Black Friday

Unleash hell...

And this...

Worst Start To A Year... Ever!

 

It's ugly in 'Murica...

 

Of course - it's not just US, China has collapsed this year...(Worst start to a year ever)

Japan was a shitshow..

 

And Europe is in a bear market having erased all of the Q€ gains... (Worst start to a year ever)

 

The day in stocks...

  • *NASDAQ COMPOSITE INDEX SINKS 2.7% TO LOWEST IN 14 MONTHS
  • *S&P 500 FALLS 2.2% TO LOWEST LEVEL SINCE AUG. 25

But that level was heavily defended...

 

 

The week in stocks... worst 3-week drop in S&P, Dow, Trannies, Small Caps, and Nasdaq since Aug 2011

 

2016 in stocks...

 

Since The Fed rate-hike in stocks...

 

Since The Fed across asset-classes...

 

Since the end of QE3 in stocks...

 

It's a bloodbath in FANGs and Biotechs...

 

FANTAsy stocks are really ugly year-to-date (cap-weighted FANGs are down 12% YTD, Biotechs -17%)

 

Surprise - Equity markets catch down to on balance volume...

 

Financials bloodbathery fell to catch down to credit...

 

On the week, credit remains the leader...

 

But credit signals more pain to come... in stocks...

 

Especially in the most credit-sensitive small caps...

 

And VIX...

 

With Energy credit risk at its highest on record...

Carnage Continues, Energy Yields Set Record High

(Bloomberg) -- WTI oil has dropped to a new 12y low, falling below $30/bbl, triggering a broad sell-off across asset classes, with equities dropping 2.6%, HY ETFs falling 1.6% (lowest levels since 9/09), HYCDX slipping 1.1% and cash bonds falling across sectors led by oil companies in the Energy sector.

 

The BofAML U.S. HY Energy index YTW set a new historical high last night closing at 17.43%, surpassing the 17.048% close on 12/5/2008 during the height of the financial crisis

 

As of Wednesday’s close, the BofAML U.S. HY Energy index option adjusted spread to Tsys closed at +1,501, eclipsing the previous wide level seen at the height of the crisis of +1,494 on 12/5/2008

 

Energy bonds were roiled led by Sanchez Energy which plummeted 32% intraday followed by EP Energy (-15%), Whiting Petroleum (-13%), and Oasis Petroleum (-11%)

 

As Energy, Materials, and Financials lead the collapse in stocks since The Fed rate-hike...

 

Treasury yields collapsed this week (with the curve flat)...

 

And the USD Index gave up some of its gains to end the week up 0.3%... USDJPY dropped 0.25% on the week

  • *RUSSIAN RUBLE WEAKENS 2% TO 77.603 PER DOLLAR, RECORD-LOW CLOSE

Commodities were a mess with Gold and silver best (unch to modestly lower) while copper and crude were clubbed...

 

Crude closed below $30 for the first time since September 2003...

 

Charts: Bloomberg

Bonus Chart: Rate-Hike Odds have plunged...

Bonus Bonus Chart: Value is collapsing and Momentum remains high post-QE3 - we suspect that will revert... (h/t @groditi)

Next stop: they're gonna target cash.

So ... find a perfect mattress to hide your dough. Buy a nice house in Middle America, rent it out and sell the security feed footage of the family within. Ten grand net over 20 years is a lot of gravy. Multiply that by multiple houses.

This is what the Dutch are doing if I'm not mistaken.

Want to see how much further down the 'flight-to-quality', 'stock refuge' indices INDU and SPX are going to go in the rest of this current bear market downleg? Look at the already 5% lower levels for several of these no-place-to-hide sectors, as examples:

The original plan was 'Creative Destruction' economics as mentioned by Alan Greenspan many times - This meant take physical control of the worlds resources through US military might and collapse the economy once this was in place = one world government and NWO. This obviously didn't work out well for the Zionist/US so now the current plan is to control the PRICE of the worlds resources. This won't work either and without a WAR the western financial system is stuck with unpayable massive debt - the ONLY option is to go bankrupt and massive social unrest will ensue - Russia and China have simply 'outplayed' them !

It is even getting more complicated.  Check out this 19 minute YouTube video summarizing and showing pictures of the Muslim invasion of Europe.   They've got insurmountable problems.  Looks like the whites are already outnumbered.  I remember there was a Roman Senator who wanted Roman slaves to dress in different garb but the Roman Senate over ruled him because there were something like 5 slaves for every one Roman citizen and the Senate was afraid the slaves would reach that conclusion in a hurry when they saw everyone walking around Rome.

The "H - visas" have been a problem since at least 1995. The last year of almost full employment for US Tech and CompUter Graduates was 1998.

Allmost all the 5+ years of H visa temps brought to the US  from 1995 to 2012/13,  were converted to US Permanent Status Green Card IMMIGRANTS. Most have gotten their citizenship and retained their jobs in Hight Tech, - Information Technology, Engineering and Medical areas. Do the math.

Assuming on average 125,000 H visas per year from 1995 to 2015, totals 2,500,000 to 3,000,000 MILLION high tech jobs that DID NOT GO TO US CITIZENS IN High TECH MID LEVEL, OR ENTRY LEVER ENGINEERS. 

SO WHERE DOES THE FAULIT LIE?

