The Administrative Office of
the U.S. Courts recently reported that bankruptcy filings between April and
June hit a four-year high. Consumer bankruptcies rose 21 percent while
business bankruptcies increased eight percent. The list of corporate
bankruptcies over the last couple of years includes big names like Lehman
Brothers, Washington Mutual, and GM. And financial institutions like Bank
of America (NYSE: BAC), Citigroup (NYSE: C), Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC)
received billions of dollars through the federal government's Troubled
Asset Relief Program. Should investors add the U.S. government to that list
of big name bankruptcies? I recently asked Boston University economics
professor Lawrence Kotlikoff, author of !"

Mac Greer: Larry, I noticed the headline or the title of a recent article that
you wrote,
!$
%*
+
h. So with that in mind,
what is your take on the economy these days?
Larry Kotlikoff: Well there is a lot of uncertainty, as rightfully there should
be. We have seen the financial sector implode basically because of the
systematic production and sale of trillions of dollars of fraudulent
securities under the cover of proprietary information, so nobody really had
the ability to look inside big companies like Bear Sterns or Merrill Lynch to
see exactly what they owned or owed. That problem remains today, even
with the passage of Dodd-Frank. There is no requirement that the financial
industry come clean with respect to what it is doing with our money, so
every major financial player says you can't see what we are doing because
we have the Midas touch. We are going to beat the market, and if we show
you, everybody will see our secret formula for making you a mint. As a
result, they have a great cover to produce fraudulent securities. And then
when there is a sniff of fraud, one can easily presume that everything they
are doing is fraudulent, which may not at all be the case. And then there is
a run against those institutions as we saw with Bear Sterns and Lehman
Brothers and all the other ones because of the perception that so much of
their holdings were fraudulent and that their reporting was fraudulent. And
of course the rating companies and the regulators and the boards of
directors and the members of Congress were all, in effect, in bed with each
other to achieve this result. I don't see anything that has fundamentally
changed, so that is one major area of fragility. We could have another
meltdown in the financial market tomorrow because as Dick Fuld [Lehman
former CEO] said, he claims that their balance sheet was just fine and that
this was all just a panic, it was not connected with any facts. Well, he said
that every institution on Wall Street --- Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS), JP
Morgan (NYSE: JPM) -- could have experienced the same thing. His
concern about this happening to other companies is well taken. So we have
a financial system that is set up to fail again, and we have a fiscal situation
which is a complete and dire mess. It could lead to a financial panic that
could lead to a much bigger meltdown of the financial system than we have
seen.
Greer: Is the U.S. bankrupt?
Kotlikoff: Bankruptcy means not being able to pay your future bills. If you
can't pay your current bills, your creditors are already after you so you
already are bankrupt. If you can't pay your future bills, that really is the
operational definition of going bankrupt or being bankrupt. The U.S.
government can't pay its future bills. These bills, in total, in present value,
exceed the revenues by $202 trillion. This is based on taking the data
projected by CBO (Congressional Budget Office) back on June 26 of this
year, when they put out their alternative fiscal scenario, which is their best
long-term projection of government spending, including servicing the
official debt, and government revenues. And if you present value the
differential between spending and revenues, including extrapolating
beyond their projection which is important to do, you get a fiscal gap of
$202 trillion. To come up with $202 trillion in present value, you'd have to
immediately and permanently double all taxes we have. You'd have to do it
immediately. We're talking here about running a 5% GDP surplus this year
instead of running a 9% deficit. So I don't see that happening. We have to
cut spending or we have to print money. Either way you're cutting
spending so either way you're, in effect, reining in spending promises. And
that suits my definition of bankruptcy. And I think there are ways of cutting
spending and getting our fiscal house in order but we need to engage in
radical surgery here and not putting on the band-aid that this
administration is so fond of.
Greer: One of our Motley Fool writers recently interviewed Euro Pacific
Capital President Peter Schiff. In 2006, he was predicting the economic
downturn, and he now says that we are, "In the early stages of a
depression now. It is going to be a horrific experience for average
Americans who are going to watch their standard of living plunge." Do you
agree?
Kotlikoff: Well, this has been a depression so far for millions of Americans.
It didn't have to happen. It is really man-made. We have the same physical
capital and human capital sitting here in place. We don't have to stay in a
depressed state. The problem is that things are not coordinated. We don't
have buyers optimistic about getting paid salaries and we don't have
sellers optimistic about being able to find buyers, so everybody is kind of
sitting on their hands. We can have some, a bunch of KISS's, which are
"keep it simple, stupid" solutions to our problems, and lots of people
throughout the country realize this, that we need to fix things
fundamentally. We can't do it with 2,000 page bills that make bureaucratic
structures that are basically clogging up our economic arteries, even more
bureaucratic«

MARKET DIRECTION
Stocks end lower as the major indexes give up early-session gains.
Investors were initially charged, following favorable jobless claims data,
but couldn't shake bearish concerns that have bedeviled the market over
the past couple of weeks.
Stocks were buoyed by a decline in the number of people filing first-time
claims for unemployment benefits by 31,000 to 473,000 in the latest week. It
was the first decline in a month, according to Labor Department data.
Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had expected initial claims to drop
to 490,000 in the week ended Aug 21.
The less-volatile four-week average of initial claims rose 3,250 to 486,750.
Altogether, 10.2 million people were collecting some type of unemployment
benefits in the week ended Aug. 7, up from 9.9 million.
Also, mortgage rates continued to skid, falling to 4.36% this week, the
lowest rate on a 30-year fixed loan in decades, according to Freddie Mac.
The rate was 4.42% last week and has now declined for nine of the last 10
weeks.
Deal news dominated the tape, and topping the headlines, 3PAR (PAR)
accepted Dell's (DELL) increased offer to acquire the storage leader for
$24.30 per share in cash, or approximately $1.6 billion, net of PAR's cash.
The deal is expected to close before the end of the year. Based on current
estimates, the transaction is expected to be accretive to DELL's non-GAAP
earnings by its Fiscal Year 2012.
After the bell, H-P (HPQ) countered with a revised $27 a share bid.
Cisco Systems (CSCO) is buying privately held ExtendMedia for an
undisclosed sum. ExtendMedia will become a core component of Cisco's
next-generation video architecture, the company said. The transaction is
expected to close in the first half of Cisco's fiscal 2011.
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) will pay an undisclosed sum to buy Stratavia, a
privately held database technology company based in Denver. H-P says the
acquisition will strengthen the HP Software and Solutions portfolio, adding
deployment, configuration and management solutions for enterprise
databases, middleware and packaged applications.
Lastly, Novartis (NVS) is moving ahead with a contentious buyout of Alcon
(ACL) after completing its acquisition of stock from Nestle, according to a
Reuters report.

says that more quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve is likely to
trigger ³an abrupt collapse in the foreign exchange value of the U.S.
dollar´. Hussman offers something of a primer on exchange rates, and
concludes by saying this: ³The policy of quantitative easing is likely to
force a large adjustment on the U.S. dollar because the Federal Reserve is
choosing to lay a heavier hand on the Treasury bond market than would
result from economic conditions alone,´ he says. ³The resulting shift in
interest rates and long-term inflation prospects combine to dramatically
reduce the attractiveness of the U.S. dollar. A significant and relatively
abrupt devaluation is then required, in an amount sufficient to set up
expectations of a U.S. dollar appreciation over time.´ Special Offer: People

Pre-Crime Technology To Be Used In Washington D.C. %Y0
|
Computers predict what crime will be committed where, by who and when.
Gasoline prices hit 8-month low (Washington Post) [ Strange days indeed.
There was a time not long ago that the same news would engender a
µglass-half-full¶ spin for a fraudulent wall street rallying point. At the same
time, higher oil prices one of those reasons for selling into the bubble.
Today, higher oil prices day to day provide a µglass-half-full¶ spin for a
fraudulent wall street rallying point that drives the oils (stocks) higher. Yes,
that¶s how bad the economy really is. (Not a reference to µStrange Days¶ the
interesting film from that impressive oscar-winning giant (amazon) of a
woman, Kathryn Bigelow, which sported a cast that included Tom Sizemore
which of itself meant strange indeed.) ].
AIG pays back $4 billion of bailout debt (Washington Post) [ Ah, yes. How
endearing. Just goes to show that the hearts of american business are in
the right places. So touching « I¶m sure I¶m not alone in shrugging with a
sense that given america¶s chosen intractable downward path such as this
matters little or none! ]
Obama targets IT contracts (Washington Post) [ And what goals are being
met with the protracted mid-east wars with costs exceeding a trillion other
than defacto bankruptcy of the nation and anti-american sentiment, not to
mention the diversion from the multitude of america¶s domestic problems.
It seems to me that IT would be among the last of items warranting scrutiny
(360 tons of $100¶s flown into Iraq would without scrutiny go right into the
treasury, etc.) , particularly since tech, though over-rated, is probably
america¶s last strength owing to a significant head start and a built- in
language bias, though quickly becoming mere assemblers / distributors of
foreign-made (components) at best.] The White House unveils plans to
review 26 government information-technology projects worth a total of $30
billion as part of an effort to trim back or cancel contracts that aren't
meeting goals.
NATIONAL / WORLD
For Obama, some chances ahead (Washington Post) [ Come on! Wake up!
There are no chances ahead for wobama¶s already failed presidency! He
knows it, the people know it, and even his most ardent blind supporters
know it. One too many b*** s*** stories and broken (campaign) promises.
Delivering a speech, albeit teleprompted, is a far cry from delivering, which
reality most have awaken to. He seems to be incapable of even one original
thought even as the wobamas seem to take umbrage as they are dissed for
self-created lack of approbation ($500 sneakers, spain trip, fiddling while
the nation burns, etc.). What next? The race card? Even as his (in)justice
department had decided to ignore civil rights violations by blacks and
focus only on whites? No! wobama¶s failed presidency is as done as an
over-cooked hard-boiled egg. Empty words just ain¶t enough! ] New
Orleans visit, Iraq speech offer president opportunities to help end a
frustrating summer.]
The following youtube video is well worth the look and explains how and
why the frauds on wall street have gotten away with their devastating fraud
thus far. The frauds on wall street et als should be criminally prosecuted,
jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed. ( UPDATE: MORE CLAIMS OF
RACE BIAS AT JUSTICE... CIVIL RIGHTS PANEL TO PURSUE FED

