TAX BILL THAT REPEALS OIL EXPORT BAN"They’re kind of pulling a
Patriot Act." When Obama signs the $1.1 trillion Spending Bill in
a few hours, as he will, it will be official: the second Patriot Act will
become the law, and with it what little online privacy US citizens may have
had, will be gone. www.zerohedge

export & the elimination of privacy for US citizen. The taxes were done yesterday

"It's
Hot Out There" - Here's Why In One Visualization. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 12/18/2015
"It's not just warm, but very warm,"
exclaims one east coast ski resort owner, adding "I can’t remember
it ever being like this here." But why? www.zerohedge

As
WSJ reports, two weather occurrences - the Arctic Oscillation and
El Niño - are combining to shake up temperatures from coast to
coast in the U.S., bringing springlike conditions to the Northeast for much of
this month and leaving parts of the West colder and wetter than usual.
Typically this time of year, Arctic Oscillation would
bring cold air to the Eastern U.S., bringing temperatures down. But so far
this year, the oscillation has stayed much farther north, allowing warm air
from the south to fill the void, said Mike Halpert, deputy director of the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s climate prediction center.
The other factor is El Niño, a periodic climate cycle
in which sea surface temperatures over the eastern Pacific become warmer than
usual. The effects from changes in Arctic Oscillations generally last only a
few weeks, but the balmy weather in the Northeast could continue because of the
El Niño effect, experts say.
El Niños push the subtropical and polar jet streams, which
help define weather around the world, to the north. The result is that the
southern U.S. gets rain that normally falls in Central and South America, while
the Northeast and Midwest get a reprieve from winter as the polar jet stream is
pushed up into Canada.
“If people are nervous, they should be nervous.”
The current El Niño is on track to rank among the top
three strongest since record-keeping began in 1950, according to federal
climatologists.
And since every failure of central planning to achieve its seasonally-adjusted
economic targets must be blamed on something, even something as ridiculous
as the weather, regardless if it is "too cold" like in the past two
years, or "too hot", now we know why Q4 GDP will be crap!

“However, considering Kolanovic' track record of hinting at
key risk inflection risk, it is quite likely that whatever the ultimate closing

soon have an "August 24" type event.”

sudden speed-acceleration on a public bus is not normal that because inertia
people are moved behind .. until it comes a “new normality” ?. However, Let’s take a look at such “move behind”
depicted with Bloomberg charts and see if they are factors predicting a huge recession in the near future:.. Here
the list provided in this art… ]
1-the sudden acceleration of thursday .. called “the bloodbath.”:

2-With S&P 500 Futures breaking the 2,000 level
after-hours... (possible contraction up to March 16)
3- Post-Yellen, bonds are outperforming notably.
4- Post-Fed... not exactly confidence-inspiring... “See:
rate-hikes are awesome”
5- The Dow is down 700 points from post-Yellen
exuberance... Nasdaq broke 5,000; Dow nears 17,000; and S&P 2,000 was
defended with valor...
6- Leaving everything Red for the week...
7- Trannies are down 18% YoY... the fastest accelerating
drop since Lehman...
8- FANGs all red post-Fed...
9- Stocks caught down to credit markets - as credit
crashes...
10- Equities still have a long way to go... S&P 500..
Leveraged loans down
11- Treasury yields (most notably the longer-end) ripped
lower after the Fed... but remain higher on the week...
12- With a dramatic "policy error" style flattening
of the yield curve...UST 2s30s
13- The USDollar rose over 1% on the week but the last 24
hours has seen some fading as carry trades were unwound en masse, driving JPY
higher..
14- Commodities were very mixed this week. Silver, gold,
and copper surged today
15- Silver's best day in 11 weeks...
16- Crude collapsed to fresh cycle lows...
[ Are these moves out of the
common volatility-behavior in current market?..
Do they predict a huge recession in the near future?.. Are they related
to structural bases? ..Let the economists respond these questions..] .

