@Mutt (from other thread)...

Of course the banks have the credit card data in front of them, so obviously they would know what percentage of people are delinquent on their CC Bills, but with unemployement being as high as it is for as long as it has been that the banks are liking what they are seeing from the consumer, so it would be hightly unlikely that they would be increasing the avaible balance.

And with the massive amount of debt that most people owe, it would not make too much sense that after spending years paying down their CC Debt and finally getting a taste of the freedom of not owing so much money consumers would willing get back into debt.

I am curious as to where and why that number is as high as it is?

Pardon me... but Are you FKme?

Please don't tell me that you think that US consumer debt has, anymore, any potent relevance with regards to ANY consumer debt issues...

Banks effin WRITE OFF consumer debt faster than the blink of an eye... CC debt is basically unsecured... They SELL it in a nanosecond to some COLLECTION AGENCY cum LAW FIRM for 5 cents on the dollar... A person could default on their unsecured credit cards & within six months, the same fucking issuing bank will be spamming their letter box with a new credit card offer...

Thanks to the US taxpayer... ALL BANK LOSSES are forever (socialized), who collects (or doesn't) in a secondary market is largely irrelevant (relevant, in fact, only to dweebs on Wall St. who track consumer spending and need those numbers to justify their bloated valuations & forecasts so they can make it seem like the S&P itself is relevant, which it ISN'T, because it's based on bogus numbers valued in a collapsing fiat regime)... Get with the program...

cv said...

Even IF any of the above was relevant... It's a MOLECULE in the SEA of DEBT (& debt derivatives) out there...

You might as well be worried about if your kid shits in the ocean, then it will lead to global pollution...

Cvienne - I am not worried about my kids' poo leading to global pollution as he only leaves clean turds :)

I was coming at it from a logical view point and had not taken into concideration the fact that banks act in very illogical ways, your arguement of write offs makes sense, so in affect they are issuing higher limits (Although through the form of write offs)

And I well realize 40 odd Billion is small patatoes (Yes patatoe with an "e") compared to the 600 or so Trillion sitting out there....Somewhere.

FWIW... Here's Louise Yamada's take On Au/Ag (in reference to your weekend thread)...

I'll continue to stick by my MACRO view that Euro:Gold are joined at the hip as we speak...

What that means (in terms of $ price) is unclear... But as it applies to your charts, let me explain it this way...

IF gold struggles to "break out" this year, it'll likely be because it is ball & chained to the Euro... ACTUALLY - I liked your charts because they left room for a possible new high to happen in Au within the next few months (I think - I confess I only studied your charts by quick glance)...

So my paper napkin would say that IF the Euro finds itself OVERSOLD here (by way of an unwinding of Euro shorts)... Gold ought to get a bounce (assuming my Euro:Gold thesis is accurate)... Naturally - Gold bugs would point to a new high (& potentially a rally in Ag, as the next chapter of central bank failure ~ but I don't see it that way)...

If you don't know WTF I'm talking about, I'm basically saying that the 'setup' (based on my personal macro)... Is that your WAVE COUNTS are very correct... Gold hitting new highs (kind of 'soonish')... Silver NOT hitting new highs (yet)... Then a big pullback (in both)...

I'd still want to own BOTH though (phyzz)...

---

Euro:Gold are joined at the hip because the NWO can't let the Euro die... It's as simple as that... It has to stay together at least until the 2012 elections are in the books...

What happens beyond 2013 is out of my crystal ball...

TPTB need to have their puppet (his name is 'Obama', if you didn't know) in place, to be able to start doing currency re-sets & bank holidays & such...

So all in all, I guess it'll be a decent year to trade Pokemon cards...

Might as well just round it up to a QUADRILLION & call it a day...

& as for A QUADRILLION... Have you ever heard of exponential functions (which I refer to as the "going forward" theory... which is, otherwise, to say... "Do you think it's going to STOP at a quadrillion)...

