The question is will he (fold) or won't he? It seems the market still believes he will...

Looks less orange
less "protein intake" with reggie love back in DC?
Stooge #2
Dem, Rep, Black, White, Orange, Gay, Straight, Bi....it's all the same in the land of Fast Food
Did he talk yet?
probably too busy bonering an intern
He just tweeted a non-sentence:
"Speaker John Boehner @SpeakerBoehner
Via @washingtonpost: @WhiteHouse “sequester spin gets ahead of reality” http://j.mp/13qgV21 Should be replaced w/ better cuts."
WTF does that mean? Fucking politik-talk. What the fuck!
Meanwhile gold is getting ass-raped.....
Gold and Silver are indeed getting ass-raped! Sans Vaseline!
Any astute suggestions on the causes and if the last few week's continual massive take-down is in any way related to the upcoming sequester? And if so, how? And if the sequester happens, which looks like it will, how will that affect gold and silver prices going forward? Any ideas?
I have no idea.... But these are some suggestions:
1. Today is "First Notice for Delivery" of the PM contracts. So they may want the price to be as low as possible today.
2. Jim Sinclair posted this last night....
You Want Dates For The End Of This Reaction?

Dear CIGAs,
You wants dates? Ok.
The bet on the short of gold side is that the Sequester takes place. I have felt that the gold market’s longest period of reaction possible would end on my birthday, March 27th. That puts it directly in place of this wager in time.
Regardless of whether or not Sequester occurs, I stand by this timing assumption that I have held since this decline started.
Many who I know and asked me in private know this statement to be true. I know that this is read by just those that are at the heart of this decline.
The earliest date of the end of the decline is the 28th of February and the longest period of pressure is until the 27th of March. Thereafter gold is released to the upside which will be a minimum of $3500.
Defend yourselves because today was a wager on the Sequester occurring. Regardless, do not give away your position in either gold or shares that are fully paid for. Margin is madness in gold because the volatility is only starting.
Please note the last interview I gave was about 9 months ago. I have a planned interview with Eric King of www.KingWorldNews.com on Friday of this week. It will have significance as it is a statement. Please remember this in the future.
Ok, so.... DID BOEHNER ACTUALLY COME OUT AND SPEAK OR DID HE ONLY ANNOUNCE THAT HE WAS GOING TO SPEAK AND THEN NOT SHOW UP?
We're close to support for the metals and the pixie dust stock market is likely topping out. An unpleasant surprise now could be used to break $1525, the holy grail of all central bankers. Will they and can they are big questions but I am deferring on PM for the while. We have not tested support while this new Chinese regime has been in power so will those infinite buy orders still be there if we do? Astute might be a stretch.
Cuz he's a yella belly.
Will the sequester matter ? Will the 2 percent reduction in paychecks tip things over anyways ?
So, how does a Republican cave-in on the Sequester, a budget to replace the CR, and the debt ceiling, fire the market higher? In what universe are those deals considered positive steps for business, investment, and the economy?
It depends on whether the insider-information-trading CONgress is short or long the Bernank'd-POMOd-QE4ever "permanent plateau" markets...
Man I miss the Monty Python days, the material from this gong show rivals the "land of schmeeeeeee"
Let's get ready to SEQUESTER!!!
Funny thing is, by the time I read this comment, the Gubmint spent more than the f&*king sequester cuts.
More Hasting Pudding vs Whiffenpoofs politics.
New slogans:
End the Fed(eral Reserve)
Defund the Fed(eral Government)
These "leaders" are acting like catty bitches at a hair salon.
I think the sequester will cause a temporary pull back in the market so I shorted, lets see.
Sexquester.
Sex with your anus, if you play it wrong.
Who the fuck cares anymore.
Thank you
Having been around for a few news cycles (debt ceiling, fiscal cliff, etc.) I barely read the ZH commentary anymore (not that it's first rate, it is). But even the Tyler's can run out of adjectives to ridicule and lambast these fucks. In the future, all such circle jerk, tragicomedies can be boiled down to a few phrases (especially for the noobs and naive); the Ds and Rs are politicians, the politicians are owned by the bankers, the bankers don't give a shit about you and will either keep you alive to milk what little wealth you have left, kill you for sport or fuck you in the ass for fun. I hope you enjoy the show, serfs; FOAD.
all bitches give in
Last minute the republicans fold? All-mighty dictator Obama wins?
