Global Dollar Liquidity Freeze Leads To Pervasive Sell Off
Just two charts confirming that we have entered a complete USD liquidity lock up, and that the global coordinated USD swap line rescue operation will be launched any minute: both the US FRA-OIS and the EUR Basis Swap are at multi year extremes. The entire dollar funding market is now at levels not seen since the Lehman collapse and is effectively frozen. Only this time it is much, much worse as never before has the global central bank cadre been assumed and implied to be backstopping the global liquidity cascade. Ex-out the implied backstop by the monetary authorities, and liquidity is now locked up more than ever in the history of capital markets. The liquidity crunch explains why everyone is liquidating the one asset that is performing best YTD to procure much needed dollars - gold.

Paper gold, none the less...
[Voiceover by the actress playing young Jenny Curran in Forrest Gump]
Basic arithmetic just called and said there can be no happy ending, no matter The Bernank, The Trichet, The Merkel, Sarkozy or Dudley does/says, and no matter what the CEO of Jeffries, Mr. Dick Handler, claims, and that when it comes to CONfidence games, mathematics ultimately and always is in control of the show.
*Barton Biggs just heard of two stocks with the ticker LNKD and GRPN that he says will be the Standard Oil of the 21st century and he's double-fisted buying (he claims he'll even sell his shares of The East India Trading Company to raise cash if need be).
**Abby Joseph Cohen announced, via satellite feed somewhere on Lord Blankfeins Bug Out ranch/compound in Paraguay, that she sees a lot of upside potential for the global economy and equities, and is therefore, quite bullish.
***A whole slew of wannabe Stevie Cohens, seeing the fix that Stevie Cohen is in, just announced that they're sick of client redemptions flowing in hot & heavy, that they "should've went to med school," and are taking their ball home while acknowledging that there still will be a highly rigged game (that they're implicitly admitting they don't have any influence over, no matter how large their AUM) despite their lack of participation in it.
****Steve LIESman just tweeted that it's important, despite what is actually the very scary reality of the economic times, for The Bernank to perpetuate CONfidence, and he's upset with Mark Zandi, Christina Romer, Austan Goolsbee, and last, but not least, his cohorts at cnBSc for not doing a better job at doing so.
Are there any greater fools left or have they all left the building?
Yes. Stay tuned for the Supercomittee next Wednesday. Lots of greater fools devising lies there.
Got FAZ?
silver is getting absolutely destroyed. I guess $60 isn't happening next week anytime soon.
A lot of bagholders been created by silver pumpers lately
Which pumpers, exactly, lately? And "bagholders"? What a blinkered, short-term mindset you have. It ain't over until the fat lady sings --- and, I hope, stomps the shit out of your scrawny ass.
Next stop gold at $1450 bitchezzz!
Greenspan Shrugged
Next stop gold at $1,450 bitchezzz!
Great, will be online and ordering like a SOB.(<:
My back is so scarred, the beatings no longer hurt.
I only wish I could give the number of greens you deserve
Thanks for the lightness!!!! om
I rushed to my safe to make sure the paper price adjustment didn't cause my physical silver to suddenly dissolve into the air.
Nope, still there. Phew. Guess I'm not a bagholder then.
lol, almost sharted when i read that...
ur stack is buying less of everything else today, bagholder
Only if I'm selling it today, shithead.
ah the old canard of bagholders "my account value isn't 0 because I haven't pressed the sell button"
I always wondered what the hybrid offspring of a douchebag and an asswipe would look (and act) like.
I wonder no longer.
Eh? When did silver go to zero?
I want to buy an infinite amount at that price.
I've offered $5 plus an additional bonus of $10 for each ounce of silver someone- anyone - wishes to dig from my back yard, and I've had no success finding any takers.
Lazy farkers.
You're expecting silver to go to zero? Let me know if you have any to sell at that price.
I don't care what silver trades for today or tomorrow. I might care what it trades for in six months or a year, but until I do the daily price is meaningless noise, and I haven't actually gained or lost anything until I pull the trigger.
This isn't rocket science.
