November 20 The DJI still has not mustered the investment cash needed to reach a previous high in the hedge fund’s favorite index of over weighted stocks. Time is now running out along with hedge fund investment cash. The WSJ has been providing bad information of late. They have recently kept showing a 65 day moving average instead of the important 200 day moving average that is used to determine bear and bull markets. The 65 day moving averages are only used for tracking the smaller movements within the current bear market. When a 65 DMA is crossed in a bear market it does not indicate a bull market is starting. It is just a small fluctuation. Using the plotting tool we provided yesterday you can see that the DJI and the NYSE were more consistent 2004-2014 than they have been this last year. The DJI is a cherry picked version of America’s economic prospects. The NYSE is too broad and honest for market manipulators to use.

            According to the Oxford Economics research, China's slowdown is already dragging down commodity prices and trade partners around the world.  China's economy now accounts for 11 percent of world GDP and around 10 percent of world trade. Its financial system is massive, with its money supply now larger than the U.S.'s and now totals over 20 percent of the world's money supply.  So imagine what happens in the first economic hard-landing that China faces.   
            Already the experts are pointing to the decline in oil tanker transport and are now predicting oil prices will drop to $30/barrel before this recession is over.  The US Fed refuses to confirm that the world has entered a recession because they must raise rates soon or they will lose interest rates as a means to stimulate the economy.  But be aware that when the FED rate goes from 0.25% to 0.5%, bank debt will have to contract 50% just or else borrowers will pay 100% more to service the same amount of debt.  Ultimately borrowers will be driven to deleverage 50% to maintain the status quo.  That means there will be tremendous stock and debt liquidation that will shock all the world markets with even a 0.25% Fed hike.   
            Lawmakers could use a must-pass government spending bill due by Dec. 11 to ensure that Syrian and Iraqi refugees must sign a pledge to support the American Constitution and obey all the federal, state, town and local laws.   Essentially Republicans say the refugees must agree to be good citizens just to enter the USA.  Some Republicans have backed defunding the entry of Syrian and Iraqi refugees.   If the EU, Syria, or American Churches, Mosques, political groups, politicians or other individuals want the immigration they should pay for it not the American public.  Put your money where your mouth is.  Pre-pay each immigrant to be vetted before they can enter.   Sponsors should be held liable for any terrorist they sponsored. Thursday’s House vote had 47 Democrats supporting the Immigration bill, making it a veto-proof majority.
           November 19  The DJI, usually the last index standing, is now getting ready to give a sell signal.  Stocks have had a case of bad breadth.  If you look at the following plot for the last 200 days you see that the DJI which has little breadth is now topping out and the rally these last three days is probably the last attempt to break out and set a new high.  If it fizzles and later breaks the Aug 25 low you will see an avalanche of selling because all the selective and easily manipulated indices will then confirm the sell signals that the broader NYSE and Russell 2000 have already given.  This is a great free plotting tool and you can plot up to a 9 portfolio stocks or indices together for comparison and making decisions.
            Six potential terrorists were detained in S. America with fake Syrian passports on there way to enter the USA through the Mexican border.  The stupid party leaders are so stupid that they are willing to destroy the Democrat Party by subjecting American citizens to ISIS attacks.   Americans will never forgive Hilary and the others supporting the settlement of ISIS age men and women in America.  There are no records other than potentially forged passports for the ISIS/Assad war refugees and therefore no intelligent vetting is even remotely possible.  But we have a “stupid party” in power and a stupid administration that intends to force unwilling states to absorb thousands of potentially dangerous immigrants.   If you watched the video’s of the immigrants streaming into Europe anyone can see that more than half are the age of the primitive/savage ISIS army head hunters.  Yet Obama continually lies and says only a few percent of the immigrants are of army age and most are women and children.  Obama threatens he will force the ISIS infiltrators on the states by using his executive orders.  This is yet another reason a great majority of Americans want to throw the entire stupid party out of power and fire all the stupid US government employed criminals that were hired to harass non-profit groups that had patriotic or religious members.
            Most IPO’s during the past year such as Alibaba were overpriced at three or four times their true value and are one of the reasons the traditional business cycle stock market collapse often overshoots to a 90% market loss from the highs.  Alibaba already has dropped about 50% from the IPO level and the market bottom is still at least a few months away.  The hot technology start-ups market is showing signs of the final collapse coming.
            The minutes of the central bank’s October meeting shows that most of the 17 Fed officials who participated in the debate expected that the economy would be ready for a rate increase by December.   It will be the first contraction in credit in almost ten years.
