So I think as interest rates and inflation goes up that money moves faster. But it is also true that as money moves faster, prices go up. So the comment, "which is cause and which is effect?" is correct. There is a big of "genie out of the bottle" problem, when inflation starts going it can be hard to stop. I think it is the feedback of inflation making velocity go up and velocity going up making inflation go up, that makes it hard to stop inflation once it starts.

Two sides of a balance sheet depression which we know here well. Those reserves are for what we discussed as reg T and the SEC significantly reformed Rule 2a-7, a regulation governing money market funds. Among other requirements, these reforms required money market funds to hold significant liquidity and imposed stricter maturity limits. The thought map to cover the margin debt leverages we discussed and are well aware of as claims while the SEC Permits Portfolio Margining of Credit Default Swaps. I think of it as playing poker in a whirwind but the release of those funds is the transitory holding from the 1983 of intent in the CCI program policy framework that already existed so that rings true if we like it or not. The question on a positive note if it was that bad it would already be and we understand that clearly with GGS dynamics as resources and thought. We know the usual suspects in addition to GD. We mentioned that fiat always has a safety valve and it did for short time in the discussion reference of time while the Wheat was burning in Russia. We defined beta and risk which to date I do not see as more they insist are stepping out of the risk curve. Like we noted since GATT, NAFTA, and now TransPacific Parnership (TPP) when they doubled down on reserves it was the classic faustion bargain from even there own playbook and GD outline early in the book. They are not blind or dumb and know what side needs repair. Call it mission creep or to covet since it applies also as does GD. Water, Wheat, and Weather distilled to the actual means of production of scarce resources. The taxpayer is the root issue as much as the assembled rent seeking educational model clearly discussed from Gatto and numerous other non statist sane actors of production. The WTO is a exclusionary cartel protection trade racket just as you outlined earlier as fun in the sun. Can TPP model better trade flows since to date indeed some have severe reserved thoughts to date as Common law to Napoleonic Code Misanthropes we see now in power who need a swift kick in the arse. I can only suppose they understand the gravity of the times or for that matter any time since the relegated trade provisions first, and facts later so who knows. Tick tock and they know it.

I pulled out of shorts on this dip when 1832 held. For now I had better assume it holds.

last october : in examining banks' commodity business the Fed is unlikely to concern itself with market manipulation, lawyers have said, something that is the remit of two other regulators, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
There also may be little the Fed can do about the fact that Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs have far wider leeway to operate in commodity markets than their rivals, because of a quirk in the banking law.
"They may reconsider some of their orders, but they won't seek a change in the law," The two banks sought refuge with the Fed at the height of the financial crisis by changing their status to bank holding companies, and the move enabled them to use a grandfathering clause for their commodity activities.

God mode has its own fulcrum. As you know H been selling into for some time. They will light the fuse with dry powder not us.

A old man when I was very, very young told me what was to be on on how the people would be treated.
Uncanny how those old souls could see but thats just me on a specific local issue of its day alone.

Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars

Hayek on Keynes:
The decisive assumption on which Keynes’s original argument rested and which has since ruled policy is that it is impossible ever to reduce the money wages of a substantial group of workers without causing extensive unemployment. The conclusion which Lord Keynes drew from this, and which the whole of his theoretical system was intended to justify, was that since money wages can in practice not be lowered, the adjustment necessary, whenever wages have become too high to allow “full employment,” must be effected by the devious process of reducing the value of money. A society which accepts this is bound for a continuous process of inflation.

Consider the dandelion. Many people see this plant only as a weed. But it’s an excellent source of calcium, potassium, iron, and manganese. It’s full of vitamins A, C, E, K, niacin, and riboflavin. The lecithin in its flower can detoxify the liver, and might help combat Alzheimer’s Disease.

In the context of a pristine lawn, it’s a nuisance. Place it in a different context—as a source of nutrition—and the picture changes completely. Context has a similar impact on employees. If you adjust work conditions appropriately, you can activate people’s hidden talents.

That might mean, for example, establishing workplace environments that enable individual value creation, or focusing training programs on bringing out and developing exceptional abilities, or establishing performance-management systems that de-emphasize conformity and instead focus on removing obstacles to higher performance.

