Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com MORNING
AFTER REALITY CHECK 12-13-12 It’s
alleged that “pro-tax the rich” promoter Warren
Buffett’s transaction with a
massive Berkshire (BRK/A) buyback was a conspiracy to help the seller with
estate taxes before the fiscal cliff. That’s
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 it’s
the “core” rate bulls and government wants you to watch. Nevertheless,
headline writers focused on the headline rate. Pimco’s Bill Gross discussed
the Fed’s 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 he’s
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 Bernanke’s
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…’

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.

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, America’s 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 California’s economy.

Remember
when Americans used to mock Russia (f/k/a the USSR) for being one big
Gulag prison colony? Those were the good days. One thing is sure: they no
longer "hate us for our freedom." 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.

After
the success of the 'scariest

in CitiFX's view, to establish a 'starting point' for views on markets as we
head into 2013. From employment trends echoing the 1970s, one-last-low in
Treasury yields and '90s analogs, to EURUSD and its mid-'80s mirror, and the
ongoing trend higher in gold; there is something here to scare equity and bond
bulls and bears alike.

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...

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.

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..
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.

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

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…’

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,

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-à-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.
[ .. (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

First
Ohio; Next 'The Moon'? Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 11/08/2012 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…

precision today send robotics to ie., mars, etc.) and doctor so don’t be taken

money / budgetary consideration for their continued boondoggles. No man has
ever set foot on the moon to date. As NASA transitions, U.S.

thing. But I, and I’m sure all know that ‘u.s. politics are spaced’. Flux? One

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-à-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

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
