Batten down the hatches. The last standing Fed Professor has spoken.
The World offers little and we have been at it for some time around here.
Not worth the wrong effort as we all know here. NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM with the we will save them all

This recent picture is Islam at work. A mob broke into the police station and brought him outside and dragged him
to the Chanighot Chakar (roundabout), where he had allegedly desecrated the Holy Quran, doused him in petrol (gasoline)
and set him on fire. According to a story by Shahzeb Jillani, BBC World Service South Asia Editor, witnesses said hundreds of
people looked on as he screamed for help.

Up the road as we say here. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - A Kent County corrections officer is recovering from a
brutal beating at the hands of an inmate trying to escape the jail.
Not only did he not escape, but other inmates came to the officers defense.
But they came to the aid of the officer. One inmate grabbed the radio and called for help.
"They came to her rescue," said the sheriff.

I ask the Senate again why you feel the taxpayers need to assist those lost people
over there. Athens of old had more sense than you. You should be fired or exiled.
Taxpayers our days are numbered.

However, I do believe there's a more credible reason to explain the behavior of Bernanke and other officials. It's not that they're
psychotic, or political, or protecting their own 401Ks. It's because they're absolutely desperate.

At this point in time, I would buy into this reasoning. They are in a state of panic is the phrase I would use. The only thing we can't be sure of is why they are in a state of panic.

i) the inventory of the world's credible assets is literally evaporating in absence of technological efficiency and CapEx spending (which is also the reason for the ECB's endless lowering of collateral requirements) and ii) illegal rehypothecation of assets, which infinitely dilutes claims on real assets, can and will lead to total losses even for investors who thought they had strong collateral backing. Or, in other words, lose-lose. This may be possible tyler

This we know to be ongoing and tier market rehypothecation of assets just may be ending so Ben covered "maybe also" net loss haircut since beta is just that, beta risk assets and the settled base will ensue. As we manage assets over time even Marx noted the earnings offsets and why. ChiComs just maybe are Auditing the books. As mentioned when supply is impeded in the market cycle which is not a bad reality since as we know the seen and unseen market do interact as we understand. Lets call it as it is because the invisible hand can also give you rope and does. Warned was rope burn here also in the forums.
They will remove obstructions in the river bed of supply since the rivers current does lower. We call it opportunity in the real since I work for the Customer. October to end of the year will be textbook to some and judgement to the path forward. They warned also it does not matter what color the cat is to catch mice. This means no safety stock, no inventory stored for use in smoothing production requirements, and so forth. If it can't be used right now it is considered waste. A number of concepts are central to this idea of waste elimination. Instead of building a large manufacturing plant that does everything, the Japanese tend to build small plants that are highly specialized and form them into focused factory networks. It is difficult to manage a large facility; the bigger it is the more bureaucratic it tends to be. Bureaucracy is not conducive to the best style of management. Also, a specialized plant can be more economically constructed and operated. We stock only when quality lot numbers are essential in controlled Atmosperes.
Opportunity costs must be realized.
Jidoka is a quality concept that means "stop everything" whenever an error occurs. It is controlling quality at the source. Instead of using inspectors to find problems someone else created, the worker is his own inspector, responsible for his/her own quality. When an error or defect is discovered, the worker has the authority and the responsibility to halt the production process. Some of us have been at this a long time H. The ChiComs are waking up maybe. This American was reading Demming as others ignored Him. It took our group time to awake also. I did read that the Best standards have traveled to Groups in Provinces and quality circles misunderstood. We shall see. As Forumed noted before, the 20th was my second window because the first was a surprise to a few for sure and that was me also on the first window and Fate blows direct at times I found as Ella was sent free.
Keiretsu member firms act with considerably greater independence than subsidiary firms. Patience is not found in a whirlwind.

Happy accidents kids

The timing of this crap going on in Egypt, Libya, Iran and Syria is NO COINCIDENCE. Everything is being done and has been planned around the so-called November election here in the U.S. with the sole objective of maintaining and solidifying the Marxist overthrow of this nation, with an eye toward a global regime after the U.S. is out of the way.
Wake up

Marxism is indeed a dull philosophy to us now, in the pre civil war era where it was concieved it doubtless seemed like a light in the darkness of Europe. You have to remember, they still had kings and emperors and courts when Marx was writing. Slavery was common across the world. Woodcuts common in Russia showed serfs being tortured as a lesson to all serfs to accept their lot and never try to better themselves. Use of the knout, the sjambok and the whip were common to keep workers in line. It was claimed that an expert with the knout could rip a mans spine out of his body if he was tied properly with his back bent to put tension on the spine.

Marxism is no more appropriate now than slavery. This is not by any means me saying that capitalism is the ultimate end all of economic philosophy. It has merely adjusted better to the modern world, even though it has obvious problems dealing with a world in which there are few free resources.

