A
very noisy gappy day with much larger volume than in recent days
(which all dried up in the afternoon session until the close - for the
heaviest volume day in a month) in US equities. European comments lifted
us early in a correlated-risk-on manner until Bernanke's speech which
hit markets like a meteor - stops were run up and down - but by the
close equities and the USD
ended fractionally lower from pre-Ben (notably up on the day to save
the month for the Dow), Gold considerably up from pre-Ben, Treasury
yields down notably from pre-Ben. Near six-month highs in Gold and five-month highs in Silver were the real movers today - with their largest gains in two months.
VIX ended marginally lower at 17.5% (-0.3vols); credit was very thin
today and tracked stocks in general (though less volatile); USD ended
the week -0.5% which matches Oil's +0.5% on the week as Copper
underperformed. Silver has overtaken Stocks as the Year-to-Date winner once again...

The world doesn’t yet realize it, but the forces coming down on the gold and silver markets are truly unbelievable. These forces can’t be comprehended by any type of charting.
Presently, much of the focus in the gold and silver community is in the MANIPULATION & FINANCIAL SYSTEM. However the physical forces coming down on the market are MUCH GREATER!!

The ECB 'Compromise' Cheat-Sheet
With
Bernanke leaving the door open, but not pre-committing, in a
check-raise to Draghi next week, market focus remains almost exclusively
on the bond-buying program to support Spain. Credit Suisse expects markets to be mildly disappointed by Draghi's words and deeds as they question how far he can go,
and in terms of near-term market moves, how much is said at next
week's meeting versus said at later occasions or indicated through
actions (e.g. once Spain asks for help). Draghi has already started to
manage expectations with his Die Zeit comments (pitched at the German
populous) but in order to get a handle on what the various scenarios
are - and what the implications could be - here is Credit Suisse's matrix of compromise.How To Lose $400,000 With Credit Suisse Betting On A Big Jackson Hole Disappointment
This Tuesday, we gave the podium to Credit Suisse's rates group with "How To Make $500,000 With Credit Suisse Betting On A Big Jackson Hole Disappointment"
who in turn suggested that one of the best risk return opportunities
heading into J-Hole, was to go short the 10 Year betting on
disappointment by Bernanke (as a reminder earlier today we showed that
virtually 100% of QE was already priced in). Well, Bernanke came and
went, and although our personal take on the speech was broadly negative,
which highlighted the adverse side effects of what would happen if
there is another big QE round, and substantially toning the exuberant
language from the latest FOMC minutes, which had previously made it seem
that the majority of Fed presidents thought more easing should be
imminent resulting in another centrally-planned market rip, the stock
market did not agree with our take. At least not initially. As for
Credit Suisse, it said to "put on a $50K DV01 short at 1.64% and expect a steep selloff when the Fed disappoints, with a 1.75% target.
If all works out according to plan, everyone involved should be
$500,000 richer at market close on Friday with Bollingers all around."
Turns out nothing worked out quite as expected. In fact, as a result of
the J-Hole remarks, we have had another stock buying spree of anything
that is not nailed down, with gold popping the most, the DJIA soaring
as much as 150 (although rapidly taking on water), and the 10 year...

Trader Dan at Trader Dan's Market Views - 13 minutes ago
For nearly the last year and a half, silver has been in a sustained
downtrend in price although it has managed to find a floor of support near
the $26 level. This week it has finally broken that downtrend. If this
metal is going to begin a sustained rally, any setback in price should find
buying emerge near the downsloping blue line shown on the chart. Failure to
hold this level and particularly now the $30 level, will see the metal fall
back into that triangle formation with support then coming in down closer
to $28.
Note that the metal is now trading above the 50 week moving avera... more »
The Action In The Metals Today
Dave in Denver at The Golden Truth - 38 minutes ago
If you read between the lines of Bernanke's headline comments, he
essentially is saying that he's ready to print a lot of money if
"necessary." That's why the metals where ambushed hard yesterday, it's why
the dollar dropped like a rock on no other news overnight, it's why they
took the metals down as the headlines hit and it's why the metals spiked
hard after the initial hit today. We actually removed all hedges from our
fund yesterday after the ambush because I suspected this would be the case.
This is highly orchestrated at this point and frighteningly Orwellian. The
metals are... more »
More Pain for the Middle Class courtesy of Bernank...