Lounsbury: µ« Has anything of economic utility resulted? I have not found
it. And counter to the effect of the dot.com collapse, the credit bubble
collapse may not have stripped out some of the speculative income
excesses. Wall Street bonuses are back to pre-crisis levels and there has
been no "claw-back" of ill-gotten gains from the pirates who seized the
economic ship. In fact, the pirates are still in command of the ship and are
still under full sail. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! From my first Treasury
report:
I don't think this created any waves, but I will continue to wail in the
wilderness about how compensation formulas contribute to and compound
the structural problems in our financial system. So, back to the earnings
chart that started this discussion. In view of what has been discussed here
I believe we will find that history, in this instance, will at least rhyme, if not
repeat exactly. Structural economic problems are sufficiently similar for the
two eras that I expect we will see some form of recurrence of events 5 and
6 [Depression] Ǧ

µ«Below we outline the five
criteria (taken from Zero Hedge) that need to be satisfied in order for the
indicator to be triggered. They are:
1. That the daily number of NYSE new 52-Week Highs and the daily
number of new 52-Week Lows must be greater than 2.2% of total
NYSE issues traded that day.
2. That the smaller of these numbers is greater than or equal to 69
(68.772 is 2.2% of 3126). This is not a rule but more like a checksum.
This condition is a function of the 2.2% of the total issues.
3. That the NYSE 10-Week moving average is rising.
4. That the McClellan Oscillator is negative on that same day.
5. That new 52-Week Highs cannot be more than twice the new 52-Week
Lows (however it is fine for new 52-Week Lows to be more than
double new 52-Week Highs).

Here¶s a new piece of the dismally murky puzzle which belies a previous
raison d¶etre for rally: Greek Bonds Slump As Austerity Backfires, Country
Enters ³Death Spiral´, And The Violent End Game Approaches .
Previously, Walmart same store sales were actually down (overseas results
were up), and, think about it. Isn¶t Walmart, as essentially an american
based sales agent of china products a µcontrarian indicator¶ for the the u.s.;
that is , hasn¶t Walmart¶s rise coincided with american main street¶s
demise. Similarly, fraudulent wall street high frequency churn and earn
programmed trade scams among many other frauds as yet unprosecuted
has heralded the death knell for american business and the economy,
generally. Old news at best and, that µnot bad as expected, better than
expected dog don¶t hunt no more¶! µYAHOO [BRIEFING.COM]: « Retailers
were also strong. As a group retailers climbed 1.8%. Discount retail giant
and Dow component 0
.
(WMT 51.02, +0.61) was a solid performer on
the back of in-line earnings and an improved forecast. Home improvement
retailer and fellow Dow component ,Y$ (HD 28.31, +0.93) had a
more positive influence over retailers. It posted better-than-expected
earnings for the latest quarter, but issued a rather mixed forecast. A
smaller-than-expected increase in housing starts during July didn't do
anything to derail the stock this session. Housing starts for July increased
1.7% month-over-month to an annualized rate of 546,000 units, which is
less than the rate of 555,000 units that had been widely anticipated.
Building permits for July fell 3.1% month-over-month to an annualized rate
of 565,000, which is below the rate of 573,000 that had been expectedǦ
But, just a push of the computer programmed trade button and off we go,
reality / valuation / economics be damned. In real security analysis (very
simplified / summarized), as opposed to the continued frauds on wall
street, one must begin with the largest and most significant aggregate (a
simple word picture / analogy: µrising tide lifts all boats¶). If you get this
right, the probabilities in your favor are substantially enhanced. From
there, you want leading industries, and leading companies within said
leading industries (again, larger aggregates then picks, to enhance
probabilities, not guarantees, in your favor). Your time frame, 1-3-5 yrs tops
for projections, (including income statement/EPS, balance sheet, and
applying an appropriate P/E ± a detailed, multi-faceted approach beyond
what could be described in this summary); and, that¶s all they are,
projections. Beyond that time frame, your guess. On fraudulent wall street,
every day, though already discounted in large part (6-8 mos, approx.), the
market spins, churns, and with lightning fast computerized high-frequency
trade programs commissions in huge volumes like no other time in
financial history when real valuation meant something, with no net
economic value added, but very lucrative to the frauds on wall street, which
ultimately is a net detriment to the economy / the nation /and other
industries as we¶ve seen and as described elsewhere on this site and in
these posts http://albertpeia.com . Preposterously, they even sometimes
refer to seasonal factors as if hearing them for the first time and
µexplaining¶ an up move (almost invariably already discounted). Today, they
shrugged off the deepening economic reality despite the election year
frothing / manipulations. This is a global depression. This is a secular bear
market in a global depression. The past up move was a manipulated bull
(s***) cycle in a secular bear market. This has been a typically manipulated
bubble as has preceded the prior crashes with great regularity that the wall
street frauds and insiders commission and sell into. This is a typical wall
street churn and earn pass the hot potato scam / fraud as in prior crashes¶.
This national decline, economic and otherwise, will not end until justice is
served and the wall street frauds et als are criminally prosecuted, jailed,
fined, and disgorgement imposed. ].

When preparing for a bear market (we'll discuss in a moment why we have
been preparing for a bear market), it is prudent to start early. Anyone who
sold their long positions as early as September last year would be in a
better position than the buy-and hold crowd that is still clinging to their
holdings.
By now, even the mainstream media is sensing that something might not
be quite right with the market's performance. However, there is still hope
that the second half of the year will get a lift from positive earning results.
Before you bet your money on that line of reasoning, consider the picture
the media painted days within the April 2010 market top.
April 25, 2010: 'U.S. stocks cheapest since 1990 on analyst estimates' ±
Bloomberg
'Technical Analysts see room to roll' - Wall Street Journal
Over the past two and a half months, the S&P (NYSEArca: SPY - News) and
Dow (NYSEArca: DIA - News) have lost as much as 17%. A 20% loss is
considered the mark of a new bear market. In essence, we are only one bad
day away from the next bear. Of course, throughout the massive bear
market rally from the March 2009 lows, which the ETF Profit Strategy
Newsletter predicted via the March 2, 2009 Trend Change Alert, the
newsletter maintained that it was only a bear market trap which would fool
a majority of investors. On April 16 it stated that 'Most bulls have no clue
why they are bullish except for the fact that they feel the need to play the
momentum game. Sounds like 2000 and 2007 all over again. The message
conveyed by the composite bullishness is unmistakably bearish.'
On May 14, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter predicted that the S&P
(NYSEArca: IVV - News) will fall through the important 1,040 resistance
level. Aside from a small cluster of resistances (one being round number
resistance), a break below 1,040 opened the door wide for significantly
lower prices. We mentioned above that we've been preparing for a
reemerging bear market even before the April highs. Why? Simply put,
stocks are overvalued. How can that be? One of the above headlines read
that U.S. stocks are cheapest since 1990, at least according to analyst
projections. The key word is projections. Analysts project operating
earnings for the S&P to clock in at $94.83 in 2011. This is higher than the
2007 peak of $91.47. That's right, despite record high unemployment, a
European (NYSEArca: VGK - News) debt crisis, a 17% U.S. market
correction, and all the other problems economists expect corporate profits
will exceed their 2007 all-time highs. Does that sound reasonable to you?
Keep in mind that projected earnings are just that - projected. They can and
will change. In fact, analysts have a reputation of following the trend. In
April 2008, analysts predicted earnings of $113. After cutting its forecast to
$53, Goldman Sachs cut its earnings forecast to $40 in March 2009. As we
know today, stocks rallied, and actual 2009 earnings came in at $56.87. The
list goes on, but the simple message is that analysts tend to be overly
optimistic before the fall and overly pessimistic before a rally. Right now
they are overly optimistic. The conclusion is easy.
Even when basing the current P/E ratio on overly optimistic estimates, it is
still far away from the P/E ratios seen at historic market bottoms. The same
holds true for dividend yields. A look at various valuation measures shows
that the market is overvalued by much more than just 10 or 20%. The ETF
Profit Strategy Newsletter provides a detailed analysis of four valuation
metrics with a near spotless track record of historic accuracyǦ

a bleaker diagnosis for the economy: an inflationary depression. My take:
This is a global depression. This is a secular bear market in a global
depression. The past up move was a manipulated bull (s***) cycle in a
secular bear market. This has been a typically manipulated bubble as has
preceded the prior crashes with great regularity that the wall street frauds
and insiders commission and sell into. This is a typical wall street churn
and earn pass the hot potato scam / fraud as in prior crashes¶. This
national decline, economic and otherwise, will not end until justice is
served and the wall street frauds et als are criminally prosecuted, jailed,
fined, and disgorgement imposed
Pearlstein: The FCC and the bandwidth wars (Washington Post) [The
internet has been among the few areas of growth and american

