Declining Pound Savior of Britain


IBBPVA-W 7-3-2016

QUESTION: Marty
It looks like Carney and Osborne are talking the pound down in order to frighten people.

Only one of their prophesies have come true – the lower value of sterling.
But it is unhelpful that they continue to be negative – even though they’ve proved to have been wrong on all the other things [cost of borrowing, asset prices, the UK deficit, cancellation of investments].

I fear [being a Brit] that too much unwarranted negativity from their position of power will take the pound down too far. Do you agree that can achieve that and that they, representing the establishment, are trying to win back some of the lost ground? I would say that is treason [not to carney as he’s a Canadian. I’d tell him to go home].

Thanks

ANSWER: The reason “value” investing and “fair value” theories fail is because markets ALWAYS over shoot and under shoot. Our next real zone for the pound is in the mid 120 level. However, ironically, European concepts of currency value is SERIOUSLY WRONG. Post-World War II, European politicians used the rise in their currencies as proof that they did a good job. That installed this concept that a strong currency was good for the economy which in fact if you are concerned about trade, you want a weak currency. The entire reason the Swiss put a peg on to the euro was because the rise in the franc was reducing exports and major companies threatened to leave.

Mother-MerkelThe decline in the pound will BOOST British exports and have exactly the opposite effect helping the British economy. The EU is doomed. Over taxes, over regulated and it has no meaningful democratic process. Worse still, just as Merkel by herself tried to help her negative image because of her harsh dealings with Greece wanted to appear reasonable, she invited the refugees in without any right of other countries to object. She made a decision as Germany, but it automatically impacts all of Europe. Under the EU, no such power should be allowed if all governments must suffer because of one leader.

The pound will drop to penetrate the $1 par level probably no later than 2018. With the political chaos of French and German elections next year, that decline can take place sooner than later. But this is what will force a monetary reform as early as 2018. The rise in the dollar will reduce US exports and that will put political pressure in the States for reform not to mention a debt crisis in emerging markets.

The peak in bonds appears to be in place. We are seeing the rates rise already in the peripheral markets. This will spread from the peripherals in toward the core. So Southern European rates will rise faster than German but when capital figures out the crisis is the EU, then German rates will rise. The Federal rates in the USA will be the LAST to rise because the initial shock will be foreign capital fleeing to the States.

The remarks of British politicians are to be seen in their context of this false perception that a strong currency is good. You hear Trump criticizing China as a “currency manipulator” implying they lower the value of their currency to increase trade. As the pound declines, this will save British jobs – it’s a good thing; not bad.

Elitism, Globalism, Corporatism, Bureaucrats and Two Current Senators….


This speech and the following link show exactly what is wrong with our political/business system system today. When governments get their hands in anything they always screw it up, while telling us they are fixing everything and while they end up with all the wealth; now what is wrong with that?

More Trouble for the EU – Austrian Election Declared a Fraud


Election-5-22-2016

Austria’s Constitutional court has ordered that the May’s presidential election be completely annulled. A new election must be held because of “particularly serious cases” of voting fraud that was detected in the vote. If the election is not rigged, then we may have another country seek to exit the EU or give them a good scare.  There are some currents moving under the surface in the EU. The German Finance Minister Mr Schäuble really wants a treaty between the EU and the UK covering trading rules and other regulations that would restrict Britain from gaining access to the EU’s internal market. His hard-line approach is designed to deter other European countries from leaving the EU. His view, according to sources, he wants to punish Britain to ensure there are no incentives for other member states when renegotiating relations.

However, Mr Schauble also wants to use BREXIT to begin a reform process in the EU for he wants to change the structure for Germany. He too wants to eliminate the EU Commission and introduce a new structure that would then oversee debts, stability and growth of all members and would have greater control to step-in and reject member states’ budget plans. In reality, he was direct control, however, he seems to also want Germany to have some sort of final say on the financial plans of all countries within the Eurozone.

