set to rise significantly.  ,  Peugeot, Its Record High Default Probability, And A Brief Primer On Corporate Viability Under Socialism  ,  Guest Post: How White Collar Crime Became The "Business Model" Of Corporate/State America  There are a number of cultural and governmental impediments to prosecuting WCCs. One of which is the corrupting influence of money to neuter regulations and to co-opt politically appointed regulators and prosecutors. Another is perception. Wealth in our country is equated with royalty or a high station in society, so people have a hard time seeing the white collar criminal as the deviant that he is. People have a hard time wanting to punish someone who looks nice, has nice clothes, drives a nice car, lives in a good neighborhood, went to a prestigious school, belongs to exclusive clubs, etc. vs. someone who does not have those things. If you're poor in this country, that's almost a crime in and of itself to some people. Conversely, rich people have all sorts of credibility, whether its deserved or not. Why should I listen to an actor about a topic that's not related to acting? Sure, he may have some interesting things to say, but he shouldn't be given automatic credibility on the subject and yet many people do just that.  ,  Sicily Is San Bernardino: With First Italian Region On Verge Of Default, Montius Pilate Washes His Hands  ,  Chuck Schumer To CTRL-P "Get To Work Mr. Chairman"...

Of course, since HSBC is one of the world's largest banks, what it did was not in any way unique, and it is quite fair to say that every other bank has the same loose anti-money "laundering" provisions. What HSBC was likely most at fault for was not providing sufficient hush money to the appropriate powers in the highest US legislative administration. But at least tomorrow we will have yet another dog and pony show, accusing that HSBC did what the NAR does every single day. Because let's not forget that the National Association of Realtors lobbied for and received a waiver for anti-money laundering provision regulations: after all how else will US real estate remain at its current elevated levels if not for the drug, blood, and fraud money from various Russian, Chinese, and petrodollar kingpins, mafia bosses and otherwise rich people who need to launder their money in the US, in the process keeping Manhattan real estate in the stratosphere? But one can't possibly pursue the real truth if it just may impair the fair value of that backbone of honest, hard-working US society: still massively overpriced housing in a world in which those who need mortgages will never get them.

7-13-12  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   http://etfdigest.com/commentary.html FRIDAY THE 13TH BAD NEWS BULLS  7-13-12  { Id go even further than Dave in terms of cynicism and point to what is tantamount to the pump and dumps, programmed churn and earn, ponzis, etc., and posit that they already know the news is going to be bad because the reality is that the economy, financial institutions sitting on worthless paper marked to anything with many trillions in derivatives exposure, the nation, the system are all broke/broken and its merely their attempt in their fraudulent alice in wonderland way to condition the Pavlov dogs of wall street et als to salivate on the prospect of bad news which is coming anyway. The fact is, fraudulent wall streets paper churning gains by way of QE are Main Streets and the real economys losses. There are no free lunches; so this is a great opportunity to sell/take profits since theres much, much worse to come. Really! }  Fed voting member Lockhart was quoted saying: It would take more bad news for more QE. The bad news keeps on coming and bulls are anxious for QE since for many theyre addicted to it. Friday the 13th was a good demonstration for the bad news bulls crowd. Most news was terrible. Even JP Morgans (JOM) earnings news was bizarre given trading losses and incompetent management oversight. But there are some big players with skin in the game so theyll take what they can get.Consumer Sentiment missed and was lower (72 vs 73.5 expected & prior 73.2). Thats the kind of news Lacker and bulls need more of I guess. In this ongoing Alice in Wonderland environment it then shouldnt surprise that Consumer Discretionary (XLY) stocks were higher. The PPI was also higher .1% vs -.4% expected & prior -1%) which surprised many especially as the core rate came in at .2%. News from China indicated GDP fell more than expected (7.6% vs 7.7% expected & prior 8.1%). Of course this is respectable for most economies but not for China. Bulls expect massive stimulus from the PBOC.The Bank of England (BOE) is in QE mode now and perhaps Bank of Japan (BOJ) is said to follow. Stimulus is nothing new to Japan where the government has tried all manner of Krugman-like stimulus packages over the past 22 years. None have worked.In the U.S. QE and ZIRP has boosted stock prices ephemerally but has done little to lift employment or the economy. So, does doing the same thing over and over again without success make sense? It does for short-term trading desk and hedge fund profitsthats all you really need to know. Youll recall yesterday the NY Fed issued a report stating plainly the result of their recent policies is why the S&P is at 1300 vs 600 where it would be without this help. (By the way, Jamie Dimon is a director of the NY Fed.).Stocks (led by banks KBE & etc), commodities, and even the euro were strong as this out of the blue rally demonstrates. Its hard to short when the Fed is hovering above and dangling more hints of QE-crack for the permabulls and HFTs. The only sector to experience some downside was bonds (IEF). Pick any other sector and it was only question of how much they rallied. Most pundits groped for details to explain the rally with comments like: The confidence number was off some but still way off the bottom and “…you eventually have to put some money to work and “…some will point to China as providing more stimulus and Warren Buffett has been trotted out to the media two days in row talking his book. And, so it goes. This day was reminiscent of the other out of the blue quarter end rally in June. That said, were long in portfolios around 40% with the balance in cash.Breaking: Late Friday news dump is Visa & Mastercard have reached a $7.25 billion settlement for overcharges with retailers.Volume was incredibly light but breadth per the WSJ was positive naturally. (Its hard to trust a rally based on such little volume frankly.)…’  ,  27 Things That Every American Should Know About The National Debt  http://albertpeia.com/27thingsamericansshouldknowaboutnationaldebt.htm   ,  Guest Post: Are Treasuries The Worst Investment In The World?   ZeroHedge.com Tyler Durden Lots of people have made good profits on Treasuries by buying them and flipping them to a greater fool or a central bank. On the other hand, so did many during the NASDAQ bubble, or during the 00s ABS bubble. Bubbles are profitable for some, and thats why there have been so many throughout history. But once the money starts to dry up they become excruciatingly painful. In theory, there are no limits to how low rates could go. In theory, nominal yields could go deeply negative, so long as there are buyers coming into the market ready to buy at a lower rate, and a push a profit to bond flippers. The inherent value in a bond is its yield; everything else is speculation. It is hard to really call the timing on the end of a bubble. People and events can always get more irrational. Japan has kept the Treasury ball (painfully) rolling for far longer than most of us expected (through market rigging as much as anything else). But this cannot end well.  ,  Ben Bernanke Has Created The Ultimate Bondsy Scheme  ,  Low Volume Squeeze Takes Stocks To Green On Week  S&P 500 e-mini futures (ES) traded up to almost perfectly recapture their 415ET close from last Friday after a 15-point, 30-minute ramp out of the gates at the US day-session open recouped five days of losses - as once again - we go nowhere quickly. Just for clarity: China GDP disappointed and provided no signal for massive stimulus; JPM announced bigger than expected losses, cheating on CDS marks, and exposed just how large their CIO was relative to income; Consumer sentiment printed at its worst this year; and QE-crimping inflation printed hotter than expectations - and we get a more-than-30 point rally in the S&P. Whether the fuel was JPM squeeze or another big European bank biting the liquidity dust and repatriating cajillions of EUR to cover costs (or Austria needing some cash for a debt payment), what was clear was equity market's outperformance of every other asset class - with the late day surge for a green weekly close particularly noteworthy. Apart from unch on the week, ES also managed to close right at its 50DMA, revert up to credit's less sanguine behavior intra-week, and up to VIX's relative outpeformance on the week (as VIX ended the week with its steepest term-structure in over 4 months). Treasuries ended the week 6-9bps lower in yield at the long-end (2-3bps at the short end) but the USD's plunge, on the absolute rampfest in EURUSD, took it back to unch for the week. Despite the USD unch-ness, Oil and Copper surged (on the day to help the week) up 2.5-3% on the week while even Gold and Silver managed a high beta performance ending the week up around 0.5%. ES ended the day notably rich to broad risk assets - and wil need some more weakness in TSYs and carry crosses to extend this - for now, the steepness of the volatility slope, velocity of squeeze, and richness of stocks to risk makes us a little nervous carrying longs here.  ,  One Explanation For Today's Irrational Exuberance  Since the EU-Summit, US and European equity markets have (in general) outperformed. From being in sync before the Summit, US equities went into the weekend with a sell-off, which then spurred a short-squeeze push as the S&P 500 was over-exuberant (relative to European equities) on the way up at the start of last week. That cracked back to reality at the end of last week - squeezing the over-levered longs to a significant underperformance relative to European equities. It would appear that in the last 24 hours, US equities are now rallying back to that European 'surreality'. Surreal because European stocks remain dramatically exuberant relative to European (peripheral spreads unch and AAA massively bid) and US (Treasuries bid) bonds and European corporate and financial credit. As we stand, the S&P 500 has retraced back to Europe's 'fair' perspective.

It’s laughable to hear him blame congress for his lack of accomplishments when the reality is that he ‘really wasn’t there’ for any of it. For wobama the presidency is just endless debate, rhetoric, campaigning, vacationing, soundbites from the teleprompted speeches, jive-talk, b***s***, and ‘choom fantasy’.

The policy change does not include a path to citizenship…’ Then there’s the other meretricious ‘wobama desperation hail mary’ that once again falls short. Indeed, as an investor, one analyzes earnings, projects prospective earnings over a 3-5 year horizon, and the quality of the earnings along macro economic factors which are affected by ‘political considerations’. Does anyone remember the honorable Ross Perot who warned of NAFTA’s effect on american jobs even as the democrat administration et als were hell-bent on passing same? Should Romney have breached his legal duty to shareholders and invested in companies with poor earnings prospects? After all, in the financial / security analysis step of projecting the income statement, prospective labor costs figure prominently in the bottomline. In sum, Romney took conditions as he found them, and made the prudent choices which as per his legal duty were optimal for those who put their trust in him. For those who put their trust in proven failure wobama, all they have to show for such misplaced trust are broken campaign promises, now insurmountable record deficit spending exceeding all the presidents since Eisenhower combined to obfuscate what clearly has been wobama’s unequivocal failure. ]

12 Factors That Are Turning The Streets Of America Into A Living Hell

http://albertpeia.com/12factorsamericancitieshellholes.htm



7-12-12  Two Myths That the Bulls Continue to Cling To Were Just Rendered Moot   http://albertpeia.com/twobullmythsnowmoot.htm   ,  Dustbowl: U.S. declares drought largest disaster area ever  ,  Jobless claims fall as plants put off retooling ‘…A Labor Department official said the data, which is adjusted to account for normal seasonal swings, may have been skewed because some automakers postponed annual closures for retooling. That means the temporary layoffs for retooling may have simply been postponed…’  ,  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  INVESTORS BIDE TIME AHEAD OF EARNINGS  7-12-12  Jobless Claims surprised (350K vs 375K expected & prior claim revised higher to 376K) which was a refreshing change. But, the week was interrupted by July 4th Holiday which as an important occasion may have more than a one day effect. Then there were the massive and lingering power outages on much of the mid-Atlantic region. So next weeks data should be more revealing. Overseas markets were much lower on a hangover from Fed Minutes which didnt offer bulls what they wanted. In fact, the end of quarter eurozone is fixed rally has been undone. In China and with GDP now at 7.7% (low by their standards) from 8.1% things look grim. In fact, Chinese leadership is more concerned with balancing more easing against an ongoing housing bubblegood luck with that.Another U.S. Treasury bond auction for the 30-year bond yielded 2.58% (TLT comparable) which is a stunning number given the duration risk investors must assume. Remember, there are large pension plans and other institutions that have a set allocation to bonds. Insurance companies generally must buy these maturities to meet actuarial tables and so forth. But you as a retail investor or financial advisor dont have to participate. You might do as well or better, sans the duration risk, with an insured CD. As a side note, while this happy little auction occurred the U.S. budget deficit passed $900 billion as of June; but, we dont want to talk about that do we? Imagine if interest rates were higher on our bonds how quickly we would collapse as a nation; but, again, we dont want to talk about that either.The DJIA (DIA) was lifted higher at mid-day after William Ackman announced he had been accumulating a large stake in Procter & Gamble (PG). That caused the stock to rally at one point over 4% lifting the price-weighted index and the defensive Consumer Staples ETF (XLP). (Naturally, algos and HFTs have any DJIA heavyweight programmed as trigger to rock and roll.) Not so lucky in the sector was a (gulp!) 50% decline in SuperValu (SVU) shares which are also a weight (not too heavily now) in Consumer Staples. Nevertheless, the DJIA is what Main Street seems obsessed with generally and a day like today can be misleading.Meanwhile the Midwest drought continues to destroy crops causing grains and other agricultural products to gain in price once again (JJG) & (DBA). These products continued to rise despite another small rally in the dollar (UUP) as the eurozone remains unfixed. Base metals like copper (JJC) and precious metals like gold (GLD) continued to slump. Energy (USO) & (UGA) continued to advance modestly as the U.S. adds a greater presence to prevent any disruption in the Straits of Hormuz. This is part of the cost of having no coherent or effective energy policy in the U.S. since the mid 1970s - lots of folks to blame there, eh?Stock markets are about supply and demand like most others and despite the growth of assets in ETFs (mostly bonds lately) the money-flow to mutual funds continues to be negative. Below is a chart from Zero Hedge reflecting several years of negativity. So with redemption rates obviously higher, fund managers have little in the way of cash for fresh investments. When they sit down each morning theyre given a number of fresh cash demands from overnight redemption requests. Ultimately this is bearish naturally.With markets deeply in the red early the Ackman announcement was all bulls needed to get things reversed to the upside. Basically were just marking time before more earnings and data are released to either support bulls or bears. Well start to see some important reports from financial and banks beginning. JP Morgan (JPM) is on tap for Friday morning. This report will be much watched (not to mention manipulatedsnicker) regarding recent trading losses, Libor involvement if any and their outlook. It should be a market mover.One of the most interesting stories of the day came late when a report from the Federal Reserve Bank of NY suggested that without Fed help the stock market would be 50% lower. This then is self-explanatory. Stocks closed Thursdays session lower but well off their lows. Volume was lower by recent periods and breadth per the WSJ was negative…’  , Dow Down Six-In-A-Row As QE-On Hopes Fade Into Close  ZeroHedge.com Tyler Durden Despite miraculous efforts to find the right fulcrum security to pressure stocks into the green for the day, equities end the day notably in the red after cracking (once again on heavy volume and large average trade size) into the close. Reverting as usual back to VWAP, the market was typically manic today with two significant QE-on pushes (Treasury yields lower as Stocks/Gold rallied with USD weakness) after the better-than-expected 30Y auction ended badly for stocks as it reverted rapidly back down to bond's reality into the close. Once again very close to record low yields in Treasuries - with 30Y yield down over 10bps on the week. Initial bids under Silver (which reverted up to perfectly sync with Copper on the week) and then WTI (over $86, post further sanctions) provided some correlated excitement for stocks but it was clear once again that the low volume liftathon was an exit opportunity for bigger players with financials and tech notably underperforming. Average volume and average trade size on the day in aggregate but the European close rally monkey just ran out of steam as 'size' stepped in to move ES down to its 50DMA and the Dow near its 200DMA to ends it sixth down day in a row.  ,  Guest Post: The Race for Energy Resources Just Got Hotter  ,  US June Deficit: $60 Billion, $17 Billion Worse Than Prior Year  ,  The Chronology Of A Collapse: Santelli's Primer On The PFG Debacle  ,  NYSE Short Interest Plunges By Most Since January, As Equity Outflows Hit One Month High  { Remember, short interest is a contrarian indicator inasmuch as its indicative of prospective short covering which fuels/exaggerates rallies, however unfounded. }  ,  Dummies Guide To Europe's Ever-Increasing Jumble Of Acronyms   ,  Here Come The Libor Liability Estimates  Just as we noted here, the analyst estimates for the potential impact of Libor (litigation and regulatory) liabilities have begun. Morgan Stanley sees up to a 17% hit to 2012 EPS (from $420 to $847 million per bank) in a worst case from just regulatory costs, and a further 6.8% potential hit to 2013 EPS if the top-down $400 million average per banks losses from litigation are taken on one year (considerably more if the bottom-up numbers of more than $1 billion are included). They see LIBOR risk in three parts: regulatory fines (we est median 7-12% hit to 12 EPS; litigation risk (7% EPS hit over 2 yrs); and less certainty on forward earnings. There are a plethora of assumptions - as one would expect - but the ranges of potential regulatory fine and litigation risk are very large though the MS analysts make the greater point that the LIBOR 'fixing' broadens investor support for more transparency in fixed income trading in addition to fixed income clearing leaving the threat of thinner margins as another investor concern.  ,  Europe's Equities Catch-Down To Credit  ,  Head Of GM Europe Steps Down  ,  Jim Grant Discusses The Fed's 'Backward Shooting Gun', And Black Walnut Tree Treasury Replacements  ,  Clarifying The Entirely Unremarkable Shift In ECB Deposits  ,  $10 Billion Away From $10 Trillion  According to the just released M2 update, the broadest publicly tracked monetary aggregate (because the Fed doesn't have enough money to keep track of M3) just hit $9,991.5 billion, a $43 billion increase from last week. In other words, this is the last week in which M2 is under $10 trillion. So enjoy it while the "complete lack of penetration" of the monetary base into broader monetary aggregates, and of the Fed's reserves so tightly locked up in bank vaults, is still only 13 digits (most of it comprising of bank deposits which of course represent no inflationary threat at all). Next week it will be a record 14 digits for the first time, and well on its way to surpassing the $15 trillion held in the deposit-free shadow banking system as the importance (and inflationary convexity) of the two is rapidly interchanged.  ,  Citi: "The Market Will Form A 'Terminal' High"  ,  Guest Post: Middle Class?

The productive, efficient private sectors of the economy are, in effect, subsidizing the most inefficient, unproductive parts of the economy.  Productivity has been siphoned off to financialized corporate profits, politically powerful cartels, and bloated State fiefdoms.  The current attempts to restart growth via the same old financialization tricks of more debt, more leverage, and more speculative excess backstopped by a captured Central State are failing. Neofeudal financialization and unproductive State/private vested interests have bled the middle class dry.

 

 

7-11-12  19 Warnings About A Coming Global Financial Catastrophe  http://albertpeia.com/19warningsofglobalcatastrophe.htm   ,  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  TWO-WAY ACTION AS FED MINUTES RELEASED 7-11-12 The FOMC Minutes were released at 2 PM and bulls were anxious to see some sign that a fresh round of QE was buried somewhere in the minutes. Apparently bulls didnt think the release a few weeks ago of more Operation Twist, the published language and the Bernanks press conference yielded enough clues. Anyway, bulls didnt like what was in the minutes and sold stocks almost immediately. But then clearer heads prevailed and the 2:15 Buy Program Express was engaged a few minutes late to save the day. So as they say in the Army: As you were and stocks returned to only slight losses.The U.S. Treasury completed a historical 10-year bond auction (IEF) Wednesday. The when issued security was trading at 1.51% at 1 PM but the result was 1.459%, a new record low. Whats the message here and who were the buyers? This is mattress money since even officially low inflation rate makes this yield negative with duration risk to boot.Spain initiates new taxes, public employee wage cuts and other austerity measures which bring out protests in Pamplona running of the bulls style. Almost comically, Finland which has wanted collateral for any new bailout money has stated that maybe theyll accept Spanish bank stock as collateral. Really? In other news the Washington Post no less points out that the eurozone will have to reduce and adjust its social contract forcing workers to retire later. For example, some countries like Italy provide 3 months of annual vacation which reduces the actual work years to 51.The dollar (UUP) was slightly higher and unusually gold (GLD) was slightly higher too. Combine gold, dollar and the bond auction and it spells fear. This is the environment were in and theres little that can be done given global political BS. Within the Fed minutes today was this item: business contacts say heightened uncertainty about future tax and regulatory policies put potential investment projects on hold". That little nugget says a lot about political gridlock, a lack of leadership and isnt being reported by the media. Also from the meeting was this quote: Several on the FOMC said the Fed should study new tools for easing. Whoever the several are is an admission that QE has been a long term failure only producing short-term results. And from our view it also promotes a serious misallocation of capital, screwing seniors and savers and creating an entire generation addicted to Fed crack. We still havent heard any fresh news about Peregrines theft of client money or much in the way of updates on MF Globals missing funds. So wheres Corzine? How come he isnt hounded like Madoff by the MSM? And then theres the LIEBOR thing which is just another scandal under the rug while bulls wait for another fix from the Fed.Crude oil (USO) prices rallied nearly 3% after supply data showed a bigger decline than expected. Financial (XLF) and energy (XLE) sectors rallied primarily due to rallies in a few banks like JP Morgan (JPM) and Bank of America (BAC) and a report that consumers have upped their usage of credit card accounts by 11% versus a year ago. Still MasterCard (MA) and Visa (V) were lower on the day.

And at the same time, consumers are re-leveraging, and government debt is soaring. And industrial production is barely above where it it was a decade ago, and far below its pre-2000 trend line. We have barely started, and already this has been a slow and grinding deleveraging; rather than the quick and brutal liquidation like that seen in 1907 where the banking system was effectively forced into bailing itself out, the stimulationist policies of low rates, quantitative easing and fiscal stimulus have kept in business zombie companies and institutions carrying absurd debt loads. Like Japan who experienced a similar debt-driven bubble in the late 80s and early 90s, we in the West appear to have embarked on a low-growth, high-unemployment period of deleveraging; and like Japan, we appear to be simply transferring the bulk of the debt load from the private sector to the public, without making any real impact in the total debt level, or any serious reduction in the debt-to-GDP ratio.   ,  "The Use Of Temps Is Outpacing Outright New Hirings By A 10-To-1 Ratio"  ,  Two And Twenty And Zero To Show For It As Hedge Funds Underperform The Stock Market  ,  The Seeds For An Even Bigger Crisis Have Been Sown   ,  Despite Low Volume Schizophrenia, S&P Extends Losses To 5th Day  ,  The "Contrarian" Permabull's Ultimate Guide To The Non-Zombie Economy  Presenting, with little comment, the ultimate arbiter of the truth - First Trust's Brian Wesbury - discussing his "Mark-to-Market accounting is to blame for it all; the economy is fine and is not reliant on Fed QE; 80,000 jobs creating; Facebook wealth-building" view of the non-zombie economy. So we presume: Forget China, ignore Europe, the fiscal-cliff is a molehill, and once the government stops spending/growing (which is his angle) then all will be well with this thoroughbred economy - as opposed to his non-zombie plough-horse (that unfortunately just leads us down a path of low/slow growth, labor force participation-lagging, deficit spending, social welfare dependent dysphoria).  ,  The Ever-Increasing Age Of Retirement  ,  Desperate Acts Of Government Continued - Europe Edition   ,  U.S. Gave Tens of Billions to Libor-Manipulating Banks ...

7-10-12  The EU in Recession, the US is Entering a Recession and China is Lying About Its Growth  http://albertpeia.com/euinrecessionusrecessionchinachinakissmyhina.htm   ,  Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   GYPSIES TRAMPS AND THIEVES 7-10-12  We started Tuesday on a more positive note as UK Factory Output surged 1.2% vs .1% expected. (Although, inside the numbers it was noted a holiday was moved from May to June. Remember, algos dont look too far under the hood.) Italy also posted better industrial output at .8% vs expected -.6%. (They must be forcing some to work now.) The Bank of Japan (BOJ) is increasing its asset purchases (QE) by another $200 billion from $680 billion. Not much the BOJ has done has brought much success to relieve its 20-year slump. Most arent aware that debt to GDP in Japan is now approaching 200%. Meanwhile, the worlds problem child, the eurozone saw the German high court assert they wont have a decision on the constitutionality of the EMS bailout facility for three months as noted in Der Spiegel. This throws a serious monkey wrench into bailout timeliness. Perhaps the joke of the day came from Spain which vowed that bailout money would be used for a deep clean-up of the financial sector. Another story from Bloomberg suggested the Fed knew all about the LIBOR bid fixing in 2007. Elsewhere Bob Diamond of Barclays was accused of being a liar.In other news, Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) Peregrine Financial is accused of another MF Global-like theft of customer funds to the tune of $200M. Oh, and about that MF Global deal: wheres Corzine and the financial media on this story? The 10-year U.S. Treasury bond (IEF) dropped to 1.49% Tuesday which indicates a risk off environment. Gold (GLD) fell sharply as the dollar (UUP) rallied once again. Commodities (DBC), (USO) and (JJC) overall were weak especially as the dollar rallied.Earnings warnings are dominant now as Applied Materials (AMAT) followed Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) with bellwether Cummins (CMI) and Mako Surgical (MAKO) also warning. So the beat goes on and its a wonder there is any buying whatsoever.Stocks which began the day higher started to breakdown after the German court announcement and fell further on the accumulation of amazingly crummy news.

But is there an even bigger destabilizing force of "cronyness" in America? According to the WSJ, there well may be: labor unions. Yes: those same entities that are so critical for Obama's reelection campaign that the president abrogated property rights and overturned the entire bankruptcy process in the case of GM and Chrysler, to benefit various forms of organized labor at the expense of evil, evil bondholders (represented on occasion by such even more evil entities as little old grandmas whose retirement money had been invested in GM bonds), appear to have a far greater impact in bribe-facilitated decision-making than previously thought.   ,   Equities Smash Back To Risk-Asset Reality  ,  Guest Post: Peak Employment  ‘…we have already passed Peak Employment and the downward trend will continue, perhaps disguised by increasingly more part time employment. ,  ECRI's Achuthan: "The US Is In Recession Already"  Lakshman Achuthan, co-founder of the Economic Cycle Research Institute, spoke with Bloomberg Televisions Tom Keene today and said that, "What we said back in December was that the most likely start date for the recession would be in Q1 and if not then, by the middle of 2012. Im here to reaffirm that. I think were in a recession already." And just like us, the anagrammatic ECRI economist believes that "It is not all about GDP. It is about jobs. It is about income and sales. A recession is a vicious interplay among output, input, employment, income and sales" noting that recessions don't generally start with a cliff (that everyone looks for) adding (rather ominously): "there is this belief that somehow government or a central bank will stave off a recession.

He did not say word one about the 2% Social Security tax break that has been on the books the past few years. What this means is that the FICA tax break is going to expire. When it does, every workers paycheck is going to get hit by 2%.In the 2012 Social Security Trust Fund report to Congress the Trustees estimated that total FICA (SS taxes) would amount to $733.4B in 2013. The 2% increase in FICA taxes in 2013 will increase workers tax load by $120B. Therefore the combined effect of extending the sub-250k tax cut and the increase in FICA comes to a paltry $30B.Even worse is the way in which the increase in FICA taxes will be felt by workers making $60K or less.

Things in the eurozone are still unsettled for lack of a better term. The EU was supposed to get everything ironed-out this week but right out of the gate Spain asked for and received an extension on its budget deficit due to the deteriorating economy. Bank of Japan apparently is ready to increase its QE (bond buying) efforts as the Bank of England has increased theirs. The Peoples Bank of China (PBOC) has joined the easing activities by lowering rates and of course the ECB has been at it for some time in the eurozone. SF Fed President John Williams in a speech today seemed friendly to increasing Fed QE (QE3) given the deterioration in the U.S. economy.At some point we enter uncharted waters since weve never experienced this amount of money printing without positive effect. After all can anyone really say its actually working or has worked? Liquidity injections by most evidence have had only ephemeral effects at least in boosting stock prices over the short-term. When then is pushing on a string finally going to be just that?Consumers took on $17 billion in new debt divided among credit cards, auto loans and student loans. This is either a good thing for the economy or not depending on your view. We know student loans are in a bubble and just today UBS downgraded Visa (V) and MasterCard (MA) to sell from neutral.Oil (USO) rose Monday as a strike in Norway has shut down most production. Meanwhile gold prices rallied slightly on thoughts of more QE and the dollar (UUP) also fell. Standout performers remain in the agricultural sector as weather is hurting crops which has seen (JJG) & (DBA) continue recent rallies. Bonds (IEF) & (MBB) continue along with higher prices also on QE hopes.Stocks bounced around most of the day mostly lower despite the obligatory end of day pump higher to minimize the damage. Stock market leader and heavyweight (AAPL) continues to be a leader. Its weighting and performance can mask underlying weakness throughout. Healthcare stocks continue to lead as a sector since Obamacare will provide HMOs in particular with a load of new customers.After the close, Alcoa (AA) was first of the major companies to report earnings. Estimates had been slashed 47% by most analysts making a beat easier and the company obliged once you could wade through all the adjustments. Earnings after adjustments came in at 6 cents vs 5 cents expected on revenues of $5.96 billion versus $5.8 billion estimated. Alcoa projected aluminum demand would grow 7% in 2012. The stock rose slightly in late trading as this is written.Also breaking late, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) preannounced 10 days ahead of earnings, cuts to Q2 revenue by 11%, where it had seen 3% rise previously.Volume was ridiculously light as traders were no doubt slow to return from the holiday week.

In fact, there was more negative guidance during the second quarter than any time in this cycle and Morgan Stanley, like us, believes these soft results and weaker guidance are not fully discounted into a QE-hungry market. Lower oil, a stronger dollar (e.g. a one-standard deviation appreciation in the US Dollar against a basket of currencies decreases expected S&P 500 earnings by 2.6%), lower 10-year yields and a preponderance of evidence of lighter growth from economically sensitive companies are reasons for a lower view of Q2 EPS than we previously expected as UBS notes the 'official' US Q2 reporting season kicks off in earnest today with Alcoa followed by over 3,000 global companies reporting in the next two months. At the sector and stock level UBS sees particular risk around some of the higher rated areas such as consumer staples and consumer discretionary, where relative multiples are high and expectations are demanding and while they see consensus estimates for 2012 global EPS growth have been falling - at 9.7%, they remain too high given the Eurozone crisis / policy response; deteriorating global macro data; and the corporate profit cycle - and in that order of importance.  ,  Scranton Mayor: Minimum Wage For All Or Become Stockton   ,  Two-Thirds Of Voters Say Obama Has Kept His Promise Of "Change", Although 56% Find He Has Changed It For The Worse   ,   The Perfect Storm - Santelli Meets Farage  The undisputed champion of European political ranting (UKIP's Nigel Farage) discussed the sad reality of Europe's inevitable demise with the reigning US chief of non-hype Rick Santelli in a no-holds-barred cage-match of like-minded skeptics. From Rajoy's incompetence to the 'genius of mutual indebtedness', Farage explains the problem is 'bedeviled with complexity' as, for example, the last summit left "the Finnish and Dutch finance ministers leaving with a very different perspective on what happened than the rest" and now even Merkel is arguing domestically what she has and has not agreed to. From the simple self-referential idiocy of Spain's EUR100 billion bailout - that creates vicious circles on all the peripheral 'bailing' nations; to "the same bundle of money going round and round in circles" leaving Nigel tempted to describe it as "a giant ponzi scheme"; Santelli, not to be outdone, explains how the US is just such a money-circulating ponzi scheme as "one part of the government issues debt as another part is buying". The ECB, of course, is becoming plagued with more and more of the ponzi-like peripheral paper and as Farage notes "the day Greece leaves the Euro - and it will - the ECB is left with a massive paper loss" leaving the ECB under-capitalized - which in all its wonderful craziness means "it has to go and get fresh capital from the other countries that themselves have been bailed out and are in fact in trouble".

Obama administration repeats same jobs line — for the 30th month

Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   VOLATILE HOLIDAY WEEK 7-6-12 The vacation and volume reduced week was anything but peaceful. All things considered, the roller coaster ride continues. Fridays employment report induced sell-off was interesting given two things: either a plea for more QE now or just a confirmation of descending economic conditions. As to the former, the Bank of England is engaging in more QE with little in the way of positive impact. Therefore, perhaps more QE from the Fed may have little impact beyond an initial cheer. After all, 2.5 swings at the problem havent helped at all. China was cutting interest rates this week and so too was European Central Bank (ECB). And, hows that going? Not so well.Economic data beyond a poor employment report (80K jobs vs 90K expected & the unemployment rate remained @ 8.2%). The underemployment rate increased slightly (14.9$ vs 14.8% previous) indicates more people out of work. Further most new jobs were for part-time help. Early in the week the all important ISM Mfg Data cratered (49.7 vs 53.5 previous) meaning the economy is weakening rapidly.Bailout success in the eurozone has once again become unfixed as squabbling over restructuring and extensions are the order of the day and week. Meanwhile as Spanish yields soared once again most citizens would rather focus on the running of the bulls in Pamplonaout of sight, out of mind.Earnings will start rolling out next week and weve seen estimates being rapidly reduced by analysts perhaps cynically allowing for some beats.The bottom line in the U.S. and globally is conditions are deteriorating and for most just suck.U.S. stocks for the week were only slightly lower dependent on the major index viewed. As the DJIA (DIA) was hitting its 50 day moving average a story appeared in the WSJ indicating the Fed is contemplating and deliberating more QE. That leak led to some late day buying. Leading U.S. sectors remain REITS (IYR), homebuilders (ITB) and biotechnology (XBI). Bonds (IEF) continued to rally as did the dollar (UUP) against the euro (FXE) and Swiss Franc (FXF). The Swiss for example are fighting furiously to maintain the recent peg to the euro as inflows there continue mostly from southern European countries. Commodity prices (USO), (DBC), (GLD), and (JJC) fell as the dollars strength knocked prices lower.Given the holiday and half day trading Tuesday volume overall remains light.

7-5,3-12 The Biggest Financial Scandal In History?  http://albertpeia.com/anotherbiggestfinancialscandal.htm   We always knew that the financial markets were rigged, but this is getting ridiculous.  It is now being alleged that 20 major banks have been systematically fixing global interest rates for years.  Barclays has already been fined hundreds of millions of dollars for manipulating Libor (the London Inter Bank Offered Rate).  But Barclays says that a whole bunch of other banks were doing this too.  This is shaping up to be the biggest financial scandal in history, and criminal investigations have been launched on both sides of the Atlantic.  What those investigations are likely to uncover could shake the financial markets to their very core.  In the end, this scandal could absolutely devastate confidence in the global financial system and it could potentially bring down a number of major global banks.  We have never seen anything quite like this before.

What Is Libor?

As mentioned before, Libor is the London Inter Bank Offered Rate.  A recent Washington Post article contained a pretty good explanation of what that means....

In the simplest terms, LIBOR is the average interest rate which banks in London are charging each other for borrowing. Its calculated by Thomson Reuters  the parent company of the Reuters news agency  for the British Banking Association (BBA), a trade association of banks and financial services companies.

Why Does Libor Matter?

If you have a mortgage, a car loan or a credit card, then there is a very good chance that Libor has affected your personal finances.  Libor has been a factor in the pricing of hundreds of trillions of dollars of loans, securities and assets.  The following is from a recent article by Maureen Farrell....

These traders influenced the pricing of the London Interbank Offered Rate or Libor, a benchmark that dictates the pricing of up to $800 trillion of securities (yes trillion)…’

 

Equities Fumble As Broke Banks Mounting  ZeroHedge.com  Tyler Durden 7-5-12  ,  Thunder Road Report On The Death March: Approaching A New Financial System  ,  The Next Imminent Bailout: Eminent Domain  It seems that governmental efforts to save the underwater and ineligible homeowner from his own fate are reaching fever pitch. Not only do we hear today of the up to $300mm in Agriculture Department Rural Housing Service loans that may have financed ineligible projects or borrowers with a high potential inability to repay the loans; but yesterday's WSJ reports on the growing call for 'eminent-domain' powers to be used by local government officials in California to stop the "housing bust's public blight on their city". In yet another get-out-of-jail-free card, the officials (helped by a friendly local hedge-fund / mortgage-provider) want to use the government's ability to forcibly acquire property to remove underwater homes, restructure the mortgage (cut principal), and hand back the home to the previously unable to pay dilemma-ridden homeowner. As PIMCO's Scott Simon puts it: "I don't see how you could find it anything other than appalling", as this would crush property prices further and drive up borrowing costs. As we noted earlier, until these mal-investments are marked to market, there will be no useful growth in our credit-bound economy but transferring wealth to the 'mal'-investor seems like a terrible idea.  ,  80% Of The World's Industrial Activity Is Now Contracting  ,  Guest Post: Guess Whos Bailing Out Bankrupt Western Governments Now...  Fourteen years ago during the Asian financial crisis, Indonesia endured a currency collapse, a severe 2-year recession, and an embarrassing IMF bailout. Western bureaucrats wagged their fingers incessantly at Indonesia, lecturing the country about the dangers of excess and fiscal irresponsibility. How sweet the irony is. In a stunning rags-to-riches story, Indonesia contributed US$1 billion to the IMF last week in order to help bail out bankrupt Western nations. Unlike Japan, the US, and Europe which all seem to think the answer to an economic bust brought on by a debt-binge is to borrow and spend even more money Indonesia took its medicine when its economy collapsed back in 1998. Ironically, US President Barack Obama spent some of his childhood in this same suburb of Jakarta. Unfortunately, as he pulls out all stops to cling to power for a second term, the kind of tough decisions that could help the US emerge from its economic malaise have no chance of being made. Its the ENTIRE system thats the problem. And that goes for nearly every Western, free market, democracy out there.

 

 

7-2-12  Kicking The Can Down The Road   http://albertpeia.com/kicksinthecandowntheroad.htm   Has Europe finally been saved this time?  Has this latest "breakthrough" solved the European debt crisis?  Of course not, and you should know better by now.  European leaders have held 18 summits since the beginning of the debt crisis.  After most of the preceding summits, global financial markets responded with joy because European leaders had reached "a deal" which would supposedly solve the crisis.  But a few weeks after each summit it would become clear that nothing had been solved and that the financial crisis had actually gotten even worse than before.  How many times do they expect us to fall for the same sorry routine?  Nothing in Europe has been solved.  You can't solve a debt problem with more debt.  European leaders are just kicking the can down the road…’  ,   12 Incredible Obamacare Quotes That Show That Our Wretched Healthcare System Is Headed Directly Into The Toilet     http://albertpeia.com/americanhealthcaretoilet.htm   You might as well stick a fork in the U.S. healthcare system because it is finished.  Even before Obamacare, Americans paid far more for healthcare than anyone else in the world.  Now thanks to Obamacare we will be faced with much higher health insurance premiums, much higher taxes, much longer waits to see doctors and more government bureaucrats involved in our lives than ever before.  As I have written about previously, the U.S. healthcare industry is a horrible mess, and now Obamacare is going to take the entire system directly into the toilet.  All over America today, families are going broke because of outrageous health insurance costs and suffocating medical debt, doctors are going broke and leaving the profession because they can't make a living, and sick people are dying because they cannot get the care that they need.  So what solution does Obama give us?  A nearly 3,000 page monstrosity that will destroy what is left of our crumbling healthcare system and that will unleash 16,000 new IRS agents to hunt down the millions of Americans that do not currently have health insurance.  For those that love Big Brother socialist totalitarianism, Obamacare is a dream come true.  For the rest of us it is a total nightmare.  ,  If One Storm Can Turn D.C.

As Citi's FX team note, the IIP measures foreign investment assets minus native assets owned by foreigners. In the US, the IIP has been negative (meaning the US is a debtor nation) since 1985. The USs IIP deficit reached USD 4.03trn in 2012, up sharply from 2.47trn in 2011. As a share of nominal GDP, the IIP deficit reached a record (for the US) of -27%.  Commonly accepted wisdom based on a combination of models and experience is that an IIP bigger than +30% of GDP or smaller than -30% is a problem. On the IIP surplus side, having too big of a net creditor position leads to a perennially strengthening currency that chokes out industry and stokes deflation (think JPY). On the IIP deficit side, having too big of a net debtor position leads to a debt spiral. High debt leads to reluctant external creditors charging ever high interest rates, which leads to economic stagnation and ultimately crisis. The US may not be able to run another dozen years of 3-6% current account deficits without starting to look like a ponzi scheme - but while risk aversion flows (and rates) suggest there is little to worry about, we have noted again and again the moves behind the scenes in global trade flows to shift away from the world's current numeraire.  ,  The Dark (Pool) Truth About What Really Goes On In The Stock Market: Part 2  ‘…researched what was going wrong at Trading Machines.

Today's update to the June GLI data suggests things got worse and not better as momentum is now also dropping as well as the absolute level. This continued deterioration in momentum suggests further softening in the global cyclical picture. Of particular concern is the broad-based deterioration in the GLIs constituent components in June. Nine of ten components weakened last month, only the second time this has occurred since the depths of the recession in 2008Q4. The June Final GLI confirms the pronounced weakening in global activity in recent months. Goldman has found elsewhere (as we noted here) that this stage of the cycle, when momentum is negative and decelerating, is typically accompanied by deteriorating data and market weakness.  ,    Big Banks Have Criminally Conspired Since 2005 to Rig $800 Trillion Dollar Market Posted by : George Washington Post date: 07/01/2012 - 21:40 But Receive Only a Light Slap on the Wrist   ,  77% of JP Morgans Net Income Comes from Government Subsidies Posted by: George Washington Post date: 07/01/2012 - 15:44 JP Morgan Sucks at the Government Teat   ,  Sorry Folks, Spain Isnt Saved And The Next Leg Down is Coming Soon  /  The Exact Moment Greece Will Leave the Euro    gpc1981     http://albertpeia.com/greeceyspainpain.htm  ,  Chief Justice John Roberts Bowed To Political Pressure And Changed His Vote On Obamacare  http://albertpeia.com/nolegalsystem.htm   { The unfortunate reality is what Ive alluded to in the context of my own direct experience; viz., americas legal system is an illegal system used to cover-up crimes, arbitrarily enforce laws to apply pressure, etc., and essentially run by the inmates of this collective criminal entity called america: http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf

[ Wobama is so pathetic! Sure, sacrifice for the grifter wobamas so they can continue livin’ large on the taxpayer dime while accomplishing nothing except greater public debt to hide his failure. This from the record holder for fundraisers, 151 and counting. Then there’s the 100 plus rounds of golf in addition to being famously over-vacationed while in office. It’s laughable to hear him blame congress for his lack of accomplishments when the reality is that he ‘really wasn’t there’ for any of it. For wobama the presidency is just endless debate, rhetoric, campaigning, vacationing, soundbites from the teleprompted speeches, jive-talk, b***s***, and ‘choom fantasy’. He’s a total fraud and failure and anyone who buys into election-year desperation / promises, etc., is just a fool of the worst kind!   AP: ‘…
THE FACTS: Five Senate Democrats voted against sending the DREAM Act to the Senate floor for full consideration. The bill would have created a path to citizenship for many young illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children. Last week, Obama announced plans to stop deporting illegal immigrants who would have qualified for the DREAM Act. The policy change does not include a path to citizenship…’ Then there’s the other meretricious ‘wobama desperation hail mary’ that once again falls short. Indeed, as an investor, one analyzes earnings, projects prospective earnings over a 3-5 year horizon, and the quality of the earnings along macro economic factors which are affected by ‘political considerations’. Does anyone remember the honorable Ross Perot who warned of NAFTA’s effect on american jobs even as the democrat administration et als were hell-bent on passing same? Should Romney have breached his legal duty to shareholders and invested in companies with poor earnings prospects? After all, in the financial / security analysis step of projecting the income statement, prospective labor costs figure prominently in the bottomline. In sum, Romney took conditions as he found them, and made the prudent choices which as per his legal duty were optimal for those who put their trust in him. For those who put their trust in proven failure wobama, all they have to show for such misplaced trust are broken campaign promises, now insurmountable record deficit spending exceeding all the presidents since Eisenhower combined to obfuscate what clearly has been wobama’s unequivocal failure. ]

Gallup which constantly pools 30,000 people on a weekly basis, has found that for the past 4 weeks, both underemployment and unemployment have risen for 4 weeks in a row. And while the number of US workers "working part time and wanting full-time work" one of the traditional short cuts to boosting US jobs has risen to almost a 2 year high, it is the Job Creation Index in December which plunged in the last week, confirming that the Initial Claims data out of the BLS has been spurious and is likely to revert back over 400k on short notice. In summary, here is how Gallup debunks the BLS' propganda…’, A Quick And Dirty Look At Japan's Nearly Ą1 Quadrillion In Debt ,  Santa Claus Is Not Coming to Town, Says Technical Analyst (Bartels/Merrill Lynch) The Wall Street Journal  Gongloff ‘…Last week the S&P 500 fell below its 50-day moving average, which is the new level to watch — 1228. A failure to move above and hold the 50-day moving average confirms to us that we have already begun to enter the phase of testing the October lows near 1100-1074.This pattern is becoming eerily similar to 2008 into 2009. A base building process has been underway since August but we have maintained the belief that the lows still need to be tested and undercuts to 985-935 are possible (50% probability) as part of this process…’  , When "Positive Surprises" Are Surprisingly Meaningless’ http://hussmanfunds.com/wmc/wmc111219.htm   December 19, 2011 John P. Hussman, Ph.D ‘... As economist John Williams observes, "starting in October, a divergence developed: Whereas year-to-year change in BLS estimated payroll earnings continued at a more-or-less constant, positive level, tax receipts fell quite markedly. Where the Treasury numbers reflect full reporting, the BLS data are sampled, heavily modeled and usually heavily revised. The implication is that the BLS has overstated average earnings and payrolls meaningfully in recent months."… An important point here is that almost no current investors have experienced this more typical 1970's-type market setback. When one of these old fashioned but typical declines occurs, professional investors, conditioned by our more recent ephemeral bear markets, will have a permanent built-in expectation of an imminent recovery that will not come. "For the record, Exhibit 1 shows what the S&P 500 might look like from today if it followed the average flight path of the 10 burst bubbles described above. Not very pretty." http://hussmanfunds.com/wmc/wmc111219c.jpg  We can't disagree, though I also believe there still remains some short-run ability of policymakers to distort market forces, to badly misallocate capital in the process, and to wreck the economy more thoroughly in the long-run… FACING A GLOBAL ECONOMIC DOWNTURN In the past few months, our own measures of economic risk have remained persistently unfavorable.. The OECD publishes its own set of leading economic indicators on developed and developing countries. Notably, we've never observed deterioration to the extent that we presently observe, except when the U.S. was in or entering a recession. http://hussmanfunds.com/wmc/wmc111219d.gif …’ , Psssst France: Here Is Why You May Want To Cool It With The Britain Bashing - The UK's 950% Debt To GDP  While certainly humorous, entertaining and very, very childish, the recent war of words between France and Britain has the potential to become the worst thing to ever happen to Europe. Actually, make that the world and modern civilization. Why? Because while we sympathize with England, and are stunned by the immature petulant response from France and its head banker Christian Noyer to the threat of an imminent S&P downgrade of its overblown AAA rating, the truth is that France is actually 100% correct in telling the world to shift its attention from France and to Britain. So why is this bad. Because as the chart below shows, if there is anything the global financial system needs, is for the rating agencies, bond vigilantes, and lastly, general public itself, to realize that the UK's consolidated debt (non-financial, financial, government and household) to GDP is... just under 1000%. That's right: the UK debt, when one adds to its more tenable sovereign debt tranche all the other debt carried on UK books (and thus making the transfer of private debt to the public balance sheet impossible), is nearly ten times greater than the country's GDP…’ , Goldman's Take On TARGET2 And How The Bundesbank Will Suffer Massive Losses If The Eurozone Fails Two weeks ago in "Has The Imploding European Shadow Banking System Forced The Bundesbank To Prepare For Plan B?" we suggested that according to recent fund flow data, "the Bundesbank wants slowly and quietly out." , The MF Global Trade Is Not Coming To (European) Town - Why The ECB's 3 Year LTRO Is The Latest Bailout FlopOn Friday, as the Eurobond market was briefly soaring, we attributed the move to sentiment that was best captured by a note out of Morgan Stanley's govvie desk: "The carry trade is happening, there is no doubt about it…, Things That Make You Go Hmmm - Such As Europe's "Comprehensive Solution" Five months ago, Zero Hedge first boiled down the math of the European bailout as follows: "The Fatal Flaw In Europe's Second "Bazooka" Bailout: 82 Million Soon To Be Very Angry Germans, Or How Euro Bailout #2 Could Cost Up To 56% Of German GDP." ,  Guest Post: America’s Iraq Experience: Invasi-Eradicavi-Turbavi  Julius Caesar undoubtedly was showing off with his Veni-Vidi-Vici (I came, I saw, I conquered) when referencing to his short war outside Zela (Zile) in Turkey over two millennia ago.  Similarly, if we were to use a short catchy-comment for the almost nine years America has invested in its “Iraq Mission,” we would be on target by condensing the US experience in also three Latin words, although not as melodic this time: Invasi-Eradicavi-Turbavi which sadly stand for, I invaded, I destroyed and I threw-into-chaos. No matter what the Pentagon and White House tell us, the fiasco in Iraq likely stands as the most costly mistake in America’s history, a true Keystone Kops type of political dark comedy.  And it wasn’t a bad or flawed decision by a singular moron or group of morons – Bush the Younger, Sadist Cheney and Loquacious Rumsfeld composing the original warpath triumvirate, together with two dozen equally deranged staff of their inner circles.  Unfortunately, this time Congress, together with a brainwashed public, closed rank with an evil and criminal White House.  So, whether the American citizenry likes it or not… the Iraq conflict wasn’t just Bush’s war, but “the peoples’ war,” a war with a dangerous aftermath yet to come, one we’ll likely be paying for in the future with additional blood and treasure. , Newspaper Chaired By Private Equity Head Shockingly Endorses Mitt Romney For President; Ron Paul On Jay Leno   A few hours ago the Des Moines Register threw its support behind the Bain Capital founder, and the man now known to have actively destroyed any trace of his public "service" before his 2007 Massachusettes office handover (with a pending response to a Reuters FOIA, which will disclose just what it was that Romney was so tenuously shredding)… , Graham Summers’ Weekly Market Forecast (Deflation’s Back Edition)  http://gainspainscapital.com December 19th, 2011 The markets have entered a new round of deflation.

Misdiagnoses and inadequate policy responses allowed the contamination to travel sequentially from the outer reaches of the zone (Greece, Ireland, and Portugal) toward its inner core.In this first of three morphings in 2011, Italy and Spain were disrupted as interest rates soared, turning liquidity concerns into solvency ones. France was then impacted, with its AAA rating threatened by its exposure to the neighborhood’s problems. Then Germany, Europe’s strongest economy and the one that everyone looks to for a solution, had to contend with the embarrassing failure of a highly visible government debt auction. …These are consequential developments whose impact will be felt for years, and the latter is not limited to Europe.

We rallied initially on better economic data (below) but there’s a dark cloud over the market and quadwitching is ahead Friday. Adding to the uncertainty was influential Goldman Sachs strategist Jan Hatzius who commented: "A reduction in the lending of foreign banks to U.S. counterparties could have a meaningful impact on U.S. growth." He continued to assert that ongoing upheavals in the eurozone could shave 1% off U.S. GDP growth which frankly would put is in or near recession. And, per Hatzius, Goldman Sachs estimates U.S. banks are exposed to (gulp!) $1.8 trillion of counterparty risk from euro banks. Funny thing Bernanke and Geithner didn’t mention this to us. Further, the OECD warned that 2012 will see a potential funding crisis for developed countries with (cough!) $10.5 trillion in borrowing needs.Economic news was positive as Jobless Claims were lower at 366K; however, inside the numbers things were somewhat worse.

While much has been said about the vagaries in the European repo market elsewhere, the truth is that the intraday variations of assorted daily metrics thereof indicate three simple things: a scarcity of quality assets that can be pledged at various monetary institutions in exchange for cash or synthetic cash equivalents, a resulting lock up in interbank liquidity, and above all, a gradual freeze of the shadow banking system..we may be experiencing the attempt by the last safe European central bank - Buba - to disintermediate itself from the slow motion trainwreck that is the European shadow banking (first) and then traditional banking collapse (second and last).

What we find here is rather different from what the BLS, and the administration would like us to believe, namely that "underemployment, a measure that combines the percentage of workers who are unemployed with the percentage working part time but wanting full-time work, is 18.1% in November, as measured by Gallup without seasonal adjustment. That is up from 17.8% a month ago and 17.2% a year ago."

Goldman's involvement in Solyndra, and its lofty valuation projections, lent credibility to the company and helped rouse investor interest and it was this private interest that was cited by DoE officials as a considerable factor in its loan guarantee program.

But, we’re long so I shouldn’t complain too much even though emotionally there isn’t much to like overall. The only bullish thing is the action of the tape and this is the season when bulls can make their year. Speaking of HFTs and algos, HFT issues are thoroughly covered with HFT Alert founder Steve Hammer and myself in the video interview below. The presentation contains two parts: the first outlines HFT basics—how they work and their controversial impact on financial markets. The second part we discuss how traders can benefit or make money by using HFT Alert’s unique trading services. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NzfmT4vGXZY [ ‘Off to the golf course’, indeed. Those are Mr. Hammer’s concluding remarks. Not because he’s a trader, but because he’s selling this ‘very functional in terms of what’s going on’ package. The truth is that even today, at lightning speeds, there are very few successful traders (as distinguished from investors, and there is a huge distinction, though much less so today)(over the longer term and is akin to the apposite old adage, ‘you can win a race but you can’t win at the races’). Indeed, some companies / brokerages employ them just for the volume / commissions they produce. Most telling, in this video, is the beginning wherein it’s explained that in literally a second(s), mere quotes can give rise to revenue (as with commissions, pieces of the action) which has to come from someplace. The problem is that ultimately, this ‘churn-and-action’ computer programmed action at ‘lightning speed’ is parasitic inasmuch as it is without any economic utility whatsoever in real economic terms as are commissions in ‘after-market stock trading’ (as distinguished from initial ipo’s) that are tantamount to a tax on the real economy; hence, the benefit to the frauds on wall street at the expense of and to the detriment of main street, taxpayers, and the populace in general, as we’ve seen and continue to see. Remember, there is no modern day alchemy that spins worthless paper into gold except fraudulently for the frauds on wall street who’ve literally oftimes done exactly that; ‘cashing out’ for hard currency and gold, precious metals, at everyone else’s expense including main street. They’re just not that important and represent, like termites eating away at the nation’s foundation, a drag on the economy, the nation as one would expect from parasites such as they are’. What to Expect Next From the Markets Minyanville  Jeffrey Cooper ‘Conclusion: It looks like a program was run using the least amount of dollars to goose the indices by focusing on some big cap names like Apple, Amazon, Baidu, IBM, and Caterpillar { Dave’s Daily:’.. The HAL 9000s have been doing business as HFTs (High Frequency Traders) launching many buy or sell programs using complex algorithms which can drive prices on indexes higher or lower in dramatic fashion.

There’s plenty to mock in this world, and Greece is hardly the nation to be doing the mocking. I think it’s the markets that are mocking the rest of the world’s stupidity for buying into this false reality / obfuscation / fraud, particularly by way of the now pervasive worldwide acceptance of the american strategy of currency debasement which really is a fraud facilitator because it masks to all but the intelligent few the underlying economic weakness and decline. A simplistic example, though not perfect, is apropos here: a company sells a product for 1 dollar which costs 1 dollar to make (assuming arguendo to cover fixed expenses - no profit). The fed over-printing / creating dollars like mad to the point where it now takes 2 dollars to render the same purchasing power of  1 dollar when the goods were produced. The company sells the products for 2 dollars (the previous equivalent of 1 dollar before debasement). The company is now showing earnings 1 dollar per unit sold, yet in real terms, they’ve gotten no more than the equivalent of that 1 dollar per unit. (If you’ve been to the grocery store lately, particularly the last 1-2 months, I’ve found meats, etc., to be up 50-100%, etc.). The same obfuscating manipulations are applicable to assets generally, and to those pieces of paper called stocks which are even ‘worse for the wear’ since churn-and-earn commissions at lightning computerized speed are being subtracted from this illusory ‘enhanced value’ which in reality doesn’t exist at all. ( Such manipulations from currency translation also provide ‘arbitrage opportunities’ though similarly largely ultimately subtracted from no real value being created. ) This is why fraudulent wall street loves the fed’s QE’s and dollar debasement / over-printing / creating and also why it’s been a dismal failure and a net negative in real economic terms as seen on main street and in the decimation of the middle class and growing ranks of the poor. In the analysis of securities, this would be considered ‘the quality of earnings factor’ that goes into the assignment of a p/e multiple to the projected earnings. Sufficeth to say, this is no longer done on wall street in any real or legitimate fashion, if at all. Indeed, it’s a fair statement to say that security analysis is no longer a ‘practice’ as same was considered, once upon a time, by value investors / analysts. As set forth by Dave and Cooper, infra, computerized programmed manipulation at lightning speed has been expedient in the short run for the wall street frauds but ultimately leads to the inevitable crash since as I often reiterate: Remember, there is no modern day alchemy that spins worthless paper into gold except fraudulently for the frauds on wall street who’ve literally oftimes done exactly that; ‘cashing out’ for hard currency and gold, precious metals, at everyone else’s expense including main street. They’re just not that important and represent, like termites eating away at the nation’s foundation, a drag on the economy, the nation as one would expect from parasites such as they are’.

Art Cashin On The Most Important History Lesson Of The Last Century Oct 13th, 2011 08:40 by News  ZeroHedge) Today, instead of the traditional market observations by the Chairman of the Fermentation Committee, we share with readers a critical historical lesson from Art Cashin, focusing on an event that took place 89 years ago, which as Cashin says one of the most devastating economic events in recorded history and an important backdrop to Europe today. It all began with the efforts of a few, well intentioned government officials. Many will know what we are talking about alreadyOriginally, on this day (-2) in 1922, the German Central Bank and the German Treasury took an inevitable step in a process which had begun with their previous effort to jump start a stagnant economy. Many months earlier they had decided that what was needed was easier money. Their initial efforts brought little response. So, using the governmental more is better theory they simply created more and more money. But economic stagnation continued and so did the money growth. They kept making money more available. No reaction. Then, suddenly prices began to explode unbelievably (but, perversely, not business activity).[source] PG View: The hyperinflation of the Weimar Republic is unquestionably Germanys defining economic moment, much like the Great Depression is ours. It goes a long way toward explaining why Germany continues to balk at further bailouts, leveraging, bond buying and expansive liquidity measures; they understandably fear the inflation. Keynsian thinking says governments should be printing and spending like mad in the face of grim growth prospects and an impending banking crisis, but Germans recall all-to readily that when über-easy monetary policy gets out of control, things can go from bad to catastrophic in a heartbeat. Cashins piece is indeed an important history lesson we all should take heed of. For further insight into the Weimar hyperinflation, be sure to read The Nightmare German Inflation. Previous:The latest b***s*** story into the close is rich, but not as in wealthy. One interviewee / pundit even preposterously referred to the Marco Polo effect, viz., that communist Chinas rumored to be about to save one of the PIIGS, italy but whos going to save communist china really some very bad karma for communist china just round the corner! Dont forget, the markets rallied literally many hundreds of points owing to that spin / b***s*** called the euro solution, etc., which of course, never existed in reality, but great fraud points (that computerized hf commissioned churn-and-earn, up and down, get you now and get you later). Then the so-called technical support levels based on much worse than spun fundamentals / reality. Its the other way around, fools fundamentals create technical support levels, not vice versa.

Obama's Legacy: A Failed Recovery & Double-Dip Recession  Forbes / Mariotti  ‘…There will be no significant recovery in the United States of America while Barack Obama is President.  The evidence is overwhelming:  everything Obama has tried to fuel a recovery (with his Democratic allies in Congress) has failed.  Statistics claiming jobs saved by the stimulus package were mostly fiction, and cost American taxpayers about $275,000 each.  Nearly 2-1/2 million fewer Americans have jobs than before the stimulus. Barack Obama has been President for 30 months2-1/2 years. He spent the first year obsessed with passing Obamacare, a program that doesnt create jobs, but might destroy a lot of them.  He bailed out GM, but many believe that his interference didnt save GM; it merely cost taxpayers an extra $15-20 billion, and stole from legitimate investors to buy off the UAW.  His broken campaign promises are too numerous to list.  At some point, his statute of limitations on blaming Bush runs out…’   ,   The Bear Market Rally Has Begun at Minyanville   Toby Connor Aug 30, 2011 ‘…Investors need to be prepared.

And like all bear markets it will be subject to violent countertrend rallies that toy with traders' emotions, and ultimately cause investors to ride the bear all the way to the bottom…’    Scandal scarred commerce dept. report on consumer spending with anemic income figures (typically as always unworthy of belief as unbelievable anything the government says in their desperation) spurs suckers rally (along with some short covering) to suck suckers in and keep suckers sucked in.  Massive Understatement: Mohamed El-Erians reply to Frank Motek 1070am regarding particularly the 300+ point swing to the upside today, (theyre) confused! Indeed they are! But when youre commissioning those manipulated computer programmed high-frequency-trade swings, churning and earning at lightning speed, such euphemistic criticism falls short with the impact of water off a ducks back.      Moreover, how pathetic are they, those Pavlov dogs on wall street salivating at the mere prospect of a QE handout ultimately at taxpayer expense, in one form or another. Even more pathetic is the so-called rally based on a purported rethink of fedspeak alleged  to be so filled with latent / hidden meaning of a form of QE welfare down the road. Those pathetic titans of capitalism; aka, the frauds of wall street.  Never mind that the QEs have failed miserably and at great costs (inflation, financial, economic, etc.) and detriment to all but the frauds on wall street by way of their manipulated computer-programmed ( high frequency trading) commissioned churn-and-earn. Wall streets rise has been among the causes of and comcomitant to americas decline / demise. Remember, there is no modern day alchemy that spins worthless paper into gold except fraudulently for the frauds on wall street whove literally oftimes done exactly that; cashing out for hard currency and gold, precious metals, at everyone elses expense including main street. Theyre just not that important and represent, like termites eating away at the nations foundation, a drag on the economy, the nation as one would expect from parasites such as they are. So whats changed of significance? Nothing! Absolutely nothing; yet a manipulated computer-programmed ( high frequency trading bots ) churn-and-earn suckers rally based on desperation, bad news, fraud and b***s*** alone to suck suckers in and keep suckers sucked in.

Analyst Dick Bove at Rochdale Securities says he knows why: More restrictive capital requirements and near-zero interest rates set at the Federal Reserve [cnbc explains] that make lending neither easy nor lucrative, a trend that will make it difficult for the economy to grow. “If one thinks through these limitations it can be seen that banks must shrink their balance sheets and change their business patterns to maintain their profits. What they are unlikely to do is to expand their lending activities in order to grow the economy,” Bove wrote in a lengthy banking analysis Thursday.“However, the Federal Reserve is suggesting that the economy is unlikely to grow,” he wrote. “If the Fed is prescient, then banks are facing higher loan losses, lower loan volume, and reduced margins on a wide array of banking products. The outlook is not appealing.”“Even though the United States is able to both print and borrow money, it is as bankrupt as the Europeans,” Bove wrote. “Covering deficits and paying debt with borrowed funds, some of which is newly printed, does not constitute meeting debt service requirements.”…’

Take A Lesson From 2007 And Sell Stocks Now at Forbes, Sean Hanlon August has given new meaning to the dog days of summer as the broad equity market has retracted all year-to-date gains and dropped into negative territory, all within the first couple weeks.

As written in my previous Market Commentary on July 20, our research uncovered potentially dangerous activity in the equity markets that could lead to a break and high volatility.  We presented this in that Market Commentary by the chart in Figure 1 below.  Using our proprietary research methodologies, we elected to make a major tactical move on June 17.

That move reduced all equity and high-yield bond exposure, creating 50% cash or cash equivalent allocations across all portfolios. This defensive move was shown to be prudent as volatility erupted and considerable downside was experienced in equity markets in the first week of August, as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 1 (click image to enlarge.)

http://blogs-images.forbes.com/advisor/files/2011/08/11.jpg

With this heightened volatility, we were observant that this market behavior was eerily similar to market conditions in 2007. To elaborate on this point, lets compare the S&P 500 Index for 2007 vs. the first seven months of 2011.  As you can see below in Figure 2, 2007 experienced high volatility yet remained range-bound in an upward trend (represented by the overlaid black bands).

Figure 2 (click image to enlarge.)

http://blogs-images.forbes.com/advisor/files/2011/08/2.jpg

 

The first half of 2011 maintained a range-bound upward trend until finally breaking sharply to the downside in the first week of August.

Of course now everyone wants to know what happens next?  Our research has no special predictive power of what may happen now that the trend has been broken. Instead, what our research is telling us is to remain extremely cautious at this time.  We have since moved client portfolios to almost 100% money markets and/or cash equivalents in all accounts.  We do maintain some high quality bond positions.

You may think But I cant make any money in money markets, they pay nothing these days!  True enough, but there are many times in ones investing lifetime where the best investment is to simply maintain principal.  That principal amount will be able to potentially purchase more in the not too distant future.

A simple example is stocks.  On April 29 of this year, $1,340 purchased the equivalent of one S&P 500 Index share.  Today, to own those same companies that make up the S&P 500 Index, the cost is below $1,200, yet the same amount of dividends is being received.  In this period preserving principal has resulted in increased investment purchasing power, income and potentially increased return.

Guest Post: Counterfeit Money, Counterfeit PolicyCounterfeiting is illegal because it is the false creation of value. The counterfeiter takes low-value paper and turns it into high-value money, which is fundamentally a claim on the real productive value of the economy that issues the currency and recognizes it as a proxy means of exchanging that productive value. Counterfeiting is illegal because the counterfeiter creates no additional value--he creates only the proxy for value. Creating real value--adding meaningful goods or services to the economy--is tedious, hard work. How much easier to simply transform near-worthless paper into a claim on actual goods and services.  If this is illegal, then would somebody please arrest the Board of the Federal Reserve for counterfeiting? The Fed has blatantly printed money without creating any real value to back up their added claims on productive value. Hence they are counterfeiting, pure and simple. A government based on rule of law would arrest these fraudsters and cons at the earliest possible convenience.

GOP: Ruling will hurt swing-state Dems in November { This may seem somewhat counterintuitive and a bit of a rationalization; but, it is absolutely true. So true in fact, that wobama will come to be compared to Pyrrhus of Ephyrus (W. Greece) since realization of what this legislation won’t do for americans and the economy and what it actually does will not have the galvanizing effect that striking the bill down would have had on voters who were thinking ‘another free lunch from the government’ will save them (we all now know better, no such thing). Yes, in somewhat European tradition, defacto bankrupt america is keeping up with the (ie., rating agencies Egan) Joneses. After all, we all know how well this European program model is working out for Europe (and any other nation that’s tried it). In the final analysis, this and such programs as the contraindicated bailouts for the unprosecuted frauds on wall street, etc., will prove to be the ‘camel-back breaking’ moment for america; and, a pyrrhic victory for the egregiously failed president wobama.  America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke. There are signs everywhere one looks…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion }

Roberts answer, Robert Jackson, intrigued and reassured Rove. When appointed in 1941, Jackson was serving as Franklin Roosevelts attorney general and had been expected to be a pro-New Deal rubber-stamp on the court…’ {  Id say that, like wobama, Roberts on an attention-starved court of meaningfully lawless rules in a meaningfully lawless nation was just looking for a legacy to hang a hat on!  So, while were all getting greeked, lets get really greecey and immerse ourselves in greek lore and in potus and scotus being the modern day equivalents of scylla and charybdis.  }

After that will come Japan, then finally the US. By the time the smoke clears, we will have seen systemic collapse.

This will mean:

1)   Many major banks disappearing, as well as numerous potentially lengthy bank holidays (think Argentina in 2001)

2)   Multiple sovereign defaults as well as broad economic contractions and their commensurate unemployment/ civil unrest/ erasure of retirement accounts/ pensions (this process has already begun in some US municipals, e.g. San Bernandino and Stockton California as well as Harrisburg Pennsylvania).

3)   Possibly new currencies being introduced or new denominations of currencies (say one new unit being worth 1,000 of the old one)

4)   Massive wealth destruction to the tune of tens of trillions of Dollars (think MF Global i.e. the money is gone only systemically in fact we just had another such instance with PF)

5)   A global contraction that will result in new political/ power structures being implemented as well as the breakup of various countries/ unions.

6)   Very serious trade wars to begin (see Obamas recent attack on China) and very possibly a real war.

If the above make you frightened, youre not alone. As Ive dug deeper and deeper into the inner workings of the global financial system over the past months, the information Ive come across has only gotten worse. Ive been holding off writing all of this because up until roughly April/May it seemed possible that the world might veer towards another outcome.

I no longer view this to be the case. I am almost certain that what Ive written above will come to pass. I know that much of what Ive written to you in the past could be labeled as gloom and doom. However, I want you to know that I do not use the words systemic collapse lightly. Indeed, I wish I wasnt mentioning them now, but Id be doing you a disservice not to bring them up because were well on our way towards it.

Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   BULLISH QE ALGOS 7-27-12  Its difficult to comprehend the tape sometimes, especially when you try to square it with the overall news. The bottom line is bulls have placed their bets that the eurozone will be fixed and weaker U.S. GDP both will be met by a heavy dose of QE. Everything else doesnt matter. Bulls dont believe the Germans, despite Bundesbanks comments to the contrary; will block bond buying by Draghi and the ECB. The key phrase in the linked WSJ article was, If there is no ECB bond buying next week stocks will collapse. { AP: What I really cant fathom is how, why people are so eager to support the churn-and-earn paper fraud on wall street (their computers are literally selling to themselves along with the other programmed algo insanity helping/facilitating these costly wall street frauds which have not helped but in many ways hurt the real economy their gain is everyone elses pain as that money in their pockets must come from some real place; viz., your pockets theres no free lunch). Their buying time with b***s*** also facilitates the transfer of their worthless paper hot potatoes to ie., taxpayers, governments, etc.. Totally pathetic! Were way past the fool me twice, shame on me stage!  They really have to be prosecuted and put in jail where they belong. Theyre just not that important and they are a substantial detriment to the real economy and society generally. They have no fear of prosecution and have continued their paper frauds where they left off last crisis, and seek once again to cash out for hard currency, metals with the greater fools holding their worthless paper bag. I used to follow the markets when value/valuation meant something. Now I track them only to discern the ever greater frauds and the political connectivity to same. }

As Attacks Continue, Chick-fil-A Getting Plenty of Support for its Christian Values

Dave Bohon | Supporters of homosexual marriage, however, have been unable to leave the issue and agree to disagree.  {  I believe the concerted wrongful conduct of the respective cities et als vis-ŕ-vis Chick-Fil-A may well be actionable as a business tort and as well, a violation of constitutionally protected rights of  free speech, having a chilling effect thereon, by way of incorporation thereof under the fourteenth amendment of the u.s. constitution, as well as pursuant to the respective state constitutions applicable to the offending cities.  }

The Attack On Chick-Fil-A Is An Attack On The Freedom Of Speech Of Every American

http://albertpeia.com/attackonchickfilaattacksfreespeech.htm

{ My own feeling on the subject is live and let live, but that the state has no place in getting behind this contraindicated behavior. Look at the subject cities rallying in the name of cornholin (For the gay vote? How totally pathetic!). Without exception, they are literally domestic war zones, in decay, decline, and heading as the nation toward fiscal ruin, defacto/outright bankruptcy. They really should be concentrating on things that really matter before foolishly attacking freedom of speech. Previously: EVOLUTION: OBAMA NOW BACKS GAY MARRIAGE     [  Well, with some frolicking documented cocaine/gay sex romping in his past, hed be hard pressed not to. Interestingly, Clit Eastwood has come out in favor of gay marriage saying he doesnt give a f**k good for you Clit; spoken like a true egalitarian. Truth be told, I always liked those spaghetti westerns that put him on the map; his own Pale Rider, particularly; and of course, the Dirty Harry series. Aside from that, I find him/his films boring, shallow, and plebian beyond tears; hardly the philosopher king. Yet, I also dont give a f**k regarding gays living their lives as they wish, with full constitutional protections consistent with their presumed law-abiding lives, particularly in a world like this, such as it is. But, that doesnt mean the state must get behind (no pun intended) same. There are few if any legal statuses that cant be achieved through legal document, ie., adoptions, trust beneficiaries, etc.. Marriage, procreation, the province of a man/woman relationship has always been a given. Also interesting was the take on same by reknown Psychiatrist Maslow (his famed, laudable work regarding hierarchy of needs, etc., needs no introduction) who wrote and posited that homosexuality was physically, anatomically contraindicated. Again, let me reiterate a live, let live position while cautioning against the state getting behind (again, no pun) same and potentially giving young, pubescent, impressionable boys the idea that penises were made for male a**holes and not female vaginas. ] ...  OBAMA ADMITS FABRICATING GIRLFRIEND IN MEMOIR { Latent gay man obama -  ...   Barack Obama: The Naked Emperor Shocking but true revelations from David Icke| ..Obama is just more of the same, a big smile with strings attached, and controlled completely by those that chose him, trained him, sold him and provided his record funding, kept his many skeletons under wraps, like the gay sex and crack cocaine .. Larry Sinclair (from affidavit: 1. Who is Ron Allen that claims to be with your Presidential camp, who is alleged to claim that someone claiming to represent me called asking for $100,000, to keep me from coming forward about our (Obama and I) November 1999 encounter of sex and cocaine use?), ... Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself .., and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. ] http://albertpeia.com/obamadeceptionhighqualityversion.flv   } 

12 Pictures That Demonstrate How The New World Order Openly Mocks Us

http://albertpeia.com/newworldordervedgesmockus.htm

{ First, let me say that the vedges of the so-called new world order are in no real position to mock anyone, so mockable as they indeed are, as the incompetent vegetables that they in fact are, who have been the very architects of ultimately their own and the planets decline, fall, and demise. Yet, there is no question but that the masses so mocked, deserve to be mocked, having embraced their dismal fate at every turn; viz., their embrace of political correctness, though contraindicated, as, ie., the embrace of the violent, destructive nigger who literally would have them for dinner, or the compulsion to embrace that which the state says is right, though contraindicated, for political expedience owing to failure fed (including the incompetent missteps of the failed fed) desperation, ie., gay marriage, etc., contrived wars / conflicts, among other clearly observable, self-interested behavior of people, companies, nations, including the gargantuan bailed out frauds on wall street to everyones (but the frauds) detriment, still unprosecuted. That the jive-talking, b***s*** artist/grifter/con-man obama has not been held to even one of his former now broken campaign promises and is embraced by those foolish enough to believe more of the same is testament to how deserving of mocking the masses truly are (people should be outraged and wobama should be ridden out on a rail). Make no mistake; the reality is that the new world order/so-called elite are not elite at all; but rather, incompetent vegetables who cant do anything right as theyve now proven time and time again. As I previously said: The Elite Believe That You Are Ruining Their Planet And They Want You To Stop Reproducing

{ First and foremost clarification: There are no elite on this planet. The grim reality for this planet is a dominant species descended from initially notochords, primitive chordates, and relatively more recently primitive apes.

{ Think about this! By wobama’s own criteria in his last total b***s*** campaign, he should be stepping down; having failed on all counts and then some. He also promised to cut the nation’s deficit in half by the end of his term; yet, he has increased the nation’s deficit by a record amount greater than all the presidents since Eisenhower COMBINED ($5 trillion). He has done this to help cover up his unequivocal failure by any standard by which you measure a presidency, including his own. People in america must show the Washingtonians they are not doormats! They must stand up and let these politicos know that results count; particularly promised results. Absent positive results as with unmitigated failure, choom-gang-banger wobama, they get the boot. President Romney deserves the 4 years he’ll have to turn this disaster called america around. If President Romney doesn’t cut the mustard in 4 years as promised, then he will be out. Results Count! I believe that people in the final analysis will choose self-respect; that is, choose NOT to be wobama’s doormat. Despite and contrary to wobama’s spin/propagandameisters’ desperate spin/outright falsity which addresses anything but wobama’s clear record of failure, President Romney is smart enough, flexible enough, and with a record of concrete results behind him as compared to wobama choom fantasy/b***s***, President Romney will be a hands-on President to the entire nation in the most positive sense. As such, I believe people will choose self-respect, reality, real results which will make President Romney’s election a substantial margin blowout victory!

Buchanan: 'Obama has steadily diminished both himself and the office he holds'...  { Indeed he has; and, that’s putting it mildly! }  ‘…In an ad produced by the super PAC Priorities USA, Mitt Romney is charged with moral, if not material, complicity in the cancer death of the wife of a Missouri steelworker. Speaking straight into the camera, Joe Soptic, 62, charges Romney with coldly shutting down the plant where he worked and cutting off his health insurance. This, says Soptic, left his wife without insurance to pay for her care, until, falling ill, she went to a doctor, who discovered stage 4 cancer, which killed her in 22 days.Soptic implies a causal connection between Romney’s decision to shut the plant and his wife’s death. The ad is a premeditated attempt to murder the reputation of Mitt Romney. And from start to finish, it is a deception. The truth. Mitt Romney gave up leadership of Bain Capital in 1999. The steel plant was closed in 2001. Soptic lost his health insurance, but his wife was still working and had hers. She lost her job and insurance in 2003. Her illness and cancer were discovered in 2006, when Romney was ending his fourth year as governor of Massachusetts…’  { It’s really quite amazing: everything but the facts/truth from wobama et als. Actually, wobama has a real tax evader in his ranks; viz., tiny tim geithner who asserted the statute of limitations to get out of paying taxes that were rightfully due. Should President Romney as a rational business man whose record at Bain was conceded by Bill Clinton to have been sterling have instructed his accountants to forget all they know about accounting/taxation and do a bad job (now doing a bad job is something that failed president wobama can identify with and knows something about).

Janet Napolitanos Little Love Nest at DHS

Prisonplanet.com | The Thomas More Law Center has announced that it has filed a federal lawsuit against Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.

Shocking Federal Lawsuit Against DHS Napolitano: Big Sis Favored Her Gal Pals, Treated Male Staffers Like Lapdogs, Her Female Staff Tormented Male Employees with Sexually Charged Games   { Whoa! Lapdog to Napolitano! Whew! Ew! Wow! Yuck! After all, jano almost makes mo reno look like a beauty queen! Im starting to get dry heaves! In the suit Hayes also accused Napolitanos chief of staff at ICE, Suzanne Barr, of repeated 'sexually offensive behaviour' intended to 'humiliate and intimidate male employees'.On one occasion, Barr called a colleague in his hotel room and screamed using sexually explicit language, telling him she 'wanted his c*** in the back of [her] throat' (of course, this impressionable lesbian must have seen deep throat; maybe she really thinks theres a possibility she has a clitoris in the deep recesses of her throator notjust kidding). Might this be behind (pun) the sadistic groping of TSA. Pretty sordid stuff, indeed!  }  Hayes claims he 'felt that he was being targeted because of his gender' and witnessed Barr repeatedly picking on men. She 'created a frat-house type atmosphere that is targeted to humiliate and intimidate male employees', according to court papers. In 2009 she 'removed the entire contents of the offices of three male employees, including nameplates, computers and telephones, to the mens bathroom at ICE headquarters'.

Guest Post: The West Has Just Become A Giant Banana Republic  Legal precedent means nothing. Rule of law means nothing. Free speech means nothing. Their own treaties mean nothing. Its unbelievable. Anyone in the west who honestly thinks hes still living in a free society is either a fool or completely out of touch. If that seems too radical an idea, consider that ECUADOR is now the only nation which stands to defend freedom and human rights against an assault from the United States, the United Kingdom, and their spineless allies. The west has just become a giant banana republic. Have you hit your breaking point yet? If not now when?  { { Im really constrained to interject my own direct experience with the FBI here; and, I must say I do so lamentably. If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the tough questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal drug ops (opsriiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You cant make this stuff up. I also dont believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. Im beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the federal (judicial) system who share the same employer; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared more fairly with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:  Debauchery: An American specialty In the land of Lindsay Lohan and Snooki, some federal workers reflect our culture all too well. (Washington Post) [ Lindsay Lohan? Come on Mr. Milbank, hands off the low hanging fruit. Shes totally harmless. Jersey italian snooki? In mob infested new jersey, who knows (one of the properties in my proceedings for which surplus funds are unaccounted for was a 2 bedroom 1 and 1/2 bath condominium in seaside heights, n.j.). But debauchery an american specialty? Another rare instance wherein I agree with Mr. Milbank completely. 25 Signs That America Is A Seething Cesspool Of Filth And Corruption http://albertpeia.com/25signsamericacesspooloffilthcrimeandcorruption.htm . Review of flawed forensics held close to vest EXCLUSIVE | Documents and interviews show FBI and Justice Department officials took steps to control information uncovered by a task force designed to examine cases involving discredited agents. Many defendants were never notified of flaws in cases. Simply unconscionable (Washington Post) [ Well, I really have to say this. Im awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ) . Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed the level and extent of corruption and criminality within the ranks of the u.s. government before embarking upon this costly quest for justice and simple fairness consistent with clear law (infra, regarding the u.s. governments direct involvement in the illegal drug trade). In this civil RICO matter, there are no innocent bystanders; but rather, perpetrators, accomplices, and co-conspirators. When the fbi agent initially assigned to this matter (Connecticut) abruptly resigned/retired shortly after a conversation, though not central to my case, wherein I had said that rudy giulianis father had been an (convicted) enforcer for the mob (served 12 years? in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter?) and then sent him documentation owing to his disbelief. Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard. I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agents departure who somewhat plaintively (my call being a burden) told me that he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari, which he didnt explain further. Could anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jerseys FBI office, I was greeted by an FBI Agent who sarcastically asked me whether I was going to the disco that night (the documents including sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alitos office in the same building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   . We all can infer sam alitos reward / quid pro quo for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme court.  There was never a question as to maryanne trump barrys interest in corrupting the judicial process as related to her brothers (trump) casinos. Jersey city boy louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klaiman as the most corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly holders impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvds sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference. Im currently being stonewalled by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI Agent Bill Lewis.

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

ATF Chief Melson:Justice Department trying to shield officials (LATimes) Serrano

 

I believe him!

 I truly empathize with the ATF in terms of government cover-ups, notably by even the DOJ. Youll recognize some familiar names (ie., Alito, Trump, Freeh (Louis Freeh now has dual citizenship with Italy), and some familiar crimes (ie., drug money laundering, etc. real cash cow for govt ops, bribes, etc.). [Did you know this about the following ATF Agents who were probably viewed as loose ends: Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeahan & Conway LeBleu:   Died February 28, 1993 by gunfire at Waco. All four were examined by a pathologist and died from identical wounds to the left temple. All four had been body guards for Bill Clinton, three while campaigning for President and when he was Governor of Arkansas.They also were the ONLY 4 BATF agents killed at Waco. ]

Heres some real, complicit cover-up / fraud on the part of the federal government, et als:

 Dear Sir:

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computers browser) as per your offices request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which Ive installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named 112208opocoan). The (civil) RICO action (as youre aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBIs LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation Andrew Maloneys the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..

Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.

The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages:   [  Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File        Page 1                Page 2          ]

Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [   transcript in pertinent part -     http://albertpeia.com/crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf    ]

Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.],   Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

[ This is a reply to the Congresswoman’s query among others included.]

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. 43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

 

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

America also leads in the illegal drug trade.  In fact, many researchers reveal that the war on drugs is only utilized to control and monopolize the illicit drug trade.  The US government has been caught multiple times shipping in cocaine [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvbdiWgwsA , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQNSoOX-dcw&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG1Id2qpSOE&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEUhpxeuP4&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyM43Sw2OVc&feature=related ] , colluding with certain cartels [ http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/08/does_mexican_drug_cartel_have_deal_with_us_government.html ] to control the industry, and now openly protects and transports opium from Afghanistan [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElEciFI0Pew ] .  In fact, Global Research points out that in 2001, “according to UN figures, opium production had fallen to 185 tons. Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [ http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world ] ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  BERNANKE & CO READY TO PROVIDE ANOTHER ROUND { of consistently failed, inflationary QE for the benefit of the wall street frauds only, to the detriment of the real economy and everyone else! This misguided wall street fraud oriented policy is in large part responsible  for the increasingly dismal state of the economy  along with the natural concomitant of rising prices which are blamed on everything but the contraindicated QE which is the primary culprit! } The only news that mattered to the algos and HFTs were nuggets of more QE found in FOMC Minutes released just in time for the 2:15 Buy Program Express to leave the station. More money printing is inflationary and stocks can inflate too so lets not kid ourselves. Perhaps the so-called smart money has been buying stocks in anticipation of this kind of pro-QE3 news; frankly, they would have little other reason to buy this market.

Guest Post: The Stock Market Is An "Attractive Nuisance" And Should Be Closed

 

In tort law, an attractive nuisance is any potentially hazardous object or condition that is likely to attract the naive and unwary, i.e. children. A classic example is an abandoned swimming pool half-filled with fetid water. The stock market is demonstrably an "attractive nuisance" and should be closed immediately. It should never be reopened unless these conditions can be met: 1) All shares must be owned for at least four hours 2) All trading must be executed by humans on a transparent exchange where all trading activity (and open orders) is visible to all participants 3) Intervention in the market by the Federal Reserve or any Central State agency or agents is against the law. If you insist on putting money at risk in the stock market, be aware that you are playing a rigged roulette wheel and thus you are a mark. You might win, or the entire game might collapse in a rotten heap of lies and corruption. Just remember that the market is ruled by parasites who need to keep their hosts (investors) alive so they can continue to feed off them (i.e. biotrophic parasites). If the hosts all leave the market, the parasites will have only themselves to feed on, and they will quickly expire.

He Does It Because He Can

Remarkably similar threatening tactics have been directed at other women who, like Mrs. Browning, have personal knowledge of Clintons misconduct and were sought as witnesses in official proceedings against Clinton. See id. at 134. Plaintiffs referred in their Amended Complaint to the threats and retaliation by Clinton and his agents against Kathleen Willey and Linda Tripp when they were called to testify in the Jones case and the Independent Counsels investigation of the Lewinsky affair. Indeed, the number of women who have suffered from these "Clintonian" tactics is significant. On March 11, 1999, Investors Business Daily reported that at least nine (9) women have now charged that Clinton "personally assaulted them or, through his agents or people, threatened to do them or their families physical harm." The list includes Dolly Kyle Browning, Gennifer Flowers, Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Corbin Jones, Kathleen Willey, Monica Lewinsky, Linda Tripp, Sally Perdue, and Elizabeth Ward Gracen. "And all of them say theyre afraid for their safety so long as he remains in power."

Lewinsky, who told her own account of the affair in the 1999 book "Monica's Story," said she reluctantly spoke out about Clinton's tome "My Life" because he tried to rewrite history. "He says he was proud of the way that he defended the presidency, at my expense," she said. "In the process he destroyed me, and that was the way he was going to have to do that, to get through impeachment," Lewinsky added. "I was a young girl and to hear him saying some of the things he was saying today -- it's a shame."

John F. Kennedy Jr.
Potential Candidate for Senator from New York.
died: 7/16/99
Within days of an NBC Dateline story hinting at a possible run for the Senate seat currently assumed to be the property of Hillary Clinton, JFK Jr. and his wife and sister-in-law died when the Piper Saratoga II TC JFK Jr. was piloting crashed in to the ocean just short of Martha's Vineyard. The NEWSWEEK issue for the following Monday, which NBC Dateline had reported would announce JFK Jr's candidacy, was yanked from distributors and destroyed.

Even before the wreckage of the plane had been found, the media was saturated with news stories declaring the weather to have been very hazy (the weather was VFR conditions, and 8 mile visibility, plus weather radar and witnesses on Martha's Vineyard all reported clear skies) making it impossible for JFK Jr. to know which way was up (he also had working instruments in the aircraft).

As was the case when TWA 800 was shot down, the United States Navy took control of the crash site, ordering an unprecidented 5 mile wide no-fly zone while the wreckage of the aircraft was recovered and taken to a military base.

Reporters Cindy Adams and Andrew Goldman have documented the planting of false information about JFK Jr. in the media in the days following his crash. The feeding of false information to the press proves there is a cover-up. The existence of a cover-up is why JFK Jr. gets an entry on the Dead Bodies List.

According to some reports, Mrs. Kennedy was pregnant.

CLINTON BODY COUNT

By: Ether Zone Staff

Here is the latest body count that we have. All of these people have been connected with the Clintons in some form or another. We have not included any deaths that could not be verified or connected to the Clinton scandals. All deaths are listed chronologically by date. This list is current and accurate to the best of our knowledge as of January 13, 1999 August 1, 2000.

Susan Coleman: Rumors were circulating in Arkansas of an affair with Bill Clinton. She was found dead with a gunshot wound to the head at 7 1/2 months pregnant. Death was an apparent suicide.

Larry Guerrin: Was killed in February 1987 while investigating the INSLAW case.

Kevin Ives & Don Henry: Initial cause of death was reported to be the result of falling asleep on a railroad track in Arkansas on August 23, 1987. This ruling was reported by the State medical examiner Fahmy Malak. Later it was determined that Kevin died from a crushed skull prior to being placed on the tracks. Don had been stabbed in the back. Rumors indicate that they might have stumbled upon a Mena drug operation.

Keith Coney: Keith had information on the Ives/Henry deaths. Died in a motorcycle accident in July 1988 with unconfirmed reports of a high speed car chase.

Keith McKaskle: McKaskle has information on the Ives/Henry deaths. He was stabbed to death in November 1988.

Gregory Collins: Greg had information on the Ives/Henry deaths. He died from a gunshot wound to the face in January 1989.

Jeff Rhodes: He had information on the deaths of Ives, Henry & McKaskle. His burned body was found in a trash dump in April 1989. He died of a gunshot wound to the head and there was some body mutilation, leading to the probably speculation that he was tortured prior to being killed.

James Milam: Milam had information on the Ives & Henry deaths. He was decapitated. The state Medical examiner, Fahmy Malak, initially ruled death due to natural causes.

Richard Winters: Winters was a suspect in the deaths of Ives & Henry. He was killed in a "robbery" in July 1989 which was subsequently proven to be a setup.

Jordan Kettleson: Kettleson had information on the Ives & Henry deaths. He was found shot to death in the front seat of his pickup in June 1990.

Alan Standorf: An employee of the National Security Agency in electronic intelligence. Standorf was a source of information for Danny Casalaro who was investigating INSLAW, BCCI, etc. Standorf's body was found in the backseat of a car at Washington National Airport on Jan 31, 1991.

Dennis Eisman: An attorney with information on INSLAW. Eisman was found shot to death on April 5, 1991.

Ronald Miller: Suddenly took ill on October 3rd,1997 and steadily worsened until his death 9 days later. (This pattern fits Ricin poisoning.) Owing to the strangeness of the illness, doctors at the Integris Baptist Medical Center referred the matter to the Oklahoma State Medical Examiner's Office. The Oklahoma State Medical Examiner's Office promptly ran tests on samples of Ron Miller's blood, but has refused to release the results or even to confirm that the tests were ever completed.

Had been investigated by authorities over the sale of his company, Gage Corp. to Dynamic Energy Resources, Inc. was the man who tape recorded Gene and Nora Lum and turned those tapes (and other records) over to congressional oversight investigators. The Lums were sentenced to prison for campaign finance violations, using "straw donors" to conceal the size of their contributions to various candidates.

Sandy Hume: On Sunday, February 22nd, 1998, Sandy Hume, the 28 year old son of journalist Britt Hume, was reportedly found dead in his Arlington, Virginia home.

Worked for Hill magazine, about Congress for Congress.

Jim McDougal: Bill and Hillary Clinton friend, banker, and political ally, sent to prison for  eighteen felony convictions. A key whitewater witness, dies of a heart attack on March, 8 1998.

Died on March 8, 1998

Johnny Lawhon: 29, died March 29, 1998- The Arkansas transmission specialist who discovered a pile of Whitewater documents in the trunk of an abandoned car on his property and turned them over to Starr, was killed in a car wreck two weeks after the McDougal death.. Details of the "accident" have been sketchy -- even from the local Little Rock newspaper.

Charles Wilbourne Miller: 63, was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head on November 17, 1998  in a shallow pit about 300 yards from his ranch house near Little Rock. Police found a .410 gauge shotgun near Miller's body and a Ruger .357-caliber revolver submerged in water. Investigators concluded the Ruger was the weapon used by Miller to kill himself. Yet, two rounds in the handgun's cylinder had been spent.

He had long served as executive vice president and member of the board of directors for a company called Alltel and was deeply involved in his own software engineering company until the day he died. Alltel is the successor to Jackson Stephens' Systematics, the company that provided the software for the White House's "Big Brother" data base system and that was behind the administration's plan to develop the secret computer "Clipper" chip to bug every phone, fax and email transmission in America.

Carlos Ghigliotti: 42, was found dead in his home just outside of Washington D.C. on April 28, 2000. There was no sign of a break-in or struggle at the firm of Infrared Technology  where the badly decomposed body of Ghigliotti was found. Ghigliotti had not been seen for several weeks.

Ghigliotti, a thermal imaging analyst hired by the House Government Reform Committee to review tape of the siege, said he determined the FBI fired shots on April 19, 1993. The FBI has explained the light bursts on infrared footage as reflections of sun rays on shards of glass or other debris that littered the scene.

"I conclude this based on the groundview videotapes taken from several different angles simultaneously and based on the overhead thermal tape," Ghigliotti told The Washington Post last October. "The gunfire from the ground is there, without a doubt."

Ghigliotti said the tapes also confirm the Davidians fired repeatedly at FBI agents during the assault, which ended when flames raced through the compound. About 80 Branch Davidians perished that day, some from the fire, others from gunshot wounds.

Mark Corallo, a spokesman for the congressional committee chaired by Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind., said that police found the business card of a committee investigator in Ghigliotti's office. Corallo said Ghigliotti's work for the committee ended some time ago.

Tony Moser: 41, was killed as he crossed a street in Pine Bluff, Ark on on June 10, 2000. Killed 10 days after being named a columnist for the Democrat-Gazette newspaper and two days after penning a stinging indictment of political corruption in Little Rock.

Police have concluded that no charges will be filed against the unnamed driver of a 1995 Chevrolet pickup, which hit Moser as he was walking alone in the middle of unlit Rhinehart Road about 10:10 p.m

Police say they have ruled out foul play and will file no charges against the driver because he was not intoxicated and there was no sign of excessive speed.

The consistent and persistent focus on the totally fraudulent, manipulated stock markets, fraudulent wall street particularly with contraindicated, failed QE for benefit of wall street frauds only, to the detriment of literally everyone else, viz., taxpayers, main street, etc., has become nothing short of criminally insane!  [ ECB INTERVENTION COMMENT DU JOUR: "CLASSIC BANANA REPUBLIC BANKING"   http://albertpeia.com/classicbananarepublicbanking.htm   . { It bears repeating that never in history have the markets become so disconnected from fundamental finance, valuation, and reality and so completely and utterly fraudulent. I believe that computerization facilitating multiple frauds at lightning speed, over and over again and again along with re-hypothecation of already worthless paper at similar speeds is in part the reason for the prevalence of such fraud along with the breakdown of american among other societies into what yesteryear would have been scorned as ‘banana republics’ without any meaningful rules of law whatsoever and pervasive, almost blatant, corruption at every level.

Even the previous data was reduced from 163K to 141K meaning next month’s numbers should be taken with a grain of salt, and not sugar. Forget the slightly lower unemployment rate since with so many dropping off the rolls the real rate is closer to 12% than 8.1%, and that’s generous.

A Canadian Summarizes America's Collapse: "Everyone Takes, Nobody Makes, Money Is Free, And Money Is Worthless"  ZH On this lackluster Boxing Day dominated by illiquid moves in every asset class, we thought a few succinct minutes spent comprehending the US and European government policies of social welfare and their outcomes was time well spent. Canadian MP Pierre Poilievre delivers a rather epic speech destroying the myths of US and European 'wealth' noting that "Once the US citizen is in debt, the US government encourages them to stay in debt," noting that "the US government encouraged millions of Americans to spend money they did not have on homes they could not afford using loans they could never repay and then gave them a tax incentive never to repay it." His message, delivered seamlessly, notes the inordinate rise in the cost of all this borrowing, adding that "through debt interest alone, soon the US taxpayer will be funding 100% of the Chinese Military complex." From Dependence to Debt to the Welfare State and back to Dependence, this presentation puts incredible context on the false hope so many believe in the US and Europe. Everyone takes, nobody makes, work doesn't pay, indulgence doesn't cost, money is free, and money is worthless. Must watch.

30 Population Control Quotes That Show That The Elite Truly Believe That Humans Are A Plague Upon The Earth

http://thetruthwins.com

http://albertpeia.com/humanplagueonearth.htm

{ It really doesn’t matter what they believe; but rather, it’s what is, that counts. Anyone with average intelligence or better, if they’ve been paying attention, ineluctably must conclude that humans are a ‘net negative’ in real terms. That will never change! Human beings are, on balance, inherently destructive. Fortunately, universally, there is no significant impact inasmuch as the human plague is confined to this solar system; and, for all intents and purposes, to this dying planet. Remember, there’s just decades left at best! }

29 Signs That The Elite Are Transforming Society Into A Total Domination Control Grid

[   12 Pictures That Demonstrate How The New World Order Openly Mocks Us http://albertpeia.com/newworldordervedgesmockus.htm  { First, let me say that the vedges of the so-called new world order are in no real position to mock anyone, so mockable as they indeed are, as the incompetent vegetables that they in fact are, who have been the very architects of ultimately their own and the planets decline, fall, and demise. Yet, there is no question but that the masses so mocked, deserve to be mocked, having embraced their dismal fate at every turn; viz., their embrace of political correctness, though contraindicated, as, ie., the embrace of the violent, destructive nigger who literally would have them for dinner, or the compulsion to embrace that which the state says is right, though contraindicated, for political expedience owing to failure fed (including the incompetent missteps of the failed fed) desperation, ie., gay marriage, etc., contrived wars / conflicts, among other clearly observable, self-interested behavior of people, companies, nations, including the gargantuan bailed out frauds on wall street to everyones (but the frauds) detriment, still unprosecuted. That the jive-talking, b***s*** artist/grifter/con-man obama has not been held to even one of his former now broken campaign promises and is embraced by those foolish enough to believe more of the same is testament to how deserving of mocking the masses truly are (people should be outraged and wobama should be ridden out on a rail). Make no mistake; the reality is that the new world order/so-called elite are not elite at all; but rather, incompetent vegetables who cant do anything right as theyve now proven time and time again.

        Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. Aldous Huxley

The entire system is corrupt to its core. Both political parties, regulatory agencies, Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, and mainstream media are participants in this enormous fraud. They grow more desperate and bold by the day. The lies, misinformation and propaganda being spewed on a daily basis become more outrageous and audacious. They are using the Big Lie method on a grand scale. They frantically need to lure the muppets into the stock market and the housing market to keep the game going a little longer. You can sense we are reaching a tipping point. The system they have created is mathematically unsustainable. Therefore, it will not be sustained.

 

The start of the 100-year bear   Marketwatch  Paul B. Farrell  Here are 5 dangers ahead that could tip the stock market into a long decline. Which hits first?  http://albertpeia.com/100yearbear.htm  ‘…Many other Dr. Dooms predict new 2008 crash, long bear market  Today, Prechter is in great company, one of many other well-known Dr. Dooms who have long-term visions, in a myopic world. Youll see Prechter alongside such other great Dr. Dooms as Hong Kongs Marc Faber ... celebrity economist Nouriel Roubini ... Nobel economist Joseph Stiglitz, author of Freefall ... $100 billion money manager Jeremy Grantham, who says our GDP is On the Road to Zero Growth ... Forbes columnist Gary Shilling, who sees the S&P dropping 45% to 800... historian Niall Ferguson, author of Colossus: The Rise and Fall of The American Empire ... hedge fund genius Nassim Taleb, author of Black Swan ... former IMF chief economist Simon Johnson, co-author of White House Burning and Doomsday Cycle ... billionaire trader George Soros, who just made a billion shorting the yen ... economists Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff, whose classic This Time is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly says it all ... anthropologist Jared Diamond whose Collapse warns us that throughout history civilizations fail because leaders fail to plan and act in time ... and other Dr.Dooms were tracking. So yes, Prechter and his Dow 400 and 100-year bear-market predictions are in good company. And we even have to include Pimcos Mohamed El-Erian, who manages a $2 trillion portfolio along with Bond King Bill Gross. El-Erian recently warned investors about the New Normal: Low Growth, Few Jobs.”…’

The Takedown Of Gold A Sign That The Entire Global Financial System Is About To Crash ?

http://albertpeia.com/globalfinancialsystemcrash.htm

 

‘…So who is behind all of this orchestration?  Well, according to Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, it is actually the Federal Reserve... The Federal Reserve began its April Fools assault on gold by sending the word to brokerage houses, which quickly went out to clients, that hedge funds and other large investors were going to unload their gold positions and that clients should get out of the precious metal market prior to these sales. As this inside information was the governments own strategy, individuals cannot be prosecuted for acting on it. By this operation, the Federal Reserve, a totally corrupt entity, was able to combine individual flight with institutional flight. Bullion prices took a big hit, and bullishness departed from the gold and silver markets. The flow of dollars into bullion, which threatened to become a torrent, was stopped. In fact, Dr. Roberts says that former Goldman Sachs trader Andrew Maguire is reporting that the Fed orchestrated the dumping of 500 tons of naked gold shorts into the market on Friday... According to Andrew Maguire, on Friday, April 12, the Feds agents hit the market with 500 tons of naked shorts. Normally, a short is when an investor thinks the price of a stock or commodity is going to fall. He wants to sell the item in advance of the fall, pocket the money, and then buy the item back after it falls in price, thus making money on the short sale. If he doesnt have the item, he borrows it from someone who does, putting up cash collateral equal to the current market price. Then he sells the item, waits for it to fall in price, buys it back at the lower price and returns it to the owner who returns his collateral. If enough shorts are sold, the result can be to drive down the market price. As Dr. Roberts noted, this represents an absolutely massive amount of gold... Consider the 500 tons of paper gold sold on Friday. Begin with the question, how many ounces is 500 tons? There are 2,000 pounds to one ton. 500 tons equal 1,000,000 pounds. There are 16 ounces to one pound, which comes to 16 million ounces of short sales on Friday. Who has 16 million ounces of gold? At the beginning gold price that day of about $1,550, that comes to $24,800,000,000. Who has that kind of money? A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE NEED TO BE CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATED. Meanwhile, many are considering this takedown of gold to be an ominous sign that another major financial crisis may be heading our way. Just remember what happened back in 2008.  As Zero Hedge noted on Monday, the price of gold suddenly plunged 21 percent in July 2008.  That was just a couple of months before the U.S. stock market crashed in the fall...

 

 

El-Erian's Summary: "Virtually Every Market Is Trading At Very Artificial Levels""In order for central banks to achieve their ultimate economic objective - which is growth and jobs - they have to push investors into taking more risk than is justified," is the somewhat chilling warning that PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian gives in this excellent interview with the WSJ. "Central banks are operating through the wealth effect and animal spirits," El-Erian says peeling back the truth onion, as they prop up asset prices to "artificial levels, in virtually every market." Worries over the central bankers of the world withdrawing easy money policies too early are "unwarranted," he notes, adding that he suspects, "they will most likely stay too long and they will consciously make that mistake." Critically, though, he sends a message that appears to fit with many of our recent discussions (most recently here) that "if these levels arent validated by the fundamentals, then investors will get hurt."

The 34 Words That May Have Caused Today's Crash In Stocks There is much consternation about what triggered today's rapid escalation of selling pressure in US stocks. As the evening wends on and traders sip their Absinthe, it appears an embargoed record of the Fed's Advisory Panel minutes was at least a major concern as it raised the very real specter that those in charge are concerned at the monster they have created: "there is also concern about the possibility of a breakout of inflation, although current inflation risk is not considered unmanageable, and of an unsustainable bubble in equity and fixed-income markets given current prices."  "Unsustainable bubble"? And this not from some fringe blog but... bankers?

Thats not the way capitalism is supposed to work."

Is This China's 'Minsky Moment'?

China’s credit growth has been outstripping economic growth for five quarters with the corporate debt bubble looking increasingly precarious (as we explained here and here). This raises one key question: where has the money gone? As SocGen notes, although such divergence is not unprecedented, it potentially suggests a trend that gives greater cause for concern – China is approaching a Minsky moment. At the micro level, SocGen points out that a non-negligible share of the corporate sector and local government financial vehicles are struggling to cover their financial expense. At the macro level, they estimate that China’s debt servicing costs have significantly exceeded underlying economic growth. As a result, the debt snowball is getting bigger and bigger, without contributing to real activity (see CCFDs for a very big example). This is probably where most of China’s missing money went.

Select Highlights From Goldman's End Of Trading Recap

"Some color on the extent of the selling from Laine Litman on the futures desk: Starting 6 minutes before the cash close we saw a strong sell off in ESM3. As predicted, volumes and volatility were high. We sold off 7 handles before the additional quick crash of 4.25 points in the final few seconds. Over 110k contracts traded in the last minute. This is the largest non-quarter end volumes seen since November 2011 (117k) and the largest volumes since June 2012 (111k)."

 

 

The Centrally-Planned World Through The Eyes Of Rocky And Bullwinkle

Some of my first memories of television are of a series called The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, which was a witty combination of animated cartoons about the exploits of the title characters, Rocket "Rocky" J. Squirrel and Bullwinkle J. Moose and their nemeses, two Pottsylvanian nogoodniks spies, Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. The show was filled with current event commentary, political and social satire. The show was also filled with commentary on economic and market conditions that resonated with the parents watching the show while the kids focused on the cartoons. Each show ended with the narrator describing the current cliffhanger with a pair of related titles, usually with a bad pun intended. So let's adapt some of my favorite Rocky and Bullwinkle episode titles to modern day; we might see that there are some political and economic challenges that are timeless, as it appears we have been doing the same thing over and over for decades and expecting different results.

Conspicuous Contrarians, Higher Highs, And Complete Complacency

While stocks could continue to climb higher that does not mitigate the underlying risks. In fact, it is quite the opposite. It is very likely that we are creating one, or more, asset bubbles once again. However, what is missing currently is the catalyst to spark the next major correction. That catalyst is likely something that we are not even aware of at the moment. It could be a resurgence of the Eurocrisis, a banking crisis or Japan's grand experiment backfiring. It could also be the upcoming debt ceiling debate, more government spending cuts, or higher tax rates. It could even be just the onset of an economic business cycle recession from the continued drags out of Europe and now the emerging market countries. Regardless, at some point, and it is only a function of time, reality and fantasy will collide. The reversion of the current extremes will happen devastatingly fast. When this occurs the media will question how such a thing could of happened? Questions will be asked why no one saw it coming.

 

 

The Week That Was: May 27th - May 31st 2013

Succinctly summarizing the positive and negative news, data, and market events of the week...

 

 

Dow Dumps 270 Points Intraday To Biggest 2-Week Drop In Six Months

The Dow Jones Utility Index is down 35% in the last two weeks - the largest drop since March 2009. Across the board, what looked like being a normal BTFD day around midday, equity markets were monkey-hammered lowered with the S&P 500's worst 2-week run in 6 months. The Dow dropped over 270 points intraday (and 400 from its Monday highs) - attributed to a large month-end sell-side imbalance. Equity markets appear to be playing catch-down to credit's warning messages (though stocks are only down 1% from Friday's close, it feels like more as they are -2.5% to 3% from the highs). JPY strengthened into the equity sell-off and commodities all legged lower (with WTI -2.5% on the week and Gold unch) even as the USD weakened 0.5% on the week. The reality of the one-way trade was very evident. Treasuries came well off their worst levels of the day but remain 11-14bps higher in yield on the week. VIX, which had also been sending its warning messages, smashed 1.75 vols higher to 16.25%. It seems a lot will be reflecting on the Dow/NKY convergence and the behavior in Japan this week as they note there was no bounce at all in today's closing crash.

Stocks Slide On Hindenburg Omen Sighting

While there is little gained in figuring out the vacillations in equity 'markets' from one moment to the next, there appear to be three reasons being discussed for this drop in stocks. First, this is the worst  month for the long bond in absolute price deterioration since Dec 2009 - for managers in balanced portfolios, there will need to be a month-end rebalancing 'into' bonds and out of stocks to ensure the weightings remain with their mandates. Second, the index rebalancing is having some effect on the equity market (though that has been well telegraphed). Third, and perhaps more important to some, based on intraday data so far, the much-discussed Hindenburg Omen has been spotted. The last time we were this high in stocks and the Hindenburg was spotted was October 2007...

 

 

Shorting Stocks On These POMO Days In June 'Will' Be Hazardous To Your Health

Having shifted our communication stance from 'may' to 'will' last month, the Fed's upcoming POMO schedule offers some insights into the days when shorting (apart from the obvious Tuesdays) will be dangerous (though the BoJ now stuck may require a communication change back to 'may'). We do note that the Fed POMO'd $44 billion out outright Treasury purchases in May (as expected) and plans to do the same in June with $45 billion pegged (strongly suggesting no Taper anytime soon)... it seems next Friday is your first opportunity (though if the last hour is anything to go by... perhaps the Fed's omniptence is being challenged).

 

 

Meanwhile, In Turkey...

While most of the headlines this week have centered on Syria, Sweden (and Switzerland), Turkey has been cooking and today has broken into full-scale riots. As Reuters reports, Turkish police fired tear gas and water cannon on Friday at demonstrators in central Istanbul, wounding scores of people and prompting rallies in other cities in the fiercest anti-government protests for years. The growing unrest centers on disquiet at the authoritarianism of Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan and his Islamist-rooted Justice and Development Party (who just visited Obama). "We do not have a government, we have Tayyip Erdogan ... Even AK Party supporters are saying they have lost their mind, they are not listening to us." The protests somewhat surprisingly were sparked by the uprooting of trees but rapidly escalated (as seen below) into riot police, water cannon, and tear gas battles as protesters exclaim, "we're fed up... we don't like the direction the country is heading."

 

 

Morgan Stanley Head Of Treasury Trading Busted For... Trading Treasurys While At Goldman

Perhaps there is a reason why Morgan Stanley is 'giving up' on its fixed income business. It seems, yet again Morgan Stanley has hired an ex-Goldman Sachs criminal   opportunistic trader. Glenn Hadden, the very head of interest rate trading at Morgan Stanley, has been found guilty of engaging in trading that violated CME rules in Treasury futures on December 19th 2008 - while was employed by Goldman Sachs. While Goldman faces a $875,000 slap on the wrist, Hadden, somewhat remarkably will face a mere $80,000 fine and the wonderfully timed (given the summer doldrums) 10-day suspension from trading. Doing God's work wherever they trade... that'll teach him! And now, back to Glenn manipulating buying and selling the 10 Year.

 

 

Britain To Arm Syrian Rebels; Russia Retaliates By Shipping 10 MiGs To Assad

Following Russia's first shipment of S-300 Rockets and the CNN-reported deaths of American and British citizens, it seems the situation in Syria is escalating 'behind-the-scenes' with little attention being paid in general. Whether it is the deaths or not, but according to the FT, the 'war-by-proxy' is growing in numbers as the UK is poised to ship arms to some rebel factions in Syria as soon as this summer. "The precise timing has not yet been finalized and no decision has yet been taken. But we are likely to be ... shipping arms to the rebels by August," one official noted, adding that "the rebels need ammunition, and a lot of it, just to keep fighting." The US had secretly undertaken significant lobbying efforts of EU member states to get the EU arms embargo amended and this week Britain and France forced through that deal opening the door for the supply of weapons. Adding to the angst, Russia's MiG aircraft makers said on Friday that it planned to sign a new agreement to ship at least 10 fighter jets to Syria.

Government: "A Seedy Circus... Perpetually In Debt"

Is there a better phrase to describe modern government than “a seedy circus which is perpetually in debt?” It is perfect. Government is exhausted. It, like Whipsnade’s circus, is  out of resources, ideas and solutions. Government has painted itself into a fiscal and financial corner from which there is no escape. As a result of its profligacy, government is no longer able to sustain itself. That is the real reason for the Fed’s quantitative easing program(s). Taxes and traditional government bond sales no longer provide enough money to run the monster. QE, more properly described as counterfeiting, is a euphemism to disguise the insolvency of the government. Without the Federal Reserve, government would have to pare down dramatically. Government is now a facade, with guns. It has failed miserably at governance and shifted its focus to survival.

With The G-4 Central Banks "All In", Pimco Speculates When QE Finally Ends

"QE detractors... see something quite different. They see QE as not responding to the collapse in the money multiplier but to some extent causing it. In this account QE – and the flatter yield curves that have resulted from it – has itself broken the monetary transmission mechanism, resulting in central banks pushing ever more liquidity on a limper and limper string. In this view, it is not inflation that’s at risk from QE, but rather, the health of the financial system. In this view, instead of central banks waiting for the money multiplier to rebound to old normal levels before QE is tapered or ended, central banks must taper or end QE first to induce the money multiplier and bank lending to increase."

 

 

Guest Post: Is It Fixable?

In the 15th century, the highest standard of living in the world belonged to China. Places like Nanjing had reached the pinnacle of civilization with incredibly modern infrastructure, robust economies, substantial international trade, great healthcare, and a rising middle class. If you had told a Chinese merchant at the time that, over the course of the next several hundred years, global primacy would shift to Europe (and a relatively unknown American continent), you would have been laughed at. It was simply unthinkable given how advanced China was over the west. And yet, it happened. Ironically, the tables are turning yet again; in total objectivity, the patient is beyond cure at this point… and the math is quite simple. Nations typically enter this vicious cycle once they start having to borrow money just to pay interest on what they already owe. The US is already way past this point.

 

 

Market Update: Taper 'On' And 'Off' Everywhere

Why Is The Smart Money Suddenly Getting Out Of Stocks And Real Estate?

Just three weeks ago we noted Apollo Group's Leon Black's comment that his firm was "selling everything not nailed down," and that he sees "the market is pricey... in our view, priced for perfection." It seems he is not alone in the 'buy-low-sell-high' crowd. If wonderful times are ahead for U.S. financial markets, then why is so much of the smart money heading for the exits?  Does it make sense for insiders to be getting out of stocks and real estate if prices are just going to continue to go up?

 

 

April Core Retail Sales Were Just Revised From A 100% Beat To A Miss

When two weeks ago we reported on the core retail sales "beat", we were surprised. Here's why: "Retail sales ex autos were in line with expectations at -0.1%, on expectations of a -0.2% print, but it was the sales number ex-autos and gas which surprised the most, rising 0.6% on expectations of a +0.3% increase, up from a -0.1% decline." We are no longer surprised. Reuters has the answer: US APRIL RETAIL SALES EX-AUTOS/GASOLINE REVISED TO +0.2 PCT (PREV +0.6 PCT) And, as a reminder, the consensus was for a +0.3% print. So instead of a 100% beat relative to consensus, it was a 50% miss. Why did this happen: from the Census Bureau: "retail sales estimates were revised to reflect the introduction of a new sample, new seasonal factors, and results of the 2011 Annual Retail Trade Survey." Of course, the algos who bid stocks up on the flashing read headline of this now outdated and flawed "beat", will certainly go back and sell all the stocks they were otherwise going to buy, since it is now a "miss."

 

 

Consumers Most Confident Since 2007, Celebrate By Biggest Spending Drop In One Year

It doesn't get any better than this. For the fifth month in a row, UMich consumer confidence has beaten expectations and its final print at 84.5 for May is the highest in six years. This 'confidence' survey fits with the conference board's exuberance also. We can only assume that it is the one-year high mortgage rates and considerably lower-than-expected income and spending that is driving it? As a gentle reminder, the US consumer was this cock-a-hoop just before the market last topped in Q3 2007 - so we are not sure if it is 'useful' for anyone but a self-aggrandizing anchoring-biased asset-gatherer. Current economic conditions (at Oct 2007 highs) are surging (as are expectations) by their most since Sep 2009. Of course, in perfect 'correlation' with this 'confidence', these consumers decided that May was the first time in a year to cut spending...

 

 

Chicago PMI Soars To Highest Since March 2012 Crashing Expectations, Respondents Despondent

So much for all the other diffusion indices, both around the world and in the US, telegraphing manufacturing contraction. Three minutes before its official release, the rumor was that the subscribers had seen a 58.7 print, on expectations of a 50.0 number, and up from 49.0 Sure enough, this is just what happened when the official number hit, leading the Chicago PMI to the highest print since March 2012: a 8 sigma beat to the consensus print and far higher than the biggest forecast. And while last time the plunge in the PMI was bullish for stocks as it meant no Tapering, today the beat is also bullish because it means QE is working, and as a result the stock market has wiped out all earlier losses. Looking at the report, backlogs, deliveries and employment all snapped out of sub 50 contraction, while production soared from 49.9 to a ridiculous 62.7. Even employment soared from 48.7 to 56.9. Amusingly, the only thing that dipped in April was Inventories, down from 40.6 to 40.4.

 

 

Up, Up And Away: At Least Something Is Going "Straight Up"

Sadly, that "something" has nothing to do with the real economy, but it has everything to do with the stock market which is all that matters to the Fed. Presenting the Adjusted Reserves held by Fed banks: it is, logically, at a fresh all time high. This is the low-powered money that due to capital allocation preferences continues to go, every day for the past 4 years, not into the broader economy (blame it on the 2s10s, or the disastrous state of the US consumer who has no desire for loans, or what have you) but straight into the S&P500. Since the full blown launch of QE3 excess bank reserves have grown by $500 billion, or roughly a 30% increase in six months. Which is also the reason why the S&P has correlated not with any actual fundamental data, but only this chart for the past 6 or so months.

 

 

Europe's Scariest Chart Goes Parabolic

Ireland has seen its youth unemployment rate drop for 10 of the last 11 months and has dropped to a 'mere' 26.6% - the lowest since July 2010 - in what is truly the only possible silver lining in today's absolutely dreadful data release. All four of the other PIIGS nations now have broken the dismal Maginot Line of 40% youth unemployment with Italy finally joining the club (Italy 40.5%, Portugal 42.5%, Spain 58.2%, and Greece 62.5%). What is even more concerning is that not only are these rates extremely high but they are accelerating with all four of these dark nations seeing their rates rising faster than in recent months (this was the 2nd fastest rise in Greek youth unemployment ever). Overall, Europe's youth unemployment rate continues to march higher (to 24.4%) having not fallen for 24 months, but it is Spain that is the 'winner' with 41 consecutive months without a drop in youth unemployment. With welfare benefits running dry, and Sweden and Switzerland already running hot, we fear this summer may bring the much-feared unrest so many have been concerned about.

 

April Income Lower Than Expected, Leads To Weaker Spending; Savings Rate At Unsustainable Lows

In yet another confirmation that the US consumer continues to get slammed, and is respectively slamming the GDP by spending less, today's April personal spending and personal income both missed expectations, printing flat and declining -0.2% from the March numbers, much as expected following the Q1 spending spree, which means that economic growth in Q2 and onward as a function of consumer spending will only "taper" going forward especially with the delayed impacts of the payroll tax negative effect on spending finally starting to trickle down. What's worse, is that since incomes did not improve in April, the savings rate remained flat at a minuscule 2.5%, or just off the lowest its has been since the start of the Second Great Fed-propped Depression.

 

All Time Record Gold Transactions Reported By LBMA

Weakness in gold and silver is leading to robust demand internationally as store of value buyers accumulate gold and silver on this dip. This is particularly the case in Asia where premiums remain robust and supply demand imbalances remain. The persistent strong demand of this week began on the price falls in April. This demand is clearly seen in the London gold and silver trading data released by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) yesterday. London gold trading jumped to a 20 month high in April and silver volumes surged 25% after the price falls led to an increase in physical buying, the LBMA said in a report. Trading in gold averaged 24.1 million ounces a day in the London market, the most for any month since gold reached record nominal highs in August 2011, the LBMA said in a statement yesterday as reported by Bloomberg.  The 24.1 million ounces was a 10% increase on March when 21.8 million ounces a day were traded. Silver volume surged nearly 25% to 165.2 million ounces a day, up from 132.5 million ounces in March. There were 5,395 gold transactions on average per day, the highest on record, while silver transfers at 1,007 a day were the second-highest ever, according to the report.

 

 

For Whom The Bell Tolls

The European Union is leading the nations of Europe nowhere. They have sat there and languished in their own self-adoration, propped up their egos on self-congratulation and flounced recitals of praise fluffed and huffed by one politician and told to another. They have a central bank promising what cannot be delivered and they have used up all of their capital to buy the debt they have created to support the artifice. Then having mutilated the pension funds of their citizens and having pressured every money manager on the Continent they congratulate themselves on their lower yields. They see a road without end; we can see the end. They congratulate themselves; we yawn as the mumbo jumbo continues.

America's Bubble Economy Is Going To Become An Economic Black HoleWhat is going to happen when the greatest economic bubble in the history of the world pops?  The mainstream media never talks about that.  They are much too busy covering the latest dogfights in Washington and what Justin Bieber has been up to.  And most Americans seem to think that if the Dow keeps setting new all-time highs that everything must be okay.  Sadly, that is not the case at all. Right now, the U.S. economy is exhibiting all of the classic symptoms of a bubble economy. What we are witnessing right now is the calm before the storm.  Let us hope that it lasts for as long as possible so that we can have more time to prepare. Unfortunately, this bubble of false hope will not last forever.  At some point it will end, and then the pain will begin.  http://albertpeia.com/usbubbleeconomicblackhole.htm

WHAT I LEARNED FROM DEAD PEOPLE By Rodney Johnson, Editor, Survive & Prosper 
Dear Al, No, Im not channeling the movie The Sixth Sense. I dont see or hear dead people but I do learn from them.
In this case, it
s regarding the oft-quoted statistic that life expectancy has increased by thirty years since 1900. Back then, people lived to the age of 48. Today theyre living to the ripe old age of 78. Thats weird, dont you think?
That figure implies that in 1900 there were no
old people, or that old was anyone near 50. No gray haired people? No 70-year-old grandparents kicking around?
That doesn
t make sense.

So I checked into it

Sure enough, the average age of death for a man in 1900 was 48. The average age of death for a man today is just over 78. That is indeed a 30-year difference.

HOWEVER

If I look at the rate of death by age, the numbers get skewed.

Yes, the average age of death in 1900 was 48, BUT over 15% of the deaths occurred before the age of five. This enormous number of deaths before the age of five had the effect of dramatically lowering the average age of death in those days. For many of those who made it past five years old, they survived well into their 70s and 80s, which is much closer to what wed expect, given our knowledge of relatives and people at the time.

Interestingly, we commonly attribute the extension of life to advances in health science that allow us to live into old age. The reality is that advances in health science stopped us from dying as children.

This is yet another example of misleading averages. When you dig just a little deeper its immediately obvious that the average age of death in 1900 is a pretty useless number. The same thing happens in the world of investing...

Since 1926, the average return on large cap stocks has been around 9%. That seems pretty good. Id like a 9% return each year.

But of course the return is not 9% every year, its just the average. In fact, the returns are quite spread out. Technically speaking, the returns have a wide dispersion from the mean. So if the average return is 9%, but theres a wide dispersion from this number, then how do we know what to expect each year?

Good question.

Most, if not all, financial software uses normal distributions and standard deviations to calculate expected returns for investments. Without getting too complicated, the software assumes that the returns are normally distributed (like a bell curve), with a set standard deviation (or how far each year strays from the expectation of the average).

So the average return of large cap stocks may be 9%, but the standard deviation is 19%.

To be 99% sure that your estimate of next years return is correct, you must be willing to accept a range of returns. In this case, that range is three standard deviations above and below the average of 9%. You read that correctly. To be 99% sure not 100%, mind you that you have a good estimate of next years return on large cap stocks, you must be willing to accept a range of returns from 9% minus 57% (three standard deviations below) to 9% plus 57% (three standard deviations above). In other words, a range of negative 48% to positive 66%, or a 114% spread around the expectation of 9%!

What kind of planning is that?!

Who in their right mind would invest in something with the thought that its okay to have anywhere from a loss of almost 50% to a gain of more than 60% each year?

Thats crazy!

And yet thats the exact way most financial software operates.

If you suddenly feel less sure about buying and holding equities, and have less faith in the statement that over the long term, equities go up, join the club!

There are better ways.

Instead of simply plodding along, buying and holding with the hope that it all works out in the end, be proactive! Take an active role in estimating the risk and reward potential of markets, industries, and individual securities. Look across the economic landscape at the different forces that are driving markets at the moment and ask yourself: Does all this make sense? If the answer is No, then you could be set to experience the low end of the expectation range for equities! Rodney

MarketWatch  Hunting the last bear Wall Street needs its own Endangered Species Act since it seems everyone is now a bull.  By John Nyaradi ‘… It seems that everyone on Wall Street is a bull today as the S&P 500 SPX +0.41% and Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.32%  have settled into a predictable routine of "another day, another record," despite the steady stream of negative macro economic data.

Bears, now virtually extinct, were hoping instead for a feast as the poor economic reports came pouring in over recent days:

1. April nonfarm payrolls — a mediocre 165,000 payroll jobs added which was celebrated as a huge win by markets last week.

2. ISM nonmanufacturing report showed a decline to 53.1, broadly missing expectations.

3. April manufacturing ISM report posted a drop to 50.7 from 51.3 in March. Because 50 is the threshold which distinguishes contraction from expansion, the April manufacturing PMI fell to just barely within the expansionary range.

4. Euro-zone manufacturing PMI for April declined to 46.7 from 46.8 in March while euro-zone retail sales declined by 0.1% in March. For the 27-nation European Union, March retail sales fell by 0.2%,

5. Euro-zone unemployment came in at 12.1% in March.

6. April's HSBC China Composite PMI (which covers both manufacturing and services) declined to 51.1 from 53.5 in March, indicating the weakest rate of expansion since last October. Hong Kong's PMI also settled into contractionary territory at 49.9, down from 50.5 in March.

Despite all the bad economic news, Wall Street bears look positively cadaverous as financial markets levitate higher and seemingly disconnect from the real economy. This disconnect is generating an expanding discussion, and even a name, "The Great Disconnect," which has followed "The Great Recession," as Wall Street's fortunes look decidedly different from those on Main Street.

Everyone seems to be in agreement that the recent financial levitation has been generated by global central banks, and during his presentation at last week's 10th annual Strategic Investment Conference, presented by Altegris Investments and John Mauldin, Pimco's Mohamed El-Erian emphasized that investors must be ready for the "hand off" by central banks, when the era of assisted support gives way to the era of organic growth.

Even the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett, has joined the discussion by saying that when the Federal Reserve finally raises interest rates from their current near-zero level, it will be the "shot heard around the world".

As the discussion grows louder, the Federal Reserve seems to be coming under ever intensifying pressure, and that was in evidence last week when the Fed announced that it would continue its bond-buying program. known as quantitative easing. Longtime Fed critic Ron Paul emphasized that the program works only to the advantage of big bankers and politicians, while hurting middle-class and impoverished Americans. Warren Buffett echoed a similar theme when he pointed out — at Berkshire Hathaway's BRK.A +0.96% annual shareholders' meeting in Nebraska — that the Fed's quantitative easing program has made life difficult for people who live on fixed-income investments…’   {  Modern 1920’s redux … all we need are ‘flappers’!  }

Bubble Logic By Harry S. Dent Jr., Editor, Survive & Prosper Wednesday, May 08, 2013   

Dear Al,  Bubble logic has taken over.  Everyone (it seems) has put lipstick on the elephant in the room and is now patting themselves on the back. Champaign glasses are clinking, party hats are adorned. Oh happy days!

Of course, Im talking about the latest surge in markets. Dow over 15,000 S&P 500 over 1,600.

Life is good. The Fed will keep stimulating. Stocks are climbing a wall of worry. The economy keeps improving. Look, even the unemployment situation isnt so bad anymore.

At which point I must stop and ask: has everyone gone nuts?!

This is the way it always looks as a bubble is topping.

ALWAYS.

And history backs me up on that

The first major bubble in recorded history was the Dutch tulips bubble tulip mania. Insignificant little tulip bubbles were trading on the first futures markets and investors just started bidding them higher and higher for a few years until they went to more ridiculous levels than any bubble in current times. At the peak, tulip prices rose 20-fold in a single month!

It was the first time that people demonstrated the reality that, as long as other people thought something was worth a lot, prices could go way beyond any rational level, until the bubble burst

And bubbles always burst. People are greedy little bastards and cant resist easy profits.

We have seen one bubble after another since the 1980s. There was the 1987 stock bubble. The early 2000s tech stock bubble. The 2006 real estate bubble. The 2007 stock bubble, which was more around emerging markets. Now we have the 2013 bubble.

Since early 2009, stocks have gone up even faster and further than they did in the 2003 2007 bubble. But this time, its the Fed driving the bus.

Past bubbles were just exaggerations of strong fundamental economic trends. But this one has come from massive injections of money into the economy to keep the banks from failing. That money keeps the economy barely growing, but more importantly, it gets reinvested and pushes up stock prices and financial assets in general.

Its taking $2 trillion in stimulus $1 trillion in fiscal deficits and $1 trillion in QE or monetary injections to create a mere $300 billion in GDP growth. Imagine where our economy would be without such massive stimulus. Wed be in a depression, not just a recession.

This recovery, this stock market surge, is entirely generated by government stimulus, here and around the world. But Wall Street doesnt care. A market on crack, just wants more crack, and they keep getting it.

Our first forecast was that there would be strong resistance at 1,600 on the S&P 500 as that represented a trend-line through the tops of the last two bubbles in early 2000 and late 2007. We call this a megaphone pattern: higher highs in each bubble followed by lower lows in each crash to follow.

Now that this level is broken, we see the next major resistance coming from the Dow again in the months ahead. Should we break that level, then there is no resistance. But we doubt it will. Ultimately well see a major top, likely later this year.

SEAL Team 6 Families to Blame Government For Deaths

Paul Joseph Watson | Never before revealed information to be aired at press conference.

 

Robert D. Cubby (Retired Police Captain) ‘It was fitting and gratifying to see after 40 years, that piece of garbage Joanne Chesimard FINALLY declared a terrorist and put on the most wanted list. We knew that 40 years ago but it took this country that long to realize that, yes, this country can produce terrorists capable and willing to kill its citizens and police officers. Her and her group declared war on law enforcement when she killed Werner Foster, NJ State Trooper on the Turnpike during that car stop. Now to treat her like we treat all terrorists. Your days are numbered bitch!!!!!!!!!!’  { I second that emotion and agree 100%! }

“Bin Laden” Heroes Probably Murderered to Keep Them Quiet  ... Gordon Duff Veterans Today

FLASHBACK: Eyewitness to OBL Raid Saw Helicopter Explode (TRANSCRIPT) [ As indicated on this albertpeia.com website, I didn’t buy the administration’s desperate and politically opportunist Osama event and still don’t buy it; and further, I believe this! ]Veterans Today | TRANSCRIPT of critical interview with Pakistani eyewitness to Bin Laden raid. Is this the key to SEAL Team 6′s demise?

“Bin Laden” Heroes Probably Murderered to Keep Them Quiet  Gordon Duff  Veterans Today August 7, 2011 | Some Possibly Killed in Abbottabad Helicopter Crash Months Before. [ As indicated on this albertpeia.com website, I didn’t buy the administration’s desperate and politically opportunist Osama event and still don’t buy it; and further, I believe this! ] Today 31 NATO troops, 20 of them Navy Seals from the Osama bin Laden operation died in what is reported as a helicopter crash in Afghanistan.

The chance of this story being true is almost nil. The chances of this being a staged coverup is over 80%. We believe these people were murdered to silence them. This is why.

We have solid information on two areas:

1. Osama bin Laden died in 2001 as an active CIA employee and his body was recovered in Afghanistan and taken to the sand box. We were told it was frozen. We have so much verification from this, CIA, ISI, US military and top officials. I have a direct confirmation from Bin Ladens CIA handler who I grilled mercilessly on this.

2. The Abbottabad operation involved numerous American deaths, witnessed, bodies all over, a helicopter crash. (suppressed translated TV interview below) These bodies were recovered by land vehicle from Islamabad and there was NO successful bin Laden operation of any kind. There was and has been a CIA safe house in Abbotabad where terror suspects were stored for years.

This gave the US several areas of severe vulnerability. Generally, Navy Seals are the best people in the world at keeping their mouths shut, these are real team players, as the term Seal Team belies.

We at VT were informed that the bin Laden operation was staged at this time, a theatrical farce, to cover the exit of Secretary Gates, the move by former CIA Director Leon Panetta into the DOD as Secretary of Defense and to stem any heroic claims by new CIA Director Petraeus of killing the long dead Osama bin Laden, the long frozen CIA operative.

Petraeus is a possible presidential contender and had to be denied this gift from heaven, a fast track to the oval office for sure.

Again, I remind you, I went over specific meetings on bin Laden with his handlers, getting every last detail. I have watched what has gone on, the continuing need to vilify a long dead top CIA operative to provide residual cover for the Bush administration

The reason? Bush and his cronies are all facing charges of war crimes, not just in minor jurisdictions but heading for the ICC, putting them on the dock with Gaddafi ( a far less harmful character).

As for the timing of this incident? This we will work on. What we can easily surmise is that some of the dead have been dead since their bodies were taken away from the helicopter crash site in Abbotabad.

Who would order such a thing? We are going to have to wait but we are going to find out. However, we expected this, the timing is exactly as predicted. Read full article }

The Financial Press: A Disinformation Machine   Paul Craig Roberts | Let’s take a walk through the BLS report and you can arrive at your own conclusion.   { All bad news and these ever more worthless commissioned-paper (actually not even) shares at lightning computerized speed are rallying … just like zimbawee (the best performing stock-market of the decade past) … and just like zimbabwee, they’re all a bunch of niggers on wall street (their QE welfare everyone’s paying for included) … no wonder this country’s done/in protracted decline! This is an all too familiar scam that as before, everyone is and will be paying for. How does it feel to be dumb! [Parenthetically, just this moment, an ‘equities expert’ (on one of those syndicated business programs, NBR-just bought out by cnbc which means they just got a lot dumber and I had to turn it off and will never watch NBR again…nbc is a horrible propaganda network (finishing deservingly last among the so-called ‘majors’), mobsters like trump on that ‘apprentice thing’ with toothy nutcases like gary busey, etc.. ‘No credibility whatsoever and a total joke!) said house prices (as well as the ‘paper shares’, gas, oil, food staples, meat, etc.) are rising (duh! … contraindicated implication-‘happy days are here again’)… riiiiight … just like zimbabwee! How pathetic! ]
Goldman 'Explains' The 'Market': "Best Not To Look A Gift-Horse In The Mouth" ZH { Riiiiight! Sounds like a plan! The ‘gift-horse’ that’s … not a gift-horse at all … You’re paying through your nose and teeth. It was amusing to see mainstream media puzzling over the record high gas prices so early in this time of year, and as well, the coming jump in beef prices. There’s no mystery here! This is the natural and inevitable concomitant to ‘printing presses gone wild’. Not printing presses for product for intellectual consumption; but rather, printing presses (whether by print or computer ledger entry) for those ever more worthless paper fiat dollars backed by nothing but insurmountable debt of a defacto bankrupt nation. Remember: There’s no free lunch … fraudulent wall street’s predictable/intended gain (from QE, currency debasement, etc.) is your substantial pain! It’s the zimbabwee financial model gone american …  ,   Kyle Bass Tells 'Nominal' Stock Market Cheerleaders: Remember Zimbabwe Amid the euphoria of today's crossing of the Dow's Maginot Line at 14,000, Kyle Bass provided a few minutes of sanity this morning in an interview with CNBC's Gary Kaminsky. Bass starts by reflecting on the ongoing (and escalating) money-printing (or balance sheet expansion as we noted here) as the driver of stock movements currently and would not be surprised to see them move higher still (given the ongoing printing expected). However, he caveats that nominally bullish statement with a critical point, "Zimbabwe's stock market was the best performer this decade - but your entire portfolio now buys you 3 eggs" as purchasing power is crushed. Investors, he says, are "too focused on nominal prices" as the rate of growth of the monetary base is destroying true wealth. Bass is convinced that cost-push inflation is coming (as the velocity of money will move once psychology shifts) and investors must not take their eye off the insidious nature of underlying inflation - no matter what we are told by the government (as they will always lie when its critical)…”  ,  Post-Hyperinflationary Zimbabwe Welcomes The Holidays With 80% Unemployment, Empty ATMs And Paralyzed Transport  { Just another typical nigger! Speaking of niggers, if wobama is given the opportunity as he has thus far, he’ll tread the same path as fellow nigger mugabe. } … Zimbabweans are facing bleak holidays this year amid rising poverty, food and cash shortages and political uncertainty, with some describing it as the worst since the formation of the coalition government in the southern African nation.... Banks have closed, ATMs have run out of cash and transport services have been paralyzed." It gets worse: "Zimbabwe's unemployment is pegged at around 80 percent with many people in Harare, the capital, eking out a living by selling vegetables and fruits on street corners." And all of this is after the massive economic imbalances in Zimbabwe's economy should have been "fixed" (or so conventional economic theory would have one believe) courtesy of hyperinflation, which left any savers in tatters, destroyed the value of the old currency, benefited solely debtors  but also allowed a fresh start to a government, which could only remain in power due to a violent power grab by the democratically elected-turned-dictator Robert Mugabe.  }

DOW 15,000 + TIME TO GET SCARED BY RODNEY JOHNSON, EDITOR, SURVIVE & PROSPER  www.survive-prosper.com

Dear Al, Its happened. The Dow broke through the 15,000 mark.

I can only imagine the string of four letter words going through Harrys mind right now

Hes in a conference in Orlando, working with business owners and entrepreneurs, but I know he has an eye on his phone, watching the broad market indices hit new highs.

Ive no doubt hes railing against the Fed, the ECB, and the BoJ, as each entity (along with other large central banks) has a hand in driving equity prices to crazy highs in the face of anemic economic numbers, all the while siphoning off value from savers and bondholders.

His anger is not abstract.

Hes not ticked because banksters are causing a huge bubble hes ticked because of what comes next, and what that means to you and everyday investors.

Stability creates its own instability. It is a weird statement, but it has a lot of power…

Hyman Minsky described the process well. He pointed out that, over time, stability (or the lack of volatility) creates instability because people become accustomed to the status quo and then take on more risk than they should.

Oh, the markets are going up again? Of course they are. The Fed is printing $85 billion a month to make sure of it.

Are the manufacturing and trade numbers bad? No worries, the markets are going up again anyway; the Fed is making sure of it.

Is the European Union (EU) is in recession? No problem, the ECB has pledged to take care of it, and the markets are going up again

At this point we all know the game. Whatever happens, wherever on the planet it happens, the markets wont go down because the Fed doesnt want them to. Right up until the system collapses on itself, that is.

Right up until people realize that we added jobs, but fewer jobs than the number of people who joined the labor force.

Right up until people realize that we added 278,000 part-time jobs because people couldnt find full-time work.

Right up until people realize that unemployment in the EU is now over 12% and going higher.

Right up until people recognize that the EU is in recession.

But until then, the markets are marching higher, propped up by the central banks around the world, who continually tell us not to worry, because theyre here to make sure nothing bad ever happens.

The longer this situation goes on, the worse the eventual downturn becomes. THAT is what makes Harry so angry.

This knowledge is not lost on central bankers. They are not dumb. Why would they continually feed crack to an addict, when the obvious but painful choice should be detox?

Because no one wants to be the person to pull the plug. No one wants to be the person who acknowledges the actual size and scope of the debt crisis that never went away, but was just pushed under the rug and hidden by trillions of newly printed dollars, yen, and euro.

With the markets at new highs today, the path isnt clear. How long can central banks keep up the charade? How long will people blindly follow the pied pipers of finance? We dont know, but we dont want to be hanging around to find out!

We maintain tight control over our portfolio in Boom & Bust, holding equities that are gaining while the craziness lasts, but focusing mostly on income producing securities that give us some cushion. The goal is to make money while we can, and yet remain vigilant as we watch for the signs to get out.

And we maintain our view that cracks will appear in the markets this summer.

There is definitely greater danger ahead.

Stay alert.
Rodney

Welcome Back Recession: Chicago PMI Implodes To 49, First Sub-50 Print Since September 2009 TOTAL COLLAPSE. That is the only way to explain what just happened with the Chicago PMI which imploded from 52.4, and printed at a contractionary 49: the first sub-50 headline print since September 2009. But that's not all: Deliveries, Prices Paid and Production all hit their lowest since 2009; Backlogs posted their tenth month of contraction in the past 12 months. And what's worst for the Department of Making Shit Up, Employment plunged from 551. to 48.7, its third month over month decline. Actually another way to phrase it: complete disaster. Obviously this number explains why S&P should have no problems crossing 1,600 today. Because for that other Department: of Propaganda and Creating money out of thin air, this means only one thing: the Fed is preparing to print ONE KROOGOL MORE!

Macro Collapse Pushes S&P 500 To New All-Time Nominal High And Close "Horrible" PMI, no problem; just add it to the list of macro data that has missed significantly in recent weeks. Bloomberg's US Macro index has utterly collapse in recent weeks - now at its worst level in 7 months but apparently if good is good, bad is better, and totally shitty is absolutely awesome. It would appear the world of nominal equity index chasers is now fully cognizant that the reality of their lemming like herding is based on one simple thing (no matter how much they kick and scream and proclaim wisdom about earnings cycles, growth, margins, transformative energy, or new AAPL products) - and that is... Central Bank promises. If the Fed needed any ammo for tomorrow to hint that there is a time frame longer than infinite and that there is a size of imprudence larger than infinity, then they have it... of course, there is, once gain, very weak volume on this uptick (but like everything else, that doesn't matter either.)

The same applies to most market forecasts. With some rare exceptions (like our commodity analysts? recent prescient call for a slump in the gold price), analysts don?t like to stand out from the crowd. It is dangerous and career-challenging. In that vein, we repeat our key forecasts of the S&P Composite to bottom around 450, accompanied by sub-1% US 10y yields and gold above $10,000."

We are in the midst of a long-term economic collapse that is eating away at us like cancer, and things are going to get a lot worse than this.  So if you still live in a prosperous area of the country, don't laugh at what is happening to others.  What is happening to them will be coming to your area soon enough.    http://albertpeia.com/americanhellholes.htm

Where Do The Rich And Poor Live?From counties with a 50%-plus poverty rate to counties with over 20% of household incomes over $200,000, the United States is increasingly becoming a divided union.

THE MAN WHO PREDICTED JAPANS LOST DECADE THE RECESSION OF 1990-92 THE BIGGEST BULL MARKET RUN IN U.S. HISTORY AND MOST RECENTLY, THE 2008 CREDIT CRISIS AND STOCK MARKET CRASH NOW PREDICTS:

"DOW 3300!"  http://albertpeia.com/dow3300.htm

 

Yes, today the Dow Jones Average may be near historic highs…
but it won’t be for long! The Dow
will drop.

 

*  Unemployment will move higher again, to roughly 15% nationwide. It could go as high as 25%

when you include long-term unemployed in the numbers.

 

*  Housing prices will fall an additional 30%, despite the biggest stimulus plan in history and the

lowest mortgage rates in 40 years.

 

*  Personal bankruptcies and property foreclosures will soar as much as 30%. Consumers are

simply saddled with too much debt — $42 trillion or $140,000 for every man, woman and

child in America — for there to be any other outcome. Falling income will only make matters

worse.

 

*  State and municipal governments will be forced into default, especially at the city and country

level. Their budgets are already in crisis and the Federal Reserve is running out of money with

which to cushion these institutions.

 

*  The Federal deficit will balloon from $1.3 trillion to as much as $3 trillion because of huge revenue

shortages.

 

*  The global credit crisis – phase II – will continue to spread around the globe like a contagious

virus. Greece is already down. Spain will be next.

 

A second banking crisis will out, despite the lessons “learned” in 2008. Mortgage companies have

resumed offering low interest, no principal “teaser” loans. Investment banks have begun taking unnecessary risks again. And this time, there’ll be no money for a bailout.

 

ALL OF THIS WILL SEND THE DOW AND OTHER INDEXES TUMBLING AS MUCH AS 70%. IN FACT, WE EXPECT THE DOW TO PLUNGE BACK DOWN TO 3,300 BY LATE 2014.

Yet, there is no question but that the masses so mocked, deserve to be mocked, having embraced their dismal fate at every turn; viz., their embrace of political correctness, though contraindicated, as, ie., the embrace of the violent, destructive nigger who literally would have them for dinner, or the compulsion to embrace that which the state says is right, though contraindicated, for political expedience owing to failure fed (including the incompetent missteps of the failed fed) desperation, ie., gay marriage, etc., contrived wars / conflicts, among other clearly observable, self-interested behavior of people, companies, nations, including the gargantuan bailed out frauds on wall street to everyones (but the frauds) detriment, still unprosecuted. That the jive-talking, b***s*** artist/grifter/con-man obama has not been held to even one of his former now broken campaign promises and is embraced by those foolish enough to believe more of the same is testament to how deserving of mocking the masses truly are (people should be outraged and wobama should be ridden out on a rail). Make no mistake; the reality is that the new world order/so-called elite are not elite at all; but rather, incompetent vegetables who cant do anything right as theyve now proven time and time again.

5 things you can't resell  Marketwatch:  Despite Supreme Court ruling upholding resales, some items cause trouble. ‘A U.S. Supreme Court ruling earlier this week was a big win for consumers who value the right to resell products they have purchased — even if they bought them abroad. In the case in question, publisher John Wiley & Sons accused a former college student of infringing on its copyright when he bought less-expensive Asian versions of the publisher’s textbooks and then resold them to U.S. students on eBay. (The books, it said, were meant to be sold only in certain regions.) The court held that the so-called “first sale” doctrine — which allows that once a company sells a copyrighted product, the purchaser has the right to later resell it — applies even if the product was produced outside the U.S. But it’s not a universal right. There are some notable exceptions of items that, once bought, aren’t so easy to unload.’ — Kelli B. Grant

{ I no longer will be following Phoenix Capital Resources … too much advertising … too much propaganda … too little meaningfully relevant substance (america et al’s problems are huge). After all, with all china’s faults, not the least of which is communism (I’m definitely not their advocate), one must realistically ask, ‘what nation(s), based on lies and for the sake of military industrial complex profits (as warned against by the great but underrated President General Eisenhower) has been engaged in Orwellian perpetual war despite defacto bankruptcy and pervasive corruption’? Not China… Eureka! Amerika et als!  Inflation Calls BS on the China “Miracle”  http://albertpeia.com/inflationinchina.htm   { For the first time I’m constrained to label a piece by Mr. Summers wishful thinking and a u.s. government propaganda piece at best. While aptly pointing out chinese corruption and fraud as is particularly pervasive in america, he conveniently ignores the success of their primitive, basic, simplistic capitalist business model of low costs (primarily labor, materials, etc.) fueled particularly ab initio by american greed. Go to any store and pick up nearly any product and the likelihood of ‘made in china’ is upwards of 95% (then as well, as with apple, taking into account components). Clearly, Mr. Summers lacks depth of understanding/knowledge concerning costs of tooling, retooling, and manufacturing generally, as well as cost accounting among other business/finance disciplines. As regards their nominal communist system, I remain staunchly opposed to the invariable lie of communism, although the meaningfully lawless (‘too big to fail or jail’) and corrupt, oligarchical crony faux capitalist welfare dependent failing (and ever more socialist) system in america is hardly a laudable alternative.  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm  http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm   . The point is, america’s substantial problems are not the result of Chinese corruption; but rather, plain old american pervasive corruption and criminality. }

Guest Post: How I Became A Trillionaire (And Some Thoughts On Inflation) These photos illustrate the fundamentally arbitrary nature of fiat (paper) money. Why do we prefer the $100 greenback over the $100 trillion note issued by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe? The purchasing power of the Benjamin far exceeds the purchasing power of the $100 trillion bill. But the Benjamin is not immune to inflation; the dollar has lost about 95% of its 1900 purchasing power.  If 95% of households are experiencing a loss of purchasing power and most of the new money and credit are flowing to the top 5%, you get asset bubbles, not demand-driven inflation. When 95% of the households are poorer in terms of purchasing power and financial wealth, where can demand-driven inflation arise in a global economy of massive manufacturing and labor over-capacity? The rise in costs within industries controlled by cartels (healthcare, higher education, defense, etc.) may look like demand-driven inflation, but are actually transfers of wealth and purchasing power from households to the government-protected cartels.

Private Prisons: The More Americans They Put Behind Bars The More Money They Make

‘How would you describe an industry that wants to put more Americans in prison and keep them there longer so that it can make more money? { How ‘bout putting them, ie., wall street frauds, mobsters, ie., trumps et als,  among many others in prison because they belong there! } In America today, approximately 130,000 people are locked up in private prisons that are being run by for-profit companies, and that number is growing very rapidly.  Overall, the U.S. has approximately 25 percent of the entire global prison population even though it only has 5 percent of the total global population.  The United States has the highest incarceration rate on the entire globe by far, and no nation in the history of the world has ever locked up more of its own citizens than we have.  Are we really such a cesspool of filth and decay that we need to lock up so many of our own people? { Short answer, YES! }  Or are there some other factors at work? { That too! } Could part of the problem be that we have allowed companies to lock up men and women in cages for profit?  The two largest private prison companies combined to bring in close to $3,000,000,000 in revenue in 2010, and the largest private prison companies have spent tens of millions of dollars on lobbying and campaign contributions over the past decade.  Putting Americans behind bars has become very big business, and those companies have been given a perverse incentive to push for even more Americans to be locked up.  It is a system that is absolutely teeming with corruption, and it is going to get a lot worse unless someone does something about it { There is no question but that america is pervasively corrupt, and the vast majority inherently criminal!

The Last Laugh: Illinois Pension System Charged For Not Disclosing "Structural Underfunding"The topic of Illinois' various insolvent pension systems is not news to regular Zero Hedge readers. One needs but to recall our articles from mid/late 2010: "61% Underfunded Illinois Teachers Pension Fund Goes For Broke, Becomes Next AIG-In-Waiting By Selling Billions In CDS", "Illinois' Pension Fund Death Spiral Revisited: "10 Years Of Money Left" or "Illinois Teachers' Retirement System Enters The Death Spiral: AIG Wannabe's Go-For-Broke Strategy Fails As Pension Fund Begins Liquidations" in which we clearly explained how the state's teachers pension fund was systematically doing everything in its power to mask its massive underfunding, and the fact that it was rapidly running out of money. The retiremnet fund, in turn, took things very personally, prompting Dave Urbanek, Public Information Officer at the Teachers Retirement System of the State of Illinois (TRS), to write an impassioned response to Zero Hedge denying all allegations. Today, over two years after the above news, the SEC finally concluded their analysis of one part of the massively underfunded Illinois Pension system and found the Illinois failed to inform investors about the impact of problems with its pension funding schedule as the state offered and sold more than $2.2 billion worth of municipal bonds from 2005 to early 2009. The SEC also said Illinois failed to disclose that it had underfunded the state's pension obligations, increasing the risk to its overall financial condition.

Are Stocks Cheap?  Each and every day, we are bombarded by a never-ending series of asset-gatherers whose sole aim in life is to convince investors to put more money to work. Whether it is because 'we are climbing a wall of worry', whether 'long-term' equity investors always do well, whether the 'cash on the sidelines' is coming out (note - remember there is a seller for every buyer and a buyer for every seller); the most frequently proposed reason for buying stocks is 'because they are cheap'. No matter where they are trading - high or low - they are cheap. Well, in an attempt to suggest otherwise - or at least provide fact rather than accepted wisdom, the following two charts from Morgan Stanley's Adam Parker provide the reality that, in fact, stocks are not cheap - and given where rates are, they are in fact expensive. Empirical fact not fiction.

They should prosecute the huge wall street frauds in the trillions (as promised but unfulfilled), still extant and now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB Rule change, seek disgorgement, fines, and jail time for the perps. Social Security Disability fraud is rampant and should be eliminated. The QE welfare for wall street is bad policy and is resulting in higher than reported inflation with the fiat currency printing/creation/debasement and is following a zimbabwe economic model which led to hyperinflation/disaster but as here, higher manipulated stock prices which is the contraindicated reason for such bad policy.

30 Facts About The Coming Water Crisis That Will Change The Lives Of Every Person On The Planet

Think This Can't Happen Where You Live? Think Again...

Throughout history, bankrupt governments in decline almost ALWAYS fall back on a time-tested playbook. This includes imposing controls on everything - wage and price controls, trade controls, capital controls, border controls, people controls. Everything. And this idea goes back to the dawn of human civilization. From Mesopotamia to Rome and from France to Argentina, these policies have been a complete disaster for the country. But as the rest of the world looks on, people in rich countries foolishly believe that it cant happen here. So, again, if you think that gold criminalization, price controls, and IRA/pension confiscation could never happen where you live, think again. This is wishful, ignorant, dangerous thinking. It can happen. It is already happening.

 

 

"Mission Accomplished"

We could tell you all about the fact that high-yield credit did not play along with this rally today (and that the underlying cash market for corporate bonds has been weak for well over a week now); we could note that VIX did not take part in this surge today as the stops were run; we could point to the total lack of volume (NYSE or futures) confirming the move; we could highlight the fact that Treasury yields rose a de minimus 1.5bps on the day and while the USD slipped modestly on the day, it is only down 0.22% on the week and that Gold, Silver, and Oil are all unchanged on the week. But - all that matters, in this headline-driven algo-aided market is - The Dow hit all time highs - 'Mission Accomplished' Mr. Bernanke, well played - record stocks, record debt, record food stamps recipients.

El-Erian On Stocks: "Prices Are Artificially High - Its Time to Take Profits"

"It’s not going away, it’s going to get worse," is how PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian warns Yahoo's Lauren Lyster about central bank policy and the currency wars that are so much in discussion currently. Central banks have been compelled to undertake unconventional measures, things they haven’t done before, because other policymakers are not stepping up to take responsibility on the fiscal side. These implicit devaluations and beggar-thy-neighbor policies force a lot of liquidity into the system and by pushing up asset prices, central banks believe, create a 'weath effect'. It can also trigger “animal spirits” – we get all excited and invest more. In terms of equity markets, El-Erian says investors are split into two camps. One camp believes that everything will go higher and central banks will succeed in their efforts. The other camp believes asset prices are going to come down to meet the fundamentals. El-Erian puts himself in the second camp. “We think that prices are artificially high, that maintaining them here is going to be hard as central banks become less effective, and that it’s time to book some profits and to wait for some better entry points,” he explains. He clarifies that this is not a “Lehman moment." But “prices that have gotten way ahead of what policy can deliver,"



Goldman 'Explains' The 'Market': "Best Not To Look A Gift-Horse In The Mouth"

Good news, bad news, no news, dips, no dips, who cares. As Goldman sales/trading desk says, never look a gift-Bernanke in the mouth (especially if he ends up in a frozen lasagna at a store near you).

From GS:

A solid rally today and new cycle highs for US equities but thats where the story stops. No obvious catalyst. No bullish data. European stocks traded well, with most people pointing to a better German ZEW print, but its not clear why that would translate into such a strong US trading session. Maybe its best though not to look a gift-horse in the mouth.

One can't help but laugh at this "market."  { Riiiiight! Sounds like a plan! The ‘gift-horse’ that’s … not a gift-horse at all … You’re paying through your nose and teeth.

Global ‘credit supernova’ turns 2013 bull to bear Marketwatch

Paul B. Farrell Archives | Email alerts Feb. 9, 2013, 6:02 a.m. EST Global credit supernova turns 2013 bull into bear

Commentary: Bill Gross warns about Feds cheap-money schemes

By
Paul B. Farrell, MarketWatch

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) Bill Gross predicting a Credit Supernova. Yes, thats what the Bond King sees dead ahead. He knows, his firm has $2 trillion at risk of collapsing into the Black Hole coming after the Credit Supernova, when the Federal Reserve cheap money finally explodes in Americas face, brings down the economy, again.

Gross’s Credit Supernova metaphor is the explosive headline on his latest Pimco newsletter. So what’s a supernova? Jump over to the Space.com’s parallel universe where you’ll discover a supernova happens when a “blindingly bright star bursts into view in a corner of the night sky ... burns like a ... brilliant point of light.”

A supernova is “the explosion of a star that has reached the end of its life ... Supernovas can briefly outshine entire galaxies and radiate more energy than our sun will in its entire lifetime.”

Yes, a supernova is the “explosion of a star that has reached the end of its life.”

“End of its life?” Is America’s star economy burning out? Sure sounds like it: Gross is doing more than just hinting with his Credit Supernova metaphor. He’s predicting the collapse of the American economy and global financial markets, far worse than the 2008 Wall Street bank credit collapse, worse than the 2000 dot-com crash.

As the folks over at Business Insider put it: “Investment banks have morphed markets with ‘Ponzi Finance.’ And time is almost up.”

Feds Ponzi scheme: Credit expansion killing economic growth

Business Insider’s Matthew Boesler summarized Gross’s rather cryptic metaphor this way: Gross’s newsletter “tackles the relationship between credit expansion and real growth” where under Bernanke the Fed’s cheap-money bubble makes our monetary problems get bigger as the Fed keeps kicking them down the road.