AAII ± µBullish sentiment rose 9.4 percentage points to 39.8% in the latest
AAII Sentiment Survey. Despite the size of the increase, the proportion of
individual investors expecting stock prices to rise over the next six months
is only at a two-week high. The historical average is 39%. Neutral
sentiment, expectations that stock prices will stay essentially flat over the
next six months, fell 1.3 percentage points to 30.1%. The historical average
is 31%. Bearish sentiment, expectations that stock prices will fall, dropped
8.1 percentage points to 30.1%. This is a 14-week low. The historical
average is 30%. The survey period, Thursday through Wednesday, needs to
be taken into consideration when looking at these results. Stock prices
were essentially flat through most of this week's survey period (with the
obvious exception of yesterday), giving some investors hope that a short-
term bottom had been established. Though there were big changes in
bullish and bearish sentiment, both optimism and pessimism are close to
their historical averages. As a result, I would argue that individual
investors' confidence in the market remains fragileǦ
Lavish lifestyle for bank executive in Waters case (Washington Post) While
this is typical of California, isn¶t it as typical of the wall street frauds?
Scammin¶ everybody with that too big to fail b*** s*** when they¶re a net
economic drain, high frequency churn-and-earn computer programmed
trading scams among the more blatant frauds emanating from their
insatiable greed and sense of entitlement. Previous post: Cities, counties
could slash 500,000 more jobs (Washington Post) Could? I¶d say must.
Particularly when you factor in that this election µspurt¶ leaving the nation
even more bankrupt is illusory. I had occasion some time ago in speaking
with a long-time California resident (instructor at the college gym where I
worked out) to express my surprise at the bloated (municipal, state) high-
priced bureaucracy which of course is not productive except as to higher
taxes and which is at the forefront in the city of Bell where the city manager
was paid nearly 900,000 annually (with benefits the package was an
incredible $1,500,000), and specifically mentioned the part-time typical
compensation of $100,000 and contracts to interested, even familial,
parties. Of course, no one has done this better than feinstein, albeit on a
more federal level and China contracts through her husband¶s companies,
as previousl set forth on this website. Drudgereport: 'Where do the bailouts
end?' [I feel compelled to comment here that even capital hill math would
be hard-pressed to justify $26 billion taxpayer / treasury dollars they don¶t
really have, to save 300,000 state / local government jobs! After all, the
nation is defacto bankrupt! ]
Bailouts benefited foreign firms (Washington Post) True enough! But, truth
be told, the fraud giving rise to the financial debacle was home grown
americana. Moreover, the remnants of same are still out there in the
trillions, now µmarked to anything they so choose¶, courtesy of a complicit,
albeit after the fact, congress. This is the point « rather than as should
have been the case of making the perps pay, the bailouts / cover-ups by
now enablers if not accomplices is ending quite badly with much worse to
come, and that includes those european lightweights who have come into
the fraudulent wall street fold to theirs and the world¶s economic and
financial detriment.
Fed action signals new activism (Washington Post) [ Riiiiight! The activist
fed! That¶s all we need. As if we needed more of what brought us to this
point! Certainly the fed¶s role in the continuing and current financial crisis /
debacle cannot be ignored or disputed. Nothing like a hegelian
methodology to create the very problems for which they are called upon to
offer solutions, increasing their sense of importance, and concentrating
power thereby. (Think about it. It is really rather quite absurd that each
meeting time the financial markets hold their bated breath for these
incompetent boobs). Then there¶s the cover-up with an opportunity for
enrichment of some, usually the tight-lipped yes-men then ever after and
forever bonded in what becomes tantamount to an almost fraternal link by
µvirtue¶ of the crime thereby. No, I¶m not saying their initial missteps were
necessarily badly intended, but the manipulations thereafter to obfuscate
their incompetence (senile greenspun, no-recession-helicopter-ben, etc.)
comes at a great price and is nothing less than tantamount to or just
outright crime. I¶d abolish the fed without hesitation or compunction. After
all, at this point of decline and defacto bankruptcy of the nation you
certainly can¶t point to success nor argue their indispensability. Then
there¶s also the missing trillions, over-printing of fiat currency, and all that
sub rosa activity with the worthless fraudulent toxic paper which I believe
is being supplanted with ultimately hard currency to the great benefit of the
frauds and great detriment to the nation.] Y

Marc Faber Questions if Dow Could Hit 1,000 In the August edition of the
µThe Gloom, Boom & Doom Report¶ Marc Faber questions whether the Dow

who has written 13 books on finance (external link), believes that the stock
market is historically overvalued in terms of dividends and earnings,
because of a ³great rise in positive social mood.´ But the mood changed in
2000 and the ³trend toward negative social mood will lead to an economic
contraction,´ according to Prechter. ³Small bear markets lead to
recessions, big bear markets lead to depressions. The current bear market
will be the biggest in nearly 300 years, so the depression will be
correspondingly deep,´ Prechter said.

, « 'Bank stress test' became the magic
phrase. Nothing calms fear like a stress test that's labeled as rigorous. The
stress test raises a few very obvious questions: 1) Will it work? 2) Why was
it needed in addition to a $1 trillion aid package? 3) Is the stress test just a
gimmick to appease investors? The stress test is conducted by the
London-based Committee of European Banking Supervisors (CEBS).
Ironically, the test has ignored the majority of banks' holdings of sovereign
debt. Sovereign debt concerns by the so-called PIGS countries (Portugal,
Italy, Greece, and Spain) triggered the latest wave of financial problems.
Ignoring sovereign debt in the Euro stress test would be like ignoring toxic
real estate assets in the U.S. 10% Good - 90% Bad According to a Morgan
Stanley survey, European banks hold about 90% of their Greek government
bonds in their banking books and 10% in their trading books. The bonds in
the banking book are generally held until maturity, the bonds in the trading
book are traded more frequently. According to a document obtained by
Bloomberg, the stress test assumes a loss of 23.1% on Greek debt, 14% on
Portuguese bonds, 12.3% on Spanish debt, 4.7% on German debt, 10% on
U.K. debt, and 5.9% on French debt. However, the stress test only looks at
the bonds held in banks' trading books, which account for a mere 10% of
Greek bond holdings. Can that be called a stress test? Nouriel Roubini
says that 'the assumptions made about economic growth, about sovereign
risk are not realistic enough.' The fact that only seven banks failed the test
with a combined shortfall of $4.5 billion confirms the lax nature of the test.
« The U.S. Bank Stress Test - A Nice Façade A closer look under the hood
of the U.S. bank stress test, however, shows that there's not much
substance behind the facade either. It was determined that the 19 tested
U.S. banks need to increase their balance sheets by $75 billion to meet the
conditions of what's termed the 'worst case scenario.' To a large extent, the
$75 billion of additional capital was financially engineered. Banks didn't
have to actually raise $75 billion. They were able to change the label of
some of their assets on their balance sheets. The government supported
this practice via mandatory convertible preferred shares (detailed analysis
in May 2009 issue of the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter) Ǧ

AAII ± µBullish sentiment rose 9.4 percentage points to 39.8% in the latest
AAII Sentiment Survey. Despite the size of the increase, the proportion of
individual investors expecting stock prices to rise over the next six months
is only at a two-week high. The historical average is 39%. Neutral
sentiment, expectations that stock prices will stay essentially flat over the
next six months, fell 1.3 percentage points to 30.1%. The historical average
is 31%. Bearish sentiment, expectations that stock prices will fall, dropped
8.1 percentage points to 30.1%. This is a 14-week low. The historical
average is 30%. The survey period, Thursday through Wednesday, needs to
be taken into consideration when looking at these results. Stock prices
were essentially flat through most of this week's survey period (with the
obvious exception of yesterday), giving some investors hope that a short-
term bottom had been established. Though there were big changes in
bullish and bearish sentiment, both optimism and pessimism are close to
their historical averages. As a result, I would argue that individual
investors' confidence in the market remains fragileǦ

priced bureaucracy which of course is not productive except as to higher
taxes and which is at the forefront in the city of Bell where the city manager
was paid nearly 900,000 annually (with benefits the package was an
incredible $1,500,000), and specifically mentioned the part-time typical
compensation of $100,000 and contracts to interested, even familial,
parties. Of course, no one has done this better than feinstein, albeit on a
more federal level and China contracts through her husband¶s companies,
as previousl set forth on this website. Drudgereport: 'Where do the bailouts

Bailouts benefited foreign firms (Washington Post) True enough! But, truth
be told, the fraud giving rise to the financial debacle was home grown
americana. Moreover, the remnants of same are still out there in the
trillions, now µmarked to anything they so choose¶, courtesy of a complicit,
albeit after the fact, congress. This is the point « rather than as should
have been the case of making the perps pay, the bailouts / cover-ups by

Fed action signals new activism (Washington Post) [ Riiiiight! The activist
fed! That¶s all we need. As if we needed more of what brought us to this
point! Certainly the fed¶s role in the continuing and current financial crisis /
debacle cannot be ignored or disputed. Nothing like a hegelian
methodology to create the very problems for which they are called upon to
offer solutions, increasing their sense of importance, and concentrating
power thereby. (Think about it. It is really rather quite absurd that each
meeting time the financial markets hold their bated breath for these
incompetent boobs). Then there¶s the cover-up with an opportunity for
enrichment of some, usually the tight-lipped yes-men then ever after and
forever bonded in what becomes tantamount to an almost fraternal link by
µvirtue¶ of the crime thereby. No, I¶m not saying their initial missteps were
necessarily badly intended, but the manipulations thereafter to obfuscate
their incompetence (senile greenspun, no-recession-helicopter-ben, etc.)
comes at a great price and is nothing less than tantamount to or just
outright crime. I¶d abolish the fed without hesitation or compunction. After
all, at this point of decline and defacto bankruptcy of the nation you
certainly can¶t point to success nor argue their indispensability. Then
there¶s also the missing trillions, over-printing of fiat currency, and all that
sub rosa activity with the worthless fraudulent toxic paper which I believe
is being supplanted with ultimately hard currency to the great benefit of the
frauds and great detriment to the nation.]

