Listen to what he told Oprah and her audience more than 25 years ago (circa 1987): “I’d make our allies pay their fair share” “I’m tired of seeing what’s happening with this country.” “I’m tired of seeing this country ripped off.”
Why Trump Triumphs
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/19/2016 - 21:15 "Now, the zeitgeist has changed. Ms. Merkel is out of style and out of step. In Britain, France, the Netherlands, Slovakia, Hungary, and the U.S., the candidates getting the most enthusiastic support are those who urge closing borders, restricting trade, and looking to protect themselves from all that is threatening, different, or new. Forget free trade! Forget freedom of travel! Stop immigration… especially of the Muslims and Mexicans! Build a wall! Torture your enemies! Stop trying to expand the empire!"
A Strange Pattern Emerges When Trading The US Dollar In 2016
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/19/2016 - 20:20 As Bank of America's FX quant strategist writes, "ahead of the Fed, the USD was already trending lower against 8 out of 9 G10 currency pairs with GBP being the only exception. The surprisingly-dovish Fed has only further accelerated the decline in the US dollar. The decline started in late January and has occurred during the critical local New York trading hours. The US hours downtrend looks likely to continue in the near future."
Another False Oil Price Rally: Crossing A Boundary
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/19/2016 - 19:47 "The oil-price rally that began in mid-February will almost certainly collapse. It is similar to the false March-June 2015 rally. In both cases, prices increased largely because of sentiment. As in the earlier rally, current storage volumes are too large and demand is too weak to sustain higher prices for long."
"Nobody Is Making Money" - Hedge Fund "VIP Basket" Obliterated, Plunges To Record Low
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/19/2016 - 19:08 Over the past month, things for hedge funds have gone from terrible to absolutely abysmal, and as of this moment the GSTHHVIP index which tracks the performance of these "most popular" among hedge fund stocks, has never been lower despite the dramatic rebound in the broader market!
by Dave Hodges, The Common Sense Show:
My message this morning is very simple and very short. The American people have been backed into a corner. With regard to the Globalist Agenda, the lights are on and the gloves are off. The People have been clearly told that they are de facto slaves. The People, who are awake and aware, already know that our supposed Republican form of government is a sham and nearly everything government does is a scam. In reality, there is no government, there is only “them, their, those” who believe that they own the rest of us.
For those that think that this site and other sites like this are just “nonsense conspiracy sites”, you were not paying attention to your precious corporate-controlled media (e.g. Fox, CNN) for the past 72 hours. The American people have been told in very clear terms, that their vote does not count, the will of the people is an illusion and we are the slaves that belong to the elite.

Mystery Of New York Fed Robbery Has Central Banks Asking Who's Next
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/19/2016 - 18:31 From the NY Fed, to a local branch of a commercial bank in the Philippines, to a remittances company, to three casinos, and then... nothing. A cold trail. Who's at the end of the central bank heist rabbit hole? And do any of the people along the paper trail actually know who's pulling the strings?

Trump "Would Be Impeached" Over China, Mexico Tariffs, Chamber Of Commerce CEO Says
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/19/2016 - 17:01 Donald Trump has proposed a 35% import tax on goods from Mexico and a 45% tax on goods imported from China. If implemented, it would be a disaster for American consumers, Tom Donohue says.
Obama Administration Sets Record In Lack Of Transparency: Denies Information In 77% Of FOIA Requests
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/19/2016 - 16:17 The Obama administration set a record for the number of times its federal employees told disappointed citizens, journalists and others that despite searching they couldn’t find a single page requested under the Freedom of Information Act. In more than one in six cases, or 129,825 times, government searchers said they came up empty-handed last year. Such cases contributed to an alarming measurement: People who asked for records under the law received censored files or nothing in 77 percent of requests, also a record. In the first full year after President Barack Obama’s election, that figure was only 65 percent of cases. The new data represents the final figures on the subject that will be released during Obama’s presidency. Obama has said his administration is the most transparent ever.

