Finally we leave you with this...from Rhino Trading's
Michael Block who offers the following perspecitve on why European stocks
spiked the most since the Trump victory last month (largley a black swan
event), courtesy
of Barron's:
…[Apparently] the pattern of
fading a potential crisis and then scrambling to cover and get long when
everyone takes a breath and realizes that this time is not the apocalypse
either still holds more than ever. I can’t justify any
of this. The lesson investors and traders are getting is that everything is a
buying opportunity and you need to not miss the boat. Brexit? Bullish. Trump
winning the election? Bullish. Italy saying no to the referendum and the Prime
Minister handing in his resignation? Bullish. Heck, all we need is a
coup d’etat in India and the entire Belgian banking system to go kablooey and
the S&P 500 will be at 3,000 by Christmas Eve.

Will “Trumponomics”
change the course of the U.S. economy? We certainly hope so. It will be better for

must understand the difference between a “narrative-driven” advance and
one driven by strengthening fundamentals. The
first is short-term and leads to bad outcomes. The other isn’t, and doesn’t.

Despite a small rise MoM, The Fed's own Labor
Market Conditions Index has now deteriorated year-over-year for 5 straight
months, despite significant upward revisions over the last 6

fragile despite the ostensible robustness of the labor market."

After spiking to

Oct 2015 (despite a drop in new orders).

With celebrations
continuing at the site of the Dakota Access Pipeline protest (following

it appears the Trump administration has very different

for the pipeline (not
to do with his investments), Reuters
reports a Trump advisory group proposes the politically explosive idea of putting
oil-rich Indian reservation lands into provate ownership.

Posted on December 5, 2016 by Charles

How would you describe the social
mood of the nation and world? Would anti-Establishment, anti-status
quo, and anti-globalization be a good start? How
about choking on fast-rising debt? Would stagnant growth,
stagnant wages be a fair description? Or how about rising
wealth/income inequality? Wouldn’t rising disunity and political
polarization be accurate?
These are all characteristics of
the long-wave social-economic cycle that is entering thedisintegrative (winter)
phase. Souring social mood, loss of purchasing power, stagnating
wages, rising inequality, devaluing currencies, rising debt, political
polarization and elite disunity are all manifestations of this phase.
I have covered the cyclical
nature of human social orders many times, most recently inWe’ve
Entered an Era of Rising Instability and Uncertainty (July 18, 2016)
Now Is
the Winter of our Discontent: Our Era of Rising Discord (November 16,
2016)
Historians David
Hackett Fischer (The Great
Wave: Price Revolutions and the Rhythm of History) and Peter Turchin (Ages of Discord) have assembled
data and models for these long-term cycles.
Based on the history painstakingly assembled by Fischer and
Turchin we can anticipate:
— Ever higher prices
for what I call the FEW Essentials: food, energy and water.
— Ever larger
government deficits which end in bankruptcy/repudiation of debts/new issue of
currency.

Con Trump y Hillary el pueblo perdió.
Ambos implementaron el fraude oligárquico de los super-Packs (compra de
elecciones) y los super-delegados
(cronyism descarado). Ademas de leyes que entronizan el sistema dualista y excluyen a quien no es Dem or GOP. Jill
Stain los está acusando con el recuento de votos, en el afán de dotar al pueblo
de energía Rev anti-sistema. Ella logro en 7 dias lo que no se pudo probar en 7
meses de fraudes : denunciar el sistema
como obsoleto y preparar al pueblo para la Rev anti-fascista que se avecina:

hacer allí, solo los usan para el chantaje e intimidación “diplomática”, de lo
que se ríen los aliados de RU.

----

[[
Aquí mi versión
del tema: un resumen de : www.elblogsalmon.com
Hay
2 variables que miden el crecimiento de la Econ mundial: La demanda agregada
–DA- y la oferta agregada -OA-.
Los indicadores del DA son 4: (validos también para la OA, pero a la inversa).
A-
la capacidad de compra del consumidor interno y externo (C): este es uno de los grandes problemas
del plan de Trump: los bienes y servicios que el consumidor puede comprar
dependen de los precios (si son altos la demanda baja y a la inversa). No hay modo de garantizar precios estables si
ya se está iniciando ataques infundados contra China (el principal comprador y
vendedor de bienes y servicios comerciales) . El acuerdo petrolero tampoco
garantiza precios bajos y alta DA. Los problemas geopolíticos (guerras
estúpidas que creamos) tampoco dan contexto para precios estables- ;
B- la inversión empresarial (I) Las empresas invierten en lo que da
mas beneficios y esto se calcula por la diferencia entre ingresos y gastos. Si
los costos de producción o gastos en labor y tecnología suben, los beneficios
empresariales bajan. Significa esto que
la expectativa empresarial varia según la coyuntura Econ y polit del país (las
guerras y las crisis econ mundiales afectan la confianza o expectativa
empresarial). Por tanto esto es muy difícil predecir si ya estamos hablando de guerra comercial
con China y su aliado RU. Si se
evita esos conflictos es posible lograr un nivel medio de precios y dar
estabilidad y confianza al inversor. Por tanto, todo depende de los costos de producción, y de un nivel
medio de precios .
C- El Gasto Publico (en este caso el
estímulo fiscal que da el Estado que si es billonario (G) y ya viene alentando la inversión empresarial. Todos quieren su presa
del pavo de billones que ya anuncio Trump.
D- la tasa importación vs
exportación (X-M), si seguimos exportando armas y guerras, nuestra
balanza comercial va a ser siempre negativa por la inestabilidad de precios que
eso provoca. Urge
diversificar la exportación y competir en carrera de carros no poluter de los
europeos y que ya anuncio RU y China también. Urge ingresar a nuevas Tech que
vayan mas allá de la energía contaminante: petróleo.
La Oferta agregada OA, es decir, la
cantidad y calidad de bienes y servicios que las empresas están dispuestas a
vender dependen
también del nivel medio de precios y de
los costos de producción y las expectativas empresariales. Mas sobre este tema lo puede encontrar en:
www.elblogsalmon.com
El debate sobre este tema ya se inició en el
USA y hay dos art que vale la pena leer: el de Felstein,
un republicano de la era de Bush que no cree que el Plan de Trump va a funcionar,
pero podría. Y el otro, Stockman, es un
economista anti-sistema que ya habla del fracaso de la Rev que ofrecio Trump.