The future remains very much up in the air. The Constitutional Court overturning the Austrian Election may change the game.

Hillary: The Most Devious Politician of All Time?


Hillary Laughing

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; Have you ever met or advised Hillary Clinton?

ANSWER: No. I was asked to meet with Bill when he was first elected in Arkansas after he invited hundreds of people for a dog and pony show. I declined. There is nothing I could advise Hillary on, for it is never about the country; it is just about her. The latest scandal surfacing is her schedule as Secretary of State, which a judge has now ordered must be turned over. Hillary’s scheduled meetings while she was Secretary of State shows she was devious and untrustworthy. At least 75 meetings were identified with longtime loyal donors, corporate contributors, and others that were not recorded in her agenda or were listed with identifying details removed.

Hillary appeared on the central balcony of the New York Stock Exchange in September 2009 to ring the opening bell. Then, minutes later, Hillary attended a private breakfast with influential Wall Street and business leaders. She withheld the identities of those people she met with. These omissions are just the tip of the iceberg of names and events she omitted from her historical record of meetings. This is typical of Hillary who represents the climax of arrogance and corruption among career politicians. These types of people have been getting away with this for so long that they cannot imagine running a government for any reason other than personal gain.

No, there is nothing I would be able to advise her on because she is not interested in the country. It has always been about her being the first woman president and nothing else. It’s all about paying her for favors. There is nothing I need from Hillary.

The Clinton’s Always Play Dirty


Clinton-Lynch

The Attorney General Loretta Lynch met privately with Bill Clinton on the tarmac in Phoenix. The claim is he just happen to see her plane and hopped on board to speak only about his grandchildren. In the Forecaster, Oliver Brown appeared who had been in charge of the law library in the New York prison. I was told I could not speak to him, visit him, say thank you, or anything, because I could be accused of bribing him to appear in the movie. This is standard legal advice. It made me feel wrong that I could not even say hello, but that is the real world. Here we have two lawyers who know the rules. Clinton met with the Attorney General while she is supposed to be investigating his wife. To now claim they only spoke about his grandchildren is an insult and total bullshit. This is something any lawyer would tell you – you CANNOT do.

The Attorney General has now been compromised. She should RESIGN. Sorry, but this is the real world. I could not even say hello to Oliver Brown and still have not spoken to him, seen how he is doing, or been able to say thank you. Bill Clinton knew what he was doing and Lynch knew as well. Enough is enough. They simply assumed they could get away with it on a tarmac. She was in the plane already. That means he went out of his way to jump on the plane. This is not giving a smile walking past someone you know as a lawyer you cannot speak to legally. We already know Lynch will NEVER indict Hillary. It would be political suicide for her career and Obama has no doubt already told her – lay off. It does not take this long to investigate and Hillary should not be running if she was REALLY under any possibility of being charged. That means the whole Democratic machine has assurances from the White House Hillary will never be prosecuted. Bill just had to make sure since this is the woman who can stop him from becoming the first male First Lady.

Does Brexit Represent an Ideological Forecast For U.S. 2016 Presidential Outcome?..


The globalists that are ALL OUT TO LINE THEIR OWN POCKETS have created a situation that could bring down Western Civilization completely and in a worst case scenario take us into a second Dark Age! We are on the brink of something very very bad!

The European Elitist Dream – the Superstate as it is becoming known


Superstate Page One

QUESTION: There are now stories appearing about this nine-page document calling it and ultimatum for a superstate. But they are not publishing the document. Since you may have been first to report this, do you have the document?

Thatcher-Federal EuropeANSWER: Yes. Please note. This is a radical proposal that sees the “European Project” (EU) with one government and the annihilation of individual state identity as the end goal from the very outset.

This is not some conspiracy theory. As far back as 1990, Margaret Thatcher opposed the euro project because she KNEW that was just the start and that the end goal has always been to federalize Europe into this single “superstate” people are now finally starting to call it.

