Russell Napier Reveals The "Only Question That Matters For Global Investors"

Only one question matters for global investors - Where is the helicopter? Helicopter money will be raining from the skies in Japan, the Eurozone, the UK and even in the USA. This form of reflation will likely work and in due course work too much. Few things are binary in investment, but this huge decision to be taken in Berlin is the biggest binary event for investors this analyst has yet come across.

Deutsche Bank's Chief Economist Calls For €150 Billion Bailout Of European Banks

David Folkerts-Landau, the chief economist of Deutsche Bank, has called for a multi-billion dollar bailout for European banks. Speaking to Germany's Welt am Sonntag, the economist said European institutions should get fresh capital for a recapitalization following a similar bailout in the US. What he didn't say is that the US bailout took place nearly a decade ago, in the meantime Europe's financial sector was supposed to be fixed courtesy of "prudent" fiscal and monetary policy. It wasn't.

Theory Of "Conspiracy Theorists"

It seems to have become one of the most popular ways of ridiculing somebody’s argument or position, calling into question someone’s sanity or even somebody’s right to their very own existence in recent years are "You’re a conspiracy theorist!","That sounds like a conspiracy theory to me!" The definition of conspiracy insists on the “evil, harmful, bad” side of things.  In other words; in the English language, it is impossible to conspire to do good. Here however are some alternative definitions of “conspiracy theorist”: someone who has seen through the bullshit; and/or someone who questions the statement of known liars.

"The World Is Walking From Crisis To Crisis" - Why BofA Sees $1,500 Gold And $30 Silver

The world has been walking from crisis to crisis and we see risks that this may not change. The importance of that dynamic for the precious metals is mirrored by the high correlation between potential US GDP growth and gold quotations. Interest  rates globally are set to remain low, which in turn reduces the opportunity costs of holding a non-yielding asset like gold. We believe gold prices could rise to $1,500/oz near-term. We called a bottom in silver in April on supply and demand dynamics; an overshoot of prices to $30/oz is possible.

China To Use Pension Funds As $300 Billion "Plunge Protection Team"

The country’s local retirement savings managers, which manage about $300 billion, are handing over some of their cash to the National Council for Social Security Fund, which will oversee their investments in securities including equities. Why the shift? Simple: to help stabilize markets during the next rout. During last year’s tumble, policy makers armed state-run investing company China Securities Finance Corp. with more than $480 billion to try and limit declines. Now it's the pensions' turn.

The Unlikely Story That A Panty Theft Sparked The Dallas Shooter's Downfall

Exactly how Micah Johnson came to be the man who murdered five police officers in Dallas remains unsolved. Johnson, a mid-twenties man (much like Bin Laden's son), apparently had taken his love for the ladies a little too far when he was serving in the Army Reserves. The killer who "stated that he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers", as we posted, had an apparent fetish for women's panties.

Charting The Epic Collapse Of The World's Most Systemically Dangerous Bank

It’s been almost 10 years in the making, but the fate of one of Europe’s most important financial institutions appears to be sealed. But, if the deaths of Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns were quick and painless, the coming demise of Deutsche Bank has been long, drawn out, and painful.

Irony Of The Day: Hollande Lectures US About Trump; Two-Way Frexit?

Hollande, whose popularity is in the gutter, lectures the US about Trump when a two-way “Frexit” looms in France: once from the Euro and a second from the EU. “The arguments in the Brexit vote and in the American presidential campaign are about the same,...In a friendly way, may I also give some advice to the American people to make the right choice when the moment comes.”

CHINA TO US: WE’RE READY TO FIGHT IF NEEDED AND RUSSIA HAS OUR BACK

by James Holbrooks, Underground Reporter:
South China Sea — Beijing should be ready to “let the US pay a cost it cannot stand if it intervenes in the South China Sea dispute by force,” an editorial in a Chinese state-run paper warned on Tuesday — less than a week before the International Court at The Hague (ICH) is set to rule on a territorial disagreement between China and the Philippines.
“China hopes disputes can be resolved by talks,” wrote the Global Times, “but it must be prepared for any military confrontation. This is common sense in international relations.”
