    Europe faces a commercial property debt timebomb with almost €1 trillion (£896bn) outstanding from the sector and a quarter of that potentially distressed. The UK accounts for 34% of the €970bn total, with Germany second with 24%. Not to worry, global pension funds are busy snapping up properties but do they really know how long it will be before this crisis blows over? And what if it gets a lot worse before it gets better? Are pensions prepared to deal with those losses?

    As I warned in my Pan-European Sovereign Debt Crisis series and amid a depression, this Eastern European government has collapsed. Western European countries (and their banks) have material claims within this country, and when combined with pressure from the PIIGS, may be the ones that set off the financial/economic contagion daisy chain. It is difficult to determine who sets it off, which is why it is best to attempt to determine the path of the contagion instead...

The CFNAI is a better report. It says Bernanke lied about recession likely over. It's been printing deep recession for months and months and months and continues to do so.

If Bernanke speaks it's a lie, misconception, or manipulation.

Never pay the slightest attention to what a company president ever says about his stock.

And for Tyler(s)

-Millions saw the apple fall, but Newton was the one who asked why.

Thanks for bringing this all mainstream. I have friends who approach me with these topics and I know their thoughts, in someway, originated here. It's good that people are starting to ask questions and this blog/website is a large part of that.

Any wonder why "consumers remain deeply depressed?"  Government & business leaders routinely lie, unemployment rising with benefits running out, possible war coming in middle East, fraudulent, insolvent banks being bailed out by taxpayers, stock & bond markets manipulated & operating in a parallel universe, MSM "containing" news dissemination, unemployment for young adults over 50%, Congress unresponsive to voters threatening to ram down unwanted legislation. Depression level unemployment in Spain, unprecedented national debt with possible tax hikes and inflation coming, etc. Yes, folks, this really raises my level of confidence in the economy.

Lionhead,

I don't think that is a lie to espouse or cheer a headline number.

It is the spin that they put on it which is intended to mislead that is duplicitous or disingenuous. MSM is glossing over the consumer, who is getting trampled over in this so-called "green-shoot" recovery. In fact, the recovery is killing him. It's bad medicine for the consumer, great medicine for the banksters, and great medicine for big corporations that can downsize to 40-50% of their workforce to survive and goose earnings reports

The problem with taking the under is that you're david fighting goliath; bernanke and the bulls are seemingly intent on the belief that if they keep saying we're in the clear it'll become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I believe it was David that slew Goliath.  At some point, the brains of the dinosaur are too small, too inept, to dictate the actions of the body.  And so it goes with Bernanke-ism.

I like the david/goliath analogy, for the most part I do not play david in my approach. When it is clear the forecasts by economist are apt to be wrong on either the upside or downside, it is my job to point the error of their ways out.

I walk into a bar is Assville. 100 women inside and i'm the only guy. I should be getting 5 numbers, but the bookies bet I only get 2 (taken on some debt). I get 3, so I beat the street. LOL

As a manufacturer myself who gives orders to companies in Chicago, I too would expect the ISM to improve in September.  But as an uber-bear, I expect this uptrend to be short lived.  Already things are starting to get quieter around here and I know everything is running on printed money.  Something's gonna give soon - be patient my fellow bears.

People are on the brink. In Connecticut, a woman robbed 6 banks in 6 days. Yesterday was the last as she got caught. Manufacturing is dying fast and blue states like mine don't give a damn. Peter-Paul just moved to Virginia because my state would not give them a tax break. They left and guess what - now no taxes. Virginia cut them a deal. It was a sad day for all of us. Peter Paul invented the delicious Almond Joy and Mounds candies. He was completely blind when he opened his factory. Wow! what a great country - when you can be blind and still fulfill a dream.

msorense,

 

Thank you for your input. On balance what you suggest is that the economists may be right to forecast a higher month over month. My point for mkt participants is that this makes it that much easier for the number to disappoint. As traders, we have to be ready for market reactions not just to upside surprises (like the 3 M&A's announced over the weekend) but disappointment as well.

Living in Texas, I have to say that there is such a thing as Presidential Preference as you don't need a line item in a spending bill to make the political spoils of war worth the effort. Say what you want about '41-'43, but those 20 years of Presidential (direct or indirect) proximity were beneficial.

Now we have a President beholdant to the "Chicago Political Machine Model" and enough "stimulus" to make a sloth run a 4.4 40. It's so hilarious that I can't seem to find the movie Eddie Murphy starred in called "The Distinguished Gentleman".

As just about everything that is still left to be made in America comes out of Chicago, in one form or another, I would look to the Chicago ISM as the new standard and the new beneficiary of Commander in Chief largess.

Were gonna miss it here in Tex-Arkana. Perry in 2012!
