But if you had purchased $1,000 worth of wine, consumed the fermented grapes and returned the bottles for the recycling refund, you would have around $200, in addition to a good time. With the tech (Nasdaq: ^IXIC) and financial (NYSEArca: XLF - News) meltdown out of the way, many believe that the time of bottle recycling refunds outperforming stocks has passed. There is some evidence though that loading up on wine - at least to dull the pain of another decline - isn't a terrible idea. Let's examine both points of view. Bull Market Argument #1 - Stocks are Cheap Even though the economy is in the worst shape since the Great Depression, economists at large believe that stocks (NYSEArca: IVV - News) are cheap. In fact, with the S&P (SNP: ^GSPC) trading above 1,200, analysts claim that stocks are the cheapest since 1990 (Bloomberg, April 26, 2010). Quite to the contrary, on April 16, in no uncertain terms, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter stated: 'at current earnings, prices and dividend yields, stocks are not cheap. The message conveyed by the composite bullishness is unmistakably bearish. The pieces are in place for a major decline.' If stocks were cheap at S&P 1,200, they must be dirt-cheap at S&P 1,100. Cheap based on what assumption though? Based on analysts' projections, earnings for the S&P 500 are to reach an all-time high in 2011, surpassing even the 2006 peak. Since earnings make up half of the price/earnings (P/E) ratio, stocks appear cheap based on record projected earnings. The key word is 'projected.' A recent Associated Press article states that 'their track record shouldn't give anyone confidence. History shows analysts rarely get it right when it comes to predicting how much companies will earn. Analysts almost never see a recession

coming.' Looking at data from the last 25 years, research from the consulting firm McKinsey & Co. found analysts have estimated annual earnings growth to be about 10 - 12% for the S&P. Actual growth has only been about 6%. Keep in mind that the past 25 years housed the biggest bull market in American history. We've previously analyzed the folly of relying on projected earnings forecasts and therefore, will only pose two more facts as food for thought before moving onto the next argument. Even if earnings are positive the market can decline, as we've seen with the 9% and 17% declines in January and May. Most of the earnings growth has been fueled by cost-cutting, not organic growth. What does that tell us about the sustainability of growth? Bull Market Argument #2 - Cash on the Sidelines Cash on the sideline is viewed as bullish because, theoretically, it can be used to buy stocks and drive up prices. Some distinguish between corporate cash and retail cash on the sidelines. Many forget that for every dollar in cash, there is a debt that has to be repaid. According to the Federal Reserve, nonfinancial firms' debt totals $7.2 trillion, the highest level ever. As far as retail investors go, the current debtincome ratio is at 126%. The pre-bubble average was around 70%. To get back to the pre-bubble norm, about $6 trillion worth of debt would have to be eliminated. Retail money in money market funds is currently around the same level as it was in 2006/2007. Is that bullish? Debunking the Bond Myth No doubt there's been a migration from investment dollars out of stocks and into bonds and gold. The iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (NYSEArca: LQD - News), iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (NYSEArca: HYG - News) and SPDR Barclays Capital High Yield Bond ETF (NYSEArca: JNK - News) have benefited from this migration. It's generally perceived that money in bond funds is safe. Did you know that corporate bonds dropped as much as 27% in 2008? Did you know that junk bonds dropped as much as 47%? To assume that money stored in bond funds will always be there to buy stocks is nave. The current bond yields, in fact, confirm the notion that bonds are reaching bubble territory. The yield of inflation protected 10-year TIPS has dropped below 1%. The iShares Barclays TIPS Bond ETF (NYSEArca: TIP - News) is close to its all time high. The risk in 10-year Treasuries is high as well. If 10-year Treasury yields rise from 2.8% to 4%, bondholders would suffer a loss that would equal three times the current yield. That's not catastrophic, but not bullish for stocks either. Bonds - especially corporate high yield bonds - could soon assume the role real estate had in 2006. Many thought that real estate (NYSEArca: IYR - News) will always go up. As it turns out, real estate prices can move in both directions, as can bond prices. A Closer Look at Gold What about gold? With nearly $40 billion in assets, the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSEArca: GLD - News) has become the second biggest ETF behind SPY. The iShares COMEX Gold Trust (NYSEArca: IAU - News) exists in the shadow of GLD. It is unlikely that money that has moved into gold will flow back into equities. If gold is at the brink of a bull market, there is no reason for investors to pull money. If the economy does deteriorate further, gold regardless of its price - will still fare better than equities. To summarize; Yes, investors have been yanking record amounts out of stock funds. Nevertheless,

mutual fund cash levels are still at an all time low. As the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter noted, mutual fund cash levels are a fairly reliable contrarian indicator. The more invested mutual funds are, the higher the chance for a correction. The previous cash level low was recorded in August of 2007. We know what happened then. Rather than focusing on the sideline cash, perhaps we should focus on the trillions of dollars still in the market. More selling means lower prices. 'Stocks are Cheap' vs. Realistic Valuations Using projected earnings to determine the markets real value is like counting chickens that have yet to hatch. Things change, and as studies have shown, analysts and economist are usually the last to discern that change. Market forecasting based on solid facts is tricky enough, but basing forecasts on thin assumptions usually translates into financial suicide. That's why we like to stick to facts that come directly from the market. It increases the odds of success. In a recent study, we plotted three of the most basic, but most reliable, valuation metrics against the historic performance of the Dow Jones (DJI: ^DJI). The visual results were clear and undisputable. Stock market tops when P/E ratios are high, dividend yields are low and mutual fund cash reserves are low. Over the past year, we have seen P/E ratios at an all-time high, dividend yields close to their 1999 low, and mutual fund cash levels at an all-time low. In addition, we have also seen investor optimism soar to levels reminiscent of 2000 and 2007… YAHOO [BRIEFING.COM]: ‘Some ugly data sent stocks spiraling lower Thursday. The selloff slowed when the stock market approached its monthly low, though. The tone on trading floors turned uneasy with this morning's release of initial jobless claims figures for the week ended August 14. Not only did the tally hit a half million for the first time since November, but it also exceeded the 475,000 claims that had been widely expected. Early weakness was exacerbated by the worst Philadelphia Fed Index in just over a year. The Index's August reading was widely expected to come in at 7.5, but it dropped to -7.7 instead. A gradual selloff ensued. The breadth of the selling effort took stocks through support levels of the two prior sessions and only eased when the S&P 500 came within reach of the August low that was set this past Monday. Though technical support helped stocks stem their losses, pressure persisted into the close and stocks failed to squeeze higher in the final hour…’

Denial, as blissful as it is for the time being, does not serve as protection against the inevitable.A perfect example of denial is the May 6 flash crash. Neither Wall Street, the financial media, nor investors wanted to see the danger of such a meltdown beforehand. After it happened, they were in denial about the cause.

Denial is Bliss The simple truth is that the market was ripe for a major correction. A few weeks before the flash crash, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter noted the extremely low CBOE Equity Put/Call Ratio and warned: 'It seems that only a minority of equity positions are equipped with a put safety net. Once prices do fall and investors do get afraid of incurring losses, the only option is to sell. Selling, results in more selling. This negative feedback loop usually results in rapidly falling prices.' As it turns out, there was no clumsy-fingered trader at fault for the decline that reduced the Dow (DJI: ^DJI) by more than 1,000 points in one day. If it had been a simple error, stocks wouldn't have fallen to new lows after the flash crash. If it had been a simple error, the S&P (SNP: ^GSPC) and Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC) wouldn't still be trading below the flash crash close. The Reality of Denial But, that's the power of denial. Since the April 26 highs, the S&P has been moving from lower highs to lower lows. On July 1, the S&P had arrived at 1,011. The ensuing rally lifted the markets by nearly 10%, but failed to push the S&P and Nasdaq above the July 21 highs. The July 21 highs failed to move above the May 12 highs. The May 12 highs were significantly short of the April 26 highs. Despite the obvious downtrend, investors get as excited about dead end bounces as ever. This is not a bullish omen. In fact, according to the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter's technical analysis, the steepest leg of the decline is still ahead. Before we look at more technical details, let's browse through some fundamental factors that reflect the current state of denial: Don't Worry About Bank Failures 111 banks were added to the FDIC's failed bank list thus far in 2010. At the same time last year, only 76 banks had been shut down. According to an FDIC press release, Metro Bank of Dade County had total assets of $442.3 million and total deposits of $391.3 million. Assets outweigh liabilities by $51 million. That's good, but apparently not accurate. According to the FDIC's press release, closing Metro Bank will cost the FDIC $67.6 million. Why? Because an accounting trick allows banks to artificially inflate their assets. The accounting trick allowed this small bank to overstate its assets by about 25%. Other banks on the FDIC list overstated their assets by more than 50%. Imagine the size of the problem, considering that the four biggest banks (NYSEArca: KBE - News) of the country have about $7.5 trillion in combined assets. We should also point out that none of those losses technically affect earnings, at least not yet (for a detailed analysis refer to the June issue of the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter). Don't Worry About Falling Real Estate The National Association of Home Builders reported that its monthly reading of builder's sentiment about the housing market sank to 14, the lowest level since March 2009. Unlike other economic indicators, this index is taken from builders that have their finger on the pulse of Main Street and is forward looking. Despite the rally in equities (NYSEArca: VTI - News) and real estate (NYSEArca: IYR News), homebuilders (NYSEArca: XHB - News) never really saw light at the end of the tunnel. Don't Worry About Foreclosures

According to RealtyTrac, more than 1 million American households are likely to lose their homes to foreclosure this year. This is about 10 times as high as during an average year. 25% of the U.S. household sector has a sub-600 FICO score. Yet, Fannie Mae is offering financing to first-time buyers who only have a $1,000 down-payment. Nearly $150 billion have been spent to keep the doors of Fannie, Freddie and company open. Does it make sense to artificially extend the life of a patient destined to die? In the case of Fannie, politicians seem to think that lending more money and ultimately creating more toxic assets will solve the problems. Even a third grader understands the irony of that concept. Denial is alive and well. Don't Worry About Bankrupt States States are in trouble. The bigger the state, the bigger the trouble it seems. California has a $1.8 trillion economy. If CA was a country, its economy would be the seventh biggest in the world, bigger than Russia. But, CA has no money. CNN reports that as many as 200,000 state workers in CA could see their pay scale slashed to minimum wage, if orders from the governor's office are followed. You don't need to be one of the 200,000 to know that is bad. To go from state salary to minimum wage is a huge drop. Don't Worry About Falling Prices Look around and you see a general downtrend develop: U.S. stocks (NYSEArca: IWB - News), international stocks (NYSEArca: EFA - News) and emerging market stocks (NYSEArca: EEM - News). The same applies to commodities (NYSEArca: DBC - News), real estate prices (NYSEArca: RWR - News) and consumer goods. The above-mentioned 'don't worries' all contribute to the deflationary spiral (see image below for a visual). Unemployment remains high because businesses have no pricing power. This leads to lower income, default foreclosures, and ultimately even higher unemployment. Even Bernanke knows, there is no easy fix to a deflationary cycle. Once engrained, it feeds on itself. [chart] Don't Worry About Death Crosses A death cross is one of the most powerful technical indicators. It occurs when the shorter simple moving average (SMA) crosses below the longer SMA. Over the last few weeks we saw literally dozens of such death crosses. Most notable was the S&P, Dow Jones and Nasdaq experiencing not only a death cross created by the 50 and 200-day SMA, but also courtesy of the 10 and 40-week SMA. Despite the rally from the July lows, the sell signal triggered by the various death crosses remained active. The fact that the Dow Jones was the only major index to rally above the June 21 highs provides an additional bearish non-confirmation. Over the past ten years, the buy/sell action triggered by the SMA crosses has a success rate of 75% - 100%. Winning trades outperformed losing trades by a ratio of at least 3:1. In investing, those are not the kind of odds you want to bet against. In other words, it's time to face reality and abandon denial. Leading up to the April highs, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter noted a pinnacle of denial which was reflected by investors' outright enthusiasm about stocks. At a time when approximately 8 of 10 investment advisors and newsletter writers were bullish on stocks, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter noted: 'The message

conveyed by the composite bullishness is unmistakably bearish. The pieces are in place for a major decline.' Since April 26, the major indexes dropped as much as 17%. Despite the recent rally, this seems to have been only the first installment of a significant decline. This decline is now in progress. In fact, the August issue of the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter explains the one chart-pattern that explains why the next leg down will be strong and powerful. A British Historian noted decades ago that a wise person does at once what a fool does at last. Both do the same thing; only at different times. Will you get out of the markets way in time, or too late? Here’s a new piece of the dismally murky puzzle which belies a previous raison d’etre for rally: Greek Bonds Slump As Austerity Backfires, Country Enters “Death Spiral”, And The Violent End Game Approaches . Previously, Walmart same store sales were actually down (overseas results were up), and, think about it. Isn’t Walmart, as essentially an american based sales agent of china products a ‘contrarian indicator’ for the the u.s.; that is , hasn’t Walmart’s rise coincided with american main street’s demise. Similarly, fraudulent wall street high frequency churn and earn programmed trade scams among many other frauds as yet unprosecuted has heralded the death knell for american business and the economy, generally. Old news at best and, that ‘not bad as expected, better than expected dog don’t hunt no more’! ‘YAHOO [BRIEFING.COM]: … Retailers were also strong. As a group retailers climbed 1.8%. Discount retail giant and Dow component Wal-Mart (WMT 51.02, +0.61) was a solid performer on the back of in-line earnings and an improved forecast. Home improvement retailer and fellow Dow component Home Depot (HD 28.31, +0.93) had a more positive influence over retailers. It posted better-than-expected earnings for the latest quarter, but issued a rather mixed forecast. A smaller-than-expected increase in housing starts during July didn't do anything to derail the stock this session. Housing starts for July increased 1.7% month-over-month to an annualized rate of 546,000 units, which is less than the rate of 555,000 units that had been widely anticipated. Building permits for July fell 3.1% month-over-month to an annualized rate of 565,000, which is below the rate of 573,000 that had been expected…’ But, just a push of the computer programmed trade button and off we go, reality / valuation / economics be damned. In real security analysis (very simplified / summarized), as opposed to the continued frauds on wall street, one must begin with the largest and most significant aggregate (a simple word picture / analogy: ‘rising tide lifts all boats’). If you get this right, the probabilities in your favor are substantially enhanced. From there, you want leading industries, and leading companies within said leading industries (again, larger aggregates then picks, to enhance probabilities, not guarantees, in your favor). Your time frame, 1-3-5 yrs tops for projections, (including income statement/EPS, balance sheet, and applying an appropriate P/E – a detailed, multi-faceted approach beyond what could be described in this summary); and, that’s all they are, projections. Beyond that time frame, your guess. On fraudulent wall street,

every day, though already discounted in large part (6-8 mos, approx.), the market spins, churns, and with lightning fast computerized high-frequency trade programs commissions in huge volumes like no other time in financial history when real valuation meant something, with no net economic value added, but very lucrative to the frauds on wall street, which ultimately is a net detriment to the economy / the nation /and other industries as we’ve seen and as described elsewhere on this site and in these posts http://albertpeia.com . Preposterously, they even sometimes refer to seasonal factors as if hearing them for the first time and ‘explaining’ an up move (almost invariably already discounted). Today, they shrugged off the deepening economic reality despite the election year frothing / manipulations. This is a global depression. This is a secular bear market in a global depression. The past up move was a manipulated bull (s***) cycle in a secular bear market. This has been a typically manipulated bubble as has preceded the prior crashes with great regularity that the wall street frauds and insiders commission and sell into. This is a typical wall street churn and earn pass the hot potato scam / fraud as in prior crashes’. This national decline, economic and otherwise, will not end until justice is served and the wall street frauds et als are criminally prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed. ]. Are You Ready For How Bad It Will Get? Graham Summers | ‘There are numerous components in the latest GDP number that are extremely suspect. The vast majority of investors are going to be taken to the cleaners. I realize this view is far from the consensus. Even those who are in the bear camp aver that the Stimulus did in fact bring us out of recession at least temporarily. However, I would strongly contend that the recovery was in fact nonexistent for the following reasons: 1. The Government data used to validate the recovery (GPD, unemployment, etc) is clearly massaged if not bordering on outright propaganda 2. We are in fact in a depression and the “recovery” was simply a bounce in economic activity taking place within the context of a larger economy contraction Regarding #1, every Government data point used in promoting the “recovery” had some degree of fudging in it. Let’s consider GDP for instance. There are numerous devious tactics used to overstate GDP growth, however, the most obvious gimmick the BLS uses is overstating GPD growth in the present and then revising it lower in the subsequent quarters.’ Celente: Stock Market Crash Before End of 2010 Gerald Celente believes that the stock market will crash before the end of 2010 , gold will soar.

