I buy and use it. Can not say that about the banks et al. And to this day in his presidency, Barack Obama talks and acts clueless as to that irrefutable fact. Although the socioeconomic divide between haves and have-nots is the norm in most nations of the world, how Americans view that condition is quite different from the rest.
Perhaps it has to do with past economic dominance of the US, still lingering in past glory and an unreal sense of nationalism, often promoted by politicians of the two brands as exceptionalism.

Hundreds of billions of potential tax dollars would disappear from the Treasury. And nobody appears to give a shit. What the hell is wrong with people? Have we all lost our minds? Gold needs to break out from here, or risk a correction back down to support. The reverse is the story for broad equities. Notice how the SP futures dropped right down to key support at , to mark it firmly.
While stocks remain above the level, Wall Street does not seriously believe that a budget impasse will prevail. If stocks break down below we could be in for a Nantucket sleigh ride on the world market. And below it might be time to head for the exits.
I thought all along that the teenage drama queens in Washington would take this into last minute sturm and drang to impress their constituents that they are major players with serious concerns and must be appreciated. The financiers like to create crises when they wish to get their way. It is always a mistake to give in, since it just encourages them for the future. As a reminder it is Comex option expiry this week. Posted by Jesse at 9: Whenever that money comes back to the U.
Think of it as a gigantic global IRA. Companies that put their profits in the offshore IRA can leave them there indefinitely with no tax consequence. Then, when they cash out, they pay the tax. Congress, shamefully, relented, and a tax holiday was declared. Now companies paid about 5 percent in taxes, instead of percent. Money streamed back into America. But the companies did not use the savings to create jobs.
Instead, they mostly just turned it into executive bonuses and ate the extra cash. Some of those companies promising waves of new hires have already committed to massive layoffs.

Well understand that unless the Fed wants to pull the plug and put us in depression this year I'm looking at overbought short term miners and gold. Can they get more overbought? Everyone points to on gold so I look for a fight in this area. We will certainly get an attempt to take gold down when the "deal" is announced. We have a different issue with the miners.

The FT reports http: Furthermore, recent tensions in the South China seas profiled previously here http: However, some excitement may yet be salvaged now that Boehner has just called for a news conference precisely on the closing bell at 4pm. We assume this will be to present details of his two-tiered plan, which we touched upon earlier, and which Fox News now provides some additional details on.
Suffice to say, if Obama were to accept the terms contained herein it would be complete embarrassment for the head executive, as Boehner is literally demanding everything, up to and including a balanced budget amendment, that Obama swore he would not cede. How can anyone take any of this seriously when they are talking about cutting 1. Doesn't that fact alone make this entire thing completely pointless?
Pakistan Breaks Away http: Fortifying Our Civilizational Heritage Itself being the 'Cradle of Indus Civilization', no other country in the world can boast of such assets, which determine the 'Geo-historical Blend' of the Pakistani nation and can rightly be called the 'Land of the Rainbow Civilization"; yet, these very civilizational assets have so carelessly been sacrificed for the geo-political expediencies of the past. Instead of getting closer to our immediate neighbours, we made friends and allies with the United States of America, a distant land, with whom we share no civilizational values.
And for this faulty decision, Pakistan has suffered immensely, during the last five decades. There is a strong realization now to 'correct the course' and create a more pragmatic geo-political environment of national security, most suited, to strengthen our civilizational linkages, with our immediate neighbours. Ignore the shifting strategic implications. Pakistan is a friend of the US. One of the biggest reasons the Anglo-American elite lost the war in Afghanistan is because the wealthy families that make up Pakistan's elite were distrustful of both NATO and the US military-industrial comlex.
In this article, excerpted above, we can see how the perception of Pakistan's interests are changing. Offenbar tauchte er kurz danach ab. Are you ready for this?

