The 34 Words That May Have Caused Today's Crash In Stocks
There is much consternation about what triggered today's rapid escalation of selling pressure in US stocks. As the evening wends on and traders sip their Absinthe, it appears an embargoed record of the Fed's Advisory Panel minutes was at least a major concern as it raised the very real specter that those in charge are concerned at the monster they have created:
"There is also concern about the possibility of a breakout of inflation, although current inflation risk is not considered unmanageable, and of an unsustainable bubble in equity and fixed-income markets given current prices."
"Unsustainable bubble"? And this not from some fringe blog but... bankers?
And some bonus words, which have to be read to be believed:
Uncertainty exists about how markets will reestablish normal valuations when the Fed withdraws from the market. It will likely be difficult to unwind policy accommodation, and the end of monetary easing may be painful for consumers and businesses. Given the Fed’s balance sheet increase of approximately $2.5 trillion since 2008, the Fed may now be perceived as integral to the housing finance system.
Uhm... wow.

Wack jobs!
Fringe Lunatics!
Holy shit. Did we finally get through?
Holy shit indeed!
This is equivalent to Greenspan's "irrational exuberance" comments.
"Clearly, sustained low inflation implies less uncertainty about the future, and lower risk premiums imply higher prices of stocks and other earning assets. We can see that in the inverse relationship exhibited by price/earnings ratios and the rate of inflation in the past. But how do we know when irrational exuberance has unduly escalated asset values, which then become subject to unexpected and prolonged contractions as they have in Japan over the past decade?"

"Holy shit indeed!
This is equivalent to Greenspan's "irrational exuberance" comments."
Yeah...but that was in 1996.....a full 5 years before the Tech Crash and 12 years before the Housing Crash.
I think the Elites will try to extend this freak show until @2020. Then all bets are off as Peak Oil, Peak Social Security, Peak Medicaid, Peak Medicare, Peak Obamacare, Peak Debt, and Peak Inflation are all for all to see, brazen and clear.
Didn't you hear... there is a fart, sorry exfart, coming out everyday and trying to convince mom and pop that the stock market is not in a bubble.
It isn't a bubble until it has burst.
The break-out of inflation started in 1913.
p.s. what they really fear is a break-out in gold, so they jaw-bone. First the 'tapering' talk, now this. Talk is cheap - cheaper than even fiat money.
More evidence that they're hanging on by a thread

Conclusion: The Fed will never withdraw.
Combine that with the controversy surrounding Rogoff and Reinhart's research on austerity and the pump isn't going anywhere.

"now becoming", or HAS BEEN since Obama/Bernanke Put?
I mean why the fuck is anyone stupid enough to believe that Obama is not in charge of Bernanke?
If you disagree, explain why no QE occurred under "Busch".....
Fug off otherwise.......
nice talk.
from this: http://www.data360.org/dsg.aspx?Data_Set_Group_Id=2052, it looks as if the growth in m2 in the latter stages of bush's administration was comparable to what it was under obama. both greatly expanded the debt, bush having the stronger economy and better tax revenues.
the bible continues to impress this nonbeliever, courtesy of dan norcini, from ecclesiastes (seems to fit both bush and obama if read a little metaphorically): “Woe to the land whose king is a child and whose leaders are already drunk in the morning. Happy the land whose king is a nobleman, and whose leaders work hard before they feast and drink, and then only to strengthen themselves for the tasks ahead”.
Happy the land with dispersed power; woe to the land with Kings and leaders.

