Everybody Print! BOJ Will Reenter Global Currency Devaluation Frenzy To Kill Yen
Following the USDJPY touching on a fresh post-WWII low earlier today, not only has Noda made the transition from simply watching to outright panicking to being on suicide watch, but the BOJ has finally freaked out (something we predicted back in April only to be just 6 months ahead of the curve). Case in point: the Nikkei just reported that the BOJ "will discuss additional monetary easing measures to help blunt the mighty yen's impact on the economy when its policy board convenes for a meeting Thursday." Specifically, the BOJ may (read) will, expand the existing 50 TRN yen asset-purchase program by 5 TRN yen, and also may consider the purchase of bonds of more than two-year maturity, thus expanding scope of program and converting it into Japan's own Operation Twist. In other words, printing goes to Japan, now that it is widely expected that no matter what Europe does, the outcome will be one of EUR weakness. Everyone knows the proclivities of the deranged Chairsatan (and for those who don't just observed the dramatic backwardation in Crude observed here first yesterday), which only leaves Shirikawa. And he has just had enough. Which in turn explains the surge in gold: with the entire world once again entering hyprintspeed mode, the only safe repository of value is now exclusively gold (sorry CHF, you are no longer relevant: thank Hildebrand and the goonies at the SNB who are quietly padding up the asset side of their balance sheet with hundreds of billions of soon to be even more worthless euros).

printing is the easy way out for central bankers that dont wanna think
Hentai printers at warp speed Mr. Sulu!!!
I'll give you Warp 8 and maybe a wee bit more!
Between radioactive land, water, tea, cars, and now Yen, Japan is the #1 producer of toxic exports! Soon to add people to that list as the exodus gains momentum...
Uranium from finger nail of a Tokyo citizen
i thought kamikazes were pilots, not central bankers?
Monetary policy stupidity seems to be contagious nowadays
Next thing you know the BOJ will peg the JPY to the CHF and the FT would break the story of a rogue teenaged trader almost blowing up MUFG reportedly because of some sour SPY options.
Devaluation, ............Bitchez
No. Central banks are private institutions representing the fiat cartel. They are doing their masters bidding - which is diametrically opposed to the peoples interests.
these dumfuk central bankers at SNB should be buying EUROPE not the fucking euro! Print and buy the goddamned assets!
why doesn't everyone see this for what it is ... global coordinated intervention. Europe does their clown show using CBO's and other peoples money to try and paper over their own problem.. then they run to the G20 meeting with hat in hand asking for IMF and Fed to bless the Euro plan with some more money. G20 obliges with a Nov 4 communique stating that there will be GLOBAL EASING - to spray foam on the runway -- Fed can then buy every MBS that isn't nailed down at the European banks - the USD can drop to 1.40 and the SPX can rally to the 200sma. Put your short shorts on once that happens.....
So yentervention was the culprit.
I like ggoooolllddddd!!! Ishnt dat veird?
Ta Da! Best explanation for gold pump today.
Time to go long Jade, Gold, and Cocoa Beans.
Today it really could've been numerous factors that did it when you really look at the headlines. The Japanese are so trusty...
Does Japan use HP or Konica Minolta?
Irrelevant. The cool thing about the yen is its ability to glow in the dark. Soon it will make the worlds foremost confetti for night baseball.
BTFD??
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!
And I just picked up two 100 oz Engelhards, two 100g gold Pamps and two 1oz Plats this past weekend!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!
Show me your physicals, bitchez!!!
Nice try ... Ain't showing you shit.
They already have my ip address and that's too much intell.
I told you before that it fell out of the freakin' boat along with my guns.
seems to be a common occurrence round here
That's because most of these boats were Made in China.
I spent mine on coke and hookers. Sorry Sir, I can't remember their names. Candy? Cindy? Bambi? Something like that Sir.
I just bought a bit more over the weekend too. But I wasn't expecting it to be in the green this soon.
Congrats! I've been buying ever since silver crashed back to low 30s and gold $1620. Took a lot of guts but I began buying thinking, 'I'll just keep adding to my stash on the way down.' The game isn't over yet. There will be more hit jobs. But I really don't care. I had a specific goal in mind when I started buying PMs and I'm getting closer each and every day. Actually, I've already surpassed my goal in silver but I recently discovered the joy of fondling 100 oz bars. They're so nice!
I've been buying more silver recently and am planning on converting it to gold at 40:1 Which brings me to my question...does the GSR have any relevance anymore?
My question is...who is going to be the first country to say "the hell with your fiat. We are tired of your constant devaluation"?
France has a rich history of bloody revolution.
certainly wont be the US
Remember, Rothschild "controls the currency".
the people of vietnam are speaking...
That's kinda what the BOJ is saying.
Toss up. Zimbabwe or Iceland.
What could possibly go wrong?
Peak Seppuku.
When are they going to hold the vote for which political leader will emboss the 1,000,000 denomination of Japanese currency? I vote for this guy:

