News from Europe Tues.?
Probably some "good" news, but only in print. A bunch of folks still need to get some $ out of Europe and maybe even out of the US Equities Market. That can only happen with a few "upward" movements.
BAC, Chase, Goldman Sachs, MF Global, Harry's $ Store, etc.
Let's once again go on record. Who is the next to fall? A big bank?
No.
Next is another "fund" used for the same purpose as M F Global Collapse (i.e. the MFGC Fund.)
The big commercial banks don't fall until last... as in 2008.
This time, there is no bail.
No.

EUR/USD Trade for Tonight
We do not expect the 50-day SMA to be broken as it has not been. We expect the 50 and 20 SMA's to match and flatten. We expect no one anywhere in Asia to make any other moves overnight.
One day soon, we would love to be wrong so life could be more interesting!
Until then, there are ways to make $ with 'flat' too.

US Institutions - Exposed by the Euro Debt Gamble - BAC and Chase Next?
Here are the "sell-a-used-car-to-a-sucker" facts about the Euro/USD:
1. The euro needs to be high enough for a few thoughtful folks to SELL FAST!
2. Last Wed. the EU politicians met and said pretty much nothing... but that could not prevent a Euro/USD collapse on Friday before the risk-on weekend.
3. So on Thur. the EU says... super, we have concluded Greese/Grease! The investors only lose 50%! Super great deal!
4. Friday, one sucker after another buys into the Euro/USD (exactly = US Equity Indices) - everything gets bought by poor suckers.
5. Monday... oops. The definition of the 50% loss sends the Big M F Global Collapse into action. A legal action... to steal money by not paying it back. Sometimes, the word never uttered in the "news" is DEFAULT.
That's how it's done at the local used car lot and that's how it's done to you by the Euro problem unless you have listened and have protected yourself. There is much more money losing to come.
Do not consider your $ safe in any bank.

CNBC Conspired with MF Global? Artificially Raised the Euro/USD?
A TV network working with a Euro-sludge-fund is most likely against the law.
As usual, the facts only come out once there's a bankruptcy, etc.
Someone needs to look into this. CNBC has obviously been paid to "talk stupid" and ignore facts. (Because that's all it does and no one is that oblivious by themselves. It takes a conspiracy to be that oblivious.)
This is a travesty for the US dollar, for US broadcast law, for everyone in the US. Uggg.

MF Global - First Domino in set of US Institutions - Euro Catastrophe
Anyone who has briefly looked at this blog knows most US dollars are at risk in the Euro Zone. Here go the first ones down the toilet.
Next? Likely whoever used MF as a laundromat, B of A? Chase?
Hard to believe the same folks who destroyed the WW economy in 2008 have no hesitation to do it again in 2011 even after the tax payers saved their financial lives. And they are doing it in the exact same way... inordinate risk! First in housing, now in Europe.
A story of irresponsibility. (Or stupidity, we cannot tell which.)

Arithmetic - dividing Euro by the US$ value - forex is easier than it seems
In grade school, we were taught to divide-out the part of the division arithmetic that we didn't want to hang around, for example, a/b... if we don't like a, then just multiply a/b 'times' c/a... in that way, "a" disappears and the whole fraction becomes c/b... now "a" is gone!!
Getting rid of the Euro is a little bit like that... but you need to know how to do it on Forex. We will follow with a more step-by-step tutorial soon, but probably you already get it.
This is the easiest way to beat the institutions for now.

Tutorial - Hong Kong and Shanghai Institutions regarding Euro/USD
How do those big Chinese institutions deal with the Euro/USD trade?
First, through currency exchange trading just as our group does.
Secondly, there are lots of RMB in Europe so there needs to be a buffer to keep the value of RMB vs. Euro constant just as in the US dollar traded equities, e.g. OIL as everyone can see today from the rise in oil exactly consistent with the decline in the US$.
But how do US equities and dollar-traded commodities rise from the Euro rise at the exact same rate?
Because institutions, super-computer-assisted, can use a rise in the Euro/US$ to effectively "repatriate" the US$ they have risked in the Euro Zone. The Euro can be directly sold at a relatively high price that produces more US$ because of the exchange ratio - or - through the use of derivatives like puts, calls, futures, etc. And the US$ need to go somewhere immediately (in a nanosecond or so) and they go into US equities. There is no place else today.
Could there be any other reason for BAC day-trading to exactly copy semi trading?? Probably not. Banks and semiconductors, no real relation except the algorithms.
None of us believe what CNBC is paid to tell us, right?

