How Long Until The Bank Of Israel Has To Be Bailed Out On Its Apple Investment?
In what was likely the most ominous news from last week (and a near certain top for the stock) we reported that now none other than the Israel Central Bank was going long shares of AAPL. While the implications for stocks in general are extensive and were previously discussed, it is worth noting that the Israel Monetary Authority now has a big MTM loss on its Apple investment (although as Greece and the ECB have taught us, a central bank can book a "profit" even when a given security is trading at an all time low, and completely irrelevant of what one's cost basis is). And where Israel is, it is quite certain that other central banks have boldly ventured as well. So how long until the Fed has to open an FX swap line with Tel Aviv to bailout Stanley Fischer in this latest of hare brained schemes to keep the Ponzi system going? And how long until it has to be extended to the nearly 250 hedge funds who are now also long the stock, with the universe of incremental buyers disappearing by the day? What is most stunning is that Apple dipped a modest 3% intraday... Which just happened to be the biggest decline since November 2010.

Seems as though the post rate on ZH has gone down drastically. NDAA in full effect?
On a long enough timeline (thanks to NDAA) the post average on ZH will reach ZERO.

Well ya know that Garden of Eden thing started with an apple and it probably ends with an aapl.
And the common thread was getting F*uck'd !
You can bet the Saudi Prince is NOT happy owning 10% of Apple...but then again Stevie sold it to him for $12.00 a share. "Friends" count.
Frankly, Apple can go down hard to a buck, they deserve it after all the horid 'right-wing-nut' anti freedom, anti privacy, anti civil rights effords they have funded.
Makes me want to puke to see their crap in the schools that MY MONEY is funding.
If Israel/Fischer/Rthschld said it was going long US Equities, it probably really meant they were dumping them...
right out of the Goldman/Rthschld/Buffet playbook, no?
"See these great opportunites(that we hold massive quanties of), we think you should buy them(we're cleansing our portfolios of same)."
Don't forget Saul Alinsky, you forgetful buffoon! Oh, sorry. That's politics, which has nothing to do with anything.
"'right-wing-nut' anti freedom, anti privacy, anti civil rights effords they have funded"
Curious that it's the left wing crazies that are implementing all of these policies.
Actually, Doc, that is something on which the left and right have fully cooperated. See the man, HR.347.
You could of put that more tactfully. ! I was just thinking, vis a vis the statement of the intra-day dip; and what have you; maybe they really do ring a bell at the market top; DING !.
It's pretty normal. In a bull market the traffic on all finance sites goes way down.
I must admit my retail stock portfolio has been underperforming for some time now given Bernanke's ridiculous and childish hawkishness. I'm sick of this blatant manipulation of retail stocks by stingy CB's and impotent primary dealers. I'm seriously considering taking everything out of the stock market, putting it into US treasuries and just going off the grid – you know, just to teach them a lesson. Equity investors have sacrificed a lot for this country, and the lack of liquidity from central banks has been simply appalling.
You missed a big window of opportunity for your satire.
It should have been along the lines of, Oh great, so the bank of Israel is gambling with US FOREIGN AID of 3 billion a year, and now took it to the Casino. Where do I sign up to pay more taxes to fund Israel's foreign aid some more?
;)
3 Billion are you kidding we give them 50 Billion a year. I mean come on what can you buy with 3 Billion its chump change.
"Israel is gambling with US FOREIGN AID..."
Not necessarily...
a. Israel announces it is 'investing' in AAPL stock, baiting the hook,
b. AAPL stock climbs nicely as more fish bite, a few days later,
c. One or more 'sell' orders pound the stock,
Is this reminiscent of Hilliary's cattle futures trade?
Who was behind these sales?
The best place to hide something is in plain sight.
Just sayin'...
I'm so especially fond of the fact that the USA does not institute a government religion HERE, but rather it's OK to fund Israel with $3B a year...Israel being a country where they have a mandatory draft for government service (both genders) but "ten thousand" yeshiva students (Rabbi schools) are exempt...all male of course! (You gals might also love the favorite Rabbinical praise to their Satanic god: "Thank you for not making me a woman.")
Don't hold your breath waiting for any protests over here.
I'm seriously considering selling all my gold, silver, guns and beans and throwing everything I have into the market. I'll probably move into an inner city and live totally dependent upon the grid. I have put my full faith and trust into the Bernank with his digital money and Obama with his god like vision for the country. The future is bright.
i'll take your beans
I will do you a favor give me a price for the job lot and I will take it off your hands.
Move over MDB, there's a new sheriff in town, baby.
Strange, my commodities portfolio has love uncle Ben.
Catch the knife!! Hurry!! Somebody catch the knife!! Anyone. Beuller.....Beuller.....Beuller.....
The new new shekel?
Doesn't the Torah warn that one should beware of snakes bearing AAPLs?
that's why the Talmud effectively supersedes the Torah in practice...

