I wish we were able to borrow millions and place it in dodgy investments and then when it blows up say: Oops you better make me whole.

Nice “work” if you can get it.

I guess letting 15 yr old quants run the financial world, might not be looking so clever as of today

Good points……as u say we get deflation after an inflation ….This time around some say they want a ‘tame’ inflation, to inflate away the lousy assets they took in after 2007 and all the debt they now have. Hence this talk if no wage inflation yet, as they actualy want inflation, for once.

Of course no-one has ever created and managed a tame inflation, which is why the likes of Dalio are long Gold and bearish bonds….

I read that Book Fed Up by the Fed insider and it is way scary, as she confirms thay haven’t got a clue, it’s all theory and hope….the only thing that holds it all together, which she is silent on, is the Rig….take away the Rig and the wheels would have fallen off years ago.

That’s an ugly chart!

Goldie – great bear story

Posted by Alex Valdor @ 12:20 on March 1, 2018  

Haven’t seen that video , but did see one by a guy on the bank above a river with bears taking fish from the run in the river , when a bear meanders up , just a few feet away , watches the other bears , then starts toward the guy making the video for a moment , and leaves again .

It looked like a grizzly , which are notoriously territorial , so the video amazed me .

In My Opinion The Mass Shooter Was A Closet Gun Hater And “Martyred” Himself

Posted by Mr.Copper @ 12:01 on March 1, 2018  

I’ll bet if they do an investigation they find out he hated guns, and purposely said and did all those bad things, then buys guns, shoots up the school, and purposely does NOT kill himself, because he wants to see the results.

The 19 Nine Eleven terrorists were not able to see the damage and results they caused. Ya know even that sandy Hook killer may have been a closet gun hater. He KNEW his mother was a shooting enthusiast and she was trying to get him interested, why else would these killers use AR 15s with 20 rd mags???

If news like this ever got out, that anti gunners are willing to KILL people to get their way, it would be the end of them. Bad publicity.

Re your part:

“it’s the amount of money printed all round the world, that says Tangibles will go way up. ”

Comment:

What you say is logical but lets give it more thought. They say behind every inflation is a deflation. Look at 1929 deflation after the excess printing 1913 to 1929.

Loans that don’t get repaid is deflationary. Whenever the stock market collapses, lots of printed money evaporates to money heaven. Whenever the stocks and real estate prices go up, that also is like more printing without the printing.

I once heard Greenspan say, I’ll never forget, something like, “We never thought we would ever have a problem with deflation, because can print all we want”. That day I figured he was lying or ignorant. James Dines long ago said he knew Greenspan and he should be a plumber. 🙂

After the gold cut off in ’71 wages kept up with inflation, is many cases surpassed inflation. TPTB claimed wages were too high and causing the inflation. After ’80 the objective was lower inflation thru cheaper imports and union busting. Now here they are all in a panic mode about no wage inflation.

Besides all that, the climbing prices after ’71 was because of printing 1034 to 1971. After 1971 TPTB REVERSED printing. They raised rates ’70 to ’80 5% to 21% to SUCK money OUT of the system. By definition, removing money supply is deflation, increasing money supply is inflation. The pricing is another matter. Lag times between action and reaction.

Yeah we have crazy weather but as one of my grandfathers said once it doesn’t matter the dept of the water if it is over your nose it can still drown you. You seem quite competent to take care of yourself but thought I’d mention it.
We’re having a lot of wind and rain but once electricity went underground lessens the power outs.

The shares I have left are staying just not adding any.

I read from Murphy that Powell has a murky derivative past and that Procter & Gamble sued his bank over dodgy derivative deals and all that has been erased from the Net….

Plus he has no economic background…just a dodgy bankster….I feel so much better !!!!!!

Powell

If Powell turns anything back up it will be the stock market

They are going in for the kill in the metals, trying to wipe out everyone already in and keep anyone from ever thinking about going in again.

