INSIDER TRANSACTIONS - They’re selling … here’s why: Return of the No-

Volume Melt-Up ‘Well, the markets have managed to regain some


semblance of their previous lunacy, going virtually parabolic on next to no
volume. Indeed, if you ignored the “year” data, you’d think you were
looking at 2009’s market all over again what with the gaps up, late day
CLEAR ramp jobs, and overnight manipulations: [chart] We’ve also seen
the return of another 2009 hallmark: the no volume melt-up. Indeed, volume
has been in a decline since early May. However, the volume last week was
particularly pathetic as stocks entered Looney Tune-ville again. [chart] …
With that in mind, this rally, unless it turns into something more, should be
seen as a gift from the market gods to shift to cash and prepare to
establish another round of shorts. On that note, back in March I urged
subscribers to shift largely to cash. Since that time we’ve been riding the
market down via a series of carefully played shorts, collecting gains of 7%,
9%, 10%, 14%, 16%, even 19% at a time when the market has lost 12%.
Indeed, all told, we’ve had 27 winning trades in the last two months. Over
the same time period, we’ve only had eight losers. The largest was -9%.
The others were in the low single digits (-2%, -3%, -5%, etc). As I write this,
we’re preparing our next round of shorts for when the market rolls over. So
far the market collapse has established a very clear pattern of lower lows.
And my target for the next low will be sub-1000 on the S&P 500 [chart]
During its last plunge, the S&P 500 fell to 1,020. It actually touched 1,004 on
the overnight futures session. So it’s an almost certainty that when this
rally ends and the next leg down begins, we’re going below 1,000.

Employment Picture Is Getting Bleaker ‘In "Not Very Bright," I noted that
equity investors are pretty clueless when it comes to assessing and
comprehending the bigger picture. Given that, maybe they took the news
detailed in the following Calculated Risk post, "Small Businesses Still
Reluctant to Hire," as a sign that small businesses are interested in
acquiring stocks, not employees? Otherwise, it's hard to see any other
reason for Friday's rally than manipulation or pure, unadulterated stupidity.
From Sharon Bernstein at the LA Times: Jobs outlook for small businesses
may be getting bleaker Intuit Inc., which provides payroll services for small
employers, says the nation's tiniest companies had fewer new hires last
month than any time since October... To calculate its estimate of national
hiring, Intuit uses payroll information from its 56,000 small-business
customers. The company defines small businesses as those with fewer
than 20 employees. Intuit's data show that small businesses hired just
18,000 additional workers last month. That's still positive territory, but it's
less than a third of the 60,000 that were added in February, when it seemed
that an employment recovery was imminent. Additional hiring dropped
steadily during the spring, to 40,000 in April and 32,000 in May. Another
payroll company, Automatic Data Processing Inc., painted an even
gloomier picture, saying that small businesses lost 1,000 jobs nationwide
in June. According to surveys by the National Federation of Independent
Business (NFIB), the problem isn't lack of financing or government
regulation - the problem is a "shortage of customers". NFIB chief
economist Bill Dunkelberg recently said: “What small businesses need are
customers, giving them a reason to hire and make capital expenditures and
borrow to support those activities.” Of course, regardless of how ignorant
the bulls are about the world around them, it seems pretty clear that the
concerns of small businesses aren't only relevant to that segment of the
economy. If the following chart is any guide, I don't expect we'll be seeing a
recovery in the overall employment market anytime soon: [chart] .’

Even if that were true (I don’t believe anything they say), who cares what
the criminally insane frauds on wall street say what they expect. It’s
fundamentals, economic and financial, that ultimately count,; but , in the
meantime, they’re like termites eating away at the nations foundation with

commission churn / earn revenues are a net negative for the economy in

Simon Maierhofer, On Friday July 9, 2010, 4:32 pm EDT It rarely ever


happens, but when it does, it's serious. 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 200-
day 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 200-
day 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 200-
day 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. Fighting the tape has often proven to be foolish, as the market will
always have the final word.’

A Market Forecast That Says ‘Take Cover’ New York Times | We have
entered a market decline of staggering proportions — perhaps the biggest
of the last 300 years.

