Thanks for putting these up CB.
Wow these are live! They refresh when I page refresh... THANKS!!!!
I love the people of ZH.
The FTSE is great, the UK economy so strong, Europe charging ahead, everything so strong, the Asia dive nothing to worry about. No wonder the FTSE went vertical 1% up. No corruption or manipulation here.
euro @ 1.22 Gonna be a down monday? Finally?
Copper is headed down the pipe! They don't call it Dr.Copper for nothing.... Cheeky, Any take on the industrial metals vs. gold and to a lesser extent, silver?
Gues what is trading at 1.2301 right now
cheeky, i wish i knew your origin of pain.
kinda, of a healer†
large body of salt water (very healing), think and meditate on that thought.
salt water, not to be redundant,
floating
dead sea = salt sea.
i am into your eric fromm suggestion.
to be.
some big concepts/words for my brain, but have my dictionary really really close by.
peace. are you a pisces?
Gemini
ok you and bob dylan (some say the buddha) your in it right now.
HOLD ON, BABY†
Mr Bastard, need some cheering?
Frank Gallagher: Human misery - you can't get enough of it! Willing a bloke to chuck himself to his death so that you can have a bit of fucking "entertainment"! Serves you right if he lands on your heads, you brainless cunts.
Just watch Shameless. Nothing better on Tv. Us version will be shit.
Tickets this way to the Chatsworth Express
Come watch pikeys making a mess of the lives they were given, by him upstairs
and kids there convinced, aren't actually theirs
What sound's on Earth could ever replace,
Kid's needing money or
Wives in your face?
Cause this, people reckon, me included,
Is why Pubs and Drugs, where kindly invented,
To calm us all down, stop going mental.
These are Chatsworth Estates basic essentials.
We are worth every penny,
For grinding your axe's.
You shi* on our head, but you pay the tax's.
Imagine Britain without Chatsworth buccaneers,
Who'd cu* on your face for the price of beer.
Make poverty history, cheaper drugs now!
Make poverty history, cheaper drugs now!
SCATTER!
Outnumbered is good for a chuckle, as Is Garth Meringue's Darkplace, Mighty Boosh, Coupling ( Jeff is a god),Green Wing ( Sue White is a goddess), and It Crowd.

DXY just keeps climbing...AUD/USD now breaking down liquidation gathering momentum. Hmmm, looks like a bout of deflation taking hold.
The euro's getting killed all of the sudden, a sea of red in Asia and S&P futures are selling off some. Its ridiculously early of course, but we might actually have a down Monday in the US.
Xlnt ++
CB, had a laugh watching a TV show called "Supernatural" yesterday and thought of you.
Dean: What do we do now?
Castiel: I suggest we imbibe copious amounts of alcohol. Just wait for the inevitable blast wave.
Dean: Yes, well, thank you, Bukowski.

It could go this week, as S is HTF (make no doubt about it). All they have to do is run Barry's go go gadget "star bux" through Congress, and open up the Spit Swap Lines. Not only has inflation already been spurred by the creation of massive FIAT (we are at 11% and I am beginning to think we need to rethink inflation numbers....world inflation??? If they are converging all FIAT into one heap of stinkin' mess, should we not use ONE INFLATION NUMBER??? WORLD INFLATION...WHAT WOULD IT BE??? CHINA IS THE WORLD SUPREME POWER-Sorry 'Merca, you ain't got nothing except the illusion of the DOELARR-AND CHINA"S INFLATION IS RUNNING RAMPANT!), but it is on the verge of completing its run into a hyper'ness; fractional reserve lending is ready! Velocity is all we are waiting for. Only a minor uptick in velocity would send the whole FIAT paper chase into infinity. They have the balloons filled with hot air; they cut the ropes and there is no coming back. Consider yourself Dorthy, and note that OZ does not want your company. Luckily, you are wearing silver slippers...
First Barry gives some bailout numbers. This is a must watch. He also appeared drunk. Not Dubya drunk, but who can pull that off?

