The Bloodbathery Continues - "Some Folks Were Selling... Everything"
We suspect more than a few are feeling like this after today...
What started out exuberant - with proclamations that oil and stocks had found a bottom - ended badly...
Apart from JPY - which was bid almost 1% against the USD - everything was sold today... Treasury yields up 6bps at the short-end, Oil down over 4% after being up over 1% overnight, gold & silver hammered down 4%, stocks plunged (though Trannies bounced back), credit smashed wider, EM FX crushed, Russian "everything" demolished, and
With 10 minutes to go, THEy got serious and broke the markets to try andget something positive out ofthe day...
And we have a winner: BATS OPTIONS: BATS OPTIONS HAS DECLARED SELF-HELP VS NASDAQ BX
— zerohedge (@zerohedge) December 15, 2014
From Friday's close - quite a roller-coaster for futures...
And Cash equities...
The S&P 500 broke its 50DMA and 100DMA, finding brief support at both...
Russell 2000 notably in the red YTD now...
Credit markets were crushed today...
*S&P/LSTA U.S. LEV LOAN 100 INDEX BID PRICE: 94.5386, -.4373
Treasury yields closed higher on the day - major flattening
FX markets showed very modest USD strength but the drop in USDJPY was the most notable... (strength in JPY)
And last but absolutely not least - commodities were absolutely crushed... PMs and oil...
Close-up on Crude..
And Oil & Silver started to get slammed as the S&P was lifted... It seems between $56 oil and 12ET, the fix was in to save the status quo... but it didn't create the magic...
and then there's Russia...

Don't worry, tweens in NYC are buying the fucking dip so they can make their $72 million in a couple of years.
Headline from a slightly nonparallel universe:
“Bank of America’s 15-year-old algos, approaching mid-life, begin to lose their insatiable drive for VWAP"
Would like to hear some opinions on where the money is going. Sell everything and? Its not going Carry Trade, bonds didnt move that much today. Its not going PMs (duh), and its not going long dollar so where? Sit in Fiat in your local currency.... That would seem mighty stupid, if it gets bad enough for the banks to start dumping.... Anyone care to speculate?
Margin calls foe some
It's being vaporized....Not really, it never existed in the first place. All unbacked credit, rehypothecated, infinitely leveraged and multiple owners of same set of crap.
I tend to think there is some truth to that "Imagery" all these market gains for the last few years have been Paper Gains, they can go away and it would be a zero sum game. The money taken out by the first to sell? Well, they have off shore accounts, all kinds of places Bankers and Trading firms can put it. But I understand the other point. Large capital is being taken out, so some of it must be seeking a new home. I would opt PM right now. Not paper metal though, that would be madness.
I suspect there are short term fiat safe harbors that this money is now in, but it must come at a real cost to have it held, and a home must be found. You can't just buy a few flats in London on a whim. But I suspect big time RE is going to pop.
Two positions are being taken: (1) cash, and (2) fetal.
Specualting, I say, something else is going on, which explains the move to cash. Look at russia (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/russian-central-bank-hikes-policy-rate-...) - they just hiked rates to 17% to stave off inflation and complete evisceration of their currency. As an observation, russia is not the only hewers of wood and drillers of oil. I think Canada has completely underestimated how much their currency will be beaten. I think its just getting warmed up - I mean - I didn't think the Ruble was going to take it this hard on the chin. I think many in Canada are the same - as they look at $0.83 $USD/$CDN as a bottom. But are we that much better off as a steward of currency as the Russians? Take oil and gas out, there is no manufacturing (to speak of) so, exactly what is it that Canadians export to support the $CDN? Perhaps, the real leg of $CDN selling is yet to come, which will force Poloz to do exactly what the Russians have done - jack rates .....HARD.
Just an opinion, but, I've always thought rate hikes were out of the question until GDP, employment, whatever, were returning to trend. but, now, I htink rate hikes will occur not becauase of something "good" happening, rather they will rise in an effort to defend the currency.
Just thinking out loud. Maybe Yen Cross has some answers.
70 ounces AG. Many thanks short sighted asswipes.
Lots of charts there but none titled bonus chart. Any one of them could of been a bonus chart so why not highlight it. Feels like we're getting less.