I thought Jews were smart.
They win all of the hard Nobels. The darkies win the fuzzy, soft ones.
The Jews are from Africa.
No. You are looking the picture from the wrong side. They are not "FROM" but "TO" where the money is. Look at the link below and see. They were everywhere, wherever the money was. When they "rob" their money with the financial trickery and get their ass kicked, move to new rich territory. Problem right now is that Chinese are no fools and their planed new destination "India" turned out to be a complete bust.
Pay attention to the dates in this list.

That's why they need others to do the stealing for them, (e.g. Yamashita's gold, Black Eagle Trust, CIA) who then trust the Zionists to take care of the loot for them. It has been alleged that that trust is misplaced.

AAPL = Schlemiel
Israel Central Bank = Schlimazel
So who is Hasenpfeffer Incorporated?
Corporations aren't people.
I thought the US Supreme Court has a different opinion
Off Topic but, it's how they continue the Illusion, Fake Economy and Global Ponzi Scheme.
It seems that back in 1913 the United States was short of cash. World War I had depleted the treasury and there were several really bad financial panics -- in 1907 especially -- so the country needed to print more money than it had as equity to restore confidence in the money supply and get the economy back on its feet.
When you or I need more money, we use something as collateral and go to a bank for a loan. When a country needs more money it has to go somewhere also. But in 1913 there wasn't anywhere to go. So the US created the Federal Reserve Act. This established a private central bank (The Federal Reserve Bank) that would regulate the amount of money the US government was allowed to borrow and put in circulation. It also would expect to be repaid, like any bank, with interest.
After only 20 years things went from bad to worse. During Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency, in 1933, the US was unable to pay its debt. The county was bankrupt. The private banks that made up the Federal Reserve demanded their money and Roosevelt responded. He had to use the only thing left of any value to pay the banks and continue doing business with them -- the citizens of our country. Us!
Exactly how all this was orchestrated is too lengthy to be addressed here, but this much can be told. The original birth or naturalization record for every U.S. Citizen is on file in the official records in Washington, D.C. (you get to keep a copy!) and the property and assets of every living U.S. Citizen is pledged as collateral for the National Debt!
Within two weeks and three days each Certificate of Live Birth is to be filed in Washington D.C. Evidence reveals that there is even a Federal Children Department established by the Shepherd/Townsend Act of 1922 under the Department of Commerce that appears to be involved in this process in some way. Every citizen is given a number (the red number on the Birth Certificate) and each live birth is valued at from 650,000 to 750,000 Federal Reserve dollars in collateral from the Fed.
This kind of makes you feel a little different when you look at Federal Reserve Chairman, Bernanke, doesn't it?
Names in "ALL CAPS" on Birth Certificates
Since the early 1960s, State governments have issued Birth Certificates to "persons" with legal fictional names using "ALL CAPS" names. This is not a lawful record of your physical birth, but rather the acknowledgement of the "birth" of the juristic, all-caps name. It may appear to be your true name, but since no proper name is ever written in all caps (either lawfully or grammatically) it does not identify who you are. The Birth Certificate is the government's self-created document of title for its new property -- you and me! In a way, it makes us a kind of corporation whose company name is the same as our real name, but written in ALL CAPS. This "corporation" then generates taxes and wealth over its lifetime and in this way repays the collateral that Uncle Sam borrowed from the Federal Reserve.
Remember that "Bond" thing printed on the bottom of the certificate?
Birth certificates are a form of securities called "warehouse receipts." The items included on a warehouse receipt, as descried at §7-202 of the Uniform Commercial Code, the law which governs commercial paper and transactions, which parallel a birth certificate are:
Birth certificates now appear to at least qualify as "warehouse receipts" under the Uniform Commercial Code. Black's Law Dictionary, 7th ed. defines:
It is not difficult to see that a state-created Birth Certificate, with an ALL CAPS name is a document evidencing debt the moment it is issued.
Once a state has registered a birth document with the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Department notifies the Treasury Department, which takes out a loan from the Federal Reserve. The Treasury uses the loan to purchase a bond (the Fed holds a purchase money security interest in the bond) from the Department of Commerce, which invests the sale proceeds in the stock or bond market. The Treasury Department then issues Treasury securities in the form of Treasury Bonds, Notes, and Bills using the bonds as surety for the new securities.
This cycle is based on the future tax revenues of the legal person whose name appears on the Birth Certificate. This also means that the bankrupt, corporate U.S. can guarantee to the purchasers of their securities the lifetime labor and tax revenues of every citizen of the United States/American with a Birth Certificate as collateral for payment. This device is initiated simply by converting the lawful, true name of the child into a legal, juristic name of a person.
Legally, you are considered to be a slave or indentured servant to the various Federal, State and local governments via your STATE-issued and STATE-created Birth Certificate in the name of your all-caps person. Birth Certificates are issued so that the issuer can claim exclusive title to the legal person created thereby.
Sleep well, fellow slaves.

