Four US Firms With $4.8 Billion In Debt Warned This Week They May Default Any Minute
The last 3 days have seen the biggest surge in US energy credit risk since December 2014, blasting back above 1000bps. This should not be a total surprise since underlying oil prices continue to languish in "not cash-flow positive" territory for many shale producers, but, as Bloomberg reports, the industry is bracing for a wave of failures as investors that were stung by bets on an improving market earlier this year try to stay away from the sector. "It’s been eerily silent," in energy credit markets, warns one bond manager, "no one is putting up new capital here."
The market is starting to reprice dramatically for a surge in defaults...
Eleven months of depressed oil prices are threatening to topple more companies in the energy industry. As Bloomberg details,
Four firms owing a combined $4.8 billion warned this week that they may be at the brink, with Penn Virginia Corp., Paragon Offshore Plc, Magnum Hunter Resources Corp. and Emerald Oil Inc. saying their auditors have expressed doubts that they can continue as going concerns. Falling oil prices are squeezing access to credit, they said. And everyone from Morgan Stanley to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. is predicting that energy prices won’t rebound anytime soon.
The industry is bracing for a wave of failures as investors that were stung by bets on an improving market earlier this year try to stay away from the sector. Barclays Plc analysts say that will cause the default rate among speculative-grade companies to double in the next year. Marathon Asset Management is predicting default rates among high-yield energy companies will balloon to as high as 25 percent cumulatively in the next two to three years if oil remains below $60 a barrel.
“No one is putting up new capital here,” said Bruce Richards, co-founder of Marathon, which manages $12.5 billion of assets. “It’s been eerily silent in the whole high-yield energy sector, including oil, gas, services and coal.”
That’s partly because investors who plowed about $14 billion into high-yield energy bonds sold in the past six months are sitting on about $2 billion of losses, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
And the energy sector accounts for more than a quarter of high-yield bonds that are trading at distressed levels, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Barclays said in a Nov. 6 research note that the market is anticipating “a near-term wave of defaults” among energy companies. Those can’t be avoided unless commodity prices make “a very large” and “unexpected” resurgence.
“Everybody’s liquidity is worse than it was at this time last year,” said Jason Mudrick, founder of Mudrick Capital Management. “It’s a much more dire situation than it was 12 months ago.”

BOND CRISIS! BOND CRISIS! BOND CRISIS!
RAH RAH RAH!
LETS GO BOND CRISIS!
Maybe we're all over-thinking this. Maybe this IS the place the next debt crisis starts.
It's an obvious bubble, it's DEEPLY tied in to the banks, has been rehypothecated, repackaged and resold to "investors" and now it's backing up on them mere months or WEEKS after it was sold. By itself, not big enough to bring the system down, but as a TRIGGERING EVENT, possibly enough to start the big boys thinking about "counterparty risk" once again.
This is sounding awfully familiar. (Subprime mortgages)
Maybe we should stop looking at the size of this problem in and of itself and start thinking more about how it's interconnected to the rest of the debt ponzi. Maybe we've gotten so jaded we're staring the obvious right in the face and denying it's existence.
It has been my belief for many months now that there is a decent chance that the next crisis would start in the junk bond markets due to oil prices dropping. I have been saying 12-18 months after the price initially dropped. Maybe out to 24 months. That is assuming, of course, that the price of oil does not go back up.
Leverage works both ways, BITCHEZ!
Easy solution, issue bonds and have the ECB buy them at par...
This is canary in coal mine. What economy is so weak unstable that decrease in energy price is causing of collapse!? Economy is built on available resource of energy, labor, and material. Thank you Mr. Bankster and Mrs. Politician for decouple economic reaility.
Obama will not finish his second term! Current Events Linked to Ancient Biblical Prophecy!

