 We're Entering Another Economic Collapse... Right As Inflation Hits LIft Off!   21 Facts About America's Decaying Infrastructure That Will Blow Your Mind   http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com   http://albertpeia.com/21factsamericasdecayinginfrastructure.htm   ,   100 DAYS UNTIL LARGEST TAX HIKES IN HISTORY...  http://albertpeia.com/taxmaggedon.htm ,  Dumb money sees a rally, so gird for a dip  ,  Daves Daily:  http://etfdigest.com  QUAD WITCHING NONEVENT  9-21-12  Ive been taking a working vacationbetter said, working on catching some fish. But I note that since leaving on Tuesday not much has changed with markets. In the eurozone it seems authorities there wish to postpone serious decision making until after the U.S. election. Thats rather curious and let you draw your own conclusion. Oil markets have taken a beating on inventory issues. It seems the supposed fat-fingered trade or SPR release rumor werent correct. It may be some traders got some inside information on inventory data. Again, draw your own conclusionIn the meantime Fridays quad-witching was a pretty uneventful and volume was light. The dollar (UUP) remains weak overall and precious metals like gold (GLD) and silver (SLV) remained steady after some previous selling. Beyond Apple (AAPL) which as you know has become the market, not much has changed throughout the week. The leading sectors remain in real estate best expressed by Homebuilders (ITB). Bonds (TLT) continued to be steady.Volume remains quite light for quad-witching day although Thursdays volume was higher as traders began to rollover and unwind positions. Breadth per the WSJ was positive…’ ,  PIIGS In America: Is Illinois Preparing To Request A Federal Bailout?  ZeroHedge.com  Moments ago we saw the following amusing headline crossing the BBG:

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."

 

 

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?

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. ]

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! }

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.