WITH THE US GOVERNMENT, THE BOUGHT AND PAID FOR POLITICIANS, OR THE 1000 TOP COMPANIES IN THE US WITH LARGE ENGINEERING AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INFASTRUCTURES THAT PREFFER TO HIRE NON US CITIZENS ??????????????????????????????

Another ugly day, for sure.  But another day when SPX dropped exactly to where expected and closed at or above the neckline of the big Head & Shoulders Pattern posted earlier in the week.  The bullish case isn't seriously damaged until SPX closes below 1880.

The Fed decided that they wanted to cause a DEPRESSION when they put the rates up when everyone knows we are already in a RECESSION.

 

There must be a reason for this, but I surely cannot believe that sane people would wilfully do this to their own businesses and workers.

 

In conditions like this I hope you all have converted your "PET PAPER" & "PET DIGITS" into "PET ROCKS" which should hold their value during this coming FED CREATED DEPRESSION. _JOHNLGALT

 

This slightly edited post is from  comments made several months ago.

These imbeci**s obviously don’t know sh** from cl*y. The last time the markets gave the FED data signals the ass fell out of the markets and they S*** themselves.
When the FED raises interest rates it will strengthen the already strong DOLLAR and strangle your exports, thus contracting your economy and sending it into a DEPRESSION. The U.S. has wonderful (read awesome) numbers, What is the score now, About 60% on food stamps, (whatever that is). My sympathies to all of you in the U.S.A. who believed in the “DREAM” of home ownership and independence.

To anyone who would like to get out of this World Wide Paper Ponzi Scheme (WWPPS) there must be a precious metals store nearby.

This (WWPPS) World Wide Paper Ponzi Scheme will only work well for "THEM" if the Mushrooms (people) of the world are kept in the dark and fed bullsh*t. "THEY" can't have the Mushrooms waking up and getting out of the Scheme and getting into "PET ROCKS".            _JOHNLGALT.  

I will have no sympathy for the people I've tried to explain this to, WTSHTF

 

There is a choice of keeping your life’s labour in airy fairy paper (“PET PAPER”) in which most of the thieves have told you they want to steal (through inflation) at least 2% of your wealth from you.
– If there is deflation you get to keep most of your work (value), If there is the thieves inflation, they get to skim the 2% or whatever off the top,  DO NOT FORGET THAT “THEY” CAN TURN ON THE SPIGGOTS TO 10% OR 20% OR WHATEVER and just steal that amount of your life’s work from you.
Or you can convert your excess labour into HARD OBJECTS,
LAND, (can be taxed),
BUILDINGS, (can be taxed),
CARS, (can be taxed and subject to depreciated value),
ART OBJECTS, (subject to personal preferences),
BUSINESSES, (usually valued in “PET PAPER”) are subject to the honesty of management, ETC.)  YEAH, RIGHT.  We know all about that don’t we?
Getting back to the difference between “PET ROCKS” and “PET PAPER” and now – wait for it – “PET DIGITALS”.  I nearly p****d myself when I heard you can give up your life’s work to (invest) in “PET DIGITALS” HEH, HEH, HEH.  _YEAH RIGHT.
Give me a break. Do you think I’m a complete F*** W***.
As far as investing in “PET ROCKS” or “PET PAPER” or “PET DIGITALS”, maybe you should ask the Indians, Chinese, Russians, Germans (sorry you can have your GOLD back in ??? years) _because I am not licensed  to give investment advice.                    Best to you all, and more PET ROCKS please. _JOHNLGALT

Wall Street and Intelligence firms that review all these comments (we know you do). What do you say when a bona fide prophet of the Lord tells you that calamity is coming to this nation? That when calamity strikes (and it will as soon as I leave my home to begin designating places of refuge for fellow believers here in America) your material posessions will be utterly useless? Your money will be useless, your plans will be useless and absolutely nothing can stop it. Not your military, not your intelligence agencies, not even with all your wealth will you be able to avoid the sudden and sheer destruction that will come here. There will be fighting in the streets, riots, starvation and much much more! But there will also be revival - a great revival and many will come to know the Lord during this period. Doubt this? Then here, take a look at this emprical proof here: http://goo.gl/HVJ4Jj There is proof on this page! Read it! No other has been able to show you this proof until now, but now you know! Time is very short - it will begin this year in fact. The Lord has shown me. For those that believe the Lord and desire to seek refuge, then listen to this recording and carefully follow its instructions! http://www.churchfreedom.org/places-of-refuge-where-to-go-during-the-season-of-calamity/

I'm kind of bummed out that gold didn't do better today.  They kept it under $1,100.  When the stock market similarly tanked in August 2011, gold rose great, reaching its over $1,900 peak in September.  Not sure why it is different now or rather, today.

Get your shit in order! Be ready for bounced pay checks and late paychecks.

Store up some food, water and booze while you still can.

And as I always do. I recommend buying a piece of land and building a small off the grid cabin on it. Learn about compost toilets and off the grid water supplies and outdoor wood fired ovens.

Form cabin nets with friends and help each other out.

Always be ready. But if you dont lose everything in this mess and dont need to move into it full time, at least you will have a cool place to get away from it all.

Everything else is hidden and under my control. Banks? huh! They are nothing to me but a way to pay the bills electronically.

And if they f%$k around and give me that, "I own you BS" I just wont deal with them at all. I will find anorther way.