Stocks' Late Push: Some Optimism, Some Pessimism [Late push « as in a
constipated bowel movement « Come on! Another one of those push the
computer programmed trade button and off we go, reality / valuation /
economics be damned. In real security analysis (very simplified /
summarized), as opposed to the continued frauds on wall street, one must
begin with the largest and most significant aggregate (a simple word
picture / analogy: µrising tide lifts all boats¶). If you get this right, the
probabilities in your favor are substantially enhanced. From there, you
want leading industries, and leading companies within said leading
industries (again, larger aggregates then picks, to enhance probabilities,
not guarantees, in your favor). Your time frame, 1-3-5 yrs tops for
projections, (including income statement/EPS, balance sheet, and applying
an appropriate P/E ± a detailed, multi-faceted approach beyond what could
be described in this summary); and, that¶s all they are, projections. Beyond
that time frame, your guess. On fraudulent wall street, every day, though
already discounted in large part (6-8 mos, approx.), the market spins,
churns, and with lightning fast computerized high-frequency trade
programs commissions in huge volumes like no other time in financial
history when real valuation meant something, with no net economic value
added, but very lucrative to the frauds on wall street, which ultimately is a
net detriment to the economy / the nation /and other industries as we¶ve
seen and as described elsewhere on this site and in these posts
http://albertpeia.com . Preposterously, they even sometimes refer to
seasonal factors as if hearing them for the first time and µexplaining¶ an up
move (almost invariably already discounted). Today, they shrugged off the
deepening economic reality despite the election year frothing /
manipulations. This is a global depression. This is a secular bear market in
a global depression. The past up move was a manipulated bull (s***) cycle
in a secular bear market. This has been a typically manipulated bubble as
has preceded the prior crashes with great regularity that the wall street
frauds and insiders commission and sell into. This is a typical wall street
churn and earn pass the hot potato scam / fraud as in prior crashes¶. This
national decline, economic and otherwise, will not end until justice is
served and the wall street frauds et als are criminally prosecuted, jailed,
fined, and disgorgement imposed. ].

Marc Faber Questions if Dow Could Hit 1,000 In the August edition of the
µThe Gloom, Boom & Doom Report¶ Marc Faber questions whether the Dow
could hit 1,000 as predicted by Robert Prechter, based on his interpretation
of Elliot Waves, Fibonacci numbers and socioeconomic trends. Prechter,
who has written 13 books on finance (external link), believes that the stock
market is historically overvalued in terms of dividends and earnings,
because of a ³great rise in positive social mood.´ But the mood changed in
2000 and the ³trend toward negative social mood will lead to an economic
contraction,´ according to Prechter. ³Small bear markets lead to
recessions, big bear markets lead to depressions. The current bear market
will be the biggest in nearly 300 years, so the depression will be
correspondingly deep,´ Prechter said.

, « 'Bank stress test' became the magic
phrase. Nothing calms fear like a stress test that's labeled as rigorous. The
stress test raises a few very obvious questions: 1) Will it work? 2) Why was
it needed in addition to a $1 trillion aid package? 3) Is the stress test just a
gimmick to appease investors? The stress test is conducted by the
London-based Committee of European Banking Supervisors (CEBS).
Ironically, the test has ignored the majority of banks' holdings of sovereign
debt. Sovereign debt concerns by the so-called PIGS countries (Portugal,
Italy, Greece, and Spain) triggered the latest wave of financial problems.
Ignoring sovereign debt in the Euro stress test would be like ignoring toxic
real estate assets in the U.S. 10% Good - 90% Bad According to a Morgan
Stanley survey, European banks hold about 90% of their Greek government
bonds in their banking books and 10% in their trading books. The bonds in
the banking book are generally held until maturity, the bonds in the trading
book are traded more frequently. According to a document obtained by
Bloomberg, the stress test assumes a loss of 23.1% on Greek debt, 14% on
Portuguese bonds, 12.3% on Spanish debt, 4.7% on German debt, 10% on
U.K. debt, and 5.9% on French debt. However, the stress test only looks at
the bonds held in banks' trading books, which account for a mere 10% of
Greek bond holdings. Can that be called a stress test? Nouriel Roubini
says that 'the assumptions made about economic growth, about sovereign
risk are not realistic enough.' The fact that only seven banks failed the test
with a combined shortfall of $4.5 billion confirms the lax nature of the test.
« The U.S. Bank Stress Test - A Nice Façade A closer look under the hood
of the U.S. bank stress test, however, shows that there's not much
substance behind the facade either. It was determined that the 19 tested
U.S. banks need to increase their balance sheets by $75 billion to meet the
conditions of what's termed the 'worst case scenario.' To a large extent, the
$75 billion of additional capital was financially engineered. Banks didn't
have to actually raise $75 billion. They were able to change the label of
some of their assets on their balance sheets. The government supported
this practice via mandatory convertible preferred shares (detailed analysis
in May 2009 issue of the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter) Ǧ

outright crime. I¶d abolish the fed without hesitation or compunction. After

there¶s also the missing trillions, over-printing of fiat currency, and all that

housing sector. There is no general economic recovery as of yet. Jobless
claims continue to mount, while net new jobs are not being created in a
significant enough number to even sustain the population growth
(approximately 150,000 net new jobs per month needed). By far the majority
of economic reports for May, June, July, and now August, have been worse
than forecast. That includes home starts, home sales, home-builder
confidence, retail sales, auto sales, consumer confidence, durable goods
orders, manufacturing, jobs, etc. Yet the market rallies or barely goes down
on these bad reports. What gives? It seems that bad news is good news
right now«

Marc Faber Questions if Dow Could Hit 1,000 In the August edition of the
µThe Gloom, Boom & Doom Report¶ Marc Faber questions whether the Dow
could hit 1,000 as predicted by Robert Prechter, based on his interpretation
of Elliot Waves, Fibonacci numbers and socioeconomic trends. Prechter,
who has written 13 books on finance (external link), believes that the stock
market is historically overvalued in terms of dividends and earnings,
because of a ³great rise in positive social mood.´ But the mood changed in
2000 and the ³trend toward negative social mood will lead to an economic
contraction,´ according to Prechter. ³Small bear markets lead to
recessions, big bear markets lead to depressions. The current bear market
will be the biggest in nearly 300 years, so the depression will be
correspondingly deep,´ Prechter said.

, « 'Bank stress test' became the magic
phrase. Nothing calms fear like a stress test that's labeled as rigorous. The
stress test raises a few very obvious questions: 1) Will it work? 2) Why was
it needed in addition to a $1 trillion aid package? 3) Is the stress test just a
gimmick to appease investors? The stress test is conducted by the
London-based Committee of European Banking Supervisors (CEBS).
Ironically, the test has ignored the majority of banks' holdings of sovereign
debt. Sovereign debt concerns by the so-called PIGS countries (Portugal,
Italy, Greece, and Spain) triggered the latest wave of financial problems.
Ignoring sovereign debt in the Euro stress test would be like ignoring toxic
real estate assets in the U.S. 10% Good - 90% Bad According to a Morgan
Stanley survey, European banks hold about 90% of their Greek government
bonds in their banking books and 10% in their trading books. The bonds in
the banking book are generally held until maturity, the bonds in the trading
book are traded more frequently. According to a document obtained by
Bloomberg, the stress test assumes a loss of 23.1% on Greek debt, 14% on
Portuguese bonds, 12.3% on Spanish debt, 4.7% on German debt, 10% on
U.K. debt, and 5.9% on French debt. However, the stress test only looks at
the bonds held in banks' trading books, which account for a mere 10% of
Greek bond holdings. Can that be called a stress test? Nouriel Roubini
says that 'the assumptions made about economic growth, about sovereign
risk are not realistic enough.' The fact that only seven banks failed the test
with a combined shortfall of $4.5 billion confirms the lax nature of the test.
« The U.S. Bank Stress Test - A Nice Façade A closer look under the hood
of the U.S. bank stress test, however, shows that there's not much
substance behind the facade either. It was determined that the 19 tested
U.S. banks need to increase their balance sheets by $75 billion to meet the
conditions of what's termed the 'worst case scenario.' To a large extent, the
$75 billion of additional capital was financially engineered. Banks didn't
have to actually raise $75 billion. They were able to change the label of
some of their assets on their balance sheets. The government supported
this practice via mandatory convertible preferred shares (detailed analysis
in May 2009 issue of the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter) Ǧ