Obama in charge of Bernanke? You're naive and delusional. Obama works for the same people Bernanke works for. You think the trillionaire families that own the Fed are going to let Obama make any decisions? Would you trust your wealth to the whims of a community organizer? They installed Obama just like they installed Bernanke. Wake the fuck up. Obama is a puppet, just like Bush was, and Clinton was, etc. The people who run the show are never seen by the likes of you and I, but they pull the strings just as surely as the sun will rise tomorrow on a nation of debt slaves.
Nailed it.
Well said Dawg. +100
Ocuntus is the latest in a long line of bought and paid for douchebags who've held the office for decades.
My personal belief is we jumped the shark when Ike left office; his final speech the most telling. Eisenhower was the last good CIC.
From there:
Kennedy: The Mob, Compromised shortened term in office; assassinated by elements of the MIC and banks.
Johnson: The first modern day puppet of the MIC. He ought to be mucking stalls out in Hell for eternity for Vietnam alone.
Nixon: More senior member of the MIC puppet line up. Fucked with gold to the tune of the Trillionaires. Fucked himself. A real asshole.
Ford: A stop gap puppet. A good man...but a puppet nonetheless.
Carter: A douchebag micro-manager who fucked things up badly...he had to go so...
Reagan could get in....talk about a puppet...the anti-Obama...good talker/bullshitter...two terms and debt begins....big time...and the bubbles commence...
so we get....
Bush I....who is THE "company man"; a resume that WREAKS of CIA. MIC, and shadow Trillateral Burgermeister uber acronym horseshit power mad fuckers....but he fucked things up...and we got...
Clinton...the lucky fucker did all he could to fuck up his election, but Bush fucked up more...
The man ought to be licking Ross Perot's taint, but Perot was also a MIC diversionary plant.
Willie Monica'ed himself up....and did more damage to the US than the Japs did December 7th....and then some.
which led us to..
Bush II - a mumbling lucky sperm club fuckhead, who used 9/11 as his war platform, as he was given the role by the MIC and elite to do their bidding, with COMPANY MAN Cheney as ramrod to the entire crime scene of Iraq et. al....
8 years of that fuck, with the Saturday night global fucking of 2008, brought us...
Barry Soetero O-Cuntus.....about as "qualified" to be leader of the US as a maggot.....
No wonder we are in a state of fucking madness.....
Needs more detail but here is a start:

Obama's nothing but a, pardon the term, house nigger. He does the laundry for the elite, cooks their meals, ensures their comforts. See how readily he scooted over to the Detroit union HQ in 2009, doing their bidding. See how he holds bankster roundtables in the White House. See how he wields the IRS against the little guy - any Wall Street banks victims of the IRS recently?
"Yes sah, massah, I be your nigga, tell me what to do."
His election wasn't a tribute to American equality, but a caustic backhand to the face of any who think they can be free.
You lost me at "nigger".
Could've made your point
better without the racism.
Since most of the people that use the term nigger are in fact, other niggers; are niggers racist against themselves?
There's black people, and there's niggers. Obama certainly qualifies as a nigger. Black people like Thomas Sowell would confirm this off the record.
Psychological conditioning is a bitch to undo, but certainly worth the pain and effort.
Definition of racism noun[mass noun]
http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/racism
While normally true in some cases there are exceptions. Harry Belafonte had no qualms about calling Rice or Powell house-niggers, and he's black (not much darker than Powell) in the Bush Era. Doin' the white man's work just to be in the plantation house. His words. He's the guy who did the "Banana Boat song" that's so famous again recently from being in Beetlejuice.
That being said, Obama's done the same as Bush so if this applies to Obama, then regardless of skin colour, Bush just as equally worked in the white-house to serve other masters and he is just as lacking in value as Obama is. The one key difference I'd imagine is that Bush Jr. had to call his own daddy (CIA chief, always connected in) Massa as well.
Maybe OT, but reading this morning about Carney devaluing british pound (officially anyway, it's been devalued defacto already), it hit me how ludicrous it is to still call an unbacked paper currency "pound sterling", meaning 1 lb of sterling silver (I assume).
It's just like calling federal reserve notes "dollars". "dollar" was a unit of weight, so much gold, so much silver. "dollars" used to be certificates redeemable for x amount of gold or x amount of silver. Calling unbacked federal reserve notes "dollars" is crazy. It's not a "dollar's worth" of anything.
This knowledge has been lost in today's world. Paper currency used to be "claim checks" redeemable for real gold or silver. Paper currency was merely a convenience so people wouldn't have to carry physical coins around with them.
Now here we are, paper currency still has the old physical metal type names but the physical metal aspect is gone.
OTOH maybe it's not crazy. Maybe it's genius.
Back to 1815, this is the year Nathan Mayer Rothschild makes his famous statement,
"I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the Empire on which the sun never sets. The man who controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply."
He would go onto brag that in the 17 years he had been in England he had increased the £20,000 stake given to him by his father, 2500 times to £50 million.
This quote applies to any country with a Rothschild installed central bank; our politicians have ceded all their power.
So, thats whats going on....
Hard to believe, isn't it? If you look at a chart of US debt over the last 40 years, you'd think it made a difference if the Dems or the Repubs were in charge, wouldn't you?
Uh, wait a minute... No you wouldn't. Nevermind.
Yeah right. You're logic is all FUBAR dude. You shouldn't even try to reason. You're not equipped for it.
It is only a matter of time when unregulated money gets regulated.
No way any gov't out there wouldn't put a hand on it.
Guys, here's a couple of thoughts that came to mind:
1. This means that the Fed has declared itself landlord supreme. The takeover is complete. So why even hide it?
2. They are dropping hints that eventually (aka soon enough to talk about it) the sysrem will crash; major lifstyle adjustments are going to happen. Including cutbacks everywhere (with a token drop from the top). And since they are the lord supreme why not make the edict, there are no major challengers to question.
Hey, they just admitted it in black and white.
Don't be foolish and forget these FED guys all have golden parachuts, escape hatches, lifeboats, hideouts, protection and everything is plush... they'll be MIA living in style before you even knew TSHTF. Then they'll morph themselves into a new incarnation. But always being our ultimate masters. Welcome to our newly minted aristocracy. Feudalism redux.
unless one of their underling minions actually turns out to belong to some anonymous branch of Occupy or worse yet, is just a really pissed off fucker who's able to use a good poker face, and offs a few of them on their way through the escape hatch.
Why would a gold breakout be the fear, and not a silver breakout? There is 16 times more silver thAn gold, yet the G S Ratio is over 60, and gold has not the industrial demand of silver.
The only thing they would fear *moar is equity creation without debt.. John F Kennedy issued Executive Order 11110 which allowed the Treasury to issue money without Interest. Had that been followed we would have no crushing debt burden today.. I mean THE REPORT IS EXPLICIT. The *only* thing the federal reserve is talking about is Debt, Debt, Debt. Natually 6 months later JFK was shot to pieces, and decades later CIA operatives (E Howard. Hunt) would leave death bed confessions to the crime of shooting him.
And Student Loans are even worse!!! If I want to financially CRIPPLE a population I'd give them student loans that will take the rest of their lives to pay off in an anemic economy.
The *only* thing that will ever give power back to the people is to STOP the creation of MOARRR debt! Especially at the government level.
The speech was interpreted as a warning that the market might be overvalued; followed by a 2%+ market selloff on Monday (equivalent to ~300+ Dow points plunge in 2013).
Greenspan's `irrational exuberance' comment jawbones markets down
12/6/96
By FARRELL KRAMER
The Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) - Wall Street stocks opened with a thud this morning following a global plunge caused by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan's suggestion that the markets were irrationally high.
Within 30 minutes of the market's opening, the Dow Jones industrial average plunged 145.35 points, a decline of more than 2 percent.
Back then they had the ability to lower rates and begin stimulus. They are toast now.
Or they could go for broke and pay people to borrow money @ 0% APR.
Imagine the boost in GDP with that! $10k loan to be reapid @ 0% over 82 months, plus we'll give you $2k free for taking out the loan! Here's your $12k!
Or they can raise rates, wiping-out bond holders and bail-in the rest.
No fonz, they are not toast....the country is.......
No Kito,
Individuals who have not taken the proper preparations are fucked. Some of us will make out better thAn the Amish!
Only relative to those who fall further and faster, but all will fall together.
I know, they can't.
the abolition of Gold Standard made it affordable for the banking system to be used as an infinite Credit expansion tool
the financial politics of well-fare state requires no possibility for private capital owners to protect themselves.
do you understand know why those in charge dislike the gold standard?
budget deficit is just a plan of wealth-confiscation!
gold stands in their way as the guardian of private property.
if you understand that , why not understand gold price must be supressed so that free party shall go on ?
(alan greenspan)
The main point is as every day passes they find it harder to conceal. All bets are off already just a matter of time.
Is "IE" similar to "QE"?
IE = Irrational Exuberance;
QE = ....well, enuff said....