Hypothetical scenario: Silver goes to $5/oz, and the USD goes to toilet paper. Which would you rather have. I sure wouldn't put that dirty coke money in my rear. Fire starter maybe.
Today being the only operative word in that comment.
Behold the sound of one brain cell yapping.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnpEI3njoeo
What, you mad that all your silver is going down in value, Trav? Why didn't you sell when you were talking so much shit?
Could it be that you are a contemptable hypocrite who wants everyone to be poor or dead so they can't use any of your precious oil?
i've been thinking...there is no credible way that anybody could be as stupid as you continually appear to be, so you simply have GOT to be a shill for someone trying to create lots of silver bagholders. It's either that or you actually DO believe the moronic stuff you type, in earnest. I'm just not willing to believe yet that anyone could possibly be that dumb. Convince me.
As bitter and hateful as you continually are, it must really suck to be you.
nah it's actually awesome to be me.
I guess I am a bit of a bagholder; I just bought some silver...cufflinks. From Hermes. Just to celebrate being awesome
So awesome your wife and kids left you?
I guess they were jealous of your awesomeness.
Your life is pretty shitty, dude. You just can't admit it because that would require that you take some fucking responsibility for your situation.
huh? kids are right here dude, the wife i had to get rid of
You're pretty brazen for a dude who wants to stack silver and lord it over starving people
You know trav777, sometimes you act like an inflamed hemorrhoid,
you hang out just waiting to get irritated.
You can be really annoying and disruptive.
I can see why you can't keep a wife.
I pity your kids.
Maybe there's hope for you yet. I assume you are buying new, at a retail store, because you feel like it. Not on CL, and not just because it's some random crap being liquidated
How can I convince you of ANYTHING when you hear only what you want to hear, and know only what you heard?
well, you managed to convince me that you're pretty frickin stupid, so don't sell yourself short, man
Congratulations on your graduation to full fuckwad troll.
You can expect automatic red arrows from me for your every comment from now on. You've proven yourself to be little more than a divisive, hate-filled, narcissistic troll and complete asshole. Thank you for allowing me to skim over each one of your posts as irrelevant going forward.
oh nooooooooooooooooo
the mighty AKOCK is going to click my red arrow...wtfever will I do? How will I live?? How will I find the strength to carry on?
Come on, dudes
This is too much fun to be a carrying on so
You two sound like a couple of brothers of mine
The sun is shining even on the other side of the world
Always shining that sun
the organic shit is happening and we are a part of it
What a great fucking day even if my pocket is not so full as it was om
oops
"Open swap lines, Bernank, Open swap lines!
Print, Trichet! Print!"
Geithner got a very cold shoulder several months ago when he went preaching the US "monetary" gospel of Bernanke to the EU. Given that he used to run the NYFRB, I wonder if the Fed is going to let the EU twist a bit before doing more to "help out".
Trichet no longer has control over the EZ printing press
Well aware of Draghi's comings, and Smaghi's goings. Take it up with Truth in Sunshine.
Right; Trichet doesn't have control of the ECB printing press unless Merkel & her loyalists put the German People on the open spit and roast them toasty in lieu of the PIIGS(+France) that should be roasted given the way the EU Member States have governed themselves since this brilliant idea (/s) of a union between nations as different as Germany & Italy was hatched and implemented.
But if the German People allow themselves to be sacrificed to the bottomless pit welfare states that are PIIGSFUK (PIIGS+France+UK), well then, Trichet will be a busy little printer.
Is it time for the asset sales to raise liquidity to commence? How low is low?
ppl had 15 years to participate in the bubble(s). All that wealth was phantom wealth (bubble wealth), and unsustainable. Now, we revert back to the mean, and 'real' price discovery, unless Central banks intervene, forcing future adjustments to be more severe. So wealth preservation is the priority. Anyone owning risk will be steamrolled.
correct, that is what SHOULD happen....however it will not, because the fed will pull out all the stops to keep markets from reverting to pre bubble mean
You don't get it. If they do that the cost-structure of owning the same assets explodes. That alone further depresses asset values like real estate, most people's #1 wealth asset. And margins get squeezed across the board, requiring further downsizing and offshoring. Finally capital flies overseas
Yes. Can you imagine how many yuppies and wannabes are locked into unrealistic cost structures based on pre-crisis asset prices? And they're being squeezed by rising input prices
The yuppies & wannabes were last heard booking their limited time promotional 'Want To Get Away?' flights to fantasy island courtesy of Southwest Airlines (also known as The Bernank Special).
