The American
leading indicators are drifting lower again.
Bloomberg suffered an unprecedented
global computer outage on Friday, disrupting trading around their world and frustrating
investors just when they most needed to take action. Stocks slid, completing the worst week of the
year, with German stocks hit hard as concern grows over Greece ’s
negotiations with creditors. Putin’s
gift of a missile defense system this week has destroyed any leverage Obama
once had with Iran and it is
anticipated Putin has quietly undermined the EU with regard to Greece .
Early April 17 The
Stoxx Europe 600 Index lost 1.8 percent to 403.6 at 4:32 p.m. in London , the biggest
decline since January. All 19 industry groups slid. Germany ’s DAX Index slid 5.6
percent for the period, the worst drop since 2011. Greece ’s ASE Index sank 3 percent,
pushing the gauge to the worst weekly performance among western-European
markets.
European
stocks fell for a second day after reaching a fresh peak Wednesday, taking
weekly losses to 2.3 percent. The Stoxx 600’s still up 18 percent this year,
trading near the highest level relative to projected profits of its members in
at least a decade.
There were a few stock market head fakes
but no market scores Thursday. The major American markets again tested but failed
to break out and even fell slightly.
Friday could be Black Friday or perhaps it will sink in by Monday after
another Friday head fake rally. We are
at the historic highs and Mad Money has all the weak corporations hiding debts,
losses, and declining revenues by playing games with their books. But the government regulators now live in
fear that the hundreds of $billions in repo market credit are only backed by
the full faith, credit, and honesty of a junior varsity of untested traders.
The major
markets in Europe finished with large losses Thursday amid renewed concerns
that Greece
could default on its debts or worse yet perhaps rent harbor space to Russian destroyers
in order to make their payments. Putin
is still considering selling older nuclear weapons to their Mid East ally Iran . Obama let Iran
invade Iraq to fight ISIS
and now Iran
won’t leave. Half of Iraqis are Shiite Moslems
and Iran
wants to annex them now.
The five American
markets we follow were all down and four of them were on higher than average
volume. Again the market lost steam as
it approached old highs and then sunk back from the previous day’s close.
Sluggish
housing starts have shaken builders’ confidence.
April 16 Larry
Fink today said that people who are investing with anticipating starting to use
the funds within less than 20 years should be out of the stock market now
because it could be 20 years to break even.
He said the big pension funds are now only 10% in stocks and 90% in
bonds. Under normal times they would be
50-50 in a balanced pension funds but it could be 20 years before the stock
market sees the level it is at today.
After all it was 14 years ago that that the stock market was as high as
it is now. Once again highs were
touched on Wednesday but there were no index price breakouts. On a more accurate cash flow basis, all five
of the five indices we follow appear to be topping out.
George Bush got
us out of the recession that followed Clinton ’s
yr 2000 Dot Com bubble without Quantitative Easing. So far QE and everything else the
Obama-Hillary Stupid Party has done has incentivized social decay. And with no credible Stupid Party policies,
we have criminal immigration at home and criminal Islamic and Putin Russian
terror abroad destabilizing the world.
QE continues to drag the economy and infrastructure towards a breakdown
and the precipice of another Great Depression.
We have the precipice of another stock market catastrophe in front of us
ready to implode most of the wealth of the world. And we have the precipice of a QE meltdown
that could follow the depression with 1920’s type German hyperinflation that
triggered the rise of genocide and the last World War.
The stupid socialist’s
parties of Stalin and Hitler took control in the 1930’s and they both
exterminated their sick and poor under classes.
Everyone knows Hitler did it but few know that Stalin also starved to
death his 10 Million impoverished peasants and his 5 million small farmers
(Kulaks). Everyone knows that on the
“Night of the knives” Hitler had the stupid people of his underclass worker
party (Brown Shirts) that originally gave him his power… murdered. If the Stupid Party socialists get control of
the world again they will also exterminate their underclass and cater to the
wealthy just as the National and International socialists did. Today the Stupid Party already uses its power
to harass grass roots opponents and to reward the wealthy who contribute to
their political action committees and charities. http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/triumph/tr-roehm.htm
The growing
poor American underclass and the poor immigrants who refuse to learn English do
not realized that they could be used by the Stupid Party. Eventually Germany
and Russia
were ruled by “Executive Orders.” The
legislature was a rubber stamp, and the courts were appointed puppets of the
worshiped leaders. But when the German
socialists got their 98% majority vote that Obama said would be a good thing
for him, that is when they began to murder and expropriate the wealth of the
top 2% and followed that by quietly killing all the stupid, sick and weak of
the underclass that originally brought them to power. The Jewish population dominated the Banking
industry and was in the richest 2% when Hitler took power. In spite of their extraordinary wealth, the
socialists targeted them and directed hatred toward them and made them
scapegoats. Obama has frequently
targeted the richest 2% in America
and now they already support the Stupid Party.
The richest 2% think they can control the socialists with their
money. It took the “Stupid Nazis Party”
less than ten years to take control and expropriate all the wealth of the
richest 2% in Germany .
