A Peaceful, Stress Free, (Lack of) Labor Day Open Thread
Two weeks ago we had a "bear market" open thread in which we lamented the arrival of the recession, or the resumption of the depression, depending on one's proclivity for dramatic flair. It took the rest of the world about two weeks to catch up to what our commentators already knew. Today, in turn, we want to celebrate a peaceful, calm, (lack of) labor day holiday following which we are positive the markets will reopen calmly, in an orderly manner, with modest volume, declining 3M USD Libor, a collapse in the Libor OIS and with no invocation of Rule 48 whatsoever, by opening it up to our readers' very cool, calm, collected and politically correct stream of consciousness.

Dont get you Americans. I've been in Texas for the the last 3 months and its been red hot - all everybody does is moan about the weather.Try BBQ'ing in an English summer. Wet sausages and soggy buns I tell you. I haven't worn a pair of trousers since I arrived here and I love this heat. God Bless America.
Mad Dogs and Englishmen, go out in the midday sun.
The toughest Burmese bandit can never understand it.
In Rangoon the heat of noon is just what the natives shun.
They put their scotch or rye down, and lie down.
In the mangrove swamps where the python romps there is peace from twelve till two.
Even caribous lie down and snooze, for there's nothing else to do.
In Bengal, to move at all, is seldom if ever done,
But mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun.
Indeed
Wet sausages and soggy buns is the kinda nonsense I used to see in my old gym's steam room.
Yuck.
Should've turned the steam up son, to obscure aforementioned wet sausages and soggy buns. Nobody needs that in their life and ain't no man gonna take that beef with me.
Must be some form of reptile.
Older couple are sitting on their back deck, enjoying the evening and a great old bottle of wine.
After a few minutes of silence, the wife quietly says; "I love you".
Husband looks over and asks; "Was that you talking, or was that the wine"?
Wife says; "That was me talking to the wine".
Ha! My wife sent me that in a text yesterday.
Btw, I am in Dallas. This infernal heat can drive one to drinking.
And in Alaska it's the cold.
C'mon now, be honest with yourself.
And in one teenie tiny part of the Winter Home of the Great Satan, it's just right!
I will spend some time this labor day weekend refining my custom proprietary market charting interpolations, which have yielded me significant gains since I re-entered the markets a month ago, abondoning my old criteria of noble fundamentals. I have tentatively titled them; Mammon's Bondage Bands and Baal's Bowel Moving Averages. Rock on et cetera...
Don't forget to go to grocery for goat entrails and chicken bones...
Its that time, here's to waiting........... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9znA_dwjHw
SCOTCH bitchez.

L.A. traffic right now is totally gridlocked.
Everyone is excited about the long weekend.
99% of the sheeple I see driving their SUV's, brand new pickup trucks, new Toyta Prius, Camaros, Dodge Challengers, etc.
They have never heard of:
- Angela Merkel
- Quote Stuffing
- Credit default swaps
- Interbank LIBOR
All they want to know is how to bet on the upcoming NFL and NCAA football games, when they are going to get laid again, and how much beer they can drink this weekend. And a few will be watching the NASCAR chase.
LSU vs Oregon...
have to go with darron thomas
Texas vs. Rice
gotta hook 'em
with a $ Bil in gold bullion, those hooksters can flat ass re-cruit!
word
Rice??? The Horns should find a worthy opponent for their opener... Like Oklahoma... ;)
Snidley you are speaking well! I'm impressed! FIAT is a figment of the past...> Care to discuss jpy/chf?
Go Rice! My alma mater...
Gig 'em!! A&M mine.. ;)
Condy or Susan?
Who cares as long as she's sticky.
Cotton Condy?
Go Blue!
stop posting on the internet and get a job. Oh, wait......
Pretty sure Warren won't be taking any baths this weekend.
Also Chris Flowers will either take his phone off the hook or cancel all weekend plans.
No, but he's arranged for a smorgasboard of Cleveland Steamers to celebrate Labor Day.
TPTB should not be surprised that formerly proud laborers shrug off the desire to toil for the sake of banks, insurance companies, politicians, and the Kleptoligarchy of Washington and Wall Street.
They should not be surprised that people will labor for themselves, keep their labors, and look for every way possible to not participate in the ponzi scheme called "banking" and "government" and "IRS".
It is easy to say that the Greeks are lazy, but perhaps the only way they could rebel againt the tyranny of oppressive foreign banks and their own government was to slough off the yoke of usury and taxation.
Hope everyone has a good weekend, and for God's sake don't bank at Citi or Chase or BAC or any other bail out bank or insurer.
hey, eb!
did you use spellcheck for the first para?
Why did the hipster burn the top of his mouth?
He ate his slice of pizza before it was cool.