on wall street who really try very hard to get people to by into their paper-
churning high-frequency trade / commission scam for which ultimately
potentially productive money is siphoned off / drained from the economy
into their pockets which is a net negative in real economic terms. They
know all the tricks, technical trendlines, moving averages, etc., to suck
them in:
(# ; )5 " *% - The economic
news from the unemployment report could not be worse and an old pattern
was repeated -- higher volume on a selloff followed by an engineered "stick
save" into the close. It used to be hard to make this stuff up, now it's
becoming routine. As noted yesterday, bulls might like bad data since
they'd expect another round of quantitative easing (QE2) from the Fed and
a politically desperate administration. This means more liquidity baby and
an opportunity to lift stocks to new highs. That's the thinking from bizzaro-
land. So we get another big intraday 150 point swing in the DJIA as the
"2:15 PM Buy Program Express" hits the tape on time as volume starts to
dry up. That's why the caution sign advises to stay away from the Program
Trading Express. Nevertheless, volume increased Friday with most of that
coming early and often. Breadth was negative but not overwhelmingly so.

I¶d say must. Particularly when you factor in that this election µspurt¶

productive except as to higher taxes and which is at the forefront in the city
of Bell where the city manager was paid nearly 900,000 annually, and
specifically mentioned the part-time typical compensation of $100,000 and

ridiculous. I had occasion to hear from a so-called money manager on what

said program anymore, truth be told, but owing to a scheduling quirk
caught same this day) say that all the economic / business news last week
was good. In point of fact, the actual news was all bad (except for some
sporadic earnings reports that were discounted many months ago). What
parallel universe are these foisty feisty frauds living in? Again, waning full
moon Then the infamous federal but not really federal, express in only a

guidance and based on b*** s***, and voila « another full moon rally (oh

insurmountable debt remain and will worsen. All their computer

Everyone knows there are 3 WMD threats, Nuclear Biological and chemical.
The scariest of which is Biological.
Any attack done under the threat of immediate biological retaliation would
deter only the insane.

Ron Paul: After µCIA coup,¶ agency µruns military¶ US House Rep. Ron Paul
says the CIA has has in effect carried out a ³coup´ against the US
government, and the intelligence agency needs to be ³taken out.´ I also
personally believe there has been a !5 ''
!? which has
manifested in various substantial, blatant, brazened frauds, ie., wall street,
missing 360 tons of $100 bills in Iraq, war profiteering, etc., without any
fear of prosecution, and of course concomitant decline for u.s. as the
treasury is looted. But I also believe its scope is beyond just the CIA with
many complicit within the corrupted 3 branches of u.s. government (fed
judges, us attorneys, illegal system, etc.) plus the military and private big
money, ie., Goldman Sachs / wall street men, etc., among other organized
crime. america is defacto bankrupt in every way!
There must be such things as parallel universes (I don¶t really believe that,
because there isn¶t) or how else do you explain the disconnect between
reality, current and prospective, and the wet dreams posited to keep the
war funding / corporate welfare programs alive in collectively what has
already become a trillion dollar boondoggle (not counting prospective
medical costs, etc.) and promises to go much higher. Even israel apologist
Cohen of The Washington Post alludes to the Vietnam analogy. However,
even if there were real goals beyond the poppy / heroin trade which the
Taliban had all but eradicated (there isn¶t); even if america wasn¶t defacto
bankrupt (america is); even if america wasn¶t killing innocent civilians in
large numbers (war criminal nation america is); even if america¶s allies
haven¶t similarly helped to bankrupt themselves by way of this war (they
have); even if I hadn¶t told you so (I did) «.. this war still was, is, and
remains a very bad idea!
How does anyone take the u.s. seriously in light of their credibility
problems, war crimes, etc.? What nuke technology israel didn¶t steal from
the u.s., the u.s. gave them along with missile, armaments, etc.. and paid
for with taxpayer money that u.s. taxpayers and the defacto bankrupt
nation don¶t have.
It's time to expel israel from the UN Without doubt, the israeli attack on the
Gaza-bound "Freedom Flotilla" in the dawn of Monday, May 31, 2010 is one
of the most savage crimes in recent history. It seems the ruling power in
Tel Aviv has been afflicted with a variant of mad cow disease; otherwise,
how could it be so cruel to unleash such a beastly raid on the "Mavi
Marmara," the Turkish flagship of a flotilla carrying medical and
humanitarian supplies to the hapless people of Gaza Strip?

A lost fight to keep selling Chryslers (Washington Post) I realize it¶s easy
to say after the fact, with hindsight, that I was always at a loss to
understand this very issue and such lack of understanding of the dealer /
manufacturer inter-relationships left me speechless; however, the same
always seemed counter-intuitive. Truth be told, however, I µm a big fan of
Cal Worthington here in California based solely (and uniquely for me) on
his television commercials in which the big cats figure prominently in
actual footage of him with them, along with him riding bulls, killer whales,
etc., and having very competitive advertised prices (He¶s primarily Ford but
sells them all).
The week ahead in business (Washington Post) Big week indeed for µno-
recession-helicopter-ben¶ bernanke, the captain of that unsinkable
american economic Titanic who like the senile incompetent predecessor
alan green_spun quite a few contra-indicated yarns himself!
Market Going Down With the Ship? Montgomery: µThis morning the Baltic
Dry Index, a measure of freight rates for international shipping, was at
1700. It hasn't been at this level since April 2009, only four months after its
Credit Crisis low and only one month after the stock market was at its
bottom. Bloomberg News noted a week ago that the index had dropped
continuously for the longest period in nine years. Yes, the current drop in
the preceding seven weeks (from a high of 4209 in late May) has been
bigger than anything seen during the Credit Crisis. The last drop of this
magnitude was in August 2001 in the middle of that year's recession. Lack
of shipping activity from China, the engine for global economic activity,
was cited as the main cause for the falling index. Charter rates for all types
of ships tracked in the index are falling. Prices for dry bulk shipping, which
doesn't include energy commodities, tend to be very sensitive to economic
activity. A sharp drop in rates indicates a significant drop in global trade.
Based on historical charts it looks like the Baltic Index can lead, be
coincident or lag movements in economic data and the stock market. The
index seems to be most closely correlated with prices of industrial
commodities and the industrial sector of the global economy. While this is
not the largest component of the U.S. economy (the service sector is four
times larger), it is the key sector in developing economies. It was
manufacturing though that had the biggest rebound in the U.S. since last
year. The service sector has remained lackluster. The stock market will
likely be following the Baltic Index down, although perhaps not with such a
precipitous decline. The Index has dropped almost 60% since late May.
With the exception of the small cap Russell 2000, none of the major stock
indices have had even a 20% drop - at least not yet. Disclosure: No
positions.¶

Charles Nenner: ³Long-Term Investors Should Wait Until Dow Hits 5,000Ǝ
Charles Nenner, who prior to founding the Charles Nenner Research
Institute served as a technical analyst for Goldman for about 10 years, has
been looking at charts and not seeing much to write home about.
A slap on the wrist for Goldman Sachs Aljazeera.net | The ³great vampire
squid wrapped around the face of humanity´ agreed to pay $550 million to
settle fraud charges.
I disagree! Indeed, there have been and are a plethora of laws and ad hoc
prosecutions; but, particularly for the µrisk seeker¶ criminally insane
mentality on wall street, the same is far from a deterrent as seen from
historical perspective / fact and might even perversely provide for them an
incentive. The amount is relatively meager, but so long as this settlement is
as supposedly indicated to former SEC head by Khuzami narrowly drawn
and in no ways protective of goldman with regard to the yet unresolved
massive frauds in the many trillions, the SEC should be given the benefit of
the doubt. However, µturning its attention to exotic financial products that
MIGHT be used to harm investors¶ is troubling to say the least. Might? Who
are they kidding. The µbad paper¶ is still out there in the many trillions and
in criminally complicit fashion now marked to anything. I further believe
these products of fraud and consequent damage are being surreptitiously
being, with corrupt fed help, supplanted with real, albeit fiat, currency
ultimately to citizens / taxpayers / nations detriment. As things currently
stand, particularly from the numbers, fraud by wall street does pay; and
pays well! Khuzami, a 29-year-old former in :!
Sachs
Group Inc.'s business intelligence unit, had better produce or appropriately
find himself prosecuted for conflict, collusion, etc.. After all, he¶s hardly
one to be considered unbiased. The frauds on wall street et als must be
criminally prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed. I truly
believe that absent such prosecution, there will be revolution in this
country. In other words, their µjig is up¶ and they must go down for what
they did / do.
They still know how to count. When you defraud for many billions, paying
$550 million is chump change. :!

