Stunning
Terrorism Statistics that Nobody Wants You to Know. Posted on January 17, 2015 by WashingtonsBlog . Experts say
that terrorists are strongly motivated – for two reasons – to
exaggerate their abilities to inflict damage: 1- Terrorism is defined as “the use of violence and
intimidation in the pursuit of political aims”. So terrorists exaggerate
their destructive abilities in order to increase intimidation and push their
aims, and 2- The more damage people believe that a terrorist group has
inflicted, the more donations and funding they will receive from radical
extremists. Specifically, radicals are more likely to fund terrorists who
are “effective” in inflicting damage than those who can’t pull off murder and
mayhem

"We
Have Been Captured... We Are Parented, Not Represented". We are
enslaved with encroaching laws that are demeaning to rational self sufficient
adults. And by a legislative body that feeds from our bosom, fights with
our fists and has buried us in debt to a foreign body who they sold the rights
to our currency. How is this in any way a self-governed society?
We have been captured by a group of fraudulent citizens who control
our money, our military and have desecrated our constitution.

Volatility Is
Back. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/16/2015 Despite proclamations
of stability in oil prices this week, Oil implied-volatility has surged back to
new cycle highs this week (near record highs). Credit volatility has been
rising for a number of weeks and now equity volatility has been dragged higher
(to its highest weekly close since Dec 2012). Thanks to the SNB decision, FX
volatility has also exploded this week - the biggest spike since May 2010 to
its highest since Dec 2011. Rate volatility remains the least affected for now
- though has been on the rise all year and now stands at it highest in 4
months. Simply put, since QE ended... volatility is back.

5
Things To Ponder: A View Of A Correction. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/16/2015. While earnings estimates are rapidly being guided
down, it is likely only a temporary issue due to plunging oil prices. However,
not to worry, the economy is set to continue its upward growth trajectory.
Maybe that is the case. But as investors we should always have a watchful
eye on the things that could possibly go wrong that could lead to a rapid
decline in investment capital.

About That
"Strong" Dollar. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/16/2015 At the moment, the US dollar is choice. This
isn’t necessarily a vote of confidence for the dollar. It’s more like a vote
against all the others. If big institutional investors must choose between
bankrupt America and bankrupt Europe, right now they choose America. But
this is a decision that can and will be changed in an instant. Just
look at the Swiss franc...

How
The Oligarchs Spend 'Your' Money. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/16/2015. Ultra-expensive automobiles accounted for a massive
slice of the global luxury goods market last year. Across the world, the super
rich spent almost $438 billion on fancy cars in 2014. Personal luxury items
like perfume, jewellery and clothing were the second largest market, accounting
for $278 billion. The value of the world’s luxury goods market has increased
steadily in recent times, little surprise given the increasing number of
billionaires across the globe. All in all, people splurged over $1 trillion
on upmarket items throughout the year.

Prices Tumble Most In 6 Years, Core Inflation Misses. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/16/2015. Great news! The cost of 'stuff' that Americans buy
dropped 0.4% last month, or rahter great news for anyone but economists for
whom this is the worst possible outcome imaginable - after all what will spur
insolvent Americans, where the middle class no longer exists, to spend their
money today if they don't think prices will rise tomorrow?

"Volatile
Volatility" .Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/16/201. As a one-day upward move in a major currency its had
few peers through history and is firmly in the top 10 of daily upward moves for
any currency (vs the dollar) that we have data for which in many cases goes
back into the nineteenth century. Most of the others in this top 10 are EM
countries. So this is a rare event as when a peg gets abandoned and a big move
ensues it’s usually a devaluation from a fixed rate system.What makes this move
shocking is that just last month the SNB committed themselves to preventing
their currency appreciating beyond 1.20 to the Euro and vowed they would
enforce the policy with "the utmost determination". The risk for the
global financial system is that if the SNB can make such a dramatic u-turn could
other central banks follow at some point. We're not so concerned here as their
situation is arguably a lot different to the ECB. The ECB might actually look
at the wider market moves yesterday and be scared to disappoint.