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. Disclosure: No

Should You Bear Market Proof Your Portfolio? Simon Maierhofer, July 7,
2010: The area was known to be an idyllic sanctuary. Snowcapped
mountains, crystal clear lakes, warm summers, a gentle autumn ... you get
the picture. For nearly 180 years, Mount St. Helens remained silent,
towering over the beautiful scenery below. However, there were early
warning signs pointing towards a potentially catastrophic eruption of the
volcano. Most viewed them as nothing more than hot air (no pun intended).
Doug, a farmer who lived close to the foot of the mountain refused to
evacuate. 'My mountain wouldn't do that to me' he said. Less than 24 hours
later, Doug and his farm were buried beneath 70 feet of mud and volcanic
debris.

What's the moral of this story?


1) Even subtle signs can foreshadow a significant event
2) Just because an event doesn't occur regularly doesn't mean it can't
happen.
What does the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens have to do with the stock
market? More than you'd think.

Subtle Signs - Significant Results


Do you remember how stocks (NYSEArca: VTI - News) slowly but steadily
inched towards their April 26 highs? For nearly two months (from 2-26-10
to 4-15-10) the S&P (SNP: ^GSPC) moved up without more than a 0.5%
down day. The picture for the Dow (DJI: ^DJI) and Nasdaq (Nasdaq:
^IXIC) looked similar. Beneath the surface of rising prices, however, trouble
was brewing. On Wednesday, April 14, the CBOE Equity Put/Call Ratio
dropped to 0.32, the lowest reading in nearly two years and was 45% below
its six-month average. On April 16, the ETF Profit Strategy
Newsletter picked up the subtle put/call ratio warning signal and published
this cautionary note: '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.' 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), Short Dow30 ProShares (NYSEArca: DOG - News) UltraShort S&P
500 ProShares (NYSEArca: SDS - News), UltraShort Financial ProShares
(NYSEArca: SKF - 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: FEZ - 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.
The Newsletter also includes a target range for the ultimate market bottom
and the one chart that highlights the short-term bearish potential. Will you
head the warnings signs, or like farmer Doug trust that the market won't fall
on you?

It's always the economy, stupid (Washington Post, July 11, 2010)

That it is! I totally agree! It’s always the economy, and always will be the
economy, stupids.

Finance reform bill still a tossup Washington Post - As vote nears, Senate
Democrats don't yet have votes to overcome a threatened GOP
filibuster. This is really quite amazing and drives home the believably
rational single-digit approval rate for congress. If this is the best they
can do, and those opposing are not holding out for more stringent
provisions, but rather more lax rules, said obstructors should be
‘pilloried’ so all can see. I personally believe the best policy for
deterrence is vigorous and sure prosecution, fines, jail, and
disgorgement to really make a difference prospectively: Cases
against Wall Street lag despite Holder’s vows to target financial fraud

SEC seeking to increase investor knowledge Washington Post – Certainly


any policy that enhances investor knowledge, increases transparency,
and facilitates shareholder derivative actions for the plethora of
breaches of fiduciary duty owed to the companies they serve (instead
of vice versa) is positive. More importantly, the disconnect between
compensation and performance in u.s. companies is so glaring and
egregious relative to their foreign competitors makes this a
somewhat roundabout approach to these innumerable problems, not
the least of which includes the fraudulent, churn-and-earn scenarios
on wall street. However, letting them get away with their fraudulent
gains at many others’ expense is but an invitation to these criminally
insane frauds to do what comes natural to them; viz., fraud. The best
policy is vigorous prosecution, fines, jail, and disgorgement to really
make a difference prospectively: Cases against Wall Street lag

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. Disclosure: No positions’

Light Volume Temptations: Dave's Daily ‘Volume still matters, doesn't it? It
seems not as the financial media ignores our light volume market in favor
of writing bullish headlines. With hedge funds mostly sidelined according
to reports posted here yesterday, the primary buyers must be trading
desks on Wall Street and a handful of algo traders. It's tempting to come off
the sidelines and join the fun but perhaps it's just the trap they're laying for
you. A headline at Reuters read this afternoon: "Weaker Economic Views
Equals Stronger 3-Year Note Sale". So, if equity markets are forward-
looking one must wonder what these few buyers are seeing beyond a
short-term trade. Headline writers say its strong earnings growth that will
prop markets coupled with rosy outlooks. That would have to be the case
otherwise this is just a sucker's rally. As stated, volume was holiday-like
light (40% below average) making it really easy for the machines to take

