I’ve never been able to get a quote on Yamana with HL. They allow you to set a fill or kill order where one of their employees will transact it manually on your behalf.

You could try a limit order on AJB, it's worked for me in the past when no live quote available.

Yes but there are a host of genueine problems with the deflator used for real GDP calcs.

What your saying is actually that there hasn't been many quarters that have seen negative GDP prints in the psot war period.Quite true,but that doesn't mean that there hasn't been a siginifcant deflation in that times in parts of the economy.Got to pickc up kids but I'll be back later.

 

I agree with that, it was just a quick high level example of how liquidity has been used to keep the plates spinning in aggregate.

GDP doesnt take into account total debt or leverage and liquidity doesnt suddenly make junk bond issuing companies any better run or viable; moral hazard.

As DB has mentioned, against a deflationary backdrop the central planners have the option to inject but there is no free lunch unless you want to turn into Venezuela. If his roadmap plays out as expected, that option will be removed and then with higher rates and the end of another cycle that option wont be viable...

But back to your point, during that cycle there should be a different set of winners and losers as already discussed in the thread.

While were on the topic of deflation, some words from Lacy Hunt's interview on the Grant Williams podcast (August 2020):

My professor said that the Enlightenment could not have occurred without David Hume.

Anyway, Hume wrote this tremendous piece on public credit in 1772.

He said in there:

“If you do not control public credit, it will control you”

And his final conclusion is that, when a state has mortgaged all of its future revenues, the state lapses into tranquillity, languor and impotence.

Now we have a lot of examples.

You become weaker and weaker and weaker.

Whether you manage to hold it together with high levels of indebtedness, or whether you try to use some sort of worthless instrument to pay the debt off.

The system really doesn’t work well under it.

What we have here, and really, the thrust of where the modern monetary theory is going.

People are talking about the technicals of MMT.

The real flaw is what creates economic prosperity, wellbeing, advancement, ingenuity, saving, reinvesting — the solutions are not with the government.

What we’re looking for is some sort of easy governmental solution, which is not the way we achieved our prosperity.

That’s the fundamental flaw in MMT.

Government policy has failed and so we’re going back to the government asking for more of the same types of policy, but we’re getting off into areas where the results could be even more catastrophic, in disinflation or even low inflation, it’s not a good system.

If we start making the Feds liability legal tender, everyone’s going to be totally miserable in very short order, people will not want to hold financial assets.

They’ll only want to hold commodities that they consume or trade for consumable commodities.

Productivity collapses, the whole system begins to malfunction.

There are people that are willing to take that risk in order to get beyond the debt problem.

We are moving into a time where the situation could become more volatile, but that is not today.

We’re not there now.

We may be on the path, but we’re not there.

you know what the French were doing around the same time?

Assignats were paper money issued by the Constituent Assembly in France from 1789 to 1796, during the French Revolution, to address imminent bankruptcy. They were backed by the value of properties formerly held by the Catholic Church, which were confiscated, on the motion of Mirabeau, by the Assembly on 2 November 1789...

so maybe the plebs of Britain could get together and take back the land that was stolen from them in 1066 that appears to be a root cause of this 'rentier capitalism' that is causing so many issues on the 'island prison'? :P

Please note this is NOT just another BTC content video, I know there has been quite a lot of discussions lately... instead Raoul presents here his thesis that macro and value/growth investing is kinda dead, or at least very suboptimal. Is he just talking his book? Or does he have a point? I am definitely not suggesting to sell our deflation stocks and copy what he's doing, but Raoul does introduce some interesting ideas in the video. (Eg He mentions the Elon Musk Starling satellite project, what are people's thoughts on the negative affects it may have on telecoms sector? I'm concerned as I own a lot of the telecoms).                                                                       Raoul is now fully embedded in crypto, heck he thinks now even BTC was probably created as a US/UK psyops! ...but actually I'm being uncharitable, this video is apparently his first attempt at introducing his next cycle thesis which he has been developing. Very broadly, he thinks coming cycle will be deflation (inflation I think he says is impossible), driven by technology/productivity, with crypto initially acting as a massive disruptor to finance sector, then other sectors, and ultimately becoming backbone of economy. I await a more detailed exploration of his thesis as this one is a bit basic but is still worth watching.

cross psot from property crash thread.