Why do you come here just to tease us?
This is going to trigger a bond crisis which moves to a stock crash. There will be a panic while the big boys short it all and make a killing. When it bottoms out they will pick up assets on the cheap. Same as in 2008-2009. Wash, rinse and repeat. Disgusting!!
I'm sure the shadow QE program can easily bail out all too big to fails. Janet Fellen will become the buy of last resort for everything there is, even muni-bonds just like was said earlier today about the Euro CB buying Euro muni-bonds.
There will be no real fail as long as these CB scumbags have the CTRL-P buttons at their beck and call.
Fed rate hike in December???!!!???
It is to laugh. Anyone who actually believes that would happen is just Charlie Brown thinking this time he's actually going to kick the football.
LOL.
This has been EXACTLY the plan all along. The same two vampires named, MS & GS, have underwritten vast amounts of junk debt at 5% yields to Granny and Gramps who in turn were forced to reach for that yield by Ben & Janet.
Now, under the premise of 'deflation', MS & GS are, with JPM of course, beating the living snot out of every REAL asset. Once successful, they will acquire all said real assets for pennies on the dollar ... along with XOM and the rest of their crony TPP-sucking pals.
And, if it all fails? Off to the bug-out villas in New Zealand, complete with panic rooms and vaults of heavy.
Soon there will be nary a peasant left.
Suckers!
link cause/effect = qe/centrals banks. moar fucking bubblenomics cause common people pain. fucking sickening and disgusting shit...
Very Robust!
" Yes we can! "
You say it over and over, for ever and ever, it may actually happen. So many triggers and NO bullets!
You have to hand it to the Illuminati. We've been talking about another crisis for almost ten years. So far, the powers-that-be are keeping all the balls in the air. Them boys must be brilliant.
Think of all the Suckers who bought "Peak Oil Theory". LOL
At least I tried to warn most of them.
"Peak Oil Theory"
Could you please explain why it is necessary to keep drilling new wells, if the old ones don't stop producing.
The Hubbert curve is an approximation of the production rate of a resource over time. It is a symmetric logistic distribution curve, often confused with the "normal" gaussian function.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubbert_curve
The US can EASILY handle a rate hike in December..as long as it's around .125%. Any more than that would be politically unpleasant, as the minions are supposed to vote for Hillary next year. Everything is awesome!
Save America First - I think your CharlienBrown ananlogy is spot on.
"Obama will not finish his second term! Current Events Linked to Ancient Biblical Prophecy!"
If this is biblical prophecy, are the jews excused from participation? I hope they get to play collapse too but thought I would check with you before getting my hopes up.
If America is mentioned in Bible prophecy at all, it's in one fairly obscure reference to some distant nations that are pretty powerless during a war that's going on just north of Israel. America is not Babylon from the perspective of those prophecies, but making a buck by stretching religious teachings has been around for a few thousand years and isn't leaving anytime soon.
Now if you do want to get a good idea from the old prophecies, it's to beware the man offering world peace if you just follow his government, religion, and cashless economy based around a mark of loyalty. Helping the rebels who refuse is a good idea too.
It's not just the oil. The oil is convenient to point at because the US can pretend that they got SA to cause the drop in order to stick it to Russia. Makes the US look really smug. Meanwhile the truth is, copper down, zinc down, iron ore down, you name it down. Baltic Dry almost crashing, soft commodities gone to hell. I guess SA can also influence these markets as well.
This is just another Black Swan in the ever increasing flock.
Glencore is still clipping wires trying to disarm the debt bomb of it´s own making. Greece will be back in the news again soon because it can´t pay it´s upcoming debt obligations. The ME is still an inferno. Europe is flying apart. One nation after the next has exploding debt levels and unfunded liabilities. Fukushima is still blasting radiation into the Pacific Ocean. Each of these Black Swans (and there are many more) are capable of starting the Great Reset either outright, or can start the domino chain leading to the same event.
The world financial system is a total disaster. These four businesses in the article are consequently just the early casualties. They will be joined by many more.
fockewulf190 - We should start a ZH deadpool. I really like Venezuela as a winner. Only China can bail them out.

