    Comment: Around Washington mid-rise apartments, high density condos and Levittown “homes” are sprouting like weeds after a summer rainstorm.

    This must mean that austerity, economic responsibility and less growth in the size of the US government (and reduction in spending) has actually enabled more hiring, and pay raises for those who are already working for the taxpayers

    stuff disappears at inflection points.

    a few months from now, nobody will still think of the yuan as a potential global reserve currency.

      Cytokinetics is reviewing initial data from ATOMIC-AHF with Amgen. The European Society of Cardiology Congress (ESC) policy with regard to clinical trial results accepted for presentation at its Congress is that no results should be disclosed publicly until presented at the Congress or as may otherwise be approved in advance by the ESC. Cytokinetics does not have current plans to disclose results from ATOMIC-AHF prior to the ESC Congress 2013.

    Here is an interesting stat from PPT:

    Thursday clocked in with “% large caps ‘buy'” and “PPT Breadth” both under 10. This does not happen often. Looking from April 2010 (which is when the “% large caps ‘buy” stat is available) the following happend over the next 5 days:

    5/11/2010 SPY loss -1.43%
    5/13/2010 SPY gain 2.7%
    5/27/2010 SPY gain 2.99
    6/4/2010 SPY gain 2.68
    7/7/2010 SPY gain 1.81
    7/23/2010 SPY gain 3.51
    8/17/2010 SPY loss -2.48
    8/11/2011 SPY loss -2.43
    8/13/2011 SPY gain 7.44
    8/18/2011 SPY gain 1.54
    10/3/2011 SPY gain 8.77

    So you have 8 up, 3 down.
    Thursday and Friday were both under 10% on “% large caps ‘buy'” when this happens it almost always means there
    will be more oversold days ahead.
    Lotsa chop ahead take your chances on bounces, there will be other opportunities to get in.

    Wondering out loud? Does Ben know something we don’t, like China implosion, and he’s twiddling his thumbs wondering how he responds? China’s tanking, all the BRIC’s are in Freefall, and Japan is well, doing the kamikaze………….If so maybe the taper is predicated on him seeing a tsunami of money coming our way, as a safe haven play…………….giving him an out in the short term and a put in the long term if the infection of China Meltdown temporarily dislocates us……….he simply says, see it ain’t me, I have to print more to save our recovery

      China is trying to destroy their Shadow Bank System, they really dislike it a lot. BIS (bank if International Settlement) is even talking about “risk” for any more QE in the Global World. Ben is being kicked out the door, and maybe his handpicked Girl may not get the job either. So he doesn’t give a fuck much, his legacy is shot. Hot Money around the world is being dried up…and no one knows how to fix it. Bubbles always pop…the only true rule in this game.