It's getting a little ugly in Sheikistan. Lots of metal looking for a new home. If oil doesn't stabilize, one can imagine gold at sub-$900 by New Year's, in the same sort of commodity waterfall oil has evidenced. Toss in the Chinese riverboat gamblers who now have their attention focused on SSE 3000, and maybe Martin Armstrong's 2015 target of $630 is possible.
S&P 630?
I can see that.....
But 666 was such a nice round number.
It's too late to sell, everything.
Shit shows and cronybuses.
Sounds like a new Disneyland ride, eh!
Hop on the train to la-la-land with a final destination of OFF THE CLIFF!
Good and truthful Light/knowledge liberally stolen and shared here that shines the light on the exact answers.:
“Ending the Rothschild Central Banking System is an end of the Criminal activity and worldwide scandals such as LIBOR, national bailouts, and other drug-money laundering activity; money used to buy weapons used in warfare … all devised to impose austerity policies on nations and to continue the flourishing of the Rothschild Banking Empire, otherwise known as the British Empire.
The Federal Reserve Bank is not a US Federal Institution. It is one of many Rothschild Central Banks. There are 28 major financial institutions (banks), in America, associated with the Federal Reserve Bank, and it is this conglomerate banking cartel, otherwise known as Wall St.are the banks that need to go out of business.
A four step solution to ending the Rothschild Banking System in America is …
1) Obama must be removed and replaced with a Real US President:
2) Congress must reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933
3) End the FED by putting the FED in Bankruptcy Receivership and reorganize it to represent a Third National Bank of the United States of America (National Banking)
4 )Issue Credit to invest in large projects that will stimulate the growth of the US physical economy; bailout the the states to keep municipalities functioning; expand the manufacturing industry that promotes Job Creation; provide adjustable mortgages and rates so that American can stay in their homes; reform Health-care and Education to fit and support national policies of scientific and technological progress and other international economic policies that strengthens US relations with Russia, China, India and other nations to develop international projects that builds and strengthens the world’s overall physical economy. We have the resources, we have the skills and talents … this can be done … all is needed from the people of earth is the will to do it.
The “fiscal cliff” that everyone is talking about is a bunch of Bullshit Policies that cut spending and budget cut this and that, which does nothing in contributing to the general welfare of the nation.
What the FOMC decision really means is that the international bailout process, which is less economic policy and more of a political strategy, is getting increasingly out of control, and people are beginning to notice.
Major Banks, Governmental Officials and Their Comrade Capitalists Targets of Spire Law Group, LLP’s Racketeering and Money Laundering Lawsuit Seeking Return of $43 Trillion to the United States Treasury.
NEW YORK, Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Spire Law Group, LLP’s national home owners’ lawsuit, pending in the venue where the “Banksters” control their $43 trillion racketeering scheme (New York) – known as the largest money laundering and racketeering lawsuit in United States History and identifying $43 trillion ($43,000,000,000,000.00) of laundered money by the “Banksters” and their U.S. racketeering partners and joint venturers – now pinpoints the identities of the key racketeering partners of the “Banksters” located in the highest offices of government and acting for their own self-interests."

Why do I think that you and BKBoiler just would NOT get along?
And I didn't even use E-Harmony or Z-Harmony to model that match. ;-)
Ending the rotten Rothschilds will be nearly impossible. Monkeys will be sooner flying out of my butt. The Jewocrats and Zioligarchs are steady in the saddles and holding the reins of the world. They throw us goyim a few crumbs here and there. Giving us the illuson we could participate but in the big game, they are on the top of the shitpile. Now and forever. There would have be a global awakening and pretty much a political will to confiscate the wealth they have accumulated over the centuries. But then what?
"The Jewocrats and Zioligarchs are steady in the saddles and holding the reins of the world." This is true. Plenty of real world evidence confirms this. It is these very same people who now hold a death grip on all of Washington DC, from Obama, to Congress, to CIA, to State Department. The influence of Zion is evident simply by listing the names of our rulers at all levels.
It is they who are pushing the "war party". I don't know a single person in person who favors the rush to war in Easter Europe, but my friends are all no religious or Christian, we have no stake in this coming war. Yet Washington, rules by American and Israeli Jews, do seem to have a mad rush to take America into war.