20110830 - OWOC Gulf of Mexico flightand BP expects people to believe that there is "0 chance that macando is leaking again"? But I guess if it's not in the MSM it's just not really happening...
What's the difference between Fukushima and the BP Oil spill?
(we're inventing this joke... I don't have a punchline yet)
No difference --- both were Krugman-approved Keynesian stimulus at its finest.
Better question: What's the difference between a corroding barrel of nerve gas and a Noble prize in economics?
Worst, punchline, ever!
The bad one leaves Paul alive.
I don't know but they both involve a lot of core-exit.

Looks like I picked the right week to stop sniffing Hopium.....
Blue Diesel, Bitchez!
All bad things will pass, time to look beyond the troubles to a new day coming.
Zorba made it through some very difficult times many years ago. When Zorba was a boy about to
enter manhood, Zorba's parents signed Zorba up to be cabin boy on a Greek vaseline tanker.
The bad memories eventually faded and now Zorba looks to the future with an optimistic view.
I always heard it was manhood that entered...never mind.
I have a 3 day weekend. Love my life
Same here. But our holiday system is so fucked up where I work that I will get paid double time and a half for working today. I have Sun. Mon. Tues. off.
Our track record is serial herd behavior
This is the truth, it is hidden, it is how we got to the present crisis.
The system severely fools the people. Our track record is serial herd behavior: “Real Homes, Real Dow” at http://homepage.mac.com/ttsmyf/RHandRD.html
And it is kept out of sight! Clearly, the main enabler of sizable asset price bubbles (very harmful!) is keeping the real price histories out of sight!

Yep..something big coming...soon....I can feel it in the air....now....I thought we'd make it to 2012 but now I'm not sure at all...it feels like an imploded building...we see the blast puffs...there is a moment of calm...then it starts to fall before the sound even gets to you...
It's that euphoric, weightless feeling you feel in your core, like when you reach the state of equilibrium on a trampoline jump juuuuust before you start falling back down.
Oops; someone moved the trampoline.
Gold up 58 silver up 1.75, yes it will be a calm, cool, peaceful laborless day weekend. hope all of you agree.
PEACE, LOVE AND BEAD BITCHEZ (to go with your beans, bullets and bullion) Happy labor day to all.
Zorba will sign off will a joke; What is the difference between Hilary's cooch and a gold brick?
If you really had to, you could eat a gold brick.