Kaufman on High Frequency Trading ‘Sen. Ted Kaufman (D., Del.) has been banging the drum on the need for regulatory changes to high frequency trading for a while. His latest thoughts on the matter take the form of a letter to SEC Chairwoman Mary Schapiro urging — among other things — major high-frequency trading firms be required to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Dow Jones Newswires’ Jacob Bunge reports: In addition, regulators should consider requiring chief executives of computer-driven trading firms to certify under oath that their algorithms do not manipulate prices in U.S. stock and derivative markets, according to Kaufman. “In the aftermath of the flash crash, this is an historic moment for the Commission, a moment when it must fulfill its obligation as steward for those investors who lack the clout of Wall Street’s largest financial players,” the senator wrote in an Aug. 5 letter to Mary Schapiro, chairman of the SEC. Kaufman’s letter to Schapiro came as the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission prepare to issue in early September a final report on the market events of May 6, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped by nearly 1,000 points before swiftly recovering. As we’ve noted before, at the heart of events of the May 6 “Flash Crash,” was a decision by certain market makers to cut back trading, and in some cases pull out of the market all together. Since so much of the market’s liquidity comes from high-frequency trading or statistical-arbitrage firms, some say there should be additional obligations to ensure that these firms don’t pull out of the market. Last week, New York Sen. Chuck Schumer offered some of his suggestions on how to sort out the obligations of market makers, whom he seemed somewhat sympathetic toward. He noted that since some of the obligations he proposed were “burdensome and making markets is voluntary … the Commission should consider appropriate incentives for high frequency traders to become market makers.” Kaufman seems to be taking a tougher line with respect to market makers. In his letter to the SEC he writes: The SEC should impose some liquidity provision obligations on high frequency traders. Enhanced requirements should be crafted to encourage high frequency traders to post two-sided markets and supply investors with a consistent source of deep liquidity. In addition to affirmative liquidity provision obligations, the Commission should consider instituting negative obligations as well. We have a hunch on which approach the industry is likely to prefer. At any rate, the Kaufman letter is worth a read for market wonks. Check it out.’

HOW TO BEAR MARKET PROOF YOUR PORFOLIO Simon Maierhofer, On Friday August 13, 2010, ‘… The 22 trading days following the April 26 market highs erased eight months worth of gains. Bear markets move much quicker than bull markets. Rule #1: Better too Early than too Late

When preparing for a bear market (we'll discuss in a moment why we have been preparing for a bear market), it is prudent to start early. Anyone who sold their long positions as early as September last year would be in a better position than the buy-and hold crowd that is still clinging to their holdings. Rule #2: Don't Trust Wall Street and the Media By now, even the mainstream media is sensing that something might not be quite right with the market's performance. However, there is still hope that the second half of the year will get a lift from positive earning results. Before you bet your money on that line of reasoning, consider the picture the media painted days within the April 2010 market top. April 19, 2010 'America is back - The remarkable tale of an economic turnaround' – Newsweek 'Recovery tilting to V-shape as profits prompts growth revision' Bloomberg April 25, 2010: 'U.S. stocks cheapest since 1990 on analyst estimates' – Bloomberg 'Technical Analysts see room to roll' - Wall Street Journal April 27, 2010 'Greece contagion fears unfounded' - Reuters May 3, 2010: 'Manufacturing in U.S. grows at fastest pace since 2004 as recovery gains traction' - Bloomberg Over the past two and a half months, the S&P (NYSEArca: SPY - News) and Dow (NYSEArca: DIA - News) have lost as much as 17%. A 20% loss is considered the mark of a new bear market. In essence, we are only one bad day away from the next bear. Of course, throughout the massive bear market rally from the March 2009 lows, which the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter predicted via the March 2, 2009 Trend Change Alert, the newsletter maintained that it was only a bear market trap which would fool a majority of investors. On April 16 it stated that 'Most bulls have no clue why they are bullish except for the fact that they feel the need to play the momentum game. Sounds like 2000 and 2007 all over again. The message conveyed by the composite bullishness is unmistakably bearish.' Rule #3: Don't Underestimate Cash In a period of falling prices, cash or cash equivalents like short term Treasuries (NYSEArca: SHY - News) maintain your purchasing power long-term Treasuries (NYSEArca: TLT - News) are interest rate sensitive and may move faster than you think. When stocks fall and you are able to

maintain your purchasing power, you are able to buy stocks at a discount. In essence, cash offers a positive return in periods of falling prices. Additionally, or alternatively, investors may choose to buy short or leveraged short ETFs such as the Short S&P 500 ProShares (NYSEArca: SH - News), UltraShort Russell 2000 ProShares (NYSEArca: TWM - News) UltraShort S&P 500 ProShares (NYSEArca: SDS - News), Short Financial ProShares (NYSEArca: SEF -News), Direxion Daily Financial Bear 3x Shares (NYSEArca: FAZ - News) and many more. Rule #4: Don't Procrastinate On May 14, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter predicted that the S&P (NYSEArca: IVV - News) will fall through the important 1,040 resistance level. Aside from a small cluster of resistances (one being round number resistance), a break below 1,040 opened the door wide for significantly lower prices. We mentioned above that we've been preparing for a reemerging bear market even before the April highs. Why? Simply put, stocks are overvalued. How can that be? One of the above headlines read that U.S. stocks are cheapest since 1990, at least according to analyst projections. The key word is projections. Analysts project operating earnings for the S&P to clock in at $94.83 in 2011. This is higher than the 2007 peak of $91.47. That's right, despite record high unemployment, a European (NYSEArca: VGK - News) debt crisis, a 17% U.S. market correction, and all the other problems economists expect corporate profits will exceed their 2007 all-time highs. Does that sound reasonable to you? Keep in mind that projected earnings are just that - projected. They can and will change. In fact, analysts have a reputation of following the trend. In April 2008, analysts predicted earnings of $113. After cutting its forecast to $53, Goldman Sachs cut its earnings forecast to $40 in March 2009. As we know today, stocks rallied, and actual 2009 earnings came in at $56.87. The list goes on, but the simple message is that analysts tend to be overly optimistic before the fall and overly pessimistic before a rally. Right now they are overly optimistic. The conclusion is easy. Rule #5: Know who to Trust Even when basing the current P/E ratio on overly optimistic estimates, it is still far away from the P/E ratios seen at historic market bottoms. The same holds true for dividend yields. A look at various valuation measures shows that the market is overvalued by much more than just 10 or 20%. The ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter provides a detailed analysis of four valuation metrics with a near spotless track record of historic accuracy…’ No Exit, Stage Left or Right Peter shiff ‘… Those who fear a double dip recession are justified in their concerns, but they are also missing the big

picture. The 2008 recession never ended. It was merely interrupted by trillions of dollars of stimulus that purchased GDP “growth” with borrowed money.

AP Business Highlights ‘Jobs picture dims as unemployment claims rise WASHINGTON (AP) -- The economy is looking bleaker as new applications for jobless benefits rose last week to the highest level in almost six months.

Neutral sentiment, expectations that stock prices will stay essentially flat over the next six months, fell 1.3 percentage points to 30.1%. The historical average is 31%. Bearish sentiment, expectations that stock prices will fall, dropped 8.1 percentage points to 30.1%. This is a 14-week low. The historical average is 30%. The survey period, Thursday through Wednesday, needs to be taken into consideration when looking at these results. Stock prices were essentially flat through most of this week's survey period (with the obvious exception of yesterday), giving some investors hope that a shortterm bottom had been established.

But, truth be told, the fraud giving rise to the financial debacle was home grown americana. Moreover, the remnants of same are still out there in the trillions, now ‘marked to anything they so choose’, courtesy of a complicit, albeit after the fact, congress. This is the point … rather than as should have been the case of making the perps pay, the bailouts / cover-ups by now enablers if not accomplices is ending quite badly with much worse to come, and that includes those european lightweights who have come into the fraudulent wall street fold to theirs and the world’s economic and financial detriment.

That’s all we need. As if we needed more of what brought us to this point! Certainly the fed’s role in the continuing and current financial crisis / debacle cannot be ignored or disputed. Nothing like a hegelian methodology to create the very problems for which they are called upon to offer solutions, increasing their sense of importance, and concentrating power thereby. (Think about it. It is really rather quite absurd that each meeting time the financial markets hold their bated breath for these incompetent boobs). Then there’s the cover-up with an opportunity for enrichment of some, usually the tight-lipped yes-men then ever after and forever bonded in what becomes tantamount to an almost fraternal link by ‘virtue’ of the crime thereby. No, I’m not saying their initial missteps were necessarily badly intended, but the manipulations thereafter to obfuscate their incompetence (senile greenspun, no-recession-helicopter-ben, etc.)

comes at a great price and is nothing less than tantamount to or just outright crime. I’d abolish the fed without hesitation or compunction. After all, at this point of decline and defacto bankruptcy of the nation you certainly can’t point to success nor argue their indispensability. Then there’s also the missing trillions, over-printing of fiat currency, and all that sub rosa activity with the worthless fraudulent toxic paper which I believe is being supplanted with ultimately hard currency to the great benefit of the frauds and great detriment to the nation.] ACCORDING TO TECHNICAL INDICATORS, MELTDOWN IS POSSIBLE Simon Maierhofer A SOLID TRACK RECORD An analysis of the SMA crossover buy/sell signals triggered for the S&P over the past 10 days shows that six of the eight signals (75%) were correct. ..LAGGING BUT ACCURATE Many dismiss the 200-day or other SMAs as lagging indicators. Although an indicator may be lagging it doesn't mean it's incorrect or should be dismissed… Even though a lagging indicator, the rain does confirm that a storm is coming. A PRO-ACTIVE APPROACH You'd expect Wall Street and the financial media to be the financial weather man and warn you of upcoming storms. Unfortunately, that is not so. Leading up to the April 2010 recovery highs, Wall Street and the media proclaimed the skies are clear, 'sunny throughout the year' was their weather forecast. Only after investors got drenched, did Wall Street recommend pulling out the umbrella. Sure enough, as soon as the umbrellas came out, stocks switched into rally mode and the sky cleared up. Unlike Wall Street, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter warned of the brewing storm while it was still sunny. On April 16, the newsletter warned that 'historically, there has rarely been a more pronounced sell signal ... When consumers spend, they do so with credit cards. Visa and Master Card both got hit with a death cross. It's just a matter of time until the discretionary sector follows. WAIT, THERE IS MORE …High copper prices are reflective of high demand and a humming economy. Lower copper prices signal trouble ahead. On June 22, an ominous death cross visited copper's chart. PUTTING THE ODDS IN YOUR FAVOR Investing is a game of probabilities. While you always want to have the odds in your favor, you never want to bet against the odds. Right now, the odds are piling up on the bearish side of the ledger. Even though Wall Street is saying that the sky has cleared up, 'meteorologists' with a better track record are warning of the storm ahead. In fact, there is one rare chart formation that strongly suggests the onset of a 2008-like decline, a development that's certainly supported by the number of death crosses spanning a variety of markets. The August issue of the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter includes a detailed short, mid and long-term forecast, along with the one chart that tells the market's story and true bearish potential.

Another one of those push the computer programmed trade button and off we go, reality / valuation / economics be damned. In real security analysis (very simplified / summarized), as opposed to the continued frauds on wall street, one must begin with the largest and most significant aggregate (a simple word picture / analogy: ‘rising tide lifts all boats’). If you get this right, the probabilities in your favor are substantially enhanced. From there, you want leading industries, and leading companies within said leading industries (again, larger aggregates then picks, to enhance probabilities, not guarantees, in your favor). Your time frame, 1-3-5 yrs tops for projections, (including income statement/EPS, balance sheet, and applying an appropriate P/E – a detailed, multi-faceted approach beyond what could be described in this summary); and, that’s all they are, projections.

Marc Faber Questions if Dow Could Hit 1,000 In the August edition of the ‘The Gloom, Boom & Doom Report’ Marc Faber questions whether the Dow could hit 1,000 as predicted by Robert Prechter, based on his interpretation of Elliot Waves, Fibonacci numbers and socioeconomic trends. Prechter, who has written 13 books on finance (external link), believes that the stock market is historically overvalued in terms of dividends and earnings, because of a “great rise in positive social mood.” But the mood changed in 2000 and the “trend toward negative social mood will lead to an economic contraction,” according to Prechter. “Small bear markets lead to recessions, big bear markets lead to depressions. The current bear market will be the biggest in nearly 300 years, so the depression will be correspondingly deep,” Prechter said.

The stress test is conducted by the London-based Committee of European Banking Supervisors (CEBS). Ironically, the test has ignored the majority of banks' holdings of sovereign debt. Sovereign debt concerns by the so-called PIGS countries (Portugal, Italy, Greece, and Spain) triggered the latest wave of financial problems. Ignoring sovereign debt in the Euro stress test would be like ignoring toxic real estate assets in the U.S. 10% Good - 90% Bad According to a Morgan

Stanley survey, European banks hold about 90% of their Greek government bonds in their banking books and 10% in their trading books. The bonds in the banking book are generally held until maturity, the bonds in the trading book are traded more frequently. According to a document obtained by Bloomberg, the stress test assumes a loss of 23.1% on Greek debt, 14% on Portuguese bonds, 12.3% on Spanish debt, 4.7% on German debt, 10% on U.K. debt, and 5.9% on French debt. However, the stress test only looks at the bonds held in banks' trading books, which account for a mere 10% of Greek bond holdings. Can that be called a stress test? Nouriel Roubini says that 'the assumptions made about economic growth, about sovereign risk are not realistic enough.' The fact that only seven banks failed the test with a combined shortfall of $4.5 billion confirms the lax nature of the test. … The U.S. Bank Stress Test - A Nice Façade A closer look under the hood of the U.S. bank stress test, however, shows that there's not much substance behind the facade either. It was determined that the 19 tested U.S. banks need to increase their balance sheets by $75 billion to meet the conditions of what's termed the 'worst case scenario.' To a large extent, the $75 billion of additional capital was financially engineered. Banks didn't have to actually raise $75 billion. They were able to change the label of some of their assets on their balance sheets. The government supported this practice via mandatory convertible preferred shares (detailed analysis in May 2009 issue of the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter) …’ SEC Says New FinReg Law Exempts It From Public Disclosure So much for transparency.

On the Disconnect Between the Market and the Economy Michael Shulman:


The index of leading economic indicators fell 0.2% in June, the second drop in three months. A negative surprise. Unemployment claims rose to 464,000, more than expected. Uncle Ben said we are facing a period of “unusual uncertainty.” No kidding. Uncle Ben said we need continuing stimulus to a Congress unwilling to stimulate anyone or anything other than lobbyists with cash to contribute. Home sales fell 5.1% in June…’

(No recession helicopter ben) Bernanke Admits Major Policy Failures; Stocks Soar Darryl Montgomery What's wrong with this picture? In his biannual testimony before Congress yesterday, Fed Chair Ben Bernanke admitted that after more than a year and a half of zero interest rates and $3 trillion in federal deficit spending since 2008, the best case scenario for the U.S. economy is slow growth and high unemployment. The S&P 500 is up 2.5% so far this morning on this 'good' news. Bernanke's congressional testimony included the following statements (emphasis added by me): "Most [FOMC] participants viewed uncertainty about the outlook for growth and unemployment as greater than normal, and the majority saw [at the June Fed meeting] the risks to growth as weighted to the downside." "Financial conditions--though much improved since the depth of the financial crisis--have become less supportive of economic growth in recent months." "Many banks continue to have a large volume of troubled loans on their books, and bank lending standards remain tight. With credit demand weak and with banks writing down problem credits, bank loans outstanding have continued to contract." "After two years of job losses, private payrolls expanded at an average of about 100,000 per month during the first half of this year, a pace insufficient to reduce the unemployment rate materially. In all likelihood, a significant amount of

time will be required to restore the nearly 8-1/2 million jobs that were lost over 2008 and 2009."… Serious Analysis has given rise to a realistically mocking view of the current fraud on wall street: The Markets & The 'Teen Drama Economy' Jonathan Cheng If the market’s mood swings these days are reminding you of high school, you’re not alone ...

The Fraud Of Barry Soetoro (a.k.a. Barack Hussein Obama) (Feb. 24 ... February 11, 2009 ’Dear Senators and Congressmen: Thank you for taking the time to review the documentation relevant to the Constitutional legitimacy of the presidency Barack Obama. There have been various problems with the vetting of Mr. Obama throughout the campaign and the present. I’d like to take the opportunity to highlight the most pertinent and alarming issues that have been clearly revealed. I’m sure you will agree that this information must be further investigated promptly before any damage is done to the United States and its citizens beyond the Constitutional compromises that currently exist. Most interesting, though, is the fact that Mr. Obama has not simply ordered the original vault copy of his birth certificate to be sealed and chosen to retain three (3) law firms to defend the various cases spending a reported $800,000 (of whose money?). If Mr. Obama has nothing to hide, then why fight the more than 42 cases in federal courts alone (according to Justia) and similar number in state courts of which the merits are well-founded and substantiated through factual evidence, state and federal statutes, and international laws? Main issue is that the state of HI, according to statue 338 allows Foreign born children of Hawaiian residents to obtain Hawaiian birth certificates and obtain them based on a statement of one relative only. There is plenty of evidence of Mr. Obama being born in Kenya and obtaining his Hawaiian birth certificate based on a statement of his grandparent only, who simply didn’t want to deal with immigration and not based on any records from any hospitals. Extensive searches in the State of Hawaii showed no birthing records for his mother [Stanley] Ann Dunham in any hospital in Hawaii. … I request all of this information to be forwarded to the Senate Armed Services Committee, Senate Finance Committee, Senate Judicial Committee, Mr. Steven Whitlock, director of the whistle blower office of the IRS, ICE, State Department, and FBI for further investigation.

