SEPT 17 15 SIT EC y POL

SEPT 17 15 SIT EC y POL



First we had “too big to fail”. Then came “too big to jail”. Now, finally, the U.S. Department of “Justice” is letting us know what it really thinks: U.S. Big Banks simply have a license to steal.


[ The license to steal did not work today. China stopped & Yellen postponed.  They will come back, of course, bad habits are not abolished by decree. .. Now-on, every State-nation is in ALERT .. and new regional currency will emerge .. one in South America  (yuan-latino?) .. unless  the IMF launches a new world currency for trade and bank deposits that includes yuan & ruble among other “big” currencies ..in terms of trade & gold ]

As we have maintained continuously, rate hike talk from the Fed is just a bluff to disguise its inability to tighten, as even small increases could be sufficient to prick the biggest bubble it has ever inflated. … A rate hike is supposed to be a signal that the economy has a clean bill of health. But as the patient fails to recover, another dose of QE will be just what the doctor orders.

[ Chinese “Opium dreams” ? ...  Dependency on evil addictions requires both, an investigation of the damage caused by such habits on the national economy (tax-evasion included), AND  immediate strait jacket while he gets human-blood transfusion in a psych clinic or in a VET clinic .. depending on degree of degradation.  Is it true that these animals don’t fit in common prisons (“to big to jail”)? .. Then get a big cage and placed in a Zoo  ]

 China Cracks Down On Aggressive-Buying By "Sinister Stock Squads". Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2015  [ almost good info .. though  bad interpretation ]

Chinese stocks are extending losses after last night's late tumble, as ironically, China's securities regulator has uncovered a number of market manipulators who boosted prices of some stocks to sky-high levels during the peak of the bull market, attracting numerous followers who have suffered heavy losses in the recent market crash. The PBOC strengthened the Yuan fix for the 2nd day in a row (by the most in 2 weeks)http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-09-17/japanese-stocksusdjpy-plunge-china-cracks-down-aggressive-buying-sinister-stock-squa

War Is The Health Of The State - Protecting Yourself From "Financial Tyranny". Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2015  [ The title is misguiding .. the content is OK  ]

Without a monetary system that creates currency out of thin air, most of the wars that we have had and still have would simply not be financeable. This system is controlled by a few, who change the rules to their own benefit. And as we have seen they use their privileges to finance wars and to bribe politicians. By holding your wealth in precious metals you are rejecting the current system and also protecting yourself from “financial tyranny”. This includes: capital controls, expropriation, bail-ins, bailouts, negative interest rates, market manipulation on a wide scale and massive paper currency fluctuations.

[ War is today the most unhealthy business of the FED (“1yr, 6,700 airstrikes & $4bn after Obama vowed to ‘destroy’ ISIS, jihadists still on offensive” & $5 Mll to train one mercenary to send it to support ISIS in Syria.. Is this a heatthy  & ethical business?  See “America’s Phony War on the ISIS” in Global Research).  Today we are in a financial war against emerging economies .. it was averted by Ms Yellen.. the rulers of the casino economy wanted the FED support for their nasty speculation .. like in military wars,  the rich people do not send their children to war .. they sacrifice the life of common American for their benefit.. In the financial war happens the same, they do not want also to put their own capital at risk … they want FED money: QEs & bailouts.. The Fact is that Ms. Yellen save their life & their capital in this financial war condemned to fail ]

Yellen Responds To Allegations The Fed Is Responsible For America's Record Wealth Gap. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2015  [ FACT: INEQUALITY  EXIST & IS WORSE THAN EVER ]

"There have been a number of studies that have been done recently that have tried to take account of many different ways in which monetary policy acting through different parts of the transmission mechanism affect inequality, and there's a lot of guesswork involved, and different analyses can come up with different things. But a pretty recent paper that's quite comprehensive concludes that the -- that Fed policy has not exacerbated income inequality." [ Does The FED allowed or not?  ]

This Is What Yellen Said About Negative Rates Coming To The US. S-by Tyler Durden on 09/17/15
[ The license to steal did work this  time… This time America win… thanks a lot Ms. Yellen ]

"I don’t expect that we’re going to be in a path of providing additional accommodation. But if the outlook were to change in a way that most of my colleagues and I do not expect, and we found ourselves with a weak economy that needed additional stimulus, we would look at all of our available tools. And that would be something that we would evaluate in that kind of context."