My interpretation of Marx was that we wanted to keep the status quo--that serfs should remain in the fields and not in the nascent factories where wage earning had the potiental to better their lives--and replace the kings with people such as himself. He opposed people owning property, that property should be owned only by the state, which is to say by the leaders, which makes the people slaves of the leaders.

Exactly! I've tried explaining to my Asian friends how the communist in China really did nothing but replace the Emperor with their own communist "emperors".

[OLD1953]

Freedom is a relative thing, and a starving man in the wilderness who is a thousand miles from the next human is certainly very free in one sense, certainly totally unbound by law, but he's greatly constrained by the other factors of his situation.

Revolutions against established governments are always bloody and violent, but the revolt in Russia and China was more than that. It was a revolt against literally everything in their cultures, and in such a revolt the death toll will always be astronomical.

For a first hand account:

Ossendowski is hard to beat, as he saw the beginnings in both Russia and China. Friend of mine was astonished when he read that book, that so much of what China was doing then, they are still attempting to complete in Mongolia and Tibet.

I will read that link O, thanks. I liked it. I have another book to finish at the moment.

After the first crude bloodletting they always move to the Social dialectic route as we noted the Neo-Marxist strategies of Antonio Gramsci an Italian Communist relying on gradualism, infiltration and the dialectic process rather than a bloody revolution, Gramsci's transformational Marxism was so subtle that few even noticed today. Also after reading Tolstoy's, The Kingdom of God is Within You, it convinced Gandhi to avoid violence and espouse nonviolent resistance. Tolstoy also seen the rise and fall of it before it even existed, it leveled me when I first read it. These people today will never be able to allow others to be left alone in peace. Also the Russians knew what was written by Leo so all in all Hillary's reset button was luke warm I assumed since they know the intent clearly of the view since NATO so called mission. Do they pay Libyan gas bill from the gas line to Italy? Funny how we never hear of the 144 tons of hard currency. Obama commented after the election open microphone that was typical but not surprising given the context if as in we say, general disarray of relationships. I deal with local spectrum and they inflame rather quickly since sociolects involve both passive acquisition of particular communicative practices through association with a local community, as well as active learning and choice among speech or writing forms to demonstrate identification with particular groups. No matter who they are the seen to enjoy the greased pole climb and subject all they can no matter the costs. Rarely we find Statesman in history. This is social for sure, but we have in the past been able to move current resources to meet local challenges. All I meet lately is we can just raise taxes and solve it. I posted some percentages of change numbers for my local example and trying to convey a sense of what is coming, or to say already is here that matches the gradualism of effect they seek to take what was never meant to be. At times, we do who note enough say the Hell with that and roll it back, and you can see how that worked out with prop 13 left coast. People around here just cannot fathom Business is part of the problem, and part of the solution, as always they would rather focus on Consumers with dirt floors now to enable the debt yokes and as we note locally some are just mired in debt and will never make it back from many reasons and million just tossed aside from avarice. Now the hard right as the link indicates above is rather just another Jones like lunatic. Between the left and the right the hard cases harms and it will never change. My issue is they get rich butchering as they go in Peking, Moscow, Washington and on and on. True it does take time to focus effective resource management and we can convey countless examples with our realities we observed. Full disclosure for me is history that sometimes the events cannot be explained by words but a simple faith. It was said that what is worse than one vice, or a simple virtues imposed on another. My thought it is your issue that you have and never should have been mine. I have no issue with the Office supported doing the duty proscribed since they truly know better, but math appears to be a weakness for them so truly they need to go. Revolving door Politics has done just as they wished. We work for them and that is a clear and present danger. I believe the Letter and the consequences of the Book since all Men are created equal and guess what, the Sun came up so I am modern. Man is not special. Off topic, I have one who works at Fed Ex we forumed back a few pages. Freight is slower but we know that, and his hours are trimmed down. The Market is over priced, as John nailed down clearly and the Village and Cheerful are putty to the Washington handlers who cannot do math. It is not about local growth as we covered before from circa 1978 and onward. Like a stated about 1996 the writing was clear upon the wall for me. The Fed know this locally as was forward to the 2020 time segment. I find going forward being targeted gets easier to deal with since those truly at issue are simply clever to obfuscate the way forward to preserve perceived status on entitlements. They have no compunction eroding others positions to self imposed importance. As we know paraphrased you owe no gratitude but a defined quantity and quality of work. We call this a contract.

Alas, that's not exactly what I meant, though I did say it.
What I was trying to say was that while a low volatility strategy has more of a utility weighting than the S&P, your average low vol investors should not to worry about it. http://falkenblog.blogspot.com/2012/09/ ... w-vol.html

If you want to see the effects of the western money policies on the world economy, you need look no further than here:

http://investmenttools.com/futures/bdi_ ... _index.htm

and contemplate the charts that show both shipping and prices of certain goods commonly shipped in bulk. Nobody wants delivery, they just want the contract. There is a serious decoupling of usage rates as measured by bulk shipping vs cost of raw material. How does the price rise if you actually ship and take delivery of LESS?