Academics, Politicians: Pending Global Treaty Threatens Free Internet,
Fundamental Rights Steve Watson | ACTA: Flagship of the growing
internet censorship armada. Two Stories that Should Scare the
Heck Out of You Greg Hunter | I was sitting here trying to find a way
to wrap up the week and then, like a bolt of lightning, an idea hit
me.Gold expert Jim Sinclair sent me this story: “Federal Budget Deficit
Hits $1 Trillion For 1st 9 Months Of FY’10.” The story said, “The shortfall,
reflecting $2.6 trillion in outlays for the first three quarters and $1.6 trillion in
receipts, narrowed slightly compared with the same point in fiscal 2009.” So
where did the “shortfall” come from? Try the more that 8 million who
lost their jobs. The story went on to say, “. . . individual income and
payroll tax receipts were down 4% over the nine-month period, suggesting
that wages and salaries have not improved to the extent that corporate
profits have.” Corporate profits have “improved” because they laid-off all
those workers!! (Click here for the entire Dow Jones Newswires story)
Sinclair says, “Nothing has changed. Nothing has been rescued. The can
that is being kicked daily down the path is going to turn around and bite the
kickers. Gold is the only insurance.” When things get bad enough, there
will be more stimulus cash put into the economy and more bank
bailouts. Sinclair is like legendary football quarterback Joe Montana–
never bet against either of them. Academics, Politicians: Pending

keywords “Internet censorship” into Google News and you will

assault from attempts by governments globally to regulate and stifle

Pakistan to Egypt, from Afghanistan to Iran, huge chunks of the
Internet are going dark as the Chinese model of Internet regulation is
adopted worldwide. [Has everybody lost their minds? Referring to the
china model as something to be emulated. It’s true they are more
productive than america, generally, but their business model is almost
prehistoric and the direct consequence of the great american sell-out
for money (the ‘pass through’ or direct) by those who’ve pledged
otherwise (walmart, congress, clinton, bush, wobama, etc.). Even
some of their simplest products are junk (but priced incredibly low to
make the relative value) and seem to have adopted that GM strategy of
planned obsolescence, breakdown, etc., to spur sales. Then there’s
the communist faux capitalism paradox, suppression, oppression,
etc., which has even the defacto bankrupt, pervasively corrupt, fallen
america blindly following. Quite simply, their ancient business model
is slave labor. As for Iran, they are a relatively small nation under
collective siege.]

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.

50 Random Facts That Make You Wonder What In The World Has Happened To America -
The Economic Collapse July 2, 2010 Our world is changing at a pace that is so
staggering these days that it can be really hard to fully grasp the significance of what we
are witnessing. 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. The greatest economic machine that the world has ever seen is falling apart before
our very eyes, and even when our politicians actually try to do something right (which is
quite rare) the end result is still a bunch of garbage. For those who still love this land (and
there are a lot of us) it is heartbreaking to watch America slowly die.

The following are 50 random facts that show just how dramatically america has changed….

time since 1952, and it has continued its downward trend since then.
#46) Corexit 9500 is so incredibly toxic that the UK’s Marine Management Organization has
completely banned it, so if there was a major oil spill in the North Sea, BP would not be able to
use it. And yet BP has dumped over a million gallons of dispersants such as Corexit 9500 into
the Gulf of Mexico.
#45) For the first time in U.S. history, more than 40 million Americans are on food stamps, and
the U.S. Department of Agriculture projects that number will go up to 43 million Americans in
2011.
#44) It has come out that one employee used a Federal Emergency Management Agency credit
card to buy $4,318 in “Happy Birthday” gift cards. Two other FEMA officials charged the cost of
360 golf umbrellas ($9,000) to the taxpayers.
#43) Researchers at the State University of New York at Buffalo received $389,000 from the U.S.