If I am wrong, please explain away the list of Neocon Jews who not only suggest policy to congress, but who write policy at all levels.
Jack, here's a startling manifestation of this death grip you refer to. Two prime ministerial puppets separated by 10,000 miles give almost identical speeches in their respective parliaments prior to the 2003 Iraqi invasion. And to the gullible Australian/Canadian citizens who naively believe they have independent, sovereign nations controlled and managed by their elected "leaders" ... what say you now? (3 minute video)

a few small fires will eventually turn into a bonfire is just a matter of time till someone actually lights the first match...these assholes are not super human stop giving them so much power... thats the whole fucking problem in a nut shell WE (citzens of the world) KEEP GIVING THEM POWER. these fuckers are always hiding and using puppets. start whacking the puppets and flush them out force them into the corner they have us in, hell hire a fuckin squad of islamonuts and turn the suicidal bombers loose in the opposite direction...fight fire with fire use their own shit against them think and act like they do winning is not un-attainable ... getting people to make an effort or a sacrifice is the problem... All have been brainwashed to believe "Ya can't beat city hall" BULLSHIT burn it down with the fucking rats in it. This is all common logic and if people really gave a shit there would be a considerable fucking army of us against the rat fucks ... I've been doing my part everyday for years ... wake up get off your keyboard and try an educate people forget about the morons ya bitch about target people with brains who just don't have the courage and fore sight that you do... are there any true educators on this forum?? not fucking grade school teachers I mean real "educators" well if not heres the secret... teaching is pushing propaganda to fulfill the oppressors agenda... educating is providing all sides of the situation un-biased , and allowing the student to make his/her own choice thus weeding out the intelligent from the dolts. I could write a book long post on this but will stop here.
The problem with that solution Sub is that 'they' control the media, "education"/indoctrination and have dumbed down the public to an extraordinary degree. Fact is, at least 95% of the population would think what you suggest is madness,
Yeah, it seems that no matter what goes down, once the dust clears they re-emerge, stronger than ever, while everyone else is f*cked over.
If you don't mind my amendment:
A five step solution to ending the Rothschild Banking System in America is …
1) Obama must be removed and replaced with a Real US President:
2) Congress must reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933
3) End the FED by putting the FED in Bankruptcy Receivership and reorganize it to represent a Third National Bank of the United States of America (National Banking)
4 )Issue Credit to invest in large projects that will stimulate the growth of the US physical economy; bailout the the states to keep municipalities functioning; expand the manufacturing industry that promotes Job Creation; provide adjustable mortgages and rates so that American can stay in their homes; reform Health-care and Education to fit and support national policies of scientific and technological progress and other international economic policies that strengthens US relations with Russia, China, India and other nations to develop international projects that builds and strengthens the world’s overall physical economy.
5) End the Police State in USA, End the War on Whistleblowers, End the use of National Security Act to prosecute the Messengers, End the Patriot Act, End the Use of Torture, End Drone Strikes as tools of War, End the War on Terror & Failed States & use of Rumsfeld Doctrine, End Global Eavesdropping & Spying on Citizens & Businesses, ...start cutting funding of Black Programs through a serious audit to evaluate the whole situation... then start declassifying 90% of what the Government & Banks do... this would be accomplished through Simplification & Streamlining ...only classify weapons & US Military Capability/Unit Strength/readiness. DHS should be considered a white elephant and probably disbanded.
I agree, all 5 of your points are correct. Sadly, not one of them will be allowed to happen.
Today it's "SELL MORTIMER, SELL"
Tomorrow it's "TURN THOSE MACHINES BACK ON"
all the pretty colors.
fun times ahead
Print like a Krugman!
Controlled decent...orderly exit. Everyone can't exit the burning fiat building at once!
They might be pushing Putin a bit to close to the edge...
From this we learn that using commodities in a pricing war is much like cutting your extra rare steak with a chainsaw: Its really bloody, you have little control over collateral damage, and no one will really believe you only wanted to cut a better steak for yourself.

A Saudi with an economic shot gun is like Dick Cheney on a hunting trip. The goose that gets cooked may not be the one intended.
Who will blink first? 70 miniscule privately owned fracking companies? Aramco? Or Rosneft?
At this point it is a mexican standoff.