The disappearance of these two men will be part of an overall generational change. This is from Johns views which is indeed correct
on many levels of closure. And my comment H on the new equilibruim phase we moved into as the nash paradox. I could not view the
futures contract as accurate and will look at next tuesday for any pattern adapting opportunitys. The afternoon session was discarded
on my part only but only to adjust going forward from previous bias into this window we noted. I think we seen enough to consider
the confirmation bias from our view only close enough...

Anyways using a Logarithmic Function of three in NDT "non destructive testing"
the current regulations included the point you have a 97 percent chance in
100 years you will never find it. Training was not explained and life cycle costs
they just found out in west virginia are now economically externlized.
Example: Log 3 was in three day without water and three weeks with no food we know what happens.
The other side of the coin is you have no inspectors in that zone and when they have mindsets to never let a
crisis go to waste the end indeed is closer. It will be exploited to never scale back once the institutionlized bureaucracy
overwelms the system as "entiltled" so the system drags down and implodes. If half of the Federals Institutionlized
mentats went away we could log three what is right sized and properly instill already regulated best practises. FWIW
LOG 3 the government since we seen in advance what was to be on the jobs function we posted a few pages back....
For those who did not survive the well we always budgeted five percent more each year where did you go?
Like our last ice storm while counties went black. We called three friends to call three friends and so on.
Sounds different but so are the days we are in.

The fiscal cliff could threaten funding for the Civil War Centennial Commission, a $49K study on the sex life of the South American Sand Flea, $120 million in paychecks to dead Federal employees, $17.8 million in foreign aid to China, $9 billion in private jet planes for government employees, $10 million to subtitle Sesame Street in Pashtu, and $48,000 for a Hawaii Chocolate Festival. Insanity has one path.

Economics neither approves nor disapproves of government measures restricting production and output. It merely considers it its duty to clarify the consequences of such measures. LVM 1949

Distinction between intelligent and unintelligent intervention, and even the need for the former to preserve a partly free market economy, Mises leaves his sectarian Utopia and joins the rest of us in choosing among imperfect but possible alternatives in the real world Schuller 1951

Who would you want deciding economic policy? Politicians who wait all year to address such problems as the fiscal cliff and then blabber about the data points like monkeys in a cage for months on end? Or economists who have studied the science of monetary policy their whole lives? Dr Paul Krugman 2012

One reason for greater caution when trading equities in 2014 is provided by the economists at Kiplinger’s.
In the latest issue of The Kiplinger Letter they write: “Look for public corporations to pour less into share buybacks this year.

The "Congress of the Confederation" opened in the last stages of the American Revolution. Combat ended in October 1781, with the surrender of the British after the Siege and Battle of Yorktown. The British, however, continued to occupy New York City, while the American delegates in Paris, named by the Congress, negotiated the terms of peace with Great Britain.[3] Based on preliminary articles with the British negotiators made on November 30, 1782, and approved by the "Congress of the Confederation" on April 15, 1783, the Treaty of Paris was further signed on September 3, 1783, and ratified by Confederation Congress then sitting at the Maryland State House in Annapolis on January 14, 1784.

Due to the severe winter of 1783–1784 (now known to be a consequence of the volcanic eruption of Laki in Iceland) only delegates from seven of the thirteen states were present in Congress. According to the Articles of Confederation, nine states were required to enter into a treaty. One faction believed that seven states could ratify the treaty; arguing that they were merely ratifying and not entering into a treaty. Furthermore, it was unlikely that the required delegates could reach Annapolis before the ratification deadline.[5]

Thomas Jefferson's faction believed that a full nine states were required to ratify the treaty. Any less would be trickery which Britain would eventually find out, giving it an excuse to nullify the treaty. Jefferson stated that it would be a "dishonorable prostitution" of the Great Seal of the United States

Jefferson was elected to head a committee of members of both factions and arrived at a compromise. Assuming that only seven states were present, Congress would pass a resolution stating that the seven states present were unanimously in favor of ratification of the treaty, but were in disagreement as to the competency of Congress to ratify with only seven states. That although only seven states were present, their unanimous agreement in favor of ratification would be used to secure peace. The vote would not set a precedent for future decisions; the document would be forwarded to the US ministers in Europe who would be told to wait until a treaty ratified by nine states could arrive, and to request a delay of three months. However, if Britain insisted, then the Ministers should use the seven-state ratification, pleading that a full Congress was not in session.[5]

In the event, delegates from Connecticut and South Carolina arrived at the last moment, and nine states ratified the treaty. Three copies were sent by separate couriers to ensure delivery.
