Credit deflation and the reflation cycle to come (part 9)

[Long time lurking]

Interesting read ,i`m assuming this is a summary of what was discussed in the meeting between Lavrov and Xi in the last few days the day after Yellen had here arse handed to her on a plate by China 

Basically they are going it alone ,with no fucks given regarding what the west think,my money is on their alternative financial transaction system which they have been trialing for almost a year now is close to being made available to all those that are willing   

All the psyops of the last four years and more have failed

I see Shanghai is 50 dollars above and London is 50 dollars below current price, and London metals exchange is Chinese owned I think.

Definitely fuckwittary going on here on an epic scale.

An interesting read.

Jerome Powell, Chair of the Federal Reserve, has to disclose what assets he holds.  Sections 2 and 6.

Could someone explain 'credit', 'deflation', 'reflation' and 'cycle' to me please. 

Ta!

Credit - you buy a bike with borrowed money.

Deflation - you get a flat tyre.

Reflation - you repair the tyre and pump it up.

Cycle - you continue on your way.

Something is definitely going on.

Just opened the spreadsheet and it auto-updates prices for me.

I have a cell that calculates the total daily change in value.

I've made more since going to bed last night than I will earn in the first 6 months of this year.  (Mostly tax free too!)

EVERYTHING is up.  Including the metals.

Unsustainable?  Who knows?

I'm just going to keep on keeping on.

Have you considered going to bed more frequently?

Very interesting. Powell selling bonds and has NO liabilities! Yellen got paid $7,500,000 plus in speaker's fees even though her speeches are diabolical. Most engagements with major financial institutions, quelle surprise! Bribery in advance me thinks? Her only liability is a refund of a fee for a cancelled speech. Nice work if you can fiddle it. GLA be lucky.

I haven't gone through in detail, but what struck me was that Powell basically has broad market exposure to everything in the US, plus some of the rest of the world, with emphasis on Western markets. Arguably, this is exactly what you want someone with the ability to  move markets to have: in some sense, if he acts dishonestly in his own interest, he is also benefiting uncle Sam and everyone there with a 401k.

Yellen on the other hand, as well as all the speaker appointments, seems to have invested a significant amount into individual shares, including, notably ... Pfizer.

Powell is not daft, is he?

$30 is the big resistance point. If we manage to clear that it’s go time.

2:30 US market open. That’s why I said it this morning as FRES is a FTSE listing.

The UK are cunt nuggets through and through. They wouldn’t be able to recognise a rising trend if it slapped them in the face.

Anyone know of a SEDY equivalent that can be traded in Krautland? It's not available on Trade Republic. I have some SEDY in a UK-based trading account but would like some more EM exposure.

The Taliban will be shitting itself. Holy crap what would Ike, Paton or Major General Smedley Butler think on this subject? What air brushed version of history are we to be force fed next? Is the image of the Stars and Stripes being raised at Iwo Jima to be superimposed with a rainbow flag. I give up. I want to find a deserted island where the weather is good, fuck-off and spend my dotage watching reruns of 'Dad's Army' and 'In Sickness and in Health', getting pleasantly pissed and reminiscing about simpler less confused times.

Can anyone have a stab at explaining this for me?

Why would the dollar losing oil monopoly cause it to go higher because of large amounts of dollar denominated debt outside the US??

What stood out to me in Powells assets was that he seemed to have a little bit of each providers S&P500 ETF. Smart man, eliminating counter-party risk to a degree. Multiple family trusts also means that if a lawsuit manages to pierce one it is compartmentalised from the rest.

WW2 was the entire world against Russia, including Germany and Japan "thats why it was a world war innit", and "Axis" was just an alternate name for them like "Soviet Union". The little Austrian Corporal will be airbrushed out entirely in favour of a focus on assorted Generals etc, many of whom went on to lead NATO anyway.