The real inner sanctum already have their private jets fueled & waiting to be fired up and their compounds ready in places like Paraguay and certain patches of very rough terrain in Colorado.
In the end, The Bernank will be known as the boy who blew bubbles so that very important friends of the New York Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank could hitch their rides to the last opportunity to suckle the remaining lifeblood of taxpayers
Basic Math says:
"Just like the mother in the movie 'Blow,' the inevitable process that has to occur, global deleveraging, on a scale at least equal to (actually far more so given mark-to-fantasy valuations and leveraging gamesmanship) the circa-1981 through 2011 credit fed and central bankster sponsored debt bubble, is a complete and total bitch."
We're totally on the same wavelength. Uber yuppies have their bugout bags packed. Average yuppies are stuck with feet in concrete, struggling to keep what they have.
The circa 1981 Fed made it policy to stripmine the US productive economy and replace it with financialized KoolAid. Build massive overcapacity and slash median wages to offset money printing on a massive scale. They were just lucky that an oil shock didn't happen sooner
So your thesis is that after 90 years of intervening markets, the Fed will just stop all the sudden and things will go back to how they were? If they stop intervening it's just your queue that there's no longer any possible hope of the US dollar continuing to exist and to start emptying shelves at the supermarket.
No, my thesis is that the Federal Reserve 'Bank' is pushing on a string, pulling on a thread, shouting down a well/rabbit hole, and that its demise has already been planned, given what is to transpire, and that its successor has already been formed and is waiting in the wings, with a similar mission statement, only to be carried out with a more global focus and more global authority (think SDRs and other 'world weighted' things, etc.).
Remember when all that new design US currency got stuck in the printer and had to be stored so it could be manually sorted...
That was a coincidence, wasn't it?
There's no such thing as a Sanity Claus, no rally. He who sells first wins, profit taking time.
oops
Long end treasury traders getting whipped!
The algos in rest of CDS market gonna go crazy and fail as unwind goes parabolic. The hedges fail. Peeps unloading gold, silver, oil, anything that will get US$ so get out of dollar liquidity trap.
Like I always say, it's not panicing if you're the first one out the door.
That door may turn out to be a lot narrower than people expected considering how many want to push through
One more (major) sell-off before QE3. I`m holding my breath on it.
http://journey-to-alpha.blogspot.com/2011/11/one-more-sell-off-before-qe-3.html
No way with 2+% GDP and CPI.
Don't forget crude price plus pressure from overseas to keep dollar-denominated paper values from nosediving
QE3 No later December 13 FED Meeting.... Maybe alot sooner.
QE3, in similar fashion to QE2, will only accelerate the process of fundamental economic decline we're experiencing at WARP speed, as SNAP cards will buy 50% less grub, and unemployment/underemployment spike as those looking for the few jobs open or who are working at low wage jobs or part time pass on the opportunity to pour their whatever money they have left or can borrow and wages they earn into increasingly expensive gas tanks, utility and grocery bills and medical treatments for those pesky and painful ailments.
I'm not saying you're prediction will be wrong (or correct), but just pointing out some to be expected consequences.
Deleveraging is a mofo, and when The Bernank tries to postpone the laws of physics, it only gets more mofo-ey.
*p.s. - We're under the auspice of QE-lite right now, at any rate, given Fed churning/burning through and liquidating portions of its toxic sludge fund to repurchase more toxic sludge.
In dealing with these exponential graphs, when you get closer and closer to that little sideways 8 things sure do start to speed up.
Keep your hands and arms inside the train at all times!
until the g-forces pull them off?

At what price does the Giant Squid go private?
-44% YTD
Know that, and one could extrapolate the EUR/USD bottom.
Right after the record bonuses for fraud.
Bank on it.
We don't say fraud we say providing liquidity.