Quartal aus, tiefer als die Analysten im Durchschnitt erwartet haben. Eine Folge sind jetzt harte Einschnitte bei der Grossbank. I agree with quite a bit of it. I could be wrong, but I do not think that the Obama Administration has willfully passed up a few convenient ways to circumvent this debt ceiling impasse, two of which were relatively doable, and the last being a 'little more radical.
Invoking the 14th Amendment to nullify the debt ceiling would undoubtedly provoke a Constitutional challenge by the Republicans. It would go to the Supreme Court and would likely be overruled there after generating considerable uncertainty, given the current makeup of the court. The debt ceiling has been in place for a long time, since as I recall, and it would not be easily dispensed. I do think it is a bad law, and should be nullified, but by legislation, not by the judiciary and not in a crisis of this sort.
Selectively defaulting on Treasury debt being held by the Fed is also probably a non-starter because the ratings agencies have said that this would be considered a default, and would trigger a CDS event. Selectively defaulting even if the Fed agreed would be a far-reaching event. I did consider some action by the Fed to write off the debt on its own accord, but I don't see that happening as it would appear to be overtly partisan. This is more an artificial political fight than a genuine financial crisis. If you don't understand this, you are not understanding the ebb and flow of the drama.
As for the third alternative, slightly more complex, it involves the Mint creating a falsely valued asset, like a trillion dollar platinum coin, and selling it to the Fed at face value. The Constitutionality of this would also be challenged, as it would be a form of fraud and pure money printing.
I think it is much more awkward than having the Fed just buy more Treasury debt in the open market and send the interest back to Washington, ex expenses, which they already do. But that does not help with the debt ceiling. There is a possibility that Obama could resort to Executive Order after the deficit ceiling deadline passes, but that would be a very clumsy political maneuver. It will be interesting to see if the CDS are triggered, in which case the government may have to nationalise some of the banks.
Hardly a desirable outcome. So I don't see a viable solution in any of these three suggestions, and view them as being clever, without being practical. Just as political people rarely understand the finer points of economics, so the economists rarely understand the finer points of Washington politics. I hasten to add at this point that Yves is far more knowledgeable in the financial area than I am, and I have the utmost respect for her. She has knowledge and integrity, which are rare commodities to find in combination these days.
I do not want this to be viewed as a criticism in general, but it is an important point since some do believe in these alternatives, and they did seem to play into some of her later thinking. Yves has probably forgotten more about finance than I know, and her book is an absolute gem and a must read. I struggle with the question of Obama's motives, that he always wanted to cut entitlements. I don't agree with this based on what I have seen, although it is difficult to assess someone's motives. I think this theory is weakened because there really is not any 'easy way out' yet shown, and the House Republicans are hardly allies of Obama.
In fact, they have shown a determination to make this a political event, and to stretch it out if possible into the elections. I cannot imagine that he wants this, and if anything has been bending over backwards to try and avoid it. He is a compromiser, non-confrontational, and although one would like to think that there is a method to his madness, and there may well be, in fact we just don't know what his motives are. I suspected he was positioning the Republicans to take the blame, but the excesses and extortion are their own.
Like Clinton, he is trying to force them to eat the consequences of their actions. Hence the exaggerated gestures of compromise to look reasonable. He could be sincere, but since politicians rarely are I would not count on it. The Republican right and the financiers are indeed looking like extortionists, as they mention in this video, and setting up opportunities to threaten the operational integrity of the country in order to get their way, in support of ideas not accepted by the majority of the people. They can obstruct, they can use the threat of damage, but they cannot win by normal means because they are a minority.
But since they are an ideological minority they are willing to use methods not usually considered appropriate, and that are dangerous and potentially destructive. This debt ceiling 'crisis' is not an aberration but a recognizable modus operandi from the new Right's playbook, cutting taxes for the wealthy, and then declaring a financial crisis, and seeking to gut social and popular policies and laws and organizations which the monied interests oppose.
It is using crisis to circumvent the political process. This is being done at the state level in Wisconsin and New Jersey, for example. I was involved with politics on the periphery, and did some work in Washington years ago. I don't have any inside knowledge or insights anymore, but I like to think I am seasoned enough to figure out what is going on. And I don't think it is honorable or in the best interests of the country.
Perhaps this is why the market is not too happy and as of minutes ago, the USDJPY tumbled to new all time lows except for that illiquid print from March 17 of And to confirm that a perfect storm of sorts is on the horizon, adding to the increasing illiquidity in the US and Europe, is the news out of China that 7 day repo rates just surged by bps overnight, the most since July 5, to 6.