So the Fed’s “Ponzi Finance” must run its printing presses full blast to pump more and more credit into the economy “just to cover increasingly burdensome interest payments, with accelerating inflation the end result.”

The problem is huge: Bernanke’s Ponzi Finance is self-sabotaging. Endless cheap money upsets the balance between credit expansion and real economic growth, resulting in diminishing returns: “Each additional dollar of credit seems to create less and less heat. In the 1980s, it took four dollars of new credit to generate $1 of real GDP. Over the last decade, it has taken $10, and since 2006, $20 to produce the same result.” Bad news.

Yes, Wall Street and central banks worldwide are the engine driving Bernanke’s Ponzi scheme straight into a Credit Supernova bubble. Why? Because in the past generation more and more of the Fed’s new credit was channeled into market speculation, distorting the balance between markets and the real economy.

“Investment banking, which only a decade ago promoted small-business development and transition to public markets, now is dominated by leveraged speculation and the Ponzi Finance.”

Gross warns: As a result, “our credit-based financial markets and the economy it supports are levered, fragile and increasingly entropic — it is running out of energy and time. When does money run out of time? The countdown begins when investable assets pose too much risk for too little return; when lenders desert credit markets for other alternatives such as cash or real assets,” a trend that’s already accelerating as more and more investors wise up to Wall Street’s dangerous Ponzi Finance, anticipating that a Credit Supernova will soon bring down Bernanke’s totally mismanaged monetary system, probably in 2013, months before his scheduled retirement.

After Credit Supernova will banks see the light ... or stay blinded?

Alan Blinder is familiar to Wall Street Journal readers and investors. The former vice chair of the Federal Reserve just published “After the Music Stopped: The Financial Crisis, the Response, and the Work Ahead.” His recent New York Times op-ed piece is a perfect playbook of what’s coming after Wall Street’s Credit Supernova explodes.

Blinder opens by quoting Hegel: “What experience and history teaches us is that people and governments have never learned anything from history.” But then Blinder adds, “actually, I think people do learn. The problem is that they forget, sometimes amazingly quickly. That seems to be happening today, even though recovery from the economic debacle of 2008-9 is far from complete. Evidence of this forgetting is everywhere.”

His list of Wall Street’s mental blocks is all too familiar. They are blind, in denial. So Blinder “encapsulates what we must remember about the financial crisis into 10 financial commandments, all of which were brazenly violated in the years leading up to the crisis.”

Imagine his frustration, like Moses coming down from the mountain, seeing the people partying, honoring false idols, the golden calf of profits. Wall Street did the same, forgot in 2000, forgot again in 2008, went back to the same old tricks.

21 Signs That U.S. Public Schools Have Become Training Centers For Sexual Deviancy

[  25 Signs American Women Are Being Destroyed By The Sexual Revolution And Our Promiscuous Culture

http://albertpeia.com/uspromiscuity.htm  { I’m constrained to say that grammar, junior high, and high school in the suburban town in which I grew up were not at all like that; and, far more conservative and restrained. I’ve included the following previous reference/link as a matter of disclosure and so as not to appear as a hypocrite in the context of this referenced subject:  Drudgereport: STUDY: Girls As Young As 6 See Themselves As Sex Objects... { Wow! This is really quite alarming and bespeaks america’s new-found perverse, third-world uncivilized status, which is ‘picked up’ by kids who in some ways are smarter than given credit for with a vulnerable longing to please, be accepted in light of their powerless position in our ever more deteriorating society. For the record, personally, I’ve never had a virgin though I’ve been in a position to; that’s something I just don’t do. Never have, never wanted to, never would, never will! Moreover, with the prevalence of sick pedophiles and kiddie-porn, it’s not so surprising that kids might pick up on such abominable vibes. It is difficult to imagine that little girls could be the objects of such horror as, ie., Samantha Runnion ( who was kidnapped, sexually abused and strangled by a man who lured her from her front yard by telling her he had lost his dog. Her naked body was found the next day by a hiker in Cleveland National Forest, 50 miles southeast of Stanton.[1] The autopsy revealed that she died from compression. A sample of the kidnapper's DNA was found under her fingernail. The suspect, a Lake Elsinore, California, man named Alejandro Avila, was convicted of first degree murder with special circumstances in May 2005. His DNA was found on Samantha's body, and her DNA was found in his car. He was arrested three days after the abduction. Avila had previously been to the condominium complex where Samantha lived, because his ex-girlfriend resided there and he had been previously acquitted of molesting her daughter and niece. On May 16, 2005, the jury recommended he receive the death penalty. On July 22, 2005, Avila was formally sentenced to death. He is incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison on death row ). As an aside, I’ve included the following for the record as well: Though I’ve had many consensual sexual liasons with many different female sexual partners (mid-hundreds) all of whom I liked, I’ve never, ever resorted to prostitutes. The accidental exceptions included two ‘call girls’; one having met at summer beach town bar matinee and who was ‘not working’ (as it turned out the reason being she was at the end of her menstrual cycle). The other at a grocery store with her daughter which made such in my mind, unlikely. As it turned out, both were ‘nymphomaniacs’ (which, truth be told, made for quite an exceptional sexual romp) and I simplistically inferred/surmised without dwelling on the subject that they probably expected they’d have inordinate amounts of sex anyway and might as well get paid for it – of course I didn’t nor was I asked to pay. The other incident I’m including here for the record concerned an absolutely beautiful (blonde hair, blue eyes, pretty, cute, perfectly built/proportioned – make no mistake, however, I like brunettes also) girl I met at a bar called ‘the Red Ranch’, later changed to ‘Harpoon Willy’s’. At closing, we immediately became amorous, near intimate to a point in my car with abrupt ‘resistance’ at the ‘crucial moments’. When I finally, ‘exasperated’, asked ‘what’s up’, she stated she had recently broken up with her boyfriend who had gone too far in the ‘sado-masochistic’ ritual behavior they were, and she still was into. I told her I wasn’t into it  (I don’t connect sex with sado-masochism); never would, never did, never will. We talked for quite some time and she explained her ‘predisposition’ the (her perceived) consequence of her strict, puritanical upbringing and feelings of guilt concomitant with sexual activity requiring coincident punishment/pain when so engaged. I was busy with law school evenings, work full-time, and teaching at a local college part-time and parted ways without taking her number and never did see her again. }   ]

 

Video Of The Day: Regulators Squirm When Asked About "Too Big to Jail"

This video has been going around for a few days, but wow.  Very powerful and could be effective in knocking some sense into more sheeple if it gets spread widely enough. Its an absolute joke that these people being questioned by Senator Elizabeth Warren are supposed hold the banks to task. She also makes the key point how ordinary citizens are constantly harassed by the authorities for what are in many cases petty and victimless crimes, while the bankers who have unleashed more destruction than anyone else, get slaps on the wrist.  Every single American should watch this short clip.

Dear Mr. Green Et Als:

I frankly have been immediately involved as follows:

Ive not posted to my website, etc., (except for myahoo daily news since the dates are already posted), since 2-08-13 because its the lunar new year and Chinese markets are not open …… just kidding! .. because Im on vacation just kidding again! ..actually, because Im backing up my entire website to one of my laptops. Its taking longer than anticipated as I now enter the fourth day of download (has taken five days, total) [through no fault of Time Warner they offer a superfast internet service/connection for more money which is far more than I need relative to cost though truth be told, I lamented it would have been handy for this time-consuming, laborious/tedious task (requiring surface attention, ie., file overwrites, preventing automatic shutdown for installation of windows updates, etc., interrupting the FTP flow) which I didnt want to foul by usurping bandwith/memory for this mundane endeavor]. The new HP laptop with extra-large disk space running windows 8 which I specifically bought for this intended purpose of backup became problematic inasmuch as the screen-saver was not readily turned off as is easily discernible and accomplished in other windows op systems and which cut out my ftp connection (filezilla courtesy of mozilla/firefox is great) when operative. The fixes as per google search either werent present in this windows 8 offering or, from my perspective, not worth the risk (one such was a registry editing program/script that disabled screensaver which I could not and did not risk remember, with google/nsa links you see what they want you to see, which of itself is informational). I thereupon used a crossover cable to transfer files from my other laptop which Im using for the backup files - windows 8 saw it just fine which had not been the case with prior windows versions when I tried same. Interestingly (or not), and I cant even say how, on the new windows 8 laptop, after some belated tinkering, up popped an AMD power/vision window which allowed for my never entries on screensaver for both battery (longer battery-held charge probably the reason for the intended difficulty regarding disabling same?) and plug-in/adapter, but the older HP laptops already doing just fine.

That said, it's no mystery that john boner is not a bright man, a fact that's not lost on anyone including his (rusted, rust-belt) home state of ohio which lamentably was carried by wobama who should be impeached. It doesn't matter what wobama says, but rather what he does that counts. First, start with prosecution/disgorgement from the huge frauds in the trillions, protected on capital hill, including the likes of wobama contributor, jon corzine et als. Second, fraud in social security disability is rampant and must be eliminated. Term limits and paycuts for congress are appropriate owing to egregiously failed performance, along with cuts to budgetary allotments to the wasteful government employee slugs and bureaucracy. People should be educated on the notion of 'utility' of, ie., a dollar to a rich man relative to a poor man, which argues for progressive rates of taxation; and hence, as supported by warren buffet, higher taxes in absolute terms on the rich without gorging them (most wealthy people in america are either overpaid, ie., ceos relative to other countries, or are criminals in deriving their fortunes, as ie., wall street, trump, other mobsters/mafia, etc., and as I've alluded to from my direct observation and experience, immediately infra) that's all for now as I must get back to finishing my backup tasks which are nearly complete.

This probably is indicative of their acknowledgement of their concerted, failed money-printing/over-spending modus operandi and the inevitable hyperinflation to follow.

Kyle Bass Tells 'Nominal' Stock Market Cheerleaders: Remember Zimbabwe Amid the euphoria of today's crossing of the Dow's Maginot Line at 14,000, Kyle Bass provided a few minutes of sanity this morning in an interview with CNBC's Gary Kaminsky. Bass starts by reflecting on the ongoing (and escalating) money-printing (or balance sheet expansion as we noted here) as the driver of stock movements currently and would not be surprised to see them move higher still (given the ongoing printing expected). However, he caveats that nominally bullish statement with a critical point, "Zimbabwe's stock market was the best performer this decade - but your entire portfolio now buys you 3 eggs" as purchasing power is crushed. Investors, he says, are "too focused on nominal prices" as the rate of growth of the monetary base is destroying true wealth. Bass is convinced that cost-push inflation is coming (as the velocity of money will move once psychology shifts) and investors must not take their eye off the insidious nature of underlying inflation - no matter what we are told by the government (as they will always lie when its critical)…”

Guest Post: All Is Well

        Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. Aldous Huxley

The entire system is corrupt to its core. Both political parties, regulatory agencies, Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, and mainstream media are participants in this enormous fraud. They grow more desperate and bold by the day. The lies, misinformation and propaganda being spewed on a daily basis become more outrageous and audacious. They are using the Big Lie method on a grand scale. They frantically need to lure the muppets into the stock market and the housing market to keep the game going a little longer. You can sense we are reaching a tipping point. The system they have created is mathematically unsustainable. Therefore, it will not be sustained.



 

Opinion: Congress, president have insatiable need to spend STLtoday.com { Yes! This is why, along with the pervasive corruption and defacto bankruptcy of the nation, term limits across the board are necessary, and without exceptions. After all, in the immortal (campaign slogan) words of  dick (nixon), experience counts! Indeed it does! For good or ill, and nobody can deny the nations very ill. Term limits would eliminate the perceived and in fact need to refrain from enforcing laws against huge fraudsters/campaign bribers/contributors. Moreover,pork would give way to leaner cuts/spending more rationally based. By every rational criterion, congress will have to work for their pay consistent with their promises; and, not get to comfortable just being there and all that that unfortunately entails.  Ive seen the lack of resolve/courage/principle/competence first-hand: http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf

It’s Not a “Fiscal Cliff” … It’s the Descent Into Lawlessness

Post-Hyperinflationary Zimbabwe Welcomes The Holidays With 80% Unemployment, Empty ATMs And Paralyzed Transport  { Just another typical nigger! Speaking of niggers, if wobama is given the opportunity as he has thus far, hell tread the same path as fellow nigger mugabe. } Zimbabweans are facing bleak holidays this year amid rising poverty, food and cash shortages and political uncertainty, with some describing it as the worst since the formation of the coalition government in the southern African nation.... Banks have closed, ATMs have run out of cash and transport services have been paralyzed." It gets worse: "Zimbabwe's unemployment is pegged at around 80 percent with many people in Harare, the capital, eking out a living by selling vegetables and fruits on street corners." And all of this is after the massive economic imbalances in Zimbabwe's economy should have been "fixed" (or so conventional economic theory would have one believe) courtesy of hyperinflation, which left any savers in tatters, destroyed the value of the old currency, benefited solely debtors  but also allowed a fresh start to a government, which could only remain in power due to a violent power grab by the democratically elected-turned-dictator Robert Mugabe.

Bill Gross Gets It  { Gets what? Why is this surprising? With $4 trillion gone missing (still) at the ny fed, americans should not trust the ny fed. Germany’s move is totally rational. How can anyone trust fraudulent, thieving americans with their money or gold, particularly in the fraud capital of the world, new york city    Michael Savage: Don't trust feds on flu shot...{ Or anything else, for that matter. Indeed, from my direct experience, the actions/inaction of the feds are geared toward making one reliant/dependent upon them (ie., food stamps, faux disability, unemployment comp extensions, ‘protection’ from rampant, blatant crime or not,  etc., despite america’s defacto bankruptcy and the unaffordability of same), despite their unequivocal incompetence and venality. In fact, stepping back, I have seen first hand those siding with/benefiting from (and the encouraging of more crime), ie., RICO defendants et als, actually rewarded by the pervasively corrupt/defacto bankrupt american system (ie., trumps, alito, fed slugees, etc., essentially a combination of and tantamount to what is essentially hush money, bribes, etc.).

20 Outrageous Examples That Show How Political Correctness Is Taking Over America

 http://albertpeia.com/20outrageousexamplesofpoliticalcorrectness.htm

 

"Trenton Makes, The Mayor Takes" Mack Indicted On Corruption Charges

Just a few months back we noted the FBI's arrest of Tony Mack, the Mayor of New Jersey's salubrious capital Trenton. Today, via AP, the mayor and his brother have been indicted on eight counts of extortion, bribery, and mail and wire fraud. The Mayor has continued in his position - even since the September arrest - but the  federal indictment relates to an alleged scheme to accept $119,000 in bribes in exchange for his influence in the development of a garage on city-owned land. Shocked? not so much; but it seems maybe "Trenton Makes, The Mayor Takes" is more appropriate.

 

The 11 "Death Spiral" States   http://albertpeia.com/deathspiralstates.htm

Eleven states made Forbes' list of danger spots for investors including California, New York, Illinois, and Ohio. They warned (and with the cliff it is even more critical), if you have muni bonds in these states - clean up your portfolio; if your career takes you there - rent, don't buy! Two factors determine their list of 'fiscal hellholes'. The first is whether there are more takers (someone who draws money from the government) than makers (the gainfully employed). The second is a state credit-worthiness score (via Conning) based on large debts, uncompetitive business climates, weak home prices, and bad trends in employment. Conning rates North Dakota the safest state to lend money to, Connecticut the most hazardous. A state qualifies for the Forbes' death spiral list if its taker/maker ratio exceeds 1.0 and it resides in the bottom half of Connings ranking. See below for the 11 states to avoid...no matter what Bob Toll, Larry Yun, Bob Pisani, or Alexandra Lebenthal tells you..

 

Worst-run states

New Jersey

Between 2010 and 2011, New Jersey’s GDP contracted by 0.5% — more than all but three states. The state’s median household income and poverty rate both ranked third in the nation. On the other hand, the state’s tax burden on its residents was second highest in the U.S. in 2010. Residents paid 12.4% of their income in state and local taxes — higher than any other state except neighboring New York. The state has budget problems, as well, according to the 24/7 Wall St. analysis. New Jersey’s debt as a percentage of revenue was 91.6%, the fifth-highest of all states.

Amid the euphoria of today's crossing of the Dow's Maginot Line at 14,000, Kyle Bass provided a few minutes of sanity this morning in an interview with CNBC's Gary Kaminsky. Bass starts by reflecting on the ongoing (and escalating) money-printing (or balance sheet expansion as we noted here) as the driver of stock movements currently and would not be surprised to see them move higher still (given the ongoing printing expected). However, he caveats that nominally bullish statement with a critical point, "Zimbabwe's stock market was the best performer this decade - but your entire portfolio now buys you 3 eggs" as purchasing power is crushed. Investors, he says, are "too focused on nominal prices" as the rate of growth of the monetary base is destroying true wealth. Bass is convinced that cost-push inflation is coming (as the velocity of money will move once psychology shifts) and investors must not take their eye off the insidious nature of underlying inflation - no matter what we are told by the government (as they will always lie when its critical). Own 'productive assets', finance them at low fixed rates (thank you Ben), and finally, on HLF, don't bet against Dan Loeb.

{ We’ve never, in the entire history of economics, finance, markets seen the disconnect from economic/financial reality and fundamentals as pronounced and as great as now. The reality of modern-day computer programs/algos/frauds at lightning computerized speed and sheer desperation on fraudulent wall street whose ever larger protected frauds are literally cheered by failed american leadership at every level. Right now, though contraindicated, the superstitious January effect is in play and manipulated to meet faux bullish expectations. Then too, without doubt, what will be their excuse to not ‘sell in May and go away’ which really should be the mantra at present, now, beyond the hot air, smoke and mirrors, fraud and b***s*** we’re once again seeing in large measure, encouraged and received with ebulliently poised irrational exuberance on wall street and in washington.  Remember the ralleys in sympathy with Apple exuberance, all of which we now know to have had a foundation of little more than ‘apple sauce’. Total b***s***! What’s the next b***s*** story/sizzling fraud? The ‘money’ being cashed out by these frauds has to come from someplace (the real economy) and has already found a way into understated/underreported  inflation rates (for a multiple of staples including food prices), lower margins through higher costs thereby manipulated somewhat by currency manipulations, all of which will be ‘coming due’ in a very big way to the downside, reality-based blowout around the corner. }

25 Signs American Women Are Being Destroyed By The Sexual Revolution And Our Promiscuous Culture

http://albertpeia.com/uspromiscuity.htm

{  I’ve included the following previous reference/link as a matter of disclosure and so as not to appear as a hypocrite in the context of this referenced subject:  Drudgereport: STUDY: Girls As Young As 6 See Themselves As Sex Objects... { Wow! This is really quite alarming and bespeaks america’s new-found perverse, third-world uncivilized status, which is ‘picked up’ by kids who in some ways are smarter than given credit for with a vulnerable longing to please, be accepted in light of their powerless position in our ever more deteriorating society. For the record, personally, I’ve never had a virgin though I’ve been in a position to; that’s something I just don’t do. Never have, never wanted to, never would, never will! Moreover, with the prevalence of sick pedophiles and kiddie-porn, it’s not so surprising that kids might pick up on such abominable vibes. It is difficult to imagine that little girls could be the objects of such horror as, ie., Samantha Runnion ( who was kidnapped, sexually abused and strangled by a man who lured her from her front yard by telling her he had lost his dog. Her naked body was found the next day by a hiker in Cleveland National Forest, 50 miles southeast of Stanton.[1] The autopsy revealed that she died from compression. A sample of the kidnapper's DNA was found under her fingernail. The suspect, a Lake Elsinore, California, man named Alejandro Avila, was convicted of first degree murder with special circumstances in May 2005. His DNA was found on Samantha's body, and her DNA was found in his car. He was arrested three days after the abduction. Avila had previously been to the condominium complex where Samantha lived, because his ex-girlfriend resided there and he had been previously acquitted of molesting her daughter and niece. On May 16, 2005, the jury recommended he receive the death penalty. On July 22, 2005, Avila was formally sentenced to death. He is incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison on death row ). As an aside, I’ve included the following for the record as well: Though I’ve had many consensual sexual liasons with many different female sexual partners (mid-hundreds) all of whom I liked, I’ve never, ever resorted to prostitutes. The accidental exceptions included two ‘call girls’; one having met at summer beach town bar matinee and who was ‘not working’ (as it turned out the reason being she was at the end of her menstrual cycle). The other at a grocery store with her daughter which made such in my mind, unlikely. As it turned out, both were ‘nymphomaniacs’ (which, truth be told, made for quite an exceptional sexual romp) and I simplistically inferred/surmised without dwelling on the subject that they probably expected they’d have inordinate amounts of sex anyway and might as well get paid for it – of course I didn’t nor was I asked to pay. The other incident I’m including here for the record concerned an absolutely beautiful (blonde hair, blue eyes, pretty, cute, perfectly built/proportioned – make no mistake, however, I like brunettes also) girl I met at a bar called ‘the Red Ranch’, later changed to ‘Harpoon Willy’s’. At closing, we immediately became amorous, near intimate to a point in my car with abrupt ‘resistance’ at the ‘crucial moments’. When I finally, ‘exasperated’, asked ‘what’s up’, she stated she had recently broken up with her boyfriend who had gone too far in the ‘sado-masochistic’ ritual behavior they were, and she still was into. I told her I wasn’t into it  (I don’t connect sex with sado-masochism); never would, never did, never will. We talked for quite some time and she explained her ‘predisposition’ the (her perceived) consequence of her strict, puritanical upbringing and feelings of guilt concomitant with sexual activity requiring coincident punishment/pain when so engaged. I was busy with law school evenings, work full-time, and teaching at a local college part-time and parted ways without taking her number and never did see her again. }

37 Statistics Which Show How Four Years Of Obama Have Wrecked The U.S. Economy

http://albertpeia.com/4yearsofobamawreckedus.htm

 

{ 1-20-13  I really must say, of all weekends to come down with this virulent, brutal strain of flu, this was it; perfect timing. GOD truly works in mysterious ways. I can feel the depths of nausea beyond that intellectually indicated by the swearing-in of nigger-monkey jiva (no, not java man, jiva) man for his new term. Quite separately, I’m constrained to comment that while I personally don’t trust the feds sufficiently to take the vaccine (infra), I truly can understand why some might (chance it). This was a brutal, painful, debilitating strain of flu wherein the persistent coughing ultimately gave rise to extreme pain when so doing. Though even worse than the last severe strain (LA gets them all, sooner or later), I now have immunity. It seems that each subsequent strain is more severe than the prior strain (and not just because of my increase of years) and I’m not yet quite sure as to why. And, given the proclivity of the government to make the populace/citizenry ever more dependent upon what is (clearly a fact lost on no one) an ever more incompetent, failed, and corrupt government, the inference that the same has as its genesis a recombinant form of virus brought to you by none other than the same desperate government, is eminently reasonable (preliminary ‘testing of the waters’ so to speak, surely to get worse). In fact, it’s a bit unsettling that this same strain of flu has a near simultaneous breakout nationwide. Moreover, from unconstitutional attempts to disarm the citizenry, to drones, to military maneuvers allegedly as anti-terror drills, etc., such a hypothesis seems hardly a stretch and upon reflection, quite probable. After all, there were pervasive domestic terrorist threats, unprecedented in a national election (but not at all uncommon for niggers wherever they are), by the typically uncivilized lawless niggers for riot and mayhem should obama be voted out of office as he deserved to be on his unequivocally failed record. Not a peep … from dhs, dc, etc., who are usually all over law-a-abiding citizens for no good reasons at all … despite the outrageousness of same. One just can’t any longer trust the u.s. government to do what’s right! Really! }

{ I will be expounding upon the ground-breakingly new, failed ‘management’ approach adopted by this failed administration; viz., management by exceptions. That’s right! Exceptions! Not management by objectives; but rather, management by exceptions. Forget laws, precedent, things that have worked for the vast majority; and, focus instead upon the exceptions as they fatefully crop up from time to time. As tragic as the Sandy Hook tragedy was, for wobama to reveal the failed mindset that’s failed america by managing by exceptions, he stated that he previously was not going to pursue gun control this term (there’s a plethora of greater priorities for this pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt nation), but now, because of this slaughter at the hands of the nutcase, he is. Or, revise all protocols for those who are or choose to be gay, or disregard the oath if an illegal immigrant wants to practice law, or don’t prosecute the biggest exceptionally huge wall street frauds because they are too big to fail/jail or donate mightily to political campaigns (MFGlobal/Corzine), etc., or whatever else for votes, etc., the list goes on and on. Yet, the obfuscations/frauds only mask the inevitably greater, deeper abyss to follow! Yes … there you have it … america’s new managerial approach/theory … on the road to perdition … MANAGEMENT BY EXCEPTIONS. Guaranteed not to work … for all but the exceptions (parenthetically, this topic of managing the exceptions as a separate managerial task without misdirecting managerial focus from central objectives was some years ago highlighted by the brilliant Peter Drucker)!  }

Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.

The Bundesbank Starts a Run on Gold  { Yes, indeed upon greater reflection, a 7 year wait to repatriate German gold stored at u.s./new york fed, really is a cause for concern. The question is not only whether its there (I doubt it!), not only whether whats there has been displaced (stolen) and supplanted with tungsten gold plate (at best); but, even assuming arguendo it is still there (doubtful), given the undeniable inherent american proclivity for fraud and theft, whether the thieving american frauds will interpose some spurious pretext to preclude if not exclude the possibility of return (the story of americas foreign and domestic policies in a nutshell). One really has to wonder as to the soundness and rationality of Germanys decision in answering, why fraudulent america and not the renown, trustworthy and reputable Swiss Banks for storing their gold. } Everything the Bundesbank does is close to perfection.

Guest Post: Is American Justice Dead?

Every nation-state has a body of laws woven into the fabric of society. As Peruvian economist Hernando de Soto has commented on extensively, the stronger the rule of law, the stronger the economy. And by "stronger" laws, I mean laws that are impervious to tampering for personal or political gains. The connection between a sound judiciary and economic health is readily comprehensible, except maybe to a politician... businesses and individuals are far more likely to invest capital in a country with understandable laws that are impartially and universally enforced than if the opposite condition exists. That's because the lack of a consistent body of law breeds uncertainty and adds a huge element of risk for entrepreneurs. Which brings us back to the matter at hand American justice on a slippery slope.

Replaying Chris Christie's Epic Anti-Boehner Meltdown

http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       
http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm      http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm   Earlier today, in what can only be summarized as an epic meltdown, NJ governor Chris Christie proceeded with an even more epic rant against House speaker John Boehner, in narrow terms, and House Republicans in broader, for killing the $60 billion Sandy Assistance bill, whose funding would have offset one full year of the just legislated tax hikes on the rich which would add $62 billion annually to the Treasury (or alternatively would have been unfundable for the next 2 months while the US struggles to pay its mandatory bills courtesy of having breached the debt ceiling). Alternatively, all Americans could just agree to accept less welfare and entitlement benefits to show their solidarity for New Jersey and fund the recovery of the Tristate area by a "shared sacrifice" instead of going the default route and demanding even more deficit spending - something that would naturally saddle the next generation with even more pain, not the current, far more entitled one - but in this country that is an absolutely ludicrous proposition. Below is a clip of the entire Christie performance which is a must see for sheer indignation entertainment value alone.

 

 

 

Fiscal cliff, my ass! Come on! Wake up! There’s no real recovery, except, ie., for the huge frauds on wall street (as they cash out worthless paper for bucks/hard assets and churn-and-earn at lightning/computerized algo program speed) which continue unprosecuted and unabated and at everyone else’s expense! Everybody’s paying for the wall street QE/frauds/froth! Huge unaffordable debt increases to mask the obama failure. Threats by the niggers to step up their already substantial violence against whites and riot if no obama ‘re-election’ … that’s terrorism! Unprecedented domestic terrorism! Then the widespread, documented voter fraud favoring obama … not a peep from the ‘status-quo, don’t rock the boat, happy to be there’ republicans. Why bail out wobama? Nothing will be solved by satisficing here! This last minute cramdown is what they’ve opted for by unreasonable, unaffordable, politically motivated intransigence! The nation’s broke! The niggers are pulling down their unaffordable freebies like never before. The extended unemployment benefits are so rich, who’d ever want to work? Time to say no to the niggers! A bit of intestinal fortitude required! F**k wobama, and f**k the niggers and their self-loathing buddies! Selective, rationally strategic ‘undoing’ of various ‘fiscal cliff’ unpleasantries can be undone after the fact of the ‘obama 4 years in the making failure’ with sound, rational thought consonant with reality. F**k wobama, f**k the niggers and their self-loathing buddies! Want to blame someone, blame wobama the unequivocal failure. Time to call a spade a spade! Time to pay the piper!

It’s laughable to hear him blame congress for his lack of accomplishments when the reality is that he ‘really wasn’t there’ for any of it. For wobama the presidency is just endless debate, rhetoric, campaigning, vacationing, soundbites from the teleprompted speeches, jive-talk, b***s***, and ‘choom fantasy’. He’s a total fraud and failure and anyone who buys into election-year desperation / promises, etc., is just a fool of the worst kind!     For those who put their trust in proven failure wobama, all they have to show for such misplaced trust are broken campaign promises, now insurmountable record deficit spending exceeding all the presidents since Eisenhower combined to obfuscate what clearly has been wobama’s unequivocal failure. ]

Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  FRUSTRATION WITH FISCAL CLIFF  12-28-12 
I dont have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. Its a depression. Everybodys out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickels worth. Banks are going bust. We know things are bad. Worse than bad. Theyre crazy. Its like everything everywhere is going crazy so we dont go out anymore. We sit in a house as slowly the world were living in is getting smaller and all we say is, Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Things have got to change my friends. Youve got to get mad. Youve got to say, Im as mad as hell and Im not going to take this anymore!

                                                                         Howard Beale (Peter Finch: Network 1976)

Things havent changed much since 1976 have they? Only the names, faces and circumstances have changed. Americans are still getting the shaft, but this condition is routinely self-inflicted. Weve made a mockery of the presidency, congress and markets. We know little about civics, the constitution and bill of rights, history, economics, science, literature and economics. We care more about toys and Hollywood distractions since critical thinking is just too hard. But I digress. Meanwhile the fiscal cliff sideshow and accompanying rumor driven algo / HFT trading dominates trading. Most Americans dont even know what the fiscal cliff is they just know its bad. The slip in Consumer Confidence to 65 from 74 reflected fear Thursday. Last week alone investors jammed $80 billion into bank CDs. Ive been avoiding commenting and even took a brief holiday in NYC for Christmas as HFT /algo driven volatility was to be expected this week. And this is what the HAL 9000s delivered. These programs alone have driven many investors out of markets. I hope the NYSE and other proponents of this activity are satisfied with the results.The Chicago PMI was only superficially higher (51 vs 51 expected & prior 50.4). But within the data the employment reading was -55.2 vs -45.9 previouslya hiring freeze. Pending Home Sales were in line with estimates (1.7% vs 1.8% expected & prior 5.2%). Again rumors and trial balloons are being launched. What to expect this weekend? A mini-deal, an extension to buy some time (always a first choice), or a deal that fixes nothing? There are many possibilities and all the volatility will sell soap for the media and thats about it. Were rather well-prepared for trouble if not opportunity. We raised nearly 55% in cash two weeks ago with only 25% in stocks and the balance in the income space. We can deal with this one way or another. Monday is scheduled to be a full trading day and one would suppose vacations will be cut short making New Years Day and Wednesday a tough go for partiers. Stocks fell sharply and even more so after the close dropping 28 S&P points (see chart below). Volume was spiked as news was leaked Obama wouldnt offer any new compromise. Breadth continues to be negative per the WSJ…’

It’s Not a “Fiscal Cliff” … It’s the Descent Into Lawlessness

Posted by: George Washington

It’s Not a Tax or Spending Problem … It’s a Devolution Into Lawlessness

http://albertpeia.com/americasdescentintolawlessness.htm

{ That’s certainly been my direct experience; and I’ve been warning and ‘yelling from the rooftops’. Nobody listened! Now it’s time to pay the piper! :   Chief Justice John Roberts Bowed To Political Pressure And Changed His Vote On Obamacare  http://albertpeia.com/nolegalsystem.htm   { The unfortunate reality is what I’ve alluded to in the context of my own direct experience; viz., america’s ‘legal system’ is an illegal system used to cover-up crimes, arbitrarily enforce laws to apply pressure, etc., and essentially run by the inmates of this collective criminal entity called america: http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       
http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm      http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm  

EPITAPH FOR AMERICA: Nothing quite succeeds like failure in america. I had tried to help underdog (and outsider and former missionary and hard worker and straight shooter) Mitt Romney by coming out early and unequivocally in support of him and change in the disastrous direction of america, unequivocally in decline. Importantly, that also gave me 'license' to say what needed saying but what everyone considers politically incorrect, impolitic, or brutally honest and/but are afraid to say. The key(s) to the election debacle here were the threat of riots and violence by the typical uncivilized niggers. After all, americans generally are without doubt an inherently cowardly people and war-mongering bullies as indicated by past and recent history. I saw this first hand by particularly that screaming old lady lying on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, purse stolen by the nigger who calmly walked away as whites among others walked, passed her by in fear (see immediately infra). Truth be told, I bit my tongue and cringed at every Romney link to corrupt, venal war criminals/criminals/mobsters bushes, cheney, trump, kean, (republicans alito, et als) etc., who have substantially damaged me (along with referenced democrats, to be fair). Then there's that contra-indicated love-fest with war mongering/war crimes nation, illegal nuke totin' israel (almost more than I could bear). On the positive side, trusting in GOD only as I do, I must confess I was happy to see the destruction of the jersey shore and appropriately, rockaway beach, queens, new york (jersey mob and gambino crime family connection). A lesson to all, Romney particularly, never trust a half-breed sicilian former federal government slug; that rotund humpty dumpty christie of jersey infamy. Amazingly, the very people who've been and will prospectively be damaged by nothing more than a mentally troubled fraud, grifter, jive-talking b***s***/con artist obama, gave him the blind support he needed to prevail regardless of his unequivocally failed four years of prior broken campaign promises, reality, and rationality. Self-destructive, mentally challenged/troubled losers? That fits! That america is a hopelessly failed, bankrupt nation in decline, there is no question!

 

MSNBC Yet Again Implies Criticism of Obama Is Racist Paul Joseph Watson | General Electric-owned (49%) network is earning its federal bailout money. [Yet, it's holder / wobama who're the racists ...

[ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims)' ... while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a 'park' - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA's position with both felonies ( he went to prison - pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of 'bystander effect' / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 blacks and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA. But, to be fair and balanced, the RICO litigation involves those uncivilized who consider themselves 'whites'

Barack Obama: The Naked Emperor Shocking but true revelations from David Icke (a must read) | Vast numbers of people across the world, including many who should know better, have been duped by the mind-game called Operation Obama... (excerpts) Obama has been the chosen one for a long time, a fact known only to a few in the deep inner circle, and his relationship with Brzezinski almost certainly goes back to the start of the 1980s when he attended the Ivy League, and big-time Illuminati, Columbia University where Brzezinski was head of the Institute for Communist Affairs. Obama simply will not talk in any detail about this period. He has been covertly funded and supported ever since by the Trilateral Commission and its network of foundations connecting into the Ford Foundation, for whom Obama's mother worked. And a question: Does anyone really believe that someone, a 'man of the people', would simply appear from apparently nowhere to run the slickest and best-funded presidential campaign in American history? He was chosen long ago by those who wish to enslave the very people that Obama says he wants to 'set free'. The sources of Obama funding read like a Wall Street Who's Who - Goldman Sachs, UBS, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, J.P. Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and so on. No wonder he went back on his pledge to accept the limitations of public funding for his campaign and instead took the no-limit option of 'private fundingThen there is the Jewish financier, George Soros, the multi-billionaire associate of Brzezinski and closely involved with the funding and marketing of Obama. Soros is a former board member of the Illuminati's Council on Foreign Relations and funds the European Council on Foreign Relations. In short, he is a major insider' You can certainly see the Soros/Brzezinski techniques in the Obama 'revolution' in the United States. It was the complex and secretive network of Soros foundations and organisations, connected to the intelligence agencies of the US and Israel, that trained and funded students in the Ukraine, Georgia and elsewhere in the art of mass protest and overthrowing governments. These manufactured protests were sold to the world as peoples' revolutions, but it just so happened that when they were over and the old regime was removed the new leaders were those waiting in the wings all along - the puppets of Soros, Brzezinski and their associated networks. Obama is just more of the same, a big smile with strings attached, and controlled completely by the Illuminati networks that chose him, trained him, sold him and provided his record funding. It was they who kept his many skeletons under wraps, like the gay sex and crack cocaine allegations of Larry Sinclair (from affidavit: 1. Who is Ron Allen that claims to be with your Presidential camp, who is alleged to claim that someone claiming to represent me called asking for $100,000, to keep me from coming forward about our (Obama and I) November 1999 encounter of sex and cocaine use?), and they will continue to do so as long as he jumps to their bidding. Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself for fame and power, and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. His financial advisors are straight from the Wall Street 'A' list, including Paul Adolph Volker (Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group), the head of the Federal Reserve from 1979 to 1987 and Illuminati to his fingertips. Obama has made him head of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which is dominated by insiders, including its staff director and chief economist, Austan Goolsbee, a close Obama associate from the University of Chicago. Goolsbee is an initiate of the infamous Illuminati Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, which also includes Boy and Father Bush. It was Goolsbee who told the Canadian government not to worry about Obama's attacks on the economic effects of free trade agreements because his words were just to win votes in the election campaign. Another Wall Street insider, the Zionist Timothy Geithner (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations), was appointed by Obama to be his Treasury Secretary. Geithner was the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the most powerful in the private Federal Reserve cartel that masquerades as America's central bank, and he is a former employee of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the appalling Kissinger Associates. Obama's Treasury team locks into the inner circle around the Zionist Robert Rubin, the Director and Senior Counselor of Citigroup, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and economic advisor to Obama. Rubin, a member of the Illuminati Bilderberg Group, was the man behind Citigroup's strategy of expanding its risk in debt markets which forced it to be rescued by taxpayers' money. The very people who caused the financial crisis are being appointed by Obama to decide how to respond to it (more taxpayers' money for them and their friends)

 

Lakers hire Mike DAntoni as coach, passing on Phil Jackson  Phil Jackson was asking for the moon, according to a source familiar with the situation. Mike D'Antoni's Lakers contract is three guaranteed years at $12 million  { Phil was just being nice. He certainly doesn t need the money; and, I must say, I would have lost a lot of respect for him had he done a deal with them. After all, given all hed done for the lakers, the way they (ie., jerry west bad mouthed him, ie., lifestyle, beliefs, choice of location, etc.) bad mouthed him, I personally would have told them to go f*** themselves [ I essentially did as  much with my two largest jersey clients who asked that I return to representing them after the split with them, which would have meant long-term mob affiliation (and as per their thinking/protocol an obligation), albeit tacitly; although I must say I hadnt anticipated fully the pervasive clout of the mob in jersey and infiltration of the equally corrupt federal system there and elsewhere and the dire consequences they contrived for me thereafter- la/ca better, but not much- and, though California was deservingly rated lowest recently among all places in the states to live, Malibu excepted, I would put jersey lower than california; and, prospectively, theres disaster in a big way rivaling/exceeding jersey shore/rockaway beach queens new york in proportion a-coming. ] You cant take it with you.

FACEBOOK RESPONSE:

 

Bob: I'm 100% behind law enforcement in their ever more increasingly difficult task of law enforcement, in this ever more lawless nation, particularly in meaningfully lawless new jersey. Unfortunately, when I went to vote, I was asked to grant facebook broad 'authority' which as a matter of internet policy (to prevent a multitude of problems, hacking, etc.) I don't do (facebook's very politicized in a pro-wobama way and hooked into those goldman frauds et als, on fraudulent wall street). Since wobama people do it, you can put in an extra vote on my behalf. I'm currently stonewalled awaiting a formal reply from the fbi inasmuch as I must account for my time wherever I ultimately locate. Below is some recent posted commentary and a response to Congresswoman Roybal-Allard as per her request (I did not receive a reply from Sen. Feinstein regarding the aforesaid matters). Hope you and your family are well.

Actually, I responded to a ‘generic’ email / facebook request from her with my subsequent request that she help to elicit a formal response from the FBI as promised regarding the RICO matters (the other incompetent, failed perrenial senator barbara boxer actually had ‘made her presence known’ in the corrupted process regarding usdcj matz/lester and the default of the u.s. which missed the filing date which error was compounded by the misstatement of the rule in court on the record by asst. us attorney robert i. lester); but, no response... http://albertpeia.com/selfdefense.htm   [ One thing is certain from my own direct experience { The unfortunate reality is what I’ve alluded to in the context of my own direct experience; viz., america’s ‘legal system’ is an illegal system used to cover-up crimes, arbitrarily enforce laws to apply pressure, etc., and essentially run by the inmates of this collective criminal entity called america: http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf

I believe reasonable diligence requires self-reliance more than ever before in this nation’s history; particularly when political correctness in some states prevents calling a spade a spade to the substantial detriment of law enforcement! ]

11-5-11 Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. 43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

Guest Post: The West Has Just Become A Giant Banana Republic  Legal precedent means nothing. Rule of law means nothing. Free speech means nothing. Their own treaties mean nothing. Its unbelievable. Anyone in the west who honestly thinks hes still living in a free society is either a fool or completely out of touch. If that seems too radical an idea, consider that ECUADOR is now the only nation which stands to defend freedom and human rights against an assault from the United States, the United Kingdom, and their spineless allies. The west has just become a giant banana republic. Have you hit your breaking point yet? If not now when?  { { Im really constrained to interject my own direct experience with the FBI here; and, I must say I do so lamentably. If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the tough questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal drug ops (opsriiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You cant make this stuff up. I also dont believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. Im beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the federal (judicial) system who share the same employer; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared more fairly with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:  Debauchery: An American specialty In the land of Lindsay Lohan and Snooki, some federal workers reflect our culture all too well. (Washington Post) [ Lindsay Lohan? Come on Mr. Milbank, hands off the low hanging fruit. Shes totally harmless. Jersey italian snooki?

Review of flawed forensics held close to vest EXCLUSIVE | Documents and interviews show FBI and Justice Department officials took steps to control information uncovered by a task force designed to examine cases involving discredited agents. Many defendants were never notified of flaws in cases. Simply unconscionable (Washington Post) [ Well, I really have to say this. Im awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ) . Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed the level and extent of corruption and criminality within the ranks of the u.s. government before embarking upon this costly quest for justice and simple fairness consistent with clear law (infra, regarding the u.s. governments direct involvement in the illegal drug trade). In this civil RICO matter, there are no innocent bystanders; but rather, perpetrators, accomplices, and co-conspirators. When the fbi agent initially assigned to this matter (Connecticut) abruptly resigned/retired shortly after a conversation, though not central to my case, wherein I had said that rudy giulianis father had been an (convicted) enforcer for the mob (served 12 years? in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter?) and then sent him documentation owing to his disbelief. Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard. I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agents departure who somewhat plaintively (my call being a burden) told me that he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari, which he didnt explain further. Could anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jerseys FBI office, I was greeted by an FBI Agent who sarcastically asked me whether I was going to the disco that night (the documents including sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alitos office in the same building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   . We all can infer sam alitos reward / quid pro quo for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme court.  There was never a question as to maryanne trump barrys interest in corrupting the judicial process as related to her brothers (trump) casinos. Jersey city boy louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klayman as the most corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly holders impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvds sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference. Im currently being stonewalled by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI Agent Bill Lewis.  }

GE's Jeff Immelt: "We've Definitely Seen A Slowdown In The Fourth Quarter"

In what is likely the fist major under the radar profit warning of the current quarter, GE chief, and Obama Job Tzar, Jeff Immelt warned during GE's annual outlook meeting held earlier in Manhattan that the "economic uncertainty" in the current quarter has resulted in an investment "pause" that has resulted in a slowdown of corporate sales. Put into numbers, GE is now calling for about 8% growth this year, from a 10% forecast barely two months ago. Read: Q4 sales, and thus earnings, are set to be a major disappointment. And while no superstorms were blamed in this particular sales warning, the fiscal cliff did feature prominently. As the WSJ reports, "[Immelt] said ongoing jitters over the so-called "fiscal cliff" of tax increases and government spending cuts contributed to the trend." Then again, it is just as likely that the tapped out US consumer, whose savings rate is tumbling, whose real disposable income is now declining on a year over year basis, and whose real wage growth is decidedly negative, would be tapped out even if Obama and Boehner were not playing constant cat and mouse. But whatever the reason for the slowdown may be, one thing is certain: "Clearly, there has been an investment pause in certain industries," Mr. Immelt said. "We've definitely seen a slowdown in the fourth quarter." Bring on the spin brigade.

State Communism's Newest (public) Advocate: Jeff Immelt Posted by: CrownThomas  Post date: 12/17/2012 - "the one thing that actually works, you know, state run communism may not be your cup of tea, but their government works. They have five-year plans"  { Riiiiight, jeff … their government works for … their government … everyone’s equal, but some, ie., 1 party members, are more equal than others; which, is essentially what we have anyway with our faux 2-party system (no real difference, actually; indeed, ie., the contraindicated, inflationary QE is a welfare program for the wealthy frauds on wall street and paid for by everyone for their benefit and party members among others in Washington, primarily). Actually, GE has been a ‘connected government enterprise’ for quite some time. Indeed, as a point of fact, I drove down to D.C. for what was to be my first patent filing some decades ago. No sooner had I entered ‘Washington, D.C. proper’, I was stopped on the highway by (I think) Washington, D.C. police. After they checked, ran my ID, license, etc.., they said follow us … so I did. Then, after parking, walking toward the ‘patent building/address’, I was approached by a man who identified himself as a GE employee who asked (he probably already knew) where I was going and volunteered to show me the way (which he did). The veiled message was clear (previous times I had gone to D.C. on business, ie., Williams & Connolly firm, Acacia Life Insurance Co., and flown, and had no such similar experience).  Guest Post: The Audacity of Bonuses At MF GlobalIn the spirit of George Orwell’s Animal Farm commandment: “all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal then others” comes the galling news that bankruptcy trustee, Louis Freeh, could approve the defunct, MF Global to pay bonuses to certain senior executives. This, despite the fact that nearly $1.6 billion of customer funds remains “missing” or otherwise partially accounted for, yet beyond the reach of those customers, perhaps forever, since before the firm declared bankruptcy on October 31, 2011...  ,  Nelson Mandela 'proven' to be a member of the Communist Party Telegraph.co.uk For decades, it was one of the enduring disputes of South Africa's anti-apartheid struggle.  { The failed system of communism. Not surprising that a nigger would lache on to such where everyone’s ‘equal’; but, for no good reason, other than for party membership alone some are more equal than others. Well, close enough, but no cigar. After all, chimpanzees share a 98% identical DNA profile with modern humans; and, niggers share 99% (hence, that familiar simian look of the nigger. Interestingly, I must confess that I’ve more recently particularly, developed a well-founded aversion for and antipathy towards chimps, gorillas, oranguatangs and monkeys owing to the fact that they remind me of niggers! }  Chief Justice John Roberts Bowed To Political Pressure And Changed His Vote On Obamacare  http://albertpeia.com/nolegalsystem.htm   { The unfortunate reality is what I’ve alluded to in the context of my own direct experience; viz., america’s ‘legal system’ is an illegal system used to cover-up crimes, arbitrarily enforce laws to apply pressure, etc., and essentially run by the inmates of this collective criminal entity called america: http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf

Meanwhile the Fed has indicated it would extend ZIRP until 2015 which may be nice but it offers little incentive for people to buy homes even as prices might flat line. And we really need people to start buying homes to clean out inventory. Also Operation Twist has ended only to be replaced by another yet unnamed OMO of buying $45 billion of mortgage-backed securities and $20 billion of Treasury debt.  This means more money printing driving the Feds balance sheet to potentially $4-$5 trillion. In his post release press conference stated the Fed is not monetizing federal deficit”…right, and Im not Santa Claus.Lastly, the Fed (behind the curve as usual) has downgraded 2012 GDP growth from 2.5-3% to 1.7-1.8% and 2013 from 2.5-3% to 2.3-3% (a shot in the dark?). These are poor numbers and certainly dont support a tax increase on anyone. One headline stated the revisions lower were only slight which is of course to minimize things but .8% GDP decline on these low numbers are massive.All of his has led to massive hording of cash and trading reserves by large banks and little in the way of lending. The chart below clearly demonstrates the ineffectiveness of current Fed policies in my opinion.

Jimmy Hoffa Warns Of "Civil War" As Michigan Governor Signs "Right-To-Work" Into Law

Minutes before Michigan Governor Snyder signed the 'Right-To-Work' bill into law, Teamster leader Jimmy Hoffa appeared on CNN,as seen in the clip below, warning that: "This is just the first round of a battle that's going to divide this state. We're going to have a civil war," as the bill to weaken unions' power is passed.

 

{ There is an exception to the hearsay rule known as a dying declaration; the rationale being that a person would not ‘go to his maker’ with a false statement/declaration to ‘taint his soul’. Interestingly, I had occasion to know a very intelligent, learned man who was indeed dying, in a death spiral if you will. A lawyer by profession, he had taken an interest in another lawyer’s history; none other than Abraham Lincoln himself. Curiously I thought at the time, though even then, some decades ago (long before the internet), I realized that you were never getting the whole, correct, true story from american media, history as written, etc.. ( I was fortunate in sixth grade to have had a great teacher, James Bresnahan, who allowed for ‘expansive’/accelerated learning in what he took the time and trouble to provide as an advanced reading group. Among the subjects was that knowledge/thinking tainting phenomena known more commonly as propaganda). After all, a long dead president; and, one who famously suffered from recurring bouts of severe depression could hardly be the object of, from my view, intense intellectual interest and scrutiny. Yet, he was fixated on what he deemed a somewhat surprising revelation; viz., from his intense study, Abe was not ‘Honest Abe’ but rather, was a thief. I was aware that in fact, Lincoln found niggers somewhat appalling and initially opposed ending slavery as well as those who favored same, viz., the abolitionists, etc. (niggers are a same old old story of lazy, unproductive, inherently very uncivilized criminal people who are fun-luvin’ for games, partying, and getting high only.  Even the incisive Shakespeare euphemistically referred to the ‘typicality’ of the inherently untrustworthy and without sense of honor, ‘noir’ [french for black]). The ultimate consummate politician (as a lawyer, Lincoln famously took a contrary position not long before saying he thought he then was right but now taking the opposite position now knew he was right … riiiiight! ‘Honest Abe’), Lincoln ultimately did, in rallying his ‘stalwarts’, back the abolitionist cause. I personally feel the people of the south were foolish in bringing vanquished niggers, sold into slavery by other niggers who vanquished them, to this already now recently blemished land. Moreover, as today, the niggers (and the abolitionist cause) had provided fodder for politics of  all sorts, including that of Lincoln. Indeed, even today, spielberg who is famous for his pro-jewish ‘politicking’/propaganda (even the first Indiana Jones movie was heavy on the Arab/Nazi transference propaganda) has found a way to make film-making pay for him and the democratic party by way of the misguided, inaccurate view of Lincoln as the anti-slavery icon he is speciously depicted as. Civil war? Hoffa, like his mob-connected, then disconnected (permanently) father is old news. The truth is that their own done them in (as was so of hoffa’s father) with NAFTA, etc., as they themselves foolishly laughed at their real would-be saviors, ie., Ross Perot, etc.. The reality is, there is literally nothing that can’t be produced better and cheaper and without paying the shake-down bribe from the teamsters et als for doing absolutely nothing (as is true with the other niggers, et als, entitlements, etc.), elsewhere. Twinkies anyone? }

This looked great didnt it? But it wasnt. And, algos dont look too far under the hood at details but those were awful. The largest gain was in retail (part time holiday workers) followed by Hospitality and Leisure and Waste Services (Sandy?) while Construction jobs lost 20K. More importantly, the labor participation rate (only 63.6%) declined again as the number of people out of the work force increased by a stunning 540K people. In the end, more than 200K workers stopped looking for work.

EPITAPH FOR AMERICA: Nothing quite succeeds like failure in america. I had tried to help underdog (and outsider and former missionary and hard worker and straight shooter) Mitt Romney by coming out early and unequivocally in support of him and change in the disastrous direction of america, unequivocally in decline. Importantly, that also gave me 'license' to say what needed saying but what everyone considers politically incorrect, impolitic, or brutally honest and/but are afraid to say. The key(s) to the election debacle here were the threat of riots and violence by the typical uncivilized niggers. After all, americans generally are without doubt an inherently cowardly people and war-mongering bullies as indicated by past and recent history. I saw this first hand by particularly that screaming old lady lying on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, purse stolen by the nigger who calmly walked away as whites among others walked, passed her by in fear (see immediately infra). Truth be told, I bit my tongue and cringed at every Romney link to corrupt, venal war criminals/criminals/mobsters bushes, cheney, trump, kean, (republicans alito, et als) etc., who have substantially damaged me (along with referenced democrats, to be fair). Then there's that contra-indicated love-fest with war mongering/war crimes nation, illegal nuke totin' israel (almost more than I could bear). On the positive side, trusting in GOD only as I do, I must confess I was happy to see the destruction of the jersey shore and appropriately, rockaway beach, queens, new york (jersey mob and gambino crime family connection). A lesson to all, Romney particularly, never trust a half-breed sicilian former federal government slug; that rotund humpty dumpty christie of jersey infamy. Amazingly, the very people who've been and will prospectively be damaged by nothing more than a mentally troubled fraud, grifter, jive-talking b***s***/con artist obama, gave him the blind support he needed to prevail regardless of his unequivocally failed four years of prior broken campaign promises, reality, and rationality. Self-destructive, mentally challenged/troubled losers? That fits! That america is a hopelessly failed, bankrupt nation in decline, there is no question!

 

MSNBC Yet Again Implies Criticism of Obama Is Racist Paul Joseph Watson | General Electric-owned (49%) network is earning its federal bailout money. [Yet, it's holder / wobama who're the racists ... Robinson: King's dream remains unrealized (Washington Post) [ Yeah! That 'content of their character' thing's a b***ch to live up to ... just don't measure up! What's a white person to do, especially when black atty. General Holder with fellow black Obama's tacit approval is racist himself (themselves) UPDATE: MORE CLAIMS OF RACE BIAS AT JUSTICE...'ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims '. Drudgereport: 'Mob' beatings at WI state fair... 'Hundreds of young black people beating white people'... [ Typical ... ] Fairgoers 'pulled out of cars'... 'They were just going after white people'... Heightened security...


[ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims)' ... while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a 'park' - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA's position with both felonies ( he went to prison - pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of 'bystander effect' / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 blacks and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA. But, to be fair and balanced, the RICO litigation involves those uncivilized who consider themselves 'whites'

Barack Obama: The Naked Emperor Shocking but true revelations from David Icke (a must read) | Vast numbers of people across the world, including many who should know better, have been duped by the mind-game called Operation Obama... (excerpts) Obama has been the chosen one for a long time, a fact known only to a few in the deep inner circle, and his relationship with Brzezinski almost certainly goes back to the start of the 1980s when he attended the Ivy League, and big-time Illuminati, Columbia University where Brzezinski was head of the Institute for Communist Affairs. Obama simply will not talk in any detail about this period. He has been covertly funded and supported ever since by the Trilateral Commission and its network of foundations connecting into the Ford Foundation, for whom Obama's mother worked. And a question: Does anyone really believe that someone, a 'man of the people', would simply appear from apparently nowhere to run the slickest and best-funded presidential campaign in American history? He was chosen long ago by those who wish to enslave the very people that Obama says he wants to 'set free'. The sources of Obama funding read like a Wall Street Who's Who - Goldman Sachs, UBS, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, J.P. Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and so on. No wonder he went back on his pledge to accept the limitations of public funding for his campaign and instead took the no-limit option of 'private fundingThen there is the Jewish financier, George Soros, the multi-billionaire associate of Brzezinski and closely involved with the funding and marketing of Obama. Soros is a former board member of the Illuminati's Council on Foreign Relations and funds the European Council on Foreign Relations. In short, he is a major insider' You can certainly see the Soros/Brzezinski techniques in the Obama 'revolution' in the United States. It was the complex and secretive network of Soros foundations and organisations, connected to the intelligence agencies of the US and Israel, that trained and funded students in the Ukraine, Georgia and elsewhere in the art of mass protest and overthrowing governments. These manufactured protests were sold to the world as peoples' revolutions, but it just so happened that when they were over and the old regime was removed the new leaders were those waiting in the wings all along - the puppets of Soros, Brzezinski and their associated networks. Obama is just more of the same, a big smile with strings attached, and controlled completely by the Illuminati networks that chose him, trained him, sold him and provided his record funding. It was they who kept his many skeletons under wraps, like the gay sex and crack cocaine allegations of Larry Sinclair (from affidavit: 1. Who is Ron Allen that claims to be with your Presidential camp, who is alleged to claim that someone claiming to represent me called asking for $100,000, to keep me from coming forward about our (Obama and I) November 1999 encounter of sex and cocaine use?), and they will continue to do so as long as he jumps to their bidding. Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself for fame and power, and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. His financial advisors are straight from the Wall Street 'A' list, including Paul Adolph Volker (Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group), the head of the Federal Reserve from 1979 to 1987 and Illuminati to his fingertips. Obama has made him head of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which is dominated by insiders, including its staff director and chief economist, Austan Goolsbee, a close Obama associate from the University of Chicago. Goolsbee is an initiate of the infamous Illuminati Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, which also includes Boy and Father Bush. It was Goolsbee who told the Canadian government not to worry about Obama's attacks on the economic effects of free trade agreements because his words were just to win votes in the election campaign. Another Wall Street insider, the Zionist Timothy Geithner (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations), was appointed by Obama to be his Treasury Secretary. Geithner was the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the most powerful in the private Federal Reserve cartel that masquerades as America's central bank, and he is a former employee of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the appalling Kissinger Associates. Obama's Treasury team locks into the inner circle around the Zionist Robert Rubin, the Director and Senior Counselor of Citigroup, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and economic advisor to Obama. Rubin, a member of the Illuminati Bilderberg Group, was the man behind Citigroup's strategy of expanding its risk in debt markets which forced it to be rescued by taxpayers' money. The very people who caused the financial crisis are being appointed by Obama to decide how to respond to it (more taxpayers' money for them and their friends)

In the end, all you really have is your spirit, dignity/integrity, self-respect, all of which are sorely lacking in america generally, and california/new jersey/new york/connecticut/virginia especially. The recent election also confirms this very american trend of corruption, decline, and abject failure. Phil Jackson will always be a winner, a champion! }

 

 

FACEBOOK RESPONSE:

 

Bob: I'm 100% behind law enforcement in their ever more increasingly difficult task of law enforcement, in this ever more lawless nation, particularly in meaningfully lawless new jersey. Unfortunately, when I went to vote, I was asked to grant facebook broad 'authority' which as a matter of internet policy (to prevent a multitude of problems, hacking, etc.) I don't do (facebook's very politicized in a pro-wobama way and hooked into those goldman frauds et als, on fraudulent wall street). Since wobama people do it, you can put in an extra vote on my behalf. I'm currently stonewalled awaiting a formal reply from the fbi inasmuch as I must account for my time wherever I ultimately locate.

Dianne Feinstein: No need to debate Republican opponent... { Riiiight! Things are going so swimmingly (as in drowning) for the nation and california particularly. Actually, I responded to a ‘generic’ email / facebook request from her with my subsequent request that she help to elicit a formal response from the FBI as promised regarding the RICO matters (the other incompetent, failed perrenial senator barbara boxer actually had ‘made her presence known’ in the corrupted process regarding usdcj matz/lester and the default of the u.s. which missed the filing date which error was compounded by the misstatement of the rule in court on the record by asst. us attorney robert i. lester); but, no response... http://albertpeia.com/selfdefense.htm   [ One thing is certain from my own direct experience { The unfortunate reality is what I’ve alluded to in the context of my own direct experience; viz., america’s ‘legal system’ is an illegal system used to cover-up crimes, arbitrarily enforce laws to apply pressure, etc., and essentially run by the inmates of this collective criminal entity called america: http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf

I believe reasonable diligence requires self-reliance more than ever before in this nation’s history; particularly when political correctness in some states prevents calling a spade a spade to the substantial detriment of law enforcement! ]

11-5-11 Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. 43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the tough questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal drug ops (opsriiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You cant make this stuff up. I also dont believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. Im beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the federal (judicial) system who share the same employer; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared more fairly with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:  Debauchery: An American specialty In the land of Lindsay Lohan and Snooki, some federal workers reflect our culture all too well. (Washington Post) [ Lindsay Lohan? Come on Mr. Milbank, hands off the low hanging fruit. Shes totally harmless. Jersey italian snooki? In mob infested new jersey, who knows (one of the properties in my proceedings for which surplus funds are unaccounted for was a top floor balconied 2 bedroom 1 and 1/2 bath condominium (beach/boardwalk front w/indoor pool/sauna) in seaside heights, n.j. 10-31-12 Post Sandy: Im wondering if its still there. ). But debauchery an american specialty? Another rare instance wherein I agree with Mr. Milbank completely. 25 Signs That America Is A Seething Cesspool Of Filth And Corruption http://albertpeia.com/25signsamericacesspooloffilthcrimeandcorruption.htm . Review of flawed forensics held close to vest EXCLUSIVE | Documents and interviews show FBI and Justice Department officials took steps to control information uncovered by a task force designed to examine cases involving discredited agents. Many defendants were never notified of flaws in cases. Simply unconscionable (Washington Post) [ Well, I really have to say this. Im awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ) . Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed the level and extent of corruption and criminality within the ranks of the u.s. government before embarking upon this costly quest for justice and simple fairness consistent with clear law (infra, regarding the u.s. governments direct involvement in the illegal drug trade). In this civil RICO matter, there are no innocent bystanders; but rather, perpetrators, accomplices, and co-conspirators. When the fbi agent initially assigned to this matter (Connecticut) abruptly resigned/retired shortly after a conversation, though not central to my case, wherein I had said that rudy giulianis father had been an (convicted) enforcer for the mob (served 12 years? in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter?) and then sent him documentation owing to his disbelief. Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard. I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agents departure who somewhat plaintively (my call being a burden) told me that he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari, which he didnt explain further. Could anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jerseys FBI office, I was greeted by an FBI Agent who sarcastically asked me whether I was going to the disco that night (the documents including sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alitos office in the same building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   . We all can infer sam alitos reward / quid pro quo for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme court.  There was never a question as to maryanne trump barrys interest in corrupting the judicial process as related to her brothers (trump) casinos. Jersey city boy louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klayman as the most corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly holders impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvds sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference. Im currently being stonewalled by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI Agent Bill Lewis.

Heffernan: Microsoft is back — Why the dorky Apple rival is suddenly cool { Forget cool, when it comes to computers/computing, I’m more concerned with stability and performance. As a critic of Microsoft beyond their breakthrough Windows 2000 (professional) and Word offerings, I felt compelled to comment here. XP was a dog and deserving of  criticism (innumerable problems including acting as a ‘virus magnet’). Quite by ‘accident’, I plugged in an old apple usb mouse and my problems with vista (sic), Windows 7, literally disappeared (I then ordered a new usb mouse for right-click, scroll capability). Vista…Whoops, my mistake…I meant to say Windows 7 (not thinking there’s a difference; obviously I haven’t followed their recent past misguided exploits closely)… Windows 7 is by far and away superior to xp (and Vista) in every way. It apparently was the legacy mouse and problems created thereby (with ram, resources, cache/processor, etc.) that impaired stability and performance and I’m happy to say thus far, Windows 7 (with updates to date) is a solid successor to 2000 and microsoft’s best operating system to date (I have my fingers crossed as I said that … just kidding!). }

Robert Wiedemer: Awaiting The Aftershock

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2012-12-01/robert-wiedemer-awaiting-aftershock

The 2007 puncturing of housing market prices and the 2008 financial market swoon are the precedents to two much larger and much more dangerous bubbles. These more pernicious threats are the dollar bubble ("printing money") and the government debt bubble ("borrowing money"). While both are expanding at a sickening pace, in the near term they deceptively make things seem much better than they are. But, like all bubbles, they are unsustainable. The Fed is well-aware of this dire probability, but finds itself increasingly stuck to avoid it. The Fed's main strategic consists completely of "hope". It's backup strategy? "Panic" and thus the need to focus on preservation of purchasing power, and positioning one's financial assets safely before the aftershock arrives.

34 Signs That America Is In Decline

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com

http://albertpeia.com/34signsamericaindecline.htm

 

The United States is clearly in an advanced state of decline.  Many people around the world (and even inside America) rejoice at this, but not me.  I mourn for the country that I was born in and that I still love.  Yes, the United States has never been perfect, but the Republic that our Founding Fathers started truly has been a light to the rest of the world in a lot of ways over the centuries.  Unfortunately, our foundations are badly rotting and our nation is collapsing all around us.  Many Americans like to think that the United States is greater today than it has ever been before, but the truth is that America is like a patient that has stage 4 cancer that has spread to almost every area of the body.  Our nation is being destroyed in thousands of different ways, and more distressing news emerges with each passing day.  This article will mainly focus on the economic decline of America, but much could also be said about our social, political, moral and spiritual decline as well.  We are simply not the same country that we used to be.  Americans are proud, selfish, greedy, arrogant, ungrateful, treacherous and completely addicted to entertainment and pleasure.  Our country is literally falling apart all around us, but most Americans are so plugged into entertainment that they can't even be bothered to notice what is happening.  Most Americans seem to assume that we will always have endless prosperity just because of who we are, but unfortunately that simply is not true.  We inherited the greatest economic machine the world has ever seen and we have wrecked it, and now a very painful day of reckoning is approaching.  But most people will not understand until it is too late.

The following are 34 signs that America is in decline...

#1 According to the World Bank, U.S. GDP accounted for 31.8 percent of all global economic activity in 2001.  That number dropped to 21.6 percent in 2011.  That is not just a decline - that is a freefall.  Just check out the chart in this article.

#2 According to The Economist, the United States was the best place in the world to be born into back in 1988.  Today, the United States is only tied for 16th place.

#3 The United States has fallen in the global economic competitiveness rankings compiled by the World Economic Forum for four years in a row.

#4 According to the Wall Street Journal, of the 40 biggest publicly traded corporate spenders, half of them plan to reduce capital expenditures in coming months.

#5 More than three times as many new homes were sold in the United States in 2005 as will be sold in 2012.

#6 America once had the greatest manufacturing cities on the face of the earth.  Now many of our formerly great manufacturing cities have degenerated into festering hellholes.  For example, the city of Detroit is on the verge of financial collapse, and one state lawmaker is now saying that "dissolving Detroit" should be looked at as an option.

#7 In 2007, the unemployment rate for the 20 to 29 age bracket was about 6.5 percent.  Today, the unemployment rate for that same age group is about 13 percent.

#8 Back in 1950, more than 80 percent of all men in the United States had jobs.  Today, less than 65 percent of all men in the United States have jobs.

#9 If you can believe it, approximately one out of every four American workers makes 10 dollars an hour or less.

#10 Sadly, 60 percent of the jobs lost during the last recession were mid-wage jobs, but 58 percent of the jobs created since then have been low wage jobs.

#11 Median household income in America has fallen for four consecutive years.  Overall, it has declined by over $4000 during that time span.

#12 The U.S. trade deficit with China during 2011 was 28 times larger than it was back in 1990.

#13 Incredibly, more than 56,000 manufacturing facilities in the United States have been shut down since 2001.  During 2010, manufacturing facilities were shutting down at the rate of 23 per day.  How can anyone say that "things are getting better" when our economic infrastructure is being absolutely gutted?

#14 Back in early 2005, the average price of a gallon of gasoline was less than 2 dollars a gallon.  During 2012, the average price of a gallon of gasoline has been $3.63.

#15 In 1999, 64.1 percent of all Americans were covered by employment-based health insurance.  Today, only 55.1 percent are covered by employment-based health insurance.

#16 As I have written about previously, 61 percent of all Americans were "middle income" back in 1971 according to the Pew Research Center.  Today, only 51 percent of all Americans are "middle income".

#17 There are now 20.2 million Americans that spend more than half of their incomes on housing.  That represents a 46 percent increase from 2001.

#18 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the poverty rate for children living in the United States is about 22 percent.

#19 Back in 1983, the bottom 95 percent of all income earners in the United States had 62 cents of debt for every dollar that they earned.  By 2007, that figure had soared to $1.48.

#20 Total home mortgage debt in the United States is now about 5 times larger than it was just 20 years ago.

#21 Total credit card debt in the United States is now more than 8 times larger than it was just 30 years ago.

#22 The value of the U.S. dollar has declined by more than 96 percent since the Federal Reserve was first created.

#23 According to one survey, 29 percent of all Americans in the 25 to 34 year old age bracket are still living with their parents.

#24 Back in 1950, 78 percent of all households in the United States contained a married couple.  Today, that number has declined to 48 percent.

#25 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 49 percent of all Americans live in a home that receives direct monetary benefits from the federal government.  Back in 1983, less than a third of all Americans lived in a home that received direct monetary benefits from the federal government.

#26 In 1980, government transfer payments accounted for just 11.7 percent of all income.  Today, government transfer payments account for more than 18 percent of all income.

#27 In November 2008, 30.8 million Americans were on food stamps.  Today, 47.1 million Americans are on food stamps.

#28 Right now, one out of every four American children is on food stamps.

#29 As I wrote about the other day, according to one calculation the number of Americans on food stamps now exceeds the combined populations of "Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming."

#30 Back in 1965, only one out of every 50 Americans was on Medicaid.  Today, one out of every 6 Americans is on Medicaid, and things are about to get a whole lot worse.  It is being projected that Obamacare will add 16 million more Americans to the Medicaid rolls.

#31 In 2001, the U.S. national debt was less than 6 trillion dollars.  Today, it is over 16 trillion dollars and it is increasing by more than 100 million dollars every single hour.

#32 The U.S. national debt is now more than 23 times larger than it was when Jimmy Carter became president.

#33 According to a PBS report from earlier this year, U.S. households that make $13,000 or less per year spend 9 percent of their incomes on lottery tickets.  Could that possibly be accurate?  Are people really that foolish?

#34 As the U.S. economy has declined, the American people have been downing more antidepressants and other prescription drugs than ever before.  In fact, the American people spent 60 billion dollars more on prescription drugs in 2010 than they did in 2005.

So what are our "leaders" doing about all of this?

Not much.

They just continue to insist that everything is "just fine".

Sadly, the truth is that they live in a world that is very different from most of the rest of us.

Barack Obama is getting ready to take a 20 day vacation to Hawaii.

When was the last time you got to take a 20 day vacation?

And most of our "leaders" have no idea what it is like to struggle from month to month on a paycheck.

Overall, more than half of the members of Congress are millionaires.  We are led by wealthy men who are serving the interests of other wealthy men.

But the problem with our system is not limited to the president and the members of Congress.  The truth is that the political system in America has become a colossal beast that just continues to grow no matter who is in power.  The political establishment of both parties is totally dependent on this beast, and they will continue to feed it and serve it because it has been very good to them.  The following is from an outstanding article by Steve McCann...

The Republican and Democratic political establishments are made up of the following: 

many current and nearly all retired national office holders whose livelihood and narcissistic demands depends upon fealty to Party and access to government largesse;

the majority of the media elite, including pundits, editors, writers and television news personalities based in Washington and New York whose proximity to power and access is vital to their continued standard of living;  

academia, numerous think-tanks, so-called non-government organizations, and lobbyists who fasten onto those in the administration and Congress for employment, grants, favorable legislation and ego-gratification;  

the reliable deep pocket political contributors and political consultants whose future is irrevocably tied to the political machinery of the Party; and

the crony capitalists, i.e. leaders of the corporate and financial community as well as unions whose entities are dependent on or subject to government oversight and/or benevolence .

Do you think that there is any chance that this insidious system will be uprooted any time soon?

Of course not.

We will continue on the same path that we are on right now and America will continue to decline.

Many will rejoice as America falls, but I will not.

I will mourn for a mighty Republic that has fallen and for a dream that has been lost.

Enjoy the Holidays, Because Next Year Will Be Horrific

http://albertpeia.com/horriffic2013.htm  { Indeed, it will be! }

This is going to be a very special holiday season. The reason? Its the last hurrah before things get very very ugly.

Just off the cuff, you need to know that:

1)   China, the EU, and the US (comprising over 50% of Global GDP) are in recession already. The EU has already announced this. Look for the formal announcements concerning the US and China to hit the airwaves next year.

2)   Some data points concerning these nations indicate that this recession will be on par with that of 2007-2008.

A rising tide raises all ships. Similarly, a sinking tide lowers everything. Bear this in mind as a global economic contraction will have severe implications for everything.

Beyond the global economy, we now face sovereign and banking crises in Europe…’

29 Signs That The Elite Are Transforming Society Into A Total Domination Control Grid

http://thetruthwins.com

{ First and foremost clarification: There are no elite on this planet. The grim reality for this planet is a dominant species descended from initially notochords, primitive chordates, and relatively more recently, primitive apes.

[   12 Pictures That Demonstrate How The New World Order Openly Mocks Us http://albertpeia.com/newworldordervedgesmockus.htm  { First, let me say that the vedges of the so-called new world order are in no real position to mock anyone, so mockable as they indeed are, as the incompetent vegetables that they in fact are, who have been the very architects of ultimately their own and the planets decline, fall, and demise. Yet, there is no question but that the masses so mocked, deserve to be mocked, having embraced their dismal fate at every turn; viz., their embrace of political correctness, though contraindicated, as, ie., the embrace of the violent, destructive nigger who literally would have them for dinner, or the compulsion to embrace that which the state says is right, though contraindicated, for political expedience owing to failure fed (including the incompetent missteps of the failed fed) desperation, ie., gay marriage, etc., contrived wars / conflicts, among other clearly observable, self-interested behavior of people, companies, nations, including the gargantuan bailed out frauds on wall street to everyones (but the frauds) detriment, still unprosecuted. That the jive-talking, b***s*** artist/grifter/con-man obama has not been held to even one of his former now broken campaign promises and is embraced by those foolish enough to believe more of the same is testament to how deserving of mocking the masses truly are (people should be outraged and wobama should be ridden out on a rail). Make no mistake; the reality is that the new world order/so-called elite are not elite at all; but rather, incompetent vegetables who cant do anything right as theyve now proven time and time again. As I previously said:

As for slimy newt calling Romney nuts for his stating reality, keep in mind that the b***s*** newty has been on the receiving end of such largesse for quite some time, unable to do anything of value and hence confined to his schmooze and b***s*** paradigm which is pervasive in america, along with fraud among other crimes.

On America's Short-Termist And Fraud-Provoking Culture

Two months ago we posted an excellent introduction from Dan Ariely on the truth about dishonesty. The focus on our ease of rationalizing dishonest acts struck quite a chord and as a follow-up the behavioral economist discussed several real-life examples with Capital Account's Lauren Lyster. Critically, firms are shifting their focus from long-term growth to maximizing 'shareholder-value' (since any short-term mis-step in a liquidity-fueled boom such as this is punished to the point of 'going-concern') and the increasingly short-term focused attitude not only hurts employees and taxpayers but serves to provoke a culture of dishonesty or fraud. Ariely also notes, rather interestingly, that new disclosure requirements for 'academic-based' reports merely creates a more exaggerated result - since report-preparers now know the result will be discounted further. Again, one could argue, that Bernanke's ZIRP world (and an under-the-surface reality known to all that we are on a precipice) creates an ever-decreasing time-horizon for every 'invisible-hand'-driven act we undertake: we have shifted from "Get Rich Quick" to "Get Rich Quicker...By Any Means."

All in plain sight, with a little help from their friends of course: The unfortunate reality is what I’ve alluded to in the context of my own direct experience; viz., america’s ‘legal system’ is an illegal system used to cover-up crimes, arbitrarily enforce laws to apply pressure, etc., and essentially run by the inmates of this collective criminal entity called america: http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf

First Ohio; Next 'The Moon'? While markets are digesting the probabilities of a dramatic rise in taxes and cut in spending as we approach the fiscal cliff, it appears that behind-the-scenes there has been a secret plan that we can only imagine is designed to rocket-boost us over the cliff - new manned missions to the moon. As Space.com reports, NASA is serious about sending astronauts back to the moon's neighborhood and will likely unveil its ambitious plans soon now that President Barack Obama has been re-elected, experts say. They go on to comment that "The space agency has apparently been thinking about setting up a manned outpost beyond the moon's far side, both to establish a human presence in deep space and to build momentum toward a planned visit to an asteroid in 2025. The new plans have probably already been cleared with the Obama Administration but have been kept under wraps in case Republican candidate Mitt Romney won Tuesday night's (Nov. 6) presidential election." While the claims are that this will not increase the budget, we suspect out-of-this-world manned outposts cost a little more than the $17.7bn budgeted for NASA in 2013... someone is clearly eating space-cakes. Ironic really given our earlier post...  { Riiiiight! Sounds like a plan! After all, the new mooney gold and mooney diamond mines on the mooney moon will pay for themselves and the mission The reality though is a new boondoggle to fleece the treasury/taxpayers

Indeed, post-Eisenhower, and certainly post-Kennedy-assassination / coup d’etat, NASA was all military / military industrial complex (moreover, someone knowledgeable about such matters said essentially that in explaining to my surprise the transition to the shuttle program it was said there was greater military application in same). In any event, Russia’s been doing quite a bit of ‘heavy lifting’ vis-ŕ-vis the space station, but not inordinately so. All I can say with certainty is that the universe beyond this solar system is forever protected / insulated. The fact is, they never set foot on the moon; and, in light of the pervasive corruption in and defacto bankruptcy of the nation, their perpetual wars toward making a hell on earth militate against anything but trying to do even just a little bit better (for a start), terrestrially.   NASA wants mission to bring Martian rocks to Earth (AP) Why?

Debates 'diminished' Obama, says Romney "You can boil down what he's saying to four simple words: more of the same," Romney said today in Reno. { I’m truly astounded that after 4 years of b***s***, lies, profligate spending for obfuscation but much vacation, and consequent unequivocal failure, people are even listening to, much less ‘buying’ what wobama desperately says. Not even a word from 0 is worth listening to. That includes those who should supposedly know better. Moreover, self-respect requires that americans reject wobama’s desperate campaign slings, arrows, and desperate entreaties which ignore the reality of his blatant failure in large part owing to his having failed to do as promised last ‘eternal campaign’. Then there’s the threats and intimidation from the niggers who are like ignorant, vicious  animals in lockstep accord with the abject and utter presidential failure obama; yet, such typical ‘clannish’ racism by blacks is virtually ignored and rational opposition to the failure spelled ‘0’ is being cast as racist. How can any nation survive such contraindicated insanity.  I’m truly amazed! }

Indeed, even his so-called ‘auto-biographies’ are works of what appear to be ‘choom-gang’ induced fantasies which reveal a psychogenic/dissociative amnesia that works well in the continuing ‘narrative’ devoid of fact on his ‘more b*** s*** campaign trail’ littered with the cowpies of stark reality. People owe themselves and their children more than this grifter’s con which in numbers measures more than the increased deficits of all the presidents since President General Eisenhower combined to obfuscate his unequivocal failure. Drudgereport: UPDATE: Obama gives himself an 'incomplete' grade...   { Wow! The audacity! The unmitigated gall! This from the record holder for fundraisers, 151 and counting.

Did wobama expect that these things would in choom fashion magically come to fruition while he was ‘workin on his tan’, golf swing, or shootin’ hoops on the taxpayer dime? http://albertpeia.com/wobamaschoomgangfantasy.htm 

The point is that you don’t have to love Romney but you at least have to like yourself in saying ‘NO!’ to more wobama b***s*** which is all that he is. Have some self-respect. His grade is unequivocally ‘F’ for failure, having failed to do as promised which coincidentally is a direct cause among others of this debacle called america’s dark obama years.

Did the final presidential debate do anything to influence who you will support in ... NBCNews.com  { The following comment is correct. The other aspect is that people are seemingly pathetically ignoring that Os last 4 years have been an abject, utter failure in spectacularly unprecedented fashion. A sad commentary on the state of the nation when such blatantly clear reality is ignored by so many, including those who should know better.} Obama has told no truth in 4 years. He can't wave his hand and ignore sequestration. We need a leader not a liar. Romney is our only choice.

WSJ | The 7.8% unemployment figure released by the BLS last week is downright implausible.

{ How pathetic, desperate, corrupt and dishonest is the wobama et als latest manipulation 10-11-12  Kass: " Labor Dept said one large state didnt report additional quarterly figures as expected, accounting for a substantial part of the decrease." }

http://ransquawk.com News Headline Summary

Several factors have been attributed to the lower than expected US initial jobless claims number, including the following:

- The US Labor market noted that one state accounted for the entire drop.
- It is the first week of the quarter which historically adds volatility, especially with expectations of a seasonal adjustment.
- Extended benefits rose (+13,802) in the latest week due to the state of NY returning to the program starting Sept 9th.

Update details:

- Although initial upside was seen in US stock futures, most of the move has since been pared as attention paid to these factors.

Reason For Today’s Unemployment Rate Plunge: Part-Time Jobs For Economic Reasons Surge Most Since QE1 Announcement

Zero Hedge | We already noted the absolutely stunning surge in reported Household Survey jobs which “added” 873,000 jobs.

 

 

A Jobs Report Conspiracy?

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com 

 http://albertpeia.com/jobreportcon.htm

{ Come on! People have to start calling a spade a spade! Os just a typical incompetent, jive-talking b***s*** nigger! He is so pathetic and a total embarrassment! }

Well, isn't that convenient?  The Obama campaign desperately needed the last employment report to be released before the election to show that the unemployment rate had fallen below 8 percent, and somehow it magically happened.  Even though non-farm payroll employment only increased by 114,000 last month (not enough to even keep up with population growth), the official unemployment rate fell from 8.1 percent to 7.8 percent.  So how did that happen?  Well, the unemployment number is not based on the survey of employers that showed that 114,000 jobs were added to the economy last month.  Rather it is based on a survey of households.  And that survey showed that the total number of Americans employed last month increased by a whopping 873,000 - almost eight times the number that the employer survey showed.  That figure for September (873,000) was the biggest one month increase in 29 years.  And it just happened to come at the exact perfect time for Barack Obama.  So was there a jobs report conspiracy?  Examine the evidence and decide for yourself.

The number of Americans with a job fell by 195,000 in July.

Then it fell by another 119,000 in August.

But somehow in September it miraculously exploded in the other direction and 873,000 jobs were added to the economy?

If you believe that, I have a bridge that I want to sell you.

Somehow, the largest increase in jobs in 29 years happened just when Barack Obama needed it the most.

Nah, that doesn't sound fishy to me at all.

We are being told that a big reason for the huge increase was the number of Americans working part-time for "economic reasons".  That number surged from 8.0 million in August to 8.6 million in September.

Why the sudden jump?

Nobody can really explain it.

And if you look at the U6 unemployment rate, nothing has really changed at all.  U6 is still at 14.7 percent just like it was last month.

But the media is not going to talk about the U6 rate.  Instead, all of the headlines are going to be about "7.8 percent".

According to the survey of employers, the U.S. economy added fewer jobs in September than it did in August, and it added fewer jobs in August than it did in July.

So according to the survey of employers, the employment situation in the United States is getting worse.

But according to the household survey, we just had the greatest month of job creation since the first term of Ronald Reagan.

Something does not add up.

And as I have written about previously, the unemployment rate would actually be up around 11 percent instead of 7.8 percent if not for the millions of workers that the government claims "dropped out of the labor force" over the past few years because they became too discouraged to look for work.

So unemployment in America is still a massive crisis, but the media is boldly proclaiming that things are getting better and that we are on the road to recovery…’

 

The following is a sampling of skeptical quotes about this jobs report....

Former GE chief Jack Welch

Unbelievable jobs numbers..these Chicago guys will do anything..can't debate so change numbers

Chapwood Capital Investment Management Managing Partner Ed Butowsky

I feel like Im watching a movie. There is no way in the world these numbers are accurate.

Neil Irwin of the Washington Post

"Weird that payrolls are exactly on forecast but household survey is far better."

Conn Carroll, senior editorial writer for the Washington Examiner

While it is highly improbable that BLS conspired to cook the books, there is still a huge 756,000 job gap between the number of jobs employers told the Labor Department they created in September (114k), and the number of Americans who told the labor department that they got new jobs (873k).

U.S. Representative Allen West

I agree with former GE CEO Jack Welch, Chicago style politics is at work here. Somehow by manipulation of data we are all of a sudden below 8 percent unemployment, a month from the Presidential election. This is Orwellian to say the least and representative of Saul Alinsky tactics from the book "Rules for Radicals"- a must read for all who want to know how the left strategize . Trust the Obama administration? Sure, and the spontaneous reaction to a video caused the death of our Ambassador......and pigs fly.

Gluskin Sheff's David Rosenberg

That the 7.8 percent jobless rate takes it to the level that prevailed when the President took office in January 2009 has raised many an eyebrow. I don't believe in conspiracy theories. But I don't believe in the Household Survey either. 

This notoriously volatile indicator has become even more so in recent months. It showed a 195K slide in July and a 119K decline in August, to only then reveal a massive 873K surge in September.

Radio host Laura Ingraham

"Jobs #s from Labor Secretary Hilda Solis are total pro-Obama propaganda--labor force participation rate at 30-yr low. Abysmal!"

Americans for Limited Government

"Either the Federal Reserve, which has its fingers on the pulse of every element of the economy, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics manufacturing survey report are grievously wrong or the number used to calculate the unemployment rate are wrong, or worse manipulated. Given that these numbers conveniently meet Obama's campaign promises one month before the election, the conclusions are obvious."

Rick Santelli of CNBC

"I told you they'd get it under 8 percent they did! You can let America decide how they got there!"

Of course the backlash in the media against skepticism of the jobs report has been very forceful.

Already, those that are doubtful of the legitimacy of the jobs report are being called "truthers" - as if there is something wrong with wanting to know the truth.

Sadly, that is how things work these days.  If you don't like the viewpoint that some people are expressing, you just label them "conspiracy theorists".

This from the record holder for fundraisers, 151 and counting. Then there’s the 100 plus rounds of golf in addition to being famously over-vacationed while in office. It’s laughable to hear him blame congress for his lack of accomplishments when the reality is that he ‘really wasn’t there’ for any of it. For wobama the presidency is just endless debate, rhetoric, campaigning, vacationing, soundbites from the teleprompted speeches, jive-talk, b***s***, and ‘choom fantasy’.

Indeed, as an investor, one analyzes earnings, projects prospective earnings over a 3-5 year horizon, and the quality of the earnings along macro economic factors which are affected by ‘political considerations’. Does anyone remember the honorable Ross Perot who warned of NAFTA’s effect on american jobs even as the democrat administration et als were hell-bent on passing same? Should Romney have breached his legal duty to shareholders and invested in companies with poor earnings prospects? After all, in the financial / security analysis step of projecting the income statement, prospective labor costs figure prominently in the bottomline. In sum, Romney took conditions as he found them, and made the prudent choices which as per his legal duty were optimal for those who put their trust in him. For those who put their trust in proven failure wobama, all they have to show for such misplaced trust are broken campaign promises, now insurmountable record deficit spending exceeding all the presidents since Eisenhower combined to obfuscate what clearly has been wobama’s unequivocal failure. ]

Guest Post: The West Has Just Become A Giant Banana Republic  Legal precedent means nothing. Rule of law means nothing. Free speech means nothing. Their own treaties mean nothing. Its unbelievable. Anyone in the west who honestly thinks hes still living in a free society is either a fool or completely out of touch. If that seems too radical an idea, consider that ECUADOR is now the only nation which stands to defend freedom and human rights against an assault from the United States, the United Kingdom, and their spineless allies. The west has just become a giant banana republic. Have you hit your breaking point yet? If not now when?  { { Im really constrained to interject my own direct experience with the FBI here; and, I must say I do so lamentably. If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the tough questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal drug ops (opsriiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You cant make this stuff up. I also dont believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. Im beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the federal (judicial) system who share the same employer; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared more fairly with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:  Debauchery: An American specialty In the land of Lindsay Lohan and Snooki, some federal workers reflect our culture all too well. (Washington Post) [ Lindsay Lohan? Come on Mr. Milbank, hands off the low hanging fruit. Shes totally harmless. Jersey italian snooki? In mob infested new jersey, who knows (one of the properties in my proceedings for which surplus funds are unaccounted for was a 2 bedroom 1 and 1/2 bath condominium in seaside heights, n.j.). But debauchery an american specialty? Another rare instance wherein I agree with Mr. Milbank completely. 25 Signs That America Is A Seething Cesspool Of Filth And Corruption http://albertpeia.com/25signsamericacesspooloffilthcrimeandcorruption.htm . Review of flawed forensics held close to vest EXCLUSIVE | Documents and interviews show FBI and Justice Department officials took steps to control information uncovered by a task force designed to examine cases involving discredited agents. Many defendants were never notified of flaws in cases. Simply unconscionable (Washington Post) [ Well, I really have to say this. Im awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ) . Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed the level and extent of corruption and criminality within the ranks of the u.s. government before embarking upon this costly quest for justice and simple fairness consistent with clear law (infra, regarding the u.s. governments direct involvement in the illegal drug trade). In this civil RICO matter, there are no innocent bystanders; but rather, perpetrators, accomplices, and co-conspirators. When the fbi agent initially assigned to this matter (Connecticut) abruptly resigned/retired shortly after a conversation, though not central to my case, wherein I had said that rudy giulianis father had been an (convicted) enforcer for the mob (served 12 years? in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter?) and then sent him documentation owing to his disbelief. Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard. I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agents departure who somewhat plaintively (my call being a burden) told me that he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari, which he didnt explain further. Could anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jerseys FBI office, I was greeted by an FBI Agent who sarcastically asked me whether I was going to the disco that night (the documents including sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alitos office in the same building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   . We all can infer sam alitos reward / quid pro quo for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme court.  There was never a question as to maryanne trump barrys interest in corrupting the judicial process as related to her brothers (trump) casinos. Jersey city boy louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klaiman as the most corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly holders impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvds sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference. Im currently being stonewalled by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI Agent Bill Lewis.}

GUESS WHERE THESE BEAUTIFUL PICTURES WERE TAKEN
http://albertpeia.com/guess.htm

See if you can guess in which European country all of these beautiful pictures were taken: {0}

The 4 Middle Eastern pictures above are from Saudi Arabia, not Iran. Same thing, you say?   Actually, Saudi Arabia is doing its best to overthrow Iran via terrorism, and is persecuting Christians and Jews much more than Iran.

Maybe we should learn a little bit more before deciding whether or not to bomb Iran?

Especially since the U.S. has been claiming for more than 30 years that Iran was on the verge of nuclear capability, and top American and Israeli defense and intelligence bosses say that bombing Iran will only increase the odds that Iran will actually build a nuclear weapon?

Postscript:   Iran obviously has problems and is far from perfect.  But given the tidal wave of propaganda in the news which is doing everything possible to demonize the enemy to justify war, we think it is valuable to provide some balance and perspective.

Such, of course, is famously promoted/encouraged (tweets, etc.) by the media, celebs, etc., and of course the sellers of the China-made gadgets, ie., apple (I-phones, etc.), etc..

Barron's slams Facebook, stock falls  Facebook Inc.'s stock took a hit Monday after an article in the financial magazine Barron's said it is "still too pricey" despite a sharp decline since its initial public offering.

’…Though Facebook's stock has plunged since its May IPO, Andrew Bary at Barron's said the stock trades at "high multiples of both sales and earnings, even as uncertainty about the outlook for its business grows."At issue is the shift of Facebook's massive user base to mobile devices. The company is still figuring out how to advertise to people who use their mobile phones and tablet computers to access the social network. Bary said success in the mobile space is "no sure thing" for the company. Mobile ads must fit into much smaller screens, which doesn't give Facebook "much room to configure ads without alienating users," Bary said.Facebook also has what Bary called "significant" stock-based compensation expenses. Last year, the company issued $1.4 billion worth of restricted stock and $1 billion so far this year, he noted. Yet technology companies such as Facebook "routinely encourage analysts to ignore stock-based compensation expense — and most comply. This dubious approach to calculating profits is based on the idea that only cash expenses matter," Bary wrote. "That's a fiction, pure and simple."Menlo Park, Calif.-based Facebook's stock fell $2.03, or 8.9 percent, to close at $20.83 on Monday. The company went public on May 18 at a share price of $38, which it has not matched since…’

Barack Obama has been President for 30 months—2-1/2 years. He spent the first year obsessed with passing Obamacare, a program that doesn’t create jobs, but might destroy a lot of them.  He “bailed out” GM, but many believe that his interference didn’t save GM; it merely cost taxpayers an extra $15-20 billion, and stole from legitimate investors to buy off the UAW.  His broken campaign promises are too numerous to list…’). IT IS NOTHING SHORT OF TRAGEDY TO SEE PEOPLE DELUDE AND MAKE FOOLS OF THEMSELVES IN SUPPORT OF JIVE-TALKING GRIFTER/CON-MAN OBAMA. GOOD BYE FORMER FAILED PRESIDENT WOBAMA … GOOD RIDDANCE!   

 

 

Obama: 'We get Virginia, we win' { Well there you go….it’s now a one state Presidential race, winner take all…Wow!...The scary thing is that wobama seems to believe his own b***s***, even when he knows same to be false; as, ie., Dreams, etc.. Another choom gang fantasy? He really insults people’s intelligence. I personally believe, and strong case can be made, that wobama, like fellow chitown pol jackson, jr., suffers from psychological disorder(s). Indeed, at the least, from psychogenic/dissociative amnesia that makes the aforementioned facts beyond the grasp of his ‘current unreality’. I also believe that his heavy near everyday powerful pot (choom) use took its toll on his cognitive functions that have facilitated his outlandish claims and outright fabrications; exactly what the nation cannot afford in these critical/perilous times! }

 

 

Obama Blames GOP for Inability to Pass Immigration Reform { Riiiiight! Along with all wobama’s other broken campaign promises, some within his executive branch exclusive control, ie., those promised prosecutions of the biggest wall street frauds that never came, etc.. Always somebody else’s fault according to wobama the no accountability man, who motto is the debased buck stops with anyone but him. How pathetic! }

Romney and the GOP still toe the Bush line  Republican leaders are sick and tired of Democrats blaming all the nation's problems on George W. Bush, and of being tarnished by the former president's legacy. { The problem for the democrats is that, unfortunately for the nation and world, wobama’s essentially followed dumbya bush’s failed legacy with few exceptions (ie., wobama/holder’s predisposed contraindicated favoritism/bias towards blacks including black panthers, etc.). Indeed, many within ‘the fold’ include ‘bush men’ (ie., mueller, bernanke, etc.); and comparable failed policies as, ie., protracted unnecessary war, profligate spending worse than bush, rule by proclamation/executive orders, no prosecution of huge wall street frauds, etc., all contrary to campaign promises/b***s*** that got him elected, a mistake that won’t be repeated this time around. }

Graham Eats Humble Pie  September 13, 2012  http://gainspainscapital.com  { This is an especially great opportunity to sell this suckers’ market/take profits! Nothing’s been solved! Just because ‘no-recession-helicopter-ben’ says something, does not mean it’s true (remember that ‘no recession call’ of his; and, of course, no QE before the election, prospectively, already discounted many times over by the ‘markets, such as they are, ie., algo buy programs, etc.. ).  All this and now ‘whatever’ is too little and too late for the uss Titanic which has taken on too much, not water, but b***s***. This was a desperate move, bespeaking desperation.The fact is things are ominously so bad, and worse than ‘allowed’ to be seen for the moment, that something as this QE which is economically and financially contraindicated and a proven failure for all but the frauds on wall street along with their cohorts including desperate politicos, is resorted to in desperation to divert attention from their unequivocal failure. After all, though having cost so many americans their jobs with wrong calls and policies, bernanke is trying to save his own by inflating the markets (along with everything else, ultimately hyperinflationary)  for fellow failure wobama’s sake (wobama rehired failure bernanke, President Romney would have fired, and will fire him … goldman sachs knew this dollar debasing failed policy QE 3 would come and at the expense of the muppets…that’s their term for all you suckers). I further believe this contraindicated largess to the frauds on wall street is to preserve his post fedship tenure job possibilities by ingratiating himself even further with those nefarious, self-serving interest groups. }

Dave’s Daily: This puts the “bad news is good” back on the front burner and means Bernanke has no choice but to QE and inflate asset prices. He still has “some” weapons left but he’s running out of bullets. QE bulls could care less since it’s time to party.All this QE speculation trashed the dollar (UUP) and bolstered gold (GLD) and silver (SLV). After all, if it’s balls to the wall once again these assets are the insurance against currency debasement.Individual investors are still either hiding in low yielding bonds, dividend sectors or are just on the sidelines. Those buying include corporations with buybacks, hedge funds, and overseas investors feeding on the weak dollar and to a lesser extent captive money in pension plans.The fly on the soup today was a crummy report from Intel (INTC) which issued a warning as PC demand is weak. This pulled semiconductor ETF (SOXX) and the overall technology index (XLK) lower. There is concern that PC sales are stalling given the pending launch next month of Windows 8 which is an entirely different approach from (MSFT) affecting (IGV).As stocks followed the rally from Thursday on QE hopes, bonds (IEF) took a breather but not by much given likely Fed money printing and buying.The important thing to remember about QE activity is what’s the grade? Thus far in the U.S. at any rate its money that goes first to the Primary Dealer network (mega-banks) and then may trickle down to you and me. Clearly it’s been supportive of stock prices but where is that in the Fed’s twin mandate (protect the purchasing power of the dollar and full employment)? If the mega-banks just hold the money to bolster their balance sheets then the grade is an “F”. As most know, banks aren’t lending money for mortgages or small businesses no matter how much liquidity the Fed dumps on them. I used to have a math teacher who wouldn’t give a grade less than 40. If it was less than 40 he’d circle it. You wouldn’t want a “circle 40” but this is how you’d score the Fed’s twin mandate results.Investment Tip: Don’t fight the Fed central banks.Volume on this QE addicted Friday was once again ultra-light cementing few investors in the game beyond those described above. Breadth per the WSJ was positive…’

 

*[ ECB INTERVENTION COMMENT DU JOUR: "CLASSIC BANANA REPUBLIC BANKING"    http://albertpeia.com/classicbananarepublicbanking.htm   . { It bears repeating that never in history have the markets become so disconnected from fundamental finance, valuation, an reality and so completely and utterly fraudulent. I believe that computerization facilitating multiple frauds at lightning speed, over and over again and again along with re-hypothecation of already worthless paper at similar speeds is in part the reason for the prevalence of such fraud along with the breakdown of american among other societies into what yesteryear would have been scorned as banana republics without any meaningful rules of law whatsoever and pervasive, almost blatant, corruption at every level. (This is not to blame computers for the bad use theyre put to.) Guest Post: The West Has Just Become A Giant Banana Republic  Legendary Investor Jeremy Grantham: America is a Banana Republic Washingtons Blog | Just different bananas perhaps? [ Of course this is absolutely true! And not just from the meaningfully lawless perspective I had made such a statement on the record in a LA Superior Court Appellate Dept. proceeding in which said court literally ignored the law (the same is true of the costly, plushly accoutered lifetime appointee federal courts) which corrupt courts should indeed be abolished in these difficult economic / budgetary times. Additionally, from pervasive corruption, to debased over-printed currency, to gunboat diplomacy, to total incompetence, etc., america is indeed a banana republic at most.]  Guest Post: The West Has Just Become A Giant Banana Republic  Legal precedent means nothing. Rule of law means nothing. Free speech means nothing. Their own treaties mean nothing. Its unbelievable. Anyone in the west who honestly thinks hes still living in a free society is either a fool or completely out of touch. If that seems too radical an idea, consider that ECUADOR is now the only nation which stands to defend freedom and human rights against an assault from the United States, the United Kingdom, and their spineless allies. The west has just become a giant banana republic. Have you hit your breaking point yet? If not now when?  { { Im really constrained to interject my own direct experience with the FBI here; and, I must say I do so lamentably. If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the tough questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal drug ops (opsriiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You cant make this stuff up. I also dont believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. Im beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the federal (judicial) system who share the same employer; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared more fairly with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:  Debauchery: An American specialty In the land of Lindsay Lohan and Snooki, some federal workers reflect our culture all too well. (Washington Post) [ Lindsay Lohan? Come on Mr. Milbank, hands off the low hanging fruit. Shes totally harmless. Jersey italian snooki? In mob infested new jersey, who knows (one of the properties in my proceedings for which surplus funds are unaccounted for was a 2 bedroom 1 and 1/2 bath condominium in seaside heights, n.j.). But debauchery an american specialty? Another rare instance wherein I agree with Mr. Milbank completely. 25 Signs That America Is A Seething Cesspool Of Filth And Corruption http://albertpeia.com/25signsamericacesspooloffilthcrimeandcorruption.htm . Review of flawed forensics held close to vest EXCLUSIVE | Documents and interviews show FBI and Justice Department officials took steps to control information uncovered by a task force designed to examine cases involving discredited agents. Many defendants were never notified of flaws in cases. Simply unconscionable (Washington Post) [ Well, I really have to say this. Im awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ) . Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed the level and extent of corruption and criminality within the ranks of the u.s. government before embarking upon this costly quest for justice and simple fairness consistent with clear law (infra, regarding the u.s. governments direct involvement in the illegal drug trade). In this civil RICO matter, there are no innocent bystanders; but rather, perpetrators, accomplices, and co-conspirators. When the fbi agent initially assigned to this matter (Connecticut) abruptly resigned/retired shortly after a conversation, though not central to my case, wherein I had said that rudy giulianis father had been an (convicted) enforcer for the mob (served 12 years? in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter?) and then sent him documentation owing to his disbelief. Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard. I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agents departure who somewhat plaintively (my call being a burden) told me that he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari, which he didnt explain further. Could anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jerseys FBI office, I was greeted by an FBI Agent who sarcastically asked me whether I was going to the disco that night (the documents including sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alitos office in the same building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   . We all can infer sam alitos reward / quid pro quo for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme court.  There was never a question as to maryanne trump barrys interest in corrupting the judicial process as related to her brothers (trump) casinos. Jersey city boy louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klaiman as the most corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly holders impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvds sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference. Im currently being stonewalled by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI Agent Bill Lewis.

SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE DEBT LIMIT
Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

ATF Chief Melson:Justice Department trying to shield officials (LATimes) Serrano

 

I believe him!

 I truly empathize with the ATF in terms of government cover-ups, notably by even the DOJ. Youll recognize some familiar names (ie., Alito, Trump, Freeh (Louis Freeh now has dual citizenship with Italy), and some familiar crimes (ie., drug money laundering, etc. real cash cow for govt ops, bribes, etc.). [Did you know this about the following ATF Agents who were probably viewed as loose ends: Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeahan & Conway LeBleu:   Died February 28, 1993 by gunfire at Waco. All four were examined by a pathologist and died from identical wounds to the left temple. All four had been body guards for Bill Clinton, three while campaigning for President and when he was Governor of Arkansas.They also were the ONLY 4 BATF agents killed at Waco. ]

Heres some real, complicit cover-up / fraud on the part of the federal government, et als:

 

October 15, 2010 (*see infra {ultimately delivered by UPS})

 

 Steven M. Martinez, Assistant Director In Charge
Federal Bureau of Investigation, USDOJ
11000 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1700
Los Angeles, CA 90024

 

 Dear Sir:

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computers browser) as per your offices request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which Ive installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named 112208opocoan). The (civil) RICO action (as youre aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBIs LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation Andrew Maloneys the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..

Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.

The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages:   [  Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File        Page 1                Page 2          ]

Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [   transcript in pertinent part -     http://albertpeia.com/crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf    ]

Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.],   Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

[ This is a reply to the Congresswoman’s query among others included.]

 

11-5-11

 

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. 43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

 

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

Sincerely,

Albert L. Peia

 

America also leads in the illegal drug trade.  In fact, many researchers reveal that the war on drugs is only utilized to control and monopolize the illicit drug trade.  The US government has been caught multiple times shipping in cocaine [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvbdiWgwsA , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQNSoOX-dcw&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG1Id2qpSOE&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEUhpxeuP4&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyM43Sw2OVc&feature=related ] , colluding with certain cartels [ http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/08/does_mexican_drug_cartel_have_deal_with_us_government.html ] to control the industry, and now openly protects and transports opium from Afghanistan [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElEciFI0Pew ] .  In fact, Global Research points out that in 2001, “according to UN figures, opium production had fallen to 185 tons. Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [ http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world ] ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

What Is The Best Place To Live In America? Pros And Cons For All 50 States

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com

http://albertpeia.com/proscons50states.htm

{ You really can
t dismiss this brief/simplistic survey out of hand; after all, he gets the the following almost right (jersey should be ranked below all; ie., F- !) New Jersey: Pros: anyone got something? Cons: high population density, Camden, Newark, not enough jobs, multiple nuclear power plants,Atlantic City, crime, gang violence Overall Rating: D-  /  California: Pros: Disneyland, warm weather, Malibu  Cons: high taxes, Jerry Brown, earthquakes, mudslides, wildfires, gang violence, crime, traffic, rampant poverty, insane politicians, ridiculous regulations, bad schools, political correctness, illegal immigration, not enough jobs, air pollution, multiple nuclear power plants, possible tsunami threat along the coast, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, Stockton, Sacramento, huge drug problem, high population density, the state government is broke, many more reasons to leave California right here  http://albertpeia.com/16reasonstomoveawayfromcalifornia.htm   http://albertpeia.com/hopelesscluelesscalifornia.htm  Overall Rating: F }  If you could live in any state in America, where would you go?  During troubled times like these, what is the best place in the United States to live?  A lot of people are asking these kinds of questions these days.  Our economy is on the verge of collapse, natural disasters are becoming more frequent and more intense, the U.S. population is becoming angrier and more frustrated by the day, our government has become incredibly oppressive and controlling, war could break out at any time and evidence that society is breaking down is all around us.  As our world becomes increasingly unstable, many families are considering moving somewhere else.  But what areas are best and what areas should be avoided?  Is there really a "best place to live" in America?  Well, the truth is that each family is facing a different set of circumstances.  If you have a great support system where you live, it can be really tough to pick up and move 3000 miles away from that support system.  If you have a great job where you live now, it can be really tough to move some place where there may be no job at all for you.  But without a doubt there are some areas of the country that will be far better off than others in the event of a major economic collapse.  This article will take a look at each of the 50 U.S. states and will list some of the pros and cons for moving to each one.

Not all of the factors listed below will be important to you, and a few have even been thrown in for humor.  But if you are thinking of moving in the near future hopefully this list will give you some food for thought.

A few years ago when my wife and I were living near Washington D.C. we knew that we wanted a change and we went through this kind of a process.  We literally evaluated areas from coast to coast.  In the end, we found a place that is absolutely perfect for us.  But different things are important to different people.

And if I gave your particular state a low rating, please don't think that I am trashing the entire state or all of the people who live there.

For example, there are some absolutely wonderful people that live in the state of California, and there are some areas of California that I would not mind visiting at all.  But for the times that are coming I am convinced that it is going to be a really bad place to live.

Not that I have all the answers either.  Hopefully this article can get some debates started, and hopefully those debates will help people that are thinking of moving to another state to be more informed.

{ Think about this! By wobama’s own criteria in his last total b***s*** campaign, he should be stepping down; having failed on all counts and then some. He also promised to cut the nation’s deficit in half by the end of his term; yet, he has increased the nation’s deficit by a record amount greater than all the presidents since Eisenhower COMBINED ($5 trillion). He has done this to help cover up his unequivocal failure by any standard by which you measure a presidency, including his own. People in america must show the Washingtonians they are not doormats! They must stand up and let these politicos know that results count; particularly promised results. Absent positive results as with unmitigated failure, choom-gang-banger wobama, they get the boot. President Romney deserves the 4 years he’ll have to turn this disaster called america around. If President Romney doesn’t cut the mustard in 4 years as promised, then he will be out. Results Count! I believe that people in the final analysis will choose self-respect; that is, choose NOT to be wobama’s doormat. Despite and contrary to wobama’s spin/propagandameisters’ desperate spin/outright falsity which addresses anything but wobama’s clear record of failure, President Romney is smart enough, flexible enough, and with a record of concrete results behind him as compared to wobama choom fantasy/b***s***, President Romney will be a hands-on President to the entire nation in the most positive sense. As such, I believe people will choose self-respect, reality, real results which will make President Romney’s election a substantial margin blowout victory!

Obama Is Using The Curiosity Landing To Push Government Spending

Business Insider | President Barack Obama congratulated NASA on its successful mission to send a robotic rover to Mars tonight, calling the landing of the Curiosity an unprecedented feat of technology.  {  Riiiiight! ..  Geeeh! And here, I already thought theyve already done that and, its so helped americas fiscal and economic position in the solar system!  } {  MISSIONS TO MARS TIMELINE: 1992 to 2004

September 25, 1992 - Mars Observer launched. Spacecraft designed to map the martian surface from orbit with a large, sophisticated science payload.

August, 1993 - contact lost with Mars Observer.

1995 - NASA selects Mars Polar Lander for 1999 launch.

1996 - Athena Mars Rover mission proposed (unsuccessfully) to NASA Discovery Program for launch in 2002.

November 7, 1996 - Mars Global Surveyor launched.

{ Im really constrained to interject my own direct experience with the FBI here; and, I must say I do so lamentably. If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the tough questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal drug ops (opsriiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You cant make this stuff up. I also dont believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. Im beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the federal (judicial) system who share the same employer; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared more fairly with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:

In mob infested new jersey, who knows (one of the properties in my proceedings for which surplus funds are unaccounted for was a 2 bedroom 1 and 1/2 bath condominium in seaside heights, n.j.). But debauchery an american specialty?

Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard.

SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE DEBT LIMIT
Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

ATF Chief Melson:Justice Department trying to shield officials (LATimes) Serrano

 

I believe him!

 I truly empathize with the ATF in terms of government cover-ups, notably by even the DOJ. Youll recognize some familiar names (ie., Alito, Trump, Freeh (Louis Freeh now has dual citizenship with Italy), and some familiar crimes (ie., drug money laundering, etc. real cash cow for govt ops, bribes, etc.). [Did you know this about the following ATF Agents who were probably viewed as loose ends: Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeahan & Conway LeBleu:   Died February 28, 1993 by gunfire at Waco. All four were examined by a pathologist and died from identical wounds to the left temple. All four had been body guards for Bill Clinton, three while campaigning for President and when he was Governor of Arkansas.They also were the ONLY 4 BATF agents killed at Waco. ]

Heres some real, complicit cover-up / fraud on the part of the federal government, et als:

Federal Bureau of Investigation, USDOJ

Los Angeles, CA 90024

 

 Dear Sir:

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computers browser) as per your offices request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which Ive installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named 112208opocoan). The (civil) RICO action (as youre aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBIs LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation Andrew Maloneys the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..

Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.

The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages:   [  Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File        Page 1                Page 2          ]

Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [   transcript in pertinent part -     http://albertpeia.com/crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf    ]

Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.],   Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. 43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

 

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

 

Sincerely,

Albert L. Peia

Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [ http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world ] ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

Senate Throws The Book At HSBC Accusing It Of Massive "Money Laundering And Terrorist Financing", No Comment On NAR Money Laundering Yet

Just because there is already an overflow of confidence in the financial system, here comes the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee On Investigations with a 340 page report detailing how HSBC "exposed the U.S. financial system to a wide array of money laundering, drug trafficking, and terrorist financing risks due to poor anti-money laundering (AML) controls." Of course, since HSBC is one of the world's largest banks, what it did was not in any way unique, and it is quite fair to say that every other bank has the same loose anti-money "laundering" provisions. What HSBC was likely most at fault for was not providing sufficient hush money to the appropriate powers in the highest US legislative administration. But at least tomorrow we will have yet another dog and pony show, accusing that HSBC did what the NAR does every single day. Because let's not forget that the National Association of Realtors lobbied for and received a waiver for anti-money laundering provision regulations: after all how else will US real estate remain at its current elevated levels if not for the drug, blood, and fraud money from various Russian, Chinese, and petrodollar kingpins, mafia bosses and otherwise rich people who need to launder their money in the US, in the process keeping Manhattan real estate in the stratosphere? But one can't possibly pursue the real truth if it just may impair the fair value of that backbone of honest, hard-working US society: still massively overpriced housing in a world in which those who need mortgages will never get them.

CURL: Gift to Romney...  { This may seem somewhat counterintuitive and a bit of a rationalization; but, it is absolutely true. So true in fact, that wobama will come to be compared to Pyrrhus of Ephyrus (W. Greece) since realization of what this legislation won’t do for americans and the economy and what it actually does will not have the galvanizing effect that striking the bill down would have had on voters who were thinking ‘another free lunch from the government’ will save them (we all now know better, no such thing). Yes, in somewhat European tradition, defacto bankrupt america is keeping up with the (ie., rating agencies Egan) Joneses. After all, we all know how well this European program model is working out for Europe (and any other nation that’s tried it). In the final analysis, this and such programs as the contraindicated bailouts for the unprosecuted frauds on wall street, etc., will prove to be the ‘camel-back breaking’ moment for america; and, a pyrrhic victory for the egregiously failed president wobama.  America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke. There are signs everywhere one looks…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion }

Come on! More obfuscation! In a world such as this, human nature being what it is, ‘bigger is definitely not better’! They’re pushing on a string! Time for accountability! Time to pay the piper! Additionally, people must come to grips with the reality that wobama hasn’t the slightest idea what he’s doing; hence, the over-vacationed teleprompter reader whose ‘handlers’ have literally taken over policy, with some ‘slick’ maneuvering to try and repackage him; ultimately to no avail inasmuch as his disastrous results at home and abroad speak volumes. If only he had done what he said he was going to do last campaign, this nation and the world would have been in a better position today! }

WALL STREET DOES BROADWAY

http://albertpeia.com/wallstreetdoesbroadway.htm

http://albertpeia.com/collapseofderivativesmarket.htm

 

Lot of whistling down there on wall street as ‘WALL STREET DOES BROADWAY’ (not Main Street mind you, they’re for screwin’) … Rogers and Hamerstein to be exact with their recurring theme going thusly:

 

Whenever the frauds on wall street feel afraid,

Their penises get erect (for screwin’ someone other than their deserving selves),

They whistle a happy tune,

So no one will suspect,

They’re afraid.

 

While shivering in their shoes,

They strike a fearless pose,

And whistle a happy tune,

So no one will suppose,

They’re afraid.

 

Yeah, lots and lots of whistling on fraudulent wall street. So uniquely fashioned to their task of obfuscation and fraud, even Humphrey Bogart would have found Lauren Bacall’s instructive direction for same as wanting in comparison (not everyone will get this…famous, but strictly unreal cinematic show biz, not the live fraud biz of wall street fame). I believe much of this soft shoe song and dance was for the ‘benefit’ of european markets which are hopelessly in the throes of their own confrontation with reality, which despite all the whistling is all going to get much worse than feared, fearless poses notwithstanding (see infra).

12 Pictures That Demonstrate How The New World Order Openly Mocks Us

http://albertpeia.com/newworldordervedgesmockus.htm

{ First, let me say that the vedges of the so-called new world order are in no real position to mock anyone, so mockable as they indeed are, as the incompetent vegetables that they in fact are, who have been the very architects of ultimately their own and the planets decline, fall, and demise. Yet, there is no question but that the masses so mocked, deserve to be mocked, having embraced their dismal fate at every turn; viz., their embrace of political correctness, though contraindicated, as, ie., the embrace of the violent, destructive nigger who literally would have them for dinner, or the compulsion to embrace that which the state says is right, though contraindicated, for political expedience owing to failure fed (including the incompetent missteps of the failed fed) desperation, ie., gay marriage, etc., contrived wars / conflicts, among other clearly observable, self-interested behavior of people, companies, nations, including the gargantuan bailed out frauds on wall street to everyones (but the frauds) detriment, still unprosecuted. That the jive-talking, b***s*** artist/grifter/con-man obama has not been held to even one of his former now broken campaign promises and is embraced by those foolish enough to believe more of the same is testament to how deserving of mocking the masses truly are (people should be outraged and wobama should be ridden out on a rail). Make no mistake; the reality is that the new world order/so-called elite are not elite at all; but rather, incompetent vegetables who cant do anything right as theyve now proven time and time again. As I previously said: The Elite Believe That You Are Ruining Their Planet And They Want You To Stop Reproducing

{ First and foremost clarification: There are no elite on this planet. The grim reality for this planet is a dominant species descended from initially notochords, primitive chordates, and relatively more recently primitive apes.

[   12 Pictures That Demonstrate How The New World Order Openly Mocks Us http://albertpeia.com/newworldordervedgesmockus.htm  { First, let me say that the vedges of the so-called new world order are in no real position to mock anyone, so mockable as they indeed are, as the incompetent vegetables that they in fact are, who have been the very architects of ultimately their own and the planets decline, fall, and demise. Yet, there is no question but that the masses so mocked, deserve to be mocked, having embraced their dismal fate at every turn; viz., their embrace of political correctness, though contraindicated, as, ie., the embrace of the violent, destructive nigger who literally would have them for dinner, or the compulsion to embrace that which the state says is right, though contraindicated, for political expedience owing to failure fed (including the incompetent missteps of the failed fed) desperation, ie., gay marriage, etc., contrived wars / conflicts, among other clearly observable, self-interested behavior of people, companies, nations, including the gargantuan bailed out frauds on wall street to everyones (but the frauds) detriment, still unprosecuted. That the jive-talking, b***s*** artist/grifter/con-man obama has not been held to even one of his former now broken campaign promises and is embraced by those foolish enough to believe more of the same is testament to how deserving of mocking the masses truly are (people should be outraged and wobama should be ridden out on a rail). Make no mistake; the reality is that the new world order/so-called elite are not elite at all; but rather, incompetent vegetables who cant do anything right as theyve now proven time and time again.

Evidence Obama Born In Kenya Goes Beyond 1991 Brochure

Paul Joseph Watson | Establishment media pulls stunt in effort to diffuse birther controversy.

Establishment media pulls stunt in effort to diffuse birther controversy

Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com Friday, May 18, 2012

The establishment media hastily seized on yesterdays explosive story about a literary publication listing Barack Obamas birthplace as Kenya in an effort to claim that the 1991 brochure was the origin of the entire birther issue. In reality, evidence that Obama was born in the African country is abundant.

A literary agents promotional text for a 1991 brochure released yesterday by Breitbart.com states Obama was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.

Yahoo News, along with a deluge of other mainstream news outlets, responded by reporting that the document was potentially the source of the birther controversy and had merely been a mistake.

The literary agent who wrote the description, Miriam Goderich, now works with Dystel & Goderich agency, which lists Obama as one of its clients. Unsurprising therefore that Goderich hastily claimed listing Obamas birthplace as Kenya was nothing more than a fact checking error.

However, evidence to indicate that Obama war born in Kenya is plentiful and it goes significantly beyond the 1991 version of the brochure.

- Despite claiming the passage about Obamas birthplace being Kenya was a mistake, the listing still maintained that Obamas birthplace was Kenya until after Obama became a U.S. Senator. Goderichs statement fails to explain why the fact checking error persisted for sixteen years, through at least three different versions of Jane Dystels website, and through at least four different versions of Obamas biography, reports Breitbart.com.

- The literary agency also updated the text in June 1998, but the part about Obama being born in Kenya was retained.

- The text was again updated in February 2005 to reflect the fact that Obama had become a Senator, but Kenya was still listed as his birthplace.

- After an April 2007 modification of the text, the passage still read Obama, was born in Kenya.

- As Steve Boman reveals, the Dystel & Goderich agency asks its clients to submit their own biography, meaning its virtually impossible the listing of Obamas birthplace as Kenya could have been a fact checking error on behalf of the literary company itself.

- During a speech about HIV, First Lady Michelle Obama said she and Barack Obama visited his home country of Kenya. Watch the clip below.

- In 2008, Obamas paternal step grandmother appeared to indicate publicly that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. In an interview conducted by American Christian minister Ron McRae, Sarah Obama was asked, Were you present when your grandson was born in Kenya?’” McRae testified in his sworn statement. This was asked to her in translation twice, and both times she replied, Yes! Yes she was! She was present when Obama was born.

- Another source who met Sarah Obama told World Net Daily, I have keenly and attentively listened to the tape over and over again, and I can confirm from Sarahs own confession that Barack Obama was born in Kenya in her presence.

- A separate Kenyan government official agreed, stating, I have listened to the tape. The preacher asked whether Barack Obama was born in Mombassa, and the translator asked the same. When she said Mombassa, it was like a surprise, and those there thought she could not have meant to say Mombassa.

- When New York Times bestselling author Jerome Corsi traveled to Kenya to investigate the claims, he was almost immediately kicked out of the country by Kenyan officials.

- When Kenyas National Security Intelligence Service investigated claims that Obama was born in Kenya, officials in Nairobi found relevant birth records may have been removed or were missing.

- Obama has deep political connections in Kenya. From 2006 onwards he rallied in support of Islamist Raila Odinga in Kenya, helping him impose Sharia law. When Odinga lost the Kenyan election in 2008, his supporters rioted, unleashing a wave of violence. Despite the bloodshed, Obama used his influence to aid Odinga in retaining his position as part of a coalition government.

For the mainstream media to imply that the 1991 brochure is the source of the claim that Obama was born in Kenya is completely inaccurate. Not only was that brochure updated many times right up until 2007, with the information about Obamas birthplace being Kenya retained, but there are numerous other factors which all indicate that Kenya could indeed be Obamas homeland.

Forrester: Apple is Entering a Long Decline Written by Damon Poeter PC Magazine ‘ At least one analyst is bucking the trend of gushing over Apple. Forrester Research chief executive George Colony laid out his case in a blog post Wednesday for why he thinks the company will start looking like just another tech .. ‘ [ As much as I like Apple, my first computer, and am glad they survived in a big way, I’m constrained to agree. Moreover, and I can’t prove this, I believe there to be some ‘soft’ stimulation of the heavily weighted, more bang for the buck, Apple stock by way of subsidized purchases. Remember those $275,000 per car government purchases, and the $278,000 cost per stimulus job? What’s $500 per ipad or iphone, etc., to a nation hopelessly, insurmountably indebted to the tune of $211 trillion, especially in their election year desperation. This should in no way be construed as a slight to Cook; but rather, just the reality there’s a limit to what one’s willing to pay for fairly common utility. That said, I’d still buy an IPad since, as with the ipod and the simple technology involved, amazingly, ultimate competitors as, ie., microsoft with zune, etc., didn’t measure up at all! I think the IPhone’s totally underwhelming! Contrary to the tenor of the article, I believe charisma has nothing whatsoever to do with the inevitable decline ahead; and, not just Apple.   ]

At least one analyst is bucking the trend of gushing over Apple. Forrester Research chief executive George Colony laid out his case in a blog post Wednesday for why he thinks the company will start looking like just another tech companies within the next four years unless it finds another "special, magical" leader like Steve Jobs.

Colony's position couldn't be more contrarian. Apple just reported record March quarter profits while selling tens of millions of its iPhones, iPads, and Mac computers. In the past few months, other analysts have been jockeying to tout Apple's share price, currently at just over $600 per share, for gains past the $800, $900, and even $1,000 threshold.

But if Apple's riding high now, that's not going to last, according to Colony.

"Apple will decline in the post Steve Jobs era," he writes, explaining that Apple under Jobs fit the bill as a "charismatic organization ... headed by people with the 'gift of grace'." Succession in such an organization is particularly difficult because while bureaucratic and traditional organizations have processes and rituals to elevate new leadership, "[i]n charismatic organizations, the magical leader must be succeeded by another charismaticthe emotional connection of employees and (in the case of Apple) customers demands it."

Colony quotes liberally from Max Weber's The Theory of Social and Economic Organization and Adam Lashinky's Inside Apple to build his case that Apple will "coast" over the next 24 to 48 months and "then decelerate."

What about the processes Jobs himself put in place at Apple to ensure that his vision and management style would endure at the company after he was gone? Apple University and other company initiatives fostered by Jobs won't do the trick, Colony claims, quoting Weber: "Charisma can only be awakened and tested, it cannot be learned or taught."

Colony argues that Jobs' successor, Tim Cook, has a "legal/bureaucratic approach" to leading Apple that "will prove to be a mismatch for an organization that feeds off the gift of grace." Instead of Cook, the company should turn to Jonathan Ive or Scott Forstall to be CEO, the analyst writes.

If Apple doesn't get another magical charismatic leader, Colony concludes, it risks turning into Sony after Akio Morita or Polaroid post-Edwin Landa company that goes from great to merely good in a few short years./

The United States Has Plenty Of Oil: 10 Facts About America's Energy Resources That Will Blow Your Mind

http://endoftheamericandream.com

http://albertpeia.com/10factsaboutamericanenergyresources.htm

[ Well, first off, since were only talking decades at best, I agree the alarmist propaganda is all for naught. Yet, make no mistake, those who equate shale oil, deep water oil, etc., with that close to the surface, easily recovered, ie., sweet crude, are as misguided. Its kind of like that asteroid mining thats become the rage. Firstly, in hollywood (oh yeah, weve seen them digitally land on asteroids, planets as in Avatar, etc., with ease and without a hitch), they dont keep books the way other businesses do, at least on the creative end, viz., ie., Cameron. And, what do you expect a former pilot to say, etc.? As an example of fuel price makes a difference, anyone who thinks american airlines among others went bankrupt because theyre so horribly managed or because they felt like strategically avoiding their debt would be mistaken. For airlines its all about fuel costs and load factors, capital intensive that they are,  and pennies literally do make a difference. Costs of extraction make a difference. Oh sure, theres loads of oil. Its all about the costs of getting it. Peak oil really has been reached in terms of easy pickins. Some even argue/document persuasively that current reserves of the easy pickins are over-stated.  ]

24 Outrageous Facts About Taxes In The United States That Will Blow Your Mind

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com

 

 

http://albertpeia.com/24factsaboutmindblowingustaxes.htm

The U.S. tax code is a complete and utter abomination and it needs to be thrown out entirely.  Nobody in their right mind would ever read the whole thing - it is over 3 million words long.  Each year, Americans spend billions of hours and hundreds of billions of dollars trying to comply with federal tax requirements.  Sadly, it is the honest, hard working Americans in the middle class that always get hit the hardest.  The tax code is absolutely riddled with loopholes that big corporations and the ultra-wealthy use to minimize their tax burdens as much as possible.  Many poor people do not pay any income taxes at all.  The dishonest are rewarded for cheating on their taxes (if they can get away with it) and the ultra-wealthy have moved trillions of dollars to offshore tax havens where they can avoid U.S. taxation altogether.  Our system is incredibly unfair to the millions of hard working people in the middle class and upper middle class that drag themselves out of bed and go to work each day and try to do the right thing.  In addition, the current U.S. tax system is incredibly inefficient, it diverts a tremendous amount of resources away from more valuable economic activities, and it has chased thousands of businesses and trillions of dollars out of the United States.  The U.S. tax code is such a complete and utter mess at this point that it can never be "fixed".  The only rational thing to do is to abolish it completely, and any politician that tells you otherwise is lying to you.

The following are 24 outrageous facts about taxes in the United States that will blow your mind....

#1 - The U.S. tax code is now 3.8 million words long.  If you took all of William Shakespeare's works and collected them together, the entire collection would only be about 900,000 words long.

#2 - According to the National Taxpayers Union, U.S. taxpayers spend more than 7.6 billion hours complying with federal tax requirements.  Imagine what our society would look like if all that time was spent on more economically profitable activities.

#3 - 75 years ago, the instructions for Form 1040 were two pages long.  Today, they are 189 pages long.

#4 - There have been 4,428 changes to the tax code over the last decade.  It is incredibly costly to change tax software, tax manuals and tax instruction booklets for all of those changes.

#5 - According to the National Taxpayers Union, the IRS currently has 1,999 different publications, forms, and instruction sheets that you can download from the IRS website.

#6 - Our tax system has become so complicated that it is almost impossible to file your taxes correctly.  For example, back in 1998 Money Magazine had 46 different tax professionals complete a tax return for a hypothetical household.  All 46 of them came up with a different result.

#7 - In 2009, PC World had five of the most popular tax preparation software websites prepare a tax return for a hypothetical household.  All five of them came up with a different result.

#8 - The IRS spends $2.45 for every $100 that it collects in taxes.

#9 - According to The Tax Foundation, the average American has to work until April 17th just to pay federal, state, and local taxes.  Back in 1900, "Tax Freedom Day" came on January 22nd.

#10 - When the U.S. government first implemented a personal income tax back in 1913, the vast majority of the population paid a rate of just 1 percent, and the highest marginal tax rate was just 7 percent.

#11 - Residents of New Jersey pay $1.64 in taxes for every $1.00 of federal spending that they get back.

#12 - The United States is the only nation on the planet that tries to tax citizens on what they earn in foreign countries.

#13 - According to Forbes, the 400 highest earning Americans pay an average federal income tax rate of just 18 percent.

#14 - Warren Buffett had an effective tax rate of just 17.4 percent for 2010.

#15 - The top 20 percent of all income earners in the United States pay approximately 86 percent of all federal income taxes.

#16 - Sadly, as Bill Whittle has shown, you could take every single penny that every American earns above $250,000 and it would only fund about 38 percent of the federal budget.

#17 - The United States has the highest corporate tax rate in the world (35 percent).  In Ireland, the corporate tax rate is only 12.5 percent.  This is causing thousands of corporations to move operations out of the United States and into other countries.

#18 - Some tax havens are doing a booming business in setting up sham headquarters for U.S. corporations.  For example, the city of Zug, Switzerland only has a population of 26,000 people but it is the headquarters for 30,000 companies.

#19 - In 1950, corporate taxes accounted for about 30 percent of all federal revenue.  In 2012, corporate taxes will account for less than 7 percent of all federal revenue.

#20 - In a previous article, I discussed how many of our largest corporations make huge profits and yet pay less than nothing in taxes....

What U.S. corporations are able to get away with is absolutely amazing.

The following figures come directly out of a report by Citizens for Tax Justice.  These are combined figures for the tax years 2008, 2009 and 2010.

During those three years, all of the corporations below made a lot of money.  Yet all of them paid net taxes that were below zero for those three years combined.

How is that possible?  Well, it turns out that instead of paying in taxes to the federal government, they were actually getting money back.

So for these corporations, their rate of taxation was actually below zero.

If you have not seen these before, you are going to have a hard time believing some of these statistics.....

*Honeywell*

Profits: $4.9 billion

Taxes: -$34 million

*Fed Ex*

Profits: $3 billion

Taxes: -$23 million

*Wells Fargo*

Profits: $49.37 billion

Taxes: -$681 million

*Boeing*

Profits: $9.7 billion

Taxes: -$178 million

*Verizon*

Profits: $32.5 billion

Taxes: -$951 million

*Dupont*

Profits: $2.1 billion

Taxes -$72 million

*American Electric Power*

Profits: $5.89 billion

Taxes -$545 million

*General Electric*

Profits: $7.7 billion

Taxes: -$4.7 billion

Are you starting to get the picture?

#21 - Exxon-Mobil paid $15 billion in taxes in 2009, but not a single penny went to the U.S. government.

#22 - Many wealthy Americans hide enormous amounts of money outside the country in order to avoid paying taxes.  According to the IMF, a total of 18 trillion dollars is currently being hidden in offshore banks.

#23 - The number of traffic accidents spikes each year right around April 15th.  The following is from a recent Bloomberg article....

Deaths from traffic accidents around April 15, traditionally the last day to file individual income taxes in the U.S., rose 6 percent on average on each of the last 30 years of tax filing days compared with a day during the week prior and a week later, according to research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

#24 - Most of the tax debate is focused on income taxes, but the truth is that Americans pay dozens of other taxes every single year.  The following are just a few of the taxes that many Americans pay....

#1 Building Permit Taxes

#2 Capital Gains Taxes

#3 Cigarette Taxes

#4 Court Fines (indirect taxes)

#5 Dog License Taxes

#6 Federal Unemployment Taxes

#7 Fishing License Taxes

#8 Food License Taxes

#9 Gasoline Taxes

#10 Gift Taxes

#11 Hunting License Taxes

#12 Inheritance Taxes

#13 Inventory Taxes

#14 IRS Interest Charges (tax on top of tax)

#15 IRS Penalties (tax on top of tax)

#16 Liquor Taxes

#17 Luxury Taxes

#18 Marriage License Taxes

#19 Medicare Taxes

#20 Property Taxes

#21 Recreational Vehicle Taxes

#22 Toll Booth Taxes

#23 Sales Taxes

#24 Self-Employment Taxes

#25 School Taxes

#26 Septic Permit Taxes

#27 Service Charge Taxes

#28 Social Security Taxes

#29 State Unemployment Taxes (SUTA)

#30 Telephone Federal Excise Taxes

#31 Telephone Federal Universal Service Fee Taxes

#32 Telephone Minimum Usage Surcharge Taxes

#33 Telephone State And Local Taxes

#34 Tire Taxes

#35 Toll Bridge Taxes

#36 Toll Tunnel Taxes

#37 Traffic Fines (indirect taxation)

#38 Utility Taxes

#39 Vehicle License Registration Taxes

#40 Vehicle Sales Taxes

#41 Workers Compensation Taxes

When you account for all forms of taxation on the federal, state and local levels there are many Americans that pay out more than half of their incomes in taxes.

We are being taxed into oblivion, and yet most Americans do not even realize that it is happening.

It is kind of like being killed by thousands of tiny cuts.

So what do all of these taxes buy us?

They buy us a massively bloated government that wastes money on some of the craziest things imaginable.

Millions of Americans work for the federal government, and yet most of them produce very little of real economic value.  The following comes from a recent National Review article....

By 2005, the federal government employed 14.6 million people: 1.9 million civil servants, 770,000 postal workers, 1.44 million uniformed service personnel, 7.6 million contractors, and 2.9 million grantees. This amounted to a ratio of five and a half shadow government employees for every civil servant on the federal payroll. Since 1999, the government had grown by over 4.5 million employees.

According to that same article, when you add in state and local government workers the numbers are even more dramatic....

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are 3.8 million full-time and 1.5 million part-time employees on state payrolls. Local governments add a further 11 million full-time and 3.2 million part-time personnel. This means that state and local governments combined employ 19.5 million Americans.

Yes, we do need some government.  For example, without any law enforcement at all our society would descend into complete chaos, and without any military at all we would be completely open to foreign conquest.

In order to have a stable, secure society we do need some government.

However, we definitely do not need the massively bloated government that we have today.

The truth is that most government employees are a drain on the system.  Most of them just push paper around.  I used to work in Washington D.C. so I know what pushing paper around is all about.

And as I wrote about yesterday, there are millions of other Americans that enjoy a comfortable existence at the expense of the federal government without doing any work whatsoever.

Of course the biggest welfare recipients of all are the big corporations.  All forms of corporate welfare should be eliminated immediately.

When are U.S. taxpayers going to get sick and tired of paying for all of this?

Every single year, the federal government, state governments and local governments drain massive amounts of desperately needed money from hard working middle class families.

Then they take that money and spend it on incredibly foolish things.

When are American voters going to stand up and boldly declare that they have been taxed enough already and they aren't going to take it anymore?

The current tax code is completely and utterly broken and it is beyond repair.

Unfortunately, neither the Republicans or the Democrats are proposing that we should get rid of it.

So we are just going to continue to get more of the same year after year, and it is the middle class that will feel the pain.

Any financial system that is based on debt is doomed to fail.  Today, we are living in the greatest debt bubble that the world has ever seen, and if all of a sudden people could not use credit to buy things our economy would immediately ground to a halt.  Unfortunately, no debt bubble can last forever.  When this current debt bubble finally bursts, faith in the financial system is going to disappear, credit is going to freeze up and there is going to be a massive wave of bank failures.

Drug war hypocrisy: drug trafficking’s big money benefits Big Brother and corrupt banksters  PF Louis | The hypocrisy of the war on drugs is centers on the amount of drug trafficking that benefits the CIA and international banking system.

Today in Afghanistan, American troops have been seen guarding poppy fields used to make heroin. Those fields were all but wiped out by 2001 when the Taliban destroyed them and forbade that agricultural pursuit. Now theyre flourishing again after the American occupation.

This doesnt make sense despite all the mainstream reports that American troops are protecting the poppy farmers from the bad guys. Internet sites such as Prison Planet, Info Wars, The Political Coffeehouse and others report otherwise. They connect the CIA and US military to restarting the poppy fields in Afghanistan in 2002, increasing poppy growth by over 650 percent. Whos telling it like it is?

One way the CIA keeps their drug trafficking hidden from public view

The CIAs secret operations to influence journalism started in the 1950s by infiltrating the media and bribing journalists to be operatives and assets for the CIA. By 1976, then CIA director William Colby reportedly bragged that the CIA owned the press. Supposedly, this too secret to name operation was coined Operation Mockingbird by Deborah Davis in her book Katherine the Great.

Operation Mockingbird worked well against prize winning journalist Gary Webb when his newspaper, the San Jose Mercury News, ran his in depth series on CIA drug trafficking that flooded the USA to help finance the CIA backed Nicaraguan Contras during the 1980s.

Journalists all over the USA jumped on the series, claiming Webbs journalism was shoddy. The newspaper had to recant and fire him, and Gary Webb was black listed from mainstream journalism completely.

 

Webb retaliated by having his book Dark Alliance published and making the NY Times best seller list, forcing some of his critics to privately eat crow after the fact.

Despite the CIAs control of the press, a few Mexico and Central America cocaine busts of plane cargoes and discoveries of large cocaine stashes on crashed planes with CIA hired pilots flying them for front companies did hit the mainstream news, albeit briefly.

Remember the movie Air America? It was based on an actual CIA owned front company transporting tons of heroin from Southeast Asias Golden Triangle poppy fields during and after the Vietnam conflicts. Now Afghanistan and the Golden Crescent are the featured opium/heroin conduit sources.

Government and big business using drug traffic profits is nothing new

When the U.S. government made deals with the Cosa Nostra mafia to help police ports and harbors during WW II, they breathed life into the heroin trade. Eventually, Marseilles, France was set up by the Corsican mafia to become the French Connection for heroin traffic.

But opium trade history goes back further, to colonial times and early America. Thats when American shipping magnates used their fast Clipper Ships to compete with Englands monarch sanctioned dope running East India Company for transporting opium to China.

A few key players created family fortunes from the China opium trade that exist today within some northeast Americas old money families.

Among the familiar family names, according to Wikipedia (source below) is Forbes. Another source mentions Astor, a prominently wealthy philanthropic family around New York today (Wiki source below). In those days, trafficking dope was a legitimate business endeavor, immoral but not illegal.

Now it is illegal as well. Ironically, this allows the biggest illicit drug providers to financially benefit the CIA and international banking.

Another excellent source for debt sustainability analysis comes from Jeffery Gundlach, manager of the 2011 top-performing U.S. bond fund. Mr. Gundlach was recently interviewed by the Financial Times. He does not subscribe to the theory European leaders can “put a Band Aid on a system which didn’t break a week ago…’

My Christmas Cards Predict "Eternal Conflict" And "Economic Disaster" Forbes Robert Lenzner  For the first time in my life, some Christmas messages are  weighing in  about the worrisome condition of  US economy and the financial markets as well as  family news.  Obviously, the crisis we are  facing is  triggering disheartening expressions of concern at holiday time.

This from  a former state finance chairman for George Bush, who is so distressed he is staying out of the primary race.

On Jobs; I wonder why our candidates have not come forward to feature as the main and vital keystone of their campaign that sector in the economy which can create millions of jobs and solve our huge foreign trade deficit converting our $300 billion plus purchase of foreign oil to domestic energy electrification of transportation, more natural gas, nuclear, more domestic oil drilling, clean coal, and all the domestic alternatives.

On the deficit:  I have also become very disheartened with our politicians inability to strike a grand compromise on reducing  the federal deficit. We are considerably constrained by the Grover Norquist tax pledge signed by so many Republicans, wherein an elimination of a tax loophole which takes the recovered revenue and applies it to reduce debt is considered a tax increase and therefore unacceptable. This position will never allow the Republicans to negotiate and compromise( a noble word) with the democrats on a combination of a massive expense reduction with a modest revenue increase.

All this from a conservative Republican in a key state who is utterly frustrated by eternal gridlock in Washington“— and determined to spend considerably more quality time with his family. All this ranting in a Christmas card; its a first.

Then, theres the retired New England real estate consultant and developer who is fearful about the impending winter. The world seems to be perilously close to economic disaster and depression, and folks are rushing out to buy gold and guns.

 

 

A Very Scary Christmas And An Incredibly Frightening New Year http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com  Can you hear that?  It almost sounds like a little bit of peace and quiet.  This year, the holiday season has been fairly uneventful, and for that we should be very grateful.  But it isn't going to last long.  2012 is going to be a much more difficult year for the U.S. economy and the global financial system than 2011 has been.  So if things are going well for you right now, enjoy this little bubble of peace and tranquility while you can.  Because while things may look calm on the surface right now, the truth is that this is a very scary Christmas for financial professionals and world leaders.  Most of them know how fragile the global financial system is at the moment.  Most of them know that we are living in the greatest bubble of debt, leverage and financial risk that the world has ever seen.  As I wrote about the other day, world leaders would not be throwing huge bailouts around like crazy if everything was going to be just fine.  The truth is that we are rapidly approaching another financial crisis that may end up being even worse than the horrific crash of 2008…’

 

 

Interbank Markets Are Telling Investors To Sell The Rally Again http://www.bullseyemicrocaps.com/?p=30070 12-23-11 The biggest question weighing on investors as we move into the final week of the year is how long Europe can be ignored. The S&P 500 has rallied 5% since testing and holding support at 1200 and is now firmly into resistance, an ideal spot for short sellers to lay out positions.European banks continue to tell equity market investors to stand aside. The ECB overnight deposit facility saw deposits swell to EUR346.9 billion overnight, up 31% from December 21st. A fair amount of the recently ECB auctioned EUR489 billion ended up right back at the ECB instead of in the interbank lending market.The ECB also reported a second week of anemic sovereign bond buying.

It's Official: US Debt-To-GDP Passes 100% With precisely one year left for the world and all of its inhabitants, at least according to the Mayans, not to mention on the day of the Winter Solstice, it is only fitting that US debt, net of all settlements for all already completed bond auctions, is now at precisely $15,182,756,264,288.80. Why is this relevant? Because the latest annualized US GDP, according to the BEA, was $15,180,900,000.00. Which means that, as of today, total US debt to GDP is 100.012%. Congratulations America: you are now in the triple digit "debt to GDP" club!

 

 

Mark Faber: "I Am Convinced The Whole Derivatives Market Will Cease To Exist And Will Go To Zero"Anyone seeking joyous holiday greetings and cheerful forecasts for the new year is advised to not listen to the following most recent Mark Faber interview, in which in addition to his predictions for 2012 (led with "more printing" by the dodecatupling +1 down central planners of course, and far less prosperity), we get the following: "I am convinced the whole derivatives market will cease to exit. Will become zero. And when it happens I don't know: you can postpone the problems with monetary measures for a long time but you can't solve them... Greece should have defaulted - it would have sent a message that not all derivatives are equal because it depends on the counterparty." And on the long-term future: "I am ultra bearish. I think most people will be lucky if they still have 50% of their money in 5 years time. You have to have diversification - some real estate in the countryside, some gold and some equities because if you think it through, say Germany 1900 to today, we had WWI, we had hyperinflation, WWII, cash holders and bondholders they lost everything 3 times, but if you owned equities you'd be ok. In equities in general you will not lose it all, it may not be a good investment, unless you put it all in one company and it goes bankrupt." As for gold: "I am worried that one day the government will take it away." As for the one thing he hates the most? No surprise here -government bonds.

 

 

 

 

 

Has the Global Economy Been Zapped by ZIRP?  Minyanville  Eugene Linden Dec 21, 2011 ‘Zero interest rate policies dominate the world's largest economies -- a situation that's contributing to the worsening pension crisis, the unnaturally buoyant equity markets, the need for quantitative easing, and even the bull market in gold. Read more: http://www.minyanville.com/businessmarkets/articles/zero-interest-rate-policy-zirp-us/12/21/2011/id/38513#ixzz1hFyFn7Pb  Eclipsed by Europe’s sovereign debt agony has been one overriding, but overlooked factor that will increasingly distort economies and the financial markets as 2012 unfolds: the Zero-Interest-Rate-Policy. ZIRP is now as encompassing and pervasive as the air we breathe, and this in itself is unprecedented.

Historically, examples of ZIRP are few and far between – and usually very brief – but now ZIRP and near-ZIRP dominate the
interest rate policies for most of the world’s largest economies. We’re in uncharted territory. More worrisome, the longer an economy embraces ZIRP, the harder it is to extricate itself. In fact, as far as I can tell, no one has exited extended ZIRP intact and voluntarily. Some, like Kyle Bass, argue that once a nation gets trapped in ZIRP for an extended period, the only escape is through debt restructuring. Others say war.

ZIRP has been the policy of the United States since 2008; it has been the policy of Japan for most of the past two decades, and it is becoming the policy of the ECB, at least in terms of ECB short-term funding. Currently, over two trillion dollars of US debt is paying zero or near zero interest, as is trillions more debt in Japan and elsewhere. This unprecedented situation has contributed to the worsening pension crisis, the unnaturally buoyant equity markets, the rescue of US banks, the need for quantitative easing, and even the
bull market in gold. It has spectacularly failed in its originally trumpeted mission to restart lending to the consumer (the money multiplier is still near all-time lows). And now, central bankers are discovering that ZIRP is a poisoned chalice.

The problem is as simple and intractable as human nature. So long as there's a market willing to buy a government’s debt (or buyers who can be forced to buy said debt), ZIRP offers the promise of vast new funds with virtually no increase in carrying costs. If the problem is short-term liquidity, the theory is that ZIRP buys the time necessary to restart growth. If the problem is solvency, however, ZIRP is viewed as an alternative to a painful restructuring. In that case (e.g. Japan), the rotten debts remain on the books of the banks, hobbling the lending that is necessary for the economic growth that will enable the central bankers to wean the economy off the drug.

Faced with little or no economic growth and anemic tax receipts, central bankers keep pumping out new debt. When Japan started with ZIRP, its debt to GDP ratio was 40%. In 2003 it was 93%. Now it’s 234%, and Japan’s aging buyers (Japanese purchase 95% of the country’s new debt) are starting to spend for their retirement, rather than save. Across the Pacific in the US, debt-to-GDP was 57% in 2000; in 2008, when the US adopted ZIRP, debt to GDP was about 68%; in the three years since it has risen to 99%.

The US did begin to approach ZIRP earlier in the last decade when Alan Greenspan drastically cut rates to 1% to restart a frozen credit market. That was a defensible response to a liquidity crisis, but Greenspan kept the policy too long, fueling the housing and credit bubbles, and setting the stage for the crash of 2008. ZIRP is like a opium-based painkiller. It might get you through a crisis (if there isn’t the political will for a restructuring), but chronic use is addictive and debilitating. The mechanics of the addiction are simple: the more debt-burdened an economy becomes, the more additional debt it needs for growth, and the less growth we get for the increment. This is termed debt saturation. A dollar of new debt in 1960 produced about 90 cents of additional GDP. That ratio turned negative in the last couple of years.

At the same time, to keep the interest burden of debt from spiraling out of the control, nations are tempted to shift to shorter duration. This has the effect of leaving a country ever more vulnerable should central bankers be forced to raise interest rates. Interest payments are now just 1% of GDP and 5.7% % of US expenditures, actually fairly low (though, even at these levels, interest chews up 14% of each tax dollar collected). In fact, the interest bill for US debt is just 4.6% higher than it was in 2007 and virtually the same as in 2008 despite the fact that the debt has exploded since those years. The average rate the US pays on debt is about 3%, and is coming down as roughly half the debt gets rolled each year.

But we
ve reached a place where even a historically modest rise say 2% -- would start gobbling huge chunks of tax revenue to the point where tax revenues are flat to declining. The longer ZIRP continues, the more onerous the cost of raising interest rates. Past some unknown point, ZIRP begets more ZIRP. We may be past that point as the fed has said ZIRP will be the US policy into 2013. If the natural buyers get wary, there is always the Fed to buy the debt. What we saw earlier this year was that even as the Chinese balked at buying treasuries (down from 47% of new issuance in 2006 to 5% in 2010), the Fed stepped in through quantitative easing to buy the lions share of new debt. That program ended in July, but then, in the nick of time, the European sovereign debt crisis went critical, and prompted foreign buyers to show up (and the FED is still in there as it reinvests proceeds as securities roll off its balance sheet). Should the flight to safety abate, its highly likely QE will resume if only because this is a treadmill from which there is no escape (a recognition of which may have played into the historic S&P downgrade of US debt).

How long can this continue? In Japan it has continued for nearly 20 years, thanks to a thrifty population with $17 trillion in savings. But even that party is approaching endgame. Its massive debt has already been downgraded, now Aa3, but it still pays less than Germany, with an average interest expense of 1.12% this year. Japan
s problem is that its aging savers are becoming spenders (the savings rate dropped to 3% this year) and the population has dropped 3% in the past few years as well. So it has fewer, cash-flow negative citizens to absorb ever more debt. Long term rates and dollar swaptions have already started to edge up, and, having run huge deficits since the inauguration of ZIRP in 1993, Japan has little capacity to endure an interest rate hike. According to Kyle Bass, who analogizes a Japan short to the subprime play in 2007-08, a 100 basis point rise in debt service costs would consume an additional 25% of tax revenue. Disregard any talk that might come from Japan about raising interest rates, it simply cannot happen.

 

ZIRP turns out to be a trap that ensnares everybody, and not just the countries that adopt the policy. During a briefing an economist from Tejas made the comment that once a major economy adopts ZIRP, Central Banks all over the world lose control of their monetary policy. I was puzzled about the mechanics of that until I came across an example from Israel.
 
The
transmission mechanism is the carry trade.  Starting in 2009, despite its precarious geopolitical situation, Israel saw its currency strengthen as investors came in searching for yield. According to Michael Pomerleano writing in the Financial Times, as the shekel strengthened against the dollar, its central bank was forced to intervene to buy Shekels lower interest rates and weaken the currency, even though the bank actually wanted to raise rates to combat alarming inflation in the housing sector.

While foreign money might be enticed to borrow in ZIRP countries and invest elsewhere, domestic institutions like pension funds and insurers are driven to search for yield to meet the estimated returns embedded in their models. A pension fund using an 8% expected return is going to find itself ever deeper underwater if it is stuck in fixed income in such an interest rate regime. This is one reason hedge funds haven
t gone out of fashion even though their returns have been more dismal than not since 2008. The search for yield has also underpinned the recovery of the High Yield market since  the crash. ZIRP may have saved pensions and insurers from an immediate crash in 2008, but it has subjected them to a merciless squeeze ever since.

Individual savers find themselves caught between embracing risk and spending principal. This is not the choice retiring baby boomers expected, particularly since most were under-saved for retirement even as other safety nets develop holes.

Other unintended consequences have to do with the freeze up in interbank lending. With short term yields virtually non-existent, there is no incentive for the big banks to use funds in excess reserves to lend to smaller banks. Why take any risk in interbank lending when your reward is virtually the same as holding cash. The lack of liquidity in the interbank market in turn disrupts the forward market for FX futures (according to Stamford economist Ronald McKinnon), and this in turn makes lenders less willing to back letters of credit for exporters
something that happened in the midst of the crisis in 2008.

There have been positive benefits of ZIRP, including cheap debt for those companies lucky enough to have access to the credit markets. Most notably, has been the relationship between ZIRP
s evil twin, quantitative easing, and the buoyant stock market. Nothing makes this point as starkly as a simple chart of the S&P in 2011. The first half year was relatively smooth under the protective umbrella of quantitative easing, while the second half looks like the EKG of a heart attack (see below).

Ben Bernanke is a brilliant economist, and I
m certain that he is more aware than I am of the pitfalls of employing ZIRP for an extended period. So why did he do it? My guess is that he went to ZIRP because he felt he had no choice. In 2008 he was caught between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand, he desperately needed to funnel money and a yield curve to the banks. All well and good, but the defensible solutionthe course taken by Sweden in 1993would have been to saddle the taxpayers with these costs only after the banks shareholders and debt holders had shared the pain. As one pundit put it: a nation needs banks, but a nation doesnt need these particular banks.
 
So again, why didn
t Bernanke recognize that? A few people know, and they havent been saying. One suspicion is that our major creditors in Asia and the Mideast were also huge holders of bank shares and debt and threatened mutually assured destruction if they were forced to write down these holdings. Another, simpler explanation, is that US pension funds were also huge holders of shares and debt of the banks as well as of mortgage-backed securities, and that an omnibus write down of all these assets would cause a pension crisis the likes of which this country had never seen.

ZIRP, in concert with the various bailout programs and the stimulus, offered a way to buy time, and that
s what happened. But what happens next?

Right now, this question is still at the edges of the radar. When ZIRP is discussed at all, it is in the context of inflation fears. Indeed, inflation is one way a debt burden might be reduced, but when that day comes, soaring interest rates will force defaults and restructurings. The Goldilocks solution is to grow our way to exit. Given that both governments and households are still burdened with trillions in excess debt (as well as the issue of debt saturation), it is difficult to imagine how we could finance that growth even if an obvious and politically viable path to growth presented itself. This suggests that we will do what Japan has done and string out ZIRP until something
internal or external forces a change.

This means that the economy and the markets will remain in this surreal context of ZIRP for an indeterminate period, even as awareness grows that there will be no controlled ending for this halcyon period. It means that there will be further episodes of quantitative easing, either overt or by stealth.

This money will likely flow into equity markets as it has in the past. It also means that government institutions will likely be major players in interbank lending for the indefinite future and that consumer lending will be constrained for the indefinite future. And with major economies printing money to maintain the illusion that there is a market for their sovereign debt, it means that commodities will continue to find a bid, even as the global economy contracts (though there will be dramatic downdrafts on specific
events such as noticeable cooling in China).

It also means that the pension crisis will continue to worsen, and that the already dire situation for retirees will continue to worsen, with implications for burdens on various levels of government as well as for consumer spending.

And then, of course, ZIRP, though encompassing, is but one of the factors that will be influencing our markets in the coming months. The unresolved sovereign debt issues in the EU, a cooling China economy, and a host of US issues, also cloud the future. For the moment ZIRP hovers at the edges of the mindspace of a financial community focused on Europe and other critical issues. But, make no mistake, we
re in unknown territory as far as knowing at what constitutes ZIRPs event horizon, the point beyond which there is no escape. Has Japan crossed that point? Is the US approaching it? One hopes that we dont discover this answer in retrospect.

Getting Worse: 40 Undeniable Pieces Of Evidence That Show That America Is In Decline The Economic Collapse | Is America in decline? That is a very provocative question. The Economic Collapse December 21, 2011

Is America in decline?  That is a very provocative question.  I have found that most people that hate the United States are very eager to agree that America is in decline, while a lot of those that love the United States are very hesitant to admit that America is in decline.  Well, I am proud to be an American, but I cannot lie and tell you that America is doing just fine.  The pieces of evidence compiled below are undeniable.  Our economy is deathly ill and is rapidly getting worse.  We were handed the keys to the greatest economic machine in the history of the world and we have wrecked it.  But until we are willing to look in the mirror and admit how bad things have gotten, we wont be ready for the solutions that are necessary.  The truth is that there are things that we can do to reverse the decline.  It does not have to be permanent.  We have gotten away from the things that made America great, and we need to admit that we are on the wrong path and start fixing this country.  But if we choose to continue down the road that we are currently on, it will lead us into the darkest chapters in American history.

The following are 40 undeniable pieces of evidence that show that America is in decline.

#1 Back in 1985, 11 million vehicles were sold in America.  In 2009, only 5.4 million vehicles were sold in America.

#2 In 1990, the median age of a vehicle in the United States was just 6.5 years.  Today, the median age of a vehicle in the United States is approximately 10 years.

#3 The average price of a gallon of gasoline in 2011 has been $3.50.  That is a new all-time record.  The previous record was $3.24 in 2008.

#4 The average American household will have spent an astounding $4,155 on gasoline by the time the year is over.

#5 The number of children in the United States without a permanent home has increased by 38 percent since 2007.

#6 A decade ago, the United States was ranked number one in average wealth per adult.  By 2010, the United States had fallen to seventh.

#7 The U.S. tax code is now more than 50,000 pages longer than it used to be.