They should go with Masataka Shimizu. It will honor the toxicity of the notes.
uh, market reaction nil. since when did BOJ printing money lead to inflation?
depends on you Zip code. Hold off on buying that new Honda. Prices are coming down.
Print Baby Print
earlier in the year wasn't 81 the line in the sand that could not be crossed?
Just tell me when the music stops so I can grab a chair before they are all taken.
After they are done the chairs will have been split so many times that your will only be able to clean your teeth with them much less have a seat.
Any artists here? I would almost pay money to have 'dance' replaced with 'print' in Safety Dance...

Even keep the video... The circus is very fitting!
SOOOOO they devalue the yen, why is the dollar still way down? hmmmm
Bigger pile of shit, more stink.
This song just popped into my head from some strange reason:

How masochistic of them..... what was the lifespan of their previous foray into the market? haha
Obama to rule by decree?
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blogs/obama-takes-executive-action-help-veterans-165110398.html
I don't need no stinking legislation... and me amigo Hugo say so too.
God bless the veterans, I'm one, but shit, bye bye Invisible Hand, hello Iron Fist!
Don't underestimate the lengths that fvckwad will go to try and stay in office. Obumble is by far the worst TOTUS ever (imho)... and G.W. "Shrub" Bush was pretty bad...
Go back a little farther...
Bush Daddy was criminal.
Clinton was worse.
Bush, Jr. was worse.
Obama is the worst (so far).
Hmmm, I see a trend developing.
A trend labeled: Entrenched Coup.
Hm. Bad->Worse->Worst.
If we don't get RP I see the trend continuing.
from the frying pan into the fire in a closed loop of insanity
einstein you rascal, you
Is that the part of the jobs bill that is supposed to prevent rapes?
Yawn. Countless attempts and as many failures. How does an exporting nation withi a culture of saving devalue its currency? Japan is a model of efficency but I doubt they can as efficently errode competitiveness and productivity as quickly as the west. Sorry, we reign supreme. Long FXY.
Saving implies storing wealth over time. These days, all the Japanese do is hoard Yen, which is down 270% compared to gold over the last ten years.
Now that we have all on board in the global race to the bottom, the natural question that follows is: When does the war start?
Start? Start?
Look about you man! We're already in it!
Be careful gold holders, I will print gold.
I dare you. And please share with me if yu do.
Breakup of USA into regional red state and blue state political unions has merit. A USSA for some folks and a USA for all the others.
Well, red and blue covers the USSA. What color will the USA be?
Oh no they didn't, Its time for Big Ben to hit the court and show them who the real printers are. Son ain't going out like that!
Its Tsunami time.
QE to Infinity....AND BEYOND!!!!

"now that it is widely expected that no matter what Europe does, the outcome will be one of EUR weakness" it is only EUR that is no printed.?
What is the value of a currency of a country that, by any stretch of the scientific imagination, should have been evacuated 6 months ago?
Long plutonium neutron rays, bitchez!

euros are like my cup-a-fart ... 1st shocking then just a bad memory .
Lemme guess, they don't hyperinflate either?
Well.... here we go again. The real action is still with EUR/USD/CNY and who is going to be the biggest loser (winner) in the race to the bottom. The EURO is winning by default because it can't help itself. Bernanke may have to bail them out to bring the USD down.
"Firstly, it is a basic human right to choose to save without our savings being debased by the tax of monetary inflation. Those who are worst affected by this inflation tax are not the rich -- they benefit -- but the poor and the barely well-off, which is why monetary inflation undermines society and why the right to sound money should be respected. If government gives itself a monopoly over money, it has a duty to protect the property rights vested in it." -- Alisdair Macleod, of the clan Macleod
Great post, gwar5. As one blogger put it: “Savers and people living on fixed incomes have no voice in Washington. The banks, meanwhile, waltz around town with megaphones."
Quote from Thomas J. Feeney in “The Immorality of Fed Policy,” September 18, 2011, on Seeking Alpha:
Every Fed action involves the choice of winners and losers. In evaluating such actions it’s important to recognize that the Federal Reserve Board is an entity established by bankers for bankers. That recognition explains why maintaining the health of banks and bankers always appears to be the most important objective in any rescue effort. That intention becomes all the more galling in the current instance in which ultra-wealthy bankers, whose firms were bailed out and force-fed essentially free money for lending or investment, received giant bonuses while vast numbers of U.S. citizens remain unemployed. The money to bail out and feed those banks has to come from the far less affluent general public.
The greatest inequity falls upon the elderly retired and generations unborn. Millions of Americans worked for decades, saved, and retired with the valid expectation that their retirement assets would provide a variable but reasonable return. By reducing short-term interest rates essentially to zero, the Fed denied the elderly retired a risk-free return. Fed officials have acknowledged their intent to “force” investors to take risks. Imagine the psychological distress that prospect creates in those who don’t want or can’t afford to take risks with their money. Worse yet, imagine the psychological and financial distress it causes those who take risks and lose money. Unlike big banks, such people are not “too big to fail,” and the Fed has no bailout program for them. Now that the Fed has pledged to keep interest rates exceptionally low through at least mid-2013, a growing numbers of retirees will be forced to take risks for a chance to receive any appreciable return.
It is, frankly, very surprising that there has been no hue and cry raised by savers--especially the elderly retired--about their money being used to bail out overextended borrowers. Have the Grey Panthers gone dormant? We see a very clear choice by the Fed to reward the profligate at the expense of the frugal. That choice turns everything we’ve been taught in life on its head.