Woher kommen die beiden Neuen, was zeichnet sie aus? Von Stefan Kaiser mehr As for the reason for the change: I wonder how he feels about the burdens he put on people with his currency destruction? According to his biography Soros was taught Esperanto language by his father who was a lawyer and doctor. It is important to notice that according to some sources Tivandar Soros [alias Teodoro Schwartz alias Teo Melas search ] was a POW in Bolshevik Gulag in Siberia after the October Revolution as he probably somewhat participated in the opposition, but the sources are unclear about that.
Soros lived there until when he left the country as it was under the Soviet occupation and he, without money and at age of 16, ended up in London, U. According to claims Soros has made, he left his native Hungary because of the Soviet occupation. Simply said this must be explained to the American public because these facts are not possible to be true under any normal circumstances. Soros admits to trade currencies on black market but that was always punishable by death during the Nazi era in any occupied country.
Also what is important is the allegation that Soros family collaborated with the Hungarian Nazi regime during the WW2. Young George was able to leave the country, he was able to make it through countless Red Army check points, without a passport that would be valid, without a Soviet approved permit to leave the country, without money and without any outside help.
Soros was not only able to "pass through" these check points but he was able to cross the border to Austria, where the Red Army was also present at the time, and Soros was able to get through the Red Army check points in Austria and "defect" to the West all the way to London, U. His stay in the U. Soros, after a brief period of working in financial services in U. What an achievement again. Please keep reading, it only gets thicker and better.
I am simply stunned how these kind of details are not understood by the West as what they are - a communist deception organized and prepared 30 plus years in advance by Moscow. In his work Soros recollects about his Prague meeting with Calfa and says the following: It was meant to be a courtesy visit but it turned into a moving occasion. Calfa opened his heart. He said that the last three weeks had really shaken his view of the world. He had not realized how far out of touch his party was with reality.
He was deeply ashamed and determined to establish democracy in Czechoslovakia. We all agreed that it was imperative to have Vaclav Havel elected president by the present rubber-stamp parliament; to organize a plebiscite would delay matters and create uncertainties. Havel as president would consolidate the "gentle revolution. He sounded genuine and we were impressed. It was an unbelievable situation: There are several lies in this statement. Calfa was never a president but a Prime Minister, he changed positions after he was for some years the Deputy PM in the communist Czechoslovakia.
And while America has yet to even remotely sniff austerity, the unemployment rate is already set to spike, after the USPS just announced it was preparing to close 3, out of its 32, total post office sites. Postal Service is expected to announce a plan to close 3, post offices, mostly in small communities, in a cost-cutting measure, officials said. Does that mean we should outsource every aspect of the bloated centrally planned economy that America has become?

Of course the answer is yes, but that just does not jive with the current iteration of kleptofascist socialism. Of course the answer is yes, Yes, yes.

Judging by the networks' reaction even the general population is getting exhausted with this neverending soap.
So here, courtesy of Bloomberg All, are the summary points he touched on. Nothing notable except for his assumption that the plan has a chance of passing both the House and the Senate, and that the house may vote on his plan as soon as Wednesday. I can't believe that he's even in that position. He doesn't even have the basic and necessary horsepower and intellect for the job yet alone the ability to speak. Let someone else in the Republican party lead their cause. I think most Americans, if they can pull themselves from being blinded by the partisan weeds, can admit that there are some serious shit-for-brains in both parties.
I'm talking basic intelligence. But, to be fair, I interact with Germans every day also and the view of their own Berlin dipshits is equally nasty. As of a few minutes ago, with an increasing average block size, the ES has just slid to fresh lows after levitating almost in the green earlier. Oddly enough the sell off in stocks is not being replicated anywhere else, as both the DXY, the 10 Year and Crude are all at levels last seen at the start of the sell off. Are stocks, with just 2 days to go until Thursday, finally starting to get tired of pretending that all is well with America?
And while the dump accelerates we are awaiting the inevitable headline from Boehner in which he will make it all too clear that he refuses to compromise with a president who has threatened a preemptive veto on his "debt ceiling" plan. The soap opera is once again up front and center. He also added that US asset managers are unlikely to sell Treasurys on a downgrade, but that's irrelevant. Nobody can predict what all the knock off events from a US downgrade would be, as the Citi presentation from yesterday indicated.
Should there be a downgrade, investors may not sell Treasurys, but they sure will be forced to sell other lower rated instruments to keep the overall rating distribution of their portfolio in line with mandated rating requirements. Which in turn, following margin calls, will result in, you guessed it, selling of Treasurys.
Yet this debate is the topic of another post.

Well, that's a currency and class war for you. Printing money in low growth environments creates asset bubbles and a top down wealth effect for the upper crust. It also facilitates speculation and fuels soft frauds. The US economy is a broken machine, burdened by an oversized financial sector and policy failures abounding in taxation, trade, and regulation. Unfortunately the governance failures have their roots in crony capitalism and a variety of white collar crimes, disinformation campaigns, and public ignorance, so they are going to be difficult to surmount. The recurrence of evil, whether it be in physical or economic privation, never fails to surprise one with its lack of originality, if not its sheer banality.
It is rarely elegant or complex, but merely dull and ignorant, a brutish force, self-centered, animalistic, and cruel. Beneath the surface the madness lurks, in dark places and hardened hearts, awaiting its hour to rise once again. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must repeat these until the lowest member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogans The law of selection justifies this incessant struggle, by allowing the survival of the fittest.
Christianity is a rebellion against natural law, a protest against nature. Taken to its logical extreme, Christianity would mean the systematic cultivation of the human failure. Yet surprisingly enough, as the National Review Online presents, even without actually having any plan, Obama is still happy to announce he will veto Boehner's plan. It is one thing to veto one plan over another, if one believe the "another" is better.

