Wanna bet Yellen does not sate when we will have an interest rate increase? But dance around it ??
Doveish comments coming !!May 22, 2015. 01:02 PM | 1 Like |Link to Comment
Nothing will please me more than when Whirlybird Janet is forced to admit the Fed has been wrong all along. That said, when said "Yellen Reversal" inevitably occurs, it will likely usher in an unprecedented era of financial market instability and accelerated economic decline; and consequently, heightened social unrest, geopolitical instability, and a host of other nasty events (like a "Grexit" or Catalonia, Spain secession) that will make life far more difficult for not just the parties involved, but all of the planet's seven-plus billion denizens. This is why wise investors prepare for such worst-case scenarios beforehand; which in terms of financial assets, only physical Precious Metals have consistently proven their worth throughout history.
The Fed - as well as its Washington, Wall Street, and MSM minions - will continue to cheerlead until the bitter end, sitting atop the Titanic's bobbing stern shouting "recovery." As will the ECB, BOJ, and all the world's Central bankers, in their eternal quest to maintain a murderous status quo, in which the "1%" that own them gather all the world's wealth, at the expense of the "99%" that actually built it. However, like the Titanic, it is a mathematical certainty that history's largest fiat Ponzi scheme will go down; and like the Titanic after it hit that fateful iceberg, the countdown to its demise has not only started, but is in its final economic "hours."
All one has to do is search the daily headlines to realize how not three, four, or even five of the economic Titanic's air tight compartments are now full, but
all of them. Just look at China, which last night revealed several extremely scary data points - starting with not only its fourth consecutive quarter of foreign capital outflow, but it largest ever quarterly deficit. Throw in the official launch of the municipal debt "swap" program which is essentially a new form of QE, and you can see just how panicked the Chinese government is regarding the collapse of its historically unrivaled real estate, construction, and infrastructure bubble; which is probably why, taking a page from the Fed, it is attempting to bail out every zombified entity imaginable.
Not to mention, creating a new, "bigger and better" equity bubble; undoubtedly, directly monetizing stocks the way the Fed does covertly - and the Swiss National Bank and Bank of Japan
overtly. However, no matter what they do to defer
"Economic Mother Nature 's" wrathful vengeance, it's graphs like this - of steel prices hitting 12-year lows - or this and this - depicting the exploding gap between rising U.S. and European stock prices and plunging economic activity - that tells the real story of the horrifying direction the world is headed. Or, worse yet, the parabolic debt explosion that must eventually implode - perhaps, far sooner than most can imagine.
To that end, things are getting so bad, government attempts to fudge economic data have moved beyond laughable, to the point of transparency so blatant, even a reasonably intelligent child can see it. To wit, this morning's "better than expected" Japanese 1Q GDP growth - which, like America's, was entirely due to inventory building. In other words, no growth at all - but simply, the manufacturing of products that may or may not be sold; and either way, must be "unwound" via future GDP contractions. Perhaps this is why it was a mere four weeks ago - after the supposedly strong first quarter concluded, that a major Bank of Japan official not only said a "natural exit (from QE) is out of the question, as is unwinding," but "the thought of exit itself is a nightmare." Meanwhile, we're told that yesterday's U.S. housing starts surge (entirely due to a mysterious, aberrational surge in the Northeast) suggests the worst has passed - when in fact, overall housing starts remain below the trough level of each of the past five recessions! Not to mention, that with historically low mortgage rates on the rise, already weak mortgage application data is again rolling over (see this morning's 4% weekly decline). And this, in an environment of three-decade lows in home ownership, first home purchases, and even family formation - care of the imploding economy and massive debts that make it impossible for most of the nation's youth to get started. And if any chart demonstrates just how lop-sided the so-called "housing recovery" has been - i.e., exploding values of high-end "1%" homes, whilst all else flounder - it's this grotesque, unsustainable depiction of plunging home sales, but surging average prices.