I'm sure it has something to do with the translator. /s!
It's all Bullshit!!!
Reporting from Houston.
They have doubled the Hotel capacity in Houston in the last 6 years, and STILL rates are THREE TIMES what they were 8 years ago. I bring a lot of consultants into Houston and my travel costs have gone full retard...I don't get it. The industry is "bracing" for the coming storm....well no one told Houston. Sure, there has been layoffs but the malls continue to be packed, and traffic is far worse than it has ever been....EVER.
LIVING in Houston ..
6th generation Texan ..
Resident of both Houston and Austin since 1980 ..
It is not just Houston. It is the entire state of Texas. There are jobs here. There is hiring. However, there is not enough jobs to go around ..
Everyone is coming to TEXAS for SAFE HARBOR ..
ExxonMobile in The Woodlands is on hiring freeze, since they got kicked out the Kara Sea and have lost billions. Royal Dutch Shell the same since closing shop on the north slope of Alaska. Only what left is viable is in West Texas (fracking, etc.) I was laid off from my part time IT job at a very cash rich private high school in Tomball, last March, just down the street, Baker Hughes laid off half of its workforce ..
What you see in Houston, and most of Texas is still a grand facade ..
good post, yea the '85 crisis is setting up again. opec got it together and caused major pain, this cause is different but will be painful. Texas was hit hard then and we have the carpetbaggers to deal with now.
We need to kick the carpet baggers out. The good news is they will leave once the jobs stop because there is no welfare here.
Carpet baggers are there to pick through the bones and they will come later, I think you mean yankee's,
Ok then locusts leaving the decimated wasteland. Bringing their green bullshit to the land of endless windmills and recycling. Back the f__k off, we got this, fix your own mess. Activist parasites pouring in. Assimilate.
We dont like all the barbecue smoke(whiney ass voice). Yea i'm hearing that shit...
"... Houston, and most of Texas is still a grand facade .."
Lived in Houston '91 to '96 and Austin '96 to '13 Only thing bigger in Texas is the BullShit!
I graduated from UT in 2000 and still have UT calling me and asking me to donate money to the school,
Full disclosure, I still have a love/hate relationship with Houston ...I'm intrigued by the mystique of the city and simutaneouly repulsed by the pollution. It's a toxic wasted dump ...some of the most beautiful women ever,
You seem to be ahead of the curve on your thinking. I also wondered HOW MUCH $$ was tied up in these bonds? Enough to strain liquidity even more? At least I am not the only person who wondered about this. I just had a guy razz me a week or so back-- he remembered I was questioning what would happen when all these bonds came due.
I thought it would happen sooner, but I was wrong.
China is papering over thier commodities crash and exporting ourrageous overcapacity into the rest of the world.
The United States isn't. -Well, at least not yet..
This is economic warfare and although the big visible battle is in oil there is mad violence in a slew of commodities and products sectors includeing steel, aluminum, plastics.
It's called dumping and it is one of the ways that the boogeyman of deflation is doistered upon us.
Prices for commodities and goods produced in the US that are sold in the US merely circulate the currency reslulting in healthy monetary velocity. Dumping foreign goods into the domestic markets caused prices to drop drastically and damages domestic production, domestic debt dynamics, leaches currency out of the domestic markets resulting in a collapse in monetary velocity, and ultimately causes unemployment and economic malaise.
China is a command and control economy. It's imports are being subsidized and in some cases fully funded by phony debt aka money printing by the Chi-Coms. Nothing remotely resembling captialistism can compete with the economic warfare of unrestricted counterfeited production and export merchantilism.
The question to ask is: WHY is the Obama Administration allowing the Chinese Government to print money specifically to fund production of materials for dumping into US markets when the obvious outcome of allowing this is the destructon of the domestic commodities and manufacturing base and the domestic economy that this commodities and manufacturing base supports?
"The question to ask is: WHY is the Obama Administration allowing the Chinese Government to print money specifically to fund production of materials for dumping into US markets when the obvious outcome of allowing this is the destructon of the domestic commodities and manufacturing base and the domestic economy that this commodities and manufacturing base supports?"
Is that really a serious question?
Let's see... if someone else is debasing their currency faster then you are, then your shirt looks less stinky, thus strong dollar. No domestic manufacturing base left to destroy, as the US is way down the road of being a producer to become a consumer of iCrap, and the cheaper the iCrap the happier the iSlaves are, and as long as China prints faster, US can print just a cunt-hair less fast and maintain the illusion that USTs (US Toilet notes?) have some value in relative respect to RimB (sounds like a variant of a dirty sanchez!), and the freeshit army can keep getting new iCrap and thus continue to vote for MOAR.
simple, right?
So, can we conclude that the US effort to maintain the PETRO dollar, which provides GREAT strength to the dollar and world status...at the cost of the US manufacturing base since we are priced out of the international labor market from a competitive perspective? (This is a real question fo mine...)
Has China really stolen our manufacturing base? I'm not an expert on these issues....I'm not even highly informed...but there's not much I buy that is "manufactured" and made in China. Sure, 2/3rd of everything sold at every mall in America is from China....and 90% of everything from Wal-Mart (minus TVs and food) but....America's problem in manufacturing started 40 years ago when the Chinese were still full blown third world.
You want to see a reversal in manufacturing? Start milling rail for 50,000+ miles. Then overhaul the electrical grid ..
Trickle down effect?

