Live In A Country Run By Idiots If.... Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/08/2015
We truly live in a country run by idiots. The contradictions
between common sense and government actions are just too many to have happened
by accident or chance. But perhaps the leaders are not the idiots. Maybe
the people tolerating such leaders and laws are the true idiots.

Collapse Was a Reversion to the Mean… Who's Next? . Posted by : Phoenix Capital... 08/08/2015
In simple terms, Greece from 2003-2010 was an economic boom
driven by incomes, which were in turn driven by cheap debt NOT real
organic growth. Thus, the collapse in GDP was yet another...

The
$12 Trillion Fat Finger: How A "Glitch" Nearly Crashed The Global
Financial System - A True Story. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 08/08/2015
... in under a minute, the hateful script had taken
offline the entire system in much the same manner as chucking a spanner into a
running engine might stop a car. The databases, as always, were flushing
their precious data onto many different disks as this happened, so massive,
irreversible data corruption occurred. That was it, the biggest computer
system in the bank, maybe even the world, was down. And it wasn't coming
back up again quickly. At the time this failure occurred there was more than
$12 TRILLION of trades at various stages of the settlement process in
the system. This represented around 20% of ALL trades on the global
stock market.

The
Commodity Crash Is "A Canary In The Coal Mine For The Global Economy".
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/08/2015
"This is the big concern because we keep on thinking
that lower energy prices are somehow good for the economy. That can't be,
because energy prices or commodity prices in general don't drive economic
growth. Economic growth drives commodity prices. So there are a lot
of telltales out there that this drop in oil prices, this drop industrial metal
prices, this is not good. It's a canary in the coal mine that something is not
right in the global economy. And that is a concern for us all."

“In spite of all the rhetoric, we will go deeper in debt,
the Fed will print more money, and the value of the dollar will continue to
plummet.” - Ron Paul
Never in history have the economic and political structures
been so manipulated by those who are responsible for their safekeeping; never
has so much been at stake, in so many countries, and facing collapse, all
at the same time.

Flushing
Cash Into The Casino - The Media Stock Swoon Shows That It Works Until It
Doesn't. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 08/08/2015
During the most recent quarter debt issuance by US companies
reached an all-time high, raising a question as to why companies still
need to borrow so much after selling $7 trillion of U.S. debt securities since
2008. This weeks S&P Media index swoon leaves no doubt as to the
answer. Companies have not been borrowing to grow; they have been borrowing
in order to flush cash into the casino. Charles Ponzi once had a scheme
that was not essentially different. Yes, and it worked until it didn’t.

The
Unseen Consequences of Zero-Interest-Rate Policy. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 08/08/2015
"But an increase in the quantity of money and
fiduciary media will not enrich the world... Expansion of circulation
credit does lead to a boom at first, it is true, but sooner or later this boom
is bound to crash and bring about a new depression. Only apparent and temporary
relief can be won by tricks of banking and currency. In the long run they
must lead to an all the more profound catastrophe."