Putting a tube of silver coins in my butt, and pulling it out when it crosses $50! Take a sniff, bitchez!!
Although silver is antibacterial, I do not believe that that is the optimal mode of application.
(Note to self: do not purchase any tarnished silver coins in the future, no matter HOW low the premium may be. Also, check the underside of the tube cap for ..... residue.)
Welcome to tbe bank of Galactic Haggle. Please breathe in the big G in front of you that we can acess your account. Thank You! The bank can not honor your request because you are 6 miles from home, this is a nightly pattern, you are drunk and under the influence of certain bio engineered amoeba and there is a police checkpoint where you would certainly get stopped, and have your driving and walking privileges terminated and you need to pay us for allowing you to use the Galacting Haggle. We have billed your account *29.x44 credits to cover the legal costs you would have experienced that we have saved you. We have billed you for the likely 3 years in GH prison, all your meals and expenses for our having to keep you alive to pay your bills. Have you acted to breed within the last 10 days? Please remember to provide a sample of tissue that it may be placed upon your bill for future payments. Galactic Haggle suggests you walk down Z to X, turn right, go through the great forest for 12 feet, turn left and try to make it home or we will bill you for a taxi. So far we have only billed you for having to call a taxi, and the trip charge, tip and insurance. Please don't make us use the taxi.
No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the house. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The question before the house is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at the truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings. Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the numbers of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth, to know the worst, and to provide for it.
I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the House. Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received?
Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with those warlike preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlement assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us: they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation.
There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free--if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending--if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained--we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us! They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength but irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable--and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.
It is in vain, sir, to extentuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
Thank you for that Patrick Henry speech.
Your Welcome Maverick.
The Crisis is a collection of articles written by Thomas Paine during the American Revolutionary War. In 1776 Paine wrote Common Sense, an extremely popular and successful pamphlet arguing for Independence from England. I believe that the words he wrote then are just as appropriate for what we are looking at today.
December 23rd 1776
"I turn with the warm ardor of a friend to those who have nobly stood, and are yet determined to stand the matter out: I call not upon a few, but upon all: not on this state or that state, but on every state: up and help us; lay your shoulders to the wheel; better have too much force than too little, when so great an object is at stake. Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it. Say not that thousands are gone, turn out your tens of thousands; throw not the burden of the day upon Providence, but "show your faith by your works," that God may bless you. It matters not where you live, or what rank of life you hold, the evil or the blessing will reach you all. The far and the near, the home counties and the back, the rich and the poor, will suffer or rejoice alike. The heart that feels not now is dead; the blood of his children will curse his cowardice, who shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death. My own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. Not all the treasures of the world, so far as I believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for I think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am I to suffer it? What signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? If we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other. Let them call me rebel and welcome, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul by swearing allegiance to one whose character is that of a sottish, stupid, stubborn, worthless, brutish man. I conceive likewise a horrid idea in receiving mercy from a being, who at the last day shall be shrieking to the rocks and mountains to cover him, and fleeing with terror from the orphan, the widow, and the slain of America.
There are causes which cannot be overdone by language, and this is one. There are persons, too, who see not the full extent of the evil which threatens them; they solace themselves with hopes that the enemy, if he succeed, will be merciful. It is the madness of folly, to expect mercy from those who have refused to do justice; and even mercy, where conquest is the object, is only a trick of war; the cunning of the fox is as murderous as the violence of the wolf, and we ought to guard equally against both. Howe's first object is, partly by threats and partly by promises, to terrify or seduce the people to deliver up their arms and receive mercy. The ministry recommended the same plan to Gage, and this is what the tories call making their peace, "a peace which passeth all understanding" indeed! A peace which would be the immediate forerunner of a worse ruin than any we have yet thought of. Ye men of Pennsylvania, do reason upon these things! Were the back counties to give up their arms, they would fall an easy prey to the Indians, who are all armed: this perhaps is what some Tories would not be sorry for. Were the home counties to deliver up their arms, they would be exposed to the resentment of the back counties who would then have it in their power to chastise their defection at pleasure. And were any one state to give up its arms, that state must be garrisoned by all Howe's army of Britons and Hessians to preserve it from the anger of the rest. Mutual fear is the principal link in the chain of mutual love, and woe be to that state that breaks the compact. Howe is mercifully inviting you to barbarous destruction, and men must be either rogues or fools that will not see it. I dwell not upon the vapors of imagination; I bring reason to your ears, and, in language as plain as A, B, C, hold up truth to your eyes.
I thank God, that I fear not. I see no real cause for fear. I know our situation well, and can see the way out of it. While our army was collected, Howe dared not risk a battle; and it is no credit to him that he decamped from the White Plains, and waited a mean opportunity to ravage the defenceless Jerseys; but it is great credit to us, that, with a handful of men, we sustained an orderly retreat for near an hundred miles, brought off our ammunition, all our field pieces, the greatest part of our stores, and had four rivers to pass. None can say that our retreat was precipitate, for we were near three weeks in performing it, that the country might have time to come in. Twice we marched back to meet the enemy, and remained out till dark. The sign of fear was not seen in our camp, and had not some of the cowardly and disaffected inhabitants spread false alarms through the country, the Jerseys had never been ravaged. Once more we are again collected and collecting; our new army at both ends of the continent is recruiting fast, and we shall be able to open the next campaign with sixty thousand men, well armed and clothed. This is our situation, and who will may know it. By perseverance and fortitude we have the prospect of a glorious issue; by cowardice and submission, the sad choice of a variety of evils — a ravaged country — a depopulated city — habitations without safety, and slavery without hope — our homes turned into barracks and bawdy-houses for Hessians, and a future race to provide for, whose fathers we shall doubt of. Look on this picture and weep over it! and if there yet remains one thoughtless wretch who believes it not, let him suffer it unlamented.

