Afternoon Delight 11/22/11, SPX

And why was the super committee a massive failure and what about all those trillions of cuts that get immediately enacted? HAHAHAHAHAHA, they wrote the bill. They knew what they were doing in August when they wrote it. "But the big federal deficit reductions that are to be triggered by Monday's super-committee collapse wouldn't kick in until January 2013. And that allows plenty of time for lawmakers to try to rework the cuts or hope that a new post-election cast of characters — possibly a different president — will reverse them." It is all MEANINGLESS! HAHAHAHAHAHA Congress Has Over a Year to Thwart Spending Cuts - US Business News - CNBC

The failed attempt at rumoring the market up today (maybe it failed because it was not a rumor) was, Uncle Sam To The Rescue: IMF Creates New European Bail Out Facility, The "Precautionary And Flexible Credit Lines" | ZeroHedge "And here is the math: Italy's quota is 7,882.3SDR; Spain is 4,023.4 SDR. Multiply by 5 and you get 40 Billion and 20 billion SDRs respectively, which translates to $61 billion and $31 billion. A total of $91 billion in additional capacity? And that's it: enough to fund Italy and Spain for... two months. This is the best the regime can come up with?" You see, as I have been saying for years, the math no longer (never) works. The difference now is they used to be able to kick the can for years, then it became months, now it is only weeks.

Denninger put it very nicely the other day when following the O-MFG debacle he penned, "The market is done folks. You can be right but if you make your bet in the markets, are right, and then get screwed anyway when someone steals the money and nobody goes to jail there comes a time when people begin to understand that it can happen to them and will unless they depart the market."

"This is bad juju folks. If confidence in the sanctity of customer deposits is lost across the financial system you will see a massive run on brokerages and banks -- after all, if this is going to happen to the futures markets with MF what happens to the farmer who uses these markets as a way to sell forward his production and thus bring certainty to his business operations?"

Obummer bashing -

This is, well, words can't do this one justice. I guess he's trying to give his voter base more HOPE. I guess if you are drug dealer, a user or a convicted gambler you got HOPE on your side!
