They are in complete control of the markets, but when these financial drugs die off that they have the patient zooked out on….KABOOOOM! The end will come quickly, but we won’t know because they’d like to play shite out till the very last minute. This is a game to them.
Tks to the Scum……now watch them ram the SM thru the roof….
at least thats what we called it back in the 50’s….even every teenager knew what that meant…
and the bank bookeeper that let it go by got fired ! If she didn’t bounce the check it was all over for her…
Will Le Guard bounce the CHECKS ? If not she should go ! If the IMF dosent bounce the checks the Banks at RISK !
I can hardly wait to see how this take under plays out. Maybe Lundin will sell it out to Kindog for $2 billion, just like that Redback white elephant Tasiast. The rich find a way for the 10 baggers while schmucks like me have to settle for crumbs.
Yes Ororeef, the Teflon Don of the mining industry. P.S., Goldcorp spun out SLW but they used a defunct Vancouver listing to start with. Much like the shell Newmarket Gold (NGN) is being used by the heavyweights taking under the Crock.

Sounds like the Rambus subscribers are a little restless. Sharpening the knives and pitchforks! 
In fairness what a pain to try and chart manipulated commodities. Is there any point to it? I guess when we go into a real trending market his calls should improve.
Good going MM. Nothing wrong with an 80% profit! 🙂

and that folks is just some of the “great” news that will no doubt justify yet more PM selling….which at the moment is holding AU to the 1 % rule/limit.
The second self-feeding dynamic is something we’ve discussed at length before, most notably in 2013 when volatility-induced selling — reminiscent of the 2003 JGB experience — hit the Japanese bond market again, prompting us to ask the following rhetorical question:
What happens to JGB holdings as the benchmark Japanese government bond continues trading with the volatility of a 1999 pennystock, and as more and more VaR stops are hit, forcing even more holders to dump the paper out of purely technical considerations?
The answer was this: A 100bp interest rate shock in the JGB yield curve, would cause a loss of ¥10tr for Japan’s banks.
What we described is known as a VaR shock and simply refers to what happens when a spike in volatility forces hedge funds, dealers, banks, and anyone who marks to market to quickly unwind positions as their value-at-risk exceeds pre-specified limits.
Predictably, VaR shocks offer yet another example of QE’s unintended consequences. As central bank asset purchases depress volatility, VaR sensitive investors can take larger positions — that is, when it’s volatility times position size you’re concerned about, falling volatility means you can increase the size of your position. Of course the same central bank asset purchases that suppress volatility sow the seeds for sudden spikes by sucking liquidity from the market.
With S&P futures down near 20 full points…..the Scum will have to get busy fast…..where is the miracle buyer??????
