JUST "FYI": Chinese New Years |
|
|
If the Pig is the Mascot for Wall Street (and a few others) what about the Rat & the Ox?
|
2008 - The Chinese Year of the Rat
In Rat Years; things start out in "deceptive bounty", but; then soon turn into "Poverty"
Rat years are the "Economic Calm & Speculation" before Financial Storms. "Rat" is a "gambler" and whatever is gained at the beginning or first half of Rat Years is often lost at the end.
Rat Years tend to see Speculation and people over-extending themselves.
Also: Rat Years tend to see people being "Acquisitive" with that which doesn't necessarily belong to them.
(Can you say Madoff ? Now there's a Rat!)
| 2009 - The Chinese Year of the Ox
Ox Years brings the need for Hard Work and the "Yoke" of Responsibility.
Ox Years bring the need to settle "Domestic Affairs" and the need to "Put One's Household Affairs and House in Order" .
The Ox Year also brings the Rise of Dictators. Also; Those in Authority may not seem as "compassionate" as one would like.
Finally; Ox Years are supposed to be good for "Harvests".
So, this year might be a good year for a Vegetable Garden!

The Big Armageddon Warning |
|
| On September 21st, 2008: [The autumnal Equinox/Libra Ingress was on 9-22-08: GMT~15:46]
on Thursday, September 18th,2008 the New York Post reported that the Market was "500 trades away from Armageddon"
Armageddon was described as a 22% decline which would take the DOW to the 8,300 level. Guess What? In April of 2009 ... that's is exactly where the Market is: "Armageddon".
Supposedly this was "headed off" by the Fed pumping in $105 Billion Thursday morning before the Market opened; thus preventing key institutional accounts from following through with enough sell orders to start a "cash run" that would have tanked the U.S. Economy.
Apparently this move only "postponed" Armageddon.
In the Full Moon Lunar Compass Dial Chart or 15 Sept 2008 (see above) it states: "The End of Civilzation's Current State of Affairs"
The Dow went below 8,000 on Nov. 19th, 2008.

THE PORK
- The Energy Improvement & Extension Act of 2008 (goes to energy-efficient appliances, renewable energy) which includes the following:
- One year extension for wind & refined coal energy tax credits production credit for electricity from wave & wind power or ocean temperature variations
- Energy credits for small wind properties, geothermal heat pump systems, & "energy-efficient residential properties"
- New Renewable energy bonds: up to $800 Billion in bonds for public offering (From: 1/3 from "public power providers", 1/3 from various governments and 1/3 from "cooperative electric companies"
- Tax Credits for "cellulosic biofuels" & "carbon dioxide sequestration"
- Tax Credits for "New Qualified plug-in electric-drive motor vehicles.Bicycle commuters get some as do regulations aimed at: "residential top-loading clothes washers"
- The TARP PROGRAM lets the Treasury Dept. buy mortgage backed bonds from financial institutions. A bank, though can still buy $100 Billion of bad Dept (sub prime mortgages), then, declare bankruptcy and sell it to the Treasury Dept at a profit.
The Treasury Dept can also "guarantee" home mortgages as an underwriter more or less. The Treasury Dept can also cancel some of a home owner's mortgage debt (if it wants to) .
- Paulson gets to decide how much executive's get paid. Only the top 5 execs lose their golden parachutes. The rest still get them even if their salaries and bonuses are in the millions.
- Then there are: kid's wooden arrows
- Puerto Rican rum producers
- auto-race tracks
- Corporations operating in American Samoa (Nancy Pelosi's Starkist Tuna earmark)
Note: Medical Insurance is now to include Mental Illness with similar coverage.
- And, this is only the tip of the bail-out iceberg which is 455 pages long.
- President Bush's first proposed bill was only 3 pages.
- Ron Paul (Rep. TX) who in 2003 Predicted this bailout; said that this legislation would only harm the economy and that this last version is worse than the first one proposed. OUCH!

Now its President Obama's Turn at the U.S. "Bat". President Obama addressed his first Joint Session of Congress on 24 Feb 2009. For the Details of President Obama's Stimulus Bill [also earlier termed the "2ND Bail-Out Bill"] CLICK HERE
President Bush utilized the first "half" of the money available in the First Bail-Out Bill and then in response to President-Elect Obama's request; made the second half of that amount, available to President-Elect Obama.
President Obama has addressed the American People in order to get support on his 1/2 of the First "Tarp" or Bail-Out Bill Money: Also referred to as the President's "Stimulus Bill" Then there is the President's Budget which is coming in at almost 4 Trillion Dollars The Dow closings have reflected Wall Street's Reaction to those offerings. 40 % of the Pork in this Budget belongs to Republicans. 60% to the Democrats.