It is showing a lot of potential to become a polish standoff.
gchohns1971, rosneft is sitting on the kara sea. why would rosneft blink? i suggest rosneft scale down the taps and wait. many companies have had their stock price hit, but if they have resources they simply slumber like a bear. the tar sands will be doing the same thing. but alberta/canada is not going to kiss them off.
Oldie but goodie.
A question for some of ZH's traders of experience. Have we ever seen large scale computer HFT algos perform in a down market and a market with external schocks on top of years of upward manipulation? The present markets have to be in territory no man has evr witnessed, no man can possibly hazard a reasoned guess as to what can and might happen.
The markets I grew up with, it was possible to understand, and to work within. I am out, for this very reason, "manipulation at the highest levels, Fed intervention, Money printing, a series of coming geopolitical and energy shocks."
I am watching this with the same curiosity I would if aliens had landed and we were waiting for them to address the world in a speech about what came next.
Broken markets, no price discovery, manipulated markets, liquidity injected markets, banks free to trade with ZIRP loans and depositors account money. Fucking nut house!
Re; The present markets have to be in territory no man has evr witnessed, no man can possibly hazard a reasoned guess as to what can and might happen.
TARP took us to where no man has gone before. Using charts from pre 2008 is a fools errand.
We are living in a full-on fantasy.
If you are awake, then it's clear that each day of normalcy is a gift.
May 6 2010
Jack, what I've never seen before is a nation voting to sweep big spenders out of office, and then the outgoing leftovers spending a trillion point one in one weekend on their way out the door. A moment is coming when it will be too late to do anything further.
#CROmnibus spending bill is a bi-partisan screw job. Paraphrasing George Carlin,
bi-partisan just means an extra large screwing.
Red suit/Blue suit, no difference, they are all puppets to Wall St.
to be contrarian, we are in the sixth year of the great financial experiment, and everyone is sure it is going to fail. this new financial world is more about the limits of policy, than creating economic models, and with global cooperation working at a much higher level we may not be anywhere near those limits. we rail on about the 1%, but the bankers don't own the world, they just get paid well for moving money around and its more than a little irksome that they are writing laws, without ever winning an election. from their perspective when they fail and parts of the global economy implode, and the fed can no longer maintain a stable market without the plunge protection team on steroids. Hussman said something today, about the fischers statement that the fed can trim its balance sheet without affecting interest rates, but such a move might put it at odds with the bankers. so the fed is no longer a bank (we knew that, the fed is a government agency, no longer independent) in 2008 the private sector was creating money faster than the fed, which is part of the reason they crashed the market, (read stockmans latest). short answer, the fed is no longer a bank, this is government versus the banks public money crowding out private money, private money fishing for a public backstop. read ellen browns latest, she thinks that only five banks will survive the next derivative crisis. are the banks going to get nationalized, usg took over the fed, do the statists want the whole thing? could be the banks will crash the market, and take over the fed? then it will be banks and government eye to eye. the banks could win this one, but it would a monumental task, and very messy. in the end is a world of Goldman appointed politicians better or worse than bush and obama? my personal guess is obama will tell Yellen to step on the gas and she won't. thats when things will get interesting
Wall St owns the US govt and both parties. Neoliberal are in charge (ie Obama = Bush II). The real question is does this experiment end in a blood bath like Pinochet's Chile. All the pieces are in place. Fascist Police State; Stasi-like Security State (ie NSA + CIA); Corporate control of the govt.
i make the point that the party of goldman is no worse than the party of bush and obama, (when you say corporate control) i think goldman would find a way to run the general economy, and not just for the financial engineers. (i may be wrong but the socalled representative government has been butthumping this country for six years, the party of goldman cannot really do much worse)
Fed may be turning into an agency rather than a bank, but it sure as hell is not a govt agency, never has been, never will
It's a private institution formed from stake-holding private banks.
It has a contractual obligation to the US govt, and an existential obligation to its private owners.
Nationalizing banks or the FED?
that would only happen if banks truly became the state, and a "nationalization' process is put on as a reverse-repo, or a reverse merger like sham.
