Gold and silver will be attacked soon enough.  Gold is the enemy of the Fed and its infinite fiat.

The last honest Fed chairman explains:

Paul Volcker: Gold Was the Enemy

“Gold was the enemy to me because that was a speculative vehicle while I was trying to hold the system together. [The speculators] were on the other side.”

Then and now, the gold price is viewed as the inverse price of the confidence in the system. If gold is high, it usually means something is amiss. In Volcker’s time, the high inflation and budget deficits of the 70s propelled gold from a low of $35 before 1970 to a high of $668 in 1980.

Funny - Nixon used that same terminology when during his 1971 speech, he referred to 'international currency speculators' as the root cause of his decision to instruct secretary Connally to drop the link to gold.

"Stocks slip" The relief rally in equities will be powered mostly by EM and Asian markets on overnight futures as the USD does not wipe them out.   Then, of course, the bullish fund managers pumping for EOQ performance at end of month.

That ten year might as well go to 1% and get it overwith. It's headed there anyway.

The powers that be seem to have a pretty sad batting average right now:

1. They cannot get Assad out
2. They are stuck with the Saud and low oil prices are working too slowly to cause turmoil
3. They cannot start a race war in the US
4. Both people and cops are wising up to the attempt to turn each against the other
5. China caught them in the act of trying to destroy the Chinese markets
6. They cannot bait Iran into a war
7. Their instigator immigrants are being defused
8. ISIS is being exposed as a western mercenary army
9. People realize the markets are a fraud and won't be trapped
10. People cannot stand Hellery and Bush
11. People are turning away from MSM in droves
12. Russia is playing along, but dragging its feet

The longer it takes them, the more will slip through their fingers and the harder it will be.

Good list. I'm still amazed they can cite the jobless rate as a positive thing, as a fact with a straight face while at the same time more then 94 million Americans out of work and that number soaring.

 

Only the seriously stupid people beleive the BLS numbers anymore but there's lots of stupid people.

Vix is a good product, but I wouldn't stockpile it. One jar goes a long way. I just don't get a cold that often, you know?

10 year yield of 2%. 30 year 3%. Probably -5 to -10% after real inflation. If rates raise they lose value. If rates don't raise they'll be more inflation and their denomination will eat their value. Who is buying these things?

Today’s DOW trading route shows a sharp knee jerk decline, likely when investors learned there would be no rate hike. Instantly, the DOW recovered, probably with Fed buying to produce normalcy. The lesson, IMO, is that the Fed’s decision is not to raise or keep interest rates at near zero but to decide if the stored labor and sound money in the United States is worth anything at all. It is now available for the taking by Wall Street.

After nine years of ZIRP, price discovery is dead and the Federal Reserve is losing it's credibility; soon it won’t be able to produce and those investors saw it.

Apparently, Americans will have to become outlaws and fight the law to get economic justice.

Fed's credibility= ZH credibilty

 

one can't predict any economic data and is unable to hike rates even though it said it would 

the other couldnt predict the hipe in stocks and told everyone to go short on markets 4 years ago and also predicted a spike in vix and in the VXX etf - also becasue of short covering  instead we got a crash- yes total crash in vix and vxx.

 

both of them are total failure!

Tyler is like the Honey Beaver - he doesn't give a shit.  And, unlike the Fed, he comes right out and tells you not to go by what he says.
