The Most Important Commodity For Housing Is Screaming “Recession”

Tyler Durden’s pictureSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 02/25/2015 16:53 -0500

While Crude Oil and Dr. Copper are often cited as economic indicators, as we noted previously, in fact Lumber prices are the most correlated with ISM and GDP of all industrial commodities (h/t @Not_Jim_Cramer). That is a problem. Lumber prices are tumbling – breaking to 18-month lows today. We have seen this picture before, and it did not end well…

All gains wiped out in the first half hour, from 1221 to 1207 on it’s way back to 1200

(Reuters) – China is building some “fairly amazing submarines” and now has more diesel- and nuclear-powered vessels than the United States, a top U.S. Navy admiral told U.S. lawmakers on Wednesday, although he said their quality was inferior.

Vice Admiral Joseph Mulloy, deputy chief of naval operations for capabilities and resources, told the House Armed Services Committee’s seapower subcommittee that China was also expanding the geographic areas of operation for its submarines, and their length of deployment.

Cangold to Be Acquired by Great Panther Silver

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/cangold-acquired-great-panther-silver-130000351.html

Great Panther (GPL) (GPR.to) to buy Cangold (CLD.v): Err, call me stupid but…

…I’m sure there are laws against this kind of thing.

1) Great Panther is a CAD$0.75 stock.

2) Cangold (CLD.v) is a 5c stock. Not only that but it’s currently at its lowest price ever.

3) That makes 1 GPR share worth 15 CLD shares, if my pocket calculator is working correctly today.

4) According to the terms of this deal, GPR issues one new share for every 20 CLD shares.

5) And here’s the rub: These companies have three directors in common (yup, three; count ’em up girls and boys)

It’s tough to pick out the highlight of this NR, but I’m going to go for this phrase…

“The Letter Agreement and the Loan were reviewed and approved by special committees consisting of independent directors of both Great Panther and Cangold.”

….due to the sheer brass neck of it. Independent? Fucking liars. One of the central tenets of public companies is the fiduciary duty that a board of directors must have towards its shareholders. But Kaare Foy, Robert Archer and their cronies are too busy trying to stuff their own pockets to give a rat’s ass about the minor details of things like morals or rules.

Capital Goods Shipments Tumble, 6th Miss In A Row

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/26/2015 – 08:56

Despite proclamations that “the shadow of crisis has passed,” November durable goods orders were weak, December durable goods orders were weaker, and while January’s noisy headline Durable Goods Orders beat expectations (+2.8% vs +1.6% exp), ex-Transportation it missed  (printing +0.3% vs +0.5% exp.). A quick glance at YoY core capex and it is clear that the crisis has anything but passed. Capital Goods shipments fell a greater than expected 0.3% (against expectations of a 0.2% rise) for the sixth miss in a row and 3rd drop in the last 4 months.

US Posts First Negative Inflation Print Since Lehman On Gas Price Plunge

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/26/2015 – 08:52 As previewed earlier today, January CPI data was historic in that, 6 years after Lehman, the US just reported its first negative headline CPI print, with overall inflation, or rather deflation, in January coming at -0.1%, in line with expectations, and down from the 0.8% in December. On a monthly basis, CPI tumbled by 0.7% from December, driven almost entirely by collapsing energy prices. Excluding the Great financial crisis, one has to go back a few years to find the last time the US posted annual headline deflation…. all the way back to August 1955, or just about the time Marty McFly was trying not to dance with his mother.

From Kunstler’s 2015 outlook

The dollar these days represents two kinds of capital. The first is the stuff that the US has built and invested in since, say, the end of World War Two: awasteland of aging and decrepitating suburban sprawl, that is, the infrastructure of a living arrangement with no future, the greatest entropic sink in human history. It extends to whole cities and their subsystems, e.g. the hell-hole of Las Vegas with Hoover dam and the dwindling reservoir of Lake Mead. Before mid-century, Las Vegas will be as desolate as Egypt’s Valley of the Kings. Try to imagine the money that went into building all that stupid shit in the desert. In another decade, across America, the housing subdivisions and commercial highway strips filled with tilt-up box stores, muffler shops and burger dispensaries will retain less value than the pyramids of Palenque had for the Mayans after their society rolled over and died. The so-called real economy is a New Age serfdom of burger fryers and janitors, indentured to that entropic sink. Below them is a widening slough of methedrine, child abuse, and tattoo art on its way to becoming Soylent Green. To put it bluntly, the dollar is entropy’s algo bitch.

The second kind of capital the dollar represents is the imaginary value based on sheer lying, making shit up, and borrowing from a future that has no chance of being paid back. This is the capital ginned up on “American exceptionalism” and “energy independence,” fairy tale memes functioning as collateral for the aforementioned malinvestments that add up to “The American way of life.” This capital has no substance, since it is just made up of intellectual and emotional dishonesty. This is the kind of constructed narrative that addicts and other functional cripples resort to to justify their behavior, and the fragility of it will sooner or later lead to the well-known condition of “hitting bottom.” That is the event horizon where the remnants of America enter what I call the World Made By Hand. It will be the greatest socio-economic shift since the fall of Rome, only much swifter.

the big boys trading Gold are only interested in forcing Gold to trade based off of fibonacci support levels right now. You can see the $1,2000 level is being tested and they’re faking people out.

Special cup for silverngold.

Too many peeps get a raw deal and some of the sinners are way past their best before date.

Really tho, I wish to scrutinize the 14.8 mil cancer deaths over 45 years…seems low.

Population outpaces people dieing, I have no idear how cause all I read about is death and destruction.

Mostly grass fed beef and all before the days of GMO’s, growth hormones, etc. Also milked three cows most of the time and sold raw milk and never had enough. I’d turn my cows out with their newborn calves in the spring and they’d come home in the fall all fat and sassy with 500-700 lb grass/milk fed calves. If I wintered any calves I would give them the best hay along with oats or barley we grew on the ranch.

Like you, I enjoy my meat and constantly monitor my health. Lots of greens too, organic home grown most of the time. Had high blood pressure all my life (140/95 average until almost a year ago. Added Chia and Omega 3 from fish oil to my diet and today my blood pressure was 120 over 76 when I checked. That’s good enough proof for me that I’m doing the right things in my diet. LOL!!! I believe we are all different and there is no such thing as “one size fits all” for humans. If what you are doing is working for you, don’t fix it. LOL!!! …………….Silverngold
