Business Summary Links By Day

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. Late in the trading day rumors Moody’s would issue bank downgrades this evening and into Friday morning. Names mentioned for downgrade include Citigroup (C), Bank of America (BAC), JP Morgan (JPM), Goldman Sachs (GS) and Morgan Stanley (MS). For some banks this could mean margin calls especially for MS.In the eurozone, the Bundesbank rejected Italy’s Monti call for ECB bond purchases—Europe not “fixed”.On the earnings front, Micron (MU), Red Hat (RHT) and CarMax (KMX) all reported results that missed analysts’ expectations and those stocks fell sharply as did just about everything else. Commodity markets (DBC), (USO) & (JJC) for example continued their decline. The dollar (UUP) was higher on eurozone confusion and gold (GLD) fell sharply as investors scramble for cash to meet inevitable margin calls.Volume was higher by recent averages on the large sell-off which is quite common for days like this. Breadth per the WSJ was quite negative and short-term overbought conditions (noted here yesterday) have been wiped-out…’ , Moody's downgrades 15 major global banks , Germany Could Pull Out of the Euro Before Spain is Even “Saved” June 21, 2012 By gpc1981 http://albertpeia.com/germanypullout.htm , Data Mining: Big Corporations Are Gathering Every Shred Of Information About You That They Can And Selling It For Profit http://albertpeia.com/datamining.htm , 120 Powerful Pieces Of Advice For Preppers http://albertpeia.com/adviceforpreppers.htm , 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 1^st) 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. , Was BlackRock's Permabull Bob Doll Fired For Stealing Financial Models? Two weeks ago, when we remarked with great satisfaction that Wall Street's original pentagram of bull had now been cut to three, with the departure of BlackRock's hypermabull Bob Doll, we had one lingering question: why would a strategist, and not a trader, leave Wall Street in the "prime" of his CNBC prime-time years? After all, it is not like Doll ever was right, or was judged by the quality of his predictions - if that was the case he would have been fired years ago. Basically, there was a big question mark surrounding this departure. Today, we may have gotten our answer: as Reuters reports, it appears Doll may have been dipping into the wrong model. Financial model that is. , Here We Go: Moody's Downgrade Is Out - Morgan Stanley Cut Only 2 Notches, To Face $6.8 Billion In Collateral Calls , Taibbi Is Back With The Scam Wall Street Learned From the Mafia , The Deer Is Back As Markets Go 'Reality-On' Today wasn't the worst plunge in the stock market so far this year... It was the second-worst by a whisper. And just like that we are one third of the way down to Goldman's target. But everything is priced in? It seems that between the realization that global growth may actually be slowing (between China PMI and this morning's Philly Fed) and the recognition that there is no-QE-without-a-crash, markets began to lose steam early on this morning (led by energy names crushed by the biggest two-day drop in oil in over 9 months). Then Goldman's timely note to short the market if you want Bernanke to act (and the rumors of pending global bank downgrades) sent us over the edge as the S&P lost its upchannel and plunged (down over 40pts from its highs of Tuesday). The Dow is following a very worrisome pattern (echoing last year far too well) as it lost the second most points in the year. Gold (and the rest of the commodity complex - led by WTI -7% this week) fell notably as the USD surged to up almost 1% on the week. Gold's and USD's moves suggested further pain for the S&P as Treasuries stabilized at notably better levels and did not plunge on the day (though much of this is equities playing catch up to a longer-term dislocation). VIX jumped over 3 vols back over 20% (as perhaps the jump in implied correlation we highlighted was on to something). AUD (as we suggested) was crushed as risk-on trades drive carry-off and the China trade dumped it by the most in a day since November (almost back to parity). Heavy volume and a big pick up in average trade size suggest this has more to run as broke back under the 50DMA and back inside the down-channel for the S&P. , “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.

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.

Yes, it was at this moment that the first shot in the War on Women was fired.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. More on this breaking story here.If you're wondering what the rules are regarding a candidate's past; how far back we're allowed to go in an attempt to define them -- the answer is simple: the corrupt media will let us know.
Washington Post Disgraces Itself By Targeting Romney's 'Anti-Gay' High School Pranks by Ben Shapiro { It is true! The once great now failed newspaper, the washington post, is an absolute disgrace! But a shadow of its former self, the post is biased presumably owing to shared desperation with the failed president wobama in return for access. So egregious had the bias become wherein ‘sensitive’ commentary antithetical to wobama and his, seldom seemed to work/post properly; and, then of course, the post’s pro-wobama perpetual darkness-induced blind ‘constituency’. I stopped posting there and have not visited their site since nor will I ever again.

Frauds interlink and grow upon each other. Our debt-based money system serves as the fraud foundation. In our debt-based money system, debt must grow in order to create money. Therefore, there is no way to pay off aggregate debt with available money. More money must be lent into the system to make the payments for old debts. This causes overall debt to expand as new money for actual people (vs. banks) always arrives at interest and compounds exponentially. This process is called financialization. Financialization: The process of making money from nothing in which debt (i.e. poverty, lack) is paradoxically considered an asset (i.e. wealth, gain). In current financialized economies “wealth expansion” comes from the parasitic taxation of productivity in the form of interest on fiat lending. This interest over time consumes a greater and greater share of resources, assets, labor, and livelihood until nothing is left., Guest Post: Money from Nothing - A Primer on Fake Wealth Creation and its Implications (Part 2) ZeroHedge.com 3-14-12 Only in a debt-based money system could debt be curiously cast as an asset. We’ve made “extend and pretend” a quaint phrase for a burgeoning market for financial lying and profiteering aimed toward preventing the collapse of a debt- (or lack-) based system that was already doomed by its initial design to collapse. , Guest Post: The Audacity of Bonuses At MF Global Durden 3-12-12 In 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.