#8 American 15-year-olds do not even rank in the top half of all advanced nations when it comes to math or science literacy.

#9 The United States once had the highest proportion of young adults with post-secondary degrees in the world.  Today, the U.S. has fallen to 12th.

#10 After adjusting for inflation, U.S. college students are borrowing about twice as much money as they did a decade ago.

#11 The student loan default rate has nearly doubled since 2005.

#12 Our economy is not producing nearly enough jobs for our college graduates.  The percentage of mail carriers with a college degree is now 4 times higher than it was back in 1970.

#13 Our infrastructure was once the envy of the world.  Today, U.S. infrastructure is ranked 23rd.

#14 Since December 2007, median household income in the United States has declined by a total of 6.8% once you account for inflation.

#15 Since the year 2000, incomes for U.S. households led by someone between the ages of 25 and 34 have fallen by about 12 percent after you adjust for inflation.

#16 According to U.S. Representative Betty Sutton, America has lost an average of 15 manufacturing facilities a day over the last 10 years.  During 2010 it got even worse.  Last year, an average of 23 manufacturing facilities a day shut down in the United States.

#17 In all, more than 56,000 manufacturing facilities in the United States have shut down since 2001.

#18 The United States has lost a staggering 32 percent of its manufacturing jobs since the year 2000.

#19 Manufacturing employment in the U.S. computer industry was actually lower in 2010 than it was in 1975.

#20 In 1959, manufacturing represented 28 percent of all U.S. economic output.  In 2008, it represented only 11.5 percent.

#21 The television manufacturing industry began in the United States.  So how many televisions are manufactured in the United States today?  According to Princeton University economist Alan S. Blinder, the grand total is zero.

#22 The U.S. trade deficit with China in 2010 was 27 times larger than it was back in 1990.

#23 The Economic Policy Institute says that since 2001 America has lost approximately 2.8 million jobs due to our trade deficit with China alone.

#24 According to one study, between 1969 and 2009 the median wages earned by American men between the ages of 30 and 50 dropped by 27 percent after you account for inflation.

#25 Back in 1980, less than 30% of all jobs in the United States were low income jobs.  Today, more than 40% of all jobs in the United States are low income jobs.

#26 The size of the economy in India is projected to surpass the size of the U.S. economy by the year 2050.

#27 One prominent economist believes that the Chinese economy will be three times larger than the U.S. economy by the year 2040.

#28 In 2001, the United States ranked fourth in the world in per capita broadband Internet use.  Today it ranks 15th.

#29 Back in the year 2000, 11.3% of all Americans were living in poverty.  Today, 15.1% of all Americans are living in poverty.

#30 Last year, 2.6 million more Americans dropped into poverty.  That was the largest increase that we have seen since the U.S. government began keeping statistics on this back in 1959.

#31 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 6.7% of all Americans are living in extreme poverty, and that is the highest level that has ever been recorded before.

#32 The percentage of children living in poverty in the United States increased from 16.9 percent in 2006 to nearly 22 percent in 2010.  In the UK and in France the child poverty rate is well under 10 percent.

#33 As I wrote about the other day, since 2007 the number of children living in poverty in the state of California has increased by 30 percent.

#34 A staggering 48.5% of all Americans live in a household that receives some form of government benefits.  Back in 1983, that number was below 30 percent.

#35 Back in 1965, only one out of every 50 Americans was on Medicaid.  Today, one out of every 6 Americans is on Medicaid.

#36 Between 1991 and 2007 the number of Americans between the ages of 65 and 74 that filed for bankruptcy rose by a staggering 178 percent.

#37 Today, the too big to fail banks are larger than ever.  The total assets of the six largest U.S. banks increased by 39 percent between September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2011.

#38 Since the Federal Reserve was created in 1913, the U.S. dollar has lostover 95 percent of its purchasing power.

#39 During the Obama administration, the U.S. government has accumulated more debt than it did from the time that George Washington took office to the time that Bill Clinton took office.

#40 The U.S. national debt is now nearly 15 times larger than it was just 30 years ago.

Sadly, most Americans are not fired up about turning this country around.  Way too many of them realize that things are getting worse, but they have checked out and are just going through the motions of life.

A perfect example is posted below.  In this video, a FedEx delivery guy just chucks a computer monitor over somebodys fence……Can you believe he did that?

The sad thing is that the guy was actually home at the time and all the FedEx employee needed to do was ring the bell.

This is the kind of attitude that is killing America.

We all need to start caring again.  We all need to start taking pride in what we do.  We all need to start working hard again.  We all need to make sure that we are living with a sense of personal integrity.

When a nation simply does not care anymore, even a con man can become president.

During a recent 60 Minutes interview, Barack Obama said that only 3 presidents in U.S. history accomplished more than he did during the first two years of his presidency.

The issue here is not going be a list of accomplishments. As you said yourself, Steve, you know, I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president with the possible exceptions of Johnson, F.D.R., and Lincoln just in terms of what weve gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, weve got a lot more work to do.

He had to be joking, right?

Sadly, he was not joking.

But it is not just Barack Obama.  The truth is that both political parties are absolutely littered with con men, charlatans and corrupt politicians.

It is going to be up to the American people to get educated about how bad things have really gotten, to start demanding solutions, and to start voting much better people into positions of authority.

If dramatic changes are not made, our economy will continue to get worse and the decline of America will continue to accelerate.

We cannot stay on this road my friends.

It is only going to lead to a total nightmare.

Please share this information as widely as possible, and please try to wake up as many of your fellow Americans as you can while there is still time.

 

 

 

 

 

Ten Reasons To Fear And Loathe Markets In 2012  Forbes Robert Lenzner

#1. European Sovereign Debt  is a greater burden on the economies of Italy and France than the debt overhang in  the U.S. Italy has $2.46 trillion of debt to a $2 trillion GDP. As Vice President Biden puts it We did our bailout. Theyve got to do their bailout.  The posturing has been limited to letting nations borrow cheaply to add on more debt so as not to default.

#2. The ramification  for the US  from Europe is  a reduction of 1% growth in US GDP which means much less growth than might have been expected. This, in turn, puts added stress on valuations in our financial markets, where multiples of earnings are expected to slide as investors run away from risk-on assets.

#3. Continued pressure on the earnings and book values of both European and US banks. This can be seen in the way bank shares have traded this year, with global banks getting pounded, and only regional banks with strong balance sheets being favored.

#4. Continued  selling pressure on the prices of key commodities like oil, copper and iron ore due to expectd slowness i the global economy.

#5.  The imbecility of extending the payroll tax deduction for only two more months a horrendous sign of political weakness with dire economic ramifications.

#6. Residential housing market still mightily impaired and not expected to recover for another 3 years. Still many millions of homes where mortgage debt greater than the market value of the homes.

#7. Antipathy individual investor for long term equity investing. Rise of the short-yterm investor such as hedge funds using leverage, requiring volatility, better informed than the public investor.

#8. Expectation reduction $1.2 trillion from US budget over next 10 years. Can only mean less money in circulation, less income to invest, lower GDP, less economic growth rate. This is the reality being denied by most investors.

#9. Overall theme of  deflation, deleveraging can only mean lower asset prices.

#10.  Chance of social unrest in China, upheaval that affects move to consumer economy,  and lack of leadership from 10% of global economy.

 

 

Weve Reached the End Game For Central Bank Intervention   http://gainspainscapital.com December 19th, 2011 Weve reached the end game for Central Bank intervention.When confronted with excessive debt, you can either take the hit or you can try to inflate the debt away.In 2008, the Central Banks, lead by the US Federal Reserve, decided not to take the hit. Theyve since spent trillions of Dollars propping up the financial system. By doing this, theyve essentially attempted to fight a debt problem by issuing more debt.The end result is similar to what happens when you try to cure a heroine addict by giving him more heroine: each new hit has less and less effect.Case in point, consider the Central Banks coordinated intervention to lower the cost of borrowing Dollars three weeks ago. Remember, this was a coordinated effort, not the Federal Reserve or European Central Bank acting alone. And yet, here we are, less than one month later, and European banks have wiped out MOST if not ALL of the gains the intervention produced…’

PORTER STANSBERRY OF STANSBERRY RESEARCH

THE CORRUPTION OF AMERICA

The numbers tell us America is in decline... if not outright collapse.

I say "the numbers tell us" because I've become very sensitive to the impact this kind of statement has on people. When I warned about the impending bankruptcy of General Motors in 2006 and 2007, readers actually blamed me for the company's problems as if my warnings to the public were the real problem, rather than GM's $400 billion in debt.

The claim was absurd. But the resentment my work engendered was real.

So please... before you read this issue, which makes several arresting claims about the future of our country... understand I am only writing about the facts as I find them today. I am only drawing conclusions based on the situation as it stands. I am not saying that these conditions can't improve. Or that they won't improve.

The truth is, I am optimistic. I believe our country is heading into a crisis. But I also believe that... sooner or later... Americans will make the right choices and put our country back on sound footing.

Please pay careful attention to the data I cite. And please send me corrections to the facts. I will happily publish any correction that can be substantiated. But please don't send me threats, accusations against my character, or baseless claims about my lack of patriotism. If I didn't love our country, none of these facts would bother me. I wouldn't have bothered writing this letter.

I know this is a politically charged and emotional issue. My conclusions will not be easy for most readers to accept. Likewise, many of the things I am writing about this month will challenge my subscribers to re-examine what they believe about their country. The facts about America today tell a painful story about a country in a steep decline, beset by problems of its own making.

One last point, before we begin... I realize that this kind of macro-economic/political analysis is not, primarily, what you pay me for.

You rightly expect me to provide you with investment opportunities whether bull market, bear market, or total societal collapse. And that's what I've done every month for more than 15 years.

But that's not what I've done this month. You won't find any investment ideas at all in these pages. This issue is unlike any other I have ever written.

I'm sure it will spark a wave of cancellations costing me hundreds of thousands of dollars. I fear it will spark a tremendous amount of controversy. Many people will surely accuse me of deliberately writing inflammatory things in order to stir the pot and gain attention. That's not my intention. The truth is, I've gone to great lengths throughout my career to protect my privacy.

I am speaking out now because I believe someone must. And I have the resources to do it. I am sharing these ideas with my subscribers because I know we have arrived at the moment of a long-brewing crisis.

Our political leaders, our business leaders, and our cultural leaders have made a series of catastrophic choices. The result has been a long decline in America's standard of living.

For decades, we have papered over these problems with massive amounts of borrowing. But now, our debts total close to 400% of GDP, and America is the world's largest borrower (after being the world's largest creditor only 40 years ago)... And the holes in our society can no longer be hidden...

We've reached the point where we will have to fix what lies at the heart of America's decline... or be satisfied with a vastly lower standard of living in the future.

How do I know? How do I statistically define the decline of America?

The broadest measure of national wealth is per-capita gross domestic product (GDP). Economists use this figure to judge standards of living around the world. It shows the value of the country's annual production divided by the number of its citizens. No, the production isn't actually divided among all the citizens, but this measure provides us with a fair benchmark to compare different economies around the world. Likewise, this measure shows the growth (or the decline) in wealth in societies across time.

So... is America growing richer or poorer based on per-capita GDP? Seems like a simple enough question, doesn't it? Is our economy growing faster than our population? Are we, as individuals, becoming more affluent? Or is the pie, measured on a per-person basis, growing smaller?
This is the most fundamental measure of the success or the failure of any political system or culture. Are the legal and social rules we live under aiding our economic development or holding us back? What do the numbers say?

Unfortunately, it's a harder question to answer than it should be. The problem is, we don't have a sound currency with which to measure GDP through time. Until 1971, the U.S. dollar was defined as a certain amount of gold. And the price of gold was fixed by international agreement. It didn't actually begin to trade freely until 1975. Therefore, the value of the U.S. dollar (and thus the value of U.S. production, which is measured in dollars) was manipulated higher for many years.

Even today, our government's nominal GDP figures are greatly influenced by inflation. The influence of inflation is particularly pernicious in GDP studies. You see, inflation, which actually reduces our standard of living, drives up the amount of nominal GDP. So it creates the appearance of a wealthier country... while the nation is actually getting poorer.

The only real way to accurately measure per-capita GDP is to build our own model. The need to build our own tools tells you something important the government doesn't want anyone to know the answer to this question. It could easily publish data far more accurate than the indexes it puts out. But government doesn't want anyone to know. And it wants to be able to say "those aren't the real data" when studies like ours produce bad news.

So pay attention to how we built our charts. You can see for yourself that our data are far more accurate than the government's figures. Our data are based on the real purchasing power of the currency, not the nominal numbers, which are completely meaningless in the real world.

The question we are trying to answer is: What would per-capita GDP numbers look like, if we used a real-world currency, like gold, or a basket of commodity prices, instead of the paper-based U.S. dollar? What would the figures be if we measured GDP in sound money instead of the government's funny money?

Here's how we figured it out. We took the government numbers for nominal GDP and measured them first against commodity prices, and later (after it began to trade freely) gold. We used a standard commodity index (the CRB) up to 1975 and gold post-1975. The result of this analysis shows you the real trend in U.S. per-capita GDP, as measured on a real-world purchasing power basis.

Our analysis shows you what's actually happened to our real standard of living. The results, we suspect, will surprise even the most bearish among you.

America is in a steep decline.

Americans Are Getting Poorer Fast

Let me anticipate the "official" criticism of our study. Many people will claim that our numbers aren't "real." They will say that we "mined" the data to produce a chart that showed a steep decline.

That's simply not so. All we've done is convert the government's nominal GDP stats into a fixed currency value that's based on real-world purchasing power. The fact is, our data are far more accurate than the government's because they represent the real-world experience.

That's why our data are far more closely correlated to other real-world studies of wealth in America.

Consider, for example, annual sales of automobiles. Auto sales peaked in 1985 (11 million) and have been declining at a fairly steady rate since 1999. In 2009, Americans bought just 5.4 million passenger cars. As a result, the median age of a registered vehicle in the U.S. is almost 10 years.

Our data shows that real per-capita wealth peaked in the late 1960s. Guess when we find the absolutely lowest median age of the U.S. fleet? In 1969. At the end of the 1960s, the median age of all the cars on the road in the U.S. was only 5.1 years. Even as recently as 1990, the median age was only 6.5 years.

Rich people buy new cars. Poor people do not.

Most important, our data "proves" something I know many of you have felt or perceived for many years. You've seen the decline of your neighborhoods. You've gone years without being able to earn more money in your job. Or you've seen your purchasing power decrease to the point where you're now substituting lower-quality products on your grocery list for the brand-name products you used to buy.

You can see how much harder it is on your children to find good jobs, to buy good housing or a new car. As a result, few people under the age of 40 have the same kind of "life story" as their parents.

And because they can't "make it," many have decided to "fake it." The average college student now graduates with $24,000 in debt... and by his late 20s has racked up more than $6,000 in credit card debt. Meanwhile, median earnings for Americans aged 25-34 equals $34,000-$38,000. (Source: Demos.org, "The Economic State of Young America," November 2011.)

Can you imagine starting your life out as an adult with a personal debt-to-income level at close to 100%? What does this say about the state of our economy? What does this say about the state of our culture?

Who Suffers Most

It's not only the young that are having trouble in America. It is also the old.

Debt levels among households headed by people older than 62 have been rising for two decades. The average mortgage size for this population is now $71,000 five times larger than it was in 1987 (adjusted for inflation), according to William Apgar of Harvard's Joint
Center for Housing Studies.

Older Americans are also more reliant on credit card debt than ever before... credit card debt. From 1992 through 2007 (which is the latest data available) older Americans took on credit card debt at a faster pace than the population as a whole. According to USA Today, lower- and middle-income Americans aged 65 and older now carry an average of more than $10,000 in credit card debt, up 26% since only 2005.
Given average interest rates of 20% for these debts, it's a fair bet that these obligations will never be repaid. But they will have a terrible impact on the standard of living of these older Americans.

What in the heck is going on? Don't Americans pay off their mortgages before they retire? Don't they work hard during their careers, save, and invest, so they can move to Florida and spend their retirement in comfort?

Older Americans living with credit card debt! This doesn't sound like America, does it? Or maybe it does.

My bet is that most of my subscribers know that something has gone terribly wrong with America. It's not easy to figure out how all of this happened... but you know from your own experiences that these numbers aren't wrong. It might not be pleasant to think about... but these figures paint a sad but accurate picture: America is not the country it was 40 years ago. These changes are warping our economy, politics, and culture.

In this month's issue, I'd like to try to define a few of the core reasons we're in this situation. I can't possibly analyze all the factors that have led to this decline. But I want to document the growth of graft in politics. I want to demonstrate with real facts and examples how public company leadership has deteriorated. And I want to document some of the things that are occurring in the broader society, all of which I believe are linked to this fundamental decline in our standard of living.

You see, I believe the decline of our country is primarily a decline of our culture.

We have lost our sense of honor, humility, and the dedication to personal responsibility that, for more than 200 years, made our country the greatest hope for mankind. I want to detail some of the factors that gave rise to the current entitlement society. We have become a country of people who believe their well-being is someone else's responsibility.

I've labeled these problems: The Corruption of America.

These problems manifest themselves in different ways across institutions in all parts of our society. But at their root, they are simply facets of the same stone. They are all part of the same essential problem.

The corruption of America isn't happening in one part of our country... or in one type of institution. It is happening across the landscape of our society, in almost every institution. It's a kind of moral decay... a kind of greed... a kind of desperate grasp for power... And it's destroying our nation.

The Ethos of 'Getting Yours'

Americans know, in their bones, that something terrible is happening. Maybe you can't articulate it. Maybe you don't have the statistics to understand exactly what's going on. But my bet is, you think about it a lot.

For me, a poignant moment of recognition came this month.

Bloomberg news published an article based on confidential sources about how Henry Paulson, the former CEO of Goldman Sachs and the Republican U.S. Treasury secretary during the financial crisis, held a secret meeting with the top 20 hedge-fund managers in New York City in late July 2008. This was about two weeks after he testified to Congress that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were "well-capitalized."
I knew for a fact that what Paulson told Congress wasn't true. I wrote my entire June 2008 newsletter detailing exactly why Fannie and Freddie certainly had billions in losses that they had not yet revealed to investors
$500 billion in losses, at least. There was no question in my mind, both companies were insolvent "zeros," as I explained.

And yet, in front of Congress, the U.S. Treasury secretary was saying exactly the opposite. Either I was a liar... or he was.
Then... only a few days later... what did Paulson tell those hedge-fund managers?

He told them the same thing I had written in my newsletter. He told them the opposite of what he'd said publicly to Congress. He told these billionaire investors that Fannie and Freddie were a disaster... They would require an enormous, multibillion-dollar bailout... The U.S. government would have to take them over... And their shareholders would be completely wiped out.

Here you had a high-government official, explicitly lying to Congress (and by extension, the general public), while giving the real facts to a group of people who represented the financial interests of the world's wealthiest folks. The story didn't come to the public's attention for two years.

This was the most outrageous example of graft and corruption I have ever seen. Certainly it involves more billions of dollars in misappropriated value than any other similar story I can recall. These managers had the risk-free ability to make tens of billions of dollars, if not hundreds of billions, by using derivatives to capitalize on what they knew was the imminent collapse of the world's largest mortgage bank. Who picked up the tab? You know perfectly well. It was you and me, the taxpayers.

(One of the investment managers present at this meeting was Steve Rattner, who by that point was already deeply involved in another bit of graft, his efforts to bribe New York state pension-fund managers for large investments into his hedge fund, from which he earned perhaps as much as $100 million. He later settled the charges for a mere $10 million shortly after Andrew Cuomo was elected governor of New York.)
The Bloomberg story... about a crooked Treasury secretary handing a room full of crooked billionaires inside information worth billions of dollars... hardly caused a ripple. As far as I know, no actions are being planned against Henry Paulson or any of the hedge-fund managers involved. No other major media outlet picked up the story. I saw nothing about it from the Department of Justice or the Securities and Exchange Commission.

What does that say about our country when even the most egregious kind of corruption involving hundreds of billions of dollars is simply ignored?

It seems like everyone in our country has lost his moral bearing, from the highest government officials and senior corporate leaders all the way down to schoolteachers and local community leaders. The ethos of my fellow Americans seems to have changed from one of personal integrity and responsibility to "getting yours" the all-out attempt, by any means possible, to get the most amount of benefits with the least amount of work.

You can see this in everything from the lowering of school standards (revising the SAT) to the widespread use of performance-enhancing drugs in professional, college, and high school sports. Cheating has become a way of life in America.

I have an idea about how this happened... about the root cause of this kind of corruption and why it was inevitable, given some of the basic facts regarding how we've organized our government and our corporations.

Let me show you the numbers the hard facts behind what's happened to our country...

 

 

 

50 Economic Numbers From 2011 That Are Almost Too Crazy To Believe  The Economic Collapse | If we do not educate the American people about how deathly ill the U.S. economy has become, then they will just keep falling for the same old lies. December 16, 2011 ‘Even though most Americans have become very frustrated with this economy, the reality is that the vast majority of them still have no idea just how bad our economic decline has been or how much trouble we are going to be in if we don’t make dramatic changes immediately.  If we do not educate the American people about how deathly ill the U.S. economy has become, then they will just keep falling for the same old lies that our politicians keep telling them.  Just “tweaking” things here and there is not going to fix this economy.  We truly do need a fundamental change in direction.  America is consuming far more wealth than it is producing and our debt is absolutely exploding.  If we stay on this current path, an economic collapse is inevitable.  Hopefully the crazy economic numbers from 2011 that I have included in this article will be shocking enough to wake some people up.

At this time of the year, a lot of families get together, and in most homes the conversation usually gets around to politics at some point.  Hopefully many of you will use the list below as a tool to help you share the reality of the U.S. economic crisis with your family and friends.  If we all work together, hopefully we can get millions of people to wake up and realize that business as usual will result in a national economic apocalypse.

The following are 50 economic numbers from 2011 that are almost too crazy to believe.

#1 A staggering 48 percent of all Americans are either considered to be low income or are living in poverty.

#2 Approximately 57 percent of all children in the United States are living in homes that are either considered to be low income or impoverished.

#3 If the number of Americans that wanted jobs was the same today as it was back in 2007, the official unemployment rate put out by the U.S. government would be up to 11 percent.

#4 The average amount of time that a worker stays unemployed in the United States is now over 40 weeks.

#5 One recent survey found that 77 percent of all U.S. small businesses do not plan to hire any more workers.

#6 There are fewer payroll jobs in the United States today than there were back in 2000 even though we have added 30 million extra people to the population since then.

#7 Since December 2007, median household income in the United States has declined by a total of 6.8% once you account for inflation.

#8 According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 16.6 million Americans were self-employed back in December 2006.  Today, that number has shrunk to 14.5 million.

#9 A Gallup poll from earlier this year found that approximately one out of every five Americans that do have a job consider themselves to be underemployed.

#10 According to author Paul Osterman, about 20 percent of all U.S. adults are currently working jobs that pay poverty-level wages.

#11 Back in 1980, less than 30% of all jobs in the United States were low income jobs.  Today, more than 40% of all jobs in the United States are low income jobs.

#12 Back in 1969, 95 percent of all men between the ages of 25 and 54 had a job.  In July, only 81.2 percent of men in that age group had a job.

#13 One recent survey found that one out of every three Americans would not be able to make a mortgage or rent payment next month if they suddenly lost their current job.

#14 The Federal Reserve recently announced that the total net worth of U.S. households declined by 4.1 percent in the 3rd quarter of 2011 alone.

#15 According to a recent study conducted by the BlackRock Investment Institute, the ratio of household debt to personal income in the United States is now 154 percent.

#16 As the economy has slowed down, so has the number of marriages.  According to a Pew Research Center analysis, only 51 percent of all Americans that are at least 18 years old are currently married.  Back in 1960, 72 percentof all U.S. adults were married.

#17 The U.S. Postal Service has lost more than 5 billion dollars over the past year.

#18 In Stockton, California home prices have declined 64 percent from where they were at when the housing market peaked.

#19 Nevada has had the highest foreclosure rate in the nation for 59 monthsin a row.

#20 If you can believe it, the median price of a home in Detroit is now just $6000.

#21 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 18 percent of all homes in the state of Florida are sitting vacant.  That figure is 63 percent larger than it was just ten years ago.

#22 New home construction in the United States is on pace to set a brand new all-time record low in 2011.

#23 As I have written about previously, 19 percent of all American men between the ages of 25 and 34 are now living with their parents.

#24 Electricity bills in the United States have risen faster than the overall rate of inflation for five years in a row.

#25 According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, health care costs accounted for just 9.5% of all personal consumption back in 1980.  Today they account for approximately 16.3%.

#26 One study found that approximately 41 percent of all working age Americans either have medical bill problems or are currently paying off medical debt.

#27 If you can believe it, one out of every seven Americans has at least 10 credit cards.

#28 The United States spends about 4 dollars on goods and services from China for every one dollar that China spends on goods and services from the United States.

#29 It is being projected that the U.S. trade deficit for 2011 will be 558.2 billion dollars.

#30 The retirement crisis in the United States just continues to get worse.  According to the Employee Benefit Research Institute, 46 percent of all American workers have less than $10,000 saved for retirement, and 29 percent of all American workers have less than $1,000 saved for retirement.

#31 Today, one out of every six elderly Americans lives below the federal poverty line.

#32 According to a study that was just released, CEO pay at Americas biggest companies rose by 36.5% in just one recent 12 month period.

#33 Today, the too big to fail banks are larger than ever.  The total assets of the six largest U.S. banks increased by 39 percent between September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2011.

#34 The six heirs of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton have a net worth that is roughly equal to the bottom 30 percent of all Americans combined.

#35 According to an analysis of Census Bureau data done by the Pew Research Center, the median net worth for households led by someone 65 years of age or older is 47 times greater than the median net worth for households led by someone under the age of 35.

#36 If you can believe it, 37 percent of all U.S. households that are led by someone under the age of 35 have a net worth of zero or less than zero.

#37 A higher percentage of Americans is living in extreme poverty (6.7%) than has ever been measured before.

#38 Child homelessness in the United States is now 33 percent higher than it was back in 2007.

#39 Since 2007, the number of children living in poverty in the state of California has increased by 30 percent.

#40 Sadly, child poverty is absolutely exploding all over America.  According to the National Center for Children in Poverty, 36.4% of all children that live in Philadelphia are living in poverty, 40.1% of all children that live in Atlanta are living in poverty, 52.6% of all children that live in Cleveland are living in poverty and 53.6% of all children that live in Detroit are living in poverty.

#41 Today, one out of every seven Americans is on food stamps and one out of every four American children is on food stamps.

#42 In 1980, government transfer payments accounted for just 11.7% of all income.  Today, government transfer payments account for more than 18 percent of all income.

#43 A staggering 48.5% of all Americans live in a household that receives some form of government benefits.  Back in 1983, that number was below 30 percent.

#44 Right now, spending by the federal government accounts for about 24 percent of GDP.  Back in 2001, it accounted for just 18 percent.

#45 For fiscal year 2011, the U.S. federal government had a budget deficit ofnearly 1.3 trillion dollars.  That was the third year in a row that our budget deficit has topped one trillion dollars.

#46 If Bill Gates gave every single penny of his fortune to the U.S. government, it would only cover the U.S. budget deficit for about 15 days.

#47 Amazingly, the U.S. government has now accumulated a total debt of 15 trillion dollars.  When Barack Obama first took office the national debt was just 10.6 trillion dollars.

#48 If the federal government began right at this moment to repay the U.S. national debt at a rate of one dollar per second, it would take over 440,000 years to pay off the national debt.

#49 The U.S. national debt has been increasing by an average of more than 4 billion dollars per day since the beginning of the Obama administration.

#50 During the Obama administration, the U.S. government has accumulated more debt than it did from the time that George Washington took office to the time that Bill Clinton took office.

Of course the heart of our economic problems is the Federal Reserve.  The Federal Reserve is a perpetual debt machine, it has almost completely destroyed the value of the U.S. dollar and it has an absolutely nightmarish track record of incompetence.  If the Federal Reserve system had never been created, the U.S. economy would be in far better shape.  The federal government needs to shut down the Federal Reserve and start issuing currency that is not debt-based.  That would be a very significant step toward restoring prosperity to America.

During 2011 we made a lot of progress in educating the American people about our economic problems, but we still have a long way to go.

Hopefully next year more Americans than ever will wake up, because 2012 is going to represent a huge turning point for this country.

The Tim Tebow Comeback Story Continues But There Will Be No Miracle Comebacks For The U.S. Economy | Never in the history of the NFL has there ever been anything like this. The Economic Collapse December 12, 2011 Never in the history of the NFL has there ever been anything like this.  Today, Tim Tebow engineered yet another miraculous 4th quarter comeback.  Almost everyone has been expecting this unprecedented string of comebacks to come to an end, yet Tebow just keeps pulling off miracle after miracle.  It seems like nearly every week now we are talking about another unbelievable Tim Tebow comeback.  It is truly a great story, and what is wonderful about Tebow is that he is not out to glorify himself.  He is very humble, he always recognizes his teammates and he is a terrific role model for a generation of American youth that is in desperate need of one.  Unfortunately, there is not going to be a similar comeback story for the U.S. economy.  It is late in the 4th quarter, we have accumulated over 50 trillion dollars of total debt as a nation, and our economic guts are being ripped out at a rate that is almost impossible to believe.  The game is essentially over and we are headed for an incredible amount of economic pain as a nation.

We desperately need a political Tim Tebow to come along to dismantle our current debt-based economic system.  But instead, the corrupt politicians in Washington D.C. just keep patching up our current system and hope that somehow it will recover.

Unfortunately, this is about as good as things are going to get for the U.S. economy.  The federal government and the Federal Reserve are already pushing things to the red line, and all of that effort has not accomplished much.

We have been experiencing economic stagnation for much of the past year, and there is not much more that they can do to improve things under our current system.

Right now, the Federal Reserve has pushed interest rates as low as they can go.  They cant go any lower.

Right now, the federal government is borrowing and spending unprecedented amounts of money.  Federal spending cannot go much higher.

Right now, we have already seen tax cut after tax cut and virtually none of them have been paid for.  Any additional tax cuts will just send our budget deficits even higher.

Right now, we have already seen unprecedented intervention by the Federal Reserve.  They have done just about everything short of dropping huge bags of money over the countryside from helicopters.

The federal government and the Federal Reserve have done just about everything that they can possibly do to stimulate the economy, and yet things just keep getting worse.

So what is going to happen when the federal government and the Federal Reserve quit stimulating the economy?

As I wrote about the other day, when evaluating the future of the U.S. economy, it is vitally important to look at the balance sheet numbers and the long-term trends.

When you do that, you suddenly do not feel so good about the upward blips that we have seen in the economy lately.

Yes, the official unemployment rate recently went down slightly.  But as Mac Slavo recently pointed out, even with the recent improvement the truth is that the real level of unemployment in the United States is still well over 20 percent.

And all of the long-term trends indicate that we heading for a massive amount of trouble.

The number of good jobs continues to decline.  Even though our population is rapidly increasing, there are 10 percent fewer middle income jobs in the U.S. today than there were a decade ago.

In recent years, the employment to population ratio has been steadily declining.  At the start of the recession it was at 62.7%.  Today, it is at 58.5%.

Household incomes continue to go down as well.  Since December 2007, median household income in the United States has declined by a total of 6.8%once you account for inflation.

So why is this happening?  Well, as I wrote about recently, the United States has the worst balance of trade in the entire world by far.

Wealth, jobs and economic infrastructure are pouring out of this country and very few politicians are trying to stop it.

An average of 23 manufacturing facilities were shut down every single day in the United States last year.

That represents a huge amount of lost jobs.

So do you hear any political candidates talking about how they are going to stop this from happening or about how they are going to get all of those lost jobs back?

Overall, the U.S. has lost a total of more than 56,000 manufacturing facilities since 2001.

So how can an economy be great when it is constantly bleeding huge amounts of economic infrastructure?

We have become way too dependent on other nations for the things that we need.

How much trouble would we be in if Saudi Arabia suddenly decided to quit shipping us oil or if China suddenly decided to quit shipping us cheap plastic products to sell in our stores?

Right now, businesses are absolutely racing to get out of the United States.  Big corporations are shipping as many jobs as they possibly can out of the country.  Our insane economic policies have turned American workers into tremendous liabilities.

One economist from Princeton University is warning that 40 million more U.S. jobs could be sent offshore over the next two decades if nothing is done to stop this.

So why arent more politicians screaming and yelling about this?

Without good jobs, Americans are falling out of the middle class in staggering numbers.

Since 2007, the number of children living in poverty in the state of California has increased by 30 percent.

So is that a sign that things are getting better or that things are getting worse?

A higher percentage of Americans is living in extreme poverty than has ever been measured before.  Not only that, 2.6 million more Americans fell into poverty last year.  That was also a new all-time record.

So are those signs that things are getting better or that things are getting worse?

The American people generally do not understand why these things are happening, but they are clearly getting frustrated.

A recent Gallup poll found that an all-time record 76 percent of all Americans believe that most members of Congress do not deserve to be reelected.

But when election time rolls around, they will probably send most of them back to Washington D.C. anyway.

Our politicians keep kicking the can down the road, but time for doing that is running out.  The unprecedented stimulus efforts by the federal government will be coming to an end sooner or later.

In a recent article, author Bruce Krasting listed a whole bunch of reasons why the economic can is not going to be able to be kicked down the road much farther.  The following are some of the things that he says are scheduled to end by the beginning of 2013.

The Bush tax cuts on those making more than $200k will expire.

The Bush tax cuts on those making less than $200k will also expire.

The Patch on AMT will expire.

The 2% payroll tax holiday will expire for all workers on 12/31/12 (Im sure the current holiday will be rolled for another year)

The 99-week extended unemployment benefits die on 12/31. (The emergency benefits will also be extended for 2012)

There will have to be a budget that is approved. Alternatively, a series of continuing resolutions is required to avert a government shutdown. We have not had an approved budget in over 900 days.

2013 is the first year that there will be mandatory caps on discretionary spending. These limits will result in a YoY decline in government spending.

The Federal Reserve has promised to keep interest rates at zero into 2013. While it is possible that the Fed could continue the madness for even longer, the reality is that interest rates have nowhere to go but up.

By January 2013 it will be painfully evident that the countrys key social programs, Social Security and Medicare will be running in the red at a pace that is far higher than anyone considered possible. The need for dramatic changes in these programs will have to come onto the table. The implications of this will be significant.

In 2013 the issues of Fannie, Freddie, FHA and the Federal Home Loan Banks must be addressed. The problems at the housing agencies has festered too long.

The country will face another debt ceiling extension. The last time cost us our AAA.

Sadly, we will probably not have to wait until 2013 to feel a whole lot of economic pain.

The reality is that a 15 trillion dollar debt and trillion dollar yearly budget deficits are not sustainable.  We have created a situation where a horrible crash is inevitable, and there is no way that our current debt-based system can be fixed to keep a nightmarish collapse from happening.

During the Obama administration, the U.S. government has accumulated more debt than it did from the time that George Washington took office to the time that Bill Clinton took office.  That is a recipe for national financial suicide.

Meanwhile, despite what you may have heard, the European debt crisis has not been fixed.

Not at all.

The truth is that none of the fundamental problems were fixed by this recent agreement as Ambrose Evans-Pritchard recently noted in one of his columns.

There is no shared debt issuance, no fiscal transfers, no move to an EU Treasury, no banking licence for the ESM rescue fund, and no change in the mandate of the European Central Bank.

In short, there is no breakthrough of any kind that will convince Asian investors that this monetary union has viable governance or even a future.

Germany has kept the focus exclusively on fiscal deficits even though everybody must understand by now that this crisis was not caused by fiscal deficits (except in the case of Greece). Spain and Ireland were in surplus, and Italy had a primary surplus.

For many more reasons why Europe is headed for big trouble, please read this article: 22 Reasons Why We Could See An Economic Collapse In Europe In 2012.

When Europe goes down, it is going to have a devastating impact on the United States.

Meanwhile, the economies of China and Japan are also steamrolling toward recession.

There is simply way too much debt in the world, and a great day of reckoning is coming.

Combined, the industrialized nations of the world borrowed more than 10 trillion dollars this year, and that number is expected to soar even higher next year.

Jim Cramer of CNBC stated recently that the global economy is at DEFCON 3, two stages from a financial collapse so huge its hard to get your mind around.

Most Americans dont understand this yet.  But hopefully we can get more of them educated while there is still time.

The global financial system is a big shell game.  It is a gigantic mountain of debt, leverage and risk.

You would have thought that we would have learned some key lessons from the financial crisis of 2008, but we didnt.

Back in 2002, the top 10 U.S. banks controlled 55 percent of all U.S. banking assets.  Right now, the top 10 U.S. banks control 77 percent of all U.S. banking assets.

Today, the too big to fail banks are larger than ever.  The total assets of the six largest U.S. banks increased by 39 percent between September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2011.

So instead of doing something about the too big to fail banks, they are now more too big to fail than ever.

As big banks and big corporations have come to dominate our economy more than ever before, wealth and power have also become much more concentrated.

*The wealthiest 1 percent of all Americans now own more than a third of all the wealth in the United States.

*The poorest 50 percent of all Americans collectively own just 2.5% of all the wealth in the United States.

*The six heirs of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton have a net worth that is roughly equal to the bottom 30 percent of all Americans combined.

*Overall, the wealthiest one percent of all Americans have a greater net worththan the bottom 90 percent combined.

It would be wonderful if we could send a Tim Tebow of politics to Washington D.C., but instead the Democrats and the Republicans look like they just plan to give us more of the same.

Are the Republicans really going to nominate someone who co-sponsored 418 bills with Nancy Pelosi?  The truth is that the latest anti-Romney candidate isalmost a clone of Mitt Romney.

Newt Gingrich is essentially an older, ruder version of Barack Obama.  If you are counting on him to save America then you are going to be incredibly disappointed.

Sadly, we just do not have nearly enough men like Tim Tebow in America today.  The following comes from a recent profile of Tebow that recently appeared in the Wall Street Journal.

While at Florida, Mr. Tebow became well known for spending his summers helping the poor and needy in the Philippines. He also spoke in prisons and appeared to accept every opportunity to volunteer. He encouraged his teammates and classmates to follow his lead.

You can see video of Tim Tebow speaking to a group of prisoners at the Lake City Correctional Facility while he was still attending the University of Floridaright here.

Unfortunately, there is no Tim Tebow comeback on the horizon for the U.S. economy at this point.

But when the U.S. economy does get worse, we can take a cue from Tim Tebow and be very generous with those in need.  There are going to be a lot of people that will be really hurting, and those of us that have been blessed should do what we can to help them out.

A lot of people say that my site is all about doom and gloom, but telling the truth to the American people is never a bad thing.

We do not do ourselves any favors by sticking our heads in the sand and pretending that everything is going to be okay.

There is going to be no miracle comeback for the U.S. economy.

A horrific economic collapse is coming.

You better get ready.

 

 

 

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN: GLOBAL ECONOMY ON THE BRINK http://www.safehaven.com/article/23606/the-road-not-taken  12/10/2011 By David Knox Barker: The international political economy and global financial markets are deep in the woods. A long wave winter season is blowing cold, and getting colder. Decades of excess leverage in the banking system and sovereign states is coming to an end. Government and consumer spending are hitting a wall. A critical fork on this wintry road is coming up fast.

A transformational long wave crisis that spans the globe is under way. Tough decisions must be made to pull us out of the long wave winter crisis and into a new spring day on the other side. There are two different roads beckoning us out of this long wave wintry mess. Make no mistake; the choice leads to distinctly different destinations.

http://static.safehaven.com/authors/barker/23606_a.jpg

Oscar Wilde, in his essay The Decay of Lying, famously penned the words, "Life imitates art far more than art imitates life." Along this line of thinking, Robert Frost's famous poem, with only one word edited (wintry), is in order. It offers new meaning as the world grapples with the global financial, economic and political crisis. It speaks to the far-reaching implications of the important decisions required now for the uncertain road that lies ahead.

The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a (wintry) wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Investors and traders should recognize that global markets will discount the unknown future on the road ahead far more than most are expecting as this long wave winter bottoms in the years directly ahead, whatever road we take. Markets do not like the unknown and buyers of the future will require a hefty discount to the cash flows it offers, especially when perceived risks are rising fast and show no sign of abating.

After this final phase of the long wave winter that puts the future on sale, we can get on with building a global economy that is better than what we are leaving behind. The real question is what road we will take. One road leads to the serfdom and dependence on government promises, the other to individual freedom and unlimited potential. The road chosen will make a big difference in the world we live in during the coming long wave spring season and global boom that lies ahead.

The low road offers more of the same Keynesian hopes that created this crisis. It shows more wear. It offers greater intervention from government in hopes that the state, even in light of recent evidence to the contrary, has the answers. The low road grants greater powers to government and vastly higher levels of debt, fighting debt with debt. Along this road greater national and individual sovereignty and liberty is a required sacrifice offered to the deity of the state and its various temples of centralized control.

The high road offers the hope that the grand experiment of big government is actually ending world over. The dissemination of information on the Internet suggests the old media is losing its grip on public consciousness and its role of kingmaker. Centralized political power is doomed. Rather than centralizing power, there are signs the information age and technology is in the process of a quantum leap, transforming political power in the process and returning it to its rightful owner, the individual and their important role in society and community. The latent potential that can be unleashed on the high road is astounding, and it is the same world over.

Advocates of the high road recognize that radical pro-growth and pro-job corporate tax policies are urgently required. A low flat corporate tax rate of 15% or less in the U.S. will force the world to follow and trigger a global growth boom and new long wave spring. The fair-tax makes even more sense, but that is likely asking too much of politicians that appear to have trouble understanding that they were not elected to only enrich themselves. Have courage, this ilk is on the way out. Most politicians believe tax reform is granting tax breaks in the tax code for kickbacks in one form of another.

If government spending cuts are combined with pro-growth corporate tax policies, the next wave of Internet driven innovation will trigger a global boom in a new long wave spring season beyond 2012. Political leaders can pursue policies that accelerate these trends, or they can try to hold on to their rapidly failing grip on power.

Few are aware that the object-oriented paradigm and the object-oriented code it spawned has played an essential role in the Internet revolution. The objectivation of the planet is turning the Internet into an empowering force for individual freedom and liberty. The Internet is decentralizing access to information and is radically changing the world, including putting political power into a state of flux.

The low road is simply more of the same that got us here and delivered the global system to the edge of the abyss. There are those that are loudly advocating this well-worn Keynesian road funded by government debt, i.e., the same map that got us here. Many advocating the low road are hoping for yearend bonus checks for all the bad debt they would like governments to back stop and transfer onto the backs of taxpayers. This low road is where society's resources are distributed both up to an elite class that socialize their losses and down to an entitlement class. The motto of the low road is clear, in the words of Ayn Rand, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need."

The high road is seldom traveled these days. It is a road of individual responsibility and accountability for one's own decisions and actions, where thrift and prudence gain their just reward and are not punished by the greed of others that are too big to fail. This high road is where budgets are balanced and governments do not spend money they do not have and therefore must borrow, or steal from its rightful owners.

The two roads out of the global financial crisis are coming up as the world descends in the current business cycle. The call for the European Central Bank (ECB) to join with the U.S. Federal Reserve and promise unlimited quantitative easing (QE) has reached a fevered pitch. The ECB has been buying sovereign bonds on the margin, but the idea of the ECB ratcheting up the buying of any bonds issued by the profligate politicians is a low road choice by any standard. It is repulsive to those accustomed to living within their means and not interested in financing those that who do not.

The current global system is now struggling under its glaring contradictions. The long wave cycle points down and to a resetting of the global economic and financial order. The world has come to an important fork in the road in the current business cycle, the final business cycle of the long wave winter

The entitlement class is demanding the politicians serve up the wealthiest producers on a 1% prime mover platter, so they can, in their own words, "eat the rich". It will of course be their last meal, but this crowd does not think that far ahead. They have not considered that the next meal will be the wild-eyed comrade across the table, or it will be them and their family.

In short, the low road thinking suggests that it is possible to solve history's greatest debt crisis with more debt and deficit spending, keeping the entitlement class satisfied and growing. This may work marginally in this long wave cycle crisis and a somber spring will begin belatedly, but this low road will weaken international capitalism and likely trigger the collapse of capitalism in the next long wave winter season, delivering the global economy onto the cusp of a new dark age.

On the high road, governments will actually be required to stop spending money they do not have and balance their budgets. Investors that unfortunately make bad investments will have to take losses and not socialize them and pass them on to taxpayers. This appears to be a rather novel concept for many. The media and politicians jeer at it as old-fashioned nonsense. Those with the mistaken belief that the profits of capitalism will be able to pay the tab for the great entitlement banquet, are rejecting as "austerity" what is only common sense and the way our grandparents lived.

Advocates for the low road gained the upper hand in the 2008-2009 phase of the financial crisis. Many are now rightfully questioning this direction. Although we are now moving toward the low road, there remains time to change, to take the high road.

All eyes are now on Europe. There is hope that Europe could switch to the high road, and force the U.S. and Asia to follow. This week we learned that the new ECB president Mario Draghi is suggesting that the ECB does not intend to backstop governments that cannot balance their budgets, or failing banks that fund them. German Chancellor Angela Merkel is suggesting government must bring their budgets under control before they receive any help from the ECB. In short, Europe is considering taking the high road. If they do, they could force the U.S. and even the world to follow. Merkel and Draghi are pointing us toward the high road. Those clamoring for more QE to off load their bad debts on you, your children and your grandchildren, so they can get their Christmas bonuses, typically work the tollgates on the low road.

The statement out of the European Union meeting this week suggests there remain leaders that are advocating the high road; let us pray they can provide the leadership to make it happen. They are asking governments to cut spending and move toward balanced budgets before the ECB steps in and buys larger amounts of sovereign debt. Draghi appears to be the sort that will wait for tangible evidence and real cuts before backstopping anyone. Chairman Bernanke should take notes and shake off his fear of deflation.

Great pressure is being applied to the ECB to jettison their single mandate of price stability in Europe and join the U.S. Federal Reserve by becoming the buyer of last resort. This is clearly a low road option. If the ECB caves to this pressure, odds rise sharply that the low road is our destiny. If the infrastructure obsessed Bank of China (BOC) keeps the monetary pedal to the metal it will also indicate the low road may be the one the world travels, but they may just take their cue from the ECB. There is evidence that even some of the leaders of communist-capitalism can recognize the advantages of the high road.

On the low road, concerted global QE will cause the global crisis and long wave winter to drag on longer than it will on the high road. With global QE that buys bad debt, the business cycle lows in 2016 will be inflation-adjusted long wave lows as debt is monetized and inflation steals from real returns. Capital will be slow to commit to the new global long wave spring season and it will get off to a much slower start than possible on the high road. Government picks winners and losers on the low road. That plan has not worked out so far, e.g. Solyndra, etc.

The map for the high road is real deficit reduction in the U.S. and in Europe, not just smaller increases, and aggressive pro-growth corporate tax reform; not endless talk, but action. On the high road, the decline of the business cycle will sharper and swifter than most expect. Required writedowns of bad debt investments, necessary government spending cuts and debt deleveraging will not come without pain. On the high road the decline of the business cycle will most likely be a sharp V shaped deflationary recession/depression into late 2012, and possibly mid-2013.

The chart below demonstrates this possible scenario using Market Cycle Dynamics software running with Metastock. The global economy and international markets are a complex system. The low road will not stop the cycles; it will only lengthen the cycles and lead the world inexorably toward chaos and a greater collapse. The high road will restore order and a global boom. A new long wave spring season of global prosperity is what the high road offers.

http://static.safehaven.com/authors/barker/23606_b.png

On the high road, the global economy will make the turn and come roaring out of the V shaped deflation and debt liquidation and into a new long wave spring within 18 months. Hard work, risk taking and ability are what will pick the winners along the high road. The road we choose to travel will determine how and when this business cycle and long wave winter season ends. The road we take will make all the difference.

 

 

 

 

The Worldwide Depression/Recession Of 2012   Jeff Harding Dec 09, 2011 ‘While we're seeing some positive numbers in the US, we're also seeing signs of weakness. And since we live in a world of international trade, the world's woes will hit us. (Read more: http://www.minyanville.com/businessmarkets/articles/eurozone-euro-eurozone-crisis-sovereign-debt/12/9/2011/id/38294#ixzz1g7Hfhu3K) ‘In case you haven’t noticed, the rest of the world continues to slow down and the negative data is accelerating. The big powerhouses of the world, the eurozone (including Germany), Japan, and China are leading this trend and there is no reason to believe that the U.S. will not follow.

I’ve been writing about this theme frequently lately because, while we are seeing some positive numbers here in the U.S., we are also seeing signs of weakness starting to show up, and since we live in a world of international
trade, the world’s woes will hit us.

The first thing to note about this phenomenon is that the central banks of the world, including the Fed, have been doing all they can to support their economies with plentiful money. According to a recent 
Bloomberg article, “Central banks across five continents are undertaking the broadest reduction in borrowing costs since 2009 to avert a global economic slump stemming from Europe’s sovereign-debt turmoil.”

Monetary easing will push the average worldwide central bank interest rate, weighted for gross domestic product, to 1.79% by next June from 2.16% in September, the largest drop in two years, according to data and projections from JPMorgan, which tracks 31 central banks. The number of those banks loosening credit is the most since the third quarter of 2009, when 15 institutions cut rates, the data show.

The People’s Bank of China has raised its main
interest rate three times this year to fight inflation. India’s central bank lifted rates on Oct. 25 by a quarter of a percentage point, while signaling it was nearing the end of its record cycle of increases as the economy cooled.

This is nothing new. Since the Crash of 2008, most central banks have been pumping fiat money into their economies.

The multiple EU sovereign insolvencies—you don’t need to default to be insolvent—are hitting eurozone credit hard, which is a trigger for deflation as money supply declines. Lenders are stuck with bad sovereign loans and there isn’t enough money to bail them all out, much less the PIIGS.

The thing to remember about the eurozone is that it’s not just sovereign insolvencies that is their problem. They became insolvent, yes because governments spent too much, but their economies are in the tank mainly for many of the same reasons the U.S. economy declined (money inflation boom, high debt/spending, housing market collapse triggering depression, high taxes and regulation, and various bailouts to prevent recovery). Until they fix the underlying causes, their banks will collapse and countries will default.

China’s economy relies on the West for its exports, and as a 
result:

Manufacturing production falls at fastest rate in three months; the lowest service sector growth since August;

Overall input costs fall for the first month since July 2010;

Service sector business optimism second-lowest in series history.

Chinas frequent monetary stimulus, along with government real estate policies, keeps feeding their real estate boom-bust cycles.

Once you look at the data (below), you will see where we and the world are headed. 

While these economies are shrinking, demand for
commodities, capital goods, and manufactured goods all decline. This is impacting commodity prices; they have been falling since this summer (mainly a supply-demand factor, not just a money deflation issue). Each country/zone will have a different reaction to all this. Most will continue to inflate (print money).

Money printing will have little impact on declining prices for the time being. Unless they panic. If they panic -- that is, massively pump money -- they will suffer from price inflation. China will have more booms and the eurozone will also stagnate as well. Japan will continue to go "Japanese," and 
depending on what the Fed does, it is likely well go Japanese as well.

Here is what it looks like:

N.B. The word depression frightens a lot of people. It should. But, we are in one now. Our leaders just invented the word recession to take our minds off whats really happening. Murray Rothbard in his book, Americas Great Depression noted that when the economy crashed again in 1937, Franklin D. Roosevelt and his advisers didnt want to use the D word so they came up with recession. Until that time there were no recessions. Now a recession is just a mini-depression. Since we, in my opinion, have not yet recovered from the Crash of 2008, we are in a depression. Just ask the 25 million Americans who either dont have a job, cant find one, stopped looking, or are working part-time because they cant find full-time work. Just ask the 24% of home owners whose homes are financially underwater.

DATA SUMMARY SHOWS THE US ECONOMY IS IN JEOPARDY  [ Duh! Ya think? ]  Jeff Harding Nov 23, 2011 http://www.minyanville.com/buzz/buzzalert/data-summary-shows-the-us/11/23/2011/id/146675?camp=syndication&medium=portals&from=yahoo ‘An overview of all the factors at play leads to one inevitable conclusion.


The Crossroad
The economy is at one of those crossroads where 
something is going to happen. Whether that will be a positive or a negative is often difficult to tell because at any time one of those “black swans” could land in our midst and change everything. Plans are fluid and and forecasting can be quixotic. That said, I believe we are at a critical point, and the US economy is heading for a fall.

To understand what “tomorrow” might be, we need to look at today and try to tie those threads together. Here is my analysis step by step, and you can decide if you agree with my conclusions.

Today
I have been looking at a lot of
data reports in terms of an overall view of the economy. I apologize for all of the charts and data, but they offer some insight into trends.

Price Indices
Both the Producer Price Index and the Consumer Price Index have shown modest price increases, but may be trending negative. 

Producer Price Index: 

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards1.png
 
http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards2.png

On a 12-month basis, finished goods have gone up 5.9%, intermediate goods up 8.3%, and crude goods up 12.6%. However, the recent trend is down, as the above chart shows.

Consumer Price Index:

Consumer prices declined 0.1%, and core (less energy and food) went up 0.1%. On a year-over-year basis, prices have increased 3.5%, but that is down from 3.9% the prior month, mainly due to energy costs.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards3.png


Industrial Production

Industrial production as measured by shipments showed a 0.7% gain in October, and the 12-month index was up 3.9%.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards4.png  

Manufacturing

The important 
factory sector output was up 0.5% in October and up 4.1% for the 12 months. The only negative here, and it is a significant one, is that new orders are flat, but may not be declining:

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards5.png

The more telling 
ISM Manufacturing Index shows some weakness:

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards6.png


The capital goods sector has been showing strong growth:

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards7.png

Business Sales

Business sales and inventories are also 
steady:

Businesses are carefully managing their inventories, keeping them lean as sales move incrementally forward. Business inventories are unchanged in the September report with sales up 0.6 percent [11.06% YoY], a combination that keeps the inventory-to-sales ratio at 1.27. This ratio has been pretty steady for the last two years after spiking as high as 1.49 during the recession when sales of course plunged.


But note that these numbers are nominal, not adjusted for inflation. 

Retail Sales

Retail sales and food services were up 0.5% for October, and 7.2% year over year. Again, these numbers are not adjusted for inflation. They are steady but have been flat (±) since August 2010.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards8.png


Wages and Earnings

Real wages continue to be weak. While real wages increased 0.3% in October, that was after a CPI adjustment ((earnings +0.2)+(CPI -0.1%)). On a year-over-year basis, real earnings are down 1.6%. “An 
unchanged average workweek combined with the decline in real average hourly earnings resulted in a 1.7 percent decrease in real average weekly earnings during the same period,” according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Bank Credit

Bank credit conditions are still sluggish.

Consumer credit

Consumer credit increased at an annual rate of 1.5% in the third quarter. Revolving credit decreased at an annual rate of 3.25%, while nonrevolving credit increased 3.75%. In September consumer credit increased at an annual rate of 3.5%. Revolving credit is credit card debt; nonrevolving debt is mostly auto loans and student loans. Generally, consumer credit has been rather flat except for auto loans, which have been up and down, but mostly up:
 
http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards9.png


Business credit

What has changed is that commercial and industrial loans have grown, especially at small domestic banks. Look at the 
Fed’s H.8 commercial bank commercial and industrial (C&I) loans in 2011 (note: I modified this chart to fit):


http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards10.png


(Note that “Other consumer loans” are mostly auto loans. This consumer credit data is slightly different than the Fed’s G.19 data on consumer credit, above.)

What we see is that C&I loans took off starting in the first quarter of 2011. While the data for large domestic banks shows steady C&I loan growth since the fourth quarter of 2009, small domestic bank C&I lending shot up in the first quarter of 2011, from zero base to $20 billion:

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards11.png


Even more surprising is that 
average loan size for small banks increased from about $100,000 to almost $650,000. One might conclude from this that the credit freeze is over and small banks are lending and small to medium business enterprises (SMEs) are borrowing, thus indicating a recovery.

What is happening?

The main reason for this sudden increase in loan activity is competition. Ever since Dodd-Frank, banks have been scrambling to figure out how to make more money, as many credit card and other account fees were prohibited in an attempt to protect consumers. One way to offset that loss is to gain more
business customers, and there has been a scramble by both large and small banks for SME customers.

Small banks have the most to gain or lose in this competition because SMEs are their territory. So they are pursuing customers. Many also believe that there is a window of opportunity with favorable spreads and thus the timing is critical to expand business before that window closes. The initial beneficiaries seem to be the banks in the $5 billion to $10 billion asset range, which are classified as small banks.
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, an investment bank specializing in services to the banking sector said:


[Damon DelMonte, an analyst with KBW Inc.'s Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Inc.] said banks reporting loan growth are taking a bigger slice of the pie, but the pie isn’t getting much bigger. “We’re not of the belief that the demand for new loans is really ramping up,” he said. “It seems like it’s more of a shifting of market share. Smaller banks are going to benefit at the expense of larger banks.“


This was also 
confirmed by the Fed’s October 2011 Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey on Bank Lending Practices, where they reported increased competition, but that loan demand was weak:

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards12.png


I will explain the significance of this data further on.

International Trade

On the international scene, imports were actually down slightly, which was seen as a 
positive by most analysts (I see it as a negative):

The US trade deficit unexpectedly improved in September, but a significant part of it appears to have been related to flight to safety to gold during September’s weak financial markets. The September trade gap shrank to $43.1 billion from $44.9 billion in August. The latest shortfall was narrower than analysts’ expectations for a $46.3 billion deficit. Exports gained 1.4 percent after edging up 0.1 percent in August. Imports rose 0.3 percent in September, following a 0.2 percent decline the prior month.


Exports have been a 
substantial driver of the economy ($2.117 trillion):

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards13.png


International Capital Flows

 The Treasury International Capital Report shows us that money 
continues to flow into the US seeking refuge mainly in Treasuries:

Volatility in international financial markets made for a second straight month of increasing inflow into long-term US securities, at $68.6 billion in September following August’s revised $58.0 billion. These follow inflows of only $9.1 billion and $4.1 billion in the two prior months. US investors, repatriating their funds, were small net sellers of foreign securities in September. But increasing demand for US securities is narrowly based into Treasuries in contrast to outflows for corporate bonds and especially US equities which is no surprise given the general move into safety and away from risk. Net outflows from equities were a very steep $19.2 billion in September following August’s $6.5 billion outflow.


Summary

Here is a summary of the above data:

#1. Industrial production (manufacturing and services) is continuing a flat to declining trend that has been going on since the second quarter of 2010. Manufacturing has shown recent growth, but it mirrors the negative to flat trend. Capital goods orders have improved, reflecting technological upgrades (which is also mirrored in software sales).

#2. Prices are starting to decline both at the producer and consumer level. Oil prices are likely to decline as worldwide economic activity slows. But, as we know, political shocks from producers can alter this forecast dramatically.

#3. Retail sales, adjusted for price inflation, continue to be flat to declining.

#4. Credit conditions are still tight at the consumer level, and
business credit still suffers from lack of demand.

#5. Exports have been a primary driver of the economy and have 
rebounded substantially post-crash as a result of a devalued dollar.

#6. European economic problems have caused a significant influx of money into the US, and that has been parked in Treasuries.


Here is a summary of other data I feel is important and that I have recently discussed:

#1. Unemployment is high. At 9% there are 13.9 million unemployed, while the broader measure of unemployed (U-6) is 25 million. While unemployment has been dropping at a snail’s pace, jobs are not being created at a sufficient rate to substantially reduce unemployment. New jobless claims have been hovering around the 400,000 per week for the entire year.

#2. Real 
disposable income is falling.

#3.
Personal savings have fallen from a post-crash high of 5.8% in June 2010 to 3.6% as of September 2011 because consumers are using savings to fund consumption.

#4. GDP is static rather than growing, and the latest
third-quarter boost will likely not continue. It is likely that the third-quarter report will be revised downward.

#5. Auto sales are related to 
pent-up demand and are not likely to be sustained.

#6. The 
top 5% of earners account for 37% of all consumer spending, and it is they who are supporting consumer spending. I call this a “bifurcated economy.” There is no broad-based consumer spending rally.

#7. Household debt ($13.9 trillion) is still 
historically very high and has not been substantially reduced.

#8. U.S. 
sovereign debt is 100% of GDP ($15 trillion and growing).

#9. All 
government spending (federal, state, and local) constitutes 45.6% of GDP.

#10. The 
euro crisis will have a substantial impact on the rest of the world, including the US. That is difficult to predict, but we’ll know very soon. According to recent data, the world is heading into recession in almost all economies.

#11. The federal government is currently running a $1.3 trillion 
annual deficit

#12.
Unfunded liabilities for Social Security, Medicare, and prescription drug (Part D) are $116.4 trillion and growing. This does not include the pending problem with student loans (Sallie Mae) or obligations to government-sponsored enterprises.

#13. The
MF Global (MFGLQ.PK) problem is indicative of a declining economy. It is likely that in a growing economy, MF Global would have been able to ride out its crisis. In a declining economy, company weaknesses tend to be revealed, as with Lehman. That creates market uncertainty.

#14. Oil prices have risen from $40 a barrel post-crash to $110 a barrel in April 2011, and presently are at $97 a barrel. Such oil price increases are associated with and often presage recessions.

#15. Bank balance sheets are still weak because they do not book asset values at market, they seem to not properly book troubled loans, and they are encumbered by a substantial amount of 
malinvested assets that have not been liquidated.

#16. 47 million Americans (15%) are on
food stamps; 48.5% of the population lived in a household that received some type of government aid in the first quarter of 2010.

#17. Americans are pessimistic about their future and the future of America, according to almost all recent polls.

#18. An
 angry and disaffected population in America is potentially politically dangerous. 


What is important when looking at the data is to spot trends rather than specific numbers. I have what I believe is a healthy skepticism about the reports from the multitude of federal agencies that I follow on a regular basis. They are often revised and probably understate the negatives. That is especially so with price inflation. Many of the reports are in nominal numbers rather than adjusted for official price inflation. If they are adjusted for inflation (chained), their baseline is a recent year. Many analysts put great emphasis on specific numbers, but quantifiable data is ephemeral and probably “gamed.” Look at the trend.

Reminder: This is part one of a two-part series. The second half will be published on Minyanville on Friday, November 25.’

25 Bitter And Painful Facts About The Coming Baby Boomer Retirement Crisis That Will Blow Your Mind The Economic Collapse | For decades we were warned that when the Baby Boomers started to retire that this country would be facing a retirement crisis of unprecedented magnitude. The Economic Collapse November 23, 2011

For decades we were warned that when the Baby Boomers started to retire that this country would be facing a retirement crisis of unprecedented magnitude.  Well, that day has arrived ladies and gentlemen.  Back on January 1st, the Baby Boomers began to retire and more than 10,000 of them will be retiring every single day for years to come.  Most of them have not saved up nearly enough money for retirement.  At the same time, private sector pension plans are failing all over the place, hundreds of state and local government pension plans from coast to coast are woefully underfunded, and the Social Security system is on the road to complete and total disaster.  A massive wave of humanity is hitting retirement age at a moment in history when the U.S. economy is coming apart at the seams.  We do not have the resources to keep the promises that we made to the Baby Boomers, and most of them have not made adequate preparations for retirement.  What we have is a gigantic mess on our hands, and millions of Baby Boomers are going to find retirement to be very bitter and very painful.

A lot of younger Americans just assume that Social Security is enough to take care of the needs of elderly Americans.  But that is just not the case.

Have you ever tried to live solely on a Social Security check?

It is not easy.  The truth is that those checks are just not that large.

The following comes directly from the Social Security Administration.

The average monthly Social Security benefit for a retired worker was about $1,177 at the beginning of 2011.

Could you live on less than 300 dollars a week?

And keep in mind that the $1,177 monthly figure is just an average.  Many receive a lot less than that.

In addition, Social Security benefits have been seriously squeezed by inflation in recent years.  The cost of food and other basics has risen briskly and Social Security benefits have not.

Today, many elderly Americans have to make a choice between buying food, heating their homes or buying medicine that they need.  They simply do not have enough money to do all of them.

It would have been nice if all of the Baby Boomers had been busy saving money for retirement all these years, but that just did not happen.  In fact, the Baby Boomers as a group are trillions of dollars short of what they need for retirement.

So why doesnt the U.S. government step in to help them out?

Well, the reality of the situation is that the U.S. government is flat broke.  The federal government is now over 15 trillion dollars in debt.  During the Obama administration so far, the U.S. government has accumulated more new debt than it did from the time that George Washington took office to the time that Bill Clinton took office.

Lawmakers are already looking at ways to make the Social Security program less costly.  No, the federal government is not going to be riding to the rescue.

In fact, it will be a minor miracle if the Social Security program is able to survive until the end of this decade, and it will be a major miracle if the Social Security program is able to survive until 2030.

As for myself, I do not believe that I will ever see a single penny from Social Security, and many other working age Americans feel the same way.

Retirement is supposed to be a fun time, but sadly most Americans that are approaching retirement age are not going to have any golden years to look forward to.

Rather, millions of elderly Americans are going to find the years ahead absolutely agonizing as they struggle just to survive.

The following are 25 bitter and painful facts about the coming Baby Boomer retirement crisis that will blow your mind.

#1 According to the Employee Benefit Research Institute, 46 percent of all American workers have less than $10,000 saved for retirement, and 29 percent of all American workers have less than $1,000 saved for retirement.

#2 According to a recent poll conducted by Americans for Secure Retirement,88 percent of all Americans are worried about maintaining a comfortable standard of living in retirement.  Last year, that figure was at 73 percent.

#3 A study conducted by Boston Colleges Center for Retirement Research has found that American workers are $6.6 trillion short of what they need to retire comfortably.

#4 Today, one out of every six elderly Americans lives below the federal poverty line.

#5 On January 1st, 2011 the very first Baby Boomers started to retire.  For almost the next 20 years, more than 10,000 Baby Boomers will be retiring every single day.

#6 At the moment, only about 13 percent of all Americans are 65 years of age or older.  By 2030, that number will soar to 18 percent.

#7 Right now, there are somewhere around 40 million senior citizens.  By 2050 that number is projected to increase to 89 million.

#8 Back in 1991, half of all American workers planned to retire before they reached the age of 65.  Today, that number has declined to 23 percent.

#9 According to one recent survey, 74 percent of American workers expect to continue working once they are retired.

#10 According to a recent AARP survey of Baby Boomers, 40 percent of themplan to work until they drop.

#11 A poll conducted by CESI Debt Solutions found that 56 percent of American retirees still had outstanding debts when they retired.

#12 A study by a law professor at the University of Michigan found that Americans that are 55 years of age or older now account for 20 percent of all bankruptcies in the United States.  Back in 2001, they only accounted for 12 percent of all bankruptcies.

#13 Between 1991 and 2007 the number of Americans between the ages of 65 and 74 that filed for bankruptcy rose by a staggering 178 percent.

#14 What is causing most of these bankruptcies among the elderly?  The number one cause is medical bills.  According to a report published in The American Journal of Medicine, medical bills are a major factor in more than 60 percent of the personal bankruptcies in the United States.  Of those bankruptcies that were caused by medical bills, approximately 75 percent of them involved individuals that actually did have health insurance.

#15 Public retirement funds all over the United States are woefully underfunded.  For example, it has been reported that the $33.7 billion Illinois Teachers Retirement System is 61% underfunded and is on the verge of complete collapse.

#16 Most U.S. states have huge pension obligations which threaten to bankrupt them.  For example, pension consultant Girard Miller told Californias Little Hoover Commission that state and local government bodies in the state of California have $325 billion in combined unfunded pension liabilities.  When you break that down, it comes to $22,000 for every single working adult in the state of California.

#17 Robert Novy-Marx of the University of Chicago and Joshua D. Rauh of Northwesterns Kellogg School of Management have calculated the combined pension liability for all 50 U.S. states.  What they found was that the 50 states are collectively facing $5.17 trillion in pension obligations, but they only have $1.94 trillion set aside in state pension funds.  That is a difference of 3.2 trillion dollars.  So where in the world is all of that extra money going to come from?

#18 According to the Congressional Budget Office, the Social Security systempaid out more in benefits than it received in payroll taxes in 2010.  That was not supposed to happen until at least 2016.  Sadly, in the years ahead these Social Security deficits are scheduled to become absolutely nightmarish as hordes of Baby Boomers retire.

#19 In 1950, each retirees Social Security benefit was paid for by 16U.S. workers.  According to new data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are now only 1.75 full-time private sector workers for each person that is receiving Social Security benefits in the United States.

#20 The U.S. government now says that the Medicare trust fund will run outfive years faster than they were projecting just last year.

#21 The total cost of just three federal government programs the Department of Defense, Social Security and Medicare exceeded the total amount of taxes brought in during fiscal 2010 by 10 billion dollars.  In the years ahead expenses related to Social Security and Medicare are projected to skyrocket dramatically.

#22 The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation is the agency of the federal government that pays monthly retirement benefits to hundreds of thousands of retirees that were covered under defined benefit pension plans that failed.  The retirement crisis has barely even begun and the PBGC is already dead broke.  The PBGC says that it ran a deficit of $26 billion during the fiscal year that just ended and that it will probably need a huge bailout from the federal government.

#23 According to a survey by careerbuilder.com, 36 percent of all Americans say that they dont contribute anything at all to retirement savings.

#24 More than 30 percent of all investors in the United States that are currently in their sixties have more than 80 percent of their 401k plans invested in equities.  So what is going to happen to them if the stock market crashes?

#25 A survey taken earlier this year found that 20 percent of all U.S. workers admitted that they had postponed their planned retirement age at least once during the last 12 months.  Back in 2008, that number was only at 14 percent.

Our politicians should have addressed the retirement crisis decades ago before we got to the point of being in debt up to our eyeballs.

It is being projected that the U.S. national debt will hit 344% of GDP by the year 2050, and the Congressional Budget Office says that U.S. government debt held by the public will reach a staggering 716% of GDP by the year 2080.

Obviously those figures will never be reached because our financial system would totally collapse long before then.

So what do we do?

We have tens of millions of elderly Americans that are completely and totally dependent on Social Security and Medicare, but those programs also threaten to bankrupt us as a nation.

Anyone that believes that there is a quick fix to these issues is being naive.

The supercommittee was supposed to address this problem, but they failed so spectacularly that they have become a national joke.

Sadly, most of our politicians just keep kicking the can down the road.  They hope that somehow things will just magically work out.

Well, the truth is that things are not going to work out.  The poverty level among the elderly is going to continue to increase.  Pension plans all over this nation are going to continue to fail in staggering numbers.  Social Security and Medicare are going to bleed more red ink with each passing year.

Something should have been done about this problem a long, long time ago.

But it wasnt.

This crisis was ignored, dealing with it was put off time after time and all the doomsayers were laughed at.

Now the crisis is here, and we are all going to pay the price.

 



Presenting Russell Napier's Greatest Hits Two weeks ago, courtesy of Gresham's Law, we brought to our readers Jim Grant's greatest hits: a compilation of the most memorable TV appearances by the famous newsletter writer. Today, we are happy to present another controversial luminary - Russell Napier: the renowned financial historian and consultant for CLSA, as well as author of the engrossing Anatomy of the Bear, who only together with Albert Edwards, has predicted that the S&P would eventually drop to 400. Napier has articulated some fantastic insights on the generational cycle, bear market bottoms and currencies in recent years. His insights, unlike those of TV pundits whose soundbites are only there to fill the gap between two ad segments, are always something to look forward to.

Bear in mind, we have not had an official end of this recession declared yet.’ I believe mish mosh shedlock is a lightweight (link to ‘huffington post’? What’s up with that?) but he does include the following excerpt from Chris Puplava which is important, infra (Burt Domen and David Rosenberg are the ‘real deal’ - Financial Crisis Phase II Is Ahead at Forbes Bert Dohmen ‘ In late 2007, I wrote the book Prelude To Meltdown, predicting the global crisis that occurred the following year.  I now see a similar confluence of events .. “the new recession has started.”… Over the past 33 years, we have called the start of every recession..Currently, the GDP deflator is 1.8%, which hardly reflects the true rise in prices. Therefore, what is counted as “growth,” is actually price increases. Actual inflation..is now more than 11%. Using that to adjust GDP for inflation, would show that the economy is now in a very sharp contraction…’, David Rosenberg: “It’s Time To Start Calling This For What It Is: A Modern Day Depression” Zero Hedge ,  David Rosenberg On The Depression, The ECB, MF Global As A Canary In The Coalmine... All With A Surprise Ending,  This is No Cyclical Recession… It is a Secular DE-pression

 

 

‘Chris Puplava took a good hard look at the LEI in Fool Me Once, Shame on You. Fool Me Twice, Shame on Me.

One of the things that many market commentators and research houses have pointed at to support their bullish outlook on the stock market are the leading economic indicators. I have had the sneaky suspicion that the aggressive and unprecedented actions on the part of the Fed have played a significant role in the LEI given a misleading signal as to an economic turnaround it is forecasting, while the economic components would likely paint a different picture. It is important to understand the makeup of the Conference Board’s Leading Economic Index (LEI) and the weights that each component makes up of the LEI. Below is the breakdown of the ten indicators that make up the LEI and their respective weights in the index. As seen below, the three financial indicators make up approximately 50% of the LEI while the seven economic components make up the other 50%, with the M2 money supply alone making up 35.8% of the total LEI. Money makes the world go round, I guess, according to the LEI.

Shown below are the YOY rate of change growth rates in the Conference Board’s LEI and my indexes of the economic and monetary components separated out. What is a clear take away is that the monetary LEI is doing the heavy lifting as the economic LEI remains in negative territory.

What you can also see is that beginning in the 1980s the growth rate between the monetary and economic LEI began to show a greater disparity in their growth rates than they did in the 1970s. What this would tend to imply is that a greater level of monetary stimulus measures were needed to translate into improved economic growth rates. This aligns with the second chart below that shows the dollar increase in debt per dollar increase in GDP, which shows higher amounts of debt were needed to produce a dollar of GDP, and we are fast approaching the “Zero Hour” in which rising debt does not translate into increased economic growth, or the “pay the piper” moment for our economy.

Zero Hour - Debt Fails To Add To GDP

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nSTO-vZpSgc/Ss2SVk6uicI/AAAAAAAAHCA/b69hK64Ycto/s400/Zero+Hour.png

Further illustrating the notion that it is taking record stimulus just to keep growth going is the YOY growth rate difference between the Monetary LEI and the Economic LEI, with the disparity between the two growth rates at the highest level in the last half century.

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nSTO-vZpSgc/Ss2S_Aqy0rI/AAAAAAAAHCI/KZv4Rc8hAR0/s400/LEI-YY-%25change2.png

The above charts simply illustrate that our economy is fundamentally weak and instead of allowing our economy to sober up after its debt binge, our monetary and governmental authorities are trying to keep the economy drunk and chugging along, using greater amounts of monetary alcohol than ever before…’

 

 

 

Something Big Is Coming... and It's Going to Be BAD Phoenix Capital... 11/18/2011 ‘We have been getting MAJOR warning signs of a collapse for months now. No less than the Bank of England, the IMF, and legendary asset management firm Franklin Templeton have warned that we are... Something major is occuring in the markets today.The US economy peaked in 2007. However, throughout much of 2008, the stock market continued to rally despite the economic collapse as well as the financial system imploding.Throughout this period the credit markets jammed up and implied something VERY BAD was in the system. However, stock investors continued to pile into stocks because, well, frankly stocks always are the last to "get it."And when stocks finally did get it... it was quite a thing.This same environment is occurring today. Only this time the collapse is sovereign in nature: entire countries are going bust.We have been getting MAJOR warning signs of a collapse for months now. No less than the Bank of England, the IMF, and legendary asset management firm Franklin Templeton have warned that we are facing an epic, hellish crisis.We got the first taste of this in August when the S&P 500 literally wiped out a year's worth of gains in two weeks The only thing that brought us back from the brink at that time was the belief that the EU mess might be solvable and a coordinated intervention from the world Central Banks.We then had a spirited rally as the Fed and central banks went "all in" to force the stock market above its 200-DMA.This final "hurrah" has failed and the financial system is literally imploding. The EU will be broken up in the next month or so and it is highly likely Germany will back out of the Euro altogether.Moreover, the world central banks are now totally out of ammunition. They've spent Trillions of Dollars in bailouts, abandoned accounting standards, and even moved TRILLIONs in garbage debt onto the public's balance sheet.None of this has worked. The credit markets are jammed up just like in 2008. Italy, the third largest bond market in the world, is on the verge of default. No one wants to fund the EFSF. China is entering a hard landing and economic collapse. The US is in a clear depression.And on and on.This is the single most dangerous market environment of our lifetimes.  We are entering a period of massive wealth destruction. We will see bank holidays and civil unrest. We will see sovereign defaults. We will see temporary shortages in various goods and services.So if you have not already taken steps to prepare for systemic failure, you NEED to do so NOW. We're literally at most a few months, and very likely just a few weeks from Europe's banks imploding…’

The next financial crisis will be hellish, and its on its way Nov 17th, 2011 (Forbes) —‘ There is definitely going to be another financial crisis around the corner, says hedge fund legend Mark Mobius, because we havent solved any of the things that caused the previous crisis.Were raising our alert status for the next financial crisis. We already raised it last week after spreads on U.S. credit default swaps started blowing out.

If the value of their portfolio were to fall by just 2%, the Fed itself would be wiped out.[source]



The next financial crisis will be hellish, and its on its way  http://news.yahoo.com/next-financial-crisis-hellish-way-204303737.html   Addison Wiggin | Forbes  Wed, Nov 16, 2011  "There is definitely going to be another financial crisis around the corner," says hedge fund legend Mark Mobius, "because we haven't solved any of the things that caused the previous crisis."

We're raising our alert status for the next financial crisis. We already raised it last week after spreads on U.S. credit default swaps started blowing out.  We raised it again after seeing the remarks of Mr. Mobius, chief of the $50 billion emerging markets desk at Templeton Asset Management.

Speaking in Tokyo, he pointed to derivatives, the financial hairball of futures, options, and swaps in which nearly all the world's major banks are tangled up.

Estimates on the amount of derivatives out there worldwide vary. An oft-heard estimate is $600 trillion. That squares with Mobius' guess of 10 times the world's annual GDP. "Are the derivatives regulated?" asks Mobius. "No. Are you still getting growth in derivatives? Yes."

In other words, something along the lines of securitized mortgages is lurking out there, ready to trigger another crisis as in 2007-08.

What could it be? We'll offer up a good guess, one the market is discounting.

Seldom does a stock index rise so much, for so little reason, as the Dow did on the open Tuesday morning: 115 Dow points on a rumor that Greece is going to get a second bailout.

Let's step back for a moment: The Greek crisis is first and foremost about the German and French banks that were foolish enough to lend money to Greece in the first place. What sort of derivative contracts tied to Greek debt are they sitting on? What worldwide mayhem would ensue if Greece didn't pay back 100 centimes on the euro?

That's a rhetorical question, since the balance sheets of European banks are even more opaque than American ones. Whatever the actual answer, it's scary enough that the European Central Bank has refused to entertain any talk about the holders of Greek sovereign debt taking a haircut, even in the form of Greece stretching out its payments.

That was the preferred solution among German leaders. But it seems the ECB is about to get its way. Greece will likely get another bailout 30 billion euros on top of the 110 billion euro bailout it got a year ago.

It will accomplish nothing. Going deeper into hock is never a good way to get out of debt. And at some point, this exercise in kicking the can has to stop. When it does, you get your next financial crisis.

And what of the derivatives sitting on the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve? Here's another factor behind our heightened state of alert.

"Through quantitative easing efforts alone," says Euro Pacific Capital's Michael Pento, "Ben Bernanke has added $1.8 trillion of longer-term GSE debt and mortgage-backed securities (MBS)."

Think about that for a moment. The Fed's entire balance sheet totaled around $800 billion before the 2008 crash, nearly all of it Treasuries. Now the Fed holds more than double that amount in mortgage derivatives alone, junk that the banks needed to clear off their own balance sheets.

"As the size of the Fed's balance sheet ballooned," continues Mr. Pento, "the dollar amount of capital held at the Fed has remained fairly constant. Today, the Fed has $52.5 billion of capital backing a $2.7 trillion balance sheet.

"Prior to the bursting of the credit bubble, the public was shocked to learn that our biggest investment banks were levered 30-to-1. When asset values fell, those banks were quickly wiped out. But now the Fed is holding many of the same types of assets and is levered 51-to-1! If the value of their portfolio were to fall by just 2%, the Fed itself would be wiped out."

Mr. Pento's and Mr. Mobius' views line up with our own, which we laid out during interviews on our trip to China this month.

Tighter Credit Suggests Stocks Should Fall  The Wall Street Journal All in all, the US stock-market selloff of the past couple of days has not been nearly as bad as it could have been, given that credit-market stress indicators are pushing to levels not seen since the 2008-09 crisis.

It might only be a matter of time before stocks catch up, however.

The US market has been buoyed by a string of better-than-expected economic reports that have helped encourage the belief that the US is a relatively safe haven, insulated from the problems of Europe.

But these data are coincident, or lagging, data at best, warns Mike Darda of MKM Partners. Leading indicators are found in the credit markets and are pointing to tighter financial conditions and lower stock prices in the future:

Pressures on sovereign debt markets in Europe have created concerns about collateral and capital in the European banking system, pushing funding spreads sharply wider (two-year euro interest rate swap spreads hit 114 bps today, a new 2011 high and not far from the October 2008 peak of 126 bps).

These pressures are also affecting the U.S. financial system and credit markets. Two-year interest rate swap spreads in the U.S. have hit new 2011 highs above 50 bps;  three-month FRA/OIS spreads (based on expectations of LIBOR settings)  hit 70 bps today. Three-month dollar LIBOR has set higher every day since late July.

Although U.S. credit markets are not nearly in the condition that European credit markets are, they are nonetheless deteriorating, which is one reason we should not take too much comfort in recent coincident data on sales and production that have yet to reflect the tighter financial conditions now in place.

U.S. short-term funding indicators suggest corporate-quality spreads could rise by more than 40%, a move that would likely spark at least a 10%-15% decline in the S&P 500 from current levels. FRA/OIS spreads tend to lead corporate spreads by about one month. They also have led the S&P 500 equity index by about that interval over most of the last two years. At current levels (near 70 bps), the FRA/OIS spreads suggest corporate spreads will widen by  40-50%. This would be tantamount to Baa/Aaa spreads rising to 190 bps from 127 bps, which would mark new highs for the year.

A similar surge in high yield spreads from here would place them at  669 bps, also new highs for the year. The S&P 500 equity index, which tends to move inversely to the level of credit spreads, would most likely decline by at least 10%-15%  if this scenario unfolds,  which would place the S&P 500 back below 1100.

As for the recent patch of stronger-than-expected economic data, lets not forget that real GDP expanded by 3.6% in Q207 and then by 3% in Q307, right as the business cycle peaked. Credit markets and financial conditions  lead the business cycle; coincident data tell us where we are or have been. At turning points, coincident datawhich tend to be extrapolated forward by Wall Street forecasterscan be misleading. And costly.

Train Reading: Tiger Woods Vs. Bill Miller The Wall Street Journal

What do Tiger Woods and Bill Miller have in common? Abnormal Returns { So absolutely preposterous is the notion (as per this article) of comparison of golf / golfers, to stock trading / traders, I felt compelled to comment here for the record. Ive always viewed golf / golfers in a favorable light. Indeed, as kids we literally did everything at the affluent Arcola Country Club [which bordered the Rainbows End riding stables (horses) for hire to the public]. From hunting, to fishing, to sleigh-riding, to ice-skating / hockey, to campfires on the ice at night, to of course, golfing the back-nine with golf balls amply supplied from the rough, we were tacitly approved interlopers whose occasional interaction with the extremely civilized affluent members was always amicably cordial and a pleasure. While I always liked golf and admire the skill involved, I hardly considered it a sport per se (and for me and my body type, insufficient exercise for the amount of time spent). Rather, I thought of golf as a gentlemans indulgent diversion, and the golf course itself a place of peaceable beauty. Those are good things. On the other hand, traders and wall street particularly are so sordid and despicable so as to make any such comparisons a stretch at best and sheer nonsense at worse. There are very few successful traders over time as probabilities eventually catch up. Moreover, inside help / connections eventually (except for the biggest frauds ie., the big [ still unprosecuted ] boys, ie., goldmans, et als) dry up, fade away like old (mafia foot) soldiers. Additionally, the high volume computerization / programmed / manipulated High Frequency Trading have left most not connected to said churn-and-earn scam / fraud in the dust. No do not insult golfers by comparing them with traders; and, do not disparage golf by speciously comparing it to trading or any other sordid activity connected to fraudulent wall street; they are as dissimilar as day and night. }

Do Valuation Metrics Still Apply or Has The Market Become Untradable? Simon Maierhofer Etf Guide [ Short answers: No and yes the market has become untradable for investors. I would add that the debased dollar policies (ie., QEs, overprinting of paper currencies / dollars, etc.) enable sales / revenues to be booked with more of the inflated dollars relative to costs booked at the fewer / greater value dollars which spikes earnings but leads to the inevitable margin erosion when the reported costs catch up in terms of inflated Weimar dollars. Hence, even the averages when deflated for real inflation (see Faisal infra) show a far less sanguine picture (than say, hard assets, ie., gold, etc.). Even more important is the effect of the HFT programmed trades (the current article follows):

12 Reasons To Be Extremely Pessimistic About The Direction That The Economy Is Headed    The American Dream
November 2, 2011
Do you want to feel optimistic about the U.S. economy?  If so, you might not want to read the rest of this article.  In many areas of the United States today, you can almost smell the fear and the anxiety in the air.  Survey after survey has found that the American people are extremely pessimistic about the direction the economy is headed.  In fact, many recent surveys have found that economic pessimism is at the highest levels ever recorded.  There has been an astonishing loss of faith in the system.  In general, people are extremely dissatisfied with how things are going right now, and they do not believe that things will get better any time soon.  When the majority of the population starts losing hope like that, it creates a very unstable economic environment.  Once people are gripped by desperation, they start behaving much differently.  Desperate people do desperate things, and we are already starting to see this in many parts of the country.

It would be great if there was some reason to be optimistic about things, but our leaders continue to pursue the same failed policies that got us into this mess in the first place.

The statistics that you are about to read should alarm you.  The American people have gotten it into their heads that things are bad and that they are going to get even worse.

Unfortunately, the American people are correct about that.

The following are 12 reasons to be extremely pessimistic about the direction that the economy is headed right now.

#1 A big chunk of the American people are flat broke.  According to one recent survey, one-third of all Americans say that they have absolutely no spare cash.

#2 The budgets of American families are being stretched incredibly thin and the savings rate is going down again.  In fact, the savings rate in September was the lowest that it has been since December 2007.

#3 Back in 2001, Gallup began asking Americans about how they feel about the state of their own personal finances.  In October, Gallup once again asked this question, and 22 percent of the respondents rated their personal financial situations as poor.  That is the highest number that Gallup has ever seen.  In addition, the gap between the number of Americans that said that their finances were getting worse and the number of Americans that said their finances were getting better was also the largest that Gallup has ever seen.

#4 Overall, Americans are very depressed about the state of the U.S. economy.  According to a recent Associated Press-GfK poll, 43 percent of all Americans believe that the economy is in very poor shape.

#5 Big corporations continue to lay off more American workers.  For example, Whirlpool has just announced that it will be slashing 5,000 more jobs in the United States and Europe.

#6 Americans seem to have an incredibly dim view of the job market.  One recent survey discovered the following.

This month, just 9% of Americans would rate the job market of their region of the nation as good while 67% would rate it as bad and one-quarter (24%) say it is neither good nor bad.

#7 If nearly all Americans believe that something bad is going to happen, does that make it more likely that it actually will happen?  A recent IBOPE Zogby Interactive Poll found that 95 percent of all Americans are somewhat concerned or very concerned that we are headed for a double-dip recession.

#8 The American people are also overwhelmingly pessimistic about the housing market.  In fact, the same IBOPE Zogby Interactive Poll referenced above found that 89 percent of all Americans are somewhat concerned or very concerned that there will be an increase in foreclosures over the next two years.

#9 Older Americans tend to be cranky in general, but the amount of pessimism that they are exhibiting about the economy right now is absolutely stunning.  The following comes from a recent article in the Huffington Post.

Older workers are gloomier about the economy now than they were last year.

Nearly two thirds of workers older than 50 first surveyed by AARPs Public Policy Institute in 2010 said things had gotten worse by the time the senior lobbying powerhouse followed up in August. Fewer than one in 10 said their view of the economy had improved. The rest said things had stayed the same.

#10 The consensus among the American people seems to be that the economy will get even worse leading up to the election in 2012.  The following is what one recent telephone survey discovered.

By a 49%-35% margin, Americans say they expect the U.S. economy to worsen between now and the November 2012 presidential election.

#11 The U.S. national debt is an anchor around our necks that just gets heavier and heavier as time goes by.  The U.S. government is now about 15 trillion dollars in debt, and a recent Allstate-National Journal poll discovered that 79 percent of all Americans believe the federal debt and deficit have a meaningful impact on their personal finances.

#12 The financial crisis in Europe just seems to get worse by the day.  The United States is already teetering on the edge of an economic disaster, and if Europe experiences a big time financial crash it seems extremely unlikely that we would be able to avoid another major recession.

 

Things simply do not look very promising for the economy right now.

As I wrote about recently, there are a lot of signs that the American people are already extremely angry and frustrated by what is happening to the economy.

So what is going to happen if things get significantly worse?

Unfortunately, there simply are not any quick fixes which are going to put us back on course.  The consequences that we are experiencing now are the result of decades of bad decisions.  The American people kept sending incompetents, con men and charlatans back to Washington D.C. over and over and over and now we are going to pay the price.

The prosperity of the last 30 years was a false prosperity.  We squandered our national inheritance and we lived the high life by piling up mountains of debt unlike anything that the world has ever seen before.

In the end, there is always a very high price for living for today at the expense of the future.  Tomorrow always ends up arriving way too soon, and future generations will curse us for being so foolish.

The party was great while it lasted, but it is coming to an end.

A whole lot of economic trouble is on the horizon, and it is going to be very, very painful.

 

 

 

 

Don't Be Fooled - Here's The Real Reason For This Week's Meltdown – ETFguide Simon Maierhofer, 11-1-11  A picture says more than a thousand words and a chart explains more than a thousand analysts' opinions (literally). Profitable investing depends on the credibility of your research sources. This article will contrast the one chart that's predicted every recent turn weeks in advance and conventional Wall Street wisdom.

Wall Street 'Wisdom'

Wall Street made us believe that last Thursday's 3% rally across the board - Dow Jones (DJI: ^DJI), S&P (SNP: ^GSPC), Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC), banks (NYSEArca: KBE - News), financials (NYSEArca: XLF - News), technology (NYSEArca: XLK - News), you name it - was because of a comprehensive European (NYSEArca: VGK - News) debt deal that would solve all problems.

Here are some of the headlines that reflect Wall Street's 'wisdom:'

Forbes: 'Europe three-point debt salvation plan lets bulls free'

Breakout: 'Don't fight the rally: Stocks soar after Europe deal'

Reuters: 'Wall Street soars on hopes EU finally has a fix'

ETFTrends: 'S&P 500 ETFs rally over the 200-day average opens door for year-end rally' (more about the significance of the 200-day average in a moment)

Zachs: 'S&P 1,350 is not a stretch'

Even Greece's Prime Minister George Papandreou was moved to confirm that: 'The debt is absolutely sustainable now. Greece can settle its accounts from the past now, once and for all.'

Today, news that Greece could default on its debt and drop out of the European currency hit the fan.

Trend Following Technicals Turn Up

In all fairness, trend following technicals did turn up. It was even possible to interpret the market's push as a technical breakout. The October 30 ETF Profit Strategy update acknowledged and warned that: 'Trend following technicals, momentum, sentiment and seasonality suggest higher prices. But trend following technicals can be treacherous and we'll do well to view this rally with suspicion.'

In addition to just being suspicious, the update recommended to go short if the S&P falls below 1,270. S&P 1,270 is not just some random number, it was crucial support. The chart below, featured in the October 14 ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter, shows why:

The Most Reliable Roadmap

The chart shows several distinct parallels between the 2007/08 market top and today.

                       https://www.etfguide.com//contributor/UserFiles/8/Image/222.gif  

1) In 2007/08 the S&P touched the yellow trend line twice before slicing through it. The same occurred in 2011.

2) A break below the yellow trend line in 2008 led to a freefall decline. The same occurred on August 2, 2011. On July 31, the ETF Profit Strategy update warned that: 'A break below the 200-day SMA and the trend line may trigger panic selling.'

3) The initial 2008 low was followed by sideways trading and another low. The same occurred in 2011. The August 9 low at S&P 1,102 was followed by another low on October 4 at 1,077.

The October 2 ETF Profit Strategy update expected this low and foretold that: 'The ideal market bottom would see the S&P dip below 1,088 intraday, followed by a strong recovery and a close above 1,088.'

4) This low was followed by a retest of the yellow trend line in 2008. The equivalent 2011 yellow trend line ran through S&P 1,270.

The October 2 update stated that: 'From a technical point of view this counter trend rally should end somewhere around 1,275 - 1,300.'

The October 14 update warned that it wouldn't 'feel' right to short the S&P above 1,270: 'By the time the S&P gets to rendezvous with the yellow trend lines, optimism (at least to a certain degree) will be back and the media will probably tell us that a larger European debt crisis has been averted. It will take a strong contrarian conviction to short the markets at that time.'

Of course there's more to investing than blindly following a previous pattern that may or may not come true.

But as long as other research components such as seasonality and sentiment confirmed what the 2008 outline predicted, there was no reason to doubt it.

The Bottom Might Fall Out

Based solely on the 2008 script, stocks are due for much lower prices…’

 

 

 

Nobel Prize-Winning Economist: War Is Widely Thought To Be Linked To Economic Good Times NONSENSE Washingtons Blog | Contrary to a Common Myth, War is Bad for the Economy Washingtons Blog
November 1, 2011

Contrary to a Common Myth, War is Bad for the Economy

Nobel prize winning economist Paul Krugman wrote yesterday:

Military spending does create jobs when the economy is depressed. Indeed, much of the evidence that Keynesian economics works comes from tracking the effects of past military buildups.

(Mr. Krugman has said the same thing many times in the past. And many other influential people havesaid the same thing.)

I am not a Nobel prize winning economist but Joseph Stiglitz is.

Stiglitz wrote in 2003:

War is widely thought to be linked to economic good times. The second world war is often said to have brought the world out of depression, and war has since enhanced its reputation as a spur to economic growth. Some even suggest that capitalism needs wars, that without them, recession would always lurk on the horizon.

Today, we know that this is nonsense. The 1990s boom showed that peace is economically far better than war. The Gulf war of 1991 demonstrated that wars can actually be bad for an economy.

Stiglitz has also said that this decades Iraq war has been very bad for the economy. See thisthis andthis.

A No-Brainer

This is a no-brainer, if you think about it.

Weve been in Afghanistan for almost twice as long as World War II. Weve been in Iraq for years longer than WWII. Weve been involved in 7 or 8 wars in the last decade. And yet still in a depression. (And see this).

If wars really helped the economy, dont you think things would have improved by now?

Indeed, the Iraq war alone could end up costing more than World War II. And given the other wars weve been involved in this decade, I believe that the total price tag for the so-called War on Terror will definitely support that of the Greatest War.

Additional Reasons War Is Bad for the Economy

The New Republic noted in 2009:

Conservative Harvard economist Robert Barro has argued that increased military spending during WWII actually depressed other parts of the economy.

Also from the right, Robert Higgs has done good work showing that military spendingwasnt the primary source of the recovery and that GDP growth during WWII has been greatly exaggerated.

And from the left, Larry Summers and Brad Delong argued back in 1988 that five-sixths of the decline in output relative to the trend that occurred during the Depression had been made up before 1942.

Economist James Galbraith has shown that war always causes inflation, which hurts the average American:

Inflation applies the law of the jungle to war finance. Prices and profits rise, wages and their purchasing power fall. Thugs, profiteers and the well connected get rich. Working people and the poor make out as they can. Savings erode, through the unseen mechanism of the inflation tax meaning that the government runs a big deficit in nominal terms, but a smaller one when inflation is factored in.

(Ben Bernanke says that inflation is a tax, and Dylan Grice notes that inflation causes societies to prosecute minorities.   And sorry but we cant inflate our way out of our debt trap.)

As I noted last year:

All of the spending on unnecessary wars adds up.

The U.S. is adding trillions to its debt burden to finance its multiple wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, etc.

Two top American economists Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff show that the more indebted a country is, with a government debt/GDP ratio of 0.9, and external debt/GDP of 0.6 being critical thresholds, the more GDP growth drops materially.

Specifically, Reinhart and Rogoff write:

The relationship between government debt and real GDP growth is weak for debt/GDP ratios below a threshold of 90 percent of GDP. Above 90 percent, median growth rates fall by one percent, and average growth falls considerably more. We find that the threshold for public debt is similar in advanced and emerging economies

Indeed, it should be obvious to anyone who looks at the issue that deficits do matter.

A PhD economist [Michel Chossudovsky] told me:

War always causes recession. Well, if it is a very short war, then it may stimulate the economy in the short-run. But if there is not a quick victory and it drags on, then wars always put the nation waging war into a recession and hurt its economy.

You know about Americas unemployment problem. You may have even heard that the U.S. may very well have suffered a permanent destruction of jobs.

But did you know that the defense employment sector is booming?

As I pointed out in August, public sector spending and mainly defense spending has accounted for virtually all of the new job creation in the past 10 years:

The U.S. has largely been financing job creation for ten years. Specifically, as the chief economist for BusinessWeek, Michael Mandel, points out, public spending has accounted for virtually all new job creation in the past 10 years:

Private sector job growth was almost non-existent over the past ten years. Take a look at this horrifying chart:

http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/economicsunbound/archives/longjobs1.gif

Between May 1999 and May 2009, employment in the private sector sector only rose by 1.1%, by far the lowest 10-year increase in the post-depression period.

Its impossible to overstate how bad this is. Basically speaking, the private sector job machine has almost completely stalled over the past ten years. Take a look at this chart:

http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/economicsunbound/archives/longjobs2.gif

Over the past 10 years, the private sector has generated roughly 1.1 million additional jobs, or about 100K per year. The public sector created about 2.4 million jobs.

But even that gives the private sector too much credit. Remember that the private sector includes health care, social assistance, and education, all areas which receive a lot of government support.

***

Most of the industries which had positive job growth over the past ten years were in the HealthEdGov sector. In fact, financial job growth was nearly nonexistent once we take out the health insurers.

Let me finish with a final chart.

http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/economicsunbound/archives/longjobs4.gif

Without a decade of growing government support from rising health and education spending and soaring budget deficits, the labor market would have been flat on its back.

Indeed, Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich lamented last year

Americas biggest and only major jobs program is the U.S. military.

Back to my essay:

Raw Story argues that the U.S. is building a largely military economy:

The use of the military-industrial complex as a quick, if dubious, way of jump-starting the economy is nothing new, but what is amazing is the divergence between the military economy and the civilian economy, as shown by this New York Times chart.

In the past nine years, non-industrial production in the US has declined by some 19 percent. It took about four years for manufacturing to return to levels seen before the 2001 recession and all those gains were wiped out in the current recession.

By contrast, military manufacturing is now 123 percent greater than it was in 2000 it has more than doubled while the rest of the manufacturing sector has been shrinking

Its important to note the trajectory the military economy is nearly three times as large, proportionally to the rest of the economy, as it was at the beginning of the Bush administration. And it is the only manufacturing sector showing any growth. Extrapolate that trend, and what do you get?

The change in leadership in Washington does not appear to be abating that trend[121]

So most of the job creation has been by the public sector. But because the job creation has been financed with loans from China and private banks, trillions in unnecessary interest charges have been incurred by the U.S.And this shows military versus non-military durable goods shipments:

[Click here to view full image.]

So were running up our debt (which will eventually decrease economic growth), but the only jobs were creating are military and other public sector jobs.

PhD economist Dean Baker points out that Americas massive military spending on unnecessary and unpopular wars lowers economic growth and increasesunemployment:

Defense spending means that the government is pulling away resources from the uses determined by the market and instead using them to buy weapons and supplies and to pay for soldiers and other military personnel. In standard economic models, defense spending is a direct drain on the economy, reducing efficiency, slowing growth and costing jobs.

A few years ago, the Center for Economic and Policy Research commissioned Global Insight, one of the leading economic modeling firms, to project the impact of a sustained increase in defense spending equal to 1.0 percentage point of GDP. This was roughly equal to the cost of the Iraq War.

Global Insights model projected that after 20 years the economy would be about 0.6 percentage points smaller as a result of the additional defense spending. Slower growth would imply a loss of almost 700,000 jobs compared to a situation in which defense spending had not been increased. Construction and manufacturing were especially big job losers in the projections, losing 210,000 and 90,000 jobs, respectively.

The scenario we asked Global Insight [recognized as the most consistentlyaccurate forecasting company in the world] to model turned out to have vastly underestimated the increase in defense spending associated with current policy. In the most recent quarter, defense spending was equal to 5.6 percent of GDP. By comparison, before the September 11th attacks, the Congressional Budget Office projected that defense spending in 2009 would be equal to just 2.4 percent of GDP. Our post-September 11th build-up was equal to 3.2 percentage points of GDP compared to the pre-attack baseline. This means that the Global Insight projections of job loss are far too low

The projected job loss from this increase in defense spending would be close to 2 million. In other words, the standard economic models that project job loss from efforts to stem global warming also project that the increase in defense spending since 2000 will cost the economy close to 2 million jobs in the long run.

The Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst has also shown that non-military spending creates more jobs than military spending.

So were running up our debt which will eventually decrease economic growth and creating many fewer jobs than if we spent the money on non-military purposes.

As I wrote last year:

It is ironic that Americas huge military spending is what made us an empire but our huge military is what is bankrupting us thus destroying our status as an empire.

Even Admiral Mullen seems to agree:

The Pentagon needs to cut back on spending.

Were going to have to do that if its going to survive at all, Mullen said, and do it in a way that is predictable.

Indeed, Mullen said:

For industry and adequate defense funding to survive the two must work together. Otherwise, he added, this wave of debt will carry over from year to year, and eventually, the defense budget will be cut just to facilitate the debt.

Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates agrees as well. As David Ignatius wrote in the Washington Post in May:

After a decade of war and financial crisis, America has run up debts that pose a national security problem, not just an economic one.

***

One of the strongest voices arguing for fiscal responsibility as a national security issue has been Defense Secretary Bob Gates. He gave a landmark speech in Kansas on May 8, invoking President Dwight Eisenhowers warnings about the dangers of an imbalanced military-industrial state.

Eisenhower was wary of seeing his beloved republic turn into a muscle-bound, garrison state militarily strong, but economically stagnant and strategically insolvent, Gates said. He warned that America was in a parlous fiscal condition and that the gusher of military spending that followed Sept. 11, 2001, must be capped. We cant have a strong military if we have a weak economy, Gates told reporters who covered the Kansas speech.

On Thursday the defense secretary reiterated his pitch that Congress must stop shoveling money at the military, telling Pentagon reporters: The defense budget process should no longer be characterized by business as usual within this building or outside of it.

While some might want to start another war, Americas top military leaders and economists say that would be a very bad idea.

Indeed, military strategists have known for 2,500 years that prolonged wars are disastrous.

Note 1: Security experts conservative hawks and liberal doves alike agree that waging war in the Middle East weakens national security and increases terrorism. See thisthisthisthisthisthis and this.

Terrorism in turn terrorism is bad for the economy.  Specifically, a study by Harvard and the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) points out:

From an economic standpoint, terrorism has been described to have four main effects (see, e.g., US Congress, Joint Economic Committee, 2002). First, the capital stock (human and physical) of a country is reduced as a result of terrorist attacks. Second, the terrorist threat induces higher levels of uncertainty. Third, terrorism promotes increases in counter-terrorism expenditures, drawing resources from productive sectors for use in security. Fourth, terrorism is known to affect negatively specific industries such as tourism.

The Harvard/NBER concludes:

In accordance with the predictions of the model, higher levels of terrorist risks are associated with lower levels of net foreign direct investment positions, even after controlling for other types of country risks. On average, a standard deviation increase in the terrorist risk is associated with a fall in the net foreign direct investment position of about 5 percent of GDP.

So the more unnecessary wars American launches and the more innocent civilians we kill, the less foreign investment in America, the more destruction to our capital stock, the higher the level of uncertainty, the more counter-terrorism expenditures and the less expenditures in more productive sectors, and the greater the hit to tourism and some other industries.

Moreover:

Terrorism has contributed to a decline in the global economy (for example, European Commission, 2001).

So military adventurism increases terrorism which hurts the world economy. And see this.

Note 2: True conservatives are anti-war.

Graham Summers’ Weekly Market Forecast (Wake Up Call Edition)  Phoenix Capital... 10/31/2011 The markets flew into this deal based on rumors and short-covering and are now waking up to the plain obvious facts that you cannot solve a debt problem with more debt.  So the financial world has collectively woken up and realized that the latest EU bailout scheme is fraught with problems and loose ends. Amongst the various problems are:

1)   The Greek private bondholders are furious that the ECB isn’t taking a haircut on its bonds too.

2)   German courts and voters aren’t too pleased with Merkel’s decision to go “all in” on the Euro experiment.

3)   The Greek default isn’t nearly large enough to render Greece solvent again

4)   The default has set a precedent for the other PIIGS countries to follow

5)   The CDS/ derivative issue regarding Greece’s default is not over by any stretch

6)   The entire EU banking system remains far too leveraged (26 to 1) and needs another $1.5+ trillion in capital at the minimum.

The markets flew into this deal based on rumors and short-covering and are now waking up to the plain obvious facts that you cannot solve a debt problem with more debt. Also, it might be worth considering just where the EFSF bailout money will be coming from when various EU members can’t even stage successful bond auctions without the ECB stepping in.

Again, the primary issue for the EU is a lack of capital. There is TOO MUCH debt there. And issuing more debt, no matter how cheap, is not going to help. Especially when your strongest member (Germany) sports a REAL debt to GDP above 200% and hasn’t recapitalized its banks.

So the EU will be crumbling in the coming weeks. This was the final hurrah for the EU and the Euro in its current form. On that note, the Euro was rejected at resistance at 142 and has already taken out support at 140.

Once we take out 139, look for this breakdown to pick up steam (pulling stocks with it).

http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user20289/imageroot/2011/10/sc-5.png  

Indeed, the financial world is talking about how this was the biggest move in stocks since 1974. Unfortunately, few remember that after that move in 1974, the markets cratered.

Some thoughts on stocks… isn’t it a little strange that the market fell exactly 20% (the “official” bear market level) before kicking off the biggest ramp job in 30 years? How about the fact that this move came for no real reason other than rumors of another bailout (what are we on #3 for this?).

Can this move really be attributed to Euro choosing to let Greece default (which is what happened in reality)?

http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user20289/imageroot/2011/10/sc-7.png

Regardless, stocks were deflected from resistance at 1,275 or so. They’re now on their way down again. The market is extremely overbought and susceptible to a fast violent move downwards.

Indeed, the credit markets remain jammed up and are anticipating even more haircuts from Greece. And the rest of the PIIGS will be following suit in the default game.

Ignore stocks, they’re ALWAYS the last to “get it.” The credit markets are jamming up just like they did in 2008. The banking system is flashing all the same signals as well.

So if you have not already taken steps to prepare for systemic failure, you NEED to do so NOW. We're literally at most a few months, and very likely just a few weeks from Europe's banks imploding.

What happened in 2008 was literally just the warm up. The REAL DEAL is coming in the next 14 months. And it’s going to involve corporate, financial, and sovereign defaults…’

Why Last Week's Euro Fix Won't Do the Trick ETFguide Simon Maierhofer, On Monday October 31, 2011, ‘The S&P (SNP: ^GSPC) surged over 3% last Thursday. Why? In a financial episode that starts to look more and more like the 1993 movie Groundhog Day, European leaders once again received credit for engineering this rally.

More specifically, the euro-zones three-pronged approach to fix the debt crisis was viewed by the market as the cure to all problems.

However, a closer look at the Brussels salvation plan reveals nothing but flaws. So why did stocks rally and will the rally last?

3 Steps to Save Europe

Here's the plan outlined by European leaders last Thursday:

1) Private investors agree to a 50% haircut on their Greek bond holdings.

2) The European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) will be increased to $1.4 trillion.

3) European banks need to bring their Tier 1 capital ratios up to 9%.

3 Problems of the 3 Steps to Save Europe

1) Private sector creditors such as insurers, banks, and funds are expected to take losses of about $140 billion on Greek bonds. To protect against such losses, large institutions tend to buy credit default swaps (CDS). CDS act like insurance.

However, since Greece did not technically default, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) is unlikely to consider the restructuring an event that will trigger CDS payouts.

In other words, CDS (the insurance policy of choice for financial conglomerates) won't pay. This could lead to an implosion of the sovereign CDS market. This in turn would severely reduce demand for government bonds. Who wants to buy risky bonds knowing that the 'insurance company' won't pay?

2) The EFSF was funded with about $616 billion. About $266 billion have already been spent or earmarked; so about $350 billion remain to be spent. Who will contribute the $1.05 trillion to attain the targeted $1.4 trillion? Nobody.

The remaining $350 billion will be leveraged 4-5 times to produce the $1.4 trillion leveraged figure. Leveraged how? This has yet to be determined.

3) European banks - along with U.S. banks (NYSEArca: KBE - News) and financial institutions (NYSEArca: XLF - News) are already cash strapped. Bringing up their Tier 1 capital ratio will probably turn into a financial engineering exercise as raising actual cash - especially in Europe - is difficult…’

Europe Will Make Lehman Look Like a Joke   http://gainspainscapital.com/?p=1010  Summers 10-28-11   So now that one day has passed and weve seen a ridiculous 3% move in stocks based on a bailout that is nothing short of moronic (Greece is still insolvent and didnt take a big enough default), the financial world is actually asking itself questions such as:

Does giving a bankrupt nation more money right after it defaults a good idea?

Does requiring an additional $100+ billion in capital for banks that need north of $1.77 trillion in new capital really accomplish anything?

Do bailouts involving more leverage and debt work when the entire banking system is insolvent?

 

 

 

 

 

Is It Foolish to Get Excited About the Latest Deal to Save Europe? ETFguide    http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Is-It-Foolish-to-Get-Excited-etfguide-2444921710.html?x=0&.v=1   Simon Maierhofer, On Thursday October 27, 2011 ‘Before you get excited about the last minute Euro-Deal, consider this:

Wall Street has been dancing to Greece's (and by extension Europe's) whistle. If Greece says 'jump,' Wall Street jumps, if Greece says 'Sorry, false alarm,' Wall Street cries.

This sorry dance has been going on for nearly two years. Like an endless loop of chicken dance, this may be fun at first (about 2 minutes) but gets old real fast. If you are tired of Wall Street's 'chicken dance coverage' and want to know what's really going on and how to make money (or protect your assets), here's a no nonsense assessment of Europe.

Greece - Fool Me Once ...

Fool me once, shame on Greece, fool me twice, shame on me. Greece has been the scapegoat for every major sell off and catalyst for most rallies and dead dog bounces since January 2010.

Shame on you if you think everything's going to be hunky-dory just because Greece and/or its European pretend-to-be saviors announce another plan to come up with a plan.

The Problem

Here's the problem: Greece is broke and Greece has no significant revenue sources to pay off its debt. Foreign investors own about $385 billion worth of Greek government debt.

Many banks and governments that own Greek debt are at the brink of insolvency already, so Greece's inability to pay its debt may push other countries and their banks into a Greece-like position (that's called contagion).

Misleading Information

You can't trust statements from European officials because they are trying to prevent panic. Panic will make any kind of solutions more expensive and more difficult to execute.

Luxembourg's Prime Minister (also Chairman of regular eurozone meetings) blatantly admitted that: 'When it becomes serious, you have to lie.'

Obviously no political leader wants the eurozone to fall apart on their watch, so they pretend and extend and kick the can down the road far enough for it become someone else's problem (someone else will inevitably include rosy-eyed investors).

This postpones the inevitable, but the portfolios of investors who are faithful enough to trust such assessments suffer a death of thousand cuts. Just imagine where your portfolio would be if you sold everything when Greece first announced it had some 'minor' fiscal problems. Like tearing a bandage off a hairy leg, slower is more painful.

You also can't trust the media because they profit from sensationalist headlines, not sound investment advice. If that means they have to spoon-feed a consistent diet of 'Stocks bounce on hopes for a Europe fix' followed by 'Stocks plummet on fears over Europe,' then that's what they'll do. Fortunately we can choose not to partake from the junk food dished out by the media.

On a different note, have you noticed how bad news (such as downgrades) is reported after the close (particularly Fridays), while good news (or even just good rumors) are reported while the markets are open.

The (Only?) Plan

Let's just be realistic and just admit that Greece is as good as bankrupt. The country just doesn't have enough income to pay its debt load and keep the country functioning properly without outside financial support.

Eventually Greece's saviors will realize that this is a leaky bucket-like money pit. A sudden and unprepared Greek bankruptcy would shatter the eurozone unless Greece is quarantined first. The goal here would be to sequester ripple effects that would cripple Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Spain and whoever else is hiding in the closet.

Doing this wouldn't be cheap. To prepare for a such a quarantine (which is a more diplomatic term than ejection) from the eurozone, Europe (via the EFSF) would have to prepare and fund a fund that can pay for:

1) Defaulting Greek government debt

Doomed if You Do, Doomed if You Don't

I don't think it matters much, because the above plan doesn't take into account human emotions, panic, in particular. European banks' deposits at the European Central Bank (ECB) have already mushroomed. This means that already one bank doesn't trust another bank with their money.

The combination of liquidity drying up and assets imploding is a lethal one. What about those saying 'Things aren't that bad.'

Just consider Dexia. Dexia pased the European bank stress test with flying colors but still had to be rescued. Dexia is supposed to be rescued partially by the country of Belgium, but Belgium's national debt is already 100% of GDP. Depending on Dexia's actual losses, Belgium's national debt may soar to 120% of GDP just by having to bail out one bank. Do you know how many banks there are in Europe?

How To Make (or Protect Your) Money

The ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter doesn't specialize on European coverage, but it's provided some much needed common sense. On March 18, 2010 it stated that: 'Until now financial problems in various European countries have been minimized and swept under the carpet. The sub-prime crisis took more than a few weeks to rattle Wall Street. Chances are the investing world will need a bit more time to catch on to what really is happening with sovereign debt overseas.'

On July 17, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter recommended to short the iShares MSCI EAFE and iShares MSCI Emerging Markets (NYSEArca: EEM - News). Over the next couple weeks, EFA lost 22% and EEM 39%.

Under the headline 'Prepare for Bottom Fishing,' the newsletter recommended on September 23 to prepare for a market bottom and stated that: 'European stock market may get some relief over the next weeks/month. The same is true for EFA and EEM. Those markets are temperamental and will therefore bounce higher than U.S. stocks when the rally materializes. Aggressive investors may add some European/emerging or BRIC market exposure to their portfolio once we start buying U.S. stocks.'

We bought U.S. stocks on October 4 at S&P 1,088. The October 2 ETF Profit Strategy update outlined the ideal market bottom as follows: 'The ideal market bottom would see the S&P dip below 1,088 intraday followed by a strong recovery and a close above 1,088' and recommended to buy as soon as the S&P moved back above 1,088.

The The October 14 ETF Profit Strategy update stated the following price target: 'The S&P should rally to 1,255 - 1,xxx (reserved for subscribers).

The S&P (SNP: ^GSPC), Dow Jones (DJI: ^DJI) and Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC) are up well over 17%, the VIX (Chicago Options: ^VIX) down over 80% since. The Vanguard MSCI Europe ETF (NYSEArca: VGK - News) is up nearly 30% while Wall Street is scratching its head over what just happened. How could the S&P soar 200 points in three weeks?

What's Next?

It would be naive to get excited about the latest euro news. 'Once burnt twice shy' wouldn't be a bad approach now and long positions should be kept on a tight leash. Sentiment and seasonality suggest higher prices, however technicals are in topping mode.

Today's intraday ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter update provides detailed recommendations on how to navigate this market constellation along with an out-of-the box analysis and actionable ETF profit strategies.

The Greek Deal Accomplishes Nothing Systemic Risk is Coming   http://gainspainscapital.com October 27th, 2011 The markets are exploding higher this morning on news of the expanded Euro Bailout. The numbers at the moment are

A 50% haircut for private Greek bondholders

European banks have eight months to raise about $147 billion in capital

An expansion of the European Financial Stability facility to $1.3 trillion.

First off, lets call this for what it is: a default on the part of Greece. Moreover its a default that isnt big enough as a 50% haircut on private debt holders only lowers Greeces total debt level by 22% or so.

Secondly, even after the haircut, Greece still has Debt to GDP levels north of 130%. And its expected to bring these levels to 120% by 2020.

And the IMF is giving Greece another $137 billion in loans.

So Greece defaults but gets $137 billion in new money (roughly what the default will wipe out) and is expected to still be insolvent in 2020.

Forgetting that any and all official estimates for Greeces financial condition have been off by a mile, not to mention that Greece still hasnt paid back its first round of bailout funds, this move is nothing short of moronic.

The reasons are:

The default is not big enough (I expect Greek bondholders to get 20-30 cents back on the Dollar at best in the future)

It accomplishes nothing of significance (Greece is still broke), and…

It will trigger a credit event and has the makings of systemic risk.

Lets put some of the other numbers from this deal into perspective. According to the agreement, European banks are supposed to raise $147 billion in new capital by June.

Well, German banks alone need to raise $173 billion in new capital. So this new capital requirement from the deal is pointless.

Indeed, the European banking system as a whole is insolvent.

With OVER $46 trillion in assets outstanding, European banks would need to raise $1.77 TRILLION in capital to bring their leverage levels down to 13 to 1.

Yes $1.7 TRILLION

Now you see why the extra $147 billion in new capital is pointless. Its like pouring a bucket of water into a desert and expecting it to sprout a jungle.

Folks, lets get honest here. This deal accomplishes nothing. Its just more kicking the can to avoid the reality. The reality is that the entire European Banking system is leveraged at near Lehman Brothers levels. And European banks need to roll over between 15-50% of their total debt (depending on which country theyre in) by the end of 2012. The credit markets know this, which is why theyre predicting more Greece haircuts in the future. Its also why IMF has decided to lend Greece another $137 billion right as the country defaults.

Ignore this latest pop in stocks and the Euro. This mess isnt over not by a long shot. And before the smoke clears, much of Euro will be in default/ banking collapses.

So if you have not already taken steps to prepare for systemic failure, you NEED to do so NOW. Were literally at most a few months, and very likely just a few weeks from Europes banks imploding…’

Inflation, Jobs, and the Artificial Flow of Monetary Policy  Minyanville Atlantic Capital Management Oct 27, 2011 [ This is an incisively astute analysis of the currently hailed but doomed to be failed strategy now underway! ]  While the stock market (SPY) (QQQ) continues to pin its hopes on a successful European monetary device in some esoteric but mildly believable format, complete with willful leveraging, the economic consequences of such monetary “solutions” continue to indicate the predictable results of so much intervention in every part of the global economy.  Mainstream economics may still regard the Phillips Curve with fondness, believing that there is a direct, inverse relationship between unemployment and inflation, but the empirical economic history shows that it is a flawed line of thinking that always leads to the opposite result of what was intended.
 
If your base economic theory posited that an increase in expectations of inflation would decrease the rate of unemployment, you would not think twice about using inflation expectations as a blunt instrument to combat joblessness. That is what the Federal Reserve has done since 2008, first with its zero
interest rate policy (ZIRP) and then two scaled programs of quantitative easing (QE).  While ZIRP and the first QE were specifically designed to bail out the ailing banking system, the “side effect” on inflation expectations was an added bonus for a central bank still deathly afraid of the smallest hint of deflation.
 
The second QE, “announced” in August 2010, was calculated specifically to increase inflation expectations.  Between that announcement and its actual implementation in November 2010, the Fed ramped up its PR initiatives with the expressed aim of convincing the public that the Fed knew what it was doing.  It fully believed(s) that inflation expectations – even increasing oil prices (see Federal Reserve Board’s Research Paper “Oil Shocks and the Zero Bound on Nominal Interest Rates” published in September 2010) – were economically beneficial, and, most importantly, that should inflation begin to get out of hand, as it had done in the 1970s, it could be turned off in “15 minutes.” Certainly central banks have a very good idea of what their simple models (even those that are formed by more than two elemental variables) of the real world may predict, but an utterly complex and human system rarely conforms to any static statistical distributions, leaving the practitioners of such academic simplification often unprepared for “unexpected” and “unintended” results.
 
The abstract dangers to such a program of intentional inflation, carried out directly through dollar devaluation, were accepted because the program would, without a mathematical doubt in the two-variable paradigm of modern economics, generate increasing
employment.  Although the theory of the Phillips Curve would have to be put into practice through some very unconventional means, there has been little doubt expressed by policymakers that the economy would not be “saved” by all these monetary machinations.
 
However, the theoretical notions of inflation psychology, especially expressed through energy prices, simply did not live up to those Fed-designed mathematical predictions. Unfortunately, the Fed was very successful in creating inflation expectations (commodity prices were elevated as early as November 2010 when QE 2.0 got under way, and had almost reached 2008 levels by February 2011), but no sustained
job growth followed. 
 
It was not as if the principle intended economic effects failed to materialize. The primary vehicle to carry forward job growth out of inflation expectations is inventory production.  Manufacturing, wholesale and retail operations (the supply chain) all accumulate inventory based on cost expectations for the near future.  Any increase in commodity prices triggers the accumulation urge, especially in an environment where businesses are fairly uncertain of their ability to pass on additional costs to the next level in the supply chain (or ultimately end users). 
 
That is exactly what we have seen during this recovery period – one increasingly led by a historic inventory accumulation (though it is fair to say that the initial inventory buildup occurred because of the large-scale depletion of inventory stocks during the 2008/09 collapse).  The October 2011 durable goods release showed a
record level of inventory accumulation in the manufacturing sector.  While that overall report seemed to indicate better conditions than recently feared, shipments of manufactured durable goods actually fell by 0.7% in the month.
 
The day before the durable goods report, the Conference Board’s estimation of consumer confidence fell all the way to 39.8 – a level not seen since
May 2009 .  The current conditions component of that survey dropped to an unthinkably low 26.3 (a level reserved for economies in the midst of contraction).  Not surprisingly, one-year inflation expectations remained elevated at 5.8%, combining the lack of job growth with those Fed-inspired prices to once again call into question any real-world notion of a Phillips Curve-like dynamic.
 
The Fed succeeded in stoking expectations, elongating the inventory cycle, and then combined the worst aspects of inflation with a lack of success in the labor market.  Where did it all go wrong?
 
Perhaps the economic orthodoxy of the Federal Reserve and mainstream economics is simply outdated.  The Phillips Curve was questionable even in the 1970s, when inventory cycles moved the whole of the economy.  In 2011, however, manufacturing has so much less of an impact on employment since its proportion of the overall jobs market has been greatly reduced. 
 
The reduction in the importance of manufacturing itself is a product of dollar devaluation, now heading into its twelfth year.  So any marginal increase in inventory activity spurred manufacturing levels more in China than domestically.  The increase in inventory levels from domestic sources has been at the wholesale and retail levels, leading to the “part time” recovery, where low-level service jobs have been disproportionately high. 
 
The counterweight to that “open” economy dynamic is supposed to be an increase in domestic exports to offset the
trade imbalance (it is not coincidence that the current administration was explicitly and publicly aiming to “double” exports within five years).  But the US has developed a system of recycling trade money into various forms of asset claims, whereby the sustained trade imbalance and current account deficit is simply maintained through asset prices and debt issuance.
 
During the last decade imported goods filled almost the entirety of marginal consumption, meaning US dollars flowed overseas in abundance (hundreds of billions a year).  If those dollars had been returned in reciprocal, bilateral trade, there would be no issue.  Instead, those trade dollars were repatriated largely by foreign central banks as official reserves being invested in US government debt – especially debt issued by the government-sponsored enterprises Fannie and Freddie.  In other words, this structural trade imbalance was one of the
primary drivers of the housing bubble .  Even private sector inflows of repatriated dollars tended to end up in some form of government debt, rather than the more beneficial direct investment.
 
To close the loop of monetary flow to consumers (remember that an economy is supposed to be a system of sustained and broadening monetary flow), the recycled trade dollars flowing into GSE debt helped push up the price of real estate, allowing households to finance consumption through debt-based housing equity withdrawals rather than wage or earned income that would have come from a true bilateral trade regime. 

The service economy that grew in response to this artificial loop was dangerously dependent on the continued success of the financial economy and its continued leakage into the real economy through housing. This encompasses a whole range of industries, from finance, real estate and insurance, to business services and even construction.  These sector job markets grew as the backbone of what little wage growth did occur in the last decade, but they were completely dependent on the artificial and indirect flow of money into prices (the wealth effect).  Without revisiting the price dynamics of the period, these artificial engines of unsustainable growth cannot repeat their success in 2011.
 
A sustainable system of economic flow, even in an open environment, would have seen trade dollars returned to the US as demand for US-produced goods (where US workers would have been hired to produce them, closing the trade loop back into earned income).  However, monetary urges within the Fed to desperately counteract the potential deflationary consequences of the bursting tech bubble made the system a willing participant in the artificial, marginal debt trade system.  The Fed, abandoning its role as money supply officiant, gladly accepted the system as it was since it coincided exactly with its monetary policy
s short-term goals of avoiding having to pay the piper of the dot-com fiasco.
 
When the housing bubble finally collapsed, starting in 2006, the loop of economic flow of trade dollars back to consumers through home equity was broken, slowly at first.  It is not coincidence that corporate profitability began to decline and marginal economic expansion began to slow in the middle of 2006.  It has not been since repaired, as marginal consumption still annoyingly flows overseas.  Worse, though, marginal production that does remain domestically is acutely susceptible to the rising input costs of dollar devaluation, disproportionately impacting smaller businesses. 
 
So the current economy has no solution to recycle the marginal trade dollars back to households (it currently flows into
regular US government debt, which does see some money get to households in the form of transfers such as unemployment insurance and food stamps, but far more simply finances the ongoing deficit).  On top of that, the rest of the economy is unable to simply absorb the cost increases that come with intentionally creating inflation expectations.  The first part of the Phillips Curve plan (inflation) worked without kicking off the second (reduced unemployment), where half a success really is a whole failure. 
 
Without a sustained and intentional effort to remove incentives to produce overseas, the trade imbalance will continue to be a drag on marginal economic flow.  Further, without finding a way to close the loop of marginal flows through import production, even artificially through another asset bubble, the inflation expectations that are created will just be a further drag without any chance for a positive offset.
 
So companies like
Google (GOOG) and Apple (AAPL) can still do relatively well in their bottom lines, but unless they begin to commit a large portion of their built-up cash balances for some kind of domestic capex program, they do not really enhance the wider economic prospects of marginal beneficial flow through wages.  Companies like Caterpillar (CAT) are at least investing in capex, but so much of their positive results flow from the trade imbalance and dollar devaluation dynamic that it makes little sense for them to do it domestically (outside of the gratuitous stock buyback program that does nothing for employment). 
 
The monetary system of incentives built up by ZIRP (which would recycle money into the hands of savers to spend, but is instead a tax on them in favor of rebuilding bank equity) and QEs is exactly the opposite of what is needed.  Instead of promoting incentives for companies that are doing well to expand production overseas, or to use their growing stockpiles of cash resources on financial engineering instead of actual engineering, the economic system needs to repair itself through less artificial and more sustainable avenues.  Unemployment can remain high right alongside inflation if there is no closed marginal loop of monetary flow from businesses to households/consumers and back to businesses.  What really matters is the path that marginal dollars take in fostering actual economic activity.
 
At the very least, the Fed should try not to make things worse by pushing inflation expectations in the first place without a better idea of exactly how to recreate a healthy system of monetary flow primarily through wages.  But that would require them to not only re-examine the Phillips Curve, but also their misguided commitment to the ephemeral
wealth effect.  After all, rising artificial asset prices is just another form of inflation, something we have had enough of through these last two historic asset bubbles.

A Dysfunctional System That Bankrupts A Generation Wolf Richter | At fault is the system itself.

 

Daves Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  The good news is theres a plan. The bad news is we dont really have the details pinned down as noted HERE. More good news is this stock market rally, should it hold Monday, will mark the largest in the last quarter century if records make for good news. Make of it what you will but shorts have been squeezed out of whatever positions they maintained. That might in itself be bad news. The pressure to make a deal was very high. After all, if the banks didnt (and still havent actually) accepted a voluntary restructuring of Greek debt, the an involuntary event would mean default. This would in turn trigger CDS (Credit Default Swaps) activity which counter-parties probably could not pay. Contagion would burn through the financial system creating chaos. This is why the FT article from above is so interesting and worrisome.Where will the firepower come from to push stock markets higher given the high rate of equity fund redemptions over the past three years? The last I checked equity mutual fund cash balances were only 3.4%). No, juice for bulls will come from private investors with managed funds switching from bonds to stocks. The other source for buying is from the usual suspectshedge funds, trading desks and HFTs.Bonds did sell-off as switching to equities and more risk was apparent. On the other hand, commodities rallied as authorities have chosen inflation (no surprise here) over deflation. Its easier to do politically if you dont care about succeeding generations. Gold, silver, base metals, energy and most commodities rose sharply as a result. You want to pay more for stuff dont you? Thats the trade-off when pursuing Keynesian policies and big government.Economic data Thursday was shrugged-off as the two problem areas Jobless Claims (still over 400K) and Pending Home Sales (-4.6% vs unchanged expected) continued to struggle. GDP data was reported at 2.5% growth matching expectations and vs 1.3% previous. Most of the growth there was from consumer spending the bulk of which was in the computer category (iGadgets?).Meanwhile, Bloombergs Personal Consumer Consumption vs Confidence clearly displays the disconnect between the two:

But such swinging cuts are also dependent on almost all Greek bondholders agreeing to participate in the plan. Unlike the July deal, which set a target at 90 per cent participation, Thursday’s plan includes no such target. In addition, by taking such big up-front haircuts, European officials threaten the very solvency of the largest single holders of Greek debt – Greek banks, which hold about €50bn in sovereign Greek bonds. A senior EU official said €30bn of the new €130bn rescue package must go to bailing out Greek banks – a €10bn increase from July…’

Operation Twist Does Nothing for the Real Economy Minyanville 

 

 

 

Parallels to The Great Depression Suggest Higher Prices Followed by a Bust ETFguide Simon Maierhofer, October 25, 2011 ‘They say everything is bigger and better in Texas. Simon says, everything is bigger and 'badder' (as in worse) on Wall Street today, than 85 years ago.

Despite all the parallels that exist between today and the Great Depression, there is one factor that just doesn't match up - time. The Great (post-2007) Recession has already lasted longer than the 1929 - 1932 market meltdown.

If you focus merely on elapsed time, you can reach two conclusions:

1) Either there is no parallel, or the 2007 bear market is over.

2) The 2007 bear market will be more intense and last longer than the 1929 - 1932 parallel.

A look at the pattern and shape of the post-1929 and post-2007 declines along with the sentiment that accompanied major events within both periods, suggest that we are in a monster version of the Great Depression with the next leg down not too far away.

It Can't Happen Again - Think Again

I've often heard that the Great Depression can't happen again because we are no longer on the gold (NYSEArca: GLD - News) standard. The absence of the gold standard now allows the Federal Reserve to print their way out of any recession.

That is true; the Fed can now print unlimited amounts of money. However, the non-existent gold standard is a double-edged sword. Just as it enables the Fed to print money (which the Fed has done for decades), it has enabled a massive leveraged bubble.

It's this unbridled (by the gold standard) leveraged frenzy that created a huge financial (NYSEArca: XLF - News) leverage bubble. The Federal Reserve attempted to fix the bubble's consequences with a new bubble, the QE2 bubble.

Regarding the QE2 bubble, the May ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter stated that: 'The Fed is fueling a new bubble to combat the damage left behind by the previous one. Once punctured, bubbles tend to deflate quickly.' Deflate it did. The S&P lost 296 points from the May 2 high to the October 4 low. The 'liberty' of an unbridled currency did not prevent the decline.

Sentiment Parallels

Here's where the parallels between the Great Depression stock market meltdown and the post-2007 decline become interesting.

Both declines saw an initial leg down followed by the mother of all counter trend rallies. The 1929/30 counter trend rally lasted a little more than five months and retraced 62% of the previous decline. The 2009-11 counter trend rally retraced 86% of the previous decline (based on the Dow Jones Industrial Average).

Here are some newspaper headlines that appeared in April 1930 towards the end of the biggest sucker rally, so far:

'The outlook is favorable' - Harvard Economic Society

'The depression is over' - Herbert Hoover

'There is nothing in the situation to be disturbed about' Andrew Mellon, Treasury Secretary

'Wall Street was in a cheerful frame of mind as a result of numerous vague reports of improvements in business and industry' - Wall Street Journal

Following this brief flash of confidence, the Dow tumbled 10% within two and a half months. Interestingly, this second major leg of the bear market kicked off in April.

Fast-forward 81 years to April 2011 and we read the following headlines:

'Global economy is improving' - GE CEO Immelt

'Sales growth the biggest surprise on Wall Street' - Wall Street Journal

'Equities finally seeing light on the economy' - MarketWatch

Just when Wall Street thought the bear market was over, the S&P (SNP: ^GSPC) delivered a six month, 20% drop. The Dow (DJI: ^DJI), Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC), and Russell 2000 (Chicago Options: ^RUT) followed suit.

Technical Similarities

The chart below compares the Dow's performance of 1928 - 32 to that of 2007 - 11. It took a break below trend lines in 1929 and 1930 to kick off powerful declines.

Guess Who’s Even More Leveraged Than the European Banks?  Phoenix Capital... : 10/25/2011  ‘The US banking system as a whole is leveraged at 13-to-1. While this is not horrible relative to Europe’s banking system (more on this in a moment), these levels still mean that an 8% drop in asset...While the world is awash in liquidity, no one seems to notice that it’s actually in the form of leverage or cheap debt, NOT real capital or equity.The US banking system as a whole is leveraged at 13-to-1. While this is not horrible relative to Europe’s banking system (more on this in a moment), these levels still mean that an 8% drop in asset values wipes out ALL equity.

Then you have Europe’s banking system, which is leveraged at 26-to-1. Anecdotally, this is borderline Lehman Brothers (30 to 1). At these levels, even a 4% drop in asset prices wipes out ALL equity.

Japan’s banks are leveraged at 23 to 1. France’s are 26 to 1. Germany is 32 to 1.

You get the idea.

However, worse than any of these the US Federal Reserve. With $2.8 trillion in assets and only $52 billion in capital, the Fed is leveraged at 53 to 1. Yes, 53 to 1.

My question is: if the Fed prints money for itself… is it “raising capital?” More to the point… if that was true why doesn’t the Fed do it? Why maintain these leverage levels?Only Bernanke can know… but the rest of us should feel a very serious shudder when we consider that THE bank that’s supposed to bailout the world/ fix the problems plaguing the financial system, is in fact even more leveraged that most of the institutions it’s helping.

Yes, stocks are rallying now based on the view that more QE 3 or monetary easing is on the way… but they’re missing the BIG picture here.

The BIG picture is that there is far too much debt in the financial system. Europe’s getting taken to the cleaners today… but these very same issues are going to spread to Japan and the US in short order. Even China, which is considered THE creditor nation of the world, is estimated to post a REAL Debt to GDP ratio of 200%.

Yes, 200%. China.

So the idea that somehow the world’s going to pass through this current chapter in its history without some MAJOR fireworks/ systemic failure, seems a little too optimistic.Folks, something VERY bad is brewing behind the scenes. The Sarkozy- Merkel talks, the short-selling bans, the halted stocks, the leveraged EFSF, the hints of QE 3, all of this is telling us that the financial system is on DEFCON 1 Red Alert. Ignore stocks, they’re ALWAYS the last to “get it.” The credit markets are jamming up just like they did in 2008. The banking system is flashing all the same signals as well. So if you have not already taken steps to prepare for systemic failure, you NEED to do so NOW. We're literally at most a few months, and very likely just a few weeks from Europe's banks imploding.

On that note, if you’re looking for specific ideas to profit from this mess, my Surviving a Crisis Four Times Worse Than 2008 report can show you how to turn the unfolding disaster into a time of gains and profits for any investor.Within its nine pages I explain precisely how the Second Round of the Crisis will unfold, where it will hit hardest, and the best means of profiting from it (the very investments my clients used to make triple digit returns in 2008).Best of all, this report is 100% FREE.

ECRI Recession Watch: Growth Index Drops Further   http://advisorperspectives.com/dshort/updates/ECRI-Weekly-Leading-Index.php Doug Short 10-21-11 The Weekly Leading Index (WLI) growth indicator of the Economic Cycle Research Institute (ECRI) has now posted 11 consecutive declines since early August. The interim high of 8.0 was set in the week ending on April 15. The latest reading, data through October 14, is -10.1, down from the previous week's -9.7.

On September 30th, the ECRI publicly announced that the U.S. is tipping into a recession, a call the Institute had announced to its private clients on September 21st.

Early last week, ECRI notified clients that the U.S. economy is indeed tipping into a new recession. And there's nothing that policy makers can do to head it off.

ECRI's recession call isn't based on just one or two leading indexes, but on dozens of specialized leading indexes, including the U.S. Long Leading Index, which was the first to turn down — before the Arab Spring and Japanese earthquake — to be followed by downturns in the Weekly Leading Index and other shorter-leading indexes. In fact, the most reliable forward-looking indicators are now collectively behaving as they did on the cusp of full-blown recessions, not "soft landings." Read the report here.

For a close look at this movement of this index in recent months, here's a snapshot of the data since 2000.

 

http://advisorperspectives.com/dshort/charts/indicators/ECRI-WLI-growth-since-2000.gif
Click for a larger image

 

Now let's step back and examine the complete series available to the public, which dates from 1967. The ECRI WLI growth metric has had a respectable record for forecasting recessions and rebounds therefrom. The next chart shows the correlation between the WLI, GDP and recessions.

 

http://advisorperspectives.com/dshort/charts/indicators/ECRI-WLI-growth-since-1965.gif
Click for a larger image

 

A significant decline in the WLI has been a leading indicator for six of the seven recessions since the 1960s. It lagged one recession (1981-1982) by nine weeks. The WLI did turned negative 17 times when no recession followed, but 14 of those declines were only slightly negative (-0.1 to -2.4) and most of them reversed after relatively brief periods.

Three other three negatives were deeper declines. The Crash of 1987 took the Index negative for 34 weeks with a trough of -6.8. The Financial Crisis of 1998, which included the collapse of Long Term Capital Management, took the Index negative for 23 weeks with a trough of -4.5.

The third significant negative came near the bottom of the bear market of 2000-2002, about nine months after the brief recession of 2001. At the time, the WLI seemed to be signaling a double-dip recession, but the economy and market accelerated in tandem in the spring of 2003, and a recession was avoided.

The question had been whether the WLI decline that began in Q4 of 2009 was a leading indicator of a recession. The published index has never dropped to the -11.0 level in July 2010 without the onset of a recession. The deepest decline without a recession onset was in the Crash of 1987, when the index slipped to -6.8. The ECRI managing director correctly predicted that we would avoid a double dip. The eight quarters of positive GDP since the end of the last recession supports the ECRI stance.

The Certainty and Dramatic Language of ECRI's New Recession Call

What is particularly striking about the ECRI's current recession call is the fervor and certainty of the language in the public press release:

"Here's what ECRI's recession call really says: if you think this is a bad economy, you haven’t seen anything yet. And that has profound implications for both Main Street and Wall Street."

I remain astonished at the complete absence of wiggle room in the announcement, nor have I seen any public communications from the ECRI to qualify or soften its recession call. ECRI has put its credibility on the line. If the U.S. avoids a recession, ECRI's reputation will be permanently damaged.

The WLI Versus Other Macroeconomic Indicators

For additional perspective on the performance of this indicator, see Comparing the ECRI Weekly Leading Index with Two Key Competitors, which highlights the curious behavior of the WLI following the 2008 Financial Crisis. The chart below is an overlay of the three since 2000. Note: I have divided the ECRI WLI by 10 to display on a single vertical axis with the other two indicators.

 

http://advisorperspectives.com/dshort/charts/indicators/ADS-CFNAI-WLI-overlay-since-2000.gif
Click for a larger image

 

The ECRI Weekly Leading Index appears to be more sensitive to upturns than either the Philly Fed's ADS Business Conditions Index (ADS) or the Chicago Fed's Current Activity Index. In fact, it has oscillated in a pronounced fashion since the 2009 recession trough:

Its peak in 2009, interim low in 2010 (which the Institute firmly stated was not a recession signal),

the interim high in April 2011,

and the current reading, which the Institute has identified as a recession flag.

The ECRI Weekly Leading Index will be fascinating to watch in the months to come. On Monday of next week we will have an opportunity to see if the Chicago Fed's National Activity Index is beginning to support the ECRI call. And on Thursday we will have the Advance Report on Q3 GDP.

The two graphs display action towards the close of trading Friday. The upper graph shows action of algos per second while the bottom the number of HFT quotes per second over a three minute time period with colors for each exchange. The lower graph displayed nearly 300 quotes per secondgot that? Perhaps only a small fraction of these are real trades with the others being just bids and offers designed to stimulate program trading algorithms. This is posted because nearly 70% of all volume and trades on the NYSE for example are program trades with HFTs now dominant. The above comes courtesy of HFT Alert which is a program investors may purchase to monitor this activity. Their homepage is HERE and well be doing a two part video podcast with them next week which should explain how all this works, why you should care and perhaps how you can use it. HFT action may be away from the news of the day so lets get to it. Stocks rallied sharply marking three straight weeks of gains. Much of the gains stemmed from earnings, hopes for a euro fix and late comments from Janet Yellen. Earnings news continued to flow Friday with good results from fast food outlets McDonalds (MCD) which was helped by stronger sales in Europe boosted by the euro and Chipotle (CMG) whose stock soared 8%.  I guess fast food is the big deal now which strikes me as an odd reason to rally stocks overall. Perhaps people find it cheaper to buy and eat junk food than cook in their McMansions. Mostly panned were earnings from General Electric (GE) as their core utility business had slowed and Microsoft (MSFT) which seems just a utility-like company. But, strong earnings and stock price gains were reported from some tech companies like SanDisk (SNDK), Altera (ALTR) and Seagate (STX). European optimism sprang from hopes the EU would save itself if for no other reason than because it must. The weekend features serious meetings to structure a working plan (againsigh) which were told should lead to a vote on Wednesday. There are enough stories and rumors that are positive and negative. Even the most positive rumor leaves a fix with a $1 trillion shortfall. Will the IMF and U.S. fill the void? Good grief!! Late in the trading day the Fed threw more gas on the bulls fire with Fed Vice-Chairman Janet Yellen discussing the possibilities of QE3 if the economy doesnt perk-up. This would be controversial while reinforcing how all-in the Fed is with its Keynesian policies. Its that if at first you dont succeed, try, try, and tryagain policy since they have nothing else. QE2 accomplished what? A phony stock market rally which pleased the Fed but once ended reality hit home as the safety net was removed. Gold rallied to recover most of the losses from previous sessions as the dollar weakened once again in anticipation of an EU fix. The Japanese yen rose to record high and the BOJ wont like this one bit. As stocks rose naturally bonds fell and commodity prices rose. Volume was about average for recent trading periods and breadth per the WSJ was quite positive.

With Some Hope In Europe, Time To Go Short? Forbes   Steve Schaefer, Forbes Staff  European leaders are gathering Sunday and Wednesday in meetings aimed at hashing out an expansion of the regions bailout fund and recapitalizing banks, but with expectations for a solution rising the risk of a less-than-comprehensive plan rattling markets may be growing.

The S&P 500 has shot up more than 100 points in October, closing at 1,238 Friday, and to trader Seth Setrakian the move is akin to putting the cart before the horse. Setrakian, co-head of equities at proprietary trading firm First New York Securities, called the looming announcement of Europes big plan a classic sell the news and fully expects to be selling ahead Monday through Wednesday ahead of the second meeting even if the market rallies.

The bar is set too high, he believes, arguing that even if the market rallies on a deal being reached, the implementation of whatever resolution plan is adopted will be cumbersome and ultimately amount to solving a problem of debt with more debt. When the market realizes that, Octobers 9.5% gain to date could unravel in a hurry.

The recent stage in the too-rapid rise to current levels is largely a result of short-covering and investors who missed the initial stage of the recovery jumping on board. The shame of it, Setrakian says, is that America is not a bad place to invest without the overhang of a potential dislocation stemming from Europe.

Even if the U.S. economy grows at a meager pace, or even contracts slightly, the profitability of corporate America and the ultra-low level of interest rates make for a constructive equity environment absent the risk of a European meltdown.

Setrakian points to the start to earnings season, which has been OK. Companies trading near 52-week highs coming into the season have been hurt by misses like Apple, which fell short of consensus by a quarter but those that were closer to 52-week lows Travelers for example have been rewarded even without eye-popping results. Then you have the McDonalds of the world, which come into earnings near their highs of the year then post a big number to extend the gains. (See Earnings Season: Solid Start Despite Whiffs From Apple, Goldman.)

Looking ahead to next week, Setrakian says he is keeping an eye on industrials, which in some cases have been priced for recession.

A company like Caterpillar for instance, due to report Monday, could come under pressure if the broader market sells off, but the assumptions built in for earnings are not high and at Fridays $87.39 close the stock is closer to its 52-week low of $67.54 than the high of $116.55.

Above all hangs Europe though, and even if the policy that Germanys Angela Merkel and Frances Nicolas Sarkozy come up with sounds good on its surface, the market will test it very quickly, Setrakian says. If they drop the ball and I think they fumble the market could pull back 7-8% What then? Well by then there may be a whole new complicating factor: the U.S. deficit reduction Supercommitttee, which is on the clock to have its plan ready by Nov. 23.

SPX Update: Don't Get Suckered by the Head-Fake Breakout

 

6 Reasons a Global Recession is Unavoidable ETFguide.com Ron DeLegge, Editor October 5, 2011 Most economists and Wall Street types are reluctant to publicly admit the global economy is in a recession. Their reams of conflicting data are sending mixed messages. But an honest look at key events and the behavior of financial markets solidifies the view that the global recession we're probably already in, is unavoidable. Lets analyze some of the reasons behind this.


1) The Fed is out of tricks. When it comes to manipulating financial markets in the name of economic security, nobody matches the Federal Reserve’s prowess. Over the past few years, the Fed has engaged in financial gimmickry of such epic proportions that angry calls for ending its existence have been voiced from sea to shining sea. The Fed’s Treasury purchases (POMO) and monetization of debt (quantitative easing), may have delayed the reckoning day, but have these programs really solved America’s long-term problems? The Fed’s latest shift from short-term to long-term debt (Operation Twist) is tantamount to taking money from your right hand pocket and putting it into your shirt pocket. The Fed is running out of time and out of tricks. Ben Bernanke has finally admitted what the general public has known all along; the job situation is a “national crisis.”

2) Stock market says we’re already in a recession.The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) and its leading economists still deny the U.S. economy is in a recession. Apparently, their slide rulers haven’t yet confirmed it, so they need a few more quarters before issuing a press release. Meanwhile, the stock market, which is a leading indicator of economic activity, is screaming “recession.” Large company stocks within the S&P 500 (NYSEArca: SPY) have fallen almost 18% since July. Bulls argue this is still shy of the 20% threshold that confirms a bear market, but even so, mid cap stocks (NYSEArca: MDY) and small caps (NYSEArca: IWM) have already entered bear territory. Today’s stock prices reflect expectations about future earnings, which in turn are connected to the future state of the economy. Expectations are rightfully low.

3) Greece has set the tone for Europe (and maybe the rest of the world).How many financial targets will Greece continue to miss before forecasters stop regurgitating its false numbers? When will Greece stop embarrassing itself with financial projections it knows aren’t true? Greece’s 2011 deficit was projected to be 8.5% of its GDP but came in almost €1.69 billion above its original targets. Next year, Greece is aiming for a deficit that’s 6.8% of GDP. With the country engulfed in civil protests, job strikes and general chaos – how realistic are its 2012 projections? Financial bets for Greece to succeed are a long-shot. The country’s economic projections are no longer based upon realistic assumptions, but hopes for garnering more bailout money and calming hostile markets. Ultimately, Greece is merely a reflection of the entire EU region – a place where financial aspirations don’t match reality.

4) Bear funds are leading performers.The two-year period from March 2009 to March 2011 was a difficult existence for bear market funds. After bottoming at decade lows, the stock market skyrocketed and bear funds got clobbered.  But not anymore. Bear funds are investments that, by design, increase in value when the underlying benchmarks they track decline. Now with the stock market swooning, bear funds are posting huge gains. Over the past three months, Direxion’s 3x daily leveraged bear ETFs for large cap stocks (NYSEArca: BGZ) is ahead by 42.97%, mid cap stocks (NYSEArca: MWN) is up 58.30% and small caps (NYSEArca: TZA) is up by 49.76%. Reversing this ominous trend, especially when key technical levels have been pierced, won’t be easy.

5) Major asset classes are in correlation.During a bear market, the correlation between asset classes typically jumps and this is exactly the case right now. Over the past few months, commodities (NYSEArca: GCC), global real estate stocks (NYSEArca: RWO), precious metals (NYSEArca: GLTR), international stocks (NYSEArca: EFA), and U.S. stocks (NYSEArca: SCHB) have all moved in the same general direction by recording sizable losses. Even gold (NYSEArca: IAU) and silver (NYSEArca: SLV), which previously escaped the wrath of losses, have joined the party. And only cash and bonds (NYSEArca: AGG) are bucking the correlation trend. 

6) Pace of sovereign downgrades is accelerating.We don’t advocate putting implicit faith in credit ratings, because history has taught us they are nothing more than financial opinions and frequently, not very accurate ones. Still, a gander at the latest downgrading trend is troublesome. Intuitive observers will note, this is not an isolated phenomenon, but a global trend. Sovereign debt from Greece and Portugal, after several downgrades, is now rated junk. Ireland has been downgraded and Italy was just downgraded by Moody's to A2 with a negative outlook. Japan, along with U.S. debt was lowered in August and another wave of more downgrades is coming, so get used to it. 

Conclusion
Investing in an economically stifled climate requires patience, diligence, and forethought. Following the herd mentality guarantees nothing more than mediocrity and making kneejerk financial decisions is an excellent way to lose money. ETFguide
s Profit Strategy ETF Newsletter continues to advocate a fiercely independent view of world events, financial markets, and the proper allocation of money. Ultimately, having an investment strategy that can perform during any kind of market is a good start.

And those investors who get suckered into betting this mess will work out well are very likely going to lose everything. The impact of the fallout from this will make 2008 look like a joke. The EU is the largest economy in the world. So if its banking system collapses (and it will) we’re facing a full-scale Global financial meltdown (the IMF has even warned of this)…’ ]‘It’s time to settle the debate regarding Europe’s banking system. I know that the mainstream media keeps talking about another round of bailouts or an expansion to the Emergency Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) as though these things matter.But the reality is… they don’t. Europe’s problems go WAY beyond Greece’s debt. And the entire European banking system is primed for a systemic collapse.

Consider the following four facts:

FACT #1: Europe’s entire banking system is leveraged at 25 to 1.

This is nearly two times the US’s leverage levels. With this amount of leverage you only need a 4% drop in asset prices to wipe out ALL equity. These are literally borderline-Lehman levels of leverage (Lehman was 30 to 1).Mind you, these leverage levels are based on asset values the banks claim are accurate. Real leverage levels are in fact likely much MUCH higher.

 KA-BOOM.

FACT #2: European Financial Corporations are collectively sitting on debt equal to 148% of TOTAL EU GDP.

Yes, financial firms’ debt levels in Europe exceed Europe’s ENTIRE GDP. These are just the financial firms. We’re not even bothering to mention non-financial corporate debt, household debt, sovereign debt, etc.Also remember, collectively, the EU is the largest economy in the world (north of $16 trillion). So we’re talking about over $23 TRILLION in debt sitting on European financials’ balance sheets.Oh, I almost forgot, this data point only includes “on balance sheet” debt. We’re totally ignoring off-balance sheet debt, derivatives, etc. So REAL financial corporate debt is much MUCH higher. 

KA-BOOM.

FACT #3: European banks need to roll over between 15% and 50% of their total debt by the end of 2012.

That’s correct, European banks will have to roll over HUGE quantities of their debt before the end of 2012. Mind you, we’re only talking about maturing debt. We’re not even considering NEW debt or equity these banks will have to issue to raise capital.

Considering that even the “rock solid” German banks need to raise over $140 BILLION in new capital alone, we’re talking about a TON of debt issuance coming out of Europe’s banks in the next 14 months.

And this is happening in an environment prone to riots, bank runs, and failed bond auctions (Germany just had a failed bond auction yesterday).

 KA-BOOM

 FACT #4: In order to meet current unfunded liabilities (pensions, healthcare, etc) without defaulting or cutting benefits, the average EU nation would need to have OVER 400% of its current GDP sitting in a bank account collecting interest.

This last data point comes from Jagadeesh Gokhale, Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute, former consultant to the US Treasury, and former Senior Economic Advisor to the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.

This is a guy who’s worked at a very high level on the inside studying sovereign finance, which makes this fact all the more disturbing. And he knew this as far back as January 2009!!!

Folks, the EFSF, the bailouts, China coming to the rescue… all of that stuff is 100% pointless in the grand scheme of things. Europe’s ENTIRE banking system (with few exceptions) is insolvent. Numerous entire European COUNTRIES are insolvent. Even the more “rock solid” countries such as Germany (who is supposed to save Europe apparently) have REAL Debt to GDP ratios of over 200% and STILL HAVEN’T RECAPITALIZED THEIR BANKS.

Again, it DOES NOT matter what Sarkozy and Merkel say. It doesn’t matter how much leverage the EFSF gets. Europe is broke. End of story. And those investors who get suckered into betting this mess will work out well are very likely going to lose everything. The impact of the fallout from this will make 2008 look like a joke. The EU is the largest economy in the world. So if its banking system collapses (and it will) we’re facing a full-scale Global financial meltdown (the IMF has even warned of this). That’s the reality of the situation we’re in today. I know nobody likes to publicly admit it. But it’s true.What happened in 2008 was literally just the warm up. The REAL DEAL is coming in the next 14 months. And it’s going to involve corporate, financial, and sovereign defaults.On that note, if you’re looking for specific ideas to profit from this mess, my Surviving a Crisis Four Times Worse Than 2008 report can show you how to turn the unfolding disaster into a time of gains and profits for any investor.

·  The Next Lehman: Bank of America is on the verge of a collapse. Each minute that ticks by brings it closer to becoming the Lehman Brothers event of this Crash. How do we know? Its financials are horrifying and it's been hit with a $31 billion dollar lawsuit. It's in worse shape than it was in 2008 - when it just barely survived.

·  Europe Is Collapsing: Most every European stock market is gasping for life right now. European banks are in free fall. Germany is facing internal revolt and won't even be able (or willing) to back up any bailouts. And Greece has entered the final stages for its financial system -- the markets are pricing in a near 100% certainty of Greek debt default. This will ultimately kill Europe as we know it today.

·  The US Debt Catastrophe: We just blew out our debt ceiling again. Yes, just after the last desperate extension was passed (and the US credit rating was downgraded to great fanfare). And the US economy remains a disaster with more and more Americans losing jobs and then falling off the unemployment numbers. No jobs = no recovery in sight. Our leaders have no plan but to pass more and more intrusive, ineffective legislation.

·  The Myth of the Market Saviour: QE 3 won't solve this mess no matter how cleverly it's disguised (or trumpeted from the rooftops). The Fed spent $900 billion and nearly one year to prop up the markets -- and we've wiped out all those gains in just one summer month. As for China, how did their support of the Euro go earlier this year? Or the recent multiple central bank intervention to prop up the global markets? They're all clueless about plugging the growing leaks on a very large Titanic.

