  • Markets Explodes As Bank Of Japan Goes All-In-er; Increases QQE To JPY 80 Trillion

    From zerohedge.com

    In a surprise move given all the recent congratuilatory bullshit from Abe and Kuroda on breaking the back of Japan's deflation and bring about recovery (forgetting to mention record high misery index, surging bankruptcies and a crushed consumer), the Bank of Japan raised its bond-buying program from JPY 70 trillion to 80 trillion... and increases its ETF buying to JPY 3 trillion. This move, on the heels of more confirmation of broader foreign asset purchases in Japan's GPIF sent USDJPY instantly gapping 1 big figure higher to 110.30 and Nikkei futures instantly rose 400 points. S&P futures are also surging. Gold and ... (full story)

Debt to GDP in Japan is currently at 227%. Years of the same policies increased debt. I guess they are aiming for 300% .

Like I said. Long usd and short gold and silver. Double down on shorting silver and gold . The diverging central bank policies will increase usd. Consequently forcing silver and gold to depreciate
How are gold and silver doing against the euro?

Better than in dollar
This time next year the US FED will have already turned back on the printing presses due to the central bank moves out of Japan and Europe.
Yay! Pips for everyone!

Conditions are NOT YET ripe for a correction (you call "crash') but very possible
in 2015-16 due to worldwide slowdown and a super overvalued USD
What do U think?
Today is the real last day of qe. Monday will be the first trading day where there is absolutely no bond buying by the feds.

Strong dollar is horrible for US trade . It will probably increase trade deficit .

Japan is what happens when you implement Qe forever . Japan has such a huge debt bubble.

Hear that for 5 years now.
This news probably woke yellen up in the middle of the night . She probably said, " wtf." Don't think the feds knew this was coming .

I wouldn't be suprised if feds change their tone. Policies are now dependent on unemployment , inflation , and what the rest of you copycats are doing with monetary policies. Haha.

In the history of the world there has NEVER been a currency that has lasted for any length of time, EVER. And we some how think that it will work this time.

Every country cannot have a cheap currency and each country is into the printing of TRILLIONS. Can't say when it will end. I just know that it will end badly. Printing has never worked.

Ask Germany how it worked out the last time they tried it. Japan has been printing for 30 years and believes that it just has to work this time.

All it does is rob the average Joe of his labor and savings thru the devaluation of the currency (notice I'm not using the term money).

In Japan it's tough. If you see from 2007 to 2011, there are 5 Prime ministers in the span of 5-6 years. That means no PM's have lasted longer than 2 years during their servings.

So, it's a desperate move by Abe. If he doesn't do it, he will be gone. He has to take his chance, otherwise his successor will.
There is one other item that no one ever mentions. Shemitah
Looked up Shemitah meaning ~ don't see the connection actually..
Please explain ?

I insist! The FED HAS NEVER TAPERED. THERE IS NO PROOF. OTHER COUNTRIES ARE BEING USED AS FRONTS, specifically, Belgium. Whoever continues buying understands the reality and understands the time is not yet come for the true end game to emerge for people less cynical and more vulnerable, to observe.

Hi Mike, Sept 11, 2001 was the last day of Shemitah in that cycle. Add 7 years and you get to 2008. Self explainatory. Add 7 years and you arrive at 2015. You can work your way backwards roughly thru the years and you find interesting correlations.

The Hebrew calender is calculated off the moon cycles so the start of each year starts at a different date. In 2015 the last trading day in their calender falls on Friday Sept 11, 2015. The actual last day is the 13th, a Sunday.

Johathan Cahn has written a couple of books on the subject.

The question I'm wondering is. What are we working toward as a country and a world?

Do you really believe in this nonsense ?
First thing. I'm a retired trucking business owner living in the upper midwest. I'm not Jewish and rarely attend a church.

Second. I have seen far too many things in life to deny the existence of a God. Churches on the other hand......

Third. I don't give a shit if you do or not.

7 x 7 = 49. 49 to 55 days is Gann Death Zone.

I was gonna write a piece about a grandmother driving a flippin Oshkosh truck loaded with cabbages down Wall Street towards the pig's feeding trough on Wednesday, but suddenly everything changed.
The BOJ has been fighting this "deflation problem" for 30 years. Proof that what they are doing isn't working is proven by the fact that they have to keep applying the same medicine expecting different results.

The bottom lines is this. The powers that be don't want to have to admit that they are flat broke or somewhere far beyond broke so they keep destroying the value of the currency and attempt to inflate their way out of bankruptcy.