When to Short Euro/USD = NASDAQ and SP?
As we said, the next trading day in the US may be a good time; however, do not forget these facts:
1. No one wants the Euro/US$ to super-crash on a Friday, that's why 'good' news has been abundant once again leading into a Friday.
2. But no self-respecting European would in fact be working on Friday, especially having to work a couple days previously in the week.
3. End of day? Nothing. Trade later. Often, the best trade is no trade at all. Just watch the supercoms do their low volume Friday work. The programmers are off.

Super Euro/US$ News Last Night - NASDAQ to be Shorted?
Super announcement.
The good news:
Major European banks will only lose 50% (half) of their investments in 'Grease' !! Stupendously terrific!
Because of the continuous algorithms on the super-computers, the US equities markets kept exact nanosecond pace with the Euro/US value as usual! (Don't forget, currency is traded with a 50:1++ leverage. You are smart folks, so you can work out the % math for yourse... well, you know.)
The bad news? Well:
Those banks will need to raise about 25% of the assets they just lost by sometime next summer... oh oh. You may want to "withdraw" from your account.
The American banks are already reviewing their losses-du-jour but don't have to tell you until later.
Oh yeah, the 4T "euros" to bail out the rest of So. Europe? Don't worry, lots of private investors simply cannot wait to get into that deal!! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Prediction for Asia Euro/US Trading Overnight
Since some technical lines are coming together, we expect no currency move overnight.

BAC - Bank of America Corp.
A terrific target in the game of Euro/$ = US bank equity valuation.
Is there another large US bank that is so susceptible to an effective straddle?
This bank will be worthless - or - might be a fair gainer. But there is NO in between.
Perfect opportunity to straddle.
A good straddle (not a simple options straddle) is very low risk and high reward.

there IS a euro financial plan and it's been in place for two years
The plan is to delay until there might be a way to get a super-power like the US or China to "help" - that is obvious.
Our opinion is that the "plan" will not work.
Unless there is massive worldwide currency deflation, as we have said.
Watch your forex positions wisely. Nothing else matters except forex and gold.
PS We expect an "up" nasdaq after a well-spoken excuse from the EU on Wed. in Europe. We don't recommend another short until a day or so.

Euro/US$ Push-Out to G20 but to no Avail
Now that Tues. is over in the Euro zone, and now that there was great news followed by another... a... well another delay, the financial people aren't meeting on Wed. anymore; instead, only politicians will meet. (We thought this was a financial crisis?)
The Euro zone mentality is at its worst ever, i.e. no one wants to win anything, it's simply a competition to see who will be the absolute worst loser. Nothing else matters. (Not a very productive environment.)
In fact, the politics matter so much, that NO ONE will do anything until the G20. Why? Because then, the EU can just say "oh, those horrible international citizens made us go down!" That's called politics. In that way, no one specifically gets blamed and that's what EU politics is all about. Politics is not about productivity, it's all about blame.
Mind your investments and capital wisely.
The US will not save anybody in an election year with the take-over candidates salivating to blast out the incumbant. This time, there is no cavalry coming to the rescue.

For our German Friends and Consults - Euro Negotiations - Das Brille
You are a vote or two away from funding the entire world with no help from anyone. Seems fair to you? Not to us.
Of course, your poor folks can simply work harder.
The more wealthy folks can have their wealth dissolved by currency deflation. Meanwhile, So. Europe can be used for vacations.
Oh well, you are nice folks so please carry the rest of Europe on your backs as usual.
Thanks much. We honor your philanthropy to Europe!

