"Catastrophic
Shutdown Of America's Supply Chain Looms" As West Coast Port Worker Talks
Break Down. by Tyler
Durden on 02/05/2015. As RILA
reports, "a work slowdown during contract negotiations over the past
seven months has already created logistic nightmares for American exporters,
manufacturers and retailers dependent on an efficient supply chain. A
complete shutdown would be catastrophic, with hundreds of thousands of jobs at
risk if America’s supply chain grinds to a halt."

Shameless!
Meet 7 Congressmen Who Joined Lobbying Firms Less Than A Month After Leaving
Office. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/05/2015 If there was a walk of shame for so-called
Congressional “representatives,” this list would serve as an excellent starting
point. Their actions serve as definitive proof that the vast majority of
politicians are only in it for money and power. They could care less about
“public service” or being statesmen. If that was truly their calling in life,
they wouldn’t immediately turn around and join lobbying firms the moment they
leave office. Yet all they do is cash in. The most amazing part about
this article is that “by law, ex-House members are required to wait one
year before they can officially lobby lawmakers on the Hill.” Naturally,
professional liars and thieves won’t let something as pedestrian as ethics or
rules get in the way. If there’s one thing politicians are good at, it’s
finding loopholes.

Shunned
Greece Agrees To Boost Economic Cooperation With Russia. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/05/2015 Russia is
willing (and able) to provide financial aid if asked by finance minister Anton
Siluanov. So
headlines this evening from ekathimerini should not be entirely surprising
that Putin and Tsipras have agreed to boost cooperation in the economy
and energy, tourism, culture and transport sectors; and discussed the possible
creation of a pipeline to carry natural gas from Russia to Europe via Turkey
and Greece.

What
Central Bank Defeat Would Look Like, In Charts. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/05/2015 Central bank victory means that lower rates,
currencies, oil successfully boosts global GDP & PMI’s in Q2/Q3, allowing
Fed hikes in Q4. Bond yields would soar in H1 on this outcome. Defeat,
no recovery, and currency wars, debt default and deficit financing become macro
realities.

A
New Theory Of Energy And The Economy, Part 2 - The Long-Term GDP-Energy Tie .Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/05/2015 In
Part 1, we described
the world’s economy as one that is based on energy. The design of the
system is such that the economy can only grow; shrinkage tends to cause
collapse. If this view of the situation is correct, then we need an ever-rising
amount of inexpensive energy to keep the system going. We have gone from trying
to grow the world economy on oil, to trying to grow the world economy on coal.
Both of these approaches have “hit walls”. Now we have practically
nowhere to go.

The
Fed's Stunning Primer For Life In A Negative Interest Rate World. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/05/2015.
if rates go negative, the U.S. Treasury Department’s
Bureau of Engraving and Printing will likely be called upon to print a lot more
currency as individuals and small businesses substitute cash for at least some
of their bank balances.
- As interest rates go more negative, market participants will have increasing incentives to make payments quickly and to receive payments in forms that can be collected slowly
- if interest rates go negative, the incentives reverse: people receiving payments will prefer checks (which can be held back from collection) to electronic transfers
- we may see an epochal outburst of socially unproductive—even if individually beneficial—financial innovation

Chinese
Rating Agency Warns Coming Crisis Is Worse Than 2008, Blames US "Printing
Press". Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/05/2015. "...we’ll have to face a new world
financial crisis in the next few years... the growing volume of debts and
the unsteady development of the economies of the US, the EU, China and some
other developing countries mean the situation is even worse than ahead of
2008."

3
Things - The 5.6% Lie, Dividend Cuts, Valuation. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/05/2015. We can certainly
"hope" that the markets will continue to march endlessly higher.
However, "hope" has never been an effective portfolio management
strategy. Considering that the decline in oil prices is supposed to good
for the consumer, even though personal spending declined in the most recently
reported period, the decline in dividends will certainly have a negative effect
on those depending on those dividends. The current detachment between spending
and the stock market will likely be corrected rather harshly at some point.

"Investors
Are Now Playing An Epic Game Of Chicken" .Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/05/2015. "Central
bank polices have ruptured the proper functioning of capital markets. Some
investors myopically believe that 'money printing needs a home' and that it
will end up in equities (the asset class with upside). However, such a
belief needs to include a deep faith in the central bank’s abilities to
navigate a soft landing. History is not on their side. Investors pouring
into equities might be playing an epic game of chicken."

Hong
Kong Is Doomed! Foolishly Lowers, Eliminates Taxes To Stimulate Economy.Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/05/2015. The Hong Kong government is so foolish that one
official said: "There is a need to stimulate the city’s domestic
consumption by introducing measures to leave more cash in the hands of the
public." What are you talking about, man? Everyone knows that you
stimulate the economy by increasing government spending, not reducing it
and just leaving the people to decide what they’re going to spend it on. It’s
insane.