Period! ] With President barack obama’s political dynasty already on life support, his decision to publicly back the hugely unpopular building of a Muslim mosque near Ground Zero confirms that Obama, or rather the advisors that pull his strings, have decided to commit political suicide and cut him loose from the Washington power structure, with the hope of fooling Americans with another establishment Republican as a legitimate alternative in 2012.

bears repeating, that was always a bad idea and there was a plethora of reasons set forth on my site as to why the social security privatization plan being shilled by moron war criminal dumbya bush on behalf of the wall street frauds was an exceedingly bad idea. Indeed, as defacto insolvent as america / the social security system is, the nation and system would have been wiped out by privatization debacle. Talk about too big to, but still failed. It was a bad idea then, and though accusations may fly as to fear mongering, the reality of the venality attendant to such a preposterous course on behalf of the wall street frauds requires vigilance, scrutiny, and discourse concerning even the remote possibility of such a fool-hearty betrayal of the citizenry of the nation.

AP Business Highlights ‘Jobs picture dims as unemployment claims rise WASHINGTON (AP) -- The economy is looking bleaker as new applications for jobless benefits rose last week to the highest level in almost six months. It's a sign that hiring remains weak and employers may be going back to cutting their staffs. Analysts say the increase suggests companies won't be adding enough workers in August to lower the 9.5 percent unemployment rate. First-time claims for jobless benefits edged up by 2,000 to a seasonally adjusted 484,000, the Labor Department said

Thursday. That's the highest total since February. Analysts had expected claims to fall…’

Bearish Sentiment Falls to 14-Week Low [Talk about contrarian indicators!] AAII – ‘Bullish sentiment rose 9.4 percentage points to 39.8% in the latest AAII Sentiment Survey. Despite the size of the increase, the proportion of individual investors expecting stock prices to rise over the next six months is only at a two-week high. The historical average is 39%. Neutral sentiment, expectations that stock prices will stay essentially flat over the next six months, fell 1.3 percentage points to 30.1%. The historical average is 31%. Bearish sentiment, expectations that stock prices will fall, dropped 8.1 percentage points to 30.1%. This is a 14-week low. The historical average is 30%. The survey period, Thursday through Wednesday, needs to be taken into consideration when looking at these results. Stock prices were essentially flat through most of this week's survey period (with the obvious exception of yesterday), giving some investors hope that a shortterm bottom had been established. Though there were big changes in bullish and bearish sentiment, both optimism and pessimism are close to their historical averages. As a result, I would argue that individual investors' confidence in the market remains fragile…’

Previous post: Cities, counties could slash 500,000 more jobs (Washington Post) Could? I’d say must. Particularly when you factor in that this election ‘spurt’ leaving the nation even more bankrupt is illusory. I had occasion some time ago in speaking with a long-time California resident (instructor at the college gym where I worked out) to express my surprise at the bloated (municipal, state) high-priced bureaucracy which of course is not productive except as to higher taxes and which is at the forefront in the city of Bell where the city manager was paid nearly 900,000 annually (with benefits the package was an incredible $1,500,000), and specifically mentioned the part-time typical compensation of $100,000 and contracts to interested, even familial, parties.

Moreover, the remnants of same are still out there in the trillions, now ‘marked to anything they so choose’, courtesy of a complicit, albeit after the fact, congress. This is the point … rather than as should have been the case of making the perps pay, the bailouts / cover-ups by now enablers if not accomplices is ending quite badly with much worse to come, and that includes those european lightweights who have come into the fraudulent wall street fold to theirs and the world’s economic and financial detriment.

That’s all we need. As if we needed more of what brought us to this point! Certainly the fed’s role in the continuing and current financial crisis / debacle cannot be ignored or disputed. Nothing like a hegelian methodology to create the very problems for which they are called upon to offer solutions, increasing their sense of importance, and concentrating

power thereby. (Think about it. It is really rather quite absurd that each meeting time the financial markets hold their bated breath for these incompetent boobs). Then there’s the cover-up with an opportunity for enrichment of some, usually the tight-lipped yes-men then ever after and forever bonded in what becomes tantamount to an almost fraternal link by ‘virtue’ of the crime thereby. No, I’m not saying their initial missteps were necessarily badly intended, but the manipulations thereafter to obfuscate their incompetence (senile greenspun, no-recession-helicopter-ben, etc.) comes at a great price and is nothing less than tantamount to or just outright crime. I’d abolish the fed without hesitation or compunction. After all, at this point of decline and defacto bankruptcy of the nation you certainly can’t point to success nor argue their indispensability. Then there’s also the missing trillions, over-printing of fiat currency, and all that sub rosa activity with the worthless fraudulent toxic paper which I believe is being supplanted with ultimately hard currency to the great benefit of the frauds and great detriment to the nation.]

ACCORDING TO TECHNICAL INDICATORS, MELTDOWN IS POSSIBLE Simon Maierhofer A SOLID TRACK RECORD An analysis of the SMA crossover buy/sell signals triggered for the S&P over the past 10 days shows that six of the eight signals (75%) were correct. ..LAGGING BUT ACCURATE Many dismiss the 200-day or other SMAs as lagging indicators. Although an indicator may be lagging it doesn't mean it's incorrect or should be dismissed… Even though a lagging indicator, the rain does confirm that a storm is coming. A PRO-ACTIVE APPROACH You'd expect Wall Street and the financial media to be the financial weather man and warn you of upcoming storms. Unfortunately, that is not so. Leading up to the April 2010 recovery highs, Wall Street and the media proclaimed the skies are clear, 'sunny throughout the year' was their weather forecast. Only after investors got drenched, did Wall Street recommend pulling out the umbrella. Sure enough, as soon as the umbrellas came out, stocks switched into rally mode and the sky cleared up. Unlike Wall Street, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter warned of the brewing storm while it was still sunny. On April 16, the newsletter warned that 'historically, there has rarely been a more pronounced sell signal ... When consumers spend, they do so with credit cards. Visa and Master Card both got hit with a death cross. It's just a matter of time until the discretionary sector follows. WAIT, THERE IS MORE …High copper prices are reflective of high demand and a humming economy. Lower copper prices signal trouble ahead. On June 22, an ominous death cross visited copper's chart. PUTTING THE ODDS IN YOUR FAVOR Investing is a game of probabilities. While you always want to have

the odds in your favor, you never want to bet against the odds. Right now, the odds are piling up on the bearish side of the ledger. Even though Wall Street is saying that the sky has cleared up, 'meteorologists' with a better track record are warning of the storm ahead. In fact, there is one rare chart formation that strongly suggests the onset of a 2008-like decline, a development that's certainly supported by the number of death crosses spanning a variety of markets. The August issue of the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter includes a detailed short, mid and long-term forecast, along with the one chart that tells the market's story and true bearish potential.

Stocks' Late Push: Some Optimism, Some Pessimism [Late push … as in a constipated bowel movement … Come on! Another one of those push the computer programmed trade button and off we go, reality / valuation / economics be damned. In real security analysis (very simplified / summarized), as opposed to the continued frauds on wall street, one must begin with the largest and most significant aggregate (a simple word picture / analogy: ‘rising tide lifts all boats’). If you get this right, the probabilities in your favor are substantially enhanced. From there, you want leading industries, and leading companies within said leading industries (again, larger aggregates then picks, to enhance probabilities, not guarantees, in your favor). Your time frame, 1-3-5 yrs tops for projections, (including income statement/EPS, balance sheet, and applying an appropriate P/E – a detailed, multi-faceted approach beyond what could be described in this summary); and, that’s all they are, projections. Beyond that time frame, your guess. On fraudulent wall street, every day, though already discounted in large part (6-8 mos, approx.), the market spins, churns, and with lightning fast computerized high-frequency trade programs commissions in huge volumes like no other time in financial history when real valuation meant something, with no net economic value added, but very lucrative to the frauds on wall street, which ultimately is a net detriment to the economy / the nation /and other industries as we’ve seen and as described elsewhere on this site and in these posts http://albertpeia.com . Preposterously, they even sometimes refer to seasonal factors as if hearing them for the first time and ‘explaining’ an up move (almost invariably already discounted). Today, they shrugged off the deepening economic reality despite the election year frothing / manipulations. This is a global depression. This is a secular bear market in a global depression. The past up move was a manipulated bull (s***) cycle in a secular bear market. This has been a typically manipulated bubble as has preceded the prior crashes with great regularity that the wall street frauds and insiders commission and sell into. This is a typical wall street churn and earn pass the hot potato scam / fraud as in prior crashes’. This national decline, economic and otherwise, will not end until justice is served and the wall street frauds et als are criminally prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed. ].

Marc Faber Questions if Dow Could Hit 1,000 In the August edition of the ‘The Gloom, Boom & Doom Report’ Marc Faber questions whether the Dow could hit 1,000 as predicted by Robert Prechter, based on his interpretation of Elliot Waves, Fibonacci numbers and socioeconomic trends. Prechter, who has written 13 books on finance (external link), believes that the stock market is historically overvalued in terms of dividends and earnings, because of a “great rise in positive social mood.” But the mood changed in 2000 and the “trend toward negative social mood will lead to an economic contraction,” according to Prechter. “Small bear markets lead to recessions, big bear markets lead to depressions. The current bear market will be the biggest in nearly 300 years, so the depression will be correspondingly deep,” Prechter said.

Fed says some districts report slowing economy (Reuters) Flaws of the European Stress Test … 'Bank stress test' became the magic phrase. Nothing calms fear like a stress test that's labeled as rigorous. The stress test raises a few very obvious questions: 1) Will it work? 2) Why was it needed in addition to a $1 trillion aid package? 3) Is the stress test just a gimmick to appease investors? The stress test is conducted by the London-based Committee of European Banking Supervisors (CEBS). Ironically, the test has ignored the majority of banks' holdings of sovereign debt. Sovereign debt concerns by the so-called PIGS countries (Portugal, Italy, Greece, and Spain) triggered the latest wave of financial problems. Ignoring sovereign debt in the Euro stress test would be like ignoring toxic real estate assets in the U.S. 10% Good - 90% Bad According to a Morgan Stanley survey, European banks hold about 90% of their Greek government bonds in their banking books and 10% in their trading books. The bonds in the banking book are generally held until maturity, the bonds in the trading book are traded more frequently. According to a document obtained by Bloomberg, the stress test assumes a loss of 23.1% on Greek debt, 14% on Portuguese bonds, 12.3% on Spanish debt, 4.7% on German debt, 10% on U.K. debt, and 5.9% on French debt. However, the stress test only looks at the bonds held in banks' trading books, which account for a mere 10% of Greek bond holdings. Can that be called a stress test? Nouriel Roubini says that 'the assumptions made about economic growth, about sovereign

risk are not realistic enough.' The fact that only seven banks failed the test with a combined shortfall of $4.5 billion confirms the lax nature of the test. … The U.S. Bank Stress Test - A Nice Façade A closer look under the hood of the U.S. bank stress test, however, shows that there's not much substance behind the facade either. It was determined that the 19 tested U.S. banks need to increase their balance sheets by $75 billion to meet the conditions of what's termed the 'worst case scenario.' To a large extent, the $75 billion of additional capital was financially engineered. Banks didn't have to actually raise $75 billion. They were able to change the label of some of their assets on their balance sheets. The government supported this practice via mandatory convertible preferred shares (detailed analysis in May 2009 issue of the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter) …’ SEC Says New FinReg Law Exempts It From Public Disclosure So much for transparency.

In his biannual testimony before Congress yesterday, Fed Chair Ben Bernanke admitted that after more than a year and a half of zero interest rates and $3 trillion in federal deficit spending since 2008, the best case scenario for the U.S. economy is slow growth and high unemployment. The S&P 500 is up 2.5% so far this morning on this 'good' news. Bernanke's congressional testimony included the following statements (emphasis added by me): "Most [FOMC] participants viewed uncertainty about the outlook for growth and unemployment as greater than normal, and the majority saw [at the June Fed meeting] the risks to growth as weighted to the downside." "Financial conditions--though much improved since the depth of the financial crisis--have become less supportive of economic growth in recent months." "Many banks continue to have a large volume of troubled loans on their books, and bank lending standards remain tight. With credit demand weak and with banks writing down problem credits, bank loans outstanding have continued to contract." "After two years of job losses, private payrolls expanded at an average of about 100,000 per month during the first half of this year, a pace insufficient to reduce the unemployment rate materially. In all likelihood, a significant amount of time will be required to restore the nearly 8-1/2 million jobs that were lost over 2008 and 2009."…

WASHPOST Ombudsman: Why Silence on Black Panther Story? (Washington Post) ‘Thursday's Post reported about a growing controversy over the Justice Department's decision to scale down a voter-intimidation case against members of the New Black Panther Party. The story succinctly summarized the issues but left many readers with a question: What took you so long? For months, readers have contacted the ombudsman wondering why The Post hasn't been covering the case. The calls increased recently after competitors such as the New York Times and the Associated Press wrote stories. Fox News and right-wing bloggers have been pumping the story. Liberal bloggers have countered, accusing them of trying to manufacture a scandal. But The Post has been virtually silent. The story has its origins on Election Day in 2008, when two members of the New Black Panther Party stood in front of a Philadelphia polling place.

Previous post: Cities, counties could slash 500,000 more jobs (Washington Post) Could? I’d say must. Particularly when you factor in that this election ‘spurt’ leaving the nation even more bankrupt is illusory. I had occasion some time ago in speaking with a long-time California resident (instructor at the college gym where I worked out) to express my surprise at the bloated (municipal, state) high-priced bureaucracy which of course is not productive except as to higher taxes and which is at the forefront in the city of Bell where the city manager was paid nearly $900,000 annually (with benefits the package was an incredible $1,500,000), and specifically mentioned the part-time typical compensation of $100,000 and contracts to interested, even familial, parties. Of course, no one has done this better than feinstein, albeit on a more federal level and China contracts through her husband’s companies, as previously set forth on this website. Drudgereport: 'Where do the bailouts end?'

Moreover, the remnants of same are still out there in the trillions, now ‘marked to anything they so choose’, courtesy of a complicit, albeit after the fact, congress. This is the point … rather than as should have been the case of making the perps pay, the bailouts / cover-ups by now enablers if not accomplices is ending quite badly with much worse to come, and that includes those european lightweights who have come into the fraudulent wall street fold to theirs and the world’s economic and financial detriment.

That’s all we need. As if we needed more of what brought us to this point! Certainly the fed’s role in the continuing and current financial crisis / debacle cannot be ignored or disputed. Nothing like a hegelian methodology to create the very problems for which they are called upon to offer solutions, increasing their sense of importance, and concentrating power thereby. (Think about it. It is really rather quite absurd that each

meeting time the financial markets hold their bated breath for these incompetent boobs). Then there’s the cover-up with an opportunity for enrichment of some, usually the tight-lipped yes-men then ever after and forever bonded in what becomes tantamount to an almost fraternal link by ‘virtue’ of the crime thereby. No, I’m not saying their initial missteps were necessarily badly intended, but the manipulations thereafter to obfuscate their incompetence (senile greenspun, no-recession-helicopter-ben, etc.) comes at a great price and is nothing less than tantamount to or just outright crime. I’d abolish the fed without hesitation or compunction. After all, at this point of decline and defacto bankruptcy of the nation you certainly can’t point to success nor argue their indispensability. Then there’s also the missing trillions, over-printing of fiat currency, and all that sub rosa activity with the worthless fraudulent toxic paper which I believe is being supplanted with ultimately hard currency to the great benefit of the frauds and great detriment to the nation.] Google-Verizon Pact: It Gets Worse [ Timothy Berners-Lee, putative father of the internet along with Cerf, has already weighed in on this topic and strenuously opposed same and whose learned opinion should be given great weight. google and verizon as mere government shills at best and government, ie., nsa / cia, etc., operatives at worst, are ‘johnny-comelatelies’ and died fast in government hands! ].

Netanyahu: Raid on aid flotilla was 'last resort' after talks failed (Washington Post) Come on!

Stocks' Late Push: Some Optimism, Some Pessimism [Late push … as in a constipated bowel movement … Come on! Another one of those push the computer programmed trade button and off we go, reality / valuation / economics be damned. In real security analysis (very simplified / summarized), as opposed to the continued frauds on wall street, one must begin with the largest and most significant aggregate (a simple word picture / analogy: ‘rising tide lifts all boats’). If you get this right, the probabilities in your favor are substantially enhanced. From there, you want leading industries, and leading companies within said leading industries (again, larger aggregates then picks, to enhance probabilities, not guarantees, in your favor). Your time frame, 1-3-5 yrs tops for projections, (including income statement/EPS, balance sheet, and applying an appropriate P/E – a detailed, multi-faceted approach beyond what could be described in this summary); and, that’s all they are, projections. Beyond that time frame, your guess.