Goldman Sachs beats the SEC± µCan Goldman Sachs
Group Inc. wheel and deal or what? The bank and brokerage's settlement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday over the ill-
fated Abacus deal may be its best trade ever. At $550 million, it's not
terribly expensive. (GS 152.19, +6.97, +4.80%) hasn't agreed to restrict its
practices in any meaningful way. And poof! The firm can go back to work
with its biggest liability paid. Investors are ecstatic, Goldman shares
rocketed 5.5% in after-hours trading. No wonder Goldman called it "the
right outcome for our firm shareholders and clients." See full story on the
SEC settlement. For the regulators, the settlement is more than just
anticlimactic. Having bet all of its chips on reversing embarrassing
episodes such as the Bernie Madoff fiasco in an aggressive case against
Wall Street, the SEC whiffed. Sure, the settlement is the biggest in the
agency's history. Yes, the SEC was able to squeeze Goldman on the
settlement language and admit it was a "mistake" not to have disclosed
Paulson & Co.'s role in picking the ill-fated securities. But come on.
Goldman's net income last year was $12.1 billion. It could be even higher
this year, given the robust first quarter Goldman already has had. The
settlement amounts to less than 5% of profits. Maybe Goldman Sachs will
even be able to write it off Ǧ

consequences of which will be devastating, of course, as is invariably so in
depressions in any event. This scenario would also mean huge fraud
accomplis. This market is paper on paper moving around and generating
commissions at lightning computerized speed but adding no real value in
real economic terms; again, the analogy of termites eating away at the
(nation¶s) foundation is apposite. As such, that money has to come from
some real place and hence, the ever more frequent and larger crashes we
are seeing. Don¶t forget that the worthless paper from previous such
fraudulent schemes now marked to anything is still out there in a
magnitude some have placed in the hundreds of trillions.

Mideast Digest: Wow! Belfast, Northern Ireland; and in the Mideast Digest
Section, of all places. It¶s been a long time. While I have had some
difficulties with Irish mob in the context of litigation but only tangential to
my primary RICO action vis-à-vis the Italian mob (and similarly tangentially
the jewish mob and then primarily what I learned to be µgovernmental mob¶,
federal, state, local, derivative thereby and the sine quo non of corruption /
bribery / synergy that spells decline for any nation), it is difficult to not be
empathetic to the plight of an otherwise beautiful nation tainted only by the
orange stain in that northern quarter. After all, what hasn¶t england not
mucked up from balfour to the mideast to now even their own nation
having hitched a ride on the american / israeli crazy train. As a matter of
disclosure, I must admit to an affinity for the Irish and somewhat fairly
recently had been asked what I thought of Philadelphia to which without
hesitation I immediately replied that Grace Kelly (truly magnificent by any
standard) was born there. I could think of nothing else that could parallel
such a distinction.
$Fh8F$2h,F2E+,:&h9:9P,Gomes: µHaving been a
technical analyst for the first 10 years of my investing career and a
fundamental analyst for the past 15 years, I'm a believer that technical
patterns form as fundamentals unfold. As such, if you know something
about both, you can confirm both against each other. At this point in time, I
see a market that is technically reaching up toward its 200 day moving
average (2,250 for the NASDAQ). I also see a 50 day moving average that is
threatening to drop below that 200 day moving average. Technically, that is
usually a very bad sign for the market. «
1) Economic indicators are dropping fast. For all intents and purposes, the
unemployment rate has not budged. Meanwhile, store shelves are stocked
again, PCs have been upgraded, etc. In other words, the pent-up demand
that drove the current rebound has almost run its course. What little
remains no longer has the power to drive the economy as it has over the
past 18-months.
2) "Follow the money". This is one of the most powerfully simple rules on
Wall Street. When money is flowing into the economy (i.e. via lower interest
rates or stimulus $$$), it's usually good for stocks..and vice versa. At
present, interest rates can't go much lower and the numerous stimulus
programs are losing effectiveness. This means that the money is no longer
flowing in. Worse yet, the money that was spent is not generally viewed as
having been money well spent. This does not bode well for a new stimulus
package to come anytime soon. In other words, money is not flowing in
AND doesn't appear poised to flow in anytime soon. In fact, state and
municipal budgets are being cut (money flowing OUT), while they raise
local sales and income taxes (more money flowing out). if federal taxes go
up in 2011, as planned, even more money will be flowing out. If you follow
that, you should be flowing out of the stock market. In short, barring a new
stimulus package of other major money-flowing event, I believe the
economy slips back toward recession. Whether or not we double-dip, we
will almost certainty slip in that direction.
3) If you follow the money in Europe, you will run for the hills. Europe has
decided to spin 180-degrees and shift from stimulus to austerity (if you
don't know the definition, look it up -- you'll likely hear it again -- and not
just from me). Effectively the opposite of stimulus, austerity will pull money
away from the European economies...which tells us to pull money away
from stocks. Worse yet, the effect of the EU/IMF bailout is already wearing
off. Greek yields are rising again and Portuguese credit ratings have been
reduced.
4) Global bubbles are bursting. Most notably, home sales in China and
Canada are starting to fall. Remember what happened when the U.S.
housing market cracked? That's right -- that's what started this mess in the
first place.
5) Politically, this period in time has a tendency to be bad for stocks. There
is uncertainty around the mid-year elections...and the market hates
uncertainty. Historically, the political picture doesn't become clear until
October, at which point we might expect a rally. Until then, expect the
democrats to do everything they can to retain their jobs in November. That
means, "stop pissing off the public"...and the public seems pretty pissed
about how the stimulus $$$ worked out for them (or more accurately, how
it DIDN'T work out for them). Thus, the political pressure will lean against
further stimulus until after the elections.
The Bottom Line: I believe that the market will start to reflect these
concerns very soon. These are real fundamental concerns, which you can
see reflected in the technicals. As the market reaches the 50DMA and the
200DMA, it will be inclined to retreat (barring some new, hugely positive
news). Meanwhile, the 50DMA is 90%+ likely to cross below the 200DMA,
giving the market more reason to retrench. At some point, if the economy
sinks far enough and if the market drops far enough, political pressure for
more stimulus will mount. At that point, money will flow back into the
economy. But that time is not now. Now, money is flowing away like the
tide...and so should your invested capital. I'm not always right, but I do my
best, based on the information before me. Based on what I see right now,
the most logical conclusion is to expect a long, ugly summer for stocks. If I
see information that changes that view, I'll be sure to post an update to this
post. Disclosure: I have short positions against the market
No help in sight for jobless (Washington Post) Well, from their perspective,

Simon Maierhofer: µOn Friday July 9, 2010, 4:32 pm EDT It rarely ever
happens, but when it does, it's serious. It has only happened nine times in
10 years. We are referring to crossovers between the 200-day and 50-day
simple moving averages (SMAs).Very few technical indicators receive as
much attention and media coverage as the 50 and 200-day SMAs. The 200-
day MA is perceived to be the dividing line between a stock that is
technically healthy and one that is not. It's a Big Deal It's a big deal when a
stock or an index drops below the 200-day SMA. It's an even bigger deal
when the 50-day SMA of any given stock or index drops below the 200-day
SMA. Such a crossover reflects internal weakness - at least in theory. We'll
discuss in a moment how the actual numbers match up with theoretic
assumptions. On June 22, 2010, the S&P 500 (SNP: ^GSPC) and Dow Jones
(DJI: ^DJI) dropped below the 200-day SMA. One day later the Nasdaq
(Nasdaq: ^IXIC) followed. On July 2, 2010, the 50-day SMA for the S&P
(NYSEArca: SPY - News) dropped below the 200-day SMA. On July 6, the
Dow Jones (NYSEArca: DIA - News) followed. As of today, the Nasdaq
(Nasdaq: QQQQ - News) is barely hanging on. This sounds like a
doomsday scenario. Does a rigid analysis show that there is validity to 200-
day and 50-day SMA crossover buy/sell signals? Let's
investigate.Crossovers - Lagging but Notable Many argue that the SMA
crossover is a delayed signal that emphasizes past weakness more than it
foreshadows future declines. To an extent, that is true. There are other
warning signals that point to a market turn long before the SMA does. For
example, on April 16, 2010, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter noted an
extremely low put/call ratio along with other bullish sentiment extremes.
The newsletter stated that 'the message conveyed by the composite
bullishness is unmistakably bearish. Once prices start to fall and investors
get afraid of incurring losses, the only option is to sell (due to the low
put/call ratio). Selling, results in more selling. This negative feedback loop
usually results in rapidly falling prices.' Prices did fall rapidly. The 22
trading days following the April 26 high, erased eight months worth of
gains. It took a 17% drop for the SMA crossover to trigger a sell signal.
When the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter issued a strong buy signal on
March 2, 2009, it emphasized that the developing rally would be a counter
trend rally followed by a steep decline and maintained this viewpoint even
though prices kept rallying relentlessly into the April highs. The SMA
crossover now expresses the possibility that even lower prices are ahead.
200 and 50-day SMA Crossovers - How Accurate? How about the SMA
crossover track record? Over the past 10 years, there have been nine S&P
SMA crossovers with five sell and four buy signals. We have yet to see the
results of the most recent sell signal. However, of the eight previous
signals, six were correct. Average gains following each signal were 14.91%.
$10,000 invested according to the buy/sell recommendations given right
after the first sell signal was triggered on October 30, 2000 at S&P 1,399,
would be worth $24,769 today. More Than just Crossovers If it sounds too
good to be true, it often is. As is the case with so many technical
indicators, crossovers need to be viewed in context with other indicators.
In other words, take a step back and evaluate how crossovers fit into the
larger picture. The larger picture (going back to 2007) reveals that trading
volume associated with market declines has been generally high, while
trading volume seen during rallies has been generally low; a bearish sign.
Does Wednesday's 3.13% Rally Invalidate the Sell Signal? On Wednesday,
the S&P rallied 32 points or 3.13%. The Dow rallied 2.82%, while the Nasdaq
rallied 3.13%. Does this mean the bull market is back on track?Since the
April market top, we've seen about a handful of 2-3% bounces. All
associated gains were erased within a matter of days. Chances are this
time will be the same. In fact, some sort of bounce was to be expected. On
July 5, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter stated 'considering that the S&P
is butting against the 100-week SMA, lower accelerations band, 38.2%
Fibonacci retracement levels, round number resistance at 1,000, and
weekly s1 at 994, there is a good chance we will see some sort of a bounce
develop from the 990 - 1,015 area. Weekly r1 at 1,066 and pivot at 1,063
should serve as resistance.' This bounce is in its later stages right now.
What's Next? Let's revisit the larger picture. Out of the nine leading
industry sectors, seven have seen their 50-day SMA cross below the 200-
day SMA - financials (NYSEArca: XLF - News), technology (NYSEArca: XLK
- News), consumer staples (NYSEArca: XLP - News), materials (NYSEArca:
XLB - News), utilities (NYSEArca: XLU - News), energy (NYSEArca: XLE -
News) and healthcare (NYSEArca: XLV - News). The consumer
discretionary (NYSEArca: XLY - News) and industrial sector (NYSEArca:
XLI - News) are the only holdouts. All nine sectors, however, trade below
their 200-day SMA. Fundamentals, sentiment readings and valuations also
point south. Some of the fundamentals we have discussed in these pages
are crafty accounting practices designed to hide huge losses racked up by
big financial institutions not yet realized along with a continually bad
unemployment picture. Sentiment surrounding the April highs recorded
extremes not seen since the 2000, 2007, and even 1987 market top. There
are multiple sentiment measures (such as the VIX, cash allocation, put/call
ratio, percentage of bullish/bearish advisors, mutual fund cash levels, etc.).
Each sentiment measure is one piece of the puzzle. The more pieces of the
puzzle you have, the clearer the picture becomes. Leading up to the April
highs, nearly all sentiment indicators peaked, painting a complete bearish
picture. In summary, the bearish picture is confirmed by technical
indicators, a fundamental outlook, sentiment gauges, and valuations.
Based on what the market considered fair market valuations at prior
historic market bottoms, one can conclude how far stocks have to drop to
reach the previously attained level of fair valuations. The ETF Profit
Strategy Newsletter includes a detailed analysis of four valuation metrics
with a track record of accuracy, along with the implied target range for an
ultimate market bottom. This is provided in addition to its short, mid and
long-term forecast. When the market speaks, it behooves investors to
listen. Fighting the tape has often proven to be foolish, as the market will
always have the final word.¶