#37) The federal government actually has the gall to ask for online donations that will supposedly
go towards paying off the national debt.
#36) The Cactus Bug Project at the University Of Florida was allocated $325,394 in economic
stimulus funds to study the mating decisions of cactus bugs.
#35) A dinner cruise company in Chicago got nearly $1 million in economic stimulus funds to
combat terrorism.
#34) It is being reported that a 6-year-old girl from Ohio is on the “no fly” list maintained by U.S.

southern Arizona.
#26) The U.S. government has declared some parts of Arizona off limits to U.S. citizens
because of the threat of violence from Mexican drug smugglers.
#25) According to the credit card repayment calculator, if you owe $6000 on a credit card with a
20 percent interest rate and only pay the minimum payment each time, it will take you 54 years to
pay off that credit card. During those 54 years you will pay $26,168 in interest rate charges in
addition to the $6000 in principal that you are required to pay back.

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-hikes-a5171##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 slowly-deduct, 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.

Investors get more gloomy & bearish We just had a very difficult three month stretch for
stocks. The S&P 500 fell 12% for the quarter as did NASDAQ. The Shanghai Composite,
China’s largest stock index, fell 22.9 in its local currency, the yuan. The MSCI EAFE Index
(foreign stocks) was down 14%. 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. This is not
close the peak we reached in early 2009, but the mood is definitely more negative now:
[chart]

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.

NY Times’ Krugman: We Are Entering The Third Depression Recessions are common;
depressions are rare. [Correction: we’re already in a depression].

Stocks: Once More Up, Then the Big Down Smith -The ingredients for a classic head and
shoulders topping pattern in the stock market are all present. That suggests one more rise
and then a massive grinding move 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. Please see "Two Scoop Special": Double-Dip Recession
Guaranteed (May 21, 2010) for more … Exactly what drivers are there for future gains in
corporate profits? I can't think of any, short of Martians landing and going on a shopping
spree with gold they manufacture in their spacecraft. On the negative side, we have:

1. The rising dollar is a huge headwind to sales in the eurozone and elsewhere.
2. 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) …

Momentum Book Update: The Market Is a Mess and the Long Bond Is
About to Break Out … Not only do us swing traders have to fight the urge
to chase price action up, but lay off the keyboard trying to catch falling
knives in the relative strength stocks which are holding up. 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. Our argument
has always been that the US benefits from its reserve-currency status, allowing it to
accumulate unsustainable debts for an unusually long period without the immediate
repercussions of inflation or higher borrowing costs. But this false sense of security may
be setting us up for a truly monumental crash. There is fresh evidence that time is running
out for the dollar-centric global monetary order. In fact, central banks outside the US are
already making swift and discrete preparation for a post-dollar era.To begin, the People's
Bank of China has just this week decided to permit a wider trading range between the
yuan and the dollar. This is the first step toward ending the infernal yuan-dollar peg. While
the impetus behind this abrupt change remains a mystery, I have a sneaking suspicion
that, as my colleague Neeraj Chaudhary explained in his commentary last week, the
nationwide labor strikes were a prime motivator. In response to the 2008 credit crunch, the
Fed printed so many dollars that the People's Bank of China was forced to drive Chinese
inflation into double digits to maintain the peg. The pain has fallen on China's workers,
who have seen their wages stagnate while prices for everything from milk to apartments
have skyrocketed. This week's move indicates that, regardless of its own policy motives,
the Communist Party can no longer afford to keep pace with the dollar's devaluation. The
result will be a shift in wealth from America to China, which may trigger a long-anticipated
run on the dollar, while creating investment opportunities in China. Just days before
China's announcement, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev rattled his monetary sabre by
telling the press of his intention to lead the world toward a new monetary order based on a
broad basket of currencies. Giving strength to his claim, the Central Bank of Russia
announced that it would be adding Canadian and Australian dollars to its reserves for the
first time. Analysts suggest that the IMF may follow suit. While Russia floats in the limbo
between hopeless kleptocracy and emerging economy, it does possess vast natural
resources and a toe-hold in both Europe and Asia. In other words, it will be a strategically
important partner for China as it tries to cast off dollar hegemony. Speaking of Europe, the
major powers there are moving toward a post-dollar world by rejecting President Obama's
calls to jump on America's debt grenade. The prescriptions coming from Washington
translate loosely to: our airship is on fire, so why don't you light a candle under yours so
that we may crash and burn together. Given that dollar strength is largely seen as a
function of euro weakness (as Andrew Schiff discussed in our most recent newsletter,
debt troubles in the eurozone's fringe economies have created a distorted confidence in
the greenback. However, as you might imagine, Europe has higher priorities than being
America's fall guy. Led by an ever-bolder Germany, the European states are wisely
choosing not to throw themselves on our funeral pyre, but to wisely clean house in
anticipation of China's rise. In another ominous sign for the dollar, the Financial Times
reported Wednesday that after two decades as net sellers of gold, foreign central banks
have now become net buyers. What's more, more than half of central bank officials
surveyed by UBS didn't think the dollar would be the world's reserve in 2035. Among the
predicted replacements were Asian currencies and the euro, but - by far - the favorite was
gold. This is supported by Monday's revelation by the Saudi central bank that it had
covertly doubled its gold reserves, just about a year after China made a similar admission.
There is no reason to assume these are isolated incidents, or that the covert trade of
dollars for gold doesn't continue. To the contrary, this is compelling evidence that foreign
governments are outwardly supporting the status quo while quietly preparing for the
dollar's almost-inevitable devaluation. What people like Paul Krugman believe to be a
return to medieval economics may, in fact, be the wave of the future. In peacetime,
hardened troops will likely tolerate a blowhard general for an extended period; but when
the artillery opens up with live ordnance, an ineffectual leader risks rapid demotion. 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.’