Railway stocks would have to significantly exceed the replacement value of their assets in order for the market to commit serious new investment to the sector. As it stands, its not hard to pick up railway stocks at 1/2 to 1/3rd of their long-term replacement cost.
Even with all the stuff the 1%ers sent overseas, so as to line their pockets with big salaries and bonuses while doing less work for it, the US was the #1 manufacturer in the world until China passed us in 2010. We make plenty of planes, trains, automobiles, machinery, construction materials, steel, auto parts, and so much more but most of the small stuff and electronics is gone. Can always tell someone who does not shop at Walmart by their comments about Walmart sells only stuff made in China or your 90% comment. It is far less than that. A great many of those overseas industries flourished because US manufacturers, such as cars and electronics, were making junk so consumers gravitated to foreign products. Plenty of people have commented in many places that they haven't owned an American car for over 40 years and will not consider buying one because they got burned so bad and still hold a grudge.
I still like my Ford trucks. Fix or Repair Daily: but at least I can work on them. Thank God I learned mechanics at a young age via Triumph and BSA ownership.
yoooo Debt, save me some..""""""""llllllllllllll
Don't forget, low oil prices affect sovereign wealth funds too, they're already in process of drawdowns to support budget holes / social services. I think this will actually be one of the prime mechanisms for contagion into unrelated sectors.
Except that there is a lot of money in energy and always a demand. Already some big players are moving to aquire some of these smaller and in trouble players. There will be loses (how can there not be), but it isn't a subprime. Subprime included people who could never qualify for loans and never paid. In MLP's and the like I don't think there is any of that.
IIRC, Karl Denninger went over a little trick that seemed to be endemic among the MLPs. Borrow money and pay dividends.
For instance, look at the debt picture here:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=KMI+Key+Statistics
KMI is a C corp now but was an MLP until recently.
Might want to check into what the traffic is through the pipelines. Demand down soon equals transmission down.
Plenty of the stock buybacks and aquisitions by all kinds of corporations was done with borrowed money even if they had plenty of cash to do it. One consequence of rates being so low. Buy back stock to line the pockets of big investors and managment instead of investing in their business.
"This is sounding awfully familiar. (Subprime mortgages)"
I'm sure that just as Hank Paulson had declared that the subprime housing issue "was contained", so will his predecessor on this matter.
Bank lending in this space is about to crater. The energy guys I'm talking to aren't even discussing the redetermination rates, because their banks are going to shut down reserve based lending entirely in Q4 to these firms, switching to pure cash flow underwriting. And I'm not talking about dinky banks either, I'm talking about the biggest corporate lenders in the country will be turning off the spigot.
It's time to package up some EBS for the Fed to buy.
Energy Backed Securities
Bankers can lend billions to these companies like the NINJA loans for the housing bubble. These will be NISBSCFS bonds. No income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement loans. These will be at 2% interest. The banks can turn around and sell them to the Fed. The losses disappear in the Fed balance sheet just like Maiden Lane I & II.
add subprime car and student loans and you have a real issue.