US Equity Volume is Small on the Exchanges
At first approximation, nearly all US$ fund activity has been transformed into Euros as we have long said. Risk but much more earnings. Until...
Of course, these US funds intake US$ and are required to pay in US$, so there needs to be a small US$ fund available to make weekly payments and to hedge anything in the near future not already covered by put purchases. But the US fund money is almost 100% in Euros.
And without a put-purchase, those Euros are held up, just as if you or we were to purchase a bank CD (not recommended!) until a certain date by contract; therefore, the US$ mini-fund is necessary for the money market, pension, hedge, big bank, and all other US$ funds.
It follows that the Euro/US$ ratio, easily controlled by supercomputers (in this case, even ancient-Intel processor-based computers) exactly duplicates any and all US$-based equities (even oil! although that is a special case.)
If the Euro goes up by whatever means, then the world is fat, dumb, and happy. If the Euro goes down, then the funds need to purchase puts; otherwise, they are forced to play the US-equity vs. Euro computer game to keep from losing your money.
US equity volume?
Please check for yourselves. Tiny. Why? Because when the Euro/US$ goes up, then fat-dumb-and-happy means that a fund doesn't need to do anything right then.
If it goes down, then most of the funds have already purchased puts (please check out the volume for yourselves) so they don't even need to trade anymore!
Simple as pie.
The only loser? YOU if you do not understand this ahead of time...

Gold as a Currency Replacement when Currencies Deflate
Gold is relatively high as a hedge for worthless currencies, e.g. the Euro will likely be printed at a high rate as part of the failure to get out of the Euro-Zone mess.
Our "guess" is that political pressure in an election year will prohibit Uncle Ben from any further US$ printing press activity while the Euro gets printed like monopoly money. Pay attention Forex friends!
Once the dollar stopped getting printed with nothing to back it up, the dollar has rissen hugely. At that point, gold has lost some of its luster.
The Euro is trash. Enough said. The slightest hint the US will print more $, gold will be well over $2000. One of the Fibonacci retracements is well over 60% and that is our anticipated range for the US$ price of gold in that case.

Texas Instruments - A Tutorial in Currency Trading
Yet another... a... ah... a surprise... higher revenue and lower earnings and even lower expected earnings.
Why? Because TI is a US co.
All Q long it sells all over the world for lots of $ while the US dollar is low because of the Fed printing. Just look at the Forex charts. Then, at the end of the Q, when they receive payments (net 30, 45, 90) etc. then the US dollar is suddenly valuable because there was a Fed statement in Sept. that clearly said "there is no more money printing for now."
So revenue (in US $) is high, earnings are low. A co. like TI is big enough to have sales all over the globe, but is also too small to have a "currency exchange" dept. as does a large international co. like IBM that carefully hedges its international business with currency futures.
That's why we are seeing this over and over again.
It's all a currency trade for the not-yet-educated.
US corporations? Without the currency exchange, they are net losing real money. A kid in 6th grade can figure this out on his or her own.

Yes, there is a huge problem and someone(s) need to take a big bite out of the huge xxxx sandwitch.

Financial Euro/US$ Tanks and other Rolling Pins
... will need to come out to effectively fight the "malakoff" cocktails from the riots. The more we think about this, the more sense it makes to "print" Euros. Of course, the US would need to follow with printing presses.
Large Profits from the EU Weekend Meeting
The meeting will need to be a... ah... a success no matter what.
No one wants Large Louie to pay them a visit.
And no one wanted a huge sell off in the Euro/US$ on Friday (today) so the "massage-de-tuna" must continue and continually continue prior to the last conceivable minute.
Maybe the Chinese folks who stand to lose lots of Yuan could step in and lose even more money. ha ha ha... Probably not.
We think:
1. There IS an agreement.
2. It IS definitive.
3. It WILL save the planet.
4. But, there is just one more thing that needs to be agreed upon soon but later...!
5. But Large Louie has gone home for another day or so.
6. Meanwhile, check out the put buying volume of Euro/US$ ha ha ha!!!
NASDAQ extreme up Monday. Then... SHORT!