This is a major UNCERTAINTY which lies ahead. It is the EU government becoming desperate that their dream will be lost. They cannot understand that the very path they have chosen is hell bent upon creating European Civil War by attempting to force this one government fits all ideal.

Hillary’s Questionable Past


Hillary Whitewater Time Cover

QUESTION: I found your article on Hillary email scandal very informative. So you are saying that the financial scandals were all Hillary, not Bill?

ANSWER: Correct. The Whitewater scandal was Hillary, not Bill. Bill was into sex, but Hillary was the dominant money grabber. She was the first, first lady to be involved in the corruption scandals. The email scandal is just showing her tendency to hide her shenanigans. There were a number of Time Magazine articles regarding her involvement in Whitewater back in 1994. On March 21, 1994, George Church from Time Magazine wrote, “Whitewater also involves the First Lady; one would have to look very long through the mountain of Watergate clippings before coming across even a glancing mention of Pat Nixon.”

Just look at this email scandal. Bill Clinton said he has maybe sent two emails in his life. Hillary deleted more than 30,000 emails calls them “personal” and before she knew Bill had publicly denied using email, she claimed that more than 30,000 “contain[ed] personal communications from my husband and me” (see Telegraph March 10, 2015). So why is the American Press not all over her for this? Guess they are bought and paid for as well.

The Pound & Euro For Month-End


IBEUUS-M 6-30-2016

We can see that the green uptrend line has been penetrated previously on this decline. Nevertheless, the euro is unable to rally beyond that 116 level where it elected the Yearly Bearish Reversal at year-end. So people have been impatient and always expect instantaneous moves despite the fact we warned the euro had to go back to retest the 116 level since it closed 2015 at 10869. We saw that rally but it was like watching paint dry. The markets have been extending this crisis because we are dealing with a very critical long-term event which may result in economy chaos globally by 2018. The retest of the 116 level stopped at 11616 during the week of May 2nd, which was 23 weeks from the lowest close the week of November 23rd, 2015. From this May high, the euro has elected two Weekly Bearish Reversals and now we have 10790 and 10705, You will see this is tends to be supported technically for that uptrend line lies at 10750. There is some additional technical support at the 10600 area. Nonetheless, we also have a Monthly Bearish at 10710. From a technical perspective, a closing below the May low of 11098 will be very bearish. AT the time of this posting, the euro is trading at 11104.

IBBPVA-M 6-30-2016

For all the yelling and finger pointing at the Brits and the politicians say look at the pound and that proves the “leave” camp was wrong, what they fail to grasp here is because Britain has its own currency, the pressure is funneled into the pound whereas the crisis takes shape in Europe by causing the peripheral bonds to decline and rates to rise in the open market. True, we have a Weekly Bearish Reversal at 13228. On the monthly level, all Bullish Reversals are above the 150 level. Our Monthly Bearish to watch is 13660 and with the pound trading at the time of this post at 13431, this remains a key resistance point. The pound did penetrated the 2009 low of 13508. Despite that 2009 collapse, the Monthly Bearish was 13680 back then which held confirming the temporary low was in place. This means we have 13660 and 13680 coming into play today. Indeed, the 13680 is also a Quarterly Bearish along with 13970. Therefore, if these are elected today, this means long-term we are looking at a retest of the 1985 low which many people though just a few months ago was a totally crazy forecast.

IBBPVA-Q 6-30-2016

Nevertheless, a pound closing today below 13660 will warn that the long-term is in motion. We should see the retest of the 1985 level near par and slightly break it as soon as 2018. Even the oscillator on the quarterly level has plenty of room for such a decline.

Trade Deals and Fig Newtons…


I’ll tell for fact this Fig Newton analogy is not overstated and in fact its much worse when all the associated capital flows are also analyzed. If something isn’t done and very quickly there will no longer be a United States; I have been studying this issue in dept since the mid ’90s and no one until now cared. The question is, is it too late to fix?
