The cows can get milked on demand. Sort of the opposite of taxpayers–we get milked nonstop.

Hey guys, good show.

with all the talk about collateralized cow obligations, though you might want to listen to this.

Max and Stacy, I hope that you are aware that the whole false milk cult is a big part of the ecological holocaust. Stop drinking milk is one import step of slowing down the destruction of the planet. Milk is bad for your own health and the health of the planet (besides the fact that cows are another group of ‘cheap’ slave labour). Please do some research if you have no clue what I am talking.

Great show!

Have either of you seen this website?

Its odd, and it is rather difficult at time to understand, but very interesting

I think you guys should have Reinhardt on your show(s)

Milk prices are demand driven and profit driven. If dairies lose money, they reduce the number of cows, and some farms close down. New Zealand exports lots of milk products. If exports go down, demand decreases, prices fall. Farmers go out of business, reduce numbers of cows, supply goes down, prices increase to acceptable levels.
Youri Carma | May 20, 2009 at 4:15 pm |

Just like Max I got no idea of this milk market although I should know cause my father in law is a milk farmer with more than a 100 milk cows (shame on me). But the man simply talks a language I don’t understand maybe that’s the reason next to the fact that it’s one of the view things I totally have no interest in.

But I am gonna find out. I do know they have contracts with the milk factories and I do believe the have some sort of cooperative society. But like said, details later about how these milk prices are determined?

I wonder cause why is the milk price down? They say cause of global decline but I have my doubts? Did everybody stopped drinking milk and eating cheese? I find that very hard to believe.

comment est-ce possible que “capital” soit dérivé du mot “vache”? c’est incompréhensible. encore bidon!

P.S. The milk story here is very interesting. Fonterra opened a dairy in China that went bankrupt after they were found to have added melamine to the milk. (keyword: Sanlu). Fonterra is a co-operative that is fighting with its Board. The Board wants to issue public stock – the shareholder farmers don’t. Fonterra issued a bond to line up future shareholders. It oversold by a lot. The farmers here are being squeezed by the banks with higher interest rates & reduced lines of credit. The Prime MInister (John Key) is a former Merrill Lynch head of Global arbitrage out of London, with a vacation home in Hawaii, in Obama’s neighbourhood. The Fonterra chairman (van der Heyden) travelled to China with the PM a couple of weeks ago to make peace with the Chinese (under a diplomatic passport – of course). They said, “no hard feelings… we love New Zealand milk…. in fact, how much do you want for it?” The only thing white farmers fear more than foreign ownership, is Chinese foreign ownership.

Social Credit was a huge thing in western Canada from the depression till the 1970s. They ran the province of Alberta for almost 50 years; I guess they had white hats or something.

Social Credit came to power because of the ‘financial terrorism’ of the 1920s. One of the more radical ideas was printing their own money to get away from the Bad Banksters of the day, the people from the Eastern Establishment, Ottawa Washington etc. The money thing was to de-link the local economy from the others so that farmers etc could get credit etc which they couldn’t get from external money flow as credit had dried up.

Print your own money!
johnrot | May 20, 2009 at 6:03 pm |

meanwhile, oil and commodity prices rise steadily…

recession = more breeding = more pressure on the system = deeper recession = hyperinflation..

credit card defaults = commercial realestate recession.
bzmoore | May 20, 2009 at 6:18 pm |

Talking about Cows, I have a friend whom came to Canada from communist Yugoslavia in the 1950s. Apparently the Commies came to his father’s farm and ‘requisitioned’ things. When they came for his last milk cow he chased them off with a shovel. Hence the need to emmigrate to Canada, quickly.

Cows loom large out west here. When my grandfather homesteaded just north of the US border one of the Oligarchs of the time (a giant ranching company) came along and ‘requisitioned’ his only cow. Luckily he wasn’t an American with a gun, or in the land of the Free home of the Brave. If he was I’m sure he would have been right, but, dead. Sometimes grasshopper it is better to bend than not.

So in tough times watch out for Big Government or Big Industry especially if you have valuable assets in the form of a Bessy or Mabel.

@Stacy, max or anybody:
any idea what this means?