Marc Faber Questions if Dow Could Hit 1,000 In the August edition of the ‘The Gloom, Boom & Doom Report’ Marc Faber questions whether the Dow could hit 1,000 as predicted by Robert Prechter, based on his interpretation of Elliot Waves, Fibonacci numbers and socioeconomic trends. Prechter, who has written 13 books on finance (external link), believes that the stock market is historically overvalued in terms of dividends and earnings, because of a “great rise in positive social mood.” But the mood changed in 2000 and the “trend toward negative social mood will lead to an economic contraction,” according to Prechter. “Small bear markets lead to recessions, big bear markets lead to depressions. The current bear market will be the biggest in nearly 300 years, so the depression will be correspondingly deep,” Prechter said.

Fed says some districts report slowing economy (Reuters) Flaws of the European Stress Test … 'Bank stress test' became the magic phrase. Nothing calms fear like a stress test that's labeled as rigorous. The stress test raises a few very obvious questions: 1) Will it work? 2) Why was it needed in addition to a $1 trillion aid package? 3) Is the stress test just a gimmick to appease investors? The stress test is conducted by the London-based Committee of European Banking Supervisors (CEBS). Ironically, the test has ignored the majority of banks' holdings of sovereign debt. Sovereign debt concerns by the so-called PIGS countries (Portugal, Italy, Greece, and Spain) triggered the latest wave of financial problems. Ignoring sovereign debt in the Euro stress test would be like ignoring toxic real estate assets in the U.S. 10% Good - 90% Bad According to a Morgan Stanley survey, European banks hold about 90% of their Greek government

bonds in their banking books and 10% in their trading books. The bonds in the banking book are generally held until maturity, the bonds in the trading book are traded more frequently. According to a document obtained by Bloomberg, the stress test assumes a loss of 23.1% on Greek debt, 14% on Portuguese bonds, 12.3% on Spanish debt, 4.7% on German debt, 10% on U.K. debt, and 5.9% on French debt. However, the stress test only looks at the bonds held in banks' trading books, which account for a mere 10% of Greek bond holdings. Can that be called a stress test? Nouriel Roubini says that 'the assumptions made about economic growth, about sovereign risk are not realistic enough.' The fact that only seven banks failed the test with a combined shortfall of $4.5 billion confirms the lax nature of the test. … The U.S. Bank Stress Test - A Nice Façade A closer look under the hood of the U.S. bank stress test, however, shows that there's not much substance behind the facade either. It was determined that the 19 tested U.S. banks need to increase their balance sheets by $75 billion to meet the conditions of what's termed the 'worst case scenario.' To a large extent, the $75 billion of additional capital was financially engineered. Banks didn't have to actually raise $75 billion.

(No recession helicopter ben) Bernanke Admits Major Policy Failures; Stocks Soar Darryl Montgomery What's wrong with this picture? In his biannual testimony before Congress yesterday, Fed Chair Ben Bernanke admitted that after more than a year and a half of zero interest rates and $3 trillion in federal deficit spending since 2008, the best case scenario for the U.S. economy is slow growth and high unemployment. The S&P 500 is up 2.5% so far this morning on this 'good' news. Bernanke's congressional testimony included the following statements (emphasis added by me): "Most [FOMC] participants viewed uncertainty about the outlook for growth and unemployment as greater than normal, and the majority saw [at the June Fed meeting] the risks to growth as weighted to the downside." "Financial conditions--though much improved since the depth of the financial crisis--have become less supportive of economic growth in recent months." "Many banks continue to have a large volume of troubled loans on their books, and bank lending standards remain tight. With credit demand weak and with banks writing down problem credits, bank loans outstanding have continued to contract." "After two years of job losses, private payrolls expanded at an average of about 100,000 per

month during the first half of this year, a pace insufficient to reduce the unemployment rate materially. In all likelihood, a significant amount of time will be required to restore the nearly 8-1/2 million jobs that were lost over 2008 and 2009."… Serious Analysis has given rise to a realistically mocking view of the current fraud on wall street: The Markets & The 'Teen Drama Economy' Jonathan Cheng If the market’s mood swings these days are reminding you of high school, you’re not alone ...

The story succinctly summarized the issues but left many readers with a question: What took you so long?

The calls increased recently after competitors such as the New York Times and the Associated Press wrote stories. Fox News and right-wing bloggers have been pumping the story. Liberal bloggers have countered, accusing them of trying to manufacture a scandal. But The Post has been virtually silent.

the repackaged foreign product here (in other words something akin to wall street’s churn-and-earn high frequency computerized commissionable trade programs that in real economic terms is a net negative).

US bank failures in 2010 surpass 100 WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. bank failures this year have surpassed a bleak milestone of 100 as regulators shut down banks in Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Kansas, Nevada and Minnesota. The six bank seizures announced Friday bring to 102 the failures so far in 2010. The pace of bank closures this year is well ahead of that of last year, which saw a total 140 bank shuttered amid the recession and mounting loan defaults … 'Systemic risk' and preventing the next bubble (Washington Post) Come on! We’re in the next bubble; or, should I say in the same bubble inasmuch as the so-called ‘last bubble’ never totally deflated owing to overactive Weimar dollar (now european) printing presses, fraudulent mark to anything accounting among other manipulations, etc.; and a less elastic (ready to burst) one at that. This is quite incredible. The wobama market … based on b*** s*** alone. Yes, there’s a waning full moon. Yes, this is an election year and we’ve seen frothing, false data / reports before. But come on! This is downright ridiculous. I had occasion to hear from a so-called money manager on what used to be a balanced business / finance radio program (I seldom listen to said program anymore, truth be told, but owing to a scheduling quirk caught same this day) say that all the economic / business news last week was good. In point of fact, the actual news was all bad (except for some sporadic earnings reports that were discounted many months ago). What parallel universe are these foisty feisty frauds living in? Again, waning full moon Then the infamous federal but not really federal, express in only a month (with blazing full moon) changed downward guidance to upward guidance and based on b*** s***, and voila … another full moon rally (oh yeah, the percentage up from low level housing still low). Are the 30 day lunar cycles at work or just election year frothing? Preposterous. Fundamentals have not changed. Structural problems to the economy and insurmountable debt remain and will worsen. All their computer programmed trading tricks with eye towards so-called technical support, resistance, etc., levels will suck some suckers in as always, they’ll still get their commissions on the way down, and we’ll see the bubble deflate again. This is an especially great opportunity to sell and take whatever profits / gains because there is truly much worse to come and the nation’s defacto bankrupt in every way. This Week in the Markets - Suttmeier ‘ …Bank Failure Friday – The FDIC closed seven banks last Friday bringing the total for the month of July to 17 and 103 for the year. Month to date bank failures have drained the FDIC Deposit Insurance fund by $925.7 million brining the year to date today to

$18.5 billion well above the $15.33 billion prepaid assessments for all of 2010. I estimate that the DIF is now in arrears by $32.7 billion.

Only 25 banks failed in 2008, as the FDIC was slow closing community and regional banks. There were 140 bank failures in 2009 with a peak of 50 in the third quarter. In the first quarter of 2010 there were 41 failures, in the second quarter there were 45 failures, and so far 17 for the third quarter for a year to date total of 103. At this pace bank closures in 2010 will be within my 150 to 200 estimate range for 2010.

Financial Crisis Commission Threatens To Audit Goldman Sachs The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission headed up by Phil Angelides has threatened to audit Goldman Sachs, as it looks for more data on its dealing in derivatives.

The Death of Paper Money Ambrose Evans-Pritchard | As they prepare for holiday reading in Tuscany, City bankers are buying up rare copies of an obscure book on the mechanics of Weimar inflation published in 1974. Yes! I just (7-24-10) looked up and a quandary no longer as I saw the reason for the market action to the upside the last few sessions. A blazing full moon! Lest there be any doubt, truly a testament to the reality of lunacy and the lunar links thereto are the lunatic fraudulent rallies on fraudulent wall street; criminally insane by any standard. This is a global depression. This is a secular bear market in a global depression. The past up move was a manipulated bull (s***) cycle in a secular bear market. This has been a typically manipulated bubble as has preceded the prior crashes with great regularity that the wall street frauds and insiders commission and sell into. This is a typical wall street churn and earn pass the hot potato scam / fraud as in prior crashes’. This national decline, economic and otherwise, will not end until justice is served and the wall street frauds et als are criminally prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed.

INSIDER TRANSACTIONS (Washington Post) Sell / Take profits / gains. That’s what insiders do in contra-indicated stock bubbles as this (and don’t forget, options must be executed and shares bought before they’re sold).

More important are the lunar cycles: China builds influence via cash (Washington Post) Well, cash is something that accumulates when you don’t spend same on illegal wars (as is so of defacto bankrupt america, ie., Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.); note Germany, Japan, etc.. Then there’s the ‘hate’ factor attendant to the ‘killing machine strategy’ which contrary to their folly / imagination, does not win hearts and minds. Then there’s the fraudulent paper push which militates against real, net economic gains. Finally, there’s the american ‘crazy train’ factor which has become ever more globally recognized.

'Tony Hayward is about to get his life back' (Washington Post) In Siberia … Yes, tiny tony of little people fame sent into exile in Siberia as one might expect from the New Soviet Socialist European Union. Note Russia’s Putin has jumped onto that crazy train and to curry favor therein has ‘thrown Iran under the bus’, so to speak. But, then again, what can you expect from a former KGB indoctrinated communist, although america’s now mutated form of capitalism / free enterprise (really not either) might yet resurrect the likes of marx, lenin, trotsky, etc.. I’m somewhat embarrassed to have even considered going to Europe (specifically Switzerland / Geneva) and though language the impediment (I’m hard-wired for english and even with a prior background in French, ie., junior high, high school, recent coursework in French here in Cal did not come easily at all; although, computerization / algorithms in English from inception did, which I believe explains Japan’s difficulty with computers, ie., Sony vaio, Toyota car computerized systems, etc.). Even meaningfully lawless america’s better than Europe (a very low standard / threshold at that), for all the reasons that gave rise to america, plus new reasons which will prove insurmountable having become the ‘lapdog’ joke of the ages as like lemmings they followed fraudulent wall street’s, america’s lead blindly into the abyss.

Army analyst linked to WikiLeaks hailed as antiwar hero: Many rally to soldier's defense after disclosure of classified documents (Washington Post) Indeed, if not him, then who. Pat Tillman, a late convert to that position was fragged for it. Wobama, who was elected in large part for it, has an irrevocably failed presidency for lack of it! He is a hero inasmuch as quite possibly the magnitudes of the frauds might be lessened and civilians spared the american induced ‘hell on earth’!

Push to cut top brass causing much unease (Washington Post) [ Of ‘geese and gold-plated eggs’ … I think only fables, cartoons, and nursery rhymes are the means by which to convey the depth and seriousness of america’s decline / bankruptcy.

Contracting industry anxious about Defense cutbacks (Washington Post) [As well they should be inasmuch as in any rational / solvent nation, they wouldn’t be spending what they don’t have. Defacto bankrupt america, spends what it really doesn’t have in amounts exceeding more than the defense / military spending of all other nations in the world combined. Yes; at long last, the entitlement programs of the military industrial complex warned of by underrated President General Eisenhower are in jeopardy. ]

Pentagon to cut thousands of jobs, defense secretary says (Washington Post) [ Sure sounds like he means business; and, it’s certainly somewhat reassuring to see a state almost as bad as mob infested pervasively corrupt jersey, viz., virginia, take the hit (virginia is predominantly government mob, much of which is cia at that). Yet, one must be skeptical of what this perpetual-war, hot or cold, career cia slug is actually accomplishing with these relatively small peripheral cuts given the defacto bankrupt status of the nation. But, this is one of those rare instances of something being better than nothing since guns verses butter is real economic decision-making and reality. ] Petraeus: Strategy is on track (Washington Post) (What strategy?

The americanization of Afghanistan … hopelessly corrupt … but american ‘liberators’ want their cut from the now hopelessly corrupt liberated nation, in america’s own image, of the heroin trade they’ve worked so hard to restore.] There is growing concern that U.S. support for the war will diminish further if voters continue to see the Afghan government as hopelessly corrupt.

Just being there and every day they’re there is unequivocally abject failure. Celebritology Weekend: Angelina Jolie biography arrives(Washington Post ) I usually don’t weigh in on entertainment news, but this headline concerning what appears to be a disparaging, and quite selectively so, purported biography of Angelina Jolie is very disheartening when you consider the numerous instances of failed leadership at nearly all very high levels of government having so detrimental an impact on the world, that morton deems his time appropriate to an actress who has actually tried to do good things (U.N., etc.) without having to. Indeed, even her latest film ‘Salt’ (spectacular by any standard as is her performance – there are at least 2 winning sequels there with 4 the max and stretching it owing to age – she puts all, and I mean all the ‘Bonds’ to shame) had an important message in terms of the damage to this nation by a seemingly endless, nation-bankrupting, anti-american (war criminal israelis already, and quite correctly, globally hated) sentiment producing war strategy that is neither strategy nor reasonably consistent with any positive american goal / objective; but rather is such a debacle and folly that the same could very well be one that only an enemy of defacto bankrupt america could hatch and for the reasoning set forth in the well-written / directed film. She astutely observed and talked about the synchronicity of the film as juxtaposed to recent events revealing that she is wiser than most in Washington.

‘There will be blood’ … whoops, that’s oil, wrong movie theme. This one’s about heroin trade. 2 More Americans killed in copter crash in Afghanistan (AP) Not so much, unless they rename Tony Montana, To Mon el Swahili and recut ‘Scarface’ to reflect an Aghanistan Heroin connection, or similarly change ‘Hurt Locker’. It’s a good thing for the military that IQ tests aren’t required. Three U.S. Embassy guards killed in rocket attack in Baghdad's Green Zone (Washington Post) Big yes there since ‘The Green Zone’ got Hollywood movie status. Bomb near Iraq mosque kills 15; U.S. soldier dies in road blast (Washington Post, July 22, 2010) But guess what … none of that’s worth it; even for volunteer soldiers whose suicide rate is unprecedented owing to this pointless, meaningless conflagration for the sake of the military industrial complex and the enrichment of the few; and, to which Pat Tillman was to attest which got him fragged. Obama reminds veterans he's beginning war's end (Washington Post) Sounds like a plan! I mean, after all you must have a beginning before you have an end.

Accountability is unclear in israeli probe of flotilla raid (Washington Post) Oh, come on! An israeli probe of an israeli massacre of civilians. Time for israel to pay; for illegal nukes, for violations of international law, for continued violations of u.n. resolutions, for provocations as pretexts to sabotage peace talks, and on and on ad nauseum. Why does america among other nations feel compelled to sacrifice themselves for the sake of a global criminal nation with an insatiable greed and blood-thirst as israel? Murder on the high seas JERUSALEM: Israeli marines stormed aid ships bound for Gaza on Monday and at least 10 rights activists were killed, triggering a diplomatic crisis and an emergency session of the UN Security Council. European nations, as well as the United Nations and Turkey, voiced shock and outrage at the bloody end to the international campaigners' bid to break Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip

How does anyone take the u.s. seriously in light of their credibility problems, war crimes, etc.? What nuke technology israel didn’t steal from the u.s., the u.s. gave them along with missile, armaments, etc..

and paid for with taxpayer money that u.s. taxpayers and the defacto bankrupt nation don’t have. It's time to expel israel from the UN Without doubt, the israeli attack on the Gaza-bound "Freedom Flotilla" in the dawn of Monday, May 31, 2010 is one of the most savage crimes in recent history. It seems the ruling power in Tel Aviv has been afflicted with a variant of mad cow disease; otherwise, how could it be so cruel to unleash such a beastly raid on the "Mavi Marmara," the Turkish flagship of a flotilla carrying medical and humanitarian supplies to the hapless people of Gaza Strip? The israeli Spin-Machine in Overdrive: dershowitz to the Rescue? Armed Israeli commandos, the elite of the elites, rappelled to the deck of a Turkish ship carrying humanitarian relief supplies to the 1.5 million prisoners in the Gaza concentration camp. In 1948, U.S. Secretary of Defense James Forrestal, an opponent of the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine, warned that, even though failure to go along with the Zionists might cost President Truman the states of New York, Pennsylvania, and California, it was about time that somebody should pay some consideration to whether we might not lose the United States.

Finally, he all but ignores what the underrated President General Eisenhower warned of in the form of the unscrupulous, insatiably greedy military/industrial complex which as colonel he but a very small cog in who goes along to get along.

Ron Paul says the CIA has has in effect carried out a “coup” against the US government, and the intelligence agency needs to be “taken out.” I also personally believe there has been a defacto coup d’etat which has manifested in various substantial, blatant, brazened frauds, ie., wall street, missing 360 tons of $100 bills in Iraq, war profiteering, etc., without any fear of prosecution, and of course concomitant decline for u.s. as the treasury is looted.

