First
the flood, now the freeze (and the lack of fuel and gas and heating
just making it much worse). And for tens of thousands of residents of
New York and New Jersey this means that as many as 40,000 will need to
find alternative housing, especially ahead of Wednesday when a
Nor'easter formation is expected to hit the Tristate area and bring
even more freezing rain and cold to the region. From Reuters: "Tens of thousands of people affected by superstorm Sandy could soon need housing as
cold weather descends on the state of New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo
said on Sunday. Cuomo, in a televised press conference nearly a week
after the storm hit the U.S. East Coast, said the fuel shortages are
improving but problems will persist for "a number of days."" Elsewhere,
and also from Reuters:
"Victims of superstorm Sandy on the U.S. East Coast struggled against
the cold early on Sunday amid fuel shortages and power outages even as
officials fretted about getting voters displaced by the storm to
polling stations for Tuesday's presidential election. Overnight,
near-freezing temperatures gripped the U.S. northeast. At least two
more victims were found in New Jersey, one dead of hypothermia, as the
overall death toll from one of worst storms in U.S. history climbed to
at least 112. Fuel supplies continued to rumble toward disaster zones
and electricity was slowly returning to darkened neighborhoods after a
storm that hit the coast last Monday. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg
said it would be days before power is fully restored and fuel shortages
end."The 512 Permutating Paths To The White House
Tired of pundits with black boxes and book deals telling you the election is a done deal because some statistically-sampling, biased, Garbage In, Garbage Out model "said so" (remember when the same GIGO logic made every structured piece of toxic RMBS toxic be rated AAA simply because the rating agency models couldn't account for the improbable case of real estate prices actually going down?) Then decide for yourselves. With 48 hours left until polls close, below are the 512 permutating paths available to the two candidates on their way to the White House throne (assuming the other states vote the way they are "expected"). And with the election having crossed far beyond mere theatrical tragicomedy and now well into NCAA finals knock out fever, one can see why Florida and Ohio are really all the matter.
Obama Vs Romney National Security Policies In A Nutshell
Mitt Romney's policy statements have this far been quite hawkish on both the approach to 'dealling' with adversaries and on the funding of the military (growing DoD by 2,5% per year). President Obama on the other hand wants to build consensus
and have us move in tandem with our allies. As such, he wants to keep
our military spending relatively flat and encourage our allies to spend
more. For everything you wanted to know about their policy and budget
differences, but were afraid to even contemplate, as well as fiscal and threat realities, these four charts are critical. No matter the winner, the
next President faces difficult fiscal realities given the $1T+ deficits
of the day. He’ll also face a threat environment that includes a
potentially “nuclear” Iran, an emerging China, an unstable middle-East,
a frosty Russia, and a growing concern over cyber security.How Targeted Quote Stuffing "Denial Of Service" Attacks Make Stock Trading Impossible
Back
in the summer of 2010, when the SEC was still desperate to (laughably)
scapegoat the May 6 Flash Crash on Waddell and Reed, in an attempt to
telegraph to the public that it was in control of the HFT takeover of the stock market (an attempt which has since failed miserably as days in which there are no occult
trading phenomena have become the outlier and have resulted in the
wholesale dereliction of stock trading by retail investors), we first presented and endorsed the Nanex proposal that
the flash crash was an "on demand" (either on purpose or by mistake)
event, one which occurred as a result of massive quote stuffing which
prevented regular way trading from occuring and resulting in a 1000 DJIA
point plunge in minutes (the audio track to which is
still a must hear for anyone who harbor any doubt the market is
"safe"). It turns out that in the nearly 3 years since that fateful
market crash, not only has nothing been done to repair the market
(ostensibly broken beyond repair and only another wholesale crash, this
time without DKed trades, and bailed out banks, could possible do
something to change the status quo) but the Denial of Service (DoS)
attacks that HFT algos launch, for whatever reason, have become a daily occurrence as the following demonstrations from Nanex confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt.BitCoin Seen Through The Eyes Of A Central Banker
To us, the ECB's superficial, amusing take on BitCoin was merely a source of (Friday) humor.
To others, such as Tuur Demeester, the ECB's report on "Virtual
Currency Schemes" which was merely a confused attempt to validate the
Euro by bashing a prototype electronic currency that others have
written far more informed articles on, has far more profound insights
into central banker mentality. We are skeptical: the ECB has far more
existential issues to worry about than whether people will be paying for
that house in Calabria with BitCoin (they won't; at least not any time
soon), such as how fast until Spain and Greece run out of
rehypothecatable and repoable assets, that allow the ECB to continue
creating its own version of electronic money (in this case named Euro)
out of thin air. But for those seeking more than what meets the
central-planner's eye (because what better ploy than to divert attention
from where it truly needs to be focused: such as Spanish bonds for
example getting a 0% haircut instead of 5%), here are some answers to
the question whether "the CB’s toolbox have what it takes to contain a
private, decentralised cryptocurrency? Or: Bitcoin seen through the eyes
of a central banker."Spanish Banks May Face €17 Billion Margin Call As ECB Found To Lie About Collateral Haircuts
Mario
Draghi has reassured the world that no matter how much 'crap'
collateral is taken on to the ECB's balance sheet, their risk management
process is rigorous and ensures the safety of the entity's capital
thanks to well-devised haircuts and collateral. Once again, it appears
from a report in Die Welt (via Bloomberg), Draghi lied,
as the ECB is now checking terms on some lending to Spanish banks that
may have already contravened the ECB's mandate allowing overly generous terms to be offered on the Spanish banks' collateral. As Bloomberg notes, the issue surrounds EUR80bn relatively short-dated T-Bills which were wrongly classified as rated 'A' instead of the 'B'
that agencies - except DBRS! - had assigned (a vast difference) - which
would imply (if the ECB re-assigns the correct rating) the affected Spanish banks would have to produce up to EUR16.6bn in additional collateral
(cash or quality collateral that is non-existent in Europe). This of
course "casts doubt on the quality of the ECB's risk management" and
merely serves to confirm the Juncker-ian lies we have come to expect
from Europe's leaders (economic and political). As Die Welt notes: "Critical observers ask: who actually controls the ECB?"Bunga Bunga vs Brrrrrm: Ferrari Boss To Challenge Berlusoni In Italy Premier Race