Since the historic oil price crash commenced last Fall - you know, the one Whirlybird Janet deemed "transitory" six months ago; as well as a "net positive" for the economy, despite energy being the largest component of S&P 500 capital expenditure, and the only sector to boast positive job growth since the 2008 crisis - the global "commodity crash" has dramatically worsened. A brief dollar decline - and incessant "oil PPT" and "copper PPT" support - have temporarily taken the focus away from broad, global commodity price weakness (like the aforementioned steel collapse) that is destroying corporate profits the world round; and sadly, due to four decades of Central bank fostered "deformation," is destined to remain for years to come.
As you can see below, commodity prices remain barely above March's lows - which themselves, were roughly the same as the spike low amidst the 2008 financial crisis. This week's horrifying base metal decline, smashing prices by nearly 10% in a 36-hour period, appears likely to be a resumption of the catastrophic, terrifying commodity plunge that started the year; all the more ugly, as global stock markets - manipulated or not - are currently "ignoring" the hideous ramifications. And now that the dollar is surging anew - also, likely to have ended a modest countertrend move - the inflationary pressures on collapsing global currencies will exacerbate the aforementioned risks further. Not to mention, it will put heightened pressure on the Fed to step up the "final currency war" by easing policy further, to prevent the dollar from rising too steeply against currencies with Central banks dead-set on destroying their own fiat toilet paper.
Throw in the potentially catastrophic "tectonic market shifts" we have warned of the past two weeks - of the relentless rate rise occurring despite the aforementioned deflationary factors (which as we discussed yesterday, most likely involves Chinese Treasury selling) - and you can see how clearly, the "worst" has decidedly not passed. And by the way, for those fearful that such a "deflationary collapse" will hurt Precious Metals, bear in mind that whilst such commodity carnage was occurring earlier this year, gold and silver were the world's best performing asset classes. As they were as the 2008-09 financial crisis unfolded - particularly in the physical markets, where supply dried up and premiums surged. And as for yesterday's blatant Cartel smash, it naturally commenced just after the 10:00 AM EST close of the global physical markets - not to mention, after the entire 9% base metal crash had already occurred. Such attacks are inconsequential in the big picture, as they only serve to exaggerate the "supply response" that will pave the Cartel's demise. Of course, if you hold mining stocks assuming they will be "proxies" for PM price movements - despite the fact they haven't been for nearly a decade - you are putting your financial life into fate's hands. Nearly the entire junior sector has already been destroyed; and as for the majors, more than a handful of names appear dangerously close to death's door.
All that said, I'm "champing at the bit" awaiting this afternoon's publication of the FOMC's April 29th meeting "minutes." Long-time readers are well aware of my view they are doctored to account for current market conditions; and since that meeting, global economic data - notwithstanding a handful of aberrational and/or rigged data points - has utterly collapsed. The Fed's own "now-cast" projects the first quarter's miserable, likely to be downwardly revised +0.2% GDP growth to be followed by a mere +0.7% in the second quarter; and as noted above, the ECB has for all intents and purposes increased its QE program just two months after commencement, whilst the PBOC has initiated its own. Worse yet, interest rates and the dollar are surging - whilst commodities and currencies are plunging anew, all but necessitating the Fed to be more dovish. As if February's "most unequivocally dovish FOMC statement in memory" wasn't enough!
If any remaining cheerleaders, propagandists - or pardon my French - idiots, still believe the Fed may raise rates at its June 17th meeting, they will likely be forever silenced this afternoon. And shortly afterwards, the "September rate hike" believers - and thereafter, anyone that still believes a rate hike will ever occur. Clearly, the "worst" has far from passed - and in fact, is just getting started. By year-end, my sense is no one will even recognize the "good times" today's miserable global recession represents. And quite possibly, even the chief propagandists will give up believing in an institution that has wrought more economic damage than any in history.
With Central bank balance sheets loaded to the gills with toxic "assets" already, and most having
already taken interest rates to zero (or lower), not only will their credibility be destroyed, but their ability to respond to the next crisis - which, most likely, will be "the big one." that changes the world forever. Not that previous "responses" have achieved anything other than kicking the can a few years further, by dramatically worsening already unprecedented financial messes. Consequently, time is running out to protect yourself - as when "the worst" truly arrives, if you haven't protected yourself already, it will be too late.