SEC enforcers get to keep subpoena authority (Washington Post) I believe that they should also be empowered to bring criminal charges inasmuch as the doj and u.s. attorneys offices thereunder seem either unwilling, lacking courage, incapable, without specific knowledge in

the securities field (inept), or just, as is my experience, plain corrupt, politically motivated, and venal. This national decline, economic and otherwise, will not end until justice is served and, ie., the wall street frauds et als are criminally prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed.

There is really no way to rationalize or attempt to justify what america is / has become since they have with open eyes chosen this contraindicated course of ineluctable decline, from illegal wars, to war crimes, to backing war criminal nations as israel, to huge frauds, to war profiteering, to illicit drug trafficking and money laundering, and this list goes on and on …: (Previously) I’d say this alito vs. wobama is a tempest in a teapot inasmuch as alito is more than just a lightweight, hack, liar, fraud etc., as set forth in the comments. alito is a criminal who should have served / should be serving time in prison for obstruction of justice, bribery, among other RICO violations.

Again, here is the important point: that same Gulf Stream II was one of the very same planes chartered to the CIA for the rendition of suspected terrorists prisoners. Gulf Stream II crashed in Mexico with 3 tons of cocaine on board ..it should not be surprising that this illegal practice of rendition has in some part, been used as a well-run smokescreen for another borderless illegal operation- an extremely lucrative international transfer and delivery of cash and narcotics.,,These flights are not subject to regular customs checks, inspections or normal regulations as they move seamlessly between destinations in the US, Britain, Europe, Middle East, Central Asia, Cuba and possibly through US bases in Turkey, Greece and Morocco… Corrupt u.s. courts / judges: Their lifetime plush appointments should be abolished, which corrupt entities are unheard of in productive societies as China, Japan, etc..

You think Iraq was bad? Invading Iran ‘would be lunacy’ Ivan Eland, Director of the Center on Peace and Liberty at the Independent Institute in Washington DC, gives his opinion on new sanctions imposed on Iran.

Lunacy? Keep in mind that this country is run and controlled by lunatics. Our press government and military seem to take their orders from Israel. Isarel wants to be known as a pack of “mad dogs. Do we want “mad dogs” controlling us? Here we see a bunch of phony accusations against Iran just like we did in the run up to the bogus wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and now Pakistan. The boy has cried wold ten thousand times. It’s time to identify the “lunatics” and kindly take away the car keys. If you won’t let your friends drive drunk, why do we let a bunch of “lunatic” enemies run this place. Glen Reply: June 11th, 2010 at 6:47 am Lunacy it would be. But it is also to their great credit that the Iranians have not made their own threats. Everyone knows there are 3 WMD threats, Nuclear Biological and chemical. The scariest of which is Biological. Any attack done under the threat of immediate biological retaliation would deter only the insane. Watch out america home of the insane, home of the leaders who want an 80% population reduction. General McChrystal’s Burning Contempt for the Puppet Obama The farce that is the war in Afghanistan is coming apart at the seams.

In some of us, they live on," Paabo … With regard to that extinction thing, I’d say they’re still working on it (ultimately, decades, extinction, the distinction, without a difference). Actually, prior to studying the compelling subject of Biological Anthropology (Michael Park text), I too had some misconceptions about the group known as Neandertals (recent spelling drops the ‘h’) and actually mis-referenced same by the stereotypical image of members of said clade even as the debate continues as to whether they are within the species homo sapiens or a separate species. I believe these to be distinctions without important differences, so humble the origins and evolution of man truly are.

Roman Polanski freed after Swiss reject U.S. extradition request (Washington Post, July 13, 2010) Without diminishing in any way the seriousness of the crime, this result is the direct consequence of the growing global recognition of the pervasiveness of corruption in american courts, state and federal, and america generally; so much so, that said corrupt american courts cannot be relied on anywhere, anytime. Indeed, my own sampling, though hardly random to be candid, is 5 for 5 (new jersey, new york, connecticut, virginia, california) pervasively and egregiously corrupt to the point where these costly, corrupt bureaucracies should be abolished and supplanted with alternatives as I’ve previously set forth in these comments.

No wonder the failed ‘nation states of the west’ are joined at the hip in such ill-fated ventures as illegal wars, past and present, among many other strategic blunders. Deficit to exceed $1.4 trillion in 2010 and 2011 (Washington Post) Sounds like a plan! … However, unlike other american plans, this is one that they’re sure to accomplish!

Jobless claims jump higher than expected (Washington Post) Sounds like a reason for a feel good rally on fraudulent wall street, however ephemeral. Harry Dent, Jr. Economy will be in a Depression by 2011 The worst of this next depression is likely to hit between mid-2010 and mid-2013, especially around early 2011, but if the banking system continues to implode a deep downturn or depression could begin sometime in 2009 instead of 2010. Dow will Fall to 3,800 – 4,500 by 2012 Nasdaq will Fall Below 1,100, its 2002 low, by late 2010 or mid-2012 at the latest. Inflation will Increase until mid- 2010 and then turn to Deflation Interest Rates will Increase U.S. Dollar will Decline Housing will Decline by 40 – 60% from Today’s Levels Greatest Economic and Banking Crisis since the 1930s will Occur Between 2010 and 2012 They ensured financial regulation overhaul (Washington Post) What overhaul? New bureaucracy, more power to the fed and corrupt incompetents as tiny tim geithner (that $4 trillion’s still missing from the ny fed), no recession helicopter ben bernanke, perps scot free and keep their loot, etc.. Real reform requires that the wall street frauds et als be criminally prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed.

WASHPOST Ombudsman: Why Silence on Black Panther Story? (Washington Post) ‘Thursday's Post reported about a growing controversy over the Justice Department's decision to scale down a voter-intimidation case against members of the New Black Panther Party. The story succinctly summarized the issues but left many readers with a question: What took you so long? For months, readers have contacted the ombudsman wondering why The Post hasn't been covering the case. The calls increased recently after competitors such as the New York Times and the Associated Press wrote stories. Fox News and right-wing bloggers have been pumping the story. Liberal bloggers have countered, accusing them of trying to manufacture a scandal. But The Post has been virtually silent. The story has its origins on Election Day in 2008, when two members of the New Black Panther Party stood in front of a Philadelphia polling place. YouTube video of the men, now viewed nearly 1.5 million times, shows both wearing paramilitary clothing.

Three of every four oil and gas lobbyists worked for federal government (Washington Post) This is an important article but in no way should be limited to the oil and gas industries even if disproportionate to the upside, even as wall street has actually begun occupying capital hill in a manner of speaking. The revolving-door standards and the functions of ‘toll-bridge to taxpayer dollars’ must end. After all, you see, the nation is defacto bankrupt! ‘Three out of every four lobbyists who represent oil and gas companies previously worked in the federal government, a proportion that far exceeds the usual revolving-door standards on Capitol Hill, a Washington Post analysis shows’ Good credit isn't what it was (Washington Post) Gee! I thought this article was about america, pre-defacto bankruptcy compared with now. Leading Chinese Economists Urge Government To Dump U.S. Treasuries, Buy Gold Prominent economists in China are calling for their government to ditch vast holdings of U.S. Treasuries in favour of tangible assets such as gold, a move that would have a far reaching impact on the economy.

Bernanke: Fed ready to step in if economy falters (Washington Post) Step in with what? Another two step (backwards)? They’ve ‘shot their wad’. Moreover, they can’t print the ever more worthless Weimar dollars any faster. Stocks drop as Bernanke warns of uncertain economy (AP) One of those daaah moments courtesy of ‘no recession helicopter ben fed’! On the positive side, however, at least a semblance of reality is extant as opposed to stroking the frauds on wall street to facilitate their churn-and-earn high frequency trade scams (those lofty fraudulent peaks provide room to trade in and are great to sell into).

After all, look at SubSaharan Africa generally … ‘mission impossible’ … and, with huge crime rates in the ‘ states, I’d say ‘look homeward, hell’s angels’. Then there’s the law of parsimony sometimes referred to as ‘Ockham’s razor’ which as a logical approach generally says ‘keep it simple’, only what’s necessary. Then, as well, there’s the defacto bankruptcy thing for america which will preclude meeting domestic promises, necessaries, and expectations. That’s reality along with the fact that: ‘This is a global depression. This is a secular bear market in a global depression. The past up move was a manipulated bull (s***) cycle in a secular bear market. This has been a typically manipulated bubble as has preceded the prior crashes with great regularity that the wall street frauds and insiders commission and sell into. This is a typical wall street churn and earn pass the hot potato scam / fraud as in prior crashes.’ Being a ‘meat and potatoes’ kind of guy, I also feel that all will be served if the frauds on wall street et als are criminally prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed. Job growth slows in Washington region (Washington Post) Wow! Sounds like a plan … a great plan, even … so long as the slowing’s on capital hill / D.C. . And, that’s if you believe their fake numbers.

Probably an adaptive evolutionary relic that defies intellectual scrutiny, I’ve also found that those peoples who claim to be victimized the most are themselves the worst offenders despite their flaming rhetoric (there are numerous other and even better examples but the following are news current): a) UPDATE: MORE CLAIMS OF RACE BIAS AT JUSTICE...

The yardarm is the remedy Dozens of our friends and comrades, of wonderful compassionate activists are dead and wounded in the pirate attack in the high seas on humanitarian aid boats. This is a dreadful crime that will forever be remembered and should be punished. The Israeli pirates attacked the humanitarian aid Freedom Flotilla in the international waters over 150 km out of their territorial waters. The boats carried no arms; the participants strictly adhered to Ghandian mode by asking the Greek and Cyprus authorities to search the boats to avoid later claims that they were armed. A Plague Upon The World: The USA is a “Failed State” Dr. Paul Craig Roberts | The American people are lost in la-la land. They have no idea that their civil liberties have been forfeited.

An israeli military spokeswoman said soldiers opened fire on militants suspected of preparing to fire a rocket at them. In 1948, U.S. Secretary of Defense James Forrestal, an opponent of the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine, warned that, even though failure to go along with the Zionists might cost President Truman the states of New York, Pennsylvania, and California, it was about time that somebody should pay some consideration to whether we might not lose the United

States. Mr. Forrestal was absolutely correct! Isn’t that exactly what’s happened to defacto bankrupt america in intractable decline. TIME TO REVOKE AND NULLIFY THE BALFOUR DECLARATION AND ABROGATE THE CREATION OF THE NATION STATE OF ISRAEL IN THE INTERESTS OF FAIRNESS, JUSTICE, PEACE AND PROSPECTIVE PROSPERITY FOR THIS WORLD!

ISRAEL SEES THE LIGHT AND SIDES WITH IRAN ON NUCLEAR ISSUE; ESSENTIALLY SAYS TO THE WORLD AND IRAN ‘TO PRESS ON WITH NUCLEAR AMBITIONS’. Top Secret America: How the DOD does it (Washington Post) Does what? Come On! You can’t take this guy seriously. First, he’s military; what do you expect him to say. Second, he talks of wars as if they always have to have one or be searching for one and we all know they “find” them. Finally, he all but ignores what the underrated President General Eisenhower warned of in the form of the unscrupulous, insatiably greedy military/industrial complex which as colonel he but a very small cog in who goes along to get along. The fact is also that they can’t be managed and also that they don’t even try! Drudgereport: WASHPOST TAKES ON THE SPOOKS: Hidden world, growing beyond control... 854,000 people have top-secret security clearance... You really have to laud The Washington Post for this investigative brilliance which whether people appreciate it or not, requires great corporate and personal courage; even more so inasmuch as this is their backyard, so to speak. Clearly, this illuminates the boondoggles which amazingly are coming at a time when america will not be able to handle ‘bare necessities’ much less the self-perpetuating, needcreating, bureaucracies which I’ve previously likened to a perverse version of ‘Field of Dreams’ where if you will commit taxpayer dollars, they’ll find / create a war, conflict, new war, etc., to spend it on. The following youtube video is well worth the look and explains how and why the frauds on wall street have gotten away with their devastating fraud thus far.

Ron Paul: After ‘CIA coup,’ agency ‘runs military’ US House Rep. Ron Paul says the CIA has has in effect carried out a “coup” against the US government, and the intelligence agency needs to be “taken out.” I also personally believe there has been a defacto coup d’etat which has manifested in various substantial, blatant, brazened frauds, ie., wall street, missing 360 tons of $100 bills in Iraq, war profiteering, etc.,

without any fear of prosecution, and of course concomitant decline for u.s. as the treasury is looted. But I also believe its scope is beyond just the CIA with many complicit within the corrupted 3 branches of u.s. government (fed judges, us attorneys, illegal system, etc.) plus the military and private big money, ie., Goldman Sachs / wall street men, etc., among other organized crime. america is defacto bankrupt in every way! There must be such things as parallel universes (I don’t really believe that, because there isn’t) or how else do you explain the disconnect between reality, current and prospective, and the wet dreams posited to keep the war funding / corporate welfare programs alive in collectively what has already become a trillion dollar boondoggle (not counting prospective medical costs, etc.) and promises to go much higher. Even israel apologist Cohen of The Washington Post alludes to the Vietnam analogy. However, even if there were real goals beyond the poppy / heroin trade which the Taliban had all but eradicated (there isn’t); even if america wasn’t defacto bankrupt (america is); even if america wasn’t killing innocent civilians in large numbers (war criminal nation america is); even if america’s allies haven’t similarly helped to bankrupt themselves by way of this war (they have); even if I hadn’t told you so (I did) ….. this war still was, is, and remains a very bad idea!

It's time to expel israel from the UN Without doubt, the israeli attack on the Gaza-bound "Freedom Flotilla" in the dawn of Monday, May 31, 2010 is one of the most savage crimes in recent history. It seems the ruling power in Tel Aviv has been afflicted with a variant of mad cow disease; otherwise, how could it be so cruel to unleash such a beastly raid on the "Mavi Marmara," the Turkish flagship of a flotilla carrying medical and humanitarian supplies to the hapless people of Gaza Strip?

Our press government and military seem to take their orders from Israel. Isarel wants to be known as a pack of “mad dogs. Do we want “mad dogs” controlling us? Here we see a bunch of phony accusations against Iran just like we did in the run up to the bogus wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and now Pakistan. The boy has cried wold ten thousand times.

Glen Reply: June 11th, 2010 at 6:47 am Lunacy it would be. But it is also to their great credit that the Iranians have not made their own threats.

General McChrystal’s Burning Contempt for the Puppet Obama The farce that is the war in Afghanistan is coming apart at the seams.

The origination of the Gulfstream’s flight is unknown but it was destined for Cancun when it crash landed. Again, here is the important point: that same Gulf Stream II was one of the very same planes chartered to the CIA for the rendition of suspected terrorists prisoners. Gulf Stream II crashed in Mexico with 3 tons of cocaine on board ..it should not be surprising that this illegal practice of rendition has in some part, been used as a well-run smokescreen for another borderless illegal operation- an extremely

In some of us, they live on," Paabo … With regard to that extinction thing, I’d say they’re still working on it (ultimately, decades, extinction, the distinction, without a difference). Actually, prior to studying the compelling subject of Biological Anthropology (Michael Park text), I too had some misconceptions about the group known as Neandertals (recent spelling drops the ‘h’) and actually mis-referenced same by the stereotypical image of members of said clade even as the debate continues as to whether they are within the species homo sapiens or a separate species. I believe these to be distinctions without important differences, so humble the origins and evolution of man truly are.

Truth be told, however, I ‘m a big fan of Cal Worthington here in California based solely (and uniquely for me) on his television commercials in which the big cats figure prominently in actual footage of him with them, along with him riding bulls, killer whales, etc., and having very competitive advertised prices (He’s primarily Ford but sells them all).

Market Going Down With the Ship? Montgomery: ‘This morning the Baltic Dry Index, a measure of freight rates for international shipping, was at 1700. It hasn't been at this level since April 2009, only four months after its Credit Crisis low and only one month after the stock market was at its bottom. Bloomberg News noted a week ago that the index had dropped continuously for the longest period in nine years. Yes, the current drop in the preceding seven weeks (from a high of 4209 in late May) has been bigger than anything seen during the Credit Crisis. The last drop of this magnitude was in August 2001 in the middle of that year's recession. Lack of shipping activity from China, the engine for global economic activity, was cited as the main cause for the falling index. Charter rates for all types of ships tracked in the index are falling. Prices for dry bulk shipping, which doesn't include energy commodities, tend to be very sensitive to economic activity. A sharp drop in rates indicates a significant drop in global trade. Based on historical charts it looks like the Baltic Index can lead, be coincident or lag movements in economic data and the stock market. The index seems to be most closely correlated with prices of industrial commodities and the industrial sector of the global economy. While this is not the largest component of the U.S. economy (the service sector is four times larger), it is the key sector in developing economies. It was manufacturing though that had the biggest rebound in the U.S. since last year. The service sector has remained lackluster. The stock market will likely be following the Baltic Index down, although perhaps not with such a precipitous decline. The Index has dropped almost 60% since late May. With the exception of the small cap Russell 2000, none of the major stock indices have had even a 20% drop - at least not yet.