NBC’s Cramer is
once again badgering CEO’s and uses a wall of shame to incentivize corporations
to use creative accounting to hide weakening earnings. The Dollar strength is climbing again and
that is making the US
less competitive here and abroad. http://www.wsj.com/articles/pressure-in-repo-market-spreads-1428013415
MBA Mortgage

Empire
Manufacturing Apr -1.2 a sharp fall in business activity from last month.
Industrial
Production Mar -0.6% sharply lower
Capacity
Utilization Mar 78.4% still falling
April 15 China ’s economy
started the year on a downbeat note with its slowest quarterly growth rate in
six years and weakness in key sectors which suggests the world's second-largest
economy was still losing momentum.
April 14 On
Tuesday the market failed to break out again.
Emerging Markets, Small and Mid Caps, Semiconductors, Technology, and China stocks turned weaker while some US stocks rose
slightly. However no buy signals were
given. In fact within one or two weeks
the Nasdaq, Russell, Standard and Poors, DJIA and NYSE indices all could have
neckline breakdown sell signals with just slightly pessimistic news activity. The NASDAQ still is lower than it was on
March 3 of 2014. Yet all of the indices
are at their past bubble popping highs.
IPO prices are
'completely nonsensical because the world is flooded with credit not cash. Oil-rich nations are selling off their
petrodollar assets at record pace trying to raise cash and anticipating a
collapse in real estate transactions.
Interest rates
on national debt are plummeting and bank interest rates are starting to go
negative. Later this year we could be
looking at a potential run on bank savings accounts because banks pay too
little to offset the risk of a collapse of the world banking systems. Why
risk losing the money left at a bank that could go bankrupt? We do most transactions with credit cards not
cash and we do it transferring electrons (representing cash) across networks
not real cash. It came out just last
week that it was USA FBI agents who electronically stole the BitCoin funds last
year. If some bank reserves vanished
for a period of time and all you had was your cash held in your house, could
your family live on it for a week? What
if the computer system breakdown lasted a whole month or several months?
The Chinese economy
is sputtering, so why did China 's
stocks soar this past week? The country's trade surplus slipped from 40.3
billion to 18.16 billion Yuan. Exports plunged nearly 15 percent year-on-year,
and imports fell 12.3 percent. The Communists
apparently cracked down on gambling and the corruption cash outflows. Recently it all flowed into domestic stocks
which created an enormous bubble. More
bad news is expected Wednesday, when the government is scheduled to release
data on China ’s
gross domestic product for the first quarter. Industrial production was
"particularly weak" said Paribas’ Chief Economist Richard Iley.
Bloomberg Industries analyst Kenneth Hoffman added, "China 's metals
demand is plummeting," "and it's a lot worse than you think."
Pension funds are prepared now for an expected stock market
meltdown. For the first time in more
than a decade, they hold more bonds than in stocks.
Retail in March somewhat lower than expected. http://hosting.briefing.com/cschwab/Calendars/EconomicReleases/retail.htm
Consumer prices decline as Obama deflation/depression sets
in.
Business sales and inventories are slow under the Stupid
Party.
The stupid party has a presidential candidate now. It is the same person who abandoned the
American Consulate in Libya
allowing four Americans to be killed by Islamic Terrorists and then she blamed
an American Jew for her incompetence because the American film maker dared to
make a film on Islam. The film maker
simply showed that the Prophet took a bride of nine years of age. That is not an insult to Islamists only the
film maker being Jewish is an insult to them.
To this day men in Islamic nations and ISIS
territory can take brides as young as nine years because the prophet did it. No it was Hilary’s incompetence for not protecting
any US embassy on the
anniversary of the 911 attacks on the World Trade
Towers . On the next anniversary of 911, every embassy
was in lockdown in a Stupid Party opposite extreme.
By Tuesday evening I checked, and this site was then working
correctly. Earlier it had appeared
sabotaged. I ran into another
administration negative site last week that appeared to try to launch a virus
attack. One button cut off an attack
and then I did a security scan and the attack was thwarted. The politics of the Stupid Party is becoming
more dangerous for freedom of speech as well as for religion. The IRS attack on Historical Societies, the
Tea Party and other "dangerous" thinkers in 2012 showed Americans the
repulsive practices of the Stupid Party. http://video.foxnews.com/v/4168832065001/judge-jeanine-hillary-clinton-is-only-out-for-herself/?intcmp=obnetwork#sp=show-clips
April 13 The Nasdaq,
Russell, Standard and Poors, and NYSE indices all ended at and tested their
highs and failed on their first attempt to break out. The NYSE has gone nowhere since July 3, 2014.
The DJIA has gone nowhere since Dec 8, 2014.
Standard and Poors has gone nowhere since Feb 27, the Nasdaq and Russell
have been topped out since March 3. It
is possible
While the DJIA ended above its 18000 level it was still more
than 1% below its high. Monday will be a
critical test and if there is no breakout virtually every American index will
likely have seen its high for this year.
There is still so much money chasing investments and this will be a
major test of the NYSE sell signal last year that has been the NYSE limit since
July 2014. If this test does not result
in a breakout buy signal, then we expect a major breakdown of the other indices
starting very soon. Caution is advised.