 

To be blunt, the financial system is in greater danger of systemic collapse than at any point in history (including 2008). Do not be fooled by the recent rally we've just seen. Things are not okay! We saw rallies of 8%, 11% and even 17% during 2008. Investors who bought into them got taken to the cleaners…’

Can “It” Happen Here? Oct 17th, 2011 News By John Mauldin15-Oct (JohnMauldin.com) — I was inspired for this week’s letter by a piece by Art Cashin (whom I will get to have dinner with Monday). His daily letter always begins with an anecdote from history. Yesterday it was about Weimar, told in his own inimitable style. So without any edits, class will commence, with Professor Cashin at the chalk board.[Cashin's recounting of the nightmare German inflation, which we posted last week.]…”We know that the world is drowning in too much debt, and it is unlikely that households and governments everywhere will be able to pay down that debt. Doing so in some cases is impossible, and in other cases it will condemn people to many hard years of labor in order to be debt-free. Inflation, by comparison, appears to be the easy way out for many policy makers.“Companies and households typically deal with excessive debt by defaulting; countries overwhelmingly usually deal with excessive debt by inflating it away.…But now even serious economists are recommending inflation as a solution. Given the powerful deflationary forces in the world, inflation will stay low in the near term. This gives some comfort to mainstream economists who think we can create inflation to solve the debt problem in the short run.[source]PG View: Another great and comprehensive piece by Mauldin on the threat of hyperinflation. Even though Mauldin believes that an independent Fed, mandated to keep inflation in check, will prevent the unthinkable…what if he’s wrong? He cites an “ill-conceived” proposal by Financial Services Committee ranking member Barney Frank that could severely impede the Fed’s independence as a reason for concern. But even if Mauldin is correct, and inflation of the magnitude needed to meaningfully reduce our oppressive debt burden is never unleashed, it means that that very debt burden is going to be an interminable head-wind to economic growth and job creation. We are truly caught between Scylla and Charybdis.

ECRI Recession Watch: Growth Index Declines Further  http://www.bullseyemicrocaps.com/?p=11699  By Doug Short: The Weekly Leading Index (WLI) growth indicator of the Economic Cycle Research Institute (ECRI) has posted 10 consecutive declines since early August.

US to Experience Stagflation Worse Than 1970s: Jim Rogers CNBC | The U.S. economy is likely to experience a period of stagflation worse than the 1970s.

 

Jeff Applegate: Not Sheepish About Turning Bearish  The Wall Street Journal  Jonathan Cheng Last week was a tough time to turn bearish. Since hitting a bottom on Tuesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has jumped by 11% in less than two weeks, raising hopes among some investors that the U.S. and Europe may be able to power through their summertime woes.

Not for Jeff Applegate.

Mr. Applegate, the 61-year-old chief investment officer of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, last week made his biggest bearish shift in more than two years, battening down the hatches and reducing his exposure to stocks, high-yield bonds, commodities and real-estate investment trusts.

Mr. Applegate argues that the world is heading into recession, hurt by political paralysis that has added uncertainty while withholding stimulus at a time of weakness. And the past few days rally, fueled by progress on a European bailout and an encouraging U.S. jobs number, has done little to change his mind.

Were seeing a relief rally in global equities in recent days, but at the end of the day, we think if Europe is heading into recession which I think they are and if the U.S. is heading into recession which I think we are then theres more downside in equities, Mr. Applegate said.

After a strong start to the year, U.S. stocks wavered in the summer as Europes debt crisis intensified. Stocks tumbled further in August as the worries spread to the U.S. economy, sending the Dow to a one-year low last week. But as the economic data showed tepid signs of improvement, a number of investors and traders have begun to argue that the stock-market may have turned a corner.

Mr. Applegate said the Global Investment Committee he runs at MSSB, which meets as many as 20 times a week but makes only very infrequent changes to its positioning, didnt come to the conclusion lightly.

Two and a half years ago, Mr. Applegate began shifting to a more aggressive position, benefiting from the major U.S. stock indexes 70% increase off its the March 2009 trough. While he says there was no single event that tipped the balance this time around, Mr. Applegates pessimism is based on well-known concerns: the ongoing debt crisis in Europe, fears of a double dip recession in the U.S. and concerns about central bankers ability to support the wavering global economy.

The policy action being taken, both in Europe and the U.S., is too little, too late, he says.

Mr. Applegate doesnt rule out a comprehensive plan to prevent a European banking crisis, but he worries that Europes economy may nonetheless falter particularly as the European Central Bank holds interest rates steady after several increases earlier this year.

Europe will avoid a Greek default, but what we ware saying is that theyre heading into recession anyway, he said. The European economy wasnt exactly robust to begin with, and its hard to see how its going to get better.

To be sure, Mr. Applegate concedes that the economic picture could gradually improve, in which case our call is going to be incorrect.

Were sifting through the evidence all the time, so if it looks like weve got it wrong, well need to change our course, he said.

Mr. Applegate says he isnt bothered by the markets recent 11% run-up.

We have always said that we never try to time the market, and we dont, he said, adding that his committee is flexible enough to reverse course or even turn more bearish if economic conditions deteriorate more than he fears. We could still get more defensive, he said.

 

 

 

Double-Dip Recession a Foregone Conclusion: Roubini Oct 11th, 2011 News (CNBC) — The world’s advanced economies are headed for a second recession, regardless of whether there is further chaos in Europe, Nouriel Roubini told CNBC on Tuesday. The economist who correctly predicted the 2008 financial crisis, but has got some other bearish calls wrong, said his reading of recent data suggested the U.S., euro zone and the UK are already on the verge of falling into a recession in the next quarter or two.“The question is not whether or if there is going to be a double dip, but whether it’s going to be mild or severe with another financial crisis,” Roubini told CNBC on the sidelines of the World Knowledge Forum in Seoul. “The answer on that depends on the euro zone.”According to Roubini, a disorderly situation in Europe caused by a sovereign debt default, a banking crisis or an exit of one of the members from the euro zone, would be a shock more severe than the collapse of Lehman Brothers. He added that Europe had to get its act together and “do the right thing” by the G20 meeting in Cannes in the first week of November.[source]

 

The REAL $200 TRILLION Problem Bernanke’s Worried About   Phoenix Capital... : 10/12/2011 – ‘US Commercial banks have $200 TRILLION in interest rate based derivatives sitting on their balance sheets. And guess which banks have the greatest exposure?

Ben Bernanke

CDS

default

Federal Reserve

Greece

I’ve stated before that Bernanke isn’t interested in interest rates for employment of economic purposes. We now have definitive proof this is the case.

 http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user20289/imageroot/2011/09/sc-4_0.png

 As you can see, interest rates have actually RISEN after the announcement of QE lite, QE 2 AND Operations Twist #2.The evidence is clear, QE has not lowered interest rates. Indeed, the only time rates FELL in the last two years was when the Fed WASN’T engaged in QE (May 2010-August 2010 and June 2011-September 2011).So what gives? Does the Federal Reserve not have a stockcharts account? Don’t tell me that with the TRILLIONS spent bailing out banks the Fed can’t afford to print a couple hundred bucks to see Treasury yields. Heck, there are plenty of FREE sources for Treasury charts.Jokes aside, it’s clear the Fed is engaged in QE for another reason or reasons. I believe they are:

#1) To absorb the insane debt issuance to permit the US’s massive deficit.

#2) To keep the interest rate based derivative market in check.

Regarding #1, it’s no surprise that the US has been running a deficit that would make Greece proud. Indeed, the primary strategy of the powers that be since the Great Crisis began in 2008 was to attempt to make up for the sharp downturn in the private sector by spending obscene amounts of money.The Fed played a big part in this.  Indeed, since QE 1 was announced the Fed has bought over $1.2 TRILLION in Treasuries. The Fed claims it isn’t funding the deficit directly. That’s only partially correct. The Fed is supposedly buying old Treasuries from the banks. However, the definition of “old” can mean one or two weeks.Tell me with a straight face that isn’t somehow buying new Treasuries.As for the derivatives situation or #2 in my list above, 82% of the $244 TRILLION in derivatives sitting on US commercial bank balance sheets are based on interest rates. Put another way…US Commercial banks have $200 TRILLION in interest rate based derivatives sitting on their balance sheets. And guess which banks have the greatest exposure?

 http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user20289/imageroot/2011/09/top%20four.gif

Looks a lot like the list of the VERY banks the Fed has been giving the most money/ preferential treatment to. Coincidence? Nope. This is the $200 TRILLION problem Bernanke’s so worried about. It’s THE reason he keeps funneling money to the TBTFs.And he WILL lose control of it, just as he did in 2008.Consider that Financial leverage levels today are higher than during the Tech Bubble. Only this time, the problem will be far FAR worse.Why?Because 2008 was caused by the Credit Default Swap (CDS) market which was $50-60 trillion at the time. As I stated before, the interest-rate based derivative problem is $200 TRILLION in size.Even if only 4% of this is “at risk” and 10% of that “at risk” money blows up, you’ve STILL pretty much wiped out the equity at the TBTFs.You think Bernanke might be worried?On that note, if you have yet to prepare yourself for what’s coming, now is the time to do so. Whether it’s by moving to cash and bullion, opening some shorts, or simply getting out of the markets altogether, now is the time to be preparing for what’s coming (remember, stocks took six months to bottom after Lehman… and that was when the Fed still had some bullets left to combat the collapse).And if you’re looking for specific ideas to profit from this mess, my Surviving a Crisis Four Times Worse Than 2008 report can show you how to turn the unfolding disaster into a time of gains and profits for any investor.Within its nine pages I explain precisely how the Second Round of the Crisis will unfold, where it will hit hardest, and the best means of profiting from it (the very investments my clients used to make triple digit returns in 2008).Best of all, this report is 100% FREE.

Europe eyes bigger Greek losses for banks

 

Markets Are Dealing With a Foreboding Financial Backdrop  Minyanville   Lee Adler Oct 12, 2011 ‘Tracking the Fed, Treasury, primary dealers, foreign central banks, money supply, and other key elements of US market liquidity to undertsand how markets are operating.

Two weeks ago I began to report that foreign central banks (FCBs) had begun to engage in unprecedented levels of disgorgement of their massive holdings of US Treasury and Agency paper. Prior to this year, the FCBs had typically absorbed the equivalent of 25% of new US Treasury issuance month in and month out. That was effectively a subsidy of US financial markets. It lowered long-term interest rates artificially and injected cash into the US markets and banking system.

Then about a year ago the FCBs began to slack off in their buying. In reality, that is what necessitated the Fed's program of Quantitative Easing. The Fed had to step in and fill the demand gap left by the FCBs gradually reducing their rate of purchases. Had the Fed not acted when it did, long-term Treasury yields would have started to rise and along with them mortgage rates and other long-term rates, something that the US economy and the US government simply could not afford.

When the negative unintended consequences of the Fed's QE
money printing, primarily skyrocketing commodity prices, exploded in Ben Bernanke's face, he was forced to discontinue the program and allow the Treasury market to fend for itself. The Fed had convinced itself through its self-congratulatory in-house research, that there would be more than enough demand for Treasuries for the market to stand on its own without the Fed propping it up.

Ironically, the US bond market was rescued by the European sovereign debt and bank meltdown, so it appeared for a while that Dr. Bernanke might be right and his monster experiment would come to life on its own. The European panic triggered massive capital flight that ended up (where else?) flooding into the US, mostly into purchases of Treasuries. Not only could the monster walk on its own, it could actually fly! Once again the Treasury market benefited from an unusual subsidy, this one driven by fear. Bond prices flew into the stratosphere with yields sinking to record lows.

About six weeks ago, something changed. FCBs not only slowed their buying of Treasuries, they stopped altogether, reversed course and actually began selling them. Three weeks ago their selling reached a level that I characterized as "dumping." It was simply unprecedented. I opined that this could be the beginning of the end of the Treasury bull market, in spite of any effect that the Fed's new Operation Twist might have.

In fact, I expected that effect to be nil, and it has been. If anything, the announcement of Operation Twist, where the Fed offered to buy long-term Treasuries from the Primary Dealers while simultaneously selling them short-term paper, rang a bell for some investors. The Fed's announcement told them that the time had come to sell their long-term paper. If the Fed was buying, they decided that they would be glad to sell. Today, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.16%. That's up an astonishing 44 basis points since last Thursday's open.

Every other day, the Treasuries open on a huge gap. They are trading more like pork bellies than stodgy government bonds. Worst of all, the yield on the 10-year is up approximately 45 basis points since the low in yield reached the day after the Fed announced Operation Twist. Bernanke has egg all over his face. The man simply does not understand financial markets. And this move does not look like a fluke. As a result of today's market, the yield on the 10-year has broken out of an intermediate-term base. Unless yields pull back immediately, the implication is that the intermediate term target is 2.50. Meanwhile, Bernanke had assured investors that long-term yields would fall as a result of his doing the Twist.

Apparently, the FCBs were among those who took the Fed's announcement as a sell signal. They are selling at the heaviest pace in the nine years that I have been tracking this
data. Normally, prior to the last five weeks, the instances when they were actually net sellers were few and far between. What has been going on here lately is no less than a sea change.

Making matters worse is that the Primary Dealers have also become massive sellers of Treasuries and all manner of fixed
income paper in recent weeks. This data is released with a 10-day lag, so I only have data through September 28, but given the market action this week, this trend is certainly continuing.

The dealers appear to be in trouble. They began selling off their fixed income paper of all types in early September. That accelerated to what I can only characterize as wholesale dumping in the weeks ended September 21 and 28. It is no coincidence that those where the weeks where we began to see yields reverse from their record run.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/October11/12/la10121.JPG

 
These are troubling developments, not just for their implications for the bond market, but for what they imply about the health of the backbone of the US financial system -- the Fed's Primary Dealer (PD) network. If the Fed is the head, these guys are the spinal cord. Focusing on just their corporate bond holdings the picture becomes even more troubling. If major corporations are supposedly doing so well and their balance sheets are in such great shape, why did the PDs not accumulate their fixed income securities throughout the equities bull market of 2009 and 2010? And especially, why have they been frantically dumping their corporate holdings since June?

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/October11/12/la10122.JPG

Something is rotten here. These are signs of major systemic stress.

It's been a while since both stocks and bonds have rallied together. In recent months stocks could only rally when bonds sold off, which was rare. For the most part bonds were rallying and stocks were selling off. There just has not been sufficient systemic liquidity to keep levitating both markets simultaneously. It was either one or the other. But even the days where the
stock market rallies, when bonds sell off and yields rise, may be coming to an end, and the day where both stock and bond prices fall and yields rise together, may be at hand.

These are just a couple of the factors that I track in my weekly reports covering the Fed, Treasury, Primary Dealers, foreign central banks, money supply, US commercial banking system conditions, fund flows and other key elements of US market liquidity. The fabric of the US financial markets is intertwined and complex. I track what I believe, from my years of observation, are the most important threads in that fabric, to try and gain an understanding of the context in which the markets are operating. That context is important to the technical analysis side of my work, where knowing the liquidity picture can help in understanding the patterns unfolding on the charts of the markets themselves. There are always loose ends, but more often than not, even with loose ends most of the threads tie together into a neat tapestry with a story that is clear. This may be one of those times, and it's not a happy picture.

But, markets dont care about this and just thirst for any deal even if memories remain short. These euro zone fixes seem ephemeral and need implementation to stick. HFT algos are programmed to pounce on these presumed fixes and have been active in driving stock prices higher this past week. Lets face it; this is the time of year bulls can make their year with good fees and bonuses on the line

There's A Recession Coming According To The Data at Forbes  The stock market peaked in April, and is behaving in the saame fashion it did in late 2007, when big troubles from real estate writedowns were spreading through the financial sector.

The most worrisome statistic this week was the Empire State Manufacturing indedx wehich was down from a minus 3.76 to a minus 7.7 a leading indicator of recession in the past. The new industrial orders index from New York remained well below zero at minus 7.8.

The Federal Reserve Board has promised to keep interest rates at zero until 2013 an admission that the economy is not expected to rebound for two years until the next President is in the White House. This policy step indicates the Fed does not believe the economy will recover either this year or next year. Never before has the centreal bank made such a policy declaration for as long a period as two years.

There were 1300 new lows in the market on August 8th another phenomenon that hasd not taken place since the great stagnation was triggered in 2008. Even though the market indexes made up all their lost ground, it appewars that investors are willing to delude themselves that  corporate profits will reemain at very high levels despite the period of austerity we are clearly entering.

The austerity required in Europe to deal with the sovereign debt crisis is likely to push Europe into a recession. This will impact US corporations dependent on important profits from Europe.

The corporate return on revenues has risen the past two years to a peak of 14% an unusually high level of profits that is not expected to continue.

Consumer savings are rising as household debt gets paid back. But, we are a long way from safety levels of savings in a high unemployment period. And the higherb the saavings rise so the lower the level of consumption will be.

Housing numbers were down 1.5% last month underscoring that the turnaround in housing is not close at hand.

 

 

Market's Swoon Should Be Your Wake Up Call

 

 

Watch Out: 2011 Looks A Lot Like The Market Top In 2007 Sean Hanlon:   Back on December 12, 2007 I wrote a market commentary that started as follows:

The equity markets have been very volatile this year, but also range bound.  A picture speaks a thousand words so all one needs to do is view the chart below of the S&P 500 Index to understand just how volatile and range bound things have been.  Specifically, since February 20, 2007, only nine and one half months or so ago, the S&P 500 Index has been down 5.86%, up 13.02%, down 9.43%, up 11.26%, down 10.09%, and now up 7.73% through 12/10/07 so far in this latest up leg!  All this in ONLY nine and one half months!

http://blogs-images.forbes.com/advisor/files/2011/07/market-commentary-1.jpg

History is repeating itself so far in 2011, which has been fraught with ups and downs in both international and domestic equity markets.  This is due to many things, including the considerable economic doubts and various countries debt situations. This uncertainty has translated into market performance with direct impacts on portfolio returns and more prominently in portfolio volatility. This volatility is best seen in the chart below of the S&P 500 Index beginning 1/1/11.

http://blogs-images.forbes.com/advisor/files/2011/07/market-commentary-2.jpg

2010 ended positivity and the momentum carried into the first two months of 2011 however the end of February began a series of events that led market returns on a whipsaw ride of ups and downs, resulting in the current universal mid-year views of market uncertainty.

What news was associated with this volatility? All the usual; crude oil prices, natural disasters, corporate earnings, politics, economic forecast revisions for both developed and emerging markets, the European debt situation, the United States debt situation and more to name just a few.

One thing is for certain; the current volatile, range bound market activity is difficult at best to profit from.  In this investing environment patience is the most important attribute.  I will be patient and will be careful until the trends are preferable.

Our strategy at Hanlon Investment Management is to attempt to minimize downside risk by exiting risk asset classes, such as equities, during periods of uncertainty, getting invested in more conservative asset classes, such as money markets and short-term bonds, and re-entering into risky asset classes when we identify them as attractive, when the trend is our friend and positive!

Having identified this volatility, in June we made defensive, tactical investment decisions that provide less exposure to these volatile, range bound markets and prepare us to re-enter the markets when they possess improved risk characteristics.

 

 

 

SEC may have destroyed documents, senator says 17 Aug 2011 The Securities and Exchange Commission may have destroyed documents and compromised enforcement case ...   Grassley: Agency may have got rid of Goldman, Madoff documents   Ronald D. Orol, MarketWatch WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) The Securities and Exchange Commission may have destroyed documents and compromised enforcement cases involving activity at large banks and hedge funds during the height of the financial crisis in 2008, according to allegations made by a lawmaker on Wednesday. From what Ive seen, it looks as if the SEC might have sanctioned some level of case-related document destruction, said Sen. Chuck Grassley, Republican of Iowa, in a letter to the agencys chairman, Mary Schapiro. Sen. Chuck Grassley  It doesnt make sense that an agency responsible for investigations would want to get rid of potential evidence. If these charges are true, the agency needs to explain why it destroyed documents, how many documents it destroyed over what timeframe, and to what extent its actions were consistent with the law. Agency staff destroyed over 9,000 files related to preliminary agency investigations, according to a letter sent in July to Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and obtained by MarketWatch. The allegations were made by SEC enforcement attorney, Darcy Flynn, in a letter to Grassley. Flynn is a current employee, and according to the letter, received a bonus for his past years work. Flynn alleges the SEC destroyed files related to matters being examined in important cases such as Bernard Madoff and a $50 billion Ponzi scheme he operated as well as an investigation involving Goldman Sachs Group Inc. GS +0.33%   trading in American International Group credit-default swaps in 2009. Flynn also alleged that the agency destroyed documents and information collected for preliminary investigations at Wells Fargo & Co. WFC +1.34% , Bank of America Corp. BAC +0.81% , Citigroup C +0.13%  , Credit Suisse CS +0.38%  , Deutsche Bank DB +0.79%  Morgan Stanley MS -0.06%  and the now-bankrupt Lehman Brothers. The letter goes into particular detail about Deutsche Bank, the former employer of current SEC enforcement chief Robert Khuzami as well as former enforcement chiefs Gary Lynch and Richard Walker…’

Grassley:   Report: SEC lawyer exposed FBI informant (WP) [ Clearly, the sec liar (sic lawyer) is one of those typically with a pre or post arrangement, whether implicit or explicit; you know, that ubiquitous bribe thing in pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt, fallen  america.

Everything You Need to Know About the Latest Market Plunge [But were afraid to ask]  Minyanville Staff Aug 18, 2011  ‘After a rather benign start to the week, markets plunged on Thursday with the S&P 500 shedding 4.5% and the Nasdaq-100 falling nearly 5%. The main driver on the day was speculation European banks remain insufficiently capitalized. Gold jumped nearly 25 to a record high and Treasuries rallied. Among stock movers, Apple (AAPL) outperformed the indices but still dropped 3.7%, Microsoft (MSFT) also outperformed closing down just 2.2%, Bank of America (BAC) dropped 6% and Oracle (ORCL) fell 8.3%.

Dow Tumbles on New Worries About Same Old Issues - Aaron Task

Who’s Worse: U.S. Banks or Bernie Madoff? - Stacy Curtin

 



 


WHY NEW LOWS ARE LIKELY   Simon Maierhofer, August 18, 2011  Last Sunday's (August 14) ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter update listed 5 reasons why new lows are likely. Here they are:

HISTORIC REVERSAL

We've been expecting a major market top in the S&P 500 (SNP: ^GSPC), Dow Jones Industrials (DJI: ^DJI) and Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC). The April 3 ETF Profit Strategy update identified the ideal target range for a major top to be 1,369 - 1,382. The chart below was featured in the same update.

It outlines a top around 1,370 followed by an initial decline to about 1,230 (happened in June), followed by a rally (happened in July), followed by a steep decline.

DEATH CROSS

The death cross is one of the most talked about technical events, that's why I don't put too much stock in it. However, there are two interesting facts about previous death crosses.

The 2000 and 2007 death cross occurred about three days before the S&P embarked on its next leg down. The 2010 death cross was actually a buy signal. However, it occurred after the S&P and DJIA bounced off a multi-year trend line. This time the trend line was broken so a more bearish interpretation of the death cross is appropriate.

                               https://www.etfguide.com/images/PDNewsletter_Images/5%20-%20April%203%20TF.jpg  

SEASONALITY

August, September, and October is the most bearish stretch of the year. September and October sport negative performance even in the pre-election year.

SENTIMENT

From S&P 1,370 on May 2 to S&P 1,258 on June 16, the S&P shed 112 points and sentiment measured by Investors Intelligence (II) and the American Association for Individual Investors (AAII) turned deeply bearish (only 37% II bulls). The June 16 ETF Profit Strategy update took that as a queue to buy (long positions were closed at S&P 1,340).

From S&P 1,353 on July 7 to S&P 1,102 on August 9 the S&P lost 251 points, yet the II sentiment poll registered the second most bullish reading since the first week of May (47.3% II bulls). AAII and II polls are often considered the 'dumb money.' If the 'dumb money' views last Wednesday's low as a buying opportunity, the 'smart money' should be suspicious.

VIX PATTERN

If you have the charting capabilities, take a moment and plot the VIX (Chicago Options: ^VIX) against the S&P for the months of September - November 2008 and April - July 2010. If you don't have the time you may simply look at the chart below.

                                https://www.etfguide.com/images/PDNewsletter_Images/yahoo%20-%20vix%20pattern.gif  

What we've seen in 2008 and 2010 is that a VIX peak did not coincide with the S&P bottom. The S&P bottom actually occurred against a lower VIX reading. If this pattern continues, we will see lower lows.

The August 14 ETF Profit Strategy update includes a detailed analysis of the VIX pattern.

THE SCRIPT

Via more or less accidental chart surfing I found a striking resemblance between the 2007 market top and the May 2011 top.  This moved me to state in the July 17 Profit Strategy update that:

'There is a similar trend line and a triple top above the trend line. A break below that trend line could be a precursor of bad things. Next week the trend line will be at about 1,262.' The S&P sliced through that trend line on August 4 and fell an additional 12% within the next four days.

The August 7 Profit Strategy update revisited that script and concluded this: 'We now have a rough script; let's see how much lip the actors will add during the live performance (I.e. S&P downgrade). 

The two main things I have taken away from the 2007 script are:

1) There will be a new low.

2) There will be a powerful counter trend rally to around 1,xxx (reserved for subscribers).'

THE VERDICT

We got the new low and we got a rather powerful rally. Now the question is, how long will the low last and how high will stocks rally?

The script suggests there will be another low. The VIX pattern suggests there should be another price low. Seasonality suggests that there's some headwind on the way up. Sentiment readings suggest we should be suspicious of any rally. The death cross also suggests lower prices.

SUMMARY

There were a number of good reasons to expect new lows on Sunday. Yesterday's ETF Profit Strategy update recommended to go short as soon as the S&P breaks below 1,373. This happened within the first few minutes of trading today. Now it's time to let the script play out…’

Abandon Ship?[The USS Titanic] Yes, Because of These 5 Bearish Icebergs | iPhone 2 (robot)... By Michael McGill: August 18, 2011 is a day that has handed out some of the worst economic news since a few days in the 2008 financial crisis, and it has the Dow Jones Industrial Average down big time.

Dow/Gold Ratio Lowest Since 1987 Crash   Forbes   Adrian Ash Todays gold buyers might still get to look early birds as this depression wears on GROWTH or defensestocks or gold? Intra-day noise aside in summer 2011, Mr.Markets choice looks plain.

The Dow/Gold Ratio a measure of the U.S. stock markets valuation in ounces of gold has sunk as equities have plunged but gold prices have jumped so far this summer.

Dropping through 6.0 ahead of Fridays New York opening, the Dow/Gold Ratio hasnt been this low since early 1989, back when world equity markets were recovering from the Great Crash of Black Monday 1987.

http://goldnews.bullionvault.com/files/DowGoldviii11.png

That slump itself had taken the Dow/Gold Ratio all the way down to 3.6, with gold prices rising to nearly $500 per ounce as the Wall Street index sank to 1776 points. Growth, of course, was only taking a pause in late 1987 a quick breather before the real race to perfection of the late 1990s. Today, in contrast, the Dow/Gold Ratio could still go a lot further down. Or so says history.

Trading a little over its century-long average of 10.0 today, the ratio bottomed during the 1930s Great Depression at just below 2.0 ounces of gold for one Dow unit. At the nadir of the next global depression the inflationary depression of the early 1980s the Dow/Gold Ratio sank even lower, down to 1.0.

Whatever flavor of depression weve got at the start of this decade and it is a depression, as Western jobs data continue to show and as the Dow/Gold yardstick will confirm if it goes much lower (keep an eye on the underperformance of gold mining equities, too) a growing flow of private savings is choosing defense in gold bullion rather than choosing business-risk in listed stocks.

That choice might sound self-fulfilling if you work in psychiatry or government, a kind of clinical disorder open to curing with medication, zero interest rates or perhaps a third round of quantitative easing most likely aimed at risk assets, we guess, rather than the risk free Treasury bonds targeted by QE1 and QE2 and which institutional investors are all-too keen to hold anyway.

So far, however, investors choosing to buy gold only account for a tiny portion of the money fleeing equities.

From here to a true depression low in Dow/Gold (if such a level is reached), todays gold buyers will need to find many more friends. Theyd also look early-birds compared with the rush out of stocks and into gold needed to reach that 2.0 or 1.0 mark.

 

The Great Stocks Vs. Gold Round Trip  Aug 19th, 2011 News (BusinessInsider) — ‘ When priced in gold stocks have now returned to where they were at the market’s low-point, back in 2009. Actually, we’re even worse now.  http://www.usagold.com/pete/newsviews/20110819GoldSPratio.jpg   PG View: In 1965 De Gaulle called for a return to an “indisputable monetary base,” one that “does not bear the mark of any particular country.” He of course was referring to gold. As was pointed out in a Forbes article early in the week on the 40th anniversary of President Nixon closing the gold window, over the last four thousand years, the only period in which humanity has not consistently based its currency in metal, specifically gold, is the last forty.” And look what that has wrought…’


Ignore Buffett's Advice, Don't Buy Stocks at Forbes Bert Dohmen [ Yeah this is really good advice. As a shill for fraudulent wall street, they may have given him some stellar performances and cash to boot; but, the homespun bumpkin senile buffets analytical abilities, if ever really extant, have certainly passed the point of no return. You may recall how the clintons, with a mere $1,000 or so, were revealed as commodities trading wizards, but as written up in the Wall Street Journal someone was giving them money. In fairness, that they were singled out (was) is a bit arbitrary inasmuch as thats going on all the time on wall street, and now with greater precision owing to greater computer programming capabilities, to everyone elses detriment. Remember, in a manner of speaking, there are two sides to every trade, viz., winner and loser (in relative terms).] The markets plunged going into August 8. On that day, the DJI closed with a loss of 629 points. My indicators signaled that a brief bounce would commence the next day. According to the charts, the first target for the S&P 500 was 1205. The target was hit exactly a few days later. That was followed by a renewed plunge.

I have been looking for a serious crisis to start in September. It appears that we have seen the prelude for that. The big smart money has been preparing for the past five months.You can see the distribution pattern on the charts since mid-February. The rush to the exits is now accelerating and the smart money has been selling short in large amounts.

The extreme bullish sentiment that prevailed until the latest plunge was first replaced by complacency, then by concern. However, the fear stage is still missing, except at hedge funds that were forced to sell because of margin calls. In fact, during the severe plunge in the first week of August, investment investors became even more bullish according to Investorsintelligence.com. That is not good for the markets.

The market negatives are increasing in numbers. The IPO window is now shut. There are signs that credit is once again vanishing. Loans are being called in, some companies appear to have difficulties rolling over their Commercial Paper, junk bonds yields are soaring, European banks may stop lending to each other, and the European crisis is spreading out across the globe. Its my view that this will cause another credit crisis, just as in 2008.

Whats worse is that contrary to 2008, the big players learned to read the signs from their 2008 mistakes. They are now wide awake, although in the media, their minions still repeat the same bullish fairy tale. This means that this crisis could develop much faster than the last one. (Read my book, Financial Apocalypse, which is the 2008 roadmap, one which can be used very well for what is now happening.)

The words possible recession suddenly is being mentioned a lot in the media, although economists still strongly deny that possibility. Our rule is that the stronger their denials, the more certain and the deeper the recession will be. In fact, I declared in our May 9 issue of the Wellington Letter that the recession had started.

Morgan Stanley lowered its global GDP growth forecasts for 2012 from 4.5% to 3.8%. My forecast is for 1%-2% or less. It would be negative growth except for the fudged inflation numbers.

The European politicians are not any smarter than those in the U.S. Merkel and Sarkozy had a meeting in Paris and did nothing. That day I called the outcome Disastrous for the markets. It took the markets a day to digest the consequences and then the selling avalanche started. Many of the markets in Europe, led by the banks stocks, went into virtual free falls, losing from 4%-7% in one day. Such losses indicate an approaching crisis.

Now we see some of the well-known Wall Street figures appearing in the media, telling investors all the reasons why stocks are a good buy. One appeared with a long list of bullish factors. Well, that list didnt prevent the global stock market from losing an incredible $6 trillion over the past several weeks. He did the same cheerleading on national TV in 2007 before investors lost 50% of their wealth.

Warren Buffett is also once again the cheerleader saying he is buying stocks. He did that in 2007-2008 as well, and then the meltdown started later in 2008.

I would not fall for this self-serving advice. Words cannot rescind a recession that we already have, it cannot stop the insolvency of entire countries in Europe, it cant change the fact that major profit downgrades will appear soon, and it cant stop the China crisis that is now starting.

Gold is soaring, but the mining stocks look terribly weak. There is great danger now with the gold stocks getting hit hard by less developed countries, including South Africa, to nationalize gold mines. This is too lucrative for them to resist.

I would get out of all money market funds unless they are U.S. government only.  The MMFs have big exposure to European banks. We believe that lending between banks in Europe may seize, which means that the whole structure will start shaking. You will start hearing the word contagion.

In my opinion, the danger period is approaching. What we have seen until now is just a preview. The main feature is likely to be worse.

The "Crimes" That Wrecked The Markets  Forbes / Robert Lenzner CNNs anchor in London, Richard Quest, raised the issue squarely today about trying to explain the crimes that have created this failure to recover from the 2008 recession and the fear of another  downturn in the economy that could wipe out many of the gains we have achieved. Quest, of course, did not mean felonies or violations of the law that would land people in prison. I think he meant crimes of bad policy, crimes of financial illiteracy, crimes of stupidity, crimes of poor leadership.

So, heres my attempt to sum up my answer to Quest.

The powers-that-be saved  the Masters of the Universe on Wall Street by using trillions of loans, investments and guarantees that sent the signal that Finance was the nations Number One Priority.  This historic gift to finance meant that the growing disparity between the super-rich and the middle class would continue to widen, without anyone of our top policy gurus suggesting it was splitting our nation. Some academics even worry about the crime of pushing the middle class into poverty.

Nevertheless, there was no bold strategy left to help those out of work. It was a crime that the stimulus program did nothing to create any jobs in the private sector. Obamas economic adviser in 2009 , Larry Summers, was dead set against a make-work program to put the nations skilled construction workers busy on repairing  the rusting infrastructure he finds distasteful at airports and railroad stations. Now, we are going to be given the sop of an infrastructure bank that couldnt possibly be in place for years, if ever.

No question the handling  of the debt limit debacle was  crime of poor planning, no overall shred strategy and trying to effect a master plan for $4  trillion cuts with only days to go before the August 2nd deadline. Keystone Cops,  whatever you wish to call it caused a loss of confidence in the nations politicians; a kind of virtual crime on the public who deserved better. Much better. This entire episode removed the foundations to rational expectations for the stock market and threw the nation into a madhouse of volatility and confusion.

I dont know what to call the lapse in the markets faith in paper money and the more-or-less steady rise in the price of gold from $850 an ounce 3 years ago to well over $1800 today.  There is no other stock, bond or commodity you could have purchased that had this magnificent performance. Well, maybe the shares of Apple, and some global commodity producers.

Moreover, it was a crime to do nothing about the obscene bonuses taken by the Masters of the Universe who only were able to pay themselves in this way because of the federal bailout. No one has tried to  get back the fortunes taken away by Lehmans Richard Fuld,  Countrywide Credits Angelo Mozilloor either of the Merrill Lynch CEOs, who helped destroy their iconic firm. Now theres a crime.

Then, theres the  SECs unwillingness to reinstitute the uptick on short sales of stock so that hedge funds and other speculators could not trigger sharp sell-offs in the stock market If you had this uptick rule back, every short seller would have to wait for a transaction at a higher price to  sell short rather than the libertarian crime that allows them to pound a stock lower to make sure-thing profits. Its a crime short sellers are able to shoot ducks in a barrel. Shocking lack of fairness. No wonder Aunt Sadie is fleeing.

No doubt there were crimes committed in the week of volatility, with gyrations that scared the public. These movements up and down were caused by the high frequency trading by computers owned by hedge funds who are not investors but in-and-out traders several times a day and who have no regard for fundamental values.  These Masters Of  The Universe have the ultimate power in American society because of their political contributions and lobbying.

I believe Obamas health plan to be a crime because it was a sellout to the 5 giant health insurance firms that were given 4 years clear and free to raise their premiums without interference. It was a crime because Obama was told by leading Senators it was a terrible sellout of the citizenry.

I dont know what to call the bankruptcy of fiscal and monetary policy.  In some existential sense it is a crime that we have run out of  fiscal and monetary ammunition to turn this  collapsing shock treatment around. It is a crime that 300 million people will be looking for Ben Bernanke, Fed Chairman, to pull a rabbit out of a hat in Jackson, Wyoming next week, when central bankers are meeting.  QE2 came from last years meeting but it created no jobs.

The same will be true after Labor Day when the much-ballyhooed Obama  speech on jobs is coming. I fear expectations are going to be terribly disappointed. Expect  rhetoric as in We have always been a Triple A nation and we always will be Triple A. That was a crime of speaking mush, when 300 million people know better, and wanted to hear something meaningful. Not to have bold, kick-ass leadership at a time of crisis is a sad sort of a crime. 



Accounting Gimmics Resurface as Growth Flounders at TheStreet ‘-- Accounting gimmicks -- once the staple of the boom-boom stock market -- are on the rise as companies attempt to convince analysts and investors that they are profitable despite a sluggish economy, according to industry watchers. Accounting techniques of Groupon and Zynga were under the spotlight recently, with the Securities and Exchange Commission instructing both companies to adhere to more stricter and conventional accounting standards, causing them to amend their IPO offer documents.

The creative metrics in the IPO documents of recent social-media IPOs are reminiscent of the dot-com bubble when stocks were valued on metrics like "eyeballs", while fundamentals like revenues and profits were ignored.

 

Rebekah Smith, director of financial advisory services at accounting and consulting firm GBQ consulting, says accounting tricks and schemes are likely to start unraveling as we head into 2012 and the lag effect catches up. "The typical accounting fraud goes on for about 18 to 26 months before it is uncovered. The frauds that took place in 2009 are not going to surface until later in 2011 or into 2012."

 

Financial statement fraud like the kind that took place at Enron are rare. The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners estimates that such manipulation accounts for only 4.8% of total fraud cases, although it causes the most financial damage, with the median loss being more than $4 million.

 

But accounting gimmicks that focus on non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures are rampant and they can be misleading.

Groupon, for instance, claimed that the marketing expenses incurred to acquire customers were "one-time investments" and hence they should be excluded from the calculations of operating income.

By that metric the company made an operating profit at $81.6 million in the first quarter of 2011, as opposed to an operating loss of $113.9 million under traditional accounting standards.

 

However, analysts were quick to point out the metric was absurd. "If you are going to capitalize acquisition costs, the onus is on you to show proof that acquired customers stay as customers (and actually buy products for many years)," Aswath Damodaran, Professor of Finance at Stern School of Business and a reputed author of textbooks on valuation, wrote in a blog post.

 

"With strong competition from other online coupon based companies (like LivingSocial), it is entirely possible that customers once acquired, are fickle and move on... If that is the case, the acquisition cost has a very short amortizable life and begins to look more like an operating expense," he wrote.

 

Zynga issued a restatement of its second quarter results saying it did not hew to accounting standards in the way it estimates how long people play its video games. That had the effect of understating revenues during the second quarter. While the impact of the Zynga's restatement itself was not substantial, it highlighted the murky accounting involved when it comes to new business models.  "There is a new market of publicly traded companies with business models that open more room for interpretation on how revenues and costs should be treated. We do see some aggressive accounting techniques" says Dan Mahoney, director of research at the Center for Financial Research and Analysis, a unit of MSCI that specializes in forensic accounting.

Smith of GBQ Consulting says there is a greater risk of financial statement manipulation at such new-age businesses. "We have a lot of new business models and people are still trying to understand how the finances of these companies work," she said. "Companies get to decide what to tell them[investors] on how their industry works. They decide what the metrics should be."

While in a traditional sector an astute analyst might call a company's bluff, it is harder when you don't have history as a guide. "We don't have a typical 10-year history. As a financial professional, you can't make a conclusion on what the financial metrics should look like," says Smith.

Mahoney at CFRA says companies with high valuations are also ripe for these sort of gimmicks, as they are under pressure to sustain valuations.

While in a traditional sector an astute analyst might call a company's bluff, it is harder when you don't have history as a guide. "We don't have a typical 10-year history. As a financial professional, you can't make a conclusion on what the financial metrics should look like," says Smith.

Netflix(NFLX) has been criticized in the past for its calculation of subscriber churn rate, which looks at the number of cancellations as a proportion of subscribers. Netflix's method has the effect of overstating the subscriber base, thus making the churn rate seem lower.

Analysts have over time learned to adjust for this inconsistency. And as it turns out, the movie rental firm has drastically limited the metrics it is willing to provide , saying that in 2012 it will no longer report churn, gross subscriber additions and subscriber acquisition costs.

Problem solved.

Stern's Damodaran says companies resort to these tricks because the market analysts simplistically assign multiples to a profit metric. All companies have to do is "make a change that affects earnings and you can change the valuation," he says. "Investors need to understand what Groupon's business model is, what their potential market is, who are they going up against."

Dow:Gold Ratio and the Secular Bear Market at Minyanville  Toby Connor Aug 23, 2011 ‘However low the risk, large potential trades are now in the stock market, not in playing chicken with the gold parabola.

 As I have been warning investors for many months, stocks have now entered stage III of the secular bear market. Gold, on the other hand, is now in the final parabolic phase of a 2.5 year C wave advance.

My best guess was that we would see a Dow:Gold ratio of between 5-6 before this C-wave ended. The ratio was at 5.71 as of today. I think we may still have a little further to go on the downside for
stocks and a little further upside in gold. So it's entirely possible that we could see a Dow gold ratio of 1:5 before the trends reverse.

However low the risk, large potential trades are now in the
stock market, not in playing chicken with the gold parabola.

Cyclically the stock market is now in the middle of the timing band for an intermediate bottom. Presumably a sharp bear market rally in stocks will trigger a regression to the mean, profit-taking event in the precious metals market (the D-wave).

D-waves almost always test, and sometimes marginally penetrate, the 200-day
moving average. I've illustrated in the chart above a rough guess as to where I expect the countertrend rally in stocks and the D-wave correction in gold to retrace.

Keep in mind that the fundamentals for gold have not changed. A D-wave is simply a profit-taking event triggered by an unsustainable parabolic rally. It has nothing to do with fundamentals. Once the D-wave has run its course, gold will enter a sharp snapback rally (the A-wave), after which it should consolidate for the remainder of the bear market in stocks.

Stocks, on the other hand, after what should be a very convincing bear market rally, will roll over and continue down into a final four-year cycle low, probably in the late summer or early fall of 2012.

Depending on whether or not the Fed tries to fight the cleansing process, or Ben Bernanke tries to stop the bear market with another round of quantitative easing, stocks should either test or breach the March '09 lows.

Either way I expect that 2012 will go down as one of the worst years in human history. Certainly in the same category as 1932, if not worse

Is the Market Forecasting War?   { Kind of a large dart board in terms of educated guessing in light of the perma-war bent of these perma-war bent nations; viz., ie., u.s., israel, europe, etc.. }  [ If so, and if this writers correct, all natos and americas misguided actions in the Mideast will be viewed as an attempt to weaken Arab nations for the benefit of war-mongering israel and will never be forgotten as such, to the substantial detriment of the dying so-called western alliance. ]



End Of Cycle Smelling Like Dow 3K, Gold 3K  Forbes /  Bill Bonner  Listen up, dear reader herein we announce an historic Daily Reckoning forecast.  Heres your north star, your compass, your GPS to the future. Print it out. Paste it to your refrigerator:

About the turn of the century, two markets turned Gold turned up Stocks turned down These major trends will end Whence they meet

Our view is that the bear market began in January 2000. The feds fought it off with two huge extravaganzas of spending the first beginning in 2001 the other after 2008.

Stimulus does wonders for stock prices but it no longer works for the economy that sustains them. For every dollar that the Fed has put to work to fight the crisis since 2008, for example, it has produced only 80 cents worth of GDP. It didnt work.

Fighting a credit contraction with more credit is a losing proposition. Eventually, investors are bound to realize that stocks are headed down. Eventually the bear market will resume. And eventually it will come to an end.

But when? Our guess is that it will end when the Dow and the price of gold arrive at the same point probably around $3,000. Whatever the number, youll be able to buy the entire group of Dow stocks for the price of one ounce of gold.

Of course, our view is a minority one. Warren Buffett doesnt buy it. Most investors dont buy it. We dont even suggest that you buy it, dear reader. Just remember it. If it turns out as expected, we want to be able to say We told you so.

And if it doesnt work out? Please have the grace to forget we mentioned it.

We would like to be able to predict the future, but weve never gotten the hang of it. Were just guessing.

But since were just guessing, we dont see why we should hold back.

Were also guessing that

the weight of so much debt is depressing growthand will soon depress stock prices too

that the economy is becoming zombified from too much government moneyespecially the military

that Mr. Market is ready for a long bear market anyhow; hes tanned, rested, and ready to go to work

that the US is following in Japans footstepstowards a long period of on-again, off-again recession

that the recession of 08-09 in the US never actually ended

and that stocks will go down over the next 5-10 years until they finally hit a real bottom.

Our guess is that gold goes down, shakes out the speculators and weak investors and then, perhaps a couple years from now, perhaps longer begins its third and final phase.

Arguments for Being in the Crash Camp   Conor Sen  Aug 29, 2011 ‘If you want to take risk, only own things you're willing to own in a down 20-30% tape, because that's what we could see over the next month.  ‘This piece is going to read a bit like an inner monologue in the hopes that seeing how I wrestle with conflicting ideas may help with your own thought process. One of the responsibilities of putting your thoughts online for public consumption is only writing when you think you have something worth reading. After awhile you accumulate a portfolio of pieces and can see common themes in your writing, the struggles you've had, and whether you've been on the mark or not. And this summer I've written primarily about three topics: 1) the 2011 consumer tech IPO names led by Groupon, LinkedIn, and Zillow, which I've done a reasonable job with, 2) pessimism about the debt ceiling deal being resolved early due to the intransigence of the 2011 GOP, which I also feel I analyzed well, and 3) the ongoing macro tug-of-war between compelling valuations and the escalating European debt crisis, which I've gotten wrong.

The closest I got was in a
June 24 piece where I wrote,

"My experience in 2007-08 taught me that in credit contagions understanding these dynamics is all that matters. Charts don't matter, macro data doesn't really matter, and until the contagion stops valuation doesn't really matter either. A $1 bill could trade for 70 cents if firms need to raise capital."


That's what I fought earlier this month, convinced that valuations for some blue-chip firms and not-as-bad-as-people-think macro
data would be good enough. It hasn't been. The problem is, I thought about the issue too narrowly, focusing only on European sovereign spreads without seeing the second-order effects those spreads would eventually have. As sovereign spreads for the European periphery widened, governments responded by imposing austerity measures, which have now flowed through to the point where Europe may be back in recession. Here's one measure of the trend in economic activity for the key European countries.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/LisaCatchJUNE2011/plummet1.jpg

With sovereign spreads stressed and economic activity rolling over, European banks have been under pressure, both the equity and of course the credits, with credit default swaps for European banks at wider levels than they were in 2008-09.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/LisaCatchJUNE2011/plummet2.jpg

The problem with this is that
credit spreads and equity prices are intricately linked, as this chart from Goldman Sachs shows comparing the spreads of the key iTraxx Main CDS index with the STOXX 600 index, Europe's equivalent to the S&P 500.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/LisaCatchJUNE2011/plummet3.jpg

And in a leveraged, interconnected world, a systemic problem somewhere flows everywhere else, as investment-grade and high-yield credit indices in the US show.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/LisaCatchJUNE2011/plummet4.jpg

The key question I've asked this week is: Can European banks, or Bank of America, fund themselves right now? The answer is no. That's a problem. If economic data were getting better, even on a green shoots basis, that might be one thing, but just about every data point we've gotten out of Europe recently, or Philly Fed here in the US, has been negative on a second derivative, and in many cases, a first derivative basis.

If we knew that fiscal and monetary policymakers were ready to fire bazookas and gas up their helicopters, that'd be a different story. In 2008-09 we got a big fiscal stimulus package out of China and a lesser but still sizable one in the US. Today we have both the US and Europe looking to cut spending, not increase it. On the monetary policy front, the ECB actually raised rates this summer, and Ben Bernanke's speech at Jackson Hole on Friday shows that either he doesn't think additional stimulus is needed, that it won't help, or that there's too much political
risk to take bold action, precisely the problem he said hampered the Japanese in his famous 2002 speech on deflation.

Most worrisome of all might have been
comments out of German Chancellor Angela Merkel last weekend, when she said, “Politicians can’t and won’t simply run after the markets. The markets want to force us to do certain things. That we won’t do. Politicians have to make sure that we’re unassailable, that we can make policy for the people.”

This is after a 25% drop in the DAX, and the leader of the country that holds all the cards in Europe says that she won't be bullied by markets. The Bernanke/Merkel/Trichet put may exist, but its strike price appears to be a lot lower than many thought.

When nearly every major bank in Europe has a credit spread north of 300bps or is headed there in a hurry, I'm not going to make the argument that so-so US economic data, solid
earnings, and attractive valuations will win out in the short term. Markets are cruel and merciless when it comes to leveraged institutions under financial stress. In 2008-09 to combat this we got TARP, the AIG (AIG) bailout, the stimulus package, the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP), a whole host of other short-term funding programs from the Fed, and finally in March of 2009 we got green shoots, second derivative improvements in the economy. Today we have, "Most of the economic policies that support robust economic growth in the long run are outside the province of the central bank." If the SPX went to 700-800 we would see multi-generational bargains for a whole host of names, many of which would trade at around cash value plus a 2-3 multiple on earnings. But structurally, there's no reason why it can't happen. If you want to take risk here, only own things you're willing to own in a down 20-30% tape, because that's what we could see over the next month.’

 

 

 

Stocks Woosh Higher in Vacuum, Now Perfectly Poised for Disappointment at The Wall Street Journal

 



 

What to Expect Next From the Markets at Minyanville  Jeffrey Cooper Aug 29, 2011  ‘Conclusion: It looks like a program was run using the least amount of dollars to goose the indices by focusing on some big cap names like Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Baidu (BIDU), IBM (IBM), and Caterpillar (CAT) on Friday. That is why the market is so dangerous here ‘   ‘From a technical perspective, the markets are looking dangerous right now. On Friday, a big buy program was run for Ben Bernanke’s speech after running the stops and getting traders short.

The S&P buckled after breaking the 1154 mid-point of the recent range, running the stops and trapping shorts for good measure on a Pinocchio of the key 1140 support,
as offered in the last report.

However a first hour low was scored in a mirror image of recent first hour highs and I sent
an alert to cover shorts. Combined with Bernanke’s speech, the flip was switched to save a poor weekly close when the S&P recaptured 1154.

A 10 minute chart of the SPY shows a downside ORB (a break of the opening range defined by the first 30 minutes) to flush the stops, and then an ORB Reversal back through the level of the downside pivot, followed by a powerful Reverse ORB on a thrust back through the top of the opening range implying a trend day to the upside.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/cooper/0811/29/ARCX_SPY_10%20--%20SPDR%20S&P%20500%20TRUST.jpg

The promise of the Catapult ORB -- first to the downside then back to the upside -- was further fulfilled on penetrating topside lateral resistance above 117 SPY.

In so doing, the notion of a Fed Cha Cha Cha was turned into more of a jitterbug for the shorts to run for cover.

The ensuing extension by the SPY led to a retracement back to the low of Thursday’s high bar.

Thursday gave a first hour high while Friday gave a first hour low as the robots play ping pong with tape.

One might fairly call Friday the “case of the missing ‘cha’".

Typically following Fedspeak, there is a sequence of 3 moves in opposite directions with the third move being the genuine bias.

In
Thursday morning’s report I suggested that the direction following the first hour on that day should be the bias into the weekend. There was a change of character in the dynamics which the Reverse ORB did a good job of identifying.

There is another short term change in character implying a continuation on Monday morning (whether that will define a first hour high again near the important 1180ish resistance remains to be seen).

That short term change in character is set up by Friday’s Reversal of a Reversal, or what I call a ‘Kaiser Soze’.

Why? The important Three Day Chart Turned down on Monday as the S&P traced out 3 consecutive lower daily lows. In addition, Monday saw the Weekly Swing Chart turn down.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/cooper/0811/29/SPXweeklyJulyb.jpg
Click to enlarge

The fact that the turndown was marginal and defined a low immediately in terms of both time and price was a bullish indication of a short term test and a potential short term “W” bottom on the daily charts.

The takeaway was a multi-day rally which played out, finally satisfying a kiss of the overhead 20 day
moving average which the S&P failed to accomplish on the first rally off the lows.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/cooper/0811/29/INDEX_$SPX_D%20--%20S&P%20500%20INDEX%20%7BDelay20%7D.jpg

The tag of the 20 dma, which played out on Thursday, was the first test of that trendline since the
Cascade Setup began in July.

A pullback to the 20 dma is referred to by many traders as the Holy Grail for its effectiveness in defining a reversal point -- especially the first time.

Like clockwork, the S&P was rejected by the 20 dma on Thursday in concert with a turnup of the Three Day Chart. This defined another high, setting up a continuation trade for Friday to the downside.

However, a funny thing happened when the bears pressed the case of the “yes we have no QE3 Bananas for you” speech at the Jackson Hole forum -- the S&P left a Reversal of a Reversal, stopping right at the 20 day moving average and flirting with an extension above it this morning. This would coincide with a breakout over a trendline from late July.

Not all breakouts are created equal, as we saw with the breakout to a new high in May this year and also on the short-lived trendline breakout into the important July 7th pivot high.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/cooper/0811/29/SPXdailyAprilb.jpg
Click to enlarge

My rule of thumb is that breakouts and upspikes in persistent bear phases are made for the selling. However, as the weekly chart of the S&P shows, the index will turn its weekly chart back up on trade over last week's high of 1190.68 (Thursday’s first hour high).

The normal expectation is that this would set up another high, but because of the pattern of the W bottom, the constructive behavior on last week's turndown of the Weekly Swing Chart, and because the S&P is poised to pop over its 20 dma this morning which coincides with a breakout over a declining trendline, there is a likelihood that the bears will keep their claws in their pockets and the bulls may snort a little. While I would give the market its due on the upside if the action is constructive following the turn up of the weekly chart -- which the futes suggest will occur near the open -- I am not too interested in being long more than a few hours and overnight.

Be that as it may, a further change in short term behavior and constructive action following a turn up of the Weekly Swing Chart suggests a move to/over 1208, the recent swing high.

 

At the same time the the 55-day panic point from the July 7th pivot window does not close until August 31st, so this is tricky here. However, the market is not a fine Swiss watch and when it comes to these cycles one must allow for plus or minus a few days. I think we should key off the behavior following a turnup in the weekly chart and the action following the first hour. If the trend is still in runaway down mode, another high could be defined quickly. I would exercise some patience here and let the market speak.

The cycles suggest another short-term plunge into September 3rd and then a bigger rally to 1220 or higher into/around the end of the first week of September to September 11th. It then suggests another plunge that undercuts the 1100 low to possibly as low as 1018ish. If a flush of the lows plays out under 1100, it could mirror the pattern from 1937 or 1938. In other words it could be a fractal of the first waterfall decline with a marginal undercut, or we could see a deep flush of the lows.

The takeaway is that not all W bottoms are created equal. Often a W V pattern plays out. This is the pattern that played out from the triangle/consolidation in late 2008 to the “V” in March ’09.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/cooper/0811/29/DJ-30%201937%20-%201938%20final%202.jpg

While the institutional bulls are caught long on the trap door setup from August, a little strategy is required: above 1180 and then 1200 could see the S&P test 1220ish. This marks the double tops from April/November 2010. When the market knifed though those prior highs, which should have been ultimate support if the trend was still healthy, the Head & Shoulders Top projection to 1150 at a minimum became irrefutable. Those prior peaks near 1220, now broken, should offer substantial resistance. However, with many funds trapped short and everyone looking for a test of the neckline near 1250/1260 and a test of the 200 day
moving average as it turns down, reconfirming the sign of the bear, it’s anybody’s guess if the sellers let it get back there -- at least in September. Perhaps a test of the 200 day plays out after a ‘W V’ and a flush of the lows, leading to a big “Bankers Rally”/Christmas rally to rescue bonuses, like in 2007.

Conclusion: It looks like a program was run using the least amount of dollars to goose the indices by focusing on some big cap names like Apple (
AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Baidu (BIDU), IBM (IBM), and Caterpillar (CAT) on Friday.

That is why the market is so dangerous here -- because despite big gains in these names when a big fund turns around to liquidate, they find few substantial bids on the way back down and these same
stocks can be down 4 and 5 points again with another 400 point DJIA down day. When exactly that next break comes is anybody’s guess, but cycles suggest it is sooner rather than later. I would be patient about being too long for more than a few hours to a day or two for the time being. With everyone looking for the Big Backtest of the 200 dma, it is also anybody’s guess as to when that arrives -- from here or following a flush out of the lows. With everyone eyeing perceived targets of S&P 1220 to 1250, will the market just burn out here with everybody waiting and with an undercut of the lows having to play out before a better rally into year end? It is interesting that the war cycle from 1990 -- when Iraq's invasion of Kuwait on August 2nd precipitated a market waterfall -- that there was a July pivot high as there was this year.

In 1990 there was no low until October. August 2, 1990 was 252 months ago, tying to the big September 3rd historic cycle (which includes the 1929 all time high). In addition we have the 120 month anniversary of 9/11 and that Spike & Reversal pattern coming up, so I think a lot of volatility remains in store and patience and discipline will be critical no matter how good a short term change in character appears.

Strategy: I would look to scalp long above 1170 and scalp short below 1160. Monday may hold up, but it will be interesting to see if we reach the high for the week today -- in bear phases the first hour of the session often times scores the high for the day. If Tuesday is a reversal day, I suspect the market will trend down into the Labor Day weekend. If the market rallies up into the weekend it should define another ledge and jumping off point.

Gold broke according to expectations early last week from just above 1900. Another short sets up in the 1820 zone if it hasn’t already topped with a turnup of the daily charts on Friday. Ditto iShares Silver Trust (
SLV). The next break should target 1660 and below that 1590.’

 

 

Obama's Legacy: A Failed Recovery & Double-Dip Recession Forbes / Mariotti  There will be no significant recovery in the United States of America while Barack Obama is President.  The evidence is overwhelming:  everything Obama has tried to fuel a recovery (with his Democratic allies in Congress) has failed.  Statistics claiming jobs saved by the stimulus package were mostly fiction, and cost American taxpayers about $275,000 each.  Nearly 2-1/2 million fewer Americans have jobs than before the stimulus.

Barack Obama has been President for 30 months2-1/2 years. He spent the first year obsessed with passing Obamacare, a program that doesnt create jobs, but might destroy a lot of them.  He bailed out GM, but many believe that his interference didnt save GM; it merely cost taxpayers an extra $15-20 billion, and stole from legitimate investors to buy off the UAW.  His broken campaign promises are too numerous to list.  At some point, his statute of limitations on blaming Bush runs out.  The latest joke is that the White House is that named the location of East Coast earthquake near DC Bushs Fault.

Obama himself said, “…that after three years, if the economy wasnt fixed he should be a one-term president.

Clearly the economic malaise started on George W. Bushs watch.  Its causes will be argued for decades, but most of them are traceable to irresponsible lending and excessive spending both by government and the American people.  The trouble that started before 2008 is directly traceable to actions (or inactions) of Bush and GOP allies in Congress.  They spent America into the start of the current deficit during his eight years in the White House.

But that was then, and this is now. Since Obama took office the situation has gotten much, much worse. Obama has run up the deficit at more than twice the rate Bush did. During the first quarter of 2011, the US economy barely grew at 0.4%that was followed by second quarters anemic growth of 1%.  This was during the period when the Obama recovery was supposed to be well underway.  Employment data is unremittingly terrible:  new jobless claims are stuck at 400,000+/- each month, with job creation well below what it takes just to absorb new workforce entrants.  More Americans have been unemployed longer than ever in our history.  And looking ahead, the news is not good.

This is Obamas failed American recovery, and in the near future, Obamas impending double-dip recession (thanks in no small part to his three consecutive years with Trillion-dollar in deficits that have inflated the national deficit to soaring heights$14+ Trillion.)  That legacy clearly belongs to President Barack Obama and with help from the Congress led by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi during 2008-2010.   Thanks to them, our country hasnt even had a budget since Obama took office.

The latest Obama Blame Finger pointing focuses on the Tea Party as extremists who have a problem with astronomical deficits as far as the eye can see.  (Pointing at Bush is getting a little old since hes been out of office for 2-1/2 years).  Obama needs a new scapegoat.  The problem with the Tea Party is that it is like the child in the fairy tale, The Emperors New Clothes. The child is reviled for pointing out that the emperor is naked.  Thus, the Tea Party is not wrong, just unwelcome.

Now Obama also wants to point the Blame Finger at the GOP House for the downgrade in the US debt rating by Standard and Poors.  It seems that he believes that everyone else is to blame but him. That downgrade was predestined by the combination of irresponsible spending and Obamas clueless attempts to throw money at a recovery to no avail.  Spending $1.50 for every dollar of revenue, running trillion dollar annual deficits is reason enough for a downgrade in the US debt rating.

Face it folks:  This is Obamas failed recovery. And if (or when) it comes to pass, this double-dip recession (just around the corner) is his too.

Make no mistake, there IS plenty of blame to go around.  About 75% of Americans are fed up with both Obama and Congress.   The conservative and liberal factions of the House and Senate behaved badly in the recent debt ceiling negotiation.  President Obama wanted to stay above the fray so he provided no leadership. He didnt even know how to bring the opposing viewpoints together.  He talked about bi-partisanship and consensus, but his actions disproved his words.

Until the president saw an impending disaster, he sat on the sidelines, afraid to do anything that might hinder his reelection campaign.  Then, when his intervention didnt help, and arguably hurt the progress, he grew impatient, petulant and angry.

John Boehner, however, did an admirable job trying to build a compromise deal on the debt ceiling, and get his own Caucus to support such a plan.  Except, Obama was attacked by his liberal base for even considering the grand bargain, so he came in and dumped another raise taxes more demand on Boehner.  Id have walked out too, which Boehner was right to do.

But at least they were arguing about the right thing: how much to cut spending and how.

The Tea Partys desire for fiscal responsibility is right, but it doesnt mean that tax revenue cant be increased.  It can; how its done is what matters.  The tax code desperately needs to be restructured.  Simply digging in on old positions doesnt help; it hurts.  The goal is to get the country working again, and grow our way out of this mess.

The one phrase of President Obamas that I agree with is Country First.  But John Boehner was the one who tried his best to put Country First.  If Obama truly chooses that as his 2012 campaign slogan, it will reek of hypocrisy.

If the members of Congress would put 1) country first, 2) constituents wishes next, and 3) personal agendas last, they might be able to work together to find a way out of this mess.

What happens in the Super-Committee of Twelve will be both revealing and predictive.  Either Americas Congressional leaders willor wontput "country first" and try to find common ground and reasonable compromises to lead America out of this mess.

Whatever happens, this failed recovery and impending recession belong to President Barack Obama.  His condescending explanations of why we Americans dont get it, how this will take a long time, this recovery, and his class warfare about millionaires and billionaires versus the common folk are all wearing thin.

This kind of rhetoric wont solve Americas problems.   It takes strong, informed, and experienced leadership to get through a mess like this one. We need a fixer, not a hypocritical speechmaker in the White House.  Barack Obama is not that man.  A wise man once told me, The person who got you into a problem is seldom the one who will get you out of it. Thats why there will be no recovery on Obamas watch…’

Deja Vu All Over Again: Total US Debt Passes Debt Ceiling… In Under One Month Since Extension  Sep 2nd, 2011 News (ZeroHedge) — ‘Remember when one month ago the US, to much pomp and circumstance, not to mention one downgrade, announced a grand bargain raising the debt ceiling from $14.294 trillion to something much higher, with a stop gap intermediate ceiling of $14.694 trillion, or $400 billion more. Well, as of today, or less than a month since the expansion, total US debt is at $14.697 trillion. Yep – the total debt is again over the ceiling, which means the US debt increased by $400 billion in one month. Score one for fiscal prudence. And while the total debt subject to the limit is still slightly less, at $14.652, one week of Treasury auctions and will be time for Moody’s to justify again why the US is a quadruple A credit.  http://www.usagold.com/pete/newsviews/DebtCeiling.jpg 

 

 

 

 

Global Recession: Right Here, Right Now at Minyanville  Mike Mish Shedlock Sep 02, 2011 Why are we talking about avoiding recession when the global economy is clearly in one and fundamentals are horrendous?

 

  It's time to stop debating whether or not the US or Europe is headed into recession. The facts show the entire global economy is in recession.

Ten Thoughts

1. Prior stimulus in the US is dead, having run its full course.
2. There is no incentive in the US Congress for more stimulus.
3. Austerity measures have yet to hit Italy and France.
4. Austerity measures will continue to bite Spain, Greece, Ireland.
5. Germany's export machine will die without the rest of Europe.
6. QE3 will fail much sooner than QE2 as interest rates already extremely accommodating.
7. Gold may respond well to competitive currency devaluation schemes.
8. The Eurozone is highly likely to breakup, although timing is unknown.
9. Global equities and commodities are priced for perfection.
10. Perfection is not happening.

 Talk of avoiding recession when the global economy is clearly in one and fundamentals are horrendous is sheer lunacy. For more, see Mish's Global Economic Trend Analysis

Albert Edwards Has Another Reason You Should Worry About Profits at The Wall Street Journal  Mark Gongloff

http://s.wsj.net/public/resources/images/OB-PM490_margin_K_20110906142805.jpg

Brendan posted earlier about how Citigroup is getting worried about profit margins. Theyre not alone Soc Gens in-house Dr. Doom, Albert Edwards, has a note today with his own take on the subject.

Shockingly, Mr. Edwardss take is downbeat!

While Citi focused on the impact of government spending on corporate profits, Mr. Edwards zeroes in on the recent collapse in productivity and surge in labor costs and what they say about margins:

Last week the BLS revised the unit labor cost rise in Q2 up from 2.2% to 3.3% quarter over quarter. US non-farm business unit labour costs are now rising by 2% year over year. That is very bad news for profits. Bad news for equities. And because the pace of ULC is a key driver of inflation (upwards in this instance), it is bad news for an increasingly criticised and divided Fed.

Since labour costs overwhelmingly dominate corporate costs, trends in productivity are crucial to the pace of growth of company profits. If unit labour cost growth is below unit price inflation, then unit margins are expanding. This, together with unit sales growth (and the less important unit non-labour costs), arithmetically determine profit growth.

Typically, productivity growth tends to ebb and flow with the economic cycle i.e. productivity tends to rise as the economy accelerates and vice versa. Therefore unit labour costs tend to fall sharply early in economic recoveries (as has happened recently), but typically begin to rise and eventually exceed output price inflation later in the cycle.

When unit labour costs start to rise quicker than output prices, as is the case now, this tends to exert an upward pressure on inflation as companies try to maintain margins. The pass-through of this upward pressure on inflation is largely determined by the pace of the cycle. If demand is robust, inflation will rise. If demand is weak and companies cannot pass on cost increases, margins and profits get crushed. That is the tipping point we have now reached.

And Wall Street analysts, in a truly shocking development, actually seem to be paying attention, Mr. Edwards writes:

[W]e should not be surprised at the pace of deterioration in analyst earnings optimism: in fact we have seen a near record rate of decline in US estimates over the past six months. In Europe things are even worse! As Andrew Lapthorne shows in this week’’s Global Equity Market Arithmetic, European (ex UK) the level of analyst optimism has now dived to 24%, a level only ever reached in recession.

 

 

 

Why Every Investor Needs to Time the Market Breakout  In tumultuous times conventional wisdom suggests buying then holding high quality, blue chip, dividend paying stocks for stability. The big idea is to avoid "timing the market" by extending the time frame beyond the current day, month, year or even decade. The value/yield camp tends to view volatile markets, such as that of 2011, as a chance to add to a portfolio while flighty "traders" panic in and out of stocks.The mathematical fact is those who have bought and held stocks over the last 3, 5 or even 10 years have lost money, either on an absolute basis or relative to inflation. Missing the 50% drop of 2008 didn't require intuition, charting or sophisticated financial analysis. Selling the news when Bear Stearns got sold for $2 got you out of the S&P500 well over 1,250. Selling the news of the Lehman collapse got you out of stocks well over 1,200 on the S&P. Once out, investors had two years to get back into the market below where they made their exit. I don't particularly regard stepping aside as trading; it's common sense. If investing in this manner is a mug's game, buying and holding forever, putting Blue Chips in a drawer forever, or dollar-cost averaging have been tantamount to financial self-abuse…’   This Is a Secular Bear Market and The End of Buy and Hold and Hope http://www.albertpeia.com/endofbuyandhold.htm Brian Rezny June 03, 2010 Buy and hold investing is a popular strategy, and the thinking is straightforward: in the long run, the market will offer returns, in spite of short-term volatility. In theory, this is a sensible idea. Unfortunately, this approach does not work in todays market. Why not? Of course, the market is down for this month. But thats not the reason this is not a buy and hold environment. Its not just about the recent correction, or the end of a market rally. The current trend fits into a much bigger picture and its a picture of a long-term bear market. Secular markets are long-term trends, typically lasting about 18 years…’  [ This was true and among my conclusions even back in 1977 when I did my MBA thesis: MBA Finance, NYU GBA, 1977. It most assuredly is glaringly true today.  Fed Economists Predict A 15 Year Bear Market For Stocks Aug 23rd, 2011 News (BusinessInsider)  ,  A Decade of Decline in Equity Markets Faisal Humayun [ This is a must read and explains how the markets been artificially propped, the dow relative to hard assets, ie., gold (dow/gold ratio), has actually crashed 78%, and comparable prospects for the next decade, etc.. ‘…The Dow Jones Index was trading at 11,357 levels at the beginning of the year 2000. More than a decade later (as of beginning July 2011), the index is at 12582 (11,297). Therefore, the index has gained 11%  (-0-% as of this day) in the last ten years…’ Yet, the inflationary dollar (declining) debasement rate was 31%.

Prepare For Recession And Bear Market at Forbes Sy Harding, Brace yourself for a recession.

Central banks around the world seem to be doing so, making little effort to prevent it this time around, resigned to letting the business cycle play out.

Stock markets around the world also seem to be doing so. In anticipation of economic slowdowns that wont slide all the way into recessions, stock markets normally decline only into corrections (declines of less than 20%). But they plunge into bear markets when recessions loom.

And global stock markets outside of the U.S. are already in full-fledged bear markets. That includes 10 of the worlds 12 largest economies, the exceptions being only the U.S. and Canada.

In order of the size of their economies, at the recent August lows the stock market in China, the worlds second largest economy, was down 23% from its November peak, Japan down 21%, Germany down 30%, France down 29%, the United Kingdom down 21%, Brazil down 33%, Italy down 39%, India down 25%, Russia down 28%, and Spain down 29%. The exceptions were the U.S. and Canada, which at their August lows were down only 16% (the Dow) and 18% respectively.

The recession and bear market are coming to the U.S. too, and may have already arrived.

You can be sure of that because its been one world economically for years, and historically global economies and stock markets tended to always move in and out of recessions and bear markets together even before their dependence on each other became so pronounced.

You can be sure of it because central banks seem willing to let it play out this time as in days of old, without intervention.

In the financial crisis of 2007-2008, it took a massive coordinated effort by global central banks to pull the world back from the brink of what would have been a total global financial collapse.

But when their economies began to slow again in 2010, without the world being on the brink of financial Armageddon, major nations outside of the U.S. were content to let the business cycle play out normally, arguing against the U.S. Feds decision to jump in with its QE2 stimulus efforts.

Indeed, while the Fed was making that massive monetary easing effort, central banks in Asia, Europe, and South America were tightening monetary policies and raising interest rates to ward off rising inflation, and to tackle the government debt crises created by their 2008-2009 bailout efforts.

The Feds QE2 effort pushed a flood of additional dollars into the global financial system, spiking the prices of commodities and paper assets like stocks, but had no lasting effect on even the U.S. economy.

This year, as global economies again slow significantly, central banks outside of the U.S. again seem content, or at least resigned, to letting the business and economic cycle play out, even though it likely means a global recession.

They refrain from saying anything too negative that might make matters worse, but for instance, this week the central bank of Brazil, which actually has one of the worlds strongest and fastest growing economies (but highest rate of inflation), warned that this downturn in global economies will not be as severe as in 2008-2009, but will be more prolonged.

The Financial Times reported Friday that As the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Developments forecasts showed on Thursday, the near-term economic outlook for the Group of Seven is dire, yet the mood is one of resignation. . . . Finance ministers across the G7 are searching for ways to explain their lack of likely coordinated action.

And even in the U.S., the Federal Reserve has been clearly transparent about its reluctance to intervene this time.

With the economy far weaker than it was when the Fed intervened with QE2 last year, Fed Chairman Bernanke continues to say the Fed has some tools it can use if necessary, but will wait and see. In his most recent speeches he cautioned that the Fed is limited in what it can do anyway, and called for Congress to step up to the plate.

Thursday evening, President Obama did call for Congress to step up to the plate and pass his $450 billion jobs bill.

But even if the proposal should get through the political grinder of the grid-locked Congress, it would be too little too late by the time it could be implemented.

So prepare for a recession and bear market.

Hopefully investors learned from the 2000-2002 and 2007-2009 bear markets that Wall Streets advice to diversify into defensive stocks wont do it. As Ive shown you in previous columns, so-called defensive stocks, defensive because they pay high dividends or have been around a long time, are dragged down just as far as any in a bear market.

Back in the old days the call of successful investors in times like this was that cash is king. Even receiving little to no interest income on cash was better than experiencing a 30 to 40% loss.

These days investors are better served. The availability of inverse mutual funds and inverse exchanged-traded funds, designed to move up when markets move down, make them the new king in bear markets. Cash may be better than losses, but the opportunities for 30% profits while others are experiencing 30% losses are even better.

In the interest of full disclosure, I and my subscribers have already taken double-digit profits from positions in the ProShares Short S&P 500 etf, symbol SH, and ProShares Short Russell 2000 etf, symbol RWM, and were looking at others.

 

 

4 Bearish Mega Trends   Simon Maierhofer, September 9, 2011, ‘In 2004, Daniel Simons of the University of Illinois and Christopher Chabris of Harvard University conducted an experiment that was as simple as it was fascinating.

If you want to be part of the experiment, watch this video before you read any further.

The Experiment

There are two groups of three people each. One group is wearing black shirts, the other group white shirts. The assignment is to watch how many times the players wearing white, pass the basketball.

If you counted 15, you are correct. But more importantly, did you notice the gorilla? While you were counting passes, a woman dressed in a gorilla suit walked slowly across the scene, stopped to face the camera and thumped her chest.

Half of the people watching the video with the intent of counting passes did not see the gorilla. The experiment illustrates the phenomenon of unintentional blindness. This condition, also known as perceptual blindness, prevents people from perceiving things that are in plain sight.

For most of 2010-11 Wall Street was so enamored by the magical powers of QE2 that it forgot about the 800-pound gorilla - the economy that wasn't improving. In fact, the economy continued deteriorating in plain sight.

There are five bearish mega trends that may draw stock prices much lower over the coming years. Here are the five mega trends (and what will make stocks rally in between).

U.S. Deficit

For a moment, take a mental journey with me back in time. We are now in early 2008. The major indexes a la S&P (SNP: ^GSPC), Dow Jones (DJI: ^DJI), and Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC) are slowly coming off their all-time high, but the collapse of Lehman Brothers has not yet hit the news.

Unbeknownst to most, the perfect financial storm is brewing. Once the storm hits, it is much worse than anyone expected. But, the eventual damage is limited. Why? Because, the government steps up and does what it takes to prevent the financial system from failing.

Today has the feel of early 2008. Another perfect storm may be brewing. Will the government be there to do what it takes to support 'too big to fail?' No! In 2008 financial companies were in trouble. In 2011 entire countries (look at Europe and the U.S.) are struggling to escape the grip of delinquency.

A Decelerating Generation

Starting in 2011, more than 10,000 baby boomers a day will turn 65, a pattern that will continue for the next 19 years. This dry humor cartoon encapsulates the problem retirees' face today:

Two older gentlemen are having a drink. One says: 'As a Baby Boomer, I never thought the boom would be the sound of my retirement accounts collapsing.' He'd like to sip on a nice Scotch while enjoying a steak, but has to settle for water and free bread sticks at Olive Garden.

Most retirees still haven't recovered from the lost decade. Let's make the term lost decade more personal. A 55 year old with $100,000 in his retirement account at the beginning of the year 2000 and a 6% projected rate of return, would have $201,419 today.

The S&P trades 20% below its 2000 level. Courtesy of the lost decade, that $100,000 in the year 2000 has turned into $80,000 today (perhaps less if invested too aggressively). In other words, many retirees may have to get by on less than half of their expected nest egg. In addition, their home, rather than being an asset (many considered it an ATM a few years ago), has turned into a liability.

It doesn't take much imagination to see that strapped retirees are bad for economic growth. When the focus is on survival rather than pleasure, sectors like technology (NYSEArca: XLK - News), retail (NYSEArca: XRT - News), and consumer discretionary (NYSEArca: XLY - News) suffer.

In addition, baby boomers that have been buying stocks for decades (think of all the 401k money) are now turning into sellers of stock.

Low Interest Rates

Low interest rates are great for the U.S. government because it reduces debt payments on Treasuries and businesses wanting to expand. Unfortunately, businesses don't feel like expanding or even hiring and for pretty much everyone else low interest rates are negative.

Some try to sell the idea that low interest rates are good for stocks (NYSEArca: VTI - News) because money will flow from low interest bonds into stocks in an effort to get a better return.

The chart below plots the Nikkei against Japan's version of the discount rate. The discount rate has been below 1% since 1995. At the same time the Nikkei has dropped from above 20,000 to below 10,000. Much of this happened during a raging global bull market. Imagine what a global bear market can do to U.S. stocks.

                    https://www.etfguide.com//contributor/UserFiles/8/Image/yahoo%20japan%20discount.gif

Low interest rates are a double negative because they reduce available spending for retirees who need to get as much income as possible to survive.

Coming to a Head

The above three bearish trends were highlighted in detail in various 2011 ETF Profit Strategy Newsletters. Due to those, and other mega trends, the Newsletter has been expecting a major market top.

For much of 2011 however, the expectation of a major market top was postponed until the ideal target range was reached. The April 3 ETF Profit Strategy update included a precise range for a major market top: 'In terms of resistance levels, the 1,369 - 1,382 range is a strong candidate for a reversal of potentially historic proportions. '

Why was S&P 1,369 - 1,382 a candidate for a reversal of historic proportions? The chart below, published by the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter in March and many times since, has the answer.

                   https://www.etfguide.com//contributor/UserFiles/8/Image/yahoo%20M%20pattern.gif

What you see is a giant M, or head and shoulders top. The right shoulder was made up of the parallel trend channel that connects the 2002 and 2009 low, with the 2000 high. In April/May the upper line of the trend channel ran through 1,377. Additional resistance was provided by Fibonacci levels at 1,389 and 1,369.

On May 2, the S&P briefly spiked as high as 1,370.58 before retreating and eventually dropping 18% in twelve trading days (July 25 - August 9). Once the S&P dropped below the 200-day SMA it entered free fall territory.

The July 28 ETF Profit Strategy update warned that: 'A break below the 200-day SMA and the trend line may trigger panic selling. One way to avoid missing out on a potentially big opportunity is to use the 200-day SMA at 1,284 as delineation between bullish and bearish bets - buy as long as the 200-day SMA serves as support, sell if it becomes resistance.'

From top to bottom (once the bottom is in), the S&P will have fallen more than 250 points. No doubt this kind of move validates a counter trend rally. When and where will this rally start and how high will it go?

The ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter provides a detailed outlook for the remainder of 2011 along with the target for a 2011 bottom and 2011 top. The Newsletter doesn't promise to get every turn of the market right, but it will identify the money-losing gorillas. Just imagine if you sold your holdings at the target range for a major top.

Why to Sell When Wall Street Says 'Buy' and Vice Versa ETFguide.com

 

S&P 1,100 And Lower - More Likely Than you Think Simon Maierhofer, On Friday September 9, 2011, ‘The S&P has been chopping around aimlessly for nearly a month. Wednesday ETF Profit Strategy update explained the reason and the outcome as follows:

'The aimless sideways trading and lack of powerful and predominantly one-directional rally suggests that the S&P is stuck in a mild up side correction to be followed by new lows. Range bound trading lulls investors into a false sense of security.'

Here are more than a handful of reasons why new lows are likely.

Up Trend Broken

The chart below shows the Dow Jones Industrials (DJI: ^DJI) since the March 2009 bottom. The DJIA weekly candle low touched the yellow trend line on different occasions before breaking through it on August 2.

The S&P 500 (SNP: ^GSPC) and Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC) adhered to a similar but not as pronounced trend line. But the S&P also had a key experience on August 2. The August 2 ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter update observed regarding a head and shoulders top that the: 'S&P is about to break below the neckline around 1,249. A break below this neckline would unlock a measured target of S&P 1,140.'

The fact that both the DJIA and S&P 500 broke through necklines that have held for over two years is less than encouraging.

In addition, the S&P's May 2 high at 1,370 occurred right within the sweet spot of a major market top. The ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter published the chart below on various occasions throughout March, April and May and preached that S&P 1,369 - 1,382 is the ideal target range for a major market top (chart below was featured in the April 5 ETF Profit Strategy update).

                                         https://www.etfguide.com/images/PDNewsletter_Images/5%20-%20April%203%20TF.jpg                           

Death Cross

The death cross is one of the most talked about technical events, that's why I don't put too much stock in it. However, there are two interesting facts about previous death crosses.

The 2000 and 2007 death cross occurred about three days before the S&P embarked on its next leg down. The 2010 death cross was actually a buy signal. However, it occurred after the S&P and DJIA bounced off the yellow trend line (this time the trend line was broken).

Seasonality

August, September, and October is the most bearish stretch of the year. September and October sport negative performance even in the pre-election year.

Sentiment

From S&P 1,370 on May 2 to S&P 1,258 on June 16, the S&P shed 112 points and sentiment measured by Investors Intelligence (II) and the American Association for Individual Investors (AAII) turned deeply bearish. The June 16 ETF Profit Strategy update took that as a queue to buy (long positions were closed at S&P 1,340).

From S&P 1,353 on July 7 to S&P 1,102 on August 9 the S&P lost 251 points, yet the II sentiment poll registered the second most bullish reading since the first week of May. AAII and II polls are often considered the 'dumb money.' If the 'dumb money' views last Wednesday's low as a buying opportunity, the 'smart money' should be suspicious.

VIX Pattern

If you have the charting capabilities, take a moment and plot the VIX (NYSEArca: VXX - News) against the S&P for the month of September - November 2008 and April - July 2010. If you don't have the time you may simply look at the chart below.

What we've seen in 2008 and 2010 is that a VIX peak did not coincide with the S&P bottom. The S&P bottom actually occurred against a lower VIX reading. If this pattern continues, we will see lower lows.

The August 14 ETF Profit Strategy update includes a detailed analysis of the VIX pattern, along with the time frame and target level for an expected turn.

The Script

Via more or less accidental chart surfing I found a striking resemblance between the 2007 market top and the May 2011 top.  This moved me to state in the July 17 Profit Strategy update that:

'There is a similar trend line and a triple top above the trend line. A break below that trend line could be a precursor of bad things. Next week the trend line will be at about 1,262.'

The S&P sliced through that trend line on August 4 and fell an additional 12% within the next four days (this ascending trend line is now a big target and resistance).

The August 7 Profit Strategy update revisited that script and concluded this: 'We now have a rough script; let's see how much lip the actors will add during the live performance (I.e. S&P downgrade).

The two main things I have taken away from the 2007 script are:

1) There will be a new low.

2) There will be a powerful counter trend rally to around 1,xxx (reserved for subscribers).'

Short-term Outlook

Wednesday's (September 7) ETF Profit Strategy update advised aggressive investors to short the S&P 500 as soon as it breaks below 1,173. This doesn't mean that stocks can't go higher, but shorting the S&P against major support/resistance (with a tight stop-loss above) is the only conservative way to assure participation in the next leg down…’

 

 

Ominous Bear Flag Pattern Suggests S&P 500 At 1,000  Scott Redler Talk of a possible Greek debt default grew louder as the day wore on Friday, with several euro zone officials commenting that they expect a default over the weekend. Naturally, the markets didnt respond positively to the news. Combine that with the terror alerts in New York City and Washington, D.C., this weekend for the 10th anniversary of 9/11, and it was a recipe for heavy selling.

The Dow closed off more than 300 points to finish another wildly volatile week, and based on the action and news, we could be headed for another huge Monday morning gap down. However, it was difficult to chase shorts at the end of the day at such oversold levels, because if the Greek default doesnt come to fruition and there is no major terrorist attack, those short positions would likely be in serious pain.

The news of a possible Greek default, which would be a historic first-time event, overshadowed any individual stock stories today. In isolation, the default of a relatively small Eurozone economy would not be the end of the world, but with other, larger Euro economies standing on extremely shaky ground (especially Italy), such an event could trigger a domino effect unlike anything ever witnessed in modern human history.

Conventional wisdom would tell you that gold shot through the roof on a day like this, but whispers about potential margin hikes pushed GLD to a lower open and seemed to keep the metal at bay. Even with the market tanking, GLD had a hard time ticking higher.

Technical Take

If you take a step back and look at the SPY chart on a daily and even weekly time frame, the obvious pattern that jumps out at you is a wide, but well-defined, bear flag. Previously, we noted the well-defined head and shoulders pattern that forecast the deep correction.

The only strategies that have worked, and provided limited risk, over the past month have been buying and selling extreme moves in both directions. Large gap downs on Monday and Tuesday had investors extremely bearishthe most bearish since September 2007which gave way to a steep short squeeze.

As weve seen before, that low-volume bounce/short squeeze was only transitory, as Ben Bernanke would put it. The oversold bounce we saw early in the week actually turned out to be a negative event for the bulls, because it allowed the market to work off its severely oversold condition and prime for another plunge.

After such a harsh move lower, which began around the time of the debt ceiling debate and S&P downgrade, it is natural for there to be some indecision in the indices. However, nobody would have expected the range to remain as wide as it has been. Resolution to this pattern will come at one point or another, and based in the in-bound move, there will be a powerful secondary move (more than likely to the downside). The lower end of the channel also lines up with the 200-week Moving Average, which will be another crucial technical level.

The measured move could take the S&P down to the 1,000 range if a worst-case type scenario plays out, which would involve a Greek debt default that triggered a domino effect in Europe that could likely trigger defaults in at least a few other PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain) nations as well.

http://blogs-images.forbes.com/greatspeculations/files/2011/09/SP-bear-flag-1024x675.png

Technically, we are also seeing some clues that tell us that all is not well with Mr. Market. Nearly every sector is currently mired in a bearish technical formation; there are no rays of light. The one area of relative strength early in the week, is starting to look ready to break down as well.

One clue we look to first is high-beta tech. If the market is healthy under the hood, the leading high-beta tech stocks will usually hold up well. We saw some relative strength early in the week from the likes of Apple Inc. (AAPL), Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) and Baidu.com Inc. (BIDU), but none of them were able to withstand the force of todays drop. AAPL and BIDU in particular look to be forming wedge continuation patterns, which generally resolve to the downside.

During the formation of the head and shoulders pattern, for example, the Industrials (XLI) and the Homebuilders (XHB) started to break down first, which signaled to us that the rest of the market wasnt far behind.

When selling is isolated and weak sectors drag the market down, it can be considered a buying opportunity for strong stocks. When selling is more across-the-board, its a sign to get of the way.

The measured move of the head and shoulder played out almost to a T (as you can see on the chart). Technical patterns arent always perfect, but they provide a good roadmap. Another thing you have to understand about technical analysis too is that it is largely a self-fulfilling prophecy. Moves in the market often play out simply because a large group of traders and investors are reacting based on the same set of rules.

Before the break of the head and shoulders, you had the more mainstream media start talking about the scary head and shoulders top pattern, which got both Main St. and Wall St. bearish. Now, everyone in the industry is talking about this ominous bear flag pattern, which is likely to make its rounds in the more mainstream media this weekend (along with the news about Greece).

Final Word

While doomsday talk is rampant right nowbetween a domino effect of European sovereign debt defaults to 9/11 anniversary attacksas traders we never trade based on assumptions. The traders who are consistent and profitable over the long haul are the ones who, first and foremost, limit their risk. At the end of the day today, for example, there is enormous risk for both longs and shorts.

If Greece does default and/or there is some sort of attack on NYC/DC, the market is sure to open sharply lower on Monday. However, if one or both of those events do not occur, shorts would be in for a massive squeeze. After such a harsh down day like today, it is best to take any profits you may have generated and take a firm seat on the sidelines.

Even if you are not involved in the weekend trade, there will be tremendous opportunity over the next few weeks to take advantage of this historic market volatility. Great opportunity comes with great risk, so be sure to, more than ever, stick to your personal trading rules and dont make big bets you cant afford to pay off.

 

 

Unprecedented Monthly Volume Sell-Off Suggests Now's the Time to Take Shelter at Minyanville Kevin A. Tuttle Sep 12, 2011 ‘Do not concern yourself if the market goes up today, tomorrow, or a month from now. The risk of entering is not worth the reward.

Over the weekend I had the pleasure of speaking with a very prominent European money manager overseeing hundreds of billions about the "across-the-pond" financial crisis unwind and looming hazard of a potential domino-effect coming to fruition. Without rehashing the entire conversation, the consensus is not "if," its "when" will the developing pressure finally blow. He actually went so far as to say it could truly begin unraveling within the next few weeks considering the catalysts currently in play.

The intent of providing the conversation synopsis is not for sake of fear, but understanding the potential ramifications. About three years ago, in one of my firm's quarterly reports, we opined on a unique situation in regard to the GDP measurements of Global Nations. It stated the unprecedented growth statistics from the 56 nations tracked.
History is currently being made in the sense that all the globally tracked economic growth nations (56), every one 100%..., are showing expansion. This lead to my next comment If the economic cycle pendulum swings in both directions what would happen if the inverse occurred? Are 2011/2012 the years we are about to find out? Maybe thats somewhat extreme, but yet is it possible?

We at my firm do not pretend to be intelligent enough to figure out all the nuances, catalysts, causes and reasons why the markets could fall apart; we
ll leave it to the team of economists and officials to attempt to sort that out. What we do instead is try to determine when the storm is coming and how to take shelter, which brings me to my point: Now is the time. Take shelter! Do not concern yourself if the market goes up today, tomorrow or a month from now. Clarity is key! Would you sail your boat into rocky waters with a potential hurricane looming because of your love of sailing? Is the risk worth the reward? For some, maybe; but for most, probably not.

Since the "2011 Channel of Indecision" broke on August 4, the seas have picked up dramatically and have begun swallowing ships. The markets have

What's the Long-Term Outlook for Stocks and The Economy? ETFguide   Simon Maierhofer, September 12, 2011, ‘The stock market's summer performance has been nothing but stunning. Seeing daily swings in excess of 4% has become as common as American fast food in China.

Sometimes it's helpful to step back and shift the focus from day-to-day changes to multi-decade trends. This kind of big picture evaluation shows whether events like this summer's meltdown are just a hiccup or confirmation of a long-term trend (change).

MORE THAN JUST A MULTI-DECADE FLUKE

Gradual changes are often so subtle that they are nearly invisible to the naked eye or novice observer. But, just because a change is gradual doesn't mean it's insignificant.

Let's take a look at the basic make up of the U.S. economy. A few decades ago, sweat-trenched U.S. manufacturing facilities were the most fertile, growth-producing environment on the planet. This growth was fueled by 'Made in America' products. The growth was organic and it was real.

The first red box in the chart below captures this period of powerful organic growth. It lasted from 1947 - 1966. During this period, GDP growth averaged 4.18%.

The second red box captures a period of growth fueled by low interest and financial engineering. During this period - from 1975 - 2000 - GDP growth averaged only 3.4%.

(The above chart was featured in the March 2011 ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter)

The Only Original Dow Component, Not some Hot Tech Stock

General Electric (NYSE: GE - News), a company that prospered during both phases, aptly illustrates the difference between both periods.

Until the late 1960s, GE was known for manufacturing quality, American-made products like refrigerators, washing machines, stoves, light bulbs, and jet engines. GE manufactured real products, provided real jobs, and made real profits.

Starting in the 1980s GE changed its focus from blue collar manufacturing to white collar alchemy. GE ventured into television and high finance. GE's focus shifted from building quality products to financing purchases of competitor products. Ultimately, it went from manufacturing real products to building a financial house of cards.

In August 2000, GE traded as high as $60.5 a share. In 2009 it was as low as $5.73 - a 90% drop. Today, it's hovering around $15. As you ponder this change in valuation, keep in mind that GE is the only original Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI: ^DJI) component, not some hot today cold tomorrow tech stock.

A NEW TREND IS BORN ... AND KILLED

Financially engineered (artificial) profits appeared to be the best new thing since sliced bread. However, GDP growth since 2000 has dropped dramatically, now only 1.71%. The post-2007 meltdown shows that an economy cannot be built on the financial (NYSEArca: XLF - News) and banking (NYSEArca: KBE - News) sectors.

It also shows that an artificial bull market is much more receptive to huge corrections. We've had the 2000 tech bust (NYSEArca: XLK - News), the 2005 real estate (NYSEArca: IYR - News) debacle, the 2007/2008 deflation of the financial sector, and most recently the summer 2011 meltdown.

If you think financially engineered profits are bad, brace yourself for what lies ahead. The hopes for economic prosperity (perhaps even survival) rest on Facebook, Twitter, Groupon, LinkedIn, Netflix, and the like.

Social networking isn't a proven business model, yet Facebook has an estimated market cap larger than those of Boeing, Home Depot, Walt Disney, Dell, Hewlett Packard, Costco, or even Goldman Sachs.

Hewlett-Packard employs 325,000 people, Home Depot 300,000, Boeing 160,000. However, Facebook cuts pay checks to only about 1,000 lucky employees.  Welcome to the future of high corporate profit margins and even higher unemployment.

Groupon has an estimated value of $6-9 billion, but its recipe of success is to coax businesses into providing discounts of 50 - 90%. Groupon is a classic economic leach that benefits by sucking the profits out of its client base and teaching its subscribers to buy only at discount prices. Welcome to a future of shrinking small business profits.

THE STOCK MARKET AGREES

The big picture fundamental outlook appears less than confidence inspiring. What about the big picture technical outlook?

The chart below (although small in size due to upload limitations) was featured in the March ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter and provides a big picture technical forecast. In fact, it's about as 'big picture' as it gets.

                    https://www.etfguide.com//contributor/UserFiles/8/Image/yahoo%20M%20pattern.gif  

What you see is a giant bearish M pattern, it could even be considered a head and shoulders pattern. The neckline is formed by the 2002 and 2009 lows.

To determine an upside price target, we drew a parallel channel that connects the 2002 and 2009 lows with the 2000 high. The April 3 ETF Profit Strategy update said the following about this trend channel and other resistance levels:

'For the month of April this trend line will traverse through 1,377. The 78.6% Fibonacci retracement is at 1,381.5. There is a fairly strong Fibonacci projection resistance at 1,369. In terms of resistance levels, the 1,369 - 1,382 range is a strong candidate for a reversal of potentially historic proportions.'

The S&P (SNP: ^GSPC) peaked on May 2 at 1,370.58 and has since lost as much as 269 points or 19%. The Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC) has held up slightly better, but no matter how you slice it, the stock market has given up more than a year's worth of gains within a matter of weeks. The VIX (Chicago Options: ^VIX) spiked to the highest level in over a year.

In addition, all major U.S. indexes broke below a trend line that has provided support on nine different occasions since the March 2009 lows.

This doesn't prevent rallies. In fact, based on our research, we should see a sizeable rally soon. However, odds favor that the stock market's trend has changed from up to down…’

Preparing for a Credit Crisis at Minyanville  John Mauldin’ “I am sure the Euro will oblige us to introduce a new set of economic policy instruments. It is politically impossible to propose that now. But some day there will be a crisis and new instruments will be created.”-- Romano Prodi, EU Commission President, December 2001

Prodi and the other leaders who forged the euro … knew a crisis would develop, as Milton Friedman and many others had predicted. They accepted that as the price of European unity. But now the payment is coming due, and it is far larger than they probably thought…

The Consequences of Austerity

The markets are pricing in an almost 100% certainty of a Greek default (OK, actually 91%), and the rumors in trading circles of a default this weekend by Greece are rampant. Bloomberg (and everyone else) reported that Germany is making contingency plans for the default. Of course, Greece has issued three denials today that I can count. I am reminded of that splendid quote from the British ’80s sitcom, Yes, Prime Minister: “Never believe anything until it’s been officially denied.”

Germany is assuming a 50% loss for their banks and insurance companies. Sean Egan (head of very reliable bond-analyst firm Egan-Jones) thinks the ultimate haircut will be closer to 90%. And that is just for Greece. More on the contagion factor below.

“The existence of a ‘Plan B’ underscores German concerns that Greece’s failure to stick to budget-cutting targets threatens European efforts to tame the debt crisis rattling the euro. German lawmakers stepped up their criticism of Greece this week, threatening to withhold aid unless it meets the terms of its austerity package, after an international mission to Athens suspended its report on the country’s progress.

“ ‘Greece is “on a knife’s edge,”’ German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble told lawmakers at a closed-door meeting in Berlin on Sept. 7, a report in parliament’s bulletin showed yesterday. If the government can’t meet the aid terms, ‘it’s up to Greece to figure out how to get financing without the euro zone’s help,’ he later said in a speech to parliament.

“Schaeuble travelled to a meeting of central bankers and finance ministers from the Group of Seven nations in Marseille, France, today as they face calls to boost growth amid increasing threats from Europe’s debt crisis and a slowing global recovery.” (
Bloomberg)


(There is an over/under betting pool in Europe on whether Schaeuble remains as Finance Minister much longer after this weekend’s G-7 meeting, given his clear disagreement with Angela Merkel. I think I take the under. Merkel is tough. Or maybe he decides to play nice. His press doesn’t make him sound like that type, though. They are playing high-level hardball in Germany.)

Anyone reading my letter for the last three years cannot be surprised that Greece will default. It is elementary school arithmetic. The Greek debt-to-GDP is currently at 140%. It will be close to 180% by year’s end (assuming someone gives them the money). The deficit is north of 15%. They simply cannot afford to make the interest payments. True market (not Eurozone-subsidized) interest rates on Greek short-term debt are close to 100%, as I read the press. Their long-term debt simply cannot be refinanced without Eurozone bailouts…

[Quick sidebar: If (when) the US goes into recession [We’re already in a recession!], have you thought about what the result will be? A recession of course means lower GDP, which will mean higher unemployment. That will increase costs due to increased unemployment and other government aid, and of course lower revenues as tax receipts (revenues) go down. Given the projections and path we are currently on, that means even higher deficits than we have now. If President Obama has his plan enacted, and if we go into a recession, we will see record-level deficits. Certainly over $1.5 trillion, and depending on the level of the recession, we could scare $2 trillion. Think the Tea Party will like that? Governments have less control than they think over these things. Ask Greece or any other country in a debt crisis how well they predicted their budgets.]

The Greeks were off by over 25%. And they are being asked to further cut their deficit by 4% or so every year for the next 3-4 years. That guarantees a full-blown depression. And it also means lower revenues and higher deficits, even at the reduced budget levels, which means they get further away from their goal, no matter how fast they run. They are now in a debt death spiral. There is no way out, short of Europe simply bailing them out for nothing, which is not likely.

Europe is going to deal with this Greek crisis. The problem is that this is the beginning of a string of crises and not the end. They do not appear, at least in public, to want to deal with the systemic problem of too much debt in all the peripheral countries…

Euro Breakup – The Consequences

The Euro Should Not Exist (Like This)

Under the current structure and with the current membership, the Euro does not work. Either the current structure will have to change, or the current membership will have to change.

Fiscal Confederation, Not Break-Up

Our base case with an overwhelming probability is that the Euro moves slowly (and painfully) towards some kind of fiscal integration. The risk case, of break-up, is considerably more costly and close to zero probability. Countries cannot be expelled, but sovereign states could choose to secede. However, popular discussion of the break-up option considerably underestimates the consequences of such a move.

The Economic Cost (Part 1)

The cost of a weak country leaving the Euro is significant. Consequences include sovereign default, corporate default, collapse of the banking system and collapse of international trade. There is little prospect of devaluation offering much assistance. We estimate that a weak Euro country leaving the Euro would incur a cost of around 9,500 to 11,500 per person in the exiting country during the first year. That cost would then probably amount to 3,000 to 4,000 per person per year over subsequent years. That equates to a range of 40% to 50% of GDP in the first year.

The Economic Cost (Part 2)

Were a stronger country such as Germany to leave the Euro, the consequences would include corporate default, recapitalization of the banking system and collapse of international trade. If Germany were to leave, we believe the cost to be around 6,000 to 8,000 for every German adult and child in the first year, and a range of 3,500 to 4,500 per person per year thereafter. That is the equivalent of 20% to 25% of GDP in the first year. In comparison, the cost of bailing out Greece, Ireland and Portugal entirely in the wake of the default of those countries would be a little over 1,000 per person, in a single hit.

The Political Cost

The economic cost is, in many ways, the least of the concerns investors should have about a break-up. Fragmentation of the Euro would incur political costs. Europes soft power influence internationally would cease (as the concept of Europe as an integrated polity becomes meaningless). It is also worth observing that almost no modern fiat currency monetary unions have broken up without some form of authoritarian or military government, or civil war.

Welcome to the Hotel California

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin
it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
Relax, said the night man, We are programmed to receive.
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave!

-- The Eagles, 1977

You can disagree with the UBS analysis in various particulars, but what it shows is that there is no free lunch. It is not a matter of pain or no pain, but of how much pain and how is it shared. And to make it more difficult, breaking up may cost more than to stay and suffer, for both weak and strong countries. There are no easy choices, no simple answers. Like the Hotel California, you can check in but you can
t leave! There are simply no provisions for doing so, or even for expelling a member.

The costs of leaving for Greece would be horrendous. But then so are the costs of staying. Choose wisely. Quoting again from the UBS report:

“… the only way for a country to leave the EMU in a legal manner is to negotiate an amendment of the treaty that creates an opt-out clause. Having negotiated the right to exit, the Member State could then, and only then, exercise its newly granted right. While this superficially seems a viable exit process, there are in fact some major obstacles.

Negotiating an exit is likely to take an extended period of time. Bear in mind the exiting country is not negotiating with the Euro area, but with the entire European Union. All of the legislation and treaties governing the Euro are European Union treaties (and, indeed, form the constitution of the European Union). Several of the 27 countries that make up the European Union require referenda to be held on treaty changes, and several others may choose to hold a referendum. While enduring the protracted process of negotiation, which may be vetoed by any single government or electorate, the potential secessionist will experience most or all of the problems we highlight in the next section (bank runs, sovereign default, corporate default, and what may be euphemistically termed civil unrest).

Leaving abruptly would result in a lengthy bank holiday and massive lawsuits and require the willingness to simply thumb your nose in the face of any European court, as contracts of all sorts would have to be voided. The Greek government would have to conveniently pass a law that would require all Greek businesses to pay back euro contracts in the new drachma, giving cover to their businesses, who simply could not find the euros to repay. But then, what about business going forward?

Medical supplies? Food?
The basics? You have to find hard currencies for what you dont produce in the country. Greece is not energy self-sufficient, importing more than 70% of its energy needs. They have a massive trade deficit, which would almost disappear, as who outside of Greece would want the new drachma? Banking? Parts for boats and business equipment? The list goes on and on. Commerce would slump dramatically, transportation would suffer, and unemployment would skyrocket.

If Germany were to leave, its export-driven economy would be hit very hard. It is likely that the
new mark would appreciate in value, much like the Swiss Franc, making exports from Germany even more costly. Not to mention potential trade barriers and the serious (and probably lengthy) recession that many of their export and remaining Eurozone trade partners would be thrown into. And German banks, which have loaned money in euros, would have depreciating assets and would need massive government support. (Just as they do now!)..

Ray Dalio and his brilliant economics team at Bridgewater have done a series of reports on a plan for Europe. Basically, it involves deciding which institutions must be saved (and at what cost) and letting the rest simply go their own way. If they are
bankrupt, then so be it. Use the capital of Europe to save the important institutions (not shareholders or bondholders). Will they do it? Maybe.

The extraordinarily insightful and brilliant John Hussman recently wrote on a similar theme. He is a must-read for me. Quoting:

The global economy is at a crossroad that demands a decision whom will our leaders defend? One choice is to defend bondholders existing owners of mismanaged banks, unserviceable peripheral European debt, and lenders who misallocated capital by reaching for yield and fees by making mortgage loans to anyone with a pulse. Defending bondholders will require forced austerity in government spending of already depressed economies, continued monetary distortions, and the use of public funds to recapitalize poor stewards of capital. It will do nothing for job creation, foreclosure reduction, or economic recovery.

The alternative is to defend the public by focusing on the reduction of unserviceable debt burdens by restructuring mortgages and peripheral sovereign debt, recognizing that most financial institutions have more than enough shareholder capital and debt to their own bondholders to absorb losses without hurting customers or counterparties but also recognizing that properly restructuring debt will wipe out many existing holders of mismanaged financials and will require a transfer of ownership and recapitalization by better stewards. That alternative also requires fiscal policy that couples the willingness to accept larger deficits in the near term with significant changes in the trajectory of long-term spending.

In game theory, there is a concept known as Nash equilibrium (following the work of John Nash). The key feature is that the strategy of each player is optimal, given the strategy chosen by the other players. For example, I drive on the right / you drive on the right is a Nash equilibrium, and so is I drive on the left / you drive on the left. Other choices are fatal.

Presently, the global economy is in a low-level Nash equilibrium where consumers are reluctant to spend because corporations are reluctant to hire; while corporations are reluctant to hire because consumers are reluctant to spend. Unfortunately, simply offering consumers some tax relief, or trying to create hiring incentives in a vacuum, will not change this equilibrium because it does not address the underlying problem. Consumers are reluctant to spend because they continue to be overburdened by debt, with a significant proportion of mortgages underwater, fiscal policy that leans toward austerity, and monetary policy that distorts financial markets in a way that encourages further misallocation of capital while at the same time starving savers of any interest earnings at all.

We cannot simply shift to a high-level equilibrium (consumers spend because employers hire, employers hire because consumers spend) until the balance sheet problem is addressed. This requires debt restructuring and mortgage restructuring. While there are certainly strategies (such as property appreciation rights) that can coordinate restructuring without public subsidies, large-scale restructuring will not be painless, and may result in market turbulence and self-serving cries from the financial sector about global financial meltdown. But keep in mind that the global equity markets can lose $4-8 trillion of market value during a normal bear market. To believe that bondholders simply cannot be allowed to sustain losses is an absurdity. Debt restructuring is the best remaining option to treat a spreading cancer. Other choices are fatal.

You think the worlds central banks and main institutions are not worried? They are pulling back from bank debt in Europe, as are US money-market funds. (Note: I would check and see what your money-market funds are holding how much European bank debt and to whom? While they are reportedly reducing their exposure, there is some $1.2 trillion still in euro-area institutions that have PIIGS exposure.)

Look at the following graph from the St. Louis Fed. It is the amount of deposits at the US Fed from foreign official and international accounts, at rates that are next to nothing. It is higher now than in 2008. What do they know that you don’t?

The Slow March to Recession in the US..

John Hussman, in the same report, offers the chart below, which is a variant on themes I have highlighted in past issues, but with his own personal twist. It is a combination of four Fed indices and four ISM reports. And it has been reliable as a predictor of recessions – one of which it strongly suggests we are either in or heading into.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/LisaCatchJUNE2011/fred2.jpg

And recent revisions to economic
data suggest that companies are going to have even more trouble making those powerhouse earnings that are being estimated. As Albert Edwards of Societe Generale reports this week:

“… at the start of 2011, productivity trends took a remarkable turn for the worse especially compared to what was initially reported. An initial estimate that Q1 productivity grew by 1.8% was transformed to show a decline of 0.6%. A slight 0.7% rise in Q1 ULC (unit labor costs) was transformed to show a staggering surge of 4.8%! In addition to that 4.8% rise, ULC rose a further 2.2% in Q2. But the news gets even worse Last week the BLS revised the ULC rise in Q2 up from 2.2% to 3.3% QoQ. US non-farm business unit labor costs are now rising by 2% yoy. That is very bad news for profits. Bad news for equities. And because the pace of ULC is a key driver of inflation (upwards in this instance), it is bad news for an increasingly criticized and divided Fed.

Preparing for a Credit Crisis

There is so much that could push us into another 2008 Lehman-type credit crisis..

I did an interview with good friends David Galland and Doug Casey of Casey Research yesterday. They are decidedly more bearish than I am, so wanted an optimist to sit on their panel. But they forced me to admit that some of my optimism depends on the probability of US political leaders doing the right thing. ..

But whether you want to make it 50-50 to 70-30 or (pick a number), there is a reasonable prospect of another credit crisis. So what should you do?

First, think back to 2008. Were you liquid enough? Did you have enough cash? If not, then think about raising that cash now. When the crisis hits, you have to sell what you can for what you can get, not what you want for reasonable prices

Don't Trust Wall Street and this Market  ETFguide  [ I couldn’t say this better myself! Take heed! My sentiments exactly, except far worse is in store! ] Simon Maierhofer, September 13, 2011, ‘The chicken is clueless about the egg's fate. Will it hatch or become an omelet?

Wall Street is clueless about their forecasts, will they 'hatch' or become egg on their face? Who cares; as long as it sounds good at the time, Wall Street's opinions are promoted by the media. Is this a haphazard approach? Judge for yourself.

The most recent Wall Street blunder was the over emphasis on positive earnings in April. Here are some of the headlines Wall Street and the financial media featured late April 2011:

Morgan Stanley shares rise as earnings beat estimates

Stocks, commodities rise as earnings top estimates

Leading U.S. indicators, consumer confidence gain as fuel costs discounted

World revs up U.S. profits

The Global economy is improving

The S&P breaks out

The Dow's going to 20,000

Sales growth the big surprise on Wall Street

Buffett says odds of another U.S. banking crisis low

Equities finally seeing light on the economy

Stocks find sea of tranquility

Flawed Reasoning

The chart below, featured in the September 2010 ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter, reveals the flawed reasoning behind Wall Street's expectations. It plots Earnings per Share (EPS) against GDP and U-6 unemployment numbers.

                https://www.etfguide.com//contributor/UserFiles/8/Image/EPS%20Growth%20Yahoo.gif

Notice how earnings for Q1, Q2, and Q3 2011 were supposed to reach a new all-time high. There were at least four reasons why record high EPS estimates were not long-term bullish:

1) GDP was contracting, U-6 (and every other measure of unemployment) did not signal a recovery. Every spike in EPS would be temporary and unsustainable.

2) EPS estimates are just a projection and are about as valuable as an un-hatched egg.

3) The last time EPS reached an all-time high was in Q2 2007. We all know what happened thereafter.

4) EPS or P/E ratios can be distorted via financial trickery. Financials (NYSEArca: XLF - News) and banks (NYSEArca: KBE - News) took advantage of this when accounting rule FASB 157 was changed on April 2, 2009. This allowed banks to hide trillions of dollars of unrealized mortgage losses in an accounting loophole that doesn't affect their income statement and earnings. Thus some of banks' losses were included in earnings numbers.

The ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter's conclusion was simple and straight to the point: 'Buying at current prices with the expectation of long-term gains is almost certain to deliver despair and tears.'

Proceed With Caution

P/E ratios or EPS aren't a short-term timing tool and didn't prevent stocks from rallying since the above analysis was featured in the September ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter.

Nevertheless, a major market top was expected. The April 3 ETF Profit Strategy update put it succinctly this way: 'In terms of resistance levels, the 1,369 - 1,382 range is a strong candidate for a reversal of potentially historic proportions. Bullish bets should be watched very carefully, especially once stocks move above 1,356.'

The Summer 2011 meltdown erased all gains going back as far as December 2009. Yes, over 18 months of gains were eliminated within a matter of weeks.

Financial Serial Offender

If Wall Street was subject to the 'three strikes you're out' rule, there wouldn't be any financial offices in New York. By now it's common knowledge that Wall Street was overly optimistic in 2007 - right before the financial collapse - and overly pessimistic at the March 2009 lows - the beginning of a 100% + rally for the major indexes a la S&P (SNP: ^GSPC), Dow Jones (DJI: ^DJI) and Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC).

More recent financial offenses include Wall Street's ill-advised fascination with silver in late April. On April 27 the Wall Street Journal ran a front-page article entitled 'Silver rush spreads to stock market.' The commentary read as follows: 'The metals are increasingly considered attractive as a permanent store of value that doesn't diminish like paper currencies.'…’

Stock Market Secret Word of the Day Is 'Delusion' at The Wall Street Journal  Paul Vigna  Once again, markets are eagerly swallowing the soothing words of European leaders, just as they have swallowed the soothing words of Chinese officials, Tim Geithner, etc., etc.

The Dow is up about 190 points, the S&P is up 1.8%, and the Nasdaq is up 2%, after the Conference Call to Save the Universe ended with all sides agreeing that Greece should never leave the eurozone and was doing what it could to get its next bailout fix.

Peter Boockvar at Miller Tabak is not impressed:

Bottom line, Greece is likely going to get its next 8 billion-euro tranche in 2 weeks but apparently Merkel, Sarkozy and Papandreou still dont like paying attention to the bond market, where the 1 year [note]  in Greece is yielding 141.8%, the 2 year is yielding 74.5% and the 10 year is yielding 25.7%.

This says of course that the only lifeline the Greek government has is thru the generosity of its neighbors as they have almost zero chance of paying back in full all that is owed.

I mentioned Merkel being in fantasyland yesterday and delusion is the word today that comes to mind after seeing these Greek headlines.

One would think at this point that Greece would want a more pronounced debt restructuring in order to slash their debt instead of playing this game of pretend because theyre afraid to hurt the feelings of bondholders.



Zoellick: World economy in new danger zone 

 

Geithner: Economy In “An Early Stage” Of Crisis Sep 14th, 2011 08:47 by News  (RealClearPolitics) — Jim Cramer, CNBC host: “Now let’s talk about the fact that you said the economy is weak. You put out a jobs plan. The New York Times today basically gives its obituary. ‘Tax plan for jobs bill.’ Familiar ring. Meaning the GOP will not back this. Is this dead on arrival?”

Tim Geithner, U.S. Secretary of Treasury: Absolutely not. I think that theres no reason now for the Congress of the United States not to act to help strengthen growth in the near term. Its the conservative, prudent, responsible thing to do. You can think of it as protection against Europe.

Cramer: Okay.

Geithner: You can think of it as insurance against weaker growth going forward. And you got to think about the alternatives. If Congress or Washington is incapable of acting, then policy will be damaging to growth because what youll have is a deeper, steeper contraction in fiscal support than is prudent for an economy at this early stage of the crisis given the shocks we face. You know, life is about choices. Life is about alternatives. [source] PG View: While this may be a significant admission on the part of the Treasury Secretary; in reality this may be the early stage of a crisis within the broader well-established crisis.

Can the U.S. Sidestep Contagion with Europe? ETFguide  [ Short answer: NO! ] ‘… SINKING INCOME LEVELS Even without Europe's problems, the U.S.' reputation for being the land of milk and honey has been declining. Household income, according to the Census Bureau's annual report on living standards, fell for the third consecutive year and on an inflation adjusted basis, incomes have retreated back to levels seen 15-years ago. Median household income was at a mere $49,445 in 2010. Full-time workers also experienced sagging incomes, which are lower today than in 1978, after adjusting for inflation. Furthermore, the poverty rate for Americans increased to 15.1% of the population. Will Europe's crisis help the U.S. economy end a multi-decade trend of falling incomes and rising poverty? STILL BLIND TO RECESSION What do economists have to say about all of this? As a collective group, economists still deny the existence of an economic recession and their off-the-mark financial projections show it. Instead of taking a sober and realistic view of the economy, they see growth, growth and more growth. Economists with the National Association for Business Economics (NABE) predicted 2.8% expansion for the U.S. economy in May, but have since scaled back that forecast to 1.7%. For 2012, the group is projecting 2.3% growth. The NABE has been likewise wrong about the unemployment rate. They were projecting a jobless rate of 8.7% for the remainder of 2011 and 8.2% for next year. Instead, nationwide unemployment has remained above 9% and if we account for marginally attached workers along with unemployed self-employed workers the actual national jobless rate is probably closer to 20%. It's important to remember the NABE's survey was completed before the White House's unveiling of a $447 billion plan to stimulate job growth through (more) government spending and tax cuts. No doubt, once economists factor in the President's latest plan, they'll re-revise their economic forecasts bullishly upward to agree with their perennial growth bias…’

 

 

Minyanville's T3 Daily Recap: Market Squeeze Continues, But Was it a Trap?  By T3Live.com Sep 14, 2011, ‘After a quick rinse in the first hour of trading Wednesday, the squeeze was back on as the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) surged 4 points (3.4%) from low to high. Weak shorts were forced to cover, and it was off the races for stocks. But just when it seemed all was well with the market, a harsh pull-in during the last half-hour of trading erased nearly half of those gains. We have seen this type of behavior before during this wide range consolidation in the market, and it typically leads to further downside. A teleconference between German, Greek, and French leaders today resulted in assurances that Greece would remain part of the Eurozone, but the same problems still exist on the troubled continent. There is a crisis of confidence starting occuring among European banks, with account holders keen to protect themselves from calamity. This is exacerbating previous capitalization concerns, which were confirmed this morning when French banks were downgraded. Today's action could have been another clever ploy to suck in longs while relieving some of the oversold condition of the market. Risk is high in both directions in this environment, and, as we have stated repeatedly over the last two weeks, it's best to keep your trading light at this stage.’

David Rosenberg: Its Time To Start Calling This For What It Is: A Modern Day Depression Zero Hedge | You know youre in a depression when interest rates go to zero and there is no revival in credit-sensitive spending. September 14, 2011

By now only the cream of the naive, Kool-Aid intoxicated crop believes that the US is not in either a deep recession, or, realistically, depression. For anyone who may still be on the fence, here is David Rosenbergs latest letter which will seal any doubts for good. It will also make it clear what the fair value of the stock market is assuming QE3 fails, which it will, and the market reverts to trading to fair value as predicated by bond spreads. To wit: If the Treasury market is correct in its implicit assumption of a renewed contraction in the economy, then we could well be talking about corporate earnings being closer to $75 in 2011 as opposed to the current consensus view of over $110. In other words, we may wake up to find out a year from now that whoever was buying the market today under an illusion of a forward multiple of 10x was actually buying the market with a 15x multiple. And since we are in the throes of a deep depression and a 10x multiple is more than generous, applying that to $75 in S&P earnings, means that the fair value of the S&P is well leave that to our readers.

From Breakfast with Rosie, of Gluskin Sheff

We just came off the weakest recovery on record despite the massive amounts of stimulus that the U.S. government has delivered in so many ways. That the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note is down to 2% already speaks volumes because the last time we were at these levels was back in December 2008 when the downturn was already 12 months old. A period like the one we have endured over the past six months when bank shares are down 30% and the 10- year note yield is down 130 basis points has never in the past foreshadowed anything very good coming down the pike. If market rates are at Japanese levels, or at 1930s levels, then its time to start calling this for what it is: A modern day depression.

Look, that entire period from 1929-1941 saw several quarters of huge bungee-jump style GDP growth and countless tradable rallies in the stock market.

But that misses the point.

The point being that a depression, put simply, is a very long period of economic malaise and when the economy fails to respond in any meaningful or lasting way to government stimulus programs. A series of rolling recessions and modest recoveries over a multi-year period of general economic stagnation as the excesses from the prior asset and credit bubble are completely wrung out of the system. In baseball parlance, we are in the third inning of this current debt deleveraging ball game.

You know youre in a depression when interest rates go to zero and there is no revival in credit-sensitive spending.

The economy is in a depression when the banks are sitting on nearly $2 trillion of cash and yet there is no lending going onto the private sector. Its otherwise known as a liquidity trap.

Depressions usually are caused by a bursting of an asset bubble and a contraction in credit, whereas plain-vanilla recessions are typically caused by inflation and excessive manufacturing inventories. You tell me which fits the bill today.

When almost half of the ranks of the unemployed have been looking for a job fruitlessly for at least six months, you know you are in something much deeper than a garden-variety recession. True, we cant see the soup lines; the soup lines are in the mail 99 weeks of unemployment cheques for over 10 million jobless Americans. Dont be lulled into the view that we are into anything remotely close to a normal economic cycle.

Basically, in a depression, secular changes take place. Attitudes towards debt, discretionary spending and homeownership are altered for many years, or at least until the scars from the traumatic experience with defaults and delinquencies fade away. That is why we saw existing home sales slide to 15- year lows and new home sales to record lows despite the fact that mortgage rates have tumbled to their lowest levels in modern history. There is no economic model that would tell you that declining mortgage rates should lead to lower home sales.

More fundamentally, in a recession, the economy is revived by government stimulus. In depressions, the economy is sustained by government stimulus. There is a very big difference between these two states.

In a recession, everything would be back to a new high nearly three years after the initial contraction in the economy. This time around, everything from organic personal income to employment to real GDP to home prices to corporate earnings to outstanding bank credit are still all below, to varying degrees, the levels prevailing in December 2007.

Lets be clear: After all the monetary, fiscal and bailout stimulus, the economy should be roaring ahead, as would be the case if the economy were coming out of a normal garden-variety recession. The fact that there has been no sustained response to all these efforts by the government to turn things around is testament to the view that this is not actually a traditional recession at all, but something closely resembling a depression. That, my friends, is exactly what the bond market is signaling, with Treasury yields rapidly approaching Japanese levels. Just because the stock market embarked on a stimulus-led speculative two-year rally, which ended abruptly in April 2011 does not change that fact.

For all the chatter about whether the recession that started in December 2007 ended in mid-2009, here is what you should know about the historical record. The 1930s depression was not marked by declining quarterly GDP data every single quarter. In fact, the technical recessionary aspect to the initial period following the asset and credit shock goes from the third quarter of 1929 to the first quarter of 1933.

I can understand how emotional the debate can get over whether or not we have actually just stumbled along some post-recession recovery path or whether or not this is actually a depression in the sense of a downward trend in economic activity merely punctuated with noise that is influenced by recurring rounds of government intervention. The reality is that the Fed cut the funds rate to zero, as was the case in Japan, to little avail. Then the Fed tripled the size of its balance sheet again with little sustained impetus to a broken financial system. Government deficits of nearly 10% relative to GDP, or double what FDR ever ran during the 1930s, have obviously fallen flat in terms of providing any lasting impact to the economy.

This is going to sound like a broken record but it took a decade of parabolic credit growth to get the U.S. economy into this deleveraging mess and there is clearly no painless quick fix towards bringing household debt into historical realignment with the level of assets and income to support the prevailing level of liabilities. We are talking about $5 trillion of excess debt that has to be extinguished either by paying it down or by walking away from it (or having it socialized). Look, we can understand the need to be optimistic, but it is essential that we recognize the type of market and economic backdrop we are in.

The markets are telling us something valuable when (after a period of unprecedented government bailouts, incursions and stimulus programs) the yield on the 5-year note is south of 1% and the 10-year is down to 2%. Instead of contemplating over how attractively priced equities must be in this environment, market strategists and commentators would bring a lot more to the table if they tried to decipher what the macro message is from this price action in the Treasury market. Conducting stock market valuation analysis based on unrealistic consensus earnings assumptions does nobody any good, especially when these estimates are in the process of being cut, and at a time when the Treasury market is telling us we are the precipice of another recession.

If the Treasury market is correct in its implicit assumption of a renewed contraction in the economy, then we could well be talking about corporate earnings being closer to $75 in 2011 as opposed to the current consensus view of over $110. In other words, we may wake up to find out a year from now that whoever was buying the market today under an illusion of a forward multiple of 10x was actually buying the market with a 15x multiple.

Hows that for a reality check?

This augers for capital preservation, defensive orientation in the equity market and a focus on income-yielding securities; something weve been advocating for some time.

 


 

How American Taxpayers Could End Up Paying for ECB Liquidity Flood at The Wall Street Journal 

 

Company Analysts Hop On Bandwagon Of Gloom  [ Yes! This is in contradistinction to the funny money bandwagon of irrational exuberance that has swept up nations worldwide who have now joined the ranks of the fraudulent american manipulated markets of non-value asset / security pricing which will end quite badly as always! ] 

 

 

How Greece Is Mocking the Rest of the World  [ Well, let’s get real here! There’s plenty to mock in this world, and Greece is hardly the nation to be doing the mocking. I think it’s the markets that are mocking the rest of the world’s stupidity for buying into this false reality / obfuscation / fraud, particularly by way of the now pervasive worldwide acceptance of the american strategy of currency debasement which really is a fraud facilitator because it masks to all but the intelligent few the underlying economic weakness and decline. A simplistic example, though not perfect, is apropos here: a company sells a product for 1 dollar which costs 1 dollar to make (assuming arguendo to cover fixed expenses - no profit). The fed over-printing / creating dollars like mad to the point where it now takes 2 dollars to render the same purchasing power of  1 dollar when the goods were produced. The company sells the products for 2 dollars (the previous equivalent of 1 dollar before debasement). The company is now showing earnings 1 dollar per unit sold, yet in real terms, they’ve gotten no more than the equivalent of that 1 dollar per unit. (If you’ve been to the grocery store lately, particularly the last 1-2 months, I’ve found meats, etc., to be up 50-100%, etc.). The same obfuscating manipulations are applicable to assets generally, and to those pieces of paper called stocks which are even ‘worse for the wear’ since churn-and-earn commissions at lightning computerized speed are being subtracted from this illusory ‘enhanced value’ which in reality doesn’t exist at all. ( Such manipulations from currency translation also provide ‘arbitrage opportunities’ though similarly largely ultimately subtracted from no real value being created. ) This is why fraudulent wall street loves the fed’s QE’s and dollar debasement / over-printing / creating and also why it’s been a dismal failure and a net negative in real economic terms as seen on main street and in the desimation of the middle class and growing ranks of the poor. In the analysis of securities, this would be considered ‘the quality of earnings factor’ that goes into the assignment of a p/e multiple to the projected earnings. Sufficeth to say, this is no longer done on wall street in any real or legitimate fashion if at all. Indeed, it’s a fair statement to say that security analysis is no longer a ‘practice’ as same was considered, once upon a time, by value investors / analysts. As set forth by Dave and Cooper, infra, computerized programmed manipulation at lightning speed has been expedient in the short run for the wall street frauds but ultimately leads to the inevitable crash since as I often reiterate:  Remember, there is no modern day alchemy that spins worthless paper into gold except fraudulently for the frauds on wall street who’ve literally oftimes done exactly that; ‘cashing out’ for hard currency and gold, precious metals, at everyone else’s expense including main street. They’re just not that important and represent, like termites eating away at the nation’s foundation, a drag on the economy, the nation as one would expect from parasites such as they are’. What to Expect Next From the Markets Minyanville  Jeffrey Cooper ‘Conclusion: It looks like a program was run using the least amount of dollars to goose the indices by focusing on some big cap names like Apple, Amazon, Baidu, IBM, and Caterpillar,  Dave’s Daily:’.. The HAL 9000s have been doing business as HFTs (High Frequency Traders) launching many buy or sell programs using complex algorithms which can drive prices on indexes higher or lower in dramatic fashion. One of their great acts is called "quote stuffing". It's another illegal activity which the SEC hasn't quite figured out. It's as futile for them as the illegal fee-driven recent end-of-quarter price jam-job..’.      Simon Maierhofer, On Friday September 16, 2011, ‘Webster's dictionary defines gullible as naive and easily duped or cheated'.

On Thursday stocks rallied after Germany and France gave assurance that Greece will remain a member of the euro.

Haven't we been down this road before? How often have there been statements assuring that Greece is fine or will be fine? An Associated Press article stated this week that: 'Hopes were raised by the outcome of a teleconference Wednesday between leaders of France, Germany and Greece.'

Hope worked as propaganda tool for President Obama three years ago, but hope is not a suitable investment strategy. Einstein's famous definition of insanity comes to mind: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Since the beginning of 2010 there have been five 10%+ sell offs. All of them, with the exception of the March 2011 decline (Japan earthquake), were blamed on Greece. When stocks recovered, it was credited to Greece's rigorous adherence to the demanded austerity measures or new bailout money.

The S&P has made no net progress since January 2010. After two years of water treading and lessons in Greek-style financial mockery we have to ask, is Wall Street insane?

Greece's Prime Minister George Papandreou just pledged that a reform program would be on the top of Thursday's (yesterday) Greek cabinet meeting. To buy stocks based on a pledge to push a concern that was initially sold as non-issue but has morphed into a matter of survival on the top of an agenda does seem insane.

Or should we just consider the Greeks geniuses? After all, they have figured out how to control Wall Street. Today it only takes mythical Grecian hope for a hopefully hopeful outcome to excite Wall Street.

A German saying may describe Greece's situation. Loosely translated, it goes like this: Once your reputation is ruined, you may live blatantly uninhibited.

Insane Financial Pain

The Greek saga began over two years ago, when, on June 23, 2009, Greece's finance minister nonchalantly disclosed that: 'The rate of growth for the Greek economy in 2009 is expected to slow more than forecasted. Specifically, it will range around zero and only return to growth in 2010.' The disclosed budget deficit at the time was $3.1 billion.

Growth obviously didn't return in 2010, but the following headlines all offered hope in 2010:

ECB member says no bailouts for Greece

Bulls run on Greece news

Debtors bet Greece won't spill

Is Greece's crisis over?

Greece contagion fears unfounded

IMF approved $3.3 billion for Greece amid impressive fiscal adjustment

If Greece's adjustment was that impressive, why are we still talking about Greece?

Small Fish in the Debt Pond

Greece has made quite a splash but it is just a small fish in the European debt pond. Given some more time, we'll probably find out that bigger fish make bigger splashes. Next in line are Portugal, Spain, Italy and France. In terms of size, this is probably like comparing a goldfish with a tuna.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that: 'European banks are cutting back on dollar denominated loans, a troublesome sign of credit contraction at a time when American and European economies can least afford it.' Credit contraction is the mother of deflation and Bernanke's most feared enemy.

The Chairman of Societe Generale, one of France's largest banks, made it a point to state on Monday that the bank was well funded. Nevertheless, it will be reducing its dollar denominated debt and lay off workers. When promises conflict actions, we know that actions speak louder than words. Laying off workers is not confidence inspiring.

Back in February, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter warned that: 'The debt problem of sovereign European countries has or is about to turn into a debt problem of super sovereign entities. The IMF and EU swallowing up massive amounts of debt has not eliminated debt, it has merely re- shuffled and concentrated it.'

On July 15, I stated via ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter: 'I know European stocks will tank eventually but I don't know when. However, I see that the iShares MSCI EAFA ETF (NYSEArca: EFA - News) just sliced below it's 20, 50 and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs). The same is true for the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (NYSEArca: EEM - News). The high reward, low risk trade would be to go short EFA or EEM with a stop loss just above the 200-day SMA Corresponding ETFs are Short MSCI EAFE ProShares (NYSEArca: EFZ - News) and Short MSCI Emerging Markets ProShares (NYSEArca: EUM - News).

What's Next?

Fortunately the European Union can rely on the smarts of its many capable members. There is former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn who'd rather force his will on an innocent Manhattan hotel worker than enforce strict financial rules on member countries, Luxembourg's Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker who openly confesses to lying if required by circumstances and a whole slew of officials suffering from gullibility. You should think twice before betting against the European financial dream team.

As for me, I rely on technicals, not on officials, their decisions or the media's interpretation of it. The technicals I focus on are those of the S&P (SNP: ^GSPC). Not surprisingly, European stocks have generally moved in the same direction as the S&P.

The S&P and the SPDR Euro STOXX 50 ETF (NYSEArca: FEZ - News) both topped on May 2. The S&P's top came right on queue and within the 1,369 - 1,382 target range of a major market top I've outlined via the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter since early 2011.

Unlike the S&P, FEZ sunk to new lows on September 12. On that day FEZ was 38% below its May 2 high. Some more near-term damage may be to come for European stocks, but after a 38% haircut is not the time to double up on short positions.

Lesson From A Burst Bubble: Dead Men Don't Spend at Forbes The Lehman bankruptcy was a much more important event than 9/11. It marked the end of a 60-year credit expansion. Maybe it marked the high water mark for the U.S. empire, too, and the beginning of the end for the U.S. dollar-based world monetary system.

Whats most remarkable about this post-Lehman economy is that it is so un-remarkable. The economy is contracting, and as it contracts, it squeezes jobs, incomes, spending and prices.

We saw a note in the press yesterday. It told us that even the wages of sin are falling. The union that represents waiters and cocktail servers at Atlantic City casinos says the hourly base has fallen from $8.74 to only $4.50. And tips are tumbling. Surveys of prostitutes show their earnings are a bit limp, too.

And as people get squeezed by the financial correction, they gasp for breath. There are now 46.2 million people in America under the poverty line, according to The Los Angeles Times. Thats the most in 50 years.

But nothing extraordinary about that either. This is the biggest correction in half a century too. And you dont have to look very far to find more confirmation.

Thats why the 10-year Treasury note yield has fallen to the lowest level since right after WWII, and its why nearly half the people looking for a job have been looking for more than six months. And its why a recent poll shows that 72% of Americans think the nation is going to hell.

Now, finally, almost everyone realizes that this is not a recession-recovery situation. Something else is going on. The Financial Times calls it a Great Recession. Richard Koo calls it a Balance Sheet Recession. And David Rosenberg says we should call it what it really is a modern depression.

But well stick with our Great Correction label. Because we think there is more going on here than even a depression describes. (About whichmore below).

So far, practically everything that has happened is about what youd expect the predictable, ordinary consequences of a contraction. There is nothing remarkable about it.

But whats this? The Dow is back on the rise. Stock market investors dont seem to have gotten the message: this economy is in a contraction. Theyre still pricing stocks as if they thought the underlying businesses would grow. But companies dont add sales or profits in a contraction.

At least gold investors seem to have a better idea of what is going on. They sold the yellow metal.  The price of the GLD is dropping.

And the bond market too has its feet on the ground. The yield on the 10-year note is only 2.08%. That is a level consistent with a Japanese-style slump

No surprises here. But what if there were more going on than a simple financial correctioneven a correction of a 60-year credit expansion? What if the Great Correction were greater than we thought? More ambitious, more aggressive and more dangerous?

In the space of the last 500 years the human population grew approximately 1000%. If it were a financial chart, youd look at it and think uh ohits a bubble.

What if we were approaching a correction?

Reuters reports that the population of Japan is falling like a stone. Some 20 million Japanese are expected to disappear in the next 30 years.

Declining, graying populations are not what you need for economic growth. Old people dont spend much. Dead people spend even less.

As a result, the economy shrivels up like a 90-year-old. In Japan today about the only business still growing is the funeral business. People spend $157 to rent cold rooms, where they can store their loved ones while they await a spot at the crematorium. No kidding. Heres Reuters:

Annual deaths are expected to peak at 1.66 million in 2040 as the bulk of the nations baby boomer generation expires. By then, Japans population will have shrunk by around 20 million people, an unprecedented die off for a nation neither at war or blighted by famine.

ETFs have potential to become the next toxic scandal Sep 19th, 2011 News (The Telegraph) Back in April, the Financial Stability Board (FSB), an international super-regulator, wrote a prescient if less than catchily-titled paper Potential financial stability issues arising from recent trends in Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).Its central warning that ETFs are not the cheap and transparent vehicles the marketers would have us believe was spot on. When UBSs $2bn black hole hit the screens on Thursday, no one who read the FSB report was surprised to see the words ETF and rogue trader in the same sentencearound half of the ETFs in Europe today do not match the index they are designed to track by holding all of its constituent shares. Unlike the plain vanilla full replication ETFs which do, 45pc of the market is in the form of so-called swap-based ETFs which instead use derivative agreements, often with investment banks, to simulate the performance of the underlying assets. Derivative trades add a second layer of uncertainty to the unavoidable ups and downs of the market, the counterparty risk that the organisation on the other side of the contract might go bust. Even worse, the provider of the ETF might sometimes be a part of the same organisation as the derivatives desk carrying out the swapFor reasons which Im not sure I could explain even if I had the space, it is possible for the number of shares sold short in an ETF to massively exceed the actual number of shares available.

4 'Invisible' Forces to Seal the Market's Fate ETFguide Simon Maierhofer, On Monday September 19, 2011, ‘In 2004, Daniel Simons of the University of Illinois and Christopher Chabris of Harvard University conducted an experiment that was as simple as it was fascinating.

If you want to be part of the experiment, watch this video before you read any further.

The Experiment

There are two groups of three people each. One group is wearing black shirts, the other group white shirts. The assignment is to watch how many times the players wearing white, pass the basketball.

If you counted 15, you are correct. But more importantly, did you notice the gorilla? While you were counting passes, a woman dressed in a gorilla suit walked slowly across the scene, stopped to face the camera and thumped her chest.

Half of the people watching the video with the intent of counting passes did not see the gorilla. The experiment illustrates the phenomenon of unintentional blindness. This condition, also known as perceptual blindness, prevents people from perceiving things that are in plain sight.

For most of 2010-11 Wall Street was so enamored by the magical powers of QE2 that it forgot about the 800-pound gorilla - the economy that wasn't improving. In fact, the economy continued deteriorating in plain sight.

There are five bearish mega trends that may draw stock prices much lower over the coming years. Here are the five mega trends (and what will make stocks rally in between).

U.S. Deficit

For a moment, take a mental journey with me back in time. We are now in early 2008. The major indexes a la S&P (SNP: ^GSPC), Dow Jones (DJI: ^DJI), and Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC) are slowly coming off their all-time high and the VIX (Chicago Options: ^VIX) is reflecting some complacency before the collapse of Lehman Brothers hits the news.

Unbeknownst to most, the perfect financial storm is brewing. Once the storm hits, it is much worse than anyone expected. But, the eventual damage is limited. Why? Because, the government steps up and does what it takes to prevent the financial system from failing.

Today has the feel of early 2008. Another perfect storm may be brewing. Will the government be there to do what it takes to support 'too big to fail?' No! In 2008 financial companies were in trouble. In 2011 entire countries (look at Europe and the U.S.) are struggling to escape the grip of delinquency.

A Decelerating Generation

Starting in 2011, more than 10,000 baby boomers a day will turn 65, a pattern that will continue for the next 19 years. This dry humor cartoon encapsulates the problem retirees' face today:

Two older gentlemen are having a drink. One says: 'As a Baby Boomer, I never thought the boom would be the sound of my retirement accounts collapsing.' He'd like to sip on a nice Scotch while enjoying a steak, but has to settle for water and free bread sticks at Olive Garden.

Most retirees still haven't recovered from the lost decade. Let's make the term lost decade more personal. A 55 year old with $100,000 in his retirement account at the beginning of the year 2000 and a 6% projected rate of return, would have $201,419 today.

The S&P trades 20% below its 2000 level. Courtesy of the lost decade, that $100,000 in the year 2000 has turned into $80,000 today (perhaps less if invested too aggressively). In other words, many retirees may have to get by on less than half of their expected nest egg. In addition, their home, rather than being an asset (many considered it an ATM a few years ago), has turned into a liability.

It doesn't take much imagination to see that strapped retirees are bad for economic growth. When the focus is on survival rather than pleasure, sectors like technology (NYSEArca: XLK - News), retail (NYSEArca: XRT - News), and consumer discretionary (NYSEArca: XLY - News) suffer.

In addition, baby boomers that have been buying stocks for decades (think of all the 401k money) are now turning into sellers of stock.

Low Interest Rates

Low interest rates are great for the U.S. government because it reduces debt payments on Treasuries and businesses wanting to expand. Unfortunately, businesses don't feel like expanding or even hiring and for pretty much everyone else low interest rates are negative.

Some try to sell the idea that low interest rates are good for stocks (NYSEArca: VTI - News) because money will flow from low interest bonds into stocks in an effort to get a better return.

The chart below plots the Nikkei against Japan's version of the discount rate. The discount rate has been below 1% since 1995. At the same time the Nikkei has dropped from above 20,000 to below 10,000. Much of this happened during a raging global bull market. Imagine what a global bear market can do to U.S. stocks.

                   https://www.etfguide.com//contributor/UserFiles/8/Image/yahoo%20japan%20discount.gif  

Low interest rates are a double negative because they reduce available spending for retirees who need to get as much income as possible to survive.

Coming to a Head

The above three bearish trends were highlighted in detail in various 2011 ETF Profit Strategy Newsletters. Due to those, and other mega trends, the Newsletter has been expecting a major market top.

For much of 2011 however, the expectation of a major market top was postponed until the ideal target range was reached. The April 3 ETF Profit Strategy update included a precise range for a major market top: 'In terms of resistance levels, the 1,369 - 1,382 range is a strong candidate for a reversal of potentially historic proportions. '

Why was S&P 1,369 - 1,382 a candidate for a reversal of historic proportions? The chart below, published by the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter in March and many times since, has the answer.

                   https://www.etfguide.com//contributor/UserFiles/8/Image/yahoo%20M%20pattern.gif

What you see is a giant M, or head and shoulders top. The right shoulder was made up of the parallel trend channel that connects the 2002 and 2009 low, with the 2000 high. In April/May the upper line of the trend channel ran through 1,377. Additional resistance was provided by Fibonacci levels at 1,389 and 1,369.

On May 2, the S&P briefly spiked as high as 1,370.58 before retreating and eventually dropping 18% in twelve trading days (July 25 - August 9). Once the S&P dropped below the 200-day SMA it entered free fall territory…’

IMF downgrades outlook for US and Europe economies [Sep 20, 2011] ... Fund has sharply downgraded its outlook for the U.S. economy through 2012 ...  http://finance.yahoo.com/news/IMF-downgrades-outlook-for-US-apf-1240337037.html?x=0



Market Recap: S&P Downgrades Italy, Housing Starts Tumble, Markets Wait on Bernanke   Wall St Cheat Sheet  September 20, 2011, Markets closed mixed on Wall Street today: Dow +0.07% , S&P -0.17% , Nasdaq -0.86% , Oil +1.39% , Gold +1.65% .

On the commodities front, Oil climbed to $86.89 a barrel. Precious metals also climbed, with Gold rising to $1,808.30 an ounce while Silver climbed 1.95% to $39.93 an ounce.

Hot Feature: European Central Banks Are Hungry for Gold

Todays markets were mixed because:

1) Italy. Standard & Poors cut Italys credit rating late Monday by one level to A from A+, citing weak economic growth and criticizing Romes response to the debt crisis. Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi responded, saying that the move was influenced by political considerations and media stories rather than economic reality. Markets quickly shrugged off the news, with major indices in Italy, Germany, and London all opening higher this morning.

2) Bernanke. Goldman Sachs provided a preview of what investors could see tomorrow from the Federal Reserve, saying there is a high probability that the FOMC will announce further easing steps at the conclusion of this weeks meeting. Goldman went on to say that Operation Twist looks very likely and that, As a complementary measure, we also expect that the committee will announce a cut in the interest on excess reserves (IOER) rate to 0.1% from 0.25%, although this is a much closer call. An IOER cut would lower market interest rates a small amount and could aid communication. The expectation of good news buoyed markets despite a day full of negative or at least neutral economic data, and had the major indices climbing high in mid-day, though theyve since declined toward more reasonable levels, given that the IMF announced today that it had lowered its global economic forecast for 2011 and 2012, with growth in Europe and the U.S. stalling.

3) Housing. Both housing starts and completions declined in August from already depressed numbers, according to a monthly report by the Department of Urban Housing and Development, in conjunction with the U.S. Census Bureau. However, building permits increased last month, which means more projects are likely to start within the next six months. The news had building stocks climbing higher, including Toll Brothers , D.R. Horton , KB Home , PulteGroup , Hovnanian Enterprises , and The Ryland Group all outperforming the major indices.

Signs The Perfect Economic Storm Is Coming | www.bullfax.com  http://www.bullfax.com/?q=node-signs-perfect-economic-storm-coming  09/22/2011 By Michael T. Snyder: The financial world is officially going crazy. Can you believe what is going on out there right now? Financial markets have been jumping up and down like crazy for months and this is creating a lot of fear. Other than during the financial crisis of 2008, in the post-World War II era have we ever experienced as much financial instability as we are seeing right now? Should we just accept that massive financial instability is going to be part of "the new normal" in the financial world? The wild swings that we are witnessing in the global financial marketplace are making a whole lot of people very nervous right at the moment. When markets go up, they tend to do it slowly and steadily. When markets go down, a lot of times it can happen very rapidly. Also, as I have mentioned before, more major stock market crashes happen duringThe following is from an article that was recently posted on MarketWatch....

The insiders have vanished.

Chief executives. Board members. The head honchos. The people who know. Just a few weeks ago, they were out in force, buying up shares in their own companies with both hands. No longer. Theyve disappeared. Almost overnight. Theyve stopped buying, says Charles Biderman, the chief executive of stock market research firm TrimTabs, which tracks the data.

For some reason, this almost always starts happening before a crash. So obviously this is not a good sign.

A lot of normal investors have been pulling large amounts of money out of stocks as well. The following is from a report in the Financial Post....

Investors have pulled more money from U.S. equity funds since the end of April than in the five months after the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., adding to the $2.1 trillion rout in American stocks.

About $75 billion was withdrawn from funds that focus on shares during the past four months, according to data compiled by Bloomberg from the Investment Company Institute, a Washington-based trade group, and EPFR Global, a research firm in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Outflows totaled $72.8 billion from October 2008 through February 2009, following Lehmans bankruptcy, the data show.

Are you starting to get the picture?

Not only that, but a third very troubling sign is that an extraordinary number of bets have been placed against the S&P 500. As I noted the other day, if there is a stock market crash in the next few weeks, somebody is going to make a ton of money....

We are seeing an amazing number of bets against the S&P 500 right now. According to CNN, the number of bets against the S&P 500 rose to the highest level in a year last month. But that was nothing compared to what we are seeing for October. The number of bets against the S&P 500 for the month of October is absolutely astounding. Somebody is going to make a monstrous amount of money if there is a stock market crash next month.

It doesn't take a genius to see all the dark financial clouds that are gathering on the horizon.

And all of the bad news that is constantly coming out of Europe is certainly not helping things. For example, yesterday S&P slashed the credit ratings of seven different Italian banks.

Credit downgrades have become so frequent that we hardly even notice them anymore. Pessimism is everywhere right now. Suddenly it seems like almost everyone is predicting that another "recession" is coming....

According to a recent Harvard Business Review survey, 70 percent of global business leaders believe that a global recession is "somewhat likely" or "very likely" in the coming months.

Economist Nouriel Roubini says that we are "already in recession".

When asked by CNBC what he thought about the possibility of another recession, George Soros said the following the other day:“I think we are in it already.”..’

 

Portfolio Insights by Brett Arends Sept. 21, 2011 Brett Arends, MarketWatch BOSTON (MarketWatch) Something ominous is happening on Wall Street, but nobody has noticed. The insiders have vanished. Chief executives. Board members. The head honchos. The people who know. Just a few weeks ago, they were out in force, buying up shares in their own companies with both hands. No longer. Theyve disappeared. Almost overnight. Theyve stopped buying, says Charles Biderman, the chief executive of stock market research firm TrimTabs, which tracks the data. Insiders arent buying this rally. Insider stock purchases, which surged above $100 million a day in the market slump last month, have now collapsed to just $13 million a day. Meanwhile the ratio of insider sales to purchases has skyrocketed. Today insiders are dumping $7 in stock for each $1 that (other) insiders are buying. Thats a worrying ratio. Six weeks ago the amounts of purchases and sales were about equal. Its the kind of news that should give investors pause. What insiders do with their own money is one of the stock markets best barometers. After all, who better than company executives know their own order books? Who knows the conditions in their industry better? You find insiders typically buying heavily at the market lows they did in 1987, in 1998, and they did during the financial crisis in 2008-9. (You also typically find them cashing out big-time at the peak).

 

MARKETS DESTROYED AROUND THE WORLD: Here's What You Need To KnowBusiness Insider

 

The Real Reason Behind the Market's Meltdown  Simon Maierhofer, On Thursday September 22, 2011, 11:01 pm

Was it just bad timing or did the Fed cause this two-day market meltdown?

Since Bernanke spoke yesterday the S&P (SNP: ^GSPC) lost as much as 80 points, nearly 7%. The Dow Jones (DJI: ^DJI) shed about 700 points, the Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC) 150 points and the financial sector (NYSEArca: XLF - News) tumbled 7.7%. The VIX (Chicago Options: ^VIX) soared over 25%.

No doubt the Fed seems to have lost the touch that made QE2 a temporary 'success' (if success is measured exclusively by stock prices).

Bad Timing

But quite frankly, the timing of 'Operation Twist' was just plain bad. The market's fate was sealed even before Bernanke stepped on stage. Already back in August the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter highlighted seven reasons why new lows are likely between September 6 and September 28.

In a special pre-FOMC announcement update on Tuesday night, the Newsletter confirmed its bearish outlook and recommended to short the S&P as soon as it breaks below 1,191. Why 1,191? Because it was important support composed of this week's pivot, Fibonacci support, the 20-day moving average and Monday's low.

Here are six reasons why new lows were likely and where and why stocks will bounce.

A Major M-Pattern (or Head-and Shoulders) Top

Since early 2011 the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter has been expecting a major market top. The chart below shows a bearish multi-decade M-pattern (or sloppy head-and shoulders). The key question was were the right side of the 'M' would end.

The chart below was featured in an April 5 update along with the following commentary: 'In terms of resistance levels, the 1,369 - 1,382 range is a strong candidate for a reversal of potentially historic proportions.'

                                     https://www.etfguide.com//contributor/UserFiles/8/Image/5%20-%20April%203%20TF.jpg

RSI Divergence

There is one striking similarity between the October/November 2008, March 2009 and May/June/July 2010 lows. In all three cases the S&P reached an initial price low accompanied by an RSI (relative strength indicator) low. However, a more lasting low was not reached until the S&P recorded a new price low against higher RSI reading.

In other words there had to be a divergence between the S&P and RSI. The S&P and RSI both recorded their initial low on August 9. Now we are waiting for a new S&P low while RSI stays above its August 9 reading.

Seasonality

August, September, and October is the most bearish stretch of the year. September and October sport negative performance even in the pre-election year.

Sentiment

From S&P 1,370 on May 2 to S&P 1,258 on June 16, the S&P shed 112 points and sentiment measured by Investors Intelligence (II) and the American Association for Individual Investors (AAII) turned deeply bearish. The June 16 ETF Profit Strategy   update took that as a queue to buy (long positions were closed at S&P 1,340).

From S&P 1,353 on July 7 to S&P 1,102 on August 9 the S&P lost 251 points, yet the II sentiment poll registered the second most bullish reading since the first week of May. AAII and II polls are often considered the 'dumb money.' If the 'dumb money' views last Wednesday's low as a buying opportunity, the 'smart money' should be suspicious.

VIX Pattern

If you have the charting capabilities, take a moment and plot the VIX (Chicago Options: ^VIX) against the S&P for the month of September - November 2008 and April - July 2010. If you don't have the time you may simply look at the chart below.

                                    https://www.etfguide.com/images/PDNewsletter_Images/yahoo%20-%20vix%20pattern.gif

What What we've seen in 2008 and 2010 is that a VIX peak did not coincide with the S&P bottom. The S&P bottom actually occurred against a lower VIX reading. If this pattern continues, we will see lower lows.

The August 14 ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter update includes a detailed analysis of the VIX pattern, along with the time frame and target level for an expected turn.

The Script

Via more or less accidental chart surfing, I found a striking resemblance between the 2007 market top and the May 2011 top.  This moved me to state in the July 17 Profit Strategy update that:

'There is a similar trend line and a triple top above the trend line. A break below that trend line could be a precursor of bad things. Next week the trend line will be at about 1,262.'

The S&P sliced through that trend line on August 4 and fell an additional 12% within the next four days. A deeper analysis of this chart parallel also suggests new lows.

The Outlook

The market's performance over the last couple of days has validated the studies above. We are now waiting for new lows…’

 

 

Market Recap: China Falters, Banks Exposed, and Fed Causes Market to Plummet Wall St. Cheat Sheet, September 22, 2011, Hot Feature: U.S. Home Prices Down 3.3%Todays markets were down because:1) Fed. Markets plummeted today following dire remarks on the economy from the Federal Reserve. The news of slowing growth also pushed most commodities lower, including oil, gold, and silver, while only Treasuries moved higher as investors sought one of the few safe havens left. The Feds announcement of Operation Twist yesterday failed to instill much confidence in the economy, and few think the measures will be enough to reverse the economic downswing over the last few months. After all the anticipation leading up to the Feds decision, investors were left with the understanding that not even the Fed has the power to turn this thing around. 2) China. Through all the economic turmoil that has engulfed the globe over the last few years, China has been the one shining beacon of progress and growth. However, despite the fact that Chinas economy is still on track to grow 8.5% to 9% this year, its manufacturing sector has been contracting for the last three months now, according to HSBCs manufacturing PMI. There was a lot of concern over China because heretofore its been the one pocket of unstoppable strength in the global economy, said Paul Larson, chief equity strategist at Morningstar. If that stops and China becomes a drag on worldwide growth, it could have big implications here in the U.S. News that China might not be as infallible as once though had a host of popular Chinese stocks plummeting today, including shares of Sohu.com , Youku.com , RenRen , Sina Corp. , and Baidu.com , which fell nearly 11% today.3) Banks. After Moodys downgraded some of the nations top banks yesterday, investors are growing worried about the financial industrys exposure to the sovereign debt crisis in Europe. Not only were Bank of America , Wells Fargo , and Citigroup continuing to slide today after Moodys downgraded them, citing the unlikelihood that the government will step in should the financial sector find itself in a similar situation to that of 2008, but the entire sector fell on concerns that Moodys was right. Barclays , JPMorgan , Goldman Sachs , and Morgan Stanley were all heavy drags on the markets today. European banks were trading sharply lower for the same reason, with Frances SocGen and Credit Agricole falling 9.5% each, while Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse also underperformed the markets.

Fed vs Market - Will Selling Pressure Overpower Operation Twist?   Simon Maierhofer, September 23, 2011, The Fed just unleashed a $400 billion package to boost the economy. To say the market didn't react favorably would be an understatement.

The Financial Select Sector SPDR (NYSEArca: XLF - News) greeted the program with an 8% haircut. The S&P (SNP: ^GSPC), Dow Jones (DJI: ^DJI) and Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC) fell 4-6%. On the bright side, the yield of the 10-Year T-Note dropped another 0.242%, from one all-time low to the next.

Will 'Operation Twist' buoy stocks or will the market overpower the Fed's half-hearted effort? Believe it or not, but after some more suffering, I believe the Fed will eventually reap some (temporary) credit for this stick save (more about that in a moment).

Bernanke Must be Surprised

In his February 9, 2011 speech before the U.S. House of Representatives, Ben Bernanke was quick to take credit for the results of QE2: 'Since then (the onset of QE2), equity prices have risen significantly, volatility in the equity market has fallen. All of these developments are what one would expect to see when monetary policy becomes more accommodative.'

On February 9, the S&P closed at 1,320, the VIX (Chicago Options: ^VIX) at 15.87. Today the S&P is 13% lower while the VIX has soared a stunning 160%. Bernanke's credibility has tumbled somewhere between 13 and 160%.

Contrary to Bernanke's upbeat outlook, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter published the following chart just a week after Bernanke's comfy cozy assessment of QE2 and the stock market's reaction.

                       https://www.etfguide.com//contributor/UserFiles/8/Image/yahoo%20M%20pattern.gif

The chart shows a giant bearish head-and shoulders or M-pattern. At the time, the Newsletter projected a market top at 1,382 - 1,385. The April 4 ETF Profit Strategy update refined the target range: 'In terms of resistance levels, the 1,369 - 1,382 range is a strong candidate for a reversal of potentially historic proportions.'

Sleep in the Bed You Made

Operation Twist - the Fed's latest concoction - became necessary because QE2 didn't stick. Banks (NYSEArca: KBE - News) graciously accepted the generous $600 billion donation, but despite the huge cash infusion, the Banking Index today trades 22% below its November 3, 2010 prices,  when QE2 was launched.

Will Operation Twist be More 'Successful' than QE2?

QE2 created $600 billion out of thin air while Operation Twist merely changes the maturities of the Fed's existing balance sheet.

