Dubai CDS Hits 652, Ploughs Through November Highs As Gold Jumps On Greek FinMin Headlines

Tyler Durden's picture




 

This is where Jim Cramer (and every sell side analyst) comes out and tells us all this is just the market exaggerating stuff and what not. Oh, and gold being up 1% as a fiat currency alternative is completely irrelevant to anything.

In other, actually relevant, news, the Greek Finance Minister is providing the usual share of cheerful Monday morning headlines. As Emperor Palpatine would say, the chaos in Europe is now complete.

EVERYWHERE IS ARGENTINA

Greece already fuckin sold off roads, airport fees, public works projects revenue streams, etc., in exchange for cash up front and derivatives deals (rate swaps).

Fuckin gov there has already sold off the productive national assets to keep in the debt game.  This is no different from what Menem and De la Rua did to the Argentines when they fire sold national assets to foreign creditors.

While the proles demand the dole's expansion, the government is selling the nation out from under their feet to keep the party going.

If people don't stop this shit NOW, you will wake up one day to find a Goldman Sachs tollbooth on your street staffed by a local police officer.

Last I heard they didn't have police officers on the streets in Argentina anymore.

Didn't see many police during a November visit to Buenos Aires - doesn't seem to be much need for them in the streets which are full of people working and playing and enjoying life. Saw less panhandlers in a week than I can see in fifteen minutes on fifth avenue in San Diego.

It was a blessing for Argentina that it defaulted ten years ago before the real financial craziness took off and they now have a real economy producing things the world wants to buy.

Beef, it's what's for dinner.  Exports from Argentina were about 500,000 tons in 2009.

09:03 02/15 GREECE FIN MIN: IMPORTANT TO INCREASE EUROSTAT POWERS

Get used to this one folks.  In essence the criminals are saying the problem is that there is no cop on the beat or a legal system that actually imposes penalties upon violators.  So much for the concept that the actions of markets and those that make and regulate them are self enforcing.

China is printing money out of thin air.

Guys concerned about lying US or Euro government stats do some fact checking.

The Chinese central planning economy is one big lie. The Russians ran out of lies and weren't propped up by Western companies setting up sweat shops. The Russians had the same economic philosophy as the Chinese do. The political lies and propaganda are unmatched.

We are willing to accept that the Fed lies and buys UST.

Nobody is questioning where the Chinese government is getting their money from to buy US debt.... They have trillions in reserves... but what about their liabilities?

China could print into nirvana. Their government lies and would never admit it. Their people are flush with cash from a government that primes the pump with fresh cash. Bad loans are a problem. You foreclose or default, you face the death penalty. People hoard cash because doctors and hospitals accept cash only..

China is a lie. They are buying the world with a lie because they can. Is time the facts get spelled out and the China myth gets demystified.

Any country that has NO DISCLOSURE and CENSORSHIP if anyone dares to disclose can fudge, print and lie. With fudged balance sheets anyone can buy debt, can make loans, can build infrastructure and inflate the price of commodities.

Read the "China Black Swan" column on this site. It's an eye opener.

US rules. Europe abides. China lies but the lies are becoming too obvious and news is leaking.

The Greek government still has substantial collateral. in return for the ports that control the entry points for gas and oil (substantial) we will guarantee X amount of debt. This solidifies energy resources that GrossDeutschLand requires.

I think the latter day politicians are borrowing a lot from Holywwod. The limelight,and the "one man superhuman who will save all"complex has gotten to them. MAthematically it is very simple. Either:1-Default and back to the Drachma>Political explanation:My fellow citizen,since you refuse to budge on your social responsibilities and pay taxes. And since even if you did,my fellow politicians will steal it anyway,so I don't blame you for not paying it. Hence the default,because even those managers who were lending us other people's money(and not their bonuses,which nowadays they convert to gold and hide in Swiss vaults)stopped lending us.Or 2- Default for no other solution is available.