House Passes $1.15 Trillion Spending Bill: Here Is What's In It. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/18/2015
“Moments ago, the House of Representatives just passed the
$1.15 trillion spending bill that includes a $680 billion package of tax-break
extensions, in a 316 to 113 vote, and will now move to the Senate, where its
passage is likewise assured and will be signed by the president over the next
few days. For those wondering what are the main components of the spending
bill, here is a quick summary.” www.zerohedge.com

financistas de la especulación predatoria y el vulture capital (capital buitre)
listos para recibir su gran tajada de esta torta y viajar a las periferias a
ofrecer “salvatajes” .. Sálvese de ellos quien pueda y mejor si se UNEN y
crean alianzas para sobrevivir este shock .. Es más letal que la invasión de
tropas USA al mundo. .. Este es un fenómeno natural del sistema neoliberal,
dicen los que aplauden la “nueva normalidad”.. Otros, los más cautos
economistas, saben que esto no va a
durar mucho .. y como en todo Sunami.. sus aguas sucias se retiraran de las
playas .. dejando solo destrucciones y miserias
para los de abajo. .. Se acusara a los arribistas
y entonces el cambio de sistema vendrá con
más fuerza a nivel mundial. .. Es inevitable que eso empiece a ocurrir el año
que viene. ]

Dow
Dumps 500 Points From Post-Yellen Highs Amid "Policy Error" Fears.
S- by Tyler Durden on 12/18/15
“Just in case yesterday's weakness was mistaken for
"well, it's just stabilizing before the next leg higher," US equity
markets are pooping the bed this morning with The Dow down over 500
points from its post-Yellen highs, FANGs plunging red, credit collapsing, and
bond yields slumping. Between quad-witching, Fed policy error concerns,
and the utter failure of the Bank of Japan's efforts to save the world, global
stocks and bonds are flashing red warnings for the end of centrally planned
markets.” www.zerohedge
..
[ Does the postman
came late.. when the widow was crying the suicide of her husband?. The fact is:
There are severe policy errors of structural character –as we
denounced yesterday- and they are becoming worse when days pass .. The feed
back & feed forward are always slow .. Yellen said that they are going to
be corrected asap, once they show up .. but they are related to over-production
derived from Tech advances on the one hand, and the lower purchasing power of
people due to salaries-stagnation, on the other.. Neither manufacture
production, nor “millennial-unemployment
will be solve with this monetary policies.. If we add to this the
effects on Debt and trade misbalances.. we can’t see nothing good for common
people .. only more misery for them inside and outside ..The worse will be the plundering
from the vulture capital abroad.. That
will isolate the US from the rest of the world.. Easy to predict huge waves of
social REV .. They will break up inside
& outside. .. Me pregunto si entonces Volveremos
a cantar la Internacional Socialista como la cantaron Marx y Bakunin y mas tarde Lenin y Trotsky en 1917. Tambien la canto la americana Emma Goldman quien fue a visitar a los bolcheviques, llevando el saludo de Saco y Vanzeti, los bravos sindicalistas de America que luego fueron asesinados y a quienes se debe la conquista de las 8 horas de trabajo diarias, esa que todo el mundo celebra el 1ro de Mayo, menos este pais en el que se logro esa conquista ?.. Podremos rescatar esa nuestra historia? .. SI lo creo.. es muy posible! .. ahora que se inicia la caida final del sistema capitalista y su inmundia neoliberal. ]

“While correlation is not causation, one would have to be an
ignorant unicorn-worshipper to believe that a collapse in America's
manufacturing would not have some follow-through. Following the crash in
Manufacturing, Markit reported America's Services economy massively missed
expectations and plunged to 53.7, lowest since Dec 2014. New orders plunged
to the lowest since January 2015 and employment tumbled. As Markit reports,
this is "disappointing news for an economy
which has seen the first US interest rate
hike for almost a decade." www.zerohedge.com

Not since December 2013 have Canadian Consumer Prices
dropped by such a large amount. November CPI dropped 0.3% MoM,
dramatically worse than expected to the largest drop since Dec 2013.
The largest YoY drop in Canadian CPI, amid a surge in inventories relative to a

first time since August 2003. www.zerohedge.com
