Credit deflation and the reflation cycle to come (part 2)

[leonardratso]

from monevator originally, not really bitcoin but in the business of; ive been using coinbase pro (gdax) for years, its been pretty good really, at least it works and is fairly simple, did use bitfinex for a while but hard to get cash in and out of and it kept telling me i was in america where it wasnt legal so i stopped using it.

Anyways;

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1679788/000162828021003168/coinbaseglobalincs-1.htm

might take a punt at the IPO, hard to say if it will be any good, ive made good cash and good losses in the blockchain stocks themselves, so im wondering if this will be as volatile.

Edit to add, coinbase itself is a bit of a fees rip to be honest, which is the lazy route i suppose for most people, and i always say use coinbase pro (gdax formerly) which is more like a real exchange and not so bad on fees.

I've been waiting for a clawback to dump ITV and its new found wokedom.  Looks like this might be as good as it gets for now given the recent fuss and technicals?

Go woke, go broke may well be applicable here, that and the fact youngsters watch internet videos and more pensioners are cancelling their TV licence.

Shame there's no way to get exposure to this new Gammon Bros TV. I think they'll do OK, especially if they can close on Piers after the extraordinary coincidence of his suddenly becoming a free agent.

We've had epic G3 Ferrari inflation, prices on ebay have gone through the roof, more or less doubling ... must be due to lack of stock coming from China or Brexit.

Following on from this post (thanks @Noallegiance) that's well worth a watch, I watched this one below that's well worth watching too...explains the mess that QE is, and how even with yield control the system wont be able to avoid rising inflation without a total reset/bust.

 

Great video. Supports my earlier thesis upthread of rapidly rising inflation expectations and then actual runaway inflation leading to a deflationary bust. The acceleration of inflation is amplified by the shutdown both temporary and permanent of many businesses. A massive increase in the supply of money chasing in this case fewer goods and services forces the Fed and US govt into the doom loop of raising rates then QE / fiscal spend to counter the crushing effect of raised rates on the real economy. This feeds more money supply and the process repeats till it reaches its breaking point.

This is why the WEF is signalling a Great Reset and this is how they will achieve this. You either believe these people are stupid, don't know what they are doing and a merely reacting to events. Or you believe that if people like George in the video and dosbodders can understand this then surely those at the levers of control understand this too and wouldn't be doing it unless they wanted it.

This is not just a local US problem it is a global one because of the inter dependence of global banks and the banking system, governments and the global use of T-bills and Treasuries as the de facto collateral of choice. Add in issues such as re-hypothecation and other markets that rely on US sovereign bonds as collateral (repo, derivatives) and we have a right fucking mess.

A useful tool for visualising the effects of various CB, govt, commercial banks and consumer actions can be found here if you didn't grasp fully what he was explaining : https://econviz.org/macroeconomic-balance-sheet-visualizer/

Less exploration, less oil, higher prices for BP and Shell 😁

Good interview I thought (I like listening to these old hands), but I'm not suggesting anybody listen to it all, if they don't want to.

Timestamped to start at Felix Zulauf's final comments (2 minutes worth).

He says there will be a "nasty surprise on the downside" in the next year or so, and "If you get out, get out quickly, because you'll probably have to get back in quickly".

Another way to get a year's NI cheaply (well, free) is to pay yourself via a Ltd Co. Pay salary above the lower earnings limit but below the primary threshold. Neither the company nor the individual will pay any NI, but you will be credited with a year of contributions.

As Enoch Powell observed, those whom the God's wish to destroy they first make mad.

Isn't this quite meaningless though? I thought there was nothing left in the north sea that made economic sense to extract?

There's plenty, just at today's prices it's not worth going after.

Maybe one day

That must depend on the price of oil...

The same mentality being shown as with the Cumbrian coal mine fiasco.  We want industry and the jobs that go with it but just not the uncomfortable dirty bits of the process.  We’ll let other countries do those bits and to hell with their populations health and climate change aspirations.  Oh yes and we’ll criticise them for their carbon outputs as well.....

The best incentive for the move to green energy will be a sky high price of fossil fuels. Suddenly makes loads of projects worthwhile.

 

On the downside a high oil price will trash the economy and therefore the ability to invest huge sums into green energy.

Looks like an oil price of $100-$130 would be a target for policy makers. Unfortunately I think they have baked in an oil price way above this level already.

In 3-4 years the lack of exploration supercharged by growth in the developing world, infrastructure spending to develop renewable energy and the public's refusal for anything fossil fuels related to survive, will cause a squeeze of biblical proportions.

It's OK. MPs tell the government to do all kinds of shit they never do.

It just sells papers.

It’s obviously because of all the lockdown Google searches linking to this thread, it’s a victim of its own success.

We’ll have more competition in everything as the avid watchers hang on our every word. Yellow stickers freebie farm and bin raiding will eventually trend on Twitter and you’ll have everyone at it.

I also blame it for being outbid on my below spot junk silver candle stick purchases. I wonder if I can create a GME trend in #GreatPanther

Same here, a useful thing I learned from this thread.  Only from eBay, nothing too clever.  I'm not VAT registered so I can't claim the VAT back, I'd never thought about the lack of VAT on 2nd hand stuff.

My LNG roadmap gives prices in around 4 years that look so high i keep thinking i must be way off with something.The only thing though i can think is that as those prices explode coal will remain in the mix and expand again.

The oilies are playing the best diversion iv ever seen.Nuclear is the real threat to them,full baseload everywhere would kill them,yet they have helped convince the world its windmills.

Best thing is this will mean much higher gas prices for them so they can buy up the windmills.Once they own them they can dictate the gas price as the coldest weeks of the year etc those windmills suddenly need maintenance 

Behind closed doors the execs are rolling around laughing because they get to gain from both sides.

I wouldnt be surprised if im able to use butter soon in my pies instead of lard and cooking margarine.

I'm thinking JHB moves to GB TV, Graham takes her slot, and Piers finally gets a lie in to do Graham's old 10am.

I heard on the radio that the new(?) Chief Exec came from the Guardian.
