Some really weird things are happening in the financial world right
now. If you go back to 2008, there was lots of turmoil bubbling just
underneath the surface during the months leading up to the great stock
market crash in the second half of that year. When Lehman Brothers
finally did collapse, it was a total shock to most of the planet, but we
later learned that their problems had been growing for a long time. I
believe that we are in a similar period right now, and the second half
of this year promises to be quite chaotic. Apparently, those that run
some of the largest exchange-traded funds in the entire world agree with
me, because as you will see below they are quietly preparing for a
“liquidity crisis” and a “market meltdown”. About a month ago, I warned
of an emerging “liquidity squeeze“,
and now analysts all over the financial industry are talking about it.
Could it be possible that the next great financial crisis is right
around the corner?Read More…
Obama Becoming Global Joke? King Of Bahrain Snubs US President, Meets Horse Instead
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/14/2015 - 12:26 Having been 'snubbed' by the new Saudi King Salman, it appears the uneasy relationshipo with our 'allies' in The Gulf is ebbing. In what the State Department will, we are sure, just brush off, Politico reports that the king of Bahrain has apparently also snubbed President Barack Obama, preferring instead to attend a horse show with Queen Elizabeth.from Boom Bust:
Seymour Hersh Rages: "I Am Not Backing Off Anything I Said", Slams Establishment Media

In Stunning U-Turn, NBC Retracts Story That Obama Lied About bin Laden
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/14/2015 - 10:38 It would appear someone at NBC News got a rather large tap on the shoulder. In what is a stunning reversal of their confirmation that President Obama lied and lying about the killing of bin Laden, NBC News has updated their original story - that "two intelligence sources tell NBC News that the year before the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden, a 'walk in' asset from Pakistani intelligence told the CIA where the most wanted man in the world was hiding" - to this - "Sources say that while the asset provided information vital to the hunt for bin Laden, he was not the source of his whereabouts." As Slate concludes, while NBC’s story doesn’t use the word correction or retraction, that’s what this appears to be.

It can be difficult to understand the repercussions that would follow a
collapse of the global economy, stocks and debt markets. While we know a
serious financial event is coming, determining how it will impact our
lives and preparing an appropriate strategic plan to mitigate the
fallout can be a confusing and stressful undertaking.
The questions being asked by concerned Americans are plenty, but the answers are not so easy to come by. Should I keep money in my retirement accounts? What publicly traded companies are recession-proof? Will gold and silver really be of value if the whole system comes crashing down? Should I have some cash? How much food should I stockpile if the regular flow of commerce is affected? Will there be riots in my city?

Global debt is now in the region of $200 trillion. The McKinsey Global
Institute recently published a report highlighting the bloated,
unsustainable levels of debt that have been accumulated globally and the
huge risks when interest rates begin to rise again.
McKinsey concluded that total global debt was $199 trillion and the little covered report was released in February – 3 months ago – meaning that the figure is likely over $200 trillion. With a global population of 7.3 billion this works out out at over $27,200 of debt for every man, woman and child alive in the world today.
Almost 29% of that debt – $57 trillion – has been accumulated in the relative short period since the financial crisis erupted in 2007 – just 8 years.

As If 85 Million Avon Products Shares Short Suddenly Cried Out And Were Suddenly Silenced
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/14/2015 - 12:00 How do you make what had been a very good couple of years for tens of thousands of Avon Products shorts into an absolute nightmare of a day? By doing what PTG Partners just did when moments ago it announced that, out of the blue, it would like to purchase AVP for a price of $18.75 or nearly three times higher than the Avon stock price moments before the announcement. Because why pay double when triple would do.
No Bubble Here: $1.5 Million 750 SqFt. Flat; Rent-A-Bed $1,000/Month Or 20 Beds In 7-Bedroom House $21,000/Month

By now, I think we all know that fast food is incredibly unhealthy,
and eating it on a regular basis is a surefire way to wreck your body
and mind. The purveyors of these foods (if you can call what they serve
“food”), are now viewed with as much disdain as the tobacco companies,
and the sales for companies like McDonald’s have been declining across the board
for the better part of a year. So not only are we all aware of the
health consequences of this food, but many of us are starting walk the
walk.However, not everyone agrees on why these foods are so bad for us. Some say it’s the sugar, some say it’s the fat, while others believe it’s due to the processed nature of these products. Maybe it’s some combination of all three. What’s more important though, is how these ingredients can wreak so much havoc on our bodily functions.

Saudis Declare Victory Over Shale Just As US Oil Production Jumps, Bakken Wells Hit Record
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/14/2015 - 11:13 Yesterday, the FT reported that Saudi Arabia gloated in declaring victory over US shale. “There is no doubt about it, the price fall of the last several months has deterred investors away from expensive oil including US shale, deep offshore and heavy oils,” a Saudi official told the Financial Times in Riyadh, giving a rare insight into the kingdom’s thinking on oil strategy. Which is great, but there are two problems. First, any time someone say "there is no doubt about it", or "unambiguously this or that", it is a lie. Second, Saudi Arabia is dead wrong.