Over the next nine months the Fed will sell $400 billion worth of short-term (3 years or less) Treasuries and use the proceeds to buy maturities ranging from 6 - 30 years. Maturing mortgage-backed securities (MBS) will be re-investing in MBS, not in Treasuries.

If you are wondering how this approach of transferring money from the left to the right pant pockets makes a difference, you've already found the reason for the post FOMC-announcement meltdown.

Wall Street considered the proposal half-hearted and the stated goal of lowering long-term interests unnecessary, especially considering that the yield on the 10-Year T-Note is already at a multi-decade low.

Range bound Trading with a Purpose

From July 21 - August 8 the S&P lost nearly 250 points. Nevertheless, the August 8 TF made clear that there will be another low and stated that: 'One of the conditions for a market bottom is lower lows against improving breadth. Breadth was horrible today and no lasting low was reached. What generally tends to happen within a major sell off is a period of time where stocks take a breather followed by the final leg down. This final leg sports lower prices but improving breadth.'

Support at 1,121 held and the S&P was due for a 'breather period.' The back and forth of the recent weeks qualifies as just that. It also shows that there's a method behind the market's madness.

Range bound trading lulls investors into a false sense of security and makes traders gun shy before pulling the proverbial rug out from underneath them.

In a special Tuesday's pre-FOMC decision update, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter pointed out that the down side risk remains much bigger than the up side potential and that the direction for XLF is down as long as it doesn't move above the 20-day SMA at 12.70 and last week's high at 13.04.

Connoisseurs of technical analysis will find the following chart of interest. The update brought out that percentR (a measure of relative strength) moved above 80 for the first time since late July. The chart below (featured in Tuesday's update) showed what happened the last two times percentR moved above 80 - stocks dropped.

                                             https://www.etfguide.com//contributor/UserFiles/8/Image/yahoo%20-%20spx%209%2020%2011.gif  

The actionable recommendation given was for aggressive investors to go short with a break below 1,191. Selling accelerated as soon as the S&P broke through the support at 1,191 and didn't stop until the S&P reached support at 1,121.

There were seven other reasons why I expected new lows (see August 14 and 21 update for a concise summary), one of them is seasonality. August, September, October is a bearish time of year, even during Presidential election years…’

Taken to Task: Free Market Champions Go Begging for Bailouts (Reprise)The Daily Ticker Aaron Task Financial markets tumbled this week amid disappointment the Fed didn't do more and general disgust with the lack of action from European policymakers.

Which brings us to another installment of Taken to Task.

For all the talk about how traders love the free market and believe in the principles of unfettered capitalism, the folks on Wall Street can't seem to get enough of government bailouts.

After Ben Bernanke pledged to spend $400 billion on Operation Twist this week, I heard many more complaints about how the Fed didn't do ENOUGH vs. any chatter about how they've gone too far, are out of bullets and pushing on a string. That's so "first-half of 2011" before the stock market turned south, that is. (See: Fed Action Fails To Boost Animal Spirits: "Marginally Helpful," Says Former Fed Governor)

It seems the bold champions of free markets on Wall Street only like laissez faire capitalism when the markets are RISING.

This weekend, traders are hoping for some plan ANY plan to deal with Greece, whether it comes from the ECB, the IMF, the World Bank, Poseidon or Zeus. But nobody seems to be wishing to just let the chips fall where they may. Haircuts for bondholders? Write-downs for banks? Egads! The pain must be avoided at all costs! (See: Apocalypse Now? Markets Tumble as Europe Approaches "Tipping Point")

Of course, a generation of traders has been conditioned to believe the Fed or some other institution will come riding to their rescue if things get really dicey, or even just a little bit uncomfortable. So we can't blame them for taking on too much unhedged risk and (not-so) secretly hoping for yet another bailout, can we?

Just like there are no atheists in foxholes, the really are no libertarians on Wall Street. The only ideology traders believe in is making money and if that means more government intervention, bring it on! Someday, maybe, we'll get back to something approaching a free market. But if such a thing ever really existed, it was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

CME raises margins for gold, silver, copper Sep 23rd, 2011 News  (MarketWatch) — The CME Group CME +0.00% , the parent company of the New York Mercantile Exchange, on Friday raised margin requirements for some gold, silver and copper futures contracts. Margins are money investors must put up to be able to trade and hold futures contracts. Initial requirements for gold’s benchmark contract rose 21% to $11,475 per contract, from $9,450 and maintenance margins climbed to $8,500 from $7,000 per contract. Initial requirements for silver’s benchmark contract rose 16% to $24,975 per contract, from $21,600 and maintenance margins climbed to $18,500 from $16,000 per contract.[source]PG View: It is likely that expectations of this margin hike factored into today’s sell-off.

Gold Plunges More Than $100 as Investors Sell Sep 23rd, 2011 News (Bloomberg) — Gold fell, capping the biggest two- day plunge since 1983, on investor sales following routs in global equity and commodity markets.More than $3.4 trillion has been erased from equity values this week, sending a global measure of shares into a bear market, on concern that governments are running out of tools to avert a recession. The Standard & Poor’s GSCI Index of 24 commodities fell to a nine-month low today. Gold has dropped 15 percent since reaching a record $1,923.70 an ounce on Sept. 6.“Gold has become the source of liquidity for global margin calls,” said Michael A. Gayed, the chief investment strategist at Pension Partners LLC. “Also, deflationary pressures are acting on gold.” PG View: We’ve seen very strong physical buying interest on this retreat. Savvy investors know from experience that deleveraging breaks provide buying opportunity. The dollar and bonds may be up for now, but most realize that they aren’t the true safe-havens that they once were, and such allocations are therefore unlikely to prove sticky.

Dow Sinks 6.4% for Week Sep 23rd, 2011 News (Wall Street Journal) — Fears of a possible Greek default and the U.S economy dipping back into recession pushed the Dow Jones Industrial Average to its worst weekly decline since the depths of the financial crisis.Stocks edged slightly higher on Friday, as a pledge from global officials to maintain financial stability alleviated some investor anxiety. The slim gains, however, failed to overshadow the market’s poor weekly performance.The Dow edged up 37.65 points, or 0.4%, to 10771.48.

The statement followed a day in which the equity markets suffered some of the biggest falls since the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008, as investors rushed to safety in a widespread sell-off.“We commit to take all necessary actions to preserve the stability of banking systems and financial markets as required,” the group said in a statement. “We will ensure that banks are adequately capitalised and have sufficient access to funding to deal with current risks and that they fully implement Basel III along the agreed timelines.”[source]

Investors Lose Faith in Stocks LAURICELLA European nations, flirting with recession, can't agree on how to climb out from under their pile of debt. The U.S. is careening toward a budget fight that threatens to shut down the government. China's mammoth economy may be downshifting. And across the financial markets, a sea change is taking place. Investors are abandoning the time-tested "stocks for the long run" optimism that dominated since the late 1980s.

End of Quarter Price Mark-Ups; Daves Daily   http://www.thestreet.com/story/11260606/1/end-of-quarter-price-mark-ups-daves-daily.html  Dave Fry  9-27-11 All you need do is view the last week of June 2011, the previous quarter end, and you'll note a similar quarter end jam-job. That week featured little bullish news to account for that market rise. And, this week all we have is "hope" and some elegant press releases which amount to nothing without specific action. Most of the so-called "euro zone fix" seems "iffy" and not clearly articulated beyond the "we must do something" mandate. Germans are particularly obstinate over their share of the burden. They have a parliamentary vote on the issue on Thursday. Chancellor Merkel's coalition may be falling apart. Greeks don't like hardly any of the sacrifices they need to make and social unrest is a given. I'll just repeat what was noted in yesterday's commentary: "DeMark weekly 9 "buy to close short positions" littered the European equity and U.S. bond landscape. With global equity correlations over 95% and these indicators being reliable, we saw immediate rallies. If bulls can continue this rally throughout the week fees for portfolio managers will be less negatively affected.  Sure it's cynical to say but it's also illegal to do. Who's gonna stop 'em? …’ [ Isnt that the point!

Split opens over Greek bail-out terms Sep 27th, 2011 15:37  News (Financial Times) A split has opened in the eurozone over the terms of Greeces second 109bn bail-out with as many as seven of the blocs 17 members arguing for private creditors to swallow a bigger writedown on their Greek bond holdings, according to senior European officials.The divisions have emerged amid mounting concerns that Athens funding needs are much bigger than estimated just two months ago. They threaten to unpick a painfully negotiated deal reached with private sector bond holders in July.Because of the recent economic downturn and Greeces slow implementation of austerity measures, officials estimate Athens funding needs over the next three years have grown beyond the 172bn forecast this summer.[source]

PG View: Missed numbers out of Greece? Say it isnt so. How far beyond 172 bln are we talking here? Does any number they give have any meaning?

Mark Hulbert, MarketWatch CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (MarketWatch) [ Of course Mr. Hulbert is correct in pointing out the folly of what’s causing the meltdown. Indeed, he might even borrow from the homespun wisdom of the mama of that stellar investigatigative reporter, formerly of SNL fame, Rosanne Rosanna Dana, who reminds us ‘ It’s always somethin’ ‘ . Indeed, Rosanne; it is always somethin’… just not the somethin’ that the frauds on wall street et als say it is. The fact is the markets are grossly over-valued courtesy of a myriad of fraudulent tools; from computer-prgrammed high-frequency trade churn-and-earn scams, to ever more worthless funny money, to blatant misrepresentation / fudged numbers, etc.. Will you be left holding their worthless bag of hot potatoes? Will you be their fool … again … in this suckers’ market? ]  — ‘Greece ate my homework. Not only that, if you believe the financial headlines, Greece is responsible for almost every financial ill that has beset the investment arena over the last 18 months. I say it’s time the headline writers came up with a new story to “explain” what’s happening to the stock market.

Consider last week, for example, when investors’ concern about a possible Greek default supposedly caused the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +1.33%   to lose 738 points and the combined market capitalizations of all publicly traded stocks in the U.S. to lose $865 billion.
How could Greece have been the cause of that, when Greece’s total sovereign debt (counting both government debt and from the country’s monetary authorities) amounts to $393 billion, according to the International Monetary Fund? It doesn’t make sense, even if Greece’s debt were completely owed to U.S. banks — which it most definitely is not.

Blaming Greece makes even less sense when we focus on more than just the last week. Since the stock market high this spring, for example, U.S. stocks have lost approximately $2.5 trillion in market cap. Once again, the prime suspect is concern over Europe’s debt situation.

Yet the $2.5 trillion loss is more than twice the total debt (from both the government and the monetary authorities) of Greece, Spain and Portugal combined — the three PIIGS countries considered to be most in danger of default.

Why, then, do so many investment commentators persist in telling the story that Europe’s debt situation is to blame? Because it’s a convenient and easy explanation to fall back upon, especially in the face of a market that is otherwise acting so inscrutably.

How many of us have the guts to say that we don’t really know why the market went up or down? Rather than admitting that, we instead tell stories — akin to Rudyard Kipling’s “Just So” stories, such as the one about how the leopard got his spots.

Blaming Greece is only the latest example of this. My perennial favorite is the oft-used explanation that the market went up (or down) on a given day because there were more buyers than sellers (or more sellers than buyers). This is just intellectual laziness, of course: During any trading session there are always the same number of buyers and sellers.

Investors need to let Greece rest in peace. That country has enough problems of its own without being asked to take responsibility for ours as well.’

Unthinkable Poised to Happen on Wall Street. See Disturbing Charts. (Moneynews) ‘The Aftershock Survival Summit is a gripping, no-nonsense presentation that’s quickly becoming a financial beacon in an economic tsunami.

Featuring an exclusive interview with famed economist and best-selling author Robert Wiedemer, this disturbing presentation exposes harsh economic truths along with a dire financial warning — a prophetic message that’s spreading across America like wildfire.

But it’s not just the grim predictions that are causing the sensation; rather, it’s the comprehensive blueprint for economic survival that’s really commanding global attention.

 

It offers realistic, step-by-step solutions that the average hard-working American can easily follow; millions have already heeded its warnings and are rapidly sharing the Aftershock Survival Summit throughout the Internet. To see it for yourself, simply click here.

The overwhelming amount of feedback to publicize the presentation, initially screened for a private audience, came with consequences as various online networks repeatedly shut it down and affiliates refused to house the content.

“People were sitting up and taking notice, and they begged us to make the
Aftershock Survival Summit public so they could easily share it,” said Newsmax Financial Publisher Aaron DeHoog, “but unfortunately, it kept getting pulled.”

The controversy stems from direct allegations that the people in Washington have failed miserably. They include former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and current Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, tasked with preventing financial meltdowns and keeping the nation’s economy strong through monetary and credit policies.

At one point, Wiedemer even calls out Ben Bernanke, saying that his “money from heaven will be the path to hell.”

This wasn’t the first time Wiedemer’s predictions hit a nerve. In 2006, he and his team of economists accurately predicted the four-bubble meltdown in the housing, stock, private debt, and consumer spending markets that almost sunk America.

Regardless of his warnings and survival advice, Bernanke and Greenspan were not about to support Wiedemer publicly, nor were the mainstream media.

As the warnings went unheeded, and America suffered the consequences, Wiedemer penned his latest prophetic work, “Aftershock: Protect Yourself and Profit in the Next Global Financial Meltdown.”

Once again his contrarian views ruffled feathers and just before the book was publicly released, the publisher yanked the final chapter, deeming it too controversial for newsstand and online outlets such as Amazon.com.

Despite appearances, “Aftershock” is not a book with the singular intention of scaring people, explains DeHoog. “The true value lies in the sound economic survival guidance that people can act on immediately. I was able to read the original version with the ‘unpublished chapter,’ and I think it’s the most crucial in the entire book. After contacting Wiedemer, we [Newsmax] were granted permission to share it with our readers. In fact, viewers of the
Aftershock Survival Summit are able to claim a free copy of it.”

In the
Aftershock Survival Summit, Wiedemer reveals what the publisher didn’t want you to see. Citing the unthinkable, he provides disturbing evidence and financial charts forecasting 50% unemployment, a 90% stock market collapse, and 100% annual inflation.

“I doubted some of his predictions at first. But then Robert showed me the charts that provided evidence for such disturbing claims,” DeHoog commented.

Editors Note: The Aftershock Survival Summit shows the exact same charts.

Prepare for Lehman Brothers Part 2  MoneyShow.com Sep 15, 2011 ‘Three years ago, Lehman collapsed. Now, a new Lehman-like financial crisis is coming -- this time involving the debt of governments and European banks.’

 

 

 

 

Arguments for Being in the Crash Camp   Conor Sen Sep 28, 2011 ‘This has been the sixth-most volatilite September since 1950. The only years more volatile? 2002, 2001, 1974, 1998, and 2008, years which included two major stock market bottoms (1974 and 2002), 9/11, Long Term Capital Management, and the fall of Lehman Brothers. Despite the crazy volatility, it is my contention that nothing meaningful has really happened this month. As we know, the reason for the volatility is primarily because of the ongoing sovereign debt crisis in Europe. And as news events of today confirm, we remain no closer to resolution here, even as stress indicators continue to deteriorate.

For example, while markets were surging today, German finance minster Wolfgang Schaeuble was out saying basically the same things he's been saying all along, that Germany is opposed to further bailouts or fiscal stimulus, and Europe's periphery should resolve its problems via fiscal consolidation.

Schaeuble Says 'Will Not Spend Our Way' Out of Crisis

Schaeuble Says 'Immediate Fiscal Reforms Are of the Essence'

Schaeuble Says Increasing EFSF Would Damage Some AAA Ratings

Schaeuble Says Monetary Policy 'Not the Way' to Solve Euro Woes

Later in the day, as the Financial Times reported, problems were surfacing regarding Greece's latest bailout package:

"A split has opened in the eurozone over the terms of Greece’s second €109bn bail-out with as many as seven of the bloc’s 17 members arguing for private creditors to swallow a bigger writedown on their Greek bond holdings, according to senior European officials."

What We Know:

Germany remains adamantly opposed to bailing out the periphery.

European and US macro data continues to weaken.

Greek debt is pricing in default, which, if it occurred, would be chaotic and unpredictable.

Austerity in the periphery is not working.

European sovereign yields continue to indicate worsening stress.

Over the past month Italy's 2-year yield has risen from 3.36% to 4.26% and its 10-year yield has risen from 5.07% to 5.60%.

Spain's 2-year yield has risen from 3.27% to 3.36% and its 10-year yield has risen from 5.00% to 5.05%

Germany's 2-year yield has fallen from 0.65% to 0.53% and its 10-year yield has fallen from 2.16% to 1.96%.

Contagion fears continue to increase.

The VIX has risen over the past month from 35.59 to 37.71.

Bank of America (BAC) CDS has widened from 333bps to 382bps.

Goldman Sachs (GS) CDS has widened from 240bps to 265bps.

Nothing's fixed and we're no closer to a fix. Bad news.

The good news is if history is any guide, we're likely no more than two to three weeks away from mercifully putting in a bottom for the rest of the year if we haven't already. Looking at those five years with Septembers more volatile than this one, the September-December low occurred on 10/3/74, 10/8/98, 9/21/01, 10/9/02, and 11/21/08 (though a major low in internals occurred on 10/10/08 and if you had bought that low you would've broken even through year-end). For whatever reason early-mid October is when final flush-outs tend to occur. Unfortunately this means the European crisis will most likely be the cause of yet more systemic pain in 2012
In a way these companies benefit from the current macro environment because it keeps valuations depressed and interest rates low, allowing them to borrow money cheaply and buy back more stock than they'd be able to at non-stressed valuations…’

THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH  September 29, 2011   http://www.etfdigest.com

http://albertpeia.com/circuswallstreet.jpg

Yes, Ive used this image before but it befits the past two months of frenetic two-way trading. Thursday markets moved sharply higher early on news of better Jobless Claims and GDP data plus the positive vote from the German parliament regarding funding their portion of the euro zones EFSF (European Financial Stability Facility).

Algos jumped on the headlines which is what theyre programmed to do. They dont look under the hood for details since given their momentary focus, facts dont matter”—not at least right away.

A closer look inside Jobless Claims data is the consistent revisions for higher previous claims. This makes current reports generally seem better by comparison. Further, the BLS states with this report the significant impact of seasonal factors skewing the report. The figures used to adjust the data typically look for a drop in un-adjusted claims heading into the end of a quarter. For last week however, the seasonal adjustment factors predicted unadjusted claims would rise 0.4 percent per the Labor Department. Instead, unadjusted applications followed the typical patterns at the end of quarters and plunged 8.2 percent, leading to the even bigger drop in the adjusted data.

Below is an analysis of the GDP report directly from the always reliable and probative Consumer Metrics Institute.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis's (BEA) third estimate of second quarter 2011 U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was reported to be 1.34%, an upward adjustment from their previous data. The new growth number was .36% higher than the number reported last month for the same quarter. It is important to remember that this new monthly report covered the same time periods as the previous reports -- meaning that this monthly set of changes in the numbers was caused by late arriving data at the BEA and not actual month to month improvements in the economy.

Among the items notable in the report
:

-- Aggregate consumer expenditures for goods was still reported to be contracting during the second quarter, dragging the overall growth rate of the economy down by a -0.38% rate. This is actually marginally weaker than the numbers in the earlier reports.

-- Consumer expenditures for services grew slightly during the quarter, at an improved (although still very sluggish) 0.87% annualized growth rate. But the adjustment in this single line item represented the bulk of the improvement in the headline number.

-- The growth rate of private fixed investments was only slightly higher, at a weak annualized 1.07% rate.

-- Inventories are still reported to have been drawn down during the quarter, indicating that production has slowed faster than demand. The revised estimate of inventory levels caused the overall growth rate to be reduced by a -0.28% annualized rate.

-- Total expenditures by governments at all levels was still reported to be shrinking, reducing overall economic activity at a -0.18% annualized rate.

-- Exports strengthened slightly relative to the earlier report, raising the contribution that they made to the overall GDP growth rate to 0.48%.

-- Imports decreased somewhat when compared to the earlier report, and are now reported to be removing -0.24% from the growth rate of the overall economy. The combination of the revisions in the import and export numbers contributed about half of the upward changes in the published headline number.

-- The growth rate of "real final sales of domestic product" was revised upward to an annualized 1.62%, as the result of the now higher consumer services figures, slightly improved foreign trade and the increased draw-down of inventories.

-- Working backwards from the data tables, the effective "deflater" used by the BEA to offset the impact of inflation was 2.58% -- still substantially below the rates reported by their sister agencies. Substituting the line-item appropriate (CPI or PPI) current inflation rate published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) causes the "real" GDP to be contracting at a -0.73% annualized rate.

-- And using the same alternate BLS "deflaters" the real
per-capita GDP can be shown to be contracting at a -1.45% annualized rate. Similarly, per-capita disposable income was contracting at a -0.92% annualized rate. These per-capita numbers are what impacts individual Americans and it is the real source of the frustration within the populace.

Not featured by the financial media beyond Bloomberg is Thursdays report and graph on their Consumer Comfort Survey which shows this index as back to 2008-09 levels. This is hardly encouraging.

Fed Governor Lockhart finds current jobless conditions perplexing and vexing according to this Bloomberg story. So if I have my synonyms and meanings right hes embarrassed and pissed-off which kind of disqualifies him from such a position.

Meanwhile back at Wall & Broad stocks as measured by the DJIA raced higher early by 260 points only to fall later by 45 points and then rally in stick save fashion to close 143 points higher. This really is the Greatest Show on Earth! The NASDAQ was lower by .43% led by semiconductor sectors (SMH) especially after a poor outlook from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), down nearly 14%. Also there is still some lingering confusion over iPads from Apple (AAPL) versus Fire from Amazon (AMZN). Financials were higher which helped much of the bigger names rally although the rationale was difficult to determine.

Commodities, including precious and base metals, oil and grains were higher overall. The dollar was down slightly and bonds were stronger.

Volume was modest most of the day until the large stick save was put in place to end the session. Breadth per the WSJ was positive once again as quarter-end window dressing is in full swing.

Now were not in a bear market yet but were frightfully close.

Friday brings the not so reliable U of Michigan Consumer Sentiment, Personal Income and Spending and the important Chicago PMI. Friday also will allow for more end-of-quarter window dressing.

NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN Dave’s Daily http://www.etfdigest.com September 30, 2011  ‘It’s probably not a “market” for men or women of any age at this point. Warren Buffett has put himself out there recently buying stock in Bank of America (BAC) and then suggesting Friday it might take 3-5 years for the company to clean things up. He also stated he’s received inquiries from European banks for a financial injection which isn’t a good sign. He’s also been highly visible averaging down buying shares in his own Berkshire Hathaway (BRK/A) with $5 billion in purchases already this quarter. He says he likes the president’s jobs bill although admitted to not knowing its details which is poor due diligence. He’s also unsure of just what Obama’s “Buffett Rule” means as it applies to incomes over $250K deflecting the level by talking about people making $50M or more. All this struck me as interesting and odd … So for stocks overall this is the worst performing quarter since 2008 when we were entering a bear market. Are we due for a repeat or is this just a continuation of the previous bear market? It gives us a sense of a 1930s like market which featured substantial bear market rallies. For the quarter the DJIA was down 12%, S&P 500 down 14.3% and Nasdaq Composite down 12.9%. European stocks in aggregate lost 17% …’

Yield Spread Confirming Recession Call http://www.zerohedge.com/news/guest-post-yield-spread-confirming-recession-call Lance Roberts of StreetTalk Advisors

Yield Spread Confirming Recession Call

Recession.   It is now becoming clearer, even to the mainstream media, that the "Big 'R'" is rapidly approaching, or already upon us.  Without further stimulus from the government the economy will continue its slide into negative growth.  Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the "Calvary" will be charging to the rescue anytime soon.   Bernanke, at this point has effectively punted to the Whitehouse for stimulative action.  The Whitehouse is embroiled in partisan politics which will keep any action from occurring until most likely after the next election.   This leaves the economy and the financial markets to their own devices, and much like kids without parental supervision, they are running amok.

I have been very vocal as of late commenting on the fact that a recession is fast approaching.   The trends of the economic numbers have all soured to the negative.   From manufacturing to personal incomes to sentiment they all are signaling a recession lay ahead.   Another confirming indicator of a recessionary track is the spread in yields between junk bonds and high quality bonds.  The chart here shows two different yield spreads.   The blue represents the difference in yields between AAA rated corporate bonds to BB rated bonds while the red represents the spread between 10-yr government treasuries to BB rated bonds.   The dotted horizontal lines represent when these spreads have signaled recessions in the economy.

When the economy is strong the spread between BB (Junk Bonds) and AAA Bonds or Government treasuries is much lower as the perceived risk of default on payment is lower.    In times of economic stress or recession the perceived risk of default or failure is much greater.   Currently, spreads at these levels are very indicative of economic stress and recessions.  The perceived risk of corporate failure is rising and spreads are widening as money leaves high risk bonds (driving interest rates higher) and moves to safer yielding bonds (keeping rates lower).   The wider the spread the harder it is for weak companies to access capital and corporate failures rise.  

On Friday, Lakshman Achuthan of the Economic Cycle Research Institute reviewed the weight of ECRI's research, observing "Now it's a done deal. We are going into a recession."

The spread in yields combined with our own research as well as that of the ECRI, which is a very conservative organization with calls generally way ahead of the consensus as we have repeatedly been, confirms that our views are most likely the correct one.

While the media tends to view the economy from one report to the next what is important is to understand the trend and the balance of the data on the whole.  Understanding the trend and balance will make you very unpopular with the rest of the world that consistently ops for the "glass half full" view  but will keep you from losing a lot of money in the long run.

John Hussman summed this view up well; "In contrast, good economists think about the economy as a system - where multiple sectors interact. We tend to use words like 'equilibrium' and 'syndrome' when we talk about economic data - emphasizing that the best signals involve a whole conformation of evidence, not one or two indicators, where the data - in combination - captures a particular signature of recession or recovery.

Look at how Achuthan described the situation on CNBC on Friday, and you'll see a good example of this sort of thinking:

'This is a done deal. We are going into a recession. We've been very objective about getting to this point, but last week we announced to our clients that we're slipping into a recession. This is the first time I'm saying it publicly. A broad range - this is not based on any one indicator - this is based on dozens of indicators for the United States - there is a contagion among those forward looking indicators that we only see at the onset of a business cycle recession.. These leading indicators, which are objective.. they have a certain pattern that they present in front of a recession, and that is in, that is in right now.'

'A recession is a process, and I think a lot of people don't understand that; they're looking for two negative quarters of GDP. But it is a process where sales disappoint, so production falls, employment falls, income falls, and then sales fall. That vicious circle has started. You're looking at the forward drivers of that, which are different indicators - there's not one - everything's imperfect. The Weekly Leading Index .. that is saying unequivocally, this is recession. Long Leading Index, which has a longer lead, is saying recession. Service sector indicators, non-financial services where 5 out of 8 Americans work, plunging. Manufacturing, going into contraction. Exports, collapsing. This is a deadly combination, we are not going to escape this, and it is a new recession.'

For investors, if you believe that current analyst estimates of forward operating earnings are correct, and you believe that the inappropriate bubble-era benchmarks for price-to-forward operating earnings are actually valid, and you've ignored all evidence that the Fed Model is spectacularly devoid of validity, and you believe that the only course for valuations is to move toward those misguided benchmarks regardless of what happens to Europe or the U.S. economy, then it's easy to believe that stocks will head higher.  For our part, we believe none of those things..."

We agree with John on this point.   These are points that we have written extensively on in the past.   In a low growth economic environment the persistent call for high growth rates in stock prices is dumbfounding.  History tells us that the corporate earnings, and ultimately capital appreciation, cannot grow faster than the economy for long.   Corporate earnings, and ultimately the prices paid for those earnings, are a reflection of the economy and not vice versa.

There is one final key point to all of this as it relates to the yield spread.   Investors face not only an oncoming recession here but also a probable sovereign default and recession in Europe.  The compounding of these factors translates into heightened credit risk here in the U.S. (as noted by credit spreads jumping  higher recently) and corporations do not borrow at the 10-year treasury rate.  They borrow from the bond market and the rising costs of borrowing due to rising credit risk impacts corporate profitability.  Expectations for earnings growth going into 2012 is still extremely high with current estimates sitting at an all-time record for the S&P 500 index next year.   The reality of that occurring is almost nil.   In turn, this means that prices will have to be adjusted for the reality of a recessionary economy which is why the average decline of stocks during a recession is about 33%.  

John Hussman summed our current stance up very well:  "Still, as always, we're data-driven, and there are possible combinations of evidence (not in hand at the moment) that could move us to a modestly or moderately constructive investment stance even in the context of broader economic risks. My impression continues to be that the best hope for a sustained advance (early on, probably only several weeks or a few months in duration) is from substantially lower levels, but we'll take our evidence as it comes. Suffice it to say that we remain defensive here, but are quite willing to shift our investment stance if the evidence supports that."   Well said.

‘Things are getting truly desperate in Europe. I’d like to show just how bad they are by way of example: the Belgian bank Dexia, which is now in the process of being nationalized.

For starters, Dexia had 566 billion euros in debt and 19 billion euros in equity as of the end of 2010. Right off the bat, that’s a leverage ratio of 29 to 1. Lehman Brothers was leveraged at 30 to 1 when it collapsed.

Now consider that Belgium’s entire GDP is just 348 billion euros. Dexia has 566 billion euros in assets. Of this 352 billion are loans. Put another way, Dexia’s loan portfolio alone is larger than its home country’s entire economy.

AND THIS BANK PASSED THE STRESS TESTS.

Suffice to say, Europe’s banking system is in far FAR worse shape than anyone over there is admitting. The stress tests were complete and total fiction. And the market is starting to figure this out.

Small wonder then that had both the IMF and the Bank of England have recently warned that the world is facing a “financial meltdown” and “the worst financial crisis in history.”

 

Ben Bernanke issued his own statement of doom last week as well, stating that his precious recovery is “close to faltering.” For a guy who’s spent TRILLIONS trying to create a recovery to admit things aren’t working out ought to give you an idea of just how bad things will be getting in the near future.

Indeed, stocks were rejected last at a descending trendline from the July top.

We should have at least gotten a bounce to the 38.2% retracement (1,200 on the S&P 500). So if the market fails to get there and simply rolls over here, then we’re going DOWN in a big way FAST.

Here is the reality of the financial system today: 

§  The European banking system is facing systemic collapse.

§  The US economy has rolled over and is in a confirmed double dip in the context of a larger DE-pression.

§  The Central Banks and regulators have admitted we are peering into the abyss and they have no clue what to do.

 Yes, I believe that before this mess ends, the financial system as a whole will have collapsed. What's coming is going to make 2008 look like a joke.

If you have yet to prepare yourself for what’s coming, now is the time to do so. Whether it’s by moving to cash and bullion, opening some shorts, or simply getting out of the markets altogether, now is the time to be preparing for what’s coming (remember, stocks took six months to bottom after Lehman… and that was when the Fed still had some bullets left to combat the collapse).

And if you’re looking for specific ideas to profit from this mess, mr Surviving a Crisis Four Times Worse Than 2008 report can show you how to turn the unfolding disaster into a time of gains and profits for any investor.

Within its nine pages I explain precisely how the Second Round of the Crisis will unfold, where it will hit hardest, and the best means of profiting from it (the very investments my clients used to make triple digit returns in 2008).

FINANCIAL CRISIS

"ROUND TWO" SURVIVAL GUIDE THIS BEAR MARKET IS NOWHERE NEAR OVER. Since its March 10 low of 666 in 2009, the S&P 500 rally has been almost unstoppable. Pundits and media commentators alike have taken this to mean that the bear market is over and that stocks should once again be the primary asset class for investors. None of them knows what they’re talking about. Over the last 30 years, the US has built up record debts on a personal, state, and national level. Consumers thought they were financially stable so long as they could cover the interest payments on their credit cards, states created program after program few if any of which they could afford, and the Federal Government issued $30-50 trillion in debt and liabilities (counting Social Security and Medicare). This all came to a screeching halt when the housing bubble (arguably the biggest debt bubble in history) imploded in 2007. Since that time, stocks have staged one of their worst years on record (2008), one in five us mortgages has fallen underwater (meaning the mortgage loan is worth more than the home itself), and some trillions in US household wealth has evaporated. These issues seem to be distinct, but in reality they all stem from a debt problem. And as you know, there is only one legitimate way to deal with a debt problem: Pay it off. However, instead of doing this, the Feds (the Federal Reserve, Treasury Dept, etc.) have been producing EVEN MORE DEBT. Here’s a brief recap of their moves thus far: • The Federal Reserve cuts interest rates from 5.25‐0.25% (Sept ’07 today) • The Bear Stearns deal/ Fed buys $30 billion in junk mortgages (March ’08) • The Fed opens various lending windows to investment banks (March ’08) • The SEC proposes banning shortselling on financial stocks (July ’08) • The Treasury buys Fannie/Freddie for $400 billion (Sept ’08) • The Fed takes over AIG for $85 billion (Sept ’08) • The Fed doles out $25 billion for the auto makers (Sept ’08) • The Feds’ $700 billion Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) (Oct ’08)

• The Fed buys commercial paper (nonbank debt) from nonfinancials (Oct ’08) • The Fed offers $540 billion to backstop money market funds (Oct ’08) • The Feds backstops up to $280 billion of Citigroup’s liabilities (Oct ’08). • Another $40 billion to AIG (Nov ’08) • The Fed backstops up $140 billion of Bank of America’s liabilities (Jan ’09) • Obama’s $787 Billion Stimulus (Jan ’09) • The Fed’s $300 billion Quantitative Easing Program (Mar ’09) • The Fed buying $1.25 trillion in agency mortgage backed securities (Mar ’09 ’10) • The Fed buying $200 billion in agency debt (Mar ’09’10) • Cash for Clunkers I & II (JulyAugust ’09) And that’s a BRIEF recap (I’m sure I left something out). In a nutshell, The Feds have tried to combat a debt problem by ISSUING MORE DEBT. They’re pumping trillions of dollars into the financial system, trying to prop Wall Street and the stock market. They’ve managed to kick off a rally in stocks… But they HAVE NOT ADDRESSED THE FUNDAMENTAL ISSUES PLAGUING THE FINANCIAL MARKET. Stocks are headed for another Crash, possibly as bad as the one we saw in October November 2008. As you know, that Crash wiped out $11 trillion in household wealth in a matter of weeks. There’s no telling the damage this Second Round will cause. The Feds have thrown everything they’ve got (including the kitchen sink) at the financial crisis… and things are fundamentally no better than they were before: most major banks are insolvent, one in five US mortgages is underwater, and the stock market is being largely propped up by in‐house trading from a few key players (Goldman Sachs, UBS, etc). Make no mistake, we are rapidly headed for ugly times in the financial markets. The time to prepare yourself is NOW! And I’ve located several investments that will not only protect your portfolio… they’ll also help you turn a profit when this “house of cards” we call a market rally comes crashing down. I’ve detailed all of them in this report, The Financial Crisis “Round Two” Survival

Guide.

Two Ways Stocks Pay: Inflation and Dividends Before we get into the specific investment suggestions, it’s important to take a big picture of stocks as an asset class. The common consensus is that stocks return an average of 6% a year (at least going back to 1900).

However, a study by the London Business School recently revealed that when you

remove dividends, stocks’ gains drop to a mere 1.7% a year (even lower than

the return from longterm

Treasury bonds over the same period). Put another way, dividends account for 70% of the average US stock returns since 1900. When you remove dividends, stocks actually offer LESS reward and MORE risk than bonds. If you’d invested $1 in stocks in 1900, you’d have made $582 with reinvested dividends adjusted for inflation vs. a mere $6 from price appreciation. So as much as the CNBC crowd (and out serial bubble blowing Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke) would like to believe that the way to make money in stocks is buying low and selling high, the reality is that the vast majority of gains from stocks stem from dividends. The remaining gains have come largely from inflation. Bill King, Chief Market Strategist M. Ramsey King Securities recently published the following chart comparing REAL GDP (light blue), GDP when you account for inflation (dark blue), and the Dow Jones’ performance (black) over the last 30 years. What follows is a clear picture that since the mid-70s MOST of the perceived stock gains have come from inflation.

Which brings us to today. According to official data, the S&P 500 is currently trading at a Price to Earnings (P/E) ratio of 20 and yields 1.7%. In plain terms, stocks are expensive (historic average for P/E is 15) and paying little. In other words, there is little incentive, other than future inflation expectations, for owning stocks right now.

With this in mind, now is the time to be pruning your “long” holdings. We’ve had a spectacular run in stocks since the March 2009 low and the likelihood of this continuing much longer is relatively slim. Running Out of Buyers By most historic metrics, the market is showing signs of a significant top. Here are just a few key metrics: 1) Investor sentiment is back to super bullish autumn 2007 levels. 2) Insider selling to buying ratios are back to autumn 2007 levels (insiders are selling the farm). 3) Money market fund assets are at 2007 levels (indicating that investors have gone “all in” with stocks). 4) Mutual fund cash levels are at a historic low. This final point is key. Mutual funds are the “big boys” of the investment world. If they have become fully invested in the market, this means there are few buyers left to push stocks higher. This is evident in the fact that every time mutual fund cash levels dropped, stocks collapsed soon after (see chart below).

http://home.comcast.net/~RoyAshworth/Mutual_Fund_Cash_Levels/Mutual_Fund_Cash_Levels.htm

In plain terms, the odds are high that a Top is forming in stocks. With that in mind, if your portfolio is heavily invested in stocks, now is a time to be taking some profits. If you can, consider moving a sizable chunk into cash. The market is extremely tired and the systemic risks underlying the Financial Crisis are in no way resolved. With investor complacency (as measured by the VIX) back to pre‐Crash levels, the Fed withdrawing several of its more significant market props, and low participation coming from the larger institutions, this market is ripe for a serious correction. I’m not saying this will immediately happen. But at some point there will be a new round to the Financial Crisis. When that happens, we WILL have another Crash. Indeed, it is quite possible that stocks are making a VERY significant top, so being heavily invested in stocks going forward doesn’t make much sense. Take some money off the table. If you need a place to put it, I suggest physical cash or Gold/ Silver bullion. If You MUST Stay Long, Shift to Quality If you DO have to stay invested in stocks, now is the time to be shifting out of junk into quality. The market rally from March 2009 has largely been lead by junk companies (financials, retailers, etc). Meanwhile, quality has lagged dramatically. As an example, let’s compare the performance of Coke (KO) to Bank of America (BAC). KO is one of the best, most profitable brands in the world. The competitive moat around this business is extraordinary and it remains one of the most easily recognized franchises on the planet. You can drink six glasses of Coke a day and still enjoy it the next day. That quality is almost nowhere to be found in any other food/ beverage on the planet: even chocolate would get old after six bars a day. BAC on the other hand has swallowed Countrywide Financial AND Merrill Lynch’s garbage assets. It is effectively insolvent based on its derivative exposure alone (the company has derivatives equal to 3,000% of assets). BAC’s balance sheet is like an open sewer and without serious government intervention the company would not even exist right now. And yet, BAC’s stock has risen nearly 200% since the March ‘09 lows… while KO is up less than 50%.

This relationship works to the downside as well. What I mean is that when stocks come unhinged, Quality (Coke) then outperforms Garbage (Bank of America) hands down.

So, if you HAVE to remain invested in stocks to the long side for whatever reason, now is the time to be moving into high quality companies. This means finding companies with low debt, lots of cash, strong results (KO actually GREW revenues in 2008), and significant competitive advantages. Also, and this is critical, look for companies with strong balance sheets: companies that will still EXIST if there’s another Crisis. Depression or no, people will still drink soda, alcohol, smoke cigarettes, and need medicine. I’ve compiled a list of companies you should consider if you need to remain involved in stocks going forward: Company Symbol Sector Price/ Cash

Flow

Dividend

Yield Coke KO Soft Drinks 15 3.2%

Budweiser BUD Alcohol 14 N/A J&J JNJ Medicine 10 3.02% WalMart WMT General Retail 8 2.16% Exxon Mobil XOM Oil 11 2.51% You’ll note that most of these companies pay decent dividends (compared to the S&P 500’s 1.7%). This is critical going forward. With stocks overvalued, you want to make sure you’re at least getting paid for remaining involved in the market. However, there is an added bonus to owning Quality stocks right now. Because this market rally has largely been dominated by Garbage stocks, Quality companies like Coke have not yet risen to extreme valuations. Thus, you can still buy them at relatively cheap levels (less than 15 times cash flow). So, in a sense, they are a good investment based on pricing as well. I want to stress that these investments are only if you HAVE to stay in stocks for some reason. If there is another collapse these companies will fall like everything else. However, they will likely fall less than the rest of the market (see the chart comparing Coke and the S&P 500 below).

source: Yahoo Finance So while I do not expect these positions to make a lot of money now (these are not short-term trades), they should shelter you from losing too much money should another Crash hit. Indeed, if the market DOES collapse and these companies fall 10- 15% across the board (while the market falls 30%+) I would consider these investments even MORE attractive than they are today. Let me explain. Volatility can either hurt you or be your friend. Most people would sell a position if it fell 20-30%. This is wise if you’re investing based on momentum. However, if

you’re investing based on value, then doing this is completely antithetical to attaining high returns. Consider Coke. Let’s say tomorrow Coke collapsed from $55 to $25 per share. Most investors would panic and sell. I, on the other hand, would be buying greedily. Why? Because Coke’s business has a fundamental value. Even during a Financial Crisis and Depression, people will continue to drink soda. So the opportunity to buy Coke at $25 a share (which would be 7-8 times cash flow) would be truly an extraordinary opportunity. Indeed, from an income perspective alone, the opportunity here would be fantastic. Consider that in 2009, Coke paid out $1.76 in dividends. With shares at $55, this means a dividend yield of 3.2% (roughly three times what you’d get by leaving your money in a savings account). However, if Coke shares fell to $25, that $1.76 suddenly becomes a 7% yield

($1.75/ $25.00). That’s a heck of a return from an income perspective. Even if

globally the world entered a sharp Depression and Coke’s income fell by 30%,

pulling its payouts down to $1.23, you’re still looking at a 5% yield. Indeed, companies like Coke offer the potential of REAL value should their share prices drop. Their fundamentals almost ALWAYS outperform investor sentiment. What I mean by this is that should there be another Collapse, Coke’s share price will almost certainly fall MORE from its current levels than Coke’s cash payouts or income will from theirs. During 2008, Coke shares fell 30% or so. However, Coke actually INCREASED its dividend that year. Anyone who bought Coke in October 2008, now collects a 4% yield on their shares (four times what he or she would get from a bank account). This is why companies like Coke remain so strong during times of Crisis. With the FDIC broke and most US banks insolvent, investors desperately need a place to park cash that will still EXIST in a few years. Companies like Coke are a reasonable alternative to a savings account in the sense that you’re paid a higher yield for your deposit (now 3%, but 5% or higher if Coke shares plunge). Of course, because Coke is a stock, you can lose 1015%

or more if shares drop and you sell. In a Crisis, plain old cash will outperform just about anything.

This is why I’ve suggested moving money to cash, if you can. It’s also why I

suggested buying Coke and the other companies listed above only IF you HAVE

to be in stocks right now.

Catastrophe Insurance: Trades For When the Collapse Hits

Now is also the time to be taking out some “Catastrophe Insurance” by compiling a list of trades to make once stocks begin to collapse. Let me be clear, these are not

trades that you’ll make right now… these are trades you’ll make WHEN stocks

collapse.

Personally, I favor UltraShort ETFs. If you’re unfamiliar with UltraShort ETFs, these are invetsments that return 2X the inverse of a particular ETF. Let’s take an example, the UltraShort Financials ETF (SKF). SKF returns 2X the inverse of the Financials ETF (IYF). So if IYF falls 5%, SKF rises 10%. If IYF falls 10%, SKF rises 20%. In this sense, SKF is a great “hedge” or means of playing Financial stocks to the downside. However, there’s an added bonus to UltraShort ETFs like SKF: these investments ALSO trade based on demand from the marketplace. So if stocks collapse say 30%, you might actually see gains GREATER than 60% (2X the inverse) due to investors piling in as they seek to profit from the collapse. Consider SKF’s performance in 2008, for example. In 2008, financial stocks (as measured by the Financials ETF: IYF), fell roughly 50%.

However, if you’d bought SKF once the Crisis really took hold (late September), you could have made MORE than 100% in two month’s time:

This is what makes the UltraShort ETFs so handy when a Crisis hits: because they truly skyrocket as investors stampede like elephants into safety. However, I MUST STRESS that these are not investments to “buy and hold”.

Instead, these are shortterm

trades you should make ONLY once stocks have

begun to truly collapse. Simply add them to your “on deck” trades to make

once the next Crisis hits. You’re probably asking yourself, “how can I distinguish between an ordinary

correction and a REAL Crisis?” Let’s see what history shows us. If you recall from 2008, stocks didn’t go straight down. Instead they dropped, bounced, and then began the serious collapse. Looking back at that time, the 50 DMA served as a useful metric for gauging that a serious decline was about to begin:

As you can see stocks rolled over and broke below their 50DMA in late 2007. After that, the 50DMA acted as strong resistance. Indeed, there was only one bounce above this level, which lasted roughly a month and a half. The real trouble began in the summer of 2008, and investors were given a decent warning when the S&P 500 collapsed and then bounced to test the 50‐DMA and failed to break it.

Similar warnings appeared before the 1987 Crash:

The Tech Bubble:

And the 2008 Crash:

Thus, this tells us that the 50DMA is a strong metric for gauging when real trouble hits stocks again. On that note, the trigger you should be looking for in terms of

when the next Crash will hit will be a decisive break BELOW the 50DMA

followed by a strong bounce that FAILS to break above it again. With that in mind, here are some trades to put “on deck” for when the next round of the Crisis hits. Trade #1: Short the Russell 2000

The Russell 2000 is perhaps the junkiest index in the US. Many of the companies that

comprise this index don’t even MAKE money and most likely should have never been

taken public in the first place. This is the “risk” index, the index of companies that are

garbage. For that reason, the Russell 2000 will collapse most when stocks truly begin

rolling over.

The below chart compares the Russell 2000’s performance against that of the Dow Jones

Industrial Average during the 2008 Crash. As you can see, the Russell dropped

significantly more:

For this reason, I suggest buying the UltraShort Russell 2000 ETF (TWM) when the

market begins its next real collapse.

The UltraShort Russell 2000 ETF (TWM) returns 2X the inverse of the Russell 2000.

So if the Russell 2000 falls 5%, TWM returns 10%. If the Russell 2000 falls 10%, TWM

returns 20%. It’s a terrific means of playing the collapse in small cap stocks.

Again, wait for stocks to enter a free fall before opening this trade.

Trade #2: Short Financials

By now you know that the current Crisis has centered on the financial sector, specifically

the banks. The Protect Your Savings report details the issues extensively. However, as

further proof, the below chart shows that US banks are about to get slammed with another

round of mortgage defaults from the residential housing sector (I’m not even going to

bother including the commercial real estate market which is a multi-billion time bomb in

of itself).

Suffice to say, Financials have a lot of issues coming their way in the future. For that

reason, when the next Round of the Crisis hits, I suggest buying the UltraShort

Financials ETF (SKF).

SKF returns 2X the inverse of the Financials ETF (IYF). So if the IYF falls 5%, SKF

returns 10%. If the IYF falls 10%, SKF returns 20%. It’s a terrific means of playing the

collapse in financials stocks.

Again, wait for stocks to enter a free fall before opening this trade.

Trade #3: Short the Retail ETF

The US consumer accounts for 70% of US GDP. Real unemployment is currently close to 17%. Food Stamp usage is around a record 38 million. Tax receipts for 2010 so far are LOWER than 2009’s levels (didn’t everyone think the entire world was ending back then?). And yet, retail stocks are back to their 2007 highs:

As you can see, retail stocks in general are up nearly 200% during the worst recession in decades. It’s simply staggering. For that reason, I suggest Shorting the

Retail ETF (XRT) when stocks start to collapse. XRT gives broad exposure to the retail sector. Its top holdings are: Company % of Assets Casey General Stores 1.9% Gamestop 1.9% Jos A Bank Clothiers 1.8% Netflix 1.8% Tractor Supply 1.7% Annetaylor Stores 1.7% Limited Brands 1.7% Childrens PI Retail Stores 1.7% Best Buy 1.6% Abercrombie and Fitch 1.6% Shorting this ETF gives you the opportunity to short retail across the board. However, if you’re more inclined to short specific companies, I’d focus on apparel and clothing retailers like Gap (GPS), Limited Brands (LTD), Nordstrom (JWN), and the like. As with the other trades, only enter these shorts when the market begins to enter a free fall.

Trade #4: Short the Emerging Markets Emerging markets have leaded the US on this latest rally: they bottomed back in November 2008, while US stocks continued to plunge until March 2009. That’s not the only “leading” emerging markets have done. While the S&P 500 is up some 60% from its March lows, China, Brazil and their kind have all more than DOUBLED from the November 2008 lows.

This relationship will reverse in the next Crisis.

During times of Crisis, the “flight to safety” involves institutional investors dumping

their foreign shares to load up on Treasuries or other perceived “safe havens.”

Consequently, emerging markets are hit hardest when the markets collapse.

For that reason, when the next collapse begins I suggest shorting emerging markets via

any number of inverse Ultrashort ETFs. The most popular ones are:

1) The UltraShort Emerging markets ETF (EEV)

2) The UltraShort China ETF (FXP)

3) The UltraShort Brazil ETF (BZQ)

All three of these return 2X the inverse of an underlying index: the MSCI Emerging

Markets ETF, the FTSE/ Xinhua 25 ETF, and the Brazil ETF, respectively. As such, they

represent a great way to pocket major gains when the emerging markets collapse along

with the rest of the financial world during the next Crisis.

As with the other trades, only enter these shorts when the market begins to enter a free fall.

Did LSD help make Steve Jobs more creative? Slate

Alex P. Keaton, an alternative history Josh Brown

 

 

Steve Jobs and America’s decline — Greg Ip in the Economist Oct 6th 2011, G.I. | WASHINGTON [ That Steve Jobs was great for having literally saved Apple Computer from extinction, there is no question and I’ve previously eulogized him accordingly, ‘pre-death’ (my first computer was an AppleIIc in 1986). Related story: ‘Did LSD help make Steve Jobs more creative? — Slate  Yet, for every story as his, the Beatles (my favorite band all-time, along with the Classical Greats), etc., I can relate a multitude of stories of tragedy, disaster, including one of a quite brilliant lad I worked with – summer job – who expounded on the benefits of LSD expanding one’s mind {repeatedly recommending I try it – I didn’t- never did} was accepted at Columbia Law School, and while hitchhiking while high in mind-expansion-mode walked into a mack truck thereby expanding his mind (and body) all over the roadway, etc..]  ‘EARLIER this year a Federal Reserve official tried to tamp down worries about inflation by noting that, while food and petrol were getting more expensive, you could now buy an iPad that was twice as powerful for the same price as the previous model. The remark, soon lampooned as “Let them eat iPads”, predictably drew derision. But it typified a tactic to which American leaders frequently turn when they need a rejoinder to economic doomsaying: cite an Apple product.As bad as their politics has got, Americans could always comfort themselves with the knowledge that their business leaders, entrepreneurs and workers were the most dynamic and innovative in the world. But they may look back on 2011 and see three events that undermine that story: the downgrade of America’s credit rating; the last flight of the space shuttle; and Mr Jobs’s death. The first, coming as it did on the heels of a debilitating and entirely pointless fight over raising the debt ceiling, captures how American political dysfunction has undermined the economy’s institutional pillars. The latter two symbolised the waning of, respectively, American public and private technological pre-eminence.

Of course, it would be foolish to count out Apple, much less an entire economy, because of one mans death. Yet even if Apple remains as successful as it has been under Mr Jobs, that success long ago decoupled from that of the broader economy. Written on the back of my iPod are the words, Designed by Apple in California, Assembled in China. It was classic Jobs: reframing an issue, the outsourcing of American manufacturing jobs, as something inspirational rather than discouraging. The low-skill assembly jobs and the middle-class lives they provided may be leaving for Asian shores, but the brainy, wealth-creating parts of the processthe design, the engineering, the marketingwere firmly rooted in Silicon Valley. Free traders (including me) loved to cite the research that finds far more of the value in an iPod is added in America than in China.

But behind this glowing story of synergy between American brains and Chinese brawn lay a more disturbing reality. American global economic leadership has, in the last decade, benefited an ever narrower slice of its people. They have become fabulously wealthy, while the vast majority of job growth has been in areas like education and health care, where productivity and wages are stagnant, a trend well documented by Michael Spence. American global business leadership used to be personified by the likes of General Motors, Caterpillar, General Electric and Eastman Kodak. As they lost market share to foreign competitors, shifted employment overseas or flirted with bankruptcy, the focus turned to technology companies like Cisco Systems, Microsoft and Hewlett Packard. Microsoft and Cisco are both fine, though in recent years they have undergone layoffs and seen their market values shrink to a fraction of their bubble-era peaks. Hewlett Packard, of course, is flailing around for a new business model, and is seeking to exit the personal-computer business altogether.

Americans' entrepreneurial self-esteem is now embodied by Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon. These are indeed fabulously innovative companies with world-beating business models. Yet one wonders if they are increasingly the exception, not the rule, and if the passing of Mr Jobs is simply the most prominent example of a broader decline in American entrepreneurship. According to JPMorgan, in the late 1990s, employment at start-up companies regularly grew 1.2m per quarter. That has fallen to 700,000 since the current recovery began. John Haltiwanger, probably the leading economist on employment dynamics by firm size, finds similar trends.

Entrepreneurship and innovation, of course, are not the same thing. Yet even if American innovation is fundamentally sound, there remains the more unsettling problem of how narrowly its fruits are shared. If you want to know why the Senate is on the verge of passing a bill punishing China for its trade practices, look no further than this fact: Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon collectively employ just 113,000 people, a third of GMs payroll in 1980. Naturally, as Adam Smith pointed out long ago, the sole purpose of production is consumption, so one should not scoff at the benefits these companies create for Americans in their other role as consumers rather than workers. And in truth, technological advancement has probably done far more than trade to hollow out the middle class and widen inequality. Slapping China with punitive tariffs is more likely to trigger a trade war than restore millions of middle-class jobs.

But this is not a message that resonates with voters, or Congress. Both suspect that globalisation has done far more to benefit companies shareholders and their bankers than rank-and-file workers. That is the conviction of the people now occupying Wall Street, even if they lack coherent plans for dealing with it. And one can't blame them for suspecting the administrations motives when its ambassador to China delivers a speech that so prominently takes up the cause of American credit-card companies. Of course, Visa and Mastercard are as deserving of government support in foreign markets as any metal-bending company; but they only employ 12,600 people worldwide.

It would be unfair to lay this all at the feet of American politicians: widening inequality and the decline of middle-class manufacturing jobs is a global phenomenon that vexes governments everywhere. Yet this does not excuse American governance for making matters worse. There are lots of things it could do to improve the ability of and incentives for American companies and workers to innovate and grow, whether its taxing fossil fuels, giving more green cards to foreign scientists and engineers or simplifying the tax code. These days, however, that seems a fantasy compared to more prosaic demands such as, dont shut down the government, starve critical government agencies of funds or default on the national debt. If America is going to hold on to its technological mojo, it needs all the help it can get.

9 things you didn’t know about the life of Steve Jobs  ‘For all of his years in the spotlight at the helm of Apple, Steve Jobs in many ways remains an inscrutable figure — even in his death. Fiercely private, Jobs concealed most specifics about his personal life, from his curious family life to the details of his battle with pancreatic cancer — a disease that ultimately claimed him on Wednesday, at the age of 56.

While the CEO and co-founder of Apple steered most interviews away from the public fascination with his private life, there's plenty we know about Jobs the person, beyond the Mac and the iPhone. If anything, the obscure details of his interior life paint a subtler, more nuanced portrait of how one of the finest technology minds of our time grew into the dynamo that we remember him as today.

1. Early life and childhood
Jobs was born in San Francisco on February 24, 1955. He was adopted shortly after his birth and reared near Mountain View, California by a couple named Clara and Paul Jobs. His adoptive father
a term that Jobs openly objected to was a machinist for a laser company and his mother worked as an accountant.

Later in life, Jobs discovered the identities of his estranged parents. His birth mother, Joanne Simpson, was a graduate student at the time and later a speech pathologist; his biological father, Abdulfattah John Jandali, was a Syrian Muslim who left the country at age 18 and reportedly now serves as the vice president of a Reno, Nevada casino. While Jobs reconnected with Simpson in later years, he and his biological father remained estranged.

2. College dropout
The lead mind behind the most successful company on the planet never graduated from college, in fact, he didn't even get close. After graduating from high school in Cupertino, California — a town now synonymous with 1 Infinite Loop, Apple's headquarters — Jobs enrolled in Reed College in 1972. Jobs stayed at Reed (a liberal arts university in Portland, Oregon) for only one semester, dropping out quickly due to the financial burden the private school's steep tuition placed on his parents.

In his famous 2005 commencement speech to Stanford University, Jobs said of his time at Reed: "It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5 cent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the seven miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple."

3. Fibbed to his Apple co-founder about a job at Atari
Jobs is well known for his innovations in personal computing, mobile tech, and software, but he also helped create one of the best known video games of all-time. In 1975, Jobs was
tapped by Atari to work on the Pong-like game Breakout.

He was reportedly offered $750 for his development work, with the possibility of an extra $100 for each chip eliminated from the game's final design. Jobs recruited Steve Wozniak (later one of Apple's other founders) to help him with the challenge. Wozniak managed to whittle the prototype's design down so much that Atari paid out a $5,000 bonus but Jobs kept the bonus for himself, and paid his unsuspecting friend only $375, according to Wozniak's own autobiography.

4. The wife he leaves behind
Like the rest of his family life, Jobs kept his marriage out of the public eye. Thinking back on his legacy conjures images of him commanding the stage in his trademark black turtleneck and jeans, and those solo moments are his most iconic. But at home in Palo Alto, Jobs was raising a family with his wife, Laurene, an entrepreneur who attended the University of Pennsylvania's prestigious Wharton business school and later received her MBA at Stanford, where she first met her future husband.

For all of his single-minded dedication to the company he built from the ground up, Jobs actually skipped a meeting to take Laurene on their first date: "I was in the parking lot with the key in the car, and I thought to myself, 'If this is my last night on earth, would I rather spend it at a business meeting or with this woman?' I ran across the parking lot, asked her if she'd have dinner with me. She said yes, we walked into town and we've been together ever since."

In 1991, Jobs and Powell were married in the Ahwahnee Hotel at Yosemite National Park, and the marriage was officiated by Kobin Chino, a Zen Buddhist monk.

5. His sister is a famous author
Later in his life, Jobs crossed paths with his biological sister while seeking the identity of his birth parents. His sister, Mona Simpson (born Mona Jandali), is the well-known author of
Anywhere But Here a story about a mother and daughter that was later adapted into a film starring Natalie Portman and Susan Sarandon.

After reuniting, Jobs and Simpson developed a close relationship. Of his sister, he told a New York Times interviewer: "We're family. She's one of my best friends in the world. I call her and talk to her every couple of days.'' Anywhere But Here is dedicated to "my brother Steve."

6. Celebrity romances
In
The Second Coming of Steve Jobs, an unauthorized biography, a friend from Reed reveals that Jobs had a brief fling with folk singer Joan Baez. Baez confirmed the the two were close "briefly," though her romantic connection with Bob Dylan is much better known (Dylan was the Apple icon's favorite musician). The biography also notes that Jobs went out with actress Diane Keaton briefly.

7. His first daughter
When he was 23, Jobs and his high school girlfriend Chris Ann Brennan conceived a daughter, Lisa Brennan Jobs. She was born in 1978, just as Apple began picking up steam in the tech world. He and Brennan never married, and Jobs reportedly
denied paternity for some time, going as far as stating that he was sterile in court documents. He went on to father three more children with Laurene Powell. After later mending their relationship, Jobs paid for his first daughter's education at Harvard. She graduated in 2000 and now works as a magazine writer.

8. Alternative lifestyle
In a few interviews, Jobs hinted at his early experience with the psychedelic drug LSD. Of Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Jobs said: "I wish him the best, I really do. I just think he and Microsoft are a bit narrow. He'd be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger."

The connection has enough weight that Albert Hofmann, the Swiss scientist who first synthesized (and took) LSD, appealed to Jobs for funding for research about the drug's therapeutic use.

In a book interview, Jobs called his experience with the drug "one of the two or three most important things I have done in my life." As Jobs himself has suggested, LSD may have contributed to the "think different" approach that still puts Apple's designs a head above the competition.

Jobs will forever be a visionary, and his personal life also reflects the forward-thinking, alternative approach that vaulted Apple to success. During a trip to India, Jobs visited a well-known ashram and returned to the U.S. as a Zen Buddhist.

Jobs was also a pescetarian who didn't consume most animal products, and didn't eat meat other than fish. A strong believer in Eastern medicine, he sought to treat his own cancer through alternative approaches and specialized diets before reluctantly seeking his first surgery for a cancerous tumor in 2004.

9. His fortune
As the CEO of the
world's most valuable brand, Jobs pulled in a comically low annual salary of just $1. While the gesture isn't unheard of in the corporate world   Google's Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Eric Schmidt all pocketed the same 100 penny salary annually Jobs has kept his salary at $1 since 1997, the year he became Apple's lead executive. Of his salary, Jobs joked in 2007: "I get 50 cents a year for showing up, and the other 50 cents is based on my performance."

In early 2011, Jobs owned 5.5 million shares of Apple. After his death, Apple shares were valued at $377.64 a roughly 43-fold growth in valuation over the last 10 years that shows no signs of slowing down.

He may only have taken in a single dollar per year, but Jobs leaves behind a vast fortune. The largest chunk of that wealth is the roughly $7 billion from the sale of Pixar to Disney in 2006. In 2011, with an estimated net worth of $8.3 billion, he was the 110th richest person in the world, according to Forbes. If Jobs hadn't sold his shares upon leaving Apple in 1985 (before returning to the company in 1996), he would be the world's fifth richest individual.

While there's no word yet on plans for his estate, Jobs leaves behind three children from his marriage to Laurene Jobs (Reed, Erin, and Eve), as well as his first daughter, Lisa Brennan-Jobs.

Did LSD help make Steve Jobs more creative? Slate { Id say causation (cause/effect) becomes problematic here; a chicken and egg kind of thing that in the realm of Kantian philosophy would be considered a noumenon; quite possibly even misconstrued by Jobs himself in an overly humble, somewhat self-effacing kind of way, ignoring his innate abilty, brilliance. }  [ That Steve Jobs was great for having literally saved Apple Computer from extinction, there is no question and Ive previously eulogized him accordingly, pre-death (my first computer was an AppleIIc in 1986).

The impact of phony short-squeeze rallies Ritholtz  http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/2011/10/the-mmpact-of-phoney-short-squeezes

Stock investors may take days to distinguish real news from noise, according to Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/1007chart.jpg

This is especially true these days, given false announcements of bailouts, Fed interventions and rescues. They tend to cause fake short squeezes that temporarily spike markets, only to see them ultimately head lower.

To get a closer look of noise on markets, the FFRBNY studied how UALs stock moved in September 2008. At the time, a six-year-old report on the companys bankruptcy filing appeared online and was treated as a new story.

David Wilson of Bloomberg has the details:

UAL, which later became United Continental Holdings Inc., plunged as much as 76 percent on Sept. 8, 2008, in response to the error. While UALs loss narrowed to 11 percent by the close of trading, the shares fell the next two days before rebounding.

Residual effects attributable to the false news shock lasted for seven trading days, the researchers wrote this week in a blog posting on the New York Feds website. The effect is at odds with the efficient-market hypothesis, which holds that share prices reflect all publicly available data on a company.

To identify the time period, they estimated where UALs shares would have traded if the outdated report hadnt surfaced. The projection was derived from the performance of the Standard & Poors 500 Index, the Bloomberg World Airlines Index and crude oil during the period. The posting by economists Carlos Carvalho, Nicholas Klagge and Emanuel Moench was based on a report they published in May 2009 and revised in June. Carvalho, who teaches economics at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, worked at the New York Fed when the research was originally done. His two co- authors are still there.

Given every twitch of the market over tales of EU/ECB action, German banks bailing out Italy, or anything related to Greece, it is interesting to see how traders behave relative to false announcements.

 

IMF to Propose New Short-Term Credit Lines Oct 7th, 2011 News (The Wall Street Journal) — The International Monetary Fund is crafting a proposal to offer new short-term credit lines to governments to prevent the spread of global financial crises, senior IMF and finance officials say.The program has the tentative backing of key world financial leaders who are expected to approve the new lending tool at the coming meetings of the Group of 20 industrialized and developing economies, according to three senior officials from G-20 countries.

U.S. Bank Exposure to Europe Could Be $640 Billion, Per Congressional Paper Oct 7th, 2011 News (The Wall Street Journal) — U.S. bank exposure to the European debt crisis is estimated at $640 billion, nearly 5% of total U.S. banking assets, according to recent research papers written for Congress.While U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says the U.S. banking sector’s vulnerability to the euro zone problems is “very limited,” the Congressional Research Service estimate is one of the first public assessments provided by the U.S. government that quantifies the potential risks.According to two different reports provided to federal lawmakers last month, the debt problems of Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Italy, and Spain constitute a ”serious risk” to the European banking system, particularly German, French, and U.K. banks, which have close ties to U.S. banks. Markets believe there’s a very high likelihood Greece will default in the coming weeks. That could cause a cascade of other crises throughout Europe…The estimate doesn’t include U.S. bank exposure to European bank portfolios that include assets in the weak member countries. Also, it doesn’t account for euro-zone assets held by money market, pension, and insurance funds.[source]PG View: Geither’s sense of reality seems to have been distorted by all the absolutely huge numbers bandied about in recent years. Does he really view $640 bln is “very limited?” The Congressional Research Service goes on to say that, “depending on the exposure of non-bank financial institutions and exposure through secondary channels, U.S. exposure to Greece and other euro-zone countries could be considerably higher.” What exactly does “considerably higher” mean? Is it twice the $640 bln? More?

Euro Plunges On Fitch Double Tap, Comments From Merkel Fail Fitch Portugal

Average Duration Of Unemployment Rises To New All Time High Unemployment

 

As noted previously, one key fly in the ointment in an otherwise better than expected jobs report (in which the participation rate also trended higher for a welcome change) was the manufacturing jobs data, which declined by 13,000. Perhaps at the end of the day this is the most important data point, since while declining government jobs at the end of the day is a good thing, government workers don't actually create anything of value for the economy. And as the chart below demonstrates, the long term trend is certainly not our friend. The second "fly", and the one that will certainly be used as a talking point by politicians, was the average unemployment duration. At 40.5 weeks, it just hit a new all time record.

6 Reasons a Global Recession is Unavoidable  Ron DeLegge, October 5, 2011, ‘Most economists and Wall Street types are reluctant to publicly admit the global economy is in a recession. Their reams of conflicting data are sending mixed messages. But an honest look at key events and the behavior of financial markets solidifies the view that the global recession we're probably already in, is unavoidable. Let's analyze some of the reasons behind this.

1) The Fed is out of tricks. When it comes to manipulating financial markets in the name of economic security, nobody matches the Federal Reserve's prowess. Over the past few years, the Fed has engaged in financial gimmickry of such epic proportions that angry calls for ending its existence have been voiced from sea to shining sea. The Fed's Treasury purchases (POMO) and monetization of debt (quantitative easing), may have delayed the reckoning day, but have these programs really solved America's long-term problems? The Fed's latest shift from short-term to long-term debt (Operation Twist) is tantamount to taking money from your right hand pocket and putting it into your shirt pocket. The Fed is running out of time and out of tricks. Ben Bernanke has finally admitted what the general public has known all along; the job situation is a 'national crisis.'

2) Stock market says we're already in a recession.The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) and its leading economists still deny the U.S. economy is in a recession. Apparently, their slide rulers haven't yet confirmed it, so they need a few more quarters before issuing a press release. Meanwhile, the stock market, which is a leading indicator of economic activity, is screaming 'recession.' Large company stocks within the S&P 500 (NYSEArca: SPY - News) have fallen almost 18% since July. Bulls argue this is still shy of the 20% threshold that confirms a bear market, but even so, mid cap stocks (NYSEArca: MDY - News) and small caps (NYSEArca: IWM - News) have already entered bear territory. Today's stock prices reflect expectations about future earnings, which in turn are connected to the future state of the economy. Expectations are rightfully low.

3) Greece has set the tone for Europe (and maybe the rest of the world).How many financial targets will Greece continue to miss before forecasters stop regurgitating its false numbers? When will Greece stop embarrassing itself with financial projections it knows aren't true? Greece's 2011 deficit was projected to be 8.5% of its GDP but came in almost 1.69 billion above its original targets. Next year, Greece is aiming for a deficit that's 6.8% of GDP. With the country engulfed in civil protests, job strikes and general chaos - how realistic are its 2012 projections? Financial bets for Greece to succeed are a long-shot. The country's economic projections are no longer based upon realistic assumptions, but hopes for garnering more bailout money and calming hostile markets. Ultimately, Greece is merely a reflection of the entire EU region - a place where financial aspirations don't match reality.

4) Bear funds are leading performers.The two-year period from March 2009 to March 2011 was a difficult existence for bear market funds. After bottoming at decade lows, the stock market skyrocketed and bear funds got clobbered.  But not anymore. Bear funds are investments that, by design, increase in value when the underlying benchmarks they track decline. Now with the stock market swooning, bear funds are posting huge gains. Over the past three months, Direxion's 3x daily leveraged bear ETFs for large cap stocks (NYSEArca: BGZ - News) is ahead by 42.97%, mid cap stocks (NYSEArca: MWN - News) is up 58.30% and small caps (NYSEArca: TZA - News) is up by 49.76%. Reversing this ominous trend, especially when key technical levels have been pierced, won't be easy.

5) Major asset classes are in correlation.During a bear market, the correlation between asset classes typically jumps and this is exactly the case right now. Over the past few months, commodities (NYSEArca: GCC - News), global real estate stocks (NYSEArca: RWO - News), precious metals (NYSEArca: GLTR - News), international stocks (NYSEArca: EFA - News), and U.S. stocks (NYSEArca: SCHB - News) have all moved in the same general direction by recording sizable losses. Even gold (NYSEArca: IAU - News) and silver (NYSEArca: SLV - News), which previously escaped the wrath of losses, have joined the party. And only cash and bonds (NYSEArca: AGG - News) are bucking the correlation trend. 

6) Pace of sovereign downgrades is accelerating.We don't advocate putting implicit faith in credit ratings, because history has taught us they are nothing more than financial opinions and frequently, not very accurate ones. Still, a gander at the latest downgrading trend is troublesome. Intuitive observers will note, this is not an isolated phenomenon, but a global trend. Sovereign debt from Greece and Portugal, after several downgrades, is now rated junk. Ireland has been downgraded and Italy was just downgraded by Moody's to A2 with a negative outlook. Japan, along with U.S. debt was lowered in August and another wave of more downgrades is coming, so get used to it. 

Conclusion

Investing in an economically stifled climate requires patience, diligence, and forethought. Following the herd mentality guarantees nothing more than mediocrity and making kneejerk financial decisions is an excellent way to lose money. ETFguide's Profit Strategy ETF Newsletter continues to advocate a fiercely independent view of world events, financial markets, and the proper allocation of money. Ultimately, having an investment strategy that can perform during any kind of market is a good start.  

 

Consumer Spending Slumps In September, Index Showsat Forbes

 

U.S. stocks' massive "melt-up" fans investor fears Reuters October 5, 2011, By Edward Krudy NEW YORK (Reuters) - In less than one hour on Tuesday, the U.S. stock market surged by 4 percent -- for no apparent reason.The last hour of trading was the most volatile final hour in two months -- and it occurred at a speed that frightens many, from experienced hedge-fund managers to mom-and-pop investors.The late-day "melt-up" that pushed the S&P 500 index (^SPX - News) out of bear-market territory might be construed as good news. But it brings back echoes of the "flash crash" that saw markets dive by several hundred points in a matter of minutes, and it's a big reason many are staying away from the market."Everyone is scared in both ways -- the shorts are scared, the longs are scared, everyone is scared. The high-net-worth investor is very, very scared," said Stephen Solaka, managing partner at Belmont Capital Group in Los Angeles, which manages money for independent wealth advisers and family offices.Tuesday's move was the latest example of an erratic, high-octane stock market increasingly driven by levered exchange traded funds and complicated hedging and options strategies that unwind with dizzying speed.It's a far cry from when the U.S. stock market was viewed as a place for capital-raising by businesses seeking to expand and a place for investors looking to put their savings to work."It tends to result in some market participants feeling like the market is uninvestable. It's not good for mutual funds or hedge funds," said Michael Marrale, head of sales trading at RBC Capital Markets in New York.The ostensible reason for Tuesday's move was an article published late in the day on the Financial Times website quoting the EU's commissioner for economic affairs, Olli Rehn, saying a plan was being worked out to recapitalize the region's troubled banking sector.But Reuters reported similar comments earlier in the day, and Rehn's comments struck some people as covering old ground. Ken Polcari, a veteran of the NYSE floor at ICAP Equities, found the reasoning insufficient."There is no clarity -- 'no formal decision' -- just more speculation, more rumors, and more innuendo," he said of the FT article.

WHAT WENT DOWN

Traders, analysts and investors interviewed by Reuters cited a number of factors, many of them technical, and linked to big positions around the 1100 level on the S&P 500

BLAST-OFF AT 1,100

The S&P climbed steadily between 3 p.m. and 3:30 p.m., but once it broke through 1,100, the gains accelerated, as the average rose 1 percent in the span between 3:39 p.m. and 3:45 p.m.

For Joe Donohue, money manager at Dimension Trading in Red Bank, New Jersey, the speed of the reversal was a classic sign of automated algorithmic trading.

"I didn't know the move was for real until about 3:40 to 3:45, when my machine just lit up green like a Christmas tree," he said. "That's when you know there's algo buying dictating the market. It certainly wasn't individual buyers."

Donohue's response was to close out short positions and buy a triple-leveraged long exchange traded fund that magnifies the performance of the Russell 2000 (Chicago Options:^RUT - News) three times.

The Direxion Daily Small Cap Bull 3X Shares (Pacific:TNA - News), which had its busiest day of trading in history on Tuesday, rocketed nearly 20 percent into the close. That ETF, along with the Proshares Ultrashort S&P 500 ETF (Pacific:SDS - News), another leveraged ETF, are now often among the top 25 traded issues on U.S. exchanges.

"Program trading and algorithmic trading was the cause," said Donohue. "We're seeing moves in a half hour that used to take weeks. Obviously we were very oversold technically before, and essentially we had a 'melt-up' that was helped by the algo trading that just went off buying."…’

Titanic! ] The Wall Street Journal  Paul Vigna Recapitalizing European banks (the preferred euphemism for bailout, apparently) in order to stabilize them in the face of haircuts on sovereign debt (the preferred euphemism for losses, obviously) through a facility like the EFSF risks a spiral that will make the bailouts more difficult to fund.Capital Economics economist John Higgins writes today that the bank recapitalization plan that has the market so excited is unlikely to draw a line under the crisis.A recapitalization would allow banks to withstand a bigger haircut on Greek debt. The trouble is that once Greece gets a bigger haircut, other sovereign borrowers will want one, too. That could get expensive in a hurry.The EFSF bailout fund could fill help weaker countries carry some of that burden, but that will get increasingly problematic.The more the EFSFs funds are used to recapitalize banks, the less it will have to provide official financing, or to intervene in the debt markets, Mr. Higgins writes. And the more the EFSF is expected to deploy its firepower in whatever capacity, the more investors will believe it will have to be leveraged, with the result that its own cost of borrowing could keep on rising.

Prophets Of Doom: 12 Shocking Quotes From Insiders The Economic Collapse Oct 1, 2011 We are getting so close to a financial collapse in Europe that you can almost hear the debt bubbles popping.  All across the western world, governments and major banks are rapidly becoming insolvent.  So far, the powers that be are keeping all of the balls in the air by throwing around lots of bailout money.  But now the political will for more bailouts is drying up and the number of troubled entities seems to grow by the day.  Right now the western world is facing a debt crisis that is absolutely unprecedented in world history.  Europe has had a tremendously difficult time just trying to keep Greece afloat, and several much larger European countries are now on the verge of a major financial crisis.  In addition, there is a growing number of very large financial institutions all over the western world that are also rapidly approaching a day of reckoning.  The global financial system is a sea or red ink, and when we get to the point where there are hundreds of ships going under how is it going to be possible to bail all of them out?  The quotes that you are about to read show that quite a few top financial and political insiders know that things cannot hold together much longer and that a horrific economic crisis is coming.  We built the global financial system on a foundation of debt, leverage and risk and now this house of cards that we have created is about to come tumbling down.

A lot of people in politics and in the financial world know what is about to happen.  Once in a while they will even be quite candid about it with the media.

As I have written about previously, Europe is on the verge of a financial collapse.  If things go really badly, things could totally fall apart in a few weeks.  But more likely it will be a few more months until the juggling act ends.

Right now, the banking system in Europe is coming apart at the seams.  Because the global financial system is so interconnected today, when major European banks start to fail it is going to have a cascading effect across the United States and Asia as well.

The financial crisis of 2008 plunged us into the deepest recession since the Great Depression.

The next financial crisis could potentially hit the world even harder.

The following are 12 shocking quotes from insiders that are warning about the horrific economic crisis that is almost here.

#1 George Soros: Financial markets are driving the world towards another Great Depression with incalculable political consequences. The authorities, particularly in Europe, have lost control of the situation.

#2 PIMCO CEO Mohammed El-Erian: These are all signs of an institutional run on French banks. If it persists, the banks would have no choice but to delever their balance sheets in a very drastic and disorderly fashion. Retail depositors would get edgy and be tempted to follow trading and institutional clients through the exit doors. Europe would thus be thrown into a full-blown banking crisis that aggravates the sovereign debt trap, renders certain another economic recession, and significantly worsens the outlook for the global economy.

#3 Attila Szalay-Berzeviczy, global head of securities services at UniCredit SpA (Italys largest bank): The only remaining question is how many days the hopeless rearguard action of European governments and the European Central Bank can keep up Greeces spirits.

#4 Stefan Homburg, the head of Germanys Institute for Public Finance: The euro is nearing its ugly end. A collapse of monetary union now appears unavoidable.

#5 EU Parliament Member Nigel Farage: I think the worst in the financial system is yet to come, a possible cataclysm and if that happens the gold price could go (higher) to a number that we simply cannot, at this moment, even imagine.

#6 Carl Weinberg, the chief economist at High Frequency Economics: At this point, our base case is that Greece will default within weeks.

#7 Goldman Sachs strategist Alan Brazil: Solving a debt problem with more debt has not solved the underlying problem. In the US, Treasury debt growth financed the US consumer but has not had enough of an impact on job growth. Can the US continue to depreciate the worlds base currency?

#8 International Labour Organization director general Juan Somavia recently stated that total unemployment could increase by some 20m to a total of 40m in G20 countries by the end of 2012.

#9 Deutsche Bank CEO Josef Ackerman: It is an open secret that numerous European banks would not survive having to revalue sovereign debt held on the banking book at market levels.

#10 Alastair Newton, a strategist for Nomura Securities in London: We believe that we are just about to enter a critical period for the eurozone and that the threat of some sort of break-up between now and year-end is greater than it has been at any time since the start of the crisis

#11 Ann Barnhardt, head of Barnhardt Capital Management, Inc.: Its over. There is no coming back from this. The only thing that can happen is a total and complete collapse of EVERYTHING we now know, and humanity starts from scratch. And if you think that this collapse is going to play out without one hell of a big hot war, you are sadly, sadly mistaken.

#12 Lakshman Achuthan of ECRI: When I call a recessionthat means that process is starting to feed on itself, which means that you can yell and scream and you can write a big check, but its not going to stop.

*****

In my opinion, the epicenter of the next wave of the financial collapse is going to be in Europe.  But that does not mean that the United States is going to be okay.  The reality is that the United States never recovered from the last recession and there are already a lot of signs that we are getting ready to enter another major recession.  A major financial collapse in Europe would just accelerate our plunge into a new economic crisis.

If you want to read something that will really freak you out, you should check out what Dr. Philippa Malmgren is saying.  Dr. Philippa Malmgren is the President and founder of Principalis Asset Management.  She is also a former member of the Bush economic team. You can find her bio right here.

Malmgren is claiming that Germany is seriously considering bringing back the Deutschmark.  In fact, she claims that Germany is very busy printing new currency up.  In a list of things that we could see happen over the next few months, she included the following.

The Germans announce they are re-introducing the Deutschmark. They have already ordered the new currency and asked that the printers hurry up.

This is quite a claim for someone to be making.  You would think that someone that used to work in the White House would not make such a claim unless it was based on something solid.

If Germany did decide to leave the euro, you would see an implosion of the euro that would be truly historic.

 

But as I have written about previously, it should not surprise anyone that theend of the euro is being talked about because the euro simply does not work.

The only way that the euro would have had a chance of working is if all of the governments using the euro would have kept debt levels very low.

Unfortunately, the financial systems of the western world are designed to push governments into high levels of debt.

The truth is that the euro was doomed from the very beginning.

Now we are approaching a day of reckoning.  We have been living in the greatest debt bubble in the history of the world, but the bubble is ending.  There are several ways that the powers that be could handle this, but all of them will lead to greater financial instability.

In the end, we will see that the debt-fueled prosperity that the western world has been enjoying for decades was just an illusion.

Debt is a very cruel master.  It will almost always bring more pain and suffering than you anticipated.

It is easy to get into debt, but it can be very difficult to get out of debt.

There is no way that the western world can unwind this debt spiral easily.

The only way that another massive economic crisis can be put off for even a little while would be for the powers that be to kick the can down the road a little farther by creating even more debt.

But in the end, you can never solve a debt problem with more debt.

The next several years are going to be an incredibly clear illustration of why debt is bad.

When the dominoes start to fall, we are going to witness a financial avalanche which is going to destroy the finances of millions of people.

You might want to try to get out of the way while you still can.

 

IMF: World economy enters 'dangerous new phase'  Christopher S. Rugaber, AP Economics Writer, On Tuesday September 20, 2011, WASHINGTON (AP) The world economy has entered a "dangerous new phase," according to the chief economist of the International Monetary Fund. As a result, the international lending organization has sharply downgraded its economic outlook for the United States and Europe through the end of next year.

The IMF expects the U.S. economy to grow just 1.5 percent this year and 1.8 percent in 2012. That's down from its June forecast of 2.5 percent in 2011 and 2.7 percent next year.

To achieve even that still-low level of growth, the U.S. economy would need to expand at a much faster rate in the second half of the year than its 0.7 percent annual pace in the first six months.

Most economists expect growth of between 1.5 percent and 2 percent in the final two quarters. Though an improvement, it wouldn't be enough to lower the unemployment rate. The rate has been 9 percent or higher in all but two months since the recession officially ended more than two years ago.

"The global economy has entered a dangerous new phase," said Olivier Blanchard, the IMF's chief economist. "The recovery has weakened considerably. Strong policies are needed to improve the outlook and reduce the risks."

The IMF has also lowered its outlook for the 17 countries that use the euro. It predicts 1.6 percent growth this year and 1.1 percent next year, down from its June projections of 2 percent and 1.7 percent, respectively.

The gloomier forecast for Europe is based on worries that euro nations won't be able to contain their debt crisis and keep it from destabilizing the region.

"Markets have clearly become more skeptical about the ability of many countries to stabilize their public debt," Blanchard said. "Fear of the unknown is high."

Overall, the IMF predicts global growth of 4 percent for both years. Stronger growth in China, India, Brazil and other developing countries should offset weaker output in the United States and Europe.

Financial turmoil and slow growth are feeding on each other in both the United States and Europe, IMF officials say. Europe's debt crisis is causing banks to reduce lending and hold onto cash. Sharp stock market drops in the United States over the summer have hurt consumer and business confidence and will likely reduce spending. That slows growth, which leads many investors to shift money out of stocks and into safer investments, such as Treasury bonds.

In Europe, slower growth will make it harder for stressed nations to get their debt under control.

U.S. and European policymakers must act more decisively to cut budget deficits, the IMF said.

European banks need to boost their capital buffers more quickly and beyond new minimum levels set to come into force in 2019, the IMF said.

European banks have seen their stocks slide sharply this summer on fears that their exposure to the government debt of shaky countries like Greece could result in big losses.

Having extra capital would bolster confidence in the banking sector and shield Europe's economy from the impact of jitters in financial markets.

The U.S. economy faces longer-lasting problems that go beyond high gas prices and disruptions caused by the Japan crisis, the IMF said.

Employers are adding few jobs and giving out meager pay raises. Many homeowners owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth. Banks are keeping credit tight.

All those trends are holding back consumer spending. Unemployment is likely to average 9 percent next year, the IMF's report said, echoing a recent estimate by the Obama administration.

President Barack Obama's proposal to cut taxes and spend more on infrastructure should provide much-needed short-term stimulus, the IMF said. But it needs to be paired with a longer-term plan to reduce the deficit over, the report said. The timing of the budget cuts is key, Blanchard said.

Budget cuts "cannot be too fast or it will kill growth," Blanchard said in a statement. "It cannot be too slow or it will kill credibility."

President Obama on Monday proposed more than $3 trillion of tax increases and spending cuts over 10 years. His proposal will be considered by a congressional panel charged with finding $1.5 trillion in deficit reduction this year.

Both Obama's jobs proposal and the tax increases face stiff opposition from Republicans. They oppose any tax increases and have strongly criticized the president's plans.

The 187-member nation fund conducts economic analysis and lends money to countries in financial distress. It will hold its annual meetings with the World Bank later this week in Washington.

A Fed IOER Cut Could Backfire on Banks, Warns Pimco at The Wall Street Journal

 

Low Interest Rates: Perma-Expectations No More at Minyanville Howard Simons Sep 20, 2011 ‘Regarding interest rates, one major difference between the US and Japan is that their perma-expectations started to disappear in a rising short-term rate environment; US rates have yet to rise. All of the recent news surrounding Steve Jobs’ departure from Apple prompted me to remark, “He has a strange opportunity to read his own obituary.” For the most part, he would have to be pleased at all of the genuine praise heaped on him.

This prompted me to wonder about what I would want on my tombstone other than, “He should’ve known better.” One candidate could be, “He used the word ‘swaption’ on a popular website and got away with it.” I did; most recently in a discussion of the Federal Reserve’s credibility to keep on doing the incredible, keeping
interest rates near zero through 2013 (see Is FOMC's Pledge to Keep Short-Term Interest Rates Low Until 2013 Believable?).

Forward Rates When the Future Is Now

Can the swaption conclusion be confirmed by another indicator? Yes; let’s return to a thread last updated in December 2010 (see
Is This the End of the Money-Printing Era?) on the relationship between the forward rates between six and nine months and the actual three-month rate as it arrives six months later. If the gap between expectation and reality is high, it means the market has been fooled again in its expectations that low short-term interest rates must be headed in one direction, higher. The opposite has been observed in practice, too; markets can incorrectly price in expectations for low short-term rates and get whacked upside the head by reality.

Where are we today? The expectations gap, marked with roseate columns, is shrinking, although it is still at levels unprecedented until the adoption of zero
interest rate policies (ZIRP) in December 2008. This is the same thing as saying forward rates are in the process of declining to levels that will be matched by actual three-month rates six months from now. If you are keeping track of these months by counting on your fingers, we see you.

The chart above uses weekly
data. Let’s go down to daily data for the period following the end of QE1. Two dates are marked, one when the debt ceiling debate in July was taking the ominous course toward default and one just after the August FOMC meeting. Both developments put the market on course toward accepting that low rates were going to be here for awhile; the intractable federal debt can be serviced only at low levels without doing something really, really stupid like cutting out-of-control spending.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/JimE/Simongraph2.jpg

Where To Now?

Japan has had a much longer experience with these low rates and one attempt, between November 2005 and July 2006, to start moving away from them. One major difference between the U.S. and Japan here is that their perma-expectations started to disappear in a rising short-term rate environment; our rates have yet to rise. Still, the Japanese attempt failed as the hint of higher interest rates caused yen carry
trades to start unwinding around the world. Once low interest rates become embedded in an economy, they are very hard to increase without stress.

Despite the failures of QE1 and QE2 and the impending failure of whatever they announce next, the Federal Reserve has convinced itself they are doing something right. How would “They never learned from their mistakes” look on their tombstone?’

 

 

Is This the End of the Money-Printing Era?  Howard Simons Dec 01, 2010 ‘If monetary stimulus ends and we start recognizing losses rather than trying to roll them forward, we can lay the foundation for a new era of prosperity. [Note the date and hence Simons’ wisdom! Yet, the postponement / delay has substantially impaired that ‘prosperity part’ going forward.]

  Of all the negative human emotions, the feeling you have been had is one of the worst. We all have heard the adage, Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me, and if I had a nickel for every time I have heard Wont Get Fooled Again, both former President Bush and I would have a lot of nickels.

Well, it is red-face time: Even though the Federal Reserve has been on a mission-from-wad since August 17, 2007, the date when they executed a premarket rate cut in the target federal funds rate, to 6.00%, and even though they had already executed QE1 and were three months away from hinting at QE2, they managed to drive short-term
interest rates unexpectedly low by the end of July. This is after I wrote, Short-Term Interest Rates No Longer Unexpectedly Low in May.

Let
s update that piece in light of what I have to admit was, in technical terms, a pretty good stunt on their part. First, a review: If we take the forward rate of LIBOR between six and nine months (FR6,9); that is, the rate at which we can lock in borrowing for three months starting six months from now, we have the markets hedgeable measure of where rates will be. I cannot emphasize strongly enough that this is not an interest rate forecast, but a rate at which two parties can do business and presumably both make a profit given this locked-in rate. This can be compared to what the actual three-month rate was six months later.

That
expectations gap is depicted in the roseate columns below. The December 2008 and March 2009 dates when the US first went to zero interest rates and quantitative easing, respectively, are marked with orange and violet vertical lines; both the July 30 and the last datum are highlighted with bright-red columns.

The chart above is done at a weekly frequency and is long-term to demonstrate how unusual the last two years have been in the ability of three-month rates to
trade well below the markets expectations from six months ago. Lets shorten the time frame and move to a daily frequency.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_May2009/Image/LisaCatch%20September2010/plainsight2.jpg

Two points are marked in black on this chart, one in mid-July when I identified the
markets demand for lower short-term interest rates and the August 27, 2010 date of Ben Bernankes Jackson Hole speech promising new asset highs if he could drive money to new lows.

The market took the bait, as we all know, and rallied strongly into the actual announcement of QE2 whereupon a large number of FOMC officials and foreign poo-bahs started wandering around like the somnambulant Lady Macbeth or Alec Guinness
Colonel Nicholson in The Bridge on the River Kwai wondering, What have I done?

You counterfeited the US dollar to a fare-thee-well, that
s what you have done. Didnt you think about this beforehand?

We have seen twice in the past two years how mainlining some high-grade monetary heroin can lead to higher returns for risky assets; this should be about as surprising as learning nitroglycerin can be noisy when handled improperly. Now that we are into QE2 and our friends in the European Monetary Union are about to reprise their May stunt of backstopping Greece by backstopping Ireland -- it will take them a long time to form a circle, sing
kumbaya in their various languages and have each of the 16 members of the euro rescued in turn -- we have to wonder if we are at last at the end of the line for monetary stimulus. Methinks we are.

The implications are not as dire as they may sound. If the end of the printing-press era means we do what we should have started doing in 2007 -- recognizing losses rather than trying to roll them forward -- we can lay the foundation for a new era of prosperity. It would be the right thing to do.

 

 

 

IMF Cuts Global Growth Outlook, Warns About U.S. Deficits, Euro Banks at Forbes  The International Monetary Fund dialed back its outlook for the global economy Tuesday, and now projects worldwide growth of 4% in 2011 and 2012, down from 5% in 2010.

Some slowdown was anticipated, but the IMF expected it to come from an unwind of the unprecedented stimulus efforts launched to counteract the financial crisis over the last three years.  Instead, a barrage of economic shocks in 2011 combined with other factors for a worse than anticipated outcome.

Chief economist Olivier Blanchard warned that strong policies are urgently needed to improve the outlook and to reduce the risks, and the IMF said the economy is in a dangerous new phase marked by weaker activity and a sharp decline in confidence.

 

Gallery: The IMFs 2012 Growth Forecast

Tuesdays report comes as the Federal Reserve begins a two-day meeting at which Chairman Ben Bernanke is likely to meet resistance if he pushes for further intervention along the lines of additional Treasury purchases, following an August meeting that saw three dissents from the central banks decision to target a 0% benchmark interest rate until mid-2013.

Meanwhile, European leaders are still trying to find a solution that will keep Greece from defaulting and keeping the debt crisis outside of core Europe. (See Europe Needs A TARP.)

One could be forgiven if it seems like pundits and policymakers are talking out of both sides of their mouth, urging further aid for scuffling economies while at the same time preaching that countries need to get religion on long-term debts.

Gallery: The IMFs 2012 Growth Forecast

The IMF offered its view on the forceful actions that policymakers in developed economies should undertake:

In the euro area, banks must be made stronger, not only to avoid deleveraging and maintain growth, but also, and more importantly, to reduce risks of vicious feedback loops between low growth, weak sovereigns, and weak banks. This requires additional capital buffers, from either private or public sources.

The top priorities in the United States include devising a medium-term fiscal consolidation plan to put public debt on a sustainable path and to implement policies to sustain the recovery, including by easing the adjustment in the housing and labor markets. The new American Jobs Act would provide needed short-term support to the economy, but it must be flanked with a strong medium-term fiscal plan that raises revenues and contains the growth of entitlement spending.

In Japan, the government should pursue more ambitious measures to deal with the very high level of public debt while attending to the immediate need for reconstruction and development in the areas hit by the earthquake and tsunami.

The updated forecast anticipates U.S. growth of just 1.5% in 2011 and 1.8% in 2012, with euro area growth of 1.6% this year falling to 1.1% next year. Emerging and developing economies will also grow slower than previously anticipated, but remain the workhorses of global growth, the IMF anticipates. China is expected to grow at a better than 9% clip this year and next, while Brazil is expected to maintain annual growth better than 3.5%.

Gold shot higher on the IMF
s sober growth outlook, adding $24.50 to $1,803.40 an ounce. U.S. stocks righted themselves after a choppy start, buy fell from their best levels of the day in the final hour of trade with the Dow Jones industrial average up 57 points to 11,458 and the S&P 500 2 points higher at 1,206. The Nasdaq slipped into the red, down 16 points, to 2,597.

Financial stocks, a major drag on the market seemingly every time there is a negative headline out of Europe, sank as the broader market pulled back. Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley surrendered earlier gains, while Wells Fargo and American Express held onto gains better than 1.75%.

Americas debt woe is worse than Greeces Sep 21st, 2011 News (CNN) Our government is utterly broke. There are signs everywhere one looks. Social Security can no longer afford to send us our annual benefit statements. The House can no longer afford its congressional pages. The Pentagon can no longer afford the pension and health care benefits of retired service members. NASA is no longer planning a manned mission to Mars. Were broke for a reason. Weve spent six decades accumulating a huge official debt (U.S. Treasury bills and bonds) and vastly larger unofficial debts to pay for Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits to todays and tomorrows 100 million-plus retirees. The governments total indebtedness its fiscal gap now stands at $211 trillion, by my arithmetic. [source]

Holders of Sovereign Debt Sep 21st, 2011 News by Global Macro Monitor (CreditWritedowns.com) — Here’s a great chart just released by the International Monetary Fund. Note that almost half — 47 percent – of the US$14.7 trillion U.S. federal government debt is held by the Federal Reserve and the government itself, such as the Social Security trust fund. Add to that the 22 percent foreign official holdings (mainly central banks) and almost 70 percent of the debt of the U.S. government is held by non-market/non-profit oriented investors. Stunning! [source]
http://www.albertpeia.com/holders-of-sovereign-debt.jpg
PG View: I would argue that “non-market/non-profit oriented investors” own the vast majority of government debt, because the risk/reward ratios have been so grossly distorted by government and central bank interventions that real investors have no interest is such assets. And it sure looks like official efforts to continue mispricing risk are going to continue.

US taxpayers could be on hook for Europe bailout Sep 16th, 2011 13:01 by News (MSNBC) The U.S. is coming to Europes financial rescue.So far, Americas role is fairly limited. But if the crisis continues to grow and the U.S. takes on a wider role, U.S. consumers and taxpayers could feel a bigger impact. The biggest exposure could come from Americas status as the single largest source of money for the International Monetary Fund.The latest round of American financial assistance came Thursday with a promise by the Federal Reserve to swap as many dollars for euros as European bankers need. In the short run, those transactions wont have much impact because the central banks are simply swapping currencies of equal value. If the move helps avert a wider crisis, it could help spare the global economy from another recession.But over the long term, consumers could feel the impact of central bankers flooding the financial system with cash, according to John Ryding, chief economist at RDQ Economics.[source]

A Band-Aid for a cancer patient Sep 16th, 2011 12:48 by News (papermoneycollapse.com) This was another hectic week for financial markets, and nerves were calmed somewhat over the past 24 hours with another liquidity injection from the central banks this time the provision of dollars from the U.S. Fed channelled through a few other central banks, most importantly the ECB. This is certainly not a solution but again the doctoring of symptoms. Pumping ever more fiat money into the system to avoid or rather postpone a much needed recalibration will not solve the underlying malaise. Four years into the crisis the banks still need emergency funding. That is a damning indictment that financial structures are far from sustainable.A default of Greece now appears very likely. This is a positive development. Positive as it points toward shrinkage toward smaller debt, toward a smaller Greek state, toward an important lesson for banks: Dont think that lending to the state is without risk!The biggest risk to the euro is not a Greek default but the markets waking up to the bleak long-term outlook for the solvency of the core, Germany and France.Thus, we will get some liquidation (Greek debt) but also some re-liquefying (big banks). It will not be the end of the euro but not the end of the financial crisis either.[source]

PG View: I concur with this assessment. The contingency plan to protect the German banks is presumably in place. Liquidity lines have been established. Payment of the next bailout tranche for Greece has been forestalled until October. Seems like Greece is about to get pitched under the bus

The Fed’s Shadow TARP issued $1.2 trillion in loans to domestic and foreign banks from 2007 to 2010, far more than Congress authorized Treasury to spend under TARP.…Congress eventually approved a partial audit that showed the Fed extended an incredible $16 trillion – more than the entire U.S. economy – in aggregate lending authority to foreign and domestic banks from the end of 2007 to the middle of 2010…After the second round of quantitative easing was announced, Chinese Vice Finance Minister Zhu Guangyao said America “does not recognize, as a country that issues one of the world’s major reserve currencies, its obligation to stabilize capital markets.”German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble was more blunt, calling the Fed “clueless.” [source]’

25 Signs That The Financial World Is About To Hit The Big Red Panic Button The Economic Collapse | Most of the worst financial panics in history have happened in the fall.  Wednesday, August 31, 2011

Most of the worst financial panics in history have happened in the fall.  Just recall what happened in 1929, 1987 and 2008.  Well, September 2011 is about to begin and there are all kinds of signs that the financial world is about to hit the big red panic button.  Wave after wave of bad economic news has come out of the United States recently, and Europe is embroiled in an absolutely unprecedented debt crisis.  At this point there is a very real possibility that the euro may not even survive.  So what is causing all of this?  Well, over the last couple of decades a gigantic debt bubble has fueled a tremendous amount of fake prosperity in the western world.  But for a debt bubble to keep going, the total amount of debt has to keep expanding at an ever increasing pace.  Unfortunately for the global economy, sources of credit are starting to dry up.  That is why you hear terms like credit crisis and credit crunch thrown around so much these days.  Without enough credit to feed the monster, the debt bubble is going to burst.  At this point, virtually the entire global economy runs on credit, so when this debt bubble bursts things could get really, really messy.

Nations and financial institutions would never get into debt trouble if they could always borrow as much money as they wanted at extremely low interest rates.  But what has happened is that lending sources are balking at continuing to lend cheap money to nations and financial institutions that are already up to their eyeballs in debt.

For example, the yield on 2 year Greek bonds is now over 40 percent.  Investors dont trust the Greek government and they are demanding a huge return in order to lend them more money.

Throughout the financial world right now there is a lot of fear.  Lending conditions have gotten very tight.  Financial institutions are not eager to lend money to each other or to anyone else.  This credit crunch is going to slow down the economy.  Just remember what happened back in 2008.  When easy credit stops flowing, the dominoes can start falling very quickly.

 

Sadly, this is a cycle that can feed into itself.  When credit is tight, the economy slows down and more businesses fail.  That causes financial institutions to want to tighten up things even more in order to avoid the bad credit risks.  Less economic activity means less tax revenue for governments.  Less tax revenue means larger budget deficits and increased borrowing by governments.    But when government debt gets really high that can cause huge economic problems like we are witnessing in Greece right now.  The cycle of tighter credit and a slowing economy can go on and on and on.

I spend a lot of time talking about problems with the U.S. economy, but the truth is that the rest of the world is dealing with massive problems as well right now.  As bad as things are in the U.S., the reality is that Europe looks like it may be ground zero for the next great financial crisis.

At this point the EU essentially has three choices.  It can choose much deeper economic integration (which would mean a huge loss of sovereignty), it can choose to keep the status quo going for as long as possible by providing the PIIGS with gigantic bailouts, or it can choose to end of the euro and return to individual national currencies.

Any of those choices would be very messy.  At this point there is not much political will for much deeper economic integration, so the last two alternatives appear increasingly likely.

In any event, global financial markets are paralyzed by fear right now.  Nobody knows what is going to happen next, but many now fear that whatever does come next will not be good.

The following are 25 signs that the financial world is about to hit the big red panic button.

#1 According to a new study just released by Merrill Lynch, the U.S. economy has an 80% chance of going into another recession.

#2 Will Bank of America be the next Lehman Brothers?  Shares of Bank of America have fallen more than 40% over the past couple of months.  Even though Warren Buffet recently stepped in with 5 billion dollars, the reality is that the problems for Bank of America are far from over.  In fact, one analyst is projecting that Bank of America is going to need to raise 40 or 50 billion dollars in new capital.

#3 European bank stocks have gotten absolutely hammered in recent weeks.

#4 So far, major international banks have announced layoffs of more than 60,000 workers, and more layoff announcements are expected this fall.  A recent article in the New York Times detailed some of the carnage.

A new wave of layoffs is emblematic of this shift as nearly every major bank undertakes a cost-cutting initiative, some with names like Project Compass. UBS has announced 3,500 layoffs, 5 percent of its staff, and Citigroup is quietly cutting dozens of traders. Bank of America could cut as many as 10,000 jobs, or 3.5 percent of its work force. ABN Amro, Barclays, Bank of New York Mellon, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, Lloyds, State Street and Wells Fargo have in recent months all announced plans to cut jobs tens of thousands all told.

#5 Credit markets are really drying up.  Do you remember what happened in 2008 when that happened?  Many are now warning that we are getting very close to a repeat of that.

#6 The Conference Board has announced that the U.S. Consumer Confidence Index fell from 59.2 in July to 44.5 in August.  That is the lowest reading that we have seen since the last recession ended.

#7 The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index has fallen by almost 20 points over the last three months.  This index is now the lowest it has beenin 30 years.

#8 The Philadelphia Feds latest survey of regional manufacturing activity was absolutely nightmarish.

The surveys broadest measure of manufacturing conditions, the diffusion index of current activity, decreased from a slightly positive reading of 3.2 in July to -30.7 in August. The index is now at its lowest level since March 2009

#9 According to Bloomberg, since World War II almost every time that the year over year change in real GDP has fallen below 2% the U.S. economy has fallen into a recession.

Since 1948, every time the four-quarter change has fallen below 2 percent, the economy has entered a recession. Its hard to argue against an indicator with such a long history of accuracy.

#10 Economic sentiment is falling in Europe as well.  The following is from a recent Reuters article.

A monthly European Commission survey showed economic sentiment in the 17 countries using the euro, a good indication of future economic activity, fell to 98.3 in August from a revised 103 in July with optimism declining in all sectors.

#11 The yield on 2 year Greek bonds is now an astronomical 42.47%.

#12 As I wrote about recently, the European Central Bank has stepped into the marketplace and is buying up huge amounts of sovereign debt from troubled nations such as Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy.  As a result, the ECB is alsomassively overleveraged at this point.

#13 Most of the major banks in Europe are also leveraged to the hilt and have tremendous exposure to European sovereign debt.

#14 Political wrangling in Europe is threatening to unravel the Greek bailout package.  In a recent article, Satyajit Das described what has been going on behind the scenes in the EU.

The sticking point is a demand for collateral for the second bailout package. Finland demanded and got Euro 500 million in cash as security against their Euro 1,400 million share of the second bailout package. Hearing of the ill-advised side deal between Greece and Finland, Austria, the Netherlands and Slovakia also are now demanding collateral, arguing that their banks were less exposed to Greece than their counterparts in Germany and France entitling them to special treatment. At least, one German parliamentarian has also asked the logical question, why Germany is not receiving similar collateral.

#15 German Chancellor Angela Merkel is trying to hold the Greek bailout deal together, but a wave of anti-bailout hysteria is sweeping Germany, and nowaccording to Ambrose Evans-Pritchard it looks like Merkel may not have enough votes to approve the latest bailout package.

German media reported that the latest tally of votes in the Bundestag shows that 23 members from Mrs Merkels own coalition plan to vote against the package, including twelve of the 44 members of Bavarias Social Christians (CSU). This may force the Chancellor to rely on opposition votes, risking a government collapse.

#16 Polish finance minister Jacek Rostowski is warning that the status quo in Europe will lead to collapse.  According to Rostowski, if the EU does not choose the path of much deeper economic integration the eurozone simply is not going to survive much longer.

The choice is: much deeper macroeconomic integration in the eurozone or its collapse. There is no third way.

#17 German voters are against the introduction of Eurobonds by about a 5 to 1 margin, so deeper economic integration in Europe does not look real promising at this point.

#18 If something goes wrong with the Greek bailout, Greece is financially doomed.  Just consider the following excerpt from a recent article by Puru Saxena.

In Greece, government debt now represents almost 160% of GDP and the average yield on Greek debt is around 15%. Thus, if Greeces debt is rolled over without restructuring, its interest costs alone will amount to approximately 24% of GDP. In other words, if debt pardoning does not occur, nearly a quarter of Greeces economic output will be gobbled up by interest repayments!

#19 The global banking system has a total of 2 trillion dollars of exposure to Greek, Irish, Portuguese, Spanish and Italian debt.  Considering how much the global banking system is leveraged, this amount of exposure could end up wiping out a lot of major financial institutions.

#20 The head of the IMF, Christine Largarde, recently warned that European banks are in need of urgent recapitalization.

#21 Once the European crisis unravels, things could move very rapidly downhill.  In a recent article, John Mauldin put it this way.

It is only a matter of time until Europe has a true crisis, which will happen faster BANG! than any of us can now imagine. Think Lehman on steroids. The U.S. gave Europe our subprime woes. Europe gets to repay the favor with an even more severe banking crisis that, given that the U.S. is at best at stall speed, will tip us into a long and serious recession. Stay tuned.

#22 The U.S. housing market is still a complete and total mess.  According to a recently released report, U.S. home prices fell 5.9% in the second quarter compared to a year earlier.  That was the biggest decline that we have seen since 2009.  But even with lower prices very few people are buying.  According to the National Association of Realtors, sales of previously owned homesdropped 3.5 percent during July.  That was the third decline in the last four months.  Sales of previously owned homes are even lagging behind last years pathetic pace.

#23 According to John Lohman, the decline in U.S. economic data over the past three months has been absolutely unprecedented.

#24 Morgan Stanley now says that the U.S. and Europe are hovering dangerously close to a recession and that there is a good chance we could enter one at some point in the next 6 to 12 months.

#25 Minneapolis Fed President Narayana Kocherlakota says that he is so alarmed about the state of the economy that he may drop his opposition to more monetary easing.  Could more quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve soon be on the way? …’

 

 

 

If We Punished Executives the Way China Does, We Wouldn't Have Any Left Minyanville Justin Rohrlich [ I think we should consider this approach, starting with the frauds on wall street, which of course in the sense of all roads lead to, will unearth other criminals deserving of such treatment since their corruption has had life/death effects on the general populace through no fault of their own!] Here in the United States, we've certainly gotten far more than we ever bargained for when it comes to corruption in the collective C-suite.

A few have been punished. Many have not. In China, though, they kill their Dennis Kozlowskis.

Yesterday, Li Hua, former chairman and general manager of the Sichuan division of China Mobile (
CHL), was sentenced to death for accepting more than $2.5 million in bribes.

The Intermediate People
s Court in the southwestern city of Panzhihua handed down the verdict with a two-year reprieve, meaning if Li behaves himself, he could skate with a mere slap on the wrist -- life in prison.

The
New York Times points out that the "same type of sentence was handed down last month for one of the companys other former executives, Zhang Chunjiang, who once served as vice chairman of China Mobile, which also included the confiscation of his personal assets and the removal of his political rights.

He was convicted of accepting more than $1.15 million in bribes while working at a series of state-run telecom companies from 1994 to 2009. At least six other executives from China Mobile
are under investigation in corruption cases. (It may be worth noting that last week, China Mobile revealed that it met several times with Steve Jobs to talk about Apple (AAPL) making an iPhone that would support its proprietary 3G standard." Currently, China Unicom (CHU) is the only carrier in China offering the device. )

When Chen Tonghai, former chairman of Sinopec (
SNP), was sentenced to death for bribery in 2009, he was also granted a two-year reprieve after confessing to his crimes. According to state-run news service Xinhua, the court cut Chen a break of sorts, stating that for "crimes involving 'extremely large sums of money,' the suspects should be sentenced to death, but 'if they confess or contribute to the handling of relevant cases, they should not get an immediate death penalty in principle.'"

"Chen Tonghai's sentence is a result of people's court's criminal policies and reflects both severe punishment of corruption and the policy of tempering justice with mercy," Xinhua said.

But, Chinese justice lacks a particularly even hand. State-run news service
Xinhua explains why certain executions are performed more hastily than others:

Corrupt officials, such as former vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress Cheng Kejie who was executed in September 2000, former vice governor of Anhui Province Wang Huaizhong who was given a lethal injection in February 2004, and former food and drug administration head Zheng Xiaoyu, executed in July 2007, got immediate death sentences because they "refused to plead guilty" and their bribe-taking "caused extremely serious social impact.”


This spring, China revised the law, when authorities deemed 13 non-violent economic offenses to no longer be executable crimes, though Amnesty International
called it "legal housekeeping," as the infractions were all seldom if ever punished by execution to begin with.

Andrew Yang of the
Laogai Research Foundation -- established in 1992 by Harry Wu, a democracy activist and survivor of the laogai, Chinas system of forced-labor prison camps -- provided us with a translation of the official list (which just so happens not to include bribery):

Smuggling of antiques or cultural relics

Smuggling of precious metals

Smuggling of rare animals or products

Smuggling of ordinary goods or objects

Fraudulent activities with financial bills

Fraudulent activities involving letters of credit

Forged value-added tax invoices

False issuance of value-added tax invoices

The teaching of criminal methods

Theft of ancient human remains or fossils of vertebrates

And finally, simple theft.

However, the Chinese leadership doesn
t rely solely on the legal system to control the business community at large.

From Russell Lee Moses, writing for the
Wall Street Journals China Real Time Report:

After weeks of taking jabs to the chin from an angry microblogging public, leading forces in the [Chinese Communist] Party have decided to punch back. Politburo member Liu Qi visited the Beijing offices of Sina.com’s (SINA) popular microblogging service Weibo earlier this week and impressed upon the staff there the need for “the Internet’s healthy development”—code words for staying away from topics which attack the rule of the Communist Party or hold officials up for public ridicule.

[…]

Liu’s strong-arm visit follows a series of admonitions in the Party media, warning journalists to get back into the government fold and to play the role of conveying to a skeptical society that cadres care.
The hardline view, expressed in a recent article posted in the “People’s Forum” run by the official People’s Daily, is that microblogging is best confronted, not by embracing it as a way for the public to supervise the Party, but by the Party’s “use [of] the mass media to tell the truth.”


By all accounts, corruption is so thoroughly ingrained in the operating culture of Chinese officialdom, the roles in this situation seem to be comically reversed.

“There is really no way to control the corruption among Chinese officials,” Yang told me in a telephone interview. “If bribery was not punishable by death, corrupt officials would be even bolder in grabbing the public’s wealth. And without a free press, the behavior of officials cannot be monitored, so corruption simply runs wild.”

James H. Zimmerman, Jr., Amnesty International's Country Specialist for China, says the execution of government officials for bribery “is fairly common.”

In an email message, Zimmerman pointed out that “most have been politically isolated, so they have no one coming to their defense.”

The majority of China’s citizenry certainly isn’t.

As explained by
Teng Biao of China’s Economic Observer (and translated by Worldcrunch.com), “China is the global leader for the number of corrupt officials who are sentenced to death, and actually executed each year. But, judging by the seemingly endless ‘public demand’ for this kind of punishment and the surging popular anger, it would seem that there is actually not enough of it.”

And Joshua Rosenzweig, former senior researcher at the Di Hua Foundation, a human rights organization based in San Francisco and
Hong Kong, told the Washington Post that “there still is a very strong sense that corrupt officials must die among the Chinese population at large. The revulsion for that offense is so strong that there would be a potential political cost to eliminating the death penalty for corruption."

Not altogether surprisingly, the specter of death doesn’t necessarily act as a deterrent.

In 2009,
a six-year old schoolgirl in southern China was asked by a television reporter what she wanted to become when she grew up.

"When I grow up I want to be an official," she replied.

"What kind of official?" asked the interviewer.

"A corrupt official because corrupt officials have a lot of things," she said.’

MKM Bracing For SPY To Drop 8% More; Nasdaq Nearing August Lows at Barrons.com Murray Coleman ‘Stocks continue to slump today, reeling from a raft of ugly data and growing concerns about European sovereign debt. But how far lower can ETFs tracking key benchmarks slide? MKM Partners’ technical analyst Katie Stockton sees a range around $110 a share for the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) as the next level of support. That would represent about a 3-4% drop from current levels. SPY most recently was trading down 4.6% at $114.09 a share. “I do expect that level ($110) to be re-tested in coming weeks,” Stockton said in an interview, noting that level had been tested early last week and held. The problem is that her indicators show that blue chip U.S. stocks still could have a ways to go. “The market doesn’t appear oversold at this point, so the market looks like it could go lower,” Stockton said. Perhaps the most important level for SPY is the February 2010 low of $105 a share, roughly 8% below current levels. “That level hasn’t been broken on a decisive basis yet,” Stockton noted. “That’s the number we’re really keeping a close eye on after what’s taken place today.” Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq’s near-term backdrop looks just as volatile, notes Michael Ashbaugh in his Technical Trader investment letter. With Thursday’s downturn, the benchmark has knifed straight through initial support at 2,493 placing it back within August-crash territory. In the near-term, the veteran technician expects to see modest support at around 2,357 — its August closing low. That’s around 0.6% from where the index’s trading at now.’

How Low Will Stocks Go? at Minyanville  By MoneyShow.com Aug 12, 2011  Up 500 points one day, down 500 the next. That’s the way the market is these days.

On Wednesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 520 points, erasing all of Tuesday’s gains from the Federal Reserve’s decision to keep short-term interest rates near zero. As of noon Thursday, it’s up about 250.

By Wednesday’s close, the Dow had lost 2,000 points, or more than 15% of its value, since July 21. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite indexes lost slightly more during that time. All three are perilously close to the 20% decline from the late April-early May top that many pundits (particularly in the media) use as a rule of thumb to determine a bear market.

Unfortunately, I think stocks have still lower to go. How low? Later in this column I’ll tell you what some respected technical analysts think.

But let’s start with the fundamentals.

First, the economy. Need I say more? Jobless figures were somewhat better in June, but economists have revised downward their estimates of GDP growth. Measures of consumer confidence are pretty weak.

And did anybody get the real message the Federal Open Market Committee put out Tuesday? The economy is so sick, the Fed is willing to guarantee exceptionally low rates for two years! I’ve never seen the Fed telegraph its moves so far in advance, and the FOMC’s statement said over and over again how lousy the economy is.

Meanwhile, the open rebellion by three voting FOMC members makes it highly unlikely we’re going to see another round of quantitative easing anywhere near as big as the last two.

Third, there’s the debt crisis. Everyone agrees the European Union just doesn’t have the money to bail out Italy and Spain, its third and fourth largest economies, if it comes to that. Rumors are swirling about the health of French banks and the safety of France’s AAA rating.

And the debt-ceiling standoff here, which culminated in S&P downgrading the US’s AAA credit rating, means more government action to “fix” the economy is likely off the table.

So there’s no way President Obama will get much additional stimulus. He’s desperately trying to extend unemployment benefits and the payroll tax holiday for another year, but that looks pretty iffy at best. (You can read more from me about the "
end of the welfare state" on The Independent Agenda.)

Finally, there are earnings, which have been great. But we’re getting much later in the cycle, and their momentum appears to be slowing. It’s hard for me to see how earnings growth alone is going to power the market much higher when everything else appears to be going in the opposite direction.

And while valuations are looking attractive by some measures, they don’t exist in a vacuum, either.

So, where does that leave us? Four prominent technical analysts I contacted all agreed: Stocks are heading lower, likely into a new bear market.

David Sneddon, head of technical analysis research at Credit Suisse in London, said the 1,370.58 intraday high in the S&P we saw on May 2 was the likely top. There’s critical technical support around 1,100, which is just about from where the market bounced back this week. So far, we seem to be holding that.

The next level of technical support below that is at 1,020-1,022. “You’d have to get below [1,000-1,010] to have a genuine bear market.”

Another London-based technician, Sandy Jadeja of City Index, who watches the Dow, thinks that’s where we’re going.

A few weeks ago, he predicted the Dow would drop to 10,428, which it did. Now, he told me by e-mail, “the rally that follows will be brief, and then lead to another leg down to 9,673 and further.”

“Lows are not to be expected until 2012,” he concluded. “Next month is critical. If we break the low of August in September, there is worse to come.”

 

Mark Arbeter, chief technical analyst of Standard & Poor’s, said back in May and June that the bull market was probably over, as I reported in this column. He hasn’t changed his position.

By e-mail, he said he “would look for some stabilization and a potential short-term rally now that the S&P 500 has fallen into a major zone of chart support…between 1,023 and 1,128.”

Ultimately he thinks the S&P could fall to 1,020, or maybe as low as 935. That would be 15% below Wednesday’s close, and would definitely mark a new bear market.

Michael Kahn, who writes the Getting Technical column for Barrons.com and the QuickTakes Pro blog, has long argued we’re in a secular (long-term) bear market, and he thinks the cyclical bull is over, too. Like Arbeter, he sees 1,010 to 1,050 as the next level of support for the S&P, and below that 930.

“I think it stops at 930 to make the 2000s-2010s follow the 1970s very closely,” he wrote me by e-mail. That’s one decade for which investors have little nostalgia.

The technicians are unanimous that stocks are going lower, though some are looking for a strong rally that goes against the bearish trend. Arbeter doesn’t expect that rally to go much beyond 1,250-1,260 before it sells off again. Sneddon doesn’t think it’ll bounce much higher than 1,200.

“We’ve clearly seen a lot of technical damage done in a lot of markets,” he told me. “I would be personally [inclined] rather to lighten up and reduce my positions” on rallies.

That would be my position, too, if I hadn’t already taken profits and sold what I wanted to a couple of months ago.

If you missed that chance, I wouldn’t sell in panic now, but would wait for stocks to mount a rebound to sell off positions in riskier small-cap stocks (which already may be in a bear market) and emerging markets, whose time in the sun has come and gone. That also may be a good time to
permanently reduce your exposure to equities.

But I certainly wouldn’t buy into a market like this with all its wicked swings and uncertainties. Even mighty Goldman Sachs (
GS) lost money on 15 trading days in the second quarter! And John Paulson, the hedge-fund genius who masterminded “the greatest trade ever” by shorting subprime mortgages, has lost 31% so far this year in his largest fund.

If people like that who have the best information and technology are losing money in this market, do you really think you’re going to beat them at their own game?

There will be a time to buy again, but it’s not now. This market is heading lower.’

Five Reasons for the Stock Market Crash and Zero Interest Rate 11 Aug 2011  Read more: Five Reasons for the Stock Market Crash and Zero Interest Rate    http://www.moneynews.com/StreetTalk/Stock-Market-Interest-Rate/2011/08/11/id/406976  ‘It’s said that the stock market climbs a “wall of worry.” Because the stock market is trying to predict the future success or failures of various companies, it sometimes gets things wrong. Horribly, terribly wrong.

With the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling like a rock, with wild swings not seen since the stock market crash of 2008, many investors are on the verge of panic. It’s easy to see why. The Federal Reserve is committed to keeping interest rates near zero until mid-2013 at the earliest. Those low interest rates penalize investors on a fixed income who don’t want the risk of the stock market.

Publisher’s Note: In an exclusive interview presentation, Aftershock 2012, Robert Wiedemer outlines a dire financial warning along with a comprehensive blueprint for economic survival. Over one million Americans have seen the evidence and learned how to weather the stock market, secure interest rates, and save their financial future. Watch the video now.

But investors who understand the reasons behind the latest decline in the stock market have little to fear. Below are five reasons why the stock market is crashing right now:

1) Current Debt Crisis in Europe and the United States

Between record high bond rates in Greece, Spain, Portugal and Ireland, the eurozone has its hands full in dealing with too much debt relative to the size of its various economies. As a result of the poor bond performance from these countries, Europe is on the cusp of plunging into a banking crisis. Such a crisis could send interest rates soaring for “prime” countries like France and Germany, not to mention throw the continent into a recession.

Across the Atlantic, the United States isn’t faring much better. The recent debt ceiling drama concluded at the 11th hour, with very little in the way of true cuts. Instead, the government has promised to cut future growth, which may or may not even occur. No wonder S&P downgraded U.S. debt!

Ultimately, it isn’t risky assets like stocks that cause economic problems. Markets sell off when seemingly safe assets are suddenly recognized as significantly riskier than they were once perceived.

2) United States Government Is at an Impasse

As part of the recent debt ceiling deal, Congress approved the creation of a bipartisan super-committee comprised of 12 members to fast-track legislation. The constitutionality of such a committee is dubious at best, but it’s just one way for Washington lawmakers to pass off responsibility and avoid tough decisions.

It doesn’t end there. The Federal Reserve has tried two rounds of “quantitative easing,” a scheme to buy up excess debt. The rationale was that it would get the U.S. economy back on track. Instead, this plan juiced the returns of the stock market, and sent gas prices and grocery costs soaring.

Meanwhile, Congressional Republicans are calling for the ouster of Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner as a consequence of the U.S. losing its S&P AAA credit rating.

In other words, it’s business as usual for the government: trying to fix a crisis that’s largely the result of its own poor oversight, while avoiding any responsibility for causing the problem in the first place.

3) U.S. Unemployment Is Running Over 15%!

As long as the U.S. economy isn’t creating enough new jobs, it will stagnate. Although the unemployment rate has declined from the double-digit rates it hit in 2009/2010, many astute individuals have noted that the latest unemployment report is inaccurate.

Using the measurement for unemployment used by the government up until the early 1980s, true unemployment is running over 15%!

Meanwhile, many thrown out of work have exhausted their unemployment benefits, which in some cases lasted as long as 99 weeks. Once off unemployment, they officially disappear from the official unemployed list, making the job market appear better than expected.

Adding millions of jobs would be the best economic stimulus possible. It would allow millions to loosen their belts and spend more, which would be a huge boon across the entire economy.

Publisher’s Note: Author and esteemed economist Bob Wiedemer accurately predicted these events more than four years ago. Over one million Americans have seen the evidence and learned how to weather the stock market, secure interest rates, and save their financial future. Watch the video now.

4) United States Has No Economic Growth

Historically, the Federal Reserve has cut interest rates to increase economic growth. That’s because lower interest rates make it easier for individuals to borrow money to buy cars, houses, start small businesses and the like. However, there’s been nearly no growth since the United States plunged into a recession in 2008. And the Federal Reserve can’t cut rates any lower.

There’s no doubt in the minds of many market participants that more Fed easing policies are on the way, especially after America’s first-quarter GDP was revised from 1.9% to 0.4%.

The stock market’s moves are highly dependent on economic growth. If an individual company can post huge growth numbers, its shares tend to go up, and its shares tend to decline when growth stalls. When a country’s GDP is stagnant, investors don’t know what to expect. Hence the recent stock market plunge, as economic data may suggest that another recession is upon us.

5) No Housing Recovery

The stock market crash of 2011 is starting to resemble the stock market crash of 2008 in one key way: Bank stocks are leading the decline. Since the start of August, banks deemed “too big to fail” like Citigroup and Bank of America have sold off twice as hard as the overall stock market.

It’s easy to see why. Banks are sitting on millions of properties listed on their balance sheets at pre-housing crash prices. If all these properties hit the market at once, prices would have to fall substantially. If the banks have to sell them at a loss, they’ll take a hit to their balance sheet at a time when they’re still trying to improve it.

A housing recovery can spur job growth for construction jobs, real estate agents, and businesses in new communities. But we currently have a housing glut that will take several years to work through.

Until then, without a housing recovery, it’ll be tough for the overall economy to recover. That means the stock market is in for a wild ride and low interest rates are here to stay.

While these five reasons aren’t a comprehensive list of the problems weighing down the stock market and keeping interest rates paltry, they should give most investors a reason to stay cautious over the next few months.

Based on the market’s action and recent economic data, it’s more likely than not we’re entering a double-dip recession. Stay heavy on safe investments and don’t give into the fear.

Stocks Overbought Already?at The Wall Street Journal

 

Are US Markets Facing the Abyss? [ Short answer: Worse! ] at Minyanville   Jeffrey Cooper Aug 15, 2011

As soon as the idea of the Deluge had subsided, a hare stopped in the clover and swaying flowerbells, and said a prayer to the rainbow, through the spiders web.

Oh, the precious stones that began to hide, and the flowers that already looked around.

In the dirty main street, stalls were set up and boats were hauled toward the sea, high tiered as in old prints.

Blood flowed at Blue Beard
s -- though slaughterhouses, in circuses, where the windows were blanched by Gods seal. Blood and milk flowed.

Beavers built.
Mazagrans smoked in the little bars.

In the big glass
house, still dripping, children in mourning looked at the marvelous pictures.

A door banged; and in the village square the little boy waved his arms, understood by weather vanes and cocks on steeples everywhere, in the bursting shower.

Madame installed a piano in the Alps. Mass and first communions were celebrated at the hundred thousand altars of the cathedral.

Caravans set out. And Hotel Splendid was built in the chaos of ice and the polar night.

Ever after the moon heard jackals howling across the deserts of thyme, and eclogues in wooden shoes growling in the orchard. Then in the violet and budding forest, Eucharis told me it was spring.

Gush, pond -- foam, roll on the bridge and over the woods -- black palls and organs, lightning and thunder, rise and roll -- waters and sorrows rise and launch the Floods again.

For since they have been dissipated -- oh, the precious stones being buried and the opened flowers -- it
s unbearable. And the Queen, the Witch who lights her fire in the earthen pot will never tell us what she knows, and what we do not know.

--Apres Le Deluge, Arthur Rimbaud

Let it roll, baby, roll.

Somebody hit her with a chair, you know. I guess theres no way to determine who did it. Its already coagulating. She was just an innocent bystander. Its a democracy.

That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that History has to teach.

Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad.
-Aldous Huxley

The market went mad last week. The truth of capitalism was in chaos, democracy in disarray, and paralyzed politics hit
home. The truth hurts.

And the Queen, the Witch who lights her fire in the earthen pot will never tell us what she knows, and what we do not know.

Seemingly in unison, market participants' heads hit their pillows Friday night with a thousand points of night running like shards of broken confidence through their minds.

The consumer confidence number hit the lowest level in a generation as the retail therapy of conspicuous consumption threatens to hit the wall.

Anesthetized with lies and sedated with stimulus, is the consumer shopped out and about to send a wake-up call to Mr. Economy?

At the end of World War II, no power existed which could compete with the US militarily or economically.

The US had saved the world from the scourge of dictatorship.

In return, the Bretton-Woods Agreement in the Summer of 1944 also gave us the monetary power to print the world
s currency. We promised it would always be convertible into gold at the rate of $35 per ounce. This proviso was between the worlds central banks and ours. It remained true until August 15, 1971 when President Nixon voided the agreement because French President de Gaulle was about to make a run on our gold, which he knew wasnt sufficient to back up all of the currency then floating around in the worlds central banks. De Gaulle was about to precipitate a kind of run on the bank.

Son of a gun.

Is this a harmonic of the rumors that Dominique Strauss-Kahn -- former head of the IMF who was about to run for the French presidency -- was set up in a hotel in New York because he was about to reveal something about the gold that is or is not in Fort Knox?

Ever since the Bretton Woods Agreement was broken 40 years ago today, the dollar has been wandering in a sort of
financial Biblical desert, characterized by the last decade of bubbles and busts.

The monthly S&P shows 3 persistent advances: a 5-year run into March 2000, a 4-year run into July 2007, and a 2-year run in May 2011.

The March 2000 top saw a break and a return rally/test failure into late August 2000. The July 2007 top saw a break and a return rally that made a marginal new high test failure in October 2007. Both of these tests failures of the high came roughly 90 days/degrees later.

In 2011 an initial peak played out on February 18th. A test failure played out with a marginal new high roughly 90 days/degrees later.

In
How Mid-September 2008 Ties To The July 2010 Low And Today from late June, I walked through the setup for a waterfall decline.

The March
03 low was 788 which is where the big advance to 2007 began. 2 x 788 gives the price of the S&P all-time high in 2007.

From the March 6, 2009 low to the May 2, 2011 high is 787 days.

Time was
up this May, but the S&P didnt roll over until the anniversary of the July 07 high.

From August 1971 to August 2011 is 480 months. On the Square of 9 Wheel, 480 is square 90 degrees of August 24th.

August 24th is opposite this year's February 18th peak.

The end of the month also ties to the pre-crash high in 1987, the pre-crash high in 1929, and the return rally high in 2000.

The end of August vibrates off major crashes in history.

In addition, early September ties to the 120-month anniversary of 9/11 and the 1000 point DJIA bungee following that crash.

Will an ABC retracement rally following our recent crash be able to satisfy my projection early last week of a 1000
DJIA rally?

Will the end of the month/early September mark a retracement high or a new low?{PAGE_BREA}Surprisingly, after violating the Bretton Woods agreement, the world kept on functioning as though the US dollar was still as good as gold. The only limit on our power to print money was the world
s willingness to continue tolerating our enormous abuse of this power. In effect, it gave us the power to soak up the savings of others around the world in order for us to consume. It was a giddy time.

It was a giddy-up time for politicians intent on spending to buy votes and the incestuous target they created for lobbyists.

Americans then had a free ride in financial matters to take the labor of others and use them to their benefit. We no longer had to produce. We could just let others do the producing and all that we needed to do was print more money and pay them off.

That illusion is ebbing.

Technically, the market looks like it is creeping higher to finish off an ABC upward correction from 1190 to 1225, which should see the market quickly fall to lower lows. The mid-point of equilibrium between the 666 low and the 1371 high equates to 1018. A decline to 1018 could be a test of the 1011 low in July 2010.

1190 is the mid-point from the July 2010 low to the May 2011 high.

1225 ties to last year's double tops.

A full backtest of the big neckline ties to 1250ish.

This week the market will tie to the chance for an Upside Follow Through Day -- a day with a substantial gain on substantial volume at least 4 days after a low.

This week is also options expiration, so a possible C wave corrective rally could theoretically see the market hold up into the end of the week.

However, without a big momentum day to hook the shorts, the market will drift before another leg down targeting 1040ish to 940ish.

We have been looking for a blow out low near mid-August based primarily on the cycle from 1951.

The closing lows for two sessions near 1121 aligns with mid-August on the Square of 9 Wheel. Only above 1260 does the market suggest something else other than a new bear leg is playing out.

We don
t want to short if a washout has occurred like in August 2007. As we asked in a report last week, is this a blow-out low or a mid-point for a move lower?

At the same time it
s tricky to go long here between 1190 and 1225: the vast majority of technicals indicate a new bear leg. While many stocks are improving they have not repaired the damage.

A lot of comparisons have been made between the current cascade in stocks and 2008. Memory is short on Wall Street, but not that short. It is possible that money managers and robots alike sold first and will ask questions later so as not to be mangled in a another train wreck.

But this is not like 2008 in the sense that the Crash in the Fall of 2008 was a second leg down.

Modern markets haven
t seen a drop off a peak or pivot high from late July like we just witnessed. It was worse that last years Flash Crash in May 2010. It is worse than the initial sell-off in late 2008.

Even on Black Monday in 1987, stocks were decimated in virtually one day and it was over. This one has been a Roller Coaster Crash.

While the market has echoed the Flying Elvis Pattern that installed a low from mid-July 2010, it remains extremely risky as the sharpness and steepness of the selloff leaves it/left it primed for a reflex rally.

At the same time, as offered in a chart in this space in late July, the set up for a waterfall crash like 1929 was in place and that pattern may not have played out completely.

Rickards – US will revalue gold to $7000  Aug 15th, 2011 15:10 by News  August 15 (King World News) — ‘ He (Nixon) said first of all I am imposing national price controls because there was an inflation problem in the United States at the time. The second thing he said was I am putting a 10% surtax of imports on all imported goods coming into the United States. Then about 10 minutes into the speech, very much en passant, he said, ‘Oh by the way we are suspending the convertibility of dollars into gold’ and he immediately went into this Nixonian rant about speculators. So it was very interesting, there were three earth-shaking announcements. Can you imagine any one of those three things going on today? President Obama or any President saying he was going to impose nationwide price controls, or all Chinese goods would have a 10% surcharge. It would be cataclysmic, yet Nixon did both of those things. Plus (Nixon) took us off the gold standard, so it was quite a dramatic speech. In a strange way he did us all a favor by making sure we (the US) held on to the gold. So I do think the United States is in a position to revalue the currency using gold to that $7,000 level. That will obviously be a huge benefit to all of the people who invested in gold because they are going to be along for the ride, along with the United States when that gold goes to $7,000.” Excerpted from an interview that is available here.



Fed Pledge Let's You Know The Fix Is In  Forbes  Peter Schiff Last weeks wild actions on Wall Street should serve as a stark reminder that few investors have any clue as to what is really going on beneath the surface of Americas troubled economy. It did bring startling clarity on at least one front. In its August policy statement the Federal Reserve took the highly unusual step of putting a specific time frame for the continuation of its near zero interest rate policy.

Moving past the previously uncertain pronouncements that they would keep interest rates low for an extended period, the Fed now tells us that rates will not budge from rock bottom for at least two years. Although the markets rallied on the news (at least for a few minutes) in reality the policy will inflict untold harm on the U.S. economy. The move was so dangerous and misguided that three members of the Feds Open Market Committee actually voted against it. This level of dissent within the Fed hasnt been seen for years.

Many economists have short-sightedly concluded that ultra low interest rates are a sure fire way to spur economic growth. The easier and cheaper it is to borrow, they argue, the more likely business and consumers are to spend. And because spending spurs growth, in their calculation, low rates are always good. But, as is typical, they have it backwards.

I believe that ultra-low interest rates are among the biggest impediments currently preventing genuine economic growth in the US economy. By committing to keep them near zero for the next two years, the Fed has actually lengthened the time Americans will now have to wait before a real recovery begins. Low rates are the root cause of the misallocation of resources that define the modern American economy. As a direct result, Americans borrow, consume, and speculate too much, while we save, produce, and invest too little.

It may come as a shock to some, but just like everything else in a free market, interest rate levels are best determined by the freely interacting forces of supply and demand. In the case of interest rates, the determinative factors should be the supply of savings available to lend and the demand for money by people and business who want to borrow. Many of the beneficial elements of market determined rates are explained in my book How an Economy Grows and Why it Crashes. But allowing the government to determine interest rates as a matter of policy creates a number of distortions.

It was bad enough that the Fed held rates far too low, but at least a fig leaf of uncertainty kept the most brazen speculators in partial paralysis. But by specifically telegraphing policy, the Fed has now given cover to the most parasitic elements of the financial sector to undertake transactions that offer no economic benefit to the nation. Specifically, it will simply encourage banks to borrow money at zero percent from the Fed, and then use significant leverage to buy low yielding treasuries at 2 to 4 percent. The result is a bankers dream: guaranteed low risk profit. In other words it will encourage banks to lend to the government, which already borrows too much, and not lend to private borrowers, whose activity could actually benefit the economy.

This reckless policy, designed to facilitate government spending and appease Wall Street financiers, will continue to starve Main Street of the capital it needs to make real productivity-enhancing investments. American investment capital will continue to flow abroad, denying local business the means to expand and hire. It also destroys interest rates paid to holders of bank savings deposits which traditionally had been a financial pillar of retirees. In addition, such an inflationary policy drives real wages lower, robbing Americans of their purchasing power. The consequence is a dollar in free-fall, dragging down with it the standard of living of average Americans.

Until interest rates are allowed to rise to appropriate levels, more resources will be misallocated, additional jobs will be lost, government spending and deficits will continue to grow, the dollar will keep falling, consumer prices will keep rising, and the government will keep blaming our problems on external factors beyond its control. As the old adage goes, insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

THE STOCK MARKET HAS LOST ITS MIND Bethany McLean in Slate Risk On! Do the Fed, computer trading, and a few hedge funds rule the market? That might explain why it's lost its mind. After the madness of last week and the rollercoaster at the beginning of this week, the stock market recovered from its Aug. 10 rout to bounce 423 points on Aug. 11. It was the fourth day in a row in which the index moved by more than 400 points, which has never happened before in history. As I write this, stock prices are leveling off, but the big swings may not be over. Has the market gone mad? Actually, yes.

In theory, the stock market is supposed to reflect the prospects for the economythe earnings potential of the stocks that make up the Dow Jones Industrial Average. But there's more than one reason to believe that what's going on now has little to do with any rational view of the future, and a lot to do with the market itself. "Dip your toes into any risk asset right now and understand that you are not entering into anything remotely resembling a normal market environment," wrote David Rosenberg, the well-respected former Merrill Lynch analyst who is now the chief economist at Canadian firm Gluskin Sheff, in his recent newsletter. "Dysfunctional is more like it."

The first factor to consider is that the huge rebound in stocks and in all sorts of risk assets from the spring of 2009 until May of this year wasn't necessarily driven by a belief that better times were coming. It was driven by a belief that investors had to buy riskier assets given the Fed's determination to hold interest rates near zero. Because investors can't get a return in "safe" assetsindeed, a small return will get chewed up by inflationthey are driven to riskier assets. As more investors pile in, everyone is driven further out along the risk curve.

This is what traders call "risk on." What they mean is that you'll be rewarded for buying risk, regardless of reality. The Fed's second round of quantitative easing ("QE2"), in which it bought $600 billion of Treasuries in order to keep interest rates low, encouraged this investment strategy. "We had a nice two-year rally in risk assets and something close to an economic recovery, but as we had warned, it was built on sticks and straw, not bricks," wrote Rosenberg. "This isn't much different than the financial engineering in the 2002-07 cycle that gave off the appearance of prosperity."

 The Fed intended this to end happily. The fake wealth created by a soaring market was supposed to turn into real wealth, because rich people, who control much of the economy and who have much of their money in the market, were supposed to spend more. But it hasn't worked, partly because of problems in the rest of the worldthe tsunami in Japan, the financial crisis that's brewing in Europeand partly because our own economy is too deep in hock to achieve the necessary stimulus. As Howard Marks, the chairman of Oaktree Capital Management, put it in his recent letter, "The world has awakened to the undesirability of ever-growing government debt."

You can think of the Fed's medicine as a painkiller. It allows everyone to pretend that bad stuff isn't happening, until something shatters the illusion and the comfortable numbness abruptly gives way to panic. There's massive selling. Then the Fed reassures everyone that its toolbox isn't empty just yetwitness the big upturn on Aug. 9 after the Fed said it would likely hold rates near zero until mid-2013 (a worthless prediction if inflation surges)and the market soars. Risk on!

It's hard to develop any real conviction about the direction of the market when so much depends on the actions of the Federal Reserve. That's especially true because even the members of the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee aren't all in agreement. Three members voted against the Fed's Aug. 9 announcement. Complicating matters is that the short term direction of the real economy is also at the mercy of the government. The key line in this Wall Street Journal story: "As goes government spending, so goes the U.S. economy."

Another possible factor in the madness is forced selling by big hedge funds. There are rumors that funds are getting hit by margin calls, or that funds that are having a bad year are getting redemption requests from investors, thereby forcing them to sell. Most of the gossip has focused on John Paulson (the hedge fund manager who famously made his fortune by shorting securities backed by subprime mortgages), given the big positions he was known to have in stocks that have gotten trashed. But if Paulson is hurting, he's probably not alone. "No way big guys could have gotten out," one trader tells me via email. "Big hedge funds with all the same big positions. This move down happened so fast that they are trapped." If this theory is right, then sudden rallies like Thursday's upturn will be followed by more selling, as hedge funds take advantage of the ability to get out.

The last explanation I've heard is that most of the buying and selling hasn't been driven by real people, but rather by computers. Hello, HAL 9000! In the last five years, computer-driven trading, whether controversial high-frequency trading or just programs that buy baskets of stocks based on technical figures, has become a bigger and bigger part of the market. Depending on how you define it, sources tell me it constitutes 70 percent to 90 percent of trading now. "The human element is gone," one trader tells me. At least some people believe that the presence of computers exacerbates the big moves up and down. According to this paper by X. Frank Zhang, an associate professor of accounting at the Yale School of Management, "high frequency trading is positively correlated with stock price volatility." Zhang goes on to say that the "positive correlation is stronger among the top 3,000 stocks in market capitalization and among stocks with high institutional holdings. The positive correlation is also stronger during periods of high market uncertainty." Zhang's academic work is supported by the observations of those who have been in the market for a long time. "I suspect that the real culprits here are the computers Wall Street has programmed and unleashed to trade and manage portfolios," wrote John Bollinger, who has been publishing his Capital Growth Letter for more than two decades. "The sort of mindless selling that we are seeing is most likely the result of machines trading and human beings desperately trying to keep up with them."

Should you buy? Should you sell? No one knows. The world is always an uncertain place, but right now it's more uncertain than usual, whether about the ultimate resolution of Europe's crisis or about how the U.S. will reduce its debt and get the economy growing again. Or perhaps I should say reduce its debt or get the economy growing, since it's unlikely to achieve both at the same time. This inability to guess what the future holds means that madness rules.

 

Withdrawals From Stock Funds Biggest Since 08  Aug 12th, 2011 15:32 by News (Bloomberg) Investors pulled the most money from global stock funds since 2008 in the past week as the Standard & Poors downgrade of Treasuries and the deepening European debt crisis prompted a flight into cash and gold. Funds that buy global equities suffered $3.5 billion in net withdrawals in the week ended Aug. 10, the most since the second week of October 2008, according to Cameron Brandt, director of research at Cambridge, Massachusetts-based EPFR Global. Investors removed $11.7 billion from funds that invest in U.S. equities, the most since May 2010 when investors pulled money following a one-day market crash that briefly erased $862 billion.This week had a feeling of capitulation as we saw investors running for cover, Brandt said in a telephone interview. The last time we saw this kind of flight to safety was in 2008, he said.

Pity the Policymakers  July 21st, 2011 by News  by Mohamed A. El-Erian (Project Syndicate) — ‘I don’t know about you, but whenever I am in an airplane experiencing turbulence, I draw comfort from the belief that the pilots sitting behind the cockpit’s closed door know what to do. I would feel very differently if, through an open door, I observed pilots who were frustrated at the poor responsiveness of the plane’s controls, arguing about their next step, and getting no help whatsoever from the operator’s manuals. So it is unsettling that policymakers in many Western economies today resemble the second group of pilots. This perception reflects not only the contradictory pronouncements and behavior of policymakers, but also the extent to which economic outcomes have consistently fallen short of their expectations.This perception is evident in Europe, the United States, and Japan, where indicators of economic sentiment are deteriorating again, already-weak recoveries are stalling, and over-stretched balance sheets are becoming even more precarious.’

 

 

 

Greek finance minister brushes off downgrade [ Sounds like a plan! ]

 

 

 

Is America The Next Greece? at Forbes Marc Schindler ‘After many years of overeating (overspending) Greece is in the emergency room with a major financial heart attack and America isn’t far behind.

The doctors (IMF, European finance ministers, the ECB, etc.) are running around trying to save it. Open heart surgery (loans guaranteed by others) has averted the immediate crisis, but Greece is just as overweight today as it was before the crisis. Attempts to lose weight through exercise (austerity measures) cause serious chest pains (riots). The doctors dont want to admit it, but all signs point to a heart transplant (default) as the only way to get Greece onto its feet again.

Greece isnt the only one. It is a veritable epidemic. Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain and a host of other countries are having chest pains. Iceland is feeling better now with its freshly transplanted heart. The American home owner is still in the hospital from his financial heart attack after gobbling up vast quantities of real estate, and it has been many decades since Uncle Sam last could see his toes.

By most accounts (e.g. here or Bill Gross statements in a recent interview) total hidden government liabilities add up to about $60-$100 trillion. That is on top of the $14 trillion of debt carried on the balance sheet. Adding up those liabilities, the US owes at least five times GDP, which currently sits at about $15 trillion. For comparison, Greeces debt is about 1.5 times its GDP.

This is not really a fair comparison, because it leaves out any hidden liabilities Greece may have. The US debt figure includes unfunded entitlements, state and local debt, and underfunded public pensions. Nevertheless, it is clear that this is an unsustainable debt load even if the estimates turn out to be off by a factor of two or four.

Uncle Sam is already more overweight than Greece ever was. If he doesnt change his ways, he will end up in the hospital like Greece, but at present he is partying like there is no tomorrow, gorging himself on entitlement spending, costly wars, bailouts, subsidies, and countless other delicacies.

Perhaps it would not be such a bad thing if the talks about raising the debt limit failed. After Uncle Sam suffers the resulting self-inflicted mild heart attack (temporary default) and finds out how much fun it is to fetch up in the emergency room, he might be more inclined to take care of himself, slim down, and stick with an exercise regime.

Some kind of a wakeup call is necessary while there is still time to deal with our debt problem. The only way to address it is for Washington to do its job: get everybody to recognize that there is a problem, find a solution that demands some sacrifices from everyone, and work together across party lines to implement it. In the current political environment that does not seem to be possible. Something needs to change the environment. Greece shows that the alternative is not pretty.

Standing on the precipice – and ready to jump  July 21st, 2011 News By Wolfgang Münchau ( Financial Times) — ‘It looks like there will be deal on a eurozone package for Greece.

As part of such a package, short-term Greek debt will be more or less forcibly converted into long-term debt. The wretched bank tax is mercifully off the table. And the European financial stability facility will most likely be allowed to purchase Greek debt at a discount. LET US NOT MINCE WORDS HERE. THIS WOULD BE A DEFAULT, THE FIRST BY A WESTERN INDUSTRIALISED COUNTRY IN A GENERATION. I am not quite sure how it is possible for the European Central Bank to agree to this, or to all of this. But I will surely be intrigued to hear how Jean-Claude Trichet will manage to be consistent with what he said a few days ago. There are also reports that the eurozone leaders may accept a more flexible EFSF beyond those bond purchases.’

The Greater Depression Is Upon Us by David Galland http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig10/galland34.1.html  Casey Research Recently by David Galland: The Road to Perdition  The phrase Greater Depression was coined by Doug Casey a decade or so back as a way of describing the economic crisis he foresaw as inevitable, and which is now materializing.

Because I think it is important for every organization to constantly challenge its own assumptions, Ive long acted as something of a devils advocate here at Casey Research. By constantly pushing our analysts to revisit their assumptions and calculations, it is my firm intention for us to spot the fork in the road that indicates it is time to shift strategies away from investments designed to do well in the face of a currency debasement and to something else.

Being attentive to that fork in the road is hugely important, because even though we urge our subscribers not to overdo their exposure to inflation hedges, we recognize that many do. Many a good person had their clocks cleaned in the early 1980s solely because they had become overly enamored of their precious metals so much so that they stopped thinking of them as an asset class and began thinking of them more in the terms one might associate with an amorous dinner date. Thus these investors were utterly unprepared when said date stood up and broke a dinner plate over their heads.

With that brief setup, I want to make our views clear: While we correctly anticipated the recent correction in precious metals, this correction is but a blip in a secular bull market that is very much intact.

Doug Casey has often said that the unfolding crisis is going to be even worse than he expects (which is saying something), and the longer the rest of us at Casey Research study the tea leaves, it is hard to disagree that the Greater Depression is still ahead.

Consider:

THE EUROZONE IS GROWING INCREASINGLY DESPERATE. Watching the heads of Europe dither and debate over further bailouts to the unhappy Greeks and other troubled PIIGS – before ultimately reaching back into the pockets of the equally unhappy citizens in Germany and the decreasing number of still-functioning economies in the eurozone – reminds me of a down-on-his-luck blackjack player. He’s mortgaged his home to play the game but is now down to his last chips. He doesn’t want to risk his remaining resources but has no choice, because to walk away now will mean taking up residence in a cardboard box. And so, reluctantly, he shoves across another pile. The problem is that the game is rigged – and not in his favor. As the PIIGS start to default and either leave the eurozone entirely or are shunted off into some sort of sidecar organization, there will be great volatility in the euro and in the European markets.

THE U.S. DEBT SITUATION IS FAR WORSE THAN ANYONE IN WASHINGTON IS WILLING TO ADMIT. We keep hearing calls for more, not less debt creation. But if people would stop kidding themselves and tally up all the many demands the U.S. government has against it, the actual debt-to-GDP ratio rises to something on the order of 400% – and even that is likely understating things. The fundamental flaws in the U.S. monetary system – flaws that have given license to the bureaucrats to smash the limousine of state straight into a wall – have required a remaking every 20 to 30 years or so. The problem is that there is pretty much nothing else that can be done to save the status quo at this point, and so the monetary system is likely to collapse. That means big changes ahead, including – or perhaps starting with – a poisonous ratcheting up of interest rates.

CHINA’S MIRACLE MIRAGE. While having aspects of a free market, the hard truth is that China is run as a command economy by a cadre of communist holdovers. This is apparent in the cities that have been built for no purpose other than creating jobs and boosting GDP. It is also apparent in the growing inflation in China – the inevitable knock-on of the government’s decision to yank on the levers of money creation harder than any other nation at the onset of the Greater Depression. Meanwhile, signs of social unrest crop up here and there. Though so far they have been swiftly put down, there is no question that the ruling elite has to walk a very fine line. If the Chinese economy stumbles seriously, all bets are off. That we are talking about the world’s second-largest economy means this is not of small consequence.

JAPAN IS ESSENTIALLY OFFLINE. Reports from friends in Japan – including one who was initially skeptical about the scale of the problems at Fukushima – have now changed in tone by 180 degrees. You can almost feel the growing sense of desperation as the already massively indebted nation begins to slide toward an abyss. There is little standing in the way of the world’s third-largest economy’s slide.

THE MIDDLE EAST IS IN FLAMES. This, too, is far from settled. As usual, the U.S. government has been hopping here and there in an attempt to maintain its influence, but at this point pretty much everything is up for grabs. The odds of the U.S. retaining the same level of influence in the region that it has enjoyed over the last century are slim to none, especially now that even the Saudis are shipping more of their oil to China than to the U.S. Again, big changes are ahead…’

 

 

 

Watch Out: 2011 Looks A Lot Like The Market Top In 2007 at Forbes  Sean Hanlon  Back on December 12, 2007 I wrote a market commentary that started as follows:

The equity markets have been very volatile this year, but also range bound.  A picture speaks a thousand words so all one needs to do is view the chart below of the S&P 500 Index to understand just how volatile and range bound things have been.  Specifically, since February 20, 2007, only nine and one half months or so ago, the S&P 500 Index has been down 5.86%, up 13.02%, down 9.43%, up 11.26%, down 10.09%,
and now up 7.73% through 12/10/07 so far in this
latest up leg!  All this in ONLY nine and one half months!

http://blogs-images.forbes.com/advisor/files/2011/07/market-commentary-1.jpg

History is repeating itself so far in 2011, which has been fraught with ups and downs in both international and domestic equity markets.  This is due to many things, including the considerable economic doubts and various countries debt situations. This uncertainty has translated into market performance with direct impacts on portfolio returns and more prominently in portfolio volatility. This volatility is best seen in the chart below of the S&P 500 Index beginning 1/1/11.

http://blogs-images.forbes.com/advisor/files/2011/07/market-commentary-2.jpg

2010 ended positivity and the momentum carried into the first two months of 2011 however the end of February began a series of events that led market returns on a whipsaw ride of ups and downs, resulting in the current universal mid-year views of market uncertainty.

What news was associated with this volatility? All the usual; crude oil prices, natural disasters, corporate earnings, politics, economic forecast revisions for both developed and emerging markets, the European debt situation, the United States debt situation and more to name just a few.

One thing is for certain; the current volatile, range bound market activity is difficult at best to profit from.  In this investing environment patience is the most important attribute.  I will be patient and will be careful until the trends are preferable.

Our strategy at Hanlon Investment Management is to attempt to minimize downside risk by exiting risk asset classes, such as equities, during periods of uncertainty, getting invested in more conservative asset classes, such as money markets and short-term bonds, and re-entering into risky asset classes when we identify them as attractive, when the trend is our friend and positive!

Having identified this volatility, in June we made defensive, tactical investment decisions that provide less exposure to these volatile, range bound markets and prepare us to re-enter the markets when they possess improved risk characteristics.

 

 

 

 

Deficit Ceiling and Stocks - Expect the Unexpected ETFguide Simon Maierhofer, July 19, 2011, ‘A number of cliches come to mind when talking about the U.S. debt situation. The most appropriate might be: 'You can't have your cake and eat it too.' The least applicable is probably: 'Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.'

But if you think the U.S. will default on some of its obligations anytime soon, you don't have enough faith in the government's most potent weapon - extend and pretend (another cliche that's become the modus operandi).

Since 1960, Congress has acted 78 separate times to permanently raise, temporarily extend, or revise the definition of the debt limit. Chances are Congress will act again before the August 2 deadline. That however isn't good news.

By the end of this article you will know the common sense, no nonsense, deficit ramifications for the stock market and why even 'a deal' isn't good news.

USA Inc. - Income Statement

If the United States was a corporation - USA Inc. - here's what the Income Statement would look like:

Total federal spending in 2010 amounted to $3.456 trillion. Total receipts added up to $2.162 trillion. USA Inc.'s 2010 deficit was $1.294 trillion.                                 

The 2011 federal budget is $3.7 trillion with a projected deficit of$1.6 trillion. But there's no reason to despair, just before April 15,Congressional leaders were able to agree on $39 billion worth of budgetcuts for the remainder of the year.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid hailed this heroic effort as a 'historic' level of cuts. To quantify just how 'historic' that effort was we'll put it in percentage terms -1%. The cut amounted to only 1% of the 2011 budget. Apparently it wasn't enough. Thanks to extend and pretend we've arrived at the next deadline.

Stocks Applaud ... and Decline

Keep in mind that back in mid-April when the 'historic' $39 billion cut was hammered out, the S&P was at about 1,300. Following the 'resolution' of the budget problem stocks rallied about 5%.

The April 3 ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter featured the chart below (due to size restrictions the chart had to be reduced). As per the chart and accompanying analysis, the Newsletter expected a rally to the next Fibonacci resistance at 1,369, followed by a bounce off the Fibonacci support at either 1,229 or 1,255 and an attempt to take out the previous high.

 http://www.etfguide.com//contributor/UserFiles/8/Image/5%20-%20April%203%20TF.jpg

This outlook was based purely on technical analysis with no regard for the deficit problem or European debt woes (we'll take a look at an updated technical forecast in a moment). The S&P did top at 1,370 on May 2. Thereafter it dropped to 1,259, and tried to take out the previous high (the S&P rallied as high as 1,356 on July 7and stumbled thereafter).

USA Inc. - Balance Sheet

If you think the Income Statement looks bad, you may not want to look at the Balance Sheet. Consensus estimates for unfunded obligations vary. Mary Meeker pegs the shortfall at $31 trillion, PIMCO's Bill Gross estimates the unreported debt to be $75 trillion, while other estimates exceed $100 trillion.