[ Not Hiking rates is what emerging markets need it …. I guess Ms. Yellen got sense on the reaction of China.. At mid-night they overvalue yuan, print it like crazy and prohibited the selling of Chinese stock from foreign companies .. It was exactly the plan in 3 big countries of Latin America.. .. The license to steal their resources was stop by China.. Yellen learn that the license to steal was wrong ]

[ What the greedy sharks wanted from Yellen:  ]
Why The Fed Should Raise Rates Now
Now that U.S. stock markets have experienced their first 10 percent correction since 2011, investors are again looking to the Federal Reserve to bail them out.

How did our financial system weaken to the point where a quarter of a percent increase in rates is more than it can handle?

This set the table for the subprime housing debt mess in a way that neither Greenspan nor his successor, Ben Bernanke, could foresee. 

The trigger is likely to be the hundreds of billions of dollars worth of bad debt in the energy sector -- loans that were made to finance the fracking frenzy. .. That took years to correct, as desperate companies and governments kept producing more crude. 

Whatever the catalyst, a handful of indicators suggest that since the beginning of this year, the U.S. equity market has been significantly overvalued.

Perhaps the most disturbing statistic is that American corporations have announced dividends and share buybacks for this year that total more than a trillion dollars -- more than all their projected profits combined. 

Another area for concern is the burgeoning private market for investments, where companies are finding it relatively easy to raise capital.

Fixed-income investors are subsidizing irresponsible lending, and getting too little return for it.

If the Taylor Rule -- a practical recommendation on setting nominal interest rates -- were taken more seriously, the Fed would have lifted overnight rates back up to the 2.5 percent range years ago. 

So let's end the era of the "Greenspan put" and Bernanke's quantitative easing, and return to basics. The Fed should raise rates 0.25 percent this September and 0.50 percent thereafter. Already this century, the Fed has helped enable two bubbles that resulted in equity corrections of 40 percent and 50 percent. Investors would be wise to remember that if the Fed doesn't raise rates now.

Winners And Losers From A Fed Rate Hike. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2015 - 08:14

Here is the quick snapshot of the winners and losers if today the Fed tightens (in the process crushing another battalion of FF/Eurodollar traders who still see the probability of a tightening cycle starting today at under one-third).  See image URL:


Logically, if the Fed does not tighten, just flip the winner and loser columns.

The long awaited day is finally here by which we, of course, mean the day when nobody has any idea what the Fed will do, the Fed included. Putting today in perspective, there have been just about 700 rate cuts globally in the 3,367 days since the last Fed rate hike on June 29, 2006, while central banks have bought $15 trillion in assets, and vast portions of the world are now in negative interest rate territory.
“Experts” and “pundits” haven’t reached a consensus either: Goldman Sachs, the World Bank, IMF, and people like Larry Summers are imploring the Fed to retain ZIRP for a little while longer while individuals such as Axel Weber (former Bundesbank head and current UBS chairman), Haruhiko Kuroda, the G-20, and a bunch of EM central bankers all want to see liftoff occur.

The Fed itself is not sure what to do: according to many a hawkish move would be not to hike but layer the statement with many caveats how strong the economy is (even as the Fed again chickens out) while the dovish thing would be a "one and done" rate hike with the Fed potentially unleashing a recession-inducing curve inversion.

One thing that is certain is that while the Fed fiddles, China's market manipulators continue to burn in ever more spectacular fashion, and while yesterday the SHCOMP entertained Chinese market watchers with a tremendous surge in the last hour of trading, today it was the opposite, when the Shanghai Composite Index fell 2.1% to close at sessions low at 3,086.06, sinking in final 15 minutes after gaining as much as 1.7% on light volume.

With a complex and disaster-prone system of interdependence causing social strife and chaos, why not just simplify everything with a global currency and perhaps even global governance?The elites will squeeze the collapse for all it’s worth if they can, and a Fed rate hike may be exactly what they need to begin the final descent.

The evening started with disappointing Japanese trade data cross the board - weakest imports, exports, and trade balance in 6 months - which follows the largest selling of Japanese stocks by foreigners ever. China opened with the first rise in margin debt in 6 days,stocks were lower  in the pre-open after last night's epic farce ramp. PBOC strengthened the Yuan fix modestly and also injected another CNY 40 billion.