I'm already on the bet that he will take off his jacket, rip apart his shirt and cry out, "THOU SHALL NOT PASS!"
Of course he will fold like a cheap suit. The question is will he bawl his little pussy eyes out?
you don't think the cunty repubs will let anything happen to their precious toy soldiers-do you?
Well stated Otto.
I am not sure he has bawls. Just a weeping pussy.
The Weeping Cheeto.
He'll do whatever his masters tell him to do; but yeah, he'll cry about it later.
The Republicans always cave. Why wouldn't they cave again. Weak.
I read somewhere that the Repubs prepared a Bill that will give Obama complete and unopposed control of the budget and spending cuts. Maybe the repubs are getting a brain cell, let him officially do what he wants. Obama is effectively running unopposed now.
I believe Lew Rockwell summarizes Bohner quite well when he recently blogged - They also want to make his horse a consul. Well, not yet, but--led by neocons--they seek to build the presidential dictatorship as they have since Lincoln. And keep in mind that this contrived hysteria does not involve what Murray Rothbard called a cut-cuts, actual cuts, but rather a proposed cut in the proposed increase. http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/133027.html
+1 Much truthiness there. Love he and DiLorenzo calling out what Lincoln really was - first American dictator; one of the biggest historical revisionisms in US history.
and yet the bankers killed him anyway... I suppose he accomplished all they needed, and therefore, was expendable.
charles chiniquy (spelling) and lincoln's relationship is interesting to say the least
come on, DDL's Oscar has barely made it onto the mantle. that's how you know the history fix is in, and you're home free, Steven Speilberg makes a movie about you. I can't wait for The Decider, followed by The Decider Two. If only he could make Bush and Obama part of the Royal family that would be a slam dunk, double Oscars around. Wait, Presidents, who are members of the Royal Family, who sneak Jews out of concentration camps in WW2.
LOL. They are our saviours, ya know. That's the story on Mt. Olympus anyway... ;)
Any man who cares that much about his suntan, because he can't possibly have other people see him pale, will always submit. He will be easily swayed by manufactured public opinion.
FARK YOU BOEHNER. You freaking hack!! If you were a real leader, you would tell Obama to go to hell and not pass any budget that creates a deficit.
~40B out of ~3000B. Big Whoop!
Irrelevant as there is only one party, for the banks and financial houses, by the banks and financial houses and they are directly monetizing 85 billion per month already.
Nothing to cave on. Big deal some spending cuts go through which will have no impact on anything in the greater scheme of things. Sequester is a big fat non event.
but the press will use it to their advantage as anything that fits the WH Memo of the day will be blamed on the sequestration....and of course blamed on the Republicans...even Bush...they just can´t cut one thing..not one thing...
LOL
surrounded by four (foreign?) terrorists.
Brilliant Billy B.
SPY and IWM call bullshit. cave and another bullshit do nothing deal that raises debt and kicks the can
If we were talking about real cuts..maybe..but we are talking about reductions in the increases for next year..they still SPEND more next year than this year...this should be what SNL leads off with next week...but they won´t ..because the sheeple do not know and do not care as long as they are getting their free stuff....
How about he calls for an investigation into all the foreign GS accounts buying up ass loads of NG contracts to drive up price to profit from their structured deals
Boehner looks like a guy who rolls out of bed to a glass of gin every morning
No that would be Joe Gin Bloom Biden
Boehner is a Rhino horn kind of guy
Fuck. I must be a Boehner then. Because every morning when gold is down I down a bottle or three.
Sequester doesn't matter on the downside, but if there's a deal it's worth 20 S&P points on the upside lol.
Fuck him, Bernake, Dimon, Geitner, all of them......fuck them all....
These monkeys will fold like used toilet paper.....
The MSM is either completely in the tank for Obama or is so incredibally stupit it's hard to imagine.
fixed it:
The MSM is either completely in the tank for Obama **AND** is so incredibally stupit it's hard to imagine.
I bet him a carton of Pall malls that he wouldn't stick to his guns.
The Tan Man and the House have taken their ball and gone home for the weekend...We all wish we were paid so much for so little drivel.
They never had balls to start with
This sequester is going to happen. For at least a week or two anyway, until the "incident" can re focus our politicians.