Russell: This Is One Of The Largest Tops In Stock Market History 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. 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. …’

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! The recent rally also lasted longer
than the 1930 rally did--a year, as opposed to 6 months … ]

‘What Does China Want?’ They want to speak to Rosanne Rosanna Danna,

Hungary’s the thing! … Rosanne Rosanna Danna, formerly of SNL fame
wanted in Asia to chime in with what her mama always used to say, ‘ It’s

what the something is said to be since the reality is … ‘This is a global
depression. This is a secular bear market in a global depression. This 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.

Despite a nearly-$1 trillion rescue operation, financial conditions in the
eurozone continue to deteriorate. All the gauges of market stress are
edging upwards and credit default swaps (CDS) spreads have widened to
levels not seen since the weekend of the emergency euro-summit. Key
Indicators of a New Depression With the mainstream media focusing on the
country’s leveling unemployment rate, improving retail sales, and nascent
housing recovery, one might think that the US government has
successfully navigated the economy through recession and growth has
returned. Get Ready for a Double Dip … but many warning flags point
towards significant deterioration in the U.S. and global economy going
forward and so I think that by the end of the year or early 2011, we could
very well be facing a new leg down in the world’s economic situation … [I’d
say too optimistic since, to reiterate: This is a global depression. This is a
secular bear market in a global depression. This 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.]

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. 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.

The Worst Money Supply Plunge Since The Depression Means A Double
Dip Is Now A ‘Virtual Certainty’ The stock of U.S. money as measured by
‘M3′ money supply fell to $13.9 trillion from $14.2 trillion during the three
months ending in April. [ This is still an extraordinarily high level but … I
don’t buy it. 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. ] Fiat Money Supply Contracting at Great

The Dow Jones Industrial Average will go down to at least 1000, most

August 1982, and quite likely drop below 400 at one or more times
during the bear market.

Dow Theorist Richard Russell: Sell Everything, You Won’t Recognize


America By The End Of The Year Business Insider | “Pul – leeze, get out

The frauds on wall street et als should be criminally prosecuted, jailed, and
disgorgement imposed. If that were so, they wouldn’t be worrying about
who wins / loses since those who fraudulently play, invariably would (and
should) pay. If they’re not prosecuted, everyone loses.

