CNBS – Fed to purchase treasuries “in the amount needed”
That would be an unlimited amount folks.
SM and pm’s jump. This would be QE5
In our old warrior’s Wanka’s words – THIS IS IT!! 🙂
Taking supply off the market – maybe not great for the stock, but might really hurt either

Fake new in Hawaii. A guy who claimed he was a Journalist was videotaping a test center in Hawaii who was claiming they were being overwhelmed by people needing tests but no one was there. The ones that did want testing were sent away. Then this woman who was on the news lying about it attacked this guy right in front of a cop.

Suppose they mandated everyone got tested and false positives came out everywhere. Trump stoped that to only necessary. After a host of false positives suppose they mandated vaccines on everyone. Then suppose the virus was in the vaccine.
Leaks coming out of mass vaccinations prior to outbreak.
They did it with the H1N1 but for different reasons to unleash their expired vaccines. If accurate this is even more evil.
Speaking on online classes. What are they going to do for all those who can’t afford WiFi or will be shutting it down now out of work or don’t even have a computer.

Under the circumstances the ones at risk need to isolate themselves but not shut down the whole private sector because a child can give it to grandparents. Just don’t visit grandma or grandpa right now.
These lies about not needing masks is BS too. This used only to protect others if you have it is BS and as yourself this? What about all the people walking around who don’t know they have it yet? Why do they only work for medical staff but not the “ sheeple.”?
Helping big business when they have stockpiled their stocks. Remember CEOs giving themselves raises with the bail outs. How many multinationals including Cruise ships go under another country to get out of taxes.
Small business which is the majority of the economy here don’t have those loop holes. I don’t trust they’re saying they won’t have to pay the loans back they can’t even fill out without a lawyer they can’t afford that if they can’t afford to pay it back it will be forgiven. They’ll just use what they make BEFORE expenses to say they can’t.
I agree take away the punch bowl Goldi
but all these fat azz govy handout absorbing pigs need to eat

Shut down Government pay till the private sector goes back to work.

Home school not the same as a full time class and not all classes can be done just on line. Do a chemistry or microbiology activity or sports online.
This shut down is catastrophic for the economy based on a 2.5 infection rate that’s not even accurate as those with common cold symptoms won’t even go in.

The computer has been projecting the two target weeks of March 23rd and April 6th since the start of the year. I believe we then see is the dust settles. But Anthony Fauci will go down in history as the Destroyer of Worlds. I have never in my long career ever witnessed such absurdity as this man has created. Yes, it is true if we all stayed at home we can beat the common cold. For this guy to only look at his field and say that is the solution is beyond comprehension. He is clearly a LINEAR THINKER and the press has been a coconspirator because they have ONLY been interested in selling advertising by hyping this to insane levels but they are foolishly destroying the very people who advertise. The medical profession which just follows orders is unknowingly losing their pension money. Some states may even use this to justify seizure private pensions for the people’s own good.
I have spoken to a fairly large company that is still not in what we would classify as “big business” and the solution that they have come to is they will stop paying bills to preserve cash. Others have said where they had been looking at reducing high paying jobs easing them out over the next year, they have brought that forward and are using this crisis as the excuse. These decrees that small business must shut down, has anybody bothered to decree that their rents must also be suspended?
Anthony Fauci has created a Great Depression and unemployment will jump from the lowest since the 1960s and may retest the Great Depression high of 20%. There was a forecast that unemployment would retest the lows going into 2019 and then rise into the 2023 period where it could be a slingshot up to retest the Great Depression highs. It has always been my job to just report what the computer projects. Some people try to challenge me on a personal level. You cannot fight the message, so attack the messenger. I have said every time that I second guess the models, I am the one who is wrong. This was one such forecast I was uncertain about. I could not see fundamentally how the economy could collapse so fast. But low and behold, fate has given us Anthony Fauci which I believe will have destroyed more businesses and wiped out more jobs than any economic event historically surpassing the Great Depression and war.
* The US Congress is still debating its relief bill. They have no idea what is unfolding.
* Illiquidity is exploding and hedge funds puke their guts out all over the street. Even some bond funds in Europe and Sweden, as well as Denmark, have suspended all redemptions.
* The panic to the US dollar has been massive. This will only undermine emerging market debt. The Fed can try to inject dollars, but this will have no effect since the demand far exceeds the supply.
* The fear factor the medical industry has created over Covid19 is unbelievable where 13% of Americans think they are infected. There is now little doubt that this fear factor has overwhelmed the markets and the economy. Trump has delegated the response to the States, which may be a mistake. Some states are overreacting and many have started to shut down their economies ordering people to stay home into the week of April 6th. Universities have switched to online and many may have just closed for the year. German chancellor Angela Merkel is in quarantine as in US Senator Rand Paul. A member of the Vice President’s team tested positive but not the Vice President.
* There still remains the risk that Europe may close its financial markets as they did in World War I. There remains also the risk that they will declare a BANK HOLIDAY and they are still looking at using the crisis to cancel all paper currency.
I do not see where Fauci’s recommendations have been warranted. This may be a little more aggressive than the flu, but we are still not talking about it reaching an epidemic. It has already subsided in China and South Korea. My discussions with medical doctors in Italy suggest that nobody has died from this virus alone. They have some precondition and then the complications lead to death when severe. This is not the Black Plague.
um goldi nice try
Schools aren’t closed! Wake up! My kids are doing zoom and online classes. This is 2020 not 1985. Celente is smoking pot again
CDC exposed as for-profit corporation colluding with Big Pharma to corrupt government

Hawaii Case load now 56, up 8
Two new on Maui, six new in Honolulu. My Big Island still at 3 with no new cases yesterday.
There is a cruise ship docking in Honolulu for fuel and supplies. Worse, one of two main engines has failed and needs repairs here so they will be in port for five days or so. They have been denied ports in New Zealand and Fiji, and passengers are desperate to ‘go home’ now. They have petitioned the State of Hawaii special access to allow passengers to debark here and fly home…. to make special bus and airline access to get the passengers off. No known sickness onboard for the duration. This is starting to become a humanitarian crisis. State is still considering the evacuation request.
Ororeef – Net Slowdown
Yes, I have read many network routers are working at capacity. Lots of people staying at home and streaming high-bandwidth videos, is why. I have read suggestions that Netflix throttle back their bandwidth because they are overloading the network.
Unintended consequences of the quarantines. I have seen slow access on a lot of sites, and sometimes my TOR relay access quits completely.
Celente’s rant and he’s absolutely right.
He’s also right about stopping the public sectors checks and see how fast this shut down lasts. Schools closed why are we paying taxes on it?

? Paper only ? Its BOOM or BUST TIME !
STOP PRESS
The section above was written before the news that Swiss refiners are closing production. We must remember that 70% of all gold bars are produced in Switzerland and that the 3 biggest refiners are in Ticino where the local government has ordered non-essential factories to close.
The likely outcome of gold production stopping should be a much higher gold price on Monday. But we obviously don’t know if the BIS and the bullion banks will hit the gold market with $ billions of paper gold. Whatever they do in the short run, the market will soon discover that all this paper gold is worthless.
The gold mining stocks are also likely to suffer until the situation is clarified since they have lost their biggest buyers.
USDX
Looks like it may be trying to roll over to the downside. Probably take a few days.
rno
Gold’s up 11.40 but thursday nite and friday morn it was up $40 and we know how that ended

The great Rick Ackerman=Lately, the delicate task of distributing AAPL shares without frightening the unwary has become one of DaBoyz’ most urgent concerns.