If by 're focus' you mean perform sufficient mass human sacrifice to justify enslaving the remaining free American people and then the world, I agree.
I bet next week we print the highest initial claims in over a year, just so Obama can say "I told you so" with respect to this sequester. They printed it low this week, so next week can be a HUGE jump in claims the week after the sequester took place.
So predictable...
<sarc>
News Reporter, "People accuse you of sucking up to Obama. Is this accurate?!"
Boehner, "Actually sir my spineless back allows me to suck MYSELF off ALL THE TIME since it's in the best interest of the country. Next question please!"
We are talking about a measly 2.4% spending cut on a 16 trillion dollar debt and the country goes into a massive hissy fit. We are fucking doomed.
Uh Oh
Boehner sounded a bit more confident than usual, the super duper commitee (wtf DID they accomplish) failed miserably, time to bring the consequence.
This is O TOM a's empire of ash now...
damn i missed it ? SHIT !
After watching the meeting on CSPAN I don't think he is going to fold...
Looks like the Senate is meeting now:
http://www.c-span.org/Events/Senate-Democratic-Leadership-on-Sequestration/10737438465-1/
Move your feet, lose your seat
If Boehner rolls over this time, he's going to be first in line ahead of Woodward with his own inbred family looking to hang him.
"Pumpkin Head" Karl Rove is ranting on Faux Paux news.
lol franco lingo
Boehner should switch to Kool menthols so the Repubs can finally get the black vote.
just a bit more time in the tanning booth he could pass
Boehner can't do much but repeat what his fractitous party wants to say. It would be a mistake for him to assume a bargaining position in a compromise with POTUS. The American people don't vote for Speaker, Republicans don't vote for Speaker. God knows Democrats aren't behind Pelosi either. This is democracy in action, you may not like the guy, but he's not as self aggrandizing as the guy he has to deal with.
Wall Street had Boehner, Cantor and Ryan on their payroll. All Wall Street needs is for these three and about 20 more Republicans to fold. Cheap really. The market rally this week probably coincides with Boehner getting the electronic transfer from the Squid.
Sequestration equals NINE days of government spending..... The Government is still spending TOO much money!
This video puts in prospective the proportions affected by sequestration. Another WH manufactured emergency to
promote their agenda......
http://www.glennbeck.com/2013/02/27/the-sequestration-is-in-two-days-panic/
The Republicans are just plain scared of being insignificant.
People want free stuff. Food stamps, free rent, Free cell phones and medical as well as spending money.
The democrats keep pushing for more and more free stuff. That's why they win.
I'm running for President in 2016 on the following platform - do I have your vote?
If giving people free money/free shit is the answer, and we still have problems, then we aren't doing it good enough - so we should:
1. give everyone enough cash to pay off their current debts
2. give eveyrone $250,000 on their birthday
3. for those who work, set the pay rate at $500 per hour
4. for those who don't work, set the money-for-nuthin rate to $1000 per day
All problems solved in 4 easy steps.
Vote for me.
he's going to take o's boner up his ass
I love how the headlines say "Will he fold" He will do exactly what his MASTERS tell him to. This isn't a fucking game. Its not RED verses BLUE. Its the FED GOV. verses YOU. The sheeple will never know what happened. One day they are going to wake up and have to choose a side. The people on ZH who follow this nightmare now know what the Russian, Italian, Germans Et. Al. felt like before the shit hit the fan and there is nothing you can do.
Whatever Boehner decides to do....he'll have to call Robert Rubin first, who will call Soros...
in order to "fold" you would have to have taken a stand on something, what does Boehner stand for?
As far as I can tell Boehner lubes up & spreads on demand.
It's not a question of will he or won't he fold. You asked the wrong questions. It's WHEN WILL HE FOLD?
Oooo it's another 'political high drama' and whatnot....yea sure.
Puppet show.
Walk out, demand Harry Reid's resignation. If you are going to be a wepublican be a waskaly wepublican!
That crybaby wuss will fold - I'm all in.
if i have posted this before , sorry; if you are registered D OR R, go down to the election office and change it to 3rd party of your choice or I. otherwise we have a two headed fed gov monster to feed..if we get D and R registration down to 10% or less, then the MSM will have trouble reporting election results..do it for your country.
