Dave’s 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 ECB’s challenge is to match talk with action. Getting the Germans to go along with Draghi’s 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%).China’s 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 you’re 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 Fed’s 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 Germany’s AAA Status Before Her Re-election   Let’s 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 wasn’t 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.

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.