I’m glad you guys are exposing the continuing interference of Mrs Watanabe in the New Zealand economy. Why doesn’t she spend her trillions of yen on suction-footed Garfield soft toys for her car? Financial analysts in NZ are too prudish to say what she really needs.

Check out the National party candidate for the Mt Albert by-election:

(From a few nights ago on TV3 news)… watch from 3.45 to 4.15. She loses the election in approx 30 seconds. Shown over and over here like the 9-11 footage…
Mep | May 20, 2009 at 8:25 pm |

@ Johnrot,

This: “recession = more breeding = more pressure on the system = deeper recession = hyperinflation.”– minus the hyperinflation concern–is the reason that Democrats included spending for contraception/family planning in the original stimulus bill. The math was something like each dollar spent on contraception would save $5.00. But since the Dems let the GOP shame them for the inclusion, it was stripped out. Not very bright.

Derivatives market cut nearly in HALF!!!!

And speaking of Collateralized Cow Swaps…
How about making a fund called
Credit for Employment Obligations,
(CEO’s)
where you package a group of unemployed people into a security, and trade it on the market….
If they get work, then the security loses book value.
Kind of like selling off assets…
When the group of people in the security requires funding, they just issue some MORE shares into the market…
maybe issue WARRANTS…

I wonder if it is possible to turn Unemployment into a Corporation???
Or an Index…

Although, I think the BC Gov’t already tried that with BCRIC and the WOF…

@Mike/Liverpool…

I am assuming you are talking about the first guest that he talks to…
He dropped two key phrases…
TWEAKED = Acid
“Coming off the rails” = Coke…

And the reference to a joke… BoA… Auto industry…
And how he was trying to “communicate with them on TV”
Was he yelling at the TV and wondering why they weren’t listening?

I wonder that, too, sometimes…
But I keep trying… I know those bastards can hear me…

@GB

“I wonder if it is possible to turn Unemployment into a Corporation???

I’m not sure but if you apply for unemployment online you automatically get a US Bank debt card, contract and all the fees.

interesting…no?

Food stamps are now on a JP Morgan Chase debt card.

So I buy ammo on the one and can foods on the other. Sendin’ my message to the pigs.
stacyherbert | May 21, 2009 at 12:12 am |

@Marc Chabot – “Vache” means “cow,” singular. The word from which “capital” derives is “cheptel” – or livestock. http://www.cnbc.com/id/30705805

Good show!

I hope there is some awesome cheap desalination tech, as feeding those cows our fresh water isnt very efficient, something like 800 – 2500 gallons per pound of cow. Gulp.

Cant wait for On the Edge!
Mr Supergeek | May 21, 2009 at 4:15 am |

@Mep
I thought you might be interested in the cheap new form of contraception my partner and I have been using, just at the moment before things get icky icky she puts on her best Max Keiser voice and shouts “RISE UP, RISE UP” it never fails to work. For added protection sometimes we leave the lights on and she wears her teeshirt with the words ‘RISE UP’ on the front.
Maybe this side effect could be an added incentive for anyone not sure whether to purchase a teeshirt from maxkeiser.com.

Problem is that there is so little talk about the derivatives market that when you find some info your over happy.

Hey Stacy,

Baby booms are not only milking cows, but they are also eating the cows, and the calfs before die off.

I’ve used Linux on and off since 1994. While I love the freedom and privacy that it allows, I can assure you it has many big and small problems that will always prevent its wider adoption. Most of those problems no one is working on fixing.

A list of them:

One hope for a Linux that anyone can use is Google. If they can develop their Android system, which is based on Linux, into a desktop OS, or if mobile phones evolve into pseudo laptops, we may have a Linux is both usable and popular.

Speaking of Milk and Honey:

Apparently many countries are rather loose with the definition of Made in xxx. In Canada you are allowed to label honey as Made in Canada as long has it has some Canadian honey in it. The truth is that huge amounts of honey are imported from China and mixed with a little bit of Canadian honey and labeled Made in Canada. This is because labeling is not government inspected or controlled it is controlled by, guess who, the honey people.

It is likely that Canada is not off side compared to other countries and that Chinese toxic food with Melamine or whatever is everywhere including Made in Australia Made in NZ Made in USA food.