After Goldman, SEC eyes exotic financial products Video (Washington Post) SEC’s Khuzami Says ‘Goldman’s Suit Should Send Message’:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wpdyn/content/video/2010/07/16/VI2010071602828.html I disagree! Indeed, there have been and are a plethora of laws and ad hoc prosecutions; but, particularly for the ‘risk seeker’ criminally insane mentality on wall street, the same is far from a deterrent as seen from historical perspective / fact and might even perversely provide for them an incentive. The amount is relatively meager, but so long as this settlement is as supposedly indicated to former SEC head by Khuzami narrowly drawn and in no ways protective of goldman with regard to the yet unresolved massive frauds in the many trillions, the SEC should be given the benefit of the doubt. However, ‘turning its attention to exotic financial products that MIGHT be used to harm investors’ is troubling to say the least. Might? Who are they kidding. The ‘bad paper’ is still out there in the many trillions and in criminally complicit fashion now marked to anything. I further believe these products of fraud and consequent damage are being surreptitiously being, with corrupt fed help, supplanted with real, albeit fiat, currency ultimately to citizens / taxpayers / nations detriment. As things currently stand, particularly from the numbers, fraud by wall street does pay; and pays well! Khuzami, a 29-year-old former employee in Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s business intelligence unit, had better produce or appropriately find himself prosecuted for conflict, collusion, etc.. After all, he’s hardly one to be considered unbiased. The frauds on wall street et als must be criminally prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed. I truly believe that absent such prosecution, there will be revolution in this country. In other words, their ‘jig is up’ and they must go down for what they did / do.

Goldman to pay $550M to settle civil fraud charges (AP) Late stock rally ahead of Goldman settlement news And the beat goes on! Goldman Sachs beats the SEC– ‘Can Goldman Sachs Group Inc. wheel and deal or what? The bank and brokerage's settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday over the illfated Abacus deal may be its best trade ever. At $550 million, it's not terribly expensive. (GS 152.19, +6.97, +4.80%) hasn't agreed to restrict its practices in any meaningful way. And poof! The firm can go back to work with its biggest liability paid. Investors are ecstatic, Goldman shares rocketed 5.5% in after-hours trading. No wonder Goldman called it "the

right outcome for our firm shareholders and clients." See full story on the SEC settlement. For the regulators, the settlement is more than just anticlimactic. Having bet all of its chips on reversing embarrassing episodes such as the Bernie Madoff fiasco in an aggressive case against Wall Street, the SEC whiffed. Sure, the settlement is the biggest in the agency's history. Yes, the SEC was able to squeeze Goldman on the settlement language and admit it was a "mistake" not to have disclosed Paulson & Co.'s role in picking the ill-fated securities. But come on. Goldman's net income last year was $12.1 billion. It could be even higher this year, given the robust first quarter Goldman already has had. The settlement amounts to less than 5% of profits. Maybe Goldman Sachs will even be able to write it off …’

Concern over smashing into the 'wall of debt' (Washington Post) Oh, they’ve hit the wall alright; and, it’s not just debt. I believe the printing presses have been working overtime to pump out ever more worthless fiat currency and with the many trillions of worthless fraudulent paper still out there and marked to anything. I further believe the same is being surreptitiously used to supplant the fraudulent paper, the consequences of which will be devastating, of course, as is invariably so in depressions in any event. This scenario would also mean huge fraud accomplis. This market is paper on paper moving around and generating commissions at lightning computerized speed but adding no real value in real economic terms; again, the analogy of termites eating away at the (nation’s) foundation is apposite. As such, that money has to come from some real place and hence, the ever more frequent and larger crashes we are seeing. Don’t forget that the worthless paper from previous such fraudulent schemes now marked to anything is still out there in a magnitude some have placed in the hundreds of trillions. Biggest wall will be reality: ‘This is a global depression. This is a secular bear market in a global depression. The past up move was a manipulated bull (s***) cycle in a

secular bear market. This has been a typically manipulated bubble as has preceded the prior crashes with great regularity that the wall street frauds and insiders commission and sell into.’ Harry Dent, Jr. Economy will be in a Depression by 2011 The worst of this next depression is likely to hit between mid-2010 and mid2013, especially around early 2011, but if the banking system continues to implode a deep downturn or depression could begin sometime in 2009 instead of 2010. Dow will Fall to 3,800 – 4,500 by 2012 Nasdaq will Fall Below 1,100, its 2002 low, by late 2010 or mid-2012 at the latest.

Does anybody recall the merciless drubbing (and pressure) that Ross Perot got for predicting the ill effects of NAFTA and standing against the tide. In america today, the best men never win; that’s reality, and also the sign of decline. Exports are up, but where are the jobs? (Washington Post) Gone with the wind? Sorry, I must have been thinking of million dollar movies. Seriously though, I dare say everyone knows they were gone with that ‘bi-partisan executive / congressional, think-tank, cia / nsa ill wind’ that others might refer to as flatulence / passing gas, also called NAFTA, and also proudly hailed by the foregoing as ‘strategy’. They’re gone, and never to return. Moreover, the flipside of the exports, viz., imports, doesn’t bode well despite the fraudulent wall street b*** s*** and their chorus of cheerleaders in washington. Some might say self-delusion but I would say fraud covers all. Companies pile up cash but still won't add jobs (Washington Post) Unlike the public sector (which now exceeds private sector in job gains and average compensation), the private sector attempts to mesh hiring with economic supply / demand factors to maximize (shareholder) profits / wealth. Whatever faults american companies have, with relatively few exceptions, this still remains a very basic fundamental and building surplus (generating profits) is a necessary precept to ensure survival and the capacity to be a good ‘citizen’ so to speak.

(Just in: 7-16-10 Poll – only 43% of Americans approve of the Afganistan War, down from 52% in January, 2010) Pearlstein: Can regulation beget innovation? (Washington Post) I believe the more seminal question to be, whether american companies, consistent with overall american decline and corruption in so pervasive a fashion, are capable of or inclined toward real innovation where enhancements to productivity, as well as greater profits, is the consequence as desired. Certainly there has been ‘innovation’ by the wall street frauds in the types of (ultimately worthless / fraudulent) paper and high frequency trade programs enhancing their bottom-lines but little else; and, those cutting edge ‘weapons of mass destruction’ produced or financed (israel) by america are hardly productive in the economic sense but innovative and profitable in the short run, and unwise and nation-bankrupting in the longer run which we’re in right now!

Goldman agrees to pay $550M (Washington Post) My own skepticism based on the disparate numbers (the size of the frauds compared to the relatively small fine) and as set forth in the initial reactions / headlines that immediately follow has been allayed somewhat by an interview on NBR with former SEC head Ruder who explained the very narrow scope of the settlement which in no way shelters goldman from the huge frauds they have perpetrated. So long as this is true in fact as well as law and in application, the SEC deserves praise as has been so under the auspices of ‘Mother Mary’ who appears to have the gonads lacking in prior SEC heads.

This ridiculous war apparently for the sake of the american sponsored reinvigorated heroin trade was a bad idea ab initio even if america wasn’t defacto bankrupt. Concern over smashing into the 'wall of debt' (Washington Post) Oh, they’ve hit the wall alright; and, it’s not just debt. I believe the printing presses have been working overtime to pump out ever more worthless fiat currency and with the many trillions of worthless fraudulent paper still out there and marked to anything. I further believe the same is being surreptitiously used to supplant the fraudulent paper, the consequences of which will be devastating, of course, as is invariably so in depressions in any event. This scenario would also mean huge fraud accomplis. This market is paper on paper moving around and generating commissions at lightning computerized speed but adding no real value in real economic terms; again, the analogy of termites eating away at the (nation’s) foundation is apposite. As such, that money has to come from some real place and hence, the ever more frequent and larger crashes we are seeing. Don’t forget that the worthless paper from previous such fraudulent schemes now marked to anything is still out there in a magnitude some have placed in the hundreds of trillions. Biggest wall will be reality:

‘This is a global depression. This is a secular bear market in a global depression. The past up move was a manipulated bull (s***) cycle in a secular bear market. This has been a typically manipulated bubble as has preceded the prior crashes with great regularity that the wall street frauds and insiders commission and sell into.’ Harry Dent, Jr. Economy will be in a Depression by 2011 The worst of this next depression is likely to hit between mid-2010 and mid2013, especially around early 2011, but if the banking system continues to implode a deep downturn or depression could begin sometime in 2009 instead of 2010. Dow will Fall to 3,800 – 4,500 by 2012 Nasdaq will Fall Below 1,100, its 2002 low, by late 2010 or mid-2012 at the latest. Inflation will Increase until mid- 2010 and then turn to Deflation Interest Rates will Increase U.S. Dollar will Decline Housing will Decline by 40 – 60% from Today’s Levels Greatest Economic and Banking Crisis since the 1930s will Occur Between 2010 and 2012 Economists worry women, minority business owners' gains will be lost (Washington Post) Little bit late for ‘economists worry’; talk about senile greenspan / no-recession bernanke economics / prognosticating. Does anybody recall the merciless drubbing (and pressure) that Ross Perot got for predicting the ill effects of NAFTA and standing against the tide. In america today, the best men never win; that’s reality, and also the sign of decline. Exports are up, but where are the jobs? (Washington Post) Gone with the wind? Sorry, I must have been thinking of million dollar movies. Seriously though, I dare say everyone knows they were gone with that ‘bi-partisan executive / congressional, think-tank, cia / nsa ill wind’ that others might refer to as flatulence / passing gas, also called NAFTA, and also proudly hailed by the foregoing as ‘strategy’. They’re gone, and never to return. Moreover, the flipside of the exports, viz., imports, doesn’t bode well despite the fraudulent wall street b*** s*** and their chorus of cheerleaders in washington. Some might say self-delusion but I would say fraud covers all. Companies pile up cash but still won't add jobs (Washington Post) Unlike the public sector (which now exceeds private sector in job gains and average compensation), the private sector attempts to mesh hiring with economic supply / demand factors to maximize (shareholder) profits / wealth. Whatever faults american companies have, with relatively few exceptions, this still remains a very basic fundamental and building

surplus (generating profits) is a necessary precept to ensure survival and the capacity to be a good ‘citizen’ so to speak. Then there’s reality: Retail sales down for 2nd consecutive month (Washington Post) Another ‘Come on’ day on fraudulent wall street! This time it’s the unexpected downward revision to previous market-frothing retail sales report and poor retail sales and plunge in mortgage applications and then there’s the fed minutes pointing to extended bad economy. See Dave Fry’s (Daily) summary below referencing in euphemistic fashion, yet another ongoing manipulation also known as fraud. (Absent prosecutions, they’ll continue to do what comes natural to frauds on wall street). Great opportunity to sell / take profits since much worse, also called reality beyond the b*** s***, to come. Then there’s also the bad but typical news; viz., retail sales, mortgage apps, economic outlook down, and yesterday deficits, trade and budget, up. Mideast Digest: Wow! Belfast, Northern Ireland; and in the Mideast Digest Section, of all places. It’s been a long time. While I have had some difficulties with Irish mob in the context of litigation but only tangential to my primary RICO action vis-à-vis the Italian mob (and similarly tangentially the jewish mob and then primarily what I learned to be ‘governmental mob’, federal, state, local, derivative thereby and the sine quo non of corruption / bribery / synergy that spells decline for any nation), it is difficult to not be empathetic to the plight of an otherwise beautiful nation tainted only by the orange stain in that northern quarter. After all, what hasn’t england not mucked up from balfour to the mideast to now even their own nation having hitched a ride on the american / israeli crazy train. As a matter of disclosure, I must admit to an affinity for the Irish and somewhat fairly recently had been asked what I thought of Philadelphia to which without hesitation I immediately replied that Grace Kelly (truly magnificent by any standard) was born there. I could think of nothing else that could parallel such a distinction.

WHICH WAY IS THE MARKET GOING NEXT? Gomes: ‘Having been a technical analyst for the first 10 years of my investing career and a fundamental analyst for the past 15 years, I'm a believer that technical patterns form as fundamentals unfold. As such, if you know something about both, you can confirm both against each other. At this point in time, I see a market that is technically reaching up toward its 200 day moving average (2,250 for the NASDAQ). I also see a 50 day moving average that is threatening to drop below that 200 day moving average. Technically, that is usually a very bad sign for the market. … 1) Economic indicators are dropping fast. For all intents and purposes, the

unemployment rate has not budged. Meanwhile, store shelves are stocked again, PCs have been upgraded, etc. In other words, the pent-up demand that drove the current rebound has almost run its course. What little remains no longer has the power to drive the economy as it has over the past 18-months. 2) "Follow the money". This is one of the most powerfully simple rules on Wall Street. When money is flowing into the economy (i.e. via lower interest rates or stimulus $$$), it's usually good for stocks..and vice versa. At present, interest rates can't go much lower and the numerous stimulus programs are losing effectiveness. This means that the money is no longer flowing in. Worse yet, the money that was spent is not generally viewed as having been money well spent. This does not bode well for a new stimulus package to come anytime soon. In other words, money is not flowing in AND doesn't appear poised to flow in anytime soon. In fact, state and municipal budgets are being cut (money flowing OUT), while they raise local sales and income taxes (more money flowing out). if federal taxes go up in 2011, as planned, even more money will be flowing out. If you follow that, you should be flowing out of the stock market. In short, barring a new stimulus package of other major money-flowing event, I believe the economy slips back toward recession. Whether or not we double-dip, we will almost certainty slip in that direction. 3) If you follow the money in Europe, you will run for the hills. Europe has decided to spin 180-degrees and shift from stimulus to austerity (if you don't know the definition, look it up -- you'll likely hear it again -- and not just from me). Effectively the opposite of stimulus, austerity will pull money away from the European economies...which tells us to pull money away from stocks. Worse yet, the effect of the EU/IMF bailout is already wearing off. Greek yields are rising again and Portuguese credit ratings have been reduced. 4) Global bubbles are bursting. Most notably, home sales in China and Canada are starting to fall. Remember what happened when the U.S. housing market cracked? That's right -- that's what started this mess in the first place. 5) Politically, this period in time has a tendency to be bad for stocks. There is uncertainty around the mid-year elections...and the market hates uncertainty. Historically, the political picture doesn't become clear until October, at which point we might expect a rally. Until then, expect the democrats to do everything they can to retain their jobs in November. That means, "stop pissing off the public"...and the public seems pretty pissed about how the stimulus $$$ worked out for them (or more accurately, how it DIDN'T work out for them). Thus, the political pressure will lean against further stimulus until after the elections. The Bottom Line: I believe that the market will start to reflect these concerns very soon. These are real fundamental concerns, which you can see reflected in the technicals. As the market reaches the 50DMA and the 200DMA, it will be inclined to retreat (barring some new, hugely positive

news). Meanwhile, the 50DMA is 90%+ likely to cross below the 200DMA, giving the market more reason to retrench. At some point, if the economy sinks far enough and if the market drops far enough, political pressure for more stimulus will mount. At that point, money will flow back into the economy. But that time is not now. Now, money is flowing away like the tide...and so should your invested capital. I'm not always right, but I do my best, based on the information before me. Based on what I see right now, the most logical conclusion is to expect a long, ugly summer for stocks. If I see information that changes that view, I'll be sure to post an update to this post.

