Character Traits And Skills That Are Hard To Find During A Crisis
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/02/2016 22:01 -0400
With the growing instability present in the state of the world today it would be rather foolish to assume that the near future holds nothing but fairy dust, unicorns and gumdrops. Preparation is a necessity. The right people in the right place at the right time — no crisis. The wrong people in the right place at the right time — total destruction. Therefore, the key to surviving any crisis is to have the right people in place, and to be well away from the wrong people. The question is, who are the right people?

Why JPMorgan Believes Central Banks Can No Longer Save The Day
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/02/2016 18:28 -0400
"We think that the recent rally in risk assets gained much from dovish actions and messages from central banks, in particular the ECB, Fed and the PBoC. One can only applaud the seriousness and pro-activeness that central banks apply to their mandates. But aren’t investors counting too much on central banks carrying the day if not the cycle? This analyst thinks so, without disparaging their efforts, as central banks are almost out of ammo, and their tools are not well suited to handle the problems of slowing company profits and productivity."
"I'm 100% Sure" The US Presidential Campaign Is Being Tampered With
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/02/2016 15:52 -0400
There is a growing recognition of the increasing tail wagging the dog nature of the internet's control over election outcomes. We recently detailed "the hidden persuaders" at work showing how the internet has spawned subtle forms of influence that can flip elections and manipulate everything we say, think and do. Confirming all of this to be chillingly true is Andrés Sepúlveda, who rigged elections throughout Latin America for almost a decade. On the question of whether the U.S. presidential campaign is being tampered with, he is unequivocal - "I'm 100 percent sure it is."

IMF's Christine Lagarde: "When The World Goes Downhill, We Thrive"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/02/2016 17:18 -0400
"When the world around the IMF goes downhill, we thrive. We become extremely active because we lend money, we earn interest and charges and all the rest of it, and the institution does well. When the world goes well and we’ve had years of growth, as was the case back in 2006 and 2007, the IMF doesn’t do so well both financially and otherwise."

Shuffling The Deckchairs On The USS Perpetual Growth
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/02/2016 16:30 -0400
The Fed Funds rate is functionally pointless now that Interest on Excess Reserves are higher and deposit rates are zero. The bottom line is that the Fed must keep asset prices up because assets are collateral for potentially deflationary systemic debt.

A "Generational" Peak In Corporate Profit Margins
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/02/2016 14:00 -0400
Falling profit margins and rising valuations (as earnings fall) make for a pretty bearish one-two punch for the stock market. Investors will surely become less eager to pay higher valuations for companies growing more slowly. That equation usually works in reverse. And there’s no reason we can see to expect these challenges to corporate profit margins to let up any time soon. The S&P 500 now trades at its highest price-to-earnings ratio since the bull market began even as the index remains well off its recent price highs. And profit margins still could have a long way to fall before even reaching their average level since 1950.