The Deficit and Stocks

When President Obama took office in January 2009, the federal debt was 70% of GDP or $10 trillion. Today the deficit is close to 100% of GDP at $14.3 trillion.  As per a recent AP report, President Obama had to scroll down his demands and would now be content with a $2.4 trillion debt ceiling increase to make it last beyond the 2012 elections.

No doubt, the President would like the deficit issue put on hold until he's re-elected. It seems like everyone has an agenda that takes priority over solving the actual debt issue. The whole game could be summed up as White House budget director Jack Lew put it: 'That all these ideas do is say let's kick the can down the road so that others will deal with it.'

This, by the way, is why the pre-election year of the Presidential election year cycles has seen gains consistently since 1939, because the incumbent party will do what it takes to remain in office longer.

A lose-lose Situation

The drawback of the deficit situation is that there is no easy way out. The government has to either cut spending (as in fewer benefits for Americans) or increase revenue (as in higher taxes).

Pick your poison. Either choice will kill the economy. Of course, you can extend and pretend, which is probably what will end up happening. No matter how much lip stick you have at your disposal, a pig remains a pig. The deficit is a big (red) pig.

What is worse, a $14.3 trillion deficit today, or a $16+ trillion deficit (according to Obama's wish) in 2012? Debt is like gangrene, dry rot or mold, it doesn't just go away, it gets worse (ask Greece, Ireland, Portugal or any of the other PIIGS).

Eliminate Variables

Using European (NYSEArca: VGK - News) debt troubles as a benchmark, there hasn't been a direct correlation between U.S. stocks and European debt. To generalize this even further, there hasn't been a real correlation between the U.S. deficit issue and U.S. stocks.

It was in June 2009 that Greece admitted to having a 'small' problem. Stocks rallied throughout the remainder of 2009, most of 2010 and some in 2011. The same is true for the MSCI EAFE ETF (NYSEArca: EFA - News) and Emerging Market ETF (NYSEArca: EEM - News).

Admittedly, the U.S. is a much bigger problem than the PIGGS, but the principal remains the same - basing investment decisions on the outcome of debt negotiations is tricky because the market has a mind of its own.

Since early 2010, every single time the major indexes a la S&P (SNP: ^GSPC), Dow (DJI: ^DJI), and Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC) sold off more than a few percent, it's been blamed on Greece. What many don't consider is that the market was helplessly overbought in January, and April 2010 and 2011 and due for a correction anyway. It seems like Greece has been a scapegoat more often than the actual cause. Perhaps it's a game of chicken and the egg. Which came first?

No Chicken-Egg Game

It has been more beneficial and profitable to rely on solid technical analysis rather than playing the chicken and egg game.

Technical analysis along with sentiment readings pegged a market bottom of the same degree at S&P 1,259 - 1,245. That was the opinion of the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter on June 15 (one day before the 1,258 bottom):

'The 200-day SMA at 1,257 is sandwiched between the 1,255 Fibonacci projection level dating back to 2002 and this week's s1 at 1,259. Wednesday's low was at 1,261.9. If this low is not enough, there is a strong cluster of support at 1,259 - 1,245. A drop into the 1,259 - 1,245 range would prompt us to close out short positions and leg into long positions' (long positions were closed out at S&P 1,345 on July 7).

There was no fundamental good news on June 15 or 16. Some of the headlines featured on June 15 were:

'Is the bull market over? A look at four different sentiment measures suggests that more pain may await investors.' - Barrons

'Greek default could trigger chain reaction' - AP

'Confidence is eroding among U.S. factories, consumers' Bloomberg …’

 

 

 

Fed Keeping Market Afloat: QE Rally Not Sustainable http://regator.com/p/252365030/fed_keeping_market_afloat_qe_rally_not_sustainable By Matthew Claassen

 

 

Financial Crisis Phase II Is Ahead at Forbes Bert Dohmen  In late 2007, I wrote the book Prelude To Meltdown, predicting the global crisis that occurred the following year.  I now see a similar confluence of events that warns of phase II of the global crisis.

Once again I see all the canaries in the mine, which warned of the 2008 crisis. My just released book, Financial Apocalypse , provides the clues and the road map, with charts, of how my  indicators successfully predicted the meltdown that occurred in the fall of 2008. This book is a guide for detecting the next crisis whenever it occurs.  History repeats, or at minimum, it rhymes.

My work shows that the new recession has started. The May 9 issue of the Wellington Letter was headlined:  Return of the Double-Dip.  At the time, economists were looking for a great economy in the second half. Now they talk about a soft patch.  Over the past 33 years, we have called the start of every recession, often on the exact month, or within one month, of the official start as determined one year later by the official arbiter of recession, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER).

How can we be in recession now when the GDP still shows growth? Because of improper inflation adjustments. Real GDP growth, the headline number, is nominal growth minus the rate of inflation. However, inflation is far understated for political reasons.

Currently, the GDP deflator is 1.8%, which hardly reflects the true rise in prices. Therefore, what is counted as growth, is actually price increases. Actual inflation, according to free market economists who calculate inflation as it was done in 1980 before the politician re-engineered it, is now more than 11%. Using that to adjust GDP for inflation, would show that the economy is now in a very sharp contraction.

When the current euphoric earnings forecasts of Wall Street finally reflect that via significant earnings downgrades, the stock market will see a serious adjustment as well.

On July 18, Goldman Sachs (GS) substantially lowered its economic growth forecast. Marketwatch.com had this headline:  Goldman Sachs slashes Economic Forecasts. The next step will be for them to substantially reduce earnings forecasts for the S&P 500.

Will the phase II be as bad as the 2008 crisis? The last crisis was confined to the private sector, i.e. financial institutions. The next one will be involve the threatened default of entire countries. The last time, the central banks bailed out the financial firms and even Warren Buffett bailed out several firms. Who is big enough to bail out entire countries? Or will the term of too big to fail turn to too big to bail?

Bert Dohmen is editor of the Wellington Letter and author of Financial Apocalypse.

3 Top Crooks Still Roaming Free After the Economic Crash Wall St. Cheat Sheet July 25, 2011, The global economy and stock markets took a nose dive in 2008. But that hasn’t stopped some of the biggest masterminds from escaping a day of luxury.

Here are three financial crooks who are probably sipping daiquiris in Capri at our expense:

Lehman Brothers CEO Richard S. Fuld, Jr.

Few executives were as intimately and extensively involved in the downfall of their firms as Dick Fuld . At the time of the financial collapse, Fuld had worked for Lehman Brothers for nearly 40 years, and had been the firms chief executive since 1994. In that role, not only was he the longest-tenured CEO on Wall Street at the time of the financial crisis, but he was considered one of the best. He was named Institutional Investor magazines top chief executive in the private sector in 2006. The following year, he was paid more than $21 million in cash and stock on top of his base salary of $750,000 a year after the banks net profit rose 5% to a record $4.2 billion. And as recently as March 2008, Barrons listed him on their list of the 30 best CEOs, referring to him as Mr. Wall Street.

When the financial crisis hit, Fuld was one of the few executives to hold onto his position. He counted himself responsible for the company, but didnt realize just how much real estate loans and other toxic assets were weighing on his balance sheet. Instead, he remained confident in the firm that he helped grow from a negative profit in 1993. His hubris can somewhat be understood, given the firm hadnt reported a single quarterly loss since it went public. But Fuld was wrong. He overestimated the value of his firm, rejecting offers that could have saved it from collapse because they didnt adequately reflect what he felt the firm was worth.

We know that sub-prime mortgages were almost solely responsible for the financial crisis, and a large part of the Wall Streets fourth-largest investment banks worth was held in its mortgage business, where mortgages were re-packaged and sold to other investors, often for more than they were really worth. In fact, Lehman was the top U.S. underwriter of mortgage bonds in 2006 and 2007, accounting for roughly 10% of the market. As CEO, Fuld was responsible for buying those assets, which ultimately became toxic and impossible to unload. But whether or not Fuld can be held wholly responsible for the firms loan practices, he can be held responsible for the firms bankruptcy. As late as August 2008, after many CEOs had already been forced to resign, he rejected an offer by state-run Korea Development Bank to buy a 25% stake in Lehman for $4 billion to $6 billion.

Theres no question that the firm Fuld helped build, that hed been a part of since 1969, where he held the top position for 14 years, was criminally responsible for the financial crisis. In fact, it may be the most culpable, given the sheer volume of sub-prime mortgages underwritten by Lehman in the years leading up to the market collapse. On September 15, Lehman became the largest firm to file for bankruptcy in history, dealing a devastating blow to an already fragile financial system. A few weeks later, Fuld was summoned to appear before Congress as part of an inquisition. He was also investigated by three United States Attorneys offices in New York and New Jersey. But ultimately Fuld walked away from Lehman Brothers having pocketed nearly $500 million just in his last six years with the firm, years during which Lehmans sub-prime mortgage practice was contributing to what would ultimately cost taxpayers $700 billion in a government-issued bank bailout program. Fuld was never charged with or convicted of any crimes.

AIG Financial Products CEO Joseph J. Cassano

As a founding member and head of AIG Financial Products, Joe Cassano was responsible for selling hundreds of billions of dollars worth of credit protection in the form of credit-default swaps (CDS) on U.S. sub-prime mortgages, a form of insurance that didnt require that AIG put down any form of collateral. So when the financial crisis hit in 2008 and investment banks requested the insurance money for their collapsing derivatives, AIG was unable to pay what was owed and ultimately had to be bailed out by the government, receiving about $170 billion in taxpayer money.

Cassano resigned from his position at AIG FP in March 2008, having pocketed $280 million in cash and an additional $34 in bonuses. He even managed a $1 million-a-month retirement package that kept him on at AIG as a consultant. Cassano even went on record denying any fault on the part of AIG, saying,

We believed until late 2005 that banks and other mortgage originators were applying appropriate standards when writing mortgages. When we recognized well before many others that changes in the mortgage market likely presented increased risk for future deals, we decided to exit the subprime business. We thought the decision was appropriate, despite the lost profits at the time. With hindsight, the decision looks even more prudent.

Cassano went so far as to blame the bailout for losses on CDS contracts, saying there would have been few, if any, had they not been unwound by the bailout. Testifying before the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, Cassano fully defended his firms CDS practices, outlining the careful approval and monitoring system that, specifically identified risk factors and provided an analysis of those risks. Cassano insisted that AIG had not miscalculated the risks of sub-prime mortgages.

However, Cassano was directly responsible for AIGs credit-default swaps program that put the firms many clients, including Goldman Sachs, in danger when it was unable to pay out on insurance claims. He essentially sold billions of dollars worth of vapor he failed to provide what had been paid for by the firms clients. That sounds remarkably like fraud, the grounds upon which many investors have filed suit against Cassano. In fact, regulators in both the U.S. and the U.K. investigated Cassanos acts to determine whether they had been criminal. But like just about every executive responsible for the financial crisis, Cassano was not ultimately charged with any wrongdoing, and remains a free man.

Countrywide Financial Chairman and CEO Angelo Mozilo

Ranked second by Condé Nast Portfolio on their list of the Worst American CEOs of All Time, Angelo Mozilo was charged in 2009 of insider trading and securities fraud by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Mozilo personally sold hundreds of millions of dollars in stock while using shareholder funds to buy back stock to support the share price. He is also responsible for what has been termed the Friends of Angelo VIP program under which several influential lawmakers, including Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd, as well as many Fannie Mae employees and other Friends of Angelo, received discounted mortgages.

However, Mozilo was allowed to settle with the SEC on all charges. He agreed to pay $67.5 million in fines, the most ever exacted from an individual in connection with the 2008 financial crisis, and he was banned from ever serving as an officer or director of any other public company. Robert Khuzami, director of the SECs Division of Enforcement, said that Mozilos record penalty is the fitting outcome for a corporate executive who deliberately disregarded his duties to investors by concealing what he saw from inside the executive suite. But in settling, Mozilo was able to avoid a trial and any subsequent criminal charges, and was not required to acknowledge any wrongdoing.

Mozilos net worth has been estimated at roughly $600 million. And because of the indemnification agreement in his contract with Countrywide, the firm was responsible for paying roughly one-third of his fines, leaving Mozilo with a bill of $47.5 million thats less than 10% of his worth. Aside from Bernie Madoff, the only executive tied to the financial crisis to be criminally prosecuted and convicted, Mozilos settlement is the greatest punishment inflicted on any executive responsible for the countrys economic collapse, and falls desperately short of true justice.

Mapping the Myths of the U.S. Economy - Stacy Curtin  In The Real State of America Atlas: Mapping the Myths and Truths of the United States, authors Cynthia Enloe and Joni Seager paint a vivid picture of life in the U.S., using a series of charts, graphics and short essays that cover almost every aspect of the nation's economy and society as a whole.

Not only do they give state-by-state comparisons, they show how the U.S. measures up to the rest of the world in areas such as health care, housing and defense. But while analyzing what it's really like to live in the U.S. today, they also uncovered a few "myths and truths" as the title of the book suggests.

Enloe and Seager joined The Daily Ticker's Aaron Task to share three of the most surprising misconceptions they uncovered.

#1 Land of Homeowners

The dream of owning a home is actually more the reality in other countries. In the book, the authors point to the most recent data, which show only 68% of Americans owned their home in 2002, compared with 92% in Hungry, 84% in Mexico, 72% in the U.K. and 71% in Australia.

"One of the things that is a cherished notion about America is we are a nation of homeowners, and homeownership has long been seen as kind of the bedrock of the American dream," says Seager. "I think the current economic crisis and the housing crisis is really shaking that American cherished view of ourselves as having easy access to homeownership."

This is evident in another stat laid out in the book, which shows 83% of people agreed that buying a home was a safe investment in 2003, compared with 70% in 2010. (See: Why I Am Never Going to Own a Home Again)  { Home ownership hits lowest level since 1965  NEW YORK (CNNMoney) Les Christie August 5, 2011 As the foreclosure crisis continues to wreak havoc on the housing market, a source of national pride has taken a sour turn. Home ownership is on the decline and, according to a recent Morgan Stanley report…’ }

#2 Land of Opportunity

Just like the ideal of owning a home, opportunity in this country is now also on the brink.

"Opportunity in this country means a chance for an education [and] a chance for a decent job that allows you to have a decent life," says Enloe, who points to two key factors that hinder people making it here in America.

The cost of a college education continues to rise year after year.

The unemployment rate remains high at 9.2%, but it doesn't factor in the millions of "underemployed" workers -- those who are currently working part-time but would like full-time work -- and discouraged workers who have tired of looking for a job and have just dropped out of the job market.

#3 Land of Givers

While the U.S. does give more money in foreign aid than any other country in the world, as a percentage of GDP it falls way behind many other nations.

Whereas Sweden gives almost 1% of its GDP in 2008, the U.S. gave 0.19%.

"I think it really should shake Americans' self-perception of two things," says Enloe. "[One] is cutting foreign aid actually the ticket to balancing the budget, but also how do we shape up compared to other countries' generosity?"

 

 

 

Debt Deal Is A Blank Check at Forbes

 

 

U.S. Economic Pessimism Grows - Stacy Curtin  While Democrats and Republicans were arguing over how to prevent the U.S. from a default, families across the country have become increasingly concerned about the overall state of the economy, according to the American Enterprise Institute's latest compilation of recent polls taken in various regions.

Friday's worse than expected GDP numbers only reaffirm this notion. The U.S. economy grew less than expected in the second quarter at 1.3%, but the bigger shock came after Q1 GDP was revised down to 0.4% from 1.9%. These numbers suggest the country could be headed for another recession and Americans are definitely feeling the pain. (See: 2011 Is Proving to Be a Horrible Year For the Economy)

One of the most disconcerting findings in the AEI report is a CBS/New York Times poll from June. It showed that over the last year, more Americans have come to believe the current economic downturn is part of a long-term permanent decline and that the economy will never fully recover. In October 2010, 28% of respondents agreed with that statement, versus 39% last month.

"Americans are so pessimistic about the economy now ... . And the level of public pessimism is actually higher than the deep 1981-82 recession overall," due to grim personal outlooks on a number of issues like jobs, retirement and health care, says Karlyn Bowman, a senior fellow at AEI who co-authored the report. "Their negative sentiments are affecting the way they feel about their family's future, and interestingly, the way they feel about their state governments. Usually negative attitudes about the national government don't seep into attitudes about the state government, but this time it is really different. This negative, gloomy mood is pervasive.

Speaker of the House John Boehner echoed these concerns Thursday before one of the many failed House votes to raise the country's debt ceiling. "This is a challenging time for our country," he said. "Americans are worried about their jobs. They're worried about our economy. And they're worried about our debt."

Since the polls in the report were conducted before the debt-ceiling debate really began heating up over the last few weeks, one might conclude that if the same questions were asked today the responses would be even more pessimistic.

Here are other key findings from the AEI report:

Job anxiety: In the past six months, about 5% of Americans surveyed had lost their job, two in 10 said a family member had lost a job, and six in 10 knew someone who lost a job.

In June 2011, 58 percent were very or somewhat worried they could lose a job in the next 12 months. Nearly eight in 10 say jobs are difficult to find where they live. Around a quarter are worried about benefit or pay cuts.

Cutting back: Americans are cutting back on everything from health care to haircuts. Fewer than four in 10 say their personal financial situation is in excellent or good shape right now. Almost as many people say they are falling behind as believe they are getting ahead, but the vast majority describe their financial situation as having just enough money to maintain their standard of living. Inflation worries are high and steady.

Retirement: There's been a dramatic drop in the number of Americans who say they have enough money to retire. In 2002, around six in 10 believed they would have enough money. In the latest survey by Gallup in April, only about four in 10 say they will.

USAGOLD RoundTable: Debt Ceiling Resolution EU Sovereign Debt Crisis Aug 3rd, 2011 15:53 by News Were pleased to present our latest RoundTable video discussion with our staff experts George Cooper, Peter Grant and Jonathan Kosares {Immediate access here} Excerpt: Now that the debt ceiling debate is over, and the dust is settling, the market is beginning to get a picture of what, if anything, was accomplished, and can be expected moving forward. The $2 trillion in cuts over ten years amounts to a small dent in our annual deficit, suggesting that the U.S. will continue to increase its debt to GDP ratio over the coming decade. The cuts suggested will merely slow, not reverse, this trend. In the end, this debt deal is nothing more than a giant kick of the can down the road, and a short road at that. The hike to the debt ceiling looks to only buy about six months, so this issue is set to be revisited next year. The market has digested this resolution as such, and gold has responded sharply higher, rising $60 in two days. The DOW meanwhile has come under significant pressure, shedding over 800 points in a week. Things across the pond are not looking any better. The credit facility set up by the ECB is insufficient at best, and contagion remains an enormous risk. Spreads on sovereign debt in Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal and Ireland are at or near all time highs. As talks of dramatically expanding the credit facility heat up, were left to wonder if its even possible for Europe to go big enough to calm market jitters. With Peter Grant, George Cooper, and Jonathan Kosares. (24 min) The Daily Market Report Aug 1st, 2011 12:01 by PG  Relief? What Relief? http://www.usagold.com/cpmforum Late last night when party leaders and the President announced that they had reached a bipartisan deal that would allow the debt ceiling to be raised, gold dropped about 1%. Global stocks rallied in relief and briefly, ever so briefly, gold was out of favor. However, as the details were revealed, doubts were reignited: Doubts as to whether such legislation could actually make it to the Presidents desk. Doubts that the deal would avert a downgrade of US sovereign debt.While the CBO scores the package as accomplishing $2.1 trillion in spending cuts over the next 10-years, the CBO baseline also has the deficit rising $6.7 trillion over the same period. The premise apparently being that were working our way to actual cutting by cutting to slow the pace of the nations proliferate spending. In actuality and as evidenced below that CBO baseline may prove to be way too optimistic.What really lit an intraday fire under gold today was the big miss on US July ISM, which plunged to 50.9. The market was expecting a modest downtick to 55.0 from 55.3 in June. On the heals of last weeks much weaker than expected quarterly GDP data, it has become abundantly apparent that the US economy has slowed to just above stall-speed. David Rosenberg, chief economist at Gluskin Sheff and Associates, noted last week that once the economy slows to a growth rate of 1.6% it has proven historically to be a point of no return and recession follows. With Q1 downgraded to just 0.36% and Q2 an anemic 1.3% and likely subject to future negative revision as well the writing may well be on the wall.The debt deal is a short-term kick of the can that at least initially focuses on spending cuts. However, with no mitigation of the uncertainties that have kept private capital sidelined for the past two-years of the so-called recovery, there is little reason to think that a more robust economy is just around the corner. In fact, the opposite may be true. That realization, tipped in by the ISM data, has further escalated the QE3 talk, which prompted gold to retest the record high set Friday at 1632.39. Relief? What relief?If we get another negative surprise on Friday when July nonfarm payrolls comes out, as the ISM employment index suggests we might, the QE3 talk will intensify ever more in the weeks ahead of the Feds Jackson Hole summit. Consensus on July payrolls are running around +100k, although we could see some tempering of those expectations in light of the ISM data.Even with the announcement of the debt ceiling deal, the dollar remains on the ropes, falling to new record lows against the Swiss franc and the yen. If this deal makes it through both Houses of Congress and is signed by the President, it is just another kick of the can and a very short one at that down the road. And with the specter of yet another round of quantitative easing hanging over the market, there is little incentive to buy dollars. Now the BoJ is once again contemplating direct intervention in the market, as I suspect the SNB is. If there are concerted efforts to slow the rise of these currencies, it may make gold an even more alluring option.

S&P Shocks the U.S. with Credit Downgrade to AA+ from Prestigious AAA Rating  Wall St. Cheat Sheet  August 5, 2011,

Standard & Poors is out with an official downgrade of the U.S. credit rating:

We have lowered our long-term sovereign credit rating on the United States of America to AA+ from AAA and affirmed the A-1+ short-term rating.

We have also removed both the short- and long-term ratings from CreditWatch negative.

The downgrade reflects our opinion that the fiscal consolidation plan that Congress and the Administration recently agreed to falls short of what, in our view, would be necessary to stabilize the governments medium-term debt dynamics.

More broadly, the downgrade reflects our view that the effectiveness, stability, and predictability of American policymaking and political institutions have weakened at a time of ongoing fiscal and economic challenges to a degree more than we envisioned when we assigned a negative outlook to the rating on April 18, 2011.

Since then, we have changed our view of the difficulties in bridging the gulf between the political parties over fiscal policy, which makes us pessimistic about the capacity of Congress and the Administration to be able to leverage their agreement this week into a broader fiscal consolidation plan that stabilizes the governments debt dynamics any time soon.

The outlook on the long-term rating is negative. We could lower the long-term rating to AA within the next two years if we see that less reduction in spending than agreed to, higher interest rates, or new fiscal pressures during the period result in a higher general government debt trajectory than we currently assume in our base case.

13 Reasons Why The U.S. Is Now OFFICIALLY BANKRUPT Daily Bail | Stop the budget lies; there are NO cuts. House passes bill to INCREASE spending by $7 trillion over the next 10 years. ATTENTION IDIOTS IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA Stop The Budget Lies There Are NO Cuts House Passes Bill To INCREASE Spending By $7 Trillion Over The Next 10 Years

Lies, Damn Lies And Government Budgets

I am so pissed off by the misreporting I could spit Ken Lewis hairballs.

#1) Corporate journalists and financial pundits know NOTHING about budgets.

#2) The Boehner led House passed legislation this evening that INCREASES spending by $7 TRILLION over the next ten years versus a baseline budget that would have increased spending by $9.5 TRILLION over the same period.

#3) CBO said today that LESS than 2% of the decrease in the GROWTH of spending will come before the 2012 elections. The remainder come after the election.

#4) Defense and war machine spending will grow at 3% per year instead of 4% per year.

#5) This was nothing but an agreement to agree at a later date to look for reductions in planned spending GROWTH.

#6) A Super Congress will decide on a mix of tax increases and reductions in planned spending growth to meet the targets at a later date.

#7) No one in Congress even considered Ron Pauls simple plan, now endorsed by Time Magazine as well as liberal economist Dean Baker, to wipe out $1.6 trillion in fake debt owned by the Federal Reserve. Debt that we owe to ourselves, that is entirely legal to wipe away.

#8.) CBO says under this plan, the national debt will INCREASE from $14.4 TRILLION currently to more than $25 TRILLION over the next 10 years.

#9) The assumption for #8 above assumes the economy grows at 3% per year over the next 10 years, and that Treasury interest rates stay at historic lows. When rates increase, and bet your life that they will, interest on the debt will increase and so will annual deficits, leading to a national debt much higher than the $25 TRILLION that CBO estimates.

#10) Regarding Treasury rates and interest on the debt, get educated about a concept called DURATION RISK. Turbo Geithner and his MENSA bed-fellows at Treasury have chosen to finance the great majority of recent and future borrowing in short-term bills, which means that they have to be rolled over frequently. This is perhaps the least-discussed and most dangerous issue related to Treasury debt.

#11) If S&P or Moodys has the sack to downgrade the U.S. AAA rating, a Sovereign CDS default will be triggered and Global Financial Armageddon will be unleashed.

#12) The bill passed by Boehner tonight was the BEST they could do after 6 weeks of fighting.

#13) Due to #12, the United States is officially f*cked.

Thank you and good night.

 

 

 

US Closer to ‘Junk Bond’ Status Than Triple-A: Bove Aug 9th, 2011 14:41 by News August 9 (CNBC) — ‘  “You’ve got a company which is losing about $1.4 trillion this year, probably will lose somewhere around a trillion dollars over the next couple of years. It owes $14.4 trillion (and) over the next five years that will get up to $20 trillion,” the Rochdale Securities analyst said.“So there’s no likelihood whatsoever that this particular company is able to pay down from its own resources the amount of debt that it has, nor is there any likelihood that it’s going to get rid of its deficit,” he added. “If that was a real company, of course, that would be a junk bond.”“I still would expect to see a thousand-point down day at some point in this market as people come to realize there has been a complete change in the financial structure of the world,” he said’

3 Ring Circus: Geithner, Buffett, and Obama Wall St. Cheat Sheet ‘…Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner , who said last April that there was no risk the U.S. could loose its AAA credit rating, voiced his thoughts on the downgrade.  He said, Theyve handled themselves very poorly, and theyve shown a stunning lack of knowledge about the basic U.S. fiscal budget math.  What exactly are they misunderstanding? The U.S. is the largest debtor nation in the world, and spending outlays vastly outnumber revenue.  Geithner went on to say that U.S. bonds were just as safe after the downgrade as before, and predicted that China and investors would remain strong buyers of government debt.On Monday morning, with stock futures heading sharply lower, Warren Buffett tried to inject confidence into the financial markets.  Buffett explained that he believes the U.S. debt is still rated AAA, and the downgrade does not change his mind about government debt.  In fact, the legendary investor holds $47 billion in cash and equivalents as of June 30th.  He said, If I have to buy Treasuries at zero percent yield, I will.  At least the large cash hoard shows that Buffett puts his money where his mouth is.  However, one also has to wonder if Buffetts shareholdings in Moodys , a rival credit agency to S&P, has anything to do with his criticism of S&P.  To add fuel to the fire, S&P also cut Buffetts Berkshire Hathaway outlook from stable to negative.Not to be outdone by Warren Buffetts AAA endorsement, President Obama made a public announcement of his own on Monday.  Despite Americas financial hardship across the board, the President said, Id give U.S. a quadruple-A rating.  This was puzzling for many reasons ( besides the fact there is no quadruple-A rating).  America has a hard enough time keeping its AA+ or AAA rating, let alone achieving some pipe dream quadruple-A rating.  S&P may be the credit agency causing controversy now, but its not the only credit agency to downgrade America.  Chinas credit rating agency Dagong ,  recently cut Americas debt rating from A+ to A, with a negative outlook.  Dagong had already cut Americas credit rating last November from AA to A+ after QE2 was announced.By the end of Monday, it was announced that the Senate banking committee had started a probe into the downgrade actions of S&P.  However, the damage is already done, confidence is broken in the markets.   Gold constantly reaching new highs is a clear example of this.  Perhaps the Senate banking committee should probe Fitch and Moodys and investigate why they still have AAA ratings on U.S. debt?...

 

 

 

Edwards says this has nothing to do with that downgrade   http://ftalphaville.ft.com/blog/2011/08/09/648126/edwards-says-this-has-nothing-to-do-with-that-downgrade

 Izabella Kaminska on Aug 09 2011

Thought the current turmoil was down to the downgrade of US debt? Wrong!

According to Societe Generales uber bear, Albert Edwards, this has absolutely nothing to do with S&P, the White House, Tea Party etc. Its the economy stupid:

The simple fact is that the global economy is falling back into recession or indeed is already in recession. Equity markets were sliding before the downgrade and bond yields were reacting as one would have expected to the dire economic data. The S&P downgrade may have caused the breach of critical support levels of 1250 on the S&P, but anything could have caused that breach and triggered the technical rout. Expect some sort of retest of this neckline before the market ultimately meets its date with destiny.

Recent US GDP revisions revealed QE2 to be an abject failure as far as producing an economic recovery is concerned with dire 0.9% annualised growth reported in H1 2011. Yet to a man with a hammer, everything is a nail. Hence despite rising core inflation, there is certainly a level of economic and/or market pain to prompt QE3. But expect the real fireworks to occur when the adrenalin rush of QE3 wears off even quicker than QE2.

There are still some diehard happy clappies out there who think we are going to avert recession and the markets will recover. Yet US GDP growth has now fallen below the wellknown 2% stall speed, below which the economy does not seem to be able to regain altitude but instead crashes directly into recession.

Which means its time to come to terms with the fact that recession 2.0 (or was it ever really a recovery?) is on its way whether you like it or not:

At the current (Q2) rate of 1.6% yoy GDP growth, my fellow bear (realist?), David Rosenberg at Gluskin Sheff, points out in the chart below that a US recession is almost certainly a done deal (never say certain, as in 1956, when recession was temporarily averted for all of nine months). But with this sort of record the onus is now on the optimists to demonstrate why on earth they still believe in a second-half recovery and growth in 2012.

Now, anyone who bought into the dulcet tones of the bullish brigrade is likely to do very badly. A fact which will come as hubris. In Edwards opinion if you were dumb enough to listen to that story, well you reap what you sow:

And in the same way that a country is said to get the government it deserves, I believe the market gets the macro commentators it deserves: i.e. perpetually bullish analysts, taking no personal risk with their never-ending consensus chatter.

After all it was always pretty obvious what was going to happen.

It was just a question of when, rather than if:

Put into its proper Ice Age context, the events of the past decade are entirely explicable. As we see a short-lived economic recovery failing only two years into the cycle and a plunge back into recession, we remind investors that this was exactly the Ice Age template that Japan showed us. A fragile recovery undermined by private sector deleveraging collapses as a semi-bankrupt government tries to rein in runaway deficits.

What next? Well, its Ice Age 3.

Heres how it goes and this is very much of the moment (especially if you are a London resident):

We are now entering the third phase of the Ice Age when another cyclical failure combines with a secular de-rating of equities and re-rating of government bonds. I and many others have been pointing out for a long time now the simple fact that the global economy has been living way beyond its means for years. A massive transfer of income to the very rich has occurred while middle class real incomes stagnated. The middle classes only tolerated this because Central Bankers created housing booms to keep the impoverished middle classes borrowing and spending to give them the illusion of prosperity and stop them from revolting.

I believe the Fed and Bank of England, in particular, were wholly complicit in this daylight robbery (see link). These unsustainable private sector, debt mountains were transferred to the public sector in 2008 to prevent the adjustment to the depression-era reality that the debt unwind would undoubtedly have brought about. Yet, those debts are as unsustainable in the hands of the public sector as they were in the private sector.

Central bank polices havent changed though. Print and print and print. And if that doesnt work, print some more. And as London burns, the point I have always made is that the US and UK are not like Japan in one very special way. Although Japan suffered a decade of pain it is a very homogenous, equal society. The UK and US are not. Some readers may not know that rioting and looting has broken out around London. While I hear the UK politicians denounce the looters as common criminals (which of course they are), I cant help but think that Louis XVI in 1789 and Tsar Nicolas II in 1917 might have said the same thing.

Crikey,

Here comes the revolution. Prepare.

 

 

 

Fed Move, Pavlovian Market Response: Reactions  The Wall Street Journal  Mark Gongloff  Paul Krugman scoffs at the Fed-fueled rally:

The Fed didnt announce a new policy. And despite what some press reports said, it didnt even commit to keeping rates low; all it did was say that if the economy stays weak, rates will stay low well, duh and that it might think about doing other stuff one of these days.

Durden is amazed:

Following a 600 point plunge in the DJIA yesterday, today we see a 400 point surge following the presentation of the weak case of the expected Bernanke Put. And completing the amazement, the 10 Year bond, moved to almost record lows, and then retraced virtually the entire move, as nobody knows what central planning has in store for America any longer. Additionally, after being up 50%, VIX is now down 22%.

8 More Reasons Why You Should Be Deeply Concerned That The U.S. Government Has Lost Its AAA Credit Rating The Economic Collapse | Are you ready for part two of the global financial collapse? When we examine this deal that way, what does it look like? The Economic Collapse Aug 9, 2011 Are you ready for part two of the global financial collapse?  Many now fear that we may be on the verge of a repeat of 2008 after the events of the last several days.  On Friday, Standard & Poors stripped the U.S. government of its AAA credit rating for the first time in history.  World financial markets had been anticipating a potential downgrade, but that still didnt stop panic from ensuing as this week began.  On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 634.76 points, which represented a 5.5 percent plunge.  It was the largest one day point decline and the largest one day percentage decline since December 1, 2008.  Overall, stocks have fallen by about 15 percent over the past two weeks.  When Standard & Poors downgraded long-term U.S. government debt from AAA to AA+, it was just one more indication that faith in the U.S. financial system is faltering.  Previously, U.S. government debt had a AAA rating from S&P continuously since 1941, but now that streak is over.   Nobody is quite sure what comes next.  We truly are in unprecedented territory.  But one thing is for sure there is a lot of fear in the air right now.So exactly what caused S&P to downgrade U.S. government debt?Well, it was the debt ceiling deal that broke the camels back.According to S&P, the debt ceiling deal falls short of what, in our view, would be necessary to stabilize the governments medium-term debt dynamics.As I have written about previously, the debt ceiling deal was a complete and total joke, and S&P realized this.Forget all of the huge figures that the mainstream media has been throwing at you concerning this debt ceiling deal.  The only numbers that matter are for what happens before the next election.The only way that the current debt ceiling deal will last beyond the 2012 election is if Obama is still president, the Democrats still control the Senate and the Republicans still control the House.  If any of those things change, this deal ceiling deal is dead as soon as the election is over.Even if all of those things remain the same, there is still a very good chance that we would see dramatic changes to the deal after the next election.So in evaluating this deal, the important thing is to look at what is going to happen prior to the 2012 election.Well, Barack Obama and the Democrats get the debt ceiling raised by over 2 trillion dollars and will not have to worry about it again until after the 2012 election.The Republicans get 25 billion dollars in savings from spending increases that will be cancelled.The Super Congress that is supposed to be coming up with the second phase of the plan may propose some additional spending cuts that would go into effect before the 2012 election, but that seems unlikely.So in the final analysis, the Democrats won the debt ceiling battle by a landslide.25 billion dollars is not even 1 percent of the federal budget.  The U.S. national debt continues to spiral wildly out of control, and our politicians could not even cut the budget by one percent.Somehow our politicians believed that the rest of the world would be convinced that they were serious about cutting the budget, but it turns out that global financial markets are tired of getting fooled.It has gotten to the point where now even the big credit rating agencies are being forced to do something.  Not that they really have much credibility left.  Everyone still remembers all of those AAA-rated mortgage-backed securities that imploded during the last financial crisis.  The reality is that the big credit rating agencies are a bad joke at this point.Several smaller credit rating agencies have already significantly slashed the credit rating of the U.S. government.  But a lot of pressure had been put on the big three to keep them in line.But now things have gotten so ridiculous that S&P felt forced to make a move.Sadly, our politicians are still trying to maintain the charade that everything is okay.  Barack Obama says that financial markets still believe our credit is AAA and the worlds investors agree.Once again, Barack Obama is dead wrong.The truth is that the credit rating for the U.S. government should have been slashed significantly a long time ago.  This move by S&P was way, way overdue.Moodys might be the next one to issue a downgrade.  At the moment, Moodys says that it will not be downgrading U.S. debt for now, but Moodys also says that it has serious doubts about the enforceability of the budget cuts in the debt ceiling deal.This crisis is just beginning.  It is going to play out over time, and it is going to be very messy.The following are 8 more reasons why you should be deeply concerned that the U.S. government has lost its AAA credit rating.

#1 The U.S. dollar and U.S. government debt are at the very heart of the global financial system.  This credit rating downgrade just doesnt affect the United States it literally shakes the financial foundations of the entire world.

#2 As the stock market crashes, investors are flocking to U.S. Treasuries right now.  However, once the current panic is over the U.S. could be faced with increased borrowing costs.  The credit rating downgrade is a signal to investors that they should be receiving a higher rate of return for investing in U.S. government debt.  If interest rates on U.S. government debt do end up going up, that is going to make it more expensive for the U.S. government to borrow money.  The higher interest on the national debt goes, the more difficult it is going to become to balance the budget.

#3 We could literally see hundreds of other credit rating downgrades now that long-term U.S. government debt has been downgraded.  For example, S&P has already slashed the credit ratings of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from AAA to AA+.  S&P has also already begun to downgrade the credit ratings of states and municipalities.  Nobody is quite sure when we are going to see the dominoes stop falling, and this is not going to be a good thing for the U.S. economy.

#4 10-year U.S. Treasuries are the basis for a whole lot of other interest rates throughout our economy.  If we see the rate for 10-year U.S. Treasuries go up significantly, it will suddenly become a lot more expensive to get a car loan or a home loan.

#5 The current financial panic caused by this downgrade is hitting financial stocks really hard.  The big banks led the decline back in 2008, and it looks like it might be happening again.  Just check out what CNN says happened to financial stocks on Monday.

Financial stocks were among the hardest hit, with Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500) plunging 20%, and Citigroup (C, Fortune 500) and Morgan Stanley (MS, Fortune 500) dropped roughly 15%.

#6 China is freaking out. Chinas official news agency says that China has every right now to demand the United States to address its structural debt problems and ensure the safety of Chinas dollar assets.  If China starts dumping U.S. government debt that would make things a lot worse.

#7 There are already calls for the Federal Reserve to step in and do something.  If the U.S. economy drops into another recession, will we see more quantitative easing?  It seems like we have reached a point where the Fed is constantly in emergency mode.

#8 The U.S. national debt continues to get worse by the day.  Just check out what economics professor Laurence J. Kotlikoff recently told NPR.

If you add up all the promises that have been made for spending obligations, including defense expenditures, and you subtract all the taxes that we expect to collect, the difference is $211 trillion. Thats the fiscal gap

Dick Cheney once said that deficits dont matter, but the truth is that all of the debt we have been piling up for decades is now catching up with us.The United States is in such a huge amount of financial trouble that it is hard to put into words.  The days of easy borrowing for the U.S government are starting to come to an end.  We have been living in the greatest debt bubble in the history of the world, and it has fueled a tremendous amount of prosperity, but now the party is ending.

A whole lot of financial pain is on the horizon.  Please prepare for the hard times that are coming.

There is no ques­tion that we live in unprece­dented times of pros­per­ity and wealth cre­ation. And tech­nol­ogy holds great promise for the future achieve­ment of mankind and will drive improve­ment in the stan­dards of liv­ing around the world.

The prob­lem is that we have got­ten ahead of our­selves. By how much, I am not sure. But I am sure that we are due a (last­ing) cor­rec­tion in the stock mar­ket, and the longer that cor­rec­tion is put off, the more painful it will be.

To illus­trate, lets review what drove the last two mar­ket bubbles.

Tech bub­ble – irra­tional exu­ber­ance about the value in tech stocks com­bined with rather loose mon­e­tary pol­icy pushed stocks and cap­i­tal flows to ridicu­lously high levels

Hous­ing bub­ble – lax lend­ing stan­dards, unscrupu­lous bankers, con­flicted reg­u­la­tors, a bot­tom­less appetite for con­sumer spend­ing and a seem­ingly infi­nite amount of cheap money to finance consumption.

Now, lets review what hap­pened after these bub­bles burst.

After the tech bub­ble: mon­e­tary pol­icy remained highly accom­moda­tive and gov­ern­ment stim­u­lus was aplenty

After the hous­ing bub­ble: mon­e­tary pol­icy remained highly accom­moda­tive and gov­ern­ment stim­u­lus was aplenty

See the response pat­tern? See how it affected the markets?

It is as if the bub­bles never burst. Game back on. Like a high-school party, the music stops and every­one is quiet when the cops show up. Some­one con­vinces the cops that noth­ing unscrupu­lous is going on and all will be calm and qui­et. Then, as soon as the cop car is out of sight, the music gets turned back on and the party goes harder.

What will be the response to the third bub­ble that is forming?

That is the ques­tion that I think the mar­ket is finally fac­ing. The answer is not the same as before.

The gov­ern­ment has run out of stim­u­lus and pol­icy bullets.

Really, what else can politi­cians and reg­u­la­tors do to engi­neer a soft land­ing, or should I say, another bub­ble.

Figure 1 shows that we never really landed. We rocketed from one bubble to the next.

Lets take a look at the options avail­able via the two main forces for stim­u­lat­ing eco­nomic recovery:

Fis­cal pol­icy – given the fed­eral, state and munic­i­pal debt and bud­get prob­lems, another round of stim­u­lus spend­ing or another TARP-like pro­gram is prob­a­bly not in the cards. The funds are sim­ply not avail­able. Not to men­tion, I do not think another bailout plan would go over very well with tax-payers.

Mon­e­tary pol­icy – here we have three poten­tial options.

Lower rates – can they go any lower? The answer is not mean­ing­fully lower unless the Fed­eral Reserve wants neg­a­tive nom­i­nal rates. In addi­tion, low inter­est rates under­mine long-term eco­nomic growth poten­tial.

Extend QE2 to QE3 – given that the point of QE2 was to keep inter­est rates, espe­cially mort­gage rates low, I do not think addi­tional quan­ti­ta­tive eas­ing in the form taken so far would have much if any impact on rates given how lower they already are. More­over, dri­ving oil and other com­mod­ity prices higher by fur­ther under­min­ing the value of the dol­lar is not exactly con­ducive to growth.

A new type of QE3 – sup­pose the Fed were to pur­chase large amounts of assets other than trea­suries such as fore­closed homes. I think that action would likely spook investors because it would sig­nal that the car­ry­ing value of those homes were too high. Oth­er­wise, pri­vate investors would have already bought them for their own port­fo­lios. And bank stocks would sink as investors real­ize that addi­tional write-offs might be com­ing. The same reac­tion applies to any other asset that the Fed might choose to take off pri­vate investors’ hands.

So, who is going to bail us out this time?

My over­rid­ing mes­sage is that no one should have bailed us out to begin with. The longer we avoid the painful process of delever­ag­ing and return­ing to a more delib­er­ate and ratio­nal mode of cap­i­tal allo­ca­tion, the more we delay the inevitable. The more we shift the blame for our finan­cial mis­takes to the pub­lic sec­tor, the deeper the hole we must dig out of.

Which brings me to the next point: shift­ing respon­si­bil­ity to the pub­lic sec­tor, i.e. gov­ern­ment, presents some very seri­ous prob­lems and head­winds for future growth:

The gov­ern­ment is not bail­ing any­one out, tax­pay­ers are. In essence, the gov­ern­ment is using hard-earned tax rev­enue to pay for the mis­takes of cer­tain mem­bers of our society.

Moral haz­ard is con­fused with moral oblig­a­tion. Re-distribution of wealth to those that are in gen­uine need of assis­tance from soci­ety is in our long-term best inter­ests. But moral oblig­a­tion quickly becomes moral haz­ard when the re-distribution applies to peo­ple who should, but pre­fer not to, care for themselves.

When the peo­ple who make mis­takes do not pay for mis­takes, they keep mak­ing them…bigger and big­ger. Can you say “mort­gage back securities”?

We run out of money. When cap­i­tal from pro­duc­tive sources is siphoned away to sub­si­dize unpro­duc­tive invest­ments, cap­i­tal is destroyed and never to be found again. When there is less cap­i­tal avail­able for pro­duc­tive invest­ments, growth is forced to slow as are incomes and payrolls.

When growth slows and jobs are not avail­able, bad things hap­pen. For an exam­ple of bad things happening now, take a look at the riots in the streets in Lon­don.

Until we allow the nat­ural price dis­cov­ery that unfet­tered mar­kets are designed to pro­vide, we con­tinue to sub­si­dize unpro­duc­tive invest­ments. And the longer we sub­si­dize unpro­duc­tive invest­ments, the more wealth (and jobs) we destroy in the present and in the future.

Sure, it feels bet­ter when the stock mar­ket sky­rock­ets, bank accounts are fat, growth is strong and the finan­cial future is bright. Wasnt that what we got in the 1990s, then again in the first decade of this century?

It can­not go on for­ever. Con­sider how much the hous­ing bub­ble was dri­ven by too much bor­row­ing? Though financ­ing might be cheap and easy to get for extended peri­ods of time, there is not an infi­nite supply.

At its core, bor­row­ing is sim­ply a method of cash­ing in today on future earn­ings. The more we bor­row against future earn­ings, the less we have in the future.

Using bor­rowed funds to sub­si­dize unpro­duc­tive invest­ments only com­pounds and accel­er­ates wealth destruction.

Key­ne­sian poli­cies can be suc­cess­ful in cer­tain sit­u­a­tions and for lim­ited amounts of time, but they can­not be sus­tained infi­nitely. Bor­row­ing and spend­ing by the gov­ern­ment can help the econ­omy sur­vive a soft patch or decrease the depth of a reces­sion, but it does not fix the under­ly­ing cap­i­tal allo­ca­tion problem.

Key­ne­sian eco­nomic poli­cies are patches to eco­nomic prob­lems, not fixes. If extended for too long, they only make mat­ters worse.

Before the hous­ing bub­ble, the gov­ern­ment was lev­ered to the hilt. After the hous­ing bub­ble, con­sumers are also lev­ered to the hilt. Both are strug­gling to bal­ance their checkbooks.

So who is left to bail us out? Only two potential candidates: Amer­i­can cor­po­ra­tions and for­eign countries.

A quick sur­vey of the sta­tus of the other major eco­nomic pow­ers is not exactly inspir­ing. China is slow­ing growth to fight its infla­tion prob­lems. The Euro­pean Unions, well, they have their own prob­lems. Japan is not exactly pros­per­ing. In gen­eral, there are few, if any, global eco­nomic bright spots. None are large enough to bail out any­one.

There are many bright spots in cor­po­rate Amer­ica. Com­pa­nies like Apple (AAPL-very attrac­tive rat­ing), Google (GOOG-very attrac­tive rat­ing), Microsoft (MSFT-very attrac­tive rat­ing) and many oth­ers are as prof­itable as ever. Their returns on cap­i­tal rank among the very best in the world. They are shin­ing exam­ples of cap­i­tal real­iz­ing its high­est and best use. For the coun­try as a whole, cash flow returns on assets are near all-time highs. Much of the recent prof­its, how­ever, have come at the expense of the con­sumer as wages have grown much more slowly than profits.

Then, there are the banks. US banks recently enjoyed the largest bailout in the his­tory of the world. Fur­ther, their profit mar­gins have been sub­si­dized by sus­tained low inter­est rates. And yet, they are lend­ing lit­tle money.

Is the prob­lem that banks do not want to lend or that there are not enough borrowers?

I think the answer is both. Many banks are still car­ry­ing a great deal of toxic assets. With so much risk already on their bal­ance sheet, they can­not afford to take on more.

As for bor­row­ers, the uncer­tain tax, reg­u­la­tory and eco­nomic out­looks are not exactly entic­ing entre­pre­neurs, small and large busi­nesses to take risk.

To sum­ma­rize, there is no one left to bail us out this time.

So, what hap­pens next? We buckle down and face the long hard road to true, not arti­fi­cially sub­si­dized recovery.

We rec­og­nize facts:

We can­not spend more than what we make for­ever. Seems like an obvi­ous state­ment, but that is not how the United States has oper­ated over the past sev­eral years.

We have wasted lots of cap­i­tal by sub­si­diz­ing unpro­duc­tive investments.

We have delayed the process of cre­ative destruc­tion whereby unpro­duc­tive invest­ments are replaced by pro­duc­tive investments.

Because of our waste­ful­ness and the delay in cre­ative destruc­tion, much time is required to restore wealth back to the lev­els to which we have become accustomed.

We must rebuild dili­gently, ratio­nally and delib­er­ately to ensure cap­i­tal real­izes its high­est and best use.

Kick­ing the can down the road, Euro-style, only delays the inevitable and makes the prob­lem worse.

Even­tu­ally, we will be much bet­ter off than what we started.

In the mean­time, the stock mar­ket and eco­nomic activ­ity will con­tinue to suf­fer. No pain no gain.

 

 

Stock Market Slide Is the Latest Blow to the Middle ClassThe Daily Ticker  Peter Gorenstein Stocks resumed their decline on Wednesday -- the third big drop in the last five trading days. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 520 points, or 4.6%. The S&P 500 fell 4.4% to close at 1,121, while the Nasdaq was taken down more than 101 points to the end the day at 2,381.In other words, Tuesday's gains, in which the Dow jumped 430 points, are a distant memory.Stocks are on track for their worst monthly drop since after the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy in the fall of 2008. After making steady gains in their 401(k) plans since then, average Americans are once again falling further behind on their retirement goals. The recent drop in the market is making headlines, but as Aaron Task and the Breakout team discuss in this clip, it's by no means the only economic hardship facing the middle class -- it's just the latest. Here are some other headlines you might have missed while you were watching your portfolio shrink over the last few days.

HORRIFIC HOUSING MARKET

Existing home sales fell 2.8% in the second quarter compared to a year ago, according to the National Association of Realtors. The number of home sales is also off, falling 5.4% from the previous quarter and is down almost 13% compared to the sometime last year. At this rate the housing market will continue to be a drag on the economy.

BACKDOOR BAILOUT FOR BANKS

Meanwhile, as homeowner pain reaches new heights, it appears banks continue to receive favorable treatment from the government. The Wall Street Journal reports Fannie Mae -- essentially a government entity (that by the way continues to receive billions in taxpayer aid each quarter) -- just spent $500 million to buy the servicing rights to a Bank of America (BAC) portfolio of "seven million loans still causing the most problems." That's what they call a backdoor bailout.Speaking of Bank of America, the stock continued to mirror the pattern of steep sell-offs and furious rallies seen in the broader market. This time, shares of BofA were down 10.9% to $6.77. A conference call held by CEO Brian Moynihan with investors, led by Fairholme's Bruce Berkowitz, didn't help the bank's cause. According to a summary of the call in the WSJ, Moynihan pushed back against those who would question how he has performed while leading the company, and he said BofA would not part ways with brokerage firm Merrill Lynch. Additionally, he said there weren't "many days when I get up and think positively about the Countrywide transaction in 2008."BofA bought the big mortgage firm during the 2008 credit crisis, and it has been responsible for a gigantic financial drag on the firm in the time since.

FED'S FOLLY

The Federal Reserve on Tuesday said it will keep interest rates "exceptionally low" through the middle of 2013. That and the possibility of more quantitative easing may eventually reflate assets -- a good thing for stock portfolios. The problem is the Fed's reaction to the crisis has and will continue to do little to improve real economic conditions, such as stubbornly high unemployment, which remains at 9.1% more than two years after the financial crisis. And, for those able to save some money, the low interest rates aren't rewarding your bank accounts. Add it all up, and unfortunately there's little to feel good about.

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

ATF Chief Melson:Justice Department trying to shield officials (LATimes) Serrano

 

I believe him!

 I truly empathize with the ATF in terms of government cover-ups, notably by even the DOJ. Youll recognize some familiar names (ie., Alito, Trump, Freeh (Louis Freeh now has dual citizenship with Italy), and some familiar crimes (ie., drug money laundering, etc. real cash cow for govt ops, bribes, etc.). [Did you know this about the following ATF Agents who were probably viewed as loose ends: Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeahan & Conway LeBleu:   Died February 28, 1993 by gunfire at Waco. All four were examined by a pathologist and died from identical wounds to the left temple. All four had been body guards for Bill Clinton, three while campaigning for President and when he was Governor of Arkansas.They also were the ONLY 4 BATF agents killed at Waco. ]

Dear Sir:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computers browser) as per your offices request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which Ive installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named 112208opocoan). The (civil) RICO action (as youre aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBIs LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation Andrew Maloneys the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..

Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.

The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages:   [  Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File        Page 1                Page 2          ]

Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [   transcript in pertinent part -     http://albertpeia.com/crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf     ]

Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.],   Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

Five myths about the Dow What drives it up and down? Is it a good market barometer? (Washington Post) [ Yeah! This is a great topic which seems an age-old quandary manifesting in different forms at different times. Indeed, in my evening MBA program studies at NYU, GBA (MBA Finance, 1977) the ‘questions’ concerning the Dow from an investment perspective were in no short supply (ie., from not being representative of the market, to higher p/e multiples, to slower growth from mature companies, to higher prices per share on an absolute basis, etc.). When asked why the Dow, the Security Analysis Professor, Dr. Douglas Bellmore, an extremely successful analyst / investor / author on finance in his own right, and head of the research arm / department of an institutional wall street brokerage firm by day, would respond simply by saying, ‘ he wasn’t interested in ‘buying the market’ (cited were concerns of liquidity with his oft-repeated rhetorical quip, ‘sell … to whom?’, which was often problematic to the substantial downside then, particularly for Nasdaq / Over-the-counter’ issues which is far less problematic today with computer efficiency undreamed of then (though also now used for nefarious fraudulent purposes undreamed of then)[ I began my MBA thesis with him and completed same owing to his vacation in the summer, 1977, with the great, eloquent, and astute Economist / Professor, Dr. Robert Kavesh (‘Economic Forecasting’ Butler and Kavesh – I had his course of the same name as his book) since I was beginning law school evenings that fall. ] ( Interestingly, in the bond analysis portion of the course I asked whether you can and should rely on the rating companies, predominantly S&P. He paused, and said ‘that’s a good question’ – it was also the only time he said such of my questions – then responded affirmatively, ‘yes, you can rely on them’ (different time, different place – I’m sure his answer would have been substantially different today). The frauds on wall street et als should be criminally prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed!

Indeed, the market in terms of communicating anything must fall within the ambit of the term brain-damaged at best, insane at worst, with all the concomitant disabilities attendant thereto, including a penchant for criminal, fraudulent activities to obfuscate in self-interested fashion the damage attendant to their criminally insane, brain-damaged condition for their own gain to almost everyone elses detriment.  THE STOCK MARKET HAS LOST ITS MIND Bethany McLean in Slate Risk On! Do the Fed, computer trading, and a few hedge funds rule the market? That might explain why it's lost its mind. After the madness of last week and the rollercoaster at the beginning of this week, the stock market recovered from its Aug. 10 rout to bounce 423 points on Aug. 11. It was the fourth day in a row in which the index moved by more than 400 points, which has never happened before in history. As I write this, stock prices are leveling off, but the big swings may not be over. Has the market gone mad? Actually, yes....

I mean, if it isn’t, what could be? After all, this was long in the making and the pressures applied to preclude this long overdue downgrade were substantial. Yet, this mild slap on the wrist was at once, charitable and a gift inasmuch as reality warrants far worse.  8 More Reasons Why You Should Be Deeply Concerned That The U.S. Government Has Lost Its AAA Credit Rating The Economic Collapse ‘…  #8 The U.S. national debt continues to get worse by the day.  Just check out what economics professor Laurence J.

The amounts are insurmountable going forward. They point to Moody’s and Fitch; yet, let’s not kid ourselves, S&P is the ‘800 pound gorilla’ in this world among rating agencies and moody’s, fitch have substantially diminished themselves as entities consistent with their ‘mission and purpose’ and as well, their credibility. I mean, come on! Consider the pressure that was and continues to be applied. Moody’s and fitch, quite frankly, folded. China’s rating agency has already downgraded u.s. paper and they’re ‘holding’ (huge amounts of that u.s. junk); and hence, against their own interest. Wake up!

Forbes ‘we can’t call this a recovery. There’s no reason to celebrate when a job report was better than expected. Why? Because the expectation was abysmal to begin with.’ ‘Cisco Systems Inc’s quarterly results edged past Wall Street’s scaled-back expectations ...“They beat a low bar.

The Plan for The United States with Alex Jones

Prisonplanet.com | Alex runs down Sarkozys call to lock up people who dare surf extremist websites on the web.

[ Little nicky is so pathetic and a testament to how far france has fallen. Former ‘mossady’, this pro-zionist incompetent has really pulled france down, including his affront by ejecting his French wife in favor of the ‘experienced’ italian carla bruni, while midstream in public office no less. Like obama, he sounded like the ‘old biddies’ they are in plaintively expressing their displeasure with the bloodthirsty incompetent war-monger netanayahu (that ‘leave the microphone trick’). How pathetic for the world to have such failed leadership. The problem is, as with Galileo, Copernicus, etc., what if the ‘extremists’ are right? All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.--Arthur Schopenhauer  And, who determines what’s extreme? ] Obama: ‘If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.’ [ Yeah! He’d look just like any other nigger. And, don’t worry about the black vote, failed president wobama the b for b***s*** will get nearly 100% of the nigger vote, no matter what! Drudgereport:  Farrakhan Threatens 'Retaliation'… [ Retaliation? Can you imagine the number of blacks that would have to be retaliated against based upon the hushed reality of the prevalence of black on white crime? The blacks should be careful what they wish for in playing that game because the facts don’t break in their favor. ] ...

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

The reality is that blacks are an insoluble problem wherever they are. That’s not going to ever change; not make-shift/make-work jobs; not programs; not anything tried or to be tried; hence, they must be treated as exactly that – problems – before a solution can be derived and fashioned. ]

Obama Impeachment 2012

Kurt Nimmo and Alex Jones | A call to action and an effort to inform the public about the treason of Barack Obama.

We can only win by launching Impeach Obama 2012. Whether or not we fully impeach him, we are committed to rebuking these unconstitutional and criminal power grabs and are determined to take the case to the court of public opinion.

Alex Jones

Film director, producer, actor and writer Sean Stone has thrown his weight behind a resolution introduced in the House last month by North Carolina Republican Walter Jones. Resolution 107 states that should the president use offensive military force without the authorization of Congress that such an act would be an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor.

Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution reserves exclusively for Congress the power to declare war. Both Thomas Jefferson and James Madison argued that the power to declare war must reside in the legislative branch of government and the president will only act as the commander-in-chief and direct the war after it is declared by Congress.

The constitution supposes, what the history of all governments demonstrates, that the executive is the branch of power most interested in war, and most prone to it. It has accordingly with studied care vested the question of war in the legislature, Madison wrote.

In the video, Stone notes Obamas unconstitutional war on Libya was waged despite the fact that the United States was neither attacked, nor threatened for attack by the nation of Libya.

Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said during questioning by Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama that the Obama administration does not believe Congress has the exclusive right to declare war and that the Pentagon answers to the United Nations, not the people of the United States.

The Obama administration does not believe that the Congress has the exclusive power to declare war, Stone notes, and accordingly the president should be impeached.

Stone also mentions Obamas facilitation of the banker engineered 2008 bailout as an additiojnal reason he should be tried for High Crimes and Misdemeanors and impeached. Obamas efforts worked in favor of the consolidation of private banks, many of them in Europe.

There was no investment of any meaningful type in the physical economy, there was no protection of the American people, Sean explains. Rather, an illegal commitment made on behalf of private banking interests, to commit the American people to paying a debt that the American people did not accrue.

He rightly notes that Obamas actions represent the most clear violation of the principal of the general welfare of the people in the preamble of the Constitution of the United States.

In addition to setting the stage for the economic rape of the American people and waging illegal and unconstitutional wars, Obama has committed a number of other egregious violations of the Constitution.

Specifically, Obama violated the Constitutions Takings and Due Process Clauses when he bullied the secured creditors of automaker Chrysler into accepting 30 cents on the dollar while politically connected labor unions and preferential others received better deals.

In addition, the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill created the so-called Financial Protection Bureau and Financial Stability Oversight Council, bureaucratic monstrosities that are now engaged in unchecked and unconstitutional economic action without consulting Congress. The Dodd-Frank bill also further empowers the banksters preferred cartel, the Federal Reserve (which has engaged in unconstitutional activity for nearly a hundred years).

The Obamacare mandate is the most obvious violation. No list of President Obamas constitutional violations would be complete without including the requirement that every American purchase health insurance, on penalty of civil fine. The individual mandate is unprecedented and exceeds Congresss power to regulate interstate commerce. If it is allowed to stand, Congress will be able to impose any kind of economic mandate as part of any kind of national regulatory scheme. Fortunately, the Supreme Court has a chance to strike this down during its current term, writes Ilya Shapiro, a Senior Fellow in Constitutional Studies, Cato Institute.

Obama signed into law the NDAA with a provision allowing the military to indefinitely detain American citizens. He will forever be known as the president who signed indefinite detention without charge or trial into law, said the executive director of the ACLU, Anthony Romero.

Finally, Obama may be tried and impeached for signing a large number of executive orders. Article II of the Constitution provides the president with three options when presented with legislation do nothing, sign the bill, or veto it in its entirety.

Obamas use of signing statements has clearly shown his willingness to continue the George W. Bush legacy not only of torture and illegal detainment, but in the dangerous trend of de facto rule by executive fiat. Worse, such signing statements put in place a precedent for future presidents to follow or expand upon, writes Aaron Dykes.

Obama is definitely a renegade president in violation of the law. He is guilty of treason and must be brought up on formal charges. The House must introduce a resolution for impeachment and a trial must be held in the Senate…’

{ Im really constrained to interject my own direct experience with the FBI here; and, I must say I do so lamentably. If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the tough questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal drug ops (opsriiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You cant make this stuff up. I also dont believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. Im beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the federal (judicial) system who share the same employer; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared more fairly with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:

SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE DEBT LIMIT
Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

ATF Chief Melson:Justice Department trying to shield officials (LATimes) Serrano

 

I believe him!

 I truly empathize with the ATF in terms of government cover-ups, notably by even the DOJ. Youll recognize some familiar names (ie., Alito, Trump, Freeh (Louis Freeh now has dual citizenship with Italy), and some familiar crimes (ie., drug money laundering, etc. real cash cow for govt ops, bribes, etc.). [Did you know this about the following ATF Agents who were probably viewed as loose ends: Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeahan & Conway LeBleu:   Died February 28, 1993 by gunfire at Waco. All four were examined by a pathologist and died from identical wounds to the left temple. All four had been body guards for Bill Clinton, three while campaigning for President and when he was Governor of Arkansas.They also were the ONLY 4 BATF agents killed at Waco. ]

Dear Sir:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computers browser) as per your offices request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which Ive installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named 112208opocoan). The (civil) RICO action (as youre aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBIs LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation Andrew Maloneys the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..

Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.

The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages:   [  Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File        Page 1                Page 2          ]

Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [   transcript in pertinent part -     http://albertpeia.com/crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf    ]

Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.],   Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

Sincerely,

[ This is a reply to the Congresswoman’s query among others included.]

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change).

Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

 

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

America also leads in the illegal drug trade.  In fact, many researchers reveal that the war on drugs is only utilized to control and monopolize the illicit drug trade.  The US government has been caught multiple times shipping in cocaine [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvbdiWgwsA , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQNSoOX-dcw&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG1Id2qpSOE&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEUhpxeuP4&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyM43Sw2OVc&feature=related ] , colluding with certain cartels [ http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/08/does_mexican_drug_cartel_have_deal_with_us_government.html ] to control the industry, and now openly protects and transports opium from Afghanistan [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElEciFI0Pew ] .  In fact, Global Research points out that in 2001, “according to UN figures, opium production had fallen to 185 tons. Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [ http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world ] ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

65 Year Old Woman With A Gun Chases Off 5 Armed Robbers

http://endoftheamericandream.com

 

http://albertpeia.com/65yroldwomanwithgunchasesoff5armedblackrobbers.htm

In Garden Grove, California the other day, a 65 year old woman with a gun chased 5 armed criminals out of her jewelry store.  The video of this amazing incident (posted below) is quite funny, but it also demonstrates a very serious point.  The streets of many of our largest cities are slowly but surely being transformed into a living hell as our society rots from the inside out.  The criminals are always going to have plenty of guns.  If we have no way to defend ourselves, then many of us will be at the mercy of the criminals.  For example, imagine what would have happened if those 5 armed robbers had invaded her home at night?  Without a gun, what could that 65 year old woman have done?  The best she could hope for is that the criminals would take whatever they wanted and would not do any violence to her or to her family.  Of course the police would show up later and "take a report", but the police would not be able to undo any of the damage that the crooks had already done.  This is especially true when it comes to violence against women.  You can always replace your possessions, but you can never undo a sexual assault or a rape.  America is being absolutely overrun by psychos these days, and if you don't have a gun how in the world are you going to keep a pack of criminals from having their way with you or with members of your family?  I realize that is a very disturbing thing to think about, but these are dark times that we are living in.  As society continues to fall apart we are going to see home invasions because more twisted and more horrifying than ever before…’

NRA LaPierre: Hollywood, media, music, violent videos cause culture of violence... { There is indeed a culture of violence in america; that, along with a celibratory attitude toward crime and criminals generally (and of course, cowardice in the face of criminality, which didnt apply to the Newton, CT  tragic scenario), along with the reality that crime in america pays, and pays well, and is largely protected at the highest levels. That said, I still oppose any and all censorship (a slippery slope in a country now as this, best not tread on) to the extent thats inferred from LaPierres cogent speech; though I believe it a stretch for anyone to have reasonably gleaned that from his words so eloquently put. I read the text of his entire speech as he made it. I believe he was correct in every significant respect; importantly, and simply put, bad guys (criminals) with guns can only be stopped by good guys with guns. Moreover, I would add that criminals will always have (and have access to getting) guns. To strip the good, the innocents of their like defense against same is insanity. I hearken back to and reiterate the (famed NRA truism and) reality that its people that kill people and the numerous examples he gave of armed defense the only real, true protection for those in need, as ie., children, etc., of protection from the nefarious elements of our increasingly less than civilized society. }  NRAs Wrongheaded Response to Sandy Hook Violence Infowars.com | NRA Executive Vice President calls for more cops in schools and a government database of the mentally ill.  { The following rebuttal from Infowars is not entirely unreasonable but I believe relies too much on the presumption of sanity among the american masses: ‘…LaPierre also announced a NRA model security program of armed volunteers to guard schools. He said Rep. Asa Hutchison, R-Ark., will lead the program for the lobbying organization. While the idea of armed citizen volunteers protecting schools is reasonable, the call for adding more police is not. The presence of police in public schools has created a number of problems from tasering and handcuffing students to shooting them to death in addition to fostering a prison-like environment [if the shoe fits]. As for creating a government database of people suffering from mental illness and then presumably denying them Second Amendment rights, this is a dangerous idea begging for government abuse [as was so in the former communist soviet union of old]. If the state is allowed to determine what mental illness is and who suffers from it, large numbers of people will undoubtedly have their right to own firearms denied (like veterans suffering from PTSD are denied their rights). It looks like the NRA is merely passing the buck on this issue and once again relying on government to devise solutions [this is an unfair criticism by infowars inasmuch as the NRA are not elected officials although, truth be told, as evidenced in the past election, u.s. elections are a total joke and are indeed rigged then there were as well the unprecedented terrorist threats of violence/rioting by the typically uncivilized niggers ( note that wobama, a nigger himself, registered no objection to those threats and intimidation the uncivilized niggers having their way now with purported civilized institutions dont forget the crime stats wherein niggers are the undisputed leaders by far ) as well as voter fraud, and incumbents did not want to rock their boat, aka the uss titanic ]. The solution to public school violence is really quite simple citizens must be fully empowered to exercise the right to self-protection and the protection of their families (defense is a natural right that has nothing to do with the real reason the Second Amendment was established). This right to self-protection cannot be denied by gun free zones that are in essence self-defense free zones…’ }

India reports 25 rapes in week following Delhi gangrape IBNLive  { See, as per the californication amerikan jurisprudential scholar/jurist/judge, these 25 girls may not have realized it, but, they really wanted it … you know, otherwise, as per the californication jurisprudential scholar/jurist/judge these subconsciously consensual encounters could not have happened because the body would ‘just say no’ to such liasons if nonconsensual. There you go! … american jurisprudence has done it again as they guide us through those dark, shadowy, murky areas of the law that would otherwise label violent criminal rapists as violent criminal rapists.  (We’re talking India here; but, violent rape among a plethora of other substantial crimes including murder, huge protected ie., wall street, etc., frauds, armed robberies, etc., are rampant in pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america.)  India gang-rape suspects to face murder charges (CBS/AP) NEW DELHI - Indian police charged six men with murder on Saturday, hours after a woman who was gang-raped and beaten on a bus in New Delhi nearly two weeks ago died in a Singapore hospital. { Clearly, says the california-american jurist/jurisprudential scholar, this girl was not a victim but really ‘wanted it’ and while she may have been screaming/saying ‘no’, she really meant ‘yes’ since otherwise her body wouldn’t have permitted that rape (and beating) to happen. See … now that’s why we have professionally educated/trained judges … to ‘split the pubic hairs’, so to speak … (that judge should be forced to step down)} Calif. judge says a victims' bodies can prevent rape CBS News SANTA ANA, Calif. A Southern California judge is being publicly admonished for saying a rape victim "didn't put up a fight" during her assault and that if someone doesn't want sexual intercourse, the body "will not permit that to happen.” { Wow! Spoken like a true california american jurist. Well, with violent rapes on the rise along with other serious violent among other crimes in america and california particularly, and elections being what they are, ‘might as well go with the flow’ might have been the ratio-decedendi. After all, most violent criminals in america are closet pacifists/peace corp members and if the body says yes or no but the mind subconsciously says yes, only then will a rape happen (NOT!); and, no violent rapist would let a LIVE/CONSCIOUS rape-resistor get in the way of implicit consensual rape. Wow! I initially was going to quip, ‘he doesn’t get out much’; but, maybe he just ‘gets out too much’. Wow! What more can anyone say!

FLASHBACK: Eyewitness to OBL Raid Saw Helicopter Explode (TRANSCRIPT) [ As indicated on this albertpeia.com website, I didn’t buy the administration’s desperate and politically opportunist Osama event and still don’t buy it; and further, I believe this! ]Veterans Today | TRANSCRIPT of critical interview with Pakistani eyewitness to Bin Laden raid. Is this the key to SEAL Team 6′s demise?

“Bin Laden” Heroes Probably Murderered to Keep Them Quiet  Gordon Duff  Veterans Today August 7, 2011 | Some Possibly Killed in Abbottabad Helicopter Crash Months Before. [ As indicated on this albertpeia.com website, I didn’t buy the administration’s desperate and politically opportunist Osama event and still don’t buy it; and further, I believe this! ] Today 31 NATO troops, 20 of them Navy Seals from the Osama bin Laden operation died in what is reported as a helicopter crash in Afghanistan.

The chance of this story being true is almost nil. The chances of this being a staged coverup is over 80%. We believe these people were murdered to silence them. This is why.

We have solid information on two areas:

1. Osama bin Laden died in 2001 as an active CIA employee and his body was recovered in Afghanistan and taken to the sand box. We were told it was frozen. We have so much verification from this, CIA, ISI, US military and top officials. I have a direct confirmation from Bin Ladens CIA handler who I grilled mercilessly on this.

2. The Abbottabad operation involved numerous American deaths, witnessed, bodies all over, a helicopter crash. (suppressed translated TV interview below) These bodies were recovered by land vehicle from Islamabad and there was NO successful bin Laden operation of any kind. There was and has been a CIA safe house in Abbotabad where terror suspects were stored for years.

This gave the US several areas of severe vulnerability. Generally, Navy Seals are the best people in the world at keeping their mouths shut, these are real team players, as the term Seal Team belies.

We at VT were informed that the bin Laden operation was staged at this time, a theatrical farce, to cover the exit of Secretary Gates, the move by former CIA Director Leon Panetta into the DOD as Secretary of Defense and to stem any heroic claims by new CIA Director Petraeus of killing the long dead Osama bin Laden, the long frozen CIA operative.

Petraeus is a possible presidential contender and had to be denied this gift from heaven, a fast track to the oval office for sure.

Again, I remind you, I went over specific meetings on bin Laden with his handlers, getting every last detail. I have watched what has gone on, the continuing need to vilify a long dead top CIA operative to provide residual cover for the Bush administration

The reason? Bush and his cronies are all facing charges of war crimes, not just in minor jurisdictions but heading for the ICC, putting them on the dock with Gaddafi ( a far less harmful character).

As for the timing of this incident? This we will work on. What we can easily surmise is that some of the dead have been dead since their bodies were taken away from the helicopter crash site in Abbotabad.

Who would order such a thing? We are going to have to wait but we are going to find out. However, we expected this, the timing is exactly as predicted. Read full article }

U.S. House of Representatives Shamefully Passes CISPA

You may have heard the rumors: key staffers on the Hill say that the Senate is unlikely to take up CISPA, even though it passed the House. But we're not out of the woods yet. The Senate is going to be taking up some kind of cybersecurity legislation. We need to make sure it's not the twin of CISPA, which would allow companies to bypass all existing privacy law to spy on communications and pass sensitive user data to the government. Now's the time to let your senator know that we won't tolerate privacy-killing legislation under CISPA or any other name. Users can speak out against the bill through our action center.

California's New Open Access Bill

A new initiative -- the California Taxpayer Access to Publicly Funded Research Act (AB 690) -- would give the public access to hundreds of millions of dollars worth of research funded by California residents. Right now, universities and research institutions are forced to pay exorbitant amounts for knowledge they helped create -- and that you helped underwrite. This bill would help fix that. Californians can take action here.

U.S. Drone Test Sites Must Include Stronger Privacy Protections

The Federal Aviation Administration's proposed privacy requirements for domestic drone test sites are not robust enough to protect the public, EFF argues in its official comments filed with the agency this week. Staff Attorney Jennifer Lynch outlines five key recommendations to safeguard privacy and civil liberties while allowing unmanned-aerial-system operators to explore the potentials of this emerging technology.

We did it! Hours ago, a federal judge ordered the FBI to stop issuing spying orders, called national security letters (NSLs), which forced companies to disclose customer data while simultaneously censoring them from discussing the order with the press or public. It's a landmark ruling that strikes at one of the most domineering powers amplified by the infamous USA PATRIOT Act.

The government will likely file an appeal. But EFF is invigorated by this victory and plans to battle every step of the way. In the words of EFF Senior Staff Attorney Matt Zimmerman: "The public has long known that it is inappropriate for the government to hide its questionable NSL practices behind a veil of secrecy. The court has confirmed that."

We couldn't have done this without dedicated supporters who join us in challenging injustice and overreach. EFF members are the backbone of our operation—please join us in celebrating this victory by donating to EFF!

Its now clear: Obama intends to use drone strikes to kill American journalists and political enemies

Mike Adams | President Obama plans to use military drones in the skies over the United States to assassinate journalists, patriots and critics of his administration. ‘…Front and center in this pattern of evidence is the 16-page memo that was just released by Obama’s lawyers in the Department of Justice. This memo puts forth a “legal justification” for the President to order the drone assassination of any American citizen he names — anytime, anywhere, for any reason. This new power claimed by the President has no basis in federal law or the Constitution. It is an invented power of absolute tyranny that puts the power to decide who lives and who dies in the hands of one man. This document essentially legalizes the President acting as a serial murderer…’

The reality is that at some point the coverup for this failed president by adopting failed policies to obscure/hide his failed presidency must end. The reality is that this guy just can’t ‘cut the mustard’.  The reality is that this guy, O, is total bull s**t and an unmitigated failure by any criteria by which you can measure a presidency (including his own as set forth in his last campaign…you know, that deficit thing that he was going to cut by half by the end of his first term but instead increased more than all the presidents combined! Then there were all those prosecutions to come of the huge wall street frauds, still extant by way of legislated FASB Rule change and now marked to anything, that never happened in fact.)  (REPORT: Obama's golf weekend with Tiger cost as much as 341 furloughed federal workers...  ) Krauthammer: Obama Only Left Out "Pestilence, Earthquake, Brimstone And Plague" In Sequester Warning CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: Well, they know that they really overshot it. It was the president himself. He could have had surrogates out there. But you know, the only thing left out of his litany of catastrophe was pestilence, earthquake, brimstone and plague. I mean it’s actually hilarious that he goes through all of this. And now all of the sudden, having discovered that the Republicans aren't going to budge and that he hasn't won the propaganda war, all of the sudden it's a tumble down, it's not a cliff. And it is tumble down and I think the Republicans have to be armed. I think they have the upper hand to date because of the scare tactics. But if they want to stay ahead of the game, they got to do two things. They have to emphasize that they are offering the president authority over how the spending cuts are done. The Senate has rejected it. The president has said he would not accept it, he'd exercise a veto. They have to explain, if the president says we have to do 'x,' we have to cut the TSA, we have to curtail meat inspection, they have to say everyday that we've offered the president utter discretion on how to spend the money and he chooses that it should be the meat inspection and not the consultants and the wasteful meetings that they have in expensive hotels. And secondly, the Republicans ought to highlight every day all of these useless, obsolete or idiotic stuff happening in the federal government. It isn’t hard to find. Every year, Sen. Coburn compiles a list of all this waste and stuff, it’s all out there. What you do is an example a day, every day and say to the administration why didn’t you cut x, which is laughable? And instead, you cut police or teachers. { Yeah … I mean, how quickly wobama changes tune and message … the message being ultimately, true to form and his history … obama’s full of s**t!

CISPA, the Privacy-Invading Cybersecurity Spying Bill, is Back in Congress

It's official: CISPA, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, has been reintroduced in the House of Representatives. It's the contentious bill that would provide a poorly-defined "cybersecurity" exception to existing privacy law. CISPA offers broad immunities to companies who choose to share data with government agencies -- including the private communications of users -- in the name of cybersecurity. It also creates avenues for companies to share data with any federal agencies, including military intelligence agencies like the National Security Agency.

EFF is adamantly opposed to CISPA. Join us in calling on Congress to stop this and any other privacy-invasive cybersecurity legislation.

New Bill Helps Expand Public Access to Scientific Knowledge

Internet users around the world got a Valentine's Day present last week in the form of new legislation that requires U.S. government agencies to improve public access to federally funded research. Under the bill's proposal, agencies like the National Science Foundation, which invests millions of taxpayer dollars in scientific research every year, must design and implement a plan to facilitate public access to -- and robust reuse of -- the results of that investment.

Rebooting Computer Crime Law: The Punishment Should Fit the Crime

The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act's broad language and draconian penalty scheme allows overreaching prosecutors to abuse their discretion. This can turn minor incidents with no real harm into serious criminal prosecutions, with the threat of long prison sentences and the consequences that go along with a felony conviction -- like not being able to vote. Computer crime can be serious and law enforcement should properly investigate and prosecute those who use computers to cause financial harm and violate the privacy of others. But at the same time, punishments should fit crimes.

Fix Computer Crime Law in Aaron Swartz's Memory

Since the tragic death of Aaron Swartz, people are starting to focus on the draconian U.S. computer crime laws that were misused in his prosecution. While we have been struggling with problems in the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) for years, this new attention means we may be able to get meaningful reform -- but not without a great deal of public support. Important efforts, like Rep. Zoe Lofgren's proposed "Aaron's Law," do not go far enough. We've outlined the three most critical fixes that the CFAA needs, and put together a page where you can contact your legislators to tell them that any proposed solution needs to address all three of these points. Please take action today.

Is It Illegal To Unlock a Phone? The Situation is Better -- and Worse -- Than You Think

Legal protection for people who unlock their mobile phones for use on other networks expired last weekend. According to the claims of major U.S. wireless carriers, unlocking a phone bought after January 26 without your carrier's permission violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act whether the phone is under contract or not. In a way, this is not as bad as it sounds. In other ways, it's even worse.

Facebook Graph Search: Privacy Control You Still Don't Have

Facebook's Graph Search has certainly caused quite a stir since it was first announced two weeks ago.

Lenz v. Universal: This Baby May Be Dancing To Trial

After years of litigation, it appears Stephanie Lenz may have a chance to tell her story to a jury. Back in 2007, youll remember, she posted a video to YouTube of her son dancing and running around with Prince's Let's Go Crazy playing in the background. Now Judge Jeremy Fogel has issued a ruling in the case that has sent contradictory signals on the future of fair use under the DMCA.

Twitter's New Transparency Report Shows Increase in Government Demands, Sheds Light on Copyright Takedowns

Twitter has released its second semi-annual transparency report, which details every user data demand, censorship order, and copyright takedown request that the micro-blogging site received in the second half of 2012. As with Google's recent transparency report, there was a clear increase in government demands for user data, with the United States leading by far.

A Victory for Colombia: Constitutional Court Strikes Down Draconian Copyright Expansion Bill

Good news from Colombia, where the Constitutional Court has struck down a sweeping copyright enforcement law because Congress had fast tracked the bill and overstepped various legislative procedures. The Court also ruled on the constitutionality of the law itself, overruling provisions against the retransmission of TV content and signals over the Internet as well as its language on technological protection measures.

A Year After SOPA, A Look At The Next Five Battles For Internet Freedom

One year ago this month, Internet users of all ages, races, and political stripes participated in the largest protest in Internet history. Congress was flooded with millions of emails and phone calls to demand they drop the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)a dangerous bill that would have allowed corporations and the govenrment to censor large parts of the Web. But the price of freedom is eternal vigilance, and the fight for Internet freedom continues. Heres a look at the top five issues SOPA activists should focus on next.

Though the FBI wont release the memos, we do have some information from other sources on the surveillance techniques federal agents are already using.

The question is not only whether its there (I doubt it!), not only whether whats there has been displaced (stolen) and supplanted with tungsten gold plate (at best); but, even assuming arguendo it is still there (doubtful), given the undeniable inherent american proclivity for fraud and theft, whether the thieving american frauds will interpose some spurious pretext to preclude if not exclude the possibility of return (the story of americas foreign and domestic policies in a nutshell). One really has to wonder as to the soundness and rationality of Germanys decision in answering, why fraudulent america and not the renown, trustworthy and reputable Swiss Banks for storing their gold. } Everything the Bundesbank does is close to perfection.

Government and Big Banks Joined Forces to Violently Crush Peaceful Protests Posted by: George Washington Post date: 12/31/2012 - Mussolini Would Call It Fascism

 

US 3D Diplomacy of Domination Doctrine: Democracy, Dollars and Drugs  RT.com  US troops are set to leave Afghanistan in 2014, but an unidentified number will stay behind.  This is an open-ended occupation that, combined with a pernicious drug war, constitutes a clear and present danger to Afghan, regional and global security.

Heres the full transcript of a Q&A session where I fielded questions from rambunctious Iranian journalist Kourosh Ziabari on US adventurism in Afghanistan.

Kourosh Ziabari:What do you think about the US-Afghanistan Strategic Partnership Agreement? Will this agreement pave the way for the continuation of US presence in Afghanistan after the troops withdrawal of 2014? Wont such an agreement be detrimental to the interests and security of Afghanistan?

Evgeny Kruschev: Well, if the American mentors themselves consider the Afghan army and police force a joke, and are pretty outspoken about the opium poppy puppet regime they hate but have to bolster, what kind of partnership are you talking about?

The Afghan/American security misalliance is a livid example of smoldering antagonism, punctuated by point-blank green-on-blue stings; therefore by default any agreement between master and servant would be unilaterally enforced or violated at the whim of the overlord, notwithstanding the lofty legal verbiage committed to paper.

It is not this or the follow-up SOFA, Status of Forces Agreement between Washington & Kabul, which per se is detrimental to the future of Afghanistan.

KZ: There are reports indicating that since the American invasion of Afghanistan in 2003, the cultivation of opium has increased dramatically and the United States hasn't taken any major steps to fight the drug trade in the war-torn country. You've written on this extensively. Would you please explain more about that? Is it a large-scale US policy to condone the rise of drug production?

EK: Purportedly, the White House, whatever its political coloration, has been on the record against narcotics at home and abroad. The grim reality is the much-touted US War on Drugs is agitprop cover for a US drug war on us, worldwide.

Historically, Washingtons political, intelligence and military interference Southeast Asia, South America, the Balkans and Africa has been followed by an explosion of narco-production.

The United States doesnt condone narcotics. It promotes drug production and consumption as a quintessential part of its undeclared 3D Diplomacy democracy, dollars and drugs to penetrate, corrupt and manipulate countries from within.

Afghanistan is just the latest and the most glaring case study of grisly symbiosis and synergy between the US boot print and local drug lords, which has transformed the country into American narco-reservation with more than 90 percent of the opium and cannabis market share, quietly killing 100,000 annually without any outrage in the mainstream media.

KZ: Where is the war in Afghanistan heading? Every day, we hear of more American and NATO troops being killed in bomb blasts along with more drone attacks on unarmed civilians, bringing destruction to a war-torn country that needs dozens of years to reconstruct its infrastructure. What's your perspective on that?

EK: What you postulated in the question the war in Afghanistan deserves a closer examination because all too often its misperceived as a vanguard of American GWAT, Global War on Terror.

Since 9/11, neither the White House nor the US Congress has declared any hostilities against any adversary anywhere. So in legal terms, America is not at war with anybody, including a smorgasbord of antigovernment elements in Afghanistan. However, its blatantly obvious that America is neither at peace with Afghanistan, its neighbors or the Muslim world at large.

In military terms, the US occupation of Afghanistan OED, Operation Enduring Freedom is a type of unconventional mission, however impossible, which is a subdivision of asymmetrical warfare.

The most unconventional thing about this Operation Enduring Opium is to preserve and protect narco-democracy in Afghanistan under the disguise of the counterterrorism and counterinsurgency dog and pony show, while sponsoring and schmoozing with the frenemy and sometimes even shooting at them along both sides of the Duran Line.

On the other side, the American mission in Afghanistan constitutes an undeclared war against global security and stability where opium has been utilized as a hidden WMD, a weapon of mass destruction and distraction to advance chaos management strategy.

As for US KIA & MIA in Afghanistan, its just a drop in the bucket compared to the domestic homicide rate and the Pentagons rape and suicide body count. In a sense, its a bargain: American blood and treasure for the 3D Diplomacy of Domination Doctrine.

Until Afghans sober up from American greed is good values, and switch from war and drug profiteering to soul-searching, they will remain low-maintenance narco-slaves and mules on the US reservation, deprived of faith and national self-identity; fighting for democracy, dollars and drugs.

KZ: Do you agree with this American assumption that the Afghan National Army is incapable of providing security for the country without a US presence? Is it a good justification for the continuation of the military presence of the United States in Afghanistan?

EK: If would be unfair to present the US stance on Afghanistan as an undisputed consensus, because there has been no unanimity of views between the US military, intel and diplomatic communities on Afghan affairs, including operational readiness of the  ANSF, Afghan National Security Force. Whatever the White Houses assumptions on the issue, it cuts both ways.

On the one side, under US/NATO guidance, ANSF is unwilling and unable to take full responsibility and provide security and stability for the country. On the other side, the US has stubbornly refused the reality check that after having spent billions of dollars, the Pentagon is in fact training and financing the enemy: The current ANSAF is the future auxiliary force for the Taliban, and the spiraling trend of the green-on-blue attacks is a harbinger of things to come.

Yes, for the US its a self-defeating approach to continue to train the Afghan Army and police, but paradoxically, this pseudo strategy offers a cynical excuse for a permanent US residual force and the occupation of Afghanistan.

KZ: Would you please tell us more about the Red Team Study, which investigated the mutual perceptions of the Afghanistan army soldiers and the NATO coalition forces in Afghanistan? It seems that they are not much friendly toward each other and vent different grievances toward each other. Whats your take on that?

EK: Since September, I have posted a sequel on Afghan/American military and security partnership, based on the first Pentagon Red Team Study on the subject, which was foolishly reclassified after the embarrassing findings had already been spilled into the public domain.

Obviously, theres no love lost between Afghan green and American blue forces, but the situation is much worse than just a lack of friendship and camaraderie between alien and indigenous partners.

The title of the report defines the problem as A crisis of trust and cultural incompatibility; I call it a bloody credibility gap and Afghan hatred vs. American disgust.

The initial idea behind the Red Team studies at the Pentagon was to play devils advocate for the established policies and procedures, this time for the US training mission in Afghanistan. To the dismay and horror of top brass, this Red Team finding has accidentally revealed the main legacy of the US occupation top-down, across-the-board institutionalized corruption, fueled by drug production in the host country.

However, the author came perilously close to the inevitable self-incriminating conclusion: It is nigh-impossible to advocate devils design and deleterious deeds behind Americas pernicious policy in Afghanistan.

NRA LaPierre: Hollywood, media, music, violent videos cause culture of violence... { There is indeed a culture of violence in america; that, along with a celibratory attitude toward crime and criminals generally (and of course, cowardice in the face of criminality, which didn’t apply to the Newtown, CT  tragic scenario), along with the reality that crime in america pays, and pays well, and is largely protected at the highest levels. That said, I still oppose any and all censorship (a ‘slippery slope’ in a country now as this, best not tread on) to the extent that’s inferred from LaPierre’s cogent speech; though I believe it a stretch for anyone to have reasonably gleaned that from his words so eloquently put. I read the text of his entire speech as he made it. I believe he was correct in every significant respect; importantly, and simply put, ‘bad guys (criminals) with guns can only be stopped by good guys with guns’. Moreover, I would add that criminals will always have (and have access to getting) guns. To strip the good, the innocents of their like defense against same is insanity. I hearken back to and reiterate the (famed NRA truism and) reality that it’s ‘people that kill people’ and the numerous examples he gave of armed defense the only real, true protection for those in need, as ie., children, etc., of protection from the nefarious elements of our increasingly less than civilized society. }  NRA’s Wrongheaded Response to Sandy Hook Violence Infowars.com | NRA Executive Vice President calls for more cops in schools and a government database of the mentally ill.  { The following ‘rebuttal’ from Infowars is not entirely unreasonable but I believe relies too much on the presumption of sanity among the american masses: ‘…LaPierre also announced a NRA model security program of armed volunteers to guard schools. He said Rep. Asa Hutchison, R-Ark., will lead the program for the lobbying organization. While the idea of armed citizen volunteers protecting schools is reasonable, the call for adding more police is not. The presence of police in public schools has created a number of problems – from tasering and handcuffing students to shooting them to death – in addition to fostering a prison-like environment [if the ‘shoe fits’]. As for creating a government database of people suffering from mental illness and then presumably denying them Second Amendment rights, this is a dangerous idea begging for government abuse [as was so in the former communist soviet union of old]. If the state is allowed to determine what mental illness is and who suffers from it, large numbers of people will undoubtedly have their right to own firearms denied (like veterans suffering from PTSD are denied their rights). It looks like the NRA is merely passing the buck on this issue and once again relying on government to devise solutions [this is an unfair criticism by infowars inasmuch as the NRA are not elected officials although, truth be told, as evidenced in the past election, u.s. elections are a total joke and are indeed ‘rigged’ – then there were as well the unprecedented terrorist threats of violence/rioting by the typically uncivilized niggers ( note that wobama, a nigger himself, registered no objection to those threats and intimidation – the uncivilized niggers having their way now with purported ‘civilized institutions’ – don’t forget the crime stats wherein niggers are the undisputed leaders by far ) as well as voter fraud, and incumbents did not want to rock their boat, aka ‘the uss titanic’ ]. The solution to public school violence is really quite simple – citizens must be fully empowered to exercise the right to self-protection and the protection of their families (defense is a natural right that has nothing to do with the real reason the Second Amendment was established). This right to self-protection cannot be denied by “gun free zones” that are in essence self-defense free zones…’ }

EFF: In our 626th issue:

Deep Dive: ECPA and the Future of Electronic Privacy

In most issues of EFFector, we give an overview of all the work we're doing at EFF right now. Today, we're trying something new: doing a deep dive into a single issue. If our readers find this valuable, we'll try to give you an EFFector Deep Dive every few months.

Yesterday was a watershed moment in the fight for electronic privacy: the Senate Judiciary Committee overwhelmingly passed an amendment that mandates the government get a probable cause warrant before reading our emails. The battle isn't over -- the reform, championed by Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), still needs to pass the rest of the Senate and the House, and be signed by the President to become a law. But yesterday, thanks to thousands of people speaking out, we were able to begin the process of overhauling our archaic privacy laws into alignment with modern technology.

It was a big win for us, even if it was only the first step in the process of reforming privacy law to keep the government out of our inboxes. So we're dedicating this EFFector to the battle to reform outdated privacy law: what the government can get, what the law ought to be, and what we're doing to fix the gaping loopholes that leave users vulnerable to government snooping.

The Fourth Amendment and Electronic Privacy

The Fourth Amendment protects us from unreasonable government searches and seizures. In practical terms, this means that law enforcement has to get a warrant -- demonstrating to a judge that it has probable cause to believe it will find evidence of a crime -- in order to search a place or seize an item. In deciding whether the Fourth Amendment applies, courts always look to see whether people have both a subjective expectation of privacy in the place to be searched, and whether society would recognize that expectation of privacy as reasonable. The Supreme Court made this point clear in a landmark 1967 case, Katz v. United States, when it ruled that a warrantless wiretap of a public payphone violated the Fourth Amendment.

The Third Party Doctrine, or How the Supreme Court Got Us Into This Mess

In 1979, the Supreme Court created a crack in our Fourth Amendment protections. In Smith v. Maryland, the Court ruled that the Fourth Amendment didn't protect the privacy of the numbers we dialed on our phones because we had voluntarily shared those numbers with the phone company when we dialed them. This principle -- known as the Third Party Doctrine -- basically suggests that when we share data with a communications service provider like a telephone company or an email provider, we know our data is being handed to someone else and so we can't reasonably expect it to be private anymore.

The government took this small opening created by Smith v. Maryland and blew it wide open. It argued that this narrow 1979 decision about phone dialing applied to the vast amount of data we now share with online service providers -- everything from email to cell phone location records to social media. This is bogus and dangerous. When we hand an email message to Gmail to deliver on our behalf, we do so with an intention that our private communications will be respected and kept in strict confidence, and that no human being or computer will review the message other than the intended recipient. But the government argues that because we handed our communications to a service provider, the Fourth Amendment doesn't require them to get a warrant before snooping around our inbox.

Luckily, the courts are beginning to agree with us. In a leading case where EFF participated as amicus,
United States v. Warshak, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with us that people had a reasonable expectation of privacy in their email, even if it is stored with a service provider, and therefore the government needed a search warrant to access it. And in the recent Supreme Court case, United States v. Jones, Justice Sotomayor said that she thought the Third Party Doctrine was outdated, while she and four other Justices -- including Justice Alito -- raised concerns about the information gathered by our cellphones.

The Eighties Were Good for a Lot of Things -- But Not Sustainable Email Privacy Law

It's not just the Constitution, however. Congress has made clear that certain forms of data are protected by federal statute as well. Following the Katz decision, Congress passed the Wiretap Act in 1968, supplementing the strong Fourth Amendment privacy protections in phone conversations by enacting a comprehensive set of federal statutes. These statutes were designed to ensure that law enforcement has a compelling reason before intercepting phone calls.

And as electronic communication started to become more prevalent, Congress passed the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) in 1986 that somewhat improved the privacy rights around certain electronic communications. But as it reflects the technology of 1986, ECPA has aged poorly. It doesn't address documents stored in the cloud, information revealing our personal associations, or the vast quantities of location data our mobile devices collect on us everyday. And, as a result of loopholes in the law, the Department of Justice, citing ECPA, has argued that it has a right to access emails without a warrant as soon as they are 180 days old, or have been opened and left on the server.

We think that 180-day limit and a distinction between opened and unopened email is arbitrary and wrong. As the Washington Post said in an editorial earlier this week, "If you left a letter on your desk for 180 days, you wouldn't imagine that the police could then swoop in and read it without your permission, or a judge's."

That's why this week's vote was so important: it was a critical first step in updating ECPA to evolve with the modern technologies we use today, and to close archaic loopholes that give government too much access with not enough judicial oversight.

What EFF and Activists Like You Are Doing

We're taking a two-prong approach.

First, we're fighting for the Fourth Amendment in the courts. We practice impact litigation, taking on clients pro-bono in cases where we believe we can create positive legal precedent around digital privacy and government surveillance. We also submit amicus briefs in cases where we don't have a direct client, such as in the Warshak and Jones cases noted above. In Warshak we argued that the government could only access emails stored on an ISP with a search warrant, notwithstanding the third party doctrine. And in Jones, we argued the government's attachment of a GPS tracking device to a car for 28 days was a Fourth Amendment "search," meaning a warrant was required. The Court agreed with us in both cases, and as a result privacy protections are stronger now than in the past. And we've filed many more amicus briefs this past year, arguing for a search warrant requirement in cases involving
cell phone location records [PDF], GPS devices, and home video surveillance.

Second, we're creating a movement of engaged Internet users and rallying them to demand the government stay out of our email. Yesterday's win was a result of the tens of thousands of concerned individuals who signed our petition to Congress calling for ECPA reform and who spoke out in other ways. We're also teaming up with advocacy groups, web companies, start-ups, and venture capitalists in demanding ECPA reform through the Digital Due Process coalition. And we recently joined other advocacy groups in launching
VanishingRights.com.

What aren't we doing? Compromising. Unfortunately often the pressure in DC inside politics is to trade off one important right against another. We don't think that's EFF's role. Instead, we're advocating for what's best for the Internet and Internet users, and while we are flexible, we aren't willing to horse trade with your privacy and due process.

Dear Albert,

We have emailed you twice before about VanishingRights.com and the opportunity we have to speak out and demand that Congress update a 1986 privacy law. Since you live in a state with a senator on the Senate Judiciary Committee, we are emailing you one last time to ask that you please take a moment to contact your senators about this issue!

This Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee is considering an update to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act to ensure our email and online data finally receive the same privacy protections from government access as postal mail and phone calls.

However, Sen. Grassley of Iowa is pushing a terrible amendment to allow government agencies to read our email without a warrant. This would make our privacy situation WORSE, not better. Grassleys amendment would give government agencies like the SEC and IRS even more access to our emails and private data.

Please go to VanishingRights.com to tell your senators you oppose Grassley's amendment. Urge them to support warrants for email.

Better yet, get on the phone and call your senators! Use the phone numbers and the simple script below if youre not sure what to say.

Thanks so much. This issue is gaining a lot of momentum and our coalition now includes over a dozen groups from across the political spectrum including the ACLU and the American Library Association. Please add your voice to the mix by calling or emailing your senators today!

Thanks again!

Hello, my name is ________________________ and Im from _____________________. Im calling to urge the Senator to vote on November 29th to update the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, and to oppose Senator Grassleys amendment that would further undermine my privacy.. Our nations privacy laws are outdated and do not adequately protect online communication. My emails, text messages, and online documents should have the same protections as my postal mail, my personal documents, and my phone calls. All government agencies should need a warrant to obtain these documents, or track my location using my cell phone. I know that the Senator cares deeply about protecting individual liberties and supporting small businesses, and I hope that he / she will support legislation that guarantees privacy protections to all Americans and American businesses who use the Internet.

FACEBOOK RESPONSE:

 

Bob: I'm 100% behind law enforcement in their ever more increasingly difficult task of law enforcement, in this ever more lawless nation, particularly in meaningfully lawless new jersey. Unfortunately, when I went to vote, I was asked to grant facebook broad 'authority' which as a matter of internet policy (to prevent a multitude of problems, hacking, etc.) I don't do (facebook's very politicized in a pro-wobama way and hooked into those goldman frauds et als, on fraudulent wall street). Since wobama people do it, you can put in an extra vote on my behalf. I'm currently stonewalled awaiting a formal reply from the fbi inasmuch as I must account for my time wherever I ultimately locate. Below is some recent posted commentary and a response to Congresswoman Roybal-Allard as per her request (I did not receive a reply from Sen. Feinstein regarding the aforesaid matters). Hope you and your family are well.

Dianne Feinstein: No need to debate Republican opponent... { Riiiight! Things are going so swimmingly (as in drowning) for the nation and california particularly. Actually, I responded to a ‘generic’ email / facebook request from her with my subsequent request that she help to elicit a formal response from the FBI as promised regarding the RICO matters (the other incompetent, failed perrenial senator barbara boxer actually had ‘made her presence known’ in the corrupted process regarding usdcj matz/lester and the default of the u.s. which missed the filing date which error was compounded by the misstatement of the rule in court on the record by asst. us attorney robert i. lester); but, no response... http://albertpeia.com/selfdefense.htm   [ One thing is certain from my own direct experience { The unfortunate reality is what I’ve alluded to in the context of my own direct experience; viz., america’s ‘legal system’ is an illegal system used to cover-up crimes, arbitrarily enforce laws to apply pressure, etc., and essentially run by the inmates of this collective criminal entity called america: http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       
http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm      http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm   }   ; despite enormous amounts of taxpayer money poured into the ‘federal system’, there’s relatively/proportionately very little real significant results (an example would be the brutalizing of Martha Stewart over a $45 thousand transaction while wall street frauds in the trillions by the biggest players have gone unprosecuted). I believe reasonable diligence requires self-reliance more than ever before in this nation’s history; particularly when political correctness in some states prevents calling a spade a spade to the substantial detriment of law enforcement! ]

11-5-11 Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. 43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [ http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world ] ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

Guest Post: The West Has Just Become A Giant Banana Republic  Legal precedent means nothing. Rule of law means nothing. Free speech means nothing. Their own treaties mean nothing.

If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the tough questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal drug ops (opsriiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You cant make this stuff up. I also dont believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. Im beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the federal (judicial) system who share the same employer; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared more fairly with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:  Debauchery: An American specialty In the land of Lindsay Lohan and Snooki, some federal workers reflect our culture all too well.

Im awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ) .

Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard.

The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvds sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference. Im currently being stonewalled by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI Agent Bill Lewis.

Vote Fraud Expert: Romney Votes Not Counted in Key States

Paul Joseph Watson | Florida and Ohio called for Obama before substantial number of ballots checked.

http://www.infowars.com/vote-fraud-expert-romney-votes-not-counted-in-key-states

Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
November 9, 2012

Vote fraud expert Bev Harris told the Alex Jones Show that a substantial number of votes for Mitt Romney in the key battleground states of Florida and Ohio, both of which went to Obama, were not even counted before the result was announced.

Harris, the founder of non-partisan elections watchdog Black Box Voting Inc., is a well known vote fraud expert whose work has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, Time Magazine, CNN, ABC, MSNBC, CBS, Fox News, and NBC.

Harris said that a number of problems with voting in the days after the election came flooding in from across the country. As we previously highlighted, reports of electronic voting machine irregularities were widespread almost as soon as voting began on Tuesday.

Harris pointed to the actions of Karl Rove, who confronted Fox News for calling Ohio for Obama when only a mere fraction of the votes had been counted and the two candidates were separated by just 100,000 votes.

Rove attempted to explain to Fox News anchors that there were far too many outstanding votes left to be able to call Ohio for Obama, at least half a million and many in Romney strongholds, but his concerns were instantly dismissed.

Based not on actual votes, but on projections from a single private entity, the National Election Pool (NEP), we were all told what the election results were going to be. When Rove pulled out his notes and calculations, he was basically told Shut up, this is a science, writes Harris.

Harris said the Ohio example was emblematic of what occurred throughout the night.

I watched them call Tennessee eleven minutes after the polls closed without a single vote counted and with no exit poll, Harris told the Alex Jones Show, joking that the people counting the ballots must have been clairvotant.

Nobody knows anything about elections nowadays, what we are doing is watching the TV networks announce to us who the winner is based on a single private organization called NEP, said Harris.

In Florida, which Democrats are claiming as an Obama victory, Harris noted how the voting trend changed only after the lights went out.

They were calling Florida for Obama, they were separated by 40,000 votes, Pinellas County had just announced weve set aside 10,000 ballots that we wont count until tomorrow’….this is the stuff thats really going on, there were 400,000 uncounted provisional ballots in Arizona and there were massive meltdowns in Pima County.so we are just now beginning to unravel what really happened during this election, said Harris.

Harris emphasized that she was an Independent and supported neither major candidate, but that the system was obviously broken and bore little resemblance to a democratic process.

She also pointed out how the outcomes of key battleground states were announced before the voting machine results were even counted.

Harris said she was still going through the reams of data in her possession and would be releasing more information on her website next week.

If were going to accept the idea that they can just tell us who won without counting any votes then.do we deserve this? asked Harris.

Debates 'diminished' Obama, says Romney "You can boil down what he's saying to four simple words: more of the same," Romney said today in Reno. { I’m truly astounded that after 4 years of b***s***, lies, profligate spending for obfuscation but much vacation, and consequent unequivocal failure, people are even listening to, much less ‘buying’ what wobama desperately says. Not even a word from 0 is worth listening to. That includes those who should supposedly know better. Moreover, self-respect requires that americans reject wobama’s desperate campaign slings, arrows, and desperate entreaties which ignore the reality of his blatant failure in large part owing to his having failed to do as promised last ‘eternal campaign’. Then there’s the threats and intimidation from the niggers who are like ignorant, vicious  animals in lockstep accord with the abject and utter presidential failure obama; yet, such typical ‘clannish’ racism by blacks is virtually ignored and rational opposition to the failure spelled ‘0’ is being cast as racist. How can any nation survive such contraindicated insanity.  I’m truly amazed! }

A Jobs Report Conspiracy?

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com 

 http://albertpeia.com/jobreportcon.htm

{ Come on! People have to start calling a spade a spade! Os just a typical incompetent, jive-talking b***s*** nigger! He is so pathetic and a total embarrassment! }

Well, isn't that convenient?  The Obama campaign desperately needed the last employment report to be released before the election to show that the unemployment rate had fallen below 8 percent, and somehow it magically happened.  Even though non-farm payroll employment only increased by 114,000 last month (not enough to even keep up with population growth), the official unemployment rate fell from 8.1 percent to 7.8 percent.  So how did that happen?  Well, the unemployment number is not based on the survey of employers that showed that 114,000 jobs were added to the economy last month.  Rather it is based on a survey of households.  And that survey showed that the total number of Americans employed last month increased by a whopping 873,000 - almost eight times the number that the employer survey showed.  That figure for September (873,000) was the biggest one month increase in 29 years.  And it just happened to come at the exact perfect time for Barack Obama.  So was there a jobs report conspiracy?  Examine the evidence and decide for yourself.

The number of Americans with a job fell by 195,000 in July.

Then it fell by another 119,000 in August.

But somehow in September it miraculously exploded in the other direction and 873,000 jobs were added to the economy?

If you believe that, I have a bridge that I want to sell you.

Somehow, the largest increase in jobs in 29 years happened just when Barack Obama needed it the most.

Nah, that doesn't sound fishy to me at all.

We are being told that a big reason for the huge increase was the number of Americans working part-time for "economic reasons".  That number surged from 8.0 million in August to 8.6 million in September.

Why the sudden jump?

Nobody can really explain it.

And if you look at the U6 unemployment rate, nothing has really changed at all.  U6 is still at 14.7 percent just like it was last month.

But the media is not going to talk about the U6 rate.  Instead, all of the headlines are going to be about "7.8 percent".

According to the survey of employers, the U.S. economy added fewer jobs in September than it did in August, and it added fewer jobs in August than it did in July.

So according to the survey of employers, the employment situation in the United States is getting worse.

But according to the household survey, we just had the greatest month of job creation since the first term of Ronald Reagan.

Something does not add up.

And as I have written about previously, the unemployment rate would actually be up around 11 percent instead of 7.8 percent if not for the millions of workers that the government claims "dropped out of the labor force" over the past few years because they became too discouraged to look for work.

So unemployment in America is still a massive crisis, but the media is boldly proclaiming that things are getting better and that we are on the road to recovery.

Of course Obama looks like the cat who ate the canary today.  He is just thrilled with the "7.8 percent" number.

But the truth is that according to the employer survey, job growth in the United States is actually slower than last year.  The following is from the Calculated Risk blog....

All that said, the economy has only added 1.3 million payroll jobs over the first nine months of the year. At this pace, the economy would only add around 1.8 million private sector jobs in 2012; less than the 2.1 million added in 2011.

Are you starting to see why people are so skeptical of this jobs report?

When the "7.8 percent" figure was released, there was immediately a wave of shock and unbelief throughout the financial world and all over the Internet.

The following is a sampling of skeptical quotes about this jobs report....

Former GE chief Jack Welch

Unbelievable jobs numbers..these Chicago guys will do anything..can't debate so change numbers

Chapwood Capital Investment Management Managing Partner Ed Butowsky

I feel like Im watching a movie. There is no way in the world these numbers are accurate.

Neil Irwin of the Washington Post

"Weird that payrolls are exactly on forecast but household survey is far better."

Conn Carroll, senior editorial writer for the Washington Examiner

While it is highly improbable that BLS conspired to cook the books, there is still a huge 756,000 job gap between the number of jobs employers told the Labor Department they created in September (114k), and the number of Americans who told the labor department that they got new jobs (873k).

U.S. Representative Allen West

I agree with former GE CEO Jack Welch, Chicago style politics is at work here. Somehow by manipulation of data we are all of a sudden below 8 percent unemployment, a month from the Presidential election. This is Orwellian to say the least and representative of Saul Alinsky tactics from the book "Rules for Radicals"- a must read for all who want to know how the left strategize . Trust the Obama administration? Sure, and the spontaneous reaction to a video caused the death of our Ambassador......and pigs fly.

Gluskin Sheff's David Rosenberg

That the 7.8 percent jobless rate takes it to the level that prevailed when the President took office in January 2009 has raised many an eyebrow. I don't believe in conspiracy theories. But I don't believe in the Household Survey either. 

This notoriously volatile indicator has become even more so in recent months. It showed a 195K slide in July and a 119K decline in August, to only then reveal a massive 873K surge in September.

Radio host Laura Ingraham

"Jobs #s from Labor Secretary Hilda Solis are total pro-Obama propaganda--labor force participation rate at 30-yr low. Abysmal!"

Americans for Limited Government

"Either the Federal Reserve, which has its fingers on the pulse of every element of the economy, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics manufacturing survey report are grievously wrong or the number used to calculate the unemployment rate are wrong, or worse manipulated. Given that these numbers conveniently meet Obama's campaign promises one month before the election, the conclusions are obvious."

Rick Santelli of CNBC

"I told you they'd get it under 8 percent they did! You can let America decide how they got there!"

Of course the backlash in the media against skepticism of the jobs report has been very forceful.

Already, those that are doubtful of the legitimacy of the jobs report are being called "truthers" - as if there is something wrong with wanting to know the truth.

Sadly, that is how things work these days.  If you don't like the viewpoint that some people are expressing, you just label them "conspiracy theorists".

And when someone is labeled a "conspiracy theorist", that is code for "that person is so crazy that you should not listen to anything they say".

But the truth is that we live in a world where often people do things that they are not supposed to be doing.

When something rather strange happens, it is not wrong to investigate and try to figure out what is going on.

And this jobs report seems very, very odd.

It sure does seem rather strange that the household survey is showing almost 8 times as many jobs created as the employer survey does.

It sure does seem rather strange that 873,000 more Americans were working in September (the largest increase in 29 years) after decreases in both July and August.

It sure does seem rather strange that the unemployment rate dropped under 8 percent at the exact moment when Barack Obama needed it the most.

But perhaps all of this is just a coincidence.

What do you think?’

{  JACK WELCH: Obama Is Manipulating The Jobs Numbers Because His Debate Performance Was Awful  Business Insider | Former GE CEO Jack Welchs reaction to non-farm payrolls adding 114,000 new jobs in September and the unemployment rate falling to 7.8 percent.  Welch: Obama manipulating numbers after debate performance...  { There are some people (and their assessments) that you might dismiss as light-weight partisans Jack Welch is not one of them!

Whoopi Goldberg curses out Ann Coulter over book on race...

The conservative commentator makes the case in her new book, "Mugged" that liberals use race mongering for political advantage.Host Whoopi Goldberg confronted the author over the topic of race, cursing her out and accusing her of not knowing what she was talking about.Coulter voraciously defended her book, claiming its more about white liberals, than African Americans.

ROUGH TRANSCRIPT...

JOY BEHAR: With 40 days until the election, Ms. Ann Coulter is back with a new book, "Mugged", where she claims that President Obama has abandoned black Americans and that the OJ Simpson verdict was a great thing for America. Please welcome back the very controversial Ann Coulter!

Ann, I need you to tell me, what you are trying to say in this book. Because we don't know what you are trying to say.

ANN COULTER: What I am trying to say is race mongering has been very bad for America, liberals use it to promote causes that nothing to do with blacks and in fact harm blacks. And that excellent lead in you just gave, with OJ, I think that was the movement, having lived near New York City in the 70's and 80's, which was the golden era, it was Trayvon Martin and Duke Lacrosse case everyday.

With the OJ verdict, white America said thats it, the white guilt bank is shutdown. And that ended up being the best thing that ever happened to black Americans.

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: What are you talking about?

COULTER: I meant that no longer...

BARBARA WALTERS: He being aquited was good for whom?

COULTER: Millions of white people watching with the equivalent of in New York, we use the Brooklyn juries who simply would not convict, even guilty black criminals.

GOLDBERG: You know what, hold up Ms. Coulter. Please stop, please stop! If you're going to talk about race, at least, know what you're talking about. At least know what you're talking about.

Tell me how much you know about being black?

COULTER: Well, this isn't about being black.

GOLDBERG: But you just said that this is, you just made all these statements about how black people feel, tell me how you know it?

COULTER: This is not a book about black people, this is a book about white liberals. And I do know and this is a fact, once for years, Republican policies on crime and welfare for example were called racist.

When they finally got implemented after the OJ verdict, implemented by Giuliani in New York, Reagan and Bush judges overall, tens of thousands of black lives were saved. That's a fact.

GOLDBERG: Your facts a just a little shaky. You're saying that because liberals have abandoned black people now because, what? I don't get it, I don't understand.

COULTER: I don't think that liberals ever cared about black people. 5 minutes after the civil rights act of '64, they start calling everything that doesn't have to do with black people a "civil rights issue"

Abortion on demand, homeless rights...

SHERRI SHEPARD: You're saying liberals don't care about black people, then are you saying that Republicans embrace us in a warm fuzzy.

COULTER: I do, we are not embraced back. We try to...

BEHAR: So, the white southern strategy wasn't a republican thing, it was a Republican thing? And also Newt Gingrich calls President Obama a food stamp president, that's not racist?

HASSELBECK: Do you think its racist for Newt to say that the President is a food stamp President?

COULTER: I'm not a big fan of Newt, so we can just skip that for a second and get to the Southern Strategy because I've specifically disproved it. It's absolutely a liberal folk-lore, Republicans were winning the South since 1920, it was the outer states of the South, it was Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia.

GOLDBERG: What are you talking about, we weren't allow to vote?

COULTER: Who was trying to get them to vote, Republicans were! And the first black congressmen were all Republicans and the first black Governor was a Republican.

GOLDBERG: Wait a minute, you are talking about way back after...

SHEPARD: Everyone understands Republicans are way different than the way they are now and...

COULTER: And that's what we are told and The Democratic segregationist were all Democrats, it's a lie that they were Conservative democrats

GOLDBERG: Everyone was a segregationist darling , everybody was! White people were, they didn't matter whether they were Republican or not.

COULTER: Republicans were not...

GOLDBERG: Bullshit! Bullshit, I'm sorry! That's bull, that's bull

COULTER: No, no that is not... ok just read chapter 14 in the book, the first Republicans to be elected in the south

GOLDBERG: I listen to my grandmother, who was there! Who remembers what happened.

COULTER: Howard Baker, an aggressive integrationist, first Republican elected in Tennessee to the Senate, Winthrop Rockefeller, first republican governor in Arkansas, an integrationist.

The Southern Strategy is a lie.

BEHAR: It seems to me that voter suppression is happening in areas where black people and hispanics are and it is really being promoted by the Republicans, not the Democrats.

So, my view and I have a different one from you, it looks as though the Republicans are really going against blacks, not the Liberals. What do you say to that?

COULTER: It's a perfect example, no i'll explain why, of liberals using the label of civil rights to promote a liberal cause they support, ie voter fraud, in fact one of the first states in the union to pass voter ID bill was Rhode Island, 85 percent democrat legislature. And who pushed it? A black Democrat in the house, a black Democrat in the senate. That's a fact!

BEHAR: You may pick out Rhode Island, but there are other states where it's completely Republican driven

COULTER: Why would Black Democrats be pushing this? Because they've seen voter fraud!

BEHAR: Because they want the hispanic vote to go to Romney!

BARBARA WALTERS: Can I ask a general question, everybook that you write is very controversial and shocking and usually an opinion thats desperate with everyone else.

Do you just write these books and try to find whatever it is that's going to make everybody say, "Ah!"

BEHAR: You don't believe this crap?

COULTER: The reason, it's an excellent question. The reason I write these books is because I try to correct things that people believe that are just false.

SHEPARD: Here's a question, because I was reading the book..

WALTERS: And you may be the only one that says it.

COULTER: There are a few things, discovering that we never won the Goldwater states and Republicans didn't win the Dixiecrat states until the Dixiecrats died out

SHEPARD: You keep standing back in the past, you got to come back to the present. But this what I wanted to say.

COULTER: That's new to me, the rest of it other people know.

SHEPARD: You keep saying if you read chapter 14, you make such divisive comments and incendiary comments, and hateful comments at times, it makes people not want to pick up your book and read it!

COULTER: No, I don't think so. What's a hateful comment in here?

SHEPARD: When you talk about, you stay in the past,

COULTER: Well, thats because that was brought up. Its just a fact.

SHEPARD: When you talk about voter suppression, which is obviously trying to keep black and Latino.

COULTER: Republicans have never done that, that was a Democrat thing...

SHEPARD: Ann, there are states where they don't even have...

WALTERS: Stop it, can I just say one thing to Ann? No matter what, you sit down here and you got 5 women going bah badda badda, whatever it is, thank you for coming on!

ANNOUNCEMENTS

YouTube's Censorship of Anti-Islam Video Raises Numerous Questions Around Online Free Expression

In an unusual move, YouTube announced that it was blocking access in some countries to a video showing clips from "The Innocence of Muslims" after the anti-Islamic film sparked violent protests in the area. By the company's own admission, the video falls within its Terms of Service. YouTube appears to have made the decision to self-censor on their own.

It is easy to understand why YouTube might feel compelled to act in response to the rioting over this video, but once YouTube has made the decision to proactively censor its content, they start down a slippery slope that ends in YouTube Knows Best moral policing of every video on their site.

Speak Out Against TPP

Earlier this month, negotiators from the United States and eight other countries held backroom meetings about the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement at a golf resort outside Washington, D.C. Leaked language from the agreement's intellectual property chapter has been worrisome, and the public has no idea what is in the latest official draft. There has been zero transparency in a process that is being pushed to the finish.

What's worse is that the people who do have access to TPP's official language are the same content industry executives that tried pushing through harmful laws like SOPA, PIPA, and ACTA.

Join us in demanding an end to these backroom negotiations.

EFF Updates

ECPA Reform May Require Warrants for Email, But Hurts Video Privacy

Senator Leahy proposed detailed language to update the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), the primary law governing privacy rights for stored email. ECPA is woefully outdated -- it was passed in 1986 before cloud computing and archived email even existed -- so this is great news. Unfortunately, the proposed language would also weaken privacy-protective measures in the Video Privacy and Protection Act.

New York Judge Tries to Silence Twitter in Its Ongoing Battle to Protect User Privacy

Rather than face contempt charges, Twitter handed over data requested by the government about an Occupy Wall Street protester, under seal, to the New York Criminal Court. Twitter was faced with a terrible choice between giving ground on its fight for user privacy, or risk a potentially expensive contempt of court citation.

Fight over FISA Amendments Act Moves to the Senate after House Passes Warrantless Spying Bill

The House of Representatives voted to renew the dangerous FISA Amendment Act -- which hands the NSA broad, warrantless surveillance powers over Americans' international communications -- for another five years. Sadly, the House refused to add any new oversight powers or privacy protections, despite ample evidence the NSA has used it to unconstitutionally spy on Americans.

TPP Trade Delegates Shut Out Internet Users' Concerns

The secretive Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement (TPP) negotiations were held earlier this month in a golf resort outside D.C. TPP is yet another example of how the U.S. entertainment industries are pressuring lawmakers to push forward overprotective intellectual property laws that will also put the Internet and its users at risk. EFF attended the events to speak to delegates and demand transparency; however, the U.S. Trade Representative would have none of it.

Court Upholds $9,250 Per Song Penalty in Filesharing Case

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit upheld the original jury verdict against Jammie Thomas-Rasset: a $222,000 penalty for sharing 24 songs on a peer-to-peer network. That's $9,250 per song, for songs that sell for about a dollar at retail.

French Anti-Piracy Law Claims First Victim, Convicted of Failing to Secure His Internet Connection

The French anti-piracy law, Hadopi, has claimed its first victim. The individual was convicted of allowing his WiFi connection to be used to download songs without obtaining prior permission from the copyright owners. While we were heartened that the individual's Internet connection was not suspended, EFF condemns the ongoing application of Hadopi, which threatens our rights to access and publish content freely online. This ruling serves as further evidence that such three-strikes laws must be repealed.

New Research on "Junk" DNA Revives Privacy Questions

In a case challenging California's warrentless DNA collection program, EFF asked the court to consider new research that confirms that over 80% of our DNA that was once thought to have no function actually plays a critical role in controlling how our cells, tissues, and organs behave.

Interview with OpenMedia's Steve Anderson About Stop the Trap Campaign

EFF interviewed the Executive Director of OpenMedia, Steve Anderson, to discuss their international Stop The Trap coalition campaign.

Professor Michael Geist on TPP and Its Effects on Canadian Internet Users

EFF interviewed Professor Michael Geist to capture some of the main Canadian concerns specifically related to some of the most controversial intellectual property issues present in TPP.

UK Snoopers' Charter Draws Sharp Critique from Global Advocates

In a submission to the U.K. Parliament's Communications Data Bill Joint Scrutiny Committee, the Global Network Initiative outlined serious concerns with the proposed Snoopers' Charter, which would expand governmental powers to access the online communications of all U.K. citizens.

Philippines' New Cybercrime Prevention Act Troubling for Free Expression

Nor is it the American invasions and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. Nor is it the United States and the Wests support for various deeply unpopular regimes such as the monarchies in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia (and formerly Iran).

Romney and the GOP still toe the Bush line  Republican leaders are sick and tired of Democrats blaming all the nation's problems on George W.

Indeed, many within ‘the fold’ include ‘bush men’ (ie., mueller, bernanke, etc.); and comparable failed policies as, ie., protracted unnecessary war, profligate spending worse than bush, rule by proclamation/executive orders,  no prosecution of huge wall street frauds, etc., all contrary to campaign promises/b***s*** that got him elected, a mistake that won’t be repeated this time around. }

{ Im really constrained to interject my own direct experience with the FBI / u.s. government here; and, I must say I do so lamentably. If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the tough questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal drug ops (opsriiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You cant make this stuff up. I also dont believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. Im beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the federal (judicial) system who share the same employer; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared more fairly with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:  What in the World Has Happened to the FBI/DOJ?      http://albertpeia.com/fbinazibikersbustfbinazibikers2.htm    ,   Chief Justice John Roberts Bowed To Political Pressure And Changed His Vote On Obamacare  http://albertpeia.com/nolegalsystem.htm   { The unfortunate reality is what Ive alluded to in the context of my own direct experience; viz., americas legal system is an illegal system used to cover-up crimes, arbitrarily enforce laws to apply pressure, etc., and essentially run by the inmates of this collective criminal entity called america: http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf

[ This is a reply to the Congresswoman’s query among others included.]

 

11-5-11

 

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. 43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

 

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

Sincerely,

Albert L. Peia

If the case of white supremacist Hal Turner taught us anything, it is that the government manufactures Nazis and racists from whole cloth and then uses them to push hysterical domestic terrorist propaganda and self-aggrandizement.

It came out during Turners trial that he was a National Security Intelligence asset working for the FBIs Joint Terrorism Task Force. His code name was Valhalla and he received thousands of dollars from the FBI to report on such groups as the Aryan Nations and the white supremacist National Alliance, and even a member of the Blue Eyed Devils skinhead punk band, according to The Record.

The FBI has run racist and white supremacist groups since the 1960s. Under COINTELPRO, the FBI subsidized, armed, directed and protected the Ku Klux Klan and other right-wing groups, Brian Glick writes. Racist groups were used to create a strategy of tension by attacking groups on the so-called left, including anti-war, Chicano and Puerto Rican activists and nationalists.

More recently, in 2007, the FBI organized a neo-Nazi march in Orlando, Florida. The FBIs informant (agent provocateur) was one of the most visible individuals in the National Socialist Movement, according to Andy Rosenkranz, state regional director for the Anti-Defamation League. Generally, the FBI and the JTTF (Joint Terrorism Task Force) in Florida does an excellent job.

The FBI has also infiltrated a number of supposed Muslim terrorists groups and has wheedled, cajoled and otherwise manipulated patsies into agreeing to commit terror attacks.

In October, Mother Jones revealed that the FBI is notorious for creating supposed terrorist groups from scratch and then framing patsies in order to claim the government is protecting the United States from terrorists. The number of government informants and agents provocateurs has grown exponentially since the 1970s when the FBI claimed it shut down COINTELPRO.

On Tuesday, the New York Daily News reported the FBIs latest terrorist creation the 1st SS Kavallerie Brigade Motorcycle Division, founded in 2007 to recruit neo-Nazi bikers for the Aryan Nations, a white supremacist terrorist organization, according to Anthony Bartkewicz.

One member offered a $1,000 reward for the shooting of a black man. Others stockpiled explosives to be used in terror attacks on U.S. targets, writes Bartkewicz. But the biker gang was founded by undercover law enforcement agents in Florida, and eventually 20 people were arrested for a range of offenses, from dealing drugs to possessing illegal weapons and plotting murders, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

In May, the FBI took down a group of mentally challenged white supremacists belonging to the American Front, a group on the edge of extinction in the early 2000s but resuscitated on the internet. The FBI claimed the group was planning to kill Jews and minorities in the inevitable race war, according to an affidavit obtained by the Orlando Sentinel. The Sentinel reports that the group also looked to manufacture ricin, a weapon of mass destruction,’” CBS Tampa reported.
Fear and loathing by liberals over FBI manufactured racist threat.

Considering the FBIs track record, however, it is likely the ricin plot was concocted by the agency and then fed to the American Front patsies prior to the sensationalized bust. Patsies rarely devise their own plots and are carefully managed by the agency and its army of informants and agents provocateurs.

The Nazi biker group created by the FBI after the Aryan Nations said it wanted to form a Nazi motorcycle club to serve as the militant arm for white supremacists across the country, according to records obtained by the Orlando Sentinel.

Using a false identity, the agent with the Orange County Sheriffs Office became the Aryan Nations top Florida administrator responsible for recruiting members for what would become the 1st SS Kavallerie Brigade Motorcycle Division operating out of a clubhouse in St. Cloud, Henry Pierson Curtis writes for the Sentinel.

Early members included at least two additional undercover FBI agents who infiltrated the club and a biker accused of offering $1,000 to anyone willing to shoot a black man riding an ATV in rural Osceola County, records show.

In 2007, a FBI informant, Rick Spring, admitted to running the Aryan Nations. In a confessional emailed out to white nationalist leaders, federal informant and convicted bank robber Rick Spring admitted today that he operated the Aryan Nations as a false flag front group for the FBI after the death of Richard Butler, wrote Bill White, editor of the Libertarian Socialist News.

Government connections to terror groups are legion. In 2004, for instance, the FBI revealed the Southern Poverty Law Center was involved with government operative and convicted Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh and the Aryan Republican Army at Elohim City. McVeighs contact at Elohim City was Andreas Carl Strassmeir, a former German intelligence officer. Peter Langan, the son of a retired U.S. Marine intelligence officer and said to be the leader of the Aryan Republican Army, was a government informant.

The SS Kavallerie Brigade Motorcycle Division, responsible for setting up the American Front, is yet another convoluted government fabrication designed to convince ill-informed Americans that radical Muslims are not the only threat they face. So are white guys with tattoos on their foreheads.

The absurdly overblown threat of skinheads gunning for minorities plays right into the Department of Homeland Securitys rightwing extremist narrative.

Threats from white supremacist and violent antigovernment groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts, the DHS wrote in a 2009 for eyes-only memo subsequently leaked to Infowars.com and others, but have capitalized on the election of the first African American president, and are focusing their efforts to recruit new members, mobilize existing supporters, and broaden their scope and appeal through propaganda, but they have not yet turned to attack planning.

The FBI’s contrived plots – including purported violence against police and officialdom by the Hutaree militia and now a supposed weapons of mass destruction attack by the American Front – are designed primarily for propaganda purposes. The Hutaree militia was vindicated in court and the accusations against the American Front will likely also eventually be reduced and revealed as government grandstanding, although this will not be reported on the front page in blazing headlines.’

Lapdog to Napolitano! Whew! Ew! Wow! Yuck! After all, jano almost makes mo reno look like a beauty queen! Im starting to get dry heaves! In the suit Hayes also accused Napolitanos chief of staff at ICE, Suzanne Barr, of repeated 'sexually offensive behaviour' intended to 'humiliate and intimidate male employees'.On one occasion, Barr called a colleague in his hotel room and screamed using sexually explicit language, telling him she 'wanted his c*** in the back of [her] throat'.Hayes claims he 'felt that he was being targeted because of his gender' and witnessed Barr repeatedly picking on men. She 'created a frat-house type atmosphere that is targeted to humiliate and intimidate male employees', according to court papers. In 2009 she 'removed the entire contents of the offices of three male employees, including nameplates, computers and telephones, to the mens bathroom at ICE headquarters'.

Dave Bohon | Supporters of homosexual marriage, however, have been unable to leave the issue and agree to disagree.  {  I believe the concerted wrongful conduct of the respective cities et als vis-ŕ-vis Chick-Fil-A may well be actionable as a business tort; and as well, a violation of constitutionally protected rights of  free speech, having a chilling effect thereon, by way of incorporation thereof under the fourteenth amendment of the u.s. constitution, as well as pursuant to the respective state constitutions applicable to the offending cities.  }

ANNOUNCEMENTS

EFF Challenges National Security Letter Statute in Landmark Lawsuit

Since the first national security letter statute was passed in 1986, the FBI has issued hundreds of thousands of such letters seeking private telecommunications and financial records of Americans without any prior approval from courts. EFF is releasing an FBI-redacted briefing from a major new ongoing case in which it is challenging one of the NSL statutes on behalf of a telecommunications company that received an NSL in 2011.

When Did Free Speech Get So Expensive?

The Oatmeal creator Matthew Inman was subject to a frivolous lawsuit designed to shut him up. Known as a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP), litigation like this -- and the big legal fees that can come with it -- threatens free speech across the country. Urge Congress today to pass a federal anti-SLAPP statute to protect bloggers, journalists, creators, and more.

FAA Releases Thousands of Pages of Drone Records

EFF recently received information about drone flights in the United States, including extensive details about the specific drone models some entities are flying, where they fly, how frequently they fly, and how long they stay in the air. The 125 drone certificates and accompanying documents the FAA released total thousands of pages and were released in response to EFF's Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, which has already uncovered the list of all entities licensed to fly domestic drones.

EFF Urges Congress to Protect Privacy in Face Recognition

On Wednesday, EFF Staff Attorney Jennifer Lynch urged Congress to limit the collection of biometrics and protect privacy with respect to the use of face recognition technology. Jennifer's testimony in a Senate hearing on "What Facial Recognition Technology Means for Privacy and Civil Liberties" outlined the privacy and security concerns that are inherent to automatic face recognition. The use of face recognition technology raises important First and Fourth Amendment concerns, though the scope of Constitutional protections in this area is unclear.

Fifth Circuit Upholds Sanctions Award Against Copyright Troll Attorney

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a district court order imposing sanctions on Evan Stone, attorney for adult film producer Mick Haig Productions. Stone improperly issued subpoenas without leave of court to ISPs seeking the identities of anonymous subscribers in a mass end-user copyright infringement case.

Singing Obama Ad Takedown Means More Trouble for Political Speech Online

An official Romney campaign ad that showed President Obama singing a line from the Al Green song "Let's Stay Together" has been hit with a takedown from BMG Rights Management -- the group that controls the publishing rights of the original song -- and pulled from YouTube. This kind of takedown abuse is all too common, and we're likely to see it again this campaign season.

House Quietly Reintroduces a Piece of SOPA

Even after millions rallied against the passage of SOPA/PIPA, the House is still quietly trying to pass a related bill that would give the entertainment industry more permanent, government-funded spokespeople. Rep. Lamar Smith's IP Attache Act would create an Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property, as well as broaden the use of IP attaches in particular U.S. embassies.

Victory for Open WiFi: Judge Rejects Copyright Troll's Bogus "Negligence" Theory

Judge Lewis Kaplan of the U.S. district court in Manhattan ruled that the owner of an Internet connection cannot be found liable for "negligence" simply because another person uses his wifi connection to commit copyright infringement -- even if he knows about it. After this decision, copyright trolls should find it harder to coerce settlement payments from innocent people for the commonplace act of sharing an Internet connection.

EFF to FCC: Consumers Face Uphill Battle in Fight for Mobile Device Privacy

EFF filed comments with the Federal Communications Commission about the privacy and data security practices of mobile wireless service providers. Mobile privacy is an issue we've been increasingly concerned about in the wake of the Carrier IQ privacy scandal, which was part of the inspiration for our Mobile User Privacy Bill of Rights.

ACTA's Defeat in Europe and What Lies Ahead

There's a majority consensus that ACTA now lies dead in Europe. There are however, a few murmurs of concern ahead.

Is the TPP the Best Way to Build a 21st Century Society?

The TPP agreement has been framed by the USTR as a 21st century agreement, but we're still not convinced -- especially in an environment where the public, Congress, and civil rights organizations are denied access to the treaty's official text, while corporate representatives have full access to it.

Raising Global Awareness of the Plight of Syrian Bloggers

The number of citizen journalists killed or arrested in Syria rises daily. While some have received ample international attention for their plight, many others have gone largely ignored by the media.

Court Won't Shut Down Aereo Before Trial -- Round 2 Begins for Internet Startup

Aereo, a startup that lets viewers watch broadcast TV over the Internet from tiny, personal antennas, can stay up and running -- at least for now.

PAPER: Obama's grandfather tortured by the British? A fantasy (like most of the President's own memoir)... By Toby Harnden PUBLISHED:| UPDATED:{  http://albertpeia.com/wobamaschoomgangfantasy.htm  }

A new biography of Barack Obama has established that his grandfather was not, as is related in the Presidents own memoir, detained by the British in Kenya and found that claims that he was tortured were a fabrication.

'Barack Obama: The Story' by David Maraniss catalogues dozens of instances in which Obama deviated significantly from the truth in his book 'Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance'. The 641-page book punctures the carefully-crafted narrative of Obamas life.

One of the enduring myths of Obamas ancestry is that his paternal grandfather Hussein Onyango Obama, who served as a cook in the British Army, was imprisoned in 1949 by the British for helping the anti-colonial Mau Mau rebels and held for several months.

Obamas step-grandmother Sarah, Onyango wife, who is still living, is quoted in the future Presidents memoir, as saying: One day, the white mans askaris came to take Onyango away, and he was placed in a detention camp.

Michelle Obama savages the pursuit of 'fat paychecks and nice offices' (despite her past life as a high-flying corporate lawyer)

Revealed: Michelle Obama's WHITE distant cousins... and how the First Lady's great-great-great grandmother had a relationship with a slave owner's son

But he had been in the camp for over six months, and when he returned to Alego he was very thin and dirty. He had difficulty walking, and his head was full of lice. He was so ashamed, he refused to enter his house or tell us what happened.

In a 2008 interview, Sarah Obama claimed that he was whipped every morning and evening by the British. They would sometimes squeeze his testicles with metal rods. They also pierced his nails and buttocks with a sharp pin, with his hands and legs tied together. He was lucky to survive. Some of his fellow inmates were mutilated with castration pliers and beaten to death with clubs.

But Maraniss, who researched Obamas life in Kenya, Indonesia, Hawaii and the mainland United States, found that there were no remaining records of any detention, imprisonment, or trial of Hussein Onyango Obama. He interviewed five people who knew Obamas grandfather, who died in 1979, who doubted the story or were certain it did not happen.

This undermines the received wisdom that Obamas grandfather was a victim of oppression, an assumption that has in turn fuelled theories that Obama harbours an animus towards Britain based on a deeply-rooted rage about the way Onyango was treated.

John Ndalo Aguk, who worked with Onyango before the alleged imprisonment and was in touch with him weekly afterwards said he 'knew nothing' about any detention and would have noticed if he had gone missing for several months.

Zablon Okatch, who worked with Onyango as a servant to American diplomats after the supposed incarceration, said: Hussein was never jailed. I know that for a fact. It would have been difficult for him to get a job with a white family, let alone a diplomat, if he once served in jail.

Charles Oluoch, whose father was adopted by Onyango, said that he did not have any trouble with the government in any way'.

Dick Opar, a relative by marriage to Onyango and a senior Kenyan police official, gave what Maraniss judged to be the most authoritative word. People make up stories, he said. If you get arrested, you say it was the fight for independence, but they are arrested for another thing.

I would have known. I would have known. If he was in Kamiti Prison for only a day, even if for a day, I would have known.

Maraniss also casts a sceptical eye on Obamas grandmothers tales of racism in Kansas, doubting whether she was ever chastised for addressing a black janitor as Mister or ridiculed for playing with a black girl.

Obama himself, Maraniss finds, deliberately distorted elements of his own life to fit into a racial narrative. The author writes that Obama presents himself in his memoir as blacker and more disaffected than he really was.

The memoir accentuates characters drawn from black acquaintances who played lesser roles his real life but could be used to advance a line of thought, while leaving out or distorting the actions of friends who happened to be white’…

In the forward to his memoir, Obama wrote that for the sake of compression, some of the characters that appear are composites of people Ive known, and some events appear out of precise chronology.

But Maraniss writes that Obamas book is literature and memoir, not history and autobiography and concludes: The character creations and rearrangements of the book are not merely a matter of style, devices of compression, but are also substantive.

Writing about his schooldays, Obama created a friend called Regina, a symbol of the authentic black American experience that Obama yearns for.

Maraniss found, however, that Regina was based on Caroline Boss, a white student leader at Occidental College. Regina was the name of Bosss Swiss grandmother.

The book also notes that Obama removed two white roommates in Los Angeles and New York from his story. Obama himself told Maraniss in a 90-minute interview that a racial incident involving a New York girlfriend had in fact happened in Chicago.

A tale of the father of Obamas Indonesian stepfather Soewarno Martodihardjo being killed by Dutch soldiers as he fought for Indonesian independence turns out to be a concocted myth in almost all respects, Maraniss finds.

According to the book, both Obamas father and his paternal grandfather were abusive towards women and Maraniss finds that Obamas story that he was abandoned by his father when he was two was false in fact, Obamas mother fled to Washington state a year earlier, possibly because she was being beaten.

A character in Obamas memoir called Ray, portrayed as a symbol of young blackness, is in fact based on a fellow pupil who was half Japanese, part native American and part black and was not a close friend.

In the memoir Barry and Ray, could be heard complaining about how rich white haole [upper class white Hawaiian] girls would never date them. In fact, neither had much trouble in that regard.

Obama notes of his own grandfather that he was apt to create history to conform with the image he wished for himself

Maraniss, who also wrote an acclaimed biography of Bill Clinton, suggests that throughout his life Obama himself, following on from his forbears on both sides,  has done the same thing.

Lew Rockwell: Ron Paul will NOT Endorse Mitt Romney

{ I include this and infowars/prisonplanet headlines so as not to be accused of first amendment obstruction. Yet, Im constrained to point out that I was censored on the alex jones sites who despite endlessly complaining about censorship, do so themselves (particularly regarding American inherently criminal predispositions, which of course lead ineluctably to much of what alex jones complains about, especially corruption). Jones et als complain about jivetalking pre-disposed failed president and dictatorial despot wobama yet seek to be wobamas best friends in embracing whatever it is that yields proven failure and ominously worse by a petulant attitude that ignores the reality of flawed americana. Fortunately, the grueling primary battle of which Ron Paul was a willing participant has yielded the ultimate winner in November in the person of President Mitt Romney. Sadly, jones remains mr. tubby not too bright (he really isnt that bright) from Texas who just cant help himself as the moth to the flame in ineluctably embracing losing whenever he can, chiding others for not  following his lemming path beyond the precipice (ie., the wiser Rand Paul Ron Paul was 77 and never resonated despite equal opportunity to do so), which makes him a loser in spades.

Unholy mess: Vatican amidst mafia money-laundering scandal [ The unholy see? Or are they conveniently blind? ] The Vatican Bank is under media fire as reports emerge that Italian prosecutors suspect it of laundering Sicilian mafia bosses riches.

{ I'm surprised they did this there and not here in the states where drug-money laundering is among other significant crimes, protected. My reply incorporates my direct experience concerning the foregoing and then some here in the states:

FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE <[email protected]>

I think you should keep this in mind:

There's not even the slightest doubt in my mind that they're already monitoring/wiretapping phones/lines without warrants; and have been doing so for quite some time. [ I actually confirmed this by measuring the impedance on my line with devices for said purpose some time ago]. I personally haven't had such pressing need for privacy; but I support your cause [I also believe they monitor everything you see on your screen and their supercomputers are getting better/faster, etc.].

What I believe this is about is their using/referencing same and such for charges, in court or otherwise, etc..

You must realize the law, arbitrarily enforced at best, coercive consistent with their misguided agendas, is all but absolutely meaningless to them except as used to further their respective agendas. The process is totally corrupt (the very few exceptions are statistically insignificant). After all, you need only look so far as the still unprosecuted largest wall street frauds, the government's illegal drug trade, etc.. [Think of it in terms of arm-twisting without the twisting; unless of course, you don't see/do things their way, in which case you may experience the full weight of the law as they arbitrarily apply it. Don't forget: they have the same employer.]

I've experienced this first-hand:

Subject: CISPA vote delayed!

 

Ok, so here's the latest on CISPA:

Insiders expected the Senate to vote in the week after they returned from Memorial Day recess. But guess what? The week
s over, and no vote. Now we're hearing the Senate might not vote until the 3rd or 4th week of June.

This is exactly what we want. CISPA's supporters are in a race against time: in just 7 weeks Congress will shut down, election season kicks in, and the clock runs out for CISPA. Even better, the fact that Congress postponed the vote means they probably don't have enough "yes" votes yet.

The problem is, they
re working on a deal to get those votes. Which is why we need every person receiving this in California to schedule a meeting at their senators office. Call, get a time and date and report back, making sure we can contact you. Others will follow your lead and offer to go with you. Lets do this -- we have to get into their offices before they finish cutting a deal and pass this awful bill.

Click here to call to get a date and time for a meeting now! (Its super important)

The odds are against us, but the idea of giving the FBI, NSA, and local police a permanent warrantless wiretap on our online life... well, it makes us sick. Let
s win this one.

Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Linked to Prejudice [  I disagree with this speciously reasoned article. First, all races are prejudiced (I believe there to be and data supports evolutionary underpinnings to this pervasive trait - beyond the scope of this comment). Second, careful scrutiny of real, unfiltered data, coupled with command and knowledge of statistics and probabilities lead ineluctably to certain conclusions/outcomes that political correctness would love to ignore to the ‘innocent’ populace’s detriment and peril. Third, a study emanating from canada is hardly the touchstone for credible ‘universal’ application inasmuch as, though hardly a random sampling, I have personally found canadians to be thieves and criminals without exception thus far in my direct experience. As such, I’d say this specious study to be somewhat self-serving at best, and spurious egalitarian propaganda at worst. Rationally based, meaningful, uncorrupted law and enforcement, though rare, are a prescription for dealing with base human instincts. It may not always be pretty, but reality counts!  ]

 

 

 

 

Why Is It Necessary For The Federal Government To Turn The United States Into A Prison Camp?

{ I really must say that this is a tough one because the vast majority of americans are inherently criminal, with the highest crime rates in the world among the so-called ‘civilized’ nations (you can’t count the niggers of sub-saharan africa as civilized, and there’s no question but that the niggers have disproportionately skewed the american crime rates, particularly violent crimes, higher); including, from my direct observation and experience, that within all three branches of the u.s. government. Indeed, the (should be prison) inmates are running this asylum called america. The reality is that there are so many americans that are not in jail who should be in jail, it’s difficult to avoid these harsh third world measures in what has essentially become a third world nation overrun by the most sordid, despicable criminals one can imagine. They must really prosecute the biggest criminals including the oligarchs as, ie., the huge frauds on wall street, etc., and ‘bury’ the violent repeat offenders, etc., without exception. The problem with america is not the terrorist threat from without, but rather the plethora of inherently criminal americans within. Moreover, the corruption is pervasive and systemic. Unfortunately, crime pays in america and pays well; and, God help you if you try to live within the law and get in their way or potentially cost them money or some of their illegal business because no one else will. There’s criminal control at all levels of american society. That’s the problem; with the relatively few non-criminally inclined, criminal by complicity inasmuch as americans are for the most part gutless cowards who go along to get along along with a million other excuses, not the least of which is ‘the price was right’. That’s reality! That said, it’s the ‘for or agin’ me primitive mentality that pervades the u.s. government, ‘thought police’, arbitrary powers of detainment, abrogation of first admendment rights, internet intrusion/censorship, arbitrary enforcement of the law, etc., that is and I find particularly appalling, counter-productive, and regressive. There is an element of projection, given some of the evil things the government has done abroad; blowback being not entirely out of the realm of possibility which ultimately is the sad consequence of the worst of human nature which is invariably inclined to go too far in the worst way. The sad fact is that as with any banana republic, the governmental powers that be go to whatever nefarious lengths necessary (control by whatever means, at some level) to unreasonably maintain their access to undeserved power, money, resources, luxuries, etc.,  invariably to the detriment of the vast majority as is so here in america today.

Ron Paul Could Still Win Enough Delegates To Deny Mitt Romney The Republican Nomination

http://albertpeia.com/notgoingtohappen.htm

 

{  First, let me say at the outset, that if Ron Paul’s grandmother had had wheels, she’d have been a trolley car. Not going to happen! Second, I include this article on my website as a matter of first amendment principle, encouraged by the authors of their website so to do. Third, and most important, it doesn’t matter what Ron Paul does at this point. He’s totally irrelevant as he’s proven over and over again to be at the end of an atypically grueling primary campaign. Quite simply, with plenty of opportunity to do so, Ron Paul never resonated with the primary voters of his own party, which party he himself chose. In a general election, Ron Paul would be lucky to get (probably the low end of the range of) 15%-25% of the vote. Remember: we’re not talking about a high school debate here, but rather an american general election with all its faults. There isn’t one vote that potentially goes to the failed president obama that couldn’t/wouldn’t as likely go, and upon reflection with rationality the criteria would go to Mitt Romney. Obviously, that’s clearly not the case for Paul. Wobama‘s a jive-talking loser who failed to do what he said he’d do last time around which we now know if he had done this nation and the world would be in a better position this day. Mitt Romney really wants to be President, which of course is not the decisive test. He’s smart enough, and flexible enough (which set up the primary battles to follow) to be President of all the nation. He wanted it, fought for it, and has earned it. At the age of 77, one could only at best say of Ron Paul that he should have started sooner. At worst, given that Paul’s chosen defacto to favor the side of collectively the losers for the proven loser, the mentally troubled b***s*** artist obama; which then makes him no more than a loser himself, and an embittered, senile old man at that. I side with the former missionary, President Mitt Romney and First Lady Ann who I congratulate for their victory in what I further believe will be a blowout victory in November.  }

12 Pictures That Demonstrate How The New World Order Openly Mocks Us

http://albertpeia.com/newworldordervedgesmockus.htm

{ First, let me say that the vedges of the so-called new world order are in no real position to mock anyone, so mockable as they indeed are, as the incompetent vegetables that they in fact are, who have been the very architects of ultimately their own and the planets decline, fall, and demise. Yet, there is no question but that the masses so mocked, deserve to be mocked, having embraced their dismal fate at every turn; viz., their embrace of political correctness, though contraindicated, as, ie., the embrace of the violent, destructive nigger who literally would have them for dinner, or the compulsion to embrace that which the state says is right, though contraindicated, for political expedience owing to failure fed (including the incompetent missteps of the failed fed) desperation, ie., gay marriage, etc., contrived wars / conflicts, among other clearly observable, self-interested behavior of people, companies, nations, including the gargantuan bailed out frauds on wall street to everyones (but the frauds) detriment, still unprosecuted. That the jive-talking, b***s*** artist/grifter/con-man obama has not been held to even one of his former now broken campaign promises and is embraced by those foolish enough to believe more of the same is testament to how deserving of mocking the masses truly are. Make no mistake; the reality is that the new world order/so-called elite are not elite at all; but rather, incompetent vegetables who cant do anything right as theyve now proven time and time again. As I previously said: The Elite Believe That You Are Ruining Their Planet And They Want You To Stop Reproducing

The Elite Are Attempting To Convince Us That Killing Off Our Sick Grandparents Is Cool And Trendy

http://endoftheamericandream.com

[   12 Pictures That Demonstrate How The New World Order Openly Mocks Us http://albertpeia.com/newworldordervedgesmockus.htm  { First, let me say that the vedges of the so-called new world order are in no real position to mock anyone, so mockable as they indeed are, as the incompetent vegetables that they in fact are, who have been the very architects of ultimately their own and the planets decline, fall, and demise. Yet, there is no question but that the masses so mocked, deserve to be mocked, having embraced their dismal fate at every turn; viz., their embrace of political correctness, though contraindicated, as, ie., the embrace of the violent, destructive nigger who literally would have them for dinner, or the compulsion to embrace that which the state says is right, though contraindicated, for political expedience owing to failure fed (including the incompetent missteps of the failed fed) desperation, ie., gay marriage, etc., contrived wars / conflicts, among other clearly observable, self-interested behavior of people, companies, nations, including the gargantuan bailed out frauds on wall street to everyones (but the frauds) detriment, still unprosecuted. That the jive-talking, b***s*** artist/grifter/con-man obama has not been held to even one of his former now broken campaign promises and is embraced by those foolish enough to believe more of the same is testament to how deserving of mocking the masses truly are (people should be outraged and wobama should be ridden out on a rail). Make no mistake; the reality is that the new world order/so-called elite are not elite at all; but rather, incompetent vegetables who cant do anything right as theyve now proven time and time again. As I previously said:

The Elite Believe That You Are Ruining Their Planet And They Want You To Stop Reproducing

http://albertpeia.com/planetalreadyruined.htm    ]

What should be done with elderly Americans when they become very seriously ill?  Should we try to save their lives or should we just let them die?  Unfortunately, there is a growing consensus among the "intellectual elite" that most elderly people are not going to have a high enough "quality of life" to justify the expense of costly life saving procedures.  This philosophy is now being promoted very heavily through mainstream news outlets, in our television shows and in big Hollywood movies.  The elite are attempting to convince us that killing off our sick grandparents is cool and trendy.  We are being told that "pulling the plug" on grandma and grandpa is compassionate (because it will end their suffering), that it is good for the environment and that it is even good for the economy.  We are being told that denying life saving treatments to old people will dramatically reduce health care costs and make the system better for all of us. We are being told that it is not "efficient" for health insurance companies to shell out $100,000 for an operation that may extend the life of an elderly person by 6 months.  But the truth is that all of this is part of a larger agenda that the elite are attempting to advance.  As I have written about previously, the elite love death, and they truly believe that reducing the population is good for society and good for the planet.  Sadly, population control propaganda has reached a fever pitch in recent months.

Time Magazine has just come out with a very shocking cover story entitled "How To Die".  The article goes on and on about how wonderful and compassionate it is to remove life saving treatment from sick relatives.

A recent article by Mike Adams summarized the message of this disgusting article....

Inside, the magazine promotes a cost-saving death agenda that encourages readers to literally pull the feeding tubes from their dying elderly parents, causing them to dehydrate and die. This is explained as a new cost-saving measure that drastically reduces return hospital visits by the elderly yeah, because dead people dont return to the hospital, of course.

Many of you also probably remember the Newsweek cover story from a couple years ago that was entitled "The Case for Killing Granny".

Underneath that shocking title was the following phrase: Curbing excessive end-of-life care is good for America.

According to the author of that article, spending less money on the elderly is the key to successful health care reform....

The idea that we might ration health care to seniors (or anyone else) is political anathema. Politicians do not dare breathe the R word, lest they be accusedhowever wronglyof trying to pull the plug on Grandma. But the need to spend less money on the elderly at the end of life is the elephant in the room in the health-reform debate. Everyone sees it but no one wants to talk about it. At a more basic level, Americans are afraid not just of dying, but of talking and thinking about death. Until Americans learn to contemplate death as more than a scientific challenge to be overcome, our health-care system will remain unfixable.

Sadly, articles like that one are becoming quite frequent in mainstream media sources.

Just a few days ago, a Bloomberg article entitled "How 'Death Panels' Can Prolong Life" declared that we must "deny treatment to people who want it" in order to hold down costs....

In short, all the Republican talk during the health-care- reform debate about death panels was melodramatic and unfair, but not ridiculous. One way or another, holding down health-care costs will require policies that deny treatment to people who want it. And want it because it will extend their lives.

This goes on already, all the time. Health insurance companies have been known to deny payment for treatments deemed unnecessary. Age limits for organ transplants are another example. All policies that involve denying care because of quality of life considerations are, in effect, death panels. But no society can afford to give every citizen every possible therapy. Medicare is going broke trying.

So who are we supposed to deny treatment to?

The elderly of course.

According to that Bloomberg article, we are supposed to kill off our sick grandparents because the "quality of life" they would be expected to have if they recover would not be enough to warrant spending so much to save them....

A $200,000 operation can add a year or two to the life of an octogenarian, or it can save decades of life for younger people. In a country like the U.S., with an average life expectancy of 78.5, it takes 10 septuagenarians who get an extra five years from the health-care system to balance a single 30- year-old who gets 50 extra years. Or save the life of a newborn, who then enjoys a normal life span and dies at 78.5, and you have the same impact on national life expectancy as 16 operations on septuagenarians. The average national life expectancy can increase even as the cost goes down.

This is the kind of thinking that starts happening in a society that dramatically devalues life.

If human life has little value, then it is easy to start justifying things that would have once been unthinkable.

For example, one surgeon is now suggesting that we should start harvesting organs from patients before they die....

Dr. Paul Morrissey, an associate professor of surgery at Brown University's Alpert Medical School, wrote in The American Journal of Bioethics that the protocol known as donation after cardiac death -- meaning death as a result of irreversible damage to the cardiovascular system -- has increased the number of organs available for transplant, but has a number of limitations, including the need to wait until the heart stops.

Because of the waiting time, Morrissey said that about one-third of potential donors end up not being able to donate, and many organs turn out to not be viable as a result.

Instead, he argues in favor of procuring kidneys from patients with severe irreversible brain injury whose families consent to kidney removal before their cardiac and respiratory systems stop functioning.

Do you want your organs harvested before you are dead?

Sadly, those that often do need organ transplants the most these days are often denied for "quality of life" issues as well.

For example, at one U.S. hospital a 3-year-old girl named Amelia was denied a kidney transplant that she desperately needed simply because she is considered to be "mentally retarded".

These are the kinds of decisions that are being made by doctors and by health insurance companies all over America every day.

And did you know that life-ending drugs are going to be 100% free under Obamacare?

I did not know this until I read a Christian Post article the other day....

A Christian-based legal defense alliance is warning Americans who already believe that President Barack Obama's health care plan is a bad idea that the "ObamaCare mandate is worse than you think."

"Everyone likes a good surprise, but no one likes a bad surprise. So, you're really not going to like the surprises buried in the 2,700 pages of this document," says the narrator of a short video produced by the Alliance Defense Fund.

"Did you know that with ObamaCare you will have to pay for life-saving drugs, but life-ending drugs are free. One hundred percent free. If this plan were really about health care wouldn't it be the other way around?"

Apparently they want to make it as easy to off yourself and your relatives as possible.

So where is all of this headed?

Are we eventually going to become like the Netherlands?

In the Netherlands, mobile euthanasia teams are now going door to door to help elderly patients end their lives in the comfort of their own homes.

Is that what we want?

Do we want government agents going door to door to help people die?

As I have written about previously, the elite believe that the world is massively overpopulated and they believe that all of us are ruining their planet.

