To summarize, the global equity market is now one massive Ponzi scheme in which the dumb money are central banks themselves, the same banks who inject the liquidity to begin with.

Another conspiracy "theory" becomes conspiracy "fact" as The FT reports "a cluster of central banking investors has become major players on world equity markets." The report, to be published this week by the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum (OMFIF), confirms $29.1tn in market inves…

Familiar mega-banks and investing powerhouses such as Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, UBS, Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, Macquarie Bank, Barclays Bank, the Blackstone Group, Allianz, and HSBC Bank, among others, are consolidating their control over water.

Familiar mega-banks and investing powerhouses such as Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, UBS, Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, Macquarie Bank, Barclays Bank, the Blackstone Group, Allianz, and HSBC Bank, among others, are consolidating their control over water. Wealthy tycoons such as T. Boone Pickens, former President George H.W. Bush and his family, Hong Kong’s Li Ka-shing, Philippines’ Manuel V. Pangilinan and other Filipino billionaires, and others are also buying thousands of acres of land with aquifers, lakes, water rights, water utilities, and shares in water engineering and technology companies all over the world.

The second disturbing trend is that while the new water barons are buying up water all over the world, governments are moving fast to limit citizens’ ability to become water self-sufficient (as evidenced by the well-publicized Gary Harrington’s case in Oregon, in which the state criminalized the collection of rainwater in three ponds located on his private land, by convicting him on nine counts and sentencing him for 30 days in jail). Let’s put this criminalization in perspective:

the Shift has started
Foreign investors report that their return on investment in Africa is higher than in any other emerging region. By 2040, the continent’s working-age population will total an estimated 1.1 billion people, providing businesses with a larger labor pool than even China or India. Moreover, economic expansion is taking place not just in urban centers, but in small towns and villages as well.

The BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) have long been the focus of emerging-market investors. But it is in Africa, the world’s second-fastest growing region, where the next big business opportunities lie.

Emerging Markets Watch.part 1
What is going on , . A big chunk of the trillions of dollars that the FED has pumped into the financial system over the past several years has flowed into emerging markets.

But now that the Fed has decided to begin "the taper"( light version), investors see it as a sign to pull the "hot money" out of emerging markets as rapidly as possible. This is causing currencies to collapse and interest rates to soar all over the planet.

Argentina, Turkey, South Africa, Ukraine, Chile, Indonesia, Venezuela, India, Brazil, Taiwan and Malaysia are just some of the emerging markets that have been hit hard so far. In fact, last week emerging market currencies experienced the biggest decline that we have seen since the financial crisis of 2008.

24/01/2014

Perception : A collapse is something that happens instantly; in writing it's called the inciting incident, the world is normal one moment and in the next everything is up-side-down.
But that is not the way it happens in the real world. Systems have massive inertia. The same physics, the exact same equations thats govern the collision of a bat and ball governs the collisions of tectonic plates.
One takes a couple of milliseconds the other takes years, decades or centuries. The only difference is scale.
Our system, our whole way of life is collapsing, there can be no question. It simply takes a long time. The decline and fall of the Roman empire took some 400 years, but only takes up a few paragraphs in most history books.
Our system will not take that long, technology speeds up the process dramatically.
We have been in decline for about 3 decades (perhaps more) and now we are accelerating towards the fall.

Happy New year From JP MORGAN
Foreclosure fraud, investor fraud, cheating customers, market manipulation, LIBOR … and now, the coup de grâce to JPM’s tattered reputation: a $2 billion fine for closing its eyes and covering up as Bernie Madoff literally bilked widows and orphans, along with a lot of other families and charities

BITCOINS:
Do not follow the hype.It might work in the long run but for now its too immature,fragile ..Crypto Currencies might be an opportunity for humanity to escape central Banking oppression and manipulation, but as of right now it is a bubble.

Until Bitcoin if backed by Gold or finds its stability it is not a safe investment.. If you buy a bitcoin at 1200 dollars you will probably lose money..Bitcoins gained 2000% of its value in a month, with no rationality behind that .

Always Remember:Bubbles are created when investors do not recognize when rising asset prices get detached from underlying fundamentals.
60% held by 100.
65% never traded,
21% used in gambling

Andrew Huszar: Confessions of a Quantitative Easer
http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303763804579183680751473884

In The Wall Street Journal, Andrew Huszar writes that the Fed went on a bond-buying spree that was supposed to help Main Street. Instead, it was a feast for Wall Street.

14/11/2013

I can only say: I'm sorry, America. As a former Federal Reserve official, I was responsible for executing the centerpiece program of the Fed's first plunge into the bond-buying experiment known as quantitative easing. The central bank continues to spin QE as a tool for helping Main Street. But I've come to recognize the program for what it really is: the greatest backdoor Wall Street bailout of all time.

Remember the "Dot.com" Bubble ? Well the Same Behavior could lead to the same consequences, Facebook , Twitter , Snapchat etc etc these companies are overvalued . The financial markets are valuing these firms like they are going to make absolutely massive profits for many decades to come,but most of these companies are not profitable yet .. here is a few interestings facts

#1 In just a few days, the Twitter IPO is expected to raise close to 2 billion dollars even though Twitter actually lost 64.6 million dollars last quarter and has a long history of not being profitable.

#2 It is being projected that after the IPO Twitter could have a market valuation of more than 13 billion dollars.

#3 Twitter is not expected to make a profit until 2015 at the earliest.

#4 According to CNBC, Pinterest is currently valued at 3.8 billion dollars even though it has never earned a profit.

#5 Yahoo paid more than a billion dollars for Tumblr even though Tumblr's revenues are so small that Yahoo is not even required to report them on financial statements.

#6 Snapchat, an Internet service that allows people to send out messages that "self-destruct", is supposedly worth 4 billion dollars. But it actually has zero revenue coming in, and many believe that it is essentially worthless as a money making enterprise.

10 Corporations Control Nearly Everything You Buy - 6 Media Corporations Control Nearly Everything You Read and watch

Ten mega corporations control the output of almost everything you buy; from household products to batteries.

These corporations create the chain of supplies that flow from one another. Each chain begins at one of the 10 super companies.

Here’s just one example: Yum Brands owns KFC and Taco Bell. The company was a spin-off of Pepsi. All Yum Brands restaurants sell only Pepsi products because of a lifetime deal with the soda-maker.

$84 billion company Proctor & Gamble owns companies that produce everything from detergent to toothpaste. Unilever produces everything from Dove soap to Klondike bars.

It’s not just the products you buy and consume, either. In recent decades, the very news and information that you get has bundled together: 90% of the media is now controlled by just six companies, down from 50 in 1983, according to a Frugal Dad infographic from last year.

Goldman Sachs

Total Assets: $113,743,000,000 (a bit more than 113 billion dollars - yes, you read that correctly)

Total Exposure To Derivatives: $42,251,600,000,000 (more than 42 trillion dollars)

That means that the total exposure that Goldman Sachs has to derivatives contracts is more than 371 times greater than their total assets.