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 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
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.

including “Elliott Wave Principle” (1978) in which he predicted the super
bull market of the 1980s; “At the Crest of the Tidal Wave – A Forecast of the
Great Bear Market” (1995) in which he predicted a slow motion economic
earthquake, brought about by a great asset mania, that would register 11
on the financial Richter scale causing a collapse of historic proportions;
and “Conquer the Crash: You can Survive and Prosper in a Deflationary
Depression” (2002) in which he described the economic cataclysm that we
are just beginning to experience and advised how to position one’s self
financially during that period of time.
Depression is Imminent
The Dow Jones Industrial Average will go down to at least 1000, most likely

TED OLSON SEEKING TO OVERTURN CALIFORNIA'S PROPOSITION 8,


WHICH LIMITS MARRIAGE TO A MAN AND A WOMAN. After shilling
for the corrupt u.s. government as solicitor general, maybe he just
wanted to go straight [Just Kidding!]. There is no immunity, judicial or
otherwise for criminal acts. Moreover, there is no sovereign immunity
for non-governmental acts as would include involvement in the
illegal drug and related crimes, ie., bribery, etc., and the supreme
court has so held against foreign nations in the context of the RICO
statute but in my RICO case olson the liar would shill otherwise, not
that he really had to worry in light of the pervasively corrupt and
wastefully costly federal courts which should be abolished.

MIDEAST DIGEST Direct talks with Israel futile at this time, Palestinian
leader Abbas says (quite accurately) - After all, america’s defacto
bankrupt, everything’s going according to the zionist israeli plan,
and america’s bogged down in Afghanistan and over concerns
with ‘their opium / poppy fields / heroin trade’

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.

I’ve previously stated and reiterate here that I don’t ordinarily comment on
sports / sports-related matters, and as a matter of disclosure which
could otherwise be interpreted as a reason for what some might
speculate a biased view on my part, some years ago I stated that I
thought Lebron James to be the greatest player since Michael Jordan;
but I’m compelled to write that all this anti-James rhetoric is hurting
my ears and eyes. I’m astounded that even Mr. Gray is being
castigated … for what … not being hard enough on a great player who
after 7 years chooses a new deal at a new location (he was lucky to
get the interview)? After all, athletic careers are particularly finite, not
endless lifetime affairs and where’s his ‘crime’? I suggest Mr. Kurtz
and other critical journalists keep their powder dry and focus on
matters for which they’re expected to scrutinize, report, and inform as,
for example as follows, a sitting u.s. supreme court justice, sam alito,
who as u.s. attorney, obstructed justice / covered-up a drug-money
laundering scheme through the trump casinos in atlantic city which he
was able to quid pro quo parley into lifetime judicial appointments,
see infra:

(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. To alito, drug money is as green as corporate money and worth
his vote as well. In addition to being an inept [I looked in on the one mob
case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was
suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known /
previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was
absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt alito brought in
all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first)
who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans
during testimony and had the jury in stitches)] and corrupt (see below and
particularly the summary provided to the FBI under penalty of perjury [

attorney.

You’re naïve to think that the so-called supreme court is any different from
the rest of the meaningfully lawless and pervasively corrupt american
‘system’. I knew well an accomplished trial lawyer, fellow american college
of trial lawyers / and a bar examiner, who pondered from time to time
becoming a judge “so he’d never have to work again” – his words.

Some comments on alito…all appropriate:

Probably the worst appointment in one hundred years.

u.s. government.

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!

I’ve previously stated and reiterate here that I don’t ordinarily comment on
sports / sports-related matters, and as a matter of disclosure which
could otherwise be interpreted as a reason for what some might
speculate a biased view on my part, some years ago I stated that I
thought Lebron James to be the greatest player since Michael Jordan;
but I’m compelled to write that all this anti-James rhetoric is hurting
my ears and eyes. I’m astounded that even Mr. Gray is being
castigated … for what … not being hard enough on a great player who
after 7 years chooses a new deal at a new location (he was lucky to
get the interview)? After all, athletic careers are particularly finite, not
endless lifetime affairs and where’s his ‘crime’?
I suggest Mr. Kurtz and other critical journalists focus on matters they’re
expected to scrutinize, report, and inform as, ie., , a sitting u.s.
supreme court justice, sam alito, who as u.s. attorney, obstructed
justice / covered-up a drug-money laundering scheme through the
trump casinos in atlantic city which he was able to quid pro quo
parley into lifetime judicial appointments:

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. To alito, drug money is as green as corporate money and worth
his vote as well. In addition to being an inept [I looked in on the one mob
case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was
suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known /
previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was
absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent, corrupt alito brought
in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them
first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their
moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches)] and corrupt (see
below and particularly the summary provided to the FBI under penalty of
perjury [

ofperjury.pdf
http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ] ) u.s.
attorney.

