Ieri DOW a reusit sa revina la 10.000 si azi a inceput hotarat sa-si pastreze valoarea. Aurul tocmai a depasit si el acum cateva minute un nou record, sarind peste bariera de 1100 USD pe uncie. Interesanta saptamana, chiar daca trendul descrescator nu a fost inca stabilit, am avut variatii puternice. Dar sa vedem ce stiri am mai avut si in rest pentru acest final de saptamana.

Somajul oficial in US a atins 10.2% din cate se pare: Unemployment hits 10.2%
Cel real a trecut de mult de 20% dar ce mai conteaza: Unemployment SGS Alternate

Bancile devin tot mai disperate dupa cash:

Citigroup, Bank Of America Among Companies Hoarding Cash

The Wall Street Journal reports this morning that, in response to the financial crisis, U.S. companies are hoarding more cash than they have in the last 40 years.

Among these corporate cash-savers are banks like Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase, two institutions are holding onto funds "as if another financial crisis were on the way," reports Bloomberg.

Un raport interesant insotit de comentariile lui Denninger despre cum mai stau lucrurile la AIG:

Breaking Up The Big Banks?

He left Geithner with two documents. One was a fact sheet that listed all the attributes of AIG FP [the division run by Joe Cassano that blew the company up] and argued why it should be given status as a primary dealer. The other–a bombshell that Willumstad was confident would draw Geithner’s attention–was a report on AIG’s counterparty exposure around the world, which included “2.7 trillion of notional derivative exposures, with 12,000 individual contracts.” About halfway down the page, in bold, was the detail that Willumstad hoped would strike Geithner as startling: “$1 trillion of exposures concentrated with 12 major financial institutions.”

Was that a threat?

And isn't threatening the United States (whether directly or otherwise) something you're not supposed to do?

Sounds like "Bail me out or I will crash everything."

Isn't that analagous to walking into a bank, opening one's coat to reveal an explosives-laced belt, and saying "gimme all the money or everyone dies!"

Does such an act constitute a terroristic threat? You decide.

Then decide whether or not anything has actually changed for the better in terms of stability, or whether we're really in far more danger than we were last fall, as we've not only failed to de-fuse the bomb, we've allowed those who made the threats to profit from it - and thus have increased, rather than decreased, the risk of an all-on collapse.

Valoarea metalului din care sunt facute anumite monede a ajuns sa fie mai mare decat cea inscrisa pe moneda. In unele cazuri, chiar mult mai mare. Ca sa vezi cum fura inflatia asta din valoarea banilor:

Melt value of old and new coins

Scroll to the bottom of the page. 1964 dimes worth $1.24,1964 quarters worth $3.11..lots more.

Cand vine vorba de probabilistica, Goldman Sachs sfideaza orice logica sau matematica:

Absolute Perfection: Goldman Loses Money On Just One Trading Day In Q3

Once again, Goldman Sachs has managed to redefine probability, this time with ONE losing trading day in the latest quarter (64 trading days), a 98.44% success rate.

How the SEC is not investigating this just defeats me. It's just not possible in a normally operating market. I'm fuming.

Economistii si asa-zisii analisti se scarpina in cap de cand teoria lor nu se mai pupa cu criza actuala:

Crisis Compels Economists To Reach For New Paradigm (M.W.)

The crisis has exposed the inadequacy of economists' traditional tool kit, forcing them to revisit questions many had long thought answered, such as how to tame disruptive boom-and-bust cycles.

Se intampla si la case mai mari. Va invit la un filmulet interesant despre derivative si Greenspan, fostul boss de la FED:




Iar in final, cateva sfaturi privind neutralizarea unui vaccin. Pentru cei care mai cred ca au libertatea de a alege ce vor sa faca cu propriul corp:

Cum poti neutraliza o vaccinare facuta (in cazul vaccinarii fortate)

1. Vom avea la indemana un tub cu pasta de argila, tifon si banda autoadeziva. Mergeti repede la baie dupa injectie si intindeti argila pe locul vaccinului, puneti tifonul si bandajati. Tineti pentru 2 ore cel putin bandajul si vaccinul va fi absorbit in proportie de aproape100% de argila. Procedura a fost testata pe copii, caini si pisici fiind eficace cu un procent de aproape 100% fara aparitia de eruptii ale pielii, febra ,oboseala.

2. Pentru siguranta dvs puteti mai bine actiona si cu: Clorura de magneziu, 40 ml solutie pt adult si 25 ml pt copii, de 3 ori pe zi, in ziua vaccinarii si apoi ziua urmatoare. Prepararea solutiei: 20 grame la 1 litru de apa.

3. Extract de seminte de grepfruit: 30 picaturi in apa, intr-un pahar de apa, de 3 ori pe zi, 2-3 zile. Extractul de seminte de grepfruit impreuna cu argintul coloidal e cel mai puternic antiviral si antimicotic natural cunoscut. Vitamina C: 2-3 grame pe zi 2-3 zile.
