Mainstream Media - The Blind Leading the Clueless / Politics / Mainstream Media
By: Submissions
Jeff Thomas writes: Most of us watch television. In part, we seek to be entertained, but, additionally, we often seek to be enlightened as to “what’s going on.” In a difficult era like the present one, in which some of the most prominent countries are experiencing the onset of an economic crisis, virtual cartoon characters are competing as choices in political contests, governments are becoming increasingly rapacious and a police state is developing rapidly, it’s not surprising if the average person questions, “What on earth are they thinking?”Read full article...

How to Profit From These Massive, Brexit-Induced Trends / Politics / BrExit
By: Casey_Research
By Justin Spittler
Editor's note: Yesterday, Casey Research founder Doug Casey shared his thoughts on the Brexit.
Today, in part two, he lays out the major trends the Brexit will accelerate…and explains how you can set yourself up to profit from them…
This has the makings of a classic speculative opportunity—one where politically caused distortions are liquidated and prices readjust. But a word of caution. It’s going to take place within the context of the Greater Depression. And, as Richard Russell, who lived through the last depression, observed: In a depression, nobody wins. The winner is just the person who loses the least.

Asset Bubbles Tend to Crash with a Vengeance / Stock-Markets / Liquidity Bubble
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Despite short-term memory loss affecting most investors, asset bubbles tend to crash with a vengeance. From over-valuation, risk ignorance, and reactionary sentiment, the current bubble-trifecta shows signs of turning over.
The monetary powers that be have succeeded in creating serial asset bubbles. Each is extending from the great expansion of credit pivoting on the last official dollar default in 1971.
And yet once, again we are bombarded with the mantra: “This time it’s different”.

False Information, Mass Psychology & this Hated Stocks Market Bull / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Sol_Palha
As long as you keep a person down, some part of you has to be down there to hold him down, so it means you cannot soar as you otherwise might. Marian Anderson
Regarding today’s news, the average person is inundated with unnecessary junk. On any given day you will find experts telling you why the markets are destined to soar and or crash. News outlets are desperate for eyeballs, so they are going out of their way to make titles bombastic, and or offering multiple scenarios so that when one of them comes to pass, they can proudly state we told you so.

How To Use the XAU-To-Gold and HUI-To-Gold Ratios / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016
By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
The gold miners-to-gold ratios are indicators that show how many gold ounces are required to purchase one share of an index. Technically, the numbers are the value of the index divided by the price of gold. They show a relative value of miners to the price of bullion, thus indicating whether gold stocks or gold are overvalued or undervalued relative to each other. When the ratios are low, miners are cheap compared to gold, and when the numbers are high, gold stocks look expensive relative to bullion.

Retirees Are Risking Their Life Savings on Junk Bonds / Interest-Rates / Pensions & Retirement
By: John_Mauldin
Retirees and other investors are reaching farther and farther for yield. They’re piling into all sorts of increasingly risky investments. So, it should come as no surprise that credit spreads are shrinking between what in theory are risk-free investments and other investments.
My friend Danielle DiMartino Booth, formerly at the Dallas Fed, covers a range of topics affected by central-bank policies. I think she is going to be an increasingly visible force in the world of central bank critics.

A Cornered Bank of Japan Shocks Markets. Risk Assets Now Under Threat - Video / Interest-Rates / Japanese Interest Rates
By: Mario_Innecco
I just like to talk about the bank of japan they had a policy meeting today
like the equivalent of the FOMC for the Fed the news came out at a quarter to
midnight sorry quarter to midnight yet new york time or quarter to five a.m. london time
so it actually came out yesterday New York and today in London but that's not
the point a lot of people i think the majority of economist in Japan were expecting a big
surprise by the bank of japan in terms of in terms of lowering even more their
negative interest rates and increasing the size of QE bottom as i read here
from news headlines zerohedge for example says bank of japan shocks market shuns government pressure
leaves q we r & rates unchanged questions policy effectiveness
there's more here from investing.com yen jumps after boj easing fall short of
expectation there is a new stimulus package though the government has
announced after the meeting we've seen new stimulus package by the bank of japan and it's includes a
hundred and thirty billion dollars in fiscal measures

Is the Stock Market Tape Being Painted for Hillary? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Clif_Droke
In the old-school lexicon of Wall Street, the term "painting the tape" referred to the large scale purchase of market-moving stocks by insiders for the purpose of giving the market an appearance of strength. Painting the tape was practiced by "pools" and large firms who were in the know; it was designed primarily to present a picture of strength when there was an undercurrent of weakness. Painting the tape was also done in some cases to trick amateur traders into buying certain individual stocks by means of manipulating the stock's trading volume.

SPX is Shaking and Rolling / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
I don’t believe that I have seen anything quite like this before. I am certain that Citadel and the central banks are doing their utmost to keep equity values at their elevated levels. It appears to be the only thing left to do to validate their existence.
Nonetheless, there appear to be cracks in the structure leading to a possible breakdown. All of this reminds me of the Tacoma Narrows bridge, otherwise known as “Galloping Gertie.”
