The late day fade off the touch of the steady to falling daily Bollinger and Dow divergence will usually do it also; today's fade was not as convincing as some previous. Though we have noted the longer term divergences are deeper and more convincing.

My main checklist has about 10 items that are longer term. I add or remove depending on context. Then I run through other factors that can turn up here and there. One factor that didn't correlate was the dollar was down for last week with the S&P down. Generally the market can recycle to one more high under those conditions. I put that condition through 3 filters. I didn't think that condition was strong enough in this context to move the market back up to the high. I believe though that Mr C in the link confirms some extraordinary prodding amd pushing Friday which we had noticed also.

Depending on context is true and the behavior of the zones lately. Looking at the ROC view of banks and institutions sat on increased reserves. The new money is parked, rather than circulating in the economy. This shows the lack of confidence in growth and a persistence of fear and your no credit growth.
The increase in the money supply has been offset by a lack of money velocity. Velocity charts for Japan, the Eurozone and the US.

And when this comes togeather as the late 40's off it goes to crush the herd on design. Get ready is not to far away and

As far as the banks are concerned or as far as inflation and hyperinflation, once Bernanke started paying interest on excess reserves he made them just like government bonds. So we have low inflation, till banks take their money out of excess reserves and bonds, then we get hyperinflation. People have been expecting more inflation than we have had because the base money shot up so much, not understanding that paying interest on excess reserves keeps them off the street like paying interest on bonds. Peoople don't recognize how large the risk is of hyperinflation, because excess reserves add $2 trillion to the risk of short term bonds not rolling over and causing hyperinflation. Bernanke's interest on excess reserves is a new trick and for now people are fooled.

Consider what happened half way through the period mentioned also Vin, and yes I regard that view on the restraints so far since Reagan was correct and properly understood we can do more for the people actually helping the economy by negating inflationary avarice for politicians who are the macro parasites hurting the people by wanting MOAR spending. Not all he did was spot on legal and was another placeholder to the theater of political will but overall I respected him on more topical reality's than the issues we have today induced from Clinton fabianism going forward. I truly feel bad for the rampant disease cluster called China from the insanity and it appears will overwhelm them to total water and carbon wars and wholesale disease industrial induced genocide.
The FED needs inflation to back out of the current purchases and as forumed on the 1983 noted CCI of account "EU bond modeling" defined the cost of credit intermediation (CCI) as being the cost of channeling funds from the ultimate savers/lenders into the hands of good borrowers.
The CCI includes screening, monitoring, and accounting costs, as well as the expected losses inflicted for the GSE problems created on asset stripping designs in my view which is easy to defend as asset stripping on design to fiat motive as according to Evans Clark (1933), the ratio of debt service to national income went from 9 percent in 1929 to 19.8 percent in 1932-33. As we noted the bent of mind and the rhetoric from the Office to double down on the taxpayer debt is a encroachment more than a few cannot forgive. As we noted the actual thinking Democrats are very silent and know this stigma is not going away. As we noted what was done to friends who moved out of state to deny the state the ability damage the children with the stain of insane statist liberalism we find true to this day. I had to ask the protestants to test every few years and hire tutors to repair the education loss and keep on course the education of our children since 83% failed basic exams for college and they still wany more money. The local public schools are security detainment centers now and crime ridden clusters cells. Locally from 1968 and onward the agenda was clear if they want to admit it or not today on modeling which has lead to this terminal status we are still trying to repair locally on so many issues its sickening. We are losing and they cannot fathom what the facts are.

America quadrupled grain prices in 1971-72, and OPEC countries followed suit with oil prices. By the end of the 1970s the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates to 20 percent in order to end the inflation by deterring bank lending. This plunged England and other countries into economic crises of their own. Future historians no doubt will find it remarkable that they sought to cope by curtailing their own budget deficits and money supply.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlB_U1ansVQ So the Fed now pre-releases data to US politicians ahead of everyone else. What else does the Fed leak to those for whom frontrunning is still legal? And as if we needed more confirmation, the market is now officially a complete circus. t
As we warned the whole system now is gosplan and taxpayers deserve all the stupidy they elect.