            Target’s growth slowed in all categories including the technology toys of the Obama dropout generation.  Cell phones and games play a significant roll in the “Stupid Party’s” support from dropouts.  Unfortunately for the stupid party the dropouts would rather play games than work for a living or register and vote.  But even so digital and online sales are now declining everywhere as the “stupid party” generation can’t find enough entry level part-time jobs.  
            We have a whole new stupid-party generation of ignorant students demonstrating on campuses calling Thomas Jefferson and other American heroes racists.   They lack the knowledge to understand slavery was everywhere since 4000BC with the Egyptian Empire as an economic system that flourished until 1830 when Britain was the first to outlaw the slave trade.  And these new stupid party recruits are too ignorant to even know that Thomas Jefferson, a slave holder, founded the Democrat Party which Obama and Hilary have morphed into the US “stupid party.”  The stupid party leader Obama claims that the USA is still a racist society and yet he was elected to the highest position in America.  What does that say?  It says the “stupid party” is by their own definition a stupid or racist group, and their target group now is the white minority who are successful.   The dropout Adolf Hitler also saw the successful Jewish minority as too successful and that was his proof of them being exploiters.  Hitler got the power to kill them and steal their wealth.  The racists in America are now the majority, they hold the White House, and they regularly attack and try to deny the free speech of the “minority Americans” who study hard, work hard, and earned everything they got. 
            November 18   The latest economic data indicates cash is becoming tight and the American economy has now peaked.   The stock market is a leading indicator of the economy and the cash flow into the stock market is a leading indicator of the market price levels.   But once the stock market peaks and begins to decline you can see that it provides feedback to the market prices and that becomes a second order accelerating instability.  That usually results in a rapid market decline that is four or five times faster than a bull market moves because layoffs escalate, mergers decline, personal income declines, sales, decline, and a host of economic factors spin down and bottom out fast.  The system essentially goes off a cliff, hits bottom in four or six months and then resumes the long term economic and business trend. 
            The market anchor men and women all blow bullish and bearish with the wind.  There is no one in the media who knows anything.  They select and pull in the so called experts each day that provide whatever bull or bear story they are selling investors that day.  If the market went up they provide canned reasons and predict it is a bull market.   If the market goes down it’s a correction but don’t worry.  They provide worthless advice because they can only explain away anything in the past yet they know nothing about causes and effects that affect the future.
            Walmart raised prices and wages so income dropped 3%.   The idiot market anchor men and women spun it as positive because the higher prices caused higher revenue.  Dumb, dumb, dumb.
            Housing Starts Oct 1060K sharply down from 1206K last month even though good warm weather helps housing.  The warm weather was also irrationally blamed for the retail sales decline.  It is cold now and nothing has picked up.
Industrial Production September and October months were both down -0.2%.
The NAHB Housing Market Index for Nov was 62.0 down from 65 in Oct.
New York Manufacturing down in Nov -10.7 after being down -11.4 last month.
Consumer Price Index Oct up 0.2%
Core CPI September and October was up 0.2% as the FED has for the goal to raise interest rates.
            The stupid party wants to settle Islamic Sharia law fundamentalists in America and does not think they should be required to pledge allegiance to our government and disavow Sharia law as incompatible with the American Constitution.  This new stupid party effort just adds to the anger Americans feel toward Hilary Obama and their stupid party.  The Clintons persecuted Christian fundamentalists, a special forces veteran at Wako, and a Wako religious group that was slandered falsely before they slaughtered the men, women, and children.
What do Moslem newscasters think of Obama?
 
November 17   Finally Obama has given his full list of extremists.  At first the list was given to his IRS chief Lois Lerner so she would persecute  any group or person associated with terms like hunting, target, tea party, patriot, founding fathers, Christian, fundamentalism, Republican, historical society, or other “extremist label” as defined by Obama and the “Stupid Party.”  Yesterday Obama completed his list of extremists calling the terrorist attacks in Paris yet another, “terrible and sickening setback in the fight against extremism.”   Yes Obama puts ISIS right up there with Christian Fundamentalist summer camps as ISIS type extremists.  More than 80% of Americans who are already “extremely angry” now they find themselves lumped in with ISIS as extremists by Obama and his “Stupid Party.”
         In many ways the response of the American stock market yesterday was sickening.  All other major world stock markets fell but in America the terrorist attack caused sick people to invest heavily thinking war, persecution, and terror would be good for capitalism. 