The question I would like answered is, who (or what ) the Devil is propping up BAC this sesion ? RTQ: + 0.02/5.92
Read this one:
http://www.cnbc.com/id/40530212/Goldman_Sachs_2011_Forecast_Stocks_Gold_...
Goldman’s global investment team rates U.S. Large Cap Commercial Banks among its "Top" Trades for 2011.
LOL!
"Underweight consumer staples" for 2011, quoth the Vampire Squid.
Now then, what has Philip Morris Intl. done this year ? Up some 21% ? Of course, BAC has been a real winner -- on the short side, down some 55% YTD. Never buy what a cephalopod is peddling. Your capital will be drawn into the Deep, never again to see the light of day.
Squid's forecast from a year ago:
"Goldman Sachs is bullish on the U.S. economy for 2011, and forecasts U.S. stocks will see their third straight year of gains.
The investment banking powerhouse sees the S&P 500 gaining nearly 25 percent to a level of 1450 in the next 12 months, fueled by strong corporate profits, easy monetary policies and an improving U.S. economy. "
GS will not go private at any price.
As a "private" company, they would be gambling with their own money.
That was the whole idea behind going "public" in the first place.
Gulp
Sorry. I can't help. I ran out of buy before they ran out of dip.
lol right there with you brother
if you didn't get your dollars on that last dip, it may be too late
they still have dip, but they've run out of dollars!
I will cherish your words forever
now I have to clean up my notebook
I've advised not to buy when gold went back to $1800 because it was too early after the September correction and because Gold was a lot higher than its moving averages. So here is the correction.
I think fair range is between $1560 and $1700 with $1640 the fair value (for the time being).
So between $1640-$1700 is ok and between $1560-$1640 is very good value.
If gold brakes super strong support at $1560 then it is fucked, it may go down a lot.
Regarding Silver, I say it again: too dangerous right now because it is a lot more volatile than Gold. The GSR keeps going up and that is a bad sign. So my advice: avoid buying Silver until the GSR starts falling again (on a monthly basis) or until it gets ridiculously high (like 80 for example).
A part from that, don’t fucking sell your physical.
The time for selling silver was in May/September when it was above $40 and Gold when it was at $1900.
don’t fucking sell your physical
all the rest is opinion
Fair enough
I still like your opinion - just reacted to the word "fair", that's all
"fair" just denotes a consensual, free transaction, "fair price" is just "unrigged market price" for me
Dude, WTF? I mean SERIOUSLY, WTF?
Why are you being so AGREEABLE, asshole? lol
Regrettably, we are never in danger of the former from you --- but all too aware of the latter characterizing your behaviour in this forum.
flew right over your pinhead, didn't it?
No, I'm just finally sick and tired of your gratuitous bullshit.
Trav,
You have a lot to say for someone that's all opinion and no added value. Why don't you find something productive to do?
Except for that last line of impressive 20/20 hindsight.
Check my old posts and you'll see that I warned about golds run to $1900 several times. I even said it would go back to $1600 !
And that was easy to see from the MAs.
This is not a correction. It's a crisis of liquidity. Way different.
Are we reliving first week of June, 2008?
and your credentials for such an opinion to be taken seriously are what now?
He's the guy who told the Man with No Name that "a man with a rifle always beats a man with a pistol." Then Clint put on some body armor and shot him down.
Actually, you're wrong dude.
That was Ramon, I'm Indio, the guy who robbed la bank d’El Paso.
Yeah, I know. I was just looking at your avatar and didn't check your handle. It is the same guy who played Ramon in Fistful. Whatever became of El Indio? And what was the film, For a Few Dollars More?
You don't need my credentials, I always give a reason for what I say. So you just need to use your brain and judge yourself.
For example I'm saying the moving averages are a simple and effective way to time purchases.
Gold MAs can be checked here: http://www.kitco.com/charts/techcharts_gold.html
Silver MAs can be checked here: http://www.kitco.com/charts/techcharts_silver.html
A good strategy is to buy when PMs are between the blue and green lines. The 30 MA for the blue line is fine, the 60 is better.
can you really trust the MA in such a manipulated item? one day technicals won't matter. 40 year suppression is due to boil over.
keep fighting the current, then...fuckin pumpmonkeys
For the time being MAs still work but who knows.
