The Abenomics Bra - Lifts (Inflation) and Separates (Wealth From Savers)

Tyler Durden's picture




 

This is not Thursday Humor - though perhaps it should be. First, the Japanese promoted bond-buying as not just patriotic, but a manly endeavour that will get you the girls; but now the idea of inflating assets has been taken one step further. The Japanese have argued that 'sex sells bonds' in the past but now, as Reuters reports, the lingerie-maker Triumph's Japanese division has launched a special edition "growth strategy" Abenomics Bra. "We hope that, as the Japanese economy grows, we can also help bust sizes to get bigger," a spokewoman noted as the bra features a rising trendline, three arrows pointing up, and promises a 2% increase in volume with extra padding. The analogy of an exogenous force maintaining a natural force at an unsustainable size is just too easy - as, just as in the real-life, at some point that 'supportive bra' of monetary policy has be removed.

At least they do not vote for illiterate coke head muslims.  

I love how Tyler(s) use tricks to keep us coming back. He shows t*ts and then he will have a gun story.   Best web site ever.  ZH needs more gun stories.

Personally, I see nothing wrong with the usage of props.

At least there's substance in ZH reports, as opposed to the SEC.

I once had a spanking hot girlfriend in college that was smonking hot!
than one night... while I was running the bases... I suddenly had all that padding from her bra...
it was like a kick in the balls... game over for me.
I'm a tits focused kind of guy. Padding is for... not me.

Talking to an Everton soccer fan (the other Liverpool EPL team) in Newcastle, at a time when Everton were not playing well, I said to this guy

"You a bit nervous about today ?"

"No mate, I haven't come for the football, I have come to buy a "Newcastle Bra""

"A Newcastle bra ? I never heard of such a thing"

"Well it is a bra that has plenty of support, but no cups" (the ref being Newcastle have not won anything for 40 years)

Hold out for the fully robotic versions.... coming soon.

This may be Japan's ace in the hole for dealing with China.  A few million more males thsn females coming of age in China may cause some problems.  Japan can solve it for China. China benefits from  a new high demand tech product that can be made domestically using Japanese design - low price domestic models and high price export ones with 'special features' programmed to meet customer requests.

Should be a big hit with all those that want fully compliant females doing anything they want.   Just wait until 3D printing can put silicone 'skin' on a robot - use a body scan of someone and have your own version..... Black Market arises for scans of celebrities.....

Lower Yen = more sales for importers (like us) of Japanese bearings in Peru.  Some winners, some losers in the Global Currency War.  This war is likely to continue for a long time it looks like, Korea has already responded.

No way China will allow their bearings to be under threat of lower Japanese prices (although Chinese prices are much lower).

Looking for the same treatment for male boxer/briefs.

Near as i can tell most Jap males could use an extra 2%.

That's it. The global economy is an aging pair of saggy tits with no milk left in them.

That is my story from here on out. Thank you for the inspiration, Tylers.

First, the Japanese promoted bond-buying as not just patriotic, but a manly endeavour that will get you the girls

You're not supposed to do anything with the intention of getting girls for it. You do what you love, and girls just show up.

Just like Keynesian "economics", once the support is removed, everything sags.

10 yr JGB rates are spiking up as of we speak...  The falling yen and the rising JGB yield will form a feedback loop in the coming days to evaporate what's left of the Japanese wealth.  This is the first realworld example of the Keynesian endgame.  There will come a time when the Kuroda would want to intervene in the yen to stop its fall, only to have the JGB rates skyrocket, and BOJ would have to step in to buy JGBs to cap the rates, and that will send the yen tumbling, which begets more selling of JGBs as Japanese insurance co and pension funds realize they're completely and utterly fudgepacked.  We're awaiting the unfolding of such negative feedback loop.