In business the banker would never allow you to get that far. But they are allowed to play by a different set of rules. The Golden Rule. Yea who has the money, rules. In this cases, yea who owns the printing press, rules.

Here's a question. They ran down Frank Abagnale like a rabid dog. But it's OK when all our governments are doing what he did????

More importantly, no one ever mentions that this is the 10th month of the 14th year past Y2K. You know why? Because it would sound as ridiculous as Shemitah, and have about the same meaning, none. I love a great twist, but sometimes it's just too much. I was once asked if 9/11 was an "inside job", and I said YES. The person who asked the question then proceeded to give me some of his conspiracy theories. I then asked him which 9/11 he was talking about. He said 2001. I laughed. "No, dummy that was done by 19 terrorists." 9/11/1857 was what I was thinking of when the Mormons killed unarmed travelers at the Mountain Meadow Massacre in Utah. The next time I heard from him, he had come up with a theory that the two were connected, since both were pulled off my man made religions, both having almost the same beginning, YADA YADA.

People will believe anything if you tell it the right way, and invent, in their minds, plausible dots for them to connect. It doesn't even have to make sense, just have coincidence and intrigue, just like Shemitah.
Shemitah or not. Explain to me how the governments of the world pay back the money they have borrowed? In particular, if interest rates are higher. HOW DO THEY EXIT THIS?

We used to have a saying at our business. Stupid is supposed to be painful!!!!

It's too bad when the pain comes the central bankers will be seated high in their ivory towers with their heads still stuck up each others ass!!!!!

I agree, and the fact that all countries owe someone, means that probably when the world ends, most will still be in debt. I don't think governments look at debt like you or I. They aren't responsible enough to worry about who or what they owe. If families in the world ran their budgets like governments, there would be more homeless people than we have now, and it would be impossible to borrow a shovel, let alone money.
There will never be stock market crash ever again.

My opinion, it's all about Festivus. ... . I am sure that, if given the time, I could draw some kind of connection between the end of "Seinfeld" and any particular event that could possibly be presented to me.

It is just as plausible, after all, as the stories spun told by the precariously mentally balanced kooks who brought us such stories as "We never landed on the moon," "Dinosaur fossils were put there by God to test our faith," "Mankind descended from the Anunnaki," "9/11 was a controlled demolition," "Earth is 6-10,000 years old" and other tales that are spun out of naked speculation, the drawing of wild conclusions from ill-established fact, and/or a basic misunderstanding of metaphorical biblical text.

For all those kooks, weirdos, and off-kilter wackos who embrace this sort of thing, the end of the world is, indeed, coming (at some point in time). Please do the rest of us a favor and off yourself now so that the Apocalypse will be more pleasant for the rest of us.

Debt creates money, hence you can never get rid of debt.if there is no debt there is no money. Debt is perpetual and will last forever till the end of the world.

This is because private central banks control the money flow charging interest to the governments all over the world.

The govt has to print its own money....but we all know this is not going to happen.

Interesting discussion.

The thing is Not how to pay back the debt. Debt will still exist until the world ends. Like you say.

If you know something about management. All things are managed including debt. Either it's personal, company or government, the question is : Can Debt be managed successfully?

In personal term, what makes a person fail or be poor? It's not debt. It's credibility and debt management. A person can be rich and yet they have nothing under his name. How? Debt and debt management.

A person can own a house, yet they are poor. But if they have credibility to manage debt, somebody will lend them money to give going.

Yes , but why be responsible with debt when you can have infinite money...
There is a difference between money and currency. The powers that be are destroying the currency. Currency is tertiary, and currency is a debt. Just add zeros on the currency and it appears that your wealthy if people chose to believe in your currency

Money on the other hand gets closer to primary wealth. Gold, silver or paid for property is true wealth are primary examples. It's not reproduced at the wave of the wizards hand. Gold and silver obviously are easier to carry around than your house or land, but these objects require labor and time to dig up or build or plow.

The game is about confidence in the currency which they keep printing and adding zeros. The winners of the game will be the folks who understand the difference between primary wealth, secondary wealth and tertiary wealth.

Primary wealth is land. Secondary wealth is the product produced from the land. Crops, gold and silver are examples. Tertiary wealth examples would be contracts like futures or derivatives. Easily printed and reproduced. Just like currency.

The question is always, When does the confidence game end? The tertiary wealth vanishes and the primary and secondary wealth become pursued like tertiary wealth was in the past.

Our choices are wide and vast. Some will chose wisely and other won't.
