What’s goin’ on~?

Here is a rough transcription of the presentation for people who are hard of hearing. Apologies for the lack of grammar, I am working to improve the automated transcriptions -
hello sexy people on forums and rights for slides today and really well connected because everything in the world is connected but I wouldn’t know how to put them together you have a go if you like a put this up just because I found it very interesting at all the company that makes put things versus Amazon profit in billions of dollars per quarter going back to 2009 so these quarters the sticky up blues or Apple and the not very sticky up yellows are Amazon and that is the difference between Amazon and Apple in the amount of profit that they make each quarter if you follow the link and read the article you can find about the different men Tallahassee behind the operations and how they’re both dominating their own markets but in different ways with different plans and another huge differential amazing really so that it for number one this is from machines blog and again from his relationship with the new walkaway.com man the chat that setup I am a company to help Americans walkaway from their homes basically went to them as a one-stop shop and they supplied all the information you would need to just send the keys back to the bank okay and of all their clients that did walkaway they’ve divided up into this pie chart in their age bracket the age bracket of Americans that did walk walkaway please select your age brackets I imagine it was an interactive graph one-time the top left kind of purply blue 34% but by far the biggest was the 50 to 59 age brackets are the 15-year-olds were the biggest bracket gold bar, 25% was the next name of the 40 to 49-year-old 40-year-olds 40 to 49
the older fellows the 60 to 69 it is all quite interesting as Nick Sellers sixtysomething-year-olds are were third with these the 30 to 39 the younger people are at 17% and 70 to 79 were 3% of it but the main walkaway is with the 50 to 59-year-olds I found that vaguely interesting and again it’s quite an interesting article to read because underneath this is an awful lot are just a list of statistics from the walkaway man about the type of people walked away and there are reasons that they gave for why they walked away from their mortgage and it’s all very interesting right again formation with a relationship is got with some fellow the lights to make these charts are about gasoline use a new use leaders different types of our product use inhabited this is being ample right down to simply gasoline usage and this is in summer months as June July and August for the various years going back to 1991 so you got the blue red and green for June July and August for each of those months and plotted on the this chart and the these found the the effect that we can see is very clear from 1991 always up to 2007 it’s bottom left top right it’s just clearly rising and rising and rising top 2007 something happen and then it started coming down but with a little kick up in 2010 it’s written on the chart that that was from stimulus effect on exactly what it was we we don’t really know or care but it did have a little kick up in 2010 for some reason and then it is continued its descent now this is gasoline usage in the summer months and so they have compared across and August gasoline use is the same as it was in 2002 and died June’s usage is the same as 2002 with July is the same as 2001 so would been to the top of the peak on our summer vacation and were coming down again and with gone win-win going up to 2007 men were just coming back and back McEnroe Achenbach and now going downhill at 2002 and 2001 and it really does go to show that there is some great change has come to pass in the American market as a whole economy as a whole that gasoline use age beside for that little kick up in 2010 is has reached a peak and it is over that big and going down the other side last chart I’ve pulled off Fred am again it’s really quite a surprising chart it doesn’t fit in with the end and the others but I have these tabs open and I look for the kind of links that I can link things together and make a bit of a story each time but these four were just ones that I thought were interesting but I couldn’t link in with anything so they just individual ones on their own flow so from some loose Fred labour force participation rate for men labour force participation rate for men the amount of men that are working in the working basically lets keep it at that going back to 1945 going back to the end of the Second World War where 86% of men will working and it’s just such a consistent dropping down and you can see it’s taken a real acceleration over the last five years since the great recession but the whole trend is top left bottom right and now it’s down to 70% from 8687 down to 70% but consistent extremely consistent over that extremely long period since the end of the Second World War with as I say and Excel oration over this great recession period and why why why are so few men participating in the economy working I don’t know that I’ll just like around your so done Amazon versus Apple’s profits were done the age groups of the people that sent their keys back but walked away from their mortgage from their home gasoline usage which reached the peak and is on its way down again and that very strange one from the St Louis Fed labour force participant participation rate for men consistently coming down top left bottom right since the Second World War leader William thanks by

    I suppose the labour force participation rate for women should also be looked at.

    http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/LNS11300002
    The rate climbed up to a peak of about 60% in 2001 and then slowly dropped a couple of percent.

    Looks like labour participation has peaked….

    Here’s Nige givin ‘em a bit of earache.

    He is reckoning on another decade of “Euro-Misery”, as TPTB in Euroland refuse to listen to anything other than their ego’s.

    The petrol consumption chart is dropping more quickly than it ramped up. Wonder where it will stabilise?

       I’ll use the girl’s participation rate in a video, because I think it is saying something (not sure what~?)

      I have this ready for watching ……. you may like it.  I think RD is sooper~!

        Yep, worth watching. Although da bitch did get on me nerves wiv da interruptin an all.

        Will TPTB get the balancing act together? Probably not.

        I am beginning to wonder if the devil deflation is really so dreadful?

        But my personal interpolation of the current mood is that we are in for a long long long haul of minimal growth, housing stagnation and high unemployment. And nuffin TPTB can do will really change very much.

        So maybe they should ignore the quick fixes and “injections of stimulations” and plan for a decade of no growth, trying to wring out the inefficiencies in the economy and spread the load more evenly amongst the people?

        If they came clean and said that is what the future looks like, then people could also plan accordingly.

        But it won’t happen, because TPTB don’t think long term.

           Yes, I thought Ray was very polite (in not giving her a slap).

          But, as he says …….. they do have to balance out the deleveraging or things turn to mega-shit (or `depression`).
          If those debts are not paid back, someone is going to lose.
          Da banks …………….
          Like’em or hate’em, they are handy to have around~!

          • CSArichardo

            Yep Ray is all about balancing his portfolio and being in the right investment mix before other people want to go to that mix !!

    Gold shot up and so did silver. Which is fine by me.

    “The Federal Reserve said it will expand its holdings of long-term securities with open-ended purchases of $40 billion of mortgage debt a month in a third round of quantitative easing as it seeks to boost growth and reduce unemployment.”

    But will it work?

    I don’t think so.

    Fiscal policies are required now.

       No it won’t work. You can’t fix a wealth shortage by increasing the wealth shortage.
      “There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about
      by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should
      come sooner as a result of the voluntary abandonment of further credit
      expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency
      system involved”. — Ludwig von Mises

    Here’s Schiff having a rant on Bernanke’s latest 40 Billion/month MBS splurge.

    http://www.europacmetals.com/commentaries/newsid416/161/operation-screw-the-fed-goes-all-in-on-qe/default.aspx

    He needs to look into MMT a little bit, as his ending was a little weak.

    But really, what on earth does the Bernank hope to achieve by purchasing humongous amounts of MBS’s? Another housing bubble? Or at least reduce the deflation in asset prices.

    Poor ol’ Ben, he really should be relieved of his responsibility of keeping employment up, leaving him with just financial stability and inflation to battle with.

    Jobs should lie solely with fiscal policies.

      Thanks for that ……… it was fun.
      I mean, I don’t disagree with much of what he says; but, have a great desire to give him a slap (especially every time he says `Ben Bernanke` ……… which is a lot~!~).
