Magic. Do you believe in..........from Rico
There was an "old" [read: classic] song entitled "Do You Believe In Magic?"
The COMEX (not for no reason called the CRIMEX by those in the business) had significant "call " options at $1200 spot price for gold expiring today.
Funny, but gold traded just below $1200 spot price (sometimes merely $0.50 below) ALL day.
Once these "call" options (the "puts" too, in fairness) expired as 'worthless' after market close, gold seems now "allowed" to trade above $1,200.
Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot (WTF)?
Obvious. Blatant.
- Market manipulation, for you fiddy-two percenters a.k.a. Democrats (C).
There was an old (classic) B/W TV show once called "Car 54 Where Are You?" which could be re-done today entitled "CFTC Where Are You?"
Movie Review: '300'
Short Review: Unequivocally the only movie ever made about screaming, half-naked, greased up men that is worth seeing .

Recoveryists.............from Rico
If it's OK to dismissively label people with serious questions about Obama-Soetoro's true status as "birthers" then I am going to take the position that anyone who actually has their heads so deeply into cranial-rectal defilade as to believe in the much-vaunted recovery as "recoveryists."
Sentient life forms view the "recovery" Koolaid being ladled out in massive doses by the Red Shed (White House), Congress (the Party Congress) and the Ministry of Truth (the financial and MSM) with utter disbelief.
Fear of drowning in a sea of sovereign and corporate red-ink has made this global sell-off NOT a "flight to safety" but a headlong rush into "liquidity" away from paper assets (equities and bonds), making days like this good for only two things:
- The Puma Index
- A Guinness ...or two or three.

Shaping The Battlefield
Sweet! Great Satan is fixing to turn asymmetrical warfare into an an art form anywhere the enemies of fun and free choice hang, reload and resupply:
"...Top American commander in the Middle East has ordered a broad expansion of clandestine military activity in an effort to disrupt militant groups or counter threats in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and other countries in the region.
"...Officials said the order also permits reconnaissance that could pave the way for possible military strikes in Iran if tensions over its nuclear ambitions escalate.
"...Its goals are to build networks that could “penetrate, disrupt, defeat or destroy” Al Qaeda and other militant groups, as well as to “prepare the environment” for future attacks by American military forces.
Oh Snap! Somebody best alert a certain loser lover cry baby so he can 'Rethink AFPAK" with an eye to be in it to win it.

The 1929 model or the Japanese model?.............from Rico
I cannot yet tell whether there is another "crash" ahead vis 1929, or if we will copy the Japanese model.
It's NOT getting better, despite the cheeleading and applause from the financial and mainstream media. I think the soundtrack is dubbed. Fake. We are not coming out of the Great Recession, and the question is "would you like two scoops or three?" on the crap sandwich we are all going to be taking a huge bite from.
- The EUrozone is swirling the ceramic bowl and will take U.S. corporate profits along for the ride.
- Thirty two States are officially bankrupt and borrowing from Treasury to fund unemployment benefits.
- Jobs will continue to be shed, and the expiry of ARRA in a week tells me that millions will be losing unemployment benefits. The extension clock may have run out for the long-term unemployed. There will be no extensions for the recently unemployed.
- We are heading for a 'new' wave of mortgage rate resets, and I think housing may implode.
Batten-down the hatches, mateys!!!
Root, Hog or Rebel
Root, hog, or die. Just that simple, if western civilization is to survive, and remain vital. There is no way around it. one does not prosper and flourish when killed. one rots, and is forgotten. If you know a way to avoid the consequence of these truths . . . . a resolution of this paradox, on this earth . . . . pray elucidate and illuminate me, and i will be grateful. Paradox
Hey, from Washington Rebel