Stagflation Red Flags Fly As Orders/Output Slow, Prices Spike

Following weak EU and Asian (and Canada) PMIs, US also disappointed with Markit Manufacturing dropping to 55.3 in February flashing signs of stagflation (prices rising at 4 yr highs as output growth slows). While ISM showed the same stagflationary signs, the headline soared to its highest since May 2004.

Great now all PM’s are keying off the S&P, which is run by the Vix

We no longer have real mkts.

An utterance by Powell today could suddenly turn gold up, stocks up and the $ down…be prepared–also G&S are o.s. so the effect could be magnified.

Watch Live: Will Powell Walk Back The “Hawk Shock” In Senate Testimony?

The Dow Jones Industrial Average has shed about 700 points since Fed Chairman Jerome Powell left the door open to a possible fourth rate hike in 2018 during Tuesday’s testimony before the House Financial Services Committee – his first Congressional testimony as Fed Chair.
Powell
Typically, investors tune out the second day of the Fed chair’s Congressional testimony, but today, investors will be listening closely for any clues about the number of rate hikes, while stock bulls hope Powell will say something to meaningfully walk back his comments from Tuesday.
That’s because on Tuesday, stocks spiraled lower after Powell intimated that he might be open to moving his dot higher as he told lawmakers that he’d become more optimistic about the outlook for growth, employment and inflation.

Tks…we are waiting for it to hit…but in comparison to yr weather, it is a baby, so we keep quite about it….

What may well happen is we run out of gas/electricity, as the idiot Mellons have caused us to close down lots of coal fired power stations, which gave us plenty of excess, now we are running close to zero excess and demand is through the roof…..Industry is already being asked to power down, to drop demand etc….

I have lots of coal still…just in case.

Maddog-u r right-a lot of big time traders have em-bare-assed themselves over the years calling for an imminent rise in gold=PTJ could be the next one.

Copper price felled as Chinese factory reading drops most in 5 years

Posted by ipso facto @ 10:11 on March 1, 2018  

Copper futures trading on the Comex market in New York fell for the fourth straight session on Wednesday on fresh doubts about the strength of the economy in top consumer China.

Copper for delivery in May slumped 1.8% to a low of $3.1295 a pound ($6,900 a tonne) in early afternoon trade, down more than 5% so far this year.

Chinese manufacturing data suffered its biggest fall in five years in February with Beijing’s official manufacturing PMI down to 50.3. The slowdown is being blamed on Chinese New Year disruptions, the impact of the government’s clampdown on pollution and a cooling property sector.

While a reading above still 50 indicates expansion, operating conditions for the country’s factories are now the worst in one-and-a-half years. The breakdown shows a widespread deterioration in demand with the subindices for output, new orders and imports all dropping. New export orders contracted for a second month, dropping to 49.

Re Commodities…it’s the amount of money printed all round the world, that says Tangibles will go way up. The ECB is still printing Euro’s 30 Billion/Month, plus whatever China is throwing in.

Money printing has only ever caused inflation, the only reason we don’t see more inflation is the Rig….they seem to think they can fly in the face of all history, tks to the Rig.

So far they have done OK…but more and more are comming to the same conclusion and your talking huge money….

Next we’ll see even more poor starving Africans on boats to shores everywhere creating havoc like they are in Italy. Hope Italy chooses wisely in their elections because it’s about to get worse and save their own men. Same old same old they want what other people worked for that wasn’t even given to them so they will make their living by just hand to mouth stealing it. Same thing that brought Rome down when they told the soldiers after running out of money to just Sac the city. It wasn’t because of bad water or other theories. The people walked soilders not getting paid quit, their borders fell.
Maybe some communist country will be taking it after the starvation starts to take place and make a new constitution with new leaders then its over for them. Hey if that’s what they want.

Check out the crazy moves in the energy sector. Way up, way down way back up. Look at gasoline. $1.95 and $1.65 and $2.00 in Feb, and what’s with that huge gap $1.75 to $2.00 in one DAY??