A real nationalization would never happen, only a sham one will, and you should dread the day if that happens
its not my personal choice, and the leadership is feckless enough to never manage that, although they somehow think they can threaten russia and china with military action, the bankers have better technology, and they have more assets under their control (consider the pension funds, and while yes they are merely managers we have seen how managers can rehypthecate money that does not belong to them, the usg made a big mistake in handing the banks the power, now they are under their thumb, my op anyway
With HFTs able to execute a zillion trades per nanosecond, it may get interesting how far they're able to gap down past circuit breaker levels, before the circuit breakers can actually kick in.
Yes. Worse than a casino where rules are changed as you play. Explanations come day after from Bloomberg any others; any explanation so long it fills the airtime.
Only at ZH you get some doses of sanity as some smart ones speak their minds and check you.
Still hanging on to charts, flows, fear of the printing presses and adjust algos as you move along. As Jesse Livermore said "trade the tapes" in his days.
Surprised ZH hasn't discussed what happened with VIX today - 2 pt. jumps every 5 minutes. There was an algo going nuts
VIX crosses 20 and a few vol sellers with balls come out shorting vol...what would you like to discuss?
Anyone seeing now the connection to the sudden rise in the dollar?
If you are a connected and/or "Chosen" one, you are going to be able to dump dollar assets after the dollar has been pushed up against the euro and shekel, and before the dollar based "markets" tank on the sheeple.
2015 is going to be a year to remember--"Duck (sell) and cover (physical)."
An American, not US subject.
I hope you've stacked enough spare blades and blade sharpeners.
How about McDonald's sales in the U.S. and Asia?
Talk about a slippery downward slope...
I believe they're thinking of a cracking new business devlopment wheeze. Putting meat in their burgers. Now I don't know if it's true or not.....
movie "The Freshman"
Marlon Brando, as Godfather Carmine, speaking to stockbroker on the phone:
"I don't like it when my Kodak stock goes down. Make it go back up." :-)
Pop
Wait 'till this trickles down into plunging housing markets. Several construction companies in my area are already laying off their "undocumented aliens." The cratering oil prices, rising labor costs and very weak RE demand is gaining momentum. I don't know if Yellen's NIRP will be able to stop the tumble.
If deflation means recession here is a summary of recessions in the USA :
Recessions Since 1950 and Party in WH at Onset
Jul 1953 - May 1954 Republican
Aug 1957 - Apr 1958 Republican
Apr 1960 - Feb 1961 Republican
Dec 1969 - Nov 1970 Republican
Nov 1973 - Mar 1975 Republican
Jan 1980 - July 1980 Democrat
Jul 1981 - Nov 1982 Republican
Jul 1990 - Mar 1991 Republican
Mar 2001 - Nov 2001 Republican
Dec 2007- Jun 2009 Republican
There have been 22 recessions since 1900.
16 have started under Republican leadership, 6 under Democrat leadership and the 2 worst 1929 and now when Repubs had control of WH and congress for more than 8 years (the only times in history)... (posted by a diligent blogger)
Time to call somebody to the helm who can cure recessions and avoid their recurrence .
As the next one looks like a BIG ONE he/she better be well equipped.
Ready to clean the slate and bake a new cake.
That reminds me of a new deal where the ghost of Glass Steagall comes back to Congress.
Wall St officially announced its total ownership of the US govt and both parties (#CROmnibus). The ghost of Glass Steagall ain't coming back.
Well then look for a "someone" amongst those who opposed "Cromnibus"...
Its when the going gets tuff that the tuff get going!
There are some honest congress critters left but not nearly enough to make a difference. Wall St doesn't need to own them all, a majority is all it needs.
How many of those republicans were elected directly after a democrat.
And how long after the democrat left office did it take for the recession to start.
Just because someone is standing in the bank after a robery, does not mean he is the culprit. . . if you get elected and the next day the economy implodes. . . probably not your fault.
It is sad that people still buy in to this red blue team bullshit. Is there no hope?
And with Dems we get wars.
Congress determines spending. Youy should also list which party was controlling Senate and House. Your method is lakcing insight.
Monday. Why does it always happen on Mondays.
Hey....That stock Market Chart looks like the tsx.
When at war Mr,President making the most of it?