EU Weekend Meeting Results
Basically:

2. Yah, this will make the Euro so high that we can all immediately SELL and get out of here!
3. Bye suckers!

Chase Bank/Cheat Bank and Bank of America/Bank of Ameri-dah
Question for CEO: why is most of your investment of American capital in Europe?
Answer: it is not.
Question: then why is the entire US equity trade 99% correlated to the Euro/US$ forex currency trade?
Answer: we don't know.
Question: do you have super computers to manage these trades or do you "rent" them?
Answer: ahh... huh?
Question: what is your US bank charter, to invest in the United States or to take even more risk (even after your 2008 mess) in the Euro Zone?
Answer: What do you mean by "charter" and how is it spelled?
Question: do you accept every-day American citizen deposits and put those deposits at extreme risk... first in a declining baby-boomer US home market and now in a Euro-Default-Zone?
Answer: Ah... no... we stand by our European partners.
Answer: it is not.

Predictions for the Technical Euro/US$ - do not Necessarily Rush
If the ratio were to stay in its present short pipe, then it would effectively be going parabolic(!)
We would love that case, because then it would quickly fall into a black hole discontinuity never to return. We are salivating at the chance!
Lots of money to be made here. Watch the technicals, wait for some distribution days, then whack the ratio and make everyone else on the planet poor... except for you... ha ha. We are not kidding.
An easy chance of a lifetime.

See how it's done? It's not that hard. Just obey the math.
For all the professional traders who missed that one, and for their bosses and their bosses bosses, our condolensces to you.
In a fair world, you are all now fired.
Once you understand the algorithm, the rest is easy.

Correct. We are in the new pipe 5x5.
We are now looking for a deviation or a confirmation. We suspect a strong deviation.

Slovakia... Small Battleground for a Large War
Slovakia cannot withstand the pressures from the rest of the Euro zone. It will cave-in probably any minute. The bad news is that ECB approval will culminate in massive printing press activity and Northern Europe will be worth half of what it is today. That's OK, then we'll maybe buy at half price.
NVDA and other Semi Trades in The Valley
We are very tempted to short strongly for Friday; however, do not do that without watching the Euro/$ trade overnight.
On low volume, retailers have gotten a little ahead of themselves and it's close to the time to take their incorrectly spent money(!)

Tutorial - Fitch Derates Banks - Undercapitalized - Exposed Euro Debt
Undercapitalized is a eufamism that really means "insolvent."
It means the bank is about to have severe losses and that it doesn't have enough "capital" (enough of depositor's money) to withstand the losses.
In other words, never say in-other-words because then you might have to clarify yourself(!)
Undercapitalized = insolvent = pull your deposits out ot there immediately!
The FDIC cannot save you in this case for much longer.

Justice Dept. vs Banks
This should have happened in 2008, but the statute of limitations has not yet run out.
If someone is negligent (and/or unenlightened enough) to cause massive financial losses to others, then that person(s) can be sued to recover as much of the loss as possible.
That's one simple way to get rid of the idiot CEOs who were incompetent enough to cause worldwide economic depression. Jail is recommended but not a requirement. Taking all their money is appropriate enough.

Algorithm "of the day" kind of like soup
USECV = EURO/USD
Brilliant? No, but it works.
USECV = US$-traded-equity-compilation-vehicle (e.g. as simple as SPY, or other if the programmers are more imaginative.)
If you don't own a large room filled with the latest super computers, then retreat and take on the programmers instead. There, you have a chance.

Because of the following:
1. Money bunches/groups up... kind of like traffic on a road.
2. Funds (mutual, hedge, pension, etc.) have many $1B to over $100B of assets to "invest" i.e. not to lose or else. It's not their money, but they control it.
3. So much $ that a given fund might need to buy entire corporations representing a significant part of a major US stock index.
4. Item 3 is not feasible for volume reasons. Funds could go broke.
5. The $ need to be spread across the entire planet.
6. But, the collection is in US$ and the return payment needs to be in US$.
7. Where can they invest? Japan with the government and the BOJ salivating to ruin currency exchange rates? China where a few old guys can manipulate exchange rates in a heartbeat? Uh uh.
8. So the banks have invested in the Euro zone. And if the EURO/USD crashes, so do all banks and all institutions. So do all US equities and USD-traded commodities. Instant financial death... for all US institutions, but not necessarily for you if you have prepared correctly.