fed raising rates, dollar moving higher, oil exporting countries pumping like crazy, oil on the cusp of breaking-down thru 40.00 should definitely help this
Gee, nobody wants to put their dick in that particular blender, I wonder why???
Because junk that looks like a partially chewed 3 Musketeers Bar is not considered attractive.
I upvoted you for the colorful metaphor.
i can just see janets next excuse not to raise "we need to take rates negative in-order to preserve high oil prices"
i swear democrats have a serious screw loose: they complain about the high price of stuff yet they vote-in those who want to keep the price of stuff elevated
Both Ds and Rs do what the highest bidder wants them to do. The only difference is what they bitch about when pandering to their voter bases.
Remember, they're competing crime families. They both pull roughly the same shit, screech at each other for it, but if you don't pay your protection fee, they'll send the thugs in to collect.
dude, i give u a ^^^ for "competing crime families"
lol - good 1 mon'
givin me flashbacks to my roots in da bronx :)
I still remember Romney's son getting on the radio back in 2008 railing on about how Republican voters needed to have loyalty to the party. Not the USA, not the American people, but the fucking party. I was thouroughly disgusted.
The "highest bidder" isnt the peolpe their supposed boss, its the printing press...any questions?
Thats called treason ...right?
RIPS
It's the lowest form of treason.
They haven't changed allegiance to another country or over to some compelling religious or ideological construct.
..It's just that their prices have been met.
They have been bought into betraying their country, their people, their oaths, etc..
And what you probably don't know about Romney and Dr. Paul ..