Do I have to make a phone call on these trucks? Not one but TWO fucking grain haulers. For $1750? Fucking eh. This is where the smart investment is these days. That is a lot of metal for that price. Those are things are pretty cool. I guess I will never have a 1965 GTO but I might end up with one of these. They might not be perfect but neither am I. They are classics. I might not be able to stop but that is not because I am making a choice it is just that the brakes are out on this rig so get the fuck out of my way. I'll make sure to at least put a very loud horn on these.
The Russian woman around here would not even know what to say.
Update: I did call and left a message. Womanitis Homoelectotrate ssp vaginaitis asked what I was going to do with it. I pointed to my guns and told her a grain hauler can be just as good as those are. That is at least 26000 pounds of steel rolling at you and that is empty weight. You simply can't win against something like that. I told her that I would just pull the son of bitch up on the lawn and spray paint "Fuck You" on the side of the box. The .govs "assault vehicles" will sure as hell feel it when I hit them or what ever crap they have these days. I will shove your rotten corrupt asses right up against the closed down Wal-mart.
Manny you fucking lunatic. If you buy that old beast of a truck I hope you have a fully equipped machine shop to go with it, because it will be easier to machine new parts for it when it breaks down rather than trying to find them on eBag from a guy named "Fritz" who is located on Guam.
Sounds like you're a tad "ornery" tonight, EH?
Just pretend you're an American hockey goalie and there's a 220 lb Canadian player racing at you and about to blow your fucking head off with 105 mph slapshot. But instead of shooting, the Canuck stops right in front of you, grins, and gives you an Atomic Wedgie instead.
Now what was that about buying a piece of shit dump truck?
Lets all pitch in for some krylon to pay for the FUCK YOU paint job.
LOL IR.
I am always ornery Angus except when I talk with you cause the back of my head to hurts from all of the laughter. I told you the other night I was ready to sell and I made my own deals because I a history in sales so I know how to do it. You and I smart ass around and have fun but we are honest. You would not believe what this real estate said to me today. I made all of my phone calls ahead of time going backs for month and I put the deal together because no one else was doing anything. I had laid the foundation for this well ahead of time in case this conversation to went hell which it did. You know me by now AM.
I found a buyer for property in Wisconsin on my own. I do what I say I AM going to do. I was in the Twin Cities by six O'clock this morning to help bid some properties. You know why? Because I said I would be there. Because I can manage to drive 73 miles before anyone else can their asses out of bed. Whatever. If I can beat the fucking assholes who live IN THE Twin Cities from St. Cloud by an hour an half what does that tell you? I intimidate the hell out of every just because I can make it work early. Really early.
I did get a cash offer on that property in Wisconsin. Mommy's deal for me. Even while I was sitting around this morning waiting ro anyoine to show up I had a feeling that real estate deal may not go so well with the REA. I callled everyone again. I explained everything. I know that I put together a good honest deal for everyone. The problems is that thy buyer has relatives who are friends with the REA. I had to be very careful about how to go about it. Fair warning was given.
Finally, I got my touch with my REA and I was civil and I told him that I have a cash offer on the table. He went ballistic on me. "YOU KNOW YOU STILL OWE ME 6%". I said that it can't be like that. Then he went on to tell me that he has done so much work to sell the place and that I owe him. He said "Don't you that there is a showing on Thursday". No fuck no, I had no idea because this guy has not done jack shit. Call me, email me or text me or something. Let me know.
I was actually being very calm because I planned everything that I was going say. I was not the hothead and I WAS the customer. I wanted it to be exactly that way for a reason. He wanted to know who the buyer and and would not tell him. I stated that OK, if you really do have a showing if you can go and sell the property in Thursday and you get your commision and you can walk away happy. I said that I would give him a thousand dollars just to walk away. NO, that was not good enough for him considering he never showed the property one single time in a year and half. This asshole came an stuck a sign in my yard and now he is telling how much work he did? Now I am starting go ZH and my blood pressure is rising. I know a guy in real estate whom I trust who looked at it for me and I trust but he is not in that particular market. My fired told me that this is trying to fuck me. OK that.
This REA agent pressed me further, "I want to know who your buyer is." I said "I am NOT telling you". He said, I will just delist you right now. Why in the fuck should tell this son of bitch anything anymore? I asked when our contract was over and it 12/31. He asked what I was going to do. I will sign the paperwork on 1/2-2015 and now you will get nothing. I thought I was the customer here. He said that it was my fault but what is not not my fault His repsonse was that "I will find out who it is and list them as protected buyers".