The Bernank Jawboning the Markets
Trader Dan at Trader Dan's Market Views - 3 hours ago
The long awaited speech from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke at the Jackson Hole
Summit has come and gone without any definitive action being announced.
However, the Helicopter Man let it be known that he believes the first two
rounds of QE were a rousing success.
Once again he promised that the Fed stands ready to act if the economic
conditions or data warrant it. As usual, the markets, hungry for more of
the spiked punch bowl, wasted no time in casting off their initial
disappointment with a huge round of indiscriminate buying directed at the
risk asset categories.

"My Doctor’s an idiot. A few years ago, he started expressing concerns about my weight, pointing at this chart supposedly showing how much a man of my height should weigh. One glance at his stupid chart and it was clear to me that he had completely misdiagnosed my condition. There was nothing wrong with my weight, I just wasn’t tall enough. Clearly I needed to grow my way out of this. So I went home and googled “how to stimulate growth.” Once I got past the all the baldness cures and penis pumps (it’s not my bag, baby), I found hundreds of papers so incredibly boring I knew they had to be true. In no time, I was able to design and implement my own stimulus plan based on the irrefutable scientificky principles of Nobel prize winners and other people so smart they never had to do an honest day’s work in their lives. Despite the difficulty climbing stairs, I was feeling pretty good about things until my last check-up..."
On The Difference Between Bonds, Equities, And Gold; "No-QE-Without-A-Crash" Or "Flow Vs. Stock"
Is the reality of different time-horizons and event discounting really starting to tell on markets? Equities have now sagged back lower while Treasury yields are accelerating lower and Gold higher. It seems that stocks fully comprehend that QE does not come without more pain in the short-term and are starting to price for that - while given the low/no cost of carry for Treasuries and Gold, the eventual reality of further financial repression and money-printing can be discounted in from longer maturities. It seems somewhat in-the-stars that the Fed will do more as they have convinced themselves that all is well with their extreme policies and short-term benefits outweigh ultimate costs, but this afternoon's disconnect between the QE-to-the-moon feeling in Gold and Treasuries and the QE-not-so-soon feeling in Stocks may well be a trend to watch as the only sure thing is when not if The Fed acts.

Former Fed Governor Heller: "Fed Will Not Act Before Fiscal Cliff Resolved"
Perhaps
it is the weight that is lifted from having to tow the propaganda life
while under the influence of the Fed, but Robert Heller (ex Fed
Governor) just laid out the 'translated' version of Bernanke's speech
this morning. "I don't think the Federal Reserve will take any
action, certainly not until the fiscal cliff, the fiscal uncertainties
are actually addressed," which is similar to our interpretation of Bernanke's comments as he added "if they're not addressed and the economy falls off the cliff; yes, then you may get QE3," but "I don't see that happening before the election!"
This great interview - somewhat stunningly truthy for CNBC - is well
worth five minutes of your time (on this ever-so-hectic Friday before
Labor Day) as Heller discusses teh fading impact of QE, the risk of
enormous losses for the Fed, and the danger of believing in a 'safe'
exit strategy.

Sigh. Spain's IBEX gained over 3%; Italy's MIB gained over 2%;
and all but the UK's FTSE equity index ended very nicely green today
(all jerked higher by Spain's comments on their bad-bank and then
Bernanke's cover). However, European Government Bonds (EGBs) failed
dismally. Spain's 10Y spread to bunds ended the week 46bps wider
and Italy 15bps wider and while some point to the short-end as
evidence that all is well, Spain saw modest weakness in the 2Y today
post Bernanke (though Italy rallied). The curve steepening was
dramatic to say the least as the market appearsd to be increasingly