Bund "Stable" As Put-Call Ratio Collapses To 6-Month Low
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/14/2015 - 09:52 Bund yields rose once again overnight, testing last week's melt-up 77bps top briefly but have 'stabilized' as US markets come online hovering 1bps lower. As bund prices have collapsed so it appears knife-catchers have been busily leveraging up with Call option open interest soaring dramatically (and put option open interest). This has smashed the put-call ratio from multi-year highs in mid-March (before the collapse began) to 6-month lows now. Whether this is a contrarian's dream is unclear (suggesting that there is further price downside as the weight of positions are skewed to the upside is unclear).Kansas City Southern Gives Disastrous Economic Update, Pulls Guidance, Announces Stock Buyback

Gold Breaks Key Technical To 3-Month High, Silver Surging
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/14/2015 - 09:27 The last 3 days have seen precious metals surging. Silver is up over 7% - its biggest such rise since Aug 2013, and Gold up 3% - its largest in 4 months. Volume is heavy also. A specific catalyst is unclear but USD weakness is being cited, weak macro data suggesting further easing, China demand ahead of SDR-backing, and finally the realization that the Chinese shift to unconventional monetary policy (LTROs) is a slippery slope to full-blown QE from which few (if any) have ever escaped.

Wholesale Deflation Strikes US Economy: April PPI Has Biggest Annual Drop In 5 Years
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/14/2015 - 08:46 Something funny happened on the way to the global reflation (telegraphed so loudly by the recent surge in 10Y yields to the highest level of 2015): PPI just crumbled by a sequential 0.4% in the month of April, despite expectations it would rise by 0.1% and continue the 0.2% monthly increase seen in March. This was a -1.3% drop in PPI - the fastest fall in 5 years. Worse, the annual decline in final demand goods was -5.2% Y/Y, the biggest drop in the revised series in record!Alasdair Macleod, Director of Research for Gold Money joins us to cover the sorry state of the US economy, which at this point is on death watch when measured with REAL accounting data like plummeting GDP and the downward revisions in the BLS reports.
In fact, according to John Williams from shadowstats, as the ranks of the unemployed in the United States has reached 23%, the economy is now suffering the effects of inflation, and Williams says, we are on track to hit hyperinflation of the Dollar in 2016. The problems that led to the 2008 economic crisis have not been addressed or fixed and loose monetary policy continues unabated.
With the average age of a minimum age worker in the United States 36 years old, and with 93 million Americans out of the workforce altogether, hyperinflation of the Dollar is the death knell for the Republic and for all we once held dear.
Alasdair Macleod points out that once confidence in a currency is lost, that currency is doomed. At that point, panic ensues, and we are now headed in that direction. Alasdair says, “There will be people in the west panicking because they haven’t got any physical silver or gold.” And by the time the panic is palpable, it will be too late.

Governments that dictate our movements through heavy-handed manipulation of currencies and, more importantly, gold.
Gold is the deadly threat to all governments, including the Chinese government. Gold is a free market independent currency and puts all government currency at risk. Is China really working in the gold market for free markets and democracy and individual liberty around the world? No, I don’t think so.

Beginning in 1903, Congress voted to create the Civilian Marksmanship
Program, with the intention of familiarizing the public with military
firearms. It was founded at a time when the Army was switching over to
bolt action rifles, and they wanted to ensure that members of the public
would be proficient with these new weapons, should they ever be drafted
in wartime. The CMP still exists today, providing training through a
series of clubs in every state, and selling vintage military firearms.
But a new provision to this year’s National Defense Authorization Act might add new firearms to the list of weapons currently sold. As of now, the CMP is authorized to sell rifles like the M1 Garand and M1 Carbine, but should this provision pass, the military may be obligated to sell 100,000 untraceable M1911 pistols to the public. As expected, the usual suspects at the Huffington Post are hyperventilating over this possibility.

How many Americans have actually bothered to read the Constitution, let alone the first ten amendments to the Constitution, the Bill of Rights (a quick read at 462 words)?
Take a few minutes and read those words for yourself—rather than having some court or politician translate them for you—and you will be under no illusion about where to draw the line when it comes to speaking your mind, criticizing your government, defending what is yours, doing whatever you want on your own property, and keeping the government’s nose out of your private affairs.
In an age of overcriminalization, where the average citizen unknowingly commits three crimes a day, and even the most mundane activities such as fishing and gardening are regulated, government officials are constantly telling Americans what not to do. Yet it was not always this way. It used to be “we the people” telling the government what it could and could not do. Indeed, the three words used most frequently throughout the Bill of Rights in regards to the government are “no,” “not” and “nor.”

Despite the indexes still trading near record levels there was a
further contraction in advisor optimism and even some new bear
projections. While index highs could be retested medium term investors
should be cautious after the recent lofty readings for the bulls.
The index selloff to lows on 6-May caused a new contraction for the bulls to 47.5%. It was 52.5% and 57.4% the prior two weeks. That latter reading almost hit historic danger levels suggesting many advisors were near fully invested. Bulls above 50% show elevated risk and that has persisted since Nov-14 with only a few weeks of exceptions. There was a small increase for the bears at 15.8%, up from the 2015 low a week ago at 13.9%.
The spread between the bulls and bears further contracted to 31.7%, down from 38.6% a week ago. It is also down 11.8% from the 43.5% difference before that, a dangerously high reading last seen late Feb. Differences over 30% are a worry and above 40% signal major caution.