Job Creation Under Barack Obama: Less Than Meets The Eye?
In the aftermath of yesterday's better than expected jobs number there have been many analyses in the media on both sides of the aisle, either attacking or defending Obama's track record in creating jobs. All have come up with arguments which according to their authors, are solid and defensible. There is one analysis, however, which is missing, and that is a follow up of what we showed yesterday in "Chart Of The Day: America's Geriatric Work F(a)rce." In it we demonstrated the very much "under the radar" schism of America's workforce since the NBER-defined official end of the recession in June 2009 into the "haves", or those above 55, who have been able to get a job since the end of the recession, and the "have nots", or all those in the labor force who have not been able to find a job. So how does this data look when extended to the beginning of Obama's term, or the 46 full months starting with his inauguration in January 2009, and continuing through the latest, October 2012 data point. The chart is presented below; you decide.

Deleveraging, like Hamlet’s nothing, is only good or bad when you come to think about it.
And what view you choose speaks to your moral view of the world too, and so to your economic theory as well, whether or not you know it. Because for every “liquidationist” saying the debt must be paid down, and savings must be built up before a new cycle can begin, there is another economist urging government and central banks to take on releveraging themselves, so the net effect is nil. Otherwise we’re doomed to a permanent depression.
UK households care little for such chatter, however. By September 2008, their net debt – their total savings minus their borrowings – were equal to 20% of the UK’s annual economy. People owed the banks 300bn pounds more than the banks owed to them.
How things change! Banks won’t lend, and people won’t borrow even at 0% interest rates. Net result?

With the exception of Goldcorp, third quarter results from the big five global gold miners are looking pretty dire.
by Lawrence Williams, MineWeb.com
This doesn’t look like being a good quarter for the world’s top five gold miners, with only Goldcorp the exception. Both Barrick
and Newmont have published figures for the quarter which will have
seriously disappointed analysts, while South Africa’s two top producers
have of course been suffering badly from the wave of worker dissent in
their main country of production which followed on from the platinum
mine strikes and the Marikana massacre.
Let’s consider the major miners individually:
Barrick Gold, the world’s largest gold miner, not only saw third quarter earnings fall by 55% compared with a year ago – but also had to report yet another increased capital cost estimate for its massive Pascua Lama project straddling the Argentinean/Chilean border. The project cost now stands at an enormous $8-$8.5 billion, effectively $1billion more than the previous figures only re-estimated a quarter earlier, and getting on for three times the original cost estimate of only three years ago.

In all probability, SDRs, gold and ‘parked reserves’ can be used neither to pay for imports nor for the repayment of non-IMF debt.
Probable scenario: Within a month of the caretaker government’s tenure, Pakistan will be in a state of ‘financial emergency’. By Election Day, the SBP’s foreign exchange reserves will be just about enough to cover a mere two months’ imports.

The
European Central Bank (ECB) is checking whether it may have contravened
its own strict rules by lending to Spanish banks on overly generous
terms, an ECB spokesman said on Sunday.
from The Telegraph:
German newspaper Die Welt am Sonntag, citing the results of its own
research, said Spanish banks had borrowed funds from the ECB at a
preferential interest rate of 0.5pc even though the creditworthiness of
the T-bills they provide as collateral should have required them to pay
5.5pc.
The rating of some paper should have made them completely ineligible as collateral for the ECB, the newspaper added.
“The ECB is investigating the matter,” the bank spokeswoman said.
At issue is nearly €80bn (£64.1bn) worth of 18-month T-bills the newspaper said had been wrongly classified as carrying a top-notch A rating whereas many are rated only as B by leading rating agencies Moody’s, Fitch and Standard & Poor’s.
“Dealings with certain Spanish government bonds casts doubt on the quality of the ECB’s risk management… because the bonds pledged by the banks as security meet the central bank’s requirements only in part,” Die Welt am Sonntag said.
