JPMorgan's Advice To College Students: "Saving Is Not Enough: You Need To Invest"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Now that the rigged market jig is up, and the aging Baby Boomers - those who had some stocks in their discretionary accounts to begin with - have turned to outright sellers of equities (and in fact are doing so "in droves" as reported last week), primary dealers and hedge funds - tired of tossing overvalued hot potatoes among themselves and with the Fed gradually phasing out its daily market goosing - are in desperate need of a new buyer. They may have just found their mark. According to JPMorgan's sage advise to wannabe students, "it is not enough to save for college anymore, you need to invest."

So if grandma and Joe Sixpack refuse to enter the rigged casino, the one remaining "investor" is clear: those that have a record $1.1 trillion in student debt already. Because at the end of the day, what is a few more trillion in government-funded loans - which will clearly never be repaid - to buy stock purchases at the all time highs?

It isn't so much that college tuition is going up, it is that the USD is going down...

Thank the inflation tax.

The third option is for the Federal Reserve to create credit to pay the bills Congress runs up. Nobody objects, and most Members hope that deficits don't really matter if the Fed accommodates Congress by creating more money. Besides, interest payments to the Fed are lower than they would be if funds were borrowed from the public, and payments can be delayed indefinitely merely by creating more credit out of thin air to buy U.S. treasuries. No need to soak the rich. A good deal, it seems, for everyone. But is it?

 

The “tax” is paid when prices rise as the result of a depreciating dollar. Savers and those living on fixed or low incomes are hardest hit as the cost of living rises. Low- and middle-incomes families suffer the most as they struggle to make ends meet while wealth is literally transferred from the middle class to the wealthy. Government officials stick to their claim that no significant inflation exists, even as certain necessary costs are skyrocketing and incomes are stagnating.

Isn't this just a segway so that students can borrow a little extra each semester to invest in the markets ... you know ... to offset the interest costs or maybe make a little dough on the side.

"Average returns".  Love that phrase.  Here's how it works:

Start: $100 investment

End of year 1: you lost 50% (bad year, unlucky timing- it's now worth only $50)

End of year 2: back up to $100, fully recouping your loss.

What's your "average" rate of return?  Why 25%, of course!

Don't believe me?  OK.....

-50% + 100% = +50%

+50% / 2 years = a +25% average annual rate of return.  And yes, that's really how they calculate those "average" numbers.

Go ahead and lay that "average" investment return up against an 8% compounding increase in college tuition costs... you ain't gettin' there.

Following the advice of JPM in anything that has to do with freedom and liberation is nuts. The higher ed scam is collapsing, but new systems are evolving. Forget reform! It is impossible. Build a new system with oplerno.com. The pay for faculty is very good and the costs for students is low. The quality of classes is high. There are 100 courses to choose from and degree programs will be available in the next six months. If you want transfer your credits to another institution. 

Don't play in a system that is broken and beyond reform. Build the new world you want to see. Accept nothing less that revolution!

Who the fuck would want to go to Yale (college), if they already weren't promised a job at JPM or like bankster org upon graduation??

These kids today, taking out $200,000 in loans to spend 5 years in the SEC, Pac 10 (16), Big 10 (16) or like "Universities" are stark raving crazy!!

I guess when you don't know what else to do and working at McDonalds doesn't seem fun, borrowing $200,000 makes perfect sense! But then, of course it does, their stupid fucking parents make $200,000 a year combined salaries in Ponzi Scheme Corporations and think they should borrow $900,000 for McMansions and Cars and Boats, and paying 55% total tax liability is "fair"????

Of course they will fucking borrow $200,000 to buy a piece of paper, that says they completed "Liberal Arts" courses and "general curriculum" work!!!

no, college tuition is blowing through the roof as states stop funding their colleges, 

and as administrators salaries go through roof, and as loans are lent out with abandon to students chasing up tuitions even more. 

 

college tuition is not a financial instrument (yet) and thus cannot be traded as a forex derivative asset. 

 

so nope.

It is not an "inflation tax." Taxes are robbery. Inflation of counterfeit is theft. Whomever receives the counterfeit first exchanges it for real products. They exchange nothing for something. At that moment, they are stealing the purchasing power from the entire pool of currency. The loss of purchasing power that becomes evident later was gained by the thief who stole it when he exchanged nothing for something.

