WHAT DO THE EXPERTS THINK NOW?
David
Rosenberg reminded us earlier today courtesy of Bob Farrell's Rule
#9, "When
all the experts and forecasts agree, something else is going to happen."
What happened was a
dramatic surge in the market because
Trump was elected, as his victory unleash the hope of massive fiscal
stimulus, something none of the experts predicted would happen.
Which brings us to the latest garthering of experts.
Over the weekend. Barron's
held its latest annual strategist roundtable. The article explaining
their outlook starts, appropriately enough, with: "Nobody saw it coming." And it wasn't just the Trump victory.
As the following chart from Barron's notes, 2016 was a year of surprises, which
however after an initial scare, were mostly to the upside, even as the news
kept getting progressively worse: See image at: http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user5/imageroot/2016/11/29/year%20of%20surprises_0.jpg

The countdown has started as the demise of the great U.S. shale gas
industry has begun. This will have a disastrous impact on
the U.S. economy as shale gas production declines in a big way. Unfortunately, very few Americans understand how sickly the domestic shale gas industry truly is, because
they have been brainwashed to
believe the United States is heading towards energy independence.

POLITICS
"Michelle,
you may not realize it, but Americans rejected you and everything you stand for. They know what hope is. Hope is when people, 30,000 at a time, stand in line, in the
cold, with their children, hoping to get the glimpse of a man they think can
change the course of their lives from the downward spiral that you and
"Mr. Hope & Change" have put them on."

The corporate owned media and their partners in government are working
overtime to spread the 'fake news' meme. This meme is
designed to limit, and
ultimately destroy, the
independent and alternative media by
censoring anti-establishment viewpoints.

While Obama vowed on Friday to “send a clear
message to Russia” as both a punishment and a deterrent to alleged Russian
hacking of the US presidential elections, a problem has emerged: some of the
options were rejected as ineffective, others as too risky.

his victory & create a huge Constit chaos in USA
At this point it's looking more and more likely that the coup attempted by Harvard's Larry
Lessig will fail when the Electoral College votes tomorrow. That
said, anything is possible and, as such, here are a couple of things you should
be on the look out for as electors get set to cast their ballots.
…
With even Harvard's Larry Lessig admitting that his efforts to
flip the Electoral College against Trump have failed miserably (see "Harvard
Professor Admits His Efforts To Turn Electoral College Against Trump Have
Failed Miserably"), it's a near certainty that
Trump will, in fact, be elected President when the Electoral College casts
their votes tomorrow.
That said, there could always be surprises and, as such, The
Hill has published a list of five things you should keep an eye on as
electors get set to cast their ballots. First, here is how the 538
electors should cast their ballots if they
all strictly follow the will of the voters in their respective states.
See image at: http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user230519/imageroot/2016/12/17/2016.12.18%20-%20EC%201_0.JPG
That said, we know
that at least one Texas elector, Chris
Suprun, has vowed to go rogue tomorrow and anxious eyes will be
waiting to see if anyone decides to join him.
There’s
no evidence of a widespread number of Republican defections—just one
Republican elector from Texas has gone public with plans to break from Trump.
But there hasn’t been an election in which more than one elector jumped
ship for reasons other than the death of a candidate since 1836, according to
the nonprofit Fair Vote. So a
defection by even one more Republican elector would make history.
---
In theory, a unified front of the 232
Democrats could join with 38 Republicans [defectors] to elect an
alternative president. But in
practice, the anti-Trump electors will be lucky if more
than a dozen Democrats break.
With 29 states and
the District of Columbia binding their electors by law, it will also be interesting to see if anyone in those states choose to
defect, and if so, what penalties will be levied upon them.
Finally, when all the voting is said and done, all eyes will
be watching how the candidates and their respective parties react. Will
Trump launch a massive tweet storm blasting "faithless electors"
and/or will Democrats finally tone down the "Russian hacking"
rhetoric and calls to scrap the Electoral College system? Somehow we suspect that -finally admitting they ran a failed candidate
that was doomed to lose from the start- is not a viable alternative for the
talking heads of the leftist media...so we're somewhat less than
hopeful.

WORLD ISSUES and ME
SINOPHOBIA GAME:
With
the Yuan at its weakest against the Dollar since May 2008, it's becoming harder
and harder (and more and more expensive) for China to hide/defend its
devaluation strategy (CNH down over 13% since the 'one-off' Aug
2015 devaluation)... "It’s not normal for this to be taking place.” Simply
put, the rate spikes and contorted yield curves are
symptoms of a dysfunctional,
manipulated market.

WASHINGTON BLOG
Posted on December 18, 2016 by Carl Herman
President Obama spoke Friday blaming “domestic
propagandists” for “fake news,” and blaming Russia for “hacking” into the
DNC’s e-mails with “intent” of Trump becoming President. The irony is that
Obama and the CIA present no evidence of Russian involvement
in US “elections” that are fake enough to allow
Clinton to steal the primary from Bernie Sanders, and that Obama lies by
omission that such a CIA alleged “leak” would be a crime of domestic espionage
that as President he is sworn to prosecute.
This “official”
propaganda may be a move to remove Trump (and here), or at least intimidate him to stay on script for .01%
interests of ongoing US rogue state empire.