Profit Margins Tumble To Lowest In Four Years... And It's Not Just Oil's Fault
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/19/2016 - 15:18 Five of the ten sectors are projected to see lower net profit margins in Q1 2016 relative to the 3-year average for each sector, led by the Energy sector (0.1% vs. 6.5%). Excluding the Energy sector, the estimated net profit margin for the S&P 500 would be 10.0%. However, this would also mark the lowest net profit margin for the index excluding the Energy sector since Q1 2014 (9.9%). Thus, other sectors are also contributing to the expected lower than average net profit margin for the index for Q1 2016.
New CCTV Footage Shows Moment Of Deadly Istanbul Suicide Attack
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/19/2016 - 14:40 For the fourth time this year and the second time in seven days, one of Turkey’s major cities has been hit with a deadly suicide bombing. Just six days after an explosion ripped through a transit hub in Ankara’s Kizilay neighborhood killing 34 people and wounding more than 100, a bustling shopping street in Istanbul was shaken by a powerful blast on Saturday.
The Lego Movie Economy
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/19/2016 - 14:38 After the February jobs report, President Obama said “America’s pretty darn great right now.” He then went on to disparage the “doomsday rhetoric” of the Republicans, which he said was pure “fantasy. I think that there is a good chance that this will enter the Hall of Fame of miss-timed statements, right up there with this jewel from Ben Bernanke in March 2007: “At this juncture, however, the impact on the broader economy and financial markets of the problems in the sub-prime market seems likely to be contained.”

Buyback Blackout Period Starts Monday: Is This The Catalyst That Ends The S&P Rally?
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/19/2016 - 12:41 "Buyback blackout period starts Monday. An increasing number of S&P 500 companies will enter into their blackout period starting next week, about a month before the earnings season kicks into high gear in the third week of April." This is taking place as institutional clients have been aggressively dumping stocks for the past seven weeks, while corporations have been soaking up all this liquidating activity. Should the selling continue for yet another week, who will soak up the selling this time?
This Is How Venezuela Exported 12.5 Tonnes Of Gold To Switzerland On March 8, 2016 Via Paris
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/19/2016 - 11:43 Approximately 50 tonnes of BCV gold has been exported from Venezuela to Switzerland within the first 10 weeks of 2016. How much longer can this outflow continue? This gold is being exported by the BCV in order to participate in swaps (or maybe even outright sales) in order to provide external financing to the Venezuelan Government. The fact that the gold is being picked up by Brinks Switzerland suggests it is being brought to a Swiss gold refinery. The main reason gold is sent to Switzerland is so that it can be refined or recast.
A pair of Libertarian ideologues have established an organization attempting to rally support behind Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump.
The “Libertarians for Trump” group, created earlier this week by LewRockwell.com editors Dr. Donald Miller and economics professor Walter E. Block, admits “it has its work cut out for it in mobilizing massive support for Donald Trump within the libertarian community.”
This is because, Block writes, “there are some libertarians who oppose supporting any politician for political office, even a 99% pure one such as Dr. Ron Paul.”

Gold stocks have radically outperformed every other sector in the stock markets this year, blasting higher as investors flock back to gold. This powerful surge is spawning worries that gold stocks’ new bull run is in danger of exhausting itself. But such fears are totally unfounded. A longer-term perspective reveals that gold stocks’ baby bull market in 2016 remains tiny in the grand scheme. This new bull has barely begun.
Successfully buying low and selling high to multiply wealth in the markets demands traders overcome their own innate greed and fear. These ever-present emotions are constantly warring in traders’ minds, impairing their judgment. One consequence of heeding these dangerous emotions is the tyranny of the present. Traders naturally tend to overweight the present and forget the past, which leads to poor decisions.

A reader asked my opinion on the latest commentaries posted on Seeking Alpha about VRX. Generally they had a bullish slant, permeated with gratuitous rationalization seeded in blind hope. “Hope” is not a valid investment strategy. VRX is down another 8% today, which says a lot given that its probably the only stock in the Russell 2000 index that is red today.
One “analyst” explained away the reasons why VRX would not default on its debt. But I laid this out pretty clearly yesterday. Yes the banks will keep VRX alive. The banks are keeping EVERYTHING alive because they have $2.3 trillion in excess reserves that enable them to plug the cash flow deficits currently occurring from delinquent and defaulted assets.

You may remember that just two months ago the International Energy Agency warned the oil market could “drown in oversupply” in 2016. The outlook for oil, which had tumbled 75% since 2012 and hit a low of $28 per barrel by mid January, was looking bleak with some analysts suggesting that sub-$20 oil was a real possibility.
The official numbers were compelling – the world was awash in oil with scores of tankers brimming with black gold reportedly sitting in limbo with nowhere to go. Oil storage was at capacity. OPEC warned that oil wouldn’t return to triple digits for two decades.
