Does QE4 = IQ4?
(o/t) Austria joins the list of countries seeking to repatriate their gold.
[According to] Peter Mooslechner, executive director of the Österreichische Nationalbank, Austria asked to get its gold back as part of a general court order in the country, looking to ship back around £3.5 billion worth of gold from the Bank of England over the next five years.
Data dependent? I married one!
Here's some fucking data the Fed can choke on. Fucking scumbags.
COLLAPSE OF THE WESTERN FINANCIAL SYSTEM: Shown In One Silver ChartOr just BTFD
Nah, this is how they do it:

Except who really believes the SPX won't break 2100 soon. Moreover, who really believes the FED will raise rates when it does?
Oh wait, the colours are reversed. This is truly brilliant! Hahaha! Literally made my week. Boom get rekd Janet!
Yep. More likely a large QE4 than a rate hike.
The Federal Reserve loves flooding the market with credit.
They'll keep raising the debt ceiling. It will be over $30 trillion before you know it.
Infinite printing and debt until the rest of the world declines accepting the dollar.
'Humorous' in the sense that within sarcasm lies truth ---
We seem to be a tipping point. So far we have been able to cover the deficiencies of the world's economics with more money (ie more debt). Now it seems that may be causing the dreaded rise in prices.
Inflation of course occurs when the money first pushes against assets. That energy is going into the S&P. If it leaks into food ....well thats bad optics as they say.
Ultimately we will see the dollar punished with a lower value. We got away with excess printing for a very long time because the central banks and speculators of the world held our dollar as reserves or investments. Now, however, central banks have stopped accumulating (China and the Saudis are unloading) and only the speculators are buying. When these pension plans, hedge funds and others who look to the bond market as a way to safely store dollars realize that bonds will crash without strenous effort on the part of the Fed...Lookout. It is not that the Fed can't continue to buy worthless shit for cash, they can. It is that the cash may come to be seen as a problem itself.
We are afterall a country that has promised the world trillion in wealth but there is no way that wealth can ever be delivered. Someone is going to get very little and many will get NOTHING.
He who panics first, panics best.
Hey. that scared me.
Yellow headed for red for Q4 until the corporate bonuses are given, then yellow in Q1, then Green in Q2 after a dismal retail/holiday becomes clear & getting through the election cycle unless we enthrone "Obama"; God I hope that never happens but then again it can be worse and probably will. Bill Clinton looks like a "poster child" on morality; that is how bad it is.
Beware the sucking sound of the Black Hole of ZERO RATES.... The FED has repeated the same mistake for 3 decades
Below 1700 NIRP
Five question central bank job interview:
Q1: can you sit around and convince people you know what your are doing when you actually do nothing for years on end?
Q2: can you draw a six figure salary while you are doing nothing if that qualifies you for a seven figure salary when you finish or when such a vacancy can be found by a financial instituion that has benefited from your complete inertia?
Q3: have you failed in every investment banking endeavour you have ever held?
Q4: can you eat michelin 5 star food in 7 star hotels in the world's wealthies capitals without vomiting, if we promise to keep the rabble away from you?
Q5: will you do whatver it takes to preserve your job and the jobs of your fellow central bankers?
BELOW 1600 ::: CERTAINTY.
And soon, likely this year.
If not November.
This is not humor. This is exactly what they are trying to accomplish - to prevent markets from either falling too far or runnig away too fast. To give them credit, so far the Fed has been very successful with this plan.