This is an example of america's free lunch.
When we decide to monetize and the dollar devalues, other nations arw obliged to buy up those dollars and put in a floor to remain competitive.
Size matters. The world doesnt revolve around the sun. It revolves around America.
The dollar has been overvalued so we have wiggle room here. We print dollars. The rest of the world buys them. We get more monetization and less dollar devaluation than we would have been able to achieve if we didnt own the trade currency and if the third world werent so mercantilist.
This is america's free lunch. Who pays for it? Mostly sheeple in mercantilist economies. To remain competitive when we devalue they have to accept a lower standard of living than they would otherwise, if they had a more balanced economy.
The mercantilists are trapped. They dont have diversified economies with strong internal demand and cant just let the dollar slide unopposed.
Now you understand why chinese political leaders gwt upset at Fed treasury buys. As a mercantilist economy they lose whether they stay pegged or not. However you can deceive your people about their lack of more rapid progress in living standards by staying hard pegged to the dollar versus target ranges.
in other news, SPY looks like it is about to roll-over
I've to print something useless also
Taxpayer money is going straight through to the bankers now.
Instead of currency devaluation, we should now say currency manipulation.
The people in charge are making currency decisions to fit their financial tribes and key industries, not their people. You can be assured that if the United States or Japan or Canada, or most any developed country, does anything “good” for its currency, it’s not good for the people, it’s good for the private rulers. Currency decisions are what’s best for the people who put the policy makers in power, not What’s Good for America, What’s Good for Canada, What's Good for Japan...
In short, it ain’t gonna be good for us; cause we ain't represented.
The results of Keynesian currency debasement in America are evident in housing. Interest rates are at bottom yet people aren’t buying, employment has plunged to depression levels, an inflation-wiped-out populace is going into winter facing excessive fuel costs, food-stamp lines are 43 million long... And we’ve got a President of the United States who talks like a basketball player (the picture of Obama with drooping eyelids and a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, well, that’s Obama—they didn’t even clean him up much).
The Americans and non-Americans who are being rewarded in the housing market are those who don’t contribute anything – be they banker or non-paying home “owner.” What responsible working person would want to invest in a new home whose value is controlled by a Freddie/Fannie/Welfare/TBTF-manipulated housing cartel that also influences property taxes and homeowner insurance? See today’s George Washington’s:
Obama to Bypass Congress on Mortgages” … But “New Obama Foreclosure Plan Helps Banks At Taxpayers’ Expense”
Changes in America are coming soon! When the Fed decides it has to go back to the housing market and actually pay to lift it, that’s the signal of the seriousness of this Keynesian-contrived economic crisis.
Soon, when the middle class is wiped out, there won’t even be enough money for infrastructure.
USDJPY touching on a fresh post-WWII low
Nice Freudian slip, Tyler.
Currency wars beget trade wars beget military wars. I wonder (really), if WWIII breaks out whose side Japan will be on.
kill the Yen ? Looks like I will not be eating poodles & noddles anymore.
Currencies in the ultimate race to the bottom.....all except gold which will continue to race to the top !!
Tools in CB Toolkit:
1. Printer. Check
2. Rate setting gizmo. Check
3. Bully pulpit. Check.
No other tools.
The currency printers must have been very busy, but of course not that what happened was actually a physical act. In today’s world, money and currency have become very metaphysical in existence, being traded as electronic signals, over the Internet.