Theft used to be a crime.

The tyranny of modern economics is very tricksy.

My neighbor actually discussed that with me recently, how one can borrow vast sums of money at low interest, and then play the markets making even larger sums of money.

I asked what happens when the market turns against you.

I might as well have have walked out of a UFO that just landed in front of him when I asked that question.

Tue, 05/27/2014 - 12:56 | 4798806 TheRideNeverEnds

Because its a ridiculous question.  The market is clearly going straight up, the only way the market could go against him is if he is dumb enough to try and short it.  Unless he is a member of the big banks or the FED he will have no idea when they are going to pull it.   

 

Look at a monthly chart of the SPX.

 

we have had 4 "down" months in the past two years, or 83% of the time we go up every month.

 

when you take further into account that not a single one of those "down" months made lows lower than the previous month those are pretty good odds with basically zero risk.  

 

Back that up with the fact the FED has stated many times they will keep equities going higher for the foreseeable future and its a no brainer.  Tell him to mortgage the house and buy as many e-minis as he can get his hands on, its like free money already in the bank.

Every average person they can convince to go into the markets represents another trader who can be front run and skimmed with relentless application of their tricks of the trade. Insider trading is everyday practice. The vast computer servers and the top scientists who right to HFT programs need a whole host of average people to make the market big enough to allow vast skimming operations. Do students really think they will put their money into markets and ,after all is said, and done make good returns? Hardly.

The drumbeat to get into the markets goes on all day in the media. In some distant past, I might have said, "be in the markets". But today? You are just one of a sheep flock, and they will nickle and dime you to death.

Enter the great pyramid, my little children.

 

You can sell the banks bubble but get

nothing on the proceeds from the entire

equity sold into it.

 

Your parents can save dutifully for a

lifetime from savings rates not reflecting

free reserves aimed at obviating bank

loss taking, and then you can see this.

and see this privatization of policy too.

And on financial MSM they'll say not bailing

the banks would've meant double digit unemployment.

 

Ahem:

And the banks could've been broken up as

none other than Sandy Weill recommended.

 

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=sanford+weill+break+up+the+big+banks

 

 

And all manner of alternative could've been/maybe

can still be pursued.

 

Break 'em up, isolate into a loser bank

the rightly losing paper, but with no 

equity losers past the bank stakeholders

themselves.

 

This appeared on day one.

Add above the breathtaking bailout link

from Bloomberg Bloomberg Markets

And all of this is to say the kids have

to invest (enter a casino economy transfered

onto them from the banks themselves) because

the dollar's investment value's been leveled

from the carrying of banks $trillions in dead

weight and the aftermath of that.

(doesn't reflect the full dynamic of

benchmarking to 0% instead of 

not being centric to lifting the

values of and/or alternately 

purchasing bank assets)

 

That's what happens when 

first mortgage transferability's

ended because of one cheap money

bubble and then the banks and

government need people tied to

the returns arranged by the banks

for themselves in the next one.

 

 

The way transferability could

be useful is with a loan 

retirement intermediary.

Essentially, a firm saying 

we'll acquire it to retire it.

That's the equivalent of the 

Fed buying mortgage paper not at

market prices to absorb the

loss or to retire it.

 

 

It's Simply The Case A 

Population Of 20 Million 

Locked-In Homes Is A 

Major Economic Structural

Impediment.

There was an article on Bloomberg a couple weeks ago explaining how my generation was traumatized by the 08 "crisis"!! Apparently we are completely risk averse now, possibly for life!!! Haha
Then the article went on to explain how an individual would have gained WETF percentage if they had bottom ticked in 09, compared to the minimal return (NOT ACTAUL LOSS if calculated correctly) the same amount of money would have earned in a savings account! Barf.
It gets worse, technically they are correct! Give or take a few percentage ticks, depending on your entry point, your "savings" will be better off in equities over the next 2-3 years then anywhere else. That's right folks America's reliance on Wall Street is only growing larger! They will dress her up and change her name, but she's still gonna be the durty money changing trollop that is required to keep the wheels rolling in good ol'usa. That is until the wheels fall RTF off...

This is not telling students to put their money in the markets. It is telling parents that when devising a long term college savings plan to buy equities and not CD's. Note the 18 year graph of returns. The article is exactly spot on.