It has only happened nine times in 10 years. We are referring to crossovers between the 200-day and 50-day simple moving averages (SMAs).Very few technical indicators receive as much attention and media coverage as the 50 and 200-day SMAs. The 200day MA is perceived to be the dividing line between a stock that is technically healthy and one that is not. It's a Big Deal It's a big deal when a stock or an index drops below the 200-day SMA. It's an even bigger deal when the 50-day SMA of any given stock or index drops below the 200-day SMA. Such a crossover reflects internal weakness - at least in theory. We'll discuss in a moment how the actual numbers match up with theoretic assumptions. On June 22, 2010, the S&P 500 (SNP: ^GSPC) and Dow Jones (DJI: ^DJI) dropped below the 200-day SMA. One day later the Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC) followed. On July 2, 2010, the 50-day SMA for the S&P

(NYSEArca: SPY - News) dropped below the 200-day SMA. On July 6, the Dow Jones (NYSEArca: DIA - News) followed. As of today, the Nasdaq (Nasdaq: QQQQ - News) is barely hanging on. This sounds like a doomsday scenario. Does a rigid analysis show that there is validity to 200day and 50-day SMA crossover buy/sell signals? Let's investigate.Crossovers - Lagging but Notable Many argue that the SMA crossover is a delayed signal that emphasizes past weakness more than it foreshadows future declines. To an extent, that is true. There are other warning signals that point to a market turn long before the SMA does. For example, on April 16, 2010, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter noted an extremely low put/call ratio along with other bullish sentiment extremes. The newsletter stated that 'the message conveyed by the composite bullishness is unmistakably bearish. Once prices start to fall and investors get afraid of incurring losses, the only option is to sell (due to the low put/call ratio). Selling, results in more selling. This negative feedback loop usually results in rapidly falling prices.' Prices did fall rapidly. The 22 trading days following the April 26 high, erased eight months worth of gains. It took a 17% drop for the SMA crossover to trigger a sell signal. When the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter issued a strong buy signal on March 2, 2009, it emphasized that the developing rally would be a counter trend rally followed by a steep decline and maintained this viewpoint even though prices kept rallying relentlessly into the April highs. The SMA crossover now expresses the possibility that even lower prices are ahead. 200 and 50-day SMA Crossovers - How Accurate? How about the SMA crossover track record? Over the past 10 years, there have been nine S&P SMA crossovers with five sell and four buy signals. We have yet to see the results of the most recent sell signal. However, of the eight previous signals, six were correct. Average gains following each signal were 14.91%. $10,000 invested according to the buy/sell recommendations given right after the first sell signal was triggered on October 30, 2000 at S&P 1,399, would be worth $24,769 today. More Than just Crossovers If it sounds too good to be true, it often is. As is the case with so many technical indicators, crossovers need to be viewed in context with other indicators. In other words, take a step back and evaluate how crossovers fit into the larger picture. The larger picture (going back to 2007) reveals that trading volume associated with market declines has been generally high, while trading volume seen during rallies has been generally low; a bearish sign. Does Wednesday's 3.13% Rally Invalidate the Sell Signal? On Wednesday, the S&P rallied 32 points or 3.13%. The Dow rallied 2.82%, while the Nasdaq rallied 3.13%. Does this mean the bull market is back on track?Since the April market top, we've seen about a handful of 2-3% bounces. All associated gains were erased within a matter of days. Chances are this time will be the same. In fact, some sort of bounce was to be expected. On July 5, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter stated 'considering that the S&P is butting against the 100-week SMA, lower accelerations band, 38.2% Fibonacci retracement levels, round number resistance at 1,000, and

weekly s1 at 994, there is a good chance we will see some sort of a bounce develop from the 990 - 1,015 area. Weekly r1 at 1,066 and pivot at 1,063 should serve as resistance.' This bounce is in its later stages right now. What's Next? Let's revisit the larger picture. Out of the nine leading industry sectors, seven have seen their 50-day SMA cross below the 200day SMA - financials (NYSEArca: XLF - News), technology (NYSEArca: XLK - News), consumer staples (NYSEArca: XLP - News), materials (NYSEArca: XLB - News), utilities (NYSEArca: XLU - News), energy (NYSEArca: XLE News) and healthcare (NYSEArca: XLV - News). The consumer discretionary (NYSEArca: XLY - News) and industrial sector (NYSEArca: XLI - News) are the only holdouts. All nine sectors, however, trade below their 200-day SMA. Fundamentals, sentiment readings and valuations also point south. Some of the fundamentals we have discussed in these pages are crafty accounting practices designed to hide huge losses racked up by big financial institutions not yet realized along with a continually bad unemployment picture. Sentiment surrounding the April highs recorded extremes not seen since the 2000, 2007, and even 1987 market top. There are multiple sentiment measures (such as the VIX, cash allocation, put/call ratio, percentage of bullish/bearish advisors, mutual fund cash levels, etc.). Each sentiment measure is one piece of the puzzle. The more pieces of the puzzle you have, the clearer the picture becomes. Leading up to the April highs, nearly all sentiment indicators peaked, painting a complete bearish picture. In summary, the bearish picture is confirmed by technical indicators, a fundamental outlook, sentiment gauges, and valuations. Based on what the market considered fair market valuations at prior historic market bottoms, one can conclude how far stocks have to drop to reach the previously attained level of fair valuations. The ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter includes a detailed analysis of four valuation metrics with a track record of accuracy, along with the implied target range for an ultimate market bottom. This is provided in addition to its short, mid and long-term forecast. When the market speaks, it behooves investors to listen.

Commercial Real Estate Loans Extend and Pretend ‘…Courtesy of Thomson / Reuters Commercial Real Estate Loans – Extend and Pretend Community banks have commercial real estate loans where the borrower cannot make scheduled interest and principle payments. More than 50% of all FDIC-insured institutions have loan pipelines that are 80% to 100% funded. This is a measure of how banks are stuck with noncurrent assets, but they are not classified that way. Instead, community banks are giving borrowers more time to make their payments on the theory that it’s better

to collect zero on some loans rather than owning the real estate that collateralizes those loans. This concept is dubbed “extend and pretend” hoping that the borrower will eventual pay the loan back. Banks in this practice are known as “Zombie Banks” as they can’t lend, can’t lure in new investors, and wait for the FDIC to knock on their doors on Friday afternoon. This strategy includes stretching out loan maturities and allowing below-market interest rates to slow the number of defaults and preserving the capital of banks that would be expended if property had to become “Other Real Estate Owned.” As a result “Loans 30 to 89 Days in Arrears” and “Noncurrent” loans are not growing as fast as they should be. The net result of these practices masks the true toxicity of the Commercial Real Estate market. It’s not just the small banks that are employing “extend and pretend” tactics. I read that the Bank of America (BAC) has extended a large real estate loan in Buckhead, Georgia the high-class area north of Atlanta. The loan finances the development of a high-end shopping and residential project in 2007 and now three years later the cranes are silent and the project is fenced in. The banking regulators are helping the banks by allowing the lenders several ways to restructure loans. While doing so the banks are allowed to keep these loans as “performing” even with collateral values below the loan amounts. Extend and pretend is also known as kicking the can down the road. It seems to me that we have wasted billions if not trillions in stimulus money and bank bailouts when this money could have been used to actually fund the completion of these projects. Such a plan would have cost tax payers much less and would have kept Americans working on Main Street USA, as finishing incompleted real estate projects are clearly “shovel ready” projects. According to Foresight Analytics banks hold $176 billion of CRE loans that could be declared toxic. This is the tip of the iceberg as the FDIC Quarterly Banking Profile shows $1.09 trillion in nonfarm nonresidential real estate loans and $418 billion in Construction & Development loans on the books of our nation’s banks. About two-thirds of the CRE loans are maturing between now and 2014, and are underwater. Commercial real estate property values are down 42% from the October 2007 peak. At the end of the first quarter 9.1% are delinquent up from 7% a year earlier. Bankers justify “extend and pretend” saying that it’s better than calling the loan and dumping more property on a depressed market. We need a stronger economy to entice new investors to resurrect projects and to find new demand for competed offices, hotels, condos etc which are the finished products of completed CRE projects. Without a strong economic recovery these loans will eventually have to be written off down the road. The problem is that while these loans are on hold banks can’t justify new loans, which would be the engine of economic growth. And the beat goes on.

Inventory Cycle Has Run Its Course Harrison – ‘… This is the scenario I have been predicting for months now.






Double Dip Recession and the Obama 2011 Budget (February 2010): The long and short is that – come Summer – the inventory cycle’s thrust will have dissipated. And if companies are not hiring by this time and consumer spending is not increasing more robustly, then the state budgets, the strategic defaults and all of the rest of that becomes a serious obstacle. In my view, more likely than not, this will lead to another recession late in 2010 or in 2011. And nothing in the President’s budget changes this outlook. The mindset will not change; a depressionary relapse may be coming (March 2010): the inventory cycle’s impact on GDP growth will attenuate. By the second half of 2010, inventories will not add considerably to GDP. US GDP growth rate is unsustainable; recovery will fade (April 2010): The inventory cycle is already starting to fade. That means weak 1 or 2% growth at best by Q4 2010. Unless job growth picks up tremendously by the second half of the year, this recovery is in trouble.

Hopefully the collection of random facts below will help you to “connect the dots” just a little bit. On one level, the facts below may not seem related. However, what they all do have in common is that they show just how much the United States has fundamentally changed. Do you ever just sit back and wonder what in the world has happened to America? The truth is that the America that so many of us once loved so much has been shattered into a thousand pieces. The “land of the free and the home of the brave” has been transformed into a socialized Big Brother nanny state that is oozing with corruption and has accumulated the biggest mountain of debt in the history of the world.

Six Months to Go Until the Largest Tax Hikes in History... SIX MONTHS TO GO UNTIL THE LARGEST TAX HIKES IN HISTORY From Ryan Ellis on Thursday, July 1, 2010 4:15 PM Read more: http://www.atr.org/six-months-untilbr-largest-tax-hikesa5171##ixzz0sVN5aBH3 In just six months, the largest tax hikes in the history of America will take effect. They will hit families and small businesses in three great waves on January 1, 2011: First Wave: Expiration of 2001 and 2003 Tax Relief In 2001 and 2003, the GOP Congress enacted several tax cuts for investors, small business owners, and families. These will all expire on January 1, 2011: Personal income tax rates will rise. The top income tax rate will rise from 35 to 39.6 percent (this is also the rate at which two-thirds of small business profits are taxed). The lowest rate will rise from 10 to 15 percent. All the rates in between will also rise. Itemized deductions and personal exemptions will again phase out, which has the same mathematical effect as higher marginal tax rates. The full list of marginal rate hikes is below: - The 10% bracket rises to an expanded 15% - The 25% bracket rises to 28% - The 28% bracket rises to 31% - The 33% bracket rises to 36% - The 35% bracket rises to 39.6% Higher taxes on marriage and family. The “marriage penalty” (narrower tax brackets for married couples) will return from the first dollar of income. The child tax credit will be cut in half from $1000 to $500 per child. The standard deduction will no longer be doubled for married couples relative to the single level. The dependent care and adoption tax credits will be cut.

The return of the Death Tax. This year, there is no death tax. For those dying on or after January 1 2011, there is a 55 percent top death tax rate on estates over $1 million. A person leaving behind two homes and a retirement account could easily pass along a death tax bill to their loved ones. Higher tax rates on savers and investors. The capital gains tax will rise from 15 percent this year to 20 percent in 2011. The dividends tax will rise from 15 percent this year to 39.6 percent in 2011. These rates will rise another 3.8 percent in 2013. Second Wave: Obamacare There are over twenty new or higher taxes in Obamacare. Several will first go into effect on January 1, 2011. They include: The “Medicine Cabinet Tax” Thanks to Obamacare, Americans will no longer be able to use health savings account (HSA), flexible spending account (FSA), or health reimbursement (HRA) pre-tax dollars to purchase non-prescription, over-the-counter medicines (except insulin). The “Special Needs Kids Tax” This provision of Obamacare imposes a cap on flexible spending accounts (FSAs) of $2500 (Currently, there is no federal government limit). There is one group of FSA owners for whom this new cap will be particularly cruel and onerous: parents of special needs children. There are thousands of families with special needs children in the United States, and many of them use FSAs to pay for special needs education. Tuition rates at one leading school that teaches special needs children in Washington, D.C. (National Child Research Center) can easily exceed $14,000 per year. Under tax rules, FSA dollars can be used to pay for this type of special needs education. The HSA Withdrawal Tax Hike. This provision of Obamacare increases the additional tax on non-medical early withdrawals from an HSA from 10 to 20 percent, disadvantaging them relative to IRAs and other tax-advantaged accounts, which remain at 10 percent. Third Wave: The Alternative Minimum Tax and Employer Tax Hikes When Americans prepare to file their tax returns in January of 2011, they’ll be in for a nasty surprise—the AMT won’t be held harmless, and many tax relief provisions will have expired. The major items include: The AMT will ensnare over 28 million families, up from 4 million last year. According to the left-leaning Tax Policy Center, Congress’ failure to index

the AMT will lead to an explosion of AMT taxpaying families—rising from 4 million last year to 28.5 million. These families will have to calculate their tax burdens twice, and pay taxes at the higher level. The AMT was created in 1969 to ensnare a handful of taxpayers. Small business expensing will be slashed and 50% expensing will disappear. Small businesses can normally expense (rather than slowlydeduct, or “depreciate”) equipment purchases up to $250,000. This will be cut all the way down to $25,000. Larger businesses can expense half of their purchases of equipment. In January of 2011, all of it will have to be “depreciated.” Taxes will be raised on all types of businesses. There are literally scores of tax hikes on business that will take place. The biggest is the loss of the “research and experimentation tax credit,” but there are many, many others. Combining high marginal tax rates with the loss of this tax relief will cost jobs. Tax Benefits for Education and Teaching Reduced. The deduction for tuition and fees will not be available. Tax credits for education will be limited. Teachers will no longer be able to deduct classroom expenses. Coverdell Education Savings Accounts will be cut. Employer-provided educational assistance is curtailed. The student loan interest deduction will be disallowed for hundreds of thousands of families. Charitable Contributions from IRAs no longer allowed. Under current law, a retired person with an IRA can contribute up to $100,000 per year directly to a charity from their IRA. This contribution also counts toward an annual “required minimum distribution.” This ability will no longer be there.

Given the negative news, it is not surprising that investors are becoming more bearish on stocks. This chart from Bespoke is based on the weekly Investors Intelligence survey, which is getting close to levels from a year ago.

Double Dip on the Way There were many events contributing to yesterday’s sell-off, and the most likely culprits around the globe included more protests in Greece, continued to concerns about Europe at large, and a downward revision (due to a calculation error) of a leading economic indicator reading in China for the month of April. But when it comes down to it, our own economy has yet to stand on solid ground. While the recovery has continued to be shaky at best, recent economic readings may be pointing to a double dip recession. Yesterday’s batch of economic data seemed to be confirming that, as it brought a very dismal reading on consumer confidence. June’s number stood at 52.9, far below expectations of 62.5, and pointing to the consumers’ weariness about the job market, and economic recovery in general. To go further, the previous reading for May was revised downward, to 62.7 from 63.3. But the drop from May to June really sends the message home: we’re not out of the woods yet. Earlier in the week, we saw personal savings rates rise again, even while personal income growth was meager. Americans, despite bringing home a little more cash, continued to save more for the expected rainy days, and have yet to return to their spendthrift ways. After yesterday’s precipitous selling, one would expect to see a bit of a bounce in today’s trading session. That wasn’t the case, however, as more weak data continued to dampen economic hopes. Today’s culprit was the ADP private sector job report. The report stated that private payroll gains were muted in June, with only 13,000 jobs added – far less than the 60,000 expected by economists. While May’s reading was revised slightly upwards (to 57,000 hires from previously reported 55,000), today’s release does not bode well for the much anticipated report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics due out on Friday. The non-farms payroll survey includes government workers and has been inflated in recent months due to hiring for the 2010 Census … [chart] …The June report, however, will reflect many of those workers being laid off in the past month. In May, 431,000 jobs were added, but without support from temporary government hires, economists are predicting job losses in June. Last week, consensus estimates were for a loss of 70,000 jobs for the month. By yesterday, those estimates were downgraded further, to 110,000. With the help of today’s ADP report, expectations have continued to fall: economists now expect a reading of negative 125,000 …

Barron's: Why the Market Will Keep Sliding Perry D- Barron's has a nice summary of what the future may hold in its "Up and Down Wall Street." It summarizes as well as anything I've read recently where we're likely headed. Bugging the (stock) market is the increasingly obvious disparity between what the Street's incorrigible cheerleaders see and prophesy and what's actually happening in the real world...The double dip in housing may or may not be a template of what's in store for the economy as a whole. But

at the very least, it is a precursor of other serious disappointments destined to feed the unease among the jittery populace, which most emphatically includes investors. It cites the predictions of SDK Captial's Dee Kessler: --the massive fiscal and monetary stimulus so liberally applied in 2008-2009 is starting to run out of steam, with financial conditions tightening and leading economic indicators pointing to a stretch of "anemic activity." --"structural headwinds," such as public and private deleveraging, higher taxes, greater regulation and trade tensions. --the well-publicized woes of the European bloc, which accounts for 20% of the world's GDP, as further evidence that the global economy, as he puts it, is downshifting. --The period of easy comparisons in corporate results, he says, is coming to a close, --"Although the fundamentals in the U.S., Europe and Japan are worse," Dee spots plenty of downside in emerging markets and doesn't fancy the notion of decoupling. --Come another financial crisis, "the only policy response left will be to print money." Which, of course, is what the gold bugs are counting on and why bullion has glistened so brightly. That about sums up the outlook. The nice insight here is that anxiety over future economic malaise -- and the additional money printing that'll be done to mask it -- might be a bigger factor than current inflationary pressure behind the surge in gold prices. In other words, for the deflation-believers: deflation today? Perhaps. But big-time inflation tomorrow.

down to 2009 lows. Officially, of course, everything's peachy with the economy. Europe is fixed, China is booming, consumer confidence is rising, and we are encouraged to resume our borrow and spend ways as the economy will not "double-dip" into recession. The economy will not slide into another recession, we are reassured constantly, even though roughly 80% of Americans don't think we ever left the recessionary quicksand.

