From ZH:
For risk-based capital purposes, the risk weights for Treasury securities and other securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, government agencies, and government-sponsored entities will not change. The treatment of Treasury securities and other securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, government agencies, and government-sponsored entities under other federal banking agency regulations, including, for example, the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation W, will also be unaffected.

SGS, There seems to be a lot of rumblings on the interwebs possibly related the BAC thing you mentioned in your vid. You're saying JPM wants to buy them, and someone else said Jim Rogers is shorting a "big U.S. bank." Is this all related?
ReplyDeleteIt's sickening how much that makes sense. Jpm eating bac.
ReplyDeleteIt would confirm additionally how bad some situations are. And are going to be.
Anyone else see this?:
ReplyDeleteThe $1 Billion Armageddon Trade Placed Against The United States
Someone dropped a bomb on the bond market Thursday – a $1 billion Armageddon trade betting the United States will lose its AAA credit rating.
In one moment, an invisible trader placed a single trade that moved the most liquid debt market in the world.
The massive trade wasn’t placed in bonds themselves; it was placed in the futures market.
The trade was for block trades of 5,370 10-year Treasury futures executed at 124-03 and 3,100 Treasury bond futures executed at 125-01.

If everyone in the Silver world knows that real Silver is separate from "paper" Silver why do we accept the price dictated by Comex?
ReplyDeleteIs it because the real price is set by the LBMA in London and that amongst the members there are JP Morgan, HSBC, and Goldman Sachs? Who probably get their orders from the House of Rothschild.
The coin dealers have to get their price from somewhere so I presume it's the LBMA that sets the official price and the coin dealers follow like sheep.
So the Comex must be an elaborate game to justify the LBMA set price.
Every once in awhile, we have to (should) back off & enjoy some stuff in the world. Saw both of them in separate concerts. Great talents:

SGS...Great Video & LOL on FED RESPONSE TO DEBT DOWNGRADE
ReplyDeleteLooks like things starting unraveling exponentially from here. Zero Hedge does a great job, but their forecasts of 101% debt to GDP by 2021 will never be reached. The USA will disintegrate well before that.
It is laughable how the FED responded to the S&P downgrade. This is like an Appraiser coming to your home that you believe is worth $500,000. The appraiser downgrades it to only $299,000. You tell him, the neighbors and anyone else that will listen, "FOCK YOU..your appraisal will not affect my home value. It's still worth $500,000.
SGS..and everyone on this BLOG...next week will be very interesting to say the least. The only thing holding up the US DOLLAR and US TREASURIES is confidence. When that goes....OH BOY.
I think that headline should really read:
