Nice!  My LOL of the morning.  Very good, sir!  Zero Hedge has gone downhill since taken over by St. Petersburg and anti-Semites.

Are we dead yet

Your Western hubris will be your downfall.

The collapse of Socialism in the West will take unfortunately until 2061 to fully complete while its destruction will be 90% complete by 2032.

..

So 2016 is also shaping up to be geopolitical as the war cycle turned up in 2014. Everything is a set of dominoes.

The final peak in bonds coming precisely as Armstrong said:


The dominoes are underway.
Hmm, what? Not much happening. Just shut up and BTFD!  Roll Eyes

Prepping is a waste. Get over it, there is no crisis coming.  Smiley

I know he talks about confidence, but for me (as i don't know much about all this global shit) the important thing (for war and outflows) is oil price (which is low for numerous factors).

Quote
Among the favorite asset managers of Middle Eastern countries are BlackRock and Franklin Templeton (BEN). Both firms declined to break out fund flows from Saudi Arabia to CNNMoney.

However, BlackRock admitted it had suffered $24 billion of net outflows from the region that includes Europe, the Middle East and Africa during the second quarter. That's compared to inflows of $18 billion during the first quarter.

A lot of that money was being yanked due to "cash need driven by rainy-day issues," BlackRock CEO Larry Fink told analysts in July. He didn't name any countries in the region, but added, "It's raining in some of the commodity-based economies."

Martin Armstrong is a financial, well, forecaster might be the right term, who has written extensively on historical patterns of economics.

He has a checkered past (I know that he went to jail for contempt of court, but what I have read it seems that was an injustice), but there is no doubt that he has introduced new concepts for us to read and analyze.  While in jail, he produced a number of interesting papers looking at asset prices through history, including from ANCIENT history.  He is one of the few who looks at cyclicality (time patterns) as well as a MACRO view of the markets (that is, he does not look at the price of gold alone, he looks at everything else too -- with a supercomputer).

He is now out of jail and has set-up shop as a macro-consulting company.  On most days (including today, Saturday) he publishes a few easy-to-digest items looking at various issues of the day.  His blog:

http://armstrongeconomics.com/armstrong_economics_blog

What finally moved me today to start this thread is his post was his very interesting piece (from today) "Money -- Credit -- Debt & Derivatives".  It looks like derivatives are as old as money itself (maybe older!), take a look at the article:

http://armstrongeconomics.com/archives/31401

*   *   *

I have been in various threads here at the forum where Armstrong's material has come up.

I look forward to reading your views on his ideas, and his proposed solutions (also controversial).

Martin A. Armstrong's contribution to economics and his economic predictions made him a person of great influence.  However, his criminal conviction somewhat overshadowed his achievements.

Even though Martin A. Armstrong has a dishonorable past, his death is still a big loss. He became a millionaire at the age of 15 and I think that that is exceptional.

Eh? Where did that come from? He's not dead! He was here in Greece a week ago. Do you mean ANOTHER M. A. Armstrong? On other news his latest post has to do with something that BBC mentioned about a week ago. It has to do with the seizure of private buildings in order to give them to the migrants.

[...]
So has Europe imported a civil war? Clearly, the Western powers do not understand their history and the attempt to topple the Syrian government will lead to total chaos. This is by no means in the best interests of national security for Europe or the United States. This is a braindead war game with very serious consequences for it is not over territory, it involves religion with no borders..

Nice pieces above, thanks for sharing.

Armstrong is full of great insight in both of the above, yet I had never even noted that Islamic Radicalism and Socialism are almost identical (differing only in cultural details).

The Powers That Be ("the bad ones") have an awful agenda.  Here is a treat from Jim Quinn's uber-bearish site that is interesting.  Read the comments too!  Most enlightening!

Stephanie Relf has an unusual link maybe 1/3rd the way down in the Comments.  In case anyone is short of time, here is one short piece of advice:

DO NOT BOARD THE SHIPS!


(Swerving into weirdness on a Sunday...)


My main problem is that I stepped out of the conspiracy scene for 2 years, the problem I have is I use the double think method which is I just read everything lies,truth,halftruth etc. It's coming together apparently.

This is martin armstrong related ironically, because I read he uses in his TA laptop for predicting things the I think golden number? or Pi in sacred geometry. I guess martin is one of the people that decoded algorithme and figured it out.
my god what the hell man



Check your messages, suda123!

Not everything I read is related to BTC, gold, finance, Peru, rolling bearings, etc.

Stephanie Relf is waaaayyy out there.  Hope you enjoyed it!

Is everyone still betting against my < $150 prediction for the final capitulation low. It is lonely being correct all the time.  Tongue  (really I know I am not and I don't try to call every short-term move, but a liquidity contagion always takes down gold and small caps, ALWAYS  ... and remember the smaller the market cap, the more extreme the moves especially now that Bitcoin can be easily shorted)

Seriously though, gold and Bitcoin haven't capitulated yet, because there are still guys like you saying it can't. Once all of you are humbled, then the bottom will be in, I'll be buying with both fists (assuming I still have fists that move and any money which is also dubious) and many of you will have become dismayed and hesitant.

It ain't over until the fat lady sings. The contagion isn't even underway yet. Just wait grasshoppers for your lesson.

i'm with you on the < $150. You are not alone

Greece, Moldavia, Italy, Spain... who's next to tolerate the bankster's & politicians constant theft? These guys are completely relentless. They still think that they can steal all they want and nobody says a thing... 'cause capitalism. We're in the midst of the 2nd recapitalization of our banks in Greece. The funds required are estimated up to 25bn euros. Several big EU banks have "offered" the money towards gaining the control of the Greek biggest banks.

I remind you that the separation of "bad-banks" has already been done and it's more than obvious that when the sharks get their teeth on them, whoever owes even one euro to the "bad bank" they will lose their home/shop/company. This is expected in November. If this comes along, expect hell break loose. Most possibly the next thing to happen will be a nice "haircut" of credit holders.

Greece has got a glimpse of what's coming last summer with capital controls. The banks would not let you open even the deposit boxes of yours! In the meantime 1000 BTC ATMs have been already en route to Greece. Interesting times... Roll Eyes