Greece will be allowed to kick the can down the road, then Italy will ask for the same. Is it me or has investing changed over the last 25 years. Being able to print your way out of trouble, or buy your own bonds seems like a Ponzi scheme to me.
Ponzi schemes do end, and usually badly. when enough people figure it out. As of now i would bet 90% of America doesn't have a clue what is really going on.

June 5 will be 'moment of truth' for Greece !!!!!
Greece will not be able to make a €1.5B repayment to the IMF that falls due on June 5 if there is no deal with its international creditors by then, the government's parliamentary speaker said today.
"Now is the moment that negotiations are coming to a head. Now is the moment of truth, on June 5," Nikos Filis, from the ruling Syriza party, told Greek television.
Athens' ATG stock index -1.1%. Euro -0.4% to $1.1109.

We all know something will be worked out to kick the can down the road...Next will be Italy... Who cares about paying bills when you can print your way out ! It's getting pretty absurd.

I tend to agree with Cullen. After we played around and introduced QE'S the markets might never be the same again.
The FED surely hasn't figured out what to do. They have thrown the kitchen sink at the problem , but nothing has worked. My problem is are we seeing a new normal, or are we getting ready for a bad abnormal??
JPM stockpiling silver, JW pointing out Walmarts being converted to essentially holding cells, watching the police finally getting busted for what they are now being trained what to do to calm civil unrest.
Getting pretty scary out there, i am not fond of the unknown.. I hope i am wrong, but time will tell... As expected the smack down happened with the PM'S as they were climbing up a little too high for their liking.

Reactive NanoTechnologies, Inc. (RNT), developer and manufacturer of patented NanoFoil, which precisely controls the instantaneous release of heat energy for joining and reaction initiation applications, today announced the opening of its first European office. Located in Munich, Germany, the new office will provide onsite applications engineering, as well as localized sales and marketing support for its growing European customer base.
"NanoFoil represents a significant breakthrough in bonding for sputtering targets and other high performance applications and as a result, demand for our technology has increased dramatically among European markets," said John Hannafin, vice president of business development for RNT. "As a result, we felt the time was right to expand our services and capabilities to the European market with the opening of this office in Munich, Central Europe's technology hub."
The office, located at Adelheid Strae 32, officially opened in August of 2007 and is being led by RNT's newly appointed European Engineering Manager, Etienne Besnoin, Ph.D. Dr. Besnoin, a recognized expert in the numerical modeling of exothermic reactions for joining applications, has been with RNT since January 2004 and holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University.
Benefits: NanoFoil and NanoBond
NanoFoil and its use in NanoBonded targets is providing immediate benefits to thin film coatings, display, optics, semiconductor, aerospace, defense, automotive and other industries seeking superior deposited films. NanoBond produces a virtually void free solder bond with low residual stress, higher melting temperatures resulting in potential higher sputter powers and greater film deposition rates. RNT's patented NanoFoil enables reaction initiation for propellant ignition, flares and fuses, making such applications predictable, controllable and far more affordable. When activated by a small pulse of local energy from electrical, optical or thermal sources, the foil delivers localized heat in a fraction of a second.
About Reactive NanoTechnologies, Inc. (RNT)
Headquartered in Hunt Valley, Maryland, RNT was founded in 2001 by engineering veterans Timothy P. Weihs, Ph.D., who now serves as Chief Technical Officer, and Omar M. Knio, Ph.D., who is RNT's Senior Vice President. The company develops and manufactures NanoFoil to precisely control the instantaneous release of heat energy for reaction initiation and joining applications that current technology can not effectively or economically address. RNT has also developed its patented NanoBond joining process to ensure the benefits of NanoFoil are maximized.
Commercial distribution of NanoFoil for energetics and joining applications is taking place from RNT's onsite manufacturing facilities. The company is utilizing its financial backing from a variety of sources – including over $5 million in government grants from agencies such as the National Science Foundation – to further develop applications and processes, and craft its patented technology for additional markets. RNT has also signed licensing agreements with a number of Fortune 500 Companies. Its breakthrough technology has earned several prestigious awards including the 2005 "R&D 100" from R&D Magazine, the 2005 Nano 50™ from NASA Nanotech Briefs Magazine and recognition in The National Nanotechnology Initiative Strategic Plan in December 2004.