Tyler thanks for highlighting the two slices of moldy, Fed bread, but you left out the rotten meat between them:
Further, current policy has created systemic financial risks and potential structural problems for banks. Net interest margins are very compressed, making favorable earningstrends difficult and encouraging banks to take on more risk. The Fed’s aggressive purchases of 15-year and 30-year MBS have depressed yields for the “bread and butter”investment in most bank portfolios; banks seeking additional yield have had to turn toinvestment options with longer durations, lower liquidity, and/or higher credit risk. Finally,the regressive nature of the artificially compressed savings yields creates pent-up demand within bank deposit portfolios; these deposits may be at risk once yields begin to rise and competitive pressures increase.
So after all these years, banks are at risk again - by the Fed's own doing. Gotta love it.
They did not define the "risk" deposits would be subject to. Would it be a run on the bank or the bank getting bailed in?
Could be either. But probably bailed in first. Interestingly enough, Marc Faber is interviewed in Barrons this morning and says after pumping up assets being belief, creating every sort of capital misallocation, governments will turn on the wealthy through taxation and redistribution or face revolutions, notably in Europe, and also says that deposits are not safe anywhere. Bailed in fits the redistribution definition perfectly.
Pure greed is their downfall this time around. When you get credit free and lend it at 10%+, it's got to be easy to make a comfortable income.
What risk? They're purchasing real assets with imaginary money not to mention the trillions in collateral on their financial statements.
Getting their Freak On...better sooner than later. Maybe they figure if they start to pepper their comments that will 'relax' the perception when the press starts talking that way. Its like preconditioning the markets for Freakshow.
No, it may mean that the banks have unloaded all their junk loans onto the FED; therefore, QE can end. Banks made record profits in the 1st quarter.

Those last paragraphs are exactly what I've been saying over the course of a few years. They can't get out of this game because they have gone to far. We will have to take the pain and they are coming around and realizing it will happen. There problem is how much will it hurt.
"We will have to take the pain..."
Why is it that we always take the pain and the fat banksters get to walk away with their (our) stolen TRILLIONS unscathed???
Somehow we need to make it hurt more for them than for us.
We need a more permanent solution for our problem!
Clever ploy to make it seem as if the who charade was not intended from the start.

They always knew they had no plan.
They just didn't want to tell everyone straight away...
I Was always curious when economists spouted their drivel about an agrarian economy becoming an industrial economy then changing into a "consumer economy" as it "matured". What was conspicuously absent was any discussion about what happens AFTER the consumer economy.
My point is that the predictive ability of the economics profession is close to zero, they should just stick to what they do best which is re-interpreting history through a rose colored Keynesian magnifying glass.
What happens after a "consumer economy" is a "pre-agrarian economy"...

The last time Israel got in a fight (with Jordan), all kinds of bad shit came out of the woodwork. The Russians, Chinese, and Indians are probably not too keen on the United States taking over the world. Look for all kinds of help to come to Syria. Israel is certainly tough, but it can not stand against Russia even with the US's help.

Is this the first time, they officially mention "bubble" in the context of the financial system? They are responsible which means they are creating all bubbles. Apparently they seem adverse to that.
When central planning comes full circle, all prices are fixed and yields are mandated in a 10-year plan. Central planners in the past have reacted to their own policies and realized that in hindsight, their policies let a free market spiral out of control. Hence the need for more controls by central planners.
Real central planning does not allow for the creation of bubbles.
I thought it was a good day until I'm reading this. They are going full tilt and head on into a centrally planned fascist system.

Handoff to hedge funds - probably
ekm trust me, many a 401(k) has moved into equities recently. You are right about hedge funds as well. But there is 17 trillion in retirement plans and they are learning right now that bonds and stocks may hurt at the same time.
That is not retail.
People holding those pension funds have no other choice, do they?
Portfolio managers make the decision, or not?
That is indeed retail, as they do have a choice; take the tax hit and get what you have left out of the casino.
We always have choices EKM, some just suck more than others.

I don't want to paint too broad a stroke here but my interpretation of most "401k" holders, anyway is the "white collar" version of fat cops eating donuts for 20 years & then retiring on a full pension...

Russia would also appreciate the price hike as well, not that they would prop up the opposition for such a gain.

During three years of "unrestrained speculation", Mr. Warburg had not seen fit to make any remarks about the condition of the Stock Exchange.