Income is of little use unless the principal is protected. And yet it is also good to remember that Japan lost its AAA rating in , and its bonds continued on as rates fell. Is the US going to go the way of Japan? There are some very important differences, and after all, it is largely a policy choice. Choose deflation and austerity but without the safety nets for the people, and within ten years your house will burn.
It should be pointed out that finding legitimate investments in some of these general categories is no simple trick. Personally I still like gold, and to a lesser extent silver, for a relatively safe portfolio of my own. At some point mining stocks with low debt and high dividends may be among the best investments.
But I also like portfolio theory in its diversification feature. Never bet the ranch on any one thing unless you are uniquely positioned in terms of knowledge. A more general theme that is not mentioned, but might be implied, is self-sufficiency, to the extent that such a thing is possible in our interconnected world. No man is an island, or can they be. Peter Warburton's financial disaster investment portfolio. First, it would be in fixed physical supply. Second, it would be resistant to weather-related influences. Third, its ownership would be diffuse, rendering futile any attempt to restrict supply through a non-competitive structure.
Fourth, it must be freely tradable. Fifth, there would be no futures or options markets attached to it. Finally, I list some of the candidates, in no particular order. Each seems promising, yet none of them seems to me to satisfy fully all five of the requirements above. I should add that I think that "Antiques, fine art, stamps and [collectible] coins" are rather awful investments in most times of distress. They do perform well in times of rising inflation without systemic disruption, but can be remarkably illiquid, and are probably the domain for the specialist collector for whom investment is a secondary concern.
Like most investments that can offer some examples with spectacular gains, the risks are commensurately high and heavily weighted to non-insiders. Bullion makes more sense than collectible coins for a disaster hedge. If one reads Adam Fergusson's book, When Money Dies, you can see that in the Weimar experience, people traded their antique furniture for turnips.
I like liquidity, portability, and wide acceptance. Gold and silver may become the ultimate hedge if their ownership becomes more widespread and therefore more freely traded hand to hand, and they do not become official money standards, with prices and ownership terms set firmly by government. The same principles on this chart still apply. I am sitting largely in cash now this morning for the short term.
I wanted to distance myself from the market, and provide an opportunity to think more about the current situation. Taking profits seemed like the right thing to do. If you give people blanks, they sometimes fill them in as they will. And so I was reflecting on some email exchanges of the past several weeks. I do not have a comments section here, because I do not have the time or energy to moderate it.
I did that once for a friend and it put me off it forever. But I do have an active email and take comments on it all day long. I moderate the frivilous and ugly with a spam filter lately and it seems to be working well. Why do I put forward these thoughts? Why don't I charge for it, or take ads? Why don't I do interviews and speak at rallies, and direct a group of followers to promote messages in comments and 'pile on' to those who do not agree with us? As I recently answered to a fellow blogger, because I do not need the money. So why bind myself to some agenda, even if a little, by taking it?
I give out of the excess and abundance given to me. Yes, there are definite sacrifices and self-limitations, and they extend to family. And that is sometimes a cause for unease. But the necessities are covered. Why do I witness to my beliefs, and alienate some worldly and influential people, and even believers with different viewpoints and prejudices, and incur the consequences of diminished opportunity?
It limits the acceptability of my message in many sites and areas. You might be surprised, but it does. And the ability to see the ugliness for which people can be capable is discouraging. But then there are the consolations that seem to come, as they are most needed, from the most unexpected sources, the kind word, the occasional graciousness of the spirit.

This is not some incidental thing, it is what I am, it defines me. I am not my own, to do as I will. I owe a triple allegiance to the truth and what is most human, the very pinnacle of existence, by creation, by redemption, and by continuation. If I do not do good when there is a price to be paid that is in reality very slight as these things go, how could I expect to pay the price when the stakes are high? What is it that I want?
I don't want anything. This is why I shun the spotlight. I want neither money nor followers, nor recognition or fame. I want to be a simple, honorable man. And that is work enough for anyone. What makes me think I can know the Truth? Why do I sound so much like a leftist lately?
I have a scientific mind, so I do not proceed from the assumption that I know the truth in this world, as truth is a never ending journey, a way of life that one never reaches until the very end of this world. So I start at the bottom and slowly, carefully, work up from there, taking things where they lead me, constantly reviewing the landscape, continuously learning, pursuing an ever-retreating horizon, with the occasional view from the peaks.
If I have any fear, if there is any recurrent theme in my energy and my prayer, it is not to mislead people and myself, even unintentionally. I not only do not seek to promote a point of view with the misuse of facts, I beat my own conclusions bloody, almost every day, looking for any weakness and misapprehension, constantly absorbing new data and ideas. I expose myself to a wide variety of thoughts and opinions, almost to exhaustion. Forecasting the future here is exceptionally difficult because there are so many exogenous, and yet outcome critical, variables.
There are powerful forces promoting certain ends for their own benefit, but there are other forces working against them. It is a conflict, and the fronts are not always easily seen through the fog of war.

But this is where I am, and must be. Going forward, one step at a time, in fear and trembling at my own weakness and insufficiency.