Saturday, 15 Feb 2014 10:18 AM
NAIROBI, Kenya — South Sudan and Uganda must investigate the use of banned cluster bombs in the recent fighting for the town of Bor, Human Rights Watch said Saturday.
United Nations experts found remnants of the bombs, including unexploded "bomblets", earlier this month close to Bor, a town that has changed hands four times in the latest fighting in South Sudan that started in mid-December.
The experts said they were found in an "area not known to be contaminated by remnants prior to mid-December 2013."
Cluster bombs, so called because they consists of clusters of scores or hundreds of submunitions or bomblets, are particularly deadly to civilian populations because many of the bomblets do not explode immediately on impact but lie hidden only to explode months or years after a conflict is over, often when handled by children.
"The young nation of South Sudan has enough problems without these horrific weapons, which kill and keep on killing long afterwards," said Steve Goose, arms division director at New-York-based HRW.
"The governments involved should quickly find out who is behind this and make clear they will be held responsible," added Goose.
Since mid-December Bor, the Jonglei State capital, and the area around it have changed hands several times in clashes between government forces, the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA), and opposition forces loyal to former vice president Riek Machar.
The Ugandan military has been supporting South Sudan's government forces, including with air power.
The remnants found by the U.N. experts were of cluster bombs of the RBK-250-275 type, manufactured in the former Soviet Union, dropped by aircraft or helicopters.
U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon has condemned the use of cluster bombs in South Sudan, but has not indicated who the U.N. believes was responsible.
South Sudanese and Ugandan forces possess the air power to deliver air-dropped cluster munitions, while the opposition forces "are not believed to possess the means necessary to deliver these bombs," HRW said.
South Sudan government forces use the Mi-17 Hip helicopter, which is capable of dropping cluster munitions. However, there were no reports or allegations of any use of cluster munitions by the SPLA in the past when it functioned as a rebel armed force, the group said.
South Sudan's defense minister Kuol Manyang Juuk has strongly denied that any cluster munitions have been used, telling the Citizen newspaper: "It is not true, cluster bombs have never been used in the fighting."
Uganda's top military officials likewise deny having used cluster bombs, or indeed any bombs in the South Sudan conflict. Their subordinates on the ground have however told media they did carry out bombing raids.
HRW said it has evidence that the type of cluster bomb found near Bor was used at some point during the years of fighting between the Ugandan military and the Lord's Resistance Army rebels.

'It's a great feeling': Marcus Johansson set to join Sweden's Olympic team in Sochi
Feb 9, 2014, 1:10 AM EDT
At the age of 23, Marcus Johansson is set to make his Olympic debut for Sweden, after being named an injury replacement for Henrik Sedin earlier in the week.
"It's a great feeling," Johansson, the Washington Capitals center, said Friday, as per CSN Washington. "It's a dream come true. Playing for your country is pretty awesome and I'm really excited."
His spot on the team comes after Henrik Sedin, the Vancouver Canucks captain who has been dealing with a rib injury, officially announced he was not going to Sochi. He's represented Sweden at two World Junior Championships, and has been with the Capitals now for four seasons, after he was taken 24th overall in 2009.
Johansson has seven goals and 36 points this season with the Capitals. Sweden begins the competition Wednesday against the Czech Republic.

VOID > We can barely find any definition that tries to describe architecture without dealing with the very concept of space. Yet, I believe there is no such a thing as space. Rather, space exists solely in our perception. We understand it by our very own means. Therefore, we must not attempt to search for words to define space; instead we must search for a way to feel it through different spatial experiments. Then, through this process we gain an awareness of space. It is the non-existence of space that elaborates our very perception of its existence and makes us aware of the surprising diversity of space. It is the concept of non-being instead of being, which creates a more dominant and powerful sense of being than being itself. This is how we perceive the music through the silence, we appreciate our beloved presence during their absent, and we understand space through voids, the emptiness. Yet, emptiness does not mean nothingness or characterless, considerably, it is capable to represent indefinite conditions, a setting that is ready to be filled with proper content in a potential future. Here comes the imagination, the inventiveness of a creative mind. A mind that does not perceive an empty space uninspiring or insignificant but recognizes it as an in-between state, a waiting condition. An empty setting or a well thought void possesses a chance to become a mise-en-scene by virtue of its receptive character. It is very difficult to sustain the purity, the virginity, and the innocence of emptiness, because easily, it is capable of being contaminated. The beauty comes from the constant temptation of invading the untouched territory. I believe that is why architecture is all about; how to treat the emptiness. It is to construct a perception, it is to create a void, to respect the space not to fill it up. _rzlbd. VOID, rzlbdPOST, Vol.02, Issue 02 (2010)
rzlbd is a boutique architectural practice based in toronto founded by architect Reza Aliabadi (OAA, MRAIC, ICEO); whose work extends to designing buildings & objects, curating instalations & expositions, and publishing a zine called rzlbdPOST. the practice is not just an ordinary operation that serves, rather like a positive virus, it contributes, communicates, challenges, and adapts itself to the need of project and its context.