The Fed Printing Presses churned out another Trillion Dollars [ Can You Say "D E B T "? ] The idea is that by inventing more money for the Banks, they will use it to offer lower interest rates instead of sending it off to France, Switzerland, etc. like they did the money they already got. This of course, adds to the National Debt and also lowers Treasury Yields. The Fed is buying another $300 Billion in Long Term Treasury Securities to do all this. SO:
- Debt Increased
- Treasury Yields Down
- More Fed-Funny Money in Circulation
When the Banks did this is was called "Derivatives": So-called "trenches" made up of nothing but Imaginary Worth. QUESTION: Why don't they just give each citizen their own printing press, then we can just print the money out as we need it and actually pay some bills & expenses?

The Federal Reserve Bank has the license to create the currency of the United States which it then loans to the United States (as legal tender) ...
then ......
it charges the United States interest on that money/currency. It prints up the United States' money supply & makes money doing so. It can lend money to other banks as well.
Sweet Deal, huh?

[from Wikipedia] Elastic Currency...What's That?
-
The monthly changes in the currency component of the U.S. money supply show currency being added into (% change greater than zero) and removed from circulation (% change less than zero).
- The most noticeable changes occur around the Christmas
holiday shopping season as new currency is created so people can make
withdrawals at banks, and then removed from circulation afterwards,
when less cash is demanded.
- One way to prevent bank runs is to have a money supply that can
expand when money is needed.
- The term "elastic currency" in the Federal
Reserve Act does not just mean the ability to expand the money supply,
but also to contract it.
- Some economic theories have been developed
that support the idea of expanding or shrinking a money supply as
economic conditions warrant.
- Elastic currency is defined by the Federal Reserve as:
- Currency that can, by the actions of the central monetary authority,
expand or contract in amount warranted by economic conditions.
- Monetary policy of the Federal Reserve System is based partially on
the theory that it is best overall to expand or contract the money
supply as economic conditions change.

- Just Reported 07-11-2008 - (by Fox News - Alex Viega) - Federal regulators have seized IndyMac (at about 3:30 PM PDT) (A re-formatted e-mail originally sent from Office of Thrift Supervision was posted as early as 2:17PM EDT on Bloomberg ... So Noon PDT may be earliest time given)
W h a t ' s a n "I n d y M a c"?
- Countrywide Mortgage Investments (founded by David Loeb & Angelo Mozilo in 1985) became IndyMac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. in 1975.
- IndyMac bought up SGV Bancorp in 2000 (SGV Bancorp was the parent company of First Federal Savings & Loan Association of San Gabriel Valley) and changed its name to IndyMac Bank; becoming the 9th largest bank headquartered in California.
- IndyMac Bancorp then bought up Financial Freedom in 2004 (a reverse mortgage company)
- ... then... in 2007; IndyMac Bancorp bought the New York Mortgage Company and Barrington Capital Corporation.
IndyMac Bancorp has its headquarters in Pasadena, California and its name (according to Wikipedia) is a contraction of:
Independent National Mortgage Corporation
with "Mac" being the contraction for "Mortgage Corporation.
- IndyMac Bank's assets were seized by Federal Regulators. The Office of Thrift Supervision transferred IndyMac's operations to the FDIC as it did not believe IndyMac had the funds to continue.
- As of March 31st ... IndyMac had 32.01 billion in assets. But, due to a perceived liquidity crisis; it is the largest bank to fail and the 2nd largest financial institution in U. S. History...to close. IndyMac Bancorp, Inc is based in Pasadena, California (as is Countrywide)
- According to Regulators, the immediate cause of the closing was a letter from Senator Charles Schumer of New York declaring his worries about IndyMac being another "Countrywide".
- Customers had begun a run on the bank following the June 26th release of a letter by Senator Chuck Schumer (Dem. NY) urging several bank regulatory agencies to take steps to prevent IndyMac's collapse. As a result of Schumer's letter, in the 11 days following June 26th ... depositors took out more than $1.3 billion.
In addition: on June 30th, Scott + Scott LLP filed a class action against IndyMac on behalf of people who had bought common stock between August 17, 2207 & May 11, 2008 ... maintaining that IndyMac issued materially false & misleading statements which inflated the price of their securities (thus harming investors).
- OTS Director John Reich said the following :
- "This institution failed today due to a liquidity crisis ... although this institution was already in distress, I am troubled by any interference in the regulatory process." .
On Monday, the FDIC will re-open the institution as:IndyMac Federal Bank, FSB
QUESTION?: Has America ... the Country of "Free Enterprise" ... taken yet "another step closer to" becoming: "The Company Store" ?