Riiiiiiight. The US was short of cash in 1913 because WWI had depleted the treasury.
Never mind that WWI started in 1914!
how many years in advance do you suppose the central bankers had WWI all planned out?
It couldn't be too many years, because they needed to wait until after 1884 when frenchman Paul Vieille invented a smokeless powder called Poudre B and then wait for Herr Krupp to develop a suitable device to use it.
Unfortunately for everyone involved the first cartridge using smokeless powder was the French 8mm Lebel, the caliber of the Chauchat, which is widely considered to be the worst firearm ever created.
Nice catch. Our nation was essentially bankrupt — weakened and financially depleted in the aftermath of the Civil War. The Civil War itself was nothing more than a calculated "front" for some pretty fancy footwork by corporate backroom players. It was a strategic maneuver by European interests (the international bankers) who were intent upon gaining a stranglehold on the neck (and the coffers) of America.
The Congress realized our country was in dire financial straits, so they cut a deal with the international bankers — (in those days, the Rothschilds of London were dipping their fingers into everyone's pie) thereby incurring a DEBT to said bankers. If we think about banks, we know they do not just lend us money out of the goodness of their hearts. A bank will not do anything for you unless it is entirely in their best interest to do so. There has to be some sort of collateral or some string attached which puts you and me (the borrower) into a subservient position. Hence, The Act of 1871 was passed.
diu lei lo mo
Maybe it was the Spanish American war...Remember the Maine!
So, if the Dept. of Commerce has all the original birth certificates, why doesn't Barry trot over there and borrow the original to show us? Who has "exclusive title to the legal person created thereby' of Barry? I've been wondering about that for some time. Name some names. Inquiring minds want to know. .
You only have a birth cert if your perents gave you into slavery , as obummers did not give him into slavery he has no birth cert , read the long post above , thats why social services can take your children ,they are not your they belong to the state you only have the right too look after them for the state with thier rules. Get rid of the birth cert they then become yours again.
The word "Bond" is nowhere to be found on MY birth certificate. Methinks thy tin-foil beanie is too small!
If they bought the top of the iBubble and go to war with iRan I guess we know who the global patsy is.

