(5-1/2/3/4/5-07) Blazing Full Moon and Lunatic wall street frauds rally, STAGFLATION, AS INFLATION ABOVE EXPECTATIONS (HIGHEST IN 16 YEARS), WEAK GROWTH BELOW EXPECTATIONS, Worthless Dollar Down [they’re printing them like they’re going out of style because they are (so much so that they’ve stopped reporting M3)], then there was also the Weimar Republic, the pre-1929 crash rally, but this is far worse. LEGENDARY VALUE INVESTOR JEREMY GRANTHAM, CHAIRMAN OF BOSTON FIRM GRANTHAM MAYO VAN OTTERLOO, SAYS WE ARE NOW SEEING THE FIRST WORLDWIDE BUBBLE IN HISTORY COVERING ALL ASSET CLASSES. First, realize that the criminal americans lie about everything, especially for money. One expert says that with near record lows against the Euro, Pound, etc., the translation into worthless dollars by multi-nationals artificially inflates profits/stock prices, but that is only part of the story. The Euro Next union brings the fraud to the european exchange rates, much like the carry trades in a ponzi-like commissionable paper scheme in Asia, which ultimately reverts to the mean (arbitrage) and as greenspan says, can’t last and will unravel into what would be tantamount to hot potato/musical chairs with someone holding the bag/precipitous decline/wiped out. The expert also correctly points out that there is now a total disconnect between the market and the u.s. economy which has and will continue to decline/weaken. The fact is also that although superior to the u.s., there are substantial structural problems inherent to the European economies. So absurd was this surge (like nutcase dumbya’s) that the higher oil prices rallied the transports.....riiiiight!

US GDP growth hobbled by stocks of unsold ) still relying on b**l s**t alone, even as Bernanke totally dashes wall street’s previous b.s. story underlying the previous week’s fraudulent up move based on b**l s**t alone and the paper paper chase/commissionable ponzi scheme continues (with borrowed funds) but will unwind/unravel as they always do, Home prices down/worst since '94, defaults up, new home sales unexpectedly down 3.9%.....it’s the weather say the frauds on wall street.....riiiiight!, home inventories up, oil prices up, leading indicators down again, existing home sales unexpectedly up.....right!, even as home inventories up as prices fell, warnings from the tech sector, all no problemo for the frauds on wall street, [fed heads, who’ve been printing worthless dollars like they’re going out of style because they are (so much so that they’ve stopped reporting M3), remove words ‘additional firming’ is excuse for ridiculous mixed close as previously dollar precipitously fell on the news which is catch 22 as same is hyper-inflationary/stagflationary and dollar denominated assets fall in value], home construction unexpectedly up according to government report (riiiiight.....if you believe same.....I don’t) though permits down, lunatic frauds on wall street rally on the news, builder/construction sentiment down again and now below 50% reflecting reality, obfuscating mergers/b.s. to the rescue,  previous CPI (.4), wholesale (1.3 annualized 15.6), and core (.4) inflation rates far exceed expectations as worthless dollar and massive printing thereof and debt come home to roost, unexpected decline on the Philadelphia Fed's manufacturing index/disappointing NY Empire State Index, commissionable ponzi scheme with borrowed (ie., japan, etc.) and suckers’ funds continues,  blowout Q1 earnings report from wall street lunatic frauds morgan stanley, goldman sachs (daaaaah!) even as record foreclosure rate and retail sales below expectations, mergers obfuscate dismal picture, retail sales down (they say it’s the weather.....riiiiight.....how about consumer debt at record $2.41 trillion) jobs data from private (as opposed to government) entity below expectations (who would have thunk it!.....riiiiight!
