A Huge Move is Coming

The Greek opposition is going to lose, by hook or crook. The entirety of the European cognoscenti is against the Greek left wing. To think the election is going to be fair and honest is laughable, at a minimum, hysterical at normal speeds.

If you are short, essentially, you are betting on a full collapse of the EU. The fundamentals do not matter right now, since there is 1,000 points up or down from current levels, based upon the recent friction. Be honest with yourself: do you believe the status quo, who’ve invested trillions of dollars on keeping this circus act going, is going to, all of a sudden, have a change of heart and let everything melt, pathetically?

Come on.

You, Sir, are delusional.

If I end up being wrong, and lose tragic amounts of coin, I will do so in baronial fashion. I do not bend and I shall not change my mind. It’s all or nothing and I am of the opinion that I shall have it all.

    Say QE happens. Say it goes up 1000 points. Then what will you do? Sell short? Retire. Stay long? What will you do after this QE?

    Don’t worry, 0bama will pull out all the stops to get re-elected. First, he will back any failed nation in the EU with cold hard cash and right now he is making sure gas heads down to two-fiddy a gallon. Then there is the Oct surprise, but he can’t wait that long, he will have to reveal it soon. (It was going to be the gay thing but I screwed that up by tipping my hat too soon).

    The entire Theater being presented via the Eurozone is only being done so the individuals Countries which comprise it will give up some of their Individual Soverienty, The Euro zone will then be more unified and the Euro will strengthen and dollar will fall. Same will happen to the U.S. The show must go on

    This smells of the debt ceiling issue, when everyone was chomping at the bit over the weekend that 9Bama would resolve it – executive order type of shit.

    Not that I disagree that an election can’t be fixed, the consequences are dire either way. Besides Greece feels like a sideshow now with all the other shitty data coming in.

        Bullshit never really matters. With money you can get people to pretend that your bullshit matters.

        It’s good to make money. But also good to appreciate other things besides money in this world. Money ain’t nothing, but it ain’t everything either. Not everyone’s family life is working out well. But if it is, Razor is right, it’s enjoyable then to appreciate your family.

            Stopping and smelling the roses and enjoying the family helps you to take your time in making money, which is usually the only way you can make it.

            MSFT and AAPL weren’t built in a day. And a trader doesn’t need to be trading the market every day either. Like Chess always says, sometimes you don’t have an edge to trade off of, so you wait until you do.

    My view is that the Europe situation will have to venture to the brink a couple more times at least before all the parties come to an agreement that makes enough Euros available to keep the vultures away for an extended period (a few tens of months?).

    Buy the brinks, sell the relief. I don’t see the Europeans reaching an agreement that allows for much economic growth. They have to speed up to zero growth first.

    Do people realize that Spain has a better debt to GDP ratio than the US!!! If Greece hangs around and Euro bonds are even mentioned a few more times this summer than the global hedge fund wolf pack will close out their collective leveraged TRILLION dollar EURO/Swap/bond shorts as the small bullish reversal door shuts down to a tiny little opening. MELT UP. The Germans have benefitted greatly from a “cheap” Euro relative to the old half gold Mark. It behooves them to throw the hungry dogs the credit card whenever they get desperate, so that all those Mercedes E Classes continue to sell for $50,000 ish instead of $75,000+.
    Euro Bonds would do a lot of good to prove to the Western Hedge Fund Wolf Pack that they just can’t keep coming in and making a tough situation worse. Oh yeah if you haven’t been to Spain its absolutely stunning. For all you idiots buying repoed homes in crap town USA, I have been thinking that long Spain is a play on some of the best dirt to own in the Eastern Hemisphere.

      “I have been thinking that long Spain is a play on some of the best dirt to own in the Eastern Hemisphere”

      And that rather nicely explains why so much private capital flowed into Spain, creating the massive real estate bubble and uncompetitive pricing on labor, etc., that left Spain crippled when the credit dried up.

        Same deal with Ireland, Portugal, etc. I was looking at vacation real estate prices in Portugal before the bust and I was absolutely shocked (really shocked, no hyper-bowl [sic]) at how expensive the prices were.

        I don’t know how the narrative got flipped to the fantasy they’re selling now to support austerity, but it clearly was a case of tonnes of mis-investment by the banks, and now the banks need to be bailed out, and the politicians are too stupid or corrupt to just bail them. But of course that doesn’t support the narrative of the lazy spendthrift Greeks, the lazy southerners, and the smart thrifty Germans.

        The Brits had it right. Stay from the Euro, bail out the banks, and get ensnared in Rupert Murdock’s sleazy games.

        I would never buy outright but their banks are tied to it, just sayin. I bought EWP calls a few days ago and am pretty excited that the Greeks are seeing the light as are the Germans.

    At SOME point, bailouts become meaningless and numbers become insurmountable.

    Some ONE has to take pennies on the dollar (euro whatever) to reestablish equilibrium.

    The banking class is LOSING control (and by the way, do not have innate control)

    Raise Taxes, Raise Spending

    Europe will need to eventually write down a ton of debt. The deflationary pressure will be extreme. The printing presses will have to run flat out just to maintain the status quo.

    After years of miniscule interest rates and vast gov’t injections of cash into the economy, we should be experiencing runaway inflation. Why are we not?

    People have lost faith in the intrinsic value of things, whether they be companies, land, metals, anything. The only thing people want is cash money and if they have it they don’t want to give it up. How else to explain it’s stubborn refusal to deteriorate in value despite the govt’s best efforts.

    What to do, what to do?
