Shanghai Composite (weekly info)
-no change
trend=down
low= 2715.29
rev= 2842.43; mid= 2778.86

Starting to turn bullish as it has closed above the weekly 3LB mid so far this week. Not sure why since their government economic reports are as manipulated as ours. We may have built more homes than needed but they have built cities that aren't occupied.

You are right, I wasn't alive during the 70's, but it's not relevant anyway. Do you see a decline in the M3 chart like we see now in the 1970's? I don't. That's when it just started to go parabolic.

Here's another thing, food prices could plummet and people still won't be able to afford them, just like during the depression. In late 2008 and early 09 lots of people weren't all of the sudden on easy street because gas and other commodity prices got destroyed.; February 3, 2011 at 2:24 PM

ben22 said...: the Fees thing is spot on, most people want you to work for free, but that's a lot of things that are like that, everyone wants something for nothing. Suze Orman thing was also hilarious.

I had it out with an uncle over the holidays about this when he gave me the snide remark of

"you make money off other people's money"

My uncle and his wife, they are public school teachers, I tried to calmly explain to him that people WILLINGLY pay me to manage their money, not quite so when it comes to his salary or benefits, or retirement funds, this caught them off guard for perhaps 30 seconds before the volcanic eruption that followed.

It was especially bad when I explained that the people I work for also had the ability to assess me every day and whether or not I was doing a good job, and if I wasn't they could simply walk away, then I asked him how all the parents at the school were able to assess him and what their alternatives were if they didn't think he was doing a good enough job.

CV said...: @ben

I realize that we're having different arguments...

I'm just coming at it from a RELEVANCE perspective...

One could come at me all day with M3 charts to prove a point, but what's RELEVANT to me is what's happening in real life...

The average snowfall in Chicago from Fall to April is 38 inches... So tell me how RELEVANT that is to a Chicagoan who is digging out this week from 7 foot snow banks (as AHAB & myself would tell you we were doing in DC here last year)...

---

My longer term point is, that based on behavioral patterns of the most recent "CRASHES", the POLICY RESPONSE has been to flood liquidity into the system...

Though we both know that that is uttely flawed, it doesn't stop whatever can be squeezed out of that response into putting a bid into something...

Take your famous 2008 collapse for instance...

No go take a look at what "caught a bid" first in the aftermath... Most of it was in the commodity sector...

Now, in 2011, many have surpassed the 2008 bubble... The S&P??? No...

So great... Pop the bubble again, let things DEFLATE again (commodities will be the BETA - surely)... But when we get to the TEOTWAWKI moment again next time... I'd expect a rinse & repeat of 2008...

So we'll be here in 2014 talking about $8 Cheerios (after the round trip to $4)...

Where will the S&P be?

Oh - probably somewhere between ANDY T's waggly ABCDE-x pattern that he drew out last week...

Which means?

Once again... You have the same bank balance - it buys less...

Nickles bitchez! (at least if copper goes down 50% - before REGAINING 150% - I only paid face value for a roll of them)... And who knows? Maybe someday there actually will be a shortage of copper...; February 3, 2011 at 2:33 PM

karen said...: http://archive.aweber.com/decarleybond/23LAR/h/Bonds_could_be_bottoming.htm

Tomorrow morning the government will release the latest data on the jobs front. Analysts are expecting nonfarm payrolls to have seen an increase of about 150,000 jobs and the unemployment rate of 9.5% (a tick higher than last month). According to Ben Bernanke today, "we are seeing some encouraging job market signs." Despite the Fed's optimism, there seems to be some market jitters.
The monthly employment data often triggers pent up market volatility and can sometimes be a catalyst for a reversal. We can't help but think the market might make one more probing low (just to torture the remaining bulls) before turning around and the employment report might be the event that makes this a reality. If so, look for a plunge below 118 in the 30-year bond before or after the news for a place to be bullish. If it turns out to be a non-event...all bets are off and back to range trading we will go.; February 3, 2011 at 2:55 PM

Good story, the point of using lottery "winnings" to launder money is a good one, if not explained enough.

About 10 years ago in NYS there was a "mistake" made with Quickdraw, the keno thing that runs all day long. They had a monthly special where there were "double payouts" on tuesdays. If you ran the numbers, on one spot there was a positive payout, on the order of 1.2-1.3 to 1.

Some guys in Northern NY figured it out, and showed up two weeks in a row to several different bars with over 500k a piece in cash. They then filled out tickets all day.

The "double payout tuesday" was stopped two weeks early.; February 3, 2011 at 3:12 PM

I think seeing total money supply decline that fast for the first time since the depression is, yes, relevant. That you immediately drew a comparison to the 70's is also interesting.

There's a DIFFERENCE between comparing a decrease in money supply in the 30's to the 70's...

The difference is Bretton Woods... & the different nuances brought about that... I don't want to make a MACRO statement about that at the moment... Just say that it's a DIFFERENT comparison...

As for what you said about the money in the bank, not really correct, if we deflate on the credit side notes will be far more valuable, there are hardly any of them compared to credits, it'd be one thing if I were just forecasting that but it just happened, so I don't need to prove anything.

Notes more valuable during DEFLATION?

Let me ask you a simple hypothetical question...

How much does the LAST GALLON OF MILK on the store shelf cost? Answer: "x" UNOBTANIUMS...

and if you think that's a stupid or irrelevant question... Here's another...

How much PROFIT is there in bring milk to store shelves [for masses] in an environment where there were no credits, and only few people with these notes

CIM is even better in a weakish economy as MBB will benefit from falling rates. Neither of these stocks is over-owned or overvalued at P/E of 6, and then there are those 15-16% divvys.

Mortgages: MBB -0.18%
Hedgies: TBT 1.62%

We have been patiently waiting for a day (or days) like this. Bond bears massively outnumber bond bulls, and the prevalence of DGDF talk, commodity über-bulls, and US default mongerers among the talking heads suggested to us that we are close to a sentiment extreme.

So we were buying big. We bought TLT, we bought LQD, we bought AGG. Our total FI exposure is now 42% and we can go to 50% or more.

We are also short EEM. The last sell-off was much more extreme in EMs than in SPY, so we prefer to express our bearishness in this way.; February 3, 2011 at 4:29 PM

NLY - commercial backed mortgage REIT.

I get my p/e from bloomie.

NLY issued new shares recently, they have done that often.
These stocks issue to raise cash to buy more assets.

You get the divvy, price doesn't do much, it's like a bond.; February 3, 2011 at 5:24 PM
