If you listen to the Jim Sinclair interview, he says this will be great for the stock market, and that stocks will do even better than gold. Dollar down, Dow up, gold up, but less so. THey are kicking the can, which means no doom for quite awhile longer.

Exxon - Laying people off.
Best Buy - Closing stores.
Proctor and Gamble - Laying people off.


Realizing those three players are sinking quickly should open a few peoples eyes..

some congressman is recommending USPS layoff 266,000

Military is talking cutting back 100,000
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2926765


=====================

USPS is BLOATED and should have been re-organized YEARS ago. I was in a P.O. yesterday, and the 'attitude' of the P.O. workers was pathetic. Grown adults acting like they're still in H.S. TOP HEAVY also with 'managers'. I personally know a clerk who takes home 65-70K a year...a clerk. And then the entitlements that especially the older workers get. COMPLETELY out of control for years.

G.Papandreou is responsible! He is the socket-puppet of Hilary Clinton and G.Soros

Read more about how his corrupted government changed the statistics in order to get the IMF involved and actually bring a default that would trigger the CDS payments (his family and G.Soros are owners of such CDS)

[link to www.neurope.eu]

All these liberal-acting scams are just ruthless NWO puppets. Note that G.Papandreou is an American citizen but he cannot enter the US since he will be arrested (just like Strauss Khan) for the CDS scam since there is no political immunity for American citizens even if they have diplomatic immunity.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9873650


Yeah all the 'liberal' banks who never vote republican sold the worthless mortgages and traded the default swaps for them.

Let me tell you, allmost all bankers vote right wing republican. Cos that party is the corporate money party. It is the party that let the banks regulate themselves, give them more freedom.

Right wing ideology is failing all the time. It is cos they just don't want to see some truths. Like winners of capitalism grow and grow till we have a few companies who have cornered every market, destroyed competition and runs us all like oligarchic communism.

And they are blind to see or address income inequality which means they let the few very very rich get more and more power and wealth.

Right wing parties were supposed to be better economic parties. But it seems wrong now, it seems they just only know short term economics and are clueless about long term economics and the value of labour.

It looks like EU is setting up new rules to regulate derivatives. There's a Rooters news article just posted 29 minutes ago revealing their new plan and outlining the new CDS rules that are planned. I can't link to a rooters here on GLP without getting banned, etc :D

This could be huge, if true.

The 5 US largest banks have 97% of credit default swaps out there. As Euro defaults kick in, parties become contractually obligated to make huge payouts to the relevant derivative partners. But there is not enough money on planet earth to do so.

Everybody loses.

Rule number one: In no way shall a haircut constitute a credit event.

Rule number two: (In an effort to maintain liquidity and prevent bankruptcies) if a credit event should be needed to maintain a larger company heavily invested in CDS they shall be exempt from rule number one and given their full credit event allotment with no haircut, but only if they employ more than 50,000 workers or are a member in the EMF interests.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9873650



Yeah, great disparity between the rich and poor makes for an unstable society. The ultra rich think they are safe behind their castle walls. Well, if it gets bad enough, the masses are coming over those walls. The better off the poorest, most vulnerable members of society are, the better off we all are.

The wealthy are smart enough to know exactly how much of the pie they need to give us...just enough to keep us all scrapping for the crumbs. Meanwhile, they feast on bountiful harvests behind the gates of their palatial estates.

I guarantee 100% not one of the banks will lose a dime. They already said that if Greece, Portugal, big corporations, etc goes under, it will be a
"reorganization", not a default. For the exact purpose of not triggering default swaps. It's not right, but that's what they publicly said they will do. They will not allow another lehman situation.
