Mizuho's Ricchiuto Wipes The Floor With Deutsche's Lavorgna: "Why Do I Even Bother?"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The last time Mizuho's Chief Economist Steve Ricchiuto was on CNBC, we suspected he would never be invited back. However, today, he dared to unleash the truthiness of the US economy, debating 'truth' with none other than Deutsche Bank's meteoroconomist Joe Lavorgna. As soon as Ricchiuto stated unequivocal 'facts' about growth, productivity, and earnings; the smiling Lavorgna started talking over him to which Ricchiuto blasted "why bother... why do I even bother?" and Lavorgna fell back to the "well he has been short the market for 400 points" argumnet which Ricchiuto rebuffed aggressively...

One of these guys is thoroughly pissed off... the rest are smiling.

 

The fireworks begin around 3:00 (but watch the intro for some facts)

 

As a reminder, this was Ricchiuto's last appearance...148 seconds of awkward uncomfortable truthiness...

 

While Steve had a number of hard to hear quotes for the CNBC anchors - such as:

"There is no acceleration in underlying economic activity," and

 

"There's this wrong concept that I keep on hearing about in the financial press about the acceleration in economic growth... It's not happening!"

 

A stunned Simon Hobbs rebuffs, "That's a long list of non-ideal situations we find ourselves in," to which Ricchiuto snaps back "and we can keep on going!"

 

"After a string of dismal data on durable goods, retail spending, and inventories, we get a good jobs number and everyone saying the economy's good - it's not good!"

* * *

And here is why Joe Lavorgna gets paid the big bucks...

It's totally surreal when most talking heads/economists including that fucking liar and moron Lavorgna use 100% made up numbers as basis for their entire work and belief system. The whole economy and 99% of the people involved look like a Monty Python sketch. What a fucking mess.

MASSIVE FREQUENCY LIST!!!

With all the talk of "fun camps for adults" and troops runnng around people's back yard, we thought now might be a smart time to make sure our SIGINT is all up to date and good.  Here is a massive list of frequencies for y'all to plug into your scanner or shortwave receiver.  Make sure you have lots of extra batteries too!

A few notes about the list:

* This was compiled from recent and trusted sources, not lists floating around the internet since 1994 for radio systems long since sent to the landfill.

* Many government agencies share frequencies and INTEROP channels, so the list may not be 100% on who is doing the talking.

* The list is for national frequencies, obviously we cannot list for every LEA in every county and town.

* Many frequencies listed as business are also used by GOV.

* A P25 capable scanner is best, assume that the frequencies are APCO-P25 but you may be able to pick up analog FM conversations.

* Most of the important P25 traffic will be encrypted.  Most INTEROP will not be and chatter is still chatter.

* Canadian frequencies have been included for those in Canada and close to the border.

* Even though analog TV and analog paging has largely been phased out, frequencies have been included both for historical reference and because old gear can be turned on post-SHTF.

* You can achieve faster scan rates by entering frequencies from lowest to highest and not randomly (eg. 154.100, 154.200, 154.300, etc)

* If you only have a scanner, just pay attention to the left-most column.  The second column is for repeater inputs and the third is for tones.

* Remember when to practice radio silence and remember that Charlie is listening!

You can't question the experts! How dare you.

Everything down is a sign to buy the dip. Every thing up is only a confirmation that its getting better. Everything in the middle is a sign of life...yet another opportunity to buy.

When you're selling, there is no down side. The worst that could happen is a crash in the markets (like I give one flying fuck about the markets) and historically they always come back...in five or ten or twenty years. So what's the worry?

+1 for the Beavis reference.

So I watched the vid and agree with the fat guy and think the the Geithner doppleganger is a fucking moron but the real problem is that most of the mentally challenged population will take away the exact opposite from the clip and think The Douche Bank fella was the boss.

Kinda like the same way the Empty Suit who sleeps in The White House can barely put together a couple sentences much less a coherent thought and yet, AND YET even those who oppose everything the man does will go to great lengths to say how fucking intelligent he is.

So when Lasagna, Loboringa or whatever his alias is makes statements like "Stocks peak right before the onset of the next downturn." he is viewed as some sort of fucking guru.

The tweet list is fucking priceless. But then Winter is a new phenomemon so...

Administration steps in, and there are no exclusive rights for anybody; nobody wins. So I made a decision and it was... wrong. It was a bad call, Ripley, it was a bad call.

Ripley: Bad call?

[Ripley grabs Burke by his vest, shoves him against a wall]

Ripley: These people are *dead *,Burke! Don't you have any idea what you have done here? Well, I'm gonna make sure they nail you right to the wall for this! You're not gonna sleaze your way out of this one! Right to the wall!

I have been using Lavorgna as a contrary indicator for years he is the ideal "talk my book" perma bull. He is the epitome of a hack. Who knows how long the ponzi scheme goes on but today we had Yellen leting the cat out of the bag "stocks are high" that my droogs is the tipoff that in a short time we go down 10-20% easy. Last time bernanke did the same to cover his butt later it was not immediate but when it hapeened it was shit storm and this time will be no different.

I can't fucking stand pricks who learned to "win" debates by talking constantly over an adversary. I see that all the time these days with certain types of people in business and politics. It's the moronic, "He who shouts loudest and drowns out the other guy wins". It's such an obvious cheap trick I wonder how they could possibly think it is a worthwhile tactic.

Joe correctly indicated that rising 10 Year yields in the 3.5 -4% range would be a problem for the economy. Problem is, he doesn't think it's going to happen... he's wrong.

People are so morally bankrupt; they can't even have a civilized discussion...we have reached the "point of no return" as a nation (people) and world.  Since we have turned our backs on the fixed moral standards, given to us by the Being who created all beings, that are given for our good; we have rejected them and the result is He has rejected us and who can blame Him?  No one successfully.  We are broken and beyond repair; each and every one of us from the top of the heap to the bottom.

To the thumbs downer; truth and reality are one in the same....come back to reality or keep your head in the sand.  There is one Hope; His name is Jesus Christ.  Spend 5 minutes thinkg...oh never mind; what's the point...be damned.

Because there is no such being, by calling upon the moral authority of it, you actually create the deepest core of the deepest corruption.

The lie that there is a god is the biggest lie that ever was told and it taught everyone else that to lie is to live and to lie a lot.

And they are.

Please don't use Jesus as a scapegoat. He realized 'Truth' and tried to parlay it. All the BS about 'saviour' and such being 'literal' is ignorance and fear's friend. Those things are 'metaphysical'. No one returning from death coming back to help you. Understand his teaching and forget the BS. My guess is he would reject 100% of those who call themselves 'Christians' today....

Everyone knows from experience that markets go up and down. So, when your market forecasts are always bullish, simple logic proves you must be wrong at least half the time. And, when it comes to bullshit, it doesn’t matter whether the glass is half full of it or half empty. You’re still full of it. Joe might as well paste a sign on his forehead that says so. Seems like he’s got plenty of room for that.
