JNUG printed 1.99 near the close–and closed at 2.0078–PM stocks are trading as if gold were 600-800

There are literally No safe havens today…not gold…not U.S. treasuries

Posted by Richard640 @ 15:43 on December 15, 2014  

the 10 yr t-note is DOWN 18 bps….even the utility stocks are down—all currencies are down save the spot/cash $ which is up a mere 74 bps…

http://futures.tradingcharts.com/marketquotes/DX.html

there is an eerie calm on CNBC & Fox Biz news…the entire world awaits the FED announcement at 2pm wednesday…how absurd that “it” has come to that…The FED will be hard pressed to get to hawkish-especially after today

I expect a strong reversal in gold after the FED announcement–and I will be watching gold futures from about the 1:50 pm time to see if there is any front running like there was 2 months ago..

Crash-O-Matic Finance

May not sound like much? I guess when you hunker down in the lab with the old slide rule and do the math, wow! Those numbers really pop!

This, of course, is the representative thinking out there. But then, these are the very same people who have carried pompoms and megaphones for “the shale revolution” the past couple of years. Being finance professionals they apparently failed to notice the financial side of the business, for instance the fact that so much of the day-to-day shale operation was being run on junk bond financing.

It all seemed to work so well in the eerie matrix of zero interest rate policy (ZIRP) where investors desperate for “yield” — i.e. some return more-than-zilch on their money — ended up in the bond market’s junkyard. These investors, by the way, were the big institutional ones, the pension funds, the insurance companies, the mixed bond smorgasbord funds. They were getting killed on ZIRP. In the good old days of the late 20th century, before Federal Reserve omnipotence, they could depend on a regular annual interest rate churn of between 5 and 10 percent and do what they had do — write pension checks, pay insurance claims, and pay clients, with a little left over for company salaries.

ZIRP ruined all that. In fact, ZIRP destroyed the most fundamental index in the financial universe: the true cost of borrowing money. In doing so, it twerked and torqued the concept of “risk” so badly that risk no longer had any meaning. In “risk-on” financial weather, there was no longer any risk. Imagine that? It also destroyed the entire relationship between borrowed money and the cost-structure of the endeavors it was borrowed for. Take shale oil, for instance.

The fundamental limiting factor for shale oil was that the wells were only good for about two years, and then they were pretty much shot. So, if you were in that business, and held a bunch of leases, you had to constantly drill and re-drill and then drill some more just to keep production up. The drilling cost between $6 and $12-million per well. What happened the past seven years is that the drillers and their playmates on Wall Street hyped the hoo-hah out of the business — it was a shale revolution! In a few short years they drilled to beat the band and the results seemed so impressive that investment money poured into the sector like honey, so they drilled some more. It was going to save the American way of life. We were going to be “energy independent,” the “new Saudi America.” We would be able to drive to Wal-Mart forever!

Be careful what you wish for, the old saw goes. The shale oil “miracle” was an epochal stunt. They goosed so much oil out of the ground in a short period of time that they killed the goose — demand for oil at a price that made it worth drilling for. Now, much of the junk financing will default, and the result of that is no more junk financing for a long, long time, meaning that a lot of planned wells will not be drilled and completed, meaning that the current crop of short-lived wells will crap out in the 24 months ahead, and production will not be replaced by new wells, which will not be there. When and if the riggers get busy again in the Bakken and the Eagle Ford, you can be sure it will be at a much lower level of activity than the glorious year 2014. Of course, it remains to be seen how much financial illness the spoiled junk bond paper will spread through the derivatives markets, not to mention the boring old stock and bond markets and the big banks that traffic there. You can only fool reality so long. Eventually risk-on returns for real and swipes the ground with its mighty tail.

Finance was the lifeblood of the global economy and scam after scam left it riddled with wormholes of fragility. That fragility has been waiting to express itself and the ability of bank wizards to squelch and conceal it may have come to an end. There will be no quick cure for cratering oil prices and the damage it will wreak among the shale drillers. Does that sound like much?

I think it’s inevitable that the wealthy try to control the Earth. It’s probably always been so and probably always will.

It’s also inevitable that governments try to control their citizens and increase and increase that control. JMO

And bad for Russia’s trading partners. Russia’s exports will be cheaper to buy. Russia’s IMPORTS will get very expensive, and create great opportunities for Russian citizens.

Any man that accepts the Generosity of a Host Country that takes him in and he then goes to war supporting an old home country for ANY reason religious or not is guilty of treason to his adopted country ..it shows no  allegiance to the Country that took him in.  Their Passports should be revoked and re entry barred they make themselves Alien to the Host Country.   You cant serve two Masters !

If you are Australian you should be nothing else 100 % …Same for Any American that goes to fight in Syria or anywhere else his Government didn’t send him to   he should be barred from re-Entry and Passports revoked !  It demonstrated where his allegiance is by his own choice .

No country can survive with free lance soldiers out of control !

My grandfather came to America in 1906 and said he was an American now ! He went to night school to learn English ,sent for his two brothers and told then to do the same learn English and be nothing but American.I agree totality with this commitment   !

re Bankers Want Your Savings As Part of Their Next Bail-Out

Posted by Mr.Copper @ 12:19 on December 15, 2014  

The bottom line is, the government is preparing to legitimize the theft of our savings in order to prop up irresponsible and unscrupulous bankers. In finance these deposits are referred to as unsecured debt.

How can the banks use or take deposit money if its GONE? Not there, loaned out?

They’ve managed to get the PM shares linked to the SM again. As soon as the SM swoons, PM shares get hit, even though Au/Ag get bid.

But there is no reciprical move when the SM rallys, it’s horribly clever and never lets up.

Re INDICES re DOLLAR

The Dow ALMOST broke 18,000 Friday Dec 5th. (17,062 now) Lots of hoopla went on that Friday too, confirming a top.

The Dopey/Dollar also topped off that day. Euro and all other currencies bottomed on that day. So far so good.

None of it is ” isolated incidence” the community leaders tolerate this among themselves then when something blows up they say its “isolated individual “.   None of it is isolated when radicals take charge and their ethnic brothers stay silent ..Don’t expect anything from non Muslims but ZERO Tolerance  from now on !  Look at his History !

Sydney siege: Man behind stand-off named as Iranian cleric Man Haron Monis

Updated 21 minutes agoMon 15 Dec 2014, 11:15am

Iranian cleric Man Haron Monis is the man police believe is behind the siege at the Lindt Chocolat Cafe in Sydney’s Martin Place.

Monis, who was granted political asylum in Australia, is currently on bail for a string of violent offences, including being an accessory to the murder of his ex-wife.

He is also facing more than 40 sexual and indecent assault charges and has a conviction for sending offensive letters to the families of deceased Australian soldiers.

Police were negotiating with Monis for a large part of Monday prior to officers being seen to storm the building.

He had entered the cafe at about 9:45am (AEDT) and was holding an unknown number of staff and customers inside throughout the day.

His former lawyer, Manny Conditsis, described Monis as an isolated figure who he believes was probably acting alone.

“His ideology is just so strong and so powerful that it clouds his vision for common sense and objectiveness,” he said.
