This is a big fat charade. Just wait and see. Gold isn't even pushing through 1300. This whole BS is a smoke screen for massive endless Yellen QE, and a set up for what is now two years of presidential election propaganda. They will slam gold hard once these Bozos reach an eleventh hour deal. What a farce!

And the fucking bankers are riding these peaks and troughs like a money rollercoaster.  After all, they know exactly where the track is headed before anyone else does.  If there were any enforcement of existing laws, I'll bet one could easily find massive trading positions entered like clockwork before each major shift in "news."

Hindenburg Omen, who can change the course of mighty rivers, bend Keynesians in his bare hands.

And now another exciting episode in the adventures of Hindenburg Omen.

Look at the data this entire economy has been and will continue into an even worse state of shambles but one without many more options left to paper over this illusion. In the old days they could point to the money printing accomidative policy and say "Bull Market Unprecedent Run" but that was when homes and wages were increasing and our debt was half of the level it is at now..

In the break room, I heard three actual normal people talking about the difference between the "deficit" and "the debt".  

They are pretty sure that these concepts are two different things and are very large numbers.   There's no agreement that they are related in anyway tho.

Re:  the country is badly broken

For the top 20% things are pretty good.    Crony socialist/capitalist banana republics aren't so bad if you're on the top of the food chain.  

And, best of all, the bottom 80% really don't know what or who is causing the problem (other than "the politicians", who they'll relect next time), but - luckily for the top 20% - aren't really that pissed off as long as they've got enough (near) food, gladiator battles, bling, and porn.  

We've got the best banana republic that's ever existed in history, and THAT is an accomplishment.

Gold was artifically slammed down to begin with... and it almost touched 1250.. now its near 1285, big intraday move there.. and an almost immediate retracement of the enormous slam down (this is prior to any debt talk breakdowns). I don't think gold will see 1250 again for a long long time.
