Get Ready For Negative Interest Rates In The US


The problem in the US is a smaller and smaller percentage of the citizens are working and those that aren’t are retired or on welfare. This means that there is a less and less money for goods (why was last Christmas spending less than 2013?) Unemployment is a meaningless value If there were 50,000,000 people in the country working and do one was looking for work the unemployment rate would be zero. But with 320,000,000 people in the country probably 160,000,000 should be working. If the right number of people aren’t working than the government makes up for it by printing money but that doesn’t work in the long run and thing collapse.

This Is The Beginning Of The End For The Euro


Printing money or quantitative easing, if you will, when allowed to get out of hand, which it now has, always gets very very bad.

This is exactly what is happening and one of the problems with pegged or fixed exchange rates; they work for a while and then the system collapses and we are at that point now.

Judgment Day for the Euro is here!


The Euro & The Waterfall Projection

The interesting part, after the economics, is about half way down when Martin talks about the results of what he shows. Comment by Centinel2012

IBEUUS-W Pi Waterfall 1-24-2015

We have not seen a Waterfall Projection on any market in years. All of a sudden, it showed up in Euro and in Oil. Those who have been with for decades will notice that the projection for the high was virtually a perfect formation at the top of the circle based upon the Pi derivative. That meant we should have then stayed within the circle forming that sharp curve (Waterfall) that will then rush to the bottom of the projection.

IBEUUS-W 1-24-2015

The confirmation that the forecast would be spot on came the week of June 9th, 2014 when the Euro turn NEGATIVE on a Energy models. The inability to mount a recovery warned that the Euro was in a real FREE-FALL to complete the Waterfall.

EUFOR-D 1-22-2015 IBEUUS-FOR-W 1-24-2015

The fascinating aspect about Socrates is how it picks wars and political elections that are reflected in the price movement without any fundamental analysis. Tomorrow, we have Judgment Day – the Greek elections on Europe.

If the polls are accurate, Greece is on the verge of electing the first anti-austerity party in the Euroland. If that happens, Greece’s future will once again be uncertain and we can bet on increased volatility in the months ahead. Our model is warning that there are critical points here. A simple yearly closing below 116 is confirmation of a bear market. Then our targets were 113, 105, and 85. The collapse to 1.1115 with the closing at 1.1209 was longer-term bearish. However, this does not imply a further immediate collapse. A closing below 105 was needed for that.

But the election will be judgment day on how Europe will survive long-term. This financial and economic crisis is the result of academics and lawyers assuming that power can merely dictate to the free markets. Sorry, the Russian had to figure that one out for itself. Centralized government economic planning just does not work. Their own self-interest prevents economic management from working.

The Greece has been bailed out with €240bn (£188bn) from the EU, the ECB and the IMF. But the economy has shrunk by 25%, unprecedented in the modern era. Why? Because these morons just have NEVER understood currency and capital flows. Converting the pre-Euro Greek Debt to euros that doubled, caused their national debt to double in “real” terms and then they suddenly have seen their economy strip-mined. If the Greeks do not pull out of the Euro, we will see civil war erupt there by 2017.

Nov 1918 Revolution Berlin

Many Greeks believe they have been assigned to a laboratory for austerity. The despise the Germans and rightly so. The Germans remain fighting their last nightmare – hyperinflation. They do not understand what took place and simply assign its cause to an increase in money supply when it was a revolution in 1918 where Communism was infiltrating from Russia. Capital fled NOT because of money supply increases, but because of the treat of capital seizures. This is like assuming everyone who ever eat a carrot died eventually so the cause must have been the carrot. It was a 100% correlation.

Europe-Separatist Movement

Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, when in opposition, was mistrusted by Brussels and Berlin. He doubted whether cutting spending in the middle of a recession would work and resisted signing up to it. In power, he has essentially followed the script of the so-called troika; the EU, the IMF and the ECB. This has proven to be BRAIN-DEAD and Europe is facing Judgment Day on a grand scale. This is perhaps the greatest fiasco in modern history of the worst possible fiscal mismanagement in record history. Thus, the Euro is at risk of extinction long-term and it will promote separatism and civil war. This is not personal OPINION, this is the correlation of history.

One World Reserve Currency


Electronic-Money

QUESTION:

Martin,

I must take issue to the answer you gave on Jan 19th to the crypto currency and one world currency question. Mainly the first sentence. You said “ A one world currency seems to be the only POLITICAL solution”. I see that you highlighted the world political. Can you please explain your reasoning for this? My problem with a one world currency is, who would be in control of that currency the IMF? No thanks. This would be the most disastrous outcome in my opinion. (not saying that it won’t happen) Concentrated power is always a bad idea. I believe if they (the powers that be) pull this off we will be one step closer to a one world SOCIALIST government. If a one world currency is the only POLITICAL solution what would, in your opinion be the FREE MARKET SOLUTION?

BM

ANSWER: An agreed upon one-world RESERVE currency would perhaps be a basket. I too am concerned who would be in control. I can say that the IMF is posturing already for that position. There will be the installation of corruption if the the IMF takes control. This is not my personal CHOICE. This is not about my OPINION, it is simply what is unfolding. I am certainly no fan of the IMF.

Nevertheless, the Free Markets would still prevail for each country’s currency would then float against the reserve. This would be the political solution for the major countries could then agree. The problem when one nation’s currency becomes the default world reserve currency (Babylon, Athens, Rome, Britain, Spain, France, USA, etc..), their domestic policy objectives become forced upon the world.

Just as the USA is scared to death of deflation as in the Great Depression and immediately stimulates, the Germans are obsessed with the hyperinflation of the 1920s and keep subjecting themselves and the rest of Europe to austerity (deflation) even at the expense of 60%+ unemployment. Both fight the FREE MARKETS to their own self-destruction. You can die from extreme cold as well as heat. The answer lies in between – never at the extremes of either philosophy.

We are headed into the vortex of fiscal mismanagement. The outcome will be the solution of creating a one-world currency.
