Investors who believe this is a beginning of a new bull market in stocks will be in for a rude awakening when the next wave of SELLING kicks in. We are experiencing a typical Bear Market Rally that is pulling in lots of Suckers -Steve Rocco
You might think that parking your money in a big bank like JP Morgan Chase would insulate you from fraud. It’s just the opposite. The big banks are the biggest perpetrators of financial fraud – fraud that affects millions of us, either directly or indirectly, on an ongoing basis. While they are wrist slaps when properly scaled, you can see the list of 'settlements' made between the government and the big banks here. These 'settlements,' the aftermath of Wall Street's near production of a second Great Depression, entailed not a single criminal indictment. The top two repositories of banksters, based on the number of settlements, are Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase. The banks engage in fraud for two reasons.

In his initial experiments, Pavlov rang a bell and then gave the dog food; after a few repetitions, the dogs started to salivate in response to the bell. Pavlov called the bell the conditioned stimulus because its effects depend on its association with food. As related to the stock market (February 2009-August 2022), every time stocks dipped, bears thought "this was the one". Yet, every dip was nothing more than a bell-ringing buy opportunity, often times coupled with lovie-dovie statements by someone on the Fed. Even minor dips were bell-ringers!
So far.

The European Central Bank can either bail out Italy or save its credibility in Germany. It will struggle to do both. With inflation running at a 50-year high in Germany, 14% in the Netherlands, and 25% in Estonia, it is politically impossible to keep mopping up Italy's debt issuance under the guise of monetary policy. The euro's crash to dollar parity has been the last straw. The Bundesbank has lost patience. The ECB is in the worst internal disarray since the depths of the eurozone debt crisis. Hawks and doves are contradicting each other daily on fundamental strategy. Markets have no idea how the new ‘anti-spread’ tool (TPI) to protect Italy is supposed to work, or whether it is legal outside an emergency. “It is a complete shambles. Christine Lagarde has lost control and is not showing any leadership,” said one source close to the Bundesbank. Mrs Lagarde did not attend the central bankers’ forum in Jackson Hole. The vacuum has been filled by Isabel Schnabel, Germany’s member of the executive council, who has returned to her Bundesbank roots after a fateful dalliance with ultra-loose money...

Gold is the ticket out of the central banksters system, the escape from coercive central bank & government power. As an independent currency, a currency to which investors can resort when they are dissatisfied with governments!

'...Let us simplify those two paragraphs for you. There is dangerous gambling going on in taxpayer-backstopped, federally-insured commercial banks – on a par with the derivatives crisis that blew up the U.S. financial system in 2008. Even more frightening, the latest OCC report shares this: “A small group of large financial institutions continues to dominate trading and derivatives activity in the U.S. commercial banking system. During the second quarter of 2022, four large commercial banks represented 88.9 percent of the total banking industry notional amounts and 66.0 percent of industry net current credit exposure (NCCE).” Those banks are: JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Citigroup’s Citibank, and Bank of America.
That’s where the bulk of the risks are in the commercial banks. But Morgan Stanley is also one of the largest derivative dealers with total notional (face amount) in derivatives of $35.4 trillion as of June 30. Morgan Stanley holds its derivatives at its bank holding company rather than at the two federally-insured banks it owns. That might make Morgan Stanley easier to unwind in a crisis but it doesn’t make its ability to spread contagion throughout the financial system any less dangerous. Each of its derivative trades has a counterparty on the hook for potential losses. These five financial institutions represent 84 percent of all derivatives held at the 25 largest bank holding companies in the United States. And it is highly likely that some of the counterparties on the other side of these derivative trades are not going to be in a position to make good on the trades if things go further south. We’re thinking of Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse, whose share prices are now both in the single digits and have been on a swoon for a decade...'
Not all sociopaths wield knives and knotted cords. Some wear suits and are articulate. Obsessively driven, they use the law for their advantage. Lawlessness is their addiction, their will to power. What they want is to fill the emptiness in their being by consuming others. They find no commonality with the ordinary contentment of life, because of their alienation from all that is human. This is the undeniable lesson of the last century. There are monsters, and they walk among us. - Jesse
You would think a hotter than “expected” inflation report and the stock market dropping 1200 points (the worst day since 2020) would be the most newsworthy event of the day, certainly the top concern to the vast majority of Americans. But take a peek of the CNN & MSNBC front pages while this was happening. To summarize: CNN – 7 stories on the Queen of England, 3 on Russia/Ukraine, 1 on Elon Musk, 1 on Kelly Ripa passing out during sex, 0 on the market/inflation. MSNBC – 6 stories on Trump, 1 on abortion, 1 on Russia/Ukraine, 1 on Covid, 5 on threats to Democrat one-party rule, 0 on the market/inflation. This is the ONLY way Democrats stay in power. Leftists simply are NOT presented the real world.

Paper money printed up by Western nations will not heat homes or feed anyone in the world, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday. “People cannot be fed with printed dollars and euros, they cannot be fed with these pieces of paper,” Putin said during the ceremony for the accession of the two Donbass republics and the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions into Russia. “All this is important, what I’m talking about, but what was just said is no less important – you can’t feed anyone with paper, you need food.” The president noted that EU politicians have been trying to convince people to eat less, wash up less, and dress warmer in their homes to conserve energy. “And those who start asking fair questions on why this is so are immediately declared enemies, extremists, and radicals,” he said. Putin also reiterated his criticism of the Ukrainian grain deal mediated by the UN and Türkiye, which allows Kiev to export food via the Black Sea, saying it is not working as intended, as the shipments do little to alleviate food shortages in needy nations. “They are now exporting bread from Ukraine… under the pretext of ensuring food security for the poorest countries in the world. Where does it go? … everything goes to the same European countries, with only 5% sent to the poorest countries in the world. Again, another swindle and outright deception.

Folks, this is now a no brainer. When you shrink money supply while velocity has already crashed …on the most over levered financial system in all of history, what do you expect will happen? We are entering the biggest credit default sequence in all of history, while everyday goods hyperinflate to levels where the common man can no longer purchase them. Crash dead ahead! -Bill Holter

This week's "Live from the Vault" from program Kinesis Money, a conversation between London metals trader Andrew Maguire and coin and bullion dealer Andrew Schectman of the Miles Franklin distributorship, examines the incongruity of falling gold and silver futures prices amid overwhelming demand for real metal. Schectman says he has never seen such a divergence between the prices between "paper" and real metal. This divergence, Schectman says, reflects a "price as misdirection" scheme by large players in the metals markets by which they can obtain the last remaining supplies before a big change in the financial world. That change, Schectman says, is a revolt against Western hegemony, which is already underway...

When listening to information from Wall Street or a Wall Streeter, make sure that you know that Wall Street has its own agenda, one that can only be met by a rising market. And this can only be attained by you and me investing money into the market ... and that will only happen if we are confident that the market will go up. Wall Street, in its insatiable quest to make the market go up, knows that this will only happen if the investor is confident. So, the news from Wall Street, while not an outright lie, is skewed bullish. -

You want to fix the world with finance? Then fix this: wages' share of a financialized, globalized, speculative-bubble dependent economy have been falling for decades. Fix this and you really will change the world. Anything less changes nothing.