Best Justified Impulse Buy (2010)
Art Conspiracy
The goal of Art Conspiracy is simple: to bring artists together to create, in 24 hours, art that can then be auctioned to folks who can't/don't generally buy art...while they enjoy live music. The proceeds may benefit a pre-selected charity, but in reality, the event draws so many creative people (and fans of creative people) that the entire art scene gets a boost. There's just one thing: That 24-hour art is how-you-say amazing. The auction scenes are animated thanks to talented auctioneers and can be, well, politely cut-throat if two folks are really gunning for the same piece. Prepare yourself ahead of time. Thaw the credit card or visit the ATM for a couple-three days. Practice your mantra: "It's OK. It's for charity. It's OK. I can write it off my taxes." Exercise your dominant arm, making sure you can raise it, wave a program or achieve a predetermined signal in a quick, smooth motion. Get there early and do a once-over of all the pieces. Now you're ready to bid Art Conspiracy.

Ive tried all that stuff before to do something about my bullies... but it didnt work! But whatever, i shook off all the bullies. I hate them! They bully me for no apparent reason and im sick of it!
by KatieBieber on 6/7/2012 6:20:23 PM
That is so sad that is what you have to do to be heard. When I was in school they told us that if we were being bullied, tell a teacher. Luckily for people in my class (including me) if we were being bullied it was minor things like being excluded from a group. If someone was being bullied someone would tell a teacher and they would just look at us and say "So what? What can I do about it?" It wasn't until I was in 4th grade teachers really started paying attention because a kid who lived in the same county as us killed himself.

Wow that just shows how people try to push things under the rug and pretend it never happened. I know what its like to be bullied personally speaking from experience sometimes even when you stand up for yourself you just get pushed down again. Though I hope what happened to sarah opened up people's eyes to what truly happens in schools

Well, I'm a really big anti-bully activist and so are my best friends and my favorite bands. But girls, be mindful that sometimes your actions can be misunderstood. I know from personal experience. Someone in my class was being picked on, so naturally I stood up. He turned around and got really mad at me. So just know that you can't stand up for everyone. Especially people who don't want to be stood up for.

