ZERO HEDGE
And
The World Was Split In Twain
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/05/2015. In 1991, the Cold
War between the US and the USSR ended, as, economically, the USSR had run its
course. Since that time, the US has had the ability to back off on armaments
and to strengthen itself economically, to become even more powerful as the
world’s present empire. But, of course, that’s not what they did. Instead,
they went headlong in the direction of becoming a more highly armed, more
fascist state. Along the way, they became extremely reckless with their
economy, following a Keynesian model that contributed to the greatest debt
bubble the world has ever seen.

Scotiabank's
Haselmann: "The 30 Year Will Trade With A One Handle In 2015" Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/05/2015 The biggest hurdle is too much debt, not the
need for more cheap money. QE may also have sizable
unintended consequences through rampant market speculation, herd-like investor
behavior, and the creation of asset bubbles. Those potential
ramifications have yet to be realized. ... The best investments or trades
usually entail envisioning markets going to previously unforeseen levels and
tying it to a coherent story line. Given the simple scenario outlined above,
investors should become open minded to the potential for long-dated Treasuries
continuing to rally. I can envision the 10-year note trading to a new
low yield (below 1.38%) and even below 1%. I expect the yield curve to
flatten viciously this year. I remain a bond bull and believe the
30-year yield will trade with a ‘one handle’ (i.e.; below 2%) in 2015.

It is anybody’s guess, but here are the top five variables that will determine the trajectory of oil prices over the next 12 months, in no particular order.

2015:
A World Ruled By Hubris, Willful Blindness And Desperation. by Charles Hugh-Smith of OfTwoMinds
blog, Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/05/2015. Issuing lies and pursuing willful blindness is
not leadership: it's failure on a grand scale.//
Rather than issue predictions for
2015, this week I'll cover themes that I believe will be consequential in the
year ahead.
The first theme is the dominant
psychological dynamic of global leadership, which can be distilled down to a
toxic brew of Hubris, Willful Blindness and Desperation.
Examples of leadership hubris abound, and they all arise from the false confidence
that the same playbook and tools that rescued the Status Quo from well-deserved
oblivion for the past six years will continue working splendidly in the years
ahead.
The Federal Reserve's days of
desperation lie just ahead. When
interest rates can't be pushed any lower, when risk assets can't be pushed any
higher, when the U.S. dollar's ascent cannot be stopped, then we'll see the Fed
issue the same sort of painfully desperate statements as their central banker
compatriots spew on a near-daily basis.
Issuing lies and pursuing willful
blindness is not leadership: it's
failure on a grand scale. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-01-05/2015-world-ruled-hubris-willful-blindness-and-desperation

Euro,
Crude Crash Resumes; US Stock Futures Slump On Grexit Fears; China Soars. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/05/2015. The new year is not even a week old and already the
volatility fireworks are off, as well as the continued commodity derisking. But
while for now US stocks continue to be an island oasis in a turbulent global
sea where GDP forecasts decline every single day, the same can not be said
about either the Euro, which after crashing overnight to a 9 year low, and
rebounding briefly, has continued to decline and is now once again flirting
with a key support level, this time 1.19, last reached during the May 2010
first Greek bailout. The catalyst, as usual, Greece which may or may not be
leaving the Eurozone shortly, as well as ongoing bets on ECB QE following this
morning's regional German inflation data which declined once more and now hints
at outright deflation in Europe's strongest nation.

"Startling" Proposal To Europe: Dump The US, Join The Eurasian

Durden on 01/05/2015. "Russia has presented a startling proposal to
overcome the tensions with the EU: The EU should renounce the free trade
agreement with the United States TTIP and enter into a partnership with the
newly established Eurasian Economic Union instead. A free trade zone with
the neighbors would make more sense than a deal with the US."