The only reason that prices are perceived as high is because of unsound monetary, trade, and taxation policies.
IF your wages/compensation kept pace with perceived price inflation you wouldn't care much.
High prices are not a problem if wages are high and taxes are low.
There was a time when the US Gov't funded itself via tariffs. Ridiculously cheap oil or steel could be shipped to the US and .GOV would slap a tax on it to keep US industries from being hollowed out by foreign govenments employing their printing presses to increase production capacity for the explicit purpose of keeping their peasants at work generating exports goods..
These prices aren't natural, they are contrived.
The Chi-Coms are rolling huge volumes of bad debt to keep their export machine churning at higher and higher output capacities.
Saudi Arabia is borrowing money even as it drops the price of oil.
These are both examples of nations printing or borrowing in order to subsidize their output with the explicit purpose of depressing prices in foreign markets in attempts to out print/borrow their competitors since they simply cannot compete on level terms of actual production costs, delivery costs, and/or quality...
IF Saudi or China could win on the simple basis of the quality and deliverability of their products there would be no printing and borrowing to fund a capacity/pricing war and no capacity/pricing war..
It really is the same thing the Rockafellers did with Standard Oil that was countered with the Marshall and Clayton acts.
Foreign governments are lowering the cost of their exports to put local business out of business.
There is no question in my mind that our long term employment and lifestyle would be better if we dropped the income tax and returned to an import tax.
The funny part will be that all those companies had time to buy protection against a crumbling oil price and actually did it so if it keeps crashing, quite a few derivatives will be triggered :)
Default? WTF is a default? $4.8 bil? Pfftt, Janet can print that with her eyes closed.
She did that on the shitter this morning looking for her toupee.
Who issuing the CDS? Squeaky bums somewhere.
The CDS will never be triggered... *jedi hand wave*
You can go about your business.... move along...
True, but hedges expire and someone is on the losing side of those.
Seemed like there was plenty of easy credit in June of last year. How did that work out? I wonder how a wave of defaults will affect the supply?
Somebody will swoop in and snap up all of those already drilled wells for pennies on the dollar. If there is a dollar left, that is.
Precisely. Since last year when the price dropped dramatically, I knew it was the big boys getting together and putting the squeeze on the small companies/startups. The big companies can afford to take a hit on price for a few months or a year or more, while the smaller companies cannot. In the meantime all the suckers get swept away letting the big companies buy thier equipment, wells and leases on the cheap.
Monopoly 101.
Happens everytime oil crashes.
The royalty buyers are circling. Got another unsolicited offer in the mail last week. They upped their ante from their previous unsolicited offer. Guess they hadn't heard that the new horizontal well in that unit has been cancelled.
By an amazing coincidence, Netanyahu is demanding an increase in the tithe the US pays - from $3.1 billion to $5 billion per year. A couple of billion extra a year will buy an awful lot of stuff at pennies to the dollar.
Since they have a clandestine nuclear program, the U.S. is not allowed to give them a dime in aid - congress passed a law that said so.
Except the laws don't apply to congresses' Israeli pimps, so $5 billion? No problem...
The Israeli nuclear program is clandestine? I thought it was obvious.
but ...but...but-they NEED them to protect themselves FROM THE WORLD! I so wish that place was now a glass parking lot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsjbV23cto8
Watch "our" leaders stonewall or stumble around the "Israel nuke program" question.
Allah's prostitutes are getting greenbacks to fund jihad for the Sunnis at the same pace as those little lying suckers. Only time either of the scumbag groups do not mind being in the same city , D.C..
foreign military aid, Israel is #1 recipient, Egypt #2. That hasn't changed.
More guns and bombs to kill Palestinians and steal their homes/farms-and murder a few more Rachel Corries should they show up
That's how you really need to own those properties: with no debt. Then you can shut them down without getting hauled to the cleaners.
this is incredibly bullish for oil long term
Sort of.
Time for the NY FED to buy oil futures
Why can't they get more free money, just like the internet social spy companies?
The wrong team is in orifice.
Ds no like big oil.
"Ds no like big oil."
Except when they are major contributors to a "charity" you run - example:The Clinton Foundation.
As long as you keep paying your tribute, you can even be a "climate change denier". Once you stop though, the New York State Attorney Generals office will investigate your company. To wit: Exxon Mobile.
Just issue new bonds and stocks... and have the BoJ and the FED buy them... after all zios want to own everything at the end.
this is massive bullish!
Very telling Rottenfellar dumped XOM.
As TPTB have systematically de-industrialized the USSA, destroyed coal etc., my spidey senses tell me once the implosion in oil is complete...it ain't comin back.
If it does, it will be sky high made scarce on porpoise.
Then comes the Agenda21 shove to Blade Runner cities complete with those Bi-cycle roundabouts.
What a grand time we're in for!
Grand indeed! Glad we both own bicycles. And are fit enough to ride them.
Are you saying that we need more debt to keep oil and gas production increasing? Will pegging the dollar to gold help?
"Will pegging the dollar to gold help?"
Not as much as pegging it to a barrel of oil would.
Breaks my Heart, NOT!

We should be optimistic : the world has plenty of resources to pull through this and come out a greater civilization than ever. We have an internet to share ideas. This is human ingenuity against the world, just like always, but this time our social quotient and cooperation indices are off the scale of any previous time.
This is easy, except, as uusal, we have this infrastructure that is obsolete. Armies and governments and mega corporations and ... The Status Quo, basically. They are in the way, as they always are at this time in history.
Simple choice guys in the Status Quo (you know who you are, you are going to oppose the needed changes in political power relationships) : do you want the rude boys with the pitchforks and burning brands to replace you and administer justice, or can we talk like rational and civilized creatures? You are going to give up a very great deal, but you will keep your lives, that is what 'civilization' means to me. Cheap price for us all staying so wealthy as compared to a Syrian Civil War landscape as the winner's share.
Oh yes, also a guaranteed loss for their side and so many of their bloodlines being extinguished. The German General staff didn't believe it, either, although it was also obvious from the insanity of the politics. Win a war with Adolf Hitler at your back? As if you could build anything in a world of easy money and stupid ideology.