So they love euthanasia, abortion and pretty much anything else that will result in more people ending up dead. What are your thoughts about all of this?  Please feel free to post a comment with your opinion below....

Yet, make no mistake, those who equate shale oil, deep water oil, etc., with that close to the surface, easily recovered, ie., sweet crude, are as misguided. Its kind of like that asteroid mining thats become the rage. Firstly, in hollywood (oh yeah, weve seen them digitally land on asteroids, planets as in Avatar, etc., with ease and without a hitch), they dont keep books the way other businesses do, at least on the creative end, viz., ie., Cameron. And, what do you expect a former pilot to say, etc.? As an example of fuel price makes a difference, anyone who thinks american airlines among others went bankrupt because theyre so horribly managed or because they felt like strategically avoiding their debt would be mistaken. For airlines its all about fuel costs and load factors, capital intensive that they are, and pennies literally do make a difference. Costs of extraction make a difference. Oh sure, theres loads of oil. Its all about the costs of getting it. Peak oil really has been reached in terms of easy pickins. Some even argue/document persuasively that current reserves of the easy pickins are over-stated.  ]

Monarchies are supposed to be antithetical to freedom.  Under feudalistic monarchism, the notion of personal liberty took a backseat to loyalty to the king.  Those who werent part of or close to the nobility were referred to as subjects.  These peasants were to serve without question. Today, the only difference between the systematic malfeasance and plunder that existed under the rule of monarchs and that which defines the state is the ballot box.  Voters in a sense get to choose a small portion of their rulers.  This gives them the mirage of freedom when the nation-state they inhabit is no less than a contemporary field of serfdom lorded over by kings.  Too much of the public still behaves with the mindset of servants.  They are pathetically docile to those who hold the keys of their shackles.   What the celebration of Queen Elizabeths sixty year rule showed is that the people of Great Britain never really escaped from monarchy.  See also,  http://albertpeia.com/esotericagenda.flv

17-Year-Old Girl Included On Obamas Secret Kill List

Americans target of state-sponsored assassination program

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Tuesday, May 29, 2012

President Barack Obama’s unconstitutional secret ‘kill list’ includes a 17-year-old girl along with several American citizens, according to a New York Times report.

Mr. Obama has placed himself at the helm of a top secret nominations process to designate terrorists for kill or capture, of which the capture part has become largely theoretical. He had vowed to align the fight against Al Qaeda with American values; the chart, introducing people whose deaths he might soon be asked to order, underscored just what a moral and legal conundrum this could be, reports the NY Times, adding that one of the targets in Yemen is a girl who looked even younger than her 17 years, and that Several were Americans.

The White House has asserted the right to carry out state-sponsored assassination anywhere in the world without having to provide any evidence or go through any legal process. The administration merely has to state that the target is a terrorist and it doesnt matter whether they are an American citizen or not, as we saw in the case of American-born Anwar al-Awlaki and his son, who were both killed last year.

In December, Obama administration lawyers reaffirmed their backing for state sponsored assassination, claiming that U.S. citizens are legitimate military targets and do not have the right to any legal protection against being marked for summary execution.

During a CBS 60 Minutes interview in January, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta revealed that Obama himself personally approves the policy to kill American citizens suspected of terrorism without trial on a case by case basis.

“So it’s the requirement of the administration under the current legal understanding that the president has to make that declaration, not you?” Panetta was asked, to which he replied, “That is correct.”

The fact that the administration is carrying out state-sponsored assassination with absolutely no regard to legal due process in the name of fighting Al-Qaeda is particularly brazen given the fact that the US has backed Al-Qaeda terrorists in both Libya and Syria in the effort to overthrow Colonel Gaddafi and Bashar Al-Assad.

In the USA, it is illegal to impose executions on people under 18, something that most Democrats would support, I suppose. Yet, their vaunted president, Barack Obama, has declared that a 17-year-old girl is to be gunned down if American spies can find her, writes Bill Anderson.

Somehow, I doubt that there will be a peep of protest about that at the Democratic National Convention this summer. And, to make things even more depressing, Im sure that the Republicans will claim that Obama is soft on terrorism and is too timid to launch the U.S. Killing Machine in full force. So it has come to this: Washington, D.C., is the new home of Murder, Inc.

Given that spy drones used to hunt down insurgents in Afghanistan and Iraq are now not only being deployed domestically but also armed with non-lethal weapons, how long before such technology is used to assassinate American citizens on U.S. soil based on the mere claim that the target is a terrorist?  http://albertpeia.com/20signsamericaoverrunbypsychos.htm

Evidence Obama Born In Kenya Goes Beyond 1991 Brochure

Paul Joseph Watson | Establishment media pulls stunt in effort to diffuse birther controversy.

Establishment media pulls stunt in effort to diffuse birther controversy

Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com Friday, May 18, 2012

The establishment media hastily seized on yesterdays explosive story about a literary publication listing Barack Obamas birthplace as Kenya in an effort to claim that the 1991 brochure was the origin of the entire birther issue. In reality, evidence that Obama was born in the African country is abundant.

A literary agents promotional text for a 1991 brochure released yesterday by Breitbart.com states Obama was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.

Yahoo News, along with a deluge of other mainstream news outlets, responded by reporting that the document was potentially the source of the birther controversy and had merely been a mistake.

The literary agent who wrote the description, Miriam Goderich, now works with Dystel & Goderich agency, which lists Obama as one of its clients. Unsurprising therefore that Goderich hastily claimed listing Obamas birthplace as Kenya was nothing more than a fact checking error.

However, evidence to indicate that Obama war born in Kenya is plentiful and it goes significantly beyond the 1991 version of the brochure.

- Despite claiming the passage about Obamas birthplace being Kenya was a mistake, the listing still maintained that Obamas birthplace was Kenya until after Obama became a U.S. Senator. Goderichs statement fails to explain why the fact checking error persisted for sixteen years, through at least three different versions of Jane Dystels website, and through at least four different versions of Obamas biography, reports Breitbart.com.

- The literary agency also updated the text in June 1998, but the part about Obama being born in Kenya was retained.

- The text was again updated in February 2005 to reflect the fact that Obama had become a Senator, but Kenya was still listed as his birthplace.

- After an April 2007 modification of the text, the passage still read Obama, was born in Kenya.

- As Steve Boman reveals, the Dystel & Goderich agency asks its clients to submit their own biography, meaning its virtually impossible the listing of Obamas birthplace as Kenya could have been a fact checking error on behalf of the literary company itself.

- During a speech about HIV, First Lady Michelle Obama said she and Barack Obama visited his home country of Kenya. Watch the clip below.

- In 2008, Obamas paternal step grandmother appeared to indicate publicly that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. In an interview conducted by American Christian minister Ron McRae, Sarah Obama was asked, Were you present when your grandson was born in Kenya?’” McRae testified in his sworn statement. This was asked to her in translation twice, and both times she replied, Yes! Yes she was! She was present when Obama was born.

- Another source who met Sarah Obama told World Net Daily, I have keenly and attentively listened to the tape over and over again, and I can confirm from Sarahs own confession that Barack Obama was born in Kenya in her presence.

- A separate Kenyan government official agreed, stating, I have listened to the tape. The preacher asked whether Barack Obama was born in Mombassa, and the translator asked the same. When she said Mombassa, it was like a surprise, and those there thought she could not have meant to say Mombassa.

- When New York Times bestselling author Jerome Corsi traveled to Kenya to investigate the claims, he was almost immediately kicked out of the country by Kenyan officials.

- When Kenyas National Security Intelligence Service investigated claims that Obama was born in Kenya, officials in Nairobi found relevant birth records may have been removed or were missing.

- Obama has deep political connections in Kenya. From 2006 onwards he rallied in support of Islamist Raila Odinga in Kenya, helping him impose Sharia law. When Odinga lost the Kenyan election in 2008, his supporters rioted, unleashing a wave of violence. Despite the bloodshed, Obama used his influence to aid Odinga in retaining his position as part of a coalition government.

For the mainstream media to imply that the 1991 brochure is the source of the claim that Obama was born in Kenya is completely inaccurate. Not only was that brochure updated many times right up until 2007, with the information about Obamas birthplace being Kenya retained, but there are numerous other factors which all indicate that Kenya could indeed be Obamas homeland.

National Movement Launched To Impeach Obama

Paul Joseph Watson | The five core reasons why Obama should be impeached.

THE FIVE CORE REASONS WHY OBAMA SHOULD BE IMPEACHED

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Thursday, April 12, 2012

A new national movement has been launched to impeach President Obama based around five core issues which clearly demonstrate how Obama has flagrantly violated the Constitution.

The campaign, backed by director, producer, actor and writer Sean Stone, is a follow-up to North Carolina Republican Walter Jones efforts to bring the administration to account for launching unconstitutional wars without the authorization of Congress. Jones recently introduced resolution states that such actions represent an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor.

The five core reasons for impeachment proceedings to be launched can be summarized as follows;

#1) Despite promising otherwise, Barack Obama committed U.S. military resources to overthrow Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi without any kind of congressional authorization whatsoever and without citing any evidence that Libya under Gaddafi was a threat to the security of the United States. Furthermore, Obama brazenly undermined the power of Congress by insisting his authority came from the United Nations Security Council and that Congressional approval was not necessary. I dont even have to get to the Constitutional question, Obama churlishly remarked.

#2) On New Years Eve 2011, Obama signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act which includes provisions that permit the abduction and military detention without trial of U.S. citizens. Despite Obama claiming he would not use the provisions to incarcerate U.S. citizens, it was his administration that specifically demanded these powers be included in the final NDAA bill.

#3) The passage of the Obamacare bill, under which Americans will be forced to buy health insurance, is clearly anathema to the Constitution. The individual mandate is unprecedented and exceeds Congresss power to regulate interstate commerce. If it is allowed to stand, Congress will be able to impose any kind of economic mandate as part of any kind of national regulatory scheme, writes Ilya Shapiro, a Senior Fellow in Constitutional Studies, Cato Institute.

#4) Obamas role in the economic looting of America since he took office is unprecedented. Specifically, Obama violated the Constitutions Takings and Due Process Clauses when he bullied the secured creditors of automaker Chrysler into accepting 30 cents on the dollar while politically connected labor unions and preferential others received better deals.

#5) Finally, Obamas use of signing statements shows his desire to continue in the vein of George W. Bush and rule by executive fiat. This is a direct violation of Article II of the Constitution.

You can support this effort to get political momentum behind starting the impeachment process against Obama by forwarding this article and video to your network on Facebook, Twitter, You Tube and every other platform of communication.

If the makers of Kony 2012 can receive international viral coverage for putting out a film that was little more than a veiled call for another unconstitutional invasion, this call to impeach Obama deserves equal attention.

US Internet Criminalization Now Pursued at State Level Conn. Attacked The Daily Bell
Tuesday, April 3, 2012

ACLU Blasts Electronic Harassment Bill; Says It Criminalizes Free Speech The American Civil Liberties Union of Connecticut is blasting a bill proposed by state prosecutors that would make electronic harassment a crime including such acts as posting information on the Internet that has the effect of causing substantial embarrassment or humiliation to [a] person within an academic or professional community. The bill, which comes up for a public hearing by the legislatures judiciary committee Thursday, criminalizes speech that is protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution, said Sandra Staub, legal director for the state ACLU. Its vague. Its overbroad. For example, Staub said, it contains no standards for substantially interfering with someones academic performance. N Hartford Courant

Dominant Social Theme: Now SOPA moves to the states. Good.

Free-Market Analysis: These bills are all about the criminalizing of the Internet. Now that SOPA has been pushed back on the federal front, the action is turning to the states. The idea, in our view, is to whittle away at the Internet bit by bit. Create precedent at the state level and then move in again at the federal level.

The powers-that-be dont like the Internet or what we call the Internet Reformation that has changed the context of the power debate in the US and throughout the world.

The Internet has exposed the memes of the elite, the dominant social themes that are used to promote world government by scaring people into cooperating with internationalist facilities like the UN.

The powers-that-be are using the same strategies as regards the Internet. They are trying to convince people that a series of organized electrons are as a dangerous as a dark alley on a bad side of town. The Internet needs to be seriously policed and criminalized.

SOPA itself was an attempt at this criminalization. Heres something from Wikipedia on the bill, which has not passed thus far:

The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is a United States bill introduced by U.S. Representative Lamar S. Smith (R-TX) to expand the ability of U.S. law enforcement to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods. Provisions include the requesting of court orders to bar advertising networks and payment facilities from conducting business with infringing websites, and search engines from linking to the sites, and court orders requiring Internet service providers to block access to the sites. The law would expand existing criminal laws to include unauthorized streaming of copyrighted content, imposing a maximum penalty of five years in prison. A similar bill in the U.S. Senate is titled the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA).

Whether or not these bills are being written by well-meaning people, they have the result of turning a free-speech arena into a criminally patrolled environment. As a result, communication will suffer and the ability of people to explain to each other the Way the World Works will also degrade. Heres more from the article excerpted above:

As the bill is written, someone could be charged with electronic harassment and, theoretically, jailed for up to a year and fined $2,000 because the crime would be a class A misdemeanor if he or she posted information about a person that was true, Staub said. For example, she said, even if a student posted accurate information on Facebook saying that a certain professor had committed misconduct in the past, and that professor found it embarrassing or humiliating, the professor could ask the police to arrest the student.

Civil statutes and long-established case law already deal with allegations of defamation a person can sue for slander or libel if his or her reputation is damaged by untrue information and theres no need to criminalize the issue, Staub said.

The virtue of civil defamation law is that a person cannot be held liable for defamation if the offending statement is true, Staub said, noting that the electronic harassment bill, as written, even removes truth as a defense.

Besides, Staub said, in a free society citizens should be able to offer negative opinions that may not even be absolute fact. Students should be allowed to rate the performance of professors, for example, by offering criticisms that they are inept or seem to take their lectures right out of some textbook, Staub said. We have a constitutional right to annoy, bother, and offend, basically.

Whatever else the ACLU may be, they have moments when they perform a real service, as in this case. There is nothing on the Internet that needs another law to confront it, as Staub herself notes. Moreover, there are already criminal laws under which people are arrested for threatening and harassing others, she said. These existing criminal statutes contain well-established standards for what constitutes a crime such as making statements to a person that cause him or her to fear physical harm.

Perhaps a key point made in the article is a statement by Staub that the bill, Senate Bill 456, has emerged seemingly out of nowhere, relatively far into the legislative session I have no idea why this bill is here.’”

We think we do, though. The US is apparently in the grip of directed history. A small criminal clique has grasped control of the US and is driving the country and the world toward global government. The Internet stands in their way and they will destroy it if they can.

Who knows if the Connecticut bill will go anywhere. It is overly broad, to say the least. But its introduction in Connecticut a fascist mess of a state is notable.

It does seem, in our humble view, to mark another expansion of the elites war against the Internet in the US. Perhaps there are similar initiatives being pursued in other states as well.

Conclusion: They begin at the federal level. Thats the first and simplest option. But now they are likely starting to work their way down to state and even municipal levels if necessary. This is how the dialectic is pursued.

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?

APNewsBreak: Marine critical of Obama faces charge [ This one caught my eye. While it is true that good soldiering requires absolute discipline by definition, oaths should be taken seriously, honored, and given effect. That said, burning Qurans was the product I assume of orders reflecting even more than just stupidity; hence, whoever gave the order should  pay the piper. If no order, and stupidity as with urinating on the bodies of the dead, can and should the actors be held accountable for such gross stupidity? Absolutely! However, one must be mindful of the reality that marines invariably have ‘skin in the game’ when it comes to consequences of commanders in chief incompetence, unlawful acts, poor judgment particularly as impacted by questionable mental states (arbitrarily taking the last three presidents as illustrative, viz., clinton, bush, obama certainly reflect this reality and concern coupled with the unnecessary murderous results of their actions). There has been a longstanding rebuke of the ‘just following orders’ defense accorded soldiers since particularly the nazi regime as an example. As such, Stein certainly should be lauded for saying what all soldiers should already know; namely, the unlawful detention of americans, among other constitutionally barred activities should not be among those orders they are willing to follow. The proscriptions of posse comitatus should also serve as a guide. This is particularly important given the fragile mental state of americans generally, and america’s leadership especially. No longer is it, if ever it was, true that americans can be trusted to do the right thing. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Wobama is a desperate and incompetent failure as president whose invariable breach of campaign promises is a testament to his unsuitability for the office he currently occupies; and, one can only thank Stein for recognizing what could devolve into a much more serious and devastating scenario for the nation owing to wobama’s ever increasing political desperation. Broadly and generally, murky areas as this, even involving the military, should be resolved in favor of free speech, first amendment guarantees and against censorship.  Guest Post: The Ascendence Of Sociopaths In US GovernanceHow did we get here? An argument can be made that miscalculation, accident, inattention and the like are why things go bad. Those elements do have a role, but it is minor. Potential catastrophe across the board can't be the result of happenstance. When things go wrong on a grand scale, it's not just bad luck or inadvertence. It's because of serious character flaws in one or many – or even all – of the players. So is there a root cause of all the problems I've cited? If we can find it, it may tell us how we personally can best respond to the problems. In this article, I'm going to argue that the US government, in particular, is being overrun by the wrong kind of person. It's a trend that's been in motion for many years but has now reached a point of no return. In other words, a type of moral rot has become so prevalent that it's institutional in nature. There is not going to be, therefore, any serious change in the direction in which the US is headed until a genuine crisis topples the existing order. Until then, the trend will accelerate. The reason is that a certain class of people – sociopaths – are now fully in control of major American institutions. Their beliefs and attitudes are insinuated throughout the economic, political, intellectual and psychological/spiritual fabric of the US.

"Cybersecurity" Bill Is Broad Enough to Use Against WikiLeaks and The Pirate Bay

The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011, introduced by Rep. Mike Rogers and Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, allows companies or the government free rein to bypass existing laws in order to monitor communications, filter content, or potentially even shut down access to online services for "cybersecurity purposes." Companies are encouraged to share data with the government and with one another, and the government can share data in return. The idea is to facilitate detection of and defense against a serious cyber threat, but the language is so broad it could be used as a blunt instrument to attack websites like The Pirate Bay or WikiLeaks. Join EFF in calling on Congress to stop the Rogers cybersecurity bill.

Fake YouTube Site Targets Syrian Activists With Malware

EFF has previously reported on two instances of pro-Syrian-government malware targeting Syrian activists through links sent in chats and emails. Now we've seen new Windows malware dropped by a fake YouTube site hosting Syrian opposition videos. The fake YouTube page attacks users in two ways: it requires you to enter your YouTube login credentials in order to leave comments, and it installs malware disguised as an Adobe Flash Player update.

Why Are Millions Of Americans Preparing For Doomsday? http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com  http://albertpeia.com/preparingfordoomsday.htm

 

USA #1? 40 Embarrassing Things That America Is The Best In The World At  http://endoftheamericandream.com  http://albertpeia.com/40badthingsusa#1.htm Is the USA still #1?  Well, there are many things that America is still the best in the world at, but unfortunately a lot of those categories are nothing to be proud of.  Once upon a time the United States was the greatest nation on earth, but now we are a nation that is in a horrific state of decline.  Just consider a few of the embarrassing things that America leads the world in: obesity, crime, divorce, teen pregnancy, child abuse deaths and government debt.  The statistics that you are about to read below are incredibly disturbing.  Most people that write these kinds of articles about the decline of America hate this country.  But that is not the case with me.  I was born and raised in America and I love this nation deeply.  It is time to realize that we will never be able to start fixing our problems until we take a really good look in the mirror and realize just how far we have fallen.  America is not the country that it once was.  America is a complete and total mess and just "tweaking" a few things here and there is not going to return this nation to its former glory.  We have forgotten the things that once made us great, and if we do not return to them we will continue to fall apart as a nation.

With that being said, the following are 40 embarrassing things that America is the best in the world at....

#1 America has the highest incarceration rate and the largest total prison population in the entire world by a good margin.

#2 There are more car thefts in the United States than anywhere else in the world by far.

#3 Of all the major industrialized nations, America is the most obese.  Mexico is #2.

#4 The average American drinks more than 600 sodas a year - the most in the world.

#5 U.S. corporations sell more fast food and more soda than anyone else in the world by a wide margin.

#6 Nobody watches more television per week (28 hours) than Americans do.  Although to be honest, people living in the UK are tied with us.

#7 The United States leads the world in credit card fraud.

#8 The United States has the highest percentage of one person households on the entire planet.

#9 The United States has the highest divorce rate in the world by a good margin.

#10 The United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the world by far.

#11 There are more school shootings in America than anywhere else in the world.

#12 The United States has the highest child abuse death rate in the world.

#13 There are more "deaths by reptile" in America than anywhere else in the world.

#14 The United States has the most lawyers per capita in the entire world.

#15 The United States produces more pornography than any other nation in the world.

#16 Americans take more prescription drugs than anyone else in the world.

#17 More is spent on prescription drug advertising in America than anywhere else in the world.

#18 The percentage of women taking antidepressants in America is higher than in any other country in the world.

#19 More people have been diagnosed with mental disorders in America than anywhere else on earth.

#20 The United States has the highest rate of illegal drug use on the entire globe.

#21 There is more credit card debt in America than anywhere else in the world.

#22 There is more mortgage debt in America than anywhere else in the world.

#23 There is more student loan debt in America than anywhere else in the world.

#24 The United States spends more money on government schools than any other nation on earth does.

#25 U.S. citizens spend more time in school than anyone else in the world.  So why are so many of us dumb as a rock?

#26 Nobody in the world gets more plastic surgery done than Americans do.

#27 The United States leads the world in eating disorder deaths.

#28 According to nationmaster.com, the United States has the most total reported crimes in the world by far.

#29 Nobody has more airport security thugs groping women and children than America does.

#30 The United States spends much more on health care as a percentage of GDP than any other nation on the face of the earth.

#31 The United States has the most complicated tax system on the entire planet.

#32 The United States has the most laws on the entire planet.

#33 The United States spends more on the military than the next 12 nations combined, and yet the Obama administration is considering plans to unilaterally slash the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal by up to 80 percent.

#34 The United States has the most foreign military bases in the world by far.

#35 The United States exports more arms to other countries than anyone else in the world.

#36 Americans spend more time sitting in traffic than anyone else in the world.

#37 Americans spend more money on elections than anyone else does in the world by a very wide margin.

#38 Every single year, the United States has the largest trade deficit in the world by far.

#39 The U.S. government wastes more money than any other government on earth does.

#40 The United States has accumulated the biggest mountain of government debt in the history of the world.

So is the USA #1?

Unfortunately, the answer way too often is yes.

The goal of this list of embarrassing things is not to trash America.

Rather, the goal is to wake Americans up and to get them to realize what has happened to us.

We should be deeply humbled and embarrassed as a nation.  We were once the best in the world and the envy of the entire globe, but now the whole world is laughing at us.

America is supposed to be a beacon of liberty, freedom and prosperity for the entire planet.

Instead, we are rapidly turning into a horror show.

Wake up America.  The condition of our country is absolutely shameful, and every single day it gets even worse.

Please share this list with as many people as you can.  The American people need a massive wake up call, and it is up to those of us that are awake to share the truth while we still can.

 

 

 

They Love Death  http://endoftheamericandream.com http://albertpeia.com/theylovedeath.htm

Have you ever known someone that loves death?  When someone truly is in love with death, it can take that person to a very dark place.  Unfortunately, there are a growing number of scientists, politicians and global opinion makers that believe that we must reduce the size of the human population for the good of the planet.  They are convinced that humanity is causing global warming, killing off other species and making this planet unlivable.  In their quest to save the future of the planet, they are becoming bolder and bolder with their calls for population control.  They love death because they believe that it will help save the earth.  They figure that with less humans around, there will be less carbon emissions, less pollution and more room for other species.  So how will this be achieved?  Well, as you will read about in the rest of this article, "after-birth abortions", "mobile euthanasia teams", "sperm-destroying ultrasound technology" and putting contraceptives in the tap water are just some of the ways that are being proposed to reduce current human numbers.  This hatred of life and love of death is being taught in colleges and universities all over the western world, and this population control philosophy is becoming increasingly dominant with each passing year.

I realize that the idea of "mobile euthanasia teams" may sound like something out of a science fiction movie, but the truth is that this is not just a "pie in the sky" concept.

In fact, in the Netherlands six mobile euthanasia teams are now going door-to-door to help elderly patients end their lives in the comfort of their own homes.

The following description of this program comes from a recent article in The Independent....

The project, which has provoked sharp criticism from doctors, is the brainchild of the Dutch largely donor-funded Right to Die NL. It follows the government's 2002 decision to legalise euthanasia, making the Netherlands the first country in the world to do so. Walburg de Jong, a spokeswoman for the organisation said that since the ruling some 3,100 assisted suicides had been carried out annually. The mobile euthanasia teams, she said, operated free of charge and were designed to make it easier for patients enduring interminable suffering to end their lives.

Can you imagine your grandparents getting a visit someday from a mobile euthanasia team?

But it is not just the elderly that are being targeted for death.

Two scientists recently made headlines all over the world when they released a paper calling for the legalization of ''after-birth abortion''.

Alberto Giubilini of Monash University in Melbourne, Australia and Francesca Minerva of the University of Melbourne co-authored an article in the Journal of Medical Ethics entitled "After-birth abortion: why should the baby live?"

In their paper, they argue that a baby is just a "potential person" and that "killing a newborn should be permissible in all the cases where abortion is, including cases where the newborn is not disabled."

Giubilini and Minerva argue that just because a baby is human does not mean that it has any rights.  The follow quote is from their paper....

"Merely being human is not in itself a reason for ascribing someone a right to life. Indeed, many humans are not considered subjects of a right to life: spare embryos where research on embryo stem cells is permitted, fetuses where abortion is permitted, criminals where capital punishment is legal"

Giubilini and Minerva also believe that the "burden" placed on the family and on society by a new baby must be given precedence when it comes to matters of live and death.  The following is another quote from their paper....

"To bring up such children might be an unbearable burden on the family and on society as a wholeOn these grounds, the fact that a foetus has the potential to become a person who will have an (at least) acceptable life is no reason for prohibiting abortion."

Giubilini and Minerva insist that "after-birth abortions" would have a lot of advantages.

For example, approximately a third of all babies with Down syndrome are not diagnosed in the womb.  After-birth abortions would take care of that "problem" by allowing mothers to "terminate" those children after they have been born.

Other scientists aren't just concerned about giving the elderly and new mothers more "choices".  Many are now advocating the implementation of strict global measures to reduce the human population for the sake of the environment.

For example, Colorado State University Professor Philip Cafaro recently released a paper entitled "Climate Ethics and Population Policy".  In that paper, Cafaro declared that humans are committing "interspecies genocide" and that therefore it is imperative to reduce our numbers....

"Scientists now speak of humanitys increased demands and impacts on the globe as ushering in a new geological epoch: the Anthropocene. Such selfish and destructive appropriation of the resources of the Earth can only be described as interspecies genocide."

For Cafaro, simply stopping the growth of the human population on earth is not enough.  He says that in order to prevent "catastrophic global climate change" we are going to have to "significantly" reduce the size of the global population....

"Ending human population growth is almost certainly a necessary (but not sufficient) condition for preventing catastrophic global climate change. Indeed, significantly reducing current human numbers may be necessary in order to do so."

Unfortunately, a love of death is now widespread at U.S. colleges and universities.  For example, Professor of Biology at the University of Texas at Austin Eric R. Pianka once wrote the following....

I do not bear any ill will toward people. However, I am convinced that the world, including all humanity, WOULD clearly be much better off without so many of us.

Population control is something that Bill Gates has been putting a lot of funding into as well.  The following example comes from a recent Natural News article....

Mass vaccination is apparently not the only depopulation strategy being employed by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, as new research funded by the organization has developed a way to deliberately destroy sperm using ultrasound technology. BBC News reports that the Gates Foundation awarded a grant to researchers from the University of North Carolina (UNC) to develop this new method of contraception.

For their study, the UNC team tested ultrasound on lab rats and found that two 15-minute doses "significantly reduced" both sperm counts and sperm integrity. When administered two days apart through warm salt water, ultrasound caused the rats' sperm counts to drop below ten million sperm per milliliter, which is five million less than the "sub-fertile" range, and stay that way for up to six months.

Sadly, it is not just a few scientists and opinion makers that are obsessed with death and population control.

As I have written about previously, the United Nations continues to push Agenda 21 on the entire globe.  The following is how the United Nations defines Agenda 21....

Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment.

The United Nations publishes report after report calling for more "global governance" over the environment.  The following comes from a recent Fox News article....

The report, 21 Issues for the 21st Century, from the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) Foresight Process, is the culmination of a two-year deliberative process involving 22 core scientists. It is expected to receive considerable attention in the run-up to the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, which will be held in Rio, Brazil, in June.

The scientists who wrote the report say it focuses on identifying emerging issues in the global environment, and that it is not about mandating solutions.

But its critics see an agenda lurking in its 60 pages, which call for a complete overhaul of how the world's food and water are created and distributed -- something the report says is urgently needed for the human race to keep feeding and hydrating itself safely.

But it isn't just food and water that the United Nations wants control over.

The truth is that the United Nations is absolutely obsessed with the number of people living on the planet.

In a recent report entitled, "Resilient People, Resilient Planet: A Future Worth Choosing" the UN warned about our "unsustainable lifestyles" and of the disastrous impact of population growth....

But what, then, is to be done if we are to make a real difference for the worlds people and the planet? We must grasp the dimensions of the challenge. We must recognize that the drivers of that challenge include unsustainable lifestyles, production and consumption patterns and the impact of population growth. As the global population grows from 7 billion to almost 9 billion by 2040, and the number of middle-class consumers increases by 3 billion over the next 20 years, the demand for resources will rise exponentially. By 2030, the world will need at least 50 percent more food, 45 percent more energy and 30 percent more water all at a time when environmental boundaries are throwing up new limits to supply. This is true not least for climate change, which affects all aspects of human and planetary health.

We are constantly being told these days that the problem is that there are "too many people" and that if there are less people things will be better.

Members of the U.S. government are even preaching this philosophy.

Just the other day, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius was publicly proclaiming that the new requirement that all health insurance plans cover sterilizations and contraceptives will be good for employers and health insurance companies because it will mean less births.  She argued that the savings from less people being born will more than make up for the expense of the sterilizations and the contraceptives.

Sebelius told Congress the following on Thursday....

"The reduction in the number of pregnancies compensates for the cost of contraception"

Other members of the Obama administration are preaching the population control gospel as well.  U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has even stated that population control will be a "centerpiece" of U.S. foreign policy from now on.

We even find a love of death in the White House.  Barack Obama's top science advisor, John P. Holdren, once wrote the following....

"A program of sterilizing women after their second or third child, despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than vasectomy, might be easier to implement than trying to sterilize men.

The development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin and removed when pregnancy is desired opens additional possibilities for coercive fertility control. The capsule could be implanted at puberty and might be removable, with official permission, for a limited number of births."

That quote should send a chill up your bones.

In America today, life is considered to be cheap, and that is especially true if you are "disabled" or "defective" in any way.

At one U.S. hospital, a 3-year-old girl named Amelia was recently denied a kidney transplant because she is considered to be "mentally retarded".

How would you feel if that was your child?

Unfortunately, society continues to move away from the idea that life is inherently valuable and deserves to be preserved.

In fact, many top global opinion makers are openly calling for a dramatic reduction in human numbers.

CNN Founder Ted Turner once said the following....

"A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal."

For many more shocking quotes about population control from scientists, politicians and top global opinion makers, just check out this article which I published previously.

The world is becoming a very heartless place.

Those at the top look down on the rest of us as if we were vermin that need to be exterminated.

Increasingly, this sick population control agenda is being preached at us in the mainstream media.  For example, just check out what the editorial page editor of The Detroit News says should be done in Michigan....

Since the national attention is on birth control, here's my idea: If we want to fight poverty, reduce violent crime and bring down our embarrassing drop-out rate, we should swap contraceptives for fluoride in Michigan's drinking water.

We've got a baby problem in Michigan. Too many babies are born to immature parents who don't have the skills to raise them, too many are delivered by poor women who can't afford them, and too many are fathered by sorry layabouts who spread their seed like dandelions and then wander away from the consequences.

Michigan's social problems and the huge costs attached to them won't recede until we embrace reproductive responsibility.

He is seriously proposing to put contraceptives into our drinking water?

How can people be so twisted?

Sadly, as I mentioned earlier, this philosophy is being endlessly preached at thousands of colleges and universities all over the world.

The sick adherents of this philosophy love death and are obsessed with controlling the population of the earth.

They are just going to keep pushing their agenda further and further and further.

They truly believe that they must reduce our numbers in order to save the planet.

But in their zeal to "save the earth" they may take all of us to a very, very dark place…’

Hazards of Digital Locks Provisions: Censorship Fears in Canada's C-11 Bill

While copyright owners claim that they need anti-circumvention laws to address copyright infringement, twelve years' experience with the U.S. DMCA provisions demonstrates that overbroad digital locks laws can wreak havoc on lawful, non-infringing activities, stifle free speech and scientific research, and harm innovation and competition. Small wonder that a broad range of groups in Canada have come out against the unforgiving nature of Canada's C-11 Bill, including librarians, content creators, rights advocates and others.

Encrypt the Web: Tell Online Dating Sites to Stop Slovenly Privacy Habits

For many years, EFF has been working to encrypt the Web, pushing websites to adopt better security and providing users with tools to protect themselves. This month, we're looking at online dating sites, which can be particularly negligent in safeguarding the sensitive data of users. Our analysis found these sites failed to implement even basic levels of security, but we were particularly concerned about the negligent security practices we discovered on the free dating site OkCupid. We've contacted the site and asked them to improve, but we could use your help. Send OkCupid an email today asking them to implement HTTPS.

Six Heartbreaking Truths about Online Dating Privacy

Millions of people are using online dating sites to search for love or connection, but users should beware: many online dating sites are taking short cuts in safeguarding the privacy and security of users. Whether it's due to counter-intuitive privacy settings or serious security flaws, users of online dating profiles risk their privacy and security every day. We've put together six sobering facts about online dating services and a few suggestions for routing around the privacy pitfalls.

Comparing Privacy and Security Practices on Online Dating Sites

Concerned about your privacy when you use online dating sites? You should be. We found that the majority of the sites we examined did not take even basic security precautions, leaving users vulnerable to having their personal information exposed or their entire account taken over when using shared networks, such as at coffee shops or libraries.

A Better Path for Apps: Respecting Users and Their Privacy

Earlier this week, a Singapore-based iOS software developer made a startling discovery while working with the popular social-networking app Path: in the course of every new account creation, Path uploads the new user's entire iPhone address book to their servers. The strong user reaction demonstrates that even as norms of sharing evolve online and in the social networking space, users still value their privacy highly.

India's Downward Spiral

The world's biggest democracy is a formidable power in the IT sector. Despite playing such a role -- or perhaps because of it -- India has struggled to strike a balance between its security concerns and online freedom. Though the country's constitution guarantees the right to freedom of expression, the state is given the right to impose "reasonable restrictions ... in the interests of the sovereignty and integrity of India, the security of the State, friendly relations with foreign States, public order, decency or morality, or in relation to contempt of court, defamation, or incitement to an offence."

Iran Ratchets Up Its Internet Censorship

The Iranian government has not openly acknowledged these new measures. However, they are widely thought to be preliminary steps towards a nation-wide Halal Internet that would cut off a majority of citizens from the global web -- replacing it with one that would effectively block all foreign sites, allowing only state-controlled content to be accessed within Iran.

What the RIAA Won't Tell You: Users Matter

The New York Times published a lengthy screed from Cary Sherman, president of the Recording Industry Association of America, complaining about how "Google and Wikipedia" got in the way of efforts to ram through the Internet blacklist bills, never mind the massive collateral damage to Internet security, expression, and innovation those bills would have caused. The op-ed's really unfortunate message is that Hollywood still thinks the way forward is for a few executives to sit down together and make a deal.

Wow I am appalled at the state of society and just as appalled at the racial tones thrown around in the comments. When i read this i didnt even equate this to black or white. Although reading more about this most of this was people of color. Dont get me wrong i am no liberal i just dont see skin color as a judgement before character. This season there has been a far greater number of stories of blacks in shopping incidents. I am sure the we will do a 10 million dollar study funded by the government. My thought is the social issues are escalating due to the not phasing out of Affirmative action. It had a purpose initially but now there is a segment of society dependent on it along with providing a nanny state. Its creating a racial divide and an attitude of oh i deserve this its taken generations. We now have a nanny state, which is by design to buy votes not to help long term by making us equal in anyway. We have now a group that is dependent and believes they are less than so they need this. This didnt create equality, it created a monster and now we have a president who is using the divide it has cause as a weapon against whites. The facts are well know there is no evidence that supports this Affirmative action as a long term thing had help our society. We all have to stand on our own sooner or later. Please dont read into this that i believe all blacks are in this whirlpool hell no. Its very much becoming a Hispanic issue also, they can sneak into the US and get a free ride on many services. What the hell, i have been brought up if i cant afford i dont get it, including times where my cupboard was bare. I dont go to the state, dont have kids if you cant afford them, dont have sex if you cant afford protection. Yet we provide food and shelter for people who do nothing for other peoples money distributed by the Government and stolen from the tax payer. We are at a tipping point the number of people on assistance is close to the amount not when that happens we have no chance of turning it around. This mess filled a need and works fine short term, long term dependence take incentive and personal drive away and creates a restless society that is given just enough to get buy and no satisfaction of achievement. This is a colorless problem of entitlements and Affirmative action. Now we are at a point if we change it there is going to be racial and class warfare. Thanks libs, thanks obama for the mastering us of the race card. Sorry about the rant.

Dont insult the intelligence of smart blacks or caucasions . Affirmative action is a symptom not a cause. This is the face of ghetto culture and this primative behavior exists in every african nation on earth. Stop with the excuses. Every culture has been enslaved and oppressed. The mark of a people is how you pick yourself up, rise above and organize your social behavior.This continued infantalization of African American cultures doesnt do anyone any favors. What exactly is it doing for you? Cui bono?

Gee arent you so swellyou are just a such a peach to be so above seeing the politically incorrect but oh so obvious truth. The obvious fact being that 99.5% of urban blacks give the remaining half percent a bad rap. Pull your head outit aint racist if (and it is) the truth. These people are an embarrassment to any thinking individual, they are uncivil and are effectively acting as the water in the fuel tank of this once great nation, and you are not helping by denying it.

Meanwhile across town, the Reverand Al Sharpton held an Occupy Nike event, at which he decried the Nike corp of exploiting the inner city by creating the shoe in the first place this is obviously a scheme to take from the poor and give to the 1% Nike should be ashamed at the way it has made these honor roll students behave. The crowd supporters behind him chanted Jordon! Fordon as the Reverand went on to ask: why didnt Nike just give the shoes away to anyone that wanted them? This is an outrage. Senetor Maxinne Waters promised a full congressional hearing, and the president remarked that the police acted stupidly.

It has nothing to do with the color of their skin. This is what liberalism has done to the urban areas. They tell a group of people that they are not capable of providing for their families and that everyone else owes them, and they promise that the government will take care of them. Thus the people barely get by, have too much idle time on their hands, they are unhappy, want the same things as most families but they are dependent on the government, and they have been told their WHOLE LIFE that they are not capable of anything more, and the cycle continues. What liberalism has done to human beings breaks my heart.

You have provided an excellent succinct explaination for this type of behavior. However, you have left out the fact that people
s sinful desires push them toward these actions. Because the people of whom we speak have too frequently not faced the consequences of their actions. they are often all too willing to act in very unlawful ways.

Liberalism and the Democrats have destroyed the black family structure and turned them into a taxpayer-subsidized crop of Dem voters. In 1940 back before all the civil rights and welfare stuff began 80% of black children were born into married, two parent families. What is that figure nowadays? 10% maybe? It is sure a small fraction of what it used to be.

Thats easy. Blacks are hostile and easily provoked because they feel entitled. Generation after generation teach their kids how to manipulate the system and they are experts at it. Most of them think that society owes them something and that it should provide for them.

At what point in society do we finally stop and admit that a certain race of people are different from all other races. A certain race of people are more violent and mean than others. When do we start seperating this group from others for protection of society in general. When a certain race costs everybody more because of their out of control lawlessness, should we make them pay instead of penalizing everybody for the actions of a few. Frankly, Im tired of my taxes being higher to pay for more police, more prisons, more courts and additional defense attorneys because 12% of the population commits 70% of the crime. Food and clothing costs are higher because of theft, insurance is higher because of carelessness, stealing, vandalizism, drug use and virtually every other commodity and activity is more expensive because one race fails to raise their kids and fails to teach their children to follow and respect the law. Its unfortunate and sad because there are a few members of this race who do whats right but they are overshadowed by a large majority who act completely uncivilized. Weve been allowing this to go on long enough. Something must be done and that doesnt mean more free handouts or reparations. Its time they started paying for what they take, use, destroy and what they cost the World.

Most of these comments are really horrible. This has NOTHING to do with the race of the people involved. This is what happens with 50 years of liberalism. This is exactly what the democrat party wanted. A segment of society that will ALWAYS vote for them. They have taken a group of people and for generations have told them that the rest of society owes them. They have told this group of people that they are NOT capable of taking care of themselves or their families. They have been pushed through school while learning NOTHING except what party to vote for. When a crime is committed they are often not made to pay for the crime but are given exuses for the crime. What did you democrat voters think would happen? That your stupid policies would work, even though you look back and see 50 years of failure.

This whole mentality was spawned by big government, but every intelligent man must think for himself and act as his own man or woman. Long after this event has passed, the bitter taste of welfare, drugs, booze and abortion on demand, and school systems that affirm lawlessness and immorality in the schools will be alive and well in the black community. An illiterate ebonics-speaking woman named something-esha is not gonna be at the top of the resume pile. Sadly, so many good black folks get painted with this brush, and its unfair. Feral blacks understand what they are doing wrong, but they dont care. They have become uncivilized. Politicians like them because they 1) vote as a single block, 2) are easy to fool, 3) they dont learn fast, 4)they just want more stuff which politicians love to throw at them in speeches, and bellicose repartee; but no action.

PHILADELPHIA Mayor Michael A. Nutter, telling marauding black youths you have damaged your own race, imposed a tougher curfew Monday in response to the latest flash mob spontaneous groups of teens who attack people at random on the streets of the citys tourist and fashionable shopping districts.

Take those God-darn hoodies down, especially in the summer, Mr. Nutter, the citys third black mayor, said in an angry lecture aimed at black teens. Pull your pants up and buy a belt cause no one wants to see your underwear or the crack of your butt.

If you walk into somebodys office with your hair uncombed and a pick in the back, and your shoes untied, and your pants half down, tattoos up and down your arms and on your neck, and you wonder why somebody wont hire you? They dont hire you cause you look like youre crazy, the mayor said. You have damaged your own race.

White people are really "Pink"

Funny how we have all forgotten the fights and brawls that folks with Pink skin had over Tickle Me Elmo dolls and few years back at Christmas time. Funny, I dont recall any Black folks calling them fighting Pink skinners names such as animals. Is name calling and hate mongering inbred into the Pink race???

Pink people, mostly women tend to pull out each others hairs over bridal discounts like at Filenes annual bridal sale. Pink men and soccer moms tend to scream, name call and sometimes just lose it- and society comes down on them hard. Black thugs take out switch blades, stab, shoot and kill others over a $100 pair of sneakers. Even African honey bees have a propensity toward deadly swarming. Face it and act (or DONT act) accordingly.

What happened to the Civil Rights leaders and participants? If you look back at photos of those people, their heads were always held high, they knew there was a better America and they were helping to create it.

Then along came the liberal programs, blacks were given handouts and special treatment and this is the outcome. A bunch of animals fighting over ugly shoes. Shoes! sneakers! They arent even decent shoes, just sneakersyoull wear them untied so they flop around on your feet.

You cant speak English, merely ghetto slur. You cant pull up or zip up your pants, you cant tie your shoesyoure just not smart enough. And yes, your trashy president encourages this behavior. Youre much easier to manage when youre just a bunch of animals to be poked and prodded as necessary.

There are African Americans in this country and then there is you. Wake up and look at yourself. All that for a pair of sneakers?? Really stupid.

Michael Jordan and Nike should be held accountible for this atrocity. If gun manufacturers are at fault for gun crimes, then Michael Jordan and Nike should be made to suffer for this chimpout. On a serious note, however, wouldnt a statement from Michael Jordan go a long, long way toward reducing the violence. If he simply said, Really folks, are you serious? Youre going to hurt each other over a pair of overpriced basketball shoes? But no, MJ doesnt have it in him because as long as there is an extra nickel to be drained from his peeps, hes perfectly OK with the violence. Well done, Mike. Well done.

The big question is why isnt OBAMA speaking out on this issue??? He manages to find time to speak out if a white police officer is ACCUSED of racism when he restrains a black professor from breaking into his house. Remember that? Without knowing the facts he JUMPS and gives a speech. But incidents like these teenage hoodlums who rob, beat up, and steal every day he says NOT A WORD about. This is Obamanation. I hope those of you who voted for him are happy now.

Rev Al Sharptons take on this news: Da reason fo all deez people running amuck and fightin and actin unruly is because da white man and society, namely Republicans in da Congress, are gettin in the way of President Obamas plan to hand out more free monies into the minority community. Its also the blame of rich White communities across America who arent willing to spread more of their wealth and make sure it goes into da hands of inner cities and African-American communities. Think about itif these fine, upstanding customers had more monies at their disposal, they could have paid some illegal aliens to stand in line for them to buy these items which they desperately need and wouldnt have to get into fights in da first place.

Rev. Jesse Jacksons take on this news: The EVIL corporations run by WHITE men are to blame for this terrible atrocity!! Therefore, with all my graciousness and good-will, I am planning to sue Nike shoes (for not supplying enough sneakers), Michael Jordans white lawyer (because I cant sue a good brother like MJ!), the WHITE mall security who employed brutal tactics against these innocent customers, and last but not least my Rainbow Coalition will make sure these businesses are not only selling enough items to African-American shoppers but will also ensure that they are hiring enough minorities in their stories. And I will say this, if our investigation turns up that they arent, we will take them over and my son Jesse Jr and I will make sure that they are run fairly. Plain and simple. Its time to put an end to this WHITE tyranny in America once and for all!!!

Yes...it's absolutely, unequivocally true that blacks are inherently uncivilized and in evolutionary terms, only evolved to a point ( http://albertpeia.com/anthroindex1.htm ). They are themselves racist, intolerant, hypocritical [ UPDATE: MORE CLAIMS OF RACE BIAS AT HOLDER JUSTICE DEPARTMENT... (WP) ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims ' ], and prone to violence as with any feral animal. Moreover, I must admit that I find their simian look repulsive; and, even before totally realizing the foregoing reality owing to self-destructive egalitarian propaganda, never did and never would know a black female in the biblical sense (despite their intrusively easy availability - not a matter of skin color inasmuch as I have known biblically red-Indian, brown-Hispanic, yellow-Oriental women). Wobama the b for b***s*** is a typical, jive-talking 'n-word' and consequently an abject failure as president. I was fortunate to have no blacks whatsoever in my schools (schooling) through high school.

For self-defeating / self-destructive political correctness or otherwise, I believe the under-profiled black serial killer is also the consequence of their proclivity for and love of killing, random, for no reason other than for the sake of killing (which distinguishes them from and positions them below other feral beasts) and otherwise, and an historic predisposition toward canabalism. After all, the contra-indicated mainstream view (tv and otherwise) calls for a white perp in terms of profile which is of course, ridiculous. I believe the under-reporting is owing to multiple killings by blacks being classified as something other than serial; ie., gang, gang related, typical, etc.. Moreover, the anti-white bias of the black perps is also a reality thats under-reported. Take a look at the following brutally uncivilized black on white violent rapes/murders:

Wayne Madsen: Holder’s Fast & Furious was Designed to Destablize Mexican Government Infowars Nightly News | ‘Wayne Madsen has learned from his contacts within the Beltway intelligence community that Jared Lee Loughner is an “MK-ULTRA” programmed assassin and that US District Judge John Roll and Congresswoman Gabriel Giffords were targetted for assassination.The reason for the decision to target Judge Roll and Congresswoman Giffords has to do with their knowledge of the malicious and purposeful arming of Mexican drug gangs along the US-Mexico border by US intelligence agency assets in an effort designed to destablize the Mexican government.This towards the end of making Mexico more dependent on US military aid and protection from its private security contractors.A key quote from Wayne Madsen’s report follows:

WMR has been told that in 2009, information about the CIA/Homeland Security/Napolitano smuggling operation came to the attention of three individuals, two members of Congress and a federal judge. The three were Arizona Democratic Representatives Giffords, Republican Representative Mike Conaway from west Texas, and Judge Roll. Giffords and Roll were working together on investigating the extent of the clandestine weapons and druigs smuggling operation and held some joint meetings with informants, one in north Phoenix, in 2009.Information on the investigation and informants was strictly limited to only a few trusted staffers and clerks for Giffords and Roll. In addition, Conaway was also being briefed by informants on the smuggling operation but since the death of Roll and the severe mental and physical incapacitation of Giffords from the shooting carried out by Jared Lee Loughner, said to be an MK-ULTRA-like trained assassin, he has gone silent in fear for his own safety.Loughners was declared mentally incompetent and there are reports, including one in Slate Magazine, that the U.S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Missouri, where Loughner is being held, pending a determination of his mental fitness to stand trial, is being administered psychotropic drugs in his Kool Aid.In addition to receiving drugs to fund its off-the-books operations, the CIA weapons smuggling program is designed to arm the two main Mexican cartels Sinaloa and Los Zetas in order to destabilize Mexico.

Israel stole weapon-grade uranium from US, report will show Daily Star | Report will show evidence Israel stole weapons-grade uranium from nuclear reprocessing plant in Pennsylvania. Kristin Dailey December 8, 2011 WASHINGTON: A U.S.-based research institute will soon publish what it says is indisputable evidence that Israel stole weapons-grade uranium for its still-undeclared atomic weapons program from a nuclear reprocessing plant in western Pennsylvania. The Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy (IRmep) will release this month a 300-page report detailing the initial findings of a multi-year research project investigating the disappearance of highly enriched uranium from the Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation (Numec) in Apollo, Pennsylvania in the 1950s and 1960s. Grant Smith, the director of IRmep, told The Daily Star that the report would include a broad range of newly declassified and un-redacted government documents from various agencies including the Department of Energy, Atomic Energy Commission, FBI and CIA that prove that nuclear material was diverted from Numec to Israel. The story at this point is that there is no one smoking gun; there are many smoking pistols lying all over the place that weve painstakingly collected, Smith told The Daily Star.

 

 

DHS Shut Down Blog For A Year On False Pretenses Paul Joseph Watson | Homeland Security is seizing websites for copyright infringement with no evidence. Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com December 9, 2011

In a chilling illustration of how far Internet censorship has advanced, the Department of Homeland Security seized a popular music blog and shut down the website for over a year on charges it now admits were completely false.

 The website in question www.dajaz1.com was not some obscure, dubious blog it was a popular platform for DJs that was once featured on MTV.

Around Thanksgiving 2010, the Department of Homeland Security seized more than 70 domains with no trial, accusing them of copyright infringement, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.

Dajaz1.com was caught in the dragnet after DHS claimed four songs  the website were used without permission, when in fact the musicians and publicists concerned had sent the tracks directly to Dajaz1 with express authorization.

That didnt stop Homeland Security from seizing and shutting down the blog for over a year, violating the law by refusing to tell its owner why the website was taken and subsequently missing the 90 day deadline for explaining why the owner should forfeit the property permanently.

Or at least thats what the owner assumed when he heard nothing. Then the court told him that the government got an extension.

But the owner couldnt see the extension because all the filings in the case were sealed, and was not allowed to testify in court to ask for his property back, says TechDirt.

The saga finally came to a close when the owner was handed back control of the website only yesterday.

The lesson to take from this is that Homeland Security can now just claim your website contains copyrighted material with no evidence whatsoever and seize it without any recourse.

This whole thing has been a disgrace by the US government, starting with a bogus seizure, improper and illegal censorship, followed by denial of due process and unnecessary secrecy, reports TechDirt.

 The DHS has already seized dozens of websites merely for linking to copyrighted material, despite the fact that such material isnt even hosted on the website itself, a process the Electronic Frontier Foundation has criticized as, Blunt instruments that cause unacceptable collateral damage to free speech rights.

The targeted website, now finally back in the hands of its rightful owner, has become a poster child for the anti-Internet censorship movement. The front page of the site urges readers to oppose the Protect IP Act, legislation that will give the government even more power to block websites by creating an official blacklist.

As we reported back in October, the bill that has attracted bi-partisan support in the House will force Internet Service Providers to create a list of banned websites and prevent their users from accessing the sites, creating a Chinese-style ban list that could easily be abused to silence free speech. Lawmakers like Senator Joe Lieberman have teamed up with Department of Homeland Security officials to push draconian legislation in an effort to mimic the Communist Chinese system of policing the Internet.

A service provider shall take technically feasible and reasonable measures designed to prevent access by its subscribers located within the United States to the foreign infringing site (or portion thereof) that is subject to the order, including measures designed to prevent the domain name of the foreign infringing site (or portion thereof) from resolving to that domain names Internet Protocol address, states the bill.

Given the fact that the U.S. government is now ordering You Tube to remove videos that contain government criticism, the potential for this legislation to be abused to silence political free speech is clear. Add to that the fact that Verisign, the global authority over all .com domain names, is demanding the power to terminate websites deemed abusive when ordered to by government without a court order or any kind of oversight whatsoever, and the threat to web freedom is clear.

But the fact is this is unmistakably global american policy; albeit primative and yes, hearkening back to the cold war years, and conflicts, so longed for by the military industrial complex (and yes, the cia is part of that war mongering, chaos loving/creating nefarious entity for maintaining/increasing budgets/corporate welfare).]  Accusations by Vladimir Putin that the United States is funding poll monitors to spark protests in Russia mark a return to the rhetoric of the Cold War.

Donald Trump Dismisses Ron Paul as “Joke Candidate” Kurt Nimmo | Millions of Americans support Paul’s call for ending foreign aid. [ Yet it’s trump who is the big joke (which makes america look like a bigger joke)! He’s a caricature at best, and the joke that keeps on giving (SNL, etc.), and a government-protected mobster. ‘When they’re losing, they can afford to be principled’ says corrupt mobster trump regarding the snubbing of his ‘less than moderation’ of an upcoming debate in Iowa by the remaining principled GOP contenders. In reality, it’s actually ‘when you’re winning, you can afford to be principled’. But, in trump’s corrupt, sordid, sinkhole habitat, the former is indeed his truth. If you’re principled, you’re losing in trump’s rather surreal unreality. After all, pervasively corrupt and unprincipled america is indeed losing; and, big-time at that. That trump is a megalomaniac, a narcissist, and, yes … a loser, there is no question. Indeed, anyone who ‘wins’ unfairly (corruption, etc.) at others expense (ie., as does himself, the frauds on wall street, etc.) is a loser. Unfortunately, such modus operandi, including that which is criminal, has been accorded protection and respect in defacto bankrupt america, much like the ‘protected’ (bribes, etc.) common drug dealer (america, see infra), pimp, etc.. Then there’s the endearing (to a dumbed down american public) hype! That cloyingly cutesy ‘the donald’ routine is nauseating; but, that’s the natural, visible concomitant to a nation in ineluctable decline! On a positive note, megalomaniac trump will not be able to retread the path of his role model / idol Adolf Hitler as head of state. He’s really quite a joke when you think about it; and a mentally ill one at that; ask Steve Wynn, he’ll tell you, he’s already said it.

 

‘Pizza with palin’, ‘town hall of fame with Bachmann’, trump purports to be at least ‘alcohol free’ (the alleged cause – I don’t think so – of mobster trump’s elder brother’s suicide); but is he ‘med-free’? … there must be something to account for his madness (he’s a psychopath who used to play Hitler speeches for inspiration).

Woman imprisoned on Scientology cruise ship for 12 years { Scientology is such a total fraud, and founded by that fraudster/mental case l ron hubbard. In retrospect, fraud/mental infirmity is as american as apple pie and mother-of-hoods. } ...In an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's (ABC News) Lateline program, Paris claims that Church of Scientology leader David Miscavige sent her to the ship when she was 18 in order to prevent her family from pulling her out of the organization."I was basically hauled in and told that my mum had attacked the church and that I needed to disconnect from her because she was suppressive," she said. "He decided the ship, and I found out two hours before my plane left, I was woken up in the morning and I was sent to the ship for 'two weeks.' "Paris was born into a Scientology family, but her mother quit the group after her husband committed suicide, blaming Scientology for coercing him out of a self-made personal fortune of more than a million dollars.Instead of the promised two week stay, Paris found herself unable to leave the ship without an official Scientology escort and was often forced into hard labor on the lower levels of the ship for stretches as long as two full days. "It's hot, it's extremely loud, it's smelly, it's not nice. I was sent down there at first for 48 hours straight on almost no sleep and I had to work by myself," she said.So, why didn't Paris simply escape from the ship when it would take port? The Freewinds has a relatively small sailing route, traveling throughout the Caribbean and occasionally docking at small islands."I did not want to be there, I made it clear I did not want to be there and that was considered bad ethics, meaning it was considered not right," she said. "They take your passport when you go on the ship and you're in the middle of an island. So it's a bit hard [to escape] and by that time I was 18, I'd been in Scientology my whole life, it's not like I knew how to escape," she said…’

30 Signs That The United States Of America Is Being Turned Into A Giant Prison The American Dream | If you live in the United States of America, you live in a giant prison where liberty and freedom are slowly being strangled to death. The American Dream Tuesday, November 29, 2011 'If you live in the United States of America, you live in a giant prison where liberty and freedom are slowly being strangled to death.  In this country, the control freaks that run things are obsessed with watching, tracking, monitoring and recording virtually everything that we do.  Nothing is private anymore.  Everything that you do on the Internet is being monitored.  All of your phone calls are being monitored.  In fact, if law enforcement authorities suspect that you have done something wrong, they will use your cell phone microphone to listen to you even when you think your cell phone is turned off.  In many areas of the country, when you get into your car automated license plate readers track you wherever you go, and in many major cities when you are walking on the streets a vast network of security cameras and smart street lights are constantly watching you and listening to whatever you say.  The TSA is setting up internal checkpoints all over the nation, Homeland Security is encouraging all of us to report any suspicious activity that our neighbors are involved in and the federal government is rapidly developing pre-crime technology that will flag us as potential terrorists if we display any signs of nervousness.  If you are flagged as a potential terrorist, the U.S. military can arrest you and detain you for the rest of your life without ever having to charge you with anything.  Yes, the United States of America is rapidly being turned into a Big Brother prison grid, and most Americans are happily going along with it. The sad thing is that this used to be the land of the free and the home of the brave.So what in the world happened?A fundamental shift in our culture has taken place.  The American people have eagerly given up huge chunks of liberty and freedom in exchange for vague promises of increased security.Our country is now run by total control freaks and paranoia has become standard operating procedure.We were told that the terrorists hate our liberties and our freedoms, and that we needed to fight the terrorists so that we could keep our liberties and our freedoms.But instead, the government keeps taking away all of our liberties and our freedoms.How in the world does that make any sense?Have the terrorists won?As a country, we have moved so far in the direction of communist China, the USSR and Nazi Germany that it is almost impossible to believe.Yes, turning the United States of America into a giant prison may make us all slightly safer, but what kind of life is this?Do we want to be dead while we are still alive?Is this the price that we want to pay in order to feel slightly safer?Where are the millions of Americans that still yearn to breathe free air?America is supposed to be a land teeming with people thirsting for independence.  For example, Live Free or Die is supposedly the official motto of the state of New Hampshire.But instead, the motto of most Americans seems to be live scared and die cowering.We dont have to live like this.Yes, bad things are always going to happen.  No amount of security is ever going to be able to keep us 100% safe.We need to remember that a very high price was paid for our liberty and we should not give it up so easily.As one very famous American once said, when we give up liberty for security we deserve neither.

The following are 30 signs that the United States of America is being turned into a giant prison.

#1 A new bill that is going through the U.S. Senate would allow the U.S. military to arrest American citizens and hold them indefinitely without trial.  This new law was recently discussed in an article  the website of the New American.

In what may be a tale too bizarre to be believed by millions of Americans, the U.S. Senate appears ready to pass a bill that will designate the entire earth, including the United States and its territories, one all-encompassing battlefield in the global war on terror and authorize the detention of Americans suspected of terrorist ties indefinitely and without trial or even charges being filed that would necessitate a trial.

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham is a big supporter of the bill, and he says that it would basically say in law for the first time that the homeland is part of the battlefield.

According to the PPJ Gazette, the following are three things that this new law would do.

1)  Explicitly authorize the federal government to indefinitely imprison without charge or trial American citizens and others picked up inside and outside the United States;

(2)  Mandate military detention of some civilians who would otherwise be outside of military control, including civilians picked up within the United States itself; and

(3)  Transfer to the Department of Defense core prosecutorial, investigative, law enforcement, penal, and custodial authority and responsibility now held by the Department of Justice.

#2 U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman is asking Google to install a terrorist button on all Blogger.com blogs so that readers can easily flag terrorist content for authorities.

#3 Most Americans have no idea how sophisticated the Big Brother prison grid has become.  For example, in Washington D.C. the movements of every single car are tracked using automated license plate readers (ALPRs).  The following comes from a recent Washington Post article.

More than 250 cameras in the District and its suburbs scan license plates in real time, helping police pinpoint stolen cars and fleeing killers. But the program quietly has expanded beyond what anyone had imagined even a few years ago.

With virtually no public debate, police agencies have begun storing the information from the cameras, building databases that document the travels of millions of vehicles.

Nowhere is that more prevalent than in the District, which has more than one plate-reader per square mile, the highest concentration in the nation. Police in the Washington suburbs have dozens of them as well, and local agencies plan to add many more in coming months, creating a comprehensive dragnet that will include all the approaches into the District.

#4 In some American schools, RFID chips are now being used to monitor the attendance and movements of children while they are at school.  The following is how one article recently described a program that has just been instituted at a preschool in California.

Upon arriving in the morning, according to the Associated Press, each student at the CCC-George Miller preschool will don a jersey with a stitched in RFID chip. As the kids go about the business of learning, sensors in the school will record their movements, collecting attendance for both classes and meals. Officials from the school have claimed theyre only recording information theyre required to provide while receiving  federal funds for their Headstart program.

#5 Increasingly, incidents of misbehavior at many U.S. schools are being treated as very serious crimes.  For example, when a little girl kissed a little boy at one Florida elementary school recently, it was considered to be a possible sex crime and the police were called out.

#6 But what happened to one very young student in Stockton, California earlier this year was even worse.

Earlier this year, a Stockton student was handcuffed with zip ties on his hands and feet, forced to go to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation and was charged with battery on a police officer. That student was 5 years old.

#7 In the United States today, police are trained to respond to even the smallest crimes with extreme physical force.  For example, one grandfather in Arizona was recently filmed laying unconscious in a pool of his own blood after police rammed his head into the flood inside a Wal-Mart on Black Friday night.  It was thought that he was shoplifting, but it turns out that he says that he was just trying to tuck a video game away so other crazed shoppers would not grab it out of his hands.

#8 Did you know that the government actually sets up fake cell phone towers that can intercept your cell phone calls?  The following is how a recent Wired articledescribed these stingrays”….

You make a call on your cellphone thinking the only thing standing between you and the recipient of your call is your carriers cellphone tower. In fact, that tower your phone is connecting to just might be a boobytrap set up by law enforcement to ensnare your phone signals and maybe even the content of your calls.

So-called stingrays are one of the new high-tech tools that authorities are using to track and identify you. The devices, about the size of a suitcase, spoof a legitimate cellphone tower in order to trick nearby cellphones and other wireless communication devices into connecting to the tower, as they would to a real cellphone tower.

The government maintains that the stingrays dont violate Fourth Amendment rights, since Americans dont have a legitimate expectation of privacy for data sent from their mobile phones and other wireless devices to a cell tower.

#9 U.S. border agents are allowed by law to search any laptop being brought into the United States without even needing any reason to do so.

#10 In the United States of America, everyone is a potential terrorist.  According to FBI Director Robert Mueller, homegrown terrorists represent as big a threat to American national security as al-Qaeda does.

#11 Most Americans are not that concerned about the Patriot Act, but that might change if they understood that the federal government has a secret interpretation of what the Patriot Act really means.  U.S. Senator Ron Wyden says that the U.S. government interprets the Patriot Act much more broadly than the general public does.

Were getting to a gap between what the public thinks the law says and what the American government secretly thinks the law says.

#12 The FBI is now admittedly recording Internet talk radio programs all over the United States.  The following comes from a recent article by Mark Weaver of WMAL.com.

If you call a radio talk show and get on the air, you might be recorded by the FBI.

The FBI has awarded a $524,927 contract to a Virginia company to record as much radio news and talk programming as it can find on the Internet.

The FBI says it is not playing big brother by policing the airwaves, but rather seeking access to what airs as potential evidence.

#13 The federal government has decided that what you and I share with one another on Facebook and on Twitter could be a threat to national security.  According to a recent Associated Press article, the Department of Homeland Security will soon be gleaning information from sites such as Twitter and Facebook for law enforcement purposes.

#14 What you say on your cell phone is never private.  The truth is that that the FBI can demand to see your cell phone data whenever it wants.  In addition, according to CNET News the FBI can remotely activate the microphone on your cell phone and listen to whatever you are saying.

The FBI appears to have begun using a novel form of electronic surveillance in criminal investigations: remotely activating a mobile phones microphone and using it to eavesdrop on nearby conversations.

The technique is called a roving bug, and was approved by top U.S. Department of Justice officials for use against members of a New York organized crime family who were wary of conventional surveillance techniques such as tailing a suspect or wiretapping him.

#15 In some areas of the country, law enforcement authorities are pulling data out of cell phones for no reason whatsoever.  According to the ACLU, state police in Michigan are now using extraction devices to download data from the cell phones of motorists that they pull over.  This is taking place even if the motorists that are pulled over are not accused of doing anything wrong.

The following is how a recent article on CNET News described the capabilities of these extraction devices”….

The devices, sold by a company called Cellebrite, can download text messages, photos, video, and even GPS data from most brands of cell phones. The handheld machines have various interfaces to work with different models and can even bypass security passwords and access some information.

#16 The federal government has become so paranoid that they have been putting GPS tracking devices on the vehicles of thousands of people that have not even been charged with committing any crimes.  The following is a short excerpt from a recent Wired magazine article about this issue.

The 25-year-old resident of San Jose, California, says he found the first one about three weeks ago on his Volvo SUV while visiting his mother in Modesto, about 80 miles northeast of San Jose. After contacting Wired and allowing a photographer to snap pictures of the device, it was swapped out and replaced with a second tracking device. A witness also reported seeing a strange man looking beneath the vehicle of the young mans girlfriend while her car was parked at work, suggesting that a tracking device may have been retrieved from her car.

Then things got really weird when police showed up during a Wired interview with the man.

The young man, who asked to be identified only as Greg, is one among an increasing number of U.S. citizens who are finding themselves tracked with the high-tech devices.

The Justice Department has said that law enforcement agents employ GPS as a crime-fighting tool with great frequency,and GPS retailers have told Wired that theyve sold thousands of the devices to the feds.

#17 New high-tech street lights that are being funded by the federal government and that are being installed all over the nation can also be used as surveillance cameras, can be used by the DHS to make security announcements and can even be used to record personal conversations.  The following is from a recent article by Paul Joseph Watson for Infowars.com.

Federally-funded high-tech street lights now being installed in American cities are not only set to aid the DHS in making security announcements and acting as talking surveillance cameras, they are also capable of recording conversations, bringing the potential privacy threat posed by Intellistreets to a whole new level.

#18 If you choose to protest in the streets of America today, there is a good chance that you will be brutalized.  All over the United States law enforcement authorities have been spraying pepper spray directly into the faces of unarmed protesters in recent weeks.

#19 In many areas of the United States today, you will be arrested if you do not produce proper identification for the police.  In the old days, your papers please was a phrase that was used to use to mock the tyranny of Nazi Germany.  But now all of us are being required to be able to produce our papers for law enforcement authorities at any time.  For example, a 21-year-old college student named Samantha Zucker was recently arrested and put in a New York City jail for 36 hours just because she could not produce any identification for police.

#20 According to blogger Alexander Higgins, students in kindergarten and the 1st grade in the state of New Jersey are now required by law to participate in monthly anti-terrorism drills.  The following is an excerpt from a letter that he recently received from the school where his child attends.

Each month a school must conduct one fire drill and one security drill which may be a lockdown, bomb threat, evacuation, active shooter, or shelter-in place drill. All schools are now required by law to implement this procedure.

So who in the world ever decided that it would be a good idea for 1st grade students to endure lockdown and active shooter drills?

To get an idea of what these kinds of drills are like, just check out this video.

#21 With all of the other problems that we are having all over the nation, you would think that authorities would not be too concerned about little kids that are trying to sell cups of lemonade.  But sadly, over the past year police have been sent in to shut down lemonade stands run by children all over the United States.

#22 The federal government has decided to invest a significant amount of time, money and energy raiding organic farms.  The following example comes from Natural News.

It is the latest case of extreme government food tyranny, and one that is sure to have you reeling in anger and disgust. Health department officials recently conducted a raid of Quail Hollow Farm, an organic community supported agriculture (CSA) farm in southern Nevada, during its special farm to fork picnic dinner put on for guests and the agent who arrived on the scene ordered that all the fresh, local produce and pasture-based meat that was intended for the meal be destroyed with bleach.

#23 It is an absolute disgrace that all of us (including grandmothers and young children) must either go through body scanners that reveal the intimate details of our naked bodies or endure enhanced pat-downs during which our genitals will be touched before we are allowed to get on an airplane.

It is also an absolute disgrace that the American people are putting up with this.

#24 Invasive TSA security techniques are not just for airports anymore.  Now, TSA VIPR teams are actively conducting random inspections at bus stations and on interstate highways all over the United States.  For example, the following comes from a local news report down in Tennessee.

Youre probably used to seeing TSAs signature blue uniforms at the airport, but now agents are hitting the interstates to fight terrorism with Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR).

Where is a terrorist more apt to be found? Not these days on an airplane more likely on the interstate, said Tennessee Department of Safety & Homeland Security Commissioner Bill Gibbons.

Tuesday Tennessee was first to deploy VIPR simultaneously at five weigh stations and two bus stations across the state.

TSA VIPR teams now conduct approximately 8,000 unannounced security screenings a year at subway stations, bus terminals, ports and highway rest stops.

#25 More than a million hotel television sets all over America are now broadcasting propaganda messages from the Department of Homeland Security promoting the See Something, Say Something campaign.  In essence, the federal government wants all of us to become informants and to start spying on one another constantly.  The following comes from an article posted by USA Today.

Starting today, the welcome screens on 1.2 million hotel television sets in Marriott, Hilton, Sheraton, Holiday Inn and other hotels in the USA will show a short public service announcement from DHS. The 15-second spot encourages viewers to be vigilant and call law enforcement if they witness something suspicious during their travels.

#26 Certain types of American citizens are being labeled as potential threats in official U.S. government documents.  An unclassified Department of Homeland Security report published a couple years ago entitled Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment claims that a belief in Bible prophecy could motivate extremist individuals and groups to stockpile food, ammunition and weapons.  The report goes on to state that such people are potentially dangerous.

#27 Back on February 20, 2009, the State of Missouri issued a report entitled MIAC Strategic Report: The Modern Militia Movement.  That report warned that the following types of people may be potential terrorists.

*anti-abortion activists

*those that are against illegal immigration

*those that consider the New World Order to be a threat

*those that have a negative view of the United Nations

#28 As I have written about previously, a very disturbing document that Oath Keepers has obtained shows that the FBI is now instructing store owners to report many new forms of suspicious activity to them.  According to the document, suspicious activity now includes the following.

*paying with cash

*missing a hand or fingers

*strange odors

*making extreme religious statements

*radical theology

*purchasing weatherproofed ammunition or match containers

*purchasing meals ready to eat

*purchasing night vision devices, night flashlights or gas masks

Do any of those signs of suspicious activity apply to you?

#29 Soon you may get labeled as a potential terrorist if you are just feeling a little nervous.  A new pre-crime technology system that is currently being tested by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will soon be in use all over the nation.  It is called Future Attribute Screening Technology (FAST), and it is very frightening.  The following description of this new program comes from an articlein the London Telegraph.

Using cameras and sensors the pre-crime system measures and tracks changes in a persons body movements, the pitch of their voice and the rhythm of their speech.

It also monitors breathing patterns, eye movements, blink rate and alterations in body heat, which are used to assess an individuals likelihood to commit a crime.

The Future Attribute Screening Technology (FAST) programme is already being tested on a group of government employees who volunteered to act as guinea pigs.

#30 The truth is that nobody puts more people into prison than America does.  The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world and the largest total prison population on the entire globe.

To read about some of the crazy things that the control freaks running things have planned for the future, just check out this article by Natural News: 10 outlandish things the scientific controllers have in mind for you in the near future.

Once again, despite all of this outrageous security, it is inevitable that a lot of really bad things are going to happen in the United States in the years ahead.

When there are incidents of violence, it is also inevitable that there will be calls for even more Big Brother security measures.

We are going to be caught in a never ending spiral of tyranny where the solution is always even tighter security.

Eventually, we will have lost all of our liberties and freedoms, and we will probably be even less safe than we are today.

Do not be deceived.  We could put a soldier on every corner, a video camera in every room of every home and an RFID chip in every citizen but that would not make us safe.

Every single lawmaker that is backing these laws which strip our liberties and freedoms away deserves to be voted out of office.

If you love the United States of America, please stand up and say something while you still can.

Please use this article and other articles like it as tools.  Share them with your friends and your family.  If we can get enough people to wake up, perhaps there is still enough time to turn the direction of this country around.

Will the final chapters of the history of the United States of America be mentioned in the same breath as communist China, the USSR and Nazi Germany, or will the final chapters of the history of the United States of America be the greatest chapters of all?

The choice, America, is up to you.

Anything or anybody that’s not an incompetent, brainless automaton is a ‘threat’ to the u.s. because in projecting america’s insanity, America sees them deviantly sitting around plotting ways to wreak havoc and war in the world for the sake of maintaining their wasteful, nation-draining budgets. What isn’t ‘a threat’ to these mental cases. Certainly the truth is a threat to incompetent dog panetta, yet it is he and his who are the threat to this nation and the world. ]


 

 

Penn State Scandal: Mother of Sandusky's Adopted Son Speaks Out    By KEVIN DOLAK | Good Morning America http://gma.yahoo.com/penn-state-scandal-mother-sanduskys-adopted-son-speaks-091457912.html

 

 

The birth mother of Jerry Sandusky's youngest adopted child has come forward saying she believes the former Penn State coach led her son on a path of self-destruction and that she contacted authorities years ago about her son's safety.

Debra Long told ABC News in an exclusive interview that sharing her now 33-year-old son Matt with Sandusky had been a nightmare after the coach became the boy's guardian via foster care in 1995. Long says that she watched as her child became enamored with the local hero and then increasingly frightened by Sandusky's behavior.

"It was Jerry Sandusky, you know? Any 10-year-old kid is gonna be impressed by Penn State football," Long said. "And then it was the gifts. You know, money and clothing and whatever It was as if Jerry owned Matthew."

Sandusky entered the lives of the Longs as a mentor when Matt was 10 years old, via The Second Mile charity for at-risk youth, which the former Penn State defensive coordinator founded. When Matt was placed in juvenile hall after he set fire to a barn in 1995, he soon entered the Sandusky home as a foster child. He was adopted by Sandusky as an adult at age 18.

Matt Sandusky, now 33, is not named as one of the 10 victims in the grand jury presentment outlining the charges against the coach. He insists he was not abused by his foster father.

But Debra Long says that the once-welcome Sandusky soon became a source of fear for her son, as he would take the boy out of school when he was 15 years old, unbeknownst to her.

"My son was afraid of Jerry. If Jerry said don't talk, he didn't talk. I would sit back and watch when Jerry would show up, how excited Matt was," she said. "And then, as time went on, I would watch the same kid hide behind the bedroom door and say, 'Mom, tell him I'm not home.'"

Long believes that exposure to Sandusky was what made her once-quiet son lash out, and eventually fall into the coach's hands.

"It wasn't until Jerry came into the picture that Matt started acting out in school. Matt ended up burning down a barn with another youth, you know -- it wasn't until Jerry came into the picture that mentor turned him from the quiet, good kid into -- what Jerry could use to take him."

Four months after moving into the Sandusky's home Matt attempted suicide, along with another girl who was staying in the house, according to a report in the Patriot-News. After the suicide attempt, Terry L. Trude, a school-based probation officer, wrote a letter to a local judge asking that Matt's care at the Sandusky home be reviewed.

"The probation department has some serious concerns about the juvenile's safety and his current progress in placement with the Sandusky family," Trude wrote.

The adoption file for Matt Sandusky contains letters from Long to officials and a Centre County judge expressing concern for her son, who she was allowed to visit only one-half day per month while he was in Sandusky's care.

Matt Sandusky who is one of five boys adopted by Sandusky and his wife -- still supports Jerry after he was arrested on charges of 40 counts of sexual assault with 10 minor boys over 15 years. Matt even brought his children to visit Sandusky after his Nov. 5 arrest.

But the mother of Matt's kids immediately went to court to obtain an order preventing Sandusky from being alone with her children. By court order Sandusky is now not allowed unsupervised contact or overnight visits with his grandchildren.

Alleged Victims Ready for Court

In the aftermath of Jerry Sandusky's unexpected interview on "Rock Center" with Bob Costas on Monday night, a number of witnesses are now ready and willing to testify in court that they were sexually assaulted by the coach.

A second boy has said that he is now ready to testify in court, according to Harrisburg attorney Ben Andreozzi, who is representing the boy. According to Andreozzi , the alleged victim called him after Sandusky gave the controversial interview on Monday.

"He has decided to dig in his heels. He's not going anywhere. He fully intends to testify," Andreozzi said.

In a statement issued Wednesday, Andreozzi said Sandusky "elected to re-victimize these young men at a time when they should be healing," and said his client was "disappointed" by Sandusky's comments.

"I think he would like Mr. Sandusky to assume responsibility for the horrible acts he committed on him," Andreozzi said.

Another boy known to be planning to testify is one known as "Victim 1" in the indictment; he is the boy who first came forward to authorities to allege abuse at the hands of Sandusky. The boy has already told his story to the grand jury and is anxious to tell it again in open court, according to his mother.

"He wants him to go to jail, and he wants him to pay for what he's done, and he doesn't want him on the streets where he can hurt somebody else," the unnamed boy's mother told ABC News.

Meanwhile, The Patriot-News reports that hearing Sandusky's interview broadcast on national television Monday has triggered more of the coach's alleged victims to come forward.

"They're literally processing it right in front of us," attorney Andy Shubin told the Patriot-News. "They have kept it from their families, moms, brothers and sisters ... The folks we talked to are largely folks in their 20s, who in a lot of cases have never told their story before."

Shubin has reportedly teamed up with Andreozzi, and along with a team of psychologists and social workers they plan to aid the alleged victims by providing seeking mental help and possible legal recourse.

Penn State coach says he stopped shower assault... ‘…McQueary was placed on administrative leave last week after Penn State officials said he had received threats.According to the grand jury report, the graduate assistant said he saw a boy, whose age he estimated at 10 years old, "being subjected to anal intercourse" by a naked Sandusky in a shower at the Penn State football building in March 2002. The graduate assistant left "immediately," was "distraught" and called his father, according to the presentment. His father told him to leave the building and come to his home, according to the presentment.In the email obtained by The Morning Call, dated Nov. 8, McQueary said "I did stop it, not physically, but made sure it was stopped when I left that locker room.""No one can imagine my thoughts or wants to be in my shoes for those 30-45 seconds," McQueary wrote. "Trust me."Asked about McQueary's statement in the email that he had discussions with police, Penn State police told The Morning Call they were deferring to the university public relations office, which did not return a call Tuesday afternoon.

A member of the media confirmed Monday that "there were discussions between journalists and they agreed not to publish the comments due to the sensitivity of the issue." He added that while it was annoying to have to refrain from publishing the information, the journalists are subject to precise rules of conduct.

10 Reasons America Will Be Judged as the Most Brutal Empire in History  Activist Post | Good and evil doesnt have a grey zone. Activist Post November 7, 2011

Good and evil doesnt have a grey zone.  Killing and stealing is bad.  Violence is never good or necessary unless it is used to defend against killers and thieves. Indeed, that is the morality behind the just war principle as defined by international laws and treaties.

Yet, this simple concept of right and wrong gets muddled by differing ideas about religion, patriotism, economics and many other divisions.  The just war rule has crumbled under the ambitions of empires throughout history.  The American-led Anglo Saxon empire is no different.

This empire has been brutally conquering and colonizing territory since the fall of Rome.  However, it has only gained an American face in the last century.  The United States quickly emerged as the worlds superpower primarily through its economic might.  For some time, many believed the U.S. to be a shining example of economic freedom for other nations to emulate.  Indeed, America was eager to promote economic freedom globally to open new markets for U.S.-based corporations.

When foreign leaders refused to allow these corporate interests into their country, those leaders were replaced through a variety of covert actions.  The form of government that would be installed did not matter to the empire makers so long as the corporate interests were served.  In most cases these nations simply surrendered to the seemingly unlimited power of the almighty dollar, thus camouflaging the traditional method of forceful empire building.

However, some nations, especially in the last two decades, remained stubborn and have refused to alter their banking systems while also shunning Western companies.  Despite the empires best efforts to diplomatically bribe or sanction them into submission, they ultimately required an iron military fist to force their compliance.  Until recently, military action remained the last resort.  But now, preemptive military action seems to have become the preferred, and perhaps necessary, method to conquer the last resource-rich nations out of their grasp.

The empires populations cheered this strategy out of fear of being attacked by these rogue nations who never attacked or even threatened to attack them.  In the fog of fear, killing and stealing became acceptable. In fact, detention without charges and even torture became acceptable in the former capital of freedom. America has determined that the means justifies the end which is more power.

As with all empires, these “means” have become increasingly violent and destructive in the face of resistance.  Yet, only a few more dominoes are left to knock over for America to complete a plan set in motion well before they were one of the colonies.  That is unless, of course, other world powers break ranks and attempt to stop the conquerors, which could lead to a large scale conflict.

Regardless, when the dust settles and moral history is written, America and her Western cohorts will likely be viewed as the most brutal empire in history.  Here are ten reasons why this is already the case:

 

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ziW0uRVXDeM/Trdbyofg0wI/AAAAAAAAMO4/aHNh5p76jQE/s200/rumsfeld+saddam.jpg


#1. 
Support of Dictators: For all the happy talk of spreading Democracy and protecting human rights, the empire has repeatedly not only supported dictators, but in many cases overthrew popularly elected leaders and replaced them with puppet tyrants.  Examples range from secretly funding the Nazis, to installing the Shah in Iran, Pinochet in Chile, supporting Musharraf in Pakistan, and their everlasting love affair with the brutal Saudi royal family, to name a few.  Actions speak louder than words to those who can navigate the storm of propaganda with a moral compass set to recognize good from evil.  Dictators and freedom cannot coexist.


#2. 
Preemptive Wars of Aggression: It could be said that all wars are preemptive in nature because so many entities benefit from war.  Yet, even before Americas latest crusades, they covertly and surgically attacked countries that never threatened them.  This allowed them to maintain the moral high road in the publics eye while constructing the foundation of their empire.  That was until the Bush Doctrine; the use of preemptive military action to confront possible threats was unofficially adopted to be the new foreign policy for combating terror.  Since then, America has become the violent aggressors, having officially invaded two countries Afghanistan and Iraq without legitimate provocation.  Violent aggressors have always been judged by history as evil. But it gets worse.

#3. Torture: Torture has never been acceptable by those promoting a high moral standing in the global community.  Nazis and Japanese soldiers were convicted and executed for engaging in the exact same torture techniques that America has redefined as enhanced interrogationI was just following orders, was not a justifiable excuse for such inhumane behavior, much like it wasnt a good enough defense for the low-ranking patsies who took the heat for the sinister Abu Ghraib torture scandal even though their actions were approved at the highest levels.  Can state-sanctioned torture of prisoners held without charges ever be viewed as anything less than brutal?

 

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KxpFlJBhceI/TrdWSTR6itI/AAAAAAAAMOQ/OEHWeOqQW0g/s200/dees+activists.jpg

 

#4. Suppression of Dissent: All tyrannical regimes throughout history have suppressed homeland dissent.  As government oppression grows bolder at home and abroad, more citizens will naturally express outrage, resulting in even more oppressive controls.  This is happening in the United States through the all-seeing eye of the Department of Homeland Security with warrantless spying, arbitrary watch lists, citizen spy campaigns, and TSA molestation to travel anywhere.  Additionally, in an attempt to squash free speech, they arbitrarily seize websites and violently confront peaceful protesters.  Unfortunately, as awareness of the topics in this very article expands, the U.S. will likely become even bolder in their pursuit of stifling dissent.  In other words, the worst is yet to come, and history will judge the U.S. as not quite the beacon of freedom they have pretended to be.

 

#5. Elimination of Habeas Corpus: Say goodbye to the notion of being innocent until proven guilty, the right to face charges and your accuser, and the right to a free and fair trial.  Habeas corpus, considered the only humane path to which a prisoner can be released from unlawful detention, has been eliminated for those vaguely labeled enemy combatants of the empire.  As Guantanamo prisoners rot under such pretenses, prominent lawmakers in the empire propose the exact same lack of rights for American citizens if theyre labeled an enemy belligerent.  Similar to the Spanish Inquisition, now youre guilty until youre tortured to admit your guilt.  Can it get more evil? Why yes, it can. Read on.

#6. Assassinating Citizens: Thats right.  No judge, no jury, no conviction; just straight to execution. America has set another precedent in their tyrannical march toward empire when they openly assassinated an American citizen and government patsy, Anwar al-Awlaki, and his teenage son on the suspicion of terrorism.  Paul Craig Roberts laments Now the US government not only can seize a US citizen and confine him in prison for the rest of his life without ever presenting evidence and obtaining a conviction, but also can have him shot down in the street or blown up by a drone.  Isnt this the reason America claims to be knocking off dictators around the world the deliberate killing of their own citizens?

But Awlaki was a bad apple because the intelligence community said so. Whats most telling that America will continue this wickedness is that almost every US lawmaker turned a blind eye to the grotesque violation of Constitutional rights. Only Ron Paul said that assassinating an American citizen without charges is nothing less than an impeachable offense.  Too bad most of the country cheered the Awlaki killing as a victory in the war on terror, indicating that it is now an acceptable tactic.  Americans beware: you may be moved from a secret watch list to a secret kill list in this brutal empire.

#7. Unauthorized Drone Wars: Unprovoked wars without authorization, accountability, or independent oversight only seem to be escalating; and with little resistance. The US Congress no longer votes to declare war.  They simply give the Commander in Chief broad authorization to use force against specific nations. However, even that is not broad enough in the rapid pursuit of empire.  Now, joystick warriors directed by the CIA and Pentagon have targeted at least three countries with unauthorized military strikes; Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia.  Even worse, they waged a full-scale war for regime change and resource plundering in Libya without any authority inside the United States.  Under the NATO flag, which is 75% funded by the U.S., they flew over 9200 strike sorties in Libya to illegally topple Gaddafi.  Drunk with success, the bloodthirsty empire marches on to their next preemptive targets, Syria and Iran.  Quick morality check: unprovoked killing and stealing as a first resort is still wrong, right?

 

#8. Use of Weapons of Mass Destruction: How ironic that the worlds policeman for weapons of mass destruction is the only one to use them on a mass scale.  The United States is on record using chemical, biological and even nuclear weapons.  From the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in WWII, to MonsantoAgent Orange in Vietnam, to the depleted uranium used in Afghanistan and Iraq, America only condemns itself when speaking about the evils of WMDs. However, killers dont appear to care how the killing is accomplished, so long as it achieves their goals.  The real firecrackers will likely be brought out in a confrontation with Iran, or if China and Russia are lured into the conflict.  It wont really matter much what history says if the use of WMD escalates by either side, but the aggressors should rightly be blamed for the ensuing scorched earth, while the defenders against killers and thieves should be viewed as righteous.

 

#9. Worlds Largest Drug Dealer: The American empire is the largest drug dealer in the world?  Say it isnt so. Well, in addition to forcing legal drugs and genetically modified organisms on nations, usually under the cover of foreign aid, America also leads in the illegal drug trade.  In fact, many researchers reveal that the war on drugs is only utilized to control and monopolize the illicit drug trade.  The US government has been caught multiple times shipping in cocainecolluding with certain cartels to control the industry, and now openly protects and transports opium from Afghanistan.  In fact, Global Research points out that in 2001, according to UN figures, opium production had fallen to 185 tons. Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the worlds opium production; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tonnes.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they cant hide the hypocrisy forever.

 

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uY_ZP5f24y8/TrdZ3Bs9HhI/AAAAAAAAMOo/FgB0_Ri48LU/s1600/pyramid.jpg

 

#10. World Reserve Currency Prison: Although using Weapons of Mass Debt is a non-violent form of expanding the empire, its perhaps the most brutal and effective form of control.  Requiring foreign nations to purchase oil and other imported commodities with US dollars wields immense power.  Because all nations must acquire dollars to purchase critical resources, they quickly become indebted to the US Federal Reserve, their affiliate central banks, and the IMF.  Before long, the entire world is colonized by debt.  It seems that only the nations that dont need or refuse credit from Western banking institutions are the ones in danger of facing the wrath of the imperial war machine. Incidentally, most oil-rich nations in the Middle East have outlawed usury (lending money with interest), making them impossible to conquer diplomatically through debt.  Controlling the world reserve currency means controlling the tap of life itself, which is a dangerous weapon in the hands of an aggressive empire.  Debt is the ultimate WMD the empire uses to enslave the world, which leaves dissidents with two clear choices: slavery or death.

Although this empire is infinitely more powerful than Rome was, it will suffer the same fate.  For every negative action the empire commits, theres an equal and opposite good reaction. And the goodness of humanity will always defeat tyranny when it goes too far.  However, an empire with so much to lose will go down swinging and slinging every weapon in its arsenal, thus putting the final stamp on their status as most brutal empire in history.

 

 

 

 

Extreme Poverty Is Now At Record Levels 19 Statistics About The Poor That Will Absolutely Astound You  According to the U.S. Census Bureau, a higher percentage of Americans is living in extreme poverty than they have ever measured before.  The Economic Collapse November 5, 2011

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, a higher percentage of Americans is living in extreme poverty than they have ever measured before.  In 2010, we were told that the economy was recovering, but the truth is that the number of the very poor soared to heights never seen previously.  Back in 1993 and back in 2009, the rate of extreme poverty was just over 6 percent, and that represented the worst numbers on record.  But in 2010, the rate of extreme poverty hit a whopping 6.7 percent.  That means that one out of every 15 Americans is now considered to be very poor.  For many people, this is all very confusing because their guts are telling them that things are getting worse and yet the mainstream media keeps telling them that everything is just fine.  Hopefully this article will help people realize that the plight of the poorest of the poor continues to deteriorate all across the United States.  In addition, hopefully this article will inspire many of you to lend a hand to those that are truly in need.

Tonight, there are more than 20 million Americans that are living in extreme poverty.  This number increases a little bit more every single day.  The following statistics that were mentioned in an article in The Daily Mail should be very sobering for all of us.

About 20.5 million Americans, or 6.7 percent of the U.S. population, make up the poorest poor, defined as those at 50 per cent or less of the official poverty level.

Those living in deep poverty represent nearly half of the 46.2 million people scraping by below the poverty line. In 2010, the poorest poor meant an income of $5,570 or less for an individual and $11,157 for a family of four.

That 6.7 percent share is the highest in the 35 years that the Census Bureau has maintained such records, surpassing previous highs in 2009 and 1993 of just over 6 percent.

Sadly, the wealthy and the poor are being increasingly segregated all over the nation.  In some areas of the U.S. you would never even know that the economy was having trouble, and other areas resemble third world hellholes.  In most U.S. cities today, there are the good neighborhoods and there are the bad neighborhoods.

According to a recent Bloomberg article, the very poor are increasingly being pushed into these bad neighborhoods”….

At least 2.2 million more Americans, a 33 percent jump since 2000, live in neighborhoods where the poverty rate is 40 percent or higher, according to a study released today by the Washington-based Brookings Institution.

Of course they dont have much of a choice.  They cant afford to live where most of the rest of us do.

Today, there are many Americans that openly look down on the poor, but that should never be the case.  We should love the poor and want to see them lifted up to a better place.  The truth is that with a few bad breaks any of us could end up in the ranks of the poor.  Compassion is a virtue that all of us should seek to develop.

Not only that, but the less poor people and the less unemployed people we have, the better it is for our economy.  When as many people as possible in a nation are working and doing something economically productive, that maximizes the level of true wealth that a nation is creating.

But today we are losing out on a massive amount of wealth.  We have tens of millions of people that are sitting at home on their couches.  Instead of creating something of economic value, the rest of us have to support them financially.  That is not what any of us should want.

It is absolutely imperative that we get as many Americans back to work as possible.  The more people that are doing something economically productive, the more wealth there will be for all of us.

That is why it is so alarming that the ranks of the very poor are increasing so dramatically.  When the number of poor people goes up, the entire society suffers.

So just how bad are things right now?

The following are 19 statistics about the poor that will absolutely astound you.

#1 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the percentage of very poor rose in 300 out of the 360 largest metropolitan areas during 2010.

#2 Last year, 2.6 million more Americans descended into poverty.  That was the largest increase that we have seen since the U.S. government began keeping statistics on this back in 1959.

#3 It isnt just the ranks of the very poor that are rising.  The number of those just considered to be poor is rapidly increasing as well.  Back in the year 2000, 11.3% of all Americans were living in poverty.  Today, 15.1% of all Americans are living in poverty.

#4 The poverty rate for children living in the United States increased to 22% in 2010.

#5 There are 314 counties in the United States where at least 30% of the children are facing food insecurity.

#6 In Washington D.C., the child food insecurity rate is 32.3%.

#7 More than 20 million U.S. children rely on school meal programs to keep from going hungry.

#8 One out of every six elderly Americans now lives below the federal poverty line.

#9 Today, there are over 45 million Americans on food stamps.

#10 According to the Wall Street Journal, nearly 15 percent of all Americans are now on food stamps.

#11 In 2010, 42 percent of all single mothers in the United States were on food stamps.

#12 The number of Americans on food stamps has increased 74% since 2007.

#13 We are told that the economy is recovering, but the number of Americans on food stamps has grown by another 8 percent over the past year.

#14 Right now, one out of every four American children is on food stamps.

#15 It is being projected that approximately 50 percent of all U.S. children will be on food stamps at some point in their lives before they reach the age of 18.

#16 More than 50 million Americans are now on Medicaid.  Back in 1965, only one out of every 50 Americans was on Medicaid.  Today, approximately one out of every 6 Americans is on Medicaid.

#17 One out of every six Americans is now enrolled in at least onegovernment anti-poverty program.

#18 The number of Americans that are going to food pantries and soup kitchens has increased by 46% since 2006.

#19 It is estimated that up to half a million children may currently be homeless in the United States.

Sadly, we dont hear much about this on the nightly news, do we?

This is because the mainstream media is very tightly controlled.

I came across a beautiful illustration of this recently.  If you do not believe that the news in America is scripted, just watch this video starting at the 1:15 mark.  Conan OBrien does a beautiful job of demonstrating how news anchors all over the United States are often repeating the exact same words.

So dont rely on the mainstream media to tell you everything.

In this day and age, it is absolutely imperative that we all think for ourselves.

It is also absolutely imperative that we have compassion on our brothers and sisters.

Winter is coming up, and if you see someone that does not have a coat, dont be afraid to offer to give them one.

All over the United States (and all around the world), there are orphans that are desperately hurting.  As you celebrate the good things that you have during this time of the year, dont forget to remember them.

We should not expect that the government will take care of everyone that is hurting.

The reality is that millions of people fall through the safety net.

Being generous and being compassionate are qualities that all of us should have.

Yes, times are going to get harder and an economic collapse is coming.

That just means that we should be more generous and more compassionate than we have ever been before.

Sheriff: Fast and Furious Bigger Scandal Than Watergate   http://www.prisonplanet.com/sheriff-fast-and-furious-bigger-scandal-than-watergate.html   Paul Joseph Watson | Over two dozen Republicans call for Holder to resign. Though heavily redacted, the documents directly discuss Operation Fast and Furious and how it involves trafficking firearms to Mexico. Tuesday, November 1, 2011

Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu joined over two dozen Republican lawmakers in calling on Attorney General Eric Holders to resign over Operation Fast and Furious, the gunrunning program that saw the ATF deliver some 2,000 guns directly into the hands of Mexican drug gangs, labeling the scandal worse than the Watergate cover-up that brought down the Nixon White House.

Noting that two of the guns involved in the program were found at the scene where U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry was shot to death, Babeu warned that if Holder attempted to stay in power, he could bring down the entire Obama administration.

I thought it was a telling sign when President Obama embraced him and gave him the Al Capone hug and the Scarface whisper in the ear that I support you. He did this publicly. I thought, `Wow, this is his last hours here, that hes on his way out, Babeu told KTAR News.

Holder is set to testify once more on the subject in front of a Democratic-led Senate committee on November 8.

By no means for the first time, if Eric Holder repeats his dubious contention that Fast and Furious only came to his attention when it became public knowledge, he will be knowingly committing perjury.

The head of the Justice Departments criminal division, Lanny A. Breuer, Holders subordinate who first learned of Fast and Furious in April 2010, sent Holder briefings concerning Fast and Furious in July 2010, almost a year before Holder told a Judiciary Committee hearing, Im not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks.

Holder also received the same briefing from the head of the National Drug Intelligence Center, internal DOJ documents obtained by CBS News show.

Internal Justice Department documents show that at least ten months before that hearing, Holder began receiving frequent memos discussing Fast and Furious, states the report.

The CBS News journalist behind the scoop, Sharyl Attkisson, was subjected to verbal abuse by the White House merely for asking questions about the controversy, and was warned not to pursue the story.

In addition, Holder himself gave testimony to Congress in May 2009 in which he spoke of efforts on behalf of the DOJ and the DHS to track weapons going from the U.S. into Mexico under Project Gunrunner, which was the umbrella program for subsequent operations like Fast and Furious.

It now appears as though Breuer is attempting to throw himself under the bus in an attempt to take the heat off his boss and be the fall guy for Fast and Furious.

Over two dozen Republican lawmakers have called for Holder to resign over his stonewalling on Fast and Furious, which is the subject of a congressional probe.

As we highlighted last week, Holder is not alone in his willingness to risk charges of perjury by lying in front of elected representatives.

Despite telling a House Judiciary Committee that she only learned of operation Fast and Furious in December last year when the controversy went public, Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano actually helped launch the previous incarnation of the program, Project Gunrunner, at a White House press conference in March 2009.

Napolitano, at one point likening the questioning to a cross-examination, said repeatedly she only learned of Fast and Furious after Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed in December, reported Fox News. She emphasized the operation, conceived and run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, was an ATF operation, under the auspices of the Justice Department, not her department.

However, as the video below illustrates, not only was Napolitano aware of the ATF program to put guns into the hands of Mexican drug lords, she actually helped launch the previous incarnation of it, Project Gunrunner, at a White House press conference alongside Deputy Attorney General David Ogden in March 2009.

BOOK WARNS OF END... BOOK WARNS OF END
Fri Oct 14 2011 07:00:25 ET

**Exclusive**

"As the faith that gave birth to the West is dying in the West, peoples of European descent from the steppes of Russia to the coast of California have begun to die out, as the Third World treks north to claim the estate. The last decade provided corroborating if not conclusive proof that we are in the Indian Summer of our civilization."

So begins Pat Buchanan in his hardcore work, SUICIDE OF A SUPERPOWER.

"Will America Survive to 2025?"

Buchanan, set for maximum controversy, launches all rockets at introduction "Disintegrating Nation" -- and does not let up for 400-plus pages.

"America is disintegrating. The centrifugal forces pulling us apart are growing inexorably. What unites us is dissolving. And this is true of Western Civilization....Meanwhile, the state is failing in its most fundamental duties. It is no longer able to defend our borders, balance our budgets, or win our wars."

The books reads as if its been written to be left behind in the ruins, only to be found by a future civilization.

SUICIDE ranked #2,668 on AMAZON's hit parade early Friday. It streets on Tuesday.

Now only the DRUDGE REPORT can offer a look inside.



Chapter 1: The Passing of a Superpower

“We have accepted today the existence in perpetuity of a permanent underclass of scores of millions who cannot cope and must be carried by society -- fed, clothed, housed, tutored, medicated at taxpayer’s expense their entire lives. We have a dependent nation the size of Spain in our independent America. We have a new division in our country, those who pay a double or triple fare, and those who ride forever free.”

Chapter 2. The End of Christian America

If [Christopher] Dawson is correct, the drive to de-Christianize America, to purge Christianity from the public square, public schools and public life, will prove culturally and socially suicidal for the nation.

“The last consequence of a dying Christianity is a dying people. Not one post-Christian nation has a birth rate sufficient to keep it alive....The death of European Christianity means the disappearance of the European tribe, a prospect visible in the demographic statistics of every Western nation.”

Chapter 3. The Crisis of Catholicism

“Half a century on, the disaster is manifest. The robust and confident Church of 1958 no longer exists. Catholic colleges and universities remain Catholic in name only. Parochial schools and high schools are closing as rapidly as they opened in the 1950s. The numbers of nuns, priests and seminarians have fallen dramatically. Mass attendance is a third of what it was. From the former Speaker of the House to the Vice President, Catholic politicians openly support abortion on demand.”

“How can Notre Dame credibly teach that all innocent life is sacred, and then honor a president committed to ensuring that a woman’s right to end the life of her innocent child remains sacrosanct?”

Chapter 4. The End of White America

“[W]hite America is an endangered species. By 2020, whites over 65 will out-number those 17 and under. Deaths will exceed births. The white population will begin to shrink and, should present birth rates persist, slowly disappear.”

“Mexico is moving north. Ethnically, linguistically and culturally, the verdict of 1848 is being over-turned. Will this Mexican nation within a nation advance the goals of the Constitution -- to “insure domestic tranquility” and ‘make us a more perfect union’? Or have we imperiled our union?” (Page 134)

Chapter 5. Demographic Winter

“Peoples of European descent are not only in a relative but a real decline. They are aging, dying, disappearing. This is the existential crisis of the West.” (Page 166)

“Not any Iranian weapon of mass destruction but demography is the existential crisis Israel faces....By mid-century...Palestinians west of the Jordan river will out-number Jews 2-1. Add Palestinians in Jordan, it is 3-1.”

“In a startling development of history, Russia’s population has fallen from 148 million in 1991 to 140 million today and is projected to plunge to 116 million by 2050, a loss of 32 million Russians in six decades.”

Chapter 6. Equality Vs. Freedom

“Those who would change society begin by changing the meaning of words. At Howard University, LBJ changed the meaning of equality from the attainable -- an end to segregation and a legislated equality of rights for African-Americans -- to the impossible: a socialist utopia.”

“Where equality is enthroned, freedom is extinguished. The rise of the egalitarian society means the death of the free society.”

“A time for truth. As most kids do not have the athletic ability to play high school sports, or the musical ability to play in the band, or the verbal ability to excel in debate, not every child has the academic ability to do high school work. No two children are created equal, not even identical twins. The family is the incubator of inequality and God its author.”

Chapter 7. The Diversity Cult

“The non-Europeanization of America is heartening news of an almost transcendental quality,” Wattenberg trilled.4 Yet, one wonders: What kind of man looks with transcendental joy to a day when the people among whom he was raised have become a minority in a nation where the majority rules?”

“Historians will look back in stupor at 20th and 21st century Americans who believed the magnificent republic they inherited would be enriched by bringing in scores of millions from the failed states of the Third World.”

Chapter 8: The Triumph Of Tribalism

America’s war of revenge against Japan was a race war. Newsreels, movies, magazines, comic books, headlines treated “Japs” as a repulsive race whose extermination would benefit mankind....Only well after the war was over was it re-branded a war to bring the blessings of democracy to...Japan.

We may deny the existence of ethnonationalism, detest it, condemn it. But this creator and destroyer of empires and nations is a force infinitely more powerful than globalism, for it engages the heart. Men will die for it. Religion, race, culture and tribe are the four horsemen of the coming apocalypse.

Chapter 9. ‘The White Party’

“Through its support of mass immigration, its paralysis in power to prevent 12-20 million illegal aliens from entering and staying, its failure to address the “anchor-baby” issue, the Republican Party has birthed a new electorate that will send it the way of the Whigs.”

Chapter 10: The Long Retreat

“We borrow from Europe to defend Europe. We borrow from the Gulf states to defend the Gulf states. We borrow from Japan to defend Japan. Is it not a symptom of senility to be borrowing from the world so we can defend the world?”

“Are vital U.S. interests more imperiled by what happens in Iraq where were have 50,000 troops, or Afghanistan where we have 100,000, or South Korea where we have 28,000 -- or by what is happening on our border with Mexico?...What does it profit America if we save Anbar and lose Arizona?”

Chapter 11: The Last Chance

“We are trying to create a nation that has never before existed, of all the races, tribes, cultures and creeds of Earth, where all are equal. In this utopian drive for the perfect society of our dreams we are killing the real country we inherited..’

SHRINK: Obama suffers from 'father hunger'... The abandonment by his father when he was an infant and by his stepfather at age 10 has left President Obama with a "father hunger" that influences everything from why he distances himself from pushy supporters, to his strong desire to compromise and bring people together, to his aggressive campaign to kill Osama bin Laden, says a psychoanalytic book out next week. In Obama on the Couch, George Washington University professor Justin Frank also reveals that Obama has spent much of his life seeking out father figures, but most, like Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Vice President Biden, have disappointed him. "Obama searched for a father, for someone to relate to who could help hima strong man who knew what to do," Frank writes.

[Check out photos of Obama behind the scenes.]

This is Frank's second psychoanalytical book about a president. While a sympathetic look at Obama, it follows Bush on the Couch, a sharply critical analysis that suggested then President George W. Bush was disturbed. In that book, he predicted that someone like Obama"completely different," "someone not ... white"would succeed Bush. What the nation ended up with, however, is "an almost tragic figure," Frank writes.

The general theme is that Obama has been affected both by being biracial and by the abandonment of his two dads during his childhood. The result is that he is overly protective of his own nuclear family, desires greatly to see national unity, and yet harbors anger that he took out on bin Laden. [Vote now: Will Obama be a one-term president?]

Take for example Obama's earlier willingness to compromise with Republicans, upsetting his liberal base. Here Frank cites the negative influence of his parents, especially his mom, who often pressed him to do better in school. "He hates being pushed by supporters who want him to make good on his promises of universal healthcare and care for the poor, something that represents his mother and how she pushed him to study harder," Frank writes. And when he ignores his base, he is emulating his father, expressing annoyance but not worried they will desert him.

As for bin Laden, Frank writes that Obama's inner anger emerged: "He was able to pursue his action against bin Laden in part because bin Laden offered a displacement figure for Obama's rage toward his own parents." [ I believe this is factually incorrect and was mere political desperation by wobama et als; see infra, Bin Laden Heroes Probably Murderered to Keep Them Quiet  ... Gordon Duff Veterans TodayFLASHBACK: Eyewitness to OBL Raid Saw Helicopter Explode (TRANSCRIPT) [ As indicated on this albertpeia.com website, I didnt buy the administrations desperate and politically opportunist Osama event and still dont buy it; and further, I believe this! ]Veterans Today | TRANSCRIPT of critical interview with Pakistani eyewitness to Bin Laden raid. Is this the key to SEAL Team 6s demise? [See a slide show of 10 issues driving Obama's re-election campaign.]

Frank also calls Obama scared of the type of radical change he advocated in 2008. "He wants to be the father who makes change safe, the person he has waited for his entire life."

BUCHANAN: Is the New World Order unraveling?  October 13, 2011 ‘With Greece on the precipice of default and Portugal and Italy approaching the ledge, the European monetary union appears in peril.

Should it collapse, the European Union itself could be in danger, for economic nationalism is rising in Europe. Which raises a larger question.

Is the New World Order, the great 20th century project of Western transnational elites, unraveling?

The NWO dates back as far as Woodrow Wilson's League of Nations, which a Republican Senate refused to enter. FDR, seeking to succeed where his mentor had failed, oversaw the creation of a United Nations, an International Monetary Fund and a World Bank.

In 1951 came the European Coal and Steel Community, love child of Jean Monnet, which evolved into the European Economic Community, the European Community and the European Union. A European Central Bank and a new currency, the euro, followed.

The hidden ultimate goal of economic union was political union a United States of Europe as model and core of the 21st-century world government.

Pat Buchanan's latest book -- the title says it all: "Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?"

With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the EU expanded to the east. And the New World Order, formally proclaimed by George H.W. Bush in 1991, was out in the open and seemingly the wave of the future.

Progress was swift.

A North American Free Trade Agreement, bringing the United States, Mexico and Canada into a common market that George W. Bush predicted would encompass the hemisphere from Patagonia to Prudhoe Bay, was signed in 1993.

A World Trade Organization was born in 1994. U.S. sovereignty was surrendered to a global body where America had the same single vote as Azerbaijan.

The Kyoto Protocol, brought home by Vice President Al Gore, set up a regime to control the worldwide emission of greenhouse gases.

An International Criminal Court, a permanent Nuremberg Tribunal to prosecute war crimes and crimes against humanity, was created.

A doctrine of limited sovereignty had been asserted. Elites claimed a higher law than national sovereignty; "a responsibility to protect" enabled them to intervene in countries where human rights violations were egregious.

Serbia, bombed by Bill Clinton for 78 days for fighting to hold its ancient province of Kosovo, was the first victim.

Suddenly, however, the progression has stalled. Indeed, the New World Order seems to be unraveling.

Emerging powers like China, India and Brazil are demanding they be exempt from restrictions developed countries seek to impose. The follow-up summits to Kyoto Copenhagen in 2009, Cancun in 2010 ended in failure. The Doha round of world trade negotiations ended in failure.

China refuses to let her currency float lest she lose the trade surpluses that have enabled her to amass $3 trillion in cash reserves.

Protectionism is rising. Americans chafe at a new world economic order that has led to deindustrialization of their country. Congress is talking of defunding the U.N. as anti-Western and anti-Israel.

Why is the New World Order suddenly going in reverse?

A primary reason is the resurgence of nationalism. Nations are putting national interests ahead of any perceived global interests.

A second reason is the decline of a West whose project this was. We no longer dictate to the world, and the world no longer marches to our tune. The deficits and indebtedness of Western nations preclude more of the big wealth transfers in foreign aid that once bought us influence.

A third reason is demography. Not one European nation has a birth rate sufficient to replace its population. Europe's nations are aging, shrinking, dying. A depopulating Germany cannot carry forever the deficit-debtor nations of Club Med. The oldest nation, Japan, is on schedule to lose 25 million people by 2050, as is neighbor Russia.

Militarily, America remains the most powerful nation. But Iraq and Afghanistan have bled the country and left us without the certain attainment of our goals. Old allies like Turkey go their separate ways.

Ethno-nationalism also explains a disintegrating world order. Aspiring nations like Scotland, Catalonia, Padania, Flanders, Ingushetia, Dagestan, East Turkestan, Kurdistan and Baluchistan seek a place in the sun, free of the cloying embrace of the mother country.

The desire of peoples for nations all their own, where their own language, faith and culture predominate and their own kind rule to the exclusion of all others, is everywhere winning out over multiculturalism and transnationalism.

Through history there have been attempts to unite the world.

The Roman Empire. Catholicism. Islam. The West that ruled much of mankind from Columbus to the mid-20th century. Communism, which conquered half of Europe and Asia but arose and fell in a single century.

With the death of communism and the decline of the West in relative population and power Islam has become the largest religion, China the world's emerging superpower and Asia the continent of the future.

Could this still be the Second American Century?  [ Absolutely, unequivocally NOT! ]

Not the way we are going.’

Officials stated that the Fromms require a license to hold meetings in their home.San Juan Capistrano authorities claim home Bible study is not allowed because it is a church, and churches require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in residential areas.The Fromms face additional fines of $500 per meeting for any further religious gatherings in their home, according to the Pacific Justice Institute.The citys action is a brazen violation of the First Amendment, which guarantees free worship without government intervention.PJI and the Fromms plan to appeal a decision made by the city to uphold the fine and restriction to the California Superior Court in Orange County, according to KCOY 12 News, a Fox affiliate.Ironically, the city of San Juan Capistrano was founded as a mission in the late 1700s by Catholic priest Junipero Serra.

WIRELESS: Obama invested in Falcone-funded Co.... In ’05 Investing, Obama Took Same Path as Donors By MIKE McINTIRE and CHRISTOPHER DREW ‘Less than two months after ascending to the United States Senate, Barack Obama bought more than $50,000 worth of stock in two speculative companies whose major investors included some of his biggest political donors.

One of the companies was a biotech concern that was starting to develop a drug to treat avian flu. In March 2005, two weeks after buying about $5,000 of its shares, Mr. Obama took the lead in a legislative push for more federal spending to battle the disease.

The most recent financial disclosure form for Mr. Obama, an Illinois Democrat, also shows that he bought more than $50,000 in stock in a satellite communications business whose principal backers include four friends and donors who had raised more than $150,000 for his political committees.

A spokesman for Mr. Obama, who is seeking his partys presidential nomination in 2008, said yesterday that the senator did not know that he had invested in either company until fall 2005, when he learned of it and decided to sell the stocks. He sold them at a net loss of $13,000.

The spokesman, Bill Burton, said Mr. Obamas broker bought the stocks without consulting the senator, under the terms of a blind trust that was being set up for the senator at that time but was not finalized until several months after the investments were made.

He went about this process to avoid an actual or apparent conflict of interest, and he had no knowledge of the stocks he owned, Mr. Burton said. And when he realized that he didnt have the level of blindness that he expected, he moved to terminate the trust.

Mr. Obama has made ethics a signature issue, and his quest for the presidency has benefited from the perception that he is unlike politicians who blend public and private interests. There is no evidence that any of his actions ended up benefiting either company during the roughly eight months that he owned the stocks.

Even so, the stock purchases raise questions about how he could unwittingly come to invest in two relatively obscure companies, whose backers happen to include generous contributors to his political committees. Among those donors was Jared Abbruzzese, a New York businessman now at the center of an F.B.I. inquiry into public corruption in Albany, who had also contributed to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a group that sought to undermine John Kerrys Democratic presidential campaign in 2004.

Mr. Obama, who declined to be interviewed about the stock deals, has already had to contend with a controversy that arose out of his reliance on a major campaign contributor in Chicago to help him in a personal financial transaction. In that earlier case, he acknowledged last year that it had been a mistake to involve the contributor, a developer who has since been indicted in an unrelated political scandal, in deals related to the Obamas purchase of a home.

Senate ethics rules do not prohibit lawmakers from owning stocks even in companies that do business with the federal government or could benefit from legislation they advance and indeed other members of Congress have investments in government contractors. The rules say only that lawmakers should not take legislative actions whose primary purpose is to benefit themselves.

Mr. Obamas sale of his shares in the two companies ended what appears to have been a brief foray into highly speculative investing that stood out amid an otherwise conservative portfolio of mutual funds and cash accounts, a review of his Senate disclosure statements shows. He earned $2,000 on the biotech company, AVI BioPharma, and lost $15,000 on the satellite communications concern, Skyterra, according to Mr. Burton of the Obama campaign.

Mr. Burton said the trust was different from qualified blind trusts that other senators commonly used, because it was intended to allow him greater flexibility to address any accusations of conflicts that might arise from its assets. He said Mr. Obama had decided to sell the stocks after receiving a communication that made him concerned about how the trust was set up.

The investments came at a time when Mr. Obama was enjoying sudden financial success, following his victory at the polls in November 2004. He had signed a $1.9 million book deal, and his ethics disclosure reports show that he received $1.2 million of book money in 2005.

His wife, Michelle, a hospital vice president in Chicago, received a promotion that March, nearly tripling her salary to $317,000, and they bought a $1.6 million house in June. The house sat on a large property that was subdivided to make it more affordable, and one of Mr. Obamas political donors bought the adjacent lot.

The disclosure forms show that the Obamas also placed several hundred thousand dollars in a new private-client account at JPMorgan Chase, a bond fund and a checking account at a Chicago bank.

But he put $50,000 to $100,000 into an account at UBS, which his aides say was recommended to him by a wealthy friend, George W. Haywood, who was also a major investor in both Skyterra and AVI BioPharma, public securities filings show.

Mr. Haywood and his wife, Cheryl, have contributed close to $50,000 to Mr. Obamas campaigns and to his political action committee, the Hopefund. Mr. Haywood declined to comment.

Within two weeks of his purchase of the biotech stock that Feb. 22, Mr. Obama initiated what he has called one of my top priorities since arriving in the Senate, a push to increase federal financing to fight avian flu.

Several dozen people had already died from the disease in Southeast Asia, and experts were warning that a worldwide pandemic could kill tens of millions of people. Mr. Obama was one of the first political leaders to call for more money to head off the danger, which he described as an urgent public health threat.

His first step came on March 4, 2005, when the Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved his request for $25 million to help contain the disease in Asia; the full Senate later approved that measure. And in April 2005, he introduced a bill calling for more research on avian flu drugs and urging the government to increase its stockpiles of antiviral medicines.

Mr. Obama repeated this call in a letter that Aug. 9 to Michael O. Levitt, the health and human services secretary. And in September 2005, Mr. Obama and Senator Tom Harkin, Democrat of Iowa, succeeded in amending another bill to provide $3.8 billion for battling the flu.

Meanwhile, the drug company in which he invested, AVI BioPharma, had been working to develop its own medicine to treat avian flu victims. In a conference call with Wall Street analysts on March 8, 2005, the companys chairman, Denis R. Burger, said the firm was aggressively going forward with its avian flu research and hoped to work with federal agencies on it.

The company, which is also developing medicines in a number of other areas, provided several updates on its avian flu research in 2005, including one on Oct. 21 saying the company was likely to develop a treatment for avian flu in a relatively short time.

Mr. Obama sold what appears to have been about 2,000 shares of the companys stock a week later, when it traded at about $3.50 a share, or about $1 a share more than when he bought it. Company officials said they never talked to the senator about his work on avian flu. And while the company has received millions of dollars in federal money to develop drugs for treating ebola and other serious diseases, it still has not received any federal money for its avian flu research.

The companys stock briefly surged to nearly $9 a share in January 2006 when it announced promising research findings on the flu drug. But the company still has not applied for federal approvals to test and market the drug.

Unlike his investment in AVI, which yielded a small profit, Mr. Obamas stake in Skyterra Communications went in the opposite direction, despite a promising start.

He bought his Skyterra shares the same day the Federal Communications Commission ruled in favor of the companys effort to create a nationwide wireless network by combining satellites and land-based communications systems. Immediately after that morning ruling, Tejas Securities, a regional brokerage in Texas that handled investment banking for Skyterra, issued a research report speculating that Skyterra stock could triple in value.

Tejas and people associated with it were major donors to Mr. Obamas political committees, having raised more than $150,000 since 2004. The companys chairman, John J. Gorman, has held fund-raisers for the senator in Austin, Tex., and arranged for him to use a private plane for several political events in 2005. Mr. Gorman declined to comment.

In May 2005, Mr. Abbruzzese, who was vice chairman of Tejas and a principal investor in Skyterra, contributed $10,000 along with his wife to Mr. Obamas political action committee a departure from his almost exclusive support of Republicans. Eight months earlier, for instance, he had contributed $5,000 to the Swift Boat group, and he has given $100,000 to the Republican National Committee since 2004.

Last year, Mr. Abbruzzese, a major investor in several high-tech companies in New York and elsewhere, emerged as a central figure in the federal investigation of the New York State Senate majority leader, Joseph L. Bruno. The inquiry is examining Mr. Brunos personal business dealings, including whether he accepted money from Mr. Abbruzzese in return for Senate approval of grants for one of Mr. Abbruzzeses companies. Both men have denied any wrongdoing. Mr. Abbruzzese did not return phone calls seeking comment.

Skyterras share price was lifted into the $40 range for a time on the strength of the F.C.C. ruling, but eventually drifted down into the low 30s, and was at $31 when Mr. Obama sold his shares for a $15,000 loss on Nov. 1, 2005. A few months later, it plunged into the $20 range, and today trades below $10 a share. A spokesman for Skyterra said the companys top officials had not been aware of Mr. Obamas investment.

 

 

Joe McGinniss Sarah Palin Book, 'The Rogue,' Makes Controversial Claims About Former Alaska Governor  ‘Joe McGinniss's new book, The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin, hits bookstores next week, but its controversial claims about the former Alaska governor are already making waves.

In the book, McGinniss writes that Palin had a one-night stand in 1987 with future NBA basketball player Glen Rice nine months before she married her husband Todd. He quotes a friend who said Palin "had a fetish for black guys for a while."

"She was a gorgeous woman. Super nice. I was blown away by her," Rice tells McGinniss in the book, NBC reports. "Afterward, she was a big crush that I had."

McGinniss's book also alleges that Palin had an extramarital affair with her husband's business partner, Brad Hanson, in the mid-1990s, and snorted cocaine off a 55-gallon oil drum while snowboarding.

"An utter fraud. An absolute and utter fraud," McGinniss calls Palin in an interview about the book with NBC.

"At best, she's a hypocrite," McGinniss tells NBC's Savannah Guthrie. "At worst, she's a vindictive hypocrite."

McGinniss famously moved into a house next door to Palin's Wasilla, Alaska home to write his book -- prompting the Palins to accuse him of stalking them. They built a high fence along their property to protect their privacy.

In response to McGinniss's book, Todd Palin gave a statement to NBC saying that McGinniss "spent the last year interviewing marginal figures with an axe to grind in order to churn out a hit piece to satisfy his own creepy obsession with my wife."

"I'd ask the fathers and husbands of America to consider our privacy when one summer day I found this guy on the deck of the rental property, just 18 feet away next door to us, staring like a creep at my wife while she mowed the lawn in her shorts," Palin said.

McGinniss says that anything he learned about Palin by living next door did not make it into the book, but he does become a character in the story himself.

The New York Times writes in its review:

Soon Mr. McGinniss is settling in to enjoy the fuss his mere presence has created. "Normally, for a news story to continue beyond the first 24-hour news cycle, something newsworthy must occur," he writes loftily, but "The Rogue" is filled with proof to the contrary. What was his hate mail like? He quotes it. What did Glenn Beck call him? That’s here too. Who took umbrage at this venom and chose to help him? One man offered him a hideout, despite Mr. McGinniss's slight skepticism about his motives. "But you don’t know me," Mr. McGinniss protested.

McGinniss's book is scheduled to hit bookstores on Tuesday, Sept. 20.

Bristol Palin Interview Accidentally Reveals Mother's 15 Abortions  www.theonion.comWASILLA, AKSarah Palin's political team was forced to do emergency damage control Monday after the former Alaska governor's daughter Bristol accidentally divulged on live television that her mother has undergone at least 15 abortions over the past 30 years. "She's always telling me how special I am, especially considering the five or six babies she aborted before I was born," Palin, 20, said during a CNN interview in which she was asked if she thought her mother would make a good president. "Then of course there were the twins she aborted shortly after having me, another four abortions after Willow somehow survived hersbut anyway, she's a wonderful mom. She just gets pregnant a lot and doesn't always want to have the baby." Palin also commended her mother's strength in carrying three babies with Down syndrome to term, and then even choosing not to give Trig up for adoption like the others.

AMERICA FALLS TO 5TH PLACE...The U.S. has tumbled further down a global ranking of the world's most competitive economies, landing at fifth place because of its huge deficits and declining public faith in government, a global economic group said Wednesday.

The announcement by the World Economic Forum was the latest bad news for the Obama administration, which has been struggling to boost the sinking U.S. economy and lower an unemployment rate of more than 9 percent. Switzerland held onto the top spot for the third consecutive year in the annual ranking by the Geneva-based forum, which is best known for its exclusive meeting of luminaries in Davos, Switzerland, each January. Singapore moved up to second place, bumping Sweden down to third. Finland moved up to fourth place, from seventh last year. The U.S. was in fourth place last year, after falling from No. 1 in 2008.

The rankings, which the forum has issued for more than three decades, are based on economic data and a survey of 15,000 business executives.

The forum praised the U.S. for its productivity, highly sophisticated and innovative companies, excellent universities and flexible labor market. But it also cited "a number of escalating weaknesses" such as rising government debt and declining public faith in political leaders and corporate ethics.

The results of a survey of 142 nations comes a day before Obama is preparing to tackle jobs issues in a speech to the U.S. Congress, and just as U.S. polls show a clear majority of those surveyed say they disapprove of the way Obama is handling the economy.

 

Switzerland held onto its top ranking, the forum said, because of "continuing strong performance across the board" with innovation, technological readiness, even-handed regulation and having one of the world's most stable economic environments.

Germany, Europe's economic powerhouse, was sixth, followed by the Netherlands and Denmark. Japan came in ninth, and Britain was 10th. France was 18th, and Greece, saddled with debt, fell to 90th.

The report looked at broader trends: While the U.S. slipped, emerging markets gained traction. China took 26th place, highest among major emerging economies; Brazil was 53rd; India was 56th; and Russia was 66th.

"Fiscal imbalances that have been building up around the world are really a danger to future competitiveness, in terms of the ability of countries to invest in those things that will be very important for competitiveness going forward, things like education, infrastructure and so on," said Jennifer Blanke, an economist with the forum.

[ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims).. while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a park - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DAs position with both felonies ( he went to prison pled out ).

The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 blacks and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA.

Dick Cheneys self-serving memoir  REVIEW | In My Time serves mainly to reaffirm the former vice presidents lack of regrets. (Washington Post) [ Yes. Lack of regrets. That is exactly what youd expect from an unconflicted psychopath as war criminal cheney most certainly is. The unassuming cheney, barely noticeable in his prior manifestations in one form / position or another, in trying so desperately to imprint himself on the administration of fellow war criminal and moron bush, has been nothing short of disastrous for the world and this country particularly. Clearly, the meds cheneys had to consistently take have shaken up / messed up his body / brain chemistry to the point where cheneys nothing less than psychotic in the most negative sense. Indeed, his change  from somewhat balanced to psychopathic was not lost on former supporter / endorser Gerald Ford who commented publicly, albeit euphemistically, on how mean cheney had become. Such is the way / demeanor of a psychopath upon that defining break from sanity. For those soldiers who were called upon to carry out his sociopathic obsessions, his message to them in explaining his 5 deferments when his nation called on him was that he had better, more important things to do (school deferments). Psychopath that cheney is, and nothing more, who has cost this world and nation immeasurably, cheney is indeed the proverbial dead man walking.  Dick Cheney: One Year As a Walking Zombie Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones | Former VP marks anniversary as member of the living dead.  10 Indications The United States Is A Dictatorship    http://www.activistpost.com/2011/05/10-indications-united-states-is.html   8. Torture: Torture has long been a tactic used by America. In fact it runs the leading school on its methods.  The School of the Americas has been responsible for training Latin American dictators and their thugs on how to intimidate the local population and rule with an iron fist.  However, the torture debate has hit mainstream media in a serious discussion about its effectiveness, especially following the assassination of Osama bin Laden.  Aside from the despicable morals involved, torture doesnt work for intelligence gathering, according to experts.  Furthermore, the legalization of torture was what really brought the dreaded Russian secret police out into the open.  When such a declaration is made, it is literally a recruiting strategy to find the criminals and sadists who would love to be part of such a system.  Torture is not normal work for normal people; it is the work of psychopaths such as Dick Cheney who loves the tactic of waterboarding so much that he has stated it should be brought back and used more widely.  No nation that uses torture to obtain confessions can be called legitimate. It is only used as a tool of intimidation and oppression by totalitarian regimes…’

Play It Again Sam: Dave's Daily  [ As always, Dave is spot-on as an astute, knowledgeable, seasoned veteran of the markets. ] In our little village in New Hampshire (call it Whoville) there's a summer stock playhouse a block or so from us. They have many good plays but no matter the production or quality, they can't top Wall Street from delivering great performances. Thursday was another great show starring Jobless Claims, Warren Buffet, HAL 9000s, Steve Jobs and, of course, Da Boyz running the CRIMEX (COMEX and CME) on precious metals options expiration.   

The spin on Jobless Claims data was prior claims were adjusted higher making recent higher claims look not so bad especially when you add Verizon workers.

The first chart features the quotes per second (NOTE: one instance exceeding 800 quotes per second). The next chart shows the market's simultaneous reaction.

Steve Jobs sadly is retiring from his leading role as Apple (AAPL) CEO but the stock hardly budged given the products and brand are already well-known and his retirement was much anticipated.

Last, but not least certainly, was the performance of Da Boyz production of gold price manipulation. The first bear raid occurred Tuesday as The Shanghai Gold Exchange raised margins putting pressure on prices Wednesday in the U.S. Not so secretly evidently, Da Boyz met in Chicago and determined to raise gold margins after the close of trading on Wednesday--this being done with prices already down $100. This action was obviously leaked to those in the options pits and the impact enhanced with options expiration Thursday. So we gapped down lower with this event no doubt triggering more stops. This made the strike price hunt down profitable for those on the floor. Once those cleared we rallied back and closed slightly higher on the day.

Meanwhile, back at Wall & Broad stocks fell sharply because evidently there's some concern Ben will do nothing in launching another round of QE from Jackson Hole. Bond prices were higher as was the dollar while commodity prices overall were mixed.

Volume was higher once again on selling and breadth per the WSJ was quite negative putting more life back into the roller coaster ride…’

 

Play it again Sam  http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/284700.html   ORIGIN

Bogart's supposed line from Casablanca. This is well-known as one of the most widely misquoted lines from films. The actual line in the film is 'Play it, Sam'. Something approaching 'Play it again, Sam' is first said in the film by Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) in an exchange with the piano player 'Sam' (Dooley Wilson):

Ilsa: Play it once, Sam. For old times' sake.
Sam: I don't know what you mean, Miss Ilsa.
Ilsa: Play it, Sam. Play "As Time Goes By."
Sam: Oh, I can't remember it, Miss Ilsa. I'm a little rusty on it.
Ilsa: I'll hum it for you. Da-dy-da-dy-da-dum, da-dy-da-dee-da-dum...
Ilsa: Sing it, Sam.

The line is usually associated with Humphrey Bogart and later in the film his character Rick Blaine has a similar exchange, although his line is simply 'Play it':

Rick: You know what I want to hear.
Sam: No, I don't.
Rick: You played it for her, you can play it for me!
Sam: Well, I don't think I can remember...
Rick: If she can stand it, I can! Play it! ‘

Buchanan: The view from Martha's Vineyard... Patrick J. Buchanan As he and his daughters bicycle around the summer playground of the Northeastern elite, Martha's Vineyard, President Obama is steadily bleeding away both the support of the nation and that of his most loyal constituency. Several times, his approval rating in Gallup's daily tracking poll has sunk to 39 percent, with disapproval reaching 54 percent. Support for his handling of the economy has dipped to the mid-20s. Only 11 percent of Americans, says Gallup, are satisfied with the way things are going. Unemployment remains at 9 percent, as it has for two years. The Dow has lately lost 2,000 points, or $3 trillion in wealth wiped out. All that money the Fed pumped out is now being reflected not only in the price of gold, silver and Swiss francs, but in rising consumer prices inflation. One in five U.S. children is living in poverty.

Middle America, some time ago, decided the "hopey, changey thing" was not working out for them. Now the patience of African-Americans with a president for whom they voted 24 to one is wearing thin.

At a Black Caucus confab in Detroit, Rep. Maxine Waters told an angry audience that if and when Black America demands that they confront Obama, the caucus is ready "to have the conversation."

A collision between Obama and his base seems inevitable. For Black America's situation, though tough today, seems certain to get tougher. Why?

First, black Americans held a significant share of the subprime mortgages that went sour when housing prices went south, and are thus overrepresented among those who lost homes.

Second, black Americans, with a higher rate of poverty, depend more on the entitlement and social programs that Obama cannot avoid hoisting onto the chopping block in any "balanced" plan for dealing with the deficit-debt crisis.

Third, African-Americans are overrepresented among the 22 million who work for local, state and federal governments. And while government workers came out best in terms of job security and salary hikes in the stimulus days of 2009 and 2010, in the austerity days of 2011, they are getting their fair share of pink slips. It is almost a truism: Whenever Middle America goes into recession, Black America flirts with depression.

Consider the U.S. Postal Service, with 600,000 employees, running a deficit of $8.5 billion and facing layoffs of 120,000. According to William Burrus, ex-president of the Postal Workers Union, 21 percent of all postal employees are black. When the cuts come, minorities will take a big hit.

That African-Americans favor a powerful federal government is understandable. After all, it was the federal government that crushed the Confederacy, freed the slaves, sent troops to integrate the South, enacted the civil rights laws, imposed affirmative action on companies and colleges, and created the Great Society that provided trillions in wealth transfers and welfare benefits and employs a share of the black population that is nearly twice its representation in the labor force.

That African-Americans would see states' rights conservatives and small-government Republicans as hostile to the one powerful institution most friendly to them should come as a no surprise.

Here we come to Barack's dilemma.

The nation he leads is facing a deficit-debt crisis that comes of an inescapable truth: Whether we are talking about commitments to go to war to defend scores of nations or commitments to entitlement and Great Society programs such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, earned income tax credits, food stamps and Pell grants, we Americans have handed out promissory notes we no longer have the means to meet.

We can no longer deliver what we have promised.

We are running deficits of 10 percent of gross domestic product with a national debt over 100 percent. We are on the path that Italy is following, which is the path that Greece pursued.

We are an overextended empire and commonwealth facing strategic and fiscal bankruptcy. If Obama is to lead the nation out of the crisis it confronts, he has to preside over a downsizing of the welfare-warfare state the same state that sustains his base.

Not to worry, we are told. When the lazy days of summer are over, Obama will present Congress with his big plan for resurrecting the economy and ensuring the long-term solvency of the nation.

Obama's September program indeed, any credible plan to revive the economy and bring our books into balance has to include a rollback of U.S. commitments at home and abroad.

Yet, domestically, this cannot be done without reducing future Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid benefits, and cutting and capping the social programs of the Great Society. Moreover, half the nation cannot freeload forever, as is the case today, contributing nary a dime in federal income taxes.

And such reforms must adversely impact most Obama's political and personal base.

If he proposes new taxes, tea-party Republicans fix bayonets.

If he proposes downsizing the government and cutting and capping social programs, his most loyal constituents rise up against him.

Enjoy the Vineyard, Mr. President. Read more: The view from Martha's Vineyard http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=335265#ixzz1VQWOeKDx

SEC accused of destroying files Former agency official says SEC violated federal law by destroying records of enforcement cases in which it decided not to file charges. (Washington Post) [ Duh, ya think? The frauds on wall street et als should be criminally prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed!     SEC destroyed documents, senator says 17 Aug 2011 The Securities and Exchange Commission may have destroyed documents and compromised enforcement case ...   Grassley: Agency may have got rid of Goldman, Madoff documents   Ronald D. Orol, MarketWatch WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) The Securities and Exchange Commission may have destroyed documents and compromised enforcement cases involving activity at large banks and hedge funds during the height of the financial crisis in 2008, according to allegations made by a lawmaker on Wednesday. From what Ive seen, it looks as if the SEC might have sanctioned some level of case-related document destruction, said Sen. Chuck Grassley, Republican of Iowa, in a letter to the agencys chairman, Mary Schapiro. Sen. Chuck Grassley  It doesnt make sense that an agency responsible for investigations would want to get rid of potential evidence. If these charges are true, the agency needs to explain why it destroyed documents, how many documents it destroyed over what timeframe, and to what extent its actions were consistent with the law. Agency staff destroyed over 9,000 files related to preliminary agency investigations, according to a letter sent in July to Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and obtained by MarketWatch. The allegations were made by SEC enforcement attorney, Darcy Flynn, in a letter to Grassley. Flynn is a current employee, and according to the letter, received a bonus for his past years work. Flynn alleges the SEC destroyed files related to matters being examined in important cases such as Bernard Madoff and a $50 billion Ponzi scheme he operated as well as an investigation involving Goldman Sachs Group Inc. GS +0.33%   trading in American International Group credit-default swaps in 2009. Flynn also alleged that the agency destroyed documents and information collected for preliminary investigations at Wells Fargo & Co. WFC +1.34% , Bank of America Corp. BAC +0.81% , Citigroup C +0.13%  , Credit Suisse CS +0.38%  , Deutsche Bank DB +0.79%  Morgan Stanley MS -0.06%  and the now-bankrupt Lehman Brothers. The letter goes into particular detail about Deutsche Bank, the former employer of current SEC enforcement chief Robert Khuzami as well as former enforcement chiefs Gary Lynch and Richard Walker…’

SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE DEBT LIMIT
Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

ATF Chief Melson:Justice Department trying to shield officials (LATimes) Serrano

 

I believe him!


 I truly empathize with the ATF in terms of government cover-ups, notably by even the DOJ. Youll recognize some familiar names (ie., Alito, Trump, Freeh (Louis Freeh now has dual citizenship with Italy), and some familiar crimes (ie., drug money laundering, etc. real cash cow for govt ops, bribes, etc.). [Did you know this about the following ATF Agents who were probably viewed as loose ends: Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeahan & Conway LeBleu:   Died February 28, 1993 by gunfire at Waco. All four were examined by a pathologist and died from identical wounds to the left temple. All four had been body guards for Bill Clinton, three while campaigning for President and when he was Governor of Arkansas.They also were the ONLY 4 BATF agents killed at Waco. ]

 

 

 

Heres some real, complicit cover-up / fraud on the part of the federal government, et als:

Dear Sir:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computers browser) as per your offices request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which Ive installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named 112208opocoan). The (civil) RICO action (as youre aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBIs LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation Andrew Maloneys the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..

Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.

The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages:   [  Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File        Page 1                Page 2          ]

Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [   transcript in pertinent part -     crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf   ]

Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.],   Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

David Starkey On UK Riots: Whites Have Become Black You Tube | A particular sort of violent destructive, nihilistic gangster culture has become the fashion. [ Britain burns the colour of  'A Clockwork Orange' Financial Times [ Truly a great film by any cinematic standard by Stanley Kubrick based on the book of the same name by Anthony Burgess, A Clockwork Orange takes place in a futuristic city governed by a repressive, totalitarian super-State. In this society, ordinary citizens have fallen into a passive stupor of complacency, blind to the insidious growth of a rampant, violent youth culture. The protagonist of the story is Alex, a fifteen-year-old boy who narrates in a teenage slang called nadsat, which incorporates elements of Russian and Cockney English. Alex leads a small gang of teenage criminalsDim, Pete, and Georgiethrough the streets, robbing and beating men and raping women. Alex and his friends spend the rest of their time at the Korova Milkbar, an establishment that serves milk laced with drugs, and a bar called the Duke of New York http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/clockworkorange/summary.html   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Clockwork_Orange_%28film%29   A Clockwork Orange is a 1971 British darkly satirical science fiction film adaptation of Anthony Burgess's 1962 novel of the same name. This cinematic adaptation was produced, directed, and written by Stanley Kubrick. It features disturbing, violent images, to facilitate social commentary about psychiatry, youth gangs, and other contemporary social, political, and economic subjects in a dystopian, future Britain.Alex (Malcolm McDowell), the main character is a charismatic, psychopathic delinquent whose pleasures are classical music (especially Beethoven), rape, and so-called 'ultra-violence'. He leads a small gang of thugs (Pete, Georgie, and Dim), whom he calls his droogs (from the Russian друг, "friend", "buddy"). The film tells the horrific crime spree of his gang, his capture, and attempted rehabilitation via a controversial psychological conditioning technique. Alex narrates most of the film in Nadsat, a fractured, contemporary adolescent slang comprising Slavic (especially Russian), English, and Cockney rhyming slang.A Clockwork Orange features a soundtrack comprising mostly classical music selections and Moog synthesizer compositions by Walter Carlos. The now-iconic poster of A Clockwork Orange, and its images, were created by designer Bill Gold. The film also holds the Guinness World Record for being the first film in media history to use the Dolby Sound system ]

 

Meyer: Why arent Americans rioting?   (Washington Post) [ It really is quite surprising inasmuch as theyre getting quite a royal screwin from the so-called powers that be. There might be a tinge of masochism coupled with a feeling of punishment-deserved remorse in light of the overridingly inherent criminal nature of americans generally, propelling them to wrongful acts for which they should be sorry, based upon my own experience and direct observation. That said, Id also say give them time, the worst is yet to come.

Will: Kennedy’s Berlin blunder  (Washington Post) [ Oh come on Mr. Will! I’d say Kennedy’s  blunder was, as Caesar and the ides of March, not heeding warnings concerning that Dallas ride. A bit of a reach though factually accurate are the implications, consequences of those highlights which in terms of results were foreseen years before by ‘Warrior-General Patton’. Indeed, for the rising military industrial complex, one way or another, conflict whether hot or cold, requiring substantial defense spending was fait accomplis. I’m disappointed to hear of Kennedy’s unfounded criticism of the last great leader / president, the substantially underrated but great President General Eisenhower which I would attribute to Kennedy’s own insecurity regarding such matters and possibly in psychiatric terms, a form of displacement. Krauthammer: Our political system is working well  (Washington Post) [ Wow! There was a time back in the late sixties, early seventies when there were these long-haired people chastised by the so-called ‘establishment’ that would have just loved to be doin’ whatever it is that Mr. Krauthammer’s been doing to arrive at such a conclusion, so glaringly devoid of any reality whatsoever. Psychedelics, hallucinogens, magic mushrooms; what could it be that has brought Mr. Krauthammer into this fantasy world where even ‘Alice’ of Wonderland fame might feel comfortable in this netherland (sic) / netherworld created from the depths of Mr. Krauthammer’s imagination. I’m truly at a loss for words. After all, the warning by the underrated but great President General Eisenhower of the impending inherent danger of the military industrial complex came to fruition with the assassination of JFK and the reality of a coup d’etat thereby. All presidents, along with the two remaining branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt american government since have been at best stooges for such as the military industrial complex, the banksters / frauds on wall street, etc., to the substantial detriment of the vast majority in this country and throughout the world (ie., perma wars, huge securities frauds still extant / now marked to anything as per congressional FASB rule change, and unprosecuted. Beyond the immediate reach, or at least ‘penetration’ of american propaganda, an intelligent and astute individual, Legendary Investor Jeremy Grantham: America is a Banana Republic Washington’s Blog | Just different bananas perhaps? { Of course this is absolutely true! And not just from the meaningfully lawless perspective – I had made such a statement on the record in a LA Superior Court Appellate Dept. proceeding in which said court literally ignored the law (the same is true of the costly, plushly accoutered lifetime appointee federal courts) which courts should indeed be abolished in these difficult economic / budgetary times. Additionally, from pervasive corruption, to debased over-printed currency, to gunboat diplomacy, to total incompetence, etc., america is indeed a banana republic at most. }    I didn’t see the debates {what does it matter what they say – the egregious ‘wobama the b’ (for b***s***) fatigue factor / experience} nor have I read Mr. Robinson’s article, ‘GOP Debate Land’ but I’m sure I’d agree with his conclusion,  ‘I didn’t recognize the America the GOP candidates described;’ but unfortunately, I do recognize the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america of ‘wobama the b’ (for b***s***), failed president like his predecessor, moron war criminal dumbya bush, that he is. The powerless president  Obama remains indecisive, and ignored, as larger forces bring down the country.  Robinson: S&P downgrades the GOP   (WP) [ Riiiiight! It’s everything but ‘wobama the b’ (for b***s***) that’s to blame for the nation’s meltdown according to wobama aficionados / intractable wobama apologists, Messieurs Milbank and Robinson. Sweet Mr. Milbank even points to wobama’s personal character flaws (among many unmentioned) to exculpate the failed president wobama. Wobama’s failed miserably and yet had the easiest act in the world to follow in the persona of fellow failed president war criminal dumbya bush whose failed policies up to the real start of the election cycle he’s largely followed. After all, Mr. Robinson, how different really are the parties these days when profligate spending on illegal, unnecessary wars was continued when democrats controlled congress, and then even the executive office when continuing failed president and war criminal dumbya bush’s nation bankrupting, nation destroying war policies, protection for unprecedentedly huge wall street frauds, bush tax cut extensions for the wealthy, and then some (spending on top of it).

"She's always telling me how special I am, especially considering the five or six babies she aborted before I was born," Palin, 20, said during a CNN interview in which she was asked if she thought her mother would make a good president. "Then of course there were the twins she aborted shortly after having me, another four abortions after Willow somehow survived hersbut anyway, she's a wonderful mom. She just gets pregnant a lot and doesn't always want to have the baby." Palin also commended her mother's strength in carrying three babies with Down syndrome to term, and then even choosing not to give Trig up for adoption like the others.

Bin Laden Heroes Probably Murderered to Keep Them Quiet  ... Gordon Duff Veterans Today

FLASHBACK: Eyewitness to OBL Raid Saw Helicopter Explode (TRANSCRIPT) [ As indicated on this albertpeia.com website, I didn’t buy the administration’s desperate and politically opportunist Osama event and still don’t buy it; and further, I believe this! ]Veterans Today | TRANSCRIPT of critical interview with Pakistani eyewitness to Bin Laden raid. Is this the key to SEAL Team 6′s demise?

“Bin Laden” Heroes Probably Murderered to Keep Them Quiet  Gordon Duff  Veterans Today August 7, 2011 | Some Possibly Killed in Abbottabad Helicopter Crash Months Before. [ As indicated on this albertpeia.com website, I didn’t buy the administration’s desperate and politically opportunist Osama event and still don’t buy it; and further, I believe this! ] Today 31 NATO troops, 20 of them Navy Seals from the Osama bin Laden operation died in what is reported as a helicopter crash in Afghanistan.

The chance of this story being true is almost nil. The chances of this being a staged coverup is over 80%. We believe these people were murdered to silence them. This is why.

We have solid information on two areas:

1. Osama bin Laden died in 2001 as an active CIA employee and his body was recovered in Afghanistan and taken to the sand box. We were told it was frozen. We have so much verification from this, CIA, ISI, US military and top officials. I have a direct confirmation from Bin Ladens CIA handler who I grilled mercilessly on this.

2. The Abbottabad operation involved numerous American deaths, witnessed, bodies all over, a helicopter crash. (suppressed translated TV interview below) These bodies were recovered by land vehicle from Islamabad and there was NO successful bin Laden operation of any kind. There was and has been a CIA safe house in Abbotabad where terror suspects were stored for years.

This gave the US several areas of severe vulnerability. Generally, Navy Seals are the best people in the world at keeping their mouths shut, these are real team players, as the term Seal Team belies.

We at VT were informed that the bin Laden operation was staged at this time, a theatrical farce, to cover the exit of Secretary Gates, the move by former CIA Director Leon Panetta into the DOD as Secretary of Defense and to stem any heroic claims by new CIA Director Petraeus of killing the long dead Osama bin Laden, the long frozen CIA operative.

Petraeus is a possible presidential contender and had to be denied this gift from heaven, a fast track to the oval office for sure.

Again, I remind you, I went over specific meetings on bin Laden with his handlers, getting every last detail. I have watched what has gone on, the continuing need to vilify a long dead top CIA operative to provide residual cover for the Bush administration

The reason? Bush and his cronies are all facing charges of war crimes, not just in minor jurisdictions but heading for the ICC, putting them on the dock with Gaddafi ( a far less harmful character).

As for the timing of this incident? This we will work on. What we can easily surmise is that some of the dead have been dead since their bodies were taken away from the helicopter crash site in Abbotabad.

Who would order such a thing? We are going to have to wait but we are going to find out. However, we expected this, the timing is exactly as predicted. Read full article

By now, most have realized that at best wobama’s a b***s*** artist, and at worst, an incorrigible liar; certainly as measured by his campaign promises that got him elected, belied by his actions. If Mr. Milbank had only said the nation’s been hijacked by plutocrats to whom wobama’s paid homage, I’d certainly agree in part. After all, there has been and continues a huge wealth transfer at the expense and to the detriment of the middle class, to the substantial benefit of the ‘plutocrats’ who in america are of that small percentile criminal class for whom everyone else must (and must be) sacrifice(d), ie., the wall street frauds, military industrial complex, government contractors, etc.. And, yet another casualty … if wobama’s peace-prize is not revoked, then that ignoble nobel thing should be disbanded for lack of credibility and moral compass.  Deal fails to soothe foreign critics  (Washington Post) { Let’s not kid outselves! I consider Russia a rational, great nation (their painful, yet peaceful transition from their mistake is a testament to their greatness as a people / nation and Gorbachev particularly – China’s recent success is as far from communism as can be imagined) and have high regard for Putin though lamenting his youthful, albeit inherited indiscretion (kind of like that Tiger hunt which he’s now wisely disavowed) in dabbling in the failed system of communism (the great lie where everybody’s equal except some are more equal than others, ie., party members, bureaucrats, etc., kind of like america today with the addition of the plutocratic wealthy thieves, criminals, frauds, etc.). That said, most of these so-called ‘foreign critics’ fall predominantly into either of two categories; viz., ‘pots calling the kettle black’, or ‘enablers’.    Putin Calls U.S. a “Parasite,” Demands New Reserve Currency Activist Post   The powerless president  Obama remains indecisive, and ignored, as larger forces bring down the country.  Robinson: S&P downgrades the GOP   (Washington Post) [ Riiiiight! It’s everything but ‘wobama the b’ (for b***s***) that’s to blame for the nation’s meltdown according to wobama aficionados / intractable wobama apologists, Messieurs Milbank and Robinson. Sweet Mr. Milbank even points to wobama’s personal character flaws (among many unmentioned) to exculpate the failed president wobama. Wobama’s failed miserably and yet had the easiest act in the world to follow in the persona of fellow failed president war criminal dumbya bush whose failed policies up to the real start of the election cycle he’s largely followed. After all, Mr. Robinson, how different really are the parties these days when profligate spending on illegal, unnecessary wars was continued when democrats controlled congress, and then even the executive office when continuing failed president and war criminal dumbya bush’s nation bankrupting, nation destroying war policies, protection for unprecedentedly huge wall street frauds, bush tax cut extensions for the wealthy, and then some (spending on top of it).

White House turns attention to blacks Focus comes amid a growing concern that economic conditions might hamper black voter turnout. (Washington Post) [ As if we couldn’t see that coming. Yet, the ‘make-work, make-shift’ jobs already extant in the federal, state, local ‘public service’ sectors along with the otherwise unemployable at, ie., the u.s. postal service, etc., are uneconomic and overly costly (Drudgereport: Obama Economists Admit: 'Stimulus' Cost $278,000 per Job... ) at best and downright wasteful at worst, the latter being the most prevalent scenario. Moreover, despite the rhetoric, blacks will always ‘back the black’. No criteria. No analysis. ‘Back the black’ their despoiling cry. I think wobama and holder are probably more concerned with making sure the ‘black panthers’ are in full force at the polls to intimidate white voters, which racism they’ve given ‘carte blanche’, protection from prosecution … UPDATE: MORE CLAIMS OF RACE BIAS AT JUSTICE...ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims '.

Apple is the Nasdaq (40% weighting) and quite more, that now was! That’s past tense. Steve Jobs goes out a big winner as indeed he should! Yet, make no mistake, as one might expect, his timing was impeccable inasmuch as without his uniquely inspired innovation, competition moving in, and particularly the coming debacle / crisis the worst of which lies ahead, things are not looking up, in and for pervasively corrupt / defacto bankrupt america particularly, euphemistically speaking. ]  End Of Cycle Smelling Like Dow 3K, Gold 3K  Forbes /  Bill Bonner  … ‘Our view [ the correct view ] is that the bear market began in January 2000.

[ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims)‘.. while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a “park” - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA’s position with both felonies ( he went to prison – pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of ‘bystander effect’ / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 blacks and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA.

Orol, MarketWatch WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) The Securities and Exchange Commission may have destroyed documents and compromised enforcement cases involving activity at large banks and hedge funds during the height of the financial crisis in 2008, according to allegations made by a lawmaker on Wednesday. From what Ive seen, it looks as if the SEC might have sanctioned some level of case-related document destruction, said Sen. Chuck Grassley, Republican of Iowa, in a letter to the agencys chairman, Mary Schapiro. Sen. Chuck Grassley  It doesnt make sense that an agency responsible for investigations would want to get rid of potential evidence. If these charges are true, the agency needs to explain why it destroyed documents, how many documents it destroyed over what timeframe, and to what extent its actions were consistent with the law. Agency staff destroyed over 9,000 files related to preliminary agency investigations, according to a letter sent in July to Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and obtained by MarketWatch. The allegations were made by SEC enforcement attorney, Darcy Flynn, in a letter to Grassley. Flynn is a current employee, and according to the letter, received a bonus for his past years work. Flynn alleges the SEC destroyed files related to matters being examined in important cases such as Bernard Madoff and a $50 billion Ponzi scheme he operated as well as an investigation involving Goldman Sachs Group Inc.

SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE DEBT LIMIT
Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

ATF Chief Melson:Justice Department trying to shield officials (LATimes) Serrano

 

I believe him!

 I truly empathize with the ATF in terms of government cover-ups, notably by even the DOJ. Youll recognize some familiar names (ie., Alito, Trump, Freeh (Louis Freeh now has dual citizenship with Italy), and some familiar crimes (ie., drug money laundering, etc. real cash cow for govt ops, bribes, etc.). [Did you know this about the following ATF Agents who were probably viewed as loose ends: Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeahan & Conway LeBleu:   Died February 28, 1993 by gunfire at Waco. All four were examined by a pathologist and died from identical wounds to the left temple. All four had been body guards for Bill Clinton, three while campaigning for President and when he was Governor of Arkansas.They also were the ONLY 4 BATF agents killed at Waco. ]

 

 

 

Heres some real, complicit cover-up / fraud on the part of the federal government, et als:

Federal Bureau of Investigation, USDOJ

Los Angeles, CA 90024

 

 

Dear Sir:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computers browser) as per your offices request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which Ive installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named 112208opocoan). The (civil) RICO action (as youre aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBIs LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation Andrew Maloneys the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..

Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.

The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages:   [  Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File        Page 1                Page 2          ]

Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [   transcript in pertinent part -     http://albertpeia.com/crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf     ]

Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.],   Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

Experts: Recovery might take a while If this crisis follow the pattern of similar ones, it may be one of the most difficult in U.S. history. (Washington Post) [ Duh! Ya think! Dow/Gold Ratio Lowest Since 1987 Crash   Forbes   Adrian AshToday’s gold buyers might still get to look early birds as this depression wears on… GROWTH or defense…stocks or gold? Intra-day noise aside in summer 2011, Mr.Market’s choice looks plain.

The Dow/Gold Ratio a measure of the U.S. stock markets valuation in ounces of gold has sunk as equities have plunged but gold prices have jumped so far this summer.

Dropping through 6.0 ahead of Fridays New York opening, the Dow/Gold Ratio hasnt been this low since early 1989, back when world equity markets were recovering from the Great Crash of Black Monday 1987.

http://goldnews.bullionvault.com/files/DowGoldviii11.png

That slump itself had taken the Dow/Gold Ratio all the way down to 3.6, with gold prices rising to nearly $500 per ounce as the Wall Street index sank to 1776 points. Growth, of course, was only taking a pause in late 1987 a quick breather before the real race to perfection of the late 1990s. Today, in contrast, the Dow/Gold Ratio could still go a lot further down. Or so says history.

Trading a little over its century-long average of 10.0 today, the ratio bottomed during the 1930s Great Depression at just below 2.0 ounces of gold for one Dow unit. At the nadir of the next global depression the inflationary depression of the early 1980s the Dow/Gold Ratio sank even lower, down to 1.0.

Whatever flavor of depression weve got at the start of this decade and it is a depression, as Western jobs data continue to show and as the Dow/Gold yardstick will confirm if it goes much lower (keep an eye on the underperformance of gold mining equities, too) a growing flow of private savings is choosing defense in gold bullion rather than choosing business-risk in listed stocks.

That choice might sound self-fulfilling if you work in psychiatry or government, a kind of clinical disorder open to curing with medication, zero interest rates or perhaps a third round of quantitative easing most likely aimed at risk assets, we guess, rather than the risk free Treasury bonds targeted by QE1 and QE2 and which institutional investors are all-too keen to hold anyway.

