Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com    ‘DRAGHI JAWBONES SHORT SQUEEZE  7-26-12

“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 ECB’s 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 wouldn’t 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 at…wait 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 we’re seeing reports of lowered third quarter results for the S&P 500 which is now expected to fall .1% from a year ago. It’s sounds like a modest amount but it does affect PE expansion negatively.China stated it wouldn’t 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 they’re 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 company’s 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 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. 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

The Attack On Chick-Fil-A Is An Attack On The Freedom Of Speech Of Every American

http://endoftheamericandream.com

 

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, 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   } 

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.

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.

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) 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 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...