Rendition: Where the War on Terror Meets the War on Drugs I’ve
experienced the corrupt inter-relationship of the government (all 3
branches) and the illegal drug trade / obstruction of justice / bribery
first hand, particularly the courts / u.s. attorneys offices (ie., alito –
now u.s. supreme court justice – quid pro quo for his complicity /
cover-up), feds:

…“Evidence points to aircraft – familiarly known as “torture taxis” –


used by the CIA to move captives seized in its kidnapping or
“extraordinary rendition” operations through Gatwick and other
airports in the EU being simultaneously used for drug distribution ..
crashed in Mexico…” In 2004, another torture taxi crashed in a field
in Nicaragua with a ton of cocaine aboard…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.. Time to abolish these drags on society
and eliminate their lifetime stipends and costly bureaucracies. Rules
of law mean nothing them. Most, including sam alito of the u.s.
supreme court, concerning drug money laundering and obstruction
of justice in the 3rd circuit ( also maryanne trump barry who covered-
up drug money laundering through her brother’s casinos in a civil
RICO case) should have gone to or belong in jail. Contrary to popular
belief, they do it for the money, personal money, big, cash,
untraceable money. The fog of war is great for such things (360 tons
$100 bills flown into Iraq and missing, etc.).

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!

Afghan war overtakes Vietnam to become the longest conflict in U.S.


history Mail Online | The war entered its 104th month yesterday, with
30,000 American troops being deployed in the first half of this year
alone.

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?

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.

I include the first two comments to the foregoing headline:


Billo Says:
June 11th, 2010 at 6:15 am
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. General
Stanley McChrystal’s sharp comments about Obama, Biden, and the
administration published by Rolling Stone are not so much about
disrespect, as the script-reading corporate media talking heads would
have it, but rather about a policy in disarray in Afghanistan.

‘Beinart moment’ The controversial book, The Israel Lobby, in which
the political scientists, John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, argued

strangely unnoticed by the leading journal of American intellectual
opinion, the New York Review of Books. Doubts Grow Over Israel’s

U.S. interests in the region.

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.

their civil liberties have been forfeited. US citizen killed on flotilla

Furkan Dogan was shot at close range, with four bullets in his head and

Paul Craig Roberts: Government Abandoned Vietnam POWs Kurt Nimmo |


John McCain worked overtime to make sure Vietnam POWs never came
home. I think the even bigger story vis-à-vis mccain is:
http://www.albertpeia.com/heroenot.htm ‘Did you know that that so-called
"american heroe" john mccain was referred to by his fellow pows in
Vietnam as something akin to the "songbird" inasmuch as he was
constantly "singing" to his Viet-Cong captors to curry favor and better
treatment? This has been documented with authority by Colonel David
Hackworth. The same violates military code/protocol (other soldiers have
been court-martialed for far less) click Here, Here. [
http://www.albertpeia.com/hackworth.htm ] But, you see, this covered up
scenario, compromizing the false facade of far less than a heroe, is exactly
what a criminal (lie of a) nation as america loves and encourages (get
everyone's hands dirty so no-one dares to rectify same, ie., bush, sr.,
clinton, bush, jr.). That is, "toe the (corrupt, propagandized) line", become a
criminal, or be exposed, prosecuted, and/or ruined; and, hasn't anyone
asked how "wall street" has been "spared the spotlight" (and even was
accorded protective legislation from their criminal culpability) and focus of
inquiry, attention, and prosecution despite being the primary beneficiaries
financial and otherwise of these scams (you know the wall street motto,
"churn and earn"; huge conflicts of interest if not outright fraud)…’

"What this means is that Neanderthals are not totally extinct. 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.
Parenthetically, I wonder what that anthropological scientist Heidi
Klum thinks on the subject.

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 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”.]
