Afternoon Delight 10/19/11, SPX

Not sure where to start today's post. I'm in a bit of shock after the late day swoon (even though it was long overdue) in the markets. I was not sure that was still a possibility. Glad to see it is. Someone must have shut down the FT's communication channels ability this afternoon.

Bottom line is everything is revolving around the EU solvency issues. All lies and fraud aside it appears the end of the rope is coming fast and Germany, not willing to return to its Wiemar roots, is clogging up the corrupted bailout process spoiling the party for everyone across the globe. "Unfortunately for Merkozy, their despotic and tyrranical measures according to which they represent the will of the people yet really all they do is preserve the viability of insolvent French banks, will no longer fly."

Well the FT did get something out today, apparently they were on the short side with their news this afternoon. You have to assume someone if profiting off this news before it is released handsomely. FT Reports Europe To Sacrifice Its Banks To Bailout Sovereigns - Under €100 Billion In Bank Recap Funding Available | ZeroHedge  "Alas, there is no outcome that saves both the banks, and guarantees future European sovereign issuance under the currently contemplated structure. None." The message is clear, sorry Charlie, there ain't enough to go around to save everyone. This is not good.

Just so you know I'm not the only one calling shenanigans on this bullshit market - It is always a pleasure when the experts come behind STB - "We though we were the only ones brought to the verge with the relentless lies out of a completely clueless Europe, which as we learned at last weekend's G20 meeting, has 3 more days to get is act together. Oh wait, they were lying too? Got it. Well, no, David Rosenberg has also had it pretty much up to here."

OK - this is possibly the most important thing I have posted on in months - 

This week I have already reported on the falsified earnings beats and the fact they are using the police in certain situations to keep you from transferring your accounts to other institutions. Why don't the want you to take your funds out? Simple, they have shifted MASSIVE amounts of risk to customer (supposedly FDIC insured) deposits. They are setting us up for the royal fuck job of the century.

"That the firm's ratings have deteriorated and thus it may be required to post additional capital against these positions by those counterparties does not justify shifting the risk to depositors simply so the bank can avoid posting collateral against a deteriorating credit picture, which for all intents and purposes shifts the risk to the taxpayer since the FDIC has a line of credit at Treasury.

"The FDIC does not like the move because it puts the FDIC at risk. Bernanke is fine with the move, which means the Fed and FDIC are once again in an open feud about risk management."