Y Double Dip Recession and the Obama 2011 Budget (February 2010):
The long and short is that ± come Summer ± the inventory cycle¶s
thrust will have dissipated. And if companies are not hiring by this
time and consumer spending is not increasing more robustly, then
the state budgets, the strategic defaults and all of the rest of that
becomes a serious obstacle. In my view, more likely than not, this
will lead to another recession late in 2010 or in 2011. And nothing in
the President¶s budget changes this outlook.
Y The mindset will not change; a depressionary relapse may be
coming (March 2010): the inventory cycle¶s impact on GDP growth
will attenuate. By the second half of 2010, inventories will not add
considerably to GDP.
Y US GDP growth rate is unsustainable; recovery will fade (April 2010):
The inventory cycle is already starting to fade. That means weak 1 or

tremendously by the second half of the year, this recovery is in
trouble.

50 Random Facts That Make You Wonder What In The World Has Happened
To America - The Economic Collapse July 2, 2010 Our world is changing
at a pace that is so staggering these days that it can be really hard to fully
grasp the significance of what we are witnessing. Hopefully the collection
of random facts below will help you to ³connect the dots´ just a little bit.
On one level, the facts below may not seem related. However, what they all
do have in common is that they show just how much the United States has
fundamentally changed. Do you ever just sit back and wonder what in the
world has happened to America? The truth is that the America that so
many of us once loved so much has been shattered into a thousand
pieces. The ³land of the free and the home of the brave´ has been
transformed into a socialized Big Brother nanny state that is oozing with
corruption and has accumulated the biggest mountain of debt in the
history of the world. The greatest economic machine that the world has
ever seen is falling apart before our very eyes, and even when our
politicians actually try to do something right (which is quite rare) the end
result is still a bunch of garbage. For those who still love this land (and
there are a lot of us) it is heartbreaking to watch America slowly die.

In just six months, the largest tax hikes in the history of America will take
effect. They will hit families and small businesses in three great waves on
January 1, 2011:
In 2001 and 2003, the GOP Congress enacted several tax cuts for investors,
small business owners, and families. These will all expire on January 1,
2011:
Personal income tax rates will rise. The top income tax rate will rise from
35 to 39.6 percent (this is also the rate at which two-thirds of small
business profits are taxed). The lowest rate will rise from 10 to 15 percent.
All the rates in between will also rise. Itemized deductions and personal
exemptions will again phase out, which has the same mathematical effect
as higher marginal tax rates. The full list of marginal rate hikes is below:
Higher taxes on marriage and family. The ³marriage penalty´ (narrower tax
brackets for married couples) will return from the first dollar of income.
The child tax credit will be cut in half from $1000 to $500 per child. The
standard deduction will no longer be doubled for married couples relative
to the single level. The dependent care and adoption tax credits will be cut.
The return of the Death Tax. This year, there is no death tax. For those
dying on or after January 1 2011, there is a 55 percent top death tax rate on
estates over $1 million. A person leaving behind two homes and a
retirement account could easily pass along a death tax bill to their loved
ones.
Higher tax rates on savers and investors. The capital gains tax will rise
from 15 percent this year to 20 percent in 2011. The dividends tax will rise
from 15 percent this year to 39.6 percent in 2011. These rates will rise
another 3.8 percent in 2013.
'
!$ *"&7 '
There are over twenty new or higher taxes in Obamacare. Several will first
go into effect on January 1, 2011. They include:
The ³Special Needs Kids Tax´ This provision of Obamacare imposes a cap
on flexible spending accounts (FSAs) of $2500 (Currently, there is no
federal government limit). There is one group of FSA owners for whom this
new cap will be particularly cruel and onerous: parents of special needs
children. There are thousands of families with special needs children in
the United States, and many of them use FSAs to pay for special needs
education. Tuition rates at one leading school that teaches special needs
children in Washington, D.C. (National Child Research Center) can easily
exceed $14,000 per year. Under tax rules, FSA dollars can be used to pay
for this type of special needs education.
The HSA Withdrawal Tax Hike. This provision of Obamacare increases the
additional tax on non-medical early withdrawals from an HSA from 10 to 20
percent, disadvantaging them relative to IRAs and other tax-advantaged
accounts, which remain at 10 percent.
When Americans prepare to file their tax returns in January of 2011, they¶ll
be in for a nasty surprise²the AMT won¶t be held harmless, and many tax
relief provisions will have expired. The major items include:
The AMT will ensnare over 28 million families, up from 4 million last year.
According to the left-leaning Tax Policy Center, Congress¶ failure to index
the AMT will lead to an explosion of AMT taxpaying families²rising from 4
million last year to 28.5 million. These families will have to calculate their
tax burdens twice, and pay taxes at the higher level. The AMT was created
in 1969 to ensnare a handful of taxpayers.
Taxes will be raised on all types of businesses. There are literally scores of
tax hikes on business that will take place. The biggest is the loss of the
³research and experimentation tax credit,´ but there are many, many
others. Combining high marginal tax rates with the loss of this tax relief
will cost jobs.
Tax Benefits for Education and Teaching Reduced. The deduction for
tuition and fees will not be available. Tax credits for education will be
limited. Teachers will no longer be able to deduct classroom expenses.
Coverdell Education Savings Accounts will be cut. Employer-provided
educational assistance is curtailed. The student loan interest deduction
will be disallowed for hundreds of thousands of families.

the mood is definitely more negative now: [chart]
7
$ There were many events contributing to yesterday¶s
sell-off, and the most likely culprits around the globe included more
protests in Greece, continued to concerns about Europe at large, and a
downward revision (due to a calculation error) of a leading economic
indicator reading in China for the month of April. But when it comes down
to it, our own economy has yet to stand on solid ground. While the
recovery has continued to be shaky at best, recent economic readings may
be pointing to a double dip recession. Yesterday¶s batch of economic data
seemed to be confirming that, as it brought a very dismal reading on
consumer confidence. June¶s number stood at 52.9, far below expectations
of 62.5, and pointing to the consumers¶ weariness about the job market,
and economic recovery in general. To go further, the previous reading for
May was revised downward, to 62.7 from 63.3. But the drop from May to
June really sends the message home: we¶re not out of the woods yet.
Earlier in the week, we saw personal savings rates rise again, even while
personal income growth was meager. Americans, despite bringing home a
little more cash, continued to save more for the expected rainy days, and
have yet to return to their spendthrift ways. After yesterday¶s precipitous
selling, one would expect to see a bit of a bounce in today¶s trading
session. That wasn¶t the case, however, as more weak data continued to
dampen economic hopes. Today¶s culprit was the ADP private sector job
report. The report stated that private payroll gains were muted in June, with
only 13,000 jobs added ± far less than the 60,000 expected by economists.
While May¶s reading was revised slightly upwards (to 57,000 hires from
previously reported 55,000), today¶s release does not bode well for the
much anticipated report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics due out on
Friday. The non-farms payroll survey includes government workers and
has been inflated in recent months due to hiring for the 2010 Census «
[chart] «The June report, however, will reflect many of those workers
being laid off in the past month. In May, 431,000 jobs were added, but
without support from temporary government hires, economists are
predicting job losses in June. Last week, consensus estimates were for a
loss of 70,000 jobs for the month. By yesterday, those estimates were
downgraded further, to 110,000. With the help of today¶s ADP report,
expectations have continued to fall: economists now expect a reading of
negative 125,000 «