 

 

More on this from Wolf ST.Nick Corbishley

Demand for flats is collapsing,some flats are moving at losses of 67% on purchase price,

https://wolfstreet.com/2021/04/30/bank-of-england-frets-about-banks-as-flammable-cladding-crisis-crushes-prices-at-low-end-of-housing-market/

The BoE is assessing if contagion from this scandal could spread to the broader housing market and cause a new financial crisis.

By Nick Corbishley for WOLF STREET:

The Bank of England is now fretting about the impact the UK’s flammable-cladding crisis could have on broader home prices in the UK and what that means for banks. New data shows that affected properties — and there are up to 1.3 million of these flats — sell for as little as one third of what the owner had paid.

The BoE is concerned about the banks that sit on loans backed by those properties and is assessing whether contagion from this scandal could spread to the broader housing market and cause a new financial crisis.

The BoE’s Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) has surveyed mortgage-lenders on their exposure to leasehold flats with fire risks. And it is asking lenders for regular updates.

With banks refusing to offer mortgages on apartments in these buildings, and with cash buyers demanding crippling discounts, even selling the unit is not really an option.

In the wake of the fire at the Grenfell Tower of June 2017, which resulted in the deaths of 72 people, up to 1.3 million leaseholders in the UK discovered that the buildings in which they own their flats may have also been rigged with flammable cladding and insulation materials.

The “freehold” — the building and the land — belongs to somebody else, usually the developer, a financial entity the developer sold it to, or a large landowner such as the Queen or the Duke of Westminster. They are able to extract annual rent on those assets.

Under leasehold law, owners of the flats are liable for the costs. Over the past 12 months, apartments in many multi-occupancy buildings, even those of four stories or fewer, have required a so-called external wall system (EWS1) form in order to qualify for a mortgage. But many of the buildings are still waiting for inspection, leaving their occupants trapped in financial limbo, in buildings that may also be a firetrap.

Up to 1.3 million flats, including in thousands of recently built structures, are currently unmortgageable. These properties are at the low end of the housing ladder. And they are all but impossible to sell, without plunging their current leaseholders into a deep loss. That this low end of the housing market is beginning to seize up as lenders refuse to offer mortgages on any multi-occupancy buildings that pose even the slightest fire risk is threatening to disrupt the entire property market.

Now attention is turning to the potential impact this could have on the wider financial system. A study by the Leasehold Knowledge Partnership (LKP), cited by The Times, has found that of the flats in buildings with fire risks that had gone to auction since December 2019, about 80% failed to sell at all, or sold at discounts of up to 67% from the price the owner had originally paid.

For example, a one-bedroom flat in Manchester failed to sell last month despite being listed for half the £330,000 its owner had paid in 2017. In another example, a two-bedroom flat at The Decks, an award-winning design with flammable cladding, sold at auction for £52,000 last year, 62% lower than the price its owners had paid (£134,450) in 2008.

In many cases, the additional debt will sink leaseholders deep into negative equity, meaning they will still not be able to sell their apartment without incurring a significant loss even after the cladding and insulation have finally been removed.

The scale of the crisis is big, but it’s still unclear how big. For the moment, the rest of the UK’s housing market is buoyant, with average prices rising 7.1% compared to a year ago. But the bottom layer of the housing market is seizing up as lenders refuse to offer mortgages on any multi-occupancy buildings that pose this type of fire risk.

Yet even as all of this is happening, new data suggests that three-quarters of cladding systems being installed on new medium-rise buildings completed in 2019 and 2020 still used combustible materials. The government had proposed banning the use of such materials in these buildings but hasn’t actually followed through with legislation. The data – from an analysis by non-combustible insulation manufacturer Rockwool of figures from construction database Glenigan – also shows that 112 other potentially high-risk buildings had been built with combustible rainscreen systems during the same period. By Nick Corbishley, for WOLF STREET.

Interesting. Hmm, I was wondering why the resultant government cladding policy for this was just so incredibly incompetent, and will surely only serve to turn a million flat owners into labour voters I think. However if we allow for there being method to the government madness, and perhaps even enter into the realms of conspiracy, maybe it is after all a grand ruse to crash the market? ...if so I think the same set of technocrats who worked on our Lockdown lament (with it's 2m rule) must also have worked on that Cladding cogertation (and its 6 floor rule)?!?

Big sell off on the Nikkei, futures also indicating further declines today.

BTC also weak recovery to over $55k, maybe more to come. I’ll be keeping an eye the markets today.