Get ready for the biggest debt default in history.
For those employed in this sector that didn't listen to me as far back as 16 months ago and as recently as 4 months ago let me be more direct.
Get out now! Although waiting almost until the holiday season to look for another job wasn't an ideal decision. You could always gamble and ride it out until early next year and in the mean time wait to see if you're on any guaranteed soon to be released layoffs announcements.
As I've mentioned repeatedly it was unnecessary for those at the top to let this happen. However, in the end egos and avarice won out over better judgement. And it quite likely will get worse with what is really at stake. Now not only will the millions in the middle east pay for it with their lives ruined or ended. So too you and your families will be negatively impacted.
If you think losing a job is a bad outcome of what's currently happening just wait until you see what the decision makers have in store for everyone in the very near future unless there are some significant changes. Each of you have the ability to assist in preventing a negative outcome not just for yourselves and your families but for everyone.

Good luck!
Perhaps, but there is plenty of evidence that this time around we are dealing with a global currency crisis. A global Weimar. This is something very very different indeed...
So you're saying that these four firms are going to file chapter 11 by Friday?
The one thing that always conviently overlooked, is these operators were alive via junk bonds. The banks knew this was never a viable business. Junk Bonds, what better way is there to say, this business is a crap operation. Poisened ground water, Wells with no longevity past 18 months and people selling their homes with OGM rights. Opps, no more checks. Nation done lost their minds.
Let's all blame the JEWS! It works for everything else.....
considering commodity prices are denominated in the crap for currency jews God only knows how they managed to tie us up with, and the entire financial system is all f*ed up with their fiat fractionalized money system, controlled by jews (of dubious origin, btw, so we really don't know who these people are, except they are of a peculiar race, alien demons for all I know, but they sure don't behave like the 'chosen ones of God', more like the chosen ones of evil), yeah, a reasonable argument can be made to pin it on them as well.

Ooor. Blame the weather.
Cheerful news indeed. Now imagine interest rates at 4%.
Unfortunately you banking fuck's never explain the truth about a depositor to bank relationship. You get hacked, good. You are still operating under British Law (follow the cunts: http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/Pages/home.aspx). That's the joke in Wall Street. FDIC doesn't hold the money to protect bank accounts.

Note: These are probably mobile trailers that the fleeing roustabouts are unable to purchase.

Looks like real estate is gonna get a WHOLE LOT CHEAPER up there real soon!
Good luck. I have to watch out for hurricanes. You need to avoid tornados.
Real estate will get cheap again. Wait until the Federal Reserve has to raise rates. You'll be able to buy a double wide for $250 bucks.

Start paying your corporate taxes. Reinvest your money back into the United States of America. We will not bail you out. Repeat, no bailout.
Take that rewards points card, and shove it up your data mining asshole. Blows a kiss.
"free trade" will prevent this.
My rant is done. Going back to bed to admire my lovely wife.
Shits from the BEGINNINGS (1.5$ capitals for 1$ income? That's pretty much FUCKED UP business model)? Of course it would be shits at the ENDS...
Shame they can't do the same as US Treasuries, you pay off one bond by selling the next Bond. Which works great as long as somebody buys it. If nobody buys it the FED buys it, so the FED ends up buying their own money.
The interest rate is basically inconsequential, since they'll hold it at zero as long as they want.
The real issue is when the Feb stops buying the re-parcelled debt off the banks and their evil foolish friends.
If Old Yellen had any guts at all, that's what she would do. She has to crush the banks, they gave them a second and third chance, and all they did was fund internal share-buying by the big corporations.
What happens to the price of oil when it's not priced in dollars?
The answer to that question should worry only Americans and the TBTF who manipulate oil prices using US$.
The rest of the world will be very happy at not having to store and use US$.
