JAN 15 SIT EC n POL
Remeber: what comes inside brackets is my quick reaction to this news
W-B
The
Fed flooded the global economy with credit borrowed in U.S. dollars during its
quantitative easing programs. Now that the Fed has ended its QE
money-printing program, the dollars have dried up. The other source of
dollars–U.S. trade deficit–has also contracted as the trade deficit has
declined.
This decline in the availability of U.S. dollars has placed
global borrowers with dollar-denominated debt in a vice as the scarcity of
dollars meets the pressing need to refinance debt that’s coming due and needs
to be rolled over.
Strong demand and reduced supply lead to much higher prices
for dollars–which is exactly what the world is seeing.
….
The oil exporters who are losing tens of billions of dollars
in cumulative revenue do not have any equivalent Sugar Daddy. Their declines in
income will have to be matched by declines in spending, declines that will
cascade through the oil exporters’ economies with devastating impact.
If you want to deploy the oil weapon, make sure you
have a central bank that can intervene at will, in whatever size is necessary,
to reduce the impact on your own economy, while maximizing the financial pain
inflicted on the targets of the oil weapon.

another torturer. Is no other way to recycle them and give them directly to the

but we need more to put the bankers and Wall Street crooks form America. What
about closing the place and give Guantanamo back to Cuba.. they need a museum

Why
Our Central Planners Are Breeding Failure. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/15/2015. Success, we’re
constantly told, breeds success. And success breeds stability. The way to
avoid failure is to copy successful people and strategies. The way to continue
succeeding is to do more of what has been successful. This line of thinking is
so intuitively compelling that we wonder what other basis for success can there
be other than 'success'? As counter-intuitive as it may sound, success rather
reliably leads to failure and destabilization. Instead, it’s the close study of
failure and the role of luck that leads to success. In the macro-economic
arena, we think it highly likely that the monetary and fiscal policies of the
past six years that are conventionally viewed as successful will lead to
spectacular political and financial failures in 2015 and 2016. How can
success breed failure? It turns out there are a number of dynamics at work.

"Putin
Destroyed The New World Order", According To Estonia's President Ilves. Submitted by Tyler

and Viagra for the lack of cojones. No fue Putin quien instaló a los neo-nazis en
Kiev. No fue Putin quien
prohibió el idioma materno de los habitantes de Crimea. No fue
Putin quien instalo el círculo de misiles de NATO contra la población rusa y
china cuando se disolvió la URSS. Por tanto, el “world order” lo destruyo NATO.
Al Eston Ilves le falto cojones para
decir esta verdad. Revisa archivos STUP.. pero
antes ve a un médico a que te revise el cerebro, si algo de eso te queda.
O quizá el concepto “world order” de los Estonian sea similar a caos, SI ES
ASI, eso explicaría por qué eligieron como Presidente a semejante estúpido] .

"If
It’s Not A Hard Asset, It’s No Asset". Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/15/2015. When fiat
currencies fail, one of the only things of value left standing will be hard
assets that are needed by individuals for everyday needs. The paper
promises will dissolve along with the public confidence in the banking system. Everything
works until it doesn’t. This is especially true for ponzi schemes and fiat
currencies. Don’t be the last one holding paper when chaos strikes. You may
live to regret it.

Bloomberg reports, thousands of energy industry workers are now getting

"For the oil and gas industry, it’s scary," explains one worker,

industry." Can we blame him, watching business media and one could
be forgiven for believing this plunge is "unambiguously awesome." As
the following chilling chart shows, however, it is not...

3
Things - Employment, Interest Rates & Retail Sales. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/15/2015. The majority of the jobs "created"
since the financial crisis have been lower wage paying jobs in retail,
healthcare and other service sectors of the economy. Conversely, the jobs
created within the energy space are some of the highest wage paying
opportunities available in engineering, technology, accounting, legal, etc. In
fact, each job created in energy related areas has had a "ripple
effect" of creating 2.8 jobs elsewhere in the economy from piping to
coatings, trucking and transportation, restaurants and retail. Simply put,
lower oil and gasoline prices may have a bigger detraction on the economy that
the "savings" provided to consumers.

So
Much Changes In 48 Hours. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/15/2015 - 08:25
January
12, 2015: "We took stock of the situation less than a month ago, we
looked again at all the parameters and we are convinced that the minimum
exchange rate must remain the cornerstone of our monetary policy," SNB's
Jean-Pierre Danthine.
January
15, 2015: "Recently, divergences between the monetary policies of the
major currency areas have increased significantly – a trend that is likely to
become even more pronounced. The euro has depreciated considerably against the
US dollar and this, in turn, has caused the Swiss franc to weaken against the
US dollar. In these circumstances, the SNB concluded that enforcing and
maintaining the minimum exchange rate for the Swiss franc against the euro is
no longer justified."

Just Pulled Itself Out Of The Petrodollar. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/14/2015. Their divorce from the USD has quickly become a very
messy affair, with lots of screaming and the occasional artillery shell. As Bloomberg
reports Russia "may unseal its $88 billion Reserve Fund and convert
some of its foreign-currency holdings into rubles, the latest government effort
to prop up an economy veering into its worst slump since 2009." "Together
with the central bank, we are selling a part of our foreign-currency reserves,”
Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said in Moscow today. “We’ll get rubles and
place them in deposits for banks, giving liquidity to the economy."

Gallup
CEO Blasts US Leadership "The Economy Is Not Coming Back". Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 01/14/2015. The U.S. now
ranks not first, not second, not third, but 12th among developed nations in
terms of business startup activity as Gallup
CEO Jim Clifton rages, for the first time in 35 years, American business
deaths now outnumber business births. Wall Street, Clifton explains, needs the
stock market to boom, even if that boom is fueled by illusion. So both tell us,
"The economy is coming back." Let's get one thing clear, he
exclaims, "this economy is never truly coming back unless we reverse the
birth and death trends of American businesses."