If this civilization were to collapse like Rome, I think it's near impossible to sort through all the causes. Just looking at the brain rot, we can list the education system, distractions, individual failure, environmental contamination, drug and alcohol addiction, poverty, and parental failures like fetal alcohol syndrome which damage the unborn before they ever have a chance. One of my neighbors had 2 foster kids (twins) and she told me the boys were born to a mother who had crack cocaine in her bloodstream when she gave birth. The boys were about 13, mentally disabled, and when they came home from school I would guesstimate they slammed the door as many as 100 times in an hour.

Maybe this is the "unacceptable" answer to your question or observation regard the coming "dark age"


background ----

Genghis Khan 1155-1257 created what was to become the largest land empire in world history.
It opened up trade, merged knowledge between cultures, was religiously tolerant and he dreamed of a global unified civilization .[ "Genghis Khan, and the making of the modern world" by Jack Weatherford ]. This empire allowed Marco Polo 1254-1324 to bring knowledge from Asia to backward Europe.


Other interesting information -- presented in the book "1421 - The Year China Discovered America" by Gavin Menzies. - [ from globally archived material ]

briefly --The Chinese Emperor Zhu Di

He wanted to make the new capital of China ,Beijing, the world's greatest city and the world's intellectual capital, it contained encyclopedias and libraries covering every known subject known to man ( date 1404 )
In the markets of Beijing, at that time, one could purchase printed books on various subjects. ( this idea -a global civilization - may have come from Genghis Khan )

The Emperor was religiously tolerant

China had extensive trade relations over a wide area of Asia the Pacific and into Africa.

The "great exploration armada" contained approximately 4,000 ships - from patrol ships, combat vessel, warships, freighters for grain transport, and the giant nine-masted treasure ships ( capital ships) measuring 180 feet across and 480 feet long. This armada was for the purpose of gathering resources, information, conducting studies, and to distribute plants, animals and collinests. They explored all of the contents, at least partially,-- including the Arctic and Antarctic seas.

However most of the ships were destroyed -- by, it is assumed, weather, treacherous seas, etc.

Then on May 9,1421, two months after the great armada set sail, a violent storm broke over the Forbidden City in Beijing. Lightening struck the newly constructed palace and it burned as though oil was provide for the conflagration. Balls of fire appeared to travel down the Imperial Way. In the end only ashes remained.
Afterword, the events were taken as a sign , China retreated into itself, and all written documentation of the armada , the knowledge, and events, were ordered destroyed. hence China's dark age.


Was the destruction purposeful?

If Emperor Zhu Di would have been successful, we could be living in an advanced global society today.

Which leads us to ------

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch)-- Federal Reserve officials remained divided over how long they should keep buying bonds, according to the minutes of the March 19-20 meeting released Wednesday. The Fed said that one member wanted to slow the bond purchases immediately. A few more favored slowing the purchases at midyear, with the program ending later in 2013. Several others thought that if labor conditions improved as expected, the Fed could slow purchases "later in the year and stop them by year-end." Two members indicated that the purchases might well continue at the current pace at least through the end of the year. The Fed released the minutes early after discovering that some copies had been sent by mistake to Hill staffers and trade groups on Tuesday.

Not a mistake.

Absolutely right. Like I said a long time ago, watch what "they" do to the libraries.

It is possible that individual mandates will take the place of inflation as a "painless" tax, if prices go up, politicians can simply curse and threaten the people supplying the service we are mandated to buy, or implement price controls. This all has some huge implications for what the future economy might be, if schools, medicine and pensions are all "privatized" but the government mandates price controls, then large blocks of the economy could be frozen in place and unable to progress. All roads lead to Rome.

This seems highly likely. And this is a minor detail in some ways, in others not, but on many of my property tax bills I have noticed a separate line item for "library" and I think the parasites will target that line item if the public complains about high taxes. It's convenient for a number of reasons, one being that during a descent into a Dark Age it will be advantageous to certain groups to destroy accurate historical records. The likely process is libraries would be "privatized" and anything that doesn't generate revenue would be thrown out and replaced by things like Disney movies that do generate revenue.

It's almost like they are trying to crash the banking system.

London-based council data show the U.S. as the top gold holder with 8,133.5 tons,
followed by Germany with 3,391.3 tons. Cyprus was ranked 61st.
That sums up the current "paper tigers we noted ever so long ago.