For those wondering when and why the price of physical gold will become distinct from paper claims on gold, I offer this: Pan Asian Gold Exchange (PAGE) as the most likely candidate short of a nuclear implosion of the monetary system.
This development "is going to be a step-change in the price discovery mechanism - delivered exactly on time to synchronise with what the charts are telling us." I concur.
Could be, fellow FOFOA fan.
Maybe Chavez taking his (99 tonnes?) back might trigger it as well? Although, that is NOT a Black Swan...
My thinking is that it will be a Black Swan that brings a fast freegold.
In this Jenga game of horrific proportions, you may very well be right. It's about time for some real price discovery.. Though, as our Bearing points out, plenty of nuclear material (EU) out there for said implosion..
when in danger, or in doubt: run in circles, scream and shout.
Yes, that will be my IM status for the next few days.
In the interest of a stress free weekend I predict the following will occur Tuesday or soon after:
1) Obama, during his jobs report before Congress (to foster new jobs) will announce the removal of any and all oil drilling restrictions in the gulf. In addition, by executive order, he will open all coastal areas of the United States as well to oil exploration.
2) He will announce his mistake in pushing Obamacare and work with the Republicans to have it repealed.
3) Bernanke will retire and his last act will be approving an independent team to audit the gold in any facility they may wish to visit.
4) Al Gore will admit his fraud in pushing Global Warming and ask for forgiveness -- as well as returning the billions in his coffers.
5) A gold standard will go into effect the first of the year, the price allowing to rise based on extant paper dollars.
6) Bill Marher will announce his retirement from broadcasting and moved to Tripoli -- whereupon he will mysteriously disappear.
7) Harry Reid.......well I could go on and up but already I'm so relaxed I won't need to take my blood pressure bill tonight.
Have a great weekend!
That must be some mighty good stuff you are putting in your pipe there, Jim.

Tempted to get some FAZ, but it's hard to say what will happen to bank stocks when they get QE 3.
Anyone else bullish on Au and Ag mining stocks?
Apparently the HUI (bullish gold stocks index) is looking ready to rocket.
Yes , bullish on miners, juniors and seniors, I am sticking with royalty co.s, and producers that have at least one or more quarters of increasing production and revenue. It has been a wild ride over the past month, but so far has returned big + even on some days when the dow gets creamed. Definitely not for a regular investor. I am in it for the long term during this sovereign debt crisis / monetary crisis / socialism epic fail crisis.
I am. GDX closed above 604; GDXJ closed above 38.25. Some of these stocks are stupid cheap, p e ratios of under 7. Compare to NFLX, pe ratio of near 54 for a company that provides a "service" that goes for as little as $8/month. Ridiculous. If you compare NFLX's chart to GDX's in recent weeks, you can literally see where the money is going. So says I, anyways.

9|11: The Winnersbe prepared to be thoroughly & utterly disgusted.
no, no, tip. The real beneficiaries of 9/11 were Dick Cheney, the Carlyle group, the Israelies and the CIA. The Mossad set the charges in the buildings with nanothermite obtained by the CIA, while Cheney and the CIA arranged for four different war games that put fake blips on the screens of the air traffic controllers. Now that heartless fuck (literally - he doesn't have a heartbeat) is gloating on the MSM, thinking, i'm sure, what a bunch of retards these people are. Read Crossing the Rubicon by Michael C. Ruppert. It's all laid out and was known in 2004, but the fuckheads who run this country labeled it a "conspiracy theory." The level of disgust this book will generate is nothing compared to that dumbass...

Ray, after reading this article 10 years after seeing the Tragedytm Live in 3D, honestly i couldn't care less anymore if it was the tooth fairy with her magic Tesla wand. even IF it were discovered that the OCT (Official Conspiracy Theorytm) was indeed the Truth (with a capital T), it wouldn't change my opinion that, since that day, the moral fabric of this Countrytm has become rotten to the core beyond the Point of No Return. only thing i'm interested in at this point is what becomes when the compost settles.
just got hired at a MAJOR private equity firm... 40B AUM 200 employees... figure it out

Ahh, Monsieur Strauss-Kahn...I'm glad to see things are looking up for you.

Smoke that Hopium much?
Get real, and get off of your high horse.
These bandits OWN America, and OWN your congress, and OWN your Supreme Court.
What are you going to do about them?
I took a look at your facebook page Howie.
The difference between Starbucks and the average small busines is I don't have tens of thousands of BennyBux to give to Obama to get a waiver on his job-killing "healrthcare" mandate.
That alone is prohibitive for business large and small. You know that. That's why you got a waiver.
You obviously voted for Obama. And I bet you want to re-elect him.
Live with it.
As for myself, come Nov. 2012 and if Obama's still there I will do the paperwork to fold my humble Corp.
I'm hanging by a thread now.
i read on the net the other day that some astrophysicists have found a planet 1400 light years away,that by spectroscopy is made of pure carbon. AND by the amount of light reflection must be made of pure DIAMOND. can you imagine what dirt would be worth to those who live there!!!!..........just something for perspective

It would be worth nothing.
Think about it.