I'm not selling anything but I won't buy when the conditions aren't right. Would you ?
they ran out and bought with both fists at 49.99
So the Chinese have 2 trillion dollars in FX in a vault.
When exactly should they time the market and move into gold?
And if they did move into physical what would be the price for all of us?
So considering that Sovereigns are "probably" moving toward (or are already in) the physical of last resort,
what do you say to those folks who are without or needing more?
Wait for a bargain?
Cue Hugh Hendry.
Well yes. They buy small quantities regularly so that prices don't go up too much but when there is a selloff they buy a lot. That's their market timing. the Chineese don't chase prices higher and it's not me who says this.
El Indio called a chop last week (earlier this week? can't remember). Not to mention a lot of Big Gold heavies have been using $1500-$1600 as the base camp for the next leg of the ascent for quite a few months.
Funniest thing is that it could just as easily explode to the upside and then everyone would still have previous posts/knew it was going to happen because of X or Y reason...
I've probably said it 100x by now: Dollar cost average your acquisitions of silver/gold. Want leverage? Then for every $1 you put into Gold put $2 into silver, or vice versa depending on your risk appetite and what you like more. Save your dry powder for dips and for fucks sake buy them (read: BTFD). If the chart of silver/gold looks like a unicorn boner on the 1-3 month (look at April-May 2011 for a boner example) then don't fucking buy yet. Wait until it comes back down to the moving averages/mean like it usually does and never forget the game you're playing at. I'll admit I bought at $35 on the last dip but I also bought at $30... I've also bought at $28... $22... etc.
Your timeline shouldn't be day trading this stuff and if it is, you're braver than I am and I don't really agree with that style Sometimes you'll get better value out of your fiat during the exchange, sometimes you won't at that particular time. The point is that you're accumulating purchasing power, not paper and over time real assets will outperform the massively overprinted arena that is fiat currencies right now.
To quote an old german farmer: "Money is money and paper is paper." Yes right now fiat still buys you goods and services. Of course it does and it might for some time to come. Hell, it might never go away, it might just get re-valued. You never know... but there will come a day when you don't want to be caught with your pants down pushing around paper assets losing every dime you thought you had in a flash.
But don't listen to me... I'm just a "bagholder"
I've advised to break that brake.
Very good advice here...
However, I do love me some silver, so Im having a few little nibbles
my bullion cares not.
So it's not chicken bullion.
What does this mean for the EUR/USD?
hahaha, the EUR/USD? a plaything of the MegaBanks
my two cents: see you at 1.30 in December and 1.5 in April
so why are the markets not realllly plunging? if its worse than 2008, why arent we seeing panic right now? markets are way under 2 pct in the red...why did BAC just turn green!!!!!?!?!??! if this is really so bad, what gives???......
Agree Kito, was going to post exactly the same... sure, a bit of a sell of on the S&P but why is there still a bid.? Then again, I've been 100% wrong since S&P left the launchpad on Oct 4th on mr Olli Rehn rumor on something called EFSF (remember?) and how it was going to be 'Leveraged'.
three words: Options Expiration Friday.
Can you elaborate for the unknowledgeable?
http://www.marketwatch.com/optionscenter/calendar
Closing of the options or options expiration causes price volatility.
It's like the 20 seconds before they close betting at the craps table, bets are made quickly, and people change bets based on bets other people make or who is holding the dice and if they changed dice or not.
http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article20677.html
don't forget the massive failed options that will happen at MF Global. Those margin calls are fucked.
I was thinking the same thing. It always does seem to go a little more volatile right before expiry. Everyone running around getting money to cover their bad bets.
Think of them as zombies when there are no fresh brains to eat. All they want is to eat brains, but if no brains are available, they just kind of mill about, as if they were looking for something to do but don't know what it is or why they should do it.
On the financial news shows now you have people changing their tune every 10 minutes trying to fit their broken ponzi understanding of the financial world to current circumstances, as a witch doctor insists his rain dance prompted a hurricane.
Talking about zombies, where is MDB when we so desparately need him to talk the market back up?