The struggle of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Can Kazakhstan become a world power?
Tamila Varshalomidze | 29 Jan 2014 06:14 GMT | Politics, Europe, Russia, Ukraine
Kiev, Ukraine - A large crowd of grim-faced and well-organised people marched up the hill that leads to the parliament of Ukraine just as the start time of a special session nears.
These government supporters, numbered in the thousands, were divided in battalion-like manner and positioned themselves in the garden in front of the Rada (parliament) on Tuesday morning, January 28.
Inside, politicians voted for the abolition of some of the draconian anti-protest laws that had enflamed two-month long anti-government protests when they were passed on January 16. A law that threatened protesters with 15 years in jail was scrapped. But legislation against wearing helmets and masks stayed in force.
"There is no situation that is not possible to solve through negotiations," Oleh Kalashnikov, leader of the pro-government Combined Arms Union of Ukraine, shouted into a microphone from a stage.
First they said that we would move towards the EU, then they said no. They said they would not use force against peaceful protests, then they did. People lost trust in them.
- Ihor Ziyvski, an anti-government activist
"Our people won't let anyone talk with the words of ultimatum. Our mission today is to stop the people who want the coup."
Kalashnikov accused the opposition, who want President Viktor Yanukovich to step aside, of having brought the demonstrators to the city's Independence Square with lies and called on "extremists to stop destabilising the country".
Just a few minutes' walk away on the square itself, Dmitri Sidorinko, an anti-government activist, told Al Jazeera that those on his side of the political divide didn't want trouble either.
"Nobody wants bloodshed," he said. "It's neither in our interests, nor Berkut's (police)."
Sidorinko insisted Al Jazeera follow him to a basement of an occupied town hall so that he could show the conditions that opposition activists were living in. And, he said, all for the same thing: "To make Yanukovich resign."
Passing through rows of men sleeping on the floor in a few shabby rooms, Sidorinko offered chocolates from a Ukrainian brand - Roshen - that has been the subject to an embargo in Russia. Pro-EU activists seem to keep them handy to protest Yanukovich's rejection of a trade deal with Europe in November in favour of closer ties with Moscow.
'Until victory'
That move pushed huge waves of demonstrators onto the streets of Kiev. And similar protesters have since poured out onto the streets of several other Ukrainian cities.
"The government didn't leave another option for the people," Ihor Ziyvski, an anti-government activist told Al Jazeera.
"First they said that we would move towards the EU, then they said no. They said they would not use force against peaceful protests, then they did. People lost trust in them."
Alexandr Zinchenko, who identified himself as a "commandant of tent city", told Al Jazeera at the pro-government demonstration that the opposition was leading the country into a civil war.
"The (anti-government) protesters should go home and not bring their children up with the spirit of a radical by bringing them to the square. They must not bring them up to be fascists," he said.
The other major development on Tuesday was the resignation of Prime Minister Mykola Azarov and his entire cabinet. Azarov, it has been claimed, felt humiliated by the president this week when his post was offered to the leader of the opposition.
The news that he had stepped down was greeted with loud cheers on Independence Square, some protesters calling it "a small victory".
Others were more sceptical.
"Azarov's resignation doesn't mean much," Ziyvski said. "He resigned - that means the whole cabinet is dismissed, but the president still has the power to appoint all of the ministers single-handedly."
Sidorenko, who referred to him as "deputy thief" - a play on the fact that Azarov, read backwards and split in two, means exactly that in Ukrainian - said his resignation must be followed by the resignation of Yanukovich.
"In the last seven years, nothing has changed in our country for better. Look at them," Sidorenko said, gesturing at the protesters in Independence Square. "Do you think they would come out in the street if everything was all right?
"We will be here until the end, until victory. Everything should be decided within two to three days, or we will resort to decisive action. In principle, we are already prepared for it."

One stop shopping!
... the scenery is decidedly blue collar, with flat beaches and murky rivers pouring into the ocean. We find ourselves skipping places as we have a set amount of time and these places just aren't that breathtaking. We pick up the pace and continue to head south, to what we hope is something more appealing.
We're running out of light and know it. But a few more miles down the road the scenery changes rapidly and we're back ...
Avenue of the Giants
... 101 for the Avenue of the Giants, a 30-mile scenic alternate highway through Redwood forests. The road also cuts through several towns, each one trying to sway tourists with a special attraction. Besides stopping every 90 feet to peer up at the giant Redwoods, we stopped at the Living Chimney Tree - hollowed out by fire years ago, yet still growing - and walked inside to look up at the ...
Drive-Thru Trees?!
... It's a wavy street that goes downhill with super turns and twists all the way down. Lots of celebrities have been known to live there. Out of curiosity, we checked how much houses went for in Hollywood Hills, and I saw a few around 1-2 million. On Lombard Street, the houses were going for closer to 4 million! Houses with little parking and a huge tourist attraction. The view of the street from the bottom was beautiful; they keep it very maintained with ...
USA Road Trip - Arcata to Redwoods National Park
... up the highway to Klamath, the 'Trees of Mystery', a famous tourist attraction even the locals love. We were first greeted by a talking giant at the front gate, no he wasn't Nathan's height, he was much much taller! We then followed the walking track observing a whole variety of trees with amazing growth patterns. One tree presented the shape of an elephant. Another tree had a gap underneath Rach successfully managed to crawl ...
In tents
... Despite the above, I am now 584 miles in to my American adventure and have just crossed into the state of California. Highway 101 continues to be a rollercoaster road and a thrill to ride along. I just can't wait for the sunshine! Thank you's go out to the many fellow cyclists I keep seeing along the route, often at the same campsites, great company, music and campfire tales, to Abbey, Theresa, Will, Vick, Rachel and Wish, the ladies from Austria and of course ...
