Still amazed at the euroland ponzi proposals.

Taxpayers lend (bail out) the ECB, ECB then lends (bails out) to the banks, then the banks lend to the tax payers... SMH... Our kids will surely think we were idiots of all time! Bushmen will look more advanced!?

Market fear gauge at 5yr low 'an optical illusion'

That was CNN Money headline back on March 15 2012

http://money.cnn.com/201...ear-index-vix/index.htm

The CBOE VIX index is at it again, at 5yr lows, actually lower than in March. US markets have in the process recovered from the April-July selling bout and trying to test the 2012 highs. Another selling bout period is coming...

Just like back in March, the trade protection to take is BGZ longs. With vapour volume pushing the market up from July lows, the bulls will not stand a chance when the correction ensues.

www.zerohedge.com/news/v...x-plunges-five-year-lows


VIX still getting knocked to lows last seen in 2007. Coincidentally that's the time markets topped for good... GFC et al... Complacency in the market is back as markets are rally on vapour volume. Caution!

How to know RMB/yuan reserves are coming to KE. It starts with fx bureaus accepting yuans then the banks join in the party. I was informed of this the other day while chatting with a buddy. Is this true? If so, well hoarding yuans will be the next play to cash in KES...

A small girl said, "Mother, you know that beautiful jug that you said had been handed down to us from generation to generation?"

Mother replied, "Yes, Ann, what of it?"

And Ann answered solemnly, "This generation dropped it."

"SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Jon Corzine is considering launching a hedge fund. Don’t laugh.

The former head of MF Global Holdings Inc. is considering a venture to “engage his passion for trading,” according to The New York Times. Read NY Times story on the unwinding of MF Global and Corzine.

Corzine’s plan, of course, makes perfect sense. Investors will be intrigued by the star power of the former U.S. senator and New Jersey governor and throw gobs of cash at him. Don’t believe it? It’s been done before...."

And the same people say KE and 3rd world is corrupt!? Kumbe nyani haoni kundule...

Quote:
If anyone has ever wondered what creates the distrust in Washington and our country’s financial system, it is cases like MF Global.

At MFG, $1.6 billion of customer money went missing last November and is still missing, affecting 25,000-plus customers.

Fast-forward to late last week, when reports citing “people involved in the case” indicated that it’s now unlikely that there will be any criminal charges against MF Global CEO Jon Corzine as a result of the scandal. There’s even a convenient rumor of Corzine’s comeback — as an investment manager, no less.

It goes even deeper than that, though. The Government Accountability Institute reports that Corzine’s/MFG’s law firm was Eric Holder’s old firm before he became President Obama’s attorney general.

MF Global owed the firm $114,275.55 for services rendered prior to its Oct. 31 bankruptcy filing. And lest we forget, Gary Gensler, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission chief, also worked at Goldman with Corzine.

So as you can see this guy was — is — connected.

I meant I've been on the short side of FB since IPO listing. Thiel was an early/seed investor, so bailing out at $19 is still a sizable gain for his capital.