The low-hanging fruit of pushing the workforce to produce more output for the same salary/wages have all been picked. 3. The inventory build-out is done for everything but the iPhone 4 and iPad. 4. So-called "fiscal austerity" (when did living within one's means become some sort of brutual "austerity"? Talk abour propaganda!) in the eurozone and U.S. states will remove tens of billions of dollars from corporate sales. 5. Global overcapacity is alive and well. There is overcapacity in everything manufactured except the iPhone 4, and that will be in glut by 2011 as well. 6. Uncle Sam is not distributing trillions of dollars quite as freely. There seems to be some glimmer of awareness that there could be consequences of squandering trillions of borrowed dollars on essentially worthless projects such as occupying Iraq, inflating the housing market by socializing the entire mortgage market, propping up Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and FHA, etc. 7. Housing is rolling over now that the socialized mortgage market has been tentatively allowed to go off life-support (it is wheezing and turning blue in the face, not signs of vibrant health). 8. There is no pricing power anywhere once stimulus-goosed demand declines to organic demand (flat to down) … Inflation, Deflation or Hyperinflation?

Here’s how a source on the ground describes the situation. Target Tehran? Israel, US ‘prepare to attack Iran’

Reports are circulating that the U.S is amassing a greater military presence in the Middle East. The alleged build up is also rumoured to involve the Israeli use of Saudi Arabian air space. It’s thought by some to be in preparation for an attack on Iran. Kucinich: ‘We are losing our nation to lies about the necessity of war’ In Afghanistan, corruption is rife.

If you tried to buy support in your favorite names this week, you got your hands cut up. I’ll continue to rely on the understanding of my own emotions as they have served me well. When we opened higher on Monday morning I knew I was in the right place, cash, as the market was just way overbought. If you bought most relative strength names last week, by the end of this week you were well underwater. So where do we go from here? I’ve got no clue, the market is a mess, the charts are a mess, and the long bond is about to break out. If that happens all bets are off, we could see an “event”. If the smart money is lining up at the exits and moving into bonds, there’s a good chance they see something coming down the pipe … SUITING UP FOR A POST-DOLLAR WORLD John Browne ‘The global financial crisis is playing out like a slow-moving, highly predicable stage play. In the current scene, Western governments are caught between the demands of entitled welfare beneficiaries and the anxiety of bondholders who fear they will be stuck with the bill. As the crisis reaches an apex, prime ministers and presidents are forced into a Sophie's choice between social unrest and bankruptcy. But with the "Club Med" economies set to fall like dominoes, the US Treasury market is not yet acting the role we would have anticipated. … The newspapers are now riddled with hints that foreign governments have lost faith in Washington and the dollar reserve system. It seems to me only natural that after a century of war, inflation,

and socialism, the next hundred years would belong to those people who hold the timeless values of hard money and fiscal prudence. Unfortunately, our policymakers are not those people.’ China's Hu Jintao Says Group of 20 Must Coordinate to Consolidate Recovery Bloomberg … How about the G195 countries in the world collectively be considered in this task of coordination owing to the abject failure of the so-called G20 which have in lockstep coordination precipitated this global crisis including the war mongering, war criminal acts of the so-called nato allies et als, particularly the u.s., and as well the likes of war criminal nation israel which have never avoided a contraindicated, anti-recovery war / conflict they could contrive / rationalize.

Evans-Pritchard Announces Fed Contemplating $5 Trillion QE Expansion In his latest column, the Daily Telegraph’s A.

History Tells US The Euro Will Not Survive, Greece Will Get Worse, And There Will Be A Trade Shock With the PBoC’s currency announcement last Saturday and the surge (!) in the value of RMB on Monday (all very kindly timed to add zest to my meetings this week in Boston, New York, and Washington), you would assume that today’s entry would be all about the RMB and the effect of the PBoC announcement.

Cybersecurity Measures Will Mandate Government “ID Tokens” To Use The Internet The move to shut down and regulate the Internet, the only

source of uncensored news and truth, under a new governmentcontrolled system has accelerated into high gear with the announcement that the government’s cybersecurity strategy revolves around issuing Internet users with ID “tokens” without which they will not be able to visit websites, the latest salvo against web freedom which, in combination with Senator Joe Lieberman’s ‘kill switch’ bill, will serve to eviscerate the free Internet as we know it.

Earlier this year, Russell warned that the stock market was once again becoming grossly overvalued despite its relentless new highs. Pragmatic Capitalism June 24, 2010 Richard Russell has grown very vocally bearish in recent months. Earlier this year, Russell warned that the stock market was once again becoming grossly overvalued despite its relentless new highs. He has maintained that the bear market never ended and that the world is far too indebted to exit the bear market. He also believes the bear will not end until all fiat currencies have failed. Although I disagree with him on many aspects of the micro I agree with his larger macro outlook. This bear market is not over. The secular bear market lives on. Mr. Russell thinks we might be on the verge of a terrible collapse: “We’re now in the process of building one of the largest tops in stock market history. The result, I think, will be the most disastrous

bear market since the ‘30s, and maybe worse. Question: “What could possibly be behind such a bear market?” you ask. “The stock market is stirring up optimism on a weekly, if not daily basis, by not falling apart.” Answer: This is the “rest” or “dead zone” I was talking about. Bear markets don’t conclude in a day, a week or a month. Months will go by, often adding to the bulls’ optimism.I think the key element behind this great bear market will be the complete destruction of all fiat currencies. This has been a long time coming. Fiat currencies are “wealth” created by man. They are created without sacrifice, without labor, without risk, and without sweat. Basically they are an immoral device, created by secretive bankers. If you watch the figures carefully, you’ll note the subtle deterioration. For instance, the advance-decline ratio, although up slightly for the week, had a relatively weak performance with the Dow up several hundred points over the course of the week. And we broke the trendline in May (see the chart below showing the cumulative advance-decline line for NYSE Common Stock only, which is what we publish in our figures (courtesy of DecisionPoint — www.decisionpoint.com). The vertical lines are Jan 2008, Jan 2009 and Jan 2010 as you move to the right on the chart. [CHART] My old friend, Bob Prechter, is talking about Dow 400. I used to think this was an absurd joke. I no longer think it’s a joke. The ultimate result will be a primary bear market shocking in duration and extent. …’ Reports: IAF Landed at Saudi Base, US Troops near Iran Border Arutz Sheva | The Israeli Air Force recently unloaded military equipment at a Saudi Arabia base, a semi-official Iranian news agency claimed Wednesday. It’s time for the world to take a close look at the despotic, totalitarian regime that presently exists for the grandeur and wealth of a few while hiding behind Islam as they betray same and Muslims everywhere.

Market Outlook: Bearish Background to Bullish Storyline Sean Hannon: ‘The last two weekly market commentaries have discussed how the underlying trend of the market is now bearish and all rallies should be used to sell stocks and reduce risks. With nearly every news outlet spouting the bullish storyline, these articles served as an outline of a disciplined investment strategy. Those who followed the outline have done well as the Dow Jones Industrial Average (Dow), S&P 500, and NASDAQ each declined over 5% since my initial warning. With the Dow still stuck below the psychologically important 10,000 level and all three major U.S. markets trading beneath their 200-day moving averages (MA), the bearish backdrop is clear. Even if many are still looking for a rally, we should understand that the primary trend is lower.

Why To Question the 2010 Stock Market Rally [Why To Question the 2010 Stock Market Rally – Web Site Archived with Charts Click Here - In the past year, we've written a lot about the similarity between the rally of early 1930 and the one we had through April of this year. The early 1930 rally came after the market had fallen nearly 50% in the fall of 1929. The spring 1930 rally took the market up nearly 50% again, to a level that was only about 20% below the previous peak. That rally, of course, was also the biggest sucker's rally in history. After the market peaked in April 1930, it crashed again, eventually ending up down 89% from the 1929 high and more than 80% from the 1930 high. The market did not reach the 1930 high again for another quarter of a century. The rally that recently ended in April 2010 came after a crash that was actually slightly more severe than the 1929 crash (53% versus 48%). It took the market up nearly 80% from the low!

european central banks intervened to shore up the ever more worthless euro, buying into that fraudulent wall street b*** s*** story that that ‘s a good thing, rallying stocks off their lows. It is amazing how dumb europe has become so quickly. An exception is what I believe was Germany’s steps against derivatives, which market according to a derivatives trader on the radio this day is a $40 trillion market (missed his name). To reiterate as applicable to yet another fraudulent scheme previously stated, said market is paper on paper moving around and generating commissions at lightning computerized speed but adding no real value in real economic terms; again, the analogy of termites eating away at the (nation’s) foundation is apposite.

POST MORTEM AND REVIEW Ricky: A post mortem is in order. The elements of this worldwide con game are remarkably simple, not complex at all. Apparently you only need a few things to make a mockery of the entire global economic system, and big banks garnered these few important things through “regulatory capture”: 1) Unregulated, unenforced rules (particularly for derivatives) 2) license to “mark to model” (assign your own values to your assets) 3) ability to peg present value to irrational expected future returns (based on unlimited, exponential growth) 4) infinite leverage (no effective requirements for reserve capital in unregulated “shadow” markets) 5) massive size, so that the bank is "too big to fail" 6) non-transparency and non-accountability. SELL IN MAY AND GO AWAY! THE FORECASTS: Harry Dent, Jr. Economy will be in a Depression by 2011 The worst of this next depression is likely to hit between mid-2010 and mid2013, especially around early 2011, but if the banking system continues to implode a deep downturn or depression could begin sometime in 2009 instead of 2010. Dow will Fall to 3,800 – 4,500 by 2012 Nasdaq will Fall Below 1,100, its 2002 low, by late 2010 or mid-2012 at the latest. Inflation will Increase until mid- 2010 and then turn to Deflation Interest Rates will Increase U.S. Dollar will Decline Housing will Decline by 40 – 60% from Today’s Levels Greatest Economic and Banking Crisis since the 1930s will Occur Between 2010 and 2012 Russell Napier is the author of the book “Anatomy of the Bear”, a professor

at the Edinburgh Business School and a consultant to CLSA Ltd. which is one of the top research houses in Asia. Napier’s research indicates (and I paraphrase) that: The S&P 500 will Decline to 400 by 2014 (the Dow 30 to 3800) The S&P 500 will then undergo a major crash that will see U.S. equity prices bottom at almost 50% below current levels (i.e. to 400 or less; the Dow 30 to 3800 or less) sometime around 2014 as Tobin’s “q” drops to 0.3 signaling the end of the bear market, as it has done at the end of the four largest U.S. market declines in 1921, 1932, 1949 and 1982. U.S. Treasury Sales Collapse Leading to End of U.S. Dollar as Reserve Currency Robert R.

This time it’s the unexpected jump in continuing claims for unemployment, yesterday the downward revision to previous market-frothing retail sales report and poor retail sales and plunge in mortgage applications and then there’s the fed minutes pointing to extended bad economy. Then there’s also now the ‘goldfinger factor’ as in goldman’s middle finger. When you defraud for many billions, paying $550 million is chump change. Goldman shares rocketed 5.5% in after-hours trading. No wonder Goldman called it "the right outcome for our firm shareholders and clients." (Absent prosecutions, they’ll continue to do what comes natural to frauds on wall street). Great opportunity to sell / take profits since much worse, also called reality beyond the b*** s***, to come. Then there’s also the bad but typical news; viz., previous retail sales, mortgage apps, economic outlook down, and continuing claims for unemployment, deficits, trade / budget, up. (Just in: 7-16-10 Poll – only 43% of Americans approve of the Afganistan War, down from 52% in January, 2010) Pearlstein: Can regulation beget innovation? (Washington Post) I believe the more seminal question to be, whether american companies, consistent with overall american decline and corruption in so pervasive a fashion, are capable of or inclined toward real innovation where enhancements to productivity, as well as greater profits, is the consequence as desired.

Certainly there has been ‘innovation’ by the wall street frauds in the types of (ultimately worthless / fraudulent) paper and high frequency trade programs enhancing their bottom-lines but little else; and, those cutting edge ‘weapons of mass destruction’ produced or financed (israel) by america are hardly productive in the economic sense but innovative and profitable in the short run, and unwise and nation-bankrupting in the longer run which we’re in right now!

Grace Kelly: Eternal fashion icon (Washington Post) To reiterate, I seldom comment on entertainment matters; but, I also would not pass up the opportunity to pay homage to such a ‘magnificent and exotic creature (in the most positive sense the term is used)’ as Grace Kelly, the Eternal Princess. I previously referenced her in the post which follows and includes the context of the post. One might say, London Exhibit? What? Yet, Alfred Hitchcock’s good taste and keen eye for splendor and beauty was not lost on Grace Kelly about whom he publicly raved (he also admitted his love for Cary Grant, but not that way. No, Alfred Hitchcock was not a homo). Mideast Digest: Wow! Belfast, Northern Ireland; and in the Mideast Digest Section, of all places. It’s been a long time. While I have had some difficulties with Irish mob in the context of litigation but only tangential to my primary RICO action vis-à-vis the Italian mob (and similarly tangentially the jewish mob and then primarily what I learned to be ‘governmental mob’, federal, state, local, derivative thereby and the sine quo non of corruption / bribery / synergy that spells decline for any nation), it is difficult to not be empathetic to the plight of an otherwise beautiful nation tainted only by the orange stain in that northern quarter. After all, what hasn’t england not mucked up from balfour to the mideast to now even their own nation having hitched a ride on the american / israeli crazy train. As a matter of disclosure, I must admit to an affinity for the Irish and somewhat fairly recently had been asked what I thought of Philadelphia to which without hesitation I immediately replied that Grace Kelly (truly magnificent by any standard) was born there. I could think of nothing else that could parallel such a distinction.

But I also believe its scope is beyond just the CIA with many complicit within the corrupted 3 branches of u.s. government (fed judges, us attorneys, illegal system, etc.) plus the military and private big money, ie., Goldman Sachs / wall street men, etc., among other organized crime. america is defacto bankrupt in every way!

Genome hints humans, Neanderthals rolled in prehistoric hay You're a Neanderthal: Genes say yes — a little bit (AP) Neanderthals and people interbred, fossil analysis finds For more info

on man’s humble beginnings, see here http://www.albertpeia.com/anthroindex1.htm Previously I wrote: FOUND: MISSING LINK BETWEEN APES AND MAN.... These stories, and the many like it, are old news and I subscribe to the more studied view that there is no “missing link” per se and in my view they are distinctions without significant differences. I previously wrote: To Learn More About From Whence Man Came, This Link's For You [To the Professor at the beginning of the course] 10-5-09 Postscript: Professor *****, I felt compelled to thank you again for the add; not to curry your favor but indeed to express profound thanks inasmuch as this is probably the last formal course at a formal educational institution I'll ever take; and among the most important. While I had bought at discount a library-discarded 1993 Anthropology by Embers text, though meaning to read same never quite got to it. I am astounded by the substantial amount of time involved in the evolutionary process, not that I ever stopped to think about it, and one must come away with the sense of 'and all that...for this?'. This course should be required curriculum along with psychology, sociology, etc., but probably won't be owing to what is, as it should be, a very humbling educational experience for any member of the human race. Regards, Al Peia [Interestingly, my intuitive (but unstudied) thoughts prior to closer examination of the compelling subject of Biological Anthropology remain what I believe to be the correct scenario. Specifically, very simply stated, for the most part, the more “enlightened” (but not by much; by mutation, accident, luck, intervention, etc.) left the unvarying confines of their Sub-Saharan origins, experienced diverse new environs, challenges, etc., experienced what has been described (by neuroscientists, psychologists, etc.) as neurogenesis in varying degrees and forms thereby over time, which trait was selected for and is consistent with the purported multi-regional evolutionary model which does not overtly contradict ultimately, initial African origins. Races, sub-species, missing links, etc., are subsumed in this very humbling and sorrowful tale of the “dawn of man”.] [Abolish the corrupt, costly, economically wasteful lifetime

Sen. Levin urges State Department to put Afghan Taliban on list of terror groups (Washington Post) Oooooh! … Sounds like a plan … and emanating from washington (and a thriving Michigan jew no less) … who says they don’t do anything? … And, consistent with that apocalyptic vision set forth in the Bible [albeit a book of truth from a very limited perspective (for which literal interpretations are misleading); after all, the Wise Men thought it was a movable star that was guiding them and shone the bright ‘spotlight’ upon the manger with the Christ]; the jews and some other entity against the rest of the world for that final Armageddon … oh, they’ll make that happen … it gets them through their day with every step closer to apocalypse but not to the place called heaven will they go. The end of this world? You might say america / israel / and theirs are feverishly working on just that, one way or another!

Roman Polanski freed after Swiss reject U.S. extradition request (Washington Post, July 13, 2010) Without diminishing in any way the seriousness of the crime, this result is the direct consequence of the growing global recognition of the pervasiveness of corruption in american courts, state and federal, and america generally; so much so, that said corrupt american courts cannot be relied on anywhere, anytime. Indeed, my own sampling, though hardly random to be candid, is 5 for 5 (new jersey, new york, connecticut, virginia, california) pervasively and egregiously corrupt to the point where these costly, corrupt bureaucracies should be abolished and supplanted with alternatives as I’ve previously set forth in prior comments.