Bank of Queensland
To a direct question "do you have Euro exposure?" the response was basically - well... it's a global world and we all live on the planet Earth.
Wow. Profound. And uggg. Everyone is going down with the Euro. Even Asia.

The same old currency problems as in 1917 and 1941
Lots of organizations need the Euro to be strong enough to continue with business-operations-as-usual and/or to get out financially at an opportune moment.
Some of these organizations have violent influence. Unfortunately, some European politicians can attest to these facts of extortion.
An important question is whether entire nations, with their extreme pride and resource, will put up with getting bullied around or would rather leave such caution to the wind and produce force major. Sometimes, a superior force is better than a criminal influence.
At this point, we wish the Americans would leave Europe alone and allow it to resolve its own criminal influence without any American criminals getting in the way.

Europe - the Laundry House of the Eastern World
Ever wonder what happens to Middle Eastern and some Asian funds that cannot be tracked?
They turn into Euros.
Let's not let them enter the US; instead, let's send them back where they came from before we get screwed instead of them.
The lower the Euro in value, the better the rest of the legal world.

Price of Gold
Gold is little more than a valued commodity.
Its value is high when people don't trust currencies.
Its value is low when currencies are believable and somewhat stable.
Something needs to accurately represent a true value of goods/services by and from the efforts of people.
If currencies become phony, then gold returns from ancient times as a measure of value.

CNBC misleads along with Alcoa in after hours - US$ moves higher after the bell
Alcoa had great revenue and TERRIBLE earnings even after all its advertised cost cutting in prior quarters. Uggg. A miss from $0.22 to $0.15 on higher revenue is probably grounds for a lawsuit. To quantify, that's a failure of about 30%! Usually you need to be 70% right just to get a passing grade. Those folks need to "get a real job."
Of course, on TV, it's all about what people are afraid of, and it's all about uncertainty in Washington... No. It is all about lousy RESULTS. No one needs to focus on fear, the RESULT is plenty good enough to dump a loser stock. Quit making excuses. We would rather have someone call in sick and not make the interview than listen to further excuses.
Guess what... commodities are down because of the euro/dollar performance - end of story. Once the Fed refused to print more $ in Sept., the US dollar is relatively high and earnings are now correspondingly low in terms of the US$. A freshman in high school can figure that out. In the US, simple arithmetic is taught in the first grade. And having the Euro on the brink of collapse doesn't help the issue(!)
Even Slovakia (spelling?) doesn't like the idea of currency manipulation. But the Euro/USD may have yet another bounce before we need to short it and all US$-traded securities.

Euro Sucker Rally for the Few
After the plan-for-a-plan statement over the weekend in Europe, the huge volume rush to Euro confidence barely got over the 50% momentum crossover! Uggg.
If you can't find any more suckers than that, your fake rally is not doing very well(!) Nice try though.
We see a new channel for our tech clients, much more steeply negative than the one last week. It could start as early as tomorrow or as late as the G20, but it is a steep downer (now that there are a few upward candles to draw downward from...) Get ready to massively short euro/usd on the recent French pop.
At the end of the day, only massive currency printing can "save" those banks. When that happens, we all need to be on the better side of the nasty trade.

US Banks - More Socialist Entities
An argument against Wall Street protests is that the protesters are socialists.
Ha ha. The protest is all about big banks investing in socialism in the Euro zone and also accepting socialist benefits from the George Bush/Goldman-Sacks(Sachs?) era of the Colorado fello who's name we can't even remember.
Everyone needs to join the capitalist movement, i.e. we love winners and hate losers. Banks are losers and crooks. Be a capitalist! Support the movement against those who have been fooled but be compassionate to those who don't have intellect at the present time.

