This is the biggest challenge to everyone - on the right, on the left and in the middle - even if nobody wants to admit it.

The Shale Delusion: Why The Party’s Over For U.S. Tight Oil
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/15/2015 - 13:56 The party is over for tight oil. Despite brash statements by U.S. producers and misleading analysis by Raymond James, low oil prices are killing tight oil companies. Reports this week from IEA and EIA paint a bleak picture for oil prices as the world production surplus continues. EIA said that U.S. production will fall by 1 million barrels per day over the next year and that, “expected crude oil production declines from May 2015 through mid-2016 are largely attributable to unattractive economic returns.” IEA made the point more strongly. “..the latest price rout could stop US growth in its tracks.”

"You Get A New Car; You Get A New House" - Saudi Prince Alwaleed Hands Out Bribes To Saudi Citizens
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/15/2015 - 13:14 In a dramatic show of faux generosity, staple CNBC commentator and billionaires, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal who several years ago sued Forbes for "underestimating" his net worth at "only" $20 billion (Forbes won) decided to show the world just how noble (and rich) he is.

"The House Will Likely Win"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/15/2015 - 12:52 It is quite likely - given current valuation levels, deterioration in earnings growth, and a slower economic environment - that forward returns will be substantially lower. In other words, the "risk-reward" ratio for being an aggressive investor at this point in the market/economic cycle suggests that the "house will likely win."

2-Year Treasury Yield Highest Since April 2011
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/15/2015 - 12:26 2 Year Treasury yields have jumped 4.5bps today, breaking to 77.4bps - the highest since April 2011 as it appears (despite the 30% odds of a rate hike priced into the ED curve) Fed jawboning is creating front-end selling (in the face of weak data). Notably this is the same level that 2Y rates traded at in Dec 2008 after the initial tumble post-Lehman.filed under (unt

Demilitarization Begins? California Bill Blocks Police Getting Grenade Launchers, Tanks From Feds
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/15/2015 - 11:31 After years of militarizing the local police in America, California may just have chalked one up for liberty-seekers (though we are not holding our breath). A bill to stop the militarization of California police departments received final approval in the state legislature last Thursday. The bill, which specifically points out the dangers of police militarization, saying it would “declare that this is a matter of statewide concern,” is now on its way to the desk of Governor Jerry Brown.Gartman Does It Again: 30Y Tops 3.00%, Stocks Surge After "Bad News"

This Is Why Americans Will Pay More For Gasoline If U.S Export Ban Is Lifted
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/15/2015 - 10:48 They say that the first casualty of war is truth. And, on both sides of the fight over lifting the ban on exports of U.S. crude oil, the truth has already fallen into a coma. The ban was instituted in 1975 in order to make America less subject to swings in international oil supply after suffering the price shock associated with the Arab oil embargo in 1973. Last week a committee in the U.S. House of Representatives voted to end the ban after a Senate committee voted in July to do the same. A vote by the full House and Senate could be near.
Market "Ominously Hints Recession Imminent" BofA Warns Unless "Unambiguous Pessimism" Leads To Stock Rally
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/15/2015 - 10:18 The tone from investors in the latest Bank of America survey is clear: as Michael Harnett summarizes it, the one prevailing theme is "unambiguous pessimism." Bottom line: either markets soar, or something bad is about to happen: to wit: "Unambiguous pessimism means risk assets riper for a rally (note investors don’t want a Fed hike this week). If no rally, then markets ominously hinting “recession” and/or “default” imminent." Good luck Janet.
Business Inventories Grow At Slowest Pace Since Jan, Sales-Ratio Signals Recession Imminent
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/15/2015 - 10:07 Following June's 0.8% surge in business inventories (the most in 4 years) which surged inventrory-to-sales to 1.37x - the highest since 2009 - July's data confirms the recession looms large as inventory accumulation appears to have hit its limit, up only 0.1% MoM (inventory-to-sales hovers at 1.36x - historic recession levels). Remembering that this data is lagged by 2 months (in the face of disastrous Empire Fed inventory collapse, auto production collapse and retail sales weakness), it appears the "if we build it, they will come" economy just got slapped in the face with the reality that 'Field of Dreams' was a fiction, just like The US 'Recovery'. Time for The Fed to hike rates?
Which Asset Class Will Be Most Impacted By A Rate Hike?
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/15/2015 - 14:15 Going into Thursday, everyone - and we do mean everyone - is scrambling to predict which asset classes are most susceptible to a Fed hike. Amid the rampant confusion, BofAML asked fund managers to weigh in. Here are the results.
Yesterday, The Common Sense Show issued a breaking news alert as to the possible use of multiple IED type of devices based upon the reports of a highly credible source(s). The Common Sense Show is pleased to announce that arrests have been made in conjunction with this event and eventually I will be able to provide more details.
If such an event ever came to fruition, it could potentially paralyze this nation and bring the economy to a standstill. Subsequently, the grocery store shelves could be empty within two days and food riots would likely commence by sundown of the second day. All Americans would instantly be in danger. Local law enforcement would be overwhelmed. What would be your chances of survival? Yesterday, I wrote about the fact that FEMA has conducted research studies on America’s level of preparedness and the news is not good. FEMA concluded that 72% of all Americans are not prepared to survive what is coming In other words, when society begins to fragment, you and your fellow preppers are outnumbered by a 3 to 1 margin.

Headline GDP, factory output, property values, heavy-equipment sales, fixed asset investment…
All of these measures and more are painting an increasingly bleak picture of China’s economy. The slump has roiled stock markets (which were blown into a massive bubble) and spurred an emergency devaluation of the yuan.
Yet, the China’s economy continues to sputter. And that has policymakers weighing their options – including a multi-trillion yuan fiscal stimulus similar to the one deployed during the financial crisis.

that would expose America’s continuing use of dangerous and often lethal

Coupled with the refusal by the U.S. military to provide affected veterans with the requested files on America’s chem-bio warfare program is the Pentagon’s recent disclosure that live anthrax samples were sent from the U.S. Army’s Dugway Proving Ground in Utah to all 50 states, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam, and nine nations – Canada, Japan, Britain, South Korea, Australia, Italy, Norway, Germany, and Switzerland.

This was quite a good piece and extremely correct but misses the point I
tried to make yesterday and one I will try again with today. He is
right on target, we have a superpower waning, technology advancing
faster than ever and all wrapped around a financial bubble of
unprecedented size. Yes it presents risk and offers opportunity …but
this is not about “money”, rather it is about “the” money.

On Saturday, September 12th, In Syria and elsewhere, the U.S. allies

and Al Qaeda Islamic jihadists, even while the U.S. wages war against
those jihadists. This has puzzled some people, because the U.S.
propaganda-line about the matter doesn’t make much sense.
For example, the “Billionaire Scion Tom Friedman” wrote in his NYT column, on September 2nd:
It is not an accident that several thousand Saudis have joined the Islamic State or that Arab Gulf charities have sent ISIS donations. It is because all these Sunni jihadist groups — ISIS, Al Qaeda, the Nusra Front — are the ideological offspring of the Wahhabism injected by Saudi Arabia into mosques and madrasas from Morocco to Pakistan to Indonesia. And we, America, have never called them on that — because we’re addicted to their oil [emphasis mine].