Velocity is all we are waiting for
I so agree. Absolutely stellar post.

p.s. (on watching the vids) There is a special place in hell for Barry and Slick Willy where they will have to sit and listen to each other spew disingeuous bullshit for all eternity. And Satan will cackle with Hillary's voice as he beats them with flaming latex dildoes. :-)
easily one of the more bizarre and surrealistic amalgams ever posted on ZH. to wit, love the section on Meister Eckhart, perhaps my personal favorite metaphysician/theologian and yes, even if any gas is escaping out of gold, silver is going to catch a big wind. it is interesting to note that some months ago Armstrong called a top in USD at 90 some months ago and a low in the Euro of 1.17.watching that tipping point closely
I read the intro by Ruth Ananda Anshen and then stopped to download and savor for later when the day is not as hectic. Beautiful...Thank you Cheeky.
Why am I prompted to share this? I don't know, maybe in celebration of the intergrative forces that maybe unleashed along the path of evolution. Nausrat Fateh Ali Khan, set to dub reggae by an Italian studio wizard. It should be more palatable to the western ear, but Khan's vocals are not diminished. "Ena Akhiyan Noo" To These Eyes. Pity you don't understand the words, but the ecstacy shines through.

one of the greatest remix albums ever. spiritual music for the new millenium. thanks for sharing with everyone.
wow
Thanks for the Fromm, CB.
I'll share it with others like-minded.
@wang: You might want to think a bit about why a beautiful planet next to a stable G-class star is currently a killing zone.
An excerpt from Fromm's treatise
and an excerpt from this "beautiful planet next to a G-class star" in an area of Bangkok aka the Killing Zone (something about the human condition, I suspect - but I'm only guessing (sarcasm)

Hippy vs reality, hippy loses every time.
Au contraire.. The hippies are doing quite well off the grid. If you would like to meet some come to a National Rainbow Gathering. It is held July 1st to July 7th every year in a different National Forest. It is incredible and it is all thing preached by Fromm....
Or for those who like music http://www.RainbowGlowMedicineShow.com. We have posted eleven years of live recordings from the gatherings. If you don't like the random song that starts playing, just refresh the page to change the song.
We Love You!
How unhip of you. I guess we can't all evolve. We'll miss ya.
And why do these monkeys believe that politics and the economic status quo of Thailand, the military coup, UDD, PAD, etc are worth killing and dying for?
We could provide everyone in the world with unlimited energy and 'money', but unless and until we resolve our psychological mis-framing of reality, then we'll just end up using that energy as the Red and Yellow shirts are.
I don't disagree with what you say/see the world is, but I refuse to believe that it will necessarily always be thus.
The liberals (socialists, progressives, whatever...) can't comprehend the meanness of the peasants. The conservatives (fascists, whatever) can't comprehend the meanness of the nobility. Too bad people can't just look in the mirror, but - then - self-delusion is what keeps humanity going.
self-delusion is what keeps humanity going.
...toward the abyss.
No, no, It is culture:)
Fromm summary:
meanwhile back in the killing zone Utopia continues to be somewhat elusive
"inherent goodness of people"
I have less belief in that than I do the Efficient Market Hypothesis.
Goodness is a choice, it is far from inherent. It is also a choice made by very few people in the best of times, far fewer in bad times.
That is my experience, biased though it might be, after having lived many decades and having had the opportunity to live in a dozen countries and work in a wide range of fields, from investment banking to government to philanthropy. Never found any more nobility among the poor than I did on the trading desks of Wall Street, or vice versa. It's spread pretty equally, and very sparingly.

RIP, Holy Diver!
RIP Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal
Saw Dio at the Oakland Coliseum in the 80's (twice). All time. He'll be sorely missed.
How could they tell?

me thinks your are reporting Fridays closing numbers
I love charts. I was expecting some charts and maybe an essay on candlestick analysis. But noooo. Instead I find charts and Erich Fromm to have or to be. All I can say is, epic! I read through about half of Fromm and there's really alot to think about. I'm definately going to read the whole book a few times before I even attempt to offer any comments on it. I recommend reading it. Thanks for the post Cheeky. Oh, and regarding the charts... bullish on silver.
+1 about silver, hard.
I read enough to mourn a potential human destiny that seems to be receding every day. So much for the great bald ape experiment. Maybe Kubrick's monolith can do its thing for gerbils next time. However I comfort myself by believing that somewhere in this seemingly infinite cosmos, things have turned out a little better.
They are still working on a disaster to bring on monday morning. It's still early, and they don't want to spoil people's sunday :)
buy, buy, buy?
Oil cant keep droping can it? I couldnt even get gas at my local station here on saturday..Not panicking or anything, just everyday normal traffic and out of 25 pumps only around 10 had gas, wtf..
where are you silvertrain?
va/nc on the line
Thanks, I wonder if its a gulf-related thing? South coast CA is pumps on full (if anybody cares?). Try to keep 'em topped off either way since '07...
Yeah, Thanks..Like I said, It was a normal saturday..Today had a mild increase as I went down for coffee.25 pumps about half was closed do to being out of gas and half pumping..It was great weather, I guess im paranoid..
Check the spread between spot and front month...it's only about 9 bucks. That's gotta hurt when you roll contracts.