So far, however, investors choosing to buy gold only account for a tiny portion of the money fleeing equities.

From here to a true depression low in Dow/Gold (if such a level is reached), todays gold buyers will need to find many more friends. Theyd also look early-birds compared with the rush out of stocks and into gold needed to reach that 2.0 or 1.0 mark.



 

BlogPost : Jon Stewart attacks Fox 'class warfare' ...Warren Buffett (Nati Harnik/AP) After Warren Buffetts New York Times Op-ed called for a tax on the.. (Washington Post) [Ignore Buffett's Advice, Don't Buy Stocks at Forbes Bert Dohmen [ Yeah this is really good advice. As a shill for fraudulent wall street, they may have given him some stellar performances and cash to boot; but, the homespun bumpkin senile buffets analytical abilities, if ever really extant, have certainly passed the point of no return. You may recall how the clintons, with a mere $1,000 or so, were revealed as commodities trading wizards (turned into in excess of $100,000 or so), but as written up in the Wall Street Journal someone was giving them money. In fairness, that they were singled out (was) is a bit arbitrary inasmuch as thats going on all the time on wall street, and now with greater precision owing to greater computer programming capabilities, to everyone elses detriment. Remember, in a manner of speaking, there are two sides to every trade, viz., winner and loser (in relative terms).] The markets plunged going into August 8. On that day, the DJI closed with a loss of 629 points. My indicators signaled that a brief bounce would commence the next day. According to the charts, the first target for the S&P 500 was 1205. The target was hit exactly a few days later. That was followed by a renewed plunge.

I have been looking for a serious crisis to start in September. It appears that we have seen the prelude for that. The big smart money has been preparing for the past five months.You can see the distribution pattern on the charts since mid-February. The rush to the exits is now accelerating and the smart money has been selling short in large amounts.

The extreme bullish sentiment that prevailed until the latest plunge was first replaced by complacency, then by concern. However, the fear stage is still missing, except at hedge funds that were forced to sell because of margin calls. In fact, during the severe plunge in the first week of August, investment investors became even more bullish according to Investorsintelligence.com. That is not good for the markets.

The market negatives are increasing in numbers. The IPO window is now shut. There are signs that credit is once again vanishing. Loans are being called in, some companies appear to have difficulties rolling over their Commercial Paper, junk bonds yields are soaring, European banks may stop lending to each other, and the European crisis is spreading out across the globe. Its my view that this will cause another credit crisis, just as in 2008.

Whats worse is that contrary to 2008, the big players learned to read the signs from their 2008 mistakes. They are now wide awake, although in the media, their minions still repeat the same bullish fairy tale. This means that this crisis could develop much faster than the last one. (Read my book, Financial Apocalypse, which is the 2008 roadmap, one which can be used very well for what is now happening.)

The words possible recession suddenly is being mentioned a lot in the media, although economists still strongly deny that possibility. Our rule is that the stronger their denials, the more certain and the deeper the recession will be. In fact, I declared in our May 9 issue of the Wellington Letter that the recession had started.

Morgan Stanley lowered its global GDP growth forecasts for 2012 from 4.5% to 3.8%. My forecast is for 1%-2% or less. It would be negative growth except for the fudged inflation numbers.

The European politicians are not any smarter than those in the U.S. Merkel and Sarkozy had a meeting in Paris and did nothing. That day I called the outcome Disastrous for the markets. It took the markets a day to digest the consequences and then the selling avalanche started. Many of the markets in Europe, led by the banks stocks, went into virtual free falls, losing from 4%-7% in one day. Such losses indicate an approaching crisis.

Now we see some of the well-known Wall Street figures appearing in the media, telling investors all the reasons why stocks are a good buy. One appeared with a long list of bullish factors. Well, that list didnt prevent the global stock market from losing an incredible $6 trillion over the past several weeks. He did the same cheerleading on national TV in 2007 before investors lost 50% of their wealth.

Warren Buffett is also once again the cheerleader saying he is buying stocks. He did that in 2007-2008 as well, and then the meltdown started later in 2008.

I would not fall for this self-serving advice. Words cannot rescind a recession that we already have, it cannot stop the insolvency of entire countries in Europe, it cant change the fact that major profit downgrades will appear soon, and it cant stop the China crisis that is now starting.

Gold is soaring, but the mining stocks look terribly weak. There is great danger now with the gold stocks getting hit hard by less developed countries, including South Africa, to nationalize gold mines. This is too lucrative for them to resist.

I would get out of all money market funds unless they are U.S. government only.  The MMFs have big exposure to European banks. We believe that lending between banks in Europe may seize, which means that the whole structure will start shaking. You will start hearing the word contagion.

In my opinion, the danger period is approaching. What we have seen until now is just a preview. The main feature is likely to be worse.

Dollar down against major currencies Global investors are becoming antsy about the dollar’s role as the currency at the core of the world’s financial system.  (Washington Post) [  Antsy? At this point, if it was only just ‘antsy’ there’d be room to hope. Despite the understatement, this is now way beyond ‘antsy’.  Reality counts!   For first time, U.S. credit rating cut from AAA Standard & Poor’s announces that it has downgraded U.S. government debt to AA+, dealing a huge symbolic blow to the world’s economic superpower in what was a sharply worded critique of the American political system.

If it were only the american political system, there’d at least be a plausible reason for hope, albeit futile even at that. Indeed, pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america, literally causing destruction domestically and internationally, is a testament to the failure of the american system generally, or more specifically what it has devolved into. Whatever america was and purports to be, it certainly doesn’t take a PhD in Poli Sci to know, ‘it ain’t that no more’. Moreover, the ‘genie’s out of the bottle’ and try as they may, like ‘trying to put toothpaste back in the tube’, or ‘unringing the bell’, perceptions of america will never be the same in the most negative but realistic and factual sense; that is, beyond the propaganda, efforts at censorship, and spin. Those ‘propaganda dogs don’t hunt no more.’ I can further say that in america, by close observation and direct experience (with more than sufficient representative sampling), I’ve seen and experienced the worst of human nature; behavior so egregious so as to defy any known norms of civilized behavior.

The powerless president  Obama remains indecisive, and ignored, as larger forces bring down the country.  Robinson: S&P downgrades the GOP   (Washington Post) [ Riiiiight! It’s everything but ‘wobama the b’ (for b***s***) that’s to blame for the nation’s meltdown according to wobama aficionados / intractable wobama apologists, Messieurs Milbank and Robinson. Sweet Mr. Milbank even points to wobama’s personal character flaws (among many unmentioned) to exculpate the failed president wobama. Wobama’s failed miserably and yet had the easiest act in the world to follow in the persona of fellow failed president war criminal dumbya bush whose failed policies up to the real start of the election cycle he’s largely followed. After all, Mr. Robinson, how different really are the parties these days when profligate spending on illegal, unnecessary wars was continued when democrats controlled congress, and then even the executive office when continuing failed president and war criminal dumbya bush’s nation bankrupting, nation destroying war policies, protection for unprecedentedly huge wall street frauds, bush tax cut extensions for the wealthy, and then some (spending on top of it).

Rubin: Fed to the country: the economy stinks

‘…information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in June indicates that economic growth so far this year has been considerably slower than the Committee had expected. Indicators suggest a deterioration in overall labor market conditions in recent months, and the unemployment rate has moved up.The report adds: “The Committee now expects a somewhat slower pace of recovery over coming quarters than it did at the time of the previous meeting and anticipates that the unemployment rate will decline only gradually toward levels that the Committee judges to be consistent with its dual mandate.”

 (Washington Post) [ As if we didnt know and needed them to tell us. Dont forget, this pre-election year is as good as it gets; yet is as dismal as can be imagined with substantially worse to follow.

What can the Federal Reserve do? With the U.S. economy at risk of a double-dip recession, the central bank lacks tools to do anything. (Washington Post) [ Oh Id say theyve done quite enough wouldnt you? Is Bernanke Failing His Fed Mission Or Just Delusional? at Forbes Robert Barone [ How bout both! I mean, come on! This catering to fraudulent wall street was a loser ab initio! That so-called wealth effect market froth was used previously by senile maestro greenspan and failed miserably except for the frauds on wall street who commissioned up and down; and, make no mistake, those computer-programmed high-frequency trading volumes have now been maximized for nation-economy-draining profits for the frauds like never before and have never been higher. The QE and dollar-debasement policies were always predictably inflationary, ultimately hyperinflationary, particularly for stocks; that feel good obfuscation that was but in reality good only for the frauds on wall street. No, there is no modern day alchemy that spins worthless paper into gold except fraudulently for the frauds on wall street whove literally oftimes done exactly that; cashing out for hard currency and gold, precious metals, at everyone elses expense including main street. ] In his June 7 speech, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke stated, the best way for the Federal Reserve to support the fundamental value of the dollar in the medium term is to pursue our dual mandate of maximum employment and price stability, and we will certainly do that.

 ..  The standard unemployment rate most often used by the Fed is currently at 9.1%, up 90% since Bernanke started.  The more inclusive (realistic) U6 number stands at 15.8%, up 75% in the same period.  The Civilian Participation Rate has declined 2.87% to 64.2%.

This is the lowest level the U.S. has seen since March, 1984.  The decline amounts to 8,946,844 fewer Americans in the labor force.  Had they not dropped out because of a lack of jobs, the official unemployment rate would be significantly higher.  While we can debate the meaning of the term maximum employment, it is clear that the jobs data has deteriorated considerably since Bernanke took the reins at the Fed.  ..

In conclusion, it is evident that Ben Bernanke is failing his mandates.  We believe it must come down to one of the following reasons:

1.       Bernanke does not know how to achieve his mandates;

2.       The policy tools employed dont work;

3.       He does not have the ability to implement policies that would work;

4.       He is not trying to achieve his mandates;

5.       He has goals other than his legal mandates;

6.       He does not look at the data, and believes he is succeeding.

SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE DEBT LIMIT
Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

ATF Chief Melson:Justice Department trying to shield officials (LATimes) Serrano

 

I believe him!

 I truly empathize with the ATF in terms of government cover-ups, notably by even the DOJ. Youll recognize some familiar names (ie., Alito, Trump, Freeh (Louis Freeh now has dual citizenship with Italy), and some familiar crimes (ie., drug money laundering, etc. real cash cow for govt ops, bribes, etc.). [Did you know this about the following ATF Agents who were probably viewed as loose ends: Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeahan & Conway LeBleu:   Died February 28, 1993 by gunfire at Waco. All four were examined by a pathologist and died from identical wounds to the left temple. All four had been body guards for Bill Clinton, three while campaigning for President and when he was Governor of Arkansas.They also were the ONLY 4 BATF agents killed at Waco. ]

 

 

 

Heres some real, complicit cover-up / fraud on the part of the federal government, et als:

Steven M. Martinez, Assistant Director In Charge
Federal Bureau of Investigation, USDOJ
11000 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1700

Los Angeles, CA 90024

 

 

Dear Sir:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computers browser) as per your offices request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which Ive installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named 112208opocoan). The (civil) RICO action (as youre aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBIs LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation Andrew Maloneys the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..

Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.

The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages:   [  Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File        Page 1                Page 2          ]

Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [   transcript in pertinent part -     crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf   ]

Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.],   Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

Krauthammer: Our political system is working well  (Washington Post) [ Wow! There was a time back in the late sixties, early seventies when there were these long-haired people chastised by the so-called ‘establishment’ that would have just loved to be doin’ whatever it is that Mr. Krauthammer’s been doing to arrive at such a conclusion, so glaringly devoid of any reality whatsoever. Psychedelics, hallucinogens, magic mushrooms; what could it be that has brought Mr. Krauthammer into this fantasy world where even ‘Alice’ of Wonderland fame might feel comfortable in this netherland (sic) / netherworld created from the depths of Mr. Krauthammer’s imagination. I’m truly at a loss for words. After all, the warning by the underrated but great President General Eisenhower of the impending inherent danger of the military industrial complex came to fruition with the assassination of JFK and the reality of a coup d’etat thereby. All presidents, along with the two remaining branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt american government since have been at best stooges for such as the military industrial complex, the banksters / frauds on wall street, etc., to the substantial detriment of the vast majority in this country and throughout the world (ie., perma wars, huge securities frauds still extant / now marked to anything as per congressional FASB rule change, and unprosecuted. Beyond the immediate reach, or at least ‘penetration’ of american propaganda, an intelligent and astute individual, Legendary Investor Jeremy Grantham: America is a Banana Republic Washington’s Blog | Just different bananas perhaps? { Of course this is absolutely true! And not just from the meaningfully lawless perspective – I had made such a statement on the record in a LA Superior Court Appellate Dept. proceeding in which said court literally ignored the law (the same is true of the costly, plushly accoutered lifetime appointee federal courts) which courts should indeed be abolished in these difficult economic / budgetary times. Additionally, from pervasive corruption, to debased over-printed currency, to gunboat diplomacy, to total incompetence, etc., america is indeed a banana republic at most. }    I didn’t see the debates {what does it matter what they say – the egregious ‘wobama the b’ (for b***s***) fatigue factor / experience} nor have I read Mr. Robinson’s article, ‘GOP Debate Land’ but I’m sure I’d agree with his conclusion,  ‘I didn’t recognize the America the GOP candidates described;’ but unfortunately, I do recognize the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america of ‘wobama the b’ (for b***s***), failed president like his predecessor, moron war criminal dumbya bush, that he is. The powerless president  Obama remains indecisive, and ignored, as larger forces bring down the country.  Robinson: S&P downgrades the GOP   (WP) [ Riiiiight! It’s everything but ‘wobama the b’ (for b***s***) that’s to blame for the nation’s meltdown according to wobama aficionados / intractable wobama apologists, Messieurs Milbank and Robinson. Sweet Mr. Milbank even points to wobama’s personal character flaws (among many unmentioned) to exculpate the failed president wobama. Wobama’s failed miserably and yet had the easiest act in the world to follow in the persona of fellow failed president war criminal dumbya bush whose failed policies up to the real start of the election cycle he’s largely followed. After all, Mr. Robinson, how different really are the parties these days when profligate spending on illegal, unnecessary wars was continued when democrats controlled congress, and then even the executive office when continuing failed president and war criminal dumbya bush’s nation bankrupting, nation destroying war policies, protection for unprecedentedly huge wall street frauds, bush tax cut extensions for the wealthy, and then some (spending on top of it).

SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE DEBT LIMIT
Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

ATF Chief Melson:Justice Department trying to shield officials (LATimes) Serrano

 

I believe him!

 I truly empathize with the ATF in terms of government cover-ups, notably by even the DOJ. Youll recognize some familiar names (ie., Alito, Trump, Freeh (Louis Freeh now has dual citizenship with Italy), and some familiar crimes (ie., drug money laundering, etc. real cash cow for govt ops, bribes, etc.). [Did you know this about the following ATF Agents who were probably viewed as loose ends: Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeahan & Conway LeBleu:   Died February 28, 1993 by gunfire at Waco. All four were examined by a pathologist and died from identical wounds to the left temple. All four had been body guards for Bill Clinton, three while campaigning for President and when he was Governor of Arkansas.They also were the ONLY 4 BATF agents killed at Waco. ]

 

 

 

Heres some real, complicit cover-up / fraud on the part of the federal government, et als:

Dear Sir:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computers browser) as per your offices request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which Ive installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named 112208opocoan). The (civil) RICO action (as youre aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBIs LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation Andrew Maloneys the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..

Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.

The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages:   [  Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File        Page 1                Page 2          ]

Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [   transcript in pertinent part -     crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf   ]

Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.],   Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

Perry attack puts pressure on Fed ANALYSIS | The central bank is supposed to make its decisions based on economics, not politics. Perry takes aim at Bernanke   (Washington Post) [ When youre right, youre right. Cant take that away from him. What can the Federal Reserve do? With the U.S. economy at risk of a double-dip recession, the central bank lacks tools to do anything. (Washington Post) [ Oh Id say theyve done quite enough wouldnt you? Is Bernanke Failing His Fed Mission Or Just Delusional? at Forbes Robert Barone [ How bout both! I mean, come on! This catering to fraudulent wall street was a loser ab initio! That so-called wealth effect market froth was used previously by senile maestro greenspan and failed miserably except for the frauds on wall street who commissioned up and down; and, make no mistake, those computer-programmed high-frequency trading volumes have now been maximized for nation-economy-draining profits for the frauds like never before and have never been higher. The QE and dollar-debasement policies were always predictably inflationary, ultimately hyperinflationary, particularly for stocks; that feel good obfuscation that was but in reality good only for the frauds on wall street. No, there is no modern day alchemy that spins worthless paper into gold except fraudulently for the frauds on wall street whove literally oftimes done exactly that; cashing out for hard currency and gold, precious metals, at everyone elses expense including main street. ] In his June 7 speech, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke stated, the best way for the Federal Reserve to support the fundamental value of the dollar in the medium term is to pursue our dual mandate of maximum employment and price stability, and we will certainly do that.

.. Bernankes results .. since Ben took the reins:

 ..  The standard unemployment rate most often used by the Fed is currently at 9.1%, up 90% since Bernanke started.  The more inclusive (realistic) U6 number stands at 15.8%, up 75% in the same period.  The Civilian Participation Rate has declined 2.87% to 64.2%.

This is the lowest level the U.S. has seen since March, 1984.  The decline amounts to 8,946,844 fewer Americans in the labor force.  Had they not dropped out because of a lack of jobs, the official unemployment rate would be significantly higher.  While we can debate the meaning of the term maximum employment, it is clear that the jobs data has deteriorated considerably since Bernanke took the reins at the Fed.  ..

In conclusion, it is evident that Ben Bernanke is failing his mandates.  We believe it must come down to one of the following reasons:

1.       Bernanke does not know how to achieve his mandates;

2.       The policy tools employed dont work;

3.       He does not have the ability to implement policies that would work;

4.       He is not trying to achieve his mandates;

5.       He has goals other than his legal mandates;

6.       He does not look at the data, and believes he is succeeding.

Obama issues first explicit call for Syrian president to resign The rhetorical escalation was backed by sanctions designed to undermine military operations. (Washington Post) [ The reply: right after you wobama for gross incompetence, for harboring war criminals bush and cheney et als, for unconstitutional exercise of war powers alluded to by congressional members, for fraud in the inducement and factum (false campaign statements/promises), and as soon as you return that ridiculous thing called the ‘nobel peace prize’ belied by your actions, etc.. Come on! Who takes this clown, ‘wobama the b’ (for b***s***), seriously. He’s a total joke and totally pathetic at once!  Robinson: Obama won the Iowa Straw Poll  (Washington Post) [ Oh riiiiight! What, on the theory that so long as you don’t hear wobama the b’s (for b***s***) words which invariably belie his actions or non-actions, it’ a victory for wobama? I don’t think so; nor does the overwhelming, including the unpolled, majority! Is Obama’s fate written in numbers? Recent economic data amounts to a formidable headwind for any incumbent president hoping for a second term. And Democrats worry time is running out. (Washington Post) [ Let’s just say the fate of ‘wobama the b’ (for b***s***) is written, period. Quite simply, he’s done! Here’s a picture of obama voters / backers: http://www.albertpeia.com/wobamavoters.gif  . ‘Don’t cry for him new argentina, the truth is he really screwed you’ … well you know that familiar theme and can ad lib, insert your own words! 
It’s still Obama’s party Why he won’t face a primary challenge: Republicans and racial politics. (Washington Post) [  It’s true … so right you are! Al Gore’s even pitchin’ in by donating the talents of his long lost secret love child, ‘Leslie Gore’ to pen and sing a song in wobama’s honor (kidding) which goes something like this , ‘It’s his party and he’ll cry if he wants to, cry if he wants to, cry if he wants to, you would cry too, if obama happened  to you …  Well, there you go … if the song says it it must be true. Yeah! And those dern republicans and their racial politics … UPDATE: MORE CLAIMS OF RACE BIAS AT JUSTICE...ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims' – Time to get whitey, at last, at last, etc., say holder / wobama who go on to say ‘and they ain’t talking about Whitey Bulger, the mobster, either!’   The powerless president  Obama remains indecisive, and ignored, as larger forces bring down the country.  Robinson: S&P downgrades the GOP   (Washington Post) [ Riiiiight! It’s everything but ‘wobama the b’ (for b***s***) that’s to blame for the nation’s meltdown according to wobama aficionados / intractable wobama apologists, Messieurs Milbank and Robinson. Sweet Mr. Milbank even points to wobama’s personal character flaws (among many unmentioned) to exculpate the failed president wobama. Wobama’s failed miserably and yet had the easiest act in the world to follow in the persona of fellow failed president war criminal dumbya bush whose failed policies up to the real start of the election cycle he’s largely followed. After all, Mr. Robinson, how different really are the parties these days when profligate spending on illegal, unnecessary wars was continued when democrats controlled congress, and then even the executive office when continuing failed president and war criminal dumbya bush’s nation bankrupting, nation destroying war policies, protection for unprecedentedly huge wall street frauds, bush tax cut extensions for the wealthy, and then some (spending on top of it). Details of Obama’s jobs plan emerge President is thinking about proposing tax cuts for companies that hire workers, new spending for roads and construction, and other measures that target the long-term unemployed, administration officials say. (Washington Post) [  Oh come on! Too little, too late for ‘wobama the b’ (for b***s***), the eternal campaign(er) … he’s got a ‘good rap’ … that rapper ‘wobama the b’ (for b***s***).  Really! He’s a total embarrassment out there on the campaign trail; and just as much an embarrassment for those who turn out to see him … maybe he’s somewhat of an allure as in a freak show. He’s a total joke! To be finally talking jobs and things just before the election having broken previous campaign promises in his failed role as ‘bush failure 3’. Even his pension is undeserved so much a fraud is he! Black caucus: Tired of making excuses for Obama [ They are not alone! ] Washington Examiner | A key member of the Congressional Black Caucus says they don’t pressure President Obama because he is loved by black voters.  Obama ‘Takes More Vacations Than Any Human Being I’ve Ever Seen’ Fox News | “Here we have a country that really is going to hell in a handbasket.” Bus Tour Bust: Obama’s Approval Plummets Back Into 30s, Says Gallup CNS News | Obama’s politically charged but taxpayer funded bus tour through the Midwest turned into a bust yesterday.

Currently, the GDP deflator is 1.8%, which hardly reflects the true rise in prices. Therefore, what is counted as “growth,” is actually price increases.

Watch out for Petraeus...   ‘…Call it “Oval Office Couch Syndrome.”By their second term “inside the bubble,” presidents have completely lost touch with reality: Aides and confidants conspire to keep the chief executive insulated from the real world — the bad news, the worse press coverage. They think it’s their job, and lounging on the Oval Office couches, they nod along with the president’s every musing. But this presidency has taken OOCS to new heights. Mr. Obama has only a few trusted aides, and occasional leaks from the West Wing show a paranoid president suspicious of nearly everyone around him. Supremely confident, convinced by the fawning minions at his feet that he is untouchable, the president dismisses all controversy as partisan attacks by an overzealous opposition. A pliant press corps of stenographers follows in lockstep…Speaking for the White House, the flack said the CIA was fully to blame for the talking points. Fully. “That is what was generated by the intelligence community, by the CIA,” he said. For the record, this is what the CIA “generated”…’

REPORT: Media ignores Beach Week violence, racial tensions... { Typical niggers! ‘…Reporters with all the local media had trouble describing what happened over the weekend when 40,000 black people descended on Virginia Beach for a party. Their audiences, however, did not. Daniel Johnson was one of dozens of people who had no trouble talking about the lawbreakers and the widespread chaos, danger, thefts, violence and lawlessness they brought to Virginia Beach as part of College Beach Week 2013; a time when black students could “blow off some steam” before final exams. “Because it was a group of young black college people everyone is scared to say anything for fear of being called a racist,” he said in a post to a Virginian-Pilot news story. “It is what it is – these people come to the Beach and do everything in there [sic] power to intimidate the local and visiting White people at the Beach – rude – disrespectful – dirty and violent – They come here and treat our beach like a toilet On Saturday afternoon I went to the Harris Teeter and a LARGE group of young black visitors were in the parking lot drinking and playing loud music – intimidating locals – I called the police and even though 2 cop cars drove by nothing was done!” Police reported 900 emergency calls to 9-1-1 Saturday night involving at least three shootings, three stabbings and three robberies. That they know of. All during a four-hour period. People in Virginia Beach are furious and are taking to Facebook and the local news sites to have their say…’

Rolon recognized Shermain Miles because he’s seen her more times than he can count — drunk, half-naked, cursing and, on one occasion, lunging at another woman with a dinner fork. Since 1978, Chicago Police alone have arrested Miles 396 times, mostly on the North Side — under at least 83 different aliases. Those arrests include 92 for theft, 65 for disorderly conduct, 59 for prostitution-related crimes and five for robbery or attempted robbery. The frustrating truth: The system — strapped by overcrowded prisons and cuts to mental health funding — hasn’t been able to save Miles from herself or to help the communities she menaces. Nothing has worked. Not jail. Not prison. Not countless psychological exams for the woman described as being “acutely psychotic.”’  }

The reality is that this guy just can’t ‘cut the mustard’.  The reality is that this guy, O, is total bull s**t and an unmitigated failure by any criteria by which you can measure a presidency (including his own as set forth in his last campaign…you know, that deficit thing that he was going to cut by half by the end of his first term but instead increased more than all the presidents combined!

WHite House Threatens Another Journalist  WMAL.com February 28, 2013 Bob Woodward isn’t the only person who’s received threats for airing the Obama administration’s dirty laundry. It seems anyone is a potential target of the White House these days – even former senior members of the Clinton administration. A day after Woodward’s claim that a senior White House official had told him he would “regret” writing a column criticizing President Obama’s stance on the sequester, Lanny Davis, a longtime close advisor to President Bill Clinton, told WMAL’s Mornings on the Mall Thursday he had received similar threats for newspaper columns he had written about Obama in the Washington Times.Davis told WMAL that his editor, John Solomon, “received a phone call from a senior Obama White House official who didn’t like some of my columns, even though I’m a supporter of Obama. I couldn’t imagine why this call was made.” Davis says the Obama aide told Solomon, “that if he continued to run my columns, he would lose, or his reporters would lose their White House credentials.” }

WHITE HOUSE THREATENS WOODWARD:
'YOU WILL REGRET DOING THIS'
  {The nigger approach … to elections, governing, etc., etc. }

Watergate reporter blasts Obama 'madness'... By Susan Heavey WASHINGTON | Feb 27, 2013 (Reuters) – ‘Journalist Bob Woodward on Wednesday criticized Barack Obama's handling of the automatic U.S. budget cuts set to take effect this week, calling the president's decision to hold back on military deployments "madness."His comments continued what has become a running dispute between Woodward, perhaps the country's best-known print journalist, and the Democratic White House over who is responsible for the across-the-board cuts scheduled to begin on Friday. Last week, Woodward published an opinion piece in the Washington Post - where he is an associate editor - saying the administration was "wrong" to blame the cuts on Republicans…’
WHITE HOUSE WARNS WOODWARD: 'YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET DOING THIS'  { That’s a threat! }
'It makes me very uncomfortable'... { WOODWARD: It was said very clearly, you will regret doing this. }
POLITICO: Exclusive Details...  ‘Bob Woodward called a senior White House official last week to tell him that in a piece in that weekend’s Washington Post, he was going to question President Barack Obama’s account of how sequestration came about - and got a major-league brushback. The Obama aide “yelled at me for about a half hour,” Woodward told us in an hour-long interview yesterday around the Georgetown dining room table where so many generations of Washington’s powerful have spilled their secrets… Woodward repeated the last sentence, making clear he saw it as a veiled threat…’

Lee Bailey was notably in that category by prior self-proclamation, among others ); this world being such as it is, human beings such as they are. Yet, said position is still unequivocally, absolutely incorrect; but, understandable. The position of the atheist is at the least intellectually dishonest (at worst, constituting a petulant penchant for the ‘great lie’ and in some instances, an inherent capacity for great evil). But, as well, incorrect, and certainly not understandable; and all the more wrong by positing something they don’t and hence, obviously, could not know as being so. Atheists are, quite simply…pathetic! }

When you die, you can pass it on to your family members, so that when you're 85 years old and you got six diseases, you're not trying to spend up everything. You're happy to pass it on and there's nobody talking about death panels. Number one. And also, for the people who were indigent who don't have any money we can make contributions to their HSA each month because we already have this huge pot of money. Instead of sending it to some bureaucracy, let's put it in their HSAs. Now they have some control over their own health care.’) { Sounds smart, good, and rational to me! }

Detroit suburb mulling $5 rat bounty program... { Actually, what the anti-cat ‘lobby’ conveniently didn’t mention in their recent anti-cat rant is that disease-carrying mice/rats are the largest component of the mammals cats kill; and, of the prehistoric dinosaur remnant birds, disease-carrying pigeons figure prominently among cats’ kills. (You also don’t see cats mauling/killing babies/children/humans as with dogs that should be more widely known as well for eating their own feces-I saw this first hand of a pedigreed german shepard before learning that eating their own feces  was a dog trait). I happen to like birds, ie., Hawks (regal ferocity), Humming Birds (aerodynamics), and Owls (hunters/I just like them) in that precise order; but, I do like cats much more. When I’d jog home from the gym in the evenings I began carrying a small (18 inch tube) metal club and developed a proficiency for ‘running down’ and killing rats [ There were so many, particularly near the trash cans. I got up to 123 (confirmed) kills (I didn’t count those mortally wounded but slinking into the safety of, ie., the sewer) before stopping because of cries of ‘outrage’ from the niggers here in LA when they occasionally witnessed same (Wow! Can you believe it? Always somethin’ to complain about for the niggers, no matter how irrational!); and that became not worth the ‘controversy’. For the further record, if pellet guns were allowed, I’d ’wipe out’ disease-carrying pigeons; and, without compunction or hesitation, I’d ‘wipe out’ all venomous, fanged creatures, ie., poisonous snakes, all spiders, scorpions, etc., without exception; and of course, I’d ‘wipe out’ such vermin as cockroaches, bed bugs, mosquitos, etc.. I would not kill bees (pollination, etc.) however, except for those that tried to sting me. ] }

Michael Savage: Don't trust feds on flu shot...{ Or anything else, for that matter. Indeed, from my direct experience, the actions/inaction of the feds are geared toward making one reliant/dependent upon them (ie., food stamps, faux disability, unemployment comp extensions, ‘protection’ from rampant, blatant crime or not,  etc., despite america’s defacto bankruptcy and the unaffordability of same), despite their unequivocal incompetence and venality. In fact, stepping back, I have seen first hand those siding with/benefiting from (and the encouraging of more crime), ie., RICO defendants et als, actually rewarded by the pervasively corrupt/defacto bankrupt american system (ie., trumps, alito, fed slugees, etc., essentially a combination of and tantamount to what is essentially hush money, bribes, etc.).

I hearken back to and reiterate the (famed NRA truism and) reality that it’s ‘people that kill people’ and the numerous examples he gave of armed defense being the only real, true protection for those in need, as ie., children, etc., of protection from the nefarious elements of our increasingly less than civilized society. Let me also add from direct experience, if you’re relying upon, ie., the feds and (corrupted) process, to protect and save your property, life, liberty and happiness consistent with rules of law and civilized behavior … then, you’re finished/done/dead!  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf

6 ARRESTED IN NEW GANG RAPE OF A BUS PASSENGER IN INDIA...
Woman hung from tree after rape...

India reports 25 rapes in week following Delhi gangrape IBNLive  { See, as per the californication amerikan jurisprudential scholar/jurist/judge, these 25 girls may not have realized it, but, they really wanted it … you know, otherwise, as per the californication jurisprudential scholar/jurist/judge these subconsciously consensual encounters could not have happened because the body would ‘just say no’ to such liasons if nonconsensual. There you go! … american jurisprudence has done it again as they guide us through those dark, shadowy, murky areas of the law that would otherwise label violent criminal rapists as violent criminal rapists.  (We’re talking India here; but, violent rape among a plethora of other substantial crimes including murder, huge protected ie., wall street, etc., frauds, armed robberies, etc., are rampant in pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america.)  India gang-rape suspects to face murder charges (CBS/AP) NEW DELHI - Indian police charged six men with murder on Saturday, hours after a woman who was gang-raped and beaten on a bus in New Delhi nearly two weeks ago died in a Singapore hospital. { Clearly, says the california-american jurist/jurisprudential scholar, this girl was not a victim but really ‘wanted it’ and while she may have been screaming/saying ‘no’, she really meant ‘yes’ since otherwise her body wouldn’t have permitted that rape (and beating) to happen. See … now that’s why we have professionally educated/trained judges … to ‘split the pubic hairs’, so to speak … (that judge should be forced to step down)} Calif. judge says a victims' bodies can prevent rape CBS News SANTA ANA, Calif. A Southern California judge is being publicly admonished for saying a rape victim "didn't put up a fight" during her assault and that if someone doesn't want sexual intercourse, the body "will not permit that to happen.” { Wow! Spoken like a true california american jurist. Well, with violent rapes on the rise along with other serious violent among other crimes in america and california particularly, and elections being what they are, ‘might as well go with the flow’ might have been the ratio-decedendi. After all, most violent criminals in america are closet pacifists/peace corp members and if the body says yes or no but the mind subconsciously says yes, only then will a rape happen (NOT!); and, no violent rapist would let a LIVE/CONSCIOUS rape-resistor get in the way of implicit consensual rape. Wow! I initially was going to quip, ‘he doesn’t get out much’; but, maybe he just ‘gets out too much’. Wow! What more can anyone say! [ If the foregoing didn’t make sense to you, that’s because the californication judge’s outrageous statement is absolutely preposterous! ] }

NRA LaPierre: Hollywood, media, music, violent videos cause culture of violence... { There is indeed a culture of violence in america; that, along with a celibratory attitude toward crime and criminals generally (and of course, cowardice in the face of criminality, which didnt apply to the Newton, CT  tragic scenario), along with the reality that crime in america pays, and pays well, and is largely protected at the highest levels. That said, I still oppose any and all censorship (a slippery slope in a country now as this, best not tread on) to the extent thats inferred from LaPierres cogent speech; though I believe it a stretch for anyone to have reasonably gleaned that from his words so eloquently put. I read the text of his entire speech as he made it. I believe he was correct in every significant respect; importantly, and simply put, bad guys (criminals) with guns can only be stopped by good guys with guns. Moreover, I would add that criminals will always have (and have access to getting) guns. To strip the good, the innocents of their like defense against same is insanity. I hearken back to and reiterate the (famed NRA truism and) reality that its people that kill people and the numerous examples he gave of armed defense the only real, true protection for those in need, as ie., children, etc., of protection from the nefarious elements of our increasingly less than civilized society. }  NRAs Wrongheaded Response to Sandy Hook Violence Infowars.com | NRA Executive Vice President calls for more cops in schools and a government database of the mentally ill.  { The following rebuttal from Infowars is not entirely unreasonable but I believe relies too much on the presumption of sanity among the american masses: ‘…LaPierre also announced a NRA model security program of armed volunteers to guard schools. He said Rep. Asa Hutchison, R-Ark., will lead the program for the lobbying organization. While the idea of armed citizen volunteers protecting schools is reasonable, the call for adding more police is not. The presence of police in public schools has created a number of problems from tasering and handcuffing students to shooting them to death in addition to fostering a prison-like environment [if the shoe fits]. As for creating a government database of people suffering from mental illness and then presumably denying them Second Amendment rights, this is a dangerous idea begging for government abuse [as was so in the former communist soviet union of old]. If the state is allowed to determine what mental illness is and who suffers from it, large numbers of people will undoubtedly have their right to own firearms denied (like veterans suffering from PTSD are denied their rights). It looks like the NRA is merely passing the buck on this issue and once again relying on government to devise solutions [this is an unfair criticism by infowars inasmuch as the NRA are not elected officials although, truth be told, as evidenced in the past election, u.s. elections are a total joke and are indeed rigged then there were as well the unprecedented terrorist threats of violence/rioting by the typically uncivilized niggers ( note that wobama, a nigger himself, registered no objection to those threats and intimidation the uncivilized niggers having their way now with purported civilized institutions dont forget the crime stats wherein niggers are the undisputed leaders by far ) as well as voter fraud, and incumbents did not want to rock their boat, aka the uss titanic ]. The solution to public school violence is really quite simple citizens must be fully empowered to exercise the right to self-protection and the protection of their families (defense is a natural right that has nothing to do with the real reason the Second Amendment was established). This right to self-protection cannot be denied by gun free zones that are in essence self-defense free zones…’ }

JIMMY HOFFA WARNS OF 'CIVIL WAR'...  { There is an exception to the hearsay rule known as a dying declaration; the rationale being that a person would not ‘go to his maker’ with a false statement/declaration to ‘taint his soul’. Interestingly, I had occasion to know a very intelligent, learned man who was indeed dying, in a death spiral if you will. A lawyer by profession, he had taken an interest in another lawyer’s history; none other than Abraham Lincoln himself. Curiously I thought at the time, though even then, some decades ago (long before the internet), I realized that you were never getting the whole, correct, true story from american media, history as written, etc.. ( I was fortunate in sixth grade to have had a great teacher, James Bresnahan, who allowed for ‘expansive’/accelerated learning in what he took the time and trouble to provide as an advanced reading group. Among the subjects was that knowledge/thinking tainting phenomena known more commonly as propaganda). After all, a long dead president; and, one who famously suffered from recurring bouts of severe depression could hardly be the object of, from my view, intense intellectual interest and scrutiny. Yet, he was fixated on what he deemed a somewhat surprising revelation; viz., from his intense study, Abe was not ‘Honest Abe’ but rather, was a thief. I was aware that in fact, Lincoln found niggers somewhat appalling and initially opposed ending slavery as well as those who favored same, viz., the abolitionists, etc. (niggers are a same old old story of lazy, unproductive, inherently very uncivilized criminal people who are fun-luvin’ for games, partying, and getting high only.  Even the incisive Shakespeare euphemistically referred to the ‘typicality’ of the inherently untrustworthy and without sense of honor, ‘noir’ [french for black]). The ultimate consummate politician (as a lawyer, Lincoln famously took a contrary position not long before saying he thought he then was right but now taking the opposite position now knew he was right … riiiiight! ‘Honest Abe’), Lincoln ultimately did, in rallying his ‘stalwarts’, back the abolitionist cause. I personally feel the people of the south were foolish in bringing vanquished niggers, sold into slavery by other niggers who vanquished them, to this already now recently blemished land. Moreover, as today, the niggers (and the abolitionist cause) had provided fodder for politics of  all sorts, including that of Lincoln. Indeed, even today, spielberg who is famous for his pro-jewish ‘politicking’/propaganda (even the first Indiana Jones movie was heavy on the Arab/Nazi transference propaganda) has found a way to make film-making pay for him and the democratic party by way of the misguided, inaccurate view of Lincoln as the anti-slavery icon he is speciously depicted as. Civil war? Hoffa, like his mob-connected, then disconnected (permanently) father is old news. The truth is that their own done them in (as was so of hoffa’s father) with NAFTA, etc., as they themselves foolishly laughed at their real would-be saviors, ie., Ross Perot, etc.. The reality is, there is literally nothing that can’t be produced better and cheaper and without paying the shake-down bribe from the teamsters et als for doing absolutely nothing (as is true with the other niggers, et als, entitlements, etc.), elsewhere. Twinkies anyone? }

Dianne Feinstein: No need to debate Republican opponent... { Riiiight! Things are going so swimmingly (as in drowning) for the nation and california particularly. Actually, I responded to a ‘generic’ email / facebook request from her with my subsequent request that she help to elicit a formal response from the FBI as promised regarding the RICO matters (the other incompetent, failed perrenial senator barbara boxer actually had ‘made her presence known’ in the corrupted process regarding usdcj matz/lester and the default of the u.s. which missed the filing date which error was compounded by the misstatement of the rule in court on the record by asst. us attorney robert i. lester); but, no response... http://albertpeia.com/selfdefense.htm   [ One thing is certain from my own direct experience { The unfortunate reality is what I’ve alluded to in the context of my own direct experience; viz., america’s ‘legal system’ is an illegal system used to cover-up crimes, arbitrarily enforce laws to apply pressure, etc., and essentially run by the inmates of this collective criminal entity called america: http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       
http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm      http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm   }   ; despite enormous amounts of taxpayer money poured into the ‘federal system’, there’s relatively/proportionately very little real significant results (an example would be the brutalizing of Martha Stewart over a $45 thousand transaction while wall street frauds in the trillions by the biggest players have gone unprosecuted). I believe reasonable diligence requires self-reliance more than ever before in this nation’s history; particularly when political correctness in some states prevents calling a spade a spade to the substantial detriment of law enforcement! ]

11-5-11 Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. 43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

Sincerely,

Albert L. Peia

America also leads in the illegal drug trade.  In fact, many researchers reveal that the war on drugs is only utilized to control and monopolize the illicit drug trade.  The US government has been caught multiple times shipping in cocaine [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvbdiWgwsA , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQNSoOX-dcw&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG1Id2qpSOE&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEUhpxeuP4&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyM43Sw2OVc&feature=related ] , colluding with certain cartels [ http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/08/does_mexican_drug_cartel_have_deal_with_us_government.html ] to control the industry, and now openly protects and transports opium from Afghanistan [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElEciFI0Pew ] .  In fact, Global Research points out that in 2001, “according to UN figures, opium production had fallen to 185 tons. Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [ http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world ] ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

,  Guest Post: The West Has Just Become A Giant Banana Republic  Legal precedent means nothing. Rule of law means nothing. Free speech means nothing. Their own treaties mean nothing. Its unbelievable. Anyone in the west who honestly thinks hes still living in a free society is either a fool or completely out of touch. If that seems too radical an idea, consider that ECUADOR is now the only nation which stands to defend freedom and human rights against an assault from the United States, the United Kingdom, and their spineless allies. The west has just become a giant banana republic. Have you hit your breaking point yet? If not now when?  { { Im really constrained to interject my own direct experience with the FBI here; and, I must say I do so lamentably. If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the tough questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal drug ops (opsriiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You cant make this stuff up. I also dont believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. Im beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the federal (judicial) system who share the same employer; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared more fairly with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:  Debauchery: An American specialty In the land of Lindsay Lohan and Snooki, some federal workers reflect our culture all too well. (Washington Post) [ Lindsay Lohan? Come on Mr. Milbank, hands off the low hanging fruit. Shes totally harmless. Jersey italian snooki? In mob infested new jersey, who knows (one of the properties in my proceedings for which surplus funds are unaccounted for was a top floor balconied 2 bedroom 1 and 1/2 bath condominium (beach/boardwalk front w/indoor pool/sauna) in seaside heights, n.j. 10-31-12 Post Sandy: Im wondering if its still there. ). But debauchery an american specialty? Another rare instance wherein I agree with Mr. Milbank completely. 25 Signs That America Is A Seething Cesspool Of Filth And Corruption http://albertpeia.com/25signsamericacesspooloffilthcrimeandcorruption.htm . Review of flawed forensics held close to vest EXCLUSIVE | Documents and interviews show FBI and Justice Department officials took steps to control information uncovered by a task force designed to examine cases involving discredited agents. Many defendants were never notified of flaws in cases. Simply unconscionable (Washington Post) [ Well, I really have to say this. Im awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ) . Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed the level and extent of corruption and criminality within the ranks of the u.s. government before embarking upon this costly quest for justice and simple fairness consistent with clear law (infra, regarding the u.s. governments direct involvement in the illegal drug trade). In this civil RICO matter, there are no innocent bystanders; but rather, perpetrators, accomplices, and co-conspirators. When the fbi agent initially assigned to this matter (Connecticut) abruptly resigned/retired shortly after a conversation, though not central to my case, wherein I had said that rudy giulianis father had been an (convicted) enforcer for the mob (served 12 years? in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter?) and then sent him documentation owing to his disbelief. Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard. I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agents departure who somewhat plaintively (my call being a burden) told me that he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari, which he didnt explain further. Could anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jerseys FBI office, I was greeted by an FBI Agent who sarcastically asked me whether I was going to the disco that night (the documents including sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alitos office in the same building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   . We all can infer sam alitos reward / quid pro quo for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme court.  There was never a question as to maryanne trump barrys interest in corrupting the judicial process as related to her brothers (trump) casinos. Jersey city boy louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klayman as the most corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly holders impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvds sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference. Im currently being stonewalled by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI Agent Bill Lewis.

Then there’s the 100 plus rounds of golf in addition to being famously over-vacationed while in office. Did wobama expect that these things would in choom fashion magically come to fruition while he was ‘workin on his tan’, golf swing, or shootin’ hoops on the taxpayer dime? http://albertpeia.com/wobamaschoomgangfantasy.htm 

The point is that you don’t have to love Romney but you at least have to like yourself in saying ‘NO!’ to more wobama b***s*** which is all that he is. Have some self-respect. His grade is unequivocally ‘F’ for failure, having failed to do as promised which coincidentally is a direct cause among others of this debacle called america’s dark obama years. All the talk/b***s*** cannot change that reality.   }http://albertpeia.com/10waysobamakillingjobsinamerica.htm    Wobama’s Choom Gang Bangin’ { This brief video (11 mb) is well done and worth a watch!  } http://www.albertpeia.com/wobamaschoomgangbangin.wmv      Friday Humor: "I Am Pledging To Cut The Deficit We Inherited By Half By The End Of My First Term In Office"  ZeroHedge.com Tyler Durden    ( The Real Obama Budget Deficit For 2011: 5 Trillion Dollars   http://albertpeia.com/2011realobamabudgetdeficit5trillion.htm    }    

Did the final presidential debate do anything to influence who you will support in ... NBCNews.com  { The following comment is correct. The other aspect is that people are seemingly pathetically ignoring that Os last 4 years have been an abject, utter failure in spectacularly unprecedented fashion. A sad commentary on the state of the nation when such blatantly clear reality is ignored by so many, including those who should know better.} Obama has told no truth in 4 years. He can't wave his hand and ignore sequestration. We need a leader not a liar. Romney is our only choice.

Violent crime rises sharply...6:53PM EDT October 17. 2012 - WASHINGTON — The violent crime rate went up 17% last year, ending a general decline in violence that began nearly 20 years ago, according to a new federal survey of crime victims.The Justice Department's National Crime Victimization Survey also found an 11% increase in the rate of property crimes, including household burglaries and car theft.’ { Come on! Perenially understated, these understated crime numbers don’t even take into account ‘protected/unprosecuted’ wall street frauds/crimes in the trillions. And, how about those fed paper bucks that ‘fell off the fed trucks’ even just recently; kind of like those 360 tons of $100 bills ($12 billion) flown into Iraq that just ‘disappeared into thin air, etc.. }

New Threats to Riot if Obama Loses Election...  [ The threats alone are a reason sufficient for backing President Romney. If left unchecked, the nigger terrorists will be even further emboldened to their already egregious criminal, terroristic ways. No man, woman, or child will be safe if the lethal black cancer grows. The 4 years of O have been complete, utter failure and no amount of wobama b***s*** and nigger intimidation can change that fact! Quite simply, niggers are inherently criminal terrorists: Examples of what people are saying include the following;

If obama dont get re-elected & romney wins .. on life every white persons getting pistol whipped and im startin a riot. (SOURCE)

If Obama dont win lets start a riot so Romney know what hes getting himself into. (SOURCE)

You know you aint shit if you gotta MAKE Mafukas vote for ROMNEY ! . Mannnn OBAMA better get back in office . Or BLACK FOLKS will riot. (SOURCE)

If Romney wins im goin on a rampage. (SOURCE)

If Mitt Romney wins the election I think its our duties as Black folks to riot and fuck shit up. (SOURCE)

If every action IS met with an equal and opposite reaction ..what should workers do to employers if Romneys elected? #Riot in the streets!! (SOURCE)

If Romney becomes president lets all start a riot. (SOURCE)

I Heard Mitt Romney , Tryna Take Away Food Stamps , If He Do .IMA START A RIOT , IMA START A RIOT. (SOURCE)

Boy writes letter to editor after shelter kills cat...
'Grown-ups killed my kitty'... To the editor: My name is Rayden. I am 8 years old and I live in Logan. Yesterday grown-ups killed my kitty, my best friend, when they werent supposed to. Because I really dont know how to write, my PaPa is writing down the things I think and say. My kittys name is Toothless. When I got him I had just seen How to Train a Dragon at the movies. My kitty looked just like the dragon Toothless with big green eyes and the hair around his head. Toothless, my cat, has long fluffy hair and sleeps on my bed and loved to play with my brother and me. Toothless would let us carry him around all the time. He was our best friend. Last week he didnt come in at night. Sometimes he does that, but this time he didnt come back. After two days my little brother Devin, who is 5, and I went to every house on our street and asked everyone if they had seen Toothless our cat. Everyone said no. We were worried and scared something was wrong. On Wednesday after work my dad went to the animal shelter as it was closing. They didnt want to let him in, but they did. He asked if there was a cat with long black fluffy hair there. They let my dad in to look at the cages, and there was Toothless! He was curled up laying in the back of the cage very scared. When my dad made his funny meow sound that he does to make him come home, Toothless jumped up and came to the screen and rubbed up against it and was so happy to see my dad, and he wasnt scared anymore. My dad wanted to take him home, but they said he had to go to another office building and pay a fee. The lady at the shelter said it would be OK and told him to come back the next day and we could get Toothless. When my dad came home and told my little brother and me he found Toothless we were so happy and we werent scarred or worried anymore. My dad went back the next day to get our kitty and they told him they didnt have any long-haired black cats. They only had a white fluffy cat. My dad waited a long time for the lady to come back and talk to him. The same lady that told my dad to come back the next day said she was sorry. She had forgotten to leave a note to tell the people my dad would be there for Toothless and they had just killed my cat that morning. She had just forgotten to write a note to save a member of my family. They killed him and I dont know why. My dad found out where he had been picked up and it was our neighbors down the street that dont like cats and dogs. They had caught him in a trap and gave him to the police to take him away. When Devin and I knocked on their door and asked if they had seen Toothless they told us no, and that was a lie. My dad and mom tell me and Devin not to lie and that is right. I didnt think big people lied because they are grown ups and know what is right. Now I dont know what to do. My cat Toothless is dead; the people that killed him didnt even give him to my dad so we could bury him. What do I do now? Rayden Sazama Logan  Editors note: Cache Humane Society Director Brenda Smith confirmed Raydens story that an animal shelter worker forgot to leave a note to halt euthanization of the Sazamas cat.  { The shelter/city should be sued and the employees involved should be fired for cause! }

If you’re a fool, you’ll buy into what is tantamount to the obama 100% employment fantasy where literally everyone but him has stopped looking for work and hence, not counted in compiling the unemployment rate (and then those jobs in the millions lost and gone forever on his watch - what a banana republic!). Come on, wake up!: JACK WELCH: OBAMA IS MANIPULATING THE JOBS NUMBERS BECAUSE HIS DEBATE PERFORMANCE WAS AWFUL…UNBELIEVABLE JOBS NUMBERS…THESE CHICAGO GUYS WILL DO ANYTHING…CAN’T DEBATE SO CHANGE NUMBERS. }

‘…But beyond the spin and the polls, a starkly different picture emerges. It is a portrait of a man quite unlike his image, not a visionary reformer but rather a classic Chicago machine pol who thrives on rewarding himself and his friends with the spoils of public office, and who uses his position to punish his enemies. Peter Schweizer captures this other Obama with a bracing statistic in his book "Throw Them All Out," published last year. In the Obama economic stimulus program's Department of Energy loans, companies owned and run by Obama contributors and friends, like Solyndra's George Kaiser, received $16.4 billion. Those not linked to the president got only $4.1 billion. The Energy Department is far from the only federal program in which favoritism has heavily influenced federal grants. To paraphrase Tammany Hall's George Washington Plunkitt, Obama has seen his opportunities and taken them, over and over. - Mark Tapscott / Executive Editor

ELECTION MANIPULATION: NEW PUMPING BEGINS!!  { This is an especially great opportunity to sell this suckers’ market/take profits! Nothing’s been solved! Just because ‘no-recession-helicopter-ben’ says something, does not mean it’s true (remember that ‘no recession call’ of his; and, of course, no QE before the election, prospectively, already discounted many times over by the ‘markets, such as they are, ie., algo buy programs, etc.. ).  All this and now ‘whatever’ is too little and too late for the uss Titanic which has taken on too much, not water, but b***s***. This was a desperate move, bespeaking desperation.The fact is things are ominously so bad, and worse than ‘allowed’ to be seen for the moment, that something as this QE which is economically and financially contraindicated and a proven failure for all but the frauds on wall street along with their cohorts including desperate politicos, is resorted to in desperation to divert attention from their unequivocal failure. After all, though having cost so many americans their jobs with wrong calls and policies, bernanke is trying to save his own by inflating the markets (along with everything else, ultimately hyperinflationary)  for fellow failure wobama’s sake (wobama rehired failure bernanke, President Romney would have fired, and will fire him … goldman sachs knew this dollar debasing failed policy QE 3 would come and at the expense of the muppets…that’s their term for all you suckers). I further believe this contraindicated largess to the frauds on wall street is to preserve his post fedship tenure job possibilities by ingratiating himself even further with those nefarious, self-serving interest groups. }

ROMNEY: 'Forwarned' is better than 'forward''...  { Sampling some of the network talking head roundtables over the weekend I was astounded how many wobamanoid apologists talked up the dismal, paltry private jobs, many part-time or low-pay, without mention of the record insurmountable $5 trillion increase in the deficit to create them for the purpose of obfuscating wobama’s blatantly failed performance as potus. Such people, either so partisan, so unschooled in the relevant disciplines, so ill-prepared for the journalistic task entrusted to them, literally have no defendable place in the field of real journalism and are an embarrassment to all that journalism purports to be. }

Yet, it cannot be denied that nobody, no news organization, not even a government agency did their homework in vetting this complete and utter fraud called ‘barack obama’! } ‘…After a couple of nights at the Time Warner Cable Arena, the convention was to have closed with President Obama’s acceptance speech at the Bank of America Stadium, where convention officials were planning to squeeze nearly 6,000 seats onto the field to expand the stadium’s capacity beyond its usual 74,000. But the speedway event was canceled — ostensibly because of logistical problems but more likely because convention fundraising was running low. Then the Democrats canceled the stadium event in favor of the smaller arena — ostensibly because of “severe thunderstorm” concerns but more likely because they couldn’t be sure enough people would come to fill the stadium.In fact, the forecast hadn’t called for severe weather, and conditions were fine Thursday night. The change caused thousands to be turned away, and the crush of crowds at the arena led authorities at one point to lock down the building for a second straight night – leaving some delegates on the street while lobbyists enjoyed the proceedings inside…’

Did wobama expect that these things would in choom fashion magically come to fruition while he was ‘workin on his tan’, golf swing, or shootin’ hoops on the taxpayer dime? http://albertpeia.com/wobamaschoomgangfantasy.htm 

The point is that you don’t have to love Romney but you at least have to like yourself in saying ‘NO!’ to more wobama b***s*** which is all that he is. Have some self-respect. His grade is unequivocally ‘F’ for failure, having failed to do as promised which coincidentally is a direct cause among others of this debacle called america’s dark obama years.

There are few physical tasks they do well and even fewer of said available tasks relative to their populations to make a difference. They are a near complete washout in non-physical tasks, are too costly and are bad workers, unproductive generally to employ and not worth the enormous cost and trouble. The very scant few exceptions are statistically insignificant. Niggers belong in jails where they can commit no crimes in general society; plus there’s the savings thereby on their invariably wasted welfare, programs in addition to their predisposed crimes on the outside…It is far cheaper to jail them which is best for civilized society (look at their off the charts crime rates, and that’s only those that are caught! They’ve literally destroyed cities as is so wherever they are in concentrated numbers. These are indisputable facts/truths that civilized societies/governments can no longer afford to deny.) } ...

Case in point: Maraniss confirmed that Mr. Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, left his father, Barack Obama, Sr., a volatile bigamist, and not the other way around, as related in Dreams. Dreams also related the tale of Obama's paternal grandfather, Hussein Onyango, who was said to have been detained and tortured in a prison outside Nairobi for six months because of his brave defiance of British colonialists. But after a half-dozen interviews and other research, Maraniss deemed the tale "unlikely."

So true in fact, that wobama will come to be compared to Pyrrhus of Ephyrus (W. Greece) since realization of what this legislation won’t do for americans and the economy and what it actually does will not have the galvanizing effect that striking the bill down would have had on voters who were thinking ‘another free lunch from the government’ will save them (we all now know better, no such thing). Yes, in somewhat European tradition, defacto bankrupt america is keeping up with the (ie., rating agencies Egan) Joneses. After all, we all know how well this European program model is working out for Europe (and any other nation that’s tried it). In the final analysis, this and such programs as the contraindicated bailouts for the unprosecuted frauds on wall street, etc., will prove to be the ‘camel-back breaking’ moment for america; and, a pyrrhic victory for the egregiously failed president wobama.  America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke. There are signs everywhere one looks…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion }

{ Wobama is so pathetic! Sure, sacrifice for the grifter wobamas so they can continue livin’ large on the taxpayer dime while accomplishing nothing except greater public debt to hide his failure. This from the record holder for fundraisers, 151 and counting. Then there’s the 100 plus rounds of golf in addition to being famously over-vacationed while in office. It’s laughable to hear him blame congress for his lack of accomplishments when the reality is that he ‘really wasn’t there’ for any of it. For wobama the presidency is just endless debate, rhetoric, campaigning, vacationing, soundbites from the teleprompted speeches, jive-talk, b***s***, and ‘choom fantasy’. He’s a total fraud and failure and anyone who buys into election-year desperation / promises, etc., is just a fool of the worst kind!   AP: ‘…
THE FACTS: Five Senate Democrats voted against sending the DREAM Act to the Senate floor for full consideration. The bill would have created a path to citizenship for many young illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children. Last week, Obama announced plans to stop deporting illegal immigrants who would have qualified for the DREAM Act. The policy change does not include a path to citizenship…’ Then there’s the other meretricious ‘wobama desperation hail mary’ that once again falls short. Indeed, as an investor, one analyzes earnings, projects prospective earnings over a 3-5 year horizon, and the quality of the earnings along macro economic factors which are affected by ‘political considerations’. Does anyone remember the honorable Ross Perot who warned of NAFTA’s effect on american jobs even as the democrat administration et als were hell-bent on passing same? Should Romney have breached his legal duty to shareholders and invested in companies with poor earnings prospects? After all, in the financial / security analysis step of projecting the income statement, prospective labor costs figure prominently in the bottomline. In sum, Romney took conditions as he found them, and made the prudent choices which as per his legal duty were optimal for those who put their trust in him. For those who put their trust in proven failure wobama, all they have to show for such misplaced trust are broken campaign promises, now insurmountable record deficit spending exceeding all the presidents since Eisenhower combined to obfuscate what clearly has been wobama’s unequivocal failure.  }

Trayvon Martin's autopsy shows he had marijuana in his system the night he was killed by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, and a gunshot to his chest came from close range, according to nearly 200 pages of previously undisclosed documents released Thursday.

ABC News Exclusive: Zimmerman Medical Report Shows Broken Nose, Lacerations After Trayvon Martin Shooting {That little (63) thieving nigger was enraged by his being thwarted in his scope-out/plundering of Zimmermans neighborhood. Clearly self-defense with wounds consistent with his true story, Zimmerman was fighting for his life and ultimately saved the citizens of Florida from the future costs of the burgeoning violent, thieving typical nigger-criminal trayvon martin.}

Shooter of Florida teen not a racist, lawyer says...
SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ]

That’s what they are. They are a blight on any neighborhood. They are a blight on any society and an insurmountable burden. They bring any society down.

Suspended THREE times for drugs, truancy and graffiti and 'caught carrying a burglary tool': New picture emerges of Trayvon Martin (and did he attack a bus driver too?)

The teen was suspended from school three times

He was on suspension when he was shot in February, after officials caught him with a 'marijuana pipe' and a baggie with drug residue

Trayvon was kicked out of school in October for graffiti after he was allegedly caught with a 'burglary tool' and a bag full of women's jewelry

Officials also suspended him once for skipping school and tardiness

Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times in the months before he was shot dead by a neighborhood watchman, it emerged today.

The facts, revealed in a leaked report, paint a different picture of a teenager who frequently found himself in trouble with authorities.

It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that it is claimed belonged to the teen.

The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a 'burglary tool' - a flathead screwdriver - and 12 pieces of women's jewellery. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.

I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA’s position with both felonies ( he went to prison – pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of ‘bystander effect’ / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal  / nigger after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal / nigger went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 niggers and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA. But, to be fair and balanced, the RICO litigation involves those uncivilized who consider themselves ‘whites’ http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf  (predominantly but not exclusively jews / romans-italians / mobsters / government slugs). ]

200 Involved In Fights At Mall Of America After Rumors That Rappers Are There...

Miami Heat Players Don Hoodies...
'Dead or Alive' Poster Issued by New Black Panther Party... [ ‘Minority Report’ Division of Pre-Crime, Pre-Cogs say, ‘Dead or Alive – all niggers’ … whatever the outcome in the investigative process, the stark reality is that at least, unlike the niggers committing many more ‘black on white’ violent crimes,  Zimmerman (and this is no endorsement – I won’t be looking at this one incident all that closely) was at least trying to do a good thing made necessary by the ever increasing number of brutal crimes committed by the black thugs in neighborhoods across the nation; then there’s somalian pirates, etc.. People domestically and internationally are suffering from nigger-fatigue and are totally niggered out. Oh, yeah, there are some Hollywood types who feel good about themselves having niggers around and helping niggers to help them feel better than they really are, insecure as they are, by being better than at least someone beyond fantasy. Loony george clooney is one. Dreadfully boring and with that monotone, monotonous voice and not that bright, he’s not even able to fake it on screen as an action hero (ie., batman, what a horrific miscast) wimpy pussy in reality that he is; then there’s the ‘black (sean) penn’ who cried like a baby while incarcerated for a couple of days not that long ago. The atheist jolie, so fatherly troubled as she is, has let the equally mentally troubled pitt (she so nutty she makes him feel somewhat sane though still not too bright) and pendulum ‘backwoods bob’ be the closest she’s gotten to her black projects. Let them live anonomously (in disguise) with the niggers for some time for a real close look and then see what’s left of their predisposed love for the nigger. Then there’s the italian scallion, booby deniro; drug addled as his black wife high-tower, what a total embarrassment to Italians everywhere; even as he tried to ingratiate himself recently with niggers everywhere and particularly national embarrassment mammy michele with the embarrassing pro-nigger first lady remark..   [ Send the niggers back to sub-saharan Africa! ]
'BLACK NIGGERS [ NOT WHITES BY NIGGERS THE IMPLICATION DESPITE FACTUAL DATA TO THE CONTRARY  ] ARE UNDER ATTACK [ SAYS NIGGER SHAKEDOWN ARTIST JACKSON] ' [ Hold on one cotton-pickin’ minute jesse, that’s not what the facts say
Obama: ‘If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.’ [ Yeah! He’d look just like any other nigger. And, don’t worry about the black vote, failed president wobama the b for b***s*** will get nearly if not all, 100% of the nigger vote! Drudgereport:  Farrakhan Threatens 'Retaliation'… [ Retaliation? Can you imagine the number of blacks that would have to be retaliated against based upon the hushed reality of the prevalence of black on white crime? The blacks should be careful what they wish for in playing that game because the facts don’t break in their favor. ] ...

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

http://www.albertpeia.com/whitesvictimizedbyblacks.htm   

The reality is that blacks are an insoluble problem wherever they are. That’s not going to ever change; not make-shift/make-work jobs; not programs; not anything tried or to be tried; hence, they must be treated as exactly that – problems – before a solution can be derived and fashioned. ] [ Send the niggers, including niggerbama back to sub-saharan africa! ]

They think it’s their job, and lounging on the Oval Office couches, they nod along with the president’s every musing. But this presidency has taken OOCS to new heights. Mr. Obama has only a few trusted aides, and occasional leaks from the West Wing show a paranoid president suspicious of nearly everyone around him. Supremely confident, convinced by the fawning minions at his feet that he is untouchable, the president dismisses all controversy as partisan attacks by an overzealous opposition. A pliant press corps of stenographers follows in lockstep…Speaking for the White House, the flack said the CIA was fully to blame for the talking points. Fully. “That is what was generated by the intelligence community, by the CIA,” he said. For the record, this is what the CIA “generated”…’

REPORT: Media ignores Beach Week violence, racial tensions... { Typical niggers! ‘…Reporters with all the local media had trouble describing what happened over the weekend when 40,000 black people descended on Virginia Beach for a party. Their audiences, however, did not. Daniel Johnson was one of dozens of people who had no trouble talking about the lawbreakers and the widespread chaos, danger, thefts, violence and lawlessness they brought to Virginia Beach as part of College Beach Week 2013; a time when black students could “blow off some steam” before final exams. “Because it was a group of young black college people everyone is scared to say anything for fear of being called a racist,” he said in a post to a Virginian-Pilot news story. “It is what it is – these people come to the Beach and do everything in there [sic] power to intimidate the local and visiting White people at the Beach – rude – disrespectful – dirty and violent – They come here and treat our beach like a toilet On Saturday afternoon I went to the Harris Teeter and a LARGE group of young black visitors were in the parking lot drinking and playing loud music – intimidating locals – I called the police and even though 2 cop cars drove by nothing was done!” Police reported 900 emergency calls to 9-1-1 Saturday night involving at least three shootings, three stabbings and three robberies. That they know of. All during a four-hour period. People in Virginia Beach are furious and are taking to Facebook and the local news sites to have their say…’

Rolon recognized Shermain Miles because he’s seen her more times than he can count — drunk, half-naked, cursing and, on one occasion, lunging at another woman with a dinner fork. Since 1978, Chicago Police alone have arrested Miles 396 times, mostly on the North Side — under at least 83 different aliases. Those arrests include 92 for theft, 65 for disorderly conduct, 59 for prostitution-related crimes and five for robbery or attempted robbery. The frustrating truth: The system — strapped by overcrowded prisons and cuts to mental health funding — hasn’t been able to save Miles from herself or to help the communities she menaces. Nothing has worked. Not jail. Not prison. Not countless psychological exams for the woman described as being “acutely psychotic.”’  }

WHite House Threatens Another Journalist  WMAL.com February 28, 2013 Bob Woodward isn’t the only person who’s received threats for airing the Obama administration’s dirty laundry. It seems anyone is a potential target of the White House these days – even former senior members of the Clinton administration. A day after Woodward’s claim that a senior White House official had told him he would “regret” writing a column criticizing President Obama’s stance on the sequester, Lanny Davis, a longtime close advisor to President Bill Clinton, told WMAL’s Mornings on the Mall Thursday he had received similar threats for newspaper columns he had written about Obama in the Washington Times.Davis told WMAL that his editor, John Solomon, “received a phone call from a senior Obama White House official who didn’t like some of my columns, even though I’m a supporter of Obama. I couldn’t imagine why this call was made.” Davis says the Obama aide told Solomon, “that if he continued to run my columns, he would lose, or his reporters would lose their White House credentials.” }

WHITE HOUSE THREATENS WOODWARD:
'YOU WILL REGRET DOING THIS'
  {The nigger approach … to elections, governing, etc., etc. }

Watergate reporter blasts Obama 'madness'... By Susan Heavey WASHINGTON | Feb 27, 2013 (Reuters) – ‘Journalist Bob Woodward on Wednesday criticized Barack Obama's handling of the automatic U.S. budget cuts set to take effect this week, calling the president's decision to hold back on military deployments "madness."His comments continued what has become a running dispute between Woodward, perhaps the country's best-known print journalist, and the Democratic White House over who is responsible for the across-the-board cuts scheduled to begin on Friday. Last week, Woodward published an opinion piece in the Washington Post - where he is an associate editor - saying the administration was "wrong" to blame the cuts on Republicans…’
WHITE HOUSE WARNS WOODWARD: 'YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET DOING THIS'  { That’s a threat! }
'It makes me very uncomfortable'... { WOODWARD: It was said very clearly, you will regret doing this. }
POLITICO: Exclusive Details...  ‘Bob Woodward called a senior White House official last week to tell him that in a piece in that weekend’s Washington Post, he was going to question President Barack Obama’s account of how sequestration came about - and got a major-league brushback. The Obama aide “yelled at me for about a half hour,” Woodward told us in an hour-long interview yesterday around the Georgetown dining room table where so many generations of Washington’s powerful have spilled their secrets… Woodward repeated the last sentence, making clear he saw it as a veiled threat…’

Atheists 'face discrimination around globe'... { Indeed! After all, the ‘globe’ can’t be wrong ‘all the time’. Actually, I have previously stated that I can empathize with the agnostic ( F. Lee Bailey was notably in that category by prior self-proclamation, among others ); this world being such as it is, human beings such as they are. Yet, said position is still unequivocally, absolutely incorrect; but, understandable. The position of the atheist is at the least intellectually dishonest (at worst, constituting a petulant penchant for the ‘great lie’ and in some instances, an inherent capacity for great evil). But, as well, incorrect, and certainly not understandable; and all the more wrong by positing something they don’t and hence, obviously, could not know as being so. Atheists are, quite simply…pathetic! }

CARSON: ‘Here's my solution: When a person is born, give him a birth certificate, an electronic medical record, and a health savings account to which money can be contributed -- pretax -- from the time you're born 'til the time you die. When you die, you can pass it on to your family members, so that when you're 85 years old and you got six diseases, you're not trying to spend up everything. You're happy to pass it on and there's nobody talking about death panels. Number one. And also, for the people who were indigent who don't have any money we can make contributions to their HSA each month because we already have this huge pot of money. Instead of sending it to some bureaucracy, let's put it in their HSAs. Now they have some control over their own health care.’) { Sounds smart, good, and rational to me! }

12-21-12  NRA LaPierre: Hollywood, media, music, violent videos cause culture of violence... { There is indeed a culture of violence in america; that, along with a celibratory attitude toward crime and criminals generally (and of course, cowardice in the face of criminality, which didnt apply to the Newton, CT  tragic scenario), along with the reality that crime in america pays, and pays well, and is largely protected at the highest levels. That said, I still oppose any and all censorship (a slippery slope in a country now as this, best not tread on) to the extent thats inferred from LaPierres cogent speech; though I believe it a stretch for anyone to have reasonably gleaned that from his words so eloquently put. I read the text of his entire speech as he made it. I believe he was correct in every significant respect; importantly, and simply put, bad guys (criminals) with guns can only be stopped by good guys with guns. Moreover, I would add that criminals will always have (and have access to getting) guns. To strip the good, the innocents of their like defense against same is insanity. I hearken back to and reiterate the (famed NRA truism and) reality that its people that kill people and the numerous examples he gave of armed defense the only real, true protection for those in need, as ie., children, etc., of protection from the nefarious elements of our increasingly less than civilized society. }  NRAs Wrongheaded Response to Sandy Hook Violence Infowars.com | NRA Executive Vice President calls for more cops in schools and a government database of the mentally ill.  { The following rebuttal from Infowars is not entirely unreasonable but I believe relies too much on the presumption of sanity among the american masses: ‘…LaPierre also announced a NRA model security program of armed volunteers to guard schools. He said Rep. Asa Hutchison, R-Ark., will lead the program for the lobbying organization. While the idea of armed citizen volunteers protecting schools is reasonable, the call for adding more police is not. The presence of police in public schools has created a number of problems from tasering and handcuffing students to shooting them to death in addition to fostering a prison-like environment [if the shoe fits]. As for creating a government database of people suffering from mental illness and then presumably denying them Second Amendment rights, this is a dangerous idea begging for government abuse [as was so in the former communist soviet union of old]. If the state is allowed to determine what mental illness is and who suffers from it, large numbers of people will undoubtedly have their right to own firearms denied (like veterans suffering from PTSD are denied their rights). It looks like the NRA is merely passing the buck on this issue and once again relying on government to devise solutions [this is an unfair criticism by infowars inasmuch as the NRA are not elected officials although, truth be told, as evidenced in the past election, u.s. elections are a total joke and are indeed rigged then there were as well the unprecedented terrorist threats of violence/rioting by the typically uncivilized niggers ( note that wobama, a nigger himself, registered no objection to those threats and intimidation the uncivilized niggers having their way now with purported civilized institutions dont forget the crime stats wherein niggers are the undisputed leaders by far ) as well as voter fraud, and incumbents did not want to rock their boat, aka the uss titanic ]. The solution to public school violence is really quite simple citizens must be fully empowered to exercise the right to self-protection and the protection of their families (defense is a natural right that has nothing to do with the real reason the Second Amendment was established). This right to self-protection cannot be denied by gun free zones that are in essence self-defense free zones…’ }

JIMMY HOFFA WARNS OF 'CIVIL WAR'...  { There is an exception to the hearsay rule known as a dying declaration; the rationale being that a person would not ‘go to his maker’ with a false statement/declaration to ‘taint his soul’. Interestingly, I had occasion to know a very intelligent, learned man who was indeed dying, in a death spiral if you will. A lawyer by profession, he had taken an interest in another lawyer’s history; none other than Abraham Lincoln himself. Curiously I thought at the time, though even then, some decades ago (long before the internet), I realized that you were never getting the whole, correct, true story from american media, history as written, etc.. ( I was fortunate in sixth grade to have had a great teacher, James Bresnahan, who allowed for ‘expansive’/accelerated learning in what he took the time and trouble to provide as an advanced reading group. Among the subjects was that knowledge/thinking tainting phenomena known more commonly as propaganda). After all, a long dead president; and, one who famously suffered from recurring bouts of severe depression could hardly be the object of, from my view, intense intellectual interest and scrutiny. Yet, he was fixated on what he deemed a somewhat surprising revelation; viz., from his intense study, Abe was not ‘Honest Abe’ but rather, was a thief. I was aware that in fact, Lincoln found niggers somewhat appalling and initially opposed ending slavery as well as those who favored same, viz., the abolitionists, etc. (niggers are a same old old story of lazy, unproductive, inherently very uncivilized criminal people who are fun-luvin’ for games, partying, and getting high only.  Even the incisive Shakespeare euphemistically referred to the ‘typicality’ of the inherently untrustworthy and without sense of honor, ‘noir’ [french for black]). The ultimate consummate politician (as a lawyer, Lincoln famously took a contrary position not long before saying he thought he then was right but now taking the opposite position now knew he was right … riiiiight! ‘Honest Abe’), Lincoln ultimately did, in rallying his ‘stalwarts’, back the abolitionist cause. I personally feel the people of the south were foolish in bringing vanquished niggers, sold into slavery by other niggers who vanquished them, to this already now recently blemished land. Moreover, as today, the niggers (and the abolitionist cause) had provided fodder for politics of  all sorts, including that of Lincoln. Indeed, even today, spielberg who is famous for his pro-jewish ‘politicking’/propaganda (even the first Indiana Jones movie was heavy on the Arab/Nazi transference propaganda) has found a way to make film-making pay for him and the democratic party by way of the misguided, inaccurate view of Lincoln as the anti-slavery icon he is speciously depicted as. Civil war? Hoffa, like his mob-connected, then disconnected (permanently) father is old news. The truth is that their own done them in (as was so of hoffa’s father) with NAFTA, etc., as they themselves foolishly laughed at their real would-be saviors, ie., Ross Perot, etc.. The reality is, there is literally nothing that can’t be produced better and cheaper and without paying the shake-down bribe from the teamsters et als for doing absolutely nothing (as is true with the other niggers, et als, entitlements, etc.), elsewhere. Twinkies anyone? }

Dianne Feinstein: No need to debate Republican opponent... { Riiiight! Things are going so swimmingly (as in drowning) for the nation and california particularly. Actually, I responded to a ‘generic’ email / facebook request from her with my subsequent request that she help to elicit a formal response from the FBI as promised regarding the RICO matters (the other incompetent, failed perrenial senator barbara boxer actually had ‘made her presence known’ in the corrupted process regarding usdcj matz/lester and the default of the u.s. which missed the filing date which error was compounded by the misstatement of the rule in court on the record by asst. us attorney robert i. lester); but, no response... http://albertpeia.com/selfdefense.htm   [ One thing is certain from my own direct experience { The unfortunate reality is what I’ve alluded to in the context of my own direct experience; viz., america’s ‘legal system’ is an illegal system used to cover-up crimes, arbitrarily enforce laws to apply pressure, etc., and essentially run by the inmates of this collective criminal entity called america: http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       
http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm      http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm   }   ; despite enormous amounts of taxpayer money poured into the ‘federal system’, there’s relatively/proportionately very little real significant results (an example would be the brutalizing of Martha Stewart over a $45 thousand transaction while wall street frauds in the trillions by the biggest players have gone unprosecuted). I believe reasonable diligence requires self-reliance more than ever before in this nation’s history; particularly when political correctness in some states prevents calling a spade a spade to the substantial detriment of law enforcement! ]

11-5-11 Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. 43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

Sincerely,

Albert L. Peia

America also leads in the illegal drug trade.  In fact, many researchers reveal that the war on drugs is only utilized to control and monopolize the illicit drug trade.  The US government has been caught multiple times shipping in cocaine [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvbdiWgwsA , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQNSoOX-dcw&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG1Id2qpSOE&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEUhpxeuP4&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyM43Sw2OVc&feature=related ] , colluding with certain cartels [ http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/08/does_mexican_drug_cartel_have_deal_with_us_government.html ] to control the industry, and now openly protects and transports opium from Afghanistan [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElEciFI0Pew ] .  In fact, Global Research points out that in 2001, “according to UN figures, opium production had fallen to 185 tons. Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [ http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world ] ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

,  Guest Post: The West Has Just Become A Giant Banana Republic  Legal precedent means nothing. Rule of law means nothing. Free speech means nothing. Their own treaties mean nothing. Its unbelievable. Anyone in the west who honestly thinks hes still living in a free society is either a fool or completely out of touch. If that seems too radical an idea, consider that ECUADOR is now the only nation which stands to defend freedom and human rights against an assault from the United States, the United Kingdom, and their spineless allies. The west has just become a giant banana republic. Have you hit your breaking point yet? If not now when?  { { Im really constrained to interject my own direct experience with the FBI here; and, I must say I do so lamentably. If you want no real results vis-ŕ-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the tough questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal drug ops (opsriiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You cant make this stuff up. I also dont believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. Im beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the federal (judicial) system who share the same employer; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared more fairly with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra:  Debauchery: An American specialty In the land of Lindsay Lohan and Snooki, some federal workers reflect our culture all too well. (Washington Post) [ Lindsay Lohan? Come on Mr. Milbank, hands off the low hanging fruit. Shes totally harmless. Jersey italian snooki? In mob infested new jersey, who knows (one of the properties in my proceedings for which surplus funds are unaccounted for was a top floor balconied 2 bedroom 1 and 1/2 bath condominium (beach/boardwalk front w/indoor pool/sauna) in seaside heights, n.j. 10-31-12 Post Sandy: Im wondering if its still there. ). But debauchery an american specialty? Another rare instance wherein I agree with Mr. Milbank completely. 25 Signs That America Is A Seething Cesspool Of Filth And Corruption http://albertpeia.com/25signsamericacesspooloffilthcrimeandcorruption.htm . Review of flawed forensics held close to vest EXCLUSIVE | Documents and interviews show FBI and Justice Department officials took steps to control information uncovered by a task force designed to examine cases involving discredited agents. Many defendants were never notified of flaws in cases. Simply unconscionable (Washington Post) [ Well, I really have to say this. Im awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ) . Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed the level and extent of corruption and criminality within the ranks of the u.s. government before embarking upon this costly quest for justice and simple fairness consistent with clear law (infra, regarding the u.s. governments direct involvement in the illegal drug trade). In this civil RICO matter, there are no innocent bystanders; but rather, perpetrators, accomplices, and co-conspirators. When the fbi agent initially assigned to this matter (Connecticut) abruptly resigned/retired shortly after a conversation, though not central to my case, wherein I had said that rudy giulianis father had been an (convicted) enforcer for the mob (served 12 years? in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter?) and then sent him documentation owing to his disbelief. Though ultimately ineffectual vis-ŕ-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard. I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agents departure who somewhat plaintively (my call being a burden) told me that he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari, which he didnt explain further. Could anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jerseys FBI office, I was greeted by an FBI Agent who sarcastically asked me whether I was going to the disco that night (the documents including sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alitos office in the same building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   . We all can infer sam alitos reward / quid pro quo for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme court.  There was never a question as to maryanne trump barrys interest in corrupting the judicial process as related to her brothers (trump) casinos. Jersey city boy louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klayman as the most corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly holders impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvds sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference. Im currently being stonewalled by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI Agent Bill Lewis.

Indeed, even his so-called ‘auto-biographies’ are works of what appear to be ‘choom-gang’ induced fantasies which reveal a psychogenic/dissociative amnesia that works well in the continuing ‘narrative’ devoid of fact on his ‘more b*** s*** campaign trail’ littered with the cowpies of stark reality.

The point is that you don’t have to love Romney but you at least have to like yourself in saying ‘NO!’ to more wobama b***s*** which is all that he is. Have some self-respect.

The other aspect is that people are seemingly pathetically ignoring that Os last 4 years have been an abject, utter failure in spectacularly unprecedented fashion.

He can't wave his hand and ignore sequestration. We need a leader not a liar. Romney is our only choice.

Violent crime rises sharply...6:53PM EDT October 17. 2012 - WASHINGTON — The violent crime rate went up 17% last year, ending a general decline in violence that began nearly 20 years ago, according to a new federal survey of crime victims.The Justice Department's National Crime Victimization Survey also found an 11% increase in the rate of property crimes, including household burglaries and car theft.’ { Come on! Perenially understated, these understated crime numbers don’t even take into account ‘protected/unprosecuted’ wall street frauds/crimes in the trillions. And, how about those fed paper bucks that ‘fell off the fed trucks’ even just recently; kind of like those 360 tons of $100 bills ($12 billion) flown into Iraq that just ‘disappeared into thin air, etc.. }

New Threats to Riot if Obama Loses Election...  [ The threats alone are a reason sufficient for backing President Romney. If left unchecked, the nigger terrorists will be even further emboldened to their already egregious criminal, terroristic ways. No man, woman, or child will be safe if the lethal black cancer grows. The 4 years of O have been complete, utter failure and no amount of wobama b***s*** and nigger intimidation can change that fact! Quite simply, niggers are inherently criminal terrorists: Examples of what people are saying include the following;

If obama dont get re-elected & romney wins .. on life every white persons getting pistol whipped and im startin a riot. (SOURCE)

If Obama dont win lets start a riot so Romney know what hes getting himself into. (SOURCE)

You know you aint shit if you gotta MAKE Mafukas vote for ROMNEY ! . Mannnn OBAMA better get back in office . Or BLACK FOLKS will riot. (SOURCE)

If Romney wins im goin on a rampage. (SOURCE)

If Mitt Romney wins the election I think its our duties as Black folks to riot and fuck shit up. (SOURCE)

If every action IS met with an equal and opposite reaction ..what should workers do to employers if Romneys elected? #Riot in the streets!! (SOURCE)

If Romney becomes president lets all start a riot. (SOURCE)

I Heard Mitt Romney , Tryna Take Away Food Stamps , If He Do .IMA START A RIOT , IMA START A RIOT. (SOURCE)

Ms. O’Reilly, then not yet 30, said she wound up transporting doping material across borders, disposing of drugs and syringes when the authorities were lurking, and distributing performance-enhancing substances to the team’s riders whenever they needed them…’  ]  Teammates turn on Armstrong...   26 testify...  { So much for the atheist armstrong; what a total fraud!

PAPER: 'THE OBAMA YOU DON'T KNOW'...
‘…But beyond the spin and the polls, a starkly different picture emerges. It is a portrait of a man quite unlike his image, not a visionary reformer but rather a classic Chicago machine pol who thrives on rewarding himself and his friends with the spoils of public office, and who uses his position to punish his enemies. Peter Schweizer captures this other Obama with a bracing statistic in his book "Throw Them All Out," published last year. In the Obama economic stimulus program's Department of Energy loans, companies owned and run by Obama contributors and friends, like Solyndra's George Kaiser, received $16.4 billion. Those not linked to the president got only $4.1 billion. The Energy Department is far from the only federal program in which favoritism has heavily influenced federal grants. To paraphrase Tammany Hall's George Washington Plunkitt, Obama has seen his opportunities and taken them, over and over. - Mark Tapscott / Executive Editor

9-13-12  ELECTION MANIPULATION: NEW PUMPING BEGINS!!  { This is an especially great opportunity to sell this suckers’ market/take profits! Nothing’s been solved! Just because ‘no-recession-helicopter-ben’ says something, does not mean it’s true (remember that ‘no recession call’ of his; and, of course, no QE before the election, prospectively, already discounted many times over by the ‘markets, such as they are, ie., algo buy programs, etc.. ).  All this and now ‘whatever’ is too little and too late for the uss Titanic which has taken on too much, not water, but b***s***. This was a desperate move, bespeaking desperation.The fact is things are ominously so bad, and worse than ‘allowed’ to be seen for the moment, that something as this QE which is economically and financially contraindicated and a proven failure for all but the frauds on wall street along with their cohorts including desperate politicos, is resorted to in desperation to divert attention from their unequivocal failure. After all, though having cost so many americans their jobs with wrong calls and policies, bernanke is trying to save his own by inflating the markets (along with everything else, ultimately hyperinflationary)  for fellow failure wobama’s sake (wobama rehired failure bernanke, President Romney would have fired, and will fire him … goldman sachs knew this dollar debasing failed policy QE 3 would come and at the expense of the muppets…that’s their term for all you suckers). I further believe this contraindicated largess to the frauds on wall street is to preserve his post fedship tenure job possibilities by ingratiating himself even further with those nefarious, self-serving interest groups. }

Indeed, David Bowie (Nicholas Roeg’s ‘Man Who Fell to Earth’), wobama is not; not that even David Bowie could have siphoned/drained the vote as did grifter/conman/parasite obama. Yet, it cannot be denied that nobody, no news organization, not even a government agency did their homework in vetting this complete and utter fraud called ‘barack obama’! } ‘…After a couple of nights at the Time Warner Cable Arena, the convention was to have closed with President Obama’s acceptance speech at the Bank of America Stadium, where convention officials were planning to squeeze nearly 6,000 seats onto the field to expand the stadium’s capacity beyond its usual 74,000. But the speedway event was canceled — ostensibly because of logistical problems but more likely because convention fundraising was running low. Then the Democrats canceled the stadium event in favor of the smaller arena — ostensibly because of “severe thunderstorm” concerns but more likely because they couldn’t be sure enough people would come to fill the stadium.In fact, the forecast hadn’t called for severe weather, and conditions were fine Thursday night. The change caused thousands to be turned away, and the crush of crowds at the arena led authorities at one point to lock down the building for a second straight night – leaving some delegates on the street while lobbyists enjoyed the proceedings inside…’

The point is that you don’t have to love Romney but you at least have to like yourself in saying ‘NO!’ to more wobama b***s*** which is all that he is. Have some self-respect. His grade is unequivocally ‘F’ for failure, having failed to do as promised which coincidentally is a direct cause among others of this debacle called america’s dark obama years.

STUDY: Girls As Young As 6 See Themselves As Sex Objects... { Wow! This is really quite alarming and bespeaks america’s new-found perverse, third-world uncivilized status, which is ‘picked up’ by kids who in some ways are smarter than given credit for with a vulnerable longing to please, be accepted in light of their powerless position in our ever more deteriorating society. For the record, personally, I’ve never had a virgin though I’ve been in a position to; that’s something I just don’t do. Never have, never wanted to, never would, never will! Moreover, with the prevalence of sick pedophiles and kiddie-porn, it’s not so surprising that kids might pick up on such abominable vibes. It is difficult to imagine that little girls could be the objects of such horror as, ie., Samantha Runnion ( who
was kidnapped, sexually abused and strangled by a man who lured her from her front yard by telling her he had lost his dog. Her naked body was found the next day by a hiker in Cleveland National Forest, 50 miles southeast of Stanton.[1] The autopsy revealed that she died from compression. A sample of the kidnapper's DNA was found under her fingernail. The suspect, a Lake Elsinore, California, man named Alejandro Avila, was convicted of first degree murder with special circumstances in May 2005. His DNA was found on Samantha's body, and her DNA was found in his car. He was arrested three days after the abduction. Avila had previously been to the condominium complex where Samantha lived, because his ex-girlfriend resided there and he had been previously acquitted of molesting her daughter and niece. On May 16, 2005, the jury recommended he receive the death penalty. On July 22, 2005, Avila was formally sentenced to death. He is incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison on death row ). As an aside, I’ve included the following for the record as well: Though I’ve had many consensual sexual liasons with many different female sexual partners (mid-hundreds) all of whom I liked, I’ve never, ever resorted to prostitutes. The accidental exceptions included two ‘call girls’; one having met at summer beach town bar matinee and who was ‘not working’ (as it turned out the reason being she was at the end of her menstrual cycle). The other at a grocery store with her daughter which made such in my mind, unlikely. As it turned out, both were ‘nymphomaniacs’ (which, truth be told, made for quite an exceptional sexual romp) and I simplistically inferred/surmised without dwelling on the subject that they probably expected they’d have inordinate amounts of sex anyway and might as well get paid for it – of course I didn’t nor was I asked to. The other incident I’m including here for the record concerned an absolutely beautiful (blonde hair, blue eyes, pretty, cute, perfectly built/proportioned – make no mistake, however, I like brunettes also) girl I met at a bar called ‘the Red Ranch’, later changed to ‘Harpoon Willy’s’. At closing, we immediately became amorous, near intimate to a point in my car with abrupt ‘resistance’ at the ‘crucial moments’. When I finally, ‘exasperated’, asked ‘what’s up’, she stated she had recently broken up with her boyfriend who had gone too far in the ‘sado-masochistic’ ritual behavior they were, and she still was into. I told her I wasn’t into it  (I don’t connect sex with sado-masochism); never would, never did, never will. We talked for quite some time and she explained her ‘predisposition’ the (her perceived) consequence of her strict, puritanical upbringing and feelings of guilt concomitant with sexual activity requiring coincident punishment/pain when so engaged. I was busy with law school evenings, work, and teaching at a local college part-time and parted ways without taking her number and never did see her again. }  { Previously, for the record: Yes...it's absolutely, unequivocally true that blacks are inherently uncivilized and in evolutionary terms, only evolved to a point ( http://albertpeia.com/anthroindex1.htm ).

(WP) ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims ' ], and prone to violence as with any feral animal. Moreover, I must admit that I find their simian look repulsive; and, even before totally realizing the foregoing reality owing to self-destructive egalitarian propaganda, never did and never would know a black female in the biblical sense (despite their ‘intrusively easy availability’, in my view a form of bestiality - not a matter of skin color inasmuch as I have ‘known biblically’ red-Indian, brown-Hispanic, yellow-Oriental women). Wobama the b for b***s*** is a typical, jive-talking 'n-word' and consequently as well, an abject failure as president. I was fortunate to have no blacks whatsoever in my schools (schooling) through high school. }

GALLUP: OBAMA VS ROMNEY DEAD HEAT...

{ Drudge: What’s with your self-immolating obsession with rice? Aside from nationwide negroe fatigue (except among blacks –President Romney will get less than 1% of the black vote, no matter what – because…President Romney is white and wobama is black … period …that’s the way it is and wishing will not make it not so! ), the essential reason she’d be a bad choice is that she carries with her the failures of the bush regime (numerous) and sound management requires an unequivocal ‘new broom’ (as per Drucker, et als). http://albertpeia.com  Stated another way, at this critical juncture, the nation must be managed for performance. Goals/objectives must be set and reasonable steps consistent with the goals must be taken. President Romney’s application of such a competent managerial approach was even evidenced in his acclaimed handling of the Olympics as well as his sterling record in business (Bill Clinton’s true words, though against interest) and tenure as Governor. Wobama has but b***s*** and failure obfuscating record deficits to show for his choom failed fantasy presidency. }

PALIN: DRUDGE HISTORY... { Drudge history? I don’t even know what this headline means; but, I can tell you that palin’s history!

Joe McGinniss Sarah Palin Book, 'The Rogue,' Makes Controversial Claims About Former Alaska Governor  ‘Joe McGinniss's new book, The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin, hits bookstores next week, but its controversial claims about the former Alaska governor are already making waves.

In the book, McGinniss writes that Palin had a one-night stand in 1987 with future NBA basketball player Glen Rice nine months before she married her husband Todd. He quotes a friend who said Palin "had a fetish for black guys for a while."

"She was a gorgeous woman. Super nice. I was blown away by her," Rice tells McGinniss in the book, NBC reports. "Afterward, she was a big crush that I had."

McGinniss's book also alleges that Palin had an extramarital affair with her husband's business partner, Brad Hanson, in the mid-1990s, and snorted cocaine off a 55-gallon oil drum while snowboarding.

"An utter fraud. An absolute and utter fraud," McGinniss calls Palin in an interview about the book with NBC.

"At best, she's a hypocrite," McGinniss tells NBC's Savannah Guthrie. "At worst, she's a vindictive hypocrite."

McGinniss famously moved into a house next door to Palin's Wasilla, Alaska home to write his book -- prompting the Palins to accuse him of stalking them. They built a high fence along their property to protect their privacy.

In response to McGinniss's book, Todd Palin gave a statement to NBC saying that McGinniss "spent the last year interviewing marginal figures with an axe to grind in order to churn out a hit piece to satisfy his own creepy obsession with my wife."

"I'd ask the fathers and husbands of America to consider our privacy when one summer day I found this guy on the deck of the rental property, just 18 feet away next door to us, staring like a creep at my wife while she mowed the lawn in her shorts," Palin said.

McGinniss says that anything he learned about Palin by living next door did not make it into the book, but he does become a character in the story himself.

The New York Times writes in its review:

Soon Mr. McGinniss is settling in to enjoy the fuss his mere presence has created. "Normally, for a news story to continue beyond the first 24-hour news cycle, something newsworthy must occur," he writes loftily, but "The Rogue" is filled with proof to the contrary. What was his hate mail like? He quotes it. What did Glenn Beck call him? That’s here too. Who took umbrage at this venom and chose to help him? One man offered him a hideout, despite Mr. McGinniss's slight skepticism about his motives. "But you don’t know me," Mr. McGinniss protested.

McGinniss's book is scheduled to hit bookstores on Tuesday, Sept. 20.

Bristol Palin Interview Accidentally Reveals Mother's 15 Abortions  www.theonion.comWASILLA, AKSarah Palin's political team was forced to do emergency damage control Monday after the former Alaska governor's daughter Bristol accidentally divulged on live television that her mother has undergone at least 15 abortions over the past 30 years. "She's always telling me how special I am, especially considering the five or six babies she aborted before I was born," Palin, 20, said during a CNN interview in which she was asked if she thought her mother would make a good president. "Then of course there were the twins she aborted shortly after having me, another four abortions after Willow somehow survived hersbut anyway, she's a wonderful mom. She just gets pregnant a lot and doesn't always want to have the baby." Palin also commended her mother's strength in carrying three babies with Down syndrome to term, and then even choosing not to give Trig up for adoption like the others.

The following headline will help him remember some of his sordid, pot-clouded high school past! }...
FLASHBACK: Obama's Sordid High School Past...
By Ben Shapiro ‘While the Washington Post has been diligently digging into relatively innocent high school pranks by Mitt Romney, they’ve spent the last few years diligently ignoring President Obama’s far more controversial high school days.Obama, by all accounts, was a habitual drug user in high school. He tried cocaine, he admits in Dreams From My Father; he “tried drugs enthusiastically.” The Chicago Tribune reported back in 2007 that Obama thanked the “Choom Gang” in his high school yearbook; “chooming” was Hawaiian slang for smoking pot. The Honolulu Advertiser reported that Obama’s senior portrait “prominently displayed … A package of ‘Zig-Zag’ rolling papers and a matchbook.” One of Obama’s close friends was arrested for drug possession during high school.In his memoir, Obama talked about routinely getting high. “Junkie. Pothead,” he wrote. “That’s where I’d been headed: the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man.” But, according to Obama, he only got high because he was contemplating deep matters: drugs could “push questions of who I was out of my mind.” Obama told students in 2007 that this activity constituted “goofing off” and “wasting time”:"I will confess to you that I was kind of a goof off in high school as my mom reminded me," Obama said. "I went to high school in Hawaii, so there's a lot of opportunity to goof off because the weather is really good all the time …"You know, I made some bad decisions …. You know, got into drinking and experimenting with drugs. There was a whole stretch of time where I didn't apply myself. It wasn't until I got out of … high school, and went to college that I started realizing, man, I wasted a lot of time.”The New York Times, however, went out of its way to find Obama’s classmates to testify that drugs played only a “bit part” in Obama’s youth. Yet Obama would later brag on the campaign trail that he “inhaled frequently … that was the point.”During his high school years, Obama hung out with communist radical Frank Marshall Davis; in 2007, the Los Angeles Times reported that during his high school days, “he felt the first stirrings of anger toward whites. He says he also delved into black nationalism.” He was “offended or even enraged when white classmates adopted black street slang or revealed their underlying consciousness of his race by going out of their way to tell him how much they admired a black musician or athlete.” This activity is certainly more reflective of Obama’s ideological history than Mitt Romney’s pranks on teachers and fellow students. And as for the drug use – well, that seems just a bit more serious than walking a teacher into a door or cutting a student’s hair. But leave it to the Post to ignore or downplay all of that in favor of continuing stories about Romney’s dog, his high school hijinks, and whatever other nonsense they can use to protect President Obama from his own incompetence.’ Ben Shapiro is Breitbart News Editor-at-Large.  Follow him on twitter @benshapiro.

http://albertpeia.com/obamashovesgirl.png No doubt that after expending all that energy bullying an innocent little girl, young Obama readied himself for round two by eating a Golden Retriever.

EVOLUTION: OBAMA NOW BACKS GAY MARRIAGE…       [ Well, with some frolicking documented cocaine/gay sex romping in his past, he’d be hard pressed not to. Interestingly, Clit Eastwood has come out in favor of gay marriage saying he doesn’t give a f**k… good for you Clit; spoken like a true egalitarian. Truth be told, I always liked those spagetti westerns that put him on the map; his own ‘Pale Rider’, particularly; and of course, the ‘Dirty Harry’ series. Aside from that, I find him/his films boring, shallow, and plebian beyond tears; hardly the philosopher king. Yet, I also don’t give a f**k regarding gays living their lives as they wish, with full constitutional protections consistent with their presumed law-abiding lives, particularly in a world like this, such as it is. But, that doesn’t mean the ‘state’ must get behind (no pun intended) same. There are few if any legal statuses that can’t be achieved through legal document, ie., adoptions, trust beneficiaries, etc.. Marriage, procreation, the province of a man/woman relationship has always been a given. Also interesting was the take on same by reknown Psychiatrist Maslow (his famed, laudable work regarding hierarchy of needs, etc., needs no introduction) who wrote and posited that homosexuality was physically, anatomically contraindicated. Again, let me reiterate a live, let live position while cautioning against the state getting behind (again, no pun) same and potentially giving young, pubescent, impressionable boys the idea that penises were made for male a**holes and not female vaginas. ] ...  OBAMA ADMITS FABRICATING GIRLFRIEND IN MEMOIR { Latent gay man obama -  ...   Barack Obama: The Naked Emperor Shocking but true revelations from David Icke| ..Obama is just more of the same, a big smile with strings attached, and controlled completely by those that chose him, trained him, sold him and provided his record funding, kept his many skeletons under wraps, like the gay sex and crack cocaine .. Larry Sinclair (from affidavit: 1. Who is Ron Allen that claims to be with your Presidential camp, who is alleged to claim that someone claiming to represent me called asking for $100,000, to keep me from coming forward about our (Obama and I) November 1999 encounter of sex and cocaine use?), ... Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself .., and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. ] http://albertpeia.com/obamadeceptionhighqualityversion.flv   }

Why Is It Necessary For The Federal Government To Turn The United States Into A Prison Camp?

http://albertpeia.com/usprisoncamp.htm

{ I really must say that this is a tough one because the vast majority of americans are inherently criminal, with the highest crime rates in the world among the so-called ‘civilized’ nations (you can’t count the niggers of sub-saharan africa as civilized, and there’s no question but that the niggers have disproportionately skewed the american crime rates, particularly violent crimes, higher); including, from my direct observation and experience, that within all three branches of the u.s. government. Indeed, the (should be prison) inmates are running this asylum called america. The reality is that there are so many americans that are not in jail who should be in jail, it’s difficult to avoid these harsh third world measures in what has essentially become a third world nation overrun by the most sordid, despicable criminals one can imagine. They must really prosecute the biggest criminals including the oligarchs as, ie., the huge frauds on wall street, etc., and ‘bury’ the violent repeat offenders, etc., without exception. The problem with america is not the terrorist threat from without, but rather the plethora of inherently criminal americans within. Moreover, the corruption is pervasive and systemic. Unfortunately, crime pays in america and pays well; and, God help you if you try to live within the law and get in their way or potentially cost them money or some of their illegal business because no one else will. There’s criminal control at all levels of american society. That’s the problem; with the relatively few non-criminally inclined, criminal by complicity inasmuch as americans are for the most part gutless cowards who go along to get along along with a million other excuses, not the least of which is ‘the price was right’. That’s reality! That said, it’s the ‘for or agin’ me primitive mentality that pervades the u.s. government, ‘thought police’, arbitrary powers of detainment, abrogation of first admendment rights, internet intrusion/censorship, arbitrary enforcement of the law, etc., that is and I find particularly appalling, counter-productive, and regressive. There is an element of projection, given some of the evil things the government has done abroad; blowback being not entirely out of the realm of possibility which ultimately is the sad consequence of the worst of human nature which is invariably inclined to go too far in the worst way. The sad fact is that as with any banana republic, the governmental powers that be go to whatever nefarious lengths necessary (control by whatever means, at some level) to unreasonably maintain their access to undeserved power, money, resources, luxuries, etc.,  invariably to the detriment of the vast majority as is so here in america today. There are very few positive things that can be said of america today. I, for one, cannot think of any at all!   [  ‘america, love it or leave it’? Love it? Truth be told, I don’t even like america!  See, ie., http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm    http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm

“Bin Laden” Heroes Probably Murderered to Keep Them Quiet  ... Gordon Duff Veterans Today

FLASHBACK: Eyewitness to OBL Raid Saw Helicopter Explode (TRANSCRIPT) [ As indicated on this albertpeia.com website, I didn’t buy the administration’s desperate and politically opportunist Osama event and still don’t buy it; and further, I believe this! ]Veterans Today | TRANSCRIPT of critical interview with Pakistani eyewitness to Bin Laden raid. Is this the key to SEAL Team 6′s demise?

“Bin Laden” Heroes Probably Murderered to Keep Them Quiet  Gordon Duff  Veterans Today August 7, 2011 | Some Possibly Killed in Abbottabad Helicopter Crash Months Before. [ As indicated on this albertpeia.com website, I didn’t buy the administration’s desperate and politically opportunist Osama event and still don’t buy it; and further, I believe this! ] Today 31 NATO troops, 20 of them Navy Seals from the Osama bin Laden operation died in what is reported as a helicopter crash in Afghanistan.

The chance of this story being true is almost nil. The chances of this being a staged coverup is over 80%. We believe these people were murdered to silence them. This is why.

We have solid information on two areas:

1. Osama bin Laden died in 2001 as an active CIA employee and his body was recovered in Afghanistan and taken to the sand box. We were told it was frozen. We have so much verification from this, CIA, ISI, US military and top officials. I have a direct confirmation from Bin Ladens CIA handler who I grilled mercilessly on this.

2. The Abbottabad operation involved numerous American deaths, witnessed, bodies all over, a helicopter crash. (suppressed translated TV interview below) These bodies were recovered by land vehicle from Islamabad and there was NO successful bin Laden operation of any kind. There was and has been a CIA safe house in Abbotabad where terror suspects were stored for years.

This gave the US several areas of severe vulnerability. Generally, Navy Seals are the best people in the world at keeping their mouths shut, these are real team players, as the term Seal Team belies.

We at VT were informed that the bin Laden operation was staged at this time, a theatrical farce, to cover the exit of Secretary Gates, the move by former CIA Director Leon Panetta into the DOD as Secretary of Defense and to stem any heroic claims by new CIA Director Petraeus of killing the long dead Osama bin Laden, the long frozen CIA operative.

Petraeus is a possible presidential contender and had to be denied this gift from heaven, a fast track to the oval office for sure.

Again, I remind you, I went over specific meetings on bin Laden with his handlers, getting every last detail. I have watched what has gone on, the continuing need to vilify a long dead top CIA operative to provide residual cover for the Bush administration

The reason? Bush and his cronies are all facing charges of war crimes, not just in minor jurisdictions but heading for the ICC, putting them on the dock with Gaddafi ( a far less harmful character).

“Bin Laden” Heroes Probably Murderered to Keep Them Quiet  ... Gordon Duff Veterans Today

FLASHBACK: Eyewitness to OBL Raid Saw Helicopter Explode (TRANSCRIPT) [ As indicated on this albertpeia.com website, I didn’t buy the administration’s desperate and politically opportunist Osama event and still don’t buy it; and further, I believe this! ]Veterans Today | TRANSCRIPT of critical interview with Pakistani eyewitness to Bin Laden raid. Is this the key to SEAL Team 6′s demise?

“Bin Laden” Heroes Probably Murderered to Keep Them Quiet  Gordon Duff  Veterans Today August 7, 2011 | Some Possibly Killed in Abbottabad Helicopter Crash Months Before. [ As indicated on this albertpeia.com website, I didn’t buy the administration’s desperate and politically opportunist Osama event and still don’t buy it; and further, I believe this! ] Today 31 NATO troops, 20 of them Navy Seals from the Osama bin Laden operation died in what is reported as a helicopter crash in Afghanistan.

The chance of this story being true is almost nil. The chances of this being a staged coverup is over 80%. We believe these people were murdered to silence them. This is why.

We have solid information on two areas:

1. Osama bin Laden died in 2001 as an active CIA employee and his body was recovered in Afghanistan and taken to the sand box. We were told it was frozen. We have so much verification from this, CIA, ISI, US military and top officials. I have a direct confirmation from Bin Ladens CIA handler who I grilled mercilessly on this.

2. The Abbottabad operation involved numerous American deaths, witnessed, bodies all over, a helicopter crash. (suppressed translated TV interview below) These bodies were recovered by land vehicle from Islamabad and there was NO successful bin Laden operation of any kind. There was and has been a CIA safe house in Abbotabad where terror suspects were stored for years.

This gave the US several areas of severe vulnerability. Generally, Navy Seals are the best people in the world at keeping their mouths shut, these are real team players, as the term Seal Team belies.

We at VT were informed that the bin Laden operation was staged at this time, a theatrical farce, to cover the exit of Secretary Gates, the move by former CIA Director Leon Panetta into the DOD as Secretary of Defense and to stem any heroic claims by new CIA Director Petraeus of killing the long dead Osama bin Laden, the long frozen CIA operative.

Petraeus is a possible presidential contender and had to be denied this gift from heaven, a fast track to the oval office for sure.

Again, I remind you, I went over specific meetings on bin Laden with his handlers, getting every last detail. I have watched what has gone on, the continuing need to vilify a long dead top CIA operative to provide residual cover for the Bush administration

The reason? Bush and his cronies are all facing charges of war crimes, not just in minor jurisdictions but heading for the ICC, putting them on the dock with Gaddafi ( a far less harmful character).

SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ]

Suspended THREE times for drugs, truancy and graffiti and 'caught carrying a burglary tool': New picture emerges of Trayvon Martin (and did he attack a bus driver too?)

The teen was suspended from school three times

He was on suspension when he was shot in February, after officials caught him with a 'marijuana pipe' and a baggie with drug residue

Trayvon was kicked out of school in October for graffiti after he was allegedly caught with a 'burglary tool' and a bag full of women's jewelry

Officials also suspended him once for skipping school and tardiness

Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times in the months before he was shot dead by a neighborhood watchman, it emerged today.

The facts, revealed in a leaked report, paint a different picture of a teenager who frequently found himself in trouble with authorities.

It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that it is claimed belonged to the teen.

The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a 'burglary tool' - a flathead screwdriver - and 12 pieces of women's jewellery. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.

The other major crimes they do anyway. It’s their nature. You’ll never change the nigger … they evolved only to ‘a point’ and no further.  ] Fairgoers 'pulled out of cars'... 'They were just going after white people'...  Heightened security...  [ I refrained from using the ‘n word’ (or even blacks / negroes) in referring to the culprits in the following two incidents (those tender sensibilities) but I’m sure you’ve guessed that they were niggers and I include same here in light of the foregoing incident (and yes, the victims were white), which is typical. ‘.. while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a “park” - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA’s position with both felonies ( he went to prison – pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of ‘bystander effect’ / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal  / nigger after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal / nigger went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 niggers and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA. But, to be fair and balanced, the RICO litigation involves those uncivilized who consider themselves ‘whites’ http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf  (predominantly but not exclusively jews / romans-italians / mobsters / government slugs). ]

Miami Heat Players Don Hoodies...
'Dead or Alive' Poster Issued by New Black Panther Party... [ ‘Minority Report’ Division of Pre-Crime, Pre-Cogs say, ‘Dead or Alive – all niggers’ … whatever the outcome in the investigative process, the stark reality is that at least, unlike the niggers committing many more ‘black on white’ violent crimes,  Zimmerman (and this is no endorsement – I won’t be looking at this one incident all that closely) was at least trying to do a good thing made necessary by the ever increasing number of brutal crimes committed by the black thugs in neighborhoods across the nation; then there’s somalian pirates, etc.. People domestically and internationally are suffering from nigger-fatigue and are totally niggered out. Oh, yeah, there are some Hollywood types who feel good about themselves having niggers around and helping niggers to help them feel better than they really are, insecure as they are, by being better than at least someone beyond fantasy. Loony george clooney is one. Dreadfully boring and with that monotone, monotonous voice and not that bright, he’s not even able to fake it on screen as an action hero (ie., batman, what a horrific miscast) wimpy pussy in reality that he is; then there’s the ‘black (sean) penn’ who cried like a baby while incarcerated for a couple of days not that long ago. The atheist jolie, so fatherly troubled as she is, has let the equally mentally troubled pitt (she so nutty she makes him feel somewhat sane though still not too bright) and pendulum ‘backwoods bob’ be the closest she’s gotten to her black projects. Let them live anonomously (in disguise) with the niggers for some time for a real close look and then see what’s left of their predisposed love for the nigger. Then there’s the italian scallion, booby deniro; drug addled as his black wife high-tower, what a total embarrassment to Italians everywhere; even as he tried to ingratiate himself recently with niggers everywhere and particularly national embarrassment mammy michele with the embarrassing pro-nigger first lady remark..   [ Send the niggers back to sub-saharan Africa! ]

Can you imagine the number of blacks that would have to be retaliated against based upon the hushed reality of the prevalence of black on white crime? The blacks should be careful what they wish for in playing that game because the facts don’t break in their favor. ] ...

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

The reality is that blacks are an insoluble problem wherever they are.

Shooter of Florida teen not a racist, lawyer says...
SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ]

Niggers are a scourge on civilized society wherever they are. Just look around, worldwide, wherever they are, in concentrations particularly; it’s the same nigger story. That’s the way they are. That’s what they are. They are a blight on any neighborhood. They are a blight on any society and an insurmountable burden. They bring any society down. Some will argue, how ‘bout sports?, to which one may reply, ie., just because you go to horse races, doesn’t mean you want to live with horses, or, just because you have monkeys in zoos doesn’t mean you want to live with them, etc., much less cede control and affect over society to them.  ] '

Suspended THREE times for drugs, truancy and graffiti and 'caught carrying a burglary tool': New picture emerges of Trayvon Martin (and did he attack a bus driver too?)

The teen was suspended from school three times

He was on suspension when he was shot in February, after officials caught him with a 'marijuana pipe' and a baggie with drug residue

Trayvon was kicked out of school in October for graffiti after he was allegedly caught with a 'burglary tool' and a bag full of women's jewelry

Officials also suspended him once for skipping school and tardiness

Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times in the months before he was shot dead by a neighborhood watchman, it emerged today.

The facts, revealed in a leaked report, paint a different picture of a teenager who frequently found himself in trouble with authorities.

It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that it is claimed belonged to the teen.

The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a 'burglary tool' - a flathead screwdriver - and 12 pieces of women's jewellery. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.

The other major crimes they do anyway. It’s their nature. You’ll never change the nigger … they evolved only to ‘a point’ and no further.  ] Fairgoers 'pulled out of cars'... 'They were just going after white people'...  Heightened security...  [ I refrained from using the ‘n word’ (or even blacks / negroes) in referring to the culprits in the following two incidents (those tender sensibilities) but I’m sure you’ve guessed that they were niggers and I include same here in light of the foregoing incident (and yes, the victims were white), which is typical. ‘.. while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a “park” - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA’s position with both felonies ( he went to prison – pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of ‘bystander effect’ / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal  / nigger after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal / nigger went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 niggers and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA. But, to be fair and balanced, the RICO litigation involves those uncivilized who consider themselves ‘whites’ http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf  (predominantly but not exclusively jews / romans-italians / mobsters / government slugs). ]

200 Involved In Fights At Mall Of America After Rumors That Rappers Are There...

Miami Heat Players Don Hoodies...
'Dead or Alive' Poster Issued by New Black Panther Party... [ ‘Minority Report’ Division of Pre-Crime, Pre-Cogs say, ‘Dead or Alive – all niggers’ … whatever the outcome in the investigative process, the stark reality is that at least, unlike the niggers committing many more ‘black on white’ violent crimes,  Zimmerman (and this is no endorsement – I won’t be looking at this one incident all that closely) was at least trying to do a good thing made necessary by the ever increasing number of brutal crimes committed by the black thugs in neighborhoods across the nation; then there’s somalian pirates, etc.. People domestically and internationally are suffering from nigger-fatigue and are totally niggered out. Oh, yeah, there are some Hollywood types who feel good about themselves having niggers around and helping niggers to help them feel better than they really are, insecure as they are, by being better than at least someone beyond fantasy. Loony george clooney is one. Dreadfully boring and with that monotone, monotonous voice and not that bright, he’s not even able to fake it on screen as an action hero (ie., batman, what a horrific miscast) wimpy pussy in reality that he is; then there’s the ‘black (sean) penn’ who cried like a baby while incarcerated for a couple of days not that long ago. The atheist jolie, so fatherly troubled as she is, has let the equally mentally troubled pitt (she so nutty she makes him feel somewhat sane though still not too bright) and pendulum ‘backwoods bob’ be the closest she’s gotten to her black projects. Let them live anonomously (in disguise) with the niggers for some time for a real close look and then see what’s left of their predisposed love for the nigger. Then there’s the italian scallion, booby deniro; drug addled as his black wife high-tower, what a total embarrassment to Italians everywhere; even as he tried to ingratiate himself recently with niggers everywhere and particularly national embarrassment mammy michele with the embarrassing pro-nigger first lady remark..   [ Send the niggers back to sub-saharan Africa! ]

Obama: ‘If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.’ [ Yeah! He’d look just like any other nigger. And, don’t worry about the black vote, failed president wobama the b for b***s*** will get nearly if not all, 100% of the nigger vote! Drudgereport:  Farrakhan Threatens 'Retaliation'… [ Retaliation? Can you imagine the number of blacks that would have to be retaliated against based upon the hushed reality of the prevalence of black on white crime? The blacks should be careful what they wish for in playing that game because the facts don’t break in their favor. ] ...

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

The reality is that blacks are an insoluble problem wherever they are. That’s not going to ever change; not make-shift/make-work jobs; not programs; not anything tried or to be tried; hence, they must be treated as exactly that – problems – before a solution can be derived and fashioned. ] [ Send the niggers, including niggerbama back to sub-saharan africa! ]

No, he’s not moonlighting as an agent.Vice President Joe Biden last year earned $20,900 in rental income from the Secret Service, which is paying him to host agents on his property so they can protect him.Most high-profile people in need of protection pay people to keep them safe. Government officials are allowed to have taxpayers pick up the tab. Biden is unique in that he actually gets paid by his bodyguards for the right to protect him.Biden’s tax records list rental income of $20,900 from a “cottage” on is property, which is reportedly being leased by the Secret Service and paid for at a rate that could earn him even more money next year.Biden took deductions for mortgage interest and taxes that allowed him to report only $12,653 of the amount on his federal tax return.Of course, the Bidens badly need the money. They only had an adjusted gross income of $379,035 last year. This probably also explains why they gave less than 1.5 percent of their income to charity.Among the $5,540 in charitable donations were $1,000 to the UN World Food Program; $1,080 to the Northern Virginia Community College Alumni Scholarship Fund; $1,000 to the Diocese of Wilmington; Delaware; $360 to a breast health initiative launched by Dr. Jill Biden; and $50 to the Wounded Warrior Project.

SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ]

Suspended THREE times for drugs, truancy and graffiti and 'caught carrying a burglary tool': New picture emerges of Trayvon Martin (and did he attack a bus driver too?)

The teen was suspended from school three times

He was on suspension when he was shot in February, after officials caught him with a 'marijuana pipe' and a baggie with drug residue

Trayvon was kicked out of school in October for graffiti after he was allegedly caught with a 'burglary tool' and a bag full of women's jewelry

Officials also suspended him once for skipping school and tardiness

Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times in the months before he was shot dead by a neighborhood watchman, it emerged today.

The facts, revealed in a leaked report, paint a different picture of a teenager who frequently found himself in trouble with authorities.

It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that it is claimed belonged to the teen.

The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a 'burglary tool' - a flathead screwdriver - and 12 pieces of women's jewellery. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.

The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ]

Detroit Preacher: 'Isn't The Mood In This Nation That White People Are Better Than Black? [ That’s not the mood, that’s reality; the plain, raw, unvarnished truth! And, not just whites; viz., Asians, Hispanics, real American Indians,  etc., and most feral beasts except dogs are better than blacks who are at best their equals, though some dog owners/lovers may dispute that. Niggers are a scourge on civilized society wherever they are. Just look around, worldwide, wherever they are, in concentrations particularly; it’s the same nigger story. That’s the way they are. That’s what they are. They are a blight on any neighborhood. They are a blight on any society and an insurmountable burden. They bring any society down. Some will argue, how ‘bout sports?, to which one may reply, ie., just because you go to horse races, doesn’t mean you want to live with horses, or, just because you have monkeys in zoos doesn’t mean you want to live with them, etc., much less cede control and affect over society to them.  ] '

Suspended THREE times for drugs, truancy and graffiti and 'caught carrying a burglary tool': New picture emerges of Trayvon Martin (and did he attack a bus driver too?)

The teen was suspended from school three times

He was on suspension when he was shot in February, after officials caught him with a 'marijuana pipe' and a baggie with drug residue

Trayvon was kicked out of school in October for graffiti after he was allegedly caught with a 'burglary tool' and a bag full of women's jewelry

Officials also suspended him once for skipping school and tardiness

Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times in the months before he was shot dead by a neighborhood watchman, it emerged today.

The facts, revealed in a leaked report, paint a different picture of a teenager who frequently found himself in trouble with authorities.

It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that it is claimed belonged to the teen.

The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a 'burglary tool' - a flathead screwdriver - and 12 pieces of women's jewellery. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.

POLICE: Black teenagers light 13-year-old on fire; 'You get what you deserve, white boy'...
Typical n*****s! Come on! People are tired of making making up excuses for the blacks. It’s always the same story with them, no matter where. http://www.albertpeia.com/whitesvictimizedbyblacks.htm   Islamists kill dozens in Nigeria Christmas bombs [ Blacks’ black Christmas! Typical!  For ‘self-defeating / self-destructive’ ‘political correctness’ or otherwise, I believe the under-profiled black serial killer is also the consequence of their proclivity for and love of killing, random, wanton savagery for no reason other than for the sake of killing (as, ie., rabid dogs, which distinguishes them from and positions them below other feral beasts) and otherwise, and an historic predisposition toward canabalism. After all, the contra-indicated mainstream ‘politically correct’ view (tv and otherwise) calls for a white perp in terms of ‘profile’ which is of course, ridiculous. I believe the under-reporting is owing to multiple killings by blacks being classified as something other than ‘serial’; ie., gang, gang related, ‘typical’, etc.. Moreover, the anti-white bias of the black perps is also a reality that’s under-reported. Take a look at the following brutally uncivilized black on white violent rapes/murders: http://www.albertpeia.com/whitesvictimizedbyblacks.htm  Drudgereport: 'Mob' beatings at WI state fair... 'Hundreds of young black people beating white people'... [ Typical n*****s! Good thing there are food stamps; otherwise they’d be reverting to their inherent proclivity for canabalism (send them back to africa … even give them a lump sum for an irrevocable repatriation incentive … a huge cost-saving beyond the first year with substantial salutary effects for the nation, the economy, and the remaining civilized non-blacks). The other major crimes they do anyway. It’s their nature. You’ll never change the nigger … they evolved only to ‘a point’ and no further.  ] Fairgoers 'pulled out of cars'... 'They were just going after white people'...  Heightened security...  [ I refrained from using the ‘n word’ (or even blacks / negroes) in referring to the culprits in the following two incidents (those tender sensibilities) but I’m sure you’ve guessed that they were niggers and I include same here in light of the foregoing incident (and yes, the victims were white), which is typical. ‘.. while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a “park” - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA’s position with both felonies ( he went to prison – pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of ‘bystander effect’ / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal  / nigger after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal / nigger went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 niggers and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA. But, to be fair and balanced, the RICO litigation involves those uncivilized who consider themselves ‘whites’ http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf  (predominantly but not exclusively jews / romans-italians / mobsters / government slugs). ]

Miami Heat Players Don Hoodies...
'Dead or Alive' Poster Issued by New Black Panther Party... [ ‘Minority Report’ Division of Pre-Crime, Pre-Cogs say, ‘Dead or Alive – all niggers’ … whatever the outcome in the investigative process, the stark reality is that at least, unlike the niggers committing many more ‘black on white’ violent crimes,  Zimmerman (and this is no endorsement – I won’t be looking at this one incident all that closely) was at least trying to do a good thing made necessary by the ever increasing number of brutal crimes committed by the black thugs in neighborhoods across the nation; then there’s somalian pirates, etc.. People domestically and internationally are suffering from nigger-fatigue and are totally niggered out. Oh, yeah, there are some Hollywood types who feel good about themselves having niggers around and helping niggers to help them feel better than they really are, insecure as they are, by being better than at least someone beyond fantasy. Loony george clooney is one. Dreadfully boring and with that monotone, monotonous voice and not that bright, he’s not even able to fake it on screen as an action hero (ie., batman, what a horrific miscast) wimpy pussy in reality that he is; then there’s the ‘black (sean) penn’ who cried like a baby while incarcerated for a couple of days not that long ago. The atheist jolie, so fatherly troubled as she is, has let the equally mentally troubled pitt (she so nutty she makes him feel somewhat sane though still not too bright) and pendulum ‘backwoods bob’ be the closest she’s gotten to her black projects. Let them live anonomously (in disguise) with the niggers for some time for a real close look and then see what’s left of their predisposed love for the nigger. Then there’s the italian scallion, booby deniro; drug addled as his black wife high-tower, what a total embarrassment to Italians everywhere; even as he tried to ingratiate himself recently with niggers everywhere and particularly national embarrassment mammy michele with the embarrassing pro-nigger first lady remark..   [ Send the niggers back to sub-saharan Africa! ]

Can you imagine the number of blacks that would have to be retaliated against based upon the hushed reality of the prevalence of black on white crime? The blacks should be careful what they wish for in playing that game because the facts don’t break in their favor. ] ...

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

The reality is that blacks are an insoluble problem wherever they are.

Trayvon was kicked out of school in October for graffiti after he was allegedly caught with a 'burglary tool' and a bag full of women's jewelry

Officials also suspended him once for skipping school and tardiness

Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times in the months before he was shot dead by a neighborhood watchman, it emerged today.

The facts, revealed in a leaked report, paint a different picture of a teenager who frequently found himself in trouble with authorities.

It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that it is claimed belonged to the teen.

The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a 'burglary tool' - a flathead screwdriver - and 12 pieces of women's jewellery. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.

POLICE: Black teenagers light 13-year-old on fire; 'You get what you deserve, white boy'...
Typical n*****s! Come on! People are tired of making making up excuses for the blacks. It’s always the same story with them, no matter where. http://www.albertpeia.com/whitesvictimizedbyblacks.htm   Islamists kill dozens in Nigeria Christmas bombs [ Blacks’ black Christmas! Typical!  For ‘self-defeating / self-destructive’ ‘political correctness’ or otherwise, I believe the under-profiled black serial killer is also the consequence of their proclivity for and love of killing, random, wanton savagery for no reason other than for the sake of killing (as, ie., rabid dogs, which distinguishes them from and positions them below other feral beasts) and otherwise, and an historic predisposition toward canabalism. After all, the contra-indicated mainstream ‘politically correct’ view (tv and otherwise) calls for a white perp in terms of ‘profile’ which is of course, ridiculous. I believe the under-reporting is owing to multiple killings by blacks being classified as something other than ‘serial’; ie., gang, gang related, ‘typical’, etc.. Moreover, the anti-white bias of the black perps is also a reality that’s under-reported. Take a look at the following brutally uncivilized black on white violent rapes/murders: http://www.albertpeia.com/whitesvictimizedbyblacks.htm  Drudgereport: 'Mob' beatings at WI state fair... 'Hundreds of young black people beating white people'... [ Typical n*****s! Good thing there are food stamps; otherwise they’d be reverting to their inherent proclivity for canabalism (send them back to africa … even give them a lump sum for an irrevocable repatriation incentive … a huge cost-saving beyond the first year with substantial salutary effects for the nation, the economy, and the remaining civilized non-blacks). The other major crimes they do anyway. It’s their nature. You’ll never change the nigger … they evolved only to ‘a point’ and no further.  ] Fairgoers 'pulled out of cars'... 'They were just going after white people'...  Heightened security...  [ I refrained from using the ‘n word’ (or even blacks / negroes) in referring to the culprits in the following two incidents (those tender sensibilities) but I’m sure you’ve guessed that they were niggers and I include same here in light of the foregoing incident (and yes, the victims were white), which is typical. ‘.. while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a “park” - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA’s position with both felonies ( he went to prison – pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of ‘bystander effect’ / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal  / nigger after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal / nigger went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 niggers and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA. But, to be fair and balanced, the RICO litigation involves those uncivilized who consider themselves ‘whites’ http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf  (predominantly but not exclusively jews / romans-italians / mobsters / government slugs). ]

200 Involved In Fights At Mall Of America After Rumors That Rappers Are There...

Miami Heat Players Don Hoodies...
'Dead or Alive' Poster Issued by New Black Panther Party... [ ‘Minority Report’ Division of Pre-Crime, Pre-Cogs say, ‘Dead or Alive – all niggers’ … whatever the outcome in the investigative process, the stark reality is that at least, unlike the niggers committing many more ‘black on white’ violent crimes,  Zimmerman (and this is no endorsement – I won’t be looking at this one incident all that closely) was at least trying to do a good thing made necessary by the ever increasing number of brutal crimes committed by the black thugs in neighborhoods across the nation; then there’s somalian pirates, etc.. People domestically and internationally are suffering from nigger-fatigue and are totally niggered out. Oh, yeah, there are some Hollywood types who feel good about themselves having niggers around and helping niggers to help them feel better than they really are, insecure as they are, by being better than at least someone beyond fantasy. Loony george clooney is one. Dreadfully boring and with that monotone, monotonous voice and not that bright, he’s not even able to fake it on screen as an action hero (ie., batman, what a horrific miscast) wimpy pussy in reality that he is; then there’s the ‘black (sean) penn’ who cried like a baby while incarcerated for a couple of days not that long ago. The atheist jolie, so fatherly troubled as she is, has let the equally mentally troubled pitt (she so nutty she makes him feel somewhat sane though still not too bright) and pendulum ‘backwoods bob’ be the closest she’s gotten to her black projects. Let them live anonomously (in disguise) with the niggers for some time for a real close look and then see what’s left of their predisposed love for the nigger. Then there’s the italian scallion, booby deniro; drug addled as his black wife high-tower, what a total embarrassment to Italians everywhere; even as he tried to ingratiate himself recently with niggers everywhere and particularly national embarrassment mammy michele with the embarrassing pro-nigger first lady remark..   [ Send the niggers back to sub-saharan Africa! ]
'BLACK NIGGERS [ NOT WHITES BY NIGGERS THE IMPLICATION DESPITE FACTUAL DATA TO THE CONTRARY  ] ARE UNDER ATTACK [ SAYS NIGGER SHAKEDOWN ARTIST JACKSON] ' [ Hold on one cotton-pickin’ minute jesse, that’s not what the facts say
Obama: ‘If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.’ [ Yeah! He’d look just like any other nigger. And, don’t worry about the black vote, failed president wobama the b for b***s*** will get nearly if not all, 100% of the nigger vote! Drudgereport:  Farrakhan Threatens 'Retaliation'… [ Retaliation? Can you imagine the number of blacks that would have to be retaliated against based upon the hushed reality of the prevalence of black on white crime? The blacks should be careful what they wish for in playing that game because the facts don’t break in their favor. ] ...

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

The reality is that blacks are an insoluble problem wherever they are.

SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ]

The teen was suspended from school three times

He was on suspension when he was shot in February, after officials caught him with a 'marijuana pipe' and a baggie with drug residue

Trayvon was kicked out of school in October for graffiti after he was allegedly caught with a 'burglary tool' and a bag full of women's jewelry

It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that it is claimed belonged to the teen.

The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a 'burglary tool' - a flathead screwdriver - and 12 pieces of women's jewellery. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.

ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ]

'Dead or Alive' Poster Issued by New Black Panther Party... [ ‘Minority Report’ Division of Pre-Crime, Pre-Cogs say, ‘Dead or Alive – all niggers’ … whatever the outcome in the investigative process, the stark reality is that at least, unlike the niggers committing many more ‘black on white’ violent crimes,  Zimmerman (and this is no endorsement – I won’t be looking at this one incident all that closely) was at least trying to do a good thing made necessary by the ever increasing number of brutal crimes committed by the black thugs in neighborhoods across the nation; then there’s somalian pirates, etc.. People domestically and internationally are suffering from nigger-fatigue and are totally niggered out. Oh, yeah, there are some Hollywood types who feel good about themselves having niggers around and helping niggers to help them feel better than they really are, insecure as they are, by being better than at least someone beyond fantasy. Loony george clooney is one. Dreadfully boring and with that monotone, monotonous voice and not that bright, he’s not even able to fake it on screen as an action hero (ie., batman, what a horrific miscast) wimpy pussy in reality that he is; then there’s the ‘black (sean) penn’ who cried like a baby while incarcerated for a couple of days not that long ago. The atheist jolie, so fatherly troubled as she is, has let the equally mentally troubled pitt (she so nutty she makes him feel somewhat sane though still not too bright) and pendulum ‘backwoods bob’ be the closest she’s gotten to her black projects. Let them live anonomously (in disguise) with the niggers for some time for a real close look and then see what’s left of their predisposed love for the nigger. Then there’s the italian scallion, booby deniro; drug addled as his black wife high-tower, what a total embarrassment to Italians everywhere; even as he tried to ingratiate himself recently with niggers everywhere and particularly national embarrassment mammy michele with the embarrassing pro-nigger first lady remark..   [ Send the niggers back to sub-saharan Africa! ]

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

The reality is that blacks are an insoluble problem wherever they are. That’s not going to ever change; not make-shift/make-work jobs; not programs; not anything tried or to be tried; hence, they must be treated as exactly that – problems – before a solution can be derived and fashioned. ] [ Send the niggers, including niggerbama back to sub-saharan africa! ]

Marine sergeant faces discipline for FACEBOOK critique of Obama...
APNewsBreak: Marine critical of Obama faces charge [ This one caught my eye. While it is true that good soldiering requires absolute discipline by definition, oaths should be taken seriously, honored, and given effect. That said, burning Qurans was the product I assume of orders reflecting even more than just stupidity; hence, whoever gave the order should  pay the piper. If no order, and stupidity as with urinating on the bodies of the dead, can and should the actors be held accountable for such gross stupidity? Absolutely! However, one must be mindful of the reality that marines invariably have ‘skin in the game’ when it comes to consequences of commanders in chief incompetence, unlawful acts, poor judgment particularly as impacted by questionable mental states (arbitrarily taking the last three presidents as illustrative, viz., clinton, bush, obama certainly reflect this reality and concern coupled with the unnecessary murderous results of their actions). There has been a longstanding rebuke of the ‘just following orders’ defense accorded soldiers since particularly the nazi regime as an example. As such, Stein certainly should be lauded for saying what all soldiers should already know; namely, the unlawful detention of americans, among other constitutionally barred activities should not be among those orders they are willing to follow. The proscriptions of posse comitatus should also serve as a guide. This is particularly important given the fragile mental state of americans generally, and america’s leadership especially. No longer is it, if ever it was true that americans can be trusted to do the right thing. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Wobama is a desperate and incompetent failure as president whose invariable breach of campaign promises is a testament to his unsuitability for the office he currently occupies; and, one can only thank Stein for recognizing what could devolve into a much more serious and devastating scenario for the nation owing to wobama’s ever increasing political desperation. Broadly and generally, murky areas as this, even involving the military, should be resolved in favor of free speech, first amendment guarantees and against censorship.  Guest Post: The Ascendence Of Sociopaths In US GovernanceHow did we get here? An argument can be made that miscalculation, accident, inattention and the like are why things go bad. Those elements do have a role, but it is minor. Potential catastrophe across the board can't be the result of happenstance. When things go wrong on a grand scale, it's not just bad luck or inadvertence. It's because of serious character flaws in one or many – or even all – of the players. So is there a root cause of all the problems I've cited? If we can find it, it may tell us how we personally can best respond to the problems. In this article, I'm going to argue that the US government, in particular, is being overrun by the wrong kind of person. It's a trend that's been in motion for many years but has now reached a point of no return. In other words, a type of moral rot has become so prevalent that it's institutional in nature. There is not going to be, therefore, any serious change in the direction in which the US is headed until a genuine crisis topples the existing order. Until then, the trend will accelerate. The reason is that a certain class of people – sociopaths – are now fully in control of major American institutions. Their beliefs and attitudes are insinuated throughout the economic, political, intellectual and psychological/spiritual fabric of the US. ]

Typical n*****s! Come on! People are tired of making making up excuses for the blacks. It’s always the same story with them, no matter where. http://www.albertpeia.com/whitesvictimizedbyblacks.htm   Islamists kill dozens in Nigeria Christmas bombs [ Blacks’ black Christmas! Typical!  For ‘self-defeating / self-destructive’ ‘political correctness’ or otherwise, I believe the under-profiled black serial killer is also the consequence of their proclivity for and love of killing, random, wanton savagery for no reason other than for the sake of killing (as, ie., rabid dogs, which distinguishes them from and positions them below other feral beasts) and otherwise, and an historic predisposition toward canabalism. After all, the contra-indicated mainstream ‘politically correct’ view (tv and otherwise) calls for a white perp in terms of ‘profile’ which is of course, ridiculous. I believe the under-reporting is owing to multiple killings by blacks being classified as something other than ‘serial’; ie., gang, gang related, ‘typical’, etc.. Moreover, the anti-white bias of the black perps is also a reality that’s under-reported. Take a look at the following brutally uncivilized black on white violent rapes/murders: http://www.albertpeia.com/whitesvictimizedbyblacks.htm  Drudgereport: 'Mob' beatings at WI state fair... 'Hundreds of young black people beating white people'... [ Typical n*****s! Good thing there are food stamps; otherwise they’d be reverting to their inherent proclivity for canabalism (send them back to africa … even give them a lump sum for an irrevocable repatriation incentive … a huge cost-saving beyond the first year with substantial salutary effects for the nation, the economy, and the remaining civilized non-blacks). The other major crimes they do anyway. It’s their nature. You’ll never change the nigger … they evolved only to ‘a point’ and no further.  ] Fairgoers 'pulled out of cars'... 'They were just going after white people'...  Heightened security...  [ I refrained from using the ‘n word’ (or even blacks / negroes) in referring to the culprits in the following two incidents (those tender sensibilities) but I’m sure you’ve guessed that they were niggers and I include same here in light of the foregoing incident (and yes, the victims were white), which is typical. ‘.. while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a “park” - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA’s position with both felonies ( he went to prison – pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of ‘bystander effect’ / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal  / nigger after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal / nigger went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 niggers and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA. But, to be fair and balanced, the RICO litigation involves those uncivilized who consider themselves ‘whites’ http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf  (predominantly but not exclusively jews / romans-italians / mobsters / government slugs). ]

Obama: 'I Don't Bluff'[ Yeah … he doesn’t bluff, he just b***s***s profusely … What this nation and this world DON’T NEED is some mentally troubled mulatto negroe desperately trying to prove himself in an election year to be something other than what he’s already proven himself to be; viz., a complete and utter failure as president! ] ...

Ann Romney brushes back Bill Clinton (careful Ann … don’t stand too close to ‘bad boy billy’; he might try to lick your rear end or hump your leg, dog that he is; and, be sure not to bring up those then ‘presidential-qualifying’ illegal Mena, Arkansas cocaine drops which is a business he better understands.) ...

Judge Orders Illegal High School Valedictorian To Leave US … [ I have found Colombians to be very intelligent, civilized, decent and honorable people (despite attempts to paint them otherwise vis-ŕ-vis the illegal cocaine ops which are really primarily of american instigation and utility. The more likely reason for this absurd result is that she forgot to pay the expected judicial bribe, one way or person or another. That said, keep in mind america’s a far cry from what it used to be in terms of reasons to want to stay here. ) ...

Karen Santorum: Husband's surge 'is God's will'... [ Karen Santorum: Presidential run is 'God's will' (Washington Post) [ The place they call Heaven to Karen Santorum: News Flash – God has more important things and worlds to attend to … Further News Flash – Though not popular fare among rationalizers … Look around you, worldwide. Clearly, the world where the Christ was brutally crucified (it would happen again and again here) is certainly not God’s favorite, euphemistically speaking … Final News Flash – No, the Christ was not sent here by God to be brutally murdered / sacrificed like some animal in some pagan ritual for the sake of some primitive species evolved from initially notochords, primitive chordates, and relatively more recently primitive apes. Summary Conclusion: Decades at best, people don’t flatter yourselves; in earthly vernacular, God doesn’t give a flyingf*** about this, or any other election. Deceivers all (look at all the pervasive frauds, deceptions embraced by so many), do not deceive yourselves. http://albertpeia.com/anthroindex1.htm ]

Newt Gingrich promises to build a moon colony by 2020; make it a U.S. state  Wow! Absolute proof that the slimy newt’s not dealing with a full deck. Say anything? This takes the cake! The ‘idea man’? Sure, all he needs is Aladdin’s lamp and infinite capital! Oh yeah, reality nothwithstanding, nasa boondoggles sell well in Cape Canaveral, Florida (and Houston, Texas). Note, he couldn’t just ‘go to the moon for the first time’ (that fake video with the flag waving in the moon’s windy atmosphere yet another example as on fraudulent wall street of that pervasively addictive hopium) America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke. There are signs everywhere one looks…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion . How pathetic and desperate, that slimy newt! ]
NECK-FOR-NECK…[moon can wait, indeed; clearly a lucid moment for Romney, yet when asked about the 2-state solution, like a gumball machine he regurgitates the neocon/israeli line that the Palestinians want to eliminate israel when the truth is that the converse precedes and is truer; that is, that israel wants to eliminate palestinians and has with american fed military might acted accordingly…typical, total hogwash!]...

For ‘self-defeating / self-destructive’ ‘political correctness’ or otherwise, I believe the under-profiled black serial killer is also the consequence of their proclivity for and love of killing, random, wanton savagery for no reason other than for the sake of killing (as, ie., rabid dogs, which distinguishes them from and positions them below other feral beasts) and otherwise, and an historic predisposition toward canabalism. After all, the contra-indicated mainstream ‘politically correct’ view (tv and otherwise) calls for a white perp in terms of ‘profile’ which is of course, ridiculous. I believe the under-reporting is owing to multiple killings by blacks being classified as something other than ‘serial’; ie., gang, gang related, ‘typical’, etc.. Moreover, the anti-white bias of the black perps is also a reality that’s under-reported. Take a look at the following brutally uncivilized black on white violent rapes/murders:

Jews still try to segregate Israel buses...
By AMY TEIBEL [Yeah … they’re anti-women, anti-gentile, and … no surprise to me , they’re anti-semitic … you heard it … anti-semites … Arabs are semites! Could you imagine if such a thing happened to a jew or a black in america? You’d never here the end of it! ] JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israel's political leaders and chief rabbis on Sunday condemned persistent efforts by ultra-Orthodox Jewish men to shunt Israeli women to the back of public buses, a year after the country's Supreme Court outlawed the practice.The outcry came in reaction to an Israeli woman's experience of being asked to move to the back of a bus, which was  Facebook and became a cause celebre in the Israeli media on Sunday. The case even drew public comment from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who deplored gender segregation.Ultra-Orthodox Jews, who make up about 10 percent of Israel's population of 7.6 million, have become increasingly aggressive in their efforts to impose their norms in public spaces. The ultra-Orthodox have segregated bus lines and some walkways in their neighborhoods.In Jerusalem, billboards depicting women have become a rarity because ultra-Orthodox vandals rip them down. The issue also has seeped into the military, where religious soldiers walked out of a military event several months ago because women were singing - which extremely devout Jews believe is contrary to Jewish law.In the past, ultra-Orthodox Jews have confined their strict practices to their own neighborhoods, alongside occasional attempts to pass restrictive legislation banning sale of pork or opening shops on the Jewish Sabbath.Recently the extremist Jews have been trying to impose their norms outside their own enclaves, but the effects are scattered. Most of Israel's secular majority is not directly affected.The Supreme Court was forced to wade into the controversy last year, when it ruled on the segregated buses and sidewalks. Although activists say harassment on buses has diminished since the court ruling late last year, some fiercely devout are persisting with their efforts to block the mixing of the sexes in public.Tanya Rosenblit, a 28-year-old woman from the southern town of Ashdod, discovered this last Friday, when she boarded a bus to an Orthodox neighborhood in Jerusalem. Shortly after she sat down behind the driver, a man wearing the black garb and flowing sidelocks of the ultra-Orthodox boarded the bus and asked her to move. She refused, and the man then blocked the bus from driving, she told The Associated Press. She held her ground - even after a male police officer dispatched to the scene asked her if she was "willing to respect them and move to the back," she said….’

Indeed, post-Eisenhower, and certainly post-Kennedy-assassination / coup d’etat, NASA was all military / military industrial complex (moreover, someone knowledgeable about such matters said essentially that in explaining to my surprise the transition to the shuttle program it was said there was greater military application in same). In any event, Russia’s been doing quite a bit of ‘heavy lifting’ vis-ŕ-vis the space station, but not inordinately so. All I can say with certainty is that the universe beyond this solar system is forever protected / insulated. The fact is, they never set foot on the moon; and, in light of the pervasive corruption in and defacto bankruptcy of the nation, their perpetual wars toward making a hell on earth militate against anything but trying to do even just a little bit better (for a start), terrestrially.   NASA wants mission to bring Martian rocks to Earth (AP) Why?

Hi Al,
 
I know of you from my old wrestling coach, Ron Pollack.  I know that you wrestled at NYU, and that you won the Met Championships.  I am writing a book about my own experiences in wrestling, judo, and ju jitsu.  I wrestled in the Met championships in 1984 when they were held at NYU, and I remember seeing an old newspaper article they had on display that talked about you winning the Mets in '72 or '73.  You beat Pollack in the finals.  Pollack's coach was quoted in the article as saying that Ron "gassed out", I'm assuming from nerves.  I am really interested in the phenomenon of "choking" in a sports event due to being nervous.  I was wondering if you had any memories you could share about this particular match?  I know it was a long time ago, but if you do remember anything I would appreciate whatever you could share.
 
Regards,

Hello Ethan:

The mother of one of our team mates worked with Ron Pollack's dad who kept telling her how badly Ron Pollack was going to beat me (some others played him up saying he consistently beat his team mate stu pruzansky by substantial margins and other such things). In fact, he took an early lead with a take-down that he was quite good at and I was looking for (something between a firemans' carry and a barrel role)[1972]. However, by the end of the match, he was quite haggard, in tears, and I actually had to hold him up on the podium. My tougher match was the semi's where I met two-time defending Met Champion Ed Rufrano (he got a special trophy for scoring the most
team points over a period of time). He was quite strong and although I won, I had slipped a cervical disk (for which I ultimately needed traction - I couldn't even do a push-up after a couple of days which is very humbling when one relies so much on will-power). I had also beaten Ron in the finals of the Freshman Met Tournament. I was injured by the end of the season in the two prior intervening years (interestingly, the neurologist for the herniated disk pointed out that my bones were relatively small compared to my musculature/body-mass). I was fortunate to have a great coach in Roger Saunders (Roger and his brother Richard, a former CIA Agent/Mechanic, were both National Champions). I couldn't imagine Roger saying one of his wrestlers "gassed out", even if true. Ron certainly didn't "choke" in the first period, if at all.

Regards,


Al Peia

I really appreciate your insights about this.  I never got a chance to speak to Ron about his own college wrestling days.  I only knew him when I was in  high school, where he was coaching a bunch of local high school wrestlers on a part time basis.  He was also helping out at his alma mater
(?FDU) assisting a guy he used to refer to as "Metz" or "Metzy".  By then he was a fairly un-assuming guy and never even told me that he had taken a 2nd at the Mets when he was in college.  By the time I went off to NYU Ron had left town to go to chiropractic school, and I don't think we ever saw each other again.
 
I now remember what struck me so much about that article that was posted at NYU.  It was accompanied by a picture of three guys on the podium.  You were holding Ron up and he was crying.  It's really a classic picture, even more so because unless you know the "back" story you can only imagine what is going on in the wrestler's heads at the moment the shot was taken. I saw this picture once about 25 years ago and it still sticks in my head.  I was wondering if you could clarify:  I am assuming your coach was named Saunders.  He wasn't the one who spoke of gassing out.  Like I said above, I thought Ron was coached at FDU by a guy he used to refer to as "Metz".  It was either Ron's coach (whoever he might have been) or perhaps Ron himself that stated in the article that Ron had "gassed out".  I also remember now that there was some suggestion that he had come down with a flu, which might explain his reaching a state of exhaustion by the end of the match.  Or perhaps you just kicked his ass in in the last 2 periods.
 
Speaking of Stu Pruzanski,  I never met him , but I knew his brother Dave a bit.  Dave owned a gym in the early '80's and our Judo club used to work out there for a while.  This was another guy who never really told you much about himself.  I only found out years later that he once wrestled Gable to a tie.  He was also the only guy to ever win US 
National championships in Judo, wrestling, and Sombo, all in the same year.  (?1972).  Years later, maybe 1985 or so, he decided to make a comeback in Judo.  He cut a shit load of weight and ended up fighting me in the finals of a small regional tournament.  I beat him by decision, but really got no satisfaction out of beating a guy who was so out of shape.  Can't remember if this was before or after one of his kids committed suicide.

Roger Saunders was my coach at NYU and clearly, a great one at that, who subsequently went to Bloomsburg where he was ultimately Athletic Director on last info. Bob Metz had quite a few winning teams at FDU, but he was not Saunders whose brother's wrestling success I alluded to so as to emphasize his wrestling prowess as no fluke. The last I heard of Dave Pruzansky he was diving out of a window of his house to evade police who had busted his drug-dealing operation. As a wrestler he was no joke and you did well to beat him and are too modest. I included reference to pruzansky because they developed a very curious, bizarre, and almost gang-like mentality within their "wrestling click". Upon information, many (if not all) of their clique "amped up" on amphetamines before their matches. Very close to their clique was the very weird and corrupt ref spike israel. The very quiffy spike israel had a "little buddy" jim fiore and had recruited David and his little buddy (among others) to
Temple University to which he had some connection, and actually attempted to recruit me to same. I didn't take him seriously; firstly, because he told everyone he had been a state champ (bull s**t); secondly, because he had screwed me in a high school match wherein I had pinned leonard pruzanzky in the first period (I had him on his back almost the entire first period and israel gave me no back points, 2 or 3 for near fall, let alone the pin, and just the takedown and I lost by a point on riding time-leg ride). In an open tournament (I think Stroudsburg?), I was looking at the seedings/pairings/chart and David came up behind me pointed to my entry and said to the guy he was with that I had beaten his brother leonard. Roger required our team during one Christmas break to compete in my first and only free-style tournament. I was up two weight classes and David won quite handily. That was the third time I had beaten Ron and frankly, I did grind him into the mat and kick his ass for the late balance of the first period and the remainder of the match.

 

The following is a reply on facebook to someone who said I beat him in wrestle-off and

completes my wrestling story.

Good luck to you in all your endeavors.

Regards,

Al Peia

Howard:

Thank you for your gracious and overly humble comment. Over time, such things become less and less important and I can't say that I actually recall that, per se. As we both know, wrestling was never a pleasant undertaking and although I respect(ed) the sport, I made it a point never to set foot on a mat off season. You may also find it somewhat ironic that I actually had made the basketball team (Hubie Brown for whom I had high regard was varsity coach and Richie Szura the J.V. coach), which sport I enjoyed; and in a meeting arranged by Dan Deluca (I had won a tournament in junior high and the match against the rival Thomas Jefferson Junior High) with Coach Szura wherein Szura nicely but candidly told me that although I had made the team, "that I wasn't the tallest of angels" (which I thought was very funny and we all laughed) and essentially I'd be warming the bench while Deluca guaranteed me a varsity letter for wrestling the easy matches since varsity wrestler Richard Zocco was having difficulty making weight (he never made weight). As trite and cliched as it sounds, it was the varsity letter guarantee that sealed the deal (and in my mind, the prospective "help with the babes therefrom" - actually, it was only the pretty sophomores with whom it ultimately paid dividends so to speak - how very high school). I had a great Coach in Roger Saunders who recruited me to NYU (Roger and his brother Richard, a former CIA agent/mechanic, were both national champions). Wrestling has always been an important learning experience for me. Such a kind and humble remark as yours deserved a greater explanation.

Truly, thanks for all your info.  Interesting that you should mention Spike Israel.  I am assuming that the word "quiffy" is code for "gay".  Spike was coach at Tenafly High when I was in high school, and was known to "like boys".  Apparently he taught the Tenafly guys only one move, the Granby roll, which they were all quite good at, but very little else.  Besides Ron in the early '70's and Steve and Dave Yale in the later '70's Tenafly basically had no decent wrestlers during that period.  Not really sure if this was a coaching issue or recruiting issue.  Our high school (DMHS in Englewood) had former state champ Bob Hurley (Bergenfield) as our assistant coach and former state runner up Reggie Williams (Hackensack) as head coach, and we also fielded very few good wrestlers during those years.

REUTERS: Christie faces White House decision this week...
[ To be president of the now disunited states like no time since the civil war, one really must want to be president. Governing new jersey is probably the easiest political position in the world inasmuch as the same is totally controlled. New york is a close second to jersey in those terms, complicated only by the arrival, politically like never before, of the wall street frauds (the fraudulent goldman era, beginning more serious than ever politicking with rubin, paulson, etc., probably owing to their far larger frauds for which they needed protection in the form of political muscle which they got.). The gangs of jersey, new york have a history thats endured in terms of impact longer than the political parties themselves; proximity to and control of the local vote multiplied many times by the controlled localities they serve. In jersey, you cant get elected without the mob; in some areas the mob controlling both parties. [ brendan byrne, who brought the final take-over / scourge / quid pro quo, viz., the casinos, james florio, mario cuomo (progeny andy cuomo), etc., had publically known mob ties. Less conspicuous would be the likes of old money play-along tom kean, whose desperation to breathe life into the moribund political career of his son is evident to all; including his cover-up report on the 911 incident which was probably the worst of its kind since that other non-jurist, politician / former governor of California warren report / cover-up of the coup detat / JFK assassination. Just who are these so-called conservatives holding back funding while urging jersey christies run for the gold. No I couldnt care less about his girth, the goodyear blimp / humpty dumpty jokes, etc.. Yet, one has to wonder why a prior decision, given even further consideration upon God knows whos self-interested prompting, is suddenly firm today yet malleable tomorrow. Forbes, (and hannity I suspect), of jersey himself (themselves) seems close to this yet one still must wonder what the deal is. More importantly, for jersey (n.y.) candidates, with whom. That wobama, as a black man realistically / potentially viewed as the ultimate outsider, would make promises that got him elected, yet renege on nearly all of same is a testament to how totally controlled these gutless politicians are and proving how such lack of courage spells not only their own unequivocal failure (wobama as bush failure 3, et als), but certainly for that of the nation as well ( Cases against Wall Street lag despite Holders vows to target financial fraud  WP | Obama has promised to hold Wall Street accountable for the meltdown.THE OBAMA DECEPTION http://albertpeia.com/obamadeceptionhighqualityversion.flv  ). Quite simply, there is really no good reason why a jersey politician should change his mind about something that should be at one with the person himself. After all, we all must at least assume jersey governor Christie is a man of reason who previously made an unequivocal, publically announced, widely covered decision for what must be assumed a good reason. ]

Buchanan: The view from Martha's Vineyard... ‘As he and his daughters bicycle around the summer playground of the Northeastern elite, Martha's Vineyard, President Obama is steadily bleeding away both the support of the nation and that of his most loyal constituency. Several times, his approval rating in Gallup's daily tracking poll has sunk to 39 percent, with disapproval reaching 54 percent. Support for his handling of the economy has dipped to the mid-20s. Only 11 percent of Americans, says Gallup, are satisfied with the way things are going. Unemployment remains at 9 percent, as it has for two years. The Dow has lately lost 2,000 points, or $3 trillion in wealth wiped out. All that money the Fed pumped out is now being reflected not only in the price of gold, silver and Swiss francs, but in rising consumer prices – inflation. One in five U.S. children is living in poverty…’

The other major crimes they do anyway. It’s their nature. You’ll never change the nigger … they evolved only to ‘a point’ and no further.  ]

[ I refrained from using the ‘n word’ (or even blacks / negroes) in referring to the culprits in the following two incidents (those tender sensibilities) but I’m sure you’ve guessed that they were niggers and I include same here in light of the foregoing incident (and yes, the victims were white), which is typical. ‘.. while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a “park” - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA’s position with both felonies ( he went to prison – pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of ‘bystander effect’ / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal  / nigger after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal / nigger went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 niggers and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA. But, to be fair and balanced, the RICO litigation involves those uncivilized who consider themselves ‘whites’ http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf  (predominantly but not exclusively jews / romans-italians / mobsters / government slugs). ]

THEY'RE HERE! [ Uh! That ‘nausea’ factor; though not nearly of the magnitude of america’s unctuous duo, ‘wobama the b’ (for b***s***) and michelle his belle (see infra). After all, the cloyingly cutesy couple from across the pond is hardly in a position to do damage as are the wobamas. Yet, one must ask: just what exactly are they? Mascots? Non-emmissary emissaries? Indeed, in this economy it’s quite embarrassing for members of the so-called commonwealth, struggling economically and otherwise, england/uk being no exception (royals wealth’ is ultimately the product of common expense) to be celebrating celebrity for the sake of nothing more than celebrity. Worse is the pathetic display here in the defacto bankrupt disunited states (uk not much better and in many ways worse) relative to their former colonial masters. Then there was that ostentatious marriage display so well publicized even as the uk’s (eu, u.s. et als) ‘rank and file’ are sacrificing and the respective nation states crumbling. Even so-called celebrities here shun such meaningless displays of themselves and at least serve a cinematic (art form) purpose. Truth be told, I bear them no ill will; but, I bear them no good will either. After all, quite simply, they are but a meaningless, extravagantly costly welfare couple that are simply irrelevant. How pathetic and embarrassing for their fans, followers, onlookers and their liege. And, though I’m biased (I think Grace Kelly to have been the most exquisite of creatures to have graced this earth – Alfred Hitchcock with an eye for such things thought so too and said as much), clearly Prince Albert of Monaco and his bride’s wedding was tastefully and not cloyingly about right. Now that’s real royalty via Grace Kelly; with a purpose; the management / leadership of a prime travel / gambling / entertainment / resort destination; viz., Monaco. ]

Moreover, it was reported that Diana had another ‘potential challenger in the oven’ at the time of her death and we all know how dicey such english affairs of state can be (ie., Henry VIII, Richard III, etc.). Then there’s the contempt of Diana for having brought the son of her bosom, Chas, down. Do I think she said flat out ‘kill Diana’. No … more of a ‘do what’s necessary’ to mi6 et als.