JPM to Replace Commodities Fixing Unit with VOX

In a news release this morning JP Morgan announced the creation of Vital Organ Exchange (VOX).  Fresh off exiting the commodities hoarding and fixing business, and in need of new revenue sources, the hundred year old distinguished firm once known for financing huge business deals will now serve their wealthy clientele with harvested hearts, lungs, livers and other vital organs.

We see a huge market for vital organs amongst our most wealthy government and business clients.  The organs will be harvested from young healthy males and females that are not employed and have little hope of ever contributing meaningfully to Social Security, Medicare and other taxpayer funded projects.  Alex Kunt, head of the new unit stated, "The current host of the organs has little to offer our society in the way of subsidizing our most wealthy and important citizens.  If you are not going to work and support our tax base and the businesses this supports, you now have a way to add meaning to your life."

The program will be strictly voluntary.  "If you like your organs, you get to keep your organs."  Fines for non-participation will begin at $10,000 per year.  If any eligible host does not have the funds, however, their vital organs can be donated and will wipe clean all penalties.  "We wanted the program to be flexible", added Kunt.

Mr. Kunt met with President Obama and other distinguished members of Congress over the weekend to thank them for passing the legislation that made this possible.  "We owe a great deal of gratitude to not only the President, but to Mr. Boehner and Mr. Reid as well.  This dream would not have been realized but for the bi-partisan effort in Washington."

What perfect timing! From today's NY Times:

Is College Worth It? Clearly, New Data Say

The pay gap between college graduates and everyone else is wider than ever, so for all the struggles that many face, a four-year degree has probably never been more valuable.

For all the same reasons the banks

advise entering the casino economy

instead of saving the way their

grandparents did only to see their

income nest eggs ripped off, those

grandparents could raise a couple

kids in an owned home and put them

through college, but the kids in

the audience today, by this banker,

can't, unless they gamble, which will

only pay off for a portion of them.

What the government should do in that case is to make it a law for everyone to invest in a government managed fund that does not lose value. They can use part of the revenue to offset any losses and also subsidize families that can't afford it.

When it comes to stealing from widows and orphans and students, bankers the likes of JPM and Lehman are standing in line.

JPM is suggesting nothing is safe now, so you need to trust us with your future.

It’s Lehman fraud all over again: you never want to watch the enabling puppet, the Congress, you want to watch who’s pulling the strings, the bankers.

In the past it was Lehman et alia that was ripping off widows and homeowners, today it’s JPM targeting students.

Remember the reverse mortgage that Lacy Eckhardt purchased in 1998 and after she died in December 2000, her children received the bill for the final loan payment demand of $765,112.13. Lucky for Lehman’s subsidiary, Financial Freedom Senior Funding, Lacy’s contract contained an equity sharing feature on the home she owned outright, designed to cut the lender 50% in equity sharing.

The loan terms also required Lacy to purchase an annuity that would not pay her a cent until 2012. Assuming she was still alive, the annuity would then begin paying $1816 per month in payments from the lender.

Eckhardt paid $40,453 up front for the annuity, but it carried no death benefit or cash surrender value. At the time she applied for the loan, Lacy was 69 and in chronically poor health with frequent hospitalization.

In a complaint filed in Westchester County, NY, Eckhardt’s estate claims that she was misled to apply for a mortgage with “unconscionably high” costs, without counseling or legal guidance.  The complaint also alleges that she received an “artificially low appraisal,” which when combined with the appreciation sharing feature, allowed the lender to be “guaranteed a profit of at least $225,000 even if (Eckhardt) died the day after making the loan,” according to the complaint.

The appraisal arranged by the lender on the property valued it at $980,000. Two follow-up appraisals paid for by Eckhardt’s estate put the market value around $1,425,000 at the time of the loan.The estate sold the home in May 2001 for $2.2 million—more than double the reverse mortgage appraisal value.  A local realty agent said that the $980,000 value placed on the home was so low “there would have been a buyers’ stampede” if it had been listed for sale.

Normal people could infer that JP Morgan is committing Extortion.

Extortion is the crime of obtaining money or some other thing of value by the abuse of one's office or authority, or oppressive or illegal exaction, as of excessive price or interest: the extortions of usurers.