How to Hide Euro Debt from US Bank Regulators - Short Course
If we were unscrupulous individuals (we are not,) then we might think in the following way:
1. Send some US$ to a holding company, one layer out of site is probably OK, maybe two.
2. Instruct the holding co. to buy Euros with the US$s you deposited.
3. Use the Euros to "safely?" obtain higher interest rates in Europe.
4. Meantime, don't bother to lend in the US (your charter) just try to sleeze by.
5. When the regulators take a look, everything seems fine.
6. Unless and until entire socialist nations default one by one in Europe.
7. At that time, ask for the US tax-payers to bail you out again.
8. If that doesn't work, see if the Fed can print enough money to help you while everyone else gets screwed.
Simple. Plan A and Plan B, one of them should work.
The best part? If you get caught, just make sure there is no clear trail to the top, i.e. just blame someone else!

Bank of America - Next to be Broken up by Regulators
The bank has no capital. It's been selling assets, at a loss, to raise capital. It has huge losses in US mortgages and in poorly managed European risk.
Just go to any branch. Unless you agree to put your own money at risk to the tune of $500,000.00, the bank will not even cash a check until it has first been paid by other banks that don't trust BofA and rightly so. See if you can cash a Chase check with BofA... ha ha!
These people have put the FDIC at risk with Euro investments.
Our advice... withdraw and find a solvent bank... quickly.

CNBC Trashes Protesters - Supports Bank Bailout by Taxpayers!
Anyone who supports $1T plus to payoff bankers who can't perform, i.e. fail at running their businesses, is either dimwitted or a crook. We don't like either one.
There is no democrat/republican issue here, just a result issue. Banks have failed and will soon fail again. We only focus on results, not misguided rhetoric.
That's how we make money. We focus on results and we call a loser a loser. Bankers are and have been losers. Their business is to make money from collective deposits, not to lose money and default on the deposits.
Let's get real CNBC.

Protesting Wall Street and Big Banks
We are donating to the protesters. In part, from the money we make by being smarter than the programmers on Wall Street and the used-car salesman at the big banks.
Unfortunately, the big banks have a "surprise" for everyone regarding Euro investments. Yet another 2008.
There is a distinct reason that the Euro/USD ratio tracks exactly with US equities. Because there are lots of USD invested in Europe that "might" come back. Only the largest US institutions can be responsible for such a high volume dumb move.

AAPL iPhone 4 Modified vs. iPhone 5
Apple, even with Steve Jobs overseeing instead of commanding, is way too smart to push a new-generation product into Q4 of a terrible worldwide economic season. To AAPL's credit, they have a better POR.
They are OK if their competitors make dumb mistakes, but not Apple. That is a major part of why they financially rule the CE world.
Have you noticed that AAPL is not your typical GE-type huge-cash-company trying to grow as a finance company? Steve jobs and all the folks he trained are too smart for that. That's why they continue to be world-class.

Deutsch Mark
We see the Euro collapse this way:
Germany's prior currency is/was stellar. Also true for the Northern regions, e.g. Austria, Netherlands, and more. Finland should also be in this group.
The Euro will collapse into 17 (or less) more individual currencies. It will take all the time needed to make the transition "affordable" for some folks but probably not for you... ha ha.
Prior to that time, we all need to pay attention; otherwise, we could come out on the short end(!)

Euro/US$ and NASDAQ - How to Profit
Same old same old. Another FT article just prior to US market close.
The substance was: Well, ah..., it seems European banks are looking to raise capital... hahmmm...
Brilliant! And don't drink a six-pack of beers all at the same time!!
(Unless you want to lose lots of money.)
It's time for Southern Europe to lose lots of money, not you. You can use our algorithm if you want to sign up in order to avoid the Euro scam.

What did the CFO know that you didn't? NVDA
Shares sold/redeemed? With one more chance before Q end and two-three more chances before Y end?
Uggg. Sell quickly. Before a pre-announcement!
Shouldn't the SEC be watching these things??