Hi
my name is Ana, and i´m in Portugal... i want make friends
You have sexy avatar! Sexy sexy silver!
thanks Mr Lennon :)
i like silver very much because it´s white and pure like me...
Then you are not portugeese.
Eu sou portuguesa, de Portugal :)
Waitress: More coffee?
George: Excuse me, darling, do I detect a Portuguese accent?
Waitress: Si
George: Das kaffes un salat e grand por favor.
Waitress: Mute pragalas senor
George: Eh, don't mention it.
Elaine: Portuguese?
George: Yeah, my cleaning lady's Portuguese. I must've picked it up.
Elaine: How come he's gettin' so smart? I stopped having sex with Ben three days ago and I don't know no Portuguese.
beeing waitress is a very nice job... an honest job. But for your information i am a very graduated portuguese, with 37 years old, single, and very handsome. And i have silver :)

welcome to zH!
have you ever heard of pulling the silver BiCheZ' train?
thanks. no
you are most welcome, silver_grrrrrl!
;)
Don't get caught with your pants down in the silver market.
Ps...
Could you bed over and pick that silver coin up for me.?
they call me 'silvermember'....you wanna see why??
No, but she might be portuguese.
:)
Sure you're not a Brazilian ladyboy?
Sure you´re not an American Idiot??
With or without benefits?
lol... benefits is for both parts...
Tell that to the CB's.
this should be good...
Bernanke has plenty of Fed money to bail out his buddies. No fear, he has an infinite amount of printed USDs.
They bought Apple with phunny money. Not a big issue.
Plenty more where that came from.
What they did was buy out a private holder's equity position and at the same time bought permission to act against Iran. Money talks.
Apple has obvious exposure to the macro economy, but unless you know their cost basis these comments are meaningless. Apple is up nearly 50% in less than 4 months. If they got in in late November they could simply be priming the market for their own exit. When CB's manipulate the market it is called policy.
When Steve Wozniak said Apple was could be worth $1,000 a share that pretty much sealed the fate of the stock. That statement will bite him in the rear soon.
Wozniak is a tech guy. He is what all Apple fanboys try to emulate. I wonder if his statement actually swayed anybody in the financial world.
No it didn't influence anybody in the financial world, but usually when comments like those come from"insiders" (even though technically he isn't) they always come back and get them in the end.
going to las vegas would be more prudent...
it's no wonder they need to bomb iran for some trumped up "they have weapons of mass destruction" paranoid imbecility.....
AAPL has had two crashes in a month...
Even though the stock has strong outlook for the longs, the tape feels toppy-top-top.
These are large positions exiting which has a feeling to it like the stops are being played.
Two knives in a month should have every short-timer out of the stock.
Its all about the options. Both of those mini crashes had to do with dealers hedging the shit ton (we're talking like 5-10x of ADV) of calls bought to the upside. An expensive stock as AAPL is, you can imagine that a few hundred thousand shares does not simply move the price a penny or 2 like a much cheaper name.
I don't get it, I thought the US gives Israel billions a year (3 billion in 2007) in foreign aid and they have leftovers to invest in our stock market ? I thought they had their own market ? Hey 3 billion would help a lot back here.
That's a little like my neighbor who is defaulting on her mortgage but just went out and bought a new Volvo wagon.
They are reinvesting (or rehypothecating) part of the billions that Bernie Madoff has on deposit.
It is my understanding that massive political pressure is used to force institutions to buy Israeli bonds. Financial institutions all over America own this stuff whether they like it or not. Follow the money. We are all Zionists. Bank of Israel uses our money already.

Oops.
Does that mean that a central bank can short the stocks of a company as well? Can the PBOC short Goldman or JPM? Can the Korean bank short Apple and fund Samsung? What happens when a company loses "value" because of a foreign central bank?
talk about a worm in an Apple
oh no!! Apple is down nearly 2% from its ALL TIME HIGHS, these apple posts are ridiculous
Think we need a correction to that "since November, 2010"... APPL dropped from a new high of 526 to 485 intraday about 7-10 days ago...

Only way to keep them as long term holders is to put them underwater on their trade. And little by little push it lower and lower until they fold and sell for a lot less than they paid.
