Teachers'
Retirement Funds Are Piling Into Manhattan Real Estate At Record High Prices. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/28/2015 Wondering who the greater fool is, wonder no longer.
TIAA-CREF (Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association – College Retirement
Equities Fund) essentially manages the investments of people who know the
least about investing, i.e., muppets. As such, it came as no surprise that TIAA-CREF
might serve as an important bag-holding vehicle for bubble assets just before a
fall (when the latest Central Bank bubble pops), tempted by juicy 4%
yields... in other words, teachers and nurses are shattering property
records to fund their retirement.

Contagion: California's Kern County Declares Fiscal Emergency Due To Plunging

Times reports, it is precisely California, and specifically Kern County
located in the middle of the state and containing the farmer town of
Bakersfield and countless oil rigs, that yesterday declared a state of
fiscal emergency during the weekly supervisors' meeting on Tuesday. The
reason: predictions of a massive shortfall in property tax revenues because of
tanking oil prices.

Another
Ex-Central Planner Speaks Up: Currency War Policy "Risks Major Downward

The Bank of England - has joined the ranks of those ex-central-planners-who-feel-the-need-to-protect-their-legacy-by-rewriting-history-and-admitting-the-entire-thing-is-crazy.
Warning that many nations realize "they have pushed monetary policy as far
as it can go," King added that with the additional risk of currency wars, "markets
will discover that they have been pushing asset prices to an excessively high
level and there will be a major downward shock to asset prices."

Fired
Before Hired: How Corporations Rigged The Job Market And Killed The American
Dream. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/28/2015. The latest corporate scam is to blame workers for the
high unemployment rate. They say there is a skills gap. Even President Obama is
in on the joke. The real skills gap is the other way around: too many skills
for the low-wage menial jobs that pervade the labor market. The person who
makes your coffee or your Big Mac might be able to design the next major bridge
or write for The New York Times. Instead of high school kids cooking up your
lunch, true professionals are behind the counter, and the future of the country
is behind it too. The longer they stay there, the odds increase that
America will take a permanent backseat in global power. In one short
century, we have gone from superpower to super size me, a plutocracy, a nation that
wasted its most valuable resource: the energy and innovation of its own people.

"The
Barricades Are Down" Syriza Is Already Rolling Back Austerity
"Reforms". Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/28/2015. It didn't take long for Syriza to start making
changes in Greece. While these may be minor at the margin compared to the
debt "issues", as KeepTalkingGreece
reports, Alexis Tsipras and his junior coalition partner Panos Kammenos
pushed the Fast Forward button to restore a series of so-called “reforms”,
that is austerity measures imposed by the country’s lenders, the Troika -
among the left-wing reforms are: scrapping planned privatizations, scrapping
fees in public hospitals and prescriptions, restore “the 13th pension” for
low-pensioners and other actions that SYRIZA had promised before the elections.
And the iron barricades in front of Parliament have been removed.

Meet
The Extreme Super Rich: A List Of The 80 People Who Own As Much As The World’s
Poorest 3.6 Billion. by
Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog, Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/28/2015. "Eighty people hold the same amount of wealth
as the world’s 3.6 billion poorest people, according to an analysis just
released from Oxfam. The report from the global anti-poverty organization finds
that since 2009, the wealth of those 80 richest has doubled in nominal terms
— while the wealth of the poorest 50 percent of the world’s population has
fallen." There you have it. The reason the wealth of the richest
has doubled since 2009, is because “it’s not a recession, it’s a
robbery.” Central bank and government policy has done this, it is no
accident. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-01-28/meet-extreme-super-rich-list-80-people-who-own-much-world%E2%80%99s-poorest-36-billion
The reason the wealth of the
richest has doubled since 2009, is because “it’s not a recession, it’s a
robbery.” Central bank and government policy has done this, it is no accident.
For more evidence…
Four years earlier, 388
billionaires together held as much wealth as the poorest 50 percent of the
world.
Thirty-five of the 80 richest people in the world are U.S. citizens, with
combined wealth of $941 billion in 2014. Together in second place are Germany
and Russia, with seven mega-rich individuals apiece. The entire list is
dominated by one gender, though — 70 of the 80 richest people are men. And 68
of the people on the list are 50 or older.
Oxfam notes that global
wealth inequality is increasing while the rich get richer. If trends continue,
the organization projects that the richest 1 percent of people will have more
wealth than the remaining 99 percent by 2016.
Now here’s the list:

The
History Of Global Crises Through The Eyes Of The US Dollar. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 01/28/2015. "King
Dollar" met Queen Caterpillar this week and awoke the beast of broken
narratives that a strong dollar may not be the 'unambiguously good' thing so
many proclaim it to be. However, with the rest of the world competitively
weakening their currencies (in order to 'help' their economies), we hope the
chart above will help readers decide which they prefer... a stronger (US
multinational-crushing) dollar or a weak (domestic drag) dollar? http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-01-28/history-global-crises-through-eyes-us-dollar

QE
Is Not A Solution: "It's A Marker Of All That Is Wrong". Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 01/28/2015. Nowhere is this
reality more evident than in the evolution of at least credit market
thinking on the subject, viewing the decrepit state of the actual economy
now more appropriately; moving in the “wrong” direction. There is, again,
perhaps something to that sharp bearish turn in December.

Greek
Credit Risk Spikes, Default Probability Tops 70%. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/28/2015. Perhaps not
surprising moves, given new Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis
reality-exposing comments yesterday, "the problem with the bailout
is that it wasn’t really a bailout... it was an extend and pretend, it was a
vicious cycle, a debt-deflationary trap, which destroyed our social
economy."

Yesterday's
"Dip" Was A Warning... To Get Out Of The Casino. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/28/2015. Shortly after yesterday’s open, the S&P 500 was
down nearly 2% and off its recent all-time high by 3.5%. But soon the
robo-machines and day traders were buying the “dip” having apparently once
again gotten the “all-clear” signal. Don’t believe it for a second! The
global financial system is literally booby-trapped with accidents waiting to
happen owing to six consecutive years of massive money printing by
nearly every central bank in the world.