Algos Set New Speed Reading Record: 4549 Words In 20 Milliseconds
The
market is indeed a discounting mechanism it appears. In a mere 20
milliseconds, the world's 'traders' had managed to read Bernanke's
4549-word script, interpret it (as bearish in this case - which
apparently is wrong now?) and start to sell down the major equity
indices. As Nanex points out, not only was the reaction lightning fast (actually faster than lightning) but it occurred
in their newly created 'fantaseconds' as trades were timestamped
'before' the bids and offers were even seen in the data-feed. How long until the machines can interpret Bernanke's 'pre-QErimes' and really front-run reality?When One Hilsenrath Is Just Not Enough, Here's Another: "Bernanke Signals Readiness To Do More"
In
the immortal words of the Jackson 5: "I'll Be There" seems to be the
meme du jour - which appears to us to be the same message that Bernanke
(and his proxy Hilsenrath) have been on for a few years now. However,
in case you hadn't had enough sycophantic central-bank-fellating
'hope', the WSJ's front-man just reiterated
for one and all that Ben's our man. In our subtle opinion, it seems
however that perhaps Bernanke was a little disingenuous with his talk of
'policy tool effectiveness' - as clearly his efforts have not had the
desired economic effect so far (or he would not need to reiterate the
ability to do more of the same).

A few weeks ago, western governments’ war on productive people took an interesting twist when US immigration authorities detained two teenage children of an asset manager based here in Switzerland.
The kids were traveling through the United States by themselves to visit extended family, and they were interrogated for six hours about their father’s business and whereabouts.
During the six-hour ordeal, the children were not allowed to contact family members who were waiting for them, nor any sort of attorney or advisor. You can just imagine grandma and grandpa waiting in the arrivals hall for six hours, petrified that something terrible had
happened to the children.

Today acclaimed money manager Stephen Leeb told King World News that he expects the Fed will in fact ease at their September meeting. Leeb also discussed the strong move in gold and silver, but first, here is what Leeb had to say regarding Bernanke and the Fed: “I think what investors clearly wanted to hear from Bernanke is that he’s ready to ease on monetary policy, and that he’s ready to open the floodgates again. That, combined with a much more docile Merkel, and news today that China’s copper demand might be a lot stronger than people think, and you really had a trifecta here today.
The Bernanke story is right in front of us. What he said, and he made this crystal clear, is the economy is very disappointing to him. He also used a very strong adjective to describe unemployment, and he stated he’s going to do whatever he can about it. The language he used, the adjectives he used, suggested he’s ready to do something, Eric.”

THE ECB SLOWLY BUT SURELY BECOMING A TWIN BROTHER OF THE FED: POSITIVE IMPLICATIONS FOR THE SHORT-TERM?
“We are in danger of being overwhelmed with irredeemable paper, mere paper, representing not gold nor silver; no sir, representing nothing but broken promises, bad faith, bankrupt corporations, cheated creditors and a ruined people.” ~ Daniel Webster, speech in the American Senate, 1833
Increasingly, Mario Draghi, the European Central Bank President, is showing his true colors. He is clearly on the road to becoming Europe´s clone of Ben Bernanke. That said, Draghi is pushing hard against Germany´s (Merkel´s) resistance of running full-speed down the Keynesian road of monetary inflation.

Gold surged to a five-month high in heavy trade on Friday after Federal
Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s key speech fuelled speculation of new
U.S. stimulus in the near future.
At the economic symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Bernanke said that progress reducing unemployment was too slow and the U.S. economy faced “daunting” challenges but he stopped short of providing a clear signal of further monetary policy easing.
The metal fell immediately following the release of Bernanke’s speech as markets were disappointed that the Fed chief did not send a strong message about a new round of bond-buyback known as quantitative easing (QE). However, bullion quickly rebounded $35 per ounce, or 1.5 percent, from the low as markets later interpreted his comments as stimulus friendly.

supporters at the 1976 RNC – and then tried to “reunite” the GOP and try
to recoup the Reagan supporters they had alienated, all to no avail.
It failed because it was sheer pretense, disingenuous on its face. Baker and his sidekick, David Gergen, hated conservatives as much as Ford hated Reagan. They hated especially the millions of “blue collar” Democrats who came to provide the backbone of the “social conservatives” that supplied Reagan’s winning margins in 1980 and 1984.
Ford was adamant and unrepentant about his loyalty to the Rockefeller-Bush establishment. He bragged in the 1990s that his proudest accomplishment was the appointment of Supreme Court Justice Stevens, who quickly became a left-wing stalwart on the court, to be joined there by George H.W. Bush appointee David Souter in 1990. Time after time, the GOP Hot-Tubbers have lied to traditional conservatives, gotten their votes, and then betrayed them.
