  • Capital control decree from Cyprus via WSJ: Cashing of checks is suspended and depositors will not be able to redeem time deposit accounts before maturity. Credit card transactions are capped at €5K/person/month. €3K of cash is allowed out of the country/person/trip. From the Department of You Can't Make This Stuff Up: No restrictions on making deposits or opening new accounts. The decree is valid for 7 days. Who wants the under on that one? [View news story]
    spoke to a friend today who lives in cyprus; everything is now cash for anything that constitutes daily living and all major transactions are dead in the water;

    he and his fellow cypriot businessmen have been destroyed by these 'capital controls';

    he's Greek and moved from Athens to avoid the calamities there and he said that cyprus has in two weeks moved back 50 years in time and is absolutely certain that this move by the troika will cause cyprus to leave the euro since the liquid financial assets have now been siezed, they can re-issue a cypriot currency backed by the basic economy

  • Another sentiment-related warning sign for stocks (previous) is heavy bearish opinion on Treasurys. CFTC data show small speculators net short at levels typically preceding an imminent bull move in bond prices, writes The Fat Pitch. Professionals? A BAML survey finds 53% of fund managers underweight bonds, the lowest weighting in Treasurys since May 2011 - a pretty fair time to get long. [View news story]
    tlt at 115; this is just another typical run-up the equities to yet another new high level, then dump back above the previous start to keep the stairway to heaven intact;

    there is absolutely no way that the power elite will permit rates to run away AT THIS TIME, therefore something will give

  • Bernanke's Exit Plan [View article]
    gee, where are the favorite never ending sa bulls like tack and macro investor to heap scorn on this article?

    the author's reference to a "ditch diggin" economy based on paying one person to dig a hole and another to fill it back in have been proven to fail AFTER a period of time measured usually in a few years; why? because the measure of value in economic exchange is derived from market participants who eventually come to realize that people contributing 'real' value feel shortchanged and demand more, which then the government castigates but cannot change the spots on the leopard

    this charade called the usa economy will collapse and then resurge with an incredible latent reaction to the massive devaluation of the medium of exchange and the markets will soar to nominal levels difficult to imagine; think 1982 snp500 of 100 going to 1500 in 18 years; this was the latent reaction to the destruction of the usa medium of exchange from the 1920's forward being finally realized;

    and that is why gold remains somewhat overvalued because it overshot its peg by just a little but we will see a catchup in later years as the markets speed ahead; what is my prediction? the power elite has been pushing toward one world government for decades if not centuries and the best way to subjugate people is with a gun to the head and the second best way is by their ability to eat;

    destroy the smug ability to eat and the peasants will accept ANYTHING and the only way to accomplish that is to be able to say to the peasants, "well, we have tried EVERYTHING but it has not worked so now we all must sacrifice to save our world"; that is what Cyprus is all about, so we will see a collapse on the order of Argentina 2002 and after that, to the moon

  • The Failure Of Debt-Leveraged Faux 'Growth' [View article]
    thanx karl; you get beat up a lot in the past for telling things like they are; you could expand on this by going to back to "The Secrets of the Federal Reserve" as put forth by Eustace Mullins to get some more perspective.

  • The Cyprus deal is now a template for the rest of the eurozone, Eurogroup President Jeroen Dijsselbloem tells Reuters' Luke Baker. He's naturally referring to bailing-in uninsured depositors, but does he also mean capital controls and border checks for cash? Other eurozone countries need to work quickly, he says, to overhaul their own banking sectors. [View news story]
    and macro investor, what do you think happens to your up up and permanently up up and up bullish run when the usd strengthens?

    oh, i know, the usa is the 'safe' place to be

  • Market recap: Stocks recovered some of their earlier losses after Eurogroup's Jeroen Dijsselbloem backtracked on comments that the Cyprus bailout is a template for eurozone bank rescues. In Europe, shares of banks were hit hard; U.S. bank stocks held up relatively better. Meanwhile, NY Fed's Dudley said the Fed must remain very accommodative since the labor market remains "far from healthy." [View news story]

  • More on Cyprus: EU finance ministers approve deal. Bloomberg says deposits above €100K at Bank of Cyprus could incur losses up to 40% while deposits above the €100K threshold at Cyprus Popular Bank (Laiki) may be wiped out entirely. Deal may not need to be approved by the Cypriot parliament.

  • Ignore Cyprus: Stock Market All-Time Highs Imminent [View article]
    hey tack, if that's the case how come you didn't sell everything that wasn't bolted down including the wife and kids and go all in on 14 nov 2012?

    hey, i mean we are only talking 4 months so how is it that the entire rest of the investing/trading world got it ALL WRONG???

    maybe because it is nothing more than unbridled cb liquidity keeping the balloon inflated which a whole lot of us simply look at and say, there is an end to this

    economies based on hiring one guy to dig a hole and paying another to fill it are bs and that's why that the power elite's organ grinder monkey named fdr pushed to get ww2 going; thank you hitler and hirohito and mussolini, you proved that the only way the chosen few can make an economy work is to kill people

  • North Dakota crude oil production averaged an all-time high 770K bbl/day in Dec. 2012, trailing only Texas among U.S. states and more than doubling in annual output in two years. North Dakota continues to enjoy the lowest U.S. unemployment rate while California is tied for the highest at 9.8%, but it doesn't need to stay that way; California's economy could surge if the state tapped into its huge Montney shale fields. [View news story]
    that is the QUESTION, pads, pads, pads

    they can find them in the emptiness of those areas and large parts of texas but the east and west are tough

    i bet on natgas going up last spring because i am convinced that a large part of the drilling is to meet tract lease covenants and the depletion rates are ridiculous
