Europe's
Controlled Demolition. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 07/01/2015
The EU is blowing up itself by trying to exert far too much
influence on the very member nations that made its existence possible. Brussels
is a blind city. It will take a lot of pain, and probably even the very wars
the EU was originally founded to prevent, to figuratively burn it to the
ground.

"A true bubble is when something is overvalued

It is the absolute taboo. It’s like telling the world there’s no Santa Claus."

When
Disruption Gets Too Disruptive. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 06/30/2015
With massive strikes in France and now
drivers shooting passengers, Uber is making headlines everywhere. While
some might say any publicity is good publicity (and any disruption is good
disruption), for the firm valued at $50 billion (with a stunning
operating loss of $470 million and revenues of only $415 million)
perhaps there is a limit to both press and disruption...

Greece: The Five Possible Paths Forward. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/30/2015 Acg. WSJ
Greece is poised between remaining a member of the eurozone
or leaving it. In fact, as
WSJ's Stephen Fidler explains, there are five possible future currency
arrangements for Greece. Here they are...
1. Greece stays in the eurozone:
2. Greece keeps the euro, but sits outside the eurozone:
3. A currency board:
4. A dual system:

Halts Russian Gas Purchases After Price Talks Fail. Submitted by Tyler

[ The worse: Brazil and Col eliminated from the finals in Copa
America 2015. The best game is coming today: Argentina- Paraguay. In the Groups
round they tied in the incredible 2nd half.. a piece of art ]
June has been a bad month for deals and deadlines all
around: first Greece is about to enter July without a bailout program and in
default to the IMF with the ECB about to yank its ELA support or at least cut
ELA haircuts; also the US failed to reach a nuclear deal with Iran in a
can-kicking negotiation that has become so farcical there is no point in even
covering it; and now moments ago a third June 30 "deal" failed to
reach an acceptable conclusion when Russia and Ukraine were unable to reach an
agreement on gas prices at talks in Vienna on Tuesday. As a result, Ukraine
is suspending its purchase of Russian gas.

"Off
The Grid" Indicators Suggest US Economy Not Ready For 'Liftoff'. S
by Tyler Durden on 06/30/2015
Every quarter ConvergEx's Nick Colas reviews a raft of
unusual and less examined datasets with an eye to refining and adding
perspective to the more traditional macroeconomic analyses. This quarter’s
assessment of everything from large pickup truck and firearms sales to Google
search autofills for “I want to buy/sell” shows a U.S. economy that is
reasonably strong but growing only very slowly. The chief areas of concern:
Food Stamp participation is still very high at 45.6 million Americans (14%
of the total population) and indicators like used car prices and large pickup
sales are flat.

After seven long years of aggressively defending a monetary

Spoiler alert: the
Fed doesn't think "taking from the rich to give to the poor" would be
very productive.

Former

Americans To Revolt. Submitted by Tyler

"On a more personal level, how can public service
be promoted as an ideal to young people when this sewer corrupts our Republic?
At this point in early twenty-first-century America, the greatest service our
nation’s young people could provide is to lead an army of outraged young
Americans armed with brooms on a crusade to sweep out the rascals and rid
our capital of the money changers, rent seekers, revolving door dancers, and
special interest deal makers and power brokers and send them back home to make
an honest living, that is, if they still remember how to do so."

While perhaps not on the scale of China or Russia
assistance, Turkey has thrown its hat into the Troika-Greece farce by offering
financial assistance to its embattled neighbor. As

economic crisis with cooperation in tourism, energy, trade,"
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said and Turkey's left-wing parties
showed solidarity by adding, "we believe that apart from imposing
austerity policies on peoples of Europe, there can be more reasonable
agreements." While no aid has been asked fro Turkey says it is
ready to evaluate options.

The Greek tragedy is reaching its climax.
The discussions between Greece and its European creditors
broke down over the weekend, with the two sides still at an impasse. Greek
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras balked at deeper austerity cuts to the Greek
economy, cuts that are a prerequisite for further help from Berlin and
Brussels.
