"Greece
Is Bear Stearns. Italy Is Lehman" - 7 Quick Points On Europe. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/26/2015. In a fundamentals-driven market you need to look
at fund flows; in a Narrative-driven market you need to look at Narrative
flows. With Draghi’s announcement last Thursday, there is no longer a
marginal provider of market-supportive monetary policy Narrative. Or to put
this in game theoretic terms, the 2nd derivative of the Narrative of Central
Bank Omnipotence just flipped negative. We’ve shifted from an accelerating
Narrative flow to a decelerating Narrative flow, and that
inflection point in profoundly important in game-playing. The long grey
slide of the Entropic
Ending begins.

Seven
Decades Of Data Prove This Is A Really Dumb Idea... (But They'll Do It Anyway) Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/26/2015. There’s almost always an elite, or government, with a
‘scarcity’ mentality that believes in the zero sum game, i.e. for anyone to be
a winner, someone else has to be a loser. When they’re short of cash,
governments almost invariably raise taxes. Of course, the numbers show that
raising taxes rarely affects total tax revenue. There’s a very looooong
history which clearly establishes this point. And you’d think that a government
would look at the data and recognize the obvious truth: their scarcity
mentality doesn’t work. But no. Sadly, in the face of such overwhelming
data, the Obama administration is now pushing to raise tax rates once again...

The
Template Of Life In America Has Broken.Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/26/2015. The more detached
from reality American culture becomes the more strictly ceremonial leadership
gets, as illustrated by the raft of bromides Barack Obama floated past the
assembled vassalage of government last week in another grand effort to avoid
the necessities of the moment. Those necessities include freeing a hostage
public from the tyrannical clutches of corporate despotism — the evil empire of
big boxes, big burgers, big pharma, Big Brother — and the atrocious rackets
fostered by them that masquerade as an economy. The template of the life we
have known is broken and the pieces within are flying apart, and no amount of
wishing or promising can keep them going. If this society is even going to
survive, the people have to smash their way out of this template prison,
probably against the efforts of the people and organizations now running it
merely for their own benefit.

Federation.

Saxo
Bank: The Syriza Victory Is A Disaster For Europe. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/26/2015. The Greek election result was worse than expected
- the anti-austerity vote is massive, but it could be an empty gesture as
Greece in reality has little choice: Comply with the Troika or leave the EUR.
Saxo Bank's Steen Jakobsen doubts the latter will happen with the same vote as
the Greeks are tired of austerity but not of being European. However, game
theory dictates that some solution will be found which is sub-optimal for all
parties, but the risk it will take longer than market have nerves for. There
remains a consensus that “things will be ok...” but the early comments indicate
the positioning is already starting...

From
Keynesian Shangri-La To Outright War. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/26/2015. The problem with all
Keynesian styled philosophy is, it works well, and seems utterly brilliant on
paper and in the classrooms of academia - when trouble arises its "To the
text books!" for answers and BAM! – crisis solved. However in the real
world it doesn't work that way. Just like war, when the battle starts, all
earlier plans get thrown in the dust heap. And make no mistake, this was all
started via armchair generals who believed monetary policy could be managed from
within the Ivory Towers of academia and the consequences of these policies are
multiplying by the day. As Mike Tyson once said so eloquently: (I’m
paraphrasing) "Everybody's got a plan – till someone punches them in the
face." The SNB has just landed the first blow. Now what?

When
A Soaring Dollar "Reflects Loss Of Investor Confidence And Is Potentially
Devastating" Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/26/2015. "The Ruble has fallen by 50% in a year. The
price of oil has halved, the price of copper, iron ore and many other
commodities has tumbled. The Swiss franc has been de-floored and the
uproar was huge. All random events, all part of a pattern. Financial markets
are feeling the effects of a pick-up in volatility that has followed the end of
Fed QE. While zero rates were augmented with Fed bond-buying, investors
went around the world in search of higher yields, in all sorts or assets and
currencies. Traders and investors of one kind or another resorted to leverage
to reach the yield targets they needed to match their required investment returns.
All of which was fine while the party went on forever, but now that it’s
ending, the outcome is anything but fine."

Syriza
Forms Coalition Government With Anti-Bailout Independent Greeks: What Happens
Next. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/26/2015. There was some excitement in the capital markets
overnight, when what was initially seen as an outright victory for Syriza,
giving it an absolute, 151-seat majority in parliament - a fear that briefly
pushed the EURUSD under 1.11 when the Euro PPT stepped in - ended up being a
placing just shy of a majority with 149 seats. However, that same excitement
fizzled several hours ago when the "radical left" party agreed to
form a government with the "rightwing" group of the Independent
Greeks in the aftermath of Syriza's historic win which harnessed the public
backlash against years of belt-tightening, job losses and hardship.