That attitude was just going to far. I am not the right person to messing when it comes to comes to this. I like laughing about stuff that we make a joke about but that something like is way to far. I told him him I need to see that and he said he wiould that information to me by the end of business. Of course I did not get it. On top of this he's a school board member and I am that guy who reads the minutes in the back of the local rag before I use it to start a fire. I already have half of the State of Wisconsin pissed off at him. My brother is ready to go fight club right now and my bro is not one you want on your ass and is a an experienced elected official that sat on a finance commitee. I told to hold for now.
I do not say things that I won't do. I think I already kicked this guy's lazy ass. I did talk with the guy the 1966 truck, I just want one of those trucks. Yes AM I know the 345 as not the best engine ever but it had more to do with the Holley carb. You might like this one. I talked to that guy. He told me had it a rebuilt 366 engine in it. Umm, that engine would be one that be hard to find parts for. He wants to trade for a fifth wheel trailer or cash. Whatever, I think I will drive Hyundai shitbox to Canadian goose land and get your ass out of Calgary so that we can fix up the rarest of all Ford engines together. I have tools but you should bring yours too because that Ford 366 must be metric.
That other son of a bitch never called me back so I'm not sure about that deal. I called twice. The wife thinks I am nuts. Am I? Once you get that much steel moving at a decent rate of speed who will stop it? How? That is probably Canada's fault becasue it will be another one of those metric brake lines.
Bless you Angus. I think I would to build the 366 Ford with you and then blame you for all problems. I know you would shove it right back me. I ask less in life everyday but that is a cool truck. There is really is nothing better haning with a buddy and fixing on old vehicle. Especailly so if it pisses of the woman around the place.
Tell your REA to take a quick skiing vacation in Banff. I'll look after the rest.
I got your back Manny!
Judging from the last five years, putting it all together and considering the "experts" I've listened to on CNBC, I'd have to say YeeeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaa M"Fers BTFD.
We sold some folks.
Talk about an energy "BOOM!"
And as Jim Morrison of The Doors wrote many decades ago, "There's blood in the streets in the town of Chicago. There's blood on the rise it's following me."
How true those words resonate today. The recent sell off in crude oil is the proverbial canary in the coal mine.
And the Banksters know it.
Good, I hope they die of nervous diarrhea. I can't think of anyone that deserves it more.
No. I hope they die by way of public execution having been dragged through the streets by the enraged and impoversihed mob.

We seem to have reached the point where there's only one way left to settle all the differencies!
"we are in the sixth year of the great financial experiment, and everyone is sure it is going to fail. this new financial world is more about the limits of policy, than creating economic models, and with global cooperation working at a much higher level we may not be anywhere near those limits "
this premise has more holes in it than emmenthaler cheese
a good day for the BIS, 10's, if ot 100's of billions of dollars were churned, BIS collected their vig, people may of sold, but they didn't get out of this zero sum game.
you personally have to decide, if you won or lost, on a day to day basis.
i'm not a day trader, don't have a broker, not financially educated, zh keeps me financially updated, on what could happen good or bad, which is invalueable to me.
i've worked serveral jobs, starting 1966, part-time min. wage $1.35 per hr..
married in 1972, bad timing, we both worked full-time, rented an old house, the first 7 yrs. having a oil fired furnace, the price of oil increased 1400%, it was a very expensive budget item, needless to say, not a big fan of geo-political schemes, or opec.
i worked 42yrs. before heath problems put me into retirement, the wife has 44 yrs. and still going, of course we were sold on the 401k"s, not our best move as we can see now.
businesses pushed them, (the irs gave them an incentive to), pre-tax dollars, they didn't have to match ss, medicare, medicaid, not the only reason these entitlements are in trouble, but it didn't help.
me, and my wife have enough for ourselves, my problem is getting my children, and grandchildrens money out of what i'm covenced is a flawed, soon to be failed ponsi scheme.
Somewhat similar position to my own. Glad you're ok but as with myself you have yo wonder about what the future holds for our kids and grand kids,,,,
give me gime $13-$14 silver. plssssssssssssssssss.......... I need to fill my new vault.