Either way... It doesn't really matter... YOU WILL hear about it... Because all those NOTES will be dropped on your front yard eventually...

That's... of course... so you can have A QUADRILLION "matching twins" of the $10,000 of the same notes stuffed into your home vault, 401k, bank account, or whatever...

Me?... I'd rather have a rototiller & a gallon of gas...

@ahab & ironworker: from previous thread -- Toby Connor is another name for Gary Savage, who runs the Smart Money Tracker blog. I've been a subscriber to his premium service for years (remember my little problem w/ subscription services?) Anyway, he's good. He has an interesting approach, some TA, lots of cycle stuff, NO EW at all. He got a little carried away back in May last year and some of his mindless followers got burned bad in a leveraged silver trade, so he plays it super cautious now. He's all PMs all the time so if that's what you're interested in, he's a good source.

CV -- haven't clicked on the Louise link yet, but thanks for posting it. Always interested in what she has to say. Curiously, the spam from EWI today was all about the Au/Ag ratio, but since I haven't gotten the EWFF in almost 2 years I'll have to hope someone else sumarizes it for me (or just guess -- P3 is starting VERY SOON.)

AT -- thanks for the charts.

Happy New Year to all!

@Jennifer

Happy New Year to you... Louise Yamada was always one of my favorites (& I think, if you look at it closely enough - she somewhat aligns with Andy T there [on Au]... if I'm reading it right)...

@ AAIP

If you're curious... How can anybody NOT take LSU (+2.5) tonight... Frankly (& officially), I'm OFF the game tonight, but I'd take the pins...

What's probably MORE interesting would be the OVER... I say that mostly with the possibility of overtime (or multiple overtimes), which can add up points quickly...

Of course, that would make you be biting your nuts all game... but that's where the "FUN" is...

You know... THE FUN!...

LSU is Under-rated.

OMG the size of #76 for Alabama (the O line). What is in the food these days.

Andy T said...

I'm so glad for that result in the so-called "title game."

It should now usher in some changes to the BCS format.

We should get, at minimum, a four team playoff now.

That was abysmal.

That was as shitty a BCS title game as I've ever seen.

Horrible.

"Turrible," as Charles Barkley might say.

That was so bad ....

Love how Brent (Minister of Propaganda) Musberger proclaimed at the end of the game....

"there will now be no doubt who the best team in the nation is..."

Wha?!?

I think there are people at OkState, Stanford, USC, Boise State that might differ....

What a crock of shit.

Shaking head. Going to bed now....

"Love how Brent (Minister of Propaganda) Musberger proclaimed at the end of the game....

and, again..(x2)

It never occurred to me to wonder ~"Who's going to be in the 'Announcer's Booth' (for the Game)...

when I heard Musberger, before kick-off, I was like 'wtf? Musberger? is announcing this Game? O no..~'

good thing I only bothered to watch the first Quarter, and a half..

BCS Title Game = zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Brent Musberger = zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzx2

In any case... It all proves a point...

When you use hyperbole to describe something (as they'd billed the regular season Alabama-LSU game as the GAME OF THE CENTURY back in Nov...

& if the game turns out to be a dud (which it WAS - even though it went to OT... First OT game I remember ever watching that was actually boring)...

In any case... If something FAILS... drumroll...

Do it again! (crash cymbals)...

cv said...

Because in any case... Since they like hyperbole so much... a "run of the mill" FAIL becomes... drumroll

AN EPIC FAIL!!!!

SPX back above the Oct 2011 highs and yet the EU situation is worse. Also earnings will be WTE (even with the revised lower estimates). Nothing significant from the Merkozy meeting either.

AmenRa said...

We're into Andy's resistance area. Batten down the hatches.

Andy T said...

not really a peaking pattern up there....

probably a little more to go on the sp500

Andy T said...

Actually. I spy a rising wedge pattern on the sp500 60 min chart.