         Bjorn Lomborg points out in today’s WSJ that the UN climate change chief wants a lasting economic solution and that the conference delegation from Bolivia proposes that the lasting solution is, “We must destroy capitalism.”  Yesterday’s American stock market reaction was disgusting and shows a war mongers enthusiasm that ISIS terrorism (Obama’s extremism) will help American armaments, spying, oil, nuclear, medical, and technology industries.   Yesterday the American markets were a rising toilet boll of opportunity.  Our view of current stock market is that it will go much lower and have its final flush some time in early spring.
            November 16   On Friday morning “clueless in DC” Obama said his enemy ISIS JV team had been contained.  Democrat candidates had blamed the rise of ISIS on Climate change.   What happened?  The Democrats were pretty good in the early 1960’s under Kennedy!  But by 1969 they were so open-minded that their brains fell out and they are now terminally stupid.  Donald Trump is not trumping all the idiot candidates who pooh-pooh evidence of immigrant criminals destroying Western Civilization with both ruthless drug cartels and insane ruthless Islamic groups.  We expect the sharp selloff of the stock market will soon accelerate because the Obama government is still clueless.   The military industrial complex will likely benefit significantly.
       Wars like Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan have never been claimed a long term economic benefit but often they have been claimed the lesser of evils.  Today ISIS uses encrypted messages that we cannot break perhaps because they do it in a language we do not bother with.  Perhaps we had better crack their code quickly. 
            The world wide recession is deepening.  Quiet US Ports are evidence of a worldwide trade slowdown disaster.  Inventory/sales are peaking.
The 30% Solar Tax Credit ends in 2016 and that explains the disaster the solar industry is now anticipating.
American funds are heavily invested in China’s debt and Americans could end up paying for much of the overexpansion and completely vacant cities built in China.  This will cripple many on Wall Street and defaults escalate.
            November 15    It looks like we are seeing a repeat coming of the 30 year war (between 1618 and 1648) where Protestants fought back against Catholic Spanish armies that slaughtered protestant men, women, and children in central Europe.  2000 castles were destroyed and the Swedish King and his army came to the rescue and fought back the Spanish.   But that was not before 50% of the people in the areas affected of Europe were murdered.   The Pilgrims were disgusted with religious oppression and sailed to America and established the first permanent colony at Plymouth Massachusetts in 1620.   The Catholics reformed and no longer burn people at the stake or pull them apart on the rack.  Now it is time for the Moslems to learn the same lesson.
         This is edited from a retired RAF officer who served in the sixties and is now working and living in Germany.  It was written before the Islamic religious war started this week against the French.  Now France is bombing ISIS Moslems in retaliation.
 
Dear Friends,
         Europe is now in total chaos and I think that you should know about it.   The floodgates opened and, in my view, this was all pre-planned. It seems that some 8000 people per day are now entering Europe via various routes. Most of these are young males between 17 and 25. The result is chaos as you can imagine. Here in Saarland we have been overwhelmed with refugees. In Lebach, some 10 kilometers from here, a camp for 200 was set up and a further 100 added this last week. The politicians, local government and religious leaders have fallen over themselves to bring them in and cater for them.
        And so what is the result? In Ventimiglia near Monte Carlo, the refugees banded together (organized by smart phone) and over ran the market and stole or destroyed everything and ransacked the town Here in Lebach, a group entered a supermarket and took what they wanted and destroyed the rest. When the Manager confronted them, they called up their friends and smashed the place to bits. The police arrived but were overwhelmed. The supermarket is now closed.  Two supermarkets and a Kaufland store in Halle suffered the same way. More news is coming in from all over Germany of the same situations.  The media reported none of this.   Many people have demonstrated against being over run by immigrants.  In Weissenfels, families were thrown out of an eight flat apartment block and 70 refugees moved in.   Small towns of some 2000 to 3000 people are over run by some 5000 to 6000 refugees.
       Europe is in chaos and the do gooders have totally lost control of the situation. Islam has overwhelmed us.  Anyway, I thought that you should know that the situation here is pretty grim and I fail to see how it can be resolved. I can only foresee a police state.
 
The above could never happen in America because we have the second amendment and more armed Americans than the Chinese have in their army.  Americans would defend themselves and their property.
            Needless to say, horrible wars are not periods of good economic times.  People work much harder and live on rations.   Many corporations go under and the military industrial complex creates less than it destroys when there is war.  War may bring Putin and other dictators back into the fold of the Western democracies.   Will wars be declared?  Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, and Pakistan could all be forced to change one way or another with enforcement of a UN bill of human rights.
