What's Next For Big Oil Now Brazilian President Rousseff Is Suspended?

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/12/2016 - 18:20 For the oil industry, nothing is clear. While the industry is seeking reforms on a number of levels, including changes to rules that require state-run Petrobras to have a 30-percent operating stake in all sub-salt projects and changes to tough local content rules, nothing is likely to be decided until Rousseff’s status is definitive. At the same time, there were already indications that the oil industry was gaining ground with the current government.

World's Most Bearish Hedge Fund Manager: "I Think Something Has Changed"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/12/2016 - 16:48 "The message that I am getting from the market, the “something” that has changed is that the US dollar is no longer a strong currency. Typically the US dollar falls when its economic cycle begins to roll over. Many of the indicators that I look at show the US is either in or heading for recession."

Nordstrom Plummets After Reporting Terrible Earnings, Slashing Guidance

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/12/2016 - 16:20 The reason why the stock is getting monkeyhammered after hours is that the company slashed its guidance, and instead of seeing a 0-2% increase in comp sales, JWN now expects -1 to +1% for 2016. Worst of all is that instead of seeing EPS of $3.10-$3.35, Nordstrom slashed earnings guidance, and now expects only $2.50-$2.70 in EPS for the full year.

June 2003 - The Fed's Brief Moment Of Clarity

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/12/2016 - 15:25 We have referred to the June 2003 FOMC meeting many times before and we suspect that we will continue to do so long into the future. It was one of those events that should be marked in history, truly relevant to the future developments that became panic and now sustained economic decay. It’s as if the committee members at that time anticipated their current powerlessness – yet did nothing about it. Their preferred course from that moment until August 2007 was relieved ignorance, as Greenspan admitted at the time, " I don’t think we know enough about how the private financial system works under these conditions [sub-1% rates],  I don’t believe, that we can construct an effective preemption strategy. Well, we can construct a strategy, but I’m fearful that it would not be very useful."

Major Court Ruling Against Obamacare, "Insurers Will Scream"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/12/2016 - 14:52 Healthcare insurers are already taking it on the chin. Some insurers got out of the healthcare business entirely, others stopped coverage in multiple states due to mounting losses. What happened is healthy individuals, especially millennials decided to opt out of Obamacare. Those who opted in after having been denied coverage previously were high-cost individuals. Adding fat to the fire, a federal court ruled today that “cost sharing reductions”  to insurers are unconstitutional payments.

Dear Homeowner, What Exactly Do You "Own"?

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/12/2016 - 14:19 If we understand property taxes as a lease from the local government for the right to gamble on another housing bubble arising, we see "ownership" in a different light. As the saying goes, buyer beware, especially if there's no limit on how high desperate local governments can jack up their lease fees, i.e. property taxes.

DOLLAR DEMISE: SILVER MOVES TO CHINA — David Morgan

by SGT, SGT Report.com:
Clif High’s web bot project has been long been predicting that silver and gold will skyrocket higher as the US Dollar loses its dominion as the world’s reserve currency. And as the once formidable Dollar ultimately begins to hyperinflate as nations lose all confidence in the Federal Reserve Note, the web bots predict triple digit silver prices and eventually even a 1 to 1 silver to gold ratio in coming years. Will it really happen? No one can say with certainty, but there are very concrete signs that the cracks in the western banking system and fiat Dollar are about to turn into gaping fissures. Meanwhile, China is hoarding PHYSICAL silver at the Shanghai Gold Exchange and openly encouraging Chinese citizens to acquire physical silver and gold as a way to protect their wealth. It’s a paradigm shift of epic proportion, away from paper Dollars and into PHYSICAL metal. David Morgan from The Morgan Report is here to discuss it all. Thanks for tuning in.

SCURRYING FOR THE EXITS

by Andy Hoffman, Miles Franklin.com:
Hey, I never said it would be easy; and fighting for financial survival, in a dangerous world where the “powers that be” want us dead – or more aptly put, destitute – is the most difficult task I have ever faced.  Thankfully, 14 years of experience, hard work, and perseverance have enabled me to survive the Cartel’s “best shots.”  However, the sum total of the stress I, and many of you, have endured – not just from manipulated markets, but broadly speaking, the horrific ramifications of history’s largest, most destructive fiat Ponzi scheme, is difficult to conceive.
Frankly, I’m not sure exactly what I’m “rooting” for anymore – although I assure you, it’s not Armageddon, financially or otherwise.  No, like you, I simply want to be rewarded for hard work, foresight, and prudence – which in this case, involves higher Precious Metal prices.  The fact that I know they will rise as the fiat Ponzi inevitably implodes certainly helps me sleep at night – as does the fact that I long ago eschewed speculative “paper PM investments” for actual, physical metal.

Trump’s Time: The Donald Can Beat Hillary Without NeverTrump

by Roger Stone via Lew Rockwell:
As Donald Trump prepares for an epic battle with “First Enabler” Hillary Clinton, the media is too focused on party unity and are oblivious to the fact that denunciation of Trump by failed elites like the Bush’s as well as the prevarications of Paul Ryan only fuel his rise, as did the opposition of Mexico’s ex-president, the Chinese Communists, the Pope, David Cameron, the Saudis, and Mitt Romney. The political class is discredited with voters hungry for change.
What they are missing are the millions of new voters and donors Trump has brought to the party, with the GOP contest drawing two million more voters than the rather boring Hillary v. Bernie bout. It is important to note that in 2012, a change in just 700,000 votes in five states would have changed the outcome of the election.