#( -Barron's has a nice
summary of what the future may hold in its "Up and Down Wall Street." It
summarizes as well as anything I've read recently where we're likely
headed. Bugging the (stock) market is the increasingly obvious disparity
between what the Street's incorrigible cheerleaders see and prophesy and
what's actually happening in the real world...The double dip in housing may
or may not be a template of what's in store for the economy as a whole. But
at the very least, it is a precursor of other serious disappointments
destined to feed the unease among the jittery populace, which most
emphatically includes investors.
That about sums up the outlook. The nice insight here is that anxiety over
future economic malaise -- and the additional money printing that'll be
done to mask it -- might be a bigger factor than current inflationary
pressure behind the surge in gold prices.
In other words, for the deflation-believers: deflation today? Perhaps. But
big-time inflation tomorrow.

Russell: This Is One Of The Largest Tops In Stock Market History Richard
Russell has grown very vocally bearish in recent months. Earlier this year,
Russell warned that the stock market was once again becoming grossly
overvalued despite its relentless new highs. Pragmatic Capitalism June 24,
2010 Richard Russell has grown very vocally bearish in recent months.
Earlier this year, Russell warned that the stock market was once again
becoming grossly overvalued despite its relentless new highs. He has
maintained that the bear market never ended and that the world is far too
indebted to exit the bear market. He also believes the bear will not end
until all fiat currencies have failed. Although I disagree with him on many
aspects of the micro I agree with his larger macro outlook. This bear
market is not over. The secular bear market lives on. Mr. Russell thinks we
might be on the verge of a terrible collapse:
³We¶re now in the process of building one of the largest tops in stock
market history. The result, I think, will be the most disastrous bear market
since the µ30s, and maybe worse.
Question: ³What could possibly be behind such a bear market?´ you ask.
³The stock market is stirring up optimism on a weekly, if not daily basis, by
not falling apart.´
Answer: This is the ³rest´ or ³dead zone´ I was talking about. Bear markets
don¶t conclude in a day, a week or a month. Months will go by, often adding
to the bulls¶ optimism.I think the key element behind this great bear market
will be the complete destruction of all fiat currencies. This has been a long
time coming. Fiat currencies are ³wealth´ created by man. They are created
without sacrifice, without labor, without risk, and without sweat. Basically
they are an immoral device, created by secretive bankers. If you watch the
figures carefully, you¶ll note the subtle deterioration. For instance, the
advance-decline ratio, although up slightly for the week, had a relatively
weak performance with the Dow up several hundred points over the course
of the week. And we broke the trendline in May (see the chart below
showing the cumulative advance-decline line for NYSE Common Stock
only, which is what we publish in our figures (courtesy of DecisionPoint ²
www.decisionpoint.com). The vertical lines are Jan 2008, Jan 2009 and Jan
2010 as you move to the right on the chart. [CHART] My old friend, Bob
Prechter, is talking about Dow 400. I used to think this was an absurd joke.
I no longer think it¶s a joke. The ultimate result will be a primary bear
market shocking in duration and extent. Ǧ

@The last two weekly market commentaries have discussed how the
underlying trend of the market is now bearish and all rallies should be used
to sell stocks and reduce risks. With nearly every news outlet spouting the
bullish storyline, these articles served as an outline of a disciplined
investment strategy. Those who followed the outline have done well as the
Dow Jones Industrial Average (Dow), S&P 500, and NASDAQ each declined
over 5% since my initial warning. With the Dow still stuck below the
psychologically important 10,000 level and all three major U.S. markets
trading beneath their 200-day moving averages (MA), the bearish backdrop
is clear. Even if many are still looking for a rally, we should understand that
the primary trend is lower. Instead of focusing on how high prices will rally,
we should instead consider how much further prices can fall Ǧ

year, we've written a lot about the similarity between the rally of early 1930

after the market had fallen nearly 50% in the fall of 1929. The spring 1930
rally took the market up nearly 50% again, to a level that was only about
20% below the previous peak. That rally, of course, was also the biggest
sucker's rally in history. After the market peaked in April 1930, it crashed
again, eventually ending up down 89% from the 1929 high and more than
80% from the 1930 high. The market did not reach the 1930 high again for
another quarter of a century. The rally that recently ended in April 2010
came after a crash that was actually slightly more severe than the 1929
crash (53% versus 48%). It took the market up nearly 80% from the low! The
recent rally also lasted longer than the 1930 rally did--a year, as opposed to
6 months « ]

THE FORECASTS:
Harry Dent, Jr. Economy will be in a Depression by 2011
The worst of this next depression is likely to hit between mid-2010 and mid-
2013, especially around early 2011, but if the banking system continues to
implode a deep downturn or depression could begin sometime in 2009
instead of 2010.
Dow will Fall to 3,800 ± 4,500 by 2012
Nasdaq will Fall Below 1,100, its 2002 low, by late 2010 or mid-2012 at the
latest.
Inflation will Increase until mid- 2010 and then turn to Deflation
Interest Rates will Increase
U.S. Dollar will Decline
Housing will Decline by 40 ± 60% from Today¶s Levels
Greatest Economic and Banking Crisis since the 1930s will Occur Between

Russell Napier is the author of the book ³Anatomy of the Bear´, a professor
at the Edinburgh Business School and a consultant to CLSA Ltd. which is
one of the top research houses in Asia. Napier¶s research indicates (and I
paraphrase) that: The S&P 500 will Decline to 400 by 2014 (the Dow 30 to
3800)
The S&P 500 will then undergo a major crash that will see U.S. equity
prices bottom at almost 50% below current levels (i.e. to 400 or less; the
Dow 30 to 3800 or less) sometime around 2014 as Tobin¶s ³q´ drops to 0.3

largest U.S. market declines in 1921, 1932, 1949 and 1982.

earthquake, brought about by a great asset mania, that would register 11

and ³Conquer the Crash: You can Survive and Prosper in a Deflationary
Depression´ (2002) in which he described the economic cataclysm that we

yesterday the downward revision to previous market-frothing retail sales
report and poor retail sales and plunge in mortgage applications and then
there¶s the fed minutes pointing to extended bad economy. Then there¶s
also now the µgoldfinger factor¶ as in goldman¶s middle finger. When you
defraud for many billions, paying $550 million is chump change. Goldman
shares rocketed 5.5% in after-hours trading. No wonder Goldman called it
"the right outcome for our firm shareholders and clients." (Absent
prosecutions, they¶ll continue to do what comes natural to frauds on wall
street). Great opportunity to sell / take profits since much worse, also

War in Afghanistan and Iraq costs America $1trillion From the Old | On May
30th at 10:06 the United States reached the point where they have spent
$1trillion on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Sinking of the Cheonan:
A Classic False Flag Operation Russia Today | Sinking of the warship was
really intended to convince Japan not to move US forces off Okinawa as
well as divert the attention of Americans from the dire economic situation
at home. . Israel: IDF Troops Who Murdered Unarmed Innocent People
Are µBrave Heroes¶ The government of israel, aided by many quarters of
the international media, is attempting to spin today¶s deadly IDF assault on
a humanitarian aid ship carrying supplies to Gaza as the fault of the
murdered activists on board the vessel, ludicrously characterizing
machine-gun carrying Israeli troops who killed over a dozen innocent
people as the victims of the incident.
Murder on the high seas JERUSALEM: Israeli marines stormed aid ships
bound for Gaza on Monday and at least 10 rights activists were killed,
triggering a diplomatic crisis and an emergency session of the UN Security
Council. European nations, as well as the United Nations and Turkey,
voiced shock and outrage at the bloody end to the international
campaigners' bid to break Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip

Sen. Levin urges State Department to put Afghan Taliban on list of terror
groups (Washington Post) Oooooh! « Sounds like a plan « and emanating
from washington (and a thriving Michigan jew no less) « who says they
don¶t do anything? « And, consistent with that apocalyptic vision set forth
in the Bible [albeit a book of truth from a very limited perspective (for which
literal interpretations are misleading); after all, the Wise Men thought it was
a movable star that was guiding them and shone the bright µspotlight¶ upon
the manger with the Christ]; the jews and some other entity against the rest
of the world for that final Armageddon « oh, they¶ll make that happen « it
gets them through their day with every step closer to apocalypse but not to
the place called heaven will they go. The end of this world? You might say
america / israel / and theirs are feverishly working on just that, one way or
another!