Breaking: Iceland is going to bail out the EU. Everything better.
Europe on the rocks?
It's the new drink. Everyone's swallowing it.

I didn't know they rebranded Kool-Aid!
Because the Fed is buying futures to give the illusion things are OK? I mean, why not right? They buy MBS, Treasurys, Agencies, FX currencies, etc. Why not buy stocks?
The Fed and the ECB are about to rev up their printing presses which will cause massive inflation and silver to explode. However, it is possible a 2008-like drop will occur in silver. If it does occur, it would be a much smaller and more brief dip. There are many differences between now and 2008:
1) In 2008, nobody knew if the Fed would save the banks, now everyone expects the banks to be saved.
2) Rates were able to be lowered to 0%. Now, they have been at 0% for nearly 3 years and cannot be lowered further.
3) The Fed's balance sheet has been expanded to nearly $3T. I wouldn't be surprised to see that number double in the next year in order to stop the banks from imploding, which will cause a surge in inflation.
4) In 2008, it was a banking crisis and the risks from the banks were transferred to the sovereigns. Now, it's a sovereign crisis with nowhere to transfer the risks to accept paper them over with printing.
5) If Europe goes down, the entire Western banking system collapses..so they will print.
agree
I think we`ve probably seen the bottom in silver, however in a 2008 style sell off you might see silver touch something like say 23.50 breifly
get some money ready for some paper silver if that happens, then convert to physical once the price is back above 30
The Fed shot their wad. It didn't work. Deflationary collapse dead ahead.
There are absolutely no signs that the Fed is shrinking the money supply. Think about what you're saying and what it would take for the fed to shrink the money supply. The Fed would have to raise interest rates to get ahead of inflation. The Fed would have to stop bailing out the banks and allow depositors to lose their money. The federal government would have to stop going deeper into debt, which means that at least 40% all federal spending would need to be cut. The Fed would have to stop backing mortgages. Fannie / Freddie / FHA programs would have to end. Housing would collapse. None of this is happening and there are no signs that any of it will happen. All signs point to socialism / crony capitalism / bailouts / money printing.
Thank you!
These clueless and/or dishonest, disingenuous deflation callers are nothing but a screaming autistic child in the serious financial and monetary conversation.
My pleasure. I love talking about this stuff because the more I do, the better I get at communicating it and this is my place to do so. I'm currently putting together a website with Q & A about money so hopefully soon I can just copy and paste responses to these misguided statements.
I'm actually pretty sure we close the week above 1270.
I just love pre-black friday sales.
I sort of assumed that a big part of the gold run up was hot money.
Let's see if those guys have the guts to pull out. If gold is the only future, then liquidating Au just to play for another week in other parts of the market (which have no future at all) is going to be a tough decision.
You'll have to work for your bonuses now, frat boys.

Better run through the jungle...
The Plunge Protection Team is on the job to levitate the market. Nothing to see here. Move along. Of course, as soon as elites have their new world currency ready for release, things will change rapidly. They will let the markets collapse, and then destroy the dollar, the euro, the yen, and the pound, thereby destroying all paper wealth so that the sheeple will beg for the elites' new currency. Then the elites will ultimately seize all physical assets that have any debt tied to them.
Clink, Clink, Clink... Yep it's all still there.
Its funny what happens as time goes on and you get less fiat for every oz of gold, meanwhile the price of food,fuel,energy and water keeps rising and the price of housing keeps falling.
looks like IBM about to pinch off another turd in uncle Warren's tub in a minute.
yes but will the /ES break below 1200 before the Bernankster saddles up the fourth horse of the financial apocalypse to ride in for the save?
Flight to safety -
Lean Hogs, Nat Gas, Lumber, Orange Juice, and Cocoa
Gold is not a safe haven today unless you're trying to hide under the big red bulls eye that the financial Fat Boy is landing on
The real flight to safety is removing one's assets from their commodity accounts. Apparently "fiduciary" means "belongs to JPM and BAC whenever they decide to take them".
Flight to bankrupcty--anyone with money or positions in paper accounts.
Flight to the future, physical gold and silver.
